PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS.
Corporate History
Swordfish Financial, Inc., (f/k/a Photo
Control Corporation (1959-2004) and Nature Vision, Inc. (2004-2009)) (the “Company”, “we” or “us”)
was incorporated as a Minnesota corporation on August 19, 1959. On August 31, 2004, the Company changed its name to
Nature Vision, Inc. in connection with a merger transaction with Nature Vision Operating Inc. (f/k/a Nature Vision, Inc.) a Minnesota
corporation that was incorporated in 1998. As a part of the merger, Nature Vision Operating Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company. Upon the merger with Swordfish Financial, Inc., a Texas corporation on August 17, 2009, the shareholders of the
Company owning a majority of the outstanding common stock voted to change the Company’s name to Swordfish Financial, Inc. Our
executive offices are located 6125 Airport Freeway; Suite 211 Haltom City, TX 76119; our telephone number is (817) 845-6244; and
our website is swordfishfinancial.com.
1
Business Operations
Effective December 2012, the Company
changed its business focus to the pursuit of the acquisition of Internet media companies which provide services to home entertainment
and cable business.
The Company believes that the Internet’s direct connection
to homes has provided the opportunity to build out an infrastructure that is uniquely suited to deliver high quality, high definition
(HD), standard definition (SD) and creatively produced TV and Radio networks with programming at a dramatically reduced price to
the network creators, TV and movie producers and of course subscribers. We believe that these programs could benefit the growing
community who have recognized the sincere demand for quality, entertaining, and family friendly and clean moral lifestyle.
Management believes that acquisitions in this “space”
could compete with the major cable systems by providing alternative programming that the cable community does not provide and does
not desire to provide, especially when combined with the top networks that the cable community does provide. Such acquisitions
could function as an addition to the present cable system in homes or as a standalone subscription service.
Letter of Intent With iPoint Television
Effective February 13, 2013, the Company entered into a Letter
of Intent to acquire iPoint Television, LLC (“iPoint”). The Letter of Intent sets forth the framework pursuant to which
the Company, iPoint and certain of its members will enter into a Share Exchange Agreement pursuant to which it is contemplated
that the Company will exchange shares of common and preferred stock providing the members of iPoint majority voting control over
the Company for over 90% of the outstanding ownership interests of iPoint. The result of the transaction will be that the members
of iPoint (or certain of such members) will become the Company’s majority shareholders and iPoint will become a majority
owned subsidiary of the Company. The parties plan to enter into a definitive Share Exchange Agreement, provided that the closing
of the acquisition is subject to certain closing conditions, including conditions typical of acquisitions of this type and size.
iPoint Television, also known as iPoint TV, is a Smart media and entertainment company, which holds development licenses from Apple,
Android, Google, Roku, Kindle and most every smart device. iPoint is a full service Internet Protocol television (IPTV), media
Entertainment Company which develops applications for mobile and TV smart devices. The Company previously suspended its acquisition
of I-Point TV, and re announced the acquisition on January 19
th
, 2014 and management anticipates the acquisition closing
in the second quarter of 2014.
Information Regarding Planned Industry
According to a report by Multimedia Research
Group, Inc. (“MRG”) from June 2010, the number of global IPTV subscribers (i.e., those subscribers who receive TV and
similar programming via the Internet) will grow from 41.2 million at the end of 2010 to 101.7 million in 2014, a compound annual
growth rate of 25.3%. According to the same June 2010 MRG report, the global IPTV market was approximately $17.5 billion
in 2010 and is forecasted to grow to approximately $46 billion by 2014, a compound annual growth rate of 27%.
Dependence On One Or A Few Major Customers
Currently the Company does not have any
customers.
2
Intellectual Property
The Company does not currently own any
patents or trademarks.
Need For Governmental Approval and Effect of Existing
or Probable Governmental Regulation
Our currently planned operations and
our former operations are not subject to significant government regulations or approval other than those regulations applicable
to businesses generally.
Employees
As of December 31, 2013, we had
three employees, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Acting Chief Financial Officer and Chief Technology Officer.
Competition
The market for television and television
related hardware and programming (and to a lesser extent, the market for entities which operate in the television industry) is
vast and diverse. Numerous well-established companies, many of which have substantially greater financial, managerial and other
resources than those presently available to the Company, are focusing significant resources on providing services that currently
compete with and will compete with the Company's planned products and services. These companies range from the smallest
one person firms, to large multinational companies that offer a diverse, broad, and more generic set of products and services.
Compliance with Environmental Laws
We believe that we are not subject to
any material costs for compliance with any environmental laws.
Item 1A: RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock is
highly speculative, and should only be made by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment in us. You should carefully
consider the following risk factors and other information in this report before deciding to become a holder of our common stock.
If any of the following risks actually occur, our business and financial results could be negatively affected to a significant
extent. The below risk factors do not include any risks related to our planned acquisition of iPoint and/or our planned
IPTV operations (which risks we may be subject to in the future) and we plan to include risk factors regarding such additional
risks at such time, if ever, as we acquire iPoint or other IPTV assets or operations.
We Have Future Capital Needs And Without Adequate
Capital We May Be Forced To Cease Or Curtail Our Business Operations.
As of December 31, 2013, we had no assets,
no cash on hand, and total liabilities of $6,690,453 and a total accumulated deficit of $11,382,275. For the years ended
December 2013 and 2012, we had no revenue and a net loss of $669,988 and $1,763,847, respectively. As such, we will
need to raise substantial additional capital to pay our liabilities and for any acquisition that we may undertake in the future.
3
Our growth and continued operations could
be impaired by limitations on our access to capital markets. The capital available to us, if any, may be
inadequate for our long-term growth and to support our operations. If financing is available, it may involve issuing
securities senior to our common stock. In addition, in the event we do not raise additional capital from conventional
sources, such as our existing investors or commercial banks, there is every likelihood that our growth will be restricted and we
may be forced to scale back or curtail implementing our business plan, or seek bankruptcy protection, which could cause any investment
in the Company to become worthless.
We Have Been Contacted In Connection With Various
Merger And Acquisition Opportunities And May Enter Into A Merger, Acquisition Or Similar Transaction In The Future.
We have been contacted by parties seeking
to merge in us and/or acquire us and our securities, including in connection with the Letter of Intent with iPoint as described
above. We have no definitive agreements in place to merge with or acquire or be acquired by any entity or individual at this time
(other than the Letter of Intent, which is preliminary). In the event that we do enter into and/or consummate a transaction,
merger and/or acquisition with a separate entity or individual(s) in the future, our majority shareholders will likely change and
new shares of common or preferred stock could be issued resulting in substantial dilution to our then current shareholders. As
a result, our new majority shareholders may change the composition of our Board of Directors and replace our current management.
The new management will likely change our business focus and we can make no assurances that our new management will be able to
properly manage our direction or that this change in our business focus will be successful. If we do enter into a transaction,
merger or acquisition, and our new management fails to properly manage and direct our operations, we may be forced to scale back
or abandon our operations, which will cause the value of our common stock to decline or become worthless. Additionally, as a result
of any transaction we may take on significant additional debt or liabilities and/or take on the obligations of any entities or
individuals we enter into transactions with.
Our Auditor Has Raised Substantial Doubt As To Whether
We Can Continue As A Going Concern.
We have generated no revenues during
the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. We incurred net losses of $669,988 in 2013 and $1,763,847 in 2012 and had an accumulated
deficit of $11,382,375 as of December 31, 2013. We have managed our liquidity during the fourth quarter of 2013 and
the first quarter of 2014 through cost reduction initiatives and the proceeds from the sale of common stock and issuances of convertible
notes. The Company was in default on notes payable and outstanding judgments totaling $1,691,421 and $1,022,060 respectively,
as of December 31, 2013. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate
to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placement, public offerings
and/or bank financing necessary to support the Company’s working capital requirements. To the extent that the
funds borrowed from our management or generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient
to support the Company’s working capital requirements, the Company will have to raise additional working capital from additional
financing. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms
acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available, the Company may not continue its operations.
These factors among others raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, particularly in the event
that we cannot obtain additional financing and/or attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty and if we cannot continue as a going concern,
your investment could become devalued or even worthless.
We May Be Negatively Affected By Prior And Future
Litigation, Including Judgments Or Settlements.
4
From time to time, we are involved in
lawsuits and may be involved in other legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of our business. Many of these matters
raise difficult and complicated factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties and complexities. The timing of the final
resolutions to these types of matters is often uncertain. Additionally, the possible outcomes or resolutions to these matters could
include adverse judgments or settlements, either of which could require substantial payments, adversely affecting our results of
operations and liquidity. As discussed below under “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” and Notes 5 and 11 to the
financial statements included herein, we are currently in default in connection with the payment of various judgments which have
been rendered against us in the past in legal proceedings, totaling over $1 million, which we do not currently have sufficient
funds to satisfy. Our failure to satisfy currently owed judgments and/or any future litigation the Company is involved
in may have a material adverse effect on our operations, cash flow (if any) and may result in us being forced to cease our operations
and/or seek bankruptcy protection, the result of which will be that any investment in the Company will become worthless.
We Face A Risk Of A Change In
Control Due To The Fact That Our Current Officers And Directors Do Not Own A Majority Of Our Outstanding Commons Stock.
Our
current officers and directors hold no shares of our voting stock. As a result, our officers and directors do not exercise majority
voting control over us and our shareholders who are not officers and directors of us may be able to obtain a sufficient number
of votes to choose who serves as our directors. Because of this, the current composition of our Board of Directors may change in
the future, which could in turn have an effect on those individuals who currently serve in management positions with us. If that
were to happen, our new management could affect a change in our business focus and/or curtail or abandon our business operations,
which in turn could cause the value of our securities, if any, to decline in value or become worthless.
The Success Of The Company Depends Heavily On Clark
Ortiz K. Bryce Toussaint, and Noel Trevino And Their Industry Contacts.
The success of the Company will
depend on the abilities of Clark Ortiz, President, Chief Executive Officer and director, K. Bryce Toussaint, director and
Acting Chief Financial Officer, and Noel Trevino , Chief Technical Officer and director to generate business from their
existing contacts and relationships. The loss of Mr. Ortiz, Mr. Toussaint or Mr. Trevino will have a material
adverse effect on the business, results of operations (if any) and financial condition of the Company. In
addition, the loss of Mr. Ortiz, Mr. Toussaint or Mr. Trevino may force the Company to seek a replacement who may have less
experience, fewer contacts, or less understanding of the business. Further, we may be unable to find a suitable
replacement for Mr. Ortiz, Mr. Toussaint or Mr. Trevino, which could force the Company to curtail its operations and/or cause
any investment in the Company to become worthless. The Company does not have an employment agreement with Mr.
Ortiz, Mr. Toussaint or Mr. Trevino.
Our Officers And Directors Lack Experience In And
With The Reporting And Disclosure Obligations Of Publicly-Traded Companies.
While we rely heavily on Mr. Ortiz,
Mr. Toussaint and Mr. Trevino, they lack experience in and with the reporting and disclosure obligations of publicly-traded companies
and with serving as an officer or director of a publicly-traded company. Such lack of experience may impair our ability to maintain
effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, which may result in material misstatements
to our financial statements and an inability to provide accurate financial information to our stockholders. Consequently, our operations,
future earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to our officers and directors ultimate lack of
experience in our industry and with publicly-traded companies and their reporting requirements in general.
5
Our Growth Will Place Significant Strains On Our Resources.
The Company is currently in the planning
stage, with only limited operations, and is currently seeking out potential acquisition targets and sources of revenue, and has
not generated any revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012. The Company's growth, if any, is expected to place a
significant strain on the Company's managerial, operational and financial resources as Mr. Ortiz, Mr. Toussaint and Mr. Trevino
are our only officers and employees; and the Company will likely continue to have limited employees in the future. In the future,
the Company may be required to manage multiple relationships with various parties and these requirements will be exacerbated in
the event of further growth of the Company. The Company's systems, procedures or controls may not be adequate to support the Company's
operations or the Company may be unable to achieve the rapid execution necessary to successfully offer its services and implement
its business plan. The Company's future operating results, if any, will also depend on its ability to add additional personnel
commensurate with the growth of its business, if any. If the Company is unable to manage growth effectively, the Company's business,
results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.
Spam Emails Referencing The Company Were Previously
Disseminated By Third Parties.
In October 2011, we were notified by
OTC Markets Group that certain spam-emails containing information about our Company and our securities, which information may have
been false and misleading, was being disseminated over the internet by third parties. Spam-emails, investor relation campaigns
and stock promotional activities, which are not associated with or sanctioned by the Company could lead to an artificial spike
in the trading price of our common stock, could be associated with third parties trying to artificially inflate the price of and
trading volume of our common stock and could furthermore result in a sharp and precipitous decline in the value of our common stock
once such unauthorized stock promotional activities have ceased. Investors are encouraged not to rely on any emails,
reports or other marketing materials touting the Company or our prospects, which are not approved by and/or paid by the Company.
Our Limited Operating History Makes It Difficult To
Forecast Our Future Results, Making Any Investment In Us Highly Speculative.
We have a limited operating history,
and our historical financial and operating information is of limited value in predicting our future operating results. We
may not accurately forecast customer behavior and recognize or respond to emerging trends, changing preferences or competitive
factors facing us, and, therefore, we may fail to make accurate financial forecasts. Our current and future expense
levels are based largely on our investment plans and estimates of future revenue. As a result, we may be unable to adjust
our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, which could then force us to curtail or cease
our business operations.
Our Industry Is Highly Competitive And We Face Significant
Competition For Our Services.
The market for television and television
related hardware and programming (and to a lesser extent, the market for entities which operate in the television industry) is
vast and diverse. Numerous well-established companies, many of which have substantially greater financial, managerial and other
resources than those presently available to the Company, are focusing significant resources on providing services that currently
compete with and will compete with the Company's planned products and services. These companies range from the smallest
one person firms, to large multinational companies that offer a diverse, broad, and more generic set of products and services.
In the event that the Company cannot effectively compete on a continuing basis or competitive pressures arise, such inability to
compete or competitive pressures will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and
financial condition.
6
We Have Incurred, And Expect To Continue To Incur,
Increased Costs And Risks As A Result Of Being A Public Company.
As a public company, we are
required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX, as well as rules and regulations implemented by the SEC.
Changes in the laws and regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions of SOX and rules adopted by the SEC,
have resulted in, and will continue to result in, increased costs to us as we respond to these requirements. Given the risks
inherent in the design and operation of internal controls over financial reporting, the effectiveness of our internal
controls over financial reporting is uncertain. If our internal controls are not designed or operating effectively, we may
not be able to issue an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting as required or we or our independent
registered public accounting firm may determine that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. In
addition, our registered public accounting firm may either disclaim an opinion as it relates to management’s assessment
of the effectiveness of our internal controls or may issue an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls
over financial reporting. Investors may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could cause the
market price of our common stock to decline and which could affect our ability to run our business as we otherwise would like
to. New rules could also make it more difficult or more costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage
or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the coverage that is the same or similar to our current coverage. The impact of
these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of
Directors, our board committees, and as executive officers. We cannot predict or estimate the total amount of the costs we
may incur or the timing of such costs to comply with these rules and regulations.
We Have Not Issued Cash Dividends In Connection With
Our Common Stock And Have No Plans To Issue Dividends In The Future.
We have paid no cash dividends on our
common stock to date and it is not anticipated that any cash dividends will be paid to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable
future. While our dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of our business, it is anticipated
that any earnings will be retained to finance our future expansion.
Investors May Face Significant Restrictions On The
Resale Of Our Common Stock Due To Federal Regulations Of Penny Stocks.
Our common stock will be subject to the
requirements of Rule 15g-9, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act as long as the price of our common stock is below $5.00
per share. Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and
accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an individualized
written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's consent prior to the transaction. The Securities
Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, also requires additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving
a stock defined as a penny stock. Generally, the Commission defines a penny stock as any equity security not traded on an exchange
or quoted on NASDAQ that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The required penny stock disclosures include the delivery,
prior to any transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. Such requirements
could severely limit the market liquidity of the securities and the ability of purchasers to sell their securities in the secondary
market.
In addition, various state securities
laws impose restrictions on transferring "penny stocks" and as a result, investors in the common stock may have their
ability to sell their shares of the common stock impaired.
7
Shareholders May Be Diluted Significantly Through
Our Efforts To Obtain Financing And Satisfy Obligations Through The Issuance Of Additional Shares Of Our Common Stock.
We have no committed source of financing.
Wherever possible, our Board of Directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances,
we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock or preferred stock. Our Board
of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares
of common stock. In addition, if a trading market develops for our common stock, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares
of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing
shareholders, may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. Such issuances may also serve to enhance
existing management’s ability to maintain control of the Company because the shares may be issued to parties or entities
committed to supporting existing management.
Because We Are Not Subject To Compliance With Rules
Requiring The Adoption Of Certain Corporate Governance Measures, Our Stockholders Have Limited Protections Against Interested
Director Transactions, Conflicts Of Interest And Similar Matters.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well
as rule changes proposed and enacted by the SEC, the New York and American Stock Exchanges and the Nasdaq Stock Market, as a result
of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed
to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities that are listed on those exchanges
or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and
because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with such compliance any sooner than legally required,
we have not yet adopted these measures.
Because our directors are not independent
directors, we do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees. As a result, our directors have the ability to,
among other things, determine their own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless
of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without
protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and any potential investors
may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.
We intend to comply with all corporate
governance measures relating to director independence as and when required. However, we may find it very difficult or be unable
to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management
as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules
and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased
personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it more costly or deter qualified individuals from accepting these
roles.

Minnesota Law And Our Articles Of Incorporation Authorize
Us To Issue Shares Of Stock, Which Shares May Cause Substantial Dilution To Our Existing Shareholders.
We have authorized capital stock consisting
of 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value
per share. As of the date of this Report, we have 843,399,545 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and zero – shares
of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. As a result, our Board of Directors has the ability to
issue a large number of additional shares of common stock without shareholder approval, which if issued could cause substantial
dilution to our then shareholders. Additionally, shares of Preferred Stock may be issued by our Board of Directors without
shareholder approval with voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and
powers as determined by our Board of Directors, which may be greater than the shares of common stock currently outstanding. As
a result, shares of Preferred Stock may be issued by our Board of Directors which cause the holders to have super majority voting
power over our shares, provide the holders of the Preferred Stock the right to convert the shares of Preferred Stock they hold
into shares of our common stock, which may cause substantial dilution to our then common stock shareholders and/or have other rights
and preferences greater than those of our common stock shareholders. Investors should keep in mind that the Board of Directors
has the authority to issue additional shares of common stock and Preferred Stock, which could cause substantial dilution to our
existing shareholders. Additionally, the dilutive effect of any Preferred Stock, which we may issue may be exacerbated
given the fact that such Preferred Stock may have super majority voting rights and/or other rights or preferences which could provide
the preferred shareholders with voting control over us subsequent to this offering and/or give those holders the power to prevent
or cause a change in control. As a result, the issuance of shares of common stock and/or Preferred Stock may cause the
value of our securities to decrease and/or become worthless.
We Do Currently Have A Limited Public Market For Our
Securities, Which Is Volatile And Illiquid.
There is currently only a limited public
market for our common stock, which trades on the OTC Pink market maintained by OTC Markets, under the trading symbol “SWRF”.
However, there may not be a public market for our common stock in the future. If the market for our common stock continues in the
future, we anticipate that such market will be illiquid and will be subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors,
including, but not limited to:
(1)
|
actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations;
|
(2)
|
our ability or inability to generate revenues;
|
(3)
|
the number of shares in our public float;
|
(4)
|
increased competition; and
|
(5)
|
conditions and trends in the market for our future services and products.
|
Furthermore our stock price may be impacted
by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic,
political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect
the market price of our common stock.

Item 2. PROPERTIES.
The Company currently maintains its executive
office in leased property at 909 Independence Parkway, Southlake, Texas 76092 on a month to month basis.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Various creditors previously brought
suit for collections of their claims against the Company and the Company owes approximately $1,066,755 in judgments on various
legal proceedings, which liabilities are recorded on the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s previously
completed legal proceedings and amounts due in connection therewith are described in Notes 5 and 10 to the financial statements
included in this report.
From time to time, we may become party
to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently
involved in legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial
condition or results of operations; provided that we do not currently have sufficient funds to satisfy our outstanding judgments
as described above. We may become involved in material legal proceedings in the future.
Item 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.

The Company's
common stock is considered a "penny stock" as defined in the Commission's rules promulgated under the Exchange Act (the
“Rules”). The Commission's rules regarding penny stocks impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers
who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally persons with net worth
in excess of $1,000,000, exclusive of residence, or an annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse).
For transactions covered by the rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive
the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Thus the Rules affect the ability of broker-dealers to
sell the Company's shares should they wish to do so because of the adverse effect that the Rules have upon liquidity of penny
stocks. Unless the transaction is exempt under the Rules, under the Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act
of 1990, broker-dealers effecting customer transactions in penny stocks are required to provide their customers with (i) a risk
disclosure document; (ii) disclosure of current bid and ask quotations if any; (iii) disclosure of the compensation of the broker-dealer
and its sales personnel in the transaction; and (iv) monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held
in the customer's account. As a result of the penny stock rules, the market liquidity for the Company's securities may be severely
adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's securities and the ability of purchasers of
the securities to resell them.
Dividends
We have not paid any dividends on our
common stock to date and do not anticipate that we will be paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends
on our common stock in the future will be dependent upon the amount of funds legally available, our earnings, if any, our financial
condition, our anticipated capital requirements and other factors that our Board of Directors may think are relevant. However,
we currently intend for the foreseeable future to follow a policy of retaining all of our earnings, if any, to finance the development
and expansion of our business and, therefore, do not expect to pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
Additionally, the terms of our preferred stock impose restrictions on our ability to pay dividends.
Common Stock
The total number of authorized shares
of our common stock is 3,000,000,000 shares, $0.0001 par value per share.
Each share of our common stock is entitled
to equal dividends and distributions per share with respect to the common stock when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors.
No holder of any shares of our common stock has a preemptive right to subscribe for any of our securities, nor are any shares of
our common stock subject to redemption or convertible into other securities. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the
Company, and after payment to our creditors and preferred shareholders, if any, our assets will be divided pro rata on a share-for-share
basis among the holders of our common stock. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on all shareholder matters..
Shares of our common stock do not possess any cumulative voting rights.
Preferred Stock
The total number of authorized shares
of our preferred stock is 50,000,000 shares, $0.0001 par value per share.
Shares of preferred stock may be issued
from time to time in one or more series, each of which shall have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined
by our Board of Directors (“Board of Directors”) prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. Preferred
stock shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional
or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in such resolution or
resolutions providing for the issuance of such class or series of preferred stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Board
of Directors prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. The number of authorized shares of preferred stock may be
increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of
a majority of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election
of the directors, voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the preferred stock, or any series
thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to any preferred stock Designation.
11
Equity Compensation Plan Information

Item 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Not required for smaller reporting issuers.
Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion and analysis
of financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties, including information with respect to the plans, intentions and strategies for our businesses.
The actual results may differ materially from those estimated or projected in any of these forward-looking statements.
As described above, the Company is currently
pursuing an acquisition in the IPTV industry, provided that the Company provides no assurances that such acquisition will be successful,
that the Company will have adequate funding to complete such acquisition, or that such acquisition, if completed, will not cause
significant dilution to existing shareholders.
Results of Operations For the Year Ended December
31, 2013 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2012
Revenue
We did not generate any revenues during
either the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012. We do not anticipate generating any revenues until such time,
if ever, as we are able to successfully complete an acquisition in the IPTV space and until such acquisition generates revenues.
Net Loss
The Company recognized a net loss of
$669,988 and $1,763,847 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in net
loss was due to the increase in general and administrative expenses and the increase in interest expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We
had $0 of total assets as of December 31, 2013.
12
We had total liabilities of $6,690,493
as of December 31, 2013, consisting solely of current liabilities and including, $441,421 of notes payable (described in greater
detail in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements attached hereto), $1,250,000 of notes payable – affiliate
(described in greater detail in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements attached hereto), $1,066,755 of judgments
payable (described in greater detail in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements attached hereto), $438,782 of current
portion of deferred retirement benefits (described in greater detail in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements attached
hereto), $822,182 of accounts payable, $149,185 of advances from shareholders, and $ 2,261,743 of accrued expenses (described
in greater detail in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements attached hereto).
Operating Activities
Cash flows used in operations totaled
$293,500 and $282,017 in fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Investing Activities
Cash flows used for investing activities
were $0 and $0 in fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Financing Activities
In
2013, the Company raised $ $293,500 from the issuance of debt instruments.
The Company owes $290,000 to its former
Chief Executive Officer. This promissory note is unsecured and has an interest rate of 15% per annum. The note matured
on August 17, 2010.
The Company owes $1,250,000 to a former
member of its Board of Directors (who resigned on August 17, 2009). The demand promissory note is unsecured and
bears an interest rate of 15% per annum. The entire principal and interest was payable upon demand on August
17, 2010.
The Company owed approximately $105,000
to a judgment creditor who has obtained a receivership. In February 2012, the receiver’s judgment was purchased
by a third party, who converted the debt into 76,836,110 shares of the Company’s common Stock.
The Company is obligated on an additional
$1,066,755 in judgments that it is also in the process of negotiating settlements for at such time as the Company has funds available
from operations and or other financing sources to satisfy such judgments.
The Company
has an accrued obligation of $591,315 relating to a research and development consulting agreement with an outside entity that exists
from the period prior to the merger/acquisition agreement. The agreement had two components requiring monthly installments
of $14,583 for research and development services and $8,333 for product support services. At December 31, 2013, the
amount remaining to be accrued on the agreement was $0, as such the Company recognized $0 in expenses under this obligation for
the year ended December 31, 2013.
The Company has an accrued obligation
of $166,911 relating to a research and development consulting agreement with an outside entity that exists from the period prior
to the merger/acquisition agreement. The agreement has two components for monthly installments of $5,000 for research
and development services and $4,166 for product support services. At December 31, 2012, the amount remaining to be accrued
on the agreement was $0, as such the Company recognized $0 in expenses under this obligation for the year ended December 31, 2013.
13
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of
assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We incurred net losses of $669,988 and $1,763,847
for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $11,382,375 as of December 31,
2013.
We have managed our liquidity during
the fourth quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014 through the sales of common stock, issuance of debt and advances from
shareholders.
Despite the cost reduction initiatives,
the Company will be unable to pay its obligations in the normal course of business or service its debt in a timely manner
throughout 2014 without raising additional debt and/or equity capital.
We had negative working capital of $6,690,493
and a total accumulated deficit of $11, 382,375 as of December 31, 2013. We also had no cash on hand and $6,690,493
in current liabilities as of December 31, 2013.
The Company has experienced losses from
operations that raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will need to raise
additional funding to complete its business plan and pay its liabilities as described above. If the Company is unable
to raise adequate working capital it will be restricted in the implementation of its business plan and may be forced to abandon
its business plan or seek bankruptcy protection. As of the date of this report, we anticipate needing approximately
$500,000 of additional financing to support our operations over the next approximate 12 months.
Moving forward, we plan to seek out
additional debt and/or equity financing to pay costs and expenses associated with our filing requirements with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and to affect our plan of operations (as described above); however, we do not currently have any specific
plans to raise such additional financing at this time. The sale of additional equity securities, if undertaken by the
Company and if accomplished, may result in dilution to our shareholders. We cannot assure you, however, that future financing
will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case we may be unable to meet our obligations and we may cease operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
As of December 31, 2013, there were no
off-balance sheet arrangements, unconsolidated subsidiaries and commitments or guaranties of other parties.
Critical Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements are based on the selection and application of United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”),
which require estimates and assumptions about future events that may affect the amounts reported in these financial statements
and the accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination
of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may
be material to the financial statements. We believe that the following accounting policies may involve a higher degree of judgment
and complexity in their application and represent the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements.
If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from reported results.
14
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The adoption of
the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company.
Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation
S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller
reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY
DATA
See Financial Statements beginning on
page F-1.
Item 9. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation
of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered
by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes
that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving
the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there
are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls
and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on our evaluation, our Principal
Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after considering the existence of material weaknesses identified, determined
that our internal control over financial reporting disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2013.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that
our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and (iii)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets
that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
15
Because of its inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management, including our Principal Executive
Officer and Principal Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.
We identified the following deficiencies
which together constitute a material weakness in our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2013:
|
o
|
The Company has inadequate segregation of duties within its cash disbursement control design.
|
|
|
|
o
|
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company internally performed all aspects of its financial reporting process, including, but not limited to the underlying accounting records and record journal entries and responsibility for the preparation of the financial statement due to the fact these duties were performed often times by the same people, a lack of review was created over the financial reporting process that might result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC. These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
|
|
|
|
o
|
The Company does not have a sufficient number of independent directors for its board and audit committee. We currently have no independent director on our board, which is comprised of three directors, and we do not have a functioning audit committee. As a publicly-traded company, we should strive to have a majority of our Board of Directors be independent.
|
|
|
|
|
The Company is continuing the process
of remediating its control deficiencies. However, the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that has been
identified will not be remediated until numerous internal controls are implemented and operate for a period of time, are tested,
and the Company is able to conclude that such internal controls are operating effectively. The Company cannot provide assurance
that these procedures will be successful in identifying material errors that may exist in the financial statements. The Company
cannot make assurances that it will not identify additional material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting
in the future. Management plans, as capital becomes available to the Company, to increase the accounting and financial reporting
staff and provide future investments in the continuing education and public company accounting training of our accounting and financial
professionals.
It should be noted that any system
of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide
only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are
met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because
of these and other inherent limitations of control system, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving
its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
This annual report does not include an
attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's
report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.
16
We regularly review our system of internal
control over financial reporting to ensure we maintain an effective internal control environment. There were no changes in our
internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Corporate Governance
The Company promotes accountability for
adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports
and documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications
made by the Company; and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. The Company has not
formally adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that governs the Company’s employees, officers and directors
as the Company is not required to do so.
19
In lieu of
an Audit Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors, is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning
the selection of outside auditors, reviewing the scope, results and effectiveness of the annual audit of the Company's financial
statements and other services provided by the Company’s independent public accountants. The Board of Directors reviews the
Company's internal accounting controls, practices and policies.
Committees of the Board
Our Company currently does not have nominating,
compensation, or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our Company have a written nominating, compensation
or audit committee charter. The Board of Directors believes that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because
the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the directors.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our Board of Directors has determined
that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an "
audit committee financial expert
" as defined in Item
407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a Board member that qualifies as "
independent
" as the term is used
in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(14)
of the FINRA Rules.
We believe that our directors are capable
of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.
The directors of our Company do not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because management believes that the
functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by the Board of Directors. In addition, we believe that retaining an
independent director who would qualify as an "
audit committee financial expert
" would be overly costly and burdensome
and is not warranted in our circumstances given the stage of our development and the fact that we have not generated any positive
cash flows from operations to date.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Our directors and
our executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:
1.
|
any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
|
2.
|
any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
|
3.
|
being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or
|
4.
|
being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.
|
20
Board Meetings and Annual Meeting
During the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2013, our Board of Directors held 5formal meetings. We did not hold an annual meeting in 2013. All
of our directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board of Directors.
Code Of Business Conduct And Ethics
Each of the Company’s directors
and employees, including its executive officers, are required to conduct themselves in accordance with ethical standards set forth
in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics adopted by the Board of Directors. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
was previously filed as Exhibit 14.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2005. Any amendments to or waivers from the code will be posted on our website. Information on our website does not
constitute part of this filing.
Shareholder Proposals
Our Company does not have any defined
policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The Board of Directors
believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until
our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our Company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria
for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such
nominees. The Board of Directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations
for election or appointment.

Item 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL
OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
The following table sets forth certain
information as of May 2, 2013 with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock, by (i) each stockholder known to be
the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the outstanding common stock of the Company (based solely on the Company’s record shareholders
list as of May 2, 2013, and Schedule 13D’s and Section 16 reports filed with the SEC), (ii) each executive officer and director,
and (iii) all executive officers and directors as a group.
Beneficial ownership has been determined
in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Under this rule, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by
more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition,
shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire shares (for example, upon exercise
of an option or warrant) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership
of any person, the amount of shares is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person by reason of such
acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the following table does not necessarily
reflect the person’s actual voting power at any particular date.
We believe that, except as otherwise
noted and subject to applicable community property laws, each person named in the following table has sole investment and voting
power with respect to the shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by such person. Unless otherwise indicated, the address
for each of the officers or directors listed in the table below is 909 Independence Parkway, Southlake, Texas 76092.

Item 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS, RELATED
TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
Former Officer and Director Loans to Company
On August 14, 2009, the Company closed
a Stock Purchase/Merger Agreement with Swordfish Financial, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Swordfish Texas”), pursuant
to which the Company sold an aggregate of 109,874,170 shares of its common stock in exchange for a $3,500,000 promissory note,
payable in two installments of $1,750,000 each with the first installment being due forty-five (45) days from the date of the note
and the second installment being due one-hundred twenty (120) days from the date of the note. The note accrued interest
at the rate of 5% per annum. No payments were ever made on the promissory note.
Effective September 30, 2012, the Company
and Swordfish Texas entered into a Mutual Termination of Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”),
whereby the parties agreed that the Company was in breach of the August 14, 2009, Stock Purchase/Merger Agreement; Swordfish Texas
agreed to return the 109,874,170 shares of common stock which were issued to various affiliates of Swordfish Texas (mainly our
former Chief Executive Officer, Michael Alexander); and the parties agreed to release each other from any and all claims and causes
of actions that they had in connection with the transaction.
The Company’s former Chairman
of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael Alexander, who does not currently hold any positions with the Company, became
beneficial owner of 77,000,000 shares of the 109,874,170 shares of the Company's common stock distributed in the stock purchase/merger
transaction.
In July 2008, the Company amended the terms and replaced
the original $1,000,000 demand note issued to Richard P. Kiphart, a then member of its Board of Directors (Mr. Kiphart resigned
on August 17, 2009), in October 2007. The demand promissory note is unsecured and bears an interest rate of 15% per
annum. The amendment to the note extended the maturity date to August 17, 2010. Interest is payable on the first day
of each month. The entire principal and interest is payable upon demand any time after August 17, 2010. The
Company paid no interest and accrued approximately $189,000 of interest on this note during the year ended December 31, 2012 and
paid $75,000 in accrued interest during December 31, 2013.
24
On August 17,
2009, the Company borrowed $200,000 from a former member of the Board of Directors in order to meet its short-term cash flow requirements.
This demand promissory note is secured by a second lien on the Company’s assets and has an interest rate of 15% per annum. The
entire principal and accrued interest is payable upon demand any time after February 17, 2010. The Company paid no
interest and accrued $30,000 and $59,000 of interest on this note during the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013,
respectively.
On August 18, 2010, the Company borrowed
$50,000 from a former member of the Board of Directors in order to meet its short-term cash flow requirements. This demand promissory
note is secured by a second lien on the Company’s assets and has an interest rate of 15% per annum. The entire
principal and accrued interest is payable upon demand 180 days from the date of the note. At any time prior to the maturity
of the note, the noteholder has the option to convert the note principal and accrued interest into the Company’s common stock
at $0.10 per share. The Company paid no interest and accrued $20,000. of interest on this note during each of the years
ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013.
There are no other
related party transactions that are required to be disclosed pursuant to Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.
Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions
Given our small size and limited financial
resources, we have not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions, such as
those described above, with our executive officers, directors and significant stockholders. We intend to establish formal
policies and procedures in the future, once we have sufficient resources and have appointed additional directors, so that such
transactions will be subject to the review, approval or ratification of our Board of Directors, or an appropriate committee thereof. On
a moving forward basis, our directors will continue to approve any related party transaction.
Director Independence
We do not have an audit, compensation
or nominating committee, but our entire Board of Directors acts in such capacities. Although our directors are not considered
as “independent directors” pursuant to the provisions of Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K, we believe that the members
of our Board of Directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls
and procedures for financial reporting. The Board of Directors of our Company does not believe that it is necessary
to have an audit committee because we believe that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by the Board
of Directors. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee
financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages
of our development.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REFERENCE TO THE COMPANY
References to “we”, “us”, “our”,
“Swordfish” or the “Company” in these notes to the consolidated financial statements refer to Swordfish
Financial, Inc., a Minnesota corporation.
REVERSE MERGER ACQUISITION ACCOUNTING
Swordfish Financial, Inc., (a Texas corporation), acquired
80% of the outstanding common stock of Nature Vision, Inc. pursuant to a stock acquisition/merger agreement on August 14, 2009.
Based on a review of these factors, the August 2009 stock acquisition agreement with Swordfish Financial, Inc., the merger was
accounted for as a reverse acquisition (i.e. Nature Vision, Inc. was considered as the acquired company and Swordfish Financial,
Inc., was considered as the acquiring company). As a result, Nature Vision, Inc.’s assets and liabilities as of
August 14, 2009, the date of the Merger closing, have been incorporated into Swordfish’s balance sheet based on the fair
values of the net assets acquired. Further, the Company’s operating results (post-Merger) include Swordfish Financial, Inc.,
operating results prior to the date of closing and the results of the combined entity following the closing of the Merger. Swordfish
Financial, Inc. Also as a result of the merger the Company changed its name from Nature Vision to Swordfish Financial, Inc.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Swordfish Financial, Inc., (f/k/a Nature Vision, Inc. and
Photo Control Corporation) (the “Company” or “we”) as Nature Vision, Inc. previously designed, manufactured
and marketed outdoor recreation products primarily for the sport fishing and hunting markets.
The Company did not meet the minimum net worth covenants
of a line of credit with M&I Business Credit LLC (M&I Bank) as of June 30, 2009, which put the Company in default on the
line of credit. On August 14, 2009, simultaneously with the signing of the Swordfish Financial, Inc., the Texas corporation,
Stock Purchase/Merger Agreement (described above) M&I Business Credit LLC, which was owed approximately $1,800,000 by the Company,
foreclosed on the line of credit and forced the Company to enter into a Voluntary Surrender Agreement. The Voluntary
Surrender Agreement gave M&I Bank total possession of the Company’s premises, its operations and all of the Company’s
collateral, which consisted of all of Nature Vision’s assets. M&I Bank liquidated basically all of the Nature
Vision assets to recover the line of credit debt.
Based on the limited assets, product lines and resources
remaining after the M&I Bank liquidation, the Company determined that there was not enough remaining of the Nature Vision operations
to continue as an outdoor recreations products company and decided to concentrate on the business on being an asset recovery company
and using the financial resources recovered to retire the Company’s debts and invest in other businesses domestically and
internationally.
Effective in approximately December 2012, the Company decided
to discontinue its efforts on being an asset recovery company and changed its business focus to the pursuit of the acquisition
of Internet media companies which provide services to home entertainment and cable business.
F - 6
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts for all financial instruments approximate
fair value. The carrying amounts for accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity
of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt, contract payable and deferred liabilities - retirement benefits approximates
the carrying amounts based upon the Company’s expected borrowing rate for debt with similar remaining maturities and comparable
risk.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company maintains its cash balances in various area banks.
Cash balances are insured up to $250,000 per bank by the FDIC. The balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The
Company defines cash and cash equivalents as highly liquid, short-term investments with a maturity at the date of acquisition of
three months or less. At December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company had no cash equivalents.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Management assesses the impairment of long-lived assets whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic
"Property, Plant and Equipment." An asset or asset group is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds
the undiscounted future net cash flow the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If an asset or asset group is
considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds
its fair value. If estimated fair value is less than the book value, the asset is written down to the estimated fair
value and an impairment loss is recognized.
If management determines that the carrying amount of long-lived
assets, including intangible assets, may not be recoverable, an impairment is measured based on a projected discounted cash flow
method using a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model
or another valuation technique. Considerable management judgment is necessary in estimating future cash flows and other
factors affecting the valuation of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, including the operating and macroeconomic factors
that may affect them. We use historical financial information, internal plans, and projections and industry information
in making such estimates.
DEPRECIATION
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation
for leasehold improvements is provided for using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or useful life. Depreciation
for property and equipment is provided for using the straight-line method over useful lives ranging from three to seven years.
Improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred.
F - 7
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants
to employees and non-employees in capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for
share-based payments under the guidance as set forth in the Share-Based Payment Topic 718 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification,
which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, officers,
directors, and consultants, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. The Company estimates the fair value
of share- based payment awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using an option-pricing model, and the value of
the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in the
Company's Statements of Operations. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees
in accordance with Topic 718 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, whereby the value of the stock compensation is based
upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) the date at
which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Stock-based compensation is based on awards ultimately
expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, as necessary,
in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss per common share was based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the periods when computing the basic net loss per share. When dilutive, stock options
and warrants are included as equivalents using the treasury stock market method when computing the diluted net loss per share. The
total number of dilutive common stock equivalents, options and warrants, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, totaled
121,571,429 and 0 respectively.
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation
of liabilities in the normal course of business. We incurred net losses of $ 669,988 in 2013 and $1,763,847 in 2012
and had an accumulated deficit of $ 11,382,375 as of December 31, 2013. We have managed our liquidity during the fourth
quarter of 2013 and first part of first quarter of 2014 through cost reduction initiatives and the proceeds from the sale of common
stock and issuances of convertible notes. The Company remains in default on notes payable and outstanding judgments
totaling $1,691,421 and $1,066,755 respectively, and expects to repay the notes payable, judgments and accrued interest plus all
of its other liabilities from the proceeds derived from the operations of acquired companies, the sale of stock, or a combination
of both.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
As
of December 31, 2013, The Company has outstanding four (4) Security Purchase Agreements with accredited investors for the sale
of convertible promissory notes bearing interest at 8.0% per annum. Pursuant to the convertible promissory notes the investor
may convert the amount paid towards the Securities Purchase Agreements into common stock of the Company at a conversion price
equal to 50% of the average of the 3 lowest volume weighted average trading prices during the 10 day period ending on the latest
complete trading day prior to the conversion date. Trading price means the closing bi
d price on the OTC Market Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board Pink Sheets.
The conversion rights embedded
in the 8% Notes are accounted for as a derivative financial instruments because of the down round feature of the conversion price. The
beneficial conversion feature was valued at the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes-Merton options pricing model with the
following assumptions: risk free interest rates ranging from .11%, contractual expected life of nine (9) months, expected
volatility of 236%, calculated using the historical closing price of the Company’s common stock, and dividend yield of zero,
resulting in fair market value.

The change in the valuation allowance was $737,003and $282,789
for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. There was an 80% change in ownership control in 2009 making
it highly unlikely that subject to limitations set forth in Internal Revenue Code 382, the Company will be able to carry forward
any benefits of the deferred tax assets created before the change in ownership.
The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent
upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management
considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, historical taxable income including available net operating loss
carryforwards to offset taxable income, and projected future taxable income in making this assessment.
The Company has federal and state net operating losses of
approximately $11,383,000 available at December 31, 2013 which, if not used, will begin to expire in 2025. Future changes in the
ownership of the Company may place limitations on the use of these net operating losses.
The federal and state tax returns are open to examination
for the years 2007-2013
NOTE 10 - DEFERRED RETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company had a retirement benefit agreement with past
employees. Under the agreements, covered individuals become vested immediately upon death or if employed at age 65. Benefit costs
were recognized over the period of service and recorded as accrued retirement benefits. The total accrued balance due was $438,782
at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has a $591,315 obligation relating to a research
and development consulting agreement with an outside entity that exists from the period prior to the merger/acquisition agreement. The
agreement had two components requiring monthly installments of $14,583 for research and development services and $8,333 for product
