NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

DirectView Holdings, Inc., (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 2, 2006. On October 9, 2006, the Company entered into a Subsidiary Stock Purchase Agreement with GS Carbon Trading Inc. (“GS”) formerly DirectView, Inc., a publicly held company.  GS sold its subsidiaries to the Company in return for the assumption by the Company of a portion of GS’ liabilities and all trade credit and other liabilities incidental to these subsidiaries' operations.

For financial reporting purposes, the assets, liabilities, historical earnings (deficits), and additional paid in capital of the acquired subsidiaries are reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

The Company has the following three wholly-owned subsidiaries: DirectView Video Technologies Inc., Ralston Communication Services Inc., and Meeting Technologies Inc. The Company has a majority-owned subsidiary which is DirectView Security Systems Inc.

The Company is a full-service provider of teleconferencing services to businesses and organizations. The Company's conferencing services enable its clients to cost-effectively conduct remote meetings by linking participants in geographically dispersed locations. The Company's primary focus is to provide high value-added conferencing services to organizations such as professional service firms, investment banks, high tech companies, law firms, investor relations firms, and other domestic and multinational companies. The Company is also a provider of technologies in surveillance systems, digital video recording and services.  The systems provide onsite and remote video and audio surveillance. 
 
Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP").  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s,  three wholly-owned subsidiaries, and a subsidiary with a majority voting interest of  approximately 58% (42% is owned by non-controlling interests whereby 23% is owned by the Company’s CEO who is a majority shareholder of the Parent Company) as of March 31, 2012, and 100% prior to January 2011.
 
In the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Company, intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated and net earnings are reduced by the portion of the net earnings of subsidiaries applicable to non-controlling interests. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2012, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ending March 31, 2012 have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2012
 
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Use of Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statements of financial condition, and revenues and expenses for the years then ended.  Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, accrued expenses pertaining to abandoned lease office space, the useful life of property and equipment, the assumptions used to calculate beneficial conversion on notes payable and common stock issued for services.

Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements

In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 810-10-65, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,” (“SFAS No. 160”).  This statement clarifies that a non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires consolidated net income to include the amounts attributable to both the parent and non-controlling interest, with disclosure on the face of the consolidated income statement of the amounts attributed to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with presentation and disclosure requirements applied retrospectively to comparative financial statements. In accordance with ASC 810-10-45-21, that losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest in subsidiary may exceed their interests in the subsidiary’s equity. The excess and any further losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest shall be attributed to those interests even if that attribution results in a deficit non-controlling interest balance. As of March 31, 2012, the Company recorded a non-controlling interest of $25,932 in connection with our majority-owned subsidiary, DirectView Security Systems Inc. as reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. The Company’s account at this institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000. In addition to the basic insurance deposit coverage, the FDIC is providing temporary unlimited coverage for non-interest bearing transaction accounts through December 31, 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and for the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company has not reached bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.
 
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
 
 
Level 1:
Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
Level 2:
Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
 
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The following table presents a reconciliation of the derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable input (Level 3) from January 1, 2012 to March 31, 2012:

Total derivative liability at March 31, 2012 amounted to $61,732.
 
Cash and cash equivalents include money market securities that are considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. These securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy.
 
In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 Fair Value Option was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments.
 
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable and due to related parties approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the notes and convertible promissory notes approximates the estimated fair value for these financial instruments as management believes that such notes constitute substantially all of the Company's debt and the interest payable on the notes approximates the Company's incremental borrowing rate.

Accounts Receivable

The Company has a policy of reserving for questionable 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.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2012 management adjusted the allowance account related to a previously written off debt which reflects a bad debt expense of negative $29,673 for the period ended March 31, 2012.  At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, management determined that an allowance is necessary which amounted to $117,588 and $147,263, respectively.

Advertising

Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were deemed to be not material.

Shipping Costs

Shipping costs are included in other selling, general and administrative expenses and were deemed to be not material for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting of finished goods related to our products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method.

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized.  When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition.  The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-Lived Assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in ASC 360-10-35-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not consider it necessary to record any impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
 
Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as prescribed by ASC Topic 740: Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). 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 and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, when in the Company's opinion it is likely that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Pursuant to ASC Topic 740-10: Income Taxes related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. The accounting standard also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition.  The adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  

Stock Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the consolidated condensed financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
 
Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company initially records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date.

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  When a customer order contains multiple items such as hardware, software, and services which are delivered at varying times, the Company determines whether the delivered items can be considered separate units of accounting.  Delivered items should be considered separate units of accounting if delivered items have value to the customer on a standalone basis, there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items, and if delivery of undelivered items is probable and substantially in the Company’s control.
 
The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the Company:
 
Revenue is recognized upon completion of conferencing services. The Company generally does not charge up-front fees and bills its customers based on usage.

Revenue for video equipment sales and security surveillance equipment sales is recognized upon delivery and installation.

Revenue from periodic maintenance agreements is generally recognized ratably over the respective maintenance periods provided no significant obligations remain and collectability of the related receivable is probable.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Customers

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. Almost all of the Company's sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivables is limited due to generally short payment terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, one customer accounted for 78% of the Company’s revenues. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, four customers accounted for 86% of revenues.

As of March 31, 2012, two customers accounted for 71% of total accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2011, one customer accounted for 27% of total accounts receivable.

Related Parties

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions shall be recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged. Property purchased from a related party is recorded at the cost to the related party and any payment to or on behalf of the related party in excess of the cost is reflected as a distribution to related party.

Net Loss per Common Share

Net loss per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260: Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net earnings per share does not include dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding as they would be anti-dilutive. At March 31, 2012, the Company has 10,344,828 shares equivalent issuable pursuant to embedded conversion features. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had 931,034 shares equivalently issuable pursuant to embedded conversion features.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). This Accounting Standards Update amends FASB ASC Topic 350. This amendment specifies the change in method for determining the potential impairment of goodwill. It includes examples of circumstances and events that the entity should consider in evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption does not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-12) , which indefinitely defers certain provisions of ASU 2011-05 issued earlier in June 2011 and will be further deliberated by the FASB at a future date. The new ASU affects entities that report items of comprehensive income in any period presented. During the deferral period, entities will still need to comply with the existing requirements in U.S. GAAP for the presentation of reclassification adjustments. Specifically, ASC 220 gives entities the option of (1) presenting reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the face of the statement in which comprehensive income is presented or (2) disclosing reclassification adjustments in the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2011-12 and ASU 2011-05 share the same effective date. This guidance is effective for our interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management believes the adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as it only requires a change in the format of presentation.
 
Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  At March 31, 2012, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $14.6 million, and a working capital deficiency of $2,219,333. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred net losses of $136,710 and had negative cash flows from operations in the amount of $32,938. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon increasing sales and obtaining additional capital and financing.    Management intends to attempt to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.  While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to increase sales volume and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company's limited financial resources have prevented the Company from aggressively advertising its products and services to achieve consumer recognition.

The notes payable bear 8% interest per annum and shall be payable on April 1, 2009. The principal and accrued interest is convertible at the option of the note holder into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share ($0.05 per share post-dividend). During fiscal 2008, the Company issued 139,562 shares (1,396,562 shares post-dividend) in connection with the conversion of principal amount of $68,500 and accrued interest of $1,280 of these notes payable. The fair value of such shares issued amounted to approximately $69,780 or $0.50 per share ($0.05 per share post-dividend). The balance of the senior secured promissory note amounted to $17,000 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. In October 2009, the Company and the note holder agreed to extend the maturity date from April 2009 to April 2010.  The maturity date of this note was subsequently extended to April 2011. The Company is currently in negotiations with the note holder to extend the maturity date.

During fiscal 2009, the Company classified $45,000 3% unsecured notes payable from long-term to short-term. The maturity of these notes payable ranges from January 2010 to April 2010. The Company is currently in negotiations with the note holder to extend the maturity date and has accrued 12% interest per annum based on the default provision until such time this note is extended or settled.
 
In November 2009, the Company issued unsecured notes payable of $20,000. The note is payable either in cash or security equivalent at the option of the Company. In the event the Company repays this note in shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate of $0.05 per share ($0.005 per share post-dividend). The note payable bears 6% interest per annum and matures in May 2010. The Company may prepay these notes in cash or equivalent securities at any time without penalty. In January 2010, this note was satisfied by issuing a note payable to another unrelated party with the same terms and conditions except for its maturity date changes to January 2011. The Company is currently in negotiations with the note holder to extend the maturity date and has accrued 12% interest per annum based on the default provision until such time this note is extended or settled.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company entered into a demand note with Regal Capital (formerly a related party) for $36,337.  Such amount was reclassified out of historical related party borrowings.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, notes payable - amounted to $118,337 and $82,000, respectively.

Accrued interest on the notes payable amounted to approximately $45,765 and $22,000 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively and is included in accrued expenses.
 
NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

In September 2010, the Company issued a convertible promissory note amounting to $50,000. The note bears interest at 8% per annum and matures 9 months after issuance. The Company paid debt issuance cost of $3,000 in connection with this note payable and is being amortized over the term of the note. The note is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of common stock beginning on the date which is 180 days after the date of this note, at a conversion price equal to 58% of the average of three lowest trading prices during the 10 trading day period of the Company’s common stock prior to the date of conversion.
 
In December 2010, the Company issued a convertible promissory note amounting to $27,500 with the same terms and conditions of the convertible promissory note issued in September 2010. The Company paid debt issuance cost of $2,500 in connection with this note payable and is being amortized over the term of the note.

In May 2011, the Company issued a convertible promissory note amounting to $32,500 with the same terms and conditions of the convertible promissory note issued in September 2010 and December 2010. The Company paid debt issuance cost of $2,500 in connection with this note payable and is being amortized over the term of the note.

In accordance with ASC 470-20-25, the convertible note was considered to have an embedded beneficial conversion feature (BCF) because the effective conversion price was less than the fair value of the Company’s common stock. Therefore the portion of proceeds allocated to the convertible debentures of $79,655 was determined to be the value of the beneficial conversion feature and was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized over the term of the note. The Company evaluated whether or not the convertible note contains embedded conversion options, which meet the definition of derivatives under ASC 815-15 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and related interpretations.  The Company concluded that these convertible notes are considered a derivative as of March 31, 2012.

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

In June 2008, a FASB approved guidance related to the determination of whether a freestanding equity-linked instrument should be classified as equity or debt under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock. The adoption of this requirement will affect accounting for convertible instruments and warrants with provisions that protect holders from declines in the stock price ("down-round" provisions). Warrants with such provisions will no longer be recorded in equity and would have to be reclassified to a liability. The Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application by an entity that has previously adopted an alternative accounting policy is not permitted.

Instruments with down-round protection are not considered indexed to a company's own stock under ASC Topic 815, because neither the occurrence of a sale of common stock by the company at market nor the issuance of another equity-linked instrument with a lower strike price is an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares.

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY (continued)

ASC Topic 815 guidance is to be applied to outstanding instruments as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the Issue is applied. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle shall be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity) for that fiscal year, presented separately. If an instrument is classified as debt, it is valued at fair value, and this value is re-measured on an ongoing basis, with changes recorded on the statement of operations in each reporting period. The Company did not have outstanding instruments with down-round provisions as of the beginning of fiscal 2009 thus no adjustment will be made to the opening balance of retained earnings.
 
In connection with the issuance of the 8% convertible promissory note, the Company has determined that the terms of the convertible notes issued in September 2010, December 2010 and May 2011 includes a provision whereby the conversion price equals 58% of the average of three lowest trading prices during the 10 trading day period of the Company’s common stock prior to the date of conversion. Accordingly, the convertible instrument is accounted for as a derivative liability as of March 31, 2012 (after 180 days from the date of issuance) and adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. The Company has recognized a derivative liability of $61,732 as of March 31, 2012. The loss resulting from the increase in fair value of this convertible instrument was $156 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company has reclassified $10,288 of derivative liability to additional paid in capital related to the partial conversion of the convertible promissory note issued in September 2010.
 
The Company used the following assumptions for determining the fair value of the convertible instruments granted under the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

   
March 31, 2012
 
       
Expected volatility
    195 % - 245 %
Expected term

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Our operations are conducted within two divisions:

 
Our video conferencing divisions which is a full-service provider of teleconferencing products and services to businesses and organizations, and
 
Our security division which provides surveillance systems, digital video recording and services to businesses and organizations .
Our video conferencing products and services enable our clients to cost-effectively conduct remote meetings by linking participants in geographically dispersed locations. Our primary focus is to provide high value-added conferencing products and services to organizations such as commercial, government, medical and educational sectors. We generate revenue through the sale of conferencing services based upon usage, the sale and installation of video equipment and the sale of maintenance agreements.

               We are also a provider of the latest technologies in surveillance systems, digital video recording and services.  The systems provide onsite and remote video and audio surveillance. We generate revenue through the sale and installation of surveillance systems and the sale of maintenance agreements.

Our company was formed in October 2006.  Immediately thereafter we acquired Ralston Communication Services and Meeting Technologies from DirectView, Inc., a Nevada corporation of which Mr. and Mrs. Ralston were officers and directors immediately prior to such acquisition, in exchange for the assumption by us of these subsidiaries working capital deficiencies and any and all trade credit and other liabilities.  Both of these entities had historically provided the video conferencing services we continue to provide.  Thereafter, in February 2007 we formed DirectView Security Systems, Inc.  and in July 2007 we formed DirectView Video. Directview Security began offering services and products immediately from inception.

Our net sales are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses.  We have relied upon funds from the issuance of notes, the sale of common stock and advances from our executive officers to provide working capital to our company.  These funds, however, are not sufficient to pay all of our expenses nor to provide the additional capital we believe is necessary to permit us to market our company in an effort to increase our sales.  We are always looking for opportunities with new dealers, and plan to evaluate the market for our products throughout 2011 to determine whether we should hire additional employees in our sales force. We seek to establish brand identity for our company, communicate our brand and its values to investors and customers, build a relationship and reinforce existing relationships and further trigger recognition through telemarketing and hiring additional sales people to our sales staff. We believe that these strategies will provide an avenue for us to increase consumer usage of our technology, increase demand for our products and generate revenues. No assurance can be provided that we will successfully implement our strategy. We are subject to significant business risks and may need to raise additional capital in order to realize and effectuate the above strategy.
 
Our experience has demonstrated that our ability to raise capital is generally limited.  Following the effectiveness of our registration statement in fiscal 2009, we became subject to the reporting obligations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and require us to file quarterly and annual reports, among other filings, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and we hope to obtain a quotation of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board.  We believe that both of these actions will increase our opportunities to raise the necessary capital to continue our business in that there will be public information available on our company and our financial condition and a trading market for our common stock.  There are no assurances, however, that our assumption is correct.  We may not be successful in obtaining the quotation of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board and even if we are successful there are no assurances a meaningful market for our common stock will develop.  The uncertainty in the capital markets, the small size of our company and the low barriers to entry in our market make our company less attractive to prospective investors and we may never be successful in raising the needed capital.  In addition, our operating expense increased because we incurred higher professional fees to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  If we are unable to raise the necessary capital, we will not be able to expand our business and our ability to continue as a going concern will be in jeopardy.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's applications of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for our company include revenue recognition and accounting for stock based compensation.
 
Going Concern Considerations

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $14.5 million and $14.4 million respectively, and a working capital deficiency of $2,219,333 and $2,094,123 respectively. Additionally, for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred net losses of $136,710 and $522,088 and had negative cash flows from operations in the amount of $32,938 and $117,856 respectively. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon increasing sales and obtaining additional capital and financing.  Management intends to attempt to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.  While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to increase sales volume and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company's limited financial resources have prevented the Company from aggressively advertising its products and services to achieve consumer recognition.
 
Revenue Recognition

We follow the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. When a customer order contains multiple items such as hardware, software, and services which are delivered at varying times, we determine whether the delivered items can be considered separate units of accounting. Delivered items should be considered separate units of accounting if delivered items have value to the customer on a standalone basis, there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items, and if delivery of undelivered items is probable and substantially in our control. The following policies reflect specific criteria for our various revenues streams:

 
Revenue is recognized upon completion of conferencing services. We generally do not charge up-front fees and bill our customers based on usage.
 
 
Revenue for video equipment sales and security surveillance equipment sales is recognized upon delivery and installation.
 
 
Revenue from periodic maintenance agreements is generally recognized ratably over the respective maintenance periods provided no significant obligations remain and collectability of the related receivable is probable.
 
Stock based Compensation
 
Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the consolidated condensed financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
 
Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. We initially record compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of these financial statements requires us 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 net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
  
Account Receivable

We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable.  We periodically review our 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 allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
 
Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized.  When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition.  The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as prescribed by ASC Topic 740: Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). It requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
 
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and we intend to settle our current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Pursuant to accounting standards related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on our financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements 

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). This Accounting Standards Update amends FASB ASC Topic 350. This amendment specifies the change in method for determining the potential impairment of goodwill. It includes examples of circumstances and events that the entity should consider in evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption does not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-12) , which indefinitely defers certain provisions of ASU 2011-05 issued earlier in June 2011 and will be further deliberated by the FASB at a future date. The new ASU affects entities that report items of comprehensive income in any period presented. During the deferral period, entities will still need to comply with the existing requirements in U.S. GAAP for the presentation of reclassification adjustments. Specifically, ASC 220 gives entities the option of (1) presenting reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the face of the statement in which comprehensive income is presented or (2) disclosing reclassification adjustments in the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2011-12 and ASU 2011-05 share the same effective date. This guidance is effective for our interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management believes the adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as it only requires a change in the format of presentation.
 
Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
 
 Results of Operations

 Three months ended March 31, 2012 Compared to the Three months ended March 31, 2011

Net Sales

Overall, our net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased approximately 64% from the comparable period in 2011.  The following table provides comparative data regarding the source of our net sales in each of these periods:

Net sales of our videoconference services for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased approximately 45% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. Videoconference product revenue decreased due to a decrease in maintenance, service and video conference room and equipment rental income during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Videoconference product revenue fell during the three months ended March 31, 2012 because we have focused our efforts on our security service operations.

Net sales of security services for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased by approximately 67% as compared to the same periods in 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, one customer accounted for approximately78% of our total revenues which accounted for revenues of approximately $19,000 of our consolidated revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2012.  During the three months ended March 31, 2011, one customer accounted for approximately $57,000, representing approximately 86% of our consolidated revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Additionally, we experienced increased competition from competitors that sell similar products. In an effort to increase our sales in future periods, we need to hire additional sales staff to initiate a telemarketing campaign and we need to obtain leads from various lead sources such as lead generating telemarketing lists, email marketing campaigns and other sources. However, given our lack of working capital, we cannot assure that we will ever be able to successfully implement our current business strategy or increase our revenues in future periods. Although we recognized sales during the three months ended March 31, 2012, there can be no assurances that we will continue to recognize similar revenues in the future. 
 
Cost of sales

Cost of sales for video conferencing services includes product and delivery costs relating to the delivery of videoconference products.  Cost of sales for security services includes product cost and installation/labor cost. Overall, cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased approximately 58% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from the comparable period in 2011.  The following table provides information on the cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, our cost of sales for our videoconferencing division as a percentage of net sales increased as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. Our cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for our videoconferencing division increased due to the decrease in revenues as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, our cost of sales for our security division as a percentage of net sales increased as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to decreased revenues as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 as well as incentives provided to customers which we provided to generate future purchases from existing customers.

                Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $133,173, a decrease of $555,157, or approximately 81%, from total operating expenses for the comparable three months ended March 31, 2011 of $688,330. This decrease is primarily attributable to:

           Bad debt expense decrease by $29,675 or 100% during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Such decrease is due to the decrease in write-off of our accounts receivable as a result of the decrease in our revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2012;
  
           Compensation, related taxes and stock-based compensation consists of personnel cost and the fair value of common shares issued for services to employees. A decrease of $485,184 or 81% in compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2012 which is primarily a decrease in staff resulting from a downturn in our business operations and the intentional scaling down of expenses directly correlated to the decrease in business;

           an decrease of $40,298 or  45% during the three months ended March 31, 2012, respectively, as compared to same periods in fiscal 2011 in other selling, general and administrative expenses which again is directly related to our decrease in business and the intentional cut back in expenditures.

We presently anticipate that operating expenses for fiscal 2012 will increase as a result of anticipated increased operations in our security division, subject to our ability to generate operating capital.

Loss from operations

We reported a loss from operations of $136,626 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to a loss from operations of $659,072 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. A decrease of $522,446 or 79% for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Other Income (Expenses)

Total other (expense) income was ($9,147) for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to other (expense) income of $(18,749) for the three months ended March 31, 2011. A decrease of other expense of $9,602 or 51% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, is primarily attributable to:
 
           an increase to $4,981 from $0 of other income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively was attributable to the reduction of accounts payable over four years old that management has deemed forgiven;
 
           an decrease of $15,913 in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease is primarily attributable to amortization of debt issuance cost and debt discount in connection with the convertible promissory notes that were expensed in fiscal 2011.
 
           change in fair value of derivative liabilities consist of income or expense associated with the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities as a result of the application of FASB ASC Topic No. 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock, to our consolidated financial statements. The variation in fair value of the derivative liabilities between measurement dates amounted to a decrease of $156 during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase/decrease in fair value of the derivative liabilities has been recognized as other expense/income.

Net loss

We reported a net loss of $145,773 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to a net loss of $677,821 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. We reported net loss attributable to non-controlling interest and DirectView Holdings, Inc. of $136,710 during the three months ended March 31, 2012. We reported net loss attributable to non-controlling interest and DirectView Holdings, Inc. of $522,088 during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. At March 31, 2012, we had a cash balance of $233. Our working capital deficit is $2,219,333 at March 31, 2012.
 
We reported a net decrease in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of $7,015. While we currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures, at March 31, 2012 we owed approximately $178,000 under various notes payable.  We do not presently have any external sources of working capital.

At March 31, 2012 we owed Mr. and Mrs. Michele Ralston, executive officers and directors of our company $111,494 for amounts they have advanced to us for working capital.  Of this amount, $3,291 and $8,869 which is owed to Mr. Roger Ralston and Mrs. Michele Ralston, respectively are short-term and non-interest bearing. Due on demand notes payable aggregating $53,133 and a $47,000 note payable maturing in June 2010 plus accrued interest of $15,702  is owed to Mr. Ralston which bears interest at 12%, and the remaining $60,272, which includes accrued interest is due Mrs. Michele Ralston under a note bearing interest at 3% per annum and due in July 2010. In March 2011, the Company and Mrs. Michele Ralston agreed to change the term of this promissory note into a demand note.

Accrued liabilities were $1,197,318 as of March 31, 2012 consist of the following:
 
        Accrued salaries to our officers and certain employees amounting to $817,113
        Accrued commissions to certain employees amounting to $60,589
        Accrued payroll taxes including interest and penalties of $147,583
        Sales tax payable of $18,314
        Lease abandonment charges of $161,669
        Accrued interest of $100,136
●        Accrued payroll liabiltities of $24,388
        Other accrued expenses of $15,109

Our net sales are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses.  We will need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. We reported a net loss of $145,773 and net loss attributable to DirectView Holdings Inc. of $136,710 during the three months ended March 31, 2012.  At March 31, 2012 we had a working capital deficit of $2,219,333. We will need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. We do not anticipate we will be profitable during the remainder of fiscal 2012.  Therefore our operations will be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing.  Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. The trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital may restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations. Furthermore we have debt obligations, which must be satisfied.  If we are successful in securing additional working capital, we intend to increase our marketing efforts to grow our revenues.  We do not presently have any firm commitments for any additional capital and our financial condition as well as the uncertainty in the capital markets may make our ability to secure this capital difficult. There are no assurances that we will be able to continue our business, and we may be forced to cease operations in which event investors could lose their entire investment in our company. Included in our Notes to the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is a discussion regarding Going Concern.

Operating activities

Net cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 amounted to $32,938 and was primarily attributable to our net loss attributable to DirectView Holdings, Inc. of $136,710, offset by depreciation of $75, debt discount of $2,038, bad debt expense (gain) of ($29,376), total changes in assets and liabilities of $139,942 and offset by change in fair value of derivative liability of $156 and non-controlling interest of $9,063.  Net cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 amounted to $117,856 and was primarily attributable to our net losses of $522,088, offset by depreciation of $75, stock based expenses of $475,000, lease abandonment charges of $3,598, amortization of debt issuance cost and debt discount of $20,311 and add back total changes in assets and liabilities of $72,919. 

Financing activities

Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $25,923 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. We had a bank overdraft of $782, and related party advances of $25,141. Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $116,142 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. We received net proceeds from sale of stock of $32,195 and from the sale of subsidiary stock of  $62,424 as well as related party advances of $21,523.
  
Contractual Obligations

We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including Roger Ralston, our chief executive officer, and Michele Ralston, our chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2012.

Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.
 
 
23

 
 
Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. Based on that evaluation, our management, including Roger Ralston, our Chief Executive Officer, and Michele Ralston, our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that because of the significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2012.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(F) and 15d-15(F) under the Securities Exchange Act.  Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”) on an annual basis.   As previously reported on our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, management identified significant deficiencies related to (i) our internal audit functions and (ii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions.
 
Management has determined that our internal audit function is significantly deficient due to insufficient qualified resources to perform internal audit functions.
 
Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals.
 
We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the material weaknesses identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate. Due to the nature of these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, there is more than a remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to our annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.
 
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
