1. Restatement

The Company has restated its financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to correct errors in such financial statements.

The restatement of the Company’s financial statements is based upon a review of the accounting treatment of certain transactions entered into by the Company with certain investors in 2006 and 2007. During this review, the Company discovered that it had incorrectly applied a restriction discount to the market value of its Common Stock based on a long history of selling restricted Common Stock to a group of investors.  The discounted stock price was then used in the allocation of proceeds between debt and equity for units of convertible promissory notes and restricted common shares that were sold to investors in late 2006 and early 2007. The discounted stock price was also used to determine if there was a beneficial conversion related to the convertible promissory notes. The same methodology was used in late 2007 when the Company issued convertible promissory notes along with Common Stock warrants.

The following tables present the effects of the restatement adjustments on the Company’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2008, its statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Continuation as a Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements for Form 10-Q and contemplates continuation of ANTs software inc. (the “Company”) as a going concern.  However, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has had minimal revenues since inception, incurred losses from operations since its inception and has a net accumulated deficit during its years of operations totaling $94,942,661, as of June 30, 2009. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management’s ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet obligations and repay liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.  If further financing is not obtained, the Company may not have enough operating funds to continue to operate as a going concern. Securing additional sources of financing to enable the Company to continue the development and commercialization of proprietary technologies will be difficult and there is no assurance of our ability to secure such financing. A failure to obtain additional financing could prevent the Company from making expenditures that are needed to pay current obligations, allow the hiring of additional development personnel and continue development of our product and technology. The Company is actively in the process of seeking additional capital through private placements of equity and/or debt.  At current cash levels, management believes it has sufficient funds to operate through the third quarter of 2009. Should additional financing not be obtained, the Company will not be able to execute its business plan and the recoverability of its intangible assets may become impaired. Management’s plans, if successful, will mitigate the factors that raise substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The December 31, 2008 consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements filed with our 10-K as of December 31, 2008 and therefore may not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements.

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The information furnished reflects all adjustments (all of which were of a normal recurring nature), which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to make the consolidated financial statements not misleading and to fairly present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows on a consistent basis. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 (restated) are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in the future.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ANTs software inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Inventa Technologies, Inc. (“Inventa”) from May 30, 2008, the date of acquisition (collectively referred to as the “Company”).  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates made by management include allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets, the fair value of the warrants and debt issued in conjunction with the issuance of the promissory notes, and assumptions incorporated in determining stock-based compensation.
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”), goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of December 31, or whenever impairment indicators arise.  The Company utilizes one reporting unit in evaluating goodwill for impairment and assesses the estimated fair value of the reporting unit based on discounted future cash flows.  If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, further analysis will take place to determine whether or not the Company should recognize an impairment charge.
 
The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and takes into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that an impairment may exist.  All of our intangible assets are subject to amortization.  Intangible assets include proprietary technology, amortized on a straight line basis over a 5-year period; customer relationships, amortized on a straight-line basis over a 10-year period; and trade name, which has an indefinite useful life and is not being amortized.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets such as property and equipment are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.  When the indicators of impairment are present and the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets is less than the assets’ carrying value, the related assets will be written down to fair value.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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.

The income tax benefits generated in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 (restated) as a result of the Company’s net losses have been fully offset by recording a valuation allowance in each period.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes license and royalty revenue in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (“SOP 97-2”), and SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions. Revenues consist of product revenues representing sales of customized platforms using our intellectual property, licenses and royalties and services revenues representing managed and professional services fees for maintenance and support services. Maintenance and support revenue is deferred and recognized over the related contract period, generally twelve months, beginning with customer acceptance of the product.

The Company uses the residual method to recognize revenue when a license agreement includes one or more elements to be delivered at a future date. If there is an undelivered element under the license arrangement, the Company will defer revenue based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of the fair value of the undelivered element, as determined by the price charged when the element is sold separately.  If the VSOE of fair value does not exist for all undelivered elements, the Company defers all revenue until sufficient evidence exists or all elements have been delivered. Under the residual method, discounts are allocated only to the delivered elements in a multiple element arrangement with any undelivered elements being deferred based on VSOE of fair values of such undelivered elements. Revenue from software license arrangements, which comprise prepaid license and maintenance and support fees, is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:

·  
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
·  
Delivery has occurred and there are no future deliverables except Post-contract Customer Support;
·  
The fee is fixed and determinable.  If the Company cannot conclude that a fee is fixed and determinable, then assuming all other criteria have been met, revenue is recognized as payments become due in accordance with paragraph 29 of SOP 97-2; and
·  
Collection is probable.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has two stock-based employee and director compensation plans (the ANTs software inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan and the ANTs software inc. 2008 Stock Plan). Since January 1, 2006, the Company has been using the provisions of SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123(R)"), to account for stock-based awards compensation expense. The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, generally three years; however, the Company has also issued stock options with performance-based vesting criteria.

All stock-based awards to nonemployees are accounted for at their fair value in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. The Company has recorded the fair value of each stock option issued to non-employees as determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized at fair value in the financial statements measured at fair value on a recurring basis. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for the Company to January 1, 2009 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.  The Company adopted these remaining provisions on January 1, 2009.  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. Adoption of these standards did not have a significant impact on our accounting for financial instruments.

On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Positions (“FSP”) FAS 157-4, FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, and FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1. These FSPs are intended to provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures about fair value measurements and impairments of securities. FSP FAS 157-4 clarifies the objective and method of fair value measurement even when there has been a significant decrease in market activity for the asset being measured. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 established a new model for measuring other-than-temporary impairments for debt securities, including establishing criteria for when to recognize a write-down through earnings versus other comprehensive income. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 expand the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to interim periods. Adoption of these FSPs did not have a significant impact on our accounting for financial instruments.

The Company’s carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying values of the convertible promissory notes approximate their fair values. To determine the fair value of the convertible promissory notes, the Company estimated the fair value by first determining the Company’s effective borrowing rate (see Note 6). The effective borrowing rate was estimated by considering the Company’s high credit risk and high risk of nonperformance. The Company then evaluated the present value of the future cash flows for convertible promissory notes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), which is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2010. This Statement amends FIN 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an interpretation of ARB No. 51 , to require revised evaluations of whether entities represent variable interest entities, ongoing assessments of control over such entities, and additional disclosures for variable interests. The Company believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“Codification”) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.
 
In June 2008, the FASB issued EITF No. 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock ("EITF 07-5"). EITF 07-5 provides guidance to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity's own stock when evaluating the instrument as a derivative under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”). An instrument that is both indexed to an entity's own stock and classified in stockholder's equity in the entity's statement of financial position is not considered a derivative for the purposes of applying the guidance in SFAS No. 133. EITF 07-5 provides a two-step process to determine whether an equity-linked instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock first by evaluating the instrument's contingent exercise provisions, if any, and second, by evaluating the instrument's settlement provisions. The Company adopted EITF 07-5 on January 1, 2009 and there was no material impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

3.   Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ending June 30, 2009 and 2008 (restated), respectively. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had 10,175,346 and 10,625,433 antidilutive shares of Common Stock related to stock options, respectively. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had 11,195,700 and 12,106,115 antidilutive shares of Common Stock related to convertible promissory notes. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, warrants for the purchase of 5,145,441 and 4,557,941 shares of Common Stock, respectively, at prices ranging from $0.60 to $2.31 per share were antidilutive.

6.   Debt

As of June 30, 2009, the outstanding balance of the Convertible Promissory Notes was $4,166,058. This is comprised of notes with a face amount of $10,703,226 less unamortized debt discount of $6,537,168.

Debt discount and other issuance costs associated with the Convertible Promissory Notes are amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the Convertible Promissory Notes using the effective interest method or the straight-line method, whichever is applicable. Upon conversion of Convertible Promissory Notes into Common Stock, unamortized costs relating to the notes converted are charged to interest expense. Total charges to interest expense for debt discount and other issuance costs were $876,003 and $463,672 (restated) for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Total charges to interest expense for debt discount and other issuance costs were $1,657,136 and $1,052,829 (restated) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The relative fair value of the warrants issued in conjunction with these notes created debt discount totaling $78,693. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected stock price volatility of 0.982, risk-free interest rate of 1.39%, and an expected life of three years. In conjunction with the issuance of these 1% Convertible Promissory Notes, the Company also recorded the intrinsic value of the related beneficial conversion feature of $20,125 to Additional Paid-in Capital. Immediately after issuance, the two 1% Convertible Promissory Notes were converted into 287,500 shares of Common Stock at $0.40 per share.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the due date of a $200,000 Convertible Promissory Note was extended from March 20, 2009 to the earlier of August 20, 2009 or the receipt of $2,000,000 in financing. The Company also agreed to issue 5,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for each month or fraction thereof during which the note is outstanding, with no other terms being modified. This extension was not considered a significant modification in accordance with EITF 96-19, Debtors Accounting for Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments.  The holder of the note also agreed to accept shares of the Company’s stock in consideration for interest payments. As of June 30, 2009, the Company recorded $11,450 to Additional Paid-in Capital related to 11,450 shares of Common Stock were issuable related to the note extension and interest payments.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company reduced the conversion price of a $125,000, 10% Convertible Promissory Notes from $1.20 to $0.60 and reduced the conversion price of three 10% Convertible Promissory Notes totaling $625,000 from $0.80 to $0.40 to induce conversion of the notes into Common Stock. The other terms of the Notes remained unchanged. Immediately after the reduction in the conversion price, the 10% Convertible Promissory Note totaling $125,000 was converted into 208,333 Common Shares at $0.60 per share and the three 10% Convertible Promissory Notes totaling $625,000 were converted into 1,562,500 Common Shares at $0.40 per share. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 84 (As Amended), Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt, the Company recorded the fair value of the additional 885,417 of Common Stock shares issued due to the reduced conversion price and recorded a loss on the conversion of the convertible promissory notes totaling $495,833, which is equal to the fair value of the additional shares of Common Stock transferred resulting from the inducement. This amount was based on the closing price of the stock on the date of conversion of $0.56 per share. In conjunction with the conversion, the Company issued 23,850 shares of Common Stock, with a fair value of $0.56 per share, to the placement agent as a commission per the original agreement.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto in Part 1 Item 1, Financial Statements for this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Such forward-looking statements herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that we will have adequate financial resources to fund the development and operation of our business, that there will be no material adverse change in our operations or business, that we will meet success in marketing and selling our products, and that we will be able to continue to attract and retain skilled employees necessary for our business, among other things. The foregoing assumptions are based on judgments with respect to, among other things, information available to our future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions. All of these assumptions are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many are beyond our control. Accordingly, although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any such assumption could prove to be inaccurate and therefore there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in the forward-looking statements will be realized. There are a number of risks presented by our business and operations, which could cause our financial performance to vary markedly from prior results, or results contemplated by the forward-looking statements.

Restatement

The Company has restated its financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 to correct errors in such financial statements.

The restatement of our financial statements is based upon a review of the accounting treatment of certain transactions entered into by the Company with certain investors in 2006 and 2007. During this review, we discovered that the Company had incorrectly applied a restriction discount to the market value of its Common Stock based on a long history of selling restricted Common Stock to a group of investors.  The discounted stock price was then used in the allocation of proceeds between debt and equity for units of convertible promissory notes and restricted common shares that were sold to investors in late 2006 and early 2007. The discounted stock price was also used to determine if there was a beneficial conversion related to the convertible promissory notes. The same methodology was used in late 2007 when the Company issued convertible promissory notes along with Common Stock warrants. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact of the restatement.

Revenues

Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 consist of services revenues representing managed and professional services fees for maintenance and support services. While there is no guarantee of future revenues, they are expected to include sales and licenses of our ANTs Compatibility Server (“ACS”) product and related technology, managed services revenue related to existing and new contracts and professional services revenue from pre and post-sales consulting related to ACS and other database consolidation technologies we may develop.

Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are from ANTs Data Server (“ADS”) license fees, recognition of deferred maintenance and support of ADS, royalties from third parties that resell ADS, professional services fees on ADS installations, and the sale of ADS technology.

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized approximately $1.4 million in revenue, a decrease of approximately $4.1 million versus the three months ended June 30, 2008. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized $2.8 million in revenue, a decrease of approximately $2.7 million versus the six months ended June 30, 2008. These decreases were primarily due to sale of ADS technology in 2008. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, two customers accounted for 90% (Customer A was 65% and Customer D was 25%) and 88% (Customer A 61% and Customer D was 27%), respectively, of total revenues. The remaining revenues are a result of ongoing contracts with various other customers.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2009 were approximately $1.2 million, an increase of approximately $0.3 million versus the three months ended June 30, 2008. Cost of revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2009 were approximately $2.5 million, an increase of approximately $1.5 million versus the six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. Cost of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 consists of personnel costs to provide managed and professional services. Cost of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 consisted primarily of amortization of a warrant from a major customer and capitalized costs related to ADS technology.

Total sales and marketing expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by approximately $165,000, a 25% decrease, due primarily to the following:

·  
Employee compensation and benefits increased by 14% primarily due to the acquisition of Inventa and the resulting increase in head-count.
·  
Stock-based compensation decreased 77% due to the issuance of fully-vested and expensed stock options granted to our CEO in the second quarter of 2008. Compensation to our CEO is recorded 50% to sales and marketing and 50% to general and administrative. The stock option was a one-time grant and we do not anticipate it will recur in the future.
·  
Consulting fees decreased 53% due to efficiencies achieved in go-to-market strategy. By selling through partners rather than selling directly to end-users, we eliminated end-user marketing and lead-generation programs.
·  
Travel and entertainment decreased 62% as we decreased travel activities for our sales and marketing staff.
·  
Corporate allocations increased 150% due to increased overall activities of our CEO in sales and marketing.
·  
Amortization of customer relationships resulted from the acquisition of Inventa in the prior year.

Total sales and marketing expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased by approximately $25,000, a 3% increase, due primarily to the following:

·  
Employee compensation and benefits increased by 54% primarily due to the acquisition of Inventa and the resulting increase in head-count.
·  
Stock-based compensation decreased approximately 71% primarily due the repricing of certain stock options and warrants to the market value of our Common Stock as of March 26 and March 31, 2008 and the issuance of a fully-vested and expensed stock option grant to our CEO during the second quarter of 2008. Compensation expense related to our CEO is recorded 50% to sales and marketing and 50% to general and administrative. The stock option grant was a one-time grant and we do not anticipate it will recur in the future.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, cash provided by financing activities resulted from the following:

·  
$7.2 million in proceeds, net of commissions, for the sale of 12.7 million shares of our Common Stock at a price of $0.60 per share.

·  
$32,000 received as proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Capital Resources and Going Concern

We anticipate that current cash resources will be sufficient for us to execute our business plan into the third quarter of 2009. If further financing is not obtained we will not be able to continue to operate as a going concern. We believe that securing additional sources of financing to enable us to continue the development and commercialization of our proprietary technologies will be difficult and there is no assurance of our ability to secure such financing. A failure to obtain additional financing could prevent us from making expenditures that are needed to pay current obligations, allow us to hire additional development personnel and continue development of our product and technology. At current cash levels, management believes it has sufficient funds to operate through the third quarter of 2009. Should additional financing not be obtained, the Company will not be able to execute its business plan and the recoverability of its intangible assets may become impaired. If we raise additional financing by selling equity or convertible debt securities, the relative equity ownership of our existing investors could be diluted or the new investors could obtain terms more favorable than previous investors. If we raise additional funds through debt financing, we could incur significant borrowing costs and be subject to adverse consequences in the event of a default. We are actively engaged in the process of seeking additional capital through private placements of equity or debt.

Interest Rates

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the increase or decrease in the amount of interest income we earn on our investment portfolio. Our investment portfolio consists of liquid investments that have maturities of three months or less. Interest rates on our Convertible Promissory Notes and long-term debt are generally fixed. Our risk associated with fluctuating interest income is limited to investments in interest rate sensitive financial instruments. Under our current policy, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage this exposure to interest rate changes. We seek to ensure the safety and preservation of our invested principal by limiting default risk, market risk, and reinvestment risk. We mitigate default risk by investing in short-term investment grade securities.


(a)           Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Based on management’s evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)           Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment.  Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, migrating processes, or acquisition of subsidiaries.  As a result of the material weaknesses listed in the 2008 10-K, management has continued using the services of the third party contract consulting company.  Management is also in the process of analyzing all existing controls to ensure all major, non-routine transactions are appropriately recorded.

On July 10, 2008, Sybase, Inc. (“Sybase”), an enterprise software and services company, filed a complaint for common law unfair business practices, and tortuous interference with contractual relations, among other things, in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Alameda.  Sybase is seeking an injunction, and damages, among other legal and equitable relief.  We believe that this lawsuit is without merit and intend to continue vigorously defending ourselves.

On August 22, 2008, a former ANTs employee filed a putative class action complaint for all current and former software engineers, for failure to pay overtime wages, and failure to provide meal breaks, among other things, in Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo.  The former employee is seeking an injunction, damages, attorneys’ fees, and penalties.  We believe that this lawsuit is without merit and intend to continue vigorously defending ourselves.

On October 14, 2008, Bayside Plaza (“Bayside”), a partnership, filed a complaint for breach of contract in Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo.  Bayside was seeking approximately $50,000 in rent, late fees and operating expenses per month from October 2008. The Company settled the complaint by paying $50,000 in May 2009 and agreeing to pay $25,000 in each of August 2009, November 2009 and February 2010. The Company accrued the $75,000 settlement amount in accounts payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2009. The Company recognized a gain on the settlement of approximately $279,000 as an offset to rent expense, which is included in General and Administrative Expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations at June 30, 2009.


Other than the following there has been no material changes during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

We might not collect our receivables

Due to the ongoing worldwide economic crisis, weakness in the credit markets, significant liquidity problems in the financial services industry and related factors, we might face increased problems in collecting our accounts, notes, and other obligations receivable. Since we rely on those receivables to finance our ongoing business operations, failure to collect our receivables might cause our business and operations to be severely and materially adversely affected.


During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, we received $339,000 from accredited investors for the sale of 847,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $0.40 per share. We also received $115,000 from accredited investors for the purchase of 1% Convertible Promissory Notes that were immediately converted into 287,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.40 per share. We paid $13,356 by issuing 23,850 shares of our Common Stock valued at $0.56 per share to a placement agent. We issued 1,770,833 shares of Common Stock for the conversion of Convertible Promissory Notes with a total principal amount of $750,000. We issued 200,000 shares of Common Stock to a consultant for investor relations services. The sales of these securities were made in reliance upon Rule 506 and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.  These securities (and the securities issued in the other private placements discussed herein) have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
