PART I
Overview
The modern world of communications technology is an arena of constant and rapid evolution. There is no greater evidence of this change than in the accelerating adoption of sophisticated wireless devices to streamline and facilitate the exchange of voice and data communication. Over the past two decades, we have witnessed the successive introduction of hardwired cellular phones, handheld “dumbphones”, the handheld Palm™ computers and then a revolution with the advent of the BlackBerry® smartphone followed by the iPhone® and a myriad of similar devices utilizing the Android™ smartphone platform developed by Google©. During the last few years, we have seen the emergence and incredible growth of tablet technologies led by Apple’s iPad®, Research in Motion’s Playbook™, and a variety of tablet devices utilizing the Android™ and Windows Mobile™ mobile operating systems.
Wireless devices are changing how people communicate and exchange information. The wireless revolution has brought about monumental changes to global politics, to the scale and complexity of social interaction, to the accessibility of information and has simplified consumer transactions such as banking, advertising and the buying and selling of goods and services.
Smartphone and wireless tablet devices are now being discovered by business and government as transformational tools for the collection, transfer and utilization of information and for streamlining business-to-business (B2B) transactions. The adoption of wireless technologies, and in particular of wireless tablet devices, is expected to far exceed the use of conventional PC’s over the next five years.
It is in this rapidly changing business environment that GroveWare has positioned itself. GroveWare’s products are uniquely suited to helping companies, governments and institutions gather and exchange data. In an environment where all commercial and government entities are seeking to find cost-saving and efficiency-gaining productivity tools, the increasingly sophisticated smartphone and tablet hardware can now be paired with GroveWare’s software to generate productivity enhancements on a level not seen since the advent of micro-computers over 30 years ago.
GroveWare provides Commercial Off-the Shelf–based (COTS) SmartForm, advanced workflow technology and mobile solutions for automating and mobilizing business processes at the enterprise level. Such technology greatly helps organizations to move away from “paper-based” operations to smart, dynamic, mobile electronic “e-forms,” thus enabling enterprises to achieve operational efficiencies by extending their enterprise ERP functions from the “back office” to a “field application” seamlessly.
Our company specializes in the rapidly-growing Mobile Business Process Management (BPM) marketplace. It has developed an advanced e-form-centric mobile application, “MobiTask™” for all of the mainstream wireless operating systems used by smartphones and tablets such as: Apple iOS®, Android™, BlackBerry® and Windows™. GroveWare’s MobiTask™ is a single platform application compatible with all wireless devices such as: iPhone®, iPad®, Samsung Galaxy®, BlackBerry® Playbook™, etc. and employs a powerful core technology that has helped our company to become a leader in the field of “Rapid Mobile Application Development” for enterprises.
GroveWare believes it is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the transformation that is currently taking place in the enterprise space, i.e. the massive shift from laptops to wireless tablets devices and the rush to develop productivity applications for enterprise use.
GroveWare’s eXFORMA™ middleware and MobiTask™ client applications are at the heart of the solution offered. It is a process automation platform that can be configured to dynamically capture data utilizing web-based forms integrated with a sophisticated workflow engine. The application is delivered on thin client mobile devices. The system resides on numerous industry-standard back-end databases and is supported by flexible reporting capabilities.

In 2012, Groveware’s relationship with its channel partner VerizonWireless (VZ) grew substantially, and the two companies collaborated closely to acquire new customers. By year end 2012, there were more than 50 new pilot projects in the works, and over 20 new customers were fully deployed using MobiTask. Groveware currently has solutions for clients in construction vertical, such as HVAC service companies, electrical contractors, general contractors, pipeline construction, environmental services, property management, and manufacturing and professional services. The public sector is quickly becoming an important vertical for Groveware. MobiTask solutions for federal, state, and local authorities such as law enforcement, inspection, investigation, and emergency response are adding new sources of revenue for the company. These new sources of clientele are expected to bring significant revenue to our company for 2013.
GroveWare’s Products
Responding to the growing demand for such solutions, we have developed unique technologies with a simple mission: to become best of the breed in enterprise-level mobile computing by developing a solution that provides a device-agnostic, robust data-transfer engine with a simplified end-user experience.

2. | MobiTask™ is the only wireless client application compliant with all smartphones and tablets including: iPhone®, iPad®, BlackBerry®, BlackBerry® Playbook™, Samsung Galaxy®, Motorola Xoom™, Windows Mobile™, and Tablet PCs. MobiTask™ mobilizes employee tasks in the field and connects them wirelessly directly to the organization’s enterprise applications. MobiTask™ allows organizations to rapidly deploy mobile solutions for workers on the go. MobiTask™ provides the convenience of using DYNAMIC e-FORMS to collect field data, manage workflow tasks wirelessly, store documents locally and integrates seamlessly with most ERP systems and back-end databases. |
MobiTask™ is a one-of-a-kind data and task management, and process automation solution. MobiTask™ provides a unified platform on the smartphone or tablet for extending workflow tasks from multiple enterprise software applications (ERP systems) to a single mobile client application (MobiTask™).
MobiTask™ operates from a Unified Mobile Dashboard, with bi-directional communication, allowing field employees to complete, or initiate workflow tasks, and capture field data using dynamic electronic forms and incorporating device capabilities including signature capture, photographs, bar code scanning, and GPS time and geolocation data. MobiTask™ is fast and works both within and outside areas covered by wireless signals. The use of mobile tablet devices is expanding exponentially as enterprise and government discover the uses of the MobiTask™ platform for data gathering, site inspection, and remote reporting applications.
The unique design of the MobiTask™ application allows a wireless user “Single Sign-On” access to view, initiate and approve workflow tasks from multiple, different enterprise applications simultaneously. For example, a manager can HR tasks such as “Time and Attendance” and payroll approvals originating from Kronos, as well as expense, procurement or sales/order tasks originating from a separate financial system such as Oracle eBusiness all from the same screen. A user can also initiate new tasks such as service requests, time stamps and time sheets or download company brochures, price lists, etc. from SharePoint, populate site inspections reports, customer service reports, inventory status reports, etc. using the same sign-on from the same device, all within a highly application fully integrated with the organizations back-end systems and with the highest degree of data integrity and enterprise-level security.
3. | eXFORMA Mobile is the portable version of the eXFORMA BPM Suite. Built for laptops and tablet PCs, this product is a complete mobile data collection and field-work solution. This fully equipped platform integrates seamlessly with eXFORMA web-based users, and its secure storage and live real-time communication capabilities means that mobile users will always have the most accurate and up-to-date information at their disposal. |

It is this real-time connectivity of eXFORMA BPM Suite that gives this mobile product its edge. E-forms and workflow processes modeled on eXFORMA are fully integrated with the mobile worker’s tablet PC application, allowing them to complete tasks from anywhere as if they were in the office. With this level of integration, a change done by a web-based user from the office will affect the mobile worker instantly, and managers back at the office can print real-time, up-to-the-minute reports to see exactly the status of the mobile employee.
eXFORMA Mobile has offline or online capabilities, and the ability to update data remotely, automatically eliminating the downtime and cost of bringing workers in from the field. It makes data collection from the field efficient, easy and cost effective. Like all of the Company’s products, this incredible mobile platform truly supports a unified environment for fully integrated information management.
eXFORMA Mobile is a very powerful mobile tool for businesses who wish to increase their field employee’s productivity. eXFORMA Mobile is user friendly and allows for a seamless transition from paper to digital field data collection. The ease of use and incredible GroveWare technology behind this product make it one of the top mobile data collection solutions available on the market today for any organization.
Sales and Marketing – GroveWare’s Channel Partner Strategy
We have recently been through a transformation, evolving from a focus on technology development to an orientation as a sales and marketing organization, and beginning the monetization of years and millions of dollars committed to research and development. We have streamlined our operations with a focus on efficiency and profitability, while positioning our company with the expertise and technological capabilities to exploit the burgeoning market potential. We have realigned our marketing strategy to focus primarily on MobiTask™ and the delivery of the solution to large and mid-market enterprise clients and to the government, institutional and healthcare sectors.
We, through the auspices of an affiliate, are a vendor of IT services to the United States government under Schedule IT-70 of the US General Services Administration (GSA# GS 35F-0642V). This greatly facilitates the purchase capability of federal, state and local government by eliminating the need for product certification and public tender.
Additionally, we have joined ranks with Verizon Wireless (www.verizonwireless.com) as a Business Solutions Alliance Partner receiving the certification and endorsement of Verizon to its nationwide enterprise customer base. Verizon’s enterprise sales organization intends to use the GroveWare solution to encourage greater wireless enterprise usage and expansion of its wireless sales opportunities. Our management believes that, primarily through the active promotion by the over 5,000 strong Verizon sales and technical sales organization, its MobiTask™ subscription sales will expand rapidly through this carrier channel to almost 50,000 per year by 2015.
We also enjoy the support of some of the largest hardware and enterprise software providers. Our company is a Research in Motion® Technology Partner, an authorized Apple iOS®, Android™ and Windows Mobile™ developer, and has ongoing partnerships with HP™, Oracle®, Kronos©, Samsung® amongst other leaders in the mobility and enterprise space.
With these strategic partnerships, management believes that we are positioned for significant revenue growth. The strategy behind this approach is to leverage off of each partners’ market leadership. Apple® is the largest single tablet device manufacturer in the world. iPad® is dominating the tablet market and leading the charge into the enterprise use of these devices. Samsung is the largest consumer electronics company in the world with the largest global share of Android-based smartphone and tablet sales. RIM is still the world leader in enterprise, Smartphone technology. Oracle is the largest software company in the world and Verizon is America’s largest wireless telecommunications carrier. As a channel partner with all of these companies, GroveWare is extremely well situated to rapidly expand its presence in the mobile enterprise marketplace.
We, both directly utilizing our own sales organization, and indirectly through the Verizon carrier channel, aim to target Verizon’s current clients and future prospects. By targeting specific companies which are common Verizon clients of Oracle®, Microsoft®, RIM® and/or Apple®, we believe we can leverage current client investments and promote greater customer productivity and return on investment through the use of MobiTask™.
6 |
We have spent the last two years developing and perfecting the MobiTask™ and eXFORMA products which combine to create a market-leading enterprise-based mobile platform. We are now bringing our application to a very receptive market and need capital to support the rapid growth in sales expected to materialize with the combined efforts of our growing in-house sales and support organization, and the new business referrals being produced by Verizon and others.
To support this revenue expansion and to continue to enhance and develop its product offerings, we will need to raise capital, and intend to explore various alternatives to secure a minimum investment of $2,000,000 (maximum $5,000,000) in the form of subordinate debt or equity financing.
GroveWare’s Market Opportunity
The age of Information Technology had promised to bring about an era of paperless, virtual offices. Yet today most businesses and government agencies continue to be burdened by the inefficiency of paper -based processes. These archaic, manual transactions still exist in spite of a myriad of information technologies, chaining professionals to their desks in fear of failing to deliver on critical business needs/decisions within an acceptable amount of time. The continued reliance on paper and desk-bound activity resulted largely from the challenges associated with remote connectivity to the enterprise (i.e. the need for expensive laptop computers, a reliable internet connection and sophisticated VPN connectivity just to access and manage the most basic of enterprise functions).
The convergence of the Internet, tablet computing and wireless smartphones and tablets will greatly enhance the growth and productivity of the world’s mobile workforce. These mobile workers, electronically-linked to their offices by cell phones, laptops, and handheld devices, (and now with the additional emergence of wireless tablets such and the iPad®, Playbook™, Galaxy® etc.), now comprise over 40% of the knowledge workforce. They are on the road, working closer to the customer, and telecommuting from home and all other points between the corporate office and the client environment. They are high-value employees, yet their time-productivity is often still minimized as they are forced to return to their offices to complete routine tasks such as signing off on documentation, approving tasks and collecting and transferring important business information.
There is clearly a business need to effectively and efficiently manage and support the mobile workforce. Specifically, there is a need to provide workforce management capabilities to all workers, regardless of their location or environment. Yet IT resources and budgets are already stretched as companies try to deliver more with less. Solutions must leverage existing infrastructure to support an increasingly diverse workforce. GroveWare’s products provide a ready, timely and cost-effective response to these needs.
While working in the field is nothing new, according to both International Data Corp. and AT&T, the North American workforce today includes more than 60 million mobile workers. That number is projected to grow with an annual 10-15% increase as telecommuting options evolve with the explosive growth rate in the use of smartphones and other wireless devices.
Businesses of all sizes are looking to mobile technology to boost productivity. A survey by the Advanced Technology Alliance revealed 65% of businesses believe mobile technology can help them to better compete and 55% are looking to mobile solutions in key departments or across the entire organizations. Organizations are recognizing the importance of mobile technology in delivering business value, increasing operational efficiency and cutting costs.
Our market research and intelligence from Kronos, Oracle, RIM and Verizon sales representatives reveal that millions of organizations are looking for the same thing: a more efficient, secure and cost-effective way to process their workforce management tasks for mobile workers. It is a common trend that crosses the boundaries of industry sectors and extends to government, healthcare, non-for-profit institutions. An increasingly mobile workforce requires increasingly-sophisticated and robust mobile solutions. These organizations are ready to make such an investment because the resulting cost/time efficiencies produce an attractive return on investment and assist productivity gains during a period of time complicated by budget cuts and staff reductions.

We have already established partner relationships with major North American carriers and major hardware manufacturers. These relationships are critical for jump-starting the selling of wireless-based business solutions through these carriers. Currently, we are working with national and regional sales teams in the USA, particularly focused with Verizon Wireless’ four area data solution teams. The first phase was started during 2011 with our training the Advance Solution Architects within Verizon.
We saw significant progress in training VerizonWireless sales teams. Our commitment to our channel partner to train their sale teams awarded Groveware a strategic position with VerizonWireless. We were able to reach out to over 1,000 sales executive over 2012 with our in-person and online training. These efforts are expected to be doubled in 2013, with more effective training tools and techniques. We are in process to re-launch Groveware solution with each vertical, complete with vertical focus solutions, enhanced marketing materials, web presences, and daily social media feed targeting the sales teams and customers.
Targeting B2B Verticals:
We will be recruiting and deploying a roster of sales consultants to market our software products and professional services and to provide support to our carrier and hardware partners’ B2B sales teams and the marketing initiatives in various business verticals. We will assist in delivering the MobiTask™ business solution. Our solution is a “horizontal play,” designed to be adaptable for all industry sectors, and sophisticated enough to be quickly customizable at a very low cost.
The following verticals are currently being served with fully-implemented solutions or have deployed test and trial initiatives:
· | Enterprise: Field Force automation |
· | SMB (small and medium enterprises) for field force automation |
· | Federal and state government departments for inspections, licensing, surveys, investigative functions |
· | Education |
· | Health Care |
· | Armed forces |
· | Construction - HVAC service, electrical, plumbing, and sub-contractors |
· | Insurance |
· | Financial |
· | Professional Services |
· | Services industries |
· | Transportation |
Our objective is to use our wireless technology leadership to distinguish our company amongst other business software technology providers. We are actively looking to leverage our infrastructure to deliver unique productivity solutions and to promote itself to business clients, large and small, and to any organization looking for ways to leverage their existing technology investments and to deliver business value by way of increased productivity and profitability. MobiTask™ is a unique solution that appeals to all types of commercial and institutional clients. Our ability to provide access to mission critical enterprise applications from anywhere, anytime, from any mobile device has quickly becoming a critical, and distinctive, business advantage. Customers are rapidly recognizing the productivity potential of such a solution and are finally and aggressively adopting a more coordinated and comprehensive mobile strategy.
Our valued channel partner, Verizon Wireless, has already delivered dozens of key introductions to many of their major clients. Over the past few months, we have commenced an association with a very large number of clients and potential clients implementing both production and trial solutions. GroveWare and Verizon Wireless are currently co-operating with over 100 new client initiatives including potential customers ranging from small plumbing and HVAC contractors to the U.S. Army and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. GroveWare’s initial introduction to Verizon Wireless was orchestrated by Research in Motion (BlackBerry®) and this partnership has rapidly developed to the level that Verizon now represents the most significant component of GroveWare’s near-term “go-to-market” strategy (as more-fully described below).

GroveWare’s Partner Strategy
As noted above, “Channel Partnering” is an essential aspect of our “Go-to-Market” success strategy. We partner with technology companies to ensure that our products are fully compliant with and take advantage of the best hardware features available in the market. We partner with telecom carriers to ensure that our market reach extends into every vertical, is well-designed, and well-executed. We partner with implementation specialists to ensure that our solutions are tailored to meet the needs of our clients and those of our partners. We partner with customers to deliver the best possible product and support to their business processes.
The GroveWare “Open Alliance Program” is our framework for managing relationships with technology companies, carriers and implementation partners. It uses industry best practices to build partnerships that deliver predictable support across a wide range of opportunities – and establishes a basis for long term mutual success for itself and all partners.
In today’s Smartphone & Tablet marketplace, mobile solutions, especially those targeted to enterprise customers are the product of collaboration across many different types of companies. Providers of platform technologies (i.e. operating systems such as Apple’s iOS®, Android™, Windows™, QNX® ), Smartphone and tablet manufacturers such as Apple®, Samsung®, BlackBerry®, Microsoft®, Motorola™, Fujitsu©, Panasonic© and carriers like Verizon Wireless, ATT and Sprint, are each service providers that help customers to deploy technology addressing business requirements, and finally, companies like GroveWare that design and deploy the unique software that links all these providers together, thus delivering a meaningful value proposition to the end user.
The GroveWare Open Alliance Program is designed to address the present B2B market reality. Our Company program reaches out to different types of technology companies, hardware manufacturers, carriers and implementation partners to enable them to partner seamlessly with GroveWare and with each other. This ensures that we work concurrently and cohesively to meet the needs of the customer.
With our partners, we are looking to establish and maintain the market reach, domain expertise, technological and business innovation and cost efficiencies that only leveraging strong partnerships can provide. We are committed to attracting and managing the right relationships with technology and service firms in a structure that creates a long-term and mutually-profitable relationship. We have partnered with Verizon Wireless, and multiple key hardware vendors to provide integrated solutions to each client.
These relationships provide us with access to a larger client base and increase the market exposure of our technology. In exchange, we provide the technology and applications that partners can use to deliver complete enterprise solutions to their clients. The use of MobiTask™, for example, provides Verizon the ability to offer a full-scale wireless solution to their clients that they would otherwise not be able to provide which, in turn, increases Verizon’s competitive position and drives revenues.
The benefits of a partnership with GroveWare to current and future partners include:

The benefits of a partnership to us include:
In order for MobiTask™ to reach the marketplace quickly and efficiently, we determined our need for high profile channel partners. Channel partners can move products to market faster and more cost-efficiently than we could ever achieve independently. Furthermore, each channel partner has the service, support and systems in place to ensure a high degree of customer satisfaction. However, to take advantage of these marketing channels, and to manage more than the existing channels, we require a significant additional investment in partner infrastructure (specifically, dedicated business development and sales/customer support staff) to make it expedient for partners to work with us.
We have identified 4 essential channel partner categories for our go-to-market strategy: (i) carrier partners; (ii) system integrators (iii) technology partners and (iv) hardware partners. Within each of these categories, we have developed, and are continuing to develop, strategic relationships with a variety of partners like Verizon Wireless, Apple®, RIM®, Samsung®, and Oracle®. In each of these relationships, our role will be to provide our core technologies i.e. eXFORMA BPM Suite, Mobile Task Manager and MobiTask™ as ‘Out-of-the Box” solutions that compliment each partner’s offerings and provides them with incremental revenue opportunities. RIM® does not sell to any of its client directly; all BlackBerry® devices are sold through carriers such as Verizon Wireless, ATT, Sprint, and 500 other carriers worldwide. Applications on smartphones are built and delivered by mobile solution ISV partners, either direct to clients, or through carrier partnerships. Our strategy to partner with telecommunications carriers is intended to take full advantage of the existing carrier relationship with its customers, by providing a unique mobile product that delivers a value-added solution to the catalogue of carrier data plans and applications.
Competition
In order to fully comprehend our competitive position, first we need to understand the market that we are competing in and the capabilities of competing players in that particular market. MobiTask provides a unified platform for e-forms, workflow, e-docs, and time and attendance (time sheets) applications on ALL smartphones and ALL tablets thus extending enterprise applications to mobile users via its eXFORMA server-side BPM Suite. In other words, we provide solutions both for the WEB via smart dynamic electronic forms that are instantly extendable to any wireless smartphone or tablets i.e. build once and deploy everywhere, to any device: iPhone®, iPad®, BlackBerry®, Playbook™, Android™, Galaxy®, Motorola, Windows Mobile™, and Tablet PCs.

The competitive landscape for our products and technologies is highly fragmented. There are many companies that support a single area of the business. For example, some specialize in web forms applications, other just workflow engines, while other competitors are platform-based. The latter includes major software and technology development companies, mobile software providers, and many more. There are many companies which provide custom-made solutions on their platform, and there are others that are focused on industry-specific verticals. There are many and diverse products in the market with a wide range of capabilities that can be used as platforms for building business process solutions, but are designed to be used only on an internal network or on the web. In this category of “build and deploy,” we compete with software publishers of electronic forms and workflow. The competition in electronic forms includes major players such as IBM (Filenet e-forms - just recently discontinued), Adobe (Adobe PDF forms server), Oracle Forms and Microsoft (Infopath) as well as many smaller players. In the workflow space market there are again many major players including Microsoft, IBM and BEA.
With our flagship MobiTask product, we encounter competition in two areas at the platform level, with companies such as Dexterra and Pyxis Mobile which have similar server platforms as GroveWare’s eXFORMA allowing connectivity to back-end applications with a wireless client application. As well, there are companies that provide only Mobile forms with limited capabilities. In these categories there are Pronto Forms, Canvas, Actsoft, Formotus. The key differentiating factor and competitive advantage we enjoy is that MobiTask is focused on solutions which are end-to-end with full and simple integration to ERP systems such as KRONOS, Oracle, SAP and PeopleSoft, or any proprietary ERP, and are capable of managing a limitless variety of workflow tasks, whether related to field level work management, HR functions, financial transactions etc.
A common theme throughout the industry, and amongst our competitors, is that a complete BPM solution is available only through the exhaustive and expensive building and assembling of many different components and modules, such as a separate studio to build electronic forms, a different application to build workflows, and then a web application to host and manage the BPM solution. Our eXFORMA BPM Suite, however, is an all-in-one platform and there is “no assembly required.” This differentiating factor drastically narrows the competitive field. That field is further reduced when we understand how simple and quickly eXFORMA’s can be integrated with the enterprise’s “back-end” or an existing ERP system. Our eXFORMA’s ability to integrate with any major ERP system makes the product best of the breed and highly competitive.
MobiTask is a one-of-a-kind data collection, workflow task management, and process automation solution. We have developed industry-specific solutions as well as vertical-specific solutions. Our solutions are highly desirable with government’s diverse need for mobilizing and automating all types of inspection, licensing and field data collection applications. In response to this need, our MobiTask application has significant competitive advantages since it is highly flexible, highly adaptable to all types of departmental or agency needs, and more importantly, is comparatively inexpensive and can be installed and operational within two or three weeks versus other custom made solutions that are very expensive and typically take many months, if not years, to develop and deploy.
In the construction industry, or in service industries such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical etc., we compete with industry-specific applications with specific task capabilities that may or may not have a mobility component. We provide customers a wide range of task solutions from a single application, which can operate on many different devices and can be easily customized to suit the specific needs of the client. We have a superior solution for delivering a mobile work order management solution with workflow, complete with a time and labor module, and e-docs.
Our solution also allows the customer to adapt their paper-based processes to a mobile environment, with the business process information captured in a real time transaction. Customers can leap forward from a paper-based business into twenty-first century business processes technology in a single step, thereby generating enormous operational and financial efficiencies. MobiTask provides a unified platform on the smartphone or tablet for extending workflow tasks from multiple client-side enterprise software applications on a single client interface. MobiTask users can execute tasks or initiate new ones simultaneously on any application such as Oracle® e-Business Suite™, PeopleSoft™, SharePoint™ and Kronos® Workforce Central™.

Government Approval and Regulation
Our products are subject to government regulation in many areas, including user privacy, telecommunications, data protection, and more. The application of these laws and regulations to our business is often unclear and sometimes may conflict. It may take years to determine whether and how existing laws such as those governing intellectual property, privacy, advertising, and others will apply. Nonetheless, laws and regulations directly applicable to the Internet, communications, commerce and advertising are becoming more prevalent. Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is possible that laws and regulations may be adopted covering issues such as user privacy, content, quality of products and services and much more. Further, the growth and development of the market for e-commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws, both in the United States and abroad, which may impose additional burdens on companies conducting business online. Compliance with these regulations may involve significant costs or require changes in business practices that result in reduced revenue. Noncompliance could result in penalties being imposed on us or orders that we stop the alleged noncompliant activity.
Currently, we do not need government approval in connection with our products or services.
Employees
As of the date of this Annual Report, we have one full-time employee, Mr. Hrair Achkarian.
Corporate History
On April 6, 2012, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with GroveWare Technologies Ltd., a privately held Delaware corporation (“GroveWare”) and ePhoto Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of our company (“Acquisition Sub”), pursuant to which GroveWare merged with and into Acquisition Sub (the “Merger”) with the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State on April 9, 2012 and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the closing an aggregate of 21,500,000 shares of the our common stock were issued to the holders of GroveWare’s common stock in exchange for their shares of GroveWare. Each of us, GroveWare and Acquisition Sub provided customary representations and warranties, pre-closing covenants and closing conditions in the Merger Agreement.
Immediately following the closing of the Merger Agreement, under the terms of an Assignment of Assets Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”), we transferred all of our pre-Merger assets and liabilities (the “Split-Off”) to our former officer and director, Yong Feng Sara Yi, and shareholder, Namuun Ganbaatar, in exchange for certain indemnifications, waivers and releases, along with the cancellation of an aggregate of 5,600,000 shares of our common stock and the cancellation of related party loans in the amount of $39,154.
Currently, we do not own any real estate. Our principal executive offices are located at 1006 - 20 Eglinton Ave. W., Toronto, Ontario, Canada M4R 1K8. Our current leased facility is in its last year of a 5 year contract (expires December 31st 2013). We believe we will be looking to move from our current facility in 2014. We believe that our properties are adequate for our current needs, but growth potential may require larger facilities due to anticipated addition of personnel. We do not have any policies regarding investments in real estate, securities or other forms of property.

Penny Stock
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.
Holders of Our Common Stock
As of April 16, 2013, we had 61,500,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 20 shareholders of record, not including those held in street name.
Dividends
We currently intend to retain future earnings for the operation of our business. We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
In the event that a dividend is declared, common stockholders on the record date are entitled to share ratably in any dividends that may be declared from time to time on the common stock by our board of directors from funds legally available.
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that restrict us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
1. | We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or |
2. | Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities, plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution. |

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
On July 9, 2012, our Board of Directors adopted the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility with us, to provide additional incentive to employees, directors and consultants, and to promote our success. Under the Plan, we may issue up to an aggregate total of 33,000,000 incentive or non-qualified options to purchase our common stock. As of December 31, 2012, we have not issued any options under the Plan.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
Revenues
We generated $140,418 in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared with $109,024 for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Our revenues for all periods resulted primarily from the provision of professional services and user subscriptions to smaller enterprises and from proof-of-concept and trial installations with several state and federal government agencies.
As the company more fully implements its sales and marketing plan during the first half of 2013, we expect that our business model will generate revenue from four primary sources:
1. License Sales - eXFORMA BPM Server and MTM Server license as well as per seat licenses for MobiTask, eXFORMA and MTM.
License fees are expected to be generated from traditional, paid-up software licenses primarily sold as a result of referral from non-carrier partners and from leads generated by our inside sales team. Software license fee revenue is projected to grow from approximately $25,000 in 2012 to $390,000 by 2015. The average enterprise software license fee for eXFORMA is $49,000 per server installation. MTM is sold as a combination server component and per user license. The average server cost is $8,000 per implementation and $120-$150 perpetual license per MobiTask seat.
15 |
2. License Subscription Sales – Primarily through the carrier channel, annual and multi-year subscriptions provide us with recurring revenue based on a monthly per user fee.
During the next twelve months, the U.S. outbound Business Development Managers will primarily support and develop leads initiated or referred through the carrier relationship, initially Verizon Wireless, but anticipated to expand to the other major U.S. carriers and wireless hardware providers. Monthly software license fees are targeted at $19.99 to $24.99 per user based on a two year subscription. We are currently negotiating with Verizon to have these fees collected by the carrier together with its other wireless charges and remitted to us monthly en masse. Initially, we expect monthly subscription sales to be minimal, with the hope of $2,000 monthly by the end of Q4 of 2013.
Gross revenues from carrier channel subscription sales are projected to grow rapidly to $2.6 million in 2013 and increasing to in excess of $11.4 million by 2015. Management believes that these numbers are very conservative given the size of the carriers’ enterprise customer base and the overall market potential.
3. Support Fees - Annual recurring revenue from maintenance, subscription fees, seat upgrades and product support services.
Recurring revenue is expected to be generated from annual technical support and maintenance fees (including seat upgrade fees) and service fees. Recurring revenue from these sources is projected to grow from approximately $15,000 in 2012 to slightly less than $80,000 by 2015. Technical Support and Maintenance fees will apply to the traditional paid-up licenses, calculated at a rate of 20% of the license fees. The subscription fees will apply to the hosted model and will be earned based on the number of seats. Over the course of time it is expected that customers will increase the number of end-users (seats) within their organizations, purchasing incremental subscriptions or seat licenses.
4. Professional Service Fees - For customization, configuration, development and deployment in support of eXFORMA BPM, MTM and MobiTask.
Service fees include services provided directly to end-user organizations and to channel partners primarily for implementation services and ongoing consulting services. Due to the nature of the BPM market initial implementation often requires considerable professional services and service revenue will be approximately equal to 10%-15% of license fees revenue. The type of services provided will include business analysis, design and implementation, as MobiTask, eXFORMA and MTM will be implemented to interact with enterprise applications and to meet specific task requests of the customer. Although paid for by the customer, the IP associated with each customization of the platform remains with us and is available for resale to other clients significantly reducing the direct cost to us of future product development.
Professional Service revenue is expected to increase commensurate with software sales growing from approximately $105,000 in 2012 to in excess of $7.6 million by 2015. We consider service delivery to be an important component to our success and with every success we will be adding a new stream of future revenue as clients consider expanding the use of the technology to other areas of their organizations.
Management anticipates total revenues of approximately $1 million for 2013. This level of revenues, or perhaps slightly more, will be typical in subsequent years unless we are able to obtain financing. To achieve the revenue projections set forth above, we will need to raise additional capital in the range of $2 to $5 million. This money will be used for additional market development, sales and marketing, services staffing, product enhancement and development, receivable funding, G&A and to reduce debt obligations. With the benefit of these expenditures and the sound execution of our business plan, we believe our revenues will increase to $19.4 million by 2015.
Revenue Mix
During 2012, approximately 52.8% of revenue was generated through direct sales, technical support and professional services billings, while 47.2% of revenue resulted from subscription sales primarily through the Verizon partnership. By the end of 2015, carrier-based subscription sales as a percentage of total revenue are projected to level out to the 60% range.

Expenses
We incurred $754,800 in operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared with operating expenses of $437,847 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our operating expenses increased in every category when comparing the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Professional fees were $257,038 for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared with $68,522 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our rent expenses were $91,261 for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared with $47,135 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our general and administrative expenses were $406,501 for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared with general and administrative expenses of $322,190 for the year ended December 31, 2011.
We incurred $287,075 in interest expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared with $66,977 for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Even though our channel partner distribution strategy will lighten our expenses going forward, we expect that our operating expenses will increase as we raise money, add sales representatives, and implement our business plan over the next 12 months.
Cost of Service/Sales
The cost of service/sales expense is associated with delivery of a sales unit, including direct labor cost associated with the delivery of implementation and consulting services provided directly to end-users or to distribution partners and sales commissions. In 2012, we have cost of services/sales at 62% of total revenue. Cost of sales were $87,981 and $67,594 for 2012 and 2011, respectively. The reason for the increase is due to the fact that the revenues increased in 2012 from 2011. When operations have reached our projected levels, our cost of service/sales is projected to be approximately 18% of total revenue. We hope to achieve this by the end of 2013.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses include the costs to market products and to manage and support the channel partners and direct sales team. Initially in 2012, this includes staffing to recruit distribution partners. Subsequently, staffing grows to provide adequate support, service and account management services. Sales and marketing expenses also include expenses to recruit distribution partners as well as costs for product promotion. Sales and marketing expenses, exclusive of commissions, are expected to be approximately 29% of total revenue in 2013 but declining to 7.5% by 2015 as revenue increases and more normative cost-efficiencies are experienced.
Right now we do not have a sales team. We only have one full-time employee, Hrair Achkarian, our officer and director. We have five independent contractors that are working on customer development, implementation, and business analysis. With funding, we plan to add 3 sales representatives and a VP of Sales by the end of 2013. We hope to double our sales team by 2014.
Product Development, R&D and Technical Support
Product development expense primarily includes the costs of direct in-house labor associated with the staffing requirement for development, maintenance and upgrades of the software product. Product development expenses are expected to approximately average 21% of total revenue in 2013 but will rapidly decline to 5% by 2015 as revenue increases and more normative cost-efficiencies are experienced.
General and Administrative (G&A)
The general and administrative costs represent the labor expense of corporate support staff of both fixed and semi-variable natures, which will increase with additional product sales. G&A also includes other items such as recruitment and insurance costs associated with our growth. Although general and administrative expenses were 289% of revenues during 2012, they are projected to be approximately 49% of total revenue in 2013 but again declining rapidly to 6.5% by 2015 as revenue increases and more normative cost-efficiencies are experienced.

Royalties
We have acquired an exclusive license from GroveWare Technologies Inc. to market and support MobiTask, eXFORMA, eXFORMA BPM SUITE and MTM throughout the United States. We are also permitted under the license to further develop and improve these and other product offerings to U.S. customers.
As compensation for these exclusive marketing and development rights, there are currently accrued royalties equal to 20% of all revenue generated from the sale of the licensed products. The terms of the royalty arrangement are detailed in an Exclusive Software Master License Agreement executed between the parties on December 31, 2009.
The Master License Agreement is currently under renegotiation and the attached projections assume that the royalty rate will be reduced to 15% of revenue and will be levied only on revenue generated from the sales of software licenses and subscriptions and will no longer include professional services and technical support revenue. As well, royalties will be paid as subscription revenue is recognized on our books.
Depreciation and Amortization
These expenses include depreciation of general office equipment and computer equipment, based on estimated useful lives of five years for furniture and office equipment, and three years for computer related equipment. We have capitalized the costs associated with the development of the software product but not the costs to enhance the existing product.
Earnings
We had a net loss of $989,438 for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared with a net loss of $461,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011.
We currently have a gross margin ratio of 37% at 2012. As with most enterprise software sales, mature entities often achieve gross margins ratios at around 72%. We hope to achieve that level by 2015. We expect that EBITDA margins will be negative through the end of 2013, but are projected to increase from 28.4% in 2013 to a very favorable 57% by 2015. We further expect net earnings before taxes will increase from a loss of $989,438 in 2012 to a pre-tax profit of over $10.7 million by 2015, primarily because of increasing sales over moderating expense levels.
The break-even sales level of $70,000 is forecast for Q1 of 2013 with cash flows becoming positive at sales levels of less than $100,000 expected to be achieved in Q2 of 2013.
An assumed moderate 25% growth rate in 2015 and 2016 may result in projected recognized revenues of $19.4 and $23.4 million with pre-tax earnings of $10.7 and $13.7 million, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had $29,243 in current assets and $1,438,276 in current liabilities as of December 31, 2012. We therefore had a working capital deficit of $1,409,033.
Operating activities used $220,709 for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our net loss of $989,438 was the primary source our negative operating cash flow, partially offset primarily by increases in accounts payable of $169,908, related party payables of $354,287, and related accrued interest of $170,124 ..
Financing activities provided $220,953 the year ended December 31, 2012. We received proceeds of $30,341 from related parties and proceeds of 150,000 from convertible debt, and proceeds of $71,188 from notes payable, but made repayments of $10,576 for related party payables and $20,000 on notes payable, which partially offset our positive cash flows from financing activities.
Subsequent to our year end, we sold convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $80,000. The notes accrue interest at a rate of 8 percent per annum and are convertible into our common stock at 58 percent of the average of the lowest three trading prices in the ten days preceding the conversion date.
18 |
Loans and Debt Service
We have no existing bank debt. We are currently seeking an investment of a minimum of $2,000,000 either in the form of subordinated debt or through the issue of common or preferred equity.
Capital Requirements: 2013-2014
We are seeking to raise an additional $2.0 - $5.0 million in capital. Management is currently in discussions with several potential funding sources and is hopeful that a transaction can be concluded prior to the end of Q2 2013.
Operating expenses before interest is expected to gradually increase, based on the sales growth and related support requirements, to approximately $ 325,000 per month by the end of Q2 2013. Initial pro forma profits beginning in Q1 2013 and cash flow breakeven occurs in Q2 2013.
The proceeds of our capital raise will be used primarily to fund additional market development, sales & marketing & services staffing, product enhancement and new development, receivable funding, G&A and to reduce debt obligations.
We are projecting to be cash flow positive in Q2 2013. However, to give further assurance of adequate growth capital, we will explore the financing of our accounts receivable, securing an additional bank line of credit or a capital lease line to assist with funding its monthly cash flow fluctuations and other working capital requirements.
The revenue projections are based on the best conservative estimate of management. While market acceptance and pricing are not likely to present any material challenges to revenue growth, sales cycles within the enterprise and institutional sectors tend to be less predictable and timing of sales growth may ultimately be slower or faster than forecast. As a result, cash flow projections may be negatively or positively impacted. The investment capital currently being solicited will be adequate to meet any interim cash flow shortfalls if the ramp-up of revenue is slower than projected or to fund more rapid growth if revenue growth is accelerated.
Cancellation of Shares
On August 2, 2012, in a Current Report on Form 8-K, we reported the issuance of 4,500,000 shares of common stock and an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock to our officers and directors. These shares have been cancelled and returned to treasury.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. 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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
GroveWare Technologies, Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of GroveWare Technologies, Ltd. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GroveWare Technologies, Ltd. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GROVEWARE TECHNOLOGIES, LTD
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2012 and 2011
NOTE 1 – COMPANY BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
GroveWare Technologies, Ltd. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, was formed on January 29, 2008. The Company is in the business of providing advanced workflow technology and mobile solutions for automating and mobilizing business processes at the enterprise level by outfitting clients with mobile applications for mainstream wireless operating systems used by smartphones and tablets. The Company realized its first revenues during the year ended December 31, 2011 and is accordingly is no longer classified as a development-stage company.
On April 6, 2012, the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with GroveWare Technologies Ltd., a privately held Delaware corporation (“GroveWare”) and ePhoto Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Sub”), pursuant to which GroveWare merged with and into Acquisition Sub (the “Merger”) with the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State on April 9, 2012 and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the closing an aggregate of 21,500,000 (post-split) shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the holders of GroveWare’s common stock in exchange for their shares of GroveWare. Immediately following the closing of the Merger Agreement, under the terms of an Assignment of Assets Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”), the Company transferred all of its pre-merger assets and liabilities (the “Split-Off”) to its former officer and director, Yong Feng Sara Yi, and shareholder, Namuun Ganbaatar, in exchange for certain indemnifications, waivers and releases, along with the cancellation of an aggregate of 56,000,000 pre-split shares of the Company’s common stock and the cancellation of related party loans in the amount of $39,154.
Accounting Basis
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company has elected a December 31 fiscal year-end.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Liquid investments and investments with original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, are classified as cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The Company’s accounts receivable are presented net of the allowance for estimated doubtful accounts. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical write-off experience and current economic conditions. The Company reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
F-6 |
NOTE 1 – COMPANY BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The Company’s accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, was $-0- and $5,553 at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company did not have any potentially dilutive shares.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generated revenues beginning in 2010. The Company recognizes revenue from a sales contracts under the completed contract method of accounting, pursuant to ASC 605. Revenue from professional services and monthly licenses is recognized when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the sales price is fixed or determinable and (4) collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales is comprised primarily of the cost of direct labor costs. Costs incurred by the Company are recorded as costs in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts before the project’s revenue is recognized.
Fair Value of Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments as defined by ASC 820, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” include cash, advances to affiliates, trade accounts receivable, investment in securities available-for-sale, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses and short-term borrowing. All instruments other than investment in securities available-for-sale are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which due to the short maturity of these financial instruments approximates fair value at December 31, 2012.
Advertising Expense
The Company expenses advertising costs when incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company incurred a total of $5,806 and $209, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company applies ASC 740, which requires the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The asset and liability method requires that the current or deferred tax consequences of all events recognized in the financial statements are measured by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to determine the amount of taxes payable or refundable currently or in future years. Deferred tax assets are reviewed for recoverability and the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be recovered.
F-7 |
NOTE 1 – COMPANY BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Income Taxes (Continued)
The Company adopted ASC 740, at the beginning of fiscal year 2008. This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach, requiring the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The adoption of ASC 740 had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements. Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has evaluated recent accounting pronouncements and their adoption has not had or is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or statements.
Going Concern
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 – RELATED PARTY PAYABLES
Accounts Payable – At December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company had trade accounts payable due to related parties in the amount of $466,021 and $91,970, respectively.
Royalties Payable - The Company accrues a royalty equal to 20% of net revenues for the license of its technology. This royalty is due to a related party. Total royalties payable to related parties at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $82,400 and $53,888, respectively.
NOTE 3 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
On July 27, 2012 the Company borrowed $150,000 from an unrelated third party entity in the form of a convertible note, The note bears interest at a rate of 10.0 percent per annum, with principal and interest due in full on July 27, 2015. Accrued interest payable on the note totaled $6,452 at December 31, 2012.
The principal balance of the note along with accrued interest is convertible at any time, at the option of the note holder, into the Company's common stock at a price of 20 percent below the market price on the date of conversion. The market price is defined as the average of the lowest three trading prices for the common stock during the five-day period on the most recent complete trading day prior to the conversion date.
Pursuant to this conversion feature, the Company recognized a discount on convertible debt in the amount of $37,500 on the note date. As of December 31, 2012 the Company had amortized $5,377 of the debt discount to interest expense, leaving $32,123 in unamortized debt discount at December 31, 2012.

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES
The FASB has issued ASC 740-10 which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements. As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by ASC 740-10.
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. 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.
Deferred tax assets and the valuation account are as follows:
2012 | 2011 | |||||||
Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
NOL carryover | $ | (564,148 | ) | $ | (178,267 | ) | ||
Change in valuation allowance | 564,148 | 178,267 | ||||||
Net deferred tax asset | $ | — | $ | — |
The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal and state income tax rates of 15% to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. The components of income tax expense are as follows:
2012 | 2011 | |||||||
Book income (loss) | $ | (385,881 | ) | $ | (179,790 | ) | ||
Valuation allowance | 385,881 | 179790 | ||||||
Income tax expense | $ | — | $ | — |
The Company currently has no issues creating timing differences that would mandate deferred tax expense. The Company did not have any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operations in the provision for income taxes.
F-11 |
NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES (Continued)
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years that remain subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions are for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009.
NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
No events occurred requiring disclosure under Item 304 of Regulation S-K during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, being December 31, 2012. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon that evaluation, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financing Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we hope to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 1: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (ii) are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

To the best of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (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 or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

Audit Committee
We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. The entire board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the board of directors when performing the functions of that would generally be performed by an audit committee. The board of directors approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the board of directors reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor.
We do not have an audit committee financial expert because of the size of our company and our board of directors at this time. We believe that we do not require an audit committee financial expert at this time because we retain outside consultants who possess these attributes as needed.
For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, the board of directors:
Based upon the board of directors’ review and discussion of the matters above, the board of directors authorized inclusion of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 to be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the best of our knowledge based solely on a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 (and any amendments thereof) received by us, the following persons have failed to file, on a timely basis, the identified reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during fiscal year ended December 31, 2012:

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related
The following table sets forth certain information known to us with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of March 6, 2013, by (1) all persons who are beneficial owners of 5% or more of our voting securities, (2) each director, (3) each executive officer, and (4) all directors and executive officers as a group. The information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person may be deemed to beneficially own any shares of capital stock as to which such person, directly or indirectly, has or shares voting power or investment power, and to beneficially own any shares of our capital stock as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days through the exercise of any stock option or other right. The percentage of beneficial ownership as to any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing (a) (i) the number of shares beneficially owned by such person plus (ii) the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days by (b) the total number of shares outstanding as of such date, plus any shares that such person has the right to acquire from us within 60 days. Including those shares in the tables does not, however, constitute an admission that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of those shares. Unless otherwise indicated, each person or entity named in the table has sole voting power and investment power (or shares that power with that person’s spouse) with respect to all shares of capital stock listed as owned by that person or entity.
Except as otherwise indicated, all shares are owned directly and the percentage shown is based on 61,500,011 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on March 6, 2013. Except as otherwise indicated, the address of each person named in this table is c/o GroveWare Technologies Ltd. 1006 - 20 Eglinton Ave. W., Toronto, Ontario, Canada M4R 1K8.

(1) | Represented by 200,000,000 shares held by GroveWare Holdings Inc., which is beneficially owned by a trust in which Mr. Achkarian is the beneficial owner. |
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Except as follows, none of our directors or executive officers, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director, nor any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 5% of the voting rights attached to all of our outstanding shares, nor any members of the immediate family (including spouse, parents, children, siblings, and in-laws) of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since the beginning of our last fiscal year on January 1, 2012 or in any presently proposed transaction which, in either case, has or will materially affect us.
Please refer to the section titled Executive Compensation.
Under the Assignment Agreement, we transferred all of our pre-Merger assets and liabilities to our former officer and director, Yong Feng Sara Yi, and shareholder, Namuun Ganbaatar, in exchange for certain indemnifications, waivers and releases, along with the cancellation of an aggregate of 5,600,000 shares of our common stock and the cancellation of related party loans in the amount of $39,154.
We have acquired an exclusive license from GroveWare Technologies Inc. to market and support MobiTask, eXFORMA, eXFORMA BPM SUITE and MTM throughout the United States. We are also permitted under the license to further develop and improve these and other product offerings to U.S. customers. Our officer and director, Hrair Achkarian owns GroveWare Technologies, Inc.
26 |
As compensation for these exclusive marketing and development rights, we currently pay a royalty equal to 20% of all revenue generated from the sale of the licensed products. The terms of the royalty arrangement are detailed in an Exclusive Software Master License Agreement executed between the parties on December 31, 2009.
The Master License Agreement is currently under renegotiation and the attached projections assume that the royalty rate will be reduced to 15% of revenue and will be levied only on revenue generated from the sales of software licenses and subscriptions and will no longer include professional services and technical support revenue. As well, royalties will be paid as subscription revenue is recognized on our books.
Since its inception in 2008 we have transacted a significant amount of business with entities controlled by Hrair Achkarian, whereby expenses were paid on behalf of the company, cash was transferred to the company, services were provided for the company, and various other resources were provided to the company. These transactions have been recorded and aggregated into related-party payables. We also accrue a royalty equal to 20% of net revenues for the license of our technology, which have been recorded as a related-party receivable. Total royalties payable to related parties at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $82,400 and $53,888, respectively.
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had trade accounts payable due to related parties in the amount of $466,021 and $91,970, respectively.
