EXPLANATORY NOTE

WorldGate Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No.1 on Form 10-Q/A to amend its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 14, 2009 (the “Original Filing”). The purpose of this Amendment is to amend and restate Part I, Item 1and Part I, Item 2, which set forth the accounting for the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated December 12, 2008 (“Securities Purchase Agreement”), between WGI Investor LLC (“WGI”) and the Company and for the Commercial Relationship with ACN Digital Phone Service, LLC (“ACN”).
 
On March 29, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company determined that the Company’s quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009 should no longer be relied upon.  After reviewing comments from the SEC, the issues raised in management’s discussions with the staff of the SEC, the literature cited by the SEC, and the documentation relating to certain transactions with WGI and ACN described below, the Company has determined that it should revise its original accounting for the following transactions:  (1) the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, including the issuance to WGI of an aggregate of 202,462,155 shares of the Company’s common stock and the issuance to WGI of a warrant to purchase up to approximately 140.0 million shares of Company’s common stock in certain circumstances and (2) the Master Purchase Agreement pursuant to which ACN committed to purchase from the Company 300,000 video phones over a two-year period.  Related to these transactions, the Company also reviewed, but did not revise, its original accounting for the following transactions: (a) the payment by ACN to the Company of $1,200,000 to fund certain software development costs and (b) the issuance to ACN of a warrant to purchase up to 38,219,897 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.0425 per share, which vests incrementally based on ACN’s purchases of video phones.

The Company had previously determined that the value received by WGI pursuant to the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement exceeded the fair value received by the Company by approximately $74,463,000 and the Company initially accounted for $60,000,000 of such excess in fair value as a deferred revenue incentive asset and the balance of such excess in fair value as a $14,463,000 expense.  The Company has now determined that the value received by WGI in connection with the closing of such transactions should be reflected as an equity transaction valued at approximately $7,199,000 (which is the sum of the fair value of the consideration given by WGI to the Company in exchange for the securities issued by the Company to WGI).  As a result, the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are being restated to reflect the reversal of the entries originally recorded for this excess in fair value, including (a) the reversal of an expense of approximately $14,463,000, (b) the reversal of the recording of a deferred revenue incentive asset of $60,000,000 and (c) the reversal of a credit originally recorded to the additional paid in capital account on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

In addition, the deferred revenue incentive asset of $60,000,000 would have offset $60,000,000 of future revenue from ACN pursuant to the Master Purchase Agreement.  As a result of the revision described above, there will be no deferred revenue incentive asset of $60,000,000 and therefore no offset of such amounts against future revenue from ACN pursuant to the Master Purchase Agreement.  Any future revenue from ACN pursuant to the Master Purchase Agreement will be recognized as revenue consistent with applicable general accepted accounting principles, including an offset to such revenue related to the issuance to ACN of a warrant to purchase up to 38,219,897 shares of the Company’s common stock as such warrant becomes exercisable pursuant to its terms.
 
Accordingly, changes have been made to the applicable line items associated with expense, net loss, net loss per common share, deferred revenue incentive asset, additional paid in capital and retained earnings/(accumulated deficit). The impact of the restatements will have the primary effects of (1) reducing the Company’s reported net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 from approximately $18,802,000 to approximately $4,339,000 and (2) reducing the Company’s reported assets by $60,000,000 with a corresponding reduction to the Company's stockholders’ equity.
 
Consistent with the Company’s prior analysis, the Company will continue to treat the payment by ACN to the Company of $1,200,000 to fund certain software development costs as deferred revenue which will be recognized upon completion of the development of the Company’s next generation video phone.

In addition, this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A also includes the Agreement of Lease, dated April 2, 2009, between 3190 Tremont LLC and WorldGate Service, Inc. regarding our lease of office space at 3190 Tremont Avenue, Trevose, PA 19053.
 
Except as described above, no additions or modifications have been made to this Amendment No.1 to reflect facts or events occurring subsequent to the date of the Original Filing or the Amended Filing. Information not affected by the restatement is unchanged and reflects the disclosures at the time of the Original Filing.  Therefore, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the Original Filing.

WORLDGATE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Dollars In Thousands, Except share and per Share Amounts)

1.
Basis of Presentation.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of WorldGate Communications, Inc. (“WorldGate” or the “Company”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 presented herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In addition, the December 31, 2008 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are materially consistent with those described in the audited December 31, 2008 financial statements.
 
The financial information in this Report reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods. Quarterly operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the year ending December 31, 2009.
 
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, as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are required in applying the Company’s accounting policies in many areas. Following are some of the areas requiring significant judgments and estimates: revenue recognition, inventory valuation, deferred revenues, stock-based compensation, valuation of derivative liabilities, related warrants and deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
 
2.
Restatement for Interim Period
 
The Company has restated its financial statements as of June 30, 2009 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 to reclassify the excess in fair value related to the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated December 12, 2008 (“Securities Purchase Agreement”), between WGI Investor LLC (“WGI”) and the Company, and for the Commercial Relationship with ACN Digital Phone Service, LLC (“ACN”). The Company initially determined that the value received by WGI exceeded the fair value received by the Company by approximately $74,463 and initially accounted for $60,000 of the total excess in fair value of the transaction as a deferred revenue asset and the balance of excess in fair value as a $14,463 expense.  The Company has now determined that while WGI and ACN share common ownership they are not deemed to be entities under common control as defined solely in Emerging Issue Task Force (“EITF”) No. 02-5.
 
As such, the WGI transaction should be reflected as an equity transaction valued at approximately $7,199 (which is the sum of the fair value of the consideration given by WGI to the Company in exchange for the securities issued by the Company to WGI).  As a result, the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are being restated to reflect the reversal of the entries originally recorded for this excess in fair value, including the reversal of a expense of approximately $14,463, the reversal of the recording of a deferred revenue asset of $60,000 and the reversal of a credit originally recorded to the additional paid in capital account on the Company’s balance sheet.

Accordingly, changes have been made to the applicable line items associated with expense, net loss, net loss per common share, deferred revenue incentive asset, additional paid in capital and retained earnings. The deferred revenue incentive asset would have offset $60,000 of future revenue from ACN pursuant to the Master Purchase Agreement.  As a result of this restatement, there will be no deferred revenue asset of $60,000,000 and therefore no offset of such amounts against future revenue from ACN pursuant to the Master Purchase Agreement.  Any future revenue from ACN pursuant to the Master Purchase Agreement will be recognized as revenue consistent with applicable general accepted accounting principles, including an offset to such revenue related to the issuance to ACN of a warrant to purchase up to 38,219,897 shares of the Company’s common stock as such warrant becomes exercisable pursuant to its terms.

Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations.
 
Cash and Cash Flow. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,209. The Company’s cash used in operations was $529 and $1,391, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. The $2,650 of aggregate funds the Company received as a result of (a) the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated December 12, 2008 (“ Securities Purchase Agreement”), between WGI Investor LLC (“WGI”) and the Company and (b) the Commercial Relationship with ACN Digital Phone Service, LLC (“ACN”) described below, including $1,200 of payments received for development efforts, and the net proceeds from the exercise of certain warrants totaling $881 contributed to the generation of funds during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and have provided financing for the on-going operations of the Company.
 
Liabilities. The Company had $6,477 of liabilities and none of its assets are pledged as collateral as of June 30, 2009. These liabilities include $2,968 of accounts payable and accrued expenses, $690 of accrued severance, $2,201 of deferred revenues and income, and $413 of detachable warrants related to the Company’s private placement of preferred stock in June 2004.
 
Short Term Cash Requirements. At June 30, 2009, the Company’s short term cash requirements and obligations include payment for finished, excess and obsolete inventory, accounts payable from continuing operations and operating expenses. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s convertible debt and the interest related to this convertible debt was converted to equity pursuant to the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement.
 
Net Losses and Impact on Operations. The Company has incurred recurring net losses and has an accumulated deficit of $271,483, stockholders’ deficiency of $2,150 and a working capital deficit of $3,019 as of June 30, 2009. During 2007 the Company experienced severe cash shortfalls, deferred payment of some of its operating expenses, and elected to shut down its operations for a period of time during the first quarter of 2008. Further curtailments of its operations may be necessary in the future. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as of June 30, 2009. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Aequus. In October 2008, Aequus Technologies Corp. (“Aequus”) failed to pay to WorldGate $953 owed to WorldGate for the purchase of video phones, and as a result the Company terminated its reseller agreement with Aequus. The Company has most of the units sold to Aequus in its possession and will attempt to sell the units elsewhere to recover the $953 while continuing to resolve its dispute with Aequus. There can be no assurance that WorldGate will be able to sell the units and recover the $953 owed by Aequus. The Company continues to believe that the Video Relay Services and Video Remote Interpreting markets provide an attractive opportunity for the sale of video phones and has initiated shipments of video phones with other Video Relay Services / Video Remote Interpreting service providers.
 
On January 27, 2009, the Company resolved the outstanding NRE Arbitration with Aequus, and in full satisfaction of the outstanding arbitration claim Aequus agreed to terminate any obligation on the Company’s part to provide certain prepaid engineering services pursuant to the March 31, 2008 Agreement with Aequus (Aequus had prepaid approximately $900 for these engineering services of which $725 was allocated to the settlement).

Vendor Payable. On January 28, 2009, in exchange for a vendor’s agreement to reduce an outstanding obligation to the vendor, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $30, to this vendor. $20 of this note was paid on April 1, 2009 and $10 of the note was paid on July 15, 2009.
 
Advance of Purchase Price by WGI Investor. On February 4, 2009 and March 24, 2009, the Company, in exchange for cash received, issued promissory notes for $550 and $200 respectively to WGI. Both notes were an advance of the cash consideration payable by WGI at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement. The notes had a maturity date of May 1, 2009 and had interest payable at six percent per annum. On April 6, 2009, upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, the two notes were cancelled pursuant to their terms.
 
WGI and ACN Transactions.  On April 6, 2009, the Company completed a private placement of securities to WGI pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement.  In connection with the transaction, the Company issued to WGI an aggregate of 202,462,155 shares of its common stock, par value of $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) , representing approximately 63% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, as well as a warrant to purchase up to approximately 140.0 million shares of Common Stock in certain circumstances (the “Anti-Dilution Warrant”) in exchange for (i) cash consideration of $1,450 (of which $750 had been previously advanced to the Company by WGI), (ii) the cancellation of convertible debentures held by WGI under which approximately $5,100 in principal and accrued interest was outstanding and (iii) the cancellation of certain outstanding warrants held by WGI.  In December 2008, WGI had acquired from YA Global Investments, L.P. (“YA Global”) the convertible debentures that the Company had previously issued to YA Global and the outstanding warrants to purchase Common Stock then held by YA Global.  The Company expects to use the proceeds from the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement primarily for working capital purposes. 

The Anti-Dilution Warrant entitles WGI to purchase up to 140.0 million shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share to the extent the Company issues any capital stock upon the exercise or conversion of (i) any warrants, options and other purchase rights that were outstanding as of April 6, 2009 (“Existing Contingent Equity”), (ii) up to 19.7 million shares underlying future options, warrants or other purchase rights issued by the Company after April 6, 2009 (“Future Contingent Equity”), or (iii) the ACN Warrant described below.  The Anti-Dilution Warrant is designed to ensure that WGI may maintain 63% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock in the event that any of the Company’s capital stock is issued in respect to the Existing Contingent Equity, the Future Contingent Equity or the ACN Warrant as defined below.  The term of the Anti-Dilution Warrant is ten years from the date of issuance, and the shares subject to the Anti-Dilution Warrant will be decreased proportionally upon the expiration of Existing Contingent Equity, Future Contingent Equity and the ACN Warrant.  WGI is a private investment fund whose ownership includes owners of ACN Inc., a direct seller of telecommunications services and a distributor of video phones. ACN, Inc. is the parent company of ACN Digital Phone Service LLC.  Concurrently with the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a commercial relationship with ACN pursuant to which the Company will design and sell video phones to ACN (the “Commercial Relationship”).  As part of the Commercial Relationship, the Company entered into two agreements, a Master Purchase Agreement pursuant to which ACN has committed to purchase three hundred thousand videophones over a two-year period and a Software Development and Integration and Manufacturing Assistance Agreement pursuant to which ACN has committed to provide the Company with $1,200 to fund certain software development costs.   During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company received the $1,200 for software development costs from ACN.  In connection with the Commercial Relationship, the Company granted ACN a warrant to purchase up to approximately 38.2 million shares of its Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0425 per share (the “ACN Warrant”).  The ACN Warrant will vest incrementally based on ACN’s purchases of video phones under the Commercial Relationship.

Exercise of Warrants. On June 23, 2009, the Company amended the exercise price and other provisions of certain Series A Warrants to Purchase Common Stock of WorldGate Communications, Inc. issued June 23, 2004 and certain Series B Warrants to Purchase Common Stock of WorldGate Communications, Inc. issued June 23, 2004 (collectively, the “2004 Warrants”), representing rights to purchase, in the aggregate, 8,771,955 shares of Common Stock and that would have expired on June 23, 2009. The exercise price of the 2004 Warrants was amended to $0.25 per share of Common Stock and the expiration date of the 2004 Warrants was amended to August 7, 2009.

On June 23, 2009, the Company also amended the exercise price and other provisions of certain Warrants to Purchase Common Stock of WorldGate Communications, Inc. issued August 3, 2005 (collectively, the “2005 Warrants”), representing rights to purchase, in the aggregate, 513,333 shares of Common Stock and that expire on August 3, 2010. The exercise price of the 2005 Warrants was amended to $0.25 per share of Common Stock.
 
As of June 30, 2009, 3,166,667 of the 2004 Warrants and all of the 2005 Warrants were exercised, resulting in the Company issuing 3,680,000 shares of Common Stock and in return the Company received $920 in gross aggregate cash proceeds ($881 net proceeds). After June 30, 2009 and through August 7, 2009, additional 2004 Warrants were exercised (including a significant number of 2004 Warrants held by an affiliate of Antonio Tomasello) resulting in the Company issuing 5,525,288 shares of Common Stock and in return the Company received $1,401 in cash proceeds. The Company incurred $39 of fees pursuant to the transfer of the 2004 Warrants and 2005 Warrants from the original warrant holders that were not interested in exercising the warrants to new warrant holders. As of August 7, 2009, all 2004 Warrants had either expired or been exercised. As of August 7, 2009, 879,359 of the warrants issued August 3, 2005 remain outstanding.
 
WGI Warrant. Upon closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to WGI a warrant to purchase up to 140.0 million shares of Common Stock (the “Anti-Dilution Warrant”), at an exercise price of $0.01 per share under certain circumstances, including if the Company issues any capital stock upon the exercise or conversion of any warrants that were outstanding as of April 6, 2009 (“Existing Contingent Equity”). As of June 30, 2009, the 3,680,000 shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the exercise of the 2004 Warrants and 2005 Warrants resulted in WGI having the right to purchase an aggregate of 6,265,946 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share under the Anti-Dilution Warrant. After June 30, 2009 and through August 7, 2009, the additional 5,525,288 shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the exercise of the 2004 Warrants and 2005 Warrants resulted in WGI having the right to purchase in aggregate 9,544,138 of additional shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share under the Anti-Dilution Warrant.
 
Employment Agreements. In connection with the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into employment agreements with members of senior management, including Hal Krisbergh, Randall Gort, Joel Boyarski and James McLoughlin. The employment agreements entered into with the Company’s executive officers have a term of one year (unless terminated earlier by either party) and provide for the execution by the employee of a non-compete and confidentiality agreement with the Company. The employment agreements set an annual base salary of $336 for Mr. Krisbergh, $200 for Mr. Gort, $195 for Mr. Boyarski and $190 for Mr. McLoughlin. The agreements also provide for the payment of quarterly bonuses during the period of employment, based on individual performance objectives to be set by the Company’s compensation committee, with 100% of the target quarterly bonus amounts guaranteed for Q2 2009 and 50% guaranteed for Q3 2009, with the remaining amounts for Q3 and Q4 2009 earned to the extent that the individual performance objectives have been met. The employment agreements also contemplate a future grant of options under a new stock incentive plan, as and when such plan is adopted by the board of directors, in the following anticipated amounts: Hal Krisbergh: 1,080,000 shares; Randall Gort: 1,080,000 shares; Joel Boyarski: 900,000 shares; and James McLoughlin: 900,000 shares. While the employment arrangements under these agreements are “at-will,” the agreements provide that in the event the employee is terminated by the Company without cause, upon the execution by the employee of a general release in a form acceptable to the Company, the employee will be entitled to certain continued health benefits as well as severance in the amount equal to the greater of (i) the employee’s monthly base salary amount, plus any cash bonus amounts (including guaranteed amounts earned or accrued through the termination date), multiplied by the number of months remaining in the term or (ii) the employee’s monthly base salary amount, plus any cash bonus amounts (including guaranteed amounts earned or accrued through the termination date), multiplied by six.
 
Departure of Officers. On April 9, 2009, Harold M. Krisbergh tendered his resignation as Chief Executive Officer and as a director of the Company and Randall J. Gort tendered his resignation as Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary of the Company. On May 15, 2009 James McLoughlin tendered his resignation as Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing. In connection with their respective resignations, the Company entered into severance agreements with each of Messrs. Krisbergh, Gort, and McLoughlin pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide them with certain severance benefits, including continuation of their salary through April 6, 2010, payment of accrued bonus amounts, continuation of certain health benefits for the severance period, and an extension of the period during which vested options may be exercised. These severance agreements provide a general release in favor of the Company and its affiliates.

Increase in Officer’s Compensation. As of June 30, 2009, the Company increased its annual compensation obligations for officers and senior executives of the Company by $605 as a result of hiring additional members of senior management and the termination and severance payments of Messrs. Krisbergh, Gort, and McLoughlin described above. In August 2009, the Company added an additional officer increasing the annual compensation by $220. The severance compensation for Messrs. Krisbergh, Gort, and McLoughlin will cease on April 7, 2010. As of June 30, 2009, the Company accrued $626 in officer’s compensation and severance.
 
Mototech Agreement. On July 8, 2009, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Mototech, Inc. (“Mototech”) to settle all past due obligations owed by the Company to Mototech. Mototech had performed various services for the Company, including manufacturing and engineering development, through various historical transactions, which resulted in a claim by Mototech for approximately $1,400 in unpaid fees and expenses from the Company. Pursuant to the letter agreement,
 
 
·
all obligations of the Company to Mototech were terminated and the Company was released from all liabilities or obligations to Mototech, including all amounts due or owing to Mototech;
 
 
·
the Company agreed to pay $600 in cash to Mototech pursuant to the following payment schedule: (a) $50 was paid on July 20, 2009; (b) $100 to be paid on or prior to August 30, 2009; (c) $150 to be paid on or prior to September 30, 2009; and (d) $300 to be paid on or prior to October 30, 2009;
 
 
·
the Company issued to Mototech 3,200,000 unregistered shares of Common Stock, subject to the following conditions: (a) no such shares can be sold prior to the date that is 9 months after the issuance of such shares and (b) when such shares are permitted to be sold, no more than 25,000 of such shares may be sold in any single day; and
 
 
·
the Company issued to Mototech an unregistered warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Mototech Warrant”) with the following terms: (a) exercise price of $0.35 per share; (b) immediate vesting of the entire warrant; and (c) expiration date of the earlier of (i) July 8, 2014, (ii) a change of control of the Company or (iii) the twentieth (20th) day following the Company’s delivery of notice to Mototech of the occurrence of a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days during which the quoted bid price of the Common Stock has been greater than a price equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the exercise price of the warrant.
 
As a result of the Mototech transaction the Company reduced its accounts payable by $1,439, recorded accrued expenses of $600 for the cash to be paid and increased stockholder equity by $839 for the common stock and warrants issued.
 
 Future Cash Flows and Financings. The Company’s ability to generate cash is dependent upon the sale of its products and services and on obtaining cash through the private or public issuance of debt or equity securities. Given that the Company’s video phone business involves the development of a new product line with no market penetration in an underdeveloped market sector, no assurances can be given that sufficient sales, if any, will materialize. The lack of success of the Company’s sales efforts could also have an adverse ability to raise additional financing.
 
Based on management’s internal forecasts and assumptions regarding its short term cash requirements, the Company currently believes that it will have sufficient cash on hand to meet its obligations into the fourth quarter of 2009. However, there can be no assurance given that these assumptions are correct or that the revenue projections associated with product sales and services to ACN will materialize to a level that will provide the Company with sufficient capital to operate its business.
 
The Company continues to evaluate possibilities to obtain additional financing through public or private equity or debt offerings or from other sources. In addition, the Company plans to explore additional service and distribution sales opportunities. There can be no assurance given, however, that the Company’s efforts will be successful or that any additional financing will be available and can be consummated on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. There can also be no assurance given that any additional sales can be achieved through additional service and distribution opportunities. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient funds, the Company may be required to reduce the size of the organization or suspend operations which could have a material adverse impact on its business prospects.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
 
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 141R, “Business Combinations,” which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for determining how an enterprise recognizes and measures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, including noncontrolling interests, contingent considerations, and certain acquired contingencies. SFAS No. 141R also requires acquisition-related transaction expenses and restructuring costs to be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as a component of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is applicable prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 141R will have an impact on accounting for businesses acquired after the effective date of this pronouncement.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—An Amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary (previously referred to as minority interests). SFAS 160 also requires that a retained noncontrolling interest upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at its fair value. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 160, the Company will be required to report any noncontrolling interests as a separate component of consolidated stockholders’ equity. The Company will also be required to present any net income allocable to noncontrolling interest and net income attributable to the stockholders of the Company separately in its consolidated statements of operations. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The implementation of SFAS No. 160 would require retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests, with all other requirements of SFAS No. 160 to be applied prospectively. As the Company does not have noncontrolling interests in any subsidiary, the adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have any impact upon the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,” which amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 to require qualitative disclosure about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. This statement is effective beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have a material impact upon the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. EITF 07-5 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early application is not permitted. Upon adoption of EITF 07-5 on January 1, 2009, the Company has determined that certain warrants issued on August 11, 2006 and October 13, 2006 were not equity-linked financial instruments, and accordingly, were derivative instruments. The Company has recorded the fair value of these instruments and the resulting cumulative effect of this change in accounting method, as of January 1, 2009 (See Note 7).
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 provides guidance on estimating fair value when market activity has decreased and on identifying transactions that are not orderly. Additionally, entities are required to disclose in interim and annual periods the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 165 prospectively to both interim and annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS No. 167”). SFAS No. 167 is intended to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to address (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities , as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in SFAS No. 166, and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS No. 167 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The adoption of SFAS No. 167 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities, except for the rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 168 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

5.
Inventory.
 
The Company’s inventory consists primarily of finished goods equipment to be sold to customers. The cost is determined on a first-in, first-out cost basis. A periodic review of inventory quantities on hand is performed in order to determine and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventories. Factors related to current inventories such as technological obsolescence and market conditions were considered in determining estimated net realizable values. A provision is recorded to reduce the cost of inventories to the estimated net realizable values. To motivate trials and sales of the Ojo, which is the Company’s main product, the Company has historically subsidized, and may in the future continue to subsidize, certain of its product sales to customers that result in sales of inventory below cost. Any significant unanticipated changes in the factors noted above could have an impact on the value of the Company’s inventory and its reported operating results. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company’s inventory balance was $1,048 and $1,176, respectively (net of a reserve of $600 and $0, respectively for excess and obsolete inventory that is not expected to be utilized in the continued development of the video phone). Under an agreement with Aequus dated March 31, 2008, Aequus purchased $1,153 of units which were agreed to be held by the Company until shipped to Aequus customers. Included in the inventory balance reported on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2009 are remaining Aequus units not yet shipped to Aequus customers totaling $765.
 
6.
Stock Based Compensation.
 
The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). SFAS No. 123(R) requires that all stock based compensation be recognized as an expense in the financial statements, and that such cost be measured at the fair value of the award. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires that excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises be reflected as financing cash inflows instead of operating inflows. As a result, the Company’s net loss before taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 included approximately $226 and $290, respectively, of stock based compensation. The three and six months ended June 30, 2008 included approximately $126 and $251, respectively, of stock based compensation. The stock based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
 
Consistent with the requirements of SFAS 123(R), the Company has selected a “with-and-without” approach regarding the accounting for the tax effects of share-based compensation awards. This approach is consistent with intraperiod allocation guidance in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and EITF Topic D-32, “Intraperiod Tax Allocation of the Tax Effect of Pretax Income from Continuing Operations.”
 
On May 26, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the terms of Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Amendment, among other things, increased the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or transferred under the Plan to 26,500,000 and increased the maximum amount of shares that may be issued in any fiscal year to any single participant in the Plan underlying an option award to 2,000,000 shares. The Board determined that it was advisable and in the best interests of the Company to increase the maximum number of shares available under the Plan so as to enable the Company to be able to provide meaningful equity incentives to eligible participants in light of the significant increase (from 118,906,345 on March 16, 2009 to 321,368,500 on May 5, 2009) in the number of shares of Common Stock that are now outstanding as a result of the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement.
 
Upon the approval of the Amendment, pursuant to authority delegated to them, the members of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board who are “outside directors” as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.162-27(e)(3) and “non-employee directors” as defined in Rule 16(b)-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, approved grants of non-qualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of 13,261,500 shares of Common Stock to certain employees and consultants of the Company. Each such option has an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock as of the date of the grants (which was $0.28 and $0.32, respectively, per share based on the closing price on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board on May 26, 2009 and June 30, 2009), vests in four equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant and has a ten year term. These options had a weighted average grant date fair value of $0.28 per share determined using the Black Scholes fair value option model.

Options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2009 vest over four years and expire ten years from the date of grant under the Plan. The weighted-average exercise price of the options granted was $0.28. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes fair value option valuation model. The weighted-average assumptions used for these grants were: expected volatility of 194%; average risk-free interest rates of 2.40%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected life of 6.25 years.

An aggregate of 1,151,000 restricted shares were granted on October 3, 2007 and December 20, 2007 to certain senior executives that vest upon the achievement of certain performance criteria:
 
 
·
10% of the shares vest upon achieving each of a 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% increase for the Company in total gross revenue in a quarter over its third quarter 2007 total gross revenue of $1,532 as shown on its statement of operations as reported in the SEC filings;
 
 
·
25% of the shares vest upon the Company achieving (1) a quarterly operating cash break-even (defined as zero or positive “net cash provided by operations” consistent with or as reported on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and (2) a 10% net income as a percent of revenue.
 
During 2008, 318,000 of these restricted shares were forfeited, leaving a balance of outstanding restricted shares of 833,000 at December 31, 2008 with an aggregate fair value of $198 on their dates of grant of October 3, 2007 and December 20, 2007. The criteria for these restricted shares were amended to clarify that the criteria is intended to refer to transactions and revenue, operating cash flow and income generated in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, and not to extraordinary transactions. During the three month period ended June 30, 2009, 525,000 additional restricted shares were forfeited by executives whose employment with the Company ended. As of June 30, 2009, it was determined that it was more likely than not that the remaining 308,000 outstanding restricted shares, with a fair value of $83, would vest. As such, the Company began amortizing the fair value of these shares over the expected period that they will vest and recorded compensation expense of $9 for these grants.

Accounting for Secured Convertible Debentures and Related Warrants.
 
As discussed in Note 3, the Company completed a transaction with WGI on April 6, 2009 in which the convertible debentures described below were cancelled.
 
General Terms of Convertible Debentures. On August 11, 2006 and October 13, 2006, the Company completed a private placement with an institutional investor of convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $11,000. The Company received $6,000 ($5,615, net of transaction costs) upon the closing of the transaction on August 11, 2006 (the “First Tranche”) and the remaining $5,000 ($4,700, net of transaction costs) was received on October 13, 2006 (the “Second Tranche”). The convertible debentures had a maturity of three years, an interest rate of 6% per annum, and were convertible at the option of the investors into Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $1.75 per share or 90% of the average of the five lowest daily volume weighted closing price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock during the fifteen trading days immediately preceding the conversion date (subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, splits and certain distributions to stockholders, fundamental transactions, and future dilutive equity transactions). Interest is payable at maturity, and the Company may elect to pay the interest amount in cash or shares of its Common Stock. The Company also granted the holder of convertible debentures a security interest in substantially all of its assets. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the convertible debentures would have been entitled to receive the principal amount of the convertible debentures, together with accrued and unpaid interest, prior to any payment to the holders of the Company’s common and preferred stock.
 
Amendment To Convertible Debentures. On May 18, 2007, the Company and the holder amended the terms of the convertible debentures to remove the investor’s ability, upon conversion of the debenture, to demand cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock and to clarify that the Company may issue restricted shares if there is no effective registration statement at the time of conversion. This amendment of the terms of the convertible debenture resulted in the Company reclassifying the derivative conversion option liability embedded in the convertible debentures from debt to equity.
 
Restrictions on Convertible Debentures. The holder could not make any conversions below $1.75 per share (i) which would exceed $500 in principal amount in any calendar month or (ii) which would result in the issuance of more than 840,000 shares of Common Stock per calendar month (provided that this maximum share limit will be waived by the Company unless it elects to pay the holder in cash the difference in value between 840,000 shares and the number of shares the holder wishes to convert, up to the $500 per month conversion limit). If the Company was in default under the convertible debentures, these limitations would be waived. The holder was also not restricted in making conversions at $1.75 per share.
 
In no case, however, may the holder convert the convertible debentures if it would result in beneficial ownership by the holder of more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (though this provision can be waived by the holder upon 65 days prior notice).
 
In addition, with respect to all of the convertible debentures, the aggregate number of shares to be issued upon conversion, exercise of the warrants (described below), payment for commitment shares (described below), and payment of liquidated damages (described below) has been limited to 61,111,111 shares of Common Stock. In December 2008, the share limitation of the aggregate number of shares to be issued was increased to 75,368,811 shares of Common Stock.
 
Accounting for Convertible Debentures. The Company initially accounted for conversion options embedded in the convertible debentures in accordance with SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) and EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”) SFAS 133 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible debentures from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with EITF 00-19. EITF 00-19 states that if the conversion option requires net cash settlement in the event of circumstances that are not solely within the Company’s control that they should be classified as a liability measured at fair value on the balance sheet.

 
15

 
 
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of EITF Issue No. 06-7, “Issuer’s Accounting for a Previously Bifurcated Conversion Option in a Convertible Debt Instrument When the Conversion Option No Longer Meets the Bifurcation Criteria in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“EITF 06-7”). Under EITF 06-7, at the time of issuance, an embedded conversion option in a convertible debt instrument may be required to be bifurcated from the debt instrument and accounted for separately by the issuer as a derivative under SFAS 133, based on the application of EITF 00-19. Subsequent to the issuance of the convertible debt, facts may change and cause the embedded conversion option to no longer meet the conditions for separate accounting as a derivative instrument, such as when the bifurcated instrument meets the conditions of Issue 00-19 to be classified in stockholders’ equity. Under EITF 06-7, when an embedded conversion option previously accounted for as a derivative under SFAS 133 no longer meets the bifurcation criteria under that standard, an issuer shall disclose a description of the principal changes causing the embedded conversion option to no longer require bifurcation under SFAS 133 and the amount of the liability for the conversion option reclassified to stockholders’ equity.
 
Prior to the May 18, 2007 amendment of the convertible debenture, subject to the share limitation, as discussed above, the actual number of shares of Common Stock that would be required if a conversion of the convertible debentures was made through the issuance of Common Stock could not be predicted. If the Company’s requirements to issue shares under these convertible debentures had exceeded the share limitation, or if it was not listed or quoted for trading on the OTCBB, the Company could have been required to settle the conversion of the convertible debentures with cash instead of its Common Stock.
 
Through May 18, 2007, the Company accounted for the conversion options using the fair value method at the end of each quarter, with the resultant gain or loss recognition recorded against earnings. On May 18, 2007 the Company and the investor amended the terms of the secured convertible debentures to remove the investor’s ability, upon conversion of the debentures, to demand cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock and to clarify that the Company may issue restricted shares if there is no effective registration statement at the time of conversion. This amendment of the terms of the convertible debentures permitted the Company to reclassify $5,384 of the embedded derivative conversion option liability to stockholders’ equity. The discount on the convertible debentures of $5,240 was based on amortization until October 2009.
 
 At the closing of the First Tranche, the sum of the fair values of the conversion feature and the warrants was $5,714 in the aggregate, which exceeded the net proceeds of $5,615. The difference of $99 was charged to the provision for fair value adjustment, upon issuance during the third quarter of 2006. Accordingly, the Company recorded a discount equal to the face value of the convertible debentures, which will be amortized using the effective interest rate method over the three year term. The Common Stock issued as fees in the transaction was recorded at a net value of $0, as there was no residual value remaining.
 
At October 13, 2006, in connection with the closing of the Second Tranche, the convertible feature of the convertible debentures was recorded as a derivative liability of $3,449 and the warrants were recorded as additional paid in capital of $230. For the Second Tranche issuance on October 13, 2006, the Company recorded a discount of $3,979, which is being amortized using the effective interest method over the three year term.
 
From January 1, 2009 through closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement when the debentures were cancelled, there were no conversions of the debentures. As a result during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 there were no issuances of Common Stock related to the debentures. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, $646 and $647, respectively in face value of the convertible debentures was converted, resulting in the issuance of 6,116,010 and 6,116,581 shares of Common Stock, respectively. As a result of the amortization and conversion, $2,235 and $2,918, respectively, of the discount on the convertible debenture has been charged to discount amortization for three and six months ended June 30, 2009, which includes the effects of the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, $707 and $926, respectively, of the discount on the convertible debenture has been charged to discount amortization. As of June 30, 2009, there was no debt or interest outstanding as a result of the cancellation of the convertible debenture and interest as part of the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Adoption of EITF 07-5. On January 1, 2009, in connection with the adoption of EITF 07-5, the Company determined that warrants issued on August 11, 2006 and October 13, 2006 were not indexed to the Company’s own stock, as defined. Accordingly, the Company determined that these warrants were derivative instruments, and on January 1, 2009, recorded derivative liabilities of $479 and $406 for each of the August 11, 2006 and October 13, 2006 warrants, respectively. At January 1, 2009, the Company determined the fair value of the warrant derivative liability using the Black-Scholes valuation model, applying the actual Common Stock price on January 1, 2009 ($0.38), applicable volatility rate (242%), and the period close risk-free interest rate (0.27%) for the instruments’ remaining contractual lives of 2.61 years for the August 2006 tranche and 2.78 years for the October 2006 tranche. In connection with recording the warrant derivative liabilities, the Company determined the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as if they were recorded at inception, and increased the debt discount related to the October 13, 2006 tranche by $584, reduced additional paid in capital by $1,752 for the previously recorded equity value of the warrants and decreased accumulated deficit by $1,449 for inception to adoption date mark to market and discount amortization adjustments.
 
The following warrants were issued under the August 2006 tranche and the October 2006 tranche and were cancelled as part of the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement:

Accounting for Derivative Instruments.
 
The Company accounts for certain warrants, including the warrants issued as part of the June 2004 private placement of preferred stock and the warrants issued as part of the August and October 2006 private placement of convertible debentures, as a derivative liability using the fair value method at the end of each quarter, with the resultant gain or loss recognition recorded against earnings. The August and October 2006 warrants were cancelled as part of the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement (See Note 3). The Company recognized a total non-cash gain of $284 and $4,209, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and a non-cash expense of $1,674 and $1,807, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, for these derivative warrants, based on the following criteria, each of which impact on the fair value of the derivative, using the Black-Scholes valuation model:

Accounting for the WGI / ACN transaction

The Company accounts for stock and warrants issued to third parties, including customers, in accordance with the provisions of the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF “) 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services,” and EITF 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products)” (“EITF 01-9”).
 
On April 6, 2009, the Company completed a private placement of securities to WGI pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement.  In connection with the transaction, the Company was issued the following elements of value: (i) cash consideration of $1,450, (ii) the cancellation of convertible debentures held by WGI under which $4,080 in principal and $1,046 in accrued interest was cancelled and (iii) the cancellation of certain outstanding warrants held by WGI with a fair value of $623.  
 
The total fair value of these elements received by the Company was determined by the Company to be approximately $7,199.  In connection with the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, WGI received (i) 202,462,155 shares of Common Stock and (ii) a ten year Anti-Dilution Warrant, with an exercise price of $0.01, to purchase up to approximately 140.0 million shares of Common Stock in certain circumstances.  The Company determined that the most relevant and clearly determinable fair value of the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement is equivalent to the consideration given by WGI to the Company rather than the fair value of the 202,462,155 shares of Common Stock and Anti-Dilution Warrant issued to WGI in such transactions based principally upon the closing stock price.
 
In addition, in connection with the Commercial Relationship entered into with ACN on April 6, 2009, the Company granted ACN the ACN Warrant. The ACN Warrant will vest incrementally based on ACN’s purchases of videophones under the Commercial Relationship. Under the provisions of EITF 96-18, the Company will record a charge for the fair value of the portion of the warrant earned from the point in time when shipments of units are initiated to ACN through the vesting date. Final determination of fair value of the warrant occurs upon actual vesting. EITF 01-9 requires that the fair value of the warrant be recorded as a reduction of revenue to the extent of cumulative revenue recorded from that customer.
 
10.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
 
SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 applies to all assets and liabilities that are measured and reported on a fair value basis.

SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair
value as follows:

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 – Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company does not have any liabilities categorized as Level 1or Level 2 as of June 30, 2009. The Company had Level 3 derivative liabilities valued at $413 as of June 30, 2009.

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the Company’s derivative liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the six months ended

Commitments and Contingencies.
 
The Company’s prior five year lease was signed on September 1, 2005 and covered 42,500 square feet at an annual rate of $11.40 per square foot with a 3% increase annually, cancelable by either party with eight months notice, with a termination by tenant which included a six month termination fee. In March 2009, the parties agreed in principle to a new lease effective retroactive to April 1, 2008 (and the cancellation of the current lease with no termination cost) for a smaller space within the current facility consisting of approximately 17,000 square feet at an annual fee of $7 per square foot. The Company relocated into this smaller space in April 2008. This new lease was executed in April 2009 and is cancelable by either party upon 90 days notice with no termination costs. Total rent expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 amounted to approximately $46 and $88, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 amounted to approximately $43 and $164, respectively.
 
In December 2008, the Company entered into a 60 month lease for office equipment. As of June 30, 2009, there remains an aggregate of $39 to be paid over the remaining period of the terms of the leases.
 
The future minimum contractual rental commitments under non-cancelable leases for each of the fiscal years ending December 31 are as follows:

Net Loss per Share (Basic and Diluted).
 
The Company displays earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS includes under the “if converted method” of SFAS No. 128 the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common Stock. Outstanding stock options, warrants and other potential stock issuances are not included in the computation when they are not in the money and their effect would be anti-dilutive. The following table presents the shares used in the computation of fully diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

* The Company had net losses during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and as such the basic and fully diluted earnings per share calculations use the same share amounts in determining the earning per share value (adding the fully dilutive shares to the denominator would be antidilutive to the calculations).

Potential common shares excluded from net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, were 200,705,382 and 71,477,947 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Potential common shares comprise shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options, unvested restricted stock and warrants, and upon the conversion of convertible debentures irrespective of whether such securities are in the money.

Revenue Recognition.
 
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the collectibility is reasonably assured, and the delivery and acceptance of the equipment has occurred or services have been rendered. Management exercises judgment in evaluating these factors in light of the terms and conditions of its customer contracts and other existing facts and circumstances to determine appropriate revenue recognition. Due to the Company’s limited commercial sales history, its ability to evaluate the collectibility of customer accounts requires significant judgment. The Company continually evaluates accounts of its equipment customers and service customers for collectibility at the date of sale and on an ongoing basis.
 
 Revenues are also offset by a reserve for any price refunds and consumer rebates consistent with the EITF Issue 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer.”
 
Video Phone Sales. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company did not ship any product to customers with a right of return. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company shipped approximately 0 and 9 units, respectively, with a sales value of $0 and $2, respectively, to customers with a right of return. These customers may exercise their right of return only if they do not sell the units to their respective customers. Revenue and cost for these units were deferred in accordance with SFAS 48 “Revenue Recognition when a Right of Return Exists.”
 
Aequus Revenue. From June 2007 through March 2008 the Company shipped its video phone product to Aequus. As part of its June 2007 agreement with Aequus, the Company began to recognize product revenue at the time of shipment of its video phone. In addition, the Company also began to receive service fee revenues based on a percentage of the fees earned by Aequus and for which the customer has received service. The Company recognizes this service fee revenue upon confirmation from Aequus of the fees they have earned. The Company also receives service fee revenues from end consumers which are recognized after the services have been performed.
 
On March 31, 2008, the Company entered into a new agreement with Aequus and Snap Telecommunications Inc. (“Snap!VRS”). This new agreement provides for the (i) resolution of a dispute with Aequus regarding amounts the Company claimed were owed to the Company by Aequus and the termination by the Company of video phone service to Aequus, (ii) payment to the Company by Aequus of approximately $5,000 in scheduled payments over ten months commencing March 31, 2008, (iii) agreement to arbitrate approximately $1,354 claimed by the Company to be owed by Aequus and (iv) purchase of an additional $1,475 of video phones by Aequus.

 
21

 
 
 
·
$5,000 of Payments to the Company. The $5,000 of payments in the agreement are related to multiple deliverables to Aequus that have standalone value with objective and reliable evidence of fair value, and include the following: (i) a specified amount of non recurring engineering (“NRE”, with a fair value of $900), (ii) support and transition training to Aequus to operate its own data center (“Training,” with an estimated fair value of $358), (iii) continued use of the WorldGate video phone service center during the transition (with an estimated fair value of $230), and (iv) the elimination of previously agreed service fees (“contract termination fee”, with a residual fair value of $3,512). These deliverables are all separate units of accounting in accordance with EITF No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.”
 
The Company recognized revenue for the NRE and training and support as the service was provided. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 such revenue was $0 and $796, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, revenue of $279 was recognized for NRE and training and support. The revenue of $796 in the quarter ended June 30, 2009 includes $725 related to the settlement of the dispute with Aequus wherein the settlement eliminated $725 of the Company’s $900 obligation to provide NRE to Aequus and was credited to NRE services provided under a previous agreement with Aequus. The Training was expected to be performed over approximately 7 months. Revenue from the use of the video phone service center was recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected period of use, which was approximately 7 months. Since collectibility was not reasonably assured, the contract termination fee was recognized as other income on a straight line basis over the ten months that the $5,000 was paid. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, other income was recorded for the contract termination fee of $0 and $1,056, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, other income was recorded for the contract termination fee of $348 and $1,056, respectively. The Company had received payment of $1,475 toward the purchase of video phone units and all of the $5,000 agreed payments in 2008 and the first quarter of 2009.
 
 
·
Arbitration. On January 27, 2009, the Company resolved the outstanding arbitration with Aequus, and in full satisfaction of the outstanding arbitration claim Aequus agreed to terminate any obligation on the part of the Company to provide certain prepaid engineering services pursuant to the March 31, 2008 Agreement with Aequus (Aequus had prepaid approximately $900 for these engineering services of which $725 was allocated to the settlement which is recorded as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2009).
 
 
·
Purchase of Units. Units purchased per the March 31, 2008 agreement with Aequus are initially held by the Company pending shipment to Aequus customers. Revenue for these units held by the Company pending shipment to the ultimate customer is deferred, per the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13A(3)(a) (Bill and Hold Arrangements). Revenue for the units held is recognized as and when the units are shipped to the Aequus customers. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company shipped $0 and $790, respectively, to Aequus customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company shipped $0 and $790, respectively, to Aequus customers.
 
ACN Revenues. On April 6, 2009, the Company entered into a Software Development and Integration and Manufacturing Assistance Agreement pursuant to which ACN has committed to provide the Company with $1,200 to fund certain software development costs. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009 the Company received the $1,200 from ACN. The Company recorded these funds as deferred revenue as of June 30, 2009, pursuant to the Software Development and Integration and Manufacturing Assistance Agreement’s terms which partially compensates the Company for its development of a video phone and licensing thereof. The Company will recognize revenue from this funding upon completion of the development in accordance with SOP 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts.”
 
16.
Risks and uncertainties.
 
The Company depends on relationships with third parties such as contract manufacturing companies, chip design companies and others who may be sole source providers of key components and services critical for the product the Company is developing in its video phone business. The components and raw materials used in the Company’s Ojo video phone product, as well as the vendors providing the parts necessary for the Ojo, are constantly changing which may continue to result in the discontinuation and/or the unavailability of certain parts possibly resulting in significant additional product development to accommodate changes in vendor and replacement parts and may render some parts as excess and obsolete. This could increase the risk of additional obsolescence and or development cost for the Company in pursuing large volume customers. Parts are sourced based, among other factors, on reliability, price and availability.

 
22

 
 
 At the present time Mototech is the Company’s sole manufacturer of its video phones. If Mototech or other providers of components and/or manufacturing services do not produce these components or provide their services on a timely basis, if the components or services do not meet the Company’s specifications and quality control standards, or if the components or services are otherwise flawed, the Company may have to delay product delivery, or recall or replace unacceptable products. In addition, such failures could damage the Company’s reputation and could adversely affect its operating results. As a result, the Company could lose potential customers and any revenues that it may have at that time may decline dramatically.
 
17.
Accounting for the Uncertainty in Income Taxes.
 
The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”(“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
 
The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax return in Pennsylvania as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined in FIN 48. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s evaluation was performed for tax years ended 2005 through 2008, the only periods subject to examination. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position.
 
The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is not to record such items as a component of income before income taxes. Penalties are recorded in other expense and interest paid or received is recorded in interest expense or interest income, respectively, in the statement of operations. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of or during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefit position to change during the next twelve months. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.
 
18.
Net Operating Losses and Changes of Ownership
 
The Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards and credit carryforwards will be subject to annual limitations as a result of prior, current or future changes in ownership and tax law as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) of 1986. Such limitations are based on the Company’s market value at the time of an ownership change multiplied by the long-term tax-exempt rate supplied by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
October 2008 Change of Control. Upon completing an analysis as required by IRC Section 382, it was determined that during October 2008, as a result of the aggregation of shares related to the conversion of the convertible debenture into shares of Common Stock by the convertible debenture holder, the Company experienced a change of ownership as defined in Section 382. Prior to the change, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward (NOL) of approximately $237,441. Due to the annual limitations imposed by Section 382, the Company will be unable to utilize approximately $234,952 of this net operating loss and the remaining amount of approximately $2,489 will be subject to an annual utilization limitation of approximately $124 for 20 years. The total NOL available to offset future taxable income as of December 31, 2008 is approximately $2,754, which includes losses incurred for the period up to the change of control of approximately $2,489 (subject to annual limitations) and losses incurred subsequent to the change in control to December 31, 2008 of approximately $265, which will likely not be subject to an annual limitation.
 
April 2009 Change of Control. Upon completing an analysis as required by Section 382, it was determined that during April 2009, as a result of the private placement pursuant to which WGI acquired shares of Common Stock representing 63% of the outstanding Common Stock, the Company experienced a second change of ownership as defined in Section 382. As a result of the second change, the NOL limitation attributable to the first change of approximately $124 annually will remain in place limiting approximately $2,489 of NOL. The post October 2008 change of control loss of approximately $265 would be able to be fully utilized going forward with no likely limitations.
 
The state net operating loss projected to be lost is approximately $187,356 resulting in approximately $2,754 remaining to be carried forward subject to similar annual limitations. The state net operating losses are also limited by state law and subject to maximum utilization limits. The federal research and experimentation credit (R&D), which provides tax credit for certain R&D efforts, will also be subject to an annual limitation. Due to the limitation pursuant to Section 382, all but approximately $25 of the credit is lost. The federal credits remaining will expire in 2028. All state research and experimentation credit carryovers have been refunded and no state credit remains.

Subsequent Events
 
Mototech Agreement. On July 8, 2009, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Mototech, Inc. (“Mototech”) to settle all past due obligations owed by the Company to Mototech. Mototech had performed various services for the Company, including manufacturing and engineering development, through various historical transactions, which resulted in a claim by Mototech for approximately $1,400 in unpaid fees and expenses from the Company. Pursuant to the letter agreement,
 
 
·
all obligations of the Company to Mototech were terminated and the Company was released from all liabilities or obligations to Mototech, including all amounts due or owing to Mototech;
 
 
·
the Company agreed to pay $600 in cash to Mototech pursuant to the following payment schedule: (a) $50 was paid on July 20, 2009; (b) $100 to be paid on or prior to August 30, 2009; (c) $150 to be paid on or prior to September 30, 2009; and (d) $300 to be paid on or prior to October 30, 2009;
 
 
·
the Company issued to Mototech 3,200,000 unregistered shares of Common Stock,, subject to the following conditions: (a) no such shares can be sold prior to the date that is 9 months after the issuance of such shares and (b) when such shares are permitted to be sold, no more than 25,000 of such shares may be sold in any single day; and
 
 
·
the Company issued to Mototech an unregistered warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Mototech Warrant”) with the following terms: (a) exercise price of $0.35 per share; (b) immediate vesting of the entire warrant; and (c) expiration date of the earlier of (i) July 8, 2014, (ii) a change of control of the Company or (iii) the twentieth (20th) day following the Company’s delivery of notice to Mototech of the occurrence of a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days during which the quoted bid price of the Common Stock has been greater than a price equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the exercise price of the warrant.
 
As part of closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement (See note 3), the Company issued to WGI a warrant to purchase up to 140.0 million shares of Common Stock (the “Anti-Dilution Warrant”), at an exercise price of $0.01 per share under certain circumstances, including if the Company issues any capital stock upon the exercise or conversion of up to 19.7 million shares underlying options, warrants or other purchase rights issued by the Company after April 6, 2009 (“Future Contingent Equity”). Any shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any exercise of the Mototech Warrant would result in shares becoming exercisable under the Anti-Dilution Warrant equaling 1.7027027 multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any exercise of the Mototech Warrant.

Warrant Amendment. On July 15, 2009, the Company amended the exercise price of the Warrant to Purchase Common Stock of WorldGate Communications, Inc., dated September 24, 2007 (the “2007 Warrant”), representing rights to purchase 2,564,102 shares of Common Stock, held by Antonio Tomasello and that expires on September 23, 2012.

 
24

 
 
The exercise price of the 2007 Warrant was amended from $0.49 per share to (a) $0.25 per share of Common Stock if the 2007 Warrant is exercised in full prior to September 15, 2009, (b) $0.31 per share of Common Stock if the 2007 Warrant is exercised in full on or after September 15, 2009 but prior to November 15, 2009, or (c) $0.39 per share of Common Stock if the 2007 Warrant is exercised in full on or after November 15, 2009 or is exercised in part at any time.

Appointment of new Chief Executive Officer and President. On July 31, 2009, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with George E. Daddis Jr., pursuant to which Mr. Daddis agreed to serve as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, effective August 3, 2009.
 
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company agreed (1) to pay Mr. Daddis $220,000 per year , (2) to grant Mr. Daddis an option to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.34 per share and which vests 25% per year beginning on July 31, 2010, and (3) to pay Mr. Daddis severance payments in the amount of six (6) months’ salary and benefits continuation should (i) the Company terminate his employment for any reason without Cause as defined or (ii) Mr. Daddis terminates his employment with the Company for Good Reason as defined.
 
On August 3, 2009, Robert Stevanovski resigned as the Company’s interim Chief Executive and President effective immediately.

The Company has evaluated events that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2009 through August 14, 2009, the date of which the financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2009 were issued. Except as disclosed above, management concluded that no other events required disclosure in these financial statements.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollar amounts contained in this Item 2 are in thousands, except for share and per share amounts)

FORWARD-LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

We may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements, including those contained in the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The words “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. In order to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we are hereby identifying certain important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievement to differ materially from those that may be contained in or implied by any forward-looking statement made by or on our behalf. The factors, individually or in the aggregate, that could cause such forward-looking statements not to be realized include, without limitation, the following: (1) difficulty in developing and implementing marketing and business plans, (2) industry competition factors and other uncertainty that a market for our products will develop, (3) challenges associated with distribution channels, including both the retail distribution channel and high speed data operators (e.g., uncertainty that they will offer our products, inability to predict the manner in which they will market and price our products and existence of potential conflicts of interests and contractual limitations impeding their ability to offer our products), (4) continued losses, (5) difficulty or inability to raise additional financing on terms acceptable to us, (6) departure of one or more key persons, (7) changes in regulatory requirements, (8) delisting of our Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) from the OTCBB and (9) other risks identified in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risks identified in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors is not intended to be, and is not, exhaustive. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time by us or on our behalf, other than as required by the federal securities law.

General
 
We are currently in the process of transforming the Company from a manufacturer of high quality consumer video phones, into a service operating company that also provides “turn-key” digital video phone services (meaning a complete, ready-to-use digital video phone services solution) directly to end using customers. Inherent in this strategy is a monthly recurring revenue stream that would be based on the particular services provided by us to each company we partner with. Also key to this strategy is that it enables many non-traditional companies and organizations who have a very broad distribution reach, but do not have an infrastructure to provide telephone and video services, to provide their distribution networks with a video phone service solution. We are currently in the process of developing a new video phone needed for the transition to a digital video phone service and will make the video phone available to ACN as well as to all of our customers. The first prototypes are expected be available in the fourth quarter of 2009 with customer availability expected in the second quarter of 2010.

 
25

 

We expect some companies will look to us to wholesale to them select services from the platform as they are already providing services such as billing, customer care and customer order entry. Our wholesale offering will include our video phone, provisioning, network and technical support services. Our platform will be modular so customers can choose the services that best fit their needs.

While we expect revenues related to the new business model to begin in late 2009, or early next year, the extent and timing of future revenues for our digital video phone services depends on several factors, including the rate of market acceptance of our products, the degree of competition from similar products, and our ability to access funding necessary to provide the time runway to roll out product and services. We cannot predict to what extent our service business will produce revenues, or when, or if, we will reach profitability.

Relationship with AequusTechnologies. In the spring of 2006, we entered into a multiyear agreement with Aequus Technologies Corp. (“Aequus”) to purchase Ojo video phones through its wholly owned subsidiary Snap Telecommunications Inc. (“Snap!VRS”), a provider of Video Relay Services (“VRS”) and Video Remote Interpreting (“VRI”) services for the deaf and hard of hearing. In the spring of 2007, we announced an expansion of our relationship with Aequus and Snap!VRS agreeing to work collaboratively to develop the preferred VRS phone for the VRS community. From 2006, we were reliant on the Aequus relationship as our primary customer relationship.

On February 4, 2008, we disclosed that we were in a dispute with Aequus over the payment of significant monies that we believed Aequus owed to us. The refusal by Aequus to pay such monies had contributed to a shortfall in our available operating cash needed to continue operations, and accordingly, on January 30, 2008, we shut down our operations. This was a first step to winding down our business, which would occur if we were not able to secure payment of the monies believed to be owed to us by Aequus and/or secure new financing.

On March 31, 2008, we entered into a new agreement with Aequus and Snap!VRS. This new agreement provides for the (i) resolution of a dispute with Aequus regarding amounts we claimed were owed to us by Aequus and the termination by us of video phone service to Aequus, (ii) payment to us by Aequus of approximately $5,000 in scheduled payments over ten months commencing March 31, 2008, (iii) agreement to arbitrate approximately $1,354 claimed by us to be owed by Aequus and (iv) purchase of an additional $1,475 of video phones by Aequus.
 
In October 2008, Aequus failed to pay $953 owed to us for the purchase of video phones, and as a result we terminated our reseller agreement with Aequus. We have most of the units sold to Aequus in our possession and we are attempting to sell the units elsewhere to recover the $953 while continuing to resolve our dispute with Aequus. We continue to believe that the VRS and VRI markets provide an attractive opportunity for the sale of video phones and have initiated shipments of video phones to other VRS/VRI providers. In addition, on January 27, 2009, we resolved arbitration proceedings with Aequus, and in full satisfaction of the outstanding $1,354 arbitration claim, Aequus agreed to terminate any obligation on our part to provide certain prepaid engineering services pursuant to a previous agreement with Aequus. As a result of the arbitration, we retained $725 of the approximately $900 prepaid by Aequus for these engineering services.
 
Relationship with WGI and ACN. On April 6, 2009, we completed a private placement of securities to WGI Investor LLC (“WGI”), pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated December 12, 2008 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), between WGI and the Company. In connection with the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, we issued to WGI an aggregate of 202,462,155 shares of our Common Stock, representing approximately 63% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock, as well as a warrant to purchase up to approximately 140.0 million shares of our Common Stock in certain circumstances (the “Anti-Dilution Warrant”) in exchange for (i) cash consideration of $1,450 (of which $750 had been previously advanced to us by WGI), (ii) the cancellation of convertible debentures held by WGI under which approximately $5,100 in principal and accrued interest was outstanding, and (iii) the cancellation of certain outstanding warrants held by WGI. In December 2008, WGI had acquired from YA Global Investments, L.P. (“YA Global”) the convertible debentures that we had previously issued to YA Global and the outstanding warrants to purchase our Common Stock then held by YA Global. We expect to use the proceeds from the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement primarily for working capital purposes.

The Anti-Dilution Warrant entitles WGI to purchase up to 140.0 million shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share to the extent the Company issues any capital stock upon the exercise or conversion of (i) any warrants, options and other purchase rights that were outstanding as of April 6, 2009 (“Existing Contingent Equity”), (ii) up to 19.7 million shares underlying future options, warrants or other purchase rights issued by the Company after April 6, 2009 (“Future Contingent Equity”), or (iii) the ACN Warrant described below. The Anti-Dilution Warrant is designed to ensure that WGI may maintain 63% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock in the event that any of the Company’s capital stock is issued in respect to the Existing Contingent Equity, the Future Contingent Equity or the ACN Warrant. The term of the Anti-Dilution Warrant is ten years from the date of issuance, and the shares subject to the Anti-Dilution Warrant will be decreased proportionally upon the expiration of Existing Contingent Equity, Future Contingent Equity and the ACN Warrant.

WGI is a private investment fund whose ownership includes owners of ACN Inc., which is the parent company of ACN Digital Phone Service, LLC (“ACN”).  ACN, Inc., is a direct seller of telecommunications services and a distributor of video phones.  Concurrently with the closing of the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, we entered into a commercial relationship with ACN pursuant to which we will design and sell video phones to ACN (the “Commercial Relationship”).  As part of the Commercial Relationship, we entered into two agreements, a Master Purchase Agreement pursuant to which ACN has committed to purchase three hundred thousand videophones over a two-year period and a Software Development and Integration and Manufacturing Assistance Agreement pursuant to which ACN committed and paid $1,200 to fund certain software development costs.  In connection with the Commercial Relationship, we granted ACN a warrant to purchase up to approximately 38.2 million shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0425 per share (the “ACN Warrant”).  The ACN Warrant will vest incrementally based on ACN’s purchases of video phones under the Commercial Relationship.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These generally accepted accounting principles require 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 net revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Our significant accounting policies are described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section and the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are required in applying our accounting policies in many areas. Following are some of the areas requiring significant judgments and estimates: revenue recognition, inventory valuation, stock based compensation, deferred revenues, deferred tax asset valuation allowances and valuation of derivative liabilities and related warrants. Management has discussed the development and selection of these policies with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed our disclosures of these policies. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies or estimates reported in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section or the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Product Revenue. Product revenue consists of the sale of Ojo video phones. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2008, the decrease in product revenue primarily reflects reduced shipments of product to Aequus. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2008, the decrease in product revenue primarily reflects reduced shipments of product to Aequus, partially offset by $322 of product shipments to another customer during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Service Revenue. Service revenue consists of subscription service revenues and service provided to service operators. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the decrease in service revenue primarily reflects the reduction in service provided to Aequus.

Other Revenue. Other revenue consists of non-recurring engineering and other non recurring services. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2008, the decrease in other revenue primarily reflects the reduction in realized revenues from non recurring engineering services, support and transition training and service center usage provided to Aequus under the March 31, 2008 agreement. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2008, the increase in other revenue primarily reflects the increased revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that included $725 related to the settlement of a dispute with Aequus wherein the settlement eliminated $725 of the Company’s $900 obligation to provide NRE to Aequus and that was credited to NRE services provided under the March 31, 2008 agreement with Aequus.

Net Revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2008, the decrease in net revenue primarily reflects the decrease in product, service and other revenues related to revenue realized from Aequus. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2008, the increase in other revenue primarily reflects the increased revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that included $725 related to the settlement of a dispute with Aequus which was partially offset by the decrease in product and service revenue from Aequus as noted above which was the result of the conclusion of the March 31, 2008 agreement in January 2009.

Gross margin
  $ 138     $ 418     $ (280 )     (67 )%   $ 461     $ 494     $ (33 )     (7 )%

Cost of Revenues. The cost of revenues consists of product and delivery costs relating to the deliveries of video phones, and direct costs related to non-recurring engineering services revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2008, the decrease in cost of revenues primarily reflects decreased costs related to reduced product shipments of $674, and decreased other revenue engineering services costs of $159. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2008, the increase in cost of revenues primarily reflects the recording of a $600 inventory reserve for certain excess and obsolete inventory that may not be utilized in the future development of our video phones.

Gross Margin. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2008, the decrease in gross margin primarily reflects the reduction of product revenues and the decrease in engineering services, partially offset by the result of an improved product mix to higher margin service and engineering service revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2008, gross margin was reduced by $600 relating to the establishment of an inventory reserve for certain excess and obsolete inventory. Before this adjustment, gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $1,061, or 77%, compared to $494, or 36%, for the same period in 2008. This improvement in gross margin was primarily the result of the increase in revenue from the non-recurring engineering , training and service center usage revenues recognized from our agreement with Aequus, with the respective costs of these increased revenues having been previously incurred and recorded in 2008 (See Note 15 of the accompanying financial statements), engineering services provided to ACN for software development (See Note 15 of the accompanying financial statements), and increased selling prices and lower unit costs of the product shipped during the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.

Engineering and Development. Engineering and development expenses primarily consist of compensation, and the cost of design, programming, testing, documentation and support of our video phone product. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the increase in engineering and development expenses primarily reflects that in 2008 certain direct engineering development costs charged to cost of revenues that were related to revenues reported for NRE services performed for Aequus during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 for non recurring engineering services, support and transition training and service center usage provided to Aequus under the March 31, 2008 agreement .

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation (which includes compensation to manufacturer’s representatives and distributors), attendance at conferences and trade shows, travel costs, advertising, promotions and other marketing programs (which include expenditures for co-op advertising and new market development) related to the continued sales of our video phone product For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared with the three and months ended June 30, 2008, the decrease in sales and marketing expenses is primarily the result of reduced marketing, customer service and promotional expenditures and reduced compensation costs.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of expenditures for administration, office and facility operations, as well as finance and general management activities, including legal, accounting and professional fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily the result of the accrual of $626 in compensation and severance expenses related to officers that were terminated. The terminated officer’s compensation will cease on April 7, 2010. In addition the six months ended June 30, 2009, included a bad debt reserve of $157 relating to certain product shipped and invoiced to a customer that has not been paid.

Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income consisted of interest earned on cash and cash equivalents. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we earned interest on an average cash balance of approximately $732 and $576, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we earned interest on an average cash balance of approximately $490 and $562, respectively.

Change in fair value of derivative warrants and conversion options. The fair value adjustments of our derivative warrants and conversion options issued in our June 2004 private placement of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants and our August 11, 2006 and October 13, 2006 private placements of secured convertible debentures and warrants are primarily a result of changes in our common stock price during each reporting period and anti-dilution provisions that increased the number of outstanding warrants and reduced the warrant exercise price as of June 30, 2008 (See Note 8 of the accompanying financial statements).

Income from Service Fee Contract Termination. Income from service fee contract termination consists of payments from Aequus for the elimination of previously agreed service fees with Aequus, which we realized over a ten month period ending January 2009 (See Note 15 of the accompanying financial statements).

Amortization of Debt Discount. Amortization of debt discount consists of the amortization of the secured convertible debentures issued in the August 11, 2006 and October 13, 2006 private placements. The increase of amortization of debt discount for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, when compared to the same periods in 2008, is primarily the result of the application of the effective interest rate method to determine the monthly amortization of the discount over the term of the convertible debentures. This method increases the periodic amortization charged as the convertible debentures reach maturity (See Note 7 of the accompanying financial statements). On the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, the convertible debentures were terminated and the remaining unamortized discount on the convertible debentures of $2,235 was charged to income and included in amortization of debt discount expense.

Loss on Equipment Disposal. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, certain equipment, furniture and fixtures were sold and disposed of during the Company’s move to smaller facilities. The net loss realized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was $295. There was no loss or gain realized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
Interest and Other Expense. The reduction in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, when compared to the same periods in 2008, primarily consisted of the elimination in 2009 of accrued interest ($1,046) on the secured convertible debentures issued in the August 11, 2006 and October 13, 2006 private placements upon the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement (See Note 3 of the accompanying financial statements).

Income Taxes. We have incurred net operating losses since inception and accordingly had no current income tax provision and have not recorded any income tax benefit for those losses, since realization of such benefit is currently uncertain.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity. As of June 30, 2009, our primary sources of liquidity consisted of proceeds from notes issued, the sale of Common Stock and the exercise of warrants, the sale of Ojo video phones and engineering development services. Cash and cash equivalents are invested in investments that are highly liquid, are of high quality investment grade and have original maturities of less than three months. As of June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,209.

Cash Used in Operations. We utilized cash from operations of $529 and $1,391, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and $132 and $654, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. Our short term cash requirements and obligations include inventory, accounts payable and capital expenditures from continuing operations and operating expenses during these periods in 2009 and 2008.

Cash Used in Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily a result of capital expenditures of $229 and $256, respectively, for investments in equipment for product development and manufacture. Cash used in investing activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily a result of capital expenditures of $4 and $4, respectively for investments in equipment for product development and manufacture.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $1,647 and $2,427, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was $0 and $1, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we received cash of $1,450 from stock issuances and $881 from the exercise of warrants (See Note 3 of the accompanying financial statements).

Operations and Liquidity.
 
We have incurred recurring net losses and have an accumulated deficit of $271,483, stockholder’s deficency of $2,150 and a working capital deficit of $3,019 as of June 30, 2009. We have also experienced severe cash shortfalls, deferred payment of some of our operating expenses, and shut down operations for a period of time in early 2008 to conserve our cash. At least in the short term we do not expect to generate sufficient cash from operations and will likely need to secure additional cash financing and to increase product sales. No assurances can be given that we will be able to obtain the necessary cash for us to continue as a going concern. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

We had $6,477 of liabilities and none of our assets are pledged as collateral as of June 30, 2009. These liabilities include $2,968 of accounts payable and accrued expenses, $2,201 of deferred revenues and income, and $413 of detachable warrants related to the Company’s private placement of preferred stock in June 2004 which were extended to August 7, 2009.

In December 2008, WGI acquired from YA Global Investments, L.P. (“YA Global”) the secured convertible debentures we previously issued to YA Global and the outstanding warrants to purchase our Common Stock then held by YA Global. On the closing on April 6, 2009 of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement we issued and sold to WGI a total of 202,462,155 shares of our Common Stock, representing approximately 63% of our outstanding stock, as well as a warrant to purchase up to approximately 140.0 million shares of our Common Stock in certain circumstances, in exchange for (i) total cash consideration of $1,450, (ii) the cancellation of debentures held by WGI under which approximately $5,100 in principal and accrued interest was outstanding at June 30, 2009, and (iii) the cancellation of certain of our outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,595,000 shares of our Common Stock held by WGI.

In October 2008, Aequus Technologies Corp. (“Aequus”) failed to pay to us $953 owed to us for the purchase of video phones, and as a result we terminated our reseller agreement with Aequus. We have most of the units sold to Aequus in our possession and we are attempting to sell the units elsewhere to recover the $953 while continuing to resolve our dispute with Aequus. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell the units and recover the $953 owed by Aequus. We continue to believe that the VRS and VRI markets provide an attractive opportunity for the sale of video phones and have initiated sales with other VRS/VRI service providers.

On January 27, 2009, we resolved the outstanding NRE Arbitration with Aequus, and in full satisfaction of the outstanding arbitration claim Aequus agreed to terminate any obligation on our part to provide certain prepaid engineering services pursuant to the March 31, 2008 Agreement with Aequus (Aequus had prepaid approximately $900 for these engineering services of which $725 was allocated to the settlement).

Our ability to generate cash is dependent upon the sale of our Ojo product, our ability to enter into arrangements to provide services, and on obtaining cash through the private or public issuance of debt or equity securities. Given that our video phone business involves the development of a new video phone necessary for the digital video phone service with no market penetration in an underdeveloped market sector, no assurances can be given that sufficient sales, if any, will materialize. The lack of success of our sales efforts could also have an adverse ability to raise additional financing.

Based on management’s internal forecasts and assumptions, including regarding our short term cash requirements, we currently believe that we will have sufficient cash on hand to meet our obligations into the fourth quarter of 2009. However, there can be no assurance given that these assumptions are correct or that the revenue projections associated with product sales and services to ACN will materialize to a level that will provide us with sufficient capital to operate our business.

We continue to evaluate possibilities to obtain additional financing through public or private equity or debt offerings, asset securitizations, or from other sources. In addition the Company plans to explore additional service and distribution sales opportunities. There can be no assurance given, however, that our efforts will be successful or that any additional financing will be available and can be consummated on terms acceptable to us, if at all. There can also be no assurance given that any additional sales can be achieved through additional service and distribution opportunities. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funds we may be required to further reduce the size of the organization or suspend operations which could have a material adverse impact on our business.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not required.

ITEM 4T.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As previously reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that the Company had a material weakness related to the lack of internal GAAP expertise to assist with the accounting and reporting of complex financial transactions. The limited Company resources as well as the Company’s focus and efforts toward keeping the Company solvent contributed to the material weakness. As a result, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2008, its disclosure controls and procedures were not designed properly and were not effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

 
31

 

  We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2009. As a result of the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2009, its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as the material weakness identified at December 31, 2008 still existed. While the Company pursued remedies to the material weakness in accounting for complex transactions through the engagement of external expertise, management believes that further integration of expertise into the Company’s accounting of complex transactions is still required.

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The Company is also still in the process of implementing a financial system that it believes will improve the internal control over financial reporting and will eliminate any identified deficiencies.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Although from time to time we may be involved in litigation as a routine matter in conducting our business, we are not currently involved in any litigation which we believe is material to our operations or balance sheet. During the three months ended March 2008 we were involved in a dispute with Aequus Technologies. We entered into an agreement with Aequus, effective March 31, 2008, that provided for the resolution of a dispute with Aequus regarding amounts we claimed were owed to us by Aequus including, (i) payment to us by Aequus of $5 million in scheduled payments over the ten months ending January 2009, (ii) agreement to arbitrate approximately $1.4 million that we claimed were owed to us by Aequus for NRE costs, and (iii) purchase of an additional $1.5 million of video phones by Aequus. In October 2008, however, Aequus failed to pay us approximately $953 that we were owed for the purchase of video phones, and as a result we terminated our reseller agreement with Aequus. We are reviewing our possible remedies to recover the $953, including selling Aequus inventory we hold in our possession.

On January 27, 2009, we resolved the outstanding NRE Arbitration with Aequus, and in full satisfaction of the outstanding arbitration claim Aequus agreed to terminate any obligation on our part to provide certain prepaid engineering services pursuant to the March 31, 2008 Agreement with Aequus (Aequus had prepaid approximately $900,000 for these engineering services of which $725,000 was allocated to the settlement).

ITEM 2.   UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

On June 23, 2009, the Company amended the exercise price and other provisions of certain Series A Warrants to Purchase Common Stock of WorldGate Communications, Inc. issued June 23, 2004 and certain Series B Warrants to Purchase Common Stock of WorldGate Communications, Inc. issued June 23, 2004 (collectively, the “2004 Warrants”), representing rights to purchase, in the aggregate, 8,771,955 shares of Common Stock and that would have expired on June 23, 2009. The exercise price of the 2004 Warrants was amended to $0.25 per share of Common Stock and the expiration date of the 2004 Warrants was amended to August 7, 2009.

On June 23, 2009, the Company also amended the exercise price and other provisions of certain Warrants to Purchase Common Stock of WorldGate Communications, Inc. issued August 3, 2005 (collectively, the “2005 Warrants”), representing rights to purchase, in the aggregate, 513,333 shares of Common Stock and that expire on August 3, 2010.  The exercise price of the 2005 Warrants was amended to $0.25 per share of Common Stock.
 
As of June 30, 2009, 3,166,667 of the 2004 Warrants and all of the 2005 Warrants were exercised, resulting in the Company issuing 3,680,000 shares of Common Stock and in return the Company received $920 in aggregate cash proceeds.  After June 30, 2009 and through August 7, 2009, additional 2004 Warrants were exercised (including a significant number of 2004 Warrants held by an affiliate of Antonio Tomasello), resulting in the Company issuing 5,525,288 shares of Common Stock and in return the Company received $1,401 in cash proceeds.  The Company incurred $39 of fees pursuant to the transfer of the 2004 Warrants and 2005 Warrants from the original warrant holders that were not interested in exercising the warrants to new warrant holders.  The Company expects to use the aggregate net proceeds of $2,282 from the exercise of the 2004 Warrants and 2005 Warrants primarily for working capital purposes.

ARTICLE I            DEMISE OF PREMISES

1.1  Premises. For and in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein and other valuable consideration, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant the hereinafter defined “Premises” being approximately 17,000 square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) in a building containing approximately 70,000 square feet of GLA (the “Building”) located on a parcel of land (the “Land”) located at 3190 Tremont Avenue, Bucks County, Trevose, Bensalem Township, Pennsylvania, together with all rights, easements and other appurtenances thereto in common with the other occupants of the building. As used herein, the GLA is an approximation and is not an exact number. The parties agree that the GLA shall be binding regardless of the exact measurements of the Premises. The Building is depicted on that certain Site Plan attached hereto as Exhibit “A-1” and incorporated herein by reference (the “Site Plan”). The location of the Premises within the Building is the portion of the lower level of the Building as depicted on that certain Floor Plan attached hereto as Exhibit “A-2” and incorporated herein by reference (the “Floor Plan”).

2.2 Approvals. Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining all desired use and occupancy permits related to Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining any and all permits and/or approvals required due to Tenant’s alterations to the Premises, or otherwise related to Tenant’s use therein.

2.3 Rules and Regulations. Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant, its servants, employees, agents, invitees, licensees and other visitors shall observe faithfully, and comply strictly with, the Rules and Regulations contained in Exhibit “B”, attached hereto and made a part hereof, and such other and further reasonable Rules and Regulations as Landlord or Landlord’s agents may, after written notice to Tenant, from time to time adopt. Nothing in this Lease contained shall be construed to impose upon Landlord any duty or obligation to enforce the Rules and Regulations or terms, covenants or conditions in any other lease as against any other tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant, its servants, employees, agents, invitees, licensees or other visitors. Landlord agrees that the Rules and Regulations shall not be enforced so as to discriminate against Tenant or unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises and that the Rules and Regulations shall be enforced uniformly against all tenants in the Building; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for Landlord’s failure to enforce the Rules and Regulations against any other tenants. Tenant shall not be obligated to comply with any Rules and Regulations or amendments thereto until Tenant has received a written copy of such Rules and Regulations.

4.1 Base Rent. Tenant shall pay Landlord at the address shown on the Lease Summary, or such other place as Landlord shall designate in writing, Base Rent in advance, without demand, set off or deduction, except as expressly provided for herein, in equal monthly installments, on the first day of each and every full calendar month during the Term from and after the Commencement Date, as is set forth in the Lease Summary above. Should the Commencement Date fall on any day other than the first of the month, Base Rent for that initial partial month shall be due and payable on the first day of the first full month of the Term, together with Base Rent for said first full calendar month.

4.2 Additional Rent. In addition to Base Rent as provided immediately above, Tenant shall also pay “Additional Rent” on a monthly basis, which Additional Rent is intended to constitute payment in full Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Real Estate Taxes (as defined in §5.1), Utilities (as defined in §7.1) and all other Building Operating Expenses (as defined in §9.2), each as more fully set out below. With respect to Real Estate Taxes, Utilities and Building Operating Expenses, “Tenant’s Proportionate Share” shall be equal to 24.29%.

4.3 Estimates and Reconciliations. At least forty-five days (45) prior to the commencement of each Lease Year hereunder Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written estimate of Tenant’s Additional Rent for such Lease Year.

Such reconciliation is solely for the purpose of determining whether any increase in the Additional Rent is appropriate for a subsequent lease year. In no event shall any increase in the Additional Rent be greater than the lesser of (1) the actual increase in Landlord’s expenses properly allocated to Tenant hereunder, or (2) 104% of the Additional Rent payable for the last lease year. 4.4 Security Deposit.

The Real Estate Taxes for any tax year shall mean such amounts as shall be finally determined to be the Real Estate Taxes payable during such tax year less any abatements, refunds or rebates made thereof.

(b) Real Estate Taxes to be shared by Tenant shall not include the following: (i) income, intangible, franchise, capital stock, estate or inheritance taxes or taxes substituted for or in lieu of the foregoing exclusions; (ii) any roll-back taxes or any assessment for special improvements to the Land or the Building, including but not limited to the widening of exterior roads, the installation of or hook up to sewer lines, sanitary and storm drainage systems and other utility lines and installations, provided that such assessment is made prior to the date hereof; (iii) taxes on rents, gross receipts or revenues of Landlord from the Premises or other portions of the Building, unless same pertain only to rents paid by Tenant hereunder and are made specifically in lieu of existing Real Estate Taxes; or (iv) impact fees, including, but not limited to, loophole and proffer fees.

(c) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Real Estate Taxes shall be a component of Additional Rent to be paid along with Base Rent in equal monthly installments based upon the most recent available Real Estate Tax statements.
(d) If the term of this Lease shall terminate on any date other than the last day of a tax fiscal period, the amount payable by Tenant during the tax fiscal period in which such termination occurs shall be prorated on the basis which the number of days from the commencement of said tax fiscal period to and including said termination date bears to the number of days in the fiscal period. A similar proration shall be made for the tax fiscal period in which the Commencement Date occurs.
 
ARTICLE VI         COMMON AREAS & EXCLUSIVE USE AREAS

6.1 Definition. “Common Areas” (or “Common Area”) shall mean all exterior/outdoor areas, space, installations and equipment on the Land for the common use and benefit of the tenants of the Building, their employees, agents, licensees, customers and other invitees, including without limitation shared areas for utilities, parking areas, exits, entrances, access roads, driveways, sidewalks, retaining walls, ramps, and landscaped areas.

Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, its licensees, subtenants, concessionaires, successors and assigns, and its and their employees, agents, licensees, customers, and invitees the non-exclusive right and easement to use the Common Areas during the term hereof and any extensions of same, continuously and without interruption, in common with other tenants of the Building. Landlord shall make no change to the Common Areas or Exclusive Use Areas that would have adverse impact on Tenant and, except for de minimis changes, shall provide at least thirty (30) days advance written notice before implementing any such change.

ARTICLE VIII       ASSIGNMENT & SUBLETTING

All alterations, additions and improvements made by Tenant to the Premises (“betterments and improvements”) remaining in the Premises after the expiration or other termination hereof shall become the property of Landlord upon the termination of this Lease without any compensation to Tenant and shall be surrendered at such time as a part of the Premises.

Each party shall deliver to the other party hereto the applicable insurance certificates at or prior to the date that same are required to be in effect and evidence of all renewals or replacements of same not less than ten (10) days’ prior to the expiration date of such policies. All such policies may be maintained under a blanket insurance policy of Landlord or Tenant.

11.4 Mutual Release and Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant hereby release each other and anyone claiming through or under the other by way of subrogation or otherwise from any and all liability for any loss of or damage to property, whether caused by the negligence or fault of the other party to the extent of the property insurance actually carried by the waiving party hereunder. In addition, Landlord and Tenant shall cause each insurance policy carried by them insuring any of the improvements on the Land or the contents thereof, to be written to provide that the insurer waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against the other party hereto (and any mortgagee of such party) in connection with any loss or damage covered by the policy. If no responsible and qualified insurer will provide a waiver of subrogation without extra charge or premium, then the insuring party shall inform the other party that such additional charge or premium is required and said other party may elect to (a) pay such extra charge or premium or (b) waive the requirement for the waiver of subrogation (in which case the waivers of claim set forth herein shall be ineffective). In case such waiver cannot be obtained, even at an additional cost, then item (b) in the immediately preceding sentence shall become effective. In case of an inability to obtain a waiver or an additional charge or premium for same, the party benefitting from the waiver shall have the right to cause the other party to seek reasonably satisfactory insurers that offer such waivers with no (or lower) charge or premium and to change insurance companies, if necessary, to obtain same. Any liability insurance coverage carried by either party hereto shall name the other party and, upon request, any lender of such other party as additional insured thereunder and each party hereby waives claims arising from the other party’s negligence to the extent of such insurance coverage.

To the extent of the insurance coverage actually carried by each, Tenant and Landlord agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each other harmless from and against any and all claims, damages or causes of action for damages brought on account of injury to any person or persons or property, or loss of life, arising out of (i) the failure to comply with its obligations hereunder by Landlord or Tenant, respectively, or (ii) the use, operation or maintenance of the Premises by Tenant or by the use, operation or maintenance of the remainder of the Building and other improvements on the Land by Landlord, except for matters arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth herein, the parties hereby agree that in the event of any damage to a party, including all personal and property damages and losses to a party’s employees or invitees, each party shall resort to any and all insurance coverage available prior to asserting any claim or demand against the other party or its assets. No insurer is meant to be a third party or other beneficiary of any provision contained in this Lease.
 
ARTICLE XII        DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

12.1 Damage and Destruction. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, if the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, the damage shall be promptly repaired by Landlord to the extent of the insurance proceeds available therefore, plus any deductible maintained with respect to Landlord’s property insurance. Until repairs to the Premises are completed by Landlord, Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated in proportion to the part of the Premises, if any, which is unusable by Tenant in the conduct of its business. If (a) the Premises are damaged to the extent that Tenant’s Permitted Use is materially adversely affected; and (b) any damage to the Premises cannot be repaired within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date of such damage; or (c) the Premises are materially damaged or destroyed during the last eighteen (18) months of the term hereof; then Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the casualty, time being of the essence. Landlord’s repair of the Premises shall not include any of Tenant’s trade fixtures or other personal property or any of Tenant’s betterments or improvements to the Premises. If the fire or other casualty is caused in whole or in part by Tenant, Tenant’s employees, agents, subcontractors, invitees or guests, then Tenant shall have no right of termination and no right of rent abatement as provided in this section. (b) If the Building is (a) damaged by fire or other insured casualty to the extent of fifty percent (50%) or more of the replacement cost thereof; or (b) materially damaged during the last eighteen (18) months of the term hereof; then Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the casualty, time being of the essence, and subject to Tenant’s right to extend the Term as provided above.

ARTICLE XV        DEFAULT

15.1 Remedies Upon Tenant’s Default. In the event Tenant shall at any time be in default in the payment of rent or other charges herein required to be paid by Tenant or in the observance or performance of any of the other covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by Tenant hereunder and any such default shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice to Tenant for monetary obligations and thirty (30) days after written notice to Tenant for all other obligations (or if such default is incapable of being cured in a reasonable manner within thirty (30) days then if Tenant has not commenced to cure the same within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion) and Tenant shall not thereafter cure such default, then in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Landlord under the laws of the United States and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Landlord shall be entitled to any one or more of the following rights:
(a) to bring suit for the collection of the rent or other amounts for which Tenant may be in default, or for the performance of any other covenant or agreement binding on Tenant. Landlord shall have the right to accelerate all payments of Rent and Additional Rent for the balance of the Term, and Tenant shall be required to pay same;
(b) to re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof, without thereby terminating this Lease, and thereupon Landlord may expel all persons and remove all property therefrom, without becoming liable to prosecution therefor, and relet the Premises and receive the rent therefrom, applying the same first to the payment of the reasonable expenses of such re-entry and the reasonable cost of such reletting, and then to the payment of the monthly rental accruing hereunder, the balance, if any, to be paid to Tenant. Tenant shall remain liable for any deficiency after such application.
(c) to terminate this Lease, re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof. In the event Landlord shall elect to terminate this Lease, as aforesaid, all rights and obligations of Landlord, and of any permitted successors or assigns, shall cease and terminate, except that Landlord shall have and retain full right to sue for and collect all rents and other amounts for the payment of which Tenant shall be in default, including all payments due or to become due through the Term of this Lease and all damages to Landlord by reason of any such breach, and Tenant shall surrender and deliver up the Premises to Landlord and upon any default by Tenant in so doing, Landlord shall have the right to recover possession by summary proceedings or otherwise and Landlord shall again have and enjoy the Premises, fully and completely, as if this Lease had never been made. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to receive an amount immediately available funds equal to (A) the full balance of the Base Rent and Additional Rent and other amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease as would otherwise have been required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord during the period following the termination of this Lease measured from the date of such termination to the expiration date stated in this Lease.  In addition to Landlord’s other remedies hereunder, if Tenant defaults in the performance of any obligation imposed on it by this Lease and does not cure such default within the cure period stated in paragraph 15.1 after written notice from Landlord specifying the default (or does not within said period commence and diligently proceed to cure such default), Landlord, without waiver of or prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have, shall have the right, at any time thereafter, to cure such default for the account of the Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon invoice for any amount paid and any expense or contractual liability so incurred. In the event of emergencies, or where necessary to prevent injury to persons or damage to property or to mitigate damages, Landlord may cure a default by Tenant before the expiration of the waiting period, but after giving such written or oral notice to Tenant as is practical under all of the circumstances. If Tenant fails to reimburse Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of invoice, then Tenant shall also pay to Landlord interest thereon at the hereinafter defined Default Rate from date of disbursement.

IN ANY ACTION OF OR FOR EJECTMENT OR FOR MONETARY DAMAGES OR OTHER SUMS, IF LANDLORD SHALL FIRST CAUSE TO BE FILED IN SUCH ACTION AN AFFIDAVIT MADE BY IT OR SOMEONE ACTING FOR IT SETTING FORTH THE FACTS NECESSARY TO AUTHORIZE THE ENTRY OF JUDGMENT, SUCH AFFIDAVIT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF SUCH FACTS; AND IF A TRUE COPY OF THIS LEASE (AND OF THE TRUTH OF THE COPY SUCH AFFIDAVIT SHALL BE SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE) BE FILED IN SUCH ACTION, IT SHALL NOT BE NECESSARY TO FILE THE ORIGINAL AS A WARRANT OF ATTORNEY, ANY RULE OF COURT, CUSTOM OR PRACTICE TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING. All remedies available to Landlord hereunder and otherwise available at law or in equity shall be cumulative and concurrent. No determination of this Lease nor taking or recovering possession of the Premises shall deprive Landlord of any remedies or actions against Tenant for rent, for charges, or for damages for the breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained, nor shall the bringing of any such action for rent, charges or breach of term, covenant or condition, nor the resort to any other remedy or right for the recovery of rent, charges or damages for such breach be construed as a waiver or release of the right to insist upon the forfeiture and to obtain possession. The failure of Landlord to insist upon strict and/or prompt performance of the terms, agreements, covenants and conditions of this Lease or any of them, and/or the acceptance of such performance thereafter shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of Landlord's right to thereafter enforce the same strictly according to the tenor thereof in the event of a continuing or subsequent default.

 
17

 

15.3 Attorneys’ Fees; Remedies. In the event that a party commences any suit for the collection of any amounts for which the other may be in default or for the performance of any other covenant or agreement hereunder, the other party shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by the prevailing party enforcing such obligations and/or collecting such amounts, plus interest thereon at the highest legal rate not to exceed eighteen (18%) percent per annum (the “Default Rate”). All remedies of Landlord and Tenant herein created or remedies otherwise existing at law or equity are cumulative and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not be taken to exclude or waive the right to the exercise of any other. All such rights and remedies may be exercised and enforced concurrently and whenever and as often as Tenant shall, as applicable, deem necessary.

15.4 Late Charge. In the event either party fails to pay any sum due and owing under this Lease within ten (10) calendar days after written notification from the other party that said payment is past due, the delinquent party shall immediately tender payment of the amount past due along with a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent amount; provided, however, that said notice and cure period shall only apply to the first time any payment is late during any given calendar year; otherwise, said late charge shall be automatically due and owing on any payment not received within ten (10) days after the same is due.

19.10 Prior Lease. Tenant is currently occupying other space (the “Other Space”) in the Building pursuant to a lease between Landlord and Tenant, dated August 25, 2005 (the “Prior Lease”.) Such Other Space shall be relinquished to Lessor on or before April 15, 2008, and in accordance therewith Tenant will remove all of its possessions and belongings from such Other Space, except as may be negotiated with the Landlord or with another tenant as part of a transfer to any new tenant, such as by way of example and not limitation, the conference room furniture on the upper floor of the tower and the desks and cubicles, and will broom sweep prior to redelivery to the Landlord hereunder. This lease agreement is intended to replace the Prior Lease, and as of the effective date hereof, and as a condition to this lease agreement, the Prior Lease is hereby terminated by mutual agreement and consent, and shall hereinafter be null and void and of no force or effect. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant has paid to Landlord the sum of $18,000 for all utilities and rent that may have been due and owing to Landlord under the Prior Lease for any periods of time prior to April 1, 2008. Furthermore Landlord hereby agrees to and shall (i) promptly terminate, with prejudice, any and all proceedings and actions pending with respect to all claimed or alleged breaches or defaults of such Prior Lease by Tenant, and (ii) accept as full satisfaction and accord of all of Tenant’s remaining financial obligations under such Prior Lease, such amounts as currently remain in the security deposit with respect to the Prior Lease. Accordingly, Tenant hereby relinquishes all claims it may have with respect to the security deposit and the return thereof to Tenant pursuant to the Prior Lease, and Landlord hereby releases Tenant from all claims it may have with respect to Tenant’s obligations under the Prior Lease..

19.11 Transfer Tax. Any transfer tax or other tax payable to any governmental taxing authority including the County in which the Premises are located by reason of the execution of this Lease and/or recordation of a memorandum hereof, shall be paid by Landlord.

19.13 Estoppel Certificate. Either party agrees within a reasonable period of time after request therefor by the other party (said reasonable time not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days) to execute and deliver to the requesting party a statement, certifying to its actual knowledge (a) whether or not this Lease is in full force and effect, (b) the date of commencement and termination of the term of this Lease, (c) the date to which rental and all other charges hereunder are paid currently without any offset or defense thereto (or stating any such offset or defense), (d) the amount of rental and all other charges hereunder, if any, paid in advance, (e) whether or not this Lease has been modified and, if so, identifying the modifications, (f) that there are no uncured defaults by the other party or describing the claimed defaults and (g) such other matters as the requesting party shall reasonably request.

19.15 Force Majeure. In the event that either party shall be delayed or hindered in, or prevented from, the performance of any work, service, or other act required under this Lease to be performed by the party and such delay or hindrance is due to strikes, lockouts, acts of God, governmental restrictions, enemy act, civil commotion, unavoidable fire or other casualty not intentionally caused by Tenant, or other causes of a like nature beyond the reasonable control of the party so delayed or hindered (a “Force Majeure Event”), then performance of such work, service, or other act shall be excused for the period of such delay and the period for the performance of such work, service, or other act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay. Lack of financial resources on the part of either party shall not be a Force Majeure Event.

19.16 Waiver of Trial by Jury. It is mutually agreed by and between Landlord and Tenant that the respective parties hereto shall and they hereby do waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other on any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use of or occupancy of the Leased Premises and/or any claim of injury or damage and any emergency statutory or any other statutory remedy.
