Description of Business
Overview
On December 31, 2009 Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. changed its name to Kiwibox.Com, Inc.
We own and operate “Kiwibox.com”, a social networking website. Initially launched in 1999, Kiwibox.com is an online social networking community.. Kiwibox has a regional-based advertising-system that allows target-group-optimized ads for advertisers and sponsors.
Kiwibox Operations
Kiwibox was one of the first social networks integrated for social mobile advertising in its mobile-apps, to account for the movement to mobile applications from fixed site usage We are continuing to optimize this website and develop mobile applications to keep these users engaged across multiple platforms. We are presently increasing the number of events sponsored in Germany as a way to bind our German members to our website.
The Company has successfully integrated Pixunity to the US market and will continue to add impressive features throughout the year. At the same time we continue to increase our market presence. Our promotional teams, both inside and outside of New York City, continue to develop partnerships with event organizers and businesses along the East Coast of the United States and plan further expansion of these types of market alliances thoughout 2014.
The Company attaches great importance to its innovative technology developments and continues to follow the top social network market leaders with technology upgrades, providing its users with an alternative social networking opportunity.
The operating expenses, not including stock-based compensation, are at a level of approximately $88,000 per month. (see sections “Loans and Notes Payable”).
Overall, we have equipped the entire website with the newest state-of-the-art advertising features which enable sponsors to self-direct their message to specific target audiences based on gender, age, geographic region, education, and interests. That also included a Search-Engine optimization with privacy options which improves search results. We focused our development resources to construct a scaleable and highly redundant system that can accommodate future growth. Our platform and software was updated in the 2Q to the new Internet Protocol IPv6 to verify being reachable also in the near future. During 2012 Kiwibox and Kwick! paralleled their software developments, versions and technology to optimize future developments. This experience and base technology will help us to integrate easier further networks. These technology improvements will permit us to more easily integrate new applications and networks as they are acquired in the future.
One of the most important features of a social network website is the Search and “be found” function. Here we completely updated our member search function to facilitate friends searches and establish networks of users on a global basis.
Potential Revenue Streams and Marketing Strategy
Currently we generate the majority of our revenue from advertising/sponsorships. We anticipate revenue growth from increased membership activity and our revitalized website as we continue to implement new marketing strategies. Our software and networking technologies we incorporated during 2012 now permit our mobile devices to accept and receive direct advertising, a vital mobile usage component that we expect to drive new advertising revenues during 2014.
With the integration of target-group optimized advertising we seek to accommodate potential advertisers, recognizing and responding to the importance of a contact-price in relation to the internet target “cloud”. Our social networks permit us to work with potential advertisers to identify the right member groups for direct target advertising, a marketing channel that is readily accessible to our social media community.
Community means social network - and thrives on membership networking. Our new website is based on the latest web technology which makes it easier for users to stay connected and to interact with each other. Most importantly, our website features permit our community members to stay informed in “real” time about events and parties in areas we are targeting through our promotional teams.
Safety
Kiwibox.com has developed an effective monitoring model which assists in maintaining a safe site for our member base, combining both technology based systems and user moderation. Users communicate and share information in an environment where they feel both secure and at ease. Members of the Kiwibox team monitor forums and groups daily to ensure the content is appropriate.
In addition to our monitoring system, the Kiwibox.com platform is equipped with advanced technology safety features. This includes the private sphere configuration of users, contact blocs for larger age differentials, anti-spam protection and intelligent self-learning user-scoring feature. In addition to this, Kiwibox.com has implemented state of the art security features such as former Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo’s hash value database in order to block images of illegal sexual content.. With the combination of human moderation and advanced technology, users are afforded a safe and secure site.
Competition
Our primary competitors are other youth targeted online social networks, including Facebook.com, Twitter. Facebook and Twitter are widely considered the industry leaders, however, recently statistics and strategic announcements from both companies has indicated a shift in the target audience from teens and college students to a much broader and more adult demographic, because of their international focus. We plan to distinguish ourselves by targeting the US-market and by combining the social-network advantages with user generated content - from users to users, while stressing the community feeling. As these other social networks have made changes to their websites we have been able to capitalize on the disenfranchised users and bring them into our online community.
Intellectual Property
The Kiwibox.com web and mobile software and other related intellectual property rights are important assets. We hold the Internet domain names Kiwibox.com, Kiwibox.net, Kiwibox.org, as well as other country-code top level domains (e.g. kiwibox.cn) and feature-based domains like 4kiwi.com.
Governmental Regulations
Our Kiwibox website operations are subject to state, federal and international laws, rules and regulations that cover on-line business, privacy policies, consumer protection and product marketing. The Kiwibox website business is subject to state, federal and international laws, rules and regulations applicable to online commerce, including user privacy policies, product pricing policies, website content and general consumer protection laws. Various laws, rules and regulations have been adopted, and probably will be adopted in the future, that apply to the Internet, including available online content, privacy concerns, online marketing, “spam” and unsolicited commercial email, taxation issues, and regulations that effect and monitor the quality of products and services.
A portion of these laws, rules and regulations that concern the Internet and its uses have been only recently adopted. Courts and administrative agencies have not yet fully interpreted these legal requirements as to their application and scope. Accordingly, our Kiwibox website business is subject to the uncertainties of future interpretations and application of these legal requirements. The application and interpretation of these legal requirements or the passage of new and/or revised laws, rules and regulations could reduce the demand for Kiwibox website services, increase its operational costs, and expose it to potential liability. Any such events could have a material adverse effect upon our Kiwibox website business and financial condition. Our failure, or that of our business partners, to accurately predict and anticipate the interpretation or application of these laws, rules and regulations, whether now in force or adopted in the future, could have a detrimental impact on our operations, create negative publicity for us and expose us to potential liability.
State and federal agencies are applying consumer protection laws to regulate the on-line use, collection and dissemination of personal information and website content. These laws require us to implement programs to notify our website users of our privacy and security programs. Consumer protection laws will require us to obtain the consent of our website users if we want to collect and use certain portions of their personal information. We are currently voluntarily working in partnership with the New York State Attorney General’s office and have incorporated hash value technology into our website.
The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) is the lead federal agency monitoring Internet websites and their content. State attorneys general have become active monitors of the Internet at the local State level. These governmental bodies may investigate or bring enforcement actions against website operators they deem in violation of applicable consumer protection laws. We believe that our Kiwibox website’s collection and dissemination of information programs, including our privacy policies, do and will continue to comply with existing laws. However, a decision by a federal or state agency that any of our Kiwibox website’s business practices do not meet applicable legal standards could result in liability and have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Employees
Currently, we have 3 employees.
ITEM 1.A:Risks Related to Our Business
Early Stage Company; Generation of Revenues
Kiwibox.Com, Inc. (“Kiwibox” or “the Company”) can be considered an early stage company and investors cannot reasonably assume that we will ever be profitable. As an early stage company, we are likely to continue to have financial difficulties for the foreseeable future. We may successfully re-develop our website operations and generate additional revenues but still be unable to achieve profitability. Kiwibox had devoted substantial funds to develop its website, but investors should be aware that there can be no assurance that Kiwibox will ever achieve revenues that exceed its operational costs. We may not obtain the funding necessary to provide Kiwibox with the working capital necessary to continue to develop and market its website. Moreover, the Kiwibox.com website may not receive sufficient internet traffic to increase revenues or achieve profitability.
Doubt Raised About our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.
Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we will remain a going concern and that our assets will increase and that we will satisfy our liabilities in the normal course of our business. Kiwibox has had minimal revenues and/or has incurred operating losses during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 , 2012, and 2013. Our independent auditors have concluded that these factors create an uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent, among other factors, on our continued success in raising capital.
Need for Additional Capital; Short-Term Viability of Company
Our operations require immediate investment of equity capital or loans to continue to operate. If we can not secure funds in the short-term, we will be required to close our entire business operations and our website. Assuming we can receive a current investment or loans to fund our immediate operational needs, our Kiwibox website business’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the degree to which teenagers use the kiwibox.com Website and the degree to which Kiwibox is able to generate revenues from users of its site. We expect to require additional financing before we achieve a profitable level of operations, however, there is no assurance that such funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we elect to sell equity to raise additional funds, there is no assurance that additional equity can be sold on terms favorable to the Company and to its existing shareholders, with the result that existing shareholders may incur substantial dilution. Without the necessary funding, we may be required to delay, reduce or terminate some or all of our Kiwibox website business or our efforts to obtain additional funding.
No Formal Feasibility and Market Research Plan
We have collected data and statistics concerning the potential market for the Kiwibox.com website and the costs of marketing our services. We have relied principally on the judgment and conclusions of our management, based on their respective knowledge and experiences. We have not performed any formal marketing study that confirms any absolute demand for the services we are providing on our Kiwibox.com website.
Unpredictability of Future Revenues; Potential Downturns in Operating Results
Due to Kiwibox’s minimal revenues since inception and the uncertainty of revenues that may be generated through potential partners and alliances, we are currently unable to forecast our future revenues with accuracy. Our current and future operational costs are based primarily on our marketing and website development plans and our estimates of future revenues. Our potential advertising and joint marketing sales results are difficult to forecast at this stage. It will be difficult for us to realign our operational expenses should future revenue forecasts not materialize which would require that we curtail or cease certain aspects of our operations. Accordingly, if our future revenues are insufficient to fund our planned operations, such a shortfall could have an immediate adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
	
We may experience cyclical downturns in our future operating results due to various factors, many of which are beyond our control. Some of the factors that could impact our operating results include: (a) our ability to attract and retain new members to our Kiwibox.com website; (b) new developments by our competitor websites; (c) advertising and product price competition; (d) our ability to develop enhancements to our website, upgrade its internet functionality and services; (e) our ability to attract and retain necessary personnel; (f) difficulties with our software or hardware equipment, including any interruptions in the development and maintenance of our internet equipment and related infrastructure systems related to our Kiwibox.com website; (g) the future impact of governmental rules, regulations and laws, and; (h) general economic conditions.
Website and Service Development Risks
The continuing development of our Kiwibox.com website is a highly complex technical process. We are continuing the process of designing and implementing a wide array of feature and contents enhancements in order to remain competitive in our teen marketplace. If we are unable to develop and introduce new services or enhancements to our website in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Limited Senior Management Team; Potential Problems with Expanding Personnel
We have a limited number of senior management personnel, planning, developing and managing our website business. We have expanded our website operations to accommodate potential growth in our membership and marketplace. We could experience significant pressure on our financial resources and management personnel as a result of the current expansion. In order to manage this expansion, we may be required to adopt new operating procedures, develop new advertising and marketing plans, financial controls and procedures and policies to supervise a growing employee population. We will also be required to attract, retain and properly administer the expansion of our employee population. Investors should be aware that we may not be able to adequately manage all of these new developments in our expansion, in which case our operations, business prospects, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Competition
Our website business in the young adult and teen marketplace is highly competitive. We can give no assurances that our website business will effectively compete with the more established teen websites currently operating in this marketplace.
Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources, established brand names and significantly larger membership and customer bases and we expect our competition to only intensify.
Dependence on Management
The Kiwibox.com website’s success will be substantially dependent on the continued services and on the performance of our current senior management. We will also be dependent upon our ability to retain and provide incentives for our management team. The loss of services of any one or more of our senior management team could have a material adverse affect on our operating results, business prospects and financial condition.
Our success will be dependent, in large part, on the services of our principal officers and employees. The loss of any of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations. We do not maintain “key-man” life insurance policies on the lives of our officers to compensate us in the event of their deaths.
Except for issues that require shareholder approval, investors should be aware that they will have no vote on our operations, business developments or any management issues, including expansion, website enhancements or personnel decisions. You should not invest in our company unless you understand that all business and operational decisions are made by our management.
Creation of Brand Awareness
It will be crucial to the economic success of our Kiwibox.com website that we promote and establish brand awareness. A successful brand awareness campaign will tend to decrease our marketing expenses over time. If we are not able to adequately establish our brand in our marketplace, our operating results, market growth and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Potential for Defects in our Products and Services
Our Kiwibox.com website, its functionality, product offerings and services may contain defects or problems yet undetected. Such defects or problems could delay the launch of our new Kiwibox.com website, generate negative public comment and inhibit marketplace acceptance, any one or more of which could have a material adverse affect on our operating results and financial condition.
Penny Stock Regulation
Our common shares are subject to the “penny stock rules” that require broker-dealers who sell our shares to make specific disclosures before selling to certain persons. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risk associated therewith as well as the written consent of the purchaser of such security prior to engaging in a penny stock transaction. These penny stock restrictions will continue to apply as long as the Company’s common stock continues to trade at market prices below $5.00. Investors should be aware that the regulations on penny stocks may significantly restrict the ability of any purchaser of our common shares to sell his or her Company common shares in the market.
Absence of Dividends
We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and we are not likely to do so in the foreseeable future. We presently intend to retain earnings for use in growing our business. We may pay for some of our future expansion through debt financing, in which case lenders traditionally prohibit the payment of any such dividends. We also are prohibited from paying dividends on our common stock before we have paid all dividends accrued on our preferred stock, which accruals amounted to $684,392 at December 31, 2013. Investors should be aware, therefore, that the Company intends to re-invest any earnings back into our business for the foreseeable future and that they should have no expectations of receiving any dividends on the common shares they may purchase.

Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.
Description of Business
Based on its market surveys, the Company’s business plan focused on increasing its regional membership during 2013. These efforts in the New York City membership market have resulted in an increased membership growth during 2013. The Company intends to continue its marketing efforts in this region through a series of street promotion and event organizing in 2014. The Company has developed a number of partnerships with event organizers and businesses along the east coast of the United States and plans further expansion of these types of market alliances.
Kiwibox.com is currently negotiating with a number of online advertisers to place advertisements on mobile devices. We expect these agreements to be in place by the beginning of the second quarter 2014 and fully implemented by the end of the second quarter 2014. The Company attaches great importance to its technology developments and continues to follow the top social network market leaders with technology upgrades, providing its users with an alternative social networking opportunity.
The operating expenses, not including stock-based compensation, remained at a level of approximately $88,000 per month. We are currently receiving funding at these levels from existing investors (see sections
“Loans and Notes Payable”).
Results of Operations for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2012
The Company’s acquisition of its subsidiary Kwick! significantly increased revenue. Our website presence is not yet supported by a volume of active members-users that would provide a basis for significant growth in advertising revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2013, total revenues amounted to $934,219 compared to $1,469,705 in 2012. Revenues were derived almost entirely from the Kwick! operations, which were acquired on September 30, 2011. The Company deconsolidated the operations of Kwick! in December 2013.
Gross Profit (Loss) amounted to $400,258 after considering $592,323 costs of goods sold. After deducting selling, research, and general and administrative expenses of $7,746,830 (which included $6,138,210 impairment of goodwill) compared to the $1,848,690 recorded in 2012, the Company realized an operating loss of $7,404,934 compared to an operating loss of $1,671,156 in 2012. For the year 2014 management expects operating expenses to remain steady and an expected increase in revenues due to new mobile advertising, this will start a process of putting the company on a path towards eventually eliminating the erosion of shareholder value.
The major item included in non-operating income and expenses was a charge of $2,307,402 accounting for the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature associated with convertible debt. We also had a gain of $4,036,848 in connection with changes in the valuation of derivative liabilities, and a $253,557 loss on the deconsolidation of Kwick. In 2012, the major item included in non-operating income and expenses was a charge of $7,663,872 accounting for the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature associated with convertible debt and a charge of $2,895,203 in connection with changes in the valuation of derivative liabilities In 2013, the year concluded with a net loss of $6,953,532. After accounting for dividends accrued on outstanding preferred stock which totaled $51,263 the net loss applicable to common shareholders was $7,004,795 or $0.01 per share, compared to a loss of $14,061,595 or $0.022 per share for the previous year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our business with new debt and equity capital since our cash flow is insufficient to provide the working capital necessary to fund our parent operations. In addition, we received $1,145,000 from short-term loans for continuing operations. We have an urgent need for working capital to fund our operations. If we are unable to immediately receive new equity investments or obtain loans, we will not be able to fund our operations and we will be required to close our business.
Our deficit in working capital amounted to $25,887,308 at December 31, 2013, as compared to $25,475,653 at December 31, 2012. Stockholders’ equity showed an impairment of $25,860,017 at the end of the year, compared to an impairment of $19,032,919 at the beginning of the year. The cash flow from operations totaled $(1,179,932) and was brought about primarily due to operating losses. We have no bank indebtedness at December 31, 2013. Our other indebtedness, excluding the other current liabilities described below, consisted of certain notes and loans aggregating $10,392,228, derivative conversion liabilities of $12,068,233 and advances from related parties of $33,612. The position “Obligations to be settled in stock” of $259,288 includes $113,288 for common shares and options accrued for certain officers and directors pursuant to their respective employment and remuneration agreements, and $146,000 for stock and warrants due under consulting agreements. Current liabilities also include $684,392 accrued unpaid dividends on outstanding preferred stock. Such dividends will be paid only if and when capital surplus and cash-flow from operations are sufficient to cover the outstanding amounts without thereby unduly impacting the Company’s ability to continue operating and growing its business.
Our current cash reserves and net cash flow from operations expected during the near future will be insufficient to fund our operations and website development and marketing plan over the next twelve months. We expect to fund these requirements with further investments in form of debt or equity capital and are in discussions with potential investors. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to identify financing sources, or if we do, whether the terms of such financing will be acceptable or commercially reasonable.
Absent the receipt of immediate equity investment or loans, we will be compelled to close our business operations. Absent the receipt of sufficient funds, our website development, results of operations and financial condition could be subject to material adverse consequences. There can be no assurance that we will find alternative funding for the working capital required to finance on-going operations.

ITEM 7 A:Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company is subject to certain market risks, for changes in financial market conditions. The Company does not undertake any special actions to limit those exposures. We do not have a significant interest rate risk because the interest on all our debt obligations is based on fixed rates in accordance with the terms of such indebtedness.

ITEM 9A:MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Item 9A(T). Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) as of December 31, 2013. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed and submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, included the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During our evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2013, conducted as part of the Company’s annual audit and preparation of our annual financial statements, several deficiencies were identified which viewed in the aggregate, represent a material weakness. As a result of this material weakness, described more fully below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.
The Company instituted and is continuing to implement corrective actions with respect to the deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness in 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.
Management has conducted, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. Management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting was conducted using the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Based on management’s assessment over financial reporting, management believes as of December 31, 2013, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the following deficiencies:
1. The Company’s control environment did not have adequate segregation of duties and lacked adequate accounting resources to address non routine and complex transactions and financial reporting matters on a timely basis, primarily due to a lack of resources.
2. The Company had only a part time chief financial officer performing all accounting related duties on site, presenting the risk that the reporting of these non routine and complex transactions during the preparation of our future financial statements and disclosures may not be accomplished in a timely manner. In September of 2012 the Company hired an additional comptroller to review and assist the Chief Financial Officer.
Company management believes that notwithstanding the above identified deficiencies that constitute our material weakness, that the consolidated financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
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.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company commenced efforts to address the material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting and its control environment through the following actions:
- We will continue to seek qualified fulltime or part-time employees and third party consultants to supplement our financial personnel when and if additional resources become available;
- We will continue to institute a more stringent approval process for financial transactions, and
- We will continue to perform additional procedures and analysis for significant transactions as a mitigating control in the control environment due to segregation of duties issues.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than described above, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Kiwibox.com, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Kiwibox.com, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2013. Kiwibox.com, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kiwibox.com, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s revenues are insufficient to finance the business, and the Company is entirely dependent on the continuation of funding from outside investors. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Organization
Kiwibox.Com, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 19, 1988 under the name Fortunistics, Inc. On November 18, 1998, the Company changed its name to Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. On December 31, 2009, the Company changed its name to Kiwibox.com, Inc.
On August 16, 2007 the Company acquired all outstanding shares of Kiwibox Media, Inc.
The Company, Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media Inc. were separate legal entities until December 31, 2009, with Kiwibox Media, Inc. being a wholly owned subsidiary. On December 31, 2009, the two subsidiaries, Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media, Inc. merged into the Company.
On September 30, 2011, Kiwibox.com acquired the German based social network Kwick!! Community GmbH & Co. KG, a wholly-owned subsidiary.
On September 24, 2013, Kwick Community GmbH & Co. KG signed an equity purchase agreement to acquire Interscholtz Internet Services GmbH and Co KG, a German limited liability company, and all the equity of its general partner, Interscholtz Beteiligungs GmbH. As of the balance sheet date, and pursuant to the terms of the contract, since full payment was not made for the purchase price of Interscholz Internet Services GmbH & Co KG, ownership does not transfer to Kwick Community GmbH & Co KG. Full payment must be made for ownership to transfer to Kwick. As of December 31, 2013 only $515,037 of the total purchase price of $1,352,000 was made. On December 9,2013 the acquisition of Intersholz Internet Services GmbH and Co KG by Kwick was rescinded due to non compliance with the terms of the addendum to the contract, calling for the full purchase price to have been paid.. However, Kwick did acquire all the equity of the general partner, Interscholz Beteiligungs GmbH, as full payment was not a requirement for transfer of ownership of that entity.
On December 10, 2013, the Company signed an Equity Purchase Agreement with Marcus Winkler to sell to him eighty (80%) percent of the equity of its German subsidiary, KWICK! Community GmbH & Co. KG, a German limited liability company, and Kwick! Beteiligungs GmbH, its general partner (collectively, “Kwick”).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company accounts for cash and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 include the accounts of Kiwibox.com, Inc. and the activities of its former subsidiary, KWICK! Community GmbH & Co. KG (“Kwick”) through December 18, 2013 (the date of deconsolidation of the subsidiary). Any significant inter-company balances and transactions were eliminated prior to deconsolidation.

1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In 2012, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill or Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 provides an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the entity is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Under the amendments in ASU 2011-08, an entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. An entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The Company has assessed the qualitative factors in all periods since adoption (see Note 22).
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill or Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Living Tangible Assets for Impairment. ASU 2012-02 simplifies the guidance for testing the decline in the realizable value (impairment) of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill by allowing an organization the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. An organization electing to perform a qualitative assessment is no longer required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the organization determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is "more likely than not" that the asset is impaired. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or our financial position.
Depreciation and Amortization
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation on equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of such assets between 3-10 years, or lease term for leasehold improvements, if for a shorter period. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Software costs are amortized using the straight line method and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Amortization begins when the related software is ready for its intended use in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Internal-Use Software, Subsequent Measurement.

1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rates prevailing during each period presented. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations. Gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of our foreign subsidiary operating in a non-hyperinflationary economy are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss until either sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation by the Company of its investment in the foreign entity. The accumulated gain or (loss) on foreign currency translation adjustment was eliminated on December 18, 2013 due to the deconsolidation of the Company’s foreign subsidiary.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expense was $82,727 and $82,573 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Revenue and expense from advertising barter transactions was $41,876 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.
Evaluation of Long Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are assessed for recoverability on an ongoing basis. In evaluating the fair value and future benefits of long-lived assets, their carrying value would be reduced by the excess, if any, of the long-lived asset over management’s estimate of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived asset.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Under ASC 820, a framework was established for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company accounted for certain convertible debentures modified in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 as derivative liabilities required to be bifurcated from the host contract in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in the convertible debentures could result in the note principal and related accrued interest being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares (see Note 13).
Securities Issued for Services
The Company accounts for stock, stock options and stock warrants issued for services and compensation by employees under the fair value method. For non-employees, the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of stock issuance or option/grant is used. The Company has determined the fair market value of the warrants/options issued under the Black-Scholes Pricing Model. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee's requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

Reclassification of Certain Securities Under ASC 815-15
Pursuant to ASC 815-15, “Contracts in Entity’s own Equity”, if a company has more than one contract subject to this Issue, and partial reclassification is required, there may be different methods that could be used to determine which contracts, or portions of contracts, should be reclassified. The Company's method for reclassification of such contracts is reclassification of contracts with the latest maturity date first.
Capitalization of Software /Website Development Costs
The Company capitalizes outside-contracted development work in accordance with the guidelines published under ASC 350-50, “Website Development Costs”. Under ASC 350-50, costs incurred during the planning stage are expensed, while costs relating to software used to operate a web site or for developing initial graphics should be accounted for under ASC 350-50, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, unless a plan exists or is being developed to market the software externally. Under ASC 350-50, internal and external costs incurred to develop internal-use computer software during the application development stage should be capitalized. Costs to develop or obtain software that allows for access or conversion of old data by new systems should also be capitalized, excluding training costs.
Fees incurred for web site hosting, which involve the payment of a specified, periodic fee to an Internet service provider in return for hosting the web site on its server(s) connected to the Internet, are expensed over the period of benefit, and included in cost of sales in the accompanying financial statements.
A total of $0 and $60,321 was capitalized for web-site development work during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the Company’s income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset.

Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Common Stock equivalents have not been included in this computation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. Such common stock equivalents totaled 104,903,240 common shares at December 31, 2013, comprised of 26,500,000 shares issuable upon exercise of stock purchase warrants, 4,900,000 shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, 729,537 shares exercisable upon conversion of convertible preferred shares, and 72,773,703 shares potentially issuable upon conversion of convertible debt. Such debt and the related accrued interest, is presently convertible at the option of four holders at a conversion price of 50% of the ten day trailing market price. The total principal due under these notes of $9,918,699 would yield in excess of 3.5 billion shares if fully converted, however, the respective notes, all of which were issued to these four investors, carry a stipulation whereby the number of all shares issued pursuant to a conversion, may in the aggregate not exceed a number that would increase the total share holdings beneficially owned by such investor to a level above 9.99%. At the end of the quarter, this clause limits any conversion to the aforementioned number of shares. All of the aforementioned conversions or exercises, as the case may be, are at the option of the holders.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is derived from advertising on the Kiwibox.Com or Kwick websites. Most contracts require the Company to deliver the customer impressions, click-throughs or new customers, or some combination thereof. Accordingly, advertising revenue is estimated and recognized for the period in which customer impressions, click through or new customers are delivered. Licensing or hosting revenue consists of an annual contract with clients to provide web-site hosting and assistance.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2.GOING CONCERN
The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on increasing sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. Our revenues during the foreseeable future are insufficient to finance our business and we are entirely dependent on the willingness of existing investors to continue supporting the Company with working capital loans and equity investments, and our ability to find new investors should the financial support from existing investors prove to be insufficient. If we were unable to obtain a steady flow of new debt or equity-based working capital we would be forced to cease operations. In their report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, our auditors have expressed an opinion that, as a result of the losses incurred, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans are to continue seeking equity and debt capital until cash flow from operations cover funding needs.
3.CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains cash balances in a financial institution which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Balances in these accounts may, at times, exceed the federally insured limits. At December 31, 2013, cash balances in bank accounts did not exceed this limit. The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers located throughout the U.S. and overseas. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

5.PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $64,194 and $96,993, respectively. Additional amortization over the next 2 years is estimated to be as follows:
7.INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY
On December 10, 2013, the company signed an equity purchase agreement with Marcus Winkler to sell to him eighty (80%) percent of the equity of its German subsidiary, Kwick. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the purchaser paid 36,000 Euros as the purchase price and the company was required to obtain shareholder approval of the sale as required under applicable Delaware Law. The majority shareholder approval was obtained on December 18, 2013. In addition, the Company and Mr. Winkler signed a Lock-Up and Standstill Agreement pursuant to the general terms of which the Company agreed not to participate in the management, operations or finances of Kwick, which shall be exclusively managed and under control of the purchaser. Accordingly, the Company’s minority ownership position shall be subject, in all respects, to the exclusive control of the purchaser. Mr, Winkler also has investment and voting control over Kreuzfeld Ltd., a major creditor of the company, which holds a Class AA convertible promissory note with an outstanding balance (including accrued interest) of $4,267,834 as of December 31, 2013.
Due to the significant reduction in the Company’s percentage of controlling interest in Kwick (down to 20%), coupled with the contract restrictions over voting rights and management of the operations of Kwick subsequent to December 18, 2013, the Company recognized the deconsolidation of Kwick as of that date, resulting in a loss on deconsolidation of $253,557, and now carries the investment in Kwick under the cost method of accounting. Due to the significant reductions in fair value of this reporting unit that are considered other than temporary, and impairment of the related goodwill, the carrying value of this cost method investment was zero at December 31, 2013.

13.DERIVATIVE CONVERSION FEATURES
On July 27, 2010, the Company issued two Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Notes (“Class A Notes”), one to Cambridge Services, Inc., in the principal amount of $683,996, consolidating the series of loans (and related accrued interest) made to the Company since June 26, 2009, and one to Discover Advisory Company, in the principal amount of $1,160,984, consolidating the series of loans (and related accrued interest) made to the Company since September 19, 2008 and including advances through September 30, 2010. Each of these promissory notes are due on demand, accrue interest at the rate of 10%, per annum, are convertible (including accrued interest) at the option of each lender into Common Stock of the Company at 50% of the averaged ten closing prices for the Company's Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date but in no event less than $0.001 (the "Conversion Price"). Both promissory notes contain conversion caps, limiting conversions under these notes to a maximum beneficial ownership position of Company common stock to 9.99% for each lender. Each of these notes contains Company covenants, requiring the lenders’ prior written consent in order for the Company to merge, issue any common or preferred stock or any convertible debt instruments, declare a stock split or dividends, increase any compensation to its officers or directors by more than five (5%) during any calendar year. During the year ended December 31, 2013, there were no notes converted. During 2012, to settle the obligation for indebtedness from the acquisition of Kwick!, Cambridge Services, Inc., Discovery Advisory Services, Kreuzfeld, Ltd and VGZ advanced $298,913, $2,436,588, $2,069,479 and $365,388, respectively.
The Company renegotiated certain outstanding promissory notes with its four major creditors, Discover Advisory Company of the Bahamas (“DAC”), Kreuzfeld Ltd. of Switzerland (“Kreuzfeld”), Cambridge Services, Inc. of Panama (“CSI”) and Vermoegensverwaltungs-Gesellschaft Zurich LTD of Switzerland (“VGZ”). As of August 1, 2012, the Company authorized the issue of a new series of corporate notes, the Class AA Senior Secured Convertible Revolving Promissory Notes, dated as of August 1, 2012 (the New Note(s)”) and issued New Notes: (1) to DAC, with a maximum credit facility of $5,000,000 which replaced the Company’s outstanding Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Note, dated July 27, 2010, in the original principal amount of $1,080,984, now cancelled, which has an outstanding balance due (including accrued interest) of $3,952,008 as of December 31, 2013; (2) to Kreuzfeld, with a maximum credit facility of $5,000,000 which replaced the Company’s outstanding Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Note, dated September 16, 2011, in the original principal amount of $2,000,000, now cancelled, which has an outstanding balance due (including accrued interest) of $4,267,834 as of December 31, 2013; (3) to CSI, with a maximum credit facility of $2,000,000 which replaced the Company’s outstanding Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Note, dated August 1, 2011, in the original principal amount of $1,303,996, now cancelled, with an outstanding balance due (including accrued interest) of $2,729,435 as of December 31, 2013, and; (4) to VGZ, with a maximum credit facility of $2,000,000 which replaced the Company’s outstanding Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Note, dated September 30, 2010, in the original principal amount of $2,000,000, now cancelled, with an outstanding balance due (including accrued interest) of $955,159 as of December 31, 2013. All of the New Notes accrue interest at the rate of 10%, are convertible into common shares at the conversion rate equal to 50% of the averaged ten closing prices for the Company's Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date but in no event less than $0.001, and are due on demand.. Pursuant to an Equity and Stock Pledge Agreement, also negotiated and executed as of August 1, 2012, the repayment of the outstanding indebtedness of the New Notes is secured by all of the limited partnership interests of the Company’s partly-owned (now deconsolidated) German subsidiary, KWICK! Community GmbH & Co. KG, a private German limited partnership (“KG”), and all of its shares of the sole general partner of KG, KWICK! Community Beteiligungs GmbH.
On February 28, 2012 the Company signed a convertible note with Michael Pisani. This is a 1 year note that is convertible at $0.025 per share in the amount of $50,000. In the event that any portion of any outstanding Company promissory note, preferred share, warrant or stock option held of record by a non-affiliate of the Company is converted, exercised or exchanged for common shares of the Company at a conversion price or conversion rate less than $0.025 per one (1) common share anytime any part of the outstanding principal amount of this note is outstanding, the conversion rate of this note shall automatically be adjusted to such lower conversion rate. The Company evaluated this conversion contingency under the guidance at ASC 815-40-15 and determined that this conversion feature should be bifurcated from the host contract and measures at fair value. The Company valued this conversion feature utilizing a Black-Scholes valuation model and a probability analysis with regard to the reset provision of the conversion price. The Company determined the initial value to be $55,241, with $50,000 recorded as a debt discount and the remainder as interest expense-derivative conversion features. The discount is being amortized over the life of the note. A total of $8,333 in amortization expense was recorded during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013 this debt plus accrued interest was paid in full.

13.DERIVATIVE CONVERSION FEATURES (continued)
The Company accounted for the conversion features underlying these convertible debentures in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contract in Entity’s Own Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in the convertible debentures could result in the note principal and related accrued interest being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares. The Company determined the value of the derivate conversion features of these debentures under these terms at the relevant commitment dates to be $2,307,402 utilizing a Black-Scholes valuation model, with $50,000 recorded as a debt discount as indicated above. The fair value of the derivative conversion features was determined to be $12,068,233 at December 31, 2013. The change in fair value of the liability for the conversion feature resulted in income of $4,036,848 for the year ended December 31, 2013, which is included in Other Income (Expense) in the accompanying financial statements.

15.FAIR VALUE
Some of the Company’s financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables.
Effective July 1 2009, the Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This topic defines fair value for certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance supersedes all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The Company accounted for the conversion features underlying certain convertible debentures in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in the convertible debentures could result in the note principal and related accrued interest being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares.
Effective July 1 2009, the Company adopted ASC 820-10-55-23A, Scope Application to Certain Non-Financial Assets and Certain Non-Financial Liabilities, delaying application for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities as permitted. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active exchange- traded securities and exchange-based derivatives.
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities, non-exchange-based derivatives, mutual funds, and fair-value hedges.
Kiwibox.Com, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Financial Statements
15.FAIR VALUE (continued)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include infrequently- traded, non-exchange-based derivatives and commingled investment funds, and are measured using present value pricing models. The company values the conversion liabilities using the Black-Scholes model and the assumptions are updated using independent data such as the risk free rate, volatility and expected life for each valuation date based on changes over time.
The following table reconciles, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, the beginning and ending balances for financial instruments that are recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements:
The fair value of the conversion features are calculated at the time of issuance and the Company records a conversion liability for the calculated value. The Company recognizes interest expense for the recognition of the conversion liability.

22.GOODWILL FROM THE ACQUISITION OF KWICK!
The excess of purchase price over tangible net assets acquired from Kwick at September 30, 2011 was initially allocated to goodwill in the amount of $6,138,210. During 2013, management determined based on qualitative and quantitative factors that there was an impairment to goodwill.
The goodwill was tested by the management of the Company in qualitative assessments throughout 2013. These assessments lead management to identify impairment indicators related to goodwill. Management therefore performed the two-step impairment test for goodwill, utilizing a market approach to the valuation. In estimating the fair value of the reporting unit, Kwick, management considered comparable per user values from recent acquisitions in the industry, as well as the effect of the economic recession and continuing deterioration of the use of social networks in Germany. After applying the estimated fair value of the reporting unit of $2,660,000 to the net assets of Kwick at June 30, 2013, an implied fair value of goodwill of $2,452,812 was calculated. Based on the impairment test, during the three months ended June 30, 2013, goodwill of $3,685,398 was determined to be impaired and was written off. Management considered additional qualitative factors during the three months ended September 30, 2013, and after consideration of failures by comparable social networks, continuing operational losses and negative cash flow, the estimated value of the reporting unit created an implied fair value of goodwill of $-0-. Based on the impairment test, during the three months ended September 30, 2013, goodwill of $2,452,812 was determined to be impaired and was written off.

23.FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, long-term debt and capitalized lease obligations: The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short term maturity of these instruments.
Limitations

These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates
24.FUTURE IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity , which provides guidance on releasing cumulative translation adjustments out of accumulated comprehensive income into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. This guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2014. The Company recognized the effects of releasing cumulative translation adjustments our of accumulated comprehensive income during the year ended December 31, 2013 based on the fact that the Company no longer holds a controlling financial interest in Kwick.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
