PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

We manufacture, market, and distribute internationally an energy drink under a license, now in dispute, with Playboy Enterprises, Inc., or Playboy, through our subsidiary, CirTran Beverage Corporation.  CirTran Beverage manufactures, markets, and distributes Playboy-branded energy drinks in accordance with an agreement we entered into with Play Beverages, LLC, or PlayBev, a consolidated variable interest entity, which holds the Playboy license.  Playboy asserts that the license is no longer valid and that PlayBev is no longer authorized to market the Playboy branded energy drink, which is now being litigated.  See Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

During 2013, our activities continued to be significantly restrained by the necessity to devote priority to efforts to obtaining the forbearance of our principal secured and judgment creditors, seeking to resolve disputes respecting the PlayBev license to market Playboy-licensed energy drinks, defending the numerous lawsuits to which we are a party, and obtaining additional capital.  Disputes respecting the status of the PlayBev license to market Playboy-licensed energy drinks impaired our ability to establish new distributors, damaged some of our relationships with existing distributors, and depressed revenues significantly.  On January 9, 2014, PlayBev's bankruptcy proceeding was dismissed, freeing PlayBev and, in turn, us to pursue our beverage distribution business without court supervision.  However, the validity of the license from Playboy, under which we conduct these activities, remains in dispute.  See Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

In the United States, we provide a mix of high- and medium-volume turnkey manufacturing services and products using various high-tech applications for leading electronics OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) in the communications, networking, peripherals, gaming, law enforcement, consumer products, telecommunications, automotive, medical, and semiconductor industries.  Our services include pre-manufacturing, manufacturing, and post-manufacturing services.  Our goal is to offer customers the significant competitive advantages that can be obtained from manufacture outsourcing.  We are engaged in the following business segments.

Beverage Distribution (97% and 98% of total revenue during 2013 and 2012, respectively)

CirTran Beverage manufactures, markets, and distributes Playboy-licensed energy drinks in accordance with an agreement we entered into with PlayBev, our consolidated variable interest entity that holds the Playboy license.

Contract Manufacturing (3% and 2% of total revenue during 2013 and 2012, respectively)

CirTran Products pursues contract-manufacturing relationships in the U.S. consumer products markets, including licensed merchandise sold in the sports and entertainment markets.

CirTran - Asia manufactures and distributes electronics, consumer products, and general merchandise to companies selling in international markets.  For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we recognized royalty revenue of approximately $90,000 and $77,000, respectively.

 

 

---

Prior to 2012, we also conducted activities in the marketing and media and electronics assembly operating segments, which may be reactivated.  See "Other Business Segments" below.

All of our activities during the year, as in previous years, were adversely affected by our severe shortages of working capital and cash.

References to "us," "we," and "our" and correlative terms refer to CirTran Corporation and the subsidiaries and divisions through which we conduct our activities.

PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Beverage Distribution

In May 2007, we incorporated CirTran Beverage to arrange for the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of Playboy-licensed energy drinks, flavored water beverages, and related merchandise through various distribution channels.  We also entered into an agreement with PlayBev, the licensee under a product licensing agreement with Playboy to market, manufacture, and distribute energy drinks and beverages under its brand name.  Under the terms of the PlayBev agreement, we are to provide the initial development and promotional services to PlayBev, which will collect from us a royalty based on product sales and manufacturing costs once licensed product distribution commences.  As part of our efforts to finance the initial development and marketing of the Playboy energy drink, we and other investors formed After Bev Group LLC, a majority owned subsidiary organized in California.  Effective January 1, 2010, PlayBev was required to be consolidated into our financial statements as a variable interest entity.

Regular and sugar-free versions of the Playboy energy drink, in 8.4 and 16 ounce cans, have been developed.  We currently have sales and distribution networks in 65 countries throughout Europe, Africa, Australia, the Pacific, and the Middle East, although we have been hampered in our efforts to expand our sales and distribution networks because of PlayBev's bankruptcy proceeding, which was dismissed in December 2012.  Our expansion efforts continue to be adversely affected by pending litigation against Playboy about the validity of our license to distribute a Playboy-branded nonalcoholic beverage.  We will continue to try to expand our sales and distribution network and to overcome or resolve impediments attributable to the ongoing Playboy litigation.  Energy drink sales and royalties in 2013 and 2012 accounted for 97% and 98% of total sales, respectively.

Our revenues by geographic area are as follows:

 

		Revenues
		2013				2012
South America		$	884,320			$	908,334

In an effort to obtain a court determination that the Playboy license to PlayBev to market a Playboy-branded nonalcoholic energy drink remained in force, we, in collaboration with PlayBev, filed a lawsuit in Cook County, Illinois, against Playboy and others alleging that Playboy breached, and that all defendants conspired to breach and aided and abetted Playboy's breach, of the previous product license agreement and interfered with the plaintiffs' established distributorship network.  The plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages, an injunction against termination of the previous product license and continuing interference, and other equitable and ancillary relief.  Our complaint has survived an initial motion of the defendants to dismiss and is now proceeding.  Playboy has filed a third-party complaint against us, alleging that we are the alter ego of PlayBev and, as such, should answer for any adverse judgment entered against PlayBev in the underlying trademark infringement counterclaim.  We have moved to dismiss that third-party complaint and that motion is currently pending.  See Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

If the Playboy licensing dispute is not resolved satisfactorily to us through a negotiated settlement or the recently filed litigation, PlayBev would be required to terminate its beverage distribution activities, which are currently the principal source of our revenues.  Such termination may require us to cease our activities and seek protection from creditors.

The Playboy energy drink and other products we are developing are part of a growing market segment of the beverage industry known as the "new age" or alternative beverage industry.  This beverage category includes noncarbonated, ready-to-drink iced teas, lemonades, juice cocktails, single-serve juices and fruit beverages, ready-to-drink dairy and coffee drinks, energy drinks, sports drinks, single-serve still water (flavored, unflavored, and enhanced), sodas that are considered natural, sparkling juices, and flavored sparkling beverages.

The new age beverage industry is still expanding.  According to Beverage Digest, a trade publication covering the nonalcoholic beverages industry, caffeinated energy drinks have become the fastest-growing sector of the $93 billion domestic beverage industry.  We believe this industry is growing due to current attention to new brands, non-coffee drinkers, and people interested in health and fitness.  By directing products to specific groups, such as extreme sports enthusiasts, energy drinks target consumer groups made up primarily of male teenagers and young people in their 20s.

Depending on the outcome of the PlayBev disputes with Playboy as discussed above, as we continue to market our Playboy energy drink and introduce other products, we will compete with other beverage companies not only for consumer acceptance but also for shelf space in retail outlets and for marketing focus by our distributors, all of which also distribute other beverage brands.  Our energy drink products compete with all nonalcoholic beverages.  Most of the competing products are marketed by companies with substantially greater financial resources than we have.  We also compete with regional beverage producers and "private label" soft drink suppliers.  We believe that our leading energy drink competitors are Red Bull and Monster.

Contract Marketing

CirTran Products pursues contract-manufacturing relationships in the domestic consumer products markets, including products in areas such as home/garden, kitchen, health/beauty, toys, licensed merchandise, and apparel for film, television, sports, and other entertainment properties.  Licensed merchandise and apparel are defined as items that bear the image, likeness, or logo of a product or a person, such as a well-known celebrity, that are sold or advertised to the public.  Licensed merchandise and apparel are sold and marketed in the entertainment and sports franchise industries.  We have concentrated our product development efforts into three areas: home and kitchen appliances, beauty products, and licensed merchandise.  We anticipate that these products will be introduced into the market either under one uniform brand name or under separate trademarked names owned by CirTran Products.  We are presently preparing to launch various programs in which CirTran Media, discussed below, will operate as the marketer, campaign manager, and distributor in various product categories, including beauty products, entertainment products, software products, and fitness and consumer products.  We anticipate increasing our role in this market as resources become available for allocation to this division.

The contract-manufacturing industry specializes in providing the program management, technical and administrative support, and manufacturing expertise required to take products from the early design and prototype stages through volume production and distribution.  The goal is to provide the customer with a quality product, delivered on time and at the lowest cost.  This full range of services gives the customer an opportunity to avoid large capital investments in plant, inventory, equipment, and staffing and to concentrate instead on innovation, design, and marketing.  By using our contract-manufacturing services, customers have the ability to improve the return on their investment with greater flexibility in responding to market demands and exploiting new market opportunities.

In previous years, we found that customers increasingly required contract manufacturers to provide complete turn-key manufacturing and material handling services, rather than working on a consignment basis in which the customer supplies all materials and the contract manufacturer supplies only labor.  Turn-key contracts involve design, manufacturing and engineering support, procurement of all materials, and sophisticated in-circuit and functional testing and distribution.  The manufacturing partnership between customers and contract manufacturers involves an increased use of "just-in-time" inventory management techniques that minimize the customer's investment in component inventories, personnel, and related facilities, thereby reducing their costs.

Based on the trends observed in the contract-manufacturing industry, one of our goals is to benefit from the increased market acceptance of, and reliance upon, the use of manufacturing specialists by many original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, marketing firms, distributors, and national retailers.  We believe the trend towards outsourcing manufacturing will continue.  OEMs use manufacturing specialists for many reasons, including reducing the time it takes to bring new products to market, reducing the initial investment required, accessing leading manufacturing technology, gaining the ability to better focus resources in other value-added areas, and improving inventory management and purchasing power.  An important element of our strategy is to establish partnerships with major and emerging OEM leaders in diverse segments across the electronics industry.  Due to the costs inherent in supporting customer relationships, we focus our efforts on customers with which the opportunity exists to develop long-term business partnerships.  Our goal is to provide our customers with total manufacturing solutions for both new and more mature products, as well as across product generations - an idea we call "Concept to Consumer."

Through CirTran - Asia, we design, engineer, manufacture, and supply products in the international electronics, consumer products, and general merchandise industries for various marketers, distributors, and retailers selling overseas.  This subsidiary provides manufacturing services to the direct-response and retail consumer markets.  Our experience and expertise in manufacturing enables CirTran - Asia to enter a project at various phases: engineering and design; product development and prototyping; tooling; and high-volume manufacturing.  This presence with Asian suppliers helps us maintain an international contract manufacturer status for multiple products in a wide variety of industries and has allowed us to target larger-scale contracts.

We intend to pursue manufacturing relationships beyond printed circuit board assemblies, cables, harnesses, and injection-molding systems by establishing complete "box-build" or "turn-key" relationships in the electronics, retail, and direct consumer markets.

We have developed markets for several fitness and exercise products, household and kitchen products and appliances, and health and beauty aids that are manufactured in China.  Sales of these products comprised approximately 3% and 2% of revenues reported in 2013 and 2012, respectively.  We anticipate that offshore contract manufacturing will play an increased role moving forward as resources will become available to us.

SALES AND MARKETING

Beverage Distribution

We continue to pursue beverage and ancillary product business development opportunities.

We intend to continue pursuing sales representative relationships as well as internal salaried sales executives.  If PlayBev is able to resolve the licensing dispute with Playboy so that it can expand its beverage distribution activities, we anticipate that these expansion efforts, including perhaps the establishment of additional marketing offices in Los Angeles or elsewhere, will be to support the beverage division and to provide product marketing, production, media funding, and merchandising services to the direct-response and entertainment industries.

With the growth of the beverage distribution sales before the PlayBev licensing dispute arose in 2011, we were rapidly gaining new customers, both domestically and internationally.  We consider sales and marketing as an integrated process involving direct salespersons and project managers, as well as senior executives.  We use independent sales representatives in certain geographic areas and engage consulting groups to make strategic introductions to generate new business.

In 2013 and 2012, 26% of our net sales was derived from new customers. The increase in new customer sales was caused by opening new national and international beverage sales marketing territories.

We have beverage contracts that require minimum quantity purchase orders over periods terminating between 2014 and 2024.  If the full minimum quantity orders are purchased under these current agreements, they would generate sizeable revenues to us.  The majority of these international distribution contracts are based on minimum orders they are required to purchase during the term of the contract to maintain their rights to sell the Playboy energy drink.  Revenue under these contracts is not recognized until ordered products have been shipped.  There is no assurance, except for the upfront deposits, that the parties to these agreements will meet their obligations for the minimum quantity or any level of purchases required under their respective agreements.

Contract Manufacturing

In our contract manufacturing segment, we are working aggressively to market existing products through current sales channels.  We also seek new paths to deliver products and services directly to end users, as well as motivate our distributors, partners, and other third-party sales mechanisms.  We continue to simplify and improve the sales, order, and delivery process.  We are also pursuing strategic relationships with retail distribution firms to engage with us in a reciprocal relationship whereby they would act as our retail distribution arm and we would act as their manufacturing arm, with both parties giving the other priority and first opportunity to work on the other's products.

Our expansion into manufacturing in China has allowed us to increase our manufacturing capacity and output with minimal capital investment required.  By using various subcontractors, we leverage our upfront payments for inventories and tooling to control costs and receive benefits from economics of scale in Asian manufacturing facilities.  These expenses can be upwards of $100,000 per product.  Typically, and depending on the contract, we will prepay some factories anywhere from 10% to 50% of the purchase orders for materials.  In exchange for theses financial commitments, we receive dedicated manufacturing responsiveness and eliminate the costly expense associated with capitalizing completely proprietary facilities.  In addition, we have expanded our manufacturing capabilities for our beverage division outside the United States to accommodate customers located in Europe.  In 2010, we contracted with a manufacturer in Budapest, Hungary, and in early 2011, in India, to accommodate its distributor in those areas.

During a typical contract manufacturing sales process, a customer provides us with specifications for the product it wants, and we develop a bid price for manufacturing a minimum quantity that includes manufacture engineering, parts, labor, testing, and shipping.  If the bid is accepted, the customer is required to purchase the minimum quantity, and additional product is sold through purchase orders issued under the original contract.  Special engineering services are provided at either an hourly rate or at a fixed contract price for a specified task.

COMPETITION

Beverage Distribution

The beverage industry is highly competitive.  Our energy drinks compete with others in the marketplace in terms of pricing, packaging, development of new products and flavors, and marketing campaigns.  These products compete with a wide range of drinks produced by a relatively large number of manufacturers, most of which have substantially greater financial, marketing, and distribution resources than we have.  In an effort to protect against dependence on a single source supplier, we have established multiple beverage manufacturing facilities in strategic locations.

We believe that factors affecting our ability to compete successfully in the beverage industry include taste and flavor of products, strong recognition of the Playboy brand and related branded product advertising, industry and consumer promotions, attractive and different packaging, and pricing.  We also compete for distributors.  Most of our distributors also sell products marketed by our competitors, and we will compete for the attention of these distributors to endeavor to sell our products ahead of those of our competitors, provide stable and reliable distribution, and secure adequate shelf space in retail outlets.  These and other competitive pressures in the energy beverage category could cause our products to be unable to gain or to lose market share or we could experience price erosion, which could have a material adverse affect on our business and results.

We compete not only for consumer acceptance, but also for maximum marketing efforts by multi-brand licensed bottlers, brokers, and distributors, many of which have a principal affiliation with competing companies and brands.  Our products compete with all liquid refreshments and with products of much larger and substantially better financed competitors, including the products of numerous nationally and internationally known producers such as Hansen's Energy, Diet Red, Monster Energy, Lost Energy, Joker Mad Energy, Ace Energy, Unbound Energy, Rumba energy juice, Red Bull, Rockstar, Full Throttle, No Fear, Amp, Adrenaline Rush, 180, Extreme Energy Shot, Red Devil, Rip It, NOS, Boo Koo, Vitaminenergy, and many other brands.  We also compete with companies that are smaller or primarily local in operation.  Our products also compete with private label brands such as those carried by grocery store chains, convenience store chains, and club stores.

Contract Manufacturing

We believe that the primary basis of competition in our targeted markets is comprised of manufacturing technology, quality, responsiveness, the provision of value-added services, and price.  To remain competitive, we must continue to provide technologically advanced manufacturing services, maintain quality levels, offer flexible delivery schedules, deliver finished products on a reliable basis, and compete favorably on the basis of price.

The electronic manufacturing services industry is large and diverse and is serviced by many companies, including several that have achieved significant market share.  Because of our market's size and diversity, we do not typically compete for contracts with a discreet group of competitors.  We compete with different companies depending on the type of service or geographic area.  Certain of our competitors have greater manufacturing, financial, research and development, and marketing resources.  We also face competition from current and prospective customers that evaluate our capabilities against the merits of manufacturing products internally.

 

---

REGULATION

We are subject to typical federal, state, and local regulations and laws governing the operations of manufacturing concerns, including environmental disposal, storage and discharge regulations and laws, employee safety laws and regulations, and labor practices laws and regulations.  We are not required under current laws and regulations to obtain or maintain any specialized or agency-specific licenses, permits, or authorizations to conduct our manufacturing services.  We believe we are in substantial compliance with all relevant regulations applicable to our business and operations.  All international sales permits are the responsibility of the local distributors and they are required to obtain all local licenses and permits.

EMPLOYEES

As of May 9, 2014, we employed a total staff of three full-time employees in our Utah headquarters: two in administrative and clerical positions and one in project management.  In addition, we engage six other professional consultants to provide contract services in the United States in accounting, information technology and quality control and 50 others to provide promotional services.  We believe that our relationship with our employees is good.

OTHER BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Prior to 2012, we also conducted activities in the following business segments through subsidiaries that did not have material business activities during 2013 and 2012:

CirTran Online can sell products via the Internet and provide services and support to Internet retailers.

CirTran Media can provide end-to-end services to the direct-response and entertainment industries.

CirTran Corporation can provide low-volume electronics assembly activities, consisting primarily of placing and attaching electronic and mechanical components on printed circuit boards and flexible (i.e., bendable) cables.

Although we currently devote our primary managerial and technical resources and limited funding to our nonalcoholic beverage distribution business, we may reactivate one or more of these segments if we have management and financial resources available to do so, which may occur if our rights to distribute a Playboy-branded energy drink are terminated or if additional resources become available.

CORPORATE BACKGROUND AND HISTORY

In 1987, CirTran Corporation was incorporated in Nevada under the name Vermillion Ventures, Inc., for the purpose of acquiring other operating corporate entities.  We were largely inactive until July 1, 2000, when our wholly owned subsidiary, CirTran Corporation (Utah) acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Circuit Technology, Inc.

Our predecessor business in Circuit Technology, Inc., was commenced in 1993 by our president, Iehab Hawatmeh.  In 2001, we effected a 15-for-1 forward-split of our shares and a stock distribution, which increased the number of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock.  We also increased our authorized capital from 500,000,000 to 750,000,000 shares.  In 2007, our shareholders approved a 1.2-for-1 share forward split and an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation that increased our authorized capital to 1,500,000,000 shares of common stock.  In August 2011, we increased our authorized capitalization to 4,500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

Federal securities laws require us to file information with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") concerning our business and operations.  Accordingly, we file annual, quarterly, and interim reports and other information with the SEC.  You can inspect and copy this information at the public reference facility maintained by the SEC at Judiciary Plaza, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Room 1024, and Washington, D.C. 20549.  You can get additional information about the operation of the SEC's public reference facilities by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.  The SEC also maintains a web site (http://www.sec.gov) at which you can read or download our reports and other information.

Our Internet addresses are www.cirtran.com, www.playboyenergy.com and www.racore.com.  Information on our websites is not incorporated by reference herein.  We make available free of charge through our corporate website, www.cirtran.com, our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC.

 

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

In addition to the negative implications of all information and financial data included in or referred to directly in this periodic report, you should consider the following risk factors.  This periodic report contains forward-looking statements and information concerning us, our plans, and other future events.  Those statements should be read together with the discussion of risk factors set forth below, because those risk factors could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements.

We may be deemed to be insolvent and may face liquidation.

We may be deemed to be insolvent.  We are unable to meet all of our obligations as they accrue, and the aggregate amount of our liabilities may exceed the value of our assets.  Creditors may have the right to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings against us in which they would seek our liquidation.  We cannot assure that we would be successful in avoiding liquidation by converting such liquidation proceedings to a Chapter 11 reorganization, which would permit us to develop and propose for creditor approval a reorganization plan that would enable us to proceed.  Even if we were to be able to propose a reorganization plan, any such reorganization plan would likely require that we obtain new post-petition funding, which may be unavailable.  Further, in the event of bankruptcy, our secured creditors that have encumbrances on all of our assets would likely execute and take all of our assets, which may leave nothing for other creditors or our shareholders.

---

The auditors' report for our most recent fiscal year, like previous years, contains an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We had net income of $1.2 million during 2013 and an accumulated deficit of $47.6 million as of December 31, 2013.  In addition, during 2013 cash used in operations was approximately $268,000.  We have borrowed funds in the form of short-term advances, notes, and convertible debentures with an aggregate outstanding principal and interest balance of $7.0 million as of December 31, 2013.  We had a negative working capital balance of $22.9 million as of December 31, 2013.  The report of our auditors on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, contains an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our ability to continue energy drink distribution, our principal source of revenue, is subject to interruption or termination because of disputes respecting the status of the PlayBev license to market Playboy-licensed energy drinks.

Playboy has sought to terminate PlayBev's license to market Playboy-licensed energy drinks and has fought vigorously to obtain a judicial determination that the current license has been breached and is no longer in effect.  We cannot assure that Playboy's current aggressive pursuit of such a judicial determination in our pending Illinois litigation will not continue.  See Item 3. Legal Proceedings.  If the Playboy licensing dispute is not resolved satisfactorily through a negotiated settlement or litigation in such proceeding, we would be required to terminate its beverage distribution activities, which are currently the source of our only revenue.  Such termination may require us to cease our activities and seek protection from creditors.

All of our assets are encumbered to secure the payment of an aggregate of $5.7 million in indebtedness that requires substantial monthly payments, and our default could result in the loss of all of our assets.

We have encumbered all of our assets to secure the payment of approximately $3.0 million in indebtedness due YA Global Investments, L.P., or YA Global, which requires payments of $100,000 per month through the balance of 2014.  We also have to meet certain financial and operating covenants in order to avoid default under our obligation to YA Global.

We have placed a second encumbrance on all of our assets, subject to the priority encumbrance of YA Global, to secure the payment of approximately $0.7 million in indebtedness due to Advanced Beauty Solutions, LLC, or ABS, which requires monthly payments of $7,500 through 2014, with the balance due in January 2016.

The obligations due these creditors would have to be paid in order to avoid default, notwithstanding the claims of our trade and other unsecured creditors or the results of our operations.  Because of our limited revenues and access to alternative sources of capital, we cannot assure that we will be able to meet these monthly obligations timely.  If we were to default in any payment, YA Global and ABS could exercise their remedies, including the execution on all of our assets, which would result in the termination of our activities.  We cannot assure that either YA Global or ABS would consider or agree to any forbearance from aggressive collection efforts.  The existence of these secured obligations will likely significantly impair our ability to obtain capital from external sources.

---

We are parties to numerous lawsuits that require significant management attention and funds for attorney's fees and subject us to risks of damages or other adverse judgments.

As noted in Item 3. Legal Proceedings, we are a party to numerous lawsuits, some of which remain active, requiring that we incur attorney's fees and other costs and devote management time and attention.  Litigation respecting the status of the PlayBev license to market Playboy-licensed energy drinks places the validity of that license at issue and may result in termination of that license, which is the principal source of our revenue.  Successful suits by creditors for the collection of debts may require that we pay judgment amounts, subject to the priority encumbrances in favor of secured creditors.  We may incur significant costs to pursue litigation in which we are the plaintiff without any recovery or other favorable outcome. Any judgments we may obtain against third parties may not be collectible.

We will require substantial amounts of additional capital from external sources.

Whether or not the Playboy licensing dispute being litigated in the pending Illinois proceeding reaches a negotiated settlement or results in a favorable verdict, we will require substantial additional funds to implement our marketing plan and pursue expansion of our beverage distribution business segment.  The extent of our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the financial requirements under a Playboy licensing arrangement; marketing plans; the growth of contract manufacturing; establishment of strategic alliances, joint ventures, or other collaborative arrangements; and other factors not within our control.  We anticipate that we will seek required funds from external sources.  However, our precarious financial condition, limited revenues, substantial secured indebtedness, continuing lawsuits, and uncertainties respecting the status of the PlayBev license to market Playboy-licensed energy drinks will make it difficult for us to obtain such capital.

We may seek required funds through the sale of equity or other securities.  Our ability to complete an offering on acceptable terms will depend on many factors, including the condition of the securities markets generally and for companies such as us at the time of such offering; the business, financial condition, and prospects at the time of the proposed offering; our ability to identify and reach a satisfactory arrangement with prospective underwriters; and various other factors, many of which are outside our control.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete an offering on terms favorable to us or at all.  The issuance of additional equity securities may dilute the interest of our existing shareholders or may subordinate their rights to the superior rights of new investors.

We may also seek additional capital through strategic alliances, joint ventures, or other collaborative arrangements.  Any such relationships may dilute our interest in any specific project and decrease the amount of revenue that we may receive from such project.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to negotiate any strategic investment or obtain required additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all.  In addition, our cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned because of the results of future research and development; results of product testing; potential relationships with our strategic or collaborative partners; changes in the focus and direction of our research and development programs; competition and technological advances; issues related to patent or other protection for proprietary technologies; and other factors.

If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate our planned marketing efforts; to obtain funds through arrangements with strategic or collaborative partners that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies, product candidates, or products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves; or to license our rights to such products on terms that are less favorable to us than might otherwise be available.

---

Any substantial increase in sales will require skilled management of growth.

If we have the opportunity to expand our operations, our success will depend on our ability to manage continued growth, including integration of our executive officers, directors, and consultants into an effective management and technical team; to formulate strategic alliances, joint ventures, or other collaborative arrangements with third parties; to commercialize and market our proposed products and services; and to monitor and manage these relationships on a long-term basis.  If our management is unable to integrate these resources and manage growth effectively, the quality of our products and services, our ability to retain key personnel, and the results of our operations would be materially and adversely affected.

We cannot predict the impact on our activities of the current economic crises.

The current economic crises have adversely affected and will likely continue to adversely affect our ability to expand or generate new sales.  We may be unable to expand sales in a constricted or further constricting economy.

We have issued nearly all of the shares of stock we are authorized to issue, which may limit our ability to obtain necessary financing.

We have authorized 4,500,000,000 shares of common stock, all of which has been issued as of May 22, 2014.  The Company has issued 9,100,000 shares in excess of its authorized.  Being unable to issue additional shares of common stock may limit our ability to obtain the financing we need.  It will take a vote of our stockholders to increase the number of shares we are authorized to issue, and we cannot be sure that our stockholders will vote and approve any increase.  If we are unable to increase our authorized capital, YA Global will be unable to make any conversions under the 2013 Ratification Agreement.  If we were then unable to make cash payments as necessary, we would be in default under the Ratification Agreement.  See Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

We do not have enough authorized shares available to allow the conversion and exercise of outstanding convertible debentures and options, which may subject us to liability.

We have approximately $2,390,528 in outstanding convertible debentures and outstanding options to acquire approximately 22.4 million shares of our common stock.  We do not have enough authorized shares of common stock to permit the conversion and exercise of all of those securities.  If those holders of our convertible debentures and options attempted to convert and exercise those securities, we would be unable to do so, which would subject us to liability.

Penny stock regulations will impose certain restrictions on resales of our securities, which may cause an investor to lose some or all of its investment.

The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share that is not traded on a national securities exchange or that has an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  As a result, our common stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse).  For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase.  Further, if the price of the stock is below $5.00 per share and the issuer does not have $2.0 million or more net tangible assets or is not listed on a registered national securities exchange, sales of such stock in the secondary trading market are subject to certain additional rules promulgated by the SEC.  These rules generally require, among other things, that brokers engaged in secondary trading of penny stocks provide customers with written disclosure documents, monthly statements of the market value of penny stocks, disclosure of the bid and asked prices, and disclosure of the compensation to the broker-dealer and the salesperson working for the broker-dealer in connection with the transaction.  These rules and regulations may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock, thereby effectively limiting the liquidity of our common stock.  These rules may also adversely affect the ability of persons that acquire our common stock to resell their securities in any trading market that may exist at the time of such intended sale.

ITEM 1B.  UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

On July 1, 2011, we entered into a month-to-month sub-lease agreement for our existing 40,000 square-foot headquarters and manufacturing facility, located at 4125 South 6000 West in West Valley City, Utah.  Monthly payments are $5,000.  The Premises include 10,000 square feet of office space to support administration, sales, and engineering staff and 30,000 square feet of manufacturing space, which includes a secured inventory area, shipping and receiving areas, and manufacturing and assembly space.

We believe that the facilities and equipment described above are generally in good condition, are well maintained, and are suitable and adequate for our current and projected operating needs.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are a party to the following material legal proceedings.

Advanced Beauty Solutions, LLC v. CirTran Corporation, Case No. 1:08-ap-01363-GM.

In connection with our prior litigation with Advanced Beauty Solutions, or ABS, it claimed nonperformance by us and filed an adversary proceeding in its bankruptcy case proceeding in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California, San Fernando Valley Division.  On March 17, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered judgment in favor of ABS and against us in the amount of $1,811,667, plus interest.  On September 11, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court denied our motion to set aside the judgment.

On September 8, 2010, we executed an Assignment of Copyrights, thereby assigning our Copyright Registration No. TX-6-064-955, Copyright Registration No. TX-6-064-956, and Copyright to the True Ceramic Pro - Live Ops (TCPS) infomercial and related master tapes (collectively the "Copyrights") to ABS, without reservation or exclusion, making ABS the owner of the Copyrights.

---

On February 23, 2011, we filed a Motion to Declare Judgment Fully Satisfied or Alternatively to Recoup Mutual Debts, requesting that the court determine that our assignment of the Copyrights resulted in full satisfaction of the ABS judgment.  On March 3, 2011, ABS brought a Motion for Order to Show Cause re Civil Contempt alleging that we had failed to make payments on ABS's judgment in violation of the court's orders.  At the hearing on April 6, 2011, the court denied our motion to declare the judgment fully satisfied and granted ABS's motion, but did not hold us in civil contempt.  The court also set a hearing on the ABS motion for the order to show cause for July 8, 2011, regarding our compliance with collection orders, which the parties stipulated should be postponed until August 3, 2011.  The parties attended mediation on July 11, 2011, but no formal settlement resulted.  At the hearing in August, the court found that a basis existed to hold us in contempt and set an evidentiary hearing for October 6, 2011, to determine whether to issue a contempt citation.  We appealed the denial of the motion to declare judgment satisfied.

On March 22, 2012, we entered into a formal forbearance agreement with ABS, dated as of March 1, 2012 (the "ABS Forbearance Agreement"), whereby ABS agreed to take no further judgment enforcement actions in consideration of the payment of $25,000 upon execution of the definitive ABS Forbearance Agreement and satisfaction of applicable conditions precedent.  The ABS Forbearance Agreement calls for us to pay $7,500 per month for 46 consecutive months (except for a payment of $15,000 in December 2012), commencing in March 2012, with the unpaid balance, as finally determined as provided below, due and payable in January 2016.  No interest on the principal would accrue unless the note is in default, in which case, it would bear interest at 10% per annum from the date of the ABS Forbearance Agreement.  In addition, we stipulated to an additional judgment for attorney's fees incurred in negotiating the ABS Forbearance Agreement and entering into the related definitive agreements and in related post-judgment collection efforts.  The obligation to pay $1,835,000 under the ABS Forbearance Agreement would be secured by an encumbrance on all of our assets, subject to the prior lien and encumbrance in favor of YA Global.

The principal amount of $1,835,000 due under the ABS Forbearance Agreement would be reduced by the greater of the amount of credit granted in the bankruptcy proceedings for the value of the intellectual property we previously conveyed to ABS and the amount received by ABS from the sale of such intellectual property to a third party during the term of the ABS Forbearance Agreement, plus the amount of any distribution to which we are entitled as a creditor of ABS, provided, however, that in no event would the amount due under the ABS Forbearance Agreement be reduced below $90,000, which is the amount payable during the first 12 months under the ABS Forbearance Agreement.  ABS entered into a subordination agreement subordinating the obligation under the ABS Forbearance Agreement in favor of the obligations and first-priority security interest of YA Global.  We conveyed to ABS the trademarks and intellectual property previously conveyed by ABS to us.

In May 2013, ABS sent us a notice of default under the ABS Forbearance Agreement.  Although there were some negotiations between us and ABS following the notice of default, this matter has not been resolved.

Our appeal of the approximately $1.8 million judgment that had been remanded in the ABS bankruptcy proceedings to conclusively determine the amount of credit due us for the conveyance of the intellectual property has been dismissed.  All litigation and disputes between ABS and its affiliates, on the one hand, and us and our affiliates, on the other hand, has been dismissed, including the pending order to show cause regarding contempt against us, our subsidiaries, and Iehab Hawatmeh.

We have assigned to ABS our creditor claim against the estate of ABS, to the extent of the balance due under the ABS Forbearance Agreement.  Any distribution from the ABS estate in excess of the adjusted amounts due under the ABS Forbearance Agreement will be paid to us.

YA Global Investments, LP v. CirTran Corporation, Third Judicial District Court of Salt Lake County, State of Utah, case no. 100911400.

On June 25, 2010, YA Global filed a lawsuit against us asserting claims for breach of contract, breaches of the uniform commercial code, and replevin.  YA Global seeks a judgment in the amount of $4,193,380, plus interest and attorneys fees, as well as a writ of replevin to compel us to turn over equipment and other property that YA Global claims was pledged as collateral to secure obligations owing to YA Global.  We do not dispute that we are indebted to YA Global in the amount of $3,161,355, plus interest, but we deny that we are in breach of our payment obligations because YA Global agreed to restructure the payment schedule and we relied on this agreement.

On January 24, 2011, we entered into a forbearance agreement with YA Global, including a confession of judgment in its favor.  On February 23, 2011, the court entered judgment based on the confession of judgment against us in the principal amount of $3,161,355, plus interest of $825,858.

On July 22, 2011, YA Global filed a motion in the ABS lawsuit (discussed above) seeking an order clarifying its position with respect to ABS and staying enforcement of that court's order that we pay approximately $35,000 in legal fees to ABS.  In its motion, YA Global notified us that it intended to conduct a secured party's public auction of all of our assets.  YA Global also informed us that we had defaulted under our January 2011 Forbearance Agreement and declared that all of our obligations to YA Global were immediately due and owing.  Further, YA Global stated that it intended to commence action to collect on our obligations and instructed us to assemble the assets.

At a hearing held on August 3, 2011, in the ABS reorganization proceeding referred to above on YA Global's motion to stay enforcement, YA Global noted that the date of the proposed secured party's public auction was August 30, 2011.  At the same time, YA Global notified us that the proposed sale of assets would be held on August 30, 2011.

At the hearing in the ABS matter, the Bankruptcy Court denied YA Global's motion to stay the payment of attorneys' fees by us.  Subsequently, the parties to the January 2011 settlement with YA Global entered into an agreement whereby YA Global agreed to cancel the proposed asset sale without waiver.

On September 30, 2011, YA Global directed us to assemble the collateral in order to enable it to take possession on or before October 6, 2011.  Following negotiations with YA Global, we confirmed our indebtedness to YA Global and arranged for it to take possession of collateral on October 17, 2011, on which date, all accounts receivable, collections, and other proceeds and products of the collateral would be held in trust by us for YA Global and immediately forwarded to it.  Before we were required to surrender possession of the collateral, we initiated negotiations to obtain YA Global's forbearance from collection.

On March 22, 2012, we entered into a formal forbearance agreement with YA Global, dated as of March 1, 2012 (the "2012 YA Forbearance Agreement") in which we ratified our previous obligations under the debentures and agreed to pay the debentures, $25,000 at signing the 2012 YA Forbearance Agreement, $25,000 per month in March through June 2012, $50,000 per month in July through September 2012, $75,000 in the months of October and November 2012, $100,000 per month in the months of December 2012 through May 2013, $125,000 per month in the months of June through December 2013, and the balance in December 2014 (the "Termination Date"). In addition to the above minimum payments to YA Global, we are required to pay monthly excess cash flow, to the extent cumulatively available, consisting of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, less cash deposits for product orders received but not yet shipped, actual cash taxes paid, actual cash principal and interest paid, and reasonable out-of-pocket cash paid together with reasonable cash reserves in an amount not to exceed 5% of total net sales, provided that such excess cash flow payments shall not to exceed $50,000 in March 2012 and $25,000 per month in April 2012 and thereafter, until the balance is paid. As of December 31, 2012, the balance due YA Global was $3,161,355 in principal plus $856,546 in accrued interest.

---

We continue to have the right, subject to the consent of YA Global, to pay all or any portion of the payments listed above in common stock, with the conversion price to be used to determine the number of shares being equal to the lowest closing bid price of our common stock during the 20 trading days prior to the payment date.  The amount applied as a payment on the note and accrued interest will be adjusted to the value of the actual proceeds from the sale of the stock.

YA Global agreed to forbear from enforcing its rights and remedies as a result of the existing defaults and/or converting the debentures into shares of our common stock, until the earlier of our default under the 2012 YA Forbearance Agreement or the Termination Date.

2013 Ratification Agreement

On February 22, 2013, we entered into a Ratification Agreement with YA Global.  Under this Ratification Agreement, we ratified the obligations under three existing Convertible Debentures dated May 26, 2005, December 30, 2005, and August 23, 2006, and agreed to amend, restate, and consolidate the obligations evidenced thereby into a Consolidated Debenture.

The Ratification Agreement also provides for a new payment schedule under the Consolidated Debenture that replaces the payment schedule that had been agreed to in a March 1, 2012, Forbearance Agreement among the parties.  Under the Ratification Agreement payment schedule, we are required to make monthly payments, to be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal, in the amount of $100,000 per month, commencing in April 2013.  The amount of our required monthly cash payment shall be reduced in an amount equal to the amount credited to the lender against the obligation as a result of the lender's exercise of the right to convert the outstanding balance due under the debentures into common stock, as provided in the original convertible debentures as well as in the Consolidated Debenture.  Any amount credited against the debenture obligation in excess of $100,000 per month shall be credited against the amounts due in the next succeeding month.  Between April 2013 and April 2014, YA Global converted approximately $1.3 million of the Consolidated Debenture; however, our lack of authorized capital going forward will limit YA Global's ability to make further conversion, which may result in a default under the Ratification Agreement.

Play Beverages, LLC, and CirTran Beverage Corp. v. Playboy Enterprises, Inc., et al., Cook County, Illinois, Case No. 2012L012181.

In October 2012, our wholly owned subsidiary, CirTran Beverage Corp., and PlayBev joined in filing a lawsuit alleging that Playboy breached, and that all defendants conspired to breach and aided and abetted Playboy's breach, of the previous product license agreement and interfered with the plaintiffs' established distributorship network.  The plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages, an injunction against termination of the previous product license and continuing interference, and other equitable and ancillary relief.  Our complaint has survived an initial motion of the defendants to dismiss and is now proceeding.  Playboy has filed a counterclaim alleging trademark infringement and a third-party complaint against us alleging that we are the alter ego of PlayBev, and as such, should answer for any adverse judgment entered against PlayBev in the counterclaim.

General Distributors, Inc. v. Iehab Hawatmeh and CirTran Beverage Corp. d/b/a Play Beverages LLC d/b/a Playboy Beverages, in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon, for the County of Clackamas, Case No. CV 10110087.

On November 8, 2010, General Distributors, Inc., filed a complaint asserting claims for breach of contract, liability under the Uniform Commercial Code, quasi contract - unjust enrichment, goods sold and delivered, account stated, and attorneys' fees and seeking judgment in the amount of $49,999, plus interest and attorneys fees.  A default judgment in the amount of $93,855.60 was entered against CirTran Beverage Corp. in February 2012 and domesticated in Utah in January 2013.  The plaintiff obtained a supplemental order to conduct a debtor examination in April 2013, but did not serve that order in a timely fashion and has made no other collection efforts.

Playtime Distributing of Oklahoma LLC v. CirTran Corporation, CirTran Beverage Corporation, and Play Beverages LLC, in the District Court of Oklahoma County, State of Oklahoma, Case No. CJ-2010-1058.

On December 30, 2010, Playtime Distributing of Oklahoma LLC filed suit asserting claims for breach of a distribution agreement, bad faith breach of a distribution agreement, rescission of the distribution agreement, accounting, breach of an independent sales agreement, bad faith breach of an independent sales agreement, and punitive damages and seeking judgment in an unspecified amount in excess of $75,000, plus interest and attorneys fees.  We and the other defendants have answered and denied liability.  Because of the effect of the automatic stay in connection with the In Re Play Beverages, LLC bankruptcy matter (discussed above), the litigation in this matter was stayed during those proceedings. In April 2013, discovery resumed and in April 2014, the court granted our attorney's motion to withdraw.  We have retained  new counsel in Oklahoma and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

Noble Gate Industrial v. CirTran Beverage, et al., in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, Case No. 2:14-cv-00132-TS.

Noble Gate is a former distributor of CirTran Beverage Corp. for the Playboy energy drink.  Noble Gate has alleged that it was unable to obtain necessary approvals and distribute the Playboy energy drink in Asia as a result of the litigation between Play Beverages, CirTran Beverage Corp., and Playboy.  The complaint was filed in February 2014 seeking $500,000 in damages and/or rescission.  We filed an answer to the complaint in April 2014 and filed amended answer and counter claims in May 2014.  We intend to vigorously defend this litigation and may file counterclaims against Noble Gate for breach of the distribution agreement.

USS Cal Builders, Inc. v. CirTran Beverage Corp., Iehab Hawatmeh, and Fadi Nora, in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange, Case No. 00425093.  On November 16, 2010, USS Cal Builders, Inc., filed a complaint asserting various claims and seeking damages of at least $100,000, plus interest, costs, and attorneys' fees. A default judgment for $133,897 was entered against defendants on the amended complaint in late 2011.

RDS Touring and Promotions, Inc. v. CirTran Beverage Corp., CirTran Corp., and CirTran Media Corp., in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, Case No. BC454112.  On January 31, 2011, RDS Touring and Promotions, Inc., filed a complaint asserting claims for breach of settlement agreement, fraud in the inducement, and fraud and deceit (false promise).  Following a motion filed by us, plaintiffs amended their complaint including only the contract claim.  We have answered the amended complaint.  Our California counsel withdrew from representing us and a default judgment for $118,426 was taken against us, which the plaintiffs are now seeking to collect in Utah.

American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. v. CirTran Corporation d/b/a Diverse Media Group and Iehab Hawatmeh, in the Third District Court, State of Utah, Salt Lake County.  In this action, American Express asserted a claim for $108,029 in principal and $24,269 in interest due on a credit card account.  In January 2014, we obtained an order and judgment dismissing the claim.  We then filed a claim for approximately $31,000 in attorneys' fees, which was denied in April 2014.

Ayad Jaber, Ramzy Fakhoury, Haya Enterprises, LLC v. CirTran Beverage Corporation, Play Beverages LLC, Iehab Hawatmeh, and Fadi Nora, in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange, Case No. 0443807.  On January 24, 2011, plaintiffs filed a complaint asserting claims based on alleged breaches of various written and oral promises and seeking damages of $700,000 in principal from us, plus $1,219,520 in principal from all defendants, $200,000 from Fadi Nora, and other unspecified amounts.  On April 20, 2011, the court entered default judgments against Fadi Nora, Play Beverages, LLC, and us.  The default judgments were set aside pursuant to a stipulation and the court granted defendants leave to file an answer, cross complaint, and a motion to recuse opposing counsel.  Plaintiffs opposed the cross complaint.  In August 2012, we entered into a settlement agreement and release in this matter in which we agreed that PlayBev would issue to the plaintiffs $2.1 in equity in PlayBev at the same price at which equity is issued in the reorganization of PlayBev under the PlayBev bankruptcy proceeding, which was then still pending.  The status of this settlement agreement in view of the subsequent dismissal of the PlayBev bankruptcy proceeding has not been determined.

Jimmy Esebag v. CirTran Corporation and Fadi Nora, Superior Court of the State of California, Los Angeles County, Case No. BC296162.  On July 15, 2010, the court entered judgment against us in the amount of $68,270 based upon our failure to make payments when due under a settlement with Mr. Esebag.  Mr. Esebag has engaged in some actions to collect on the judgment, with a judgment debtor examination of an affiliate of ours in October 2013.  These amounts have been accrued in full as a liability.

Don L. Buehner v. CirTran Corporation, Third District Court for Salt Lake Count, State of Utah, Case No. 090905567.  Judgment was entered against our Utah subsidiary in April 2009 in the amount of $125,922.75.  The plaintiff continues to engage in collection efforts.

 

Redi FZE v. CirTran Beverage Corp, in the Third District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, Civil No. 110915101.  In a complaint filed in June 2011, Redi asserted claims for breach of contract, fraud, and negligent misrepresentations.  CirTran Beverage Corp. filed a counterclaim against Redi FZE and its principal, Paul Levin, for breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and a third-party claim for tortious interference against Paul Levin.  On November 21, 2011, the court granted an injunction against Redi FZE, enjoining it from manufacturing, marketing, or distributing any nonalcoholic beverages identified by the trademarked Playboy, PlayBev, and Play Beverages names or the Playboy rabbit head design in the United Kingdom, France, or the Netherlands through June 13, 2013.  During 2012, counsel for Redi FZE withdrew and no new counsel appeared.  On November 21, 2011, we obtained a $1.2 million default judgment against Redi FZE.  We were able to serve Paul Levin in early 2013, but his responsive pleading is not yet due.  In August 2013, we obtained a $1.4 million default judgment against Mr. Levin and are currently weighing the likelihood of success in collecting the judgment.

PART II

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Our common stock is traded in the over-the-counter market.  The following table sets forth for the respective periods indicated the prices of the common stock in the over-the-counter market, as reported and summarized by the OTC Bulletin Board.  Such prices are based on inter-dealer bid and asked prices, without markup, markdown, commissions, or adjustments and may not represent actual transactions.

As of May 27, 2014, we had approximately 500 shareholders of record.

We have not declared any dividends on our common stock since our inception, and do not intend to declare any such dividends in the foreseeable future.  Our ability to pay dividends is subject to limitations imposed by Nevada law.  Under Nevada law, dividends may be paid to the extent the corporation's assets exceed its liabilities and it is able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business.

Penny Stock Rules

Our shares of common stock are subject to the "penny stock" rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and various rules under this Act.  In general terms, "penny stock" is defined as any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  The rules provide that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the SEC, authorized for quotation from the NASDAQ stock market, issued by a registered investment company, and excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share), or based on the issuer's net tangible assets or revenues.  In the last case, the issuer's net tangible assets must exceed $3,000,000 if in continuous operation for at least three years, $5,000,000 if in operation for less than three years, or the issuer's average revenues for each of the past three years must exceed $6,000,000.

---

Trading in shares of penny stock is subject to additional sales practice requirements for broker-dealers that sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.  Accredited investors, in general, include individuals with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 together with their spouse), and certain institutional investors.  For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of the security and must have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase.  Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock.  A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the security.  Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks.  These rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in our common stock, to the extent it is penny stock, and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares.

ITEM 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

We manufacture, market, and distribute internationally an energy drink under a license, now in dispute, with Playboy Enterprises, Inc., or Playboy, though our subsidiary, CirTran Beverage Corporation.  CirTran Beverage manufactures, markets, and distributes Playboy-branded energy drinks in accordance with an agreement we entered into with Play Beverages, LLC, or PlayBev, a consolidated variable interest entity, which holds the Playboy license.  Playboy asserts that the license is no longer valid and that PlayBev is no longer authorized to market the Playboy-branded energy drink, which is now being litigated.  See Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

During 2013, our activities continued to be significantly restrained by the necessity to devote priority to efforts to obtaining the forbearance of our principal secured and judgment creditors, seeking to resolve disputes respecting the PlayBev license to market Playboy-licensed energy drinks, defending the numerous lawsuits to which we are a party, and obtaining additional capital.  Disputes respecting the status of the PlayBev license to market Playboy-licensed energy drinks impaired our ability to establish new distributors, damaged our relationships with existing distributors, and depressed revenues, significantly.  On December 6, 2012, PlayBev's bankruptcy proceeding was dismissed, freeing PlayBev and, in turn, us to pursue our beverage distribution business without court supervision.  However, the validity of the license from Playboy under which we conduct these activities remains in dispute.  See Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

CirTran - Asia manufactures and distributes electronics, consumer products, and general merchandise to companies selling in international markets.  For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we recognized royalty revenue of approximately $90,288 and $77,000, respectively.

We had only nominal revenues of $0 and $1,432 from electronics assembly in 2013 and 2012.  Prior to 2012, we also conducted activities in the marketing and media operating segment, which may be reactivated.  See "Other Business Segments."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

Sales and Cost of Sales

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2013, totaled $3,469,006, as compared to $4,260,417 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The decrease is primarily attributable to our ability to manage the disruption we experienced in 2012 and into 2013 with the unexpected bankruptcy proceedings initiated against PlayBev, the continuing uncertainty created by Playboy in relation to the interference with our beverage distributors, and our defenses against numerous lawsuits.  Net sales in the contract manufacturing segment increased $11,529 in the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012.  Beverage distribution revenue decreased to $3,375,012 for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $4,177,624 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The decrease was driven by decreases in product sales and royalty revenues, as well as recognition of deferred revenue.  During the years ended December 31, 2013, and 2012, we recognized approximately $0 and $2,296,000, respectively, in revenue from prepayments under contracts that were in default and/or were terminated due to nonperformance.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, increased to 32% for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to 9% for the prior year ended December 31, 2012.  Consequently, the gross profit margin decreased to 67% from 77%, respectively, for the same period.  The decrease in gross profit margin is attributable to an increase in revenues from royalty agreements, which have an overall lower cost, a large portion of which is revenue from prepayments under contracts that were in default and/or were terminated due to nonperformance.  These revenues had no significant associated cost of sales.

The following chart presents comparisons of sales, cost of sales, royalty expense, and gross profit or loss margin generated by our four operating segments, i.e., beverage distribution, contract manufacturing, marketing and media, and electronics assembly during 2013 and 2012:

 

Segment	Year		Sales				Cost of Sales				Royalty Expense				Gross Loss / Margin
Beverage Distribution	2013			3,375,012				1,119,498				37,494				2,218,020
2012				4,177,354				375,757				614,721				3,186,876
Contract Manufacturing	2013			92,890				-				-				92,890
2012				81,631				-				-				81,631
Electronics Assembly	2013		$	1,104			$	-			$	-			$	1,104
2012				1,432				-				-				1,432

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

During the year ended December 31, 2013, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by 9% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2012.  The decrease of $321,214 in selling, general, and administrative expenses was driven primarily by a decrease in bad debt expense and varied other expenses related to promotional and development activities.

Noncash Compensation Expense

Noncash compensation expense, resulting from the obligation to grant options to employees and outside consultants to purchase common stock, increased to $41,872 during the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $39,080 during the year ended December 31, 2012.  No stock options were granted to employees during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.  The increase in noncash compensation expense relates to the vesting of previously granted options and the measurement of stock options required to be granted per their employment contracts.

Other Income and Expense

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013, was $662,120, as compared to $1,141,171 for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of 42%.  The interest expense recorded in the consolidated statements of operations combines both accretion expense and interest expense.  The decrease in interest expense was driven by a decrease in accrued royalty liabilities and other accrued liabilities on which balances interest is due.

We recorded a gain $741,760 due to the valuation of our derivative liability on the convertible debenture for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to a loss of $534,373 recorded for the year ending December 31, 2012.  The favorable swing in the derivative valuation is primarily the result of factors relating to the differing debt levels of the underlying convertible securities, together with the varying market values of our common stock.

We recorded a gain on the settlement of debt of $2,159,919 and $154,850 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.  This gain on settlement related to settlement and conversion of short-term advances payable for common stock and current maturities of long-term debt for current liabilities to noncontrolling interest holders.

As a result of these factors, our overall net income increased to $1,224,243 for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to a net loss of $1,787,643 for the year ended December 31, 2012, of which $368,335 and $1,539,619 was attributable to our noncontrolling equity interest in PlayBev, during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

---

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have had a history of losses from operations, as our expenses have been greater than our revenues.  Our accumulated deficit was $47,674,008 at December 31, 2013, and $48,529,916 at December 31, 2012.  Net income before noncontrolling interest for the year ended December 31, 2013, was $1,224,243, as compared to a loss of $1,787,643 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $22,934,058 and $26,458,490 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  For the year ended December 31, 2013, we experienced positive cash flows of $467,339, compared to positive cash flows of $231,565 for the prior year, from operating activities.

Cash

The amount of cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2013, increased by $235,774, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, driven primarily by the decreases of deferred revenues, and refundable customer deposits.

Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, decreased to $6,561 during the year ended December 31, 2013.  The allowance for doubtful accounts did not change during the year ended December 31, 2013.  We continue to monitor individual customer accounts and are working to improve collections on trade accounts receivable.

Accounts Payable, Accrued Liabilities, and Short-Term Debt

During the year ended December 31, 2013, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, advances payable, interest payable and short-term debt decreased by $1,325,097 to a combined balance of $17,999,070 as of December 31, 2013.  The decrease includes a decrease of $342,438 in accrued liabilities, a decrease of $294,794 in short-term advances, and a decrease of $511,473 in accounts payable.  The decrease in accounts payable activity is a result of continued PlayBev-related services performed during the year for beverage development, distribution, marketing, and legal services in 2012 that were reduced in 2013.  At December 31, 2013, we owed $2,794,151 to various investors from whom we had borrowed funds in the form of either unsecured or short-term advances.

Convertible Debentures

2011 YA Forbearance Agreement

As of December 31, 2010, we had outstanding convertible debentures issued during previous periods to YA Global with an aggregate outstanding balance of $3,161,355, including accrued interest of $856,546, that were then in default.  In January 2011, we and YA Global entered into a forbearance agreement and related agreements (the "2011 YA Forbearance Agreement").

In the 2011 YA Forbearance Agreement, we ratified our previous obligations under the debentures; provided the guaranty of our president, Iehab Hawatmeh, secured by one-half of his interest in PlayBev; provided a confession of judgment in litigation by YA Global against Katana, to whom we had transferred certain collateral pledged to YA Global, and issued a new warrant to purchase to purchase 25,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.02 per share, expiring December 2015.  Additionally, we agreed to pay the debentures, $225,000 at signing the 2011 YA Forbearance Agreement ($75,000 to be applied to transaction costs), $75,000 per month for February through April 2011, $200,000 per month for May through December 2011, and the balance on December 31, 2011 (the "Termination Date").

---

We had the right, subject to the consent of YA Global, to pay all or any portion of the payments listed above in common stock, with the conversion price to be used to determine the number of shares being equal to 85% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock during the 10 trading days prior to the payment date.  The amount applied as a payment on the note and accrued interest will be adjusted to the value of the actual proceeds from the sale of the stock.

YA Global agreed to forbear from enforcing its rights and remedies as a result of the existing defaults and/or converting the debentures into shares of our common stock, until the earlier of our default under the 2011 YA Agreement or the Termination Date.

The summaries of the terms and conditions of the 2011 YA Forbearance Agreement and the other agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, which are incorporated in this report.

Default and 2012 YA Forbearance Agreement

We made our required payments through March 1, 2011, as required under the 2011 YA Forbearance Agreement, but thereafter did not make additional payments.  Following such defaults, YA Global initiated steps to proceed to execute on, take possession of, and sell at auction all of our assets, which had been encumbered to secure our obligations under the debentures.  We negotiated extensions of such execution efforts while we also sought to negotiate another formal forbearance agreement with YA Global.

On March 22, 2012, we entered into a formal forbearance agreement with YA Global, dated as of March 1, 2012 (the "2012 YA Forbearance Agreement") in which we ratified our previous obligations under the debentures and agreed to pay the debentures, $25,000 at signing the 2012 YA Forbearance Agreement, $25,000 per month in March through June 2012, $50,000 per month in July through September 2012, $75,000 in the months of October and November 2012, $100,000 per month in the months of December 2012 through May 2013, $125,000 per month in the months of June through December 2013, and the balance in December 2014 (the "Termination Date"). In addition to the above minimum payments to YA Global, we are required to pay monthly excess cash flow, to the extent cumulatively available, consisting of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, less cash deposits for product orders received but not yet shipped, actual cash taxes paid, actual cash principal and interest paid, and reasonable out-of-pocket cash paid together with reasonable cash reserves in an amount not to exceed 5% of total net sales, provided that such excess cash flow payments shall not to exceed $50,000 in March 2012 and $25,00 per month in April 2012 and thereafter, until the balance is paid.

We continue to have the right, subject to the consent of YA Global, to pay all or any portion of the payments listed above in common stock, with the conversion price to be used to determine the number of shares being equal to the lowest closing bid price of our common stock during the 20 trading days prior to the payment date.  The amount applied as a payment on the note and accrued interest will be adjusted to the value of the actual proceeds from the sale of the stock.

YA Global agreed to forbear from enforcing its rights and remedies as a result of the existing defaults and/or converting the debentures into shares of our common stock, until the earlier of our default under the 2012 YA Forbearance Agreement or the Termination Date.

---

2013 Ratification Agreement

On February 22, 2013, we entered into a Ratification Agreement with YA Global.  Under this Ratification Agreement, we ratified the obligations under three existing Convertible Debentures dated May 26, 2005, December 30, 2005, and August 23, 2006, and agreed to amend, restate, and consolidate the obligations evidenced thereby into a Consolidated Debenture.

The Ratification Agreement also provides for a new payment schedule under the Consolidated Debenture that replaces the payment schedule that had been agreed to in a March 1, 2012, Forbearance Agreement among the parties.  Under the Ratification Agreement payment schedule, we are required to make monthly payments, to be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal, in the amount of $100,000 per month, commencing in April 2013.  The amount of our required monthly cash payment shall be reduced in an amount equal to the amount credited to the lender against the obligation as a result of the lender's exercise of the right to convert the outstanding balance due under the debentures into common stock, as provided in the original convertible debentures as well as in the Consolidated Debenture.  Any amount credited against the debenture obligation in excess of $100,000 per month shall be credited against the amounts due in the next succeeding month.

ABS Obligations

In connection with our prior litigation with ABS in its Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding in California, ABS obtained judgments in March and May 2011 against us aggregating approximately $1,850,000, plus interest, enjoined us from making certain distributions from our subsidiaries, and assigned such subsidiary distributions to ABS.  YA Global contested such injunction and assignment on the ground that such distributions had previously been encumbered to secure payment of the debentures due YA Global.  In March 2011, ABS sought to hold us in contempt of the bankruptcy court's order for making subsidiary distributions to us of over $150,000.  YA Global asserted its priority lien in all of such distributions and proceeded with steps to execute on all of our assets encumbered in favor of YA Global, as noted above.

In conjunction with negotiating the 2012 YA Forbearance Agreement with YA Global, we also resolved our disputes with ABS pursuant to a forbearance agreement (the "ABS Forbearance Agreement"). On March 22, 2012, we entered into a formal forbearance agreement with ABS, dated as of March 1, 2012 (the "ABS Forbearance Agreement"), whereby ABS agreed to take no further judgment enforcement actions in consideration of the payment of $25,000 upon execution of the definitive ABS Forbearance Agreement and satisfaction of applicable conditions precedent.  The ABS Forbearance Agreement calls for us to pay $7,500 per month for 46 consecutive months (except for a payment of $15,000 in December 2012), commencing in March 2012, with the unpaid balance, as finally determined as provided below, due and payable in January 2016.  No interest on the principal would accrue unless the note is in default, in which case, it would bear interest at 10% per annum from the date of the ABS Forbearance Agreement.  In addition, we stipulated to an additional judgment for attorney's fees incurred in negotiating the ABS Forbearance Agreement and entering into the related definitive agreements and in related post-judgment collection efforts.  The obligation to pay $1,835,000 under the ABS Forbearance Agreement would be secured by an encumbrance on all of our assets, subject to the prior lien and encumbrance in favor of YA Global.

The principal amount of $1,835,000 due under the ABS Forbearance Agreement would be reduced by the greater of the amount of credit granted in the bankruptcy proceedings for the value of the intellectual property we previously conveyed to ABS and the amount received by ABS from the sale of such intellectual property to a third party during the term of the ABS Forbearance Agreement, plus the amount of any distribution to which we are entitled as a creditor of ABS, provided, however, that in no event would the amount due under the ABS Forbearance Agreement be reduced below $90,000, which is the amount payable during the first 12 months under the ABS Forbearance Agreement.  ABS entered into a subordination agreement subordinating the obligation under the ABS Forbearance Agreement in favor of the obligations and first-priority security interest of YA Global.  We conveyed to ABS the trademarks and intellectual property previously conveyed by ABS to us.

 

---

Our appeal of the approximately $1.8 million judgment that had been remanded in the ABS bankruptcy proceedings to conclusively determine the amount of credit due us for the conveyance of the intellectual property has been dismissed.  All litigation and disputes between ABS and its affiliates, on the one hand, and us and our affiliates, on the other hand, has been dismissed, including the pending order to show cause regarding contempt against us, our subsidiaries, and Iehab Hawatmeh.

We have assigned to ABS our creditor claim against the estate of ABS, to the extent of the balance due under the ABS Forbearance Agreement.  Any distribution from the ABS estate in excess of the adjusted amounts due under the ABS Forbearance Agreement will be paid to us.

Liquidity and Financing Arrangements

We have a history of substantial losses from operations as well as using, rather than providing, cash in operations.  We had an accumulated deficit of $47,674,008, along with a total stockholders' deficit of $13,962,306, at December 31, 2013.  During 2013, cash provided by our operations of $467,339 increased compared to cash provided by operations of $231,565 in the prior year.  During 2013, financing activities used cash of $474,941, compared to cash used in financing activities of $397,462 in the prior year.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, our monthly operating costs and interest expense averaged approximately $399,000 per month.

As a result of the execution of the 2013 Ratification Agreement with YA Global and the ABS Forbearance Agreement, we have fixed payments due on these secured obligations in 2014 aggregating $100,000 per month, less the amount YA Global converts to common stock.  We are dependent on ongoing revenue from the distribution of Playboy-licensed energy drinks, and ongoing dispute respecting the status of the PlayBev license to market Playboy-licensed energy drinks makes it uncertain whether we will be able to continue those activities.  We cannot assure that our efforts to resolve those disputes will enable us to continue our energy drink distribution segment or that, if resolved, the terms would be favorable to us.  In any event, we will likely need to fund increased energy drink distribution activities from external sources, either directly or through PlayBev, and we cannot assure that we will be able to obtain such funding.  If we are able to facilitate obtaining new funding for PlayBev, such funding would likely not be available to us to meet our general company needs.

In conjunction with our efforts to improve our results of operations, we are also actively seeking infusions of capital from investors and sources to repay our existing convertible debentures and other secured indebtedness.  In our current financial condition, it is unlikely that we will be able to obtain additional debt financing.  Even if we did acquire additional debt, we would be required to devote additional cash flow to servicing the debt and securing the debt with assets.  Accordingly, we are looking to obtain equity financing to meet our anticipated capital needs.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such capital.  If we issue additional shares for debt and/or equity, this will dilute the value of our common stock and existing shareholders' positions.  We also have very little authorized but unissued capital available, and we will have to have the shareholders approve an increase in our authorized shares in order to obtain any new equity financing.

We cannot assure that we will be successful in obtaining more debt and/or equity financing in the future or that our results of operations will materially improve in either the short or the long term.  If we fail to obtain such financing and improve our results of operations, we will be unable to meet our obligations as they become due, which would raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when products are shipped.  Title passes to the customer or independent sales representative at the time of shipment.  Returns for defective items are repaired and sent back to the customer.  Historically, expenses associated with returns have not been significant and have been recognized as incurred.

Royalty income is included as part of sales.  We recognize royalty revenue as it is earned.  The customer distribution agreements generally specify minimum royalty fees due to us during the contract period.  We recognize royalty income on a straight-line basis over the term of the distribution agreement when based on management's analysis of sales history, the customer is not expected to meet the minimum required sales projections for the contract period.

Revenue on refundable customer deposits is applied to customer sales in accordance with the distribution agreement, unless the customer is in default with the terms of the distribution agreement and the deposit is forfeited.  We recognize revenue on refundable deposits in the event the customer defaults on the terms of the distribution contract.

Shipping and handling fees are included as part of net sales.  The related freight costs and supplies directly associated with shipping products to customers are included as a component of cost of goods sold.

We signed an Assignment and Exclusive Services Agreement with Global Marketing Alliance, LLC, or GMA, a related party, whereby revenues and all associated performance obligations under GMA's web-hosting and training contracts were assigned to us.  Accordingly, this revenue is recognized in our financial statements when it is collected, along with our CirTran Online revenue.

We have entered into a Manufacturing, Marketing and Distribution Agreement with PlayBev, a consolidated entity, whereby we are the vendor of record in providing initial development, promotional, marketing, and distribution services.  Amounts billed to PlayBev in connection with the development and marketing of its new energy drink have eliminated in consolidation.

Financial Instruments with Derivative Features - We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes.  However, we have financial instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting.  Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in our balance sheet.  We measure these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognize changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change.  We have estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives using the Multi-nomial Lattis model.  The fair value of the derivative instruments is measured each quarter, with the change recorded in earnings.

Registration Payment Arrangements - On January 1, 2007, we adopted ASC 815-40, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements.  Under ASC 815-40 and ASC 450-10, Accounting for Contingencies, a registration payment arrangement is an arrangement whereby: (a) we have agreed to file a registration statement for certain securities with the SEC and have the registration statement declared effective within a certain time period; (b) we will endeavor to keep a registration statement effective for a specified period; and (c) transfer of consideration is required if we fail to meet those requirements.  When we issue an instrument coupled with these registration payment requirements, we estimate the amount of consideration likely to be paid under the agreement, and offset such amount against the proceeds of the instrument issued.  The estimate is then reevaluated at the end of each reporting period and any changes recognized as a registration penalty in the results of operations.  As further described in Note [9] to the consolidated financial statements, we have instruments that contain registration payment arrangements.  The effect of implementing this has not had a material effect on the financial statements because we consider probability of payment under the terms of the agreements to be remote.

---

Stock-Based Compensation - Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of ASC 718-10, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, for our stock-based compensation plans.  Under ASC 718-10, all stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the option or award, and is recognized as an expense in earnings over the requisite service period, which is typically through the date the options vest.

We use the Black-Scholes model for calculating the fair value pro forma disclosures under ASC 718-10, and will continue to use this model, which is an acceptable valuation approach under ASC 718-10.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer (whom we refer to in this periodic report as our Certifying Officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Certifying Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2013, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act.  Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance as of December 31, 2013, because of certain deficiencies involving internal controls constituted material weaknesses, as discussed below.  The material weaknesses identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any other related financial disclosure, and management does not believe that the material weaknesses had any effect on the accuracy of our financial statements for the current reporting period.

---

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

A system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the system will meet its objectives.  The design of a control system is based, in part, upon the benefits of the control system relative to its costs.  Control systems can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.  In addition, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control of over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  We have assessed the effectiveness of those internal controls as of December 31, 2013, using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") Internal Control - Integrated Framework as a basis for our assessment.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  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.

A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects our ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.

Based on our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2013.

As of December 31, 2013, management identified the following material weaknesses:

·	Control Environment - We did not maintain an effective control environment for internal control over financial reporting.  Specifically, we concluded that we did not have appropriate controls in the following areas.

·	Segregation of Duties - As a result of limited resources and staff, we did not maintain proper segregation of incompatible duties.  The effect of the lack of segregation of duties potentially affects multiple processes and procedures.

---

·

Entity Level Controls - We failed to maintain certain entity-level controls as defined by the framework issued by COSO.  Specifically, our lack of staff does not allow us to effectively maintain a sufficient number of adequately trained personnel necessary to anticipate and identify risks critical to financial reporting.  There is a risk that a material misstatement of the financial statements could be caused, or at least not be detected in a timely manner, due to lack of adequate staff with such expertise.

·	Access to Cash - Our president has debit cards for most of our bank accounts and the ability to transfer from his personal bank account and our bank accounts.

These weaknesses are continuing.  Management and the board of directors are aware of these weaknesses that result because of limited resources and staff.  Management has begun the process of formally documenting our key processes as a starting point for improved internal control over financial reporting.  Efforts to fully implement the processes we have designed have been put on hold due to limited resources, but we anticipate a renewed focus on this effort in the near future.  Due to our limited financial and managerial resources, we cannot assure when we will be able to implement effective internal controls over financial reporting.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers, directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Officers, directors, and greater than 10% stockholders are also required by the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.

Based upon a review of these forms that were furnished to us, and based on representations made by certain persons who were subject to this obligation that such filings were not required to be made, we believe that all reports that were required to be filed by these individuals and persons under Section 16(a) were filed on time in fiscal year 2013.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors does not have separately designated audit, compensation, or nomination committees.  Our entire board acts in these capacities.  We do not have an audit committee financial expert as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS,

AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Transactions Involving Officers, Directors, and Stockholders

In 2007, we appointed Fadi Nora to our board of directors.  In addition to compensation we normally pay to nonemployee members of our board, Mr. Nora is entitled to a quarterly bonus equal to 0.5% of any gross sales earned by us directly through Mr. Nora's efforts.  As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we owed $70,184 and $60,321, respectively, under this arrangement.  Mr. Nora has loaned us various amounts through cash contributed and expenses paid on our behalf.  During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, Mr. Nora received cash payments totaling $129,000 and $239,500, respectively, from us to pay his personal credit card for expenses paid on our behalf.  As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we still owed Mr. Nora $703,229 and $1,040,829, respectively, in the form of unsecured advances, respectively.  These advances and short-term bridge loans were approved by our board of directors under a 5% borrowing fee.  The borrowing fees were waived by Mr. Nora on these loans.  In addition, we owed Mr. Nora $326,373 and $448,719, respectively, in accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, for selling, general, and administrative expenses that were paid for by Mr. Nora on a personal credit card.

We have agreed to issue 2,400,000 options each year to Mr. Nora as compensation for services provided as our director.  The terms of the director agreement requires us to grant to Mr. Nora options to purchase 2,400,000 shares of our stock each year, with the exercise price of the options being the market price of our common stock as of the grant date.  During the year ended December 31, 2013, we accrued for 2,400,000 stock options relating to the director agreement with Mr. Nora.  The fair market value of the options was $4,060 using the following assumptions: estimated five-year term, estimated volatility of 212.05, and a discount rate of 1.31%.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, we accrued for 2,400,000 stock options relating to the director agreement with Mr. Nora.  The fair market value of the options was $2,341, using the following assumptions: estimated five-year term, estimated volatility of 200.04, and a discount rate of 0.34%.

---

In 2007, we issued a 10% promissory note to a family member of our president in exchange for $300,000.  The note was due on demand after May 2008.  During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we accrued interest expense of $18,220 and $18,270, respectively.  At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the principal amount owing on the note was $151,833 and $151,833, respectively.  On March 31, 2008, we issued to this same family member, along with four other Company shareholders, promissory notes totaling $315,000.  The family member's note was for $105,000.  Under the terms of all the notes, we received total proceeds of $300,000 and agreed to repay the amount received plus a 5% borrowing fee.  The notes were due April 30, 2008, after which they were due on demand, with interest accruing between 10% and 12% per annum.  During 2013 and 2012, we made no payments towards the outstanding notes.  The principal balance owing on the promissory notes as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, totaled $41,415 and $41,415, respectively.  At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the accrued interest on the notes was $29,146 and $24,176, respectively.

On April 2, 2009, Iehab Hawatmeh, our president, and Fadi Nora, our director, borrowed from a third party a total of $890,000 in the form of four short-term promissory notes, which they personally guaranteed.  Since the loans were used to pay our obligations, we have assumed full responsibility for the notes.  Two of the notes were for a term of 60 days, with a 60-day grace period, a third note was for a term of 90 days, and a fourth note was for 24 days.  Loan fees totaling $103,418 were incurred with the issuance of the notes and are payable upon maturity of the notes.  During 2012, two of the notes with a combined balance of $411,912 were converted from short-term advances to a notes payable on CirTran's books, with the intent to convert the liability to membership interest in Play Beverages, LLC, a consolidated variable interest entity.  As of December 31, 2013 the notes have been restructured and signed directly with the Company without our president and director's personal guaranty.

We have agreed to issue 6,000,000 options each year to Iehab Hawatmeh, our president, as compensation for services provided as our officer.  The terms of his employment agreement require us to grant to him options to purchase 6,000,000 shares of our common stock each year, with the exercise price to equal the market price of our common stock as of the grant date.  During the year ended December 31, 2013, we accrued for 6,000,000 stock options relating to this employee agreement.  The fair market value of the options was $10,151, using the following assumptions: estimated five-year term, estimated volatility of 212.05, and a discount rate of 1.31%.  During the years ended December 31, 2012, we accrued for 6,000,000 stock options relating to this employee agreement.  The fair market value of the options was $5,852, using the following assumptions: estimated five-year term, estimated volatility of 200.04, and a discount rate of 0.34%.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we owed Iehab Hawatmeh, our president, a total of $122,166 and $115,558, respectively, in unsecured advances and 30,000,000 and 30,000,000 stock options with an aggregated value at time of grant of $164,698 and $154,547, respectively.  The advances and short-term bridge loans were approved by our board of directors under a 5% borrowing fee, which was waived by Mr. Hawatmeh on these loans.

On January 24, 2011, we entered into a forbearance agreement with YA Global, including a confession of judgment in its favor.  In connection with that forbearance agreement, Iehab Hawatmeh, our president, agreed to guarantee such indebtedness on the occurrence of any triggering event, namely breach by Mr. Hawatmeh of his guaranty or the occurrence, while Mr. Hawatmeh is president, of fraud, intentional misrepresentation, or willful misconduct in any loan document or SEC filing, filing a voluntary receivership, the sale of our assets other than in the ordinary course of business, the payment of unbudgeted expenses, unauthorized payments to affiliates, and certain other matters.  Such guarantee was secured by a pledge of one-half of his equity interest in Play Beverages, LLC.  Mr. Hawatmeh continued his guaranty in connection with the March 22, 2012, forbearance agreement with YA Global, dated as of March 1, 2012, in which we ratified our previous obligations under the debentures and agreed to pay the debentures under a payment plan.  In addition to the above minimum payments to YA Global, we were required to pay monthly excess cash flow, to the extent cumulatively available, consisting of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, less cash deposits for product orders received but not yet shipped, actual cash taxes paid, actual cash principal and interest paid, and reasonable out-of-pocket cash paid together with reasonable cash reserves in an amount not to exceed 5% of total net sales, provided that such excess cash flow payments did not exceed $50,000 in March 2012 and $25,000 per month in April through September 2012.

---

On February 22, 2013, we entered into a Ratification Agreement with YA Global.  Under this Ratification Agreement, we ratified the obligations under three existing Convertible Debentures dated May 26, 2005, December 30, 2005, and August 23, 2006, and agreed to amend, restate, and consolidate the obligations evidenced thereby into a Consolidated Debenture.

The Ratification Agreement also provides for a new payment schedule under the Consolidated Debenture that replaces the payment schedule that had been agreed to in a March 1, 2012, Forbearance Agreement among the parties.  Under the Ratification Agreement payment schedule, we are required to make monthly payments, to be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal, in the amount of $100,000 per month, commencing in April 2013.  The amount of our required monthly cash payment shall be reduced in an amount equal to the amount credited to the lender against the obligation as a result of the lender's exercise of the right to convert the outstanding balance due under the debentures into common stock, as provided in the original convertible debentures as well as in the Consolidated Debenture.  Any amount credited against the debenture obligation in excess of $100,000 per month shall be credited against the amounts due in the next succeeding month.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Audit Fees for Fiscal Years 2013 and 2012

The aggregate fees billed to us by Sadler Gibb & Associates, LLC, our independent registered public accounting firm and auditor for the fiscal year 2013, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, are as follows:

_______________

(1)

Audit fees consist of the audit of our annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our 2012 fiscal year and review of 2013 financial statements and services that are normally provided by the independent auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years.

(2)	Tax fees consist of fees for tax consultation and tax compliance services.

Policy on Preapproval of Audit and Permissible Nonaudit Services

Our board preapproves any engagement of Sadler Gibb and Associates, LLC, and has the ultimate authority and responsibility to select, evaluate, and when appropriate, replace our independent registered public accountants and nominate an independent registered public accounting firm for stockholder approval.  While ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm by the stockholders is not required and is not binding upon our board, in the event of a negative vote on such ratification, our board might choose to reconsider its selection.

Prior to the performance of any services, our board approves all audit and nonaudit services to be provided by our independent registered public accountant and the fees to be paid therefor.  Although the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 permits the audit committee of the board to preapprove some types or categories of services to be provided by the independent registered public accountants, because we do not currently have an audit committee, it is the current practice of our board to specifically approve all services provided by the independent registered public accountants in advance, rather than to preapprove any type of service.  Our board of directors, acting in the absence of a designated audit committee, has considered whether the provision of nonaudit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of Sadler Gibb and Associates, LLC, and has concluded that the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the independence of our auditors.

To the Board of Directors

CirTran Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CirTran Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.   

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CirTran Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had accumulated losses of $47,674,008 as of December 31, 2013 which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

General - CirTran Corporation manufactures, markets, and distributes internationally an energy drink under a license, now in dispute, with Playboy Enterprises, Inc., or Playboy, and in the U.S., it provides a mix of high- and medium-volume turnkey manufacturing services and products using various high-tech applications for leading electronics OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) in the communications, networking, peripherals, gaming, law enforcement, consumer products, telecommunications, automotive, medical, and semiconductor industries.  CirTran's services include pre-manufacturing, manufacturing, and post-manufacturing services.  CirTran's goal is to offer customers the significant competitive advantages that can be obtained from manufacture outsourcing.

Basis of Presentation - CirTran Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "CirTran") consolidates all of its majority-owned subsidiaries, companies over which the Company exercises control through majority voting rights and companies in which it has a variable interest and the Company is the primary beneficiary.  The Company accounts for its investments in common stock of other companies that the Company does not control but over which the Company can exert significant influence using the cost method.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CirTran Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries: CirTran Beverage Corp., CirTran Products Corp., CirTran Online Corp., CirTran Media Corp., CirTran Corporation (Utah), CirTran - Asia, Inc., and Racore Network, Inc.

The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of After Bev Group LLC ("AfterBev"), a majority controlled entity, and Play Beverages LLC ("PlayBev"), a consolidated variable interest entity. PlayBev holds a license agreement to manufacture and distribute energy drinks and water under the Playboy name. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates - In preparing the Company's financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when products are shipped, title passes to the customer or independent sales representative at the time of shipment, the price is fixed and determinable and collectability of revenue is reasonably assured.  Returns for defective items are either repaired and sent back to the customer or returned for credit or replacement product.  Historically, expenses associated with returns have not been significant and have been recognized as incurred.

Royalty income is included as part of sales.  The Company recognizes royalty revenue as it is earned.  The customer distribution agreements generally specify minimum royalty fees due to the Company during the contract period.  The Company recognizes royalty income on a straight-line basis over the term of the distribution agreement when, based on management's analysis of sales history, the customer is not expected to meet the minimum required sales projections for the contract period.  Deferred revenue on royalty income for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, was $2,592,170 and $3,184,320, respectively.

---

Revenue on refundable customer deposits is applied to customer sales in accordance with the distribution agreement, unless the customer is in default with the terms of the distribution agreement and the deposit is forfeited.  The Company recognizes revenue on refundable deposits in the event the customer defaults on the terms of the distribution contract.  The balance of refundable customer deposits for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, was included in the amount of deferred revenue.

Shipping and handling fees are included as part of net sales.  The related freight costs and supplies directly associated with shipping products to customers are included as a component of cost of goods sold.

The Company signed an Assignment and Exclusive Services Agreement with Global Marketing Alliance, LLC ("GMA"), a related party, whereby revenues and all associated performance obligations under GMA's web hosting and training contracts were assigned to the Company. Accordingly, this revenue is recognized in the Company's financial statements when it is collected, along with the revenue of CirTran Online Corporation (see also Note 10).

The Company through, its consolidated subsidiary PlayBev, has a product license agreement with Playboy to manufacture, market and distribute energy drinks and water.  The yearly costs of the license agreement were recorded as a prepaid asset during 2010 and were amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the term.  During 2011, the cost of the license agreement has been recorded as incurred.  The Company entered into a Manufacturing, Marketing and Distribution Agreement with PlayBev whereby the Company is the vendor of record in providing initial development, promotional, marketing, and distribution services.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid, short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Deposits are made to the Company in connection with distribution agreements. The deposits are either refundable or applied to invoices based on either annual minimum sales requirements and/or actual sales shipments, as detailed in the individual distribution agreement.

Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable are carried at the original invoice amount, less an estimate made for doubtful accounts based on a review of outstanding amounts.  Specific reserves are estimated by management based on certain assumptions and variables, including the customer's financial condition, age of the customer's receivable, and changes in payment histories.  Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible.  Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.  Bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, was $0.

Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market value.  Cost on manufactured inventories includes labor, material, and overhead.  Overhead cost is based on indirect costs allocated to cost of sales, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods inventory.  Indirect overhead costs have been charged to cost of sales or capitalized as inventory, based on management's estimate of the benefit of indirect manufacturing costs to the manufacturing process.

When there is evidence that the inventory's value is less than original cost, the inventory is reduced to market value.  The Company determines market value on current resale amounts and whether technological obsolescence exists.  The Company has agreements with most of its manufacturing customers that require the customers to purchase inventory items related to their contracts in the event that the contracts are cancelled.

Pre-production Design and Development Costs - The Company incurs certain costs associated with the design and development of molds and dies for its contract-manufacturing segment.  These costs are held as deposits on the balance sheet until the molds or dies are finished and ready for use.  At that point, the costs are included as part of production equipment in property and equipment and are amortized over their useful lives.  The Company holds title to all molds and dies used in the manufacture of its various products.  The Company held $0 in deposits at December 31, 2013 and 2012.  The capitalized cost, net of accumulated depreciation, associated with molds and dies included in property and equipment at December 31, 2013 and 2012, was $39,858 and $36,847, respectively.

Investment in Securities - The cost of the Company's cost-method investment consist of an investment in a private digital multi-media technology company that totaled $300,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012.  As the Company owned less than 20% of that company's stock as of December 31, 2013, and no significant influence or control exists, the investment is accounted for using the cost method.  The Company evaluated the investment for impairment.  No impairment was noted as of December 31, 2013.

Property and Equipment - Depreciation expense is recognized in amounts equal to the cost of depreciable assets over estimated service lives.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or the service life of the improvements.  The straight-line method of depreciation and amortization is followed for financial reporting purposes.  Maintenance, repairs, and renewals, which neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred.  Gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in operating results.

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, was $46,178, and $86,446, respectively.

Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, was $0.

Patents - Legal fees and other direct costs incurred in obtaining patents in the United States and other countries are capitalized.  Patent costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the patent.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets -The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including intangibles, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.  At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment.  The Company uses an estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows from the related asset or group of assets over their remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable.  The Company recorded an expense for impairment of long-lived assets of $0, during the years ended December 31, 2013, and 2012.

Financial Instruments with Derivative Features - The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes.  However, the Company has financial instruments that are considered derivatives, or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting.  Embedded derivatives are valued separate from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in the Company's balance sheet.  The Company measures these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change.  The Company has estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives using a Multi-nomial Lattis model.  The fair values of the derivative instruments are measured each quarter.  The Company recorded a gain of $741,760 on derivative valuation for the year ended December 31, 2013, and a loss of $534,373 for the year ended December 31, 2012.

---

Advertising Costs - The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.  Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, were $0 and $650, respectively, and are included as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Stock-Based Compensation - The Company has outstanding stock options to directors and employees, which are described more fully in Note 21.  The Company accounts for its stock options in accordance with ASC 718-10, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which requires the recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchanged for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements and is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award.  ASC 718-10 also requires the stock option compensation expense to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (typically the vesting period).

Stock-based employee compensation incurred for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, was $29,41930,872 and $19,891, respectively.

Income Taxes - The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets, liabilities, the carry forward of operating losses and tax credits, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized.  Research tax credits are recognized as used.

Concentrations of Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable.  The Company sells principally to recurring customers, wherein the customer's ability to pay has previously been evaluated.  The Company generally does not require collateral.  Allowances are maintained for potential credit losses, which generally have been within management's expectations.  At December 31, 2013 and 2012, this allowance was $832,093.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, sales to four customers of the beverage distribution segment accounted for 36%, 19%, 19%, and 11% of net sales.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, sales to one customer of the beverage distribution segment accounted for 11% of net sales.

During 2006, PlayBev entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Playboy, whereby PlayBev agreed to internationally market and distribute a new energy drink carrying the Playboy name and "Rabbit Head" logo symbol.  In May 2007, PlayBev entered into an exclusive agreement with the Company to arrange for the manufacture, marketing and distribution of the energy drinks, other Playboy-licensed beverages, and related merchandise through various distribution channels throughout the world.  The exclusive arrangement with Playboy creates a concentration of supply risk.  The Company will not be able to market its products under the Playboy brand without the licensing agreement and would be at risk to lose significant marketability of its products.  In March 2012, Playboy and PlayBev extended the licensing agreement through July 31, 2012, to allow PlayBev and Playboy to negotiate a potential new licensing agreement. The Company's ability to continue energy drink distribution, its principal source of revenue, is subject to interruption or termination because of PlayBev's ongoing disputes respecting the status of the PlayBev license to market Playboy-licensed energy drinks (see Note 3).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for cash, accounts receivable, notes payable and accounts payable approximate fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments.  The carrying amounts of the Company's debt obligations approximate fair value.

---

Loss Contingencies – The Company is subject to various legal and administrative proceedings, asserted and potential claims, and potential asset impairments (loss contingencies) that arise in the ordinary course of business.  An estimated loss from such contingencies is recognized as a charge to income if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.  Disclosure of a loss contingency is required if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss has been incurred.  The outcomes of legal and administrative proceedings and claims, and the estimation asset impairments, are subject to significant uncertainty.  Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether a loss is reasonably estimable.  At least quarterly, the Company reviews the status of each significant matter, and the Company may revise its estimates.  These revisions could have a material impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position.

Short-term Advances – The Company has short-term advances with various individuals.  These advances are due upon demand, carry no interest and are not collateralized.  These advances are classified as short-term liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.  Management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements upon adoption, therefore they have not been discussed here.

NOTE 3 – REALIZATION OF ASSETS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  However, the Company sustained income and losses of $1,224,243 and $1,787,643 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $47,674,008 and $48,529,916, respectively.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, operations provided cash of $231,565. During the year ended December 31, 2013, operations provided cash of $467,339.These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's ability to continue energy drink distribution, its principal source of revenue, is subject to interruption or termination because of PlayBev's ongoing disputes respecting the status of the PlayBev license to market Playboy-licensed energy drinks.  The Company is continuing its suit against Playboy in Illinois in an effort to enjoin Playboy's termination of the license so the Company will be able to continue its beverage distribution segment.  If the Playboy licensing dispute is not resolved satisfactorily through a negotiated settlement or litigation in such proceeding, PlayBev would be required to terminate its beverage distribution activities, which are currently the source of the Company's principal revenues.  Such termination may require the Company to cease its activities and seek protection from creditors.

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraphs, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, to maintain or replace present financing, to acquire additional capital from investors, and to succeed in its future operations.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

The Company feels that its beverage business has the potential to have a substantial impact on its business.  The Company plans to focus on the beverage business and the contract manufacturing business.  For the beverage business, the Company plans to sell existing products and develop new products under the license agreement with Playboy to a globally expanding market.  With regard to contract manufacturing, the Company goal is to provide customers with manufacturing solutions for both new and more mature products, as well as across product generations.

The Company provides product marketing services to the direct response and retail markets for both proprietary and nonproprietary products.  This segment provides campaign management and marketing services for the direct response, retail and beverage distribution markets.  The Company intends to continue to provide marketing and media services to support its own product efforts, and offer to customers marketing service in channels involving television, radio, print media, and the Internet.

With respect to electronics assembly and manufacturing, the Company intends to serve these industries, although it anticipates that its focus will shift more to providing services on a subcontract basis.

NOTE 4 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

Consolidation of PlayBev - During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company, through AfterBev a 51% voting and 4% economic interest consolidated subsidiary, purchased a 50% ownership in PlayBev for $750,000.  As condition of the purchase, AfterBev was to develop an acceptable operating plan for PlayBev, procure a credit facility with a third party at prevailing market rates sufficient to fund PlayBev's working capital needs, and provide a third-party vendor to develop, manufacture, and distribute the energy drink product.  Upon satisfactory completion of these events, AfterBev was granted an additional 1% ownership interest in PlayBev bringing its total investment to 51%. During the year ended December 31, 2013 PlayBev admitted another member at 25% ownership the effect of which reduced AfterBev's total investment to 41%. Certain participating rights held by the minority interest holders of PlayBev prevented it being consolidated with the Company under the majority ownership accounting guidance.  The Company was selected to develop, manufacture, and distribute the energy drinks as well as provide the credit facility to support the working capital needs of PlayBev.

---

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the new provisions under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), ASC 810-10, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" which caused it to reevaluate its involvement with PlayBev.  The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of PlayBev and that the assets, liabilities and operations of PlayBev should be consolidated into its financial statements beginning January 1, 2010.  This assessment was made based on the following factors:

·	The nature of the credit facility has changed dramatically since it was established.

·

The credit facility originally was to be used to develop and market the energy drinks.  Even though the product has been developed, significant costs are continually being added.  PlayBev still has no operations of its own and the Company is providing all or a majority of the operating activity of PlayBev.  These costs are being pushed through the credit facility.

·	The Company has continually made the royalty payment owed to Playboy on behalf of PlayBev.

·	The credit facility was originally limited to a $2.0 million balance and the intent was for it to be a revolving line of credit.  Currently the balance owed under the credit facility is $5,517,650.

·	PlayBev has not established that it can generate cash to pay for its own operations.  Instead royalty payments owed to PlayBev by the Company are offset by the large amount owed to CirTran under the credit facility.

·	Included in the accompanying financial statements are the following assets and liabilities of PlayBev as of December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012:

NOTE 5 – INVENTORY

Inventory consists of the following:

During 2013 and 2012, write-downs of $1,358 and $14,609, respectively, were recorded to reduce items considered obsolete or slow moving to their market value.
