REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. and Subsidiary
Boise, Idaho
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Company) as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 audit 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. and Subsidiary as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods described above 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 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered reoccurring losses and negative cash flow from operations, both of which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PCS EDVENTURES!.COM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2014 and 2013
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The consolidated financial statements presented are those of PCS Edventures!.com, Inc., an Idaho corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary, PCS LabMentors, Ltd., a Canadian company (collectively, the Company). On July 31, 2013, the Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a Canadian company owned by Joseph Khoury (JAK) proposing a purchase agreement in which JAK shall purchase LabMentors from PCS for USD $ 150,000 . This sale was finalized during the period ending September 30, 2013. (see NOTE 18)
On August 3, 1994, PCS Education Systems, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of Idaho to develop and operate stand-alone learning labs.
In October 1994, PCS exchanged common stock on a one-for-one basis for common stock of PCS Schools, Inc. As a result of this exchange, PCS Schools, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of PCS. In the late 1990s, the Company divested the stand-alone learning labs to focus more on a hands-on module coupled with web-based technology for use in the classroom.
On March 27, 2000, PCS changed its name from PCS Education Systems, Inc. to PCS Edventures!.com, Inc.
On November 30, 2005, PCS entered into an agreement with 511092 N.B. LTD., a Canadian corporation, (LabMentors) to exchange PCS common stock for common stock of 511092 N.B. LTD. as disclosed in the 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on December 9, 2005 and amended on February 15, 2006. As a result of the definitive Share Exchange Agreement, 511092 N.B. LTD. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In December 2005, the name of this subsidiary was formally changed to PCS LabMentors, Ltd. The Company divested the wholly owned subsidiary in August of 2013 .
On January 31, 2013, PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. formed a subsidiary called Premiere Science Inc. incorporated and registered in the State of Idaho. The subsidiary is 100 % wholly owned by PCS Edventures!.com,Inc. and was formed to use as an additional sales and marketing tool to gain other business opportunities. There were no operations for the subsidiary during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014.
NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN
The Companys consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The established sources of revenues are not sufficient to cover the Companys operating costs. The Company has accumulated significant losses and payables and generated negative cash flows. The combination of these items raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans with respect to alleviating this adverse position are as follows:
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 , PCS continued its transition to more effective marketing and sales strategies including focused targeting of afterschool markets and building a personal sales force to penetrate the classroom market. PCS doubled its field sales force in Q3 and Q4 and plans to continue this expansion in FY2015. PCS also recognizes that its experience in operating learning centers creates a unique opportunity to supplement the current PCS business model through opening learning centers through licensing arrangements that will facilitate fast growth. This approach combines PCS expertise in experiential learning with its considerable store of intellectual property comprised of learning frameworks, content, proprietary hardware, and software developed over the past two decades while increasing the throughput of our existing direct sales efforts. This marketing approach will incorporate the large body of PCS intellectual property into an afterschool program that families will pay tuition to attend.
The business plan proposes the continued promotion and growth of the PCS Learning Center to further demonstrate proof of the concept, and the opening of a second learning center in the Boise market in FY2015. The premise of the business plan is two-fold: 1) learning center revenues will be more consistent and predictable for the Company to plan and manage cash and growth; and 2) an established network of learning centers will serve as highly effective showrooms for sales of PCS products and services into neighboring districts. Also of note, close partnerships with schools provide an opportunity to test and improve PCS products on a regular basis.
34
Also related to the learning center business, PCS signed a license and royalty agreement with Creya Learning of India (CL). CL will use PCS content and support services to implement experiential learning curriculums into Indian schools and to build out a network of experiential learning centers in India that will function as premier afterschool locations as well as product showrooms. PCS, as part of the agreement, will receive ongoing royalties on the tuition charged to students attending PCS based programs. Also, in Q3, FY2014, PCS was awarded a $ 660 K base contract for the development of STEM outreach programs by Tatweer Holding Company (THC) of Saudi Arabia and in Q4, PCS was awarded a $ 133 K STEM training contract by THC. PCS continues to pursue additional international opportunities to offset the continued challenges to the domestic economy and to take advantage of global market needs for PCS type products and services.
Product development in FY2014 has focused on continued improvements and refinements to PCS products and curriculum, primarily engineering with its new 3D interactive curriculum and with PCS Robotics related materials as we pursue an aggressive upgrade strategy with our hardware and software. Executive management continues in its conviction that the K12 educational robotics market represents a viable market opportunity for PCS.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2014 , revenue was $ 707,147 up 54 % from the same quarter last year, the Company had a net loss of ($ 202,467 ), compared to a loss of ($ 260,247 ) in the same quarter last year which was a significant improvement. Revenue for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014, were $ 1,855,711 , a decrease of 33 % compared to the same period in the prior year. Net loss for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2014 was ($ 961,215 ). Net loss for the same period of the prior year, after the derivative charge of $ 78,408 for the change in fair value of the derivatives related to a portion of our debt (see Note 8 and 9) was ($ 671,565 ). Cash flow from operations for the twelve months ended was $( 1,122,778 ).
While the efforts put in by management and the entire employee team are beginning to be realized, as illustrated by the improved results during the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2014 , the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish the plans described to raise capital as needed, to continue to monitor and reduce overhead costs, and to attain profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern

NOTE 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Accounting Method
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a March 31 year-end.
35
b. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
c. Concentration of Credit Risks and Significant Customers
The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses which when realized have been within the range of management's expectations. The Company does not require collateral from its customers. The Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts of $ 4,063 and $ 2,669 for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 , respectively.
During one of the last two fiscal years ending March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, the following major customers exceeded 10 % of revenue:

d. Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of our subsidiary is considered the local currency. Our PCS LabMentors' subsidiary has a functional currency in Canadian dollars (CAD). The subsidiarys financial statements have been translated into US dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles regarding foreign currency translation. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date and all revenues and expenditures are translated at the average rate for the period. Translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the net change for the year are reflected separately in the statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). Through this, all of the Companys financial documents are stated within the functional currency of the parent company, which is the United States dollar (USD).
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles regarding the presentation of the Statement of Cash Flows, the cash flows of the subsidiary are translated using the weighted average exchange rates during the respective period. As a result, amounts in the statement of cash flows related to changes in assets and liabilities will not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet that was translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period.
36
e. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2008 , the Company adopted guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Beginning on January 1, 2009, the Company also applied the guidance to non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which includes goodwill and intangible assets. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Companys assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the balance sheets as of March 31, 2014 . The derivative liability ended on January 14, 2013 when the promissory note was repaid in full.

The standard issued by the FASB concerning the fair value option for financial assets and liabilities became effective for the Company on January 1, 2008 . The standard establishes a fair value option that permits entities to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value options have been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. For the periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 there were no applicable items on which the fair value option was elected.
f. Revenue Recognition
PCS recognizes revenue for its two revenue streams: Product (Learning Labs) and Licensing in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards pertaining to revenue recognition of single unit and/or multiple deliverables.
The Company recognizes product revenue in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards, which is codified under FASB ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition, under which revenue is recognized when it is realizable and when earned.
Licensing Revenue is in relation to the sales of the learning labs. This revenue is based on a contractual term of one year, which begins when the physical lab is shipped to the customer. Should the customer terminate the licensing prior to the expiration of the contract, PCS does not have an obligation to refund any portion of the fees. As such, revenue is amortized and recorded over the life of the contractual license, in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards.

h. Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements consolidate the accounts of the parent company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated through consolidation.
i. Provision for Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recorded net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, and results of recent operations. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
We record uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two -step process whereby ( 1 ) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and ( 2 ) those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related taxing authority. The Company has no uncertain tax positions to disclose.
Net deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following components as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 :

At March 31, 2014 the Company had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $ 12,039,451 that may be offset against future taxable income. No tax benefit has been reported in the March 31, 2014 consolidated financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount .
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 , net operating loss carry forward for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, the net operating loss carry-forward may be limited as to use in future years.
The Company and its subsidiary file income tax returns in the United States, Canada, the State of Idaho and the State of California. The statute of limitations on a Federal tax return is the due date of the tax return plus three years. In the case of NOLs, the year in which the NOL was generated remains open up to the amount of the NOL until the statute of limitations expires on the year it was used. PCS Edventures first filed a tax return in 1994 . Therefore no statutes have closed. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits to report in the current period.
The Companys policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.
Canadian tax laws allow a company to recoup a significant amount of research and development costs. As a result, the Company has continued to conduct its research and development within Fredericton, New Brunswick and continue to apply for such tax incentives. In addition, income taxes are/will be prepared in accordance with Revenue Canada guidelines so as to maximize additional incentives, when available.
j. Basic Loss Per Share
The computation of basic loss per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards. Diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share as the result of the anti-dilutive nature of the stock equivalents.

k. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No . 2013 - 02 , Comprehensive Income (Topic 220 ): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to:
- Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period; and
- Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense.
39
The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 , for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No . 2013 - 02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No . 2013 - 01 , Balance Sheet (Topic 210 ): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities , which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011 - 11 . The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011 - 11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the Board determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs. Like ASU 2011 - 11 , the amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013 . The adoption of ASU 2013 - 01 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
l. Educational Software
Educational software was purchased by the Company as a part of its acquisition of 511092 N.B. LTD. In addition, the Company has internally developed education computer programs and student exercises to be accessed on the Internet. In accordance with financial accounting standards pertaining to internally developed software, the costs associated with research and initial feasibility of the programs and student exercises are expensed as incurred. Once economic feasibility has been determined, the costs to develop the programs and student exercises are capitalized until the software is ready for sale. At that point, the development costs are reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized programs and student exercise inventory items are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the program or exercise, generally 24 to 48 months.
The Company evaluates its purchased intangibles for possible impairment on an ongoing basis. When impairment indicators exist, the Company will perform an assessment to determine if the intangible asset has been impaired and to what extent. The assessment of purchased intangibles impairment is conducted by first estimating the undiscounted future cash flows to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of the purchased intangibles and comparing this amount with the carrying value of these assets. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amounts, impairment exists and future cash flows are discounted at an appropriate rate and compared to the carrying amounts of the purchased intangibles to determine the amount of the impairment.
During fiscal year ending March 31, 2012 , the Company reassessed the acquired assets and recognized $ 92,468 of impairment of intangible assets pertaining to the education software acquired with and subsequently developed at LabMentors. No additions or changes occurred during fiscal year ending March 31, 2013. No additions or changes occurred during fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.
m. Intellectual Property
The Company's intellectual property consists of capitalized costs associated with the development of the Internet software and delivery platform developed by the Company to enable access to the various educational programs and exercises developed by the Company. In accordance with generally accepted accounting standards as discussed previously regarding inventory, the initial costs associated with researching the delivery platform and methods were expensed until economic feasibility and acceptance were determined. Thereafter, costs incurred to develop the Internet online delivery platform and related environments were capitalized until ready for sale. Costs incurred thereafter to maintain the delivery and access platform are expensed as incurred. These capitalized costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the Companys delivery and access platform, which has been determined to be 60 months.
40
n. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are being depreciated for financial accounting purposes on the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years. Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the results of operations.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expense. Renewals and betterments are capitalized.
o. Finished Goods Inventory
Finished goods inventory is composed of items produced in-house, as well as items from outside suppliers. These items include, but are not limited to, KNEX manipulatives, fischertechnik® manipulatives, Eduwise manipulatives, LEGO® manipulatives, digital media equipment, furniture units, curriculum, blocks, PCS Academy of Science TM science kits, poster packs, and other miscellaneous items used in our various labs. Our inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market and valued using the average cost method for each item. In addition, we have established a reserve for obsolete and slow moving items.
p. Stock Options and Stock Grants
Effective January 1, 2006 , the Company accounts for stock issued for employee benefits and goods and services received from non-employees in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards. The Company is required to recognize expense of options or similar equity instruments including restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Application of this standard requires significant judgment regarding the assumptions used in the selected option-pricing model, including stock price volatility and employee exercise behavior.
Most of these inputs are either highly dependent on the current economic environment at the date of grant or forward-looking over the expected term of the award.
The Company accounts for shares issued to employees and others based upon the closing price of our common stock at the grant date.
The Company has granted options and warrants to purchase PCS Edventures!.com common stock. These instruments have been valued using the Black-Scholes model and are fully detailed in Note 13 .
q. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow risks or market-risks that may affect the fair values of its financial instruments. The Company utilizes various types of financing to fund our business needs, including preferred stock with warrants attached and other instruments not indexed to our stock. The Company is required to record its derivative instruments at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings in accordance with ASC 815 . The Company utilized multinomial lattice models that value the derivative liability within the notes based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model.

NOTE 9 DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow risks or market-risks that may affect the fair values of its financial instruments. The Company utilizes various types of financing to fund our business needs, including convertible debts with conversion features and other instruments not indexed to our stock. The convertible notes include fluctuating conversion rates. The Company uses a lattice model for valuation of the derivative. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in income in accordance with ASC 815 . The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within the 12 months of the balance sheet date.
As discussed in Note 8 under convertible notes, the Company issued convertible notes payable that provide for the issuance of convertible notes with variable conversion provisions. The conversion terms of the convertible notes are variable based on certain factors, such as the future price of the Companys common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued is based on the future price of the Companys common stock. As of March 31, 2013 , the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of promissory notes and warrants could exceed the Companys maximum number of authorized common shares. Due to the fact that the number of shares of common stock issuable is not able to be determined definitively, the equity environment is tainted and all additional convertible debentures and warrants are included in the value of the derivative. Pursuant to ASC 815 - 15 Derivatives, the fair values of the variable conversion option and warrants and shares to be issued were recorded as derivative liabilities on the issuance date. The fair values of the Companys derivative liabilities were estimated at the issuance date and are revalued at each subsequent reporting date, using a lattice model. The derivative ended due to the final payment of the convertible promissory note on January 14, 2013, in which the Company had no derivative liabilities at March 31, 2013. The change in fair value of the derivative liabilities for the twelve months ended March 31, 2013 resulted in a loss of ($ 78,408 ), respectively, which was reported as other income/(expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.
The following presents the derivative liability value by instrument type at March 31, 2014 and 2013 :

Key inputs and assumptions used to value the convertible debentures and warrants issued during the twelve months ended March 31, 2013 :
The projected volatility curve for each valuation period was based on the historical volatility of the Company.
The stock price would fluctuate with the Company projected volatility.
An event of default for the convertible note would occur 5 % of the time, increasing 1.00 % per month to a maximum of 10 %.
Alternative financing for the convertible note would be initially available to redeem the note 0 % of the time and increase monthly by 1 % to a maximum of 10 %.
The monthly trading volume would average $ 200,000 in the period and would increase at 5 % per month.
The Holder would automatically convert the notes at the greater of two times the conversion price or stock price if the registration was effective and the Company was not in default.
The Holder would exercise the warrant at maturity if the stock price was above the exercise price.
The Holder would exercise the warrant at target prices starting at the greater of two times the exercise price or the stock price; and lowering such target as the warrants approached maturity.
The Holder would automatically convert all of the shares at a stock price of price equal to the target price.
The Holder would convert on a monthly basis in amounts not to exceed the average quarters trading volume based on historical performance, assuming the volume would increase by 5 % each month.

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
a. Operating Lease Obligation
The Company leases its main office under a non-cancelable lease agreement accounted for as an operating lease. The lease expired in May 2012. This lease was extended for 13 months beginning June 1, 2012 . Rent expense for the corporate offices was $ 21,196 and 26,041 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 , and $ 99,318 and $ 107,717 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 , respectively, under this lease arrangement.

Effective October 2010 LabMentors entered into a five year office lease. This lease was cancelled effective July 1, 2012 , which resulted in a penalty for early termination of the lease equal to three months rent. The Company was able to obtain a new, fully furnished office at the National Research Council facility effective July 1, 2012.

c. Contingencies
During the year ended March 31, 2012 , the Company worked with the State of California and a private consulting firm specializing in California State sales and use tax in relation to a review of sales and use tax for our California customers during the period April 1, 2002 through June 30, 2011. During this period, there was an estimated $ 0.6 million in reportable sales in which the Company did not file or collect sales and use tax, as required by California State law. The review determined that approximately $ 60,000 in prior period sales and use tax, including interest and late fees, was due to the California State Board of Equalization (BOE) as of June 30, 2011. Of this amount the Company was successful in collecting approximately $ 41,000 from prior customers. A check in the amount of $ 41,473 was mailed to the BOE on August 31, 2011 and applied against the liability leaving a balance of $ 7,146 in sales and use tax and $ 13,316 in interest. The Company was able to work with the BOE to have all penalties allotted, relieved from the account. The estimated recognized loss due to the inability to collect from customers was decreased to adjust the reported loss during fiscal year 2011 from $ 30,000 to approximately $ 7,100 during the quarter ending September 30, 2011. The Company was able to establish a payment plan with the Board of Equalization to begin payments starting February 20, 2012 in the amount of $ 3,542 per month until the remaining balance is paid in full. The final payment was paid in July 2012.

NOTE 13 - DILUTIVE INSTRUMENTS
Stock Options and Warrants
The Company is required to recognize expense of options or similar equity instruments issued to employees using the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based payments in compliance with the financial accounting standard pertaining to share-based payments. This standard covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Application of this pronouncement requires significant judgment regarding the assumptions used in the selected option pricing model, including stock price volatility and employee exercise behavior. Most of these inputs are either highly dependent on the current economic environment at the date of grant or forward-looking over the expected term of the award.

NOTE 15 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Companys concentration of credit risk consists primarily of trade receivables. In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers, which generally range from net 30 to 45 days. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses, which, when realized, have been within the range of management's expectations. The allowance is based on the higher of the prior three-year historical uncollectable accounts as a percentage of sales or specifically identified aging accounts over 90 days. Total bad debt allowance as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, was $ 4,063 and $ 2,669 , respectively. The bad debt expense for the year ending March 31, 2014 was ($ 52,134 ) predominantly due to allowance of the long-term Note receivable generated from the Labmentor sale.
NOTE 16 OTHER ASSETS
During the year ended March 31, 2009 , the Company contracted for the production of a plastic mold (a covering for the third generation proprietary electronic controller, The Brain). The Brain is incorporated into AOR product line. The cost of the mold was $ 28,426 . The cost is amortized on a per unit basis with a total estimated 10,000 units. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had amortized 2,805 units. Due to usage of the mold being slower than anticipated an additional amortization charge of $ 4,592 was recorded during the year ended March 31, 2012 to better approximate straight-line depreciation. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, the Company continued to use the straight-line method to depreciate the mold. As a cost savings measure the Company outsourced some of its manufacturing to a company in China for the controller case, The Brain, in which a new mold was created. The cost of the mold was $ 7,088 USD. Use of this mold began in December 2012, in which at that time amortization began using the straight-line method. Amortization of the mold is included in cost of sales for AOR. The Company recorded a charge of $ 3,849 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 for the amortization of both molds. The Company recorded a charge of $ 4,439 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 for the amortization of both molds.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9(A). Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) defines such term. We have designed these controls and procedures to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. We have also designed our disclosure controls to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in this case, our Controller, as appropriate, to allow them to make timely decisions regarding our required disclosures.
Our
management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2014. Based on this evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer, as principal executive officer and Vice President/Controller, acting as principle financial officer,
concluded that our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, including the accumulation and communication of
disclosures to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice President/Controller, acting as principle financial
officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure were not effective as of this date to provide
reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s
rules and forms. The Company’s year-end closing process did not adequately ensure that all transactions were
accounted for in accordance with GAAP and that required adjustments were made to the financial statements to prevent them
from being materially misstated. Management acknowledges that as a smaller reporting entity, it is difficult to have adequate
accounting staff to perform appropriate additional reviews of the financial statements. In addition, three personnel
positions turned over in the finance area just prior to year-end and training new personnel has taken
time.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting .
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes.
Because of its inherent
limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems
determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Our management, including
our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President/Controller, acting as principle financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure
controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well
conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further,
the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls
can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Management believes
that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer, the principal executive officer and Vice President/Controller, acting as principle financial
officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014. In
making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. As a result of its review, management identified
a material weakness in the internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness was evidenced through the Company’s
year-end closing process, which did not adequately ensure that all transactions were accounted for in accordance with GAAP and
that required adjustments were made to the financial statements to prevent them from being materially misstated. Based on this
evaluation, our management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and Vice President/Controller, acting as
principle financial officer, concluded, as of March 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
Management acknowledges that as a smaller reporting entity, it is difficult to have adequate accounting staff to perform appropriate
additional reviews of the financial statements. In addition, three personnel positions turned over in the finance area just prior to year-end and training new personnel has
taken time.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only managements report in this Annual Report.

Audit Committee Financial Expert.
We chartered an audit committee in 2001 for the purpose of engaging an accounting firm, which is currently M&K CPAs, PLLC, for the annual audit and quarterly reviews. The audit committee currently consists of Board members Murali Ranganathan and Dehryl A Dennis. Mr. Ranganathan is considered an audit committee financial expert based on his previous work experience and the definition contained in Reg. 228.401 Instructions to paragraph (e)(1) of Item 401 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The audit committee continued to implement its Charter regarding the scope and responsibilities for the audit committee adopted in fiscal year 2005 and revised in fiscal year 2010. The audit committee meets with M&K CPAs, PLLC via telephone on a quarterly basis and meets separately with management to review quarterly financial results and discuss any issues. The audit committee facilitated a teleconference meeting with the Board of Directors and M&K CPAs, PLLC during the Companys Annual Meeting. In addition, the audit committee discusses auditing issues as needed during regularly scheduled board meetings, which are documented in the Companys minutes.
Compensation of Directors.
Effective October 1, 2009, the Board resolved and adopted the annual fees to be paid to outside Directors of the Board to be $30,000 annually and paid in the form of Restricted Stock Units, or other form authorized under the PCS 2009 Equity Incentive Plan as the Board determines. Effective September 1, 2012, the Board resolved and adopted the annual fees to be paid to outside Directors of the Board be reduced to $15,000 annually and paid in the form of Restricted Stock Units, or other form authorized under the PCS 2009 Equity Incentive Plan as the Board determines. Restricted Stock Units are subject to forfeiture as described in the 2009 Plan. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $20,000 of director fees accrued. The CEO is excluded from receiving additional compensation as a Board member beginning the second fiscal quarter of 2006 by unanimous consent of the Board.

(i) Don Farley resigned effective August 1, 2013 announced on the 8-K dated July 29 th , 2013. Restricted Stock Unit agreements for non-management directors call for payment of current year director fees via issuance of restricted stock units over a vesting period of not less than twelve months, and require continued service for twelve months and reelection at the next annual shareholder meeting. Therefore Don Farleys restricted stock units for fiscal year 2014 were forfeited upon resignation.
Employment Agreements
We had written employment agreements with the following two employees:
Brett A. Newbold, Chief Operating Officer - The contract with Mr. Newbold provides for a six-month Employment Agreement whereby he is to be paid $5,000 in cash and an additional 5,000 shares per month in restricted stock awards. The Employment Agreement cannot be terminated by PCS during the six-month period without cause. Mr. Newbold received 100,000 shares of restricted stock as a signing bonus. He was also granted options to purchase 150,000 shares of PCS common stock under the PCS 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, with an exercise price of $0.04 per share based on the market value of the stock on the date of the grant. Mr. Newbold is also eligible for standard benefits provided to all employees. This agreement was terminated upon Mr. Newbolds departure in February 2013.
Anthony A. Maher, Former Chief Executive Officer and Former Director of the Company - Mr. Maher, an employee of the Company, resigned as an Officer and a Director of the Company last summer and was given an Employment Contract that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 12, 2011 on a Form 8-K Current Report dated October 10, 2011. Mr. Maher had been assisting the Company in the business development and finance areas. January 16, 2012, Anthony A. Maher returned from medical leave. An Amended Employment Agreement was executed effective January 1, 2012, rescinding effective December 31, 2011, the prior Employment Agreement dated August 26, 2011. Under this Agreement, Mr. Maher receives a monthly salary of $7,500 plus standard insurance benefits available to all employees and is an at will employee of the Company. He will report to the CEO and CFO and his role will be advisory. This agreement was terminated upon Mr. Mahers departure.
Stock Option Plans and Other Incentive Compensation Plans.
On August 27, 2009, the Board of Directors adopted and the shareholders approved the PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (2009 Plan). The 2009 Plan was designed to replace the existing 2004 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (2004 Plan). The 2009 Plan provides for the grant of various types of equity instruments, including grants of restricted and unrestricted PCS common stock as well as options and other types of awards. The 2009 Plan was implemented to align the interests of the Companys employees with those if the shareholders and to motivate, attract, and retain its employees and provide an incentive for outstanding performance. An 8K was filed on November 19, 2009 registering the Plan. On April 4, 2012, the Board adopted and the shareholders approved an Amendment to an increase in the number of shares of common stock available for grants, incentive or other purposes under the Companys 2009 Equity Incentive Plan from 4,000,000 shares to 8,000,000 shares.

Unless otherwise noted above, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by them. For purposes hereof, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities that can be acquired by such person within 60 days from the date hereof upon the exercise of warrants or options or the conversion of convertible securities. Each beneficial owner's percentage of ownership is determined by assuming that any warrants, options or convertible securities that are held by such person (but not those held by any other person) and which are exercisable within 60 days from the date hereof, have been exercised. Currently, Todd Hackett is the only beneficial owners, as defined by the Securities Exchange Commission as owners with greater than 5% ownership.
Includes 724,974 shares owned of record by Mr. Grover; of which 15,000 shares which are beneficially owned by spouse Heidi Grover

Director Independence.
We believe that all members of our Board of Directors with the exception of our Chief Executive Officer, Robert O. Grover, are independent based on the following definition of NASDAQ, which is quoted below from Rule 5605(a)(2): Independent Director means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the Companys board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. For purposes of this rule, Family Member means a persons spouse, parents, children and siblings, whether by blood, marriage or adoption, or anyone residing in such persons home. The following persons shall not be considered independent:
(A) a director who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company;
(B) a director who accepted or who has a Family Member who accepted any compensation from the Company in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve consecutive months within the three years preceding the determination of independence, other than the following:
(i) compensation for board or board committee service;
(ii) compensation paid to a Family Member who is an employee (other than an Executive Officer) of the Company; or
(iii) benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary compensation.
Provided, however, that in addition to the requirements contained in this paragraph (B), audit committee members are also subject to additional, more stringent requirements under Rule 5605(c)(2).
(C) a director who is a Family Member of an individual who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company as an Executive Officer;
(D) a director who is, or has a Family Member who is, a partner in, or a controlling Shareholder or an Executive Officer of, any organization to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments for property or services in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipients consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other than the following:
(i) payments arising solely from investments in the Companys securities; or
(ii) payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs.
64
(E) a director of the Company who is, or has a Family Member who is, employed as an Executive Officer of another entity where at any time during the past three years any of the Executive Officers of the Company serve on the compensation committee of such other entity; or
(F) a director who is, or has a Family Member who is, a current partner of the Companys outside auditor, or was a partner or employee of the Companys outside auditor who worked on the Companys audit at any time during any of the past three years.
(G) in the case of an investment company, in lieu of paragraphs (A)-(F), a director who is an interested person of the Company as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the board of directors or any board committee.
Our Board of Directors has adopted this definition of an independent director even though we are not required to have independent directors.
