Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

ARTISTdirect, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a digital media entertainment company that, through its ARTISTdirect Internet Group, Inc. subsidiary, conducts its media and e-commerce business operations through an online music network and, through its MediaDefender, Inc. subsidiary, is a leading provider of anti-piracy solutions in the Internet-piracy-protection (“IPP”) industry. The ARTISTdirect Network consists of the Company’s flagship website (www.artistdirect.com) and a network of related music and entertainment websites appealing to music fans, artists and marketing partners that offers multi-media content, music news and information, communities organized around shared music interests, music-related specialty commerce, and digital music services. The Company is headquartered in Santa Monica, California. Unless the context indicates otherwise, ARTISTdirect, Inc. and its subsidiaries are referred to herein as the “Company”.

Going Concern:

As a result of communications with the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2006, in particular regarding the application of accounting rules and interpretations related to embedded derivatives associated with the Company’s subordinated convertible notes payable issued in July 2005, the Company determined that it was necessary to restate previously issued financial statements.

As a result, in December 2006, the Company was required to suspend the use of its then effective registration statement for the holders of its senior and subordinated indebtedness. In addition to this initial default, the Company has since entered into other events of default which continue to be in effect as of March 31, 2008. During 2007 and 2008, the Company entered into a series of forbearance agreements with the investors in the senior notes with respect to these defaults.

As a result of the requirement to restate previously issued financial statements, which resulted in the recording of an embedded derivative liability, the reclassification of the senior and subordinated indebtedness to current liabilities, and the recording of liquidated damages payable under registration rights agreements, the Company was not in compliance with certain of its financial covenants under both the Senior Financing and the Sub-Debt Financing at December 31, 2006. Notwithstanding such developments, the Company would have been out of compliance with certain of its financial covenants at December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008.

Pursuant to a series of Forbearance and Consent Agreements with the investors in the Senior Financing, such investors agreed to forbear from the exercise of their rights and remedies under the Senior Financing documents as a result of the events of default which were then in existence during the period, from April 17, 2007 through February 20, 2008, in exchange for aggregate cash payments of $1,000,000 in 2007 and $494,423 in February 2008. The payments made by the Company under the Forbearance and Consent Agreements were credited against the registration delay cash penalties and interest on the penalties resulting from the Company’s default under the various agreements between the Company and the Senior Financing investors. On March 17, 2008, the Company entered into a Forbearance and Consent Agreement with the investors in the Company’s Senior Debt Financing, which was effective as of February 20, 2008, whereby the investors agreed to forbear from exercising any of their rights and remedies under the Senior Financing transaction documents through December 31, 2008 in exchange for an adjustment in the interest rate associated with the Senior Notes from 11.25% to 15.0% per annum, provided the loan is repaid prior to September 30, 2008, or 16.0% per annum (retroactive to February 20, 2008), if the loan remains outstanding subsequent to that date.

The registration delay penalties and ongoing default interest charges are continuing to have a significant and material negative impact on the Company’s operations and cash flows. The Company is exploring various alternatives to resolve the defaults under its senior and secured debt obligations, but is unable to predict the outcome of such negotiations. On February 7, 2008, the Company retained the services of Salem Partners, LLC to serve as a financial advisor to the Company in connection with the sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination and the restructuring of the material terms of the Company’s senior notes and/or subordinated convertible notes. To the extent that the Company is unable to complete a sale or merger or restructure its senior and subordinated debt obligations in a satisfactory manner and/or the lenders begin to exercise additional remedies to enforce their rights, the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to maintain its operations. In such event, the Company may be required to consider a formal or informal restructuring or reorganization, including a filing under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s 2007 consolidated financial statements, expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Principles of Consolidation:

The accompanying condensed financial statements include the consolidated accounts of ADI and its subsidiaries in which it has controlling financial interests. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated for all periods presented.

Interim Financial Information:

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management of the Company, contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position at March 31, 2008, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to interim financial statements, although management of the Company believes that the disclosures contained in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented therein not misleading. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.

Estimates:

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the more significant estimates include the allowance for bad debts, impairment of intangible assets and long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, income tax accruals, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and the change in fair value of the warrant liability and derivative liability. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Reclassification:

Certain amounts have been reclassified from their presentation in 2007 to conform to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications did not have any effect on income (loss) from operations or net income (loss).

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share:

The Company calculates net income (loss) per common share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”), and EITF 03-6, “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128”. EITF 03-6 clarifies the use of the “two-class” method of calculating earnings per share as originally prescribed in SFAS No. 128 and provides guidance on how to determine whether a security should be considered a “participating security”.

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is as follows (amounts in thousands, except for share data):

Stock-Based Compensation:

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”), a revision to SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. SFAS No. 123R requires that the Company measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity awards based on the grant date fair value of the awards, with the cost to be recognized as compensation expense in the Company’s financial statements over the vesting period of the awards. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation cost for equity-based compensation for all new or modified grants issued after December 31, 2005. In addition, commencing January 1, 2006, the Company recognized the unvested portion of the grant date fair value of awards issued prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123R based on the fair values previously calculated for disclosure purposes over the remaining vesting period of the outstanding stock options and warrants.

The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with EITF No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and EITF 00-18 “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees” whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.

For the past several years, the Company has consistently utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock options and warrants issued as compensation, primarily to management, employees and directors. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is a widely-accepted method of valuation that public companies typically utilize to calculate the fair value of options and warrants that they issue in such circumstances.

In calculating the Black-Scholes value of stock options and warrants issued, the Company uses the full term of the option, an appropriate risk-free interest rate (generally from 4% to 5%), and a 0% dividend yield.

The Company utilizes the daily closing stock prices of its common stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board to calculate the expected volatility used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Since the Company’s business operations and capital structure changed dramatically on July 28, 2005 as a result of the acquisition of MediaDefender and the related financing transactions, the Company has utilized daily closing stock prices from August 1, 2005 through each subsequent quarter end to generate a volatility factor for use in calculating the fair value of options and warrants issued during each respective period. By utilizing daily trading data related to the period of time that reflects the Company’s current business operations, the Company believes that this methodology generates volatility factors that more accurately reflect, as well as adjust for, normal market fluctuations in the Company’s common stock over an extended period of time. This methodology has generated volatility factors ranging from approximately 163% to 100% during 2005, 2006 and 2007. These volatility factors have generally trended downward during 2006, 2007 and 2008.

Derivative Financial Instruments:

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”), requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. When multiple derivatives (both assets and liabilities) exist within a financial instrument, they are bundled together as a single hybrid compound instrument in accordance with SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. B15, “Embedded Derivatives: Separate Accounting for Multiple Derivative Features Embedded in a Single Hybrid Instrument”. The calculation of the fair value of derivatives utilizes highly subjective and theoretical assumptions that can materially affect fair values from period to period. The change in the fair value of the derivatives from period to period is recorded in other income (expense) in the statement of operations. As a result, the Company’s financial statements are impacted quarterly based on factors such as the price of the Company’s common stock and the principal amount of Sub-Debt Notes converted into common stock. Consequently, the Company’s results of operations and financial position may vary from quarter to quarter based on factors other than those directly associated with the Company’s operating revenues and expenses. The recognition of these derivative amounts does not have any impact on cash flows.

EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock (“EITF 00-19”), requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a company’s own stock, including common stock warrants, to be designated as an equity instrument, an asset or a liability. When the ability to physically or net-share settle a conversion option or the exercise of freestanding options or warrants is deemed to be not within the control of the Company, the embedded conversion option or freestanding options or warrants may be required to be accounted for as a derivative liability. Under the provisions of EITF 00-19, a contract designated as an asset or a liability must be carried at fair value on a company’s balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in a company’s results of operations.

The Company has accounted for registration rights penalties in accordance with EITF 00-19-2, “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements”, which the Company adopted as of December 31, 2006, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”.

The Company accounts for derivatives, including the embedded derivatives associated with the Sub-Debt Notes and the warrants issued in conjunction with the Senior Financing and the Sub-Debt Financing, at fair value, adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect any material changes, with any such changes included in other income (expense) in the statement of operations.

At the date of the conversion of Sub-Debt Notes into common stock or the principal repayment of Senior Notes, the pro rata portion of the related unamortized discount on debt and deferred financing costs is charged to operations and included in other income (expense). At the date of exercise of any of the warrants, or the conversion of Sub-Debt Notes into common stock, the pro rata portion of the fair value of the related warrant liability and/or embedded derivative liability is transferred to additional paid-in capital.

Foreign Currency Transactions:

The Company’s reporting currency and functional currency is the United States dollar. The Company periodically receives payments for services in Canadian dollars and British pounds, which are translated into United States dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the date of payment. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions, to the extent material, are included in other income (expense) in the statement of operations.

Adoption of New Accounting Policies:

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which establishes a formal framework for measuring fair value under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). SFAS No. 157 defines and codifies the many definitions of fair value included among various other authoritative literature, clarifies and, in some instances, expands on the guidance for implementing fair value measurements, and increases the level of disclosure required for fair value measurements. Although SFAS No. 157 applies to and amends the provisions of existing FASB and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) pronouncements, it does not, of itself, require any new fair value measurements, nor does it establish valuation standards. SFAS No. 157 applies to all other accounting pronouncements requiring or permitting fair value measurements, except for: SFAS No. 123R, share-based payment and related pronouncements, the practicability exceptions to fair value determinations allowed by various other authoritative pronouncements, and AICPA Statements of Position 97-2 and 98-9 that deal with software revenue recognition. SFAS No. 157 was effective January 1, 2008. Additional disclosure required as a result of the Company’s implementation of SFAS No. 157 in 2008 is presented at Note 5.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”), which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 159’s objective is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. Generally accepted accounting principles have required different measurement attributes for different assets and liabilities that can create artificial volatility in earnings. SFAS No. 159 helps to mitigate this type of accounting-induced volatility by enabling companies to report related assets and liabilities at fair value, which would likely reduce the need for companies to comply with detailed rules for hedge accounting. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 requires companies to provide additional information that will help investors and other users of financial statements to more easily understand the effect of the company’s choice to use fair value on its earnings. SFAS No. 159 also requires companies to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements included in SFAS No. 157 and SFAS No. 107. SFAS No. 159 was effective January 1, 2008, and did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures in 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), which requires an acquirer to recognize in its financial statements as of the acquisition date (i) the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, measured at their fair values on the acquisition date, and (ii) goodwill as the excess of the consideration transferred plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Acquisition-related costs, which are the costs an acquirer incurs to effect a business combination, will be accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received, except that costs to issue debt or equity securities will be recognized in accordance with other applicable GAAP. SFAS No. 141(R) makes significant amendments to other Statements and other authoritative guidance to provide additional guidance or to conform the guidance in that literature to that provided in SFAS No. 141(R). SFAS No. 141(R) also provides guidance as to what information is to be disclosed to enable users of financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will affect how the Company accounts for a business combination occurring after December 31, 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”), which revises the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require (i) the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity, (ii) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, (iii) changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently as equity transactions, (iv) when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, with the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary being measured using the fair value of any noncontrolling equity investment rather than the carrying amount of that retained investment, and (v) entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 amends FASB No. 128 to provide that the calculation of earnings per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements will continue to be based on the amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 shall be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirem, which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company has not yet determined the affect on its consolidated financial statements, if any, upon adoption of SFAS No. 160.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”). The objective of SFAS No. 161 is to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS No. 161 applies to all derivative financial instruments, including bifurcated derivative instruments (and nonderivative instruments that are designed and qualify as hedging instruments pursuant to paragraphs 37 and 42 of SFAS No. 133) and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations. SFAS No. 161 also amends certain provisions of SFAS No. 131. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. SFAS No. 161 encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company has not yet determined the affect on its consolidated financial statements, if any, upon adoption of SFAS No. 161.

3. ACQUISITION OF MEDIADEFENDER, INC.

On July 28, 2005, the Company consummated the acquisition of MediaDefender, Inc., a privately-held Delaware corporation (“MediaDefender”), which is a leading provider of anti-piracy solutions in the Internet-piracy-protection (“IPP”) industry. The stockholders of MediaDefender received aggregate consideration of $42,500,000 in cash, subject to certain holdbacks and adjustments described in the Merger Agreement. In order to fund the acquisition of MediaDefender, the Company completed a $15,000,000 senior secured debt transaction and a $30,000,000 convertible subordinated debt transaction, as described at Note 4.

In accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Company acknowledged the terms of Employment Agreements entered into on July 28, 2005 by MediaDefender with each of Randy Saaf and Octavio Herrera, confirming the terms of their employment. Mr. Saaf and Mr. Herrera each earn a base salary of no less than $350,000 per annum during the initial term of the agreements, which continue until December 31, 2008, and are also each entitled to receive performance bonuses of up to $350,000 if MediaDefender achieves a certain level of operating earnings. Mr. Saaf and Mr. Herrera are each entitled to receive twelve months of severance pay at the rate of 100% of their monthly salary and the pro rata portion of the performance bonus referenced above if they are terminated “without cause”.

In conjunction with the acquisition of MediaDefender, effective July 28, 2005, the Company granted stock options to each of Mr. Saaf and Mr. Herrera to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock, exercisable for a period of five years at $3.00 per share, which was in excess of the fair value of the common stock issued in the MediaDefender transaction. These options vest quarterly over three and one-half years. The fair value of each of these options, calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined to be $546,000, which is being recognized as stock-based compensation over the vesting period.

The Company also acknowledged the terms of Non-Competition Agreements entered into on July 28, 2005 by MediaDefender and Mr. Saaf and Mr. Herrera. The Non-Competition Agreements prohibit Mr. Saaf and Mr. Herrera from (i) engaging in certain competitive business activities, (ii) soliciting customers of MediaDefender or the Company, (iii) soliciting existing employees of MediaDefender or the Company and (iv) disclosing any confidential information regarding MediaDefender or the Company. Each agreement has a term of four years and shall continue to remain in force and effect in the event the above-referenced Employment Agreements are terminated prior to the end of the four-year term of the Non-Competition Agreements. In consideration, Mr. Saaf and Mr. Herrera were each entitled to a cash payment of $525,000 from MediaDefender on December 31, 2006 (which payments were timely made). As a result of these agreements, effective July 28, 2005, the Company recorded an asset of $1,050,000 for the non-competition agreements and a related liability of $1,050,000 for the guaranteed payments to MediaDefender management. The $1,050,000 allocated to non-competition agreements is being amortized over the term of the employment agreements.

Mr. Saaf and Mr. Herrera each invested $2,250,000 in the convertible subordinated debt transaction entered into to fund the acquisition of MediaDefender on the same terms and conditions as the other investors in such financing (see Note 4).

In conjunction with the acquisition of MediaDefender, effective July 28, 2005, the Company granted stock options to Jonathan Diamond, its former Chief Executive Officer, to purchase 2,753,098 shares of common stock, exercisable for a period of five years at $1.55 per share, which was in excess of the fair value of the common stock issued in the MediaDefender transaction. Options with respect to 1,045,000 shares were scheduled to vest over three years and options with respect to 1,708,098 shares were scheduled to vest based on specified performance milestones. The fair value of the time-vested options, calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined to be $2,936,450, which was being recognized as stock-based compensation over the vesting period. The terms of the time-vesting options were modified effective March 6, 2008 (see Note 9). In conjunction with the acquisition of MediaDefender, effective July 28, 2005, the Company granted stock options to Robert Weingarten, its former Chief Financial Officer, to purchase 550,000 shares of common stock, exercisable for a period of five years at $1.55 per share, which was in excess of the fair value of the common stock issued in the MediaDefender transaction. Options with respect to 275,000 shares were scheduled to vest over three years and options with respect to 275,000 shares were scheduled to vest based on specified performance milestones. The fair value of the time-vested options, calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined to be $772,750, which was being recognized as stock-based compensation over the vesting period. The terms of the time-vesting options were modified effective August 31, 2007, upon Mr. Weingarten’s resignation as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

The Senior Warrants were subject to certain anti-dilution and price reset provisions, as well certain registration rights obligations requiring the Company to file and maintain effective a registration statement with the SEC covering the shares of common stock underlying such warrants, which, if not complied with, subjects the Company to a cash penalty of 1.5% of the Senior Financing per thirty-day period. Accordingly, in accordance with EITF 00-19, the fair value of the Senior Warrants was recorded as warrant liability in the Company’s balance sheet at July 28, 2005, and is being adjusted to reflect any material changes in such liability from the date of issuance to the end of each subsequent reporting period, with any such changes included in other income (expense) in the statement of operations.

The Sub-Debt Financing was completed in accordance with the terms set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into on July 28, 2005 by the Company and each of the investors indicated on the schedule of buyers attached thereto (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, each investor received a convertible subordinated note with a term of four years that bears interest at the rate of 4.0% per annum (each a “Sub-Debt Note”), with any unpaid principal and accrued interest due and payable at maturity. The interest rate increases to 12.0% per annum during any period in which the Company is in default of its obligations under the Sub-Debt Note. Commencing September 30, 2006, interest is payable quarterly in cash or shares of common stock, at the option of the Company. Each Sub-Debt Note had an initial conversion price of $1.55 per share, and was subject to certain anti-dilution, reset and change-of-control provisions. In addition, each Sub-Debt Note is subject to mandatory conversion by the Company in the event certain trading price targets for the Company’s common stock are met.

The Sub-Debt Notes contain specific provisions that expressly prohibit the Company from issuing shares to a Sub-Debt Note holder if, after the conversion, such Sub-Debt Note holder would exceed the respective limit called for in their Sub-Debt Note, either 4.99% or 9.99%, of the Company’s outstanding common shares.

Following effectiveness of a registration statement filed by the Company for the securities issued in the Sub-Debt Financing, two times within any twelve-month period, the Company has the right to require the holder of each Sub-Debt Note to convert all or a portion equal to not less than 25% of the note conversion amount (limited to 50% of the note conversion amount if pursuant to clause (a) below) into shares of the Company’s common stock in the event that (a) the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $2.32 per share for each of any fifteen consecutive trading days, with a minimum trading volume of 200,000 shares of common stock on each such trading day, (b) the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $3.10 per share on each trading day during the fifteen consecutive trading day period, with a minimum trading volume of 200,000 shares of common stock on each such trading day, subject in both cases to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions after the issuance date, or (c) completion of an equity financing (including the issuance of securities convertible into equity securities, or long-term debt securities issued as a unit with equity securities, of the Company) at a price per share of not less than $2.50 generating aggregate gross proceeds of at least $20,000,000 from outside third party investors.

The holders of the Sub-Debt Notes are entitled to receive any dividends paid or distributions made to the holders of common stock to the same extent as if such holders had converted their Sub-Debt Notes into common stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion) and had held such shares of common stock on the record date for such dividend or distribution, with such payment to be made concurrently with the payment of the dividend or distribution to the holders of common stock.

The Sub-Debt Financing investors also received five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,596,774 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.55 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution and price reset provisions (collectively, the “Sub-Debt Warrants”). The Sub-Debt Warrants were valued at $1,133,710 based on a valuation report prepared by an independent valuation firm utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and were recorded as a discount to the $30,000,000 of convertible subordinated debt, and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt.

In conjunction with the aforementioned financing transactions, a Subordination Agreement dated July 28, 2005 was entered into between the Company, the Senior Financing investors, and the Sub-Debt Financing investors pursuant to which the Sub-Debt Financing investors agreed to subordinate their rights to the investors in the Senior Financing in the event of a default under the Senior Financing transaction documents and on certain other terms and conditions described therein.

Legal fees paid or reimbursed by the Company for services provided by the respective legal counsels for the lenders were recorded as a charge to deferred financing costs and are being amortized over the terms of the related debt.

Pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company was required to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 15,000,000 shares to 60,000,000 shares. The Company obtained the requisite approvals of the Board of Directors and stockholders and filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State on November 7, 2005 to effect the increase in the authorized shares of common stock.

If all of the securities issued in the Senior Financing and the Sub-Debt Financing are converted or exercised into shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with their respective terms, it will result in significant dilution to the Company’s existing stockholders and a possible change in control of the Company. If all of the Company’s outstanding equity-based instruments are converted or exercised into shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with their respective terms, including those issued in conjunction with the acquisition of MediaDefender, there would be a total of approximately 38,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding.

The securities issued by the Company in the Senior Financing and the Sub-Debt Financing were offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. Each of the investors qualified as an “accredited investor,” as specified in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

The Sub-Debt Notes and the Sub-Debt Warrants were subject to certain registration rights obligations requiring the Company to file and maintain effective a registration statement with the SEC covering the shares of common stock underlying such warrants, which, if not complied with, subjects the Company to a cash penalty of 1.0% of the Sub-Debt Financing per thirty-day period. Accordingly, in accordance with EITF 00-19, the fair value of the Sub-Debt Warrants was recorded as warrant liability in the Company’s balance sheet at July 28, 2005, and is being adjusted to reflect any material changes in such liability from the date of issuance to the end of each subsequent reporting period, with any such changes included in other income (expense) in the statement of operations.

The Sub-Debt Notes contain reset, anti-dilution and change-in-control provisions that the Company has determined caused such debt instruments to be classified as “non-conventional” debt. Upon evaluation of such debt instruments under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”), and EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”), it was determined that the Company was required to bifurcate and value certain rights embedded in the Sub-Debt Notes on the date of issuance (including, specifically, the initial $1.55 per share fixed conversion feature, which was in excess of the $1.43 per share fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance) and to classify such rights as either assets or liabilities. The fair value of these bifurcated derivatives as of July 28, 2005, as determined by an independent valuation firm, was calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. B15, “Embedded Derivatives: Separate Accounting for Multiple Derivative Features Embedded in a Single Hybrid Instrument”, using a binomial lattice model utilizing highly subjective and theoretical assumptions that can materially affect fair values from period to period. The recognition of these derivative amounts did not have any impact on the Company’s revenues, operating expenses or cash flows. The Company recorded an initial embedded derivative liability of $10,534,000, which was recorded as a discount to the $31,460,500 of convertible subordinated notes, and is being amortized over the term of the debt. The carrying value of the embedded derivative liability is being adjusted to reflect any material changes in such liability from the date of issuance to the end of each subsequent reporting period, with any such changes included in other income (expense) in the statement of operations. The Company has accounted for registration rights penalties in accordance with EITF 00-19-2, “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements”, which the Company adopted as of December 31, 2006, and SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”.

The Sub-Debt Notes contain several embedded derivative features (both assets and liabilities) that have been accounted for at fair value. The various embedded derivative features of the Sub-Debt Notes have been valued at the date of inception of the Sub-Debt Financing and at the end of each reporting period thereafter. The material derivative features include: (1) the standard conversion feature of the debentures, (2) a limitation on the conversion by the holder, and (3) the Company’s right to force conversion. An independent valuation firm valued the embedded derivative features and determined that, except for the above-noted features, the remaining derivative attributes (both assets and liabilities) were immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, and effectively offset each other. The value of the embedded derivatives was bifurcated from the Sub-Debt Notes and recorded as derivative liability, with the initial amount recorded as discount on the related Sub-Debt Notes. This discount is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Sub-Debt Notes.

The Company determined that the warrants issued in conjunction with the Senior Financing and the Sub-Debt Financing created derivative liabilities in accordance with EITF 00-19 because share settlement of these financial instruments was not within the control of the Company, since the Company could not conclude that it had sufficient authorized but unissued common shares available to satisfy its potential share obligations under the warrant agreements. The Company reached this conclusion because: (1) the Company has an obligation to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the common stock underlying warrants, and to have such registration statement declared effective, and to maintain effective such registration statement, or to pay penalties in the form of liquidated damages for each thirty-day period that such registration statement is not effective, (2) the warrants contained dilution protection features, with no limit or cap on the number of shares that could be issued by the Company pursuant to such provisions, and (3) the warrants contained certain price reset features. Because the warrants contain certain anti-dilution and price reset provisions, as well as have registration rights, the fair value of the warrants was accounted for as a derivative and presented as warrant liability.

Pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement, dated July 15, 2005, by and between the Company and Broadband Capital Management LLC (“Broadband”), effective July 28, 2005, the Company issued to Broadband (including its affiliates) a Sub-Debt Note in the aggregate amount of $1,460,500 (in addition to the $30,000,000 referred to above) and five-year warrants to purchase 1,516,935 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.55 per share. The notes and warrants issued to Broadband and its affiliates were issued on the same terms and conditions granted to the other Sub-Debt Financing investors. The securities were issued as partial consideration for Broadband’s services as the Company’s placement agent in the Sub-Debt Financing and the Senior Financing. The securities were issued in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The Broadband warrants were valued at $1,077,024 based on a valuation report prepared by an independent valuation firm utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The aggregate value of the Sub-Debt Note, the warrants and additional cash payments to Broadband aggregating $299,500 were charged to deferred financing costs and are being amortized to other expense over the term of the debt. The securities issued to Broadband and its affiliates were accounted for in a manner consistent with the accounting for the Sub-Debt Notes and Sub-Debt Warrants as described above.

Pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement, dated June 21, 2005, by and between the Company and Libra FE, LP (“Libra”), effective July 28, 2005, the Company issued to Libra a seven-year warrant to purchase 237,500 shares of its common stock with an exercise price of $2.00 per share upon the closing of the Senior Financing (the “Libra Warrant”). The Libra Warrant was issued as partial consideration for Libra’s services as the Company’s placement agent in the Senior Financing described above. The Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Libra on July 28, 2005 (the “Libra Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will include the shares underlying the Libra Warrant in the registration statement covering the securities issued in the Senior Financing and the Sub-Debt Financing described above. The Libra Warrant was issued in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The Libra Warrant was valued at $175,750 based on a valuation report prepared by an independent valuation firm utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The aggregate value of the Libra Warrant and additional payments to Libra of $450,997 were charged to deferred financing costs and are being amortized to other expense over the term of the debt.

The Libra Warrant was subject to certain registration rights requiring the Company to file and maintain effective a registration statement with the SEC covering the shares of common stock underlying such warrant, which if not complied with could subject the Company to a cash penalty of $5,000 per thirty-day period. In accordance with EITF 00-19, the fair value of the Libra Warrant was recorded as warrant liability at July 28, 2005, and was being adjusted to reflect any material changes in such liability from the date of issuance to the end of each subsequent reporting period, with any such changes included in other income (expense) in the statement of operations. Effective April 19, 2006, the Libra Warrant was exercised on a cashless basis at $2.00 per share, resulting in the issuance of 123,864 shares of common stock.

At the date of exercise of any of the Senior Warrants, the Sub-Debt Warrants or the Libra Warrant, or the conversion of Sub-Debt Notes into common stock, the pro rata fair value of the related warrant liability and/or embedded derivative liability is transferred to additional paid-in capital.

Pursuant to the Senior Financing and Sub-Debt Financing documents, the Company is required to comply on a quarterly basis with certain financial covenants, including minimum working capital, maximum capital expenditures, minimum leverage ratio, minimum EBITDA and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. These financial covenants are identical in the Senior Financing and the Sub-Debt Financing documents.

Due to the accounting classification of the warrants issued in conjunction with the Senior Financing and the Sub-Debt Financing as a current liability in accordance with SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19, the Company was not in compliance with certain of these financial covenants at December 31, 2005.

On April 7, 2006, the lenders provided waivers with respect to such past events of default under the Senior Notes and amended their loan documents such that the warrant liability and any change thereto in future periods will not affect future covenant and excess cash flow calculations. In consideration thereof, the Company offered to temporarily reduce the exercise price of the 3,250,000 warrants held by the investors in the Senior Financing from $2.00 to $1.85 per share through April 30, 2006, and agreed to permanently reduce the exercise price of the 1,596,744 warrants held by the investors in the Sub-Debt Financing from $1.55 to $1.43 per share on certain terms and conditions. Any exercise of the aforementioned warrants at the reduced exercise price was required to be for cash only. The conversion price of the Sub-Debt Notes of $1.55 per share was not affected. The Company also entered into similar agreements, as applicable, and provided identical temporary and permanent reductions to warrant exercise prices, with Broadband Capital Management LLC (1,516,935 warrants originally exercisable at $1.55 per share) and Libra FE, LP (237,500 warrants originally exercisable at $2.00 per share). The Company also agreed to utilize 25% of the net proceeds from the exercise of the warrants held by the investors in the Senior Financing to reduce the respective principal balances on the Senior Notes payable held by such exercising investors, and to pay any related unpaid accrued interest on such principal payments. The aforementioned waivers did not extend to the embedded derivative liabilities associated with the Sub-Debt.

Effective April 27, 2006, certain of the investors in the Senior Financing exercised their warrants to purchase 2,816,667 shares of common stock at $1.85 per share, resulting in the issuance of 2,816,667 shares of common stock in exchange for cash proceeds of $5,212,000, of which $1,303,000 was used to reduce the respective principal balances on the Senior Notes payable held by such exercising investors. There was no conversion of subordinated convertible notes payable during April 2006 in relation to this transaction.

As a result of the $0.15 warrant exercise price reduction offered to the investors in the Senior Financing in April 2006, the Company recorded a charge to operations during the year ended December 31, 2006 for the aggregate fair value of such exercise price reductions of $423,000 relating to the warrants held and exercised by the Senior Financing investors in April 2006. The Company provided this consideration primarily in exchange for a waiver of and amendment to certain of the financial covenants contained in the loan agreements entered into in conjunction with the July 2005 acquisition of MediaDefender. The amount charged to operations was calculated by multiplying the $0.15 reduction, which represented the fair value of the consideration transferred, by the number of warrants that elected to accept the Company’s offer and exercise, as follows: $0.15 x 2,816,667 = $423,000. This charge to operations was presented as reduction in exercise price of warrants and was included in other income (expense) in the statement of operations.

As a result of the $0.12 warrant exercise price reduction provided to the investors in the Sub-Debt Financing in April 2006, the Company recorded a charge to operations during the year ended December 31, 2006 for the aggregate fair value of such exercise price reductions of $218,000 relating to the warrants held by the investors in the Sub-Debt Financing in April 2006. The Company provided this consideration in exchange for a waiver of and amendment to certain of the financial covenants contained in the loan agreements entered into in conjunction with the July 2005 acquisition of MediaDefender. This amount was calculated by determining the difference between the fair value of the warrants held by the investors in the Sub-Debt Financing, based on a comparison of updated Black-Scholes calculations using the original $1.55 exercise price and the reduced $1.43 exercise price. The Company utilized revised Black-Scholes input metrics to reflect updated changes, in particular to estimated life and volatility. The result was that the Black-Scholes value of the Sub-Debt warrants was $3.54, based on the original $1.55 exercise price, as compared to a Black-Scholes value of $3.61, based on the reduced exercise price of $1.43. The amount charged to operations was calculated by multiplying the $0.07 difference ($3.61 - $3.54), which represented the fair value of the consideration transferred, by the number of warrants affected, as follows: $0.07 x 3,113,709 = $218,000. This charge to operations was presented as reduction in exercise price of warrants and was included in other income (expense) in the statement of operations.

On November 7, 2006, the Company entered into a waiver (the “Sub-Debt Waiver”) with the holders of the Sub-Debt Notes. A provision of the Sub-Debt Notes contains a negative covenant pertaining to the Company’s Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as such term is defined in the Sub-Debt Notes), which is to be calculated on a quarterly basis (the “Fixed Charge Covenant”). The Fixed Charge Covenant as originally drafted did not contemplate that the first cash payment of accrued interest was not due and payable to the holders of the Sub-Debt Notes until September 30, 2006 (the “First Interest Payment”), an approximate fourteen-month period from the original issuance date of the Sub-Debt Notes. As a result of the Company timely making the First Interest Payment of $1,307,000, the Company was forced to breach the Fixed Charge Covenant. The holders of the Sub-Debt Notes agreed to waive this event of default under the Sub-Debt Notes that may have been triggered due to a breach of the Fixed Charge Covenant resulting from the First Interest Payment.

On November 7, 2006, the Company also entered into a waiver (the “Senior Waiver”) with the purchasers of the Senior Notes originally issued by the Company. The Note Purchase Agreement contains the same Fixed Charge Covenant that is contained in the Sub-Debt Notes (the “Senior Fixed Charge Covenant”). As a result of the Company timely making the First Interest Payment of $1,307,000, the Company was forced to breach the Senior Fixed Charge Covenant. The holders of the Senior Notes agreed to waive the event of default under the Note Purchase Agreement that may have been triggered due to a breach of the Senior Fixed Charge Covenant resulting from the First Interest Payment.

The financing documents governing the terms and conditions of the senior and subordinated indebtedness required the Company to maintain an effective registration statement covering the resale of shares of common stock underlying the various securities issued by the Company to each holder. A resale registration statement on Form SB-2, as amended, was declared effective by the SEC on December 9, 2005. The Company subsequently filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement on Form SB-2, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 1, 2006, and Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the registration statement on Form SB-2, which was declared effective by the SEC on July 6, 2007. As a result of the determination to restate previously issued financial statements (see Note 1), the Form SB-2 was not available for use by the holders between December 21, 2006 and July 6, 2007.

The financing documents specify that an event of default of the senior and subordinated indebtedness is triggered if a resale registration statement is unavailable for use by the holders for a period of more than ten consecutive trading days after the expiration of an allowable ten-day grace period. The Company invoked its use of the ten-day allowable grace period on December 21, 2006, which expired on December 31, 2006. The Company delivered notice to holders of its outstanding senior and subordinated indebtedness that, as of December 20, 2006, an event of default had been triggered under their respective senior and subordinated financing documents.

As of December 20, 2006, the Form SB-2 remained unavailable for use by the holders, and it continued to be unavailable for use until July 6, 2007, when Amendment No. 2 to the registration statement on Form SB-2 was declared effective by the SEC. Accordingly, at December 31, 2006, the registration statement covering the resale of shares of common stock underlying the various securities issued by the Company to each holder of the senior and subordinated indebtedness was not effective. As a result, an event of default, among others, with respect to the senior and subordinated indebtedness was triggered by the unavailability of the Form SB-2 to the holders between December 20, 2006 and July 6, 2007. The financing documents provide that while the Form SB-2 remains unavailable for use, holders of senior indebtedness are entitled to a cash penalty equal to 1.5% of the original Senior Financing, on a pro rata basis, and the holders of subordinated indebtedness are entitled to a cash penalty equal to 1.0% of the original Sub-Debt Financing, on a pro rata basis. These cash penalties are due and payable by the Company at the end of each thirty-day period while the Form SB-2 remains unavailable. The first cash penalty payment was due on January 31, 2007, and monthly thereafter.

In accordance with EITF 00-19-2, which the Company adopted as of December 31, 2006, and SFAS No. 5, the Company accrued seven months liquidated damages (through mid-August 2007) under the registration rights agreements aggregating approximately $3,777,000 as a charge to operations at December 31, 2006, which was reduced by $395,000 as a result of the Company’s registration statement being declared effective on July 6, 2007, which was earlier than originally estimated, and by an aggregate of $1,000,000 of advance payments made to the holders of the Senior Financing during the year ended December 31, 2007 for liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement. Accordingly, liquidated damages payable under registration rights agreements were $2,382,000 at December 31, 2007. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company made a further payment to the holders of the Senior Financing with respect to liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement of $410,000, thus reducing liquidated damages payable to $1,972,000 at March 31, 2008. Liquidated damages payable are presented as a current liability in the Company’s balance sheet. The Company believes that the amount of the liquidated damages accrued reflects the undiscounted maximum potential amount of liquidated damages payable to the holders of the Senior Financing and the Sub-Debt Financing since the underlying shares became generally available for resale under an effective registration statement on July 6, 2007.

A summary of the registration penalty accrual at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 is presented below.

	March 31, 2008		December 31, 2007

Senior secured notes payable	$	—	$	410,000
Subordinated convertible notes payable	1,972,000		1,972,000
Total registration penalty accrual	$	1,972,000	$	2,382,000

As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, approximately $12,994,000 and $13,307,000 principal amount was outstanding with respect to the Senior Financing, respectively, and approximately $27,658,000 principal amount was outstanding with respect to the Sub-Debt Financing. In addition, approximately $103,000 and $4,099,000 was outstanding with respect to accrued interest payable to the holders of the Senior Financing and the Sub-Debt Financing, respectively. At December 31, 2007, approximately $146,000 and $3,206,000 was outstanding with respect to accrued interest payable to the holders of the Senior Financing and the Sub-Debt Financing, respectively. Through March 31, 2008, the Company had made payments with respect to the registration delay penalties to the holders of the Senior Notes aggregating $1,410,000 of which $1,000,000 was paid during 2007. Through March 31, 2008, the Company had not made any payments with respect to the registration delay penalties to the holders of the Sub-Debt Notes. As a result of the registration failure, the failure to pay certain of the registration delay penalties, and the various financial covenant and other breaches of the terms of the Senior Financing and the Sub-Debt Financing, multiple events of default exist under the Senior Financing and the Sub-Debt Financing. The terms of the Subordination Agreement among the Company and the creditor parties thereto (the “Subordination Agreement”) prevent the Company from making any cash payments to the Sub-Debt Note holders until the events of default under the Senior Financing are either cured or waived. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of an event of default, holders of at least 25% of the outstanding senior indebtedness may declare the outstanding principal and accrued interest on all senior notes immediately due and payable upon written notice to the Company, and each holder of outstanding subordinated indebtedness may only demand redemption of all or any portion of their respective notes under certain circumstances as described in the Subordination Agreement. The Company does not have the capital resources necessary to cure the existing events of default, or to repay any accelerated indebtedness or redemption or penalty amounts.

On October 16, 2007, the Company received an Event of Default Redemption Notice from the holders of approximately $2,693,000 principal amount of Sub-Debt Notes demanding that the Company redeem their Sub-Debt Notes. The Company believes and has advised these Sub-Debt Note holders that redemption (including the demand for redemption) is not permitted under the terms of the Subordination Agreement. On November 1, 2007, the Company received a copy of a letter to the Sub-Debt Note holders from Senior Note holders representing approximately 66% of the Senior Notes. The letter advised the Sub-Debt Note holders that the Subordination Agreement prohibits the Company from redeeming any Sub-Debt Notes and prohibits any Sub-Debt Note holder from pursuing any remedies.

All quarterly interest payments due on the outstanding senior and subordinated indebtedness were timely paid by the Company through December 2006. In addition, the quarterly interest payments due on the outstanding senior indebtedness have been timely paid. Pursuant to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, interest on the outstanding subordinated convertible notes payable cannot be paid as a result of the existence of the events of default described herein.

A summary of accrued interest payable at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 is presented below.

	March 31, 2008		December 31, 2007

Senior secured notes payable	$	103,000	$	67,000
Subordinated convertible notes payable	3,862,000		3,034,000
Liquidated damages payable with respect to:
Senior secured notes payable	—		79,000
Subordinated convertible notes payable	237,000		172,000
Total accrued interest payable	$	4,202,000	$	3,352,000

Pursuant to a series of Forbearance and Consent Agreements with the investors in the Senior Financing, such investors agreed to forbear from the exercise of their rights and remedies under the Senior Financing documents as a result of the events of default with respect to the unavailability of the Company’s registration statement, as well as certain other events of default that existed or that could come into existence during the forbearance period, from April 17, 2007 through February 20, 2008, in exchange for aggregate cash payments of $1,000,000 in 2007 (applied against accrued registration delay penalties) and $494,423 ($410,000 applied against accrued registration delay penalties and $84,423 applied against interest on accrued registration delay penalties) in February 2008. The payments made by the Company under the Forbearance and Consent Agreements were credited against the registration delay cash penalties and interest on the penalties resulting from the Company’s default under the various agreements between the Company and the Senior Financing investors. On March 17, 2008, the Company entered into a Forbearance and Consent Agreement with the investors in the Company’s Senior Debt Financing, which was effective as of February 20, 2008, whereby the investors agreed to forbear from exercising any of their rights and remedies under the Senior Financing transaction documents through December 31, 2008 in exchange for an adjustment in the interest rate associated with the Senior Notes from 11.25% to 15.0%, provided the loan is repaid prior to September 30, 2008 or 16.0% (retroactive to February 20, 2008), if the loan remains outstanding subsequent to that date.

On August 3, 2007, the Company entered into a Waiver and Forbearance Agreement with the holders of the Sub-Debt Financing pursuant to which the holders agreed to waive their right to charge the 12.0% default interest rate triggered by the Company’s defaults under the Subordinated Financing transaction documents and instead charge the 4.0% standard interest rate on the Sub-Debt Notes for the period from July 16, 2007 through August 31, 2007 (the “Forbearance Period”). The holders of the Sub-Debt Financing also agreed to forbear from exercising any of their other rights and remedies under the Sub-Debt Financing transaction documents during the Forbearance Period, upon the terms and conditions in the Waiver and Forbearance Agreement. Effective September 1, 2007, the interest rate returned to the 12.0% default interest rate.

The registration delay penalties and ongoing default interest charges are continuing to have a significant and material negative impact on the Company’s operations and cash flows. The Company is exploring various alternatives to resolve the defaults under its senior and secured debt obligations, but is unable to predict the outcome of such negotiations. On February 7, 2008, the Company retained the services of Salem Partners, LLC to serve as a financial advisor to the Company in connection with the sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination and the restructuring of the material terms of the Company’s senior notes and/or subordinated convertible notes. To the extent that the Company is unable to complete a sale or merger, or restructure its senior and subordinated debt obligations in a satisfactory manner and/or the lenders begin to exercise additional remedies to enforce their rights, the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to maintain its operations. In such event, the Company may be required to consider a formal or informal restructuring or reorganization, including a filing under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

5. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In conjunction with the financing for the acquisition of MediaDefender on July 28, 2005 (see Notes 3 and 4), the Company completed a $15,000,000 senior secured debt transaction (the “Senior Financing”) and a $30,000,000 convertible subordinated debt transaction (the “Sub-Debt Financing”). The Company also issued various warrants in conjunction with such financings.

The Sub-Debt Notes contain multiple embedded derivative features (both assets and liabilities) that have been accounted for at fair value as a compound embedded derivative. The compound embedded derivative associated with the Sub-Debt Notes has been valued at the date of inception of the Sub-Debt Financing and at the end of each reporting period thereafter. The compound embedded derivative includes the following material features: (1) the standard conversion feature of the debentures, (2) a limitation on the conversion by the holder, and (3) the Company’s right to force conversion.

An independent valuation firm assisted the Company in valuing the various derivative features in the compound embedded derivative and it was determined that, except for the above-noted features, the remaining derivative attributes (both assets and liabilities) were immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, and they effectively offset one another. The value of the compound embedded derivative that includes the above-noted features was bifurcated from the Sub-Debt Notes and recorded as derivative liability. This initial amount was recorded as a discount on the related Sub-Debt Notes. This discount is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Sub-Debt Notes.

The Company, with the assistance of an independent valuation firm, calculated the fair value of the compound embedded derivative associated with the Sub-Debt Notes in accordance with SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. B15, “Embedded Derivatives: Separate Accounting for Multiple Derivative Features Embedded in a Single Hybrid Instrument”, which requires that when multiple derivatives (both assets and liabilities) exist within a financial instrument, they are bundled together as a single hybrid compound instrument. The calculation model utilized a complex, customized, binomial lattice model suitable for the valuation of path-dependent American options. The model uses the risk neutral binomial methodology to simulate the scenarios and stock price paths. The model also uses backward dynamic programming to value the payoffs at each node considering all the embedded options simultaneously. The valuation model used the following assumptions for the original valuation and for each succeeding quarterly valuation:

The Company calculated the fair value of the various warrants using the Black Scholes option-pricing model, using the volatility factor determined by the independent valuation firm. The valuation model used the following assumptions for the original valuation and for each succeeding quarterly valuation.

	2005												2006												2007									2008

The Company’s Sub-Debt Notes contain compound embedded derivatives (as described above) that required that they be bifurcated from the debt host instrument at the date of issuance and valued. The calculation of the fair value of the compound embedded derivatives required the use of a more sophisticated valuation model than a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Accordingly, the Company retained an independent valuation firm to calculate the fair value of the compound embedded derivatives, and the changes in fair value at each subsequent period end. The Company, with the assistance of the independent valuation firm, calculated the fair value of the compound embedded derivatives associated with the Sub-Debt Notes in accordance with SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. B15, “Embedded Derivatives: Separate Accounting for Multiple Derivative Features Embedded in a Single Hybrid Instrument”, by utilizing a complex, customized, binomial lattice model suitable in the valuation of path-dependent American options. This model utilized subjective and theoretical assumptions that can materially affect fair values from period to period.

The independent valuation firm concluded that the Company’s historical pattern of stock prices as of July 28, 2005, and for some time thereafter, would not provide a sufficient indication of the long-term expected volatility of the Company’s stock going forward for purposes of the calculation of the fair value of the compound embedded derivatives, due to the significant changes in the business operations and capital structure of the Company on July 28, 2005 as a result of the acquisition of MediaDefender and the related financing transactions. Accordingly, the Company’s independent valuation firm based its calculation of the Company’s expected stock price volatilities on the volatility factors of similar public companies. The independent valuation firm identified four companies that were similar to the Company in terms of industry, market capitalization, stock price and profitability: Easylink Services Corporation; Forgent Networks, Inc.; Inforte Corp.; and Think Partnership, Inc. Using historical stock returns data for a period of one year, the independent valuation firm calculated the volatilities of these companies at the various reporting dates. The expected volatilities for the Company as of the reporting dates were calculated based on the average of the volatilities of these comparable companies. The resulting volatilities were then used to calculate the fair value, and the changes in fair value, of the Company’s compound embedded derivative liabilities at each period end. The Company also utilized these volatilities to calculate the fair value, and the changes in fair value, of the Company’s warrant derivative liabilities at each period end.

Paragraph A32 of SFAS No. 123R lists factors to consider in estimating expected volatility. The independent valuation firm retained by the Company to value the compound embedded derivatives contained in the Sub-Debt Notes determined that the appropriate methodology to calculate volatility with respect to the Company’s compound embedded derivatives was to consider the Company as similar to a newly public company without a trading history because of the significant transformative changes resulting from the acquisition and financing of the MediaDefender transaction on July 28, 2005. With reference to newly public companies, section (c) of paragraph A32 of SFAS No. 123R suggests that the expected volatility of similar entities be considered. The independent valuation firm arrived at this determination due to the Company’s acquisition of MediaDefender on July 28, 2005 and the related equity-based financing transactions that provided the capital to fund the acquisition.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008, delaying, as permitted, application for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for an identical asset or liability that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active-exchange traded securities and exchange-based derivatives.

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities, non-exchange based derivatives, mutual funds, and fair-value hedges.

Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability are only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include infrequently-traded non-exchange-based derivatives and commingled investment funds, and are measured using present value pricing models.

In accordance with SFAS No. 157, the Company determines the level in the fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement falls in its entirety, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The warrant liability and the derivative liability, as described above, are the only financial instruments that are measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheets on a recurring basis. The following table presents the warrant liability and the derivative liability at their level within the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2008, as well as a reconciliation of the changes to the beginning and ending balances of such financial instruments during such period.

	Fair Value

6. GOODWILL

Goodwill at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $31,085,000, which was recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of MediaDefender in July 2005 (see Note 3). In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, an intangible asset that is not subject to amortization such as goodwill shall be tested for impairment at least on an annual basis, and more often under certain circumstances, and written down when impaired. An interim impairment test is required if an event occurs or conditions change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. The first step of the impairment test consists of a comparison of the total fair value of each reporting unit to the reporting unit’s net assets on the date of the test. If the fair value is in excess of the net assets, there is no indication of impairment and thus no need to perform the second step of the impairment test.

During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company performed its second annual impairment test with respect to the goodwill recognized in conjunction with the acquisition of MediaDefender and determined that there was no indication of impairment. Due to the reduced sales activity and lower operating margins in the Company’s anti-piracy business for 2007 and internal projections for 2008, the Company reviewed the impairment calculations at December 31, 2007 and noted that while the test thresholds were narrower, an impairment adjustment was still not required. The Company’s further review of the impairment calculations at March 31, 2008, was consistent with the Company’s observations and conclusions at December 31, 2007, which allowed for a further decline in revenues in 2008. To the extent that MediaDefender revenues for the three months ending June 30, 2008 decrease significantly, the Company may have to report an impairment loss with respect to the carrying value of this segement’s goodwill at June 30, 2008. The Company intends to closely monitor revenues within this segment during the remainder of 2008 and, if warranted, will record an impairment loss to the carrying value of this segment’s goodwill.

Effective February 2, 2007, the Company issued to Rene L. Rousselet, the Company’s Corporate Controller and Chief Accounting Officer, a stock option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock exercisable through February 2, 2012 at $1.50 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant. The stock option vested and became exercisable in equal installments on March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007, September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007. The fair value of the stock option, determined pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was $60,000, of which $15,000 was charged to operations during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Effective February 2, 2007, the Company issued to its Vice President of Worldwide Sales, a stock option to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock exercisable through February 2, 2012 at $1.50 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant. Options with respect to 175,000 shares are scheduled to vest in seven equal quarterly installments on June 30, 2007, September 30, 2007, December 31, 2007, March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008, September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, and options with respect to 125,000 shares will vest on the achievement of performance targets to be mutually determined by the parties. The fair value of the time-vested portion of this stock option, determined pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was $208,000, of which $7,000 and $30,000 was charged to operations during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. No performance based options were granted.

The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of the aforementioned options were as follows:

Stock price on date of grant	$	1.50
Risk-free interest rate	4.88		%
Volatility	1.065		%
Dividend yield	0		%
Weighted average expected life (years)	5
Weighted average fair value of option	$	1.19

A summary of stock option activity under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2008 is as follows:

	Options Outstanding
	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price

Options outstanding at December 31, 2007	601,551	$	1.96

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Employment Agreements:

In connection with the acquisition of MediaDefender (see Note 3), the Company acknowledged the terms of Employment Agreements entered into on July 28, 2005 by MediaDefender with each of Randy Saaf, who serves as Chief Executive Officer of MediaDefender, and Octavio Herrera, who serves as President of MediaDefender. Mr. Saaf and Mr. Herrera will each earn a base salary of no less than $350,000 per annum during the initial term of the agreements, which shall continue until December 31, 2008, and are also entitled to receive performance bonuses of up to $350,000 if MediaDefender achieves defined operating earnings in fiscal 2007 and 2008, respectively. The fiscal 2007 bonus aggregating $700,000 was accrued ratably during 2007 and was paid in March 2008. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded a charge to general and administrative expense and an accrued liability of $175,000 with respect to the 2008 bonus.

In addition, the Company granted stock options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock to each of Mr. Saaf and Mr. Herrera, exercisable for a period of five years at $3.00 per share and vesting quarterly over a period of three and one-half years. On July 28, 2006, the Company entered into agreements with Mr. Saaf and Mr. Herrera to incorporate non-material modifications into the Employment Agreements.

The Company also employs its Vice President of Worldwide Sales through February 2009 under an agreement that provides for base annual compensation and performance bonus payments.

Future base payments under these employment agreements and arrangements as of March 31, 2008 are as follows (amounts are in thousands):

On July 28, 2005, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Jonathan Diamond to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. During the term of the Employment Agreement through December 31, 2008, Mr. Diamond’s base salary would be no less than $350,000 per annum, plus certain specified perquisites that include a monthly car allowance. Mr. Diamond was also eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus of up to 100% of base salary, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or, if none, the Board of Directors, and an annual performance bonus of up to 100% of base salary if the Company achieved defined earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in fiscal 2007 ($12,000,000 - $14,400,000) and fiscal 2008 ($15,000,000 - $18,000,000). Mr. Diamond was also entitled to receive stock options at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. In the event Mr. Diamond was terminated “without cause,” he would be entitled to receive 12 months of severance pay at the rate of 100% of his monthly salary, any performance bonus due for the year in which termination occurs and all stock options subject to time vesting shall be deemed fully vested and exercisable. On October 14, 2005, February 3, 2006, June 19, 2006 and July 31, 2006, the Company entered into agreements with Mr. Diamond to incorporate non-material modifications into the Employment Agreement.

Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Services Agreement dated as of March 6, 2008 (the “Services Agreement”) between the Company and Mr. Diamond, Mr. Diamond’s employment as Chief Executive Officer was ended and he was elected as the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Chairman”) effective March 6, 2008. Under the Services Agreement, in consideration of Mr. Diamond’s waiver of his rights contained in the Employment Agreement dated as of July 28, 2005 (the “Prior Agreement”), the execution by Mr. Diamond of a general release in favor of the Company and its affiliates, and his agreement to serve as Chairman, the Company agreed to (a) pay Mr. Diamond a severance payment of $350,000 payable in semi-monthly installments for a period of six months, (b) accelerate the vesting of Mr. Diamond’s “Time Vesting” options, (c) accelerate the vesting of Mr. Diamond’s options granted in 2004 to purchase 259,659 shares (the “2004 Options”), (d) extend to February 5, 2011 the exercisability of the Time Vesting Options and to March 29, 2011 for the 2004 Options, and (e) pay Mr. Diamond his accrued base salary through February 29, 2008 and 40 days of accrued vacation time. The severance payment was accrued and included in accrued expenses on the Company’s balance sheet at March 31, 2008. The Company also recorded stock-based compensation costs of $571,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 with respect to this settlement.

Consulting Agreements:

On October 1, 2006, the Company entered into a one-year non-exclusive consulting agreement with an entity for business development consulting services. The consulting agreement provided for a base monthly fee of $7,500, certain performance-related bonuses, and stock options to acquire 5,000 shares of common stock on the last day of each month of the term of the consulting agreement through September 30, 2007. Accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company issued options to acquire 15,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, exercisable through November 30, 2011, at prices ranging from $1.55 to $2.20 per share, the market price on the date of each grant. The options were fully vested when issued. The aggregate fair value of the options, calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, of $22,000, was charged to operations during the three months ended March 31, 2007. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of the options were as follows:

Stock price on date of grant	$1.55 – $2.20
Risk-free interest rate	4.88 – 4.93	%
Volatility	106.5 – 108.6	%
Dividend yield	0	%
Weighted average expected life (years)	4.65 – 4.85
Weighted average fair value of option	$1.22 - $1.74

On October 9, 2006, the Company entered into an eighteen-month non-exclusive consulting agreement with Wood River Ventures, LLC and Jonathan Dolgen for consulting and advisory services with respect to the business and operations of the Company. The consulting agreement provided for an aggregate cash fee of $187,500, payable quarterly in six installments of $31,250, and a stock award valued at $112,500, consisting of 34,615 shares of common stock based on the Company’s closing stock price on October 10, 2006 of $3.25 per share to be issued under the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The shares vest pro rata over the eighteen-month period of the consulting agreement, beginning on October 10, 2006 and thereafter monthly on the first day of each month of the term of the consulting agreement through March 2008. In accordance with EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”, the shares granted under this consulting agreement are valued each month based on the closing market price on the first day of each month to determine the amount to be recorded as a charge to operations over the eighteen-month term of the consulting agreement. Accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company issued 5,769 shares of common stock under this consulting agreement with a fair value of $19,000, which was charged to operations.

On February 7, 2008, the Company entered into an Engagement Letter (“Engagement Letter”) with Salem Partners LLC (“Salem Partners”). Under the terms of the Engagement Letter, Salem Partners has been engaged as financial advisor to the Company on an exclusive basis for a period of twelve months (a) in connection with an M&A transaction involving the Company and (b) to render an opinion, if requested, in a transaction involving the restructuring of the material terms of the Company’s senior secured notes payable and/or subordinated convertible notes payable. An M&A transaction, whether effected in one transaction or a series of transactions, is defined as any sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination pursuant to which all or any portion of assets owned by the Company are sold or otherwise transferred to, or combined with, a third party or one or more third parties formed by or affiliated with such third party, including, without limitation, any joint venture.

As compensation for its services rendered pursuant to the Engagement Letter, Salem Partners shall be paid (a) a retainer fee of $50,000 per month, for the first four months of service, which fee shall be credited against the M&A transaction fee payable to Salem Partners pursuant to the engagement, plus a cash fee of the greater of (x) 2.0% of the portion of the Aggregate Consideration of an M&A transaction, and (y) $1 million, payable upon the closing of an M&A transaction, plus (b) a cash fee of $300,000 due upon the completion and delivery of an opinion regarding the M&A transaction, if requested by the Board of Directors of the Company, regardless of the conclusions of the opinion; plus (c) a cash fee of $300,000 in the case of a restructuring transaction for which Salem Partners delivers an opinion, due upon the completion and delivery of an opinion, regardless of the conclusions of the opinion; plus (d) $150,000 in the case of a restructuring transaction for which Salem Partners does not deliver an opinion. For the purposes of calculating compensation payable, Aggregate Consideration is defined as: (i) the total consideration paid or to be paid in cash or cash equivalents or in any form of equity (valued at fair market value) or debt in a transaction (including without limitation amounts received by holders of warrants, options or convertible securities); plus (ii) the principal amount of indebtedness for borrowed money assumed directly or indirectly by the purchaser.

Sub-Lease Agreement:

On January 30, 2006, the Company entered into a sub-lease agreement for new office facilities in Santa Monica, California, effective February 2, 2006 through November 30, 2011, to house the operations of ADI and MediaDefender. In connection with the sub-lease agreement, the Company provided an irrevocable standby bank letter of credit for $180,000 as security for the Company’s obligations under the sub-lease agreement, which was secured by cash of $180,000, which was classified as restricted cash in the Company’s balance sheet. Pursuant to the terms of the sub-lease agreement, the letter of credit was reduced to $90,000 during February 2007.

This lease contains predetermined fixed increases in the minimum rental rate during the initial lease term. The Company began to recognize the related rent expense on a straight-line basis on the effective date of the lease. The Company records the difference between the amount charged to expense and the rent paid as deferred rent on the Company’s balance sheet.

Future cash payments under such operating lease as of March 31, 2008 are as follows (amounts are in thousands):

Years Ending December 31,

2008 (nine months)	$	354
2009	485
2010	499
2011	471
	$	1,809

Legal Matters:

The Company is periodically subject to various pending and threatened legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. The Company’s management believes that the impact of any such litigation will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

As a result of the restatement of the Company’s financial statements and other events described elsewhere in this document and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Company has triggered various events of default under its senior debt and subordinated debt financing documents. The Company could be subject to future claims under such financing documents.

Sufficiency of Authorized but Unissued Shares:

The Company has concluded, for the reasons described below, that it is highly probable that the Company will have sufficient shares available to satisfy its existing option and warrant obligations to officers, directors, employees, consultants, advisors and others for the foreseeable future (excluding the warrants issued in conjunction with the financing of the MediaDefender transaction described at Note 4, which are accounted for as a derivative liability).

Paragraphs 28 to 35 of SFAS No. 123R describe the types of equity awards that should be classified as a liability, including an option (or similar instrument) that could require the employer to pay an employee cash or other assets, unless cash settlement is based on a contingent event that is (a) not probable and (b) outside the control of the employee. The Company has concluded that any cash settlement obligation represented by its outstanding options and warrants issued to employees, officers and directors would be triggered only by a contingent event that is both not probable and is outside the control of the equity holder.

Most of the Company’s outstanding options and warrants were issued to employees, officers and directors in compensatory transactions accounted for under SFAS No. 123R. Of the 4,041,642 options and warrants outstanding at March 31, 2008, 3,623,455 were issued to employees, officers and directors. The Company believes that potential impact pursuant to EITF 00-19-2 of the remaining 418,187 options and warrants issued to consultants, advisors and others is not material to the consolidated financial statements. With respect to the 418,187 options and warrants, 222,000 are exercisable at $0.50 per share and the remaining 196,187 are exercisable at prices ranging from $1.00 per share to $7.50 per share; all such exercise prices are in excess of the current market value of the Company’s common stock.

The Company currently has 60,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, of which 10,344,666 shares of common stock were issued at March 31, 2008, resulting in 49,655,334 unissued shares at such date. If all of the Company’s equity-based instruments were converted or exercised into shares of common stock in accordance with their respective original terms, without regard to whether such instruments have vested or are in-the-money, approximately 28,000,000 additional shares would be issued, resulting in a total of approximately 38,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Accordingly, this calculation results in approximately 22,000,000 shares of common stock available for issuance, in excess of all equity commitments that the Company currently has outstanding.

The Company has approximately $27,658,000 of Sub-Debt Notes outstanding at March 31, 2008, which are convertible into common stock at $1.55 per share and which represent the single largest component of such potential dilution (approximately 17,850,000 shares). However, the financing agreements contain provisions that expressly prohibit the Company from issuing shares to a Sub-Debt Note holder if after the conversion, such Sub-Debt Note holder would exceed the respective limit called for in their Sub-Debt Note, either 4.99% or 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common shares, thus the Company believes that it is very unlikely that all of the 17,850,000 shares issuable to the holders of the Sub-Debt Notes would be issued at one time or even in a short period of time.

Accordingly, based on the foregoing analysis and the Company’s current capital structure, the Company has concluded that it is highly probable that the Company will have sufficient shares available to satisfy its existing option and warrant obligations for the foreseeable future. The Company will continue to evaluate this issue and if it becomes probable that there are insufficient authorized shares, the Company will consider alternative accounting treatment at that time

10. INCOME TAXES

The Company reported a benefit from income taxes of $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as a result of the receipt of a tax refund. Although the Company reported net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as a result of the non-deductibility of certain non-cash charges and accruals and the non-inclusion of certain non-cash gains for tax reporting purposes, and permanent limitations on the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards, the Company incurred a taxable loss for such period and therefore did not record a provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, approximately 70% of MediaDefender’s revenues were generated by three customers, with one customer accounting for 28%, a second customer accounting for 24%, and a third customer accounting for 18%. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, approximately 66% of MediaDefender’s revenues were from four customers, with one customer accounting for 23%, a second customer accounting for 17%, a third customer accounting for 13%, and a fourth customer accounting for 13%. At March 31, 2008, the amounts due from these three customers were approximately $1,775,000, $655,000, and $134,000, respectively, which were included in accounts receivable.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, MediaDefender purchased approximately 90% of its bandwidth from four suppliers. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, MediaDefender purchased approximately 74% of its bandwidth from three suppliers.

At March 31, 2008, amounts payable to these suppliers aggregated approximately $276,000. Although there are other suppliers of bandwidth, a change in suppliers could cause delays, which could adversely affect operations in the short-term.

Segment Information:

Information with respect to the Company’s operating segments for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 is presented below.

The factors for determining reportable segments were based on services and products. Each segment is responsible for executing a unique marketing and business strategy. The Company evaluates performance based on, among other factors, earnings or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA also excludes stock-based compensation, changes in the fair value of warrant liability and derivative liability, and other non-cash write-offs and charges. Included in Adjusted EBITDA are direct operating expenses for each segment.

The following table summarizes net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA by operating segment for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. Corporate expenses consist of general operating expenses that are not directly related to the operations of the segments. A reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is also provided.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview:

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ARTISTdirect Internet Group, Inc., conducts its media and e-commerce business operations through an online music network appealing to music fans, artists and marketing partners. The ARTISTdirect Network consists of the Company’s flagship website (www.artistdirect.com) and a network of related music and entertainment websites offering multi-media content, music news and information, communities organized around shared music interests, music-related specialty commerce, and digital music services. The Company sells advertising for its own website and on behalf of its network affiliates.

The Company’s www.artistdirect.com website was recently redesigned and has attracted significantly increased traffic since its relaunch in April 2008. In March of 2008, The Artistdirect network was rated fourth behind AOL music, Yahoo music and MTV Networks by Comscore Media Metrix in music related sites. In addition to music-related content, the website now includes movie reviews and ticketing, and additional new features are planned to be introduced later in 2008. The Company also recently signed a lyrics license agreement with a major music publisher and expects to conclude agreements with the other major music publishers in the near future, as a result of which the Company will begin to include music lyrics within its own website.

On July 28, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of MediaDefender, Inc., a privately-held Delaware corporation, (“MediaDefender”). The stockholders of MediaDefender received aggregate consideration of $42,500,000 in cash, subject to certain holdbacks and adjustments described in the Merger Agreement. In order to fund the acquisition of MediaDefender, the Company completed a $15,000,000 senior secured debt transaction and a $30,000,000 convertible subordinated debt transaction. The two founders of MediaDefender, Randy Saaf, who serves as the Chief Executive Officer of MediaDefender, and Octavio Herrera, who serves as the President of MediaDefender, each invested $2,250,000 in the convertible subordinated debt transaction entered into to fund the acquisition of MediaDefender on the same terms and conditions as the other investors in such financing.

MediaDefender is the leading provider of anti-piracy solutions in the Internet-piracy-protection (“IPP”) industry. Revenues related to MediaDefender’s anti-piracy activities declined in 2007 as compared to 2006 and management anticipates a further decline in 2008. The largest source of this decline is due to reduced spending on the part of the major music labels due to a significant reduction in their sales and profitability (see “Net Revenue” below).

During 2007, MediaDefender began offering advertisers specific programs to download branded content on file-sharing networks. Such advertising-based programs provided annual revenues of approximately $560,000 during 2007, and management believes such activities could be a significant factor in 2008 and beyond as advertisers become more familiar with branded promotion activities on peer-to-peer networks, which currently carry the majority of internet traffic. The Company is attempting to generate advertising-related revenue to offset anticipated declines in revenues from anti-piracy programs, especially those related to music.

Going Concern:

As a result, in December 2006, the Company was required to suspend the use of its then effective registration statement for the holders of its senior and subordinated indebtedness. In addition to this initial default, the Company has since entered into other events of default which continue to be in effect as of December 31, 2007. During 2007, the Company entered into a series of forbearance agreements with the investors in the senior notes with respect to these defaults.

Critical Accounting Policies:

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company 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 ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates with respect to allowances for bad debts, impairment of long-lived assets, impairment of fixed assets, stock-based compensation, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and the change in fair value of the warrant liability and derivative liability. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes that the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements: revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets, derivative instruments, income taxes, and accounts receivable. These accounting policies are discussed in “Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation” contained in the Company’s December 31, 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, as well as in the notes to the December 31, 2007 consolidated financial statements. There have not been any significant changes to these accounting policies since they were previously reported at December 31, 2007.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”), which revises the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require (i) the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity, (ii) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, (iii) changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently as equity transactions, (iv) when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, with the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary being measured using the fair value of any noncontrolling equity investment rather than the carrying amount of that retained investment, and (v) entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 amends FASB No. 128 to provide that the calculation of earnings per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements will continue to be based on the amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 shall be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company has not yet determined the affect on its consolidated financial statements, if any, upon adoption of SFAS No. 160.

The Company evaluates performance based on, among other factors, earnings or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes stock-based compensation, changes in the fair value of warrant liability and derivative liability, and other non-cash write-offs and charges. Management excludes these items in assessing financial performance, primarily due to their non-operational nature or because they are outside of the Company’s normal operations. The Company has provided this information because management believes that it is useful to investors in understanding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA enhances an overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance by investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating companies in its industry segment. In addition, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance compared to that of other companies in its industry segment because the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the accounting effects of financing costs, income taxes and capital spending, which items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

However, Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP, and when analyzing the Company’s operating performance, investors should use Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, standard GAAP financial measures such as net income (loss) or cash flow from operations, or any other measure utilized in determining the Company’s operating performance that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures utilized by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA eliminates certain substantial recurring items from net income (loss), such as depreciation, amortization, interest expense and income taxes, among others. Each of these items has been incurred in the past, will continue to be incurred in the future, and should be considered in the overall evaluation of the Company’s operating performance. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, both in the reconciliation to the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) and in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s operating performance. Furthermore, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of the Company’s free cash flow or liquidity in general, as it does not consider certain ongoing cash requirements, such as a required debt service payments and income taxes.

Net Revenue. The Company’s net revenue decreased by $1,245,000 or 22.9%, to $4,201,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $5,446,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, primarily as a result of decreases in MediaDefender revenues of $951,000 and e-commerce revenues of $388,000, offset by an increase in media revenues of $94,000. MediaDefender’s revenue accounted for 68.8% of the Company’s total net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to 70.5% of the Company’s total net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

MediaDefender’s revenue decreased by $951,000 or 24.8%, to $2,890,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $3,841,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Revenues decreased in 2008 as compared to 2007 as a result of reduced spending on the part of major music labels due in substantial part to a significant reduction in their sales and profitability. Specifically, MediaDefender’s anti-piracy revenues have been negatively impacted by the loss of one customer in November 2007 that accounted for 4% of MediaDefender’s 2007 annual revenue, citing cost pressures subsequent to a change in ownership, and the loss of another customer in January 2008 that accounted for 12% of MediaDefender’s 2007 annual revenues, noting that they were evaluating the use of alternative methods to deal with piracy. During May 2008, the Company was advised that a customer that accounted for 18% of MediaDefender’s 2007 annual revenues and 26% of MediaDefender’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was reducing its expected usage of MediaDefender’s services during the remainder of 2008 by approximately 36%, citing a desire to focus on new releases instead of catalogue titles and the completion of a review of the effectiveness of anti-piracy countermeasures. Management expects MediaDefender anti-piracy revenues will continue to decline in 2008 as compared to 2007. The Company intends to closely monitor revenues within this segment during the remainder of 2008 and, if warranted, will record an impairment loss to the carrying value of this segment’s goodwill.

Media revenue increased by $94,000 or 8.5%, to $1,205,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $1,111,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Media revenue increased in 2008 as compared to 2007 in part as a result of the Company entering into a strategic partnership with T-Mobile in April 2007 with the launch of a specially designed United Kingdom counterpart to the Company’s United States-based online music destination web-site. The United Kingdom version of ARTISTdirect.com (www.ARTISTdirect.com/uk) includes numerous T-Mobile enhancements, including exclusive branded content provided by T-Mobile. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, approximately $175,000 or 17% of media revenues were generated by T-Mobile. This contract concluded during March 2008.

The Company markets and sells advertising on a CPM basis to advertising agencies and directly to various companies seeking to reach one or more of the distinct demographic audiences viewing content in the ARTISTdirect Network. The Company also markets and sells sponsorships for various portions of the ARTISTdirect Network. Customers may purchase advertising space on the entire ARTISTdirect Network, or they may tailor advertising to specific areas or sections of the Company’s web-sites.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s media revenues were generated by two outside sales organizations that represented the Company with respect to advertising and sponsorship on the Company’s web-site and through affiliated web-sites, as well as by in-house sales personnel. During the three months March 31, 2008, approximately 32% of media revenues were generated from two customers, with one customer accounting for 17% and a second customer accounting for 15%.

E-commerce revenue decreased by $388,000 or 78.5%, to $106,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $494,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Due to limited opportunities for revenue growth and acceptable gross margins, the Company had been de-emphasizing e-commerce activities over the past few years. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, approximately 59% of e-commerce revenues were generated from the products related to a single music merchandising entity. Effective August 31, 2007, the Company restructured its relationship with this music merchandising entity to eliminate such merchandise sales and focus on music sales, which has had a significant negative impact on e-commerce sales since such date. As a result, although e-commerce sales decreased significantly in 2008 as compared to 2007, such restructuring had limited impact on e-commerce net operating margins, since the Company was able to implement significant internal cost savings as a result of this restructing.

Cost of Revenue. The Company’s total cost of revenue decreased by $76,000 or 2.3%, to $3,239,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $3,315,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, primarily as a result of a decrease in e-commerce cost of revenue of $410,000, offset by increases in MediaDefender cost of revenue of $255,000 and media cost of revenues of $79,000. Depreciation of property and equipment is included in cost of revenue for all business segments.

MediaDefender’s cost of revernues increased by $255,000 or 11.6%, to $2,460,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $2,205,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. As a result, MediaDefender’s cost of revenue was 85.1% of its net revenue in 2008, as compared to 57.4% of its net revenue in 2007. MediaDefender has been experiencing increased bandwidth, personnel and occupancy costs, which had a negative impact on cost of revenue in 2008 as compared to 2007. Also included in MediaDefender’s cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was the amortization of proprietary technology acquired in the MediaDefender transaction of $634,000.

Media cost of revenue increased by $79,000 or 13.2%, to $679,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $600,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. As a result, Media cost of revenue was 56.3% of its net revenue for 2008, as compared to 54.0% of its net revenue in 2007.

E-commerce cost of revenue decreased by $410,000 or 80.4%, to $100,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $510,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in e-commerce cost of revenue in 2008 as compared to 2007 was a result of the Company restructuring its relationship with a music merchandising entity to eliminate certain merchandise sales and focus on music sales, as described above in “Net Revenue”.

As a result of the foregoing, gross profit was $962,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $2,131,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, reflecting gross margins of 22.9% and 39.1%, respectively. A summary of gross profit and gross margin by segment is as follows ($000):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2008				2007
Segment:	Gross Profit		Gross Margin		Gross Profit (Loss)			Gross Margin
E-commerce	$	6	5.7	%	$	(16	)	(3.2	)%
Media	526		43.7	%	511			46.0	%
Anti-piracy and file-sharing marketing services	430		14.9	%	1,636			42.6	%
Totals	$	962	22.9	%	$	2,131		39.1	%

Sales and Marketing. The Company’s sales and marketing expense increased by $87,000 or 23.0%, to $465,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $378,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in sales and marketing expense in 2008 as compared to 2007 was primarily as a result of additional headcount and personnel-related costs. Also included in sales and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 is the amortization of customer relationships acquired in the MediaDefender transaction of $189,000.

General and Administrative. The Company’s general and administrative expense increased by $554,000 or 21.7%, to $3,105,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $2,551,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Significant components of general and administrative expense consists of management compensation (and bonuses, when applicable), personnel and personnel-related costs, insurance, legal and accounting fees, board compensation, consulting fees, occupancy costs and the provision for doubtful accounts. Also included in general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 are stock-based compensation costs of $697,000 and $455,000, respectively, and the amortization of non-competition agreements of $66,000 and $116,000, respectively, resulting from the MediaDefender transaction.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company incurred legal, accounting, consulting and printing fees and costs of approximately $597,000 and $428,000, respectively, relating to the preparation and filing of various documents with the SEC, negotiations with senior and subordinated note holders, review and analysis of various restructuring alternatives, amendments to financing agreements, and other ordinary course legal and accounting matters. As a result of the event of defaults related to the Company’s senior and subordinated debt agreements (see “Going Concern” above), the Company expects to incur significant continuing costs in this regard in 2008.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded a charge to general and administrative expense and an accrued liability of $175,000 with respect to the accrual of annual performance bonuses payable to MediaDefender’s senior management pursuant to their respective employment agreements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded a charge to operations and an accrued liability of $350,000 to record the severance payment with respect to the Amended and Restated Services Agreement dated as of March 6, 2008 between the Company and the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer. The Company also recorded stock-based compensation costs of $571,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 with respect to this settlement.

Development and Engineering. Development and engineering costs were $117,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. Development and engineering costs consist primarily of third-party development costs and payroll and related expenses for in-house development costs incurred in the design and production of the Company’s content and services, including revisions to the Company’s web-site, and are charged to operations as incurred.

Loss from Operations. As a result of the aforementioned factors, the loss from operations was $2,725,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to a loss from operations of $915,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Interest Income. Interest income was $30,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $56,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Interest Expense. Interest expense of $2,120,000 and $1,860,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, relates to the $15,000,000 of 11.25% secured notes payable issued in the Senior Financing and the $30,000,000 of 4.0% subordinated convertible notes payable issued in the Sub-Debt Financing, both of which were issued to finance the acquisition of MediaDefender in July 2005. Effective January 1, 2007, the interest rate on the Sub-Debt Financing increased from 4.0% to 12.0% due to the default on the Company’s senior and subordinated debt agreements in January 2007 (see “Going Concern” above). On March 17, 2008, the Company entered into a Forbearance and Consent Agreement with the investors in the Senior Financing, which was effective as of February 20, 2008, whereby the investors agreed to forbear from exercising any of their rights and remedies under the Senior Financing transaction documents through December 31, 2008 in exchange for an adjustment in the interest rate associated with the 11.25% secured notes payable from 11.25% to 15.0% per annum, provided the loan is repaid prior to September 30, 2008, or 16.0% per annum (retroactive to February 20, 2008), if the loan remains outstanding subsequent to that date.

Additional consideration in the form of warrants issued to the lenders was accounted for at fair value and recorded as a reduction to the carrying amount of the debt, and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt. Accordingly, the amortization of this discount on debt included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $179,000 and $177,000, respectively.

The Sub-Debt Notes contain several embedded derivative features that have been accounted for at fair value. The various embedded derivative features of the Sub-Debt Notes have been valued at the date of inception of the Sub-Debt Financing and at the end of each reporting period thereafter. The value of the embedded derivatives were bifurcated from the Sub-Debt Notes and recorded as derivative liability, with the initial amount recorded as discount on the related Sub-Debt Notes. This discount is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Sub-Debt Notes. Accordingly, the amortization of this discount on debt included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $590,000 and $583,000, respectively.

Other Income (Expense). Other income was $45,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to other expense of $6,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability. In accordance with EITF 00-19, the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the financing of the MediaDefender acquisition in July 2005 was recorded as warrant liability. The carrying value of the warrants is adjusted quarterly to reflect any changes in the fair value such liability and is included in the statement of operations as other income (expense). For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded income of $65,000 and $1,226,000, respectively, to reflect the change in warrant liability during such periods.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability. In accordance with EITF 00-19, the fair value of the embedded derivatives was bifurcated from the subordinated convertible notes payable issued in connection with the financing of the MediaDefender acquisition in July 2005 and recorded as a derivative liability. The carrying value of the derivative liability is adjusted quarterly to reflect any changes in the fair value of such liability and is included in the statement of operations as other income (expense). For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded income of $171,000 and $5,241,000, respectively, to reflect the change in derivative liability during such periods.

Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs. Amortization of deferred financing costs was $210,000 and $207,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Deferred financing costs consist of consideration paid to third parties with respect to the acquisition and financing of the MediaDefender transaction, including cash payments, subordinated convertible notes payable and the fair value of warrants issued for placement agent fees, which were deferred and are being amortized over the term of the related debt.

Write-Off of Unamortized Discount on Debt and Deferred Financing Costs Resulting from Principal Payments on Senior Secured Notes Payable. Deferred financing costs and debt discount costs aggregating $26,000 were charged to operations as a result of principal payments on senior secured notes payable during the three months ended March 31, 2008. There were no principal payments on senior secured notes payable during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes. As a result of the aforementioned factors, the loss before income taxes was $4,770,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to income before income taxes of $3,535,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Benefit from Income Taxes. The Company reported a benefit from income taxes of $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as a result of the receipt of a tax refund. Although the Company reported net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as a result of the non-deductibility of certain non-cash charges and accruals and the non-inclusion of certain non-cash gains for tax reporting purposes, and permanent limitations on the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards, the Company incurred a taxable loss for such period and therefore did not record a provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Net Income (Loss). As a result of the aforementioned factors, the Company had a net loss of $4,760,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to net income of $3,535,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources – March 31, 2008:

As more fully described above at “Going Concern”, as a result of communications with the Staff of the SEC in 2006, in particular regarding the application of accounting rules and interpretations related to embedded derivatives associated with the Company’s subordinated convertible notes payable issued in July 2005, the Company determined that it was necessary to restate previously issued financial statements.

As a result, in December 2006, the Company was required to suspend the use of its then effective registration statement for the holders of its senior and subordinated indebtedness and thus incurred an event of default with respect to it registration rights agreements with the holders of such indebtedness. Accordingly, December 20, 2006, the Company began to incur liquidated damages under its registration rights agreements aggregating approximately $540,000 per month , and the interest rate on its subordinated convertible notes payable increased from 4.0% per annum to 12.0% per annum as of January 1, 2007, an increase of approximately $183,000 per month. On July 6, 2007, the Company’s registration statement was declared effective by the SEC, thus making it available to the investors in the Senior Financing and the Sub-Debt Financing.

A summary of the registration penalty accrual at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 is presented below.

	March 31, 2008		December 31, 2007

Senior secured notes payable	$	—	$	410,000

Pursuant to a series of Forbearance and Consent Agreements with the investors in the Senior Financing, such investors agreed to forbear from the exercise of their rights and remedies under the Senior Financing documents as a result of the events of default which were then in existence during the period, from April 17, 2007 through February 20, 2008, in exchange for aggregate cash payments of $1,000,000 in 2007 and $494,423 in February 2008. The payments made by the Company under the Forbearance and Consent Agreements were credited against the registration delay cash penalties and interest on the penalties resulting from the Company’s default under the various agreements between the Company and the Senior Financing investors. On March 17, 2008, the Company entered into a Forbearance and Consent Agreement with the investors in the Company’s Senior Debt Financing, which was effective as of February 20, 2008, whereby the investors agreed to forbear from exercising any of their rights and remedies under the Senior Financing transaction documents through December 31, 2008 in exchange for an adjustment in the interest rate associated with the Senior Notes from 11.25% to 15.0% per annum, provided the loan is repaid prior to September 30, 2008, or 16.0% per annum, if the loan remains outstanding subsequent to that date.

Overview:

Until the acquisition of MediaDefender effective July 28, 2005, the Company financed its continuing operations primarily from the sale of its equity securities. Concurrent with the acquisition of MediaDefender in July 2005, the Company completed a $15,000,000 Senior Financing and a $30,000,000 Sub-Debt Financing, which generated approximately $1,000,000 for general working capital purposes. In addition, MediaDefender had working capital of $2,745,000 at the acquisition date.
