PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This periodic report contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive positions, growth opportunities for existing products, plans and objectives of management. Statements in this periodic report that are not historical facts are hereby identified as “forward-looking statements.”

Overview

Calibrus, Inc. is a technology based company established in 1999.  We have had two business units that leverage our technology capabilities.  We have provided Hosted Business Solutions for twelve years and have expanded our offerings to offer a social networking site called JabberMonkey (Jabbermonkey.com) and a location-based, social networking application for smart phones called Fanatic Fans.

On June 15, 2012, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to sell substantially all of the assets related to the Company’s Third Party Verification business to Calibrus Hosted Business Solutions, LLC (“CHBS”).  The Company made this decision to focus on its Social Networking operations which currently include Fanatic Fans, a mobile smartphone application centered around live sporting and entertainment events, and JabberMonkey, a social expression website centered around gathering public opinion on current events.   However, the sale of the Third Party Verification Business did not close.  The Company fully intends to still divest itself of the Third Party Verification Business and focus on its Social Networking operations.  As a result, the operations of the Company’s Third Party Verification business have been classified as assets held for sale in the balance sheet presentation and as discontinued operations in the presentation of the statements of operations.

The sale of the Company’s assets to CHBS required that the Company receive shareholder approval for the divestiture.  On August 22, 2012 the Company held a special shareholder’s meeting to approve the sale along with changing the name of the Company from Calibrus, Inc. to Fanatic Fans and approval of the 2012 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan.  All three of these measures received approval by the shareholders.  When the sale of the TPV Business to CHBS was cancelled the Board of Directors decided not to adopt the name change; however,  the 2012  Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan is in effect.

Calibrus has leveraged our technology capabilities to expand into the growing market of social marketing.  Leveraging the software development experience we have obtained over the last 10 years, we created the site JabberMonkey.com.  JabberMonkey is a site where users can have an interactive experience of asking questions of other members, post comments and have ongoing interactive video and text chats.  We have also developed a location based social networking application that focuses on live events such as sporting events and music concerts.

Calibrus Social Media Products and Services - JabberMonkey.com and Fanatic Fans
 
The following descriptions of Fanatic Fans and Jabber Monkey assume that we will obtain the capital required to continue the development of these social medial/social networking products and that they are in operation, which is not the case.  Due to our lack of capital and inability to sell our Hosted Business Solutions business we have suspended the development of both of these projects.
 
Fanatic Fans

In the second half of 2010 we commenced development of a location based social networking application for smart phones called Fanatic Fans.  The Fanatic Fans application had been live on the Apple AppStore and Android Marketplace since April 2011, however due to a lack of operating system upgrades, the applications have recently become unavailable on the AppStore and Android Marketplace.

Fanatic Fans informs fans about upcoming live events in the Sports and Music industries by giving users the ability to interact with live events, share their experiences, and earn rewards for attending live events.   Users can browse a calendar of upcoming events which can be segmented by region and artist.  Users can get detailed information on the event and discuss the event with other fans.  While at an event, users can share their experiences with social networks Facebook and Twitter, and communicate with other people at the event.  Users can unlock virtual awards and earn virtual points in recognition of attending events.  Within their profile, users can browse and view the items they have unlocked and receive news on their favorite artists.  Finally, users can redeem their virtual points for food/drinks, apparel and purchase event tickets in the application award section. 

Fanatic Fans rewards fans for their support of their favorite sports team, music artist or band.  National and local businesses market to fans that attend the events by listing promotions (goods and services) on our application.  Businesses list their promotions (i.e. After the Diamondbacks Game Come to Hanney’s Restaurant and Receive “One Free Beer” or “50% Off any Appetizer!” Redeem for 50 Points) and users can view and redeem these promotions and offers that are specific to their interests.   Fanatic Fans offers contests and provides recognition to the most Fanatic Fans.

Functionality

When a user is at an event the app automatically determines the event their attending using the phones GPS.  The user is able to view information on the show including a list of the artists performing at the show.  There is a forum that users can make comments about upcoming events which also allows fans to interact with one another while at the show.  Comments made by users can go directly to Facebook and Twitter if the user chooses to link their Fanatic Fans account.  While attending an event users can check in.  By checking in the user will unlock a virtual award which can also be published to Facebook and Twitter.  Users also earn virtual currency by checking into a location.  After checking in the user will return to the comments page where they can continue to read and add comments about the show.

When users are not at a show they can use Fanatic Fans to locate upcoming shows.  They browse a calendar of all upcoming shows and sort by location and the artists that they follow.  Users can get information on the show including time, location, and performing artists.  Users can view tips created by other members and add tips of their own.  Finally users confirm that they are going to attend an event and tell their friends by publishing to Facebook and Twitter. 

Fanatic Fans features a profile page which allows users to view their past activity within the app and receive news updates on their favorite artists.  They are able to view all of the awards that they have unlocked, and all of the shows that they have attended.  They also receive the latest news posts of some of their favorite music artists.  Finally, users can adjust their personal settings from their profile including which artists they wish to follow, their home town, and their Facebook and Twitter account information.

Additionally, on FanaticFans.com website users can view a complete listing of discount offers by merchants on food, drinks, merchandise and tickets.  Users can check out all upcoming sports and music events in their area and other cities around the nation and review all of their live event comments, pictures and videos in their profile page.
 
Fanatic Fans Facebook Application

Facebook users can earn rewards for attending their favorite live events and using the Fanatic Fans Facebook or mobile applications.  Facebook users can access a complete listing of merchant discount offers on food, drinks, merchandise and tickets and look up discounts nearby and redeem rewards using the Fanatic Fans mobile application.
 
 Competition

Fanatic Fans will be entering into one of the fastest growing segments of location based social networking and as such will face intense competition from applications such as Foursquare and Gowalla.  Competitors in this space are very well financed and have the advantage of having already captured consumers that may be unwilling to switch to a new application. At this time, we have no intellectual property protection and are only now preparing preliminary patent and trademark filings.  It is still unknown if any of our filings will lead to actually receiving provisional patents or final patents or trademarks. 

Start-ups, such as SuperGlued and Flow'd, are recognizing the opportunities presented in specific market verticals related to check-in. Niche strategy is likely to be the next wave in location-based social-networking and we believe this is where the greatest opportunity for frequent sustained usage exists.  

                Marketing

Fanatic Fans marketing will develop awareness by cultivating partnerships with Universities, utilizing traditional advertising mediums and implementing web 2.0 marketing techniques with the goal of delivering Fanatic Fans to the right people at the right place.  We will utilize in-house personnel and outside agencies to make Fanatic Fans relevant to its target audience.  Fanatic Fans is a global application but our marketing strategies will initially be very targeted to just several geographic locations.

Fanatic Fans has partnered with Grand Canyon University, a school with 5,000 students in Phoenix, AZ and Denver University a school with 12,000 students in Denver, CO.  Fanatic Fans has signed a co-marketing agreement with each school which calls for the following marketing initiatives by the Universities.

Fanatic Fans had engaged the Artigue Agency, a local marketing company in Phoenix, AZ, to assist with the Fanatic Fans Marketing & Public Relations campaign.  Fanatic Fans utilized the Artigue Agency in certain marketing areas that provided the best value and highest impact for creating Fanatic Fans app awareness and obtaining downloads.  The Company has suspended any marketing and public relations related to Fanatic Fans until it has sufficient capital to commence these activities.

The Artigue Agency, along with IMG, performed Event Marketing at every home football game of the Arizona State University Football games during September 2011– December 2011.  Fanatic Fans was positioned in front of the college football target audiences by participation in various media advertisements.

Additionally, Fanatic Fans has developed a Fanatic Fans website and Facebook application whereby individuals can access the website to view Fanatic Fans event content from the online website as well as Facebook users can access the Fanatic Fans content posted on Fanatic Fans without ever having to log out from their Facebook account.  Facebook users will be able to access live event content such as comments, pictures and videos posted by Fanatic Fans.  The Fanatic Fans Facebook app is currently available for download in the App section of Facebook.  However due to a lack of operating system upgrades, the applications have recently become unavailable on the AppStore and Android Marketplace.

Revenue Model

Our initial revenue model will be based on advertising.  As such, we do not anticipate any revenue for some time.  To be able to sell advertisements we will need to have a certain level of users.  If we are not able to attract sufficient users, we will not be able to sell any advertisements. 
 
The Company also intends on generating revenue from monthly fees for businesses listing promotions inside of the application.  To be able to charge businesses a monthly fee we will need to have a certain level of users on the app.  If we are not able to attract sufficient users, we will not be able to charge a monthly fee.

Lastly, we intend to partner with one or several ticketing companies and achieve a revenue share agreement for tickets that are sold to live events through the Fanatic Fans application.  To be able to achieve a revenue share agreement we will need to have a certain level of users on the app.  If we are not able to attract sufficient users, it may be unlikely that we can achieve a revenue share agreement with any ticketing company.
 
Technology

The Fanatic Fans application can be used by Apple and Android Smart Phones.  The application will utilize GPS functionality built into smart phones along with existing data and Wi-Fi capabilities. 

Development

The Company has developed both an iPhone and Android version of Fanatic Fans and the Fanatic Fans website and Fanatic Fans Facebook Application.  Due to limited cash flow, the Company has ceased current development on its Fanatic Fans project, but intends to commence development following the sale of the Company’s Third Party Verification business.  The Company is currently spending minimal expenditures in maintaining the project until the sale can be completed.

JabberMonkey.com

JabberMonkey is a social expression site that features questions on issues and topics that are current and relevant to its members.  JabberMonkey questions are on pertinent issues that in many instances evoke an emotional response from its members.  Many of the questions on JabberMonkey provide the individuals voting with a voice to cause an action or affect a result.  

There are many emotional issues or events that occur around the world that JabberMonkey posts questions about allowing JabberMonkey members to express themselves, participate and cause an action or outcome.   One could imagine what some of these might be:

·           A famous rock band might participate with JabberMonkey and allow JabberMonkey members to vote on the songs and the order the songs would be played at their next concert.

·           A business wants to get individuals to provide feedback and name their next product.  JabberMonkey members can vote, provide feedback about the product and name the new product.

·           A famous sports athlete through a video blog asks the question “if I win the US Open Golf Tournament what charity should I donate $250,000 of the $1,000,000 prize money?”  Whichever charity has the most votes, wins and that is who will get the money.

a)      American Red Cross
b)      PETA
c)      The Make a Wish Foundation
d)      Boys and Girls Club of America
e)      Breast Cancer Research Foundation

JabberMonkey members vote and provide their comments on an issue and then see instant feedback on how others are feeling about a topic or issue and view comments made by others. JabberMonkey members express themselves by answering questions, posting their own questions, text blogging, video blogging, participating in forums, creating profiles, posting videos, photos, audio files, and rate other JabberMonkey members questions and content. 
                                                                      
JabberMonkey members are able to meet new people and make new friends.  When answering a question or participating

in a group, members can meet people with similar interests and are able to become friends on JabberMonkey.  They can then communicate via messaging, chat, and video voice calling as well as sharing photos, videos and other electronic media. 
  
JabberMonkey questions range across all categories of life, and run the gamut from serious to silly.  The categories and sub-categories will allow for targeted feedback. Categories range from Entertainment to Music and Business, etc.   Each category contains subcategories to encompass a wide range of topics and interests.

In addition to being able to conduct polls and questions, JabberMonkey offers a unique user experience by being able to offer interactive communication and high definition video.  While most social networking sites offer only a static page for the user, JabberMonkey offers video communications between multiple users at once, the ability to quickly load video, and the ability to set up groups or companies into secure sites.  JabberMonkey also takes advantage of other companies’ storage by allowing links to other web sites such as YouTube or Google.

Calibrus’ focus has been to develop and distinguish JabberMonkey from the other social networking sites, which are very static and rely only on instant messaging and fixed web pages.  Calibrus feels it has designed a site that is easy to use and is video intensive with user friendly software for video attachment and conferencing.

JabberMonkey completed its alpha testing and moved into beta testing in December 2009.  The Beta testing ran through the end of November 2010 and the first official non-beta version of the website was released in December 2010.  We do not have the capital required to support the website or commence our marketing plan related to the website.

                Competition

JabberMonkey will be entering into one of the fastest growing segments of the internet and as such will face intense competition from sites such as MySpace and Facebook.  Although Calibrus believes the JabberMonkey site offers new features, it is likely the other sites will soon be able to offer similar features.  Competitors in this space are very well financed and have the advantage of having already captured consumers that may be unwilling to switch to a new site. At this time, we have no intellectual property protection and are only now preparing preliminary patent and trademark filings.  It is still unknown if any of our filings will lead to actually receiving provisional patents or final patents or trademarks.  Although we believe our site offers unique features, we cannot say if other companies are developing similar features to their social networking sites.  Additionally, many of the features of our site could be developed by other sites with variations that could possibly get around any intellectual property protections we are able to obtain. 

The competition we face will make it difficult to attract customers from established sites such as Facebook and MySpace given their financial capabilities.   Additionally, we believe we have only a small window to establish our site as being unique before the other social networking sites are able to come up with similar offerings.  If we are unsuccessful in the short term in establishing a unique site that draws consumers, it will be difficult to compete against the other sites that we assume are working on similar interactive features.  Additionally, some of these sites are backed by the largest players in the industry such as Google which can provide financial support far beyond anything we can raise at this time or in the perceived future. 
               
Marketing

Our initial marketing will be aimed at attracting consumers from focusing on affinity sites and limited advertising on college and sports talk shows.  We believe initial consumers can be attracted through links on web pages at Facebook, MySpace and Twitter.  However, to attract these users we first must establish JabberMonkey as a unique interactive experience that differs from the other social networking sites.

This initial marketing effort will be directed at targeted groups and communities which would see the advantage of being able to communicate on their topic areas and have on-line conversations.   Such groups would be gamers, sports

enthusiast, school communities, clubs and political or civic organizations.   To this end, we are reviewing the cost to advertise on radio, particularly sports radio, and on certain online sites.  As our capital for marketing is very limited, we may have to focus initially on one advertising market or focus on slow growth and word of mouth communications depending on the final development cost of the JabberMonkey site and how much capital we were able to raise. 

                Revenue Model

Our initial revenue model is based on advertising.  As such, we do not anticipate any revenue for some time.  To be able to sell advertisements on our site, we will need to have a certain level of users.  If we are not able to attract sufficient users, we will not be able to sell any advertisements. 

We will also look at data mining as another source of revenue.  With our existing product line, we have gained some limited experience in data mining and believe it offers another revenue source to be able to obtain information from consumers using the JabberMonkey site and sell such information to companies that would be able to use the information in their advertising or other business needs.  This would not be an initial source of revenue as we will have to have sufficient users to make data mining effective and it will have to be developed with a view to not drive away potential users.

We also are analyzing charging consumers for certain features of our site but at this time, we believe it is more important to drive consumers to our site and will make everything available for free and focus on advertising revenues.  Once we obtain a certain level of users, we may start offering more products that we believe we can charge for such as storage or secure web pages for communications.  At this time, we do not know when we would be able to start charging for such product offerings, if ever.

Development

The Company closed the alpha testing phase of development during December 2009.  The site reached the beta testing phase in the first part of December 2009 and ran through November 2010.  The first non-beta version of the website went into operation in December 2010.  To date the Company has not begun to aggressively market the website due to a lack of sufficient capital.
 
Currently, JabberMonkey is not in operation or engaged in new development. The Company is spending only the minimal in maintenance to keep the website live.

                Intellectual Property

In addition to our own development team, we have contracted with Meomyo Development out of India to assist in the development of our JabberMonkey website.  Meomyo has expertise in the development of websites and interactive solutions for websites which our internal developers did not currently possess.  Meomyo’s contract gives the work product and intellectual property rights to Calibrus.  However, even with the rights provided to Calibrus, we cannot prevent them from taking their knowledge gained by working on the JabberMonkey site and applying it to other web developments.  The contract does attempt to limit the ability of Meomyo to provide services to competitors of Calibrus but given the geographical difficulty of policing an India company with offices in Dubai, it may not be possible to stop Meomyo from providing services. 

We will be dependent in many ways, on our ability to launch our site and attract consumers before our competitors can develop features which would be a direct competitor to the features in our site.  At this time, our ability to be able to attract consumers is unknown as we have only just completed the beta phase of development and released the website for general use and are not certain of the acceptance of our web site and interactive features.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts, including Duration

We protect some of our technology as trade secrets and, where appropriate, we use trademarks or register trademarks  in connection with products and our core name.  We currently have two patent applications on file with the US Patent and Trademark Office related to our JabberMonkey social expression website.  We have two trademarks covering our name “Calibrus” and “JabberMonkey” and have also applied for a trademark covering “Fanatic Fans”.

Research and Development Costs During the Last Two Fiscal Years

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company incurred Research and Development Costs of $1,382,100 and $1,472,113, respectively.  Research and Development expenses related primarily to the continued development  Fanatic Fans.   We expect as we expand into new markets we will continue to incur additional research and development costs.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

Calibrus’ operations are subject to a number of risks including, but not limited to:

Our independent registered public accounting firm in its audit report related to our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, express substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As a result of our recurring losses from operations and our net capital deficiency our independent registered accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.  The inclusion of a going concern explanatory paragraph in the report of our independent registered public accounting firm may make it more difficult for us to secure additional financing or enter into strategic relationships on terms acceptable to us, if at all, and may materially and adversely affect the terms of any financing we might obtain.
 
When the closing of the sale of the TPV Business did not occur, we did not receive sales proceeds and we incurred additional expense related to the the proposed  sale of the TPV Business.

We have incurred substantial expenses in connection with the sale of the TPV Business. These expenses could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the market price of our common stock could decline in the event that a sale of the TPV Business is not consummated because it may reflect an assumption that such sale will be completed.
 
If a sale of the TPV Business is not completed, we may have to revise our business strategy.

During the past several months, our management has been focused on, and has devoted significant resources to, the sale of the TPV Business. This focus is continuing and we have not pursued certain business opportunities which may have been beneficial to us. If the sale of the TPV Business is not completed and we do not raise additional capital to pursue our social media/networking projects, we will have to revisit our business strategy in an effort to determine what changes may be required in order for us to continue our operations. Further, we may need to consider raising additional capital or financing in order to continue as a going concern even if we do not pursue such projects or if the sale of the TPV Business is not completed. No assurance can be given whether we would be able to successfully raise capital or financing in such circumstances or, if so, under what terms.
 
The termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement could negatively impact the Company.

We may suffer various consequences due to the termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement. Our business may have been adversely impacted by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the sale of the TPV Business, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the sale of the TPV Business, or

 
10
 

the market price of the Company's common stock could decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the sale of the TPV Business will be completed. When the Asset Purchase Agreement was terminated and as the Company's Board of Directors seek another transaction or business combination, the Company's stockholders cannot be certain that the Company will be able to find a party willing to pay an equivalent or more attractive price than the price CHBS had agreed to pay in the sale of the TPV Business.

The Company may not have adequate liquidity to maintain its operations while a sale of the TPV Business is pending.

We require substantial liquidity to maintain our production facilities, meet scheduled debt and lease obligations and run our normal business operations. While the sale of the TPV Business is pending and we continue to operate at, or close to, the minimum cash levels necessary to support our normal business operations, our need for cash might continue to intensify and we may be unable to make payments to our suppliers.  If we are unable to meet our cash flow needs through operating revenue, there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain such working capital on terms acceptable to us or at all.

By completing a sale of the TPV Business, we will become less diversified.

By selling our TPV Business, we will be divesting ourselves of our only business segment that is generating revenue and cash flow. We will become a pure social media company focused on the development and commercialization of Fanatic Fans. We may also invest in or acquire other social media businesses or technologies in the future if an attractive opportunity presents itself and if we have sufficient capital to explore them, but we have no current opportunities or specific plans to do so at this time. The sale of our TPV Business increases our business risk because we will be less diversified than before such sale and because we do expect that Fanatic Fans, our remaining business, will generate any revenue in the immediate future.

After a sale of the TPV Business, we will become a pure social networking company in a highly competitive field with high investment costs and high risks.

After the sale, we will be a social media company, provided that we are able to obtain additional financing to pursue our Fanatic Fans project. We must achieve a certain level of users of Fanatic Fans before it can be monetized and produce revenue for us. We will have to raise substantial additional capital to drive users and merchants to Fanatic Fans and eventually generate revenues and reach profitability, if ever. We will be dependent upon selling advertisements and finding other ways to monetize our users by selling add-on services from merchants and third party service providers. For a social application or site to be able to sell advertisements, it must first attract a sufficient number of users to gain the interest of advertisers in buying ads and offering products on the site or the application. It will take time, management effort and capital to attract users to Fanatic Fans. There can be no assurance that any users will come.  These timeframes, along with the general state of development create additional uncertainty as to the potential success of Fanatic Fans.  The application may not continue to work as we plan and even if it does, there can be no assurance that an economically viable level of users will come, that advertisers will want to advertise or that we can monetize it.  Therefore, it will be costly to maintain the application and market it to attract users and advertisers.
 
We will need additional capital to operate Fanatic Fans.

We will require capital in addition to the proceeds received from a sale of the TPV Business to accomplish our business plan for Fanatic Fans.  Traditional forms of financing, such as bank loans, are not available to us.  We anticipate that it will be difficult to raise capital from other sources and the terms upon which we may be able to do so may not be favorable.  This may result in substantial dilution to current stockholders.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the required capital to develop and commercialize Fanatic Fans.

Management’s focus will be on the development and operations of  JabberMonkey and Fanatic Fans, both of which are new businesses and we do not know if consumers will like the site or that we will be able to monetize the site to produce revenues.

Management made the determination in late 2008 that its existing business model was going to face continued revenue reduction due to the consolidation in the telecommunication industry.  As such, management set out to develop alternative business operations that utilized the core expertise of Calibrus employees and technology.  The result of this development was Fanatic Fans, a location based social networking application for smart phones, and JabberMonkey, a social networking site that features interactive communications among its participants as opposed to the more traditional static pages found on most social networking sites.  As Fanatic Fans and JabberMonkey will increasingly be the focus of the business going forward, given sufficient financing, we will face competition from well established and funded companies.  Additionally, as a new business there is no guarantee our Fanatic Fans and JabberMonkey offerings will be successful in attracting users.  These factors create substantial risk for investors and the strong likelihood that any investment could result in the loss of an investor’s entire investment.

Both Fanatic Fans and JabberMonkey, are entering a very crowded social networking marketplace where existing competitors have years of experience, are well financed and have the name recognition to draw consumers, none of which we possess.

Management has determined that the future direction of Calibrus will focus on its Fanatic Fans and JabberMonkey offerings.  This puts Calibrus’ business focus in a very competitive field dominated by several very large and well financed companies such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter and a number of mobile social networking applications for smart phones, such as Fouresquare and Gowalla.  These companies have established an online presence and community that have become destinations in themselves and it will be difficult to make inroads into this space.  Calibrus will be dependent on a new twist to entry into this space but in the end, all social networking sites have similar features and it is likely that if any part of the Calibrus offering becomes compelling, the competitors will adjust their offerings to be directly competitive with Calibrus.  This creates substantial uncertainty on Calibrus’ ability to survive in this space or to be able to attract enough users to be able to monetize its site to produce revenues.

The revenue models for Fanatic Fans and JabberMonkey require we first obtain a sufficient number of users before we can sell advertisements or generate other revenue and it will take time to generate such users and to then monetize the site.

Fanatic Fans and JabberMonkey will be dependent on selling advertisements and finding other ways to monetize our users by selling add-on services.  For a social networking site or application to be able to sell advertisements, they first must attract a sufficient number of users to gain the interest of advertisers in buying ads on the sites.  It will take time and money to bring users to our site and application and there is no assurance any users will come.  These time frames along with the general state of development create additional uncertainty as to the potential success of Calibrus.  The site and application may not work as we plan and even if they do there can be no assurance any users will come, that advertisers will want to advertise or that Calibrus can monetize them.  Additionally, it will be costly to maintain the offerings and market them to attract users.

We currently do not have any patents associated with our Fanatic Fans or JabberMonkey site and if we are not able to develop intellectual property protection around the offerings, we may not be able to prevent competitors from recreating our product offering.

We have filed for a trademark on our JabberMonkey name and received approval during the year ended December 31, 2010.   We filed for a trademark for Fanatic Fans in July 2010.  We do not have any intellectual property protection on the features and software behind Fanatic Fans or JabberMonkey.  We have filed two patent applications with the US Patent and Trademark Office on various features of our JabberMonkey site.  However, we do not know at this time if such applications will result in patents being issued.  Even if we receive patent applications, there is no guarantee that one of our competitors will not be able to find a variation on our services that are not patent protected and be able to directly compete with our take on the social networking experience.

Calibrus’ projections do not show revenue from Fanatic Fans or JabberMonkey for some time and it will be dependent on additional capital to fund operations and continued improvements until such revenue can be generated.
 
 
Since a certain level of consumers must become users of Fanatic Fans and JabberMonkey before we can be monetized to produce revenue, management is of the belief that it will have to raise substantial more capital to reach profitability and drive users to the offerings.  With a lack of capital to execute on the marketing plans of the offerings it is unknown when and if the we will be able to attract the required number of users to successfully monetize them.  It is likely stockholders will suffer further dilution as we raise additional capital and, if management cannot raise additional capital, stockholders would likely lose most, if not all, of their investment.  There is no guarantee that we could raise such future capital or raise it on terms favorable to us.

Our existing management team has no experience in operating a social networking business or any other web based business.

Our current management does not have any experience in operating a social networking site and has never operated a web based business.  Our software developers experience has been in developing tools for businesses and focusing on call center software.  We will be expanding on our internal capabilities and be dependent on outside software engineers to drive our development.  If our management is not able to execute on our business plan, it is likely stockholders would lose their entire investment.

We currently have losses from operations and will need additional capital to execute our business plan.

We had losses from operations with a loss from continued operations of $2,699,613 and a net loss of $1,260,983 for the year ended December 31, 2012, and we have had to rely on new and existing capital to cover the losses.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, our current assets have decreased to $452,822.  As consolidation has come over the telecommunications business, our TPV business has been reduced.  We have been leveraging our technology capabilities to expand into new areas but it will take some time for the new areas to replace the loss in business from our TPV operations.  If we are not able to generate sufficient revenues, we will be forced to seek additional capital to fund potential shortfalls.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital or that we will be able to raise capital on terms that are favorable to Calibrus and current stockholders.

With our expansion into new business areas, our ability to raise additional capital may be key to our success and without additional capital, we may not be able to stay in business.

We have been losing money and need to expand into new business areas as our TPV business, which has been our primary operations, has declining revenue and only small operating profits.  Even if we leverage our current technology and infrastructure, without additional capital it will be difficult for us to enter into new business markets.  We think it may be difficult to raise capital and we do not think traditional forms of financing, such as bank loans, will be available for us. We anticipate it being difficult to raise any capital and believe the terms we could obtain may not be very favorable, possibly resulting in substantial dilution to current shareholders.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the required capital.

We may not be able to adapt quickly enough to changing customer requirements and industry standards.
 
We are in an industry dependent on technology and the ability to adapt this technology to changing market needs.   We may not be able to adapt quickly enough to changing customer requirements and preferences and industry standards. Competitors are continually introducing new products and services with new technologies. These changes and the emergence of new industry standards and practices could render our existing products obsolete and will require us to spend funds on research and development to stay competitive.

Efforts to expand will place a significant strain on our management, operational, financial and other resources.
 
Given sufficient capital, we plan to expand our operations by aggressively marketing JabberMonkey and Fanatic Fans, which will place a significant strain on our management, operations, technical performance and financial resources. There can be no assurance that we will be able to manage expansion effectively.  Our current and planned personnel, systems, procedures, and controls may not be adequate to support and effectively manage our future operations, especially as we employ personnel in multiple geographic locations. We may not be able to hire, train, retain, motivate, and manage required personnel, which may limit our growth. If any of this were to occur, it could damage our reputation, limit our growth, negatively affect our operating results and harm our business.  We do not currently have the required capital to market either of the offerings.

We have limited funds upon which to rely for adjusting to business variations and for growing new business.

We have been experiencing losses, with a net loss of $1,260,983 and $6,331,971 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These losses are the result of consolidation in the telecommunication business and our continuing research and development expenses related to new business lines as well as expenses related to the Company’s conversion of its debt to equity.  We are actively diversifying our product offerings to adjust to changes in our customers and the telecommunications’ industry.  We had negative working capital of $2,020,456 at December 31, 2012. Given our limited working capital, if we were to lose existing customers, it could further hurt our ability to continue in business.  It is likely we will have to seek additional capital in the future as we seek to expand our product offerings.  There can be no assurance we will be able to raise additional capital and even if we are successful in raising additional capital, that we will be able to raise capital on reasonable terms. If we do raise capital, our existing shareholders will incur substantial and immediate dilution.

We may issue more stock without shareholder input or consent which could dilute the book value for stockholders.

The board of directors has authority, without action by or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares. In addition, the board of directors has authority, without action by or vote of the shareholders, to fix and determine the rights, preferences, and privileges of the preferred stock, which may be given voting rights superior to that of the common stock. Any issuance of additional shares of common stock or preferred stock will dilute the ownership percentage of shareholders and may further dilute the book value of Calibrus’ shares. It is likely we will seek additional capital in the future to fund operations. Any future capital will most likely reduce current investors’ percentage of ownership.

We have not and do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Calibrus has not paid, and does not plan to pay, dividends in the foreseeable future, even if it were profitable. Earnings, if any, are expected to be used to expand operations, for research and development and for general corporate purposes, rather than to make distributions to stockholders.

Shares which may be available for resale could have a depressive affect on our stock price if we were to become listed on an exchange or market.

Calibrus has previously issued shares of Common Stock that constitute “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act. Subject to certain restrictions, such securities may generally be sold in limited amounts six months after their acquisition. Sales of these restricted securities under Rule 144 or otherwise by current stockholders of Calibrus could have a depressive effect on any trading market for Common Stock that may exist now or develop in the future.


 
14
 

It is likely, even if our common stock becomes listed on an exchange or market, that it would be subject to the “penny stock” rules limiting the ability of prospective investors to purchase our shares creating potential liquidity issues for our stockholders.

Calibrus’ Common Stock is covered by a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers which sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell Calibrus’ securities and also may affect the ability of persons now owning or subsequently acquiring Calibrus’ securities to resell such securities in any trading market that may develop.

We may issue additional shares of our common or preferred stock which potentially could have a dilutive effect on current stockholders.

Calibrus currently has authorized 45,000,000 shares of Common Stock of which 13,871,080 shares are issued and outstanding. The board of directors has authority, without action by or vote of Calibrus’ stockholders to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares. It is likely that Calibrus will seek additional equity capital in the future as it develops and markets additional products. Any issuance of additional shares of Common Stock will dilute the percentage ownership interest of stockholders and may further dilute the book value of Calibrus shares.

Management is reviewing the recently enacted legislation related to healthcare and its impact on Company results.

Calibrus management is currently reviewing the recently enacted healthcare package and its effect on future financial results of the Company.  At this time it has not been determined whether this will have a material effect on financial results.  It is possible that it may have a material effect on financial results.

For all of the foregoing reasons and others set forth herein, an investment in these securities involves a high degree of risk.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements in this Report constitute “forward-looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, among others, uncertainties relating to general economic and business conditions; industry trends; changes in demand for our products and services; uncertainties relating to customer plans and commitments and the timing of orders received from customers; announcements or changes in our pricing policies or that of our competitors; unanticipated delays in the development, market acceptance or installation of our products and services; our ability to repay our debt obligations; changes in government regulations; availability of management and other key personnel; our ability to raise additional capital and the availability and terms of such capital, if available; relationships with third-party equipment suppliers; and worldwide political stability and economic growth. The words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend" and "plan" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the audited Financial Statements and accompanying notes.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  Calibrus believes there have been no significant changes to accounting policies and estimates made during the year ended December 31, 2012 other than the presentation of assets-held-for sale and discontinued operations related to the Company’s planned divestiture of its Third Party Verification Business.  Calibrus believes that the following represents Calibrus’ most critical accounting policies.

 
18
 

We recognize revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 605-10-S99, Revenue Recognition (formerly “SAB 104”).  Under this guidance revenue is recognized at the point of passage to the customer of title and risk of loss, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the sales price is determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.   Our customers are charged either on a per call basis or per minute basis according to the terms of the contract and the service provided to that customer.  Live agent TPV customers are generally charged on a per call basis which is defined as a call that is answered by the Company’s agent.  Call recording services are charged on a per minute basis for the length of the call being recorded.

The Company from time to time executes outbound sales campaigns for customers, primarily for the sale of telecommunications services.  Although this revenue source has been immaterial, the Company recognizes the commissions earned on these campaigns on a net basis in accordance with FASB ASC 605-45 Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.  The Company is not currently operating any outbound calling campaigns.

Our allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained to provide for losses arising from customers’ inability to make required payments.  If there is deterioration of our customers’ credit worthiness and/or there is an increase in the length of time that the receivables are past due greater than the historical assumptions used, additional allowances may be required.

Stock-Based Compensation.  The Company has stock-based compensation plans. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the Black Scholes Pricing Model. The value of the compensation cost is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the award (the option vesting term).

Assumptions used in the Black Scholes Pricing Model to estimate compensation expense are determined as follows:

 
·
Expected term is generally determined using an average of the contractual term and vesting period of the award;

 
·
Expected volatility of award grants made under the Company’s plans is measured using the historical daily changes in the market price of similar industry indices, which are publicly traded, over the expected term of the award;

 
·
Risk-free interest rate is equivalent to the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining maturity equal to the expected term of the awards; and,

 
·
Forfeitures are based on the history of cancellations of awards granted by the Company and   management's analysis of potential forfeitures.

We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740 (formerly SFAS No. 109).  Under this guidance, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred tax assets will be reflected on the balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized.

The Company capitalizes certain software costs in accordance with FASB ASC 350 40 Internal-Use Software.  Capitalized costs will be amortized over the estimated economic life of the product.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

During the year ended December 31, 2012 the decision was made by management to divest of the Third Party Verification business and focus on the Social Networking operations.  The Company began the process of seeking a buyer and on  June 15, 2012, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) to sell substantially all of the assets related to the Company’s Third Party Verification (“TPV”) business to Calibrus Hosted Business Solutions, LLC ( “CHBS”).  The Company made this decision in order to focus on its social networking operations which currently includes Fanatic Fans, a mobile smartphone application centered around live sporting and entertainment events, and JabberMonkey, a social expression website centered around gathering public opinion on current events.   The Company continued to invest large amounts of capital into improvements of Fanatic Fans.  On September 7, 2012 the Company received notice that CHBS terminated the Asset Purchase Agreement and the sale transaction did not occur.  When the Asset Purchase Agreement between the Company and CHBS was terminated by CHBS the Company was forced to discontinue the funding of the further development of Fanatic Fans.  On September 12, 2012, the Company cancelled its development contract with MeoMyo, LLC.  The Company will need to raise significant additional capital in order to execute the business plans related to Fanatic Fans and JabberMonkey.  Operating results related to the Company’s TPV business have been classified as discontinued operations.  On September 7, 2012 the Company received notice that CHBS terminated the Asset Purchase Agreement and the sale transaction did not occur.
 
The Company is in the process of seeking an alternative buyer of the TPV Business.  As such the operating results of the Third Party Verification business have been presented as discontinued operations and the assets related to the Third Party Verification business have been listed as assets held-for-sale in the accompanying balance sheets.  If the Company is successful in this regard, it plans to use the proceeds from the sale of its TPV Business to continue the development of its Fanatic Fans social media initiative and pay off outstanding debt obligations.  It will need substantial additional funds to finance the development of Fanatic Fans and Jabber Monkey
 
While the Company seeks a new buyer for the TPV Business, the Company has ceased continued development on its Social Networking projects and is operating the TPV Business as usual.
 
The Company has no acquisition plans at this time.

Results of Continuing Operations

December 31, 2012

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had no revenues attributable to continuing operations.  Until such time that a buyer for the Company’s TPV Business can be found we do not anticipate that the Company will generate any revenues from its Social Networking operations.  As such, the Company incurred no cost of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2012 or 2011.

The Company’s general and administrative expenses decreased from the prior year with expenses of $922,886 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $1,739,759 for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The reduction was primarily made up of a decrease in amortization expense related to the Company’s JabberMonkey website as a result of the Company’s write-off of capitalized costs associated with the project.  This was offset by significantly higher legal and accounting expenses related to the Company’s failed sale transaction in 2012.

The Company incurred impairment expense of $108,458 during the year ended December 31, 2012.  On September 12, 2012 the Company terminated its time and materials contract with MeoMyo, LLC for the continued development of its Fanatic Fans mobile application.  The Company had prepaid several months of rent for the development office in Dubai.  Following the termination of the agreement and non-payment of several invoices to MeoMyo, LLC the development office was abandoned.  The Company wrote-off prepaid rent in the amount of $80,859 as a result of this as management estimates that these amounts would not be recoverable.  This amount is included in impairment expense as noted above.
 

 
20
 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2012 the Company expensed its $27,599 security deposit on its office space in Tempe, Arizona.  During the quarter, the Company was notified that because the office building in which it was located was placed into foreclosure the security deposit was not recoverable.  This amount is included in impairment expense as noted above.
 
Interest expense for the year was significantly reduced over the prior year primarily due to a decrease in interest related to the Company’s convertible debentures over the prior year and the inclusion of $2,735,189 in conversion expense related to the conversion of the debentures in 2011. However this decrease was offset slightly by the default interest incurred on the notes related to the failed sale of the TPV Business.

The Company had income from discontinued operations of $1,438,630 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to income from discontinued operations of $1,652,932.  This income reflects the results of operations for the Company’s Third Party Verification business.  The reduction was the result of lower call volumes for one of the Company’s largest customers.

Seasonality and Cyclicality
 
We do not believe our business is cyclical.

As of December 31, 2012 we had cash on hand of $24,692 and negative working capital of $2,020,456.  Historically, the Company had been able to fund operations through the generation of positive cash flow from its TPV business operations.  The Company has been, and continues, to use cash in its operations as it focuses on its social networking business, which to date has generated no revenues or cash flows.  Through October 31, 2011, the Company sold 315 units, at $5,000 per unit, consisting of $5,000  in Convertible Debentures (“the Debentures”) of Calibrus and 2,500 common stock purchase warrants (the “Units”) for total proceeds of $1,575,000, of which $15,000 in principal balance remains outstanding at December 31, 2012.  The Company also received an additional $140,000 in short term advances during the year ended December 31, 2012 from its CEO.  The Company has also received an additional $65,000 in the form of a bridge loan from its President.  In addition, the Company has received $400,000 in short-term financing from the proposed buyers of its TPV business which is discussed below.

On June 15, 2012, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with CHBS under which CHBS was to purchase substantially all of the assets of the Company’s TPV Business for $3,000,000 in cash, subject to adjustment. The closing date of the transaction was to be on or before August 31, 2012.  The initial purchase price consideration due upon closing was $2,000,000 less the $400,000 already advanced in the form of short-term notes payable pursuant to the Note Agreements.  This $400,000 was to reduce the initial payment due to the Company upon closing to $1,600,000.

On September 7, 2012 the Company received notice that CHBS terminated the Asset Purchase Agreement and the sale did not occur.  The Company is in the process of seeking an alternative buyer of the TPV Business.

On September 7, 2012, when CHBS terminated the asset purchase agreement, the $400,000 in short-term notes payable became immediately due.  As such, all amounts became due and payable.  The Company has retroactively accrued interest on the $400,000 in notes at 18% interest per annum through September 15, 2012.  The Company has also accrued interest at the 30% default interest rate per the notes from September 16, 2012 through December 31, 2012.  Accrued interest related to these notes at December 31, 2012 amounted to $56,063.
 
On October 26, 2012 the Company received notice of a complaint filed in the Superior Court of Maricopa County, Case No. CV2012-015263 by CHBS for breach of contract of the note agreement.  The complaint seeks repayment of the $150,000 principal balance, interest in the amount of $6,879 calculated at the rate of 18% from April 26, 2012 through September 15, 2012, and default interest calculated at the rate of 30% from September 16, 2012 through the date of payment and all costs and attorneys fees CHBS incurs as a result of failure to pay by the maturity date and event of default.  The Company believes that CHBS breached the asset purchase agreement by refusing to close the transaction.  Accordingly, the Company believes it has defenses and counterclaims against CHBS. The parties have agreed to suspend the litigation at this point.

On October 26, 2012 the Company received notice of a complaint filed in the Superior Court of Maricopa County, Case No. CV2012-015308 by an individual for breach of contract of the note agreement.  The complaint seeks repayment of the $250,000 principal balance, interest in the amount of $11,343 calculated at the rate of 18% from April 26, 2012 through September 15, 2012, and default interest calculated at the rate of 30% from September 16, 2012 through the date of payment and all costs and attorneys fees the individual incurs as a result of failure to pay by the maturity date and event of default.  The Company believes that Calibrus Hosted Business Solutions breached the asset purchase agreement by refusing to close the transaction.  Accordingly, the Company believes it has defenses and counterclaims against such party based on the breach of CHBS. The parties have agreed to suspend the litigation at this point.
 
With the exception of the $400,000 in short-term loans discussed above, the Company has received verbal extensions on all of its outstanding debt through June 30, 2013.
 
As of December 31, 2012, the Company owed a total of $1,024,900 in principal balance notes and advances along with an additional $127,077 in accrued interest.
 
On September 12, 2012 the Company terminated its time and materials contract with MeoMyo, LLC as a result of the termination of the asset purchase agreement and the Company’s inability to fund the ongoing development of its social networking operations.  The Company intends to restart development upon the sale of its TPV Business.  However, it is unknown when this will occur, if ever.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company owed a total of $454,959 to MeoMyo, LLC.
 
The Company is operating the TPV Business at a small cash-flow positive state and will have to begin paying down its obligations out of this cash-flow until a sale can be completed.  Until such time a buyer is found for the TPV Business, the Company has suspended further development expenditures related to its social media initiatives.  However, there will be some ongoing maintenance expenses related to support of the social media projects.
 
The Company intends to satisfy its outstanding debt obligations out of the proceeds from the eventual sale of its TPV Business.  However, the Company can provide no assurance that this sale will occur or, if it does occur, that the net proceeds will be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s outstanding debt obligations.  Further, upon sale of the TPV Business the Company will be divesting itself of its only revenue generating source.  We can offer no assuarance when or if our social networking offerings will be successful.  As such the Company will have no incoming cash-flow to fund its ongoing operations.  The Company will have to rely on its ability to raise additional capital, either through an additional debt or equity offerings or alliances with third parties; however there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such capital or create such alliances or do so on favorable terms.   If the Company is unable to raise additional capital it may be forced to cease operations.
 
We estimate we will need an additional $1,000,000 in capital, after satisfying our debt obligations, to cover our ongoing expenses and to successfully market our new product offerings.  This is only an estimate and may change as we receive feedback from customers and have a better feel of the demand and revenues from our new products.  Both of these factors may change and we may not be able to raise the necessary capital and if we are able to, that it may not be at favorable rates.

Given the current state of Calibrus and our revenues, we do not believe bank financing will be feasible and if we need additional capital it will be in the form of an equity or debt offering.  To this end, management has made the decision to position Calibrus to be more attractive to investors, particularly angel investors.
 
The Company has incurred significant cumulative net losses from operations in recent years. As reported in the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $11,306,459. At December 31, 2012, the Company had total assets of $478,136 and liabilities totaling $2,473,278, and a working capital deficit of $2,020,456.  These factors raise considerable doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 

 
22
 

 
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise adequate capital to fund operating losses until it is able to engage in profitable business operations. To the extent financing is not available, the Company may not be able to, or may be delayed in, developing its services and meeting its obligations. The Company will continue to evaluate its projected expenditures relative to its available cash and to evaluate additional means of financing in order to satisfy its working capital and other cash requirements. To this end, the Company has discontinued the furthered development and expenditures related its social networking operations and is currently operating its TPV Business at a small cash flow positive state however not at sufficient amounts to timely satisfy its current debt obligations.  Management intends to work with its existing debt holders to negotiate payment terms.  The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2012 that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level over disclosure controls.

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 Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 
23
 

 
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and
 
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 and determined that our controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

We have assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as discussed above.  In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.  Based on these criteria and our assessment, we have determined that, as of December 31, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.

Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors

Stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors by writing to us as follows:  Calibrus, Inc., attention:  Corporate Secretary, 1225 West Washington Street, Suite 213, Tempe, AZ 85281.  Stockholders who would like their submission directed to a particular member of the Board of Directors may so specify and the communication will be forwarded as appropriate.

Process and Policy for Director Nominations

Our full Board will consider candidates for Board membership suggested by Board members, management and our stockholders.  In evaluating the suitability of potential nominees for membership on the Board, the Board members will consider the Board's current composition, including expertise, diversity, and balance of inside, outside and independent directors.  The Board considers the general qualifications of the potential nominees, including integrity and honesty; recognized leadership in business or professional activity; a background and experience that will complement the talents of the other board members; the willingness and capability to actively participate in board and committee meetings; the extent to which the candidate possesses pertinent technological, business or financial expertise and experience; the absence of realistic possibilities of conflict of interest or legal prohibition; the ability to work well with the other directors; and the extent of the candidate's familiarity with issues affecting our business.
 
While the Board considers diversity and variety of experiences and viewpoints to be important factors, it does not believe that a director nominee should be chosen solely or mainly because of race, color, gender, national origin or sexual identity or orientation. Thus, although diversity may be a consideration in the Board's process, it does not have a formal policy regarding the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees.

 
28
 

Stockholder Recommendations for Director Nominations.

Our Board of Directors does not have a formal policy with respect to consideration of any director candidate recommendation by stockholders.  While the Board of Directors may consider candidates recommended by stockholders, it has no requirement to do so.  To date, no stockholder has recommended a candidate for nomination to the Board.  Given that we have not received director nominations from stockholders in the past and that we do not canvass stockholders for such nominations, we believe it is appropriate not to have a formal policy in that regard.  We do not pay a fee to any third party to identify or evaluate or assist in indentifying or evaluating potential nominees.

Stockholder recommendations for director nominations may be submitted to the Company at the following address:  Calibrus, Inc., attention:  Corporate Secretary, 1225 West Washington, Suite 213, Tempe, AZ 85281.  Such recommendations will be forwarded to the Board for consideration, provided that they are accompanied by sufficient information to permit the Board to evaluate the qualifications and experience of the nominees, and provided that they are in time for the Board to do an adequate evaluation of the candidate before the annual meeting of stockholders.  The submission must be accomplished by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board of Directors and to serve if elected and to cooperate with a background check.

Stockholder Nominations of Directors.
 
The Company provides that in order for a stockholder to nominate a director at an annual meeting, the stockholder must give timely, written notice to the Secretary of the Company and such notice must be received at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than 120 days before the date of its release of the proxy statement to stockholders in connection with its previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders. Such stockholder’s notice shall include, with respect to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director, all information relating to such person, including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee, serving as a director, that is required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and cooperating with a background investigation.  In addition, the stockholder must include in such notice his name and address, as they appear on the Company’s records, of the stockholder proposing the nomination of such person, and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Company that are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder of record and by the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, and any material interest or relationship that such stockholder of record and/or the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made may respectively have in such business or with such nominee. At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated for election as a director shall furnish to the Secretary of the Company the information required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee.
 
To be timely in the case of a special meeting or if the date of the annual meeting is changed by more than thirty (30) days from such anniversary date, a stockholder’s notice must be received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation no later than the close of business on the tenth day following the earlier of the day on which notice of the meeting date was mailed or public disclosure of the meeting date was made.
 
Board of Directors’ Role in the Oversight of Risk Management
 
We face a variety of risks, including credit, liquidity and operational risks.  In fulfilling its risk oversight role, our Board of Directors focuses on the adequacy of our risk management process and overall risk management system.  Our Board of Directors believes that an effective risk management system will (i) adequately identify the material risks that we face in a timely manner; (ii) implement appropriate risk management strategies that are responsive to our risk profile and specific material risk exposures; (iii) integrate consideration of risk and risk management into our business decision-making; and (iv) include policies and procedures that adequately transmit necessary information regarding material risks to senior executives and, as appropriate, to the Board or relevant committee.

 
29
 

Our Board of Directors oversees risk management for us.  Accordingly, the Board schedules time for periodic review of risk management, in addition to its other duties.  In this role, the Board receives reports from management, certified public accountants, outside legal counsel, and to the extent necessary, from other advisors, and strives to generate serious and thoughtful attention to our risk management process and system, the nature of the material risks we face, and the adequacy of our policies and procedures designed to respond to and mitigate these risks.
 
Board Leadership Structure
 
Our Board of Directors does not have a policy on whether or not the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors should be separate and, if they are to be separate, whether the Chairman of the Board should be selected from the non-employee directors or be an employee.  Our Board of Directors believes that it should be free to make a choice from time to time in any manner that is in the best interests of us and our shareholders. The Board of Directors believes that Mr. Holmes's service as CEO and Chairman of the Board is in the best interest of us and our shareholders. He possesses detailed knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges we face and is thus best positioned to develop agendas that ensure the Board's time and attention will be focused on the most critical matters. Our Board has determined that our Board leadership structure is appropriate given the size of our Board and the nature of our business.
 
Code of Ethics and Conduct
 
Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Ethics and Conduct that is applicable to all of our employees, officers and directors. Our Code of Ethics and Conduct is intended to ensure that our employees act in accordance with the highest ethical standards.  A copy of our Code of Ethics and Conduct may be obtained by sending a written request to us at 1225 West  Washington Street, Suite 213, Tempe, AZ 85281, Attn: Corporate Secretary and the Code of Ethics and Conduct is filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(1) This column represents the aggregate grant date fair value of the awards granted in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Therefore, the values shown here are not representative of the amounts that may eventually be realized by a director. Pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we have provided a grant date fair value for option awards in accordance with the provisions of  FASB ASC 718 Share-based Payments.  For option awards, the fair value is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the use of certain assumptions, including the risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, volatility, expected term and forfeitures. Expected term is determined using an average of the contractual term and vesting period of the award.  Expected volatility of award grants made under the Company’s plans is measured using the historical daily changes in the market price of similar industry indices, which are publicly traded, over the expected term of the award.  Risk-free interest rate is equivalent to the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining maturity equal to the expected term of the awards and forfeitures are based on the history of cancellations of awards granted by the Company and management's analysis of potential forfeitures. For further information on these calculations, please refer to the notes to our financial statements, Notes 1 and 11 included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Report on Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines the compensation of Calibrus’ executive officer and president and sets policies for and reviews with the chief executive officer and president the compensation awarded to the other principal executives, if any.   The board of directors has two committees, the audit and compensation committee which are made up of non-employee directors.  Our Compensation Committee is composed of Kirk Blosch and Charles House.  Our Audit Committee is composed of Kirk Blosch, Charles House and Christian J. Hoffmann, III.

The compensation policies utilized by the Board of Directors are intended to enable Calibrus to attract, retain and motivate executive officers to meet our goals using appropriate combinations of base salary and incentive compensation in the form of stock options. Generally, compensation decisions are based on contractual commitments, if any, as well as corporate performance, the level of individual responsibility of the particular executive and individual performance. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, Calibrus’ chief executive officer was Jeff W. Holmes, our President was Greg W. Holmes and Kevin J. Asher was CFO.
 
Base salaries for Calibrus’ executive officers are determined initially by evaluating the responsibilities of the position held and the experience of the individual, and by reference to the competitive marketplace for management talent, including a comparison of base salaries for comparable positions at comparable companies within Calibrus’ industry.

Annual salary adjustments are determined by evaluating the competitive marketplace, the performance of Calibrus, the performance of the executive, particularly with respect to the ability to manage the growth of Calibrus, the length of the executive's service to Calibrus and any increased responsibilities assumed by the executive.

Dividends

We have not declared any cash dividends with respect to our common stock, and do not intend to declare dividends in the foreseeable future.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 

 
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Calibrus, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Calibrus, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit 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 financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Calibrus, Inc. at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders' deficit and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Nature of Operations and Use of Estimates
 
 
Operations

Calibrus, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on October 22, 1999, in the State of Nevada.  The Company’s principal business purpose has been to operate a customer contact center for a variety of clients, who are located throughout the United States. The Company provides customer contact support services for various companies wishing to outsource these functions.   On June 15, 2012, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to sell substantially all of the assets related to the Company’s Third Party Verification business to Calibrus Hosted Business Solutions, LLC (Note 8).  The Company made this decision to focus on its Social Networking operations which currently include Fanatic Fans, a mobile smartphone application centered around live sporting and entertainment events, and JabberMonkey, a social expression website centered around gathering public opinion on current events.   On September 7, 2012, Calibrus Hosted Business Solutions terminated the asset purchase agreement.  The Company is currently seeking a new buyer for its TPV Business.  The Company has presented assets related to its TPV Business as held-for-sale and has presented the TPV Business statements of operations as discontinued operations.
 
Fanatic Fans

Fanatic Fans informs fans about upcoming live events in the Sports and Music industries by giving users the ability to interact with live events, share their experiences, and earn rewards for attending live events.   Users can browse a calendar of upcoming events which can be segmented by region and artist.  Users can get detailed information on the event and discuss the event with other fans.  While at an event users can share their experiences with social networks Facebook and Twitter, and communicate with other people at the event.  Users can unlock virtual awards and earn virtual points in recognition of attending events.  Within their profile users can browse and view the items they have unlocked and receive news on their favorite artists.  Finally, users can redeem their virtual points for food/drinks, apparel and purchase event tickets in the application award section. 

Fanatic Fans rewards fans for their support of their favorite sports team, music artist or band.  National and local businesses market to fans that attend the events by listing promotions (goods and services) on our application (“app”).  Businesses list their promotions and users can view and redeem these promotions and offers that are specific to their interests.   Fanatic Fans offers contests and provides recognition to the most Fanatic Fans.

JabberMonkey.com

JabberMonkey is a social expression site that features questions on issues and topics that are current and relevant to its members. JabberMonkey questions will be on pertinent issues that in many instances may evoke an emotional response from its members.  Many of the questions on JabberMonkey will provide the individuals voting with a voice to cause an action or effect a result.

In addition to being able to conduct polls and questions, JabberMonkey offers a unique user experience by being able to offer interactive communication and high definition video.  While most social networking sites offer only a static page for the user.  JabberMonkey offers video communications between multiple users at once, the ability to quickly load video, and the ability to set up groups or companies into secure sites.  JabberMonkey also takes advantage of other companies’ storage by allowing links to other web sites such as YouTube or Google.

Categories include Entertainment, Music, Business, etc.   Each category will also contain subcategories to encompass a wide range of topics and interests.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances in the accompanying financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. The reclassifications have had no effect on the net income or the totals of assets and liabilities previously reported.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 Note 1
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Nature of Operations and Use of Estimates (Continued)

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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts, income taxes, recoverability of software development, the estimated fair value of stock based compensation, warrants, and depreciable lives of long lived assets, and allocation of assets and liabilities held for sale.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For financial accounting purposes, cash and cash equivalents are considered to be all highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three (3) months or less at the time of purchase.

Accounts Receivable

The Company provides for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable by use of the allowance method.  The allowance is  provided based upon a review of the individual accounts outstanding, and the Company's prior history of uncollectible accounts receivable.  The Compnay charges off uncollectible accounts receivable when all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, a provision for uncollectible trade accounts receivable has been established in the amount of $50,000.  The Company does not accrue interest charges or fees on delinquent accounts receivable. The accounts are generally unsecured.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The average lives range from three (3) to five (5) years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred.  Betterments or renewals are capitalized when incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, depreciation expense was $19,104 and $29,211, respectively.

Software Development

The Company capitalizes certain software costs in accordance with FASB ASC 350-40 Internal-Use Software.  The JabberMonkey website was under development through November 2010 and reached availability for general commercial use in December, 2010.  Capitalized costs will be amortized over the estimated economic life of the product which is estimated to be 3 years. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $0 and $917,164, respectively.

On December 31, 2011 the Company reviewed the carrying value of its capitalized software development and decided to record an impairment against the remaining value.  This determination was predicated by the fact that the Company currently lacks sufficient funds to actively market the product.  Given the lead time necessary to market the product, develop a client base and generate a revenue stream, it could not generate sufficient cash flows to offset the remaining two years of its estimated life.  Therefore, management determined that an impairment
was justified at this time.  The Company recorded impairment expense of $1,757,898 related to this impairment.

Advertising

We expense advertising and marketing costs as incurred.  Advertising costs include trade show fees, online advertising, etc.  Advertising expenses were approximately $5,090 and $68,100 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue for inbound calls is recorded on a per-call or per-minute basis in accordance with the rates established in the respective contracts. Revenue for outbound calls is on a commission basis, with revenue being recognized as the commission is earned.  As the Company’s customers are primarily well established, creditworthy institutions, Management believes collectability is reasonably assured at the time of performance. The Company, from time to time, executes outbound sales campaigns for customers, primarily for the sale of telecommunications services.  Although this revenue source has been historically immaterial, the Company recognizes the commissions earned on these campaigns on a net basis in accordance with FASB ASC 605-45 Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates assets with definite lives for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that these assets might be impaired.  Assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired.  The Company has the option to perform a qualitative analysis before comparing their respective carrying values to estimates of the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the assets, in determining whether assets are impaired.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted net cash flows expected from that asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.
 
On September 12, 2012 the Company terminated its time and materials contract with MeoMyo, LLC for the continued development of its Fanatic Fans mobile application.  The Company had prepaid several months of rent amounts for the development office in Dubai.  Following the termination of the agreement and non-payment of several invoices to MeoMyo, LLC the development office was abandoned.  The Company wrote-off prepaid rent in the amount of $80,859 as a result, management estimates that these amounts would not be recoverable.  This amount is included in the asset impairment expense on the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2012 the Company expensed its $27,599 security deposit on its office space in Tempe, Arizona.  During the quarter, the Company was notified that because the office building in which it was located was placed into foreclosure the security deposit was not recoverable.  This amount is included in the asset impairment expense on the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
On December 31, 2011 the Company reviewed the carrying value of its capitalized software development and decided to record an impairment against the remaining value.  This determination was predicated by the fact that the Company currently lacks sufficient funds to actively market the product.  Given the lead time necessary to market the product, develop a client base and generate a revenue stream, it could not generate sufficient cash flows to offset the remaining two years of its estimated life.  Therefore, management determined that an impairment was
justified at that time.  The Company recorded impairment expense of $1,757,898 related to this impairment during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Arizona.  The Company is subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for approximately the past three years, or in some instances longer periods.    

Deferred income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Net deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates at the date of enactment.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Nature of Operations and Use of Estimates (Continued)

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained.  The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any.  Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.  Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority.  The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured, if any, is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.  Interests and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, if any, are classified as additional income taxes in the statement of operations.  During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 there were no interest or penalties incurred related to income taxes.  The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2009, except that earlier years can be examined for the sole purpose of challenging the net operating loss carry-forwards arising in those years.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, notes payable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value given their short term nature or effective interest rates which represent Level 3 inputs.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses include third-party development and programming costs, localization costs incurred to translate software for international markets, the amortization of purchased software code and services content, and in-process research and development. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, Research and Development Expense totaled $1,382,100 and $1,472,113, respectively.  All Research and Development Expense was related to the ongoing development of the Company’s social expression website, JabberMonkey, and its location-based, social networking smart phone application, Fanatic Fans.  The Company had entered into a time and materials agreement with MeoMyo, LLC to develop the JabberMonkey website and Fanatic Fans application.  Contract work was performed as authorized and the contract was cancellable on 30-days written notice.  On September 12, 2012 the Company terminated its time and materials contract with MeoMyo, LLC for the continued development of its Fanatic Fans mobile application.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity, using the treasury stock method for stock options and warrants and the if-converted method for convertible debt.

The following table shows the amounts used in computing diluted earnings per share and the effect on income and the weighted average number of shares of potentially dilutive common stock.

All dilutive common stock equivalents are reflected in our loss per share calculations. Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents are not included in our loss per share calculations.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding options to purchase 2,598,334 shares of common stock at a per share weighted average exercise price of $.86 and outstanding warrants to purchase 959,088 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $.39.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding options to purchase 2,744,167 shares of common stock at a per share weighted average exercise price of $.89 and outstanding warrants to purchase 1,026,588 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $.39  per share.  Neither amounts were included in the loss per share calculation as they were anti-dilutive.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $15,000 of principal value of convertible debentures which are convertible into 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which were also antidilutive.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $25,000 of principal value of convertible debentures which are convertible into 16,666 shares of the Company’s common stock, which were also antidilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company has stock-based compensation plans. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the Black Scholes Pricing Model. The value of the compensation cost is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the award (the option vesting term).

Assumptions used in the Black Scholes Pricing Model to estimate compensation expense are determined as follows:

 
·
Expected term is generally determined using an average of the contractual term and vesting period of the award;

 
·
Expected volatility of award grants made under the Company’s plans is measured using the historical daily changes in the market price of similar industry indices, which are publicly traded, over the expected term of the award;

 
·
Risk-free interest rate is equivalent to the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining maturity equal to the expected term of the awards; and,

 
·
Forfeitures are based on the history of cancellations of awards granted by the Company and management's analysis of potential forfeitures.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements
 
There have been no accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting principles during the year ended December 31, 2012 that are of significance, or potential significance, to us.
 
Going Concern Considerations
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant cumulative net losses from operations in recent years. As reported in the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $11,306,459. At December 31, 2012, the Company had total assets of $478,136 and liabilities totaling $2,473,278, and a working capital deficit of $2,020,456.  These factors raise considerable doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise adequate capital to fund operating losses until it is able to engage in profitable business operations. To the extent financing is not available, the Company may not be able to, or may be delayed in, developing its services and meeting its obligations. The Company will continue to evaluate its projected expenditures relative to its available cash and to evaluate additional means of financing in order to satisfy its working capital and other cash requirements. To this end, the Company has discontinued the furthered development of its social networking operations and is currently operating its TPV Business at a small cash positive state however not at sufficient amounts to satisfy its current debt obligations.  The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
 
Note 2
Concentrations of Risk
 
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company rendered a substantial portion of its services to its three largest customers representing 42%, 22% and 14% of total revenues.  As of December 31, 2011, the amounts due from these customers were $210,808, $110,416 and $68,716, respectively.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company rendered a substantial portion of its services to its three largest customers representing 50%, 17% and 15% of total revenues.  As of December 31, 2011, the amounts due from these customers were $199,535, $78,813 and $202,967, respectively.
 
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at various financial institutions. Deposits not to exceed $250,000 at each financial institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no uninsured cash and cash equivalents.

The Company reached technical feasibility of its social networking website JabberMonkey.com on June 1, 2009 with the release of its alpha site.  Costs associated with the development beginning June 1, 2009 through the official launch of the website, December 1, 2010, were capitalized.  Capitalized software costs related to the JabberMonkey project were to be amortized using the straight-line method over three years and commenced on December 1, 2010.  Amortization expense related to the JabberMonkey website totaled $0 and $917,164 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

On December 31, 2011 the Company reviewed the carrying value of its capitalized software development costs and decided to record an impairment against the remaining value.  This determination was predicated by the fact that the Company currently lacks sufficient funds to actively market the product.  Given the lead time necessary to market the product, develop a client base and generate a revenue stream, it could not generate sufficient cash flows to offset the remaining two years of its estimated life.  Therefore, management determined that an impairment was justified at this time.  The Company recorded impairment expense of $1,757,898 related to this impairment.

 Convertible Notes Payable

From October 2009 through October 31, 2011, the Company sold 315 units, at $5,000 per unit, consisting of five thousand dollars ($5,000)  in Convertible Debentures  (the “Debentures”) of Calibrus and twenty five hundred (2,500) common stock purchase warrants (the “Units”) for total proceeds of $1,575,000.  Each Debenture was convertible into shares of common stock of Calibrus at the lower of $1.50 per share or the price of any additional private placement of Calibrus in the next twelve months and bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum.  Each common stock purchase warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of Calibrus’ common stock for each warrant held at the warrant exercise price of the lower of (i) one dollar and ninety-five cents ($1.95) per share, or (ii) one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the per share price paid by any investor in a private placement by Calibrus of shares of our common stock at any time in the next twelve months (the “Warrants”).  The Warrants were only exercisable if the Debentures, which are part of the underlying Unit, are converted into shares of Calibrus’ common stock.

On August 29, 2011 the Company’s Board of Directors elected to reprice the conversion price for the Company’s convertible debt from $1.50 per share to $0.25 per share and such conversion price was only valid through October 31, 2011.  The repricing was effective as of October 31, 2011 for holders electing to accept the reduced conversion price. This repricing is considered an induced conversion of debt.  Therefore, the value of the additional shares received upon conversion in excess of the original conversion formula are treated as an inducement expense at the time of conversion.  The Company converted a total of $1,540,000 in principal amounts of the convertible debentures in addition to $204,120 in accrued interest related to the debentures.  This resulted in the issuance of 6,976,480 shares of the Company’s common stock.   At December 31, 2011 the Company had $25,000 in principal amount debentures outstanding.  The Company recognized induced conversion expense, included in interest expense, at the time of the conversion of $2,616,177.  In addition the Company valued a total of 770,000 warrants which became exercisable at the time of conversion and recorded $104,821 of conversion expense related to this.  The Company also issued 102,088 warrants for accrued interest converted resulting in additional conversion expense of $14,191.  Total conversion expense related to the warrants and convertible debt conversion was $2,735,189 and was included in interest expense.

In January 2012, the Company paid off the $10,000 debenture along with accrued interest.  As of December 31, 2012 the Company has $15,000 in principal balance convertible debentures remaining at a conversion price of $1.50 per share which can be converted into 10,000 shares of common stock.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 convertible notes payable were comprised of the following:

   
2012
    
2011

The remaining $15,000 in principal is due to the Mother of the Company’s CEO and President.  The Company has received a verbal extension on this debt through June 30, 2013.

Interest expense related to the debentures for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1,805 and $114,284, respectively.  Accrued interest related to the debentures at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $4,969 and $5,564, respectively.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, uncertainties exist that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has net federal operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7.95  million and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $6.33 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The Company has established a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2012 in the approximate amount of $3,144,000. The valuation allowance is equal to the full amount of the net deferred tax asset due primarily to the uncertainty of the utilization of operating losses in future periods.

The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal and state statutory income tax rates to pretax income from operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 due to the following:

Employment Agreements

Calibrus has agreements with all officers and those employees identified herein as key employees.   All of our agreements contain language assigning all inventions over to Calibrus, and also contain non-compete agreements.  Additionally, on termination, if not for cause and Calibrus is cash flow and earnings positive, our officers and key employees will receive up to three months salary as severance. On a change of control of Calibrus, which results in termination of the officer or key employee and Calibrus is cash flow positive and has positive earnings per share at the time of the change of control, the officer or key employee will receive three months salary as severance based on the officers or employees’ current salary.  Employment contracts are entered into for two, three or four year periods with automatic two, three or four one year extensions depending on the officer or key employee. Except for terms and salary, all of our employment contracts contain the same material terms.  A summary of the officers’ employment contracts are below:

Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, each of the employees listed above took salary decreases due to limited cash flow in the Company.  Each of the employees has agreed to waive the unpaid amounts per their respective employment agreements.  In September of 2012, the Company reinstated a portion of the salary decreases of the above individuals.

Indemnification Agreements

The Company has agreed to indemnify its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences arising as a result of the officer or director serving in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer’s or director’s lifetime. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. As a result of no current or expected litigation, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal and has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.
