 CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 (unaudited)
 
 1.      Basis of Presentation
  The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Speedus Corp.  (the “Company” or “Speedus”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2009 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto on Form 10-K.
  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.
  Business Activities
  Speedus Corp. operates primarily through its two majority-owned subsidiaries Zargis Medical Corp. (“Zargis”) and Density Dynamics Corp. (“DDC”).
  In 2001 we co-invested with Siemens Corporate Research, Inc., a subsidiary of Siemens Corporation, in Zargis to develop advanced diagnostic decision support products and services for primary care physicians, pediatricians, cardiologists and other healthcare professionals.  In March of 2008 we acquired a majority interest in DDC, a company breaking new ground in the development of DRAM based, energy efficient, sold-state drives (“SSD”) with I/O acceleration technology. For additional information on each of these business segments and our other assets and operations, see the discussions below and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 3, Business Segment Information.”
  Zargis
 Zargis is a medical device company focused on improving health outcomes and cost effectiveness through the development of computer-aided medical devices and telemedicine based delivery systems.   Zargis was formed in 2001 when we co-invested with Siemens Corporate Research, Inc., a subsidiary of Siemens Corporation.  As part of this transaction, Siemens contributed certain intellectual property including a core technology used in the Zargis CardioscanTM device (Cardioscan).
  Cardioscan is a non-invasive, diagnostic support solution that automatically analyzes acoustical data from a patient to determine whether or not the patient possesses a suspected diastolic or systolic murmur and whether or not they present a Class I indication for echocardiography referral.  Heart murmurs can be a sign of serious types of valvular or other heart disease.  Zargis’ patented technology utilizes advanced signal processing algorithms deployed on a standard pc computer platform.  Cardioscan received its initial FDA clearance in May 2004 and received its most recent clearance for Cardioscan in February, 2009.  Cardioscan is fully integrated with the Zargis TelemedTM portal is also cleared for marketing in Australia, Canada, India, Singapore, South Africa and 31 European states.
  In September of 2009, Zargis also announced FDA clearance to market its Signal X6TM device.  Signal X6 is noninvasive and simultaneously records heart and lung sounds from six adhesive acoustic sensors. The recordings can be evaluated locally or, for locations where a cardiac specialist is not immediately available for consultation, transmitted through the Internet for remote evaluation. The sensors are adhesive, rather than handheld, which may reduce motion noise and increases clarity when compared to handheld stethoscopes.  Zargis initially released Signal X6 in August 2009, when 510(k) clearance for the device was received.
  In addition to the development of Cardioscan, Signal X6 and Zargis Telemed, Zargis has been awarded several contracts by the U.S. Army, most recently in August of 2009, to develop prototype versions of telemedicine systems for use in cardiology. These systems record, synchronize and analyze heart sounds, lung sounds and ECG signals in pediatric patients who are being cared for by remote military treatment facilities. The systems have been fully integrated with an existing Army telehealth platform.
  Demand for medical systems designed to remotely project the expertise of cardiologists and other medical specialists is growing within both military and civilian environments worldwide and it is for this reason that Zargis has identified the field of telemedicine as a key focus area for product commercialization.
  In February 2003, we acquired a controlling interest in Zargis of approximately 63%.  At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, as a result of continued investment, our primary equity ownership was approximately 90%.
  In October 2007, Zargis and the 3M Company entered into an exclusive multi-year marketing alliance involving Zargis’ heart sound analysis software and 3M Littmann’s next-generation electronic stethoscope. Under the agreement, Zargis supported 3M in its efforts to develop a next-generation stethoscope that is compatible with Zargis’ heart sound analysis software. In addition, the alliance provides Zargis with a wide-range of marketing and promotional opportunities along with exclusive rights to sell its heart sound analysis software through the global distribution network of the Littmann brand.  The agreement with 3M, based on the total number of Zargis fully diluted shares as of the agreement date, grants 3M a 5% equity position in Zargis following the first sale of Zargis’ software through the 3M distribution channel (which occurred in August of 2009) as an access and exclusivity fee and an additional 5% equity in Zargis in the event that other conditions are met.  The agreement also entitles 3M to a royalty payment based on sales of certain Zargis products and a seat on the Zargis Board of Directors.  The Company recorded revenues related to the sale of software through the 3M distribution channel of approximately $30,000 and recorded a royalty payment to 3M of approximately $7,000 in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

 Index
  Density Dynamics
 In March 2008, we obtained approximately a 75% equity interest in DDC. DDC was a newly formed company that was created to acquire the technology, assets and some of the operations of a developer and marketer of ultra-high speed storage systems for server networks and other applications.
  DDC is continuing development of its line of environmentally friendly DRAM based solid-state storage and I/O acceleration technology. The Jet.io RamFlash and DramJet Solid State Drives are built in a standard 3.5” drive format.  These drives are the core components for DDC high performance storage products. In January 2010, DDC launched its JetX10 acceleration appliance and its JetPod and JetNode expansion chassis which integrate the Jet.io Solid State Drives to deliver the highest performance and greatly reduces complexity, space requirements and power consumption in traditional storage solutions.  All DDC products are designed for enterprise and cloud computing environments which demand the highest performance, durability and lowest power consumption. See note 2 for further discussion.
  Other Business Activities
  Local Multipoint Distribution Service (LMDS) License
 We have an FCC commercial operating license which covers between 150 – 300 MHz of spectrum in the New York City area. The license has been renewed through February 1, 2016 conditioned upon demonstrating to the FCC by June 1, 2012 that we are providing “substantial service.” As of March 31, 2010 the Company had not demonstrated to the FCC that it was providing “substantial service”; however, the Company expects it will demonstrate to the FCC that it is providing this “substantial service” by June 1, 2012.
  Liquidity and Capital Resources
  We have recorded operating losses and negative operating cash flows since our inception and have limited revenues. At March 31, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $87.0 million. We do not expect to have earnings from operations or positive operating cash flow until such time as our strategic investments achieve successful implementation of their business plans and/or form alliances for the use of our capabilities in the future.
  We may not have funds sufficient to finance our operations and enable us to meet our financial obligations for the next twelve months. There can be no assurances that we will be able to consummate any capital raising transactions, particularly in view of current economic conditions. On January 27, 2010 the Company engaged Morgan Joseph & Company, Inc., a full service investment bank, to evaluate strategic alternatives available to maximize shareholder value with respect to its Zargis subsidiary. The inability to generate future cash flow or raise funds to finance our strategic investments could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our business objectives.
  These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
  If we are not able to reduce or defer our expenditures, secure additional sources of revenue or otherwise secure additional funding, we may be unable to continue as a going concern, and we may be forced to restructure or significantly curtail our operations, file for bankruptcy or cease operations. In addition, a bankruptcy filing by one or more of our strategic investments could cause us to lose our investment and/or control and could prevent us from sharing in any future success of those strategic investments. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the carrying amount of recorded assets or the amount of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  Should we be successful in securing the necessary capital to continue operations, it is likely that such arrangements would result in significant dilution to each shareholder’s ownership interest in the Company.

  Financial statements and principles of consolidation
 
 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Speedus and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
  Noncontrolling interests
 Companies in which Speedus directly or indirectly owns more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities or that Speedus has effective control over are accounted for under the consolidation method of accounting. Under this method, those companies’ balance sheets and results of operations, from the date Speedus acquired control, are included in Speedus’ consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” which established new standards governing the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries.  Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) be treated as a separate component of equity and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the noncontrolling interest even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance.  This standard also required changes to certain presentation and disclosure requirements. The provisions of the standard were applied to all noncontrolling interests prospectively.  The net loss attributed to the noncontrolling interests has been separately designated in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  Losses attributable to the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary may exceed the noncontrolling interests in the subsidiary’s equity.  The noncontrolling interest shall continue to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance.
  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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of operating revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions include the adequacy of the calculations related to stock based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, and other than temporary impairment of investments and certain accruals.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 The Company considers all highly liquid interest earning investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, cash equivalents consisted of money market funds.  At times the Company has cash and cash equivalents balances in excess of the FDIC and SIPC insured limits.
  Marketable Securities
 All marketable securities are defined as trading securities under the provisions of FASB ASC 320-10-05, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, marketable securities consisted of publicly traded equity securities which were recorded at the fair market value of approximately $4,000 and $5,000 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  Pursuant to FASB ASC 820-10-05 “Fair Value Measurements”, the fair value of our marketable securities are determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of closing prices quoted from established securities markets.Unrealized gains or losses are included in investment income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 Cash and cash equivalents, U.S. Treasury bills, accounts receivable, inventory, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments and the variability of the respective interest rates, where applicable.  Pursuant to FASB ASC 820-10-05 “Fair Value Measurements”, the fair value of our cash equivalents and U.S. Treasury bills are determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
  Accounts receivable
 Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice amount and are not interest bearing.  The Company reviews its accounts receivable aging quarterly, on a customer by customer basis, and records an allowance for bad debt at such time that a receivable is deemed to be likely uncollectable.
  Inventory
 Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis.
  Property and Equipment
 Property and equipment consists of office equipment which is recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years.  When assets are fully depreciated, it is the Company’s policy to remove the costs and related accumulated depreciation from its books and records.

 Revenue Recognition
 Zargis recognizes service revenue upon completion of services performed under contracts, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition". Zargis and DDC recognize product revenue upon the shipment of product and transfer of title to customers.
  Income Taxes
 As required by FASB ASC 740-10-05  “Accounting for Income Taxes,” the Company is required to provide for deferred tax assets or liabilities arising due to temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities.
  FASB ASC 740-10-05 prescribes a comprehensive model for the manner in which a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements all material uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return.  As of March 31, 2010, the only tax jurisdictions to which the Company is subject are the United States and several states where the Company operates. Open tax years relate to years in which unused net operating losses were generated. Thus, the Company’s open tax years extend back to 1996. In the event that the Company concludes that it is subject to interest and/or penalties arising from uncertain tax positions, the Company will present interest and penalties as a component of income taxes.  The Company has no unrecognized tax positions or any interest and penalties as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
  As of the date of this report the Company has not filed any income tax returns since 2005.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company estimates that it has a deferred tax asset of approximately $52 million, relating primarily to book operating losses. An offsetting valuation allowance of $52 million has been established as the Company has no ability to carryback its losses and a limited earnings history.
  At March 31, 2010, the Company estimates that it has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $111 million which expire between 2015 and 2030. Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, certain substantial changes in the Company’s stock ownership may result in a limitation on the amounts of net operating loss carryforwards which can be utilized in future years.  Furthermore, as the Company has not filed any income tax returns since 2005, it is possible that adjustments may ultimately be made that could significantly reduce the actual amount of available net operating loss carryforwards.
  Earnings Per Share
 Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share are determined in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10-05.   For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 outstanding stock options and warrants in the weighted average amounts of 541,000 and 619,000, respectively have been excluded from the diluted loss per share since their effect would be antidilutive as the Company has losses in each of these periods.
 
 Stock Options
 The Company accounts for stock options under FASB ASC 718-10-10, “Share-Based Payment”.  Under this method, the Company records compensation cost based upon the fair value of those awards on the grant date over the service period of each award on a straight line basis. Stock based compensation expense was approximately $65,000 and $44,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
  The Company accounts for restricted stock and stock options granted to non-employees on a fair value basis in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50-30, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.”  Any restricted stock or stock options issued to non-employees are recorded in the consolidated financial statements using the fair value method and then amortized to expense over the applicable service periods.
  The fair value of the awards on the grant date was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions utilized in the model for Speedus, Zargis, and DDC are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and experience. Expected volatility has been calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over the period commensurate with the expected term of the option. The expected term represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and is estimated based on historical option exercise experience. The risk-free interest rates are equivalent to the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for the estimated life of the option grant. Estimated forfeiture rates are based on historical experience. These assumptions were:

 On January 27, 2010 the Company engaged Morgan Joseph & Company, Inc., a full service investment bank, to evaluate strategic alternatives available to maximize shareholder value in its Zargis subsidiary.  In connection with this agreement Morgan Joseph & Company was paid an initial retainer of $25,000, which is fully creditable towards any future transaction fees, and was granted a five year warrant to purchase 8,681 shares of the Company common stock with an exercise price of $.01 per share. In connection with the grant of this warrant, stock based compensation of approximately $24,000 was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and is included in the $65,000 in total stock compensation referenced above.

 In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued its final Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168 – “The FASB Accounting Standards ASC Topic and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”.  (“SFAS No. 168”).  SFAS No. 168 made the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) the single source of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Policies (“U.S. GAAP”) used by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative accounting guidance for SEC registrants.  The ASC is meant to simplify user access to all authoritative accounting guidance by reorganizing U.S. GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics within a consistent structure; its purpose is not to create new accounting and reporting guidance.  The ASC supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards and was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009.  Following SFAS No. 168, the Board will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates.  The FASB will not consider Accounting Standards Updates as authoritative in their own right; these updates will serve only to update the ASC topic, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the ASC.

  2.   Acquisition
  On March 5, 2008, the Company acquired a 75% interest in Density Dynamics Corp., a newly formed company that was created to acquire the technology, assets and some of the operations of a developer and marketer of ultra-high speed storage systems for server networks and other applications. The acquisition price was $1,000,000.  In exchange, the Company received $1,000,000 of redeemable preferred stock from DDC, which has been eliminated in consolidation.  In connection with the acquisition, DDC issued $809,400 of redeemable preferred stock to the noncontrolling interest, $100,000 of which was redeemed at the time of closing. The redeemable preferred stock accrues dividends equal to 8% of the original purchase price of $10 per share (the “Original Purchase Price”). The holders of the redeemable preferred stock have not issued a call for redemption and no redeemable preferred stock was redeemed in the three months ended March 31, 2010 or as of the date of this report. On March 25, 2010, the holders of the redeemable preferred shares agreed to defer all obligations of DDC to redeem or make payments to the holders until April 1, 2011 and, to the extent that any redeemable preferred shares remain outstanding, the balance will be redeemable in 2013.  As a result of this agreement all of the redeemable preferred stock has been reflected as a non-current liability on the Company’s March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 consolidated balance sheets.   For the three months  ended March  31, 2010 and 2009, accrued dividends on this redeemable preferred stock of approximately $14,000  has been recorded as interest expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
  In July 2008, DDC sold 300,000 shares of its common stock for a price of $1 per share. 225,000 shares were sold to Speedus and 75,000 shares were sold to the noncontrolling interest of DDC. The investment by Speedus has been eliminated in consolidation. The investment by the noncontrolling interest has been reflected in additional paid-in-capital during the year ended December 31, 2008.  In connection with this sale of stock, DDC issued seven year warrants to purchase 56,250 and 18,750 shares of DDC common stock to Speedus and the noncontrolling interest, respectively, with an exercise price of $1 per share.
  In October 2008, DDC sold $500,000 in 8% convertible notes, in the amounts of $250,000 to each of the Company and the noncontrolling interest. In December 2008, DDC agreed to sell an additional $500,000 in 8% convertible notes, in the amounts of $250,000 to each of the Company and the noncontrolling interest. At December 31, 2008, $75,000 had been advanced by each of the Company and the noncontrolling interest. In 2009, the remaining balance of $175,000 was advanced by each of the Company and the noncontrolling interest. The holders of the notes have not issued a call for repayment of the loans and the loans were not repaid during the three months ended March 31, 2010 or as of the date of this report.  On March 25, 2010, the holders of the notes agreed to defer any and all obligations DDC has under the notes until April 1, 2011. As a result of this agreement the loans have been reflected as a non-current liability on the Company’s March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 consolidated balance sheets.   The loan by the Company has been eliminated in consolidation. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, accrued interest on these convertible notes to the noncontrolling interest of approximately $10,000 and $9,000 has been recorded as interest expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

  Business Activities
  Overview
 Speedus Corp. (“Speedus” or the “Company”) operates primarily through its two majority-owned subsidiaries Zargis Medical Corp. (“Zargis”) and Density Dynamics Corp. (“DDC”).
  In 2001 we co-invested with Siemens Corporate Research, Inc., a subsidiary of Siemens Corporation, in Zargis Medical Corp. to develop advanced diagnostic decision support products and services for primary care physicians, pediatricians, cardiologists and other healthcare professionals.  In March of 2008 we acquired a majority interest in Density Dynamics Corporation, a company breaking new ground in the development of DRAM based, energy efficient, sold-state drives (“SSD”) with I/O acceleration technology.  For additional information on each of these business segments and our other assets and operations, see the discussions below and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 3, Business Segment Information.
  Zargis
 Zargis is a medical device company focused on improving health outcomes and cost effectiveness through the development of computer-aided medical devices and telemedicine based delivery systems.   Zargis was formed in 2001 when we co-invested with Siemens Corporate Research, Inc., a subsidiary of Siemens Corporation.  As part of this transaction, Siemens contributed certain intellectual property including a core technology used in the Zargis CardioscanTM device (Cardioscan).
  Cardioscan is a non-invasive, diagnostic support solution that automatically analyzes acoustical data from a patient to determine whether or not the patient possesses a suspected diastolic or systolic murmur and whether or not they present a Class I indication for echocardiography referral.  Heart murmurs can be a sign of serious types of valvular or other heart disease.  Zargis’ patented technology utilizes advanced signal processing algorithms deployed on a standard pc computer platform.  Cardioscan received its initial FDA clearance in May 2004 and received its most recent clearance for Cardioscan in February, 2009.  Cardioscan is fully integrated with the Zargis TelemedTM portal is also cleared for marketing in Australia, Canada, India, Singapore, South Africa and 31 European states.
  In September of 2009, Zargis also announced FDA clearance to market its Signal X6TM device.  Signal X6 is noninvasive and simultaneously records heart and lung sounds from six adhesive acoustic sensors. The recordings can be evaluated locally or, for locations where a cardiac specialist is not immediately available for consultation, transmitted through the Internet for remote evaluation. The sensors are adhesive, rather than handheld, which may reduce motion noise and increases clarity when compared to handheld stethoscopes.  Zargis initially released Signal X6 in August 2009, when 510(k) clearance for the device was received.
  In addition to the development of Cardioscan, Signal X6 and Zargis Telemed, Zargis has been awarded several contracts by the U.S. Army, most recently in October of 2008, to develop prototype versions of telemedicine systems for use in cardiology. These systems record, synchronize and analyze heart sounds, lung sounds and ECG signals in pediatric patients who are being cared for by remote military treatment facilities. The systems have been fully integrated with an existing Army telehealth platform.
  Demand for medical systems designed to remotely project the expertise of cardiologists and other medical specialists is growing within both military and civilian environments worldwide and it is for this reason that Zargis has identified the field of telemedicine as a key focus area for product commercialization.
  12
 Index
  In February 2003, we acquired a controlling interest in Zargis of approximately 63%.  At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, as a result of continued investment, our primary equity ownership interest was approximately 90%.
  In October 2007, Zargis and the 3M Company entered into an exclusive multi-year marketing alliance involving Zargis’ heart sound analysis software and 3M Littmann’s next-generation electronic stethoscope. Under the agreement, Zargis supported 3M in its efforts to develop a next-generation stethoscope that is compatible with Zargis’ heart sound analysis software. In addition, the alliance provides Zargis with a wide-range of marketing and promotional opportunities along with exclusive rights to sell its heart sound analysis software through the global distribution network of the Littmann brand.  The agreement with 3M, based on the total number of Zargis fully diluted shares as of the agreement date, grants 3M a 5% equity position in Zargis following the first sale of Zargis’ software through the 3M distribution channel (which occurred in August of 2009) as an access and exclusivity fee and an additional 5% equity in Zargis in the event that other conditions are met.  The agreement also entitles 3M to a royalty payment based on sales of certain Zargis products and a seat on the Zargis Board of Directors.  The Company recorded revenues related to the sale of software through the 3M distribution channel of approximately $30,000 and recorded a royalty payment to 3M of approximately $7,000 in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
  Density Dynamics
 In March 2008, we obtained approximately a 75% equity interest in DDC. DDC was a newly formed company that was created to acquire the technology, assets and some of the operations of a developer and marketer of ultra-high speed storage systems for server networks and other applications.
  DDC is continuing development of its line of environmentally friendly DRAM based solid-state storage and I/O acceleration technology. The Jet.io RamFlash and DramJet Solid State Drives are built in a standard 3.5” drive format.  These drives are the core components for DDC high performance storage products. In January 2010, DDC launched its JetX10 acceleration appliance and its JetPod and JetNode expansion chassis which integrate the Jet.io Solid State Drives to deliver the highest performance and greatly reduces complexity, space requirements and power consumption in traditional storage solutions.  All DDC products are designed for enterprise and cloud computing environments which demand the highest performance, durability and lowest power consumption.
  Other Business Activities
  Local Multipoint Distribution Service (LMDS) License
 We have an FCC commercial operating license which covers between 150 – 300 MHz of spectrum in the New York City area. The license has been renewed through February 1, 2016 conditioned upon demonstrating to the FCC by June 1, 2012 that we are providing “substantial service.”  As of March 31, 2010 the Company had not demonstrated to the FCC that it was providing “substantial service”; however, the Company expects it will demonstrate   to the FCC that it is providing this “substantial service” by June 1, 2012.
  Other investments
 We have invested a portion of our assets in a portfolio of marketable securities consisting of publicly traded equity securities. We have in the past and may in the future sell publicly traded equity securities we do not own in anticipation of declines in the fair market values of these securities. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had not sold any securities that we did not own.
  Critical Accounting Policies
  General
 Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of those financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of operating revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For a description of all of our accounting policies, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in the 2009 Form 10-K. However, we believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
  Share-Based Payments
 The Company accounts for stock options under FASB ASC 718-10-10, “Share-Based Payment”.  Under this method, the Company records compensation cost based upon the fair value of those awards on the grant date over the service period of each award on a straight line basis.
  The Company accounts for restricted stock and stock options granted to non-employees on a fair value basis in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50-30, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.”  Any restricted stock or stock options issued to non-employees are recorded in the consolidated financial statements using the fair value method and then amortized to expense over the applicable service periods.
  13
 Index
  The fair value of the awards on the grant date is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions utilized in the model for Speedus, Zargis, and DDC are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and experience. Expected volatility has been calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over the period commensurate with the expected term of the option. The expected term represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and is estimated based on historical option exercise experience. The risk-free interest rates are equivalent to the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for the estimated life of the option grant. Estimated forfeiture rates are based on historical experience.
  Contingencies
 We account for contingencies in accordance with Statement of FASB ASC 450-10-05, “Accounting for Contingencies”.  This ASC requires that we record an estimated loss when information available prior to issuance of our financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accounting for contingencies such as environmental, legal and income tax matters requires us to use our judgment. While we believe that our accruals for these matters are adequate, if the actual loss is significantly different than the estimated loss, our results of operations will be affected in the period that the difference is known.
  Three Months Ended March 31. 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2009.
  Revenues increased approximately $88,000 from approximately $50,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to approximately $ 138,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  This increase was primarily the result of approximately $30,000 in revenue related to the 3M distribution agreement, approximately $6,000 related to contracted service revenue earned by Zargis, and approximately $52,000 from additional revenue in the Zargis segment.
  Cost of sales increased from approximately $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to approximately $13,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was primarily related to an increase of contracted labor and materials in the Zargis segment.
  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately 31% from approximately $993,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to approximately $681,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease of approximately $312,000 was primarily the result of cost cutting initiatives in staff and related expenses with reductions of approximately $299,000 in the DDC segment and approximately $34,000 in the corporate segment.  These reductions were offset by an increase in stock compensation of approximately $21,000.
  Research and development expenses decreased approximately 19% from approximately $535,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to approximately $431,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  This reduction of approximately $104,000 was primarily the result of cost cutting initiatives in staff and related expenses with reductions of approximately $49,000 in the Zargis segment and approximately $55,000 in the corporate segment
  Investment income decreased approximately $160,000 from approximately $159,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 to an investment loss of approximately $1,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010.  This decrease was primarily the result of a significant reduction in trading activity during the three months ended March 31, 2010.  Interest income decreased from approximately $9,000 in three months ended March 31, 2009 to approximately $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2010.  This reduction in interest income was primarily due to a reduction in the amount of capital available for investment purposes.  Other income was approximately $3,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  This decrease was related to the sale of a domain name during the three months ended March 31, 2009 that did not occur in the three months ended March 31, 2010.  Interest expense increased from approximately $23,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to approximately $24,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  This increase in interest expense was primarily due to dividends payable on redeemable preferred stock and interest payable on a convertible note to a minority owner of DDC. Investment and interest income amounts will fluctuate based upon changes in the market value of the underlying investments, overall market conditions and the amount of funds available for short-term investment and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods.

 Index
  Liquidity and Capital Resources
  We have recorded operating losses and negative operating cash flows since our inception and have limited revenues. At March 31, 2010 we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $87 million. We do not expect to have earnings from operations or positive operating cash flow until such time as our strategic investments achieve successful implementation of their business plans and/or form alliances for the use of our capabilities in the future.
  We may not have funds sufficient to finance our operations and enable us to meet our financial obligations for the next twelve months. There can be no assurances that we will be able to consummate any capital raising transactions, particularly in view of current economic conditions. On January 27, 2010 the Company engaged Morgan Joseph & Company, Inc., a full service investment bank, to evaluate strategic alternatives available to maximize shareholder value with respect to its Zargis subsidiary. The inability to generate future cash flow or raise funds to finance our strategic investments could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our business objectives.
  The report of our registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 contains an explanatory paragraph which states that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
  If we are not able to reduce or defer our expenditures, secure additional sources of revenue or otherwise secure additional funding, we may be unable to continue as a going concern, and we may be forced to restructure or significantly curtail our operations, file for bankruptcy or cease operations. In addition, a bankruptcy filing by one or more of our strategic investments could cause us to lose our investment and/or control and could prevent us from sharing in any future success of those strategic investments. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the carrying amount of recorded assets or the amount of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  Should we be successful in securing the necessary capital to continue operations, it is likely that such arrangements would result in significant dilution to each shareholder’s ownership interest in the Company.
  Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $863,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to approximately $1,299,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This reduction in net cash used in operating activities of approximately  $436,000 was primarily related to an improvement in net loss of approximately $320,000, an increase in non-cash operating expenses of  approximately $21,000,  and an increase in operating assets and liabilities of  approximately $95,000.
  Net cash provided by investing activities was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and $1,750,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase in net cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to the maturation of a U.S. Treasury bill of $1,750,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 that did not occur during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
  Net cash provided from financing activities was approximately $175,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and approximately $49,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This net decrease in cash provided by financing activities was a result of approximately $175,000 in proceeds received from convertible note financing by a minority investor in the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the proceeds from the exercise of stock options of approximately $49,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010.
  At March 31, 2010, the Company’s future minimum lease payments due under non-cancelable leases aggregated approximately $11,000 and are due during the year ending December 31, 2010.  In addition, in connection with a license agreement to which the Company is a party, a termination payment will be payable by the Company in the amount of $200,000 if the license agreement is terminated by the Company before September 1, 2011.
  On January 27, 2010 the Company engaged Morgan Joseph & Company, Inc., a full service investment bank, to evaluate strategic alternatives available to maximize shareholder value in its Zargis subsidiary.  In connection with this agreement Morgan Joseph & Company was paid an initial retainer of $25,000, which is fully creditable towards any future transaction fees, and was granted a five year warrant to purchase 8,681 shares of the Company common stock with an exercise price of $.01 per share.

  ITEM3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
  The Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2010 consist primarily of cash equivalents which are invested primarily in money market accounts, and marketable securities.
  The Company has in the past and may in the future sell publicly traded equity securities it does not own in anticipation of declines in the fair market values of the securities. When the Company effects such transactions, it must borrow the securities it sold in order to deliver them and settle the trades. These amounts are shown on the balance sheet as ‘Securities sold and not purchased’ and represent the value of these securities at fair market value. The Company’s potential for loss on these transactions is unlimited since the value of the underlying security can keep increasing which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 we had not sold any securities that we did not own.
  ITEM 4
(“CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES”)
 
 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
 The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rules l3a-15e and l5d-I5e promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such Disclosure Controls and Procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2010. This conclusion was reached because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and the fact that the Company did not have sufficient time or management resources available to adequately test its control procedures. Such controls and procedures are designed to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and that all such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.
 
 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
 Management continues to review and evaluate our internal controls procedures and the design of those procedures relating to financial reporting processes in light of the material weaknesses in those areas that were disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Although we can make no assurances, we believe that the remediation efforts that are being implemented will improve our internal controls over financial reporting, and our disclosure controls and procedures, and we will continue to work to fully implement these changes through the end of fiscal year 2010.  Management will continue to monitor the remediation plan and implementation efforts.
 
 There were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
