BUSINESS

Section 1.1
The Company

Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 19, 1988 under the name Fortunistics, Inc. On November 18, 1998, the Company changed its name to Magnitude Information Systems, Inc.

On August 16, 2007 the Company acquired all outstanding shares of Kiwibox Media, Inc.

The Company, its subsidiary Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media Inc. are separate legal entities, with Kiwibox Media, Inc. being a wholly owned subsidiary. The 1% of Magnitude, Inc. not owned by the Company constitutes a minority interest which is valued at $0. The operations of the combined entity are currently comprised almost exclusively of the operations of Kiwibox Media, Inc.

Prior to the implementation of its strategic business plan in 2007, the Company’s primary product was an integrated suite of proprietary software modules previously marketed under the name ErgoEnterprise™. During the latter half of fiscal year 2006, Company management concluded that the marketplace for the Company’s ergonomic software products was not developing, and would not develop to the material extent necessary in the next 12 to 24 months, to support and sustain the Company’s sales efforts. Accordingly, management determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to identify another business opportunity and pursue it for the benefit of our shareholders. On February 19, 2007, the Company, pursuant to its strategic plan to seek another business opportunity, signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the owners of a social networking website, to acquire their Kiwibox.com website and business, represented by Kiwibox Media, Inc. Pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, in August, 2007, Kiwibox Media, Inc. merged with and into Magnitude Operations, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc., in a “reverse merger” transaction. The three shareholders of Kiwibox Media, Inc. transferred and delivered all of the outstanding stock of Kiwibox Media, Inc. to Magnitude Operations, Inc. for cancellation and received in exchange shares of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. at closing. Also at closing and as a result of the merger, the separate legal existence of Magnitude Operations, Inc. ceased and Kiwibox Media, Inc. became the surviving corporation of the merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc.

The Company is currently subject to the reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The Company has the authority to issue an aggregate of One Billion Four Hundred Million (1,400,000,000) Common Shares, par value $.0001, following an increase from 700,000,000 shares, authorized by the shareholders of the Company on January 29, 2009, and Three Million (3,000,000) Preferred Shares, par value $.001, of which at December 31, 2008, Two Thousand Five Hundred (2,500) were designated as Cumulative Preferred Shares, par value $.001; Three Hundred Thousand (300,000) were designated as Series A Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001; Three Hundred Fifty Thousand (350,000) were designated as Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001; One Hundred Twenty Thousand (120,000) were designated as Series C Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001; Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) were designated as Series D Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001; Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) were designated as Series E Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001, and Forty-Three Thousand Six Hundred Ten (43,610) were designated Series G Senior Convertible Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 2008, there were outstanding 436,242,570 Common Shares, 1 Cumulative Preferred Share, and 129,500 Convertible Preferred Shares.

Description of Business

Overview

Through our subsidiary, we own and operate “Kiwibox.com”, a social networking website for teens. Initially launched in 1999, Kiwibox.com is an online social networking website dedicated to teen users. The Kiwibox website provides online content in several categories, dedicated to teens, including entertainment, fashion and games. We have formed a user-based contingent of contributors that submit, review and comment upon content and articles from all over the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Kiwibox.com uses a “points” reward system for users, where a user may acquire elevated peer status and/or earn prizes which in many cases are provided by advertiser and/or sponsors. In August 2008 we had re-launched our website with increased functions.

The Kiwibox Acquisition

On August 16, 2007, we acquired Kiwibox Media, Inc. through a reverse merger between Kiwibox and our wholly owned acquisition subsidiary. As a result of the merger, Kiwibox became our wholly owned subsidiary.

At the Kiwibox closing, we (1) issued an aggregate 30,000,000 restricted common shares to the three Kiwibox shareholders,  (2) issued an aggregate 43,610 shares of our Senior Convertible Series G Preferred stock to these principals, (3) paid an aggregate $150,000 in cash to these Kiwibox principals, less a $7,000 investment banking fee paid to Southridge Investment Group, and (4) signed two-year employment agreements with Messrs. Lin Dai, Ivan Tumanov and Michael Howard, the three Kiwibox shareholders, all pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated February 19, 2007, and amendments thereto, and as most recently modified by Amendment No. 6 between the parties on February 28, 2009. The 43,610 Series G Preferred Shares issued to the Kiwibox principals at closing have an aggregate conversion value of $500,000 (the “Conversion Value”), which $500,000 Conversion Value is convertible into our common shares by dividing it by the “Market Price”, representing the average price of our common stock during the twenty (20) successive trading days immediately preceding the second anniversary of the agreement. At the closing, the Company agreed to issue 750,000 of the Kiwibox shareholders’ restricted common shares to Southridge Investment Group, LLC as part of its fee.
 
As previously reported on our prior Form 8-K current report of August 2, 2007, the Swiss investment firm, Tell Capital AG, issued its commitment to subscribe to purchase an aggregate $3,000,000 of Company equity securities. This commitment provided us with the funds to close the Kiwibox acquisition.

Based upon our original Agreement and Plan of Reorganization of February 2007, we committed to invest $3.5 Million in the Kiwibox business. This commitment was based upon our communications with a Swiss based shareholder and investor in our Company, Tell Capital AG, who on July 26, 2007, sent us a commitment to invest $3 million of equity in our Company. Based upon Tell Capital’s commitment, we executed Amendment No. 3 to our original February, 2007 agreement with Kiwibox, committing to invest $3.5 million in various tranches, corresponding to the investment schedule set forth in the Tell Capital commitment, as well as agreeing to pay 60,000 restricted common shares for each day any of our scheduled investment tranches were late. Because of the delays in the receipt of the equity investments from Tell Capital, scheduled through November 1, 2007, our corresponding investment commitments to the Kiwibox business were also late. The continuing lateness of our investment commitments to the Kiwibox business resulted in further amendments to our Kiwibox agreement and required us to make a $100,000 penalty payment to the Kiwibox shareholders in 2007. The final modification to our original agreement, Amendment No. 6, executed on February 28, 2008, provided that if we raised $1.5 million in equity on or before March 7, 2008 and dedicated $700,000 of that amount to the Kiwibox business, made another penalty payment of $150,000 and delivered our corporate note in the principal amount of $225,000 to the Kiwibox shareholders, all rescission rights held by the Kiwibox shareholders and any further obligations to invest in the Kiwibox business would terminate. On March 7, 2008, we received $1.5 Million in subscription proceeds from investors, from which proceeds we dedicated $700,000 to the Kiwibox business, made the $150,000 penalty payment to the Kiwibox shareholders and delivered to them our $225,000 corporate note. Accordingly, the Kiwibox shareholders’ rights of rescission and our obligation to invest further funds in the Kiwibox business terminated. We have paid the Kiwibox shareholders $250,000 in cash, delivered to them our $225,000 corporate note, due June 15, 2008, and issued to them 30,560,000 restricted common shares resulting from the series of delays in meeting our commitments to invest funds into the Kiwibox business, as follows. We issued the 20,000,000 reset shares and 10,560,000 penalty shares to the Kiwibox shareholders and settled the $225,000 corporate note. During the fourth quarter in 2008 we received a total of $736,000 in subscription funds against which we issued 29,440,000 restricted common shares.

We signed and delivered two-year employment agreements with the three Kiwibox Shareholders at the closing. These employment agreements pay each Kiwibox Shareholder an annual base salary of $150,000 and an annual bonus if certain business goals are met. Each Kiwibox Shareholder received a stock option to purchase up to 7,500,000 shares of our common stock which vests over time as well as a performance stock option to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, vesting upon the attainment of certain business goals. All of these stock options are exercisable at $.05 per share.  During the third quarter , we entered into a termination agreement with Ivan Tumanov, one of the Kiwibox shareholders, pursuant to which Mr. Tumanov resigned his position, terminated his employment agreement and returned his 10,500,000 stock options for cancellation, all as reported in our current report filed on Form 8-K with the Commission on September 24, 2008. We also issued to Paul Farris, the Director of Business Development for the Kiwibox operation, 500,000 non-qualified stock options, vesting one-third each on the three successive anniversary dates of his employment and 500,000 performance stock options, vesting upon attainment of certain performance goals, one-half each on the first and second employment anniversary dates, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement. On October 30, 2008, the Company terminated its employment agreement with Lin Dai for cause and cancelled his stock options pursuant to the terms of that agreement. On December 8, 2008, Mr. Dai resigned his position as a member of the Company's Board of Directors. Since this resignation, the Company has been in negotiations with Lin Dai to acquire all of Mr. Dai's Company securities and resolve all potential claims of the parties. Although these negotiations have ceased, neither the Company nor Mr. Dai have formally instituted any claims against the other and it is not possible to determine whether any claims will be instigated, or if commenced, what the outcomes of any such litigation may be.

History

Kiwibox.com was founded in 1999 by three students attending Carnegie Mellon University. Kiwibox.com was built as an online destination for teens, combining editorial content with interactive community features.  Kiwibox.com produces a “For Teen by Teens” Online Magazine, and currently has over one-thousand (1,000) active member contributors and editors. This user generated entertainment content is managed though a proprietary Kiwibox.com editorial system that is unique to Kiwibox.com, and is highly acclaimed by the user base.  Acceptance of this model was demonstrated through exponential membership growth during the first two years of operations. This membership growth required better access to entertainment and content sources, advertisers, and business partners, thus in 2000 Kiwibox relocated from Pittsburgh to New York City.  When the 2001 “dot-com” bubble burst in 2001 many Internet advertising agencies as well as Kiwibox competitors were forced out of business.  In response Kiwibox.com reduced its operations and focused on maintaining and growing its membership community, while establishing itself as  a highly trusted and safe teen destination..  As the Internet Advertising industry recovered over the next 6 years, Kiwibox.com steadily grew its registered membership base to 1.8 million.

Kiwibox Operations

In the United States alone the teenage population is approximately 44 Million, as estimated by the US Census Bureau, and they spent over $189 billion in 2006 according to eMarketer. Spending by and on teens is projected to grow to $208 billion by 2011.  To reach teens online, marketers will increasingly look to social networks. According to eMarketer, advertising on social networking websites is projected to be over $2 billion for 2008 and to grow to over $4 billion by 2011.  Today’s teenagers are the first generation to grow up using the Internet for everything from entertainment and information, to shopping and communication. In fact, according to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, 83 percent of U.S. teenagers are online. And although there are a number of websites that have targeted this large marketplace no one site has yet to dominate it. We will strive through technology and content enhancements to make the Kiwibox.com website one of the most exciting teenage, multimedia sites available.

Re-launch of our Website “2.0”

Since our acquisition of Kiwibox, we have been developing a new version of our website, as well as extending our offerings into different mobile platforms. The mobile WAP version of the Kiwibox.com site has been launched, as well as our new Kiwibox 2.0 website. In August, 2008, we launched our new Web 2.0 site, which contains significant enhancements over the original website, expanding our operations that includes the following new features:
      
·
Dynamic new profile pages — New profiles feature drag and drop customization, enhanced privacy settings, and personal sub-domains for every member. Kiwibox members can add widgets for Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Flickr, and all of their favorite Kiwibox content.
·
Revamped Points and Prizes — Members have more ways to earn KiwiPoints by participating in the social network and contributing editorial content. Members can redeem these KiwiPoints for an expanded selection of real world KiwiPrizes from iPods(TM) to Nintendo Wii(TM) and much more.
·
New KiwiGames — New KiwiGames section offers members double the amount of cool, fun games to play while connecting and competing with friends.
·
KiwiboxTV — Exclusive on camera interviews with artists and celebrities by Kiwibox teen Video Journalists, as well video coverage of red carpet events brings members one step closer to their favorite celebrities.
·
Enhanced weekly and daily content — Weekly online magazine is supplemented by daily and up-to-the-minute entertainment news contributed by members from around the world.
 
Search Engine Optimization – Kiwibox restructured article, news, journal, qbook, and postboard pages to optimize them for search engines. The changes resulted in growth of organic search engine traffic by 129% from July 2008 to September 2008.
Membership Growth – Through organic growth, new partnerships, and increased marketing efforts, new membership increased by 147% from the previous quarter.
Improved Referral Tools – In September, Kiwibox launched the eFriendFinder application. The application allows members to use their email address books from AOL, Yahoo!, Gmail, Hotmail, and other services to find their friends on Kiwibox and invite friends that aren't already members of Kiwibox.com. The service generates on average over 10,000 invitations to join Kiwibox, per day. We expect the number of friend invitations sent to increase as we increase new member registration, and promote the tool to current members of the Kiwibox community.
Universal Music Video Partnership – Kiwibox and Universal Music Group entered into an agreement that will provide the Kiwibox users access to thousands of videos from the world's most popular artists. UMG's music video catalog will be interwoven into Kiwibox's exclusive teen editorial content under the title of "Kiwibox Music Videos." The video content will be advertising supported and Kiwibox, artists, labels and copyright holders will all receive a share of revenue from the ads displayed next to their music video content.

Potential Revenue Streams

Currently we generate the majority of our revenue from advertising/sponsorships.  Although we anticipate  average web advertising CPM (click per thousand) rates to remain steady in 2009, revenue growth is expected as the revitalized site is launched, membership activity increases, launch of Kiwibox Mobile website, launch of 4KIWI platform, and the launch of the Kiwibox Virtual Economy..  Kiwibox Mobile, including both text messaging services (SMS) and a Kiwibox mobile internet experience (WAP)  Mobile services, garner higher advertising revenue rates (CPM’s) than traditional website CPM’s, thus we expect Mobile and Virtual Economy revenues to increasingly contribute to Kiwibox.com’s overall revenue stream.

Marketing Strategy

Our website is being constructed to promote safe and easy interactivity between the teen audience while providing a quality teen magazine. To date, we have devoted our resources to developing our teen magazine. Our new website will provide a platform for simple social interaction and connectivity among our teen members who will be able to share information and provide a portal for their social communication. The 2006 Nielsen Net Ratings have calculated that the top ten networking sites have grown approximately 47% and are expected to continue to grow at that rate for some time. The sites serve an estimated audience of approximately 68.8 million people, a large segment of the United States population. 

A teenager wants to connect and share information with his or her friends on an easy-to-use website. Our new website will provide easy access and inter-activity, etc.

Safety

Kiwibox.com has developed a proprietary monitoring model which assists in maintaining a safe site for our member base, combining both technology based systems and user moderation.  Over the last 8 years our team has selected trusted long term members to become “site monitors” known on the Kiwibox.com site as “KiwiHelpers”. These KiwiHelpers utilize internal Kiwibox provided tools to remove inappropriate content as needed, guide and warn users, and continually scan the site for unsafe content or user activity. These helpers have an icon next to their username denoting that they are a KiwiHelper, thus users who believe they are not being treated respectfully, or otherwise feel uncomfortable, may easily find and reach a KiwiHelper to gain their assistance.  If a KiwiHelper deems that a user or site issue requires further escalation, they in turn immediately contact Kiwibox personnel, which then evaluates and resolves the issue.

Kiwibox is constantly learning new and improved techniques to further our tools and methods, keeping Kiwibox.com one of the safest social networking destinations on the internet. We pride ourselves on our member involvement, and their ability to interact in an open yet safe environment, monitored by their peers.

We have spent over $100,000 on marketing in Q3 and Q4 of 2008, focusing on both web user acquisition as well as mobile user acquisition.  Furthermore, the strategic placement of widgets and web apps on major competitor websites will further drive potential members to Kiwibox.com.  Once potential new users reach Kiwibox via designated landing pages, they will be greeted with customized content, contests and features of their preference, along with points and incentives for them to join.  New viral tools will be available to existing members to increase referrals and generate significant membership growth via word-of-mouth.

We will also pursue partnerships with smaller web sites with similar or complementary demographic and establish an affiliate network.  Through co-marketing programs and revenue share advertising deals, we look to increase our brand exposure to potential members on affiliate sites, as well as further identifying potential web sites as acquisition targets.

Competition

Our primary competitors are other youth targeted online social networks, including Facebook.com, MyYearbook.com, and MySpace.com. MySpace and Facebook are widely considered the industry leaders, however, recently statistics and strategic announcements from both companies has indicated a shift in the target audience from teens and college students to a much broader and more adult demographic.  We plan to distinguish ourselves by focusing on the teen users and offering superior and exclusive content for this audience.

 
8

 

Secondary competitors include teen content providers and entertainment bloggers such as Seventeen.com, PerezHilton.com, etc.  These sites generate unique and engaging content that the teen audience enjoys and attracts a dedicated following.  However, these teen content provider sites offer none or very limited social networking features.  We plan on establishing partnerships and co-marketing agreements with certain strategic companies in this category, as well as utilizing our technology tools to aggregate content found on other popular teen sites.

Intellectual Property

Except for our patent covering covering our ErgoSentry software product, we currently do not own any other patents, trademarks, or licenses of any kind. However, the copyright on the Kiwibox.com web and mobile software and other related intellectual property rights are important assets.  We hold the Internet domain names Kiwibox.com, Kiwibox.net, Kiwibox.org, Kiwibox.info, Kiwibox.tv, Kiwibox.us, Kiwibox.mobi, Kiwibox.cn, and Kiwibox.com.cn.  Furthermore, for our mobile offerings, we hold the SMS short code 45494 (4KIWI) and related Internet domain names 4Kiwi.com, ForKiwi.com, and FourKiwi.com.

Governmental Regulations

Our Kiwibox website operations are subject to state, federal and international laws, rules and regulations that cover on-line business, privacy policies, consumer protection and product marketing. The Kiwibox website business is subject to state, federal and international laws, rules and regulations applicable to online commerce, including user privacy policies, product pricing policies, website content and general consumer protection laws.  Various laws, rules and regulations have been adopted, and probably will be adopted in the future, that apply to the Internet, including available online content, privacy concerns, online marketing, “spam” and unsolicited commercial email, taxation issues, and regulations that effect and monitor the quality of products and services.
 
A portion of these laws, rules and regulations that concern the Internet and its uses have been only recently adopted. Courts and administrative agencies have not yet fully interpreted these legal requirements as to their application and scope. Accordingly, our Kiwibox website business is subject to the uncertainties of future interpretations and application of these legal requirements. The application and interpretation of these legal requirements or the passage of new and/or revised laws, rules and regulations could reduce the demand for Kiwibox website services, increase its operational costs, and expose it to potential liability. Any such events, could have a material adverse effect upon our Kiwibox website business and financial condition. Our failure, or that of our business partners, to accurately predict and anticipate the interpretation or application of these laws, rules and regulations, whether now in force or adopted in the future, could have  a detrimental impact on our operations, create negative publicity for us and expose us to potential liability.
 
State and federal agencies are applying consumer protection laws to regulate the on-line use, collection and dissemination of personal information and website content. These laws require us to implement programs to notify our website users of our privacy and security programs.  One of the anticipated features of our new Kiwibox website, scheduled for launch in April, 2008, will permit our members to post their personal information on their membership pages and exchange this information with others. These new website networking functions require that we also provide our members with direct access to their personal information and the ability to edit, correct or delete part or all of their personal information. Consumer protection laws will require us to obtain the consent of our website users if we want to collect and use certain portions of their personal information.

The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) is the lead federal agency monitoring Internet websites and their content. State attorneys general have become active monitors of the Internet at the local State level. These governmental bodies may investigate or bring enforcement actions against website operators they deem in violation of applicable consumer protection laws. We believe that our Kiwibox website’s collection and dissemination of information programs, including our privacy policies, do and will continue to comply with existing laws. However, a decision by a federal or state agency that any of our Kiwibox website’s business practices do not meet applicable legal standards could result in liability and have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Kiwibox can be considered an early stage company and investors can not reasonably assume that we will ever be profitable. As an early stage company, we are likely to continue to have financial difficulties for the foreseeable future. We may successfully re-develop our website operations and generate additional revenues but still be unable to achieve profitability. Kiwibox has devoted substantial funds to develop its new website, launched in August, 2008, but investors should be aware that there can be no assurance that Kiwibox will ever achieve revenues that exceed its operational costs. We may not obtain the funding necessary to provide Kiwibox with the working capital necessary to continue to develop and market its website. Moreover, the Kiwibox.com website may not receive sufficient internet traffic to increase revenues or achieve profitability.
 
Doubt Raised About our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.

Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we will remain a going concern and that our assets will increase and that we will satisfy our liabilities in the normal course of our business. Kiwibox has had minimal revenues and has incurred operating losses during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008. Our independent auditors have concluded that these factors create an uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent, among other factors, on our continued success in raising capital.   

Need for Additional Capital; Short-Term Viability of Company
 
Our operations require immediate investment of equity capital or loans to continue to operate. If we can not secure funds in the short-term, we will be required to close our entire business operations, including the operations of our subsidiary, Kiwibox and its website. Assuming we can receive a current investment or loans to fund our immediate operational needs, our Kiwibox website business’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the degree to which teenagers use the kiwibox.com Website and the degree to which Kiwibox is able to generate revenues from users of its site. We expect to require additional financing before we achieve a profitable level of operations, however, there is no assurance that such funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.  If we elect to sell equity to raise additional funds, there is no assurance that additional equity can be sold on terms favorable to the Company and to its existing shareholders, with the result that existing shareholders may incur substantial dilution. Without the necessary funding, we may be required to delay, reduce or terminate some or all of our Kiwibox website business or our efforts to obtain additional funding.
 
No Formal Feasibility and Market Research Plan
 
We have collected data and statistics concerning the potential market for the Kiwibox.com website and the costs of marketing our services. We have relied principally on the judgment and conclusions of our management, based on their respective knowledge and experiences. We have not performed any formal marketing study that confirms any absolute demand for the services we are providing on our new Kiwibox.com website, launched in August, 2008.

10

 
Unpredictability of Future Revenues; Potential Downturns in Operating Results
 
Due to Kiwibox’s minimal revenues since inception and the uncertainty of revenues that may be generated through potential partners and alliances, we are currently unable to forecast our future revenues with accuracy.  Our current and future operational costs are based primarily on our marketing and website development plans and our estimates of future revenues. Our potential advertising and joint marketing sales results are difficult to forecast at this stage.  It will be difficult for us to realign our operational expenses should future revenue forecasts not materialize which would require that we curtail or cease certain aspects of our operations. Accordingly, if our future revenues are insufficient to fund our planned operations, such a shortfall could have an immediate adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We may experience cyclical downturns in our future operating results due to various factors, many of which are beyond our control. Some of the factors that could impact our operating results include: (a) our ability to attract and retain new members to our Kiwibox.com website; (b) new developments by our competitor websites; (c) advertising and product price competition; (d) our ability to develop enhancements to our website, upgrade its internet functionality and services; (e) our ability to attract and retain necessary personnel; (f) difficulties with our software or hardware equipment, including any interruptions in the development and maintenance of our internet equipment and related infrastructure systems related to our Kiwibox.com website; (g) the future impact of governmental rules, regulations and laws, and; (h) general economic conditions.

Website and Service Development Risks
 
The continuing development of our Kiwibox.com website is a highly complex technical process. We had launched our latest enhanced version in August 2008. However, since that time, and ongoing in the future, we are required to add enhancements and services in the future to remain competitive in our teen marketplace. If we are unable to develop and introduce new services or enhancements to our website in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.  
 
Limited Senior Management Team; Potential Problems with Expanding Personnel
 
We have a limited number of senior management personnel, planning, developing and managing our website business. We are in the process of expanding our website operations to accommodate potential growth in our membership and marketplace. We will experience significant pressure on our financial resources and management personnel as a result of the current expansion. In order to manage this expansion, we may be required to adopt new operating procedures, develop new advertising and marketing plans, financial controls and procedures and policies to supervise a growing employee population. We will also be required to attract, retain and properly administer the expansion of our employee population. Investors should be aware that we may not be able to adequately manage all of these new developments in our expansion, in which case our operations, business prospects, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
 
Competition
 
Our website business in the teen marketplace is highly competitive. We can give no assurances that our website business will effectively compete with the more established teen websites currently operating in this marketplace.
Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources, established brand names and significantly larger membership and customer bases and we expect our competition to only intensify.

Dependence on Management
 
Kiwibox.com website’s success will be substantially dependent on the continued services and on the performance of our current senior management. We will also be dependent upon our ability to retain and incentivize our management team. The loss of services of any one or more of our senior management team could have a material adverse affect on our operating results, business prospects and financial condition.

 
11

 

Our success will be dependent, in large part, on the services of our principal officers and employees.  The loss of any of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations.  We do not maintain “key-man” life insurance policies on the lives of our officers to compensate us in the event of their deaths.  
Except for issues that require shareholder approval, investors should be aware that they will have no vote on our operations, business developments or any management issues, including expansion, website enhancements or personnel decisions. You should not invest in our company unless you understand that all business and operational decisions are made by our management.
 
Creation of Brand Awareness
 
It will be crucial to the economic success of our Kiwibox.com website that we promote and establish brand awareness. A successful brand awareness campaign will tend to decrease our marketing expenses over time. If we are not able to adequately establish our brand in our marketplace, our operating results, market growth and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Potential for Defects in our Products and Services
 
Our Kiwibox.com website, its functionality, product offerings and services may contain defects or problems yet undetected.  Such defects or problems could delay the launch of our new Kiwibox.com website, generate negative public comment and inhibit marketplace acceptance, any one or more of which could have a material adverse affect on our operating results and financial condition.

Penny Stock Regulation
 
Our common shares are subject to the “penny stock rules” that require broker-dealers who sell our shares to make specific disclosures before selling to certain persons. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risk associated therewith as well as the written consent of the purchaser of such security prior to engaging in a penny stock transaction. These penny stock restrictions will continue to apply as long as the Company’s common stock continues to trade at market prices below $5.00. Investors should be aware that the regulations on penny stocks may significantly restrict the ability of any purchaser of our common shares to sell his or her Company common shares in the market.

Absence of Dividends
 
We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and we are not likely to do so in the foreseeable future. We presently intend to retain earnings for use in growing our business. We may pay for some of our future expansion through debt financing, in which case lenders traditionally prohibit the payment of any such dividends. Investors should be aware, therefore, that the Company intends to re-invest any earnings back into our business for the foreseeable future and that they should have no expectations of receiving any dividends on the common shares they may purchase.
 
ITEM 2:
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

We maintain offices for our Kiwibox operations at 330 W. 38th Street, Suite #1602, New York, New York 10018, consisting of approximately 1,600 square feet. We have a two-year lease expiring in August 2009, covering these offices and pay monthly rent of $5,136.

Recent Issues of  Unregistered Securities

During the fourth quarter of 2008 the Company issued the following unregistered securities:

1. We committed to issue 29,440,000 Units pursuant to subscription agreements with six accredited investors and received subscription proceeds of $736,000 during the fourth quarter. The subscription price for each Unit was $.025, with each Unit comprised of one restricted common share and one common stock purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable during a five year period at the exercise price of $.05 per warrant and contains a cashless exercise provision. Pursuant to these subscriptions, we had issued the 29,440,000 common shares.  The warrants had not yet been issued at December 31, 2008.

 
14

 

2. We also issued 2,000,000 warrants, exercisable during three years at prices between $0.06 and $0.085 to a consultant for services rendered.

3. We committed to issue 500,000 restricted common shares to an investor as loan origination fee in connection with the placement of a promissory note for $30,000 which funds were received during the fourth quarter.

All of the above offerings, sales and conversions were made in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, based on the following: (a) the investors confirmed to us that they were “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act; (b) the investors were all shareholders of or prior investors in, the Company, had pre-existing relationships with the Company and the Company did not engage in any general solicitation with respect to the offerings; (c) the investors acknowledged that all securities being purchased were “restricted securities” as defined under applicable securities laws, and agreed to transfer such securities only in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to available exemptions from such registration requirements; and (d) a legend was placed on the certificates representing each such security, disclosing that such securities are deemed restricted securities and could only be sold or otherwise transferred if registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to exemptions from such registration requirements.

Results of Operations for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2007

The Company had no material revenues during 2008 and 2007.  Its former ergonomic software – based business had been discontinued and the acquisition of Kiwibox Media Inc. had not yet matured to a stage where significant revenues could be generated. For the year ended December 31, 2008, total revenues amounted to $59,421 compared to $29,745 in 2007. Revenues were derived entirely from the Kiwibox operations.

Gross profits amounted to $22,413, after considering $37,008 in website hosting expenses.  After deducting selling -, research -, and general and administrative expenses of $6,229,283 compared to the $2,477,577 recorded in 2007, the Company realized an operating loss of $6,206,870 compared to an operating loss of $2,447,832 in 2007.  Included in SG&A expenses is a position of $3,138,751 attributable to the impairment of goodwill previously capitalized in connection with the acquisition of the Kiwibox business.

 
17

 
 
Management projected the discounted cash flow for the operations of the Company’s Kiwibox Media Inc. subsidiary, including the costs incurred by the Company’s Magnitude, Inc. subsidiary which has no own revenue basis but provides management, accounting, and investor relations and other professional services for the combined entity, over a period of five years. This analysis showed that the reliance on outside investors to provide needed additional funding to augment cash flow from operations would likely persist for a period in excess of one year. Management decided to write off the entire goodwill position because the willingness of outside investors to continue funding operations until positive cashflow can be realized, cannot be assured. A fair value of the Kiwibox subsidiary cannot be determined due to the fact that at this time this is essentially a start-up business with minimal revenues.
 
The major item included in non-operating income and expenses was a gain of $633,856 realized when certain promissory notes were converted into equity by the holders. In addition, we incurred a charge of approximately $76,000 in connection with the amortization of deferred financing costs and income of approximately $128,000 from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities.  The year concluded with a net loss of $5,493,764. After accounting for dividends accrued and discounts on outstanding preferred stock which totaled $51,332 the net loss applicable to common shareholders was $5,545,096 or $0.015 per share, compared to a loss of $3,935,133 or $0.016 per share for the previous year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our business with new debt and equity capital since our cash flow is insufficient to provide the working capital necessary to fund our operations. We recorded $2,346,000 in cash from subscriptions for new equity capital from accredited private investors during 2008. In addition, we received $220,000 from short-term loans. We have an urgent need for working capital to fund our operations. If we are unable to immediately receive new equity investments or obtain loans, we will not be able to fund our operations and we will be required to close our business.

Our deficit in working capital amounted to $5,148,331 at December 31, 2008, as compared to $5,826,532 at December 31, 2007.  Stockholders’ equity showed an impairment of $5,048,621 at the end of the year, compared to an impairment of $3,095,576 at the beginning of the year. The negative cash flow from operations totaled $2,799,214 and was substantially financed by new debt and equity which was obtained through private placements. The new equity placements were consummated by issuance of common stock and warrants to primarily foreign investors. Details of such transactions can be found in the “Changes and Issuance of Securities” sections in the Company’s quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q during the year, as well as in the pertinent section of this report.
 
We have no bank debt and aside from trade payables and accruals, our indebtedness at December 31, 2008, consisted of certain notes and loans aggregating approximately $320,000. The position “Obligations to be settled in stock” of $135,200 includes $106,000 for common shares due under consulting agreements, finance costs of $10,000 to be settled in common shares and $19,200 for services to be settled in common stock warrants, where the underlying securities had not yet been issued by year-end. Current liabilities also include $428,076 accrued unpaid dividends on outstanding preferred stock. Such dividends will be paid only if and when capital surplus and cash-flow from operations are sufficient to cover the outstanding amounts without thereby unduly impacting the Company’s ability to continue operating and growing its business.
 
Our current cash reserves and net cash flow from operations expected during the near future will be insufficient to fund our operations and website development and marketing plan over the next twelve months. We expect to fund these requirements with further investments in form of debt or equity capital and are in discussions with potential investors. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to identify a financing source or sources and if we do, whether the terms of such financing will be acceptable or commercially reasonable.

Absent the receipt of immediate equity investment or loans, we will be compelled to close our business operations. Assuming we can receive current funds to continue to operate our businesses, absent the receipt of this additional $3 million funding, our website development, results of operations and financial condition could be subject to material adverse consequences. There can be no assurance in such a case that we could find alternative funding for the working capital required to finance on-going operations. If we failed in these efforts, either by not receiving the investment commitments from Tell Capital AG or an alternative source, or we do not receive such funds in a timely manner, our management may be forced to effect severe cut-backs in our operations.

Subsequent Events – Fiscal Year 2009

During January and February 2009 we received an aggregate $500,000 working capital loans from an accredited investor, covered by convertible promissory notes carrying interest at 10% per year.

On January 29, 2009 the holders of a total 244,725,773 common shares, out of the 436,242,570 shares outstanding, in response to the Company’s Consent Solicitation, approved the following propositions:

Proposition No. 1: to increase the authorized common shares to 1,400,000,000 shares –
FOR: 241,941,210
AGAINST:  2,357,063
ABSTAIN:  427,500

Proposition No. 2: to ratify the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company to serve as the Company’s auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 –
FOR:  244,552,663
AGAINST:  66,565
ABSTAIN:  106,545
 
ITEM 7 A:
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is subject to certain market risks, for changes in financial market conditions. The Company does not undertake any special actions to limit those exposures. We do not have a significant interest rate risk because the interest on all our debt obligations is based on fixed rates in accordance with the terms of such indebtedness.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008. This 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 SEC that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
 
The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND CODE OF ETHICS

The Company has always been committed to good corporate governance. In furtherance of this commitment, during 2002 the Board of Directors expanded the duties of the Company’s Audit Committee by increasing the Committee's duties specifically to include responsibility and oversight of corporate governance matters and adherence to the Company’s Code of Ethics. A copy of the Corporate Code of Ethics and Conduct had been included as an exhibit to the Company’s report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Our Board of Directors has determined that two of its current members, Quentin Kelly and Joerg Otzen are independent under applicable securities laws.

Board Committees

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Company has appointed an Audit Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Audit Committee is currently comprised of the entire board of directors. Mr. Otzen and Mr. Klaube are financial experts with knowledge of financial statements, generally accepted accounting principles and accounting procedures and disclosure rules. Mr. Klaube is not “independent” as defined in Section10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act.

COMPENSATION AND NOMINATING COMMITTEES

Our board of directors intends to appoint such persons and form such committees as are required to meet the corporate governance requirements imposed by the national securities exchanges. Therefore, we intend that a majority of our directors will eventually be independent directors. Additionally, our board of directors is expected to appoint a nominating committee and a compensation committee, and to adopt charters relative to each such committee. Until further determination by the Board, the full Board of Directors will undertake the duties of the compensation committee and nominating committee.

ITEM 13: 
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

On January 2, 2007, the Company and a former employee, Steven W. Jagels settled a lawsuit commenced by Mr. Jagels against the Company based upon claims which included breach of his employment agreement. We agreed to make a payment of $20,040 to Mr. Jagels and to issue 3,000,000 common shares to him by January 7, 2007. We also agreed to include these shares in a registration statement and when declared effective by the SEC, to cause a buyer to purchase these shares from Mr. Jagels for $75,000 prior to February 28, 2007. The Company facilitated this payment and the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice.

In January 2007 we issued warrants for 3,125,000 shares, exercisable at $0.05 per share, to the former president and chief executive officer, in connection with a settlement agreement reached during the fourth quarter in 2006

In May 2007 the Company reached agreement with the former president and chief executive officer to the effect that, in return for issuance of 2,000,000 shares, he would issue a waiver with respect to the Company’s obligation for filing a registration statement for certain securities previously issued to him by the Company.

During 2008 and 2007, one outside director of the Company who also serves as the Company’s general and securities counsel, was paid an aggregate $256,800 and $127,000, respectively, for legal services. A former director was paid $30,000 and $20,000, respectively, during 2008 and 2007, for business consulting services.

During the second quarter in 2008, we paid $24,000 to a major shareholder for investor relations services.

In June 2008, we granted options for 2,500,000 shares, exercisable at $0.025 during five years, to four officers and directors of the Company.

In August, 2008, we issued an aggregate 30,560,000 restricted common shares to the three Kiwibox principals pursuant to our Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated February 19, 2007, and subsequent amendments,   as disclosed in our report and exhibit, filed on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2008.

On August 17, 2008, one of the three Kiwibox Shareholders resigned his employment. As part of this agreement, his outstanding stock options were cancelled and the consultant entered into an agreement that provided for his future services to the Company as an independent consultant for six months at $12,500 per month. On September 5, 2008, the Company reached a Settlement Agreement with the consultant whereby the Company forgave the balance of loans due from the former shareholder in the balance of $155,459 for $75,000 in cash and by offsetting of $75,000 of notes payable due to the former shareholder. The difference of $5,459 was treated as additional compensation. On October 30, 2008, the Company terminated its the employment agreement with Lin Dai for cause. In the process, his 10,300,000 stock options were cancelled. On December 8, 2008, Mr. Dai resigned his position as a member of the Company's Board of Directors. Since this resignation, the Company has been in negotiations with Lin Dai to acquire all of Mr. Dai's Company securities and resolve all potential claims of the parties. Although these negotiations have ceased, neither the Company nor Mr. Dai have formally instituted any claims against the other and it is not possible to determine whether any claims will be instigated, or if commenced, what the outcomes of any such litigation may be.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.   These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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. Our audits 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses and significant working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Organization
Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 19, 1988 under the name Fortunistics, Inc. On November 18, 1998, the Company changed its name to Magnitude Information Systems, Inc.

On August 16, 2007 the Company acquired all outstanding shares of Kiwibox Media, Inc.

The Company, its subsidiary Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media Inc. are separate legal entities, with Kiwibox Media, Inc. being a wholly owned subsidiary. The 1% of Magnitude, Inc. not owned by the Company constitutes a minority interest which is valued at $0. The operations of the combined entity are currently comprised almost exclusively of the operations of Kiwibox Media, Inc.

Prior to the implementation of its strategic business plan in 2007, the Company’s primary product was an integrated suite of proprietary software modules previously marketed under the name ErgoEnterprise™. During the latter half of fiscal year 2006, Company management concluded that the marketplace for the Company’s ergonomic software products was not developing, and would not develop to the material extent necessary in the next 12 to 24 months, to support and sustain the Company’s sales efforts. Accordingly, management determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to identify another business opportunity and pursue it for the benefit of our shareholders. On February 19, 2007, the Company, pursuant to its strategic plan to seek another business opportunity, signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the owners of a social networking website, to acquire their Kiwibox.com website and business, represented by Kiwibox Media, Inc. Pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, in August, 2007, Kiwibox Media, Inc. merged with and into Magnitude Operations, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc., in a “reverse merger” transaction. The three shareholders of Kiwibox Media, Inc. transferred and delivered all of the outstanding stock of Kiwibox Media, Inc. to Magnitude Operations, Inc. for cancellation and received in exchange shares of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. at closing. Also at closing and as a result of the merger, the separate legal existence of Magnitude Operations, Inc. ceased and Kiwibox Media, Inc. became the surviving corporation of the merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc.

Through our subsidiary, we own and operate “Kiwibox.com”, a social networking website for teens. Initially launched in 1999, Kiwibox.com is an online social networking website dedicated to teen users. The Kiwibox website provides online content in several categories, dedicated to teens, including entertainment, fashion and games. We have formed a user-based contingent of contributors that submit, review and comment upon content and articles from all over the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Kiwibox.com uses a “points” reward system for users, where a user may acquire elevated peer status and/or earn prizes which in many cases are provided by advertiser and/or sponsors. In August 2008 we had re-launched our website with increased functions.

Cash and cash equivalents
The Company accounts for cash and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media, Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

Depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation on equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements is computed on the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of such assets between 5-10 years or over the lease term, if shorter.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  Repairs and maintenance which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred.

Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.  Advertising expense was $74,073 and $6,717 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Evaluation of Long Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are assessed for recoverability on an ongoing basis.   In evaluating the fair value and future benefits of long-lived assets, their carrying value would be reduced by the excess, if any, of the long-lived asset over management’s estimate of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived asset.

Securities Issued for Services
The Company accounts for stock, stock options and stock warrants issued for services and compensation by employees under the fair value method.  For non-employees, the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of stock issuance or option/grant is used.  The Company has determined the fair market value of the warrants/options issued under the Black-Scholes Pricing Model. The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123(R), SHARE-BASED PAYMENT, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee's requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).
 
Reclassification of certain securities under EITF 00-19
Pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 00-19, if a company has more than one contract subject to this Issue, and partial reclassification is required, there may be different methods that could be used to determine which contracts, or portions of contracts, should be reclassified. The Company’s method for reclassification of such contracts is reclassification of contracts with the latest maturity date first.

Capitalization of Software /Website development costs
The Company capitalized outside-contracted development work in accordance with the guidelines published under EITF 00-2, Accounting for Web Site Development Costs, adopted during the quarter ended March 31, 2008.  Under EITF 00-2, costs incurred during the planning stage are expensed, while costs relating to software used to operate a web site or for developing initial graphics should be accounted for under SOP 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, unless a plan exists or is being developed to market the software externally. Under SOP 98-1, internal and external costs incurred to develop internal-use computer software during the application development stage should be capitalized. Costs to develop or obtain software that allows for access or conversion of old data by new systems should also be capitalized, excluding training costs. Fees incurred for web site hosting, which involve the payment of a specified, periodic fee to an Internet service provider in return for hosting the web site on its server(s) connected to the Internet, are expensed over the period of benefit, and included in cost of sales in the accompanying financial statements. A total of $64,650 was capitalized for web-site development work during the twelve months ended December 31, 2008.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Under FASB Statement No. 157, a framework was established for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Since the number of shares issuable under the Company’s Series G convertible preferred stock was indeterminable during the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, the Company measured the fair value of the obligation for warrants and options granted to non-employees during the year ended December 31, 2008 and outstanding at December 31, 2008. The value at December 31, 2008 was determined to be $3,330,812, measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) under a Black-Scholes valuation method. The change in value during the twelve months period was $128,159 reported in the Statement of Operations under Other Income (Expense).

The Company adopted the provisions of Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 159,  "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial  Liabilities", which included and amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 with respect to improvement of financial  reporting of certain  investments  in debt and  equity  securities.  This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The implementation of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008.

Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the Company’s income tax return.  Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes.  Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial- and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset.

Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period.  Common Stock equivalents have not been included in this computation since the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue recognition policy for software sales is in accordance with Accounting Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2 “Software Revenue Recognition” and SOP 98-9 “Software Revenue recognition” which modifies SOP 97-2. Revenue is recognized at the time of licensing provided that the resulting receivable is deemed probable of collection and is fixed or determinable. Revenue from software maintenance contracts is recognized ratably as earned. When a sales contract includes multiple elements, revenues are allocated to the various elements based on Company-specific objective evidence of fair value, regardless of any separate prices for each element that may be stated within the contract.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

The Company’s revenue from its KiwiBox Media, Inc. subsidiary derives from advertising on the KiwiBox website. Most contracts require the Company to deliver the customer impressions, click-throughs or new customers, or some combination thereof. Accordingly, advertising revenue is estimated and recognized for the period in which customer impressions, click through or new customers are delivered. Licensing or hosting revenue consists of an annual contract with clients to provide web-site hosting and assistance.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for its goodwill and intangible assets pursuant to SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".  Under SFAS 142, intangibles with definite lives continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or contractual terms.  Goodwill and intangibles with  indefinite  lives  are  evaluated  at least  annually  for  impairment  by comparing the asset's  estimated  fair value with its carrying  value,  based on cash flow methodology.

The Company’s intangible assets including goodwill are subject to impairment testing in the event of certain indicators.  Impairment in the carrying value of an asset is recognized whenever anticipated future cash flows (undiscounted) from an asset are estimated to be less than its carrying value.  The amount of the impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value.

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

2.
GOING CONCERN
The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on increasing sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. In their report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, our auditors have made reference to the fact that, as a result of the losses incurred, there was substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans are to continue seeking equity and debt capital until cash flow from operations cover funding needs.

3.
CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK

The Company maintains cash balances in a financial institution which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.  Balances in these accounts may, at times, exceed the federally insured limits. At December 31, 2008, cash balances in bank accounts did not exceed this limit. The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers located throughout the U.S. and overseas.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

Amortization of deferred financing costs was $539,597 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

6.
GOODWILL

On August 16, 2007, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of KiwiBox Media, Inc. The total initial purchase price of $2,850,273 was calculated as follows: we issued 30,000,000 restricted common shares based on a total value of $1,500,000 determined by the lower of $0.05 per share and the average sales price of the Company’s common stock for the ten (10) successive trading days immediately preceding the closing, 43,610 shares of our Series G Preferred Stock worth $500,000, paid $450,000 in cash to the three KiwiBox owners, and incurred $57,500 in acquisition fees. In addition, based on the initial Agreement and Plan of Reorganization from February 2007, the Company committed to investing $3.5 million for the operations of Kiwibox. Based on an amendment in July 2007, in the event that certain investment tranches were not made by their respective due dates, the Company agreed to issue 60,000 restricted shares to the former shareholders of Kiwibox for each day that the funds were in arrears. The Company estimated the fair value of this pre-acquisition contingency as of the acquisition date based on the present value of the total expected liability at a discount rate of 5%, with an accreted value of $295,800 at June 30, 2008 (current period value of $3,027 was charged to operations, so net increase in purchase price was $292,773). In February 2008, the Company entered into another amendment that superseded the provisions of amendments in December 2007, whereby the Company agreed to issue 20 million reset shares, valued at $200,000, and a promissory note for $225,000, and $250,000 cash penalties ($100,000 paid in 2007, $150,000 paid in 2008) as additional consideration due to the delays in financing, which increased the value of Goodwill at March 31, 2008. This additional consideration eliminated the requirement for penalty shares to continue accruing, as long as the Company received $1.5 million in financing by March 7, 2008, and invested $700,000 in Kiwibox operations. This financing was received in a timely fashion. The amendment also provided the former shareholders of Kiwibox the option to receive the value of the reset shares in common stock options of equivalent value. To date, all of the penalty shares have been issued. The promissory note for $225,000 had subsequently been reduced by $75,000 in connection with a settlement agreement reached with one of the former shareholders of Kiwibox (see Note 13), and the remaining $150,000 was paid during the last quarter of 2008.

Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

GOODWILL (continued)

The excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired had been previously recognized as Goodwill in the amount of $3,138,751.
 
Management projected the discounted cash flow for the operations of the Company’s Kiwibox Media Inc. subsidiary, including the costs incurred by the Company’s Magnitude, Inc. subsidiary which has no own revenue basis but provides management, accounting, and investor relations and other professional services for the combined entity, over a period of five years. This analysis showed that the reliance on outside investors to provide needed additional funding to augment cash flow from operations would likely persist for a period in excess of one year. Management decided to write off the entire goodwill position because the willingness of outside investors to continue funding operations until positive cash flow can be realized, cannot be assured. A fair value of the Kiwibox subsidiary cannot be determined due to the fact that at this time this is essentially a start-up business with minimal revenues.

The warrants were valued at $30,311 using a Black-Scholes model, with the following assumptions: volatility - 169%, dividends – none, risk-free rate – 2.1%. In addition, in January 2008, the Company converted the $100,000 deposit recorded previously as deferred revenue into equity on behalf of the depositor by issuing 2,000,000 restricted common shares and 2,000,000 five-year common stock warrants with an exercise price of $0.07 per share. The warrants were valued at $36,051 using a Black-Scholes model, with the following assumptions: volatility - 169%, dividends – none, risk-free rate – 2.6%. This issuance resulted in a gain on extinguishment of this liability of $23,949 based on the fair value of the shares delivered in settlement.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

In April 1996, Magnitude, Inc. adopted its 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (“the 1996 Plan”).  The 1996 Plan provides that certain options granted thereunder are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” (ISO) within the meaning of Section 422A of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, while non-qualified options may also be granted under the Plan.  The initial plan and subsequent amendments provided for authorization of up to 480,000 shares.  Pursuant to the above described stock exchange offer on July 2, 1997, all options under the 1996 Plan were converted into shares of the Company at a rate of 3.4676 shares of Magnitude, Inc. to 1 share of the Company.

In September 1997, the Company adopted its 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (“the 1997 Plan”).  The 1997 Plan provides that certain options granted thereunder are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” (ISO) within the meaning of Section 422A of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, while non-qualified options may also be granted under the Plan.  The initial plan and subsequent amendments provided for the grant of options for up to 1,000,000 shares.  The purchase price per share of common stock deliverable upon exercise of each ISO shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date such option is granted.  If an ISO is issued to an individual who owns, at the time of grant, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the Company’s common stock, the exercise price of such option shall be at least 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and the term of the option shall not exceed five years from the date of grant.  The purchase price of shares subject to non-qualified stock options shall be determined by a committee established by the Board of Directors with the condition that such prices shall not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at the time of grant.

In May 2000 the Company adopted its 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (“the 2000 Plan”).  The 2000 Plan provides that certain options granted thereunder are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” (ISO) within the meaning of Section 422A of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, while nonqualified options may also be granted under the Plan.  The initial Plan provides for the grant of options for up to 5,000,000 shares.  The purchase price per share of common stock deliverable upon exercise of each ISO shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date such option is granted.  If an ISO is issued to an individual who owns, at the time of grant, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the Company’s common stock, the exercise price of such option shall be at least 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant, and the term of the option shall not exceed five years from the date of grant.  The purchase price of shares subject to non-qualified stock options shall be determined by a compensation committee established by the Board of Directors.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On January 2, 2007, the Company and a former employee, Steven W. Jagels settled a lawsuit commenced by Mr. Jagels against the Company based upon claims which included breach of his employment agreement. We agreed to make a payment of $20,040 to Mr. Jagels and to issue 3,000,000 common shares to him by January 7, 2007. We also agreed to include these shares in a registration statement and when declared effective by the SEC, to cause a buyer to purchase these shares from Mr. Jagels for $75,000 prior to February 28, 2007. At the time of this report, the law suit has been settled.

In January 2007 we issued warrants for 3,125,000 shares, exercisable at $0.05 per share, to the former president and chief executive officer, in connection with a settlement agreement reached during the fourth quarter in 2006.

In May 2007 the Company reached agreement with the former president and chief executive officer to the effect that, in return for issuance of 2,000,000 shares, he would issue a waiver with respect to the Company’s obligation for filing a registration statement for certain securities previously issued to him by the Company.

During the year ended December 31, 2008 one outside director of the Company who also serves as the Company’s general and securities counsel, was paid an aggregate $256,800 for legal services. At December 31, 2008, the Company owed this director $313,570.  Another outside director was paid $30,000 during the second quarter in 2008, for business consulting services.

During the second quarter in 2008, we paid $24,000 to a major shareholder for investor relations services.

In August, 2008, we issued an aggregate 30,560,000 restricted common shares to the three Kiwibox principals pursuant to our Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated February 19, 2007, and subsequent amendments, as disclosed in our report and exhibit, filed on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2008.

On August 17, 2008, one of the three Kiwibox Shareholders resigned his employment. As part of this agreement, his outstanding stock options were cancelled and the consultant entered into an agreement that provided for his future services to the Company as an independent consultant for six months at $12,500 per month. On September 5, 2008, the Company reached a Settlement Agreement with the consultant whereby the Company forgave the balance of loans due from the former shareholder in the balance of $155,459 for $75,000 in cash and by offsetting of $75,000 of notes payable due to the former shareholder. The difference of $5,459 was treated as additional compensation.

On October 30, 2008, the Company terminated its the employment agreement with Lin Dai for cause. On December 8, 2008, Mr. Dai resigned his position as a member of the Company's Board of Directors. Since this resignation, the Company has been in negotiations with Lin Dai to acquire all of Mr. Dai's Company securities and resolve all potential claims of the parties. Although these negotiations have ceased, neither the Company nor Mr. Dai have formally instituted any claims against the other and it is not possible to determine whether any claims will be instigated, or if commenced, what the outcomes of any such litigation may be.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, long-term debt and capitalized lease obligations: The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short term maturity of these instruments.

Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information and information about the financial instrument.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In September 2006, the FASB released SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), which defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Although SFAS 157 applies to (and amends) the provisions of existing authoritative literature, it does not, of itself, require any new fair value measurements or establish valuation standards. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of SFAS 157 did have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In February, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("SFAS 159"), which creates an alternative measurement treatment for certain financial assets and financial liabilities. SFAS 159 permits fair value to be used for both the initial and subsequent measurements on an instrument by instrument basis, with changes in the fair value to be recognized in earnings as those changes occur. This election is referred to as the fair value option. SFAS 159 also requires additional disclosures to compensate for the lack of comparability that will arise from the use of the fair value option. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The fair value option has not been elected for any financial assets or liabilities at December 31, 2008.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations ("SFAS 141R"), which replaced FASB Statement 141, Business Combination, which changes the accounting for business combinations and non-controlling interests. Among other things, when compared to the predecessor guidance SFAS 141R will require (i) more assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at fair value as of the acquisition date, (ii) liabilities related to contingent consideration to be remeasured to fair value each subsequent reporting period, and (iii) acquirer in preacquisition periods to expense all acquisition-related costs. SFAS 141R must be applied prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We do not expect adoption of SFAS 141R to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an Amendment of ARB No. 51 ("SFAS 160"), which changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS 160 must be adopted no later than January 1, 2009. We do not expect adoption of SFAS 160 to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 ("SFAS 161"), which requires enhanced disclosures about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended ("SFAS 133") and its related interpretations and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We do not expect adoption of SFAS 161 to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In June 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued No. 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities ("EITF 03-6-1"), which addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share ("EPS") under the two-class method. EITF 03-6-1 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. All prior-period EPS data presented will be adjusted retrospectively to conform to the provisions of EITF 03-6-1. We are evaluating the expected impact of adoption of EITF 03-6-1.

Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)
 
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132 R-1, Employers' Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets ("FAS 132R-1"), which provides guidance on an employer's disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan and requires employers to provide more transparency about the assets held by retirement plan and the concentrations of risk in those plans. FAS 132 R-1 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of FAS 132 R-1 to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 29, 2009 the holders of a total 244,725,773 common shares, out of the 436,242,570 shares outstanding, in response to the Company’s Consent Solicitation, approved the following propositions:
