AUDIOEYE, INC.
MARCH 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of AudioEye, Inc., (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K have been omitted.
Corporate Organization
The Company was formed as a Delaware corporation on May 20, 2005. On March 31, 2010, CMG Holdings Group, Inc., (“CMGO”) acquired the Company. In connection with the acquisition, the former stockholders of the Company retained rights to receive cash from the exploitation of the Company’s technology, (the “Rights”) consisting of 50% of any cash received from income earned, settlements or judgments directly resulting from the Company’s patent strategy and a share of its net income for 2010, 2011 and 2012 from the exploitation of the Company’s technology.  The Rights were then contributed to a newly formed Nevada corporation, AudioEye Acquisition Corporation, (“AEAC”), in exchange for shares of AEAC.  During the period as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMGO, the Company continued to expand its patent portfolio to protect its proprietary Internet content publication and distribution technology.
On June 22, 2011, CMGO entered into a Master Agreement with AEAC pursuant to which: (i) the stockholders of AEAC would acquire from the CMGO 80% of the Company’s capital stock, (the “Separation”) and (ii) CMGO would distribute to its stockholders, in the form of a dividend, 5% of the Company’s capital stock, (the “Spin-off”).  Pursuant to the Master Agreement, AEAC was required to arrange for the release of senior secured notes, (the “Senior Notes”) issued by CMGO in an aggregate principal amount of $1,025,000, which CMGO had been unable to service.  On August 15, 2012, the Company, CMGO and AEAC completed the Separation.  In connection with the Separation, AEAC arranged for the release of CMGO under the Senior Notes by payment to the holders thereof of $700,000, the delivery of a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $425,000 and the issuance of 1,500,000 shares of the common stock of AEAC.  On January 29, 2013, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 with respect to 1,500,259 shares of its common stock to be issued in the Spin-off. On February 6, 2013, the secured promissory note was repaid in full. On February 22, 2013, CMGO completed the Spin-off.
In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into a Royalty Agreement with CMGO. Pursuant to the Royalty Agreement, for a period of five years, the Company will pay to CMGO 10% of cash received from income earned or settlements on judgments directly resulting from the Company’s patent enforcement and licensing strategy, whether received by the Company on any of its affiliates, net in either case of any direct costs or tax implications incurred in pursuit of such strategy as they relate to the patents described in the Master Agreement.  Additionally, the Company entered into a Services Agreement with CMGO whereby, without duplication to the amounts payable under the Royalty Agreement, for a period of 5 years, CMGO will receive a commission of 7.5% of all revenues received by the Company after the Separation from all business, clients or
5
other sources of revenue procured by CMGO or its employees, officers or subsidiaries and directed to the Company and 10% of net revenues obtained from a specified customer.
On March 22, 2013, the Company and AEAC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which AEAC would be merged with and into the Company, (the “Merger”) with the Company being the surviving entity.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of AEAC common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger effective date would be converted into .94134 share of the Company’s common stock and the outstanding convertible debentures of AEAC, (the “AEAC Debentures”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,400,200, together with accrued interest thereon, would be assumed by the Company and then exchanged for the Company’s convertible debentures, (the “AE Debentures”).
Effective March 25, 2013, the Merger was completed.  In connection with the Merger, the stockholders of AEAC received on a pro rata basis the 24,004,143 shares of the Company’s common stock that were held by AEAC, and the former holders of the AEAC Debentures received an aggregate of 5,871,752 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to their conversion of all of the AE Debentures issued to replace the AEAC Debentures.  The principal asset of AEAC was the Rights that had been contributed to AEAC by the Company’s former stockholders.  As a result of the Merger, the Rights have been extinguished.
NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses of $396,086 and $225,612 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $906,708 and $510,622 and a working capital deficit of  and $381,100 and $2,775,215 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In response to these conditions, the Company is attempting to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, an offering of debt securities or borrowings from financial institutions or other third parties or a combination of the foreging.  No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to raise sufficient financing to implement its business plan.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

On August 15, 2012, the Company issued a Secured Promissory Note to CMGO Investors LLC, the agent for the former holders of CMGO’s senior debt, in the amount of $425,000, related to the separation of the Company from its parent, which took place on August 17, 2012.  The note bore interest at 8% per annum.  Pursuant to an extension granted by the noteholder, the note was due on February 6, 2013.  The noteholder had the option to convert the principal and interest into 10% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding common shares as of the date of the notice to convert, but in no event more than 6,000,000 shares. On February 6, 2013, the Secured Promissory Note was repaid in full. Payment consisted of cash payments of $200,000, of which $16,339 was interest and $183,661 was principal.

In accordance with ASC 805, the Company has accounted for the combination using the Acquisition Method for the purpose of allocating the purchase price and determining goodwill. The fair value of the Company’s current tangible assets, property and equipment and liabilities approximated book value on the date of the acquisition. Therefore no adjustment has been made to the book value of the Company’s existing tangible assets and liabilities. The Company has determined that the value of goodwill is $700,528, based upon the Company’s enterprise allocation , less the Company’s net assets at the time of purchase, less any identifiable intangible assets, and is comprised of the expected synergies and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to value net assets as of the Separation date of August 17, 2012, the purchase price allocation could change during the measurement period (not to exceed one year) if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the Separation date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of additional, or change in existing, assets and liabilities as of that date.
The Company has identified its patents as qualifying for separate recognition, in accordance with ASC 820.  In determining the fair market value associated with the patents, the Company used the Income Method. Inasmuch as the Company has previously determined that there existed an impairment of the patent based upon an analysis utilizing the Company’s historical cash flows, it was necessary for the Company to consider any identifiable future cash flows that were reliably estimable at the date of Separation. The Company has determined that the only identifiable revenue stream for future cash flows directly related to the patents at the date of the Separation are those related to the licensing of its technology to the US Government, more fully described below.  All other potential revenue is highly speculative, and/or not directly related to the patents at the date of the Separation. Based on the analysis performed, the Company determined the fair value of the patents on the date of separation to be $3,551,814.
NOTE 8: MERGER OF AUDIOEYE, INC. AND AUDIOEYE ACQUISITION CORPORATION
On March 22, 2013, the Company and AEAC entered into the Merger Agreement.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of AEAC common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger effective date would be converted into .94134 share of the Company’s common stock and the outstanding convertible debentures of AEAC, (the “AEAC Debentures”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,400,200, together with accrued interest thereon of $67,732, would be assumed by the Company and then exchanged for convertible debentures of the Company, (the “AE Debentures”).

As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and similar references refer to AudioEye, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary, unless otherwise indicated.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated unaudited financial statements and the related notes for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 that appear in this quarterly  report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this quarterly  report.
Background
Our company was formed as a Delaware corporation on May 20, 2005. On March 31, 2010, CMG Holdings Group, Inc., (“CMGO”) acquired our company .  In connection with the acquisition, the former stockholders of our company retained rights to receive cash from the exploitation of our technology, (the “Rights”) consisting of 50% of any cash received from income earned, settlements or judgments directly resulting from our patent strategy and a share of our net income for 2010, 2011 and 2012 from the exploitation of the Company’s technology.  The Rights were then contributed to a newly formed Nevada corporation, AudioEye Acquisition Corporation, (“AEAC”), in exchange for shares of AEAC.  During the period as a wholly-owned subsidiary of
10
CMGO, we continued to expand our patent portfolio to protect our proprietary Internet content publication and distribution technology.
On June 22, 2011, CMGO entered into a Master Agreement with AEAC pursuant to which: (i) the stockholders of AEAC would acquire from the CMGO 80% of our capital stock, (the “Separation”) and (ii) CMGO would distribute to its stockholders, in the form of a dividend, 5% of our capital stock, (the “Spin-off”).  Pursuant to the Master Agreement, AEAC was required to arrange for the release of senior secured notes, (the “Senior Notes”) issued by CMGO in an aggregate principal amount of $1,025,000, which CMGO had been unable to service.  On August 15, 2012, we, CMGO and AEAC completed the Separation.  In connection with the Separation, AEAC arranged for the release of CMGO under the Senior Notes by payment to the holders thereof of $700,000, the delivery of a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $425,000 and the issuance of 1,500,000 shares of the common stock of AEAC.  On January 29, 2013, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective our registration statement on Form S-1 with respect to 1,500,259 shares of our common stock to be issued in the Spin-off. On February 6, 2013, the secured promissory note was repaid in full. On February 22, 2013, CMGO completed the Spin-off.
In connection with the Separation, we entered into a Royalty Agreement with CMGO. Pursuant to the Royalty Agreement, for a period of five years, we will pay to CMGO 10% of cash received from income earned or settlements on judgments directly resulting from our patent enforcement and licensing strategy, whether received by us on any of our affiliates, net in either case of any direct costs or tax implications incurred in pursuit of such strategy as they relate to the patents described in the Master Agreement.  Additionally, we entered into a Services Agreement with CMGO whereby, without duplication to the amounts payable under the Royalty Agreement, for a period of 5 years, CMGO will receive a commission of 7.5% of all revenues received by us after the Separation from all business, clients or other sources of revenue procured by CMGO or its employees, officers or subsidiaries and directed to us and 10% of net revenues obtained from a specified customer.
On March 22, 2013, we and AEAC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which AEAC would be merged with and into our company, (the “Merger”) with our company being the surviving entity.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of AEAC common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger effective date would be converted into .94134 share of our common stock and the outstanding convertible debentures of AEAC, (the “AEAC Debentures”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,400,200, together with accrued interest thereon, would be assumed by us and then exchanged for convertible debentures of our company, (the “AE Debentures”).
Effective March 25, 2013, the Merger was completed.  In connection with the Merger, the stockholders of AEAC received on a pro rata basis the 24,004,143 shares of our common stock that were held by AEAC, and the former holders of the AEAC Debentures received an aggregate of 5,871,752 shares of our common stock pursuant to their conversion of all of the AE Debentures issued to replace the AEAC Debentures.  The principal asset of AEAC was the Rights that had been contributed to AEAC by the former stockholders of our company.  As a result of the Merger, the Rights have been extinguished.
Overview
We have developed patented Internet content publication and distribution software that enables conversion of any media into accessible formats and allows for real time distribution to end users on any Internet-connected device. We have a patent portfolio comprised of five patents in the United States, as well as several pending U.S. patents.  Our portfolio includes a number of patents that describe unique systems and methods for navigating devices and Internet content, as well as publication and automated solutions that connect to any content management system, and can deliver a mobile, usable, and accessi ble user experience to any consumer device.
11
This patented technology is the foundation of our mission to become a leader in Internet accessibility, mobile audio Internet navigation, and multi-format publishing technology as well as Internet content publication and distribution software.  Our management believes that there is significant market opportunity for our services as most websites are developed with the assumption that users can see the site, with the result that visually-impaired users have difficulty using such websites. Accordingly, providing accessibility services for these websites has become a significant market opportunity, as there are approximately 33 million computer users who have some form of visual impairment.
In October 2010, Congress passed and the President signed into law the Twenty-First Century Communication and Video Accessibility Act of 2010, which mandates that all government websites (city, state and federal) be compliant and provide accessibility to persons with disabilities. As a result, our management believes that providing accessibility services for these government websites has become a significant market opportunity in view of the potential demand for our patented solution.
Our consolidated audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, (“GAAP”).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by our management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.
Our critical accounting policies, as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, relate to capitalized legal patent costs, income taxes, business combinations, goodwill, intangible assets, share-based payments, revenue recognition, and research and other accounting descriptions. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
Not applicable.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2013 in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles due to our management identifying a material weakness in lack of control processes in place that provide multiple levels of supervision and review as of March 31, 2013.  Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2013 for a complete descussion relating to the foregoing evaluation of our controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
