Business.
Overview
PayMeOn, Inc. (formerly MMAX Media, Inc.), a Nevada corporation, is a company organized on May 30, 2006, that owns and operates products aimed at the social, local and mobile marketing industry. We develop and market products that provide merchants, service providers and consumers with mobile marketing services and offers, including but not limited to, mobile coupons, mobile business cards, mobile websites, use of SMS short codes and contest management. Our PayMeOn, products offer customers the ability to earn social income® through the purchase and referral of products and services through mobile and web interfaces.
Historically, we have offered mobile marketing platform services to merchants under the Hyperlocal name. The Hyperlocal platform supports multiple text messaging services such as WAP, MMS and XHTML, which run on a commercial grade mobile marketing platform and operates with all major mobile carriers, including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. The fully-integrated interface allows for web-based monitoring of customers. It provides access to real-time statistics for each customers account, including but not limited to incoming and outgoing messages, number of keywords, credits and account status.
In early 2012, we incorporated the Hyperlocal platform into a new product offering called the PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center. The PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center is aimed at small and medium sized businesses and incorporates the purchase, referral and coupon style daily deal components of our consumer based PayMeOn product, as well as all of the mobile marketing components of the Hyperlocal Platform.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013, totaled $10,025. From inception through December 31, 2012, we had revenues of $94,863. At December 31, 2013, we had a cash balance of approximately $3,000, a working capital deficit of approximately $1,284,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $5,900,000. Additional losses have occurred as a result of the substantial resources required for research and development and marketing of our products which included the general and administrative expenses associated with organization and product development. We expect operating losses to continue, mainly due to the anticipated expenses associated with the marketing of our products. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
History
On March 16, 2011 we completed an agreement and plan of merger to acquire Hyperlocal Marketing, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (Hyperlocal), pursuant to which Hyperlocal merged with and into HLM Paymeon, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of PayMeOn. Hyperlocal was a development stage Florida company, organized on January 22, 2010. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Hyperlocal members received approximately 50.1% of the total shares of PayMeOn issued and outstanding following the merger on a fully diluted basis. In accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-45-15, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization and Hyperlocal is considered the accounting acquirer and PayMeOn is considered the accounting acquiree.
Organization
PayMeOn holds a wholly owned interest in HLM Paymeon, Inc., a Florida corporation. There is currently a limited public market for our common stock which is quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol PAYM. Our executive offices are located at 2400 East Commercial Boulevard, Suite 612, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33308. Our telephone number is (800) 991-4534. We own and operate several websites, including www.paymeon.com. The information which appears on these websites is not part of this report.
Marketing Opportunity
Hyperlocal was created to address the opportunities developing in the Hyperlocal market. The Hyperlocal market is also known as, the location-based market, the proximity market, and the mobile advertising market. The opportunity revolves around new methods of reaching customers in context wherever they might be, whenever they might be there, based on the ubiquitous penetration of mobile devices.
As reported by the CTIA Wireless Association in 2010, mobile device penetration (mobile phones, feature phones and smart phones) is over 90% in the United States, with smart phones (iphones, droid phones, etc) currently representing just over 20% of all devices (as reported by Comscore Datagem) but growing the fastest.
1
This penetration indicates that most young people and adults have a mobile device with them at all times and would be potential customers for products and services being developed in this market. We believe that we can capitalize by being an early provider of these products and services to merchants and provide customers with opportunities to receive income for referring coupons. Four out of five teens carry a wireless device, and the majority (57%) view their cell phone as the key to their social life (Source: CTIA Wireless Association). We believe that merchants can build brand awareness, increase sales, or reward loyalty by adopting mobile marketing strategies that tap the mobile phones power of immediacy.
As is typical in fast-growing new marketing segments, lots of different companies that provide lots of different products and services have been incorporated. This has resulted in a highly fragmented situation with few large players and lots of unbranded small players with a vast array of products and services. Some of the offerings in the Hyperlocal market today include:
text platforms |
| short code sales |
| short code development |
premium keyword sales |
| mobile websites |
| mobile coupons |
mobile banner advertising |
| mobile lead generation |
| application development |
application marketing |
|
|
|
|
We believe the Hyperlocal market is highly important to the future of large media businesses as more and more of consumer Internet time spent moves to mobile devices and to location based applications.
Description of Products and Services
We are developing and offering a full suite of mobile marketing platform services to businesses. All our products and services fall broadly into the mobile marketing category; however, we currently market our business in two parts: (1) PayMeOn products and services directed mainly at consumers; and (2) the PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center, directed mainly at small and medium sized businesses.
PayMeOn
PayMeOn consumers are able to browse products and services, and most importantly, share them in exchange for cash payments from the web and from our PayMeOn mobile application. PayMeOn operates in the social income® space. Social income® is a registered trademark of PayMeOn. We define social income® as income or benefits derived from referring or recommending products or services to people in your network(s). The fundamental driver of the PayMeOn product is the opportunity for users to earn money through their referrals. Many products and services are sold over the Internet today through recommendations or referrals. Social networks have allowed users to connect seamlessly and have become powerful platforms for friends to connect, share, and recommend products that are imbedded in the networking experience. We believe that users should be paid for their successful referrals. We call these payments social income®. We believe that the ubiquitous adoption of mobile phones has created portable and real time social networks that can be monetized.
We believe the success of PayMeOn will depend on (1) the quality and availability of products and service providers in many markets, and (2) the quantity of users of PayMeOns products.
We intend on growing our customer base by leading with the application. That is, marketing primarily aimed at attracting users to our mobile application. We believe this will be a powerful approach, as these users will be driven more by their desire to earn money (social income) more than anything else. This will lead them to utilize the PayMeOn mobile application when referring or recommending products and services.
Finally, PayMeOn has integrated its offerings with the Hyperlocal Marketing Platform to provide merchants with mobile marketing and advertising services. PayMeOn offers different packages that offer merchants full access and use of the mobile marketing platform, as well as the ability to offer daily deals and other marketing services.
The PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center
PayMeOn has integrated its offerings with the Hyperlocal Marketing Platform to create the PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center. The PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center platform is designed to provide local merchants with a mobile and web based marketing platform that allows merchants to distribute coupons or daily deals, capture and retain customers, and earn money from their customers whenever they purchase from the PayMeOn network. The product is marketed to merchants under various free and paid packages. Packages are distinguished by different distribution opportunities and volume of text messages available.
2
Distribution of coupons or daily deals
Customers of the PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center are able to market coupons or daily deals at http://www.paymeon.com or to their own customers directly via email as often as daily(depending on the plan they select), and retain up to 90% of the proceeds. Unlike most companies in the daily deal space, PayMeOn is able to allow merchants to retain nearly all the proceeds from their sales of coupons or daily deals on the PayMeOn network.
Capture and retention of customers
Use of the mobile marketing module of the PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center allows merchants to acquire and retain customer mobile phone numbers and merchants are able to market via text to customers from the platform in the future. Keyword driven accounts are created for merchants on the mobile module of the PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center. Keywords are descriptive words created for the merchant in the system that are marketed at the point of sale or in print or online advertising to customers. For example, a customer might enter a restaurant called Stephs. When the customer enters the restaurant, they see a sign that reads, to join our VIP club, text stephs <space> your email address to 41513. When the customer texts the keyword (stephs) and his/her email into the system, he/she is opting in to that merchants account on the mobile marketing module of the PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center and also being anchored to the merchants profit center account at PayMeOn.
The platform also provides the merchant with various other capabilities, including the ability to run contests for members, create mobile websites and other useful applications.
The PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center is marketed primarily to small and medium sized businesses in various categories, including but not limited to restaurants, automotive supply and repair shops, spas, specialty retail and medical offices. Merchants use the platform in a variety of ways by marketing keywords that drive consumer interest:
·
Mobile coupons
·
Calls to action (text “MMAX” to 41513 to view a working demonstration)
·
Brand engagement (voting, contests, polling)
·
Geotargeted ads (travel, rental cars)
·
Send alerts, sales related notifications
·
Appointment reminders
·
Audience interactions (concerts, conferences, airports)
Generating revenue from customers from purchases on the PayMeOn network
When customers text in keywords and email addresses to PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center accounts, they are anchored or connected to the merchants account at PayMeOn. Merchants earn anchor payments for anything purchased by their anchored customers anywhere on the PayMeOn network.
The PayMeOn Ride Along Product
Using the platform we acquired from WCIS Media, LLC during 2013 as a starting point, we spent additional resources on development of a new mobile and web-based product meant to allow consumers that use it to create social income in real-time by monetizing their person to person or p2p referrals and recommendations. We completed the first version of our mobile application for use on iPhones during 2013 and it is currently available in the Apple app store. We have shifted the primary focus of the Company to the product, which we refer to as the ride along product. The ride along product allows users to earn social income by capturing previously unmonetized purchasing influence they have by way of referrals and recommendations made to their social networks. When recommending products or services to their social networks, users can allow additional PayMeOn recommendations to ride along with their personal recommendations in exchange for social income. PayMeOn is compensated by the providers that ride along with user recommendations. We believe the market opportunity is substantial as PayMeOn providers are presented in context along with users personal recommendations and referrals, similar to the cost per click search model. For example, a PayMeOn user may be asked to recommend a service provider such as a plumber by a member of her social network. The PayMeOn user can access the PayMeOn mobile application and allow plumbers listed in PayMeOns directory to ride along with her personal recommendation and earn social income. PayMeOn only allows service providers that are rated by third parties to be included in its directory. Ride along recommendations are clearly marked as sponsored. We believe the product is substantially unique and are in the process of preparing application for intellectual property protection.

Competition
The location based marketing industry is a new, fragmented and competitive industry. Furthermore, the marketing industry in general is a large and competitive industry. In the United States and throughout the world, the marketing industry has a diverse set of channels, including direct mail, tele-marketing, television, radio, newspaper, magazines and the recently developed mobile and web-based markets. The list of market leaders fluctuates constantly. Many competitors are large and have significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than our company.
Intellectual Property
As mentioned above, the term social income® is a registered trademark of PayMeOn, Inc. We have not applied for any other U.S. trademarks and, except for common law rights, we currently do not hold any other intellectual property rights on the products we have developed. Among many other related domain names, we have secured the following domain names: paymeon.com; paymeon.net; paymeon.tv; paymeon.org; paymeon.biz; paymeon.mobi; paymeon.co; paymeon.tel; paymeon.us; hyperloc.com; Hyperlocalmarketing.net; Hlmllc.com; and Hlmllc.net.

Item 3.
Legal Proceedings.
On June 18, 2012, the Company received a letter from the Internal Revenue Service regarding a tax discrepancy for the tax year 2010 (prior to the agreement and plan of merger to acquire Hyperlocal Marketing, LLC). The letter states that the discrepancy could result in a potential increase of Social Security and/or Income Tax of $7,623. As part of the agreement and plan of merger to acquire Hyperlocal Marketing, LLC, the Company received representations and warranties from prior management that all taxes had been paid. The letter has been forwarded to prior management and the Internal Revenue Service has been informed of all relevant representations and warranties. There is no guarantee that prior management will honor its obligations and this amount may remain an obligation of the Company. As of March 31, 2014, prior management has not honored its legal obligations to pay this debt. On March 18, 2013, the Company received an updated letter from the Internal Revenue Service notifying us that the amount of the tax discrepancy for the tax year 2010 could result in a potential increase of Social Security and/or Income Tax of $9,745, including penalties and interest. In the interest of protecting the Company and resolving this matter, current management entered into a repayment plan with the Internal Revenue Service that allows for the Company to repay the amount over time at a rate of $500 per month. The Company intends to pursue its legal rights against prior management for repayment of this debt plus any legal costs incurred in conjunction with enforcing its rights.

On March 31, 2014, the Company received a Notice of Default letter from legal counsel representing the California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS) (the landlord for the Companys office space) alerting that the Company was in default of its lease for failure to pay monthly rent for the office space located at 2400 East Commercial Boulevard, Suite 612, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33308. The letter demanded immediate payment of $41, 937.49 for rent past due rent due as of April 1, 2014. As of April 9, 2014, the Company has not been able to pay its outstanding rent obligation. The landlord currently holds security deposits from the Company in the amount of $31,407. The Company has indicated in writing its intention to cooperate with the landlord while trying to resolve the matter. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to reach a resolution to this issue. Accordingly, the landlord may file suit to protect its rights under the lease agreement. As noted in this report, the Company is currently attempting to raise additional capital to address the default, as well its other outstanding obligations and working capital requirements.
We are not currently subject to any other legal proceedings.

Business Overview
During 2013 we spent significant resources on development of a new mobile and web-based product meant to allow consumers that use it to create social income in real-time by monetizing their person to person or p2p referrals and recommendations. We completed the first version of our mobile application for use on iPhones during 2013 and it is currently available in the Apple app store. We have shifted the primary focus of the Company to the product, which we refer to as the ride along product. The ride along product allows users to earn social income by capturing previously unmonetized purchasing influence they have by way of referrals and recommendations made to their social networks. When recommending products or services to their social networks, users can allow additional PayMeOn recommendations to ride along with their personal recommendations in exchange for social income. PayMeOn is compensated by the providers that ride along with user recommendations. We believe the market opportunity is substantial as PayMeOn providers are presented in context along with users personal recommendations and referrals, similar to the cost per click search model. For example, a PayMeOn user may be asked to recommend a service provider such as a plumber by a member of her social network. The PayMeOn user can access the PayMeOn mobile application and allow plumbers listed in PayMeOns directory to ride along with her personal recommendation and earn social income. PayMeOn only allows service providers that are rated by third parties to be included in its directory. Ride along recommendations are clearly marked as sponsored. We believe the product is substantially unique and are in the process of preparing application for intellectual property protection.
While we completed the initial development of the ride along product, we have lacked the funds to begin aggressively marketing it to both service providers and the general public. The products success will depend on our ability to properly market the product to both and the credibility of the product will depend in large part on our ability to users any social income they earn. Accordingly, without additional funds, we cannot take the product to market. The current version in the Apple app store does not allow for ride alongs to be included because without additional funds we will not be able to pay any earned social income.
If we are able to obtain the necessary funds, we will continue to market the products described below in conjunction with our ride along product, including all our products aimed at the location-based marketing industry that include mobile marketing services and offers, including but not limited to, mobile coupons, mobile business cards, mobile websites, use of SMS short codes and contest management.
Since inception, we have incurred net operating losses. Losses have principally occurred as a result of the substantial resources required for research and development and marketing of our products which included the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development. We expect operating losses to continue, mainly due to the anticipated expenses associated with the marketing of all our products.
All PayMeOn, products are designed to offer customers social income potential through purchases and referrals of products and services through its mobile and web interfaces. The PayMeOn product will pay customers that refer products and servicesa payout amounts (social income) for successful referrals (referrals that result in a purchase). Payout amounts come from our monetary share of the products and services being offered by our merchant and service provider partners on the PayMeOn platform. Offering payout amounts on our deals cause PayMeOn to have an additional expense that our competitors do not have. We manage this competitive disadvantage by striving to keep our overhead costs low. While our competitors invest in large numbers of employees dedicated to securing deals to offer their customers, PayMeOn has chosen to allow its partner merchants and service providers to market their own deals on products and services that they feel best meet their marketing goals. We believe that we will be able to offer competitive payout amounts because of our low internal overhead and because we believe that the cash incentive will result in higher referral and recommendation rates among our customers. We believe that PayMeOn marketed products and services will be referred and recommended often because of the potential for cash earnings for members that share them.

Our Hyperlocal Platform also supports multiple text messaging services such as WAP, MMS and XHTML, runs on a commercial grade mobile marketing platform used by the National Football League, Major League Baseball and others and operates with all major mobile carriers, including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. The fully-integrated interface allows for web-based monitoring of customers. It provides access to real-time statistics for each customers account, including incoming and outgoing messages, number of keywords, credits, account status and more.
We have recently integrated our PayMeOn offerings with the Hyperlocal Marketing Platform to create the PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center. The PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center platform is designed to provide local merchants with a mobile and web based marketing platform that allows merchants to distribute coupons or daily deals, capture and retain customers, and earn money from their customers whenever they purchase from the PayMeOn network. The product is free or sold on a package basis. Packages are distinguished by different distribution opportunities and volume of text messages available.
Distribution of coupons or daily deals
Customers of the PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center are able to market coupons or daily deals at http://www.paymeon.com as often as they like (depending on the plan they select), and retain up to 90% of the proceeds. Unlike most companies in the daily deal space, PayMeOn is able to allow merchants to retain nearly all the proceeds from sales of their coupons or daily deals on its network.
Capture and retention of customers
Use of the mobile marketing module of the PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center allows merchants to acquire and retain customer mobile phone numbers and merchants are able to market via text to customers from the platform in the future. Keyword driven accounts are created for merchants on the mobile module of the PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center Keywords are descriptive words created for the merchant in the system that are marketed at the point of sale or in print or online advertising to customers. For example, a customer might enter a restaurant called Stephs. When the customer enters the restaurant, they see a sign that reads, to join our VIP club, text stephs <space> your email address to 41513. When the customer texts the keyword (stephs) and his/her email into the system, he/she is opting in to that merchants account on the mobile marketing module of the PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center and also being anchored to the merchants profit center account at PayMeOn.
The platform also provides the merchant with various other capabilities, including the ability to run contests for members, create mobile websites and other useful applications.
The PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center is marketed primarily to small and medium sized businesses in various categories, including but not limited to restaurants, automotive supply and repair shops, spas, specialty retail and medical offices. Merchants use the platform in a variety of ways by marketing keywords that drive consumer interest:
·
Mobile coupons
·
Calls to action (text “MMAX” to 41513 to view a working demonstration)
·
Brand engagement (voting, contests, polling)
·
Geotargeted ads (travel, rental cars)
·
Send alerts, sales related notifications
·
Appointment reminders
·
Audience interactions (concerts, conferences, airports)
Generating revenue from customers from purchases on the PayMeOn network
When customers text in keywords and email addresses to PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center accounts, they are anchored or connected to the merchants account at PayMeOn. Merchants earn anchor payments for anything purchased by their anchored customers anywhere on the PayMeOn network.

Licensing model
PayMeOn is also experimenting with developing a licensing revenue model. During September, 2012, the Company entered into preliminary negotiations surrounding a licensing agreement with Destination Meals LLC. Our CEO, Edward Cespedes, is a minority owner of Destination Meals LLC through the Edward A. Cespedes Revocable Trust dated August 22, 2007. The discussion points revolve around Destination Meals LLC licensing certain software from PayMeOn in exchange for per transaction payments to PayMeOn. Though a final agreement has not yet been signed, the Parties have tentatively agreed to terms and are currently conducting testing and engaging in limited sales transactions. We believe that the economic terms of the agreement will be at least equal to or better than PayMeOn would receive if the agreement were negotiated with unrelated third parties.
Results of Operations
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013, totaled $10,025 and were principally derived from sales of incremental text purchases from subscribers to the mobile text marketing packages. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012, were $32,907 and were principally derived from sales of the Companys PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center packages to small businesses and from incremental text purchases from subscribers to the mobile text marketing packages.
Operating expenses for year ended December 31, 2013, totaled $1,875,750, an increase of $332,875 or 21.5% from $1,542,875 for the year ended December 31, 2012. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013, were largely made up of a $521,009 non cash expense related to impairment on technology we acquired from WCIS Media LLC in April 2013 and website development, $586,674 of payroll and payroll taxes, and $627,731 of consulting, development and professional fees Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012, were largely made up of an $815,152 non-cash expense primarily related to the issuance of warrants issued to certain consultants and service providers in consideration of marketing, business and general consulting services and payroll and payroll taxes of $439,766.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2013, we had $3,061 of cash. At December 31, 2013 we had working a capital deficit of $1,284,069 and an accumulated deficit of $5,909,470. We require additional working capital. See Plan of Operations below.
Since inception, the Company has incurred net operating losses and used cash in operations. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $5,909,470. The Company has also dedicated substantial resources required to research and development and marketing of the Companys products which included the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development. The Company expects to incur continued marketing expenses in the near and medium term in pursuit of market share. Necessary marketing spending could curtail the Companys ability to generate profits in the near and medium term. We expect operating losses to continue, mainly due to the continued costs and expenses associated with development of our business and marketing of the Hyperlocal and PayMeOn products. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
We have historically satisfied our working capital requirements through the sale of restricted common stock and the issuance of promissory notes. From January 2012 through May 2012 the Company issued a series of secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $155,000 (the January Secured Notes). The January Secured Notes were secured by all of the assets of the Company. On December 27, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to issue a secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $165,500 to an affiliate of the Company. The secured convertible note bears interest at an annual rate of 7% and is payable on or before 12 months from the date of issuance. The secured convertible note is secured by all of the assets of the Company and includes customary provisions concerning events of default. In addition, the secured convertible note may be converted at any time, at the option of the holder, into shares of the Companys common stock at a conversion price of $0.345 per share, subject to adjustment. The Company received $165,500 in gross proceeds from the issuance of the secured convertible note and used substantially all of the proceeds from the secured convertible note to satisfy the January Secured Notes, along with outstanding and accrued interest on the January Secured Notes of approximately $9,018. The note was outstanding on December 31, 2013 and Celentano Consulting Group has agreed in writing to extend the maturity date to December 23, 2014.
Between June 24, 2012 and December 13, 2012 the Company issued 7% unsecured promissory notes in consideration of $264,000. The notes were convertible at the option of the holders into shares of the Companys common stock at conversion prices ranging from $0.345 per share to $0.759 per share. The Company used the proceeds for working capital purposes. Effective December 20, 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of 408,615 shares of restricted common stock pursuant to the conversion, and in satisfaction of the notes, including accrued interest.
9
On July 5, 2012, the Company privately sold 32,661 shares of restricted shares of common stock to an accredited investor for gross proceeds of $25,000. The proceeds from the private placement were used for the continued development of Hyperlocal and PayMeOn products and for general working capital purposes. The private placement was conducted by the Companys president.
In addition, throughout fiscal year 2012 we received unsecured non -interest bearing cash advances from our chief executive officer in the aggregate principal amount of $6,100. The advances were used to satisfy payroll and payroll taxes and other working capital requirements. The advances are payable on demand. Between January 9, 2013 and December 24, 2013, the Company issued 7% unsecured promissory notes to Celentano Consulting Company, LLC in consideration of $769,861. The Company used the proceeds for working capital purposes. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 7% and are payable on or before 12 months from the date of issuance. Subject to certain limitations below, the notes may be converted at any time, at the option of the holder, into shares of the Companys common stock at a conversion price of $0.345 per share, subject to adjustment. The conversion of the notes may be limited if, upon conversion, the holder thereof would beneficially own more than 4.9% of the Companys common stock. As December 31, 2013 certain notes were past their maturity date. However, Celentano Consulting Group has agreed in writing to extend the due dates of all notes maturing on or before June 30, 2014 to December 23, 2014.
Plan of Operations
We intend on continuing our efforts primarily towards completing development of the Companys PayMeOn products, focusing primarily on the evolution of our ride along product. During 2013, we completed development of a mobile application for the product that is available for use on iPhones in the Apple app store. We expect that the product will require continuous improvement and upgrade, as is common in the marketplace. Additionally, we hope to develop the application for the Android mobile platform during 2014. Provided we are able to secure additional financing, we intend on commencing the marketing of the ride along product in the third quarter of 2014. Our marketing will focus first on selling service providers the ability to be included or ride along with other service provider recommendations made using our mobile application by PayMeOn members.
We also expect to continue marketing our Hyperlocal Marketing platform and products, but primarily as bundled or complimentary additions to our PayMeOn product and under the PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center name. As our development efforts come to fruition, we will focus our efforts on developing sales and distribution channels for PayMeOn. We will primarily focus our sales and distribution efforts on developing partnerships with third-party sales companies and organizations, and on developing partnerships with businesses that have large databases they wish to monetize using our social, local and mobile, PayMeOn platform.
Current working capital is not sufficient to maintain our current operations and there is no assurance that future sales and marketing efforts will be successful enough to achieve the level of revenue sufficient to provide cash to sustain operations. To the extent such revenues and corresponding cash flows do not materialize, we will attempt to fund working capital requirements through third party financing, including a private placement of our securities. In the absence of revenues, we currently believe we require a minimum of $750,000 to maintain our current operations through 2014. We cannot provide any assurances that required capital will be obtained or that the terms of such required capital may be acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may reduce our operating activities until sufficient funding is secured or revenues are generated to support operating activities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, Revenue Recognition. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
The Company recognizes sales of deals and texts when revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of keywords over the period the keywords are purchased for exclusive use, usually one year.
10
The Company recognizes revenue from setup fees in accordance with Topic 13, which requires the fees to be deferred and amortized over the term of the agreements. Revenue from the sale of bulk text messages sales and packages are recognized over twelve months. Revenue from monthly membership fees are recorded during the month the membership is earned.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, Compensation Stock Compensation. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.
Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This guidance requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date. This stipulates that (1) it will include the amount the entity agreed to pay for the arrangement between them and the other entities that are also obligated to the liability and (2) any additional amount the entity expects to pay on behalf of the other entities. The objective of this update is to provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal periods (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys reported results of operations or financial position.
In February 2013, FASB issued Accounting standards update 2013-02, Comprehensive Income Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update requires an entity to provide information amount the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. The entity is also required to disclose 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 periods. 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 discourses required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The objective in this Update is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. This standard did not have a material impact on the Companys reported results of operations or financial position.
Risk Factors
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors before deciding whether to invest in the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations or our financial condition. If any of the events discussed in the risk factors below occur, our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the value and marketability of the common stock could decline.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Our independent auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
As an early stage company, we have not yet generated significant revenues. We have incurred operating losses since its inception and will continue to incur net losses until we can produce sufficient revenues to cover our costs. Our independent auditors have included in their audit report an explanatory paragraph that states that our net loss and working capital deficiency raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
11
We have a limited operating history, have incurred net losses in the past and expect to incur net losses in the future.
We have a limited operating history and have not recorded a profit since inception. As a result of this, and the uncertainty of the market in which we operate, we cannot reliably forecast our future results of operations. We expect to increase our operating expenses in the future as a result of developing, refining and implementing a sales strategy. There is no guarantee we will be profitable in the future. In addition, we expect our operating expenses to increase in the future as we expand our operations. If our operating expenses exceed our expectations, our financial performance could be adversely affected. If our revenue does not grow to offset these increased expenses, we may not be profitable in any future period.
We have a short operating history and a new business model in an emerging and rapidly evolving market. This makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and increases the risk of your investment.
We have very little operating history for you to evaluate in assessing our future prospects. You must consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we will encounter as an early-stage company in a new and rapidly evolving market. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and difficulties, which could materially harm our business and operating results. In addition, we do not know if our current business model will operate effectively during the current economic downturn. Furthermore, we are unable to predict the likely duration and severity of the adverse economic conditions in the U.S. and other countries, but the longer the duration the greater risks we face in operating our business. There can be no assurance, therefore, that current economic conditions or worsening economic conditions, or a prolonged or recurring recession, will not have a significant adverse impact on our operating and financial results.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to develop the infrastructure necessary to achieve the potential sales growth.
Achieving revenue growth will require that we develop additional infrastructure in sales, technical and client support functions. We cannot assure you that we can develop this infrastructure or will have the capital to do so. We will continue to design plans to establish growth, adding sales and sales support resources as capital permits, but at this time these plans are untested. If we are unable to use any of our current marketing initiatives or the cost of such initiatives were to significantly increase or such initiatives or its efforts to satisfy existing clients are not successful, we may not be able to attract new clients or retain existing clients on a cost-effective basis and, as a result, our revenue and results of operations would be affected adversely.
The markets that we are targeting for revenue opportunities are new and rapidly developing and may change before we can access them.
The markets for traditional Internet and mobile Web products and services that we are targeting for revenue opportunities are changing rapidly and are being pursued by many other companies, and the barriers to entry are relatively low. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to realize these revenue opportunities before they change or before other companies dominate the market. Furthermore, we have based certain of our revenue opportunities on statistics provided by third party industry sources. Such statistics are based on ever changing customer preferences due to our rapidly changing industry. These statistics, including some of the statistics referenced in this memorandum, have not been independently verified by our company. With the introduction of new technologies and the influx of new entrants to the market, we expect competition to persist and intensify in the future, which could harm our ability to increase sales, limit client attrition and maintain our prices.
We need additional capital to fund our operations, which, if obtained, could result in substantial dilution or significant debt service obligations. We may not be able to obtain additional capital on commercially reasonable terms, which could adversely affect our liquidity and financial position.
We will require additional capital to fund the anticipated expansion of our business and to pursue targeted revenue opportunities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional capital. If we are able to raise additional capital, we do not know what the terms of any such capital raising would be. In addition, any future sale of our equity securities would dilute the ownership and control of your shares and could be at prices substantially below prices at which our shares currently trade. Our inability to raise capital could require us to significantly curtail or terminate our operations. We may seek to increase our cash reserves through the sale of additional equity or debt securities. The sale of convertible debt securities or additional equity securities could result in additional and potentially substantial dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity. In addition, our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure to raise additional funds on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.
12
We face significant competition from large and small companies offering products and services related to mobile marketing technologies and services, targeted advertising delivery and the delivery of Web-based video.
Our current and potential competitors may have significantly more financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do and may be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, sale and support of their products. Our current and potential competitors may have more extensive client bases and broader client relationships than our company. In addition, these companies may have longer operating histories and greater name recognition. These competitors may be better able to respond quickly to new technologies and to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns. If we are unable to compete with such companies, we may never generate demand for our products.
If we fail to promote and maintain our brand in a cost-effective manner, we may lose (or fail to gain) market share and our revenue may decrease.
We believe that developing and maintaining awareness of the PayMeOn brands in a cost-effective manner is critical to its goal of achieving widespread acceptance of our existing and future technologies and services and attracting new clients. Furthermore, we believe that the importance of brand recognition will increase as competition in our industry increases. Successful promotion of the brand will depend largely on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and the effectiveness and affordability of our products and services for our target client demographic. Historically, efforts to build brand recognition have involved significant expense, and it is likely that our future marketing efforts will require us to incur significant expenses. Such brand promotion activities may not yield increased revenue and, even if they do, any revenue increases may not offset the expenses we incur to promote our brand. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain the brand, or if we incur substantial expenses in an unsuccessful attempt to promote and maintain the brand, we may lose existing clients to our competitors or be unable to attract new clients, which would cause revenue to decrease.
If we do not innovate and provide products and services that are useful to users, revenues and operating results could suffer.
Our success depends on providing products and services that clients use to promote their brands and products via mobile Web or other Web-based advertising. Competitors are constantly developing innovations in customized communications, including technologies and services related to mobile marketing and targeted ad delivery. As a result, we must continue to invest significant resources in research and development in order to enhance existing products and services and introduce new high-quality products and services that people will use. If we are unable to predict user preferences or industry changes, if we are unable to manage our projects or product enhancements, or if we are unable to modify our products and services on a timely basis, we may lose users, clients and advertisers. Our operating results would also suffer if innovations are not responsive to the needs of users, clients and advertisers, are not appropriately timed with market opportunity or are not effectively brought to market.
The success of our business depends on the continued growth and acceptance of mobile marketing/advertising as a communications tool, and the related expansion and reliability of the Internet infrastructure. If consumers do not continue to use the mobile Web or alternative communications tools gain popularity, demand for our marketing and advertising technologies and services may decline.
The future success of our business depends on the continued and widespread adoption of mobile marketing as a significant means of advertising and marketing communication. Security problems such as viruses, worms and other malicious programs or reliability issues arising from outages and damage to the Internet infrastructure could create the perception that mobile or Web-based marketing/advertising is not a safe and reliable means of communication, which would discourage businesses and consumers from using such methods. Any decrease in the use of mobile devices or Web-based video resources would reduce demand for our marketing technologies and services and harm our business.
If we fail to manage our anticipated growth, our business and operating results could be harmed.
If we do not effectively manage our anticipated growth, the quality of our products and services could suffer, which could negatively affect our brand and operating results. To effectively manage our potential growth, we will need to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. These systems enhancements and improvements may require significant capital expenditures and allocation of valuable management resources. If the improvements are not implemented successfully, our ability to manage our growth will be impaired and we may have to make significant additional expenditures to address these issues, which could harm our financial position.
13
Our relationships with our channel partners may be terminated or may not continue to be beneficial in generating new clients, which could adversely affect our ability to increase our client base.
We maintain a network of active channel partners which refer clients to us within different business verticals. If we are unable to maintain contractual relationships with existing channel partners or establish new contractual relationships with potential channel partners, we may experience delays and increased costs in adding clients, which could have a material adverse effect on us. The number of clients we are able to add through these marketing relationships is dependent on the marketing efforts of our partners over which we exercise very little control.
Competition for employees in our industry is intense, and we may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled employees whom we need to support our business.
Competition for highly skilled technical and marketing personnel is intense and we continue to face difficulty identifying and hiring qualified personnel in certain areas of our business. We may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with existing compensation structure. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced employees have greater resources than we have and may be able to offer more attractive terms of employment. In particular, candidates making employment decisions, particularly in high-technology industries, often consider the value of any equity they may receive in connection with their employment. As a result, any significant volatility in the price of our stock may adversely affect our ability to attract or retain highly skilled technical and marketing personnel.
In addition, we invest significant time and expense in training employees, which increases their value to competitors who may seek to recruit them. If we fail to retain our employees, we could incur significant expenses in hiring and training their replacements and the quality of our services and our ability to serve our clients could diminish, resulting in a material adverse effect on our business.
We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights and any inability to protect them could reduce the value of our products, services and brand.
Excluding our U.S. trademark protection for social income, we have not filed with any regulatory authority for patent or trademark protection. We intend to protect our unpatented trade secrets and know-how through confidentiality or license agreements with third parties, employees and consultants, and by controlling access to and distribution of our proprietary information. However, this method may not afford complete protection particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States and unauthorized parties may copy or otherwise obtain and use our products, processes or technology and there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop similar know-how and trade secrets. If third parties take actions that affect our rights or the value of our intellectual property, similar proprietary rights or reputation or we are unable to protect our intellectual property from infringement or misappropriation, other companies may be able to use our proprietary know-how to offer competitive products at lower prices and we may not be able to effectively compete against these companies.
We may in the future be subject to intellectual property rights claims, which are costly to defend, could require us to pay damages and could limit our ability to use certain technologies in the future.
Companies in the internet, technology and media industries own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. As we face increasing competition, the possibility of intellectual property rights claims against us grows. Our technologies may not be able to withstand any third-party claims or rights against their use. Any intellectual property claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, expensive to litigate or settle and could divert management resources and attention.
With respect to any intellectual property rights claim, we may have to pay damages or stop using technology found to be in violation of a third partys rights. We may have to seek a license for the technology, which may not be available on reasonable terms and may significantly increase our operating expenses. We have not fully reviewed and assessed the potential intellectual claims centered on our latest asset purchases, mergers, or acquisitions to evaluate any technology licenses required. The technology also may not be available for license to us at all. As a result, we may also be required to develop alternative non-infringing technology, which could require significant effort and expense. If we cannot license or develop technology for the infringing aspects of our business, we may be forced to limit our product and service offerings and may be unable to compete effectively. Any of these results could harm our brand and operating results.
Our ability to offer our products and services may be affected by a variety of U.S. and foreign laws.
The laws relating to the liability of providers of online and mobile marketing services for activities of their users are in their infancy and currently unsettled both within the U.S. and abroad. Future regulations could affect our ability to provide current or future programming.
14
We will depend on the services of Edward Cespedes and the loss of Mr. Cespedes or failure of Mr. Cespedes to dedicate all of his time to our business could materially harm our company.
We rely on Edward Cespedes, as our sole officer and director. While Mr. Cespedes currently dedicates substantially all of his time to our company, he is not required to dedicate all of his time and resources to our company. The loss of the services of Mr. Cespedes or Mr. Cespedes inability to dedicate 100% of his time and resources to our company could materially harm our business. In addition, we do not presently maintain a key-man life insurance policy on Mr. Cespedes. Our future depends, in part, on our ability to attract and retain key personnel. Our future also depends on the continued contributions of other key technical and marketing personnel. The loss of key personnel and the process to replace any of our key personnel would involve significant time and expense, may take longer than anticipated and may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives.
We currently have no independent directors, which poses a risk for us from a corporate governance perspective.
Edward Cespedes, our only executive officer, also serves as our only director. Our director and executive officer is required to make interested party decisions, such as the approval of related party transactions, his level of his compensation, and oversight of our accounting function. Our director and executive officer also exercise substantial control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the nomination of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. Due to our lack of independent directors, we have not implemented various corporate governance measures, the absence of which may cause stockholders to have more limited protections against transactions implemented by our board of directors, conflicts of interest and similar matters. Stockholders should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.
Problems with third party hosting companies or our inability to receive third party approvals for our products could harm us.
We rely on third-party hosting companies. Any disruption in the network access or co-location services provided by these third-party providers or any failure of these third-party providers to handle current or higher volumes of use could significantly harm our business. In addition, we depend on third parties to approve our products. If such approvals are unable to be obtained or are not obtained in a timely fashion, our ability to access additional users and customers from those products would be significantly diminished.
Our business depends on the growth and maintenance of the Internet infrastructure.
Our success will depend on the continued growth and maintenance of the internet infrastructure. This includes maintenance of a reliable network backbone with the necessary speed, data capacity and security for providing reliable internet services. Internet infrastructure may be unable to support the demands placed on it if the number of internet users continues to increase or if existing or future internet users access the internet more often or increase their bandwidth requirements. In addition, viruses, worms and similar programs may harm the performance of the internet. The internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure, and it could face outages and delays in the future. These outages and delays could reduce the level of Internet usage as well as our ability to provide our solutions.
Our operating results may fluctuate.
Our operating results may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. The following factors may affect our operating results:
·
Our ability to compete effectively.
·
Our ability to continue to attract clients.
·
Our ability to attract revenue from advertisers and sponsors.
·
The amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the maintenance and expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure.
·
General economic conditions and those economic conditions specific to the internet and internet advertising.
·
Our ability to keep our websites operational at a reasonable cost and without service interruptions.
·
The success of our product expansion.
·
Our ability to attract, motivate and retain top-quality employees.
15
Failure to retain and attract qualified personnel could harm our business.
Aside from Mr. Cespedes, our success depends on our ability to attract, train and retain qualified personnel. Competition for qualified personnel is intense and we may not be able to hire sufficient personnel to support the anticipated growth of our business. If we fail to attract and retain qualified personnel, our business will suffer. Additionally, companies whose Employees accept positions with competitors often claim that such competitors have engaged in unfair hiring practices. We may receive such claims in the future as we seek to hire qualified Employees. We could incur substantial costs in defending against any such claims.
We may not be successful in managing acquisitions and acquisitions may result in substantial dilution.
We may acquire assets or businesses that may fail for various reasons, including but not limited to our inability to properly integrate their functionality or operations, our inability to market their products or services, or our inability to properly manage the assets or businesses following an acquisition. Acquisitions may result in the issuance of substantial equity or debt. Issuance of new equity securities may dilute existing shareholders. The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock issued in conjunction with acquisitions, or the perception that these sales could occur. The issuance of debt will result in the need for additional capital necessary to service the debt. We may not be able to generate sufficient returns from any acquisitions to service any debt issued as part of an acquisition related transaction.
Our industry is new and we are subject to uncertain regulation.
We are subject to a number of foreign and domestic laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business on the internet, many of which are still evolving and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business. In the United States and abroad, laws relating to the liability of providers of online services for activities of their users and other third parties are currently being tested by a number of claims. These regulations and laws may involve taxation, tariffs, subscriber privacy, data protection, content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, consumer protection, the provision of online payment services and the characteristics and quality of services. It is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, sales and other taxes, libel and personal privacy apply to the internet as the vast majority of these laws were adopted prior to the advent of the internet and do not contemplate or address the unique issues raised by the internet or e-commerce. In addition, it is possible that governments of one or more countries may seek to censor content available on our websites or may even attempt to completely block access to our websites. Accordingly, adverse legal or regulatory developments could substantially harm our business. The CARD Act, as well as the laws of most states, contain provisions governing product terms and conditions of gift cards, gift certificates, stored value or pre-paid cards or coupons (gift cards), such as provisions prohibiting or limiting the use of expiration dates on gift cards or the amount of fees charged in connection with gift cards or requiring specific disclosures on or in connection with gift cards. PayMeOn coupon, gift card, stored value or prepaid card offers generally are included within the definition of gift cards in many of these laws. In addition, certain foreign jurisdictions have laws that govern disclosure and certain product terms and conditions, including restrictions on expiration dates and fees that may apply to PayMeOn offers. However, the CARD Act as well as a number of states and certain foreign jurisdictions also have exemptions from the operation of these provisions or otherwise modify the application of these provisions applicable to gift cards that are issued as part of a promotion or promotional program. If PayMeOn offers are subject to the CARD Act, and are not included in the exemption for promotional programs, it is possible that the purchase value, which is the amount equal to the price paid for the offer, or the promotional value, which is the add-on value of the offer in excess of the price paid, or both, may not expire before the later of (i) five years after the date on which the offer was issued or the date on which the customer last loaded funds on the offer if the offer has a reloadable feature; (ii) the offers stated expiration date (if any), unless offers come within an exemption in the CARD Act for promotional programs; or (iii) a later date provided by applicable state law. In addition, regardless of whether an exemption for PayMeOn offers applies under the CARD Act, in those states that prohibit or otherwise restrict expiration dates on gift cards that are defined to include offers and that do not have exemptions that apply to the purchase value or the promotional value, or both, of offers, PayMeOn offers may be required to be honored for the full offer value (the total of purchase value and promotional value) until redeemed. There can be no assurance that as PayMeOn incorporates new requirements as detailed under the CARD Act that merchants will continue to offer PayMeOn offers.
In addition, some states and foreign jurisdictions also include gift cards under their unclaimed and abandoned property laws which require companies to remit to the government the value of the unredeemed balance on the gift cards after a specified period of time (generally between one and five years) and impose certain reporting and recordkeeping obligations. We do not remit any amounts relating to unredeemed PayMeOn offers based upon our assessment of applicable laws. The analysis of the potential application of the unclaimed and abandoned property laws to PayMeOn offers is complex, involving an analysis of constitutional and statutory provisions and factual issues, including our relationship with customers and merchants and our role as it relates to the issuance and delivery of our offers.

Regulations concerning data protection are evolving and the manner in which we handle personal data may be inconsistent with the interpretation of current laws.
Many states have passed laws requiring notification to subscribers when there is a security breach of personal data. There are also a number of legislative proposals pending before the U.S. Congress, various state legislative bodies and foreign governments concerning data protection. In addition, data protection laws in Europe and other jurisdictions outside the United States may be more restrictive, and the interpretation and application of these laws are still uncertain and in flux. It is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our data practices. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, this could result in an order requiring that we change our data practices, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Furthermore, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act has provisions that limit, but do not necessarily eliminate, our liability for linking to third-party websites that include materials that infringe copyrights or other rights, so long as we comply with the statutory requirements of this act. Complying with these various laws could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business.
We may be forced to vacate our primary offices.
We are currently in default of our lease for our corporate headquarters. If we are not able to resolve the matter with our landlord, we may be forced to vacate our offices. If we are not able to provide our employees with a central place to work, our business may be materially adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Because the market for our common stock is limited, persons who purchase our common stock may not be able to resell their shares at or above the purchase price paid for them.
Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board which is not a liquid market. There is currently only a limited public market for our common stock. We cannot assure you that an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained in the future. If an active market for our common stock does not develop or is not sustained, the price may continue to decline.
Because we are subject to the penny stock rules, brokers cannot generally solicit the purchase of our common stock which adversely affects its liquidity and market price.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define penny stock to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock on the Bulletin Board has been substantially less than $5.00 per share and therefore we are currently considered a penny stock according to SEC rules. This designation requires any broker-dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities.
Due to factors beyond our control, our stock price may be volatile.
Any of the following factors could affect the market price of our common stock:
·
Our failure to increase revenue in each succeeding quarter;
·
Our failure to achieve and maintain profitability;
·
Our failure to meet our revenue and earnings guidance;
·
The loss of distribution relationships
·
The sale of a large amount of common stock by our shareholders;
·
Our announcement of a pending or completed acquisition or our failure to complete a proposed acquisition;
·
Adverse court ruling or regulatory action;
·
Our failure to meet financial analysts’ performance expectations;
·
Changes in earnings estimates and recommendations by financial analysts;
·
Changes in market valuations of similar companies;
·
Short selling activities;
·
Our announcement of a change in the direction of our business;
·
Our inability to manage our international operations;
·
Actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or in our forecasted results of operations; or
·
Announcements by us, or our competitors, of significant contracts, acquisitions, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments.
17
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a companys securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted. A securities class action suit against us could result in substantial costs and divert our managements time and attention, which would otherwise be used to benefit our business.
Because we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms, it could have a material impact upon the price of our common stock.
It is not likely that securities analysts of major brokerage firms will provide research coverage for our common stock since the firm itself cannot recommend the purchase of our common stock under the penny stock rules referenced in an earlier risk factor. The absence of such coverage limits the likelihood that an active market will develop for our common stock. It may also make it more difficult for us to attract new investors at times when we acquire additional capital.
The conversion of outstanding secured and unsecured convertible promissory notes will result in dilution to existing stockholders and could negatively affect the market price of our common stock.
At March 31, 2014, we have outstanding 7% secured and unsecured promissory notes convertible at the option of the holders in the aggregate principal amount of $960,361 convertible at $0.345 per share; the conversion of certain notes limited if, upon conversion, the holder thereof would beneficially own more than 4.9% of the Companys outstanding common stock. If all the outstanding notes are converted, our issued and outstanding shares would increase significantly. In the event that a market for our common stock develops, to the extent that holders of our notes convert such securities, our existing shareholders will experience dilution to their ownership interest in our company. In addition, to the extent that holders of convertible securities convert such securities and then sell the underlying shares of common stock in the open market, our common stock price may decrease due to the additional shares in the market.
Our principal shareholders and their affiliates beneficially own and control approximately 84% of our outstanding common stock and as majority shareholders are able to control voting issues and actions that may not be beneficial or desired by minority shareholders.
As of March 31, 2014, our principal shareholders beneficially own approximately 84% of the issued and outstanding common stock and as such could elect all directors, and dissolve, merge or sell our assets or otherwise direct our affairs. Our principal shareholders also own secured and unsecured promissory notes that are convertible at their option into a material number of shares of our common stock. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control; impede a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving the Company, which, in turn, could depress the market price of our common stock.
The issuance of preferred stock could change control of the company.
Our articles of incorporation authorize the Board of Directors, without approval of the shareholders, to cause shares of preferred stock to be issued in one or more series, with the numbers of shares of each series to be determined by the Board of Directors. Our articles of incorporation further authorize the Board of Directors to fix and determine the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights (including, without limitation, voting powers, preferential rights to receive dividends or assets upon liquidation, rights of conversion or exchange into common stock or preferred stock of any series, redemption provisions and sinking fund provisions) between series and between the preferred stock or any series thereof and the common stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such rights. In the event of issuance, preferred stock could be used, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control of our company. Although we have no present plans to issue additional series or shares of preferred stock, we can give no assurance that we will not do so in the future.

Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Companys management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial (and principal accounting) Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2013. Based upon that evaluation and the identification of the material weakness in the Companys internal control over financial reporting as described below under Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting of the Company. Management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles because of the Companys limited resources and limited number of employees.
To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. 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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Edward Cespedes |
| 48 |
| Director, Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer |
Edward Cespedes. Edward Cespedes has served as sole officer and director since March 2011. Prior to becoming our Chief Executive Officer and sole director, he was the founder and chief executive officer of Hyperlocal Marketing, LLC. Mr. Cespedes has served as the Vice Chairman of Tralliance Registry Management Corporation, the company that manages the .travel domain for the global Internet since 2009 and was Tralliances Chief Executive Officer from 2006 through 2009. Mr. Cespedes has served as President of theglobe.com (OTCBB: TGLO) since June 2002 and as a director of theglobe.com, Inc. since 1997. Mr. Cespedes also serves as theglobe.coms Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Cespedes is also the President of E&C Capital Ventures, Inc., the general partner of E&C Capital Partners LLP. Mr. Cespedes served as the Vice Chairman of Prime Ventures, LLC, from May 2000 to February 2002. From August 2000 to August 2001, Mr. Cespedes served as the President of the Dr. Koop Lifecare Corporation (formerly Nasdaq: KOOP) and was a member of the Companys Board of Directors from January 2001 to December 2001. From 1996 to 2000, Mr. Cespedes was a Managing Director of Dancing Bear Investments, Inc., a private investment company. Concurrent with his position at Dancing Bear Investments, Inc., from 1998 to 2000, Mr. Cespedes also served as Vice President for corporate development for theglobe.com where he had primary responsibility for all mergers, acquisitions, and capital markets activities. In 1996, Mr. Cespedes was the Director of Corporate Finance for Alamo Rent-A-Car. From 1988 to 1996, Mr. Cespedes worked for J.P. Morgan and Company, where he focused on mergers and acquisitions. He is the founder of the Columbia University Hamilton Associates, a foundation for university academic endowments. Mr. Cespedes is also a member of the Board of Governors for the H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship at Nova Southeastern University and an honorary board member of the Special Olympics of Broward County. Mr. Cespedes received a Bachelors degree in International Relations from Columbia University in 1988.
Directors
Our Board of Directors consists of one member: Edward Cespedes. The terms of directors expire at the next annual shareholders meeting unless their terms are staggered as permitted in our Bylaws. Each shareholder is entitled to vote the number of shares owned by him for as many persons as there are directors to be elected. Shareholders do not have a right to cumulate their votes for directors.
Committees of the Board of Directors
We have not established any committees including an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee or a Nominating Committee, or any committee performing a similar function. We are an early stage company and have been unable to attract qualified independent directors to serve on our board. Our board of directors consists of only one member, and has not delegated any of its functions to committees. The entire board of directors acts as our audit committee as permitted under Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act. Our board of directors reviews the professional services provided by our independent auditors, the independence of our auditors from our management, our annual financial statements and our system of internal accounting controls. Further, as we are currently quoted on the OTC Markets, we are not subject to any exchange rule which includes qualitative requirements mandating the establishment of any particular committees. We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our shareholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our Board of Directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our shareholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our board has not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any shareholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of Directors. Given the nature of our operations, we do not anticipate that any of our shareholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.
20
While the OTC Markets does not impose any qualitative standards requiring companies to have independent directors or requiring that one or more of its directors be audit committee financial experts, it is our intent to expand our Board of Directors to include independent directors as well as one or more directors who satisfy the conditions to be considered audit committee financial experts. At that time we intend to establish an Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
Director Compensation
None of our directors receive any compensation for their services as a member of the Board of Directors.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among any of our executive officers or directors.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
None of our directors or executive officers have been convicted in a criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors, or has been a party to any judicial or administrative proceeding during the past ten years that resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining the person from future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or a finding of any violation of federal or state securities laws, except for matters that were dismissed without sanction or settlement. Except as set forth in our discussion below in Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, none of our directors, director nominees or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Code of Ethics
Our Board has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Although not required, the Code of Ethics also applies to our directors. The Code of Ethics provides written standards that we believe are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure and compliance with laws, rules and regulations, including insider trading, corporate opportunities and whistle-blowing or the prompt reporting of illegal or unethical behavior. A copy of the Code of Ethics is posted on our website (www.paymeon.com). A request for a copy can be made in writing to PayMeOn, Inc., 2400 E. Commercial Boulevard, Suite 612, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33308, Attention: Mr. Edward Cespedes.
Shareholder Communications
Although we do not have a formal policy regarding communications with our Board, shareholders may communicate with the Board by writing to us at PayMeOn, Inc., 2400 E. Commercial Boulevard, Suite 612, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33308. Attention: Mr. Edward Cespedes. Shareholders who would like their submission directed to a member of the Board may so specify, and the communication will be forwarded, as appropriate.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and the other equity securities. Officers, directors and 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of the forms furnished to us, and written representations from reporting persons that no Form 5s were required, we believe that all filing requirements were complied with during 2013, except as provided below.
From March 15, 2013, through December 23, 2013 Celentano Consulting Company, LLC, a 10% shareholder of the Company, was issued a series of unsecured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $584,861 by the Company. The notes may be converted at any time, at the option of the holder, into shares of the Companys common stock at a conversion price of $0.345 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits and dividends and certain limitation on conversion. In addition, the conversion of the notes may be limited if, upon conversion, the holder thereof would beneficially own more than 4.9% of the Companys common stock. Celentano Consulting Company failed to file Form 4 disclosing the acquisition of derivative securities.

Employment Agreements
Effective August 15, 2011, the Company entered into an executive employment agreement with Edward Cespedes. Under the terms of the executive employment agreement, Mr. Cespedes has agreed to serve as our chief executive officer. The term of the agreement is one year; however, the agreement shall continue on a day to day basis following the one year term unless the Company or Mr. Cespedes provides written notice to the other party not to further extend the agreement. The agreement provides for an initial base salary of $250,000 per year with an increase at the discretion of the board of directors, paid vacation of at least four weeks per year and a reimbursement of all reasonable expenses. Mr. Cespedes is eligible to receive increases and annual cash incentive bonuses and shall be paid a guaranteed annual bonus of a minimum of $50,000 and is eligible for greater bonus payments depending on the Companys performance. Mr. Cespedes is also eligible to participate in benefit and incentive programs we may offer. Under the agreement, Mr. Cespedes is required to devote sufficient time to the Company as required to satisfactorily perform his duties. As previously disclosed, we have also entered into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Cespedes.
We may terminate the agreement at any time, with or without due cause. Due cause is defined as Mr. Cespedes final conviction or plea of guilty or no contest to a felony involving moral turpitude or willful misconduct that is materially and demonstratably injurious economically to the Company. We may also terminate the agreement upon Mr. Cespedes death and, if as a result of Mr. Cespedes incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Mr. Cespedes, having been substantially unable to perform his duties for three consecutive months, we may terminate Mr. Cespedes for disability upon 30-days written notice.
Mr. Cespedes may terminate the agreement at any time, with or without good reason. However, termination for good reason must occur within 90 days of the occurrence of an event constituting good reason. Good reason includes: a material diminution in his authority, duties, responsibilities, titles or offices; a purported reduction in Mr. Cespedes base salary, guaranteed bonus or bonus opportunity; relocation of the Companys principal executive offices to a location more than 25 miles outside of Fort Lauderdale, Florida; change of control of the Company; or any other breach of a material provision of the agreement by the Company.
In the event Mr. Cespedes is terminated without cause or by Mr. Cespedes for good reason, the Company shall pay Mr. Cespedes within five days of such termination, all accrued benefits and a lump sum cash payment equal to ten times the sum of Mr. Cespedes base salary and highest annual bonus. Furthermore, the Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for the continued benefit of Mr. Cespedes, his spouse and dependents, for a period of ten years following the date of termination, all health, dental and life insurance programs in which Mr. Cespedes, his spouse and his dependents were participating immediately prior to the date of termination. In addition, Mr. Cespedes shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred, but not paid prior to termination and shall be entitled to any other rights, compensation and/or benefits as may be due to Mr. Cespedes. Furthermore, with respect to all equity awards granted to Mr. Cespedes, all such rewards shall immediately vest and Mr. Cespedes shall be permitted to exercise any and all such rights until the earlier of the third anniversary of the date of termination and the expiration term of such awards. Any restricted stock held by Mr. Cespedes shall become immediately vested as of the date of termination.
22
In the event of termination of Mr. Cespedes for cause or by Mr. Cespedes without good reason, the Company shall pay Mr. Cespedes his accrued benefits, reimburse Mr. Cespedes for reasonable expenses incurred, but not paid prior to such termination date and Mr. Cespedes shall be entitled to any other rights, compensation and/or benefits as may be due to Mr. Cespedes.
In the event of termination for disability, Mr. Cespedes shall receive his accrued benefits for a period of one year. In addition, he shall be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred, but not paid prior to the termination date and Mr. Cespedes shall be entitled to any other rights, compensation and/or benefits as may be due to Mr. Cespedes. In the event employment is terminated due to Mr. Cespedes death, the Company shall pay a lump sum to Mr. Cespedes beneficiary of his accrued benefits and shall provide Mr. Cespedes spouse and dependents with continued benefits for ten years. Mr. Cespedes beneficiary shall also be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred, but not paid prior to Mr. Cespedes death and shall be entitled to any other rights, compensation and benefits as may be due to any such beneficiaries.
Except as otherwise disclosed above, we have not entered into employment agreements with, nor have we authorized any payments upon termination or change-in-control to any of our executive officers or key employees.
How Compensation for our Directors and Executive Officers was Determined
None of our directors receive any compensation for their services as a member of the Board of Directors. Our chief executive officer, Edward Cespedes, is compensated as per his employment agreement entered into on August 15, 2011. Mr. Cespedes is an experienced executive and we believe his compensation is commensurate with executives of publicly traded entities with similar background and experience.
2013 Option Grants To Executive Officers
None.
Director Compensation
No annual compensation was paid to our directors during 2013 or 2012.
Outstanding Equity Awards At Fiscal Year-End
None.
Equity Compensation Plan Information
None. We have not issued any options, warrants or other equity or non-equity based incentives nor has any equity award/compensation has been awarded to, earned by, or paid to any of our executive officers, directors or key employees; therefore, we have omitted an Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End Table as permitted under Regulation S-K. Further, as a smaller reporting company we are providing the scaled disclosures as permitted by Regulation S-K and therefore, have omitted a Grants of Plan Based Award Table, Options Exercised and Stock Vested Table, Pension Benefits Table and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table.

Item 12.
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.
The following table shows the number of shares and percentage of all shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2014, held by any person known to the Company to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the Companys outstanding common stock, by each executive officer and director, and by all directors and executive officers as a group. The persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned. Unless otherwise noted below, each beneficial owner has sole power to vote and dispose of the shares and the address of such person is c/o our corporate offices at 2400 East Commercial Boulevard, Suite 612, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, a person has beneficial ownership of any securities as to which such person, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, undertaking, relationship or otherwise has or shares voting power and/or investment power or as to which such person has the right to acquire such voting and/or investment power within 60 days. Applicable percentage of ownership is based on 5,572,688 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2014, together with securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock within sixty (60) days of March 31, 2014, for each stockholder.

the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser or $120,000 or 1% of the average of our Company’s total assets at year end for the last two fiscal years; and
·
a director, executive officer or holder of more than 5% of our common stock or any member of his or her immediate family had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
During September 2012, the Company entered into preliminary negotiations surrounding a licensing agreement with Destination Meals LLC. Our CEO, Edward Cespedes, is a 10% owner of Destination Meals LLC through the Edward A. Cespedes Revocable Trust dated August 22, 2007. The discussion points revolve around Destination Meals LLC licensing certain software from PayMeOn in exchange for per transaction payments to PayMeOn. Though a final agreement has not yet been signed, the parties have tentatively agreed to terms and are currently conducting testing and engaging in limited sales transactions. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has recognized approximately $200 of revenue under the proposed licensing agreement.
Throughout fiscal year 2012 and 2013 we received unsecured non -interest bearing cash advances from our chief executive officer. At December 31, 2013 $6,100 was outstanding. The advances were used to satisfy payroll and payroll taxes and other working capital requirements. The advances are payable on demand.

On December 27, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to issue a secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $165,500 with Celentano Consulting Company, LLC, an affiliate of the Company. The secured convertible note bears interest at an annual rate of 7% and is payable on or before 12 months from the date of issuance. The secured convertible note is secured by all of the assets of the Company and includes customary provisions concerning events of default. In addition, the secured convertible note may be converted at any time, at the option of the holder, into shares of the Companys common stock at a conversion price of $0.345 per share, subject to adjustment. The Company received $165,500 in gross proceeds from the issuance of the secured convertible note. As of December 27, 2013, the note was past its maturity date. However, Celentano Consulting Group has agreed in writing to extend the maturity date of such note to December 23, 2014.
From late 2012 through December 24, 2013, the Company issued a series of unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $794,861 to Celentano Consulting Company, LLC, an affiliate of the Company. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 7% and are payable on or before 12 months from the date of issuance. Subject to certain limitations below, the notes may be converted at any time, at the option of the holder, into shares of the Companys common stock at a conversion price of $0.345 per share, subject to adjustment. The conversion of the notes may be limited if, upon conversion, the holder thereof would beneficially own more than 4.9% of the Companys common stock. The Company used the proceeds for working capital purposes. Celentano Consulting Company has notified the Company that it intends to convert these notes into shares of the Companys common stock in conjunction with, and as soon as practicable, following the closing of the asset purchase. As of April 9, 2014, unsecured promissory notes in principal amounts of approximately $295,000 were past their maturity date. However, Celentano Consulting Group has agreed in writing to extend the maturity date of all notes due on or before June 30, 2014 to December 23, 2014. On April 12, 2014, Celentano Consulting Group advanced the Company an additional $20,000.
On February 12, 2013, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with WCIS Media, LLC, a related party, to acquire a web-based technology platform in exchange for 4,347,827shares of our common stock. We believe that this platform has features and benefits which we will integrate into our PayMeOn Platform, including: (1) lead generation tracking and reporting, (2) merchant categorization and sub categorization, (3) consumer tracking and qualification, (4) merchant bidding capabilities, and (5) offline tracking and service, including live transfer capabilities for consumers. The closing of the asset purchase agreement occurred on April 1, 2013. From an accounting standpoint, we treated this transaction as an asset purchase as the transaction does not meet the criteria of a business combination with the guidelines of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 805 Business Combination. In addition, because we acquired this asset from a related party, under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) we recorded the asset on our financial statements at its historic cost. The asset was subsequently impaired.
Voting control of WCIS Media, LLC is held by Vincent L. Celentano. Mr. Celentano also holds voting control of Celentano Consulting Company LLC, a related party.
Currently, we have no independent directors on our Board of Directors, and therefore have no formal procedures in effect for reviewing and pre-approving any transactions between us, our directors, officers and other affiliates. We will use our best efforts to insure that all transactions are on terms at least as favorable to the Company as we would negotiate with unrelated third parties.
Item 14.
Principal Accounting Fees and Services.

In its review of non-audit service and its appointment of Liggett, Vogt & Webb P.A., the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, the Board considered whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining independence.

The following table shows the fees for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Director of:
Paymeon, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Paymeon, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Paymeon, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $2,433,186, a working capital deficiency of $1,284,069, used cash in operations of $722,335 and an accumulated deficit of $5,909,470 at December 31, 2013. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PAYMEON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Formerly Known as MMAX MEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2013
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN
(A) Organization
On March 16, 2011 PayMeOn, Inc. (formerly known as MMAX Media, Inc.) (PAYM or the Company) completed its agreement and plan of merger (the Merger Agreement) to acquire Hyperlocal Marketing, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (Hyperlocal), pursuant to which Hyperlocal merged with and into HLM PayMeOn, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of PAYM. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Hyperlocal members received 301,296 shares of PAYM common stock, which equals approximately 50.1% of the total shares of PAYM issued and outstanding following the merger on a fully diluted basis. In accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-45-15, the transaction is accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Hyperlocal is considered the accounting acquirer and the acquiree is PAYM since the members of Hyperlocal obtained voting and management control of PAYM and the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization.
Hyperlocal Marketing, LLC was originally organized in the State of Florida on January 22, 2010. The Company has focused its efforts on organizational activities, raising capital, software development and evaluating operational opportunities.
PayMeOn owns and operates products aimed at the location-based marketing industry. PayMeOn develops and markets products that provide merchants and consumers with mobile marketing services and offers, including but not limited to, mobile coupons, mobile business cards, mobile websites, advertising inclusion with mobile referrals, use of SMS short codes and contest management. PayMeOn (formerly Hyperlocal) has had nominal revenues since its inception. PayMeOns mobile application product is designed to offer members using the application income potential when they allow PayMeOns merchant customer information to be included with their mobile recommendations and referrals.
PayMeOn Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries are herein referred to as the Company.
Effective April 1, 2013, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to increase its authorized common stock from 195,000,000 shares to 1,000,000,000 shares, eliminate the class of preferred stock known as Callable and Convertible Preferred Stock, and create a class of preferred stock consisting of 5,000,000 shares, the designations and attributes of which are left for future determination by the Companys board of directors.
On April 25, 2013 the Company approved a 1:69 reverse stock split effective May 17, 2013. As per ASC 505-10-S99, the historical financial statements have been adjusted to show the effect of the stock split as of May 15, 2013. In addition the Company approved the name change to PayMeOn, Inc.
(B) Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PayMeOn, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Hyperlocal Marketing, LLC and HLM PayMeOn, Inc. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.
(C) Going Concern
Since inception, the Company has incurred net operating losses and used cash in operations. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $5,909,470, a working capital deficiency of $1,284,069 and used cash in operations of $722,335. Losses have principally occurred as a result of the substantial resources required for research and development and marketing of the Companys products which included the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

(Formerly Known as MMAX MEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2013
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(B) Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
The presentation of 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates during the period covered by these financial statements include the valuation of website costs, valuation of deferred tax asset, stock based compensation and any beneficial conversion features on convertible debt.
(C) Fair value measurements and Fair value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820.
Due to the short-term nature of all financial assets and liabilities, their carrying value approximates their fair value as of the balance sheet date.
(D) Computer and Equipment and Website Costs
Computer Equipment and Website Costs are capitalized at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is three to five years for all categories. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for betterments and renewals are capitalized. The cost of computer equipment and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts upon retirement or disposal with any resulting gain or loss being recorded in operations.
Software maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for enhanced functionality are capitalized.

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $9,221 and $9,476, respectively.
On February 12, 2013, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with WCIS Media, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (WCIS). Under the asset purchase agreement the Company agreed to acquire a proprietary web based technology platform (the Asset) developed and owned by WCIS. The Asset is designed for: (1) lead generation tracking and reporting; (2) merchant categorization and sub categorization; (3) consumer tracking and qualification; (4) merchant bidding capabilities; and (5) offline tracking and service, including live transfer capabilities for consumers. The Company intends to incorporate the Asset into its current PayMeOn business. The Company acquired the Asset in consideration of 4,347,826 shares of restricted common stock of the Company valued at $454,033 the historical depreciated basis of the asset acquired. WCIS is an entity controlled by Vincent Celentano, a principal of WCIS Media, LLC and an affiliated shareholder of the Company. As such, the Company recorded the Asset at its historical cost. Furthermore, this transaction did not meet the criteria of a business combination within the guidelines of ASC 805 Business Combinations, and therefore will be accounted for as an asset purchase. The effective closing date for this transaction was April 1, 2013. As of December 31, 2013 the Company impaired the value of the technology acquired as well as $66,976 of additional costs associated with the development of its mobile application.
(E) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or a change in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset. As of December 31, 2013, the Company recorded impairment charges of $521,009 associated with its purchase of technology and website development.
(F) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic. 605 Revenue Recognition. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
F-9
PAYMEON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Formerly Known as MMAX MEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2013
The Company recognizes sales of deals and texts when revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of keywords over the period the keywords are purchased for exclusive use, usually one year.
The Company recognizes revenue from setup fees in accordance with Topic 13, which requires the fees to be deferred and amortized over the term of the agreements. Revenue from the sale of bulk text messages sales and packages are recognized over twelve months. Revenue from monthly membership fees are recorded during the month the membership is earned.
(G) Segments
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
(H) Loss Per Share
The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. The diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. The Company has 220,290 and 223,188 shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants and 2,783,655 and 552,173 shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes payable that were not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
(I) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation Stock Compensation. Under FASB ASC Topic. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.
Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB ASC Topic 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
(J) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (ASC 740-10-25). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $2,420,636 available to offset future taxable income through 2032. This results in deferred tax assets of approximately $1,746,926 as of December 31, 2013. The valuation allowance at December 31, 2013 was approximately $1,746,926. The change in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2013 was an increase of $668,814. Tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
As a result of the Hyperlocal acquisition in 2011 and the corresponding change in ownership, the Companys NOLs are subject to a Section 382 limitation resulting in possible limitations on the future use of these net operating loss carry forwards.
