ASKMENOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 2007
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
(A) Organization

AskMeNow, Inc., formerly Ocean West Holding Corporation (the “Company”), was incorporated in Delaware in August 2000, and is a holding company and the parent company of InfoByPhone, Inc. (“InfoByPhone”). InfoByPhone provides information services and content through its AskMeNow™ service to mobile devices. This service allows mobile users to ask questions and receive answers through text messaging/SMS and email. InfoByPhone was formed as a Delaware corporation in June 2004 and was acquired by the Company pursuant to the reverse merger transaction discussed below. The Company also has a foreign wholly-owned subsidiary, AskMeNow, Inc., a Philippine corporation formed in August 2005.

On June 18, 2004, InfoByPhone consummated an agreement with InfoByPhone, LLC, an Ohio LLC formed in January 2004, pursuant to which InfoByPhone, LLC exchanged 100% of its member units for 1,465,000 shares or approximately 80% of the common stock of InfoByPhone. As a result of the agreement, the transaction was treated for accounting purposes as a recapitalization by the accounting acquirer, InfoByPhone, LLC.

On June 6, 2005, pursuant to a Securities Exchange Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of April 14, 2005, by and among the Company, InfoByPhone and the shareholders of InfoByPhone, the Company acquired InfoByPhone in a reverse merger (the “Reverse Merger”), pursuant to which InfoByPhone became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the Reverse Merger, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of InfoByPhone and issued an aggregate 5,586,004 shares of authorized but unissued shares of common stock, par value $0.01, of the Company that, together with 500,000 shares issued to Vertical Capital Partners, Inc. (n/k/a Arjent Ltd.) as a finder’s fee, constituted approximately 56% of the then outstanding capital stock of the Company. As a result of the agreement, the transaction was treated for accounting purposes as a recapitalization by the accounting acquirer, InfoByPhone, Inc.

The Company has incurred significant operating losses since its inception. Management expects that significant on-going operating expenditures will be necessary to successfully implement the Company’s business plan and develop and market its services. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Implementation of the Company’s plans and its ability to continue as a going concern depend upon its securing substantial additional financing. During the first six months of 2007, the Company raised net proceeds of $626,000 through the private sale of unregistered, convertible preferred stock. In addition, the Company raised $3,000,000 through the issuance of notes payable to investors. Management’s plans include efforts to obtain additional capital, although no assurances can be given about the Company’s ability to obtain such capital. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate additional financing or generate profitable sales revenues, it may be unable to continue product development and other activities and may be forced to curtail or cease operations. The consolidated financial statements presented herein do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(B) Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 included herein are unaudited. Such consolidated financial statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods indicated and in order to make the financial statements not misleading. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 or for any other period.

Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the SEC.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(A) Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 include the accounts of AskMeNow, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, InfoByPhone, Inc., AskMeNow, Inc., a Philippines corporation, and InfoByPhone, LLC.

All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(B) Revenue Recognition

The Company currently provides two platforms for asking questions: SMS/text messaging and through a downloaded application. Users are charged on a monthly or per question basis but are not charged for the downloaded application. The Company recognizes revenue for all submitted questions at the time of the inquiry, regardless of the method used to submit the question. For advertising space sold, the Company will recognize revenue over the period the advertisement is displayed. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.

(C) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, there were no cash equivalents.

(D) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

(E) Concentrations of Risk

During fiscal 2005, the Company formed its AskMeNow, Inc. subsidiary in the Philippines. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, approximately 16% and 39% of the Company’s consolidated assets were located in the Philippines, respectively.

The Company at times has cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. At June 30, 2007, the Company had $634,250 in excess of FDIC insurance limits.  At December 31, 2006 the Company had no amount in excess of FDIC insurance limits. At June 30, 2007, the Company had total cash of $99,220 in banks located in the Philippines. At December 31, 2006, the Company had total cash of $18,282 in banks located in the Philippines.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, one customer accounted for 67% and 68% of the Company’s sales, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, one customer accounted for 49% and 59% of the Company’s sales, respectively.

(F) Use of Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(G) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets. The estimated useful life of the computer equipment is five years, estimated useful life of the office furniture is seven years and the estimated useful life of leasehold improvements is the term of the lease or the useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter.

(H) Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising costs charged to operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $30,596, and $89,921, respectively. The advertising costs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $53,120 and $188,266, respectively.

(I) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

(J) Other Comprehensive Income

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The Company discloses this information on its consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit).

(K) Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar. The financial statements of the Company’s Philippines subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars using the period exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurs. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange translations are included in the statements of operations and changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) as other comprehensive income (loss). As of June 30, 2007, the translation adjustment was not material.

(L) Loss Per Share

The Company follows SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share” in calculating basic and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Shares issued and shares reacquired during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. Diluted loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares plus the effect of dilutive common shares. Potential common shares issuable in connection with warrants, options and convertible preferred stock were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the periods presented because their inclusion is anti-dilutive. The total potential number of common shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of dilutive warrants, stock options and convertible preferred stock at June 30, 2007 and 2006 were 60,757,999 and 16,334,043 shares, respectively.

(M) Business Segments

  The Company operates in one segment, mobile devices.

(N) Stock Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised), “Share-Based Payment”, which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations. SFAS No. 123(R) requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions, including employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements. In addition, the Company adheres to the guidance set forth within SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, which provides the views of the staff of the SEC regarding the interaction between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides interpretations with respect to the valuation of share-based payments for public companies.
 
In adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the Company applied the modified prospective approach to transition. Under the modified prospective approach, the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) are to be applied to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the required effective date are recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the required effective date. The compensation costs for that portion of awards are based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for either recognition or pro-forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123.

Common stock, stock options and common stock warrants issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value, as required by SFAS No. 123(R), which is measured as of the date required by EITF Issue 96-18,“Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.” In accordance with EITF 96-18, the stock options or common stock warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock on the “valuation date,” which for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. Where expense must be recognized prior to a valuation date, the expense is computed under the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock at the end of the period, and any subsequent changes in the market price of the underlying common stock up through the valuation date is reflected in the expense recorded in the subsequent period in which that change occurs.

(O) Research and Development

Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits and costs associated with product development. The Company has determined that technological feasibility for its software products is reached shortly before the products are released. Costs incurred after technological feasibility is established are not material, and accordingly, all research and development costs are expensed when incurred.

(P) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

(Q) Reclassification

Certain amounts in the 2006 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 financial presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on net loss.

NOTE 4. LICENSE

On November 2, 2006, the Company’s subsidiary, InfoByPhone, entered into a software license and services agreement with Expert System S.p.A. that grants InfoByPhone an exclusive worldwide perpetual license (exclusive of Italy) for the mobile communications industry to use the Cogito® Contact Mobile Product and the Expert System Technology of Text Mining for structured and unstructured databases, natural language query and answer capability.
 
The Company had previously signed a letter of intent on August 22, 2006 with Expert System that summarized the scope of the proposed agreement with regard to license, service and payment provisions. At the signing of the letter of intent, the Company paid Expert System $150,000 as a start-up phase initial payment. Additional payments required include payment upon integration of each content database with a commitment of at least ten databases in the first 150 days after signing the agreement. A license fee per single computer server is due in twelve monthly installments each commencing the month following the installation of the software. The on-going technical support commences upon integration of the tenth database and requires a per month fee for twelve months. Subsequent to completion of the twelve month start-up phase, Expert System will receive a percentage of the net revenue through the seventh anniversary date of the conclusion of the start-up phase. The term of the agreement starts upon the commencement date for installation and continues until the seventh anniversary date of the conclusion of the start-up phase. As of June 30, 2007, Expert had not completed the installation of the required databases and thus no amortization of the license was recorded during the quarter. Amortization of the license will be over the term of the agreement and commence upon integration of the database software.

NOTE 5. PROMISSORY NOTES

Beginning in February 2007, the Company began an issue of up to $3,000,000 in Bridge promissory notes to accredited investors. The Company issued $2,625,000 in promissory notes during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and offered in the aggregate notes in the principal amount of $3,000,000, which offering closed May 10, 2007. The notes bear interest at 12% per annum payable 90 days after the date of issuance unless extended by the Company for up to an additional 90 days. The Company elected to extend the maturity date for the additional 90 days in accordance with the promissory note extension option, and as a result the notes’ interest rate increased to 14% per annum from original maturity until payment in full. As part of the Bridge offering, the Company was obligated to issue warrants to purchase four shares of common stock for every $1.00 principal amount of notes issued. An aggregate 12,000,000 common stock purchase warrants were issued by the Company in accordance with the fully subscribed $3,000,000 offering. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company issued 10,500,000 warrants to purchase common stock at $.50 per share with a term of five years to investors. The Company calculated a debt discount for the value of the warrants issued during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 amounting to $2,625,000, which will be amortized over the life of the notes. The Company recorded additional interest expense of $2,310,279 to reflect the amortization of the discount during the quarter ended June 30, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the debt discount amounted to $3,000,000 and interest expense amounted to $2,390,279.

As part of the Bridge offering the Company offered the selling agent warrants to purchase 3,600,000 shares of common stock of the Company if the entire Bridge financing of $3,000,000 was subscribed, or a proportionately smaller number of warrants if less money was loaned. At June 30, 2007, the entire 3,600,000 warrants to purchase common stock at $.50 per share with a term of five years had been issued to the selling agent. The Company calculated a debt offering cost asset amount for the value of the warrants issued during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 amounting to $1,984,836, which will be amortized over the life of the notes. The Company recorded amortization expense of $1,706,164 to reflect the amortization of the debt offering costs during the quarter ended June 30, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the debt offering cost amounted to $2,202,972 and amortization expense totaled $1,749,326. The net book value of the debt offering costs at June 30, 2007 was $453,646.
 
NOTE 6. PROMISSORY NOTES - RELATED PARTIES

On March 1, 2006, Darryl Cohen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, loaned the Company $105,000. The bridge loan was completed on March 8, 2006 and was evidenced by a 16% secured promissory note due on the earliest of the closing of a financing of $1,000,000 in debt, equity or other infusion of capital, or June 30, 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company repaid principal and interest of $102,376 and $7,624, respectively. On May 15, 2007, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance of $2,624 and $243 in accrued interest in full.

In January 2006, Sandro Sordi, a director of the Company, loaned the Company $100,000. The loan is evidenced by a 10% subordinated promissory note due 60 days from the date of issuance. On May 17, 2007, the Company and the note holder agreed to extend the due date for repayment of the principal balance and accrued interest until completion of the next round of equity financing. As compensation for the note payable extension, the note holder was granted four warrants for every $1 of principal and accrued interest outstanding on May 17, 2007 which totaled $113,041. The Company issued 452,164 warrants to Sandro Sordi, exercisable for five years at $.50 per share with the same registration and other rights granted to the bridge promissory note holders.

Preferred Stock Offerings

Commencing April 25, 2006, the Company began an offering of Series A preferred stock in the form of a Unit, with each Unit consisting of (i) 5,000 shares of Series A preferred stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable for a period of three years at a price of $0.50 per share. On July 20, 2006, a supplement to the private placement memorandum used in connection with the offering of such Units was approved, which supplement re-priced the offering and modified the preferred stock offered. All investors that had invested in the Series A private placement were offered an opportunity to exchange their shares of Series A preferred stock for shares of Series B preferred stock that were identical in all respects to the Series A shares except for the conversion price, which was reduced to $.50 per share. In addition, the number of warrants issued per Unit was increased from 50,000 to 100,000 warrants while the exercise price remained at $0.50 per share.  The number of warrants issued to the placement agent also increased from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000, exercisable at $.50 per share of common stock rather than $1.00 per share (or such proportionately smaller number if less than the maximum offering amount was raised).

The Company completed the sale of an additional 13 Units amounting to $725,000 in the first quarter of 2007 until the offering was closed to new investment on February 28, 2007. The offering closed with a total of 134 Units of the Series A and B preferred stock issued for aggregate gross proceeds of $6,705,000 ($2,375,000 from the sale of 237,500 shares of Series A preferred stock, and $4,330,000 from the sale of 433,000 shares of Series B preferred stock). The placement agent in connection with such offering received warrants to purchase, with a cashless exercise feature, 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, exercisable at $.50 per share, as well as (1) an aggregate of $707,000 sales commissions, (2) $162,000 in non-accountable expenses, and (3) 1,200,000 shares of common stock. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, Series A holders exchanged $2,100,000 of investment for Series B shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, Series A holders exchanged $3,350,000 of investment for Series B shares.
 
-12-


In May 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an offer to holders of the Series A and Series B preferred stock in settlement of claims such holders may have had against the Company in connection with the Company’s bridge financing that closed in the second quarter of 2007. Specifically, for an 18 month period following completion of the preferred stock offering, the Company was prohibited from offering securities (including derivative securities) at less than $1.25 per share without the consent of the investor representative appointed by the investors in the preferred stock offerings. The Company provided participants in the 2007 bridge financing with warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at $.50 per share and did not obtain the investor representative’s approval.

As consideration for the waiver of any breach and as consideration for the termination of the $1.25 floor going forward, and with the approval of the investor representative, the Board approved the issuance to holders of the Series A Stock and Series B Stock of additional warrants to purchase 2 shares of Common Stock for each $1.00 in principal held at $.50 per share for a term of five years. Any such holder will receive the additional warrants upon such holder’s acceptance of the settlement offer and execution of a waiver of any breach or claims. In the event the settlement offer is accepted by the holders of at least 50% of the outstanding Series A Stock and Series B Stock, the Company will no longer be prohibited from offering securities (including derivative securities) at less than $1.25 per share, provided that any new securities are offered at a price at or above $.50 per share. As of June 30, 2007, holders of 5,000 shares of Series A preferred stock and holders of 310,500 shares of Series B preferred stock had accepted the settlement offer.

(C) Warrants Issued

In May, 2007, the Company issued warrants to purchase 452,164 shares of common stock to a director with an exercise price of $0.50 per share in exchange for his agreement to extend the maturity date of his promissory note with the Company. The Company recorded the fair market value of the warrants based on the fair value of each warrant estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 2007: dividend yield of zero, expected volatility of 242%, risk-free interest rate of 5.07%, and expected lives of five years. The Company recorded $337,465 in additional interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 in connection with these warrants.

As discussed elsewhere herein, during the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company issued warrants to purchase (a) 2,100,000 shares of common stock in connection with the modification of the preferred stock Unit offering and conversion of Series A to Series B preferred stock shares, and (b) 10,500,000 shares of common stock in connection with $2,625,000 raised in the Bridge note offering. The Company also issued 3,600,000 warrants for shares of common stock to the placement agent in the Bridge note offering.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company issued warrants to purchase (a) 1,450,000 shares of common stock in connection with $750,000 of new subscriptions for preferred stock Units, (b) 3,350,000 shares of common stock in connection with the modification of the preferred stock Unit offering and conversion of Series A to Series B preferred stock shares, and (c) 12,000,000 shares of common stock in connection with $3,000,000 raised in its Bridge note offering. The Company also issued 3,600,000 warrants for shares of common stock to the placement agent in the Bridge note offering.

NOTE 8. STOCK OPTION PLAN

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company’s 2005 and 2006 Plans (as defined below) were accounted for in accordance with the recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised), “Share-Based Payment”, which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations. SFAS No. 123(R) requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions, including employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements. In addition, the Company adheres to the guidance set forth within SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, which provides the Staff’s views regarding the interaction between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides interpretations with respect to the valuation of share-based payments for public companies.
 
-13-


Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for similar transactions in accordance with APB No. 25, which employed the intrinsic value method of measuring compensation cost. Accordingly, compensation expense was not recognized for fixed stock options if the exercise price of the option equaled or exceeded the fair value of the underlying stock at the grant date.

While SFAS No. 123 encouraged recognition of the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant as expense over the vesting period, companies were permitted to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB No. 25 and disclose certain pro-forma amounts as if the fair value approach of SFAS No. 123 had been applied. In December 2002, SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FAS No. 123,” was issued, which, in addition to providing alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation, required more prominent pro-forma disclosures in both the annual and interim financial statements. The Company complied with these disclosure requirements for all applicable periods prior to January 1, 2006.

In adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the Company applied the modified prospective approach to transition. Under the modified prospective approach, the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) are to be applied to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the required effective date are recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the required effective date. The compensation costs for that portion of awards are based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for either recognition or pro-forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123.

As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company’s results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 include share-based compensation expense totaling $1,533,467 and $2,261,408, respectively, which has been included in salaries and compensation expense. No income tax benefit has been recognized in the income statement for share-based compensation arrangements as the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset.

Stock option compensation expense in fiscal 2006 is the estimated fair value of options granted amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire portion of the award.

Accounting for Non-employee Awards 

The Company previously accounted for options granted to its non-employee consultants using the fair value cost in accordance with SFAS No. 123. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) as of January 1, 2006 has had no material impact on the accounting for non-employee awards.

 The fair value of options at the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions made in calculating the fair values of options are as follows:

   
For the
 
 
 
six
 
 
 
months ended

There were 1,800,000 and zero non-employee stock option awards granted in the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There were 4,750,000 and 2,470,000 employee and director stock options granted in the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. None of the options granted during the first six months of 2007 to employees or non-employees were granted under the Company’s employee stock option plans.

Plan Information

In August, 2006, the 2006 Employee Stock Incentive Plan was approved and adopted by the Board of Directors, and subsequently amended in June 2007 (as amended, the “2006 Plan”).

Employment Contracts

In July 2005, InfoByPhone Inc. entered into an employment agreement with Darryl Cohen for a term of three years at an annual minimum salary of $110,000, with additional bonuses and fringe benefits as determined by the Board of Directors. In April, 2006 the Company increased the President’s base salary to $250,000 per year and provided for an automobile allowance of $6,840 per year.
 
-15-


In May 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company determined that in the event of a change of control as defined in Mr. Cohen’s employment agreement, which definition was revised to include the issuance of 25% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company to one or more persons acting together as a group (with certain exceptions), all options, warrants and restricted shares outstanding and not then vested held by Messrs. Cohen, Sordi and Smith and Dennis Bergquist, financial consultant to the Company, would accelerate and become fully vested. In addition, each of such four individuals would be granted a non-qualified option or warrant granting the right to purchase that number of shares equal to the number of shares subject to all of each such individual’s options and warrants outstanding as of May 17, 2007, such change of controls options and warrants to be exercisable at the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of the change of control.

On October 10, 2006, the Company entered into employment agreements with eight executives, each for a term of one year at an annual average salary of $74,450, with additional bonuses and fringe benefits as determined by the Board of Directors.

In May 2007, the Board of Directors amended the employment agreements of two of these officers to provide for the issuance of (a) 700,000 options to the Company’s Director of Interactive Media, and (b) 700,000 options to the Company’s Director of Revenue and Content. In both cases, 500,000 options were granted at $.80 per share and vested when the Company entered into an agreement with the Wikipedia Foundation on May 25, 2007, and 200,000 of which were granted on May 17, 2007, at $.75 per share, of which 50,000 vest in the sole discretion of the CEO each time (up to four times) a material contract is executed between the Company and a licensed third-party content provider, or an “Enterprise Contract” (as defined in the employment agreement, as amended) is executed.

Financial Advisory Agreement

In July 2006, the Company entered into a financial advisory agreement with Arjent Ltd. for twenty-four months at a rate of $5,000 per month. Pursuant to an underwriting agreement with its financial advisor, the Company is obligated to an exclusive period of twenty-four months commencing on March 1, 2007 and ending on February 28, 2009. Management believes that the financial advisor has not performed in accordance with the agreement and has ceased to provide services to the Company. Due to this breach of the agreement, management believes that the Company has no further obligation or exclusivity with the financial advisor.

In February 2007, the Company entered into a financial advisory agreement for twelve months with Halpern Capital, Inc. In the event that Halpern Capital, Inc. successfully completes a securities offering with at least $25 million in gross proceeds, the Company has agreed to purchase additional financial services for a minimum of twelve months at a rate of $20,000 per month. The Company may cancel after six months for cause if the financial advisor fails to perform the duties specified in the agreement.

Financial Consulting Agreement

In January 2007, the Company entered into a financial consulting agreement for twelve months at a rate of $14,600 per month.

Litigation

The Company has been advised that there are 448,420 outstanding warrants to purchase common stock of the Company, a portion of which may still be exercisable despite former management’s representation and warranty that there were no outstanding warrants at the time of the Reverse Merger. Included in these warrants are 300,000 claimed to be exercisable at $0.25 per share through August 15, 2007. The alleged holder of these warrants, a former consultant of the Company, has filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (06 CV 609) seeking specific performance of an agreement which provided for “piggyback” registration rights and seeking to have the Company include the 300,000 shares underlying the warrants in its then pending registration statement on Form SB-2. Notwithstanding the fact that the subject matter of the lawsuit is still in dispute, the Company has agreed to register the shares. The Company has answered the complaint and denied the claims. On July 16, 2007, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint alleged damages of not less than $525,000 which the Company believes is without merit. The Company has until August 24, 2007 to move to have the complaint dismissed.

In December 2005, the Company received a claim from an attorney for Marshall Stewart, the former CEO of the Company. Mr. Stewart was employed by the Company under an employment agreement dated September 1, 2004. Mr. Stewart was to be compensated $180,000 per year in base salary plus bonuses through August 31, 2007. Mr. Stewart’s claim is for a breach of contract alleged to have occurred in late 2004 when the Company was under the control of Consumer Direct of America, the Company’s then-principal shareholder (“CDA”), and for CDA’s failure to advise the Company’s stockholders of the sale of the company until after the Reverse Merger. As of June 30, 2007, the Company has not accrued any expense related to the claim and no further developments have occurred regarding this claim.

On May 5, 2006, a judgment by default in the amount of $604,391 was entered in favor of IndyMacBank, F.S.B., in the Los Angeles Superior Court against the Company (then known as Ocean West Holding Corporation), former subsidiary Ocean West Enterprises, Inc. (“OWE”), CDA and Does 1 through 100, inclusive. The underlying complaint brought by the federal bank alleged a default by OWE under settlement agreements with the bank, which had purchased certain loans from OWE. The complaint did not state a cause of action against the Company. Pursuant to Section 13.3 of the Securities Exchange Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of April 14, 2005, the Company gave CDA notice of a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in, among other things, Section 5.5 of the Exchange Agreement. In addition, CDA assumed and agreed to indemnify the Company from any and all liabilities as of May 23, 2005, whether known or unknown, pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption of Liabilities Agreement of the same date. Personal service upon the Company’s registered agent was claimed, but the Company was never served and sought to remove the judgment. On August 8, 2007, the default judgment against the Company was vacated in the Los Angeles Superior Court on the basis that the Company had not been properly served.

The Company has been advised by Pioneer Credit Recovery, Inc. that the U.S. Department of Treasury has placed with Pioneer an account owed to it by the Company’s former subsidiary, OWE. The former principals of OWE did not disclose that they and OWE had guaranteed three HUD loans in the aggregate amount of $151,980. In the event a claim is made against the Company by Pioneer, the U.S. government or any agency or instrumentality thereof, or any other party, the Company will seek indemnification from the former principals of OWE, CDA, and their respective affiliates under both the Exchange Agreement and an Assignment and Assumption of Liabilities Agreement dated May 23, 2005 that the Company entered into with the former principals in connection with the Reverse Merger. As of June 30, 2007, the Company has not accrued any amount for this guarantee.

NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Bridge Loan Financing

Beginning in August, 2007, the Company commenced a bridge loan offering on a “best-efforts” no minimum basis, of up to $1 million principal amount of 12% Junior Promissory Notes due and payable 180 days from the date of issuance unless extended by the Company for up to an additional 90 days. The Company will issue warrants with an exercise price of $0.50 to purchase two shares of common stock for every $1.00 principal amount of notes issued. As of August 14, 2007, the Company had not borrowed any funds related to the $1,000,000 offering.

Expert System S.p.A. Acquisition Letter of Intent

On April 12, 2007, the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of intent to acquire 100% of the capital stock of Expert System S.p.A. The Company recently received notice on August 10, 2007 that the letter of intent to acquire Expert System S.p.A. had expired, although management continues to negotiate the acquisition and the raising of sufficient equity capital for the transaction.

Annual Meeting of Stockholders

The Company held its annual meeting of stockholders at its principal executive offices in Irvine, California on August 1, 2007. At such meeting, the holders of the Company’s common stock (a) elected the three nominees to the Board of Directors, (b) approved the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company that (i) increased the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 100,000,000 shares to 300,000,000 shares, (ii) eliminated the Class B and Class D common stock of the Company and all related provisions, (iii) eliminated the Series E, Series F, Series G, Series I and Series L preferred stock of the Company and all related provisions, and (iv) eliminated the voting provisions relating to the Company’s existing Series A and Series B preferred stock, and (c) approved the 2006 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (as amended).

At the meeting, the holders of the Company’s Series A and B preferred stock were entitled to vote on the election of directors and the elimination of the voting rights of their respective series of preferred stock as set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Because a quorum of neither the Series A nor Series B preferred stock existed at the meeting, no voting occurred on such proposals. As a result, the three nominees to the Board were not elected but shall remain in office until their successors are duly elected and qualified. In addition, the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was approved but without the elimination of the voting rights of the Series A and Series B preferred stock.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Note that our preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies or critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2006, nor have we adopted any accounting policy that has or will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. For further discussion of our accounting policies see Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB/A for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Revenue Recognition

The Company currently provides two platforms for asking questions: SMS/text messaging and through a downloaded application. Users are charged on a monthly or per question basis but are not charged for the downloaded application. The Company recognizes revenue for all submitted questions at the time of the inquiry, regardless of the method used to submit the question. For advertising space sold, the Company will recognize revenue over the period the advertisement is displayed. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, and costs associated with product development. The Company has determined that technological feasibility for its software products is reached shortly before the products are released. Costs incurred after technological feasibility is established are not material, and accordingly, all research and development costs are expensed when incurred.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The financial statements of the Company’s Philippines subsidiary are translated to the U.S. dollar using the period exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurred. As of June 30, 2007, the translation adjustment was ($6,000).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and notes thereto and our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, as well as our Management’s Discussion and Analysis, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2006 as filed with the SEC.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 as compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2006

Revenue  

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were $4,403, a decrease of $555, or 11%, over revenues of $4,958 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

The decrease in revenues was due to the Company transitioning its revenue model to providing an automated enterprise solution as well as a consumer product that will be advertising revenue supported. During the three month period ended June 30, 2007, the Company continued to generate revenue from various customers on a per use basis. In addition, the Company anticipates an increase in sales in the United States as it develops its enterprise solution customer base and expands its current marketing program within the next 12 months.

Costs and Operating Expenses

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 amounted to $368,666, a decrease of $307,912, or 46%, over cost of revenue of $676,578 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The decrease relates primarily to a decrease in payroll costs and other associated call center costs as the Company focuses its marketing and development efforts on its automated enterprise solution and consumer product mobile service offerings. The Company expects to continue to incur significant costs as it continues to expand its services offering. The Company’s costs of revenue are from its call center in the Philippines, fixed amounts paid to third-party content providers and its database content integration with Expert System S.p.A.

Research and Development

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, our research and development expenditures were $24,231, a decrease of $30,177, or 55%, over expenses of $54,408 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The decrease was the result of a reduction in R&D payroll costs incurred by the Company. Our research and development costs primarily relate to product development as the Company adds new features and upgrades to its mobile services technology. The Company expects to incur additional research and development expenses as it enhances its services and features.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 amounted to $381,474, a decrease of $96,372, or 20%, over general and administrative expenses of $477,846 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in investor relations costs during the quarter as management worked to reduce the Company’s overhead costs. The Company’s primary general and administrative costs are for travel, consulting fees, insurance premiums, facilities and office expenses, public and/or investor relations services, marketing-related costs, and amortization/depreciation charges.

Professional Fees

Professional fees for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were $405,549, an increase of $93,999, or 30%, over professional fees of $311,550 for the three month period ended June 30, 2006. The increase is the result of an overall increase in financings, SEC filings, and agreements negotiated during the three months ended June 30, 2007. Professional fees consist of legal and accounting fees associated with the Company’s SEC reporting obligations and attorney fees associated with various contracts, litigation and agreements prepared on behalf of the Company.
 
Salaries and Compensation

Salaries and compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by $192,002 to $2,232,198, or 9%, over expenses of $2,040,196 for the same period ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily related to the compensation expense recorded pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R) for employee stock option awards and other officer and director compensation.

Other Income/Expense

Interest Expense

Interest expense during the quarter was $4,426,303, an increase of $4,284,555 over interest expense of $141,748 for the same period ended June 30, 2006. The increase was comprised of $2,310,279 in debt discounts amortized during the period relating to the warrants given to the debt holders as part of the Company’s bridge promissory note offering, $1,705,164 in amortization of debt offering costs relating to warrants given to the selling agent of the Company’s bridge offering, and $265,593 in additional financing costs incurred in securing the extension of the maturity date of a related party’s promissory note.

Net Loss

The net loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 before preferred dividends totaled $7,834,018, compared with $3,697,368 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $4,136,650 or 112%. The increase resulted primarily from the non-cash increase in interest expense related to the debt discounts on the bridge promissory note offering, amortization of debt offering costs and an increase of salary compensation recorded pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R). In addition, cumulative dividends on the outstanding Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock totaled $167,166 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared with zero for the same period in 2006. The combined net loss applicable to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $8,001,184, or $0.24 per share, on 33,299,887 weighted average common shares outstanding. This compared with the net loss applicable to common shareholders for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 of $3,697,368, or $0.14 per share, on 26,400,040 weighted average common shares outstanding.

The increase in revenues was due to the overall increase in customer use of the Company’s per use AskMeNow service. The Company is transitioning its revenue model to providing an automated enterprise solution as well as a consumer product that will be advertising revenue supported. During the six month period ended June 30, 2007, the Company continued to generate revenue from various customers on a per use basis.

The decrease relates primarily to a reduction in payroll costs and other associated call center costs as the Company focuses its marketing and development efforts on its automated enterprise solution and consumer product mobile service offerings.

Most of the costs are derived from its call center in the Philippines, fixed amounts paid to third-party content providers and its database content integration with Expert System S.p.A.

The decrease was the result of a reduction in R&D payroll costs incurred by the Company.

The decrease was primarily the result of decreases in consulting fees of $170,000 and investor relations costs of $133,000 during the quarter as management worked to reduce the Company’s overhead costs. The Company’s primary general and administrative costs are for travel, consulting fees, insurance premiums, facilities and office expenses, public and/or investor relations services, marketing-related costs, and amortization/depreciation charges.

Professional Fees

Professional fees for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $1,042,798, an increase of $253,081, or 32%, over professional fees of $789,717 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. The increase is the result of an overall increase in financings, SEC filings, and agreements negotiated during the three months ended June 30, 2007. Professional fees consist of legal and accounting fees associated with the Company’s SEC reporting obligations and attorney fees associated with various contracts and agreements prepared on behalf of the Company.
 
Salaries and Compensation

Salaries and compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by $762,674 to $3,274,594, or 30%, over expenses of $2,511,920 for the same period ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily related to the compensation expense recorded pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R) for employee stock option awards and other officer and director compensation.

Other Income/Expense

Interest Expense

Interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $4,511,239, an increase of $4,250,916 over interest expense of $260,323 for the same period ended June 30, 2006. The increase was comprised of $2,310,279 in debt discounts amortized during the period relating to the warrants given to the debt holders as part of the Company’s bridge promissory note offering, $1,705,164 in amortization of debt offering costs relating to warrants given to the selling agent of the Company’s bridge offering, and $265,593 in additional financing costs incurred in securing the extension of the maturity date of a related party’s promissory note.

Net Loss

The net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 before preferred dividends totaled $10,442,728, compared with $5,793,893 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $4,648,835 or 80%. The increase resulted primarily from the non-cash increase in interest expense related to the debt discounts on the bridge promissory note offering, amortization of debt offering costs and an increase in salary compensation recorded pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R). In addition, cumulative dividends on the outstanding Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock totaled $330,084 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with zero for the same period in 2006. The combined net loss applicable to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $10,772,812, or $0.35 per share, on 31,005,545 weighted average common shares outstanding. This compared with the net loss applicable to common shareholders for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 of $5,793,893, or $0.22 per share, on 26,182,330 weighted average common shares outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Product development, the national rollout of our service, initial sales, financial advisors, expansion of service offerings, call center operational staffing in the Philippines, and administrative and executive personnel are and will continue to be the principal basis for our cash requirements. We have provided operating funds for the business since its inception through private offerings of debt and equity to U.S. accredited and foreign investors. We will be required to make additional offerings in the future to support the operations of the business until our products and services reach profitability and are fully introduced into the market. We used $2,841,726 and $2,788,216 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, in operating activities.

We were able to raise $3,626,000 in net proceeds from the sale of convertible preferred stock and bridge notes payable during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $4,579,305 from the sale of convertible preferred stock and notes payable for the same period in 2006. The proceeds of the preferred stock and bridge note offerings were used to continue product development, introduce the product into the market, and pay current operational expenses. At June 30, 2007, the Company had $833,470 cash on hand compared to $61,279 as of December 31, 2006. This cash position results from the securing of additional bridge financing and a continuing effort to pay the Company’s operating expenses and best manage available cash.

Our operations have been, and will continue to be, dependent upon management’s ability to raise operating capital in the form of equity and debt. We have incurred significant operating losses since inception of the business. We expect that on-going operating expenditures will be necessary to successfully implement our business plan and develop, manufacture and market our products and services. Specifically, we anticipate that our total operating expenses will continue to increase in future periods as our sales increase. Included in these anticipated increases are salaries and benefits for additional employees, and increased marketing and advertising expenses. We also anticipate that our professional fees will continue to increase as we seek to raise additional capital. We cannot, however, at this time predict the amount of any of these increases. Our revenues are not sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months and we anticipate that we will incur losses for the foreseeable future until such time as we can significantly increase our revenues. Because of the early stage of our business, the highly competitive nature of our industry and our lack of sufficient working capital, it is unlikely that we will be able to increase our revenues in the near future to a level which will sustain our operations and enable us to report a profit. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional capital to meet our current operating needs or to complete licenses of technologies. If we are unable to raise sufficient adequate additional capital or generate profitable sales revenues, we may be forced to substantially curtail product development and other activities, and may be forced to cease operations. These factors as well as our net loss in 2007 to date of $10,772,812 and net cash used in operations in 2007 of $2,841,726 raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s chief executive officer, who is also the Company’s chief financial officer, has reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that review and evaluation, our chief executive officer has concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented, are not effective to ensure that such officer is provided with information related to the Company required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified.

As part of the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2007, management considered the impact of weaknesses in such disclosure controls and procedures identified by management and the Company’s auditors. These weaknesses were identified as follows:

a)  
The Company lacked sufficient accounting personnel;
   
b)  
The Company lacked effective controls to ensure that accounts payable were entered on a timely basis and were complete and accurate; and
   
c)  
The Company lacked control procedures to ensure invoices were correctly calculated and billed in accordance with their contracted amounts.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company instituted additional policies to improve its disclosure controls and procedures. These included but were not limited to the initiation of a new accounts payable software system, the hiring of additional accounting personnel to ensure accounts payable are entered in a timely and accurate manner, and the addition of control procedures to ensure that invoices are billed in accordance with the contract amounts.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter to which this report relates, there was continued improvement of internal controls in the timing and recording of payment for accounts payable amounts. This change in financial reporting has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting in future periods.

Common Stock

In June, 2007, the Company issued 5,000 shares of unregistered restricted common stock to a vendor for the purchase of a website domain name. The Company determined a value for the shares of $4,000 based on the fair market value of the stock at the time of the purchase. The Company recorded the entire amount as an asset on the balance sheet at June 30, 2007.

The Company recorded $337,465 in additional interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 in connection with these warrants.

Warrants issued by the Company during the quarter expire three, five or ten years from the date of issuance and are generally exercisable immediately upon issuance. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants are subject to anti-dilution protection in the event the Company effects a subdivision or combination of its common stock or declares or pays a dividend or distribution in common stock; the warrants also provide for adjustments in the event the Company declares or pays a dividend or other distribution in other securities or property of the Company or is a party to a reorganization, reclassification, merger or similar event and the warrant holder may exercise the warrant, without cash payment of the exercise price. 

The Company issues securities in reliance on the safe harbor and exemptions from registration provided under Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities. The offerings and sales or issuances were made to a limited number of persons, all of which were accredited or foreign investors, and transfer was restricted by the Company in accordance with the requirements of applicable law. In addition to representations by the above-referenced persons, the Company has made independent determinations that all of the investors were accredited or sophisticated investors, that they were capable of analyzing the merits and risks of their investment, and that they understood the speculative nature of their investment. Furthermore, these investors were provided with access to the Company’s SEC filings.

The Company was also in default under the $100,000 promissory note of Sandro Sordi, a director.

As consideration for his agreement to extend the maturity of the note, the Company issued to Mr. Sordi immediately exercisable warrants to purchase 452,164 shares of common stock at $.50 per share with a term of five years.

At the meeting, the holders of the Company’s Series A and B preferred stock were entitled to vote on the election of directors and the elimination of the voting rights of their respective series of preferred stock as set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Because a quorum of each of the Series A and Series B preferred stock did not exist at the meeting, no voting occurred on such proposals. As a result, the three nominees to the Board were not elected but shall remain in office until their successors are duly elected and qualified. In addition, the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was approved but without the elimination of the voting rights of the Series A and Series B preferred stock.
