For nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and
for the period September 20, 2007 (inception) through September 30, 2009

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Significant accounting policies are as follows:

Basis of Presentation

The Company has not produced any significant revenue from its principal business and is a development stage company as defined by the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 915 Development Stage Entities.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company, and the notes thereto have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The interim financial information contained herein is not certified or audited; it reflects all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the operating results for the periods presented, stated on a basis consistent with that of the audited financial statements.

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of annual results. The Company manages its business as one reportable segment.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fund.com Inc. and its subsidiaries.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.  These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period.  Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605 Revenue Recognition which established that revenue can be recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been shipped, all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied and collection is reasonably assured.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents are defined to include cash on hand and cash in the bank.

Certificate of Deposit

On November 9, 2007, the Company deposited $20,000,000 into a fixed Certificate of Deposit with an interest rate of 5.00% per annum, for a term of three years.  Accrued interest of $500,000 and $500,000 has been recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated September 24, 2009 which the Company entered into with Vensure Employer Services, Inc., the rights were assigned to receive payments under the Certificate of Deposit to Vensure, effective as of September 29, 2009 for certain consideration.  In October 2009, Global Bank of Commerce advised the Company of its intention to exercise its contractual rights to exchange the certificate of deposit for a 10 year 6.5% annuity contract issued by a third party, and on November 2, 2009 Vensure agreed to accept such annuity contract in lieu of the certificate of deposit.

FUND.COM INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and
for the period September 20, 2007 (inception) through September 30, 2009

Investments

The Company’s investments consist of marketable equity securities.  All investments are initially recorded at cost.  After initial recognition, investments, which are classified as fair value through income, are measured at fair value.

For investments that are actively traded in organized financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to stock exchange bid market prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date.

All marketable security transactions are recognized on the trade date.  Fair value and realized gains and losses adjustments are recorded in the statement of operations.

Advertising Costs

All advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. There was no advertising expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Research and Development

Costs are expensed as incurred.  There were no research and development expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using principally the straight-line method. When items are retired or otherwise disposed of, income is charged or credited for the difference between net book value and proceeds realized thereon.  Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and replacements and betterments are capitalized.  The range of estimated useful lives to be used to calculate depreciation for principal items of property and equipment are as follow:
 
Asset Category
 
Depreciation/
Amortization
Period
Furniture and Fixture
 
  3 Years
Office equipment
 
  3 Years
Leasehold improvements
 
  5 Years
 
Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are recognized based on the provisions of ASC 740 Income Taxes for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
  
Earnings Per Share         

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company. Common shareholders include both Class A and Class B as the holders of Class A common stock shall be entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis with the holders of Class B common stock, if, as and when declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of any assets of the Company legally available therefor, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced sale or liquidation.   The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the relatively short maturity of the instruments.

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company tested the carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment.  The results of the tests indicated that the carrying value of the intangible assets was not impaired as of December 31, 2008.  The Company will again test the carrying value for impairment as of December 31, 2009.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation.    

The ASC   provides  that instruments  that were  originally  issued  as  employee  compensation  and then  modified, and that modification is made to the terms of the instrument solely to reflect an equity  restructuring  that  occurs  when the  holders  are no longer employees, then no change in the recognition or the measurement (due to a change in  classification) of those instruments  will result if both of the following conditions are met: (a) there is no increase in fair value of the award (or the ratio of intrinsic  value to the exercise price of the award is preserved,  that is, the holder is made whole), or the antidilution provision is not added to the terms of the award in  contemplation  of an equity  restructuring; and (b) all holders of the same class of equity instruments (for example, stock options) are treated in the same manner.  

Accounting Standards Updates

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued its final Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 168,The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. SFAS No. 168 made the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) the single source of U.S. GAAP used by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements, except for rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative accounting guidance for SEC registrants. The Codification is meant to simplify user access to all authoritative accounting guidance by reorganizing U.S. GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics within a consistent structure; its purpose is not to create new accounting and reporting guidance. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards and was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009. Following SFAS No. 168, the Board 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 (ASU). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right; these updates 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.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 which includes amendments to Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Overall”. The update 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 one or more of the techniques provided for in this update. The amendments in this ASU clarify that 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 the liability and 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. The guidance provided in this ASU is effective for the first reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after issuance.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations as of September 30, 2009 as the Company’s material investment was made effective September 29, 2009 just one day prior to the end of the quarter.  This standard may have a material impact in future reporting periods.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and
for the period September 20, 2007 (inception) through September 30, 2009

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-06, Income Taxes (Topic 740), ”Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities”, which provides implementation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, as well as eliminates certain disclosure requirements for nonpublic entities.  For entities that are currently applying the standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, this update shall be effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. For those entities that have deferred the application of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with paragraph 740-10-65-1(e), this update shall be effective upon adoption of those standards. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations since this accounting standard update provides only implementation and disclosure amendments.

In September 2009, the FASB has published ASU No. 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)”. This ASU amends Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall”, to permit a reporting entity to measure the fair value of certain investments on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent). This ASU also requires new disclosures, by major category of investments including the attributes of investments within the scope of this amendment to the Codification. The guidance in this Update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)-Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements”, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, this guidance amends the criteria in Subtopic 605-25, “Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements”, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method and also requires expanded disclosures. The guidance in this update is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-14, “Software (Topic 985)-Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements” and changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Under this guidance, tangible products containing software components and nonsoftware components that function together to deliver the tangible product's essential functionality are excluded from the software revenue guidance in Subtopic 985-605, “Software-Revenue Recognition”. In addition, hardware components of a tangible product containing software components are always excluded from the software revenue guidance.  The guidance in this ASU is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Other ASUs not effective until after September 30, 2009, are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
NOTE 3 – INTANGIBLE ASSET

Intellectual Property Asset:

During 2007, the Company acquired 24 domain names including “fund.com” and one trademark for a total cost of $9,999,950. The Company has determined that the intangible assets have an indefinite live but are subject to periodic impairment assessment as stated in ASC 350 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.

NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE
 
The Company records fair value of monetary and nonmonetary instruments in accordance with ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures  The ASC establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on inputs used to measure fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. Adopting this statement has not had an effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.
 
In accordance with ASC 820, the financial instruments have been categorized, based on the degree of subjectivity inherent in the valuation technique, into a fair value hierarchy of three levels, as follows:

Level 1:  Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments at the measurement date (e.g., U.S. Government securities and active exchange-traded equity securities).
 
 
 
Level 2:  Inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are observable for the instrument either directly or indirectly (e.g., certain corporate and municipal bonds and certain preferred stocks). This includes: (i) quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the instruments, and (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
 
 
 
Level 3:  Inputs that are unobservable. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s subjective evaluation about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument (e.g., certain structured securities and privately held investments).

NOTE 5 – INVESTMENTS
 
Investment in Vensure Employer Services, Inc.

On September 24, 2009, the Company and Vensure Employer Services, Inc. (“Vensure”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Venture Purchase Agreement”). Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Vensure Purchase Agreement occurred on November 2, 2009; provided, that for all purposes the Closing Date and delivery of all closing documents and instruments were deemed to have occurred effective at 5:00 p.m. on September 29, 2009.

Under the terms of the Venture Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell and assign to Vensure, its right to receive payments under the original $20.0 million certificate of deposit issued in November 2007 by Global Bank in exchange for consideration consisting of (a) 218,883.33 shares of Series A participating convertible preferred stock of Vensure (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and (b) a seven year content agreement (the “Content Agreement”) among Vensure, Vensure Retirement Administration, Inc., a whole owned subsidiary of Vensure, the Company and Whyte Lyon Socratic, Inc. (“Whyte Lyon”). In October 2009, the Company was orally advised by Global Bank of its intention to elect to exercise its contractual rights to exchange and swap its obligations under the certificate of deposit for a ten year 6.5% annuity contract issued by a third party.  The Company notified Vensure of the banks election (which was subsequently confirmed in writing), and on November 2, 2009 Vensure agreed to accept such annuity contract in lieu of the certificate of deposit.

For nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and
for the period September 20, 2007 (inception) through September 30, 2009

The Vensure Series A Preferred Stock:

· has a liquidation value of $100 per share or $21,888,333 as to all 218,883.33 shares;
· is senior to all other capital stock of Vensure;
· pays dividends as and when declared by the board of directors of Vensure on its common stock;
·on a “sale of control” (as defined) of Vensure to any unaffiliated third party, in addition to receipt of the first $21,888,333 of consideration payable in respect of Vensure capital stock, participates with the holders of the common stock to the extent of 25% of all additional consideration paid or payable in excess of the maximum $21,888,333 liquidation value of the Series A Preferred; and
· is convertible at any time after September 30, 2012 upon 61 days prior notice to Vensure into either 25% of the common stock of Vensure; provided, that the board of directors of Vensure may (subject to the Series A Preferred stockholder’s right to rescind its conversion notice) require that the shares of Series A Preferred Stock convert into a maximum of 49.5% of the capital stock of Vensure Retirement Administration, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vensure.
 
Under the terms of a related stockholders agreement among the Company, Vensure and the Vensure stockholders, the Company is entitled to designate two members of the board of directors of Vensure. The stockholders agreement also contains customary buy/sell and related provisions in the event of sales of any shares of Vensure.  The Series A Preferred Stock also contains certain protective provisions that requires the approval of the Company or its designees on the board of directors of Vensure before Vensure may implement or commit to certain actions, including:

· the issuance of securities senior to or on a par with the Series A Preferred Stock;
· the issuance of any additional capital stock of Vensure;
· any change it’s the fundamental nature of its business;
· the acquisition of the assets or securities of other parties; or
· the sale or pledge of substantial assets; or
· any material changes in compensation of senior executive officers.

In addition to its receipt of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company has received the benefits of the Content Agreement.  Under the terms of the Content Agreement, the Company and Whyte Lyon will provide all existing and future employees, co-employees and other associates (collectively, the “End Users”) of Vensure, its subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as Vensure clients (collectively, the “Venture Group”) with access to on-line educational content to be streamed to such End-Users from the website(s) of the Vensure Group.  Such Content, to be designated and branded as “Vensure University,” “The Money School” or other brand name acceptable to the parties to the Content Agreement, will include up to 84 five to seven minute educational course segments on personal finance management, financial products and other related financial topics as are approved by Vensure and the Company.  Course segments may also include safety training, health care and other topics of interest to workers and the work place.

In consideration for providing the Content, the Vensure Group is required to pay the Company and its Whyte Lyon subsidiary an access fee of $19.95 per month (the “Monthly Access Fee”) for each End-User who has access to the Content from the website(s) of the Venture Group, whether or not such End-User actually clicks on such website and views the Content.  Based on the current Vensure employment complement of approximately 4,000 employees or co-employees, this represents approximately $80,000 a month in anticipated revenues to the Company from such Monthly Access Fee as soon as the initial Content is provided.  The Company and its subsidiary have agreed to deliver approximately three course segments during each calendar quarter commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2010 and ending December 31, 2016. Following October 2012, the $19.95 Monthly Access Fee is subject to renegotiation at the option of Vensure.

The Company’s board of directors considered a number of factors in exercising its business judgment to consummate the investment in Vensure, including, among other things, the likelihood that the Global Bank certificate of deposit would not be paid on its November 2010 maturity date but would be exchanged for a long-term investment instrument; the board’s belief in the attractiveness of investing in the Vensure business which we believe is rapidly growing; and the board’s belief that significant revenues are expected to be received by our Company in 2010 and thereafter from the Content Agreement with Vensure.  However, there can be no assurance that our Company’s decision to invest in Vensure will ultimately prove profitable or in the best interests of the Company or its shareholders.

In connection with the merger Eastern Services Holdings, Inc. changed its name to Fund.com Inc. (the "Surviving Corporation").  Pursuant to the Agreement, each share of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share of Fund (“Fund Common Stock”) was converted into the right to receive .1278 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation; provided, however, if a holder of Fund Common Stock also held Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, of Fund (“Fund Preferred Stock”) then each share of Fund Common Stock held by such holder was converted into the right to receive .1278 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class B Common Stock (and Fund Preferred Stock held by such holder was cancelled).  Also pursuant to the Agreement, each share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Eastern was converted into the right to receive one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation. Holders of such shares were entitled to receive the previously declared 9-for-1 stock dividend payable to holders of record as of January 15, 2008.

As a result, at closing (and giving effect to the stock dividend) the Company issued an aggregate of 37,112,345 shares of our Class A Common Stock and 6,387,665 shares of our Class B Common Stock to former shareholders of Fund.com Inc., representing 87% of our outstanding Class A Common Stock and 100% of our Class B Common Stock following the merger. The merger consideration was determined as a result of arm’s-length negotiations between the parties.

Each share of Class A Common stock has one (1) vote per share.  Each share of Class B Common Stock has ten (10) votes per share.  The holders of Class B Common Stock have the right to convert each share of Class B Common Stock into one share of Class A Common Stock (adjusted to reflect subsequent stock splits, combinations, stock dividends and recapitalizations). Subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes of stock at the time outstanding having prior rights as to dividends, the holders of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis with the holders of Class B Common Stock, if, as and when declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of any assets of the Company legally available therefor, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Common Shares Issued

In connection with a private placement, the Company issued 475,000 shares of its Class A common stock at $2.00 per share for total proceeds of $950,000 during 2008.  No shares have been issued for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Stock Option Plan

On December 27, 2007, the Company adopted the Meade Technologies Inc. 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan.  Under this plan, stock options may be granted to employees, officers, consultants or others who provide services to the Company.

On October 14, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with the stockholders of Whyte Lyon Socratic, Inc., a Delaware corporation, d/b/a “The Institute of Modern Economy” (“Whyte Lyon”) to acquire 100% of the capital stock of such corporation in exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which the parties valued at $2.00 per share.  In addition, the Company will provide an additional $250,000 of working capital to Whyte Lyon.  Closing of the acquisition of the shares of Whyte Lyon occurred on November 2, 2009 following consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Vensure Purchase Agreement; provided, that for all purposes the closing date and delivery of all closing documents and instruments were deemed to have occurred effective at 5:00 p.m. on September 29, 2009.  Upon completion of the Company’s acquisition of Whyte Lyon, its principal stockholder, Joseph J. Bianco, became Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.

NOTE 10 – NOTES PAYABLE

Working Capital Loan with IP Global Investors Ltd.

Through September 30, 2009, we have borrowed an aggregate of $2,288,114 from the above lending source.  Effective May 1, 2009, the Company entered into a $1.343 million line of credit agreement with IP Global under which the Company was permitted to receive loans of up to $1,343,000, less $723,000 of prior advances that the Company received from IP Global between October 31, 2008 and April 30, 2009. In consideration for these advances, the Company: (i) agreed to pay 9% interest on all advances (including the prior advances), (ii) granted the lender the right to convert the note into our Class A Common Stock at $0.60 per share (subject to certain adjustments) and (iii) are obligated to pay certain fees to the lender.  Such fees include a $16,500 per month loan servicing fee which accrues and is payable on the maturity date of the note, and a CD release fee (to be paid if the lender arranges for an early payment on our CD with Global Bank of Commerce that matures November 2010 on terms satisfactory to us), payable in shares of our class A common stock determined by dividing $1,343,000 by the conversion price then in effect. All of the Company’s subsidiaries guaranteed payment of the note and the Company issued IP Global a lien on most of our accounts and our domain name to secure payment of the Note.  Additionally, the Company agreed to issue IP Global a warrant to purchase that number of shares of our Class A common stock equal to $1,343,000, divided by an exercise price of $0.60 per shares (subject to certain adjustments, including weighted average anti-dilution adjustments). No additional loans were advanced under the May 1, 2009 agreement.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and
for the period September 20, 2007 (inception) through September 30, 2009

Effective as of August 28, 2009, the Company, and IP Global and Equities Media Acquisition Corp. Inc., a principal stockholder of the Company, consummated the transactions under an amended and restated line of credit agreement pursuant to which such lenders agreed to provide the Company with an increased line of credit facility which superseded and restated in its entirety the prior May 2009 maximum $1.343 million credit agreement. Under the terms of the restated line of credit agreement, the Company is entitled to receive a maximum of $2.5 million of advances, less an aggregate of $723,000 of advances made through May 1, 2009 and a total $1,565,114 of additional advances made subsequent to May 1, 2009 (including the $1,275,000 paid to AdvisorShares on behalf of the Company through August 18, 2009 and an additional $150,000 of advances funded through August 28, 2009).  The Company intends to draw down the balance of such credit facility to provide it with additional working capital.  All obligations under the line of credit agreement have been guaranteed by Fund.com Capital Inc., Fund.com Technologies Inc. and Fund.com Managed Products Inc., all wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

The terms and conditions of the amended and restated line of credit agreement were negotiated between the parties in July 2009. The advances made and to be made by the lenders under the line of credit agreement are evidenced by the Company’s 9% convertible note due August 28, 2010 (one year from the Closing Date).   The note is convertible at any time prior to its maturity date, at a conversion price of $0.21 per share into shares of Class B common stock of the Company. The conversion price was based on 90% of the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's Class A Common's Stock, as traded on the FINRA OTC Bulletin Board for the 30 trading days immediately prior to July 6, 2009.

As part of the transactions contemplated by the line of credit agreement, the lenders or their designees received an option (expiring December 31, 2009) to purchase up to $5,000,000 of additional shares of Class A common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.21 per share, or approximately 23.8 million shares of Class A common stock if such purchase option is fully exercised. The price was also established on the same VWAP calculation. In addition, the Company issued to the lenders a warrant, expiring July 31, 2012, entitling the holder(s) to purchase an aggregate of 50% of the number of shares of Class A common stock that are purchased upon full or partial exercise of the above purchase option, at an exercise price of $0.315 per share, or 150% of the conversion price of the line of credit note. The exercise prices of the purchase option and the warrant are both subject to certain adjustments, including weighted average anti-dilution adjustments.

As a further inducement to the lenders to make available the line of credit, Daniel Klaus and Lucas Mann, two shareholders of the Company and members of the board of directors at the time, also sold to the lenders or their designees (in equal amounts) a total of 2,000,000 of their shares of Class A common stock of the Company at a price of $0.25 per share, payable on the basis of $50,000 in cash and the $450,000 balance evidenced by two notes of $225,000 each payable in equal monthly installments through December 31, 2009.  In addition, Messrs. Klaus and Mann each contributed 500,000 of their Company shares to the lenders, or their designees, for no consideration, and granted the lenders or their designees an option, exercisable at any time up to December 31, 2009, to purchase an additional 2,000,000 of their Class A shares for $0.25 per share. Effective August 28, 2009, Messrs. Daniel Klaus and Lucas Mann terminated their consulting agreements with the Company and resigned as members of the board of directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. There was no disagreement or dispute between Messrs. Klaus and Mann and the Company which led to their resignation as directors. They also agreed not to sell their remaining shares in the Company for a period of at least six months.

Management is currently in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, associated with the convertible note, option and warrant on the Company’s financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Based upon such evaluation, management will determine if such impact is material to its financial position, results of operations and earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. In such event, the Company will amend its filing as deemed appropriate.

ITEM 2.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Information

This report contains forward-looking statements regarding our plans, expectations, estimates and beliefs. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are identified by words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “may,” and other similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our expectations. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond our control. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated as a result of the factors described in the “Risk Factors” and detailed in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
 
Because of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this report or incorporated by reference might not transpire.  Factors that cause actual results or conditions to differ from those anticipated by these and other forward-looking statements include those more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section in our annual report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 7, 2009.  Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. In addition, we expect that our Form 10-K/A dated August 7, 2009, as well as our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, will be subject to certain amendments as a result of our recent receipt of a comment letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations relates to the operations and financial condition reported in our financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.   

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto which appear elsewhere in this report.  The results shown herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future periods.  

Overview

Through our 60% owned AdvisorShares Investments LLC subsidiary (“AdvisorShares”), Fund.com Inc. (the “Company,” “we”, “us” or “our”) has developed an investment platform that originates actively managed exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) in conjunction with leading investment managers who are responsible for managing the assets within the ETFs we create. We believe the $600 billion ETF market continues to experience rapid growth and represents a widely accepted financial innovation.  We also publish information online about investment funds at www.fund.com. Our objective is to engage individual investors as an online educational and research resource and then to match their investment needs with fund product providers, including ETFs offered by investment managers that use our ETF platform. We earn investment management fees as a percentage of assets in our ETFs, which we share with the investment managers. We, therefore, have an economic incentive to assist in increasing assets under management through client referrals derived from our online businesses.

The business of AdvisorShares is to develop a diverse range of "actively managed" ETFs together with established third party asset managers, and to list these ETFs on the New York Stock Exchange, or a similar national or international securities exchange. The target clients of AdvisorShares are third party investment advisors who already manage clients' assets, have a favorable track record and desire to package their investment strategy using exchange-traded funds.  Under our business model, the investment manager acts as a “sub-advisor” to the fund and selects and supervises the investments of its individual ETF.  By accessing the AdvisorShares ETF platform, third party investment managers will be able to establish their own branded, or "white-labeled," ETF on a "turn-key" basis, wherein AdvisorShares is responsible, among other things, for the compliance and administration of the fund.  AdvisorShares and the investment manager share in the fee income, subject to a monthly minimum paid to AdvisorShares.

To date, we have used our ETF platform to complete one initial public offering in September 2009, known as the Dent Tactical ETF (NYSE: DENT), which is currently trading on the New York Stock Exchange.  The Dent Tactical ETF is sub-advised by H.S. Dent Investment Management LLC.  Harvey S. Dent previously sub-advised a $1.7 billion mutual fund known as the Dent Demographic Trends Fund.  We currently have 2 additional ETFs in registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and we expect such ETFs to commence trading on the New York Stock Exchange in the near future. We are also in discussions with established investment managers that represent what we believe is a diversified series of investment strategies and assets classes such that, if we are able to create and market ETFs with them, it will enable us to offer a diversified selection of actively managed investment products to select from.

We believe that investing in a publicly traded ETF significantly enhances the individual investor’s liquidity as, unlike a mutual fund or hedge fund, the investor can buy and sell the ETF as a listed security on a major stock exchange, such as the NYSE.  We also believe that investment managers will be able to increase their assets under management and improve their client distribution opportunities, as publicly traded ETFs showcase the investment track record of the investment manager and its clients are able to allocate money to the investment manager simply by buying the ETF.

The AdvisorShares acquisition enhances our strategic goal of connecting individual investors with appropriate diversified investment products and to also assist asset fund managers in building client assets under management by connecting them to individual investors..  We believe that ETFs are one of the most significant products developed since money market funds in the 1970’s with ETF asset growth approaching $660 billion as of August 2009. We also believe that economic conditions for ETFs continue to be highly favorable in the United States inasmuch as ETFs are the mutual fund industry's fastest-growing marketplace. Over the past 12 months, ETF assets increased $70.9 billion, or 12.1%. According to Tiburon Strategic Advisors, there are currently 10,466 RIAs in the United States that manage $37.5 trillion in professionally managed assets. The Company believes that many of these RIAs are potential partners for AdvisorShares.

On November 5, 2009, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Weston Capital Management LLC ("Weston") and its majority shareholders for the acquisition of an equity interest from an institutional shareholder and its founder.  Weston is a registered investment advisor that manages approximately $1.0 billion for investment primarily in other investment funds, and also provides “seed” capital for new fund products.  We believe that AdvisorShares and Weston are complimentary businesses since Weston will gain access to larger target markets through AdvisorShares created exchange-traded products and AdvisorShares will benefit from the fund distribution experience of Weston.

The acquisition of Weston is subject to a number of conditions, including execution of definitive agreements, completion of satisfactory due diligence by all parties and our accessing the funds necessary to complete our purchase of an equity interest in Weston.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate the acquisition of an equity interest in Weston or that, if consummated, that such investment will prove profitable to our company.
 
In addition to our AdvisorShares business, and consistent with our focus of providing on-line financial content, the Company recently consummated two strategic investments.  They consisted of the acquisition of 100% of the capital stock of Whyte Lyon Socratic Inc., d/b/a “The Institute of Modern Economy,” a Delaware corporation (“Whyte Lyon”) and an investment in the equity of Vensure Employer Services, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“Vensure”).  Both transactions were consummated on November 2, 2009, but were deemed to be effective as of September 29, 2009.
 
Whyte Lyon is a development stage online provider of financial literacy video content delivered over the Internet. Sometimes referred to as distance learning, such remote educational content is designed to assist on-line students to:

· develop the necessary skills to understand financial transactions and financial markets;
· develop money management skills to help them manage their income and wealth; and
· reach particular goals, including homeownership, debt reconciliation, or improved credit reports.

As part of that transaction, Whyte Lyon's president Joseph J. Bianco was named chairman of the board of directors of our Company. Mr. Bianco is private investor and chairman of Educational Investors, Inc.  From 1990 to 1996 he served as the Chief Executive Officer of New York Stock Exchange-listed Alliance Entertainment, then the world's leading independent distributor of CD music. His business experience has spanned many industries: He founded and chaired British Performance Car Imports, Inc., the exclusive U.S. distributor of Lotus Performance Cars, which he sold to General Motors, and was chairman of Cognitive Arts, Inc., a leading creator of educational software. He graduated from Yale Law School in 1975; he was an editor of the Yale Law Journal.

Simultaneous with our acquisition of Whyte Lyon, we purchased an equity interest in Mesa, AZ.-based Vensure Employer Services, Inc., a professional employer organization, or PEO, located in Mesa, Arizona.  Vensure provides a broad range of services to small and medium-sized businesses, including benefits and payroll administration, health and workers’ compensation insurance programs, personnel records management, employer liability management, employee recruiting and selection, employee performance management, employee training and development services and retirement obligations, including a retirement services product line that offers a variety of options to clients like 401(k) plans, 401(k) plans with safe harbor provisions, profit sharing, and money purchase plans.

According to information furnished by Vensure, as of September 25, 2009, Vensure directly employed or acted as co-employer for approximately 4,000 employees provided to approximately 269 business clients, up from approximately 2,100 employees and 182 clients as of January 1, 2009.

Vensure’s target clients are small and medium sized businesses in the United States with fewer than 100 employees.  Vensure advises that there are approximately 9.4 million employers in the geographic markets that it is capable of servicing, of which more than 99% have fewer than 100 employees.  Based on publicly available industry data, Vensure estimates that all independent PEOs and other payroll processors serve approximately 15% of the potential businesses in this market, with much of the unpenetrated market composed of businesses with ten or fewer employees.

We believe that Vensure’s target market is large and therefore provides a significant potential growth opportunity for Fund.com.

·  
The PEO industry generates approximately $51 billion in gross revenues annually;
·  
The Harvard Business Review recognized the PEO industry "the fastest growing business service in the United States during the 1990s;
·  
US Department of Labor Statistics predicts that by the year 2020, more than half of American employees will be employed by Professional Employer Organizations (PEO);
·  
The US Small Business Administration (SBA) found the average annual cost of regulation, paperwork and tax compliance for companies with fewer than 500 employees is about $5,000 per employee. For companies with more than 500 employees, the cost is about $3,400 an employee;
·  
According to the Office of the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the U.S. Small Business Administration, small businesses face an annual regulatory cost of $7,647 per employee, which is 45 percent higher than the regulatory cost facing large firms (defined as firms with 500 or more employees); and
·  
An SBA study estimated that the average small business owner spends between 7% and 25% of his or her time handling employee-related paperwork.

As a result of our investment in Vensure, we will be able to offer our products to the employees of Vensure, including The Institute of Modern Economy online educational courses, to assist them in managing their personal finances and retirement goals and access other investment products we may be able to provide. The National Council on Economic Education reported that 33% of employees increased their contributions to their retirement savings plan after having received financial education.   In addition, subject to compliance with all federal and state securities and tax laws and regulation, we intend to offer our AdvisorShares ETF products to Vensure employees for their individual retirement savings plans.

As further described in this report under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and as described in our Form 8-K, dated November 5, 2009, we purchased 100% of the capital stock of Whyte Lyon in exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which the parties valued at $2.00 per share.  In addition, the Company agreed to provide by November 30, 2009 an additional $250,000 of working capital to Whyte Lyon.  Closing of the acquisition of the shares of Whyte Lyon occurred on November 2, 2009, and Joseph J. Bianco, the principal stockholder of Whyte Lyon became Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.

As further described in this report under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and as described in our Form 8-K, dated November 5, 2009, our investment in Vensure consists of the Company’s purchase of 218,888.33 shares of participating convertible Series A preferred stock of Vensure, having a liquidation value of $100.00 per share.  In addition, and as a material element of our investment in Vensure, the Company and Whyte Lyon entered into a Content Agreement with Vensure pursuant to which online educational content will be supplied to Vensure employees.  Through our Whyte Lyon subsidiary, we will be paid content licensing fees. The online content will include a range of financial education content, including content on savings and retirement planning designed to enhance our business.

Our plan of operation is to continue the further development of our website. This may include certain capital expenditures for technology, content and database management, including certain online advertising systems and affiliate marketing systems that management believes will assist in executing our customer acquisition business plan. Our website is anticipated to evolve over time as we introduce new content and features and generally seek to improve the customer experience. Our website was launched in March 2009 with the full planned feature set accessible at www.fund.com. We continue to seek strategic relationships that will further enhance the website development and usage.
 
We have outsourced our technology to operate our online network and supporting systems on servers at a secure third-party co-location facility in the Colorado area. This third-party facility is manned, and our infrastructure and network connectivity monitored continuously, on a 24-hour a day, 365-day a year basis. This facility is powered continuously from multiple sources, including uninterruptible power supplies and emergency power generators. The vast majority of the information presented on www.fund.com, including backend databases that serve and store information, will be stored in and delivered from server farms. 

Our operating and capital requirements in connection with operations have been and will continue to be significant. Based on our current plans, we anticipate that revenues earned from lead generation will be the primary source of funds for operating activities. In addition to existing cash and cash equivalents, we may rely on bank borrowing, if available, or sales of securities to meet the basic capital and liquidity needs for the next 12 months. Additional capital may be sought to fund the development of www.fund.com and marketing efforts, which may also include bank borrowing, or a private placement of securities. However, other than our agreement with IP Global, Investors Ltd.., as discussed below, we have no agreements for funding at this time and there can be no assurance that funding will be available if we require it.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
The Company considered the quality and variability of information regarding the financial condition and operating performance that may have changed in the past and future that may have a material effect and has quantified them where possible. Specifically, the Company considers risk of variability with changes in contract which may affect the recognition of income and also the possibility of changes in the tax code which may affect the long term rates of return.

Our significant accounting policies are as follows:

Basis of Presentation
 
The Company has not produced any significant revenue from its principal business and is a development stage company as defined by the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 915 Development Stage Entities.

Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fund.com Inc. and its subsidiaries.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.  These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period.  Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605 Revenue Recognition which established that revenue can be recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been shipped, all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied and collection is reasonably assured.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents are defined to include cash on hand and cash in the bank.

Certificate of Deposit
 
On November 9, 2007, the Company deposited $20,000,000 into a fixed Certificate of Deposit with an interest rate of 5.00% per annum, for a term of three years.  Accrued interest of $500,000 and $500,000 has been recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated September 24, 2009 which the Company entered into with Vensure Employer Services, Inc., the rights were assigned to receive payments under the Certificate of Deposit to Vensure, effective as of September 29, 2009 for certain consideration.  In October 2009, Global Bank of Commerce advised the Company of its intention to exercise its contractual rights to exchange the certificate of deposit for a 10 year 6.5% annuity contract issued by a third party, and on November 2, 2009 Vensure agreed to accept such annuity contract in lieu of the certificate of deposit.

Investments
 
The Company’s investments consist of marketable equity securities.  All investments are initially recorded at cost.  After initial recognition, investments, which are classified as fair value through income, are measured at fair value.
 
For investments that are actively traded in organized financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to stock exchange bid market prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date.
 
All marketable security transactions are recognized on the trade date.  Fair value and realized gains and losses adjustments are recorded in the statement of operations.

Advertising Costs

All advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. There was no advertising expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Research and Development

Costs are expensed as incurred.  There were no research and development expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using principally the straight-line method. When items are retired or otherwise disposed of, income is charged or credited for the difference between net book value and proceeds realized thereon.  Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and replacements and betterments are capitalized.  The range of estimated useful lives to be used to calculate depreciation for principal items of property and equipment are as follow:
 
Asset Category
 
Depreciation/
Amortization
Period
Furniture and Fixture
 
  3 Years
Office equipment
 
  3 Years
Leasehold improvements
 
  5 Years
 
Income Taxes
 
Deferred income taxes are recognized based on the provisions of ASC 740 Income Taxes for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
Earnings Per Share         
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company. Common shareholders include both Class A and Class B as the holders of Class A common stock shall be entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis with the holders of Class B common stock, if, as and when declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of any assets of the Company legally available therefor, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced sale or liquidation.   The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the relatively short maturity of the instruments.

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
 
During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company tested the carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment.  The results of the tests indicated that the carrying value of the intangible assets was not impaired as of December 31, 2008.  The Company will again test the carrying value for impairment as of December 31, 2009.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation.   

The ASC   provides  that instruments  that  were  originally  issued  as  employee  compensation  and then  modified, and that modification is made to the terms of the instrument solely to reflect an equity  restructuring  that  occurs  when the  holders  are no longer employees, then no change in the recognition or the measurement (due to a change in  classification) of those instruments  will result if both of the following conditions are met: (a) there is no increase in fair value of the award (or the ratio of intrinsic  value to the exercise price of the award is preserved,  that is, the holder is made whole), or the antidilution provision is not added to the terms of the award in  contemplation  of an equity  restructuring; and (b) all holders of the same class of equity instruments (for example, stock options) are treated in the same manner.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
On September 30, 2009, the Company had cash of $602,143 and a working capital deficit of approximately $4,135,000.  We will require additional funding in order to meet operating expenses and our development plan.

We were originally incorporated as Eastern Services Holdings, Inc.  In January 15, 2008 we merged with Meade Technologies Inc., following which we changed our corporate name to Fund.com Inc.  In each case, before giving effect to the 9-for-1 dividend on our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, in November 2007, we sold an aggregate of 10,350,000 shares of our common stock to eight accredited investors in a private placement at a price of $2.00 per share and received gross proceeds of $20,700,000, and we sold 5,000,000 shares of our common stock and 2,500,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock to an accredited investor and received gross proceeds of $10,000,000.  Substantially all of the proceeds from the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock transaction were used to acquire the domain name www.fund.com.

Following the merger, we had authorized a total of 110,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 100,000,000 shares were authorized as Class A Common Stock, 10,000,000 shares were authorized as Class B Common Stock.  In addition, 10,000,000 shares were authorized as Preferred Stock.

On September 2, 2009, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to increase its authorized capital stock from 120,000,000 shares to 320,000,000 shares, of which 300,000,000 shares are designated as Class A common stock, 10,000,000 shares are designated as Class B common stock and 10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock.  Each share of Class A common stock has one vote.  Each share of Class B common stock has 10 votes, votes together with the Class A common stock, and is convertible by the holder at any time upon 61 days prior written notice into ten shares of Class A common stock.  The authorized shares of preferred stock may be issued by the board of directors from time to time in one or more series and the board of directors has the authority to fix the powers, designations rights, preferences and limitations of any class or series of such preferred stock.

As at September 30, 2009, 43,612,335 shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding, 6,387,665 shares of Class B Common Stock were outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock were outstanding.

In connection with a financing consummated with IP Global Investors Ltd. described below, we issued IP Global our $2,500,000 convertible note that may be converted at any time at $0.21 per share into 11,904,761 shares of our Class B common stock.

 Securities Purchase Agreement with National Holdings Corporation
 
On April 8, 2009, the Company entered into a definitive Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with National Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“NHC”) whereby the Company agreed to provide a minimum $5 million financing to NHC (the “Financing”) exchange for an aggregate of 5,000 shares of NHC to be created Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share at a purchase price of $1,000.00 per share, and warrants, exercisable at any time, and entitling the holder to purchase up to an aggregate of 25,333,333 shares of common stock of NHC (on an as-exercised basis) with an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The Company provided NHC with an initial investment tranche of $500,000, as evidenced by NHC’s limited recourse promissory note, dated April 8, 2009, which note would have automatically converted into shares of Series C Preferred Stock upon consummation of the Financing or, if the Company was unable to close the balance of the Financing by April 30, 2009, into 666,666 shares of NHC common stock also based on a $0.75 per common share price. We borrowed the $500,000 initial tranche from Global Asset Fund Limited, (“GAF”), through a loan, which is secured by a pledge of NHC’s limited recourse note and all of our rights and interests in the Purchase Agreement. On May 15, 2009, our $500,000 NHC limited recourse note was converted into 666,666 shares of NHC common stock, which are pledged as collateral to secure our $500,000 loan from GAF. At September 30, 2009, the $500,000 note had not been repaid.  On November 3, 2009, GAF and the Company settled the $500,000 obligation by transferring the pledged stock to GAF.
 
The Company was unable to obtain the requisite funding to make the $5.0 million investment in NHC and consummate the Financing.  Accordingly, the Purchase Agreement has been terminated. 

Working Capital Loan
 
For the past nine months we have relied on loans and advances from IP Global Investors Ltd., a privately owned intellectual property finance company, to provide us with working capital to pay our operating expenses.  Through September 30, 2009, we have borrowed an aggregate of approximately $2,288,114 from this lending source.
 
Effective as of August 28, 2009, the Company, and IP Global and Equities Media Acquisition Corp. Inc., a principal stockholder of the Company, consummated transactions under a line of credit agreement pursuant to which IP Global provided the Company with a $2,500,000 line of credit facility which superseded and restated in its entirety a prior $1.343 million credit agreement with IP Global entered into as of May 1, 2009.  Under the terms of the restated line of credit agreement (which was negotiated and agreed upon in early July 2009), the Company is entitled to receive a maximum of $2,500,000 of advances, less an aggregate of $723,000 of advances made through May 1, 2009 (including the 1,275,000 paid to AdvisorShares on behalf of the Company through August 18, 2009 and an additional $150,000 of advances funded through August 28, 2009).  As of September 30, 2009, the Company has borrowed an aggregate of approximately $2,288,114 under the line of credit, including $1,275,000 paid to AdvisorShares on behalf of the Company.  All obligations under the line of credit agreement have been guaranteed by Fund.com Capital Inc., Fund.com Technologies Inc. and Fund.com Managed Products Inc., all wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
 
9

 
The advances made under the line of credit agreement are evidenced by the Company’s 9% convertible note due August 28, 2010 (one year from the Closing Date).   The note is convertible at any time prior to its maturity date, at a conversion price of $0.21 per share into shares of Class B common stock of the Company. The conversion price was established based on the public price of Fund.com at the time the parties reached agreement, the price being based on a quantitative formula equal to 90% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Fund.com stock price as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board for the thirty days prior to July 6, 2009.
 
As part of the transactions contemplated by the line of credit agreement, the lenders or their designees received an option (expiring December 31, 2009) to purchase up to $5,000,000 of additional shares of Class A common stock of the Company at a price of $0.21 per share, or approximately 23.8 million shares of Class A common stock if such purchase option is fully exercised. The price was also established on the same VWAP calculation. In addition, the Company issued to the lenders a warrant, expiring July 31, 2012, entitling the holder(s) to purchase an aggregate of 50% of the number of shares of Class A common stock that are purchased upon full or partial exercise of the above purchase option, at an exercise price of $0.315 per share.  The exercise prices of the purchase option and the warrant are both subject to certain adjustments, including weighted average anti-dilution adjustments.
 
As a further inducement to the lenders to make available the line of credit, Daniel Klaus and Lucas Mann, two shareholders of the Company and members of the board of directors at the time, also sold to the lenders or their designees (in equal amounts) a total of 2,000,000 of their shares of Class A common stock of the Company at a price of $0.25 per share, payable on the basis of $50,000 in cash and the $450,000 balance evidenced by two notes of $225,000 each payable in equal monthly installments through December 31, 2009.  In addition, Messrs. Klaus and Mann each contributed 500,000 of their Company shares to the lenders, or their designees, for no consideration, and granted the lenders or their designees an option, exercisable at any time up to December 31, 2009, to purchase an additional 2,000,000 of their Class A shares for $0.25 per share. Effective August 28, 2009, Messrs. Daniel Klaus and Lucas Mann terminated their consulting agreements with the Company and resigned as members of the board of directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. There was no disagreement or dispute between Messrs. Klaus and Mann and the Company which led to their resignation as directors. They also agreed not to sell their remaining shares in the Company for a period of at least six months.

On November 2, 2009, IP Global sold $623,700 principal amount of its $2,500,000 convertible note to Bleecker Holdings Inc. (“Bleecker”), an entity wholly-owned by Joseph J. Bianco, our Chairman of the Board, and sold an additional $6,300 principal amount of the note to one other unaffiliated entity. Under the terms of the sale, each of the purchasers paid an aggregate of $630,000 by delivery of their 5% seven year recourse notes to IP Global.

Certificate of Deposit from Global Bank of Commerce
 
On November 9, 2007, Meade Capital, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Meade Technologies Inc. (both privately owned companies not affiliated with our Company at that time), invested in a $20,000,000 three-year Certificate of Deposit issued by an Antigua bank, the Global Bank of Commerce (“Global Bank”). Global Bank is an affiliate of one of our stockholders (GBC Wealth Management Limited).  This investment was made prior to completing the merger of Meade Technologies with Eastern Services Holdings, Inc. which occurred on January 15, 2008 and prior to current management’s employment with our Company.  As part of the merger, the Company’s name was changed to Fund.com Inc, and its subsidiary’s name to Fund.com Capital.

The certificate of deposit accrues earned interest at 5% per annum for the term of three years and is due and payable, together with accrued interest, on November 9, 2010.  With accrued interest, the amount of the certificate of deposit was $21,888,333 as of September 30, 2009.  As disclosed in our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 17, 2008, Global Bank had the right, pursuant to its November 2007 agreement with our Company to exchange the certificate of deposit at any time prior to its maturity for a long-term annuity contract to be issued by a third party acceptable to Global Bank.

Fund.com Capital Inc. (then known as Meade Capital, Inc.) was originally established by Meade Technologies, Inc., the Company’s predecessor, to invest in financial entities and structure unregistered financial products and instruments, including fund management companies, and structured products offered or managed by such entities. As a result, at the time of the merger with Meade Technologies in January 2008, the Company believed that the certificate of deposit investment would provide the Company with a material asset base, would serve as the basis for unregistered structure products and would provide capital for one or more potential acquisitions within its then business model as set forth in its business plan disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on January 17, 2008.  However, in view of the Company’s need for additional working capital, its decision to abandon the issuance of unregistered structured products in favor of pursuing exclusively investment products registered under the Securities Act and Global Bank’s right to exchange and swap the three year certificate of deposit for a long-term annuity instrument that would not provide the Company with liquidity, our management determined that it would need to seek additional financing for the Company in order to support our other strategic initiatives, and could no longer place undue reliance on the investment in the certificate of deposit. 

Consistent with the above strategy, pursuant to the Company’s investment in and transaction with Vensure Employer Services, Inc. (as described below under the heading “Investment in Vensure Employer Services, Inc.”), as payment for the Series A preferred stock of Vensure, the Company transferred and assigned its rights under the certificate of deposit to Vensure, effective as of September 29, 2009.  In October 2009, Global Bank advised the Company of its intention to exercise its contractual rights to exchange the certificate of deposit for a ten year 6.5% annuity contract in the amount of the certificate of deposit plus accrued interest issued by a third party. On November 2, 2009 Vensure agreed to accept such annuity contract in lieu of the certificate of deposit.

Purchase and Contribution Agreement with AdvisorShares
 
The funding requirement for the additional $3,725,000 to AdvisorShares will be made in accordance with the achievement of specific milestones as defined in the Purchase and Contribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated October 31, 2008, including (i) $1,000,000 within 30 days of the issuance by the SEC of its notice regarding approval of the application of AdvisorShares for exemptive relief under the Investment Company Act of 1940; (ii) $725,000 within 30 days of receipt by the Company from AdvisorShares’ independent auditors verifying total assets under management equal to $150,000,000; (iii) $1,000,000 within 30 days of receipt by the Company from AdvisorShares’ independent auditors verifying total assets under management equal to $250,000,000; and (iv) $1,000,000 within 30 days of receipt by the Company from AdvisorShares’ independent auditors verifying total assets under management equal to $450,000,000.
 
On August 18, 2009, the Company consummated payment in full of the $1,000,000 due to AdvisorShares for achieving the first milestone under the Agreement.  The funding was provided to the Company by IP Global and Equities Media, a principal stockholder of the Company, under the amended and restated $2.5 million line of credit facility described above. The Company does not currently have the capital or resources to make the additional $2,725,000 in payments to AdvisorShares following AdvisorShares’ achievement of the remaining milestones.  In order to obtain funds to satisfy the remaining payment obligations to AdvisorShares (assuming the remaining milestones are achieved), we may utilize any of several potential options, including cash on hand from operating results, the issuance of debt or equity securities, or a combination thereof.  No assurance can be given that we will have available cash on hand from operating results or be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all.  Moreover, the Company cannot predict with certainty if and when the remaining milestones for total assets under management will be met by AdvisorShares.  

We anticipate that our cash requirements for the next 12 months for expenses related to infrastructure, business development and accounts payable should be approximately $2,000,000.  We believe proceeds from the sale of both equity and debt instruments will be sufficient to meet presently anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements over the next few months.  However, there can be no assurance that the sale of equity or notes will take place.  To the extent that we do not generate sufficient revenues, we will be forced to reduce our expenses and/or seek additional financing.  As of November 13, 2009 there were no commitments for long-term capital expenditures.

Investment in Vensure Employer Services, Inc.
 
On September 24, 2009, we and Vensure Employer Services, Inc. (“Vensure”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Venture Purchase Agreement”). Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Vensure Purchase Agreement occurred on November 2, 2009; provided, that for all purposes the Closing Date and delivery of all closing documents and instruments were deemed to have occurred effective at 5:00 p.m. on September 29, 2009.
 
11

 
Under the terms of the Venture Purchase Agreement, we agreed to sell and assign to Vensure, our right to receive payments under the original $20.0 million certificate of deposit issued in November 2007 by Global Bank in exchange for consideration consisting of (a) 218,883.33 shares of Series A participating convertible preferred stock of Vensure (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and (b) a seven year content agreement (the “Content Agreement”) among Vensure, Vensure Retirement Administration, Inc., a whole owned subsidiary of Vensure, our company and Whyte Lyon Socratic, Inc. (“Whyte Lyon”). In October 2009, we were orally advised by Global Bank of its intention to elect to exercise its contractual rights to exchange and swap its obligations under the certificate of deposit for a ten year 6.5% annuity contract issued by a third party.  We notified Vensure of the banks election (which was subsequently confirmed in writing), and on November 2, 2009 Vensure agreed to accept such annuity contract in lieu of the certificate of deposit.

The Vensure Series A Preferred Stock:

· has a liquidation value of $100 per share or $21,888,333 as to all 218,883.33 shares;
· is senior to all other capital stock of Vensure;
· pays dividends as and when declared by the board of directors of Vensure on its common stock;
·on a “sale of control” (as defined) of Vensure to any unaffiliated third party, in addition to receipt of the first $21,888,333 of consideration payable in respect of Vensure capital stock, participates with the holders of the common stock to the extent of 25% of all additional consideration paid or payable in excess of the maximum $21,888,333 liquidation value of the Series A Preferred; and
·is convertible at any time after September 30, 2012 upon 61 days prior notice to Vensure into either 25% of the common stock of Vensure; provided, that the board of directors of Vensure may (subject to the Series A Preferred stockholder’s right to rescind its conversion notice) require that the shares of Series A Preferred Stock convert into a maximum of 49.5% of the capital stock of Vensure Retirement Administration, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vensure.
 
     Under the terms of a related stockholders agreement among the Company, Vensure and the Vensure stockholders, the Company is entitled to designate two members of the board of directors of Vensure. The stockholders agreement also contains customary buy/sell and related provisions in the event of sales of any shares of Vensure.  The Series A Preferred Stock also contains certain protective provisions that requires the approval of the Company or its designees on the board of directors of Vensure before Vensure may implement or commit to certain actions, including:

· the issuance of securities senior to or on a par with the Series A Preferred Stock;
· the issuance of any additional capital stock of Vensure;
· any change it’s the fundamental nature of its business;
· the acquisition of the assets or securities of other parties; or
· the sale or pledge of substantial assets; or
· any material changes in compensation of senior executive officers.
 
In addition to its receipt of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company has received the benefits of the Content Agreement.  Under the terms of the Content Agreement, the Company and Whyte Lyon will provide all existing and future employees, co-employees and other associates (collectively, the “End Users”) of Vensure, its subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as Vensure clients (collectively, the “Venture Group”) with access to on-line educational content to be streamed to such End-Users from the website(s) of the Vensure Group.  Such Content, to be designated and branded as “Vensure University,” “The Money School” or other brand name acceptable to the parties to the Content Agreement, will include up to 84 five to seven minute educational course segments on personal finance management, financial products and other related financial topics as are approved by Vensure and the Company.  Course segments may also include safety training, health care and other topics of interest to workers and the work place.
 
12

 
In consideration for providing the Content, the Vensure Group is required to pay the Company and its Whyte Lyon subsidiary an access fee of $19.95 per month (the “Monthly Access Fee”) for each End-User who has access to the Content from the website(s) of the Venture Group, whether or not such End-User actually clicks on such website and views the Content.  Based on the current Vensure employment complement of approximately 4,000 employees or co-employees, this represents approximately $80,000 a month in anticipated revenues to the Company from such Monthly Access Fee as soon as the initial Content is provided.  The Company and its subsidiary have agreed to deliver approximately three course segments during each calendar quarter commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2010 and ending December 31, 2016. Following October 2012, the $19.95 Monthly Access Fee is subject to renegotiation at the option of Vensure.
 
Our board of directors considered a number of factors in exercising its business judgment to consummate the investment in Vensure, including, among other things, the likelihood that the Global Bank certificate of deposit would not be paid on its November 2010 maturity date as was disclosed as a potential risk in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 17, 2008. In addition, the Company considered the potential lack of liquidity arising from the proposed exchange for a long-term investment instrument.

Acquisition of Whyte Lyon Socratic, Inc.
 
On October 14, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with the stockholders of Whyte Lyon Socratic, Inc., a Delaware corporation, d/b/a “The Institute of Modern Economy” (“Whyte Lyon”) to acquire 100% of the capital stock of such corporation in exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which the parties valued at $2.00 per share.  In addition, the Company will provide an additional $250,000 of working capital to Whyte Lyon.  Closing of the acquisition of the shares of Whyte Lyon occurred on November 2, 2009 following consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Vensure Purchase Agreement; provided, that for all purposes the closing date and delivery of all closing documents and instruments were deemed to have occurred effective at 5:00 p.m. on September 29, 2009.  Upon completion of the Company’s acquisition of Whyte Lyon, its principal stockholder, Joseph J. Bianco, became Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Accounting Standards Updates
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued its final Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 168,The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. SFAS No. 168 made the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) the single source of U.S. GAAP used by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements, except for rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative accounting guidance for SEC registrants. The Codification is meant to simplify user access to all authoritative accounting guidance by reorganizing U.S. GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics within a consistent structure; its purpose is not to create new accounting and reporting guidance. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards and was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009. Following SFAS No. 168, the Board 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 (ASU). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right; these updates 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.
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 which includes amendments to Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Overall”. The update 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 one or more of the techniques provided for in this update. The amendments in this ASU clarify that 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 the liability and 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. The guidance provided in this ASU is effective for the first reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after issuance.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations as of September 30, 2009 as the Company’s material investment was made effective September 29, 2009 just one day prior to the end of the quarter.  This standard may have a material impact in future reporting periods.
 
13

 
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-06, Income Taxes (Topic 740), ”Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities”, which provides implementation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, as well as eliminates certain disclosure requirements for nonpublic entities.  For entities that are currently applying the standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, this update shall be effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. For those entities that have deferred the application of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with paragraph 740-10-65-1(e), this update shall be effective upon adoption of those standards. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations since this accounting standard update provides only implementation and disclosure amendments.
 
In September 2009, the FASB has published ASU No. 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)”. This ASU amends Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall”, to permit a reporting entity to measure the fair value of certain investments on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent). This ASU also requires new disclosures, by major category of investments including the attributes of investments within the scope of this amendment to the Codification. The guidance in this Update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
In October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)-Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements”, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, this guidance amends the criteria in Subtopic 605-25, “Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements”, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method and also requires expanded disclosures. The guidance in this update is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
In October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-14, “Software (Topic 985)-Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements” and changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Under this guidance, tangible products containing software components and nonsoftware components that function together to deliver the tangible product's essential functionality are excluded from the software revenue guidance in Subtopic 985-605, “Software-Revenue Recognition”. In addition, hardware components of a tangible product containing software components are always excluded from the software revenue guidance.  The guidance in this ASU is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
           Other ASUs not effective until after September 30, 2009, are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

           We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial conditions, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

ITEM 3.             QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

           Not applicable.

ITEM 4T.          CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of (i) our disclosure controls and procedures, and (ii) our internal control over financial reporting. The evaluators who performed this evaluation were our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer; their conclusions, based on and as of the date of the evaluation (i) with respect to the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and (ii) with respect to any change in our internal controls that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls are presented below.
 
CEO and CFO Certifications
 
Attached to this quarterly report, as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, are certain certifications of the CEO and CFO, which are required in accordance with the Exchange Act and the Commission’s rules implementing such section (the "Rule 13a-14(a)/15d-14(a) Certifications"). This section of the quarterly report contains the information concerning the evaluation referred to in the Rule 13a-14(a)/15d-14(a) Certifications. This information should be read in conjunction with the Rule 13a-14(a)/15d-14(a) Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topic presented.

Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls
 
Disclosure controls are procedures designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act, such as this quarterly report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that material information relating to the Company is made known to the CEO and the CFO by others, particularly during the period in which the applicable report is being prepared. Internal controls, on the other hand, are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (i) the Company's transactions are properly authorized, (ii) the Company’s assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, and (iii) the Company's transactions are properly recorded and reported, all to permit the preparation of complete and accurate financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
 
The Company's management does not expect that their disclosure controls or their internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well developed and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of a system of controls 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 objectives under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or because the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
15

 
Scope of the Evaluation
 
The CEO and CFO’s evaluation of our disclosure controls included a review of the controls’ (i) objectives, (ii) design, (iii) implementation, and (iv) the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this quarterly report. In the course of the evaluation, the CEO and CFO sought to identify data errors, control problems and acts of fraud, and they sought to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, was being undertaken. This type of evaluation is done on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions concerning the effectiveness of our controls can be reported in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our disclosure controls and internal controls, and to make modifications if and as necessary. Our external auditors also review internal controls in connection with their audit and review activities. Our intent in this regard is that the disclosure controls and the internal controls will be maintained as dynamic systems that change (including improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant.
 
Among other matters, the evaluation was to determine whether there were any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls, which are reasonably likely to adversely affect our ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information, or whether the evaluators identified any acts of fraud, whether or not material, involving management or other employees who have a significant role in our internal controls. This information was important for both the evaluation, generally, and because the Rule 13a-14(a)/15d-14(a) Certifications, Item 5, require that the CEO and CFO disclose that information to our Board (audit committee), and our independent auditors, and to report on related matters in this section of the quarterly report. In the professional auditing literature, "significant deficiencies" are referred to as "reportable conditions". These are control issues that could have significant adverse affect on the ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data in the financial statements. A "material weakness" is defined in the auditing literature as a particularly serious reportable condition where the internal control does not reduce, to a relatively low level, the risk that misstatement caused by error or fraud may occur in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. The evaluators also sought to deal with other controls matters in the evaluation, and in each case, if a problem was identified, they considered what revisions, improvements and/or corrections to make in accordance with our ongoing procedures.
 
Conclusions
 
Based upon the evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2009 were not effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. They concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls were ineffective due to the inability to timely file the annual report on Form 10-K and the material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting as described below, which led us to file our 10-K late.  The actions being taken to address these ineffective disclosure controls and procedures are set forth below. Based upon the Evaluation, our CEO and CFO also concluded that our internal controls are not effective at that assurance level to provide reasonable assurance that our financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as more fully described below.
 
Management determined that, as of September 30, 2009, the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.  Management identified the following specific material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over its financial reporting processes (a material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis):
 
•  
Policies and Procedures for the Financial Close and Reporting Process — Currently there are no written policies or procedures that clearly define the roles in the financial close and reporting process.  The various roles and responsibilities related to this process should be defined, documented, updated and communicated.  Failure to have such policies and procedures in place amounts to a material weakness to the Company’s internal controls over its financial reporting processes.
 
16


 
•  
Inability to close our books and generate required disclosure – Due to timing constraints related to the finalization of material agreements, we recognize a material weakness regarding our inability to simultaneously close the books on a timely basis each month and quarter and to generate all the necessary disclosure for inclusion in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This material weakness caused us to be late in our filing.

•  
Accounting and Finance Personnel Weaknesses – Our current accounting staff is relatively small and we do not have the required infrastructure of meeting the higher demands of being a U.S. public company. Due to the size of our accounting staff, we have limitations in the segregation of duties throughout the financial reporting processes.  Due to the pervasive nature of this issue, the lack of segregation of duties amounts to a material weakness to the Company’s internal controls over its financial reporting processes.
 
In light of the foregoing, once we have the adequate funds, management plans to develop the following additional procedures to help address these material weaknesses.  We believe that these additional steps will further enhance and strengthen the remediation steps we implemented in fiscal 2008 to address the material weaknesses we discovered in our 2007 evaluation, which we believed were sufficient to cure such material weakness.  We recognize now that these must be expanded and developed to help ensure we achieve and maintain effective controls and procedures.  The Company will create and refine a structure in which critical accounting policies and estimates are identified, and together with other complex areas, are subject to review by other members of management as well as the Company’s independent accountant.  We also plan to enhance and test our quarter-end and year-end financial close process.  Additionally, our board of directors will increase its review of our disclosure controls and procedures.  We also intend to develop and implement policies and procedures for the financial close and reporting process, such as identifying the roles, responsibilities, methodologies, and review/approval process; we also hope to implement a detailed financial close plan and enhanced and timelier review of manual journal entries, account reconciliations, estimates and judgments.  
 
Finally, it is our intention to engage professionals on an as needed basis to assist the Company in the financial reporting process.  We believe these actions will remediate the material weaknesses by focusing additional attention and resources in our internal accounting functions.  However, the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively and even then, we cannot assure you that this will be sufficient. We may be required to expend additional resources to identify, assess and correct any additional weaknesses in disclosure or internal control. The Company cannot make assurances that it will not identify additional material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting in the future.

As of the date of the of this report, we have taken the following steps to address the above-referenced material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting to ensure that all information will be recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately:

1.  
On August 7, 2009, we filed an amended the 10-K to include the Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting;
   
2.  
We will continue to educate our management personnel on compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Securities Exchange Act  of 1934 and Regulation S-K; and

3.  
We have increased management oversight of accounting and reporting functions.
 
The presence of these material weaknesses does not mean that any misstatement has occurred in our financial statements, but only that our present controls might not be adequate to detect or prevent a material misstatement in a timely manner.
 
17


 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter to which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting. 

PART II

ITEM 1.              LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
As of September 30, 2009, there were no legal actions pending against us, or any subsidiary, or of which our property, or the property of any subsidiary, was subject nor to our knowledge are any such proceedings contemplated.

Our subsidiary, AdvisorShares Investments, LLC is currently not involved in any legal proceedings. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an arbitration proceeding was commenced on November 7, 2008 against Mr. Noah Hamman, AdvisorShares' CEO and part owner ("Member") of Arrow Investment Advisors, LLC ("Arrow"), by Arrow.  The arbitration was commenced pursuant to the provisions of the LLC Operating Agreement of Arrow and brought under the auspices of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution in New York, as required under the LLC Operating Agreement. The arbitration involves the other Members of Arrow who have asserted an ownership claim regarding Mr. Hamman's ownership interest in AdvisorShares.   Such Members claim that AdvisorShares’ business is based on the improper usurpation and conversion by Mr. Hamman of Arrow’s corporate opportunities and assets, including the business of AdvisorShares.  The arbitration hearing is currently scheduled for December 14, 2009 and a decision is expected approximately 30 days thereafter.

If the other Members of Arrow prevail on their claims, this could impact the amount of ownership Mr. Hamman indirectly holds in AdvisorShares in that Mr. Hamman could lose his 40% interest in AdvisorShares to Arrow.   In addition, if Arrow prevails, Arrow could assert other claims including that the Purchase and Contribution Agreement (to which we are a party) was inappropriately executed and seek to nullify the obligations associated with that agreement. In such event, we could lose our investment in AdvisorShares and have to undergo the process of seeking another acquisition that could provide us with the results we hope to receive from acquiring our membership interest in AdvisorShares. Although we would vigorously defend against any award in the arbitration that would cause us to lose our investment in AdvisorShares, there is no assurance that we would be successful in such defense, or if required, in locating or consummating an appropriate alternative acquisition transaction.

Other than as set forth herein, we are not a party to any material legal proceeding and to our knowledge no such proceeding is currently contemplated or pending. 

ITEM 1A.          RISK FACTORS
