The Company has developed patented, Internet content publication and distribution software that enables conversion of any media into accessible formats and allows for real time distribution to end users on any Internet connected device.

The Company is focused on developing innovations in the field of networked and device embedded audio technology. The Company owns a unique patent portfolio comprised of five issued patents in the United States, as well as three U.S. patents pending with additional patents being drafted for filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and internationally. On August 17, 2012, AEAC acquired 80% of the Company from CMG. Pursuant to the agreement: 1. CMG would retain 15% of the Company. 2. CMG would distribute to its stockholders, in the form of a dividend, 5% of the capital stock of the Company. 3. The Company entered into a Royalty Agreement with CMG to pay to CMG 10% of cash received from income earned, settlements or judgments directly resulting from the Company’s patent enforcement and licensing strategy whether received by the Company or any of its affiliates, net of any direct costs or tax implications incurred in pursuit of such strategy pertaining to the patents. 4. The Company entered into a Services Agreement with CMG whereby CMG will receive a commission of not less than 7.5% of all revenues received by the Company after the closing date from all business, clients, or other sources of revenue procured by CMG or its employees, officers or subsidiaries, and directed to the Company, and 10% of net revenues obtained from a third party described in the agreement. On March 22, 2013, the Company and AEAC entered into the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of AEAC common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger effective date would be converted into .94134 share of the Company’s common stock and the outstanding convertible debentures of AEAC (the “AEAC Debentures”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,400,200, together with accrued interest thereon of $67,732, would be assumed by the Company and then exchanged for convertible debentures of the Company (the “AE Debentures”). Effective March 25, 2013, the Merger was completed. In connection with the Merger, the stockholders of AEAC received on a pro rata basis the 24,004,143 shares of the Company’s common stock that were held by AEAC, and the former holders of the AEAC Debentures received an aggregate of 5,871,752 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to their conversion of all of the AE Debentures issued to replace the AEAC Debentures. On November 12, 2013, the Company and CMG terminated the Royalty Agreement.
