ITEM 1:           BUSINESS
 
Section 1.1      The Company

Kiwibox.Com, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 19, 1988 under the name Fortunistics, Inc. On November 18, 1998, the Company changed its name to Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. On December 31, 2009, the Company changed its name to Kiwibox.Com, Inc.

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

The Company, its subsidiary Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media Inc. were separate legal entities until December 31, 2009, with Kiwibox Media, Inc. being a wholly owned subsidiary. The 1% of Magnitude, Inc. not owned by the Company constituted a minority interest which was valued at $0. On December 31, 2009, the two subsidiaries Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media, Inc.  merged into the Company.

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

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

As of December 31, 2009, there were outstanding 478,168,060 Common Shares, 1 Cumulative Preferred Share, and 85,890 Convertible Preferred Shares.

Description of Business

Overview

Prior to the implementation of its strategic business plan in 2007, the Company’s primary product was an integrated suite of proprietary software modules previously marketed under the name ErgoEnterprise™. During the latter half of fiscal year 2006, Company management concluded that the marketplace for the Company’s ergonomic software products was not developing, and would not develop to the material extent necessary in the next 12 to 24 months, to support and sustain the Company’s sales efforts. Accordingly, management determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to identify another business opportunity and pursue it for the benefit of our shareholders. On February 19, 2007, the Company, pursuant to its strategic plan to seek another business opportunity, signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the owners of a social networking website, to acquire their Kiwibox.com website and business, represented by Kiwibox Media, Inc. Pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, in August, 2007, Kiwibox Media, Inc. merged with and into Magnitude Operations, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc., in a “reverse merger” transaction. The three shareholders of Kiwibox Media, Inc. transferred and delivered all of the outstanding stock of Kiwibox Media, Inc. to Magnitude Operations, Inc. for cancellation and received in exchange shares of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. at closing. Also at closing and as a result of the merger, the separate legal existence of Magnitude Operations, Inc. ceased and Kiwibox Media, Inc. became the surviving corporation of the merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. On December 31, 2009 Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. changed its name to Kiwibox.Com, Inc.

We own and operate “Kiwibox.com”, a social networking website. Initially launched in 1999, Kiwibox.com is an online social networking website dedicated to teen users and young adults. The Kiwibox website provides online content in several categories produced by users. We have formed a user-based contingent of contributors that submit, review and comment upon content and articles from all over the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  Kiwibox has a regional-based advertising-system that allows target-group-optimized ads for advertisers and sponsors.

History

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

Kiwibox Operations

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

In mid-year 2009 we started a review process to identify new user preferences and trends in the market, partially driven by the growing presence of social websites such as facebook, mySpace, and Twitter. We also started to investigate the newest web technologies and to actively look for potential strategic partners.

In October 2009 we began trials and test runs of our web site on a new platform based on most recent web technologies.   This project encompasses the utilization of modern user tools including integrated mail systems and a proprietary messaging system, all designed to significantly increase average on-line times of users which should project favorably on our revenue profile.  Concurrently, we improved Web 2.0 Technology user friendliness and usability of web site features by means of AJAX-Technology.  In addition, we integrated features found in other social networks such as Blogging, Messaging, Live-Tickers, Chat, Photo tagging, and Event Submission. Inclusion of regional events calendars with participant listings and „Kiwi-Shots“ are intended to motivate users to frequent log-ins and interactive use of the website.

Overall, we equipped the entire website with the newest state-of-the-art advertising features which enable sponsors to self-direct their message to specific target audiences based on gender, age, geographic region, education, and interests. That also included a Google optimization with privacy options which improves Google search results.  Special attention was given to end up with a scaleable and highly redundant system that can accommodate future growth.  One of the most important features of a social network website is the Search and „be found“ function. Here we completely updated our member search function to facilitate friends searches and establish networks of users on a global basis.

Potential Revenue Streams and Marketing Strategy

Currently we generate the majority of our revenue from advertising/sponsorships.  Although we anticipate average web advertising CPM (click per thousand) rates to decrease in 2010, revenue growth is expected as the revitalized site is launched, membership activity increases and new planned marketing strategies are implemented.
With the integration of target-group optimized advertising we seek to accommodate potential advertisers, recognizing and responding to the importance of a contact-price in relation to the internet target “cloud”. It is getting more and more important to get access to the right target group and know how to direct advertising – and this is only possible in social networks.

Community means social network – and this lives from networking. Our new website is based on the latest web technology which makes it easier for users to stay connected and to interact with each other.  In addition, our website features and contents spectrum are designed to enlarge our potential user audience through inclusion of the “Young Adults” segment.

Safety

Kiwibox.com has developed a proprietary monitoring model which assists in maintaining a safe site for our member base, combining both technology based systems and user moderation.  Over the last 9 years our team has selected trusted long term members to become “Helpers” known on the Kiwibox.com site as “Guides”. These Guides utilize internal Kiwibox provided tools to remove inappropriate content as needed, guide and warn users, and continually scan the site for unsafe content or user activity. These helpers have an icon next to their username denoting that they are a KiwiHelper, thus users who believe they are not being treated respectfully, or otherwise feel uncomfortable, may easily find and reach a Guide to gain their assistance.  If a Guide deems that a user or site issue requires further escalation, they in turn immediately contact Kiwibox personnel, which then evaluate and resolve the issue.

In order to counter inherent problems in this area, our Kiwibox website already benefits from various safety features built right into the technology platform. This involves the private sphere configuration of users, contact blocks in case of larger age differentials, and anti-spam protection, as well as an intelligent self-learning user-scoring feature.

Competition

Our primary competitors are other youth targeted online social networks, including Facebook.com, MyYearbook.com, and MySpace.com. MySpace and Facebook are widely considered the industry leaders, however, recently statistics and strategic announcements from both companies has indicated a shift in the target audience from teens and college students to a much broader and more adult demographic, because of their international focus.   We plan to distinguish ourselves by targeting the US-market and by combining the social-network advantages with user generated content – from users to users.

Intellectual Property

We currently do not own any patents, trademarks, or licenses of any kind. However, the copyright on the Kiwibox.com web and mobile software and other related intellectual property rights are important assets.  We hold the Internet domain names Kiwibox.com, Kiwibox.net, Kiwibox.org, Kiwibox.info, Kiwibox.us, Kiwibox.mobi, Kiwiboxinc.com, and 4kiwi.com.

Governmental Regulations

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

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

Employees

Currently, we have 4 full-time and 3 part-time employees. Our plans for hiring additional personnel during 2010 are not yet firmed up.

ITEM 1.A:      RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

Early Stage Company; Generation of Revenues

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

Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we will remain a going concern and that our assets will increase and that we will satisfy our liabilities in the normal course of our business. Kiwibox has had minimal revenues and has incurred operating losses during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009. Our independent auditors have concluded that these factors create an uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent, among other factors, on our continued success in raising capital.   

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

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

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

 
8

 

Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources, established brand names and significantly larger membership and customer bases and we expect our competition to only intensify.

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

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

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

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

Absence of Dividends
 
We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and we are not likely to do so in the foreseeable future. We presently intend to retain earnings for use in growing our business. We may pay for some of our future expansion through debt financing, in which case lenders traditionally prohibit the payment of any such dividends. We also are prohibited from paying dividends on our common stock before we have paid all dividends accrued on our preferred stock, which accruals amounted to $479,339 at December 31, 2009. Investors should be aware, therefore, that the Company intends to re-invest any earnings back into our business for the foreseeable future and that they should have no expectations of receiving any dividends on the common shares they may purchase.

ITEM 2:             DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

We maintain offices for our Kiwibox operations at 330 W. 38th Street, New York, New York 10018, for approximately 1,400 square feet. The lease expires with the end of 2010 and we pay minimum monthly rentals of $3,769 plus tenants’ share of utility/cam/property tax charges which average approximately $800 per month.

ITEM 3:             LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

At the time of this report, the Company is not a party in any material legal proceedings.

ITEM 4:             SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of the security holders during the fourth quarter of this fiscal period.
At the beginning of 2009 we engaged in a proxy vote solicitation and on January 29, 2009, shareholders of a total 244,725,773 common shares, out of the 436,242,570 shares outstanding, voted to increase our authorized common shares to 1,400,000,000 shares and voted to ratify the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman and Company to serve as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, as follows:

ITEM 7:
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF SECTION 21E OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

The information in this annual report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such Act provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their businesses so long as they identify these statements as forward looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the projected results. All statements other than those statements of historical fact made in this report are forward looking. In particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from management’s expectations.
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Kiwibox.Com, Inc., included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.

Description of Business

In mid-year 2009 we started a review process to identify new user preferences and trends in the market, partially driven by the growing presence of social websites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. We also started to investigate the newest web technologies and to actively look for potential strategic partners.

In October 2009 we began trials and test runs of our web site on a new platform based on most recent web technologies.   This project encompasses the utilization of modern user tools including integrated mail systems and a proprietary messaging system, all designed to significantly increase average on-line times of users which should project favorably on our revenue profile.  Concurrently, we improved Web 2.0 Technology user firendliness and usability of web site features by means of AJAX-Technology.

 
13

 

In addition, we integrated features found in other social networks such as Blogging, Messaging, Live-Tickers, Chat, Photo tagging, and Event Submission. Inclusion of regional events calendars with participant listings and Kiwi-Shots are intended to motivate users to frequent log-ins and interactive use of the website. Overall, we equipped the entire website with the newest state-of-the-art advertising features which enable sponsors to self-direct their message to specific target audiences based on gender, age, geographic region, education, and interests. That also included a Google optimization with privacy options which improves Google search results.  Special attention was given to end up with a scaleable and highly redundant system that can accommodate future growth.

Currently we generate the majority of our revenue from advertising/sponsorships.  Although we anticipate  average web advertising CPM (click per thousand) rates to  decrease in 2010, revenue growth is expected as the revitalized site is launched, membership activity increases and new planned marketing strategies are implemented.
With the integration of target-group optimized advertising we seek to accommodate potential advertisers , recognizing and responding to the importance of a contact-price in relation to the internet target “cloud”. It is getting more and more important to get access to the right target group and know how to direct advertising – and this is only possible in social networks.

Results of Operations for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2008

The Company had no material revenues during 2009 and 2008.  Our website presence is not yet supported by a volume of active members-users that would provide a basis for significant growth in advertising revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2009, total revenues amounted to $50,450 compared to $59,421 in 2008. Revenues were derived entirely from the Kiwibox operations.

Gross profits amounted to $11,683 after considering $38,767 in website hosting expenses.  After deducting selling, research, and general and administrative expenses of $1,621,639 compared to the $6,229,283 recorded in 2008, the Company realized an operating loss of $1,609,956 compared to an operating loss of $6,206,870 in 2008.  Included in SG&A expenses for 2008 was a position of $3,138,751 attributable to the impairment of goodwill previously capitalized in connection with the acquisition of the Kiwibox business. Excluding this charge the 2008 operating expenses would have been $3,090,532. On this basis, management’s efforts to reduce costs and streamline operations clearly showed the desired effect even though some cost savings measures such as a reduction in staffing and non-essential expenditures took effect only during the course of the year. For the year 2010 management expects a further reduction in total operating expenses which, coupled with an expected increase in revenues, will start a process of putting the company on a path towards eventually eliminating the erosion of shareholder value.
 
The major item included in non-operating income and expenses was a charge of $600,000 accounting for the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature associated with convertible debt. In addition, the Company arrived at a settlement with a former principal of its Kiwibox subsidiary which among other, entailed the write off of a $131,262 loan to that shareholder, transacted during the time before the Company acquired Kiwibox Media Inc. We also incurred a charge of $77,806 in connection with changes in the valuation of derivative liabilities, and income of $114,597 from the extinguishment of debt, consisting of $76,855 owed to a director and $37,742 from extinguishments of other company obligations.  The year concluded with a net loss of $2,440,465. After accounting for dividends accrued on outstanding preferred stock which totaled $51,263 the net loss applicable to common shareholders was $2,491,728 or $0.006 per share, compared to a loss of $5,545,096 or $0.015 per share for the previous year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our business with new debt and equity capital since our cash flow is insufficient to provide the working capital necessary to fund our operations. We recorded $815,000 in cash from subscriptions for new equity capital from accredited private investors during 2009. In addition, we received $1,540,000 from short-term loans. We also retired $730,000 of short term debt. We have an urgent need for working capital to fund our operations. If we are unable to immediately receive new equity investments or obtain loans, we will not be able to fund our operations and we will be required to close our business.

Our deficit in working capital amounted to $2,226,345 at December 31, 2009, as compared to $5,148,331 at December 31, 2008.  Stockholders’ equity showed an impairment of $2,169,971 at the end of the year, compared to an impairment of $5,048,621 at the beginning of the year. The relative improvement stems primarily from the elimination of $3,408,618 in derivative liabilities associated with the conversion of our Series G Convertible Preferred Stock in February 2009 which reflected directly in the equity column. The negative cash flow from operations totaled $1,586,512 and was substantially financed by new debt and equity which was obtained through private placements. The new equity placements were consummated by issuance of common stock and warrants to accredited investors. Details of such transactions can be found in the “Changes and Issuance of Securities” sections in the Company’s quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q during the year, as well as in the pertinent section of this report.
 
We have no bank debt and aside from trade payables and accruals, our indebtedness at December 31, 2009, consisted of certain notes and loans aggregating $1,130,000. The position “Obligations to be settled in stock” of $132,900 includes $76,900 for common shares and options accrued for certain officers and directors pursuant to their respective employment and remuneration agreements, and $56,000 for stock and warrants due under consulting agreements. Current liabilities also include $479,339 accrued unpaid dividends on outstanding preferred stock. Such dividends will be paid only if and when capital surplus and cash-flow from operations are sufficient to cover the outstanding amounts without thereby unduly impacting the Company’s ability to continue operating and growing its business.
 
Our current cash reserves and net cash flow from operations expected during the near future will be insufficient to fund our operations and website development and marketing plan over the next twelve months. We expect to fund these requirements with further investments in form of debt or equity capital and are in discussions with potential investors. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to identify a financing source or sources and if we do, whether the terms of such financing will be acceptable or commercially reasonable.

Absent the receipt of immediate equity investment or loans, we will be compelled to close our business operations. Absent the receipt of sufficient funds, our website development, results of operations and financial condition could be subject to material adverse consequences. There can be no assurance that we will find alternative funding for the working capital required to finance on-going operations.

Subsequent Events – Fiscal Year 2010

During February 2010 we received an aggregate $125,000 in equity capital from subscriptions for “units’ consisting of common stock shares and stock purchase warrants (see “Recent Issues of Unregistered Securities” above).

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND CODE OF ETHICS

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

Board Committees

AUDIT COMMITTEE

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

COMPENSATION AND NOMINATING COMMITTEES

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

ITEM 13:
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

During 2009 and 2008, one outside director of the Company who also serves as the Company’s general and securities counsel, was paid or incurred an aggregate $185,000 and $256,800, respectively, for legal services. We also granted options for 900,000 shares, exercisable at $0.05 during four years, to this director during 2009.

A former director was paid $30,000 during 2008 for business consulting services.

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

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

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

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

During 2009, we paid or incurred an aggregate $56,308 to companies controlled by the Chief Technology Officer of the Company, for website hosting, website development and technical advisory services, and server farm installations, and $69,839 for promotional materials.

During 2009, the beneficial ownership in the Company’s securities held respectively, by Tell Capital AG of Switzerland and its principal, Ulrich Schuerch on a consolidated basis, as well as by Discover Advisory Company, located in the Bahamas, and Cambridge Services Inc. of Switzerland, in each case amounted to approximately 10% of the voting stock.  Both Discover Advisory Company and Cambridge Services Inc. are major creditors, having advanced operating capital against issuance by the Company of convertible promissory notes to during 2009. At December 31, 2009, $950,000 and $40,000 of such notes were outstanding and owed to Discover Advisory Company and Cambridge Services Inc, respectively (see section “Notes” in the Notes to Financial Statements, attached hereto).  Tell Capital AG was the lead investor in a $1 Million private placement transaction consummated in late 2009 (we refer to the Company’s filing on December 31, 2009 on Form 8-K, incorporated herein by reference). In the process, Tell Capital AG was issued a finder’s fee payment of $60,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Kiwibox.com, Inc. (f/k/a Magnitude Information Systems, Inc)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Kiwibox.com, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009. Kiwibox.com, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

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

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

Kiwibox.Com, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Organization

Kiwibox.Com, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 19, 1988 under the name Fortunistics, Inc. On November 18, 1998, the Company changed its name to Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. On December 31, 2009, the Company changed its name to Kiwibox.Com, Inc.

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

The Company, its subsidiary Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media Inc. were separate legal entities until December 31, 2009, with Kiwibox Media, Inc. being a wholly owned subsidiary. The 1% of Magnitude, Inc. not owned by the Company constituted a minority interest which was valued at $0. On December 31, 2009, the two subsidiaries Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media, Inc.  merged into the Company.

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

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

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media, Inc. through December 31, 2009. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

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

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.  Advertising expense was $42,180 and $74,073 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

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

Securities Issued for Services
The Company accounts for stock, stock options and stock warrants issued for services and compensation by employees under the fair value method.  For non-employees, the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of stock issuance or option/grant is used.  The Company has determined the fair market value of the warrants/options issued under the Black-Scholes Pricing Model. The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee's requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).
.
Reclassification of certain securities under ASC 815-40
Pursuant to ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s own Equity”, if a company has more than one contract subject to this Issue, and partial reclassification is required, there may be different methods that could be used to determine which contracts, or portions of contracts, should be reclassified.  The Company's method for reclassification of such contracts is reclassification of contracts with the latest maturity date first. During the first quarter of 2009, we reclassified a position of $3,408,618 from liabilities for derivative securities to additional paid-in capital after the indeterminate factor in connection with the conversion clause of certain convertible preferred shares was removed

Capitalization of Software /Website development costs
 
The Company capitalized outside-contracted development work in accordance with the guidelines published under ASC 350-50, “Website Development Costs”,  adopted during the quarter ended March 31, 2008.  Under ASC 350-50, costs incurred during the planning stage are expensed, while costs relating to software used to operate a web site or for developing initial graphics should be accounted for under ASC 350-40, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, unless a plan exists or is being developed to market the software externally. Under ASC 350-50, internal and external costs incurred to develop internal-use computer software during the application development stage should be capitalized. Costs to develop or obtain software that allows for access or conversion of old data by new systems should also be capitalized, excluding training costs. Fees incurred for web site hosting, which involve the payment of a specified, periodic fee to an Internet service provider in return for hosting the web site on its server(s) connected to the Internet, are expensed over the period of benefit, and included in cost of sales in the accompanying financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Under ASC 820, a framework was established for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Since the number of shares issuable under the Company’s Series G convertible preferred stock was indeterminable during the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had measured the fair value of warrants and options outstanding at December 31, 2008, which was determined to be $3,330,812, measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) under a Black-Scholes valuation method. The change in value during the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 was a loss of $77,806 and during the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 a loss of $128,159, all reported in the Statement of Operations under Other Income (Expense).

The Company adopted the provisions of "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial  Liabilities" under ASC 820, which included an amendment with respect to improvement of financial  reporting of certain  investments  in debt and  equity  securities.  This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The implementation of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009.

Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the Company’s income tax return.  Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes.  Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial- and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset.
  
Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period.  Common Stock equivalents have not been included in this computation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2009, there were 10,453,542 stock options, stock purchase warrants for 178,189,648 common shares, and 85,890 preferred shares, convertible at the option of the holders into 729,537 common shares outstanding. In addition, there was issued certain convertible debt which may be converted, at the option of the holders, into up to 60,000,000 common shares.
 
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue recognition policy for software sales is in accordance with ASC 985-605 “Software Revenue Recognition”. Revenue is recognized at the time of licensing provided that the resulting receivable is deemed probable of collection and is fixed or determinable. Revenue from software maintenance contracts is recognized ratably as earned. When a sales contract includes multiple elements, revenues are allocated to the various elements based on Company-specific objective evidence of fair value, regardless of any separate prices for each element that may be stated within the contract.

Kiwibox.Com, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

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

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for its goodwill and intangible assets pursuant to ASC 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other".  Under ASC 350, intangibles with definite lives continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or contractual terms.  Goodwill and intangibles with  indefinite  lives  are  evaluated  at least  annually  for  impairment  by comparing the asset's  estimated  fair value with its carrying  value,  based on cash flow methodology.

The Company’s intangible assets including goodwill are subject to impairment testing in the event of certain indicators.  Impairment in the carrying value of an asset is recognized whenever anticipated future cash flows (undiscounted) from an asset are estimated to be less than its carrying value.  The amount of the impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value.
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.  GOING CONCERN
The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on increasing sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. Our revenues during the foreseeable future are insufficient to finance our business and we are entirely dependent on the willingness of existing investors to continue supporting the Company with working capital loans and equity investments, and our ability to find new investors should the financial support from existing investors prove to be insufficient. If we were unable to obtain a steady flow of new debt or equity-based working capital we would be forced to cease operation. In their report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, our auditors have made reference to the fact that, as a result of the losses incurred, there was substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans are to continue seeking equity and debt capital until cash flow from operations cover funding needs.

3.  CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK

The Company maintains cash balances in a financial institution which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.  Balances in these accounts may, at times, exceed the federally insured limits. At December 31, 2009, cash balances in bank accounts did not exceed this limit. The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers located throughout the U.S. and overseas.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

During 2009, a new software platform developed by a third party was adapted for use by the Company and placed into service. The development costs associated with this adaptation, amounting to $21,758 were capitalized and the remaining unamortized balance of the 2008 capitalized costs, totaling $30,771 were written off as they were deemed to be impaired. The impairment is disclosed in Other Income (Expense) in the Statement of Operations. The software is being amortized over three years, with estimated amortization over the next three years expected to be $7,253, $7,253 and $5,439, respectively. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $23,363 and $12,329, respectively.

During 2009 and 2008, one outside director of the Company who also serves as the Company’s general and securities counsel, was paid an aggregate $180,000 and $256,800, respectively, for legal services. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the director agreed to forgive a total of $213,570 in legal fees incurred as of April 2009, which was treated as paid-in capital. In 2009 the director also earned options for 900,000 restricted shares, valued at $8,910, which have yet to be issued. The balance due to this director at December 31, 2008 was $5,000.

During 2009 we paid our Chief Executive Officer $27,000 for outside consulting services performed.

During 2009, we incurred an aggregate $56,308 to companies controlled by the Chief Technology Officer of the Company, for website hosting, website development and technical advisory services, and server farm installations, and paid $69,839 for promotional materials.

During 2009, the beneficial ownership in the Company’s securities held respectively, by Tell Capital AG of Switzerland and its principal, Ulrich Schuerch on a consolidated basis, as well as by Discover Advisory Company, located in the Bahamas, and Cambridge Services Inc. of Switzerland, in each case amounted to approximately 10% of the voting stock.  Both Discover Advisory Company and Cambridge Services Inc. are major creditors, having advanced operating capital against issuance by the Company of convertible promissory notes to during 2009. At December 31, 2009, $950,000 and $40,000 of such notes were outstanding and owed to Discover Advisory Company and Cambridge Services Inc, respectively (see section “Notes” in the Notes to Financial Statements, attached hereto).  Tell Capital AG was the lead investor in a $1 Million private placement transaction consummated in late 2009 (we refer to the Company’s filing on December 31, 2009 on Form 8-K, incorporated herein by reference). In the process, we paid a fee of $60,000 to a foreign financial consulting firm which acted as a finder.

A former director was paid $30,000 during 2008 for business consulting services.

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

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

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

21.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

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

22.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
In August 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the measurement of liabilities at fair value. The guidance provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted market price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, an entity is required to measure fair value using a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset or, if unavailable, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar assets when traded as assets. If none of this information is available, an entity should use a valuation technique in accordance with existing fair valuation principles. We adopted the guidance in 2009, and there was no material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related footnotes.

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance for estimating fair value when the market activity for an asset or liability has declined significantly. We adopted the guidance in 2009 with no significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or related footnotes. See Note 21 — Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative fair value disclosure guidance for financial instruments. The guidance requires disclosures for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. The guidance also requires those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. We adopted the guidance in 2009 with no significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or related footnotes. See Note 21 — Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Effective December 29, 2007, we adopted the guidance as it applies to our financial instruments. Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the guidance for our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. The adoption of the guidance did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or related footnotes. See Note 21 — Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial statements.
 
Derivatives and Hedging
In March 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for enhanced disclosures for derivative instruments, including those used in hedging activities. Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the guidance. The adoption of the guidance did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements or related footnotes.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)
 
Recent Accounting Developments
In September 2009, FASB issued the Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which establishes only two levels of U.S. GAAP, authoritative and non-authoritative. The standard is the exclusive source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which are sources of authoritative GAAP, for SEC registrants. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The standard became effective in the fourth quarter of 2009 and as it was not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance which amends the scope of existing software revenue recognition accounting. Tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality would be scoped out of the accounting guidance on software and accounted for based on other appropriate revenue recognition guidance. This guidance should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. Full retrospective application of the new guidance is optional. This guidance must be adopted in the same period that we adopt the amended accounting for arrangements with multiple deliverables described in the preceding paragraph. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB amended revenue recognition guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables. The guidance eliminates the residual method of revenue recognition and allows the use of management’s best estimate of selling price for individual elements of an arrangement when vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE), vendor objective evidence (VOE) or third-party evidence (TPE) is unavailable. Under the guidance, non-software components of tangible products and certain software components of tangible products have been removed from the scope of existing software revenue recognition guidance and will be recognized in a manner similar for other tangible products. This guidance should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. Full retrospective application of the guidance is optional. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2009, FASB issued authoritative guidance, which changes the consolidation model for variable interest entities (VIEs). The standard requires companies to qualitatively assess the determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE based on whether the company (1) has the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on our results of operations and financial position.
