ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
 
BACKGROUND
 
SpeechSwitch, Inc. (“SpeechSwitch” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of New Jersey on November 10, 2004 as a wholly owned subsidiary of iVoice, Inc. ("iVoice"). The Company received by assignment all of the interests in and rights and title to, and assumed all of the obligations of, all of the agreements, contracts, understandings and other instruments of iVoice Technology 3, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“iVoice Technology 3”) a previously wholly owned subsidiary of iVoice.  When we refer to or describe any agreement, contract or other obligation of the Company in this Report, we may also be referring to an agreement, contract or other obligation assigned to the Company by the assignor, iVoice Technology 3.

In September 2004, the Board of Directors of iVoice, Inc., the former parent of the Company, resolved to pursue the separation of iVoice’s software business into three publicly owned companies. SpeechSwitch was formed to continue to develop, market and license the automated speech attendant software, which runs on industry-standard hardware and performs speech recognition. The Spin-off transaction was accomplished, on August 5, 2005, by the assignment, contribution and conveyance of certain intellectual property, representing the software codes of speech recognition, and certain accrued liabilities and related party debt (the "Spin-off") to SpeechSwitch. The Class A Common Stock shares of the Company were distributed to iVoice shareholders in the form of a taxable special dividend distribution.

In conjunction with the Spin-off, SpeechSwitch entered into a temporary administrative service agreement with iVoice. This agreement will continue on a month-to-month basis until SpeechSwitch is able to replace any or all of the services currently being provided by iVoice.

On August 5, 2005, SpeechSwitch assumed $190,000 in accrued liabilities and related party debt incurred by iVoice. The debt assumed is convertible into SpeechSwitch Class B Common Stock at the option of the holder as later described in notes to the Financial Statements herein.

On August 4, 2005, the registration statement filed by the Company to effectuate the Spin-off was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Spin-off was thereafter completed on August 5, 2005.

In June 2009, the company moved its headquarters from Matawan, NJ to Flemington, NJ. Our principal offices and facilities are now located at 6 Minneakoning Road, Flemington, New Jersey, 08822 and our new telephone number is (908) 788-0077.  Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets under the trading symbol “SSWC”.

OUR BUSINESS

We develop, market and license the lines of business relating to iVoice's Speech- Enabled Auto Attendant, Name Dialer and Speech Software Developers Kit (Speech SDK) products, which were developed by iVoice. Speech recognition is used to recognize what a person says, and through the use of natural language understanding, derives the meaning of what is said. We also offer a range of support services that enable our customers and channel partners to develop voice-driven applications that use our software.  Our products are designed to be “people oriented”, with features that can be readily used without special training and manuals.  Our product line of Speech SDK, incorporate this philosophy.  SpeechSwitch markets, promotes and sells its speech-enabled products primarily through telephony reseller channels.  We also sell direct to end users in geographic locations where an authorized reseller does not exist.  On direct sales orders, we are able to achieve greater profit margins through higher direct selling prices. We employ three full-time employees.  SpeechSwitch may seek to expand its operations through additional sales and marketing activity and the acquisition of additional businesses.  Any potential acquired additional businesses may be outside the current field of operations of SpeechSwitch.  SpeechSwitch may not be able to identify, successfully integrate or profitably manage any such businesses or operations.  Currently, SpeechSwitch has no plans, proposals or arrangements, either orally or in writing, regarding any proposed acquisitions and is not considering any potential acquisitions.
 
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, SpeechSwitch, Inc. has received a going concern opinion from its auditors. Its continuation as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the financing necessary to operate its business. The financing of our working capital needs was previously provided, in large part, from the sale of Class A Common Stock to YA Global Investments, LP, ("YA Global") pursuant to the terms of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. However, the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement expired on February 5, 2008, and was not renewed. If SpeechSwitch, Inc. cannot find sources of additional financing to fund its working capital needs, the Company will be unable to obtain sufficient capital resources to operate our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to access any financing in sufficient amounts or at all when needed. Our inability to obtain sufficient working capital funding will have an immediate material adverse effect upon our financial condition and our business.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Our products use standard open-architecture PC platforms and Microsoft Windows 2000 operating systems, thereby facilitating the rapid adoption of new PC-based technologies while reducing overall product costs. We concentrate our product development efforts on software rather than hardware because we believe that the most efficient way to create product value is to emphasize software solutions that meet customers' needs. We have recently adapted our applications to integrate with different manufacturer telephone switches through the use of Telephony Application Program Interface or ("TAPI"). The use of TAPI, allows us to integrate our applications into different telephone manufacturers Private Branch Exchange systems or "PBX's", eliminating the need for costly additional external hardware. We have traditionally used standard PC-related hardware components in our products, in part, to limit our need to manufacture components. Our manufacturing operations consist only of the installation of our proprietary software and, if required, a voiceboard, into a fully assembled PC system which we obtain from several different vendors. We obtain system components such as PCs, circuit boards, application cards, faxboards, and voiceboards from various suppliers.

Our flagship product is our Speech-enabled Auto Attendant product. The Auto Attendant engages callers in a natural language dialog and is ready to transfer a caller to an extension for the party the caller is trying to reach at any time. Callers can interrupt the Auto Attendant at any time by barging in on the prompts and simply saying the name of the person or department they wish to speak to.

We have met interoperability standards with several leading PBX manufacturers for Auto Attendant. To date, rigorous testing and compatibility studies have developed into co-marketing arrangements with Avaya for its Partner, Magic and IP Office Platforms, 3Com, for its NBX® platform, Artisoft for its TeleVantage® Communication server, and AltiGen's AltiServ® for its phone systems. These recent platform integrations add to several others previously completed, including a Siemens Ready™ certification, NEC Fusion Strategic Alliance, Toshiba Stratus, and Sprint North Supply.

Through these co-marketing arrangements and strategic alliances, we will attempt to capture significant market share in the business communication solution market by expanding distribution through these manufacturers' authorized reseller networks. To date, no significant revenues have been generated as a result of any such co-marketing arrangements or alliances.

Our Name Dialer product is an automatic phone dialing system. The system imports the necessary contact information for dialing (names and phone numbers) from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, Microsoft Outlook, ACT, and Gold Mine. The imported names are then transcribed, through software, into a set of phonemes that are used for voice recognition. When the end user picks up the handset, the call is automatically transferred through the PBX, to the Name Dialer application running on a server machine. The user simply says the name of the person (whose name came from the contact list) and the Name Dialer places the call.

Our Speech SDK product is a unique tool for software application developers, which provides the ability to convert common command and control functions to speech commands. The SDK allows software developers to write applications that can treat a user's voice as an input device, such as mouse, keyboard, or joystick. In addition to telephony applications, the SDK can be used to incorporate speech recognition into games, handheld devices and even household appliances.

The following is a list of Speech-enabled applications, which the Company has developed, and are available for sale:

Speech Enabled Auto Attendant. Any business can improve customer service and streamline the call handling process by allowing callers to reach their intended party by simply saying the appropriate name. Our speech recognition system is extremely accurate and reliable. The Speech Enabled Auto Attendant can significantly reduce or eliminate cumbersome dial by name or extension number menus and can be implemented without duplicating an organizations existing voicemail application.

iVoice Name Dialer is an automatic phone dialing system. The system imports the necessary contact information for dialing (names and phone numbers) from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, Microsoft Outlook, ACT, and Gold Mine. The imported names are then transcribed, through software, into a set of phonemes that are used for voice recognition. When the end user picks up the handset, the call is  automatically transferred through the PBX, to the Name Dialer application running on a server machine. The user simply says the name of the person (whose name came from the contact list) and the Name Dialer places the call. This system has not been fully developed, and, as such, it not yet available for sale.

iVoice Speech Directory allows employees to pick up their phone, say the name of a co-worker they wish to speak to, and the Speech Directory will transfer the call. Just by speaking the person's name, the Speech Directory can also return an internal pager number, cell numbers and email listings through a voice activated telephony directory.

iVoice Speech Software Developers Kit (SDK) iVoice Speech SDK is a unique tool for software application developers, which provides the ability to convert common command and control functions to speech commands. The SDK allows software developers to write applications that can treat a user's voice as an input device, such as mouse, keyboard, or joystick. In addition to telephony applications, the SDK can be used to incorporate speech recognition into games, handheld devices and even household appliances.

SALES AND MARKETING

The speech recognition enterprise market is characterized by a business environment that has goals to improve customer communication and personalization as well as reduce the costs of customer contact, a historically time-and-money intensive operation. Furthermore, consumers are increasingly taking charge of this important interaction between enterprise and consumer; deciding where, when and how they want this communication. To address this new business paradigm, enterprises are increasingly applying innovative wireless, speech and web technologies to leverage existing customer service infrastructures in the creation of interactive, self-directed service applications. These new applications are designed to put the customer in control of the delivery of the information while allowing the enterprise control of the data. This serves to address the enterprise’s objectives of improving the customer experience and reducing operating costs.
 
The Company’s strengths are reflected in the speech recognition enterprise market as part of a suite of offerings that can be delivered as components or as part of a total, turnkey solution. These speech recognition solutions use the latest in technology to allow enterprises to automate increasingly complex interactions, enabling businesses to provide quick and timely communications with customers and business partners. Such technology enables enterprises to communicate with their customers through voice, web, e-mail, facsimile and other forms of communication on a variety of devices, including telephones, PCs, mobile phones and personal digital assistants (“PDAs”).
 
Our marketing strategy emphasizes our user-friendly PC-based processing applications that offer integrated access to a broad range of communication mediums with other people and information sources. Our strategy is built around the following basic elements:

EMPHASIZE SOFTWARE, NOT HARDWARE. We concentrate our development efforts on software that meets our clients' needs rather than on designing or modifying hardware. This allows us to create the most value from our products and results in significantly higher profit margins than systems and applications that require expensive hardware components.

USE OF STANDARD, MICROSOFT WINDOWS-BASED ARCHITECTURE, OPEN SYSTEMS AND HARDWARE.  Our products use standard, open-architecture PC platforms and operating systems rather than proprietary computer hardware and operating systems. As a result, we can quickly adapt to new PC-based technologies, leveraging the substantial investments made by third parties in developing these new technologies for the PC environment. In addition, using readily available hardware components and software minimizes our manufacturing activity and thereby reduces the overall cost of our products.

FOCUS ON SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZED BUSINESSES AND CORPORATE DEPARTMENT. Our products are designed for use by small to medium sized businesses and corporate departments utilizing telephones in a wide range of markets, including manufacturing, retail, service, healthcare, and government. Our products include features offered by large proprietary call processing systems, but at a more affordable price.

DEVELOP USER-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS. We aim to make our products as easy as possible to install, maintain, and use. We accomplish this by incorporating product features that can be used without special training or manuals. Our products use a familiar graphical user interface that makes system administration and maintenance possible for almost any common PC user.

MINIMIZE DISTRIBUTION OVERHEAD. We are able to achieve broad market coverage in the U.S. via a nationwide network of independent telephone system dealers, and original-equipment-manufacturers, or "OEMs." This structure both minimizes our selling overhead and maximizes our product exposure, and allows us to focus our resources on product development.

SpeechSwitch will market its products directly and through more than 100 domestic and international re-sellers. The Company intends to enter into arrangements with resellers to broaden distribution channels and to increase its sales penetration to specific markets and industries. Distributors will be selected based on their access to the markets, industries and customers that are candidates for the products.

The Company is actively seeking strategic relationships with companies to build its developing partner program. The partner program will be built by establishing relationships in basic areas consisting of software and technology solution partners and system integration partners. These relationships will enhance the Company’s technological strength, improve its market position, facilitate shorter time-to-market, enhance its ability to deliver end-to-end solutions, and broaden its market coverage.
 
Developing market possibilities will be crucial to our success.  However, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to effectively market and sell our products for these uses or that they will be accepted by our perceived market.
 
CUSTOMERS

Direct customers are comprised of businesses, organization and corporate departments that use telephones as a principal means of communications. Specifically, the end users of our products seek to automate the call process for incoming callers in order to improve customer service and increase productivity. The SpeechSwitch products seek to fulfill these customer needs. Customers who seek to automate the call process for outbound calling are primary targets for the SpeechSwitch product line.

Wholesale customers include value added resellers and distributors of telephony equipment throughout North America.

We do not rely on any one specific customer for any significant portion of our revenue base.

We generally require customers to pay 50% down on any turnkey applications purchased, with the balance due when installation has been completed. Software only sales require cash-on-delivery or prepayment before shipping except for dealers and resellers, which subject to credit approval are given 30 day payment terms. We accept checks or Visa/MasterCard.

 
DISTRIBUTION
 
As a product line of iVoice, Inc., our speech recognition software has produced sales revenues for the past three fiscal years. In the past, iVoice devoted limited resources to the marketing of our speech recognition software.  The Company’s future revenues depend on its ability to develop a customer base through the establishment of a reseller channel using various marketing and sales promotions.

SpeechSwitch will market its products directly, with a sales force, and through more than 100 domestic and international re-sellers. SpeechSwitch intends to enter into arrangements with resellers to broaden distribution channels and to increase its sales penetration to specific markets and industries.  Distributors will be selected based on their access to the markets, industries and customers that are candidates for the products.
 
OEM AND RESELLER ACCOUNTS
 
While we have traditionally sold our product primarily on a direct basis, with our existing officers and employees fulfilling orders received by telephone and the internet, we will seek to obtain new OEM and reseller relationships that will serve as an extension of our sales team which has yet to be hired.  We currently have no strategic alliances with any OEMs or resellers other than the existing relationship between iVoice’s resellers and iVoice that are being transferred to us by iVoice for our benefit, nor do we have any current material negotiations with any OEM or other reseller.  Ideally, an OEM agreement, which provides distribution of our software product along with the manufacturers own telecommunication equipment, could produce the most widespread distribution and acceptance of our product at minimal distribution costs. Many of the OEMs have extensive and established reseller channels that could provide an avenue of distribution for our software. To effectively manage these accounts, we will need to provide these resellers with product literature, pricing, and sales leads as well as technical training and support.
 
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
 
Business development objectives at SpeechSwitch will be to focus on two primary functions as listed below:
 
 
1.
Negotiate and secure strategic alliances related to our speech recognition products; and
 
 
2.
Negotiate, secure and manage Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and reseller accounts.
 
STRATEGIC ALLIANCES
 
SpeechSwitch’s business development efforts will seek to engage and secure strategic alliances with related telecommunications businesses and professional organizations in order to develop co-marketing programs that will expand market share for our products and develop brand recognition. By entering into strategic alliances with companies that offer telecommunications devices or services to businesses or professional organizations whereby appointment setting and scheduling are of vital importance, we will seek to obtain access to an installed customer base as well as new sales opportunities of our products.  SpeechSwitch has recently entered into certain of these strategic alliances, and is currently negotiating additional strategic alliances.  To date no significant revenues have been generated as a result of any such co-marketing arrangements or alliances.
 
COMPETITION

A number of companies have developed, or are expected to develop, products that compete with our products. Our competitors include IBM, Microsoft, Philips Electronics, Intervoice, and Nuance. Our competitors may combine with each other, and other companies may enter our markets by acquiring or entering into strategic relationships with our competitors. Current and potential competitors have established, or may establish, cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the abilities of their advanced speech and language technology products to address the needs of our prospective customers.

Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, product development and marketing resources, greater name recognition and larger customer bases than we do. Our present or future competitors may be able to develop products comparable or superior to those we offer, adapt more quickly than we do to new technologies, evolving industry trends and standards or customer requirements, or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we do. Accordingly, we may not be able to compete effectively in our markets and competition may intensify and future competition may harm our business.

We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting our market include the breadth and depth of solutions, product quality and performance, core technology, product scalability and reliability, product features, customer service, the ability to implement solutions, the value of a given solution, the creation of a base of referenceable customers and the strength and breadth of reseller and channel relationships. Although we believe that our solutions currently compete favorably with respect to these factors, particularly with respect to product quality and performance, no assurance can be given that our competitors will not develop new technologies or enhancements to their existing products or introduce new products that will offer superior price or performance features. We expect our competitors to offer new and existing products at prices necessary to gain or retain market share. Certain of our competitors have substantial financial resources, which may enable them to withstand sustained price competition or a market downturn better than us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the pricing of our products, or otherwise, in the future.


SUPPLIERS

Our suppliers include Dialogic Corporation (an Intel company) that distributes through a network of resellers for voiceboards, and Hewlett-Packard, Dell, and P.C. Mall for computer hardware components. Since our products are based and run on standard PC architecture, and as result of our recent integration with TAPI, we do not rely on any one specific supplier for its system components. We have not experienced any supply shortages with respect to the components used in systems or developed applications. As is customary in the telecommunications industry, the Company produces its products from readily available components purchased from a variety of manufacturers. Printed circuit boards and housings are contracted for manufacture according to Company specifications from among many available suppliers The Company maintains no special arrangements relating to working capital items, and, as far as it is aware, this is standard in the industry.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

We regard some features of our speech recognition software and documentation to be proprietary intellectual property.  We have been and will be dependent in part on our ability to protect our proprietary technology.  We will seek to use copyright, trademarks, trade secret laws, confidentiality agreements and other measures if necessary to establish and protect our rights in our proprietary technology.  We continue to review our technologies and processes with our patent attorneys to determine if it is possible to obtain any patents or statutory copyrights on any of our proprietary technology, which we believe to be material to our future success.  If we were to file for any additional patent or copyright protection, we cannot be certain that others will not develop substantially equivalent or superseding proprietary technology before any patent or copyright protection is awarded to us.  Any provisional patent application requires that we file one or more non-provisional patent applications within 12 months from the date of filing to specify the claims asserted for patent protection.  Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any confidentiality agreements between our employees and us will provide meaningful protection of our proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure of such proprietary information.

Pursuant to a Patent Purchase Agreement, dated April 20, 2006, we completed the sale of certain United States Letters Patents and/or applications for United States Letters Patents and/or foreign patents and applications to Lamson Holdings LLC.  The patents and/or patent applications sold relate to various Voice Activated/Voice Responsive systems developed by SpeechSwitch, including item locators for retail stores utilizing various unique identifying, data gathering and organizing, as well as user feedback techniques.
 
We received net proceeds of $144,000 in 2006, after paying a commission to GlynnTech, Inc., which served as SpeechSwitch’s licensing agent and assisted in the sale of the patents. However, the Company retained the rights to market the product.
 
We have three issued U.S. patents and one pending U.S. patent application.  We believe that our patent strategy will provide a competitive advantage in our target markets, but our patents may not be broad enough to cover our competitors’ products and may be subject to invalidation claims.
 
Our first patent, for our Speech-Enabled Automatic Telephone Dialer, was issued in May 2003. This invention is a speech enabled automatic telephone dialer device system that uses a spoken name that corresponds to the name and telephone number data of computer-based address book programs.  The Speech Enabled Name Dialer imports all of the names and telephone numbers from a user’s existing Microsoft Outlook, ACT, Gold Mine or other contact management software and can automatically connect a caller with anyone the caller asks for. The caller simply picks up the phone, tells the Name Dialer the name of the person the caller wants to contact, and the Name Dialer finds the telephone number and dials for the caller.
 
Our second patent for our Speech-Enabled Automatic Telephone Dialer without the need for a Private Branch Exchange (PBX), was issued in December 2003.  Although this patent is similar to our first patent, however, the PBX requirement is circumvented through the use of software.
 
Our third patent for our Speech-Enabled Automatic Telephone Dialer Name Dialer utilizing a Telephone Application Programming Interface (TAPI), was issued on September 6, 2005.  This patent seeks to protect the use of the Name Dialer utilizing a Telephone Application Programming Interface (TAPI).  The use of TAPI allows SpeechSwitch to integrate into different telephone PBX systems, eliminating the need for additional external hardware.  Each phone system hardware provider provides a specific software driver that interfaces directly with the SpeechSwitch Name Dialer.
 
There can be no assurance that we will not become the subject of claims of infringement with respect to intellectual property rights associated with our products.  In addition, we may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights or to establish the validity of our proprietary rights.  Any such claims could be time consuming and could result in costly litigation or lead us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements rather than disputing the merits of such claims.
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION

We are subject to licensing and regulation by a number of authorities in their respective state or municipality. These may include health, safety, and fire regulations. Our operations are also subject to federal and state minimum wage laws governing such matters as working conditions and overtime.

We are not subject to any necessary government approval or license requirement in order to market, distribute or sell our principal or related products other than ordinary federal, state, and local laws, which governs the conduct of business in general. We are unaware of any pending or probable government regulations that would have any material impact on the conduct of business.
 
 
 
11

 

 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Our research and development efforts focus on enhancing our existing product line and the development of new products that integrate with our existing products. We continually seek to improve our core speech recognition technology through ease of use, broader application and increased accuracy. We employ qualified technical personnel to strengthen our product line.

For the years ending December 31, 2008 and 2007, research and development expenditures consisted of $52,057 and $77,160, respectively, in salaries and wages to technical staff and $0 in technical hardware supplies, software tool-kits and technical publications.

LICENSES

We have a worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid license from Entropic, Inc., a Microsoft company, to incorporate their speech engine into customized software applications for our customers.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2008, we had one full-time employee and one part-time employee.  None of our employees are represented by a labor organization and we are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements.  We consider our relationship with our employees generally to be good.

We have entered into employment agreements with our President and Chief Executive Officer (Mr. Knef) and our Non-Executive Chairman of the Board (Mr. Mahoney). Mr. Knef will devote substantially all of his time to SpeechSwitch. Many services that would be provided by employees are currently being provided to SpeechSwitch by iVoice under the administrative services agreement. We do not currently have any plans to hire additional personnel and we expect our current officers and directors to continue to fulfill orders received by telephone and the Internet for SpeechSwitch products. However, if SpeechSwitch can obtain funds under the equity line of credit, SpeechSwitch will be able to devote more resources to expanding its personnel.

On February 7, 2008, the Company announced that it had accepted the resignation of Jerry Mahoney as Non-Executive Chairman of the Company. From February 2008 until October 2008, the Company engaged the services to Mr. Mark Meller to act as the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board.

Within the industry, competition for key technical and management personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we can retain our future key technical and managerial employees or that, should we seek to add or replace personnel, we can assimilate or retain other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel in the future.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following important factors should be carefully considered in evaluating the Company and its business because such factors currently have a significant impact on the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS - CAUTIONARY FACTORS

This annual report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and in Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended. The statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of these terms or other similar terminology.  These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to differ from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Except for the historical information and statements contained in this Report, the matters and items set forth in this Report are forward looking statements that involve uncertainties and risks some of which are discussed at appropriate points in the Report and are also summarized as follows:

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or deemed to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the business, financial condition and/or operating results.

SpeechSwitch will face many of the difficulties that companies with limited operating history face.
 
As a result of the Company’s limited operating history, the currently difficult economic conditions of the telecommunications marketplace and the emerging nature of the speech recognition software industry, it may be difficult for you to assess our growth and earnings potential. The Company believes that due primarily to the relatively brief time its Speech Enabled Auto Attendant, Name Dialer and Speech SDK products have been available to the general public, there has not yet been developed, implemented and demonstrated a commercially viable business model from which to successfully operate any form of business that relies on the products and services that we intend to market, sell, and distribute. Therefore, we have faced many of the difficulties that companies in the early stages of their development in new and evolving markets often face, as they are described herein.  We may continue to face these and other difficulties in the future, some of which may be beyond our control. If we are unable to successfully address these problems, our future growth and earnings will be negatively affected.
 
SpeechSwitch has a limited operating history as an independent public company and may be unable to operate profitably as a stand-alone company.
 
Although iVoice has operated as a reporting public company since 2000 and has sold computerized telephony software since 1997, SpeechSwitch has a limited operating history as an independent public company. Historically, since the businesses that comprise each of SpeechSwitch and iVoice have been under one ultimate parent, they have been able to rely, to some degree, on the earnings, assets, and cash flow of each other for capital requirements. Now that the Distribution has occurred, SpeechSwitch is able to rely only on the speech recognition software business for such requirements.  iVoice operated the speech recognition software business from the first quarter of 2000 until August 5, 2005.  The speech recognition software business has operated at a loss in the past for iVoice, and as an independent company such losses may continue or increase. Additionally, SpeechSwitch’s business has relied on iVoice for financial, administrative and managerial expertise in conducting its operations.  Now that the Distribution has occurred, SpeechSwitch will maintain its own credit and banking relationships and perform its own financial and investor relations functions.  SpeechSwitch may not be able to successfully put in place the financial, administrative and managerial structure necessary to operate as an independent public company, and the development of such structure will require a significant amount of management’s time and other resources.

SpeechSwitch has received a going concern opinion from its independent auditors that describes the uncertainty regarding its ability to continue as a going concern.
 
SpeechSwitch has received a report from its independent auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 containing an explanatory paragraph that describes the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern due to its historical negative cash flow and because, as of the date of the auditors’ opinion, the Company did not have access to sufficient committed capital to meet its projected operating needs for at least the next 12 months.
 
Our financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  We have not made any adjustments to our consolidated financial statements as a result of the going concern modification to the report of our independent registered public accounting firm.  If we become unable to continue as a going concern, we could have to liquidate our assets, which means that we are likely to receive significantly less for those assets than the values at which such assets are carried on our consolidated financial statements.  Any shortfall in the proceeds from the liquidation of our assets would directly reduce the amounts, if any, that holders of our common stock could receive in liquidation.
 
There can be no assurance that management’s plans will be successful, and other unforeseeable actions may become necessary. Any inability to raise capital may require us to reduce the level of our operations. Such actions would have a material adverse effect on us, our business and operations and result in charges that would be material to our business and results of operations.
 
SpeechSwitch’s future revenue and operating results are unpredictable and may fluctuate, which could cause SpeechSwitch’s stock price to decline.
 
Our short operating history and the rapidly changing nature of the market in which we compete make it difficult to accurately forecast our revenues and operating results.  Our operating results are unpredictable and we expect them to fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors. These factors may include, among others:
 
●  
the timing of sales of our products and services, particularly in light of our minimal sales history;
 
●  
the introduction of competitive products by existing or new competitors;
 
●  
reduced demand for any given product;
 
●  
difficulty in keeping current with changing technologies;
 
●  
unexpected delays in introducing new products, new product features and services;
 
●  
increased or uneven expenses, whether related to sales and marketing, product development or administration;
 
 
 
 
14

 
 
●  
deferral of recognition of our revenue in accordance with applicable accounting principles due to the time required to complete projects;
 
●  
the mix of product license and services revenue;
 
●  
seasonality in the end-of-period buying patterns of foreign and domestic software markets;
 
●  
the market’s transition between operating systems; and
 
●  
costs related to possible acquisitions of technology or businesses.
 
 
Due to these factors, forecasts may not be achieved, either because expected revenues do not occur or because they occur at lower prices or on terms that are less favorable to us. In addition, these factors increase the chances that our results could diverge from the expectations of investors and analysts. If so, the market price of our stock would likely decline.
 
SpeechSwitch has in the past and may in the future sell additional unregistered convertible securities, possibly without limitations on the number of shares of common stock the securities are convertible into, which could dilute the value of the holdings of current stockholders and have other detrimental effects on your holdings.
 
We have relied on the private placement of convertible debentures and promissory notes to obtain working capital and may continue to do so in the future.  As of December 31, 2008, we have a convertible debenture with YA Global Investments with an outstanding balance of $921,340. This convertible debenture was derived from a note payable with YA Global Investments in the amount of $1,000,000 and converted into the convertible debenture. In addition, the Company has a Convertible promissory note of $79,936 plus accrued interest of $2,781, due to iVoice, Inc. for administrative services. The Company also has a promissory note of $71,756 and deferred compensation of $319,910 at December 31, 2008, plus deferred interest of $88,915 with Mr. Jerry Mahoney, a former director of the Company, and provides that, at Mr. Mahoney’s option, principal and interest due on the note can be converted into shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock which is convertible into the number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined by dividing the number of shares of Class B Common Stock being converted by a 20% discount of the lowest price at which SpeechSwitch had ever issued its Class A Common Stock. There is no limit upon the number of shares that we may be required to issue upon conversion of any of these obligations. The Board of Directors maintains control over the issuance of shares and may decline the request for conversion of the repayment into shares of the Company.
 
In order to obtain working capital in the future, we intend to issue additional equity securities and convertible obligations.
 
In the event that the price of our Class A Common Stock decreases, and our convertible obligations (or any other convertible obligations we may issue) are converted into shares of our Class A Common Stock:
 
●  
the percentage of shares outstanding that will be held by these holders upon conversion will increase accordingly,
 
●  
increased share issuance, in addition to a stock overhang of an indeterminable amount, may depress the price of our Class A Common Stock,
 
●  
the sale of a substantial amount of convertible debentures to relatively few holders could effectuate a possible change in control of the Company, and
 
 
 
15

 
 
●  
in the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation while the secured convertible debentures are outstanding, the holders of those securities will be entitled to a preference in distribution of our property.
 
In addition, if the market price declines significantly, we could be required to issue a number of shares of Class A Common Stock sufficient to result in our current stockholders not having an effective vote in the election of directors and other corporate matters.  In the event of a change in control of the Company, it is possible that the new majority stockholders may take actions that may not be consistent with the objectives or desires of our current stockholders.
 
We are required to convert our existing convertible obligations based upon a formula that varies with the market price of our common stock.  As a result, if the market price of our Class A Common Stock increases after the issuance of our convertible obligations, it is possible, that, upon conversion of our convertible obligations, we will issue shares of Class A Common Stock at a price that is far less than the then-current market price of our Class A Common Stock.
 
If the market price of our Class A Common Stock decreases after our issuance of any convertible obligations, upon conversion, we will have to issue an increased number of shares to the holders of our convertible obligations.  Any sale of convertible obligations may result in a very large conversion at one time.  If we do not have a sufficient number of shares to cover the conversion, we may have a risk of a civil lawsuit.

If SpeechSwitch loses the services of any key personnel, including our chief executive officer or our directors, our business may suffer.
 
We are dependent on our key officers and directors, including Bruce R. Knef, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The loss of any of our key personnel could materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to retain and train a replacement. Such a loss would also divert management attention away from operational issues.  To minimize the effects of such loss, SpeechSwitch has entered into an employment contract with Bruce Knef.  Mr. Knef’s employment agreement expired in November 2007, but he continues to work for the Company.
 
Our potential future business acquisitions may be unpredictable and may cause our business to suffer.
 
SpeechSwitch may seek to expand its operations through the acquisition of additional businesses. These potential acquired additional businesses may be outside the current field of operations of SpeechSwitch.  SpeechSwitch may not be able to identify, successfully integrate or profitably manage any such businesses or operations. The proposed expansion may involve a number of special risks, including possible adverse effects on SpeechSwitch’s operating results, diversion of management attention, inability to retain key personnel, risks associated with unanticipated events and the financial statement effect of potential impairment of acquired intangible assets, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on SpeechSwitch’s business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if competition for acquisition candidates or assumed operations were to increase, the cost of acquiring businesses or assuming customers’ operations could increase materially. The inability of SpeechSwitch to implement and manage its expansion strategy successfully may have a material adverse effect on the business and future prospects of SpeechSwitch. Furthermore, through the acquisition of additional businesses, SpeechSwitch may effect a business acquisition with a target business which may be financially unstable, under-managed, or in its early stages of development or growth. While SpeechSwitch may, under certain circumstances, seek to effect business acquisitions with more than one target business, as a result of its limited resources, SpeechSwitch, in all likelihood, will have the ability to effect only a single business acquisition at one time.  Currently, SpeechSwitch has no plans, proposals or arrangements, either orally or in writing, regarding any proposed acquisitions and is not considering any potential acquisitions.

SpeechSwitch’s industry is characterized by rapid technological change and failure to adapt our product development to these changes may cause our products to become obsolete.
 
We participate in a highly dynamic industry characterized by rapid change and uncertainty relating to new and emerging technologies and markets. Future technology or market changes may cause some of our products to become obsolete more quickly than expected.
 
SpeechSwitch stockholders may experience significant dilution if future equity offerings are used to fund operations or acquire businesses.
 
If working capital or future acquisitions are financed through the issuance of equity securities, such as through the sale of our Class A Common Stock on the terms of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with YA Global (see "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions"), iVoice Technology stockholders would experience significant dilution. In addition, the conversion of outstanding debt obligations into equity securities would have a dilutive effect on SpeechSwitch shareholders. Further, securities issued in connection with future financing activities or potential acquisitions may have rights and preferences senior to the rights and preferences of the SpeechSwitch Class A Common Stock.

If SpeechSwitch is unable to obtain funds from the equity line of credit, management believes that SpeechSwitch can limit its operations, defer payments to management and maintain its business at nominal levels until it can identify alternative sources of capital. However, there is no assurance that management will be able to obtain additional funding.

The trend toward consolidation in SpeechSwitch’s industry may impede its ability to compete effectively.
 
As consolidation in the software industry continues, fewer companies dominate particular markets, changing the nature of the market and potentially providing consumers with fewer choices. Also, many of these companies offer a broader range of products than us, ranging from desktop to enterprise solutions. We may not be able to compete effectively against these competitors. Furthermore, we may use strategic acquisitions, as necessary, to acquire technology, people and products for our overall product strategy. The trend toward consolidation in our industry may result in increased competition in acquiring these technologies, people or products, resulting in increased acquisition costs or the inability to acquire the desired technologies, people or products. Any of these changes may have a significant adverse effect on our future revenues and operating results.
 
SpeechSwitch faces intense price-based competition for licensing of its products, which could reduce profit margins.
 
Price competition is often intense in the software market, especially for computerized telephony software products. Many of our competitors have significantly reduced the price of their products. Price competition may continue to increase and become even more significant in the future, resulting in reduced profit margins.  Neither iVoice nor SpeechSwitch has experienced any pressure from price competition on the pricing of its speech recognition software products in the past, but SpeechSwitch believes that this pressure could occur in the future.
 
 
 
17

 
 
SpeechSwitch may be unsuccessful in adapting to changes in the dynamic technological environment of telecommunications in a timely manner.
 
Critical issues concerning the commercial use of telecommunications, including security, reliability, cost, ease of use, accessibility, quality of service or potential tax or other government regulation, remain unresolved and may affect the use of telecommunications as a medium to distribute or support our software products and the functionality of some of our products. If we are unsuccessful in timely assimilating changes in the telecommunications environment into our business operations and product development efforts, our future net revenues and operating results could be adversely affected.
 
SpeechSwitch may be unsuccessful in continuing existing distribution channels or in developing new distribution channels.
 
Due to our limited operating history, we currently offer products directly to end-users and through dealer and reseller channels established by iVoice.  We assumed iVoice’s relationships and contractual arrangements with these dealers and resellers.  However, there can be no assurance that these dealers and resellers will wish to continue their existing arrangements, or create new arrangements, with us.  If we cannot continue to use iVoice’s existing dealer and reseller channels, we will need to develop a new network of dealers and resellers.  However, we may not be able to effectively develop our own network of resellers and dealers to distribute our software products.  If we cannot assume iVoice’s existing distribution channels and we cannot develop our own new distribution channels, this would have a material adverse effect on us and our financial condition.  The adoption of new channels may adversely impact existing channels and/or product pricing, which may reduce our future revenues and profitability.
 
Restrictive product return policies may limit SpeechSwitch’s sales and penetration into the marketplace.
 
SpeechSwitch only permits returns from authorized dealers and resellers of unused inventory, subject to the consent of the Company and a twenty-five percent restocking fee.  End users who purchase products directly from SpeechSwitch may not return such products to SpeechSwitch under any circumstances. Such policies may deter resellers and end users from purchasing our products in a competitive and quickly evolving marketplace, and have a material adverse effect on our ability to remain competitive with similar products.  SpeechSwitch does not have any material relationship with any single distributor or reseller.
 
SpeechSwitch may depend on distribution by resellers and distributors for a significant portion of revenues.
 
We may distribute some of our products through resellers and distributors.  Direct customer sales contracts do not typically result in year-after-year business, as they are for a single fixed order of products.  We intend to assume iVoice’s existing relationships and contractual relationships with its resellers and distributors.  To effectively do so, we must establish and maintain good working relationships with these resellers and distributors. If we are unsuccessful in establishing and maintaining relationships with iVoice’s existing resellers and distributors or with new resellers and distributors, or if these resellers and distributors are unsuccessful in reselling our products, our future net revenues and operating results may be adversely affected.  SpeechSwitch does not have any material relationship with any single distributor or reseller.
 
 
 
18

 
 
The limited scope of results of SpeechSwitch’s research and development may limit the ability of SpeechSwitch to expand or maintain its sales and products in a competitive marketplace.
 
SpeechSwitch currently has no plans to engage in research and development of new products or improvements on existing technologies.  Failure to engage in such research and to develop new technologies or products or upgrades, enhancements, applications or uses for existing technologies may place SpeechSwitch at a competitive disadvantage in the marketplace for its products.  As no current research and development program currently exists within SpeechSwitch, any future research and development programs could cause us to incur substantial fixed costs which may result in such programs being prohibitively expensive to initiate without substantial additional financing being obtained on favorable terms.  Also, the lack of any current research and development program may result in an extended launch period for a research and development program at a point in our business when time is of the essence.  These delays could have a material adverse effect on the amount and timing of future revenues.
 
Such limited research and development may also adversely affect the ability of SpeechSwitch to test any new technologies that may be established in the future in order to determine if they are successful.  If they are not technologically successful, our resulting products may not achieve market acceptance and our products may not compete effectively with products of our competitors currently in the market or introduced in the future.
 
If SpeechSwitch must restructure its operations, valuable resources will be diverted from other business objectives.
 
We intend to continually evaluate our product and corporate strategy. We have in the past undertaken, and will in the future undertake, organizational changes and/or product and marketing strategy modifications. These organizational changes increase the risk that objectives will not be met due to the allocation of valuable limited resources to implement changes. Further, due to the uncertain nature of any of these undertakings, these efforts may not be successful and we may not realize any benefit from these efforts.
 
Potential software defects and product liability could result in delays in market acceptance, unexpected costs and diminished operating results.
 
Software products frequently contain errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. Defects and errors could be found in current versions of our products, future upgrades to current products or newly developed and released products. Software defects could result in delays in market acceptance or unexpected reprogramming costs, which could materially adversely affect our operating results. Most of our license agreements with customers contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential product liability claims. It is possible, however, that these provisions limiting our liability may not be valid as a result of federal, state, local or foreign laws or ordinances or unfavorable judicial decisions. A successful product liability claim may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
SpeechSwitch relies on third party technologies, which may not support SpeechSwitch products.
 
Our software products are designed to run on the Microsoft® Windows® operating system and with industry standard hardware. Although we believe that the operating systems and necessary hardware are and will be widely utilized by businesses in the corporate market, businesses may not actually adopt such technologies as anticipated or may in the future migrate to other computing technologies that we do not support.  Moreover, if our products and technology are not compatible with new developments from industry leaders such as Microsoft, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

SpeechSwitch faces aggressive competition in many areas of the business and the business will be harmed if SpeechSwitch fails to compete effectively.
 
We encounter aggressive competition from numerous competitors in many areas of our business. Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we have. We may not be able to compete effectively with these competitors. Our competition may engage in research and development to develop new products and periodically enhance existing products in a timely manner, while we have no established plan or intention to engage in any manner of research or development. We anticipate that we may have to adjust the prices of many of our products to stay competitive. In addition, new competitors may emerge, and entire product lines may be threatened by new technologies or market trends that reduce the value of these product lines. The market in which we compete is influenced by the strategic direction of major computer hardware manufacturers and operating system software providers.
 
We may not be able to access sufficient funds when needed.
 
We are dependent on external financing to fund our operations.  Our prior financing needs were, for the most part, provided through the possible sale of our Class A Common Stock on the terms of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with YA Global Investments.  This agreement expired on February 8, 2008, and was not renewed. If SpeechSwitch, Inc. cannot find sources of additional financing to fund its working capital needs, the Company will be unable to obtain sufficient capital resources to operate our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to access any financing in sufficient amounts or at all when needed. Our inability to obtain sufficient working capital funding will have an immediate material adverse effect upon our financial condition and our business.
 
Our obligations under the convertible promissory note and the secured promissory note are secured by substantially all of our assets.
 
Our obligations under the convertible promissory note with iVoice, Inc. and the secured promissory note issued to YA Global Investments are secured by substantially all of our assets.  As a result, if we default under the terms of these promissory notes, either iVoice, Inc. and/or YA Global Investments could foreclose its security interest and liquidate all of our assets.  This would cause operations to cease.
 
Jerome Mahoney, the former Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of SpeechSwitch, may have control over the management and direction of SpeechSwitch.
 
Mr. Mahoney will have the right to convert $391,666 of indebtedness and deferred compensation, together with accrued but unpaid interest of $88,915, into 480,581 shares of SpeechSwitch Class B Common Stock, which Class B Common Stock is convertible into the number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined by dividing the number of shares of Class B Common Stock being converted by a 20% discount of the lowest price at which SpeechSwitch had ever issued its Class A Common Stock.  Interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance of the note at the prime rate plus 2% per annum.  There is no limitation on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock we may be required to issue to Mr. Mahoney upon the conversion of this indebtedness.  Each share of Class B Common Stock has voting rights equal to 100 shares of Class A Common Stock.  If Mr. Mahoney converts his indebtedness into 480,581 shares of Class B Common Stock, he will have voting rights equal to 48,058,100 shares of Class A Common Stock and could gain control over the management and direction of SpeechSwitch, including the election of directors, appointment of management and approval of actions requiring the approval of stockholders. The Board has the option to pay Mr. Mahoney in Class B Common Stock. The Board of Directors maintains control over the issuance of shares and may decline the request for conversion of the repayment into shares of the Company.
 
 
 
20

 
 
In addition, Bruce Knef, our President and Chief Executive Officer, has granted an irrevocable proxy to Jerome Mahoney (or his designee) to vote and exercise all voting and related rights with respect to certain shares of our Common Stock that are owned at any time by Mr. Knef.
 
SpeechSwitch’s management team is new and its working relationships are untested.
 
We have only recently assembled our management team as part of the Distribution and changes in our operating structure. Some members of our management team have worked with each other in the past, although at this time we cannot assess the effectiveness of their working relationships after the Distribution. As a result, we may be unable to effectively develop and sell our software products and SpeechSwitch, as a business, may fail.
 
SpeechSwitch relies on intellectual property and proprietary rights which may not remain unique to SpeechSwitch.
 
We regard our software as proprietary and underlying technology as proprietary. We seek to protect our proprietary rights through a combination of confidentiality agreements and copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws.
 
We have obtained two patents and have one pending patent application on our proprietary technology that we believe to be material to our future success and may obtain additional patents in the future.  Pursuant to a Patent Purchase Agreement, dated April 20, 2006, we completed the sale of certain United States Letters Patents and/or applications for United States Letters Patents and/or foreign patents and applications to Lamson Holdings LLC.  The patents and/or patent applications sold relate to various Voice Activated/Voice Responsive systems developed by SpeechSwitch, including item locators for retail stores utilizing various unique identifying, data gathering and organizing, as well as user feedback techniques.  Our existing and future patents, if any, may be successfully challenged and may not provide us with any competitive advantages.  Although we have obtained patents and have pending patent applications, we may not be able to continue to develop proprietary products or technologies that are patentable and other parties may have prior claims.
 
In selling our products, we rely primarily on shrink-wrap licenses that are not signed by licensees. Therefore, such licenses may be unenforceable under the laws of some jurisdictions. In addition, existing copyright laws afford limited practical protection. Furthermore, the laws of some foreign countries do not offer the same level of protection of our proprietary rights as do the laws of the United States.
 
Patent, trademark and trade secret protection is important to us because developing and marketing new technologies and products is time-consuming and expensive. Although we have obtained two U.S. patents, we do not own any foreign patents or registered intellectual property. We may not be able to obtain additional issued patents or other protection from any future patent applications owned by or licensed to us.
 
Our competitive position is also dependent upon unpatented trade secrets. Trade secrets are difficult to protect. Our competitors may independently develop proprietary information and techniques that are substantially equivalent to ours or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, such as through unauthorized or inadvertent disclosure of our trade secrets.
 
There can be no assurance that our means of protecting our proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop similar technology substantially equivalent or superseding proprietary technology. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any confidentiality agreements between us and our employees will provide meaningful protection of our proprietary information, in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure thereof. As a consequence, any legal action that we may bring to protect proprietary information could be expensive and may distract management from day-to-day operations.
 
 
 
21

 
 
SpeechSwitch may become involved in future litigation, which may result in substantial expense and may divert our attention from the implementation of our business strategy.
 
We believe that the success of our business depends, in part, on obtaining intellectual property protection for our products, defending our intellectual property once obtained and preserving our trade secrets. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets and to determine the validity and scope of our proprietary rights. Any litigation could result in substantial expense and diversion of our attention from our business, and may not adequately protect our intellectual property rights.
 
In addition, we may be sued by third parties who claim that our products infringe the intellectual property rights of others. This risk is exacerbated by the fact that the validity and breadth of claims covered in technology patents involve complex legal and factual questions for which important legal principles are unresolved. Any litigation or claims against us, whether valid or not, could result in substantial costs, place a significant strain on our financial resources, divert management resources and harm our reputation. Such claims could result in awards of substantial damages, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. In addition, intellectual property litigation or claims could force us to:
 
●  
cease licensing, incorporating or using any of our products that incorporate the challenged intellectual property, which would adversely effect our revenue;
 
●  
obtain a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which license may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all; and
 
●  
redesign our products, which would be costly and time-consuming.
 
 
SpeechSwitch may incur increased expenses after the administrative services agreement with iVoice is terminated.
 
In connection with its spin-off, SpeechSwitch entered into an administrative services agreement with iVoice.  Under this agreement, iVoice is providing SpeechSwitch with services in such areas as inventory purchasing, material and inventory control, employee benefits administration, payroll, financial accounting and reporting, and other areas where SpeechSwitch needs assistance and support.  The agreement will continue after the Distribution on a month-to-month basis.  Upon termination of the agreement, SpeechSwitch will be required to obtain such services from a third party or increase its headcount to provide such services. This could be more expensive than the fees, which SpeechSwitch has been required to pay under the administrative services agreement.
 
SpeechSwitch has a material weakness in internal controls due to a limited segregation of duties, and if we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting which could harm the trading price of SpeechSwitch’s stock.
 
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud.  Inferior internal controls could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of the stock.  Management has found it necessary to limit our administrative staffing in order to conserve cash, until our level of business activity increases. As a result, there is very limited segregation of duties amongst the administrative employees, and we and our independent public accounting firm have identified this as a material weakness in the our internal controls.  Despite the limited number of administrative employees and limited segregation of duties, management believes that our administrative employees are capable of following our disclosure controls and procedures effectively.

OUR SECURITIES

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the growth and development of our business. Therefore, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends will depend on our earnings, if any, and our financial requirements.

The price of our stock may be affected by a limited trading volume and may fluctuate significantly.

There has been a limited public market for our Class A common stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for our stock will continue. An absence of an active trading market could adversely affect our stockholders' ability to sell our Class A common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. Our Class A common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations which could adversely affect the market price of our stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our Class A common stock to fluctuate substantially.

Our Class A Common Stock is deemed to be “Penny Stock,” which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares due to suitability requirements.

Our Class A common stock is deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  These requirements may reduce the potential market for our Class A common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our Class A common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline. Penny stocks are stock:

·  
With a price of less than $5.00 per share

·  
That are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange;

·  
Whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or

·  
Issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years.

Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks.  Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor.
 
 
 
23

 

 
Future sales of our Class A Common Stock could cause our stock price to decline.

The sale of a large number of our shares, or the perception that such a sale may occur, could lower our stock price. Such sales could make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and price that we consider appropriate.

Issuance of our reserved shares of Class A Common Stock may significantly dilute the equity interest of existing stockholders.

We have reserved for issuance, shares of our Class A common stock upon exercise or conversion of stock options, warrants, or other convertible securities that are presently outstanding. Issuance of these shares will have the effect of diluting the equity interest of our existing stockholders and could have an adverse effect on the market price for our Class A common stock.  As of December 31, 2008, we had all of our remaining authorized shares, approximately 8,599,903,807 shares of Class A common stock, reserved for possible future issuance.

Reports to Security Hold

The Company is a "reporting company" and it files reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In this regard, the Company files quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, annual reports on Form 10-K and as required, files reports on Form 8-K.

The public may read and copy any materials the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the Commission's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330. The Commission maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the Commission. The Internet address of the Commission's site is (http://www.sec.gov).

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

We do not own any real property.  We currently co-occupy the same space as iVoice and are subleasing from iVoice some of the office space located at 750 Highway 34, Matawan, New Jersey.  The rent payment for the sublease is currently included in the administrative services agreement.  We intend to continue subleasing such space pursuant to the administrative services agreement for the foreseeable future. We are unaware of any environmental problems in connection with this location, and, because of the nature of our activities, do not anticipate such problems.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We are subject to litigation from time to time arising from our normal course of operations. Currently, there are no open litigation matters.

DEBT

On March 30, 2007, SpeechSwitch, Inc. issued a Secured Convertible Debenture (the "Debenture") to YA Global Investments (f/k/a/ Cornell Capital Partners) (“YA Global”) for the sum of $1,000,000 in exchange for a previously issued notes payable for the same amount. The Debenture has a term of three years, and pays interest at the rate of 5% per annum. YA Global has the right to convert a portion or the entire outstanding principal into the Company's Class A Common Stock at a Conversion Price equal to eighty percent (80%) of the lowest closing Bid Price of the Common Stock during the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date. YA Global may not convert the Debenture into shares of Class A Common Stock if such conversion would result in YA Global beneficially owning in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. The Conversion Price and number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture are subject to certain exceptions and adjustment for stock splits and combinations and other dilutive events. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Debenture, the Company has the right to redeem ("Optional Redemption") a portion or all amounts outstanding under this Debenture prior to the Maturity Date at any time provided that as of the date of the Holder's receipt of a Redemption Notice (i) the Closing Bid Price of the of the Common Stock, as reported by Bloomberg, LP, is less than the Conversion Price and (ii) no Event of Default has occurred. The Company shall pay an amount equal to the principal amount being redeemed plus a redemption premium ("Redemption Premium") equal to twenty percent (20%) of the principal amount being redeemed, and accrued interest, (collectively referred to as the "Redemption Amount"). During the time that any portion of this Debenture is outstanding, if any Event of Default has occurred, the full principal amount of this Debenture, together with interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, to the date of acceleration shall become at the Holder's election, immediately due and payable in cash, provided however, the Holder may request (but shall have no obligation to request) payment of such amounts in Common stock of the Company. Furthermore, on addition to any other remedies, the Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to convert this Debenture at any time after (x) an Event of Default or (y) the Maturity Date at the Conversion Price then in-effect. The debenture is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.
 
On August 5, 2005, SpeechSwitch assumed an aggregate of $190,000 in liabilities from iVoice in exchange for an assignment from iVoice of assets having an aggregate book value of $16,800.  In connection with the assumption of assets and liabilities by SpeechSwitch from iVoice, SpeechSwitch assumed $190,000 of outstanding indebtedness from iVoice to Jerry Mahoney, subject to a promissory note having substantially the same terms as the terms applicable to the indebtedness from iVoice to Mr. Mahoney.  The promissory note bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% per annum on the unpaid balance until paid or until default.  Interest payments are due and payable annually.  Under the terms of the promissory note, at the option of the note holder, principal and interest can be converted into either (i) one share of Class B Common Stock of SpeechSwitch, par value $0.01, for each dollar owed, (ii) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock of SpeechSwitch calculated by dividing (x) the sum of the principal and interest that the note holder has requested to have prepaid by (y) eighty percent (80%) of the lowest issue price of our Class A Common Stock since the first advance of funds under this note, or (iii) payment of the principal of this note, before any repayment of interest.

The Board of Directors maintains control over the issuance of shares and may decline the request for conversion of the repayment into shares of the Company.  Unless otherwise provided, this Note may be prepaid in full or in part at any time without penalty or premium.  Partial prepayments shall be applied to installments due in reverse order of their maturity.
 

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

This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements included in this filing.

Overview
 
The Company develops, markets and licenses the lines of business relating to iVoice's Speech- Enabled Auto Attendant, Name Dialer and Speech Software Developers Kit (Speech SDK) products, which were developed by iVoice. Speech recognition is used to recognize what a person says, and through the use of natural language understanding, derives the meaning of what is said. The Company also offers a range of support services that enable its customers and channel partners to develop voice-driven applications that use the Company’s software. Our products are designed to be “people oriented”, with features that can be readily used with out special training and manuals.  Our product line of Speech SDK, incorporate this philosophy.

SpeechSwitch markets, promotes and sells its speech-enabled products primarily through telephony reseller channels.  The Company also sells direct to end users in geographic locations where an authorized reseller does not exist.  On direct sales orders, the Company is able to achieve greater profit margins through higher direct selling prices.
 
 
 
30

 

 
The Company employs one full-time employee and one part-time employee.  SpeechSwitch may seek to expand its operations through additional sales and marketing activity and the acquisition of additional businesses.  Any potential acquired additional businesses may be outside the current field of operations of SpeechSwitch.  SpeechSwitch may not be able to identify, successfully integrate or profitably manage any such businesses or operations.  Currently, SpeechSwitch has no plans, proposals or arrangements, either orally or in writing, regarding any proposed acquisitions and is not considering any potential acquisitions.

Year Ended December 31, 2008 as Compared with the Year Ended December 31, 2007
 
All revenues reported by SpeechSwitch during the period are derived from the license of our speech recognition software product installations and maintenance.  Total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2008 declined $15,122 (22%) to $53,759 from $68,881 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The low sales volume of the speech recognition software business is attributable to the minimal resources made available for the sales and marketing of the speech recognition software products.  Management feels that the sales of the speech recognition software products may increase if greater financial and operational resources are made available for the sales and marketing of the products.  See "Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

Gross margin decreased $6,975 (15.5%) to $37,990 for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $44,965 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Gross margin decreased primarily as a result of the lower sales.

Total operating expenses decreased $218,437 (35.6%) to $394,394 for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $613,371 for the year ended December 31, 2007. This decrease for the year is primarily attributable to the decreases across the board for salaries, benefits, professional fees, investor relations and research and development expenses as the Company curtails the spending due to lack of new funding.

Total other income (expense) for the year ended December 31, 2008 was an income of $1,211,397 as compared to an expense of $1,752,827 for the year ended December 31, 2007, for an increase of $2,967,224. This increase is primarily attributed to the gain on valuation of derivative offset by higher amortization of the debt discount, higher interest expense and lower other income.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $854,453 as compared to a net loss of $2,321,233 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in net income of $3,175,686 was the result of the factors discussed above.
 
As of December 31, 2008, SpeechSwitch had 1 full-time employees and 1 part-time employee.

 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
To date, SpeechSwitch has incurred substantial losses, and will require financing for working capital to meet its operating obligations. We anticipate that we will require financing on an ongoing basis for the foreseeable future.
 
On March 30, 2007, SpeechSwitch, Inc. issued a Secured Convertible Debenture (the "Debenture") to YA Global Investments (f/k/a/ Cornell Capital Partners) for the sum of $1,000,000 in exchange for a previously issued promissory note for the same amount.
 
 
 
31

 
 
On August 12, 2004, we entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with YA Global Investments (f/k/a/ Cornell Capital Partners). On February 28, 2005, the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement was terminated. On March 9, 2005, we obtained a non-binding letter of commitment from YA Global to provide a $10 million standby equity line of credit. On August 31, 2005, we entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with YA Global, which was amended and restated on December 12, 2005. Pursuant to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, we may, at our discretion, periodically sell to YA Global shares of Class A Common Stock for a total purchase price of up to $10.0 million. For each share of Class A Common Stock purchased under the equity line of credit, YA Global Investments (f/k/a/ Cornell Capital Partners) will pay 95% of the lowest closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other principal market on which our Class A Common Stock is traded during the five consecutive trading days following the date that SpeechSwitch delivers to YA Global Investments (f/k/a/ Cornell Capital Partners) a notice requiring it to advance funds to us. Further, YA Global Investments (f/k/a/ Cornell Capital Partners) will retain 6% of each advance under the equity line of credit as a commitment fee and we will pay Yorkville Advisors Management a structuring fee of five hundred dollars ($500) directly out of the gross proceeds of each advance under the equity line of credit. The sale of the shares under the equity line of credit is conditioned upon us registering the shares of Class A Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The costs associated with this registration will be borne by us. This agreement expired on February 5, 2008, and was not renewed.
 
The Company currently has no significant sources of working capital or cash commitments. No assurance can be given that SpeechSwitch will be able to raise sufficient funds, or that SpeechSwitch will be able to generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations, or that a market will develop for its common stock for which a significant amount of SpeechSwitch’s financing is dependent upon.
 
On August 5, 2005, SpeechSwitch assumed an aggregate of $190,000 in liabilities from iVoice and iVoice assigned to SpeechSwitch assets having an aggregate book value of $10,000.  SpeechSwitch believes that the fair value of these assets may be greater than the book value, although it has not undertaken an appraisal. The assumed obligations are described below.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had a net decrease in cash of $177,210.  The Company’s principal sources and uses of funds were as follows:
 
Cash used by operating activities.  The Company used $176,275 in cash for operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to using $169,658 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  This was primarily the result of reduced availability of credit by the Company’s vendors.
 
Cash provided by financing activities.  Financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 used $935 in cash as compared activities that provided $99,332 in 2007. This decrease is primarily due to the lower net proceeds from the issuance of common stock through equity financing with YA Global Investments and the repayment of notes. The Company received net proceeds of $30,065 from the issuance of common stock through the equity financing with YA Global Investments for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to net proceeds of $106,332 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

There was no significant impact on the Company’s operations as a result of inflation for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventory obsolescence, intangible assets, payroll tax obligations, and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of certain assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
 
 
32

 
 
We have identified below the accounting policies, revenue recognition and software costs, related to what we believe are most critical to our business operations and are discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operation where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
With respect to the sale of software license fees, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (SOP 97-2), as amended, and generally recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists generally evidenced by a signed, written purchase order from the customer, (2) delivery of the software product on Compact Disk (CD) or other means to the customer has occurred, (3) the perpetual license fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability, which is assessed on a customer-by-customer basis, is probable.
 
With respect to customer support services, upon the completion of one year from the date of sale, the Company offers customers an optional annual software maintenance and support agreement for subsequent one-year periods. Sales of purchased maintenance and support agreements are recorded as deferred revenues and recognized over the respective terms of the agreements.
 
The Company derives its revenues from the licensing of its software product and optional customer support (maintenance) services. Presently, 100% of the revenues reported by the Company are derived from the licensing of the Company’s speech recognition software. No revenues have been derived from the sale of optional customer support services. The Company’s standard license agreement provides for a one-time fee for use of the Company’s product in perpetuity for each computer or CPU in which the software will reside. The Company’s software application is fully functional upon delivery and implementation and does not require any significant modification or alteration. The Company also offers customers an optional annual software maintenance and support agreement for the subsequent one-year periods. Such maintenance and support services are free for the first year the product is licensed. The software maintenance and support agreement provides free software updates, if any, and technical support the customer may need in deploying or changing the configuration of the software. Generally, the Company does not license its software in multiple element arrangements whereby the customer purchases a combination of software and maintenance. In a typical arrangement, software maintenance services are sold separately from the software product; are not considered essential to the functionality of the software and are purchased at the customer’s option upon the completion of the first year licensed.
 
The Company does not offer any special payment terms or significant discount pricing. Normal and customary payment terms require payment for the software license fees when the product is shipped. Payment for software maintenance is due prior to the commencement of the maintenance period. It is also the Company’s policy not to provide direct customers (as opposed to resellers and dealers) the right to refund any portion of its license fees. The Company accepts Visa and MasterCard as well as company checks.
 
 
 
33

 
 
Customers may license the Company’s products through our telesales organization and through promotions or reseller agreements with independent third parties.  SpeechSwitch only permits returns from authorized dealers and resellers of unused inventory, subject to the consent of the Company and a twenty-five percent restocking fee.  End users who purchaser products directly from SpeechSwitch may not return such products to SpeechSwitch under any circumstances.  Accordingly, the Company records a provision for product returns and allowances against product revenue in the same period the revenue is recorded. The estimates are based on historical sales returns and other known data as well as market and economic conditions.
 
Our current products are not sold through retail distribution channels. Current reseller agreements provide for a limited contractual right of return and do not provide for future price concessions, minimum inventory commitments nor is payment contingent upon the reseller’s future sales or our products. Revenues generated from products licensed through marketing channels where the right of return exists, explicitly or implicitly, is reduced by reserves for estimated product returns. Such reserves are estimates based on returns history and current economic and market trends.
 
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
During fiscal 2008 we did not engage in any material off-balance sheet activities nor have any relationships or arrangements with unconsolidated entities established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, we have not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities nor do we have any commitment or intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.

ITEM 9A (T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of December 31, 2008.  Based on that evaluation, management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer had concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed under the securities Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective for the following reasons:

a)
The deficiency was identified as the Company's limited segregation of duties amongst the Company's employees with respect to the Company's control activities. This deficiency is the result of the Company's limited number of employees. This deficiency may affect management's ability to determine if errors or inappropriate actions have taken place. Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible changes in our disclosure controls and procedures.

b)
The deficiency was identified in respect to the Company's Board of Directors. This deficiency is the result of the Company's limited number of external board members. This deficiency may give the impression to the investors that the board is not independent from management. Management and the Board of Directors are required to apply their judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible changes in the organization of the Board of Directors.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. We were not required to have, nor have we engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform, an audit on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report. Our registered public accounting firm will be required to attest to our management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting tentatively beginning with our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Changes in internal controls.

Management of the Company has also evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, any change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in that evaluation that occurred during the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Risk factors related to controls and procedures

The Company has limited segregation of duties amongst its employees with respect to the Company's preparation and review of the Company's financial statements due to the limited number of employees, which is a deficiency in internal controls, and if the Company fails to maintain an effective system of internal controls, it may not be able to accurately report its financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in the Company's financial reporting which could harm the trading price of the Company's stock.

Management has found it necessary to limit the Company's administrative staffing in order to conserve cash, until the Company's level of business activity increases. As a result, there is very limited segregation of duties amongst the administrative employees, and the Company and its independent public accounting firm have identified this as a deficiency in the Company's internal controls. The Company intends to remedy this deficiency by hiring additional employees and reallocating duties, including responsibilities for financial reporting, among the employees as soon as there are sufficient resources available. However, until such time, this deficiency will continue to exist. Despite the limited number of administrative employees and limited segregation of duties, management believes that the Company's administrative employees are capable of following its disclosure controls and procedures effectively.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

At various times during 2008, Mr. Mahoney, Mr. Meller and Mr. Knef served on the Audit Committee. At December 31, 2008, the Audit Committee consisted solely of Mr. Knef.  The Audit Committee has no independent members and no member that may deemed a financial expert as defined in §228.401(e) of the regulations promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Company at present due to its size, cannot attract a financial expert to sit on its Board of Directors.  Management is responsible for the Company’s internal controls and the financial reporting process. The independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and to issue a report thereon and as to management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes, although the members of the Audit Committee are not engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting.  The Audit Committee did not meet in 2008. The Board of Directors approved an Audit Committee Charter on March 23, 2006. As of this date, the Audit Committee operates pursuant to this Audit Committee Charter.


CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
 
Director Independence
 
As of the date of this filing, SpeechSwitch’s board of directors currently consists of Kenneth P. Glynn. Mr. Glynn is not considered an “independent director” as such term is defined in Section 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.

Audit Committee
 
As of the date of this filing, SpeechSwitch’s audit committee currently consists of Mr. Glynn. Mr. Glynn is not considered an “independent member” of the audit committee under the independence standards set forth in Section 4350(d)(2) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.

Nominating Committee

The Company does not have a standing nominating committee or a committee performing similar functions, as the Board of Directors consists of only one member.  Due to the Company’s size, it finds it difficult to attract individuals who would be willing to accept membership on the Company’s Board of Directors.  Therefore, with only one member of the Board of Directors, the full Board of Directors would participate in nominating candidates to the Board of Directors.  The Company did not have an annual meeting of shareholders in the past fiscal year.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

As the Company has no class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) there was no required to file Forms 3,4 or 5, as required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Code of Ethics
 
 
The Board of Directors adopted a Code of Ethics for its chief executive officer and chief financial officer and is attached to this Report as an exhibit. The Code of Ethics will be provided to any person without charge, upon request. Requests should be directed to the Investor Relations Department at the Company's corporate headquarters.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS

Jerome R. Mahoney

SpeechSwitch entered into a five-year employment agreement with Mr. Mahoney as of August 1, 2004.  Mr. Mahoney will serve as SpeechSwitch’s Non-Executive Chairman of the Board for a term of five years.  As consideration, SpeechSwitch agreed to pay Mr. Mahoney the sum of $85,000 the first year with an annual increase based on the Consumer Price Index every year thereafter.  SpeechSwitch also agreed to pay Mr. Mahoney a bonus for each merger or acquisition completed by the Company equal to six percent (6%) of the gross consideration paid or received by SpeechSwitch in a merger or acquisition completed by the Company during the term of the agreement.  This bonus would be payable in the form of cash, debt or shares of our Class B Common Stock at the option of Mr. Mahoney.
 
In the event Mr. Mahoney’s employment agreement is terminated by SpeechSwitch for cause or due to Mr. Mahoney’s disability or retirement, SpeechSwitch will pay him his full base salary for five years from the date of termination at the highest salary level under the agreement. Under his agreement, “cause” means (1) the willful and continued failure of Mr. Mahoney to substantially perform his duties to the Company after written demand for such performance is delivered to Mr. Mahoney by the Company’s board of directors, (2) the willful engaging by Mr. Mahoney in conduct that is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise, (3) the conviction of Mr. Mahoney of a felony, which is limited solely to a crime that relates to the business operations of the Company or that results in his being unable to substantially carry out his duties as set forth in the agreement, or (4) the commission of any act by Mr. Mahoney against the Company that may be construed as embezzlement, larceny, and/or grand larceny.  However, Mr. Mahoney will not be deemed to have been terminated for cause unless the board of directors determines, by a vote of at least 75% of the members of the board of directors that Mr. Mahoney was guilty of conduct described in items (1), (2) or (4) above.  As the board of directors consists solely of Mr. Mahoney and Mr. Knef, Mr. Mahoney, pursuant to his employment agreement, would be required to recuse himself from any discussions or vote regarding any potential termination, Mr. Knef would be required to determine, in accordance with his fiduciary duties as a board member, if Mr. Mahoney should be terminated for cause.
 
In the event Mr. Mahoney’s employment agreement is terminated due to Mr. Mahoney’s death, SpeechSwitch will pay to his estate his full base salary for eight years from the date of termination at the highest salary level under the agreement. In the event Mr. Mahoney’s employment agreement is terminated by SpeechSwitch within three years following a change in control, as defined in the employment agreement, or by Mr. Mahoney for good reason within three years following a change in control, Mr. Mahoney will be entitled to receive a severance payment equal to three hundred percent (300%), less $100, of the average amount of his gross income for services rendered to SpeechSwitch in each of the five prior calendar years (or shorter period during which Mr. Mahoney shall have been employed by SpeechSwitch).  Under his employment agreement, “good reason” means, among other things, (1) any limitation on Mr. Mahoney’s powers as Chairman of the Board, (2) a reduction in compensation, (3) a relocation of the Company outside New Jersey or (4) the failure of the Company to make any required payments under the agreement.  The employment agreement restricts Mr. Mahoney from competing with SpeechSwitch during the term of the agreement and for one year after he is no longer employed by the Company; provided that Mr. Mahoney is receiving severance or other compensation from the Company pursuant to the employment agreement for at least one year.

In the event Mr. Knef’s employment agreement is terminated due to his death or disability or by SpeechSwitch with or without cause, Mr. Knef will receive the portion of his salary earned up until the date of his termination. Under his agreement, “cause” means (1) any material breach of the agreement by Mr. Knef, (2) Mr. Knef’s failure to perform his duties under the employment agreement to the reasonable satisfaction of the board of directors, (3) any material act, or material failure to act, by Mr. Knef in bad faith and to the material detriment of the Company, (4) commission of a material act involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, unethical business conduct, or any other conduct which significantly impairs the reputation of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates or (5) the conviction of Mr. Knef of a felony.  The employment agreement restricts Mr. Knef from competing with SpeechSwitch during the term of the agreement and for eighteen months after he is no longer employed by the Company.
 
On April 15, 2009, the Company accepted the resignation of Mr. Knef as president and CEO or the Company. In addition, on June 17, 2009, the Company accepted the resignation of Mr. Knef as a member of the Board of Directors.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

On August 5, 2005, SpeechSwitch assumed an aggregate of $190,000 in liabilities from iVoice and iVoice assigned to SpeechSwitch assets having an aggregate book value of $16,800. The assumed obligations are described below.

In connection with the assumption of assets and liabilities by SpeechSwitch from iVoice, SpeechSwitch assumed from iVoice $190,000 of outstanding indebtedness from iVoice to Jerry Mahoney. The debt is subject to a promissory note having substantially the same terms as the terms applicable to the indebtedness from iVoice to Mr. Mahoney. On August 5, 2005, SpeechSwitch, issued a promissory note in the amount of $190,000 payable to Mr. Mahoney that bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% per annum on the unpaid balance until paid or until default. Interest payments are due and payable annually. Under the terms of the promissory note, at the option of the note holder, principal and interest can be converted into either (i) one share of Class B Common Stock of SpeechSwitch, par value $0.01, for each dollar owed, (ii) the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock of SpeechSwitch calculated by dividing (x) the sum of the principal and interest that the note holder has requested to have prepaid by (y) eighty percent (80%) of the lowest issue price of our Class A Common Stock since the first advance of funds under this note, or (iii) payment of the principal of this note, before any repayment of interest. There is no limitation on the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock we may be required to issue to Mr. Mahoney upon the conversion of this indebtedness. The Board of Directors maintains control over the issuance of shares and may decline the request for conversion into shares of the Company.
 
Mr. Mahoney agreed to forego receiving any shares of SpeechSwitch’s Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock he would otherwise have been entitled to receive in the Distribution by virtue of his ownership of either iVoice Class A Common Stock or iVoice Class B Common Stock.

SpeechSwitch entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Knef, its President and Chief Executive Officer, respectively, as of November 8, 2004. SpeechSwitch agreed to pay Mr. Knef incentive compensation based on the amount of total revenues collected by SpeechSwitch.  If SpeechSwitch records and collects total revenues in an amount greater than $300,000 but less than $2,000,000, Mr. Knef will receive a bonus equal to 7.5% of the total revenues of the Company.  If SpeechSwitch records and collects total revenues in an amount greater than $2,000,000, in addition to the 7.5% bonus, Mr. Knef will also receive a bonus equal to 3.5% of the total revenues of the Company in excess of $2,000,000.  However, if the Company’s pre-tax profit margin for the year is less than 35%, Mr. Knef’s aggregate bonus will be reduced by 35%.  Pursuant to an amendment to the employment agreement entered into on November 22, 2006, SpeechSwitch also agreed to pay Mr. Knef additional compensation of $15,000 annually, which is payable in quarterly disbursements of the Company’s Class A common stock issued under the 2005 Directors’ and Officers’ Stock Incentive Plan. SpeechSwitch believes that the compensation provided to Mr. Knef is commensurate with compensation levels paid by other companies to management having equivalent experiences and capabilities. See “SpeechSwitch’s Directors and Executive Officers - Employment Agreements” for additional information regarding the terms of the employment agreements with Mr. Knef.
 
On March 5, 2008, the Company converted its outstanding accounts payable to iVoice, Inc. for unpaid administrative services in the amount of $79,936 into a convertible promissory note at the rate of prime plus 1 percent per annum. Additional amounts may be added to this note based on any unpaid administrative services, and will accrue interest at the above specified rate from date of advance until paid. The principal and interest shall be due and payable as follows: (a) interest shall accrue monthly on the unpaid balance and shall be paid annually, and (b) principal shall be payable on demand.

iVoice, Inc. may elect payment of the principal and/or interest, at the its sole discretion, owed pursuant to this Note by requiring the Company  to issue to iVoice, or his assigns either: (i) one Class B common stock share of the Company par value $.01 per share, for each dollar owed, (ii) the number of Class A common stock shares of the Company calculated by dividing (x) the sum of the principal and interest that the Note holder has decided to  have paid by (y) eighty percent (80%) of the lowest issue price of Class A common stock since the first advance of funds under this Note, or (iii), payment of the principal of this Note, before any repayment of interest. The Board of Directors maintains control over the issuance of shares and may decline the request for conversion into shares of the Company.
 
Unless otherwise provided, this Note may be prepaid in full or in part at any time without penalty or premium.  Partial prepayments shall be applied to installments due in reverse order of their maturity.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2008 and 2007
 
 
NOTE 1 - BACKGROUND
 
SpeechSwitch, Inc. (“SpeechSwitch” or “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of New Jersey on November 10, 2004 as a wholly owned subsidiary of iVoice, Inc. ("iVoice").  The Company received by assignment all of the interests in and rights and title to, and assumed all of the obligations of, all of the agreements, contracts, understandings and other instruments of iVoice Technology 3, Inc., a Nevada corporation and affiliate of the Company.  When we refer to or describe any agreement, contract or other written instrument of the Company in these notes, we may also be referring to an agreement, contract or other written instrument that had been entered into by iVoice Technology 3 and thereafter assigned to the Company.

In September 2004, the Board of Directors of iVoice, Inc., the former parent of the Company, resolved to pursue the separation of iVoice software business into three publicly owned companies.  SpeechSwitch intends to continue to develop, market and license the automated speech attendant software, which runs on industry-standard hardware and performs speech recognition.

The Spin-off transaction was accomplished, on August 5, 2005, by the assignment, contribution and conveyance of certain intellectual property, representing the software codes of speech recognition, and certain accrued liabilities and related party debt into SpeechSwitch (the "Spin-off").  The Class A Common Stock shares of the Company were distributed to iVoice shareholders in the form of a taxable special dividend distribution.

In conjunction with the Spin-off, SpeechSwitch entered into a temporary administrative service agreement with iVoice.  This agreement will continue on a month-to-month basis until such time as we are able to replace any or all of the services currently being provided by iVoice.

On August 5, 2005, SpeechSwitch assumed $190,000 in accrued liabilities and related party debt incurred by iVoice.  The debt assumed is convertible into SpeechSwitch Class B Common Stock at the option of the holder as later described in these notes.

On August 4, 2005, the Company received notice from the SEC that the registration statement to effectuate the Spin-off of the SpeechSwitch from iVoice was declared effective and the Company immediately embarked on the process to spin off the SpeechSwitch from iVoice.

NOTE 2 - BUSINESS OPERATIONS
 
The Company develops, markets and licenses the lines of business relating to iVoice's Speech- Enabled Auto Attendant, Name Dialer and Speech Software Developers Kit (Speech SDK) products, which were developed by iVoice. Speech recognition is used to recognize what a person says, and through the use of natural language understanding, derives the meaning of what is said. The Company also offers a range of support services that enable its customers and channel partners to develop voice-driven applications that use the Company’s software. Our products are designed to be “people oriented”, with features that can be readily used with out special training and manuals.  Our product line of Speech SDK, incorporate this philosophy. SpeechSwitch markets, promotes and sells its speech-enabled products primarily through telephony reseller channels.  The Company also sells direct to end users in geographic locations where an authorized reseller does not exist.  On direct sales orders, the Company is able to achieve greater profit margins through higher direct selling prices.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2008 and 2007

 
The Company employs one full-time employee and one part-time employee.  SpeechSwitch may seek to expand its operations through additional sales and marketing activity and the acquisition of additional businesses.  Any potential acquired additional businesses may be outside the current field of operations of SpeechSwitch.  SpeechSwitch may not be able to identify, successfully integrate or profitably manage any such businesses or operations.  Currently, SpeechSwitch has no plans, proposals or arrangements, either orally or in writing, regarding any proposed acquisitions and is not considering any potential acquisitions.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has relied on iVoice, Inc. for administrative, management, research and other services.
 
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had a negative cash flow from operations, negative working capital and limited availability to raise new capital.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Therefore, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn, is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise capital and/or generate positive cash flow from operations.
 
Management plans on developing new products and increasing their sales to existing customers, to achieve profitability and to generate a positive cash flow. However, these plans are dependent upon obtaining additional capital.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
 
NOTE 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
a) Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying financial statements included herein have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
 

b) Use of Estimates

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

c) Revenue Recognition
 
The Company derives its revenues from the licensing of its software product and optional customer support (maintenance) service.  The Company's standard license agreement provides for a one-time fee for use of the Company's product in perpetuity for each computer or CPU in which the software will reside.  The Company's software application is fully functional upon delivery and implementation and does not require any significant modification or alteration.  The Company also offers customers an optional annual software maintenance and support agreement for the subsequent one-year periods.  Such maintenance and support services are free for the first year the product is licensed and is considered the warranty period.  The software maintenance and support agreement provides free software updates, if any, and technical support the customer may need in deploying or changing the configuration of the software.  Generally, the Company does not license its software in multiple element arrangements whereby the customer purchases a combination of software and maintenance.  In a typical arrangement, software maintenance services are sold separately from the software product; are not considered essential to the functionality of the software and are purchased at the customer's option upon the completion of the first year licensed.
 
The Company does not offer any special payment terms or significant discount pricing.  Normal and customary payment terms require payment for the software license fees when the product is shipped.  Payment for software maintenance is due prior to the commencement of the maintenance period.  It is also the Company's policy to not provide customers the right to refund any portion of its license fees.  With respect to the sale of software license fees, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (SOP 97-2), as amended, and generally recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists generally evidenced by a signed, written purchase order from the customer, (2) delivery of the software product on Compact Disk (CD) or other means to the customer has occurred, (3) the perpetual license fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectibility, which is assessed on a customer-by-customer basis, is probable.
 
With respect to customer support services, upon the completion of one year from the date of sale, considered to be the warranty period, the Company offers customers an optional annual software maintenance and support agreement for subsequent one-year periods.  Sales of purchased maintenance and support agreements are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized over the respective terms of the agreements.
 
Due to the nature of the business and one-time contracts, it is unlikely that any one customer will impact revenues in future periods.

d) Product Warranties
 
The Company estimates its warranty costs based on historical warranty claims experience in estimating potential warranty claims.  Due to the limited sales of the Company's products, management has determined that warranty costs are immaterial and has not included an accrual for potential warranty claims.  Presently, costs related to warranty coverage are expensed as incurred.  Warranty claims are reviewed quarterly to verify that warranty liabilities properly reflect any remaining obligation based on the anticipated expenditures over the balance of the obligation period.
 
e) Research and development costs
 
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.
 
f) Advertising Costs
 
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling expenses.  For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, advertising expense amounted to $541 and $1,914, respectively.

g)  Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2008 and 2007.

h) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FAS") No. 109.  Under FAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under FAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
i) Organization Costs
 
Organization costs consist primarily of professional and filing fees relating to the formation of the Company.  These costs have been expensed.
 
j) Intangible Assets
 
In May and December 2003, the Company was issued two patents by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its Speech-Enabled Automatic Telephone Dialer.  The patents expire 20 years from the date of the original patent filings.  All accumulated costs incurred with respect to the Company's patent filings have been capitalized.  Costs related specifically to the awarded patents are now being amortized on a straight basis over the life of the patents.  All capitalized intangibles have been reviewed for impairment.  In doing so, management has determined there has been no impairment of the intangible assets at December 31, 2008.

k) Income (loss) per Share
 
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share available to common stockholders is presented in conformity with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.”  The Company’s basic income (loss) per common share is based on net income or loss for the relevant period, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted income or loss per common share is based on net income or loss, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, including common share equivalents, such as outstanding stock options.  Diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2007 does not include common stock equivalents, as these shares would be anti-dilutive. The computation of diluted loss per share also does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities due to the beneficial conversion of related party accounts as these shares that would have an anti-dilutive effect.
 
The computation of income (loss) per share is as follows:
 
   
December 31, 2008
   
December 31, 2007
 
Basic net income (loss) per share computation:
           
  Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders
  $ 854,453     $ (2,321,233 )
  Weighted-average common shares outstanding
    1,043,665,103       105,265,140  
  Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common
       stockholders
  $ 0.00     $ (0.02 )
                 
Diluted net income (loss) per share computation:
               
  Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders
  $ 854,453     $ (2,321,233 )
  Weighted-average common shares outstanding
    1,043,665,103       105,265,140  
  Incremental shares attributable to the assumed conversion
    of convertible debenture and convertible promissory note
    8,856,334,897         --  
  Weighted-average common shares outstanding
    10,000,000,000       105,265,140  
  Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common
       stockholders
  $ 0.00     $ (0.02 )

The Company had common stock equivalents in excess of its authorized capital at December 31, 2008, so the maximum authorized shares of 10,000,000,000 are shown for diluted earnings per common share calculations. The Company had common stock equivalents of 10,901,903,565 at December 31, 2008.

l) Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable and cash.  As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company believes it has no significant risk related to its concentration within its accounts receivable.

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at a financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. The uninsured cash balances at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $0 and $85,581, respectively.

m)    Derivative Liabilities

During April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."  SFAS 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The statement requires that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly and clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows.  SFAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except in certain circumstances, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 include the recognition of the derivative liability on the underlying securities issuable upon conversion of the YA Global Investments (“YA Global”) Convertible Debentures and iVoice Convertible Promissory Notes.

n)    Fair Value of Instruments

The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at December 31, 2008 and 2007, as defined in FAS 107, does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying balance sheets. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value, and accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

o)    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurement" ("SFAS No. 157"). This standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. Prior to SFAS No. 157, the methods for measuring fair value were diverse and inconsistent, especially for items that are not actively traded. The standard clarifies that for items that are not actively traded, such as certain kinds of derivatives, fair value should reflect the price in a transaction with a market participant, including an adjustment for risk, not just the company's mark-to-model value. SFAS No. 157 also requires expanded disclosure of the effect on earnings for items measured using unobservable data. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

DECEMBER 31, 2008 and 2007

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans -- An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R." This standard requires an employer to: (a) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan's over funded status or a liability for a plan's underfunded status; (b) measure a plan's assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer's fiscal year (with limited exceptions); and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur. Those changes will be reported in comprehensive income. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer's fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 158 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-3 "Accounting for Nonrefundable Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities" (EITF 07-3), requiring that nonrefundable advance payments for future research and development activities be deferred and capitalized. Such amounts should be expensed as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of EITF 07-3 did not have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 06-11 "Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards" (EITF 06-11), which requires entities to record tax benefits on dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings for certain share-based awards to additional paid-in capital. In a share-based payment arrangement, employees may receive dividends or dividend equivalents on awards of non-vested equity shares, non-vested equity share units during the vesting period, and share options until the exercise date. Generally, the payment of such dividends can be treated as deductible compensation for tax purposes. The amount of tax benefits recognized in additional paid-in capital should be included in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies on share-based payment awards. EITF 06-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, and interim periods within those years. The adoption of EITF 06-11 did not have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”).  SFAS 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and the amount of consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated financial statements within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. It also requires once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 will be effective beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 160 will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAC No 141(R), “Business Combinations.”  This statement provides new accounting guidance and disclosure requirements for business combinations.  SFAS No 141(R) is effective for business combinations which occur in the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB finalized the provisions of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements.”  This EITF Issue provides guidance and requires financial statement disclosures for collaborative arrangements.  EITF Issue No. 07-1 is effect for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The Company is currently assessing the effect of EITF Issue No. 07-1 on its financial statements, but it is not expected to be material.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"), which clarifies the definition of fair value whenever another standard requires or permits assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Specifically, the standard clarifies that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. SFAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances, and must be applied on a prospective basis except in certain cases. The standard also requires expanded financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements, including disclosure of the methods used and the effect on earnings.
 
In February 2008, FASB Staff Position ("FSP") FAS No. 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" ("FSP No. 157-2") was issued. FSP No. 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Examples of items within the scope of FSP No. 157-2 are nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination (but not measured at fair value in subsequent periods), and long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and intangible assets measured at fair value for an impairment assessment under SFAS No. 144.

The partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008 with respect to financial assets and financial liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis had a material impact on the Company's financial statements. See Note 4 for the fair value measurement disclosures for these assets and liabilities. The Company is in the process of analyzing the potential impact of SFAS No. 157 relating to its planned January 1, 2009 adoption of the remainder of the standard.
 
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, which are not otherwise currently required to be measured at fair value. Under SFAS No. 159, the decision to measure items at fair value is made at specified election dates on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. Entities electing the fair value option are required to recognize changes in fair value in earnings and to expense upfront costs and fees associated with the item for which the fair value option is elected. The new standard did not impact the Company's consolidated financial statements, as the Company did not elect the fair value option for any instruments existing as of the adoption date. However, the Company will evaluate the fair value measurement election with respect to financial instruments the Company enters into in the future.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”), which modifies and expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities.  SFAS 161 requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation and requires quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts and gains and losses on derivative instruments.  It also requires disclosures about credit-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged.  SFAS 161 encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption.  The adoption of SFAS 161 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and adds certain disclosures for an entity’s accounting policy of the treatment of the costs, period of extension, and total costs incurred.  FSP 143-3 must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after January 1, 2009.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact that FSP 142-3 will have on its financial position or results of operations.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued FAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“FAS 162”). This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in accordance with GAAP. With the issuance of this statement, the FASB concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed toward the entity and not its auditor, and reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB as opposed to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The adoption of FAS 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results from operations or financial position.

In June 2008, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 08-3, “Accounting by Lessees for Nonrefundable Maintenance Deposits” (“EITF 08-3”). This statement provides guidance for accounting for nonrefundable maintenance deposits. It also provides revenue recognition accounting guidance for the lessor.

NOTE 5  - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements"("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, provides a consistent framework for measuring fair value under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and expands fair value financial statement disclosure requirements. SFAS 157's valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. SFAS 157 classifies these inputs into the following hierarchy:

              Level 1 Inputs- Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
              Level 2 Inputs- Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets;
                            quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are
                            not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or
                            whose significant value drivers are observable.
              Level 3 Inputs- Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.

 
The following table represents the fair value hierarchy for those financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

NOTE 6 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets consist of accumulated costs incurred with respect to the Company’s patent filings originally paid for by iVoice for $24,000 in May and December 2003. These assets were valued at $16,800 at the date of the spin-off from iVoice, Inc.  Additional filing costs of $225 were capitalized on August 26, 2005. These assets are reflected at cost, net of accumulated amortization of $14,710.  The net value of intangible assets was $2,315 and $5,720 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

In accordance with FAS 142 goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amounts of the assets may be impaired.  We have elected to perform our impairment review during the fourth quarter of each year, in conjunction with our annual planning cycle.  The Company has determined no impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets was necessary at December 31, 2008.

NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In conjunction with the Spin-off, SpeechSwitch has entered into a temporary administrative services agreement with iVoice.  The administrative services agreement will continue on a month-to-month basis until SpeechSwitch has found replacement services for those services being provided by iVoice or can provide these services for itself. Administrative services were $50,952 and $50,652, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

The Company also assumed an outstanding promissory note in the amount of $190,000 payable to Jerry Mahoney, President and Chief Executive Officer of iVoice and was previously the non-executive Chairman of the Board of SpeechSwitch.  This amount is related to funds loaned to iVoice and is unrelated to the operations of SpeechSwitch.  The note will bear interest at the rate of Prime plus 2.0% per annum on the unpaid balance until paid.  Under the terms of the Promissory Note, at the option of the Promissory Note holder, principal and interest can be converted into either (i) one share of SpeechSwitch Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, for each dollar owed, (ii) the number of shares of SpeechSwitch Class A Common Stock calculated by dividing (x) the sum of the principal and interest that the Note holder has requested to have prepaid by (y) eighty percent (80%) of the lowest issue price of Class A Common Stock since the first advance of funds under this Note, or (iii) payment of the principal of this Promissory Note, before any repayment of interest. During the year ended December 31, 2008, Mr. Mahoney received 196,000,000 shares of Class A common stock as a repayment of $21,512 and received cash payments of $31,000 to reduce the promissory note.

SpeechSwitch, Inc. has entered into a temporary administrative services agreement with iVoice. The administrative services agreement will continue on a month-to-month basis until SpeechSwitch has found replacement services for those services being provided by iVoice or can provide these services for itself. In March 2008, the administrative services agreement was amended to provide that accrued and unpaid administrative services shall be aggregated and converted into a Convertible Promissory Note. The principal and interest shall be due and payable as follows: (a) interest shall accrue monthly on the unpaid balance and shall be paid annually, and (b) principal shall be payable on demand.

On March 5, 2008, the Company converted its outstanding accounts payable to iVoice, Inc. for unpaid administrative services in the amount of $50,652 into a convertible promissory note at the rate of prime plus 1 percent per annum. Additional amounts may be added to this note based on any unpaid administrative services, and will accrue interest at the above specified rate from date of advance until paid. For the period ended December 31, 2008, unpaid administrative services in the amount of $42,210 were added to the original convertible promissory note of $50,652.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued 151,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a fair value of $18,875 to reduce the convertible promissory note in the amount of $12,080. The difference in the market value and the convertible promissory note reduction was charged to beneficial interest in the amount of $6,795.

As of December 31, 2008, the outstanding balance on the Convertible Promissory Note was $79,936.

Unless otherwise provided, this Note may be prepaid in full or in part at any time without penalty or premium. Partial prepayments shall be applied to installments due in reverse order of their maturity.

In the event of (a) default in payment of any installment of principal or interest hereof as the same becomes due and such default is not cured within ten (10) days from the due date, or (b) default under the terms of any instrument securing this Note, and such default is not cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice to maker, then in either such event the holder may, without further notice, declare the remainder of the principal sum, together with all interest accrued thereon, and the prepayment premium, if any, at once due and payable. Failure to exercise this option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same at any other time. The unpaid principal of this Note and any part thereof, accrued interest and all other sums due under this Note shall bear interest at the rate of prime plus 2 percent per annum after default until paid.

The promissory note holders have a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", ("FASB 133"), the Company determined that the conversion feature of the Debenture met the criteria of an embedded derivative, and therefore the conversion feature of this Debenture needed to be bifurcated and accounted for as a  derivative. The fair value of the embedded conversion was estimated at the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate: 5.6%; expected dividend yield: 0%: expected life: 5 years; and volatility: 263.04%. The accounting guidance instructs that the conversion options are a derivative liability. At March 5, 2008 the Company recorded the conversion options as a liability of $118,182, recorded a debt discount of $50,652, and charged Other Expense - Loss on Valuation of Derivative for $67,530, resulting primarily from calculation of the conversion price. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded a Loss on Valuation of Derivative in the amount of $37,827. The fair value of the embedded conversion was estimated at the December 31, 2008 using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate: 2.25%; expected dividend yield: 0%: expected life: 4.17 years; and volatility: 174.18%.

As such, in March 2007 the Company recorded the conversion options as a liability, recorded a debt discount of $1,000,000, and charged Other Expense - Loss on Valuation of Derivative for $124,479, resulting primarily from calculation of the conversion price.
