NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company’s business is to acquire patents and patent rights and to monetize the value of those assets to generate revenue and profit for the Company. The Company acquires patents and patent rights from their owners, who range from individual inventors to Fortune 500 companies. Part of the Company’s acquisition strategy is to acquire or invest in patents and patent rights that cover a wide-range of subject matter, which allows the Company to achieve the benefits of a growing diversified portfolio of assets. Generally, the patents and patent rights that the Company acquires are characterized by having large identifiable companies who are or have been using technology that infringes on the Company’s patents and patent rights. The Company generally monetizes its portfolio of patents and patent rights by entering into license discussions, and if that is unsuccessful, initiating enforcement activities against any infringing parties with the objective of entering into a standard form of comprehensive settlement and license agreement that may include the granting of non-exclusive retroactive and future rights to use the patented technology, a covenant not to sue, a release of the party from certain claims, the dismissal of any pending litigation and other terms that are appropriate in the circumstances. The Company’s strategy has been developed with the expectation that it will result in a long-term, diversified revenue stream for the Company.

Marathon Patent Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 23, 2010, initially as Verve Ventures, Inc.

On December 7, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada in order to change its name to “American Strategic Minerals Corporation” from “Verve Ventures, Inc.”, and increase the Company’s authorized capital to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. During June 2012, the Company decided to discontinue its exploration and potential development of uranium and vanadium minerals business.

On August 1, 2012, the shareholders holding a majority of the Company’s voting capital voted in favor of (i) changing the name of the Company to “Fidelity Property Group, Inc.” and (ii) the adoption the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan and reserving 10,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder (the “2012 Plan”). The board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) approved the name change and the adoption of the 2012 Plan on August 1, 2012. The Company did not file an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada and subsequently abandoned the decision to adopt the “Fidelity Property Group, Inc.” name and discontinue its real estate business.

On October 1, 2012, the shareholders holding a majority of the Company’s voting capital had voted and authorized the Company to (i) change the name of the Company to Marathon Patent Group, Inc. (the “Name Change”) and (ii) effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock by a ratio of 3-for-2 (the “Reverse Split”) within one year from the date of approval of the stockholders of the Company. The Board of Directors approved the Name Change and the Reverse Split on October 1, 2012. The Board of Directors determined the name “Marathon Patent Group, Inc.” better reflects the long-term strategy in exploring other opportunities and the identity of the Company going forward. On February 15, 2013, the Company filed the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada in order to effectuate the Name Change. On May 31, 2013, shareholders of record holding a majority of the outstanding voting capital of the Company approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock by a ratio of not less than one-for-five and not more than one-for-fifteen at any time prior to April 30, 2014, with such ratio to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, in its sole discretion. On June 24, 2013, the reverse stock split ratio of one (1) for thirteen (13) basis was approved by the Board of Directors. On July 18, 2013, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada in order to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.0001 per share on a one (1) for thirteen (13) basis. All share and per share values for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are retroactively restated for the effect of the reverse stock split.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and present the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Company, all intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2014, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Other than where noted, the accounting policies and procedures employed in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements have been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013, which are contained in Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2014. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 was derived from those financial statements.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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 made by management include, but are not limited to, estimating the useful lives of patent assets, the assumptions used to calculate fair value of warrants and options granted, realization of long-lived assets, deferred income tax assets and unrealized tax positions and business combination accounting.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at one financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company’s accounts at this institution are insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). As of June 30, 2014, the Company had bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.

Accounts Receivable

The Company has a policy of reserving for questionable accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the bad debt expense after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the allowance for bad debt was $0 and $57,050, respectively. Accounts receivable-net at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, amounted to $75,000 and $270,000, respectively.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities that the Company invests in publicly traded equity securities and are generally restricted for sale under Federal securities laws. The Company’s policy is to liquidate securities received when market conditions are favorable for sale. Since these securities are often restricted, the Company is unable to liquidate them until the restriction is removed. Pursuant to ASC Topic 320, “Investments –Debt and Equity Securities” the Company’s marketable securities have a readily determinable and active quoted price, such as from NASDAQ, NYSE Euronext, the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, and the OTC Markets Group.

Concentration of Revenue and Geographic Area

Patent license revenue from enforcement activities is considered United States revenue as payments are for licenses for United States operations irrespective of the location of the licensee's or licensee's parent home domicile. As of June 30, 2014, one licensee accounted for 100% of the Company’s total accounts receivable-net. Revenues from five licensees accounted for 100% of the Company’s operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014, two of which accounted for 98% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”. Revenue is recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) all obligations have been substantially performed, (iii) amounts are fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability of amounts is reasonably assured.

The Company considers its licensing and enforcement activities as one unit of accounting under ASC 605-25, “Multiple-Element Arrangements” as the delivered items do not have value to customers on a standalone basis, there are no undelivered elements and there is no general right of return relative to the license. Under ASC 605-25, the appropriate recognition of revenue is determined for the combined deliverables as a single unit of accounting and revenue is recognized upon delivery of the final elements, including the license for past and future use and the release.

Also due to the fact that the settlement element and license element for past and future use are the major central business, the Company does not present these two elements as different revenue streams in its statement of operations. The Company does not expect to provide licenses that do not provide some form of settlement or release. The Company derived all of its revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from the one-time issuance of non-recurring, non-exclusive, non-assignable licenses to five different entities and their affiliates for certain of the Company’s patents.

The Company’s subsidiaries entered into five license agreements during the three months ended June 30, 2014. On April 10, 2014, Vantage Point Technology, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Marathon, entered into a Settlement and License Agreement with a single corporate licensee. On May 6, 2014, CRFD Research, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Marathon entered into a Patent License and License Option Agreement with (“RPX Agreement”) with RPX Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“RPX”). On June 9, 2014, CyberFone Systems, LLC., a wholly owned subsidiary of Marathon, entered into a Patent License and Settlement Agreement with a single corporate licensee. On June 16, 2014, one of the entities to which IP Liquidity Ventures, LLC has contact rights, Selene Communication Technologies, LLC, entered into a Settlement and License Agreement with a single corporate licensee. On June 30, 2014, Selene Communication Technologies, LLC., acquired by Marathon in an agreement entered into on June 17, 2014, entered into a Settlement and License Agreement with a single corporate licensee.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues mainly includes expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s patent enforcement activities, such as legal fees, consulting costs, patent maintenance, royalty fees for acquired patents and other related expenses. Cost of revenue does not include expenses related to product development, integration or support, as these are included in general and administrative expenses.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets of $653,445 and $752,931 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, consist primarily of costs paid for future services, which will occur within a year. Prepaid expenses include prepayments in cash and equity instruments for public relation services, business advisory, consulting, and prepaid insurance, which are being amortized over the terms of their respective agreements. In addition, prepaid expenses and other current assets include outstanding litigation bonds. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized stock based consulting expenses of $351,878 related to the amortization of prepaid expenses and other current assets in connection with common stock issued for prepaid services.

Table of Contents

Available for sale securities are carried at fair value, with changes in unrealized gains or losses are recognized as an element of comprehensive income based on changes in the fair value of the security. Once liquidated, realized gains or losses on the sale of marketable securities available for sale are reflected in the net income (loss) for the period in which the security was liquidated.

Comprehensive Income

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05 amends Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification Topic 220 on comprehensive income (1) to eliminate the current option to present the components of other comprehensive income (loss) in the statement of changes in equity, and (2) to require presentation of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) (and their respective components) either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. These amendments do not alter any current recognition or measurement requirements in respect of items of other comprehensive income. The amendments in this Update are to be applied prospectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company adopted FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing US GAAP that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

	Level 1:	Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
	Level 2:	Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
	Level 3:	Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The Company classifies the investments in marketable securities available for sale as Level 3, adjusted for the effect of restriction. The securities are restricted and cannot be readily resold by the Company absent a registration of those securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the availabilities of an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act. As these securities are often restricted, the Company is unable to liquidate them until the restriction is removed. Unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities available for sale are recognized as an element of comprehensive income based on changes in the fair value of the security. Once liquidated, realized gains or losses on the sale of marketable securities available for sale are reflected in our net loss for the period in which the security was liquidated. Other Level 3 items include the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and patents and patent rights.

Accounting for Acquisitions

In the normal course of its business, the Company makes acquisitions of patent assets and may also make acquisitions of businesses. With respect to each such transaction, the Company evaluates facts of the transaction and follows the guidelines prescribed in accordance with ASC 805 – Business Combinations to determine the proper accounting treatment for each such transaction and then records the transaction in accordance with the conclusions reached in such analysis. The Company performs such analysis with respect to each material acquisition within the consolidated group of entities.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.

The Company follows the provision of the ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Position. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be situated upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is most likely that not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.

Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.

The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25 Definition of Settlement, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion and examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax position considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely that not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they were filed. The Company is in the process of filing the previous year’s tax returns.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

Net loss per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260: Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not include dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding, as they would be anti-dilutive. The Company has 983,076 stock options and 917,309 stock warrants outstanding (including for those warrants issued in the Private Placement closing on May 1, 2014) at June 30, 2014, which were excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding, as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net loss. In addition, as of June 30, 2014, the Company had Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”) outstanding for 100,000 shares of common stock, which RSU is also not included in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include the cost of patents or patent rights (“patents”) that were acquired from a third party or in connection with a business combination. Patent costs are amortized over their remaining lives which range from 1 to 11 years. For acquisitions deemed to be asset acquisitions, costs incurred to acquire patents, including legal costs, are also capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis with the associated patent.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company initially performs a qualitative evaluation of whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If it is determined by a qualitative evaluation that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, the Company then applies a two-step impairment test. The two-step impairment test first compares the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit to its carrying value or book value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill is not impaired and the Company is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company determines the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill and if the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment loss equal to the difference is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. With respect to the patents, factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

·	Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;

·	Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and

·	Significant negative industry or economic trends.

-10-

Table of Contents

When the Company determines that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists in projecting cash flows.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company initially records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”) that updates the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principal of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also amends the required disclosures of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is evaluating the potential impacts of the new standard on its existing revenue recognition policies and procedures.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

CyberFone

On April 22, 2013, Acquisition Corp., a Texas corporation and newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a merger agreement with CyberFone Systems (“CyberFone”), TechDev Holdings, LLC (“TechDev”) and Spangenberg Foundation. TechDev and Spangenberg Foundation owned 100% of the membership interests of CyberFone Systems.

CyberFone owns a foundational patent portfolio that includes claims that provide specific transactional data processing, telecommunications, network and database inventions, including financial transactions. The portfolio, which has a large and established licensing base, consists of ten United States patents and 27 foreign patents and one patent pending. The patent rights that cover digital communications and data transaction processing are foundational to certain applications in the wireless, telecommunications, financial and other industries. IP Navigation Group LLC (“IP Nav”), a Company founded by Erich Spangenberg and associated with the CyberFone Sellers will continue to support and manage the portfolio of patents and retain a contingent participation interest in all recoveries. IP Nav provides patent monetization and support services under an existing agreement with CyberFone.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the terms of the CyberFone Merger Agreement, CyberFone merged with and into Acquisition Corp. with CyberFone surviving the merger as the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company (i) issued 461,538 post-split (6,000,000 pre-split) shares of common stock to the CyberFone Sellers, (ii) paid the CyberFone Sellers $500,000 cash and (iii) issued a $500,000 promissory note to TechDev (the “Note”). The Company valued these common shares at the fair market value on the date of grant at $4.94 post-split ($0.38 pre-split) per share or $2,280,000. The Note was non-interest bearing and was due on June 22, 2013, subject to acceleration in the event of default. The Company may prepay the Note at any time without premium or penalty. On June 21, 2013, the Company paid $500,000 to TechDev in satisfaction of the Note. The transaction resulted in a business combination and caused CyberFone to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

In addition to the payments described above, within 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter (commencing with the first full calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which CyberFone recovers $4 million from licensing or enforcement activities related to the patents), CyberFone will be required to pay out a certain percentage of such recoveries.

The Company accounted for the acquisition utilizing the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”. The Company is the acquirer for accounting purposes and CyberFone is the acquired company. Accordingly, the Company applied push–down accounting and adjusted to fair value all of the assets and liabilities directly on the financial statements of the subsidiary. The net purchase price paid by the Company was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the records of the Company as follows:

Intangible assets	$	1,135,512
Goodwill		2,144,488
Net purchase price	$	3,280,000

NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

On December 7, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada in order to increase the Company’s authorized capital to 200,000,000 shares of common stock from 75,000,000 shares, change the par value to $0.0001 per share from $.001 per share, and authorized new 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock were undesignated. On April 20, 2014, the Board of Directors designated 1,500,000 of the 50,000,000 undesignated preferred shares to be Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 500,000 of the 50,000,000 undesignated preferred shares to be Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

Series A Preferred Stock

On May 1, 2014, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada a Certificate of Designations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designations”), authorizing 1,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and establishing the designations, preferences, and other rights of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Certificate of Designations became effective upon filing.

The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock are summarized below:

Rank. The Series A Preferred Stock will rank senior to Common Stock and to all other classes and series of equity securities of the Company which by its terms do not rank on a parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This Report on Form 10-Q and other written and oral statements made from time to time by us may contain so-called “forward-looking statements,” all of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “expects,” “plans,” “will,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “intends,” “estimates,” and other words of similar meaning. One can identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements are likely to address our growth strategy, financial results and product and development programs. One must carefully consider any such statement and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ from our forward looking statements. These factors may include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially.

Information regarding market and industry statistics contained in this Report is included based on information available to us that we believe is accurate. It is generally based on industry and other publications that are not produced for purposes of securities offerings or economic analysis. We have not reviewed or included data from all sources, and cannot assure investors of the accuracy or completeness of the data included in this Report. Forecasts and other forward-looking information obtained from these sources are subject to the same qualifications and the additional uncertainties accompanying any estimates of future market size, revenue and market acceptance of products and services. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statement. As a result, investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Overview

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 23, 2010 under the name “Verve Ventures, Inc.” On December 7, 2011, we changed our name to “American Strategic Minerals Corporation” and were engaged in exploration and potential development of uranium and vanadium minerals business. During June 2012, we decided to discontinue our uranium and vanadium minerals business and engaged in the business of acquiring, renovating, and selling real estate properties located within the areas of Southern California. On November 14, 2012, we decided to discontinue our real estate business.

Our current business is to acquire patents and patent rights and to monetize the value of those assets to generate revenue and profit for the Company. We acquire patents and patent rights from their owners, who range from individual inventors to Fortune 500 companies. Part of our acquisition strategy is to acquire or invest in patents and patent rights that cover a wide-range of subject matter, which allows us to achieve the benefits of a growing diversified portfolio of assets. Generally, the patents and patent rights that we acquire are characterized by having large identifiable companies who are or have been using technology that infringes our patents and patent rights. We generally monetize our portfolio of patents and patent rights by entering into license discussions, and if that is unsuccessful, initiating enforcement activities against any infringing parties with the objective of entering into a standard form of comprehensive settlement and license agreement that may include the granting of non-exclusive retroactive and future rights to use the patented technology, a covenant not to sue, a release of the party from certain claims, the dismissal of any pending litigation and other terms that are appropriate in the circumstances. Our strategy has been developed with the expectation that it will result in a long-term, diversified revenue stream for the Company.

Our principal office is located at 11100 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 380, Los Angeles, CA 90225. Our telephone number is (703) 232-1701.

On July 18, 2013, we filed a certificate of amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada in order to effectuate a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.0001 per share on a one (1) for thirteen (13) basis (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split became effective with the FINRA at the open of business on July 22, 2013. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every thirteen shares of our pre-reverse split common stock will be combined and reclassified into one share of our common stock. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the Reverse Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share shall receive the next highest number of whole shares.

Throughout this Report, each instance which refers to a number of shares of our common stock, refers to the number of shares of common stock after giving effect to the Reverse Split, unless otherwise indicated.

Patent Acquisitions

On April 16, 2013, the Company through its subsidiary, Relay IP, Inc. acquired a US patent for $350,000.

On June 4, 2013, in connection with the closing of a settlement and license agreement, the Company agreed to settle and release a certain defendant for past and future use of the Company’s patents. The defendant agreed to assign and transfer 3 US patents and rights valued at $1,000,000 in lieu of an additional cash payment.

In September 2013, the Company, in two transactions, acquired 14 US patents for a total purchase price of $1,100,000.

On November 13, 2013, the Company acquired four US patents for 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which the Company valued at $718,500 based on the fair market value of the stock issued.

On December 16, 2013, the Company acquired 15 US and 2 foreign patents from Delphi Technologies, Inc. for $1,700,000 pursuant to a Patent Purchase Agreement entered into on October 31, 2013 and Amended on December 16, 2013.

On December 22, 2013, in connection with a settlement and license agreement, the Company agreed to settle and release another defendant for past and future use of the Company’s patents, whereby the defendant agreed to assign and transfer 2 U.S. patents and rights to the Company. The Company valued the two patents at an aggregate of $700,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and present the financial statements of the Company and our wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries. In the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 made by management include, but are not limited to, estimating the useful lives of patent assets, the assumptions used to calculate fair value of warrants and options granted, realization of long-lived assets, deferred income tax assets and unrealized tax positions and business combination accounting.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.” Revenue is recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) all obligations have been substantially performed, (iii) amounts are fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability of amounts is reasonably assured.

The Company considers the revenue generated from a settlement and licensing agreement as one unit of accounting under ASC 605-25, “Multiple-Element Arrangements” as the delivered items do not have value to customers on a standalone basis, there are no undelivered elements and there is no general right of return relative to the license. Under ASC 605-25, the appropriate recognition of revenue is determined for the combined deliverables as a single unit of accounting and revenue is recognized upon delivery of the final elements, including the license for past and future use and the release.

Also, due to the fact that the settlement element and license element for past and future use are the Company’s major central business, the Company presents these two elements as one revenue category in its statement of operations. The Company does not expect to provide licenses that do not provide some form of settlement or release.

Accounting for Acquisitions

Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

-29-

Table of Contents

The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

·	Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;

·	Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and

·	Significant negative industry or economic trends.

Stock-based Compensation

Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company initially records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date.

Results of Operations

For the Three Months and Six Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

We generated revenues of $3,824,500 and $6,604,500 during the three months and six ended June 30, 2014, respectively as compared to $1,524,979 and $1,524,979 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, this represented an increase of $2,299,521 or 151% and $5,079,521 or 233%, respectively. Revenue for both the three and six months ended June 30 for both 2013 and 2014 was derived from the patent monetization business and the increase in revenue from 2013 to 2014 resulted from growth in the patent monetization business.

Table of Contents

Revenues from the issuance of licenses to certain of the Company’s patent portfolios accounted for 100% of our revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, revenues from five settlement and license agreement accounted for 100% of the Company’s revenues. The Company derived $3,824,500 in revenues from the one-time issuance of non-recurring, non-exclusive, non-assignable licenses to five different entities and their affiliates for certain of the Company’s patents. Licenses to two of those entities accounted for 98% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014

While the Company has a growing portfolio of patents, at this time, the Company expects that a significant portion of its future revenues will be based on one-time grants of similar non-recurring, non-exclusive, non-assignable licenses to a relatively small number of entities and their affiliates. Further, with the expected small number of firms with which the Company enters into license agreements, and the amount and timing of such license agreements, the Company also expects that its revenues may be highly variable from one period to the next.

Direct cost of revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 amounted to $1,753,833 and $2,864,412, respectively and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the direct cost of revenues amounted to $284,625 and $284,625, respectively. Direct costs of revenue include contingent payments to patent enforcement legal costs, patent enforcement advisors and inventors. Direct costs of revenue also includes various non-contingent costs associated with enforcing the Company’s patent rights and otherwise in developing and entering into settlement and licensing agreements that generate the Company’s revenue. Such costs include other legal fees and expenses, consulting fees, data management costs and other costs. Our gross profit margin during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately 54% and 57%, respectively and 81% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. We did not have a comparable revenue and cost of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as we were in our early stages of our current business.

We incurred operating expenses of $2,386,394 and $4,336,655 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 and $2,060,446 and $2,774,823 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, this represented an increase of $325,948 or 16% and $1,561,832 or 56%, respectively, though we did not have a comparable revenue and cost of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as we were in our early stages of our current business. These expenses primarily consisted of amortization of patents, general expenses, compensation to our officers, directors and employees, professional fees and consulting incurred in connection with the day-to-day operation of our business. The operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 2013, respectively, include non-cash expenses totaling $2,630,141 and $1,529,353, respectively. These non-cash operating expenses are discussed below.

The operating expenses consisted of the following:

	For the Three Months ended June 30, 2014		For the Three Months ended June 30, 2013		For the Six Months ended June 30, 2014		For the Six Months ended June 30, 2013

Amortization of patents (1)		938,679		475,680		1,392,326		475,680
Compensation and related taxes (2)		712,131		1,041,353		1,442,118		1,468,028

Total		2,386,394		2,060,446		4,336,655		2,774,823

	(1)	Amortization of patents: Amortization expenses were $1,392,326 and $475,680 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of $916,646 or 193%. We were in the early stages of our business during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and had fewer, smaller patent portfolios; as a result, the amortization of patents during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was lower. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded the amortization of its patent expenses as a Cost of Revenues, with such practice changed when the Company filed its 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. When the Company acquires patents and patent rights, the Company capitalizes those assets and amortizes the costs over the remaining useful lives of the assets. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2014, over 2013 period primarily reflects the amortization of patent assets acquired by the Company during 2013 in the second quarter of 2014.
	(2)	Compensation expense and related taxes: Compensation expense includes cash compensation and related payroll taxes and benefits, and also non-cash compensation. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, compensation expense and related payroll taxes were $1,442,118 and $1,468,028, respectively, a decrease of $25,910 or 2%. The decrease in compensation primarily reflects a decrease in stock based compensation related to vested options to our employees. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we recognized non-cash stock based compensation of $700,301 and $958,367, respectively.
	(3)	Consulting fees: For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we incurred consulting fees of $764,554 and $175,909, respectively, an increase of $588,645 or 335%. Consulting fees include both cash and non-cash related consulting fees primarily for investor relations and public relations services as well as other consulting services. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we recognized non-cash stock based consulting of $534,681 and $94,195, respectively.

(4)

Professional fees: For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, professional fees were $525,472 and $448,224, respectively, an increase of $77,248 or 17%. Professional fees primarily reflect the costs of professional outside accounting fees, legal fees and audit fees. The increase in professional fees for the six months ended June 30, 2014 over that of the prior period are predominately related to professional outside accounting fees and audit fees resulting from a substantially higher level of activity in the Company’s continuing patent acquisition and monetization operations and also a higher level of activity as a public company.

(5)

Other general and administrative expenses: For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, other general and administrative expenses were $212,185 and $206,982, respectively, an increase of $5,203 or 3%. General and administrative expenses reflect the other non-categorized operating costs of the Company and include expenses related to being a public company, rent, insurance, technology and other expenses incurred to support the operations of the Company. The increase in general and administrative costs in the six months ended June 30, 2014 over the six months ended June 30, 2013 resulted from an increase in these expenses in support of the continued development of our operations of the Company.

Operating Loss from Continuing Operations

We reported an operating loss from continuing operations of $315,727 and $596,567 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and $820,092 and $1,534,469, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, this represented a decrease of $504,365 or 60% and $937,902 or 60%, respectively, though we did not have a comparable revenue and cost of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as we were in our early stages of our current business. The decrease in operating loss was primarily attributable due to the increase in gross profit as a result of increased revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Other Income

Total other income (expense) was $(2,524) and $(2,296) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 and $120 and $180, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, this represented a decrease of $2,644 and $2,476, respectively.

Discontinued Operations

During June 2012, we decided to discontinue our exploration and potential development of uranium and vanadium minerals business and prior periods have been retroactively restated in our consolidated financial statements and related footnotes to conform to this presentation. Subsequently, in November 2012, we decided to discontinue our real estate business and we intend to sell and dispose our remaining real estate holdings during fiscal 2013. We are now engage in the acquisition, development and monetization of intellectual property through both the prosecution and licensing of our own patent portfolio, the acquisition of additional intellectual property or partnering with others to defend and enforce their patent rights.

The following table indicates selected financial data of our discontinued operations of our uranium and vanadium minerals business and real estate business.

Net Loss

We reported an operating loss from continuing operations of $318,251 and $598,863 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and $810,499 and $1,416,035 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, this represented a decrease of $492,248 or 61% and $817,172 or 58%, respectively, though we did not have a comparable revenue and cost of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as we were in our early stages of our current business. The decrease in operating loss was primarily attributable due to the increase in gross profit as a result of increased revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. At June 30, 2014, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balances totaled $6,498,035 compared to $3,610,262 at December 31, 2013. The increase in the cash balances of $2,887,773 resulted primarily from cash received during the six months period from revenues generated from patent enforcement activities and from the private placement closed on May 1, 2014, the proceeds of which exceeded the initial payment for the entities acquired on May 2, 1014. We collected revenues of $3,749,500 during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and recorded an accounts receivable of $75,000 at June 30, 2014.

Net working capital declined by $2,853,980 to $999,853 at June 30, 2014 from $3,853,834 at December 31, 2013. The decrease in net working capital resulted primarily from the addition of notes payable related to the acquisition of entities closed on May 2, 2014, offset by an increase in cash and receivables of $2,692,773.

Cash provided by operating activities was $2,399,586 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 versus cash used in operating activities of $693,446 during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Cash Used in investing activities was $5,100,800 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 versus cash provided of $175,570 in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Cash used during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily the purchases of patents and patents rights in transactions entered into on May 2, 2014 and June 17, 2014.

Cash provided by financing activities was $5,588,988 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 versus $5,055,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 resulted from the private placement of securities issued on May 1, 2014.

Management believes that the balance of cash and cash equivalents of $6,498,035 at June 30, 2014 is sufficient to continue to fund the Company’s current operations at least through October 2015. However, the Company’s operations are subject to various risks and there is no assurance that changes in the operations of the Company will not require the Company to raise additional cash sooner than planned in order to continue uninterrupted operations. In that event, the Company would seek to raise additional capital from the sale of the Company’s securities, from borrowing or from other sources. Should the Company seek to raise capital from the issuances of its securities, such transactions would be subject to the risks of the market for the Company’s securities at the time.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures 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.

With respect to the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s management has concluded that certain disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2014 due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. However, to the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals. We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the significant deficiency identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.

Management is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to insure that information required to be disclosed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management acknowledges the existence of this problem, and intends to develop procedures to address them to the extent possible given limitations in financial and manpower resources. While management is working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented.

Changes in Internal Controls.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

In the ordinary course of business, we actively pursue legal remedies to enforce our intellectual property rights and to stop unauthorized use of our technology. Other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, we know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered beneficial shareholder are an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to us.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We have recently consummated the acquisition of certain assets, and in connection therewith, we issued three promissory notes and filed two certificates of designation with the Secretary of State of Nevada.

In connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock and the PIPE Warrants, holders of the Company’s Common Stock will experience immediate and substantial dilution upon the conversion of such preferred stock and the exercise of such warrants.

In connection with the transaction contemplated in this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company issued 1,023,579 shares of Series A Preferred, 391,000 shares of Series B Preferred and PIPE Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 255,895 shares of Common Stock. Upon conversion of the preferred Stock and the warrants, you will experience dilution. We currently have 5,613,902 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Assuming full conversion of the preferred stock and the exercise of the PIPE Warrants, the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding will increase 1,641,628 shares from 5,613,902 shares of Common Stock outstanding to 7,284,376 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

The rights of the holders of the Company’s Common Stock will be subordinate to our creditors and to the holders of our preferred stock in a liquidation and the Series A Certificate of Designation contains certain covenants against the incurrence of indebtedness which could affect our business.

In connection with the transaction contemplated in this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company issued three promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (which increased to $6,000,000 as such promissory notes were not paid in full on or prior to June 30, 2014) and preferred stock and warrants. The promissory notes each mature on October 30, 2014.

Accordingly, the holders of Common Stock will rank junior to such indebtedness and to the liquidation rights of the holders of our Series A Preferred stockholders as well as to other non-equity claims on us and our assets, including claims in our liquidation.

Additionally, the Series A Preferred Stock places restrictions on our ability to incur indebtedness or engage in any transactions, subject to the voting right referred to above in the description of the Series A Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock.

The Company is required to pay dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock; if we fail to pay such dividends in cash and pay such dividends in shares of our Common Stock then the holders of our Common Stock will be further diluted.

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to annual dividends at a rate of 8% based on a value of $6.50 per share, payable quarterly commencing on January 31, 2015. If the Company fails to pay such dividends in cash and pays the holders of Series A Preferred Stock their annual dividends in stock, you will experience further dilution.

In July 2014, share of our common stock have been approved for uplisting to The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC.

Table of Contents

Our common stock may be delisted from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC if we fail to comply with continued listing standards.

Our common stock is currently traded on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC under the symbol “MARA.” If we fail to meet any of the continued listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, our common stock could be delisted from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC. These continued listing standards include specifically enumerated criteria, such as:

●	a $1.00 minimum closing bid price;
●	stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million;
●	500,000 shares of publicly-held common stock with a market value of at least $1 million;
●	300 round-lot stockholders; and
●	compliance with NASDAQ’s corporate governance requirements, as well as additional or more stringent criteria that may be applied in the exercise of NASDAQ’s discretionary authority.

We could fail in future financing efforts or be delisted from NASDAQ if we fail to receive stockholder approval when needed.

We are required under the NASDAQ rules to obtain stockholder approval for any issuance of additional equity securities that would comprise more than 20% of the total shares of our common stock outstanding before the issuance of such securities sold at a discount to the greater of book or market value in an offering that is not deemed to be a “public offering” by NASDAQ. Funding of our operations and acquisitions of assets may require issuance of additional equity securities that would comprise more than 20% of the total shares of our common stock outstanding, but we might not be successful in obtaining the required stockholder approval for such an issuance. If we are unable to obtain financing due to stockholder approval difficulties, such failure may have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue operations.
