CONSENT SOLICITATION AND PROSPECTUS FOR CRYPTOMETRICS STOCKHOLDERS
 
This Consent Solicitation/Prospectus is being provided to Cryptometrics stockholders in connection with a proposed merger of Cryptometrics with a subsidiary of JAG Media as provided in an agreement and plan of merger dated December 27, 2005, as amended to date (“Merger Agreement”).
 
This Consent Solicitation/Prospectus is being mailed to Cryptometrics stockholders to solicit their written consent to an action to authorize the Merger Agreement, which the majority stockholders of Cryptometrics are contractually obligated to authorize, and describe the Merger Agreement as it has been amended to date.
 
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Cryptometrics stockholders, including those who are currently holding shares in its Canadian subsidiary exchangeable for Cryptometrics common stock, will receive 394,700,016 shares of JAG Media common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“JAG Media Common Stock”), as follows:
 
  •  The holders of 10,500 shares of Cryptometrics common stock with special subscription rights will be entitled to receive shares of JAG Media Common Stock with a fixed value, based on the post-merger opening price of such shares as shown on the Pink Sheets, equal to 125% of the $10 per share purchase price of their Cryptometrics common stock, for an aggregate of $131,250 fixed value of shares of JAG Media Common Stock.
 
  •  The holders of 769,250 shares of Cryptometrics common stock with special subscription rights will be entitled to receive shares of JAG Media Common Stock with a fixed value, based on the post-merger opening price of such shares as shown on the Pink Sheets, equal to 200% of the $10 per share purchase price of their Cryptometrics common stock, for an aggregate of $15,385,000 fixed value of shares of JAG Media Common Stock.
 
  •  All other holders of approximately 11,202,000 shares of Cryptometrics common stock including holders of exchangeable shares of its Canadian subsidiary, will be entitled to receive the remaining shares of JAG Media Common Stock pro rata to their shareholdings. Neither the value nor number of shares of JAG Media Common Stock to be received by such shareholders is determinable at this time.
 
See page 39 for a full definition and example of the exchange multiple described above.
 
JAG Media Common Stock currently trades “Over-the-Counter” and is quoted on the Pink Sheets under the symbol “JAGH”. On January 31, 2008, the closing bid price of JAG Media’s Common Stock as reported on the Pink Sheets was $0.88 per share. Cryptometrics common stock is not traded on any recognized stock exchange.
 
Holders of Cryptometrics common stock who do not submit a written consent to authorize the Merger Agreement and who perfect their appraisal rights will be entitled to appraisal rights with respect to their shares of Cryptometrics common stock in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
 
The current date set for the merger to occur (the “Closing”) is March 7, 2008. However, JAG Media and Cryptometrics may agree to postpone such date. To be accepted your written consent must be received by Cryptometrics prior to the Closing, but in any case prior to 20 days after the mailing of this Consent Solicitation/Prospectus.
 
NOTE:  Do not send in your stock certificates for shares of Cryptometrics common stock until you have been notified by Cryptometrics. Due to arrangements being made by Cryptometrics with the transfer agent to expedite your receipt of JAG Media shares, you will not be required to submit your current Cryptometrics stock certificates.
 
See “Risk Factors” on page 12 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider before participating in the exchange offer.
 
NEITHER THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OF THE PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
 
February   , 2008

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER
 
Q: WHY HAS CRYPTOMETRICS NOT SCHEDULED A STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETING?
 
A: As permitted under Delaware law, Cryptometrics stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of Cryptometrics common stock, par value $0.001 per share, (“Cryptometrics Common Stock”) have agreed to approve the Merger Agreement without the need for a meeting by providing their written consents. The majority shareholders are Robert Barra and Michael A. Vitale, who each own 28.07% of the outstanding Cryptometrics Common Stock entitled to vote on the Merger Agreement.
 
Q: IF I DECIDE NOT TO GIVE MY CONSENT TO THE MERGER, HOW WILL MY SHARES OF CRYPTOMETRICS COMMON STOCK BE AFFECTED?
 
A: As the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock entitled to vote have agreed to provide their written consents to authorize the Merger Agreement, the Merger may take place as scheduled regardless of whether or not you consent in writing.
 
Q: HOW DO I PARTICIPATE IN THE CONSENT SOLICITATION?
 
A: If you are a Cryptometrics shareholder entitled to vote as of the close of business on December 5, 2007, you are requested to complete and sign the enclosed “Written Consent of Stockholder(s) of Cryptometrics, Inc. In Lieu of Meeting” as it relates to your Cryptometrics Common Stock and return it using the pre-addressed envelope provided to you. A form of such consent is also attached as Appendix A.
 
Q: WILL I HAVE TO PAY ANY FEES OR COMMISSIONS IF I CONSENT TO THE MERGER?
 
A: No.
 
Q: WHAT WILL CRYPTOMETRICS STOCKHOLDERS RECEIVE IN THE MERGER?
 
A: Holders of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time the Certificate of Merger is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, including as outstanding for this purpose the total number of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock (the “Cryptometrics Exchange Shares”) for which outstanding exchangeable shares of Cryptometrics’ Canadian subsidiary, Cryptometrics Canada, Inc. (the “Exchangeable Shares”), can be exchanged, will be entitled to receive 394,700,016 shares of fully paid and nonassessable JAG Media Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”).
 
The number of shares of JAG Media Common Stock to be issued in connection with the merger carried out pursuant to the Merger Agreement (“Merger”) is fixed and will not be adjusted based upon changes in the value of those shares.
 
Such shares of JAG Media Common Stock receivable by the holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock (including the Cryptometrics Exchange Shares) will represent approximately 87% of the outstanding shares of the merged companies after the Merger is consummated.
 
Holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock will in general receive shares of JAG Media Common Stock in proportion to their holdings of Cryptometrics Common Stock compared to all outstanding shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock (including as outstanding the Cryptometrics Exchange Shares) at the time of the Merger, subject to certain adjustments. A limited number of Cryptometrics stockholders holding 779,750 shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock, as of April 30, 2007, by virtue of subscription agreements with Cryptometrics, will receive a greater or lesser number of a merger candidate’s shares (in this case JAG Media shares). They will be entitled to own shares of the merger candidate’s common stock (now JAG Media Common Stock) with an aggregate fixed value following the effectiveness of the Merger (based on the post-Merger opening price on the OTC Bulletin Board or Pink Sheets) of $15,516,250, equal to 200% (in the case of 769,250 shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock) or 125% (in the case of 10,500 shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock) of the original aggregate purchase price of their shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock under their subscription agreements, which in each case was $10.00 per share. The remaining number of shares of JAG Media Common Stock available to other stockholders of Cryptometrics will then be shared by such other stockholders pro rata to the number of shares held by each compared to the aggregate number shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock

(including the Cryptometrics Exchange Shares) held by all of such other stockholders (including the holders of the Exchangeable Shares). Such other Cryptometrics stockholders will not know the amount or value of the JAG Media Common Stock that they will receive until after the Merger is consummated.
 
No fractional shares of JAG Media Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger.
 
Q: SHOULD I SEND IN MY STOCK CERTIFICATES NOW?
 
A: No. You do not need to do so, and should not send in your stock certificates, whether or not the Merger is completed, until you are notified.
 
In order to expedite the necessary share exchange, Cryptometrics is arranging with JAG Media’s transfer agent for a new Direct Registration System to be established. It will reflect the number of shares of JAG Media Common Stock to which each Cryptometrics stockholder is entitled, including an indication of which shares can be sold immediately (35%) and which cannot be sold for one year from Closing (65%). If the Merger is completed, a statement of holdings with such information will be mailed to each stockholder. This statement can be provided to a broker who can then request electronic delivery of free trading positions.
 
Alternatively, Cryptometrics stockholders can be sent written instructions for exchanging their stock certificates to obtain physical stock certificates for the JAG Media shares of Common Stock to which they are entitled. Cryptometrics stockholders should note that this will be a more time consuming procedure than utilizing the Direct Registration System.
 
Q: WILL CRYPTOMETRICS STOCKHOLDERS BE SUBJECT TO TAXATION?
 
A: Cryptometrics and JAG Media have agreed that it is a condition to the Closing of the Merger that Cryptometrics and JAG Media receive an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Merger (together with certain related transactions) will qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such opinion will be based on certain assumptions and will rely upon the accuracy of certain representations made by officers of JAG Media and Cryptometrics. Except as noted below, if the Merger is treated as a “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Cryptometrics stockholders will generally not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the exchange of their Cryptometrics Common Stock for JAG Media Common Stock in the Merger. It is possible that a portion of the JAG Media Common Stock received by Cryptometrics stockholders will be treated as a distribution received on their Cryptometrics shares, with such distribution being taxable as a dividend to the extent of Cryptometrics’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for United States federal income tax purposes, and thereafter as a return of basis to the extent thereof and then as gain on a deemed disposition of shares. JAG Media believes, based on information received from Cryptometrics, that Cryptometrics will not have current or accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes as of the Closing of the Merger. Cryptometrics stockholders should refer to the discussion below in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger”.
 
Q: WHEN IS THE MERGER GOING TO BE COMPLETED?
 
A: JAG Media will complete the Merger upon satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The currently scheduled closing date is March 7, 2008, but may be postponed.
 
Q: ARE CRYPTOMETRICS STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO APPRAISAL RIGHTS?
 
A: Yes. Under Delaware law, holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock will have the right to seek appraisal of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery if the Merger is completed, but only if they do not provide their written consent authorizing the Merger Agreement, do submit a written demand for an appraisal within 20 days after the date of the mailing of this Consent Solicitation/Prospectus and otherwise comply with the Delaware law procedures explained herein. Written Consents will be accepted prior to the Closing, but in any case no later than the end of such 20 day period. In the event that holders of more than 100,000 shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock choose to exercise their appraisal rights, Cryptometrics will be under no obligation to consummate the Merger.

Such other Cryptometrics stockholders will not know the amount or value of the JAG Media Common Stock that they will receive until after the Merger is consummated.
 
No fractional shares of JAG Media Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger. Unless the value of the fractional share of JAG Media Common Stock which otherwise would have been issued by virtue of the Merger to a Cryptometrics stockholder exceeds an aggregate cash amount of One Dollar ($1.00), determined as provided below, such Cryptometrics stockholder shall not be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share of JAG Media Common Stock. In the event that the value of the fractional share of JAG Media Common Stock to be issued by virtue of the Merger to a Cryptometrics stockholder exceeds One Dollar ($1.00), any such Cryptometrics stockholder entitled to receive a fractional share of JAG Media Common Stock will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share in an amount determined by JAG Media to be equal to such fraction multiplied by the arithmetic mean of the closing prices of JAG Media Common Stock on the Pink Sheets over the 20 trading days ending three trading days prior to the closing date of the transaction. No fractional shares of JAG Media Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger.
 
The number of shares of JAG Media Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger is fixed and will not be adjusted based upon changes in the value of those shares. The value of the shares of JAG Media Common Stock that Cryptometrics stockholders will receive will fluctuate as the market price for JAG Media Common Stock changes. On January 31, 2008 the last reported per share sale price of JAG Media Common Stock as quoted on the Pink Sheets was $0.91 per share. The actual market value of the JAG Media Common Stock to be issued in the Merger, however, will depend on the market price of JAG Media Common Stock on the closing date, which may be more or less than the sale price stated above. Also, there can be no assurance that the value of the JAG Media Common Stock will not decline upon issuance of such shares in the amounts contemplated by the transaction, even if the sale of the shares is restricted as described above.
 
Immediately after the Merger, Cryptometrics stockholders (including holders of the Exchangeable Shares) will own (or be entitled to) 394,700,016 shares of JAG Media Common Stock, equivalent to approximately 87% of the outstanding JAG Media Common Stock.
 
REASONS FOR THE MERGER (SEE PAGES 34)
 
Cryptometrics believes that JAG Media’s acquisition of Cryptometrics will provide significant benefits to the stockholders of Cryptometrics. The Merger will effectively create a public trading market for Cryptometrics Common Stock. The Board of Directors of Cryptometrics unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the related Merger.
 
U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES (SEE PAGE 36)
 
Counsel to JAG Media has opined, based on representations received from officers of JAG Media and Cryptometrics and on certain assumptions, that the Merger (together with certain related transactions) will qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368 of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The representations relied upon include a representation to the effect that, based on values as of the last business day before the closing date for the Merger, the aggregate fair market value of the JAG Media Common Stock and other consideration received by each holder of Cryptometrics Common Stock will be approximately equal to the fair market value of the Cryptometrics Common Stock surrendered by such holder in exchange therefor pursuant to the Merger. Such opinion is also subject to certain qualifications, including, without limitation, the qualification that it is based on law

in effect on the date of the opinion. Except as noted below, if the Merger (together with certain related transactions) is treated as a reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock will generally not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the exchange of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock for JAG Media Common Stock in the Merger It is possible, notwithstanding treatment as a reorganization, that a portion of the JAG Media Common Stock received by Cryptometrics stockholders (generally, that portion of such shares as is determined to be attributable to payments by Cryptometrics of JAG Media expenses) will be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a distribution received on their Cryptometrics shares, with such distribution being taxable as a dividend to the extent of Cryptometric’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), and thereafter as a return of basis to the extent thereof and then as gain on a deemed disposition of shares. JAG Media believes, based on information received from Cryptometrics, that Cryptometrics will not have current or accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes as of the Closing of the Merger.
 
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT (SEE PAGE 36)
 
For financial statement purposes, Cryptometrics is the acquiring company and this transaction will be treated as a “reverse” purchase by Cryptometrics of JAG Media. The identifiable tangible and intangible assets and the liabilities of JAG Media will be recorded by Cryptometrics at their fair values and any excess cost will ultimately be recorded as goodwill. The assets and liabilities of Cryptometrics will continue to be recorded at their historical carrying values. The reported financial condition and results of operations of the combined companies after the Merger will reflect these values, but will not be retroactively restated to reflect the historical financial position or results of JAG Media.

INTERESTS OF THE DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF CRYPTOMETRICS IN THE MERGER (SEE PAGE 69)
 
Directors and officers of Cryptometrics have interests in the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as Cryptometrics stockholders. Specifically, if the Merger is completed, the existing directors and executive officers of Cryptometrics will become the directors and are expected to become the senior management of JAG Media (to be renamed Cryptometrics, Inc.).
 
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS AND PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION (SEE PAGE 70)
 
In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, stockholders of Cryptometrics shall not be permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of sixty-five percent (65%) of the JAG Media Common Stock received in conjunction with the Merger for a period of twelve months from the closing date of the transaction. Subject to compliance with all relevant securities laws, thirty-five percent (35%) of the shares of JAG Media Common Stock issued to the Cryptometrics stockholders in connection with the Merger shall not be subject to the twelve-month lock-up provision. Although Cryptometrics does not have a separate binding agreement with its stockholders regarding the disposition of the JAG Media Common Stock that they are to receive in connection with the Merger, Cryptometrics views them as bound by the described restriction because it is part of the Merger Agreement which requires the approval of the stockholders of Cryptometrics. In any case, the JAG Media Common Stock received by the Cryptometrics stockholders in the Merger will be received subject to such restriction which will be enforced by a mechanism imposed by the transfer agent.
 
The Form S-4, which includes this prospectus, separately registers the resale of the shares of JAG Media Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger to the current Co-Chief Executive Officers of Cryptometrics, Robert Barra and Michael A. Vitale, and the current Chief Strategy Officer of Cryptometrics, Joel Shaw, so that such shares shall be saleable by them subject to the lock-up restrictions noted above.
 
RISK FACTORS (SEE PAGE 12)
 
The Merger involves a number of risks. The stockholders of Cryptometrics should carefully consider these risks, certain of which are described under the heading “Risk Factors”.
 
APPRAISAL RIGHTS (SEE PAGE 25)
 
If the Merger is completed, Cryptometrics stockholders who do not submit a written consent to authorize the Merger Agreement may, under certain circumstances, exercise appraisal rights under the applicable laws of the State of Delaware. Such stockholders may be entitled to appraisal rights with respect to their shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock.

  •  competition in Cryptometrics’ industry is extremely intense and may increase;
 
  •  third parties may infringe Cryptometrics’ proprietary intellectual property rights;
 
  •  issues and difficulties that are faced in connection with the continued development and improvement of software;
 
  •  litigation involving matters such as intellectual property, securities, employees and customer issues may adversely affect the businesses of Cryptometrics and JAG Media;

RISK FACTORS
 
The Merger proposed in the Merger Agreement poses a high degree of risk for both the stockholders of JAG Media and the stockholders of Cryptometrics. Before deciding whether to exchange their shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock for JAG Media Common Stock or perfect their appraisal rights, stockholders of Cryptometrics are urged to carefully consider the following.
 
RISKS RELATED TO JAG MEDIA’S BUSINESS
 
JAG MEDIA HAS A HISTORY OF LOSSES, ANTICIPATES LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE AND MAY NEVER ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY.
 
As of October 31, 2007, JAG Media had an accumulated deficit of $59,113,989. JAG Media may never achieve operating profitability. As a result, JAG Media believes that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and its independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph to emphasize such doubt in their report on the audit of JAG Media’s financial statements included in this Consent Solicitation/Prospectus. JAG Media has made, and will continue to make, very significant expenditures well before its revenues increase sufficiently to cover these additional costs. JAG Media is not able to estimate when, if ever, its revenues will increase sufficiently to cover these costs. Internet users have only been attracted to subscription sites in limited areas. JAG Media subscription revenues are materially below its costs. JAG Media will continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future and cannot assure you that its revenue will grow in the future or that additional financing will be made available to it. Many dot-com companies have found it difficult to raise funds, and a number of such companies have gone bankrupt. If JAG Media requires additional funding and does not obtain it, JAG Media may be forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy or cease operations, any of which could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in JAG Media common stock.
 
JAG MEDIA WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO MEET ITS CASH OPERATING EXPENSES AND ACHIEVE ITS CURRENT BUSINESS STRATEGY.
 
JAG Media will require more capital to meet its current operating expenses as well as any non-recurring costs or liabilities and to achieve its current business strategy. As JAG Media requires additional funds to sustain its operations as well as refocus its business and search for appropriate merger candidates it will have to seek additional equity or other financing. Such financing is very difficult for JAG Media to achieve and may not be available. Even if it is, it may be on terms that are materially adverse to your interests with respect to dilution of book value, dividend preferences, liquidation preferences, or other terms.
 
JAG Media cannot guarantee that it will be able to obtain additional financing as it needs it. When JAG Media operations require additional financing, if JAG Media is unable to obtain such financing on reasonable terms, JAG Media would be forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy or cease operations, any of which could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in JAG Media common stock.
 
JAG MEDIA HAS NO ARRANGEMENTS CURRENTLY IN EFFECT, SUCH AS THE EQUITY LINE IT HAS HISTORICALLY USED, TO PROVIDE IT WITH FUTURE LIQUIDITY.
 
As a condition of JAG Media financing in May 2006, JAG Media was required to cancel its existing equity line purchase agreement. Accordingly, JAG Media will not have access to its historical source of liquidity. As JAG Media anticipates that it will continue to have negative cash flow, the only foreseeable source of liquidity is through the sale of JAG Media equity. Without access to the readily available mechanism of an equity line, it will be more difficult and time consuming for JAG Media to arrange private placements or other sales of JAG Media common stock. If JAG Media is unable to raise money by selling JAG Media common stock through private placements or otherwise, it will be unable to meet its cash needs. If JAG Media is unable to meet its cash needs, JAG Media may be forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy or cease operations, any of which could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in JAG Media common stock.

JAG MEDIA MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STOP CONTRACTION OF JAG MEDIA SUBSCRIBER REVENUES AND ATTRACT SUFFICIENT INSTITUTIONAL CUSTOMERS.
 
JAG Media’s subscriber base has been shrinking and JAG Media has determined that it cannot expand its retail subscriber base for its traditional product. JAG Media believes that it must refocus its subscriber base on institutional customers to be successful, but does not currently have the funding to do so. JAG Media subscription revenues have leveled off at a level which cannot support its operating costs.
 
Although JAG Media would like to refocus its key subscriber base, its efforts have been ineffective. JAG Media’s competitors may be more successful than it is in attracting customers, or the number of institutional and other professional users seeking or willing to pay for financial information of the kind JAG Media provides may not increase or may even decrease. Any of these would adversely affect JAG Media. Because there is currently limited potential for Internet banner advertising revenues, if JAG Media cannot reverse the current shrinkage of its subscriber base or refocus such base, JAG Media will have little, if any, financial success.
 
JAG MEDIA HAS BEEN FORCED TO DISCONTINUE ITS COMMENTATORS AND THE FREE PORTION OF ITS WEBSITE WHICH MAY CAUSE JAG MEDIA TO LOSE SUBSCRIBERS.
 
In order to attempt to reduce costs, JAG Media has been forced to discontinue all its commentators as well as the entire free portion of its website. Accordingly, JAG Media runs the risk that existing and potential subscribers may not find the site valuable and its revenues may decline. Moreover, many of JAG Media’s competitors offer financial information for free and are likely to continue to do so, perhaps at an increasing rate. JAG Media’s current and potential subscribers may be unwilling to pay for its service if they feel they can receive comparable information for free.
 
JAG MEDIA HAS BEEN FORCED TO REDUCE ITS NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES WHICH MAY AFFECT THE QUALITY OF ITS REMAINING PRODUCTS AND CAUSE JAG MEDIA TO LOSE SUBSCRIBERS.
 
In order to attempt to reduce costs, JAG Media has been forced to reduce the number of its employees to two. In November 2005, JAG Media did not renew employment agreements with three of its employees. Additionally, one of JAG Media’s employees resigned in January 2006 and three more employees resigned in April 2007. Subsequently four more employees resigned. JAG Media does not intend to replace any of the foregoing employees. From November 2005 to date, the number of JAG Media employees has been reduced by approximately 85%. Accordingly, JAG Media runs the risk that the quality of its JAGNotes (Upgrade/Downgrade) Report and the Rumor Room products may be adversely affected. In such a case, existing and potential subscribers may not find its site valuable and JAG Media revenues may decline. Further development of its Pixaya products has already been indefinitely deferred, potential revenues will be delayed and may never be realized.
 
JAG MEDIA MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN ITS ATTEMPT TO REFOCUS ITS BUSINESS STRATEGY TO TARGET PRIMARILY SUBSCRIPTIONS BY INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS FOR ITS TRADITIONAL PRODUCT.
 
JAG Media’s efforts to include individual retail subscribers as part of its strategy to increase sales of JAG Media’s flagship JagNotes Report have been unsuccessful, and JAG Media has therefore decided to refocus its strategy on offering subscriptions solely to institutional investors and professional traders. Due to the uncertain nature of this undertaking and JAG Media’s lack of funding, this shift in business strategy may not be executed, or if executed may not be successful, and JAG Media may not realize any benefit from it.
 
JAG MEDIA MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL AT BUILDING BRAND AWARENESS OR BUILDING STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS.
 
JAG Media’s growth and success depends in part on its ability to build awareness of the JAG Media name. The Company changed its name to JAG Media in April 2002 after operating for almost three years under the name JagNotes.com. The JAG Media name has only limited recognition within the financial community and little if any recognition among the general public. JAG Media does not currently allocate any of its working capital to marketing


13


Table of Contents

and advertising the JAG Media name but rather relies solely upon strategic alliances to increase its name recognition. JAG Media’s ability to refocus its subscriber base, offer new services or otherwise expand the business will be limited if JAG Media cannot increase that name recognition. JAG Media cannot guarantee that it will be successful in doing so.
 
JAG MEDIA HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN SUFFICIENTLY REDUCING COSTS OR IN INCREASING REVENUES.
 
JAG Media’s costs continue to exceed its revenues, even though JAG Media believes it has reduced its costs as much as practically possible. At the same time, JAG Media revenues remain low. If such trends continue, JAG Media may be unable to meet its cash needs and it may be forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy or cease operations, any of which could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in JAG Media common stock.
 
JAG MEDIA MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIND OR CONSUMMATE A SUITABLE MERGER OR ACQUISITION.
 
JAG Media is actively looking for merger or acquisition candidates that would be beneficial to it. Over the past few years, JAG Media has entered into negotiations with several companies, but was able to complete only one very small acquisition. JAG Media cannot assure you that it will be able to find or consummate a suitable merger or acquisition. The Merger Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time. Cryptometrics had revenues of $1,293,843, $215,661 and $681,854 for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Cryptometrics had losses of $11,113,200, $6,929,981 and $5,501,379 for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2007, 2006 and April 30, 2005, respectively. Even if JAG Media completes a merger or acquisition, the resulting business may not prove viable or result in losses. See “— Risks Related to the Proposed Merger and Cryptometrics’ Business.” JAG Media’s business will be adversely affected if it is unable to find suitable merger or acquisition candidates and complete a business combination.
 
JAG MEDIA MAY BE EFFECTIVELY ACQUIRED AND MANAGED BY A BUSINESS WITH NO EXPERIENCE IN ITS SECTOR.
 
In order to expand its business substantially, JAG Media may have to merge with a business very different from JAG Media’s current activities, but to do so, JAG Media may have to issue many more of its shares than are now outstanding. JAG Media shareholders would have their holdings greatly diluted by such a transaction. The Merger with Cryptometrics is such a transaction. In addition, the company with which JAG Media merged would be in control and may have no expertise permitting it to effectively manage JAG Media’s current business. If the Merger is consummated, Cryptometrics would be in control and it has no experience in JAG Media’s business. Alternatively, JAG Media may not be able to find or it may not select a target company with management who are able to manage effectively the newly combined business or their own business. If JAG Media is unable to operate the new combined businesses at a profit or if JAG Media incurred substantial costs in merging the businesses, either of such eventualities could materially and adversely affect JAG Media business, results of operation and financial condition, and could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in JAG Media common stock. See “— Risks Related to the Proposed Merger and Cryptometrics’ Business.”
 
JAG MEDIA MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTIES IN DEVELOPING NEW AND ENHANCED SERVICES AND PRODUCTS.
 
JAG Media believes that its JAGNotes website will be more attractive to subscribers if JAG Media introduces additional or enhanced services in the future in order to retain its current users and attract new users. JAG Media’s first attempt to introduce streaming audio and video was not financially successful and the business was sold. JAG Media was considering various new enhanced services for its JAGNotes website, as well as new products for its Pixaya business unit, but adequate financing is not currently available.
 
In addition, even if it is able to obtain financing in the future, JAG Media may experience other difficulties that could delay or prevent it from introducing such enhanced services. JAG Media may encounter technological problems in enhancing its websites and developing new products or enhancements to current products in its Pixaya


14


Table of Contents

business unit. JAG Media may need to modify significantly the design of these services on its websites and modify significantly (or discontinue, as JAG Media has already had to do) certain products and services being offered through its Pixaya business unit. JAG Media’s business could be adversely affected if it experiences difficulties in introducing or maintaining new services and products, if these new services and products are not accepted by users or if their cost exceeds the revenue they generate.
 
If JAG Media introduces enhanced service on its JAGNotes website that is not favorably received, its current users may not continue using its service as frequently. New users could also choose a competitive service over ours.
 
JAG MEDIA’S FAILURE TO RESPOND TO RAPID CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY AND ITS APPLICATIONS AND INTENSE COMPETITION IN THE MOBILE SERVICES INDUSTRY PRODUCTS COULD MAKE JAG MEDIA SERVICES OBSOLETE.
 
If and when funds become available, JAG Media’s Pixaya business unit hopes again to develop software for the mobile phone and wireless environment. The mobile and wireless services industries are subject to rapid and substantial technological development and product innovations. To be successful, JAG Media must respond to new developments in technology and find new applications of existing technology in our Pixaya business unit for which JAG Media currently has no available funds. In addition, JAG Media’s response may be hindered if JAG Media requires, but cannot secure, rights to essential third party intellectual property. JAG Media would be competing against numerous companies offering alternative products and services, most of which have much greater financial, marketing and technical resources to utilize in pursuing technological development.
 
JAG MEDIA MAY NOT SUCCESSFULLY ATTRACT OR MANAGE STRATEGIC ALLIANCES.
 
JAG Media currently intends to evaluate strategic alliances, partnerships or joint ventures, as a means of acquiring additional distribution. Pursuing such transactions will entail a number of risks and difficulties, including a continuing lack of available funds and personnel. JAG Media competes with a wide variety of information providers and there is substantial competition for distribution channels. JAG Media can offer no guarantee that it will be able to locate suitable candidates for alliances or risk sharing partners. If JAG Media is able to do so, it will require a high level of managerial skill to successfully evaluate and implement these transactions. While JAG Media has limited experience in evaluating and implementing transactions of this type, JAG Media cannot guarantee that it will be able to successfully pursue this strategy.
 
JAG MEDIA MAY HAVE TO DEFEND AGAINST INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS AND LIBEL AND DEFAMATION CLAIMS, WHICH MAY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT OPERATIONAL EXPENDITURES.
 
Parties may assert claims against JAG Media that it has violated a patent or infringed a copyright, trademark or other proprietary right belonging to them. Parties could also bring libel, defamation or similar claims based on the content published on JAG Media’s websites. Any such claims, whether meritorious or not, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources on JAG Media’s part, which could materially adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition, and your investment in JAG Media could be adversely affected.
 
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN JAG MEDIA’S REPUTATION FOR TRUSTWORTHINESS MAY REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ITS USERS, WHICH MAY HARM JAG MEDIA’S BUSINESS.
 
It is very important that JAG Media maintain its reputation as a trustworthy provider of financial news. The occurrence of events, including JAG Media’s misreporting a news story, could harm its reputation for trustworthiness. These events could result in a significant reduction in the number of its subscribers, which could materially adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition, and your investment in JAG Media could be adversely affected.

Table of Contents

 
JAG MEDIA DEPENDS ON KEY PEOPLE IN MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS.
 
JAG Media depends on its key employees’ contacts within the professional financial community for certain information that it provide to its subscribers. Accordingly, JAG Media will be largely dependent on its ability to retain its two current employees, Mr. Thomas J. Mazzarisi, its Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel, and Mr. Stephen J. Schoepfer, its President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. JAG Media may also need to attract and retain additional qualified officers, software developers and other key personnel in the future in order to successfully manage its new strategy. JAG Media may not be able to attract or retain the requisite personnel and does not currently have the requisite funding to hire them. If JAG Media loses the services of either of its key personnel or is unable to attract, hire, train and retain qualified officers, software developers and other key personnel, its business, and your investment in JAG Media could be adversely affected.
 
CERTAIN TERMS OF THE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS OF JAG MEDIA’S EXECUTIVE OFFICERS COULD DISCOURAGE A POTENTIAL TAKEOVER OF JAG MEDIA BY A THIRD PARTY.
 
Pursuant to the amended and restated employment agreements of Thomas J. Mazzarisi, JAG Media’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel, and Stephen J. Schoepfer, JAG Media’s President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, each executive may resign upon a change-in-control of JAG Media. A “change in control” shall be deemed to have occurred if, among other things, there is an acquisition of 30% or more of JAG Media then outstanding shares of common stock. If such executive opts to resign from his position at JAG Media, he shall be entitled to receive (i) continued medical and life insurance coverage for a severance period equal to the greater of one year or the number of years and fractions thereof between the date of such termination and the end of the term, (ii) a lump sum cash payment equal to the executive’s highest rate of annual salary in effect during the term multiplied by the severance period, (iii) a lump sum cash payment equal to the number of accrued and unused vacation days calculated at the executive’s then current salary rate and (iv) accelerated vesting of all of the executive’s outstanding stock options. Furthermore, immediately prior to a change-in-control, each of Messrs. Mazzarisi and Schoepfer shall also be granted an option to acquire 1,000,000 shares (reduced to 750,000 shares in connection with the Merger) of JAG Media common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock prior to such change in control, which option shall be fully vested and immediately exercisable in full and expire on a date which is the earlier of ten years from such change in control and three years after termination of employment. Any or all of these provisions may have the effect of preventing or discouraging an attempt by a party to take over or otherwise gain control of JAG Media or reduce the price which such a party is willing to pay for JAG Media.
 
JAG MEDIA MAY FACE DIFFICULTIES CONCERNING CONTINUED AVAILABILITY OF ITS SOURCES OF INFORMATION FOR ITS PRODUCTS.
 
JAG Media’s JAGNotes and Rumor Room products rely on information from independent third party sources. JAG Media does not maintain written agreements with these sources to provide this information, so JAG Media cannot guarantee that any of these sources will continue to provide the information necessary to maintain these products on its site. If information from these sources is altered, curtailed or discontinued this could adversely affect the quality or even the viability of these products. This, in turn, could decrease the demand for its site and revenues.
 
JAG MEDIA MAY BECOME A PARTY TO VARIOUS LEGAL PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THE DISSEMINATION OF RUMORS AND OTHER INFORMATION OF QUESTIONABLE RELIABILITY.
 
Information posted in the Rumor Room consists of rumors and other information received from third party sources that may have no reasonable factual basis. JAG Media realizes that rumors are inherently unreliable, and it provides a cautionary note on this portion of its site reminding subscribers that cyberfraud is prevalent and that rumors should not be relied upon when making investment decisions. There can be no assurance that JAG Media will be able to prevent the unlawful posting of misleading, fraudulent or intentionally erroneous information, however, and the law relating to its potential liability relating to such activity is currently unsettled. The potential imposition of liability for unlawful activities of subscribers to its site could require JAG Media to implement measures to reduce its exposure to such liability, which may require JAG Media, among other things, to spend


16


Table of Contents

substantial resources and/or to discontinue certain service offerings. In addition, it is possible that JAG Media could become subject to various legal proceedings alleging, among other things, that it has intentionally disseminated or has aided and abetted others in intentionally disseminating false information. These claims, even without merit, could cause JAG Media to expend significant financial and managerial resources, which could adversely affect JAG Media business operations.
 
THE UNCERTAINTY OF FUTURE GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF THE INTERNET MAY ADD TO JAG MEDIA’S OPERATING COSTS.
 
Like many businesses engaging in Internet-related activities, JAG Media may face unanticipated operating costs because of the current uncertainty surrounding potential government regulation of the Internet and e-commerce. JAG Media believes that it is not currently subject to direct regulation of online commerce, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally. However, the Internet has rapidly emerged as a commerce medium, and governmental agencies have not yet been able to adapt all existing regulations to the Internet environment. Laws and regulations may be introduced and court decisions reached that affect the Internet or other online services, covering issues such as user pricing, user privacy, freedom of expression, access charges, content and quality of products and services, advertising, intellectual property rights and information security. For example, if the government determines that JAG Media’s website and the types of activities engaged in by visitors and/or subscribers to JAG Media’s website should be subject to new or existing rules or regulations, JAG Media’s business model may be adversely affected and JAG Media’s operating costs may increase. In addition, as an Internet company it is unclear in which jurisdictions JAG Media is actually conducting business. JAG Media’s failure to qualify to do business in a jurisdiction that requires it to do so could subject JAG Media to fines or penalties and could result in its inability to enforce contracts in that jurisdiction. Even if JAG Media were able to ascertain correctly in which jurisdictions it conducts business, many of these jurisdictions have yet to determine the application of their existing laws to Internet-related activities or develop laws that apply to such activities.
 
JAG MEDIA COULD BE DEEMED TO BE AN INVESTMENT ADVISER SUBJECT TO FEDERAL OR STATE REGULATORY OVERSIGHT.
 
Companies and individuals that provide financial advice to investors in the United States are generally required to register as an investment adviser at either the federal or state level, and are subject to extensive regulation. JAG Media believes that its business consists of a publishing activity for which investment adviser registration and regulation do not apply under applicable federal or state law, and it does not believe that it is required to register as an investment adviser with either the SEC or any of the various states. The regulatory environment in which JAG Media operates is subject to change, however, and JAG Media could be required to register as an investment adviser with an appropriate regulatory agency at some point in the future. Such registration could adversely affect JAG Media’s method of operation and revenues. For example, if JAG Media were ever deemed to be in non-compliance with applicable investment adviser regulations, JAG Media could be subject to various penalties, including administrative or judicial proceedings that might result in censure, fine, civil penalties (including treble damages in the case of insider trading violations), the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or other adverse consequences.
 
RISKS RELATED TO JAG MEDIA’S INDUSTRY
 
JAG MEDIA’S BUSINESS IS CURRENTLY DEPENDENT ON THE CONTINUED PUBLIC INTEREST IN THE STOCK MARKET.
 
The volatility of the stock market in the 1990s generated unprecedented public interest in the stock market and trading. JAG Media’s success depends upon the continued maintenance or growth of this interest. The subsequent downturn in the stock market may have been in part responsible for an overall decrease in subscription revenues since the end of JAG Media’s second fiscal quarter of 2001. Even though the market has recovered to some extent, JAG Media’s revenues have generally continued to decline. A number of factors that are out of JAG Media’s control could lead to a stagnate or depressed stock market which would likely decrease the public’s interest in stock trading and financial information. If this were to happen, it is likely that JAG Media would lose a significant percentage of its then current and potential subscriber base.

JAG MEDIA STOCK — AND TECHNOLOGY AND INTERNET STOCKS GENERALLY — HAVE BEEN AND MAY CONTINUE TO BE VOLATILE.
 
The market for JAG Media stock has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile and subject to wide price and volume fluctuations. These variations are the result of many factors, most of which are beyond its control. Furthermore, Internet and technology related stocks generally have been subject to wide fluctuations in price and volume that often appear to be unrelated to the operating results of these companies. The burst of the dot-com bubble and continued volatility of the stock market has made it difficult for many dot-com companies to raise funds, and a number of such companies have gone bankrupt. Such volatility can present risks for investors. Moreover, such volatility often leads to securities litigation brought by investors who are seeking to recoup losses resulting from rapid and significant drops in price and/or volume. While JAG Media is not aware of any pending or threatened suit or basis therefor, such suits are costly and it could be adversely affected if such a suit were brought against it.
 
MOST OF JAG MEDIA’S CURRENT AND POTENTIAL COMPETITORS HAVE GREATER NAME RECOGNITION, FINANCIAL, TECHNICAL AND MARKETING RESOURCES, AND MORE EXTENSIVE CUSTOMER BASES AND INDUSTRY RELATIONSHIPS THAN JAG MEDIA DOES, ALL OF WHICH COULD BE LEVERAGED TO GAIN MARKET SHARE TO JAG MEDIA’S DETRIMENT.
 
JAG Media’s website’s primary current competitors provide financial news, commentary and analysis on the Internet such as Yahoo Finance, Marketwatch, TheStreet.com, Briefing.com, America Online Personal Finance, Reuters and MotleyFool.com. Providing financial information and analysis over the Internet is an intensely competitive business. An increasing number of web-based financial information providers are competing for subscribers, customers, advertisers, content providers, analysts, commentators and staff, and JAG Media continues to face competition from traditional news and information sources including television and print. JAG Media expects competition from both sources to intensify and increase in the future. Many such competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than JAG Media.
 
JAG Media major competitors currently include:
 
  •  Online financial news and information providers including Yahoo Finance, Marketwatch, TheStreet.com, Briefing.com, America Online Personal Finance, Reuters and MotleyFool.com;
 
  •  Internet portals and search engines such as America Online, MSN and Yahoo;
 
  •  Traditional media sources such as The Wall Street Journal, Investor’s Business Daily, The Financial Times, Barrons, CNN/Money, and MSN Money/CNBC, all of whom also have an Internet presence;
 
  •  Terminal-based financial news providers including Bloomberg, Reuters and Dow Jones; and
 
  •  Online brokerage firms such as TD Ameritrade, E*Trade Financial, Charles Schwab and Fidelity.
 
JAG MEDIA IS IN AN INTENSELY COMPETITIVE BUSINESS WITH LOW BARRIERS TO ENTRY.
 
The barriers to entry into JAG Media’s business are relatively low — i.e., it is not difficult for new competitors to enter the market. Many blogs now provide financial information at no cost. Much of the information JAG Media provides to subscribers is available and JAG Media does not have any patented or otherwise protected technologies that would preclude or inhibit competitors from entering JAG Media’s markets. JAG Media’s current and future competitors may develop or offer services that have significant price, substantive, creative or other advantages over the services JAG Media provides. If they do so and JAG Media is unable to respond satisfactorily, its business and financial condition will likely be adversely affected.
 
JAG MEDIA MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT ITSELF AGAINST SECURITY RISKS.
 
All Internet businesses are subject to electronic and computer security risks. JAG Media has taken steps to protect itself from unauthorized access to its systems and use of its site, but JAG Media cannot guarantee that these measures will be effective. If JAG Media security measures are ineffective, unauthorized parties could alter, misappropriate, or otherwise disrupt JAG Media service or information. If such unauthorized parties were able to

access certain of JAG Media’s, or JAG Media customers’, proprietary information, including subscribers’ credit card numbers, JAG Media would face significant unexpected costs and a risk of material loss, either of which could adversely affect JAG Media’s business.
 
RISKS RELATED TO JAG MEDIA’S CAPITAL STRUCTURE
 
SHAREHOLDERS MAY EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT DILUTION FROM THE EXERCISE OF THE WARRANTS TO PURCHASE JAG MEDIA COMMON STOCK.
 
JAG Media issued warrants to purchase 12,000,000 shares of its common stock to YA Global, of which warrants to purchase 700,000 shares have been exercised. The initial conversion price of such warrants is as follows: $.40 per share for 1,300,000 shares, $.50 per share for 2,000,000 shares, $.60 per share for 2,000,000 shares, $.70 per share for 3,000,000 shares, and $.80 per share for 3,000,000 shares. All such warrants expire in May, 2011. The specified exercise price of each warrant can be further reduced by adjustments upon the occurrence of various corporate transactions, including any issuance of shares of JAG Media common stock for a price less than the relevant warrant price, in which event such lower issue price shall become the new warrant exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant shall be proportionately increased.
 
Accordingly, because of the adjustment features of the exercise price of the warrants and the number of JAG Media shares of common stock purchasable on exercise of the warrants, you may experience substantial dilution upon exercise of the warrants. In addition, you may experience substantial dilution if the price of shares of JAG Media common stock increases to a level greater than the adjusted exercise prices.
 
JAG MEDIA HAS LIMITED CASH RESOURCES WHICH EXPOSES JAG MEDIA TO CLAIMS.
 
As of October 31, 2007, JAG Media had approximately $138,000 in cash and a working capital deficiency of $9,550,000. Such low levels of cash restrict JAG Media’s ability to operate and expose it to claims and lawsuits whatever the merits of such claims may be. If a claim or lawsuit is pursued against JAG Media and JAG Media does not have adequate cash at the time to defend against it, JAG Media may be forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy or cease operations, any of which could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in JAG Media’s common stock.
 
THE MARKET FOR JAG MEDIA’S STOCK IS LIMITED.
 
JAG Media’s common stock is traded on the Pink Sheets. Trading activity in JAG Media’s stock has fluctuated and at times been limited. JAG Media cannot guarantee that a consistently active trading market for JAG Media stock will continue, especially while JAG Media remains on the Pink Sheets.
 
THE RESALE BY YA GLOBAL OF JAG MEDIA’S SHARES MAY LOWER THE MARKET PRICE OF JAG MEDIA’S COMMON STOCK.
 
The resale by YA Global of JAG Media’s shares of common stock that it has received from JAG Media on conversion of the convertible debentures and on exercise of the warrants, as well as such shares it may receive upon future warrant exercises, will increase the number of JAG Media publicly traded shares, which could lower the market price of JAG Media’s common stock. Moreover, the shares that JAG Media issues to YA Global, or such other holders, will be available for immediate resale. There are no contractual restrictions on the ability of YA Global to offer shares issued to it pursuant to JAG Media’s convertible debentures and warrants, other than the limitation that YA Global cannot beneficially own more than 9.99% of JAG Media’s then outstanding shares of common stock. However, YA Global can waive such limitation and can then receive and dispose of shares as often and as quickly as it wishes to do so. If YA Global continues to immediately resell such shares, the market price for JAG Media’s shares could decrease significantly and you could experience significant dilution. In addition, the mere prospect of such transactions could lower the market price for JAG Media’s common stock.
 
Because YA Global is acquiring JAG Media’s shares at a discount, it will have an incentive to sell immediately so that it can realize a gain on the difference. In addition, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on JAG Media’s stock price could encourage third parties to engage in short sales of JAG Media’s common

stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in JAG Media’s common stock. These factors could also make it more difficult for JAG Media to raise funds through future offerings of common stock.
 
A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF JAG MEDIA’S STOCK COULD BE OWNED BY YA GLOBAL.
 
YA Global could beneficially own up to 9.99% of shares of JAG Media’s common stock, or at present almost 5,850,000 shares of JAG Media’s issued and outstanding common stock. However, YA Global can waive such limit. On January 31, 2008, YA Global owned 5,548,170 shares and has a further right to purchase at various future dates up to an additional 11,300,000 shares of JAG Media common stock upon exercise of warrants. For example, were YA Global to own all such shares, it would own approximately 16,848,170 shares which would represent approximately 24% of JAG Media’s outstanding shares. If all or most of these shares, or even more shares, are issued to, and held by, YA Global, it could be able to control the disposition of any matter submitted to a vote of stockholders. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of JAG Media. In addition, if YA Global chooses to sell a substantial number of shares of JAG Media’s common stock in the public market at or about the same time, such sales could cause the market price of JAG Media’s common stock to decline. In addition, the sale of these shares could impair JAG Media’s ability to raise capital through the sale of additional stock.
 
BECAUSE JAG MEDIA’S STOCK CURRENTLY TRADES BELOW $5.00 PER SHARE, AND IS QUOTED ON THE PINK SHEETS, JAG MEDIA’S STOCK IS CONSIDERED BY THE SEC A “PENNY STOCK,” WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ITS LIQUIDITY.
 
JAG Media’s common stock does not currently qualify for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and JAG Media does not anticipate that it will qualify for such a listing in the foreseeable future in the absence of a significant merger or acquisition. If JAG Media’s common stock continues to be quoted on the Pink Sheets or Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board, and if the trading price of JAG Media’s common stock remains less than $5.00 per share, JAG Media’s common stock is considered a “penny stock,” and trading in JAG Media’s common stock is subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under this rule, brokers or dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements. The broker or dealer must make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent prior to the transaction. SEC regulations also require additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a penny stock, including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and its associated risks. These requirements could severely limit the liquidity of such securities in the secondary market because few brokers or dealers are likely to undertake these compliance activities. In addition to the applicability of the penny stock rules, another risk associated with trading in penny stocks may be large price fluctuations.
 
JAG MEDIA’S AMENDED CHARTER CONTAINS PROVISIONS WHICH MAY DISCOURAGE AN UNAFFILIATED PARTY TO TAKE JAG MEDIA OVER.
 
On April 26, 2006, JAG Media increased its authorized common stock by 250 million additional shares of stock. Without further stockholder action, the Board of Directors of JAG Media could authorize the issuance of about 400,000,000 shares of common stock as well as preferred stock with special voting rights by class or with more than one vote per share, to a “white knight” in order to deter a potential buyer of JAG Media. This might have the effect of preventing or discouraging an attempt by a party unable to obtain the approval of the Board of Directors of JAG Media to take over or otherwise gain control of JAG Media.
 
YOUR OWNERSHIP OF SHARES IN JAG MEDIA COULD BE IN DOUBT DUE TO POSSIBLE NAKED SHORTING OF JAG MEDIA COMMON STOCK.
 
JAG Media’s Board of Directors believes, but cannot confirm, that speculators may have engaged in a practice commonly known as a “naked short” sale of JAG Media’s stock, which means that certain brokers may be permitting their short selling customers to sell shares of JAG Media’s stock that their customers do not own and may have failed to borrow and therefore deliver the shares sold to the purchaser of the shares. JAG Media has from time


20


Table of Contents

to time been included by Nasdaq on the Regulation SHO Threshold Security List which is indicative of a significant amount of naked shorting in the stock. Because naked shorting may result in an artificial depression of JAG Media’s stock price, you could lose all or part of your investment in JAG Media’s common stock. As a result of this naked short selling, there may be a substantial number of purchasers who believe they are stockholders of JAG Media but who in fact would not be stockholders since their brokers may never have received any shares of JAG Media for their account. In addition, investors who believe they are stockholders may not have received JAG Media’s stock dividend to which they are entitled or may have been deprived of the right to vote some or all of their shares.
 
RISKS RELATED TO THE PROPOSED MERGER AND CRYPTOMETRICS’ BUSINESS.
 
There is no assurance that the proposed Merger between JAG Media and Cryptometrics will ever be consummated or if it is consummated, that it will be pursuant to the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement. In addition to the risks relating to the businesses of JAG Media which are described above, you should carefully consider the following risk factors relating to the possible Merger.
 
MOST CRYPTOMETRICS STOCKHOLDERS WILL NOT KNOW THE VALUE OR THE AMOUNT OF THE JAG MEDIA COMMON STOCK THAT THEY WILL RECEIVE IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERGER UNTIL AFTER THE MERGER HAS BEEN CONSUMMATED.
 
Holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock will in general receive shares of JAG Media Common Stock in proportion to their holdings of Cryptometrics Common Stock compared to all outstanding shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock at the time of the Merger, subject to certain adjustments. A limited number of Cryptometrics stockholders holding 779,750 shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock, by virtue of subscription agreements with Cryptometrics, will receive a greater or lesser number of JAG Media shares. They will be entitled to own post Merger shares of JAG Media Common Stock having an aggregate fixed market value, based on the opening price of such stock after the Merger on the OTC Bulletin Board or Pink Sheets, of $15,516,250, equal to 200% (in the case of 769,250 such shares) or 125% (in the case of 10,500 such shares) of the amount for which they acquired their Cryptometrics Common Stock, which in each case was $10.00 per share. The aggregate number of shares of JAG Media Common Stock remaining for other stockholders of Cryptometrics will then be shared by such other stockholders pro rata to the number of shares held by each compared to the aggregate number shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock held by all of such other stockholders. Accordingly, the amount and the value of JAG Media Common Stock to be received by such other holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock will not be determinable until after the Merger has been consummated.
 
OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS HAVE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST IN THE MERGER.
 
In considering the recommendations of the JAG Media and Cryptometrics Boards of Directors that the stockholders approve the Merger, you should be aware that some of the directors and officers of each company may have interests in the Merger different from, or in addition to, yours. For example, if the Merger is completed, the existing directors and executive officers of Cryptometrics will become the directors and senior management of JAG Media (to be renamed “Cryptometrics, Inc.”).
 
MANAGEMENT OF THE BUSINESS AFTER THE MERGER.
 
In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the directors and executive officers of Cryptometrics will become the directors and executive officers of JAG Media (to be renamed “Cryptometrics, Inc.”). The new directors and executive officers of JAG Media may not have the expertise or capacity to effectively manage the JAG Media business or the combined businesses after the Merger. If they are unable to operate the new combined businesses at a profit or if substantial costs are incurred in managing the merging of the businesses, either of such eventualities could materially and adversely affect JAG Media’s business, results of operations and financial condition, and could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in JAG Media common stock.

CRYPTOMETRICS’ STOCKHOLDERS WILL EXERCISE SIGNIFICANT CONTROL OVER JAG MEDIA AS A RESULT OF THE MERGER.
 
After the Merger, under the current terms of the Merger Agreement, as amended, Cryptometrics’ stockholders just prior to the Merger will own approximately 87% of the outstanding common stock of JAG Media just after the Merger. As a result, the stockholders of Cryptometrics will have the ability to control JAG Media. Two Cryptometrics shareholders, who will also become the Co-Chief Executive Officers of JAG Media after the Merger, will own controlling blocks of shares of JAG Media common stock giving them extensive control and direction of all aspects of JAG Media’s strategy and businesses.
 
FUTURE ISSUANCES OF JAG MEDIA’S COMMON STOCK COULD DILUTE CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS OR ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET.
 
Future issuances of JAG Media’s common stock after the Merger could be at values substantially below the price paid by the current holders of JAG Media’s common stock or those Cryptometrics stockholders who will exchange their shares of Cryptometrics common stock for JAG Media common stock in connection with the Merger. JAG Media anticipates that the shares of its common stock will be issued to pay off the principal and interest of its outstanding indebtedness and additional shares may be issued to raise cash. In addition, common stock could be issued to fend off unwanted tender offers or hostile takeovers without further stockholder approval. Future sales of JAG Media’s common stock, whether upon original issuance or by current stockholders or persons acquiring JAG Media’s common stock upon the exercise of convertible debentures, warrants or stock options, or upon the conversion of any newly authorized convertible preferred stock or to pay off JAG Media’s convertible debentures may depress the market price for JAG Media common stock.
 
Sales of substantial amounts of JAG Media’s common stock in the public market, or even just the prospect of such sales, could depress the prevailing market price of JAG Media’s common stock and its ability to raise equity capital in the future.
 
CRYPTOMETRICS HAS A HISTORY OF LOSSES AND ANTICIPATES THAT IT WILL INCUR CONTINUED LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. CRYPTOMETRICS DOES NOT HAVE A SIGNIFICANT SOURCE OF REVENUE AND MAY NEVER GENERATE AN OPERATING PROFIT.
 
As of April 30, 2007, Cryptometrics’ accumulated deficit (as restated) was approximately $26,396,563. Cryptometrics revenues for its fiscal years ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 were $1,293,843 and $215,661 respectively. Cryptometrics expects to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. Cryptometrics may never generate an operating profit or, even if Cryptometrics does become profitable from operations at some point, it may be unable to sustain that profitability.
 
CRYPTOMETRICS MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL FOR ITS OPERATIONS AND OBLIGATIONS, WHICH IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RAISE OR, EVEN IT IF DOES, COULD HAVE DILUTIVE AND OTHER NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON IT STOCKHOLDERS.
 
Any projection of future long-term cash needs and cash flows are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. There is no assurance that Cryptometrics’ current level of liquid assets will be sufficient for anticipated or unanticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements during the next 12 months. Cryptometrics may need, or find it advantageous, to raise additional funds in the future to fund Cryptometrics’ growth, pursue sales opportunities, develop new or enhanced products and services, respond to competitive pressures or acquire complementary businesses, technologies or services.
 
If Cryptometrics raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of Cryptometrics’ stockholders will be reduced and stockholders will experience additional dilution. These new securities may also have powers, preferences and rights that are senior to those of the rights of Cryptometrics’ common stock. Cryptometrics cannot be certain that additional financing will be available on terms favorable to it, if at all. If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms, Cryptometrics may be unable to fund its operations adequately, take advantage of acquisition opportunities, develop or enhance


22


Table of Contents

products or services or respond to competitive pressures. Any inability to do so may require Cryptometrics to delay or abandon some or all of its development and expansion plans and may threaten Cryptometrics’ ability to continue business operations.
 
CRYPTOMETRICS’ MARKETS ARE EVOLVING AND CHARACTERIZED BY RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE, WHICH IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP PACE WITH.
 
The markets for Cryptometrics’ products and services are evolving and characterized by rapid technological change, changing customer needs, evolving industry standards and frequent new product and service announcements. The introduction of products employing new technologies and emerging industry standards could render Cryptometrics’ existing products or services obsolete or unmarketable. If Cryptometrics is unable to respond to these developments successfully or does not respond in a cost-effective way, its business, financial condition and operating results will suffer. To be successful, Cryptometrics must continually improve and enhance its products and service offerings and introduce and deliver new product and service offerings and improvement to existing products and services. Cryptometrics may fail to improve or enhance its products and services or introduce and deliver new products or services on a timely and cost-effective basis or at all. If Cryptometrics experiences delays in the future with respect to its products or services, it could experience a loss of revenues and customer dissatisfaction.
 
CRYPTOMETRICS’ SUCCESS DEPENDS ON ITS KEY PERSONNEL WHOM IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RETAIN, AND IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RECRUIT ADDITIONAL QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TO MEET ITS NEEDS, WHICH WOULD HARM ITS BUSINESS.
 
Cryptometrics believes that its success depends on the continued employment of its senior management team, including Robert Barra, its Co-Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer; Michael A. Vitale, its Co-Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer; Joel Shaw, its Chief Strategy Officer; and Dario Berini its Senior Vice President of Operations and Sales. If one or more of these executive officers were unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, Cryptometrics’ business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.
 
Cryptometrics’ success also depends on having a highly trained technical staff of software and hardware experts. Cryptometrics will need to continue to hire personnel with the skill sets necessary to develop new applications for its software and hardware and to adapt its products and services to the needs of its potential clients. Competition for personnel, particularly for employees with technical expertise, is intense. Experienced software and hardware and technical experts often command sizeable compensation packages, including signing bonuses and stock options. A shortage in the number of trained technical personnel could limit Cryptometrics’ ability to design, develop and implement its products, increase sales of its existing products and services and make new sales as it offers new products and services. Ultimately, if Cryptometrics’ cannot hire and retain suitable personnel, or if it is unable to hire such persons on satisfactory financial terms, Cryptometrics’ business, financial condition and operating results will be impaired.
 
CRYPTOMETRICS DEPENDS ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS FOR A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF ITS REVENUES. THE LOSS OF ANY KEY CUSTOMER WITHOUT REPLACEMENT COULD SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE CRYPTOMETRICS’ FUTURE REVENUES.
 
During the fiscal years ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, Cryptometrics’ revenues were largely derived from one key customer accounting for approximately 85% of its revenue and two key customers accounting for approximately 56% and 40% of its revenues, respectively. The inability to replace these customers with equally important new customers could substantially reduce Cryptometrics’ future revenues and result in a material adverse effect on its business.

CRYPTOMETRICS DEPENDS ON APPLICATIONS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS, WHICH MAY OFFER ONLY LIMITED PROTECTION AGAINST POTENTIAL INFRINGEMENT. IF CRYPTOMETRICS IS UNABLE TO PROTECT ITS PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS, ITS BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS WILL BE HARMED.
 
Cryptometrics has two patents, one in the European Union and one in New Zealand. Cryptometrics has seven pending U.S. and foreign patent applications, including a provisional application, relating to its face biometrics technologies. Cryptometrics has six pending U.S. and foreign patents relating to its communication and fingerprint biometrics technology. There can be no assurance that its pending claims will result in issued patents. Even if the most important of Cryptometrics’ claims are eventually protected by issued patents, its industry has been characterized by enormous technological innovation whereby its patents could well be rendered obsolete. Cryptometrics’ ability to compete and to grow its business could suffer if its intellectual property rights are not adequately protected. There can be no assurance that its patents and patent applications will result in patents being issued or that current or additional patents will afford protection against competitors. Cryptometrics also relies on trade secrets that are not patented. No guarantee can be given that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or techniques, or otherwise gain access to Cryptometrics proprietary technology.
 
CRYPTOMETRICS MAY FACE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER CLAIMS AGAINST IT OR ITS CUSTOMERS THAT COULD BE COSTLY TO DEFEND AND RESULT IN LOSS OF SIGNIFICANT RIGHTS.
 
Cryptometrics has not conducted any patent or technology searches and there may be other technology which infringes upon its technology or which it may be infringing upon. A patent search will not disclose unpublished applications that are currently pending in the United States Patent Office, and there may be one or more such unpublished pending applications that would take precedence over Cryptometrics’ applications. Even if Cryptometrics were to be granted patent protection for some or all of its technology, there can be no assurance that these patents will afford Cryptometrics any meaningful protection. Cryptometrics intends to rely primarily on a combination of trade secrets, technical measures, copyright protection and nondisclosure agreements with its employees to establish and protect the ideas, concepts and documentation of software and trade secrets developed by Cryptometrics. Such methods may not afford complete protection, and there can be no assurance that third parties will not independently develop such technology or obtain access to the software Cryptometrics has developed. Although Cryptometrics believes that use of the technology and products it has developed and other trade secrets used in its operations does not infringe upon the rights of others, its use of the technology and trade secrets Cryptometrics develops may infringe upon the patents or intellectual property rights of others. In the event of infringement, Cryptometrics could, under certain circumstances, be required to obtain a license or modify aspects of the technology and trade secrets it developed or refrain from using same. Cryptometrics may not have the necessary financial resources to defend any infringement claim made against it or be able to successfully terminate any infringement in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions or at all. Failure to do any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on Cryptometrics. Moreover, if the patents, technology or trade secrets Cryptometrics developed or uses in its business is deemed to infringe upon the rights of others, Cryptometrics could, under certain circumstances, become liable for damages, which could have a material adverse effect on Cryptometrics. As Cryptometrics continues to market its products, it may encounter patent barriers that are not known today.
 
Furthermore, since the date of invention (and not the date of application) governs under U.S. patent law, future applications could be filed by another party, which would preempt its position. While Cryptometrics has taken and continues to take steps to become aware of related technical developments, there can be no assurance that Cryptometrics will not encounter an unfavorable patent situation. Other parties may assert intellectual property infringement claims against Cryptometrics or its customers, and its products may infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties. If Cryptometrics becomes involved in litigation, Cryptometrics could lose its proprietary rights, be subject to damages and incur substantial unexpected operating expenses. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and time-consuming, even if the claims are subsequently proven unfounded, and could divert management’s attention from its business. If there is a successful claim of infringement, Cryptometrics may


24


Table of Contents

not be able to develop non-infringing technology or enter into royalty or license agreements on acceptable terms, if at all. This could prohibit Cryptometrics from providing its products and services to customers.
 
IF CRYPTOMETRICS PRODUCTS AND SERVICES DO NOT ACHIEVE MARKET ACCEPTANCE, ITS BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS WOULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
 
Biometric-based identification and security is a relatively new technology. Cryptometrics’ products and services may not be widely accepted until such time as it is established and demonstrated to the marketplace that biometric-based identification and security is effective and offers benefits over existing technologies. The failure of Cryptometrics’ products and services to achieve market acceptance, or if accepted in a limited degree, may limit the size of the market for its products and services which would negatively impact its business, financial condition and operating results.
 
CRYPTOMETRICS MAY ULTIMATELY BE UNABLE TO COMPETE IN THE MARKETS FOR THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IT OFFERS.
 
The markets for Cryptometrics’ products and services are intensely competitive. Increased competition may adversely affect Cryptometrics’ ability to enter into agreements with new customers or strategic partners and may result in reduced margins, any of which could seriously harm Cryptometrics’ business. Many of Cryptometrics’ competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition and greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than it does, and may have well-established relationships with its existing and prospective customers. This may place Cryptometrics at a disadvantage in responding to its competitors’ pricing strategies, technological advances, advertising campaigns, strategic partnerships and other initiatives. Cryptometrics’ competitors may also develop products or services that are superior to, or have greater market acceptance than, the products and services that Cryptometrics is able to develop. If Cryptometrics is unable to compete successfully against its competitors, its business, financial condition and operating results would be negatively impacted.
 
RISKS OF A CONGLOMERATE BUSINESS
 
In the event that the Merger is completed, the surviving corporation will be a conglomerate of the businesses of Cryptometrics and JAG Media. Such conglomerate business may not be successful should management lose focus on, or give greater attention to, one or the other business. Additionally, should the markets in which the Cryptometrics business operates or the JAG Media business operates suffer a decline in profitability, such profit decline will have a negative financial impact on the conglomerate business as a whole.
 
RISKS RELATED TO NO FAIRNESS OPINION
 
No independent investment banker or other professional has been retained to issue an opinion with respect to the fairness of the exchange ratio of JAG Media’s common stock and Cryptometrics common stock to either JAG Media’s stockholders or Cryptometrics’ stockholders. The ratio was reached through negotiation by the two companies and was found fair to the stockholders of JAG Media solely by its Board of Directors and fair to the stockholders of Cryptometrics solely by its Board of Directors.
 
RISKS OF NON-COMPLETION COSTS
 
Merger-related costs consist principally of charges related to professional services, mailing and printing costs, registration and other regulatory costs and are expected to exceed $1,000,000. In the event that the Merger is not consummated, the parties will still each remain liable to pay its share of the total Merger-related costs.
 
APPRAISAL RIGHTS
 
Those holders of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock who do not submit a written consent to authorize the Merger Agreement and who properly demand appraisal of their shares will be entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Merger under Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which is referred to herein as Section 262.


25


Table of Contents

 
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS NOT A COMPLETE STATEMENT OF THE LAW PERTAINING TO APPRAISAL RIGHTS UNDER SECTION 262 AND IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE FULL TEXT OF SECTION 262 AS IT APPLIES TO THIS TRANSACTION WHICH IS INCLUDED AS APPENDIX D. ALL REFERENCES IN SECTION 262 AND IN THIS SUMMARY TO A “STOCKHOLDER” ARE TO THE RECORD HOLDER OF THE SHARES OF CRYPTOMETRICS COMMON STOCK AS TO WHICH APPRAISAL RIGHTS ARE ASSERTED. A PERSON HAVING A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN SHARES OF CRYPTOMETRICS COMMON STOCK HELD OF RECORD IN THE NAME OF ANOTHER PERSON, SUCH AS A BROKER, FIDUCIARY, DEPOSITARY OR OTHER NOMINEE, MUST ACT PROMPTLY TO CAUSE THE RECORD HOLDER TO FOLLOW THE STEPS SUMMARIZED BELOW PROPERLY AND IN A TIMELY MANNER TO PERFECT APPRAISAL RIGHTS.
 
Under Section 262, persons who hold shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock who follow the procedures set forth in Section 262 will be entitled to have their shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock appraised by the Delaware Court of Chancery and to receive payment of the “fair value” of the shares, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger, together with a fair rate of interest, as determined by the court.
 
Any holder of Cryptometrics Common Stock who wishes to exercise appraisal rights or who wishes to preserve such holder’s right to do so, should review the following discussion and Appendix D carefully because failure to timely and properly comply with the procedures specified will result in the loss of appraisal rights. Holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock who wish to exercise their appraisal rights must not submit a written consent, but must, as described below, timely submit a written demand for appraisal.
 
A holder of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock wishing to exercise the holder’s appraisal rights must deliver to Cryptometrics, within 20 days after the date of the mailing of this Consent Solicitation/Prospectus, a written demand for the appraisal of such holder’s shares. A holder of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock wishing to exercise appraisal rights must hold of record the shares on the date the written demand for appraisal is made and must continue to hold the shares of record through the Effective Time of the Merger. The written demand must reasonably inform Cryptometrics of the identity of the holder as well as the intention of the holder to demand an appraisal of the “fair value” of the shares held by the holder. A stockholder’s failure to make the written demand within such 20 day period will constitute a waiver of appraisal rights.
 
Only a holder of record of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock is entitled to assert appraisal rights for the shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock registered in that holder’s name. A demand for appraisal in respect of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock should be executed by or on behalf of the holder of record, fully and correctly, as the holder’s name appears on the holder’s stock certificates, and must state that the person intends thereby to demand appraisal of the holder’s shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock in connection with the Merger. If the shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, execution of the demand should be made in that capacity, and if the shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy and tenancy in common, the demand should be executed by or on behalf of all joint owners. An authorized agent, including an agent for two or more joint owners, may execute a demand for appraisal on behalf of a holder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner or owners and expressly disclose the fact that, in executing the demand, the agent is acting as agent for the record owner or owners. A record holder such as a broker who holds shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock as nominee for several beneficial owners may exercise appraisal rights with respect to the shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock held for one or more beneficial owners while not exercising the rights with respect to the shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock held for other beneficial owners; in such case, however, the written demand should set forth the number of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock as to which appraisal is sought and where no number of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock is expressly mentioned the demand will be presumed to cover all shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock held in the name of the record owner. Stockholders who hold their shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock in brokerage accounts or other nominee forms and who wish to exercise appraisal rights are urged to consult with their brokers to determine the appropriate procedures for the making of a demand for appraisal by such a nominee.

All written demands for appraisal pursuant to Section 262 should be sent or delivered to Cryptometrics, Inc., 73 Main Street, Tuckahoe, New York 10707, Attention: Robert Barra, Co-Chief Executive Officer.
 
Within 10 days after the Effective Time of the Merger, the surviving corporation must notify each holder of Cryptometrics Common Stock who has complied with Section 262 that the Merger has become effective. Within 120 days after the Effective Time of the Merger, but not thereafter, the surviving corporation or any holder of Cryptometrics Common Stock who has so complied with Section 262 and is entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 may file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the fair value of the holder’s shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock. The surviving corporation is under no obligation to and has no present intention to file a petition. Accordingly, it is the obligation of the holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock to initiate all necessary action to perfect their appraisal rights in respect of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock within the time prescribed in Section 262.
 
Within 120 days after the Effective Time of the Merger, any holder of Cryptometrics Common Stock who has complied with the requirements for exercise of appraisal rights will be entitled, upon written request, to receive from the surviving corporation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. The statement must be mailed within ten days after a written request therefor has been received by the surviving corporation or within ten days after the expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal, whichever is later.
 
If a petition for an appraisal is timely filed by a holder of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock and a copy thereof is served upon the surviving corporation, the surviving corporation will then be obligated within 20 days to file with the Delaware Register in Chancery a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded an appraisal of their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached. After notice to the stockholders as required by the Court, the Delaware Court of Chancery is empowered to conduct a hearing on the petition to determine those stockholders who have complied with Section 262 and who have become entitled to appraisal rights thereunder. The Delaware Court of Chancery may require the holders of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock who demanded payment for their shares to submit their stock certificates to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceeding; and if any stockholder fails to comply with the direction, the Court of Chancery may dismiss the proceedings as to the stockholder.
 
After determining the holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock entitled to appraisal, the Delaware Court of Chancery will appraise the “fair value” of their shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger, together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. Holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock considering seeking appraisal should be aware that the fair value of their shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock as so determined could be more than, the same as or less than the consideration they would receive pursuant to the Merger if they did not seek appraisal of their shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock and that investment banking opinions as to the fairness from a financial point of view of the consideration payable in a Merger are not necessarily opinions as to fair value under Section 262. We do not anticipate offering more than the Merger consideration to any stockholder exercising appraisal rights and reserve the right to assert, in any appraisal proceeding, that, for purposes of Section 262, the “fair value” of a share of Cryptometrics Common Stock is less than the Merger consideration. The Delaware Supreme Court has stated that “proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court” should be considered in the appraisal proceedings. In addition, Delaware courts have decided that the statutory appraisal remedy, depending on factual circumstances, may or may not be a stockholder’s exclusive remedy. The Court will also determine the amount of interest, if any, to be paid upon the amounts to be received by persons whose shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock have been appraised. The costs of the action may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable. The Court may also order that all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with an appraisal, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the fees


27


Table of Contents

and expenses of experts utilized in the appraisal proceeding, be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to be appraised.
 
Any holder of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock who has duly demanded an appraisal in compliance with Section 262 will not, after the Effective Time of the Merger, be entitled to vote the shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock subject to the demand for any purpose or be entitled to the payment of dividends or other distributions on those shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to holders of record of Cryptometrics Common Stock as of a record date prior to the Effective Time of the Merger).
 
If any stockholder who demands appraisal of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock under Section 262 fails to perfect, or effectively withdraws or loses, such holder’s right to appraisal, the shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock of the stockholder will be converted into the right to receive the Merger consideration. A stockholder will fail to perfect, or effectively lose or withdraw, the holder’s right to appraisal if no petition for appraisal is filed within 120 days after the Effective Time of the Merger, or if the stockholder delivers to the surviving corporation a written withdrawal of the holder’s demand for appraisal and an acceptance of the Merger, except that any attempt to withdraw made more than 60 days after the Effective Time of the Merger will require the written approval of the surviving corporation and, once a petition for appraisal is filed, the appraisal proceeding may not be dismissed as to any holder absent court approval.
 
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE STEPS REQUIRED BY SECTION 262 FOR PERFECTING APPRAISAL RIGHTS MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF SUCH RIGHTS (IN WHICH EVENT THE HOLDER OF CRYPTOMETRICS COMMON STOCK WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE THE CONSIDERATION SPECIFIED IN THE MERGER AGREEMENT).
 
THE MERGER
 
GENERAL
 
This Consent Solicitation/Prospectus is being furnished to stockholders of Cryptometrics as a consent solicitation in connection with the authorization of the Merger Agreement, although the holders of a majority of the outstanding Cryptometrics Common Stock entitled to vote are required by the Company Voting and Lock-Up Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A to Appendix C-1 to authorize the Merger Agreement. Such authorization by such majority holders will be sufficient under Delaware law to authorize the Merger Agreement. This Consent Solicitation/Prospectus also constitutes a prospectus, which is part of a registration statement on Form S-4 filed by JAG Media with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in order to register the shares of JAG Media Common Stock to be issued to the Cryptometrics stockholders in connection with the Merger and to register a subsequent resale of such securities by certain affiliates of Cryptometrics.
 
If and when the Merger is completed:
 
  •  Merger Sub (Cryptometrics Acquisition, Inc.) will be merged into Cryptometrics;
 
  •  Cryptometrics, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of JAG Media;
 
  •  JAG Media will change its name to “Cryptometrics, Inc.”; and
 
  •  each holder of Cryptometrics Common Stock will have the right to receive shares of JAG Media Common Stock in the amount described herein for each share of Cryptometrics Common Stock held.
 
Immediately after the Merger, JAG Media Common Stock will be held approximately as follows: (i) 13% by former stockholders of JAG Media and (ii) 87% by former stockholders of Cryptometrics. JAG Media and Cryptometrics have agreed that, immediately following the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), Cryptometrics will be merged into a limited liability company (LLC) subsidiary of JAG Media with such limited liability company subsidiary surviving (such Merger, the “Second Step Transaction”). The Second Step Transaction, an internal reorganization, will have no effect on the number of JAG Media shares you are to receive.

BACKGROUND OF THE MERGER
 
For some time it has been part of JAG Media’s strategy to pursue merger opportunities. A merger candidate need not be in its specific line of business. JAG Media’s merger strategy has become an increasingly higher priority as its other strategic efforts to reverse the current downward trend of its revenues by re-focusing on servicing the institutional segment of the market for the JAG Notes product and by supporting its Pixaya business unit and to curtail costs have failed to produce results sufficient to sustain its business. Pursuant to its merger strategy, JAG Media has looked at various possible merger candidates for the past three years. The possibility of a transaction between JAG Media and Cryptometrics was first introduced to JAG Media by Albert Auer of Flow Capital Advisers, Inc., an investment banking firm, which had previously introduced another merger candidate to JAG Media, pursuant to a prior written finder’s agreement between Flow Capital and JAG Media dated January 5, 2004. JAG Media and the previous merger candidate were unable to agree upon final business terms and the proposed transaction was abandoned by the parties.
 
Albert Auer contacted Gary Valinoti, a consultant to JAG Media and previously its Chief Executive Officer, with whom Mr. Auer had worked on the prior transaction. Mr. Auer contacted Mr. Valinoti in the first week of August 2004, briefly described Cryptometrics, Inc. and identified Joseph Nese as the contact person for the investment bankers acting as finders for Cryptometrics. Flow Capital and JAG Media subsequently entered into a written finder’s agreement dated March 14, 2005 regarding the potential Cryptometrics transaction. Although Flow Capital has informed JAG Media that it continues to be entitled to a finder’s fee of 0.66% of the consideration for the Merger, JAG Media believes that the subsequent finder’s agreement between JAG Media and Flow Capital expired in accordance with its terms on December 31, 2006, as the Merger was not completed by such date.
 
A meeting was arranged for later in the first week of August 2004 at the executive offices of Cryptometrics, Inc. in Tuckahoe, New York. Those attending the meeting were Robert Barra, the Co-Chief Executive Officer of Cryptometrics, Paul Reid, its product manager, Joseph Nese, Gary Valinoti and Stephen Schoepfer, the President of JAG Media. The meeting consisted primarily of a presentation by Cryptometrics of its biometrics technology. There was no discussion of any transaction between the two companies.
 
In September 2004, Thomas J. Mazzarisi, Chief Executive Officer of JAG Media, supplied a form of Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement to Robert Barra, which was executed by him on September 27, 2004 so that the companies would be in a position to discuss a possible transaction.
 
During the first and second weeks of October 2004, emails were transmitted between Cryptometrics and JAG Media, principally to and from Messrs. Barra, Nese, Mazzarisi and Schoepfer, by which Cryptometrics forwarded a copy of its PowerPoint presentation and its projected financial results.
 
Cryptometrics also provided JAG Media additional information regarding marketing and potential contracts it was trying to obtain.
 
In response to a request of Cryptometrics for a term sheet, Thomas J. Mazzarisi transmitted the first draft of a term sheet to Robert Barra on October 29, 2004. The term sheet provided for JAG Media to issue 35,000,000 shares to Cryptometrics shareholders at closing, together with a post-closing earn out tied to various revenue milestones, which provided for Cryptometrics shareholders to receive up to an additional 40,000,000 shares.
 
After various discussions in which Cryptometrics rejected the proposed structure of the term sheet, JAG Media prepared a second draft of the term sheet which Thomas Mazzarisi sent to Joseph Nese on November 22, 2004. The second draft of the term sheet provided for Cryptometrics shareholders to receive an 85% interest in JAG Media at closing. This draft of the term sheet also contained a twelve-month lockup provision with respect to all such JAG Media shares. In response to Cryptometrics comments requesting an increase in the shares payable to the Cryptometrics shareholders and a request for only a partial lockup, Thomas Mazzarisi transmitted a third draft of a term sheet to Joseph Nese on December 3, 2004. This draft increased the percentage of the shares being issued to Cryptometrics shareholders from 85% to 87% and also included a to-be-determined carve out from the twelve month lockup.
 
On December 16, 2004 there was a meeting at the offices of Cryptometrics’ counsel, Greenberg Traurig LLP, in New York City attended by both companies and their respective counsel. Those attending the meeting on behalf


29


Table of Contents

of JAG Media included Thomas Mazzarisi, Stephen Schoepfer and Preston Tollinger of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, counsel for JAG Media. Those attending on behalf of Cryptometrics included Robert Barra and Michael Vitale, co-chief executive officers, Paul Reid, Robert Tasinari of TNS Consulting Corporation, finders for Cryptometrics, Joseph Nese and Alan Annex, of Greenberg Traurig LLP. Paul Reid led a presentation of Cryptometrics products and technology, following which there was a detailed discussion of the company’s operations and business.
 
On December 22, 2004 there was a conference call between Thomas Mazzarisi and Stephen Schoepfer representing JAG Media and Robert Barra, Joseph Nese and Robert Tasinari representing Cryptometrics. The conference call discussed the third draft of the term sheet which had been provided by Mr. Mazzarisi and JAG Media’s due diligence requests.
 
Following up on JAG Media’s request for financial information, on January 21, 2005 Cryptometrics emailed to JAG Media the draft audited financials for its Canadian subsidiary, covering fiscal years from 2002 through March 10, 2004.
 
On February 8, 2005, there was a second meeting at Cryptometrics headquarters, attended by Thomas Mazzarisi and Stephen Schoepfer on behalf of JAG Media, Cryptometrics’ finders and investment bankers Joseph Nese and Robert Tasinari, and Cryptometrics advisor, Thomas O’Neil of Sandler O’Neil & Partners, L.P., and Cryptometrics co-chief executive officers Robert Barra and Michael Vitale. The discussions focused on Cryptometrics’ Private Placement Memorandum, pending contracts, teaming agreements, strategic partnerships, and opportunities with government agencies both foreign and domestic. A conference call then took place two days later among Thomas Mazzarisi, Stephen Schoepfer, Robert Barra, Robert Tasinari and Joseph Nese, to assess the progress in the transaction.
 
During the third week of March 2005, there was a conference call between JAG Media’s litigation counsel, Wes Christian, Thomas Mazzarisi, Robert Barra, Michael Vitale, and Robert Tasinari. The conference call focused on a pending lawsuit brought by JAG Media against various brokerage firms.
 
On April 8, 2005, Robert Barra of Cryptometrics wrote a letter to Thomas Mazzarisi of JAG Media regarding the status of Cryptometrics’ private placement, indicating that approximately $15 million had been raised. Cryptometrics also stated that it anticipated the private placement would soon close and requested a revised term sheet. In response to Cryptometrics’ request, on April 21, 2005 Thomas Mazzarisi transmitted a fourth draft of the term sheet to Cryptometrics. This draft specified a 35% carve out from the one year lockup provision and continued to provide for the issuance of 87% of JAG Media’s shares to Cryptometrics shareholders. A week later Robert Tasinari on behalf of Cryptometrics requested Thomas Mazzarisi to execute the term sheet as a condition to the transaction discussions continuing, which JAG Media declined to do until it was provided audited financial information.
 
Although for several months there was no substantive discussion between the companies pending the receipt of more complete audited financial information by JAG Media, there was a conference call on June 20, 2005 again related to the status of JAG Media’s lawsuit against various brokerage firms and the issue of so called “naked short sales” which might be affecting JAG Media. Those on the conference call included Thomas Mazzarisi, Stephen Schoepfer, and Wes Christian on behalf of JAG Media, Robert Barra and Robert Tasinari on behalf of Cryptometrics, as well as Michael Stolzar of Dorf, Karlen & Stolzar, LLP, Cryptometrics’ counsel.
 
On August 10, 2005 Mr. Robert Barra delivered to JAG Media’s counsel financial statements for Cryptometrics’ Canadian Subsidiary and draft consolidated financial statements for Cryptometrics, together with updated marketing materials. Robert Barra also sent emails to Thomas Mazzarisi requesting certain information and discussing JAG Media’s need for Cryptometrics to participate in various legal and accounting fees which would be incurred in connection with the proposed transaction.
 
On August 19, 2005 Michael Stolzar sent to Preston Tollinger a revised term sheet based upon the fourth draft provided by JAG Media on April 21, 2005. The revised term sheet contained a proposed cap of $62,500 of legal fees to be borne by Cryptometrics. On August 22, 2005 Cryptometrics faxed to counsel for JAG Media the consolidated audited financials for Cryptometrics. On August 29, 2005 there was a conference call which discussed in detail the draft term sheet, the structure of the transaction, SEC requirements and other legal and timing issues related to the

transaction. Those on the conference call included Preston Tollinger, David Sirignano and Owen Littman from Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP, Michael Stolzar from Dorf, Karlen & Stolzar, LLP, Robert Barra, Michael Vitale and Robert Tasinari on behalf of Cryptometrics and Thomas Mazzarisi and Steve Schoepfer on behalf of JAG Media. On September 9, 2005 counsel for Cryptometrics and JAG Media exchanged a revised term sheet which increased the number of shares being issued to Cryptometrics shareholders from 87.5% to 88% to compensate for $2,000,000 of indebtedness which JAG Media had incurred. This term sheet also included a resolution of the funding of legal fees with each of JAG Media and Cryptometrics providing $50,000 of initial funding. This term sheet was executed on September 9, 2005 by Thomas Mazzarisi and forwarded to Robert Barra for signature. The term sheet was subsequently signed by Robert Barra on behalf of Cryptometrics and delivered to JAG Media.
 
Subsequently, during the last week of October 2005 JAG Media indicated that it was going to increase its indebtedness by $750,000, as a result of which a final adjustment to 88.175% was made to the percentage amount of JAG Media common stock which is to be distributed to the Cryptometrics stockholders.
 
While JAG Media considered other opportunities with a variety of businesses, JAG Media determined that the Merger with Cryptometrics represented the best opportunity for JAG Media’s stockholders. Within the period from August 2004 when JAG Media first considered the Cryptometrics transaction, to December 2005, JAG Media considered ten other opportunities in addition to the Cryptometrics transaction. JAG Media conducted varying levels of due diligence for each such possible target, after first entering into signed non-disclosure agreements in all but one instance, but did not execute formal letters of intent with the targets. The target companies included (1) a manufacturer of pre-packaged foods furnished to institutions, convenience stores, vending machine operators and retail grocery store chains; (2) a provider and operator of E*Bay drop shops; (3) two compounding pharmacies; (4) a manufacturer of circuit boards; (5) a biotech company developing a point-of-care diagnostic platform; (6) a provider of passive human detection technology and related products for homeland security, military, law enforcement, rescue and other applications; (7) a China-based tire recycling company; (8) a provider of wide area networks and (9) a provider of clip-on sunglasses. None of these potential merger candidates had as much cash or appeared to have as good access to financing as Cryptometrics and, therefore, JAG Media believed such candidates would be less able to complete the transaction and support the merged businesses. While the above-noted targets would have required cash infusions of various significant amounts as a condition to consummation of the closing of their transactions, Cryptometrics had recently completed a round of financing in which it had raised approximately $17.5 million, so that financing was not a condition of the Merger.
 
In the view of JAG Media, none of these target companies offered the potential upside of Cryptometrics or in most cases offered any synergy with any of JAG Media’s Pixaya software product lines, which could make JAG Media a more valuable merger partner. Conversely, the technology of JAG Media’s Pixaya business unit has significant synergistic value with Cryptometrics’ current and future technological platforms and product offerings. At present, Pixaya has a limited ability to market its technology on a stand alone basis. However, when this technology is incorporated into Cryptometrics’ systems and applications, it adds another dimension to Cryptometrics’ existing technology and provides the merged company with a broader solutions package which certain of Cryptometrics’ potential customers may prefer. Pixaya’s technology, especially its SurvayaCam, enables Cryptometrics to expand its offerings for protecting the critical infrastructure and key assets of a nation and its businesses. This technology provides Cryptometrics with an additional way to provide machine-assisted solutions for collecting, delivering and intelligently managing videos that have been captured, overtly or covertly, including from cameras mounted in moving vehicles. Pixaya technology supports encrypted communication of video as well as remote setting of the cameras and also provides redundancy to help guarantee communication of the video stream.
 
Specifically, Pixaya’s technology provides:
 
  •  a way for video generated from a variety of sources to be communicated to a centralized processing system for automated analysis;
 
  •  a way to centrally manage remotely captured video, including recording the video in a variety of formats for later retrieval and playback; and


31


Table of Contents

 
  •  a way of viewing a single video stream or multiple streams on a single display screen, zooming in real-time to reveal greater detail and record annotations by simply drawing on the screen.
 
With this technology incorporated into Cryptometrics’ platforms and systems for facial recognition, for example, Cryptometrics will be able to deliver turnkey systems capable of processing video captured from a camera mounted in a police car for the purpose of automatically detecting when an officer checking a stopped vehicle needs assistance. The Cryptometrics platform as so enhanced would provide an infrastructure for capturing and transmitting through wireless communication facial images and other video data from remote vehicles or border outposts for the purpose of identifying persons who might pose a threat.
 
The agreement and plan of merger and the Company Voting and Lock-up Agreement included as Exhibit A to such agreement were executed by the parties to such agreements as of December 27, 2005. Cryptometrics’ directors and majority shareholders, who are Messrs. Barra and Vitale in both cases, approved such agreements on behalf of Cryptometrics by written consents dated December 27, 2005.
 
After the agreement and plan of merger was executed on December 27, 2005, JAG Media and Cryptometrics addressed the three major conditions to the closing of the Merger, namely (1) the filing and effectiveness of a Registration Statement on Form S-4, (2) the approval of JAG Media’s stockholders of (a) an increase in its authorized shares of common stock from 250,000,000 to 500,000,000 and (b) a change in its name to Cryptometrics, Inc. upon completion of the Merger and (3) the listing of Cryptometrics shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market upon completion of the Merger.
 
The Registration Statement was filed with the SEC on January 13, 2006 and was declared effective by the SEC on March 16, 2006. JAG Media’s stockholders approved the increase in its shares of common stock to 500,000,000 and the conditional proposed name change of JAG Media to “Cryptometrics, Inc.” at a meeting of its stockholders held on April 26, 2006. A further condition of the Merger, the approval of the agreement and plan of merger as amended to date by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock, has not yet been satisfied.
 
The NASDAQ listing application was submitted by Cryptometrics to NASDAQ on March 31, 2006. From April through June 2006, Cryptometrics and JAG Media responded to various comments on the NASDAQ listing application posed by NASDAQ and during June and July 2006 Cryptometrics had meetings with representatives of NASDAQ regarding the status of the NASDAQ listing application. According to Cryptometrics, although NASDAQ did not approve the NASDAQ listing application, it did acknowledge Cryptometrics had met all of the listing requirements, except for stock price, and that NASDAQ would leave the application open pending Cryptometrics’ trading on the OTCBB or the Pink Sheets at a price sufficient to satisfy the NASDAQ’s stock price requirements. Cryptometrics has indicated that it intends to continue pursuing its NASDAQ listing once the stock of the merged companies has traded at the required levels on the OTCBB or the Pink Sheets.
 
JAG Media and Cryptometrics began discussions in early July 2006 regarding the steps that would need to be taken to move the transaction forward. Those discussions included a potential restructuring of JAG Media’s May 2006 financing with YA Global Investments, L.P. (then known as Cornell Capital Partners, L.P.), removal of the NASDAQ listing as a condition to the Closing and certain other amendments to the original agreement and plan of merger dated December 27, 2005. On July 18, 2006 Thomas Mazzarisi, Stephen Schoepfer, Robert Barra and Michael Vitale met at Cryptometrics’ offices in New York to discuss such matters.
 
On September 14, 2006, Thomas Mazzarisi, Stephen Schoepfer, Robert Barra and Joel Shaw met with representatives of YA Global in order to introduce Cryptometrics to YA Global prior to JAG Media and Cryptometrics making a formal proposal to YA Global regarding the restructuring of their financing. The parties did not address any terms of a potential restructuring of the YA Global financing at this meeting, but rather the meeting focused on Cryptometrics business, including its business opportunities in the near future.
 
JAG Media prepared a proposed agreement for the restructuring of the YA Global financing, principally by amending the number of shares subject to the warrants issued to YA Global, and on September 19, 2006 submitted the proposed agreement to Cryptometrics for its review and approval. After a final draft was approved by Cryptometrics, JAG Media submitted the draft agreement to YA Global for its review and comments on September 21, 2006.

On October 27, 2006, the parties reached an agreement in principle on the fundamental terms of the YA Global restructuring and tried to finalize an agreement. On November 17, 2006, an understanding with YA Global regarding the restructuring of its financing, principally by amending the exercise prices and dates of the warrants, was reached and on that same day JAG Media sent a proposed amendment to the original agreement and plan of merger to Cryptometrics for its review and comment.
 
On November 9, 2006, Cryptometrics notified JAG Media that, in consideration for the increase in the debt limitation under their current agreement from $2,750,000 to $4,350,000 resulting from the YA Global financing in May 2006 and Cryptometrics paying an additional $175,000 in transaction costs, and in light of the then current position of the two businesses, it wanted an additional 10 million shares of JAG Media Common Stock issued directly to Cryptometrics and registered for sale immediately after the closing date. When such a structure did not prove to be feasible, Cryptometrics requested an increase in the exchange ratio for JAG Media shares which would be acceptable to both parties and permissible in light of the number of JAG Media authorized shares of common stock. As negotiations continued on the proposed amendment throughout December 2006, issues principally related to the number of shares reserved for issuance to YA Global arose which resulted in negotiations being reopened on the previously finalized YA Global agreement.
 
While negotiations continued, on January 9, 2007 Cryptometrics made an advance payment of $10,000 to J.H. Cohn LLP, JAG Media’s auditors, so they could begin work on the various SEC filings that would be required to consummate the transaction.
 
On January 23, 2007, JAG Media, YA Global, Cryptometrics and Robert Barra and Michael Vitale, the principals of Cryptometrics, agreed upon a final version of the YA Global agreement. The YA Global agreement also provided that YA Global would not convert any of its debentures or exercise any of its warrants prior to the closing of the Merger and that the YA Global agreement would automatically terminate if the Merger between JAG Media and Cryptometrics did not occur by March 15, 2007. See Exhibit 10.26 to the Registration Statement for the full text. JAG Media signed the YA Global agreement on January 23, 2007 and distributed it to Cryptometrics on that same day for signature. Cryptometrics signed the YA Global agreement on January 24, 2007 and YA Global signed it on January 26, 2007.
 
On January 24, 2007 JAG Media, Cryptometrics, and the other parties to the original agreement and plan of merger agreed upon an Amendment in which Cryptometrics, among other matters, approved the agreement regarding the restructuring of the YA Global financing, waived the condition requiring JAG Media’s stock be authorized for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market prior to the Closing and agreed to fund various expenses of JAG Media in connection with the Closing. JAG Media and Cryptometrics also agreed on a fixed increased consideration to be received by the Cryptometrics stockholder in the Merger of 394,700,016 shares of JAG Media’s Common Stock and to establish an escrow for various closing documents in order to facilitate the Closing of the transaction. The Amendment also provided for a tentative closing date of February 28, 2006 and automatic termination of the Merger Agreement if the Closing did not occur by March 15, 2007. JAG Media signed the Amendment on January 25, 2007 and Cryptometrics and the other relevant parties signed the Amendment on January 26, 2007. See Appendix C-2 hereto for the full text of such Amendment.
 
After determining that the Merger would not be able to close by the automatic termination date of March 15, 2007 set forth in the YA Global agreement and the Amendment, the parties to the respective agreements agreed to change the closing date to March 30, 2007 and the automatic termination date to April 6, 2007. Accordingly, the parties to the January 24, 2007 Amendment entered into a further amendment, dated February 26, 2007 which extended the automatic termination date to April 6, 2007 and the closing date to March 30, 2007. See Appendix C-3 hereto for the full text of such Amendment. Cryptometrics’ directors and majority shareholders, who are Messrs Barra and Vitale in both cases, approved the January 24, 2007 and February 26,2007 amendments to the Merger Agreement as of March 1, 2007. Because of the failure to give prompt notice of such shareholder action to Cryptometrics’ other shareholders, such shareholder approval became ineffective under Delaware law, which the majority shareholders confirmed by rescinding all prior shareholder approvals of the Merger Agreement and the Merger by a written action dated September 12, 2007.
 
The parties to the Amendment entered into subsequent amendments dated April 2, 2007, April 20, 2007, May 11, 2007 May 18, 2007, June 15, 2007, July 16, 2007, August 16, 2007, November 7, 2007 and February 6,

2008 to extend the automatic termination date of the Merger Agreement. See Appendices C-4 through C-12 hereto for the full text of such Amendments. The amendment dated February 6, 2008 extended the automatic termination date to March 31, 2008. Under the terms of the amendment dated May 18, 2007, Cryptometrics agreed to pay $167,659.84 of transaction costs incurred in connection with the Merger in exchange for the grant to Cryptometrics of a non-exclusive, royalty free, perpetual license to use certain intellectual property of JAG Media’s subsidiary, Pixaya (UK) Limited. In addition, Cryptometrics agreed to pay up to $150,000 in additional transaction costs and JAG Media agreed to issue Cryptometrics 500,000 shares of JAG Media’s common stock (in addition to the 500,000 shares previously agreed upon in the January 24, 2007 amendment to the Merger Agreement) if the Merger Agreement is terminated by JAG Media or YA Global for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Cryptometrics fails to pay any required amount of the $150,000 or if the Registration Statement of which this Consent Solicitation/Prospectus is a part is declared effective and Cryptometrics fails to close the transaction and file the certificate of merger by the automatic termination date then in effect, Cryptometrics will not be entitled to receive such 500,000 shares of JAG Media common stock. Under the terms of the amendments dated August 16, 2007 and November 7, 2007, Cryptometrics agreed to pay an additional $300,000 of JAG Media’s transaction costs, subject to certain reimbursement obligations of JAG Media. Under the February 6, 2008 amendment, JAG Media and Cryptometrics agreed to be responsible for their own expenses going forward and agreed that JAG Media was not required to reimburse Cryptometics for any expenses paid on its behalf.
 
The parties to the YA Global agreement entered into similar subsequent amendments to the YA Global agreement dated February 26, 2007, April 2, 2007, April 20, 2007, May 11, 2007 May 18, 2007, June 15, 2007, July 16, 2007, September 10, 2007 and November 7, 2007 filed as Exhibits 10.27, 10.28, 10.29, 10.30, 10.31, 10.32, 10.33, 10.34 and 10.35 to the Registration Statement of which this Consent Solicitation/Prospectus is a part to extend the termination date under the YA Global agreement. The amendment to the YA Global agreement dated November 7, 2007 extended the termination date to December 15, 2007. The YA Global agreement and all such amendments automatically terminated on December 15, 2007 in accordance with their terms.
 
On January 31, 2008 JAG Media entered into a new letter agreement with YA Global pursuant to which YA Global on January 31, 2008 converted the remaining outstanding principal amount of JAG Media’s convertible debentures, as well as all accrued interest on such debentures, into JAG Media’s common stock and exercised a warrant for 700,000 shares of JAG Media’s common stock, providing JAG Media with $280,000 in cash proceeds. YA Global and JAG Media also agreed to amend the exercise dates and prices of the remaining warrants, which amendment will become ineffective on February 27, 2008 if the Merger has not yet occurred by that date, unless the parties agree to extend such date. The January 31, 2008 letter agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.36 to the Registration Statement of which the Consent Solicitation/Prospectus is part and should be reviewed for further information regarding its terms.
 
CRYPTOMETRICS’ REASONS FOR THE MERGER
 
The Board of Directors of Cryptometrics, Inc. has approved the Merger Agreement and determined that the Merger is fair and advisable and in the best interests of Cryptometrics and its stockholders.
 
In reaching the decision to adopt the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors of Cryptometrics considered a number of factors including the following:
 
  •  The shares of JAG Media Common Stock offered as the Merger consideration would effectively create a public trading market for Cryptometrics Common Stock and permit the unrestricted trading in stock of the combined company by the current or non-affiliated stockholders of Cryptometrics (subject to not being permitted to sell 65% of the shares of JAG Media held by them for one year after the effectiveness of the Merger) instead of their current position as holders of common stock of a private company;
 
  •  The terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, including the fact that Cryptometrics may terminate the Merger Agreement at any time or for any reason;
 
  •  The percentage of the combined company to be owned by the current Cryptometrics stockholders following the Merger; and
 
  •  Historical financial information concerning Cryptometrics and JAG Media, which generally informed the Board of Directors of Cryptometrics’ determination as to the relative values of the two companies.

Table of Contents

 
The Board of Directors of Cryptometrics also considered certain potential risks related to the Merger, including but not limited to the risks related to the Merger not being consummated, with resulting distraction in the interim to Cryptometrics normal business operations. The Board of Directors of Cryptometrics believed, however, that these risks were outweighed by the potential benefits to be realized from the Merger.
 
Based on this analysis, the Board of Directors of Cryptometrics unanimously determined that the Merger is fair to, and in the best interests of Cryptometrics stockholders. The foregoing discussion of the information and the factors considered by the Board of Directors of Cryptometrics is not intended to be exhaustive, and such information and factors were considered collectively by the Board of Directors of Cryptometrics in connection with its review of the Merger Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereby. In lieu of the variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Merger, the Board of Directors of Cryptometrics did not find it practicable to, and did not quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to, the specific factors considered in reaching its determination. In addition, the individual members of the Board of Directors of Cryptometrics may have given different weight to different factors.
 
RECOMMENDATIONS OF CRYPTOMETRICS’ BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
The Board of Directors of Cryptometrics believes that the Merger is fair to, and in the best interests of Cryptometrics and its stockholders. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of Cryptometrics has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and recommends that the Cryptometrics principal stockholders consent to the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and related Merger.
 
COUNTERVAILING CONSIDERATIONS
 
The Board of Directors of Cryptometrics also identified and considered a number of potentially negative factors in their deliberations concerning the Merger, including, but not limited to:
 
  •  the risk that, despite the efforts of Cryptometrics, key personnel might choose not to remain employed by Cryptometrics, as the surviving corporation, after the Merger;
 
  •  the risk that the potential benefits sought in the Merger might not be realized fully, or within the time frame contemplated, if at all;
 
  •  the possibility that the Merger would not be completed and the effect of the abandonment of the Merger on Cryptometrics’ ability to attract and retain key management, sales, marketing and technical personnel;
 
  •  the substantial charges to be incurred, including transaction expenses arising from the Merger; and
 
  •  the other risks associated with each company’s business, the Merger and the combination of the companies described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 10.
 
The Board of Directors of Cryptometrics believes that the potential benefits of the Merger outweigh these risks.
 
THE CONSENT SOLICITATION
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Company Voting and Lock-Up Agreement, attached as Exhibit A to Appendix C-1, Robert Barra and Michael A. Vitale, who each own 28.07% of the outstanding Cryptometrics common stock entitled to vote on the Merger Agreement, have agreed to execute written consents authorizing the Merger Agreement. Consequently, the required vote under Delaware law will be obtained and the Merger Agreement will be duly authorized.
 
Cryptometrics has, however, decided to seek the written consent of all holders of record as of the close of business on December 5, 2007 of Cryptometrics Common Stock to authorize the Merger Agreement. It is important to note that based on the contractual obligations of Messrs. Barra and Vitale, whether or not your consent is received, the Merger will be consummated, assuming all other conditions to the Merger have been met or waived and the Merger Agreement is not terminated. Regardless, if you are in favor of the Merger, you are asked to complete the “Written Consent of Stockholder(s) of Cryptometrics, Inc. In Lieu of Meeting” enclosed herewith and mail it using the pre-addressed envelope provided to you. A form of such written consent is also attached as Appendix A. The address to which to mail the consent is Cryptometrics, Inc., 73 Main Street, Tuckahoe, NY 10707.

To be accepted your written consent must be received by Cryptometrics prior to the Closing, but in any case prior to 20 days after the mailing of this Consent Solicitation/Prospectus.
 
OWNERSHIP OF JAG MEDIA AFTER THE MERGER
 
Immediately after the Merger, Cryptometrics stockholders immediately prior to the Merger are entitled to own approximately 394,700,016 shares of JAG Media Common Stock, equivalent to approximately 87% of the outstanding JAG Media Common Stock immediately after the Merger. JAG Media stockholders just prior to the Merger will continue to own approximately 58,508,856 shares of JAG Media Common Stock, equivalent to approximately 13% of the outstanding JAG Media Common Stock immediately after the Merger, as well as 403,249 shares of class B common stock.
 
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
 
The Merger will be accounted for as a “purchase” as such term is used under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, for accounting and financial reporting purposes. It is anticipated that this transaction will be recorded as a “reverse” acquisition whereby Cryptometrics is treated as the accounting acquirer and JAG Media, the legal acquirer, as the accounting acquiree. The identifiable tangible and intangible assets and the liabilities of JAG Media will be recorded at their fair values. A purchase price valuation has not yet been undertaken by management in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 “Business Combinations”. Upon closing, management will engage third party experts and such qualified personnel as will be required to make a full valuation to properly allocate the purchase price to the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net liabilities to be assumed by Cryptometrics has been preliminarily allocated to a single caption called “Intangible assets — in-process research and development acquired”, but will be adjusted for the valuation, as explained in the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements herein. The assets and liabilities of Cryptometrics will continue to be recorded at their historical values. The reported financial condition and results of operations of the combined companies after the Merger will reflect these values, but will not be retroactively restated to reflect the historical financial position or results of JAG Media.
 
MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER
 
Counsel to JAG Media has opined, based on representations received from officers of JAG Media and Cryptometrics and on certain assumptions (including the assumption that the Second Step Transaction will occur immediately after the Merger), that the Merger (together with certain related transactions) will qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368 of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The representations relied upon include a representation to the effect that, based on values as of the last business day before the closing date for the Merger, the aggregate fair market value of the JAG Media Common Stock and other consideration received by each holder of Cryptometrics Common Stock will be approximately equal to the fair market value of the Cryptometrics Common Stock surrendered by such holder in exchange therefor pursuant to the Merger. Any failure of the assumptions on which such opinion is based to be true or the representations on which such opinion is based to be accurate could cause the conclusions in such opinion to be incorrect. Such opinion is based upon the Code, Treasury regulations thereunder, administrative rulings and court decisions, all as in effect on the date of such opinion, and all of which are subject to change, including changes with retroactive effect and changes that may adversely effect the conclusions reached in such opinion. This discussion is based on currently existing provisions of the Code, existing and proposed treasury regulations thereunder and current administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change. Any change, which may or may not be retroactive, could alter the tax consequences to Cryptometrics stockholders as described below. Assuming that the Merger qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code, except as noted in the two following paragraphs, the following are the material United States federal income tax considerations relevant to the exchange of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock for JAG Media Common Stock in the Merger that are generally applicable to the Cryptometrics stockholders:
 
  •  Cryptometrics stockholders will not recognize any gain or loss upon their receipt of JAG Media Common Stock for their shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock exchanged in the Merger, except to the extent they receive cash for fractional shares.


36


Table of Contents

 
  •  The aggregate tax basis of the JAG Media stockholder that a holder of Cryptometrics stockholder receives in the Merger will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the Cryptometrics Common Stock surrendered by such holder in exchange for JAG Media Common Stock, adjusted to take into account the receipt of cash for fractional shares.
 
  •  The holding period of the JAG Media Common Stock that Cryptometrics stockholders receive in the Merger will include the period for which the Cryptometrics Common Stock surrendered in exchange for the JAG Media Common Stock was considered to be held, if the surrendered Cryptometrics Common Stock is held as a capital asset at the time of the Merger.
 
Although there is some uncertainty with respect to the treatment of Cryptometrics shareholders that, pursuant to subscription agreements that they have entered into with Cryptometrics, receive JAG Media Common Stock and warrants for their shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock, it is likely that they:
 
  •  will not recognize any gain or loss upon their receipt of JAG Media Common Stock and warrants for their shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock exchanged in the Merger, except to the extent they receive cash in lieu of fractional shares;
 
  •  will be required to allocate their tax basis in their Cryptometrics shares between the JAG Media Common Stock and warrants received (as determined without regard to the fact that they will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares) in accordance with the relative fair market values of the JAG Media Common Stock and warrants received; and
 
  •  will have a holding period in the JAG Media Common Stock and warrants received that includes their holding period in the Cryptometrics Common Stock surrendered, if the Cryptometrics Common Stock is held as a capital asset at the time of the Merger.
 
It is possible that, as a result of transactions between JAG Media and Cryptometrics prior to the Merger pursuant to which Cryptometrics made certain payments to or on behalf of JAG Media, a portion of the JAG Media Common Stock received by Cryptometrics stockholders will be treated as a distribution received on their Cryptometrics shares, with such distribution being taxable as a dividend to the extent of Cryptometrics’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for United States federal income tax purposes, and thereafter as a return of basis to the extent thereof and then as gain on a deemed disposition of shares. A Crytometrics stockholder would have an initial tax basis in any shares so treated equal to their value at the time of the Merger and the holding period in such shares shall begin on the day following the Merger. The amount of JAG Media expenses that have been paid by Cryptometrics is currently approximately $810,000, but could increase prior to the Closing of the Merger. JAG Media believes, based on information received from Cryptometrics, that Cryptometrics will not have current or accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes as of the Closing of the Merger.
 
This discussion does not address all United States federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular Cryptometrics stockholder in light of the Cryptometrics stockholders’ specific particular circumstances, such as a Cryptometrics stockholder who or that:
 
  •  is a dealer in securities;
 
  •  is a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for its securities holdings;
 
  •  is a bank;
 
  •  is a life insurance company;
 
  •  is a tax-exempt organization;
 
  •  owns Cryptometrics Common Stock as part of a straddle or conversion transaction for tax purposes;
 
  •  is subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code;
 
  •  is a foreign person;
 
  •  does not hold Cryptometrics Common Stock as a capital asset;
 
  •  owns Cryptometrics stock other than Cryptometrics Common Stock; or
 
  •  acquired Cryptometrics stock in connection with stock option or stock purchase plans or in other compensatory transactions.


37


Table of Contents

 
In addition, this discussion does not address:
 
  •  the tax consequences of the Merger under foreign, state or local tax laws;
 
  •  the tax consequences of the assumption by JAG Media of Cryptometrics stock warrants or the tax consequences of the receipt of rights to acquire JAG Media Common Stock; or
 
  •  the tax consequences of the Merger to holders of exchangeable shares of Cryptometrics Canada, Inc.
 
The parties are not requesting and will not request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as to the tax consequences of the Merger. Cryptometrics stockholders should be aware that the tax opinions provided by Morgan, Lewis & Bockius do not and will not bind the IRS. The IRS may therefore successfully assert a contrary opinion. The tax opinions are and will be subject to assumptions, exceptions, limitations and qualifications, including but not limited to the accuracy of representations made by JAG Media and Cryptometrics.
 
A successful IRS challenge to the reorganization status of the Merger or the failure of the Second Step Transaction to occur would result in a Cryptometrics stockholder recognizing taxable gain or loss with respect to each share of Cryptometrics Common Stock surrendered equal to the difference between (a) each stockholder’s basis in the share and (b) the fair market value, as of the Effective Time, of the JAG Media Common Stock received in exchange. In this event, a Cryptometrics stockholder’s aggregate basis in the JAG Media Common Stock received would equal its fair market value as of the closing date of the Merger, and the stockholder’s holding period for the JAG Media Common Stock would begin the day after the Merger. In the case of a Cryptometrics shareholder that, pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into with Cryptometrics, receives both JAG Media Common Stock and warrants for shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock, the fair market value, as of the Effective Time, of the warrants received would be considered together with the fair market value of the JAG Media Common Stock received in determining the amount of gain or loss, such shareholder’s initial tax basis in the warrants received would equal their fair market value as of the closing date of the Merger and the holding period for the warrants received would begin on the day after the Merger.
 
CRYPTOMETRICS STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE MERGER, INCLUDING THE APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES.
 
LOSS LIMITATIONS
 
Pursuant to the Merger, the stock ownership of JAG Media will change to such an extent as to cause its net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward to be subject to limitation under Section 382 of the Code.
 
FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS CONSEQUENCES; STOCK TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS
 
Upon the issuance of shares of JAG Media Common Stock to the Cryptometrics stockholders in connection with the Merger, such shares shall be registered with the SEC on the Registration Statement on Form S-4 of which this Consent Solicitation/Prospectus forms a part. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, however, stockholders of Cryptometrics shall not be permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of sixty-five percent (65%) of the JAG Media Common Stock received in the Merger for a period of twelve months from the closing date of the transaction. Additionally, this Registration Statement on Form S-4 shall separately register the shares of JAG Media Common Stock issuable to the current Co-Chief Executive Officers of Cryptometrics, Robert Barra and Michael A. Vitale, and the current Chief Strategy Officer of Cryptometrics, Joel Shaw, so that the shares are immediately saleable subject to the twelve-month lock-up provision. Subject to compliance with all relevant securities laws, thirty-five percent (35%) of the shares of JAG Media Common Stock issued to the Cryptometrics stockholders in connection with the Merger shall not be subject to the twelve-month lock-up provision.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT
 
The following is a summary of the Merger Agreement (including the Amendments), a copy of each of which is attached as Appendices C-1 through C-12 and each is incorporated into this Consent Solicitation/Prospectus by reference. Stockholders of Cryptometrics are urged to read the Merger Agreement in its entirety for a more complete description of the terms and conditions of the Merger.
 
The text of the Merger Agreement has been included to provide you with information regarding its terms. The terms of the Merger Agreement (such as the representations and warranties) are intended to govern the contractual rights and relationships, and allocate risks, between the parties in relation to the Merger. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties Cryptometrics, JAG Media and Merger Sub made to each other as of specific dates. The representations and warranties were negotiated between the parties with the principal purpose of setting forth their respective rights with respect to their obligation to complete the Merger and may be subject to important limitations and qualifications as set forth therein, including a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable under federal securities laws.
 
GENERAL
 
The Merger Agreement provides that Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of JAG Media formed under the laws of the State of Delaware for purposes of effecting the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, will merge with and into Cryptometrics, which will thereupon become a wholly-owned subsidiary of JAG Media. Upon completion of the Merger, JAG Media will change its name to “Cryptometrics, Inc.”
 
TIMING OF CLOSING
 
The Closing will take place on a date to be specified by the parties to the Merger Agreement which shall occur no later than 2 business days after satisfaction (or waiver) of certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, unless another time is agreed to in writing by the parties. In the Amendments, the parties have tentatively set a closing date of March 7, 2008, or such other date as the parties may agree upon, being so authorized by their respective Boards of Directors. In addition the Amendments provide for an automatic termination of the Merger Agreement on March 31, 2008, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, as authorized by their respective Boards of Directors. Simultaneously with, or as soon as practicable following, the Closing, Cryptometrics, as the surviving corporation, will file a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as provided by Section 252(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is filed or at such later time as is set forth in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).
 
CONVERSION OF SHARES OF CRYPTOMETRICS COMMON STOCK
 
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of JAG Media, Merger Sub, Cryptometrics or any stockholder of Cryptometrics, holders of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time the Certificate of Merger is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, including as outstanding for this purpose the total number of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock (the “Cryptometrics Exchange Shares”) for which outstanding exchangeable shares of Cryptometrics’ Canadian subsidiary, Cryptometrics Canada, Inc. (the “Exchangeable Shares”), can be exchanged, will be entitled to receive 394,700,016 shares of fully paid and nonassessable JAG Media Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”).
 
Holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock will in general receive shares of JAG Media Common Stock in proportion to their holdings of Cryptometrics Common Stock compared to all outstanding shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock (including as outstanding the Cryptometrics Exchange Shares) at the time of the Merger, subject to certain adjustments. A limited number of approximately 50 Cryptometrics stockholders, none of whom are officers or directors of Cryptometrics, holding 779,750 shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock, by virtue of subscription agreements with Cryptometrics, will receive JAG Media shares with an aggregate fixed value of $15,516,250. The subscription agreements of such holders provided that they would be entitled to be issued post merger shares of a merger candidate’s common stock (now JAG Media Common Stock) having a market value based on the opening price of such stock after the Merger on the relevant market (the Pink Sheets in this case) equal to 200% (in the case


39


Table of Contents

of 769,250 such shares) or 125% (in the case of 10,500 such shares) of the amount for which they acquired their Cryptometrics Common Stock, which in each instance was $10.00 per share. The number of such shares of JAG Media Common Stock will be determined after the first day of trading following the Merger so that all Cryptometrics stockholders receive ownership of the correct number of shares. They will be entitled to own shares of the merger candidate’s common stock (now JAG Media Common Stock) with fixed aggregate values following the effectiveness of the Merger (based on the post-merger opening price on the Pink Sheets) of $15,385,000 in the case of 769,250 shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock and $131,250 in the case of 10,500 shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock, regardless of the actual market price of the shares of JAG Media Common Stock following the Merger.
 
The remaining number of shares of JAG Media Common Stock available to other stockholders of Cryptometrics will then be shared by such other stockholders pro rata to the number of shares held by each compared to the aggregate number shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock (including the Cryptometrics Exchange Shares) held by all of such other stockholders (including the holders of the Exchangeable Shares).
 
Each outstanding share of Cryptometrics Common Stock (including the Cryptometrics Exchangeable Shares) at Closing, other than the 779,750 shares described above, shall be converted into the right to receive and become exchangeable for the number of shares of JAG Media Common Stock represented by the following quotient:
 
394,700,016 less the aggregate number of shares of JAG Media Common Stock for which the 779,750 shares of Cryptometrics noted above are by contract to be exchanged
 
- divided by -
 
The total number of outstanding Shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock (including the Cryptometrics Exchangeable Shares) at Closing less 779,750 shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock
 
Such quotient is referred to as the “Exchange Multiple.”
 
For example, assuming the post-Merger opening sales price of the Jag Media Common Stock on the Pink Sheets were $1.00 per share, if one of the holders of the special 779,750 shares acquired 100 shares for $1,000, such stockholder would be entitled to own 2,000 shares (200%) or 1,250 shares (125%) of JAG Media Common Stock. All of the holders of the special 779,750 shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock would receive an aggregate of 15,516,250 shares of JAG Media Common Stock, at such assumed price of $1.00 per share. In such case 379,183,766 shares of JAG Media Common Stock would be left to be shared pro rata by all remaining Cryptometrics shareholders holding approximately 11,202,000 shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock (including the Cryptometrics Exchangeable Shares) as of April 30, 2007, who would therefore receive approximately 33.8 shares of JAG Media Common Stock for each share of Cryptometrics Common Stock.
 
No fractional shares of JAG Media Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger. Unless the value of the fractional shares of JAG Media Common Stock which otherwise would have been issued by virtue of the Merger to a Cryptometrics stockholder exceeds an aggregate cash amount of One Dollar ($1.00), such Cryptometrics stockholder shall not be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share of JAG Media Common Stock. In the event that the value of the fractional share of JAG Media Common Stock which otherwise would have been issued by virtue of the Merger to a Cryptometrics stockholder exceeds One Dollar ($1.00), any such Cryptometrics stockholder entitled to receive a fractional share of JAG Media Common Stock will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share in an amount determined by JAG Media to be equal to such fraction multiplied by the arithmetic mean of the closing prices of JAG Media Common Stock on the Pink Sheets over the 20 trading days ending three trading days prior to the closing date of the transaction.
 
Upon issuance of the shares of JAG Media Common Stock to the Cryptometrics stockholders in connection with the Merger, such shares shall be registered with the SEC on a Registration Statement on Form S-4 of which this Consent Solicitation/Prospectus forms a part. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, however, stockholders of Cryptometrics shall not be permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of sixty-five percent (65%) of the JAG Media Common Stock received in connection with the Merger for a period of twelve months from the closing date of the transaction. Subject to compliance with all relevant securities laws, thirty-five percent (35%) of the


40


Table of Contents

shares of JAG Media Common Stock issued to the Cryptometrics stockholders in connection with the Merger shall not be subject to the twelve month lock-up provision.
 
The Form S-4 also registers the JAG Media shares for which outstanding options and warrants of Cryptometrics (including options and warrants for outstanding for Exchange Shares of Cryptometrics’ Canadian subsidiary, Cryptometrics Canada, Inc.) may be exercised immediately after the Merger. Additionally, the Form S-4 separately registers the resale of the shares of JAG Media Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger to the current Co-Chief Executive Officers of Cryptometrics, Robert Barra and Michael A. Vitale, and the current Chief Strategy Officer of Cryptometrics, Joel Shaw, so that such shares are immediately saleable by them subject to the twelve month lock-up restriction noted above.
 
Each share of Cryptometrics Common Stock held in the Cryptometrics’ treasury immediately prior to the Effective Time and each share owned by any subsidiary of Cryptometrics shall not represent the right to receive any Merger Consideration, and each such share shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no cash, securities or other property shall be payable in respect thereof.
 
If between the date of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, there shall be any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares or any similar event with respect to Cryptometrics Common Stock or JAG Media Common Stock, the numbers of shares and any other amounts payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement shall be correspondingly adjusted to the extent appropriate to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares or similar event.
 
CONVERSION OF SHARES OF MERGER SUB COMMON STOCK
 
Each share of common stock of Merger Sub, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of Cryptometrics. All of such shares will be owned by JAG Media (which will be renamed Cryptometrics).
 
TREATMENT OF CRYPTOMETRICS STOCK OPTIONS
 
At the Effective time, each outstanding option (“Cryptometrics Stock Option”) to purchase shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock issued, will, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of Cryptometrics or the holder of the Cryptometrics Stock Option, be assumed by JAG Media (each a “Replacement Option”). To the extent that Replacement Options replace options which qualify as “incentive stock options,” each Replacement Option will be intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under the Internal Revenue Code. JAG Media, however, makes no representation and warranty that such option will qualify as such under the Internal Revenue Code.
 
Each Replacement Option will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the applicable Cryptometrics Stock Option it replaced, provided that the Cryptometrics Stock Option does not otherwise provide, except that (i) each such Replacement Option shall be exercisable for, and represent the right to acquire, that whole number of shares of JAG Media Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option multiplied by the Exchange Multiple, and (ii) the exercise price per share of JAG Media Common Stock shall be an amount equal to the exercise price per share of the shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock subject to such Cryptometrics Stock Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Multiple (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded up to the nearest full cent).
 
After the Closing, JAG Media will reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of JAG Media Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Replacement Options.
 
TREATMENT OF CRYPTOMETRICS WARRANTS
 
At the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock (each, a “Cryptometrics Warrant”) will, to the extent that such Cryptometrics Warrant does not expire in accordance with its


41


Table of Contents

terms upon consummation of the Merger, be converted into a warrant to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Cryptometrics Warrant, provided that the Cryptometrics warrant does not otherwise provide, that number of shares of JAG Media Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock subject to such Cryptometrics Warrant multiplied by the Exchange Multiple (such new warrant, the “Replacement Warrant”), at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (y) the exercise price per share of Cryptometrics Common Stock subject to such Cryptometrics Warrant divided by (z) the Exchange Multiple.
 
Any restriction on exercise of any Cryptometrics Warrant will continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, schedule and other provisions of such Cryptometrics Warrant will continue in full force and effect.
 
At or prior to the Effective Time, Cryptometrics will take all reasonable action necessary with respect to each Cryptometrics Warrant to permit the replacement of such Cryptometrics Warrant by JAG Media and to ensure that holders of Cryptometrics Warrants have no rights with respect to their Cryptometrics Warrants held greater than those specifically provided for in the Merger Agreement.
 
TREATMENT OF EXCHANGEABLE SHARES
 
At the Effective Time, each outstanding Exchangeable Share will be converted into the right to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Exchangeable Share, provided the relevant Exchangeable Share does not otherwise provide, that number of shares of JAG Media Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock subject to such Exchangeable Share multiplied by the Exchange Multiple. Any restriction on exercise of any Exchangeable Share shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exchangeability, schedule and other provisions of such Exchangeable Share will continue in full force and effect. At or prior to the Effective Time, Cryptometrics, Cryptometrics Canada, Inc. and JAG Media will take all reasonable action, if any, necessary with respect to each Exchangeable Share to permit the proper modifications of such Exchangeable Share by Cryptometrics, Cryptometrics Canada, Inc. and JAG Media and any agreements relating to the Exchangeable Shares so as to ensure that holders of Exchangeable Shares have no rights with respect thereto greater or lesser than those specifically provided the Merger Agreements and any additional agreements made in connection with the Exchangeable Shares. The holder of each Exchangeable Share is entitled, pre-merger, to exchange that share for one share of Cryptometrics Common Stock. This ratio is subject to appropriate adjustment if there is any recapitalization of Cryptometrics.
 
EXCHANGE OF SHARES OF CRYPTOMETRICS COMMON STOCK AND SURRENDER OF STOCK CERTIFICATES
 
Following the execution of the Merger Agreement, JAG Media will enter into an agreement with Transfer Online, Inc., or such other bank or trust company of recognized standing that may be designated by JAG Media and is reasonably satisfactory to Cryptometrics (the “Exchange Agent”). Upon the receipt of the approval of the principal stockholders of Cryptometrics, JAG Media will deposit, or will cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock, certificates representing the shares of JAG Media Common Stock issuable to holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock as of the Effective Time in respect of the Cryptometrics Common Stock. JAG Media shall also deposit with the Exchange Agent cash in an amount sufficient to make the payments in lieu of fractional shares. The certificates, together with any cash in dividends or distributions with respect to the certificates and any cash made available in lieu of fractional shares are referred to herein and in the Merger Agreement as the “Exchange Fund”.
 
In order to expedite the necessary share exchange, Cryptometrics is arranging with the Exchange Agent for a new Direct Registration System to be established. It will reflect the number of shares of JAG Media Common Stock to which each Cryptometrics stockholder is entitled, including an indication of which shares can be sold immediately (35%) and which cannot (65%). If the Merger is completed, a statement of holdings with such information will be mailed to each stockholder. This statement can be provided to a broker who can then request electronic delivery of free trading positions.
 
Alternatively, Cryptometrics stockholders can be sent written instructions for exchanging their stock certificates to obtain physical stock certificates for the JAG Media shares of Common Stock to which they are entitled.

Table of Contents

Cryptometrics stockholders should note that this will be a longer procedure. If, however, any Cryptometrics stockholder so requests, JAG Media will cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of Cryptometrics Common Stock a letter of transmittal and instructions (specifying that delivery will be effected, and the risk of loss and title to the Cryptometrics Common Stock shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the certificates representing the Cryptometrics Common Stock (the “Certificates”) to the Exchange Agent) for use in exchanging Cryptometrics Common Stock for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such Cryptometrics Common Stock.
 
Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed and completed in accordance with its instructions and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant the instructions, the holder of such Cryptometrics Common Stock will be entitled to receive (i) that number of whole shares of JAG Media Common Stock to which the holder of the Cryptometrics Common Stock is entitled, (ii) payment in lieu of fractional shares which such holder is entitled to receive in the event the fractional shares of JAG Media Common Stock to be issued by virtue of the Merger to Cryptometrics stockholders exceeds an aggregate cash amount of One Dollar ($1.00), and (iii) and any dividends or distributions payable to the holder. The Certificate so surrendered for with shall then be canceled.
 
In the event of a transfer of Cryptometrics Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Cryptometrics, shares of JAG Media Common Stock issued in exchange for Cryptometrics Common Stock may be issued to a person other than the person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is surrendered, if (i) such shares are permitted to be transferred, and (ii) such Certificate is properly endorsed or is otherwise in proper form for transfer and (iii) the person requesting such issuance pays to the Exchange Agent any and all taxes required as a result of the issuance to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate or establishes by evidence satisfactory to the Exchange Agent that any such taxes have been paid or are not payable.
 
Until surrendered or transferred as contemplated, each Certificate (other than Certificates held by holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock seeking appraisal rights) shall represent at all times after the Effective Time solely the right to receive, upon such surrender or transfer, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Merger Consideration, together with cash payments in lieu of fractional shares and dividends and distributions payable to the holder in respect of the Cryptometrics Common Stock represented by the Certificate.
 
All shares of JAG Media Common Stock issued in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement (including all cash payments in lieu of fractional shares or dividends and distributions payable to holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock) upon surrender of the Certificates in accordance with the Merger Agreement shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Cryptometrics Common Stock represented by Certificates.
 
At the close of business at 5:00 PM on the day immediately preceding the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Cryptometrics will be closed and there will be no further registration of transfers of Cryptometrics Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided to holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock who exercise their appraisal rights or by applicable law.
 
On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or JAG Media for any reason shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration and any cash amounts payable in lieu of fractional shares or dividends or distributions payable to the holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock.
 
Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock for 6 months after the Effective Time shall be redelivered to JAG Media, and any holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock who have not exchanged their shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock for JAG Media Common Stock in accordance with the terms provided by the Merger Agreement, shall thereafter look only to JAG Media for the Merger Consideration to which they are entitled, in addition to any cash amounts payable in lieu of fractional shares or dividends or distributions payable to them as holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock.
 
Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock as of a date that is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any


43


Table of Contents

government entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of JAG Media free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither JAG Media nor Cryptometrics, shall be liable to any holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock for shares of JAG Media Common Stock, cash or other property delivered from the Exchange Fund to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
 
Each person entitled to receive shares of JAG Media Common Stock shall receive them on the condition and subject to the requirement that (A) 65% of such shares may not be sold (but may be transferred (i) by gift to a family member, (ii) by will or by the laws of descent or distribution or (iii) to a trust for the benefit of the transferor and/or member of his family) until the first anniversary of the closing date and the certificates evidencing such shares shall have a legend reflecting such restriction, and (B) the remaining 35% of such shares may be freely sold or transferred even within the first year following the closing date. Cryptometrics shall have the right to impose a stop order on the transfer of all such shares described in (A) still held by shareholders of Cryptometrics as of the closing date for the remainder of such first year.
 
No dividends or other distributions on shares of JAG Media Common Stock will be paid with respect to any shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock until such share of Cryptometrics Common Stock is surrendered or exchanged as provided herein and by the terms of the Merger Agreement.
 
No holder of Cryptometrics Common Stock will be entitled, until the exchange of such shares, to vote the shares of JAG Media Common Stock, which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.
 
The payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Cryptometrics Common Stock (and any cash payments in lieu of fractional shares or dividends and distributions payable with respect to each share of Cryptometrics Common Stock) will be deemed to have been issued and fully paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to each such share of Cryptometrics Common Stock, and there will be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of Cryptometrics of Cryptometrics Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented for transfer to Cryptometrics, such Certificates will be canceled.
 
LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES
 
If any Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, and if required by Cryptometrics or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Cryptometrics, as the surviving corporation, or the Exchange Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate and the payment of any fee charged by the Exchange Agent for such service, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the number of shares of JAG Media Common Stock and cash, if any, to which the holder is entitled pursuant to the Merger Consideration and applicable Exchange Ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement.
 
APPRAISAL RIGHTS
 
Any shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock held by a Cryptometrics stockholder who has demanded and not lost or withdrawn, or who is eligible to demand, appraisal rights with respect to such shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock in the manner provided in the Delaware General Corporation Law (see Appendix D hereto) does not represent the right to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration. If any Cryptometrics stockholder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses his right to appraisal and payment under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the case may be, each share of Cryptometrics Common Stock held by such Cryptometrics stockholder will represent the right to receive its portion of the Merger Consideration.
 
Both Cryptometrics and JAG Media, as the case may be, shall give one another prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by Cryptometrics or JAG Media, withdrawals of such demands, and any other communications received by Cryptometrics or JAG Media in connection with any demands for appraisal. Cryptometrics may

voluntarily make any payment with respect to any such demands. Cryptometrics shall have the right to control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal, including the right to settle any such demands.

On January 31, 2008, JAG Media entered into a new letter agreement with YA Global pursuant to which YA Global on January 31, 2008 converted the remaining outstanding principal amount of JAG Media’s convertible debentures, as well as all accrued interest on such debentures, into JAG Media Common Stock and exercised a warrant for 700,000 shares of JAG Media Common Stock, providing JAG Media with $280,000 in cash proceeds.

Such amendments to the warrants will become ineffective on February 27, 2008 if the Closing of the Merger has not yet occurred by that date, unless the parties agree to extend such date.
 
The January 31, 2008 letter agreement is included as Exhibit 10.36 to the Registration Statement of which this Consent Solicitation/Prospectus forms a part and should be reviewed for further information regarding its terms.

The escrow agent shall hold the documents in escrow until the Merger Agreement is terminated by either JAG Media or Cryptometrics or the occurrence of the then automatic termination date agreed by the parties (currently March 31, 2008) or, if sooner, the escrow agent receives a written notice from Cryptometrics notifying JAG Media and escrow agent that Cryptometrics has elected to proceed with the Closing and instructing the escrow agent to make the relevant filings to effect the Merger.
 
Promptly after the Effective Time of the Merger, JAG Media is required by the Merger Agreement to (a) amend Section 11 of the existing employment agreements of its prior officers to fix the payout period on termination without cause at 12 months, (b) amend Section 4 of such employment agreement to cancel all options granted to the officers pursuant to such section and (c) amend Section 6 of such employment agreements to reduce the options granted to each of the officers upon a change in control from 1,000,000 to 750,000 shares of JAG Media Common Stock, which will be exercisable immediately on a cashless basis, with one half of such shares being subject to a lock up period of one year from the date of the Closing of the Merger, (iv) assign such employment agreements to Pixaya LLC and cause it to accept same, and such officers will release JAG Media from all liability thereunder (including salary payments) except that JAG Media will remain contractually obligated to carry out its obligations to fulfill any exercise of options remaining under such employment agreements, (b) cause Pixaya LLC to terminate the employment of such officers under such employment agreements without cause, and (c) the Board of Directors of JAG Media will elect new officers of JAG Media through the action of its Board of Directors.

Mazzarisi and Schoepfer and JAG Media each of Messrs. Mazzarisi and Schoepfer were originally entitled to receive options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of JAG Media Common Stock upon a change in control of JAG Media at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of JAG Media Common Stock prior to such change in control. The options were to be fully vested and immediately exercisable in full.

Certain Covenants in Amendments to Merger Agreement
 
In the Amendment dated January 24, 2007, Cryptometrics approved JAG Media’s agreement with YA Global relating to certain borrowings and agreed to pay JAG Media $175,000 in addition to the $100,000 it had previously agreed to pay toward JAG Media’s transaction costs. In addition Messrs, Mazzarisi and Schoepfer agreed not to exercise any of their JAG Media options prior to Closing or the termination of the Merger Agreement. In subsequent amendments, Cryptometrics has agreed to advance an additional $617,660 of JAG Media’s transaction costs, subject to certain reimbursement obligations of JAG Media.
 
DISCLOSURE SCHEDULES
 
JAG Media and Cryptometrics agreed to finalize their respective Disclosure Schedules by January 11, 2006 and provide same to the other, which was to have had five days to accept or reject such Disclosure Schedule. Unless either JAG Media or Cryptometrics notified the other within such five day period that it rejected the other’s Disclosure Schedule, both JAG Media’s Disclosure Schedule and Cryptometrics’ Disclosure Schedule were to have been deemed accepted and have become part of the Merger Agreement. If either JAG Media or Cryptometrics notified the other within such five day period that it rejected the other’s Disclosure Schedule, JAG Media and Cryptometrics were to have negotiated in good faith to attempt to agree on an acceptable Disclosure Schedule for the succeeding ten days. If no agreement is reached by the end of such ten day good faith negotiation period, the Merger Agreement was to have terminated.
 
The Amendment dated January 24, 2007 set a new time limit for any party to request a Disclosure Schedule from the others. That time limit has expired so that at present no Disclosure Schedules will be delivered by the parties. Accordingly, the exceptions to the representations and warranties, covenants and other provisions in the

Table of Contents

Merger Agreement which would have been disclosed by such Disclosures Schedules will not be disclosed. As JAG Media is a public company, Cryptometrics has access to all of JAG Media’s filings with the SEC and the disclosure made therein and the managements of both companies have discussed with the other their respective businesses, including discussions with YA Global (see “The Merger — Background of the Merger”).

(i) any sale, lease or other disposition, direct or indirect (and however structured), of any business or assets of such party and/or any of its subsidiaries (which business or assets represent 10% or more of the consolidated revenues, net income or assets of such party and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole),
 
(ii) any tender offer (including a self-tender offer) or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in a third party beneficially owning 10% or more of any class of securities of such party,
 
(iii) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, reorganization, joint venture, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving such party and/or any of its subsidiaries (which subsidiaries represent 10% or more of the consolidated revenues, net income or assets of such party and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole),
 
(iv) the issuance, sale or other disposition, direct or indirect (and however structured), of securities (or securities or other rights convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, such securities) representing 10% or more of the voting power or capital stock of such party and/or any of its subsidiaries (which subsidiaries represent 10% or more of the consolidated revenues, net income or assets of such party and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole), or

Party Proposal pursuant to which a person (or its stockholders) would own, if consummated, all or substantially all of the outstanding capital stock of JAG Media or Cryptometrics (or of the surviving entity in a Merger or the direct or indirect parent of the surviving entity in a Merger) or all or substantially all the assets of JAG Media or Cryptometrics and their subsidiaries taken as a whole on terms that the Board of Directors of JAG Media and/or Cryptometrics determine, in its good faith judgment, to be more favorable to the stockholders of JAG Media or Cryptometrics from a financial point of view than the terms of the Merger and with any financing required to consummate the transaction contemplated by such Third Party Proposal committed or likely, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of JAG Media or Cryptometrics, to be obtained by such third party on a timely basis.

The Board of Directors of JAG Media or Cryptometrics must furnish to the other all information provided to the person who has made the superior proposal to the extent that such information has not been previously provided to Cryptometrics or JAG Media, as the case may be, and will keep the other promptly and reasonably informed as to the status of any discussions regarding such superior proposal.
 
No information may be furnished and no discussions may be entered into in the event that JAG Media or Cryptometrics have taken any actions inconsistent with the provisions of the Merger Agreement discussing the conduct of JAG Media and Cryptometrics with respect to Third Party Proposals and Superior Proposals.
 
The Merger Agreement does not prevent the Board of Directors of JAG Media or Cryptometrics from withholding, withdrawing, amending, modifying or changing its recommendation in favor of the approval of the stockholders of JAG Media or Cryptometrics, as the case may be, and, in the case of a tender or exchange offer made directly to the stockholders of JAG Media or Cryptometrics, a recommendation that the stockholders of JAG Media or Cryptometrics, as the case may be, accept the tender or exchange offer (each, a “Change of Recommendation”), if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
 
  •  a Superior Proposal is made to JAG Media or Cryptometrics and is not withdrawn;
 
  •  the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of JAG Media has not occurred and the written consent of the stockholders of Cryptometrics has not been obtained;

  •  Cryptometrics shall not have, within the Notice Period, made an offer that the Board of Directors of JAG Media by a majority vote determines in its good faith judgment to be at least as favorable to such party and its stockholders as such Superior Proposal (it being agreed that the Board of Directors of such party shall convene a meeting to consider any such offer by the other party promptly following the receipt thereof);
 
  •  JAG Media shall not have, within the Notice Period, made an offer that the Board of Directors of Cryptometrics by a majority vote determines in its good faith judgment to be at least as favorable to such party and its stockholders as such Superior Proposal (it being agreed that the Board of Directors of such party shall convene a meeting to consider any such offer by the other party promptly following the receipt thereof);
 
  •  the Board of Directors of JAG Media or Cryptometrics, as the case may be, concludes in good faith, after receiving the advice of its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Superior Proposal, the failure of it to

effect a Change of Recommendation would result in a breach of its fiduciary obligations to its stockholders under applicable law; and
 
  •  Neither JAG Media nor Cryptometrics shall have breached any of the provisions set forth with respect to the consideration and acceptance of a Superior Proposal set forth in the Merger Agreement.
 
PROXY STATEMENT; REGISTRATION STATEMENT
 
As promptly as practicable after the execution of the Merger Agreement, JAG Media, with the assistance of Cryptometrics, agreed to, and did, prepare and file with the SEC the Proxy Statement/Prospectus relating to the solicitation of proxies from JAG Media stockholders to authorize (i) the increase in the number of shares of JAG Media Common Stock authorized from 250,000,000 to 500,000,000 so as to permit the issuance of JAG Media Common Stock pursuant to the Merger and (ii) the change of JAG Media’s name to “Cryptometrics, Inc.” JAG Media prepared and filed with the SEC a Form S-4 Registration Statement in which the Proxy Statement was included as a prospectus (a) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of (i) the shares of JAG Media Common Stock to be issued to Cryptometrics stockholders pursuant to the Merger, and (ii) the JAG Media Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the options, warrants and exchangeable securities to purchase Cryptometrics Common Stock which become options, warrants and exchangeable securities to purchase JAG Media Common Stock by virtue of the Merger, and (b) in connection with the registration for resale, subject to the provisions of Company Lock-Up and Voting Agreements, of the shares of JAG Media Common Stock issued to Robert Barra and Michael Vitale and Joel Shaw in the Merger. Each of Cryptometrics and JAG Media was required to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Form S-4 Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable and, prior to the effective date of the Form S-4 Registration Statement, JAG Media was required to use its reasonable best efforts to take all or any action required under any applicable federal or state securities laws in connection with the issuance of shares of JAG Media Common Stock pursuant to the Merger. Cryptometrics failed to pay the legal costs described in the non-binding letter of intent dated September 9, 2005, entered into by Cryptometrics and JAG Media, but JAG Media elected to do so and continued to take all such actions as it deemed advisable to enable the Form S-4 Registration Statement to become effective. Each of Cryptometrics and JAG Media furnished all information concerning itself in connection with such actions and the preparation of the Form S-4 Registration Statement and Proxy Statement.
 
Each of Cryptometrics and JAG Media have agreed to give the other party and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 Registration Statement prior to filing any amendment or supplement with the SEC, and reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given to any comments made by the other party and its counsel.
 
Each of Cryptometrics and JAG Media will (i) promptly provide the other party and its counsel with any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that it or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Form S-4 Registration Statement promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications and (ii) provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to participate in the response to those comments and to provide comments on that response (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given), including by participating in any discussions or meetings with the SEC.
 
Neither Cryptometrics nor JAG Media will make any amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 Registration Statement without the approval of the other party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each of Cryptometrics and JAG Media will advise the other, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time at which the Form S-4 Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order, of the suspension of the qualification of the shares of JAG Media Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction.
 
The information supplied by Cryptometrics and JAG Media, as applicable, for inclusion in the Form S-4 Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement shall not, (i) at the time the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective, (ii) at the time the Proxy Statement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) is first mailed to the Cryptometrics Common Stockholders and JAG Media Common Stockholders or (iii) at the time of the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of JAG Media, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or fail to state


54

any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
 
If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, any event or circumstance relating to Cryptometrics and subsidiaries, in the case of Cryptometrics, or to JAG Media and its subsidiaries, in the case of JAG Media, or their respective officers or directors, should be discovered by Cryptometrics or JAG Media that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Form S-4 Registration Statement or Proxy Statement so that any of such documents will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, Cryptometrics or JAG Media, as applicable, shall promptly inform the other party. All documents that JAG Media is responsible for filing with the SEC in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by Merger Agreement will comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
 
Each of Cryptometrics and JAG Media have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to the other party two letters from their respective independent accountants, one dated approximately as of the date the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective and one dated approximately as of the closing date, each addressed to the other party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other party and customary in scope and substance for comfort letters delivered by independent public accountants in connection with registration statements on Form S-4 under the Securities Act.
 
Each of Cryptometrics and JAG Media shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to the other party consents from their respective independent accountants, dated the date on which the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective or a date not more than 2 days prior to such date, in form reasonably satisfactory to the other party and customary in scope and substance for consents delivered by independent public accountants in connection with registration statements on Form S-4 under the Securities Act.
 
MAINTENANCE OF REGISTRATION STATEMENTS
 
The parties acknowledged that JAG Media has an existing Registration Statement on Form S-8 which Cryptometrics agrees to cause to be maintained in effect following the Effective Time until all outstanding options covered thereby have been exercised or expired. Thomas J. Mazzarisi and Stephen J. Schoepfer have agreed not to exercise any of their existing stock options covered by such registration statement until the Closing or termination of the Merger Agreement.
 
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF JAG MEDIA
 
As required by the Merger Agreement, JAG Media held its 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders which approved (i) the amendment to JAG Media’s Articles of Incorporation to increase its authorized Common Stock and (ii) the amendment to JAG Media’s Articles of Incorporation to change the corporate name to “Cryptometrics, Inc.” upon consummation of the Merger. See Appendix B hereto for the text of such amendments as adopted.

The principal stockholders of Cryptometrics, Messrs. Barra and Vitale, who each own 28.07% of the outstanding shares of Cryptometrics entitled to vote, have delivered to JAG Media a Company Voting and Lock-up Agreement pursuant to which each such principal stockholder irrevocably agrees to deliver to Cryptometrics a written consent in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Merger executed by each of the principal stockholders.

The following unaudited condensed pro forma financial statements of JAG Media and Cryptometrics were derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of JAG Media and Cryptometrics and should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Consent Solicitation/Prospectus. The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet combines the historical unaudited consolidated balance sheets of JAG Media and Cryptometrics as of October 31, 2007 as if the reverse acquisition had been consummated as of that date and accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which Cryptometrics is the accounting acquirer and JAG Media is the accounting acquiree. The unaudited condensed pro forma statements of operations combine the operations of JAG Media for the three months ended October 31, 2007 with the operations of Cryptometrics for the three months ended July 31, 2007 as if the reverse acquisition were completed at the beginning of the three month period. The unaudited condensed pro forma statements of operations combine the operations of JAG Media for the year ended July 31, 2007 with the operations of Cryptometrics for the year ended April 30, 2007 as if the reverse acquisition were completed at the beginning of the year. Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical presentation of the financial statements of Cryptometrics to conform to the presentation used in the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements.
 
The unaudited condensed pro forma financial statements were prepared using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 “Business Combinations”. On December 27, 2005 (as subsequently amended) JAG Media entered into a Merger Agreement with Cryptometrics pursuant to which Cryptometrics would merge with a newly created subsidiary (the “Merger Sub”) of JAG Media. In consideration of the Merger, the stockholders of Cryptometrics would acquire shares of JAG Media Common Stock which would, upon issuance, represent approximately 87% of the combined company’s outstanding common stock, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Cryptometrics. Since the stockholders of Cryptometrics will receive the majority of the voting shares of the combined company, and the board of directors and management of the combined company will be controlled by members of the board of directors and management of Cryptometrics, the Merger will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby Cryptometrics will be the accounting acquirer and JAG Media, the legal acquirer, will be the accounting acquiree. In such case, JAG Media’s existing public stockholders would experience significant dilution from the issuance of these shares to the stockholders of Cryptometrics.
 
Until JAG Media and Cryptometrics agree otherwise, the Merger Agreement, notwithstanding the approval by the Cryptometrics stockholders, may be canceled with or without any reason by either JAG Media or Cryptometrics with no liability. Additionally, the consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement shall terminate automatically on March 1, 2008 unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
 
The Merger Agreement is attached as Appendices C-1 through C-12 hereto and should be referred to for further information regarding the Merger.
 
Holders of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time the Certificate of Merger is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, including as outstanding for this purpose the total number of shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock (the “Cryptometrics Exchange Shares”) for which outstanding exchangeable shares of Cryptometrics’ Canadian subsidiary, Cryptometrics Canada, Inc. (the “Exchangeable Shares”), can be exchanged, will be entitled to receive 394,700,016 shares of fully paid and nonassessable JAG Media Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”).
 
Holders of Cryptometrics Common Stock will in general receive shares of JAG Media Common Stock in proportion to their holdings of Cryptometrics Common Stock compared to all outstanding shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock (including as outstanding the Cryptometrics Exchange Shares) at the time of the Merger, subject to certain adjustments. A limited number of Cryptometrics stockholders holding 779,750 shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock, by virtue of subscription agreements with Cryptometrics, will receive a greater or lesser number of JAG Media shares. They will be entitled to own shares of the merger candidate’s common stock (now JAG Media Common Stock) with an aggregate fixed value following the effectiveness of the Merger (based on the post-Merger opening price on the OTC Bulletin Board or Pink Sheets) of $15,516,250, equal to 200% (in the case of 769,250 shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock) or 125% (in the case of 10,500 shares of Cryptometrics

Common Stock) of the original aggregate purchase price of their shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock under their subscription agreements, which in each case was $10.00 per share. The remaining number of shares of JAG Media Common Stock available to other stockholders of Cryptometrics will then be shared by such other stockholders pro rata to the number of shares held by each compared to the aggregate number shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock (including the Cryptometrics Exchange Shares) held by all of such other stockholders (including the holders of the Exchangeable Shares).
 
No fractional shares of JAG Media Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger.
 
Each share of Cryptometrics Common Stock held in the Cryptometrics’ treasury immediately prior to the Effective Time and each share owned by any subsidiary of Cryptometrics shall not represent the right to receive any Merger Consideration, and each such share shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no cash, securities or other property shall be payable in respect thereof.
 
The calculation of the purchase price as reflected in these pro forma condensed financial statements has been based upon a preliminary estimate of the number of shares to be effectively issued to the JAG Media stockholders as of the date of the acquisition. Management of Cryptometrics is currently assessing the fair values of the assets of JAG Media to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed. For the purposes of preparing the pro forma financial statements, management has made a preliminary estimate that the fair values of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets and the liabilities of JAG Media to be acquired or assumed by Cryptometrics will approximate their historical carrying values as of the effective date of the acquisition and the excess purchase price has been allocated to a single caption called “Intangible assets — in-process research and development acquired”. This preliminary allocation of the purchase price is dependent upon certain estimates and assumptions which are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of developing such pro forma condensed financial statements.
 
A final determination, as described below, of the fair values of JAG Media’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets and its liabilities will be based on their fair values as of the date of completion of the acquisition and such valuations could change significantly upon the completion of further analyses from those used in the condensed pro forma financial statements presented below.
 
The unaudited condensed pro forma financial statements were prepared using the assumptions described below and in the related notes. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are:
 
  •  directly attributable to the acquisition;
 
  •  factually supportable; and
 
  •  with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results.
 
A valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the purpose of allocating the purchase price has not yet been undertaken by the management of Cryptometrics in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 “Business Combinations” at this time. Upon closing, the management of Cryptometrics will engage third party experts and such other qualified personnel as will be required to make a full valuation to properly allocate the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value of the common stock to be effectively issued to JAG Media stockholders as the consideration for the acquisition of $12,648,751 plus the excess of the fair value of the net liabilities assumed over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired of $10,634,765 (a total of $23,283,516) has been preliminarily allocated to an intangible asset consisting of in process research and development acquired. In accordance with SFAS 141 such amount has been immediately written off and accounted for as explained in (a) and (i) in Note 2 to the pro forma financial statements. Management of Cryptometrics does not believe at this time that there is any basis for adjusting the historical values of the assets and liabilities of JAG Media or that there are any additional identifiable assets or liabilities that should be recorded. However, if after the more extensive evaluation has been performed upon the consummation of the acquisition there is appropriate evidence that any amount allocated to the historical balances or the amount allocated to in-process research and development acquired in the pro forma condensed financial statements should be adjusted or additional assets should be recorded in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 141 and subsequently amortized, the related adjustments will be recorded in subsequent post-

acquisition financial statements. The amounts recorded as a result of the preliminary allocation in the pro forma condensed financial statements may change significantly. Upon completion of the allocation, if any amounts are allocated to goodwill and/or intangible assets other than in-process research and development acquired, management will perform the tests required by SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and record additional impairment charges if necessary. In addition to the completion of the final valuation of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the impact of ongoing integration activities, the timing of completion of the transaction and other changes in JAG Media’s net tangible and intangible assets that occur prior to completion of the transaction could cause material differences in the information presented.
 
The proposed transaction is subject to various conditions being satisfied prior to closing, including, among others:
 
  •  neither JAG Media nor Cryptometrics having terminated the Merger Agreement, which either may do, with or without any reason at any time with no liability except that JAG Media must issue 1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to Cryptometrics if it unilaterally terminates the Merger Agreement;
 
  •  there is no law or court order prohibiting the Merger;
 
  •  the representations and warranties of JAG Media, Merger Sub and Cryptometrics remain accurate in all respects, with permitted exceptions;
 
  •  each of JAG Media, Merger Sub and Cryptometrics has performed, in all material respects, all of its respective obligations under the Merger Agreement;
 
  •  the holders of no more than 100,000 shares of Cryptometrics common stock exercise appraisal rights in connection with the Merger; and
 
  •  JAG Media not having outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money in excess of the principal amount of $4,350,000.
 
The unaudited condensed pro forma financial statements are provided for illustrative purposes only. They do not purport to represent what the combined company’s results of operations and financial position would have been had the transaction actually occurred as of the dates indicated, and they do not purport to project the combined company’s future results of operations or financial position.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Note 1:   Estimated Purchase Price and Shares to be Issued
 
The following unaudited condensed pro forma financial statements of JAG Media and Cryptometrics were derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of JAG Media and Cryptometrics and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the Notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Consent Solicitation/Prospectus. The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet combines the historical unaudited consolidated balance sheets of JAG Media and Cryptometrics as of October 31, 2007 as if the reverse acquisition had been consummated as of that date. The unaudited condensed pro forma statements of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2007 combine the unaudited historical consolidated statements of operations of JAG Media for the three months ended October 31, 2007 and Cryptometrics for the three months ended July 31, 2007 as if the reverse acquisition were completed at the beginning of the period. The unaudited condensed pro forma statement of operations for the year ended July 31, 2007 combines the audited historical statement of operations of JAG Media for the year ended July 31, 2007 with the audited historical consolidated statement of operations of Cryptometrics for the year ended April 30, 2007 as if the reverse acquisition was completed at the beginning of the year. Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical presentation of Cryptometrics to conform to the presentation used in the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements.

Excess purchase price preliminary allocated to intangible assets — in process research and development acquired
  $ 23,284  
         
 
A purchase price valuation has not yet been undertaken by the management of Cryptometrics in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 “Business Combinations”. Upon closing, the management of Cryptometrics will engage third party experts and such qualified personnel as will be required to make a full valuation to properly allocate the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value of the common stock to be effectively issued to JAG Media stockholders as the consideration for the acquisition of $12,649 plus the excess of the fair value of the net liabilities assumed over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired of $10,635 (a total of $23,284) has been preliminarily allocated to in process research and development acquired under a single caption called “Intangible assets — in-process research and development acquired “. In accordance with SFAS No. 141 such amount has been immediately written off and accounted for as explained in (a) and (i) in Note 2 to the pro forma financial statements. Management of Cryptometrics does not believe at this time that there is any basis for adjusting the historical value of the assets and liabilities of JAG Mediaor that there are any additional identifiable assets or liabilities that should be recorded. However, if after the more extensive evaluation has been performed upon consummation of the acquisition, there is appropriate evidence that any amount allocated to the historical balances or the amount alloated to in process research and development

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
acquired in the pro forma condensed financial statements should be adjusted or additional assets should be recorded in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 141 and subsequently amortized, the related adjustments will be recorded in subsequent post-acquisition financial statements. The accompanying pro forma condensed financial statements do not reflect such potential effects of reallocations and/or impairment charges.
 
Note 2:   Pro Forma Financial Statement Adjustments
 
The preliminary adjustments to record the reverse acquisition of JAG Media by Cryptometrics are as follows:
 
(a) an adjustment to record the excess of purchase price over the carrying value of net liabilities acquired which has preliminarily been recorded as an intangible asset consisting of in-process research and development acquired of $23,283,516 on the balance sheet;

JAG Media is registering the above-described shares covered by this prospectus on behalf of the above named selling stockholders. As used in this prospectus, “selling stockholders” includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer. These shares will be offered and sold by each selling stockholder for its own account. JAG Media will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of such shares pursuant to this prospectus. JAG Media has agreed to bear the expenses of the registration of these shares, including legal and accounting fees. JAG Media estimates these incremental expenses to be de minimis. The selling stockholders will bear all brokerage commissions and any similar selling expenses attributable to the sale of shares covered by this prospectus.
 
The selling stockholders may offer and sell these shares from time to time in transactions in the over-the-counter market or in negotiated transactions, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale. Such transactions may or may not involve brokers or dealers. The selling stockholders have advised JAG Media that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the


70


Table of Contents

proposed sale of shares by the selling stockholders. Sales may be made directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers which may act as agents or principals. Broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions).
 
The selling stockholders may also use Rule 144 under the Securities Exchange Act to sell the shares in open market transactions if they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of such rule.
 
Upon JAG Media being notified by any selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares covered by this prospectus through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker dealer, JAG Media will file a supplement to this prospectus, or a post-effective amendment, if required, disclosing (i) the name of the selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out in this prospectus and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon being notified by any selling stockholder that a donee, pledgee, transferee or other successor-in-interest intends to sell more than 500 shares, JAG Media will file a supplement to this prospectus.
 
The selling stockholders have, prior to any sales, agreed not to effect any offers or sales of JAG Media Common Stock in any manner other than as specified in this prospectus and not to purchase or induce others to purchase JAG Media Common Stock in violation of any applicable state or federal securities laws, rules and regulations and the rules and regulations of the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board or NASDAQ Capital Market. Except for the private placement documents described herein, there are no agreements or understandings, formal or informal, pertaining to the distribution of the shares described in this prospectus.
 
The selling stockholders will act independently of JAG Media in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling stockholders may sell the shares through the Pink Sheets or on the OTC Bulletin Board or on the NASDAQ Capital Market, as relevant, at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in private sales at negotiated prices directly or through brokers.
 
Any broker-dealer participating in transactions as agent may receive commissions from the selling stockholders, and, if acting as agent for the purchase of the shares, from the purchaser. Usual and customary brokerage fees will be paid by the selling stockholders. Broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent the broker-dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the selling stockholders, to purchase as principal may then resell the shares from time to time in transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions or by a combination of these methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with resales may pay to or receive from the purchasers of the shares commissions as described below.
 
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the shares will be sold in some jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In some states, the shares may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

The issued and outstanding shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
CANADIAN EXCHANGEABLE SHARES
 
In connection with the acquisition by Cryptometrics, Inc. for 1,500,000 shares of its common stock of all of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock of BioDentity Systems Corporation, a Canadian corporation, (now known as Cryptometrics Canada, Inc.), the shares of stock of BioDentity were each converted into 0.1550227 Exchangeable Shares of BioDentity and BioDentity issued to Cryptometrics 100,000 class A common shares which then constituted all of the issued and outstanding class A common shares of Biodentity. The Exchangeable Shares currently outstanding are exchangeable by the holders thereof into a total of 1,382,957 shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock and Cryptometrics has the option to redeem the Exchangeable Shares and the holders of the Exchangeable Shares have the option to exchange them for Cryptometrics Common Stock. Previously outstanding options or warrants of Biodentity were converted into options or warrant to acquire the balance of the 1,500,000 shares of stock of Cryptometrics, i.e. 116,042 shares.
 
The 1,382,957 shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock for which the outstanding Exchangeable Shares are exchangeable have been treated the same as the outstanding shares of Cryptometrics Common Stock and thus share equally in the Merger Consideration. The options and warrants for the Exchangeable Shares are treated the same as the options as warrants for the Cryptometrics Common Stock.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
The registrar and transfer agent for JAG Media’s Common Stock is Transfer Online, Inc., Portland, Oregon.
 
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
Upon issuance of the shares of JAG Media Common Stock to the Cryptometrics stockholders in connection with the Merger, such shares shall be registered with the SEC on this Registration Statement on Form S-4. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, however, stockholders of Cryptometrics shall not be permitted


75


Table of Contents

to sell or otherwise dispose of sixty-five percent (65%) of the JAG Media Common Stock received in connection with the Merger for a period of twelve months from the closing date of the transaction. Additionally, the Form S-4 shall separately register the shares of JAG Media Common Stock issuable to the current Co-Chief Executive Officers of Cryptometrics, Robert Barra and Michael A. Vitale, and the current Chief Strategy Officer of Cryptometrics, Joel Shaw, so that the shares are immediately saleable subject to the twelve-month lock-up restriction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to compliance with all relevant securities laws, thirty-five percent (35%) of the shares of JAG Media Common Stock issued to the Cryptometrics stockholders in connection with the Merger shall not be subject to the twelve-month lock-up provision.
 
COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDERS’ RIGHTS
 
Cryptometrics is incorporated in the State of Delaware. Stockholders of Cryptometrics, whose rights as stockholders are currently governed by Delaware law and Cryptometrics’ Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, will, upon effectiveness of the Merger become stockholders of a Nevada corporation, and their rights will be governed by Nevada law and JAG Media’s Articles of Incorporation, and By-Laws. Although it is impractical to note all of the changes in the rights of the stockholders of Cryptometrics resulting from the Merger, the following is a summary of the more significant of such changes.
 
STOCKHOLDER VOTING ON FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES
 
In Delaware and Nevada the laws pertaining to the stockholder vote required for a fundamental corporate change such a Merger or sale of substantially all the corporation’s assets are the same. In both Delaware and Nevada, a simple majority (greater than 50%) stockholder vote is required to effect a corporation’s Merger or sale of substantially all of its assets.
 
STOCKHOLDER ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING
 
Also, in both Delaware and Nevada a corporate action requiring stockholder approval may be taken without a meeting if a majority of the stockholders entitled to vote thereon consent to such action in writing.
 
APPRAISAL RIGHTS
 
In Nevada and Delaware, appraisal rights are similar.
 
In Nevada, if (i) the securities of the class entitled to vote are listed on a national securities exchange or are included in the Nasdaq Capital Market or (ii) if there are more than 2,000 stockholders of records, there is not an appraisal right where the Merger is (x) with another company listed on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Capital Market or (y) where such company has 2,000 stockholders and nothing other than cash or stock or a combination is being tendered in the Merger.
 
In Nevada, if corporate action is taken without a meeting of the stockholders, the corporation shall notify in writing all stockholders entitled to dissent that the action was taken and shall send them a written dissenter’s notice within 10 days after effectuation of the Merger or business combination, setting forth the procedure for the dissenting stockholders to follow to make demand for payment. The corporation shall pay the fair value of the dissenting stockholders’ shares, as determined by the corporation, within 30 days of demand of payment.
 
In Delaware, no appraisal rights are available for the shares of any class or series of stock in connection with a Merger or consolidation if (i) the securities of the class entitled to vote are listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders. Furthermore, no appraisal rights are available for any shares of stock of a constituent corporation surviving a Merger if the Merger did not require for its approval the votes of the stockholders of the surviving corporation.
 
In Delaware, if corporate action is taken without a meeting of the stockholders, the corporation shall notify, in writing, all stockholders entitled to dissent that the action was taken and shall send them a written dissenter’s notice within 10 days after effectuation of the Merger, setting forth the procedure for the dissenting stockholders to follow


76


Table of Contents

to make demand for payment. Within 20 days of the receipt of the notice of by the corporation that the action was taken, the stockholders must deliver a written demand for payment.
 
Within 120 days after the completion of the Merger, any stockholder who has complied with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law may file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding determination of the value of the shares held by all stockholders entitled to appraisal of their shares. If a petition for appraisal is duly filed by a stockholder and a copy is delivered to the company, the company will then be obligated within 20 days of receipt of the copy to provide the Court of Chancery with a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded an appraisal of their shares and with whom agreement as to the value of their shares has not been reached. After notice to these stockholders, the Delaware Court of Chancery is empowered to conduct a hearing to determine which stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights.
 
The Delaware Court of Chancery will then appraise the shares of stock, determining their fair value exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment of the Merger. When the value is determined, the Delaware Court will direct the payment by the company of this value, with interest thereon, simple or compound, if the Delaware Court of Chancery so determines, to the stockholders entitled to receive this money. For a description of the rights of Cryptometrics stockholders in connection with the Merger, please see the section entitled “Appraisal Rights” on page 25 of this Form S-4.
 
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
 
Except as noted below, corporate governance laws and procedures in Nevada and Delaware are different:
 
In Nevada, directors may be removed by a vote of 2/3rds of the stockholders entitled to vote, whereas in Delaware, unless the corporation’s charter documents provide otherwise, directors may be removed by a majority vote of the stockholders entitled to vote for such purpose. Absent contravening or limiting provisions in the charter or bylaws of a corporation, both states permit vacant director positions to be filled by appointment of the remaining Board of Directors.
 
In Nevada, the Board of Directors, without a vote of the stockholders, may approve and effectuate a reverse split or recapitalization of the outstanding shares on a pro rata basis. In Delaware, the law requires a stockholder vote to accomplish a reverse split of shares.
 
In Nevada, a person holding or representing 15% or more of the outstanding shares of a corporation may, on at least 5 days’ notice, inspect the books and financial records of the corporation. In Delaware, any stockholder may, during reasonable business hours and upon 5 days written notice, inspect the books and financial records of the corporation.
 
TAKEOVER BIDS
 
In Nevada, unless the Articles of Incorporation provide that the anti-takeover sections of the Nevada Revised Statutes do not apply any person or group acting together who acquires one fifth or more of the outstanding shares of the company (the “Control Shares”) must submit a take over statement to the other stockholders. The Control Shares may not be voted in any takeover attempt, unless a resolution authorizing the Control Shares to so vote is passed by a majority of the non-Control Shares.
 
In Delaware, unless otherwise provided by a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, a corporation shall not engage in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of 3 years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (i) prior to such time the Board of Directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (ii) consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (a) by persons who are directors and also officers and (b) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or (iii) at or subsequent to such time the business combination is approved by the Board of Directors and


77


Table of Contents

authorized at an annual or Annual meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 662/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.
 
For purposes of Delaware law, an “interested stockholder” generally means any person (other than the corporation and any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the corporation) that is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation. Nevada law includes similar statutory provisions with the following significant differences. In Nevada, the threshold for defining an “interested stockholder” is 10% of outstanding voting stock rather than 15%. Unlike Delaware, Nevada law does not provide for consummation of a combination prior to the expiration of the three year period pursuant to stockholder approval; if either the combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder has not been approved by the board of directors prior to the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder the three year period must expire before consummation. Combinations after expiration of the three year period must meet specified “fair price” criteria.

BUSINESS OF JAG MEDIA
 
OVERVIEW OF JAG MEDIA’S BUSINESS
 
JAG Media has been providing financial and investment information within the investment community since 1989. In May 1999, JAG Media began offering its services on a subscription fee basis to the general public for the first time through its U.S. website. At www.jagnotes.com, JAG Media offers timely financial data and reports and commentary from the financial community.
 
From 1989 to 1992, JAG Media operated as an unincorporated business entity. In 1992, JAG Media incorporated in the State of New Jersey as New Jag, Inc. On December 14, 1993, JagNotes, Inc. merged with and into JAG Media, and the company changed its name to JagNotes, Inc. JAG Media operated as JagNotes, Inc. until March 1999 when it was acquired by Professional Perceptions, Inc., a Nevada corporation, which subsequently changed its name to JagNotes.com Inc. JagNotes, Inc. remained a wholly-owned subsidiary of JagNotes.com Inc. until August 16, 1999 when it merged with and into JagNotes.com Inc.
 
Until 1999, JAG Media targeted only a limited audience of financial professionals and it did not engage in organized sales and marketing efforts. As discussed in more detail below, in 1999 JAG Media decided to change its focus by expanding onto the Internet and targeting retail subscribers with the hope of expanding its subscriber base and business. In September 2000, JAG Media started an advertiser-based financial web cast which it sold on February 1, 2001 as it was unable to continue to fund its operating losses.
 
JAG Media undertook a corporate reorganization in January 2002 in order to distinguish and better manage its areas of business. On January 4, 2002, JAG Media LLC was formed as a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of JagNotes.com, Inc. The assets and liabilities of JAG Media’s current fax and Internet subscription business were transferred to JAG Media LLC. In order to better reflect the overall business in which JAG Media expected to engage and the corporate structure JAG Media intended to use to conduct that business, the company changed its corporate name from JagNotes.com Inc. to JAG Media Holdings, Inc. effective April 8, 2002.
 
JAG Media’s jagnotes.com website currently consists of a subscription-based service that offers two specific products, the JAGNotes (Upgrade/Downgrade) Report and the Rumor Room, providing timely market reports, including breaking news and potentially market moving information. JAG Media currently derives its revenues primarily from the sale of subscriptions.
 
JAG Media, through its subsidiary, Pixaya (UK) Limited, purchased certain development stage software and related assets in the United Kingdom on November 24, 2004. On August 8, 2006, JAG Media changed the name of its subsidiary, JAG Media, LLC, to Pixaya LLC in order to better reflect its role as owner of Pixaya (UK) Limited as well as the primary provider of support for the products of Pixaya (UK) Limited in the United States. JAG Media continued to finance the development and marketing by Pixaya (UK) Limited of one product, a mobile surveillance system which streams live video in real time from the point of use back to a control center and, if desired, to other locations. JAG Media has only made minimal sales of such product as part of its distribution efforts. Due to the lack of funding, Pixaya (UK) Limited is currently inactive.
 
JAG Media has also decided to seek acquisition candidates which may be engaged in unrelated lines of business. See “— Our Business Strategy”.
 
JAG Media is a Nevada corporation. JAG Media’s address is 6865 S.W. 18th Street, Suite B13, Boca Raton, Florida 33433, and its telephone number is 866-300-7410.
 
JAG MEDIA’S INDUSTRY GENERALLY
 
The growth of the Internet has changed the way investors seek information and manage their portfolios. Individual investors are increasingly seeking access to information that was formerly available only to financial professionals. Professional investors who have traditionally relied on print and other media for information are demanding faster information and greater accessibility.

Table of Contents

 
As of August 2007, there were over one billion Internet users worldwide, including over 212 million users in the United States, representing a 70% penetration. See Internet World Stats website (http://www.internetworldstats.com).
 
According to tracking surveys conducted by Pew Internet & American Life Project as of November 2004, approximately 44% use the Internet to obtain financial information and approximately 13% use the Internet to buy or sell stocks, bonds or mutual funds. (http://www.pewinternet.org/trends/Internet_Activities_3.02.05.htm). An updated Pew study published June 14, 2006 has confirmed that the 44% user rate for financial information has remained generally constant from 2000-2005. (http://www.pewinternet.org/pdfs/PIP_Online_Banking_2006.pdf).
 
With respect to JAG Media’s Pixaya business unit, which is currently inactive, the mobile and wireless industries are experiencing significant growth and changing the way businesses operate and people communicate. Both industries are also giving rise to new forms of mobile entertainment, communication and information not available just a few short years ago. As of December 31, 2005 there were more than 200 million wireless subscribers in the U.S. and reported wireless minutes of use exceeded 1.4 trillion in 2005. By the end of 2006 there were over 233 million users and reported wireless minutes of use exceeded 1.6 trillion. (http://files.ctia.org/pdf/ CTIA_Survey_Year_End_2006_Graphics.pdf). By June 2007, there were over 243 million users in the U.S. and reported wireless minutes of use in 2007 had reached one trillion by halfway through the year. (http://files.ctia.org/pdf/CTIA_Survey_Mid_Year_2007.pdf).
 
In addition, wireless carriers are updating their networks and are in the process of deploying their next-generation high-speed broadband networks, commonly referred to as 3G. Sprint, whose technology is based on the CDMA standard, intends to have its EVDO Rev A high-speed broadband network substantially deployed by the end of 2007 (http://www.mobiletechnews.com/info/2006/08/03/104744.html). Such 3G networks will significantly improve uplink and downlink speeds, thereby providing an enhanced user experience when viewing video, accessing the Internet or working with any large data files.
 
JAG MEDIA’S PRODUCTS
 
JAG Media has been providing financial and investment information within the investment community since 1989. In May 1999, JAG Media began offering its services on a subscription fee basis to the general public for the first time through its U.S. website.
 
JAG Media’s jagnotes.com website consists solely of a subscription-based service. During its fiscal year, ended July 31, 2006, JAG Media discontinued the free portion of its website.
 
JAG Media offers its subscribers two targeted products: The JAGNotes (Upgrade/Downgrade) Report, targeted primarily at institutional subscribers, and the Rumor Room, targeted primarily at retail individual customers. These two products are accessible only to paid subscribers. Subscriptions are offered to individuals at the rate of $9.95 per month, or $99.95 per year. JAG Media has offered free trial subscriptions at times in the past and may do so in the future.
 
JAGNOTES (UPGRADE/DOWNGRADE) REPORT — The JAGNotes Report is a daily consolidated investment report that summarizes newly issued research, analyst opinions, upgrades, downgrades and analyst coverage changes from various investment banks and brokerage houses. Each morning JAG Media gathers this information, then compiles and releases it in a concise, easy to read format before the markets open. JAG Media believes that this report gives early, convenient access to its subscribers of potentially market moving information which was traditionally not available in a convenient format when the market opens. This report is updated from time to time during the trading day.
 
JAG Media’s current strategy involves phasing out retail subscribers for its JAGNotes Report and refocusing on institutional customers and professional traders. JAG Media has always maintained its original JAGNotes fax-based service for a limited number of mostly institutional subscribers. Through this service, JAG Media provides these subscribers faxed copies of its daily JAGNotes Report, which is provided through installments as information is received every weekday morning before the stock market opens. JAG Media also allows these subscribers access to its Internet-based information by providing them with a specified number of access codes. The price for this combined service is approximately $1,500 to $2,150 per year. The content of its website contains substantially all of


80


Table of Contents

the information provided in the faxed reports as well as updates of such information and the Rumor Room described below.
 
JAG Media intends to continue providing its combined fax/Internet service in the future primarily to institutional subscribers. JAG Media believes that some financial institutions are willing to pay a higher price for this combined service because they consider a faxed report to be a more user friendly means of receiving the information even if their employees have direct Internet access.
 
While JAG Media intends to focus its efforts exclusively on offering the JAGNotes Report to institutional customers, JAG Media recognizes that it remains of interest to some retail customers as well. However, to avoid the cost of accessing such individuals JAG Media expects to do so almost exclusively through strategic affiliations such as its current arrangement with Track Data, as described under “Our Business Strategy”, below.
 
THE RUMOR ROOM — Because rumors can move equities, JAG Media has established the Rumor Room where JAG Media posts rumors that have been heard on the street about various stocks. When JAG Media hears rumors, JAG Media posts the information in the Rumor Room and indicates the date and time of the rumor. While JAG Media realizes that rumors are inherently unreliable as indicated by a cautionary note introducing this portion of its site, JAG Media believes that every trader and investor — large and small — should have access to this information to determine its usefulness. The Rumor Room is available to its subscribers and updated whenever JAG Media receives relevant information.
 
Although targeted primarily at individual subscribers, the Rumor Room is also made available through JAG Media’s website to institutional investors as described above. As described below, if JAG Media can obtain funding and its English subsidiary, Pixaya, can complete development of its Pixaya Mobile software product, which delivers on-demand video/audio clips and text messages to mobile phones, JAG Media intends to try to distribute the Rumor Room through mobile phones as well. JAG Media believes such a distribution channel might better access its target audience. There can be no assurance, however, that such development will be successfully completed or, if completed, that customers will embrace this new mode of distribution. For the time being, JAG Media has stopped further development of this product in light of its lack of liquidity.
 
PIXAYA — On November 24, 2004, through its English subsidiary now named Pixaya (UK) Limited, JAG Media purchased certain development stage software and related assets from TComm Limited, a company also organized in the United Kingdom. At the time of acquisition, TComm Limited was in various stages of development of four software products. The one product JAG Media continued to develop is SurvayaCam (previously CCMTV), which consists of software programs and related hardware intended to permit field personnel to send real-time video streams from the field to a central location (or multiple locations) where they can be viewed. JAG Media is also now attempting to market SurvayaCam through demonstrations and pilot program deployments of the product. Some pilot programs involved JAG Media providing SurvayaCam software and hardware free of charge, while others involved the purchase of SurvayaCam at a discount price. In addition, JAG Media has attempted to develop a network of resellers who could function as the primary distribution channel for SurvayaCam. JAG Media has only made minimal sales of such product as part of such distribution efforts.
 
Due to its lack of funding, JAG Media has for the time being discontinued further developing Pixaya Mobile (previously known as TComm TV), which delivers on-demand video/audio clips and text messages to various Java-based and Symbian-based mobile phones. JAG Media has discontinued its support of the other three products it originally acquired. In addition, after the acquisition JAG Media first supported and then had to suspend development of a new mobile phone product named “SOS Guides,” which are mobile travel guides that will be made available to users through their mobile phones.
 
ADVERTISING REVENUE
 
While JAG Media expects the primary source of its revenue to be from subscriptions for its JAGNotes Report and the Rumor Room, JAG Media may supplement this with advertising revenue. Such revenues have, however, not been meaningful to date. JAG Media would not expect such revenues to become material until (i) there is a major upturn from current levels in Internet banner advertising generally or JAG Media is able to offer advertisers various


81


Table of Contents

media advertising alternatives to banners and (ii) JAG Media has been successful in increasing the number of unique visitors to its website.
 
JAG MEDIA’S BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
The success of JAG Media’s business depends on its ability to obtain the requisite financing and be able to:
 
  •  improve its revenues;
 
  •  curtail costs to correspond with its revenues; and
 
  •  pursue merger and other expansion opportunities.
 
JAG Media’s strategy to improve its revenues has not been effective to date, as its revenues have declined and leveled off at a level which cannot support the cost of such revenues. While pursuant to its strategy JAG Media has taken steps to curtail costs, it does not believe it is practicable to further curtail costs to the level that they will correspond with its revenues. Accordingly, while JAG Media has not abandoned its revenue and cost strategies, the primary focus of its strategy is the pursuit of merger and other expansion opportunities. Accordingly, JAG Media has principally used its limited available funds to support its attempts to find and consummate a merger, with a modest amount also being used to support Pixaya’s SurvayaCam, as JAG Media believes it has the best potential for the most immediate revenue return. JAG Media’s strategy is to continue such an allocation of its limited funds.
 
In order to put itself in a position to implement its increased revenue and cost curtailment strategy if it obtains the requisite financing, JAG Media intends to try to re-position its two basic products so they are targeted more effectively at their respective markets: institutional customers (JAGNotes Report) and retail customers (the Rumor Room). In time, JAG Media hopes that by refocusing its products on specific customer groups, JAG Media may become a more important information resource both for institutional customers, such as investors, brokers and investment advisers, and for individual retail customers.
 
• Increase Revenues.
 
JAG Media believes the institutional market for the JAG Notes Report, provided it has sufficient funds available to improve its content and distribution, offers an opportunity to achieve higher revenues at lower per unit cost than the retail market JAG Media has been pursuing. Accordingly, with respect to its JAGNotes Report, JAG Media plans to focus on servicing the institutional segment of its business. To assist JAG Media in this effort, if it has the requisite funding, JAG Media intends to investigate ways of using the Internet more effectively in distributing its product to the institutional market and help those customers in turn redistribute the product to their professional employees. Also, in order to access individual professional traders without incurring excessive marketing costs, JAG Media intends to pursue strategic affiliations, partnerships, joint ventures or other relationships with strategic partners, such as its current arrangements with Track Data, Comtex, Inc. and Acquire Media Corporation, financial information platforms for professional traders, whereby they offer its JAGNotes Report as part of their collection of subscriber services to the professional trading community. JAG Media has not, however, recently been successful in adding additional strategic partners.
 
With respect to the Rumor Room service, JAG Media believes that developing technologies, such as mobile phones, may give it a better distribution channel which can make the individual customer market for the Rumor Room cost effective as well, assuming JAG Media can obtain the necessary funds to improve the content and distribution of the product. If JAG Media is able to fund development of its Pixaya mobile software, it will explore the feasibility of using mobile phones as a new distribution channel for its Rumor Room service.
 
Finally, as part of its strategy to increase revenues, since JAG Media believes that SurvayaCam has been developed to the point where JAG Media can do sales demonstrations and pilot program deployments, JAG Media has made efforts to distribute such product, but has not been successful to date.
 
• Curtail Costs.
 
JAG Media sold its web casting business and discontinued its efforts to market its Company Voice product to reduce its cash flow requirements. In addition, JAG Media has discontinued all its paid commentators and all but


82


Table of Contents

two of its employees in order to save costs. Finally, JAG Media has had to deactivate its Pixaya business unit for the time being to curtail costs.
 
JAG Media is not aware of further costs which can be curtailed at this point. Many of our general and administrative costs are related to being a public company and these costs are difficult to reduce in light of the recent Sarbanes-Oxley legislation and its new requirements. While JAG Media will continue to look for cost savings and intends as well to explore ways to reduce cash expenditures through the issuance of shares, it does not believe it is possible as a practical matter to reduce costs on an accrual or cash basis to a level commensurate with its current or expected revenues.
 
• Pursue Merger and Other Expansion Opportunities.
 
This portion of JAG Media’s strategy represents its highest priority.
 
JAG Media has looked at various possible acquisitions over the past three years. Over that period JAG Media has increased its efforts to find a compatible merger candidate and has considered dividing its business to help jump start its growth and perhaps attain access to more funding sources. A merger candidate need not be in JAG Media’s specific line of business, but could be in another line of business related to the stock market or software or it could be in an unrelated line of business. JAG Media’s current strategy is to not foreclose any attractive candidate based upon its line of business.
 
JAG Media is also are pursuing the possibility, subject to available funding, of spinning off one of its two major services in order to maximize the chances of successfully developing both such services by focusing them on their respective target customer bases.
 
Pursuant to the above strategy, JAG Media has located a possible merger candidate, Cryptometrics, Inc. While there can be no assurance that the transaction will ever be consummated, on December 27, 2005 JAG Media entered into a merger agreement, which was subsequently amended from time to time by amendments dated January 24, 2007, February 26, 2007, April 2, 2007, April 20, 2007, May 11, 2007, May 18, 2007, June 15, 2007, July 16, 2007, August 16, 2007, November 7, 2007 and February 6, 2008 with Cryptometrics pursuant to which Cryptometrics would merge with JAG Media’s newly created subsidiary. In consideration of the Merger, the stockholders of Cryptometrics would acquire 394,700,016 shares of JAG Media common stock which would, upon issuance, represent approximately 87% of JAG Media’s outstanding common stock, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Cryptometrics. In such case, JAG Media’s existing public stockholders would experience significant dilution from the issuance of such shares to the stockholders of Cryptometrics. If consummated, the transaction would be accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which Cryptometrics would be deemed the acquirer for accounting purposes. Because of the financial performance of JAG Media, if the Merger is consummated there can be no assurance that the new management of JAG Media (to be renamed Cryptometrics, Inc.) will continue all or any of JAG Media’s current lines of business.
 
Until JAG Media agrees otherwise, the Merger Agreement may be canceled with or without any reason by either JAG Media or Cryptometrics with no liability. In any case, the Merger Agreement will automatically terminate if the closing does not occur by March 31, 2008, unless the parties otherwise agree to extend such date. Additionally, the consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, (i) the representations and warranties of the parties being true and correct (ii) JAG Media’s shares of common stock having been authorized for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or the OTC Pink Sheets and (iii) the limitation of JAG Media’s aggregate indebtedness to $4,350,000. There is no assurance that the proposed Merger between JAG Media and Cryptometrics will be consummated, or if it is consummated, that it will be pursuant to the terms described above.
 
The Merger Agreement, including the amendments thereto, are included as Appendices C-1 through C-12 to this Consent Solicitation/Prospectus and should be reviewed for further information regarding the Merger.
 
JAG Media has considered a possible spin off of either the Rumor Room, together with its related Pixaya Mobile software development business, or the JAGNotes Report. Any such spin off might possibly be done in connection with a merger with another enterprise which may be in an unrelated line of business. JAG Media believes its two products might be better repositioned and developed as their own corporate entities which might also appeal


83


Table of Contents

to different investors. JAG Media is not currently considering any spin off and has not entered into any term sheet in connection with any merger related to such a spin off. There can be no assurance that any such spin off, with or without a merger, will prove feasible or be consummated.
 
JAG Media will require additional funds in order to implement its business strategy. At its current usage rate of cash, the cash generated from JAG Media’s operations will not be sufficient to fund the liquidity requirements of its current business strategy. Accordingly, JAG Media will need to raise additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships, mergers or other arrangements. There can be no assurances that JAG Media will be able to do so.
 
Note: These are JAG Media’s strategies, goals and targets. JAG Media believes in them, but cannot guarantee that it will be successful in implementing them or that, even if implemented, they will be effective in creating a profitable business. Strategies that in the past JAG Media thought would be successful have not proven effective. In addition JAG Media is dependent on having sufficient cash to carry out its strategy. Alternatively, JAG Media may have to continue to reduce services to a level subscribers or customers may not find valuable. Please read “Risk Factors” beginning on page 12.
 
REGULATION
 
The securities industry is subject to extensive regulation under federal and state laws in the United States, and companies that provide financial advice to investors are generally required to register as investment advisers at either the federal or state level. JAG Media believes that its business consists of a publishing activity for which investment adviser registration and regulation do not apply under applicable federal or state law, and thus JAG Media is not registered as an investment adviser with either the SEC or any of the various states. The regulatory environment in which it operates is subject to change, however, and JAG Media could be required to register as an investment adviser with an appropriate regulatory agency at some point in the future.
 
In addition, JAG Media operates in an environment of uncertainty about potential government regulation of the Internet and Internet-based service providers. JAG Media believes that its business is not currently subject to direct regulation other than regulations applicable to businesses generally. However, the Internet is evolving rapidly, and governmental agencies have not yet been able to adapt all existing regulations to the Internet environment. The United States Congress has passed legislation that regulates certain aspects of the Internet, including on-line content, copyright infringement, user privacy, liability for third-party activities and jurisdiction. Specifically, with respect to one aspect of copyright law, on October 28, 1998, the United States Congress passed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). The DMCA includes statutory licenses for the performance of sound recordings and for the making of recordings to facilitate transmissions. Under these statutory licenses, depending on JAG Media’s future business activities, it and its customers may be required to pay licensing fees in connection with digital sound recordings which JAG Media might deliver to its customers. Additionally, federal, state, local and foreign governmental organizations also from time to time consider other legislative and regulatory proposals that would regulate the Internet. Although JAG Media is also contemplating distribution by mobile phone, that sector is also regulated.
 
JAG Media cannot predict what new laws will be enacted or how courts will interpret both existing and new laws. As a result, JAG Media is uncertain as to how new laws or the application of existing laws may affect its business. For example, while JAG Media is not aware of any pending laws or regulations that would restrict its ability to disseminate market-based rumors and other information of unsubstantiated reliability, it is possible that such laws or regulations may be passed in the future. Increased regulation in this area could decrease the demand for its services, increase its cost of doing business or otherwise have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the ways in which internet companies deal with copyrighted content which appears on their sites are in flux.
 
COMPETITION
 
Providing financial information and analysis over the Internet is an intensely competitive business. A large number of web-based financial information providers are competing for subscribers, customers, advertisers,


84


Table of Contents

content providers, analysts, commentators and staff. In addition, cable television is an increasingly important source of financial news and therefore competition.
 
JAG Media’s business competes to a different degree with the following information sources, many of which provide their information without charge:
 
  •  Online financial news and information providers including Yahoo Finance, Marketwatch, TheStreet.com, Forbes.com, Briefing.com, America Online Personal Finance, Reuters and MotleyFool.com;
 
  •  Internet portals and search engines such as AOL, MSN and Yahoo;
 
  •  Traditional media sources such as The Wall Street Journal, Investor’s Business Daily, The Financial Times, Barrons, CNN/Money, and MSN Money/CNBC, all of which also have an Internet presence;
 
  •  Terminal-based financial news providers including Bloomberg, Reuters and Dow Jones; and
 
  •  Online brokerage firms such as TD Ameritrade, E*Trade Financial, Charles Schwab and Fidelity.
 
Because there is not a readily defined market in which JAG Media competes, it cannot predict which information source or sources will be its primary competition in the future. However, JAG Media expects competition from each of the above information sources to intensify and increase in the future. Most of JAG Media’s current and potential competitors have greater name recognition, larger financial, technical and marketing resources, and more extensive customer bases than it does, all of which could be leveraged to gain market share to our detriment. Such advantages would also permit its competitors to enter new sectors such as distribution through mobile phones, more easily than we will be able to do.
 
It is not difficult for new competitors to enter the market. Many blogs now provide financial information at no cost. Much of the information JAG Media provides is publicly available and it does not have any patented or otherwise protected technologies that would preclude or inhibit competitors from entering its markets. JAG Media’s current and future competitors may develop or offer services that have significant price, content, creative or other advantages over the services JAG Media provides.
 
In order for JAG Media to successfully compete in this business, it will need to reliably provide valuable services to a greater number of institutional and other subscribers who are willing to pay JAG Media fees sufficient to support such services. JAG Media believes that over time, if it can obtain sufficient funding, a successful implementation of its business strategy will allow JAG Media to compete successfully as a focused provider of timely investment information to institutional and retail customers.

FACILITIES
 
JAG Media’s executive and administrative headquarters are currently located at 6865 SW 18th Street, Suite B13, in Boca Raton, Florida. JAG Media rents this space at a cost of $1,250 per month. The servers for JAG Media’s websites are housed at separate locations as indicated above (see “Website Technical Information”). JAG Media believes that it will be able to locate suitable new office space and obtain a suitable replacement for its Florida office space, if the lease is not renewed on commercially reasonable terms.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
On June 20, 2002, JAG Media and its President and Chief Executive Officer, Gary Valinoti, filed a complaint in the 165th District Court of Harris County, Texas against over 150 brokerage firms, alleging, among other things, a conspiracy among the defendants to short sell JAG Media stock. The original lawsuit was subsequently amended on June 24, 2002 and was removed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. The plaintiffs subsequently filed a motion in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas to have the action remanded back to the state court where it was originally commenced. That motion was denied and the action proceeded in the federal district court. On October 1, 2003, the Court denied various motions to dismiss made on behalf of the defendants. However, in its ruling, the Court indicated that all motions to dismiss could have been granted in light of the defective pleadings made by plaintiffs and allowed plaintiffs 20 days to file an amended complaint to comply with certain pleading requirements of the Court. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint within the required period. Discovery was stayed while the motions to dismiss were pending.
 
After plaintiffs filed their third amended complaint, 78 out of the total of approximately 150 defendants again filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. On September 6, 2004, the Court entered an order granting the moving defendants’ motion to dismiss the lawsuit, again citing various deficiencies in the pleadings. The Court did not grant the plaintiffs leave to replead.
 
The plaintiffs and the moving defendants have since stipulated to the entry of a final judgment dismissing the third amended complaint against the moving defendants with prejudice. Under this stipulation, the parties agreed on entry of final judgment to (a) waive their right to attorneys fees or seek sanctions and bear their own costs and (b) not appeal the judgment.
 
On December 3, 2004, JAG Media announced that its original counsel had assigned its legal retainer agreement in connection with the lawsuit to a legal consortium consisting of various law firms and other consultants throughout the country, which includes JAG Media’s original counsel. JAG Media has met with its new attorneys and continues to evaluate with them its options for recommencing an action against certain defendants and possibly other parties in light of the court’s order.
 
EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT WITH YA GLOBAL.
 
As of April 9, 2002, JAG Media entered into, and on July 8, 2004 and July 21, 2004, JAG Media amended, an Equity Line Purchase Agreement with YA Global Investments, L.P., then known as Cornell Capital Partners, L.P., for a $10 million equity line pursuant to which JAG Media was able to sell its shares of common stock to YA Global from time to time. The purpose of such sales was to provide JAG Media with general working capital, including funds which might be required by virtue of its strategic plan. This agreement superseded JAG Media’s original equity line purchase agreement with YA Global, dated August 17, 2001. Effective May 25, 2006, as a condition of a new financing from YA Global, JAG Media terminated the Equity Line Purchase Agreement with YA Global, which had been scheduled to expire on August 28, 2006. As of its termination, $4,035,000 of our equity line had been utilized.
 
$2,000,000 PROMISSORY NOTE
 
On February 2, 2005 JAG Media borrowed $2,000,000 from YA Global. The $2,000,000 loan was evidenced by a Promissory Note dated as of January 25, 2005 executed by JAG Media and YA Global, the repayment of which was subsequently extended on August 5, 2005. JAG Media used the proceeds of the loan for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Table of Contents

 
Under the terms of the Promissory Note, as amended, the face amount of the Promissory Note and interest on the amount from time to time outstanding at a rate of 12% per year was payable either (i) out of the net proceeds to be received by JAG Media upon delivery of put notices under the Equity Line Purchase Agreement with YA Global or (ii) in full by JAG Media within 753 calendar days of January 25, 2005 regardless of the availability of proceeds under the Equity Line Purchase Agreement, unless an extension were mutually agreed to by the parties in writing. Pursuant to the Promissory Note, JAG Media deposited in escrow 35 put notices under the Equity Line Purchase Agreement in an amount of $60,000 each and one request for a put under the Equity Line Purchase Agreement in an amount of $181,017. None of such put notices was ever released from escrow until they were all returned to JAG Media for cancellation. JAG Media paid to YA Global a fee of $100,000 in connection with this transaction as well as a $5,000 documentation fee.
 
As permitted by the terms of the Promissory Note, JAG Media opted to make three (3) interest payments to YA Global, each in the amount of $20,000, paid in a single lump sum of $60,000 on August 5, 2005.
 
CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
 
Effective May 25, 2006, pursuant to a letter agreement with YA Global, JAG Media converted $250,000 of the outstanding $2,000,000 principal of the Promissory Note into 1,250,000 shares of its common stock which JAG Media issued to YA Global. JAG Media converted the remaining $1,750,000 of the principal of the Promissory Note and $150,000 in accrued and unpaid interest into a $1,900,000 10% Secured Convertible Debenture which JAG Media also issued to YA Global on May 25, 2006.
 
In addition to refinancing its existing Promissory Note dated January 25, 2005, as amended August 5, 2005, in favor of YA Global, in May 2006 JAG Media obtained further financing in the principal amount of $2,250,000 from YA Global. In connection with all such financings, JAG Media issued three secured convertible debentures, bearing interest at 10% per year and payable in three years, in the aggregate principal amount of $4,150,000.
 
JAG Media may, in its sole discretion, redeem any and all amounts owed under such secured convertible debentures provided that the closing bid price of its common stock is less than the fixed conversion price, initially $0.40 per share, at the time JAG Media delivers notice to YA Global of its desire to redeem any amounts owed. JAG Media must pay a redemption premium of 10% on any amounts redeemed.
 
In connection with the $2,250,000 financing, JAG Media and its subsidiary, Pixaya LLC, entered into Security Agreements with YA Global effective May 25, 2006, which provide that the secured convertible debentures will remain secured by JAG Media’s assets and those of Pixaya LLC until the registration statement covering the shares into which such secured convertible debentures are convertible has been effective for 60 days. At such time, the security interests will automatically terminate provided JAG Media’s common stock is trading on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board at a price above $0.08 per share and there has occurred no event of default under the secured convertible debentures.
 
YA Global has the right to convert the secured convertible debentures, at its sole option, into shares of JAG Media’s common stock at a conversion price which shall be the lower of (i) $0.40 per share or (ii) a 10% discount to the lowest volume weighted average price, as reported by Bloomberg, of JAG Media’s common stock during the 30 trading days prior to the conversion date.
 
If JAG Media issues shares of common stock or rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt that are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock, being common stock equivalents, entitling any person to acquire shares of common stock or common stock equivalents, at a price per share less than the then fixed conversion price, then, at the sole option of the holder of a debenture, the fixed conversion price shall be adjusted to mirror the lower conversion, exchange or purchase price for such new common stock, or common stock equivalents, at issue. No such adjustment shall be made as a result of issuances and exercises of options for compensatory purposes under our 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The fixed conversion price of the secured convertible debentures is also subject to adjustment in connection with certain corporate transactions.
 
YA Global may not convert the secured convertible debentures into an amount of shares of JAG Media’s common stock that would result in it owning in excess of 4.99% (subsequently amended to 9.99%) of the then total outstanding shares of its common stock, unless YA Global chooses to waive such restriction, which waiver would be


87


Table of Contents

subject to a 65-day notice period. See “Risk Factors” for a description of the special risks posed by our issuance of the secured convertible debentures.
 
JAG Media paid YA Global a commitment fee equal to 10% of the disbursements of $2,250,000 at closing, as well as a $15,000 structuring fee and their counsel’s fee of $15,000.
 
There were two conversions aggregating $75,000 for 404,955 shares of JAG Media’s common stock under one of the secured convertible debentures during its fiscal year ended July 31, 2006 and conversions aggregating $555,000 for 4,432,111 shares under the same debenture during its fiscal year ended July 31, 2007. During the six months ended January 31, 2008, there have been further conversions aggregating $3,520,000 principal amount, which discharged all of the secured convertible debentures outstanding, and $535,679 of accrued interest, representing all accrued and unpaid interest on such debentures. JAG Media issued a total of 10,139,199 shares in connection with such conversions.
 
The secured convertible debentures were amended, conditioned upon the effectiveness of JAG Media’s Merger with Cryptometrics, by letter agreements dated January 24, 2007, February 26, 2007, April 2, 2007, April 20, 2007, May 11, 2007, May 18, 2007, June 15, 2007, July 16, 2007, September 10, 2007 and November 7, 2007, all of which have terminated in accordance with their terms. JAG Media and YA Global entered into a new letter agreement on January 31, 2008 which provided for the conversion of the secured convertible debentures then outstanding and which increased the limit of its ownership of JAG Media from 4.99% as described above to 9.99%.
 
WARRANTS
 
In connection with the $2,250,000 new financing, JAG Media also issued to YA Global five warrants to purchase 12,000,000 shares of its common stock as follows: (i) Warrant No. CCP-1 exercisable for 2,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.40 per share; (ii) Warrant No. CCP-2 exercisable for 2,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.50 per share; (iii) Warrant No. CCP-3 exercisable for 2,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.60 per share; (iv) Warrant No. CCP-4 exercisable for 3,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.70 per share; and (v) Warrant No. CCP-5 exercisable for 3,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.80 per share. All five warrants expire in May 2011.
 
The exercise price and number of shares issuable pursuant to each of the warrants are also subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. In the event that JAG Media issues or sells any common stock, or is deemed to have issued or sold common stock through issuing stock options or convertible securities at or representing a price per share less than the exercise price of the warrants in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then immediately after the issuance or sale, the exercise price of the warrants then in effect will be reduced to an amount equal to the price at which the common stock was, or was deemed to be, sold or issued. No such adjustment shall be made as a result of issuances of shares under its 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Upon each adjustment to the exercise price of the warrants, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants will be adjusted to the number of shares determined by multiplying the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product by the exercise price resulting from such adjustment. The exercise price and the number of shares issuable pursuant to each of the warrants is also subject to adjustment in connection with certain corporate transactions.
 
YA Global exercised Warrant No. CCP-1 to the extent of 700,000 shares on January 31, 2008 at the exercise price of $0.40 per share resulting in proceeds to JAG Media of $280,000. The January 31, 2008 letter agreement referred to above amends the remaining outstanding warrants to purchase 11,300,000 shares of JAG Media’s common stock so that their respective first exercise dates will be 30 trading days following the Closing of the Merger, March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008, September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008 and amends the exercise price of the warrants to be 88% of the average of the Volume Weighted Average Price of JAG Media’s common stock as quoted by Bloomberg during the 30 days immediately prior to the first date upon which each warrant may be exercised. Such amendments to the warrants will become ineffective on February 27, 2008 if the Closing of the Merger has not yet occurred by the close of business on that date, unless the parties agree to extend such date.
 
Unless it waives such restriction, which waiver would be subject to a 65-day notice period, YA Global may not exercise the warrants for an amount of shares of JAG Media’s common stock that would result in it owning in excess

of 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of such common stock. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to its Capital Structure” for a description of the special risks posed by its issuance of the warrants.
 
ACQUISITION OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS
 
On November 24, 2004, JAG Media entered into a Business Sale Agreement with TComm Limited, a company organized in the United Kingdom, and Pixaya (UK) Limited (formerly known as TComm (UK) Limited), a company organized in the United Kingdom and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Effective October 3, 2005, TComm (UK) Limited formally changed its name to Pixaya (UK) Limited. The transactions contemplated by the Business Sale Agreement were consummated on November 24, 2004. Under the Business Sale Agreement, Pixaya purchased TComm Limited’s software development business which is focused on streaming video solutions and all of its assets related to that business. The business acquired has not generated any significant revenue and is currently inactive.
 
The one product line JAG Media continued to develop is SurvayaCam (previously known as CCMTV), which consists of software programs (and related hardware) intended to enable field personnel to send real-time video streams from the field to a central point where they can be viewed and archived, as well as to other locations where they can be viewed. JAG Media has attempted to market SurvayaCam through demonstrations and pilot program deployments of the product, but has not been successful.
 
The purchase price paid to TComm Limited consisted of (i) 250,000 shares of JAG Media’s common stock, having a value based on the closing price of its common stock as of the close of business on the day prior to the acquisition, equal to approximately $42,500 and (ii) the payment of approximately $19,200 in cash. In addition, TComm Limited has agreed not to compete with the business conducted by Pixaya for a period of two years from the closing date of the transaction. The Business Sale Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties. TComm Limited has agreed to indemnify Pixaya for any damages which may result from a breach of its warranties but only if the damages exceed approximately $20,000. TComm Limited entered into a lockup agreement with JAG Media pursuant to which it agreed not to sell or otherwise transfer its shares of common stock for a period of one year.
 
In connection with entering into the Business Sale Agreement, Pixaya entered into employment agreements on November 24, 2004 with four individuals, all of whom were previously employed by the TComm Limited. The employment agreements had a term of three years and automatically renew unless terminated by either party. Such employees are no longer employed by Pixaya.
 
STOCK DIVIDEND
 
On March 18, 2003, JAG Media announced its intention to declare a special stock dividend. To effect such dividend, JAG Media filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on April 11, 2003 which designated a new series of Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, which was distributed by dividend to the stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 14, 2003 in the ratio of one share of Series 2 Class B common stock for every 100 shares of common stock. Such shares of Series 2 Class B common stock are non-voting, have dividend and liquidation rights equal to the common stock and are redeemable, which redemption by JAG Media is mandatory to the fullest extent permitted by law within six months following final resolution of any related successor lawsuit to its now dismissed action in Texas federal court against various brokerage firms at a redemption price which is the greater of (a) par value or (b) ninety percent of the net proceeds to us of such lawsuit after payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection with such lawsuit and all taxes on net income accrued or paid with respect to such net amount. Although the original lawsuit has been dismissed with prejudice, JAG Media is investigating a successor or other lawsuit relating to the subject matter thereof which would qualify for the mandatory redemption provisions for this class of securities. The shares of Series 2 Class B common stock do not have a CUSIP number.
 
JAG Media’s transfer agent has completed the issuance and mailing of Series 2 Class B common stock dividend certificates to all registered beneficial shareholders and to all beneficial owners who appear on beneficial owner lists supplied by brokers which are consistent with their share position with the Depository Trust Company. Series 2 Class B common stock dividend certificates have not yet been mailed to certain beneficial owners because


89


Table of Contents

certain brokers have failed to submit a beneficial owner list to JAG Media’s transfer agent. The Merger will have no impact on the foregoing dividend payments.
 
RECAPITALIZATION
 
At the Annual Meeting on February 11, 2004, its stockholders approved, among other matters, a proposal to amend and restate Article Fourth of the Articles of Incorporation of JAG Media to:
 
(i) increase the aggregate authorized number of shares of all classes of stock from 200,000,000 to 300,440,000 of which (w) 250,000,000 shares shall be designated common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, (x) 400,000 shares shall be designated Series 2 Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, (y) 40,000 shares shall be designated Series 3 Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share and (z) 50,000,000 shares shall be designated preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share; and
 
(ii) reclassify each outstanding share of its existing Class A common stock and Series 1 Class B common stock into one share of common stock upon surrender of physical share certificates representing the existing Class A common stock and Series 1 Class B common stock for new common stock certificates.
 
The above-described recapitalization was effected on June 4, 2004 upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to JAG Media’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. As a result of the recapitalization, the old shares of Class A common stock and Series 1 Class B common stock only represent the right to receive the applicable number of shares of the new common stock. The holder of such old shares will not have the right to vote or to receive any dividends or other distributions until such old shares have been exchanged for the new common stock.
 
BOOK ENTRY SHARES PERMITTED
 
Our Articles of Incorporation as amended on June 4, 2004 required that the new “certificate only” shares must bear the name of the beneficial owner on the face of each stock certificate. As required by SEC regulation Rule 17Ad-20 which was adopted November 30, 2004 and became effective March 7, 2005, this requirement was deleted by a further amendment of our Articles of Incorporation at our shareholders meeting on February 24, 2005. Accordingly, our shares of Common Stock can now trade in certificate form or in book entry form through the Depository Trust Company.
 
INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES
 
At the 2006 Annual Stockholders Meeting held on April 26, 2006, our stockholders voted to increase the authorized shares of our common stock from 250,000,000 to 500,000,000.
 
DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF JAG MEDIA
 
The following is certain information about JAG Media’s executive officers and directors.
 
Thomas J. Mazzarisi, age 50, is Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel. Previously, Mr. Mazzarisi served as Executive Vice President and General Counsel from March 1999 to April 2, 2004 and as Chief Financial Officer from November 9, 2001 to April 2, 2004. Mr. Mazzarisi has been a member of the Board of Directors since July 1999. From 1997 until joining JAG Media Holdings, Inc., Mr. Mazzarisi practiced law from his own firm in New York, specializing in international commercial transactions. From 1988 until 1997, Mr. Mazzarisi was a Senior Associate at the former law firm of Coudert Brothers where he also specialized in international commercial transactions. Prior to joining Coudert Brothers, Mr. Mazzarisi was Deputy General Counsel of the New York Convention Center Development Corporation. Mr. Mazzarisi is a graduate of Fordham University where he received a B.A. in Political Economy and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Mr. Mazzarisi received his J.D. from Hofstra University School of Law.
 
Stephen J. Schoepfer, age 48 is President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. Previously, Mr. Schoepfer served as Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Secretary from July 1999 to April 2, 2004. Mr. Schoepfer has been a member of the Board of Directors since July 1999. Prior to joining


90


Table of Contents

the Company in July 1999, he was a Financial Advisor with the investment firm of Legg Mason Wood Walker. Prior to joining Legg Mason, Mr. Schoepfer served as a Financial Advisor and Training Coordinator at Prudential Securities. Mr. Schoepfer attended Wagner College.
 
The Board of Directors of JAG Media is comprised of only two directors — Messrs. Mazzarisi and Schoepfer — neither of whom is independent. For that reason, JAG Media does not have a standing audit, nominating or compensation committee made up of independent directors. In light of JAG Media’s limited revenues and operations, the Board of Directors does not believe it would be cost effective to establish such committees. Transactions with related persons must be approved by the Board of Directors.

MARKET FOR JAG MEDIA COMMON STOCK
AND RELATED MATTERS
 
PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK
 
On April 8, 2002, JAG Media effected a recapitalization of its then outstanding common stock pursuant to which each one and one-tenth (1.1) shares of its outstanding common stock was reclassified into one (1) share of Class A Common Stock and one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Series 1 Class B Common Stock. A public trading market for such Series 1 Class B Common Stock never developed.
 
On June 4, 2004, JAG Media effected a second recapitalization pursuant to which each share of its outstanding Class A Common Stock and Series 1 Class B Common Stock was reclassified into one (1) share of new JAG Media Common Stock.
 
For the period covered below, JAG Media’s Common Stock traded in the over-the-counter market on the Bulletin Board or on the Pink Sheets under the symbol “JAGH.” The following table based on Bloomberg L.P. reflects quarterly high and low bid prices of its Class A Common Stock and JAG Media Common Stock from August 1, 2004 through January 31, 2008.

JAG Media has never paid any cash dividends on JAG Media Common Stock and anticipates that for the foreseeable future, no cash dividends will be paid on JAG Media Common Stock whether or not the Merger is

Table of Contents

consummated. Payment of future cash dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors of JAG Media upon conditions then existing, including JAG Media’s financial condition, capital requirements, cash flow, profitability, business outlook and other factors. In addition, JAG Media’s future credit arrangements may restrict the payment of dividends. The Cryptometrics Common Stock is not traded on any recognized securities market.
 
JAG MEDIA COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
The elements of compensation paid to our executive officers consists of annual salary provided for under employment agreements and options granted under our 1999 Long Term Incentive Plan. In addition, the employment agreements with our executive officers provide for severance payments and the grant of options upon a change of control. We do not have an independent compensation committee of the Board of Directors.
 
No compensation other than annual salaries of $150,000 was paid to the executive officers with respect to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007. The Board of Directors believed that the base salary, outstanding options, and potential severance and change of control payments were sufficient compensation to retain our executive officers and provide meaningful incentives to effect our strategy and to pursue and complete acquisitions. This conclusion was not based upon the directors’ evaluation of their own performance as executive officers. The directors did consider our cash position and the fact that given our outstanding commitments for additional issuances of JAG Media Common Stock, including those under the Merger Agreement and other commitments, it would be inappropriate to make additional cash or equity awards to themselves as executive officers. We did not reprice any stock options held by our executive officers during our fiscal year ended July 31, 2007. We do not maintain a deferred compensation plan. Nor do we provide pension benefits.
 
1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan
 
In October, 1999 the Board of Directors approved the 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan. This plan was most recently amended in April 2002. The purpose of the plan is to allow JAG Media to attract and retain officers, employees, directors, consultants and certain other individuals and to compensate them in a way that provides additional incentives and enables such individuals to increase their ownership interests in JAG Media. Individual awards under the plan may take the form of:
 
  •  either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options;
 
  •  stock appreciation rights;
 
  •  restricted or deferred stock;
 
  •  dividend equivalents;
 
  •  bonus shares and awards in lieu of JAG Media’s obligations to pay cash compensation; and
 
  •  other awards, the value of which is based in whole or in part upon the value of the Common Stock.
 
The plan will generally be administered by a committee appointed by the board of directors, except that the board will itself perform the committee’s functions under the plan for purposes of grants of awards to directors who serve on the committee. The board may also perform any other function of the committee and is currently serving as the committee. The committee generally is empowered to select the individuals who will receive awards and the terms and conditions of those awards, including exercise prices for options and other exercisable awards, vesting and forfeiture conditions, performance conditions, the extent to which awards may be transferable and periods during which awards will remain outstanding. Awards may be settled in cash, shares, other awards or other property, as the committee may determine.
 
The maximum number of shares that may be subject to outstanding awards under the plan will not exceed 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of January 31, 2008, there were a total of 750,000 shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options granted under the plan. These options are exercisable at $0.02 per share.
 
The plan will remain in effect until terminated by the board of directors. The plan may be amended by the board of directors without the consent of JAG Media’s stockholders, except that any amendment, although effective


93


Table of Contents

when made, will be subject to stockholder approval if required by any Federal or state law or regulation or by the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which JAG Media’s Common Stock may then be listed or quoted. The number of shares reserved or deliverable under the plan, the annual per-participant limits, the number of shares subject to options automatically granted to non-employee directors, and the number of shares subject to outstanding awards are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and other extraordinary corporate events. JAG Media generally will be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the amount of compensation realized by a participant through awards under the plan, except no deduction is permitted in connection with incentive stock options if the participant holds the shares acquired upon exercise for the required holding periods; and deductions for some awards could be limited under the $1.0 million deductibility cap of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. This limitation, however, should not apply to certain options, stock appreciation rights and performance-based awards granted thereafter if JAG Media complies with certain requirements under Section 162(m).
 
Mazzarisi and Schoepfer Employment Agreements
 
On August 31, 2001, JAG Media entered into amended and restated three-year employment agreements with each of Stephen J. Schoepfer (JAG Media’s President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary) and Thomas J. Mazzarisi (JAG Media’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel). On November 3, 2005, certain of the provisions of the amended and restated employment agreements were amended. Each of these employment agreements now expires on August 31, 2008 and provides for an annual base salary of $150,000.
 
The executives are to be granted an option to purchase a 5% ownership interest in any subsidiary that JAG Media successfully creates and spins off during the term of their employment contracts.
 
Pursuant to these employment agreements, each of the above named executives is entitled to the same medical and other benefits, including health and life insurance coverage, as are provided to other employees of JAG Media. In the event JAG Media terminates the employment of any of such executives without cause or such executive resigns for good reason as defined in the employment agreements, such executive shall be entitled to receive (i) continued medical and life insurance coverage for a period equal to the greater of one year or the number of years and fractions thereof between the date of such termination and the end of the term (the Severance Period), (ii) a lump sum cash payment equal to the executive’s highest rate of annual salary in effect during the term multiplied by the Severance Period, (iii) a lump sum cash payment equal to the number of accrued and unused vacation days calculated at the executive’s then current salary rate and (iv) accelerated vesting of all of the executive’s outstanding stock options. Such cash payments will be made within 10 days of termination of employment, and shall not be subject to offset for amounts earned by the executive in respect of any subsequent employment, nor is the executive required to seek any such subsequent employment.
 
Further, immediately prior to a “change in control” (as defined in JAG Media’s Long-Term Incentive Plan) of JAG Media, the above-named executives shall also be granted an option to acquire 1,000,000 shares of JAG Media’s Common Stock (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, etc.) at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the average closing bid price of the Company’s stock for the 30 days prior to such change in control, which option shall be fully vested and immediately exercisable in full and expire on a date which is the earlier of ten years from such change in control and three years after termination of employment. The Merger constitutes a change of control for purposes of Messrs. Mazzarisi’s and Schoepfer’s employment agreements. Generally, under JAG Media’s Long-Term Incentive Plan a “change in control” shall be deemed to have occurred (i) if there is an acquisition of 30% or more of JAG Media’s then outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) Messrs. Mazzarisi and Schoepfer cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members of JAG Media’s Board, or (iii) a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reorganization, sale or disposition of all or a substantial portion of JAG Media’s assets, or similar transaction shall have occurred. However, a change in control shall not be deemed to have occurred if consummation of such a transaction would result in at least 70% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of JAG Media outstanding immediately after such transaction being beneficially owned by at least 75% of the holders of outstanding voting securities of JAG Media immediately prior to the transaction, with the voting power of each such continuing holder relative to other such continuing holders not substantially altered in the transaction.

Table of Contents

 
In lieu of options previously granted which were cancelled, JAG Media granted on August 31, 2001 to each of Messrs. Mazzarisi and Schoepfer options to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of JAG Media’s Common Stock exercisable at a price per share of $0.02, all of which vested immediately upon the execution of the amended and restated agreements. These options, which have been partially exercised, are subject to the terms of JAG Media’s 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, and may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the executives on a cashless basis.
 
Promptly after the Effective Time, JAG Media will amend the employment agreements of Messrs. Mazzarisi and Schoepfer to, among other things, cancel all previous options granted to each of Messrs. Mazzarisi and Schoepfer and to reduce the number of options granted to each of Messrs. Mazzarisi and Schoepfer upon a change in control from 1,000,000 to 750,000, which options shall be exercisable immediately on a cashless basis, with one half of such shares being subject to a lock up period of one year from the date of the closing of the Merger. JAG Media will assign the employment agreements to its subsidiary, Pixaya LLC and Messrs. Mazzarisi and Schoepfer will release JAG Media from all liability thereunder (including salary payments) except that JAG Media will remain contractually obligated to carry out its obligations to fulfill any exercise of options remaining under the employment agreements granted in connection with the change in control. Pixaya LLC will then terminate the employment of Messrs. Mazzarisi and Schoepfer under the employment agreements without cause.

(1) The maximum number of shares that may be subject to outstanding awards under JAG Media’s 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan is 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Because this limitation applies only to outstanding awards under the plan, as the outstanding options included in column (a) are either exercised, forfeited or expire pursuant to their terms, the number of shares remaining available for future issuance in column (c) shall be increased by the number of shares subject to such option so exercised, forfeited or expired.
 
(2) See Note 6 to Financial Statements.
 
Its 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan provides JAG Media’s directors, officers, employees and consultants with the opportunity to participate in its ownership. JAG Media’s Board of Directors administers the plan, addressing participation, the awards offered and any applicable conditions of exercise. In making these determinations, JAG Media’s Board of Directors will generally consider the participant’s position and record of service to it. The Board of Directors may issue options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, bonus stock, awards in lieu of cash obligations, dividend equivalents and other stock based awards, all subject to terms and conditions to be set by the Board of Directors. The plan also contains standard provisions dealing with matters such as adjustment of the number of shares subject to options and covered by the plan in addition to amendment and termination of the plan.
 
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
 
JAG Media’s Articles of Incorporation provide that JAG Media shall indemnify JAG Media’s officers, directors, employees and agents to the full extent permitted by Nevada law. JAG Media’s Bylaws include provisions to indemnify JAG Media’s officers and directors and other persons against expenses (including judgments, fines and amounts paid for settlement) incurred in connection with actions or proceedings brought against them by reason of their serving or having served as officers, directors or in other capacities. JAG Media does not, however, indemnify them in actions in which it is determined that they have not acted in good faith or have acted unlawfully or not in JAG Media’s best interest. In the case of an action brought by or in the right of JAG Media, JAG Media shall


96


Table of Contents

indemnify them only to the extent of expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with the defense or settlement of these actions and JAG Media shall not indemnify them in connection with any matter as to which they have been found to be liable to JAG Media, unless the deciding court determines that, notwithstanding such liability, that person is fairly entitled to indemnity in light of all the relevant circumstances.
 
JAG Media does not currently maintain director’s and officer’s liability insurance but it may do so in the future.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to JAG Media’s directors and officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, JAG Media has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
FACILITIES
 
JAG Media’s executive and administrative headquarters are currently located at 6865 SW 18th Street, Suite B13, in Boca Raton, Florida. JAG Media rents this space at a cost of $1,250 per month. The servers for JAG Media’s websites are housed at separate locations as indicated above (see “Website Technical Information”). JAG Media believes that it will be able to locate suitable new office space and obtain a suitable replacement for its Florida office space, if the lease is not renewed on commercially reasonable terms.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
On June 20, 2002, JAG Media and its President and Chief Executive Officer, Gary Valinoti, filed a complaint in the 165th District Court of Harris County, Texas against over 150 brokerage firms, alleging, among other things, a conspiracy among the defendants to short sell JAG Media stock. The original lawsuit was subsequently amended on June 24, 2002 and was removed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. The plaintiffs subsequently filed a motion in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas to have the action remanded back to the state court where it was originally commenced. That motion was denied and the action proceeded in the federal district court. On October 1, 2003, the Court denied various motions to dismiss made on behalf of the defendants. However, in its ruling, the Court indicated that all motions to dismiss could have been granted in light of the defective pleadings made by plaintiffs and allowed plaintiffs 20 days to file an amended complaint to comply with certain pleading requirements of the Court. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint within the required period. Discovery was stayed while the motions to dismiss were pending.
 
After plaintiffs filed their third amended complaint, 78 out of the total of approximately 150 defendants again filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. On September 6, 2004, the Court entered an order granting the moving defendants’ motion to dismiss the lawsuit, again citing various deficiencies in the pleadings. The Court did not grant the plaintiffs leave to replead.
 
The plaintiffs and the moving defendants have since stipulated to the entry of a final judgment dismissing the third amended complaint against the moving defendants with prejudice. Under this stipulation, the parties agreed on entry of final judgment to (a) waive their right to attorneys fees or seek sanctions and bear their own costs and (b) not appeal the judgment.
 
On December 3, 2004, JAG Media announced that its original counsel had assigned its legal retainer agreement in connection with the lawsuit to a legal consortium consisting of various law firms and other consultants throughout the country, which includes JAG Media’s original counsel. JAG Media has met with its new attorneys and continues to evaluate with them its options for recommencing an action against certain defendants and possibly other parties in light of the court’s order.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS OF
JAG MEDIA FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2007, 2006 AND 2005
AND THE THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2007 AND 2006.
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that appear elsewhere in this Consent Solicitation/Prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this Consent Solicitation/Prospectus particularly in “Risk Factors.” “We” and “our” as used in this Management Discussion and Analysis section refers to JAG Media.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, equipment, stock-based compensation, income taxes, derivative liability and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
As required, effective August 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”) using the modified prospective application transition method. Because the fair value recognition and the amortization provisions of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 123(R) are materially consistent, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) did not have a significant impact on the methods we used to value and account for our options or our financial position and results of operations and, accordingly, charges to compensation cost for the fair value of the options continue to be amortized to expense over the vesting period. In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), we reclassified previously unamortized unearned compensation of $34,870 from unearned compensation to additional paid-in capital as of the date of adoption. There was no charge to operations. Through July 31, 2006, we recognized the cost of grants of options to employees and non-employees based on the fair value of the equity instruments at the date issued amortized over the periods in which the related services were rendered in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Accordingly, we had been estimating the fair value of stock options using an option-pricing model (generally, the Black-Scholes model) that meets the criteria set forth in SFAS 123 and common stock using its market value. We have been recording such value through charges to compensation cost and corresponding credits to equity. The charges to compensation cost are being amortized to expense over the vesting period.
 
We review the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments we issue to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, we may issue freestanding warrants and options that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.
 
Bifurcated embedded derivatives and freestanding warrants and options accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. When the convertible debt or equity instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments to be accounted for as derivative liabilities. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible


98


Table of Contents

instruments themselves. This usually results in those convertible instruments being recorded at a discount from their face amount to reflect beneficial conversion prices that are, effectively, below market value.
 
The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, using the effective interest method. Since the conversion of the secured convertible debentures issued by us during the year ended July 31, 2006 could have been at a discount from the market price and, accordingly, could have resulted in the issuance of an indeterminable number of common shares, we determined that we would be prohibited from concluding that it would have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares to net -share settle any of those warrants or any other warrants or options previously issued or granted to non-employees. Therefore, as of the date the secured convertible debentures and the related warrants were issued, we recorded the related fair value of all warrants issued with the debentures and options previously issued to non-employees as a liability. Accordingly, subsequent changes in the fair value of such options and warrants at the end of each reporting period have been and will be recorded as charges or credits to our results of operations.
 
Due to uncertainties related to, among other things, the extent and timing of future taxable income, we have recorded a full valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets.

Revenues:
 
Revenues consist of sales of the streaming video products and subscription revenues from annual, semi-annual, quarterly and monthly subscriptions relating to our product “JAGNotes.” JAGNotes is a daily consolidated investment report that summarizes newly issued research, analyst opinions, upgrades, downgrades, and analyst coverage changes from various investment banks and brokerage houses. Revenues increased modestly for the year ended July 31, 2007 versus the year ended July 31, 2006 due to the sales of our streaming video products. Revenues from streaming video products were approximately $26,000 for the year ended July 31, 2007 versus none for the year ended July 31, 2006. The sale of the streaming video product was promotional in nature and designed to create a distribution channel and create interest in the product. Revenues from subscriptions were approximately $177,000 for the year ended July 31, 2007 versus approximately $167,000 for the year ended July 31, 2006.
 
Revenues from subscriptions have decreased since the year ended July 31, 2005 due primarily to the lack of advertising and increased competition
 
Cost of revenues:
 
Cost of revenues includes the cost to transmit the product over the telephone and fax lines, on-line service charges for our web site, costs in connection with the development and maintenance of the web site, and payments to commentators and employees for their reports that are posted on our web site.
 
During the year ended July 31, 2007, consulting fees were approximately $31,000 as compared to approximately $61,000 for the year ended July 31, 2006 and $113,300 for the year ended July 31, 2005. Such fees included non-cash charges associated with the amortization of unearned compensation arising from the issuance of shares in exchange for services of approximately $13,000, $12,000 and $35,000 for the years ended July 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease in consulting fees is a result of the expiration of consulting contracts associated with commentators for our jagnotes.com website. Costs associated with the transmission of our product over telephone and fax lines and costs associated with the maintenance of our web site have decreased. Costs of streaming video products sold were approximately $24,000 for the year ended July 31, 2007. There were no costs of streaming video products sold during the years ended July 31, 2006 or 2005.
 
Net losses:
 
The net loss during the year ended July 31, 2007 includes a loss on the change in value of derivative liability of approximately $8,525,000 which arises from the issuance of warrants for the purchase of common stock , although we may not be able to net settle the exercise of warrants for stock. The loss arises from the increase in our stock price as of July 31, 2007 over our stock price as of July 31, 2006.
 
The net loss during the year ended July 31, 2006 includes a gain on the change in value of derivative liability of approximately $1,094,000 which arises from the issuance of warrants for the purchase of common stock, although we may not be able to net settle the exercise of warrants for stock. The loss arises from the decrease in our stock price as of July 31, 2006 from our stock price as of May 24, 2006, the date on which the warrants were issued.
 
Selling expenses:
 
Selling expenses consist primarily of advertising and other promotional expenses. The increase results primarily from new sales and marketing expenses of Pixaya, our United Kingdom subsidiary. Such fees included $24,000 of non-cash amortization of options issued to a consultant for 200,000 shares of common stock with a fair market value of $36,000 in exchange for services during the year ended July 31, 2007. There were no such fees during the years ended July 31, 2006 and 2005.
 
General and administrative expenses:
 
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits for the officers, other compensation, which, for the year ended July 31, 2007 includes non cash charges for the issuance of 180,000 shares of our common stock with an aggregate fair value of $62,200 to certain employees, occupancy costs, professional fees and other office expenses. General and administrative expenses during the year ended July 31, 2006 include a

legal settlement of $250,000 and a decrease in legal and accounting costs associated with a proposed acquisition during the year ended July 31, 2007 versus the year ended July 31, 2006.
 
We have entered into a merger agreement with, among others, Cryptometrics, Inc. pursuant to which Cryptometrics would merge with a newly created subsidiary of ours. During the year ended July 31, 2007, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Cryptometrics has paid various legal and accounting costs, totaling approximately $580,000 on our behalf, of which approximately $543,000 are related to the merger agreement and approximately $37,000 are related to our operations, that we will not have to be repay to Cryptometrics in the event that the merger is not successfully completed. The costs paid by Cryptomertrics have been charged to general and administrative expenses and the amounts we received have been recorded as a capital contribution and included in additional paid-in capital.
 
(Loss) gain on change in value of derivative liability:
 
The loss on derivative liability for the year ended July 31, 2007 reflects the effect of the increase in the fair market value of our common stock and the resulting increase as of July 31, 2007 in the fair value of outstanding warrants issued in excess of debt proceeds. As of July 31, 2007, the fair market value of the warrants was approximately $11,059,000 while as of July 31, 2006, the fair market value of those warrants was approximately $2,744,000, resulting in a loss of approximately $8,315,000 for the year ended July 31, 2007. As of July 31, 2007 there were no outstanding options issued to non-employees. At July 31, 2006 the fair market value of non-employee options then outstanding was approximately $46,000. On October 2, 2006, the fair market value of additional options then issued to a non-employee was approximately $36,000. On February 21, 2007, a consultant exercised options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $0.02 per share and on June 11, 2007 a consultant exercised options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $0.05 per share resulting in the reclassification of $292,000 from the derivative liability relating to these options to equity for the year ended July 31, 2007.
 
The gain on derivative liability for the year ended July 31, 2006 reflects the effect of the decrease in the fair market value of our common stock and the resulting decrease as of July 31, 2006 in the excess of the fair value of the value of the warrants issued in excess of debt proceeds and options issued to non-employees as compensation. As of July 31, 2006, the fair market value of those warrants was approximately $2,744,000. The fair market value of options issued to non-employees on July 31, 2006 was approximately $46,000 while at May 25, 2006 the fair market value of these options when issued was approximately $64,000.
 
Loss on extinguishment of promissory note:
 
On May 25, 2006, when we terminated our Equity Line with YA Global Investments, L.P. (“YA Global”) (formerly known as Cornell Capital Partners, L.P.), we also converted $250,000 of the principal of our $2,000,000 promissory note payable to YA Global into 1,250,000 shares of our common stock which were issued on such date, and converted the remaining principal amount of $1,750,000 and accrued interest of $150,000 on the promissory note into a secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $1,900,000. At the date of conversion there was $31,674 of unamortized discount remaining from the issuance of the $2,000,000 promissory note and upon conversion, the common stock issued had a fair market value of $400,000 in settlement of the $250,000 principal and additional unpaid interest of $104,301, we therefore incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $77,373.
 
Finance charge for derivative liability in excess of proceeds from convertible debentures:
 
In connection with our sale of convertible debentures, on May 25, 2006, we issued warrants to purchase 12,000,000 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.80 expiring in May 2011 with a fair market value of $3,820,005 based on the Black-Scholes options pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 6% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility of 335.722%, exercise prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.80, and the stock price of $0.32 when issued in connection with convertible debt proceeds of $2,025,000 as further discussed below. The finance charge for derivative liability of $1,795,000 represents the excess of the fair market value of the warrants over the debt proceeds.

Interest expense:
 
Interest expense increased approximately $1,016,000 for the year ended July 31, 2007 over the year ended July 31, 2006 due to the increased borrowings under our secured convertible debentures payable to YA Global which were outstanding for only two months of fiscal 2006.
 
During the year ended July 31, 2007 interest totaling approximately $1,530,000 is comprised primarily of interest on our secured convertible debentures and interest from amortization of debt discount. Interest of approximately $366,000 was incurred as interest charged at 10% per annum on our convertible debentures.
 
During the year ended July 31, 2007 interest expense of approximately $1,135,000 was incurred from the amortization of debt discount related to the $2,250,000 convertible debentures issued May 25, 2006 and May 31, 2006.
 
During the year ended July 31, 2006 interest totaling approximately $514,000 is comprised of interest on our promissory note and secured convertible debentures, interest from amortization of debt discount, and interest incurred upon conversion of our promissory note to shares of common stock.
 
During the year ended July 31, 2006 interest on the note and the debentures of approximately $271,000 was incurred as approximately $196,000 of interest charged at 12% per annum on the $2,000,000 promissory note payable to YA Global for the period from August 1, 2005 through May 25, 2006 when we converted our note as described above and approximately $75,000 of interest charged at 10% per annum on the $1,900,000 convertible debenture issued May 25, 2006 as described above, and new convertible debentures totaling $2,250,000 issued May 25, 2006 and May 31, 2006 as described below.
 
During the year ended July 31, 2006 interest arising from the amortization of debt discount of approximately $168,000 is composed of approximately $41,000 of previously unamortized debt discount remaining from costs incurred in obtaining the $2,000,000 financing from YA Global under our promissory note and approximately $127,000 to amortize debt discount related to the new convertible debentures totaling $2,250,000.
 
Interest expense increased approximately $368,000 for the year ended July 31, 2006 over the year ended July 31, 2005 due principally to our $2,000,000 promissory note being outstanding for only about six months of fiscal 2005. Dring the year ended July 31, 2005 interest totaling approximately $145,500 is comprised of approximately $118,400 of interest charged at 12% per annum on the $2,000,000 promissory note from YA Global for the six month period the debt was in place and approximately $27,100 of amortization of debt discount related to costs incurred and deducted from the promissory note.

Revenues:
 
Revenues consist of subscription revenues from annual, semi-annual, quarterly and monthly subscriptions relating to our product “JAGNotes.” JAGNotes is a daily consolidated investment report that summarizes newly issued research, analyst opinions, upgrades, downgrades, and analyst coverage changes from various investment banks and brokerage houses. Revenues decreased for the three months ended October 31, 2007 versus the three months ended October 31, 2006 due to the lack of advertising and increased competition.
 
Cost of revenues:
 
Cost of revenues includes the cost to transmit the product over the telephone and fax lines, on-line service charges for our web site, and costs in connection with the development and maintenance of the web site.
 
During the three months ended October 31, 2007, there were no consulting fees as compared to approximately $12,350 for the three months ended October 31, 2006. Such fees included non-cash charges associated with the amortization of unearned compensation arising from the issuance of shares in exchange for services of approximately $3,250 for the three months ended October 31, 2006. The decrease in consulting fees is a result of the expiration of consulting contracts associated with commentators for our jagnotes.com website. In addition, costs associated with the transmission of our product over telephone and fax line and costs associated with the maintenance of our web site declined.
 
Selling expenses:
 
Selling expenses consist primarily of advertising and other promotional expenses. The decrease results primarily from suspension of new sales and marketing expenses of Pixaya, our United Kingdom subsidiary. Such fees included $2,400 of non-cash amortization of options issued to a consultant for 200,000 shares of common stock with a fair market value of $36,000 in exchange for services during the three months ended October 31, 2006.
 
General and administrative expenses:
 
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits for the officers, other compensation, which includes non cash charges for the issuance of 40,000 shares of our common stock with an aggregate fair value of $25,600 to certain employees, occupancy costs, professional fees and other office expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses is attributable to an accrual for payroll taxes of approximately $45,000, and an increase in legal and accounting costs associated with a proposed acquisition during the three months ended October 31, 2007 versus the three months ended October 31, 2006.
 
Gain on change in value of derivative liability:
 
The gain on derivative liability reflects the effect of the decrease in the fair market value of our common stock. As of October 31, 2007, the fair market value of the warrants was approximately $9,069,000 while as of July 31, 2007, the fair market value of those warrants was approximately $11,059,000, resulting in a gain of approximately $1,989,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2007. There were no options issued to non-employees at October 31, 2007 or July 31, 2007. The fair market value of options issued to non-employees at October 31, 2006 was approximately $82,000 while at July 31, 2006 the fair market value of options then outstanding was approximately $46,000 and at October 2, 2006, the fair market value of options issued to a non-employee was approximately $36,000, resulting in a gain of approximately $2,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2006.
 
Interest expense:
 
The decrease in interest expense of approximately $278,000 arises from a decrease in borrowings under our promissory note and secured convertible debentures payable to YA Global and conversions of principal balances of our convertible debentures into shares of our common stock.

Acquisition of Software Development Business:
 
On November 24, 2004, we and Pixaya (UK), our newly organized subsidiary, entered into a Business Sale Agreement with TComm Limited, a company organized in the United Kingdom. We entered into the transaction to access the seller’s development stage software, which we believed offered a new platform for delivery of our services as well as being valuable in its own right.
 
The transactions contemplated by the Business Sale Agreement were consummated on November 24, 2004. Under the Business Sale Agreement, Pixaya purchased the seller’s software development business, which is focused on streaming video solutions, and all of its assets related to that business. The business acquired had not generated any significant revenue as of the date of the acquisition or through October 31, 2007.
 
The acquired product lines we originally intended to continue to develop included: (1) Pixaya Mobile (previously known as TComm TV), which was intended to deliver on-demand video/audio clips to various java-based and Symbian-based mobile phones and (2) SurvayaCam (previously known as CCMTV), which is currently under development and will consist of software programs (and related hardware) intended to enable field personnel to send real-time video streams from the field to a central point where they can be viewed by one or more persons. During the year ended July 31, 2006, we discontinued development of Pixaya Mobile. We are unable to estimate the amount of resources that will be required to complete the development of the SurvayaCam product line. Due to lack of financing, Pixaya (UK) is currently inactive.
 
The purchase price paid to TComm Limited consisted of (i) 250,000 shares of our common stock, having a value based on the closing price of our common stock as of the close of business on the day prior to the acquisition, equal to approximately $42,500 and (ii) the payment of approximately $19,000 in cash. The purchase price was allocated to the fair value of assets as follows:
 
         
Equipment
  $ 11,000  
Other Assets
    100  
Goodwill
    50,400  
         
Total
  $ 61,500  
         
 
As of January 31, 2005, management tested the goodwill for impairment and concluded that it had been impaired. Therefore, we had recognized a charge of $50,400 for the write-off of goodwill in the year ended July 31, 2005.
 
In addition, TComm Limited agreed not to compete with the business conducted by Pixaya for a period of two years from the closing date of the transaction. The Business Sale Agreement also contained customary representations and warranties. TComm Limited had agreed to indemnify Pixaya for any damages which may result from a breach of its warranties but only if the damages exceed approximately $20,000. TComm Limited had entered into a lockup agreement with us pursuant to which it had agreed not to sell or otherwise transfer its shares of our common stock for a period of one year.
 
In connection with entering into the Business Sale Agreement, Pixaya entered into employment agreements on November 24, 2004 with four individuals, all of whom were previously employed by TComm Limited. All of such employment agreements have been terminated.
 
Pursuant to the employment agreements, we granted options to purchase 220,000 shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $.50 — $1.00 as additional compensation for services to be rendered under such contracts. The aggregate estimated fair value of the options at the date of issuance of $51,200 is being recognized over the term of the employment agreements.
 
Pixaya had no significant revenues from its inception in November 2004 through October 31, 2007.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
 
We only generated revenues of approximately $203,000, $167,000, $240,000 and $37,000 and we incurred net losses of approximately $11,775,000, $3,637,000, $1,889,000 and $412,000 and negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $449,000, $2,194,000, $1,524,000 and $261,000 for the years ended July 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 and the three months ended October 31, 2007, respectively. As of October 31, 2007, we had a


104


Table of Contents

working capital deficiency of approximately $9,550,000. As a result, we believe there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph to emphasize such doubt in their report on the audit of our financial statements for the years ended July 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 included in this Consent Solicitation/Prospectus.
 
We believe that, in the absence of a substantial increase in subscription revenues or sales of our streaming video products, it is probable that the we will continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operating activities through at least October 31, 2008 and that we will need to obtain additional equity or debt financing to sustain our operations until we can market our services, expand our customer base and achieve profitability or effect a merger.
 
We believe that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing, directly, for example, possibly from YA Global, or find an appropriate merger candidate that has such financing to enable us to continue as a going concern through at least March 31, 2009. However, if we cannot obtain sufficient additional financing by that date, we may be forced to restructure our operations, file for bankruptcy or entirely cease our operations. We believe that a merger with Cryptometrics will provide sufficient cash and additional resources for us to continue as a going concern.
 
We have entered into a merger agreement with, among others, Cryptometrics, Inc. pursuant to which Cryptometrics would merge with a newly created subsidiary of ours. As part of the proposed merger, Cryptometrics has paid various legal and accounting costs related to the merger agreement on our behalf. The payments, totaling approximately $810,000 through October 31, 2007, will not be repaid by us to Cryptometrics in the event that the merger is not successfully completed. The payments have been charged to operating expenses and recorded as a contribution to additional paid-in capital. Each of Cryptometrics and JAG media has agreed to pay its own future expenses.
 
Other Equity Transactions
 
On April 9, 2002, we entered into an agreement with an investment partnership, YA Global, pursuant to which we had, in effect, “put” options whereby, subject to certain conditions, we were able to require the YA Global to purchase shares of our common stock from time to time at prices based on the market value of our shares at an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000. The equity line became available on August 28, 2002 and was extended in July 2004 for an additional 24 months through August 2006 unless it was terminated earlier by us in our sole discretion. As of May 25, 2006 the Equity Line was effectively cancelled.
 
The purchase price was 95% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock over a specified number of trading days commencing on specified dates. YA Global was entitled to a cash fee equal to 5% of the gross proceeds received by us from YA Global in connection with each put. We had issued 10,000 shares of our common stock to a placement agent as of the effective date as consideration for their services in connection with the Equity Line Purchase Agreement.
 
As of May 25, 2006, the date the Equity Line was effectively cancelled, we had received gross proceeds of $4,035,000 from the exercise of put options.
 
On January 25, 2005, we entered into a Promissory Note Agreement with YA Global for a loan of $2,000,000. The $2,000,000 loan from YA Global was funded on February 2, 2005 net of a debt discount of $100,000 deducted at the time of funding which was being amortized over the original term of the loan. The unamortized debt discount was $31,674 as of May 25, 2006 when the promissory note was converted into common stock and a secured convertible debenture. On August 5, 2005, we and YA Global agreed, as permitted under the promissory note to extend for three months the date by which we must pay all amounts due under the promissory note. The face amount of the promissory note (as amended) and interest on the amount from time to time outstanding at a rate of 12% per year was payable either (i) out of the net proceeds to be received by us upon delivery of put notices under the Equity Line Agreement or (ii) in full by us within 753 calendar days of January 25, 2005 regardless of the availability of proceeds under the Equity Line Agreement, unless an extension were mutually agreed to by the parties in writing.
 
Pursuant to the promissory note, we agreed to deposit in escrow 35 put notices under the Equity Line Agreement in an amount of $60,000 each and one request for a put under the Equity Line Agreement in an amount of $181,017. Under the terms of the promissory note (as extended), the put notices were to have been held in escrow and released every fourteen (14) days commencing November 4, 2005.

Upon an event of default (as defined in the promissory note), the entire principal balance and accrued interest of the promissory note, and all of other obligations of our Company under the promissory note, would become immediately due and payable without any action on the part of YA Global.
 
All put notices were canceled and returned to us on May 25, 2006, when we terminated the Equity Line Agreement with YA Global, converted $250,000 of the principal of its $2,000,000 Promissory Note payable to YA Global into 1,250,000 shares of our common stock which were issued on such date for which the fair value was $400,000, and converted the remaining principal amount of $1,750,000 and accrued interest of $150,000 on the promissory note into a secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $1,900,000. As the cash flows of the new debentures are substantially different from those of the promissory notes, the restructuring qualified as an extinguishment for financial accounting purposes. Accordingly, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of $77,373 during the year ended July 31, 2006 (representing the fair value of the shares in excess of the principal converted plus $31,674 of debt discount written off less $104,301 of accrued interest forgiven). In addition, we issued similar secured convertible debentures to YA Global in the principal amounts of $1,250,000 on May 25, 2006 and $1,000,000 on May 31, 2006, which provided us with net proceeds of approximately $2,025,000 after fees and costs which were recorded as part of the debt discount on the debentures. All the secured convertible debentures bore interest at the rate of 10% per year and were scheduled to mature three years after issuance. They were convertible through maturity into shares of our common stock as provided in the debentures. All of the debentures have been converted as of January 31, 2008.
 
We were required to issue irrevocable transfer agent instructions relating to the issuance of stock certificates on conversion of the debentures or exercise of the warrants. We were also required to deliver on behalf of ourselves and our subsidiary, Pixaya LLC (formerly JAG Media LLC), security agreements executed by us and our subsidiary, Pixaya LLC, granting YA Global a security interest in all their respective assets. We and our subsidiary can not incur any further liens, declare a dividend, issue any guarantees or incur any new indebtedness in excess of $25,000 other than trade accounts payable. The security agreements terminate once a registration statement covering shares of common stock issuable upon conversion has been effective for 60 days. At such time, the security interest will automatically terminate provided our common stock is trading on the OTC Bulletin Board at a price above $0.08 per share and there has occurred no event of default under the convertible debentures. The security interest was terminated by YA Global as of January 31, 2008.
 
YA Global had the right to convert the debentures, at its sole option, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price which was the lower of (i) $0.40 per share or (ii) a 10% discount to the lowest volume weighted average price, as reported by Bloomberg LP, of our common stock during the 30 trading days prior to the conversion date.
 
As of July 31, 2006, the debentures were carried at approximately $2,027,000 reflecting the outstanding principal balance due on the notes of $4,075,000 reduced by debt discounts aggregating $2,048,000 after amortization. As of July 31, 2007 the debentures are carried at approximately $2,607,000, reflecting the outstanding principal balance due on the notes of $3,520,000 reduced by debt discounts aggregating approximately $913,000. As of October 31, 2007, the debentures had a net carrying value of approximately $1,132,000, reflecting the remaining outstanding principal balance due of $1,920,000 reduced by remaining unamortized debt discounts aggregating approximately $788,000.
 
In connection with the foregoing May 25, 2006 transaction, we issued warrants to YA Global to purchase 12,000,000 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable through May 2011 at prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.80 per share. The exercise price and number of shares issuable to each of the warrants are subject to anti-dilution provisions. A warrant was exercised to the extent of 700,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.40 per share on January 31, 2008.
 
Since the conversion of the secured convertible debentures and the related warrants could result in the issuance of an indeterminable number of common shares since they are convertible at a discount from the market price, we determined that based on the guidance in the consensus for Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-19 (“EITF 00-19”) “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock”, we were prohibited from concluding that we will have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares to net-share settle any of those warrants or any other warrants or options previously issued or granted to non-employees.

As of May 25, 2006, the warrants for the purchase of 12,000,000 shares were valued at $3,820,000 based on the Black-Scholes options pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 6% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility of 335.722%, exercise prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.80, and the stock price of $0.32 when issued. Accordingly, we recorded additional debt discount of $2,025,000 to offset the net cash proceeds received from YA Global for the debentures and a finance charge to operations of $1,795,000 to reflect the excess of fair market value of the warrants over the debt proceeds. As of July 31, 2006, the fair value of the warrants was recalculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 6% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility of 338.441%, exercise prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.80, and the stock price of $0.23 when valued and resulting in a decrease in the carrying value of the derivative liability to approximately $2,744,000 and an unrealized gain on derivative liability of $1,076,000 for the year ended July 31, 2006.
 
As of July 31, 2007, the fair value of the warrants was recalculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 6% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility of 216.543%, exercise prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.80,and the stock price of $0.95 when valued and resulting in an increase in the carrying value of the derivative liability to approximately $11,059,000 and an unrealized loss on derivative liability of approximately $8,524,813 for the year ended July 31, 2007. As of October 31, 2007, the fair value of the warrants was recalculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 6% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility of 209.285%, exercise prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.80 per share, and the stock price of $0.82 per share when valued and resulted in an decrease in the carrying value of the derivative liability to approximately $9,069,000 and an unrealized gain on derivative liability of approximately $1,989,000 during the three months ended October 31, 2007.
 
As explained above, EITF 00-19 required us to record the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the debentures at their gross value of approximately $3,820,000 and fully offset the net proceeds received with an equivalent amount of debt discount. As a result, there was no amount allocable to the net carrying value of the convertible debentures upon issuance on May 25, 2006 although they could have been converted as of that date into 6,756,757 shares of common stock with an aggregate fair value of approximately $2,252,000. This amount represents a beneficial conversion feature that could not be recorded in the consolidated financial statements since it would have resulted in the recording of an aggregate debt discount that would have exceeded the net proceeds from the issuance of the debentures which is prohibited by EITF 00-19.
 
The issuance of convertible debentures and warrants to YA Global also caused us to record the fair value of 200,000 options issued to a consultant from stockholders’ equity to the derivative liability. As of May 25, 2006, the options were valued at approximately $64,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As of July 31, 2006, the fair value of the options was recalculated which resulted in a decrease in the carrying value of the derivative liability to approximately $46,000 and the recognition of an unrealized gain on derivate liability of $18,000 for the year ended July 31, 2006. On October 2, 2006, we granted options to another consultant with a fair value of approximately $36,000 which is being amortized over the service period. The fair value at the date of the grant was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 6% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility of 340.641%, an exercise price of $0.05 per share, and the stock price of $0.18 per share when issued. On February 21, 2007, a consultant exercised options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $0.02 per share resulting in proceeds of $4,000 and reclassification of $116,000 (the fair value of the options at the exercise date) from the derivative liability to equity. On June 11, 2007, a consultant exercised options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $0.05 per share resulting in proceeds of $10,000 and reclassification of $176,000 (the fair value of the options at the exercise date) from the derivative liability to equity. On July 11, 2007, the exercise price of options to purchase 140,000 shares of common stock previously issued to employees was reduced from prices ranging from $0.50 to $1.00 to $0.21. The reduction in the exercise prices was made as payment for services charged to operating expenses with corresponding credits to equity. As required by SFAS 123(R), incremental compensation of approximately $4,000 was recognized for the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. The fair value of the options at the date of the modification was determined assuming a risk free interest rate of 6.0% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility of 216.54%, an exercise price of $0.21 and a stock price when modified of $1.17 per share.
 
As of July 31, 2007 all the options to non-employees had been exercised or expired.

During the year ended July 31, 2006, YA Global converted debentures in the principal amount of $75,000 into 404,955 shares of our common stock. As of the dates of conversion, the conversion price was at a 10% discount to the lowest volume weighted average price, as reported by Bloomberg, LP, of our common stock during the 30 trading days prior to the conversion date and we recorded a loss on conversion of approximately $75,000. We recorded amortization of debt discount attributable to the debentures of approximately $202,000 during the year ended July 31, 2006, including $75,000 which was accreted as a result of the conversion. As of July 31, 2006, the debenture had a net carrying value of approximately $2,027,000 reflecting the outstanding principal balance due of $4,075,000 reduced by remaining unamortized debt discounts aggregating approximately $2,048,000.
 
During the year ended July 31, 2007, YA Global converted debentures in the principal amount of $555,000 into 4,432,111 shares of our common stock. We recorded amortization of debt discount attributable to the debentures of approximately $1,135,000 during the year ended July 31, 2007, including $555,000 which was accreted as a result of the conversion. As of July 31, 2007, the debentures had a net carrying value of approximately $2,607,000 reflecting the outstanding principal balance due of $3,520,000 reduced by remaining unamortized debt discounts aggregating approximately $913,000.

During the three months ended October 31, 2007, we issued options for the purchase of 655,000 shares of common stock to non-employees valued at approximately $338,000 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 6% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility ranging from 210.949% to 216.543%, and exercise prices ranging from $0.60 to $0.86 per share when issued.
 
During the three months ended October 31, 2007 consultants to JAG Media exercised options to purchase 905,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.02 to $0.86. Proceeds of $78,750 for the exercise of options to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock at $.063 per share were not received until November 14, 2007 and, accordingly, the balance receivable was included in other current assets at October 31, 2007. We received proceeds of $398,200 upon the exercise of options to purchase 780,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.02 to $0.86 during the three months ended October 31, 2007.
 
Recent Events.  Various previous amendments to the above described convertible debentures and warrants, relating principally to their exercisability and contingent on the proposed Merger with Cryptometrics being timely consummated, expired by their terms on December 15, 2007. From November 1, 2007 through January 30, 2008, YA Global converted $1,595,000 of the principal amount of our outstanding secured convertible debentures into 3,987,500 shares of our common stock. On January 31, 2008, we entered into a letter agreement with YA Global amending the terms and conditions of such debentures and warrants and other related documents. Under the letter agreement, YA Global agreed to convert the remaining $325,000 outstanding principal balance of the convertible debentures as well as all accrued and unpaid interest on such debentures in the aggregate amount of $535,679 into restricted shares of our common stock. As a result of such conversions, on January 31, 2008 we issued 2,151,699 restricted shares of our common stock to YA Global. In addition, YA Global agreed to exercise, at the previously agreed exercise price of $0.40 per share, a warrant to the extent of 700,000 shares of our common stock, as a result of which JAG Media received $280,000 in cash.
 
As a result of the conversion and termination of the debentures, the restrictive covenants in the securities purchase agreement, dated May 4, 2006, under which the debentures and warrants were issued, as well as the related security agreements discussed above, share reservation instructions and the related registration rights agreement were all terminated as of January 31, 2008.
 
We and YA Global also amended the exercise price and dates of the remaining warrants. The warrant exercise price will be 88% of the average of the Volume Weighted Average Price of the common stock during the 30 trading

days prior to their respective exercise restriction date. The exercise restriction date, which is the date after which a warrant may be exercised, is as follows:
 
     
1,300,000 shares
  30 trading days following the Closing of the proposed Merger between JAG Media and Cryptometrics Inc.
2,000,000 shares

3,000,000 shares
  December 31, 2008
 
This agreement as to the warrant exercise price and the exercise restriction dates terminates on February 27, 2008 if the Merger has not yet occurred by that date.
 
We and YA Global also agreed to increase the permitted maximum beneficial ownership of JAG Media’s common stock by YA Global as set forth in the warrants from 4.99% to 9.99% of the outstanding shares of such common stock.
 
Seasonality
 
We do not believe that our business is subject to seasonal trends or inflation. On an ongoing basis, we will attempt to minimize any effect of inflation on our operating results by controlling operating costs and whenever possible, seeking to insure that subscription rates reflect increases in costs due to inflation.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The FASB and the Accounting Standards Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants had issued certain accounting pronouncements as of July 31, 2007 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, we do not believe that any of those pronouncements would have significantly affected our financial accounting measurements or disclosures had they been in effect during the year ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 or that they will have a significant effect at the time they become effective.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157). SFAS defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require new fair value measurements. We are required to adopt SFAS for our fiscal year beginning August 1, 2008. We do not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a company’s tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and will, therefore, be effective for our fiscal year beginning August 1, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 will be effective for our company on August 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 159 will have, if any, on our financial statements.

BUSINESS OF CRYPTOMETRICS
 
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
 
Since its founding in June 2000, Cryptometrics has been a provider of biometric technology solutions. Unlike many other biometric technology providers who either offer core biometric software products (e.g. fingerprint matching and face recognition software) or integrate these products to form turnkey solutions, Cryptometrics realizes its solutions by combining core biometric technology with a patented and patent pending technology it has invented to more effectively capture biometrics to permit preprocessing of such captured biometric data so as to realize an overall improvement in identity confirmation and technology specifically designed to integrate, capture and process biometrics within a specific business process.
 
Anticipating market needs, Cryptometrics initially focused on creating a method of protecting computerized systems and information assets by combining fingerprint technology with fingerprint capture/authentication devices and public key infrastructure technology. Cryptometrics FingerSURE(R) fingerprint verification products raise the level of security by requiring users to authenticate their identity via fingerprint verification not only at log on, but at user defined, critical points throughout the entire business process.
 
Through the acquisition of BioDentity Systems Corporation in March 2004 and its subsequent transition to the wholly owned subsidiary, Cryptometrics Canada, Inc., Cryptometrics moved to address a further emerging market need to provide next generation face biometric authentication technologies and solutions specifically designed to secure national borders, protect the traveling public, protect the critical infrastructure of a country, and support law enforcement, homeland security and first responder activities. Cryptometrics SecurIDenttm facial recognition products and ID(2)PASStm solutions have an ability to capture facial images in real world settings, including at distances up to 75 feet without active participation of an individual. Through the application of patented and patent pending technology Cryptometrics believes that its SecurIDenttm facial recognition products and ID(2)PASStm solutions will raise overall performance of identity confirmation beyond levels achievable using strictly commercial off-the-shelf biometric software. These products and solutions may be used to secure the issuance of passports and a wide range of national identification documents in addition to securing ports of entry such as at airports, seaports and land borders.
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
Cryptometrics intends to continue to expand its business offerings to deliver solutions for the financial services, healthcare, government and educational sectors, as well as travel and identification document provision, border clearance, aviation security, critical infrastructure protection, law enforcement and customer service and customer relationship management. Cryptometrics intends to pursue a sales channel strategy that will include both direct and partner revenue streams. Cryptometrics is currently working with companies that specialize in system integration to deliver its hardware and software technology and integrated solutions to a number of vertical markets.
 
The use and application of the Cryptometrics’ fingerprint biometric offerings is designed to be complete across the enterprise of any organization. Cryptometrics believes this is fundamental to delivering a more comprehensive and effective means of cyber asset protection. It is essential that networked computerized control systems are protected from a range of threats. It is equally critical that as more and more desktop computers are converted to the more accommodating mobile devices (e.g. laptop computers, personal hand-held devices) steps are taken to protect the wealth of personal and business data and access credentials they house.
 
Cryptometrics believes that the use of its facial biometrics offerings has the potential to play a critical role in enabling the deployment of biometric travel documents (e.g. the new ePassport) and installing enhanced border clearance systems and processes world-wide. Cryptometrics believes that the use of its facial biometrics offerings may play an essential role in the developing generation of proactive protection vital for dealing with international and domestic terrorism.
 
Cryptometrics’ facial biometric offerings and technology have recently been validated as a superior technology in the industry. Through specific tender and bid processes in certain regions of the Middle East, test results for Cryptometrics’ offerings were ranked number one when Cryptometrics competed side by side with leaders in the industry.

PRODUCTS
 
Cryptometrics is a provider of a new generation of biometric solution, focused on making biometrics work successfully in large scale public implementations while at the same time working to develop the critical technology necessary to enable identity confirmation performance levels to surpass that produced when simply using the latest commercially available biometric technology. Cryptometrics believes that its solutions are designed to deal with the some of the most pressing issues facing today’s public and private sectors, from protecting access to vital information held on computers to achieving enhanced security for global travel.
 
To date Cryptometrics has developed and launched solutions relying on both face and fingerprint biometrics. For instance, with respect to use of core biometric technology; i.e. in the case of fingerprint solutions, Cryptometrics applications use a wide range of wireless and wired fingerprint devices, and in the case of facial solutions, Cryptometrics applications are fully compatible with existing commercially available, off-the-shelf face recognition software.
 
Cryptometrics’ fingerprint imaging offerings are designed to address a broad spectrum of industries including healthcare, governmental, education and financial services institutions that are susceptible to a host of authentication, access control, communications and online data management security vulnerabilities.
 
Cryptometrics’ facial imaging offerings are designed to address pressing security issues associated with the issuance of travel and identification documents, inspection of people seeking entry into a country at border points, aviation security and law enforcement.
 
Sales of Cryptometrics’ products may be broken down into two classes: fingerprint imaging offerings and facial imaging offerings. In Cryptometrics’ fiscal years ending April 30, 2005, 2006 and 2007, fingerprint imaging offering sales were none, $8,688 and $559,503 respectively, and facial imaging offering sales were $681,854, $206,973 and $734,340, respectively. The following is a further breakdown of sales of specific products described below within such two offerings for each of the last three fiscal years of Cryptometrics.

  public company is affected by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and experts recommend private companies hoping to go public or be acquired by a public company also should abide by the rules.
 
  •  The National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace. Purpose: To suggest best practices to the private sector for protecting critical infrastructures and businesses from cyber attacks.
 
Identity Confirmation via Facial Recognition. This industry includes: (i) identity in the presence of a claimed identity and/or confirming identity of a person in the absence of a claimed identity in such fields as travel and identification document issuance (e.g. driver’s license); (ii) border clearance; (iii) aviation security; (iv) critical infrastructure and key asset protection; (v) law enforcement; (vi) homeland defense; (vii) first responder support; and (viii) customer service and customer management. As with fingerprint, market demand for face is being driven by legislation and regulations that have been enacted in many countries to deal with the threat of terrorism, in addition to illegal migration, trafficking and smuggling of persons and identity theft. Examples of such legislation and regulations that specify deployment of face biometric checks are:
 
  •  USA Patriot Act. Purpose: To boost the government’s ability to track and prosecute terrorist activity through increased use of surveillance, information sharing and other means.
 
  •  U.S. Public Law 107-173 — Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act. Purpose: Use of biometrics (face being designated as the mandatory, globally interoperable biometric) in travel documents to support more secure border clearance. It states that not later than October 26, 2006, the government of each country that is designated to participate in the visa waiver program established under Section 217 of the Immigration and Nationality Act shall certify, as a condition for designation or continuation of that designation, that it has a program to issue to its nationals machine readable passports that are tamper resistant and incorporate biometric and document authentication identifiers that comply with applicable biometric and document identifying standards established by the United Nations International Civil Aviation Organization.
 
  •  European Union Regulation — Council Regulation 15152/04. Purpose: Update the standards governing passport security features for all twenty five (25) European Union member countries to include the integration of biometric identifiers into European Union passports and travel documents. The regulation sets out that at a minimum, all new European Union passports will have a storage medium containing a full facial image and fingerprints in interoperable formats, along with standardized biographical data. The purpose of the biometric identifiers is to offer protection against falsification of passports and better identification of passport holders. The Regulation sets a compliance date of 28 August 2006 for countries to commence issuance of the new European Union passport with facial image. Fingerprints are to be added within 18 months following that date.
 
In addition the UN’s International Civil Aviation Organization has agreed an International Standard governing Machine Readable passports, including the ePassport which contains a mandatory, globally interoperable face biometric. This Standard affects 189 countries. The legislation and regulations referenced above all cite the United Nations International Civil Aviation Organization Standard as the basis for biometric data compliance.
 
As the result of these regulations, policies and legislation, introduction of new International Standards, and the mounting threat deriving from terrorism, governments and private sector organizations worldwide are seeking ways to deliver enhanced levels of protection and security for their operations, their staff and the people they serve. The introduction of fingerprint and face technology specifically designed to address these very specific needs places Cryptometrics in a unique position to capitalize at a time of concentrated, world-wide implementation.

EXPERIENCE WITH PASSPORT ISSUANCE AUTHORITIES
 
While working for passport issuing authorities, Cryptometrics successfully achieved a back record conversion of existing photographs or image databases, converting these national assets into valued contributors to urgent homeland security solutions. It has recently extended that expertise, applying it to convert and use law enforcement photo image databases with face recognition technology.
 
Cryptometrics has created advanced Search Engine technology that has been used to perform highly accurate fraud searches in support of passport issuance; i.e. fraud searches that search the entire collection of images without having to resort to “bogus performance enhancing techniques” such as biographical filters and binning.
 
TECHNOLOGY ENABLES MIGRATION BETWEEN 2-D AND 3-D FACE RECOGNITION
 
Cryptometrics has also developed technology to allow migration between 3-D and 2-D recognition:
 
  •  Technology to detect the 3-D orientation of the face from a photograph or image and use this information to digitally turn the face without distortion to the more optimum face recognition preferred “full frontal pose”. The technology can also be used to create a series of “derivative images “capable of forming a 3-D facial profile.
 
  •  Technology capable of digitally replicating muscle and jaw movement in the face to allow a facial image to be cleared of performance reducing gestures (e.g. smile, frown and mouth open), thereby assuming the more optimum, face recognition preferred “gesture neutral pose”. The technology can also be used to create “derivative images containing specific gestures” to improve match checks.
 
These unique competencies and experiences have allowed Cryptometrics to develop facial biometric capture devices and integrated systems that do not require a person to be cooperative — from single and multiple person over the counter capture and identification solutions to solutions able to seek out and capture a person’s facial biometric (in the form of an image) at upwards of 75 feet. They have lead to the creation of a range of unique preprocessing and image enhancement/handling software that allow commercial off-the-shelf face recognition software to realize better performance overall than if simply used on their own to process new live capture images, photos or images reclaimed from a historical database. They have also ensured that Cryptometrics is able to offer turn-key systems to address travel documents, border security, aviation security, homeland defense and critical infrastructure protection as a first step, thus placing Cryptometrics in a position of being able to meet market demands at the time of greatest need.
 
OTHER APPLICATIONS
 
Cryptometrics will continue to market research and pilot implementations of its technology and integrated solutions across a number of vertical markets; for example, the application of face biometrics to realize an enhanced level of trusted customer service from a self-service kiosk. In 2005 Cryptometrics successfully introduced and pilot tested face biometrically enabled kiosks on cruise ships to enhance the delivery of professional photo services to passengers. This successful experiment has opened up a completely new vertical market for Cryptometrics with significant potential for revenue realization. It equally confirms the potential of applying the technology to a range to applications outside of the security field. Market research is on going to determine how the technology can be applied to banking for the purpose of mitigating fraud and identity theft.

STRATEGIC ALLIANCES AND PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
 
SOLUTION INTEGRATOR PARTNERS
 
The objective of the Solution Integrator program is to provide core Cryptometrics biometric software and hardware technology to organizations providing solutions that use embedded biometric technology. Such organizations offer turn key solutions that serve a particular market or application area in which machine assisted identity (biometric) confirmation is required, or of value if added within a solution they are delivering to a client. The Solution Integrator will gain value in partnering with Cryptometrics by delivering a more complete solution for their respective clients, and providing a unique competitive advantage to the Solution Integrator.
 
RESELLER PARTNERS
 
The objective of the Reseller Partner Program is to establish a network of qualified and skilled resellers that will promote and sell the Cryptometrics offerings. Cryptometrics works cooperatively with each reseller partner in order to establish effective skills transfer and sales effort.
 
SOURCES OF REVENUE
 
Currently Cryptometrics’ established source of revenue is derived from software/hardware purchase agreements, consulting contracts, license agreements of its base product and supporting technologies. Residual revenue will come from maintenance upgrades and services for new options developed. As an example, although the predominance of the revenue in fiscal 2007 was attributable to the sale of software and hardware to one customer on a one-time basis, Cryptometrics has continued to generate revenue, although relatively minor, from follow-on type applications sold to such customer. Other revenue sources will come from joint development projects with special client requirements or with other equipment and device manufacturers. These successful joint development projects can lead to licensing agreements for private labeling and joint venture opportunities to license its solutions for a fixed term with renewal options. A potential source of revenue is consultative services to implement Cryptometrics’ packaged solution offering.
 
Cryptometrics believes that its Cryptometrics Partner program has the potential to generate revenue and margin for growth. This program involves a significant up front sales and development effort, some of which should be funded by the partner but once channeled and established it could become a recurring revenue stream with relatively low overhead cost for new sales. Once the development effort is complete and a partnership established, most customer related selling activities would be expected to come from the partner, thereby increasing Cryptometrics’ representation in the market place in terms of introductions to potential customers. Thus, this channel quickly becomes a very predictable, repeatable and high profit margin channel.

ADVERTISING, SALES & MARKETING PROMOTION
 
Cryptometrics intends to target use print media to describe its services, while continuing to participate in trade shows and other similar industry conferences. It will also continue to refine its Web Site and to develop brochures and various promotional material targeted to specific markets and opportunities.
 
Cryptometrics has entered into a contract with a public relations firm to increase its exposure to the public. This has already produced results, with segments aired on CNN news highlighting the Cryptometrics facial recognition solution and a number of articles and interviews highlighting the Cryptometrics FingerSURE solution.
 
Based upon various referrals, Cryptometrics believes that the features of its offerings are becoming known and the status of its senior team in the industry is being recognized.
 
COMPETITION
 
There are many companies presently offering identification and authentication hardware/software packages such as Identix, Viisage, Cogent and Cognitec, ActivIdentity and BNX Systems Corp. Many of the large enterprise and governments are aggressively seeking security solutions to combat internet fraud, data intrusion, unauthorized network access, and physical perimeter security breaches. The current market place for this type of technology is well defined and funded. Current technology addresses these concerns and minimizes the enterprise and government’s exposure to monetary fraud and unauthorized access. Cryptometrics attempts to distinguish itself from its competition by offering to both the customer and the client, the security/authentication system that provides a very high assurance that an intruder cannot access or physically breach the protected asset. Cryptometrics also stresses the versatility of its products through its capability of working with may different software platforms.
 
Cryptometrics has entered into a partnership with a fingerprint device manufacturer to deliver the fingerprint authentication solutions. The device provides wireless, on-device verification of the fingerprint. Cryptometrics FingerSUREtm software leverages the device to provide its customers a robust and amply featured wireless logical access and authentication solution for their information systems. To help our customers better understand what we do, the following information is provided. For protection of critical corporate data, The FingerSUREtm product delivers the highest level of data and information asset security in the industry at the user and enterprise level. A unique technology leadership capability is the FingerSUREtm movement of a private key or digital identity certificate to a trusted biometric device or trusted platform module. This private key can also be associated with the Microsoft Encrypting File System encryption routine provided as part of the Microsoft Windows platform and most important, the private key can only be used to decrypt data or access systems once a successful biometric authentication takes place”.
 
The majority of Cryptometrics’ competitors presently offer a closed and proprietary system for sale to the client. These systems are based on supporting only the technology that the company sells, and does not offer the client the flexibility and the additional strengths of being agnostic. Cryptometrics hardware/software strategy allows Cryptometrics to provide the most robust and feature rich solution possible. The capability of working with many different software platforms has allowed Cryptometrics to become the vendor of choice for large domestic and international government agencies. The ability to support multiple types of technologies and biometric algorithms has allowed Cryptometrics to create the support of a new type of biometric identification known as fusion technology. This fusion technology allows the support of already deployed biometric systems to be further enhanced and improved with the addition of Cryptometrics technology.
 
Cryptometrics is looking to secure all the logical and physical points of access to the enterprise, from the employee’s login at their enterprise desktop, to remotely connecting from home through a biometrically secured network, to physical access to the enterprise premises. Cryptometrics offers support for biometric authentication on a biometric device itself, or through a centrally controlled and administered authentication server. Both options allow clients the highest level of biometric security and authentication. Cryptometrics’ technology is based on developing software/hardware applications which drive and fully exploit biometric recognition technologies.

CRYPTOMETRICS’ MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF CRYPTOMETRICS FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED APRIL 30, 2007 (AS RESTATED) AND 2006 AND THE SIX MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2007 AND 2006
 
INTRODUCTION
 
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Cryptometrics contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, and projection about Cryptometrics and the industries in which Cryptometrics operate. In addition, other written or oral statements which constitute forward-looking statements may be made by or on behalf of Cryptometrics. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performances and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such forward-looking statements. Cryptometrics undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, other than as required by law.
 
Potential risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the uncertainties inherent in the development of new products, Cryptometrics’ need for additional funding, the uncertain market acceptance of our products, the uncertainties inherent in managing the integration of acquired businesses, and rapid developments in technology, including developments by competitors. Cryptometrics operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. Cryptometrics has often relied on one or two major customers per year for most of its revenues and, as these are not repeat customers, it must regularly find new major customers. New risks can arise and it is not possible for management to predict all such risks, nor can it assess the impact of all such risks on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
 
Overview
 
Cryptometrics is a provider of biometric solutions for critical infrastructure and key asset protection. Cryptometrics provides both hardware and software solutions focusing on biometric identification and verification both domestically and internationally. The FingerSURE product line provides encryption software, allowing users of both trusted and non-trusted authentication devices the ability to, in a secure manner to verify identity via a finger print. The SecurIDent product line contains proprietary software products/solutions that possess image quality analysis, eye finding logic, image normalization and matching. From a hardware prospective Cryptometrics provides its various biometric smart cameras utilizing off the shelf casings, sensors and lens; configured utilizing intellectual property and providing live capture images that are suitable for facial recognition. This technology is applied and utilized by Border Patrols, Immigration Authorities, and various governmental and non-governmental agencies.
 
Cryptometrics was incorporated in the State of Delaware in May 2000 under the name Postal Hut, Inc. In November 2001, Cryptometrics changed its name to Cryptometrics, Inc.
 
Acquisitions
 
In March 2004, Cryptometrics acquired all of the outstanding shares of Cryptometrics Canada, Inc. (formerly known as Biodentity Systems Corporation), a Canadian company specializing in providing next generation face biometric authentication technologies and solutions specifically designed to strengthen border control, aviation security and homeland defense. Cryptometrics’ SecurIDent and IDPASS solutions are used to secure the issuance of passports and a wide range of national documents and critical infrastructure.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Management discussion addresses Crytpometrics’ consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation


128


Table of Contents

of these statements requires management 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgment, including those related to revenue recognition, goodwill, bad debts, income taxes, and contingent liabilities. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments as to the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.
 
The following discussion of critical accounting policies represents Cryptometrics’ attempt to report on those accounting policies which Cryptometrics believes are critical to its consolidated financial statements and other financial disclosure. The following discussion is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of Cryptometrics’ significant accounting policies, which are more fully described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. The following is a summary of Cryptometrics’ critical accounting policies and estimates.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Significant management judgments and estimates are made in connection with the revenues recognized in any accounting period. Cryptometrics must assess whether the fee associated with a revenue transaction is fixed or determinable and whether or not collection is probable. Material differences could result in the amount and timing of revenues for any period if management were to make different judgments or utilize different estimates.
 
Certain of the Cryptometric’ equipment sales such as its’ SecurIDent Systems generally require installation subsequent to shipment and transfer of title. Cryptometrics recognizes revenue on such sales in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, “Revenue Recognition”.
 
Revenue related to equipment sales that are contingent on installation is deferred until installation is complete, title has transferred and customer acceptance has been obtained. Due to Cryptometrics’ current policy and practices, it considers acceptance of the SecurIDent Systems contingent upon successful installation of the product. Revenues from sales of products via authorized representatives, dealers, distributors or other third party sales channels are recognized at the time of title transfer, generally upon shipment.
 
Cryptometrics also sells several stand-alone software products including Face Recognition server, Face Processor and software developer kits. Revenue is recognized on software products in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended. Cryptometrics recognizes revenue on software products when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable and vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists to allocate the total fee to all undelivered elements of the arrangement and collection is deemed reasonably assured. VSOE of fair value is established based upon either sales of the element (e.g, maintenance, training or consulting) in individual transactions, or, in certain cases for maintenance, based upon substantive renewal rates. In cases where Cryptometrics does not have VSOE of fair value for all delivered elements in the transaction (e.g., for licenses), the fees from these multiple-element agreements are allocated using the residual value method. In circumstances when the software and services being sold include services to provide significant production, modification or customization of the software, and the services cannot be segregated into separate units of accounting, Cryptometrics accounts for the software sales under SOP 97-2 and SOP 81-1 “Accounting for performance of construction-type and certain production-type contracts”. In the cases where SOP 81-1 is applied, Cryptometrics uses the cost-to-cost method of percentage of completion. Under this method, sales, including estimated earned fees or profits, are recorded based on the percentage that total costs incurred bear to total estimated costs. Maintenance revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the service period of the related agreement.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments
 
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances on hand and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Short-term investments are highly liquid marketable securities with maturities of greater then three months but less then one year. The market value of the short-term investments is essentially the same as cost, therefore Cryptometrics has not recorded any unrealized gains or losses on these investments.
 
Income Taxes
 
Deferred Tax Assets — As required by SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, Cryptometrics recognizes deferred tax assets on its consolidated balance sheet if it is “more likely than not” that the subject net operating loss carry forwards and unused tax credits will be realized on future federal income tax returns. At April 30, 2007, Cryptometrics continued to provide a full valuation allowance against accumulated U.S. deferred tax assets reflecting Cryptometrics’ historical losses and the uncertainty of future taxable income.
 
If Cryptometrics begins to generate taxable income in a future period or if the facts and circumstances on which its estimates and assumptions are based were to change, thereby impacting the likelihood of realizing the deferred tax assets, judgment would have to be applied in determining the amount of valuation allowance no longer required. Reversal of all or a part of this valuation allowance could have a significant positive impact on operating results in the period that it becomes more likely than not that certain of Cryptometrics’ deferred tax assets will be realized.
 
Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets
 
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations”, and No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the rules, the pooling of interests method of accounting for acquisitions is no longer allowed and goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements.
 
Cryptometrics’ goodwill arose from its purchase of the common stock of Biodentity and totaled $10,500,000. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, Cryptometrics incurred additional costs totaling $200,000 which have been added to the goodwill. Upon acquisition and at the years ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, Cryptometrics performed its required tests for impairment and has determined there to be no impairment on each of those dates.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Fiscal Years Ended April 30, 2007 (as restated) and 2006
 
Revenues
 
Revenues for fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 were $1,293,843, an increase of $1,078,182 or 500% as compared to $215,661 for the same period in the prior year.
 
Cryptometrics’ revenues in fiscal 2006 primarily consisted of two solution applications with the SecurIDent (facial) Systems product line, one for $120,000 (a software product) and the second for $82,000 (software development services). The remaining revenues of approximately $14,000 were also related to solution type applications.
 
Cryptometrics’ revenues for fiscal 2007 were generated from sales of its SecurIDent (facial recognition) Systems of approximately $734,000 and its FingerSure (finger imaging) Systems of some $560,000.
 
The increase in revenues in the fiscal year 2007 of $1,078,000 was attributed to its FingerSure Systems ($551,000) and its SecurIDent Systems ($527,000).
 
The predominance of the revenues in 2007 was attributable to one customer which comprised both FingerSure (finger imaging) and SecurIDent (facial imaging) product lines. These sales consisted of both software application solutions and hardware devices. The hardware component of the revenue was comprised of finger imaging devices

and live enrolment cameras and accounted for approximately 75% of the total revenue associated with this customer. This customer’s purchases in fiscal 2007 were predominately a one time event. With the exception of anticipated minor revenue contributions associated with limited follow-up applications in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, Cryptometrics does not anticipate further major revenue contributions from such customer. As a consequence, Cryptometrics has begun to aggressively focus its ability to generate future and on-going business opportunities in the international arena, especially in certain areas of the Middle East.
 
Cost and expenses
 
Cost of revenues were $818,808 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007, compared to $59,278 for the same period in the prior year, representing an increase of $759,530 or 1280%. The costs represent 63% of revenue, compared to 27% of revenue for the prior period.
 
The increase, as a percentage of total revenue, was due to the current period being primarily comprised of lower margin hardware sales (such as finger imaging devices, live enrolment cameras, and certain identity controller mechanisms) which accounted for approximately 75% of total revenue. In addition, the revenue associated with the software and solutions portion experienced lower margins due to the competitive bidding associated with the government tender process of the project. The revenues in fiscal 2006 were software and solutions applications, not subject to competitive bidding and thus resulted in higher margins.
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
Research and development expenditures consists largely of salaries for technical personnel, the cost of related engineering materials, software tools and support, outside sourced products, project expenses and related third party consulting costs.
 
Research and development expense for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 were $3,589,008 and $2,181,936, respectively.
 
Research and development expenses increased due to the use of specialized outside sourced product development for a specific type of application, as well as increases in materials and somewhat lower R & D credits in 2007 as compared to 2006.
 
Outside product development was utilized in 2007 for the development of an application system specific to Critical Infrastructure Protection. The outside product development organization built upon very specific CryptoMetrics provided modules that were developed internally by Cryptometrics Research and Development and Engineering personnel. This method of development allowed Cryptometrics to rapidly deploy and make available to the market a turn-key product in a very economical and accelerated fashion.
 
Cryptometrics utilizes internal engineering resources to develop core and critical hardware and software elements. Based on this critical nature of product element, Cryptometrics maintains critical elements internal to ensure intellectual property retention. Consequently, the level of outside R&D is utilized on an as needed basis.
 
Outside Services also have been utilized by Cryptometrics for product development such as product certification, Hardware analysis (such as thermal analysis, industrial design, etc.) is not a core engineering specialty to Cryptometrics. Such practices are commonplace to most organizations and found to be the most economical with the highest degree of success.
 
General and Administration Expenses
 
General and administration expenses consist of salaries and related personnel costs for executive, financial and administrative functions, office and facilities expense, and professional fees.
 
General and Administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 increased $823,073 or 32% to $3,427,541 compared to $2,604,468 for the same period in 2006.
 
The increase was due to an increase in outside professional services of approximately $500 thousand (primarily related to the proposed merger with JAG Media), as well as increases in depreciation ($60 thousand),


131


Table of Contents

insurance ($20 thousand), the recognition of bad debt ($100 thousand), increases in travel and living associated with the Middle East and other international destinations, and slight increases in wages.
 
Selling and Marketing
 
Selling and marketing expenses primarily relate to remuneration of sales personnel, and costs for bid proposals and demonstrations. Other significant cost components include advertising and conference/trade show costs for marketing activities and sales force travel costs.
 
Selling and marketing expenses for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 increased $189,706 or 7% to $2,896,502 compared to $2,706,796 for the same period in 2006.
 
The increase was primarily the result of an expansion of marketing and the utilization of outside consultants in conjunction with the Company’s aggressive focus, demonstrations, and competitive testing in certain regions of the Middle East.
 
Convertible Debenture Expenses
 
In October 2006, the Company closed a private placement through the issuance of a $12,000,000 convertible debenture. Cryptometrics had originally recorded the debt as a conventional convertible debt. Subsequently, Cryptometrics determined that embedded derivatives within the convertible debenture agreement should be reported as embedded derivatives pursuant to FASB statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivate Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and Cryptometrics has additionally determined that these derivatives do not meet the requirements for treatment of the derivatives as equity instruments. Accordingly, Cryptometrics has recorded a derivative liability of $3,190,006 at April 30, 2007.
 
As part of the private placement, Cryptometrics agreed to issue warrants and a beneficial conversion feature. These warrants and conversion feature have been reported as part of the derivative liability. These embedded derivatives are revalued each reporting period and any gain or loss included in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended April 30, 2007, Cryptometrics recorded a gain on these derivatives of $19,944. See Notes 2 and 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In addition and in association with this private placement, Cryptometrics recorded deferred finance costs totaling $930,931. Amortization of these costs during the year ended April 30, 2007 total $336,170. The remaining deferred finance fees of $594.761 are currently classified as a current asset and will be fully amortized during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008.
 
Interest and Other Income (Net)
 
Interest income in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 was a net $177,798 and consisted of interest income of $539,576 and interest expenses of $361,778 associated with interest on the convertible debenture. For the fiscal year ended April 2006, interest income was $406,836.
 
Interest income reflects principally investment income on funds the Company maintains in banks and other short-term investments.
 
Income Taxes
 
Cryptometrics is in a net deferred tax asset position and has generated net operating losses to date. No provision for or benefit from income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying statements of operations. Cryptometrics will continue to provide a full valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets until it becomes more likely than not, in management’s assessment, that the Cryptometrics’ deferred tax assets will be realized.
 
Net Loss
 
As a result of the factors described above, the net loss for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 was $9,593,733 which represent an increased loss of $2,663,752 or 38% as compared to the net loss of $6,929,981 for the same period of the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
At April 30, 2007, Cryptometrics had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $11,575,615 and negative working capital of $283,034, as compared to cash, cash equivalent and short-term investments of $10,664,737 and working capital of $9,837,211 at April 30, 2006.
 
The difference in working capital at April 30, 2007, when compared to April 30, 2006 is attributable primarily to the losses sustained in fiscal 2007 and the classification, as current liabilities, the value of the convertible debenture and the associated derivative liability offset somewhat by the inclusion, in current assets, of the remaining net proceeds from the sale of the convertible debenture.
 
Cash flows for the fiscal periods were as follows:
 
                 
    Year Ended April 30, 2007     Year Ended April 30, 2006  
    (Audited and as Restated)     (Audited)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Fiscal Six Months Ended October 31, 2007 and 2006
 
Revenues
 
Revenues for fiscal six months ended October 31, 2007 were $71,742 as compared to $979,127 for the same period in the prior year.
 
For the six months ended October 31, 2006, approximately 85% of the six months revenue of $979,127 was attributed to one customer and the split was 53% related to the SecurIDent (facial) product line and 47% related to the FingerSure (finger imaging) product line and consisted of both software application solutions and hardware devices. The remaining 15% of revenue basically was for minor software solution for specific government and non-government applications.
 
Revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2007 was $71,742 and the predominance related to follow-on applications for the one customer mentioned above.
 
During the six months ended October 31, 2007 Cryptometrics had been requested to submit tender bids on various security oriented projects in certain areas of the Middle East. Cryptometrics has recently been notified of its award, as prime contractor, on one such project. However, the terms, conditions, values and contract duration have as yet to be firmly established in a definitive contract. Consequently, Cryptometrics believes that the revenues in the six months ended October 31, 2007 do not reflect the revenue run rate for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008.
 
Cost and expenses
 
Cost of revenues were $44,630 for the six months ended October 31, 2007, compared to $607,818 for the same period in the prior year. The costs represent 62% of revenue, compared to 62% of revenue for the prior period. Although the difference in cost, as a percent of revenue, when comparing the quarters of 2007 to the quarters of 2006 was driven by the product mix and the split between both hardware devices and software solution applications, the mix and split for the six months have basically averaged out, as a percent of revenue.
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
Research and development expenditures consists largely of salaries for technical personnel, the cost of related engineering materials, software tools and support, outside sourced products, project expenses and related third party consulting costs.
 
Research and development expense for the six months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006 were $1,186,634 and $1,833,415, respectively.
 
Research and development expenses decreased $646,781 or 35% due to the lower utilization of specialized outside sourced product development and higher R & D credits in 2007 as compared to 2006.
 
Cryptometrics utilizes internal engineering resources to develop core and critical hardware and software elements. Based on this critical nature of product element, Cryptometrics maintains critical elements internal to ensure intellectual property retention. Consequently, the level of outside R&D is utilized on an as needed basis.
 
Outside Services are utilized by Cryptometrics for product development such as product certification; hardware analysis (such as thermal analysis, industrial design, etc.) which is not a core engineering specialty to Cryptometrics. Such practices are commonplace to most organizations and found to be the most economical with the highest degree of success.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses consist of salaries and related personnel costs for executive, financial and administrative functions, office and facilities expense, and professional fees.
 
General and Administrative expenses for the six months ended October 31, 2007 increased $211,407 or 14% to $1,671,567 compared to $1,460,160 for the same period in 2006.

Table of Contents

 
The increase was primarily due to outside professional services (related to the proposed merger with JAG Media Holdings), offset in part by net decreases in travel and living expenses associated with the Middle East and other international destinations when compared to 2006.
 
Selling and Marketing
 
Selling and marketing expenses primarily relate to remuneration of sales personnel, outside sources, consultants and costs for bid proposals and demonstrations. Other significant cost components include advertising and conference/trade show costs for marketing activities and sales force travel costs.
 
Selling and marketing expenses for the six months ended October 31, 2007 increased $436,286 or 33% to $1,743,088 compared to $1,306,802 for the same period in 2006.
 
The increase was primarily the result of higher costs for bid proposals and demonstrations in the Middle East, utilization of outside sources and consultants and travel and living expenses associated with the sales efforts, primarily in the Middle East.
 
Convertible Debenture Expenses
 
In October 2006, Cryptometrics closed a private placement through the issuance of a $12,000,000 convertible debenture. Cryptometrics had previously recorded the debt as a conventional convertible debt. Subsequently, Cryptometrics has determined that embedded derivatives within the convertible debenture agreement should be reported as embedded derivatives pursuant to FASB statement No 133, “Accounting for derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and Cryptometrics has additionally determined that these embedded derivatives do not meet the requirements for treatment of the derivatives as equity instruments. Accordingly, Cryptometrics has recorded a derivative liability of $3,163,191 at October 31, 2007.
 
As part of the private placement, Cryptometrics agreed to issue warrants and a beneficial conversion feature. These warrants and conversion feature have been reported as part of the derivative liability. These embedded derivatives are revalued each reporting period and any gain or loss included in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended October 31, 2007, Cryptometrics recorded a gain on these derivatives of $26,815.
 
In addition and in association with this private placement, Cryptometrics recorded deferred finance costs totaling $930,931. Amortization of these costs during the six months ended October 31, 2007 totaled $310,310. The remaining deferred finance fees of $284,451 are currently classified as a current asset and will be fully amortized during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008.
 
Interest and Other Income (Net)
 
Interest in the six months ended October 31, 2007 was a net expense of $383,895 and consisted of interest income of $178,440 and interest expense of $562,335 primarily associated with interest on the convertible debenture. For the six months ended October 31 2006, interest income was $150,689 and interest expenses of $71,298 for a net income of $79,391.
 
Interest income reflects principally investment income on funds Cryptometrics maintains in banks and other short-term investments.
 
Income Taxes
 
Cryptometrics is in a net deferred tax asset position and has generated net operating losses to date. No provision for or benefit from income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying statements of operations. Cryptometrics will continue to provide a full valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets until it becomes more likely than not, in management’s assessment, that the Cryptometrics’ deferred tax assets will be realized.

Net Loss
 
As a result of the factors described above, the net loss for the six months ended October 31, 2007 was $5,250,396, which represents an increased loss of $1,100,719 or 26% as compared to the net loss of $4,149,677 for the same period of the prior year.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
At October 31, 2007, Cryptometrics had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $5,162,579 and negative working capital of $8,487,933, as compared to cash, cash equivalent and short-term investments of $11,575,615 and negative working capital of $283,034 at April 30, 2007.
 
The changes in the levels of cash and working capital at October 31, 2007, when compared to April 30, 2007 is attributable primarily to two factors: the net loss sustained in the six months ended October 31, 2007 and advances of $3,055,184 in the six months ended October 31, 2007 associated with the related party transaction which is described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Cash flows for the fiscal periods were as follows:

Cryptometrics used $4,716,269 in operating activities for the fiscal six months ended October 31, 2007 as compared to $3,979,685 for the same period in 2006. The increase of $736,584 in net cash used in operations is primarily attributable to the net of five factors: a higher net loss of $1,100,719 in comparing the current six months ended October 31, 2007 to the same period in the prior year; offset by an adjustment for amortization of deferred finance fees of $310,310 in the six months ended October 31, 2007; lower investment in certain elements of working capital of $64,774 in the six months October 31, 2007 in comparison to lower investment in certain elements of working capital of $4,823 for the same period in the prior year; higher depreciation and amortization of $185,858 for the six months ended October 31, 2007 in comparison to $165,169 for the same period in prior year; and an adjustment of $26,815 for the six months ended October 31, 2007 associated with the gain on derivative liability in comparison to no applicable adjustment for the same period in prior year.
 
Cash used in investing activities during the fiscal six months ended October 31, 2007 was a net $3,381,837 as compared to the net source of $269,209 for the same period in the previous year. Cash used in investing activities in the six months ended October 31, 2007 consisted of the acquisition of fixed assets ($226,124), patent and trademark application costs ($100,529), and advances of $3,055,184 associated with the related party transaction which is described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
The advances associated with the related party transaction of $3,055,184 includes $1,510,184 deposited with Biodentity’s bank in the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”) in order to secure a Bid Bond posted by that bank for Biodentity’s eligibility to bid on a UAE project. The deposit was primarily funded by a one-time borrowing from Cryptometrics’ bank in the United States and the borrowing is reflected as a cash flow from financing activities of $1,443,883. It is anticipated that the deposit will be released by Biodentity’s bank and returned to Cryptometrics no later than January 31, 2008 at which time Cryptometrics’ borrowing of $1,443,883 is expected to be fully extinguished. As of October 31, 2007, Cryptometrics accrued interest associated with the borrowing was $5,840.
 
Cryptometrics does not have a bank credit facility or other working capital credit line under which it may borrow funds on an on-going basis.
 
Future liquidity and cash requirements will depend on a wide range of factors including the level of business in existing and future operations and Cryptometrics’ ability to raise additional financing.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
JAG Media Holdings, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of JAG Media Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of July 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JAG Media Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of July 31, 2007 and 2006, and their results of operations and cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The consolidated financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As further discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s operations have generated recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. Such matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Our audits referred to above included the information in Schedule II, which presents fairly, in all material respects when read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, the information required to be set forth therein.

Note 1 -   Organization :
 
    JAG Media Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) gather and compile financial and investment information from contacts with financial institutions, experienced journalists, money managers, analysts and other Wall Street professionals and generate revenues by releasing such information to subscribers on a timely basis through facsimile transmissions and a web site, www.jagnotes.com. Subscribers receive, among other things, a daily early-morning investment report that summarizes newly issued research, analyst opinions, upgrades, downgrades and analyst coverage changes from various investment banks and brokerage houses and alerts, during the trading day, of rumors circulating on Wall Street. The Company is also in the business of developing related software focused on streaming video solutions, including the delivery of services already provided by the Company. Management considers all of its activities to be within the same business segment.
 
    The Company commenced operations in 1989 and its subscribers were initially limited primarily to institutional investors. During the year ended July 31, 2000, the Company opened its web site and began targeting retail subscribers in an effort to expand its subscriber base.
 
    On November 24, 2004, a newly established subsidiary of the Company, Pixaya (UK) Limited (“Pixaya”) (formerly known as TComm (UK) Limited), a company organized in the United Kingdom, acquired the business and assets of TComm Limited, a development stage company, also organized in the United Kingdom, that was developing various mobile video streaming products. The Company is continuing to develop certain of these products although such development has been limited as a result of the Company’s lack of financial resources and has added a new service to this product line (See Note 5). However, the business acquired had not generated any significant revenue as of the date of the acquisition or through July 31, 2007.
 
    The Company is actively pursuing potential mergers. As further discussed in Note 10 herein, on December 27, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger that was amended on various dates through September 18, 2007 (the “Merger Agreement”) with, among others, Cryptometrics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cryptometrics”), pursuant to which Cryptometrics would merge with a newly created subsidiary of the Company. In consideration of the merger, the stockholders of Cryptometrics would acquire shares of common stock of the Company, which would, upon issuance, represent approximately 88% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Cryptometrics. There is no assurance that the proposed transaction will be consummated.
 
Note 2 -   Basis of presentation and summary of significant accounting policies:
 
    Basis of presentation:
 
    The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, as shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company only generated revenues of approximately $203,000, $167,000 and $240,000 and it incurred net losses of approximately $11,775,000, $3,637,000 and $1,889,000 and negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $449,000, $2,194,000 and $1,524,000 for the years ended July 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In addition, as of July 31, 2007 the Company only had cash and cash equivalents available of approximately $500 and a working capital deficiency of $12,087,000. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
    Management believes that in the absence of a substantial increase in subscription revenues, it is probable that the Company will continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operating activities through at least July 31, 2008 and that the Company will need to obtain additional equity or debt financing to sustain its operations.
 
    Management believes that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient financing directly through the consummation of the merger with Cryptometrics or through the consummation of a merger with another appropriate merger candidate that has such financing, to enable it to continue as a going concern through at least July 31, 2008. However, if the Company cannot obtain sufficient additional financing by that date, the Company may be forced thereafter to restructure its operations, file for bankruptcy or entirely cease its operations.

Table of Contents

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of consolidation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JAG Media Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue recognition:
Fees for subscriptions are generally billed in advance on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. Revenues from subscriptions are recognized ratably over the subscription period. Subscription fees collected that relate to periods subsequent to the date of the consolidated balance sheet are included in deferred revenues.
Cash equivalents:
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired.
Equipment:
Equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years.
Impairment of long-lived assets subject to amortization:
The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”). Under SFAS 144, impairment losses on long-lived assets subject to amortization, such as equipment, are recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by such assets are less than their carrying value and, accordingly, all or a portion of such carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are then measured by comparing the fair value of assets to their carrying amounts.
Goodwill:
The Company is required to periodically review the carrying value of any intangible assets it has recorded that are not subject to amortization, such as goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”) requires that goodwill be assessed annually for impairment using fair value measurement techniques. Specifically, goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The estimates of fair value of a reporting unit, generally the Company’s operating segments, are determined using various valuation techniques with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis requires the Company to make various judgmental assumptions including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on the Company’s budget and long-term plans. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the respective reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized identifiable intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit. As explained in Note 5, the Company wrote off all of the Goodwill it had recorded based on an impairment test as of January 31, 2005.
Income taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation

Table of Contents

allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The income tax provision or credit is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Stock-based compensation:
Through July 31, 2006, the Company recognized the cost of grants of options to employees and non-employees based on the fair value of the equity instruments at the date issued amortized over the periods in which the related services were rendered in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Accordingly, the Company had been estimating the fair value of stock options using an option-pricing model (generally, the Black-Scholes model) that met the criteria set forth in SFAS 123 and common stock using its market value. It had been recording such value through charges to compensation cost and corresponding credits to equity. The charges to compensation cost for the fair value of the options were being amortized to expense over the vesting period.
As required, effective August 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”) using the modified prospective application transition method. Because the fair value recognition and the amortization provisions of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 123(R) are materially consistent, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) did not have a significant impact on the methods used by the Company to value and account for its options or its financial position and results of operations and, accordingly, charges to compensation cost for the fair value of the options continue to be amortized to expense over the vesting period. In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), the Company reclassified previously unamortized unearned compensation of $34,870 from unearned compensation to additional paid-in capital as of the date of adoption. There was no charge to operations.
Net earnings (loss) per share:
The Company presents “basic” earnings (loss) per share and, if applicable, “diluted” earnings per share pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to that of basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, such as those issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, and the conversion of outstanding convertible debentures, were issued during the period and the treasury stock method had been applied to the proceeds from the exercise of the options and warrants and net income or loss was adjusted for interest on the convertible debentures.
As of July 31, 2007, there were stock options, warrants and convertible debentures outstanding for the purchase of a total of 1,000,000, 12,000,000 and 4,050,000 shares of common stock, respectively (see Notes 4 and 6). As of July 31, 2006, there were stock options, warrants and convertible debentures outstanding for the purchase of a total of 1,420,000, 12,000,000 and 10,507,246 shares of common stock, respectively. As of July 31, 2005, there were stock options outstanding for the purchase of a total of 2,510,000 shares of common stock. However, diluted per share amounts have not been presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations because the Company had a net loss in the years ended July 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and the assumed effects of the exercise of the Company’s stock options and warrants and the conversion of convertible debentures that were outstanding during all or part of those periods would have been anti-dilutive.
Derivative and Convertible Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks.
The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments it issues to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including an embedded conversion option, that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may issue freestanding warrants and options that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.
Bifurcated embedded derivatives and freestanding warrants and options accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. When the convertible debt or equity instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments to be accounted for as derivative liabilities. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible

instruments themselves. This usually results in those convertible instruments being recorded at a discount from their face amount to reflect beneficial conversion prices that are, effectively, below market value.
The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, using the effective interest method. Since the conversion of the secured convertible debentures issued by the Company during the year ended July 31, 2006 could have been at a discount from the market price and, accordingly, could have resulted in the issuance of an indeterminable number of common shares, the Company determined that it would be prohibited from concluding that it would have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares to net -share settle any of those warrants or any other warrants or options previously issued or granted to non-employees. Therefore, as of the date the secured convertible debentures and the related warrants were issued, the Company recorded the related fair value of all warrants issued with the debentures and options previously issued to non-employees as a liability. Accordingly, subsequent changes in the fair value of such options and warrants at the end of each reporting period have been and will be recorded as charges or credits to the Company’s results of operations.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board and its Emerging Issues Task Force (the “EITF”) have issued certain accounting pronouncements as of July 31, 2007 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management of the Company does not believe that any of those pronouncements would have significantly affected the Company’s financial accounting measurements or disclosures had they been in effect during 2007 and 2006, and it does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements at the time they become effective.
Note 3 — Income taxes:
As of July 31, 2007, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $35,224,000 available to reduce future Federal taxable income which will expire from 2019 through 2027.
As of July 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company’s deferred tax assets consisted of the effects of temporary differences attributable to the following:
                 
    July 31  
    2007     2006
Deferred revenues, net
  $ 6,000     $ 8,000  
Unearned compensation
    31,000       54,000  
Net operating loss carryforwards
    13,262,000       12,165,000  
 
           
 
    13,299,000       12,227,000  
Less valuation allowance
    (13,299,000 )     (12,227,000 )
 
           
 
               
Total
  $     $  
 
           
Due to the uncertainties related to, among other things, the extent and timing of its future taxable income, the Company offset its net deferred tax assets by an equivalent valuation allowance as of July 31, 2007.
The Company had also offset the potential benefits from its net deferred tax assets by an equivalent valuation allowance as of July 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 of approximately $12,227,000, $11,843,000 and $12,372,000. As a result of increases (decreases) in the valuation allowances of $1,072,000, $384,000 and ($529,000) during the years ended July 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which were primarily attributable to the net loss incurred during each of those years, the exercise of options in 2007, and the expiration and cancellation of options and warrants in 2005 that had not been exercised, there are no credits for income taxes reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations to offset pre-tax losses.
Note 4 — Equity and debt financing agreements with YA Global Investments, L.P.:
On April 9, 2002, the Company entered into an equity line purchase agreement (the “Equity Line Agreement”) with YA Global Investments, L.P. (YA Global”) (formerly known as Cornell Capital Partners, L.P.) pursuant to which the Company had, in effect, put options whereby, subject to certain conditions, it could have required YA Global to purchase shares of its common stock from time to time at an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000 through August 2006. The purchase price was to be 95% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock over a specified number of trading days commencing on specified dates. YA Global was entitled

to a cash fee equal to 5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from YA Global in connection with each put. As of May 25, 2006, the date the Equity Line Agreement was effectively cancelled, and July 31, 2005 and 2004, $4,035,000 of the Company’s Equity Line with YA Global had been utilized.
On January 25, 2005, the Company entered into a Promissory Note Agreement with YA Global for a loan of $2,000,000. The $2,000,000 loan from YA Global was funded on February 2, 2005 net of a debt discount of $100,000 deducted at the time of funding which was being amortized over the original term of the loan. The unamortized debt discount was approximately $73,000 as of July 31, 2005 and $32,000 as of May 25, 2006 when the promissory note was converted into common stock and a secured convertible debenture. The face amount of the promissory note and interest on the amount from time to time outstanding at a rate of 12% per year was originally payable either (i) out of the net proceeds to be received by the Company upon delivery of put notices under the Equity Line Agreement or (ii) in full by the Company within 663 calendar days, subsequently extended to 753 calendar days, of January 25, 2005 regardless of the availability of proceeds under the Equity Line Agreement, unless an extension was mutually agreed to by the parties in writing.
Pursuant to the promissory note, the Company had agreed to deposit in escrow 35 put notices under the Equity Line Agreement in an amount of $60,000 each and one request for a put under the Equity Line Agreement in an amount of $181,017. Under the terms of the promissory note, as amended on August 5, 2005, the put notices were to have been held in escrow and released every 14 days commencing November 4, 2005.
All put notices were returned to the Company on May 25, 2006, when the Company terminated its Equity Line with YA Global, converted $250,000 of the principal of its $2,000,000 promissory note payable to YA Global into 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock which were issued on such date for which the fair value was $400,000, and converted the remaining principal amount of $1,750,000 and accrued interest of $150,000 on the promissory note into a secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $1,900,000. As the cash flows of the new debentures were substantially different from those of the promissory notes, the restructuring qualified as an extinguishment for financial accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of $77,373 during the year ended July 31, 2006 (representing the fair value of the shares in excess of the principal converted plus $31,674 of debt discount written off less $104,301 of accrued interest forgiven). In addition, the Company issued similar secured convertible debentures to YA Global in the principal amounts of $1,250,000 on May 25, 2006 and $1,000,000 on May 31, 2006, which provided the Company with net proceeds of approximately $2,025,000 after fees and costs of $225,000 paid to YA Global which were recorded as part of the debt discount on the debentures. All the secured convertible debentures bear interest at the rate of 10% per year and mature three years after issuance. They are convertible through maturity into shares of the Company’s common stock as described below.
The Company was required to issue irrevocable transfer agent instructions relating to the issuance of stock certificates on conversion of the debentures or exercise of the warrants. The Company was also required to deliver on behalf of itself and its subsidiary, Pixaya LLC (formerly JAG Media LLC), security agreements executed by the Company and its subsidiary granting YA Global a security interest in all their respective assets. The Company and its subsidiary could not incur any further liens, declare a dividend, issue any guarantees or incur any new indebtedness in excess of $25,000 other than trade accounts payable. The security agreements terminate once a registration statement covering shares of common stock issuable upon conversion has been effective for 60 days and other conditions have been met. At such time, the security interest will automatically terminate provided the Company’s common stock is trading on the OTC Bulletin Board at a price above $0.08 per share and there has occurred no event of default under the convertible debentures. The security interest had not been terminated by YA Global as of July 31, 2007.
YA Global has the right to convert the debentures, at its sole option, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price which shall be the lower of (i) $0.40 per share or (ii) a 10% discount to the lowest volume weighted average price, as reported by Bloomberg, of the Company’s common stock during the 30 trading days prior to the conversion date (see Note 10).
If the Company issues shares of common stock or common stock equivalents, such as rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt that are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock entitling any person to

F-11


Table of Contents

acquire shares of common stock at a price per share that is less than the then fixed conversion price then, at the sole option of the holder of a debenture, the fixed conversion price shall be adjusted to mirror the lower conversion, exchange or purchase price for such new common stock, or common stock equivalents, at issue. No such adjustment shall be made as a result of issuances and exercises of options for compensatory purposes under the Company’s 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan (see Note 6). The fixed conversion price of the debentures is also subject to adjustment in connection with certain corporate transactions.
In connection with the foregoing May 25, 2006 transaction, the Company issued warrants to YA Global to purchase 12,000,000 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable through May 2011 at prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.80 per share (see Note 6). The exercise price and number of shares issuable pursuant to each of the warrants are subject to antidilution provisions.
Since the conversion of the secured convertible debentures could result in the issuance of an indeterminable number of common shares since they are convertible at a discount from the market price, the Company determined that based on the guidance in the consensus for EITF Issue No. 00-19 (“EITF 00-19”) “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock”, the Company will be prohibited from concluding that it will have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares to net - -share settle any of those warrants or any other warrants or options previously issued or granted to non-employees. Therefore, as of the date the secured convertible debentures and the related warrants were initially issued, the Company recorded the related fair value of all warrants issued with the debentures and options previously issued to non-employees as a liability as explained below. Subsequent changes in the fair value of such options and warrants at the end of each reporting period have been and will be recorded as charges or credits to the Company’s results of operations.
As of May 25, 2006, the warrants for the purchase of 12,000,000 shares were valued at approximately $3,820,000 based on the Black-Scholes options pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 6% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility of 335.722%, exercise prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.80, and the stock price of $0.32 per share when issued. Accordingly, the Company recorded an additional debt discount of $2,025,000 to offset the net cash proceeds received from YA Global for the debentures and a finance charge to operations of $1,795,000 to reflect the excess of fair value of the warrants over the debt proceeds. As of July 31, 2006, the fair value of the warrants was recalculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 6% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility of 338.441%, exercise prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.80, and the stock price of $0.23 when valued. This resulted in a decrease in the carrying value of the derivative liability to approximately $2,744,000 and the recognition of an unrealized gain on derivative liability of $1,076,000 for the year ended July 31, 2006.
As of July 31, 2007, the warrants for the purchase of 12,000,000 shares were valued at approximately $11,059,000 based on the Black-Scholes options pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 6% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility of 216.543%, exercise prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.80, and the stock price of $0.95 per share when valued. This resulted in the recognition of unrealized losses on derivative liability of approximately $8,314,000 for the year ended July 31, 2007.
As explained above, EITF 00-19 required the Company to record the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the debentures at their gross value of approximately $3,820,000 and fully offset the net proceeds received with an equivalent amount of debt discount. As a result, there was no amount allocable to the net carrying value of the convertible debentures upon issuance on May 25, 2006 although they could have been converted as of that date into 6,756,757 shares of common stock with an aggregate fair value of approximately $2,252,000. This amount represents a beneficial conversion feature that could not be recorded in the consolidated financial statements since it would have resulted in the recording of an aggregate debt discount that would have exceeded the net proceeds from the issuance of the debentures which is prohibited by EITF 00-19.
The issuance of convertible debentures and warrants to YA Global also caused the Company to reclassify the fair value of 200,000 options issued to a consultant that were outstanding as of May 25, 2006 from stockholders’ equity to the derivative liability and include the fair value of all options and warrants subsequently granted to non-employees for services as a derivative liability until the options and warrants are exercised or expire. As of May 25, 2006 the warrants were valued at approximately $64,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As of July 31, 2006, the fair value of the warrants was recalculated which resulted in a decrease in the carrying value of the derivative liability to approximately $46,000 and the recognition of an unrealized gain on derivative liability of $18,000 for the year ended July 31, 2006. On October 2, 2006, the Company granted options to another consultant with a fair value at the date of grant of approximately $36,000 which is being amortized over the service period. The fair value at the date of the grant was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 6% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility of 340.641%, an exercise price of $0.05 per

share, and the stock price of $0.18 per share when issued. On February 21, 2007, a consultant exercised the options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $0.02 per share resulting in proceeds of $4,000 and the reclassification of $116,000 (the fair value of the options at the exercise date) from the derivative liability to equity. On June 11, 2007, a consultant exercised options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $0.05 per share resulting in proceeds of $10,000 and the reclassification of $176,000 (the fair value of the options at the exercise date) from the derivative liability to equity. As of July 31, 2007 all the warrants issued to non-employees had been exercised or expired.
During the year ended July 31, 2006, YA Global converted debentures in the principal amount of $75,000 into 404,955 shares of the Company’s common stock and the Company recorded amortization of debt discount attributable to the debentures of approximately $202,000 including $75,000 which was accreted as a result of the conversions. As of July 31, 2006, the debentures had a net carrying value of $2,027,000 reflecting the outstanding principal balance due of $4,075,000 reduced by remaining unamortized debt discounts aggregating approximately $2,048,000.
During the year ended July 31, 2007, YA Global converted debentures in the principal amount of $555,000 into 4,432,111 shares of the Company’s common stock and recorded amortization of debt discount attributable to the debentures of approximately $1,135,000, including $555,000 which was accreted as a result of the conversions. As of July 31, 2007, the debentures had a net carrying value of approximately $2,607,000, reflecting the outstanding principal balance due of $3,520,000 reduced by remaining unamortized debt discounts aggregating approximately $913,000.
Subsequent to the year ended July 31, 2007 and through November 9, 2007, YA Global converted debentures in the principal amount of $1,600,000 into 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Upon an event of default (as defined in the promissory note), the entire principal balance and accrued interest of the promissory note, and all other obligations of the Company under the promissory note, would become immediately due and payable without any action on the part of YA Global.
Note 5 – Acquisition:
On November 24, 2004, the Company and Pixaya (UK), the Company’s newly organized subsidiary, entered into a Business Sale Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) with TComm Limited, a company organized in the United Kingdom (“Seller”). The Company entered into the transaction to access the seller’s development stage software, which the Company believed offered a new platform for delivery of the Company’s services as well as being valuable in its own right.
The transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement were consummated on November 24, 2004. Under the Sale Agreement, Pixaya purchased the Seller’s software development business, which is focused on streaming video solutions, and all of its assets related to that business. The business acquired had not generated any significant revenue as of the date of the acquisition or through July 31, 2007.
The acquired product lines the Company originally intended to continue to develop included: (1) Pixaya Mobile (previously known as TComm TV), which was intended to deliver on-demand video/audio clips to various java-based and Symbian-based mobile phones and (2) SurvayaCam (previously known as CCMTV), which is currently under development and will consist of software programs (and related hardware) intended to enable field personnel to send real-time video streams from the field to a central point where they can be viewed by one or more persons. During the year ended July 31, 2006, the Company discontinued development of Pixaya Mobile. The Company is unable to estimate the amount of resources that will be required to complete the development of the SurvayaCam product line.
The purchase price paid to TComm Limited consisted of (i) 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, having a value based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on the day prior to the acquisition, equal to approximately $42,500 and (ii) the payment of approximately $19,000 in cash. The purchase price was allocated to the fair value of assets and goodwill as follows:
         
Equipment
  $ 11,000  
 
Other Assets
    100  
 
Goodwill
    50,400  
 
 
     
Total
  $ 61,500

Table of Contents

As of January 31, 2005, management tested the goodwill for impairment and concluded that it had been impaired. Therefore, the Company has recognized a charge of $50,400 for the write-off of goodwill in the year ended July 31, 2005.
In addition, the Seller agreed not to compete with the business conducted by Pixaya for a period of two years from the closing date of the transaction. The Sale Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties. The Seller has agreed to indemnify Pixaya for any damages which may result from a breach of its warranties but only if the damages exceed approximately $20,000.
Pixaya had no significant revenues from its inception in November 2004 through July 31, 2007.
Unaudited pro forma results of operations for year ended July 31, 2005 assuming the Company had acquired the business and the related assets from the Seller as of the beginning of that year has not been presented because such information would not differ materially from the historical results of operations for such period.
Note 6 – Other issuances of common stock and stock options:
Authorized shares:
On April 26, 2006, the Company’s articles of incorporation were amended to increase the total number of common shares authorized for issuance from 250,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. As a result, the total number of shares of all classes of capital stock authorized for issuance by the Company increased from 200,000,000 shares to 550,440,000 shares with a par value of $.00001 per share, of which 50,000,000 shares are authorized for issuance as preferred stock, 500,000,000 shares are authorized for issuance as common stock, 400,000 shares are authorized for issuance as Series 2 Class B common stock and 40,000 shares are authorized for issuance as Series 3 Class B common stock.
The shares of Series 2 and Series 3 Class B common stock will be nonvoting, have dividend and liquidation rights equal to the Class A common stock and be redeemable. Redemption by the Company shall be mandatory within six months (or as soon thereafter as permitted by law) following the final resolution of any successor lawsuit brought by the Company relating to the subject matter of the Company’s now dismissed lawsuit against certain brokerage firms (JAG Media Holdings, Inc. v. A.G. Edwards & Sons, et al.) in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, which date shall be determined by the board of directors. The redemption price per share of the Series 2 Class B common stock will be the greater of (i) the par value of each share or (ii) the amount obtained by dividing (a) 90% of the net proceeds to the Company of such lawsuit after payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection with such lawsuit and all taxes on net income accrued or paid with respect to such amount by (b) the total number of shares of Series 2 Class B common outstanding. The redemption price per share of the Series 3 Class B common stock will be the greater of (i) the par value of each share or (ii) .0025% of 10% of the net proceeds to the Company of such lawsuit after payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection with such lawsuit and all taxes on net income accrued or paid with respect to such amount.
Since the value of the Series 2 and Series 3 Class B common stock is contingent upon the outcome of a pending or successor litigation, the Company recorded the shares of Series 2 and Series 3 Class B common stock that were originally issuable during the year ended July 31, 2003 at their total par value of $4.20. Since the Company will be required to distribute substantially all of the proceeds of the pending litigation to the holders of Series 2 and Series 3 Class B common stock, the Company has classified the shares as the equivalent of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and excluded their carrying value from stockholders’ equity in the accompanying July 31, 2007 and 2006 consolidated balance sheets pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.”
Issuance of common stock:
During the year ended July 31, 2007, YA Global converted $555,000 of the principal balance of the debentures discussed in Note 4 into 4,432,111 shares of the Company’s common stock.
On July 16, 2007, employees of the company exercised options to purchase 140,000 shares of common stock at $0.21 per share. The Company did not receive the proceeds of $29,400 until August 13, 2007 and, accordingly, the balance receivable was included in other current assets at July 31, 2007. On June 11, 2007, the Company received proceeds of $10,000 when a consultant exercised options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $0.05 per share. On February 21, 2007, the Company received proceeds of $4,000 when a consultant exercised the options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $0.02 per share.

On December 26, 2006 the Company issued a total of 180,000 shares of common stock with an aggregate fair value of $62,200 to certain employees for services, which was charged to general and administrative expense
As further explained in Note 4, during the year ended July 31, 2006, the Company terminated its Equity Line Agreement with YA Global and converted $250,000 of the principal of its $2,000,000 Promissory Note payable to YA Global into 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
During the year ended July 31, 2006, YA Global converted $75,000 of the principal balance of the debentures discussed in Note 4 into 404,955 shares of the Company’s common stock.
On March 4, 2005, the Company settled a dispute with a consultant in connection with his performance of various investment banking services for the Company. The claim was settled for $175,000, of which $100,000 was paid in cash and the balance was paid by issuing 250,000 shares of common stock with an aggregate fair value of $75,000. The cost of the settlement has been included in operations for the year ended July 31, 2005.
In November 2004, the Company issued 250,000 shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of TComm Limited (see Note 5).
Cancellation of common stock and stock options:
During the Company’s fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2006, the Company received the following from a stockholder: (i) instructions for the cancellation of an outstanding option to acquire 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; (ii) stock certificates and a stock power transferring back to the Company 3,506,248 shares of common stock; and (iii) a stock power to transfer back to the Company 7,981 shares of Series B common stock, all of which shares were cancelled by the Company resulting in an increase in additional paid-in capital and a decrease in the par value of common stock of $35. The Company paid no consideration for the return of such shares or cancellation of the option.
Stock options:
As of July 31, 2007, the Company has options outstanding for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of, effectively, common stock all of which were granted pursuant to the Company’s 1999 Long-term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) which provides for individual awards to officers, employees, directors, consultants and certain other individuals that may take the form of stock options and certain other types of awards for which the value is based in whole or in part upon the fair market value of, the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock that may be subject to all types of awards under the Incentive Plan as amended may not exceed 6,000,000 shares. The options typically vest upon grant but in no case later than two and one-half years after grant and expire the earlier of the tenth anniversary of the grant or the 90th day following termination of employment; provided that during such 90 day period the option will be exercisable only to the extent it was vested as of the date of such termination.
The Company has issued the options, from time to time, to employees as compensation and to nonemployees, including investment analysts and commentators that have entered into agreements to provide the Company with financial information that is released to subscribers, as consideration for consulting, professional and other services. As explained in Note 2, the Company has recognized the cost of such issuances based on the fair value of the options and other equity instruments issued over the periods in which the related services are rendered in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and, subsequent to July 31, 2006, SFAS 123(R). Accordingly, the cost of such equity instruments may be initially charged directly to compensation expense or to unearned compensation which is subsequently amortized to expense.
As of July 31, 2007, the Company has the ability to issue options to purchase 5,000,000 additional shares of common stock under the Incentive Plan.
The following table summarizes information about the number of shares of common stock subject to options that were outstanding at July 31, 2007 as a result of issuances of options to employees and nonemployees as compensation for services:

We have adopted the guidance of the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 that notes if share options have “plain vanilla” characteristics, a simplified method of estimating the expected life of the option may be employed temporarily. The simplified method utilizes the average of the vested term and the original contract term. Our short term historical experience with exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior supports this method for determining the option’s expected life.
When sufficient historical experience has been obtained, we will use such experience for future estimations of the expected life. The expected life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate with a maturity corresponding to the options expected life.
On July 11, 2007, the per share exercise prices of options to purchase 140,000 shares of common stock previously issued to employees was reduced from prices ranging from $0.50 to $1.00 to $0.21 to settle accrued compensation for these employees of $66,000. As required by SFAS 123(R), incremental compensation cost of approximately $4,000 was recognized for the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. As a result, the Company increased additional paid-in capital by $70,946. The fair value of the options at the date of the modification was determined assuming a risk free interest rate of 6.0% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility of 216.54%, an exercise price of $0.21 and a stock price when modified of $1.17 per share.
As of July 31, 2007, approximately $4,000 of expense related to such options has yet to be recognized.
Warrants issued:
During 2006, the Company issued warrants to purchase 12,000,000 shares of common stock in connection with debt financing (see Note 4) to YA Global. These warrants had per share exercise prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.80, will expire in May 2011 and had an aggregate fair value of approximately $3,834,000 when issued and approximately $11,387,000 and $2,744,000 as of July 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The following table summarizes information about the number of shares of common stock subject to warrants that were outstanding at July 31, 2007.

    Other Equity Transactions
 
    As explained in Notes 1 and 10, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with, among others, Cryptometrics, pursuant to which Cryptometrics would merge with a newly created subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Cryptometrics has paid various legal and accounting costs, totaling approximately $580,000 on behalf of the Company, that will not have to be repaid by the Company to Cryptometrics in the event that the merger is not successfully completed. The costs paid by Cryptometrics have been charged to operating expenses and the amounts received by the Company have been recorded as a capital contribution and included in additional paid-in capital.
 
Note 7 -   Employee benefit plans:
 
    The Company maintains a profit-sharing plan and a money purchase plan for the benefit of all eligible employees. The Company’s contributions to these defined contribution plans are made on a discretionary basis. The Company made no contributions to the plans in 2007, 2006 and 2005.
 
Note 8 -   Commitments and contingencies:
 
    Concentrations of credit risk:
 
    Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. From time to time the Company’s cash account balances exceed the Federal insurance limit of $100,000. The Company reduces its exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash deposits with major financial institutions and monitoring their credit ratings. Accordingly, management does not believe that the Company was exposed to significant credit risk at July 31, 2007.
 
    In addition, the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
 
    Employment agreements:
 
    In connection with the acquisition of Pixaya, Pixaya entered into employment agreements on November 24, 2004 with four individuals, all of whom were previously employed by Pixaya. The employment agreements have a term of three years and automatically renew unless terminated by either party. As a result, the Company’s obligations for cash payments under the employment agreements subsequent to July 31, 2007 are as follows:
           
  Year ending     Amount  
July 31, 2008
    $ 53,000  
 
       
    Leases:
 
    During 2007, 2006, and 2005, the Company had been leasing office space under month-to-month leases and noncancelable leases. Rent expense under all such leases, which were classified as operating leases, totaled approximately $26,000, $29,000 and $15,000 for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of July 31, 2007, the Company was not subject to any significant noncancelable office leases.
 
    Litigation:
 
    The Company is a party to various claims and lawsuits incidental to its business. In the opinion of management, it is probable that the resolution of such contingencies will not materially affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company in subsequent years.
 
    Bay Point Investment Partners, LLC (“Bay Point”) had threatened to commence litigation against the Company, certain of its officers and directors and others. The Bay Point claim related to its purchase of shares of the Company’s stock in private placements on December 10, 2002 and June 19, 2003. Bay Point alleged, among other things, various disclosure failings as well as the Company’s failure to register the shares it purchased in the June 19, 2003 private placement by the date provided in the placement agreement and to use the proceeds as Bay Point claims they were intended to be used. In May 2006, the Company settled its dispute with Bay Point by the payment of $250,000 for which it has received releases from Bay Point and other claimants. The cost of the settlement has been included in results of operations for the year ended July 31, 2006.
 
Note 9 -   Fair value of financial instruments:
 
   
The Company’s material financial instruments at July 31, 2007 for which disclosure of estimated fair value is required by certain accounting standards consisted of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and the loan payable to YA

Table of Contents

    Global. In the opinion of management, the financial instruments other than the loan payable were carried at values that approximated their fair values at July 31, 2007 because of their liquidity and/or their short-term maturities.
 
Note 10 -   Cryptometrics merger:
 
    As explained in Note 1, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement on December 27, 2005, that has been amended on various dates through September 18, 2007, with, among others, Cryptometrics pursuant to which Cryptometrics would merge with a newly created subsidiary of the Company. In consideration of the merger, the stockholders of Cryptometrics would acquire shares of common stock of the Company, which would, upon issuance, represent approximately 89.66% of the combined companies’ outstanding shares of common stock, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Cryptometrics. The shares of common stock to be received by the stockholders of Cryptometrics are being registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If consummated, the proposed transaction would be accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which Cryptometrics would be the acquirer for accounting purposes.
 
    At the closing of the proposed transaction, the Company’s current directors would resign as directors of the Company and would also resign as officers and executives of the Company. The Company’s board of directors would be replaced with designees of Cryptometrics.
 
    Until the Company and Cryptometrics agree otherwise, the Merger Agreement, notwithstanding approval by the Cryptometrics’ stockholders may be cancelled with or without any reason at any time by either of them with no liability.
 
    In addition, the proposed transaction is still subject to various conditions being satisfied prior to closing, including, among others, (i) the representations and warranties of the parties being true and correct, (ii) the Company’s common stock having been authorized for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or the OTC Pink Sheets, on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and (iii) the Company’s indebtedness not exceeding $4,350,000.
 
    There is no assurance that the Company or Cryptometrics will not cancel the Merger Agreement, that the conditions of the proposed transaction will be fulfilled and that the proposed transaction between the Company and Cryptometrics will be consummated. The Merger Agreement has an automatic termination date which the parties to it have extended from time to time, but they are under no obligation to do so. As explained in Notes 1 and 6, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Cryptometrics has paid various legal and accounting costs on behalf of the Company that will not have to be repaid by the Company to Cryptometrics in the event that the merger is not successfully completed. The costs paid by Cryptometrics have been charged to operating expenses and the amounts received by the Company have been recorded as a capital contribution and included in additional paid-in capital. Pursuant to various amendments to the Merger Agreement, if the transaction is terminated by the Company or for certain other reasons, under certain conditions the Company has agreed to issue Cryptometrics up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock in consideration for various costs aggregating $580,000 advanced and to be advanced by Cryptometrics for the account of the Company. In addition, in consideration of $167,660 of such advances, the Company granted a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty free license to Cryptometrics to use certain of the intellectual property of Pixaya.
 
    In connection with the proposed merger, on various dates from January 24, 2007 through September 18, 2007, the secured convertible debentures and warrants issued to YA Global were amended. As a result, on the date the proposed merger between the Company and Cryptometrics closes and becomes effective, (i) Cryptometrics will assume all of the rights and obligations under those amended agreements on behalf of the post-merger, combined company, and (ii) the secured convertible debentures would become convertible at a discount of 5% to the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the 30 trading days prior to the conversion date and the warrants issued to YA Global would become convertible at a discount of 12% to the average of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the 30 trading days prior to the exercise date.
 
Note 11 -   Restatement of Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
 
    In connection with the preparation of the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm brought to the attention of the management of the Company that certain of the Company’s legal and accounting costs which, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement with Cryptometrics were paid for by Cryptometrics, should have been charged to operating expenses and the amounts received by the Company should have been recorded as capital contributions and included in additional paid-in capital in the periods in which the costs were incurred (see Note 6). As a result, management completed an investigation focused on the Company’s accounting for all expenses paid for by Cryptometrics during the term of the Merger Agreement and determined that certain of the expenses should have been recorded in each of the quarters ended October 31, 2006, January 31, 2007 and April 30, 2007.

F-18


Table of Contents

    In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm brought to the attention of the management of the Company that the expected volatility factors used to determine the fair value of the derivative liabilities that were valued based on the Black-Scholes options pricing model were overstated during each of the first three quarters of the year ended July 31, 2007. As a result, management completed an investigation and determined that the volatility factors should have ranged from 223.697% to 229.281% instead of the 340.64% to 370.96% and, accordingly, the derivative liabilities recorded at the end of each of the quarters ended October 31, 2006, January 31, 2007 and April 30, 2007 were overstated and the gain or loss on change in derivative liability for each of the quarters then ended was understated or overstated.
 
    Upon completion of these investigations, management has identified certain adjustments related to the costs paid by Cryptometrics on behalf of the Company and the overstatement of the volatility factors that necessitate the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2007. Previously issued financial statements for those quarters should not be relied upon. The following tables reflect the impact of the restatements on each of the first three quarters in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007.

Note 1 — Basis of presentation
In the opinion of our management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of JAG Media Holdings, Inc. (“JAG Media”) and its subsidiaries as of October 31, 2007 (unaudited) and July 31, 2007, their results of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006 (restated), cash flows for the three months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006 and changes in stockholders’ deficiency for the three months ended October 31, 2007. JAG Media and its subsidiaries are referred to together herein as the “Company.” Pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from these consolidated financial statements unless significant changes have taken place since the end of the most recent fiscal year. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, notes to consolidated financial statements and the other information in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of July 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the years ended July 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 (the “Audited Financial Statements”) included elsewhere in this Consent Solicitation/Prospectus.
The results of the Company’s operations for the three months ended October 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending July 31, 2008.
As further explained in Note 1 to the Audited Financial Statements, the Company gathers and compiles financial and investment information from contacts at financial institutions and other Wall Street professionals and generates revenues by releasing such information to subscribers in a consolidated format on a timely basis through facsimile transmissions and a web site. As a result of an acquisition on November 24, 2004 (see Note 5 to the Audited Financial Statements), the Company is also in the business of developing related software focused on streaming video solutions. Development of these products has been limited as a result of the Company’s lack of financial resources. The business acquired had not generated any significant revenue as of the date of the acquisition or through October 31, 2007.
The Company is actively pursuing potential mergers. As further discussed in Note 10 to the Audited Financial Statements, on December 27, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger that has been amended on various dates through November 13, 2007, (the “Merger Agreement”) with, among others, Cryptometrics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cryptometrics”), pursuant to which Cryptometrics would merge with a newly created subsidiary of the Company. In consideration of the merger, the stockholders of Cryptometrics would acquire shares of common stock of the Company, which would, upon issuance, represent 89.66% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the combined companies in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Cryptometrics. There is no assurance that the proposed transaction will be consummated.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, as shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company only generated revenues of approximately $37,000, and it incurred losses from operations of approximately $412,000 and cash flow deficiencies from operating activities of approximately $261,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2007. In addition, as of October 31, 2007, the Company only had cash and cash equivalents available of approximately $138,000 and it had a working capital deficiency of approximately $9,550,000. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Note 1 — Basis of presentation (continued)
Management believes that, in the absence of a substantial increase in subscription revenues, it is probable that the Company will continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operating activities through at least October 31, 2008 and that the Company will need to obtain additional equity or debt financing to sustain its operations.
Management believes that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient financing directly through the consummation of the merger with Cryptometrics or through consummation of a merger with another appropriate merger candidate that has such financing, to enable it to continue as a going concern through at least October 31, 2008. However, if the Company cannot obtain sufficient additional financing by that date, the Company may be forced thereafter to restructure its operations, file for bankruptcy or entirely cease its operations.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 2 — Net earnings (loss) per share
The Company presents “basic” earnings (loss) per share and, if applicable, “diluted” earnings per share pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to that of basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, such as those issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and the conversion of outstanding convertible debentures were issued during the period and the treasury stock method had been applied to the proceeds from the exercise of the options and warrants and net income or loss was adjusted for interest on the convertible debentures.
As of October 31, 2007, there were stock options, warrants and convertible debentures outstanding for the purchase of a total of 750,000, 12,000,000 and 4,050,000 shares of common stock, respectively (see Notes 4 and 5 herein). The table below presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended October 31, 2007:

However, diluted per share amounts presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2006 are the same as basic per share amounts because the Company had a net loss in the three months ended October 31, 2006 and the assumed effects of the exercise of the Company’s stock options and warrants and the conversion of convertible debentures that were outstanding during all or part of those periods would have been anti-dilutive.
Note 3 — Income taxes
As of October 31, 2007, the Company had federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $35,759,000 available to reduce future federal taxable income which will expire from 2019 through 2027.
As of October 31, 2007, the Company’s deferred tax assets consisted of the effects of temporary differences attributable to the following:
         
Deferred revenues, net
  $ 9,000  
Unearned compensation
    20,000  
Net operating loss carryforwards

    13,472,000  
 
       
Less valuation allowance
    (13,472,000 )
 
     
Total
  $  
 
     
Due to the uncertainties related to, among other things, the extent and timing of its future taxable income, the Company offset its net deferred tax assets by an equivalent valuation allowance as of October 31, 2007.
The Company had also offset the potential benefits from its net deferred tax assets by an equivalent valuation allowance during the year ended July 31, 2007. As a result of increases in the valuation allowances of $173,000 and $208,000, during the three months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which were primarily attributable to the net income or loss incurred during each of those periods there are no provisions or credits for income taxes reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations to offset pre-tax income or losses.

Note 4 — Equity and debt financing agreements with YA Global Investments, L.P.:
As further explained in Note 4 to the Audited Financial Statements, on April 9, 2002, the Company entered into an equity line purchase agreement (the “Equity Line Agreement”) with YA Global Investments, L.P. (“YA Global”)(formerly known as Cornell Capital Partners, L.P.) pursuant to which the Company had, in effect, put options whereby, subject to certain conditions, it could have required YA Global to purchase shares of its common stock from time to time at an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000 through August 2006. The purchase price was to be 95% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock over a specified number of trading days commencing on specified dates. YA Global was entitled to a cash fee equal to 5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from YA Global in connection with each put. As of May 25, 2006, the date the Equity Line Agreement was effectively cancelled, $4,035,000 of the Company’s Equity Line with YA Global had been utilized.
On January 25, 2005, the Company entered into a Promissory Note Agreement with YA Global for a loan of $2,000,000. The $2,000,000 loan from YA Global was funded on February 2, 2005 net of a debt discount of $100,000 deducted at the time of funding which is being amortized over the original term of the loan. The unamortized debt discount was approximately $32,000 as of May 25, 2006 when a promissory note was converted into common stock and a secured convertible debenture. The face amount of the promissory note and interest on the amount from time to time outstanding at a rate of 12% per year was originally payable either (i) out of the net proceeds to be received by the Company upon delivery of put notices under the Equity Line Agreement or (ii) in full by the Company within 663 calendar days, subsequently extended to 753 calendar days, of January 25, 2005 regardless of the availability of proceeds under the Equity Line Agreement, unless an extension was mutually agreed to by the parties in writing.
Pursuant to the promissory note, the Company had agreed to deposit in escrow 35 put notices under the Equity Line Agreement for puts in an amount of $60,000 each and one request for a put under the Equity Line Agreement in an amount of $181,017. Under the terms of the promissory note as amended on August 5, 2005, the put notices were to have been held in escrow and released every 14 days commencing November 4, 2005.
All put notices were returned to the Company on May 25, 2006, when the Company terminated its Equity Line with YA Global, converted $250,000 of the principal of its $2,000,000 promissory note payable to YA Global into 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock which were issued on such date for which the fair value was $400,000, and converted the remaining principal amount of $1,750,000 and accrued interest of $150,000 on the promissory note into a secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $1,900,000. In addition, the Company issued similar secured convertible debentures to YA Global in the principal amounts of $1,250,000 on May 25, 2006 and $1,000,000 on May 31, 2006, which provided the Company with net proceeds of approximately $2,025,000 after fees and costs of $225,000 paid to YA Global which were recorded as part of the debt discount on the debentures. All the secured convertible debentures bear interest at the rate of 10% per year and mature three years after issuance. They are convertible through maturity into shares of the Company’s common stock as described below.
The Company was required to issue irrevocable transfer agent instructions relating to the issuance of stock certificates on conversion of the debentures or exercise of the warrants. The Company was also required to deliver on behalf of itself and its subsidiary, Pixaya LLC (formerly JAG Media LLC), security agreements executed by the Company and its subsidiary granting YA Global a security interest in all their respective assets. The Company and its subsidiary could not incur any further liens, declare a dividend, issue any guarantees or incur any new indebtedness in excess of $25,000 other than trade accounts payable. The security agreements terminate once a registration statement covering shares of common stock issuable upon conversion has been effective for 60 days and other conditions have been met. At such time, the security interest will automatically terminate provided the Company’s common stock is trading on the OTC Bulletin Board at a price above $0.08 per share and there has occurred no event of default under the convertible debentures. The security interest had not been terminated by YA Global as of October 31, 2007.
YA Global had the right to convert the debentures, at its sole option, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price which was the lower of (i) $0.40 per share or (ii) a 10% discount to the lowest volume weighted average price, as reported by Bloomberg L.P, of the Company’s common stock during the 30 trading days prior to the conversion date (see Note 7 herein).

F-34


Table of Contents

In connection with the foregoing May 25, 2006 transaction, the Company issued warrants to YA Global to purchase 12,000,000 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable through May 2011 at prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.80 per share (see Note 6 to the Audited Financial Statements, and Note 7 herein). The exercise price and number of shares issuable pursuant to each of the warrants are subject to antidilution provisions.
Since the conversion of the secured convertible debentures could have resulted in the issuance of an indeterminable number of common shares because they were convertible at a discount from the market price, the Company determined that based on the guidance in the consensus for EITF Issue No. 00-19 (“EITF 00-19”) “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock”, the Company was prohibited from concluding that it would have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares to net -share settle any of those warrants or any other warrants or options previously issued or granted to non-employees. Therefore, as of the date the secured convertible debentures and the related warrants were initially issued, the Company recorded the related fair value of all warrants issued with the debentures and options previously issued to non-employees as a liability as explained below. Subsequent changes in the fair value of such options and warrants at the end of each reporting period will be recorded as charges or credits to the Company’s results of operations.
As of July 31, 2006, the warrants for the purchase of 12,000,000 shares were valued at approximately $2,744,000 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 6% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility of 338.441%, exercise prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.80 per share, and the stock price of $0.23 per share when valued. As of October 31, 2006, the fair value of the warrants was recalculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 6% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility of 229.281%, exercise prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.80 per share, and the stock price of $0.20 per share when valued. This resulted in a decrease in the carrying value of the derivative liability of the warrants to approximately $2,253,000 and the recognition of unrealized gain on derivative liability of approximately $491,000 during the three months ended October 31, 2006.
As of July 31, 2007, the warrants for the purchase of 12,000,000 shares were valued at approximately $11,059,000 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 6% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility of 216.543%, exercise prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.80 per share, and the stock price of $0.95 per share when valued. As of October 31, 2007, the fair value of the warrants was recalculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 6% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility of 209.285%, exercise prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.80 per share, and the stock price of $0.82 per share when valued. This resulted in a decrease in the carrying value of the derivative liability of the warrants to approximately $9,069,000 and the recognition of unrealized gain on derivative liability of approximately $1,989,000 during the three months ended October 31, 2007.
The issuance of convertible debentures and warrants to YA Global also caused the Company to reclassify the fair value of 200,000 options issued to a consultant that were outstanding as of May 25, 2006 from stockholders’ equity to the derivative liability and include the fair value of all options and warrants subsequently granted to non-employees for services as a derivative liability until the options and warrants are exercised or expire. As of July 31, 2006, the outstanding options granted to the consultant were valued at approximately $46,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. On October 2, 2006, the Company granted options to another consultant with a fair value at the date of grant of approximately $36,000 which is being amortized over the service period. The fair value at the date of the grant was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 6% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility of 231.079%, an exercise price of $0.05 per share, and the stock price of $0.18 per share when issued. As of October 31, 2006, the fair value of all options granted to non-employees was recalculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions used for the valuation of the warrants described above. As a result, the Company recognized a derivative liability of $82,000 for the approximate fair value of non-employee options as of October 31, 2006, and unrealized gain on derivative liability of $4,000 for the net change in the fair value of options from July 31, 2006 and October 2, 2006 through October 31, 2006.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, YA Global converted debentures in the principal amounts of $1,600,000 and $200,000 into 4,000,000 and 1,683,083 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company recorded amortization of debt discount attributable to the debentures of approximately $125,000 and $369,000 during the three months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, including $0 and $200,000 which was accreted as a result of the conversions. As of October 31, 2007, the debentures had a net carrying value of approximately $1,132,000, reflecting the remaining outstanding principal balance due of $1,920,000 reduced by remaining unamortized debt discounts aggregating approximately $788,000.
From November 1 through January 30, 2008, YA Global converted debentures in the principal amount of $1,595,000 into 3,987,500 shares of the Company’s common stock. On January 31, 2008, JAG Media entered into a new letter agreement with YA Global pursuant to which YA Global on January 31, 2008 converted the remaining outstanding principal amount of $325,000 of JAG Media’s convertible debentures, as well as all accrued interest on such debentures, into 2,151,699 shares of JAG Media’s common stock and exercised a warrant for 700,000 shares of JAG Media’s common stock, providing Jag Media with $280,000 in cash proceeds. In addition, such new letter agreement amended the outstanding warrants to purchase 11,300,000 shares of JAG Media Common Stock so that their respective first exercise dates will be 30 trading days following the Closing of the Merger, March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008, September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008 and amended the exercise price of the warrants to be 88% of the average of the Volume Weighted Average Price of JAG Media’s common stock as quoted by Bloomberg during the 30 days immediately prior to the first date upon which each warrant may be exercised. Such amendments to the warrants will become ineffective on February 27, 2008 if the Closing of the Merger has not yet occurred by that date, unless the parties agree to extend such date.
Note 5 — Issuances of common stock and stock options and other equity transactions
Shares issued for services:
As explained in Note 6 to the Audited Financial Statements, the Company has issued, from time to time, common stock to employees as compensation and to non-employees, including investment analysts and commentators and other consultants that have entered into agreements to provide the Company with financial information that is released to subscribers, as consideration for consulting, professional and other services.
During the three months ended October 31, 2007, the Company issued a total of 150,000 shares of its common stock with an aggregate fair value of $96,000 to certain employees and consultants of which $25,600 was charged to general and administrative expense and $70,400 was recorded as other current assets and will be charged to general and administrative expense over the period in which the services are rendered.
Options issued for services:
As explained in Note 6 to the Audited Financial Statements, the Company has issued, from time to time, stock options for the purchase of common stock to employees as compensation and to non-employees, including investment analysts and commentators and other consultants that have entered into agreements to provide the Company with financial information that is released to subscribers, as consideration for consulting, professional and other services.
As of October 31, 2007, the Company has options outstanding for the purchase of 750,000 shares of, effectively, common stock all of which were granted pursuant to the Company’s 1999 Long-term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) which provides for individual awards to officers, employees, directors, consultants and certain other individuals that may take the form of stock options and certain other types of awards for which the value is based in whole or in part upon the fair market value of, the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock that may be subject to all types of awards under the Incentive Plan as amended may not exceed 6,000,000 shares. The options typically vest upon grant but in no case later than two and one-half years after grant and expire the

earlier of the tenth anniversary of the grant or the 90th day following termination of employment; provided that during such 90 day period the option will be exercisable only to the extent it was vested as of the date of such termination.
As explained in Note 2 to the Audited Financial Statements, through July 31, 2006, the Company recognized the cost of grants of options to employees and non-employees based on the fair value of the equity instruments at the date issued amortized over the periods in which the related services were rendered in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Accordingly, the Company had been estimating the fair value of stock options using an option-pricing model (generally, the Black-Scholes model) that meets the criteria set forth in SFAS 123 and common stock using its market value. It has been recording such value through charges to compensation cost and corresponding credits to equity. The charges to compensation cost are being amortized to expense over the vesting period. As required, effective August 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”) using the modified prospective application transition method. Because the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 123(R) are materially consistent, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) did not have a significant impact on the methods used by the Company to value and account for its options or its financial position and results of operations. In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), the Company reclassified previously unamortized unearned compensation of $34,870 from unearned compensation to additional paid-in capital as of the date of adoption. There was no charge to operations.
During the three months ended October 31, 2007, the Company issued options for the purchase of 655,000 shares of common stock to non-employees valued at approximately $240,179 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 6% annually, no dividend payments, annual volatility ranging from 210.949% to 216.543%, and exercise prices ranging from $0.60 to $0.86 per share when issued.
During the three months ended October 31, 2007, YA Global converted debentures in the principal amount of $1,600,000 into 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
During the three months ended October 31, 2007, consultants to the company exercised options to purchase 905,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.02 to $0.86. Proceeds of $78,750 for the exercise of options to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock at $.063 per share were not received until November 14, 2007 and, accordingly, the balance receivable was included in other current assets at October 31, 2007. The Company received proceeds of $398,200 upon the exercise of options to purchase 780,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at prices ranging from $0.02 to $0.86 during the three months ended October 31, 2007. As a result of the exercise of the options, the Company reclassified $295,502 from derivative liability to additional paid-in capital.
As of October 31, 2007, the Company has the ability to issue options to purchase an additional 5,250,000 shares of common stock under the Incentive Plan.

The fair value of each option granted by the Company in the three months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
                 
    Three Months Ended   Three Months Ended
    October 31, 2007   October 31, 2006
Risk-free interest rate
    6.00 %     6.00 %
Dividend yield
    0 %     0 %
Expected life
  3 months   5 years
Expected volatility factor
  210.949% to 216.543%     231.079 %
Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of our stock. We have adopted the guidance of the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 that notes if share options have “plain vanilla” characteristics, a simplified method of estimating the expected life of the option may be employed temporarily. The simplified method utilizes the average of the vested term and the original contract term. Our short term historical experience with exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior supports this method for determining the options’ expected life.
When sufficient historical experience has been obtained, we will use such experience for future estimations of the expected life. The expected life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate with a maturity corresponding to the options expected life.
As of October 31, 2007, approximately $1,000 of expense related to such options has yet to be recognized.
Other Equity Transactions
As explained in Notes 1 and 7 herein, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with, among others, Cryptometrics. Pursuant to the terms of the merger, Cryptometrics has paid various legal and accounting costs, totaling approximately $810,000 on behalf of the Company, including approximately $230,000 in the three months ended October 31, 2007, that will not have to be repaid by the Company to Cryptometrics in the event that the merger is not successfully completed. The costs paid by Cryptometrics have been charged to operating expenses and the amounts received by the Company have been recorded as a capital contribution and included in additional paid-in capital.
Note 6 — Litigation
The Company is a party to various claims and lawsuits incidental to its business. In the opinion of management, it is probable that the resolution of such contingencies will not materially affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company in subsequent years.

Note 7 — Cryptometrics merger
As explained in Notes 1 and 10 to the Audited Financial Statements and Note 1 herein, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement on December 27, 2005, which has been amended on various dates through February 6, 2008, with, among others, Cryptometrics pursuant to which Cryptometrics would merge with a newly created subsidiary of the Company. In consideration of the merger, the stockholders of Cryptometrics would acquire shares of common stock of the Company, which would, upon issuance, represent approximately 87% of the combined companies’ outstanding shares of common stock, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Cryptometrics. The shares of common stock to be received by the stockholders of Cryptometrics are being registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If consummated, the proposed transaction would be accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which Cryptometrics would be the acquirer for accounting purposes.
At the closing of the proposed transaction, the Company’s current directors would resign as directors of the Company and would also resign as officers and executives of the Company. The Company’s board of directors would be replaced with designees of Cryptometrics.
Until the Company and Cryptometrics agree otherwise, the Merger Agreement, notwithstanding approval by the Cryptometric’s stockholders, may be cancelled with or without any reason at any time by either of them with no liability.
In addition the proposed transaction is still subject to various conditions being satisfied prior to closing, including, among others, (i) the representations and warranties of the parties being true and correct, (ii) the Company’s common stock having been authorized for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or the OTC Pink Sheets, or the Nasdaq Capital Market, and (iii) the Company’s indebtedness not exceeding $4,350,000.
There is no assurance that the Company or Cryptometrics will not cancel the Merger Agreement, that the conditions of the proposed transaction will be fulfilled and that the proposed transaction between the Company and Cryptometrics will be consummated. The Merger Agreement has an automatic termination date which the parties to it have extended from time to time, but they are under no obligation to do so. As explained in Notes 1 and 6 to the Audited Financial Statements, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Cryptometrics has paid various legal and accounting costs on behalf of the Company that will not have to be repaid by the Company to Cryptometrics in the event that the merger is not successfully completed. The costs paid by Cryptometrics have been charged to operating expenses and the amounts received by the Company have been recorded as a capital contribution and included in additional paid-in capital. In addition, in consideration of $167,660 of such advances during the year ended July 31, 2007, the Company granted a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty free license to Cryptometrics to use certain of the intellectual property of its subsidiary, Pixaya (UK) Limited. The Company has agreed to pay its own expenses in the future.
In connection with the proposed merger, on various dates from January 24, 2007 through November 13, 2007, the secured convertible debentures and warrants issued to YA Global were amended. As a result, on the date the proposed merger between the Company and Cryptometrics closes and becomes effective, (i) Cryptometrics will assume all of the rights and obligations under those amended agreements on behalf of the post-merger, combined company, and (ii) the secured convertible debentures would become convertible at a discount of 5% to the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the 30 trading days prior to the conversion date and the warrants issued to YA Global would become convertible at a discount of 12% to the average of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the 30 trading days prior to the exercise date.

Note 8 — Restatement of Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
In connection with the preparation of the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm brought to the attention of the management of the Company that certain of the Company’s legal and accounting costs which, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement with Cryptometrics were paid for by Cryptometrics, should have been charged to operating expenses and the amounts received by the Company should have been recorded as capital contributions and included in additional paid-in capital in the periods in which the costs were incurred (see Notes 6 and 11 to the Audited Financial Statements). As a result, management completed an investigation focused on the Company’s accounting for all expenses paid for by Cryptometrics during the term of the Merger Agreement and determined that certain of the expenses should have been recorded in each of the quarters ended October 31, 2006, January 31, 2007 and April 30, 2007.
In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm brought to the attention of the management of the Company that the expected volatility factors used to determine the fair value of the derivative liabilities that were valued based on the Black-Scholes options pricing model were overstated during each of the first three quarters of the year ended July 31, 2007. As a result, management completed an investigation and determined that the volatility factors should have ranged from 223.697% to 229.281% instead of the 340.64% to 370.96% and, accordingly, the derivative liabilities recorded at the end of each of the quarters ended October 31, 2006, January 31, 2007 and April 30, 2007 were overstated and the gain or loss on change in derivative liability for each of the quarters then ended was understated or overstated.
Upon completion of these investigations, management has identified certain adjustments related to the costs paid by Cryptometrics on behalf of the Company and the overstatement of the volatility factors that necessitate the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2007. Previously issued financial statements for those quarters should not be relied upon. The following tables reflect the impact of the restatements for the quarter ended October 31, 2006.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders’ and
Board of Directors
Cryptometrics, Inc & subsidiary
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cryptometrics, Inc. & subsidiary as of April 30, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, change in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe the audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cryptometrics, Inc. & subsidiary as of April 30, 2007 and 2006, and the result of its operation and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware in May 2000 under the name Postal Hut, Inc. In November 2001, the Company changed its name to Cryptometrics, Inc.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cryptometrics Canada, Inc. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts therein. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns, goodwill and other intangible asset impairments, inventory allowances, warranty costs, revenue recognition as well as loss contingencies and restructurings. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Accounts Receivable
Based on the Company’s customer base and experience, the Company has not had material bad debts and therefore does not provide for an allowance for doubtful accounts, but expenses bad debts in the period of determination as to collectibility. Accounts receivable consists of the following at April 30:
                 
    2007     2006  
Billed
  $ 92,978     $ 60,360  
 
               
Unbilled
    50,000        
 
           
 
               
 
  $ 142,978     $ 60,360

Revenue Recognition Policy
Significant management judgments and estimates are made in connection with the revenues recognized in any accounting period. The Company must assess whether the fee associated with a revenue transaction is fixed or determinable and whether or not collection is probable. Material differences could result in the amount and timing of revenues for any period if management were to make different judgments or utilize different estimates.
Certain of the Company’s equipment sales such as its’ SecurIDent Systems generally require installation subsequent to shipment and transfer of title. The Company recognizes revenue on such sales in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, “Revenue Recognition”. Revenue related to equipment sales that are contingent on installation is deferred until installation is complete, title has transferred and customer acceptance has been obtained. The Company considers acceptance of the SecurIDent Systems contingent upon successful installation of the product. Revenues from sales of products via authorized representatives, dealers, distributors or other third party sales channels are recognized at the time of title transfer, generally upon shipment.
The Company also sells several stand-alone software products including Face Recognition Server, Face Processor and software developer kits. Revenue is recognized on software products in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended. The Company recognizes revenue on software products when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable and vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists to allocate the total fee to all undelivered elements of the arrangement and collection is deemed reasonably assured. VSOE of fair value is established based upon either sales of the element (e.g., maintenance, training or consulting) in individual transactions, or, in certain cases for maintenance, based upon substantive renewal rates. In cases where the Company does not have VSOE of fair value for all delivered elements in the transaction (e.g., for licenses), the fees from these multiple-element agreements are allocated using the residual value method. In circumstances when the software and services being sold include services to provide significant production, modification or customization of the software, and the services cannot be segregated into separate units of accounting, the Company accounts for the software sales under SOP 97-2 and SOP 81-1 “Accounting for performance of construction-type and certain production-type contracts”. In the cases where SOP 81-1 is applied, the Company uses the cost-to-cost percentage of completion method. Under this method, sales, including estimated earned fees or profits, are recorded based on the percentage that total costs incurred bear to total estimated costs. Maintenance revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the service period of the related agreement.

Stock-Based Compensation
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. The Company currently accounts for its stock-based compensation plans using the accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. Prior to November 1, 2005, the Company was not required to adopt the fair value based recognition provisions prescribed under SFAS No. 123, as amended, and elected only to comply with the disclosure requirements set forth in the statement which includes disclosing pro forma net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied. For periods subsequent to November 1, 2005, the Company is required to report the fair value of each option grant as a component of operating expense.
The effects of applying SFAS No. 123, as amended, in the above pro forma disclosures are not indicative of future amounts as they do not include the effects of awards granted prior to Fiscal 1996. Additionally, future amounts are likely to be affected by the number of grants awarded since additional awards are generally expected to be made at varying amounts.
During the year ended April 30, 2005, the Company granted options to certain of its employees to purchases 180,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares vest generally over a one-year period and can be exercised for ten years at an exercise price of $7 per share.
The pro forma net (loss) for the period prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(r) consists of the following:
                 
    Fiscal year ended April 30,  
    2007     2006  
Net loss
  $ (9,593,733 )   $ (6,929,981 )
Effect of stock options
          (38,800 )
 
           
 
               
Proforma net loss
  $ (9,593,733 )   $ (6,968,781 )
 
           
Proforma net loss per share
  $ (.80 )   $ (.61 )
 
           
The Company has not provided for income taxes for the stock options as the likelihood of realization of the additional net operating losses is uncertain.

Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. The Company provides for depreciation generally on a straight-line method by charges to income at rates based upon estimated recovery periods below. Cryptometrics Canada, Inc. provides for depreciation generally on the declining balance method by charges to income at rates based upon estimated recovery periods below.
     
Furniture
  5 to 7 years
Computer equipment
  3 to 5 years
Leasehold improvements

Income Taxes
The Company’s deferred income taxes are principally from the net operating losses and other timing differences. Income taxes are reported based upon Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”.
Cryptometrics Canada, Inc. claims research and development deductions and related investment tax credits for income tax purposes based on management’s interpretation of the applicable legislation in the Income Tax Act of Canada. These claims are subject to audit by the Canada Revenue Agency and any resulting adjustments would reduce the investment tax credits in the year. Tax credits are accrued when the related corporate income tax returns are prepared and when certainty of collection is assured. These credits are treated as a reduction of research and development costs.
Marketing
Marketing and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and aggregated approximately $2,896,502 and $2,706,796 for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Shipping
The Company classifies shipping costs as a component of selling expenses. Shipping costs were not material for the years ended April 30, 2007 and 2006.
Research and Development Costs
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. For research and development costs incurred in Canada, the Company claims research and development deductions and the related investment tax credits. These claims are subject to audit by the applicable tax authorities in Canada.

Patents and Trademarks
Patents pending and trademarks are capitalized as costs are incurred. Patents are amortized over a useful life of fifteen years commencing in the year of approval. Trademarks are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. The estimated amortizations for the Patents and Trademarks as of April 30, 2007 are as follows:
         
Year Ended        
April 30,        
2008
  $ 17,630

Indemnification Arrangements and Product Warranties
From time to time, the Company agrees to indemnify its customers against liability if the Company’s products infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. As of April 30, 2007, the Company was not subject to any pending litigation alleging that the Company’s products infringe the intellectual property rights of any third parties.
The Company offers a 90-day and one year warranty on various products and services. The majority of the warranty liability that the Company has recorded is due to one-year warranties. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranties and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the product is sold. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains substantially all its cash balances in a limited number of financial institutions. The balances in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At April 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company’s uninsured cash balances totaled $8,753,949 and $7,322,734, respectively.
The Company had one customer in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 which accounted for approximately 85% of annual revenue. In the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006, two customers accounted for approximately 56% and 40% of revenues.

Fair Value
The Company has a number of financial instruments, none of which is held for trading purposes. The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at April 30, 2007 and 2006 does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of these financial instruments recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessarily required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value, and,
accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances on hand and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Short-term investments are highly liquid marketable securities with maturities of greater then three months but less than one year. The market value of the short-term investments is essentially the same as cost, therefore the Company has not recorded any unrealized gains or losses on these investments.
Goodwill
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations”, and No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the rules, the pooling of interests method of accounting for acquisitions is no longer allowed and goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements.
The Company’s goodwill arose from its purchase of the common stock of Cryptometrics Canada, Inc. and totaled $10,500,000. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, the Company incurred additional costs totaling $200,000 which have been added to the goodwill. Upon acquisition and at the years ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company performed its required tests for impairment and has determined no impairment is required on each of those dates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements of the Company’s subsidiary are translated pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52 — “Foreign Currency Translation.” In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 52, the functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the current rate of exchange and income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Loss per share
Loss per share for the years ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding and also was adjusted for the assumed conversion of shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and the assumed conversion of the convertible debt in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. The Company had a net loss for the years ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 and, accordingly, potential dilutive common shares are excluded from this computation for such year as the effect would be anti-dilutive. The total potential dilutive common shares excluded from this computation totaled 2,716,816 and 716,816 in the fiscal years ended April 30, 2007, and 2006, respectively.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs are the costs incurred relating to the convertible notes. The costs are amortized over the term of the related indebtedness.
Recently Issued Pronouncements
In February 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“FASB No. 155”). FASB No. 155 amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. FASB No. 155 resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.”
FASB No. 155:
a.   Permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation
 
b.   Clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133
 
c.   Establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation
 
d.   Clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives
 
e.   Amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.

Recently Issued Pronouncements (continued)
FASB No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The fair value election provided for in paragraph 4(c) of FASB No. 155 may also be applied upon adoption of FASB No. 155 for hybrid financial instruments that had been bifurcated under paragraph 12 of Statement 133 prior to the adoption of FASB No. 155. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including financial statements for any interim period for that fiscal year. Provisions of FASB No. 155 may be applied to instruments that an entity holds at the date of adoption on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
At adoption, any difference between the total carrying amount of the individual components of the existing bifurcated hybrid financial instrument and the fair value of the combined hybrid financial instrument should be recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be disclosed gross (that is, aggregating gain positions separate from loss positions) determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Prior periods should not be restated. The Company does not believe there will be any effect on the financial statements upon adopting FASB No. 155.
In March 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (FASB Statement No. 156”). FASB No. 156 amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. FASB No. 156 is effective for years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company does not believe FASB No. 156 will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FASB No. 157”). FASB No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice.
FASB No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The Company is currently reviewing the potential effect of this statement on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R” (“FASB No. 158”). This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions.
An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The Company does not believe FASB No. 158 will have any material effect on its financial statements.
Note 2. Restatement and Reclassification of Previously Issued Financial Statements
     The Company’s previously issued balance sheets, statements of operations, and cash flows for the fiscal year ended have been restated to correct for certain accounting errors in the following area:
     Convertible debentures
     The Company had previously recorded the debt as a conventional convertible debt. Subsequently the Company determined that the embedded derivatives within the convertible debenture agreement should be reported as embedded derivatives pursuant to FASB statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and the Company also determined that these embedded derivatives do not meet the requirements for treatment of derivatives as equity instruments.

Note 3. Acquisition
On March 9, 2004, the Company acquired BioDentity Systems, an Ottawa, Ontario Canada based company that specializes in facial recognition and image analysis hardware and software products. In September 2005, Biodentity Systems changed its name to Cryptometrics Canada, Inc. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the Company issued 1,382,957 shares of the Company’s common stock and options and warrants to purchase up to 117,043 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.06 Canadian per share ($.05 US at April 30, 2005). The Company valued these shares at $7 per share. The share price was based on other contemporaneous equity offerings. The Company valued the options and warrants at $7 also as the exercise price was less than one cent.

Note 11 — Common Stock Offerings
Through a series of offerings of the Company’s common stock, the Company has raised approximately $25,300,000. These offerings were exempt from securities registration pursuant to several different exemptions. Among other provisions, the underwriters were granted warrants to purchase up to 536,816 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.35. The warrants are exercisable for a five-year period.
Note 12 — Convertible Debenture
On October 19, 2006 the Company closed a private placement through the issuance of a convertible debenture for $12,000,000. Among other provisions, the loan incurs interest at a rate of 8.25% per annum to be paid semi-annually and the term is the shorter of 18 months from the closing date or the date of the full conversion of the loan. The loan is convertible by the holder in totality or in part, into registered common shares of the Corporation or any future merged shares at a conversion price that ranges from 70% to 80% of the weighted average share price. If the Company does not close on the merger (as discussed in Note 14), or its shares are not listed on a public stock exchange, or no initial public offering has occurred within 12 months, the loan may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at $10 per share. The debenture agreement also provides the lender with certain piggy-back registration rights and anti-dilution provisions.
As part of the loan, upon closing, the Company has agreed to issue 2,000,000 warrants, for common shares upon the completion of the proposed merger with Jag Media Holdings, Inc. (Note 14). The exercise price for 400,000 of the warrants is $4.00 per share for a five year period from the closing date of the loan. The exercise price for the remaining warrants is between $3.00 and $6.00 per share and the exercise period is 18 months from the first day the Company is publicly traded. If the Company is not trading on any stock exchange within 12 months, the warrants shall be decreased to 876,000 warrants, which may be exercised for common shares of the Borrower at $7.25 per share.

Note 12 — Convertible Debenture (continued)
In connection with the issuance of the warrants and beneficial conversion feature, the Company has reflected a value at April 30, 2007 for the warrants of $253,342 and a beneficial conversion feature value of $2,936,664. The fair value of the warrant grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 10%, risk free interest rate of between 4.59% and 4.93%; and expected lives of between 1.5 to 5 years. The warrants and beneficial conversion feature have been reported as an embedded derivative and has been reflected as a derivative liability as the warrants and beneficial conversion feature do not meet the requirements to be classified as equity. The embedded derivatives are revalued each reporting period and the gain or loss included in the statement of operations. For the period ended April 30, 2007, the Company reported a gain on these derivatives totaling $19,944.
Note 13 — Related Party Transaction
In April 2007 senior executives of CryptoMetrics, Inc., as owners of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company, established BioDentity Systems, LLC (“BioDentity”), a limited liability company domiciled in Abu Dhabi and incorporated in accordance with the commercial laws of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The shareholders of record of the Company as of May 1, 2007 beneficially own 49% of the outstanding shares of BioDentity. The remaining 51% is held by a locally domiciled nominee entity, as required by the commercial laws of the UAE.
BioDentity Systems was established with the objective and intention of providing the UAE with technology for protecting critical infrastructure and key asset comprehensive security solutions.
Through an Exclusive Provider Agreement (“EPA”) BioDentity agreed, among other provisions, to grant CryptoMetrics the exclusive right, in perpetuity, to provide all the technology and operational support for the implementation and deployment of such technology and support toward the above stated objective. CryptoMetrics is to provide a license to BioDentity to utilize its technology in the UAE and has agreed to assist BioDentity with all of the requirements for the development, contractual arrangements, implementations and deployments of a National Infrastructure Security (“NISEC”) System within the UAE.
In consideration of and an integral part of the EPA, CryptoMetrics agreed to make interest free advances to BioDentity up to $1,000,000 to fund start-up costs and initial working capital requirements, as needed. BioDentity is to repay, within the first full year of operations, any such advances, as well as any and all amounts expended and/or advanced by CryptoMetrics on behalf of BioDentity in furtherance of the final implementation and deployment of a NISEC System, including all necessary contractual agreements and arrangements.

Note 13 — Related Party Transaction (continued)
BioDentity has entered into a Letter Of Intent (“LOI”) with third parties in the UAE, whereby, among other provisions, BioDentity would potentially act as the prime contractor, technical solutions integrator of a NISEC System in the UAE and exclusively use CryptoMetrics’ products, solutions and services. The LOI sets forth a series of payments up to $2,300,000, to be made by BioDentity linked to a number of successive milestones toward accomplishing the final objective.
As of April 30, 2007, CryptoMetrics advanced $50,000 for the establishment of BioDentity pursuant to the EPA. Additionally, the Company advanced $525,000 on behalf of BioDentity based on the completion of certain of the milestones as set forth in the LOI.
Subsequent to April 30, 2007 and through August 17, 2007, CryptoMetrics advanced to and on behalf of BioDentity pursuant to the EPA and LOI a total of $1,145,000.
Note 14 — Proposed Acquisition
On December 27, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Jag Media Holdings Inc. (“Jag Media”), pursuant to which Cryptometrics would merge with a newly created subsidiary of Jag Media. In consideration of the merger, the stockholders of Cryptometrics would acquire shares of common stock of Jag Media, which shares would, upon issuance, represent approximately 88% of the outstanding Company common stock, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Cryptometrics. The shares of common stock to be received by the stockholders of Cryptometrics are to be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If consummated, the proposed transaction would be accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which Cryptometrics would be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The Merger Agreement, among other provisions, provides that either party can terminate the agreement at any time, without penalty.
At the closing of the proposed transaction, Jag Media’s current directors would resign as directors and would also resign as officers and executives of the new Company. Jag Media’s board of directors would be replaced with designees of Cryptometrics.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cryptometrics and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cryptometrics Canada, Inc. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared, without audit, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB for interim financial reporting pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. While these statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the filings on Form S-4 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007, made in conjunction with the proposed merger with JAG Media Holdings, Inc.
The results and trends on these interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006 may not be representative of those for the full fiscal years, or any future periods.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts therein. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns, goodwill and other intangible asset impairments, inventory

allowances,warranty costs, revenue recognition as well as loss contingencies and restructurings. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Accounts Receivable
Based on Cryptometric’s customer base and experience, Cryptometrics has not had material bad debts and therefore does not provide for an allowance for doubtful accounts, but expenses bad debts in the period of determination as to collectibility.
Revenue Recognition Policy
Significant management judgments and estimates are made in connection with the revenues recognized in any accounting period. Cryptometrics must assess whether the fee associated with a revenue transaction is fixed or determinable and whether or not collection is probable. Material differences could result in the amount and timing of revenues for any period if management were to make different judgments or utilize different estimates.
Certain of Cryptometric’s equipment sales such as its’ SecurIDent Systems generally require installation subsequent to shipment and transfer of title. Cryptometrics recognizes revenue on such sales in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, “Revenue Recognition”. Revenue related to equipment sales that are contingent on installation is deferred until installation is complete, title has transferred and customer acceptance has been obtained. Cryptometrics considers acceptance of the SecurIDent Systems contingent upon successful installation of the product. Revenues from sales of products via authorized representatives, dealers, distributors or other third party sales channels are recognized at the time of title transfer, generally upon shipment.
Cryptometrics also sells several stand-alone software products including Face Recognition Server, Face Processor and software developer kits. Revenue is recognized on software products in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended. Cryptometrics recognizes revenue on software products when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable and vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists to allocate the total fee to all undelivered elements of the arrangement and collection is deemed reasonably assured. VSOE of fair value is established based upon either sales of the element (e.g., maintenance, training or consulting) in individual transactions, or, in certain cases for maintenance, based upon substantive renewal rates. In cases where Cryptometrics does not have VSOE of fair value for all delivered elements in the transaction (e.g., for licenses), the fees from these multiple-element agreements are allocated using the residual value method. In circumstances when the software and services being sold include services to provide significant production, modification or customization of the software and the services cannot be segregated into separate units of accounting, Cryptometrics accounts for the software sales under SOP 97-2 and SOP 81-1 “Accounting for performance of construction-type and certain production-type contracts”. In the cases where SOP 81-1 is applied, Cryptometrics uses the cost-to-cost percentage of

completion method. Under this method, sales, including estimated earned fees or profits, are recorded based on the percentage that total costs incurred bear to total estimated costs. Maintenance revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the service period of the related agreement.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Cryptometrics provides for depreciation generally on a straight-line method by charges to income at rates based upon estimated recovery periods below. Cryptometrics Canada, Inc. provides for depreciation generally on the declining balance method by charges to income at rates based upon estimated recovery periods below.

Income Taxes
Cryptometrics deferred income taxes are principally from the net operating losses and other timing differences. Income taxes are reported based upon Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”.
Cryptometrics Canada, Inc. claims research and development deductions and related investment tax credits for income tax purposes based on management’s interpretation of the applicable legislation in the Income Tax Act of Canada. These claims are subject to audit by the Canada Revenue Agency and any resulting adjustments would reduce the investment tax credits in the year. Tax credits are accrued when the related corporate income tax returns are prepared and when certainty of collection is assured. These credits are treated as a reduction of research and development costs.
Research and Development Costs
Cryptometrics expenses research and development costs as incurred. For research and development costs incurred in Canada, Cryptometrics claims research and development deductions and the related investment tax credits. These claims are subject to audit by the applicable tax authorities in Canada.
Patents and Trademarks
Patents pending and trademarks are capitalized as costs are incurred. Patents are amortized over a useful life of fifteen years commencing in the year of approval. Trademarks are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Indemnification Arrangements and Product Warranties
From time to time, Cryptometrics agrees to indemnify its customers against liability if Cryptometrics products infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. As of October 31, 2007, Cryptometrics was not subject to any pending litigation alleging that Cryptometrics products infringe the intellectual property rights of any third parties.
Cryptometrics offers a 90-day and one year warranty on various products and services. The majority of the warranty liability that Cryptometrics has recorded is due to one-year warranties. Cryptometrics estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranties and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the product is sold. Factors that affect Cryptometrics warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject Cryptometrics to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. Cryptometrics maintains substantially all its cash balances in a limited number of financial institutions. The balances in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.
Fair Value
Cryptometrics has a number of financial instruments, none of which is held for trading purposes. Cryptometrics estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at October 31, 2007 and April 30, 2007 does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of these financial instruments recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by Cryptometrics using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessarily required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value, and, accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that Cryptometrics could realize in a current market exchange
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances on hand and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Short-term investments are highly liquid marketable securities with maturities of greater then three months but less than one year. The market value of the short-term investments is essentially the same as cost; therefore Cryptometrics has not recorded any unrealized gains or losses on these investments.
Goodwill
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations”, and No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”,

F-73

effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the rules, the pooling of interests method of accounting for acquisitions is no longer allowed and goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements.
Cryptometrics goodwill arose from its purchase of the common stock of Cryptometrics Canada, Inc. and totaled $10,500,000. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, Cryptometrics incurred additional costs totaling $200,000 which have been added to the goodwill. Upon acquisition and at the year ended April 30, 2007, Cryptometrics performed its required tests for impairment and has determined no impairment is required on each of those dates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements of Cryptometrics’ subsidiary are translated pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52 — “Foreign Currency Translation.” In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 52, the functional currency for Cryptometrics foreign operations is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the current rate of exchange and income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
Loss per share
Loss per share for the fiscal second quarter and six months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006 was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding and also was adjusted for the assumed conversion of shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and the assumed conversion of the convertible debt in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Cryptometrics had a net loss for the fiscal second quarter and six months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006 and, accordingly, potential dilutive common shares are excluded from this computation for such year as the effect would be anti-dilutive. The total potential dilutive common shares excluded from this computation totaled 2,716,816 and 716,816 in the second quarter and six months ended October 31, 2007, and 2006, respectively.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs are the costs incurred relating to the convertible notes. The costs are amortized over the term of the related indebtedness.

Note 4 — Related Party Transaction
In April 2007 senior executives of Cryptometrics, Inc., as owners of a majority of the outstanding shares of Cryptometrics, established Biodentity Systems, LLC (“Biodentity”), a limited liability company domiciled in Abu Dhabi and incorporated in accordance with the commercial laws of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The shareholders of record of Cryptometrics as of May 1, 2007 beneficially own 49% of the outstanding shares of Biodentity. The remaining 51% is held by a locally domiciled nominee entity, as required by the commercial laws of the UAE.
Biodentity Systems was established with the objective and intention of providing the UAE with technology for protecting critical infrastructure and key asset comprehensive security solutions.
Through an Exclusive Provider Agreement (“EPA”) Biodentity agreed, among other provisions, to grant Cryptometrics the exclusive right, in perpetuity, to provide all the technology and operational support for the implementation and deployment of such technology and support toward the above stated objective. Cryptometrics is to provide a license to Biodentity to utilize its technology in the UAE and has agreed to assist Biodentity with all of the requirements for the development, contractual arrangements, implementations and deployments of a National Infrastructure Security (“NISEC”) System within the UAE.
In consideration of and an integral part of the EPA, Cryptometrics agreed to make interest free advances to Biodentity up to $1,000,000 to fund start-up costs and initial working capital requirements, as needed. Biodentity is to repay, within the first full year of operations, any such advances, as well as any and all amounts expended and/or advanced by Cryptometrics on behalf of Biodentity in furtherance of the final implementation and deployment of a NISEC System, including all necessary contractual agreements and arrangements.
Biodentity has entered into a Letter Of Intent (“LOI”) with third parties in the UAE, whereby, among other provisions, Biodentity would potentially act as the prime contractor, technical solutions integrator of a NISEC System in the UAE and exclusively use Cryptometrics’ products, solutions and

October 31, 2007
services. The LOI sets forth a series of payments up to $2,300,000, to be made by Biodentity linked to a number of successive milestones toward accomplishing the final objective.
As of October 31, 2007 Cryptometrics advanced to and on behalf of Biodentity pursuant to the EPA and LOI a total of $2,120,000.
In addition, on September 21, 2007 Cryptometrics deposited $1,510,184 with Biodentity’s bank in the UAE in order to secure a Bid Bond posted by the bank for Biodentity’s eligibility to bid on a UAE project. The deposit was funded by a one-time borrowing from Cryptometrics’ bank in the United States. It is anticipated that the deposit will be released by Biodentity’s bank and returned to Cryptometrics no later than January 31, 2008 at which time Cryptometrics’ borrowing will be fully extinguished. As of October 31, 2007, Cryptometrics accrued interest associated with this borrowing was $5,840.
Note 5 — Proposed Acquisition
On December 27, 2005, Cryptometrics entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Jag Media Holdings Inc. (“Jag Media”), pursuant to which Cryptometrics would merge with a newly created subsidiary of Jag Media. In consideration of the merger, the stockholders of Cryptometrics would acquire shares of common stock of Jag Media, which shares would, upon issuance, represent approximately 87% of the outstanding company common stock, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Cryptometrics. The shares of common stock to be received by the stockholders of Cryptometrics are to be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If consummated, the proposed transaction would be accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which Cryptometrics would be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The Merger Agreement, among other provisions, provides that either party can terminate the agreement at any time, without penalty.
At the closing of the proposed transaction, Jag Media’s current directors would resign as directors and would also resign as officers and executives of the new company. Jag Media’s board of directors would be replaced with designees of Cryptometrics.

     The holders of all shares of common stock of Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Company Common Stock”) (each such share of Company Common Stock, a “Company Share”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, including as outstanding for this purpose the total number of shares of Company Common Stock for which outstanding exchangeable shares of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary can be exchanged (“Outstanding Company Common Stock” and each an “Outstanding Company Share”) shall be entitled to receive shares of fully paid and nonassessable common stock of Parent, par value $0.00001 per share (“Parent Common Stock”) equal to 7.4656 times the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time of the Merger, (i) excluding all shares of Parent Common Stock held in the treasury of Parent, and (ii) excluding all shares of Series 2 and Series 3 Class B common stock outstanding, but (iii) including as outstanding the relevant number of shares of Parent Company stock into which shares of Parent which are still outstanding and can be converted (but have not yet been converted) by virtue of recapitalizations carried out by Parent (the “Merger Consideration”).
          (a) Each Outstanding Company Share shall be converted into the right to receive and become exchangeable, as provided in Section 2.2 hereof, for the number of shares of Parent Common Stock represented by the quotient obtained by dividing the Merger Consideration by the total number of shares of Outstanding Company Common Stock (the “Exchange Multiple”), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.2(f).
          (b) Each share of Company Common Stock held in Company’s treasury shares immediately prior to the Effective Time and each share owned by any subsidiary of Company shall not represent the right to receive any Merger Consideration, and each such share shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no cash, securities or other property shall be payable in respect thereof;

In the event that the value of the fractional share of Parent Common Stock to be issued by virtue of the Merger to a Company Stockholder exceeds One Dollar ($1.00), any such Company Stockholder entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share in an amount determined by Parent to be equal to such fraction multiplied by the arithmetic mean of the closing prices of Parent Common Stock on the Pink Sheets LLC over the twenty (20) trading days ending three (3) trading days prior to the Closing.

In the event that any amount is payable to any Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.1(e), Parent shall also deposit with the Exchange Agent cash in an amount sufficient to make the payments in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.1(e). The certificates, together with any cash in dividends or distributions with respect thereto and any cash made available in lieu of fractional shares, are hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”.
          (b) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of Company Shares a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall be in customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Company Shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the certificates representing Company Shares (“Certificates”) to the Exchange Agent) for use in exchanging Company Shares for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such Company Shares. Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Company Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and payment in lieu of fractional shares which such holder is

Table of Contents

entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(e) in the event that the fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued by virtue of the Merger to Company Stockholders exceeds an aggregate cash amount of One Dollar ($1.00) and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.3 and the Certificate so surrendered forthwith shall be canceled.
          (c) In the event of a transfer of Company Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of Company, shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for Company Shares pursuant to Section 2.1 may be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is surrendered, if (i) such Certificate is properly endorsed or is otherwise in proper form for transfer and (ii) the Person requesting such issuance pays to the Exchange Agent any and all Taxes required as a result of the issuance to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate or establishes by evidence satisfactory to the Exchange Agent that any such Taxes have been paid or are not payable. Until surrendered or transferred as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate (other than Certificates representing Dissenting Shares) shall represent at all times after the Effective Time solely the right to receive, upon such surrender or transfer, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Merger Consideration (together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.1(f) and/or Section 2.3) in respect of Company Common Stock represented thereby.
          (d) All shares of Parent Common Stock issued in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1(e) and/or Section 2.3) upon surrender of the Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to Company Shares theretofore represented by Certificates. At the close of business at 5:00 pm on the day immediately preceding the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Shares thereafter on the records of Company. From and after the Effective Time, Company Stockholders shall cease to have any rights with respect to Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or Parent for any reason shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for in Section 2.1 (and any amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.1(f) and/or Section 2.3).
          (e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to Company Stockholders for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be redelivered to Parent, and any Company Stockholders who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for the Merger Consideration to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 2.1 (and any amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.1(f) and/or Section 2.3). Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by Company Stockholders as of a date that is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any government entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any Company Stockholder for shares of Parent Common Stock, cash or other property delivered from the Exchange Fund to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

If any Company Stockholder shall fail to perfect or shall effectively withdraw or lose his right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL, as the case may be, each share of Company Common Stock held by such Company Stockholder shall thereupon, in accordance with and subject to the provisions set forth in this Article II, represent the right to receive its portion of the Merger Consideration.
          (b) Both Company and Parent, as the case may be, shall give one another prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by Company or Parent, withdrawals of such demands and any other communications received by Company or Parent in connection with any demands for appraisal.

To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of Company Common Stock or Dissenting Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

     2.8 Company Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option outstanding shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Company or the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent (each, a “Replacement Option”). To the extent that they replace options which qualify as incentive stock options,each Replacement Option will be intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under the Code (although Parent makes no representation and warranty whatsoever that such options will so qualify).

Parent shall reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Replacement Options granted in accordance with this Section 2.8. “Company Stock Option” means an option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock.

Any restriction on exercise of any Company Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, schedule and other provisions of such Company Warrant shall continue in full force and effect. At or prior to the Effective Time, Company shall take all reasonable action, if any, necessary with respect to each Company Warrant to permit the replacement of such Company Warrant by Parent pursuant to this Section 2.9 and to ensure that holders of Company Warrants have no rights with respect thereto greater than those specifically provided herein.

(or issuable pursuant to outstanding options or warrants therefor) which is exchangeable for Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Exchangeable Share”) shall be converted into the right to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Exchangeable Share, provided the relevant Company Exchangeable Share does not otherwise provide, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Exchangeable Share multiplied by the Exchange Multiple.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 8, 2005 (the “MERGER AGREEMENT”), by and among JAG Media Holdings, Inc. (“PARENT”), Cryptometrics Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“MERGER SUB”) and the Company, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “MERGER”) and the Company, as the entity surviving the Merger, will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, Parent that in the event that it receives any Parent Common Stock as a result of the Merger:
 
A. The undersigned shall not make any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Parent Common Stock in violation of the Act or the Rules and Regulations.
 
B. The undersigned has carefully read this letter, the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreement (defined below) and discussed the requirements of these documents and other applicable limitations upon the undersigned’s ability to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Parent Common Stock, to the extent the undersigned deemed necessary, with his or her counsel or counsel for the Company.
 
C. The undersigned has been advised that any issuance of Parent Common Stock to him or her pursuant to the Merger has been, or will be, registered with the Commission under the Act on a registration statement on a Form S-4. However, the undersigned has also been advised that, since at the time the Merger was submitted for a vote of the stockholders of the Company, (1) the undersigned may be deemed to have been an affiliate of the Company and (2) except as set forth in the Company Voting and Lock-Up Agreement dated as of December 8, 2005, by and among Parent, Robert Barra and Michael A. Vitale (the “Voting Agreement”), the undersigned may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Parent Common Stock issued to it in the Merger unless (a) such sale, transfer or other disposition has been registered under the Act, (b) such sale, transfer or other disposition is made in conformity with Rule 145 (as that rule may be hereafter amended) promulgated by the Commission under the Act, or (c) Parent shall have received either an opinion of counsel or a “no action” letter obtained by the undersigned from the staff of the Commission, to the effect that such sale, transfer or other disposition is otherwise exempt from registration under the Act.

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION TO WHICH RULE 145 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), APPLIES, AND MAY ONLY BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 145 OR PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT.”
 
E. The undersigned also understands that unless the transfer by it of Parent Common Stock has been registered under the Act or is a sale made in conformity with the provisions of Rule 145, Parent reserves the right to place the following legend on the certificates issued to the undersigned’s transferee:

THE SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED BY THE HOLDER NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR FOR RESALE IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY DISTRIBUTION THEREOF WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE ACT, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THAT ACT OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT.”

2. Sub-section (B) of Section 2.2 (g) of the Merger Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and a new sub-section (B) shall be substituted therefore, which shall read as follows:

Accordingly, Sections 8.1 (e) and 9.1 (a) (iv) (C) are deleted in their entirety and new provisions shall be substituted therefore, which shall read as follows:
 
8.1 (e) The shares of Parent Common Stock shall have been authorized for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) or the OTC Pink Sheets (“Pink Sheets”) whether or not such authorization shall have been cancelled.

(D) Notwithstanding (i) anything to the contrary set forth in this agreement and (ii) receipt by Escrow Agent of any instructions from Cryptometrics to release the Merger Documents from escrow, Escrow Agent shall not release the Merger Documents from escrow prior to the expiration of fifteen (15) days from the date the Consent Solicitation and Prospectus included in the Post-Effective Amendment is mailed by Cryptometrics to its stockholders.
 
(E) Escrow Agent’s duties and liabilities shall be limited as follows:

(iv) In the event of any disagreement relating to the Merger Documents or the disposition thereof resulting in adverse claims or demands being made in connection with the Merger Documents, or in the event that the Escrow Agent is in doubt as to what action it should take hereunder, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to retain the Merger Documents until Escrow Agent shall have received a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing delivery of the Merger Documents, in which event Escrow Agent shall deliver the Merger Documents in accordance with such order without further question. If a proceeding for such determination is not begun and diligently continued, Escrow Agent may make an ex parte application, or bring any appropriate action, for leave to deposit the Merger Documents in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York seeking such determination or such declaratory relief as Escrow Agent shall deem reasonably necessary under the circumstances, and the parties each hereby irrevocably consent to the entering of an ex parte order pursuant to all applicable laws, rules and procedures of the State of New York and such court. Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed by Cryptometrics and JAG Media for all of Escrow Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses of such action or proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, which reimbursable costs and expenses shall be shared equally by Cryptometrics and JAG Media.
 
(v) Escrow Agent may at any time resign by giving ten (10) days written notice of resignation to JAG Media and Cryptometrics. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, JAG Media and Cryptometrics shall promptly appoint a successor and, upon the acceptance by the successor of such appointment, release the resigning Escrow Agent from its obligations hereunder by written instrument, a copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Escrow Agent and the successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within forty-five (45) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor.
 
11. Upon request of any parties to the Merger Agreement delivered no later than ten (10) business days following the execution of this agreement by all the parties hereto, the parties to the Merger Agreement shall furnish to each other their respective disclosure schedules pursuant to the Merger Agreement no later than ten (10) business days following the delivery of the foregoing request. Any such request by JAG Media shall be made by e-mail to Robert Barra (rbarra@cryptometrics.com) and any such request by Cryptometrics shall be made by e-mail to Thomas J. Mazzarisi (tjmazzarisi@jagmedia.biz). Any such request by JAG Media shall also be deemed a request to Messers Barra and Vitale individually as parties to the Merger Agreement.
 
12. Thomas J. Mazzarisi and Stephen J. Schoepfer agree that they shall not exercise their options to acquire JAG Media common stock (“Options”) prior to the first to occur of the Closing, the Automatic Termination Date or the termination of this agreement. Nothing herein shall restrict Messrs. Mazzarisi and Schoepfer from exercising their Options (or selling the shares underlying the Options) on or after the Closing Date or the termination of this agreement.
 
13. If JAG Media terminates the Merger Agreement prior to the Automatic Termination Date, JAG Media shall issue to Cryptometrics 500,000 shares of Parent Common Stock.
 
14. JAG Media shall publicly disclose the contents of this agreement on a Form 8-K or other suitable form within four (4) business days of its execution.

        Karlen & Stolzar, Thomas J. Mazzarisi and Stephen J. Schoepfer

        26, 2007, April 2, 2007, April 20, 2007 and May 11, 2007 (“Merger
        Agreement Amendment”)

Gentlemen:

This will confirm our understanding regarding the following changes to the Merger Agreement Amendment, which have been authorized by the directors of JAG Media, Cryptometrics Acquisition and Cryptometrics:

1.     The Automatic Termination Date of May 18, 2007 set forth in the first sentence of paragraph 9 of the Merger Agreement Amendment is hereby changed to June 15, 2007.

2.     Contemporaneously with the execution of this agreement, Cryptometrics shall pay $167,659.84 in additional transaction costs, which amount shall be paid on behalf of JAG Media, to the relevant legal and accounting firms providing services to JAG Media in connection with the transaction. Such payments shall be made by Cryptometrics via wire transfer directly to such parties, in accordance with wire transfer instructions to be provided by JAG Media.

3.     Cryptometrics also agrees to pay on behalf of JAG Media up to $150,000 of various remaining transaction costs, not covered by the payments in paragraph 2 above, incurred prior to any termination of the Merger Agreement, required to close the transaction as and when those payments become due and payable, which costs are currently estimated to be approximately $150,000.

4.     In consideration of the payments agreed to be made in paragraph 2 above, JAG Media hereby grants (and shall, within five business days after payment of the amounts in paragraph 2 above, cause to be granted by Pixaya (UK) Limited (“Pixaya”)) to Cryptometrics a non-exclusive, royalty free, perpetual, with rights of survivorship,


Table of Contents

personal license to use all of its source codes and related design and development documents and other intellectual property (excluding the SurvayaCam and Pixaya names and marks) related to all of its current Pixaya products including its Pixaya SurvayaCam product (collectively, the “Licensed Property”) solely for the purpose of allowing Cryptometrics and its subsidiaries to develop and exploit their own lines of products (“Licensed Products”) by incorporating Licensed Property therein; but not for use in any stand-alone product that competes directly with a current product of Pixaya other than facial recognition, access control, critical infrastructure protection or intelligent video analysis products/systems, and Cryptometrics and its subsidiaries shall not disclose to any third party such source codes or any other trade secret information included within the Licensed Property. Except as expressly set forth in this paragraph 4, nothing herein contained shall be construed as a grant of any rights or licenses to any JAG Media or Pixaya technology or intellectual property. JAG Media, on behalf of itself and Pixaya, disclaims any and all warranties, express or implied, including without limitation any warranty of merchantability, fitness for any particular use or purpose, or of non-infringement of any third party rights. Cryptometrics shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless JAG Media, Pixaya and their respective officers, directors, employees and representatives, of and from any and all claims and liability arising out of or in connection with the commercialization of any Licensed Product or use pursuant to this paragraph 4 of any Licensed Property. JAG Media represents and warrants to CryptoMetrics that Pixaya is its wholly owned subsidiary and that JAG Media has the power to cause it to grant the license referred to herein.

5.     If the Merger Agreement is terminated by JAG Media or Cornell Capital for any reason, JAG Media shall issue to Cryptometrics 500,000 shares of Parent Common Stock (in addition to the 500,000 shares previously agreed upon in the amendment to the Merger Agreement dated January 24, 2007), Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Cryptometrics fails to pay any amounts pursuant to paragraph 3 above and/or if the S-4 registration statement is declared effective and Cryptometrics fails to close the transaction and file the certificate of merger by the Automatic Termination Date then in effect, Cryptometrics shall not be entitled to receive the 500,000 shares of Parent Common Stock referenced above.

All defined terms used in this agreement, which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement Amendment. Except as otherwise set forth in this agreement, the Merger Agreement Amendment and the Merger Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

If the foregoing accurately reflects your understanding of our agreement regarding the above matter, please indicate your agreement and acceptance by signing in the appropriate space below and returning a fully executed and dated copy of this agreement to the undersigned

This will confirm our understanding regarding the following changes to the Merger Agreement and Merger Agreement Amendment, which have been authorized by the directors of JAG Media, Cryptometrics Acquisition and Cryptometrics:
 
1. The Closing Date set forth in the first sentence of paragraph 8 of the Merger Agreement Amendment is hereby changed to November 2, 2007.

3. Cryptometrics shall pay up to $200,000 in additional transaction costs on behalf of JAG Media, in addition to the $150,000 in such costs set forth in paragraph 3 of the May 18, 2007 agreement among the Parties (“Additional Transaction Costs”). Cryptometrics shall pay $94,446.39 of the Additional Transaction Costs to JAG Media’s lawyers, accountants, financial printers and other parties in accordance with wire instructions to be furnished by JAG Media and within five (5) days after execution of this agreement and receipt of the relevant wire instructions from JAG Media. The remaining Additional Transaction Costs shall be paid as and when those payments become due and payable in accordance with paragraph 5 below.
 
4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Merger Agreement, as amended, JAG Media may issue such options, warrants and shares of Common Stock as it deems necessary or appropriate to address payables, debt and operating expenses of JAG Media (“JAG Media Expenses”), as well as Additional Transaction Costs, provided that such issuances do not result in the issuance of more than 750,000 shares of Common Stock.

If proceeds from the Cryptometrics Allocation are not available at the time JAG Media receives invoices for Additional Transaction Costs Cryptometrics shall promptly pay such invoices.

Table of Contents

APPENDIX D
 
Excepts from Delaware General Corporation Law (Appraisal Rights)
 
ss. 262.  Appraisal rights
 
(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder’s shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word “stockholder” means a holder of record of stock in a stock corporation and also a member of record of a nonstock corporation; the words “stock” and “share” mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words and also membership or membership interest of a member of a nonstock corporation; and the words “depository receipt” mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in one or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.
 
(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to ss. 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to ss. 251(g) of this title), ss. 252, ss. 254, ss. 257, ss. 258, ss. 263 or ss. 264 of this title:
 
(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in subsection (f) of ss. 251 of this title.
 
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subsection, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to ss.ss.  251, 252, 254, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:
 
a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;
 
b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;
 
c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a. and b. of this paragraph; or
 
d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a., b. and c. of this paragraph.
 
(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under ss. 253 of this title is not owned by the parent corporation immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.
 
(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or


1


Table of Contents

substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.
 
(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:
 
(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for such meeting with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) hereof that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or
 
(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to ss. 228 or ss. 253 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next proceeding the day on which the notice is given.
 
(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may file a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the

Table of Contents

merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) hereof, whichever is later.
 
(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.
 
(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.
 
(h) After determining the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the Court shall appraise the shares, determining their fair value exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. In determining the fair rate of interest, the Court may consider all relevant factors, including the rate of interest which the surviving or resulting corporation would have had to pay to borrow money during the pendency of the proceeding. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, permit discovery or other pretrial proceedings and may proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholder entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.
 
(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Interest may be simple or compound, as the Court may direct. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.
 
(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just.
 
(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

This Agreement is made as of the 1st day of May, 2005 by and between Cryptometrics, Inc. (the “Company”), and           (the “Executive”).
 
1. Duties and Scope of Employment.
 
(a) Positions; Duties.  During the Employment Term (as defined in Section 2), the Company shall employ Executive as Co-Chief Executive Officer (“Co-CEO”) of the Company. Executive shall report solely and directly to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and consult with any other person employed by the Company as a co-chief executor officer. All other employees of the Company, other than the other Co-CEO, if any, shall report to Executive, his Co-CEO or his designee and not directly to the Board. During the Employment Term, Executive shall have such responsibilities, duties and authorities as are commensurate with those of chief executive officers of public entities of similar size, in particular, shall be, in addition to being responsible for the operations of the Company, the chief or Co-Chief external representative of the Company. The role and responsibilities of the Chairman of the Company shall be limited to chairing or co-chairing the Board and mentoring and counseling the Chief or Co-Chief Executive Officer when and as requested by him and such other matters as the Chairman and Executive may agree, and within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, the By-laws of the Company shall be amended accordingly. The Board shall, in good faith, consider Executive’s advice and recommendations, if any, in connection with any appointments or nominations to the Board. For so long as Executive remains Chief or Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Board will nominate Executive to the Board and, if elected, Executive shall serve in such capacity without additional consideration.
 
(b) Obligations.   During the Employment Term, Executive shall devote substantially all of his business efforts and time to the Company. Executive agrees, during the Employment Term, not to actively engage in any other employment, occupation or consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the Board; provided, however, that Executive may (i) serve in any capacity with any professional, community, industry, civic, educational or charitable organization, (ii) serve as a member of corporate boards of directors on which Executive serves on the Effective Date and, with the consent of the Board (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), other corporate boards of directors and (iii) manage his and his family’s personal investments and legal affairs so long as such activities do not materially interfere with the discharge of Executive’s duties.
 
2. Employment Term.  The Company hereby agrees to employ Executive and Executive hereby accepts employment hereunder, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, commencing on the Effective Date. The period of Executive’s employment hereunder is referred to herein as the “Employment Term.” Executive and the Company understand and acknowledge that Executive’s employment with the Company constitutes “at-will” employment. Subject to the Company’s obligation to provide severance benefits as specified herein, Executive and the Company acknowledge that this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, upon written notice to the other party, with or without Cause or Good Reason and for any or no cause or reason, at the option of either the Company or Executive.
 
3. Compensation/Benefits.   During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay and provide Executive the following:
 
(a) Cash Compensation.   As compensation for his services to the Company, Executive shall receive a base salary (“Base Salary”) and shall be eligible to receive additional variable compensation. As of the Effective Date, Executive’s annualized Base Salary shall be $175,000, and his annual variable compensation amount shall be targeted at no less than $350,000 (the “Target Bonus” which, together with the Base Salary, shall be referred to herein as “Target Pay”), with an opportunity to earn up to at least $656,250 in annual variable compensation. As compensation for his services to the Company commencing one calendar year after the Effective Date, Executive’s Base Salary shall be $225,000 and his annual variable compensation amount shall be targeted at no less than $450,000. For years commencing thereafter, Executive’s Base Salary and

Target Bonus shall be as set by the Board provided that same shall not be reduced below the amount set for the prior year.
 
(b) Equity Compensation.  Stock Options. The Company shall grant to the Executive, as of the Effective Date, a non-qualified stock option (the “Stock Option”) to purchase a total of 325,000 shares of Company common stock, $.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), (or common stock of the type and number for which the shares of the Common Stock of the Company are exchanged or converted into, as required pursuant to Exhibit A hereto), at a per share of common stock exercise price equal to $1.00 per share. The Stock Option is for a term of 10 years (subject to earlier termination as provided herein.) In the case of termination by the Company without Cause, voluntary termination by Executive for Good Reason, death or a Disability Termination, the Stock Option and any other Company stock option then held by Executive shall remain exercisable (to the extent vested on the date of termination) until the earlier of one year from the employment termination date or the expiration of the option. Subject to accelerated vesting as set forth in this Agreement, the Stock Option shall vest and become exercisable as to 25% of the shares originally subject to the Stock Option on each anniversary of the Effective Date, so as to be 100% vested on the four year anniversary thereof, conditioned upon Executive’s continued employment with the Company as of each vesting date. The Stock Option shall in all respects be subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the attached form of stock option agreement, a copy of which has been given to Executive, as modified by the terms of this Agreement. The Stock Option Agreement shall be insubstantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.
 
In the event of changes in the Common Stock of the Company occurring on or before the Effective Date but after the date of this Agreement by reason of stock dividends, slit-ups, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations or liquidations, the number and type of shares subject to the Stock Option and the purchase price per share shall be proportionally adjusted as set form in subsection 3(b) hereof.
 
When Executive incurs tax liability in connection with the exercise of the Stock Option or options, Executive may elect to satisfy his resulting withholding tax obligation by having the Company retain shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the Company’s minimum withholding tax obligation.
 
At all times after the Effective Date, the Company shall maintain registrations on Form S-8 or another applicable form so that the Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Stock Option or other options or other equity awards are immediately saleable by Executive on the public market (subject to the non-registration limitations of applicable laws).
 
(c) Employee Benefits.   Executive shall, to the extent eligible, be entitled to participate at a level commensurate with his position in all employee benefit welfare and retirement plans and programs, as well as equity plans, provided by the Company to its senior executives in accordance with the terms thereof as in effect from time to time.
 
(d) Perquisites.  The Company shall provide to Executive, at the Company’s cost, all perquisites which other senior executives of the Company are entitled to receive and such other perquisites which are suitable to the character of Executive’s position with the Company and adequate for the performance of his duties hereunder.
 
(e) Business and Entertainment Expenses.  Upon submission of appropriate documentation in accordance with its policies in effect from time to time, the Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for all business expenses which Executive incurs in performing his duties under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, travel, entertainment, professional dues and subscriptions, and all dues, fees, and expenses associated with membership in various professional, business, and civic associations and societies in which Executive participates in accordance with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time.

4. Termination of Employment.
 
(a) Death or Disability.  The Company may terminate Executive’s employment for disability in the event Executive has been unable to perform his material duties hereunder for six (6) consecutive months because of physical or mental incapacity by giving Executive notice of such termination while such continuing incapacity continues (a “Disability Termination”). Executive’s employment shall automatically terminate on Executive’s death. In the event Executive’s employment with the Company terminates during the Employment Term by reason of Executive’s death or a Disability Termination, then upon the date of such termination, (i) the Stock Option and all other stock option or equity grants to Executive shall vest in full so as to become fully exercisable, (ii) the Company shall promptly pay and provide Executive (or in the event of Executive’s death, Executive’s estate) (A) any unpaid Base Salary through the date of termination and any accrued vacation, (B) any unpaid bonus accrued with respect to the fiscal year ending on or preceding the date of termination, (C) reimbursement for any unreimbursed expenses incurred through the date of termination and (D) all other payments, benefits or fringe benefits to which Executive may be entitled subject to and in accordance with, the terms of any applicable compensation arrangement or benefit, equity or fringe benefit plan or program or grant and amounts which may become due under Sections 6, 9 and 10 hereof (collectively, items under (ii) are referred to as “Accrued Benefits”), and (iii) the Company shall pay to Executive at the time other senior executives are paid under any Variable Pay Plan or cash bonus or long term incentive plan, a pro- rata bonus equal to the amount Executive would have received if employment continued (without any discretionary cutback) multiplied by a fraction where the numerator is the number of days in each respective bonus period prior to Executive’s termination and the denominator is the number of days in the bonus period (the “Prorated Bonus”).
 
(b) Termination for Cause.   The Company may terminate Executive’s employment for Cause. In the event that Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated during the Employment Term by the Company for Cause, Executive shall not be entitled to any additional payments or benefits hereunder, other than Accrued Benefits (including, but not limited to, any then vested Stock Option, or other stock options or equity grants). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (i) the willful failure by Executive to attempt to substantially perform his duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from his incapacity due to physical or mental impairment), unless any such failure is corrected within thirty (30) days following written notice by the Board that specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes Executive has substantially not attempted to materially perform his duties or (ii) the willful gross misconduct by Executive with regard to the Company that is materially injurious to the Company. No act, or failure to act, by Executive shall be “willful” unless committed without good faith and without a reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the best interest of the Company. No event shall be deemed the basis for Cause unless Executive is terminated therefor within sixty (60) days after such event is known to the Executive’s Co-CEO, or, if there is no Co-CEO, known to the Chairman of any committee of or of the Board.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause without (i) advance written notice provided to Executive not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the date of termination setting forth the Company’s intention to consider terminating Executive and including a statement of the proposed date of termination and the specific detailed basis for such consideration of termination for Cause, (ii) an opportunity of Executive, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board at least ten (10) days after the giving of such notice and prior to the proposed date of termination, (iii) a duly adopted resolution of the Board stating that in accordance with the provisions of the next to the last sentence of this paragraph (b), that the actions of Executive constituted Cause and the basis thereof, and (iv) a written determination provided by the Board setting forth the acts and omissions that form the basis of such termination of employment. Any determination by the Board hereunder shall be made by the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of all of the members of the Board (other than Executive). Any purported termination of employment of Executive by the Company which does not meet each and every substantive and procedural requirement of this paragraph (b) shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as a termination of employment without Cause.
 
(c) Voluntary Termination for Good Reason; Involuntary Termination Other Than for Cause. Executive may terminate his employment for Good Reason at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days after the occurrence of the Good Reason event by written notice to the Company. If Executive’s employment with the Company is voluntarily terminated by Executive for “Good Reason” or is involuntarily terminated by the Company other than

Table of Contents

for “Cause”, then, subject to Executive executing and not revoking the Release Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (other than with respect to subsections 4(c)(i) and (vii) below), the Company shall pay or provide Executive with the following:
 
(i) any Accrued Benefits;
 
(ii) the Prorated Bonus;
 
(iii) a severance amount equal to two (2) times Executive’s then Target Pay, payable in substantially equal installments over 24 months in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practice; provided, however, that (i) if Executive competes with the Company or materially violates Sections 7(c) or (d) hereof, any severance payments due thereafter shall cease and be forfeited as of the commencement of such competition, (ii) in the event of a Change of Control after such termination, the unpaid portion of such severance amount, if any, shall be paid to Executive in full in a single lump sum cash payment within fifteen (15) business days following such Change of Control, and (iii) if such termination occurs in contemplation of, at the time of, or within two (2) years after a Change of Control, Executive shall instead be entitled to a lump sum cash payment within fifteen (15) business days after delivery of the aforesaid release equal to three (3) times the sum of (A) Executive’s then Base Salary and (B) the higher of (x) Executive’s then current Target Pay and (y) the highest variable pay and annual incentive bonus received by Executive for the two (2) fiscal years last ending prior to such termination. For purposes of this Section 4(c)(iii), “competition” shall mean engaging in any business that materially competes with the Company.
 
(iv) to the extent eligible on the date of termination, continued participation, at no additional after tax cost to Executive than Executive would have as an employee, in all welfare plans until two (2) years after the date of termination; provided, however, that if such termination occurs within two (2) years after a Change of Control, Executive shall be entitled to continued participation in all welfare plans for three (3) years rather than two (2) years. In the event Executive obtains other employment that offers substantially similar or improved benefits, as to any particular welfare plan, such continuation of coverage by the Company for such benefits under such plan shall immediately cease. To the extent such coverage cannot be provided under the Company’s welfare benefit plans without jeopardizing the tax status of such plans, for underwriting reasons or because of the tax impact on Executive, the Company shall pay Executive an amount such that Executive can purchase such benefits separately at no greater after tax cost to Executive than Executive would have had if the benefits were provided to Executive as an employee; (v) in the event such termination occurs in contemplation of, at the time of, or within two (2) years after a Change of Control, three (3) additional years of service and compensation credit (at Executive’s then compensation level) for benefit purposes under any defined benefit type retirement plan, including but not limited to any tax-qualified retirement plan and any excess benefit retirement plan if then in effect, and, if Executive is not eligible to receive benefits under any such plan on the date of termination, two (2) additional years of age for determining eligibility to receive such benefits, provided that benefits under any such plan will not commence until Executive actually attains the required distribution age under the plan or Executive’s spouse qualifies for death benefits under such plan and further provided that, with regard to any plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the additional amounts may be provided on a nonqualified plan basis.
 
(vi) full vesting of 50% of Executive’s unvested Stock Option and each traunche of each other grant of stock options or other equity awards, provided that if such termination takes place in contemplation of, at the time of, or within two (2) years after a Change of Control, Executive shall be entitled to full vesting of the Stock Option and all other stock options and equity awards;
 
(vii) outplacement services at a level commensurate with Executive’s position, including use of an executive office and secretary, for a period of one (1) year commencing on Executive’s date of termination but in no event extending beyond the date on which Executive commences other full time employment.
 
For the purposes of this Agreement “Good Reason” means, without the express written consent of Executive, the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) any reduction or diminution (except temporarily during any period of disability) in Executive’s titles or positions, any material diminution in Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities with the Company (it being acknowledged that, in the event any entity becomes the owner


4


Table of Contents

(directly or indirectly) of more than 35% of the Common Stock, it shall be Good Reason if Executive is not the Chief or Co-Chief Executive Officer of such entity); (ii) a breach by the Company of any material provision of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, a breach of the Company’s obligation under Section 1(a), any reduction, (other than a reduction (not to exceed ten percent (10%)) that applies, in equal percentages, to all U.S. officers (within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Company), in Executive’s Base Salary or any material failure to timely pay any part of Executive’s compensation (including, without limitation, Base Salary, annualized Target Pay and bonus) or to materially provide in the aggregate the level of benefits contemplated herein; (iii) the failure of the Company to obtain and deliver to Executive a satisfactory written agreement from any successor to the Company to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in accordance with Section 8 hereof; or (iv) the removal of Executive from the Board or the failure to elect him thereto when the Board is subsequently subject to re-election.
 
(d) Without Good Reason. Executive may terminate his employment at any time without Good Reason by written notice to the Company. In the event that Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated during the Employment Term by Executive without Good Reason, Executive shall not be entitled to any additional payments or benefits hereunder, other than Accrued Benefits (including, but not limited to, any then vested Stock Option or other stock options or equity grants).
 
(e) No Mitigation/No Offset. Executive shall not be required to seek other employment or otherwise mitigate the value of any severance benefits contemplated by this Agreement, nor shall any such benefits be reduced by any earnings or benefits that Executive may receive from any other source. The amounts payable hereunder shall not be subject to setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Company may have against Executive or others.
 
5. Change of Control Vesting Acceleration.  In the event of a “Change of “Control” (as defined below), on the date of such Change of Control 50% of any remaining unvested shares subject to the Stock Option and of each tranche of each other stock option or equity award shall be immediately vested. Following such partial acceleration of the Stock Option or each tranche of each other stock option or equity award, the remaining unvested shares of such Stock Option or tranche shall continue to vest as otherwise provided in the grant.
 
For the purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” is defined as:
 
(a) Any “person”, other than one of the current Co-CEO’s of the Company (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 35% or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; or
 
(b) A change in the composition of the Board occurring within a two-year period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors. “Incumbent Directors” shall mean directors who either (i) are directors of the Company as of the date hereof or (ii) are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination (but shall not include an individual whose election or nomination is in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of directors to the Company); or
 
(c) The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 50% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or
 
(d) The consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or
 
(e) The approval by the stockholders of the Company of a plan of complete liquidation of the Company.

6. Golden Parachute Excise Tax Gross-Up.
 
(a) In the event that Executive shall become entitled to payments and/or benefits provided by this Agreement or any other amounts in the “nature of compensation” (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any person whose actions result in a change of ownership or effective control covered by Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code or any person affiliated with the Company or such person) as a result of such change in ownership or effective control (collectively the “Company Payments”), and such Company Payments will be subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (and any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed by any taxing authority) the Company shall pay to Executive at the time specified in paragraph (d) below an additional amount (the “Gross-up Payment”) such that the net amount retained by Executive, after deduction of any Excise Tax on the Company Payments and any U.S. federal, state, and/or local income or payroll tax upon the Gross-up Payment provided for by this paragraph (a), but before deduction for any U.S. federal, state, and local income or payroll tax on the Company Payments, shall be equal to the Company Payments.
 
(b) For purposes of determining whether any of the Company Payments and Gross-up Payments (collectively the “Total Payments”) will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (i) the Total Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all “parachute payments” in excess of the “base amount” (as defined under Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless and except to the extent that, in the opinion of the Company’s independent certified public accountants appointed prior to any change in ownership (as defined under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) or tax counsel selected by such accountants (the “Accountants”) such Total Payments (in whole or in part) either do not constitute “parachute payments,” represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code in excess of the “base amount” or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and (ii) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Accountants in accordance with the principles of Section 280G of the Code.
 
(c) For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-up Payment, Executive shall be deemed to pay U.S. federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of U.S. federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of Executive’s residence for the calendar year in which the Company Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in U.S. federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes if paid in such year. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined by the Accountants to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-up Payment is made, Executive shall repay to the Company, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the prior Gross-up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and U.S. federal, state and local income tax imposed on the portion of the Gross-up Payment being repaid by Executive if such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax or a U.S. federal, state and local income tax deduction), plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any portion of the Gross-up Payment to be refunded to the Company has been paid to any U.S. federal, state and local tax authority, repayment thereof (and related amounts) shall not be required until actual refund or credit of such portion has been made to Executive, and interest payable to the Company shall not exceed the interest received or credited to Executive by such tax authority for the period it held such portion. Executive and the Company shall mutually agree upon the course of action to be pursued (and the method of allocating the expense thereof) if Executive’s claim for refund or credit is denied.
 
In the event that the Excise Tax is later determined by the Accountant or the Internal Revenue Service to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-up Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-up Payment), the Company shall make an additional Gross-up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest or penalties payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined.
 
(d) The Gross-up Payment or portion thereof provided for in paragraph (c) above shall be paid not later than the thirtieth (30th) day following an event occurring which subjects Executive to the Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the amount of such Gross-up Payment or portion thereof cannot be finally determined on or before such day,


6


Table of Contents

the Company shall pay to Executive on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Accountant, of the minimum amount of such payments and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code), subject to further payments pursuant to paragraph (c) hereof, as soon as the amount thereof can reasonably be determined, but in no event later than the ninetieth (90th) day after the occurrence of the event subjecting Executive to the Excise Tax. In the event that the amount of the estimated payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such excess shall constitute a loan by the Company to Executive, payable on the fifth (5th) day after demand by the Company (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code).
 
(e) In the event of any controversy with the Internal Revenue Service (or other taxing authority) with regard to the Excise Tax, Executive shall permit the Company to control issues related to the Excise Tax (at its expense), provided that such issues do not potentially materially adversely affect Executive, but Executive shall control any other issues. In the event the issues are interrelated, Executive and the Company shall in good faith cooperate so as not to jeopardize resolution of either issue, but if the parties cannot agree Executive shall make the final determination with regard to the issues. In the event of any conference with any taxing authority as to the Excise Tax or associated income taxes, Executive shall permit the representative of the Company to accompany Executive, and Executive and Executive’s representative shall cooperate with the Company and its representative.
 
(f) The Company shall be responsible for all charges of the Accountant.
 
(g) The Company and Executive shall promptly deliver to each other copies of any written communications, and summaries of any verbal communications, with any taxing authority regarding the Excise Tax covered by this Section 6.
 
7. Non-Compete; Non-Solicit.
 
(a) The parties hereto recognize that Executive’s services are special and unique and that the level of compensation and the provisions herein for compensation under Section 3 are partly in consideration of and conditioned upon Executive’s not competing with the Company, and that Executive’s covenant not to compete or solicit as set forth in this Section 7 during and after employment is essential to protect the business and good will of the Company.

The Prohibited List may be changed by the Board from time to time (but there may never be more than three (3) entities listed) by written notice to Executive, such notice to be effective only if Executive’s commencement of rendering services for such entity is ninety (90) or more days after the giving of such notice. The scope of the non-competition clause under any equity plan, benefit plan or other plan, agreement or arrangement of the Company shall not be deemed to prohibit Executive’s actions or, except as provided in Section 4(c) of this Agreement or pursuant to a provision in a Company plan or grant agreement that precludes future vesting or exercisability at the time competition is entered into, serve as a basis for any reduction or forfeiture of benefits or payments thereunder unless such actions violate this Section 7(b) of this Agreement.

(e) If any of the restrictions contained in this Section 7 shall be deemed to be unenforceable by reason of the extent, duration or geographical scope or other provisions thereof, then the parties hereto contemplate that the court shall reduce such extent, duration, geographical scope or other provision hereof and enforce this Section 7 in its reduced form for all purposes in the manner contemplated hereby.

PART II
 
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
ITEM 20.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
Section 78.751 of Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and JAG Media’s Bylaws contain provisions for indemnification of officers and directors of JAG Media and in certain cases employees and other persons. JAG Media’s Bylaws provide that JAG Media will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of JAG Media) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of JAG Media, or is or was serving at the request of JAG Media as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of JAG Media, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful.
 
In accordance with JAG Media’s Bylaws, the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of JAG Media, and with respect to any criminal action proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.
 
JAG Media’s Bylaws also provide that JAG Media will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of JAG Media to procure a judgment in JAG Media’s favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of JAG Media, or is or was serving at the request of JAG Media as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorney’s fees) and amount paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of JAG Media, and, with respect to amounts paid in settlement, the settlement of the suit or action was in the best interests of JAG Media. No indemnification will be made, however, in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such person’s duty to JAG Media unless and only to the extent that, the court in which such action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as such court deems proper. The termination of any action or suit by judgment or settlement will not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests JAG Media.
 
To the extent that a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of JAG Media has been successful on the merits or otherwise, in whole or in part in defense of any action, suit or proceeding made by a third party or JAG Media, such person will be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such claims.

ITEM 22.   UNDERTAKINGS
 
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement, and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change in such information in the Registration Statement; (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
The undersigned Registrant undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this Registration Statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.
 
The Registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to the preceding paragraph, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) shall be deemed to be part of and included in the Registration Statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the Registration Statement or prospectus that was part of the Registration Statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
 
For the purpose of determining liability of the undersigned Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to a registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant; (iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and (iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

Re:   JAG Media Holdings, Inc. — Registration Statement on Form S-4 in respect of
417,386,486 Shares of Common Stock (Registration No. 333-147883).

     Ladies and Gentlemen:
     
     We have acted as special Nevada counsel to JAG Media Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the filing by the Company of a Registration Statement on Form S-4, Registration No. 333-147883 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the issuance of up to 417,386,486 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, in connection with the consummation of the proposed acquisition of Cryptometrics Inc. described in the Registration Statement (the “Acquisition”).
     In our capacity as such counsel, we are familiar with the proceedings taken and proposed to be taken by the Company in connection with the Acquisition and the related authorization and issuance of the Shares. In addition, we have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries, including an examination of originals (or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true reproductions of originals) of such documents, corporate records and other instruments, and have obtained such certificates and other representations and assurances, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.
     In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the legal capacity of natural persons executing such documents and the authenticity and conformity to original documents of documents submitted to us as certified, photostatic, facsimile or electronically transmitted copies.
     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares will be duly authorized, and upon issuance and delivery of the Shares on the consummation of the Acquisition as contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(Jones Vargas Address)

EXHIBIT 8.1
[MORGAN, LEWIS & BOCKIUS LLP LETTERHEAD]
February 7, 2008
JAG Media Holdings, Inc.
6865 SW 18th Street, Suite B-13
Boca Raton, Florida 33433
Cryptometrics, Inc.
73 Main Street
Tuckahoe, New York 10107
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 27, 2005 by and among JAG Media Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parent”), Cryptometrics Acquisition, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), Cryptometrics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and certain other persons, as amended by the amendments thereto dated January 24, 2007, February 26, 2007, April 2, 2007, April 20, 2007, May 11, 2007, May 18, 2007, June 15, 2007, July 16, 2007, August 16, 2007, November 7, 2007 and February 6, 2008 (as so amended, the “Agreement”), Merger Sub is to merge with and into the Company with the Company surviving (the “Merger”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this opinion have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.
You have requested our opinion regarding certain federal income tax consequences of the Merger (together with certain related transactions). As such, and for the purpose of rendering our opinion, we have examined and are relying upon (without any independent investigation or review thereof) the truth and accuracy, at all relevant times, of the statements, covenants, representations and warranties contained in the following documents (the “Documents”):
1.   The Agreement;
 
2.   The registration statement of Parent on Form S-4 (No. 333-147883) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Parent Common Stock to be issued to the shareholders of the Company in connection with the Merger (the “Registration Statement”) and the consent solicitation/prospectus included the Registration Statement (the “Consent Solicitation/Prospectus”);
 
3.   The representations as to factual matters made to us by Parent in its letter to us dated February 7, 2008 (the “Parent Tax Certificate”);
 
4.   The representations as to factual matters made to us by the Company in its letter to us dated February 7, 2008 (the “Company Tax Certificate,” and, together with the Parent Tax Certificate, the “Tax Certificates”); and
 
5.   Such other instruments and documents related to the formation, organization and operation of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and parties to the Second Step Transaction and to the consummation of the Merger and the Second Step Transaction as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of our opinion.
For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed, with your permission and without independent investigation, (i) that the Merger will be consummated in the manner contemplated by the Consent Solicitation/Prospectus and in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement without the waiver of any conditions to any party’s obligation to effect the Merger, (ii) that the Second Step Transaction (as defined in the Consent Solicitation/Prospectus) will be consummated in the manner contemplated by the Consent Solicitation/Prospectus and the Tax Certificates, (iii) that original documents (including signatures) are authentic, (iv) that documents submitted to us as copies conform to the original documents, (v) that there has been (or will be by the date of the Merger) due execution and delivery of all documents where due execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness of those documents, (vi) the accuracy of statements and representations contained in the Documents, (vii) that covenants and warranties set forth in the Documents will be complied with and (viii) that the Merger and the Second Step Transaction will be effective under applicable state law.
Furthermore, as to certain facts material to our opinion, we have relied, with your permission and without independent investigation, upon the accuracy of statements and representations of officers of the Parent and the Company contained in the Tax Certificates and have assumed, with your permission and without independent investigation, that, as to all matters in which a person or entity making a representation has represented that such person or entity or a related party is not a party to, does not

 


 

have, or is not aware of, any plan, intention, understanding or agreement to take action, there is in fact no plan, intention, understanding or agreement and such action will not be taken.
IRS Circular 230 Disclosure. To ensure compliance with the requirements imposed by the IRS, we inform you that any U.S. federal tax advice contained herein does not deal with a taxpayer’s particular circumstances. Further, it was written in support of the promotion, marketing or recommending of the transaction or matter described herein. This opinion was not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code. Taxpayers should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them of their own particular circumstances.
Based on the assumptions specified herein and on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the regulations promulgated thereunder, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all in effect as of today’s date, it is our opinion that (i) the Merger, together with the Second Step Transaction, will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and (ii) that the discussion contained in the Consent Solicitation/Prospectus under the caption “The Merger — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger,” subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions described therein, sets forth the material United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the Company’s stockholders in the Merger. As noted in such discussion, notwithstanding the qualification of the Merger as a reorganization, a portion of the Parent Common Stock received in the Merger may be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an amount received in respect of a distribution on Cryptometrics shares.
Our opinion expressed herein is based upon existing law, regulations, administrative pronouncements and judicial authority, all as in effect as of today’s date. It represents our best legal judgment as to the matters addressed herein, but is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the opinion expressed herein, if contested, would be sustained by a court. Furthermore, the authorities upon which we rely may be changed at any time, potentially with retroactive effect.
