NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2009

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows:

General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. However, the results from operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended March 31, 2010. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated March 31, 2009 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Business and basis of Presentation

Global Investor Services, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on August 10, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On September 16, 2006, the Company changed its name to TheRetirementSolution.Com, Inc. and on October 1, 2008 to Global Investor Services, Inc. The Company currently markets directly and through its marketing partners as well as online, certain investor products and services that provide financial and educational information to its prospective customers and to its subscribers. During the year ended March 31, 2008, the Company transitioned from a development stage enterprise to an operating company. While the Company has generated revenues from its sale of products, the Company has incurred expenses, and sustained losses. Consequently, its operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. As of September 30, 2009, the Company has accumulated losses of $55,503,122.

On August 30, 2006, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Voxpath Holdings, Inc. (“Voxpath”). Prior to the merger, Voxpath was an inactive corporation with no significant assets and liabilities. As a result of the Agreement, there was a change in control of the public entity. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 805-10, Business Combinations (“ASC 805-10), Voxpath was the acquiring entity. While the transaction is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, in substance the Agreement is a recapitalization of Voxpath’s capital structure. For accounting purposes, the Company accounted for the transaction as a reverse acquisition and Voxpath is the surviving entity. The value of the net assets acquired was $0. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the transaction. Effective with the Agreement, all previously outstanding shares of common stock were exchanged for an aggregate of 99,999,998 shares of the Company’s common stock. The value of the stock issued was the historical cost of the Company’s net tangible assets, which did not differ materially from their fair value. The total consideration paid was $86,135.

During the year ended March 31, 2008, the Company acquired Investment Tools and Training, LLC (“ITT); a Utah limited liability company founded on November 9, 2006 and Razor Data, LLC (“Razor”); a Utah limited liability company formed July 23, 2002.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Voxpath Holdings, Inc., ITT and Razor. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Acquisition of ITT

On January 15, 2008, the Company completed the purchase of all the outstanding membership interests of ITT. The total purchase price was $18,650,000, consisting of an aggregate of 66,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and the issuance of convertible promissory notes of $2,000,000.

An aggregate of 54,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was issued at the time of closing with the remaining 12,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued over a four year period. The common stock, valued at the date of closing, was $16,650,000 and was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The promissory notes bear interest at 6% per annum, mature on April 15, 2009 and convert, at the holders’ option, at a conversion price of $0.25 per share (Refer Note 7).

In accordance with ASC 805-10, the purchase method of accounting was used to account for the acquisition of ITT. The results of operations of ITT have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Losses since the date of acquisition.
 
In accordance with ASC 805-10, the total purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value, as determined by management, of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as follows:
 
Cash
 
$
83,807
 
Current assets acquired
   
32,832
 
Software

(100,000
)
Goodwill acquired
   
16,957,361
 
Total purchase price
 
$
18,650,000
 

The Company identified software as identifiable intangible assets with estimated life of 3 years.

Goodwill in the amount of $16,957,361 represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and their associated costs and expenses.

Acquisition of Razor

On January 15, 2008, the Company completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Razor and assumed specified liabilities. The total purchase price was $12,500,000, consisting of an aggregate of 38,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and the issuance of convertible promissory notes of $3,000,000.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue Recognition

For revenue from product sales and services, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. ASC 605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arraignments (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing 605-25 on the Company's financial position and results of operations was not significant.

Revenue arises from subscriptions to the websites/software, workshops, online workshops and training and coaching/counseling services where the payments are received before the service has been rendered. Beginning January 1, 2009, the company changed its marketing strategy such that the company no longer collects revenues in advance of rendering services.  Instead, for all new customers, a monthly subscription fee is received for access to the online training and courses and website/data during a given month.  As all the products and services are delivered during the month, the revenues are recognized in the month it is delivered.   All revenues collected in prior periods from the legacy marketing strategy are deferred and recognized as per the existing revenue recognition policy. Additionally, any revenues from services such as coaching/counseling that are sold in advance of delivery will be deferred using the existing revenue recognition policy. Thus we have two distinct revenue models that were used during FY 2009 and revenue under either model will be recognized under its appropriate model. The company reserves the option to operate under either model as the business environment dictates.

 We sell our products separately and in various bundles that contain multiple deliverables that include website/data subscriptions, educational workshops, online workshops and training, one-on-one coaching and counseling sessions, along with other products and services. In accordance with 605-25, sales arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into separate units of accounting if the deliverables in the arrangement meet the following criteria: (i) the product has value to the customer on a standalone basis; (ii) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items; and (iii) delivery or performances of any undelivered item is probable and substantially in our control. The fair value of each separate element is generally determined by prices charged when sold separately. In certain arrangements, we offer these products bundled together.  If there is any discount from the combined fair value of the individual elements, the discount is allocated to the portion of the revenues that is attributed to the online courses and training. As per 605-25, if fair value of all undelivered elements in an arrangement exists, but fair value does not exist for a delivered element, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee (after allocation of 100 percent of any discount to the delivered item) is recognized as revenue.  The deferral policy for each of the different types of revenues is summarized as follows:

  Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $20,231 and $2,545 for the six months period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Research and Development

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. For the six month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s expenditures on research and product development were immaterial.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year’s financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805-10.  The Company assigns to all identifiable assets acquired (including intangible assets), and to all identifiable liabilities assumed, a portion of the cost of the acquired company equal to the estimated fair value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. The Company records the excess of the cost of the acquired company over the sum of the amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed, if any, as goodwill.

As a result of the acquisitions of ITT and Razor on January 15, 2008, the Company acquired intangible assets in the aggregate amount of $30,652,920.

The Company allocated $2,920,000 and $499,747 to identifiable intangible assets including a developed software and customer lists, respectively. The remaining $27,233,173 was allocated to goodwill.
 
The Company amortized its identifiable intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit.  The estimated useful lives of the developed software and the customer lists are three years. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets and takes into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or indicate that impairment exists.

The Company accounts for and reports acquired goodwill and other intangible assets under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 305-10, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other (“ASC 305-10”). In accordance with ASC 305-10, the Company tests its intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and when there is reason to suspect that their values have been diminished or impaired. Any write-downs will be included in results from operations.

Total identifiable intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of ITT and Razor and their carrying values at September 30, 2009 are:

The Company does not amortize goodwill. The Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $27,233,173 as a result of the acquisition of Razor Data & IT during the year ended March 31, 2008.

During the year ended March 31, 2009 the Company management performed an evaluation of its goodwill for purposes of determining the implied fair value of the assets at March 31, 2009. The test indicated that the recorded remaining book value of its goodwill exceeded its fair value for the year ended March 31, 2009.  As a result, upon completion of the assessment, management recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $27,233,173, net of tax, or $0.11 per share during the year ended March 31, 2009 to reduce the carrying value of the goodwill to $0. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value.  Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from management’s estimates.

Impairment of long lived assets

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of is reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company periodically reviews its trade receivables in determining its allowance for doubtful accounts. There were no trade receivables as of September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009.

Website Development Costs

The Company recognizes website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 350-50, Website Development Costs ("ASC 350-50”). As such, the Company expenses all costs incurred that relate to the planning and post implementation phases of development of its website. Direct costs incurred in the development phase are capitalized and recognized over the estimated useful life. Costs associated with repair or maintenance for the website are included in cost of net revenues in the current period expenses. During the six month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not capitalize any costs associated with the website development.

Software Development Costs

The Company accounts for software development costs intended for sale in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 985-20, Cost of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed (“ASC 985-20”). ASC 985-20 requires product development costs to be charged to expense as incurred until technological feasibility is attained and all other research and development activities for the hardware components of the product have been completed. Technological feasibility is attained when the planning, design and testing phase related to the development of the Company’s software has been completed and the software has been determined viable for its intended use, which typically occurs when beta testing commences.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
Effective for the year beginning January 1, 2006, the Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to a Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on the estimated fair values.

Segment Information

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic Segment Reporting 280-10 (“ASC 280-10”) establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company’s principal operating segment.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 220-10, Comprehensive Income (“ASC 220-10”). ASC 220-10 establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components.

Loss per Share

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”) that specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Stock options and warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalents in the diluted earnings per share because they are either antidilutive, or their effect is not material.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
With the exception of those stated below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Annual Report that are of material significance, or have potential material significance, to the Company.
 
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.
 
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall (“ASC 820-10”) with respect to its financial assets and liabilities. In February 2008, the FASB issued updated guidance related to fair value measurements, which is included in the Codification in ASC 820-10-55, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall – Implementation Guidance and Illustrations. The updated guidance provided a one year deferral of the effective date of ASC 820-10 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. Therefore, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820-10 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities effective January 1, 2009, and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
 
Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-65, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall – Transition and Open Effective Date Information (“ASC 820-10-65”). ASC 820-10-65 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10 when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased. ASC 820-10-65 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The adoption of ASC 820-10-65 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 825-10-65, Financial Instruments – Overall – Transition and Open Effective Date Information (“ASC 825-10-65”). ASC 825-10-65 amends ASC 825-10 to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements and also amends ASC 270-10 to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements. The adoption of ASC 825-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
 
Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 855-10, Subsequent Events – Overall (“ASC 855-10”). ASC 855-10 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date – that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This disclosure should alert all users of financial statements that an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of financial statements being presented. Adoption of ASC 855-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 16, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued.
 
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 provided amendments to ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of a liability. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. Adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (amendments to FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition) (“ASU 2009-13”) and ASU 2009-14, Certain Arrangements That Include Software Elements, (amendments to FASB ASC Topic 985, Software) (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-14 removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are covered by the scope of the software revenue guidance. ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2009-13 or ASU 2009-14 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

5. ADVANCES

The Company received advances of $239,562 on July 7, 2008, $310,000 on September 4, 2008 and $450,000 on November 3, 2008 to finance future marketing activities. The advances are payable at 120% from each marketing event of the Company with the proceeds or if proceeds are insufficient, from other marketing events or revenues of the Company each at six months from the date of the advance. In the event the Company does not pay off the advances by January 9, 2009 and February 4, 2009; the remaining balance is converted to a six month, interest free secured convertible debentures. The debentures are convertible into the Company’s common stock at $0.10 per share and are secured by 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The financing costs of $199,912 are amortized ratably over a six month term. During the six month period ended September 30, 2009, the Company had charged to current period operations $5,910 as amortization of financing costs

On March 31, 2009, the Company issued a convertible debenture of $1,000,000 as payment of the above advances. The convertible note is due on July 31, 2011 with interest at 20% per annum, due at maturity. The note is convertible at $0.08, unsecured. (See note 7 below)

6. NOTES PAYABLE

A summary of notes payable at September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009 are as follows:

Convertible Promissory Note

In August 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to borrow $250,000 in exchange for a Convertible Promissory Note (Convertible Note). The Convertible Note included interest at 10% compounded semiannually, due and payable in five equal installments of $50,000 through December 2005.

The Company will pay from the proceeds of a Private Placement, 10% of the first $500,000 of funds raised and 20% of the next $500,000 raised, for a total of $150,000. The remaining balance will be due on December 31, 2007, including interest at 10% compounding semi-annually. If the Private Placement raises less than $1,000,000 by October 2006, the Company will pay 10% of all additional capital raised by the Company. If no Private Placement Offering is circulated, the balance will be due immediately. Additionally, as consideration for his forbearance, the Company granted the Noteholder 500,000 shares (411,523 shares after pre-merger adjustment) of the Company’s common stock which was issued to him on April 24, 2006.

Warrants granted during the year ended March 31, 2009 totaling 2,000,000 were issued in connection with promissory note payable.  The warrants are exercisable until five years after the date of issuance at a purchase price of $0.01 per share.  The fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Method with the following assumptions: dividend yield: -0-%; volatility: 138.87%, risk free interest rate: 1.48%
 
 On July 31, 2009, warrants totaling 17,150,006 were issued in connection with issuance of Convertible Promissory Notes. The warrants are exercisable for three years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.05 per share.  The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes option pricing method with the following assumptions:  dividend yield $-0-, volatility of 149.90% and risk free rate from 2.53%.  As described in Note 9 above, these warrants contain certain reset provisions for the first year which require the Company to classify the market value of the warrants outside of equity.

17.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

17.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (continued)

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
 
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Upon adoption of ASC 825-10, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings and no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (Including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.
 
Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements consisted of the cash, other current assets, warrant liability and reset derivative liability. Convertible debentures were determined at a net discount rate of 2% per annum for the terms of the notes:

18. GOING CONCERN MATTERS
 
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $55,503,122 at September 30, 2009 which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional capital and upon the Company’s attaining profitable operations. The Company will require a substantial amount of additional funds to complete the development of its products, to build a sales and marketing organization, and to fund additional losses which the Company expects to incur over the next few years. The management of the Company intends to seek additional funding through a Private Placement Offering which will be utilized to fund product development and continue operations. The Company recognizes that, if it is unable to raise additional capital, it may find it necessary to substantially reduce or cease operations.
 
19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In October 2009 the Company issued 200,000 sahres for consulting services rendered.

Subsequent events have been evaluated through November 16, 2009, a date that the financial statements were issued.

Background

The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 1, 2005. On August 30, 2006, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Voxpath Holdings, Inc. (“Voxpath”). Prior to the merger, Voxpath was an inactive corporation with no significant assets and liabilities.  On September 16, 2006, the Company changed its name to TheRetirementSolution.Com, Inc.  Effective October 1, 2008, the Company changed its name to Global Investor Services, Inc.

The Company currently markets directly and through its marketing partners as well as online, certain investor products and services that provide financial and educational information to its prospective customers and to its subscribers. During the year ended March 31, 2008, the Company transitioned from a development stage enterprise to an operating company.

On January 15, 2008, the Company completed the purchase of all the outstanding membership interests of ITT. The total purchase price was $18,650,000, consisting of an aggregate of 66,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and the issuance of convertible promissory notes of $2,000,000. On January 15, 2008, the Company completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Razor Data and assumed specified liabilities. The total purchase price was $12,500,000, consisting of an aggregate of 38,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and the issuance of convertible promissory notes of $3,000,000. 
 
Plan of Operations
 
The Company is executing its marketing strategy through direct-to-market campaigns with its marketing partners and through the internet where it delivers investor products and services. The Company’s target market is comprised of a large base of entry level investors, active investors in the on-line brokerage sector and higher-end users of financial information, services and financial news.

The Company’s marketing strategy is designed to grow the business and to deliver high customer value in education and investor services at the lowest possible cost. These goals will be achieved through on-line customer acquisition, product sales and customer service, and on-line education and services delivery.

Customer acquisition is realized via the company’s marketing partners and through on-line marketing. Our partners have the marketing and operations capability to attract customers by way of  low cost introductory courses and products which then allows for upsell opportunities to a complete on-line education curriculum and expanded investor services. Customer service is supported by a comprehensive client management system that tracks the customer throughout the purchase, education and added services cycle which also includes live data feeds, news and investment letters.

On-line education delivery is completed starting with early stage courses through a complete curriculum of learning modules, podcasts, webinars and webisodes. In addition, our customer management system follows every student at this level in the form of surveys, competency assessments, learning assignments, hotline, coaching and mentoring.

The Company has a number of different delivery formats that is focused on a structured investing methodology that focuses on searching for an investment, industry group analysis, fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and portfolio management. The objective is to provide a complete investor education experience for both beginning and experienced investors and to help them better understand the investment decision process.

The company’s longer term goals include the expansion to other markets beyond the United States. The comprehensive investor education curriculum and related investor services will be marketed and delivered on-line in target markets principally via joint venture arrangements in other countries.

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $291,226 which represented a $450,341 decrease from revenue of $741,567 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  Revenue in the past quarter was below forecast primarily due to the continuation of the economic crisis and the upheaval in the markets. While the company was able to attract consumers to its direct marketing efforts in the past months, there appeared to be a general lack of consumer confidence as we observed that potential clients at our events were reluctant to spend on Investor Education during this difficult and unsettled period.
 
In this reporting quarter the company also emerged from its concerted effort, which it began in earnest last December and which it completed in April, to re-structure and convert all marketing activities, course content and delivery, investor tools and customer service to an On-Line Business Model. Our business strategy is now based on GIS’s broad based online capability to effectively execute our direct marketing as well as our partner campaigns on-line.

Our revenue model has been transformed from a single point-of-sale event to a recurring revenue stream via subscriptions. By eliminating both the high cost event based marketing model and the high logistics costs of supporting live events, our operating margins are expected to be substantially higher.  This on-line offering reduces the up-front customer cost, produces higher buyer conversion rates, increases retention rates and further increases customer value since we give immediate full access to all our products and services.

Having completed the conversion to full online capability, we began executing our online customer campaigns in May and we continue to see positive consumer response through June. The campaigns are continuing along with new online webinar initiatives and we look forward to building on what we believe is a robust online business system.

Cost of sales:

Cost of sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 was $196,157 (67.4% of sales) as compared to $728,694 (98.3% of sales) for the same period last year.  The primary reason for this decrease is our transition to our recurring revenue stream.  Our gross profit was $95,069 as compared to $12,873 for same period last year.  The primary reason for the improved margins is form this transition.

During the six months ended September 30, 2009, we issued convertible promissory notes and related warrants that contain certain reset provisions requiring us to fair value both the warrants and reset derivative each reporting period and mark to market as a non cash adjustment to our current period operations.  This resulted in a charge to our current period operations of $1,912,030.

Our net interest and other decreased from $887,510 to $525,113 due to debt conversions and lower interest rates with any replacement notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,319,879. The Company generated a deficit in cash flow from operating activities of $688,999 for the six month period September 30, 2009. This deficit is primarily attributable to the Company's net loss from operations of $5,818,122 and is partially offset by following: A charge for the value of options issued for services of $487,715, recognition of an imbedded beneficial conversion of convertible debentures of $146,607, change in fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities of $1,912,029, stock issued for services of $932,762, amortization of financing costs of $67,962, amortization and depreciation expense of $469,070, and changes in the balances of current assets and liabilities. Employee advances, unbilled revenue and other current assets decreased by $64,033, net. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $613,027 and deferred revenue decreased by $47,587, net.

The Company did not generate any cash flow from investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2009.

The Company’s generated a cash flow from financing activities for the six month period ended September 30, 2009 through proceeds from borrowing on convertible promissory notes of $1,015,970, net with related party advance repayments of $99,450.

While we have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past, additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow deficits from operations and development. We are seeking financing, which may take the form of debt, convertible debt or equity, in order to provide the necessary working capital. There can be no assurance that future financings will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available to us on acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue our operations.

 
45

 

We estimate that during the next twelve months we will need approximately $1,000,000 in additional capital to fully implement our business plan. Our business plan encompasses investing behind our business development strategy, our marketing campaigns and in building our business operations. As of the date of this filing, we have minimal operating capital to continue our business and marketing initiatives for the next twelve months. If we are not successful in generating sufficient cash flow from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources to finance our growth, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, we will have to adjust our planned operations and development on a more limited scale and, ultimately, may cease to continue our business.

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial statements; we believe the following critical accounting policy involves the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments.

Revenue Recognition

For revenue from product sales and services, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. ASC 605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arraignments (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing 605-25 on the Company's financial position and results of operations was not significant.

Revenue arises from subscriptions to the websites/software, workshops, online workshops and training and coaching/counseling services where the payments are received before the service has been rendered. Beginning January 1, 2009, the company changed its marketing strategy such that the company no longer collects revenues in advance of rendering services.  Instead, for all new customers, a monthly subscription fee is received for access to the online training and courses and website/data during a given month.  As all the products and services are delivered during the month, the revenues are recognized in the month it is delivered.   All revenues collected in prior periods from the legacy marketing strategy are deferred and recognized as per the existing revenue recognition policy. Additionally, any revenues from services such as coaching/counseling that are sold in advance of delivery will be deferred using the existing revenue recognition policy. Thus we have two distinct revenue models that were used during FY 2009 and revenue under either model will be recognized under its appropriate model. The company reserves the option to operate under either model as the business environment dictates.

We sell our products separately and in various bundles that contain multiple deliverables that include website/data subscriptions, educational workshops, online workshops and training, one-on-one coaching and counseling sessions, along with other products and services. In accordance with 605-25, sales arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into separate units of accounting if the deliverables in the arrangement meet the following criteria: (i) the product has value to the customer on a standalone basis; (ii) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items; and (iii) delivery or performances of any undelivered item is probable and substantially in our control. The fair value of each separate element is generally determined by prices charged when sold separately. In certain arrangements, we offer these products bundled together.  If there is any discount from the combined fair value of the individual elements, the discount is allocated to the portion of the revenues that is attributed to the online courses and training. As per 605-25, if fair value of all undelivered elements in an arrangement exists, but fair value does not exist for a delivered element, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee (after allocation of 100 percent of any discount to the delivered item) is recognized as revenue.  The deferral policy for each of the different types of revenues is summarized as follows:

Product
  
Recognition Policy
Live Workshops and Workshop Certificates
 
Deferred and recognized as the workshop is provided or certificate expires
Online training and courses
 
Deferred and recognized a.) as the services are delivered, or b.) when usage thresholds are met, or c.) on a straight-line basis over the initial product period
Coaching/Counseling services
 
Deferred and recognized as services are delivered, or on a straight-line basis over the term of the service contract
Website/data fees (monthly)
 
Not Deferred, recognized in the month delivered
Website/data fees (pre-paid subscriptions)
 
Deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the subscription period

As of September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the Company’s deferred revenue was $60,461 and $108,048, respectively

Stock-Based Compensation
 
Effective for the year beginning January 1, 2006, the Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to a Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on the estimated fair values.

The company adopted ASC 718-10 using the modified prospective transition method, which required the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006. The company's Financial Statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2007 reflects the impact of ASC 718-10. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the company's Financial Statements for the prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include the impact of ASC 718-10. Stock based compensation expense recognized under ASC 718-10 for the year ended March 31, 2007 was $1,440,776.

For the six month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company granted an aggregate of 8,500,000 and -0- stock options to employees, respectively. The fair value of options granted in previous years vesting during the six month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 of $473,054 and $412,200 respectively was recorded as a current period charge to earnings.

Segment Information

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic Segment Reporting 280-10 (“ASC 280-10”) establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company’s principal operating segment.

Derivative Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We have evaluated the application of Accounting Standards Codification 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”) to certain freestanding warrants and convertible promissory notes that contain exercise price adjustment features known as reset provisions.  Based on the guidance in ASC 815-40, we have concluded these instruments are required to be accounted for as derivatives effective upon issuance on July 31, 2009.

We have recorded the fair value of the warrants and reset provisions of the convertible promissory notes and classified as derivative liabilities in our balance sheet at fair value with changes in the value of these derivatives reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as gain or loss on derivative liabilities.  These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815-10.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
With the exception of those stated below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Annual Report that are of material significance, or have potential material significance, to the Company.
 
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall (“ASC 820-10”) with respect to its financial assets and liabilities. In February 2008, the FASB issued updated guidance related to fair value measurements, which is included in the Codification in ASC 820-10-55, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall – Implementation Guidance and Illustrations. The updated guidance provided a one year deferral of the effective date of ASC 820-10 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. Therefore, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820-10 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities effective January 1, 2009, and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
 
Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-65, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall – Transition and Open Effective Date Information (“ASC 820-10-65”). ASC 820-10-65 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10 when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased. ASC 820-10-65 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The adoption of ASC 820-10-65 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 825-10-65, Financial Instruments – Overall – Transition and Open Effective Date Information (“ASC 825-10-65”). ASC 825-10-65 amends ASC 825-10 to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements and also amends ASC 270-10 to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements. The adoption of ASC 825-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
 
Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 855-10, Subsequent Events – Overall (“ASC 855-10”). ASC 855-10 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date – that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This disclosure should alert all users of financial statements that an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of financial statements being presented. Adoption of ASC 855-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 16, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued.
 
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 provided amendments to ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of a liability. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. Adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (amendments to FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition) (“ASU 2009-13”) and ASU 2009-14, Certain Arrangements That Include Software Elements, (amendments to FASB ASC Topic 985, Software) (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-14 removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are covered by the scope of the software revenue guidance. ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2009-13 or ASU 2009-14 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this item.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Control and Procedures
 
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act ”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us 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 and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

As of September 30, 2009, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified for each report and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
  
Changed in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to material affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On July 31, 2009, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “July 2009 Agreement”) with accredited investors (the “July 2009 Investors”) pursuant to which the July 2009 Investors purchased an aggregate principal amount of $850,000 of 8% Convertible Promissory Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $1,029,000 (the “July 2009 Notes”).  In addition, for every $1.00 in July 2009 Notes purchased, the July 2009 Investors received a common stock purchase warrant to acquire approximately sixteen and two thirds (16 2/3) shares of common stock (the “July 2009 Warrants”) resulting in the issuance of July 2009 Warrant to purchase an aggregate of 17,150,006 shares of common stock of the Company.

The July 2009 Notes are convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.03 per share.  The conversion price of the July 2009 Notes is subject to weighted average anti-dilution adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances by the Company, as well as customary adjustments provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.   The full principal amount of the July 2009 Notes is due upon a default under the terms of the July 2009 Notes.

ITEM 3 – DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

In May 2007, the Company received $50,000 in exchange for a Convertible Debenture (Debenture) that matured on August 31, 2007. The Debenture bears an interest rate of 12% and is convertible into the Company's common stock at the greater of $0.25 per share or 67.5% of the average 10 previous trade days prior to conversion. This note was intended to be a short term note with repayment upon the raising of additional capital in a private offering with American Capital Partners as the placement agent.  This subsequent financing was not adequate to repay this note as promised, and the company since has not had sufficient liquidity to repay this note.  To date the noteholder has taken no legal action and  has been collecting the default rate of interest (18% per annum) in restricted common stock. It is the intention of  the Company to repay this note as soon as it is able from excess cash flow or additional financing.
