PART  I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Item 1: Financial Statements.

The response to Item 1 has been submitted as a separate section of this Report beginning on page F-1.
 
Item 2: Management’s discussion and analysis or plan of operation

           Statements included in this management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, and in future filings by the company with the securities and exchange commission, in the company’s press releases and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer which are not historical or current facts are “forward-looking statements” and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The following important factors, among others, in some cases have affected and in the future could affect the company’s actual results and could cause the company’s actual financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in any forward-looking statement: (i) the extremely competitive conditions that currently exist in the market for companies similar to the company and (ii) lack of resources to maintain the company’s good standing status and requisite filings with the securities and exchange commission. The foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive and the company disclaims any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and their explanatory notes included as part of this quarterly report.

(a)           Forward Looking Statements

The Company makes forward-looking statements in this report and may make such statements in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company may also make forward-looking statements in its press releases or other public shareholder communications. Its forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and include information about its expectations and possible or assumed future results of operations. When management uses any of the words “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “estimates” or similar expressions, it is making forward-looking statements.

To the extent it is entitled, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for all of its forward-looking statements. While management believes that our forward-looking statements are reasonable, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Because these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond management’s control or are subject to change, actual results could be materially different. Factors that might cause such a difference include, without limitation, the following: the Company’s inability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its current liabilities, its potential inability to hire and retain qualified management, sales and customer service personnel, the potential for an extended decline in sales, the possible failure of revenues to offset additional costs associated with any changes in business model, the potential lack of product acceptance, its potential inability to introduce new products to the market, the potential failure of customers to meet purchase commitments, the potential loss of customer relationships, the potential failure to receive or maintain necessary regulatory approvals, the extent to which competition may negatively affect prices and sales volumes or necessitate increased sales or marketing expenses, the timing of and proceeds from the sale of restricted securities it holds and the other risks and uncertainties set forth in this report.

Other factors not currently anticipated by management may also materially and adversely affect our results of operations. Except as required by applicable law, management does not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report.

(b)           Business Overview

Through our majority-owned subsidiary, Domain Holdings, Inc. (“DHI”), the Company monetizes its large portfolio of domain names.  A number of these domain names generate high amounts of internet traffic because of, among other things, their generic description of a specific product or services category. DHI owns, builds and operates websites around these domain names, which span several consumer and business-to-business categories including health & beauty (such as Perfume.com), sports and recreation (such as Cricket.com and Boxing.com), travel (such as Brazil.com and Vietnam.com), and global trade (importers.com). These websites generate revenue by selling products (eCommerce) and/or selling space to advertisers.

The Company currently holds 98.2% (December 31, 2007 – 94.9%) of its principal operating subsidiary’s, DHI’s, outstanding shares.  During the quarter, DHI issued 40,086,645 shares to Communicate in exchange for a conversion of Intercompany debt of $3,000,000.

Revenue is primarily generated through online commerce and advertising.  ECommerce revenues are derived from the sales of fragrances to consumers online at our Perfume.com domain site.  The Company generates advertising revenue by selling “pay per click” and display advertising on its websites.  Prior to November 12, 2007, the Company also sold travel services through its majority-owned subsidiary FrequentTraveller.com Inc. (“FT”).

Due to poor operating results and cash flows, the Company’s relationship with FT was terminated effective November 12, 2007. On the same date, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with FT whereby the Company acquired all of the tangible and intangible assets associated or used in connection with the operation of FT’s travel business, exclusive of all cash and real property for a total consideration for (a) the 8,000,000 shares of FT owned by the Company; and (b) the cancellation of $261,833 of debt owed FT to the Company resulting in a gain on disposal of the investment of $276,805. As such, the Company has acquired all rights associated with the operation of the FrequentTraveller.com website. As at November 12, 2007, FT is no longer a subsidiary.

Management believes that it can develop and sustain businesses based on the foundation of the generic, intuitive domain names it owns, in part because of the significant numbers of visitors that are attracted to websites utilizing those names. Management has begun to integrate all aspects of the ways in which consumers interact with the internet today by building the Company’s domain names into subject-specific DestinationHubs™. This business strategy will see the company’s premium properties built into engaging destination sites, to be monetized through advertising revenue as well as commerce transactions.

In prior years, the Company acquired a number of .cn (China) domain names through a lottery-allocation to enhance and add value to its travel related and trade-directory domains, as well as a portfolio of second and third tier .com domain names, such as shoppingbound.com, pharmacybound.com and vietnambound.com. Management believes that its large range of domain names will drive strong Internet traffic, which can benefit both its retail and advertising revenue growth. In particular, management feels that the .cn domain names could have significant value as the eCommerce and internet advertising markets develop in China over the coming years.

The Company anticipates that it will, in the coming years, independently develop in-house capabilities with respect to technology, processes, and products, and will otherwise engage in research and development or similar activities around the concept of monetizing the portfolio of domain names. In addition to the above, the Company plans to engage in arrangements with its strategic partners and outside suppliers.

The Company presently employs seventeen full-time employees, two part-time employees, and nine consultants. Effective October 1, 2007, the Company entered into a new five-year office lease and occupies approximately 5,400 square feet of office space in Vancouver, British Columbia.  The Company also leases an office at 200 First Avenue West, Suite 400, Seattle, WA 98119 for a nominal amount per month.

Sales and Costs of Sales
 
Overall, combined sales in Q1 of 2008 totalled $1,852,660 versus $1,691,245 in Q1 of 2007, an increase of 9.5%. However, Q1 of 2007 included significant revenues of $202,350 from the Frequent Traveler (“FT”) relationship that was terminated in November 2007.  Without considering these revenues, the increase in overall revenues was $363,765, or over 21.5% compared to Q1 of 2007. Most of this increase was driven by a large increase in sales on Perfume.com as noted below. Overall, Health & Beauty eCommerce product sales, primarily made up of Perfume.com sales, represented 98.5% of total revenues in Q1 of 2008, compared to 95% of total revenues in both Q1 and Q4 of 2007, not including any influence from the FT revenues.

Costs of sales were $1,490,243 in Q1 of 2008 compared to $1,303,812 during Q1 of 2007, an increase of 14.3%.  Some of this increase is due to costs of sales attributable to FT.  Since the relationship with FT ended in 2007, the increase of costs of sales in Q1 of 2008 over Q1 of 2007 without the FT influence was 34.4%.  This increase is due to a higher volume of eCommerce sales compared to Q1 of 2007 at higher product costs in Q1 of 2008.

Overall gross margin in Q1 of 2008 was 19.6% compared to a gross margin of 22.9% in Q1 of 2007.  Without any influence from FT sales and costs of sales, the gross margin in Q1 of 2007 is 25.5%. This decrease in the overall gross margin is due primarily to increased prices for products charged by our vendors in our eCommerce business, as well as decreased advertising revenues which provide nearly 100% gross margins.

eCommerce Sales

The Company’s primary eCommerce sales are a result of directly marketing and selling consumable goods to customers at Perfume.com.

In Q1 of 2008, the combined retail sites excluding FT revenues generated sales of $1,824,824 compared to $1,418,994 in Q1 of 2007. This resulted in average sales of approximately $20,053 per day in Q1 of 2008 compared to $15,767 per day in Q1 of 2007. Comparable quarterly sales in Q1 of 2008 have increased compared to Q1 of 2007 by 28.6%. Management believes that the significant quarter over quarter increases demonstrate continued strong sales potential of this business segment. Cost of purchases and shipping totalled $1,490,243 in Q1 of 2008 versus $1,108,562 in Q1 of 2007. This produced a gross margin of $334,581 or 18.3%in Q1 of 2008 compared to $310,432 or 21.9% in Q1 of 2007. Gross profit margin in Q1 2008 has decreased compared to Q1 of 2007 due primarily to increased product costs and aggressive discounts provided to customers as a part of Management’s focus on growth. While Management plans to maintain this profit margin, there is no certainty that such result can be maintained throughout the year or continue into the foreseeable future.

ECommerce product sales in Q1 of 2008 have decreased 51% compared to Q4 of 2007, however the high sales in Q4 of 2007 was due to the seasonal influence of the holiday season.

In Q1 of 2007, the Company through its subsidiary FT generated eCommerce service sales of $202,350 at a cost of $195,250. In that quarter, the travel operation incurred a net loss of $51,705, excluding the minimum royalty of $37,500 to Domain Holdings Inc., and an accumulated deficit of $990,941 since its inception in October 2002. Effective November 12, 2007, the Company unwound its relationship with travel business subsidiary FT pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) between the Company and FT as noted above. FT had an accumulated deficit of $1,152,145 at November 12, 2007. During 2007, there was no requirement to record any non-controlling interest in the share of loss in FT.

Advertising

In Q1 of 2008, the Company generated advertising revenues of $27,836 compared to $69,901 in Q1 of 2007, a decrease of 60.2%. Management terminated its primary advertising contract in early 2008 because its restrictive conditions limited monetization in the medium and long term. In Q1 of 2008, advertising accounted for only 1.5% of total revenues, compared to 4.7% of total revenues in Q1 of 2007.  Advertising revenues are expected to continue to account for a small percentage of total revenues in the next few quarters as Management investigates new monetization opportunities with vendors, and realigns to increase advertising options available on the Company’s properties. In the medium-term, Management expects advertising revenues to be an important part of overall revenue.

Domain Name Leases and Sales

In Q1 of 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated third party for a sales-type lease of surrey.com for $200,000CAD.  The terms of the lease agreement provide for five lease payments over a term of two years.  Title and rights to the domain name will be transferred to the purchaser only when full payment is received.  Payments received per the agreement are forfeited if the contract is terminated or if subsequent payments do not comply with the agreement.  The present value of the lease payments are reflected as revenues in Q1 2008.  The investment in the sales-type lease is reflected on a net basis after the receipt of the first lease payment. There were no sales of domain names in Q1 of 2008 or the 2007 fiscal year.  Currently, Management continues to evaluate expression of interest from domain name buyers, however there is no plan to sell any of the domain names. The Company continues to look at acquiring certain other domain names that would complement either the advertising or eCommerce businesses.  Management believes that the portfolio of domain names will continue to appreciate in value over time, and to date it has not been necessary to raise additional capital through divestiture.

General and Administrative

In Q1 of 2008, the Company recorded total general and administrative expense of $617,708 or 33.3% of total sales as compared to $152,629 or 9.0% of total sales in Q1 of 2007, an increase of over 300%. This total includes corporate and eCommerce related general and administrative costs.

Corporate general and administrative costs of $447,895 have increased over Q1 of 2007 by $311,955, specifically a result of an increase in accounting and legal fees of approximately $146,000 over Q1 of 2007 due to increased corporate activity and SEC filings, increased travel and entertainment costs relating to investor relations and new corporate activity of approximately $153,000, as well as increased rent in our new office and increased foreign currency for expenses in Canadian dollars which has gained against the US dollar compared to last year.

General and administrative costs specific with the eCommerce business of $169,813 increased by $153,124 primarily due to increased recruiting costs to attract talented and experienced employees of approximately $150,000 during the quarter.  These expenses represented 9.3% of total eCommerce sales in Q1 of 2008 compared to 1.2% of total eCommerce sales in Q1 of 2007, not including eCommerce revenues for FT.com.  This is reasonable given Management’s focus on growing the eCommerce business in 2008. Management expects these expenses to increase as total eCommerce revenue increases but expects to maintain eCommerce general and administrative costs below 10% of eCommerce sales.

Total general and administrative expenses in Q1 of 2008 were 38.0% higher than the expenses of $447,478 in Q4 of 2007.  Comparatively, these expenses in Q4 of 2007 represented 11.3% of total revenues.  Management expects general and administrative expenses to increase as revenues and corporate activity increase but will attempt to maintain these costs below 10% of total sales on an annualized basis.

Management Fees and Employee Salaries

In Q1 of 2008, the Company incurred management fees and staff salaries of $1,073,546 compared to $188,539 in Q1 of 2007. This amount includes stock based compensation of $482,144.  Excluding these amounts, management fees and employee salaries expense of $591,402 was an increase of over 213% quarter over quarter. Management fee and salary costs increased in Q1 of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 in part as a result of hiring a new management team beginning in June 2007. The addition of a Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer in mid to late 2007, a new Chief Corporate Development Officer and Vice President Finance in early 2008, as well as some additional key employees all contributed to a larger expense in Q1 of 2008. Compensation commensurate with the calibre of the new management team as well as the addition of more employees and consultants in marketing, technology, product management and customer service have contributed significantly to this increase. This investment in the future of the Company matches the quality of the assets. The tightened job market and the appreciating Canadian dollar indicate that recruitment costs will continue to be high into the foreseeable future. In addition to these new members of executive management, additional senior employees will be added in 2008.

Compared to the previous quarter, in Q4 of 2007, management fees and staff salaries of $884,998 were recorded. This amount includes stock-based compensation of $365,180.  Excluding this amount, management fees were $519,818. The increase in Q1 of 2008 over Q4 of 2007 is 13.8%.  This increase represents an investment in the future of the Company as additional key management and employees joined the team.

Management fees and staff salaries, excluding stock-based compensation, represented 31.9% of total revenues in Q1 of 2008 compared to 11.1% in Q1 of 2007.  Given the caliber of current management, employees and consultants, it is reasonable to maintain salaries expense at approximately 30% of revenues for the next two subsequent quarters.

Marketing

The Company acquires internet traffic by paying-for-clicks, email and affiliate marketing. In Q1 of 2008, the Company incurred total marketing expenses of $175,646.  In this total, $26,459 were corporate marketing expenses related to the public relations around repositioning the Company’s business.  ECommerce marketing expenses in Q1 of 2008 were $149,187 or 8.2% of eCommerce sales compared to $90,389 or 6.4% of eCommerce sales in Q1 of 2007, not including FT eCommerce revenues as noted above.  Marketing expenses have been growing substantially during 2007 and 2008, and were $460,074 or 12% of eCommerce sales in Q4 of 2007. Management expects marketing costs to increase over the next several fiscal quarters as management repositions Perfume.com and invests in new customer acquisitions.  Management believes that customer acquisition is the key to accelerated growth, and related costs to target and attract new customers are expected to be the largest part of these increased marketing costs. The increase in Q1 of 2008 is in line with Management’s expectations.

The Company’s websites’ search rankings currently perform adequately however management believes targeted keywords advertising at opportune times will bring additional traffic to its retail domain sites. Management believes that the increased advertising expenditures were a major contributing factor to increased revenues in Q1 of 2008.

During Q1 of 2008, the Company incurred various costs relating to establishing the Memorandum of Understanding signed in April 2008 with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the DLF Indian Premier League (IPL). During the quarter, these costs included $17,125 in consulting fees and $38,192 in travel expenses that were incurred in order to pursue this opportunity with the BCCI and IPL.  There were no such costs in Q1 of 2007.  Refer to Note 16 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

Other Expenses

During Q1 of 2008, the Company incurred various unusual and one-time costs relating to restructuring, the recruiting and relocating costs associated with attracting the new management team.  In Q1 of 2008, such costs included severance payments to our former Chief Financial Officer of $168,429, $25,657 in consulting fees to our former Chief Financial Officer, $317,109 in signing bonuses to our new Chief Corporate Development Officer and our new Vice President Finance, a severance payment of $53,582 to one of our full time employees, $39,778 in costs related to changing the Company name and rebranding, and $25,301 in some final windup costs related to the FT disposition in late 2007.  There were no such costs in Q1 of 2007.  However, in Q4 of 2007, such costs included a $205,183 severance payment to our former Chief Executive Officer, $30,558 in consulting fees to our former Chief Executive Officer, a $205,183 signing bonus to our new President and Chief Operating Officer, $196,806 of general legal costs associated with the preparation of employment agreements, severance agreements and stock option agreements.
 
(e)           Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company generates revenues from (i) the sale of third-party products and services by means of eCommerce over the Internet; (2) "pay-per-click" advertising revenue; (3) selling advertising on media rich websites with relevant content; and (4) the trading of domain name assets.

As at March 31, 2008, the Company had current assets in excess of current liabilities resulting in a positive working capital of $4,001,968 as compared to a working capital of $5,930,413 at the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. During the three-months ended March 31, 2008, the Company had a net loss of $1,994,218 and a decrease in cash of $2,469,500, compared to net loss of $28,772 and a decrease in cash of $757,846 for the same three-month period of last year. From the beginning of the fiscal year to March 31, 2008, the Company has increased its accumulated deficit to $4,519,896 from $2,525,678 and has stockholders’ equity of $6,163,679.
 
Operating Activities
 
Operating activities in Q1 of 2008 resulted in cash outflows of $1,960,163 after adjustments for non-cash items, the most significant of which are the gain from the sales-type lease of a domain name of $169,070, the stock-based compensation expensed during the year of $482,144 and the decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $333,637 partially due to the payment of fiscal year end accrued audit and legal fees. In Q1 of 2007, cash outflows of $275,334 were primarily due to the decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $235,960 during the quarter.
 
Investing Activities
 
Investing activities in Q1 of 2008 generated cash outflows of $509,337, as the Company invested approximately $154,000 in the purchase of property and equipment, mostly consisting of furniture and equipment for our new office location, as well as $147,000 into website development. Investing activities in the quarter also included proceeds of $24,287 from a sales-type lease for surrey.com.  In Q1 of 2007, cash from investing activities used $482,512 to purchase “available for sale” securities, which were all subsequently sold in the 2007 fiscal year end.
 
Financing Activities
 
Financing activities in Q1 of 2008 and Q1 of 2007 generated no cash inflows or outflows.

Future Operations

While Management believes it has made significant progress in enhancing its liquidity, there is no certainty that the improvements can continue in view of changing market conditions, technological innovations and legal and regulatory requirements. For 2008, Management expects to expend some of its cash in additional marketing costs, which it believes will translate into higher revenue growth. Management also plans to attract and retain additional talent for new and existing management and staff positions in order to execute on its business plan for 2008.  There is no certainty that the profit margins the Company may generate will be sufficient to offset the anticipated marketing and salary expenditures and may result in net cash outflow for 2008.

While the Company has positive working capital, its currently reported quarter has experienced a loss. Management expects to continue to incur losses in the coming quarters as planned general and administrative and marketing expenditures increase. Management believes that the Company has sufficient cash and will generate sufficient working capital allowing it to continue to operate over the next twelve months. However, if the operating losses continue and exceed plan, the Company may be required to seek additional capital from external sources. The Company may also seek to explore new business opportunities, including the building or acquisition of a distribution center or warehouse in the United States to enhance its fragrance fulfillment capability and improve gross margins. These acquisitions may require additional cash beyond what is available and such funds may be raised by way of equity and/or debt financing, and through the sale of non-strategic domain name assets. However, access to such funds is not assured and Management may not be able to enter into arrangements with potential lenders or raise the required funds from such financings. If unable to raise adequate funds as needed, Management may seek other alternatives including approaching current shareholders or curtailing some activities to better match short term outlays with current cash resources.

The Company has no current plans to purchase any significant property and equipment.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2008, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, including any outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts.  Our Company does not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

(f)           Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.  Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies.  We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our operating results and financial position.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues, and associated costs of goods sold, from the on-line sales of products, currently consisting primarily of fragrances and other beauty products, are recorded upon shipment of products and determination that collection is reasonably assured. The Company does not record inventory as an asset because all products sold are delivered to the customer on a “just-in-time” basis by inventory suppliers.  All associated shipping and handling costs are recorded as cost of goods sold.

Revenue from the sale of domain names, whose carrying values are recorded as intangible assets, consists primarily of funds earned for the transfer of rights to domain names that are currently in the Company’s control. Collectibility of revenues generated are usually subject to a high level of uncertainty; accordingly revenues are recognized only as received.  There were no sales of domain names in Q1 of 2008 or the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Revenue from the sales-type leases of domain names, whose carrying values are recorded as intangible assets, consists primarily of funds earned over a period of time for the transfer of rights to domain names that are currently in the Company’s control. Collectibility of these revenues generated are reasonably assured and therefore accounted for as a sales-type lease in the period the transaction occurs.  In January 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated third party for a sales-type lease of surrey.com for $200,000CAD.  The terms of the lease agreement provide for five lease payments over a term of two years.  Title and rights to the domain name will be transferred to the purchaser only when full payment is received.  Payments received per the agreement are forfeited if the contract is terminated or if subsequent payments do not comply with the agreement.  The present value of the lease payments are reflected as revenues in Q1 2008.  The investment in the sales-type lease is reflected on a net basis after the receipt of the first lease payment.

Web advertising revenue consists primarily of commissions earned from the referral of visitors to the Company’s sites to other parties. The amount and collectibility of these referral commissions is subject to uncertainty; accordingly, revenues are recognized when the amount can be determined and collectibility can be reasonably assured. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent,” the Company records web advertising revenue net of service costs.

Until the disposal of the Company’s shares in FrequentTraveller.com Inc., revenues from the sales of travel products, including tours, airfares and hotel reservations, where the Company acted as the merchant of record and had inventory risk, were recorded on a gross basis. Customer deposits received prior to ticket issuance or 30-days prior to travel were recorded as deferred revenue. Where the Company did not act as the merchant of record and had no inventory risk, revenues were recorded at the net amounts, without any associated cost of revenue in accordance with EITF 99-19.

Stock-Based Compensation

During the third quarter of 2007, we implemented the following new critical accounting policy related to our stock-based compensation. Beginning July 1, 2007, we began accounting for stock options under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No,123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123(R)”), which requires the recognition of the fair value of stock-based compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions for FAS 123(R), stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the awards expected to vest and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period of the award. We have used the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate fair value of our stock-based awards which require various judgmental assumptions including estimating price volatility and expected life. Our computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of historic and market-based implied volatility. In addition, we consider many factors when estimating expected life, including types of awards and historical experience. If any of these assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model change significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from what is recorded in the current period.

In August 2007, the Company’s board of directors approved a Stock Incentive Plan to make available 5,000,000 shares of common stock to be awarded as restricted stock awards or stock options, in the form of incentive stock options (“ISO”) or non-qualified stock options to be granted to employees of the Company, and other stock options to be granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants, independent contractors and advisors of the Company, provided such consultants, independent contractors and advisors render bona-fide services not in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction or promotion of the Company’s securities.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) and the conclusions reached by the EITF in Issue No. 96-18.  Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by EITF 96-18.

Intangible Assets

The Company has adopted the provision of the SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, which revises the accounting for purchased goodwill and intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized and are tested for impairment annually. The determination of any impairment would include a comparison of estimated future operating cash flows anticipated during the remaining life with the net carrying value of the asset as well as a comparison of the fair value to book value of the Company.

The Company’s intangible assets, which consist of its portfolio of generic domain names, have been determined to have an indefinite life and as a result are not amortized.  Management has determined that there is no impairment of the carrying value of intangible assets at March 31, 2008.

Website Development Costs

The Company has adopted the provisions of EITF No. 00-2, "Accounting for Web Site Development Costs," whereby costs incurred in the preliminary project phase are expensed as incurred; costs incurred in the application development phase are capitalized; and costs incurred in the post-implementation operating phase are expensed as incurred.  Website development costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life.  Costs are capitalized during the application development phase.  Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if they result in added functionality which enables the software to perform tasks it was previously incapable of performing. The costs are related to infrastructure development of various websites that the Company operates. In previous periods, costs qualifying for capitalization were immaterial and therefore were expensed as incurred. Website maintenance, training, data conversion and business process reengineering costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

In Q1 of 2008, $147,025 in website development costs incurred in the application development phase were capitalized.  No amortization has been recorded in Q1 of 2008 as the websites have not yet reached the post-implementation operating phase.
 
(g)           Recent Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS 160
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, and simultaneously revised SFAS 141 “Business Combinations”.  This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which, for the Company, would be the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. An entity may not adopt the policy before the transitional date.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 160 and the revision of SFAS 141 on its financial position and results of operations.

SFAS 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities". This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets, financial liabilities, and certain other items at fair value, with the objective of improving financial reporting by mitigating volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex accounting provisions. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. The provisions of SFAS No. 159 were adopted January 1, 2008. The Company elected the Fair Value Option for its financial assets and liabilities, however, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 had no material impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measures". This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the FASB anticipates that for some entities, the application of SFAS No. 157 will change current practice. The effective date of SFAS No. 157 has been deferred on February 12, 2008 to become effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, which for the Company would be the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 157 on its financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION


Nature of business
Communicate.com Inc. (“the Company”) through its subsidiary, Domain Holdings Inc. (“DHI”), owns a portfolio of generic domain names.  DHI’s current business strategy is to develop or to seek partners to develop its domain names to include content, commerce and community applications.  DHI is currently developing websites on two domain names; one that provides e-commerce for fragrance and other health and beauty products, and another that will be a media rich consumer experience on a sports related website where the revenue model is based on paid advertising.  DHI develops content and sells advertising services on the domains held for future development.
 
On March 13, 2008, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary in the state of Delaware, Communicate.com Delaware, Inc. (“Delaware”).  The new subsidiary has been incorporated in relation to the Auctomatic transaction. Refer to Note 14.  The Company’s subsidiary, DHI, owns 100% of 0778229 B.C. Ltd. (“Importers”), Acadia Management Corp. (“Acadia”), and a dormant company 613784 B.C. Ltd. (“613784”).
 
As at December 31, 2006, the Company owned 50.4% of the outstanding shares in FrequentTraveller.com Inc. (“FT”), a Nevada private company incorporated on October 29, 2002.  FT was a full service travel agency that catered to Internet-based customers seeking tours and other travel services.  On November 12, 2007, the Company disposed of its controlling interest in FT and at the end of 2007 no longer had any ownership in FT.  Refer to Note 4.

On March 26, 2008, the Company announced its intention to change its legal name to “Live Current Media Inc.” and will seek  formal shareholder approval to do so later in 2008.  Pending shareholder approval, Communicate.com Inc. will be doing business as "Live Current Media Inc."

Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in preparation of these consolidated financial statements:

Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Delaware, its 98.2% (December 31, 2007 - 94.9%) interest in its subsidiary DHI and DHI’s wholly owned subsidiaries Importers, Acadia, and 613784.  The comparative figures in 2007 include its 50.4% interest in FT (from January 1, 2007 until the sale of the Company’s controlling interest in FT on November 12, 2007).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of intangible assets, fair value measurement, related party transactions, stock based compensation, determination and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and for the periods that the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue recognition
Revenues, and associated costs of goods sold, from the on-line sales of products, currently consisting primarily of fragrances and other beauty products, are recorded upon shipment of products and determination that collection is reasonably assured. The Company does not record inventory as an asset because all products sold are delivered to the customer on a “just-in-time” basis by inventory suppliers.  All associated shipping and handling costs are recorded as cost of goods sold.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 
Revenue recognition (continued)
Web advertising revenue consists primarily of commissions earned from the referral of visitors to the Company’s sites to other parties. The amount and collectibility of these referral commissions is subject to uncertainty; accordingly, revenues are recognized when the amount can be determined and collectibility can be reasonably assured. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent,” the Company records web advertising revenue net of service costs.

Until the disposal of the Company’s shares in FrequentTraveller.com Inc. on November 12, 2007, revenues from the sales of travel products, including tours, airfares and hotel reservations, where the Company acts as the merchant of record and has inventory risk, were recorded on a gross basis. Customer deposits received prior to ticket issuance or 30-days prior to travel were recorded as deferred revenue. Where the Company did not act as the merchant of record and had no inventory risk, revenues were recorded at the net amounts, without any associated cost of revenue in accordance with EITF 99-19.  See also Note 4.

Revenue from the sale of domain names, whose carrying values are recorded as intangible assets, consists primarily of funds earned for the transfer of rights to domain names that are currently in the Company’s control. Collectibility of revenues generated are usually subject to a high level of uncertainty; accordingly revenues are recognized only as received.  There were no sales of domain names in Q1 of 2008 or the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Revenue from the sales-type leases of domain names, whose carrying values are recorded as intangible assets, consists primarily of funds earned over a period of time for the transfer of rights to domain names that are currently in the Company’s control. Collectibility of these revenues generated are reasonably assured and therefore accounted for as a sales-type lease in the period the transaction occurs.  In January 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated third party for a sales-type lease of surrey.com for $200,000CAD.  The terms of the lease agreement provide for five lease payments over a term of two years.  Title and rights to the domain name will be transferred to the purchaser only when full payment is received.  Payments received per the agreement are forfeited if the contract is terminated or if subsequent payments do not comply with the agreement.  The present value of the lease payments are reflected as revenues in Q1 2008.  The investment in the sales-type lease is reflected on a net basis after the receipt of the first lease payment.

Foreign currency transactions
The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars.  The functional currency of the Company is United States dollars.  In accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”, the foreign currency financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars.  Monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the foreign exchange rate that prevailed at the balance sheet date.  Revenue and expenses are translated at weighted average rates of exchange during the year and stockholders’ equity accounts and certain other historical cost balances are translated by using historical exchange rates.  Any resulting exchange gains and losses are presented as cumulative foreign currency translation gains (losses) within other accumulated comprehensive income (loss).

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the respective transaction dates and gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

Cash and cash equivalents
The company considers all highly liquid instruments, with original maturity dates of three months or less at the time of issuance, to be cash equivalents.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


Property & Equipment
These assets are stated at cost. Minor additions and improvements are charged to operations, and major additions are capitalized. Upon retirement, sale or other disposition, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and a gain or loss is included in operations.

Amortization for equipment is computed using declining balance method at the following annual rates:
 
Office Furniture and Equipment    20%
Computer Equipment  30%
Computer Software   100%

Amortization for leasehold improvements is computed on a straight-line method calculated over the term of the lease.  Additions are amortized on a half-year basis in the year of acquisition.

Intangible assets
The Company has adopted the provision of the SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, which revises the accounting for purchased goodwill and intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized and are tested for impairment annually. The determination of any impairment would include a comparison of estimated future operating cash flows anticipated during the remaining life with the net carrying value of the asset as well as a comparison of the fair value to book value of the Company.

The Company’s intangible assets, which consist of its portfolio of generic domain names, have been determined to have an indefinite life and as a result are not amortized.  Management has determined that there is no impairment of the carrying value of intangible assets at March 31, 2008.

Deferred Revenue
Revenue that has been received but does not yet qualify for recognition under the Company's policies is reflected as either deferred revenue or long-term deferred revenue. As at March 31, 2008 the Company recorded current deferred revenue of $19,644 (December 31, 2007 – $53,079).

Deferred Lease Inducements
Lease inducements, including rent free periods, are deferred and accounted for as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the related lease on a straight-line basis.

Website development costs
The Company has adopted the provisions of EITF No. 00-2, "Accounting for Web Site Development Costs," whereby costs incurred in the preliminary project phase are expensed as incurred; costs incurred in the application development phase are capitalized; and costs incurred in the post-implementation operating phase are expensed as incurred.  Website development costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life.  Costs are capitalized during the application development phase.  Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if they result in added functionality which enables the software to perform tasks it was previously incapable of performing. The costs are related to infrastructure development of various websites that the Company operates. In previous periods, costs qualifying for capitalization were immaterial and therefore were expensed as incurred. Website maintenance, training, data conversion and business process reengineering costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

In Q1 of 2008, $147,025 in website development costs incurred in the application development phase were capitalized.  No amortization has been recorded in Q1 of 2008 as the websites have not yet reached the post-implementation operating phase.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 
Stock-based compensation
During the third quarter of 2007, the Company implemented the following new critical accounting policy related to our stock-based compensation. Beginning on July 1, 2007, the Company began accounting for stock options under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (FAS 123(R)), which requires the recognition of the fair value of stock-based compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions for FAS 123(R), stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the awards expected to vest and recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period of the award. The Company has used the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate fair value of its stock-based awards, which requires various judgmental assumptions including estimating stock price volatility and expected life. The Company’s computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of historical and market-based volatility. In addition, the Company considers many factors when estimating expected life, including types of awards and historical experience. If any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model change significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period.

In August 2007, the Company’s board of directors approved an Incentive Stock Option Plan to make available 5,000,000 incentive stock options (“ISO”) to be granted to employees of the Company, and other stock options to be granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants, independent contractors and advisors of the Company, provided such consultants, independent contractors and advisors render bona-fide services not in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction or promotion of the Company’s securities.  See also Note 7.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and the conclusions reached by the EITF in Issue No. 96-18.  Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by EITF 96-18.
 
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing earnings for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Fully diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including other potential common stock in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for a period and is not presented where the effect is anti-dilutive.

Comprehensive income (loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.

Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities". This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets, financial liabilities and certain other items at fair value, with the objective of improving financial reporting by mitigating volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex accounting provisions. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. The provisions of SFAS No. 159 were adopted January 1, 2008. The Company elected the Fair Value Option for its financial assets and liabilities, however, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 had no material impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, and simultaneously revised SFAS 141 “Business Combinations”.  This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which, for the Company, would be the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. An entity may not adopt the policy before the transitional date.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 160 and the revision of SFAS 141 on its financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measures". This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the FASB anticipates that for some entities, the application of SFAS No. 157 will change current practice. The effective date of SFAS No. 157 has been deferred on February 12, 2008 to become effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, which for the Company would be the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 157 on its financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 3 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


Interest rate risk exposure
The Company has limited exposure to any fluctuation in interest rates.

Foreign exchange risk
The Company is subject to foreign exchange risk for sales and purchases denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currency risk arises from the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates relative to the United States dollar. The Company does not actively manage this risk.

Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with high credit quality financial institutions. Receivables arising from sales to customers are generally not significant individually and are not collateralized. Management regularly monitors the financial condition of its customers to reduce the risk of loss.

Fair values of Financial Instruments
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107. “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” The Company has determined the estimated fair value amounts by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are approximately equal to their carrying value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.

NOTE 4 – NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

 
The Company currently holds 98.2% (December 31, 2007 – 94.9%) of its principal operating subsidiary’s, DHI’s, outstanding shares.  During the quarter, DHI issued 40,086,645 shares to Communicate at fair value in exchange for a conversion of Intercompany debt of $3,000,000, therefore diluting the non-controlling interest by 3.3%. This conversion was accounted for using the purchase method.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company owned a 50.4% controlling interest in FrequentTraveller.com Inc. (“FT”) a private Nevada corporation incorporated on October 29, 2002.  FT provided travel services to customers online and by telephone to destinations encompassed by the geographic domain names owned by the Company, pursuant to a domain lease agreement entered with FT, dated May 1, 2005 (the “Domain Lease Agreement”).  FT commenced operations in November 2003.  On November 12, 2007, the Company sold its remaining 50.4% share holdings in FT via an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”).

As part of this agreement the Domain Lease Agreement was cancelled for nil consideration, and all ties with FT were severed. Intercompany debt of $265,000 was cancelled and the rights to use the domain names were returned to the Company. The Company assumed no liabilities of FT going-forward.  The resulting gain of $276,805 on the disposal of the subsidiary was booked as other income. The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities foregone in exchange for the Company’s shareholding.

(v)  
On March 14, 2008, the Company granted to a director 100,000 options to purchase the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.48 per share.  The Company valued these options using the Black Scholes option price model using the following assumptions: no dividend yield; expected volatility rate of 73.39%; risk free interest rate of 1.65% and an expected life of 3 years resulting in a value of $1.21 per option granted.

(vi)  
Between January 1, 2008 and March 31, 2008, the Company granted to its full-time employees a total of 290,000 options to purchase the Company’s common stock at a range of prices between $2.06 and $3.30 per share.  The Company valued these options using the Black Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: no dividend yield; expected volatility rate of between 73.34% and 75.66%; risk free interest rates of between 1.79% and 3.07% and an expected life of 3 years resulting in a value of between $1.05 and $1.66 per option granted.

Between January 1, 2008 and March 31, 2008, the Company granted to consultants a total of 70,000 options to purchase the Company’s common stock at prices ranging from $2.06 to $2.48 per share.  The Company is valuing these options at each reporting period under FAS 123(R) for non-employees using the Black Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: no dividend yield; expected volatility rate of 73.34%; risk free interest rates of 1.79% and an expected life of 3 years resulting in a value of $1.38 per option granted.

All of the options noted in (i) to (vii) vest over three years and are exercisable for a period of five years based on the date of grant.  Management does not expect any forfeitures to occur as over 90% of the options in question have been granted to senior officers, senior employees and directors of the Company who are not expected to leave in the near future.  This is the first year of the Stock Option Plan and this assumption will be reassessed on an annual basis.  The fair value of these options at March 31, 2008 of $7,272,100 (December 31, 2007 - $4,396,000) will be recognized on a straight-line basis over a vesting term of 3 years and accordingly, an expense has been recognized in Q1 2008 of $482,144 (FYE 2007 - $428,028) and included in management fees and employee salaries expense.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES


The Company’s subsidiaries, DHI, Acadia, Importers, and 613784 B.C. Ltd. are subject to federal and provincial taxes in Canada and the Company and its subsidiary FT (until the date of disposition on November 12, 2007) are subject to United States federal and state taxes.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax and Canadian income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state and local jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, as well as the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of March 31, 2008.  The Company may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to the Company’s financial results. In the event the Company has received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense.

As at the last fiscal tax year December 31, 2007, the Company and its subsidiaries have net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2,507,000 that result in deferred tax assets.  These loss carryforwards will expire, if not utilized, through 2027.  The Company’s subsidiary DHI also has approximately $1,592,000 in undepreciated capital costs relating to property and equipment that have not been amortized for tax purposes.  The Company’s subsidiaries Acadia and Importers also have approximately $2,943,000 combined in undepreciated capital costs relating to intangible assets that have not been amortized for tax purposes.  The costs may be amortized in future years as necessary to reduce taxable income.  Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these deferred tax assets is uncertain and accordingly, a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset benefit has been recorded.

NOTE 9 – SEGMENTED INFORMATION


The Company’s eCommerce operations have historically been conducted in three business segments, Domain Leasing and Advertising, eCommerce Products and eCommerce Services. The business segment of eCommerce services ended upon the termination of the Company’s relationship with FT on November 12, 2007.  Revenues, operating profits and net identifiable assets by business segments are as follows:

NOTE 11 – CONTINGENCY


The former Chief Executive Officer of DHI commenced a legal action against DHI on March 9, 2000 for wrongful dismissal and breach of contract.  He is seeking, at a minimum, 18.39% of the outstanding shares of DHI, specific performance of his contract, special damages in an approximate amount of $30,000, aggravated and punitive damages, interest and costs. On June 1, 2000, DHI filed a Defence and Counterclaim against this individual claiming damages and special damages for breach of fiduciary duty and breach of his employment contract. The outcome of these legal actions is currently not determinable and as such the amount of loss, if any, resulting from this litigation is presently not determinable.  To date, there has been no further action taken by the plaintiff since the filing of the initial legal action on March 9, 2000.

On March 25, 2008, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Communicate.com Delaware, Inc. (“Delaware”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Entity, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“Auctomatic”). The Company believes that Auctomatic’s technology framework and toolset will strengthen its commerce platform and Auctomatic’s team will dramatically enhance the Company’s product and technology capability.

The Merger Agreement is anticipated to close on May 23, 2008 (the “Closing Date”).  In connection with the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of Auctomatic shall receive in total (i) $2,000,000 cash minus certain assumed liabilities and (ii) such number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to $3,000,000 divided by the lower of (a) $3.00 per share or (b) the closing price of the Company’s share on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, provided that the denominator shall not be less than $2.50, in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of Auctomatic.

The consideration is payable on the Closing Date as follows: (i) 34% of the common stock and (ii) $1,200,000.  The remaining 66% of the common stock shall be distributed in equal amounts on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the Closing Date. The remaining $800,000 of the total Cash Consideration shall be distributed on the first anniversary of the Closing Date.  All amounts of cash and common stock shall be distributed pro rata among the Auctomatic Stockholders. The distribution of the common stock payable on the first, second and third anniversary of the Closing Date to the Founders is subject to their continuing employment with the Company or a subsidiary on each Distribution Date.

As at March 31, 2008, $121,265 of acquisition costs had been incurred and will be deferred until the Closing Date, at which time these costs will be allocated to the purchase price.

NOTE 15 – DOMAIN NAME LEASES AND SALES

 
On January 17, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to lease Surrey.com to an unrelated third party for CAD$200,000.  The terms of the agreement provide for the receipt of this amount in five irregular lease payments over a two-year term.  The first payment of $25,000CAD was due on January 17, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), $45,000CAD is due 3 months after the Effective Date, $80,000CAD is due 6 months after the Effective Date, $25,000CAD is due 1 year after the Effective Date, and $25,000CAD is due 2 years after the Effective Date. The Company will lease the domain name to the third party exclusively during the term of the agreement.  Title and rights to the domain name will be transferred to the purchaser only when full payment is received at the end of the lease term.  If the third party defaults on any payments, the agreement terminates, funds received to date are forfeited by the lessee, and rights to the domain name return to the Company.  This transaction has been recorded as a sales-type lease in Q1 of 2008.  The investment in a sales-type lease of $163,963 has been recorded on the balance sheet on a net basis after the lease payments received to date.  Revenues of $168,206 have been recorded at the present value of the lease payments over the term, net of the cost of the domain name, at an implicit rate of 6%.

There were no sales of domain names in Q1 of 2008 or the 2007 fiscal year.

The BCCI will be guaranteed on a combined basis a minimum of US $3 million annually and the IPL US $ 2 million annually through revenue sharing agreements including percentages of advertising, sponsorship and merchandising sales.  The Company is currently negotiating definitive binding agreements to finalize the terms of the transaction.

NOTE 17 – COMPARATIVE FIGURES
