SPARE BACKUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN

Spare Backup, Inc., (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in December 1999. The Company sells on-line backup solutions software and services to individuals, business professionals, small office and home office companies, and small to medium sized businesses.

The balance sheet presented as of June 30, 2010 has been derived from our audited financial statements. The unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, but we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2009 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2010.  The results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2010.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred net losses of approximately $6 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and to generate profitable operations in the future. Management plans to continue to provide for its capital requirements by issuing additional equity securities and debt. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its business plan or generate positive operating results.

These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Spare Backup and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 periods. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to share-based payments and useful life of property and equipment. Actual results will differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risks

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily from cash and cash equivalents.
 
 
F-4

 
 
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents accounts are held at financial institutions and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, up to $250,000. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, the Company has reached bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company periodically evaluates the credit quality of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits.

The Company's accounts receivable were due from two customers, both of which are located in the United Kingdom. One of the Company’s customers accounted for 98% of its accounts receivables at December 31, 2009.   There are no accounts receivables at June 30, 2010.

Accounts Receivable

The Company has a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the bad debt expense after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, management has determined that an allowance is not necessary.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, which primarily consists of office equipment and computer software, are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in other income (expense) in the accompanying statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows the guidance of the FASB ASC 605-10-S99 "Revenue Recognition Overall – SEC Materials". The Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, on-line back-up services have been rendered, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company has collected annual fees related to online back-up services. Online back up service fees received in advance or collected up front are reflected as deferred revenue on the accompanying balance sheet. Deferred revenue as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 amounted to $8,153 and $621,127, respectively, and will be recognized as revenue over the respective subscription period.

Revenue consists of the gross value of billings to clients. The Company reports this revenue gross in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Pronouncements (“GAAP”) because it is responsible for fulfillment of the service, has substantial latitude in setting price and assumes the credit risk for the entire amount of the sale, and it is responsible for the payment of all obligations incurred for sales marketing and commissions.

Customer Concentration

One of the Company's customers accounted for approximately 85% of its revenues during the six-month period ending June 30, 2010. One of the Company’s customers accounted for 87% of the Company’s revenue during the six-month period ending June 30, 2009.

Product Concentration

The Company offers subscriptions to online and software backup products to assist individuals, small businesses and home business users.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
 
 
Level 1:    
Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
Level 2:    
Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
 
Level 3:    
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The Company did not have any Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, with the exception of its convertible promissory notes.  The carrying amount of the convertible promissory notes at June 30, 2010 and December 31 2009, approximate their respective fair value based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
 
Cash and cash equivalents include money market securities that are considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. These securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy.
 
In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 Fair Value Option was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its qualifying financial instruments.

Software Development Costs

Costs incurred in the research and development of software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. After technological feasibility is established, any additional costs are capitalized in accordance with FASB ASC 985-20, “Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed.” The Company believes that the current process for developing software is essentially completed concurrently with the establishment of technological feasibility. Accordingly, no software development costs have been capitalized as of June 30, 2010. Instead, such amounts are included in the statement of operations under the caption "Research and development".

Foreign Currency Transactions

The Company periodically engages in transactions in countries outside the United States which may result in foreign currency transaction gains or losses. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recognized as foreign currency gain (loss) in the statement of operations of the period incurred.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC-740 – Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized, but no less than quarterly.

Share-based Payments

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) for all the stock awards granted after December 31, 2005, and granted prior to but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. See Note 7 for further information regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation assumptions and expenses. The Company elected to use the modified prospective transition method as permitted by ASC 718.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company changed its method of attributing the value of stock-based compensation to expense from the accelerated multiple-option approach to the straight-line single option method. Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 will continue to be recognized using the accelerated multiple-option approach while compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted on or subsequent to January 1, 2006 has been and will continue to be recognized using the straight-line single-option approach.

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its options, which incorporates various subjective assumptions including volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividend yield to calculate the fair value of stock option awards. Compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reflects estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the reverse treasury stock method). The outstanding options, warrants and shares equivalent issuable pursuant to convertible promissory notes amounted to 116,379,937 and 91,361,841 at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Accordingly, these common share equivalents at June 30, 2010 and 2009 are excluded from the loss per share computation for that period due to their antidilutive effect.

NOTE 8 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The adoption of ASC 815 will affect accounting for convertible instruments and warrants with provisions that protect holders from declines in the stock price ("round-down" provisions). Warrants with such provisions will no longer be recorded in equity. The Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application by an entity that has previously adopted an alternative accounting policy is not permitted.

Instruments with round-down protection are not considered indexed to a company's own stock under GAAP, because neither the occurrence of a sale of common stock by the company at market nor the issuance of another equity-linked instrument with a lower strike price is an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares. The appendix to the Consensus contains an example (example 8) of warrants with round-down provisions that concludes they are not indexed to the company's owned stock. A round-down provision may be viewed by some as a form of guarantee provided to the holder of the instrument, which is inconsistent with equity classification.

GAAP’s guidance is to be applied to outstanding instruments as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the Issue is applied. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle shall be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity) for that fiscal year, presented separately. The cumulative-effect adjustment is the difference between the amounts recognized in the statement of financial position before initial application of this Issue and the amounts recognized in the statement of financial position at initial application of this Issue. The amounts recognized in the statement of financial position as a result of the initial application of this Issue shall be determined based on the amounts that would have been recognized if the guidance in this Issue had been applied from the issuance date of the instrument.

Since the Company did not previously account for warrants with round-down provisions as a liability in previously issued financial statements earlier application of GAAP is not permitted.

The Company recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2009 in the amount of the estimated fair value of such warrants and embedded conversion features and will record future changes in fair value in results of operations. Based on fair value computations of estimated fair value, using a $0.18 closing stock price on December 31, 2008 there would be a cumulative effect of approximately $467,000 as of January 1, 2009, which would be recorded as a credit to derivative liability and debit to accumulated deficit.

The variation in fair value of the derivative liabilities between measurement dates amounted to an increase of $82,619 and a decrease of $17,725 during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in fair value of the derivative liabilities has been recognized as other income/expense.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
Overview
 
Our flagship product is Spare Backup, a fully-automated remote backup solution designed and developed especially for the small office or home environment which automatically and efficiently backs up all data on selected laptop or desktop computers, as well as mobile devices. As a result, we believe small companies can ensure file safety in PCs and laptops for backup and retrieval. We launched our Spare Back-up service and software product version 1.0 in March 2005 and we are currently offering version 6.0 of the product. Our Spare Switch software enables users to complete the transfer of personal files from one personal computer (PC) to another via a high speed Internet connection. We focus on owners and executives of businesses that use technology to support their businesses, but do not have an IT (information technology) department, as well as consumers who desire to secure available files and documents vital to the continuity of their operations, business, or personal information. Our concept is to develop a suite of complementary products and services which are designed for use by technical and non-technical users featuring a user interface that can cross both sets of users. Our software has unique characteristics of additional coding that enables easy to scale infrastructure and support elements which we believe provides a competitive advantage over other providers whose products require large investments in hardware, as well as professional installation, training and support.

In 2009 Spare formed its Enterprise division, as we have successfully launched our product with Sony Corp.

During 2009, we introduced our new advertising division, which has the ability to sell or cross market products to our data base of clients. We can partner with our exiting clients and or solicit new customers to cross market products based on the end users behavior.

Currently, our services include the following:

· My Hub - offers 2 GB of free storage to all customers from the web-site and at point of sale. We are now also offering the option to purchase monthly and annual plans for multiple devices. My Hub offers Mobile Sync, which provides customers with the ability to sync their mobile phones, including data, contacts and photos, allowing them to be accessed online. My Hub also includes PC Backup and Music Anywhere, which allows our customer to access all of their music from anywhere in the world.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 we have been developing various new product lines, such as Spare Mobile and Spare Sync/Collaborate, as well as improving our already existing products such as Spare Backup and Spare Switch.  Spare Mobile focuses on mobile phones, ensuring users that their contacts, photos and data are securely backed up and can be accessed from anywhere in the world.  Spare Sync/Collaborate allows our customers to move date effortlessly between devices. We have worked on ensuring that our products are compatible with all of the newest technologies, allowing connection between laptops, cameras, televisions, mobile phones and other mobile devices.  We have improved our photo storage along with our mobile storage. New to our products, we now provide the back up of apps, games, movies, books, calendar and mail. Customers can now also remotely control their various devices from other devices, making sharing content and moving files and data with a single touch. Our customers now have the ability to find their mobile phones and remotely control it, providing them with the opportunity to get the location, lock the device and wipe the date via a browser.
 
The following is an example of our website, showing the different device and information that our products cover, as well as an example of what a user will see when managing their devices and information.

We have generated minimal revenue since our inception on September 12, 2002, and have incurred net losses of approximately $102 million from cash and non-cash activity since inception through March 31, 2010. Our current operations are not an adequate source of cash to fund our current operations and we have relied on funds raised from the sale of our securities to provide sufficient cash to operate our business.  We have secured a line of credit of $10 million; at June 30, 2010 we drew down a small amount of the line.  We plan to draw down more over the remainder of fiscal 2010 and use portions of it to pay off liabilities.
 
Financing:
 
We have negotiated down our liabilities and have settled numerous lawsuits in favorably.  We have notified the IRS on our tax issue and have scheduled a payment at the end of July.  The financing we have announced will enable the company to eliminate its debt, and furnish the company with the necessary working capital to carry the company until it is cash flow positive.   The current financing environment has been challenging but we are encouraged to have the current plans in place so we can focus on growing the business and executing on our business model.
 
Second Generation Software:
 
We have currently completed the enhancement of software and have successfully deployed it  “My Hub” for Car Phone Warehouse. Training started in the third quarter, where trainers are going to all stores to explain the offering. This has been possible through feedback from the initial user base, as well, comments from focus groups.  We completely redesigned the user experience.  We have established a simple sign up process that automatically downloads to both the mobile client through an “sms” message, as well, backs up onto the client’s computer.   We are marketing this new software with an upfront one-year subscription fee.   This will accelerate the company’s path to cash flow growth, and is easily deployed by the sales person at the retail point of purchase.

Even though the company has worked to complete the development of its second generation software, it has also succeeded in making significant progress in reducing costs.  The company anticipates that it will see the benefits of our R&D outsourcing throughout the remainder of the year. As our products gain market acceptance and our roll-outs continue with our current and future partners we anticipate significant improvement in both revenues and profitability.  We have placed a great deal of emphasis on our mobile platforms, and specifically mobile phones, as we have completed the deployment of our software so that it is compatible for all phones varities. The following lists the mobile operating systems we support: Blackberry OS v4.6, 4.7 and 5.0, Android OS v1.5, 1.6 and 2.1, WinMobile OS v6.1 and 6.5, Java S60 Phones with MIDP 2.0 and 2.1, iPhone OS v3.0, 3.1 and 4.0.
 
New business relationships:
 
We have replaced DSGI with Comet stores and the Car Phone Warehouse group, which includes Best Buy Europe, and their affiliates throughout Europe, providing them, with custom applications designed specifically for them. The process of back filing DSGI has taken almost three quarters to complete, as we have gone from providing back up service, to expanding our offerings to cloud service, mobile backup, syncing and a suite of other services as previously discussed. We now expect to start seeing improvement throughout the rest of the year, as we did last year when we launched DSGI.
 
We are continuing to expand our current distribution partners with scheduled launches throughout the remanding part of the year. We are adding new partners, along with previously announced partners, such as Wirefly/Simplexity and Comet that will soon begin selling the custom solutions that we developed. We are also looking into and negotiating licensing deals where potential partners can license our software for a flat fee as they incur all costs associated, such as storage and customer support. It is still to early to tell if our cloud offerings are going to be successful, however, we believe very strongly in its potential. We believe that our technology is already proven with our box sales product at retail and as the mobile phone market, specifically smart phones, continues to grow. We believe our offerings will adopt to the customers as our cloud system provides smart phones with the ability to link into our cloud and connect to multiple devices.
 
We are working on providing our partners with real time data analytics from their consumers via Spare's subsidiary company SMA, which will provide them with behavioral pattern matching and market research.
 
We are currently in negotiations with certain U.S. and South Pacific partners, which we are hoping to secure throughout the remainder of the year. We are now in the process of rapidly expanding sales as our software is completed and ready to be distributed.

Revenues
 
Our net revenues primarily consist of subscription fees charged for online back-up services. Our net revenues decreased during the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2010, when compared to the comparable periods in 2009, due to an decrease in the base over which deferred revenue is amortized. The deferred revenue is resulted from our previous partnership with DSG International. During the end of fiscal 2009, we mutually ended our agreement with DSG International, and therefore expect the amount of revenue recognized from the amortization of deferred revenue to decline over fiscal year 2010. We are currently concentrating our resources on bringing in new customers to replace this missing income.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation expenses paid to our software engineers, employees and consultants in conjunction with the development or enhancement of our products. Our research and development expenses for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2010 include costs associated with continued development of user interfaces and additional products, including version 6.0 of Spare-Backup, a family pack, and our SMB (small to medium business) products Spare’s cloud or Spare Room, Spare Mobile, Spare Switch, Spare Synchronization and Spare Diagnostics, and reflected increased research and development efforts to successfully meet various deadlines set by our OEM partners. The increase in our research and development expenses when compared to the comparable period in 2009 is primarily attributable to an increased in the our efforts to produce new products and appeal to new customers as previously mentioned.  We have been steadily working to ensure that our services operate with the latest technologies, including the following mobile operating system: Blackberry OS v4.6, 4.7 and 5.0, Android OS v1.5, 1.6 and 2.1, WinMobile OS v6.1 and 6.5, Java S60 Phones with MIDP 2.0 and 2.1, iPhone OS v3.0, 3.1 and 4.0. We have also worked very hard to ensure that we are compatible with the following mobile devices, as we are adding new devices on a weekly basis:

As a result of the completion of our software, we are now moving from full time development, to maintenance mode, where we will be working on updates for any new handsets and networks that our current and new business brings us throughout the world.
 
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general, and administrative expenses primarily consist of consultant fees related to the marketing and enhancement of our products, advertising, as well as other general and administrative expenses, such as payroll expenses, necessary to support our existing and anticipated growth in our revenues and legal and professional fees.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 when compared with the prior period is primarily due to the following:

 
a decrease in sales and marketing of approximately $400,000 due to paying commissions to DSG International occurring only during the 2009 period than the comparable period in 2010;
 
a decrease in employee related costs of approximately $124,000 due to the company’s effort to concentrate their resources;
 
a decrease in depreciation expense of approximately $156,000 due to certain assets being fully depreciated during 2009 and the first quarter of 2010; offset by,
 
an increase in consulting fees of approximately $555,000 due primarily to the issuance of shares of common stock for consulting services, such services are related to worldwide business development as we attempt to expand our international markets; and
 
an increase in warrant  expense of approximately $265,00 due to the modification of certain warrant terms.
 
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 when compared with the prior period is primarily due to the following:

 
a decrease in sales and marketing of approximately $486,000 due to paying commissions to DSG International occurring only during the 2009 period than the comparable period in 2010;
 
a decrease in employee related costs of approximately $846,000 due to the company’s effort to concentrate their resources;
 
a decrease in depreciation expense of approximately $315,000 due to certain assets being fully depreciated during 2009 and the first quarter of 2010; offset by,
 
an increase in professional and consulting fees of approximately $752,000 due primarily to the issuance of shares of common stock  and options for services, such services are related to worldwide business development as we attempt to expand our international markets; and
 
an increase in warrant  expense of approximately $265,00 due to the modification of certain warrant terms.

Other Expenses
 
 
24

 

Our total other expenses, net for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2010 decreased $100,719 and $424,159, or approximately 42.5% and 149.1%, respectively, from the same period in fiscal 2009. The decrease in total other expenses from 2010 to 2009 were primarily attributable to the following:

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities and Derivative Liabilities Expense

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities results from the changes in the fair value of the derivative liability due to the application of ASC 815, resulting in either income or expense. The difference in fair value of the derivative liabilities between the date of their issuance and their measurement date, which amounted to a decrease of approximately $118,000 and $161,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively has been recognized as other income in those periods. The difference in fair value of the derivative liabilities between the date of their issuance and their measurement date, which amounted to an increase and a decrease of approximately $83,000 and $17,000, respectively for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively has been recognized as other income in those periods.

Historically we have been at a disadvantage in negotiating the terms of financing transactions which have resulted in the recognition of these derivative liabilities. We have reassessed at June 30, 2010, the number of authorized but unissued shares and taking into consideration the floorless feature in connection with the redemption provision on the 10% and 8% convertible promissory notes and have concluded that a derivative liability of approximately $257,000 is necessary.

Gain from Debt Settlement

During 2010, we settled numerous court cases and disputes with vendors. As a result, we recognized a total gain from debt settlement of approximately $296,000, representing a decrease of approximately $2,000, or 0.7% from 2009.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest recognized in connection with the amortization of debt discount and interest on our convertible promissory notes. The increase in interest expense during the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2010 when compared to the comparable 2009 periods of approximately $57,000 and $322,000, or 14.3% and 53.6%, respectively.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At June 30, 2010, our cash overdraft amounted to approximately $20,000 and our working deficit amounted to approximately $9,910,000 as compared with cash overdraft of approximately $43,000 and a working deficit of approximately $9,414,000 at December 31, 2009.
 
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, we used cash of approximately $2,723,000 in our operating activities. Our cash used in operating activities was comprised of our net loss of approximately $5,989,000 adjusted for the following:
 
 
Fair value of options and warrants issued to employees of approximately $533,000;
 
Depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of debt discount, amortization of prepaid expenses and amortization deferred financing costs of approximately $503,000;
 
Fair value of convertible promissory notes modification of approximately $125,000;
 
Fair value of common stock issued in connection with note payable issuance of approximately $184,000;
 
Fair value of options and warrants issued to consultants of approximately $235,000;
 
Fair value of option and warrant modifications of approximately $721,000;
 
Fair value of common stock issued in connection with services rendered of approximately $618,000; offset by the
 
Gain from debt settlement of approximately $296,000
 
 
25

 
 
Additionally, the following variations in operating assets and liabilities impacted our cash used in operating activity:
 
 
Increase in accrued interest on convertible promissory notes of approximately $158,000, resulting from the 8% convertible notes issued in later fiscal 2009.
 
Increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued payroll taxes of approximately $871,000, resulting from an increase of unpaid payroll taxes; offset by the
 
Decrease in deferred revenue of approximately $613,000, resulting from the mutual release of our agreement with DSG International.
 
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, we incurred capital expenditures of approximately $48,000. Such capital expenditures were primarily made to provide more servers to support our back-up services.
 
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, we generated cash from financing activities of approximately $2,770,000, which primarily consisted of the proceeds from notes payable of $1,100,000, the net issuance of common stock of approximately $1,547,000, proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $6,000, proceeds from the exercise of warrants of approximately $545,000, repayment of notes payable of $405,000 and decrease in cash overdraft of approximately $24,000.
 
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, we used cash of approximately $2,120,000 in our operating activities. Our cash used in operating activities was comprised of our net loss of approximately $4,771,000 adjusted for the following:

Fair value of options and warrants issued to consultants of approximately $126,000;
 
Fair value of common stock issued in connection with services rendered of approximately $226,000; offset by the
 
Gain from debt settlement of approximately $298,000
 
Additionally, the following variations in operating assets and liabilities impacted our cash used in operating activity:
 
 
Increase in accrued interest on convertible promissory notes of approximately $177,000, resulting from the issuance of 8% convertible promissory notes during the period;
 
Increase in deferred revenue of approximately $1,262,000, resulting from an increased number of consumers successfully prepaying for online backup services;
 
Increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued payroll taxes of approximately $657,000, resulting from an increase in expenditures; offset by the
 
Increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of approximately $697,000, resulting from an increase in the prepaid commissions and marketing fees associated with our DSG International agreement; and
 
Increase in accounts receivable of approximately $453,000, resulting from our relationship with DSG International.

Capital Raising Transactions
 
 
26

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, we issued in aggregate 13,761,807 common shares pursuant to a private placement which generated gross proceeds of approximately $1,547,475. In connection with this private placement, we issued 11,136,807 warrants exercisable at a price range of $0.12 to $0.20 per share. The warrants expire three years from the date of grant. We paid finder's fee of $39,000.

During July and August 2010, we issued in aggregate 3,916,666 common shares pursuant to a private placement which generate gross proceeds of approximately $392,000. In connection with this private placement, we issued 3,916,666 warrants exercisable at $0.12 per share. The warrants expire three years from the date of grant.

Going Concern
 
We have generated minimal revenue since our inception on September 12, 2002, and have incurred net losses of approximately $106 million from cash and non-cash activity since inception through June 30, 2010. Our current operations are not an adequate source of cash to fund our current operations and we have relied on funds raised from the sale of our securities to provide sufficient cash to operate our business. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our net losses and cash used in operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities when they become due and to generate profitable operations in the future. We have no firm commitments from any third party to provide this financing and we can offer no assurances that we will be successful in raising working capital as needed particularly in the current economic climate. If we are unable to raise capital as needed, it is possible that we would be required to cease operations. The financial statements included in this report do not include any adjustments to reflect future adverse effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if we are not successful.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report. We believe that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables our company to provide useful and reliable financial information about the company's operating results and financial condition.

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

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 718 "Compensation-Stock Compensation" under the modified prospective method. ASC 718 eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method prescribed under APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. Under the modified prospective method, we are required to recognize compensation cost for share-based payments to employees based on their grant-date fair value from the beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied. For periods prior to adoption, the financial statements are unchanged, and the pro forma disclosures previously required by ASC 718, will continue to be required under ASC 718 to the extent those amounts differ from those in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
 
The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". The Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, on-line back-up services have been rendered, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Online back up service fees received in advance are reflected as deferred revenue on the accompanying balance sheet. Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2008 amounted to $240,436 and will be recognized as revenue over the respective service period.

Revenue consists of the gross value of billings to clients. The Company reports this revenue gross in accordance with EITF 99-19 because it is responsible for fulfillment of the service, has substantial latitude in setting price and assumes the credit risk for the entire amount of the sale, and it is responsible for the payment of all obligations incurred for sales marketing and commissions.
 
Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Not applicable for a smaller reporting company.
 
Item 4.   Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We do not maintain proper “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on his evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our President who also serves as our principal financial and accounting officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC rules and regulations, and that such information is not accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
