Note 1 Nature of Operations
Nature of Operations and Discontinued Operations
Endeavor IP, Inc.
Endeavor IP, Inc. (f/k/a Finishing Touches Home Goods, Inc.) (the “Company”, “Endeavor”, “We”, “Our”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 8, 2009.
The Company historically provided consulting services, installation, and sales of accessibility and safety products for residential and commercial buildings that require access by handicapped individuals or individuals with limited joint mobility.
Finishing Touches Home Goods, Inc. – Canada – Discontinued Operations
On May 5, 2010, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Finishing Touches Home Goods Inc., an Ontario, Canada Corporation (“FTHG Canada”). FTHG Canada used the U.S. Dollar as its reporting currency as well as its functional currency. However, from time to time FTHG Canada incurred certain expenses in Canadian Dollars.
On June 14, 2012, the Company discontinued its operation in Canada and sold its 100% ownership in FTHG Canada in consideration for cash payment of $1.
Endeavour Principle Capital Limited – U.K. – Discontinued Operations
On January 13, 2012, Mark Hunter, our former officer and director, formed a private limited company Endeavour Principle Capital Limited, a UK corporation, (“Endeavour UK”) in the United Kingdom on behalf of the Company and later transferred the 100% ownership to the Company at no charge.
On May 13, 2013, the Company decided to no longer operate Endeavor UK and is in the process of winding down all activities and expects this to occur within the next 12 months. As a result, this subsidiary is reported as a discontinued operation.
In accordance with ASC Topic 205-20 “Presentation of Financial Statements—Discontinued Operations” (ASC 205-20), the Company determined that the wind down of this entity should be classified as “to be disposed of other than by sale” at July 31, 2013.
A long-lived asset to be disposed of other than by sale (for example, by abandonment, in an exchange measured based on the recorded amount of the nonmonetary asset relinquished, or in a distribution to owners in a spinoff) shall continue to be classified as held and used until it is disposed of. The guidance on long-lived assets to be held and used in ASC No.’s 360-10-35, 360-10-45, and 360-10-50 shall apply while the asset is classified as held and used. If a long-lived asset is to be abandoned or distributed to owners in a spinoff together with other assets (and liabilities) as a group and that disposal group is a component of an entity, paragraphs 205-20-45-1 through 45-5 and 205-20-50-5 shall apply to the disposal group at the date it is disposed of.
The Company has classified the UK subsidiary as discontinued operations and its results of operations, financial position and cash flows are separately reported for all periods presented.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2013 and 2012
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company intends to operate in an industry that is subject to rapid change. The Company's operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks, including the potential risk of business failure.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, respectively.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company recognizes accounts receivable based on billing for the revenue earned from their patent enforcement activities.
The Company has a policy of reserving for questionable accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to bad debt expense after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. At October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, there was no allowance for bad debt.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.” Revenue is recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) all obligations have been substantially performed, (iii) amounts are fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company generally receives a one-time, final lump sum payment, in exchange for granting a non exclusive license. At the time of payment there are no further obligations for the Company or any licensee.
Revenues from patent enforcement activities accounted for 100% of revenues since the Company’s inception and were all from a single claim.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2013 and 2012
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenue mainly includes expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s patent enforcement activities, such as legal fees, consulting costs, patent maintenance, royalty fees for acquired patents and other related expenses.
Cost of revenue does not include expenses related to product development, integration or support, as these are included in general and administrative expenses.
The Company pays a contingency fee of approximately 25%-45% of gross recoveries from litigation settlements. These fees are based upon a graduated scale as negotiated between the Company and its legal counsel.
Income Taxes
A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
For income tax benefits arising from uncertain income tax positions, a tax benefit arising from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized for financial reporting purposes if, and to the extent that, the position is more likely than not to be sustained in an audit by the applicable taxing authority.
Penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses. Interest relating to uncertain tax positions is recorded as a component of interest expense. The Company has not recorded any uncertain tax positions at October 31, 2013 or 2012.
The Company had no material adjustments to its financial statements for unrecognized income tax benefits at October 31, 2013 or 2012.
The Company has not yet filed its corporation income tax return for the period ended October 31, 2013 and 2012. The statute of limitations for the return will begin when the return is filed.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC No. 718, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (“ASC 718”), which established financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument.
The Company accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with ASC No. 718. The Company accounts for share based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC No. 505-50 “Accounting for Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”.
The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
Endeavor IP, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(F/K/A Finishing Touches Home Goods, Inc.)
(Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2013 and 2012
Share based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes Pricing Model (“BSPM”). Share based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable. Grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Stock based compensation expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
When computing fair value of share based payments, the Company has considered the following variables:
•
|
The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant.
|
|
The Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.
|
|
The expected option term is computed using the “simplified” method as permitted under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 110.
|
|
The forfeiture rate is based on the historical forfeiture rate for the Company’s unvested stock options, which was 0%.
|
|
Expected volatility was determined based on the Company’s historical trading activity in a public market.
|
Loss per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), adjusted for changes in income or loss that resulted from the assumed conversion of convertible debt, exercise of stock options and warrants by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.
The Company had the following potential common stock equivalents at October 31, 2013:
Stock options, exercise price ($0.75) – former related party
|
|
|
500,000
|
|
Stock options, exercise price ($0.75)

|
|
|
10,000
|
|
Total common stock equivalents
|
|
|
520,000
|
|
Since the Company reflected a net loss in 2013, the inclusion of any common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive. A separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented.
On September 3, 2013, the Company executed a 14 for 1 forward stock split. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to the earliest period presented.
The Company did not have any common stock equivalents at October 31, 2012.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2013 and 2012
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.
The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
|
|
Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Level 2: Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.
|
The Company's financial instruments consisted primarily of cash, accounts payable and debt. The carrying amount of the Company's financial instrument generally approximates its fair value as of October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as service discontinuance or technological obsolescence, indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable. When such events occur, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted expected future cash flows related to the asset. If the comparison indicates that impairment is present, the amount of the impairment is calculated as the difference between the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset. If a readily determinable market price does not exist, fair value is estimated using discounted expected cash flows attributable to the asset. There have been no impairments recorded during the year ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, consisting of patent portfolios, were acquired from May to July 2013.
Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized on the straight-line method over their useful lives ranging from 7 to 16 years. Costs incurred to acquire these patents, including legal costs, are also capitalized as long-lived assets and amortized on a straight-line basis with the associated patent.
Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment.
Endeavor IP, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(F/K/A Finishing Touches Home Goods, Inc.)
(Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2013 and 2012
Each reporting period, we evaluate the remaining useful lives of intangible assets not being amortized to determine whether facts and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. Intangible assets are considered impaired if the fair value of the intangible asset is less than its net book value. If quoted market prices are not available, the fair values of the intangible assets are based on present values of expected future cash flows or royalties avoided using discount rates commensurate with the risks involved.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquisitions over the acquisition date fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with current accounting guidance,
goodwill is not amortized and is tested at least annually for impairment at the reporting unit level.
We perform our annual analysis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and in any other period in which indicators of impairment warrant additional analysis. Goodwill impairment reviews involve a two-step process. Goodwill is first evaluated for impairment by comparing management's estimate of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill.
Management utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis, referred to as an income approach, to determine the estimated fair value of our reporting units. Significant judgments and assumptions including the discount rate, anticipated revenue growth rate and gross margins, estimated operating and interest expense, and capital expenditures are inherent in these fair value estimates, which are based on our operating and capital budgets and on our strategic plan. As a result, actual results may differ from the estimates utilized in our income approach. The use of alternate judgments and/or assumptions could result in a fair value that differs from our estimate and could result in the recognition of an impairment charge in the financial statements. As a result of these uncertainties, we utilize multiple scenarios and assign probabilities to each of the scenarios in the income approach.
We also consider indications obtained from market-based approaches. We compare market multiples derived from market prices of stock of companies that are engaged in a similar line of business to the corresponding measures of the Company. We also consider the combined carrying values of our reporting units to our market capitalization.
If the carrying value of our reporting unit is higher than its fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and the second step must be performed to measure the amount of impairment. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill calculated in the same manner as if the reporting unit were being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value, we would record an impairment charge for the difference.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars. The Company has bank accounts in foreign currency. The balance of these bank accounts were translated from its local currency (British Pounds) into the reporting currency, U.S. dollars, using period end exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments were recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Revenues and expenses were translated using weighted average exchange rate for the period.
Transaction gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions were recorded as foreign exchange gains or losses in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company did not enter into any financial instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Transactions from some of the bank accounts were from the entity that is being reflected as discontinued.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2013 and 2012
Reclassifications
To conform prior period amounts to current year classifications, the Company has reclassified assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses associated with the disposal of Endeavor UK to discontinued operations. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s previously reported financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During July 2013, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”)”. The objective of ASU 2013-11 is to clarify the financial presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2013-11 will have a significant impact on the presentation of its financial statements.
Note 3 Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
Consulting Agreements
Effective May 13, 2013, the Company entered into a 2 year consulting agreement with the manager of Mesh; this individual will assist with all aspects of the acquired patent portfolio, including, among other things, maintenance of inventions, patent prosecutions and applications related to the patents. This individual will be paid $7,000 per month. The agreement is subject to cancellation.
In connection with consulting services performed, the Company agreed to issue 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock which shall be earned in full on the date that the Company’s annual report on form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2013 will be filed.
Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company actively pursues legal remedies to enforce its intellectual property rights and to stop unauthorized use of its technology. Other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, the Company knows of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against the Company, nor is the Company involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation.
Following is a summary of our litigation efforts:
We, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Endeavor Energy, Inc. (“Endeavor Energy”), filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Tucson Electric Power Company in the United States District Court of Arizona, Case No. 4:13-CV-2396-TUC-RCC. Endeavor Energy is asserting claims of patent infringement related to U.S. Patent No. 7,366,201 (the ‘201 patent), entitled “Remote Access Energy Meter System and Method.” The lawsuit alleges that the defendant has infringed, and continues to infringe, the claims of the ‘201 patent.

October 31, 2013 and 2012
Endeavor Energy also brought a patent infringement lawsuit against Con Edison Solutions, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (13 CV 6528). Endeavor Energy, Inc. is asserting claims of patent infringement related to U.S. Patent No. 7,336,201 (the ‘201 patent), entitled “Remote Access Energy Meter System and Method.” The lawsuit alleges that the defendant has infringed, and continues to infringe, the claims of the ’201 patent.
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Endeavor MeshTech, Inc. (“Endeavor MeshTech”) filed patent infringement lawsuits against two defendants in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The two defendants are Itron, Inc. and Elster Solutions, LLC, Case Nos. 1:13-cv-01343-and 1:13-cv-01344, respectively. Endeavor MeshTech, Inc. is asserting claims of patent infringement related to U.S. Patent No. 7,379,981 (the ‘981 patent), entitled “Wireless Communication Enabled Meter and Network.” The lawsuits allege that the defendants have infringed, and continue to infringe, the claims of the ’981 patent.
Endeavor MeshTech also filed patent infringement lawsuits against two additional defendants in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The two defendants are Aclara Technologies, Inc. and Sensus USA, Inc., 1-13-cv-01618 and 1-13-cv-01627, respectively. Endeavor MeshTech is asserting claims of patent infringement related to U.S. Patent No. 7,379,981 (the ‘981 patent), entitled “Wireless Communication Enabled Meter and Network.” The lawsuits allege that the defendants have infringed, and continue to infringe, the claims of the ’981 patent.
Note 4 Acquisition
On May 13, 2013, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary IP Acquisition Sub I, Inc. purchased certain intellectual property rights from Mesh under the terms of a patent purchase agreement.
Under the terms of the asset purchase from Mesh, in exchange for $800,000 and a 20% royalty on future net revenues associated with enforcement activities, Endeavor acquired from Mesh two U.S. patents and one pending patent application relating to wireless communication networks, as well as all right, title and interest in all related causes of actions and other enforcement rights under or on account of any of such acquired patents. Endeavor assumed all obligations of Mesh under that certain license agreement between Mesh and a third party licensor. Endeavor will now include these assets in its financial statements from the date of acquisition going forward.
For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Company paid $10,000 in royalties, which is recorded as a component of cost of revenues.
The acquisition of these assets, deemed to be a business, resulted in a business combination under ASC No. 805
“Business Combinations”
, and the recording of intangible assets (patent portfolios).
The following table summarizes the purchase consideration for the Mesh acquisition:

The fair value of all stock issued above was based upon the agreed upon value per share on the day of issuance, which represented the best evidence of fair value.
(1)
|
Shares vest one year from issuance. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Company recognized $12,485 in compensation expense which is included in general and administrative expenses. The remaining balance of deferred compensation of $14,755 will be amortized over the vesting period.
|
(2)
|
Shares are fully vested. At the time of issuance, the Company lacked an active public trading market; therefore, a quoted closing trading price valuation would not best reflect the intent of the parties in connection with the valuation of these shares. Due to the lack of past, present or future specified financial or other operational data for the patents acquired; that could support a valuation in excess par, the Company believes this is the best evidence of fair value for this transaction.
|
(3)
|
In October 2013, the Company settled $25,000 of accounts payable for 47,619 valued at $40,477 ($0.85). The fair value of this stock award was based upon the quoted closing trading price.
|
In May 2013, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer cancelled 84,000,000 shares of common stock having a fair value of $8,400 ($0.0001/share – par value) for $10, with an offset to additional paid in capital. The $10 is included in accounts payable.
On September 3, 2013, the Company executed a 14 for 1 forward stock split. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to the earliest period presented.

Note 8 Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company is in the development stage with minimal operations, used cash in operations of $405,233 and has a net loss for the year ended October 31, 2013 of $818,247. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
Revenues have been insufficient to achieve positive cash flows. The Company’s plan to sustain operations include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, such as term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur additional liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.
The Company will most likely require the additional funding to finance the growth of its current operations, as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash, along with anticipated revenues, may be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company.

Note 9 Income Tax Provision
At October 31, 2013, ENDEAVOR IP had net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forwards for Federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $918,000 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2033. No tax benefit has been reported with respect to these net operating loss carry-forwards in the accompanying consolidated financial statements because ENDEAVOR IP believes that the realization of ENDEAVOR IP’s net deferred tax assets of approximately $376,000 were not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are fully offset by a valuation allowance.
Deferred tax assets consist primarily of the tax effect of NOL carry-forwards. ENDEAVOR IP has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets because of the uncertainty regarding its realizability. The valuation allowance increased approximately $307,700 and $47,500 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
