PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

The Company

ANTs software inc. (“ANTs” or “we”) developed a software solution, the ANTs Compatibility Server (“ACS”), to allow customers to move software applications from one database product to another without time consuming and costly database migrations and application rewrites. ACS translates the languages used by database products so that software applications written for one database product will work with another. ACS allows customers to replace the database product without replacing the software application. ANTs first ACS product translates Sybase to Oracle. ANTs is in the process of developing additional ACS products that will translate additional database languages. ANTs also has a services division that manages and optimizes applications and databases for large enterprises and provides installation and support services for the ACS.

Corporate History

ANTs software inc. is a Delaware corporation headquartered in San Francisco, California. Our shares are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the stock symbol ANTS. We are the successor to Sullivan Computer Corporation, a Delaware corporation incorporated in January 1979, which, in 1986 changed its name to CHoPP Computer Corporation. In 1997, we reincorporated from Delaware to Nevada, and in February 1999 changed our name to ANTs software.com. In July 2000, we merged with Intellectual Properties and Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary with no significant assets. In December 2000, we reincorporated from Nevada to Delaware and changed our name from ANTs software.com to ANTs software inc.

In May 2008, ANTs acquired Inventa Technologies Inc. (“Inventa”) of Mt. Laurel, New Jersey. Inventa is a wholly-owned subsidiary that manages and optimizes applications and databases for large enterprises. Inventa is the services division of ANTs, providing installation and support services for the ANTs Compatibility Server.

Technology and Intellectual Property

Beginning in 2000, we focused on development of the ANTs Data Server (“ADS”) and core high-performance database technologies. In May 2008, we sold those high-performance technologies and the intellectual property related to them, retaining a license to use those technologies in the ANTs Compatibility Server (“ACS”). The sale of the ADS technology and related licensing agreements were recorded as revenue in the 2008 financial statements for a total of $4.3 million or approximately 52% of that year’s revenue. In 2007, we began developing ACS and launched the first commercial version in April 2008. We have developed proprietary technologies related to ACS which we regard as trade secrets and we are pursuing patent protection on a number of these technologies. Inventa has also developed proprietary technologies used in the monitoring and management of applications and databases. We regard these technologies as trade secrets.

The ANTs Compatibility Server ™

Applications written to work with one database product are typically incompatible with other database products due to proprietary extensions developed and popularized by the database vendors. This has the effect of locking customers into one database vendor because it would generally be cost-prohibitive and too time-consuming to migrate an application from one database to another. ACS translates these proprietary extensions from one database product to another and allows customers to migrate applications from one database product to another more easily and at less cost.

Migrating applications is intended to be a three-step process when using ACS:

1. Move the data - the large database vendors all have full-featured tools that allow customers to move data from other products to theirs.

2. Install ACS - once the data is migrated, ACS is installed and connected to the application and the new database.

3. Test and deploy - the application is first tested to ensure that it functions properly with the new database, and then the customer goes "live" with the application.

We have developed the underlying technologies related to ACS and we have successfully installed the first version of ACS for Wyndham Hotel’s call center application. In April 2008, we announced the launch of the first version of ACS as a generally available commercial product. The first version of ACS allows applications currently running on Sybase's database product to run on Oracle's database product. In the future, we expect to build versions of ACS that will enable applications to be migrated from and to numerous other database products.

Professional Services

Established in 1993, Inventa, our IT managed services and professional services division (together, "Professional Services"), provides pre- and post-sales services related to the ACS and application migration, application and database architecting, monitoring and management. Inventa provides the following services:

ACS Services. This service assists customers in establishing a database consolidation strategy, action plan for migrating applications among databases, installation, deployment and post-deployment monitoring and tuning.

Monitoring Infrastructure Management. This service provides management of monitoring infrastructure including: architecture planning, agent deployment and support, and agent configuration with threshold management. The core infrastructure for this service can either be hosted and managed by us or deployed directly within a customer's environment and individual events / alarms transitioned back to customer employees.

Monitoring and Event Management. This service provides a fully functional 24x7x365 Network Operations Center ("NOC") responsible for isolating critical events, opening trouble tickets, and escalating the event's visibility within the customer's organization. This service can be hosted entirely within our NOC or portions can be integrated with or hosted directly within the customer's environment.

Visualization and Trending. Our ESM Integrator(TM) portal captures, centralizes and integrates performance metrics collected by the monitoring infrastructure deployed as a component of our other services or layered upon existing data sources residing within the customer's environment. Sources of data are not limited to components monitored by our service; we can integrate virtually any business metrics, or other third party data for enterprise-wide reporting which is platform independent.

Performance Management. The most popular way organizations attempt to solve their performance issues is with faster, more powerful hardware. While this generally produces some positive results, the benefit is very costly in both hardware and tiered software. Additionally, performance is typically addressed only when business or system reliability is impacted thereby creating additional pressure to the already constrained customer staff to fix the issue. Our Performance Management Service is pro-active and can help maximize the customer's existing resources in a cost-effective and manageable way.

Capacity Planning. This service provides organizations with the ability to anticipate the effects of growth and plan for that growth. Customers are able to map out a strategy to accommodate spikes in transaction volumes and overall growth while maintaining response time and uptime.

Code Quality Management. Performance quality, reliability, and capacity are results of how well applications are designed and implemented. Our Code Quality Management service uses our time-tested code analysis tools to assist customers in tracking overall code quality and improvements as new application versions are released.

We provide Professional Services to customers in the banking, insurance, gaming, automotive and high-technology industries. We have extensive experience in architecting enterprise application and database deployments, upgrades and migrations and in installing, configuring, deploying and maintaining database products from major vendors such as IBM, Oracle, Microsoft and Sybase. We have developed proprietary software that enables us to remotely monitor, diagnose and maintain customer applications and databases, saving customers the cost of having to maintain in-house IT resources needed to deliver these services. We typically sign annual and multi-year contracts and the majority of our customers renew.

5

We deliver our services through a remote delivery model from our Mount Laurel, New Jersey office which contains a network operations center. The network operation center provides customers with remote assessment, diagnostic and tuning capabilities through secure remote connection 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We integrate our Professional Services capabilities tightly into the pre and post-sales process, enabling us to:

·   Accurately assess the customer's operating environment;

·   Propose the most efficient database consolidation and application migration solution;

·   Efficiently deploy ACS and assist the customer in testing before "going live"; and

·   Post-deployment, provide application monitoring, maintenance and service past deployment

Sales and Marketing

The Market

According to IDC Research, the market for database products was $20 billion in 2008. Oracle, Microsoft and IBM control approximately 83% of this market. According to the numerous Chief Technology Officers, database architects and application developers at the target Global 2000 enterprises with whom we have spoken, database infrastructure costs have become one of the most expensive line items in the IT budget. These Global 2000 enterprises typically have annual database "spends" in excess of tens and, in some cases, hundreds of millions of dollars and their database budgets are growing annually. The migration cost from one database to another, even to a low-cost open-source database, is extensive due to lack of compatibility between the products' proprietary extensions. There is significant interest, confirmed by our discussions with industry analysts and user groups, for a product that can provide the capability to migrate an application from one database to another.

According to IDC Research, the markets in which our Professional Services group operates, IT services and application management, was projected at $122 billion in 2007 with IBM Global Services, HP/EDS and Accenture being among the largest vendors in those markets. We have a unique combination of experience, skills and proprietary software that allow us to address a segment of the IT services market centered on database and application monitoring, maintenance and services. In addition to this established market, we anticipate that our Professional Services group will be the first provider of migration and consulting services resulting from pre- and post-sales of our ACS products. Customers will look to us as the experts in database consolidation to provide a full range of services related to ACS installation, deployment and use. To the extent that this becomes a new "market" for professional services, we are in a position to capitalize on it.

Strategy

Our go-to-market strategy adapts with changes in the competitive structure of the database market. The refinement of our strategy is a continuous and iterative process, reflecting our goal of providing a cost-effective solution across a wide variety of applications. Our strategy has included:

·   Developing partnerships with IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, Sybase and others to bring our products to market;

·   Focusing on large enterprise customers who can realize significant savings by migrating applications among leading database products;

·   Selling or licensing our products directly;

·   Selling our products and technologies through partners; and

·   Developing custom versions of our products for partners and selling or licensing that technology to them.

ACS can provide a solution for enterprises to address the problems of vendor lock-in and cost escalation by enabling them to migrate applications among database products. ACS can provide a potentially significant competitive advantage for database vendors such as Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, Sybase and others because they would have the ability to cost-effectively migrate applications from their competitors' products to their own.

If we are successful in our go-to-market strategy, we intend to generate revenue through a range of activities which may include: sales of developed technology, licenses, royalties, custom development and professional services. If one or more of the large database vendors resells our products, we would expect to share in that license and maintenance revenue. Each sale of our products or related technology will require installation, testing, tuning and other professional services. We intend to generate revenue by providing those services.

We generated significant revenues totaling $4.3 million, or 52% of 2008 revenues, related to the license and sale of our ADS technologies during the year-ended December 31, 2008. We expect to generate revenues from existing and new contracts with our Professional Services customers, and if successful, we expect to generate additional revenues related to ACS.

In August 2009, the Company announced that negotiations had been completed regarding the supply of database migration technology to a Global IT vendor. An Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) agreement had been completed and signed by both parties. Confidentiality provisions of the agreement preclude the naming of the vendor until approved by both parties. The company anticipates substantial business and future revenue to be generated from this agreement. According to the agreement, ANTs is responsible for technology development specifically tailored to the Global IT vendor needs. The Global IT vendor will assume responsibility for marketing, sales and support of the technology on a worldwide basis, while ANTs will be the preferred service provider for migration projects.

Competition

We have not identified a direct competitor for our ACS database migration products. Other database vendors encourage migration from competitive products through use of their proprietary migration tools. These tools often require substantial investment to rewrite applications. Potential customers with whom we have spoken are not receptive to migrating applications due to the expense and risk of such rewrites. While database vendors do not offer a directly competitive product, we fully expect database vendors to offer incentives for customers to keep applications deployed on their database products.

Competitors in the Professional Services market are large and well-established, with vendors such as IBM Global Services, Accenture and HP/EDS offering a wide range of services. We have maintained long-term relationships with our customers and have been successful in renewing contracts and in signing multi-year contracts.

Current Operations

Our operations consist of:

(i) Developing Database Migration Technologies and the ACS - we develop and market ACS, a faster, cost-effective way to consolidate databases, allowing customers to efficiently use IT resources and drive down operating costs. ANTs first ACS product translates Sybase to Oracle. ANTs is in the process of developing additional ACS products that will translate additional database languages.

(ii) Professional Services - we have extensive experience in architecting enterprise application and database deployments, upgrades and migrations and in installing, configuring, deploying and maintaining database products from major vendors such as IBM, Oracle, Microsoft and Sybase. We provide application migration services, application and database managed services and consulting services.

Our headquarters are located in San Francisco, California and we have offices in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey and Alpharetta, Georgia. We have financed operations through private offerings to accredited investors to whom we have sold common stock and issued convertible promissory notes and warrants. We expect to continue to raise capital for operations through such private offerings until we generate positive cash flows from operations. We believe we have sufficient funds to cover operations into the fourth quarter of 2010 at our expected expenditure rate. We expect that our focus over the next year will be on the continued development, marketing and sales of ACS and on the growth of our Professional Services offerings.

Employees

As of December 31, 2009, we had 52 full-time employees, all based in the United States. We have not experienced work stoppages, are not subject to any collective bargaining agreement and believe that our relationship with our employees is good.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to other information in this Form 10-K, the following risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating our business since it operates in a highly changing and complex business environment that involves numerous risks, some of which are beyond our control. The following discussion highlights some of these risk factors, any one of which may have a significant adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. As a result of the risk factors set forth below and elsewhere in this 10-K, and the risks discussed in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings, actual results could differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements.

We face significant risks, and the risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not know of or that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed and the trading price of our common stock could decline.

Economic Risks

The fragile state of the worldwide economy could impact the company in numerous ways. The effects of the  ongoing worldwide economic crisis has caused disruptions and extreme volatility in global financial markets, increased rates of default and bankruptcy, has impacted levels of consumer spending, and may impact our business, operating results, or financial condition. The ongoing worldwide economic crisis, weakness in the credit markets and significant liquidity problems for the financial services industry may also impact our financial condition in a number of ways.   We might face increased problems in collecting our trade receivables, 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.  Also, we may have difficulties in securing additional financing.

Business Risks

We have a history of losses and a large accumulated deficit and we may not be able to achieve profitability in the future.

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 we incurred net losses of $23,261,154 and $11,628,584, respectively. Our accumulated deficit totals $113,239,302 at December 31, 2009. There can be no assurance that we will be profitable in the future. If we are not profitable and cannot obtain sufficient capital, we may have to cease our operations.

We may be unable to successfully execute any of our identified business opportunities that we determine to pursue.

We currently have a limited corporate infrastructure. In order to pursue business opportunities, we will need to continue to build our infrastructure and operational capabilities. Our ability to do any of these successfully could be affected by any one or more of the following factors:

·   Our ability to raise substantial additional capital to fund the implementation of our business plan;

·   Our ability to execute our business strategy;

·   The ability of our current or potential future products and services to achieve market acceptance;

·   Our ability to manage the expansion of our operations and any acquisitions that we may make, which could result in increased costs, high employee turnover or damage to customer relationships;

·   Our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;

·   Our ability to manage our third party relationships effectively; and

·   Our ability to accurately predict and respond to rapid technological changes in our industry and the evolving demands of the markets we serve.

Our failure to adequately address any one or more of the above factors could have a significant adverse effect on our ability to implement our business plan and our ability to pursue other opportunities that arise.

9

We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not able to grow effectively.

Our success depends in large part upon the abilities and continued service of our executive officers, including Joseph Kozak, our Chief Executive Officer, and David Buckel, our recently hired Chief Financial Officer, and other key employees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain the services of such officers and employees. Our failure to retain the services of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on us. In order to support our projected growth, we will be required to effectively recruit, hire, train and retain additional qualified management personnel. Our inability to attract and retain the necessary personnel could have a material adverse affect on us.

We depend on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue.

During 2009 our three largest customers accounted for approximately 97% of our revenue. Revenue from one of these customers was $3.9 million, or 66% of total revenues. Revenues from the second and third customers were $1.4 million, or 25% of total revenues, and $369,000 or 6% of total revenues, respectively. A decrease in revenue from any of our largest customers for any reason, including a decrease in pricing or activity, or a decision to either utilize another vendor or to no longer use some or all of the products and services we provide, could have a material adverse affect on our revenue.

We rely upon reselling partners and independent software vendors for product sales.

A significant portion of our sales has been, and we believe will continue to be, made through reselling partners and independent software vendors (together "Partners"). As a result, our success may depend on the continued sales efforts of Partners, and identifying and entering into agreements with additional Partners. The use of Partners involves certain risks, including risks that they will not effectively sell or support our products, that they will be unable to satisfy their financial obligations with us, and that they will cease operations. Any reduction, delay or loss of orders from Partners may harm our results. There can be no assurance that we will identify or engage qualified Partners in a timely manner, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, our competitive position would be adversely affected.

We rely on patent protection, as well as trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements with our employees and others to protect our intellectual property. Despite our precautions, unauthorized third parties may copy our products and services or reverse engineer or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. We have filed one patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for our ACS product and intend to file more. No patents have been granted for our ACS product. One trademark has been granted. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Our means of protecting our proprietary rights may not be adequate and third parties may infringe or misappropriate our patents, copyrights, trademarks and similar proprietary rights. If we fail to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, our business, financial condition and results of operations would suffer. We believe that we do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of any third party, and no third party has asserted an infringement claim against us. It is possible, however, that such a claim might be asserted successfully against us in the future. We may be forced to suspend our operations to pay significant amounts to defend our rights, and a substantial amount of the attention of our management may be diverted from our ongoing business, all of which would materially adversely affect our business.

If we experience rapid growth, we will need to manage such growth well.

We may experience substantial growth in the size of our staff and the scope of our operations, resulting in increased responsibilities for management. To manage this possible growth effectively, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management information systems, will possibly need to create departments that do not now exist, and hire, train, motivate and manage a growing number of staff. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively achieve or manage any future growth, and our failure to do so could delay product development cycles and market penetration or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We could face information and product liability risks and may not have adequate insurance.

Our products may be used to manage data from critical business applications. We may become the subject of litigation alleging that our products were ineffective or disruptive in their treatment of data, or in the compilation, processing or manipulation of critical business information. Thus, we may become the target of lawsuits from injured or disgruntled businesses or other users. We carry product and information liability and errors and omissions insurance, but in the event that we are required to defend more than a few such actions, or in the event our products are found liable in connection with such an action, our business and operations may be severely and materially adversely affected.

We have indemnified our officers and directors.

10

We have indemnified our Officers and Directors against possible monetary liability to the maximum extent permitted under Delaware law.

Market acceptance of our products and services is not guaranteed and our business model is evolving.

We are at an early stage of development and our revenue will depend upon market acceptance and utilization of our products and services, including ACS which is now under development. Our products are under constant development and are still maturing. Customers may be reluctant to purchase products from us because they may be concerned about our financial viability and our ability to provide a full range of support services. Given these risks, customers may only be willing to purchase our products through partners who are not faced with similar challenges. We may have difficulty finding partners to resell our products. Also, due to current economic conditions, including the current recession, some potential customers may have tightened budgets for evaluating new products and technologies and the evaluation cycles may be much longer than in the past. There can be no assurance that our product and technology development or support efforts will result in new products and services, or that they will be successfully introduced.

Technology Risks

If we deliver products with defects, our credibility will be harmed and the sales and market acceptance of our products will decrease.

Our product and services are complex and have at times contained errors, defects and bugs. If we deliver products with errors, defects or bugs, our credibility and the market acceptance and sales of our products would be harmed. Further, if our products contain errors, defects or bugs, we may be required to expend significant capital and resources to alleviate such problems. We may agree to indemnify our customers in some circumstances against liability arising from defects in our products. Defects could also lead to product liability as a result of product liability lawsuits against us or against our customers. We carry product and information liability and errors and omissions insurance, but in the event that we are required to defend more than a few such actions, or in the event that we are found liable in connection with such an action, our business and operations may be severely and materially adversely affected.

Our ANTs Compatibility Server (ACS) product is at an early stage and a business model is not well established.

We began developing the ANTs Compatibility Server in 2007 and have not yet begun selling the product. We anticipate that we will sell ACS through partners, including the aforementioned large Global IT vendor through the executed OEM agreement. We have not yet established pricing for ACS and have only preliminary estimates as to the possible revenues and expenses associated with sales, support and delivery. It is possible that we will not generate enough revenue to offset the expenses and that the ACS line of business will not be profitable.

We will need to continue our product development efforts.

We believe that the market for our products will be characterized by increasing technical sophistication. We also believe that our eventual success will depend on our ability to continue to provide increased and specialized technical expertise. There is no assurance that we will not fall technologically behind competitors with greater resources. Although we believe that we enjoy a lead in our product development, and believe that our patent application for the ACS and trade secrets provide some protection, we will likely need significant additional capital in order to maintain that lead over competitors who have more resources.

We face rapid technological change.

The market for our products and services is characterized by rapidly changing technologies, extensive research and the introduction of new products and services. We believe that our future success will depend in part upon our ability to continue to develop and enhance ACS and to develop, manufacture and market new products and services. As a result, we expect to continue to make a significant investment in engineering and research and development. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop and introduce new products and services or enhance our initial products in a timely manner to satisfy customer needs, achieve market acceptance or address technological changes in our target markets. Failure to develop products and services and introduce them successfully and in a timely manner could adversely affect our competitive position, financial condition and results of operations.

Financing Risks

A failure to obtain financing could prevent us from executing our business plan or operate as a going concern.

We anticipate that current cash resources will be sufficient for us to execute our business plan into the fourth quarter of 2010. 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 personnel and continue development of our product and technology. 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 have incurred indebtedness.

We have incurred debt and may incur substantial additional debt in the future. A significant portion of our future cash flow from operating activities may be dedicated to the payment of interest and the repayment of principal on our indebtedness. There is no guarantee that we will be able to meet our debt service obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or obtain funds for required payments, or if we fail to comply with our debt obligations, we will be in default. In addition, we may not be able to refinance our debt on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Our indebtedness could limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions or other purposes in the future, as needed; to plan for, or react to, changes in technology and in our business and competition; and to react in the event of another economic downturn.

Shareholder Risk

There is a limited market for our common stock.

Our common stock is not listed on any exchange and trades in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market. As such, the market for our common stock is limited and is not regulated by the rules and regulations of any exchange. Further, the price of our common stock and its volume in the OTC market may be subject to wide fluctuations. Our stock price could decline regardless of our actual operating performance, and stockholders could lose all or a substantial part of their investment as a result of industry or market-based fluctuations. Our stock trades relatively thinly. If a more active public market for our stock is not sustained, it may be difficult for stockholders to sell shares of our common stock. Because we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they are able to sell them. The market price of our common stock will likely fluctuate in response to a number of factors, including but not limited to, the following:

·   sales, sales cycle and market acceptance or rejection of our products;

·   our ability to sign Partners who are successful in selling our products;

·   economic conditions within the database industry;

·   our failure to develop and commercialize the ACS;

·   the timing of announcements by us or our competitors of significant products, contracts or acquisitions or publicity regarding actual or potential results or performance thereof; and

·   domestic and international economic, business and political conditions.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations of the SEC require annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to adequately maintain compliance with, or maintain the adequacy of, our internal control over financial reporting, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations of the SEC. If we cannot favorably assess our internal controls over financial reporting, investor confidence in the reliability of our financial reports may be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws that relate to future events or future financial performance. When used in this report, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "predicts," "expects," "estimates," "intends," "will," "continue," "may," "potential," "should" and similar expressions. These statements are only expressions of expectations. Our actual results could, and likely will, differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth above and elsewhere in this report and including factors unanticipated by us and not included herein. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these statements. We assume no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report or to conform these statements to actual results. Accordingly, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements.

Limitation on ability for control through proxy contest.

Our Bylaws provide for a Board of Directors to be elected in three classes. This classified Board may make it more difficult for a potential acquirer to gain control of us by using a proxy contest, since the acquirer would only be able to elect approximately one-third of the directors at each shareholders' meeting held for that purpose.

Our securities may be de-listed from the OTC Bulletin Board if we do not meet continued listing requirements.

If we do not meet the continued listing requirements of the OTC Bulletin Board ("OTC") and our securities are de-listed by the OTC, trading of our securities would likely be halted. In such case, the market would be negatively affected and we could face difficulty raising capital necessary for our continued operations.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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. As of the date of the settlement in May 2009, the Company had accrued rent of approximately $404,000. 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 December 31, 2009.

On September 9, 2009, Ken Ruotolo, a former employee and officer of the Company, filed a complaint for breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing and declaratory relief, in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Francisco. Mr. Ruotolo is seeking damages, attorneys’ fees and declaratory relief. We believe that this lawsuit is without merit and intend to continue vigorously defending ourselves. Mr. Ruotolo’s father, Francis K. Ruotolo, is a Director of the Company.

On November 20, 2009 the Company was notified by email that a complaint for breach of contract and fraud in the inducement had been filed against it in United States Federal Court for the District of New Jersey by Robert T. Healy. This complaint was voluntarily dismissed by Mr. Healey on January 14, 2010.

On January 14, 2010, three lawsuits were filed against the Company by Robert T. Healey.  The first of these lawsuits, against the Company, demands inspection of the Company’s books and records.  The second lawsuit, against the Company, and its 8 directors (including former director Tom Holt), is alleged to be brought by Mr. Healey “both individually and derivatively,” therein alleging various wrongdoing by the Company and its directors.  The third lawsuit, against the Company and its 8 directors (including former director Tom Holt), is brought by Mr. Healey for a declaration directing the Company to nominate Mr. Healey and Rick Cerwonka (the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and the President of the Company’s subsidiary, Inventa Technologies, Inc.) for election to the Company’s Board of Directors.  The Company is still evaluating all three of these lawsuits.  A trial on declaratory issues in the third lawsuit is set for early June 2010.

This financial review presents the Company’s operating results for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2009, and the Company’s financial condition at December 31, 2009. Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

The results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 are summarized in the table below.

	2009			% Change			2008

Revenues

The Company’s revenues reflect:

·   Service revenues representing managed and profession service fees for database and network maintenance and support services and;

·   License fees, royalty fees, maintenance, support and sales of the Company’s ANTs Data Server (“ADS”) technology.

Revenues for 2009 were almost exclusively made up from service activities and totaled $5.8 million, less than 2008 revenues by $2.4 million.  Total revenues for 2008 reflected less service revenues but the year did benefit from a substantial sale of ADS technology and licensing agreements in the amount of $4.3 million.   This shortfall in 2009 was due to the absence of sales of ADS technology in contrast to 2008 with some offset due to increased 2009 service revenues as the 2008 service revenues included only seven months activity related to the Inventa acquisition in May 2008.  For the year ended December 31, 2009 the top three customers accounted for 97% of total revenues, (Company A, 66%, Company B, 25% and Company C, 6%).  This compared to the top three customers in 2008 contributing 92% of revenues.

Conditional on the Company’s technology developments being successful, the presence of customer demand and the Company having a competitive advantage, future revenues may include sales and licenses of our ANTs Compatibility Server (“ACS”) product and 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. Sales of the Company’s first ACS product, which translates from Sybase to Oracle, have been limited due to the structure of the sales arrangement and go-to-market strategy. As such, the Company has structured the go-to-market strategy for the second ACS product differently via the use of an OEM agreement, as more fully discussed in Item 1, Business. The Company is currently in the process of developing the second ACS product for a planned announcement and release in mid-2010. The Company intends to develop additional ACS products based on market demand and the availability of resources for development.

17

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was approximately $5.0 million and $3.2 million for 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increased cost of revenue in 2009 was due to the change in mix of revenue in 2009 compared to 2008.  2009 revenues were primarily the result of managed and professional services with related costs being that of personnel supporting these services.  Cost of revenues in 2008 consisted of personnel costs to provide managed and professional services, separation costs for personnel related to the license and sale of ADS technology, software development costs, and third-party licenses related to the sale and license of ADS. The majority of the 2008 revenues related to the ADS technology products and related fees which were proportionately less compared to the remaining service revenues.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows (in thousands):

	2009		% of Total			% Change			2008		% of Total
Sales and marketing	$	1,734		19	%		-20	%	$	2,155		16	%
Research and development		2,408		26	%		-64	%		6,652		49	%
General and administrative		5,016		55	%		7	%		4,700		35	%
Total operating expenses	$	9,158		100	%		-32	%	$	13,507		100	%

The Company’s primary operating expenses are salaries, benefits and consulting fees related to developing and marketing ACS, marketing and selling managed and professional services and for the year of 2009 and for 2008, the maintenance and support of ADS. The development of ADS was completed in 2005 and sales and support of that product began during that year.  The ADS technology was sold during 2008. The Company began development of ACS in early 2007.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of employee salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation, professional fees for marketing and sales services, and corporate overhead allocations.

2009 versus 2008

Total sales and marketing expense for 2009 was $1.7 million compared to $2.2 million in 2008, a decrease of approximately $420,000 or 20%, due primarily to the following:

·   2009 salaries and benefits for our sales and marketing staff increased by approximately $200,000 or 22% compared to 2008.  The increase in 2009 was due to the acquisition of Inventa in May 2008 and the resulting presence of personnel for the full twelve months of 2009 compared to seven months in 2008.  Sales consulting fees decreased by approximately $203,000 or 66% due to efficiencies achieved in go-to-market strategy in selling through partners rather than selling directly to end-users, resulting in the elimination of end-user marketing and lead-generation programs.

·   Stock based compensation costs decreased in 2009 by approximately $191,000 due to the repricing of certain stock options and warrants to the market value of our Common Stock as of March 26, 2008 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 not anticipated to reoccur in the future.

·   Travel and entertainment and corporate event costs decreased in 2009 by approximately $124,000 or 73% due to decreased travel activities for our sales and marketing staff.

18

Research and Development

Research and development expense consists primarily of employee compensation and benefits, contractor fees to research and developmentservice providers, stock-based compensation and equipment and computer supplies.

2009 versus 2008

Total research and development expense for 2009 was $2.4 million compared to $6.7 million in 2008, a decrease of approximately $4.3 million or 64%, due primarily to the following:

·   Employee compensation and benefits decreased by approximately $1.9 million or 64% in 2009 due to headcount reductions as compared to the prior year. The headcount was reduced due to the completion of the development of the first generation ACS product.

·   2009 Stock-based compensation decreased by approximately $783,000 or 81% due to headcount reductions over the prior year as explained earlier.

·   Contractor fees decreased by approximately $1.3 million or 67% in 2009 due to the reduction in the use of contract research and development services on the ACS product and the elimination of such services for the ADS product.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consists primarily of employee salaries and benefits, professional fees (legal, accounting, and investor relations), facilities expenses, and corporate insurance.

2009 versus 2008

Total general and administrative expense for 2009 was $5.0 million compared to $4.7 million in 2008, an increase of approximately $320,000 million or 7%, due primarily to the following:

·   Stock-based compensation decreased by approximately $900,000 or 64% primarily due the repricing of certain stock options and warrants to the market value of our Common Stock as of March 26, 2008 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. This was a one-time grant and we do not anticipate it will recur in the future.

·   Facilities, director fees, insurance and other expense decreased by approximately $480,000 or 48% primarily due to a favorable settlement on the Bayview Plaza lease, the former corporate headquarters, totaling approximately $279,000.

·   Professional fees increased by approximately $1.3 million or 113% primarily due to expenses relating to the restatement of the 2008 financial statements and an increase in investor relations activities.

·   Allocations of overhead costs from general and administration to other departments decreased by approximately $260,000 or 60%. Allocations of corporate overhead from general and administrative costs to the other functional departments were based on headcount. These allocations decreased as the number of personnel in other functional departments decreased.

19

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other (expense) income primarily consists of interest expense, loss on the conversion of promissory notes, loss on the extinguishment of promissory notes and to a lesser extent, income earned on our cash and cash equivalents. The components of other income (expense) for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, net, are presented in the table below, (in thousands):

	2009			% Change			2008
Other (expense) income:
Interest expense, convertible notes payable	$	(2,715	)		26	%	$	(3,675	)
Loss on extinguishment of convertible promissory notes payable		(12,279	)		-24,458	%		(50	)
Interest income		2			-98	%		83
Other		(3	)		-95	%		(58	)
	$	(14,995	)		305	%	$	(3,700	)

2009 versus 2008

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, other (expense) income, a net expense for the period, increased by approximately $11.3 million, or 305%, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2008.  The following items significantly impacted other (expense) income between the periods:

·   Interest expense decreased by approximately $960,000 or 26%, for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008 due to a decrease in the amount of amortization from the discounts on the convertible promissory notes as a majority of the notes were converted into Series A Preferred Stock during the third quarter of 2009.

·   Loss on the extinguishment of convertible promissory notes increased by approximately $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008 due to the loss on extinguishment of certain Convertible Promissory Notes.

·   Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by approximately 98%, due to lower invested cash balances and interest rates.

Income Tax Benefit

In November 2008, the Company was approved by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (the "NJEDA") to participate in the 2008 NJEDA Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program.  This program enables approved, unprofitable technology companies based in the State of New Jersey to sell their unused net operating loss carryovers and unused research and development tax credits to unaffiliated, profitable corporate taxpayers in the State of New Jersey for at least 75% of the value of the tax benefits.  In November 2008, the Company received $527,180 of net proceeds ($563,959 gross proceeds less $36,779 of expenses incurred) from a third party related to the sale of approximately $7,297,000 of unused net operating loss carryovers for the State of New Jersey.  During December 2009 the Company was approved to sell additional net operating losses and research and development credits.  In January 2010, the Company received $80,402 ($93,718 gross proceeds less $13,316 of expenses incurred) from two third parties related to the sale of approximately $255,000 of unused net operating loss carryovers and approximately $71,000 of research and development tax credits for the State of New Jersey.

In 2009, cash used in operating activities totaled $3.8 million, a decrease of approximately $2.7 million from 2008. This is a result of the headcount reduction in 2009 as compared to 2008 as well as the reduction in interest payments due to the conversion of debt into equity in 2009 and the payment of interest with stock in 2009 as compared to cash interest payments made in 2008 on the convertible promissory notes.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

In 2009, cash used in investing activities totaled approximately $44,000, a decrease of approximately $3.1 million compared to the same period in 2008, due to the acquisition of Inventa in 2008, with $3 million paid in conjunction with issuing 20,000,000 shares of common stock to acquire the stock of Inventa Technologies (see Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements).

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2009, cash provided by financing activities resulted from the following:

·   $339,000 in proceeds from the sale of 847,500 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $0.40 per share as part of a private placement.

·   $2,215,530  in proceeds from the sale of 6,330,080 shares of Common Stock at $0.35 per share and 6,330,080 Common Stock Warrants, exercisable at $0.40 per share for a period of one year as part of a private placement.

·   $50,000 in proceeds from the sale of 125,000 of our Common Stock at a price of $0.40 per share and 125,000 Common Stock Warrants exercisable at $0.50 per share that expire in one year as part of a private placement.

·   $115,000 for convertible promissory with an interest rate of 1%. The notes were immediately converted to 287,500 shares of our Common Stock.

·   $10,400 in proceeds from the exercise of 20,000 Common Stock options.

·   $50,000 in proceeds from a line of credit from a financial institution.

·   $500,000 in proceeds from the exercise of 500,000 Preferred Stock Warrants.

·   $307,606 in principal payments on long-term debt.

From time to time, we engage in private placement activities with accredited investors. The private placements sometimes consist of Units, which gives the investor shares of restricted common stock at a discount to the then-current market price, and a warrant to purchase a number of restricted shares of common stock at a fixed price set at a premium to the then-current market price. The warrants generally have a life of one to three years.

The Company had approximately $1.2 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand as of December 31, 2009. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company used approximately $318,000 per month for operating activities. As such, the Company secured additional financing to fund operations as follows:

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company issued 3,465,321 shares of Common Stock at $0.40 per share and 3,465,321 Common Stock Warrants, exercisable at $0.50 per share for a period of one year, for total gross proceeds of $1,386,128 as part of a private placement.

On March 12, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with Fletcher International, Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Bermuda (“Fletcher”), under which Fletcher has the right and, subject to certain conditions, the obligation to purchase up to $10,000,000 of the Company’s common stock in multiple closings as described below.  Fletcher also will receive a warrant to purchase up to $10,000,000 of the Company’s common stock.

At the initial closing under the Agreement, Fletcher has the right to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share. At subsequent closings, Fletcher has the right to purchase (a) up to an aggregate of $500,000 of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to the Prevailing Market Price (as defined therein), (b) up to an aggregate of $3,000,000 of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) $1.25 per share, and (ii) the Prevailing Market Price, and (c) up to an aggregate of $5,000,000 of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) $1.50 per share, and (ii) the Prevailing Market Price.  The Company can require such purchases if certain conditions are satisfied.

Under the Agreement, Prevailing Market Price is defined as the average of the daily volume-weighted average price for shares of the Company’s common stock for the forty business days ending on and including the third business day before the pricing event, but not greater than the average of the daily volume-weighted average price for shares of the Company’s common stock for any five consecutive or nonconsecutive business days in such forty day period.

The warrant to be issued to Fletcher covers $10,000,000 of the Company’s common stock, is exercisable at a price per share of $0.9030 subject to certain adjustments, is exercisable for nine years subject to certain extensions, and is exercisable on a net exercise basis. If certain conditions are satisfied, the warrant may be replaced with a new warrant covering $10,000,000 of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price per share of $3.00 subject to certain adjustments, a term of two years subject to certain extensions, and the same net exercise provisions. On March 22, 2010, the Company issued 11,074,197 Common Stock Warrants in conjunction with the Agreement.

On March 22, 2010, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share for total gross proceeds of $1,500,000 in conjunction with the Fletcher Agreement.

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has both a working and net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  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 fourth quarter of 2010. 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. Additionally, the Company may be able to mitigate these factors through the generation of revenue from the licensing of the second ACS product, if the development efforts are successful and the market demand continues for such products. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Critical Accounting Policies

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

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. 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 a trade name, which has an indefinite useful life and is not being amortized.

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues consisted of annual support and maintenance fees paid in advance by customers. The fees are amortized into revenue ratably over the related contract period, generally twelve months, beginning with customer acceptance of the product. Deferred revenue also includes license fees for any customer who has been invoiced, but has not yet signed the customer acceptance of delivery and acknowledgment form as required under our revenue recognition policy. For Inventa, revenue contracts are generally for a period of one year or more. The billing frequencies vary, based on the contract. Revenue is deferred until services are rendered.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated 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 Company’s judgment, assumptions and estimates used for the current tax provision take into account the potential impact of the interpretation of Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 740-10 ("ASC 740-10")  issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and its interpretation of current tax laws and possible future audits conducted by the U.S. tax authorities. ASC 740-10 requires that the Company examine the effects of our tax position, based on the use of our judgments, assumptions, and estimates when it is more likely than not, based on technical merits, that our tax position will be sustained if an examination is performed. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10 on January 1, 2007.

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.

Revenue Recognition

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:

23

·   Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

·   Delivery or performance has occurred;

·   The arrangement fee is fixed or 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; and

·   Collection is reasonably assured.

Research and Development Expenses

Costs related to the research, design, and development of products are charged to research and development expenses as incurred. Software development costs are capitalized beginning when a product's technological feasibility has been established and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. Generally, products are released soon after technological feasibility has been established. As a result, costs subsequent to achieving technological feasibility have not been significant and all software development costs have been expensed as incurred.

Equity-Based Compensation

The Company has two equity-based employee and director compensation plans (the ANTs software inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan and the ANTs software inc. 2008 Stock Plan). 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 equity-based awards to nonemployees are accounted for at their fair value. 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.

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The ASC is an aggregation of previously issued authoritative U.S. GAAP in one comprehensive set of guidance organized by subject area. Subsequent revisions to U.S. GAAP will be incorporated into the ASC through Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”).  The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance in the third quarter of 2009.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, in two steps; effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted it for all financial instruments and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and effective January 1, 2009, for all non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a non-recurring basis. This guidance establishes a new framework for measuring fair value and expands related disclosures. This framework 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 this guidance did not have a significant impact on our accounting for financial instruments.

Effective April 1, 2009, the FASB amended ASC 820 in relation to determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. Adoption of this amendment did not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB amended the existing disclosure guidance on fair value measurements, which is effective January 1, 2010, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which is effective January 1, 2011. Among other things, the updated guidance requires additional disclosure for the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements and requires certain Level 3 disclosures on a gross basis. Additionally, the updates amend existing guidance to require a greater level of disaggregated information and more robust disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs to fair value measurements. Since the amended guidance requires only additional disclosures, the adoption will not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. ASU No. 2009-05 amends Topic 820 of the ASC by providing additional guidance clarifying the measurement of liabilities at fair value.  The amendments did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

24

In May 2008, the FASB issued ASC 470, an accounting standard related to convertible debt instruments which may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement). ASC 470 requires the issuing entity of such instruments to separately account for the liability and equity components to represent the issuing entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing interest rate when interest charges are recognized in subsequent periods. The provisions of ASC 470 must be applied retrospectively for all periods presented even if the instrument has matured, has been extinguished, or has been converted as of the effective date. The application of ASC 470 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued accounting guidance related to determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities found within ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” This guidance states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-06, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure – Amendments for Nonpublic Entities” (“ASU 2009-06”).  ASU 2009-06 provides additional implementation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and eliminates disclosure required by paragraph 740-10-50-15(a) through (b) for nonpublic entities.  The Company adopted ASU 2009-06 during the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-06 had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations as of or for the year ended December 31, 2009.

In September 2009, the FASB ratified ASU No. 2009-13 (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 addresses criteria for separating the consideration in multiple-element arrangements. ASU 2009-13 will require companies to allocate the overall consideration to each deliverable by using a best estimate of the selling price of individual deliverables in the arrangement in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence or other third-party evidence of the selling price. ASU 2009-13 will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and early adoption will be permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2009-13 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, “Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements” (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-14 modifies the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance to exclude (a) non-software components of tangible products and (b) software components of tangible products that are sold, licensed, or leased with tangible products when the software components and non-software components of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible product’s functionality. ASU 2009-14 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, unless the election is made to adopt ASU 2009-14 retrospectively. In either case, early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2009-14 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Not Applicable.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(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 December 31, 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 to ensure compliance.

(c) Management's report on internal control over financial reporting.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

To evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control--Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

Based on our assessment, we concluded that at December 31, 2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of ANTs software inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ANTs software inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2009.  The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of ANTs software inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred significant recurring operating losses, decreasing liquidity, and negative cash flows from operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ANTS SOFTWARE INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Business

Nature of Operations

ANTs software inc. developed the ANTs Compatibility Server and continues to develop additional Compatibility Server products. The ANTs Compatibility Server ("ACS") brings the promise of a fast, cost-effective method to move applications from one database to another and enables enterprises to achieve cost efficiencies by consolidating their applications onto fewer databases. The Company’s IT managed services and professional services division provides pre- and post-sales services related to the ACS and application migration, application and database architecting, monitoring and management.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ANTs software inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Inventa Technologies, Inc. ("Inventa") from the date of acquisition of Inventa on May 30, 2008, through December 31, 2009 (collectively referred to as the "Company"). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Continuation as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and contemplate continuation of ANTs software inc. (the “Company”) as a going concern.  However, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working and 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 $113,239,302, as of December 31, 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 fourth quarter of 2010. 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 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

There have been no major changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the year ended December 31, 2009. 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.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. On an ongoing basis , the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, 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, the fair value of the warrants extended and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A”) issued in conjunction with the extinguishment of promissory notes and assumptions incorporated in determining stock-based compensation.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

F-7

Fair value of 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. 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments having original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of short-term money market instruments.

Accounts Receivable

Receivables are stated at net realizable value.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

In general, allowances for doubtful accounts may be maintained to reserve for potentially uncollectible trade receivables. Management reviews trade receivables to identify customers with known disputes or collection issues.  The Company may also provide a reserve based on the age of the receivable. In determining any reserve, judgments are made about the credit-worthiness of the customer based on ongoing credit evaluations. Historical level of credit losses and current economic trends that might impact the level of future credit losses are also considered. Receivable balances are written off when the company determines they are uncollectible.

Years Ended December 31,

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consisted of a 365-day certificate of deposit in the principal amount of $125,000 as of December 31, 2008 and was held by Silicon Valley Bank with an annual interest rate of 0.75% that matures each year on July 31. The funds were pledged to collateralize the Company's revolving credit card facility. Management closed the revolving credit card facility during 2009. As of December 31, 2008, amounts due on the credit card facility were included in accounts payable and other accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no amounts due on the credit card facility as of December 31, 2009.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is carried at cost and is depreciated using a straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to five years. The costs of leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or estimated economic lives, whichever is shorter. Expenditures for improvement or expansion of property and equipment are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When the assets are sold or retired, their cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

F-8

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

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. As part of the Company’s analysis, the company considered the estimated future revenues of the existing services division’s contracts on a contract by contract basis using renewal rates of 0 to 100% and assumed a growth rate of 5% for new contacts. For the estimated future revenues from the Company’s Global OEM agreement, the Company used its best estimate of future contracts and discounted the revenues from those contracts by 35%.

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 a trade name, which has an indefinite useful life and is not being amortized.

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues consisted of annual support and maintenance fees paid in advance by customers. The fees are amortized into revenue ratably over the related contract period, generally twelve months, beginning with customer acceptance of the product. Deferred revenue also includes license fees for any customer who has been invoiced, but has not yet signed the customer acceptance of delivery and acknowledgment form as required under our revenue recognition policy. For Inventa, revenue contracts are generally written for a period of one year or more. The billing frequencies vary, based on the contract. Revenue is deferred until services are rendered.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated 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.

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.

Revenue Recognition

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 if 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 or performance has occurred;

·   The arrangement fee is fixed or 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; and

·   Collection is reasonably assured.

F-9

Research and Development Expenses

Costs related to the research, design, and development of products are charged to research and development expenses as incurred. Software development costs are capitalized beginning when a product's technological feasibility has been established and ends when a product is available for general release to customers. Generally, products are released soon after technological feasibility has been established. As a result, costs subsequent to achieving technological feasibility have not been significant and all software development costs have been expensed as incurred.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $8,000 and $18,000, respectively.

Equity-Based Compensation

The Company has two equity-based employee and director compensation plans (the ANTs software inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan and the ANTs software inc. 2008 Stock Plan). 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 equity-based awards to nonemployees are accounted for at their fair value. 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.

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The ASC is an aggregation of previously issued authoritative U.S. GAAP in one comprehensive set of guidance organized by subject area. Subsequent revisions to U.S. GAAP will be incorporated into the ASC through Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”).  The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance in the third quarter of 2009.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, in two steps; effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted it for all financial instruments and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and effective January 1, 2009, for all non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a non-recurring basis. This guidance establishes a new framework for measuring fair value and expands related disclosures. This framework 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 this guidance did not have a significant impact on our accounting for financial instruments.

Effective April 1, 2009, the FASB amended ASC 820 in relation to determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. Adoption of this amendment did not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” and amended the existing disclosure guidance on fair value measurements, which is effective January 1, 2010, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which is effective January 1, 2011. Among other things, the updated guidance requires additional disclosure for the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements and requires certain Level 3 disclosures on a gross basis. Additionally, the updates amend existing guidance to require a greater level of disaggregated information and more robust disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs to fair value measurements. Since the amended guidance requires only additional disclosures, the adoption will not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. ASU No. 2009-05 amends Topic 820 of the ASC by providing additional guidance clarifying the measurement of liabilities at fair value.  The amendments did not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.

F-10

In May 2008, the FASB issued ASC 470, an accounting standard related to convertible debt instruments which may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement). ASC 470 requires the issuing entity of such instruments to separately account for the liability and equity components to represent the issuing entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing interest rate when interest charges are recognized in subsequent periods. The provisions of ASC 470 must be applied retrospectively for all periods presented even if the instrument has matured, has been extinguished, or has been converted as of the effective date. The application of ASC 470 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued accounting guidance related to determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities found within ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” This guidance states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-06, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure – Amendments for Nonpublic Entities” (“ASU 2009-06”).  ASU 2009-06 provides additional implementation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and eliminates disclosure required by paragraph 740-10-50-15(a) through (b) for nonpublic entities.  The Company adopted ASU 2009-06 during the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-06 had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations as of or for the year ended December 31, 2009.

In September 2009, the FASB ratified ASU No. 2009-13 (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 addresses criteria for separating the consideration in multiple-element arrangements. ASU 2009-13 will require companies to allocate the overall consideration to each deliverable by using a best estimate of the selling price of individual deliverables in the arrangement in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence or other third-party evidence of the selling price. ASU 2009-13 will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and early adoption will be permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2009-13 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, “Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements” (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-14 modifies the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance to exclude (a) non-software components of tangible products and (b) software components of tangible products that are sold, licensed, or leased with tangible products when the software components and non-software components of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible product’s functionality. ASU 2009-14 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, unless the election is made to adopt ASU 2009-14 retrospectively. In either case, early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2009-14 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Business Combination

On May 30, 2008 the Company completed the acquisition of Inventa, a Delaware corporation. Inventa was acquired in order to expand the Company's presence in the database compatibility and consolidation technology market by using Inventa's workforce to increase exposure to the market. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination and, accordingly, a portion of the purchase price was allocated to the tangible assets, liabilities assumed and identifiable intangible assets. The balance of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill. Fair values were estimated using the discounted cash flow method based on information then available, including estimates of future operating results. The primary method used in determining fair value estimates was the income approach, which attempts to estimate the income producing capability of the asset. The Company issued 20,000,000 shares valued at $1.20 per share to the shareholders of Inventa. The value of the Company's stock was valued at the average fair market value of the Company's free trading shares from two days before the date of announcement through two days after the date of the announcement.

Had the acquisition of Inventa taken place at January 1, 2008, the pro forma consolidated results of operations would have had revenues totaling $10,532,003 (unaudited) for the year ended December 31, 2008; net loss totaling $11,884,574 (unaudited) for the year ending December 31, 2008; and net loss per share - basic and diluted totaling $(0.15) (unaudited) for the year ended December 31, 2008. This pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated as of that time, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results.

4. Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per common share is calculated 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. Net loss applicable to common shareholders for 2009 was adjusted to take into effect a deemed dividend related to a beneficial conversion feature on Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in the amount of $2,048,534.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had 8,467,198 and 10,402,512 anti-dilutive shares of Common Stock related to stock options, respectively. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had 2,500,000 and 12,106,115 anti-dilutive shares of Common Stock related to convertible promissory notes. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, warrants for the purchase of 16,125,522 and 4,557,941 shares of Common Stock, respectively, were anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had 26,938,249 and -0- anti-dilutive shares of Common Stock related to convertible Preferred Stock, respectively.  These anti-dilutive instruments are not included in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per common share.

10. Industry Segment, Customer and Geographic Information

The Company operates in a single industry segment, computer software. All of the Company’s assets and employees are located in the United States. The organization is primarily structured in a functional manner. During the periods presented, the current Chief Executive Officer was identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) as defined by accounting standards. Generation of revenues from ADS and ACS were not segregated from operating expenses between those incurred for maintenance and support of ADS and research and development expenses incurred on ACS. Therefore the CODM reviews consolidated financial information on revenues, gross margins and operating expenses; discrete information between ADS and the ACS product under development, is not currently maintained or reviewed.

Customer Information

For the year ended December 31, 2009, $5,664,080, or 97%, of the Company’s revenues were derived from three customers, which represented $3,859,378, $1,436,035 and $368,667, or 66%, 25% and 6% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively. For the year ended December, 31, 2008, $7,585,933, or 92%, of the Company’s revenues were derived from three customers, which represented $3,611,441, $2,376,871 and $1,597,621, or 44%, 28% and 20% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively.

At December 31, 2009, three customers accounted for 92% (Customer A was 69%, Customer B was 12% and Customer C was 11%) of the trade accounts receivable balance of $560,439.  At December 31, 2008, three customers accounted for 82% (Customer A was 24%, Customer B was 45% and Customer C was 13%) of the trade accounts receivable balance of $383,445.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”.  The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate on the Company's pre-tax loss and the Company's effective income tax rate is summarized as follows:
 

	2009						2008
	Amount			Percent			Amount			Percent
U.S. federal income tax benefit
at federal statutory rate	$	(8,169,545	)		-35.0	%	$	(4,070,005	)		-35.0	%
Sale of net operating loss carryovers		(52,262	)		-0.2	%		(527,180	)		-4.5	%

Other		-			0	%		7,443			0.1	%
Total	$	(80,402	)		-0.3	%	$	(527,180	)		-4.5	%

Due to our loss position for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, there was no provision for income taxes during these periods.

In November 2008, the Company was approved by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (the "NJEDA") to participate in the 2008 NJEDA Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program.  This program enables approved, unprofitable technology companies based in the State of New Jersey to sell their unused net operating loss carryovers and unused research and development tax credits to unaffiliated, profitable corporate taxpayers in the State of New Jersey for at least 75% of the value of the tax benefits.  In November 2008, the Company received $527,180 of net proceeds ($563,959 gross proceeds less $36,779 of expenses incurred) from a third party related to the sale of approximately $7,297,000 of unused net operating loss carryovers for the State of New Jersey.  During December 2009 the Company was approved to sell additional state tax assets.  In January 2010, the Company received $80,402 ($93,718 gross proceeds less $13,316 of expenses incurred) from two third parties related to the sale of approximately $255,000 of unused net operating loss carryovers and approximately $71,000 of research and development tax credits for the State of New Jersey. As of December 31, 2009, the Company recorded a tax loss receivable in the amount of $80,402 as a component of prepaid expense and other current assets.

Based upon the Company's history of losses, management believes it is more likely than not that the total deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable.  Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

The tax effects of significant temporary differences representing deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

F-16

	2009			2008
Deferred long-term tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforward	$	45,903,727		$	44,120,237
Research tax credit carryforward		2,830,976			2,515,581
Expenses deductible in later years		5,499,360			132,922
Non-Cash interest expense		-			1,827,147
Gross deferred tax assets		54,234,063			48,595,887

Net deferred tax liabilities	$	(344,000	)	$	(344,000	)

As of December 31, 2009, we had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $118.2 million for federal tax purposes and $79.0 ("NOL's") million for state tax purposes. If not earlier utilized, the federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire in various years from 2010 through 2029 and the state net operating loss carryforwards will expire in various years from 2016 through 2029.

Following is a summary of the years in which the NOL's will expire:

	Federal NOL's		State NOL's
2010-2012	$	3,045,000	$	13,038,000
2013-2016		-		32,038,000
2017-2020		28,062,000		23,204,000
2021-2024		39,755,000		-
2025-2029		47,296,000		10,685,000
Total	$	118,158,000	$	78,965,000

Section 382 limits the use of the NOL's based on the purchase price and the existing applicable Federal Rate ("AFR"). For the Inventa acquisition in May of 2008, the AFR was 4.4%. As the purchase price was $28.5 million, the result is an annual limitation of $731,500. For 2008 it is prorated to $426,700. If the Company does not use the loss in a given year, the unused limit can be carried forward until the NOL's expire. The NOL’s listed in the table above are gross NOL’s without regard to Section 382 limitations.  In addition as Inventa is part of a consolidated group, the Company is subject to a Separate Return Limitation Year ("SRLY") that limits the losses from the years prior to the purchase to the profits of Inventa.  Any losses after May 2008 are not subject to either limitation and can be used fully to offset profits of Inventa or ANTs.

As of December 31, 2009, we had research credit carryforwards of approximately $2.2 million for federal tax purposes and $1.8 million for state tax purposes. If not earlier utilized the federal research credit carryforwards will expire in various years from 2012 through 2029. The state research credit carries forward indefinitely until utilized.

A summary of the valuation allowance for the Company's deferred tax assets is as follows:

	Charged to
	Beginning		Deferred Tax				Ending
	Balance		Assets		Deductions		Balance
Deferred Tax Allowance Accounts:
Years Ended December 31,
2009	$	46,543,887	$	5,885,457	$	-	$	52,429,344
2008	$	27,152,471	$	21,443,416	$	-	$	48,595,887

Uncertain Tax Positions

Under accounting standards, the financial statement recognition of the benefit for a tax position is dependent upon the benefit being more likely than not to be sustainable upon audit by the applicable taxing authority. If this threshold is met, the tax benefit is then measured and recognized at the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. On January 1, 2007, the Company reduced its deferred tax asset and valuation allowance by $685,000 upon adopting this standard.

F-17

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the liability for unrealized income tax benefits during the tax years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

Balance at January 1, 2008	$	684,954
Additions for tax positions related to the year ended December 31, 2008		-
Balance at December 31, 2008	$	684,954
Balance at January 1, 2009	$	684,954
Additions for tax positions related to the year ended December 31, 2009		-
Balance at December 31, 2009	$	684,954

The $684,954 of unrealized tax benefits, if realized, will affect our effective income tax rate without regard to the valuation allowance. We account for any applicable interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. No amount is accrued for interest or penalties in the statement of operations or in the statements of financial position as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company does not expect a significant increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date. The only major tax jurisdictions are the United States, California and New Jersey. The tax years 1995 through 2009 remain open and are subject to examination by the appropriate governmental agencies in the U.S and 1998 through 2009 in California and New Jersey.

“J” Unit Sales

During the period from December 2006 through March 2007, the Company issued bundled securities consisting of convertible promissory notes (the "Notes") and common stock (collectively referred to as the "J Units"). This private offering was approved by the Board of Directors in December 2006 to raise additional working capital. The J Units were sold at a per unit price of $50,000 and were comprised of (i) 14,285 shares of the Company's common stock (issued at the market value of the Company's common stock on the date of purchase (restated)) and (ii) a Note with an initial face value of $25,000. Each Note had a stated interest rate of 10% per annum (simple interest) due and payable at the end of each quarter. Each Note originally matured 24 months from the issuance date, and was convertible into shares of common stock, at the election of the holder, at a per share price of $2.00. Each Note was prepayable without penalty upon 30 days notice and was convertible at the Company's election in the event the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $4.00 per share. If converted at the Company's election, the Company agreed to register the shares of stock upon conversion. Substantially all of the Notes were extinguished in May 2008 as discussed below.

In December 2006, 40 J Units were sold to accredited investors, raising $2 million, and 571,400 shares of common stock and Notes with an aggregate face value of $1 million were issued. In January 2007, 180 J Units were sold to accredited investors, raising $9 million, and 2,571,300 shares of common stock and Notes with an aggregate face value of $4.5 million were issued. In March 2007, 40 J Units were sold to accredited investors, raising $2 million, and 571,400 shares of common stock and Notes with an aggregate face value of $1 million were issued.

The Company allocated the proceeds between the common stock and the Notes to determine whether or not a beneficial conversion feature existed as part of the Notes. The Common Stock issued in connection with the December 2006 J Units was valued at $1,265,444 (restated).

Convertible Promissory Notes with Warrants

During October 2007 the Company sold a convertible promissory note in the amount of $2,000,000 to an accredited investor. Pursuant to the sale, the Company issued a warrant to the investor covering 1,333,333 shares of common stock with a per share exercise price of $3.25. The warrant expired 36 months from issuance. The note had a stated interest rate of 10% per annum (simple interest) due and payable at the end of each calendar quarter, matured in 36 months from the date of issuance and was convertible into shares of common stock, at the election of the holder, at a per share price of $1.50, and is prepayable without penalty if (i) the bid price of the Company's common stock equals or exceeds $4.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days and (ii) the Company provides the investor with 20 trading days' notice of its intent to prepay. The note was deemed extinguished in May 2008. As a result of the extinguishment, the maturity date of the debt and warrants were extended to January 2011 and the per-share conversion price was reduced to $0.80; all other terms remained unchanged.

During December 2007 the Company sold a convertible promissory note in the amount of $1,003,226. Pursuant to the sale, a warrant was issued to the investor covering 668,817 shares of common stock with a per share exercise price of $3.25. The warrant expired 36 months from issuance. The note had a stated interest rate of 10% per annum (simple interest) due and payable at the end of each calendar quarter, matured 36 months from issuance and was convertible into shares of common stock, at the election of the holder, at a per share price of $1.50, and is prepayable without penalty if (i) the bid price of the Company's common stock equals or exceeds $4.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days and (ii) the Company provides the investor with 20 trading days' notice of its intent to prepay. The note was deemed extinguished in May 2008. As a result of the extinguishment, the maturity date of the debt and warrants were extended to January 2011 and the per-share conversion price was reduced to $0.80; all other terms remained unchanged.

Upon original issuance, the Company allocated the proceeds of these sales between the warrants and the notes based on their relative fair values. The allocation resulted in a total discount of $479,829 (restated) related to the warrants for the Notes issued in October and December 2007. In addition, the Note issued in October 2007 had a beneficial conversion feature based on the computed fair value of the note. The Company recorded a discount of $191,363 for the beneficial conversion feature. The total discount issued in relation to these notes was $671,192.

Extinguishment of Debt

On May 15, 2008 the Company negotiated with certain holders of the Notes to both extend the maturity date and reduce the price at which each note is convertible into shares of common stock (the "Conversion Price") from $1.50 or $2.00 per share to either $0.80 or $1.20 per share. A total of $9.3 million in principal was renegotiated and the due dates were extended from their original maturity dates of December 2008 through December 2010, to a revised maturity date of January 31, 2011. The Notes that were renegotiated represent both those issued under the "J" Unit Sales discussed above as well as those issued under Convertible Debt with Warrants, also discussed above. The other terms of the Notes remained unchanged.

On the date of modification the discounted present value of the cash flows of the modified convertible promissory notes (the "Modified Notes") was compared with the discounted present value of the Notes to determine whether the change in cash flows exceeded 10% of the carrying value of the Notes. Based on this test, all of the Notes were deemed extinguished. Upon extinguishment, the Company recorded a loss on the extinguishment of $49,940.

All of the Modified Notes were deemed to have a beneficial conversion feature, as the closing price of the Company's stock on May 15, 2008 was greater than the imputed conversion value. The fair value of the beneficial conversion features totaled $5,226,069 and were recorded to Discount on Notes Payable with an offset to Additional Paid-in Capital. In addition, the warrants issued in connection with the October and December 2007 Notes were modified. Consequently, the Company calculated the relative value of the debt and warrants. The discount associated with this allocation resulted in an additional $291,874 recorded to Discount on Notes Payable with an offset to Additional Paid-in Capital. A total additional discount of $5,517,943 was recorded as a result of the extinguishment of debt. The discount will be amortized over the life of the Modified Notes using the effective or straight line interest method as appropriate.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company repaid $50,000 of a $250,000 Convertible Promissory Note and extended the due date of the remaining $200,000 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 of the debt. The holder of the note also agreed to accept shares of the Company’s stock in consideration for interest payments. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded $32,802 to stockholders’ equity relating to shares of Common Stock that were issued for the note extension and interest payments. On September 30, 2009, this note holder subscribed to $150,000 of Common Stock and associated Common Stock Warrants as part of a Private Placement as more fully described in Note 14. On October 21, 2009 the Company paid the note holder $50,000 in cash, issued 57,548 Common Shares due for interest, and offset the holder’s stock subscription receivable of $150,000 in order to satisfy the $200,000 Convertible Promissory Note and interest payable.

During the year ended December 31, 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. The Company recorded the fair value of the additional 885,417 shares of Common Stock issued due to the reduced conversion price and recorded a loss on the extinguishment 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.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company entered into agreements with certain Promissory Note holders to convert their notes into newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) as of July 1, 2009. The total aggregate principal amount owed under the notes totaling $8,503,226, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of the conversion totaling $425,161, was converted into 8,928,387 shares of Preferred Stock. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into approximately 2.86 shares of Common Stock. In addition to the note conversion, three outstanding Common Stock Warrants held by one of the Promissory Note holders for the purchase of an aggregate amount of 3,002,150 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $0.80 per share, had been extended for one year. The Company accounted for this transaction as a loss on extinguishment. The Company recorded a loss on the transaction totaling $11,783,547, which is derived from the sum of the fair value of the Preferred Stock issued ($14,455,484), the additional fair value given in conjunction with the extension of the expiration date of the Common Stock Warrants ($184,513), and the additional fair value given in conjunction with the payment of the accrued interest in Preferred Stock ($297,613) less the carrying value of the Promissory Notes ($3,154,063), which is net of a discount of $5,349,163. See Note 15 related to the portion of this transaction that was with a related party, Constantin Zdarsky. The fair value of the Preferred Stock was determined to be $1.70 per share on July 1, 2009 based on an independent valuation. The fair value of the Preferred Stock was estimated using the Black-Scholes / Noreen-Wolfson Option Pricing Methodology with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, risk-free interest rate of 1.0%, an expected life of three and five years and expected stock price volatility of 1.0 and 1.3 to correspond with expected life assumptions. The ability of the Company to satisfy the liquidation preference has also been considered. The additional fair value related to the one year extension of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected stock price volatility of 1.09, expected life of two years and risk-free interest rate of 1.6%.

Line of Credit

On May 30, 2008, the Company assumed a revolving credit facility (the "Facility") in connection with the acquisition of Inventa, which remains in force through May 15, 2010. The Facility consists of a $250,000 revolving line of credit which bears interest at a daily rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% (0.231% and 0.436% at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively). At December 31, 2009 and 2008, there was $250,000 and $200,000 outstanding, respectively, under the line of credit and $0 and $50,000 available, respectively, pursuant to the terms of the Facility. There are no commitment fees due under the facility. The terms of the Facility require consecutive monthly interest-only payments with the principal due on August 1, 2010. The Facility is secured by all of the assets of Inventa.

Convertible Promissory Notes Related to Acquisition of Inventa Technologies, Inc.

In May 2008 and as part of the purchase price of Inventa, the Company issued $2.0 million in unsecured promissory notes due January 31, 2011, bearing interest at 10%, with interest payable at the end of each quarter. The convertible promissory notes are immediately convertible to 2.5 million shares of the Company's common stock at the election of the holders at a per share conversion price of $0.80. At the time of issuance, the conversion price was $0.30 per share less than the then-market price of our common stock. The intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature totaling $2.0 million was recorded as an increase to paid-in-capital and will be amortized to using the straight-line interest method over the life of the promissory notes.

1% Convertible Promissory Notes

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company issued two existing shareholders 1% Convertible Promissory Notes convertible at $0.40 per share and 287,500 Common Stock Warrants with an exercise price of $0.47 per share for total gross proceeds of $115,000, when the closing stock price was $0.47 per share. 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.

14. Stockholders' Equity

2009

Issuance of Series A Preferred Stock:

On July 1, 2009, the Company issued 8,928,387 shares of Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share as more fully described in Note 12. The Company has designated 12,000,000 of the 50,000,000 authorized shares of Preferred Stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The terms of the Preferred Stock allow the holder to convert each share of Preferred Stock into approximately 2.86 shares of Common Stock at any time. The Preferred Stock also contains anti-dilution provisions in the case that the Company issues Common Stock or any Common Stock equivalent at less than $0.35 per share, other than to employees, directors or consultants, among other things. The liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock is $1.00 per share. The holders of shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend at the rate of $0.05 per share per annum when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors. The holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such Preferred Stock could then convert. No dividends have been declared as of December 31, 2009. However, due to the fact that the Preferred Stock issued on July 1, 2009 was convertible to Common Stock at an effective price of $0.35 per share when the fair market value of the Common Stock was $0.42 per share, the Company recorded the intrinsic value of this beneficial conversion feature as a Preferred Stock dividend totaling $1,785,677.

On September 18, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Constantin Zdarsky, an existing Common and Preferred Stockholder, and Common Stock Warrant holder (see Note 16), in which his 3,002,150 Common Stock Warrants, which were exercisable at $0.80 per share, were cancelled and the Company granted a new warrant to purchase up to 1,050,752 shares of fully-vested Preferred Stock of the Company at a per share exercise price of $1.00 and exercisable through April 30, 2010 (the “Preferred Stock Warrants”). The Company also granted a new fully-vested Common Stock Warrant to purchase up to 7,502,151 shares of Common Stock of the Company at a per share price of $0.40 and exercisable through January 1, 2014.  Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Zdarsky committed to serially exercise his purchase right under the Preferred Stock Warrants with respect to all 1,050,752 shares of Preferred Stock as follows: 250,000 warrants by September 22, 2009, 250,000 warrants by December 31, 2009, 250,000 warrants by February 28, 2010 and 300,752 warrants by April 30, 2010. The fair value of the Preferred Stock Warrants was estimated to be $732,927 using the Black-Scholes / Noreen-Wolfson Option Pricing Methodology with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, risk-free interest rate of 1%, an expected life of one-half year and expected stock price volatility of 1.0. The fair value of the 3,002,150 cancelled Common Stock Warrants was estimated to be $451,470 using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected stock price volatility of 1.09, expected life of two years and risk-free interest rate of 1.6%. The fair value of the new 7,502,151 Common Stock Warrants was estimated to be $2,192,919 using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected stock price volatility of 1.09, expected life of 4 years and risk-free interest rate of 2.4%.

On September 22, 2009, 250,000 Preferred Warrants were exercised as stipulated in the agreement. Due to the fact that the 250,000 shares of Preferred Stock issued were convertible into Common Stock at an effective price of $0.35 per share when the fair market value of the Common Stock was $0.39 per share, the Company recorded the intrinsic value of this beneficial conversion feature as a Preferred Stock Dividend totaling $27,143. On December 18, 2009, 250,000 Preferred Warrants were exercised as stipulated in the agreement. Due to the fact that the 250,000 shares of Preferred Stock issued was convertible to Common Stock at an effective price of $0.35 per share when the market value of the Common Stock was $0.68 per share, the Company recorded the intrinsic value of this beneficial conversion feature as a Preferred Stock dividend totaling $235,714.

As of December 31, 2009, the outstanding Preferred Stock was convertible into 26,938,249 shares of Common Stock and the liquidation preference totaled $9,428,387. Preferred Stock dividends related to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the Preferred Stock totaled $2,048,534 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

During the second quarter of 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. The Company recorded the fair value of the additional 885,417 shares of Common Stock 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.

Stock Compensation Plans

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) which are intended to attract, retain and provide incentives for talented employees, officers, directors and consultants, and to align stockholder and employee interests. Stock-based compensation is considered to be critical to operations and productivity and generally all of employees and directors of the Company participate, as well as certain consultants. Under the plans, the Company may grant incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to employees, directors or consultants, at not less than the fair market value on the date of grant for incentive stock options, and 85% of fair market value for non-qualified options. Options are granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

Options granted under the plans generally vest within three years after the date of grant, and expire 10 years after grant. Stock option vesting is generally time-based; however, the Company has also issued grants with certain performance-based vesting criteria. Options granted to new hires generally vest between one-sixth and one-third between six months and twelve months from the anniversary date of the grant and then vest monthly thereafter. The remaining unvested options vest ratably over the remaining life of the grant. Following termination of employment or consulting status, there is usually a grace period during which the vested portion of the option is exercisable. This period is typically three months, but may be shorter or longer depending on the terms of a given stock option agreement or upon managements' discretion. Non-employee directors are typically granted stock options in recognition of their service. Such directors are granted an option to purchase up to 150,000 shares, which vest monthly over their three-year board service term. Non-employee directors who chair a committee are granted an additional 30,000-share option with the same vesting schedule. Directors generally serve for terms of three years. Options granted to directors may include a one-year lock-up provision following termination of their director status, during which period the option cannot be exercised.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company granted 50,000 stock options to employees and 400,000 stock options to a consultant at exercise prices ranging from $0.57 to $0.70 per share with fair values ranging from $0.38 to $0.42 per share on the date of grant. The fair value of the options was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected stock price volatility of 1.09, risk-free interest rate of 1.2% to 1.4%, and an expected life of three years.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company granted 70,000 stock options to employees at exercise prices ranging from $0.35 to $0.41 per share with fair values ranging from $0.23 to $0.26 per share on the date of grant. The fair value of the options was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected stock price volatility of 1.09, risk-free interest rate of 1.56%, and an expected life of three years.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company granted 30,000 stock options at $0.37 per share with a fair value of $0.25 per share on the date of grant. The fair value of the options was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected stock price volatility of 0.9859, risk-free interest rate of 1.49%, and an expected life of three years.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company granted 35,000 stock options at $0.35 per share with a fair value of $0.24 per share on the date of grant. The fair value of the options was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected stock price volatility of 1.05, risk-free interest rate of 1.08%, and an expected life of three years.

As of December 31, 2009, there was approximately $817,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for forfeitures, related to non-vested options granted to Company employees and contractors, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.68 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures.

As of December 31, 2009, there was approximately $282,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for forfeitures, related to non-vested restricted stock awards granted to Company employees and contractors, which is expected to be recognized through March 31, 2010. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures.

The fair value of employee and non-employee stock-based awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

	Fiscal Years Ended December 31,
	2009	2008
Expected life in years	3.00	3.00
Average Volatility	98.59% - 112.99%	66.27% - 92.39%
Interest rate	1.08% - 1.56%	1.48 % - 2.67%
Dividend Yield	0.00%	0.00%

F-26

The computation of expected volatility for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is based on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility. The computation of expected life is based on historical exercise patterns which generally represent the full vesting date for employee grants and contractual life of the award for non-employee grants. The interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The following table summarizes stock option plan activity and shares available for grant for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:
