NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1 - INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by CyberDefender Corporation (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements.  The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes for the Company for its year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The results for the nine-month interim period ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2009. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 12, 2009, the filing date of this form 10-Q, and determined that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the condensed financial statements or disclosure in the notes thereto other than as disclosed in the accompanying notes.

NOTE 2 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business
The Company, based in Los Angeles, California, is a provider of secure content management software. The Company develops, markets and licenses security software and related services. The Company’s goal is to bring to market advanced solutions to protect computer users against identity theft, Internet viruses, spyware, and related computer threats. The Company markets its products directly to consumers.

The Company sells a suite of products and services that includes anti-malware software, a registry cleaner, technical support and identity protection services.  The Company markets its products through multiple channels including internet, radio, television and retail.

Reclassification
To conform prior year financial statements to the current year's presentation, as a result of management's continuing analysis of its operating activities, the Company reclassified $638,349 and $905,574 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, of amounts previously classified as operating expense to cost of sales, $144,000 and $344,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, of amounts previously classified as selling, general & administrative to investor relations and other related consulting expense, and $20,552 and $55,377 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, of amounts previously classified as selling, general & administrative to advertising expense with no effect on previously reported net loss. Additionally, the Company reclassified $15,000 from prepaid expenses to restricted cash at December 31, 2008.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management are, among others, recoverability of prepaid expenses and deferred charges, value of shares and options/warrants granted, valuation of derivative liabilities, valuation of deferred tax assets and recognition of revenue. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from three to seven years, using the straight-line method. 

Equipment under Capital Lease
The Company leases certain of its furniture and other equipment under agreements accounted for as capital leases. The assets and liabilities under capital lease are recorded at the lesser of the present value of aggregate future minimum lease payments, including estimated bargain purchase options, or the fair value of the assets under lease. Assets under capital lease are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Unless otherwise specified, the Company believes the carrying value of financial instruments approximates their fair value.

CYBERDEFENDER CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 2 -   NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of software licenses under the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 985, “Software.”

Specifically, the Company recognizes revenues from its products when all of the following conditions for revenue recognition are met:

 
  i.
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
 
 ii.
the product or service has been delivered,
 
iii.
the fee is fixed or determinable, and
 
iv.
collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

The Company currently sells five products, CyberDefender Early Detection Center (“EDC”), an antivirus and antispyware software, CyberDefender Registry Cleaner, CyberDefenderCOMPLETE, CyberDefenderULTIMATE and its Identity Protection Services, over the Internet. The Company also offers a backup CD of the EDC software for an additional fee. CyberDefenderCOMPLETE offers customers one-time technical support and a license for EDC, while CyberDefenderULTIMATE offers customers unlimited technical support for a specified period and a license for EDC. Customers order the product and simultaneously provide their credit card information to the Company. Upon receipt of authorization from the credit card issuer, the Company provides technical support if the customer purchased CyberDefenderULTIMATE or CyberDefenderCOMPLETE and licenses the customer to download EDC over the Internet. As part of the sales price, the Company provides renewable product support and content updates, which are separate components of product licenses and sales. Term licenses allow customers to use the Company’s products and receive product support coverage and content updates for a specified period, generally twelve months. The Company invoices for product support, content updates and term licenses at the beginning of the term. These revenues contain multiple element arrangements where “vendor specific objective evidence” (“VSOE”) may not exist for one or more of the elements. EDC and CyberDefenderULTIMATE are in substance a subscription and the entire fee is deferred and is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement. Revenue is recognized immediately for the sale of the backup CD, CyberDefender Registry Cleaner and for the portion of the sale of CyberDefenderCOMPLETE that relates to the one-time technical support as the Company believes that all of the elements necessary for revenue recognition have occurred. The Company stopped selling CyberDefenderCOMPLETE in July 2009 but began sales of the product again in September 2009.

The Company also uses third parties to sell its software and therefore evaluates the criteria of FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of revenue and related costs or the net amount earned as commissions. The Company is the primary obligor, is subject to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers, establishes product specifications, and has the risk of loss. Accordingly, the Company's revenue is recorded on a gross basis.

The Company also offers two products which are free to the subscriber, CyberDefender FREE 2.0 and MyIdentityDefender Toolbar. Revenues are earned from advertising networks which pay the Company to display advertisements inside the software or through the toolbar search. The Company recognizes revenue from the advertising networks monthly based on a rate determined either by the quantity of the ads displayed or the performance of the ads based on the amount of times the ads are clicked by the user. Furthermore, advertising revenue is recognized provided that no significant Company obligations remain at the end of a period and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. The Company’s obligations do not include guarantees of a minimum number of impressions.

Deferred Charges
The Company uses a third party to provide technical support services associated with the CyberDefenderULTIMATE product.  The costs associated with this service are deferred and amortized against the recognition of the related sales revenue.

Reserves for Product Returns
The Company’s policy with respect to product returns is defined in its End User License Agreement (“EULA”), which states “...products purchased that are downloadable are refundable within the first 30 days after the date of purchase.” Product returns are generally received within 30 days of the original sale and are charged against the associated sale upon receipt of the return.  A chargeback occurs when a customer contacts their issuing credit card company directly to request a refund instead of contacting the Company.  The Company’s third party processor is usually notified within 30 days of any chargebacks by the issuing credit card company.  The third party processor reduces the amounts due to the Company as a result of any chargeback during the preceding 30 day period.  As a result, a majority of chargebacks occur within 30 days of the sale event and are recorded prior to closing the previous month’s accounting records.  The Company may voluntarily accept returns from a customer after 30 days of purchase. The returns are charged against revenues upon receipt. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had $0 accrued for customer returns and chargebacks, based on historical returns.

Concentrations of Risk
As of September 30, 2009, all of our cash was maintained at a major financial institution in the United States. At times, deposits held with the financial institution may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, are believed to bear low risk. Effective October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 raised the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit coverage limits to $250,000 per owner from $100,000 per owner. This program is currently available through December 31, 2009.  As of September 30, 2009, the Company had a balance of approximately $1.5 million in excess of the FDIC limit.

Advertising expenses are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of various forms of media purchased from Internet-based marketers and search engines. Advertising purchased from four vendors accounted for 35% and 64% of the Company’s total advertising expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. Advertising purchased from four vendors accounted for 95% and 94% of the Company’s total advertising expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Income Taxes
The Company has adopted the liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect tax consequences on future years for the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” prescribes recognition thresholds that must be met before a tax position is recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. An entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold. The Company did not make any adjustment to opening retained earnings as a result of the implementation.

Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements. The Company’s evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2004 through 2008 for U.S. Federal Income Tax and for the tax years ended December 31, 2003 through 2008 for the State of California Income Tax.

The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2009 that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax issues as components of income tax expense. The Company did not recognize or have any accrual for interest and penalties relating to income taxes as of September 30, 2009.

Software Development Costs
The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 985, “Software.” Such costs are expensed prior to achievement of technological feasibility and thereafter are capitalized. There have been very limited software development costs incurred between the time the software and its related enhancements have reached technological feasibility and its general release to customers. As a result, all software development costs have been charged to product development expense.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has adopted all accounting pronouncements effective before September 30, 2009 which are applicable to the Company.

In June 2009, the FASB issued a statement that modifies the GAAP hierarchy by establishing only two levels of GAAP, authoritative and nonauthoritative accounting literature. Effective July 2009, the FASB ASC, also known collectively as the “Codification,” is considered the single source of authoritative U.S. accounting and reporting standards, except for additional authoritative rules and interpretive releases issued by the SEC.  Nonauthoritative guidance and literature would include, among other things, FASB Concepts Statements, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Issue Papers and Technical Practice Aids. The Codification was developed to organize GAAP pronouncements by topic so that users can more easily access authoritative accounting guidance.  It is organized by topic, subtopic, section, and paragraph, each of which is identified by a numerical designation.  The Codification, which changes the referencing of financial standards, is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009.  All accounting references have been updated, and therefore Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) references have been replaced with ASC references. As the Codification is not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 2 -   NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging, that applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock. As a result, as of January 1, 2009, 7,134,036 of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock purchase warrants previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption were no longer afforded equity treatment. In addition, amounts related to the embedded conversion feature of convertible notes issued previous to January 1, 2009 and treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption were also no longer afforded equity treatment. As such, effective January 1, 2009, the Company reclassified the fair value of these common stock purchase warrants and the fair value of the embedded conversion features, which both have exercise price reset features, from equity to liability status as if these warrants and embedded conversion features were treated as a derivative liability since the earliest date of issue in September 2006. On January 1, 2009, the Company reclassified from additional paid-in capital, as a cumulative effect adjustment, $7,065,940 to beginning additional paid-in capital, $723,930 to opening retained earnings and $6,342,010 to a long-term derivative liability to recognize the fair value of such warrants and embedded conversion features on such date.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued 0 and 1,192,000 common stock purchase warrants that contained features that required the Company to record their fair value as a derivative liability.  In addition, the value related to the embedded conversion feature of convertible notes issued during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 were also recorded as a derivative liability. The fair value of these common stock purchase warrants and the embedded conversion feature on their respective value date for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $0 and $906,805.  We recognized income of $0 and $109,058 from the change in fair value of the outstanding warrants and embedded conversion feature for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

The Company obtained waivers from the warrant and note holders, pursuant to which the warrant and note holders forever waived, as of and after April 1, 2009, any and all conversion or exercise price adjustments that would otherwise occur, or would have otherwise occurred on or after April 1, 2009, as a result of the price reset provisions included in the warrants and notes. As a result of obtaining the waivers, the warrants and notes are now afforded equity treatment resulting in the elimination of the derivative liabilities of $7,139,757 and a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital.

In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” which amends previous Topic 825 guidance to require disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as annual financial statements. This pronouncement is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. Accordingly, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 825 on March 31, 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards of accounting for, and disclosures of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This pronouncement is effective for interim or fiscal periods ending after June 15, 2009. Accordingly, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 855 on March 31, 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 985, “Software,” which amends the scope of previous Topic 985 guidance to exclude all tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality.  This pronouncement is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and shall be applied on a prospective basis. Earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year provided it has not previously issued financial statements for any period within that year. The Company expects to adopt this pronouncement on January 1, 2010 and does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 985, “Software,” which requires companies to allocate revenue in arrangements involving multiple deliverables based on the estimated selling price of each deliverable, even though such deliverables are not sold separately either by the company itself or other vendors. This pronouncement eliminates the requirement that all undelivered elements must have objective and reliable evidence of fair value before a company can recognize the portion of the overall arrangement fee that is attributable to items that already have been delivered. As a result, the new pronouncement may allow some companies to recognize revenue on transactions that involve multiple deliverables earlier than under current requirements. This pronouncement is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of a company’s fiscal year. The Company expects to adopt this pronouncement on January 1, 2010 and the Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB released additional guidance now codified under FASB ASC Topic 820, which provides for delayed application of certain guidance related to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, except as it applies to those nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities for which the effective date has been delayed by one year, which we adopted on January 1, 2009. The implementation of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.
 
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter. The Company has no assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Loss Per Share
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, there were 14,114,207 and 11,432,958 shares of potentially dilutive securities outstanding, respectively. As the Company reported a net loss, none of the potentially dilutive securities were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share since their effect would be anti-dilutive for that reporting period.

Stock Based Compensation
The Company applies FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which requires companies to measure and recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value. For non-employee stock based compensation, the Company recognizes an expense in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 505, “Equity,” and values the equity securities based on the fair value of the security on the date of grant. For stock-based awards the value is based on the market value of the stock on the date of grant or the value of services, whichever is more readily available. Stock option awards are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 505, “Equity.” The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. An asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified for accounting purposes as an offset to equity on the grantor’s balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted. Accordingly, the Company records the fair value of the fully vested, non-forfeitable common stock issued for future consulting services as prepaid expense in its balance sheet.

NOTE 3 - RESTRICTED CASH

Under a credit card processing agreement with a financial institution the Company is required to maintain a security reserve deposit as collateral.  The amount of the deposit is at the discretion of the financial institution and as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $277,144 and $15,000, respectively.  As of the date of this filing, $267,654 of this security reserve deposit has been returned to the Company. Under a separate credit card processing agreement with a different financial institution the Company is also required to maintain a security reserve deposit as collateral. The amount of the deposit is currently based on 10% of the six month rolling sales volume and was $534,871 and $0 as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The security reserve deposit is funded by the institution withholding a portion of daily cash receipts from Visa and MasterCard transactions.  In addition, the financial institution required that the Company post a $250,000 letter of credit.  The letter of credit is collateralized by cash held in an account at the Company’s bank.

NOTE 3 - RESTRICTED CASH (continued)

On September 30, 2009, the Company entered into a second amendment to its lease as more fully described in Note 9 below. As part of the amendment the Company is required to issue a $250,000 letter of credit as a security deposit. The letter of credit is collateralized by cash held in an account at the Company’s bank. The account is interest bearing and the Company receives the interest that is earned. The balance in the cash collateral account was $500,078 and $0 as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Common Stock
On October 18, 2007, the Company began an offering of units. Each unit consisted of 25,000 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 18,750 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share. The warrants have a term of five years. Pursuant to the warrant agreements, from and after the warrant issue date, in the event the Company sells common stock for less than the exercise price or issues securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock at a conversion price or exercise price less than the exercise price (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the exercise price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of common stock sold and issued at the closing of such Dilutive Issuance plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of common stock sold and issued at the closing of such Dilutive Issuance would purchase at the exercise price, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the date of such Dilutive Issuance plus the number of additional shares of common stock sold and issued at the closing of such Dilutive Issuance. As of April 1, 2009, the holders of the warrants have waived their rights to any adjustments to the exercise price as a result of a Dilutive Issuance (see Note 2). The purchase price was $25,000 per unit.

During February and March 2008, the Company raised $175,000 through this offering and issued 175,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 131,250 shares of common stock.  The warrants issued in connection with the units were valued at $118,058 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Issuance costs consisted of a 7% cash fee and an additional warrant to purchase 8,750 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share valued at $7,895 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  In May 2008, the Company updated the agreement prospectively with the placement agent to increase both the cash and warrant placement fees from 7% to 9% as well as to provide to the placement agent a 2.5% cash expense allowance. During June 2008, the Company issued 400,000 shares and raised $354,000, net of placement fees, through this offering. The 300,000 warrants issued in connection with the units were valued at $271,438 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. During July and August, 2008, the Company issued 580,500 shares and raised $513,743, net of placement fees, through this offering.  The 435,375 warrants issued in connection with the units were valued at $468,931 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Issuance costs consisted of a 9% cash fee, 2.5% expense allowance and additional warrants at $1.00 per share to purchase 9% of the number of shares of common stock sold in the offering, valued at $44,812.

On February 12, 2008, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with New Castle Consulting. Pursuant to this agreement, New Castle provided investor relations services to the Company for a period of 6 months in exchange for payment of $4,500, which was made in conjunction with the execution of the agreement, a monthly fee of $4,500 the payment of which began in March 2008, the issuance of 100,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $100,000 and an indemnity.  As the shares were unforfeitable upon issuance and there was no guarantee of future benefit to be provided, the value of the shares was expensed upon issuance to investor relations and other related consulting expense in the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

On February 14, 2008, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Kulman IR. Pursuant to this agreement, Kulman was to provide investor relations services to the Company for a period of 12 months in exchange for a monthly fee of $3,500, the issuance of 100,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $100,000, the payment of pre-approved expenses incurred by Kulman in discharging its obligations under the agreement and cross-indemnities. In regards to the stock that was issued, 50,000 shares vested immediately, 25,000 shares vested on August 7, 2008 and the remaining 25,000 shares were to vest on October 7, 2008. During August 2008, the Company terminated the agreement and cancelled the 25,000 unvested shares. As there was no guarantee of future benefit to be provided, the value of the vested shares was expensed upon issuance to investor relations and other related consulting expense in the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

On July 15, 2008, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Frontier Capital Partners L.L.C. (“Frontier”) pursuant to which Frontier agreed to provide investor relations and other business advisory services. The agreement term was 3 months, but the agreement could be terminated by either party upon 5 days written notice. The agreement also includes provisions allowing immediate termination in the event of dissolution, bankruptcy or insolvency and for cause. The Company agreed to issue to Frontier 125,000 shares of its restricted common stock as compensation for these services. 75,000 of these shares, valued at $81,000, were issued immediately (upon execution of the agreement) and are deemed to be a non-refundable retainer. The remaining 50,000 shares, valued at $63,000, were issued 46 days after execution of the agreement. As the shares were unforfeitable upon issuance and there was no guarantee of future benefit to be provided, the value of the shares was expensed upon issuance to selling, general and administrative expense in the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

On August 14, 2008, a holder of warrants to purchase 98,121 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $1.01 per share exercised the warrants under Section 3(c) of the warrant document which allows for cashless exercise of the warrants. As a result, the Company issued 37,985 shares of its common stock.

In February 2009, the Company issued 94,628 shares of restricted common stock valued at $1.10 per share to a vendor as settlement for past services rendered.

On March 24, 2009, the Company entered into a Media and Marketing Services Agreement with GRM.  Pursuant to the agreement, GRM will provide direct response media campaigns, including radio and television direct response commercials, to promote the Company’s products and services and will purchase media time on the Company’s behalf.  During the term of the agreement, which is to continue until August 31, 2010, subject to certain rights of termination, GRM will be the exclusive provider of all media purchasing and direct response production services.  On June 23, 2009, because the agreement had not been terminated, the Company appointed a representative of GRM to the Company’s board of directors.  This director will continue to serve throughout the term of the agreement and for so long as GRM owns shares of the Company’s common stock or the right to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock which constitute at least 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

As compensation for GRM’s services, the Company agreed to amend the warrant described above so that the terms were consistent with the warrants described below.  None of the amended terms resulted in an accounting change to the warrant.  In conjunction with the execution of the Media and Marketing Services Agreement and for creating, financing, producing, testing and evaluating a television commercial to market the Company’s products, the Company issued to GRM a second 5 year warrant for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $1.25 per share valued at $712,303 using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  The fair value of the warrant was capitalized at the time of issuance and was expensed over the five month expected term of service. $142,460 and $712,303 was expensed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, to investor relations and other consulting expense.  This warrant may be exercised only for cash.  Finally, the Company agreed to issue to GRM a 5 year warrant (“Media Services Warrant”) for the purchase of 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share.  The Media Services Warrant may be exercised only with cash and is subject to vesting as follows:  for each $2 of media placement costs advanced by GRM on the Company’s behalf, the right to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock will vest.  As of September 30, 2009, the right to purchase 835,295 of the 8,000,000 Media Services Warrant shares has vested and was valued at $644,337 using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  The fair value of these 835,295 vested shares has been expensed to interest expense, $397,639 and $644,337 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, as the shares represent compensation to GRM for the advancement of media costs on the Company’s behalf. The remaining 7,164,705 shares from the Media Services Warrant are not guaranteed to vest as they are contingent on GRM advancing media placement costs, therefore, these unvested warrants have not been included or accounted for as outstanding dilutive securities at September 30, 2009.

If GRM terminates the agreement due to a breach by the Company in the Company’s performance or as a result of the Company’s discontinuance, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or insolvency, or if the Company terminates the agreement for any reason, any unexpired and unvested rights of GRM to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the agreement will immediately vest. If the Company breaches its payment obligations under the agreement and fails to cure the breach within 15 days after receiving notice from GRM, then the number of warrant shares which would otherwise vest during the month of the delinquent payment will automatically double.

On April 1, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant for management consulting and business advisory services on an as needed basis.  The consultant was granted a warrant to purchase 850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of five years at an exercise price of $1.25.  These warrants vest as follows: 300,000 immediately and 50,000 per month on the 1st day of each month commencing May 1, 2009 and ending March 1, 2010. As of September 30, 2009, the right to purchase 550,000 of the 850,000 warrant shares has vested and was valued at $506,759 using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  The fair value of the vested warrants, totaling $139,113 and $506,759 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, has been expensed to investor relations and other consulting expense.

On April 5, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant for marketing related services.  The agreement had a term of three months.  The agreement provided compensation of $13,000 for month one, $14,000 for month two and $15,000 for month three.  In addition, the consultant was granted a warrant to purchase 15,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of five years at an exercise price of $1.25.  This warrant was to vest 5,000 shares per month over the term of the agreement. On May 15, 2009, the original agreement was terminated, along with the right to purchase 8,387 shares of common stock that would have vested over the remaining term of the agreement, and the Company entered into a second agreement with the consultant.  The second agreement had a term of three months and provided for compensation of $17,500 for month one, of which 50% was deferred for 30 days, and $8,750 per month thereafter. In addition, the consultant was granted a warrant to purchase 15,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of five years at an exercise price of $1.25.  The warrant was to vest 5,000 shares per month over the term of the second agreement. The second agreement also provided for a bonus of up to 50,000 additional warrant shares at an exercise price of $1.83 for achieving certain goals. On June 15, 2009, the second agreement was terminated, along with the right to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock that would have vested in July and August 2009, and the Company entered into a third agreement with the consultant.  The third agreement had a term of two months. The third agreement provided compensation of $12,500 per month.

The weighted average grant date fair value of warrants granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $0.96 per warrant. As of September 30, 2009, 300,000 shares of common stock covered by a warrant, with an estimated remaining value of $278,226, will vest over the next six months. The weighted average remaining life of the vested warrants is 3.35 years. The outstanding warrants at September 30, 2009 are held by consultants and other service providers, stockholders, and former noteholders.

The Company’s common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market, therefore, we estimate the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions for the nine months ended September 30, 2009:

Annual dividend yield
   
0.0%
 
Average expected life (years)
   
2.07-5.10
 
Risk-free interest rate
   
2.42-3.72%
 
Expected volatility
   
85-103%
 
     
Expected volatility is based primarily on historical volatility. Historical volatility was computed using weekly pricing observations for the prior year. The Company believes this method produces an estimate that is representative of the Company’s expectations of future volatility over the expected term of these warrants. The Company currently has no reason to believe future volatility over the expected remaining life of these warrants is likely to differ materially from historical volatility. The expected life is based on the remaining term of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on 10-year U.S. Treasury securities.

NOTE 5 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

On September 12, 2006, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with 13 accredited investors pursuant to which it sold 10% secured convertible debentures (the “2006 Debentures”) in the aggregate principal amount of $3,243,378 and common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,243,378 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share. The 2006 Debentures are convertible at $1.00 (the “Base Conversion Price”) into shares of common stock. The 2006 Debentures mature on September 12, 2009 and bear interest at the rate of 10% per year, payable quarterly. If, during the time that the 2006 Debentures are outstanding, the Company sells or grants any option to purchase (other than options issued pursuant to a plan approved by our board of directors), or sells or grants any right to reprice its securities, or otherwise disposes of or issues any common stock or common stock equivalents entitling any person to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share that is lower than the conversion price of the debentures or that is higher than the Base Conversion Price but lower than the daily volume weighted average price of the common stock, then the conversion price of the 2006 Debentures will be reduced. During August 2009, the Company received a waiver whereby the holders of the 2006 Debentures permanently waived, as of and after April 1, 2009, any and all conversion or exercise price adjustments that would otherwise occur, or would have occurred on or after April 1, 2009, as a result of this provision.

Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement executed in conjunction with the offering, the Company is obligated to register for resale at least 130% of the shares of its common stock issuable upon the conversion of the 2006 Debentures and the exercise of the common stock purchase warrants. However, the agreement also prohibits the Company from registering shares of common stock on a registration statement that total more than one-half of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, reduced by 10,000 shares.

NOTE 5 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE (Continued)

If a registration statement was not filed within 30 days of the sale of the 2006 Debentures, or was not effective 120 days from the date of the sale of the 2006 Debentures, which was January 10, 2007, or if the Company did not respond to an SEC request for information during the registration period within 10 days of notice, the Company was required to pay to each holder of its 2006 Debentures an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.5% of the aggregate subscription amount paid by each holder. The Company, (1) was not liable for liquidated damages with respect to any warrants or warrant shares, (2) was not liable for liquidated damages in excess of 1.5% of the aggregate subscription amount of the holders in any 30-day period, and (3) the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a holder was 18% of the aggregate subscription amount paid by such holder up to a maximum aggregate liquidated damages of 18% of the total amount of the 2006 Debentures, or $583,808. If the Company failed to pay any partial liquidated damages in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company would pay interest at a rate of 18% per annum to the holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages were due until such amounts, plus all such interest, were paid in full. The partial liquidated damages applied on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month.

Pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Rights Agreement, the holders of the Company’s 2006 Debentures agreed to extend the filing date of the registration statement to October 31, 2006, and pursuant to Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Rights Agreement, the holders of the Company’s 2006 Debentures agreed to extend the filing date of the registration statement to November 3, 2006. The Company did not meet the 10 day response period for responding to an SEC request for additional information nor did the Company meet the target registration statement effectiveness date of January 10, 2007. The holders did not agree to waive the liquidated damages that accrued due to the Company’s failure to meet the 10 day period for responding to an SEC request for additional information nor did the holders agree to waive the liquidated damages that accrued due to the Company’s failure to have the registration statement declared effective by January 10, 2007.

The Company believed, at the time the 2006 Debentures were issued, that it was probable that it would be in violation of certain filing provisions within the Registration Rights Agreement and recorded $111,897 as a discount to the 2006 Debentures. On March 23, 2007 the Company entered into a Consent and Waiver agreement as more fully described below that determined the actual liquidated damages to be $169,917 calculated through March 23, 2007 and covering the period through April 30, 2007.

The Company was also required to make an interest payment to the 2006 Debenture holders on April 1, 2007. The Consent and Waiver allowed the Company to make the April 1 interest payment and pay the liquidated damages in one of two ways to be chosen by each holder. For payment of the 2006 Debenture holder’s pro rata portion of the April 1 interest payment, the 2006 Debenture holder could choose to increase the principal amount of his 2006 Debenture by his pro-rata share of the accrued interest amount or accept shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.85 per share for this purpose. For payment of the 2006 Debenture holders pro rata portion of the liquidated damages, each 2006 Debenture holder had the same choice, that is, either to increase his 2006 Debenture by the pro rata liquidated damages amount or accept shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.85 per share for this purpose. If all the 2006 Debenture holders were to choose to accept shares of the Company’s common stock in payment of the April 1 interest payment and the liquidated damages, the Company would be required to issue up to a total of 566,336 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Consent and Waiver allowed the Company to issue these shares without triggering the anti-dilution rights included in the original offering documents. The Company has issued 195,594 shares as partial payment for these liquidated damages valued at $166,259. At December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2009, $3,658 of these damages remained in accrued expenses - registration rights agreement. The Company issued 190,090 shares in November and December 2007 as a partial payment in the amount of $161,580 for the April 1 interest. The Company issued 15,669 shares in January and February 2008 as a partial payment in the amount of $13,319 for the April 1 interest.

The Company did not meet the April 30, 2007 date for its registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC. The registration statement became effective on July 19, 2007. As a result, the Company incurred additional liquidated damages for the period May 1 through July 19, 2007 of $132,726. On September 21, 2007 the Company received from the holders of the 2006 Debentures a second Consent and Waiver. The holders of the 2006 Debentures agreed to accept shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.85 per share instead of cash as payment for the interest due on July 1, 2007 and October 1, 2007 and for damages incurred under the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company issued 135,063 shares in February 2008 as partial payment for these liquidated damages valued at $106,513. The Company issued 931 shares in April 2009 as partial payment for these liquidated damages valued at $791. At December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2009, $26,213 and $25,422 of these damages remained in accrued expenses - registration rights agreement. The Company issued 94,952 shares in February 2008 as a partial payment in the amount of $110,147 for the July 1 and October 1, 2007 interest payments.

On May 1, 2009, the Company received a Consent and Waiver from the holders of the 2008 Convertible Notes waiving all liquidated damages under the Registration Rights Agreement.

On September 30 2009, all of the holders of the 2008 Convertible Notes converted $1,200,000 of principal into 960,000 shares of common stock at $1.25 per share and all of the related note discount and debt issuance costs have been amortized to interest expense.

7.41% Senior Secured Original Issue Discount Notes

During 2007, the Company sold $864,000 in face amount of its 7.41% Senior Secured Original Issue Discount Notes (“7.41% Notes”) and warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $800,000. The 7.41% Notes are due one year from issuance with interest at 7.41% payable at maturity. One warrant to purchase 5 shares of the Company’s common stock was issued for every $10 of purchase price paid. The warrants may be exercised at a price of $1.20 per share for a period of 5 years beginning nine months after issuance of the warrant. Pursuant to the warrant agreements, if the Company issues common stock or common stock equivalents at a price lower than the warrant exercise price (the “Base Share Price”), then the warrant exercise price will be reduced to equal the Base Share Price and the number of warrant shares issuable will be increased so that the aggregate exercise price, after taking into account the decrease, will be equal to the aggregate exercise price prior to the adjustment. During August 2009, the Company received a waiver from the holders of the 7.41% Notes pursuant to which they forever waived, as of and after April 1, 2009, any and all conversion or exercise price adjustments that would otherwise occur, or would have otherwise occurred on or after April 1, 2009, as a result of this provision. The Company has accounted for the debentures according to FASB ASC Topic 470, “Debt. The value of the 7.41% Notes was allocated between the original issue discount (“OID”), the warrants and the debentures which amounted to $64,000, $242,352 and $557,648, respectively. The discount related to the OID and warrants of $306,352 will be amortized over the one year term of the 7.41% Notes. The warrants issued in connection with the 7.41% Notes were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The warrants were valued at $128,038 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: term of 5 years, a risk-free interest rate of 4.52%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 124%. These costs were recorded as deferred financing costs and will be amortized over the term of the 7.41% Notes. As part of the issuance of the 7.41% Notes certain officers of the Company transferred to Oceana Partners and Carlin Capital 400,000 shares of common stock valued at $1.00 per share.

The Company recorded amortization of deferred financing costs of $0 to interest expense related to the 7.41% Notes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The Company recorded amortization of deferred financing costs of $0 and $154,011 to interest expense related to the 7.41% Notes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.
 
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement the Company signed in connection with the offering of the 7.41% Notes, the Company was required to register 125% of the number of shares underlying the related warrants. The Company was required to file a registration statement for this purpose within 180 days following the date that the units were sold, and the Company would be in default of the Registration Rights Agreement if it failed to file the registration statement within 30 days following the expiration of the 180 day period. The Company obtained a Consent and Waiver from the holders of the 7.41% Notes in relation to the liquidated damages under the Registration Rights Agreement.  As more fully described below the Company issued 19,616 shares for payment of $19,616 of liquidated damages.  As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company has recorded $19,143 in accrued expenses – registration rights agreement.

NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE (Continued)

During 2008, certain holders of the 7.41% Notes converted their notes in the face amount of $675,000 plus accrued interest of $50,133 and penalties of $19,616 into 744,749 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 558,557 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share.  As the Company’s negotiated conversion was at a price per share identical to the units described in Note 5, no gain or loss was recorded upon the conversion. The Company issued 67,027 warrants to purchase shares of common stock at $1.00 per share for a term of five years, valued at $81,723 per the Black Scholes pricing model, to the placement agent for this conversion.

During June 2008, the Company repaid $189,000 in principal amount of the 7.41% Notes. At December 31, 2008 all of the 7.41% Notes were converted or paid in full.
 
Note Payable to Shareholder
In March 2008, Gary Guseinov pledged 750,000 shares of his common stock in CyberDefender Corporation to Michael and Casey DeBaecke in exchange for a loan of $160,000 made to the Company. The pledge was non-recourse to Mr. Guseinov in the event the collateral was foreclosed upon due to the Company’s failure to pay the loan. So long as there was no event of default in connection with the loan, Mr. Guseinov could continue to vote the shares at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders. The loan was due to be repaid on the earlier of two months from signing of the loan document or two days following the Company’s receipt of over $500,000 in new equity capital following the date of the promissory note evidencing the loan. Additionally, the Company issued warrants to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company’s stock. The warrants may be exercised at a price of $1.25 per share for a period of 5 years. The discount related to the warrants of $36,092 was amortized to interest expense during 2008. The warrants issued in connection with the note were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The loan plus accrued interest was paid in full on July 30, 2008.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On October 17, 2007, the Company entered into a five year lease for approximately 4,700 rentable square feet of office space. The lease calls for a base monthly rent of $10,670 with annual increases of 3% plus common area expenses. See Note 9 – Subsequent Events for an update on the lease.

On July 24, 2009, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Wiley Publishing, Inc., owner of the For Dummies® trademark, for use of the For Dummies® trademark in connection with the manufacture, development, operation, sale, distribution and promotion of the Company’s products.  The term of the agreement is five years with an option for the Company to renew for an additional five years provided that the Company has paid to Wiley a minimum royalty of $2,000,000 during the initial term of the agreement. The Company paid a $100,000 non-refundable royalty advance that is recorded in prepaid expenses on the accompanying balance sheet.

Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may face various claims brought by third parties and the Company may, from time to time, make claims or take legal actions to assert its rights. Any of these claims could subject the Company to costly litigation and, while the Company generally believes that it has adequate insurance to cover many different types of liabilities, the Company’s insurance carriers may deny coverage or the Company’s policy limits may be inadequate to fully satisfy any damage awards or settlements. If this were to happen, the payment of any such awards could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations, cash flows and financial position. Additionally, any such claims, whether or not successful, could damage the Company’s reputation and business. Management believes the outcome of currently pending claims and lawsuits will not likely have a material effect on the Company’s operations or financial position.
 
Guarantees and Indemnities
During the normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include certain agreements with the Company’s officers, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship. The duration of these indemnities and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, is indefinite. The majority of these indemnities and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. The Company hedges some of the risk associated with these potential obligations by carrying general liability insurance. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations and no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying statement of financial position.

The agreements require us to provide indemnification for the indemnified parties for expenses (including attorneys’ fees, expert fees, other professional fees and court costs, and fees and expenses incurred in connection with any appeals), judgments (including punitive and exemplary damages), penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by us, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnified parties in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding (including actions brought on our behalf, such as shareholder derivative actions), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which he is or was a party, a witness or other participant (or is threatened to be made a party, a witness or other participant) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of ours or of any of our subsidiaries. The indemnification covers any action or inaction on the part of the indemnified party while he was an officer or director or by reason of the fact that he is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.  In the event of any change, after the date of the Indemnification Agreements, in any applicable law, statute or rule which expands the right of a California corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, such changes shall be within the purview of the indemnified parties’ rights and the Company’s obligations under the Indemnification Agreements.

The Indemnification Agreements are effective as of the date they were signed and may apply to acts or omissions of the indemnified parties which occurred prior to such date if the indemnified party was an officer, director, employee or other agent of the Company, or was serving at the Company’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, at the time such act or omission occurred. All obligations under the Indemnification Agreements will continue as long as an indemnified party is subject to any actual or possible matter which is the subject of the Indemnification Agreement, notwithstanding an indemnified party’s termination of service as an officer or director.

NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Union Way International, LLC, an entity controlled by Bing Liu, a former officer and director, provides software development services to the Company. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company paid Union Way International, LLC $0 and $49,500, respectively.

NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 9, 2009, the Company entered into a second amendment of its lease with its current landlord to relocate and to occupy approximately 16,000 square feet in the building to accommodate growth. The lease calls for a base monthly rent of $35,060 with annual increases of 3% plus common area expenses with a term of ten years.  The Company’s rent has been abated beginning July 1, 2009 and continues for fourteen (14) months from the date of occupation of the new space, which is expected to be February 2010.

In November 2009, the Company amended the Media and Marketing Services Agreement with GRM. Pursuant to this amendment, if any of the warrants that have been issued to GRM are outstanding and the Company sells and issues common stock at a price per share less than the exercise price set forth in the applicable warrant, as adjusted thereunder (such issuances collectively, a “Lower Priced Issuance”), without the prior written consent of GRM, then 37.5% of any unexpired and unvested rights of GRM to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Media Services Warrant, shall immediately and automatically vest in full without any notice or action of GRM. In addition, the Company will receive the balance of the Commercial Funds of approximately $180,000 back from GRM.

On November 4, 2009, the Company closed the sale and issuance of $2.2 million in aggregate principal amount of its 8% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”), convertible into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $2.05 per share.  The Company has the right, up to and including the trading day immediately prior to the payment due date, to force the holders to convert all or part of the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest, into shares of the Company’s common stock if the 10-day volume weighted average price (sometimes referred to as “VWAP”) exceeds 250% of the conversion price. All outstanding principal and interest of the Notes is due April 1, 2011.  Out of the total gross proceeds of the offering, the Company paid its placement agent $154,980 in commissions, equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the offering, and issued to its placement agent a three year warrant to purchase 77,490 shares of common stock, equal to 3.5% of the number of shares of common stock into which the Notes initially may be converted, at an exercise price of $2.05 per share. In conjunction with the sale of the Notes, the Company executed a Security Agreement pursuant to which it granted to the Note holders a first lien security interest, subject only to certain Permitted Liens which are defined in the Security Agreement, in certain collateral to secure payment of the Notes.
 
Subsequent to September 30, 2009, the Company received $181,229 in proceeds from the exercise of 210,208 stock options with exercise prices ranging from $0.85 to $1.10. The Company also received proceeds of $62,500 from the exercise of a common stock purchase warrant for 50,000 shares of common stock.

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

OVERVIEW

We are a provider of secure content management software based in Los Angeles, California. We develop, market and license security software and related services. Our mission is to bring to market advanced solutions to combat and prevent identity theft, spyware, viruses, and related computer threats.

We have developed a Collaborative Internet Security Network, which we refer to as the “CISN” or the “earlyNETWORK”, which is based on certain technology principles commonly found in a peer-to-peer network infrastructure.  A peer-to-peer network does not have the notion of clients or servers, but only equal peer nodes that simultaneously function as both “clients” and “servers” to the other nodes on the network.  This means that when a threat is detected from a computer that is part of the earlyNETWORK, the threat is relayed to our Early Alert Center.  The Early Alert Center tests, grades and ranks the threat, automatically generates definition and signature files based on the threat, and relays this information to the Alert Server, in some cases after a human verification step.  The Alert Server will relay the information it receives from the Early Alert Center to other machines in the earlyNETWORK, and each machine that receives the information will, in turn, relay it to other machines that are part of the earlyNETWORK.  This protocol allows us to rapidly distribute alerts and updates regarding potentially damaging viruses, e-mails and other threats to members of the earlyNETWORK, without regard for the cost of the bandwidth involved.  Because cost is not a factor, updates can be continuous, making our approach significantly faster than the client/server protocols used by traditional Internet security companies that provide manual broadcast-updated threat management systems.  Computer users join the earlyNETWORK simply by downloading and installing our software.

Historically, our revenues were derived from the sales of, and ongoing subscriptions for, a single product, CyberDefender Anti-Spyware 2006. The product was sold at a price of $39.99, which included the initial download and one year of updates.  The license to use the software was renewed annually, also at $39.99, with incentives for early renewals.  On November 20, 2006 we stopped licensing this product to new subscribers (although we continue to support and upgrade it for existing users).  We now offer a full line of internet security products, which includes CyberDefender Early Detection Center V2.0 and CyberDefender Free V2.0, as well as upgrades to these products.  CyberDefender Early Detection Center V2.0 and CyberDefender Free V2.0 are complete Internet security suites that protect home computer users against spam, spyware, viruses and scams.  The software programs are identical but are distributed in one of two ways.  If the subscriber chooses the free version (CyberDefender Free V2.0), he will receive the software with advertising banners in it.  If the subscriber does not wish to receive the advertising, he may pay to purchase a license for CyberDefender Early Detection Center V2.0.  The annual licensing fee can be as low as $12.99 or as high as $49.99, depending on the marketing and distribution channels that we use.

Additionally on September 27, 2007, we announced the launch of CyberDefenderULTIMATE and CyberDefenderCOMPLETE.  These are enhanced versions of our security software.  For an annual fee, CyberDefenderULTIMATE provides year round support for any software or hardware connected to a subscriber’s computer while CyberDefenderCOMPLETE provides year-round unlimited anti-malware support for a subscriber’s computer with a one time live technical support call.  These new security suites also include 2 gigabytes of online backup.  These products are sold for $99.99 to $299.99 per year.  We also offer a free Internet security toolbar called MyIdentityDefender (“MyID”).  MyID is free to use and generates revenue through search advertising. In August 2008, we announced the launch of our Identity Protection Services.  These services monitor a customer’s name, social security number, credit cards and address for fraud.  The customer can also include credit monitoring for an additional fee. The monthly subscription rate ranges from $14.95 to $19.95, depending on the marketing or distribution channels used by the Company. On November 20, 2008, the Company announced the launch of CyberDefender Registry Cleaner.  The CyberDefender Registry Cleaner eliminates clutter and junk that builds up within a computer's registry due to the installation and removal of programs, deletion and creation of files and cached records from Web surfing.  The annual subscription rate ranges from $19.99 to $39.98, depending on the marketing or distribution channels we use. 

In the past, we acquired new users primarily with an online direct purchase offer.  The offer, to scan a computer for spyware and then pay for removal of the spyware found, was broadcast in e-mails, banners and search ads.  We are now partnering with other businesses, such as those providing search engine marketing services, retail distribution services and direct response advertising services, for the purpose of generating new users of our software.  These new partnerships will offer additional avenues for distribution of our products and are mainly revenue sharing partnerships, whereby our partner retains a portion of the revenue for every item sold.  This allows us to incrementally increase revenue while not incurring additional marketing and advertising expenses.

The following table summarizes our revenue, typically deferred over 12 to 36 months as required by GAAP, for the sale of our products during each quarter since January 1, 2008. (See the charts in Trends, Event and Uncertainties for actual monthly sales receipt details.)  Revenues include renewals of our CyberDefender Anti-Spyware 2006 product as well as sales and renewals of our CyberDefender Early Detection Center V2.0, CyberDefenderULTIMATE, CyberDefenderCOMPLETE and CyberDefender Registry Cleaner products, sales of our backup CDs with our products, Identity Protection Services and advertising revenue derived from CyberDefender FREE V2.0 and the MyID toolbar.

CyberDefender Early Detection Center V2.0 is typically offered to consumers on a trial basis. The consumer downloads a limited version of the software from the Internet.  Using the trial version, the consumer scans his computer for threats and then has the option to upgrade to a fully featured version of the software for a fee.  Typically, the trial version is limited to a simple security scan. Once upgraded, users are able to remove the threats from their PCs.

CyberDefenderFREE V2.0 is offered to consumers at no cost.  CyberDefenderFREE V2.0 generates revenue through banner advertisements and upgrades.    There is no trial period for using the CyberDefender FREE V2.0 software.  Once a subscriber downloads the software, it is his to keep and we receive payment from the advertisers.

By providing the software with and without advertising, we generate revenues from either the advertiser or the subscriber.  This business model allows any computer user to obtain protection against Internet threats, regardless of his ability to pay.  We obtain the ads from ad networks, which are plentiful.  Ad networks provide advertising for a website and share advertiser revenue each time the website visitors click on the ads.  During the month that the ads are displayed on a subscriber’s computer, revenues will be earned from the ad networks each time an ad is shown (per impression) or when an ad is clicked (per click) or for each action taken by the subscriber after he clicks on the ad and visits the advertiser’s website (per action).

While we were developing CyberDefender Early Detection Center/CyberDefender FREE 2.0, we slowed down our efforts in marketing our CyberDefender Anti-Spyware 2006 software so that we could devote more of our financial resources to the development of our new product.  The expense of turning our business from a marketer of a single software product into a developer of a suite of Internet security products exceeded our revenues.  During this period, our new user marketing was restricted to experimental activities.  Therefore, as and when we needed cash, we sold our securities.  As of September 30, 2009, we have received $5,775,000 from the sale of our convertible debt securities, $800,000 from the sale of our 7.41% Original Issue Discount Notes, $160,000 from the issuance of a note payable to a shareholder, $5,416,880 from the sale of our common stock and units consisting of our common stock and warrants and $2,081,016 from the exercise of warrants in connection with the Company’s warrant tender offer. Subsequent to September 30, 2009 we received $2,214,000 from the sale of our convertible debt securities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses for each period.  The following represents a summary of our critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue recognition.  We recognize revenue from the sale of software licenses under the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 985, “Software.”

Specifically, we recognize revenues from our CyberDefender Anti-Spyware 2006, CyberDefender Early Detection Center, CyberDefenderULTIMATE, CyberDefenderCOMPLETE and CyberDefender Registry Cleaner products when all of the following conditions for revenue recognition are met:

•           persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,

•           the product or service has been delivered,

•           the fee is fixed or determinable, and

•           collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

We currently sell five products, CyberDefender Early Detection Center (“EDC”), CyberDefenderCOMPLETE, CyberDefenderULTIMATE, CyberDefender Registry Cleaner and CyberDefender Identity Protection Service, over the Internet.  We also offer a backup CD-ROM of the EDC software for an additional fee.  CyberDefenderCOMPLETE offers customers one-time technical support and a license for EDC, while CyberDefenderULTIMATE offers customers unlimited technical support for a specified period and a license for EDC.  Customers order the product and simultaneously provide their credit card information to us.  Upon receipt of authorization from the credit card issuer, we provide technical support if the customer purchased CyberDefenderULTIMATE or CyberDefenderCOMPLETE and a license allowing the customer to download EDC over the Internet.  As part of the sales price, we provide renewable product support and content updates, which are separate components of product licenses and sales.  Term licenses allow customers to use our products and receive product support coverage and content updates for a specified period, generally twelve months.  We invoice for product support, content updates and term licenses at the beginning of the term.  These revenues contain multiple element arrangements where “vendor specific objective evidence” (“VSOE”) may not exist for one or more of the elements.  EDC and CyberDefenderULTIMATE are in substance a subscription and the entire fee is deferred and is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement.  Revenue is recognized immediately for the sale of the backup CD-ROM, the license of CyberDefender Registry Cleaner and for the portion of the sale of CyberDefenderCOMPLETE that relates to the one-time technical support as we believe that VSOE of fair value exists for all elements delivered. We stopped selling CyberDefenderCOMPLETE in July 2009 but began sales of the product again in September 2009.

We use a third party service provider for the technical support services provided as part of our CyberDefenderCOMPLETE and CyberDefenderULTIMATE products.  The costs associated with this service are deferred and expensed over the same period as the related revenue. We also use third parties to sell our software and therefore we evaluate the criteria of FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of revenue and related costs or the net amount earned as commissions.  We are the primary obligor, are subject to inventory risk, have latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers, establish product specifications, and have the risk of loss as it relates to cargo losses.  Accordingly, our revenue is recorded on a gross basis.

Product returns are generally received within 30 days of the original sale and are charged against the associated sale upon receipt of the return.  A chargeback occurs when a customer contacts the credit card issuer directly to request a refund instead of contacting the Company.  The Company’s third party processor is usually notified within 30 days of any chargebacks by the credit card issuer.  The third party processor reduces the amounts due to us as a result of any chargebacks during the preceding 30 day period.  As a result, a majority of chargebacks occur within 30 days of the rebilling event and are recorded prior to closing the previous month’s accounting records.  As stated in our revenue recognition policy, revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement.

CyberDefender FREE 2.0, which is free to the subscriber and the MyIdentityDefender toolbar earn revenue from advertising networks and search engine providers that pay us for displaying the advertiser’s advertisements inside the software and from search results generated by our users.  Advertising revenue is recognized when earned.

Customers are permitted to return our software products (CyberDefender Early Detection Center and CyberDefender Registry Cleaner) within 30 days from the date of purchase.  As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had $0 accrued for product returns or chargebacks as such returns and chargebacks are identified within the first 30 days of sale and are charged against our gross sales in the month that they occur.  Our net revenue, including returns and chargebacks for each period, are deferred and recognized ratably over a 12 month period according to our revenue recognition policy.
 
Deferred Charges. The Company uses a third party to provide technical support  services associated with the CyberDefender ULTIMATE product. The costs associated with this service are deferred and amortized against the recognition of the related sales revenue.

Software Development Costs.  We account for software development costs in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 985, “Software.” Such costs are expensed prior to achievement of technological feasibility and thereafter are capitalized.  We have had very limited software development costs incurred between the time the software and its related enhancements have reached technological feasibility and its general release to customers.  As a result, all software development costs have been charged to product development.

Stock Based Compensation and Fair Value of our Shares. The Company applies FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which requires companies to measure and recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value.

Derivative Liabilities Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging, which applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock. As a result, 7,134,036 of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock purchase warrants previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption were no longer afforded equity treatment. In addition, amounts related to the embedded conversion feature of convertible notes issued previous to January 1, 2009 and treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption were also no longer afforded equity treatment. As such, effective January 1, 2009, the Company reclassified the fair value of these common stock purchase warrants and the fair value of the embedded conversion features, which both have exercise price reset features, from equity to liability status as if these warrants and embedded conversion features were treated as a derivative liability since the earliest date of issue in September 2006. On January 1, 2009, the Company reclassified from additional paid-in capital, as a cumulative effect adjustment, $7,065,940, $723,930 to opening retained earnings and $6,342,010 to a long-term derivative liability to recognize the fair value of such warrants and embedded conversion features on such date.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued 0 and 1,192,000 common stock purchase warrants that contained features that required the Company to record their fair value as a derivative liability.  In addition, the value related to the embedded conversion feature of convertible notes issued during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 were also recorded as a derivative liability. The fair value of these common stock purchase warrants and the embedded conversion feature on their respective value date for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $0 and $906,805.  We recognized a gain of $0 and $109,058 from the change in fair value of the outstanding warrants and embedded conversion feature for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

During August 2009, the Company obtained waivers from the warrant and note holders that are effective as of April 1, 2009, permanently waiving, as of and after April 1, 2009, any and all conversion or exercise price adjustments that would otherwise occur, or would have otherwise occurred on or after April 1, 2009, as a result of the price reset provisions. As a result of obtaining these waivers the warrants and notes are now afforded equity treatment, resulting in the elimination of the derivative liabilities of $7,139,757 and a corresponding increase in additional paid-in-capital.

During the normal course of business, we have agreed to certain indemnifications.  In the future, we may be required to make payments in relation to these commitments.  These indemnities include agreements with our officers and directors which may require us to indemnify these individuals for liabilities arising by reason of the fact that they were or are officers or directors.  The duration of these indemnities varies and, in certain cases, is indefinite.  There is no limit on the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make pursuant to these indemnities.  We hedge some of the risk associated with these potential obligations by carrying general liability insurance.  Historically, we have not been obligated to make any payments for these obligations and no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities in our financial statements.

Trends, Events and Uncertainties

As described above in the discussion of revenue recognition, we receive payment upon the sale of our products and defer the revenue over the life of the license agreement, which is generally one year.  We have disclosed in the table below the total number of licenses sold and gross dollar sales related to those licenses before deferral.

The table above indicates an overall upward trend in the number of licenses sold.  The decrease in the amount of the average sale per license relates to the increase in the number of licenses sold per transaction. We have increased our efforts to sell multiple licenses to our customers by offering a discount for purchasing more than one license, therefore, during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 the number of licenses sold per transaction increased to approximately two licenses. The general upward trend is a result of our focus on promoting our new products that were released in late 2007 and an increase in the amount of money spent on advertising and the new advertising channels, as discussed below.  Any fluctuation from quarter to quarter is the result of our efforts to optimize profits while continuing to increase revenues. We cannot guarantee that this upward trend will continue, even with increased spending on advertising, or that the margins will remain beneficial to us.  The table above does not include advertising revenue or sales of our backup CD.

We have disclosed in the table below total renewable sales by month and the corresponding year in which those sales will be due for renewal.  Management currently believes, based on historical trends, that approximately 50% of these initial sales will be renewed at the end of the initial license term.  The Company currently licenses its products and services over one, two and three years.

This increase in net revenue was due primarily to the increase in new product sales and an increase in renewals that have resulted from our expanded product offerings as well as an increase in advertising costs associated with customer acquisition.

This increase is due primarily to the increase in sales of our technical support service products which are serviced by a third party, an increase in sales of the CD-ROMs that backup our EDC software and sales of third party products that require a per sale royalty.

Advertising costs are comprised primarily of media and channel fees, including online and offline advertising and related functional resources. Media and channel fees fluctuate by channel and are higher for the direct online consumer market than for the OEM, reseller and SMB markets.  This increase was primarily due to the launch of our new products, expanding our advertising channels to include traditional media, such as radio and television, and our decision to use advertising as a customer acquisition strategy. Advertising purchased from four vendors accounted for 35% and 64% of the Company’s total advertising expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. Advertising purchased from four vendors accounted for 95% and 94% of the Company’s total advertising expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Product development expenses are primarily comprised of research and development costs associated with the continued development of our products. This increase is primarily due to the increase in the number of products and the ongoing support and improvement of these products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses are primarily comprised of executive management salaries, customer service salaries and wages, third party credit card processing fees, legal and professional fees, rent and salaries of our support staff.

The increase was primarily attributable to two factors.  The first is an increase in third party credit card processing fees due to the increase in sales. The second is an increase in salaries and wages due to the increase in staffing required as a result of the increase in sales.  Additionally, there was an overall increase in all areas due to the increased sales activities in the current period.  S,G & A has decreased as a percentage of net sales to 39% from 92% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008. We expect to continue to incur professional fees for audit, legal and investor relations services and insurance costs as a result of being a public company. We believe that these costs will remain consistent with costs incurred during the current period.

Loss from operations decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2009 due primarily to the Company spending more effectively on advertising. Advertising decreased from 223% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to 80% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Loss from operations increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 due to the significant increases in advertising, selling, general and administrative costs and the value of warrants granted for investor relations and consulting services, as more fully described above.

As more fully described in the notes to the condensed financial statements, on January 1, 2009 we adopted the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” that appy to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative.  As such, we were required to reclassify certain amounts from the equity section of the balance sheet to the liabilities section.  In addition, the value of these instruments must be reassessed by us as of each balance sheet date.  Subsequent to June 30, 2009, the Company obtained waivers from the warrant and note holders that forever waive, as of and after April 1, 2009, any and all conversion or exercise price adjustments that would otherwise occur, or would have otherwise occurred on or after April 1, 2009, as a result of certain anti-dilution provisions included in the warrants and notes. As a result of obtaining the waivers, the warrants and notes are now afforded equity treatment. The change in fair value of these instruments for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 resulted in a gain of $109,058.

The increased interest expense was mainly due to the issuance of additional warrants as part of the warrant tender offer, the amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs and interest on the 10% Convertible Promissory Notes and the vesting of the GRM warrants offset by the decrease in the interest and amortization expense related to the 10% Secured Debentures and the 7.41% Original Issue Discount Notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In November 2006 we changed our operating strategy by deciding to introduce a suite of security products instead of a single product.  We also changed the way in which our core product was offered to consumers.  Rather than simply licensing the product and collecting a license fee, we offered consumers a choice.  They could download a free version of the product that included advertising by third parties or they could purchase a license for the product and the product would be free of advertising.  Our advertising revenues are earned each time an ad is shown (per impression) or when an ad is clicked (per click) or for each action taken by the consumer after he clicks on the ad and visits the advertiser’s website (per action).  This change in our business resulted in a significant decrease in our revenues from 2006 to 2007 since we stopped selling our CyberDefender AntiSpyware 2006 product while we developed and rolled-out our new products.  We have launched five new products and services and our revenues have been increasing on a quarterly basis since January 2008, however, our expenses still exceed our revenues.

To help with our cash flow, we occasionally sell our debt or equity securities.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company received proceeds of $3,206,880, net of Commercial Funds from the sale of its common stock, $2,008,180, net of placement fees of $72,836, from the exercise of warrants in connection with a warrant tender offer and $621,700, net of placement fees of $33,300, from the sale of our 10% Convertible Promissory Notes. At September 30, 2009, we had no outstanding debt securities.

At September 30, 2009, we had cash totaling $1.2 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we generated positive cash flows of approximately $393,000.  Cash activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 included:

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily the result of our net loss of $13.2 million. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was adjusted for non-cash items such as amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs, depreciation and amortization, shares issued for penalties, interest and services, compensation expense from the issuance of stock options, warrants issued in connection with a warrant tender offer and the change in the value of derivative liabilities. Other changes in working capital accounts include an increase in restricted cash, decreases in accounts receivables and prepaid expenses, and increases in accounts payable, deferred charges and deferred revenue as a result of an increase in the sales of our new products. Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily the result of our net loss of $7.4 million.

Historically, our primary source of operating cash flow is the collection of license fee revenues from our customers and the timing of payments to our vendors and service providers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we did not make any significant changes to our payment terms for our customers, which are generally credit card based.

Our operating cash flows, including changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are impacted by the timing of payments to our vendors for accounts payable.  We typically pay our vendors and service providers in accordance with invoice terms and conditions.  The timing of cash payments in future periods will be impacted by the nature of accounts payable arrangements.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, we did not make any significant changes to the timing of payments to our vendors, although our financing activities caused an increase in this category.

Our working capital deficit at September 30, 2009, defined as current assets minus current liabilities, was $7.0 million as compared to a working capital deficit of $7.8 million at December 31, 2008.  The increase in working capital of approximately $0.8 million from December 31, 2008 to September 30, 2009 was attributable to an increase in current assets of approximately $2.9 million which was mainly due to an increase in cash from our financing activities and an increase in the current portion of deferred charges offset by an increase in current liabilities of $2.1 million primarily associated with an increase in the current portion of deferred revenue offset by decreases in the current portion of convertible notes payable.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $7,000, which was used for property and equipment purchases. We anticipate that we will continue to purchase property and equipment necessary in the normal course of our business. The amount and timing of these purchases and the related cash outflows in future periods is difficult to predict and is dependent on a number of factors, including but not limited to our hiring of employees and the rate of change in computer hardware and software used in our business. No cash was used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was provided to us primarily from the proceeds that we received from the sale of our common stock of approximately $3.2 million, net of Commercial Funds, proceeds from the exercise of warrants to purchase our common stock, net of placement fees, of approximately $2.0 million and proceeds of approximately $0.6 million from the issuance of convertible notes payable, net of placement fees. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily from the issuance of a note payable in the amount of $0.2 million and the sale of stock in the amount of $1.0 million, offset by principal payments on notes payable of $0.3 million.

To date we have helped finance our operating activities by raising $8,949,000 from debt financing, $4,516,880 from equity financing and $2,081,016 from the exercise of warrants in connection with our warrant tender offer. These funds have been used to develop software, improve and expand our infrastructure and to build out our management team. We are confident that the recent increase in sales volume, as evidenced by sales receipts year to date of more than $17 million, will provide us with a significant renewable revenue stream related to the ongoing license renewals of thousands of customers that we are acquiring every month to fund our ongoing operations. In the event that this revenue stream is not sufficient to fund ongoing operations, we are confident that we would be able to raise funds through the sale of our debt or equity securities upon terms that would be acceptable to us. We also anticipate receiving funds from the cash exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options based on the current price of our common stock.

Other than as discussed above, we know of no trends, events or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to impact our future liquidity.

ITEM 4T.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) require public companies to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2009.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.

In light of the material weaknesses described below, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 5) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.  Management has identified the following two material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of September 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

1.           We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures.  Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

2.           We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control.  Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible.  However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals.  Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

We have attempted to remediate the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures identified above by hiring a full-time CFO, with SEC reporting experience, in January 2009 and by working with our independent registered public accounting firm and refining our internal procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15 (f) under the Exchange Act) during the third quarter of 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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

On August 1, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant for business development services related to the signing of the Wiley contract as described in Note 7 in the accompanying financial statements.  The consultant was granted a warrant to purchase 55,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of three years at an exercise price of $2.18.  The warrant vests in increments, 15,000 shares at the signing of the Wiley contract, 15,000 shares at the Wiley launch and 25,000 shares at the earlier of the first anniversary date of the agreement or when sales of the Wiley branded products exceed 100,000 units. The Company relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 to issue the warrant inasmuch as the warrant was issued to an accredited investor without any form of general solicitation or general advertising.

On May 1, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant to provide investor relations services.  The agreement was amended in August 2009 to include the issuance of a warrant to purchase 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of three years at an exercise price of $2.25 for each month the contract remained in effect.  Warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock have been issued as of September 30, 2009. The Company relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 in issuing the warrant inasmuch as the warrant was issued to an accredited investor without any form of general solicitation or general advertising.

On July 1 2009, one investor exercised warrants to purchase 62,500 shares of common stock exercisable at $1.00 per share.  The warrant was exercised pursuant to the cashless provision contained in the warrant. The Company issued 43,446 shares to the investor. We relied on section 3(9) of the Securities Act of 1933 to issue the securities inasmuch as we exchanged the securities with our existing security holders exclusively and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange.

On July 21, 2009, the Company closed the sale and issuance of 200,000 shares of common stock to twenty-eight accredited investors for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000, the proceeds of which the Company will use for general working capital. There were no issuance costs related to this sale. We relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 to issue the shares inasmuch as the securities were offered and sold without any form of general solicitation or general advertising and each offeree made representations that each was an accredited investor.

On July 30, 2009, one investor exercised warrants to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $1.25 per share. We relied on section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 to issue the common stock inasmuch as the securities were issued to an accredited investor without any form of general solicitation or general advertising.

In May 2009, the Company began an offering to the holders of its warrants issued with “cashless exercise” provisions and/or “down-round” provisions (collectively the “Released Provisions”).  Pursuant to the offering, the warrant holders were given the opportunity to increase by 10% the number of shares of common stock covered by their warrants in exchange for extinguishing the Released Provisions from their warrants.  In order for the warrant holders to take advantage of the offer, they were required to exercise a portion of their warrant(s) and purchase for cash no less than 30% of the shares of common stock covered by their warrant(s), after giving effect to the increase.  On June 29, 2009, the Company filed a Schedule TO with the SEC covering this offering.  Per the Schedule TO, the offering expired on July 28, 2009.  The Schedule TO was subsequently amended and the offering was extended until August 17, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, the Company received $2,008,180 in proceeds, net of offering costs of $72,835, and issued 1,838,952 shares of common stock to warrant holders that have participated in this offer.  Additionally, the Company has issued warrants to purchase 269,681 shares of the Company’s common stock for the 10% increase in warrants offered to warrant holders. We relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 to issue the shares inasmuch as the securities were offered and sold without any form of general solicitation or general advertising and the offerees were accredited investors.

From July through September 2009, certain holders of the Company’s 2006 Debentures converted $396,671 of principal into 396,671 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. In addition, certain holders of the Company’s 10% convertible debentures converted $137,588 of principal into 161,873 shares of common stock at $0.85 per share. We relied on section 3(9) of the Securities Act of 1933 to issue the securities inasmuch as we exchanged the securities with our existing security holders exclusively and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange.

On September 30 2009, all of the holders of the Company’s 2009 Convertible Notes converted $300,000 of principal into 171,429 shares of common stock at $1.75 per share. We relied on section 3(9) of the Securities Act of 1933 to issue the securities inasmuch as we exchanged the securities with our existing security holders exclusively and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange.

On September 30 2009, all of the holders of the Company’s 2008 Convertible Notes converted $1,200,000 of principal into 960,000 shares of common stock at $1.25 per share. We relied on section 3(9) of the Securities Act of 1933 to issue the securities inasmuch as we exchanged the securities with our existing security holders exclusively and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange.

ITEM 3.      DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

According to the terms of our Debentures, we are to make interest payments quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 until September 2009, when the principal amount and all accrued but unpaid interest will be due. We failed to make all of the interest payments that were due. On November 9, 2009, we owed $69,982 in interest due through September 12, 2009 under these obligations.
