NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Nature of Operations

Bright Mountain Holdings, Inc. (“BMHI” or the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”, “Bright Mountain”) is a Florida corporation formed on May 20, 2010. Its wholly owned subsidiaries, Bright Mountain LLC, and The Bright Insurance Agency, LLC, were formed as Florida limited liability companies in May 2011.

The Bright Insurance Agency, LLC was formerly known as Five Peaks, LLC.  On September 25, 2013 Five Peaks, LLC filed Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Organization with the State of Florida to amend its entity name to The Bright Insurance Agency, LLC.

Bright Mountain is developing a personal website “portal” designed to attract and retain Internet audiences whose main purpose is to be a starting point when connecting to or searching the World Wide Web (Web), with a special emphasis on military, veterans, firemen, law enforcement, and first responders.  The Bright Mountain mission is to help people in these groups by developing a profitable enterprise and giving back to nationally known charities that represent veterans and first responders, including law enforcement, firemen, and EMS.

The website, www.thebright.com , has unique characteristics including design elements like colors, shapes, layout and typefaces, as well as certain dynamic or interactive elements such as boxes, buttons and menus. The “look and feel” of Bright Mountain can be described in terms such as “colorful”, “quality”, “fun” “user friendly” and “trustworthy”. It contains in a number of sections a vast amount of mission group oriented information including originally written news content, financial markets information and data, blogs, and mission group information.  Bright Mountain also owns the following websites:

Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and the financial position as of September 30, 2013 have been made. The results of operations for such interim period is not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year.

Recapitalization

Our Board of Directors approved a 1.8 for 1 forward stock split of our common shares on June 26, 2013, which became effective for shareholders of record on June 26, 2013. The Company also amended its articles of incorporation to increase its authorized common stock to 324,000,000 shares.  All shares issued prior to June 26, 2013 and the respective per share amounts (including quantities and prices) in our accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the 1.8 for 1 forward stock split and change in outstanding shares.  This means that each original share quantity issued prior to June 26, 2013 has been multiplied by 1.8 and each original share price has been divided by 1.8.  For example, the price per share of $0.50 originally paid for by an investor prior to June 26, 2013 is now reflected as $0.2778, while a quantity of 100 shares is now reflected as 180 shares.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BMHI and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Bright Mountain, LLC and The Bright Insurance Agency, LLC. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Development Stage Company

The Company has been in the development stage from inception to September 30, 2013.  Activities during the development stage have been principally devoted to organizational activities, raising capital, software development and evaluating operational activities and business opportunities. Since its formation, the Company has had minimal revenues from its planned operations.

Use of Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments, and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of our consolidated financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Our consolidated financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. Significant estimates included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the fair value of acquired assets for purchase price allocation in business combinations, valuation of inventory, valuation of intangible assets, estimates of amortization period for intangible assets, valuation of equity based transactions, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and the short-term portion of long-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

We adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities (ASC 820). The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

(Unaudited)



Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on our products in accordance with ASC 605-10, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”. Under these guidelines, revenue is recognized on sales transactions when all of the following exist: persuasive evidence of an arrangement did exist, delivery of product has occurred, the sales price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company has several revenue streams generated directly from its website and specific revenue recognition criteria for each revenue stream is as follows:

·

Sale of merchandise directly to consumers: The Company’s product sales are recognized either FOB shipping point or FOB destination, dependent on the customer. Revenues are therefore recognized at point of ownership transfer, accordingly.

·

Advertising revenue is received directly form companies who pay the Company a monthly fee for advertising space.

·

Advertising revenues are generated by users “clicking” on website advertisements utilizing several ad network partners: Revenues are recognized, on a net basis, upon receipt of payment by the ad network partner since the revenue is not determinable until it is received.

The Company follows the guidance of ASC 605-50-25, “Revenue Recognition, Customer Payments”. Accordingly, any incentives received from vendors are recognized as a reduction of the cost of products included in inventories. Promotional products or samples given to customers or potential customers are recognized as a cost of goods sold. Cash incentives provided to our customers are recognized as a reduction of the related sale price, and, therefore, are a reduction in sales.

Cost of Sales

Components of costs of sales include product costs, shipping costs to customers and any inventory adjustments.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues and shipping and handling costs for shipments to customers as cost of revenues.

Sales Return Reserve Policy

Our return policy generally allows our end users to return purchased products for refund or in exchange for new products. We estimate a reserve for sales returns, if any, and record that reserve amount as a reduction of sales and as a sales return reserve liability. Sales to consumers on our web site generally may be returned within a reasonable period of time.

Warranty Reserve Policy

The Company is a retail distributor of products and warranties are the responsibility of the manufacturer. Therefore, the Company does not record a reserve for product warranty.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees for services in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an employee award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Advertising, Marketing and Promotion

Advertising, marketing and promotion expenses are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statement of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the nine months ended September 30, 2012, advertising, marketing and promotion expense was $41,758 and $67,824 respectively.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount that, based on available evidence, is more likely than not to be realized.

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

As of September 30, 2013, tax years 2012, 2011 and 2010 remain open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit or any notifications from the IRS for any of the open tax years.

Basic and Diluted Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

In accordance with ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share”, basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. As of September 30, 2013 there were 1,360,000 common stock equivalent shares outstanding as stock options. Equivalent shares are not utilized when the effect is anti-dilutive.

Segment Information

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, the Company is required to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. The Company does not have any operating segments as of September 30, 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

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. The Company sustained net losses of $991,473 and used cash in operating activities of $947,744 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company had deficit accumulated during development stage of $2,668,817 at September 30, 2013.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and its ability to continue receiving investment capital and loans from related parties to sustain its current level of operations.

Management plans to continue to raise additional capital through a Private Placement Memorandum and is exploring additional avenues for future fund-raising through both public and private sources.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 – BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

On July 15, 2013 the Company acquired a website asset and all related intellectual property, namely www.coastguardnews.com.  The Company paid $7,000 cash consideration.  Additionally, the Company entered into an agreement with the seller in which the Company will pay the seller $500 per month for 36 months beginning August 15, 2013 and continuing until July 15, 2016 to maintain the website. This asset purchase was accounted for as a business combination.  The purchase price of $7,000 was allocated to one intangible website asset, which is included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  The website is being amortized on a straight line basis over three years.  

The operations of the website prior to the Company’s acquisition were immaterial; therefore, pro forma information is not presented.  There were no costs of acquisition incurred as a result of this website purchase.

Stock Incentive Plan and Stock Option Grants to Employees and Directors

On April 20, 2011, the Company’s board of directors and majority stockholder adopted the 2011 Stock Option Plan (the “2011 Plan”), to be effective on January 3, 2011. The purpose of the 2011 Plan is to provide an incentive to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship and to stimulate an active interest of such persons into our development and financial success. Under the 2011 Plan, the Company is authorized to issue incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock and long-term incentive awards. The Company has reserved for issuance an aggregate of 900,000 shares of common stock under the 2011 Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Company stock that shall be subject to Grants made under the Plan to any individual during any calendar year shall be 180,000 shares. The Company’s board of directors will administer the 2011 Plan until such time as such authority has been delegated to a committee of the board of directors. The material terms of each option granted pursuant to the 2011 Plan by the Company shall contain the following terms: (i) that the purchase price of each share purchasable under an incentive option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, (ii) the term of each option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date such option is granted and (iii) in the absence of any option vesting periods designated by the Committee at the time of grant, options shall vest and become exercisable in terms and conditions, consistent with the Plan, as may be determined by the Committee and specified in the Grant Instrument.

On January 3, 2011, the Company granted, pursuant to the 2011 Plan, ten-year stock options to purchase 720,000 common shares of the Company, of which (i) 180,000 are exercisable on January 3, 2012 at $0.1389 per share, (ii) 180,000 are exercisable on January 3, 2013 at $0.1389 per share, (iii) 180,000 are exercisable on January 3, 2014 at $0.1389 per share and (iv) 180,000 are exercisable on January 3, 2015 at $0.1389 per share.

The total fair value of stock option awards granted to employees during the year ended December 31, 2011 was $68,880, which is being recognized over the respective vesting periods. The Company recorded compensation expense of $35,560 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

On February 17, 2012, the Company granted 54,000 ten-year stock options, which have an exercise price of $0.2778 per share and cliff vest annually over three years starting February 17, 2013, to an employee. The fair value was computed at $10,302 or $0.1908 per option.

On April 16, 2012, the Company granted 18,000 ten-year stock options, which have an exercise price of $0.2778 and cliff vest annually over three years starting on April 16, 2013, to a non-employee. The fair value was computed at $3,432 or $0.1908 per option.

The total fair value of stock option awards granted to employees during the year ended December 31, 2012 was $13,728, which is being recognized over the respective vesting periods. The Company recorded compensation expense of $25,884 for the year ended December 31, 2012.

On April 1, 2013, the Company’s board of directors and majority stockholder adopted the 2013 Stock Option Plan (the “2013 Plan”), to be effective on April 1, 2013. The purpose of the 2013 Plan is to provide an incentive to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship and to stimulate an active interest of such persons into our development and financial success. Under the 2013 Plan, the Company is authorized to issue incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock and long-term incentive awards. The Company has reserved for issuance an aggregate of 900,000 shares of common stock under the 2013 Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Company stock that shall be subject to Grants made under the Plan to any individual during any calendar year shall be 180,000 shares. The Company’s board of directors will administer the 2013 Plan until such time as such authority has been delegated to a committee of the board of directors. The material terms of each option granted pursuant to the 2013 Plan by the Company shall contain the following terms: (i) that the purchase price of each share purchasable under an incentive option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, (ii) the term of each option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date such option is granted and (iii) in the absence of any option vesting periods designated by the Committee at the time of grant, options shall vest and become exercisable in terms and conditions, consistent with the Plan, as may be determined by the Committee and specified in the Grant Instrument.

Between April 9, 2013 and June 24, 2013, the Company granted 468,000 ten-year stock options, which have an exercise price of $0.2778 and cliff vest annually over four years starting in April to June 2013, to two employees and one director. The aggregate fair value of these options was computed at $89,236 or $0.1907 per option, which is being recognized over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

On August 12, 2013 the Company granted 100,000 ten-year stock options, which have an exercise price of $0.50 per share and cliff vest annually over four years starting in August 2014 to an employee.  The aggregate fair value of these options was computed at $16,334 or $0.1633 per option.

On July 1, 2013 the Company’s prior CFO retired and the Board authorized his options to continue vesting and expire on the original expiration date.  In accordance with ASC 718, the remaining cost relating to his stock options was expensed since the requisite services were completed.

The Company recorded $30,616 and $19,041 compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in connection with all the option grants in all periods.

As of September 30, 2013, 440,000 shares were remaining under the 2013 Plan for future issuance.

The Company estimates the fair value of share-based compensation utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is dependent upon several variables such as the expected option term, expected volatility of our stock price over the expected option term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected option term, expected dividend yield rate over the expected option term, and an estimate of expected forfeiture rates. The Company believes this valuation methodology is appropriate for estimating the fair value of stock options granted to employees and directors, which are subject to ASC Topic 718 requirements. These amounts are estimates and thus may not be reflective of actual future results, nor amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award.

The expected life is computed using the simplified method, which is the average of the vesting term and the contractual term. The expected volatility is based on an average of similar public companies historical volatility, as the Company does not currently trade on the open market. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields with terms equivalent to the expected term of the related option at the time of the grant. Dividend yield is based on historical trends. While the Company believes these estimates are reasonable, the compensation expense recorded would increase if the expected life was increased, a higher expected volatility was used, or if the expected dividend yield increased.

ITEM 2.

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

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth in our Registration Statement on Form 10. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a development stage company organized in May 2010. Bright Mountain is developing a personal website “portal” designed to attract and retain Internet audiences whose main purpose is to be a starting point when connecting to or searching the World Wide Web (Web), with a special emphasis on consumer needs, breaking news, original content, and giving back. Our website seeks to fulfill its mission to help people in need by developing a profitable enterprise and giving back to affiliated groups of veterans and first responders including law enforcement, police and EMS.

Our primary website, www.TheBright.com , has its own unique design elements like colors, shapes, layout and typefaces, as well as certain dynamic or interactive elements such as boxes, buttons and menus. Management believes that the “look and feel” of Bright Mountain can be described in terms such as “colorful”, “quality”, “fun”, “user friendly”, and “trustworthy”. It contains in a number of sections a vast amount of mission group oriented information including original news content, financial markets information and data, blogs, and mission group services and discounts.

Additional Bright Mountain websites are:

Wardocumentaryfilms.com

Bootcamp4me.com

Bootcamp4me.org

360fire.com

Coastguardnews.com

TheBravestOnline.com

Growth and retention of user traffic is paramount to our Company’s future success. We expect to undertake specific efforts to develop this user traffic, including:

·

creation of a private email network for TheBright.com users

·

development of TheBright.com news. With fifteen news writers at this time, management is planning for this service to be the source of several hundred original content articles that will be published monthly with other aggregated news sources such as the Associated Press and McClatchy newspapers,

·

hiring of known writers to write articles for Bright Mountain covering subjects of interest to our mission group.

·

development of a social media platform focused on military veterans and others that “protect us”, is being planned for TheBright.com website, and

·

acquiring of websites that are related to the Company’s core mission to give back to veterans, firemen, police and EMS –“those that protect us”.  Website acquisitions in the third quarter 2013 include:

Coastguardnews.com on July 15, 2013

Total visitor traffic for Bright Mountain websites has grown over 50% sequentially from quarter to quarter from the fourth quarter 2012 through the third quarter 2013.

Going Concern

We have incurred net losses and used cash in operations of $2,668,817 and $2,560,595 respectively, since inception (May 20, 2010) through September 30, 2013. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012 and for the period from May 20, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2012 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our net losses, cash used in operations and accumulated deficit.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There are no assurances we will be successful in our efforts to generate revenues or report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern, in which event investors would lose their entire investment in our company.

Results of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012

Revenue: The Company’s revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $151,770 increased 2,992% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 of $4,908 and revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $325,485 increased 3,885% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $8,167.  The increase in our product sales reflects the impact of expanded product inventory.

Cost of Sales:   Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenues was 76% and 78% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.  Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenue was 82% and 82% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.  Our margins increased in the 2013 periods from the 2012 periods as a result of the reduction in cost of sales as a percentage of total sales.  This reduction is primarily attributed to expanding product lines and strengthened purchasing power as a result of our increased volume.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses of $255,549 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased to $295,024 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The Company’s operating expenses increased from $633,091 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $1,049,893 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses can be attributed to ongoing implementation of the Company’s business plan as well as incurring certain operating expenses during 2013 that were new compared to 2012, such as expenses related to a consulting agreement, SEC counsel, audit and Edgar fees. The operating expenses that were new in 2013 compared to 2012 include $75,000 to a consultant for financial advisory services, $10,433 paid to the Company’s stock transfer agent, $100,125 paid to SEC and trademark counsel, and $42,579 for audit and Edgar filing fees. Additionally, the following expenses increased in 2013 compared to 2012; payroll, payroll taxes and employee medical expense increased by $77,311; insurance expense increased by $10,724; stock compensation increased by $69,075 of which $57,500 was to outside consultants; and lastly, website content, software development, domain registration, and server hosting fees increased by approximately $32,020.

Interest Expense: The Company’s interest expense decreased from $4,157 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The Company’s interest expense increased from $4,157 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $12,093 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to the issuance of Notes to Related Parties in the total amount of $300,000.  The Notes were converted to equity on May 31, 2013.

Net loss from operations: The Company’s net loss from operations decreased from $258,825 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $258,777 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The Company’s net loss from operations increased from $635,753 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $991,473 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due primarily to the increase in operating expenses related to the implementation of its business plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash flows used in operating activities was $947,744 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $622,465 used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to ongoing implementation of the Company’s business plan as well as incurring certain operating expenses during 2013 that were new compared to 2012.

Net cash used in investing activities was $7,853 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $2,700 used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, due to the purchase of fixed assets.  

Net cash flows provided from financing activities was $816,956 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $423,781 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Net cash decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $138,641 compared to net cash decrease of $201,384 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Cash as of September 30, 2013 was $198,043 compared to $127,365 as of September 30, 2012.

Since inception, May 10, 2010, through September 30, 2013, we had a net loss of $2,668,817 and at September 30, 2013, we had working capital of $359,466. These development stage losses have been funded through the sale of our common stock. Cash proceeds from the sale of our common stock totaled $2,546,500 through September 30, 2013. Shareholder loans received during 2012 totaled $300,000 with a balance outstanding at September 30, 2013 of $0 as a result of the mutual agreement in May 2013 between the Company and the holder(s) to the conversion of the outstanding principal balance of $286,000 from debt to equity through the issuance of 1,029,600 shares of Company Common Stock. While we generated nominal revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we do not anticipate that we will generate sufficient income to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. During that period of time we will need to obtain additional equity or debt financing of $700,000 as to which, at this time, we have no assurances of its availability, and if available, its terms.

Presently, our monthly operating overhead is approximately $117,000 of which, approximately $106,000 is cash operating overhead. We intend to increase this $106,000 cash operating overhead to $125,000 if we are able to raise additional capital with the initial proceeds being used for an increase in general and administrative expenses, branding, marketing, advertising and promotion, ongoing website development and operations and inventory. In the absence of additional funding, we will need to decrease our expenses, which will adversely impact on our plan of operations.

Capital Resources have also been used for the acquisition and further development of the following website business; which was acquired during the three month period ending September 30, 2013:

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable for a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures . We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on his evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that taken together may be considered to be a material weakness.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses at September 30, 2013:

The Company currently has only one employee who is responsible for handling the cash and making deposits, posting cash receipts, writing and mailing checks, and posting cash disbursements.  As a result, the CEO will review bank statements and reconciliations as a mitigating control until such time as funds are available to the Company to create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives.

The Company does not currently have monitoring controls in place to ensure correct analysis and application of generally accepted accounting principles.  As a result, the Company is contemplating retaining an outside accountant with SEC accounting experience on an as needed basis as a monitoring control.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on the Company's financial reporting for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors can adversely affect reporting in the future years, when our operations become more complex and less transparent and require higher level of financial expertise from the overseeing body of the Company.

We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will, as soon as funds are available to the Company (1) appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to the audit committee of the Company resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources; and (3) hire independent third parties or consultants to provide expert advice as needed.



21



 


We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. We do not, however, expect that the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls will be remediated until such time as we have improved our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

EXHIBIT 10.18

BRIGHT MOUNTAIN HOLDINGS, INC.

2013 STOCK OPTION PLAN

The purpose of the Bright Mountain Holdings, Inc. 2013 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") is to provide (i) designated employees of Bright Mountain Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries, (ii) certain consultants and advisors who perform services for the Company or its subsidiaries and (iii) non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") with the opportunity to receive grants of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options. The Company believes that the Plan will encourage the participants to contribute materially to the growth of the Company, thereby benefiting the Company's stockholders, and will align the economic interests of the participants with those of the stockholders.

1.

Administration

a.

Committee. The Plan shall be administered by a committee appointed by the Board (the "Committee"), which may consist of two or more persons who are "outside directors" as defined under section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and related Treasury regulations and "non-employee directors" as defined under Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). In the event the Company does not have at least two outside directors, the Board shall constitute the Committee.

b.

Committee Authority.   The Committee shall have the sole authority to (i) determine the individuals to whom grants shall be made under the Plan, (ii) determine the type, size and terms of the grants to be made to each such individual, (iii) determine the time when the grants will be made and the duration of any applicable exercise period, including the criteria for exercisability and the acceleration of exercisability, (iv) amend the terms of any previously issued grant, and (v) deal with any other matters arising under the Plan.

c.

Committee Determinations.    The Committee shall have full power and authority to administer and interpret the Plan, to make factual determinations and to adopt or amend such rules, regulations, agreements and instruments for implementing the Plan and for the conduct of its business as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion. The Committee's interpretations of the Plan and all determinations made by the Committee pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on all persons having any interest in the Plan or in any awards granted hereunder. All powers of the Committee shall be executed in its sole discretion, in the best interest of the Company, not as a fiduciary, and in keeping with the objectives of the Plan and need not be uniform as to similarly situated individuals.

2.

Grants

Awards under the Plan may consist of grants of incentive stock options ("Incentive Stock Options") and nonqualified stock options ("Nonqualified Stock Options").  Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Stock Options are collectively referred to as "Options" and "Grants”.  All Grants shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and to such other terms and conditions consistent


1




with this Plan as the Committee deems appropriate and as are specified in writing by the Committee to the individual in a grant instrument or an amendment to the grant instrument (the "Grant Instrument"). The Committee shall approve the form and provisions of each Grant Instrument. Grants under the Plan need not be uniform as among the grantees.

3.

Shares Subject to the Plan

a.

Shares Authorized.  Subject to adjustment as described below, the aggregate number of shares of common stock of the Company ("Company Stock") that may be issued or transferred under the Plan is 500,000 shares. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Company Stock that shall be subject to Grants made under the Plan to any individual during any calendar year shall be 100,000 shares, subject to adjustment as described below. The shares may be authorized but unissued shares of Company Stock or reacquired shares of Company Stock, including shares purchased by the Company on the open market for purposes of the Plan. If and to the extent Options granted under the Plan terminate, expire, or are canceled, forfeited, exchanged or surrendered without having been exercised, the shares subject to such Grants shall again be available for purposes of the Plan.

b.

Adjustments.   If there is any change in the number or kind of shares of Company Stock outstanding (i) by reason of a stock dividend, spinoff, recapitalization, stock split, or combination or exchange of shares, (ii) by reason of a merger, reorganization or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, (iii) by reason of a reclassification or change in par value, or (iv) by reason of any other extraordinary or unusual event affecting the outstanding Company Stock as a class without the Company's receipt of consideration, or if the value of outstanding shares of Company Stock is substantially reduced as a result of a spinoff or the Company's payment of an extraordinary dividend or distribution, the maximum number of shares of Company Stock available for Grants, the maximum number of shares of Company Stock that any individual participating in the Plan may be granted in any year, the number of shares covered by outstanding Grants, the kind of shares issued under the Plan, and the price per share or the applicable market value of such Grants may be appropriately adjusted by the Committee to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of, or change in the kind or value of, issued shares of Company Stock to preclude, to the extent practicable, the enlargement or dilution of rights and benefits under such Grants; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall be eliminated. Any adjustments determined by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive.

4.

Eligibility for Participation

(a) Eligible Persons. All employees of the Company and its subsidiaries ("Employees"), including Employees who are officers or members of the Board, and members of the Board who are not Employees ("Non-Employee Directors") shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. Consultants and advisors who perform services for the Company or any of its subsidiaries ("Key Advisors") shall be eligible to participate in the Plan if the Key Advisors render bona fide services to the Company or its subsidiaries, the services are not in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction and the Key Advisors do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company's securities.

(b) Selection of Grantees. The Committee shall select the Employees, Non-Employee Directors and Key Advisors to receive Grants and shall determine the number of shares of Company Stock subject to a particular Grant in such manner as the Committee determines. Employees, Key Advisors and Non-Employee Directors who receive Grants under this Plan shall hereinafter be referred to as "Grantees."


2




5.

Granting of Options

a.

Number of Shares. The Committee shall determine the number of shares of Company Stock that will be subject to each Grant of Options to Employees, Non-Employee Directors and Key Advisors.

b.

Type of Option and Price.

(i) The Committee may grant Incentive Stock Options that are intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" within the meaning of section 422 of the Code or Nonqualified Stock Options that are not intended so to qualify or any combination of Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Stock Options, all in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. Nonqualified Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Non-Employee Directors and Key Advisors.

(ii) The purchase price (the "Exercise Price") of Company Stock subject to an Option shall be determined by the Committee and may be equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of a share of Company Stock on the date the Option is granted; provided, however, that an Incentive Stock Option may not be granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant, owns stock possessing more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, unless the Exercise Price per share is not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of Company Stock on the date of grant.

(iii) If the Company Stock is publicly traded, then the Fair Market Value per share shall be determined as follows: (x) if the principal trading market for the Company Stock is a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, the last reported sale price thereof on the relevant date or (if there were no trades on that date) the latest preceding date upon which a sale was reported, or (y) if the Company Stock is not principally traded on such exchange or market, the mean between the last reported "bid" and "asked" prices of Company Stock on the relevant date, as reported on Nasdaq or, if not so reported, as reported by the National Daily Quotation Bureau, Inc. or as reported in a customary financial reporting service, as applicable and as the Committee determines. If the Company Stock is not publicly traded or, if publicly traded, is not subject to reported transactions or "bid" or "asked" quotations as set forth above, the Fair Market Value per share shall be as determined by the Committee.


(c)

Option Term. The Committee shall determine the term of each Option. The term of any Option shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant. However, an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant, owns stock possessing more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, may not have a term that exceeds five years from the date of grant.


d.

Exercisability of Options. Options shall become exercisable in accordance with such terms and conditions, consistent with the Plan, as may be determined by the Committee and specified in the Grant Instrument.  The Committee may accelerate the exercisability of any or all outstanding Options at any time for any reason.

e.

Termination of Employment. Disability or Death.


3




(i) Except for options granted to consultants and advisors and except as provided below, an Option may only be exercised while the Grantee is employed by the Company as an Employee, Key Advisor or member of the Board. In the event that a Grantee ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason other than Disability, death, or termination for Cause (as defined below), any Option which is otherwise exercisable by the Grantee shall terminate unless exercised within 90 days after the date on which the Grantee ceases to be employed by the Company (or within such other period of time as may be specified by the Committee), but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Option term. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, any of the Grantee's Options that are not otherwise exercisable as of the date on which the Grantee ceases to be employed by the Company shall terminate as of such date.

(ii) In the event the Grantee ceases to be employed by the Company on account of a termination for Cause by the Company, any Option held by the Grantee shall terminate as of the date the Grantee ceases to be employed by the Company.  In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5, if the Committee determines that the Grantee has engaged in conduct that constitutes Cause at any time while the Grantee is employed by the Company or after the Grantee's termination of employment, any Option held by the Grantee shall immediately terminate and the Grantee shall automatically forfeit all shares underlying any exercised portion of an Option for which the Company has not yet delivered the share certificates, upon refund by the Company of the Exercise Price paid by the Grantee for such shares. Upon any exercise of an Option, the Company may withhold delivery of share certificates pending resolution of an inquiry that could lead to a finding resulting in a forfeiture.

(iii) In the event the Grantee ceases to be employed by the Company because the Grantee is Disabled, any Option which is otherwise exercisable by the Grantee shall terminate unless exercised within one year after the date on which the Grantee ceases to be employed by the Company (or within such other period of time as may be specified by the Committee), but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Option term. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, any of the Grantee's Options which are not otherwise exercisable as of the date on which the Grantee ceases to be employed by the Company shall terminate as of such date.

(iv) If the Grantee dies while employed by the Company or within 90 days after the date on which the Grantee ceases to be employed or provide service on account of a termination specified in Section 5(e)(i) above (or within such other period of time as maybe specified by the Committee), any Option that is otherwise exercisable by the Grantee shall terminate unless exercised within one year after the date on which the Grantee dies or ceases to be employed by the Company (or within such other period of time as may be specified by the Committee), but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Option term.  In case of death, the Grantee heirs may exercise any and all rights under this stock option plan within the time frame above.  Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, any of the Grantee's Options that are not otherwise exercisable as of the date on which the Grantee ceases to be employed by the Company shall terminate as of such date.

(v) For purposes of this Section 5(e):

1.

The term "Company" shall mean the Company and its parent and subsidiary corporations or other entities, as determined by the Committee.

2.

"Employed by the Company" shall mean employment as an Employee, Key Advisor or member of the Board (so that, for purposes of exercising Options, a Grantee shall not be considered to have terminated employment until the Grantee ceases to be an


4




Employee, Key Advisor and member of the Board), unless the Committee determines otherwise.

(3)

"Disability" shall mean a Grantee's becoming disabled within the meaning of section 22(e)(3) of the Code or the Grantee becomes entitled to receive long-term disability benefits under the Company's long-term disability plan if said plan exists.  

(4)

"Cause" shall mean, except to the extent specified otherwise by the Committee, a finding by the Committee that the Grantee (i) has breached his or her employment contract with the Company, (ii) has engaged in disloyalty to the Company, including, without limitation, fraud, embezzlement, theft, commission of a felony or proven dishonesty in the course of his or her employment, (iii) has disclosed trade secrets or confidential information of the Company to persons not entitled to receive such information or (iv) has engaged in such other behavior detrimental to the interests of the Company as the Committee determines.

f.

Exercise of Options.   A Grantee may exercise an Option that has become exercisable, in whole or in part, by delivering a notice of exercise to the Company with payment of the Exercise Price.  The Grantee shall pay the Exercise Price for an Option as specified by the Committee (w) in cash, (x) with the approval of the Committee, by delivering shares of Company Stock owned by the Grantee (including Company Stock acquired in connection with the exercise of an Option, subject to such restrictions as the Committee deems appropriate) and having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price or by attestation (on a form prescribed by the Committee) to ownership of shares of Company Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price, (y) payment through a broker in accordance with procedures permitted by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board, or (z) by such other method as the Committee may approve.   The Committee may authorize loans by the Company to Grantees in connection with the exercise of an Option, upon such terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.  Shares of Company Stock used to exercise an Option shall have been held by the Grantee for the requisite period of time to avoid adverse accounting consequences to the Company with respect to the Option. The Grantee shall pay the Exercise Price and the amount of any withholding tax due at the time of exercise.

g.

Limits on Incentive Stock Options. Each Incentive Stock Option shall provide that, if the aggregate Fair Market Value of the stock on the date of the grant with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Grantee during any calendar year, under the Plan or any other stock option plan of the Company or a parent or subsidiary, exceeds $ 100,000, then the Option, as to the excess, shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be granted to any person who is not an Employee of the Company or a parent or subsidiary (within the meaning of section 424(f) of the Code).


6.

Deferrals

The Committee may permit or require a Grantee to defer receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of shares that would otherwise be due to such Grantee in connection with any Option. If any such deferral election is permitted or required, the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, establish rules and procedures for such deferrals.




5




7.

Withholding of Taxes

a.

Required Withholding. All Grants under the Plan shall be subject to applicable federal (including FICA), state and local tax withholding requirements. In the case of Options, the Company may require that the Grantee or other person receiving or exercising Grants pay to the Company the amount of any federal, state or local taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to such Grants, or the Company may deduct from other wages paid by the Company the amount of any withholding taxes due with respect to such Grants.

b.

Election to Withhold Shares. If the Committee so permits, a Grantee may elect to satisfy the Company's income tax withholding obligation with respect to Options by having shares withheld up to an amount that does not exceed the Grantee's minimum applicable withholding tax rate for federal (including FICA), state and local tax liabilities. The election must be in a form and manner prescribed by the Committee and may be subject to the prior approval of the Committee.

8.

Transferability of Grants

a.

Nontransferability of Grants.  Except as provided below, only the Grantee may exercise rights under a Grant during the Grantee's lifetime. A Grantee may not transfer those rights except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, with respect to Grants other than Incentive Stock Options, if permitted in any specific case by the Committee, pursuant to a domestic relations order. When a Grantee dies, the personal representative or other person entitled to succeed to the rights of the Grantee ("Successor Grantee") may exercise such rights. A Successor Grantee must furnish proof satisfactory to the Company of his or her right to receive the Grant under the Grantee's will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

b.

Transfer of Nonqualified Stock Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may provide, in a Grant Instrument, that a Grantee may transfer Nonqualified Stock Options to family members, or one or more trusts or other entities for the benefit of or owned by family members, consistent with the applicable securities laws, according to such terms as the Committee may determine; provided that the Grantee receives no consideration for the transfer of an Option and the transferred Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Option immediately before the transfer.

9.

Change of Control of the Company


As used herein, a "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if:

a.

Any "person" (as such term is used in sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes a "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company; provided that a Change of Control shall not be deemed to occur as a result of a transaction in which the Company becomes a subsidiary of another corporation and in which the stockholders of the Company, immediately prior to the transaction, will beneficially own, immediately after the transaction, shares entitling such stockholders to more than 50% of all votes to which all stockholders of the parent corporation would be entitled in the election of directors (without consideration of the rights of any class of stock to elect directors by a separate class vote);

b.

The stockholders of the Company approve (or, if stockholder approval is not


6




required, the Board approves) an agreement providing for (i) the merger or consolidation of the Company with another corporation where the stockholders of the Company, immediately prior to the merger or consolidation, will not beneficially own, immediately after the merger or consolidation, shares entitling such stockholders to more than 50% of all votes to which all stockholders of the surviving corporation would be entitled in the election of directors (without consideration of the rights of any class of stock to elect directors by a separate class vote), (ii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (iii) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

c.

Any person has commenced a tender offer or exchange offer for 30% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the Company.

10.

Consequences of a Change of Control

a.

Assumption of Grants. Upon a Change of Control where the Company is not the surviving corporation (or survives only as a subsidiary of another corporation), unless the Committee determines otherwise, all outstanding Options that are not exercised shall be assumed by, or replaced with comparable options or rights by the surviving corporation (or a parent of the surviving corporation), and other outstanding Grants shall be converted to similar grants of the surviving corporation (or a parent of the surviving corporation).

b.

Other Alternatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may, but shall not be obligated to, take any of the following actions with respect to any or all outstanding Grants: the Committee may (i) determine that outstanding Options shall automatically accelerate and become fully exercisable, (ii) require that Grantees surrender their outstanding Options in exchange for a payment by the Company, in cash or Company Stock as determined by the Committee, in an amount equal to the amount by which the then Fair Market Value of the shares of Company Stock subject to the Grantee's unexercised Options exceeds the Exercise Price of the Options or (iii) after giving Grantees an opportunity to exercise their outstanding Options, terminate any or all unexercised Options at such time as the Committee deems appropriate. Such surrender, termination or settlement shall take place as of the date of the Change of Control or such other date as the Committee may specify. The Committee shall have no obligation to take any of the foregoing actions, and, in the absence of any such actions, outstanding Grants shall continue in effect according to their terms (subject to any assumption pursuant to Subsection (a)).

11.

Requirements for Issuance or Transfer of Shares

a.

Limitations on Issuance or Transfer of Shares. No Company Stock shall be issued or transferred in connection with any Option exercise hereunder unless and until all legal requirements applicable to the issuance or transfer of such Company Stock have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Committee.  The Committee shall have the right to condition any Grant made to any Grantee hereunder on such Grantee's undertaking in writing to comply with such restrictions on his or her subsequent disposition of such shares of Company Stock as the Committee shall deem necessary or advisable, and certificates representing such shares may be legended to reflect any such restrictions. Certificates representing shares of Company Stock issued or transferred under the Plan will be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as may be required by applicable laws, regulations and interpretations, including any requirement that a legend be placed thereon.

b.

Lock-Up Period. If so requested by the Company or any representative of the underwriters (the "Managing Underwriter") in connection with any underwritten offering of securities of the


7




Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), a Grantee (including any successors or assigns) shall not sell or otherwise transfer any shares or other securities of the Company during the 30-day period preceding and the 120-day period following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act for such underwriting (or such shorter period as may be requested by the Managing Underwriter and agreed to by the Company) (the "Market Standoff Period"). The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such Market Standoff Period.

12.

Amendment and Termination of the Plan

a.

Amendment.   The Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that the Board shall not amend the Plan without stockholder approval if (i) such approval is required in order for Incentive Stock Options granted or to be granted under the Plan to meet the requirements of section 422 of the Code, (ii) such approval is required in order to exempt compensation under the Plan from the deduction limit under section 162(m) of the Code, or (iii) such approval is required by applicable stock exchange requirements.

b.

Termination of Plan.   The Plan shall terminate on the day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of its effective date, unless the Plan is terminated earlier by the Board or is extended by the Board with the approval of the stockholders.

c.

Termination and Amendment of Outstanding Grants.    A termination or amendment of the Plan that occurs after a Grant is made shall not materially impair the rights of a Grantee unless the Grantee consents or unless the Committee acts under Section 18(b).   The termination of the Plan shall not impair the power and authority of the Committee with respect to an outstanding Grant. Whether or not the Plan has terminated, an outstanding Grant may be terminated or amended under Section 18(b) or may be amended by agreement of the Company and the Grantee consistent with the Plan.


(d) Governing Document. The Plan shall be the controlling document. No other statements, representations, explanatory materials or examples, oral or written, may amend the Plan in any manner. The Plan shall be binding upon and enforceable against the Company and its successors and assigns.

13.

Funding of the Plan

This Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets to assure the payment of any Grants under this Plan. In no event shall interest be paid or accrued on any Grant, including unpaid installments of Grants.

14.

Rights of Participants

Nothing in this Plan shall entitle any Employee, Key Advisor, Non-Employee Director or other person to any claim or right to be granted a Grant under this Plan.  Neither this Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any individual any rights to be retained by or in the employ of the Company or any other employment rights.



8




15.

No Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of Company Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Grant. The Committee shall determine whether cash, other awards or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

16.

Headings

Section headings are for reference only. In the event of a conflict between a title and the content of a Section, the content of the Section shall control.

17.

Effective Date of the Plan.

The Plan shall be effective on April 1, 2013.

  18.

Miscellaneous

a.

Grants in Connection with Corporate Transactions and Otherwise. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed to (i) limit the right of the Committee to make Grants under this Plan in connection with the acquisition, by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of the business or assets of any corporation, firm or association, including Grants to employees thereof who become Employees of the Company, or for other proper corporate purposes, or (ii) limit the right of the Company to grant stock options or make other awards outside of this Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee may make a Grant to an employee of another corporation who becomes an Employee by reason of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock or property, reorganization or liquidation involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries in substitution for a stock option or stock awards grant made by such corporation. The terms and conditions of the substitute grants may vary from the terms and conditions required by the Plan and from those of the substituted stock incentives. The Committee shall prescribe the provisions of the substitute grants.

b.

Compliance with Law. The Plan, the exercise of Options and the obligations of the Company to issue or transfer shares of Company Stock under Grants shall be subject to all applicable laws and to approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. With respect to persons subject to section 16 of the Exchange Act, it is the intent of the Company that the Plan and all transactions under the Plan comply with all applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act.  In addition, it is the intent of the Company that the Plan and applicable Grants under the Plan comply with the applicable provisions of section 162(m) of the Code and section 422 of the Code. To the extent that any legal requirement of section 16 of the Exchange Act or section 162(m) or 422 of the Code as set forth in the Plan ceases to be required under section 16 of the Exchange Act or section 162(m) or 422 of the Code, that Plan provision shall cease to apply. The Committee may revoke any Grant if it is contrary to law or modify a Grant to bring it into compliance with any valid and mandatory government regulation. The Committee may also adopt rules regarding the withholding of taxes on payments to Grantees. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, agree to limit its authority under this Section.

c.

Governing Law.  The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of the Plan and Grant Instruments issued under the Plan shall be governed and construed by and determined in accordance with the laws of Florida, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.
