TABLE OF CONTENTS

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the “Amendment”) amends our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (“2017 Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 9, 2018. We are filing this Amendment to amend Part III of the 2017 Form 10-K to include the information required by and not included in Part III of the 2017 Form 10-K because we do not intend to file our definitive proxy statement within 120 days of the end of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. In connection with the filing of this Amendment and pursuant to the rules of the SEC, we are including with this Amendment new certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Accordingly, Item 15 of Part IV has also been amended to reflect the filing of these new certifications.

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the 2017 Form 10-K. The 2017 Form 10-K continues to speak as of the date of the 2017 Form 10-K, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the 2017 Form 10-K other than as expressly indicated in this Amendment.

Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Timefire,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to TimefireVR Inc.

PART III

Item 10.  Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.

The following is a list of our directors and executive officers. 

Directors

Executive Officers

Executive Officer and Director Biographies

Jonathan Read - Mr. Read, age 60, has been the Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, and Treasurer of the Company since October 20, 2017 and a director of the Company since August 18, 2017. Mr. Read was appointed as a director for his prior experience with the Company and another public company. Since July 14, 2017, Mr. Read has served as a director of BTCS Inc. From November 1, 2015 to January 31, 2017, Mr. Read was Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company. Since 2013 Mr. Read has been Managing Partner of Quadratam1 LLC, a Scottsdale, Arizona based firm specializing in providing financial and organizational consulting services for growth-stage companies in the United States and China. From 2005 through 2012, Mr. Read was the Chief Executive Officer and a director of ECOtality, Inc., a San Francisco based Company he founded. In 2013, ECOtality, Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. In 2014, Mr. Read filed for bankruptcy personally.

Jessica Smith - Ms. Smith has been the Company’s Chief Financial Officer since September 2016. Ms. Smith is a certified public accountant in the State of Arizona. Ms. Smith has served as the Chief Financial Officer of Item 9 Labs Corp., formerly Airware Labs Corp. (OTCQB: INLB), since December 2012 and as its Secretary and Treasurer since January 2013. Since 2008, she has provided companies with part-time accounting and financial consulting services through her company, JS Accounting & Tax, PLLC.

Gary Smith - Mr. Smith, age 65, has been a director of the Company since July 2017. Mr. Smith was appointed as a director by one of the Company’s investors which had rights to designate a director. Mr. Smith has served as Chief Executive Officer and director of NIT Enterprises, Inc. since July 2014. From June 2013 to July 2015 he also served as Chief Executive Officer and director of Radiant Creations Group, Inc. 

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among our directors and executive officers.

Director Independence

Mr. Read is not independent in accordance with rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) due to his employment as an executive officer of the Company. The Company has determined that Mr. Smith is independent in accordance with the NYSE rules for director independence.

Board committees and charters

The Company does not have a separately-designated standing audit committee, compensation committee, or nominating committee. The Company currently lacks sufficient independent directors to maintain committees consistent with proper corporate governance standards. The Board has not determined that the Company has an audit committee financial expert serving on the Board. The Company intends to identify and appoint a financial expert if needed in the future.

Number of meetings of the board for fiscal year 2017

For 2017, the Board had four meetings and acted by unanimous written consent on 10 occasions. There were no directors who attended fewer than 75 percent of the total meetings or committee meetings of the Board for 2017.

Board diversity

While we do not have a formal policy on diversity, the Board considers diversity to include the skill set, background, reputation, type and length of business experience of the Board members as well as a particular nominee’s contributions to that mix. The Board believes that diversity brings a variety of ideas, judgments and considerations that benefit the Company and its shareholders. Although there are many other factors, the Board seeks individuals with experience on operating and growing businesses.

Board leadership structure

We have chosen to combine the Chief Executive Officer and Board Chairman positions. We believe that this Board leadership structure is the most appropriate for the Company. Because we are a small company, it is more efficient to have the leadership of the Board in the same hands as the Chief Executive Officer. The challenges faced by us at this stage – implementing the Company’s business and marketing plan and accelerating the Company’s growth – are most efficiently dealt with by one person who is familiar with both the operational aspects as well as the strategic aspects of the Company’s business.

Board responsibilities

The Board oversees, counsels, and directs management in regard to the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board’s responsibilities include establishing broad corporate policies and reviewing the overall performance of the Company. The Board is not involved in the operating details on a day-to-day basis. 

Board risk oversight

The Company’s risk management function is overseen by the Board. The Company’s management keeps the Board apprised of material risks and provides its independent director access to all information necessary for them to understand and evaluate how these risks interrelate, how they affect us, and how management addresses those risks. Jonathan Read works closely together with the other member of the Board once material risks are identified on how to best address such risks. If the identified risk poses an actual or potential conflict with management, the Company’s independent director may conduct the assessment. Presently, the primary risk affecting us is the Company’s liquidity, the difficulty in consummating acquisitions due to the low stock price resulting from continual sales by one investor, and the Company’s ability to generate revenue.

Code of Ethics

The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to all of the Company’s employees, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Although not required, the Code of Ethics also applies to the Company’s directors. The Code of Ethics provides written standards that we believe are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure and compliance with laws, rules and regulations and the prompt reporting of illegal or unethical behavior. The Company will provide a copy, without charge, to anyone that requests one in writing to TimefireVR Inc., dba/ Teraforge, 7150 E. Camelback Rd., Suite 444, Scottsdale AZ  85251.

Section 16(a) beneficial ownership reporting compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the Company’s common stock to file initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership of the Company’s common stock and other equity securities with the SEC. These individuals are required by the regulations of the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of the forms filed, we believe that the following current and former officers, directors and 10% beneficial owners failed to comply with Section 16(a) as of the end of fiscal year 2017 for the following occurrences: Gary Smith (1 transaction), Jonathan Read (1 transaction), Jessica Smith (1 transaction), Jeffrey Rassas (1 transaction), Lou Werner III (2 transactions).

Communication with the Company’s Board

Although the Company does not have a formal policy regarding communications with the Board, shareholders may communicate with the Board by writing to us at TimefireVR Inc., Dba/ Teraforge, 7150 E. Camelback Rd., Suite 444, Scottsdale AZ  85251, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Shareholders who would like their submission directed to a member of the Board may so specify, and the communication will be forwarded, as appropriate.
