Item 1. Business.
 
Corporate Overview
 
In March 1998, we were incorporated in Delaware under the name “International Plastic Technologies, Inc.” as a holding company for the purpose of acquiring the common stock of Electronic Hardware Corp. (“EHC”) and Compact Disc Packaging Corp., (“CDP”), an inactive corporation. On December 7, 1998, we changed our name to “International Smart Sourcing, Inc.”  On May 7, 1999, we formed a company called Smart Sourcing Inc. (“SSI,” and together with EHC and CDP, the “Subsidiaries”), a Delaware corporation.  EHC manufactured, distributed and warehoused knobs, dials and pointers. SSI specialized in assisting companies in reducing their cost of manufacturing by outsourcing manufacturing in China.
 
On June 26, 2000, we changed our name to “CHINAB2BSOURCING.COM, INC.”  We specialized in the outsourcing of manufacturing and the manufacturing of injection molded plastic components, products and assemblies. We performed the manufacturing and outsourcing functions for our customers, through our United States facilities and through our outsourcing contacts and offices in the People’s Republic of China.  On August 17, 2001, we changed our name back to “International Smart Sourcing, Inc.”
 
On September 28, 2006, we sold the Subsidiaries.  Effective September 28, 2006, we began reporting as a development-stage company.
 
On June 9, 2009, we closed certain transactions contemplated in a certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of March 26, 2009 (the “Agreement”) which we entered into with Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc., a privately held Texas corporation (“NETW”), and certain former shareholders of NETW. At the closing, we acquired 1,250,528 shares, or approximately 97.55%, of common stock of NETW outstanding on such date (the “Reverse Merger”). In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, we issued 21,460,622 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of NETW, in exchange for the acquisition, by our Company, of approximately 97.55% of the outstanding common shares of NETW.
 
As of the closing date, the former shareholders of NETW hold approximately 66% of the issued and outstanding common shares of our Company. The issuance of the 21,460,622 common shares to the former shareholders of NETW was deemed to be a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes, by ISSI of NETW, as NETW will control the post-merged company. Accordingly, NETW, the accounting acquirer entity, is regarded as the predecessor entity as of June 9, 2009.
 
Upon the completion of the Reverse Merger, we became the ultimate parent company of NETW and we changed our name from “International Smart Sourcing, Inc.” to “Network 1 Financial Group, Inc.” (“NETW Group” or the “Company”).
 
The address of our principal executive offices is 2 Bridge Avenue, 4th Floor, Red Bank, New Jersey 07701. Our telephone number is (732) 758-9001. Our facsimile number is (732) 758-6671.
 
Our common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “NTFL.”
 
Current Business of our Company
 
As of June 9, 2009, the closing date of the Reverse Merger, through our wholly owned subsidiary, NETW, we commenced the business of providing broker-dealer services. NETW is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC, 40 states and Puerto Rico. NETW is an introducing broker-dealer that clears all transactions with and for customers on a fully disclosed basis with its clearing broker, Southwest Securities, a NYSE member firm. NETW is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) and NASDAQ.
 
Our customer base is made up primarily of individual investors. We generate income from transactional business, mutual fund sales, business consulting fees, finder’s fees, annuity sales, register representative investment advisor fees, fees for providing investment banking services, placement agent fees for capital raises, bond transactions, and underwriting fees and concessions.

We compete with other broker-dealers by offering services to small and microcap public companies which we believe are significantly underserved by the investment community. These companies may have little or no analysts following their growth and may be shut out of the capital markets due to their size and current market cap. Many of our competitors are larger and have substantially more capital resources than us, and could potentially enter our market space.

Employees

We currently have 19 full-time employees and 2 part-time employees. None of our employees are represented by a union. We believe that our relationship with all of our employees is good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Not applicable.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

Not applicable.

Item 2. Properties.

We currently lease office space that is approximately 3800 square feet at 2 Bridge Avenue, 4th Floor, Red Bank, New Jersey 07701. In August 2009, the term of the lease was extended from June 30, 2010 to June 30, 2012 and the annual rent was reduced to $108,000 per year.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

There are no pending, nor to our knowledge threatened, legal proceedings against us.

Dividend Policy on Common Stock
 
We have not given any cash dividends to our common stockholders in the last two fiscal years. In addition, we intend to retain future earnings for use in our business for the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends, if any, in the future is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

We do not have any equity compensation plans in place. However, the Company sponsors a 401(k) profit-sharing plan that covers substantially all of its employees. The plan provides for a discretionary annual contribution, and is allocated in proportion to compensation. In addition, each participant may elect to contribute to the Plan by way of a salary deduction. An employee becomes fully vested in our contribution after 6 years and is fully vested in his own contributions immediately.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with the audited financial statements and the notes to the audited financial statements attached thereto and the other financial information included elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.
 
Basis of Presentation of Financial Information
 
On June 9, 2009, we completed the Reverse Merger with NETW and the former shareholders of NETW. As a result of the Reverse Merger, we abandoned our previous business and commenced the business of being an introducing broker-dealer. Because we are the successor business to NETW and because the operations and assets of NETW represent our entire business and operations from the closing date of the Reverse Merger, our management’s discussion and analysis and audited financial statements are based on the consolidated financial results of post-merged NETW Group for the relevant periods. NETW Group will continue to report on a quarterly and year-end basis, with a fiscal year end of June 30.
 
Overview
 
Our wholly owned, operating subsidiary, NETW, is an introducing broker-dealer that clears all transactions with and for customers on a fully disclosed basis with a clearing broker. NETW is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).
 
Management believes that the trend for smaller companies that are public is to grow through consolidation or seek investors to help fuel their growth in their market space. Our management has experience in assisting smaller companies in meeting their capital needs. The inherent risk of this market space is that smaller companies could fail to compete with larger competitors and risk the failure of their business. Since these businesses are not proven in respect of size and penetration of their product, we may be unable to attract sufficient capital for our investment banking clients resulting in a decrease of fees generated. However, management believes that we can attract registered personnel to our firm because the market we are serving and the opportunities we provide will provide the ability to increase our sales force.
 
It is our goal to provide investment banking support for small and microcap companies who have had an extremely difficult time finding professional investment banking assistance in growing their business. We will provide such services as capital raising, bank financing, merger and acquisition assistance and traditional financial consulting.
 
We also believe that the turmoil surrounding the financial community will allow the firm to attract talented people in investment banking and sales that would be difficult to attract in other times. We believe these professionals should help build the firm’s service and capital-raising abilities.
 
The current economic environment has adversely impacted our financial condition as it has for many financial institutions. Although the revenue has not declined significantly, the product mix has impacted the firm’s profitability. During these times the day-to-day transactional business of the firm has declined as investors have been reluctant to enter the capital markets. The firm’s net worth has decreased and our liquidity has been impacted. We have taken steps to reduce expenses and realign our activities into investment banking.  Management believes that the Reverse Merger provided us with the opportunity to aggressively grow NETW and expand its services at a time when most financial institutions are retrenching.

During the year ended June 30, 2010, NETW investment banking fees decreased, however its investment advisory consulting fees increased.  In the same period, we had a decrease in commission income and trading profits.  The decrease in investment banking fees was attributable to institutional investments in a number of funds and the increase in advisory consulting fees was due to a greater number of companies seeking our services.  The decrease in commissions earned in NETW’s daily transaction business was due primarily to a reduction in activity from NETW’s retail clients.  The decrease in trading profits was due to increased market volatility.  Overall, NETW experienced an increase in losses in the year ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year.
 
NETW had a net loss of approximately $608,236 for the year ended June 30, 2010, which represents an increase of $234,004 from our net loss in the same period in the prior year (which was approximately $374,232), due to increased operating expenses. NETW’s management continues to seek income stabilization from consulting and investment banking fees as well as by reducing its exposure to market positions. Management believes that in order to expand its marketing and recruitment of experienced registered representatives it will need to seek additional sources of funding.
 
Pursuant to FASB ASC 810-10 Consolidations – Variable Interest Entities, NETW has determined that the following entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”): Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc., Network 1 Financial Assurance, Inc, National Financial Services Group, Inc. and Shark Rivers Investors, LLC. Post-merger, as a result of agreements executed with the VIE’s, the Company determined that it was no longer the sole source of financial support and the primary beneficiary for the variable interest entities (Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc., Network 1 Financial Assurance, Inc, National Financial Services Group, Inc. and Shark Rivers Investors, LLC).  Accordingly, we deconsolidated the variable interest entities effective June 9, 2009 from our financial position and results of operations.  No gain or loss was recorded upon deconsolidation as the estimated fair values of variable interest entities’ net assets equaled their carrying values.  For more information regarding VIEs, see “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence” on page 17.  The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for 2009 consolidate NETW’s VIEs.

Results of Operations
 
For the Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
 
For the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, NETW generated $2,929,721 and $3,305,967 of consolidated revenue, respectively. The decreased revenue of $376,246 in 2010 represents a 11.4% decrease in revenue over 2009, which is the result of an decrease in investment banking fees earned from private placements and institutional investments in funds.
 
NETW’s consolidated operating expenses were $3,535,550 and $3,764,792 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, a decrease of $229,242, or 6.1% from the prior period, and represent 121% and 114% of revenue, respectively. The increase in NETW’s expenses is primarily due to an increase in commissions related to change in the mix of product fees experienced and professional fees related to being a public company.
 
Loss from operations was $607,301 and $458,825 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and represents 20% and 14% of revenue, respectively.
 
Interest expense was $19,021 and $93,068 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, a decrease of $74,047 or 79%. The decrease was due to a reduction of interest rates and a reduction in debt financing.
 
NETW’s consolidated loss was $608,236 and $374,232 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The income attributable to non-controlling interest in subsidiaries was $0 and $19,305 for 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Our primary source of liquidity is cash generated from operations and from short-term financing arrangements. We had $2,635 in cash as of June 30, 2010 and $91,882 in cash and $550,942 in certificates of deposit as of June 30, 2009. We believe that we will need capital investment in order to meet our liquidity requirements, including debt service, for the next twelve months. Our cash flow from operations is currently insufficient to fund our debt service and other obligations.  As a result, we have decreased our borrowings, reduced or delayed capital expenditures, and are seeking additional capital. There can be no assurance, however, that we will return generating cash flows sufficient to meet our obligations.

We generated a deficit in cash flow from operations of $615,021 for the year ended June 30, 2010.  Cash flows provided by financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2010 were $525,773.

 
6

 

In the upcoming year, we plan to finance operations with working capital and external financing. We believe that we will need additional funds in the near term to finance operations and meet revenue, profitability, growth, diversification and other strategic goals for the foreseeable future. We expect to be able to procure financing upon reasonable terms in order to finance operations. However, if we are unable to do so, or if we do not meet anticipated future revenue goals, management is committed to taking actions necessary to ensure the conservation of adequate cash to continue to finance its operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we are required to disclose pursuant to these regulations.  In the ordinary course of business, we enter into operating lease commitments, purchase commitments and other contractual obligations.  These transactions are recognized in our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
 
Inflation

We believe that inflation has not had a material effect on our operations to date.
 
Significant Accounting Policies
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. While these significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our financial statements, our management believes the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in preparation of the financial statements:
 
Use of Estimates: The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation: FASB ASC 810-10 Consolidations – Variable Interest Entities requires a variable interest entity, as defined, to be consolidated by a company, if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities, entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns, the purpose of the entity is for the benefit of the reporting entity, or if the entity is substantially financed by the reporting entity. For these purposes, variable interests held by related parties should be consolidated with the reporting entity.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2009 (through the date of the reverse merger) include the following variable interest entities in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 810-10 Consolidations – Variable Interest Entities: Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc., Network 1 Financial Assurance, Inc, National Financial Services Group, Inc. and Shark Rivers Investors, LLC.
 
 
·
Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc. provides advisory services and the in-house management of client accounts.

 
·
Network 1 Financial Assurance, Inc. acts as an agent providing life and health insurance products for certain clients on behalf of the Company.

 
·

Revenue Recognition: Customer security transactions and the related commission income and expense are recorded as of the trade date. Investment banking revenues include gains, losses, and fees, net of syndicate expenses, arising from securities offerings in which NETW acts as an underwriter or agent. Investment banking revenues also include fees earned from providing financial advisory services. Investment banking management fees are recorded on the offering date, sales concessions on the settlement date, and underwriting fees at the time the underwriting is completed and the income is reasonably determinable. Customers who are financing their transaction on margin are charged interest. NETW’s margin requirements are in accordance with the terms and conditions mandated by its clearing firm. The interest is billed on the average daily balance of the margin account. Net dealer inventory gains result from securities transactions entered into for the account and risk of NETW. Net dealer inventory gains are recorded on a trade date basis. Investment advisory fees are account management fees for high net worth clients based on the amount of the assets under management. These fees are billed quarterly and recognized at such time that the service is performed and collection is probable.
 
NETW generally acts as an agent in executing customer orders to buy or sell listed and over-the-counter securities in which it does not make a market, and charges commissions based on the services it provides to its customers. In executing customer orders to buy or sell a security in which it makes a market, NETW may sell to, or purchase from, customers at a price that is substantially equal to the current inter-dealer market price plus or minus a mark-up or mark-down. NETW may also act as agent and execute a customer's purchase or sale order with another broker-dealer market-maker at the best inter-dealer market price available and charge a commission. Mark-ups, mark-downs and commissions are generally priced competitively based on the services it provides to its customers. In each instance the commission charges, mark-ups or mark-downs, are in compliance with guidelines established by the FINRA.
 
Marketable securities are carried at fair value, with changes in value included in the statement of income in the period of change. Fair value is generally determined by quoted market prices. Non-marketable securities are valued at fair value as determined by management.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. FASB requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statement of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short maturities.

In April 2009, the FASB issued provisions that require that companies also disclose the fair value of financial instruments during interim reporting periods similar to those that are currently provided annually. These pronouncements are effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.
 
On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, which defines fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements.  The Company’s adoption of ASC 820 did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.  Fair value is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability.  Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value.  Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at fair value using valuation methods that require more judgment.  These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability.  The Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three level hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition of Network 1 Financial Group, Inc and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Network 1 Financial Group, Inc, and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2010 in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1 – Basis of Presentation (Reverse Merger and Corporate Structure)

Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc. (the "Company" or "NETW") was organized as a Texas corporation on March 15, 1983 and is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the State of Texas and various other states. The Company is an introducing broker-dealer that clears all transactions with and for customers on a fully disclosed basis with a clearing broker. The accompanying consolidated statement of operations for 2009 consolidate, the following variable interest entities: Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc, Network 1 Financial Assurance, Inc., National Financial Services Group, Inc. and Shark Rivers Investors, LLC through the companies merger date of June 9, 2009.  As of June 30, 2009, none of the assets or liabilities of the VIE’s are included as part of the Reverse Merger.

On June 9, 2009, the Company completed a merger transaction with, International Smart Sourcing, Inc. (“ISSI”) an inactive publicly registered shell corporation with no significant assets or operations.  ISSI was incorporated in February 1998 in Delaware.  As a result of the Reverse Merger, NETW became a wholly owned subsidiary of ISSI, with the exception of the following consolidated entities which have been deemed to no longer be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) by NETW: Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc., Network 1 Financial Assurance, Inc., National Financial Services Group, Inc. and Shark Rivers Investors, LLC. The Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc. Shareholders acquired control of ISSI.

Upon completion of the reverse merger transaction, ISSI changed its name to Network 1 Financial Group, Inc.

All references to Common Stock, share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio of 17.16 shares of ISSI’s Common Stock for 1 share of all of the classes of the acquirer's Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger as if the exchange had taken place as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the historical financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company prior to the merger with ISSI.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements present on a consolidated basis the accounts of Network 1 Financial Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Upon the closing date of the Reverse Merger, through its wholly owned subsidiary, NETW, the Company commenced the business of providing broker-dealer services. NETW is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC, 40 states and Puerto Rico. NETW is an introducing broker-dealer that clears all transactions with and for customers on a fully disclosed basis with its clearing broker, Southwest Securities, a NYSE member firm. NETW is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) and NASDAQ.
 
The Company’s customer base is made up primarily of individual investors. The Company generates income from transactional business, mutual fund sales, business consulting fees, finder’s fees, annuity sales, register representative investment advisor fees, fees for providing investment banking services, placement agent fees for capital raises, bond transactions, and underwriting fees and concessions.
 
The Company competes with other broker-dealers by offering services to small and microcap public companies which we believe are significantly underserved by the investment community. These companies may have little or no analysts following their growth and may be shut out of the capital markets due to their size and current market cap. Many of our competitors are larger and have substantially more capital resources than us, and could potentially enter our market space.

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates

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

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

FASB ASC 810-10 Consolidations – Variable Interest Entities requires a variable interest entity, as defined, to be consolidated by a company, if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities, entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns, the purpose of the entity is for the benefit of the reporting entity, or if the entity is substantially financed by the reporting entity. For these purposes, variable interests held by related parties should be consolidated with the reporting entity.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2009 (through the date of the reverse merger) include the following variable interest entities in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 810-10 Consolidations – Variable Interest Entities: Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc., Network 1 Financial Assurance, Inc, National Financial Services Group, Inc. and Shark Rivers Investors., LLC.

Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc. provides advisory services and the in-house management of client accounts.  Network 1 Financial Assurance, Inc. acts as an agent providing life and health insurance products for certain clients on behalf of the Company.

National Financial Services Group, Inc. enters into leases and to function as the guarantor for any leases or investments on behalf of the Company.

Shark Rivers Investors, LLC is a real estate investment company that owns and operates two building facilities in New Jersey.

The following is a summary of certain financial data for Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc, Network 1 Financial Assurance, Inc. National Financial Services Group, Inc. and Shark Rivers Investors, LLC as of June 30, 2009:

Revenue Recognition
 
Customer security transactions and the related commission income and expense are recorded as of the trade date. Investment banking revenues include gains, losses, and fees, net of syndicate expenses, arising from securities offerings in which the Company acts as an underwriter or agent. Investment banking revenues also include fees earned from providing financial advisory services. Investment banking management fees are recorded on the offering date, sales concessions on the settlement date, and underwriting fees at the time the underwriting is completed and the income is reasonably determinable. Customers who are financing their transaction on margin are charged interest. The Company’s margin requirements are in accordance with the terms and conditions mandated by its clearing firm. The interest is billed on the average daily balance of the margin account.

Net dealer inventory gains result from securities transactions entered into for the account and risk of the Company. Net dealer inventory gains are recorded on a trade date basis. Investment advisory fees are account management fees for high net worth clients based on the amount of the assets under management. These fees are billed quarterly and recognized at such time that the service is performed and collection is probable.

The Company generally acts as an agent in executing customer orders to buy or sell listed and over-the-counter securities in which it does not make a market, and charges commissions based on the services the Company provides to its customers. In executing customer orders to buy or sell a security in which the Company makes a market, the Company may sell to, or purchase from, customers at a price that is substantially equal to the current inter-dealer market price plus or minus a mark-up or mark-down. The Company may also act as agent and execute a customer's purchase or sale order with another broker-dealer market-maker at the best inter-dealer market price available and charge a commission. Mark-ups, mark-downs and commissions are generally priced competitively based on the services it provides to its customers. In each instance the commission charges, mark-ups or mark-downs, are in compliance with guidelines established by the FINRA.

Marketable securities are carried at fair value, with changes in value included in the statement of income in the period of change. Fair value is generally determined by quoted market prices. Non-marketable securities are valued at fair value as determined by management.
 
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.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from five to twenty years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the terms of the leases. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; costs of major additions and betterments that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposal is recognized.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
FASB requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statement of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short maturities.

In April 2009, the FASB issued provisions that require that companies also disclose the fair value of financial instruments during interim reporting periods similar to those that are currently provided annually. These pronouncements are effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.
 
On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, which defines fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements.  The Company’s adoption of ASC 820 did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.  Fair value is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability.  Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value.  Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at fair value using valuation methods that require more judgment.  These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability.  The Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three level hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company assesses the recoverability of its long lived assets, including property and equipment when there are indications that the assets might be impaired. When evaluating assets for potential impairment, the Company first compares the carrying amount of the asset to the asset’s estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges). If the estimated future cash flows used in this analysis are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss calculation is prepared. The impairment loss calculation compares the carrying amount of the asset to the asset’s estimated future cash flows (discounted and with interest charges). If the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s estimated futures cash flows (discounted and with interest charges), the loss is allocated to the long-lived assets of the group on a pro rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets. Based on its assessments, the Company did not incur any impairment charges for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
The Company is engaged in trading and providing a broad range of securities brokerage and investment services to a diverse group of retail and institutional clientele, as well as corporate finance and investment banking services to corporations and businesses. Counterparties to the Company’s business activities include broker-dealers and clearing organizations, banks and other financial institutions. The Company uses clearing brokers to process transactions and maintain customer accounts on a fee basis for the Company. The Company uses one clearing broker for substantially all of its business. The Company permits the clearing firms to extend credit to its clientele secured by cash and securities in the client’s account. The Company’s exposure to credit risk associated with the non-performance by its customers and counterparties in fulfilling their contractual obligations can be directly impacted by volatile or illiquid trading markets, which may impair the ability of customers and counterparties to satisfy their obligations to the Company. The Company has agreed to indemnify the clearing brokers for losses they incur while extending credit to the Company’s clients. It is the Company’s policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of its customers and each counterparty. Amounts due from customers that are considered uncollectible by the clearing broker are charged back to the Company by the clearing broker when such amounts become determinable.
 
Upon notification of a charge back, such amounts, in total or in part, are then either (i) collected from the customers, (ii) charged to the broker initiating the transaction and included in other receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and/or (iii) charged as an expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, based on the particular facts and circumstances.
 
The maximum potential amount for future payments that the Company could be required to pay under this indemnification cannot be estimated. However, the Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make any material payments under these arrangements and has not recorded any contingent liability in the financial statements for this indemnification.
 
The Company maintains cash with major financial institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures up to $250,000 at each institution. At times such amounts may exceed the FDIC limits. At June 30, 2010 and 2009, the uninsured cash bank balance was approximately $0 and $0, respectively. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risks for cash.

Advances to Registered Representatives
 
The Company extends unsecured credit in the normal course of business to its registered representatives. The determination of the amount of uncollectible accounts is based on the amount of credit extended and the length of time each receivable has been outstanding, as it relates to each individual registered representative. The allowance for uncollectible amounts reflects the amount of loss that can be reasonably estimated by management and is included as part of operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company has reserved approximately $90,000, respectively for any potential non-collection.

Advertising Costs
 
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were deemed to be nominal during each of the reporting periods.
 
Non-controlling Interest

As a result of adopting FASB ASC 810-10 Consolidations – Variable Interest Entities, on July 1, 2009, we present non-controlling interests (previously shown as minority interest) as a component of equity on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and Consolidated Statement of Equity. The adoption of this guidance did not have any other material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
 
Income Taxes
 
In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as measured by current enacted tax rates. The Company periodically assess whether it is more likely than not that they will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets. The Company records a valuation allowance, as necessary, to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount of future tax benefit that The Company estimates is more likely than not to be realized. The Company believes that their estimates are reasonable; however, the final outcome of tax matters may be different from than the estimates reflected in their consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s income tax provisions are based on assumptions and calculations which will be subject to examination by various tax authorities. The Company records tax benefits for positions that they believe are probable of being sustained under such examinations. Regularly, the Company assesses the potential outcome of such examinations to determine the adequacy of their income tax accruals. The Company adjusts their income tax provision during the period in which they determine that the actual results of the examinations may differ from their estimates. Changes in tax laws and rates are reflected in their income tax provision in the period in which they occur.

In June 2006, the FASB issued ASC 740 “Income Taxes” which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, treatment of interest and penalties, and disclosure of such positions. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740 as required. As a result of implementing ASC 740 there has been no adjustment to the Company’s financial statements and the adoption of ASC 740 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements for the year ending June 30, 2010.

Net Loss per Common Share

The Company computes earnings per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”).  Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock.  Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes and the exercise of the Company's stock options and warrants.


Reclassifications

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

NOTE 3 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2010, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, which clarifies certain existing evaluation and disclosure requirements in ASC 855 related to subsequent events. FASB ASU 2010-09 requires SEC filers to evaluate subsequent events through the date in which the financial statements are issued and is effective immediately. The new guidance does not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In January 2010, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”, which clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements in ASC 820 as well as requires disclosures related to significant transfers between each level and additional information about Level 3 activity. FASB ASU 2010-06 begins phasing in the first fiscal period after December 15, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which will change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. Under this guidance, determining whether a company is required to consolidate an entity will be based on, among other things, an entity's purpose and design and a company's ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. This guidance is effective at the start of a company’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009, or January 1, 2010 for companies reporting earnings on a calendar-year basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

NOTE 11 - Income Taxes
 
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income of approximately $ 1.8 million. As a result of the Reverse Merger, the amount of prior years net operating loss carryforwards available to be utilized was significantly reduced due to the change in control provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. These net operating losses which, if not utilized, expire in 2030. At June 30, 2010 the Company has a deferred tax asset, which consists primarily of temporary differences relating to net operating losses. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. ASC 740 requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is “more likely than not” that all, or a portion of, deferred tax assets will not be realized.

A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including a company’s performance, the market environment in which the company operates the length of carryback and carryforward periods, and expectations of future profits, etc.

The Company believes that uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has established a valuation allowance for the full amount as of June 30, 2010.

NOTE 12 - Benefit Contribution Plan
 
The Company sponsors a 401(k) profit sharing plan that covers substantially all of its employees. The plan provides for a discretionary annual contribution, and is allocated in proportion to compensation. In addition, each participant may elect to contribute to the Plan by way of a salary deduction. An employee becomes fully vested in the Company’s contribution after 6 years. A participant is fully vested in their own contributions. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company made no discretionary contributions to the Plan.
 
NOTE 13 - Net Capital Requirements
 
NETW, a subsidiary of the Company, is a registered broker-dealer and is subject to the SEC’s Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1. This requires that NETW maintain minimum net capital of $100,000 and also requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness, as defined, to net capital, shall not exceed 15 to 1.
 
As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, NETW’s net capital exceeded the requirement by approximately $94,237 and $111,834 respectively.
 
Advances, dividend payments and other equity withdrawals are restricted by the regulations of the SEC, and other regulatory agencies are subject to certain notification and other provisions of the net capital rules of the SEC. NETW qualifies under the exemptive provisions of Rule 15c3-3 as NETW does not carry security accounts for customers or perform custodial functions related to customer securities.

NOTE 14 - Deconsolidation of Variable Interest Entity

Upon the date of the reverse merger and as a result of agreements executed, the Company determined that it was no longer the sole source of financial support and the primary beneficiary for the variable interest entities (Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc., Network 1 Financial Assurance, Inc, National Financial Services Group, Inc. and Shark Rivers Investors., LLC).  Accordingly, we deconsolidated the variable interest entities effective June 9, 2009 from our financial position and results of operations.

The carrying value of variable interest entities’ net assets approximated fair value.  At June 9, 2009, the date of deconsolidation, the net assets were as follows:

Assets:
     
Cash and cash equivalents
  $ 2,695

NOTE 15 - Non-Controlling Interest in Subsidiaries
 
Through the merger date of June 9, 2009, non-Controlling interest represents one hundred percent (100%) of the equity from the four (4) variable interest entities that are beneficially-owned by the Company’s stockholders.

Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc. (“NETW”) exchanged substantially all it’s Common Stock in accordance with the reverse merger.  However, NETW’s  Series A preferred stock remained outstanding.    As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, NETW had 1,000,000 shares authorized, of 8% Series A preferred stock $1.00 par value, and 215,000 shares are outstanding.
 
The Series A preferred stock is redeemable at the option of the Company’s Board of Directors at 125% of the issuance price plus any dividends earned but unpaid and after one year outstanding. The Series A preferred stock is non-voting and non-cumulative. Of the 215,000 shares issued, 130,000 shares are owned by National Financial Services Group, Inc., an affiliated Company, whose officers and shareholders’ are officers and shareholders of the Company. Accordingly, the value of these shares has been eliminated as of June 30, 2008.  The preferred stock shareholders are entitled to a bonus dividend at the discretion of the board of directors based on the profitability of the firms market making investment activities minus certain deductions. No bonus dividends were declared for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

 In June 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which requires entities to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock by assessing the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and settlement provisions. Instruments not indexed to their own stock fail to meet the scope exception of ASC 815 “Derivative and Hedging” and should be classified as a liability and marked-to-market. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is to be applied to outstanding instruments upon adoption with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company’s warrants issued in connection with the IPO do not have fixed settlement provisions because their exercise prices, may be lowered if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future.  The Company was required to include the reset provisions in order to protect warrant holders from potential dilution associated with future financings.  In accordance with the guidance, the warrants have been recharacterized as a derivative liability.

NOTE 17 - Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

On December 8, 2004, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation increasing the total number of authorized shares to 101,000,000, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

NETW was required to file with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), an application pursuant to FINRA Rule 1017 (the “1017 Application”) to obtain approval for the sale of up to one hundred percent (100%) of NETW. NETW filed the initial 1017 Application on February 6, 2009, subsequently withdrew the 1017 Application and re-filed the 1017 application on April 2, 2009. FINRA approved the 1017 Application on October 30, 2009.

As a registered broker-dealer, we are subject to the SEC’s ongoing Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1. This requires that we maintain minimum net capital of $100,000 and also requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness, as defined, to net capital, shall not exceed 15 to 1.

Lease Commitments

The Company leases its corporate office facility under an operating lease expiring in June 2012. Additional rent is payable for increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses over base period amounts. Under the terms of the lease, the Company has the option to cancel the lease provided a minimum of four months written notice is given to the landlord.

NOTE 19 – Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes the following three levels of inputs that may be used:  
 
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
 
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.
 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs when there is little or no market data available, thereby requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. 

The table below summarizes the fair values of our financial assets that are measured on a recurring basis at fair value as of June 30, 2010:

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

There were no changes in accounting principles or disagreements with our auditors regarding applications of any accounting principles during the year ended June 30, 2010.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) (the “Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. The Disclosure Controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Accounting Officer (the “PAO,” and together with the PEO, the “Certifying Officers”).

Attached as exhibits to this Annual Report are certifications of the Certifying Officers, which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This “Controls and Procedures” section includes the information concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications and it should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The term “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) refers to the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its Certifying Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

We have designed our disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified the SEC’s rules and forms. We also have designed our disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on management’s evaluation, we have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of the material weakness described below.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal controls over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only Management’s report in this Annual Report.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and related information. Management uses its best judgment to ensure that the financial statements present fairly, in all material aspects, the Company’s financial position and results in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, Certifying Officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

Under the supervision of management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission published in 1992.

As a result of this evaluation, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2010 due to the identification of a material weakness. A material weakness is a control deficiency or combination of control deficiencies such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 
10

 

To address the material weakness described below, we performed additional analysis and performed other procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, fairly present, in all material aspects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with GAAP.

The weakness, identified by management, related to the lack of necessary accounting resources to ensure consistently complete and accurate reporting of financial reporting. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.

We believe that for the reasons described above, after we hire additional qualified in-house personnel, we will be able to improve our disclosure controls and procedures, remedy the material weaknesses identified above and provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded from loss or unauthorized use, that transactions are recorded in accordance with GAAP under management’s directions, and that financial records are reliable to prepare financial statements. However, because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be or have been detected.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Other than the identification of the material weakness described above, there have not been any other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect our internal control over financial reporting.

any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

Meetings of the Board

Our Board of Directors met two (2) times in person during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. All directors serving at the time attended the meeting.

Board Committees

Our Board of Directors has established a compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”), an audit committee (the “Audit Committee”), and a nominating and corporate governance committee (the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”).

The Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee consists of Michael Rakusin. The Compensation Committee determines the salaries and bonuses of our executive officers.

The Audit Committee. Mr. Rakusin serves as a member of the Audit Committee. We have determined that Mr. Rakusin qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under applicable SEC regulations. The Audit Committee has the responsibilities set forth in the Audit Committee Charter, which was revised and adopted by our Board of Directors on March 4, 2004 including appointing auditors, pre-approving all auditing services, reviewing the audited financial statements and other financial disclosures, and overseeing our accounting and audit functions. The Audit Committee reports its findings to the Board of Directors. At the present time, no members of the audit committee are independent. The Charter of the Audit Committee is attached as Appendix D of the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on August 28, 2006.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The member of the Nominating Committee is Michael Rakusin. The Nominating Committee has the responsibilities set forth in the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter, which was adopted by our Board of Directors on March 4, 2004, including making recommendations to the Board of Directors of persons qualified to serve as our directors, chairman and members of committees of the Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee is also responsible for certain corporate governance practices, including the development of ethical conduct standards for our Directors, officers and employees and an annual evaluation to determine whether the Board of Directors and its committees are functioning effectively.

 
13

 

The Nominating Committee expects to identify nominees to serve as our directors primarily by accepting and considering the suggestions and nominee recommendations made by directors, management and stockholders. The Nominating Committee has not established specific minimum qualifications for recommended nominees. However, as a matter of practice, the Nominating Committee does evaluate recommended nominees for directors based on their integrity, judgment, independence, financial and business acumen, relevant experience, and their ability to represent and act on behalf of all stockholders, as well as the needs of the Board of Directors. In general, the Nominating Committee would expect to re-nominate incumbent directors who express an interest in continuing to serve on the Board of Directors.

The Charter of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee can be found as Appendix E of the definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on August 28, 2006.
 
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
 
The Board of Directors has also adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which can be found in Appendix F of the Definitive Proxy Statement filed by the Company with the SEC on August 28, 2006. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics will be provided without charge, upon written request to us at the following address: Network 1 Financial Group, Inc., 2 Bridge Avenue, 4th Floor Red Bank, NJ 07701, Attention: Richard W. Hunt.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

The Company has entered into the following separate agreements with affiliated companies that define the relationship with the Company post-Reverse Merger:

1.
The agreement with Network 1 Financial Assurance, Inc. provides for the reimbursement of certain overhead expenses and the sharing of commissions generated by variable annuity sales referred or placed by NETW. This agreement is not exclusive and NETW is in a position to obtain more favorable terms from third parties should they become available.
2.
The agreement with Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc. provides for the reimbursement of certain overhead expenses and the payment of investment advisory fees to NETW stemming from accounts referred by registered representatives of NETW to Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc. This agreement is not exclusive and NETW is in a position to obtain more favorable terms from third parties should they become available.
3. 
The agreement with Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc. (“Advisors”), Network 1 Financial Assurance, Inc. (“Assurance”) and NETW  is an agreement to abstain from certain voting rights to prohibit the current principals of NETW (as continuing post-Reverse Merger) from voting on certain matters. This will prohibit the current principals of NETW (should they elect to continue as executives post-Reverse Merger) from voting on matters related to fee arrangements for any ongoing activities with Advisors and Assurance.
 
On November 18, 2008, the Company loaned to and received a promissory note in the amount of $100,000 from Network 1 Financial Advisors Inc. The effective interest rate for the note is 6% per annum. The note matured on November 18, 2009 which was extended to November 18, 2010.

There were no other related party transactions for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

Our Board of Directors has determined that Richard Hunt, Michael Rakusin, William R. Hunt, Jr. and Damon Testaverde are not “independent” under this rule by virtue of their positions as corporate and executive officers of our Company.
