Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) contains ‘‘forward-looking statements’’ that represent our beliefs, projections and predictions about future events. All statements other than statements of historical fact are ‘‘forward-looking statements’’, including any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items, any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations, any statements concerning proposed new projects or other developments, any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance, any statements of management’s beliefs, goals, strategies, intentions and objectives, and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Words such as ‘‘may’’, ‘‘will’’, ‘‘should’’, ‘‘could’’, ‘‘would’’, ‘‘predicts’’, ‘‘potential’’, ‘‘continue’’, ‘‘expects’’, ‘‘anticipates’’, ‘‘future’’, ‘‘intends’’, ‘‘plans’’, ‘‘believes’’, ‘‘estimates’’ and similar expressions, as well as statements in the future tense, identify forward-looking statements.

These statements are necessarily subjective and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements described in or implied by such statements. Actual results may differ materially from expected results described in our forward-looking statements, including with respect to correct measurement and identification of factors affecting our business or the extent of their likely impact, the accuracy and completeness of the publicly available information with respect to the factors upon which our business strategy is based or the success of our business. Furthermore, industry forecasts are likely to be inaccurate, especially over long periods of time and in relatively new and rapidly developing industries such as mobile solutions for businesses. Factors that may cause actual results, our performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include without limitation:

 
competition in the market for mobile computing products and services;
 
our ability to develop brand awareness and industry reputation;
 
our ability to adapt to rapid evolution in technology and industry standards;
 
our ability to attract and retain management and skilled personnel;
 
our growth and marketing strategies;
 
anticipated trends in our business;
 
our future results of operations;
 
our lack of profitable operations in recent periods;
 
our liquidity and ability to finance our development activities;

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether, or the times by which, our performance or results may be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and management’s belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those factors discussed under the headings ‘‘Risk factors’’, ‘‘Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations’’, ‘‘Business’’ and elsewhere in this report.

Overview
 
Market Opportunities

According to Research2Guidance, the market for mobile application development services, including application creation, management, distribution and extension services, reached $20.5 billion in 2011 and will grow in value to $100 billion in 2015.

By 2015, mobile application development projects targeting smartphones and tablets will outnumber native PC projects by a ratio of 4-to-1, according to Gartner, Inc., an information technology research and advisory firm, with smartphones and tablets expected to represent more than 90% of the new net growth in device adoption in the next four years. In contrast, app development projects targeting PCs is anticipated to be on par with mobile development in 2012. Future adoption is believed to triple between the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2014, according to Gartner, and will result in the vast majority of client-side applications being mobile-only or mobile-first for these devices.

U.S. smartphone penetration is nearly at the halfway mark as of January 2012, according to the latest Nielsen data. The 48% of American adults with smartphones is up from 44% in the third quarter of 2011. It likely reflects a bump from the record 37 million iPhones that Apple sold worldwide in the fourth quarter.

According to the latest market study by ABI Research, users of enterprise B2E (business-to-employee) and B2C (business to customer) smartphone and media tablet mobile applications (apps) are forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 90 percent -- and exceed 830 million active worldwide users by 2016.

Driven by the now nearly ubiquitous presence of mobile devices including smart phones and tablets, consumers and businesses alike are demanding mobile apps that suit the increasing preference of mobile devices over PCs.
 
A plethora of portable wireless devices lend themselves to the use of mobile apps versus traditional websites for information exchange. Mobile apps are filling the need for immediate, easy to access, personalized information for consumers and businesses. A growing number of businesses need to create and manage mobile apps in order to cater to their customers, across nearly all industries and geographies.
 
With a long history of innovation in the wireless marketplace, MacroSolve is ideally positioned to capture a portion of this critical multi–billion dollar global market.

Recent Developments
 
Since March 2011, the Company has been protecting its intellectual property rights against entities it has identified as potentially infringing the Company’s rights. In October 2010, the Company received U.S. patent #7,822,816, which addresses mobile information collection systems across all wireless networks, smart phones, tablets, and rugged mobile devices, regardless of carrier and manufacturer, and is currently utilized in MacroSolve’s IllumeSentral™ rapid mobile app development platform formerly branded as ReFormXT. To date, complaints have been filed against 59 defendants and the Company is continuously identifying potential infringers with more than 250 potential infringers identified as of the date of this report. Out of these lawsuits, the Company has received fourteen settlements in the form of non-exclusive, perpetual paid-up licenses for licensed products resulting in revenues of over one million dollars in 2011, which represented approximately 63% of total revenue in 2011.  The Company’s objective in these enforcement actions is not to monopolize or prevent other companies from competing; it is to get a return on its investment in the intellectual property.

Our latest technology and services capabilities generate a growing base of intellectual property, contract and an increasing amount of annuity based revenue. Under our trade name, Illume Mobile, we offer customized mobile applications as well as productized apps.  The custom mobile apps provide specific solution to a company’s specific need and are completed with our in house development staff.  Productized apps provide businesses a quicker, faster solution to their needs and generally do not require further developer time to provide.  Both types of solution are pointed at providing a company a branded app that is usually available to its customers or a productivity app that is usually available to its employees to improve their productivity.  The Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council, in a research paper called “Saving Time and Money with Mobile Apps”, states that small businesses that use mobile apps to help manage their operations are saving more than 370 million of their own hours and over 725 million employee hours annually.

Traditionally, our customers rely on us to define, design, develop and support the best combinations of technologies in a market that is very technologically dynamic. We assist software and web-based application companies by modifying their software product offerings so that they can be used by a mobile end-user who typically has a Smartphone or a similar cellular device. Many of these customers rely on our technology and marketing expertise. We also serve enterprises that find it difficult to identify a mobile software product which addresses their specific need to streamline operational processes, and do not have the competency in house. The Company began capitalizing development costs in 2011 for three products. In 2011, the Company invested $69,003 in an iPad product called SaleSentral™, $40,374 in an iPhone product called GuardianSentral™, and $18,701 in an iPad product called SiteSurvey ™. Ongoing investment in these products is expected in 2012.

Growth Strategies

The user downloads the app for free and creates a personal profile that includes name, cell phone number and a pass-code, which is all maintained in the monitoring database at the campus police or corporate security office. When the user is in a potentially dangerous situation, they can activate the app and contact the appropriate security group. GuardianSentral is designed with three levels of protection (Check In, Follow Me, Danger/Emergency), depending on the level of concern of the user.
 
Custom Development

Illume Mobile provides customization of our products when a business has a specific need, a unique business problem or an idea they choose to pursue.
 
Competition
 
Our market contains few substantial barriers to entry. We believe we will face additional competition from existing competitors and new market entrants in the future.  We are subject to current and potential competition with respect to our custom development services by less expensive development resources overseas.  In addition, we are subject to current and potential competition with respect to our mobile app platforms from app development companies, advertising agencies and a company’s in house IT resources.
 
Customers and Suppliers
 
For the year ended December 31, 2011, MacroSolve had one professional services customer that constituted more than ten percent of the overall revenues, which was Navigation Solutions of Plano, Texas (17%). Revenues from this customer are expected to significantly decrease in 2012 as the customer’s product the Company assisted with is mature and not longer under maintenance. We do not rely on any single supplier.
 
Intellectual Property
 
The Company reviews each of its intellectual properties and makes a determination as to the best means to protect such property, by trademark, by copyright, by patent, by trade secret, or otherwise. The Corporation believes that it has taken appropriate steps to protect its intellectual properties, depending on its evaluation of the factors unique to each such property, but cannot guarantee that this is the case. The United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued U.S. Patent No. 7,822,816 to our company. The patent, a significant intellectual property asset, further advances our position as a leader in the mobile solutions market. We are immediately pursuing the monetization of this patent and its other IP assets and are currently in discussions with several companies in the mobile communications market.  The patent addresses mobile information collection systems across all wireless networks, smart phones, tablets, and rugged mobile devices, regardless of carrier and manufacturer, and is currently utilized in our ReForm XT™ rapid mobile app development platform.

In September 2011, the Company filed a continuation of U.S. Patent No. 7,822,816 which is assigned number 12/910,706.
 
The Company currently has no registered trademarks but is evaluating filing for trademark protection on its branded products in 2012.

The Company has intellectual property that relates to extending applications to multiple handsets operating on multiple wireless networks which it handles as a trade secret and which it considers to be valuable.
 
Government Regulation
 
Our principal products and services do not require any government approval.  We do not anticipate that existing or probable governmental regulations, including environmental laws, will have any effect on our business.
 
Employees
 
The Company has forty-one (41) full-time employees that include executive management, account, administration, sales (including channel management), client services, technology development and implementation. We have no labor union contracts and believe relations with our employees are satisfactory.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors
 
You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in the section of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently believes are immaterial may also impair the Company’s business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
 
Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

We have a history of losses which may continue and which may negatively impact our ability to achieve our business objectives.

We incurred net losses of $2,534,444 and $1,923,543 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.   In addition, at December 31, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of $12,674,194. Since our inception, we have experienced negative cash flow from operations and expect to experience significant negative cash flow from operations in the future. We cannot assure you that we can achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.  Our operations are subject to the risks and competition inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise. There can be no assurance that future operations will be profitable. Revenues and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including whether we will be able to continue expansion of our revenue. We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve such goals would have an adverse impact on us.
 
We received a modified report from our independent registered public accounting firm with an emphasis of matter paragraph for the year ended December 31, 2011 with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern.  The existence of such a report may adversely affect our stock price and our ability to raise capital.  There is no assurance that we will not receive a similar emphasis of matter paragraph for our year ended December 31, 2012.
 
In their report dated March 9, 2012, our independent registered public accounting firm expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as we have incurred operating losses the last two years and have a substantial accumulated deficit. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, increasing sales or obtaining loans and grants from various financial institutions where possible. Our continued net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.
 
If we are unable to obtain additional funding, our business operations will be harmed and if we do obtain additional financing our then existing shareholders may suffer substantial dilution.
 
We require additional funds to sustain our operations and institute our business plan.  We anticipate that we will require up to approximately $1.5 million for our anticipated operations for the next twelve months to effectively support the operations and to otherwise implement our overall business strategy.  Even if we do receive additional financing, it may not be sufficient to sustain or expand our development operations or continue our business operations.
 
 
 
7

 
 
We do not have any contracts or commitments for additional funding, and there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our development plans or cease our business operations. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders.

We face intense competition in the market for mobile computing products and services, which could reduce our market share and revenue.
 
Our market contains few substantial barriers to entry. We believe we will face additional competition from existing competitors and new market entrants in the future.  We are subject to current and potential competition with respect to our mobile application development and maintenance services by less expensive development resources overseas.  In addition, we are subject to current and potential competition with respect to our mobile app platforms from various U.S. companies.
 
In addition to the direct competition noted above, we face indirect competition from existing and potential customers that may provide internally developed solutions for each of our products or services. As a result, we must educate prospective customers as to the advantage of our products compared to internally developed solutions.
 
Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater brand recognition and more established relationships in the industry than we do. Our larger competitors may be able to provide customers with additional benefits in connection with their products, services, and costs, including reduced communications costs. As a result, these companies may be able to price their products and services more competitively than we can and respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. If we are unable to compete successfully against our current or future competitors, we may lose market share, and our business and prospects would suffer.
 
Consolidation in the wireless industry may strengthen our competitors’ position in our market. Consolidation of our competitors has occurred, and we expect it to continue to occur in the foreseeable future. Acquisitions may further strengthen our competitors’ financial, technical and marketing resources.

We may not be able to continue to monetize our intellectual property.
 
In October 2010, the Company received Patent #7,822,816 (the “816 patent”) which addresses mobile information collection systems across all wireless networks, smart phones, tablets, and rugged mobile devices, regardless of carrier and manufacturer, and is currently utilized in MacroSolve’s IllumeSentral™ rapid mobile app development platform formerly branded as ReFormXT. Efforts to monetize the 816 patent were initiated in March 2011 and the efforts continue to this date.  Although the Company did not enter into settlement discussions over most of the lawsuits filed until the second half of 2011, over $1 million in licensing revenues were generated in the year ended December 31, 2011, which represented 63% of the Company’s revenues. If the Company is not able to continue to enforce and monetize this patent, it will have an adverse effect on its revenue, income and future growth plans.

Insufficient protection for our intellectual property rights may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or our ability to compete.
 
We attempt to protect our intellectual property rights in the United States and in selected foreign countries through a combination of reliance on intellectual property laws (including copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws) and registrations of selected patent, trademark and copyright rights in selected jurisdictions, as well as licensing and other agreements preventing the unauthorized disclosure and use of our intellectual property. We cannot assure you that these protections will be adequate to prevent third parties from copying or reverse engineering our products, from engaging in other unauthorized use of our technology, or from independently developing and marketing products or services that are substantially equivalent to or superior to our own. Moreover, third parties may be able to successfully challenge, oppose, invalidate or circumvent our patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secret rights. We may elect or be unable to obtain or maintain certain protections for certain of our intellectual property in certain jurisdictions, and our intellectual property rights may not receive the same degree of protection in foreign countries as they would in the United States because of the differences in foreign laws concerning intellectual property rights. Lack of protection of certain intellectual property rights for any reason could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, monitoring and protecting our intellectual property rights is difficult and costly. From time to time, we may be required to initiate litigation or other action to enforce our intellectual property rights or to establish their validity. Such action could result in substantial cost and diversion of resources and management attention and we cannot assure you that any such action will be successful.

If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.
 
Our success will depend in part on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market products or services in direct competition with us and erode our competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to prevent misappropriation of our proprietary rights.

We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for mobile information collection systems across all wireless networks, smart phones, tablets, and rugged mobile devices. However, the patent process is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defending patents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwise may not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significant investments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sell our potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and other international governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for technologies that prove successful as a matter of public policy regarding security concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by United States courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.
 
Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Third parties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop. Additionally, extensive time is required for development and testing of a potential product.

In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the "PTO") and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patent applications concerning software inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovations exemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtain patents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.

Our success depends on our patents, patent applications that may be licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We may not be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize our products, by preventing the patentability of future products or services to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that may invalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our products and services.
 
In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures to protect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do not adequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others may independently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage we may have.
 
Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that such protections will prove inadequate.
 
We may be involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents, which could be expensive and time consuming.
 
The software and telecom industries have been characterized by extensive litigation in recent years regarding patents and other intellectual property rights, and companies have employed intellectual property litigation to gain a competitive advantage. We may become subject to infringement claims or litigation arising out of patents and pending applications of our competitors, or additional interference proceedings declared by the PTO to determine the priority of inventions. The defense and prosecution of intellectual property suits, PTO proceedings, and related legal and administrative proceedings are costly and time-consuming to pursue, and their outcome is uncertain. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our issued patent, to protect our trade secrets and know-how, or to determine the enforceability, scope, and validity of the proprietary rights of others. An adverse determination in litigation or interference proceedings to which we may become a party could subject us to significant liabilities, require us to obtain licenses from third parties, or restrict or prevent us from selling our products in certain markets. Although patent and intellectual property disputes might be settled through licensing or similar arrangements, the costs associated with such arrangements may be substantial and could include our paying large fixed payments and ongoing royalties. Furthermore, the necessary licenses may not be available on satisfactory terms or at all.

Competitors may infringe our patents, and we may file infringement claims to counter infringement or unauthorized use. This can be expensive, particularly for a company of our size, and time-consuming. In addition, in an infringement proceeding, a court may decide that a patent of ours is not valid or is unenforceable, or may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that our patents do not cover its technology. An adverse determination of any litigation or defense proceedings could put one or more of our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly.
 
Also, a third party may assert that our patents are invalid and/or unenforceable. There are no unresolved communications, allegations, complaints or threats of litigation related to the possibility that our patents are invalid or unenforceable. Any litigation or claims against us, whether or not merited, may result in substantial costs, place a significant strain on our financial resources, divert the attention of management and harm our reputation. An adverse decision in litigation could result in inadequate protection for our products and/or reduce the value of any license agreements we have with third parties.
 
Interference proceedings brought before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office may be necessary to determine priority of invention with respect to our patents or patent applications. During an interference proceeding, it may be determined that we do not have priority of invention for one or more aspects in our patents or patent applications and could result in the invalidation in part or whole of a patent or could put a patent application at risk of not issuing. Even if successful, an interference proceeding may result in substantial costs and distraction to our management.
 
Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation or interference proceedings, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure. In addition, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If investors perceive these results to be negative, the price of our common stock could be adversely affected.
 
Most sales with mobile carriers and enterprises have a long sales cycle process, which increases the cost of completing sales and renders completion of sales less predictable.
 
The sales cycle process with some customers could be long, making it difficult to predict the quarter in which we may recognize revenue from a sale, if at all. The general length of the sales cycle increases our costs and may cause license revenue and other operating results to vary significantly from period to period. Our products or services often are part of significant strategic decisions by our customers regarding their information systems. Accordingly, the decision to license our products or use our services typically requires significant pre-purchase evaluation. We spend substantial time providing information to prospective customers regarding the use and benefits of our products and services. During this evaluation period, we may expend significant funds in sales and marketing efforts. If anticipated sales from a specific customer for a particular quarter are not realized in that quarter, our operating results may be adversely affected.
 
Our market changes rapidly due to evolution in technology and industry standards. If we do not adapt to meet the sophisticated needs of our customers, our business and prospects will suffer.
 
The market for our products and services is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and frequent new product and service introductions. Our future success will depend to a substantial degree on our ability to offer products and services that adapt to these changing markets, incorporate leading technology, address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our current and prospective customers and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis. Our rapidly evolving market makes it more likely that:
 
 
our technology or products may become obsolete upon the introduction of alternative technologies;
 
we may not have sufficient resources to develop or acquire new technologies or to introduce new products or services capable of competing with future technologies or service offerings of other companies; and
 
we may not have sufficient resources to develop or acquire new technologies or to introduce new products or services capable of competing with future technologies or service offerings of other companies.
 
 
 
10

 
 
To the extent we determine that new technologies are required to remain competitive, the development, acquisition and implementation of these technologies is likely to continue to require significant capital investment by us. Moreover, we cannot be certain that we can develop, market and deliver new products and technology on a timely basis. Sufficient capital may not be available for this purpose in the future, and even if it is available, investments in new technologies may not result in commercially viable technological processes and there may not be commercial applications for such technologies. If we do not develop, acquire and introduce new products and services and achieve market acceptance in a timely manner, our business and prospects will suffer.
 
Our business and prospects depend, to a significant degree, on demand for wireless and other mobile computing devices.
 
The use of wireless and other mobile computing devices for retrieving, sharing and transferring information among businesses, consumers, suppliers and partners has begun to develop only in recent years. Our success will depend in large part on continued growth in the use of wireless and other mobile computing devices, including handheld computers, smart phones, pagers and other mobile devices. In addition, our markets face critical unresolved issues concerning the commercial use of wireless and other mobile computing devices, including security, reliability, cost, ease of access and use, quality of service, regulatory initiatives and necessary increases in bandwidth availability. Demand for, and market acceptance of, wireless and other mobile computing devices which require our products and services are subject to a high level of uncertainty and are dependent on a number of factors, including:
 
 
growth in sales of handheld devices, smart phones and other mobile computing devices;
 
emergence of a viable and sustainable market for wireless and mobile computing services;
 
our product and services differentiation and quality;
 
the development of technologies that facilitate interactive communication between organizations;
 
our distribution and pricing strategies as compared with those of our competitors;
 
the growth in access to, and market acceptance of, new interactive technologies;
 
the effectiveness of our marketing strategy and efforts;
 
our industry reputation; and
 
general industry and economic conditions such as slowdowns in the computer or software markets or the economy.
 
If the market for wireless and other mobile computing devices as a commercial or business medium develops more slowly than expected, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be seriously harmed.
 
Even if the wireless and mobile computing services market does develop, our products and services may not achieve widespread market acceptance. If our target customers do not adopt, purchase and successfully deploy our other current and planned products and services, our revenue will not grow significantly and our business, results of operations and financial condition will be seriously harmed.
 
We might experience significant errors or security flaws in our products and services.
 
Despite testing prior to their release, software products may contain errors or security flaws, particularly when first introduced or when new versions are released. Errors in our software products could affect the ability of our products to work with other hardware or software products, could delay the development or release of new products or new versions of products and could adversely affect market acceptance of our products. If we experience errors or delays in releasing new products or new versions of products, we could lose revenues. Our customers rely on our products and services for critical parts of their businesses and they may have a greater sensitivity to product errors and security vulnerabilities than customers for software products generally. Software product errors and security flaws in our products or services could expose us to product liability, performance and/or warranty claims as well as harm our reputation, which could impact our future sales of products and services. The detection and correction of any security flaws can be time consuming and costly.
 
Pricing pressure in the mobile software and technology market could adversely affect our operating results.
 
Competition and industry consolidation in the mobile messaging market have resulted in pricing pressure, which we expect to continue in the future. This pricing pressure could cause large reductions in the selling price of our services. For example, consolidation in the wireless services industry could give our customers increased transaction volume leverage in pricing negotiations. Our competitors or our customers’ in-house solutions may also provide services at a lower cost, significantly increasing pricing pressures on us. While historically pricing pressure has been largely offset by volume increases and the introduction of new services, in the future we may not be able to offset the effects of any price reductions.
 
 
11

 
 
 
If we fail to maintain or expand our relationships with strategic partners and indirect distribution channels our revenues could decline.
 
Our development, marketing and distribution strategies depend in part on our ability to form strategic relationships with other technology companies. If these companies change their business focus, enter into strategic alliances with other companies or are acquired by our competitors or others, support for our products and services could be reduced or eliminated, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
 
Industry consolidation and other competitive pressures could affect prices or demand for our products and services, and our business may be adversely affected.
 
The IT industry and the market for our products and services are becoming increasingly competitive due to a variety of factors. There is also a growing trend toward consolidation in the software industry. Continued consolidation within the software industry could create opportunities for larger software companies, such as IBM, Microsoft and Oracle, to increase their market share through the acquisition of companies that dominate certain lucrative market niches or that have loyal installed customer bases. Continued consolidation activity could pose a significant competitive disadvantage to us.
 
The significant purchasing and market power of larger companies may also subject us to increased pricing pressures. Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources, and a larger installed customer base than us. In addition, our competitors’ advertising and marketing efforts could overshadow our own and/or adversely influence customer perception of our products and services, and harm our business and prospects as a result. To remain competitive, we must develop and promote new products and solutions, enhance existing products and retain competitive pricing policies, all in a timely manner. Our failure to compete successfully with new or existing competitors in these and other areas could have a material adverse impact on our ability to generate new revenues or sustain existing revenue levels.
 
The ability to rapidly develop and bring to market advanced products and services that are successful is crucial to maintaining our competitive position.
 
Widespread use of the Internet and fast-growing market demand for mobile and wireless solutions may significantly alter the manner in which business is conducted in the future. In light of these developments, our ability to timely meet the demand for new or enhanced products and services to support wireless and mobile business operations at competitive prices could significantly impact our ability to generate future revenues.  If the market for unwired solutions does not continue to develop as we anticipate, if our solutions and services do not successfully compete in the relevant markets, or our new products are not widely adopted and successful, our competitive position and our operating results could be adversely affected.   While acquisition of certain competitors could enhance our position, we have no discussions in that regard at this time.
 
System failures, delays and other problems could harm our reputation and business, cause us to lose customers and expose us to customer liability.
 
The success of our products, specifically ReForm™, is highly dependent on its ability to provide reliable services to customers. These operations could be interrupted by any damage to or failure of our or our customers, or suppliers, computer software, hardware or networks, and our connections and outsourced service arrangements with third parties.
 
Anyware’s systems and operations are also vulnerable to damage or interruption from power loss, transmission cable cuts and other telecommunications failures, natural disasters, interruption of service due to potential facility migrations, computer viruses or software defects, physical or electronic break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and similar events and errors by our employees or third-party service providers.
 
Because many of our services play a mission-critical role for our customers, any damage to or failure of the infrastructure we rely on, including that of our customers and vendors, could disrupt the operation of our network and the provision of our services, result in the loss of current and potential customers and expose us to potential customer liability.
 
 
 
12

 
 

Economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide could adversely affect our revenues.
 
Our revenues and operating results depend on the overall demand for our products and services. If the U.S. and worldwide economies continue to weaken, either alone or in tandem with other factors beyond our control (including war, political unrest, shifts in market demand for our products, actions by competitors, etc.), we may not be able to maintain or expand our recent revenue growth.
 
We will need significant additional capital, which we may be unable to obtain.
 
Our capital requirements in connection with our ecommerce development activities and transition to commercial operations have been and will continue to be significant. We will require additional funds to develop direct Internet sales of products and services.  There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.  There is no assurance additional funds will be available from any source; or, if available, such funds may not be on terms acceptable to the Company.  In either of the aforementioned situations, the Company may not be able to fully implement its growth plans. Moreover, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of stock by our selling stockholders, and thus this offering will not affect our ability to meet capital requirements.
 
We depend on key employees in a competitive market for skilled personnel.
 
The success of our business will continue to depend upon certain key technical and senior management personnel many of whom would be extremely difficult to replace. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we cannot be certain that we will be able to retain our existing key managerial, technical, or sales and marketing personnel. The loss of these officers and other or key employees in the future might adversely affect our business and impede the achievement of our business objectives. We believe our ability to achieve increased revenue and to develop successful new products and product enhancements will depend in part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled sales and marketing and qualified product development personnel. In addition, competition for employees in our industry and geographic location could be intense. We may not be able to continue to attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel on acceptable terms. Our ability to hire and retain such personnel will depend in part upon our ability to raise capital or achieve increased revenue levels to fund the costs associated with such personnel. Failure to attract and retain key personnel may adversely affect our business.

We had management changes beginning in August 2011. We cannot assure you that our new management has the ability to function as a team.

In August 2011 our Chief Executive Officer and President was replaced and the former President and CEO accepted the position of Executive Vice President. In November 2011, the Company hired a Chief Operations Officer, a newly created position. There can be no assurance that our new management team will function together successfully to implement our business strategy. Our performance is dependent on the services of our management as well as well as on our ability to recruit, retain and motive other key employees.
 
We may have to spend substantial funds on sales and marketing in the future.
 
To increase awareness for our new and existing products, technology and services, we may have to spend significantly more on sales and marketing in the future. We also plan to continue to leverage our relationships with industry leaders and to expand and diversify our sales and marketing initiatives to increase our sales to mobile carriers and enterprises. If our marketing strategy is unsuccessful, we may not be able to recover these expenses or even generate any revenue. We will be required to develop a marketing and sales campaign that will effectively demonstrate the advantages of our products, technology and services. We may also elect to enter into agreements or relationships with third parties regarding the promotion or marketing of our products, technology and services. We cannot be certain that we will be able to establish adequate sales and marketing capabilities, that we will be able to enter into marketing agreements or relationships with third parties on financially acceptable terms, or that any third parties with whom we enter into such arrangements will be successful in marketing and promoting the products, technology and services offered by us.

Risks Relating to our Common Stock and its Market Value
 
The price of our Common Stock may be volatile.

The trading price of our common stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to fluctuations in response to a number of factors beyond our control. Some of these factors are:

 
 
dilution caused by our issuance of additional shares of Common Stock and other forms of equity securities, which we expect to make in connection with future capital financings to fund our operations and growth, to attract and retain valuable personnel and in connection with future strategic partnerships with other companies;
 
our results of operations and the performance of our competitors;
 
the public’s reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission;
 
changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who follow, or may follow, us or other companies in our industry;
 
changes in general economic conditions;
 
changes in the valuation of similarly situated companies, both in our industry and in other industries;
 
actions of our historical equity investors, including sales of common stock by our directors and executive officers;
 
actions by institutional investors trading in our stock;
 
disruption of our operations;
 
any major change in our management team;
 
significant sales of our common stock;
 
other developments affecting us, our industry or our competitors; and
 
U.S. and international economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance.

These and other factors are largely beyond our control, and the impact of these risks, singly or in the aggregate, may result in material adverse changes to the market price of our Common Stock and/or our results of operations and financial condition.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to Commission Release No. 34-29093, the market for “penny stocks” has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse.  Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses.  Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.  Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the future volatility of our share price.
  
There is a limited market for our common stock which may make it more difficult for you to dispose of your stock.

Our common stock has been quoted under the symbol “MCVE” on the Pink Sheets since February 23, 2011 and prior to that, on the OTC Bulletin Board since August 15, 2008. There is a limited trading market for our common stock. Furthermore, the trading in our common stock maybe highly volatile, as for example, for the year ended December 31, 2011, our stock traded less than 91,000 shares on average per day. During that same period, the smallest number of shares trade in one day was zero and the largest number of shares traded in one day was 1,942,400. Out of the 252 trading days in 2011, zero shares traded on 20 days. On the 232 days that trading occurred, 82 days traded 20,000 shares or less and only 47 days traded 100,000 shares or more. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any markets that may develop for our common stock, the ability of holders of our common stock to sell our common stock, or the prices at which holders may be able to sell our common stock.

In recent years the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations may be unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may cause declines in the market price of our common stock. The price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with our company or our performance, and those fluctuations could materially reduce our common stock price.
 
Legislative actions, higher insurance costs and potential new accounting pronouncements may impact our future financial position and results of operations.

There have been regulatory changes, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and there may potentially be new accounting pronouncements or additional regulatory rulings that will have an impact on our future financial position and results of operations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rule changes as well as proposed legislative initiatives following the Enron bankruptcy are likely to increase general and administrative costs and expenses. In addition, insurers are likely to increase premiums as a result of high claims rates over the past several years, which we expect will increase our premiums for insurance policies. Further, there could be changes in certain accounting rules.  These and other potential changes could materially increase the expenses we report under generally accepted accounting principles, and adversely affect our operating results.

 
 
14

 
 
Efforts to comply with recently enacted changes in securities laws and regulations will increase our costs and require additional management resources.
 
As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on their internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports on Form 10-K. In addition, in the event we are no longer a smaller reporting company, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing our financial statements would be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Such attestation requirement by our independent registered public accounting firm would not be applicable to us until the report for the year ended December 31, 2012 at the earliest, if at all.  If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting or if our independent registered public accounting firm is required to, but is unable to provide us with a report as to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the value of our securities.

We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
 
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the Board of Directors may consider relevant.

Our common stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

·  
that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
·  
the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

·  
obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
·  
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

·  
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
·  
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments

None.
 
Item 2.  Properties

We maintain our principal office at 1717 South Boulder, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74119.  Our current office space consists of approximately 9,965 square feet. The lease expires in August 2013.  The base rent is as follows:

Lease Period
 
Amount Per Month
 
September 1, 2008 – February 29, 2011
  $ 11,833.44  
March 1, 2011 – August 2013
  $ 12,248.65  

We believe that our existing facilities are suitable and adequate to meet our current business requirements.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business.  We are not currently aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

We are currently a party to eighteen legal proceedings we initiated in the United States District Court Eastern District of Texas against thirty-one alleged infringers of our United States Patent #7,822,816. In each action, we claimed that each of defendants, directly or through intermediaries, made, has made, used, imported, provided, supplied, distributed, sold, and/or offered for sale products and/or systems that infringed one or more claims of United States Patent #7,822,816. We asked the Court for relief, including permanent injunctions, damages and costs we incurred because of the infringing activities, including interest and attorney fees. Any resulting litigation, however, will be subject to inherent uncertainties and the favorable outcome of any litigation is inestimable.

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and the notes to those statements that appear elsewhere in this report.  Certain statements in the discussion contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as plans, objectives, expectations and intentions.  Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under “Item 1A.  Risk Factors.” and elsewhere in this report.

Business Overview

For this information please see Part 1, Item 1 “Business.”

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010 (all references are to fiscal years).

Total Net Sales: Total Net Sales increased $1,048,000 or 164% to $1,686,000 in 2011 from $638,000 for 2010. Sources of revenue were derived from our IP licensing, software products, services and hardware sales.  Licensing revenues represented the majority of the net sales with an increase of $1,179,000, or 1871%, for the period to $1,242,000 from $63,000 for the same period in 2010, which increase is primarily attributable to the monetization of the Company’s intellectual property. Services revenue showed a decrease of $53,000, or 11% in 2011 to $443,000 from $496,000 for the same period in 2010.  This was primarily due to a reduction in work under contract from a single legacy professional services customer; that customer’s maintenance and support agreement decreased from $25,000 per month to $10,000 per month in January 2011 or a reduction of $180,000 total maintenance revenue in 2011 compared to 2010. The decrease was offset in 2011 by revenues generated by custom mobile app development and mobile platforms. The Company discontinued hardware sales due to low profit margins after the first half of 2010 when it recognized $78,000 revenues. Hardware sales totaling $78,000 in 2010 were primarily attributable to digiTicket, a division which was sold to private investors in February 2010.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit:  Cost of sales for 2011 increased $510,000, or 160%, from $319,000 in 2010 to $829,000 in 2011. Legal fees associated with licenses sold pursuant intellectual property monetization were $424,000, or 51%, of the 2011 cost of sales. The resulting gross profit for 2011 of $857,000 was up $538,000, or 169%, over the gross profit for 2010 of $319,000.  Gross profit margins were 51% and 50% for 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Operating, Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Operating expenses include direct division operating expenses, marketing and sales expenses, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses  Operating expenses increased by $1,127,000, or 56%, in 2011 to $3,123,000 from $1,996,000 in 2010. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased in 2011 by $6,000 from $249,000 in 2010 to $243,000.  Public relations and investor relations services increased in 2011 by $548,000, or 460%, to $667,000 from $119,000 in 2010 and were paid in 2011 using restricted stock valued at $509,000 and $158,000 in cash compared to the use of $23,000 in restricted stock and $96,000 in cash in 2010.   The Company incurred $185,000 in corporation promotion costs in 2011, primarily due to $166,000 in accrued expenses related to a corporate branding and marketing initiative which began in June 2011. Occupancy expenses were $76,000 lower in 2010 due to shared occupancy expenses with digiTicket, a division which was sold to private investors in February 2010 but continued sharing office facilities until August 2010. The Company grew from 17 employees at the end of 2010 to 35 employees at the end of 2011 resulting in $199,000 in additional salaries and benefits.

Loss from Operations: Loss from operations for 2011 of $2,266,000 was up $589,000 or 35% from the loss from operations in 2010 of $1,677,000 primarily due to increased public relations and investor relations services of $548,000, of which $509,000 was paid in stock in lieu of cash.

Other Income and Expense: Total other expenses of $268,000 in 2011 were $21,000 or 9% more than the total of $247,000 in 2010.  This increase is due to increase in interest expense offset by a decrease in stock based compensation. Stock-based compensation expense, within other expenses, was $98,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $108,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $10,000. Interest expense increased $32,000, or 23% in 2011 to $171,000 from $139,000 in 2010. In 2011, interest expense consisted of $24,000 paid in cash, primarily to a financial institution, and $147,000 in accrued interest on the 2010 and 2011 Debenture financing. The accrued interest may be settled in common stock or from patent recoveries.
 
Net Loss: Net loss of $2,534,000 in 2011 was $610,000 or 32% greater than the net loss in 2010 of $1,924,000 as a result of the increases in non-cash expenses, including public relations and investors relations expenditures paid in stock, accrued corporate promotions costs and accrued interest on 2010 and 2011 Debentures.

There was no provision for income taxes for the fiscal years ended 2011 and 2010 due to a valuation allowance of $2.0 million recorded for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, on the total tax provision as we believed that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be utilized during the next year.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had total current assets of $801,721 and total current liabilities of $932,125 for a working capital deficit of $130,404. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $273,132 and an accumulated deficit of $12,674,194 since operations commenced in 1997.  It is the Company’s intention to raise additional working capital from licensing revenues and the sale of equity or debt securities.

As a result of the above and a net loss of $2,534,444 in 2011, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm's audit report for the year ended December 31, 2011, included herein, contains a qualified opinion and an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company continues as a going concern and contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern on a long-term basis will be dependent upon its ability to create and market innovative products and services and sustain adequate working capital to finance its operations.

We finance our operations primarily through operating revenues, proceeds from bank loans, shareholder loans and sales of equity and debt securities to accredited investors. 

2010 Debenture Financing

In November 2010, the Company sold Convertible Debentures Series 2010 (the “2010 Debentures”) for gross proceeds of $925,000, which were used for general corporate purposes. The 2010 Debentures accrue interest at 2.0% per annum with interest paid at maturity on December 31, 2015. The 2010 Debentures may not be prepaid before the maturity date. Repayment of the 2010 Debentures may be made in cash or shares of Common Stock at the option of the Company.
 
The 2010 Debentures may be converted into shares of Common Stock at the option of the holder. Upon conversion, the holder will be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock that equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the face amount of the Debentures, together with accrued but unpaid interest, divided by the conversion price, which is the weighted average price for the five-day trading period before the notice of conversion. On July 1, 2011, two investors converted an aggregate of $50,000 in 2010 Debentures into 757,576 shares of restricted common stock. On October 20, 2011, one investor converted $100,000 in 2010 Debentures for 1,546,627 shares of restricted common stock. As of March 8, 2012, there is $50,000 principal amount of 2010 Debentures outstanding that are convertible into approximately 1,000,000 shares of common stock

The 2010 Debenture investors also received common stock purchase warrants, designated by the Company as Class B Warrants, which expire on December 31, 2015.  As of March 8, 2012, there were Class B Warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 343,591 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging between $0.2618 and $0.3276.

2011 Debenture Financing

Between April and June 2011, the Company sold Convertible Debentures Series 2011 (the “2011 Class A Debentures”) with Class A Warrants for gross proceeds of $950,000 and the conversion of $725,000 of 2010 Debentures into 2011 Debentures. Between September and October 2011, the Company sold Convertible Debentures Series 2011 (the “2011 Class B Debentures” and together with the 2011 Class A Debentures, the “2011 Debentures”) with Class B Warrants for gross proceeds of $700,000 and the conversion of $25,000 in accrued compensation.

The 2011 Debentures, which mature on December 31, 2016, earn interest at an annual rate of 12%, which will be paid quarterly exclusively from the Debenture Account. Principal on the 2011 Debentures will be paid quarterly as the Debenture Account permits. A Debenture Account has been established with a financial institution for the deposit of 25% of the net funds the Company receives from licensing its intellectual property. As of March 8, 2012, the Debenture Account has a balance of $63,000.
 
 
 
20

 

 
The 2011 Class A Debentures may be converted into shares of Common Stock at the option of the holder. Upon conversion, the holder will be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock that equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the face amount of the 2011 Class A Debentures, together with accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the conversion price, which is the weighted average price for the five-day trading period preceding the 2011 Class A Debenture investment. Any 2011 Class A Debentures that are outstanding on the maturity date that have not been repaid from the Debenture Account will be repaid by the issuance of shares of Common Stock at the conversion price. As of March 8, 2012, there is $1,675,000 principal amount of 2011 Class A Debentures outstanding that are convertible into approximately 18,475,827 shares of common stock.

The 2011 Class A Debenture investors also received common stock purchase warrants, designated by the Company as Class A Warrants, which expire on December 31, 2016.  As of March 8, 2012, there were Class A Warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 18,475,827 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging between $0.063 and $0.109.

The 2011 Class B Debentures may be converted into shares of Common Stock at the option of the holder. Upon conversion, the holder will be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock that equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the face amount of the 2011 Class B Debentures, together with accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the conversion price, which is the weighted average price for the five-day trading period preceding the 2011 Class B Debenture investment, however the conversion price shall not be less than ten cents per share at any time and the conversion price shall not be more than ten cents per share for investments made prior to October 1, 2011. Any 2011 Class B Debentures that are outstanding on the maturity date that have not been repaid from the Debenture Account will be repaid by the issuance of shares of Common Stock at the conversion price. As of March 8, 2012, there is $896,161 principal amount of 2011 Class B Debentures outstanding that are convertible into approximately 17,923,227 shares of common stock.

The investors in 2011 Class B Debentures also received common stock purchase warrants, designated by the Company as Class B Warrants, which expire on December 31, 2016.  As of March 8, 2012, there were Class B Warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 8,961,614 shares of common stock at exercise prices of $0.10.

2012 Debenture Financing

On February 17, 2012, the Company issued (i) convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the “2012 Debentures”) and (ii) Series C warrants (the “2012 Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock to certain investors (the “2012 Investors”) for aggregate cash proceeds of $180,000 and the exchange of $320,000 in previously issued promissory notes.  There were four Investors, who are all directors of the Company.

The 2012 Debentures accrue interest at an annual rate of 8%, which will be paid quarterly exclusively from the Debenture Account. Principal on the 2012 Debentures will be paid quarterly, on a pro rata basis with all 2012 Debentures, as the Debenture Account permits, but only after all accrued interest has been paid. The Debenture Account is a bank account established with a financial institution for the deposit of 25% of any funds the Company receives from any judgment or settlement in any patent infringement cases involving United States Patent Number 7,822,816.

The 2012 Debentures mature on December 31, 2019, to the extent not previously repaid.  Any 2012 Debentures that are outstanding on the maturity date that have not been repaid from the Debenture Account will be repaid by the issuance of such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the outstanding principal and/or accrued interest divided by the volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s Common Stock for the three trading days prior to the maturity date (the “2012 Conversion Price”).

The 2012 Investors have the right, at any time after December 31, 2017, to require the 2012 Debentures to be repaid in full by cash from the Debenture Account, and to the extent such cash is not available, by shares of Common Stock at the 2012 Conversion Price.  The Company has the right, at any time after December 31, 2018, to require the 2012 Debentures to be repaid in full by cash, shares of Common Stock at the 2012 Conversion Price, or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock.
 
 
 
21

 

 
The 2012 Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.10 per share until the earlier of December 31, 2019 or when the Investor no longer holds any 2012 Debentures. The 2012 Warrants are also exercisable on a cashless basis at any time.  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the 2012 Warrants is equal to 50% of the then outstanding principal amount of the 2012 Debenture held by such 2012 Investor divided by the 2012 Conversion Price.

Other

During the third quarter of 2011, the Company borrowed an additional $100,000 on its $200,000 line of credit agreement with a financial institution which was guaranteed by two directors. The line of credit agreement, which bears interest at the greater of 6% or prime rate plus 1.0% (4.25% at December 31, 2011), was to mature on September 30, 2011. The line of credit agreement was renewed through September 30, 2012 with a $100,000 credit limit. The renewed line bears interest at the greater of 5.75% or prime rate plus 1.0% (4.25% at December 31, 2011). One of the guarantors invested $100,000 in the 2011 Debentures and did not renew his guarantee of the renewal line so that investment was used to retire outstanding principal on the line.

In April 2011, the Company placed $50,000 in promissory notes with a shareholder who is a qualified investor.  The notes were unsecured and provided for accrued interest of prime plus 3% (6.25% as of September 30, 2011) payable on maturity at September 30, 2011.  On September 8, 2011, the Company placed an additional $54,000 promissory note with the same shareholder. That note was secured by the unencumbered 75% of license fees on licensed products secondary to the security interest of a financial institution and provided for accrued interest at 12% payable on maturity at September 30, 2011. Accrued interest of $1,178 at September 30, 2011 was paid on October 20, 2011. On October 1, 2011, the Company combined the shareholder loans into one promissory note for $104,000, which matures on December 31, 2012 and carries the same terms as the September 8, 2011 note. The Company has agreed to apply ten percent (10%) of the net proceeds from license fees on licensed products to the reduction of principal.

The Company lacks growth capital and anticipates that approximately $1.5 million in additional investment capital will be required during the next 12 months to sustain its current operations and business plan. The funds are expected to be raised from operating revenues, intellectual property license fees, exercise of warrants held by current investors, and the sale of equity and/or debt securities.   There is no assurance that capital in any form will be available to us and, if available, on terms and conditions that are acceptable. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funds, we will not be able to implement our growth strategy.

To lower our required cash expenditures for the calendar year 2011, the Company issued 17,467,516 shares of common stock in the to  vendors and 3,924,685 shares of common stock to directors and employees for compensation for services.

Net cash outflow from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2011 was $1,365,000 which was a decrease in use of cash of $111,000 from $1,475,000 net cash outflow from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2010. Less cash was used in operating activities as a result of issuing common stock, in lieu of cash, for advisory services.

Investing Activities:
 
Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2011 was $613,000, which was an increase of $624,000 from $11,000 net cash provided by investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase is primarily due to $211,000 increase in investment in capitalized software development costs and the $417,000 net proceeds received in 2010 from the sale of digiTicket.

The Company invested $578,244 in ReFormXT capitalized development costs from 2005 through 2008 and commenced amortizing the product over a 36 month period in December 2008 which concluded in December 2011 with $578,244 and $393,527 accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively. The Company netted the fully amortized costs in December 2011. The Company invested $84,944 in ReFormXT iPhone capitalized development costs between December 2008 and October 2009. The iPhone capitalized costs are being amortized over a 36 month period commencing November 2010 with $33,034 in accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2011. The Company invested $232,302 and $217,228 in 2011 and 2010 for Insight Powered by ReFormXT product capitalized development and expects to continue investing in these products in 2012.  The ReFormXT for Blackberry and Android costs are being capitalized separately with ongoing investment expected in 2012. The Company invested $32,283 and $91,183 in 2011 and 2010 for capitalized development costs for the Blackberry platform and invested $165,144 in 2011 for capitalized development costs for the Android platform. ReFormXT and Powered by ReFormXT products, rebranded as IllumeSentral in Q4 2011, have contributed less than 6% of annual revenue in 2011.
 
The Company began investing in an e-Marketplace Growth Strategy, code named MoBiz, in November 2008 and continued developing the strategy through 2010, capitalizing a total of $337,059. MoBiz is centered on the aggregation of all mobile software, hardware, accessories and services in cooperation with our partners, and marketing those using new web-based methods. Due to the general downturn in the national economy, the partner companies involved in developing MoBiz became unable to help finance its completion. Consequently, the Company chose to temporarily cease continued development 2010 while it focused on launching the Illume Mobile Division. The technology underlying MoBiz has been usable in other projects during 2011 and the Company is evaluating ways to monetize the strategy in 2012.

Financing Activities:
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,064,000 in 2011 compared with $1,600,000 for the same period in 2010, an increase of $464,000.  Cash provided by financing activities in 2011 was primarily from $1,525,000 net proceeds from sales of convertible debentures and $340,000 net proceeds from short term shareholder loans.
 
Since our inception, we have experienced negative cash flow from operations and expect to experience significant negative cash flow from operations in the future.  We require substantial working capital to fund our business. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or convertible debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of holders of our common stock and they may experience additional dilution. We cannot predict whether additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. The issuance of additional common stock by our management may have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our common stock, including investors in this offering.  Historically, we have financed our cash needs by private placements of our securities. We have registered the privately issued securities for resale. We intend to finance future cash needs primarily through equity offerings but may fund those needs through debt offerings. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on terms consistent with our past financings or satisfactory to use.
 
As of December 31, 2011, our common stock is the only class of stock outstanding and we have $2,687,500 in long-term debt that consists of convertible secured debentures and a note from the State of Oklahoma Technology Business Finance Program.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The Company’s accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the Financial Statements. As disclosed in Note 1, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported n the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the Company’s most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

Revenue Recognition:
 
Revenues from intellectual property licenses are recognized upon receipt. When intellectual property licenses are received under a contingent fee agreement with the law firm of Antonelli, Harrington & Thompson LLP, the applicable contingent legal expense is recorded as a cost of sale. In the event a non-exclusive intellectual property license is granted within the scope of a contracted project, ten percent (10%) of the contract amount is deemed to be payment for the license.  Revenue from software product licensing is recognized ratably over the license period.

Solution services revenues consist primarily of professional services contracted to third party customers under contract for specific projects. Contracted projects that are fixed price are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Revenue from contracted projects that are for provision of services is recognized at the time the service is provided. Revenue from setup fees, marketing and other services is recognized at the time the service is provided.
 
Software Development Costs:
 
The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with ASC 985-10, “Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”.  Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred as research and development costs.  Costs incurred after establishing technological feasibility and before the product is released for sale to customers are capitalized.  These costs are amortized over three years and are reviewed for impairment at each period end.
 
Stock-Based Compensation:
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Compensation Costs”. ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. The Company issues Restricted Stock Awards which vest over six month in the case of salary differential awards and over three years in the case of bonus plans to employees. If the employee elects 83(b) tax treatment of the award, the fair market value is recognized as compensation in the month of the election.
 
Income Taxes:
 
The Company currently has substantial net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of their ultimate realization. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The Boards initially proposed a joint model describing when it is appropriate to offset financial assets and liabilities on the balance sheet that would have been close to the more restrictive IFRS approach, but instead decided to focus on developing common disclosure requirements. New disclosures are required to enable users of financial statements to understand significant quantitative differences in balance sheets prepared under US GAAP and IFRS related to the offsetting of financial instruments. The existing US GAAP guidance allowing balance sheet offsetting, including industry-specific guidance, remains unchanged. The Company does not offset financial instruments and therefore does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-11 to have a material effect on our financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. In December 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12 deferring the effective date of ASU 2011-05. ASU 2022-05 amends the guidance in ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income” by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income (OCI) in the statement of stockholders’ equity. Instead, the new guidance now requires entities to present all non owner changes in stockholders’ equity either as a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or as two separate but consecutive statements. The Company does not have other comprehensive income and therefore does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-05 to have a material effect on our financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement”. This guidance amends the application of the “highest and best use” concept to be used only in the measurement of fair value of nonfinancial assets, clarifies that the measurement of the fair value of equity-classified financial instruments should be performed from the perspective of a market participant who holds the instrument as an asset, clarifies that an entity that manages a group of financial assets and liabilities on the basis of its net risk exposure can measure those financial instruments on the basis of its net exposure to those risks, and clarifies when premiums and discounts should be taken into account when measuring fair value. The fair value disclosure requirements also were amended. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact the amended guidance will have on its financial statements.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on management’s evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC 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.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(c) Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011.

This annual report does not include an attestation report by Hood Sutton Robinson & Freeman CPAs, P.C., our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  As a smaller reporting company, our management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

This column represents the total number of votes each named stockholder is entitled to vote upon matters presented to the shareholders for a vote.
 
(2)
The percentages in the table have been calculated on the basis of treating as outstanding for a particular person, all shares of our capital stock outstanding on March 2, 2012.  On March 2, 2012, there were 127,721,363 shares of our common stock outstanding.  To calculate a stockholder's percentage of beneficial ownership, we include in the numerator and denominator the common stock outstanding and all shares of our common stock issuable to that person in the event of the exercise of outstanding options and other derivative securities owned by that person which are exercisable within 60 days of March 2, 2012.  Common stock options and derivative securities held by other stockholders are disregarded in this calculation. Therefore, the denominator used in calculating beneficial ownership among our stockholders may differ. Unless we have indicated otherwise, each person named in the table below has sole voting power and investment power for the shares listed opposite such person's name.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
MacroSolve, Inc.
Tulsa, Oklahoma

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MacroSolve, Inc. at December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These 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 audit in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MacroSolve, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Nature of Operations
 
MacroSolve, Inc. (the Company) was formed in January 1997.  The Company is engaged in the design, delivery and integration of custom solutions for the application of mobile technology in business processes.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Segment Reporting

The Company has determined it has one reporting unit.

Cash Equivalents
 
Cash equivalents are represented by operating accounts or money market accounts maintained with insured financial institutions.

Accounts Receivable and Credit Policies

Trade accounts receivable consist of amounts due from the sale of solution services, software and hardware.  Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days of receipt of the invoice.  The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable.  In many instances, customers make a substantial prepayment for services before rendered; therefore the Company is extending trade terms to customers who have already proven to be credit worthy. The Company has recorded less than $500 in direct write offs of bad debts in the past five years. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company deems all amounts recorded as collectible and, thus has not provided an allowance for uncollectible amounts.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment is recorded at cost when acquired.  Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which is 3-7 years for equipment, furniture and fixtures, hardware and software.  Leasehold improvements are being amortized over a 7 year estimated useful life.  Property and equipment consists of the following at December 31, 2011 and 2010:
 
   
2011
   
2010
 
Hardware
  $ 128,990     $ 98,220  
Furniture and fixtures
    109,413       109,413  
Office equipment
    24,904       23,786  
Leasehold improvements
    22,669       22,669  
      285,976       254,088  
Less - accumulated depreciation
    188,016       162,194  
    $ 97,960     $ 91,894  
 
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized.

Revenue Recognition and Unearned Revenue

Revenues from intellectual property licenses are recognized upon receipt. When intellectual property licenses are received under a contingent fee agreement with the law firm of Antonelli, Harrington & Thompson LLP, the applicable contingent legal expense is recorded as a cost of sale. In the event a non-exclusive intellectual property license is granted within the scope of a contracted project, ten percent (10%) of the contract amount is deemed to be payment for the license.  Revenue from software product licensing is recognized ratably over the license period.

Solution services revenues consist primarily of professional services contracted to third party customers under contract for specific projects. Contracted projects that are fixed price are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Revenue from contracted projects that are for provision of services is recognized at the time the service is provided. Revenue from setup fees, marketing and other services is recognized at the time the service is provided.
 
Software Development Costs
 
The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with ASC 985-20, “Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”.  Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred as research and development costs.  Costs incurred after establishing technological feasibility and before the product is released for sale to customers are capitalized.  These costs are amortized over three years and are reviewed for impairment at each period end.  Amortization expense approximated $215,845 and $227,388 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Realization of software development costs is dependent on the Company generating sufficient future profitability.  Although the Company expects to fully realize the software development costs, that expectation could change in the near term if estimates of future profitability are not achieved.

Income Taxes Costs
 
The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (SFAS No. 109).  SFAS No. 109 requires the measurement of deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards, and of deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences.  Measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of enacted tax law.  The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not included in the measurement.  The Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events and transactions that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns.  The Company currently has substantial net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of their ultimate realization.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

The Company uses the Black-Sholes model for determining the value of the options. One of the factors required to compute the options price is volatility of the stock price. The Company’s own stock commenced public trading in August, 2008; however due to initially thin trading activity, management determined that the technology sector fund XLK and it’s standard deviation would continue to be used to provide the volatility factor required to compute the option value.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair value of financial instruments
 
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying value of the Company's line of credit approximates fair value since the interest rate fluctuates periodically based on a floating interest rate. The carrying value of the Company’s convertible debentures approximates fair value since the interest rate is stated in the instrument. Management believes that the carrying value of the Company's borrowings approximate fair value based on credit terms currently available for similar debt.
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”.  This Statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.  No impairment charges were incurred during the periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
 
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting

In December 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The Boards initially proposed a joint model describing when it is appropriate to offset financial assets and liabilities on the balance sheet that would have been close to the more restrictive IFRS approach, but instead decided to focus on developing common disclosure requirements. New disclosures are required to enable users of financial statements to understand significant quantitative differences in balance sheets prepared under US GAAP and IFRS related to the offsetting of financial instruments. The existing US GAAP guidance allowing balance sheet offsetting, including industry-specific guidance, remains unchanged. The Company does not offset financial instruments and therefore does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-11 to have a material effect on our financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. In December 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12 deferring the effective date of ASU 2011-05. ASU 2022-05 amends the guidance in ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income” by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income (OCI) in the statement of stockholders’ equity. Instead, the new guidance now requires entities to present all non owner changes in stockholders’ equity either as a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or as two separate but consecutive statements. The Company does not have other comprehensive income and therefore does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-05 to have a material effect on our financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement”. This guidance amends the application of the “highest and best use” concept to be used only in the measurement of fair value of nonfinancial assets, clarifies that the measurement of the fair value of equity-classified financial instruments should be performed from the perspective of a market participant who holds the instrument as an asset, clarifies that an entity that manages a group of financial assets and liabilities on the basis of its net risk exposure can measure those financial instruments on the basis of its net exposure to those risks, and clarifies when premiums and discounts should be taken into account when measuring fair value. The fair value disclosure requirements also were amended. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact the amended guidance will have on its financial statements.

2.  MANAGEMENT’S PLAN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.

The Company incurred a net loss of $2,534,444 in 2011 which increased the accumulated deficit to $12,674,194 at December 31, 2011.  This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management believes that adequate funding will be available to the Company to support its operations through continuing investments of equity by qualified investors, internally generated working capital and monetization of intellectual property assets.

3.
NOTE RECEIVABLE
 
 Note receivable at December 31, 2011 and 2010 consist of the following:     2011     2010

Under the Master Services Agreement, customer may borrow up to $150,000 to finance development work  with interest accrued monthly at prime rate plus 5% (8.25% at September 30, 2009), due June 30, 2011. The note may be converted to common stock of the borrower prior to the due date at MacroSolve’s discretion. The Company is currently evaluating the conversion option.

DEBENTURES AND NOTES PAYABLE
 
 
Notes payable at December 31, 2011 and 2010 consist of the following:    2011      2010  
             
On July 17, 2011, the Company began offering its Convertible Debentures Series 2011 and Series B Warrants to purchase common stock to accredited investors. The Debentures mature on December 31, 2016. The Company has not established a minimum or maximum offering size; its goal is $1,000,000 in aggregate subscriptions exclusive of the exchange of previously issued debentures. The proceeds from this offering will be used by the Company for working capital to increase its market share from the sale of mobile apps in dining and other vertical markets and may include working capital for acquired companies. The offering will continue until December 31, 2011 unless terminated by the Company at an earlier date.            
             
The 2011 Debentures will earn interest at the annual rate of 12% which will be paid quarterly exclusively from the Debenture Account at management’s discretion. Principal on the Debentures will be prepaid quarterly as the Debenture Account permits. The Debenture Account will be set up with a financial institution for the deposit of 25% of any recovery it receives from any judgment or settlement in any infringement case or claim it prosecutes. The Debentures may be converted to common stock by the holder into the number of shares that could have been purchased with 200% of the principal amount of the Debenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest and the shares valued using the weighted average price for a five-day trading period preceding the Debenture investment provided however, that the conversion price shall not be less than ten cents per share at any time and the conversion price shall not be more than ten cents per share for investments made prior to October 1, 2011. By resolution of the Board on December 16, 2011, the ten cent conversion price per share was extended to investments made after October 1, 2011. The Investors will also acquire Common Stock Series B Warrants in an amount equal to the shares of common stock that could be purchased at the Debenture conversion price. Each warrant has a term of five years.   $  896,161     $  -  
                 
On April 11, 2011, the Company began offering its Convertible Debentures Series 2011 and Series A Warrants to purchase common stock to accredited investors. The Debentures mature on December 31, 2016. The Company has not established a minimum or maximum offering size; its goal is $1,000,000 in aggregate subscriptions exclusive of the exchange of previously issued debentures. The proceeds from this offering will be used by the Company for working capital to increase its market share from the sale of mobile apps in dining and other vertical markets and may include working capital for acquired companies. The offering will continue until December 31, 2011 unless terminated by the Company at an earlier date.  The offering was closed on July 13, 2011 with a total of $950,000 in new investments and $725,000 in converted investments.                
                 
The 2011 Debentures will earn interest at the annual rate of 12% which will be paid quarterly exclusively from the Debenture Account. Principal on the Debentures will be prepaid quarterly as the Debenture Account permits. The Debenture Account will be set up with a financial institution for the deposit of 25% of any recovery it receives from any judgment or settlement in any infringement case or claim it prosecutes. The Debentures may be converted to common stock by the holder into the number of shares that could have been purchased with 200% of the principal amount of the Debenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest and the shares valued using the weighted average price for a five-day trading period preceding the Debenture investment. The Investors will also acquire Common Stock Series A Warrants in an amount equal to the shares of common stock that could be purchased at 50% of the Debenture conversion price. Each warrant has a term of five years.   $  1,675,000             -   
                 
On November 8, 2010, the Company began selling Convertible Debentures Series 2010 plus Series B Warrants. The Company has not established a minimum or maximum offering size; however, it exceeded its goal of $750,000 in aggregate subscriptions.   The debentures accrue interest at 2.0% per annum with interest paid at maturity. The offering was closed on November 17, 2010.                
                 
The debentures may be prepaid in full for one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the face amount of the debenture if notice of prepayment is given by the Company before July 1, 2011. Prepayment may be made in cash or shares of common stock at the election of the Company. If the prepayment is made in shares of common stock the shares will be valued at the volume weighted average price of the shares for the five-day trading period before the notice of prepayment.

On September 23, 2011, shareholders approved 10,000,000 shares of restricted common stock for management incentive plans. On that date, the Company adopted the 2011 MacroSolve, Inc. Key Employee Stock Incentive Plan. The purpose of this Plan is to provide competitive incentives that will enable the Company to attract, retain, motivate, and reward Key Employees of the Company. The approved shares may be granted as Stock Bonus Awards, Performance Unit Awards, or Restricted Stock Awards, and/or Options, which may be Incentive Stock Options or Non-Statutory Stock Options. During 2011, 4,368,431 options were issued, as follows:

At the end of the second quarter 2010, employees were granted 941,500 shares of registered compensation shares under the 2010 Employee Bonus award plan. These shares will be distributed on a three year vesting schedule to employees who remain with the Company as of the distribution dates. The Company valued these awards at $942 which was the amount of compensation employees elected to take within 30 days of the grant on 83(b) elections filed with the Internal Revenue Service. The restricted stock award agreements bear a substantial risk of forfeiture by the employee in the event of their voluntary termination. Since grant, 155,500 shares have been forfeited by terminated employees. On July 12, 2011, 271,168 shares vested to fourteen employees. Remaining unvested shares are 257,418 and 257,414 which will vest on July 12, 2012 and 2013 respectively.

 
Prior to going public, the company used the calculated value method to account for the options. Under this method, a nonpublic entity that is unable to estimate the expected volatility of the price of its underlying share may measure awards based on a “calculated value,” which substitutes the volatility of an appropriate index for the volatility of the entity’s own share price.  Although the Company became publicly traded in August 2008, the stock has been so thinly traded from that time until the present, that management determined it was unable to estimate the expected volatility of the stock price. In addition, management has not been able to identify a similar publicly held entity that can be used as a benchmark. Therefore, as a substitute for volatility, the Company used the historical volatility of the Technology Select Sector (XLK) index which is representative of the Company’s industry. The Company has used the historical closing values of that index to estimate volatility for the valuation of options in 2011 and 2010.
 
The calculated value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which values options based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date, the option strike price, the expected life of the option, the estimated volatility of the stock, the expected dividend payments, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option.  The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted is based on the vesting period and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Stock based compensation expense of  $-0- and $160 was recognized in 2011 and 2010 respectively for director options. Stock based compensation expense of $-0- was recognized in 2011 for employee options based on the Black Scholes computation. Because there were no employee options issued in 2010, no Black Scholes computation was required.

Stock Based Compensation

Certain executive and management employees receive salary compensation in the form of restricted stock awards which vest over six months and which bear a substantial risk of forfeiture in the event of voluntary termination. Compensation expense for stock awards is recognized ratably over the implicit vesting period from date of grant to the termination of the trust.  Compensation expense for stock awards is based upon the estimated market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. When the employee receiving the grant makes an 83(b) election, the compensation expense is recognized in the month of the election for the fair market value at the time of the election. In 2011 and 2010, all employees receiving stock awards elected 83(b) tax treatment. Because of low trading volumes and the history of operating losses, the Board approved a valuation of $.001 - $.002 per share for restricted awards issued in 2011 and 2010. This valuation is reviewed quarterly. The Company granted 3,924,685 shares of restricted common stock in 2011 to employees and directors for compensation earned in the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first three quarters of 2011 and valued these awards at $8,576 based on the fair market value which employees claimed in tax elections to recognize compensation at the date of the grant.   The Company recognized stock based compensation expense related to all equity awards, including salary differential stock awards, stock bonus plans, and Board of Director compensation, totaling  $97,506, and $108,404, for the years ended December 31, 2011, and 2010, respectively.
 
Incentive Stock Options

The Company discontinued its practice of issuing incentive stock options to employees as compensation in 2009 when it began issuing restricted stock grants as compensation. Restricted stock awards are granted and after six months, the restriction lapses. The Company granted 1,761,569 options to directors and managers in 2011 under the MacroSolve, Inc. Compensation and Stock Plan 2008-2010 and 4,338,431 options to directors, managers and employees under the 2011 MacroSolve, Inc. Key Employee Stock Incentive Plan with exercise prices between $.20 and $.50. The combined 6,100,000 directors and management options vest twenty percent any time the company’s stock trades for five continuous days at whole dollar increments of $1.00 - $5.00.  The 30,000 options issued to employees as employment incentives vest prorata over five years and have an exercise price between $.15 and $.21. There was no incentive stock options issued to employees in 2010. The incentive options expire five years from the date of issuance and are forfeited if employment ceases.
