PART I


ITEM 1.  BUSINESS


Business Overview


We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 30, 1999 under the original name of The AmericanWest.com, Inc.  Pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger dated as of March 11, 2003, we merged with and acquired the assets of WordLogic Corporation, a Delaware corporation.  In anticipation of the closing of the merger, we changed our name to WordLogic Corporation.  WordLogic Corporation, the public Nevada Company, was the surviving corporation after the merger.


We are a software company that develops, markets, licenses and sells advanced predictive text solutions designed to accelerate the entry and retrieval of text and information for personal computing devices focusing on smart phones and tablets as well as hybrid touchscreen devices, wearables and car systems.  As efficient text input becomes more important due to the rapid expansion of application for SMS, email, social networking, and search, the Company seeks to provide a natural input method that could reduce finger movements by over 50%, supply accurate multiple word predictions in just a gesture, and help users to control their input and enhance their communication.


The Company anticipates that more and more enterprise users will be relying on mobile and touchscreen devices and its technology will allow those enterprises to remain efficient and accurate.  The Company's patent-pending data structures, algorithms and powerful prediction and Reach engines which are embodied in the iKnowU® keyboard application represent a new method for text input that is not solely focused on typing with speed and accuracy.  Rather, as people input, search, text, email, and compose, the Company seeks to help individuals communicate and control their message, enhancing accuracy while using semantics in order to help users create meaning and find related information based on that meaning.


The Companys Reach technology provides advertising search to create new revenue opportunities through partnerships with online deal consolidator and advertisers.  The technology provides location-based marketing messages in a timely and efficient manner while remaining unobtrusive and maintaining privacy of the user.  With Reach the user never needs to switch between apps or exit the message compose screen to access relevant information.


Business Development  


On January 9, 2007, we developed a new text entry/text messaging input solution for smartphones utilizing our patent pending prediction engine.  This new solution for smartphones is more efficient, user friendly and provides a more compelling text entry interface for users than our existing solutions.  In addition, the functionality and configuration of the technology can be expanded and/or modified to suit a user's or manufacturers' specific needs.


On March 15, 2007, we entered into a worldwide non-exclusive license with Cre8txt Limited of Bolton, United Kingdom.  Cre8txt has developed a keyboard which utilizes the skills of people who already use SMS (Short Message Service) texting on mobile phones.  Texting has become popular in Europe, North America and Asia.  Text message specific abbreviations have been developed which allow certain, experienced users to actually type text faster using a numerical keyboard layout rather than using a traditional computer QWERTY keyboard.  The Cre8txt keyboard is similar to a mobile phone keypad, and will utilize the WordLogic(TM) predictive text technology.  The WordLogic Prediction Engine is a powerful software tool which will predict text selected from a database of frequently used words, and will also be capable of translating SMS Text language into full text.  On July 5, 2007, we delivered the first 1,000 units of our software to Cre8txt Limited of Bolton, UK.


In March 2011, a new finger touchscreen prototype of the Company's WordLogic Predictive Keyboard was nominated for a CTIA Wireless 2011 Emerging Technology Award.  The CTIA E-Tech Award category covers new or yet-to-be introduced products that enhance productivity and organization.


In February 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with RPX Corporation (“RPX”), for RPX to license the Company’s advanced predictive input software patents.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company received a $5 million non-dilutive cash payment, while retaining full ownership of its patent portfolio.  RPX Corporation is a provider of patent risk solutions, offering defensive buying, acquisition syndication, patent intelligence and advisory services.  By acquiring patents, RPX helps to mitigate and manage patent risk for its growing client network.


In October 2012, the iKnowU® keyboard application for Android powered devices was released.  It leverages the Company’s state-of-the-art patented technology, delivering the most advanced keyboard automation solution available.


In January 2013, the Company released its new predictive text solution, WordLogic for Business, allowing organizations to improve productivity through accurate, faster and more consistent text entry across the workforce.

In May 2013, the company announced Reach patent-pending technology that understands the context of what youre typing and instantly gives you access to the relevant app or data source to retrieve and share information.  Users are then able to reach into these other sources and pull key information into the message youre composing.  Whether writing a text, email, IM or social update WordLogic Reach works seamlessly meaning that the user never needs to switch between apps or exit the message compose screen. 

Reach was awarded CTIA 2014 Top 5 show floor pick by Mobile World Live.


In November 2013, the Company announced it will release Reach a technology delivers precise and timely context-based and location-aware marketing messages while users are still working in the iKnowU® predictive keyboard, superseding the need to exit core applications.  Users no longer have to navigate through numerous applications to obtain information such as directions, restaurant listings, ratings, reviews, travel information and latest deals near their location.

The Company’s technology is unique in that it encompasses both the desktop PC and mobile device platforms.  This patented technology can improve the way that mobile device users interact with their devices and open the door to new revenue streams as well as provide a competitive advantage against rival companies.


The Company also sells its patented predictive text technology, WordLogic for Business that brings text and phrase prediction to the workplace in one cost-effective solution.  With over ten years’ experience, the Company understands the need for enterprises to offer their workers the ability to rapidly and seamlessly enter industry or company-specific words and sentences into a multitude of devices from PC’s to mobile phones and tablets.  WordLogic for Business is optimized to run on Android tablets and smartphones as well as desktop PCs.  It can also be used with custom touchscreen devices, such as touchscreen PDAs used by couriers and delivery companies.  WordLogic for Business automatically syncs across all devices currently in use and delivers a consistent, high-quality experience for the end-user, irrespective of the device or platform they are using.  Companies seeking to adopt predictive text can build WordLogic for Business into their existing IT infrastructure using WordLogic's simple SDK.


Reach the patent-pending technology provides context-aware search including advertising search within every app you are working in through the WordLogic predictive keyboard, superseding the need to exit core applications.  Users will no longer have to navigate through numerous applications to obtain information such as directions, restaurant listings, ratings and reviews, travel information and other contextual data from Google or other mobile and content sites.


This unique ability to deliver precise and timely context-based and location-aware marketing messages gives WordLogic an advantage in the massive global pay-per-click advertising market.  WordLogic Reach is truly the first technology to solve the problem of monitoring keystrokes in real-time in order to return contextual and location-based marketing messages in a timely and efficient manner while remaining unobtrusive and maintaining privacy of the user.  Reach leverages our patented intelligent keyboard to provide advertisers, marketers and handset makers with technology that can potentially drive massive incremental advertising and marketing revenue straight from mobile or tablet touch screen keyboards without the need for other applications or external technologies.


Currently, WordLogic is developing a version of the award winning iKnowU® keyboard that integrates Reach Advertising Search to create new revenue opportunities through partnerships with online deal consolidator and providers that offers thousands of local deals covering hundreds of cities in North America.  Using WordLogic Reach, allows users existing texts to be analyzed for context information, indicating what are they talking about, as well as the location of where they are talking about it.  For example, when users ask about doing a spa day in Whistler, Reach can show them relevant information about deals related to what they are discussing with their friends.  With a network of the most popular deal sites gathering over 30,000 offers per month, Reach users will be able to directly access money-saving deals within their email or text messaging applications.  These partnerships give way to incredible revenue opportunities for WordLogic by receiving revenue up to 10% of each deal purchased and revenues per advertisement viewed, while allowing users to enjoy deals that might not have been taken advantage of previously.  WordLogic is expanding their portfolio of partnerships, creating unique opportunities for revenue growth and extraordinarily intuitive accessibility for users.


Current projects in development include an iOS version that will work in a custom messaging and note-taking application.

WordLogic recognizes the underserved Apple device market when it pertains to predictive technologies and looks to expand its market to iPads and iPhones.  Also WordLogic is integrating its predictive technologies into voice recognition software to allow for phrase and context aware search by talking to a device.  WordLogic realizes that this is a significant market for auto drivers as state laws ban use of mobile devices with your hands and eye gazing.  WordLogic is also exploring using their tightly constructed set of algorithms and data structures allowing it to operate quickly and efficiently in wearable computing.  Combined with the ability to predict not only words but letters, n-grams including up to 5 word sequences of language that can be defined and predicted better than ever before.  Other current development efforts include adding more language dictionaries to the iKnowU® product including Mandarin, Japanese, and Arabic.

Product Availability


The Company released iKnowU® to support Android-based devices, as Android became a market leader with a more than 75% share by the end of 2012 (Source: Business Insider 2012).  The iKnowU® is available to download from the Google Play store for $1.99, with a free time-limited trial version also available.


The Company also brings the incredible power of its patented predictive text technology, released its new predictive text solution, WordLogic for Business, allowing organizations to improve productivity through accurate, faster and more consistent text entry across the workforce.  Organizations seeking to adopt predictive text can build WordLogic for Business into their existing IT infrastructure using WordLogic's simple Software Development Kits.  WordLogic for Business is available worldwide to businesses of all sizes as either a fully-hosted service from WordLogic or installed and internally hosted on the customer's systems and is available in multiple languages.


Target Customers


The Company’s target customers will likely include Tier 1 wireless operators in the U.S. as well as smartphone original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).  In the telecommunications industry, a Tier 1 wireless carrier entails a company that is the sole operator of its network, indicating that this provider offers a direct connection to the networks it uses to deliver voice and data as well as to the Internet.  AT&T Inc. (T-NYSE), Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ-NYSE), Sprint Nextel Corp. (S-NYSE), and T-Mobile USA, Inc. are examples of Tier 1 operators.  Conversely, Tier 2 companies may procure a portion of their networks from the Tier 1 carriers, and Tier 3 operators are wholly reliant on the networks of the Tier 1 and Tier 2 firms.  In addition to targeting the Tier 1 carriers, the Company intends to market its technology to smartphone OEMs.  Examples of smartphone OEMs include Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Apple, HTC Corp., Huawei, Nokia and LG Electronics Inc. Customers this size may have the potential to apply the Company’s technology in up to 300 million units annually.


The Company will also be targeting its enterprise solution WordLogic for Business to individual corporations, as well as enterprise software manufacturers such as Oracle, Microsoft and SAP.


The launch of iKnowU® with Reach will be targeted at the current consumer android market of 2.5 billion total units in 2014.



Marketing Strategy


The Company designed and implemented a new logo and website design in 2012.  In October of 2012, the Company soft-launched its first Android product iKnowU® on Google Play and created a specifically branded site iknowu.net.  The Company started marketing campaigns and promotion of the iKnowU® product via banner advertising campaigns on numerous mobile and internet portals.

Growth Strategy


In addition to further developing its current product offering, much of the Company’s strategy for growth going forward is based on its U.S. and European patents.  As well as leveraging its intellectual property, the Company seeks to increase emphasis on its predictive text platform, which the Company believes can offer predictive input with a broad range of Internet-enabled control and communication applications.  


Other projects in development include expanding and enhancing the Company’s retail product offerings.  Including the launch of iKnowU® with Reach platform in 2014 pursuing an advertising revenue mode that will drive revenues and downloads in 2014.


WordLogics patented approach to contextual natural language prediction is the most powerful one available on the market today.  It’s has a tightly constructed set of algorithms and data structures allowing it to operate quickly and efficiently in form factors that its competitors cannot operate in giving it more range of uses as devices once again turn smaller (wearable computing).


Ultimately, the Company believes that it may become an acquisition target for larger companies within the technology sector due to the breadth of its patent portfolio and the novel characteristics of its technology.


The Industry


Smartphones and mobile devices have become a necessity for many professional and non-professional individuals.  Touchscreens, email, 3G, 4G, and power-packed mobile applications have resulted in considerable growth of new devices.  To this extent, the Company estimates that nearly 75% of phones shipped in the U.S. contain either a QWERTY or touchscreen keyboard.  Over 1 billion smartphones were sold in 2013 and could see up to a 20% increase in 2014.


Likewise, the PC market represents billions of dollars of equipment that uses text input and millions of consumers who could benefit from refined input and search options.  Although not double digit growth in 2014, 300 million desktop PCs, portable computers, and mini-notebooks are expected to ship to consumers, The Company may be of value to PC manufacturers that are seeking innovative advancements to the PC experience in order to remain competitive.  Likewise, versions of the Company's technology can be incorporated into the growing number of tablet computers entering the marketplace (estimated at over 285 million for 2014).


Further, the information technology (IT) industry is experiencing several related trends: (1) rapid growth of mobile devices; (2) tablets gaining in popularity over netbooks; (3) smartphones becoming more advanced; (4) enterprise workers seeking to use their phones for both business and personal tasks; and (5) increasing developer activity online.  Accordingly, there will likely be even greater emphasis on mobile apps going forward, particularly for tablets, and targeted toward enterprise.  In many cases, large enterprises are expected to launch apps specific for their workforces, as these companies seek to reduce costs and leverage time and cost efficiencies (Source: The New Wave of App Development from TechNewsWorld , February 1, 2011).


Outsell, Inc., a research and advisory firm for the publishing and information industries, estimates that the global information industry is valued at $506 billion with strong gains coming from web search.  The Company believes that there is considerable unmet need within this market for improved enterprise search tools and, consequently, an opportunity for our technology operating as either a front-end application or as a standalone product.


Wearable technology market revenue was $4.3 billion as of 2012 and is expected to reach to $14.0 billion by 2018, growing at an estimated CAGR of 18.93 % from 2013 to 2018 and provide a significant opportunity for the Company’s technologies because of the structure of the code and small memory footprint.


Competition


The Company believes that speed, ease of use, phrase prediction and a relatively small footprint are advantages of its technology that could further establish the Company as a provider of text input and manipulation software, particularly for mobile phones.  However, as the demand for text-savvy phones accelerates, competition among text input solution providers is also increasing.  Introducing technology and user interface enhancements is crucial to maintaining a competitive advantage.


Altogether, the predictive technology landscape is considered to be relatively competitive.  Yet, within the refined search area, the Company believes that there are fewer competitors because although many developers would like to build better predictive text technologies, many do not possess the existing technology and code to do so.



10






We compete with companies such as SwiftKey and Nuance that offer keyboard solutions that are not as robust as the company offerings but have significant market share among handset manufacturers and carriers.  In 2012, SwiftKey spent more days as Google Play’s No.1 paid download than any other app, validating the global market for better text input for mobile devices.  As we increase marketing and the awareness of the iKnowU product we are poised to significantly capture our competitors clients and new customers.

We compete with companies such as SwiftKey and Nuance that offer keyboard solutions that are not as robust as the company offerings but have significant market share among handset manufacturers and carriers.  In 2012, SwiftKey spent more days as Google Play’s No.1 paid download than any other app, validating the global market for better text input for mobile devices.  As we increase marketing and the awareness of the iKnowU® product we are poised to significantly capture our competitor’s clients and new customers.


The Company’s Reach technology is a market differentiator that provides significant advertising revenue opportunities above and beyond the competition’s business models of licensing and consumer purchases.


WordLogic’s patented approach to contextual natural language prediction also provides a significant advantage to the wearable computing market due to the technologies’ approach to language patterns and small memory footprint and CPU requirements.


Government Regulation

 

Because we sell products through the Internet, we may be subject to rules and regulations around the world, which will affect our business.  The laws and regulations that govern Internet commerce change rapidly.  Also, because we carry on business in Canada, we are subject to laws regarding employment, taxes and other regulatory issues for our Canadian operations.  The following laws and regulations applicable to Internet commerce and are relevant to our business:



Privacy Law.  The state of privacy law is unsettled, and rapidly changing.  Current and proposed federal, state and foreign privacy regulations and other laws restricting the collection, use and disclosure of personal information could limit our ability to use the information in our databases to generate revenues.  In late 1998, COPPA was enacted, mandating that measures be taken to safeguard minors under the age of 13.  The FTC promulgated regulations implementing COPPA on October 21, 1999, which became effective on April 21, 2000.  The principal COPPA requirement is that individually identifiable information about minors under the age of 13 not be collected, used or displayed without first obtaining informed parental consent that is verifiable in light of present technology.

 

The FTC final regulations create a “sliding scale” of permissible methods for obtaining such consent.  Consent for internal use of the individually identifiable information of children under the age of 13 can be obtained through e-mail plus an additional safeguard, such as confirming consent with a delayed e-mail, telephone call, or letter.  Obtaining verifiable consent from a child’s parent to share that child’s information with a third party or enable the child to publicly distribute the information by, for example, allowing unrestricted access to a chat room or message board is significantly more burdensome.  While the temporary “sliding scale implementation was due to expire on April 21, 2002, on October 31, 2001, the FTC extended the implementation period through April 21, 2005.  On April 21, 2005, the “sliding scale” mechanism was extended indefinitely.

 

The FTC has required that parental consent for such higher risk activities be verified by more secure methods than e-mail, such as a credit card in connection with a transaction, print-and-sign forms, toll-free numbers staffed by trained operators, or digital signatures.  Complying with the new requirements is costly and may dissuade some of our customers from using our products.  While we will attempt to be fully compliant with the FTC requirements, our efforts may not be entirely successful.  In addition, at times, we rely upon outside vendors to maintain data-collection software, and there can be no assurance that they will at all times comply with our instructions to comply with COPPA.  If our methods of complying with COPPA are inadequate, we may face litigation with the FTC or individuals, which would adversely affect our business.



11





 

Moreover, we have posted a privacy policy pertaining to all users and visitors to our web site.  By doing so, we will subject ourselves to the jurisdiction of the FTC.  Should any of our business practices be found to differ from our privacy policy, we could be subject to sanctions and penalties from the FTC.  It is also possible that users or visitors could try to recover damages in a civil action as well.

 

The European Union recently enacted its own privacy regulations that may result in limits on the collection and use of certain user information.  The laws governing the Internet, however, remain largely unsettled, even in areas where there has been some legislative action.  It may take years to determine whether and how existing laws such as those governing intellectual property, privacy, libel and commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws, both in the United States and abroad, that may impose additional burdens on companies conducting business on the Internet.  Furthermore, the Federal Trade Commission has recently investigated the disclosure of personal identifying information obtained from individuals by Internet companies.  Evolving areas of law that are relevant to our business include privacy law, regulation on what websites contain, and sales and use tax.  Because of this rapidly evolving and uncertain regulatory environment, we cannot predict how these laws and regulations might affect our business.  In addition, these uncertainties make it difficult to ensure compliance with the laws and regulations governing the Internet.  These laws and regulations could harm us by subjecting us to liability or forcing us to change how we do business.


Conformance to E-Commerce Statutory Requirements for Formation of Contracts.  We intend to conduct e-commerce on our web site, and through affiliated web sites.  The applicable law on online formation of contracts has been unsettled and is evolving.  On June 30, 2000, the federal government enacted the “E-Sign” statute, which in limited cases permits online formation of contracts.  Similarly, on January 1, 2000, California adopted a standard version of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”), which also permits electronic signatures and record-keeping for certain types of contracts.  We attempt to comply with these laws, but there is no guarantee that we will be successful.  Judicial interpretation of the applicability of these laws could result in customer contracts being set aside or modified.  In that case, our e-commerce revenue could be materially adversely affected.


Sales Tax.  The tax treatment of goods sold over the Internet is currently unsettled.  A number of proposals have been made at the state and local level that would impose additional taxes on the sale of goods through the Internet.  Such proposals, if adopted, could substantially impair the growth of electronic commerce and could adversely affect our opportunity to derive financial benefit from electronic commerce.  While the Internet Tax Freedom Act (ITFA) has placed a moratorium on new state and local taxes on Internet commerce, the tax moratorium expired on November 1, 2003, and has not been re-enacted.  On November 1, 2007, the "Internet Tax Freedom Act Amendment Acts of 2007" was signed into law.  It extends the prohibitions against multiple and discriminatory taxes on electronic commerce until November 1, 2014.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES


On June 23, 2010, we entered into a lease agreement for office space located at 1130 West Pender St., Suite 230, Vancouver, BC Canada V6E 4A4. Since that time, we have not sought to move or change our office site.  Our telephone number remains (604) 257-3600. Under the lease, we currently pay a total of $6,954 CAD per month on a month-to-month basis for 2,113 ft of corporate office space.  The space we lease is utilized for general main office purposes.


On January 15, 2013, we also entered into a lease agreement for new office space located at 25 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10004 U.S.A.  Under the lease, we currently pay a total of $1,300 USD per month on a month-to-month basis for 80 ft of corporate office space.  The space we lease is utilized for general office purposes.


On July 10, 2012, we also entered into a lease agreement for new office space located at 3820 Cessna Drive, Suite 190, Richmond, BC Canada V7B 0A2. Under the lease, we currently pay a total of $2,172 CAD per month on a month-to-month basis for 934 ft of corporate office space.  The space we lease is utilized for general office purposes. Additional space may be required as we expand our operations. We do not foresee any significant difficulties in obtaining any required additional space. We do not own any real estate.


ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


In January 2011, Mr. Knaven, a former officer and director of the Company, commenced a complaint to British Columbia’s Employment Standards Branch against the Company (the “ESB Complaint”) alleging that he was owed unpaid wages.  In October 2011, Mr. Knaven initiated two further legal proceedings against the Company in B.C. Supreme Court (the “Supreme Court Actions”), in which he advanced further complaints in respect of claims for shares and interest, a claim for wrongful dismissal, and further claims for general and unspecified damages.


Regarding the ESB Complaint, on October 24, 2012 the Company applied successfully for a ruling placing that complaint in abeyance, to be dealt with by the B.C. Supreme Court rather than the ESB.  In accordance with that ruling, Mr. Knaven on November 9, 2011 delivered a proposed amendment to his Notice of Civil Claim in one of the Supreme Court Actions.  The quantified portion of Mr. Knaven’s claims totals approximately $261,752. He also seeks general and unspecified damages which are unquantified. Notwithstanding, $175,310 had been held in trust by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, the subject of a garnishment (See also Note 3).  On July 23, 2013 WordLogic obtained a court order releasing $22,124.83 of those funds.   


The Company vigorously contests the claims, and has filed Responses and Counterclaims regarding all of the above referenced disputes.  The Counterclaims name Mr. Knaven and others as defendants by counterclaim. Mr. Knaven has been served and has filed Responses disputing and denying the Counterclaims.


In November 2013 the Company settled certain claims by Mr. Knaven and certain counterclaims by the Company as against Mr. Knaven.  Following the settlement, the parties discontinued the claim and counterclaim as against each other, and Mr. Knaven withdrew a complaint he had made to the British Columbia’s Employment Standards Branch.  In consideration for the settlement, the Company released $155,328 from the B.C. Supreme Court ordered garnishment to Mr. Knaven and issued 500,000 common shares of the Company valued at $57,500 to him.  As result of the settlement, the Company recorded loss of $24,710.  




13






In the proceedings referenced above, the Company had filed a counterclaim naming Mr. Knaven along with certain other defendants by counterclaim. Those other defendants by counterclaim have not yet been served. They include Mr. Mike Flom who appears to have been involved in assisting Mr. Knaven in formulating and advancing Knaven’s various claims against the Company.


In addition, although Mr. Flom has neither threatened nor served any legal proceedings of his own, Mr. Flom had, during 2012, asserted that the Company owed him a “termination” payment and related sums totaling in excess of $500,000, and the issuance of shares.  The Company has put Mr. Flom on notice that it does not accept those assertions.

 

In January 2013, the Company received notice from the former Chief Operating Officer Paul Silverstein, threatening a “whistle blower” claim pursuant to the US Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank legislation, to be commenced in the State of New York, alleging he was forced to resign because he was investigating expenses incurred by the Chief Executive Officer.  The Company denies the allegations, and further maintains the matter is to be resolved by arbitration. Accordingly on March 8, 2013 it commenced an arbitration in British Columbia, Canada to resolve the issues.  The Company also appointed an independent director to conduct an investigation into the allegations raised by Silverstein to report to the Board of Directors on the outcome of his investigation, together with recommendations. The report was delivered to the Board of Directors on March 13, 2013. In response to an objection to jurisdiction raised by the former COO, the arbitrator commenced an initial process to determine his jurisdiction and ruled in favour of WordLogic.

 

On April 2, 2013, a complaint was filed with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by Silverstein against the Company in regards to certain claims asserted under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act by Mr. Silverstein related to allegations of fraud and the termination of Silverstein as President and CEO of the Corporation. On October 3, 2013, the Corporation filed counterclaims against Silverstein related to his misconduct in the last month of his employment and upon his resignation.  The Corporation vigorously denies Silverstein's allegations and will aggressively defend the claim and pursue its claims against Silverstein

 

On December 30, 2013, the Company reached an out of court settlement with Paul Silverstein regarding the previously disclosed claim filed by Mr. Silverstein and the counter claim filed by the Company. The settlement includes no admission of liability by either party. In consideration for the settlement, the Company issued 4 million warrants to purchase 4 million common shares of the Company to Mr. Paul Silverstein.  Fair value of the warrants was estimated using Black-Sholes pricing model on settlement date.  The Company recorded loss of $773,644 on this settlement.


On June 28, 2013, Biller Communications (“Biller”), a former consulting firm of the Company entered into a settlement agreement on the pending litigation whereby the Company paid Biller $17,000 in full and final settlement of the matter.  This is a significantly reduced amount from the amount of $30,465 plus interest from May, 2012 and costs sued for in the complaint.   The Company agreed to pay this amount in order to avoid any additional costly litigation, including depositions, court appearances and trial.  The settlement amount was recorded as loss on legal settlement as of December 31, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


As at December 31, 2013, the Company’s cash and current asset balance was $176,055 compared to $1,758,735 as at December 31, 2012. The decrease in current assets of $1,582,680 is attributed to a decrease of $519,814 in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $142,073 in restricted cash, a decrease of $865,077 in investments, a decrease of $15,024 in GST/HST refund receivable, a decrease of $14 in employee advances, a decrease of $387 in interest receivable, and a decrease in prepaid expenses of $40,291.

 

As at December 31, 2013, the Company had current and total liabilities of $802,383 compared with current and total liabilities of $487,972 as at December 31, 2012. The increase in total liabilities of $314,411 is attributed to an increase of $320,804 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, an increase of $25,555 in indebtedness to related parties, and a decrease of $31,948 in accrued interest.


As at December 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of $626,328 compared with a working capital of $1,270,763 as at December 31, 2012.  The decrease in working capital was primarily attributed to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, investments and prepaid expenses and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.


Cashflow from Operating Activities


During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company used $2,321,886 of cash for operating activities compared to the generation of $1,835,245 of cash for operating activities during the same period ended December 31, 2012. The change in net cash generated in operating activities is primarily attributed to a decrease in revenue from patents licensing. 


Cashflow from Investing Activities


During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received $865,077 of cash for investing activities compared to cash used $936,123 for investing activities during the same period ended December 31, 2012. The change in net cash generated in investing activities is primarily attributed to proceeds of investments in term deposits. 


Cashflow from Financing Activities


During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received $790,055 of cash from financing activities compared to cash used of $137,408 for the same period ended December 31, 2012.  The change in cash flows from financing activities is primarily attributed to a decrease in repayment of other promissory notes, net of increase in sale of common shares, and increase of proceed from stock options and warrants exercised.


Going Concern


We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.


Future Financings


We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our operations and other activities.

Critical Accounting Policies


Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to:


-

Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period; and


-

Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense.


The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11. The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the Board determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs. Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update)” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.




18






In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02. This update amends ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment and permits an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect.  These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors


WordLogic Corporation


(A Development Stage Company)


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of WordLogic Corporation (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the twelve month periods then ended and for the period from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2013.  The financial statements for the period from May 27, 2003 (Inception) to December 31, 2006 were audited by other auditors whose report expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.


We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 WordLogic Corporation (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods described above 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 consolidated financial statements, the Company has accumulated net loss since inception, has used significant cash in support of its operating activities and, based upon current operating levels, requires additional capital or significant reconfiguration of its operations to sustain its operations for the foreseeable future, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

WORDLOGIC CORPORATION

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements



1.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND CONTINUANCE OF BUSINESS


Nature of Operations


WordLogic Corporation (the “Company” or “WLGC”), formerly TheAmericanWest.com, Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 30, 1999. The Company’s primary business is the development and commercialization of data entry software for handheld computing devices. Its headquarters is located in Vancouver, BC, Canada.


Reverse Merger


On March 11, 2003, WLGC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with WordLogic Corporation (“WCPC”), a private British Columbia, Canada corporation. On May 27, 2003, WLGC issued 19,016,658 shares of its common stock in exchange for all 19,016,658 outstanding common shares of WCPC, and the two companies merged. This merger has been treated as a recapitalization of WCPC, with WLGC as the surviving legal entity. Since WLGC had, prior to the recapitalization, minimal assets and no operations, the recapitalization has been accounted for as the sale of 2,907,006 shares of WCPC’s common stock for the net assets of WLGC. Following the closing, WLGC remained the surviving corporation with 21,923,664 common shares outstanding, of which the former shareholders of WCPC owned approximately 86.74%.


In connection with the closing of the Agreement, WLGC changed its name to “WordLogic Corporation” (formerly TheAmericanWest.com, Inc.) and changed its OTCBB symbol under which its common stock trades on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board to “WLGC”. WLGC’s directors resigned their positions and the executive officers of WCPC were appointed to fill the vacancies created by the resignations, which resulted in a change in control.


Going Concern


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses prior to the current period, has used significant cash in support of its operating activities and, based upon current operating levels, requires additional capital or significant reconfiguration of its operations to sustain its operations for the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2013 the Company has incurred losses of $24,151,280 since inception. These factors, among others, raise significant doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability. The Company’s management intends to satisfy cash requirements with working capital acquired in exchange for debt and/or common stock. There is no assurance the cash infusions will continue in the future or that the Company will achieve profitable operations.


The Company’s future success will be dependent upon its ability to create and provide effective and competitive software products that meet customers changing requirements; including the effective use of leading technologies to continue to enhance its current products and to influence and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes on a timely and cost-effective basis.


Development Stage


Following its reverse merger on May 27, 2003, the Company entered the development stage and became a development stage enterprise.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


a)

Basis of Presentation


These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.



F-13

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements



b)

Basis of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WordLogic Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary 602531 British Columbia Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), an entity incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Subsidiary does not have any operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


c)

Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected.


d)

Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all investment instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Investment securities with original or remaining maturities of more than three months but less than one year are considered short-term investments. Auction rate securities with original or remaining maturities of more than three months are considered short-term investments even if they are subject to re-pricing within three months. The Company was not invested in any auction rate securities as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Investment securities held with the intent to reinvest or hold for longer than a year, or with remaining maturities of one year or more, are considered long-term investments. The Company’s cash equivalents at December 31, 2012 consisted of term deposits with original maturities of three months or less, and are therefore classified as cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash and term deposits of $61,791 and $581,605 at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.


e)

 Short and Long-term Investments


The Company accounts for its short-term and long-term investments in accordance with ASC 320, Investments-Debt and Equity Securities. The Company’s short and long-term investments in securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains or losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary, if any, on available-for-sale securities are reported in other income, net. The Company reviews the securities for impairments considering current factors including the economic environment, market conditions, and the operational performance and other specific factors relating to the businesses underlying the securities. The Company records impairment charges equal to the amount that the carrying value of its available-for-sale securities exceeds the estimated fair market value of the securities as of the evaluation date. The fair value for publicly held securities is determined based on quoted market prices as of the evaluation date. In computing realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, the Company determines cost based on amounts paid, including direct costs such as commissions, to acquire the security using the specific identification method. The Company did not have any short or long-term investments in securities at December 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012.


The Company’s investment consisted of certified term deposit with original maturities of more than three months.  The Company realized interest income based on term deposit rate agreed upon with Royal Bank of Canada.  The company had term deposits totaling US $50,000 and $915,077 at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The company has recorded interest receivable of $128 and $515 at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.


See Note 2.m for further information on fair value.

f)

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts


The Company considers its receivables to be fully collectable since the Company has only two receivable accounts, GST/HST (Goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax) receivable and interest receivable; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts on specific accounts identified at risk based on the age of the outstanding receivable and the inability or unwillingness of its customers to make the required payments.


g)

Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are stated at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

Asset

 

Method

 

Rate

 

 

 

 

 

Computer equipment

 

Straight-line

 

33.3%

Computer software

 

Straight-line

 

100.0%

Furniture and fixtures

 

Declining balance

 

20.0%

Other equipment

 

Declining balance

 

20.0%


Amortization is recorded at one-half of the normal rate in the year of acquisition. We have compared the depreciation taken using the declining balance method to the straight-line method and have determined the difference to be immaterial for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.


Upon retirement or disposition of equipment, the cost and accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred and expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized.


h)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets under the provisions issued by the FASB which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell.


i)

Software Development Costs


Software development costs are recorded in accordance with the provisions issued by the FASB as follows. Costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility of computer software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are expensed as incurred as research and development costs. Once technological feasibility is established, the cost of producing product masters for the software is capitalized. Capitalization of the software development costs ceases and amortization of the capitalized costs commences when the product is available for general release to customers. Capitalized costs are amortized based on the greater of (a) the ratio of current gross revenues to the total current and anticipated future gross revenues, or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product.


j)

Research and Development


Expenditures relating to the development of new products and processes, including significant improvements to existing products, are charged to operations as incurred.

k)

Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions issued by the FASB which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company computes tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefit of net operating losses has not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.


l)

Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with ASC 985-605, Revenue Recognition – Software (“ASC 985-605”), or ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition – Multiple-Element Arrangements.


Pursuant to ASC 985-605, the Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is probable. The Company applies these criteria as discussed below:


·

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.  The Company requires a written contract, signed by both the customer and the Company, or a purchase order from those customers that have previously negotiated a standard end-user license arrangement or volume purchase agreement, prior to recognizing revenue on an arrangement.


·

Delivery has occurred.  The Company delivers software and hardware to customers physically.  The standard delivery terms are free on board shipping point.


·

The fee is fixed or determinable.  The Company’s determination that an arrangement fee is fixed or determinable depends principally on the arrangement’s payment terms.  Where these terms apply, the Company regards the fee as fixed or determinable, and recognizes revenue upon delivery (assuming other revenue recognition criteria are met).  If the payment terms do not meet this standard, but rather, involve “extended payment terms,” the fee may not be considered to be fixed or determinable and the revenue would then be recognized when customer installments are due and payable.


·

Collectability is probable.  To recognize revenue, the Company judges collectability of the arrangement fees on a customer-by-customer basis pursuant to a credit review policy.  The Company typically sells to customers with which it has had a history of successful collections.  For new customers, the Company evaluates the customer’s financial position and ability to pay.  If the Company determines that collectability is not probable based upon the credit review process or the customer’s payment history, revenue is recognized when cash is collected.


If there are any undelivered elements, the Company defers revenue for those elements, as long as vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists for the undelivered elements.  Payment for product is due upon shipment, subject to specific payment terms.  Payment for professional services is due either upon or in advance of providing the services, subject to specific payment terms.  Reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses and shipping costs, which have not been significant to date, are recognized as revenue in accordance with ASC 605-45, Revenue Recognition – Principal Agent Considerations.


The Company earns revenue from the sale of its software products and from royalties earned on software licensing agreements.  Revenue from the sale of software products is recognized at the point of delivery, which occurs when customers either download the software or are shipped software products.  Royalty revenue is recognized in accordance with the terms of licensing agreements and when collectability is reasonably assured, which is usually on receipt of royalty payments.  


The Company also recognizes revenue from the licensing of the intellectual property portfolio according to ASC 985-605, based on the terms of agreements involved.


The Company has not established a formal policy affecting warranty or returns.  No estimate of returns from sales has been made.

Fair Value for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities


The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments.  Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.  The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10 35-37 are described below:


Level 1 Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.


Level 2 Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.


Level 3 Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.


The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.  The Company’s note payable approximates the fair value of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangement at December 31, 2013.  The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis, consequently, the Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at December 31, 2013, nor gains or losses are reported in the statement of operations that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date for the year ended December 31, 2013.


The Company’s operations are in Canada, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates.  The financial risk to the Company’s operations results from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates.  Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.


In accordance with ASC 820, the following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets (investments) as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:


Level

 

December 31, 2013

n)

Foreign Currency Translation


The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and these financial statements have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with standards issued by the FASB.  The Canadian dollar based accounts of the Company’s foreign operations have been translated into United States dollars using the current rate method.  Assets and liabilities of those operations are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates as of the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated using the weighted average exchange rates for the reporting period.  Translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

o)

Stock-based Compensation


On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted standards issued by the FASB, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options and shares issued through its employee stock purchase plan, based on estimated fair values.  In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to this standard.  The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of this standard.  The Company adopted the FASB standard using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of the beginning in 2006.  The Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 reflect the impact of this standard.  In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s financial statements for prior periods do not include the impact of this standard.


The Company’s determination of estimated fair value of share-based awards utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding certain highly complex and subjective variables.  These variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.


p)

Net Income (Loss) per Share


Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock is presented in conformity with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), for all periods presented.  In accordance with ASC 260, basic net income (loss) per share has been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, less shares subject to repurchase.  Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period.  Potential common shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants that have a dilutive effect when applying the treasury stock method.


The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:


 

 

Year Ended December 31

Since the market price of the Company’s share is lower than the exercise price of outstanding stock options and warrants, there is no dilutive effect for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Due to a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013, basic and diluted net loss per share are equivalent as the inclusion of potential common shares in the number of shares used for the diluted computation would be anti-dilutive to the net loss per share.


q)

Comprehensive Income (Loss)


The Company reports its comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with provisions of the FASB.  For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s only component of comprehensive loss was foreign currency translation adjustments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications.  Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period.  Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income.  The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements.  All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP.  The new amendments will require an organization to:


-

Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period; and


-

Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period.  This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense.


The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income.  Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual).  The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies.  Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11.  The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users.  In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the Board determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs.  Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013.  The adoption of ASU 2013-01 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04.  The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification.  These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements.  The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update)” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03.  This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114.  The adoption of ASU 2012-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02.  This update amends ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment and permits an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance.  The adoption of ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

GST/HST REFUND RECEIVABLE


The Good Service Tax (“GST”) is a federal tax that applies to the supply of most property and services in Canada.  As of July 1, 2010, British Columbia (“BC”) harmonized its provincial sales tax (“PST”) with the GST to implement the harmonized sales tax (“HST”) at the rate of 12%.  All businesses operating in BC are responsible for collecting and remitting HST to the Canadian government.  A GST/HST registrant should collect the GST/HST on most of their sales and pay the GST/HST on most purchases they make to operate their business.  They can claim an input tax credit (“ITC”), to recover GST/HST paid or payable on the purchases they use in commercial activities.  However, during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company has not collected any GST/HST since all sales were incurred in the United State which sales are not HST taxable.  The Company has filed GST/HST returns quarterly and claimed only ITC’s during the year ended December 31, 2013.  As the result of this, as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had GST/HST refund receivable of $17,700 (CAD $18,826) and $32,724 (CAD $32,558), respectively.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


CIVIL LITIGATION


In January 2011, Mr. Knaven, a former officer and director of the Company, commenced a complaint to British Columbia’s Employment Standards Branch against the Company (the “ESB Complaint”) alleging that he was owed unpaid wages.  In October 2011, Mr. Knaven initiated two further legal proceedings against the Company in B.C. Supreme Court (the “Supreme Court Actions”), in which he advanced further complaints in respect of claims for shares and interest, a claim for wrongful dismissal, and further claims for general and unspecified damages.


Regarding the ESB Complaint, on October 24, 2012 the Company applied successfully for a ruling placing that complaint in abeyance, to be dealt with by the B.C. Supreme Court rather than the ESB.  In accordance with that ruling, Mr. Knaven on November 9, 2011 delivered a proposed amendment to his Notice of Civil Claim in one of the Supreme Court Actions.  The quantified portion of Mr. Knaven’s claims totals approximately $261,752.  He also seeks general and unspecified damages which are unquantified.  Notwithstanding, $175,310 had been held in trust by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, the subject of a garnishment (See also Note 3).  On July 23, 2013 WordLogic obtained a court order releasing $22,124.83 of those funds.   


The Company vigorously contests the claims, and has filed Responses and Counterclaims regarding all of the above referenced disputes.  The Counterclaims name Mr. Knaven and others as defendants by counterclaim.  Mr. Knaven has been served and has filed Responses disputing and denying the Counterclaims.


In November 2013 the Company settled certain claims by Mr. Knaven and certain counterclaims by the Company as against Mr. Knaven.  The terms of settlement are confidential.  Following the settlement, the parties discontinued the claim and counterclaim as against each other, and Mr. Knaven withdrew a complaint he had made to the British Columbia’s Employment Standards Branch.  In consideration for the settlement, the Company released $155,328 from the B.C. Supreme Court ordered garnishment to Mr. Knaven and issued 500,000 common shares of the Company valued at $57,500 to him.  As result of the settlement, the Company recorded loss of $24,710.  


In the proceedings referenced above, the Company had filed a counterclaim naming Mr. Knaven along with certain other defendants by counterclaim.  Those other defendants by counterclaim have not yet been served.  They include Mr. Mike Flom who appears to have been involved in assisting Mr. Knaven in formulating and advancing Knaven’s various claims against the Company.  In addition, although Mr. Flom has neither threatened nor served any legal proceedings of his own, Mr. Flom had, during 2012, asserted that the Company owed him a “termination” payment and related sums totaling in excess of $500,000, and the issuance of shares.  The Company has put Mr. Flom on notice that it does not accept those assertions.

 

In January 2013, the Company received notice from the former Chief Operating Officer Paul Silverstein, threatening a “whistle blower” claim pursuant to the US Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank legislation, to be commenced in the State of New York, alleging he was forced to resign because he was investigating expenses incurred by the Chief Executive Officer.  The Company denies the allegations, and further maintains the matter is to be resolved by arbitration.  Accordingly on March 8, 2013 it commenced an arbitration in British Columbia, Canada to resolve the issues.  The Company also appointed an independent director to conduct an investigation into the allegations raised by Silverstein to report to the Board of Directors on the outcome of his investigation, together with recommendations.  The report was delivered to the Board of Directors on March 13, 2013.  In response to an objection to jurisdiction raised by the former COO, the arbitrator commenced an initial process to determine his jurisdiction and ruled in favour of WordLogic.

 

On April 2, 2013, a complaint was filed with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by Silverstein against the Company in regards to certain claims asserted under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act by Mr. Silverstein related to allegations of fraud and the termination of Silverstein as President and CEO of the Corporation.  On October 3, 2013, the Corporation filed counterclaims against Silverstein related to his misconduct in the last month of his employment and upon his resignation.  The Corporation vigorously denies Silverstein's allegations and will aggressively defend the claim and pursue its claims against Silverstein

 

On December 30, 2013, the Company reached an out of court settlement with Paul Silverstein regarding the previously disclosed claim filed by Mr. Silverstein and the counter claim filed by the Company.  The settlement includes no admission of liability by either party.  In consideration for the settlement, the Company issued 4 million warrants to purchase 4 million common shares of the Company to Mr. Paul Silverstein.  Fair value of the warrants was estimated using Black-Sholes pricing model on settlement date.  The Company recorded loss of $773,644 on this settlement.

On June 28, 2013, Biller Communications (“Biller”), a former consulting firm of the Company entered into a settlement agreement on the pending litigation whereby the Company paid Biller $17,000 in full and final settlement of the matter.  This is a significantly reduced amount from the amount of $30,465 plus interest from May, 2012 and costs sued for in the complaint.  The Company agreed to pay this amount in order to avoid any additional costly litigation, including depositions, court appearances and trial.  The settlement amount was recorded as loss on legal settlement as of December 31, 2013.

In assessing the realizability of future tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future tax assets will not be realized.  The ultimate realization of future tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  Management considers the scheduled reversal of future tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.  Management has provided for a valuation allowance on all of its losses as there is no assurance that future tax benefits will be realized.


Our operating loss carry-forwards $6,912,233 at December 31, 2013, $4,298,140 at December 31, 2012 will begin to expire in 2028.

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.


None.


ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2013.  Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.


Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, using the criteria established in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").  


A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.


1.

We did not maintain appropriate cash controls – As of December 31, 2013, the Company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the cash process, including failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions.  


2.

We did not implement appropriate information technology controls – As at December 31, 2013, the Company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements; however, there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company’s data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors.

     

Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the Company’s internal controls.


As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO. 


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  



20







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.


Continuing Remediation Efforts to address deficiencies in Company’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Once the Company is engaged in a business of merit and has sufficient personnel available, then our Board of Directors, in particular and in connection with the aforementioned deficiencies, will establish the following remediation measures:


1.

Our Board of Directors will nominate an independent financial expert on our Board of Directors in the next fiscal year.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act


Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of change in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company.  Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.  Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to us under Rule 16a-3(e) during the year ended December 31, 2013, Forms 5 and any amendments thereto furnished to us with respect to the year ended December 31, 2013, and the representations made by the reporting persons to us, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2013, our executive officers and directors and all persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.


Code of Ethics


We have adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that applies to our senior officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  A written copy of the Code is available on written request to the Company.


Audit Committee

 

We established a separately-designated standing audit committee on February 19, 2008.  The committee consists of Darrin McCormack, our Chief Financial Officer and T. Allen Rose, a Director, Secretary and Treasurer.  However, Darrin McCormack, the financial expert serving on our audit committee, is also our Chief Financial Officer; therefore, he is not an independent member of our committee.  Further, T. Allen Rose is not an independent member of our committee, as he is also an officer of the Company.  Due to the lack of an independent member, the Company’s audit committee does not function as an audit committee should since there is a lack of independent directors on the committee and the Board of Directors has not identified an audit committee financial expert (as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K), who is knowledgeable about reporting and financial statements requirements, to serve on the audit committee due to the Company’s inability to attract such a person.


The Company intends to establish a new audit committee of the Board of Directors that shall consist of independent directors.  The audit committee’s duties will be to recommend to the Company’s board of directors the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements and to review the Company’s accounting and auditing principles.  The audit committee will review the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls.  The audit committee shall at all times be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.

Changes in Control


There are no present arrangements or pledges of the Company’s securities which may result in a change in control of the Company.


ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS, RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE


Director Independence

 

For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set forth in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2).  The OTCBB on which shares of common stock are quoted does not have any director independence requirements.  The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Director” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.


According to the NASDAQ definition, neither Frank R. Evanshen nor T. Allen Rose is an independent director because they are also executive officers of the Company.
