2014 5BARz Cellular Network Extender

 The 2014 5BARz Cellular Network Extender recently unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, March 2014.

 

This product supports 2G & 3G cellular devices for multi-bands or may be factory tuned for a single channel. The technology has successfully integrated both the send and receive antennae into the single device, and hosts an abundance of features which have never before been integrated into a single portable cellular device.

 

The Company’s initial product, the Road Warrior, won the prestigious 2010 innovation of the year award at CES (the largest consumer electronics show in the world) for achievements in product design and engineering. The Road Warrior, has passed FCC Certification, and has been produced in limited quantities to date by a contract manufacturer in the Philippines. Production of that product has been limited to a volume of 16,000 units, subject to the terms of a single purchase order and development program.

 

Management at 5BARz are confident that this new cellular device will alleviate much of the frustration experienced by users globally associated with weak or compromised cellular signal. This technology facilitates cellular usage in areas where structures, create “cellular shadows” or weak spots within metropolitan areas, and highly congested areas such as freeways, and also serves to amplify cellular signal as users move away from cellular towers in urban areas.  The market potential of the technology is far reaching.

 

The market opportunity for the 5BARz™ technology represents some 6.8 billion cell phone subscribers worldwide serviced by 900 cellular network operators. These cellular network operators represent the Company’s primary point of entry to the Global marketplace.

 

The 5BARz business opportunity to bring this state of the art technology to market represents a significant step forward in the deployment of micro-cell technology, referred to as a ‘cellular network infrastructure device” in the industry.

 

 

Company History

 

5BARz was incorporated on November 17, 2008 and is a Nevada Corporation. In 2010 the Company acquired the “Master Global Marketing and Distribution Rights” for the marketing and distribution of 5BARz™ products throughout the world from CelLynx Inc., a California based Company. In addition to the acquisition of the marketing and distribution rights, the Company acquired a 60% interest in the underlying intellectual property comprising the 5BARz™ products, and holds a security interest over the balance of those assets.

On March 27, 2012, 5BARz acquired a 60% controlling interest in CelLynx Group Inc. and it’s consolidated subsidiary CelLynx Inc.

The Market Opportunity

The market opportunity for the 5BARz™ technology represents more than 6.8 billion cell phone subscribers worldwide and is growing as a result of the following factors;

·

Dead zones, weak signals, and dropped calls are the biggest problems in the industry. Now, by adding internet and video, the quality issue is increasing exponentially.

 

· 76% of cellular subscribers use their mobile phone as the primary phone

 

· More consumers are using mobile phones for web browsing, up and down- loading photos, videos and music

 

· More mobile phones are operating at higher frequencies which have less ability to penetrate buildings

 

· Weak signals make internet applications inaccessible and slow and increase the drain on cell phone batteries.

 

·

Forty percent of all mobile phone users report inadequate service in their homes or office and we estimate that 60% of the 6.8 billion mobile phone users worldwide consider continuous connectivity to be very important.

 

Consumer demand for quality in the cell phone user experience is becoming an increasingly important factor. The 5BARz™ technology meets this need. 5BARz is currently developing relationships with Cellular network operators internationally to integrate the 5BARz™ product into cellular networks globally.

 

Why Poor Signals Exist

A variety of factors may cause dropped calls and dead zones, including congestion, radio signal interference, tower hand-off, and lack of coverage. Despite continued infrastructure investment by operators, and antenna technology improvements by base station providers and mobile phone makers, these problems will continue for the foreseeable future. This is because many of the contributing factors can't be controlled by the operators and manufacturers. To understand how innovative 5BARz™ products are in improving phone signals, it's first important to understand the causes of poor signal quality.

Congestion

In 1999, sales of mobile phones surpassed combined sales of personal computers and automobiles. By 2010, mobile phones had replaced land-line phones in 30% of U.S. households. Smart phones, led by iPhones and Android phones, have become indispensible personal assistants. Laptop computer sales outnumber desktop computer sales, and most laptops are equipped with cellular data chipsets or USB modems. Apple's iPad has sparked the connected tablet market too. Vending machines, automobiles, mobile sensors, and many other devices include "machine to machine" cellular data modules. As a result, the number of cellular voice and data devices will soon exceed the number of people on Earth.

If sheer numbers weren't enough, new uses for mobile devices are causing even faster growth in bandwidth usage. Obvious uses include video entertainment, videoconferencing, downloaded and streaming music, MMS, email, and application downloads. Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and many other social networking applications put further load on operator networks. Also, surprising sources of traffic have emerged, such as deliberate "miscalls". A miscall is when one subscriber calls another, but hangs up before the receiving party answers. Since operators don't charge for these uncompleted calls, subscribers are using miscalls as a free way to communicate. In India, orders for milk are made this way. In Syria, five miscalls in a row signals the recipient to "go online" to the Internet and chat. In Bangladesh, it's estimated that up to 70% of traffic at peak times is due to miscalls. This practice isn't limited to countries with low per-capita income, and yet it places a high load on operator networks.

There are sources of congestion based on location and time, too. Transportation clusters like airports, major highway intersections, bridges, and toll road gates all bring many people together at peak times. Also, because of home land-line replacement, many residential neighborhoods have many mobile phones in simultaneous use in mornings and evenings. Lastly, local population growth and immigration can result in too many phones for existing infrastructure. Due to long planning times, investment requirements, local government permits, and construction time, it's difficult for infrastructure to keep up with the pace of change in many developing areas, especially in growth countries.

Radio Signal Interference

Interference comes from both obvious and subtle causes. Certain materials aren't transparent to radio signals, especially durable materials used in buildings, large structures, and even automobiles. As a result there are radio shadows in which a mobile phone can't sense the signal from a base station. In addition, radio signals from adjacent channels or reflected signals can interfere with each other due to wave cancellation effects. In some cases these forms of interference primarily attenuate the signal (make it weaker). However, interference can also add noise, so that the ratio of signal to noise becomes too low for the mobile phone and the base station to understand each other.

Tower Hand-Off

Mobile phone networks are called "cellular" networks because they are made up of overlapping areas of coverage that are provided by base stations in fixed locations. As a mobile subscriber travels by automobile or train, he will eventually reach the limit of a base station's coverage. At that point, his mobile phone will "hand off" to a base station for the next coverage area. If signal quality is poor due to interference, or if the new base station is congested with too many mobile phones, the subscriber's connection may be lost.

Lack of Coverage

Some rural or developing areas don't have enough people or population density for operators to justify the cost of installing base stations except at wide intervals. In these areas the signal strength from the base station or the mobile phone may be too low to create or maintain a connection. This results in "dead zones" or dropped calls.

Solutions to Poor Signal Quality

Operators know that dead zones, dropped calls, and poor voice quality are big problems, and that re-dialing while driving can be unsafe. Operators also are concerned about subscribers' ability to make emergency calls. They understand that people rely on mobile phones for business and connecting with family. As mobile phones replace landlines, operators are especially aware that mobile signal quality is critical. Operators also see that wireless data is increasingly important for personal and business use.

To help, operators work with phone and base station manufacturers to improve antenna performance. They invest in new base stations in growth areas. They invest in technologies that enable more connections per base station. Operators have even provided refunds for dropped calls.

However, many factors causing poor signal quality can't be controlled by operators. Therefore products have emerged to help, provided by operators or companies who sell to either operators or subscribers.

Femtocells

Operators can provide femtocells to subscribers with poor signal quality at home. Usually the subscriber pays for hardware, installation, or a monthly fee. Femtocells are carrier grade, and are like small base stations that communicate with operators by using the home Internet connection as a "backhaul". In addition to backhaul the incoming call is routed thru the internet as well, which leads to the degredation of a call when trying to access the internet as well as engaging in a call. Lastly, femtocells only work with phones from one operator, so families with phones from multiple operators may have to request multiple femtocells.

Repeaters

Repeaters are usually carrier-grade equipment and are programmed for a specific operator. They extend cellular networks into buildings and small offices. As with femtocells, installation is complex and if not done properly they can cause network problems. Unlike femtocells, repeaters do not use the local Internet connections, but rather receive and re-transmit the signals between base stations and mobile phones.

Boosters

Boosters are usually sold online and through retail. They vary widely in amplification power, quality of amplification, and power balance. For example, these products amplify signals at 1, 3, 5, or even 10 watts all the time. Using power over 1 watt increases the probability that a booster will interfere with surrounding mobile devices. Also, it would be more energy efficient to adapt amplification power as needed, rather than to simply use the same wattage constantly. Many boosters don't support balanced power in both directions between base station and mobile phone. This may result in only solving the signal quality problem in one direction. Since communication is bi-directional, this doesn't actually solve the problem. Varying quality of amplification also introduces noise, which can interfere with surrounding devices.

A New Class of Solution

5BARz has evaluated the causes of poor signal quality, the needs of both operators and subscribers, and the solutions in the market. Femtocells, repeaters, and boosters either don't solve all parts of the problem, or aren't optimal due to cost or other drawbacks. Using expertise starting with a team of engineers who designed sophisticated base station amplifiers for operators, 5BARz has developed a new class of carrier-grade technology. That engineering team grew to a multi-national teams of engineers working on project specific challenges integrated into the 5BARz™ products. The result is a highly engineered hybrid of repeaters and boosters, intended for use in automotive applications, home, and office. 5BARz has tested these products in the lab, in the real world, and with operators. These products advance the state of the art to provide the following advantages:

 Low Power Use

5BARz™ products only amplify when required. The automotive products use less than 1/2 watt, while the home product uses less than 1 watt. This not only saves energy, but also minimizes interference with other wireless devices and the network itself. In fact, new rules being proposed by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission are expected to mandate low power standards such as 5BARz now provides.

Simple Setup

5BARz™ products don't require a technician to run wires, carefully determine proper location, or optimize orientation. No use of home Internet connection is required, and there are no switches or settings. The unit has a simple plug and play installation requirement.

 

 

 

11


 
 

 

Balanced Amplification

This feature, plays a key role in ensuring that the product does not interfere with the macro network, and is a feature covered by the Company’s patented technology. Receive and sent signals need automatic balance management in order for both directions of a communication channel to be improved. 5BARz™ products are not only smart about adapting amplification levels, but also about balancing amplification for incoming signals from the base station, and return signals from the mobile phone. This attribute is critical in that it ensures that the operation of the unit automatically avoids interference with the Macro Network. This automated process is a part of the 5BARz™ patented technology.

Signal Stability

5BARz has done extensive design, testing, and re-design to avoid a number of problems experienced by the antenna design of alternatives. For example, booster products can experience oscillations when people, animals, or vehicles move nearby. These oscillations can weaken the booster effect or cause interference with other wireless devices. Many booster products achieve size similar to 5BARz™' products by putting antennas close together in the same product package, but don't optimize radio wave interactions between those antennas. This weakens the boosters' effectiveness, and is one reason why other manufacturers compensate by using too much wattage, in turn wasting power and increasing the probability of interfering with other radio frequency devices and the network.

Integrated Antennae

The Company has developed and patented technology which facilitates the integration of both the receive and transmit antenna into the single device, without creating a feedback loop. This represents a very significant technological advance permitting the unit to be a self contained plug and play consumer electronic.

Broadband / Narrow band support

The Company’s products can provide amplification for bands from 5 to 60 Mhz.

Smart signal processing

The Company’s product is also capable of “interference & echo” cancellation, in addition to automatic noise suppression. As a result, the signal that reached your cell phone is both better quality and a stronger signal.

 

Self regulating intelligent power management

 

The unit is designed to sense cellular signal strength and will automatically adjust amplification to optimum levels.

 

Enhanced cell phone user experience

 

The 5BARz unit covers an area of some 4,000 square feet, providing a much increased voice experience and increased data throughput. In addition, the cell phone handset can experience power savings up to 80%.

Markets and marketing strategy

 

The Company’s primary entry point to markets is through collaborative arrangements with Cellular Network operators globally. That market is comprised of 6.8 billion cellular subscribers globally segregated by geographic region as follows;

 

 

 

The Company has initially embarked upon a multi channel marketing strategy with initial emphasis in Latin America as a direct result of the very favorable factors and the stage of development of the cellular markets in South and Central America and Mexico, more fully addressed herein.

 

During 2011 through 2013, the Company introduced the initial product, the Road Warrior, to major wireless operators in that region for the purpose of their analysis of the 5BARz™ technology. It is the objective of management, that the 5BARz™ products and technology be integrated into the network infrastructure of selected cellular network operators in the region. The intent is to work with cellular network operators in integrating the fixed cellular network extenders, designed for use in the home or office markets. This fixed unit was first unveiled to the market in February 2014 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Spain. These efforts have resulted in the development of a collaborative program, the first with a major global network operator in June 2013 whereby the Company is presenting a unique product for exclusive use on that operators network. This collaborative program has expanded from it’s inception to date with the Company building custom product for numerous geographic regions as well as the commencement of establishing collaborative arrangements with a greater number of network operators.

The mobile cellular network extenders (Road Warrior’s), which are not carrier specific are to be marketed through more conventional distribution channels. The Company commenced shipments of that unit with the shipment of an initial order of 1,000 units into Mexico in early 2014.

 

 

In addition, it is the intent of management to design future applications of the Company’s technology that will be integrated into the marketplace through the redesign of the products, working in collaboration with Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM’s), such as with automobile manufacturers, computer manufacturers, mobile home manufacturers etc.

 

The Company has been expanding its employee/consultant base in Latin America, Europe and the USA due to significant product interest. Further the Company has set a structure for the development of the German speaking market place in Europe, through a subsidiary operation 5BARz AG in Zurich Switzerland.

 

 

The LATAM Market

 

The Company has analyzed the fundamentals of the mobile phone market in the LATAM countries and has determined that to be a key point for market penetration for the 5BARz™ products for the following reasons;

 

First, the mobile phone market has just gone through a very strong decade of growth in Latin America, with mobile subscriptions having overtaken fixed lines as the preferred method of communication. As a result Latin America's mobile telephone industry has a high degree of market penetration. Mobile subscriptions totaled 88.2% of the region's population, compared to 55.2% in Asia Pacific, 90.4% in North America and 50.6% in the Middle East and Africa. Having recently invested heavily in subscription development, the cellular network operators are now focusing upon the maintenance of their substantial customer base, and the 5BARz™ technology can contribute substantially to achieving that customer satisfaction.

The mobile telephone industry in Latin America has benefited from generally opening up to competition. This provides a very fertile ground for the introduction of a technology such as 5BARz™ to secure customer retention through quality of service.

The inherent geographical difficulties in laying fixed line infrastructure have encouraged a move to mobiles, but in addition, that geography, the Andean and Rainforest regions and expanses of rural areas again benefit from the 5BARz™ technology whereby weak cellular signal is amplified within the vicinity of the user.

Further the LATAM countries are experiencing a renewed era of strong growth, reflecting reviving economic growth and improving income levels. This again is a favorable factor for the introduction of our products to meet the growing demands of consumers.

 

In addition, the launch of 3G and mobile broadband services has increased demand for mobile subscriptions. Mobile broadband is particularly desirable in areas with no or limited access to cable internet services. Moving to mobiles offers consumers the benefits of on-the-move communications and advantageous introductory deals. Greater access to communications also helps to narrow regional divides. All of these factors are enhanced by the 5BARz™ experience.

 

 

17


 
 

Internet usage is expanding since 2010, with broadband internet subscriptions generally growing by higher rates than mobile subscriptions

 

Initial 3G market expansion is likely to be greater in the region's wealthier markets, such as Argentina, Chile and Mexico, and these have been specifically targeted by our Company with very favorable results. 

    Number of subscribers

       Brazil: 271 million

       Mexico: 92.9 million

       Argentina: 56.7 million

       Colombia: 49.1 million

       Venezuela: 27.9 million

       Chile: 21 million

       Other countries: 103 million

       Total: 621 million

 

 The DACH MARKET – 5BARz AG

The DACH/D-Deutschland or Germany, A-Austria and CH-Switzerland group of countries in the European Union represents one of the most technologically advanced and progressive sectors of that economic group representing a German speaking majority population base of 90.3 million people, comprised of Germany with 78.3 million, Austria, 7.4 million, and Switzerland, 4.6 million

 

Formation of Subsidiary Company, 5BARz AG

 

On November 10, 2011, 5BARz International Inc. commenced the organization under the laws of Switzerland, in the Canton of Zurich, a wholly owned subsidiary called 5BAR AG. In so doing the registrant acquired 5,100,000 shares, of the issued and outstanding stock of the newly incorporated Company. Aggregate proceeds paid for the shares were CHF 51,000 representing the fully paid price of CHF 0.01 per share. 5BARz AG simultaneously had approved and issued to an escrow agent 4,900,000 fully paid shares, at a price of CHF 0.01 per share for aggregate proceeds of CHF 49,000. Those shares are being held for resale, and are more fully described herein. The net proceeds received on re-sale will be paid into 5BARz AG as additional paid in capital. 

 

The newly formed subsidiary has appointed two directors, one of which, Mr. Daniel Bland is the President, CEO and a Director of the registrant. The other Director is Mr. Peter Burkhardt of Oberengstringen, Zurich, Switzerland.

  

Engagement of BDC Investment AG:

 

On October 15, 2011, 5BARz AG, entered into an agreement with BDC Investment AG., an independent investment Company in Oberengstringen, Zurich, Switzerland to act as agent for the Company for the sale of the 4,900,000 shares referred to above, on a best efforts basis. In addition to acting as agent for the 5BARz AG, BDC Investment AG will provide consulting services and will be responsible for corporate communications, for 5BARz AG in the European marketplace.

 

Global Marketing and Distribution Agreement

 

On October 19, 2011, 5BARz International Inc. entered into a Marketing and Distribution agreement with 5BARz AG, through which 5BARz AG holds the exclusive rights for the marketing and distribution of products produced under the 5BARz™ brand for markets in Switzerland, Austria and Germany. This sales and marketing program will commence upon completion of the corporate formation and funding.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

 

Need For Additional Financing

 

The Company has very limited funds, and such funds may not be adequate to take advantage of current and planned business opportunities. Even if the Company's funds prove to be sufficient to acquire an interest in, or complete upon transactions contemplated, the Company may not have enough capital to fully develop the opportunity. The ultimate success of the Company may depend upon its ability to raise additional capital. As additional capital is needed, there is no assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. If not available, the Company's operations will be limited.

 

 

Ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has incurred net losses of $5,122,746 for the period from inception November 14, 2008, to December 31, 2013. The Company has earned no revenues to date.  Consequently the Company’s future is dependent upon their ability to obtain financing and to execute upon their business plan and to create future profitable operations for the business.  These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. In the event that the Company cannot raise further debt or equity capital, or achieve profitable operations, the Company may have to liquidate their business interests and investors may lose their investment.

 

Lack of profitable operating history

 

The Company faces all of the risks of a new business and the special risks inherent in the investigation, acquisition, and involvement in a new business opportunity. The Company must be regarded as a new or "start-up" venture with all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties to which such ventures are subject, and consequently has a high risk or failure.

 

Dependence upon two directors and limited management and consultants

 

The Company currently has only two individuals serving as its officers and directors, and few employees and consultants. The Company will be heavily dependent upon their skills, talents, and abilities to implement its business plan, and secure additional personnel and may, from time to time, find that the inability of the officers and directors to fully meet the needs of the business of the Company results in a delay in progress toward implementing its business plan.

 

 

We may conduct further offerings in the future in which case investors' shareholdings may be diluted.

 

Since our inception, we have relied on sales of our common stock to fund our operations. We may conduct further equity offerings in the future to finance our current operations. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, the price per share could be lower than that paid by our current stockholders.  We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to fund our business operations. If we issue additional stock, investors' percentage interests in us will be diluted. The result of this could reduce the value of current investors' stock.

Regulation of Penny Stocks.

 

The Company's securities are subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase "accredited investors" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker- dealers to sell the Company's securities and also may affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore.

 

In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks." Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because the securities of the Company may constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to the Company and to its securities. The rules may further

affect the ability of owners of Shares to sell the securities of the Company in any market that might develop for them.

 

Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. The Company's management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although the Company does not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to the Company's securities.

 

Our common stock is not listed on a national exchange and as a public market develops in the future, it may be limited and highly volatile, which may generally affect any future price of our common stock.

 

Our common stock currently is listed only in the over-the-counter market on the OTCQB, which is a reporting service and not a securities exchange.  We cannot assure investors that in the future our common stock would ever qualify for inclusion on any of the NASDAQ markets for our common stock, The American Stock Exchange or any other national exchange or that more than a limited market will ever develop for our common stock.  The lack of an orderly market for our common stock may negatively impact the volume of trading and market price for our common stock.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

20


 
 

 

Any future prices for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the following:

 

  · the depth and liquidity of the markets for our common stock;

 

  · investor perception of 5BARz International Inc. and the industry in which we participate;

 

  · general economic and market conditions;

 

  · statements or changes in opinions, ratings or earnings estimates made by brokerage firms or industry analysts relating to the market in which we do business or relating to us specifically, as has occurred in the past;

 

  · quarterly variations in our results of operations;

 

  · general market conditions or market conditions specific to technology industries; and

 

  · domestic and international macroeconomic factors.

 

In addition, the stock market has recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations.  These fluctuations are often unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies.  As a result of the factors identified above, a stockholder (due to personal circumstances) may be required to sell his shares of our common stock at a time when our stock price is depressed due to random fluctuations, possibly based on factors beyond our control.

 

 Impracticability of Exhaustive Investigation.

 

The Company's limited funds and the lack of full-time management will likely make it impracticable to conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and analysis of its chosen business opportunity before the Company commits its capital or other resources thereto. Management decisions, therefore, will likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys and the like which, if the Company had more funds available to it, would be desirable.

 

Other Regulation.

 

The Company may be subject to regulation or licensing by federal, state, or local authorities. Compliance with such regulations and licensing can be expected to be a time-consuming, expensive process and may limit other investment opportunities of the Company.

 

Failure to Perform

 

The Company may be unable to comply with the payment terms of certain agreements providing the Company with the exclusive sales marketing and distribution rights to 5BARz™ product. In the event that the Company defaults on such agreements, the Company may be unable to maintain operations as a going concern.

 

Reliance on Third parties

 

The Company has entered into certain agreements related to the exclusive sales marketing and distribution rights. In the event that the production Company is unable or unwilling for any reason to supply product under the terms of such agreement, the Company may not be able distribute product or may have business interrupted as they secure alternative production facilities.

 

 

21


 
 

 

Competitive Technologies

 

The Companies technology relates to a market that is highly competitive and a much sought after solution by cellular networks. The Company expects to be at a disadvantage when competing with firms that have substantially greater financial and management resources and capabilities than the Company. The Company is subject to technological obsolescence should other technologies be developed which are superior to the Companies technology.

Prior to the Company’s investment in CelLynx, on July 19, 2010 certain claims for unpaid wages were filed against CelLynx, Inc. Judgments were obtained commencing in August 2011 for back wages by some of its former employees. Some of those claims have been partially paid and others were expected to be paid in the normal course of business or were to be otherwise defended. Those claims have now been incorporated into California Labor Commission awards in favor of those former employees. Those awards total approximately $263,000 depending on interest charges. It is the Company’s intention to pay these amounts. As of December 31, 2013 the Company accrued $263,000 in its financial statements.

On October 16, 2012, a complaint was filed in the federal court for the Northern District of California against 5BARz International Inc. and does 1 through 10, claiming breach of contract and seeking compensatory damages and alleged loss of profits of in excess of $2,500,000, based upon a $150,000 investment made by LA Jolla Cove Investors under certain putative agreements. La Jolla Cove Investors Inc. v. 5BARz International, Inc., 3:12-CV-5333 (N.D. Cal.). On January 3, 2013, the Company and La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. entered into an agreement for the settlement of the lawsuit for proceeds of $300,000 plus accrued interest from the date of the settlement agreement at a rate of 9%, plus the delivery of 125,000 shares of the common stock of the Company. On January 13, 2013 a stipulation dismissing action without prejudice and without award of attorney’s fees or costs was entered. On March 8, 2013 as a result not meeting the stipulated payment schedule, La Jolla Cove was awarded a judgment in the amount of $300,000 plus accrued interest at a rate of 9% from the date of the settlement agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued the 125,000 shares and made payments aggregating $220,000. Notes payable reflected in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2013 include $103,997 of unpaid principal and interest remaining outstanding on this claim.

 

On March 22, 2013 a complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau against 5BARz International Inc, Daniel Bland and James Vandeberg, by Asher Enterprises, Inc. claiming repayment of three Promissory notes in the principal amount of $81,000, penalties and interest. Asher Enterprises, Inc. vs. 5BARz International Inc.., Daniel Bland and James Vandeberg 13-003472(County of Nassau) The claims allege that damages in the amount of the greater of; (i) 200% x $81,000, the remaining outstanding principal amount of the Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest in the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, plus default interest; or (ii) the “parity value” of the “default amount” paid in shares as defined in the terms of the agreements. On October 15, 2013 the notes payable principal and interest were settled in full by payment of $70,805, and a Stipulation of Discontinuance was filed with the court with respect the above referenced action.

 

The Company’s subsidiary CelLynx Group, Inc. received a Cease Trading Order from the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) in 2012 alleging that the Company is in violation of the British Colombia reporting requirements. The BCSC has assumed that since two the Company's Directors are domiciled in BC that the company is controlled out of BC and therefore subject to its reporting requirements. The Company denies that premise and is appealing the issuance of the CTO. No Directors of the Company are currently resident in British Columbia.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations

 

You should read the following discussion together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this report.  The discussion in this report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions.  The cautionary statements made in this report should be read as applying to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this report.  Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed here.

 

 

Overview

 

5BARz International Inc. is the owner, developer and sales and marketing Company for a line of cellular network devices branded under the 5BARz™ . These highly engineered products are state of the art consumer electronics that manage cell signal within the proximity of the user providing much improved cellular clarity within the “last mile” of a cellular network.. The products are plug and play, without the need for extensive set up, and can be delivered as carrier agnostic or set to operate on a single carrier’s network. The first product brought to market is the 5BARz™ Road Warrior, a plug and play device designed for users on the go.

The Company unveiled a new version, the 5BARz™ Network Extender in February 2014 which represents a carrier grade cellular device to be used in the home or office, which is again a plug and play device with an operating radius of approximately 4,000 square feet. The Company is in the process of introducing these new units to cellular network operators globally with the intent of having those operators integrate the units into their portfolio of products for network improvement for their subscriber base.

The Company is engaged in the financing, product development and the sales and marketing activities required to launch this business globally.

The financial and business analysis below provides information we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. This financial and business analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in this form 10-K.

 

Going Concern

 

The registrant has an accumulated deficit through December 31, 2013 totaling $5,171,925 and recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. Because of these conditions, the registrant will require additional working capital to develop its business operations. The registrant's success will depend on its ability to raise money through debt and the sale of stock and the development and sale of product to meet its cash flow requirements. The ability to execute its strategic plan is contingent upon raising the necessary working capital to launch the global sales and marketing activities for the Company.

 

Management believes that the market sectors that it is in the process of developing in Latin America, sectors within Western Europe, and the USA will yield significant results in the current fiscal year. Further, the efforts that the Company has made to promote its business, by introducing the products to Cellular Network operators and having the products tested for technical efficacy, has positioned the Company for integration of the products through cellular network operators. Management is focused upon achieving that goal. If the Company’s capital raising efforts do not continue to be successful, the registrant's ability to continue as a going concern will be in question. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the registrant be unable to continue as a going concern.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

 

FASB, the Emerging Issues Task Force and the SEC have issued certain accounting standards, updates, and regulations as of December 31, 2013 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management does not believe that any of those updates would have significantly affected our financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during 2013 or 2012, and it does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements at the time they become effective.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.  

 

 

Intangible assets

 

Acquired  technology included patents, licensing rights and trademarks are capitalized at their acquisition cost or fair value. The legal costs, patent registration fees, and models and drawings required for filing patent applications are capitalized if they relate to commercially viable technologies. Commercially viable technologies are those technologies that are projected to generate future positive cash flows in the near term. Legal costs associated with applications that are not determined to be commercially viable are expensed as incurred. All research and development costs incurred in developing the patentable idea are expensed as incurred. Legal fees from the costs incurred in successful defense to the extent of an evident increase in the value of the patents are capitalized.

 

Capitalized costs for patents are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of each patent after the costs have been incurred. Once each patent or trademark is issued, capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period not to exceed 20 years and 10 years, respectively. All research and development costs incurred in developing the patentable idea are expensed as incurred. The licensing right is amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 10 years

 

Goodwill

 

Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States require the Company to perform a goodwill impairment test annually and more frequently when negative conditions or a triggering event arise. In September 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance that simplified how entities test goodwill for impairment. After an assessment of certain qualitative factors, if it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, entities must perform the quantitative analysis of the goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative test(s) become optional. As provided for under the amended guidance, the Company chose not to assess the qualitative factors of its reporting units and, instead, performed the quantitative tests.

 

 

Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets

 

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there was no significant impairment of its long-lived assets.

Accounting for Derivatives

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee’s requisite service period. Under ASC 718, the Company’s volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock or the expected volatility of similar companies. The expected life assumption is primarily based on historical exercise patterns and employee post-vesting termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of options. Option-pricing models require the input of highly complex and subjective variables including the expected life of options granted and the Company’s expected stock price volatility over a period equal to or greater than the expected life of the options. Because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated value of the Company’s employee stock options, it is management’s opinion that the Black-Scholes option-pricing model may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of the Company’s employee stock options. Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in accordance with ASC 718 using an option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/seller market transaction.

 

The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As at December 31, 2013

 

As at the year ended December 31, 2013, our current assets were $740,096 (2012 - $70,464) and our current liabilities were $2,032,689 (2012 - $3,491,285), which resulted in a working capital deficiency of $1,292,593 ( 2012 - $3,420,821). As at the year ended December 31, 2013, current liabilities were comprised of: (i) $1,098,248 in accounts payable and accrued expenses that arise from the acquisition of the Company’s subsidiary CelLynx Group, Inc. acquired in March 2012; and (ii) $351,919 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities arising from the operations of 5BARz International Inc. (iii) $410,183 of notes payable, of which $309,428 is principal and $100,755 is comprised of interest and penalties.

 

As at the year ended December 31, 2013, our total assets were $5,493,731 comprised of: (i) $740,096 in current assets; and (ii) $3,387,406 comprised of the 5BARz™ intellectual property (iii) $1,140,246 comprised of goodwill on the 60% investment in CelLynx Group, Inc., and (iii) $225,983 of equipment.

 

As at the year ended December 31, 2013, our total liabilities were $2,133,153 (2012 - $3,511,135) .

 

Stockholders’ equity increased from an equity balance of $1,091,387 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 to stockholders’ equity of $3,360,578 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

The Company is a development stage company and has not commenced planned principal operations. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses for the period from November 14, 2008 (date of inception) through December 31, 2013 of $5,158,370. The Company has negative cash flows from operations since inception of $3,601,301 and has an accumulated deficit of $5,173,598 at December 31, 2013. The Company has made no revenue to date. The Company is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, and there is no assurance these activities will be successful. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon adequate additional financing being raised to develop its sales and marketing program for the sales of 5BARz™ product and commence its planned operations.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2013 the Company has raised equity capital by way of Private Placements of $560,000 at prices of $0.15 per unit, completed January 1, 2014 to March 15, 2014. 

 

We anticipate that our operational and general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months will be substantial, but maintained in relation to our ability to raise capital. When sufficient financing is received, we will add additional management, engineering, and sales personnel. However, we do not intend to increase our staff until such time as we can raise the capital or generate revenues to support the additional costs. The allocation, purposes and timing of any monies raised in subsequent private financings may vary significantly depending upon the exact amount of funds raised and our progress with the execution of our business plan.

 

 

Limited Operating History

 

We have a limited operating history and consequently we cannot guarantee that the expansion efforts described in this report will be successful. Our business is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible rejection of our new products and/or sales methods.

Inventory

 

The Company carries inventory in the amount of $161,900 which is comprised of finished goods, delivered to a customer in Mexico City, Mexico in 2014.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We have not earned any revenue to date.

 

Going Concern

 

The independent auditors' report accompanying our financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared "assuming that we will continue as a going concern," which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

 

Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern.

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We do not have substantial operations at this time so they are not susceptible to these market risks.  If, however, they begin to generate substantial revenue, their operations will be materially impacted by interest rates and market prices.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of 5BARz International, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) (a development stage company) 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 and for the period from November 14, 2008 (date of inception) through December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

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 that 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 5BARz International, Inc. and Subsidiaries (a development stage company), as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from November 14, 2008 (date of inception) through December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company has had recurring operating losses since its inception and has historically been dependent on raising capital from external sources in order to fund its business. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 1 – Organization, Going Concern and Development Stage

 

 

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 14, 2008. The Company was originally named “Bio-Stuff” and was a designated shell corporation from inception to the date of acquisition of the 5BARz assets.

 

In 2010 the Company changed its name to 5BARz International, Inc. and the Company acquired a set of agreements for certain intellectual property underlying the 5BARz™ products, and marketing rights. The 5BARz products are highly engineered wireless units referred to as “cellular network infrastructure devices”. The 5BARz™ device captures cell signal and provides a smart amplification and resend of that cell signal giving the user improved cellular reception in their home, office or while mobile. Pursuant to the agreements referred to above, the Company was engaged as the exclusive agent for the global sales and marketing of the 5BARz™ products. On March 29, 2012, 5BARz International, Inc. acquired a 60% controlling interest in CelLynx Group, Inc. and a 60% interest in the intellectual property underlying the 5BARz™ products.

 

On November 6, 2011, the Company incorporated a subsidiary Company in Zurich, Switzerland called 5BARz AG which is a 94.3% held subsidiary at December 31, 2013. This entity has been granted the license for the marketing and distribution rights for 5BARz™ products in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. .

 

These financial statements reflect the financial position for the Company and its subsidiary companies 5BARz AG, CelLynx Group Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary CelLynx Inc. as at December 31, 2013. Results of operations for subsidiary Companies are reflected only from the date of acquisition of that subsidiary for the period indicated in the respective statement.  

 

Going concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is a development stage company and has not commenced planned principal operations. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses for the period from November 14, 2008 (date of inception) through December 31, 2013 of $5,158,370. The Company has negative cash flows from operations since inception of $3,601,301 and has an accumulated deficit of $5,173,598 at December 31, 2013. The Company has generated no revenues to date. The Company is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, and there is no assurance these activities will be successful. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon adequate additional financing being raised to develop its sales and marketing program for the sales of 5BARz™ product and commence its planned operations.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Development stage

 

The Company is considered to be a development stage entity as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915. The Company has been a development stage entity since November 14, 2008 its inception. The Company has not generated any revenue to date.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 5BARz International Inc., and its 94.3% owned subsidiary, 5BARz AG, and it’s 60% owned subsidiary CelLynx Group, Inc. and that Company’s 100% owned subsidiary CelLynx, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Cash

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of one year or less.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. Significant estimates include impairment analysis for long lived assets, income taxes, litigation and valuation of derivative instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentration of credit risk

 

Cash includes deposits in accounts maintained at financial institutions.  Certain financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash. The Company maintains balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits for the banks located in the United States. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any deposits in excess of federally-insured limits.  To date, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and Development costs are charged to expense as incurred. The costs of materials and equipment that are required or constructed for research and development activities, and have alternative future uses (either in research and development, marketing or production), are classified as property and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

 

Furniture & equipment

 

Furniture & equipment is recorded at historical cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.  The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the depreciation method and period are consistent with the anticipated pattern of future economic benefits. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations. The useful life of the equipment is being depreciated over three to seven years.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method.   As of December 31, 2013 the Company’s inventory included 1,000 units of Road Warrior cellular networks extenders.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

 

The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with the accounting guidance which requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. The Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment). Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of reporting units which includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment.

 

When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company may assess qualitative factors for some or all of its reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Alternatively, the Company may bypass this qualitative assessment for some or all of our reporting units and perform a detailed quantitative test of impairment (step 1). If the Company performs the detailed quantitative impairment test and the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company would perform an analysis (step 2) to measure such impairment. In 2013, the Company first performed a qualitative assessment to identify and evaluate events and circumstances to conclude whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on the Company’s qualitative assessments, the Company concluded that a positive assertion can be made from the qualitative assessment that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In accordance with the Codification, the Company reviews the carrying value of its intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows of such assets are less than the carrying amount, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, if any, exceeds its fair market value. No impairment was deemed to exist as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

Long-Lived Assets Subject to Amortization

 

The Company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives over their estimated useful lives and reviews them for impairment annually or whenever an impairment exists. The Company continually evaluates whether events or changes in circumstances might indicate that the remaining estimated useful life of long-lived assets may warrant revision, or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows in measuring whether the long-lived asset should be written down to fair value. Measurement of the amount of impairment would be based on generally accepted valuation methodologies, as deemed appropriate. There were no long-lived assets impairment charges recorded during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

  

Revenue recognition

 

The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.”  Revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers, and when the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

Transactions in foreign currencies have been translated into US dollars using the temporal method. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary 5BARz AG, is its local currency (Swiss Franc – CHF). Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary assets have been translated at the historical rate of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction. Expenses have been translated at the exchange rate at the time of the transaction. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are included in operations.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

  Level 2. Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

  Level 3. Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data.

The assets or liability’s fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table provides a summary of the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

    Consolidated
Balance Sheet
  Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets or Liabilities
(Level 1)
  Quoted Prices for Similar Assets or Liabilities in Active Markets

December 31, 2012   $ —       $ —       $ —       $ —    

 

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

   December 31, 2013  December 31, 2012
Beginning balance  $—     $—   
Aggregate fair value of conversion feature upon issuance   57,995    469,332 
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities   2,023    (469,332)
Ending balance  $60,018   $—   

  

The derivative conversion feature liabilities are measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes pricing model and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The significant assumptions and valuation methods that the Company used to determine fair value and the change in fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are provided below:

 

   December 31, 2013  December 31, 2012
Stock price  $0.25   $0.05 
Volatility   211%   240%

Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the derivate liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, which reports to the Chief Financial Officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department with support from the Company’s consultants and which are approved by the Chief Financial Officer.

 

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value Level 3 financial liabilities at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as, volatility.

 

As of December 31, 2013 there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee’s requisite service period. Under ASC 718, the Company’s volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock or the expected volatility of similar companies. The expected life assumption is primarily based on historical exercise patterns and employee post-vesting termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of options. Option-pricing models require the input of highly complex and subjective variables including the expected life of options granted and the Company’s expected stock price volatility over a period equal to or greater than the expected life of the options. Because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated value of the Company’s employee stock options, it is management’s opinion that the Black-Scholes option-pricing model may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of the Company’s employee stock options. Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in accordance with ASC 718 using an option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/seller market transaction.

 

The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees.

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. 

 

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company is open for examination for the years 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred.  No significant penalties or interest relating to income taxes have been incurred during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

Net loss per share

 

The Company reports loss per share in accordance with the ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.”, which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.  In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus the issuance of common shares, if dilutive, that could result from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants. These potentially dilutive securities of 49,855,171 and 8,540,000, respectively were not included in the calculation of loss per common share for the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012 because their effect would be anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of shares outstanding does not include reciprocal shareholdings, held by the Company’s subsidiary, CelLynx Group, Inc. which is reflected as a reduction in capital in excess of par value on the Company’s balance sheet.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment."  This ASU simplifies how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment which improve consistency in impairment testing requirements among long-lived asset categories. These amended standards permit an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. For assets in which this assessment concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value is more than its carrying value, these amended standards eliminate the requirement to perform quantitative impairment testing as outlined in the previously issued standards. The guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”).  The amendment requires disclosure of information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, disclosure is required, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The new requirements are effective for public companies in interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 as of January 1, 2013 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this ASU state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard and it is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

FASB, the Emerging Issues Task Force and the SEC have issued certain other accounting standards, updates, and regulations as of December 31, 2013 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management does not believe that any of those updates would have significantly affected our financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during 2013 or 2012, and it does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements at the time they become effective.

Note 6 - Income taxes (continued)

 

The Company’s deferred tax assets (liabilities) consisted of the effects of  temporary differences attributable to the following: 

 

   December 31, 2013  December 31, 2012
Deferred tax assets      
Net operating loss carryovers  $2,077,660   $1,261,422 
           
R&D credit   66,017    0 
Accrued compensation   202,375    167,355 
Stock-based compensation   2,833    2,833 
Total deferred tax assets   2,348,886    1,431,610 
Valuation allowance   (2,163,259)   (1,334,310)
Deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance   185,627    97,300 
           
Deferred tax liabilities          
Fixed asset depreciation   (14,024)   (170)
Intangible asset amortization   (171,602)   (97,130)
Total deferred tax liabilities   (185,627)   (97,300)
Net deferred tax asset (liability)  $0   $0 

 

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $5,075,000 and $2,950,000 of U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryovers (“NOL’s”), respectively, to offset future taxable income. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $3,375,000 and $1,159,000 of U.S. federal and state NOL’s, respectively, to offset future taxable income. The U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryovers begin expiring in 2025. In accordance with section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, deductibility of the Company’s U.S. net operating loss carryovers may be subject to an annual limitation in the event of a change of control. Management has performed a preliminary evaluation as to whether a change in control has taken place, and has concluded that there was a change of control with respect to the NOL’s of CelLynx Group, Inc. when the Company acquired its 60% ownership interest in March 2012.

  

Therefore, the NOL’s of CelLynx Group Inc. will be subject to an annual limitation of approximately $8,700 as determined under the regulations. Due to the annual limitation, management has determined that $8,600,000 of the NOL’s of CelLynx Group, Inc. will expire unused and has reduced the related deferred tax asset accordingly.

 

The Company has not filed its tax return for the tax years 2011 (CelLynx), 2012 and 2013. The net operating losses and tax credit from those years will not be available until the Company files the tax returns.

 

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, Management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance for all periods. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the change in the valuation allowance was $828,949 and $1,334,310, respectively.

Note 6 - Income taxes (continued)

 

The Company evaluated the provisions of ASC 740 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, present, and disclose uncertain positions that the company has taken or expects to take in its tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as "unrecognized benefits." A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise's potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740.

Interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated (if applicable) and would be classified as "Interest expense, net" in the statements of operation. Penalties would be recognized as a component of "General and administrative expenses."

 

No interest or penalties were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.

 

The Company files U.S. federal and state income tax returns. These tax returns are subject to examination by tax authorities for years beginning in December 31, 2009.  5BARz AG files foreign tax returns in Switzerland. These tax returns are subject to examination by tax authorities for years beginning in 2011.

 

Foreign earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested; accordingly, no provision for US federal and state income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon repatriation of earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both US income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred US income tax liability is not practicable due to recurring losses; however, unrecognized foreign tax credit carryforwards would be available to reduce some portion of the US liability.

Note 8 - Asset acquisition agreement:

 

On December 31, 2010, the Company entered into three agreements as follows;

(i)                 An “Amended and Restated Master Global Marketing and Distribution Agreement.”

(ii)               An asset purchase agreement

(iii)             A line of credit agreement and security agreement

These agreements with CelLynx Group, Inc. provide for the exclusive global marketing and distribution of the 5BARz™ line of products and related accessories and a 50% ownership interest in the 5BARz™ intellectual property. In addition, a revolving line of credit facility has been made available to CelLynx.

On March 29, 2012, the Company and CelLynx Group Inc. entered into an agreement which provided several amendments to the agreement referred to above. As a result of those amendments, the following arrangements between the Companies were established;

    i.            5BARz International, Inc. acquired a 60% interest in the patents and trademarks held by CelLynx Group Inc., referred to as the “5BARz™” technology. That interest in the technology was acquired for proceeds comprised of 9,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, valued at the date of acquisition at $0.20 per share or $1,800,000 USD. The acquisition agreement also clarified that the ownership interest in the intellectual property does represent that proportionate interest in income earned from the intellectual property.

 

    ii.            The Company agreed to make available to CelLynx Group, Inc a revolving line of credit facility in the amount of $2.2 million dollars of which $730,879 has been advanced as of December 31, 2012. This revolving line of credit facility expires on October 5, 2013. Under the terms of the line of credit facility, the Company has the right to convert amounts due under the facility into common stock of CelLynx, at a conversion rate which is the lesser of a fixed conversion rate of $0.00015 per share or a variable rate which is calculated at 25% of the average lowest three closing bid prices of the CelLynx Group, Inc. common stock for a period which is ten (10) days prior to the date of conversion. This conversion rate was established previously by other parties that have funded CelLynx, and is being matched by 5BARz. At December 31, 2012, the Company had converted $139,200 of the amount due under the revolving line of credit facility for 854,745,971 shares of the capital stock of CelLynx Group, Inc. CelLynx is a consolidated subsidiary of 5BARz International Inc., since March 29, 2012.

Note 15 - Litigation

 

Prior to the Company’s investment in CelLynx, on July 19, 2010 certain claims for unpaid wages were filed against CelLynx, Inc. Judgements were obtained commencing in August 2011 for back wages by some of its former employees. Some of those claims have been partially paid and others were expected to be paid in the normal course of business or were to be otherwise defended. Those claims have now been incorporated into California Labor Commission awards in favor of those former employees. Those awards total approximately $263,000 depending on interest charges. It is the Company’s intention to pay these amounts.  As of December 31, 2013 the Company accrued $263,000 in its financial statements.

 

On October 16, 2012, a complaint was filed in the federal court for the Northern District of California against 5BARz International Inc. and does 1 through 10, claiming breach of contract and seeking compensatory damages and alleged loss of profits of in excess of $2,500,000, based upon a $150,000 investment made by LA Jolla Cove Investors under certain putative agreements. La Jolla Cove Investors Inc. v. 5BARz International, Inc., 3:12-CV-5333 (N.D. Cal.). On January 3, 2013, the Company and La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. entered into an agreement for the settlement of the lawsuit for proceeds of $300,000 plus accrued interest from the date of the settlement agreement at a rate of 9%, plus the delivery of 125,000 shares of the common stock of the Company. On January 13, 2013 a stipulation dismissing action without prejudice and without award of attorney’s fees or costs was entered. On March 8, 2013 as a result not meeting the stipulated payment schedule, La Jolla Cove was awarded a judgment in the amount of $300,000 plus accrued interest at a rate of 9% from the date of the settlement agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued the 125,000 shares and made payments aggregating $220,000. Notes payable reflected in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2013 include $103,997 of unpaid principal and interest remaining outstanding on this claim.

Note 15 – Litigation (Continued)

 

On March 22, 2013 a complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau against 5BARz International Inc, Daniel Bland and James Vandeberg, by Asher Enterprises, Inc. claiming repayment of three Promissory notes in the principal amount of $81,000, penalties and interest. Asher Enterprises, Inc. vs. 5BARz International Inc.., Daniel Bland and James Vandeberg 13-003472(County of Nassau) The claims allege that damages in the amount of the greater of; (i) 200% x $81,000, the remaining outstanding principal amount of the Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest in the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, plus default interest; or (ii) the “parity value” of the “default amount” paid in shares as defined in the terms of the agreements. On October 15, 2013 the notes payable principal and interest were settled in full by payment of $70,805, and a Stipulation of Discontinuance was filed with the court with respect the above referenced action.

 

The Company’s subsidiary CelLynx Group, Inc. has received a Cease Trading Order from the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) in 2012 alleging that the Company is in violation of the British Colombia reporting requirements. The BCSC has assumed that since two the Company's Directors are domiciled in BC that the company is controlled out of BC and therefore subject to its reporting requirements. The Company denies that premise and is appealing the issuance of the CTO.  No directors of the Company are currently resident in British Columbia.

 

In addition to the above, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance.

Not Applicable

 

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of December 31, 2013. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, including this Annual Report on Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that our disclosure and controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls also is based in part on certain assumptions regarding the likelihood of certain events, and there can no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Given these and other inherent limitations of control systems, these are only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with United State’s generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP), including those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  Based on this assessment, Management concluded the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

 

An internal control material weakness is a significant deficiency, or aggregation of deficiencies, that does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that material misstatements in financial statements will be prevented or detected on a timely basis by employees in the normal course of their work. An internal control significant deficiency, or aggregation of deficiencies, is one that could result in a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than consequential.

 

37


 
 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, and this assessment identified the following material weaknesses in the company’s internal control over financial reporting:

 

o   A system of internal controls (including policies and procedures) has neither been designed nor implemented.

 

o   A formal, internal accounting system has not been implemented.

 

o   Segregation of duties in the handling of cash, cash receipts, and cash disbursements is not formalized.

 

Therefore, we have relied heavily on entity or management review controls to lessen the issue of segregation of duties.

 

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 our 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.

Asset Purchase Agreement from Related Party;

 

On December 30, 2010, the Registrant, 5BARz International Inc., a Nevada corporation, (“5BARz”), acquired, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement from Dollardex Group Corp., a Panamanian Corporation controlled by Mr. Daniel Bland, the President and CEO of the Registrant, all right title and  interest in an “Amended and Restated Master Global Marketing and Distribution Agreement”, an “Asset Purchase Agreement”, a “Line of Credit Agreement” and a “Security Agreement”, collectively referred to as “The Agreements”.  The Agreements, as restated, had originally been entered into between CelLynx Group, Inc., a Nevada Corporation and Dollardex Group Corp., a Panamanian Corporation, on October 5, 2010, and were amended on March 29, 2012.    The Agreements relate principally to the development of the sales and marketing of the 5BARz™ line of products and related accessories by 5BARz International Inc

 

DESCRIPTION OF ASSETS INVOLVED

 

Collectively, the agreements referred to above provide to 5BARz International Inc., the business opportunity to commercialize a state of the art technology developed by CelLynx related to the manufacture and sale of ‘cellular network extenders” as well as a 60% interest in the patent applications, and legal equivalents thereto owned by CelLynx.  It is these agreements that represent the asset acquired by 5BARz International Inc.

 

DESCRIPTION OF PARTIES FROM WHOM THE ASSETS WERE ACQUIRED

  

The Assets have been acquired by 5BARz International Inc. from Dollardex Group Corp.  Both Companies, 5BARz and Dollardex, are controlled by the President and CEO of  both Companies, Mr. Daniel Bland.

 

NATURE AND AMOUNT OF CONSIDERATION PAID FOR THE ASSETS

 

The consideration paid for the assignment of the assets is comprised of a note payable in the amount of $370,000 USD payable to Dollardex Group Corp., along with interest charged at a rate of 5% per annum and payable at any time at the sole discretion of 5BARz.  In addition, 5BARz issued 15,600,000 shares of the common stock of 5BARz International Inc. to Dollardex Group Corp., representing 17.8% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Registrant at the time of issue.  

 

Director Independence

 

Quotations for our common stock are entered on the OTCBB inter-dealer quotation system, which does not have director independence requirements. For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15).  Under NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15), a director is not considered to be independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation.  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, Mr. Bland acted as our director and as our executive officer.  As such, we do not have any independent directors.

 

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:

 

-approved by our audit committee; or

 

-entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular  service,  the  audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee's responsibilities to management.

 

We do not have an audit committee.  Our entire board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors.
