Item 1. Description of Business

Overview

Comtex News Network, Inc. (“Comtex” or the “Company”), is a leading provider of economically useful electronic real-time news, content and SmarTrend® market products. With a specialization in the financial news and content marketplace, Comtex receives, enhances, combines, filters and distributes news and content received from more than 10,000 national and international news bureaus, agencies and publications. The resulting news and content products, with embedded stock tickers, key words, standardized metadata, uniform formatting, and custom filters, are all designed to meet the exacting standards required by investment professionals. Comtex is a wholesaler of real-time news and related content for major financial and business information distributors. Comtex has also developed a line of proprietary stock trend alert products, marketed under the name “SmarTrend,” which are sold directly to consumers as well as through financial distributors. Comtex has offices in Alexandria, Virginia; Boston, Massachusetts; and New York, New York.

Market Positioning

In its dominant customer market, the financial industry, Comtex sells “actionable” news and content. “Actionable” news equates to information, the receipt of which causes one to take some action, e.g., buying or selling a stock. In this market, our clients’ end-users (the ultimate consumers of Comtex information) employ our news and content to stay abreast of the market. The actionable part of the equation also comes into play whenever Comtex information is used either to make money or save money. Such concepts apply equally as well to situations other than buying or selling securities, e.g., information to assist in job performance. Thus, the basic principle of “economically useful information” underpins Comtex’s business strategy.

Comtex was one of the market originators of electronic real-time news. Prior to the predominance of the Internet, our client focus was on financial information services, corporate enterprise solution vendors, and online consumer services. With the growth of the Internet, we expanded our client base to include consumer and individual investor websites. A vital element of our growth was the distinctive value we added to real-time, public company news by adding stock ticker symbols and filtering the news into specific categories.

The demand for news and content distribution paralleled the tremendous growth of the Internet during the late 1990’s. Similarly, the subsequent collapse of Internet-related businesses resulted in business consolidations and failures, the decline of individual investor websites, and the erosion of royalties from corporate solution providers. Given these market conditions, it became increasingly important for Comtex to clearly define our role and value to our customers and publisher-partners. We have a strong reputation of adding value to the publishers’ products that we license to distributors and providing our publisher-partners with incremental revenue and exposure to new markets.

Comtex has four categories of customers:

· Co-Brands – Distributors who host financial and business oriented websites on behalf of large financial institutions and major corporations. Distributors electronically query Comtex computers every few seconds to retrieve and use Comtex news content to service their co-brand partners.

· Databases - These clients have enormous repositories of information (news, market research, etc); their end-users log on to these systems, conduct complex searches, and are charged for usage. The database accounts also electronically query Comtex computers every few seconds to download Comtex data into their databases.

· Per Seat/Enterprise Applications – These clients market to professional investors – either individuals (high net worth traders) or institutions (both buy side and sell side). Real-time news and information are paramount, so these clients typically use dedicated technology methods to make Comtex data available to their customers on a real time basis.

· Consumers – These clients subscribe to SmarTrend Alerts or SmarTrend Morning Call via the Internet and are active investors.

Product Lines

The four main product lines produced and distributed by Comtex are:

(1)

CustomWires® – subject-specific newswires compiled from national and international news bureaus, agencies and publications. Presented in a variety of subject combinations, including energy, finance, international and public company information, CustomWires® enable distributors to receive news relevant to their target markets;

(2)	Comtex TopNews – editorially selected top news stories of the day. A broad range of news story options, including financial markets, vertical markets, general markets and world news;

(3)	Publisher Full Feeds – delivery from a specific publisher that provides distributors with the complete content offering from that publisher; and

(4)	SmarTrend Products – which include a daily stock market letter (Morning Call), selected stock news (SmarTrend Spotlights), and our banner product, SmarTrend Alerts (via subscription at www.mysmartrend.com).

These publishers receive royalties in most cases based upon their content’s contribution to our products and the corresponding revenues generated from our customers. In some cases, we are required to pay monthly minimum guarantees for the rights to license the content.

Technology

Comtex uses a proprietary real-time content processing system designed to process and enhance real-time data. As electronic submissions of news and information are received from our suppliers, our system converts each story into a common data format, applies standardized document coding or metadata, assigns relevant keywords from our proprietary taxonomy, and assigns ticker symbols to each public company mentioned in a story. These metadata enhance the functionality of filters that sort our stories into CustomWires and allow our distributors to accurately and efficiently redirect content to their products and ultimately to their end-users.

Technology infrastructure investments in fiscal 2008 included additional hardware and software development, both of which have continued to improve the reliability of our systems.

As available technology is developed, we continue to evaluate and adopt new approaches to improve reliability, decrease costs and deliver increasingly complex products using simpler methodologies.

Product Development

In 2005, Comtex began development of a new product line based on a flagship product, Comtex SmarTrend® Alert, an automated pattern recognition system that generates up to 100 intraday uptrend or downtrend alerts each day, providing investors with a unique tool for evaluating equities and giving Comtex distributors an exclusive new product offering. The alerts are delivered with related news headlines when available, on more than 5,500 North American stocks included in the Comtex SmarTrend database.

SmarTrend dynamically analyzes up to three years of historical stock price data coupled with real-time current-day trading information, and sends resulting alerts indicating that a price trend change has been identified. Hundreds of factors are simultaneously analyzed to result in this unique price trend change notification system. SmarTrend is based upon proprietary automated time-price series pattern recognition technology developed over the past 25 years.

During fiscal 2006, the Company introduced a consumer version of SmarTrend, a new web application through which all investors now have direct access to Comtex SmarTrend Alerts and related news stories via monthly subscription. During fiscal 2008, we introduced an updated version of the product and began to actively market the product through Internet advertising and search engine optimization. The Company sells SmarTrend primarily via the Company’s website, www.mysmartrend.com.

Product development activities in addition to SmarTrend include quality assurance, content product enhancements and the development of proprietary new products. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 our product development costs were approximately $307,000 and $285,000, respectively. Expenses related to the design and development of our content processing systems are not included in these costs.

Competition

Our competition includes integrators and distributors of news and related content, national and international electronic news and information services, and traditional content providers seeking direct relationships with distributors. We differentiate ourselves from our competition by the specific content we offer; the integrated products we create; technology delivery solutions; and other benefits provided by our consolidated news and information systems.

Employees

At June 30, 2008, we had 29 full-time employees. The employees are not members of a union and we believe employee relations are generally good.

Available Information

We file annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy any document we file at the SEC’s public reference room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the public reference rooms. Our SEC filings are also available to the public from the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov, or via the Investor Relations page maintained at the Comtex website, http://www.comtex.com.

RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. The following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating Comtex News Network, Inc. and our business. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Our financial condition, operating results and the trading price of our common stock could be materially adversely affected due to any of these risks, in which case you could lose all or part of your investment. In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information in this and our other public filings, including our financial statements and notes thereto.

We Are Dependent On Cash Reserves.

Although we generated positive cash flows from operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, our revenue base has been declining. Our ability to meet our liquidity needs on a long-term basis depends on our ability to generate sufficient revenues and cash to cover our current obligations. No assurance may be given that we will be able to maintain the revenue base or the size of profitable operations that may be necessary to achieve our long-term liquidity needs.

We Depend On The Continued Growth In The Use Of The Internet For News and Financial Information.

Our business depends on businesses and individual consumers continuing to increase their use of the Internet for obtaining news and financial information. Internet usage may be inhibited for a number of reasons, including inadequate network infrastructure; security concerns; inconsistent quality of service; and availability of cost-effective, high-speed service. Because the market for our products is consolidating and is in flux, it is difficult to predict with any certainty the growth rate, if any, and the ultimate size of our markets. If the market fails to continue to develop, develops more slowly than expected or becomes saturated with competitors; if our services do not maintain significant market acceptance; if our customers’ business models are not successful; or if pricing becomes subject to considerable competitive pressures; our business operations and financial condition would be materially, adversely affected.

We Face Intense Competition That Could Impede Our Ability To Grow and Maintain Profitability.

The business information services industry is intensely competitive and is characterized by rapid technological change and entry into the field by large and well-capitalized companies. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources. Our competitors include Internet-focused aggregators and distributors of content, individual national and international electronic news and information services, and traditional content providers seeking new markets for their content or seeking direct relationships with distributors.

We expect competition to continue to increase as the market for content aggregation increases, as current competitors improve their offerings, as new competitors attempt to enter the market, and as traditional content providers seek new markets for their content and direct relationships with distributors. While we believe our continued investment in content, new products and technology, as well as the expansion of our distributor partnerships will continue to favorably position us in the market, it is possible that our competitors may acquire significant market share and we may not be able to retain our customers.

Furthermore, increased competition on the basis of price, delivery systems or otherwise, may require us to implement price reductions or increase our spending on marketing or software development, which could have a material, adverse effect on our business and operating results.

If We Are Unable To Maintain Our Reputation and Expand Our Name Recognition, We May Have Difficulty Attracting New Business and Retaining Current Customers and Employees.

We believe that establishing and maintaining a good reputation and name recognition are critical for attracting and retaining customers and employees. If our reputation is damaged or if potential customers are not familiar with us, we may be unable to attract new, or retain existing customers and employees. Promotion and enhancement of our name will depend largely on our success in continuing to provide effective services. If customers do not perceive our services to be effective or of high quality, our brand name and reputation will suffer.

The Sale of Information Regarding Stock Market Trading Poses Certain Risks.

All software may contain errors and all financial market and similar databases and services, including the data used by the Company, contain inaccuracies and mistakes and are incomplete in certain respects. In our agreements, customers are strongly advised to verify pricing and all other relevant information prior to making any trade or investment.

Furthermore, investments and trading involve risks, including possible loss of principal and other losses. SmarTrend data products are designed, provided and/or presented chiefly to provide a training tool for the understanding of the financial markets. They are licensed to customers with the understanding that neither the Company nor its data suppliers are engaged in rendering any investment, trading or other professional advice. If investment, trading or other professional advice is required, the services of a competent, licensed professional are recommended to customers. No employee, agent or representative of the Company is authorized to provide any such advice of any nature whatever.

Some Customers Pose Credit Risks.

With some customers, we have experienced difficulties collecting accounts receivable. In addition, we lost some customers directly due to the failure of their business models to sustain operations. We may continue to encounter these difficulties in the future. If any significant part of our customer base continues to experience economic difficulties or is unable to pay our fees, for any reason, our business would be materially, adversely affected.

Unauthorized Break-Ins To Our Systems Could Harm Our Business.

Although we have implemented strict security policies and perimeter defenses, our computer and telecommunications systems are vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions, which could lead to interruptions in, delays in or loss of data. In addition, unauthorized persons may improperly access our data. Any intrusions may harm us and may be very expensive to remedy, could damage our reputation, and discourage new and existing customers from using our service.

If Equipment Failures Interrupt The Distribution Of Content To Our Customers, We Could Lose Customers and Our Reputation May Be Adversely Affected.

We rely on third-party telecommunications networks for the distribution of our content. Any failure of these networks could interrupt or delay our service, which could lead to customers canceling contracts, could damage our reputation, and impact our ability to attract additional customers.

Substantially all of our computer and communications hardware resides in three locations: Alexandria and Vienna, Virginia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Although hardware configurations/locations and software systems are designed to be fault tolerant and to facilitate any disaster recovery, any catastrophic disaster, power outage or system failure that causes interruptions in our ability to provide continuing service to our customers could reduce our revenues due to customer dissatisfaction and impair our ability to attract additional customers.

Losing Major Content Providers May Leave Us With Insufficient Breadth Of Content To Retain and Attract Customers.

We do not generate large quantities of original content and therefore are highly dependent upon third-party content providers. If we were to lose one of our major content providers and were not able to obtain similar content from another source, our services would be less attractive to customers. In addition, we cannot be certain that we will be able to license content from our current or new providers on favorable terms in the future, if at all.

Our Dependence On Key Personnel.

Our future success may depend on the continued services of our senior management and other key personnel. We do not maintain “key person” life insurance for any of our personnel. Our future success will also depend on our ability to attract, retain and motivate other highly skilled employees. Companies in our industry compete intensely to hire and retain qualified personnel and if we are not able to attract the employees we need or retain the services of those we have hired, our business operations could be materially, adversely affected.

Our Common Stock Price Is Volatile, Fluctuates Significantly and Trades on a Sporadic Basis.

The trading price of our Common Stock has been, and probably will continue to be, subject to wide fluctuations and limited trading volume. The shares are traded on the OTCBB. The stock is not followed by any security analysts and has a limited and unpredictable number of market makers. During fiscal year 2008, the closing prices of our Common Stock ranged from $0.18 to $0.35. In addition to the foregoing, the stock price may also fluctuate in response to a number of events and factors, such as the following:

quarterly variations in operating results;

announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;

the operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable; and

news reports relating to trends in our markets.

In addition, the stock market in general, and the market prices for Internet-related companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies.

Potential Acquisitions, Mergers and/or Strategic Investments May Result In Increased Expenses, Difficulties In Integrating Target Companies and Diversion Of Management’s Attention.

We anticipate that from time to time, we may consider acquisitions of assets or businesses that we believe may enable us to obtain complementary skills and capabilities, offer new services, expand our customer base or obtain other competitive advantages. Growth through acquisitions and/or mergers involves potential risks, including, but not limited to, the following:

diversion of management’s attention during the acquisition/merger process;

costs, delays and difficulties of integrating the acquired company’s operations, technology and personnel into our operations;

adverse affect on earnings due to amortizing any intangible assets acquired;

issuance of new equity securities that dilute the holdings of existing stockholders; and

uncertainty of working with new employees and customers.

Our Executive Officers and Directors Significantly Influence All Matters Requiring Stockholder Vote.

Our executive officers and directors, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 25% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, our executive officers and directors are able to significantly influence the outcome of all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant transactions. This concentration of ownership could delay, deter or prevent a change of control and could adversely affect the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

We Have No Intention To Pay Dividends.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for funding growth and, therefore, do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Item 2. Description of Property

We own no real estate. We lease office space at 625 N. Washington Street in Alexandria, Virginia. We currently lease 4,000 square feet at a monthly expense of approximately $8,900, with said agreement expiring in January 2011. In addition, we sub-lease 2,273 rentable square feet of space in New York, New York, at a cost of approximately $9,100 per month, which lease will expire in June 2009. We also rent a corporate apartment in Old Town Alexandria under a month-to-month lease.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

On April 15, 2004, the Company’s former Chairman/CEO and President, both of whom resigned on February 5, 2004, filed separate demands for arbitration against the Company related to the terms of their employment agreements. The demands alleged breaches of the employment agreements and requested payment of approximately $129,000 to the former employees. On August 8, 2006, an arbitrator denied the former President’s claim, awarding only a bonus, vacation pay and certain previously granted options, none of which was in dispute. On September 26, 2007, a different arbitrator denied all of the former Chairman/CEO’s claims, and instructed the former Chairman/CEO to pay Comtex half of the fees charged by the American Arbitration Association pertaining to the arbitration. The Company received partial payment and is currently pursuing collection of the remaining balance due to it by the former Chairman/CEO. The Company had accrued approximately $61,000 in expenses in previous periods, which were reversed in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and recorded as a reduction of general and administrative expenses.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

None.

Item 6.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We generate revenues primarily from charges to distributors for the licensing of enhanced content, including CustomWires, TopNews products and publishers’ full feeds. Distributor licenses typically consist of minimum royalty commitments and fixed fees for communication and support. Royalties are based upon our customers’ business and revenue models such that success in their chosen markets generates increasing revenues for us.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses 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 assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect significant judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Revenue

Information services revenues (royalties and fixed fees) are recognized as services are rendered based on contractual terms such as usage, fixed fee, percentage of distributor revenues or other pricing models. Start-up fee revenues, charges for implementation and initial integration support of our products, are recognized over the initial term of the contract pursuant to the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. Amounts received in advance of service performance are deferred and recognized over the service period. Certain royalty revenues are estimated based on prior usage reports and adjusted accordingly, based on reporting received from customers.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts; Sales Allowance

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potentially uncollectible receivables and a sales allowance to reserve for potential credits issued to customers. The allowances are estimates calculated based on an analysis of current business and economic risks, customer credit-worthiness, specific identifiable risks such as bankruptcies, terminations or discontinued customers, or other factors that may indicate loss.

Long-lived Assets, Including Capitalized Software

We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, our long-lived assets to be held and used, including capitalized software, to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. We base our evaluation on certain impairment indicators, such as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefit of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements, as well as other external market conditions or factors that may be present. If these impairment indicators are present or other factors exist that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, we then use an estimate of the undiscounted value of expected future operating cash flows to determine whether the asset is recoverable and measure the amount of any impairment as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its estimated fair value. The fair value is estimated using valuation techniques such as market prices for similar assets or discounted future operating cash flows.

Contingencies

From time to time, we are subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to labor and other matters. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these contingencies, as well as potential ranges of probable losses and establish reserves accordingly. The amounts of reserve required, if any, may change in future periods due to new developments in each matter or changes in approach to a matter such as a change in settlement strategy.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2008 to the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2007

The net income for the year ended June 30, 2008 increased to approximately $713,000, from a net loss of approximately $107,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007, an improvement of approximately $820,000. The increase in net income primarily resulted from reductions in the cost of revenues and reduced sales/marketing and general and administrative expenses, slightly offset by an increase in technical operations expenses. Also key factors in the year over year comparison were the realization of approximately $181,000 of prior years revenue from a customer as a result of an internal audit by the customer, the reversal of approximately $61,000 of other professional and legal fees due to the settlement of arbitration with the Company’s former CEO and a significant one-time charge for debt conversion expense incurred in the year ended June 30, 2007.

Revenues consisted primarily of royalty revenues and fees from the licensing of content products to information distributors. During the year ended June 30, 2008, our revenues were approximately $7,070,400, consistent with revenues of approximately $7,069,400 for the year ended June 30, 2007. During the year ended June 30, 2008 the Company realized approximately $181,000 of prior years revenue from a customer as a result of an internal audit by the customer.

Two of the Company’s customers (which are comprised of a series of subsidiaries under the common control of a parent company) individually accounted for approximately 16.3% and 14.8% of revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and one of the Company’s customers accounted for approximately 22.4% of revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The Company maintains reserves on accounts receivable and to date for fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 credit losses have not exceeded management’s expectations.

Our cost of revenues consisted primarily of content licensing fees and royalties to content providers, depreciation expense on our production software, and data communication costs for the delivery of our products to customers. The cost of revenues for the year ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $2,611,000, a decrease of approximately $448,000, or 14.7%, from the cost of revenues for the year ended June 30, 2007. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in royalty usage fees, renegotiation of fixed costs associated with certain content providers, and a decrease in software amortization expense.

The gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $4,460,000, an increase of approximately $449,000, or 11.2%, from the prior fiscal year. The gross margin percentage increased for the year ended June 30, 2008, to approximately 63.1% from approximately 56.7% in the prior fiscal year. The increase in gross profit resulted from the decrease in cost of revenues.

Total operating expenses for the year ended June 30, 2008 were approximately $3,712,000, representing an approximate $131,000, or 3.4%, decrease in operating expenses from the year ended June 30, 2007. This decrease in expenses resulted from a reduction in sales/marketing and general and administrative expenses, offset by an increase in technical operations and support expense.

Technical operations and support expenses during the year ended June 30, 2008 increased approximately $171,000, or 14.1%, from those incurred during the year ended June 30, 2007. This increase resulted from expanded use of outside consultants for development of new products and an increase in technology department salaries and related expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by approximately $86,000, or 11.9% for year ended June 30, 2008 compared to the prior year. The decrease was the result of lower sales and marketing personnel and related expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2008 decreased approximately $218,000, or 11.8%, compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease was due to a reduction in stock-based compensation expense and lower salaries and related expenses.

Stock-based compensation expense for the year ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $3,000, compared to $44,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Stock-based compensation was recorded based on SFAS 123R in both fiscal years.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $70,000, or 2.7%, higher than depreciation and amortization expense for the prior fiscal year. The increase was due to technology upgrades.

Other expense, net of other income, for the year ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $30,000, compared to approximately $269,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007. This change was mainly attributable to the non-cash expense resulting from the implementation of SFAS No. 84 accounting treatment of the Note Repayment Agreement recorded for the year ended June 30, 2007.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the year ended June 30, 2008, we had operating income of approximately $748,000 and net income of approximately $713,000. At June 30, 2008, we had working capital of approximately $1,388,000, compared to working capital of approximately $888,000 at June 30, 2007. Stockholders’ equity increased to approximately $1,826,000 at June 30, 2008 from $1,110,000 at June 30, 2007. The increases in working capital and stockholders’ equity were primarily attributable to net income earned during fiscal 2008.

We had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,521,000 at June 30, 2008, compared to approximately $581,000 at June 30, 2007. For the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company provided approximately $940,000 in cash, of which $713,000 was provided by net income. Also contributing to the increase in cash was the sale of marketable securities held at the year ended June 30, 2007.

We made capital expenditures of approximately $301,000 during the year ended June 30, 2008, primarily for upgrades of computer and communications equipment. Financing activities resulted in payments of approximately $30,000 in broker margin accounts.

The Company’s future contractual obligations and commitments as of June 30, 2008 were as follows:

	Contractual Obligations
	2009		2010		2011		2012		2013		Total
Operating Leases	$	293,233	$	174,721	$	115,681	$	7,482	$	-	$	591,117

Total	$	293,233	$	174,721	$	115,681	$	7,482	$	-	$	591,117

Currently we are dependent on our cash reserves to fund operations. We have the option available to use accounts receivable financing through our ongoing banking financing agreement. Although we recorded net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 compared to a net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, our revenue base remained fairly consistent. Considering the possible erosion of revenue due to continuing market conditions, without an infusion of capital, the Company could be at risk of being unable to generate sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations. The Company utilized and will continue to utilize its bank financing agreement, should the need arise, to meet its liquidity needs. Further corporate consolidation or sustained market deterioration affecting our customers could impair our ability to generate such revenues. No assurance may be given that we will be able to maintain the revenue base or the profitable operations that may be necessary to achieve our liquidity needs.

EBITDA, excluding the effects of stock-based compensation and debt conversion expense as defined below, was approximately $835,000 for year ended June 30, 2008 compared to EBITDA of approximately $322,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007. The increase in EBITDA during the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to the prior year was the result of improved net income.

The table below shows the reconciliation between net income (loss) and EBITDA:

	Fiscal Year Ended June 30,
	2008		2007

Net Income (Loss)	$	713	$	(107	)
Stock-based compensation		3		44
Depreciation and Amortization		84		110
Other Expense, Net		30		269
Income Taxes		5		6
EBITDA	$	835	$	322

EBITDA consists of earnings before stock-based compensation, debt conversion expense, interest expense, interest and other income, unrealized and realized gains (losses) in marketable securities, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA does not represent funds available for management's discretionary use and is not intended to represent cash flow from operations. EBITDA should also not be construed as a substitute for operating income or a better measure of liquidity than cash flow from operating activities, which are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA excludes components that are significant in understanding and assessing our results of operations and cash flows. In addition, EBITDA is not a term defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and as a result, our measure of EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

However, we believe that EBITDA is relevant and useful information, which is often reported and widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in our industry. Accordingly, we are disclosing this information to permit a more comprehensive analysis of our operating performance, as an additional meaningful measure of performance and liquidity, and to provide additional information with respect to our ability to meet future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. See the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report for more detailed information.

COMTEX NEWS NETWORK, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2008

THE COMPANY

Comtex News Network, Inc. (the "Company" or "Comtex"), is a leading wholesaler of electronic real-time news and content to major financial and business information distributors. Comtex enhances and standardizes news and other content received from newswire services and publishers in order to provide editorially superior and technically uniform products to its customers. The customers then package, integrate and distribute these products to their end-users. Comtex processes unique real-time news stories each day. Processing includes adding stock ticker symbols, indexing by keyword and category, and converting the diverse publisher materials and formats received into XML, the industry standard delivery format.

Consistent with standard practice in the information aggregation industry, the Company generally has renewable long-term contractual relationships with those information providers and information distributors with which it does business. The Company generates revenues primarily from charges to distributors for the licensing of enhanced content, including CustomWires, TopNews products and publishers’ full feeds. Distributor licenses typically consist of minimum royalty commitments and fixed fees for data communications and support. Royalties are based upon the customers’ business and revenue models such that success in their chosen markets generates increasing revenues for the Company. Fees and royalties from information distributors comprise the majority of the Company’s revenues. Fees and royalties due to information providers, along with telecommunications costs and employee payroll costs, comprise the majority of the Company’s costs and expenses. The Company operates and reports in one segment, information services.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

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

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. Information services revenues are recognized as services are rendered based on contractual terms such as usage, fixed fee, percentage of distributor revenues or other pricing models. The Company defers start-up fee revenues and recognizes revenue over the initial term of contracts for content services. Amounts received in advance are deferred and recognized over the service period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximate fair value. Cash equivalents are high-quality, short-term money market instruments with an original maturity of three months or less and consist of time deposits with U.S. commercial banks and money market fund investments.

Cash Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of maximizing near term re-sales and are classified as trading securities. Marketable securities are recorded at fair value, measured by quoted market prices in an active market with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates doubtful accounts based on historical bad debts, factors related to specific customers’ ability to pay and current economic trends. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance when a balance is determined to be uncollectible.

Research and Development

The Company conducts ongoing research and development in the areas of product enhancement and quality assurance. Such costs are expensed as incurred. Product development costs for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $307,000 and $285,000, respectively, and are included in technical operations and support in the statements of operations.

Advertising

The Company engages in advertising and promotional activities to promote its products and services. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $30,000 and $4,000, respectively and are included in sales and marketing in the statements of operations.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and the cost of renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Depreciation and amortization, which includes the amortization of assets under capital leases, are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the related assets - five years for furniture and fixtures, computer equipment and software development and three years for purchased software. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

Software for Internal Use

The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in the development of internal use software pursuant to the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position No. 98-1 (SOP 98-1), Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software for Internal Use. In accordance with SOP 98-1, the Company capitalizes internal software development costs incurred during the application development stage. Software development costs incurred prior to or subsequent to the application development stage are expensed as incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, long-lived assets to be held and used, including capitalized software, for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The evaluation is based on certain impairment indicators, such as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefit of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements, as well as other external market conditions or factors that may be present. If these impairment indicators are present or other factors exist that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, then an estimate of the undiscounted value of expected future operating cash flows is used to determine whether the asset is recoverable and the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its estimated fair value. The fair value is estimated using valuation techniques such as market prices for similar assets or discounted future operating cash flows.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when the Company cannot make the determination that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the related tax asset will be realized.

Stock-based Compensation

Prior to fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based employee compensation under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations and provided the required pro forma disclosures under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“Statement 123”). On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123(R) addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS No. 123(R) eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. Comtex adopted this standard on its effective date, July 1, 2005.

The Company accounts for non-employee stock-based awards in which goods or services are the consideration received for the equity instruments based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued, in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued To Other Than Employees For Acquiring, or in Conjunction With Selling Goods or Services.

Risks and Uncertainties

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company periodically performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, two of the Company’s customers accounted for approximately 16.3% and 14.8% of gross revenues and as of June 30, 2008 these customers receivables accounted for 22.4% and 11.8% of gross receivables. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, one of the Company’s customers accounted for approximately 22.4% of gross revenues. The Company maintains reserves on accounts receivable and to date credit losses have not exceeded management’s expectations.

Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

Earnings per common share is presented in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("EPS"). Basic EPS excludes dilution for potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock and resulted in the issuance of common stock. Diluted EPS was equal to basic EPS for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 since all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive. Diluted net loss per common share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 does not include the effects of options to purchase approximately 3.3 million shares as the inclusion of these options would have been anti-dilutive. Diluted EPS for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 does not include the effects of options to purchase approximately 2.2 million shares due to the options’ exercise prices being greater than the average market price of the Company's common shares during the respective period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued expenses and other current assets and liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values because of the relatively short maturity of those instruments.

Reclassifications

For comparability, certain 2007 amounts have been reclassified, where appropiate, to conform to the Financial Statement Presentation used in 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company adopted FIN 48 effective July 1, 2007 and determined the adoption to have no effect on results of operations or financial position for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. The Company will record any future penalties and tax related interest expense as a component of provision for income taxes.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands fair value measurement disclosures. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating whether adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have an impact on the financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 addresses the diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements and establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of misstatements on each of the Company’s financial statements and the related disclosures. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The application of SAB 108 did not have any impact on the Company’s balance sheet, statements of operations, or statements of cash flows for fiscal 2008.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements. This standard will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

During the year ended June 30, 2008, there have been additional Accounting Pronouncements issued none of which are expected to effect the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Note Payable

On December 9, 2003, the Company executed an amendment to the Amended, Consolidated and Restated 10% Senior Subordinated Secured Note (the “Amended Note”), payable to AMASYS Corporation ("AMASYS"), (the “Third Amendment”) for the purpose of reducing the price at which the Amended Note could have been converted into common stock of the Company. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, AMASYS agreed to subordinate the Amended Note to senior debt instruments. AMASYS, at the time was deemed to be an affiliated company by nature of its stock ownership position and its Chairman and President, C.W. Gilluly, Chairman of the Company. In consideration for subordination agreements, the Company agreed to reduce the conversion price stipulated in the Amended Note from the previously-stated conversion price of $1.20 per share to $0.75 per share, which price increased by $0.05 every one hundred and eighty (180) days thereafter.

On September 26, 2006, AMASYS executed an agreement to redeem from the holders of its Preferred Stock, pro rata to their respective ownership interests, 55,209 shares of AMASYS Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for: (a) AMASYS’ entire interest in the outstanding Amended Note of Comtex in the amount of $856,954; and (b) 2,153,437 shares of Comtex common stock. As of September 26, 2006 AMASYS transferred all title and interest in the Note to unrelated third party investors.

On February 28, 2007, in order to save the Company the continuing costs of servicing the Note, Comtex entered into a Note Repayment Agreement with the holders of the Note to settle this Note for a combination of cash and restricted stock equal to the value of the Note. The total consideration paid was $650,000 in cash and the issuance of 1,591,953 shares of restricted common stock of Comtex. In accordance with SFAS No. 84, Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt, the Company recorded a non-cash expense in the amount of $234,336 for the year ended June 30, 2007. SFAS No. 84 prescribes the method by which value is ascribed to transactions in which the repayment of debt via the issuance of stock varies from its original terms.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

At June 30, 2008 the Company held no marketable securities, and realized losses for the fiscal year were $65,157. Marketable securities at June 30, 2007 consisted of equity positions with a cost of $524,406 and fair value of $523,303. Realized gains and losses are determined based on the specific identification method. Gross realized losses amounted to $5,845 and unrealized holding losses amounted to $1,103 for the year ended June 30, 2007.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment consisted of the following at June 30, 2008:

Property and Equipment, Net	$	394,927

AMOUNT DUE UNDER BANK FINANCING AGREEMENT

In December 2003, the Company entered into an Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement with a bank (the “Financing Agreement”), which provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $1 million collateralized by the Company’s accounts receivable. At June 30, 2008, no amount was due to the bank for advances under the Financing Agreement. The outstanding agreement provides for total available credit of $800,000 with interest at prime plus one or two percent depending on the credit worthiness of the customer. This facility expires on December 24, 2008.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes included in the Statements of Operations consist principally of state income taxes and local franchise taxes. The tax provision differs from the amounts computed using the statutory federal income tax rate as follows:

	2008			2007
Provision at statutory federal income tax rate		34.0	%		34.0	%
Benefit of NOL		(34.0	)%
Provision - state income tax		4.0	%		4.0	%
Permanent items		1.1	%		(86.7	)%
Other adjustments		1.5	%		(15.5	)%
Other Change in valuation allowance		(5.5	)%		58.0	%
Effective income tax rate		1.1	%		(6.2	)%

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes.

Significant components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2008, were as follows:

Deferred tax assets:
Depreciation	$	166,282
Net operating loss carryforwards		1,190,474
Allowance for bad debts		43,851
Options to executives		311,550
Accruals		38,172
AMT credit carryforwards		5,180
Capital loss carryforwards		27,400
Total deferred tax assets		1,782,909

Less: Valuation allowance		(1,782,909	)

Net deferred tax asset (liability)	$	-

The Company has a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward available to offset future taxable income of approximately $3,132,000 as of June 30, 2008. The net change in valuation allowance during 2008 was a decrease of approximately $284,000. The NOL’s expire in the years 2021 through 2024. Utilization of these net operating losses may be subject to limitations in the event of significant changes in stock ownership of the Company.

In assessing the realizability of its net deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets are realizable. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of June 30, 2008, the Company provided a full valuation allowance of approximately $1,783,000 against its net deferred tax assets.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company’s 2003 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2003 Plan”) and 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "1995 Plan") provide for both incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and non-qualified stock options to purchase shares by key employees, consultants and directors of the Company. The 1995 Plan expired on October 12, 2005 and the Company will no longer grant options under its provisions. At this time, the Company has not replaced the 1995 Plan and does not intend to do so. The exercise price of an incentive stock option is required to be at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant (110% of the fair market value in the case of options granted to employees who are 10% shareholders). The exercise price of a non-qualified stock option is required to be not less than the par value, nor greater than the fair market value, of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The term of an incentive or non-qualified stock option may not exceed ten years (five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% stockholder), and options generally vest within three years of issuance.

Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted Statement 123(R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payments made to employees, including employee stock option, performance share, performance unit, restricted stock and restricted unit awards based on estimated fair value. The Company previously applied the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion, or APB, No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations and provided the required pro forma disclosures under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“Statement 123”).

The Company is using the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, compensation cost recognized for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 includes: (a) compensation costs for all share based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of July 1, 2005, based on grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to July 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated. As a result of adopting Statement 123(R) on July 1, 2005, the Company’s income before income taxes and net income for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $3,297and $44,084, respectively, lower than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB Opinion 25. Basic earnings per share would have been $0.05 and $0.00 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, had the Company not adopted SFAS 123(R) compared to $0.05 and $(0.01), respectively, for basic loss per share with the adoption. The adoption of Statement 123(R) had no effect on cash flow from operations and cash flow from financing activities for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

These numbers includes (a) $7 and $24,372, for fiscal year 2008 and 2007, respectively, of compensation costs for all share based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of July 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement 123, and (b) $3,290 and $19,712 for fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively, of compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to July 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of 123(R). No income tax benefits are recognized in the statement of operations for share-based arrangements due to the utilization of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards.

Stock-based compensation costs are allocated in operating expense categories as follows:

	For the Year Ended June 30,
	2008		2007

Technical Operations & Support	$	1,182	$	7,326

Item 8.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

The Company’s Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Company engaged Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP (“GGK”) to conduct its annual audit and quarterly reviews of the financial statements. On November 26, 2007, the Company was notified by GGK that certain partners of GGK had become partners of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP (“M&P”) in a limited asset purchase agreement effective October 3, 2007 and that GGK resigned as independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. Effective November 27, 2007, M&P was appointed as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm. The Company's Audit Committee approved the decision to engage M&P.

On July 31, 2008, the Audit Committee terminated the services of M&P as the Company’s independent accounting firm. The Company, with the approval of the Audit Committee, engaged Turner Stone & Company, LLP (“Turner Stone”) as its new independent accounting firm, effective August 1, 2008. GGK reported on the financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2007. Turner Stone has been engaged to audit the financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended June 30, 2008. There were no disagreements with GGK and GGK’s report on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2007 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

Additionally, the Company engaged the services of Envision Business Solutions LLC to perform its tax compliance work for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Item 8A.

Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision, and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Corporate Controller, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) at the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Corporate Controller concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Item 8B.

Other Information

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our system of internal control is designed under the supervision of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with the authorization of management and the Boards of Directors of the Company and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.

As of June 30, 2008, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based upon the framework established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based upon its assessment, management believes that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008 is effective using these criteria.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

PART III

ITEM 9.

Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters, Control Persons and Corporate Governance Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

The Board of Directors of Comtex News Network, Inc. (“Comtex” or the “Company”) consists of five persons and is divided into three classes, with one class of directors elected each year.

The Board of Directors held a total of five meetings during the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. Each director attended in person or telephonically at least 80% of the meetings held.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Audit Committee

The Audit Committee, which held four meetings during fiscal year 2008, is comprised of Messrs. Lynch, Howard and VanBennekom. The Audit Committee selects and engages our independent registered public accounting firm, reviews and evaluates our audit and control functions, reviews the results and scope of the audit and other services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm, and performs such other duties as may from time to time be determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Lynch is an “audit committee financial expert.” Each of Mr. Lynch, Mr. Howard and Mr. VanBennekom is an “independent director” as defined in Rule 4200 of the Marketplace Rules of NASDAQ.

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

The Audit Committee has issued a report that states as follows:

We have reviewed and discussed with management the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008;

We have discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61; and

We have received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees,” and have discussed with the registered public accounting firm their independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, we recommend to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

Submitted by the Audit Committee

Robert J. Lynch, Jr., Chairman

William J. Howard

Pieter VanBennekom

The preceding report on Audit Committee procedures shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any of our previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which might incorporate filings made by us under those acts, nor will such report be incorporated by reference into any future filings made by us under those acts, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference.

The Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which held four meetings during fiscal year 2008, is comprised of Messrs. Howard, Hendricks and Lynch. The Compensation Committee evaluates management’s recommendations and makes its own recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning the compensation of the Company’s executive officers. It is also responsible for the formulation of the Company’s executive compensation policy and the research, analysis and subsequent recommendation regarding the administration of the Company’s 1995 Stock Option Plan, which expired in October 2005, and the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan.

General. The Company believes its compensation policies are designed to provide competitive levels of compensation that integrate with the Company’s annual and long-term quantitative and qualitative performance factors. The compensation policies reward above-average corporate performance, recognize individual initiative and achievements and assist the Company in attracting and retaining qualified executives.

The Company establishes compensation, including compensation for the Chief Executive and Operating Officers, based on both objective and subjective criteria. Objective criteria include actual versus target annual operating budget performance and actual versus target revenue growth, either as to the Company as a whole, or as to the officer’s particular operating unit. Subjective performance criteria encompass evaluation of each officer’s initiative and contribution to overall corporate performance, the officer’s managerial ability, and the officer’s performance in any special projects that the officer may have undertaken.

Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(M)

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code disallows a tax deduction to publicly held companies for compensation paid to certain of their executive officers, to the extent that compensation, whether payable in cash or stock, exceeds $1 million per covered officer in any fiscal year. The limitation applies only to compensation that is not considered to be performance-based. Non-performance-based compensation paid to our executive officers for the 2008 fiscal year did not exceed the $1 million limit per officer, and the Compensation Committee does not anticipate that any non-performance-based compensation payable to the executive officers for the 2008 fiscal year will exceed that limit. Because it is unlikely that the actual compensation payable to any of our executive officers in the foreseeable future will approach the $1 million limit, the Compensation Committee has decided at this time not to take any action to limit or restructure the elements of cash compensation payable to the executive officers. The Compensation Committee shall reconsider this decision should the individual cash compensation of any executive officer ever approach the $1 million level.

The preceding report on executive compensation shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any of our previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which might incorporate filings made by us under those acts, nor will such report be incorporated by reference into any future filings made by us under those acts, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference.

The Executive Committee

The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, which held no meetings during fiscal year 2008, is comprised of Messrs. VanBennekom, Hendricks and Lynch. The Executive Committee is chartered to act in place of the full Board between Board meetings, if actions are required, and to fulfill the function of reviewing any initial merger and acquisition and/or partnering proposals.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors, which held no meetings during fiscal year 2008, is comprised of Messrs. Hendricks, Howard and VanBennekom. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets in order to evaluate and nominate candidates for membership in the Board of Directors and to serve as officers of the Company.

Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

The Company does not have a policy regarding director attendance at annual meetings of stockholders.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

The Common Stock of the Company is registered with the SEC pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The officers and directors of the Company and beneficial owners of greater than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock are required to file reports on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC disclosing beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of the Common Stock. SEC rules require disclosure in the Company’s Proxy Statement or Annual Report on Form 10-KSB of the failure of an officer, director or 10% beneficial owner of the Company’s Common Stock to file a Form 3, 4, or 5 on a timely basis. Based on the Company’s review of such ownership reports, the Company believes that no officer, director or 10% beneficial owner of the Company failed to file such ownership reports on a timely basis for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that is applicable to the officers, directors and employees of the Company, including the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Code is available on our website and amendments to and waivers from the Code will also be disclosed on the Company’s website.
