PART I
Item 1. Business
General
5BARz International Inc. (5BARz or the Company) designs, manufactures and sells a line of cellular network infrastructure
devices for use in the office, home and mobile market places. The Companies products incorporate multiple patented
technologies to create a highly engineered, single-piece, plug n play device that strengthens weak cellular signals to deliver high
quality signals for voice, data and video reception on cell phones and other cellular equipped devices. The
5BARz solution represents a very significant improvement for cellular network carriers in providing a clear, reliable, high
quality signal for their subscribers with a growing need for high quality connectivity. The Company has developed both a fixed
unit, called a cellular network extender, to be used in your home or office, and a mobile device designed for use in your
automobile, RV, water craft etc. The Companys products are engineered to incorporate a great number of features more fully
addressed herein. Our products are designed to significantly improve the operation of cellular networks in the vicinity of the user,
reducing the frustration experienced by cellular users globally.
The Company is in the process of developing the global commercialization of the cellular network extenders through cellular
network operators, with each sector of integration to be managed in geographic areas. The initial business focus is currently in
India, with formative steps taken in Latin America, the U.S. and Western European market sectors.
We were incorporated in Nevada on November 17, 2008 and the Company has offices in the States of Washington, California
and Florida. The address of the Companys Innovation Center in San Diego is 9444 Waples Street, Suite 140, San Diego,
California, 92121, and our centralized telephone number is 877-723-7255. Our web site is www.5BARz.com. Through a link on
the Investor Relations section of our website, we make available the following filings as soon as reasonably possible after they
are electronically filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): our Annual Report on Form 10K, Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports filed pursuant to Section 13 (a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act. All such filings are available free of charge. The information posted on our web site is not necessarily
incorporated into this report.
The Company is uniquely positioned to take advantage of recent market transitions. As more and more users are migrating to the
use of cellular equipped devices for communication, internet access, navigation and even entertainment, consumer demand for
clear and consistent cellular signal has never been more important. In our opinion, this evolution driven by mobile device
proliferation is in early stages. 5BARz is uniquely positioned to meet this growing demand with their developing line of product.
The Company has recently unveiled a highly evolved innovative, carrier grade device, incorporating technologies and a
combination of functionality which represents the most advanced product developed in this market, to date. This next generation
cellular network extender, branded as 5BARz incorporates patented technology to create a highly engineered, single-piece,
plug n play unit that stabilizes and strengthens weak cellular signals to deliver higher quality signal for voice, data and video
reception on cell phones, and other cellular equipped devices.

The 5BARz Cellular Network Extender was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, March 2014. Since that
time the product has undergone significant product field testing in international locations and improvements during the year,
resulting in a product which management considers to be ready for deployment.
This product supports 2G & 3G technologies for cellular devices, and has been designed in configurations which operate on
either a single frequency or multiple frequencies. The technology has successfully integrated both send and receive antennae into
the single device, and hosts an abundance of features which have never before been integrated into a single portable cellular
device.
The Companys initial product, the Road Warrior, won the prestigious 2010 innovation of the year award at CES (the largest
consumer electronics show in the world) for achievements in product design and engineering. The Road Warrior, has passed
FCC Certification, and has been produced in limited quantities to date by a contract manufacturer in the Philippines. Production
of that product has been limited to a volume of 16,000 units, subject to the terms of a single purchase order and deployment
strategy. 5BARz current technological developments have eclipsed the original Road Warriors produced.
Management at 5BARz are confident that this new cellular device will alleviate much of the frustration experienced by users
globally associated with weak or compromised cellular signal. This technology facilitates cellular usage in areas where
structures, create cellular shadows or weak spots within metropolitan areas, and highly congested areas such as freeways, and
also serves to amplify cellular signal as users move away from cellular towers in urban areas. The market potential of the
technology is far reaching.
The market opportunity for the 5BARz technology represents some 6.8 billion cell phone subscribers worldwide serviced by
900 cellular network operators. These cellular network operators represent the Companys primary point of entry to the Global
marketplace.
The 5BARz business opportunity to bring this state of the art technology to market represents a significant step forward in the
deployment of micro-cell technology in the industry.
5BARz was incorporated on November 17, 2008, is a Nevada Corporation and was a designated shell Company until 2010. In
2010 the Company acquired the Master Global Marketing and Distribution Rights for the marketing and distribution of
5BARz products throughout the world from CelLynx Inc., a California based Company. In addition to the acquisition of the
marketing and distribution rights, the Company acquired a 60% interest in the underlying intellectual property comprising the
5BARz products, and holds a security interest over the balance of those assets.
On March 27, 2012, 5BARz acquired a 60% controlling interest in CelLynx Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary CelLynx
Inc. Cellynx was the original developer of the core technology underlying the 5BARz business.
On November 10, 2011, the Company incorporated a subsidiary Company in Zurich Switzerland called 5BARz AG. 5BARz AG
had been granted the exclusive rights by way of a sub-license for the Sales and Marketing of the 5BARz products in the
region, commonly referred to as the DACH in Europe, comprised of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In November 2014,
the Company was advised that an investment banking firm (BDC Investment AG, BDC) involved in the financing of 5BARz
AG in Zurich Switzerland, was placed into liquidation by Swiss Authorities and that certain other Companies funded by BDC
including 5BARz AG were also ordered to liquidate. At the date of liquidation, May 18, 2015, the Company held a 94.3% equity
interest in 5BARz AG. The license agreement provided for the termination of the license agreement in the event of liquidation.
The Company reflected a loss of $155,251 as a result of the liquidation of 5BARz AG for the year ended December 31, 2015.

On January 12, 2015, 5BARz International, Inc. incorporated another subsidiary Company, 5BARz International, SA DE CV in
Mexico. The Company is a 99% owned subsidiary of 5BARz International, Inc. with the remaining 1% owned by Daniel Bland,
the CEO of 5BARz International, Inc. The Company has obtained the necessary product approvals for the sale of the 5BARz
Road Warrior product in Mexico, and has imported a limited inventory of product for resale in the Country.
On January 12, 2015, 5BARz India Private Limited was incorporated in India, a 99.9% subsidiary of 5BARz International, Inc.
The Company has delivered prototype products into India in December 2014, and that product is experiencing very positive test
results. During the year ended December 31, 2015, 5BARz India Private Ltd. has worked with Tier 1 cellular network operators
in the region, in presenting prototype product and calibrating the product for maximization of effectiveness in the region. As a
result the Company has received purchase orders from two, tier one, cellular network operators in the region. The purchase
orders are comprised of orders from 50 to 100 units each shipped into different areas in India. The aggregate sales
under open purchase orders is $27,000 USD. The Company expects to expand this program in the upcoming year.
At December 31, 2015 the Company had five (5) full time employees and twenty-eight (28) consultants working with the
Company globally.

The market opportunity for the 5BARz technology represents 7.3 billion cell phone connections worldwide and is
growing as a result of the following factors;
Dead zones, weak signals, and dropped calls are the biggest problems in the industry. Now, by adding internet and video,
the quality issue is increasing exponentially.
76% of cellular subscribers use their mobile phone as the primary phone
More consumers are using mobile phones for web browsing, up and down- loading photos, videos and music
More mobile phones are operating at higher frequencies which have less ability to penetrate buildings
Weak signals make internet applications inaccessible and slow and increase the drain on cell phone batteries.
Forty percent of all mobile phone users report inadequate service in their homes or office and we estimate that 60% of the
7.3 billion mobile phone users worldwide consider continuous connectivity to be very important.
Consumer demand for quality in the cell phone user experience is becoming an increasingly important factor. The
5BARz technology meets this need. 5BARz is currently developing relationships with Cellular network operators
internationally to integrate the 5BARz product into cellular networks globally.

Congestion
In 1999, sales of mobile phones surpassed combined sales of personal computers and automobiles. By 2010, mobile phones had
replaced land-line phones in 30% of U.S. households. Smart phones, led by iPhones and Android phones, have become
indispensible personal assistants. Laptop computer sales outnumber desktop computer sales, and most laptops are equipped with
cellular data chipsets or USB modems. Apple's iPad has sparked the connected tablet market too. Vending machines,
automobiles, mobile sensors, and many other devices include "machine to machine" cellular data modules. As a result, the
number of cellular voice and data devices will soon exceed the number of people on Earth.
If sheer numbers weren't enough, new uses for mobile devices are causing even faster growth in bandwidth usage. Obvious uses
include video entertainment, videoconferencing, downloaded and streaming music, MMS, email, and application downloads.
Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and many other social networking applications put further load on operator networks. Also,
surprising sources of traffic have emerged, such as deliberate "miscalls". A miscall is when one subscriber calls another, but
hangs up before the receiving party answers. Since operators don't charge for these uncompleted calls, subscribers are using
miscalls as a free way to communicate. In India, orders for milk are made this way. In Syria, five miscalls in a row signals the
recipient to "go online" to the Internet and chat. In Bangladesh, it's estimated that up to 70% of traffic at peak times is due to
miscalls. This practice isn't limited to countries with low per-capita income, and yet it places a high load on operator networks.
There are sources of congestion based on location and time, too. Transportation clusters like airports, major highway
intersections, bridges, and toll road gates all bring many people together at peak times. Also, because of home land-line
replacement, many residential neighborhoods have many mobile phones in simultaneous use in mornings and evenings. Lastly,
local population growth and immigration can result in too many phones for existing infrastructure. Due to long planning times,
investment requirements, local government permits, and construction time, it's difficult for infrastructure to keep up with the pace
of change in many developing areas, especially in growth countries.
Interference comes from both obvious and subtle causes. Certain materials aren't transparent to radio signals, especially durable
materials used in buildings, large structures, and even automobiles. As a result there are radio shadows in which a mobile phone
can't sense the signal from a base station. In addition, radio signals from adjacent channels or reflected signals can interfere with
each other due to wave cancellation effects. In some cases these forms of interference primarily attenuate the signal (make it
weaker). However, interference can also add noise, so that the ratio of signal to noise becomes too low for the mobile phone and
the base station to understand each other.
Tower Hand-Off
Mobile phone networks are called "cellular" networks because they are made up of overlapping areas of coverage that are
provided by base stations in fixed locations. As a mobile subscriber travels by automobile or train, he will eventually reach the
limit of a base station's coverage. At that point, his mobile phone will "hand off" to a base station for the next coverage area. If
signal quality is poor due to interference, or if the new base station is congested with too many mobile phones, the subscriber's
connection may be lost.
Lack of Coverage
Some rural or developing areas don't have enough people or population density for operators to justify the cost of installing base
stations except at wide intervals. In these areas the signal strength from the base station or the mobile phone may be too low to
create or maintain a connection. This results in "dead zones" or dropped calls.
10
Solutions to Poor Signal Quality
Operators know that dead zones, dropped calls, and poor voice quality are big problems, and that re-dialing while driving can be
unsafe. Operators also are concerned about subscribers' ability to make emergency calls. They understand that people rely on
mobile phones for business and connecting with family. As mobile phones replace landlines, operators are especially aware that
mobile signal quality is critical. Operators also see that wireless data is increasingly important for personal and business use.
To help, operators work with phone and base station manufacturers to improve antenna performance. They invest in new base
stations in growth areas. They invest in technologies that enable more connections per base station. Operators have even
provided refunds for dropped calls.
However, many factors causing poor signal quality can't be controlled by operators. Therefore products have emerged to help,
provided by operators or companies who sell to either operators or subscribers.
Femtocells
Operators can provide femtocells to subscribers with poor signal quality at home. Usually the subscriber pays for hardware,
installation, or a monthly fee. Femtocells are carrier grade, and are like small base stations that communicate with operators by
using the home Internet connection as a "backhaul". In addition to backhaul the incoming call is routed thru the internet as well,
which leads to the degredation of a call when trying to access the internet as well as engaging in a call. Lastly, femtocells only
work with phones from one operator, so families with phones from multiple operators may have to request multiple femtocells.
Repeaters
Repeaters are usually carrier-grade equipment and are programmed for a specific operator. They extend cellular networks into
buildings and small offices. As with femtocells, installation is complex and if not done properly they can cause network
problems. Unlike femtocells, repeaters do not use the local Internet connections, but rather receive and re-transmit the signals
between base stations and mobile phones.
Boosters
Boosters are usually sold online and through retail. They vary widely in amplification power, quality of amplification, and power
balance. For example, these products amplify signals at 1, 3, 5, or even 10 watts all the time. Using power over 1 watt increases
the probability that a booster will interfere with surrounding mobile devices. Also, it would be more energy efficient to adapt
amplification power as needed, rather than to simply use the same wattage constantly. Many boosters don't support balanced
power in both directions between base station and mobile phone. This may result in only solving the signal quality problem in
one direction. Since communication is bi-directional, this doesn't actually solve the problem. Varying quality of amplification
also introduces noise, which can interfere with surrounding devices.
5BARz has evaluated the causes of poor signal quality, the needs of both operators and subscribers, and the solutions in the
market. Femtocells, repeaters, and boosters either don't solve all parts of the problem, or aren't optimal due to cost or other
drawbacks. Using expertise starting with a team of engineers who designed sophisticated base station amplifiers for operators,
5BARz has developed a new class of carrier-grade technology. That engineering team grew to a multi-national teams of
engineers working on project specific challenges integrated into the 5BARz products. The result is a highly engineered hybrid
of repeaters and boosters, intended for use in automotive applications, home, and office. 5BARz has tested these products in the
lab, in the real world, and with operators. These products advance the state of the art to provide the following advantages:
11
Low Power Use
5BARz products only amplify when required. The automotive products use less than 1/2 watt, while the home product uses
less than 1 watt. This not only saves energy, but also minimizes interference with other wireless devices and the network itself. In
fact, new rules being proposed by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission are expected to mandate low power standards
such as 5BARz now provides.
Simple Setup
5BARz products don't require a technician to run wires, carefully determine proper location, or optimize orientation. No use
of home Internet connection is required, and there are no switches or settings. The unit has a simple plug and play installation
requirement.
Balanced Amplification
This feature, plays a key role in ensuring that the product does not interfere with the macro network, and is a feature covered by
the Companys patented technology. Receive and sent signals need automatic balance management in order for both directions of
a communication channel to be improved. 5BARz products are not only smart about adapting amplification levels, but also
about balancing amplification for incoming signals from the base station, and return signals from the mobile phone. This
attribute is critical in that it ensures that the operation of the unit automatically avoids interference with the Macro Network. This
automated process is a part of the 5BARz patented technology.
Signal Stability
5BARz has done extensive design, testing, and re-design to avoid a number of problems experienced by the antenna design of
alternatives. For example, booster products can experience oscillations when people, animals, or vehicles move nearby. These
oscillations can weaken the booster effect or cause interference with other wireless devices. Many booster products achieve size
similar to 5BARz' products by putting antennas close together in the same product package, but don't optimize radio wave
interactions between those antennas. This weakens the boosters' effectiveness, and is one reason why other manufacturers
compensate by using too much wattage, in turn wasting power and increasing the probability of interfering with other radio
frequency devices and the network.
Integrated Antennae
The Company has developed and patented technology which facilitates the integration of both the receive and transmit antenna
into the single device, without creating a feedback loop. This represents a very significant technological advance permitting the
unit to be a self contained plug and play consumer electronic.
Broadband / Narrow band support
The Companys products can provide amplification for bands from 5 to 60 Mhz.
Smart signal processing
The Companys product is also capable of interference & echo cancellation, in addition to automatic noise suppression. As a
result, the signal that reached your cell phone is both better quality and a stronger signal.
The unit is designed to sense cellular signal strength and will automatically adjust amplification to optimum levels.
12
Enhanced cell phone user experience
The 5BARz unit covers an area of some 4,000 square feet, providing a much increased voice experience and increased data
throughput. In addition, the cell phone handset can experience power savings up to 80%.

According to the GSM Association, the international wireless industry association, 2015 was a year of continued growth in the
mobile industry. The wireless industry achieved more than 7.3 billion mobile connections and operator revenues of more than
$1 trillion. The acceleration of 4G was a major highlight; the global 4G connection base passed the 1 billion mark in late 2015.
4G networks are now available in 151 countries across the world. The global subscriber penetration rate now stands at 63%,
with regional penetration rates ranging from 43% in Sub-Saharan Africa to 85% in Europe. (Source: The Mobile Economy 2016,
GSMA, 2016)
In 2015, it became abundantly clear that developing regions drive growth in the cellular industry. According to the GSM
Association, more than 90% of the incremental 1 billion new mobile subscribers forecast by 2020 will come from developing
markets. The number of smartphone connections globally will increase by 2.6 billion by 2020, and again around 90% of that
growth will come from developing regions. China is already the largest smartphone market, but India will be the real growth
driver; it is set to add almost half a billion new connections over the next five years.
Market Strategy
The Company has ini ally embarked upon a mul channel marke ng strategy with ini al emphasis in India as a direct result of
the very favorable factors and the stage of development of the cellular markets in that region. The Company has limited
activity in Latin America and Africa as the India market penetration strategy is being deployed.
16
Market Strategy - continued
During 2015, the Company has provided cellular network extenders to several Tier 1, cellular network operators in India. Each
unit is calibrated to operate exclusively on that cellular operators frequency band. It is the objec ve of management, that the
5BARz products and technology be integrated into the network infrastructure of selected cellular network operators in the
region. The intent is to work with cellular network operators in integra ng the xed cellular network extenders, designed for
use in the home or oce markets. This xed unit was rst unveiled to the market in February 2014 at the Mobile World
Congress in Barcelona Spain. Since that time the Company has worked with several Tier 1 Cellular Network operators.
The mobile cellular network extenders (Road Warriors), which are not carrier specic are to be marketed through more
conven onal distribu on channels. At the present me the Company has a limited inventory of Road Warrior devices in
Mexico, however sales and marke ng eorts have been mi gated un l such me as the Company has adequate resources to
embark upon a substan ve sales, marke ng and distribu on strategy in the region. Current focus of marke ng eort is in
India.
In addition, the Company is in the process of designing future applications of the Companys technology. Near term design
applications include the integration of additional software and hardware which facilitate the product to become an effective
center of communications for smart home / smart office. Future design applications will facilitate the integration of the
technology with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). The design will add connectivity improvement built into
computers, automobiles, RVs, snow machines etc.

Wireless market in India - continued
On the global stage, India experienced continued rapid growth in new mobile-phone connections with 66.9 million net
additions in 2014, according to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRIA), the official Indian regulatory body.
According to TRIA, the wireless subscriber base amounted to 1.01 billion at the end of 2015, representing an increase
of 67 million subscribers over 2014, when total wireless subscribers amounted to 943.97 million.
The following factors are considered to be particularly relevant with respect to the need for the 5BARz products in
India.
In India the monthly churn rate for subscribers is 6% (BMI India Telecommunications Report, 2Q 2012, pp. 49-
51). To provide to a cellular network operator a distinct competitive advantage, such as that provided by the
5BARz cellular network extender, could result in a substantive migration of customers to that network operator,
and a reduction in churn.
As provided above, congestion is a prominent issue resulting in the degradation of cellular connectivity. India is
the second most populated region in the world, and so the need for the 5BARz technology is most acute.
Mobile and Wireless Telecommunications issued a report, August 2013 which highlight a number of favorable
factors being experienced in the wireless industry in India, which is positive for 5BARz entry into that market as
follows;
The government has recently permitted Foreign Direct Investment in the telecom sector
The industry has moved toward a more friendly regulatory environment
Burgeoning data usage, has created the need for improved connectivity
Customer Satisfaction - A vital cornerstone of any service is the customer. His satisfaction is a direct
indicator of running a good business. This is primarily the service providers responsibility. 5BARz is
offering to service providers improved connectivity for their customers.
Marketing in India
Following the introduction of a number of prototype units for use in India in December 2014, we commenced work
locally through a variety of channels. The Companys consulting engineering team put these units through a series of
field trials in the region, and calibrated the units for optimal performance in the region. Equally important was the joint
work that commenced with the R&D department of a Tier 1 cellular network operator in India. By the end of this
process, we reached the conclusion that the Indian market had substantial need for our technology. The Companys
objective therefore was to manufacture and distribute the 5BARz products, working in conjunction with cellular
network operators in India.
Since that early engagement in December 2014, our involvement in the Indian market has expanded further. Following
successful field testing, two of the largest cellular telecom companies in India approved us as vendors. The
commencement of the first shipment of units to India followed our purchase order received in August 2015 from
Vodafone. We have since received follow on purchase orders from that entity as well as an initial purchase order from a
second tier 1 cellular network operator in the region.
We anticipate that our commercial activities in India will grow and expand in various areas with additional cellular
network providers adopting us as approved vendors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Company has very limited funds, and such funds may not be adequate to take advantage of current and planned business
opportunities. Even if the Company's funds prove to be sufficient to obtain sales orders for products, the Company may not
have enough capital to fully develop the opportunity. The ultimate success of the Company may depend upon its ability to raise
additional capital. As additional capital is needed, there is no assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if
available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. If not available, the Company's operations will be
limited.
The Company has incurred net losses for the period from inception November 14, 2008, to December 31, 2015. The Company
has earned no revenues to date. Consequently the Companys future is dependent upon their ability to obtain financing and to
execute upon their business plan and to create future profitable operations for the business. These factors raise substantial
doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. In the event that the Company cannot raise further debt
or equity capital, or achieve profitable operations, the Company may have to liquidate their business interests and investors
may lose their investment.
The Company faces all of the risks of a new business and the special risks inherent in the investigation, acquisition, and
involvement in a new business opportunity. The Company must be regarded as a new or "start-up" venture with all of the
unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties to which such ventures are subject, and consequently has a high risk or
failure.
The Company currently has only two individuals serving as its officers and directors, and five employees and approximately
twenty eight consultants. The Company will be heavily dependent upon their skills, talents, and abilities to implement its
business plan, and secure additional personnel and may, from time to time, find that the inability of the officers and directors
to fully meet the needs of the business of the Company results in a delay in progress toward implementing its business plan.
We may conduct further offerings in the future in which case investors' shareholdings may be diluted.
Since our inception, we have relied on sales of our common stock to fund our operations. We may conduct further equity
offerings in the future to finance our current operations. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, the price per
share could be lower than that paid by our current stockholders. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our
common stock in order to fund our business operations. If we issue additional stock, investors' percentage interests in us will
be diluted. The result of this could reduce the value of current investors' stock.
19
Regulation of Penny Stocks.
The Company's securities are subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice
requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited
investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase "accredited investors" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess
of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or
that, when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must
make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction
prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker- dealers to sell the Company's securities and also may
affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore.
In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks." Such rules
include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Because the securities of the Company may constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules
would apply to the Company and to its securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of Shares to sell the
securities of the Company in any market that might develop for them.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has
suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by
one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged
matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure
sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask
differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and
broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those
prices and with consequent investor losses. The Company's management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically
in the penny stock market. Although the Company does not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or
of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent
the described patterns from being established with respect to the Company's securities.
Our common stock is not listed on a national exchange and as a public market develops in the future, it may be limited and
highly volatile, which may generally affect any future price of our common stock.
Our common stock currently is listed only in the over-the-counter market on the OTCQB, which is a reporting service and not a
securities exchange. We cannot assure investors that in the future our common stock would ever qualify for inclusion on any
of the NASDAQ markets for our common stock, The American Stock Exchange or any other national exchange or that more
than a limited market will ever develop for our common stock. The lack of an orderly market for our common stock may
negatively impact the volume of trading and market price for our common stock.
20
Any future prices for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors,
including the following:
the depth and liquidity of the markets for our common stock;
investor perception of 5BARz International Inc. and the industry in which we participate;
statements or changes in opinions, ratings or earnings estimates made by brokerage firms or industry analysts relating
to the market in which we do business or relating to us specifically, as has occurred in the past;
In addition, the stock market has recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations are often
unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. As a result of the factors identified above, a stockholder
(due to personal circumstances) may be required to sell his shares of our common stock at a time when our stock price is
depressed due to random fluctuations, possibly based on factors beyond our control.
The Company's limited funds and the lack of full-time management will likely make it impracticable to conduct a complete and
exhaustive investigation and analysis of its chosen business opportunity before the Company commits its capital or other
resources thereto. Management decisions, therefore, will likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent
analysis, market surveys and the like which, if the Company had more funds available to it, would be desirable.
Other Regulation.
The Company may be subject to regulation or licensing by federal, state, or local authorities. Compliance with such regulations
and licensing can be expected to be a time-consuming, expensive process and may limit other investment opportunities of the
Company.
Failure to Perform
The Company may be unable to comply with the payment terms of certain agreements providing the Company with the
exclusive sales marketing and distribution rights to 5BARz product. In the event that the Company defaults on such
agreements, the Company may be unable to maintain operations as a going concern.
The Company has entered into certain agreements related to the exclusive sales marketing and distribution rights. In the event
that the production Company is unable or unwilling for any reason to supply product under the terms of such agreement, the
Company may not be able distribute product or may have business interrupted as they secure alternative production facilities.
21
Competitive Technologies
The Companies technology relates to a market that is highly competitive and a much sought after solution by cellular networks.
The Company expects to be at a disadvantage when competing with firms that have substantially greater financial and
management resources and capabilities than the Company. The Company is subject to technological obsolescence should other
technologies be developed which are superior to the Companies technology. Having said that, at the current time the
Companys core technology is superior to others in the market for the following reasons;
The Companies technology provides for a single unit solution. Competitors require separation of the send and
receive antennae. This gives us a cost advantage as well as fully engineered, plug and play simplicity.
The Companys technology offers highly engineered monitoring of signal strength, automated stabilization and
amplification of the signal resulting in seamless connectivity for the user.
The Company has developed a growing list of attributes working with Cellular Network operators which provide t
operators unsurpassed ability to monitor and remotely manage the units performance.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations
You should read the following discussion together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other
financial information included elsewhere in this report. The discussion in this report contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. The cautionary
statements made in this report should be read as applying to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this
report. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed here.
Overview
5BARz International Inc. is the owner, developer and sales and marketing Company for a line of cellular network devices
branded under the 5BARz. These highly engineered products are state of the art consumer electronics that manage cell signal
within the proximity of the user providing much improved cellular clarity. The products are plug and play, without the need for
extensive set up, and can be delivered as carrier agnostic or set to operate on a single carriers network. The first product brought
to market is the 5BARz Road Warrior, a plug and play device designed for users on the go.
The Company commenced business in 2008 through a subsidiary operation Cellynx Inc. and over the past 7 years has invested in
the development of a technology which has the capability of significantly improving cellular connectivity, clarity and speed in
the vicinity of the user. This year the Company is at that inflection point where its products are now market ready, and have
commenced receiving orders from some of the largest cellular network operators in the world. The Companys initial market is
India, which provides a market which has an epidemic need for the 5BARz products as well as a growth potential which has
more potential for growth than most any in the world.
The Company is engaged in the financing, product development and the sales and marketing activities required to launch this
business globally.
The financial and business analysis below provides information we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our
financial position, results of operations and cash flows. This financial and business analysis should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and related notes included in this form 10-K.

Going Concern
The registrant has an accumulated deficit through December 31, 2015 totaling $25,260,274 and recurring losses and negative
cash flows from operations. Because of these conditions, the registrant will require additional working capital to develop its
business operations. The registrants success will depend on its ability to raise money through debt and the sale of stock and the
development and sale of product to meet its cash flow requirements. The ability to execute its strategic plan is contingent upon
raising the necessary working capital to launch the global sales and marketing activities for the Company.
Management believes that the market sectors that it is in the process of developing in India, sectors within Africa, Western
Europe, Asia and the USA will yield significant results. Further, the efforts that the Company has made to promote its business,
by introducing the products to Cellular Network operators and having the products tested for technical efficacy, has positioned
the Company for integration of the products through cellular network operators in a very meaningful way. Management is
focused upon achieving that goal. If the Companys capital raising efforts do not continue to be successful, the registrants
ability to continue as a going concern will be in question. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the registrant be unable to continue as a going concern.
Results of Operations
Year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014.
The year ended December 31, 2015 reflects a net loss of $10,428,766 representing an increase in the loss of $688,530 compared
to the year ended December 31, 2014 loss of $9,740,236.
The total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $9,559,471 (2014 - $9,395,775). The Company has
continued to pursue the financing of its operations during the year and the commercialization of its technology, and products in
India and Latin America. The Company incurred sales and marketing expenses of $1,179,616 (2014 $1,210,812) and general
and administrative expenses of $3,177,695 ( 2014 - $3,704,013). The most significant portion of the operating expense increase
of $163,696 is the $1,412,197 increase in bank charges and interest expenses, resulting from the increase in the notes that the
Company used as a financing method during the year which had high interest costs, and high interest accruals arising from
default on various notes.

Recent accounting pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-
Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service
Period," ("ASU 2014-12"). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that
could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply
existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" as it relates to
awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are
effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015.
Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU 2014-12 either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted
or modified after the effective date; or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the
beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. We do
not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 on Simplifying the Presentation of Debt issuance costs The ASU changes the
presentation of debt issue costs in financial statements. Under the ASU, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a
direct deduction from the related debt liability. Amortization of the cost is reported as an interest expense. The amendments in
this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is
permitted. The Company adopted this ASU effective December 31, 2015 upon issuance of its annual audited financial
statements. At that time the Company applied the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods. The adoption of this
pronouncement did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory , that requires
inventory not measured using either the last in, first out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method to be measured at the lower of cost
and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably
predictable cost of completion, disposal and transportation. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and will be applied prospectively. Early adoption is
permitted. The Company adopted this ASU effective December 31, 2015 upon issuance of its annual audited financial
statements. At that time the Company applied the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods. The adoption of this
pronouncement did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that
arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments
(the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a
term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to
recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the
beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The new standard will be effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for
all public business entities. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard on the Companys
consolidated financial position and results of operations.
The FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 requires that an entity
should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. An entity should disclose
sufficient information to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of
revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not permitted for all public business
entities. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
31
FASB, the Emerging Issues Task Force and the SEC have issued certain other accounting standards, updates, and regulations as
of December 31, 2015 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management does not believe that any of
those updates would have significantly affected our financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during
2015 or 2014, and it does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated
financial statements at the time they become effective.
Our Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with the accounting guidance which requires that
goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or
circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. The Accounting Standards
Codification (Codification) requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or
one level below an operating segment). Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the
identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and
determining the fair value. Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of reporting units which includes
estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and
assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment.
When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company may assess qualitative factors for some or all of its reporting units to
determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is
less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Alternatively, the Company may bypass this qualitative assessment for some
or all of our reporting units and perform a detailed quantitative test of impairment (step 1). If the Company performs the detailed
quantitative impairment test and the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company would perform an
analysis (step 2) to measure such impairment. In 2013, the Company first performed a qualitative assessment to identify and
evaluate events and circumstances to conclude whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Companys reporting
unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on the Companys qualitative assessments, the Company concluded that a positive
assertion can be made from the qualitative assessment that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is
less than its carrying amount. In accordance with the Codification, the Company reviews the carrying value of its intangibles and
other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying
amount of the asset or asset group to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If the
undiscounted cash flows of such assets are less than the carrying amount, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, if any, exceeds its fair market value. No impairment was
deemed to exist as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.
32
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies have been translated into US dollars using the current rate method. The functional currency of
the Companys former subsidiary 5BARz AG, is its local currency (Swiss Franc CHF). The functional currency of the
Companys subsidiary 5BARz International SA de CV, in Mexico is the local currency, the Mexican Peso, and the functional
currency in the Companys subsidiary 5BARz India Private Limited is the functional currency in India, the Indian Rupee. Assets
and liabilities are translated based upon the exchange rates at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expense accounts are
translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates.
The resulting gain and loss adjustments are accumulated as a component of stockholders equity and other comprehensive
income.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation Stock Compensation.
ASC 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant
date and recognize the expense over the employees requisite service period. Under ASC 718, the Companys volatility is based
on the historical volatility of the Companys stock or the expected volatility of similar companies. The expected life assumption
is primarily based on historical exercise patterns and employee post-vesting termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate for
the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
For non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on financial reporting dates and vesting dates until the
service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period the services are required to be provided in
exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of options.
Option-pricing models require the input of highly complex and subjective variables including the expected life of options granted
and the Companys expected stock price volatility over a period equal to or greater than the expected life of the options. Because
changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated value of the Companys employee stock options, it is
managements opinion that the Black-Scholes option-pricing model may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of the
Companys employee stock options. Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in accordance with ASC
718 using an option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/seller market
transaction.
The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based
compensation issued to employees and non-employees.
The fair value of an embedded conversion option that is convertible into a variable amount of shares and warrants that include price
protection reset provision features are deemed to be down-round protection and, therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment
as a derivative under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, since down-round protection is not an input into the calculation of the fair
value of the conversion option and warrants and cannot be considered indexed to the Companys own stock which is a requirement for
the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company
record the embedded conversion option and warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of
each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting
period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the
classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the
reclassification.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at the year ended December 31, 2015, the reporting issuers current assets were $582,007 (2014 - $263,905) and current
liabilities were $9,748,917 (2014 - $3,764,702), which resulted in a working capital deficiency of $9,166,914 (2014 -
$3,500,797). As at December 31, 2015, current liabilities were comprised of: (i) $1,118,495 in accounts payable and accrued
expenses that arose from the acquisition of the Companys subsidiary CelLynx Group, Inc. acquired in March 2012; and (ii)
$3,878,723 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities arising from the operations of 5BARz International Inc. (iii) $2,883,264
of notes payable, and $1,868,439 of derivative liabilities arising from convertible debt that contained a variable conversion
feature with an indeterminable number of shares therefore the Company applied a sequencing policy resulting in all warrants
issued subsequently to be classified as a derivative liability with the exception of share based compensation to employees or
directors.
As at December 31, 2015, the Companys total assets were $4,619,805 comprised of: (i) $582,007 in current assets; and (ii)
$2,753,585 comprised of the 5BARz intangible assets, net (iii) $1,140,246 comprised of goodwill on the 60% investment in
CelLynx Group, Inc., and (iii) $143,967 of furniture and equipment, net.
As at December 31, 2015, the Companys total liabilities were $9,748,921 (2014 - $3,815,608).
Stockholders equity decreased from an equity balance of $1,086,931 at December 31, 2014 to stockholders equity of ($5,129,
116) at December 31, 2015. This decrease of $6,216,047 is attributable in the most part to a loss during the period of
$10,398,044, which was offset by the issuance of equity securities of $4,304,489. The differential is comprised of warrants being
reclassified as derivative liabilities.
The Company is an emerging growth company and has not commenced planned principle operations. The Company has no
substantial revenue to date. The Company is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, and there is no assurance
these activities will be successful. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going
concern and the Companys continued existence is dependent upon adequate additional financing being raised to develop its
sales and marketing program for the sales of 5BARz product and commence its planned operations.
Subsequent to December 31, 2015 the Company issued 27,820,000 units from a Private Placements for proceeds of $1,391,000
at a price of $0.05 per unit, completed during the period January 1, 2016 to April 7, 2016.
We anticipate that our operational and general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months will be substantial, but
maintained in relation to our ability to raise capital. When sufficient financing is received, we will add additional management,
engineering, and sales personnel. However, we do not intend to increase our staff until such time as we can raise the capital or
generate revenues to support the additional costs. The allocation, purposes and timing of any monies raised in subsequent private
financings may vary significantly depending upon the exact amount of funds raised and our progress with the execution of our
business plan.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The Company has financed operations from the issuance of equity and debt securities. For the year ended December 31, 2015,
net cash flows provided from financing activities was $4,346,680 comprised of proceeds from the sale of common stock in the
amount of $2,960,168 and proceeds the issuance of convertible securities of $2,476,750. The Company repaid convertible notes
in the amount of $1,071,434 and cancellation of capital leases of $18,804.
We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through further issuances of securities by the Company
as well as the sales of equity in subsidiaries licensed to sell 5BARz product in foreign jurisdictions and from proceeds generated
by sales, or through the leverage of these payments.
We note that additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders.
Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not
be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may
not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially
restrict our business operations.
Contractual Obligations
The impact of contractual obligations on our liquidity and capital resources in future periods should be analyzed in conjunction
with the factors that impact our cash flows discussed previously. The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at
December 31, 2015:
PAYMENTS DUE BY PERIOD
Less than 1 More than 5
December 31, 2015 Total Year 1 to 3 Years 3 to 5 Years Years
On July 24, 2013 the Company entered into a lease agreement in San Diego for facilities, which commenced on October 1, 2013.
Pursuant to the terms of that lease, the Company committed over a period of 39 months. In May 2014 the Company entered into a
commitment to expand the Companys leased facilities in San Diego for a period of 66 months, from September 1, 2014. As a
result, the future minimum lease payments for the existing and expanded facilities at December 31, 2015 is $1,220,947.
On January 1, 2015 the Company entered into an operating lease arrangement in India for the sub-lease of facilities at a monthly
cost of $900 (USD) per month. The sub-lease term is five (5) years. The future minimum lease payments at December 31, 2015
are $43,200.
35
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of the date of this Annual Report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of
operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is
recognized at the date of shipment to customers, and when the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other
significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured.
Going Concern
The independent auditors' report accompanying our financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared "assuming that
we will continue as a going concern," which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and
commitments in the ordinary course of business.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide
the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern.
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We do not have substantial operations at
this time so they are not susceptible to these market risks. If, however, they begin to generate substantial revenue, their
operations will be materially impacted by interest rates and market prices.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of 5BARz International, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the
Company) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive loss, stockholders (deficit) equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to
perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys 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 consolidated
financial position of 5BARz International, Inc. and Subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company has had recurring operating losses since its inception and has
historically been dependent on raising capital from external sources in order to fund its business. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2015 and 2014
Going concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has had substantial no sales
to date. The Company incurred losses of $10,428,766 and $9,740,236 during the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014
respectively. Cash used in operating activities was $4,044,033 and $5,440,416 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014
respectively. The Company is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, and there is no assurance these activities
will be successful. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern and the
Companys continued existence is dependent upon adequate additional financing being raised to develop its sales and marketing
program for the sales of 5BARz product, to expand the Companys product base and commence its planned operations.
Managements assessment of the significant mitigating factors include several quantitative and qualitative conditions which
support the Companys ability to continue as a going concern as follows;
Continued ability to generate proceeds from private placements since inception of the business in 2008, the Company
has financed operations through private placements and debt, with increased volumes in the recent years. The
Companys gross proceeds from private placements for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $2,960,168 compared
to $4,840,545 in 2014. In addition the Company received proceeds of $2,476,750 by issue of convertible debt during
the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $400,000 in 2014. The Company paid for services and settled debt by
the issue of shares in the amount of $1,344,321 during the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $596,720 in
2014. In March 2015, the Companys subsidiary 5BARz India Private Limited engaged Axis Capital in India to raise
$20 million dollars for the Company through the sale of equity securities of subsidiary operations in India.
Product Commercialization In August 2015, the Company became an approved vendor and received its first purchase
orders for product from a Tier 1 cellular network operator in India. Since that time the Company has received follow on
orders from that customer for 50 to 100 units each. In March 2016 the Company became an approved vendor and
received its first purchase orders for product from a second Tier 1 cellular network operator in India.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or
classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2015 and 2014
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 5BARz International Inc., and its subsidiary
companies CelLynx Group Inc. (60%) and its wholly owned subsidiary CelLynx Inc. (100%), 5BARz International SA de CV
(99%) in Mexico, and 5BARz India Private Limited (99.9%) in India. Results of operations for subsidiary Companies are
reflected only from the date of acquisition of that subsidiary, for the period indicated in the respective statements. All
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company started revenue-generating operations in the last quarter of 2015, however these activities are in early stages and
still do not generate cash flows from operations, so the Company is dependent on debt and equity funding to finance its
operations, and it is considered to be a development stage company. The Companys activities are subject to significant risks and
uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to commercialize the Companys current technology before another
company develops similar technology.
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance that removed all incremental financial reporting
requirements from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for development stage entities. The Company
early adopted this new guidance effective June 30, 2014, as a result of which all inception-to-date financial information and
disclosures have been removed from this report.
Use of estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include impairment analysis for long lived assets, income taxes,
litigation and valuation of derivative instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventory
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. As
of December 31, 2015 the Companys inventory included 967 units of Road Warrior cellular network extenders.
There were no long-lived assets impairment charges recorded during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Revenue recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is
recognized at the date of shipment to customers, and when the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other
significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured.
Transactions in foreign currencies have been translated into US dollars using the current rate method. The functional currency of
the Companys former subsidiary 5BARz AG, is its local currency (Swiss Franc CHF). The functional currency of the
Companys subsidiary 5BARz International SA de CV, in Mexico is the local currency, the Mexican Peso, and the functional
currency in the Companys subsidiary 5BARz India Private Limited is the functional currency in India, the Indian Rupee. Assets
and liabilities are translated based in the exchange rates at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expense accounts are
translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates.
The resulting translated gain and loss adjustments are accumulated as a component of stakeholders equity and other
comprehensive income.
Concentrations
The Company maintains cash with major financial institutions. Cash held in US bank institutions is currently insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 at each institution. No similar insurance or guarantee exists for
cash held in Mexico and Indian bank accounts. There were aggregate uninsured cash balances of $13,634 and $0 at December
31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from
investments by owners and distributions to owners. The guidance requires other comprehensive income (loss) to include foreign
currency translation adjustments
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and
for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. The Company additionally
establishes a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets.

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is
determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value
hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:
F-10
5BARz International, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2015 and 2014
The assets or liabilitys fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is
significant to the fair value measurement. The following table provides a summary of the assets that are measured at fair value on
a recurring basis.
The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Companys Level 3 financial liabilities that are
measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
December 31, 2015 December 31, 2014
Beginning balance $ 547,940 $ 60,018
Aggregate fair value of conversion feature upon issuance of common
shares (457,228) 263,490
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities (45,356) 224,432
Reclassification of warrants to derivative liability 1,823,083
Ending balance $ 1,868,439 $ 547,940
The derivative conversion feature liabilities are measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes pricing model and are classified
within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The significant assumptions and valuation methods that the Company used to
determine fair value and the change in fair value of the Companys derivative financial instruments are provided below:
Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that are classified within the Level
3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category presented in the tables above may
include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable
(e.g., changes in historical company data) inputs.
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow
methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market such that the determination of
fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair
value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2015 and 2014
Derivative instruments
The fair value of an embedded conversion option that is convertible into a variable amount of shares and warrants that include
price protection reset provision features are deemed to be down-round protection and, therefore, do not meet the scope
exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, since down-round protection is not an
input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and warrants and cannot be considered indexed to the
Companys own stock which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815. The accounting treatment of
derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option and warrants at their fair
values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair
value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The
Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a
result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
If the Company were to enter into a financial arrangement through the issuance of convertible debt and or warrants, for which
such instruments would contain a variable conversion feature with an indeterminable number of shares, the Company would
apply a sequencing policy in accordance with ASC 815- 40-35-12 whereby such instruments, and all future issuances of
financial instruments regardless of conversion terms, would be classified as a derivative liability with the exception of
instruments related to share-based compensation issued to employees or directors. The Company may also apply sequencing in
any circumstance, whereby the Company has entered into financial arrangements for commitments to issue shares, for which
such issuances would exceed the authorized share limit. Upon the issuance of any such instrument, the excess shares committed
to be issued, would also be reclassified as a derivative liability.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was used to estimate the fair value of the warrants and conversion options. The model
includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The Company determined the fair value
of the Binomial Lattice Model and the Black-Scholes Valuation Model to be materially the same. The expected volatility is
estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the warrants or conversion
options. Conversion options are recorded as debt discount and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the underlying
debt instrument.
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation Stock Compensation.
ASC 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant
date and recognize the expense over the employees requisite service period. Under ASC 718, the Companys volatility is based
on the historical volatility of the Companys stock or the expected volatility of similar companies. The expected life assumption
is primarily based on historical exercise patterns and employee post-vesting termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate for
the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
The Company issued various debt with warrants for which total proceeds were allocated to individual instruments based on the
relative fair value of the each instrument at the time of issuance. The value of the debt was recorded as discount on debt and
amortized over the term of the respective debt.
F-12
5BARz International, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2015 and 2014
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of options.
Option-pricing models require the input of highly complex and subjective variables including the expected life of options granted
and the Companys expected stock price volatility over a period equal to or greater than the expected life of the options.
Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in accordance with ASC 718 using an option-pricing model,
that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/seller market transaction.
For non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on financial reporting dates and vesting dates until the
service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period the services are required to be provided in
exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.
The Company incurred stock based compensation charges during the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 as follows;
12 months ended
December 31
2015 2014
General and administrative $ 146,932 $ 798,885
Research and development 98,741 452,427
Sales and marketing 130,024 425,364
Total $ 375,697 $ 1,676,676
The Company reports net loss per share in accordance with the ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share., which requires
presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and
requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of
the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings per share of common stock is computed
by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus the
issuance of common shares, if dilutive, that could result from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and
conversion of notes payable. These potentially dilutive securities outstanding at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014
respectively of 155,670,170 and 102,517,763 were not included in the calculation of loss per common share, because their effect
would be anti-dilutive.
The Company may not have sufficient Common shares available to issue should all of the above conversions and exercises
occur. Accordingly, the Company may have to settle these contracts in cash if they are not successful in increasing the
authorized number of shares.
The Company applies sequencing with respect to such commitments and other circumstances as disclosed in its accounting
policies for derivatives.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications have
no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-
Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service
Period," ("ASU 2014-12"). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that
could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply
existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" as it relates to
awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are
effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015.
Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU 2014-12 either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted
or modified after the effective date; or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the
beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. We do
not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

presentation of debt issue costs in financial statements. Under the ASU, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a
direct deduction from the related debt liability. Amortization of the cost is reported as an interest expense. The amendments in
this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is
permitted. The Company will adopt this ASU effective December 31, 2015 upon issuance of its annual audited financial
statements. At that time the Company would apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory , that requires
inventory not measured using either the last in, first out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method to be measured at the lower of cost
and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably
predictable cost of completion, disposal and transportation. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and will be applied prospectively. Early adoption is
permitted. The Company currently uses lower of cost or net realizable value.
The FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that
arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments
(the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a
term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to
recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the
beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The new standard will be effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for
all public business entities. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard on the Companys
consolidated financial position and results of operations.
The FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 requires that an entity
should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. An entity should disclose
sufficient information to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of
revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not permitted for all public business
entities. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.

FASB, the Emerging Issues Task Force and the SEC have issued certain other accounting standards, updates, and regulations as
of December 31, 2015 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management does not believe that any of
those updates would have significantly affected our financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during
2015 or 2014, and it does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated
financial statements at the time they become effective.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financing Disclosure
Not Applicable
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the
objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls also is based in part on certain assumptions
regarding the likelihood of certain events, and there can no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals
under all potential future conditions. Given these and other inherent limitations of control systems, these are only reasonable
assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in
Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. Managements assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and
testing of the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, Management
concluded the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore,
even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation and presentation.
An internal control material weakness is a significant deficiency, or aggregation of deficiencies, that does not reduce to a
relatively low level the risk that material misstatements in financial statements will be prevented or detected on a timely basis by
employees in the normal course of their work. An internal control significant deficiency, or aggregation of deficiencies, is one
that could result in a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than consequential.
38
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, and
this assessment identified the following material weaknesses in the companys internal control over financial reporting:
o A system of internal controls (including policies and procedures) has neither been designed nor implemented.
o Segregation of duties in the handling of cash, cash receipts, and cash disbursements is not formalized.
Therefore, we have relied heavily on entity or management review controls to lessen the issue of segregation of duties.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal
control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm
pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements
report in this Annual Report.
