 (UNAUDITED)








1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES





Background and Nature of Operations





CrowdGather, Inc. is an internet company that specializes in developing and hosting forum based websites and is headquartered in Woodland Hills, California.





CrowdGather, Inc. (formerly WestCoast Golf Experiences, Inc., or “WestCoast”), (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 20, 2005.





On April 2, 2008, the Company, General Mayhem LLC (“General”) and the Company’s wholly- owned subsidiary, General Mayhem Acquisition Corp. (the “Acquisition Subsidiary”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”).  The merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement (“the “Merger”) closed on April 8, 2008.  The Merger resulted in General merging into the Acquisition Subsidiary, with the Acquisition Subsidiary surviving. Prior to the Merger, the Company effected a 13-for-1 stock split of its Shares.  All share numbers presented in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the stock split.  Each share of General was converted into and became one (1) share, on a post-stock split basis, such that former members of General held 21,000,000, or approximately 52.8%, of the outstanding shares of the Company at the time.  On April 8, 2008, pursuant to the Agreement of Merger and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated April 8, 2008 by and between WestCoast and Acquisition Subsidiary, the Acquisition Subsidiary merged with and into WestCoast, with WestCoast surviving. In connection with the latter merger, WestCoast changed its name to CrowdGather, Inc.





On June 9, 2010, the Company acquired Adisn, Inc. through an exchange of stock.  As a result, Adisn, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.





These condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include the activities of the Company and itswholly-owned subsidiary, Adisn, Inc. from the date of acquisition June 9, 2010 through October 31, 2010.  All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.





Basis of Presentation





The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Item 10 of Regulation S-X.  They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K of CrowdGather, Inc. for the year ended April 30, 2010. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended October 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the entire year. For further information, these unaudited financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2010, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.





Use of Estimates





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





Cash Equivalents





For purposes of the balance sheets and statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.





Accounts Receivable





The Company is subject to credit risk as it extends credit to its customers, mostly on an unsecured basis after performing certain credit analysis.  Management estimates and provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical collection experience and its assessment of the current status of individual accounts.  At October 31, 2010, the Company’s management considered all outstanding receivables fully collectible.





Property and Equipment





Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period.  Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to ten years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the related lease term.





Identifiable Intangible Assets





In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but instead are measured for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter, or when events indicate that impairment exists.  As required by ASC 350, in the impairment tests for indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company compares the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, website domain names, using a combination of discounted cash flow analysis and market value comparisons.  If the carrying value exceeds the estimate of fair value, the Company calculates the impairment as the excess of the carrying value over the estimate of fair value and accordingly, records the loss.





Intangible assets that are determined to have definite lives are amortized over the shorter of their legal lives or their estimated useful lives and are measured for impairment only when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment discussed below.


6
  1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets





In accordance with ASC 360, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the asset to assess whether or not a potential impairment exists when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of a long-lived asset may be impaired.  If the carrying value exceeds the Company’s estimate of future undiscounted cash flows, the Company then calculates the impairment as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over the Company’s estimate of its fair value.





Income Taxes





The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs.  The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics.  A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.





Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share





In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.  As of October 31, 2009, the Company had $2,374,283 convertible debt that could potentially be converted into 2,479,415 shares of the Company’s common stock, 1,599,997 warrants and approximately 770,625 of vested stock options that could be converted into 770,625 shares of the Company’s common stock.As of October 31, 2010 the Company had 1,300,000 Preferred Series A shares that could be converted into 1,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, 1,415,938 vested stock options  that could be converted into 1,415,938 shares of the Company’s common stock and 433,334 warrants that could be converted into 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  These potential common shares are excluded from the diluted loss per share computation in net loss periods as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.





Revenue Recognition





The Company currently works with third-party advertising networks and advertisers pay for advertising on a cost per thousand views, cost per click or cost per action basis.  Additionally the Company has entered into a web-based software development contract with a customer, for which revenue is accounted for in accordance with ASC 985-605, Software – Revenue Recognition, and all related interpretations.  All sales are recorded in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition.  Revenue is recognized when all the criteria have been met:





• When persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.


• The services have been provided to the customer.


• The fee is fixed or determinable.


• Collectability is reasonably assured.





Revenue deferrals relate to the timing of revenue recognized for the sale of software in which the customer has already paid for the development costs in advance.  Revenue is recognized ratably over the periods in which the services are performed.





Stock Based Compensation





The Company accounts for employee stock option grants in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASC 718 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. ASC 718 requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award - the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).





For options and warrants issued as compensation to non-employees for services that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the time of issuance, the estimated value is recorded in equity and expensed when the services are performed and benefit is received as provided by ASC 505-50, Equity – Disclosure. For unvested shares, the change in fair value during the period is recognized in expense using the graded vesting method.




Recent Accounting Pronouncements





There were various accounting updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.





Reclassifications





Certain amounts in the 2009 financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current year presentation.

2.
ACQUISITIONS





Adisn, Inc.





On June 9, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger among  the Company, Adisn, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Adisn”) and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Adisn Acquisition Corp. , pursuant to which Adisn Acquisition Corp. merged with and into Adisn and Adisn survived as the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Pursuant to the merger, the shareholders of Adisn received 4,621,849 shares of common stock of the Company, subject to escrow obligations of the securities escrow agreement, and have a right to receive an additional $1,000,000 payable in shares of the Company’s common stock (“the Earn-Out Shares”) if Adisn generates gross revenues in excess of $1,562,500 for the twelve month period ending on June 9, 2011.





Also, in connection with the merger, issued and outstanding warrants to purchase 825,000 shares of Adisn common stock became warrants to purchase shares of common stock of Company. The exercise price and number of shares was proportionately adjusted based on the exchange ratio for Adisn common stock issued in connection with the merger, such that the holder of the warrants will have the right to purchase 161,997 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.018 per share.





The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, with the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at fair value, and the results of Adisn’s operations included in the Company’s financial statements from the date of acquisition.





Team Awesome Productions, Inc. (“Lefora”) Asset Purchase Agreement and Software License Agreement





On July 23, 2010, the Company entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Purchase Agreement”) and a Software License Agreement ("License Agreement") with Team Awesome Productions, Inc. d/b/a Lefora (“Lefora”) for total consideration of $1,000,000 payable in shares of the Company's common stock.





Purchase Agreement





Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement  the Company acquired the websites and domain names (“Websites”) set forth below:





●
www.lefora.com●
www.eamped.com


●
www.makeforum.com●
www.maxforum.com


●
www.takeforum.com●
www.forumnotifier.com


●
www.forumnotification.com●
www.foruminvite.com




Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the Company also acquired the web forums associated with the websites and domain names listed above, along with the all assets that constitute those forums, plus the technology and intellectual property needed for conducting the business on each of those forums, all associated accounts for these websites, including users lists, databases, along with associated intellectual property, trade secrets and past and future infringement claims.





The total purchase price for the Websites and the associated assets was $990,000 payable to Lefora in 970,859 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Purchase Shares”), which was calculated by dividing $990,000 by $1.02, the 15-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s common stock, the 15th day of which was the trading day immediately preceding July 23, 2010.





License Agreement





Under the related License Agreement with Lefora, the Company acquired an exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free and fully paid up license to the source code used in developing the computer software program generally known as “Talki”, which allows the Company its use to develop additional websites in the future.  The consideration paid by the Company pursuant to the License Agreement was Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) payable to Lefora in 9,804 shares of the Company’s common stock (“License Shares”), which was calculated by dividing $10,000 by $1.02, the 15-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s common stock, the 15th day of which was the trading day immediately preceding July 23, 2010.





Service Agreements





In connection with the Lefora transaction, the Company also entered into six independent contractor agreements (“Service Agreements”) with consultants of Lefora to operate the Websites. The Service Agreements contemplate: (i) collective base compensation of $300,000 payable in shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) terms of no less than six (6) months; and (iii) six-month vesting provisions, which provide that such shares will vest if such Consultant continues to serve as a Consultant to the Company for a minimum period of six (6) months after closing date of the Purchase Agreement.





Each of the Service Agreements also provide for payment of certain conditional traffic bonus compensation payable to each Consultant in shares of Company's common stock if, during the next twelve months, the average monthly visitor traffic to www.lefora.com is greater than or equal to 9.2 million monthly page views as measured by Google Analytics, or if the average monthly visitor traffic is greater than 8.5 million but below 9.2 million monthly page views.  No conditional traffic bonus payment will be due if the average monthly visitor traffic is below 8.5 million monthly page views.  Additionally, one (1) Consultant is paid compensation of $500 per month for the term of that particular Service Agreement.

Depreciation expense was $26,627 and $16,697 for the six months ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.





4.   FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES




Determination of Fair Value




At October 31, 2010, the Company calculated the fair value of its assets and liabilities pursuant to ASC 820 for disclosure purposes as described below.




Valuation Hierarchy




ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for the use of fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date:




Level 1.     Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative financial instruments actively traded on exchanges, as well as U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed securities that are actively traded in highly liquid over the counter markets.




Level 2.     Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs that are observable or can be corroborated, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.




Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt instruments that are traded less frequently than exchange traded securities and derivative instruments whose model inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by market observable data. Examples in this category are certain variable and fixed rate non-agency mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities and derivative contracts.




Level 3.     Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable but significant to the fair value measurement. Examples in this category include interests in certain securitized financial assets, certain private equity investments, and derivative contracts that are highly structured or long-dated.




A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.





The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, employee advances, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short period to maturity of these instruments pursuant to ASC 825.





The Company had no other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis under the hierarchy as of October 31, 2010.





5.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK





The Company maintains its cash deposits in two bank accounts which at times have exceeded the federally insured limits of $250,000.  At October 31, 2010, the Company’s cash balance exceeded this limit by $1,047,430.The Company has not experienced any losses with respect to its cash balances.





As of October 31, 2010, two (2) customers accounted for approximately 60% of the Company’s outstanding receivables.  In addition, two (2) customers accounted for approximately 63% of the Company’s sales for the period ended October 31, 2010.





9


6.   INTANGIBLE ASSETS





The Company purchased online forums, message boards and website domain names for cash in the amount of $57,392 and stock valued at $7,600,000 during the six months ended October 31, 2010 and $12,445 during the six months ended October 31, 2009.

9. STOCK OPTIONS





In May 2008 the board of directors of the Company approved the CrowdGather, Inc. 2008 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan permits flexibility in types of awards, and specific terms of awards, which will allow future awards to be based on then-current objectives for aligning compensation with increasing long-term shareholder value.

As of October 31, 2010, total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $1,104,361, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.81 years.





The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following weighted-average assumptions:





Six Months Ended October 31,2010Risk-free interest rate


2.0%Expected volatility


100.00%Expected option life (in years)


4.00Expected dividend yield


0.00





The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues. The expected volatility is primarily based on historical volatility levels of the Company’s public company peer group. The expected option life of each award granted was calculated using the “simplified method” in accordance with ASC 718.





10.    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES





For the six months ended October 31, 2010, the Company has recognized the minimum amount of franchise tax required under California corporation law of $800.  The Company is not currently subject to further federal or state tax since it has incurred losses since its inception.





As of October 31, 2010, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $7,600,000 which can be used to offset future federal income tax.  The federal and state net operating loss carry forwards expire at various dates through 2029.  Deferred tax assets resulting from the net operating losses are reduced by a valuation allowance, when, in the opinion of management, utilization is not reasonably assured.





As of October 31, 2010, the Company had the following deferred tax assets related to net operating losses.  A 100% valuation allowance has been established due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to realize future taxable income and to recover its net deferred tax assets.

In accordance with ASC 855, the Company has evaluated its subsequent events through November 23, 2010, the date these financial statements were issued.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis.




This following information specifies certain forward-looking statements of management of the company. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events and are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may”, “shall”, “could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “predict”, “probable”, “possible”, “should”, “continue”, or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.





The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. We cannot guaranty that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.





Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be 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. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources.





The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2010, together with notes thereto as previously filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K.  In addition, these accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended October 31, 2010.





Our Business.   We are an Internet company that specializes in monetizing a network of online forums and message boards designed to engage, provide information to and build community around users. We are in the process of building what we hope will become one of the largest social, advertising, and user generated content networks by consolidating  existing groups of online users that post on message boards and forums. Our goal is to create the world's best user experience for forum communities, and world class service offerings for forum owners. We believe that the communities built around message boards and forums are one of the most dynamic sources of information available on the web because forums are active communities built around interest and information exchange on specific topics.





Part of our growth strategy includes identifying and acquiring web properties.  Since our inception we have been researching potential opportunities to acquire online forums within targeted content and advertising verticals in our industry in order to expand our operations. In addition to the over 70 properties and 450 domain names acquired to date, we also maintain ongoing discussions with representatives of certain web properties and other companies that may be interested in being acquired by us or entering into a joint venture agreement with us.





Our network is comprised of two segments: branded forum communities and third-party hosted communities that are built on one of our forum hosting platforms.  The branded communities are wholly owned by us and we monetize them through a combination of text and display ads.  The third-party hosted communities, which comprise the majority of our revenues, traffic, and page views, are sites built upon one of our leading forum hosting platforms.  On these sites we are usually free to monetize through a combination of Internet advertising mediums at our discretion in exchange for providing free software, support, and hosting.  In some instances, we may derive subscription revenues in lieu of advertising revenues because the creator of the site has decided to pay us a monthly fee in exchange for providing an ad free experience for their members.  Our goal is to ultimately build an advertising network that allows for us to leverage the targeted demographics of the combined network in order to generate the highest advertising rates for all of our member sites.





Acquisition of Adisn, Inc. On June 9, 2010, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger among us, Adisn, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Adisn”) and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Adisn Acquisition Corp. (the “Adisn Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Adisn Acquisition Corp. merged with and into Adisn and Adisn survived as our wholly-owned subsidiary.  Pursuant to the Adisn Merger Agreement, the shareholders of Adisn received 4,621,849 shares of our common stock (the “Merger Shares”), subject to the escrow obligations of a securities escrow agreement, as discussed below, plus a right to receive the Earn-Out Shares, as defined below, if and when they become issuable.





The Merger Shares will be issued to the Adisn stockholders in a transaction which we believe satisfies the requirements of that exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, which exemption is specified by the provisions of Section 4(2) of that act and Regulation D promulgated pursuant to that act by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).





The Adisn Merger Agreement also provides that we will issue an additional $1,000,000 to the Adisn stockholders, which shall be payable in shares of our common stock (“Earn-Out Shares”) to be distributed on a pro-rata basis. The number of Earn-OutShares to be issued to the Adisn stockholders shall be calculated by dividing $1,000,000 by the 20-day volume weighted average price of our common stock, the 20th day of which shall be the trading day immediately preceding the one year anniversary date of June 9, 2010. The Earn-Out Shares will only be issued to the Adisn stockholders if, during the next twelve months, Adisn generates gross revenues, as defined according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, of more than $1,562,500.





The Adisn Merger Agreement further provides that in the event we file a registration statement with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Adisn stockholders have the right to request that we include in that registration statement the shares of common stock then held by Adisn stockholders.





13


Securities Escrow Agreement.





As an inducement to us to enter into the Adisn Merger Agreement, on June 9, 2010, we and certain of the Adisn stockholders entered into a securities escrow agreement, pursuant to which those Adisn stockholders agreed to place stock certificates of our common stock representing an aggregate of 2,172,603 shares of common stock (“Escrow Shares”) into escrow for our benefit of (i) to secure certain indemnification obligations in the Adisn Merger Agreement, and (ii) in the event we fail to achieve certain financial performance thresholds for the six and twelve month periods following the closing of the Adisn merger.





Lock-up Agreements





Concurrently with the closing of the Adisn Merger Agreement, we entered into lock-up agreements with certain of the Adisn stockholders for the Merger Shares. The Adisn stockholders agreed that during the period from the closing of the Adisn Merger Agreement on June 9, 2010, until the first anniversary thereof, the Adisn stockholders will not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of more than (i) fifty percent of the Merger Shares during the first three month period after the six month period from June 9, 2010, and (ii) fifty percent of the Merger Shares during the second three month period after the six month period from June 9, 2010, other than in connection with an offer made to all of our stockholders in connection with merger, consolidation, or similar transaction involving us.





Concurrently with the closing of the Adisn Merger Agreement, we entered into lock-up agreements with certain of the Adisn stockholders for the Escrow Shares. Each holder agreed that during the period from the closing of the Adisn Merger Agreement on June 9, 2010, until the eighteen month anniversary thereof, the Adisn stockholders will not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of more than (i) fifty percent of the Escrow Shares during the first three month period after the twelve month period from June 9, 2010, and (ii) fifty percent of the Escrow Shares during the second three month period after the twelve month period from June 9, 2010, other than in connection with an offer made to all our stockholders in connection with merger, consolidation, or similar transaction involving us.





Acquisition of Lefora Websites.





On July 23, 2010, we entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Purchase Agreement”) and a Software License Agreement ("License Agreement") with Team Awesome Productions, Inc. d/b/a Lefora (“Lefora”) for total consideration of $1,000,000 payable in shares of our common stock.





Purchase Agreement





Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement we acquired the websites and domain names (“Websites”) set forth below:





·
www.lefora.com·
www.eamped.com·
www.makeforum.com·
www.maxforum.com


·
www.takeforum.com·
www.forumnotifier.com·
www.forumnotification.com·

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement we also acquired the web forums associated with the websites and domain names listed above, along with the all assets that constitute those forums, plus the technology and intellectual property needed for conducting the business on each of those forums, all associated accounts for these websites, including users lists, databases, along with associated intellectual property, trade secrets and past and future infringement claims.





The total purchase price for the Websites and the associated assets was $990,000 payable to Lefora in 970,859 shares of our common stock (“Purchase Shares”), which was calculated by dividing $990,000 by $1.02, the 15-day volume weighted average price of our common stock, the 15th day of which was the trading day immediately preceding July 23, 2010.  The Purchase Shares will be issued to Lefora in a transaction which we believes satisfies the requirements of that exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, which exemption is specified by the provisions of Section 4(2) of that act and Regulation D promulgated pursuant to that act by the Securities and Exchange Commission.





The Purchase Shares were  issued to Lefora in a transaction which we believes satisfies the requirements of that exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, which exemption is specified by the provisions of Section 4(2) of that act and Regulation D promulgated pursuant to that act by the Securities and Exchange Commission.





The Purchase Agreement further provides that in the event we file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Lefora has the right to request that we include in that registration statement the Purchase Shares held by Lefora.





14


License Agreement





Pursuant to the License Agreement we acquired an exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free and fully paid up license to the source code used in developing the computer software program generally known as “Talki”, which allows us its use to develop additional websites in the future.  The consideration paid by us pursuant to the License Agreement is $10,000 payable to Lefora in 9,804 shares of our common stock (“License Shares”), which was calculated by dividing $10,000 by $1.02, the 15-day volume weighted average price of our common stock, the 15th day of which was the trading day immediately preceding July 23, 2010.





The License Shares of common stock were issued to Lefora in a transaction which we believe satisfies the requirements of that exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, which exemption is specified by the provisions of Section 4(2) of that act and Regulation D promulgated pursuant to that act by the Securities and Exchange Commission.





Services Agreements





In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into six independent contractor agreements (“Services Agreements”) with consultants of Lefora (each a “Consultant” and, collectively, the "Consultants") to operate the Websites. The Services Agreements contemplate: (i) collective base compensation of  $300,000 payable in shares of our common stock, (ii) terms of no less than six (6) months; and (iii) six-month vesting provisions, which provide that such shares will vest if such Consultant continues to serve as a Consultant to us for a minimum period of six months after closing date of the Purchase Agreement.





Each of the Services Agreements also provides for payment of certain conditional traffic bonus compensation payable to each Consultant in shares of our common stock if, during the next twelve months, the average monthly visitor traffic to www.lefora.com is greater than or equal to 9.2 million monthly page views as measured by Google Analytics, or if the average monthly visitor traffic is greater than 8.5 million but below 9.2 million monthly page views.  No conditional traffic bonus payment will be due if the average monthly visitor traffic is below 8.5 million monthly page views.  Additionally, one of the Consultants will be paid compensation of $500 per month for the term of that particular Services Agreement.





Acquisition of Freeforums.org.On March 12, 2010, we entered into a website and domain name acquisition agreement (“Agreement”) with Phil Santoro (“Santoro”) pursuant to which we acquired the website, www.freeforums.org and domain names (“Websites”) set forth below:

http://www.freeforums-inc.org.





Pursuant to the Agreement we acquired all associated software used in building the Websites, along with the associated users lists, databases, add-ons installed with these forums and associated accounts for these websites. The total purchase price of the Websites was $1,000,000, which consisted of cash and stock. The Agreement also provides for payment of conditional traffic bonus compensation in the form of an additional $200,000 payable to Santoro in shares of our common stock, using the 20-day volume weighted average price of our common stock, the 20th day of which shall be the trading day immediately preceding the one year anniversary date of March 12, 2010.  The additional payment will only be due to Santoro if, during the following twelve months, the average monthly visitor traffic to the Websites is greater than or equal to 59.13 million monthly page views, as measured by Google analytics.

For the three months ended October 31, 2010, as compared to the three months ended October 31, 2009.





Results of Operations





Revenues.  We realized revenues of $462,925 for the three months ended October 31, 2010, as compared to revenues of $58,061 for the three months ended October 31, 2009. The increased revenue is a result of increasing advertising related revenue as well as revenues of Adisn, our wholly-owned subsidiary, included only for the three months ended October 31, 2010. The Adisn revenues are generated by delivering advertising campaigns on behalf of direct advertisers and their agencies. We anticipate that as we continue to operate our business and expand our holdings of websites and domain names, we will begin to generate more significant advertising related revenues as we implement the advertising and sponsorship initiatives for all of our web properties.





Our cost of revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2010 was $177,991, as compared to cost of revenue of $0 for the three months ended October 31, 2009. The  cost of revenue in 2010 was primarily related to the acquisition of Adisn and its revenue model which requires that we purchase ad inventory in order for us to deliver advertising campaigns on behalf of direct advertisers and their agencies.





Our gross profit for the three months ended October 31, 2010 was $284,934, as compared to gross profit of $58,061 for the three months ended October 31, 2009. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributed to the increase in advertising related revenue and Adisn’s revenue model.





16


Operating Expenses. For the three months ended October 31, 2010, our total operating expenses were $996,206, as compared to total operating expenses of $529,143 for the three months ended October 31, 2009.  The increase between the comparable periods is primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses, which increased from $340,234 for the three months ended October 31, 2009, to $774,760 for the three months ended October 31, 2010. The increase in general and administrative expenses between the comparable periods was primarily due to the costs related to the acquisitions of Adisn and Lefora  in 2010 and the increased operating expenses associated with these two acquisitions. We also experienced an increase in payroll and related expenses from $188,909 for the three months ended October 31, 2009 to $221,446 for the three months ended October 31, 2010.  Non-cash expenses related to stock based compensation accounted for $462,833 of our total operating expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2010 and represented a $301,833 increase over the $161,000 in non-cash expenses for the comparable period in the prior year.





Our loss from operations for the three months ended October 31, 2010 was $711,272, as compared our loss from operations of $471,082 for the three months ended October 31, 2009.





Other Income and Expense. For the three months ended October 31, 2010, we had no other income or expense items to report.  By comparison, for the three months ended October 31, 2009, we had other expense (net) of $140,467, consisting of interest income of $935, interest expense of $47,486 and interest expense for debt discount amortization of $93,916.




Net Loss. For the three months ended October 31, 2010, our net loss was $711,272, as compared to a net loss of $611,549 for the three months ended on October 31, 2009.  The increase in our net loss between the two periods was primarily due to the increased operating costs related to the acquisition of Adisn and Lefora.





For the six months ended October 31, 2010, as compared to the six months ended October 31, 2009.





Results of Operations





Revenues.  We realized revenues of $793,004 for the six months ended October 31, 2010, as compared to revenues of $111,132 for the six months ended October 31, 2009. The increased revenue is a result of increasing advertising related revenue as well as revenues of Adisn, our wholly-owned subsidiary, from the date of acquisition June 9, 2010 through October 31, 2010. The Adisn revenues are generated by delivering advertising campaigns on behalf of direct advertisers and their agencies. We anticipate that as we continue to operate our business and expand our holdings of websites and domain names, we will begin to generate more significant advertising related revenues as we implement the advertising and sponsorship initiatives for all of our web properties.





Our cost of revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2010 was $326,720, as compared to cost of revenue of $0 for the six months ended October 31, 2009. The cost of revenue in 2010 was primarily related to the acquisition of Adisn and its revenue model which requires that we purchase ad inventory in order for us to deliver advertising campaigns on behalf of direct advertisers and their agencies.





Our gross profit for the six months ended October 31, 2010 was $466,284, as compared to gross profit of $111,132 for the six months ended October 31, 2009. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributed to the increase in advertising related revenue and Adisn’s revenue model.





To implement our business plan during the next twelve months, we need to generate increased revenues by expanding our online forum offerings and increasing the capabilities of our existing online forums. Our failure to do so will hinder our ability to increase the size of our operations and to generate additional revenues. If we are not able to generate additional revenues to cover our operating costs, we may not be able to expand our operations.





We believe our recent acquisition of Adisn will contribute to CrowdGather’s revenues in two ways.  First, we will realize Adisn’s existing revenues which are generated by delivering advertising campaigns on behalf of direct advertisers and their agencies.  Adisn negotiates advertising rates with its customers and then purchases ad inventory from real-time advertising exchanges and online publishers at a lower cost, thus capturing the difference as net revenues.  Many of the campaigns that Adisn delivers have a performance incentive whereby the effectiveness of the campaign as measured by successful conversions on behalf of the advertiser can result in increased pay out on a per action basis.  For these types of campaigns, Adisn utilizes its industry knowledge and ad server technology in order to buy targeted placements for the lowest possible cost.  Secondly, as a wholly owned subsidiary of CrowdGather, it is our belief that Adisn will be able to represent some of our forum properties to their existing and future advertisers where there is a good fit between the products and services being advertised and the demographics of the sites visitors.  CrowdGather’s unfilled ad inventory will also provide zero cost advertising inventory for Adisn’s performance campaigns thus generating incremental revenue for CrowdGather.  With Adisn, we believe CrowdGather has effectively achieved two objectives: the addition of a sales force for our growing advertising network; and ad server technology that can provide analytics and tracking that are required for higher value advertising campaigns.





Operating Expenses. For the six months ended October 31, 2010, our total operating expenses were $1,813,721, as compared to total operating expenses of $1,181,303 for the six months ended on October 31, 2009.  The increase between the comparable periods is primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses, which increased from $807,892 for the six months ended October 31, 2009, to $1,381,317 for the six months ended October 31, 2010. The increase in general and administrative expenses between the comparable periods was primarily due to the costs related to the acquisitions of Adisn and Lefora during the six months ended October 31, 2010. We also experienced an increase in payroll and related expenses from $373,411 for the six months ended October 31, 2009 to $432,404 for the six months ended October 31, 2010.  Non-cash expenses related to stock based compensation accounted for $726,100 of our total operating expenses for the six months ended October 31, 2010 and represented a $285,940 increase over the $440,160 in non-cash expenses for the comparable period in the prior year.





In general, we believe our future monthly operating expenses in fiscal year 2010 will be similar to our current expense levels, plus only incremental direct costs relating to newly acquired websites. We will continue to incur significant general and administrative expenses, but expect to generate increased revenues after further developing our business.  In addition, we anticipate that our necessary cash outlays will continue to become more efficient.





Our subsidiary, Adisn, currently operates at a minimal fixed overhead comprised of personnel and server costs.  The majority of Adisn’s future expense increase will be directly related to the need to purchase ad inventory on behalf of the revenues generated from advertisers they service, reflected as cost of revenues.





Our loss from operations for the six months ended October 31, 2010 was $1,347,437, as compared our loss from operations of $1,070,171 for the six months ended October 31, 2009.

Other Income and Expense. For the six months ended October 31, 2010, we had interest expense of $4,404, penalties of $48,156, and a gain on the settlement of debt of $73,628, resulting in net other income of $21,068.  By comparison, for the six months ended October 31, 2009, we had other expense (net) of $807,090, consisting of interest income of $1,737, interest expense of $87,057, interest expense for debt discount amortization of $158,199, and loss on extinguishment of debt of $563,571.  The significant loss of settlement on debt that we incurred for the six months ended October 31, 2009 resulted from the secured convertible debenture financing that we closed in May 2009.





Net Loss. For the six months ended October 31, 2010, our net loss was $1,327,169, as compared to a net loss of $1,878,061 for the six months ended on October 31, 2009.  The decrease in our net loss between the two periods was primarily due to the loss on settlement of debt in 2009 which resulted from the secured convertible debenture financing that we closed in May 2009, as discussed above.





Liquidity and Capital Resources. Our total current assets were $1,371,611 as of October 31, 2010, which consisted of cash of $1,297,430, accounts receivable of $54,049 and prepaid expenses and deposits of $20,132. As of October 31, 2010, we had total assets of $11,470,486, consisting of property and equipment with a net value of $107,962, intangible assets of $5,630,737, represented by our domain names and other intellectual property owned, and goodwill of $4,360,176 from our acquisitions of Adisn and Lefora.





Our current liabilities as of October 31, 2010, totaled $563,258, consisting of accounts payable of $47,093, accrued vacation of $41,042 and other accrued liabilities of $52,123. We had no other liabilities and no long-term commitments or contingencies at October 31, 2010.





On May 21, 2009, we closed a private offering of 18-month secured convertible debentures.  As of the initial closing, we received cash proceeds of $1,300,000, and approximately $1,075,000 in previously issued short-term convertible promissory notes were exchanged for the new debentures. The debentures bore interest at a rate of 8 % per annum, which is due and payable upon conversion or upon maturity in November 2010.  The majority of the debentures were convertible into common stock, at the holder’s option, at an initial conversion price of the greater of $0.50 or a 20% discount to the volume weighted average share price (VWAP) for the 10 days prior to the date of conversion.  The remaining debentures ($532,500 of initial principal value) that were exchanged by the holders of existing short-term promissory notes were convertible into common stock, at the holder’s option, at an initial conversion price of the greater of $0.50 or a 32% discount to the VWAP for the 10 days prior to the date of conversion. Following the closing, we had no short-term debt obligations. In February 2010, all of the outstanding convertible notes payable described above were converted into shares of our common stock as follows:





·
On February 27, 2010, we issued 1,004,875 shares of our common stock to one foreign institutional investor who elected to convert an 18-month secured convertible debenture issued as described above in May 2009.  The investor converted the debenture in the principal amount of $1,300,000 together with accrued interest of $80,066 for a total of $1,380,066, into 1,004,875 shares of our common stock, or approximately $1.37 per share.





·
On the same date, we issued 903,038 shares to a second foreign institutional investor who elected to convert two debentures that were issued as described above in May 2009.  The investor converted one debenture in the principal amount of $532,500 together with accrued interest of $32,796 for a total of $565,296, into 484,250 shares of our common stock, or approximately $1.17 per share.  The investor also converted a second debenture in the principal amount of $541,783 together with accrued interest of $33,368, for a total of $575,151, into 418,788 shares of our common stock, or approximately $1.37 per share.





In connection with the issuances of the debentures and in order to mitigate the impact of dilution to our stockholders, Sanjay Sabnani, our Chairman and CEO, agreed to surrender 5,000,000 shares of common stock to our treasury for cancellation if and when at least $2 million of debentures was converted into shares of common stock.  As a result of more than $2 million of the debentures being converted, as described above, 5,000,000 shares of common stock held by Mr. Sabnani were cancelled, effective February 27, 2010, in exchange for par value.





On February 3, 2010, we sold 250,000 shares of our common stock to one investor in exchange for $300,000, or $1.20 per share. The price per share of the issuance is subject to certain anti-dilution provisions as specified in the subscription agreement filed as an exhibit to our Report on Form 8-K filed on March 15, 2010. In connection with the sale of shares, the investor also received warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.68 per share, which was the closing price of our common stock on February 3, 2010. The warrant agreement provides for an expiration period of three years from the date of the investment.





On February 27, 2010, we issued 285,715 shares to one foreign institutional investor in exchange for the exercise of warrants at $0.70 per share, or approximately $200,000.  On the same date, we also issued 671,426 shares to a second foreign institutional investor in exchange for the exercise of warrants at $0.70 per share, or approximately $470,000.  These warrants were granted in connection with the debentures transaction described above and reported on our Form 8-K filed on May 26, 2009. The disclosures in that report are incorporated herein by reference and the instruments were filed as exhibits to that report.





On April 29, 2010, we sold 428,571 shares of our common stock to an investor in exchange for $450,000, or $1.05 per share. The price per share of the issuance is subject to certain anti-dilution provisions as specified in the subscription agreement. In connection with the sale of shares, the investor also received warrants to purchase 215,285 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.17 per share. The warrant agreement provides for an expiration period of three years from the date of the investment.  In addition, on April 29, 2010, we issued 35,714 shares of our common stock to that investor, pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the subscription agreement dated February 3, 2010, between us and that same investor.  Specifically, we issued an additional 35,714 shares of our common stock, which is the difference in the amount of shares that would have been issued to the investor if the price per share for the initial investment would have been $1.05 per share.





On September 1, 2010, we issued 142,857 shares to a foreign institutional investor in exchange for the exercise of warrants at $0.70 per share, or approximately $100,000.

On October 25, 2010, we sold 1,300,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (“Shares”) to two foreign investors in exchange for $1,300,000, or $1.00 per share, pursuant to two subscription agreements (“Subscription Agreements”). The designations, preferences and relative rights of the Series A Preferred Stock are specified in the Certificate of Designation of the Relative Rights and Preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”). The Certificate of Designation provides, among other things, that: (i) the conversion price for the Shares is $0.50 per share on or before March 15, 2011, and $0.33 per share after March 15, 2011, subject to adjustment from time to time for recapitalizations and as otherwise set forth in the Certificate of Designation (the “Conversion Price”); (ii) the Shares are convertible into shares of common stock at the option of the investor at any time after the date of issuance into that number of shares of common stock determined by dividing $1.00 by the Conversion Price; and (iii) the Shares are automatically converted into shares of common stock at the then effective conversion rate for such share immediately prior to the listing of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or a Nasdaq market. The Subscription Agreement also provides that from March 15, 2011 to April 14, 2011, we shall have an option (the “Repurchase Option”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Shares held by the investor at $1.00 per Share. The Repurchase Option shall automatically terminate upon any conversion of the Shares into common stock pursuant to the conversion provisions specified in the Certificate of Designation.





In connection with the sale of the Shares, the investors also received warrants to purchase 433,334 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.95 per share. The warrant agreements provide for an expiration period of three years from the date of the investment.





As of October 31, 2010, we had cash of $1,297,430. We estimate that our cash on hand will be sufficient for us to maintain and grow our current operations for the next twelve months. Our forecast for the period for which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could differ as a result of a number of factors. In addition to generating revenues from our current operations, we may need to raise additional capital to expand our operations to the point at which we are able to operate profitably. Accordingly, we will pursue capital through public or private financing as well as borrowings and other sources, including our officers, directors and principal shareholders if necessary. We cannot guaranty that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available from external sources, we may be dependent on our officers, directors and/or principal shareholders to loan us funds to achieve our long term objectives.





The majority of our research and development activity is focused on development of our proprietary software systems such as our forum Content Management System (CMS), CrowdReportTM, as a result most of the cost of this is covered within our engineering budgets.





We do not anticipate that we will purchase any significant equipment except for computer equipment and furniture which we anticipate will cost approximately $50,000 over the near term.





We do not anticipate any significant changes in the number of employees unless we are able to significantly increase the size of our operations. Our management believes that we do not require the services of additional independent contractors to operate at our current level of activity. However, if our level of operations increases beyond the level that our current staff can provide, then we may need to supplement our staff in this manner.





Off Balance Sheet Arrangements





We had no off balance sheet arrangements at October 31, 2010.
