SPARE BACKUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

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, 2011 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, 2010 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 22, 2011.  The results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2011.

The accompanying consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred net losses of approximately $2.1 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 and its current liabilities exceed its current assets by $10.9 million. 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 unaudited 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 unaudited 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, 2011, the Company did not exceed the FDIC insurance limit.

The Company's accounts receivable are due from a few customers, which are located in the Unites States and United Kingdom. At June 30, 2011, three of the Company’s customers accounted for substantially all of its accounts receivable. Two of the Company’s customers accounted for 96% of its accounts receivables at December 31, 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.  Management determined that an allowance of $65,000 was necessary at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

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, 2011 and December 31, 2010 amounted to $102,500 and $102,500, 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 13% and 88% of the Company’s revenue during the six-month period ending June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

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

FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” 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.
 
 
F-5

 

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 December 31, 2010 and 2009, with the exception of its convertible promissory notes.  The carrying amount of the convertible promissory notes at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximate their respective fair value based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
 
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, 2011. 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.
 
 
F-6

 

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.

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments and warrants in accordance with professional standards for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.

Professional standards generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.  Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of “Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument”.

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.

ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

Pursuant to 815-40-25-22, if the number of currently authorized but unissued shares, less the maximum number of shares that could be required to be delivered during the contract period under existing commitments, including outstanding convertible debt or instruments, outstanding stock options and warrants, exceeds the maximum number of shares that could be required to be delivered under share settlement of the contract.  At June 30, 2011, the Company believes that substantially all its outstanding warrants and convertible promissory notes trigger this excess.  Accordingly, the share settlement of the exercise of such warrants is not within the control of the Company and should be classified as liability.

Additionally, the Company needs to determine whether the instruments issued in the transactions are considered indexed to the Company’s own stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

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 121,791,677 and 117,826,507 at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Accordingly, these common share equivalents at June 30, 2011 and 2010 are excluded from the loss per share computation for that period due to their antidilutive effect.

NOTE 8 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The maximum number of shares required to be delivered during the period under which substantially all of the Company’s outstanding warrants and convertible notes exceed the amount of authorized shares at June 30, 2011.

The Company accounts for the embedded conversion features included in its convertible promissory notes and outstanding warrants.

The aggregate fair value of derivative liabilities at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 amounted to approximately $1.0 million and $471,000, respectively.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, the warrants and convertible promissory notes issued by the Company were recognized as equity contracts because, at the time, the Company had sufficient amount of authorized of shares of common stock to satisfy its obligations under such contracts.

At each measurement date, the fair value of the embedded conversion features and warrants were based on the binomial and the Black Scholes method, respectively.

The fair value of the derivative instruments were based on the following assumptions:

The fair value of the warrants and embedded conversion features issued in connection with the issuance of convertible promissory notes amounted to approximately $248,000 of which $48,000 has been recognized as debt discount and $200,000 has been recognized as interest expense during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012.
 
The fair value of the warrants and embedded conversion features reclassified from equity contracts to liability contracts during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 amounted to approximately $2.4 million with a corresponding decrease in additional paid-in capital.

The fair value of derivative liabilities decreased by approximately $2.1 million between measurement dates during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.  Such decrease is recorded as other income in the accompanying statement of operations.

Stock Options

In 2002, the Company adopted the 2002 Stock Plan under which stock awards or options to acquire shares of the Company's common stock may be granted to employees and non-employees of the Company. The Company has authorized 12,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for grant under the 2002 Plan.
 
In May 2006, the Board increased the authorized amount to 27,000,000. The 2002 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors and permits the issuance of options for the purchase of up to the number of available shares outstanding. Options granted under the 2002 Plan vest in accordance with the terms established by the Company's stock option committee and generally terminates ten years after the date of issuance.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, the Company modified the exercise price of certain options aggregating 15,825,342 to $0.18 exercise price. As a result of the modification, the Company recognized an expense of $239,821 as an increase in additional paid-in capital and an increase in selling, general & administrative expense.

The fair value of stock options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model. The Company used the following assumptions for determining the fair value of options granted under the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

   
June 30, 2010
   
June 30, 2011

NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

On October 10, 2010, a consultant filed suit against the Company in San Francisco Superior Court.  The Company filed motions reducing the scope of their claims and also filed x-complaint for the consultant’s failure to perform and negligence. The consultant is asserting claims of approximately $200,000 but the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is very low.

In May 2010, a consultant filed suit against SPBU in Broward County Florida Circuit Court seeking recovery of approximately $50,000 in unpaid fees for accounting services.  The matter was pending as of December 31, 2010. Subsequently, the consultant obtained a judgment against the Company for approximately $55,000.  Settlement discussions continue.

The Company has appealed to the California Court of Appeals, in the matter involving a consultant.  The issue on appeal is the California Superior Court’s failure to disregard a NY state court judgment for approximately $100,000, which the Company asserts was improperly entered and therefore should not be recognized as a valid sister state judgment.  The Company’s likelihood of success on this appeal cannot be determined at this time.
 
Management is contesting all cases vigorously. The financial statements reflect accruals for any losses in these matters.

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, mobile and  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 individuals and business can ensure file safety in a wide variety of devices, including PCs , smartphones, tablets and  laptops. . 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 individuals and business that use   diverse technologies and various devices to support their businesses and lifestyles.  We provide and easy to use scalable cloud based solution for securing business files, media, and personal data that is  vital to their  personal and business life 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.
 
We have generated minimal revenue since our inception on September 12, 2002, and have incurred net losses of approximately $110 million from cash and non-cash activity since inception through June 30, 2011. 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.  
 
New business relationships:
 
We are continuing to expand our current distribution base with scheduled launches throughout the remaning part of the year. We will focus our distribution efforts in four vertical channels:
 
 
·
Insurance and warranties (Assurant and Lyfestyle Group);
 
·
Retail-  Car Phone Warehouse and Simplexity;
 
·
Original Equipment Manufacturers;
 
·
Carriers
 
In addition to our current distribution partners in the above referenced channels including Wirefly/Simplexity, Assurant, or federal Home Warranty and Life Styles Group (a UK warranty provider), we are aggressively seeking additional partnerships. We expect our current partners will market scheduled launches of our services during the remainder f of 2011 and into 2012. We are also in discussions with potential partners to license our software for a flat fee, where they would incur all cost associated with storage and customer support

While, we believe the launch of our cloud base offerings will be commercially successful, it is still to early, in the deployment stage to determine the extent of its market penetration.

We continue to invest in our mobile technology and have added additional features, such as:

Last Known LocationPRO:  View the approximate location of your registered phone(s) on an integrated map using the phone’s built-in GPS.

Lock/Unlock PhonePRO:  Remotely lock your phone to prevent unauthorized use and protect your personal information.

Display MessagePRO:  Send a message to your phone that locks your phone and displays a message requesting that the good Samaritan holding your phone contact you to return it.

Set Phone AlarmPRO:  Locks your phone and sends a loud, audible alert directly to your phone to immediately pinpoint its location.
 
 
16

 

Erase PhonePRO:  Remotely lock your phone and erase your contacts, photos, etc. from your phone.   Since Wirefly Mobile Backup also backs up your contacts, photos, and more, you can easily transfer your stored data to your replacement device in minutes.
our security suite of products that offer the ability to lock your  phone, find it if lost and that our code is becoming more seasoned and reliable.

We believe our offerings will adapt to the customers day to day needs as our cloud system provides smart phones with the ability to link into our cloud and connect to multiple devices, which include PC’s and Tablets.
 
We are working on providing our partners with real time data analytics from their which will provide them with behavioral pattern matching and market research.
 
We are in various stages of negotiations with potential partners in the U.S. and South Pacific and we are hopeful that these negotiations will result in additional partnerships in the coming quarters.

We have now begun our initial small scale launch with the Carphone Warehouse in  the UK of April of 2011 and in the Netherlands in May 2011.  We have now converted our product to support the local language in the Netherlands and Spain as we anticipate a progressive ramp in their distribution efforts throughout the remainder of 2011 and into 2012.
 
In September 2010 we reached a distribution agreement with Simplexity, LLC., (“Simplexity”), the parent company of Wirefly.com.  Simplexity, a privately held company, is the Internet's leading authorized seller of cell phones and wireless services. Wirefly is Simplexity's shopping and comparison site for consumers, bringing online shoppers an unprecedented selection of cell phones and service plans from every major U.S. carrier with the convenience of automated application processing and cell phone activation. For the last six years Wirefly has been the internet's #1 authorized dealer for AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and T-Mobile.  Simplexity also operates and maintains similar online websites for a number of major retailers in North America. We believe Simplexity is uniquely positioned in the U.S. market to reach potential mobile customers across a wide variety of carriers through online mobile sales sites they own or manage   within North America.  We anticipate the sales launch of our services through Simplexity’s distribution network, and bundled into “device protection” offerings emphasizing our important security features as well as our ability to seamlessly port data across numerous mobile device platforms, to progressively grow in 2011 and beyond. The service will be offered as an add-on or inclusive in the service packages such as “data protection” currently marketed by Simplexity to its channel partners and customers. We believe these bundled services will be launching in the 3rd quarter of 2011.

Second, we opened a new distribution channel for our mobile platform through mobile insurance and warrantee providers.  In North America we reached an agreement with Assurant (Federal Warranty Service Corporation), which develops, underwrite and market specialty insurance, extended service contracts and other risk management solutions with leading financial institutions, retailers, and other entities has bundled us into their services. The first of their launches is with Sprint, a US based cellular company.  Our backup solution will be bundled into all warranties associated with tablet sales. We will offer a trial amount of storage which we will be paid on and when the consumer exceeds that amount they are offered an additional amount for a monthly or annual fee, which is then shared between the two companies on an undisclosed basis.  We will be expanding our offerings and are currently doing translations for up to 8 additional languages to support additional launches throughout the remainder of this year.

We also have signed up Life Style Group (LSG), provider of leading lifestyle solutions and insurance products. LSG specializes in supporting its client brands, attracting customers, improving the customer journey and reducing customer attrition rates. LSG’s portfolio includes Mobile Phone Insurance, Card Protection and Tech Protect®, all of which can be delivered using their innovative HubbT approach. The HubbT allows clients to seamlessly integrate a complete suite of products and services all accessed via one number.  Their customer base includes Virgin Mobile, Orange, “3”,  Phone, phones 4 U, Barclay’s and Lloyds bank to name a few, in the U.K.  We have firm launch dates with LSG partners throughout the remainder of 2011, and expect to see significant results by the 4th quarter of 2011

We expect to be able to work with all partners that are associated with these companies; both of these companies will offer our mobile platform with its security features to their customers incorporated in their various warrantee programs.  The software will be marketed as a way to not only protect their data from loss but, to also increase the likelihood of retrieving the phone and rendering any data on the phone useless if it is not retrieved.  As mobile devices become more prevalent and more powerful, we believe this channel will be a larger source of revenue to our company beginning late in the first half of 2011.
 
 
17

 

We intend to continue to broaden our distribution efforts with current and new partners in 2011 and 2012 with additional launches into Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and Turkey.
 
We are looking to expand through traditional and online retail, mobile warrantee and insurance, device manufacturers and Telcom service providers to maximize our exposure in the market place.  We believe we have developed cost effective, revenue generating propositions for our distribution partners as we launch offerings covered under our current agreements. We expect to develop new distribution relationships in additional geographic areas in order to reach the widest potential subscriber base.

Software Development
Our decision to expand the scope of our “cloud” based platform into mobile backup and security caused us to have to make substantial changes to our software and back end to provide for the scalability and functionality to provide this service across a wide array of devices and platforms.  This expansion delayed our ability to launch a number of important programs in order to make sure the launches provided the type of reliability and user experience our distribution partners required.  Our development team continued to test and improve the mobile platform throughout the second half of 2010 and into the first quarters of 2011, now enabling us to begin the launch of Assurant, Simplexity, and LSG in the second half of 2011. The above partnerships represent multiple opportunities as each of the companies have different distributors and strategic alliances marketing their products.    We will continue to change and improve the platform as new and more powerful mobile devices enter the marketplace, however we believe the backbone for our service platform has been substantially developed. We have new features to our existing services that will begin rolling out in the 4th quarter of 2011, which we believe will not only be complementary to, but will accelerate revenue from our distribution.

Tarsin Acquisition
 
Throughout the first half of 2011, we conducted our due diligence of Tarsin and attempted to integrate their services into ours; based on our due diligence and initial work with Tarsin management that it is unlikely that Spare Backup will consummate this acquisition.... We feel that the smartphone market is expanding at such a rate that it would be difficult to recoup  our investment in this acquisition, as Tarsin strong hold is in the rapidly declining feature phone market.

NM: Not Meaningful
                                                               
 
Revenues
 
Our net revenues primarily consist of subscription fees charged for online back-up services. Our net revenues decreased during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, when compared to the prior year periods, due to a decrease in the base over which deferred revenue is amortized during the first half of 2011, offset by an increase of revenues from our new distributors who launched our products during the latter part of 2010 and the first half of 2011. The amortization of deferred revenue during the first half of 2010 resulted from our previous partnership with DSG International, which terminated in 2009. We expect that our revenues during 2011 will increase sequentially from the first half of 2011.
 
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-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 include costs associated with continued development of user interfaces and enhancements of existing products.
 
 
18

 
 
The decrease in our research and development expenses during the three-month and six-month period ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the prior year period is primarily attributable to the completion of our Spare back-Up offering as a cloud solution during the first half of 2010, while our research and development expenses consisted mostly of enhancements to our existing solutions.
 
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general, and administrative expenses primarily consist of consultant fees related to the marketing and  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 decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, when compared with the prior period is primarily due to the following:

 
a decrease in non-recurring fair value of options and warrants issued to employees and consultants, including the fair value of modification of terms of such options and warrants, amounting to approximately $680,000 which occurred during the first quarter of 2010.  Otherwise, selling, general, and administrative expenses during the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 is at comparable levels to the prior year period.
 
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

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 their measurement dates.  Decrease in fair value of derivative liabilities recognized during the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 is primarily due to a decrease of our common stock quoted price between measurement dates and during such periods.  The increase in fair value of derivative liabilities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 is primarily due to an increase of the in our common stock quoted price between measurement dates and during such period.  The Company’s common stock quoted price is one of the primary assumptions used in the computation of its derivative liabilities.

Gain from Debt Settlement

During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, we settled numerous court cases and disputes with vendors, which resulted in gains from debt settlements amounting to approximately $296,000. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, we did not settle any payables with any significant gain.

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 decrease in interest expense during the three-month period and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 is primarily due lower amortization of debt discount during the three-month and six periods ended June 30, 2011.  We recognized the amortization of debt discount over the terms of their respective promissory notes, which matured during the latter part of the fiscal 2010 and the first half of 2011.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At June 30, 2011, our cash amounted to approximately $11,000 and our working deficit amounted to approximately $10.5 million.
 
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, we used cash of approximately $1.5 million in our operating activities. Our cash used in operating activities was comprised of our net loss of approximately $2.1 million adjusted for the following:
 
 
· Decrease in fair value of our derivative liabilities of approximately $2.1 million;
· Fair value of stock-based payments issued to employees and consultants of approximately $752,000
· Fair value of modifications to options and warrants of approximately $122,000;
· Fair value of equity transactions related to financing of approximately $398,000.
 
 
19

 
 
Additionally, the following variations in operating assets and liabilities impacted our cash used in operating activity:
 
 
Increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued payroll taxes of approximately $1.4 million, resulting from delays in payments to satisfy our obligations due to our liquidity issues.
 
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, we generated cash from financing activities of approximately $1.5 million, which consisted of the proceeds from notes payable and convertible promissory notes of $418,000, and the net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of approximately $1.2 million offset by principal repayments of certain notes payable aggregating $164,000 and the funding of our overdraft of approximately $127,000.  Additionally, we generated proceeds from exercise of options and warrants aggregating approximately $202,000.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, we used cash of approximately $2.7 million in our operating activities. Our cash used in operating activities was comprised of our net loss of approximately $6.0 million adjusted for the following:
 
 
· Decrease in fair value of our derivative liabilities of approximately $2.2 million;
· Fair value of stock-based payments issued to employees and consultants of approximately $1.4 million
· Fair value of modifications to options and warrants of approximately $722,000;
· Fair value of equity transactions related to financing of approximately $329,000;
· Amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs of approximately $330,000.
     
Additionally, the following variations in operating assets and liabilities impacted our cash used in operating activity:
     
   
· Increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued payroll taxes of approximately $872,000, resulting from delays in payments to satisfy our obligations due to our liquidity issues;
· Decrease in deferred revenues of approximately of approximately $613,000 for subscription fees received during fiscal 2009 which were recognized during the first half of 2010.
 
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, we generated cash from financing activities of approximately $2.8 million, which consisted of the proceeds from notes payable of $1,100,000, and the net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of approximately $1.5 million offset by principal repayments of certain notes payable aggregating $405,000 and the funding of our overdraft of approximately $24,000.  Additionally, we generated proceeds from exercise of options and warrants aggregating approximately $552,000.

The decrease in our net cash flows used in operating activities from $2.8 million to $2.0 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the prior year is primarily due to general increased time to process payment for accounts payable and accrued payroll taxes and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in the level of our research and development expenses.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Capital Raising Transactions

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, we issued in aggregate 12,149,999 shares of our common stock pursuant to a private placement which generated gross proceeds of approximately $445,000. We paid finder's fee of $13,000 in connection with such financing.

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, we agreed to issue a note payable of $1.5 million and warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares

During June 2011, we agreed to issue a $1.5 million note payable, 5,000,000 warrants and 50,000 shares of The Company’s Series B Preferred Stock.  At June 30, 2011, the Company’s available credit under the note amounted to $1.5 million and the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock have not been designated or issued.  The note bears interest at 10% per annum, payable in August 2011 and every month thereafter.  The note matures in June 2014.  The note is convertible, at the holder’s option, at a rate equal to 75% of the Company’s 5-day moving average quoted price of the stock for that month.  The exercise price of the warrants is $0.09 per share.  The warrants expire in June 2016.  We may borrow up to $325,000 per month under this instrument.

Going Concern
 
Since our inception in 2002 through June 30, 2011, we have incurred net losses of approximately $113 million from cash and non-cash activities. 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, 2010 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly 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.
 
 
21

 
 
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 June 30, 2011 amounted to $102,500 when persuasive of an arrangement exists.

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.
