Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans
We do not expect to adopt an equity incentive plan during the next 12 months. When we adopt an equity incentive plan, the purposes of the proposed equity incentive plan are to attract and retain qualified persons upon whom our sustained progress, growth and profitability depend, to motivate these persons to achieve long-term company goals and to more closely align these persons' interests with those of our other shareholders by providing them with a proprietary interest in our growth and performance. Our executive officers will be eligible to participate in the plan. We have not determined the amount of shares of our common stock to be reserved for issuance under the proposed equity incentive plan.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Registrant and Affiliated Purchasers
We have not repurchased any shares of our common stock during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Overview
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Nuvel DE, engages in the business of designing, developing and selling a family of proxy and other appliances, and related software and services that secure, accelerate and optimize the delivery of business applications, Web content and other information to distributed users over a Wide Area Network (“WAN”), or across an enterprise’s gateway to the public Internet (also known as the Web). Our products provide our end user customers with information about the applications and Web traffic running on their networks, including the ability to discover, classify, manage
and control communications between users and applications across internal networks, the WAN and the Internet. Our products are also designed to accelerate and optimize the performance of our end users’ business applications and content, whether used internally or hosted by external providers. We have also developed and designed personal safety applications that are accessible via various mobile and tablet platforms.
Our primary activities have been the design and development of our products, negotiating strategic alliances and other agreements and raising capital. We have not commenced our principal operations, nor have we generated any material revenues.
Since inception, we have incurred substantial losses. As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, our accumulated deficit was $10,561,878, $10,569,721 and $6,970,260, respectively, our stockholders’ deficiency was $7,981,799, $8,057,642 and $5,077,380, respectively, and our working capital deficiency was $7,533,918, $7,900,839 and $5,077,380, respectively. We have not yet generated revenues and our losses have principally been operating expenses incurred in design, development, marketing and promotional activities in order to commercialize our products. We expect to continue to incur additional costs for operating and marketing activities over at least the next year.
Based upon our working capital deficiency as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 and the lack of any revenues, we require equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations. The Company's primary source of operating funds since inception has been note financings. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company secured additional debt financing in the form of Notes Payable aggregating $382,750 and has converted notes payable and convertible notes payable totaling $3,260,000 into preferred stock (see Note 10). The Company expects that its current cash on hand will fund its operations only through November 2014. The Company intends to raise additional capital through private debt and equity investors. The Company needs to raise additional capital in order to be able to accomplish its business plan objectives. The Company is continuing its efforts to secure additional funds through debt or equity instruments due to the impending lack of funds. Management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing based on its limited history of raising funds; however, no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to do so. There is no assurance that any funds it raises will be sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful, the Company may need to curtail or cease its operations and implement a plan to extend payables or reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Availability of Additional Funds” below.
On October 24, 2014, the Company entered into a letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) with OrangeHook, Inc., (“Orange Hook”) a Minnesota corporation. Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, The Company and OrangeHook will merge or combine their assets, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the “Transaction”). The anticipated closing date is to be on or before December 31, 2014 (“the Closing”). As a result of the intended business combination, the Company will acquire all of the equity or assets of OrangeHook subject to the terms of the Letter of Intent. The Company will issue common stock to the shareholders of OrangeHook such that after the Transaction (and prior to any financing at the time of the Transaction), OrangeHook shareholders will own approximately 85% of the Company and the pre-Transaction Nuvel shareholders will own approximately 15% of the Company, which is subject to adjustment by negotiation of the parties. Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, OrangeHook provided $60,000 as bridge financing to the Company, in the form of an unsecured loan to assist the Company in completing the necessary filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) such that it will be current in its reporting. Prior to the Transaction, OrangeHook anticipates raising up to an additional $2 million, approximately $250,000 of which will be used to loan monies to the Company for its operations and which will convert into equity at closing of the Transaction. On or about the same day as the Transaction, the Company and OrangeHook anticipate initiating an equity raise of up to $5 million of financing for the combined companies. Conditions to Closing include that the Company be current in its SEC reports, that each of the financings set forth in the Letter of Intent have occurred and that any necessary shareholder approval has been obtained. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be successful.

From January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2012, we raised a total of $1,045,000 from the issuance of notes payable and $2,295,000 from the issuance of convertible notes (of which $255,000 was repaid). During the year ended December 31, 2012, we raised a total of $385,000 from the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, we secured additional debt financing of $382,750.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
We experienced negative cash flow from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 in the amounts of $25,275, $1,471,251 and $1,803,291, respectively.
The cash used in operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2013 was primarily due to cash used to fund operations of the Company.
The cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 was due to cash used to fund a net loss of $3,599,461, adjusted for non-cash expenses related to amortization of debt discount, amortization of deferred financing costs, stock based compensation and the change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the aggregate amount of $1,068,718, as well as a change in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and prepaid expenses of $1,059,492.
The cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 was due to cash used to fund a net loss of $5,605,531, adjusted for non-cash expenses related to amortization of debt discount, amortization of deferred financing costs, stock based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liabilities and non-cash merger costs in the aggregate amount of $3,020,163, as well as a change in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and prepaid expenses of $782,077.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $24,834, resulting from advances from related parties.
Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $1,505,460 primarily from the issuance of notes payable, convertible notes and preferred stock, as well as related party advances.
Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $1,828,000 primarily from the issuance of notes payable and convertible notes.
Availability of Additional Funds
Based upon our working capital deficiency as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 and the lack of any revenues, we require equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations. The Company's primary source of operating funds since inception has been note financings. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company secured additional debt financing in the form of Notes Payable aggregating $382,750 and has converted notes payable and convertible notes payable totaling $3,260,000 into preferred stock. The Company expects that its current cash on hand will fund its operations only through November 2014. The Company intends to raise additional capital through private debt and equity investors. The Company needs to raise additional capital in order to be able to accomplish its business plan objectives. The Company is continuing its efforts to secure additional funds through debt or equity instruments due to the impending lack of funds. Management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing based on its limited history of raising funds; however, no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to do so. There is no assurance that any funds it raises will be sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful, the Company may need to curtail or cease its operations and implement a plan to extend payables or reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations.
We may be unable to raise sufficient additional capital when we need it or to raise capital on favorable terms. Debt financing may require us to pledge certain assets and enter into covenants that could restrict certain business activities or our ability to incur further indebtedness, and may contain other terms that are not favorable to our stockholders or us. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or to obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms.
These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our significant estimates and assumptions include amortization, the fair value of our stock, debt discount, warrant liabilities, and the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
.
Amendments in this Update create Topic 606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers,
and supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605,
Revenue Recognition,
including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendments supersede the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35,
Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts,
and create new Subtopic 340-40,
Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers.
In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2011-230—Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2011–250—Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Codification Amendments, both of which have been deleted. Accounting Standards Update 2014-09. The amendments in this Update are effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period.
The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014-09 on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-10,
Development Stage Entities
.
The amendments in this Update remove the definition of a development stage entity from Topic 915, thereby removing the distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder’s equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage.
The amendments also clarify that the guidance in Topic 275, Risks and Uncertainties, is applicable to entities that have not commenced planned principal operations. Finally, the amendments also remove paragraph 810-10-15-16, which states that a development stage entity does not meet the condition in paragraph 810-10-15-14(a) to be a variable interest entity (VIE) if (1) the entity can demonstrate that the equity invested in the legal entity is sufficient to permit it to finance the activities it is currently engaged in and (2) the entity’s governing documents and contractual arrangements allow additional equity investments. Under the amendments, all entities within the scope of the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation—Overall, would be required to evaluate whether the total equity investment at risk is sufficient using the guidance provided in paragraphs 810-10-25-45 through 25-47, which requires both qualitative and quantitative evaluations.
This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2013-320—Development Stage Entities (Topic 915), which has been deleted.
The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein, and early adoption is required. The Company has decided to early adopt the ASU 2014-10 effective as of January 1, 2013.
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-11,
Transfers and Servicing
.
The amendments in this Update require that repurchase-to-maturity transactions be accounted for as secured borrowings consistent with the accounting for other repurchase agreements. In addition, the amendments require separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty (a repurchase financing), which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement. The amendments require an entity to disclose information about transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements, in which the transferor retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial asset throughout the term of the transaction. In addition the amendments require disclosure of the types of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions and the tenor of those transactions.
This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2013-10—Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860), which has been deleted.
The accounting changes in this Update are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. ASU 2014-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-12,

Presentation of Financial Statements- Going Concern.
The Update provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued.

None.
New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On February 21, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company ratified the appointment of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2010. Marcum is located at 750 Third Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10017.
During the Company's previous fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and through February 21, 2012, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company's behalf consulted with Marcum regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. Prior to the Share Exchange Transaction, Nuvel DE had been audited by Marcum.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we are required to carry out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Based on the Company’s evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level such that the information relating to us and our consolidated subsidiary required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. Due to this ineffectiveness and lack of resources with respect to financial reporting, the Company has had a lack of timely SEC filings and has at times had difficulties with regard to the documentation required to timely account for and disclose certain transactions and to support the complexity of its financial reporting.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f)) includes those policies and procedures that: (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Internal control over reporting, because of its inherent limitations, may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness for future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for each of the quarterly periods therein, we had identified certain matters that constituted a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. Specifically, we have limited segregation of duties within our accounting and financial reporting functions. Segregation of duties within our company is limited due to limited financial resources and the small number of employees that are assigned to positions that involve the processing of financial information. We have taken steps to address this matter, including the retaining an outside accounting consulting firm to assist with the accounting reporting in May 2014. We believe that we have made some progress towards remediating this weakness; however, we must still complete the process of design-specific control procedures and testing them for effectiveness before we can report that this weakness has been fully remediated. Although we believe that these steps have enabled us to improve our internal controls, additional time is still required to fully document our systems, implement control procedures and test their operating effectiveness before we can definitively conclude that we have remediated our material weakness.
This annual report also does not contain an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting and since the rules for smaller reporting companies do not require such attestation report.
Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
On November 30, 2012, Jay Elliot resigned from his positions as the Company’s CEO and President but remained as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. On March 31, 2013, Jorge Fernandez, our former Chief Financial Officer, resigned from all his positions in the Company. As discussed above, the Company hired an outside accounting consulting firm to assist with the accounting reporting. Except for the foregoing, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during the fourth quarter of our last fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
There exists no information required to be disclosed by us in a report on Form 8-K during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013, but not reported.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Business Organization, Nature of Operations and Reverse Recapitalization
Nuvel Holdings, Inc. is a Florida corporation incorporated on October 19, 2009. Nuvel Holdings, Inc. was previously known as Harmony Metals, Inc. prior to its name change effective on April 10, 2012. On March 20, 2012, Harmony Metals, Inc. acquired the outstanding shares of HRMY Sub, Inc., a newly formed Florida corporation. On April 10, 2012, Harmony Metals, Inc. merged HRMY Sub, Inc. into itself and changed its name to Nuvel Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") solely to effect a name change.
On December 30, 2011, the Company, certain stockholders of the Company (the “Company Stockholders”), Nuvel, Inc., a Delaware Company, (“Nuvel DE”) and all of the stockholders of Nuvel DE (the “Nuvel DE Stockholders”) entered into and consummated transactions pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), whereby (i) the Company issued to the Nuvel DE Stockholders an aggregate of 7,508,333 shares of its common stock, par value $.001 (the “Common Stock”), in exchange for an aggregate of 10,000 shares of common stock of Nuvel DE held by the Nuvel DE Stockholders, and (ii) Nuvel DE acquired from the Company Stockholders a total of 6,580,000 shares of Common Stock for a total purchase price of $350,000. In connection with the Share Exchange Transaction, a total of 8,082,500 shares of Common Stock, including 6,580,000 shares acquired by Nuvel DE, were canceled. In connection with the Share Exchange, the Company received a loan from an investor and issued that investor and its affiliate an aggregate of 1,300,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Following the close of the Share Exchange Agreement, Harmony succeeded to the business of Nuvel DE as its sole line of business. On February 21, 2012, the Share Exchange Agreement was corrected to issue an additional 2,491,667 shares of Common Stock to the Nuvel DE Stockholders on a pro rata basis and 439,706 shares of Common Stock to the investor and its affiliate (see Note 9). As a result, after giving effect to the foregoing, there were a total of 11,764,706 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, of which 85% were held by the Nuvel DE Stockholders. The additional share issuance on February 21, 2012 was incorporated into the retroactive effect of the recapitalization in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As a result of the Share Exchange Transaction, Nuvel DE became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the officers of Nuvel DE became officers of the Company. The transaction was being accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, whereby Nuvel DE is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The financial statements set forth in this report for all periods prior to the reverse recapitalization are the historical financial statements of Nuvel DE, and have been retroactively restated to give effect to the Share Exchange Transaction.
The Company previously conducted its operations through a sole operating subsidiary, Harmony Metals Design, Inc., a Florida corporation, which was incorporated on June 17, 2010. On February 1, 2012, the Company assigned to Sahej Holdings, Inc. all of the outstanding shares of Harmony Metals Design, Inc. that it owned pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Harmony Metals Design, Inc. therefore ceased to be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Nuvel DE designs, develops and markets Wide Area Network Acceleration (WANa) Solutions that are built for the purpose of accelerating and optimizing the flow of information over the Internet. The Company’s products are able to be deployed by customers throughout their network infrastructures to improve the performance of their networks and reduce network costs, while enhancing network security.
The Company’s primary activities since inception, have been the design and development of its products, negotiating strategic alliances and other agreements, and raising capital. The Company had not commenced its principal operations, nor had it generated any material revenues from its operations through December 31, 2013.
Note 2. Going Concern and Management Plans
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $7,533,918 and stockholders’ deficiency of $7,981,799. The Company has not generated any material revenues and incurred net losses since inception. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's primary source of operating funds since inception has been note financings. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company secured additional debt financing in the form of Notes Payable aggregating $382,750 and has converted notes payable and convertible notes payable totaling $3,260,000 into preferred stock (see Note 10). The Company expects that its current cash on hand will fund its operations only through November 2014. The Company intends to raise additional capital through private debt and equity investors. The Company needs to raise additional capital in order to be able to accomplish its business plan objectives. The Company is continuing its efforts to secure additional funds through debt or equity instruments due to the impending lack of funds. Management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing based on its
limited history of raising funds; however, no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to do so. There is no assurance that any funds it raises will be sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful, the Company may need to curtail or cease its operations and implement a plan to extend payables or reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.
On October 24, 2014, the Company entered into a letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) with OrangeHook, Inc., (“Orange Hook”) a Minnesota corporation. Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, the Company and OrangeHook will merge or combine their assets, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the “Transaction”). The anticipated closing date is to be on or before December 31, 2014 (“the Closing”). As a result of the intended business combination, the Company will acquire all of the equity or assets of OrangeHook subject to the terms of the Letter of Intent. The Company will issue common stock to the shareholders of OrangeHook such that after the Transaction (and prior to any financing at the time of the Transaction), OrangeHook shareholders will own approximately 85% of the Company and the pre-Transaction Nuvel shareholders will own approximately 15% of the Company, which is subject to adjustment by negotiation of the parties. Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, OrangeHook provided $60,000 as bridge financing to the Company, in the form of an unsecured loan to assist the Company in completing the necessary filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) such that it will be current in its reporting. Conditions to Closing include that the Company be current in its SEC reports, that each of the financings set forth in the Letter of Intent have occurred and that any necessary shareholder approval has been obtained. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be successful.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nuvel, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include amortization, the fair value of our stock, debt discount, derivative liabilities, and the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparison purposes to conform to the presentation of the current period consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash accounts at financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At times, the Company has deposits in excess of federally insured limits.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. Appropriate allowances for returns and discounts are recorded concurrent with revenue recognition.
Revenue has been de minimus to date. All of the revenue earned by the Company consisted of revenue pertaining to the Company’s mobile application product. In March 2013, due to a lack of funding, the Company could no longer support the mobile application product, and the Company did not generate any revenues subsequent to March 2013.
Advertising
Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred advertising costs of $0, $5,502 and $78,920, respectively.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $51,625, $258,383 and $345,455, respectively.
Capitalized Software Costs
Software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility through general release of the software products are capitalized. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the economic lives of the related products which are generally three years. As of December 31, 2013, the Company's Wide Area Network ("WAN") product did not reach technological feasibility and, therefore, no costs associated with its development were capitalized. The Company’s mobile application product reached technological feasibility in October 2011. The Company had recorded capitalized software costs aggregating $68,560 as of December 31, 2012. In March 2013, due to a lack of funding, the Company could no longer support the mobile application product. The Company wrote off the entire balance of its capitalized costs, which was recorded as Loss on write-off of capitalized software costs in the statement of operations.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included or excluded in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are determined of the basis of the difference between the tax basis or assets or liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts ("temporary differences") at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
The Company classifies interest expense and any related penalties related to income tax uncertainties as a component of income tax expense. No interest or penalties have been recognized as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes basic net income (loss) per share by dividing net loss per share available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable. The computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 excludes potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:

Preferred Stock
Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. The Company classifies conditionally redeemable preferred shares, which includes preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control, as temporary equity. At all other times, the Company classifies its preferred shares in stockholders’ equity. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, since the Company's preferred shares do not feature any redemption within the holders' control or conditional redemption features not within the Company's control, all issuances of preferred stock are presented as a component of consolidated stockholders’ deficiency.
Convertible Instruments
Applicable Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria includes circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as that term is described under applicable GAAP.
For instruments in which the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.
Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) provide the Company with a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in the Company’s own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) providing that such contracts are indexed to the Company's own stock. The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.
The Company’s free standing derivatives consist of warrants issued in connection with convertible note financing arrangements and in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement. The Company evaluated the common stock purchase warrants to assess their proper classification in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 using the applicable classification criteria enumerated under GAAP.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Awards granted to directors are treated on the same basis as awards granted to employees.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the Company’s short term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuance of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.
The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Financial liabilities as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

The derivative conversion features and warrant liabilities are measured at fair value using a compound option model that includes characteristics of both a binomial lattice and the Black-Scholes formula and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Level 3 Valuation Techniques
Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the warrant liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.
The derivative liabilities are measured at fair value using a compound option model that includes characteristics of both a binomial lattice and Black-Scholes formula and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
A significant decrease in the volatility or a significant increase in the Company’s stock price, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Changes in the values of the derivative liabilities are recorded in Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities within Other Expense on the Company’s consolidated Statements of Operations.
For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
.
Amendments in this Update create Topic 606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers,
and supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605,
Revenue Recognition,
including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendments supersede the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35,
Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts,
and create new Subtopic 340-40,
Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers.
In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2011-230—Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2011–250—Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Codification Amendments, both of which have been deleted. Accounting Standards Update 2014-09. The amendments in this Update are effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period.
The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014-09 on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-10,
Development Stage Entities
.
The amendments in this Update remove the definition of a development stage entity from Topic 915, thereby removing the distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder’s equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage.
The amendments also clarify that the guidance in Topic 275, Risks and Uncertainties, is applicable to entities that have not commenced planned principal operations. Finally, the amendments also remove paragraph 810-10-15-16, which states that a development stage entity does not meet the condition in paragraph 810-10-15-14(a) to be a variable interest entity (VIE) if (1) the entity can demonstrate that the equity invested in the legal entity is sufficient to permit it to finance the activities it is currently engaged in and (2) the entity’s governing documents and contractual arrangements allow additional equity investments. Under the amendments, all entities within the scope of the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation—Overall, would be required to evaluate whether the total equity investment at risk is sufficient using the guidance provided in paragraphs 810-10-25-45 through 25-47, which requires both qualitative and quantitative evaluations.
This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2013-320—Development Stage Entities (Topic 915), which has been deleted.
The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein, and early adoption is required. The Company has decided to early adopt the ASU 2014-10 as of January 1, 2013.
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-12,
Compensation- Stock Compensation
.
The amendments in this update apply to reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target can be achieved after the requisite service period. This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update EITF-13D--Compensation--Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which has been deleted.
The proposed amendments would apply to reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period.
This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update EITF-13D—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which has been deleted.
The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014-12 on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15,
Presentation of Financial Statements- Going Concern.
The Update provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2013-300—Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Going Concern Presumption, which has been deleted. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014-15 on the consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events or transactions occurring through the date on which the financial statements were issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed
Note 4. Secured Convertible Promissory Notes
Old Convertible Notes
For the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to June 30, 2011, the Company issued certain Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Old Convertible Notes”) aggregating $1,700,000, of which $675,000 were issued during the year ended December 31, 2011. The Old Convertible Notes were collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company and were repayable six months from the date of issuance of the respective notes; however, the Company had the right to extend the maturity date for an additional two months. The Old Convertible Notes define a “Qualified Financing” as the sale for cash by the Company of securities generating aggregate gross proceeds of at least $2,000,000 (including the amounts due under the Old Convertible Notes that are converted into such securities). In the event of a Qualified Financing (as defined), the holder of the Old Convertible Notes would be able to elect to convert the principal and unpaid interest into common stock at a 10% discount of the Qualified Financing. The Company evaluated the conversion option in this instrument and determined that the instrument is contingently convertible since the Old Convertible Notes cannot be converted to equity until a Qualified Financing (as defined) has occurred.
During the initial six month period of the Old Convertible Notes, the rate of interest was 12% per annum. In the event that the Company exercises the extension period, the interest rate would retroactively increase to 15% per annum. Once the extension period has passed, the interest rate would be retroactively increased to 20% per annum. The Company considered provisions of ASC 470 “Debt” with respect to its increasing-rate debt and concluded that the overall effect was deemed de minimis to the consolidated financial statements.
In connection with the Old Convertible Notes, for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to June 30, 2011, the noteholders also received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 850,000 shares of common stock (the “Old Warrants”), of which 512,500 warrants were issued from January 20, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2010 and 337,500 warrants were issued during the year ended December 31, 2011. The Old Warrants had an initial exercise price equal to 90% of the per share price paid by investors in a Qualified Financing (as defined). Per the terms of the Old Warrants, such exercise price was reduced to $1.50 per share since the Qualified Financing (as defined) did not occur within three months of the issuance of the warrant. The Old Warrants expire the earlier of seven years from the grant date or the closing of a sale or merger transaction (as defined).
In accordance with ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, the Company determined that the common stock purchase warrants, as originally issued, did not contain fixed settlement provisions because the exercise price was subject to the completion of a Qualified Financing transaction. As such, the Company was required to record the Old Warrants as liabilities and mark to market the Old Warrants to fair value each reporting period through July 5, 2011, at which time these warrants were surrendered (see “New Convertible Notes” below).
The fair value of the Old Warrants on the respective issuance dates was calculated using a compound option model that includes characteristics of both a binomial lattice and the Black-Scholes formula valued with the following weighted average assumptions:

The aggregate fair value of $123,500 was applied to the principal amount of the Old Convertible Notes to determine the debt discount. Accordingly, the Company allocated $123,500 of the offering proceeds to the fair value of the warrants on their respective dates of issuance and recorded them as liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Such amount was amortized over the terms of the respective notes using the effective interest method. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized $62,208 in amortization of the deferred debt discount relating to the Old Convertible Notes.
New Convertible Notes
On July 5, 2011, the outstanding Old Convertible Notes aggregating $1,700,000 were exchanged into new Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “New Convertible Notes”). From the dates of issuance of the Old Convertible Notes to July 5, 2011, since the Qualified Financing (as defined in the Convertible Notes) did not occur, the Old Convertible Notes were not convertible into common stock. The New Convertible Notes were repayable six months from the date of issuance of the respective notes; however, the Company had the right to extend the maturity date for an additional two months. During the initial six month period of the notes, the rate of interest was 12% per annum. In the event that the Company exercised the extension period, the interest rate would retroactively increase to 15% per annum. Once the extension period had passed, the interest rate would be retroactively increased to 22% per annum.
In the event a Qualified Financing (as defined) was consummated by December 31, 2011, the noteholder shall have the option to (a) convert the principal amount of the New Convertible Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon (the “Conversion Amount”), into the same securities purchased by investors in the Qualified Financing, including any warrants issued in connection therewith, at the same terms received by such investors, at a conversion price equal to the lower of (1) 75% of the per share price paid by the investors in the Qualified Financing and (2) a price per share which represents a $7,000,000 valuation; or (b) tender their notes to the Company for immediate repayment of principal and accrued and unpaid interest. If the Qualified Financing does not occur by December 31, 2011, then the Conversion Price will be reduced to the lower of (1) 50% of the per share price paid by the investors in any equity related offering, or (2) a price per share which represents a $4,000,000 pre-offering valuation. Through December 30, 2011 (see “Third Amendment” below), the Company evaluated the conversion option in this instrument and determined that the instrument is contingently convertible since the New Convertible Notes could not be converted to equity, as a Qualified Financing (as defined) did not occur.
On July 5, 2011, in connection with the conversion of the Old Convertible Notes into the New Convertible Notes, the 850,000 Old Warrants were surrendered to the Company and the investors received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,020,000 of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share (as adjusted) and expiring the earlier of seven years from the grant date or the closing of a sale or merger transaction (as defined), (the “New Warrants”). The Company accelerated the amortization of the remaining debt discount totaling $23,187 upon surrender of the Old Warrants. In addition, on July 5, 2011, the Company marked to market the Old Warrants and reclassified the resulting warrant liability aggregating $102,000 to stockholders’ deficiency. From July 5, 2011 through December 30, 2011, the Company issued an additional $1,000,000 in New Convertible Notes. These noteholders received an aggregate of 600,000 New Warrants.
The Company determined that the New Warrants, as originally issued, did not contain fixed settlement provisions because the exercise price was subject to a Qualified Financing. As such, the Company was required to record the New Warrants as liabilities and mark to market all such derivatives to fair value each reporting period through December 30, 2011, at which time these warrants were surrendered (see “Third Amendment” below).
The aggregate fair value of $261,600 was applied to the principal amount of the New Convertible Notes to determine the debt discount. Accordingly, the Company allocated $261,600 of the offering proceeds to the fair value of the warrants on their respective dates of issuance and recorded them as liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Such amount is being amortized over the terms of the respective notes using the effective interest method.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized $261,600 in amortization of the deferred debt discount relating to the New Convertible Notes.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company marked these warrants to fair value and recorded a charge of $202,900 relating to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities.
In connection with the Old Convertible Notes and the New Convertible Notes, the Company incurred placement agent fees of $471,000, of which $237,000 were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2011, which were amortized as deferred financing costs on a straight-line basis over the stated term of the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2011, amortization of deferred financing costs relating to the Old Convertible Notes and the New Convertible Notes totaled $248,250.
Third Amendment
On December 30, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement amending the New Convertible Notes (the “Third Amendment”). Prior to this date, a majority of the New Convertible Notes were past maturity and in default. Under the Third Amendment, each Investor waived the defaults and agreed to extend the Maturity Date of its Note until the later of (i) two (2) months from the Maturity Date of each individual Investor’s Note (after giving effect to any extension options exercised by the Company) or February 28, 2012 to grant the Company additional time necessary to complete the Qualified Financing. In the event a Qualified Financing (as defined) is consummated by the Company, the noteholder shall have the option to (a) convert the principal amount of the New Convertible Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, into the same securities purchased by investors in the Qualified Financing. The noteholder shall also be entitled to receive warrants issued in connection therewith, with the same terms received by such investors at a conversion price equal to the lower of (x) the price per share of the Qualified Securities and (y) $0.54 per share (the “Conversion Price”), or (b) tender their notes to the Company for immediate repayment of principal and accrued and unpaid interest. A Qualified Financing is defined as the sale for cash by the Company or any company with which it completes a reverse merger or any business combination of debt or equity securities generating aggregate gross proceeds of at least $1,500,000. As of December 31, 2011, since a Qualified Financing had not occurred, the notes were not convertible.
On December 30, 2011, in connection with the conversion of the New Convertible Notes into the Third Amendment Convertible Notes, an aggregate of 1,620,000 New Warrants were surrendered to the Company and the investors received an aggregate of 2,862,716 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock exercisable at $0.54 per share. These warrants expire on the earlier of seven years from the grant date or the closing of a sale or merger transaction (as defined) (the “Third Amendment Warrants”). The Company accelerated the amortization of the remaining debt discount totaling $98,400 upon surrender of the New Warrants. In addition, on December 30, 2011, the Company marked to market the New Warrants and reclassified the resulting warrant liability aggregating $486,000 to stockholders’ deficiency.
The Company determined that the Third Amendment Warrants did not contain fixed settlement provisions because the exercise price can be adjusted based on new issuances. As such, the Company was required to record the Third Amendment Warrants as liabilities and mark to market all such derivatives to fair value each reporting period through December 31, 2013.
The aggregate fair value of $1,316,849 was applied to the principal amount of the New Convertible Notes under the Third Amendment to determine the debt discount. Accordingly, the Company allocated $1,316,849 of the fair value of the warrants on December 30, 2011 and recorded the warrants as derivative liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Such amount was amortized over the terms of the notes using the effective interest method.

In January 2012, the Company issued convertible notes payable under the terms of the Third Amendment aggregating $120,000. The note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum. The Company evaluated the conversion option in these instruments and determined that the instruments are contingently convertible since the Third Amendment notes could not be converted to equity, as a Qualified Financing (as defined above) did not occur.
In connection with the Third Amendment convertible notes payable issued in January 2012, the Company issued these note holders an aggregate of 120,000 warrants to purchase common stock with an exercise price of $0.54. These Third Amendment warrants expire on the earlier of seven years from the grant date or the closing of a sale or merger transaction (as defined). The Company determined that the Third Amendment Warrants did not contain fixed settlement provisions because the exercise price can be adjusted based on new issuances. As such, the Company was required to record the Third Amendment Warrants as liabilities and mark to market all such derivatives to fair value each reporting period through December 31, 2013. The aggregate grant date fair value of $56,400 was applied to the principal amount of the convertible notes payable to determine the debt discount. Accordingly, the Company allocated $56,400 of the offering proceeds to the fair value of the warrants on their respective dates of issuance and recorded them as liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Such debt discount was amortized through May 2012, when the notes matured.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized $1,373,249 in amortization of the debt discount relating these Third Amendment convertible notes payable.
The fair value of the warrants was calculated on the issuance date using a compound option model that includes characteristics of both a binomial lattice and the Black-Scholes formula valued with the following weighted average assumptions:

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company marked the Third Amendment warrants to fair value and recorded gains of $585,639 and $381,073, respectively relating to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities issued in connection with the Third Amendment convertible notes.
In November 2012, the Company obtained extensions from certain convertible notes payable holders to extend the maturity date of their notes as the notes were in default. The holders of convertible notes payable in the aggregate amounts of $728,000 and $1,142,000 extended the due date of their notes to December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company received waivers from the noteholders for all of the convertible notes payable. The holders of the respective notes agreed to waive all prior events of default (as defined in the respective agreements). If the waivers had not been obtained, the interest rate would have been retroactively increased to 22% per annum.
In connection with the note maturity extensions, the Company issued warrants to purchase 187,000 shares of common stock at a fixed exercise price of $0.70 per share. The aggregate grant date fair value of $61,764 was applied to the principal amount of the notes to determine the debt discount. Accordingly, the Company allocated $61,764 of the fair value of the warrants and recorded the warrants as a debt discount in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Such amount will be amortized over the terms of the note maturity extension period using the effective interest method. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized $37,058 and $24,706, respectively, in amortization of the debt discount relating to the note maturity extensions.The fair value of warrants on the issuance dates was calculated using a Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions:

November 2012 Notes
On November 21, 2012, the Company entered into the Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) of Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “November 2012 Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000. The November 2012 Notes bear interest at 10% per annum and mature on May 21, 2014. As noted in Note 10, in April 2014, the maturity date of the November 2012 Notes was extended to April 8, 2015, and accordingly, such notes were reclassified on the accompanying balance sheet as non-current as of December 31, 2013. The November 2012 Notes are collateralized by all of the assets of the Company, as the holder of the November 2012 Notes has a first priority security interest, a lien upon and right of set-off against all of the Company’s assets.
The November 2012 Notes have a conversion price of $0.54 per share, subject to downward adjustment to 80% of the average closing stock price for the 5 previous days if that average closing price is less than the conversion price. The November 2012 Notes also contain a provision to lower the exercise price to any subsequent common stock issuance at a lower price, if any convertible debt subsequently issued has a lower conversion price or if any options or warrants have lower exercise prices. The Company determined that the conversion feature of the November 2012 Notes did not contain fixed settlement provisions because the conversion price can be adjusted based on new issuances, and accordingly, the Company recorded the note conversion feature as a liability and mark to market the derivative to fair value each reporting period.
The aggregate fair value of the conversion option of $131,481 was applied to the principal amount of the November 2012 Notes to determine the debt discount. Accordingly, the Company allocated $131,481 of the offering proceeds to the fair value of the note conversion feature on the date of issuance and recorded it as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Such amount was being amortized over the terms of the November 2012 Notes using the effective interest method. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized $87,660 and $9,740, respectively, in amortization of the debt discount relating to the November 2012 Notes.
The fair value of the conversion feature of the November 2012 Notes on the issuance date was calculated using a compound option model that includes characteristics of both a binomial lattice and the Black-Scholes formula valued with the following weighted average assumptions:

The note holders also received five year warrants to purchase 462,963 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.70 per share “November 2012 Warrants.” The warrants contain a provision to lower the exercise price to any subsequent common stock issuance at a lower price, if any convertible debt subsequently issued has a lower conversion price or if any options or warrants have lower exercise prices. The Company determined that the warrants did not contain fixed settlement provisions and the Company was required to record the warrants as liabilities and mark to market all such derivatives to fair value each reporting period.
The aggregate fair value of $141,667 was applied to the principal amount of the November 2012 Notes to determine the debt discount. Accordingly, the Company allocated $141,667 of the fair value of the warrants and recorded the warrants as derivative liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company marked the November 2012 warrants to fair value and recorded a gain of $114,815 and $1,389, respectively, relating to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities issued in connection with the November 2012 notes.
In connection with the sale of the November 2012 Notes and warrants, the Company paid to the investor and its designee a due diligence fee in cash equal to 4% of the gross proceeds of the offering and issued to the investor’s designee an unsecured note substantially in the same form as the November 2012 Notes in the principal amount of $20,000. The grant date fair value of the note conversion feature was $5,037 and was applied to the principal amount of the note to determine the debt discount. Accordingly, the Company allocated $5,037 of the note conversion feature on the date of issuance and recorded it as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Such amount is being amortized over the terms of the respective note using the effective interest method. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized $3,360 and $373, respectively, in amortization of the debt discount relating to this note.
In connection with the Third Amendment Notes and the November 2012 Notes, the Company incurred placement agent fees in 2012 of $83,000 which were amortized as deferred financing costs on a straight-line basis over the stated term of the respective loans.

Note 5. Notes Payable
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued certain notes payable totaling $545,000 and repaid $155,000. The notes bear interest between 0% and 12% per annum (weighted average of 6.25% per annum). The Company calculated the imputed interest associated with non-interest bearing notes and the resulting expense was deemed de minimis to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. The outstanding notes payable totaling $175,000 matured on December 31, 2011. These notes have not yet been repaid.
On December 30, 2011, the Company extended the terms of certain notes payable aggregating $250,000 which were either at or near maturity. In connection with the extension, the Company issued these note holders an aggregate of 205,000 warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $0.54. These warrants expire on the earlier of seven years from the grant date or the closing of a sale or merger transaction (as defined). The aggregate grant date fair value of $94,300 was applied to the principal amount of the notes payable to determine the debt discount. Accordingly, the Company allocated $94,300 of the offering proceeds to the fair value of the warrants on their respective dates of issuance and recorded them as liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized $80,500 and $13,800, respectively, in amortization of the debt discount relating to the notes payable.
The Company determined that the warrants did not contain fixed settlement provisions because the exercise price can be adjusted based on new issuances. As such, the Company was required to record the warrants as liabilities and mark to market all such derivatives to fair value each reporting period through December 31, 2013.

In connection with the Share Exchange (see Note 1), in December 2011 the Company received a loan from an investor in the aggregate amount of $390,000. The note bears interest of 8% per annum and matured on December 31, 2012.
During the first quarter of 2012, the Company issued certain notes payable aggregating $100,000. The notes bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum and matured on March 7, 2012. In connection with these notes payable, the Company issued the note holders an aggregate of 70,000 warrants to purchase common stock with an exercise price of $0.54. The Company determined that the warrants did not contain fixed settlement provisions and the Company was required to record the warrants as liabilities and mark to market all such derivatives to fair value each reporting period. These warrants expire on the earlier of seven years from the grant date or the closing of a sale or merger transaction (as defined). The aggregate grant date fair value of $32,200 was applied to the principal amount of the notes payable to determine the debt discount. Accordingly, the Company allocated $32,200 of the offering proceeds to the fair value of the warrants on their respective dates of issuance and recorded them as liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Such amount was amortized over the terms of the notes using the effective interest method. Such debt discount was being amortized through May 2012 when the notes matured. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized $32,200 in amortization of the debt discount relating to the notes payable.
The Company determined that the warrants did not contain fixed settlement provisions because the exercise price can be adjusted based on new issuances. As such, the Company was required to record the warrants as liabilities and mark to market all such derivatives to fair value each reporting period through December 31, 2013.

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company marked these warrants to fair value and recorded a gain of $481,928 and $276,890, respectively, relating to the change in fair value of warrants issued in connection with notes payable.
From July to October of 2012, the Company issued certain notes payable aggregating $400,000. These notes bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum and matured 30 days from the issuance date. In connection with these notes, the Company granted the note holders an aggregate 200,000 shares of common stock with a grant date fair value of $110,000. The aggregate grant date fair value of the common stock was applied to the principal amount of these notes payable to determine the debt discount. Accordingly, the Company allocated $86,274 of the offering proceeds to the relative fair value of the common stock on their respective grant dates and recorded them as Common Stock Issuable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, as the shares were not issued until January 2013 due to the delays in issuing the stock certificates. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized $86,274 in amortization of the deferred debt discount relating to these notes payable.
In November 2012, the Company obtained extensions from certain notes payable holders to extend the maturity date of their notes as the notes were in default. The holders of notes payable in the aggregate amounts of $70,000 and $895,000 extended the due date of their notes to December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively. The holders of the respective notes agreed to waive all prior events of default (as defined in the respective agreements).
In connection with the note maturity extensions, the Company issued warrants to purchase 56,500 shares of common stock at a fixed exercise price of $0.70 per share. The aggregate grant date fair value of $18,661 was applied to the principal amount of the notes to determine the debt discount. Accordingly, the Company allocated $18,661 of the fair value of the warrants and recorded the warrants as a debt discount in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Such amount was amortized over the terms of the note maturity extension period using the effective interest method. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized $11,197 and $7,464, respectively, in amortization of the debt discount relating to the note maturity extensions.
The fair value of warrants on the issuance dates was calculated using a Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions:

The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized. To the extent that realization is not likely, a valuation allowance is established. Based upon the Company’s losses since inception, management believes that it is more likely than not that future benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company is required to file income tax returns in U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions. The Company has not yet filed its federal and state income tax returns for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) through December 31, 2010 and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 and 2013, respectively. These returns will be subject to examination by tax authorities when filed.
At December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company had approximately $8,300,000, $7,600,000 and $4,100,000, respectively, of federal and state net operating loss carryovers that may be available to offset future taxable income. The Company will not be able to utilize these carryovers until the related tax returns are filed. The net operating loss carry overs, if not utilized, will expire 20 years from the date that the losses were incurred. These losses could be subject to limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code should there be a greater than 50% ownership change as determined under the regulations. Based on the Company's evaluation of the impact of Section 382 on the revenue recapitalization, the Company has estimated that such losses are not subject to limitation.
The Company evaluated the provisions of ASC 740 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, present, and disclose uncertain positions that the company has taken or expects to take in its tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the net benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as "unrecognized benefits." A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise's potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740.
If applicable, interest costs related to the unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated and would be classified as Interest expense in the statement of operations. Penalties would be recognized as a component of General and administrative expenses in the statement of operations.
No interest or penalties on unpaid tax were recorded durng the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.

Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement
The Company has designated 7,150,000 shares of its authorized preferred stock with par value of $.001 per share as Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”). The holders of the Series A Preferred shall be entitled to cumulative dividends at the rate of 8% of the Original Purchase Price per annum (as defined below). In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the assets of the Company shall be distributed first to the holders of Series A Preferred an amount
per share of Series A Preferred equal the sum of (i) two times the original purchase price and (ii) any declared and unpaid dividends, which shall be paid in cash. Each holder of shares of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to one vote for each whole share of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred could be converted. At the option of the holder, the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred are convertible into shares of Common Stock at the rate which is calculated by dividing the Original Purchase Price by the Conversion Price of $0.60 per share within thirty six months after the original issue date (the “Conversion Rate”). The Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of the Company's common stock at the Conversion Rate (1) on the third anniversary of the original issuance date or (2) if the Company's average stock price is $1.20 for 20 consecutive trading days and trading volume is at least $150,000.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with certain investors for an aggregate of 641,668 shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase 50% of the shares of Common Stock that the Series A Preferred Stock would be converted into at a conversion price of $0.60 per share, an aggregate of 320,837 warrants. The Company received proceeds of $385,000 ($0.60 per unit, which shall be referred to as the “Original Purchase Price”) in connection with the subscription agreement. The warrants have a five year term, an exercise price of $0.80 per share, and were valued on the grant date at $98,286. Such warrants are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The value of the warrants was a direct cost of the offering and has been recorded as a reduction in additional paid in capital. On August 20, 2012, the Company issued the 641,668 shares to the investors.
The fair value of the warrants on the issuance date was calculated using a Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions:

Warrants
In connection with the Share Exchange, in December 2011 the Company issued warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock to an investor. Such warrants have an exercise price of $0.40 per share, and were valued at $920,000. These warrants expire on the earlier of seven years from the grant date or the closing of a sale or merger transaction (as defined). Such costs were expensed as merger costs on the date of the Share Exchange.
The Company determined that the warrants did not contain fixed settlement provisions because the exercise price can be adjusted based on new issuances. As such, the Company was required to record the warrants as liabilities and mark to market all such derivatives to fair value each reporting period through December 31, 2013. The fair value of the warrants on the issuance date was calculated using a compound option model that includes characteristics of both a binomial lattice and the Black-Scholes formula valued with the following weighted average assumptions:

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
NUVEL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Note 1. Business Organization, Nature of Operations and Reverse Recapitalization
Nuvel Holdings, Inc. is a Florida corporation incorporated on October 19, 2009. Nuvel Holdings, Inc. was previously known as Harmony Metals, Inc. prior to its name change effective on April 10, 2012. On March 20, 2012, Harmony Metals, Inc. acquired the outstanding shares of HRMY Sub, Inc., a newly formed Florida corporation. On April 10, 2012, Harmony Metals, Inc. merged HRMY Sub, Inc. into itself and changed its name to Nuvel Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") solely to effect a name change.
On December 30, 2011, the Company, certain stockholders of the Company (the “Company Stockholders”), Nuvel, Inc., a Delaware Company, (“Nuvel DE”) and all of the stockholders of Nuvel DE entered into and consummated transactions pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement.
The Company designs, develops and markets Wide Area Network Acceleration (WANa) Solutions that are built for the purpose of accelerating and optimizing the flow of information over the Internet. The Company’s products are deployed by its customers throughout their network infrastructures to improve the performance of their networks and reduce network costs, while enhancing network security.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2013, June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2013. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2013. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2013.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company included in the Company’s annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, included elsewhere in this filing. The Company’s accounting policies are more fully described in the Notes to the consolidated financial Statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
Note 2. Going Concern and Management Plans
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $8,204,310 and stockholders’ deficiency of $8,605,826. The Company has not generated any material revenues and incurred net losses since inception. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's primary source of operating funds since inception has been note financings. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company secured additional debt financing in the form of Notes Payable aggregating $382,750 and has converted notes payable and convertible notes payable totaling $3,260,000 into preferred stock. The Company expects that its current cash on hand will fund its operations only through November 2014. The Company intends to raise additional capital through private debt and equity investors. The Company needs to raise additional capital in order to be able to accomplish its business plan objectives. The Company is continuing its efforts to secure additional funds through debt or equity instruments due to the impending lack of funds. Management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing based on its limited history of raising funds; however, no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to do so. There is no assurance that any funds it raises will be sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful, the Company may need to curtail or cease its operations and implement a plan to extend payables or reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.
On October 24, 2014, the Company entered into a letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) with OrangeHook, Inc., (“Orange Hook”) a Minnesota corporation. Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, the Company and OrangeHook will merge or combine their assets, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the “Transaction”). The anticipated closing date is to be on or before December 31, 2014 (“the Closing”). As a result of the intended business combination, the Company will acquire all of the equity or assets of OrangeHook subject to the terms of the Letter of Intent. The Company will issue common stock to the shareholders of OrangeHook such that after the Transaction (and prior to any financing at the time of the Transaction), OrangeHook shareholders will own approximately 85% of the Company and the pre-Transaction Nuvel shareholders will own approximately 15% of the Company, which is subject to adjustment by negotiation of the parties. Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, OrangeHook provided $60,000 as bridge financing to the Company, in the form of an unsecured loan to assist the Company in completing the necessary filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) such that it will be current in its reporting. Conditions to Closing include that the Company be current in its SEC reports, that each of the financings set forth in the Letter of Intent have occurred and that any necessary shareholder approval has been obtained. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be successful.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nuvel, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include amortization, the fair value of our stock, debt discount, derivative liabilities, and the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparison purposes to conform to the presentation of the current period condensed consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss.
Capitalized Software Costs
Software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility through general release of the software products are capitalized. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the economic lives of the related products which is generally three years. The Company's Wide Area Network ("WAN") product did not reach technological feasibility and, therefore, no costs associated with its development were capitalized. The Company had recorded capitalized software costs aggregating $68,560 as of December 31, 2012. In March 2013, due to a lack of funding, the Company could no longer support the mobile application product. The Company wrote off the entire capitalized costs, which was recorded as Loss on write-off of capitalized software costs in the statement of operations.
Net Loss per Share
The Company computes basic net loss per share by dividing net loss per share available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable. The computation of basic and diluted loss per share excludes potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2013, the six months ended June 30, 2013 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the Company’s short term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuance of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.
The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Financial liabilities as of September 30, 2013, June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Level 3 Valuation Techniques
Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the warrant liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.
The derivative liabilities are measured at fair value using a compound option model that includes characteristics of both a binomial lattice and Black-Scholes formula and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
A significant decrease in the volatility or a significant increase in the Company’s stock price, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Changes in the values of the derivative liabilities are recorded in Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities within Other Expense on the Company’s condensed consolidated Statements of Operations.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.
