1. 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2012.  For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10K for the year ended June 30, 2011.

2. 
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies of Warp 9, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Accounts Receivable
The Company extends credit to its customers, who are located primarily in California. Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition. Management reviews accounts receivable on a regular  basis,  based on contracted  terms and how recently  payments have been  received  to  determine  if any  such  amounts  will  potentially  be uncollected.  The Company includes any balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off. The balance of the allowance account at March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011 are $22,664 and $11,408, respectively.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes income when the service is provided or when product is delivered. We present revenue, net of customer incentives.  Most of the income is generated from monthly fees from clients who subscribe to the Company's fully hosted web based e-commerce products on terms averaging twelve months. Unless terminated accordingly with prior written notice, the agreements automatically renew for another term.

We provide online marketing services that we purchase from third parties.  The gross revenue presented in our statement of operations is in accordance with ASC 605-45.

We also offer professional services such as development services.  The fees for development services with multiple deliverables constitute a separate unit of accounting in accordance with ASC 605-25, which are recognized as the work is performed.

Upfront fees for development services or other customer services are deferred until certain implementation or contractual milestones have been achieved.   The deferred revenue as of March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011 was $24,753 and $32,010, respectively.

For the quarter ended, March 31, 2012, monthly fee from web products and associated service fees account for 74% of the Company’s total revenues, professional services account for 9% and the remaining 17% of total revenues are from resale of third party products and services.

For the quarter ended, March 31, 2011, monthly fee from web products and associated service fees account for 78% of the Company’s total revenues, professional services account for 6% and the remaining 16% of total revenues are from resale of third party products and services

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company addressed the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The transactions are accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expenses in our statement of income. There was no material impact on the Company’s financial statement of operations.

While we expect that our capital needs in the foreseeable future will be met by cash-on-hand and existing cash flow, there is no assurance that the Company will generate any or sufficient positive cash flows, or have sufficient capital, to finance its growth and business operations, or that such capital will be available on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all. The Company has recently been incurring operating losses and experiencing negative cash flow.  In the current financial environment, it could become difficult for the Company to obtain business leases and other equipment financing. There is no assurance that we would be able to obtain additional working capital through the private placement of common stock or from any other source.

Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.  The Company does not generate significant revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, an additional cash infusion. Management believes the existing shareholders and potential prospective new investors will provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of its core of business.
 
4.    CAPITAL STOCK

At March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s authorized stock consists of 495,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Company is also authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001.  The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the preferred stock will be determined by the Board of Directors prior to issuance of such shares.
 
5.      STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

On July 10, 2003, the Company adopted the Warp 9, Inc. Stock Option Plan for Directors, Executive Officers, and Employees of and Key Consultants to the Company.  This Plan, may issue 25,000,000 shares of common stock.   Options granted under the Plan could be either Incentive Options or Nonqualified Options, and are administered by the Company’s Board of Directors.  Each option may be exercisable in full or in installment and at such time as designated by the Board.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or of any Option Agreement, each option are to expire on the date specified in the Option Agreement, which date are to be no later than the tenth anniversary of the date on which the option was granted (fifth anniversary in the case of an Incentive Option granted to a greater-than-10% stockholder).  The purchase price per share of the Common Stock under each Incentive Option is to be no less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the option was granted (110% of the Fair Market Value in the case of a greater-than-10% stockholder). The purchase price per share of the Common Stock under each Nonqualified Option were to be specified by the Board at the time the Option was granted, and could be less than, equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date such Nonqualified Option was granted, but were to be no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.  The Plan provides specific language as to the termination of options granted.

The Black Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which do not have vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Statements

This Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements,” as that term is used in federal securities laws, about Warp 9, Inc.’s financial condition, results of operations and business.  These statements include, among others:

statements concerning the potential benefits that Warp 9, Inc. (“W9” or the “Company”) may experience from its business activities and certain transactions it contemplates or has completed; and

statements of W9’s expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, anticipated developments and other matters that are not historical facts.  These statements may be made expressly in this Form 10-Q.  You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “opines,” or similar expressions used in this Form 10-Q.  These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause W9’s actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by W9 in those statements.  The most important facts that could prevent W9 from achieving its stated goals include, but are not limited to, the following:

 
(a)
volatility or decline of the Company's stock price;

 
(b)
potential fluctuation in quarterly results;

 
(c)
failure of the Company to earn revenues or profits;

 
(d)
inadequate capital to continue or expand its business, and inability to raise additional capital or financing to implement its business plans;

 
(e)
failure to further commercialize its technology or to make sales;

 
(f)
loss of customers and reduction in demand for the Company's products and services;

 
(g)
rapid and significant changes in markets;

 
(h)
litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties, reducing revenue and increasing costs;

 
(i)
insufficient revenues to cover operating costs;

 
(j)
failure of the re-licensing or other commercialization of the Roaming Messenger technology to produce revenues or profits;

 
(k)
aspects of the Company’s business are not proprietary and in general the Company is subject to inherent competition;
 
 
 (l)
further dilution of existing shareholders’ ownership in Company;

 
(m)
uncollectible accounts and the need to incur expenses to collect amounts owed to the Company;

 
(n)
the Company does not have an Audit Committee nor sufficient independent directors.

There is no assurance that the Company will be profitable, the Company may not be able to successfully develop, manage or market its products and services, the Company may not be able to attract or retain qualified executives and technology personnel, the Company may not be able to obtain customers for its products or services or successfully compete,, the Company’s products and services may become obsolete, government regulation may hinder the Company’s business, additional dilution in outstanding stock ownership may be incurred due to the issuance of more shares, warrants and stock options, the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options, or other risks inherent in the Company’s businesses.

Because the statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.  W9 cautions you not to place undue reliance on the statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q.  The cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that W9 or persons acting on its behalf may issue.  The Company does not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts’ expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Current Overview

W9 is a provider of e-commerce software platforms and services for the catalog and retail industry.  Our suite of software platforms are designed to help multi-channel retailers maximize the Internet channel by applying our technologies for online catalogs, e-mail marketing campaigns, and interactive visual merchandising.  Offered as an outsourced and fully managed Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") model, our products allow customers to focus on their core business, rather than technical implementations and software and hardware architecture, design, and maintenance.  We also offer professional services to our clients which include online catalog design, merchandizing and optimization, order management, e-mail marketing campaign development, integration to third party payment processing and  fulfillment systems, analytics, custom reporting and strategic consultation.

Our products and services allow our clients to lower costs and focus on promoting and marketing their brand, product line and website while leveraging the investments we have made in technology and infrastructure to operate a dynamic online Internet presence.

We charge our customers a monthly fee for using our e-commerce software based on a SaaS model.  These fees include fixed monthly charges, and variable fees based on the sales volume of our clients’ e-commerce websites.  Unlike traditional software companies that sell software on a perpetual license where quarterly and annual revenues are quite difficult to predict, our SaaS model spreads the collection of contract revenue over several quarters or years and makes our revenues more predictable for a longer period of time.
 
While the Warp 9 Internet Commerce System ("ICS") is our flagship and highest revenue product, we have developed and deployed new products based on a proprietary virtual publishing technology.  These new products allow for the creation of interactive web versions of paper catalogs and magazines where users can flip through pages with a mouse and click on products or advertisements.  These magazines or catalogs have built-in integration for e-commerce transactions through our ICS product and other transaction based activities.  Accordingly, when shoppers click on a product, they are taken to the e-commerce product page where they can add that product to their shopping cart for purchasing.  Clients utilizing this technology have discovered when exposing consumers to the virtual catalogs, a higher average order size and significant increase in rate of conversion result.  We have sold this solution on a limited basis while we continue to refine the product and technology.  We believe there could be many markets for our virtual catalog and magazine technology and we expect to test market these new products in the future.

Research and development efforts have been focused both on updating our flagship ICS e-commerce platform as well as developing new products and on updating our current products with new features. In the planning phase of our development efforts, we look to direct client feedback and feature requests. We study the e-commerce landscape to determine features that will provide our clients with a competitive advantage in producing greater and more effective selling. We also examine features that will create a competitive advantage during our sales process to clients. Emerging and declining trends also play a role in how clients perceive what features should be provided by which vendors.  We are sometimes able to capitalize on these opportunities by bundling features for greater value and/or increased fees and revenue. Management believes that in order to compete successfully, it must dedicate a greater allocation of resources to research and development. Updating our platform, creating new products and revamping the current products must be part of the ongoing operational practice in order to compete successfully. There can be no assurance that management will be able to successfully devote the resources needed for this research and development and that it will be able to compete successfully.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, including the discussion on liquidity and capital resources, are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management re-evaluates its estimates and judgments, particularly those related to the determination of the estimated recoverable amounts of trade accounts receivable, impairment of long-lived assets, revenue recognition and deferred tax assets. We believe the following critical accounting policies require more significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may arise if any of our customers are unable to make required payments. Management specifically analyzes the age of customer balances, historical bad debt experience, customer credit-worthiness, and changes in customer payment terms when making estimates of the uncollectability of our trade accounts receivable balances. If we determine that the financial conditions of any of our customers deteriorated, whether due to customer specific or general economic issues, increases in the allowance may be made. Accounts receivable are written off when all collection attempts have failed.
 
            We follow the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" for revenue recognition and SAB 104. Under Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, four conditions must be met before revenue can be recognized: (i) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection is reasonably assured.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, to the extent that we believe that the deferred tax asset is not likely to be recovered, a valuation allowance is provided. In making this determination, we consider estimated future taxable income and taxable timing differences expected in the future. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Results of Operations for the Three Months and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2012, compared to the Three Months and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2011

REVENUE

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased by $7,875 to $220,406 compared to $228,281 for the same prior period.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, total revenue decreased by $99,105 to $628,899 compared to $728,004 in the same prior period.  The overall decrease in revenue was the result of a decrease in recurring monthly fees caused by client terminations, partially offset by an increase in mobile website development. The client terminations were due to both i) the financial environment affecting the clients’ fiscal health and in turn, W9’s revenue stream from those clients, and ii) increased competition in the e-commerce software space and the perceived competitive nature of the ICS product-line.

COST OF REVENUE

The cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased by $16,232 to $30,408 compared to $14,176 for the same prior period.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2012 the cost of revenue increased $25,902 to $80,773 compared to $54,871 for the same prior period.  The overall increase was primarily due to the increase in subcontractor services and recognition of the licensing fees to PageTransformer.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased $56,555 to $276,983 compared to $220,428 for the same prior period.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, SG&A expenses increased $86,668 to $882,565 compared to $795,897 in the same prior period.  The overall increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to an increase in salary expense, partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased $4,634 to $24,544 as compared to $29,178 for the same prior period.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the research and development expenses increased $17,111 to $92,554 as compared to $75,443 for the same prior period.  The overall increase was due to increased staffing expense associated with research and development to update our e-commerce platform and new products and features.

 NET INCOME/(LOSS)

The consolidated net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was ($111,357) compared to the consolidated net loss of ($18,767) for the same prior period.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the consolidated net loss was ($434,225) compared to the consolidated net loss of ($164,980) for the same prior period.  The consolidated net loss is mainly attributable to a reduction in revenue, and an increase in SG&A expense, as outlined above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had net working capital deficit (i.e. the difference between current assets and current liabilities) of ($13,042) at March 31, 2012 as compared to a net working capital of $403,167 at June 30, 2011.  The decrease in net working capital at March 31, 2012 was caused by a reduction in revenue and an increase in operating expenses.

Cash flow used in operating activities was ($511,876) for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to cash flow used in operating activities of ($181,325) for the same prior period. The increase in cash flow used in operating activities of ($330,551) was primarily due to increases in net loss and the accounts receivable balance.

Cash flow used in investing activities was ($7,893) for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to cash flow used in investment activities of ($5,478) for the same prior period.  The increase in cash flow used in investing activities of ($2,415) was primarily due to the increase of equipment purchases during the current period.

Cash flow used in financing activities was $0 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to ($21) for the same prior period.  The increase in cash flow of $21 used in financing activities was primarily due to no payments on debt being made during the current period.

While we expect that our capital needs in the foreseeable future will be met by cash-on-hand and existing cash flow, there is no assurance that the Company will generate any or sufficient positive cash flows, or have sufficient capital, to finance its growth and business operations, or that such capital will be available on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all. The Company has recently been incurring operating losses and experiencing negative cash flow.  In the current financial environment, it could become difficult for the Company to obtain business leases and other equipment financing. There is no assurance that we would be able to obtain additional working capital through the private placement of common stock or from any other source.

Item 4T.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by W9 in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company.

Management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2012 (under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer) pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  As part of such evaluation, management considered the matters discussed below relating to internal control over financial reporting.  Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2012.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Furthermore, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  After evaluating the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the internal controls over financial reporting are effective as of March 31, 2012.

No Attestation Report by Independent Registered Accountant

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2012 has not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm by virtue of our exemption from such requirement as a smaller reporting company.
 
 Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s second fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
