History
STL
Marketing Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “our Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,”
or “STL,” was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on February 16, 1999 under the original name of
Fountain Colony Ventures, Inc. Fountain Colony Ventures, Inc. changed its name to SGT Ventures, Inc. in March 2006. In June 2006,
SGT Ventures, Inc. changed its name to Stronghold Industries, Inc. On October 30, 2007, Stronghold Industries, Inc. entered into
a share purchase and exchange agreement with Image Worldwide, Inc. The Company name was officially changed with the Secretary
of State to Image Worldwide, Inc. (“Image Worldwide”) on November 21, 2007. In 2008, Image Worldwide concentrated
its business activities on helping clients create, market and promote their brands and image in print, online and at live events.
Image Worldwide entered into a share exchange agreement with St. Louis Packaging Inc. on January 31, 2009.
In
April 2009, the Company changed its name to STL Marketing Group, Inc. On December 1, 2009, the Company sold majority of the STL
Brands to Alliance Creative Group, Inc. In March of 2011, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with United Fuel Savers
and entered into an option agreement to purchase land in Texas for a potential business opportunity. Prior to October 15, 2012,
this distribution agreement and option agreement was canceled. On October 15, 2012, the Company agreed to merge with Versant Corporation,
a Colorado based renewable energy company. On February 4, 2013 the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Versant
whereby Versant became the Company’s wholly owned operating subsidiary. The transaction is being accounted for as a reverse
merger. Accordingly, the historical financial information going forward will be that of Versant Corporation and subsidiaries.
On
May 29, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of STL Marketing Group, Inc. (the “Company”) approved
the formation of PhoneSuite Solutions, Inc. (“PSS”), as a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company. On June 16, 2014, the Board approved the issuance of one-hundred (100) shares of common stock of PSS to the Company (the
“Subsidiary Shares”). The Subsidiary Shares represent 100% of the authorized shares of common stock of PSS.
On
June 24, 2014, PSS, as the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a Strategic Alliance and Distribution Agreement
(the “Agreement”) with Call Management Products, Inc. (“CMP”), a Colorado corporation in the business
of designing, manufacturing, marketing, and selling telecommunications products. The Agreement provides that PSS will establish
a dealer network and market and sell CMP’s products both internationally and in the United States (the “Territory”).
In the domestic market PSS will market to the general business market, excluding the hospitality and assisted living verticals.
Internationally, PSS may sell to all markets and develop both the hospitality and general business marketplaces.
Additionally,
the Agreement provides that PSS will develop the Territories at its cost and promote CMP’s brands, name and products consistently
across the globe. PSS is an exclusive Strategic Ally for CMP’s products in the Territory. The Agreement provides that, each
year, PSS and CMP will mutually establish a sales quota for PSS to meet, with the first quota set for fiscal 2015.
As
a result, our business operations are currently (i) the sale and distribution of telecommunications under the brand name PhoneSuite;
and (ii) the prospective sale of electricity through a planned wind park to a government owned utility company in Costa Rica.
The Company continues to evaluate additional opportunities to bolster its revenue stream.
STL
Marketing Group, Inc. has been trading on the OTC Market Pink Sheets under the symbol ‘STLK’ since April 2009.
OVERVIEW
OF OUR RENEWABLE ENERGY BUSINESS
STL
Marketing Group, Inc. (OTC: STLK), (the “Company”) is a Colorado corporation seeking to provide wind energy to the
Costa Rican government from a wind power generation plant the Company intends to build and operate pursuant to a PPA (as defined
in previous filings). Currently, Costa Rica has placed any new non-government renewable energy projects on an indefinite hold.
The Company reported these developments but has not seen any resolution in country. As such, the Company will continue to monitor
the political situation and when, and if, the political situation changes or allows for such a project as ours, we will renew
efforts to pursue the PPA. Until this is resolved in the political arena, the Company will focus on its software applications
efforts.
OVERVIEW
OF OUR SOFTWARE / APPLICATIONS BUSINESS
In
2015, the Company pivoted towards technology. In late 2015, the Company signed two binding letters of intent, one for a mobile
application named F3TCH and the second with KINETOS, S.A., a software developer and designer based in Costa Rica. The Company’s
previous agreement with Call Management Products, Inc. is also in essence an application, an IP based hotel communications application.
As envisioned two of these three software platforms will be sold on a business-to-business model with F3TCH being a hybrid application
that requires acceptance and approval from hotel chains, for example, and conversion or downloads by end users.
PhoneSuite
Solutions
On
May 29, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of STL Marketing Group, Inc. (the “Company”) approved
the formation of PhoneSuite Solutions, Inc. (“PSS”), as a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company. On June 16, 2014, the Board approved the issuance of one-hundred (100) shares of common stock of PSS to the Company (the
“Subsidiary Shares”). The Subsidiary Shares represent 100% of the authorized shares of common stock of PSS.
On
June 24, 2014, PSS, as the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a Strategic Alliance and Distribution Agreement
(the “Agreement”) with Call Management Products, Inc. (“CMP”), a Colorado corporation in the business
of designing, manufacturing, marketing, and selling telecommunications products. The Agreement provides that PSS will establish
a dealer network and market and sell CMP’s products both internationally and in the United States (the “Territory”).
In the domestic market PSS will market to the general business market, excluding the hospitality and assisted living verticals.
Internationally, PSS may sell to all markets and develop both the hospitality and general business marketplaces.
Additionally,
the Agreement provides that PSS will develop the Territories at its cost and promote CMP’s brands, name and products consistently
across the globe. PSS is an exclusive Strategic Ally for CMP’s products in the Territory. The Agreement provides that, each
year, PSS and CMP will mutually establish a sales quota for PSS to meet, with the first quota set for fiscal 2015.
At
this time, internal work has been completed on both the structural necessities for this type of transactional business and the
necessary training and certifications processes to ensure the proper infrastructure in instituting a process to establish dealers.
Internal review of our accounting systems has also been completed and is now loaded and adapted to quoting, entering orders, and
invoicing.
To
date, the Company has issued quotes to interested, potential customers for VoIP equipment. While there is no guarantee these quotes
will be sold, it is an important milestone, as we believe this sales funnel does begin to indicate that we may have revenue in
the near term, which we believe will help to establish a baseline to provide future goals based on previous sales.
To
ensure an active and successful dealer program and sales funnel, we have begun the process of establishing our dealer network.
In 2014, the Company has successfully signed three distribution agreements covering the United Arab Emirates and India, Barbados
and Nigeria. The initial efforts over the past year, 2015, have been slow and creating the brand awareness has been more difficult
than expected. New solutions like CMP’s cloud offering should alleviate some of the current challenges in our opinion. We
believe PhoneSuite Solutions, Inc. will begin to generate revenue, add dealers, and follow through with our goal to gain financial
independence in 2016.
Competition
Competitors
vary by region. However, we believe our major competitors include Avaya, Shoretel, NEC, Mitel and Cisco. PSS is focused on providing
newer technologies such as Voiceware (full VoIP) and the Series 2 (VoIP/ Analog hybrid) for its dealer business vertical as well
as a new Voiceware cloud based offering.
Business
Plan
PSS
is focused on the promotion, marketing, and sales of two of PhoneSuite’s core products (i) Voiceware and (ii) the Series2.
These products are already deployed in the United States, with PSS now developing the dealer channel to achieve sales revenues
overseas. These products are VoIP Private Branch Exchange products, designed to provide a feature rich software based communications
system to primarily hotels.

Voiceware
-
Voiceware is a VoIP phone system (IP-PBX) application designed for today’s hospitality voice communication needs.
The server-based core makes Voiceware extremely flexible, and enables PhoneSuite to continually enhance and improve a hotel
PBX feature set without expensive equipment upgrades.

Series
2 -
Series2 VoIP combines a traditional telephone platform (analog room phones and digital and analog telephone lines)
with a Voiceware server. This converts traditional analog and digital end points to be compatible with VoIP technology. With
this technology a customer will be able to use existing wiring plans and phones without potentially expensive upgrades.

Item
1A. Risk Factors.
Our
independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern,
which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.
We
have a history of losses and may continue to incur operating and net losses for the foreseeable future. For the year ended December
31, 2015, we incurred a net loss of $1,155,951 and used cash in operating activities of $165,880, and at December 31, 2015, we
had a stockholders’ deficit of $6,047,343. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. As a result, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 with respect to this uncertainty. This going concern opinion
could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of new debt or equity securities or otherwise,
and future reports on our financial statements may also include an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue
as a going concern.
The ability
of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement
its business plan. A significant amount of capital will be necessary to advance the development of our projects to the point at
which they will become commercially viable. The Company plans to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to allow us the
ability to cover our current cash flow requirements and meet our obligations as they become due. There can be no assurances that
financing will be available or if available, that it will be under favorable terms. In the event that we are unable to generate
adequate revenues to cover expenses and cannot obtain additional financing in the near future, we may need to cease operations
or seek protection under bankruptcy laws. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
uncertainty as to whether we will continue as a “going concern”. Our ability to continue status as a “going
concern” is dependent upon our generating cash flow sufficient to fund operations. If we continue incurring losses and fail
to achieve profitability, we may have to cease our operations. Our business plan may not be successful in addressing these issues.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSES
WE
HAVE GENERATED SUBSTANTIAL NET LOSSES AND NEGATIVE OPERATING CASH FLOWS SINCE OUR INCEPTION AND EXPECT TO CONTINUE TO DO SO AS
WE BEGIN TO DEVELOP AND CONSTRUCT OUR FUTURE ENERGY AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROJECTS.
We
have generated substantial net losses and negative operating cash flows from operating activities since our operations commenced.
We
expect that our net losses will continue and our cash used in operating activities will grow during the next several years, as
compared with prior periods, as we increase our development activities. Energy and telecommunications projects typically incur
operating losses prior to commercial operation at which point the projects begin to generate positive operating cash flow. We
also expect to incur additional costs, contributing to our losses and operating uses of cash, as we incur the incremental costs
of operating as a fully reporting public company. Our costs may also increase due to factors such as higher than anticipated financing
and other costs; increases in the costs of labor or materials; and major incidents or catastrophic events. If any of those factors
occurs, our losses could increase significantly and the value of our common stock could decline. As a result, our net losses and
accumulated deficit could increase significantly.
WE
DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT CASH ON HAND. IF WE DO NOT GENERATE SUFFICIENT REVENUES FROM SALES, AMONG OTHER FACTORS, WE WILL BE UNABLE
TO CONTINUE OUR OPERATIONS.
There
is limited history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove to be successful, and we may not
be able to generate enough operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these
risks, our business will be adversely affected.
WE
HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY. IF WE ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN CONTINUING TO GROW THE BUSINESS, THEN WE MAY HAVE TO SCALE BACK
OR EVEN CEASE ONGOING BUSINESS OPERATIONS.
We
have no history of revenues from operations. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will
ever operate profitably. Operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise,
such as difficulties in commercializing our wind energy power generation plant and telecommunications business, and the uncertainties
arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We may be unable to sign customer contracts or operate on a profitable
basis. If the business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their
investment.
IF
WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FUNDING, BUSINESS OPERATIONS WILL BE HARMED, AND IF WE DO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING THEN
EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS MAY SUFFER SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION.
Additional
capital will be required to effectively support the operations and otherwise implement overall business strategy. We currently
do not have any contracts or commitments for additional financing. There can be no assurance that financing will be available
in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow
and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will
likely be required to curtail and possibly cease operations. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution
to then existing shareholders.
THE
LOSS OF ONE OR MORE MEMBERS OF OUR SENIOR MANAGEMENT OR KEY EMPLOYEES MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO IMPLEMENT OUR STRATEGY.
We
depend on our experienced management team and the loss of one or more key executives could have a negative impact on our business.
Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Mr. Jose P. Quiros, our Chief Executive Officer. The
loss of the services of Mr. Quiros could have a material adverse effect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. Mr.
Quiros does have an employment agreement with the Company.
In
order to successfully implement and manage our business plan, we will be dependent upon, among other things, successfully recruiting
qualified managerial and company personnel having experience in the small wind turbine and telecommunications business. Competition
for qualified individuals is intense.
We
also depend on our ability to retain and motivate key employees and attract qualified new employees. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to retain existing employees or that we will be able to find, attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable
terms. If we lose a member of the management team or a key employee, we may not be able to replace him or her. Integrating new
employees into our management team and training new employees with no prior experience in the wind industry could prove disruptive
to our operations, require a disproportionate amount of resources and management attention and ultimately prove unsuccessful.
An inability to attract and retain sufficient technical and managerial personnel could limit or delay our development efforts,
which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
WE
NEED TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN REQUIRED DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND
TO MEET THE PUBLIC REPORTING AND THE FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR OUR BUSINESS, WHICH WILL BE TIME CONSUMING FOR OUR MANAGEMENT.
Our
management has a legal and fiduciary duty to establish and maintain disclosure controls and control procedures in compliance with
the securities laws, including the requirements mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The standards that must be met for
management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are complex, and require significant documentation,
testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. Because we have limited resources, we may encounter problems
or delays in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and other
disclosure controls and procedures. If we cannot assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective or provide
adequate disclosure controls or implement sufficient control procedures, or our independent registered public accounting firm
is unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on such assessment, investor confidence and share value may be negatively
impacted.
IF
WE CANNOT EFFECTIVELY MANAGE OUR INTERNAL GROWTH, OUR POTENTIAL BUSINESS PROSPECTS, REVENUES AND PROFIT MARGINS MAY SUFFER.
If
we fail to effectively manage our internal growth in a manner that minimizes strains on our resources, we could experience disruptions
in our operations and ultimately be unable to generate revenues or profits. We expect that we will need to significantly expand
our operations to successfully implement our business strategy. As we add manufacturing, marketing, sales and installation and
build our infrastructure, we expect that our operating expenses and capital requirements will increase. To effectively manage
our growth, we must continue to expend funds to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems
and procedures. In addition, we must effectively expand, train and manage our employee base. If we fail in our efforts to manage
our internal growth, our prospects, revenue and profit margins may suffer.
THE
PRODUCTION OF WIND ENERGY DEPENDS HEAVILY ON SUITABLE WIND CONDITIONS. IF WIND CONDITIONS ARE UNFAVORABLE OR BELOW OUR ESTIMATES,
OUR ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION, AND THEREFORE OUR REVENUES, MAY BE SUBSTANTIALLY BELOW OUR EXPECTATIONS.
The
electricity produced and revenues generated by a wind energy project depend heavily on wind conditions, which are variable and
difficult to predict. Operating results for projects vary significantly from period to period depending on the wind resource during
the periods in question. We base our decisions about which sites to develop in part on the findings of long-term wind and other
meteorological studies conducted in the proposed area, which measure the wind’s speed, prevailing direction and seasonal
variations. Actual wind conditions, however, may not conform to the measured data in these studies and may be affected by variations
in weather patterns, including any potential impact of climate change. Therefore, the electricity generated by our projects may
not meet our anticipated production levels or the rated capacity of the turbines located there, which could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations. If the wind resources at a project are below the average level we expect,
our rate of return for the project would be below our expectations and we would be adversely affected. Projections of wind resources
also rely upon assumptions about turbine placement, interference between turbines and the effects of vegetation, land use and
terrain, which involve uncertainty and require us to exercise considerable judgment. We or our consultants may make mistakes in
conducting these wind and other meteorological studies. Any of these factors could cause us to develop sites that have less wind
potential than we had expected, or to develop sites in ways that do not optimize their potential, which could cause the return
on our investment in these projects to be lower than expected.
If
our wind energy assessments turn out to be wrong, our business could suffer a number of material adverse consequences, including:
●
|
our
energy production and sales may be significantly lower than we predict;
|
|
|
●
|
any
future hedging arrangements may be ineffective or more costly;
|
|
|
●
|
we
may not produce sufficient energy to meet future commitments to sell electricity as a result, we may have to pay damages;
and
|
|
|
●
|
our
projects may not generate sufficient cash flow to make payments of principal and interest as they become due on any future
project-related debt, and we may have difficulty obtaining financing for future projects.
|
NATURAL
EVENTS MAY REDUCE ENERGY PRODUCTION BELOW OUR EXPECTATIONS.
A
natural disaster, severe weather or an accident that damages or otherwise adversely affects any of our operations could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Lightning strikes, icing, earthquakes,
tornados, extreme wind, severe storms, wildfires and other unfavorable weather conditions or natural disasters could damage or
require us to shut down our turbines or related equipment and facilities, impeding our ability to maintain and operate our facilities
and decreasing electricity production levels and our revenues. Operational problems, such as degradation of turbine components
due to wear or weather or capacity limitations on the electrical transmission network, can also affect the amount of energy we
are able to deliver. Any of these events, to the extent not fully covered by insurance, could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
OPERATIONAL
PROBLEMS MAY REDUCE ENERGY PRODUCTION BELOW OUR EXPECTATIONS
.
Spare
parts for wind turbines and key pieces of electrical equipment may be hard to acquire or unavailable to us. Sources for some significant
spare parts and other equipment are located outside of North America. If we were to experience a shortage of or inability to acquire
critical spare parts, we could incur significant delays in returning facilities to full operation. In addition, we may not hold
spare substation main transformers. These transformers are designed specifically for each wind energy project, and the current
lead time to receive an order for this type of equipment is over eight months. If we had to replace any future substation main
transformers, we could be unable to sell electricity from the affected wind energy project until a replacement is installed. That
interruption to our business might not be fully covered by insurance.
WE
FACE COMPETITION PRIMARILY FROM OTHER RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES AND, IN PARTICULAR, OTHER WIND ENERGY COMPANIES.
We
believe our primary competitors are developers and operators focused on renewable energy generation, specifically wind energy
companies. We will compete with other wind energy companies primarily for sites with good wind resources that can be built in
a cost-effective manner. We will also compete for access to transmission or distribution networks. Because the wind energy industry
in the United States is at an early stage, we will also compete with other wind energy developers for the limited pool of personnel
with requisite industry knowledge and experience. Furthermore, in recent years, there have been times of increased demand for
wind turbine related components, causing turbine suppliers to have difficulty meeting the demand. If these conditions return in
the future, component manufacturers may give priority to other market participants, including our competitors, who may have resources
greater than ours.
We
compete with other renewable energy companies (and energy companies in general) for the financing needed to pursue our development
plan. Once we have developed a project and put a project into operation, we may compete on price if we sell electricity into power
markets at wholesale market prices. Depending on the regulatory framework and market dynamics of a region, we may also compete
with other wind energy companies, as well other renewable energy generators, when we bid on or negotiate for a long-term PPA.
WE
WILL ALSO COMPETE WITH TRADITIONAL ENERGY COMPANIES.
We
will also compete with traditional energy companies. For example, depending on the regulatory framework and market dynamics of
a region, we also compete with traditional electricity producers when we bid on or negotiate for a long-term PPA. Furthermore,
technological progress in traditional forms of electricity generation (including technology that reduces or sequesters greenhouse
gas emissions) or the discovery of large new deposits of traditional fuels could reduce the cost of electricity generated from
those sources or make them more environmentally friendly, and as a consequence reduce the demand for electricity from renewable
energy sources or render existing or future wind energy projects uncompetitive. Any of these developments could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
NEGATIVE
PUBLIC OR COMMUNITY RESPONSE TO WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN GENERAL OR OUR PROJECTS SPECIFICALLY CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY
TO DEVELOP OUR WIND FARM PROJECTS.
Negative
public or community response to our wind energy projects can adversely affect our ability to develop, construct and operate our
projects. This type of negative response can lead to legal, public relations and other challenges that impede our ability to meet
our development and construction targets, achieve commercial operations for a project on schedule, address the changing needs
of our projects over time, and generate revenues. If we are unable to develop, construct and operate the production capacity that
we expect from our future development projects in our anticipated timeframes, it could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
WE
NEED GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL FROM THE COSTA RICAN GOVERNMENT AND PERMITS TO CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE OUR PROJECTS. ANY FAILURE TO PROCURE
AND/OR MAINTAIN NECESSARY PERMITS WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT ONGOING DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION AND CONTINUING OPERATION OF OUR PROJECTS.
The
design, construction and operation of wind energy projects are highly regulated, require various approvals from the government
of Costa Rica and permits, including environmental approvals and permits, and may be subject to the imposition of related conditions
that vary by jurisdiction. In some cases, these approvals and permits require periodic renewal, which we may not be able to successfully
obtain. We cannot predict whether all permits required for a given project will be granted or whether the conditions associated
with the permits will be achievable. The denial of a permit essential to a project or the imposition of impractical conditions
would impair our ability to develop the project. In addition, we cannot predict whether the permits will attract significant opposition
or whether the permitting process will be lengthened due to complexities and appeals. Delay in the review and permitting process
for a project can impair or delay our ability to develop that project or increase the cost so substantially that the project is
no longer attractive to us. In the future, we may experience delays in developing our future projects due to delays in obtaining
non-appealable permits. If we were to commence construction in anticipation of obtaining the final, non-appealable permits needed
for a project, we would be subject to the risk of being unable to complete the project if all the permits were not obtained. If
this were to occur, we would likely lose a significant portion of our investment in the project and could incur a loss as a result.
Any failure to procure and maintain necessary permits would adversely affect ongoing development, construction and continuing
operation of our projects.
OUR
DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES AND OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO NUMEROUS ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
We
are subject to numerous environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we intend
to operate. These laws and regulations will require us to obtain approvals and maintain permits, undergo environmental impact
assessments and review processes and implement environmental, health and safety programs and procedures to control risks associated
with the citing, construction, operation and decommissioning of wind energy projects. For example, to obtain permits we could
be required to undertake expensive programs to protect and maintain local endangered species. If such programs are not successful,
we could be subject to penalties or to revocation of our permits. In addition, permits frequently specify permissible sound levels.
If
we do not comply with applicable laws, regulations or permit requirements, we may be required to pay penalties or fines or curtail
or cease operations of the affected projects. Violations of environmental and other laws, regulations and permit requirements,
including certain violations of laws protecting migratory birds and endangered species, may also result in criminal sanctions
or injunctions.
Environmental,
health and safety laws, regulations and permit requirements may change or become more stringent. Any such changes could require
us to incur materially higher costs than we have incurred to date. Our costs of complying with current and future environmental,
health and safety laws, regulations and permit requirements, and any liabilities, fines or other sanctions resulting from violations
of them, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
WE
WILL RELY ON TRANSMISSION LINES AND OTHER TRANSMISSION FACILITIES THAT ARE OWNED AND OPERATED BY THIRD PARTIES. WHEREVER WE DEVELOP
OUR OWN GENERATOR LEADS, WE WILL BE EXPOSED TO TRANSMISSION FACILITY DEVELOPMENT AND CURTAILMENT RISKS, WHICH MAY DELAY AND INCREASE
THE COSTS OF OUR PROJECTS OR REDUCE THE RETURN TO US ON THOSE INVESTMENTS.
We
will depend on electric transmission lines owned and operated by third parties to deliver the electricity we generate. Some of
our projects may have limited access to interconnection and transmission capacity because there can be many parties seeking access
to the limited capacity that may be available. We may not be able to secure access to this limited interconnection or transmission
capacity at reasonable prices or at all. Moreover, a failure in the operation by third parties of these transmission facilities
could result in our losing revenues because such a failure could limit the amount of electricity we deliver. In addition, our
production of electricity may be curtailed due to third-party transmission limitations, reducing our revenues and impairing our
ability to capitalize fully on a particular project’s potential. Such a failure could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In
certain circumstances, we may develop our own generator leads in the future from our projects to available electricity transmission
or distribution networks when such facilities do not already exist. In some cases, these facilities may cover significant distances.
To construct such facilities, we need approvals, permits and land rights, which may be difficult or impossible to acquire or the
acquisition of which may require significant expenditures. We may not be successful in these activities, and our projects that
rely on such generator lead development may be delayed, have increased costs or not be feasible. Our failure in operating these
generator leads could result in lost revenues because it could limit the amount of electricity we are able to deliver. In addition,
we may be required by law or regulation to provide service over our facilities to third parties at regulated rates, which could
constrain transmission of our power from the affected facilities, or we could be subject to additional regulatory risks associated
with being considered the owner of a transmission line.
WE
MAY BE UNABLE TO CONSTRUCT OUR WIND ENERGY PROJECTS ON TIME, AND OUR CONSTRUCTION COSTS COULD INCREASE TO LEVELS THAT MAKE A PROJECT
TOO EXPENSIVE TO COMPLETE OR MAKE THE RETURN ON OUR INVESTMENT IN THAT PROJECT LESS THAN EXPECTED.
There
may be delays or unexpected developments in completing our future wind energy projects, which could cause the construction costs
of these projects to exceed our expectations. We may suffer significant construction delays or construction cost increases as
a result of a variety of factors, including, without limitation:
|
●
|
failure
to manufacture turbines on the required schedule;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
failure
to receive other critical components and equipment, including batteries, that meet our design specifications on schedule;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
failure
to complete interconnection to transmission networks;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
failure
to obtain all necessary rights to land access and use;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
failure
to receive quality and timely performance of third-party services;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
failure
to secure and maintain environmental and other permits or approvals;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
appeals
of environmental and other permits or approvals that we obtain;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
failure
to obtain capital to develop our planned wind farm projects;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
shortage
of skilled labor;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
inclement
weather conditions;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
adverse
environmental and geological conditions; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
force
majeure
or other events out of our control.
|
Any
of these factors could give rise to construction delays and construction costs in excess of our expectations. This could prevent
us from completing construction of a project, cause defaults under any potential financing agreements or under PPAs that require
completion of project construction by a certain time, cause the project to be unprofitable for us, or otherwise impair our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
FUTURE
LITIGATION OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS RELATED TO OUR WIND FARM PROJECTS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS,
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
In
the future, we may be involved in legal proceedings, administrative proceedings, claims and/or litigation that arise in the ordinary
course of business of wind farm projects. Individuals and interest groups may sue to challenge the issuance of a permit for a
wind energy project or seek to enjoin construction of a wind energy project. In addition, we may be subject to legal proceedings
or claims contesting the construction or operation of future wind energy projects. Unfavorable outcomes or developments relating
to any such proceedings, such as judgments for monetary damages, injunctions or denial or revocation of permits, could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
WE
ARE NOT ABLE TO INSURE AGAINST ALL POTENTIAL RISKS AND MAY BECOME SUBJECT TO HIGHER INSURANCE PREMIUMS.
Our
wind energy division will be exposed to the risks inherent in the construction and operation of wind energy projects, such as
breakdowns, manufacturing defects, natural disasters, terrorist attacks and sabotage, not all of which is insurable. We may also
be exposed to environmental risks. We will have insurance policies covering certain risks associated with our business. However,
any such insurance policies will not cover losses as a result of
force majeure
, natural disasters, terrorist attacks or
sabotage, among other things. We do not expect to maintain insurance for certain environmental risks, such as environmental contamination
with respect to our wind energy business. In addition, our insurance policies may be subject to annual review by our insurers
and may not be renewed at all or on similar or favorable terms. A serious uninsured loss or a loss significantly exceeding the
limits of our future insurance policies could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
WE
FACE FORMIDABLE COMPETITION FROM NUMEROUS ESTABLISHED FIRMS THAT PROVIDE BOTH TRADITIONAL ENTERPRISE VOICE COMMUNICATIONS SOLUTIONS
AS WELL AS PROVIDERS OF TECHNOLOGY RELATED TO BUSINESS COLLABORATION AND CONTACT CENTER SOLUTIONS; AS THESE MARKETS EVOLVE, WE
EXPECT COMPETITION TO INTENSIFY AND EXPAND TO INCLUDE COMPANIES THAT DO NOT CURRENTLY COMPETE DIRECTLY AGAINST US.
We
compete against providers of both traditional enterprise voice communications solutions, as well as providers of technology related
to business collaboration and contact center solutions. In addition, because the business collaboration market continues to evolve
and technology continues to develop rapidly, we may face competition in the future from companies that do not currently compete
against us, but whose current business activities may bring them into competition with us in the future. In particular, information
technology and communications applications deployed on converged networks become more integrated to support business collaboration.
We may face increased competition from current leaders in information technology infrastructure, information technology, consumer
products companies, personal and business applications and the software that connects the network infrastructure to those applications.
Several of our existing competitors have, and many of our future competitors may have, greater financial, personnel, technical,
research and development and other resources, more well-established brands or reputations and broader customer bases and, as a
result, these competitors may be in a stronger position to respond quickly to potential acquisitions and other market opportunities,
new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Some of these competitors may have customer bases that are
more geographically balanced and therefore, may be less affected by an economic downturn in a particular region. Other competitors
may have deeper expertise in a particular stand-alone technology that develops more quickly than we anticipate. Competitors with
greater resources also may be able to offer lower prices, additional products or services or other incentives. Industry consolidations
may also create competitors with broader and more geographic coverage and the ability to reach enterprises through communications
service providers. Existing customers of data networking companies that compete against us may be inclined to purchase enterprise
communications solutions from their current data networking or software vendors. Additionally, as communications and data networks
converge, we may face competition from systems integrators that traditionally have been focused on data network integration.
RISKS
RELATED TO THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY - REGULATION OF IP-BASED NETWORKS AND COMMERCE IN THE UNITED STATES AND ELSEWHERE MAY
INCREASE, COMPLIANCE WITH THESE REGULATIONS MAY BE TIME-CONSUMING, DIFFICULT AND COSTLY AND, IF WE FAIL TO COMPLY, OUR SALES MIGHT
DECREASE.
In
general, the telecommunications industry is highly regulated. Regulatory treatment of VoIP telephony outside the United States
varies from country to country and often the laws are unclear. We currently plan to distribute our products and services directly
through resellers that may be subject to telecommunications regulations in their home countries. The failure by us or our resellers
to comply with these laws and regulations could impact our business operations. Such regulations could include matters such as
using or providing VoIP services or protocols, encryption technology and access charges for service providers. The adoption of
such regulations could prohibit entry into a target market or force us to withdraw products in one or more jurisdictions. As a
result, overall demand for our products could decrease and, at the same time, the cost of selling our products could increase,
either of which, or the combination of both, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial
condition.
In
addition, the convergence of the public switched telephone network, or PSTN, and IP-based networks could become subject to governmental
regulation, including the imposition of access fees or other tariffs, and such regulation could adversely affect the market for
our products and services. User uncertainty regarding future policies and regulations may also affect demand for communications
products such as ours. We may be required, or we may otherwise deem it necessary or advisable, to alter our products to address
actual or anticipated changes in the regulatory environment. Our inability to timely alter our products or address any regulatory
changes may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
WE
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY IN OUR HIGHLY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRIES, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
.
We
face significant competition in many of the markets in which we do business and expect that this competition will intensify. The
principal competitive factors in our business are range of service offerings, global capabilities and price and quality of services.
In addition, we believe there has been an industry trend to move agent-based operations toward offshore sites. The trend toward
international expansion by foreign and domestic competitors and continuous technological changes may erode profits by bringing
new competitors into our markets and reducing prices. Our competitors’ products, services and pricing practices, as well
as the timing and circumstances of the entry of additional competitors into our markets, could adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
We
rely on a combination of an internal sales effort and third party relationships to market our services. If we are unable to offset
pricing declines through increased transaction volume and greater efficiency due to a failure of our sales efforts or otherwise,
our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
RISKS
RELATED TO COMMON STOCK
POTENTIAL
FUTURE FINANCINGS MAY DILUTE THE HOLDINGS OF OUR CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS.
In
order to provide capital for the operation of our business, in the future we may enter into financing arrangements. These arrangements
may involve the issuance of new shares of common stock, preferred stock that is convertible into common stock, debt securities
that are convertible into common stock or warrants for the purchase of common stock. Any of these items could result in a material
increase in the number of shares of common stock outstanding, which would in turn result in a dilution of the ownership interests
of existing common shareholders. In addition, these new securities could contain provisions, such as priorities on distributions
and voting rights, which could affect the value of our existing common stock.
WE
CURRENTLY DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK. AS A RESULT, YOUR ONLY OPPORTUNITY TO ACHIEVE A RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT
IS IF THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK APPRECIATES
.
We
currently do not expect to declare or pay dividends on our common stock. In addition, in the future we may enter into agreements
that prohibit or restrict our ability to declare or pay dividends on our common stock. As a result, your only opportunity to achieve
a return on your investment will be if the market price of our common stock appreciates and you sell your shares at a profit.
YOU
MAY EXPERIENCE DILUTION OF YOUR OWNERSHIP INTEREST DUE TO THE FUTURE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
We
are in a capital intensive business and we do not have sufficient funds to finance the growth of our natural gas, oil and wind
energy divisions of our business or the construction costs of our development projects or to support our projected capital expenditures.
As a result, we will require additional funds from future equity or debt financings, including tax equity financing transactions
or sales of preferred shares or convertible debt, to complete the development of new projects and pay the general and administrative
costs of our business. We may in the future issue our previously authorized and unissued securities, resulting in the dilution
of the ownership interests of holders of our common stock. We are currently authorized to issue 2,600,000,000 shares of common
stock and 1,401,925,000 shares of preferred stock with preferences and rights as determined by our board of directors. The potential
issuance of such additional shares of common stock or preferred stock or convertible debt may create downward pressure on the
trading price of our common stock. We may also issue additional shares of common stock or other securities that are convertible
into or exercisable for common stock in future public offerings or private placements for capital raising purposes or for other
business purposes. The future issuance of a substantial number of common shares into the public market, or the perception that
such issuance could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common shares. A decline in the price of
our common shares could make it more difficult to raise funds through future offerings of our common shares or securities convertible
into common shares.
THERE
IS CURRENTLY A LIMITED PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK. FAILURE TO DEVELOP OR MAINTAIN A TRADING MARKET COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT
ITS VALUE AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO SELL YOUR SHARES.
There
has been a limited public market for our common stock and an active public market for our common stock may never develop. Failure
to develop or maintain an active trading market could make it difficult for you to sell your shares or recover any part of your
investment in us. Even if a market for our common stock does develop, the market price of our common stock may be highly volatile.
In addition to the uncertainties relating to future operating performance and the profitability of operations, factors such as
variations in interim financial results or various, as yet unpredictable, factors, many of which are beyond our control, may have
a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.
“PENNY
STOCK” RULES MAY MAKE BUYING OR SELLING OUR COMMON STOCK DIFFICULT.
If
the market price for our common stock is below $5.00 per share, trading in our common stock will be subject to the “penny
stock” rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market
price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules would require that any broker-dealer that would
recommend our common stock to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special
written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction.
Unless an exception is available, the regulations would require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock,
of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market. In
addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current
quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage
broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our
common stock.

2. Properties.
Currently,
we are headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado and operate our main office located at 10 Boulder Crescent, Suite 102, Colorado
Springs, CO 80903. The office is approximately 973 square feet. The original lease including operating building costs increased
to $1,135 per month in November 2012 and ended on October 31, 2013. On November 13, 2013, the Company entered into a second rental
amendment to the original lease agreement by and between G. Douglas and Janis Wasson and Engelage Real Estate One, LLC, (Landlord)
and Versant Corporation, (Tenant), dated October 15, 2010. The lease expires on November 14, 2016. Not including operating building
costs, the minimum base rent schedule is $694.08 per month for the year beginning November 15, 2013, $742.66 per month for the
year beginning November 15, 2014, and $794.65 per month for the year beginning November 15, 2015.

3. Legal Proceedings.
Arbitration-
Grupo Aldesa- (Pending)
In
2012, the Company filed an arbitration claim with the “Centro Internacional de Conciliacion y Arbitraje” or “CICA”
alleging that Grupo Aldesa, S.A., its then investment bank, withheld $195,400 of investor funds from the Company in mid-2011 for
its own use and benefit and contrary to the executed agreement between the companies. The case claims that Aldesa received funds
from two investors and remitted 50% of those funds and keeping the balance without authorization. Additionally, the Company did
notify the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as well as, the State Attorney General of both Delaware and Colorado in mid-2012.
Grupo Aldesa appealed to the Sala Primera de la Corte Suprema (the Supreme Court over these types of legal matters) in October
of 2012 claiming CICA did not have subject matter jurisdiction or the right to adjudicate the case. In a strongly worded opinion
Sala Primera rejected Aldesa’s appeal in the Company’s favor. CICA has received the official notice from the Sala
Primera regarding the opinion and has taken up the case from where we were before the appeal.
The
legal process has taken much longer than anticipated due to structural changes in the courts themselves. We do expect to be notified
of a resolution soon. The funds in question are investor funds, so any funds returned would be returned to the investors themselves.
This action was taken by the Company to try and resolve this overcharge of its subscription to Preferred Class A, while a private
Company, on behalf of the investors.
Exchange
Under Section 3(a)(10)
On
March 19, 2014, the Circuit Court of the Second Judicial Circuit in and for Leon County, Florida (the “Court”), entered
an order (the “Order”) approving, among other things, the fairness of the terms and conditions of an exchange pursuant
to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in accordance with a stipulation
of settlement (the “Settlement Agreement”) between STL Marketing Group, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”),
and Tarpon Bay Partners, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Tarpon”), in the matter entitled Tarpon Bay Partners,
LLC v. STL Marketing Group, Inc., Case No. 2014-CA-278 (the “Action”). Tarpon commenced the Action against the Company
on February 6, 2014 to recover an aggregate of $519,281.96 of past-due accounts payable of the Company, which Tarpon had purchased
from certain service providers of the Company pursuant to the terms of separate receivable purchase agreements between Tarpon
and each of such vendors (the “Assigned Accounts”), plus fees and costs (the “Claim”). The Assigned Accounts
relate to certain legal, accounting, and financial services. The Order provides for the full and final settlement of the Claim
and the Action. The Settlement Agreement became effective and binding upon the Company and Tarpon upon execution of the Order
by the Court on March 19, 2014. Please see the current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 25, 2014.
From
time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business.
However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time
to time that may harm our business. Except for the foregoing, we are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe
could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding,
inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending
or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our
Company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our Company’s or our Company’s subsidiaries’ officers
or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

Plan
of Operation
The
Company has reported the delays in private power generation in Costa Rica and its effects on the Company. At this time, there
is no clear timing on when the government’s policies and views will change, if ever. As previously reported, the Company
has significantly reduced or eliminated any expenditures or work in Costa Rica. If the delays in Costa Rica take much more time
to resolve themselves, it is entirely possible that the Company will cease pursuing the Power Purchase Agreement. Information
pertaining to these efforts can be found in previous filings.
As
a result of the delays in Costa Rica, the Company has pivoted to technology, an area where executive management has significant
expertise and sales experience. The Company’s efforts for the next 12 months are focused on software applications in the
following three areas: (i) PhoneSuite Solutions overseas sale of VoIP telecommunications equipment (“PBX Systems”);
(ii) the commercialization, sale and adoption of F3TCH, a mobile APP designed to enhance a hotel guests interaction within the
hotel services worldwide; and (iii) the sale and commercialization of the Hound Software branded software platform comprised of
Data Wrangling, Analytics, Automated Workflow and Telecommunications modules.
Due
to the effect it had on operations, it is important to note that last year was personally difficult for everyone at the Company.
As a very small company, there was an unavoidable delay in our efforts due to the personal tragedy that affected our team. On
April 2, 2015, the eldest son of the CEO died at the United States Air Force Academy, six weeks from graduating with honors with
an astronautics degree. Less than a few weeks later, on April 15
th
, the CEO’s wife went missing. She was found
three days later in the mountains, deceased. These people were either family or very close to everyone at the Company. While we
continued operations and made every attempt to push through, the effect on our progress, or lack thereof, was marked and significant.
PhoneSuite
Solutions, Inc.
Our
latest efforts have been producing a lot of activity and interest. We are continuing to add new dealers to bolster our presence
in key areas. We are currently working to create a structure that will help garner more sales activity from our existing dealer
base, e.g. quotes, meetings, demos etc. In addition, our goal is to further the US focused brand overseas, which Call Management
Products, Inc (“CMP” d/b/a Phonesuite) claims to have installed five thousand systems since its inception (North America).
Our meeting with a major US chain this past October, was positive and we are now working that hotel’s pipeline lists for
various opportunities.
On
the technology front, we have finalized our cloud infrastructure to be able to provide the contracted features to overseas properties,
as required by one of CMP’s contracted partners- Hilton Hotels Worldwide. We chose Amazon’s Web Services for this
deployment and look forward to pursuing new business opportunities for this with other chains, overseas. AWS is a very reliable,
redundant and a powerful infrastructure from which to deliver the PhoneSuite product. While we feel confident we can go to market
with this structure, we caution that adoption by hotels for a cloud-based service has not gained as much momentum as in the generic
business community. However, it is a contractual requirement for Hilton and we do have a premise based IP solution available that
is already working and in properties here in the USA (though CMP). Please note that
CMP is a separate company and not related
to STL Marketing Group, Inc.
F3TCH-
“Hotel Phones Just Got a Whole Lot Smarter”
On
November 5, 2015 the Company entered into a binding Letter of Intent with Camposagrado, Inc. to market and commercialize Camposagrado’s
patent pending Application or “APP”. This Application, trademarked as F3TCH, migrates the hotel guestroom telephone
to a user’s smart device, including their smartphone or tablet and will allow the guest to utilize their own smart device
as their point of contact within the hotel’s communications platform during their stay at a “F3TCH compatible”
hotel. The App is intended to be free to users and hotels and is monetized through the placement of advertisements on the Application.
Hound
Software
On
August 3, 2015 the Company entered into a Letter of Intent with a software developer, Kinetos, S.A.. The Board of Directors is
reviewing documentation to implement the Letter of Intent in a more formal manner between the partners. The KINETOS software platform
is being branded under the name Hound Software. The Company will release information on this as soon as it is available. We look
forward to making this public.
Management
and legal counsel have reviewed previous agreements and believe, pursuant to the Stock Purchase and Share Exchange Agreement effective
as of January 31, 2009 (the “2009 Agreement”) entered into by the Company (then known as Image Worldwide, Inc., a
Colorado corporation). Image Worldwide Marketing, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of the Company (“Image Worldwide
Marketing Delaware”), and St. Louis Packaging, Inc., an Illinois corporation, that Image Worldwide Delaware should have
assumed all liabilities of the Company as of or prior to the 2009 Agreement. Management believes this amounts to $308,333 of debt
(including $265,000 of convertible debt), plus its related interest and derivatives. The Company is currently reviewing and weighing
its options and will proceed accordingly. At December 31, 2015 and 2014 this debt is included on the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
For
the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014
For
the period ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company reported a net loss of $(1,155,951) and $(220,734), respectively. The
change in net loss between the periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 is primarily due to a decrease in the derivative liabilities.
Operating
expenses decreased by $344,563 during the period ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the period ended December 31, 2014. This
decrease in operating expenses is primarily attributed to the following changes in operating expenses: decrease in professional
fees of $258,069 due a decrease in outside services and a decrease in general and administrative of $91,494 due to a decrease
in offering cost expense in 2015 compared to 2014 and a decrease in overall operating expenses.
The
Company has no revenues to date.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of December 31, 2015, we had a working deficit of $6,048,478 as compared to December 31, 2014 of $5,101,747, an increase of $946,731.
The increase in working capital deficit for the period ended December 31, 2015, is primarily attributed to an increase in derivative
liabilities of $597,502. In addition, the Company had an increase in liabilities related to accrued payables and expenses of $241,980,
and in notes payable - related party of $107,571.
Net
cash used in operating activities for the period ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, was $(165,880) and $(286,175), respectively.
The Net Loss for the period ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $(1,155,951) and $(220,734), respectively.

cash provided by all financing activities for the period ended December 31, 2015 was $166,571, as compared to $282,802 for the
period ended December 31, 2014. During the period ended December 31, 2015, the Company sold notes for the proceeds of $59,000.
At
December 31, 2015, the Company had cash on hand for $793. Management estimates that the current funds on hand will not be sufficient
to continue operations. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of debt and equity securities
for cash to operate our business, and estimates that a significant amount of capital will be necessary to advance the development
of our projects to the point at which they will become commercially viable.

Item
9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
On
August 6, 2015 the Company dismissed Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company (“RRBB”) as its independent registered
public accounting firm. None of the reports of RRBB on the Company’s financial statements for either of the past two years
or subsequent interim period contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles, except that the Company’s audited financial statements contained in its Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014, contained a going concern qualification in the Registrant’s
audited financial statements.
During
the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding RRBB’s dismissal, there were no disagreements
with RRBB on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of RRBB concerning the subject matter of each of such disagreements
would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements.
On
August 6, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the engagement of Weinberg & Company, PA (“Weinberg”),
as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, to audit the Company’s financial statements and to
perform reviews of interim financial statements. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and any subsequent
interim period through August 6, 2015, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with Weinberg regarding (i)
either the application of any accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction of the Registrant, or
the type of audit opinion that might be rendered by Weinberg on the Company’s financial statements; or (ii) any matter that
was either the subject of a disagreement with RRBB or a reportable event with respect to RRBB.
Item
9A. Controls and Procedures.
(a)
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Based
on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act) are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in report that we file or
submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that
we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer
and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b)
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Company
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal
executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’s board
of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
and 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
the assets of the issuer;
|
|
|
(2)
|
Provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and
|
|
|
(3)
|
Provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
|
Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is appropriately recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods.
Management
has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based
on the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
Based
on this assessment, management concluded that as of December 31, 2015, it had material weaknesses in its internal control procedures.
As
of December 31, 2015, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective. The Company’s
assessment identified certain material weaknesses, which are set forth below:
Functional
Controls and Segregation of Duties
Because
of the Company’s limited resources, there are limited controls over information processing.
There
is an inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Our Company’s management is composed of a small
number of individuals resulting in a situation where limitations on segregation of duties exist. In order to remedy this situation
we would need to hire additional staff. Currently, it is not feasible to hire additional staff to obtain optimal segregation of
duties. Management will reassess this matter in the following year to determine whether improvement in segregation of duty is
feasible.
Accordingly,
as the result of identifying the above material weaknesses we have concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a
timely basis by the Company’s internal controls.
Management
believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and are intrinsic to our
small size. Management believes these weaknesses did not have a material effect on our financial results and intends to take remedial
actions upon receiving funding for the Company’s business operations.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant
to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report herein.
(c)
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
We
are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will create a position to segregate duties
consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting
function when funds are available to us by preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists which will set
forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure
requirements.
Management
believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the material weaknesses pertaining
to insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application
of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements. We intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements
to remediate these deficiencies, including:
(1)
|
We
will revise processes to provide for a greater role of independent board members in the oversight and review until such time
that we are adequately capitalized to permit hiring additional personnel to address segregation of duties issues, ineffective
controls over the revenue cycle and insufficient supervision and review by our corporate management.
|
|
|
(2)
|
We
will continue to update the documentation of our internal control processes, including formal risk assessment of our financial
reporting processes.
|
We
intend to consider the results of our remediation efforts and related testing as part of our year-end 2015 assessment of the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting.
Subsequent
to December 31, 2015, we have undertaken the following steps to address the deficiencies stated above:
|
●
|
Continued
the development and documentation of internal controls and procedures surrounding the financial reporting process, primarily
through the use of account reconciliations, and supervision.

Common Stock
The
holders of our Common Stock (i) have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as and if
declared by our Board of Directors; (ii) are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders
of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs; (iii) do not have pre-emptive, subscription or conversion
rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and (iv) are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per
share on all matters on which shareholders may vote.
The
shares of our Common Stock are not subject to any future call or assessment and all have equal voting rights. There are no special
rights or restrictions of any nature attached to any of the shares of our Common Stock and they all rank at equal rate or “paripassu”,
or each with the other, as to all benefits, which might accrue to the holders of the shares of our Common Stock. All registered
shareholders are entitled to receive a notice of any general annual meeting to be convened.
At
any general meeting, subject to the restrictions on joint registered owners of shares of our Common Stock, on a showing of hands,
every shareholder who is present in person and entitled to vote has one vote, and on a poll every shareholder has one vote for
each share of our Common Stock of which he is the registered owner and may exercise such vote either in person or by proxy. Holders
of shares of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding
shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event,
the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors.
(2)
Preferred Stock
Our
Board of Directors is authorized to issue 1,401,925,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, from time to time, with
each such series to have such designation, relative rights, preferences or limitations as shall be stated and expressed in the
resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by the Board of Directors, subject to the limitations
prescribed by law and in accordance with the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors being expressly
vested with authority to adopt any such resolution or resolutions.
Shares
of voting or convertible preferred stock could be issued, or rights to purchase such shares could be issued, to create voting
impediments or to frustrate persons seeking to effect a takeover or otherwise gain control of our Company. The ability of the
Board to issue such additional shares of preferred stock, with rights and preferences it deems advisable, could discourage an
attempt by a party to acquire control of our Company by tender offer or other means. Such issuances could therefore deprive shareholders
of benefits that could result from such an attempt, such as the realization of a premium over the market price for their shares
in a tender offer or the temporary increase in market price that such an attempt could cause.
Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock
As
of April 14, 2016, 1,800,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”) have been designated,
of which 1,800,000 are issued and outstanding and held by five shareholders. Each share of the Series A Preferred has one vote
per share and the holder(s) of the Series A Preferred shall have the right to vote with the holders of the Company’s Common
Stock on all matters that are submitted to the Company’s stockholders. Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to a 10% preferred annual dividend on Par ($0.10 per share) non-cumulative on any dividends, whether ordinary or liquidating
that may be declared or paid by this Company. At the option of the holder of the Series A Preferred, each share of the Series
A Preferred may be converted into the Company’s common stock at any time and from time to time after March 1, 2018. The
Series A Preferred does not contain any sinking fund provisions.
Series
B Preferred Stock
As
of April 14, 2016, 1,400,000,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock have been designated, of which all are issued and outstanding
and held by one shareholder. Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred”) shall have a 1.6

the option of the holder of the Series C Preferred, each share of the Series C Preferred may be converted into the Company’s
Common Stock at a 50% discount to the average of the lowest three (3) trading prices in the ten trading days immediately prior
to the date upon which the Series C Preferred is converted.
Dividends
We
have not paid any cash dividends to our shareholders. The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our
board of directors and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic
conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future,
but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
While
there is not an established public trading market for our Common Stock, our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol
“STLK”.
The
market price of our Common Stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in our quarterly operating results,
general trends in the market and other factors, over many of which we have little or no control. In addition, broad market fluctuations,
as well as general economic, business and political conditions, may adversely affect the market for our Common Stock, regardless
of our actual or projected performance.

INDEX
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
STL
Marketing Group, Inc. & Subsidiaries
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of STL Marketing Group, Inc. & Subsidiaries (the “Company”)
as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 (restated), and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit,
and cash flows for the year ending December 31, 2015, and the related restated consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’
deficit, and cash flows for the year ending December 31, 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based
on our 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 consolidated financial statements
are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our 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
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the consolidated results of their operations and their
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As
discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the 2014 consolidated financial statements have been restated to
correct a misstatement.
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company incurred a net loss and
utilized cash flows in operations, and at December 31, 2015, had a shareholders’ deficit. These conditions raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are
also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.

Note
1 – Nature of Operations
Nature
of Operations
STL
Marketing Group, Inc., the “Company”, has several business operations. The Company’s initial focus, renewable
energy, is currently on hold due to political delays in this industry in Costa Rica. The Company has pivoted to technology, a
core competency of its senior management team. The Company has sales and marketing operations in: (1) PhoneSuite Solutions, an
IP PBX product for the hospitality industry (2) F3TCH, a patent pending technology, that virtualizes the hotel guest room telephone
to a guest’s smart phone or device.
STL
Marketing Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “our Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,”
or “STL,” was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on February 16, 1999 under the original name of
Fountain Colony Ventures, Inc. Fountain Colony Ventures, Inc. changed its name to SGT Ventures, Inc. in March 2006. In June 2006,
SGT Ventures, Inc. changed its name to Stronghold Industries, Inc. On October 30, 2007, Stronghold Industries, Inc. entered into
a share purchase and exchange agreement with Image Worldwide, Inc. The Company name was officially changed with the Secretary
of State to Image Worldwide, Inc. (“Image Worldwide”) on November 21, 2007. Image Worldwide entered into a share exchange
agreement with St. Louis Packaging Inc. and Image Worldwide Marketing, Inc., a Delaware corporation, on January 31, 2009. On November
27, 2009 the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell all of its assets to Invicta Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation.
In April 2009, the Company changed its name to STL Marketing Group, Inc. On October 15, 2012, the Company transferred ownership
to Versant I, Inc., a Panamanian company owned by the current CEO. On February 4, 2013 the Company entered into a share exchange
and merged with Versant Corporation, a Delaware company whereby Versant became the Company’s wholly owned operating subsidiary.
The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization
of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,155,951, used
cash in operations of $165,880, and at December 31, 2015, had a stockholders’ deficit of $6,047,343. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as
a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and 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.
At
December 31, 2015, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $793. Management estimates that the current funds on hand will
not be sufficient to continue operations. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of
debt and equity securities for cash to operate our business, and estimates that a significant amount of capital will be necessary
to advance the development of our projects to the point at which they will become commercially viable.

Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December
31, 2015 and 2014
No
assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory
to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations,
in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case of equity financing. The ability of
the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans, which include further implementation of its
business plan and continuing to raise funds through debt and/or equity raises.
Note
2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 expenses during the reporting period. The more significant
estimates and assumptions by management include, among others, the accrual of potential liabilities, and the assumptions used
in valuing derivatives and share-based instruments issued for services and financing. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
and cash equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets, which ranges from three to seven years. The Company evaluates property and equipment for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. The Company had no such impairments at December
31, 2015 and 2014.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible
temporary differences, 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 bases. 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 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.
Share-Based
Compensation
The
Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for
services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based
on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) whereas the value of the award is measured
on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and
vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB whereas the value of the stock compensation
is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at
the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation
charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no
future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation
charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify
as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument
is initially recorded at its fair value and is then revalued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in
the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded
as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified
in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could
be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
fair value of our financial assets and liabilities reflects our estimate of amounts that we would have received in connection
with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of our assets and liabilities, we seek to maximize
the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal
assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify
assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level
1
|
|
Quoted
market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
|
|
|
|
Level
2
|
|
Pricing
inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable
as of the reporting date.
|
|
|
|
Level
3
|
|
Pricing
inputs that are generally unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions and not corroborated by market data.
|
As
of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets included the fair value of derivative
liabilities of $3,037,500 and $2,439,998, respectively, which was based on Level 2 measurements.
The
Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable. The
carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively
short-term nature. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks
arising from these financial instruments.
Reverse
Stock Split
In
October 2014, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved an amended and restated certificate of incorporation
to affect a reverse split of shares of our common stock at a 1-for-15 ratio. The reverse split became effective in March 2015.
The par value and the authorized shares of the common and convertible preferred stock were not adjusted as a result of the reverse
split. All issued and outstanding common stock and per share amounts contained in the financial statements have been retroactively
adjusted to reflect this reverse split for all periods presented.

Net
Loss per Common Share
Basic
loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives
effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using
the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased
from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method.
At
December 31, 2015 and 2014, we excluded the outstanding securities summarized below, which entitle the holders thereof to acquire
shares of common stock as their effect would have been anti-dilutive:

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09,
Revenue from
Contracts with Customers
. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing
revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition.
ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in
the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and
cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from
costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December
15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods
therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of
the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s financial statements
and disclosures.
In
August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15,
Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability
to Continue as a Going Concern,
which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties
in the financial statements. ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability
to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain
disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU
2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record
a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months.
ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted.
A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered
into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients
available. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s financial statements and
disclosures.

Reclassification
In presenting
the Company’s consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficit for the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company presented
($232,000) of additional paid in capital –preferred stock and ($2,466,999) of discount on preferred stock. In presenting
the Company’s consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit in the accompanying consolidated financial statements,
the Company has reclassified the ($232,000) and ($2,466,999) to additional paid in capital. There was no effect on total assets,

Note
3 – Restatement of Prior Periods
For
the year ended December 31, 2014, it was determined that the Company had previously recorded $354,920 related to issuance of shares
of common stock where the par value of those shares in excess of their fair value had been recorded as an expense and not a reduction
of additional paid in capital, had previously recorded a gain of $280,158 on the extinguishment of a derivative liability related
to debt as additional paid in capital, and not recorded an expense of $84,070 for a previously recorded prepaid asset related
to professional fees of an abandoned offering. The following sets forth the significant effects of the aforementioned restatement
to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014:

In
August 2012, the Company executed a consulting agreement with a third party to provide various services. Under the terms of the
agreement, the consultant would be paid $10,000 per month for six months in the form of free trading shares. The share total is
computed as follows: earned compensation will accrue interest at 6%, and accrued compensation will be convertible into 70% of
the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the 20 days preceding any conversion. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, a balance
of $60,000 remains outstanding and at December 31, 2015, is convertible into 1,016,669,714 shares of Common Stock.
In
January 2014, the Company executed a three-month consulting agreement with a third party to provide strategic planning matters.
The consultant would be paid $15,000 per month for three months in the form of restricted common stock, using the average of the
last five trading days of the month. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, a balance of $15,000 remains outstanding and at December
31, 2015, is convertible into 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

From
2009 to 2015, the Company issued Convertible Promissory Notes (“Notes”) to various accredited investors. The Notes
bear interest ranging from 8% to 12% per annum and mature on various dates from February 2010 to September 2016. The Company is
currently in default of payment for Notes that matured in February 2010 through July 2015 in the aggregate principal amount of
$893,330.
The
Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company at the option of the holder commencing on various dates following
the issuance date of the Notes and ending on the later of the maturity date or date of full payment of principal and interest.
The principal amount of the Notes along with, at the holder’s option, any unpaid interest and penalties, are convertible
at price per share at discounts ranging from 10% to 75% of the Company’s Common Stock trading market price during a certain
time period, as defined in the agreements. Further, the conversion prices for three notes are subject to a floor such that the
conversion prices will not be less than a certain price, as defined in the agreement, with such floor prices ranging from $0.004
to $0.015 per share. In addition, the conversion prices are subject to adjustment in certain events, such as in conjunction with
any sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or consummation of a transaction
or series of related transactions in which the Company is not the surviving entity.

Notes

December
31, 2015 and 2014
As
of December 31, 2014, the balance of the Notes was $1,084,319. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued $59,000
of new unsecured convertible notes. During the year ended December 31, 2015, note holders converted $201,175 of principal and
$2,288 of accrued interest into 850,541,495 shares of the Company’s common stock. At December 31, 2015, the principal balance
of the Notes was $942,144.
As
of December 31, 2014, the debt discount related to issuance of the Notes was $106,250. During the year ended December 31, 2015,
the Company recorded debt discounts of $59,000, and recorded discount amortization of $151,098. As of December 31, 2015, debt
discount was $14,152. The remainder of the valuation discount will be amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of
the note of one year.
As
of December 31, 2013, the balance of the Notes was $882,000. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company issued $344,500
of new unsecured convertible notes, of which $314,000 were issued for cash. During the year ended December 31, 2014, note holders
converted $142,181 of principal and $9,857 of accrued interest into 33,797,238 shares of the Company’s common stock. At
December 31, 2014, the principal balance of the Notes was $1,084,319.
As of December
31, 2013, the debt discount related to issuance of the Notes was $184,312. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company
recorded debt discounts of $329,336, and recorded discount amortization of $407,398. As of December 31, 2014, debt discount was
$106,250.
The
Company determined that the conversion prices of the Notes were not a fixed amount because they were subject to an adjustment
based on the occurrence of future offerings or events. In addition, the Company determined that instruments with floor prices
ranging from $0.004 to $0.015 were de minimus and in substance not indexed to the Company’s own stock. As a result, the
Company determined that the conversion features of the Notes were not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and
characterized the fair value of the conversion features as derivative liabilities upon issuance (See Note 7).
Management
and legal counsel have reviewed previous agreements and believe, pursuant to the Stock Purchase and Share Exchange Agreement effective
as of January 31, 2009 (the “2009 Agreement”) entered into by the Company (then known as Image Worldwide, Inc., a
Colorado corporation). Image Worldwide Marketing, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of the Company (“Image Worldwide
Marketing Delaware”), and St. Louis Packaging, Inc., an Illinois corporation, that Image Worldwide Delaware should have
assumed all liabilities of the Company as of or prior to the 2009 Agreement. Management believes this amounts to $308,333 of debt
(including $265,000 of convertible debt), plus its related interest and derivatives. The Company is currently reviewing and weighing
its options and will proceed accordingly. At December 31, 2015 and 2014 this debt is included on the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
Note
7 – Derivative Liabilities
Under
authoritative guidance issued by the FASB debt instruments, which do not have fixed settlement provisions, are deemed to be derivative
instruments. The conversion feature of the Company’s convertible notes payable and liabilities payable in shares (described
in Note 5 and 6 above) did not have fixed settlement provisions because the ultimate determination of shares to be issued could
exceed current available authorized shares.
In
accordance with the FASB authoritative guidance, the conversion feature of the financial instruments was separated from the host
contract and recognized as a derivative instrument. The conversion feature of the financial instruments had been characterized
as a derivative liability and was re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement
of operations.
The
derivative liability was valued at the following dates using a probability weighted Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following
assumptions:

The
risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The expected life of the conversion feature
of the notes was based on the remaining terms of the financial instruments. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact
that the Company has not customarily paid dividends to its common stockholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends
to its common stockholders in the future.

Payable
to Tarpon Bay Partners LLC
In
2014, Tarpon Bay Partners LLC (Tarpon) assumed $519,282 of past due accounts payable of the Company from various creditors of
the Company. Tarpon then commenced an action against the Company to recover the aggregate of the past due accounts. On March 19,
2014, the Circuit Court of the Second Judicial Circuit for Leon County, Florida approved an agreement between the Company and
Tarpon, in which the Company agreed to issue shares of the Company’s common stock to Tarpon sufficient to generate proceeds
equal to the aggregate of the past due accounts. In addition, Tarpon will receive a fee of approximately 33% based on the proceeds.
The Company will record the fees as the shares are issued and the past due accounts are paid. The past due amounts assumed are
recorded as current liabilities of the Company until settled under the assignment agreement.
During
the period ended December 31, 2015, the Company did not issue any shares of common stock to Tarpon in connection with the agreement.
During the period ended December 31, 2014, the Company issued 14,692,867 shares of common stock to Tarpon valued at $246,734,

Litigations,
Claims and Assessments
The
Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However,
litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise that may harm its business.
Other than the below litigation with the Costa Rican Investment Bank, the Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings
or claims that they believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse affect on its business, financial
condition or operating results.
In
2012, the Company filed an arbitration claim with the “Centro Internacional de Conciliacion y Arbitraje” or “CICA”
alleging that Grupo Aldesa, S.A., its then investment bank, withheld $195,400 of investor funds from the Company in mid-2011 for
its own use and benefit and contrary to the executed agreement between the companies. The case claims that Aldesa received funds
from two investors and remitted 50% of those funds and keeping the balance without authorization. Additionally, the Company did
notify the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as well as, the State Attorney General of both Delaware and Colorado in mid-2012.
Grupo Aldesa appealed to the Sala Primera de la Corte Suprema (the Supreme Court over these types of legal matters) in October
of 2012 claiming CICA did not have subject matter jurisdiction or the right to adjudicate the case. In a strongly worded opinion
Sala Primera rejected Aldesa’s appeal in the Company’s favor. CICA has received the official notice from the Sala
Primera regarding the opinion and has taken up the case from where we were before the appeal.
The
CICA process has reached its final legal stage and we are awaiting the final judgment.
