PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview
 
CoroWare, Inc is a public holding company whose principal subsidiary, CoroWare Technologies, Inc. (“CTI”), has expertise in information technology consulting, mobile robotics, and affordable telepresence.  Through our subsidiary, the CoroWare delivers custom engineering services, hardware and software products, and subscription services that benefit customers in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.  Our customers span multiple industry sectors and comprise universities, software and hardware product development companies, and non-profit organizations.

In 2007, Robotic Workspace Technologies, Inc. (“RWT”), our other subsidiary, ceased all operations including manufacturing, sales and service of the Universal Robot Controller. In 2008, we sold RWT’s robotic control technology patents through a patent auction.

CoroWare stabilized its revenues during 2009, having worked through the most challenging economic environment in the our history.  We improved our gross with a view towards achieving modest growth in 2010 as we diversify our business with telepresence and customer spending continues to improve.

Employees

As of December 31 2009, CoroWare had a total of twenty-four (24) employees (of which 15 are full time) and several independent contractors providing services. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.
 
COROWARE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

CoroWare Technologies comprises three separately managed lines of business:
 
 
CoroWare Business Solutions
IT and lab management; software architecture, design and development; content delivery; partner and program management.
 
 
Robotics and Automation
Custom engineering such as visualization, simulation and software development; and mobile robot platforms for university, government and corporate researchers.
 
 
Telepresence
High definition video conferencing products, solutions and subscription services.
 
CoroWare Business Solutions

CTI provides release management, software systems development, and product integration services that help our customers deliver high quality products, solutions and services.

Release and Project Management

CTI's program managers are experts in Microsoft's product and solution development tools and processes. CTI uses that experience to create product specifications, develop project plans, and perform security and release management audits – with the objective of helping Microsoft deliver its solutions and products efficiently, affordably and on schedule.  CTI's senior consultants design complex testing and demonstration environments using the latest Microsoft virtualization technology, ensuring rapid, scalable and low-fault deployments.
 
1

 
Lab Management
CTI's team of experienced hardware and software deployment engineers architect, deploy and support state-of-the-art computer lab facilities that include the latest builds of operating systems, developer tools, and servers. CTI employees currently provide lab management and systems engineering support services in three Microsoft data centers and labs.

Solution Delivery

CTI’s solutions development group has been instrumental in helping product development companies, including MetraTech, design, prototype, develop and test new products and solutions.  CoroWare’s consulting staff comprises a wide range of software architects with over 20 years experience, “user experience” application developers, web service software developers, database consultants, and project managers. 

In order to compete with outsourcing software and IT consulting companies in India and China, CoroWare established a near shore consulting services group in 2007 as a low cost alternative with same time zone presence.  CoroWare's Latin America partnerships offer superior cost dynamics and a near time zone alternative to Europe / US businesses requiring Spanish language capability.  CoroWare's Near Shore Consulting Services offer a stable rate against the dollar, as well as close proximity, and a familiarity with US business processes.
 
Robotics and Automation

CoroWare became recognized as a mobile robotics solutions integrator in the research community because of its expertise in robotics simulation and software development.  CoroWare’s CoroBot and Explorer product lines are being used by over 20 corporate and academic researchers today, and the CoroBot product line was specified in at least one Request for Proposal in 2009.

Custom Engineering

CTI offers its custom engineering expertise to customers who are looking for product realization, robotics simulation, systems architecture and design, and robotic applications development services. We believe CTI is uniquely positioned with its knowledge of robotics simulation; Player-Stage running on Linux systems; Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR) and Decentralized Software Services (DSS) running on Microsoft Windows systems; embedded systems software development; and hardware and software integration services to help its customers deliver innovative product and solutions.

Solutions and Products

In May 2007, CTI began shipping the CoroBot, an affordable and flexible mobile robot that was designed to minimize the complexity of robotic development. Combining a powerful PC-class platform with a robust, object-oriented software development system empowers researchers and robotics application developers to rapidly deploy and develop robotic solutions.  Some university customers are deploying CoroBots for use in various lab activities, including the development of swarm robotics applications designed to leverage groups of robots to complete complex tasks.  In June 2009, CTI began shipping the Explorer. With more powerful motors, larger payload capacity, articulated suspension and enclosed electronics it is suitable for indoor or outdoor usage.
 
Telepresence

In early 2009, CTI launched its telepresence initiative in order to address the needs of enterprise customers with distributed business operations that are turning to new technologies to address the cost of doing business in a world that is increasingly dependent on suppliers, partners and customers worldwide.  In order to overcome these challenges, enterprise customers are looking for solutions that are demonstrably effective and operationally affordable.  As a result, small, medium and large sized businesses, including consulting companies, non-profit groups, and distance learning companies, are all giving serious consideration to purchasing affordable high definition videoconferencing solutions.

Through its partnership with Vidyo (http://www.vidyo.com), CoroWare is deploying high definition video conferencing solutions, including telepresence room systems, and offering CoroCallTM (http://www.corocall.com), an affordable high definition videoconferencing subscription service that is based on Vidyo’s technology.

In addition to offering its personal telepresence services, CoroWare is generating revenues with complementary video streaming and post production services.  Some customers are using our services to hold virtual sales meetings on a weekly basis by hosting 3-4 speakers in a video conference, streaming the live session to dozens or hundreds of attendees, and then publishing an edited recording of the session on their Intranet.  Other customers are planning to use our services to hold interviews in a recorded video conference, perform their own post-production, and then publish an edited version publicly.

Although this business is in its early stages of growth, we have won and are pursuing significant customer opportunities at financial consulting organizations, product development/sales companies, religious organizations, and universities.

Finally, CoroWare has proposed acquiring LTC International to leverage its in-depth knowledge of application services that we believe will help us more expeditiously enter the personal telepresence marketplace.  LTC International was formed in 1992 with the goal of helping service providers and telecommunications companies meet their growing needs for dependable systems and software solutions.  LTC International and CoroWare are still considering the proposed acquisition at this time.
 
ROBOTIC WORKSPACE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

During the third quarter of 2007, RWT ceased all operations including manufacturing, sales and service of the Universal Robot Controllers (URC).  In 2009, we completed the sale of the following robotic control technology patents through a patent auction:

On May 16, 2006, the company completed the purchase of all of the assets of CoroWare, Inc. pursuant to a certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 12, 2006, we and CoroWare, Inc. entered into with CoroWare Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of our company. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, we purchased, and CoroWare, Inc. sold, all of its assets including, without limitation, all hardware, software, employee relations, customer contacts in the military and homeland security markets, contacts with Microsoft, Inc. and all other customers.

During 2009 and 2008,  our subsidiary Innova Robotics Inc. had no business operations, no revenues, no assets, no liabilities and no expenditures; however, it continues to be a subsidiary of CoroWare. CTI has consolidated and assumed all of CoroWare’s and its other subsidiaries’ development and engineering initiatives. During 2007, CoroWare also purchased, then subsequently sold, the assets subject to its liabilities of Altronics Service, Inc. Robotic Workspace Technologies (RWT) has ceased all operations including manufacturing, sales and service of the Universal Robot Controllers. In 2009, we sold all of RWT’s robotic control patents at auction for gross proceeds of $100,000.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, and affect the disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities. We believe these accounting policies involve judgment due to the sensitivity of the methods, assumptions, and estimates necessary in determining the related asset and liability amounts. The significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition

We derive our software system integration services revenue from short-duration, time and material contracts. Generally, such contracts provide for an hourly-rate and a stipulated maximum fee. Revenue is recorded only on executed arrangements as time is incurred on the project and as materials, which are insignificant to the total contract value, are expended. Revenue is not recognized in cases where customer acceptance of the work product is necessary, unless sufficient work has been performed to ascertain that the performance specifications are being met and the customer acknowledges that such performance specifications are being met. We periodically review contractual performance and estimate future performance requirements. Losses on contracts are recorded when estimable. No contractual losses were identified during the periods presented.

We recognize revenue for our software and software professional services when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. Product sales are recognized by us generally at the time product is shipped. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.

We account for arrangements that contain multiple elements in accordance with FASB ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, Multiple Element Arrangements. When elements such as hardware, software and consulting services are contained in a single arrangement, or in related arrangements with the same customer, we allocate revenue to each element based on its relative fair value, provided that such element meets the criteria for treatment as a separate unit of accounting. The price charged when the element is sold separately generally determines fair value. In the absence of fair value for a delivered element, we allocate revenue first to the fair value of the underlying elements and allocate the residual revenue to the delivered elements. In the absence of fair value for an undelivered element, the arrangement is accounted for as a single unit of accounting, resulting in a delay of revenue recognition for the delivered elements until the undelivered elements are fulfilled. We limit the amount of revenue recognition for delivered elements to the amount that is not contingent on future delivery of products or services or subject to customer-specified return or refund privileges.
 
We recognize revenue from the sale of manufacturer’s maintenance and extended warranty contracts in accordance with FASB ASC 605-45, Revenue Recognition, Principal Agent Considerations net of its costs of purchasing the related contracts.
 
Our telepresence revenue is comprised of both services and products.  Telepresence service revenues are generated through the sale of CoroCallTM, a managed telepresence service.  Our contracts provide for per-minute or unlimited usage pricing.  We recognize this revenue in the period that the services or minutes are used.  Product revenues are realized partly through the sale of Vidyo’s product line, including room systems and back-end infrastructure, and partly through the sale of CoroWare telepresence products, including CoroWare Usage Reporter for Vidyo, a software package that provides usage statistics for Vidyo brand high-definition video conferencing systems.  Revenues for these products are recognized upon delivery to the customer.

Share-based payment

Stock based compensation expense is recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (pre-codification:  SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment), for stock and stock options awarded in return for services rendered.  The expense is measured at the grant-date fair value of the award and recognized as compensation expense on a straight line basis over the service period, which is the vesting period.  We estimate forfeitures that we expect will occur and record expense based upon the number of awards expected to vest.

We have estimated fair value at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

   
2009
   
2008
 
Expected Volatility
    n/a       75.10 %
Dividend yield
    n/a       -0-  
Expected term (in years)
    n/a       0-5  
Risk-free interest rate
    n/a       4.41 %
Forfeiture rate
    n/a       5.00 %

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (pre-codification FAS 133 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities”), consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying variables (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. The caption Derivative Liability consists of (i) the fair values associated with derivative features embedded in the YA Global Investments, L.P. (“Yorkville”) financings and (ii) the fair values of the detachable warrants that were issued in connection with those financing arrangements. In addition, this caption includes the fair values of other pre-existing derivative financial instruments that were reclassified from stockholders’ equity when net-share settlement was no longer within our control.

We generally do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, we have entered into certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as debt financing arrangements and freestanding warrants with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by FASB ASC 815, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in our financial statements.

We estimate fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective of measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as free-standing warrants, we generally use the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms and risk free rates) necessary to value these instruments. For complex derivative instruments, such as embedded conversion options, we generally use the Flexible Monte Carlo valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including credit risk, interest-rate risk and exercise/conversion behaviors) that are necessary to value these more complex instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock, which has a high-historical volatility. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.

Plan of Operation  

CoroWare is well positioned for managed growth in Fiscal Year 2010 through continued growth of our CoroWare Business Solutions and Robotics & Automation business units, and early rapid growth of our Telepresence business unit.

The CoroWare Business Solutions business unit anticipates growing its revenues by delivering software development, IT consulting, lab management and release management professional services through its long term clients, including Microsoft and MetraTech. 

The Robotics & Automation business unit expects to achieve its revenue objectives by offering affordable mobile robotics platforms, products and custom solutions to researchers in the university, commercial and homeland security market segments.  As well, the Robotics & Automation group is well positioned to pursue custom engineering opportunities with clients who are developing innovative software services, solutions and products that leverage our expertise in simulation, visualization, mobile robotics, and product realization.

The Telepresence business unit plans to rapidly grow its revenues by selling a combination of services and products.  Telepresence service revenues are generated through the sale of CoroCallTM, a managed telepresence service that small, medium and large sized businesses - including consulting companies, non-profit groups, and distance learning companies – are considering as an alternative to purchasing and operating videoconferencing equipment and infrastructure.  Product revenues are being realized partly through the sale of Vidyo’s product line – including room systems and back-end infrastructure – and partly through the sale of CoroWare telepresence products, including CoroWare Usage Reporter for Vidyo, a software package that provides usage statistics for Vidyo brand high-definition video conferencing systems.

In order to achieve revenue and margin objectives in an increasingly global and competitive market, all of CoroWare’s business units offer their customers the option of using CoroWare’s near-shore resources, which comprise a team of highly capable architects, developers and testers with experience in software application development and integration, rich internet applications development (including Microsoft Silverlight), partner management portal development, IT infrastructure, and Quality Assurance.

We do not expect to sell any of CoroWare’s fixed assets, including property or equipment in the next twelve months, nor do we expect to purchase any real property in the next twelve months. During the next twelve months we expect to purchase certain equipment to support software development, testing and continued deployment of CoroWare technologies. Additionally, we expect to purchase office equipment, computer equipment and laboratory development and testing equipment to support our planned personnel increase.

We have begun to implement a modest and effective investor relations campaign to generate greater awareness of CoroWare and our services, solutions and products, and to communicate more effectively and actively with CoroWare shareholders.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008:

During the year ended December 31, 2009 (the "2009 Period") revenues were $1,988,710 compared to revenues of $2,392,681 during the year ended December 31, 2008 (the "2008 Period").  Revenues in the 2009 period were lower than in the 2008 period as customers began to delay or reduce spending on software development, multimedia production and infrastructure deployments.  In response to this growing trend, the Company made a strategic decision to enter the telepresence marketplace as potential customers expressed an interest in reducing operational expenses. 
 
Cost of goods sold was $1,389,041 and $1,906,705 for the 2009 Period and the 2008 Period, respectively.  Cost of goods sold primarily represents labor and labor-related costs in addition to overhead costs.  All sales and cost of goods sold totals for 2009 and 2008 represent the operations of CoroWare.  We were able to reduce our expenditures on cost of goods sold in the 2009 Period by making greater use if our Near Shore consulting practice in Latin America.  We were able to deliver custom engineering, software development and testing services at a reduced cost.

Operating expenses were $1,116,127 for the 2009 Period compared to $1,831,025 for the 2008 Period.  General and administrative expenses amounted to $880,082 during the 2009 Period compared to $1,469,303 for the 2008 Period, and represented mostly labor and related compensation costs, legal & professional fees, outside services, travel expenses, rental expense and related office expenses. General and Administrative expenses were significantly reduced in 2009 as the Company successfully aligned expenses with revenues.  Sales and marketing expenses were $105,759 for the 2009 Period compared to $119,310 for the 2008 Period. Depreciation and amortization costs were $130,286 for the 2009 Period compared to $242,412 for the 2008 Period. 

Loss from continuing operations before other income (expense) was $516,458 for the 2009 Period compared to $1,345,049 for the 2008 Period.  This improvement was due to a focus on managing Cost of Goods Sold, especially in the first and last quarters of the 2009 Period and aggressively reducing General and Administrative expenses throughout the 2009 Period.

Other income (expense) was ($4,682,676) during the 2009 Period compared to ($428,158) in the 2008 Period.  Other income (expense) is comprised primarily of derivative income (expense) and amortization of debt discount and deferred finance costs.  The derivative expense for the 2009 Period was ($2,023,108) compared to the $959,970 derivative income for the 2008 Period.  The embedded conversion features associated with our convertible debentures are valued based on the number of shares that are indexed to that liability. Keeping the number of shares constant, the liability associated with the embedded conversion features increases as our share price increases and, likewise, decreases when our share price decreases.  Derivative income (expense) displays the inverse relationship.  The derivative expense in the 2009 Period is the result of the increase in our stock price on the measurement dates at the beginning and end of the year ($0.03 at December 31, 2008 versus $0.08 at December 31, 2009).  The derivative income in the 2008 Period is the direct result of the decrease in our stock price on the measurement dates at the beginning and end of the year ($3.00 at December 31, 2007 versus $.03 at December 31, 2008).  A decrease in the stock price resulted in a decreased value of the embedded conversion feature (using the Monte Carlo calculation) which resulted in derivative income.  Interest expense for the 2009 Period is $2,753,840 compared to $870,791 for the 2008 Period.  This increase in interest expense is a direct result of the amortization of debt discount on the convertible debt.  The debt discount is being amortized using the effective interest method.  Under this method, the amount of amortization increases exponentially as the underlying carrying value of the amortized debt increases.

Net loss for the 2009 Period was $5,199,134 compared to net loss of $1,805,852 for the 2008 Period. The loss during the 2009 Period was entirely from continuing operations.  The loss during 2008 consisted of $1,773,207 from continuing operations and $32,645 from discontinued operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the year ended December 31, 2009 (the “2009 Period”) we used $440,772 of cash for operating activities versus $542,954 for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the “2008 Period”).  Decreased revenues in the  2009 Period resulted in less cash being available for operations.  The usage of cash for operating activities has decreased from the 2008 Period as the direct result of cost reductions, especially general and administrative expenses at the parent company.

The Company’s investing activities provided $63,776 in the 2009 Period and consisted primarily of purchases of office and computer equipment and expenditures on the internal development of software to be sold.  The Company’s investing activities in the 2008 Period used $43,552 and consisted primarily of purchases of office and computer equipment.

In the 2009 Period, the Company generated $348,347 of cash from financing activities.  This primarily reflects borrowings from related parties of $248,629, borrowings on lines of credit of $94,486 and borrowings from third parties of $40,500.  The Company’s financing activities generated $413,950 of cash during the 2008 Period.  This primarily reflected borrowings under a convertible debenture that was executed in March 2008 of $240,000 and proceeds from related party financings of $173,300.

At December 31, 2009, we had current assets of $228,259, current liabilities of $9,833,006, negative working capital of $9,604,747 and an accumulated deficit of $24,429,085.

We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding. We will still need additional capital in order to continue operations until we are able to achieve positive operating cash flow. Additional capital is being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.

During 2005, CoroWare borrowed $30,000 from a shareholder on a promissory note with the following terms:  5% interest per annum and principal and accrued interest convertible into CoroWare common stock at $4.50 per share. A $2,500 payment was made on this note in the fourth quarter of 2006.  The lender agreed to a repayment plan that extended the term to December 31, 2008.  The note was due six months from its issuance and is currently in default.

During 2006, CoroWare issued 10% secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $2,825,000, net of deferred financing costs of $263,143 to Yorkville.  By amendment dated March 20, 2008, the interest rate was increased to 14%.

The Debentures matured on the third anniversary of the date of issuance and are currently in default. Yorkville continues to convert the balances outstanding into shares of CoroWare common stock at the lower of $6.00 or 85% of the 30-day VWAP. CoroWare’s obligations under the debentures are secured by substantially all of CoroWare’s assets and those of our wholly owned subsidiary, CTI.

As part of the debenture issuance, we also issued to Yorkville five-year warrants to purchase 3,333 and 5,000 shares of CoroWare common stock at prices equal to $150 and $300, respectively, together with three-year warrants to purchase 7,667, 6,667 and 8,333 shares of common stock at prices equal to $75, $195 and $225, respectively.  The three-year warrants expired unexercised in 2009.

Effective October 25, 2007, CoroWare entered into another Securities Purchase Agreement with Yorkville under which we issued our 12% secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000, net of deferred financing costs of $75,000.  The interest rate of these debentures was also raised to 14% under the March 20, 2008 amendment.

The debentures mature on the third anniversary of the date of issuance. Yorkville may, at any time, convert amounts outstanding under the Debentures into shares of CoroWare common stock at the lower of $6.00 or 85% of the 30-day VWAP.  We may elect to pay in cash plus a conversion premium of 12% plus accrued interest. Our obligations under the Purchase Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets and those of our wholly owned subsidiary, CTI.

CoroWare has the right to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under the debenture prior to the maturity date at a 12% redemption premium provided that the closing bid price of the common stock is less than the conversion price and there is an effective registration statement covering the shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures and exercise of the Warrants (as defined below).  In addition, beginning on the earlier of: (i) the first trading day following the day which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission, or (ii) December 1, 2006, and continuing on the first trading day of each calendar month thereafter, Yorkville may require us to redeem up to $500,000 of the remaining principal amount of the debentures per calendar month.  However, Yorkville may not require the Company to redeem the debentures if the closing bid price of the common stock exceeds the conversion price for each of the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the redemption date, and the registration statement has been declared effective and remains effective on the redemption date. CoroWare has the option, in our sole discretion, to settle any requested redemptions by either paying cash or issuing the number of shares of CoroWare common stock equal to the cash amount owed divided by a stock price equal to 95% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the CoroWare’s common stock during the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of the redemption.

If we elect to pay a requested redemption in cash, Yorkville will receive warrants to purchase 35,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.025 per share for each $100,000 redeemed.

On March 20, 2008, CoroWare entered into another Securities Purchase Agreement with Yorkville under which we issued (i) 14% Secured Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000due on March 20, 2010 and (ii) warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock.
 
13

 
The 2008 debentures are convertible into shares of CoroWare common stock at $6.00 per share.  They are payable in monthly installments each equal to the lesser of (a) $13,044 and (b) the principal amount under the debenture as of such installment date. These debentures matured on March 20, 2010 and are currently in default.  The warrants issued in connection with these 2008 debentures are to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock have an exercise price of $6.00 per share. The warrants have a term of five (5) years and are exercisable on a cash basis.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity, or capital expenditures.

ITEM 9A-(T).  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

As of December 31, 2009, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). This evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures included controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Such disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2009.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No changes in the company's internal control over financial reporting have come to management's attention during the company's last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the company's internal control over financial reporting, except that we were unable to timely file our 10K for the year ending December 31, 2009.

Limitations on Controls

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.  In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework   Based on its assessment our management believes that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting is ineffective based on the fact that we were unable to timely file our 10K for the year ending December 31, 2009.

Auditor’s Attestation

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 temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

ITEM 12.  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 31, 2010 by each person or entity known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock, each of our directors and named executive officers, and all of our directors and executive officers as a group. Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Generally, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of a security if he has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days.

Percentage ownership in the following table is based on 9,245,454 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2010. A person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities that can be acquired by that person within 60 days from March 31, 2010 upon the exercise of options, warrants or convertible securities, or other rights. Each beneficial owner's percentage ownership is determined by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by that person by the base number of outstanding shares, increased to reflect the shares underlying options, warrants, convertible securities, or other rights included in that person's holdings, but not those underlying shares held by any other person.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
CoroWare, Inc.
Redmond, WA 98052

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CoroWare, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of 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 audit 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of CoroWare, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s recurring losses from operations, and its need for additional financing in order to fund its projected loss in 2010 raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In order to compete with outsourcing software and IT consulting companies in India and China, CoroWare established a near shore consulting services group in 2007 as a low cost alternative with same time zone presence.  CoroWare's Latin America partnerships offer superior cost dynamics and a near time zone alternative to Europe / US businesses requiring Spanish language capability.  CoroWare's Near Shore Consulting Services offer a stable rate against the dollar, as well as close proximity, and a familiarity with US business processes.

Robotics and Automation:

CoroWare became recognized as a mobile robotics solutions integrator in the research community because of its expertise in robotics simulation and software development.  CoroWare's CoroBot and Explorer product lines are being used by over 20 corporate and academic researchers today, and the CoroBot product line was specified in at least one Request for Proposal in 2009.

Custom Engineering:

CTI offers its custom engineering expertise to customers who are looking for product realization, robotics simulation, systems architecture and design, and robotic applications development services. The Company believes CTI is uniquely positioned with its knowledge of robotics simulation; Player-Stage running on Linux systems; Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR) and Decentralized Software Services (DSS) running on Microsoft Windows systems; embedded systems software development; and hardware and software integration services to help its customers deliver innovative product and solutions.

Solutions and Products:

In May 2007, CTI began shipping the CoroBot, an affordable and flexible mobile robot that was designed to minimize the complexity of robotic development. Combining a powerful PC-class platform with a robust, object-oriented software development system empowers researchers and robotics application developers to rapidly deploy and develop robotic solutions.  Some university customers are deploying CoroBots for use in various lab activities, including the development of swarm robotics applications designed to leverage groups of robots to complete complex tasks.  In June 2009, CTI began shipping the Explorer. With more powerful motors, larger payload capacity, articulated suspension and enclosed electronics it is suitable for indoor or outdoor usage.

Telepresence:

In early 2009, CTI launched its telepresence initiative in order to address the needs of enterprise customers with distributed business operations that and are turning to new technologies to address the cost of doing business in a world that is increasing dependent on suppliers and partners and customers worldwide.  In order to overcome these challenges, enterprise customers are looking for solutions that are demonstrably effective and operationally affordable.  As a result, small, medium and large sized businesses, including consulting companies, non-profit groups, and distance learning companies, are all giving serious consideration to purchasing affordable high definition videoconferencing solutions.

Through its partnership with Vidyo (http://www.vidyo.com), CoroWare is deploying high definition video conferencing solutions, including telepresence room systems, and offering CoroCallTM (http://www.corocall.com), an affordable high definition videoconferencing subscription service that is based on Vidyo's technology.

In addition to offerings its personal telepresence services, CoroWare is generating revenues with complementary video streaming and post production services.  Some customers are using our services to hold virtual sales meetings on a weekly basis by hosting 3-4 speakers in a video conference, streaming the live session to dozens or hundreds of attendees, and then publishing an edited recording of the session on their Intranet.  Other customers are planning to use our services to hold interviews in a recorded video conference, perform their own post-production, and then publish an edited version publicly.

Although this business is in its early stages of growth, we have won and are pursuing significant customer opportunities at financial consulting organizations, product development/sales companies, religious organizations, and universities.

ROBOTIC WORKSPACE TECHNOLOGIES,  INC.

During the third quarter of 2007, RWT ceased all operations including manufacturing, sales and service of the Universal Robot Controllers (URC).  In 2009, the Company completed the sale of the following robotic control technology patents through a patent auction.

Summary of significant accounting policies:

Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid financial instruments with original purchased maturities of three months or less.

Accounts receivable:

The Company’s accounts receivable are exposed to credit risk. During the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers with normal and traditional trade terms. Typically credit terms require payments to be made by the thirtieth day following the sale.  The Company regularly evaluates and monitors the creditworthiness of each customer.  The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our continuing evaluation of its customers’ credit risk and its overall collection history. At December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, no allowance was deemed necessary.

Property and equipment:

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renovations, renewals and improvements are capitalized; minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations. Depreciation is computed by applying the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives which are generally five to ten years.

Intangible assets:

The Company’s intangible assets, which are recorded at cost, consist primarily of the unamortized cost basis of customer lists and employment contracts.  These assets are being amortized on a straight line basis over estimated useful lives, which range from three to five years.

Impairment of long-lived assets:

The Company evaluates the carrying value and recoverability of its long-lived assets when circumstances warrant such evaluation by applying the provisions of FASB ASC 360-35, Property, Plant and Equipment, Subsequent Measurement. FASB ASC 360-35 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
 
F-11

 
Deferred finance costs:

Deferred finance costs are associated with the convertible debenture financings (see Note 9) and are being amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the underlying debt instrument.  Upon conversion, the deferred finance cost associated with the converted amount is amortized.

Income taxes:

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Additionally, taxes are calculated and expensed in accordance with applicable tax code.

Financial instruments:

Financial instruments, as defined in FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, derivative financial instruments, and debt.

The Company carries cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses at historical costs; their respective estimated fair values approximate carrying values due to their current nature.  The Company also carries notes payable and convertible debt.  The fair values of these notes payable and convertible debt instruments approximate carrying values based on the comparable market interest rates applicable to similar instruments.

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying variables (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. The caption Derivative Liability consists of (i) the fair values associated with derivative features embedded in the convertible debt financings and (ii) the fair values of the detachable warrants that were issued in connection with those financing arrangements.

The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the Company has entered into certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as debt financing arrangements and freestanding warrants with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by FASB ASC 815, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in its financial statements.

Share-based payments:

Stock based compensation expense is recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, for stock and stock options awarded in return for services rendered.  The expense is measured at the grant-date fair value of the award and recognized as compensation expense on a straight line basis over the service period, which is the vesting period.  The Company estimates forfeitures that it expects will occur and records expense based upon the number of awards expected to vest.

The Company has estimated fair value at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing-model with the following weighted average assumptions:

   
2009
   
2008
 
Expected Volatility
    n/a       75.10 %
Dividend yield
    n/a       -0-  
Expected term (in years)
    n/a       0-10  
Risk-free interest rate
    n/a       4.41 %
Forfeiture rate
    n/a       5.00 %
 
F-12

 
Revenue recognition:

We derive our software system integration services revenue from short-duration, time and material contracts. Generally, such contracts provide for an hourly-rate and a stipulated maximum fee. Revenue is recorded only on executed arrangements as time is incurred on the project and as materials, which are insignificant to the total contract value, are expended. Revenue is not recognized in cases where customer acceptance of the work product is necessary, unless sufficient work has been performed to ascertain that the performance specifications are being met and the customer acknowledges that such performance specifications are being met. We periodically review contractual performance and estimate future performance requirements. Losses on contracts are recorded when estimable. No contractual losses were identified during the periods presented.

We recognize revenue for our software and software professional services when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. Product sales are recognized by us generally at the time product is shipped. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.

We account for arrangements that contain multiple elements in accordance with FASB ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, Multiple Element Arrangements. When elements such as hardware, software and consulting services are contained in a single arrangement, or in related arrangements with the same customer, we allocate revenue to each element based on its relative fair value, provided that such element meets the criteria for treatment as a separate unit of accounting. The price charged when the element is sold separately generally determines fair value. In the absence of fair value for a delivered element, we allocate revenue first to the fair value of the underlying elements and allocate the residual revenue to the delivered elements. In the absence of fair value for an undelivered element, the arrangement is accounted for as a single unit of accounting, resulting in a delay of revenue recognition for the delivered elements until the undelivered elements are fulfilled. We limit the amount of revenue recognition for delivered elements to the amount that is not contingent on future delivery of products or services or subject to customer-specified return of refund privileges.
 
We recognize revenue from the sale of manufacturer’s maintenance and extended warranty contracts in accordance with FASB ASC 605-45, Revenue Recognition, Principal Agent Considerations, net of its costs of purchasing the related contracts.

Our telepresence revenue is comprised of both services and products.  Telepresence service revenues are generated through the sale of CoroCallTM, a managed telepresence service.  Our contracts provide for per-minute or unlimited usage pricing.  We recognize this revenue in the period that the services or minutes are used.  Product revenues are realized partly through the sale of Vidyo’s product line, including room systems and back-end infrastructure, and partly through the sale of CoroWare telepresence products, including CoroWare Usage Reporter for Vidyo, a software package that provides usage statistics for Vidyo brand high-definition video conferencing systems.  Revenues for these products are recognized when the product is delivered to the customer.
 
F-13

 
Research and development:

Research and development costs relate to the development of new products, including significant improvements and refinements to existing products, and are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $87 and $20,188, respectively.

Advertising expense:

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $3,377 and $8,695, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk:

Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in deposit accounts with high quality, credit-worthy financial institutions.
 
At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s revenues and receivables were comprised of the following customer concentrations:
   
2009
   
2008
 
   
% of Revenues

F-14

 
Basic and diluted loss per share:

The Company is required to provide basic and dilutive earnings (loss) per common share information. The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders, adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the years ended December 2009 and 2008, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.

Dividend Policy

The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock. The Company anticipates that any earnings will be retained for development and expansion of its business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Additionally, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 the Company has issued and has outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock which are entitled, prior to the declaration of any dividends on common stock, to earn a 5% dividend, payable in either cash or common stock of the Company.  The Board of Directors has sole discretion to declare dividends based on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual obligations and other relevant factors.  At December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were cumulative undeclared dividends to Preferred Series B shareholders of $15,967 and $7,983, respectively, the obligation for which is contingent on declaration by the board of directors.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
 
Effective July 1, 2009, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP for SEC registrants.  All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority.  The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards.  The FASB will now issue new standards in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”).  The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right.  ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the changes in the Codification.  References made to FASB guidance have been updated for the Codification throughout this document.
 
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 815-40.  This section of the Codification provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. The adoption of this pronouncement required the Company to perform additional analyses on both its freestanding equity derivatives and embedded equity derivative features. The adoption of FASB ASC 815-40 affected the Company’s accounting for the warrants associated with the $600,000 convertible debenture resulting in the Company recording a derivative liability of $4,379 representing the fair value of the warrants as of January 1, 2009.  FASB ASC 815-40 requires the Company to recognize the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.
 
Management does not expect the impact of any other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
 
F-15

 
Use of 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.  Among the more significant estimates included in the Company’s financial statements are the following:
 
    ·      
estimating future bad debts on accounts receivable that are carried at net realizable values;
    ·      
estimating the fair value of its financial instruments that are required to be carried at fair value; and
    ·      
estimating the recoverability of its long-lived assets.

The Company uses all available information and appropriate techniques to develop its estimates. However, actual results could differ from its estimates.

Reclassifications:

Certain 2008 balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

NOTE 2 - FINANCIAL CONDITION AND GOING CONCERN

The Company has incurred losses for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 of $5,199,134 and $1,805,852, respectively. Because of these losses and the Company’s working capital deficit, the Company will require additional working capital to develop its business operations.

The Company intends to raise additional working capital through the use of private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing.

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 placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support the Company's working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations, any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Robotic Workspace Technologies:

During the third quarter of 2007, the Company made the decision to discontinue operations including manufacturing, sales, service, and production of the Universal Robot Controller due to a change in focus of the core business of the Company.  In accordance with FASB ASC 360-35, Property, Plant and Equipment, Subsequent Measurement, the assets associated with this discontinued operation were reclassified to assets held for sale on the face of the accompanying consolidated 2007 balance sheet. The assets consisted of machinery and equipment of $22,645 and inventory of $10,000.  During the fourth quarter of 2008 management wrote off those assets as they were unable to sell them.

Discontinued operations include the following:

In February 2003, the Company issued $230,000 of notes payable which matured in June 2003. The notes earn interest at 8% per annum unless they are in default, in which case they earn default interest at a rate of 15%; the notes are currently in default. Additionally, the notes had warrants attached to purchase 11,500 shares of common stock at $15.00 per share and were exercisable through February 12, 2005.  None of these warrants were exercised prior to their expiration.  This instrument is in default.

(a)  $2,825,000 Convertible debenture financing:

The Company is party to a convertible debenture with Yorkville which provided for the sale of its 14% secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $2,825,000, net of deferred financing costs of $263,143.

The Debenture matures on the third anniversary of the date of issuance (see Note 9 for debt maturity schedule). The holder of the Debenture may, at any time, convert amounts outstanding under the Debentures into shares of common stock of the Company at the lesser of $6.00 or 85% of the 30-day VWAP.  The Company's obligations under the Purchase Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and those of its wholly owned subsidiary, CoroWare Technologies, Inc. 

Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued to Yorkville five-year warrants to purchase 3,300 and 4,950 shares of Common Stock at prices equal to $150 and $300, respectively, together with three-year warrants to purchase 7,667, 6,667 and 8,333 shares of Common Stock at prices equal to $75, $195 and $225, respectively.

The Company has the right to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Debenture prior to the Maturity Date at a 10% redemption premium plus accrued interest provided that the closing bid price of the Common Stock is less than the Conversion Price and there is an effective Registration Statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants (as defined below).  In addition, beginning on the earlier of: (i) the first trading day following the day which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission, or (ii) December 1, 2006, and continuing on the first trading day of each calendar month thereafter, Yorkville may require the Company to redeem up to $500,000 of the remaining principal amount of the Debentures per calendar month.  However, Yorkville may not require the Company to redeem the Debentures if the closing bid price of the Common Stock exceeds the Conversion Price for each of the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the redemption date, and the Registration Statement has been declared effective and remains effective on the redemption date. The Company has the option, in its sole discretion, to settle any requested redemptions by either paying cash and a 10% redemption premium plus accrued interest or issuing the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the cash amount owed divided by a stock price equal to 95% of the 30 day VWAP (lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of the redemption).

The following redemptions have occurred in conjunction with this debenture financing:

Date of Redemption
 
Principal Redeemed
   
Number of shares issued
 
2006
  $ 25,000       629  
2007
  $ 930,000       59,946  
2008
  $ 280,051       925,794  
2009
  $ 30,000       573,220  

During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the company incurred losses in conjunction with the applicable redemptions of the convertible debt of $5,728 and $517,432, respectively.  The loss on redemption was recorded by the Company as the difference between the fair value of the shares issued ($45,858 and $577,657 during 2009 and 2008, respectively) and the carrying value of the debt redeemed ($40,130 and $60,225 for 2009 and 2008, respectively.)

In the Company’s evaluation of this instrument in accordance with FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (pre-codification FAS 133 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities”), based on the variable conversion price and lack of authorized shares, it was determined that the conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument and did not otherwise meet the conditions for equity classification.  As such, the conversion and other features were compounded into one instrument, bifurcated from the debt instrument and carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.  The Company estimated the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments using the Monte Carlo valuation model because this methodology provides for all of the assumptions necessary for fair value determination; including assumptions for credit risk, interest risk and conversion/redemption behavior. Significant assumptions underlying this methodology were: Effective Term (using the remaining term of the host instrument); Effective Volatility (89.08% - 123.72%); and Effective Risk Adjusted Yield (15.97% - 33.59%).  As a result of these estimates, the valuation model resulted in a compound derivative balance of $1,798,350 at inception.  The Company also determined that the warrants did not meet the conditions for equity classification because share settlement and maintenance of an effective registration statement are not within its control.  The fair value allocated to the warrants instruments was $637,700 at inception. The remaining $388,950 was allocated to the carrying value of the debenture.

This convertible debenture matured in 2009 and is currently in default.  Management is working with Yorkville to develop a plan for repayment of this debt.  In order to estimate a value for the embedded conversion feature for financial statement presentation at December 31, 2009, management needed to make certain assumptions about the estimated maturity date of this debt.  It was estimated that this debt would not be called prior to November 1, 2010.

(b) $600,000 Convertible debenture financing:

The Company is party to a convertible debenture with Yorkville which provided for the sale of its 14% secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000, net of deferred financing costs of $75,000.

The Debentures mature on the second anniversary of the date of issuance (October 2009).  The holder of the Debentures may, at any time, convert amounts outstanding under the Debentures into shares of common stock of the Company at the lesser of $6.00 or 85% of the 30-day VWAP.  The Company's obligations under the Purchase Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and those of its wholly owned subsidiary, CoroWare Technologies, Inc. 

The Company has the right to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Debenture prior to the Maturity Date at a 12% redemption premium plus accrued interest provided that the closing bid price of the Common Stock is less than the Conversion Price and there is an effective Registration Statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants (as defined below).  In addition, beginning on the issuance date, Yorkville may require the Company to convert any amounts owed.  However, Yorkville may not require the Company to redeem the Debentures if the closing bid price of the Common Stock exceeds the Conversion Price for each of the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the redemption date, and the Registration Statement has been declared effective and remains effective on the redemption date. The Company has the option, in its sole discretion, to settle any requested conversions by either paying cash and a 12% redemption premium plus accrued interest or issuing the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the cash amount owed divided by a stock price equal to 85% of the 30 day VWAP.

In the Company’s evaluation of this instrument in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, based on the variable conversion price and lack of authorized shares, it was determined that the conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument and did not otherwise meet the conditions for equity classification.  As such, the conversion and other features were compounded into one instrument, bifurcated from the debt instrument and carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.  The Company estimated the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments using the Monte Carlo valuation model because this methodology provides for all of the necessary assumptions necessary for fair value determination; including assumptions for credit risk, interest risk and conversion/redemption behavior. Significant assumptions underlying this methodology were: Effective Term (using the remaining term of the host instrument); Effective Volatility (89.08% - 123.72%); and Effective Risk Adjusted Yield (15.97% - 33.59%).  As a result of these estimates, the valuation model resulted in a compound derivative balance of $706,800 at inception. 

This convertible debenture matured in 2009 and is currently in default.  Management is working with Yorkville to develop a plan for repayment of this debt.  In order to estimate a value for the embedded conversion feature for financial statement presentation at December 31, 2009, management needed to make certain assumptions about the estimated maturity date of this debt.  It was estimated that this debt would not be called prior to November 1, 2010.

(c) $300,000 Convertible debenture financing:

On March 19, 2008, the Company consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 19, 2008 with Y.A. Global Investments (“Yorkville”) for the sale by the Company to Yorkville of its 14% secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000, net of deferred financing costs of $60,000 which was advanced immediately in March 2008.

The Debentures mature on the third anniversary of the date of issuance. The holder of the Debentures may, at any time, convert amounts outstanding under the Debentures into shares of common stock of the Company at a fixed conversion price per share equal to $6.00.  The Company's obligations under the Purchase Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and those of its wholly owned subsidiary, CoroWare Technologies, Inc.   Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued to Yorkville five-year warrants to purchase 33,300 shares of Common Stock at a price equal to $6.

The Company has the right to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Debenture prior to the Maturity Date at a 14% redemption premium plus accrued interest provided that the closing bid price of the Common Stock is less than the Conversion Price and there is an effective Registration Statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants (as defined below).  In addition, beginning on the issuance date, Yorkville may require the Company to convert any amounts owed.  However, Yorkville may not require the Company to redeem the Debentures if the closing bid price of the Common Stock exceeds the Conversion Price for each of the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the redemption date, and the Registration Statement has been declared effective and remains effective on the redemption date. The Company has the option, in its sole discretion, to settle any requested conversions by either paying cash and a 14% redemption premium plus accrued interest or issuing the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the cash amount owed divided by a stock price equal to 85% of the 30 day VWAP.

In the Company’s evaluation of this instrument in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, based on the variable conversion price and lack of authorized shares, it was determined that the conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument and did not otherwise meet the conditions for equity classification.  As such, the conversion and other features were compounded into one instrument, bifurcated from the debt instrument and carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.  The Company estimated the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments using the Monte Carlo valuation model because this methodology provides for all of the necessary assumptions necessary for fair value determination; including assumptions for credit risk, interest risk and conversion/redemption behavior. Significant assumptions underlying this methodology were: Effective Term (using the remaining term of the host instrument); Effective Volatility (89.08% - 123.72%); and Effective Risk Adjusted Yield (15.97% - 33.59%).  As a result of these estimates, the valuation model resulted in a compound derivative balance of $150,000 at inception.  The Company also determined that the warrants did not meet the conditions for equity classification because share settlement and maintenance of an effective registration statement are not within its control.  The fair value allocated to the warrants instruments was $50,000 at inception. The remaining $100,000 was allocated to the carrying value of the debenture.

The Company estimates fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective of measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, the Company considers, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement.  For less complex derivative instruments, such as free-standing warrants, the Company generally uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments.  For complex derivative instruments, such as embedded conversion options, the Company generally use the Flexible Monte Carlo valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including credit risk, interest-rate risk and exercise/conversion behaviors) that are necessary to fair value these more complex instruments.  Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of its common stock, which has a high-historical volatility.  Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.

Changes in the fair value of the compound derivative and, therefore, derivative income (expense) related to the compound derivative is significantly affected by changes in the Company’s trading stock price and the credit risk associated with its financial instruments. The fair value of the warrant derivative is significantly affected by changes in the Company’s trading stock prices.

The aforementioned allocations to the compound and warrant derivatives resulted in the discount in the carrying value of the note to zero. The discount, related deferred finance costs and future interest payments are amortized through periodic charges to interest expense using the effective interest method.

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES

The Company follows ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of (a) temporary difference between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carry forwards. No net provision for refundable Federal income tax has been made in the accompanying statements of operations because no recoverable taxes were paid previously. Similarly, no deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating loss carry forward has been recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be realized.

The current year provision for refundable Federal income tax consists of the following at December 31, 2009 and 2008:

   
2009
   
2008
 
Refundable income tax attributable to:
           
  Current operations

  Less, change in valuation allowance
    (1,800,000 )     (614,000 )
  Net refundable amount
  $ -     $ -

At December 31, 2009, the Company had an unused net operating loss carryover approximating $24,400,000 that, subject to certain utilization limitations, is available to offset future taxable income, if any. The net operating losses expire from 2022 through 2029.

As of December 31, 2009, there was approximately $21,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over the next year.

Directors’ compensation:

The Company has not paid and does not presently propose to pay cash compensation to any director for acting in such capacity.  For 2009 services, each director was compensated with 15,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock.  In addition, the chairman was awarded 7,500 shares.  There were no shares awarded for committee membership.

For 2008, Board compensation was also paid in restricted shares of the common stock of the Company, but under the following schedule:

     Annual fee for outside Board membership and meeting attendance -
restricted common stock valued at $25,000
     Annual fee for audit committee chair -
restricted common stock valued at $8,000
     Annual fee for compensation, nominating and other chairs -
restricted common stock valued at $6,500
     Annual fee for committee membership -
restricted common stock valued at $5,000
     Options awarded in January valued at closing price on grant date -
options for shares valued at $50,000

Under this plan, all restricted common stock was delivered to board members monthly as earned by attendance, either by phone or in person and new directors received restricted common stock valued at $130,000, which vested ratably over 24 months.

NOTE 12 - OTHER STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

a) Preferred stock Series A:

The Company has authorized 125,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.   Each share of Series A Preferred Stock i) pays a dividend of 5%, payable at the discretion of the Company in cash or common stock (ii) is convertible immediately after issuance into the Company's common stock at the lesser of $.005 per share or 75% of the average closing bid prices over the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion (iii) has a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share, (iv) may be redeemed by the Company at any time up to five years after the issuance date for $1.30 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, (v)  has no voting rights except when mandated by Delaware law.

There were no shares of Series A Preferred Shares outstanding at any time during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

b)  Preferred stock Series B:

The Company has authorized 525,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock i) pays a dividend of 5%, payable at the discretion of the Company in cash or common stock, (ii) is convertible immediately after issuance into the Company's common stock at the lesser of $15 per share or 75% of the average closing bid prices over the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion (iii) has a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share, (iv) may be redeemed by the Company at any time up to five years after the issuance date for $1.30 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, (v) ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Stock upon liquidation of the Company and (vi) has no voting rights except when mandated by Delaware law.

During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, -0- and 35,000 shares of the Company’s Series B preferred stock converted into -0- and 6,199 shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion price of $-0- and $18.00, and an additional  -0- and 71 shares of common stock were issued for accrued dividends converted at $-0- and $52.50 per share in accordance with the terms of the Series B preferred shares certificate of designation.

 
F-27

 

Based upon the Company’s evaluation of the terms and conditions of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company concluded that their features are more akin to a debt instrument than an equity instrument, which means that the Company’s accounting conclusions are generally based upon standards related to a traditional debt security. The Company’s evaluation concluded that the embedded conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument due to certain variability in the conversion price, and it further did not meet the conditions for equity classification. Therefore, the Company is required to bifurcate the embedded conversion feature and carry it as a liability.

The Company estimated the fair value of the compound derivative using a common stock equivalent and the current share price of the Company’s common stock.  As a result of this estimate, the Company’s valuation model resulted in a compound derivative balance associated with the Series B preferred stock of $274,251 and $212,888 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  This amount is included in mandatorily redeemable preferred stock as a liability on the Company’s balance sheet.  Fair value adjustments of ($61,363) and $37,112 were charged to derivative income (expense) for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

c) Preferred stock Series C:

The Company has authorized 500,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. During 2007 the Company initiated a private offering under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Private Offering”), of an aggregate of 500,000 units (collectively referred to as the “Units”) at a price of $1.00 (one dollar) per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at the lesser of  eighty five percent (85%) of the average closing bid price of the Common Stock over the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion or  $0.04 and stock purchase warrants equal to the number of shares of common stock converted from the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, exercisable at $.06 per share and which expire five (5) years from the conversion date.  The Company raised $35,000 under this financing during 2007.

All shares of Series C Preferred stock were converted into 19,806 shares of common stock during the second quarter of 2008 at a conversion price of $1.80 per share.
