PART
I





Item
1.  Business





Overview





CyberDefender
Corporation is a provider of Internet security software and services to the
consumer and small business market.





The
volume of online threats has continued to rise over the last several years due
in part to the personal computer becoming a major source for communication,
entertainment and e-commerce for many consumers.  Additionally, the
increase in the use of mobile devices such as laptop computers, cell phones and
“smart phones” with email and web access capabilities and the increase in
popularity of online social networking sites have put a larger percentage of the
population at risk for cyber-attacks. Consequently, online security has emerged
as a major concern for all users of devices that are capable of accessing the
Internet.





Our goal
is to be a leading provider of advanced solutions to protect consumers and small
businesses against threats such as identity theft, Internet viruses and spyware
and to provide remote technical resolution services to those who use our
products.








We were
incorporated as Network Dynamics in California on August 29, 2003, and changed
our name to CyberDefender Corporation (“the Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” in
this report) on October 21, 2005.    Individuals and small
businesses that use personal computers make up our subscriber base, therefore we
are not dependent on any single customer or on a few major
customers.  While our products are available for downloading from our
website, which makes them available to anyone in the world, we do not have a
significant customer base outside of the United States.





Business
Developments and Highlights





During
2009 we took the following actions, among others, to enhance our
business:





·
            We
      formed a strategic relationship with GR Match, LLC (“GRM”), a subsidiary
      of Guthy-Renker LLC, one of the world's largest direct
      response marketing companies. This partnership has enabled us to add
      new marketing channels for our products. GRM provides direct response
      media campaigns for our products, including radio and television direct
      response commercials, and purchases media time on our behalf, subject to
      the terms and conditions defined in the Media Marketing and Services
      Agreement dated March 24, 2009.





·
            We
      formed a strategic relationship with Wiley Publishing, Inc., owner of the
      For
      Dummies® trademark, for use of the For
      Dummies® trademark in connection with the development, sale,
      distribution and promotion of a new line of
  products.





·
            We
      formed a strategic relationship with Microsoft to distribute the Bing
      toolbar through our products.





·
            We
      added key members to our management team, namely, Kevin Harris as Chief
      Financial Officer and Steve Okun as Chief Revenue
  Officer.





·
            We
      improved our call center infrastructure by adding a global IVR system and
      increased total agents by over
250%.










Business
Model





Our
business is focused on two areas; computer security software and remote PC
repair services.





Firewall
and AntiVirus software currently accounts for a majority of the Security
Software and Services (“SSS”) market. However, the increasing need to counter
“zero-day” attacks, that is, viruses or other exploits that take advantage of a
newly discovered vulnerability in a program or operating system before the
software developer becomes aware of the vulnerability or fixes it, along with
the increasing popularity of “defense-in-depth” strategies, wherein coordinated
uses of multiple security countermeasures are used to protect the integrity of
information assets, will bring unified threat management solutions to the
forefront.





Five
specific product areas comprise SSS:





AntiVirus/AntiSpyware:This
software identifies and/or eliminates harmful software by scanning hard drives,
email attachments, disks, Web pages and other types of electronic traffic for
any known or potential viruses, malicious code, trojans or spyware.





Identity Protection
services:These are services oriented around credit monitoring
and identity protection insurance or guarantees.





Remote PC Repair:These
services are designed to repair users PCs via remote access. These services
incorporate manual malware removal, system restore and PC
optimization.





Online
Backup:  These are services which protect users’ data from
corruption, theft and loss.  Online backup allows for quick recovery
and remediation.





PC Optimization Software:
These products are designed to improve the speed of a PC by eliminating unwanted
files, improving memory, and reducing CPU load.





SSS
Growth Drivers





Viruses, spyware and social engineering
attacks are serious threats facing businesses and consumers today. These threats
can be used to steal personal information, enable identity theft, damage or
destroy information stored on a computer and cause damage to legitimate
software, network performance and productivity.  These types of
malicious programs are introduced to computers in a number of ways, including,
but not limited to:





·
            poor
      browser security as most browsers today are full of security holes that
      are exploited by hackers and
criminals;





·
            growing
      use of the Internet and e-mail as a business tool and preferred
      communication channel;





·
            increased
      use of mobile devices to access key
data;





·
            continued
      rapid increases in spam as the majority of spam sent today originates from
      zombie machines remotely controlled by
spammers;





·
            explosive
      growth in spyware causing theft of confidential information, loss of
      employee productivity, consumption of large amounts of bandwidth, damage
      to desktops and a spike in help desk calls;
and





·
            flaws
      in operating systems that contribute to the wide range of current Internet
      security threats, particularly if users do not update their computers with
      patches.





2




As a
result of the foregoing factors, the SSS market has developed and continues to
expand in order to respond to the ever-evolving threats presented by malicious
programs.





Current
Product Limitations





SSS
software vendors have attempted to solve Internet security problems with a
variety of software applications.  Many vendors rely heavily on the
end user to properly install and configure their own security
software.  In addition, many vendors fail to advocate optimal security
software installation because they do not offer customers proper live support
access.  Although many products exist today to address such security
issues, these solutions face many limitations, including the
following:





No Real-Time Security - Most
antivirus and antispyware software applications do not protect personal
computers against real-time threats.  If new viruses or spyware exist
on the Internet but do not reside in risk definition databases, most personal
computers exposed to the threat will be infected.  Typical virus
protection software requires frequent downloads and updates to work
properly.  If a user does not download a patch timely, the user’s
system may no longer be safe.  By the time a new virus is announced,
it may already be too late to take action, and an infection may have
occurred.  Also, new patches may take hours to install, decreasing
work productivity.





Inability to CatchallViruses and Malicious Content
– Current threat analysis systems are not capable of detecting all malicious
codes.  With current security networks, software alone cannot detect
unknown attacks – human involvement is required.  Not only are threats
not detected, but threats that are detected are resolved untimely due to
intermittent update systems delaying user alerts.





Use of Social Engineering –
The increased use of social engineering attacks by cyber criminals has created a
new level of problems for consumers and businesses. Even having adequate
security software will not necessarily prevent the attack from
happening.   Most security software does not address this
problem.





No Consumer Education – Most
security software vendors rely on consumers to install and configure their
personal online security.  This has led to incorrect security
settings, lack of manual updating and an overall disconnect between the user and
security software.  In addition, consumers are constantly faced with
configuration issues which arise as a result of the installation of 3rd party
devices and software, which further complicate security.  In order for
security to work properly, users must have their systems properly repaired and
optimized by trained technicians before security software can be installed and
made effective.  This requires education and a change in consumer
behavior.





Costly Updating - Most
antispyware and antivirus software providers use a client-server network
infrastructure to distribute new spyware and virus definitions.  Such
solutions are expensive to maintain as they rely on intensive data centers and
networks to deliver updates, thereby using a significant amount of bandwidth,
which is expensive to obtain.  Also, vendors cannot afford to send
threat updates continuously and therefore are slow to distribute
them.  In fact, many software vendors provide updates on a scheduled
basis, rather than as the updates are needed.  This may leave the PC
vulnerable since threats propagate without a schedule, and therefore a PC which
was updated on Monday may be effectively infected on Tuesday. “Freeware” or free
antivirus and antispyware software downloads offer minimal updates, leaving the
user with a false sense of security.





Every
consumer or business using any networked device needs to have some form of
Internet security. Many PC owners have two to three forms of security software
on their PCs in order to maximize protection against most threats. We provide
consumers and small business users with a platform of products and services
designed to protect against various types of security attacks.




3





Our
business and technology model is based on incorporating security software with
remote PC repair services.  CyberDefender believes that most consumers
cannot install and configure their security software to work properly and
usually require the help of a professional to achieve the optimal security
setting.





CyberDefender
Technology





Conventional
Internet security companies use a cumbersome manual process to identify new
threats, analyze threats in labs, and distribute threat updates to their user
base.  These security companies have to broadcast updates to each
personal computer user individually in the network.  Serious drawbacks
to conventional broadcast updates exist, including the following:





·
            Due
      to the expense related to this process; the network cannot be updated in
      real-time, and instead is updated in batches which are often spaced days
      apart;





·
            Because
      broadcasting servers are a single point of distribution, they are
      vulnerable to “flooding” attacks that prevent clients from getting the
      needed updates; and





·
            A
      threat may block a client computer’s access to the broadcast server,
      disabling its ability to download an update for the
  threat.





We
believe that we have addressed these shortcomings by developing the
earlyNETWORK, our proprietary collaborative Internet security network, to
detect, analyze and quarantine new security threats. We believe the earlyNETWORK
provides a unique approach to updating personal computer security.  We
have developed the earlyNETWORK based on certain technology principles commonly
found in a peer-to-peer network infrastructure.  A peer-to-peer
network does not have the notion of clients or servers, but only equal peer
nodes that simultaneously function as both “clients” and “servers” to the other
nodes on the network.  Therefore, as system demands increase, so does
the system’s capacity.  The peer-to-peer network infrastructure allows
us to provide a fluid, distributed system for alerts and updates, and to
incorporate a universal threat definition system.





However,
the earlyNETWORK is not a conventional peer-to-peer network because the
CyberDefender Alert Server is a required checkpoint for all client activities,
thus assuring the integrity of the network.  The earlyNETWORK is a
controlled publishing network that leverages the power of distributed bandwidth
to automatically defend against a wide spectrum of software attacks and provides
users with proprietary automated processes that rapidly identify and quarantine
both known and emerging threats.  Each client has a controlled role in
relaying the threat updates to as many as 20 clients, thus allowing continuous
release of threat updates. As additional users are added our collaborative
security network works better.  With more clients, threats are picked
up faster and updates occur faster as well, because users of our software find
peers more easily than they could an update server. Our earlyNETWORK is designed
to reduce the lag time between the identification of a new security threat by
our Early Alert Center and notification to the personal computers that are part
of the earlyNETWORK. Users of our software who cannot connect with other users
will always be able to fall back on the Alert Server which is the central source
for threat analysis and notification.





Our
earlyNETWORK works as follows. Customers become a part of the earlyNETWORK by
downloading and installing one of our internet security products (i.e.
CyberDefender Early Detection Center V2.0 or, when it was offered, CyberDefender
FREE V2.0), discussed below. Unusual behavior is detected by a personal computer
that is part of our earlyNETWORK.  The potential threat may be
anything from spam to a virus.  The program puts the potential threat
on standby, and reports it to our Alert Server.  The Alert Server
compares the threat to existing threat definitions.  If the Alert
Server does not recognize the threat, the threat is sent to AppHunter for
analysis.





AppHunter
is an automated system that manages the threat analysis
process.  First, AppHunter tests the undefined threat on an isolated
computer that is automatically wiped clean after each test.  Based on
the behavior of the test computer, AppHunter ranks the threat on a scale from
one to ten.  Rankings of five and above are classified as infectious
(viruses). Additionally, AppHunter carries out a confidential set of proprietary
verifications to ensure that the threat itself is not an attempt to deceive or
hack the network.




4





As there
is a wide set of possible attacks that do not qualify as viruses, AppHunter is
supplemented by a team of human technicians who classify threats that rank below
5 in severity.  Threat definitions are added as quickly as possible to
our definition database, which is then updated to our users via our
earlyNETWORK.  We continually make changes to our technology to make
sure that we address as many security concerns as possible.





Using our
peer-to-peer technology, Alert Server notifies users of our software of the
threat who, in turn, notify up to 20 other users (or “peers”) in an
ever-widening circle.  This distributed notification process frees up
the Alert Server to deal with incoming alerts from clients that have encountered
unexpected behavior, and makes the network truly responsive and “in tune” with
its users.





This
approach is different and, we believe, significantly faster and cheaper than
traditional Internet security companies that provide manual, broadcast-updated
threat management systems. The nature of traditional Internet security
companies, which assume a single point of threat capture, a cumbersome threat
analysis system and an intermittent scheduled update system, creates a “coverage
gap” which can delay alerts on important new infectious attacks for 12 hours or
more.  However, our proprietary technology quickly distributes threat
updates to all computers that are part of the earlyNETWORK.  For
example, our system for generating threat reports, the Early Alert Center, first
reported the Sasser.E virus at 11:52 p.m. on May 7, 2004.  This was
one to two days before other security software vendors announced their
discoveries of the same virus.  We believe that our update process
occurs substantially faster than that of any competitive system and that we are
the first to provide threat updates in this manner.





Additionally,
because the cost of updating our software via the earlyNETWORK is minimal, Alert
Server can send out updates as fast as threats are confirmed, which we believe
results in superior security coverage.  In general, from the time the
first client has picked up the new threat to the updating of the network, about
an hour passes. The network responds quickly to new threats because it enlists
all the machines in the earlyNETWORK to act as listening posts for new
threats.  As the network grows, updates will grow closer and closer to
real time.  Our solution works well with existing security software
and can operate as an additional layer of security on a personal
computer.

Growth
Strategy





Our
strategy is to continue to grow our business by increasing our customer base,
continually offering new products and services, scaling our current marketing
channels, adding new marketing channels and forming new strategic
alliances.




As a
majority of our products and services are offered on a subscription basis, it is
important for the growth of our business that customers renew their
subscriptions year after year.  Historically, we have seen positive
renewal numbers and we continue to work on improving the overall renewal rates
through several initiatives, most notably partnering with Vindicia, a leading
provider of on-demand billing solutions for online merchants.





In 2009,
we added new marketing channels, which helped to establish our brands and drive
new business.  We plan to scale those channels in the coming
years.  First, we started marketing our products and services under
the brands DoubleMySpeed, MyCleanPC, and MaxMySpeed, via direct response
commercials on radio and television through our strategic partnership with GRM.
Second, we launched the sale of our products in some initial retail locations
via our strategic alliance with Allianex Corporation, which will eventually give
us an opportunity to sell our products through over 195,000 retail locations
worldwide.





Our
strategic alliance with Wiley Publishing, Inc., owner of the For
Dummies® trademark, allows us to launch a new line of products and
services under an established brand name. This license is an exclusive license
in North America to brand Internet security products under the For
Dummies® brand.





Our
continued investment in our call center infrastructure will allow us to provide
the services that should result in increases in revenues and average revenues
per user and increased endpoint security to our customers.





Customers





Our
primary customers are consumers and small business who use personal computers
that use the Windows operating systems.  Our customers reside
primarily in the United States.  The number of our customers
fluctuates due to the fact that, while we gain new customers on a daily basis,
existing customers can cancel or may not renew their subscriptions.





Marketing





We sell
our products directly to computer users through online marketing,
direct-response marketing and retailers.  Our marketing campaigns are
designed to drive new customers to our e-commerce web sites where they purchase
our products and services.  Additionally, our sales staff and
outsourced sales team are trained on our cross-selling and up-selling
initiatives.





Competition





Internet
security markets are competitive and subject to continuous technological
innovation.  Our competitiveness depends on our ability to offer
products that meet customers’ needs on a timely basis.  The principal
competitive factors of our products are time to market, quality, price,
reputation, terms of sales, customer support and breadth of product
line.





Some of
our competitors include Webroot Software, Sunbelt Software, Kaspersky Labs,
McAfee, Symantec, TrendMicro and Computer Associates.  In addition, we
may face potential competition from operating system providers and network
equipment and computer hardware manufacturers.  These competitors may
provide various security solutions in their current and future products and may
limit our ability to penetrate these markets.  These competitors have
significant advantages due to their ability to influence and control computing
platforms and security layers in which our products operate.  At this
time, we do not represent a competitive presence in the SSS
industry.

Intellectual
Property





Our
software is proprietary and we make every attempt to protect our software
technology by relying on a combination of copyright, patent, trade secret and
trademark laws and restrictions on disclosure.





On
September 22, 2005 we filed two international patent applications with the U.S.
Receiving Office under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). The application
titles and serial numbers are "Threat Protection Network", Application No.
US2005/034205 and "System for Distributing Information Using a Secure Peer to
Peer Network", Application No. US2005/034069. PCT Application No.
US2005/034069 was intentionally abandoned. On April 23, 2007, we filed
a national stage application for PCT Application No. US2005/034205 in the
European Patent Office (EPO). The EPO Application No. is
05821356.2.





On June
29, 2009, we submitted a provisional application to the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office entitled, "System and Method for Operating an Anti-Malware
Network on a Cloud Computing Platform", Provisional Application No.
61/221,477.





Our name,
CyberDefender, is a registered trademark.





We also
license intellectual property from third parties for use in our products and, in
the future, we may license our technology to third parties.  We face a
number of risks relating to intellectual property, including unauthorized use
and copying of our software solutions.  Litigation may be necessary to
enforce our intellectual property rights or to protect trade secrets or
trademarks rights.





Employees





We
currently employ 181 full time employees and 4 independent
contractors.  Our employees are segmented by the following functions:
corporate, development, engineering, information technology, marketing, customer
service, support services, sales and finance and accounting.





Government
Regulation and Probability of Affecting Business





The
development of our products is generally not subject to government
regulation.  However, laws and regulations that apply to Internet
communications, commerce and advertising are becoming more
prevalent.  These regulations could affect the costs of communicating
on the Internet and adversely affect the demand for our products or otherwise
harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.  The
United States Congress has enacted Internet legislation regarding children’s
privacy, copyrights, sending of unsolicited commercial email and
spyware.  Other laws and regulations, including laws or regulations
that could attempt to tax Internet commerce transactions, may be adopted in the
future.  This legislation could hinder growth in the use of the
Internet generally and decrease the acceptance of the Internet as a
communications, commercial and advertising medium.





In
addition, the growth and development of the market for Internet commerce may
prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws, such as laws against
identity theft, which may impose additional burdens on companies conducting
business over the Internet.





While
none of the current laws governing Internet commerce has imposed significant
burdens on us to date, in the future our business, results of operations and
financial condition could be materially and adversely affected by the adoption
or modification of laws or regulations relating to the Internet, or the
application of existing laws to the Internet or Internet-based
advertising.

Item
1A.  Risk Factors




Our
operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties
that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our common
stock.  Discussion about important operational risks that our business
encounters can be found in Item 1 and in Item 7 of this report, as well as in
the discussion below.





Risks
Related to Our Business





We
have been in business only since August 2003.  Our limited operating
history makes evaluation of our business difficult.





We were
incorporated in the State of California as Network Dynamics in August 2003 and
have limited historical financial data upon which to base planned operating
expenses or to accurately forecast our future operating results.  We
have a limited operating history which makes it difficult to evaluate our
performance.  You must consider our prospects in light of the risks,
expenses and difficulties we face as an early stage company with a limited
operating history.  These risks include uncertainty as to whether we
will be able to:





·
            increase
      revenues from sales of our suite of Internet security products and support
      services;





·
            successfully
      protect our Collaborative Internet Security Network from all security
      attacks;





·
            successfully
      protect personal computers or networks against all Internet
      threats;





·
            respond
      effectively to competitive
pressures;





·
            protect
      our intellectual property rights;





·
            continue
      to develop and upgrade our technology;
and





·
            continue
      to renew our customers’ subscriptions to current and future products and
      services.





We
incurred net losses for our last four fiscal years.  We are not
certain that our operations will ever be profitable.





We
incurred a net loss of $5,507,600 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, a
net loss of $5,866,123 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, a net loss
of $11,251,772 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and a net loss of
$13,703,131 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.  We can
provide no assurance as to when, or if, we will be profitable in the
future.  Even if we achieve profitability, we may not be able to
sustain it.





Regulations under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 require public companies to maintain
“disclosure controls and procedures.” Our disclosure controls and procedures are
not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to a significant deficiency.
Additionally, we have been unable to maintain effective internal controls over
our financial reporting in accordance with section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002 due to a material weakness.  This could have a material
adverse effect on our business and stock price.





Included
in this Annual Report are reports on our disclosure controls and procedures and
on our internal control over financial reporting.  As a result of
deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures and in our internal
control over financial reporting, we concluded that neither was effective as of
December 31, 2009. In order to remedy these deficiencies we must appoint
independent directors and engage in specific compliance training of our
directors, officers and employees. We should also modify our existing accounting
systems (such as by recruiting and hiring additional employees to assist with
accounting functions, purchasing and installing special software and training
employees in the use of it, paying for the costs of continuing education for our
employees involved with accounting functions, etc.), which will entail
substantial costs and take a significant period of time to
complete.  We anticipate the costs of implementing these remediation
initiatives will be approximately $100,000 to $125,000 per year in increased
salaries and $50,000 to $100,000 per year in increased legal and accounting
expenses.




10





Failure
to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could have a
material adverse effect on our stock price and could result in our financial
statements being unreliable or loss of investor confidence in our financial
reports.  Additionally, failure to maintain effective internal control
over our financial reporting could result in government investigation or
sanctions by regulatory authorities.





We
sell our products over the Internet, however such activities may not be secure.
If a breach of security occurred, our reputation could be damaged and our
business and results of operations could be adversely affected.





A
significant barrier to online commerce and communications is the secure
transmission of confidential information over public networks.  Our
customers authorize us to bill their credit card accounts directly for the
purchase price of our products.  We rely on encryption and
authentication technology licensed from third parties to provide the security
and authentication technology to effect secure transmission of confidential
information, including customer credit card numbers.  There can be no
assurance that advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field
of cryptography, or other events or developments will not result in a compromise
or breach of the technology used by us to protect customer transaction
data.  If any such compromise of our security were to occur, it could
have a material adverse affect on our reputation and, therefore, on our business
and results of operations.





During
the past year our business has grown rapidly. If we do not manage this growth
carefully, our business and results of operations could be adversely
affected.





Since
January 1, 2009, our business has grown rapidly.  Our sales increased
285% for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the year ended December
31, 2008.  Also, the number of full-time employees and consultants we
employ grew from 22 full-time employees and 2 independent contractors as of
December 31, 2008 to 69 full-time employees and 50 independent contractors as of
December 31, 2009.  Growth of our business at this pace places a
strain on our management and resources and has required, and may continue to
require, the implementation of new operating systems, procedures and controls
and the expansion of our facilities.  Our failure to manage our growth
and expansion could adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition.  Failure to implement new systems effectively or
within a reasonable period of time could adversely affect our business and
results of operations.





We
have made a significant investment in personnel and overhead in anticipation
that our growth will continue. If the projections about our growth are
mistaken, our operating results could be adversely affected.





During
the past two years we have experienced significant growth and we believe that
our growth will continue for the immediate future.  For
that reason we have made significant investments in personnel and
overhead.  If our growth does not continue, our operating expenses may
exceed our revenue, significantly affecting our ability to continue
operating.  Although we may be able to eliminate or reduce some of the
expenses through a reduction in workforce or a reduction in costs, some costs
such as rent could not be easily reduced. As a result, our operating results
could be adversely affected.




11





Our
Media and Marketing Services Agreement with GRM could be terminated. The
termination of this agreement could adversely affect our operating
results.




Pursuant
to the terms of the Media and Marketing Services Agreement we entered into with
GRM, GRM may terminate the agreement if there is a breach or default in
performance of any obligation, unless the breach or default is cured within 15
business days following receipt of written notice from the non-breaching party;
upon the discontinuance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the other
party’s business or the insolvency of the other party; or by either party for
any reason by giving the other party written notice of the termination at least
30 days prior to the effective date of termination. Additionally, after May
30, 2009, GRM is entitled to terminate the agreement upon 5 days written notice
to us in the event that the average media placement costs for any 3 consecutive
months during the term are less than $250,000 per month.  If we earn
significant revenues from our agreement with GRM, but GRM decides to terminate
the agreement, our operating results could be adversely affected.





We
market our products and services through search engines (for example, Google and
Yahoo!), e-mail and display advertising, affiliate marketing and direct response
television and radio commercials. If we fail to market our products effectively,
our sales could decline and our results of operations would be adversely
affected.





We market
our products and related services over the Internet, primarily through space
purchased from Internet-based marketers and search engines, and via direct
response television and radio commercials.  During 2009, we spent
approximately 75% of our advertising budget on Internet
advertising.  We cannot assure you that our advertising will perform
as we anticipate or that our advertising costs will not increase significantly.
If either of these events were to occur, it would have a material, adverse
effect on our results of operations.





We
face intense competition from other providers of Internet security
software.  If we cannot offer consumers a reason to use our software
instead of the software marketed by our competitors, our business and the
results of our operations will be adversely affected.





We have
many competitors in the markets for our products.  Our competitors
include software companies that offer products that directly compete with our
products or that bundle their software products with Internet security software
offered by another company.  End-user customers may prefer purchasing
Internet security software that is manufactured by the same company that
provides its other software programs because of greater product breadth offered
by the company, perceived advantages in price, technical support, compatibility
or other issues.





Some of
our competitors include WebRoot Software, Kaspersky Labs and Sunbelt
Software.  Many of our competitors, such as TrendMicro, McAfee and
Symantec and Computer Associates have greater brand name recognition and
financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources than we do and
consequently may have an ability to influence customers to purchase their
products rather than ours.  Our future and existing competitors could
introduce products with superior features, scalability and functionality at
lower prices than our products and could also bundle existing or new products
with other more established products in order to compete with us.  Our
competitors could also gain market share by acquiring or forming strategic
alliances with our other competitors.  Finally, because new
distribution methods offered by the Internet and electronic commerce have
removed many of the barriers to entry historically faced by start-up companies
in the software industry, we may face additional sources of competition in the
future.





12




If
we are unable to develop and maintain new and enhanced Internet security or
identity protection products and support services to meet emerging industry
standards, our operating results could be adversely affected.





Our
future success depends on our ability to address the rapidly changing needs of
our customers by developing, acquiring and introducing new products, product
updates and services on a timely basis. The success of our business depends on
our ability to keep pace with technological developments and emerging industry
standards.  We intend to commit a portion of our resources to
developing new applications for threat research and new security applications
for Web 2.0 and social networking environments.  However, if we are
unable to successfully develop such products or if we develop these products but
demand for them does not materialize or occurs more slowly than we expect, we
will have expended resources (such as personnel and equipment) and capital
without realizing sufficient revenue to recover these costs, and our operating
results could be adversely affected.





If
we fail to adapt our technologies to new Internet technologies, we could lose
customers and key technology partners.  This would have a material
adverse effect on our revenues, our business and the results of our
operations.





Internet
technology is constantly evolving to make the user's experience easier and more
comprehensive.  Our products use Internet technologies.  We
must constantly monitor new technologies and adapt our technologies to them as
appropriate.  If we fail to keep our products compatible with the
latest Internet technologies, they may not perform adequately and we may lose
not only our customers, but those suppliers and partners whose Internet
technologies support our products.  The loss of our customers or our
suppliers and partners would have a material adverse effect on our revenues, our
business and the results of our operations.





Because
of the constant development of new or improved products in the software
industry, we must continually update our products or create new products to keep
pace with the latest advances. While we do our best to test these products prior
to their release, they may nevertheless contain significant errors and failures,
which could adversely affect our operating results.





With the
introduction of Windows 7, the most recent operating system from Microsoft, and
constant changes in the software industry as new standards and processes emerge,
we are required to continually update our suite of Internet security products.
While we do our best to test these products prior to their release, due to the
speed with which we are required to release new or updated products to remain
competitive, they could be released with errors or they may fail altogether.
These errors or failures may put the users of our software at risk because their
computers will not be adequately protected against spyware, viruses, spam or
phishing attacks. We try to reduce this risk by constantly upgrading our
software and by working closely with the creators of the operating platforms,
particularly Microsoft, to make sure that our software works with the operating
platform. However, if our existing suite of Internet security products and our
future products fail to perform adequately or fail entirely, our operating
results could be adversely affected.




Our
ability to effectively recruit and retain qualified officers and directors could
be adversely affected if we experience difficulty in maintaining directors' and
officers' liability insurance.




We may be
unable to maintain insurance as a public company on terms affordable to us to
cover liability for claims made against our officers and directors. If we are
unable to adequately insure our officers and directors, we may not be able to
retain or recruit qualified officers and directors to manage our
business.





13





Loss
of any of our key management personnel, particularly our CEO, could negatively
impact our business and the value of our common stock.





Our
ability to execute our business strategy will depend on the skills, experience
and performance of key members of our management team. We depend heavily on the
services of Gary Guseinov, our Chief Executive Officer, Igor Barash, our Chief
Product Officer and Secretary, Kevin Harris, our Chief Financial Officer, and
Steve Okun, our Chief Revenue Officer. We believe that the skills of Mr.
Guseinov would be particularly difficult to replace. We have long-term
employment agreements with Mr. Guseinov and Mr. Harris. We have entered into an
employment agreement with Mr. Barash, but it is “at-will” and does not preclude
him from leaving us. While Mr. Barash and Mr. Okun continue to provide services
to us, we have no guarantee that they will continue to do so for any particular
period of time.





If we
lose members of our key management personnel, we may be forced to expend
significant time and money in the pursuit of replacements, which could result in
both a delay in the expansion of our business and the diversion of limited
working capital. We cannot assure you that we will find satisfactory
replacements for these key management personnel at all, or on terms that are not
unduly expensive or burdensome to our company. We do not maintain key man
insurance policies on any of our key officers or employees.





To
date, our business has been developed assuming that laws and regulations that
apply to Internet communications and e-commerce will remain
minimal.  Changes in government regulation and industry standards may
adversely affect our business and operating results.





We have
developed our business assuming that the current state of the laws and
regulations that apply to Internet communications, e-commerce and advertising
will remain minimal.  At this time, complying with these laws and
regulations is not burdensome.  However, as time exposes various
problems created by Internet communications and e-commerce, laws and regulations
may become more prevalent.  These regulations may address issues such
as user privacy, spyware, pricing, intellectual property ownership and
infringement, taxation, and quality of products and services.  This
legislation could hinder growth in the use of the Internet generally and
decrease the acceptance of the Internet as a communications, commercial and
advertising medium.  Changes in current regulations or the addition of
new regulations could affect the costs of communicating on the Internet and
adversely affect the demand for our products or otherwise harm our business,
results of operations and financial condition.




A large portion
of our business is the development and distribution of
software.  If we do not
protect our proprietary information and prevent third parties from unauthorized
use of our technology, our business could be harmed.





We rely
on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws,
confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions and other measures to protect
our proprietary information, especially our software codes.  All of
these measures afford only limited protection.  These measures may be
invalidated, circumvented or challenged, and others may develop technologies or
processes that are similar or superior to our technology.  We may not
have the proprietary information controls and procedures in place that we need
to protect our proprietary information adequately.  Despite our
efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to
copy our software or obtain or use information that we regard as proprietary,
which could harm our business.




Third
parties claiming that we infringe their proprietary rights could cause us to
incur significant legal expenses and prevent us from selling our
products.





As the
number of products in the software industry increases and the functionality of
these products further overlap, we believe that we may become increasingly
subject to infringement claims, which could include patent, copyright and
trademark infringement claims.  In addition, former employers of our
former, current or future employees may assert claims that such employees have
improperly disclosed to us the confidential or proprietary information of these
former employers.  Any such claim, with or without merit,
could:




14





·
            be
      time consuming to defend;





·
            result
      in costly litigation;





·
            divert
      management’s attention from our core
business;





·
            require
      us to stop selling, delay providing or redesign our product;
      and





·
            require
      us to pay monetary amounts as damages or for royalty or licensing
      arrangements.





Risks
Related to Ownership of Our Securities




Our common stock began to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board on
August 2, 2007.  We cannot assure you that an active public trading
market for our common stock will develop or be sustained.  Even if an
active market develops, it may not be possible to sell shares of our common
stock in a timely manner.




While our
common stock began to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board on August 2, 2007, to
date an active trading market has not developed and we cannot guarantee you that
an active trading market will ever develop.  This situation may be
attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small
company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers,
institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or
influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such
persons, they tend to be risk averse and may be reluctant to follow a relatively
unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our
shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable.  As a
consequence, even though our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board,
there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares
is minimal or nonexistent, as compared to a seasoned issuer that has a large and
steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales
without an adverse effect on share price.  Because an active trading
market may not develop, it may not be possible to sell shares of our common
stock in a timely manner.




Our
common stock is considered a “penny stock”.  The application of the
“penny stock” rules to our common stock could limit the trading and liquidity of
the common stock, adversely affect the market price of our common stock and
increase transaction costs to sell those shares.




Our
common stock is a “low-priced” security or “penny stock” under rules promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  In accordance with these
rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in low-priced securities
must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes the risks
associated with such stocks, the broker-dealer’s duties in selling the stock,
the customer’s rights and remedies and certain market and other
information.  Furthermore, the broker-dealer must make a suitability
determination approving the customer for low-priced stock transactions based on
the customer’s financial situation, investment experience and
objectives.  Broker-dealers must also disclose these restrictions in
writing to the customer, obtain specific written consent from the customer, and
provide monthly account statements to the customer.  The effect of
these restrictions will probably decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to
make a market in our common stock, will decrease liquidity of our common stock
and will increase transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common stock
as compared to other securities.




15




The
stock market in general and the market prices for penny stocks in particular,
have experienced volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating
performance of such companies.  These broad fluctuations may be the
result of unscrupulous practices that may adversely affect the price of our
stock, regardless of our operating performance.





Shareholders
should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093 dated April 17,
1991, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of
fraud and abuse.  Such patterns include (1) control of the market for
the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the
promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of
purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room
practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price
projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed
bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the
wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after
prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting
inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor
losses.  The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase
the volatility of our share price.  In the past, plaintiffs have often
initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods
of volatility in the market price of its securities.  We may in the
future be the target of similar litigation.  Securities litigation
could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management's
attention and resources.




Our executive
officers and directors, along with their friends and family, own or control
approximately 31% of our issued
and outstanding common stock, which may limit the ability of our non-management
shareholders, whether acting alone or together, to influence our
management.  Additionally, this concentration of ownership could
discourage or prevent a potential takeover that might otherwise result in our
shareholders receiving a premium over the market price for our common
stock.





Approximately
31% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock is owned and
controlled by a group of insiders, including current directors and executive
officers and their friends and family.  Mr. Guseinov, our Chief
Executive Officer and President, owns 23% of our issued and outstanding common
stock.  Such concentrated control may adversely affect the price of
our common stock.  These insiders may be able to control matters
requiring approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors,
mergers or other business combinations.  Such concentrated control may
also make it difficult for our shareholders to receive a premium for their
shares of our common stock in the event we merge with a third party or enter
into different transactions that require shareholder approval.  These
provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in
the future for shares of our common stock.  Our non-management
shareholders may have no effective voice in our management.





We
do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and we may never pay
dividends.





We
currently intend to retain any future earnings to support the development of our
business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable
future.  Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion
of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including
but not limited to our financial condition, operating results, cash needs,
growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at
the time.  In addition, our ability to pay dividends on our common
stock may be limited by California state law.  Accordingly, investors
must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may
never occur, as the only way to realize a return on their
investment.  Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our
common stock.





Limitations
on director and officer liability and our indemnification of officers and
directors may discourage shareholders from bringing suit against a
director.





Our
articles of incorporation and bylaws provide, with certain exceptions as
permitted by California law, that a director or officer shall not be personally
liable to us or our shareholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or
knowing violation of law, or unlawful payments of dividends.  These
provisions may discourage shareholders from bringing suit against a director for
breach of fiduciary duty and may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation
brought by shareholders on our behalf against a director.  In
addition, our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide for mandatory
indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by
California law.  We have also entered into indemnity agreements with
our directors and executive officers.




16





Future
sales of our common stock could put downward selling pressure on our shares, and
adversely affect the stock price.  There is a risk that this downward
pressure may make it impossible for an investor to sell his shares at any
reasonable price, if at all.





Future
sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the
perception that such sales could occur, could put downward selling pressure on
our shares, and adversely affect the market price of our common
stock.

2.  Properties





Our corporate office is located at 617
West 7th Street, 10th Floor,
Los Angeles, California.  We hold the premises under the terms of a
second amendment to a lease that was signed on September 30, 2009.  We
commenced occupancy of our current space on February 1, 2010. The monthly rent
for the initial 14 month period is abated.  The base rent starting in
month 15 is $36,111 with increases of 3% per year thereafter through
2020.  Aside from the monthly rent, we are required to pay our share
of the “Common Operating Expenses”, which are all costs and expenses (including
property taxes) incurred by the landlord with respect to the operation,
maintenance, protection, repair and replacement of the building in which the
premises are located and the parcel of land on which the building is
located.  We occupy approximately 15,876 square feet of office space,
or approximately 8.26% of the building.

3.  Legal Proceedings





On February 4, 2010, Scott Wade, a
former employee, filed an action against the Company in the Superior Court of
the State of California, County of Los Angeles, alleging wrongful termination,
disability discrimination, failure to pay wages and breach of
contract.  Mr. Wade seeks an unspecified amount of damages (general
and special, statutory and punitive) as well as injunctive relief and attorney’s
fees and court costs.  The Company believes the threatened claim is
without merit and intends to vigorously defend it.

7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations





The
following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should
be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those
statements included elsewhere in this report.  In addition to the
historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Our
actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set
forth under “Risk Factors” at Item 1A of this report.




Overview




We are a
provider of security software and services to the consumer and small business
market. We are located in Los Angeles, California.  Our mission is to
bring to market advanced solutions to protect computer users against identity
theft, Internet viruses, spyware and related security threats and provide
support services to assist customers with their technology needs.





We have
developed a Collaborative Internet Security Network, which we refer to as
earlyNETWORK, which is based on certain technology principles commonly found in
a peer-to-peer network infrastructure.  A peer-to-peer network does
not have the notion of clients or servers, but only equal peer nodes that
simultaneously function as both “clients” and “servers” to the other nodes on
the network.  This means that when a threat is detected from a
computer that is part of the earlyNETWORKTM, the threat is relayed to our Early
Alert Center.  The Early Alert Center tests, grades and ranks the
threat, automatically generates definition and signature files based on the
threat, and relays this information to the Alert Server, in some cases after a
human verification step.  The Alert Server will relay the information
it receives from the Early Alert Center to other machines in the earlyNETWORKTM,
and each machine that receives the information will, in turn, relay it to other
machines that are part of the earlyNETWORKTM.  This protocol allows us
to rapidly distribute alerts and updates regarding potentially damaging viruses,
e-mails and other threats to members of the earlyNETWORKTM, without regard for
the cost of the bandwidth involved.  Because cost is not a factor,
updates can be continuous, making our approach significantly faster than the
client/server protocols used by traditional Internet security companies that
provide manual broadcast-updated threat management systems.  Computer
users join the earlyNETWORKTM simply by downloading and installing our
software.

Historically,
our revenues were derived from subscriptions to our single software product,
CyberDefender Anti-Spyware 2006, which included the initial download and one
year of updates.  The license to use the software was renewed
annually, with incentives for early renewals.  On November 20, 2006 we
stopped licensing this product to new subscribers (although we continue to
support and upgrade it for existing users).  We now offer several
products and services including our core product, CyberDefender Early Detection
Center V2.0.  EDC is a complete Internet security suite that protects
home computer users against spam, spyware, viruses and scams.  The
annual license fee varies depending on the marketing and distribution channels
that we use.





On
September 27, 2007, we announced the launch of CyberDefenderULTIMATE and
CyberDefenderCOMPLETE.  These are bundled products that include EDC as
well as support services.  CyberDefenderULTIMATE provides year round
support for any software or hardware connected to a subscriber’s computer while
CyberDefenderCOMPLETE provides a one time live technical support
call.  These products also include 2 gigabytes of online
backup.  We also offer a free Internet security toolbar called
MyIdentityDefender (“MyID”).  MyID is free to use and generates
revenue through search advertising. On November 20, 2008, the Company announced
the launch of CyberDefender Registry Cleaner.  CyberDefender Registry
Cleaner eliminates clutter and junk that builds up within a computer's registry
due to the installation and removal of programs, deletion and creation of files
and cached records from Web surfing.  The annual subscription rate
varies depending on the marketing or distribution channels we use. Additionally,
we offer stand alone technical support services available as a one-time call or
as an annual subscription.




CyberDefender
Early Detection Center V2.0 is typically marketed to consumers via a free
download of a trial version of the software.  Using the trial version,
users scan their computer for threats for free and then have the option to
upgrade to a fully featured version of the software to remove the threats from
their PCs, for a fee.




In the
past, we marketed solely online.  The offer, to scan a computer for
spyware and then pay for removal of the spyware found, was broadcast in e-mails,
banners and search ads.  In 2009, we migrated to off-line marketing
channels as we believe these channels are more effective in driving new
business.  Specifically, we are selling our products through direct
response marketing by partnering with other businesses, such as Guthy-Renker
LLC, a leader in the direct response industry and Allianex, a leader in retail
distribution.  Additionally, we have been expanding our product
offering through the licensing of the For Dummies®brand.





The
development of our newer products and services combined with the use of off-line
marketing channels has resulted in a significant growth in sales, which
increased 285% for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the year
ended December 31, 2008.  Accompanying this growth was an expected
increase in our related operating expenses as more fully described below in
Result of Operations.  However, operating expenses as a percentage of
sales decreased from the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the year
ended December 31, 2008.  As a result, we achieved operating
profitability in the fourth quarter of 2009.  For the full year, our
expenses still exceeded our revenues.  We engaged in five offerings of
our debt and/or equity securities during the 2009 fiscal year to expand our
business. On March 15, 2010, we executed a non-binding term sheet with GRM, for
a strategic investment of $5 million. This investment will be used to
continue to grow our business.





Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates





The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is
based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.  The preparation
of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses for
each period.  The following represents a summary of our critical
accounting policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most
important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations
and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments,
often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters
that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue
recognition.  The Company sells products and services and
packages that include both.





The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of software licenses under the guidance
of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) Topic 985, “Software.”





Specifically,
the Company recognizes revenues from its products when all of the following
conditions for revenue recognition are met:





i.
            
            persuasive
      evidence of an arrangement exists,ii.
            
            the
      product or service has been delivered,iii.
            
            the
      fee is fixed or determinable, andiv.
            
            collection
      of the resulting receivable is reasonably
  assured.





As part
of the sales price of its software licenses, the Company provides renewable
product support and content updates, which are separate components of product
licenses and sales. Term licenses allow customers to use the Company’s products
and receive product support coverage and content updates for a specified period,
generally twelve months. The Company invoices for product support, content
updates and term licenses at the beginning of the term. These revenues contain
multiple element arrangements where “vendor specific objective evidence”
(“VSOE”) may not exist for one or more of the elements. EDC is in substance a
subscription and the entire fee is deferred and is recognized ratably over the
term of the arrangement.





Revenue
is recognized immediately for the sale of products that do not require product
updates and services that are performed when purchased.  Additionally,
the Company recognizes the portion of the sale of bundled products and one of
its services at the time of purchase when all of the elements necessary for
revenue recognition have occurred.





The
Company also uses third parties to sell its software and therefore evaluates the
criteria of FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” in
determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of revenue and
related costs or the net amount earned as commissions. The Company is the
primary obligor, is subject to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing
prices and selecting suppliers, establishes product specifications, and has the
risk of loss. Accordingly, the Company's revenue is recorded on a gross
basis.





During
2009, the Company also offered two products which were free to the subscriber,
CyberDefender FREE 2.0 and MyIdentityDefender Toolbar. Revenues are earned from
advertising networks which pay the Company to display advertisements inside the
software or through the toolbar search. The Company recognizes revenue from the
advertising networks monthly based on a rate determined either by the quantity
of the ads displayed or the performance of the ads based on the amount of times
the ads are clicked by the user. Furthermore, advertising revenue is recognized
provided that no significant Company obligations remain at the end of a period
and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. The Company’s
obligations do not include guarantees of a minimum number of
impressions.





Product
returns are generally received within 30 days of the original sale and are
charged against the associated sale upon receipt of the return.  A
chargeback occurs after a customer is automatically charged for a renewal
license and subsequently, within 30 days of renewal, decides not to continue
using the license or the credit card processed for renewal is no longer
valid.  The third party processor of renewal sales is usually notified
within 30 days by a customer that the customer no longer wishes to license our
product.  The third party processor reduces the amounts due to us as a
result of any chargebacks during the preceding 30 day period.  As a
result, a majority of chargebacks occur within 30 days of the rebilling event
and are recorded prior to closing the previous month’s accounting
records.  As stated in our revenue recognition policy, revenue is
deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement.




21









Advertising Costs.The
Company expenses most advertising costs as they are incurred. Beginning in the
fourth quarter of 2009, per ASC Topic 340-20, Capitalized Advertising
Costs, the Company began capitalizing its direct-response advertising
costs and amortizing them over their expected period of future benefits,
generally twelve months.





Software Development
Costs.The Company
accounts for software development costs in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 985,
“Software.” Such costs
are expensed prior to achievement of technological feasibility and thereafter
are capitalized. There have been very limited software development costs
incurred between the time the software and its related enhancements have reached
technological feasibility and its general release to customers. As a result, all
software development costs have been charged to product development
expense.





Stock Based Compensation and Fair
Value of our Shares.The Company applies FASB
ASC Topic 718, “Compensation –
Stock Compensation,”which requires companies to measure and recognize
the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity
instruments based on the grant-date fair value. For non-employee stock based
compensation, the Company recognizes an expense in accordance with FASB ASC
Topic 505, “Equity,”
and values the equity securities based on the fair value of the security on the
date of grant. For stock-based awards the value is based on the market value of
the stock on the date of grant or the value of services, whichever is more
readily available. Stock option awards are valued using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model.





The
Company accounts for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in
exchange for goods and services in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC
Topic 505, “Equity.”
The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is
determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance
by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant
or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to
consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term
of the consulting agreement. An asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of
fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or
classified for accounting purposes as an offset to equity on the grantor’s
balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted. Accordingly, the Company
records the fair value of the fully vested, non-forfeitable common stock issued
for future consulting services as prepaid expense in its balance
sheet.

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements





We do not
have off-balance sheet arrangements.  As part of our ongoing business,
we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with
unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often
referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, often established
for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other
contractually narrow or limited purposes.
  22





Indemnities





During
the normal course of business, we have agreed to certain
indemnifications.  In the future, we may be required to make payments
in relation to these commitments.  These indemnities include
agreements with our officers and directors which may require us to indemnify
these individuals for liabilities arising by reason of the fact that they were
or are officers or directors.  The duration of these indemnities
varies and, in certain cases, is indefinite.  There is no limit on the
maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make pursuant to
these indemnities.  We hedge some of the risk associated with these
potential obligations by carrying general liability
insurance.  Historically, we have not been obligated to make any
payments for these obligations and no liabilities have been recorded for these
indemnities in our financial statements.

Events and Uncertainties





As
described above in the discussion of revenue recognition, we receive payment
upon the sale of our products and defer the revenue over the life of the license
agreement, which is generally one year.





The
following table summarizes our GAAP revenue and deferred revenue for each
quarter of the two most recently completed fiscal years.

The
tables above indicate an upward trend in gross sales, GAAP revenue and deferred
revenue resulting from our focus on promoting our new products and services and
the addition of our new marketing channels, as discussed below.  We
cannot guarantee that this upward trend will continue, even with increased
spending on advertising.





Other
trends, events and uncertainties that may impact our liquidity are included in
the discussion below.

This
increase in net revenue was primarily attributable to the increase in new
product sales and services that have resulted from our expanded product
offerings as well as an increase in direct advertising expenditures associated
with customer acquisition and an increase in renewals as a result of our larger
customer base.

This
increase in cost of sales was primarily attributable to the increase in sales of
our technical support service products which were primarily serviced by a third
party, an increase in sales of the CD-ROMs that backup our EDC software and
sales of third party products that require a per sale royalty.

Advertising
costs are comprised primarily of media and channel fees, including online and
offline advertising and related functional resources. Media and channel fees
fluctuate by channel.  This increase was primarily attributable to the
launch of our new products, expanding our direct marketing efforts to include
traditional media, such as radio and television, and our decision to use
advertising as a customer acquisition strategy. Advertising purchased from four
vendors accounted for 68% and 92% of the Company’s total advertising expense for
the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Selling,
general and administrative expenses are primarily comprised of salaries and
wages, third party credit card processing fees, legal and professional fees,
rent and other normal operating expenses.





This
increase was primarily attributable to two factors.  The first is an
increase in third party credit card processing fees due to the increase in
sales. The second is an increase in salaries and wages due to the increase in
staffing required as a result of the increase in sales.  Additionally,
there was an overall increase in all areas due to the increased sales activities
in the current period.  S,G & A has decreased as a percentage of
net sales to 35% for the year ended December 31, 2009 from 76% for the year

As more
fully described in the notes to the financial statements, on January 1,
2009 we adopted the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,”
that apply to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that
have the characteristics of a derivative.  As such, we were required
to reclassify certain amounts from the equity section of the balance sheet to
the liabilities section.  In addition, the value of these instruments
must be reassessed by us as of each balance sheet date.  In August
2009, the Company obtained waivers from the warrant and note holders that
forever waive, as of and after April 1, 2009, any and all conversion or exercise
price adjustments that would otherwise occur, or would have otherwise occurred
on or after April 1, 2009, as a result of certain anti-dilution provisions
included in the warrants and notes. As a result of obtaining the waivers, the
warrants and notes are now afforded equity treatment. The change in fair value
of these instruments for the year ended December 31, 2009 resulted in a gain of
$109,058.

The
increased interest expense was primarily attributable to the issuance of
additional warrants as part of a warrant tender offer that we completed on
August 17, 2009, the amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs
and interest on the 10% Convertible Promissory Notes and the vesting of the GRM
warrants offset by the decrease in the interest and amortization expense related
to our 10% Secured Debentures and our 7.41% Original Issue Discount
Notes.





Liquidity and Capital Resources





In
November 2006 we changed our operating strategy by deciding to introduce a suite
of security products instead of just a single
product.    This change in our business resulted in a
significant decrease in our revenues from 2006 to 2007 since we stopped selling
our CyberDefender AntiSpyware 2006 product while we developed and rolled-out our
new products.  Since late 2007, we have launched several new products
and services and subsequently our revenues have been increasing on a quarterly
basis since January 2008, with the Company reporting positive operating income
for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.





To help
with our cash flow, we occasionally sell our debt or equity
securities.  We currently have outstanding $2,214,000 in principal
amount of our 8% convertible debt securities.  According to the terms
of these debentures, the principal amount and all accrued interest is due on
April 1, 2011.





At
December 31, 2009, we had cash totaling $3,357,510.  In the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2009, we generated positive cash flows of $2.6
million.  In addition, on March 15, 2010, we executed a non-binding
term sheet with GRM, for a strategic investment of $5 million into the
Company.  The investment is to be in the form of a 9% convertible
promissory note due 24 months from issuance. The note will not be convertible
during the first 180 days after its issuance.  If the note is not
repaid within the first 180 days, then it would become convertible into common
stock at $3.50 per share.  CyberDefender would have the right to
prepay the note without penalty during the first 180 days.

Cash
provided/(used) during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009
included:





Operating
Activities





Net cash
used in operating activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was
primarily the result of our net loss of $13.7 million.  Net loss for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was adjusted for non-cash items such as
amortization of debt discount of $1.2 million, compensation expense for vested
stock options of $0.3 million, amortization of deferred financing fees of $0.4
million, shares and warrants issued for penalties and interest of $1.4 million,
shares and warrants issued for services of $3.2 million and warrants issued in
connection with our warrant tender offer of $0.5 million. Other changes in
working capital accounts include an increase in restricted cash of $1.6 million,
an increase in accounts receivable of $0.3 million, an increase in prepaid and
other assets of $0.2 million, an increase in deferred charges of $5.2 million,
an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.7 million and an
increase of $6.2 million in deferred revenue resulting from higher new customer
and renewal sales.




Our
primary source of operating cash flow is the collection of license fee revenues
from our customers and the timing of payments to our vendors and service
providers.  In 2009 and 2008, we did not make any significant changes
to our payment terms for our customers, which are generally credit card
based.





The
increase in cash related to accounts payable and accrued expenses was $1.7
million.  Our operating cash flows, including changes in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities, are impacted by the timing of payments to our
vendors for accounts payable.  We typically pay our vendors and
service providers in accordance with invoice terms and
conditions.  The timing of cash payments in future periods will be
impacted by the nature of accounts payable arrangements.  In the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we did not make any significant
changes to the timing of payments to our vendors.





Our
working capital deficit at December 31, 2009, defined as current assets minus
current liabilities, was $3.9 million as compared to a working capital deficit
of $7.8 million at December 31, 2008.  The increase in working
capital of approximately $3.9 million from December 31, 2008 to December 31,
2009 was primarily attributable to an increase in cash of $2.6 million, an
increase in restricted cash of $1.6 million, an increase in deferred charges of
$5.2 million, a decrease in the current portion of notes payable of $2.4 million
offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.7 million
and an increase in deferred revenue of $6.2 million, resulting from increased
sales.





Investing
Activities





Net cash
used in investing activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was
$0.2 million, which was used for property and equipment purchases.  We
expect to continue to purchase property and equipment in the normal course of
our business.  The amount and timing of these purchases and the
related cash outflows in future periods is difficult to predict and is dependent
on a number of factors, including but not limited to any increase in the number
of our employees and changes in computer hardware and software used in our
business.  Net cash used in investing activities during the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2008 was $0 and also related to the purchase of property
and equipment.





Financing
Activities





Cash
provided by financing activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009
was primarily the result of the sale of common stock of $3.6 million, issuances
of notes payable, net of commissions, totaling $2.7 million and the exercise of
common stock warrants and options totaling $2.5 million.  Cash used in
financing activities was for payments on capital lease
obligations.  Cash provided by financing activities during the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2008 was primarily the result of issuances of notes
payable, net of commissions, totaling $1.0 million and the sale of stock net of
offering costs totaling $1.0 million.  Cash used in financing
activities was primarily used for payment of notes payable totaling $0.3 million
and payments on capital lease obligations.

Disclosure
Controls and Procedures





Regulations
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) require public
companies to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined as
controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within
the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and
forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management,
including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.





We
conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of December 31, 2009.  Based on that evaluation, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of
December 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at
the reasonable assurance level due to a significant deficiency described
below.





In light
of the significant deficiency described below, we performed additional analysis
and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.  Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements
included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods
presented.





A
significant deficiency is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 5), that
results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the
annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected.  Management has identified the following significant
deficiency which has caused management to conclude that, as of December 31,
2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the
reasonable assurance level:





1.           Internal
control policies and procedures are not documented in a formalized
manner.  Written documentation of disclosure controls and procedures
is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Management
evaluated the impact of our failure to have formalized documentation of our
internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls
and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted
represented a significant deficiency.




28





To
address this significant deficiency, management performed additional analysis
and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein
fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the periods presented.





Remediation
of Significant Deficiency





We have
attempted to remediate the deficiency in our disclosure controls and procedures
identified above by hiring a full-time CFO, with SEC reporting experience, in
January 2009 and two additional accounting personnel during 2009 to allow us to
refine and document our internal controls and procedures. During the next fiscal
year we also intend to implement the remediation initiatives discussed below, in
the section titled “Management’s Remediation Initiatives”, which we believe will
significantly strengthen our controls and procedures.





Management's
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting





Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial
reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the
Exchange Act as a process designed by, or
under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal
financial officers and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management
and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and includes those policies and procedures
that:





·
            Pertain
      to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and
      fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
      issuer;





·
            Provide
      reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
      preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting
      principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that
      receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance
      with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer;
      and





·
            Provide
      reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
      unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that
      could have a material effect on the financial
  statements.





Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  All internal control
systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent
limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective
can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation and presentation.  Because of the inherent limitations of
internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial
reporting.  However, these inherent limitations are known features of
the financial reporting process.  Therefore, it is possible to design
into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this
risk.




29





As of the
end of our most recent fiscal year, management assessed the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective
internal control over financial reporting established in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such
assessments.  Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, as of
December 31, 2009, such internal control over financial reporting was not
effective.  This was due to a deficiency that existed in the design or
operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely
affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material
weakness.





The
matter involving internal control over financial reporting that our management
considered to be a material weakness under the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board was the lack of a functioning audit committee due to
a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside
directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the
establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and
procedures.  The aforementioned material weakness was identified by
our Chief Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial
statements as of December 31, 2009.





Management
believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a
majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective
oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and
procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial
statements in future periods.





This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by the
Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
SEC that permit the Company to provide only the management's report in this
annual report.





Management's
Remediation Initiatives





In an
effort to remediate the identified material weakness and significant deficiency
and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the
following series of measures:





We will
increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the
accounting function when funds are available to us. First, we will create a
senior position to focus on financial reporting and standardizing and
documenting our accounting procedures with the goal of increasing the
effectiveness of the internal controls in preventing and detecting misstatements
of accounting information. Second, we plan to appoint outside directors to our
board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a
fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the
establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such
as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when
funds are available to us. We anticipate the costs of implementing these
remediation initiatives will be approximately $100,000 to $125,000 a year in
increased salaries and $50,000 to $100,000 a year in increased legal and
accounting expenses.





Management
believes that the appointment of outside directors, who shall be appointed to a
fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit
committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our
Board.





We
anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully,
implemented by December 31, 2010.  Additionally, we plan to test our
updated controls and remediate our deficiencies by December 31,
2010.

Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting





There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such
term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15 (f) under the Exchange Act) during
the fourth quarter of 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM




Board of
Directors and Stockholders


CyberDefender
Corporation




We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of CyberDefender Corporation (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of
operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then
ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.




We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The
Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to
perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits
included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis
for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we
express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.




In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of CyberDefender Corporation as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


FOR
THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008





NOTE
1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES





Organization and
Business




The
Company, based in Los Angeles, California, is a provider of security software
and services to the consumer and small business market. The Company develops,
markets and licenses security software and related services. The Company’s goal
is to bring to market advanced solutions to protect computer users against
identity theft, Internet viruses, spyware, and related computer threats. The
Company markets its products directly to consumers.





The
Company sells a suite of products and services that includes anti-malware
software, a registry cleaner, technical support and identity protection
services.  The Company markets its products through multiple channels
including internet, radio, television and retail.





Reclassification




To
conform to the current year’s presentation, as a result of management’s
continuing analysis of its financial reporting, the Company consolidated its
2008 Accrued expenses – registration rights agreement account with Accrued
expenses on the balance sheet. Additionally, the Company reclassified $15,000
from Prepaid expenses to Restricted cash. These reclassifications had no effect
on the previously reported net loss for 2008.





Use of
Estimates




The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Significant estimates made by management are, among others,
collectibility of accounts receivable, recoverability of prepaid expenses,
deferred charges and property and equipment, value of shares and
options/warrants granted, valuation of deferred tax assets and recognition of
revenue. Actual results could differ from those estimates and
assumptions.





Property and
Equipment




Property
and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and
improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs
are charged to expense as incurred. When equipment is 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 is provided over the estimated useful lives of
the related assets ranging from three to ten years, using the straight-line
method. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided over the shorter
of the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the term of the
lease.





Equipment under Capital
Lease




The
Company leases certain of its furniture and other equipment under agreements
accounted for as capital leases. The assets and liabilities under capital lease
are recorded at the lesser of the present value of aggregate future minimum
lease payments, including estimated bargain purchase options, or the fair value
of the assets under lease. Assets under capital lease are depreciated using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.





Fair Value of Financial
Instruments




The
Company cannot determine the estimated fair value of its convertible notes
payable as instruments similar to the convertible notes payable could not be
found. Other than this item, the Company believes the carrying value of
financial instruments approximates their fair value.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)





Revenue
Recognition




The
Company sells a combination of products, services and packages that include
both.





The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of software licenses under the guidance
of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) Topic 985, “Software.”





Specifically,
the Company recognizes revenues from its products when all of the following
conditions for revenue recognition are met:





i.
            
            persuasive
      evidence of an arrangement exists,ii.
            
            the
      product or service has been delivered,iii.
            
            the
      fee is fixed or determinable, andiv.
            
            collection
      of the resulting receivable is reasonably
  assured.





As part
of the sales price of its software licenses, the Company provides renewable
product support and content updates, which are separate components of product
licenses and sales. Term licenses allow customers to use the Company’s products
and receive product support coverage and content updates for a specified period,
generally twelve months. The Company invoices for product support, content
updates and term licenses at the beginning of the term. These revenues contain
multiple element arrangements where “vendor specific objective evidence”
(“VSOE”) may not exist for one or more of the elements. Certain of the Company’s
software licenses are in substance a subscription and the entire fee is deferred
and is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement.





Revenue
is recognized immediately for the sale of products that do not require product
updates and services that are performed when purchased.  Additionally,
the Company recognizes the portion of the sale of bundled products and one of
its services at the time of purchase when all of the elements necessary for
revenue recognition have occurred.





The
Company also uses third parties to sell its software and therefore evaluates the
criteria of FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” in
determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of revenue and
related costs or the net amount earned as commissions. The Company is the
primary obligor, is subject to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing
prices and selecting suppliers, establishes product specifications, and has the
risk of loss. Accordingly, the Company’s revenue is recorded on a gross
basis.





The
Company also offers MyIdentityDefender Toolbar free to the subscriber and still
supports CyberDefender FREE 2.0 although it is no longer offered to new
subscribers.. Revenues are earned from advertising networks which pay the
Company to display advertisements inside the software or through the toolbar
search. The Company recognizes revenue from the advertising networks monthly
based on a rate determined either by the quantity of the ads displayed or the
performance of the ads based on the amount of times the ads are clicked by the
user. Furthermore, advertising revenue is recognized provided that no
significant Company obligations remain at the end of a period and collection of
the resulting receivable is probable. The Company’s obligations do not include
guarantees of a minimum number of impressions.





Deferred
Charges




The
Company uses a third party to provide technical support services associated with
the CyberDefenderULTIMATE product.  The costs associated with this
service are deferred and amortized against the recognition of the related sales
revenue.





Advertising
Costs




The
Company expenses most advertising costs as they are incurred. Beginning in the
fourth quarter of 2009, per ASC Topic 340-20, Capitalized Advertising
Costs, the Company began capitalizing its direct-response advertising
costs and amortizing them over their expected period of future benefits,
generally twelve months. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, $2.3 million and
$0, respectively, of capitalized advertising costs were recorded in Deferred
charges on the accompanying balance sheets.





Reserves for Product
Returns




The
Company’s policy with respect to product returns is defined in its End User
License Agreement (“EULA”), which states “...products purchased that are
downloadable are refundable within the first 30 days after the date of
purchase.” Product returns are generally received within 30 days of the original
sale and are charged against the associated sale upon receipt of the
return.  A chargeback occurs when a customer contacts their issuing credit
card company directly to request a refund instead of contacting the
Company.  The Company’s third party processor is notified of any
chargebacks by the issuing credit card company.  The third party processor
reduces the amounts due to the Company as a result of any chargeback.  A
majority of chargebacks occur within 30 days of the sale event and are recorded
prior to closing the previous month’s accounting records.  The Company may
voluntarily accept returns from a customer after 30 days of purchase. The
returns are charged against revenues upon receipt. As of December 31, 2009 and
2008, the Company had $0 accrued for customer returns and chargebacks, based on
historical returns.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)





Concentrations of
Risk




We derive
a majority of our net revenue from our security software and services. The
market in which we operate is highly competitive and rapidly changing.
Significant technological changes, changes in customer requirements, or the
emergence of competitive products with new capabilities or technologies could
adversely affect operating results.





As of
December 31, 2009, all of our cash was maintained at a major financial
institution in the United States. At times, deposits held with the financial
institution may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) which provides deposit coverage
with limits up to $250,000 per owner through December 31, 2013. As of December
31, 2009, the Company had a balance of approximately $3,366,000 in excess of the
FDIC limit.





Advertising
expenses that are expensed as incurred consist primarily of various forms of
media purchased from Internet-based marketers and search engines. For the years
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, advertising expense amounted to $13,081,509
and $7,106,455, respectively.  Advertising purchased from four vendors
accounted for 68% and 92% of the Company’s total advertising expense for the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.





Income
Taxes




The
Company has adopted the liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant
to FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income
Taxes.” Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect tax consequences on
future years for the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities
and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. 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 basis. Deferred tax assets, including
tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.





Deferred
income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax
assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets
and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on
their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance
when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion
or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.





FASB ASC
Topic 740 prescribes recognition thresholds that must be met before a tax
position is recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on
de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure, and transition. An entity may only recognize or continue to
recognize tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold. The
Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2009
that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax
rate.





The
Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax
issues as components of income tax expense. The Company did not recognize or
have any accrual for interest and penalties relating to income taxes as of
December 31, 2009.





Software Development
Costs




The
Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with FASB ASC
Topic 985, “Software.”
Such costs are expensed prior to achievement of technological feasibility and
thereafter are capitalized. There have been very limited software development
costs incurred between the time the software and its related enhancements have
reached technological feasibility and its general release to customers. As a
result, all software development costs have been charged to product development
expense.





Derivative
Instruments




Effective
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 815,
“Derivatives and
Hedging,” that
applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have
the characteristics of a derivative and to any freestanding financial
instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock. As a
result, as of January 1, 2009, 7,134,036 of the Company’s issued and outstanding
common stock purchase warrants previously treated as equity pursuant to the
derivative treatment exemption were no longer afforded equity treatment. In
addition, amounts related to the embedded conversion feature of convertible
notes issued previous to January 1, 2009 and treated as equity pursuant to the
derivative treatment exemption were also no longer afforded equity treatment. As
such, effective January 1, 2009, the Company reclassified the fair value of
these common stock purchase warrants and the fair value of the embedded
conversion features, which both have exercise price reset features, from equity
to liability status as if these warrants and embedded conversion features were
treated as a derivative liability since the earliest date of issue in
September 2006. On January 1, 2009, the Company reclassified from
additional paid-in capital, as a cumulative effect adjustment,
$7,065,940 to beginning additional paid-in capital, $723,930 to opening
retained earnings and $6,342,010 to a long-term derivative liability to
recognize the fair value of such warrants and embedded conversion features on
such date.

FOR
THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008





NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)





During
the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company issued 1,192,000 common stock
purchase warrants that contained features that required the Company to record
their fair value as a derivative liability.  In addition, the value
related to the embedded conversion feature of convertible notes issued during
the year ended December 31, 2009 was also recorded as a derivative liability.
The fair value of these common stock purchase warrants and the embedded
conversion feature on their respective value date for the year ended December
31, 2009 was $906,805.  We recognized income of $109,058 from the
change in fair value of the outstanding warrants and embedded conversion feature
for the year ended December 31, 2009.





The
Company obtained waivers from the warrant and note holders, pursuant to which
the warrant and note holders forever waived, as of and after April 1, 2009, any
and all conversion or exercise price adjustments that would otherwise occur, or
would have otherwise occurred on or after April 1, 2009, as a result of the
price reset provisions included in the warrants and notes. As a result of
obtaining the waivers, the warrants and notes are now afforded equity treatment
resulting in the elimination of the derivative liabilities of $7,139,757 and a
corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital.





Fair Value
Measurements




In
September 2006, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 820,
“Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures,”which defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The
pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB
released additional guidance now codified under FASB ASC Topic 820, which
provides for delayed application of certain guidance related to non-financial
assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at
least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those years. On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted
the provisions of ASC Topic 820, except as it applies to those nonfinancial
assets and nonfinancial liabilities for which the effective date has been
delayed by one year, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2009. The
implementation of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.





The fair
value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data
(observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The
hierarchy consists of three levels:





•
            
            Level
      one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or
      liabilities;•
            
            Level
      two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or
      indirectly observable; and•
            
            Level
      three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions,
      which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions
      that a market participant would
use.




Determining
which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires
significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each
quarter. The Company has no assets or liabilities that are measured at fair
value on a recurring basis. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair
value on a non-recurring basis during the year ended December 31,
2009.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)





Loss Per
Share




In
accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” the
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 December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were 16,139,945 and 14,807,513 shares of
potentially dilutive securities outstanding, respectively. As the Company
reported a net loss, none of the potentially dilutive securities were
included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share since their effect
would be anti-dilutive for that reporting period.





Stock Based
Compensation




The
Company applies FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,”which requires companies to measure and recognize the cost of employee
services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the
grant-date fair value. For non-employee stock based compensation, the Company
recognizes an expense in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 505, “Equity,” and values the
equity securities based on the fair value of the security on the date of grant.
For stock-based awards the value is based on the market value of the stock on
the date of grant or the value of services, whichever is more readily available.
Stock option awards are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model.





The
Company accounts for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in
exchange for goods and services in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC
Topic 505, “Equity.”
The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is
determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance
by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant
or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to
consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term
of the consulting agreement. An asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of
fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or
classified for accounting purposes as an offset to equity on the grantor’s
balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted. Accordingly, the Company
records the fair value of the fully vested, non-forfeitable common stock issued
for future consulting services as prepaid expense in its balance
sheet.





Segment
Disclosures




The
Company operates in one segment and its chief operating decision maker is its
chief executive officer.





Subsequent
events




The
Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing date of this Form
10-K, and determined that no subsequent events have occurred that would require
recognition in the consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes
thereto other than as discussed in the accompanying notes (see Note
10).





Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements




The
Company has adopted all accounting pronouncements effective before December 31,
2009 which are applicable to the Company.





In
September 2009, the FASB issued an update to its accounting guidance
regarding multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The guidance addresses how
to measure and allocate consideration to one or more units of accounting.
Specifically, the guidance requires that consideration be allocated among
multiple deliverables based on relative selling prices. The guidance establishes
a selling price hierarchy of (1) vendor-specific objective evidence, (2)
third-party evidence and (3) estimated selling price. This guidance is effective
for annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010 but may be early adopted
as of the beginning of an annual period. The Company expects to adopt this
guidance on January 1, 2010 and does not expect this guidance to have a material
impact on its financial statements.





In
October 2009, the FASB issued an update to its accounting guidance
regarding software revenue recognition. The guidance changes the accounting
model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software
elements. Under this guidance, tangible products containing software components
and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible
product’s essential functionality are excluded from the software revenue
guidance in FASB ASC Topic 985, “Software.” In addition,
hardware components of a tangible product containing software components are
always excluded from the software revenue guidance. This guidance is effective
prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in
fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 but may be early adopted. The
Company expects to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2010 and does not expect
this guidance to have a material impact on its financial
statements.





In
January 2010, the FASB issued an update to its accounting guidance regarding
fair value measurement and disclosure. The guidance affects the disclosures made
about recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements. This guidance is
effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except
for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the
roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2010.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its financial
statements.

NOTE
2 – RESTRICTED CASH





Under a
credit card processing agreement with a financial institution, the Company is
required to maintain a security reserve deposit as collateral.  The
amount of the deposit is at the discretion of the financial institution and as
of December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $10,000 and $15,000, respectively. Under a
separate credit card processing agreement with a different financial
institution, the Company is also required to maintain a security reserve deposit
as collateral. The amount of the deposit is currently based on 10% of the
six-month rolling sales volume and was approximately $1.3 million and $0 as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The security reserve deposit is funded
by the institution withholding a portion of daily cash receipts from Visa and
MasterCard transactions.





On
September 30, 2009, the Company entered into a second amendment to its lease as
more fully described in Note 9 below. As part of the amendment the Company is
required to issue a $250,000 letter of credit as a security deposit. The letter
of credit is collateralized by cash held in an account at the Company’s bank.
The account is interest bearing and the Company receives the interest that is
earned.

The
Company is subject to taxation in the United States and the State of
California.  The Company is subject to examination for tax years 2005
forward by the United States and the tax years 2004 forward by

The
change in the valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
was approximately $4,242,000 and $1,471,000, respectively.





At
December 31, 2009, the Company had federal and state net operating loss
carryforwards of $23,643,000 and $23,530,000 available, respectively, to reduce
future taxable income and which will expire at various dates beginning in
2015.





Pursuant
to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, the use of the Company’s net
operating loss and credit carryforwards may be limited if a cumulative change in
ownership of more than 50% occurs within a three-year period.  The
annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and
credits before utilization.





The
Company has not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has
occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since the
Company’s formation due to the complexity and cost associated with such a study,
and the fact that there may be additional such ownership changes in the future.
If the Company has experienced an ownership change at any time since its
formation, utilization of the NOL carryforwards would be subject to an annual
limitation under Section 382 of the Code, which is determined by first
multiplying the value of the Company’s stock at the time of the ownership change
by the applicable long-term, tax-exempt rate, and then could be subject to
additional adjustments, as required. Any limitation may result in expiration of
a portion of the NOL carryforwards before utilization. Further, until a study is
completed and any limitation known, no amounts are being considered as an
uncertain tax position or disclosed as an unrecognized tax benefit. Due to the
existence of the valuation allowance, future changes in the Company’s
unrecognized tax benefits will not impact its effective tax rate. Any
carryforwards that will expire prior to utilization as a result of such
limitations will be removed from deferred tax assets with a corresponding
reduction of the valuation allowance.





NOTE
5 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT





Common
Stock




On
October 18, 2007, the Company began an offering of units. Each unit consisted of
25,000 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 18,750 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share. The purchase price was $25,000
per unit. The warrants have a term of five years. Pursuant to the warrant
agreements, from and after the warrant issue date, in the event the Company
sells common stock for less than the exercise price or issues securities
convertible into or exercisable for common stock at a conversion price or
exercise price less than the exercise price (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the
exercise price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of shares of common stock sold and issued at the closing of such Dilutive
Issuance plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the
total number of shares of common stock sold and issued at the closing of such
Dilutive Issuance would purchase at the exercise price, and the denominator of
which is the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the date
of such Dilutive Issuance plus the number of additional shares of common stock
sold and issued at the closing of such Dilutive Issuance. As of April 1, 2009,
the holders of the warrants have waived their rights to any adjustments to the
exercise price as a result of a Dilutive Issuance (see Note 1).

deemed to be a non-refundable retainer. The remaining 50,000 shares, valued at
$63,000, were issued 46 days after execution of the agreement. As the shares
were unforfeitable upon issuance and there was no guarantee of future benefit to
be provided, the value of the shares was expensed upon issuance to investor
relations and other related consulting expense.





On August
14, 2008, a holder of warrants to purchase 98,121 shares of common stock of the
Company at a price of $1.01 per share exercised the warrants under Section 3(c)
of the warrant document which allows for cashless exercise of the warrants. As a
result, the Company issued 37,985 shares of its common stock.

provide investor relations services in exchange for a warrant to purchase
2,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.25 per share. 900,000 warrants

the warrant if the Company at any time while this warrant is outstanding sells
and issues any common stock at a price per share less than the then exercise
price. During August 2009, the Company received a waiver whereby GRM permanently
waived, as of and after April 1, 2009, any and all exercise price adjustments
that would otherwise occur, or would have occurred on or after April 1, 2009, as

2011 pursuant to the First Amendment to the agreement dated June 4, 2009,
subject to certain rights of termination, GRM will be the exclusive provider of
all media purchasing and direct response production services.  On June
23, 2009, because the agreement had not been terminated, the Company appointed a
representative of GRM to the Company’s board of directors.  A GRM
representative will continue to serve throughout the term of the agreement and
for so long as GRM owns shares of the Company’s common stock or the right to
purchase shares of the Company’s common stock which constitute at least 5% of
the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.





As
compensation for GRM’s services, the Company agreed to amend the warrant
described above so that the terms were consistent with the warrants described
below.  None of the amended terms resulted in an accounting change to
the warrant.  In conjunction with the execution of the Media and
Marketing Services Agreement and for creating, financing, producing, testing and
evaluating a television commercial to market the Company’s products, the Company
issued to GRM a second five-year warrant for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of
the Company’s common stock at a price of $1.25 per share valued at $712,303
using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  The fair value of the warrant
was capitalized at the time of issuance and

was
expensed over the five-month expected term of service to investor relations and
other consulting expense.  This warrant may be exercised only for
cash.  Finally, the Company agreed to issue to GRM a five-year warrant
(“Media Services Warrant”) for the purchase of 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share.  The Media
Services Warrant may be exercised only with cash and is subject to vesting as
follows: for each $2 of media placement costs advanced by GRM on the Company’s
behalf, the right to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock will
vest.  As of December 31, 2009, the right to purchase 1,837,332 of the
8,000,000 Media Services Warrant shares has vested and was valued at $1,358,090
using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  The fair value of these vested
shares has been expensed to interest expense as the shares represent
compensation to GRM for the advancement of media costs on the Company’s behalf.
The remaining 6,162,668 shares from the Media Services Warrant are not
guaranteed to vest as they are contingent on GRM advancing media placement
costs, therefore, these unvested warrants have not been included or accounted
for as outstanding dilutive securities at December 31, 2009. These warrants
included an anti-dilutive provision that reduced the exercise price of the
warrants if the Company at any time while the warrants are outstanding sells and
issues any common stock at a price per share less than the then exercise price.
During August 2009, the Company received a waiver whereby GRM permanently
waived, as of and after April 1, 2009, any and all exercise price adjustments
that would otherwise occur, or would have occurred on or after April 1, 2009, as
a result of this provision.





If GRM
terminates the agreement due to a breach by the Company in the Company’s
performance or as a result of the Company’s discontinuance, dissolution,
liquidation, winding up or insolvency, or if the Company terminates the
agreement for any reason, any unexpired and unvested rights of GRM to purchase
shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the agreement will immediately
vest. If the Company breaches its payment obligations under the agreement and
fails to cure the breach within 15 days after receiving notice from GRM, then
the number of warrant shares which would otherwise vest during the month of the
delinquent payment will automatically double.





In
November 2009, the Company amended the Media and Marketing Services Agreement
with GRM. Pursuant to this amendment, if any of the warrants that have been
issued to GRM are outstanding and the Company sells and issues common stock at a
price per share less than the exercise price set forth in the applicable
warrant, as adjusted thereunder (such issuances collectively, a “Lower Priced
Issuance”), without the prior written consent of GRM, then 37.5%of any unexpired and
unvested rights of GRM to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant
to the Media Services Warrant shall immediately and automatically vest in full
without any notice or action of GRM. As of December 31, 2009, no common stock
has been issued at a price less than the exercise price of the GRM
warrants.





On April
1, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant for management
consulting and business advisory services on an as needed basis.  The
consultant was granted a warrant to purchase 850,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock for a period of five years at an exercise price of
$1.25.  These warrants vest as follows: 300,000 immediately and 50,000
per month on the 1st day of
each month commencing May 1, 2009 and ending March 1, 2010. As of December 31,
2009, the right to purchase 700,000 of the 850,000 warrant shares has vested and
was valued at $645,872 using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  The
fair value of the vested warrants has been expensed to investor relations and
other consulting expense.





On April
5, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant for marketing
related services.  The agreement had a term of three
months.  The agreement provided compensation of $13,000 for month one,

consultant was granted a warrant to purchase 15,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock for a period of five years at an exercise price of
$1.25.  This warrant was to vest 5,000 shares per month over the term
of the agreement. On May 15, 2009, the original agreement was terminated, along
with the right to purchase 8,387 shares of common stock that would have vested
over the remaining term of the agreement, and the Company entered into a second
agreement with the consultant.  The second agreement had a term of
three months and provided for compensation of $17,500 for month one, of which
50% was deferred for 30 days, and $8,750 per month thereafter. In addition, the
consultant was granted a warrant to purchase 15,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock for a period of five years at an exercise price of
$1.25.  The warrant was to vest 5,000 shares per month over the term
of the second agreement. The second agreement also provided for a bonus of up to
50,000 additional warrant shares at an exercise price of $1.83 for achieving
certain goals. On June 15, 2009, the second agreement was terminated, along with
the right to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock that would have vested in
July and August 2009, and the Company entered into a third agreement with the
consultant.  The third agreement had a term of two months. The third
agreement provided compensation of $12,500 per month. In addition, the
consultant was granted a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock for a period of five years at an exercise price of
$1.25.  This warrant vests 5,000 shares per month over the term of the
agreement. Additionally, the consultant was granted a warrant to purchase 5,000
shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of five years at an exercise
price of $1.83 for deferring 50% of the compensation due for May 2009 until July
30, 2009 and a warrant to purchase 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
for a period of five years at an exercise price of $1.83 as part of the bonus
that was earned under the second agreement. The third agreement also provided
for a bonus of up to 45,000 additional warrant shares at an exercise price of
$1.83 for achieving certain goals. These goals were achieved and the Company
issued the bonus warrant to the consultant on August 15, 2009. The fair value of
the 76,613 warrant shares that were granted and vested of $127,803 was expensed
to investor relations and other consulting expense.





On April
24, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Michael Barrett for
consulting services relating to financial management and
reporting.  As part of the agreement, Mr. Barrett was granted a
warrant to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.80
per share. The fair value of the warrant was $3,453, using a Black Scholes
pricing model, and was expensed to investor relations and other consulting

In May
2009, the Company began an offering to the holders of its warrants issued with
“cashless exercise” provisions and/or “down-round” provisions (collectively the
“Released Provisions”).  Pursuant to the offering, the warrant holders
were given the opportunity to increase by 10% the number of shares of common
stock covered by their warrants in exchange for extinguishing the Released
Provisions from their warrants.  In order for the warrant holders to
take advantage of the offer, they were required to exercise a portion of their
warrant(s) and purchase for cash no less than 30% of the shares of common stock
covered by their warrant(s), after giving effect to the increase.  On
June 29, 2009, the Company filed a Schedule TO with the SEC covering this
offering.  Per the Schedule TO, the offering was to expire on July 28,
2009.  The Schedule TO was subsequently amended and the offering was
extended until August 17, 2009. The Company received $2,008,180 in proceeds, net
of offering costs of $72,835, and issued 1,838,952 shares of common stock to
warrant holders that participated in this offer.  Additionally, the
Company issued warrants to purchase 269,681 shares of the Company’s common stock
which represented the 10% increase in the shares of common stock covered by the
warrants. The additional warrants were valued at $548,728, using the Black
Scholes pricing model, and were expensed to interest expense.





On May
15, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant for marketing
related services.  The agreement had a term of three months and

to vest 5,000 shares per month over the term of the agreement. The agreement
also provided for a bonus of up to 50,000 additional warrant shares at an
exercise price of $1.83 for achieving certain goals. On June 15, 2009, the
agreement was terminated, along with the right to purchase 10,000 shares of
common stock that would have vested in June and July 2009, and the Company
entered into a second agreement with the consultant.  The second
agreement had a term of two months and provided for compensation of $12,500 per
month. In addition, the consultant was granted a warrant to purchase 10,000
shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of five years at an exercise

NOTE
5 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT (Continued)





The
Company’s common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities
market, therefore, we estimate the fair value of these warrants using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions for the years
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:





2009
            
            2008Annual
      dividend yield
            
            0.0%

      volatility
            
            85-103%
            
            99-148%





Expected
volatility is based primarily on historical volatility. Historical volatility
was computed using weekly pricing observations for the prior year. The Company
believes this method produces an estimate that is representative of the
Company’s expectations of future volatility over the expected term of these
warrants. The Company currently has no reason to believe future volatility over
the expected remaining life of these warrants is likely to differ materially
from historical volatility. The expected life is based on the remaining term of
the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on 5-year to 10-year U.S.
Treasury securities.





Stock
options




In
January 2005, the Company adopted the CyberDefender Corporation 2005 Stock
Option Plan (sometimes called the CyberDefender Corporation 2005 Equity
Incentive Plan and referred to herein as the “2005 Plan”), which provides for
the granting of Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options, the
issuance of stock appreciation rights, stock purchase rights and awards of
stock. Under the terms of the 2005 Plan, the exercise price of options granted
may be equal to, greater than or less than the fair market value on the date of
grant, the options have a maximum term of ten years and generally vest over
a period of
service or attainment of specified performance objectives. The maximum aggregate
amount of options that may be granted from the 2005 Plan is 931,734
shares.

Convertible
Notes




On
September 12, 2006, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with 13 accredited investors pursuant to which it sold 10% secured convertible
debentures (the “2006 Debentures”) in the aggregate principal amount of
$3,243,378 and common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of
3,243,378 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share. The 2006
Debentures are convertible at $1.00 (the “Base Conversion Price”) into shares
of common stock. The 2006 Debentures mature on September 12, 2009 and bear
interest at the rate of 10% per year, payable quarterly. If, during the time
that the 2006 Debentures were outstanding, the Company sells or grants any
option to purchase (other than options issued pursuant to a plan approved by our
board of directors), or sells or grants any right to reprice its securities, or
otherwise disposes of or issues any common stock or common stock equivalents
entitling any person to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at a price
per share that is lower than the conversion price of the debentures or that is
higher than the Base Conversion Price but lower than the daily volume weighted
average price of the common stock, then the conversion price of the 2006
Debentures will be reduced. During August 2009, the Company received a waiver
whereby the holders of the 2006 Debentures permanently waived, as of and after
April 1, 2009, any and all conversion or exercise price adjustments that would
otherwise occur, or would have occurred on or after April 1, 2009, as a result
of this provision.





Under the
terms of the Registration Rights Agreement executed in conjunction with the
offering, the Company is obligated to register for resale at least 130% of the
shares of its common stock issuable upon the conversion of the 2006 Debentures
and the exercise of the common stock purchase warrants. However, the agreement
also prohibits the Company from registering shares of common stock on a
registration statement that total more than one-half of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock, reduced by 10,000 shares.





If a
registration statement was not filed within 30 days of the sale of the 2006
Debentures, or was not effective 120 days from the date of the sale of the 2006
Debentures, which was January 10, 2007, or if the Company did not respond to an
SEC request for information during the registration period within 10 days of
notice, the Company was required to pay to each holder of its 2006 Debentures an
amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to
1.5% of the aggregate subscription amount paid by each holder. The Company, (1)
was not liable for liquidated damages with respect to any warrants or warrant
shares, (2) was not liable for liquidated damages in excess of 1.5% of the
aggregate subscription amount of the holders in any 30-day period, and (3) the
maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a holder was 18% of the
aggregate subscription amount paid by such holder up to a maximum aggregate
liquidated damages of 18% of the total amount of the 2006 Debentures, or
$583,808. If the Company failed to pay any partial liquidated damages in full
within seven days after the date payable, the Company would pay interest at a
rate of 18% per annum to the holder, accruing daily from the date such partial
liquidated damages were due until such amounts, plus all such interest, were
paid in full. The partial liquidated damages applied on a daily pro-rata basis
for any portion of a month.





Pursuant
to Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Rights Agreement, the holders of the
Company’s 2006 Debentures agreed to extend the filing date of the registration
statement to October 31, 2006, and pursuant to Amendment No. 2 to the
Registration Rights Agreement, the holders of the Company’s 2006 Debentures
agreed to extend the filing date of the registration statement to November 3,
2006. The Company did not meet the 10 day response period for responding to an
SEC request for additional information nor did the Company meet the target
registration statement effectiveness date of January 10, 2007. The holders did
not agree to waive the liquidated damages that accrued due to the Company’s
failure to meet the 10 day period for responding to an SEC request for
additional information nor did the holders agree to waive the liquidated damages
that accrued due to the Company’s failure to have the registration statement
declared effective by January 10, 2007.





The
Company believed, at the time the 2006 Debentures were issued, that it was
probable that it would be in violation of certain filing provisions within the
Registration Rights Agreement and recorded $111,897 as a discount to the 2006
Debentures. On March 23, 2007 the Company entered into a Consent and Waiver
agreement as more fully described below that determined the actual liquidated
damages to be $169,917 calculated through March 23, 2007 and covering the period
through April 30, 2007.





The
Company was also required to make an interest payment to the 2006 Debenture
holders on April 1, 2007. The Consent and Waiver allowed the Company to make the
April 1 interest payment and pay the liquidated damages in one of two ways to be
chosen by each holder. For payment of the 2006 Debenture holder’s pro rata
portion of the April 1 interest payment, the 2006 Debenture holder could choose
to increase the principal amount of his 2006 Debenture by his pro-rata share of
the accrued interest amount or accept shares of the Company’s common stock
valued at $0.85 per share for this purpose. For payment of the 2006 Debenture
holders pro rata portion of the liquidated damages, each 2006 Debenture holder
had the same choice, that is, either to increase his 2006 Debenture by the pro
rata liquidated damages amount or accept shares of the Company’s common stock
valued at $0.85 per share for this purpose. If all the 2006 Debenture holders
were to choose to accept shares of the Company’s common stock in payment of the
April 1 interest payment and the liquidated damages, the Company would be
required to issue up to a total of 566,336 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Consent and Waiver allowed the Company to issue these shares without
triggering the anti-dilution rights included in the original offering documents.
The Company issued 195,594 shares during 2007 as partial payment for these
liquidated damages valued at $166,259. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, $3,658 of
these damages remained in accrued expenses. The Company issued 190,090 shares in
November and December 2007 as a partial payment in the amount of $161,580 for
the April 1 interest. The Company issued 15,669 shares in January and February
2008 as a partial payment in the amount of $13,319 for the April 1
interest.

The
Company did not meet the April 30, 2007 date for its registration statement to
be declared effective by the SEC. The registration statement became effective on
July 19, 2007. As a result, the Company incurred additional liquidated damages
for the period May 1 through July 19, 2007 of $132,726. On September 21, 2007
the Company received from the holders of the 2006 Debentures a second Consent
and Waiver. The holders of the 2006 Debentures agreed to accept shares of the
Company’s common stock at $0.85 per share instead of cash as payment
for the interest due on July 1, 2007 and October 1, 2007 and for damages
incurred under the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company issued 135,063
shares in February 2008 as partial payment for these liquidated damages valued
at $106,513. The Company issued 931 shares in April 2009 as partial payment for
these liquidated damages valued at $791. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, $25,422
and $26,213 of these damages remained in accrued expenses. The Company issued
94,952 shares in February 2008 as a partial payment in the amount of $110,147
for the July 1 and October 1, 2007 interest payments.





The
Company did not meet the August 18, 2007 date to file a second registration
statement. As a result, the Company incurred additional liquidated damages for
the period August 18 through December 19, 2007 of $194,603.  The
Company received from the holders of the 2006 Debentures a third Consent and
Waiver, dated February 13, 2008 and amended on August 19, 2008. The third
Consent and Waiver waived the requirement included in the 2006 Debentures and
the Registration Rights Agreement that the Company file a second registration
statement, waived the liquidated damages that accrued from and after December
19, 2007 and waived the payment of any interest that would have accrued on the
liquidated damages. The holders of the 2006 Debentures agreed to accept either
additional debentures or shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.85 per
share instead of cash as payment for the interest due on January 1, 2008
and as payment of the liquidated damages accrued prior to December 19, 2007
under the Registration Rights Agreement. In September 2008, the Company issued
$64,422 in additional unsecured convertible 10% debentures (“2006 Unsecured
Debentures”)  as payment of liquidated damages, which included $4,422
of penalty interest, and $26,868 in 2006 Unsecured Debentures as payment for
quarterly interest due on January 1, 2008, which included $1,868 of penalty
interest. The 2006 Unsecured Debentures had a term of 18 months and are
convertible at $0.85 per share.  During October and December 2008, the
Company issued $349,494 in 2006 Unsecured Debentures as payment of liquidated
damages, quarterly interest, and penalty interest.  The Company issued
3,750 shares in December 2008 as partial payment for these liquidated damages
valued at $3,750. The Company issued 5,567 shares in April 2009 as final payment
for $4,732 in liquidated damages. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, $0 and $4,732
remained in accrued expenses, respectively.





According
to the terms of the 2006 Debentures, the Company is to make interest payments
quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 until September 2009, when
the principal amount and all accrued but unpaid interest will be due. On
September 22, 2008 the Company received from the holders of the 2006 Debentures
a fourth Consent and Waiver of defaults of the 2006 Debentures. The holders of
the 2006 Debentures agreed to accept either additional debentures or shares of
the Company’s common stock at $0.85 per share instead of cash as
payment for the interest due on April 1, July 1, and October 1, 2008, totaling
$205,207.  In August 2008, certain holders of the 2006 Debentures
converted $8,694 of accrued interest into 8,694 shares of common stock as more
fully described below. The Company issued 6,250 shares in December 2008 as
partial payment for $6,250 in interest. The Company failed to make the interest
payments that were due on January 1, April 1, and July 1 2009, totaling
$126,614. The Company issued 9,281 shares in April 2009 as partial payment for
$7,886 in interest. In May 2009, the Company paid $56,575 for quarterly
interest, which included $3,810 of penalty interest.  In September
2009, the Company paid $47,614 for quarterly interest. At December 31, 2009 and
2008, $69,982 and $109,946 remained in accrued interest on the 2006 Debentures,
respectively.





The
holders of certain shares and warrants for the purchase of common stock issued
in conjunction with the sale of the Company’s Secured Convertible Promissory
Notes during the period from November 2005 through March 2006, which were
converted on September 12, 2006, also have certain registration rights. These
holders agreed to defer their rights to require registration of their securities
on the registration statement the Company filed; however, they have maintained
the rights to piggyback on future registration statements filed by the
Company.





The
Company has accounted for the 2006 Debentures according to FASB ASC Topic 470,
“Debt.” The value of the 2006
Debentures was allocated between the 2006 Debentures, the registration rights
arrangement and the warrants, including the discount, which amounted to $63,689,
$111,897 and $3,067,792, respectively. The discount of $3,179,689 related to the
registration rights arrangement and the warrants, including the discount, is
being amortized over the term of the 2006 Debentures. The Company amortized
$477,282 and $1,071,060 to interest expense for the years ended December 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively, including the acceleration of amortization due to
conversions discussed below.

In
addition, as part of the transaction, the Company paid $217,000, issued
1,000,515 shares of common stock in November 2006 valued at $1,000,515 and
issued 217,000 unit purchase options with each unit consisting of 1 share of
common stock and a warrant to purchase 1 share of common stock for $1.00 per
share in November 2006. The unit purchase options were valued at $374,531 using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model. These costs, totaling $1,592,046, are
being amortized over the term of the 2006 Debentures. The Company recorded
amortization of $238,605 and $535,448 to interest expense, including the
acceleration of amortization due to conversions discussed below, related to the
2006 Debentures during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.





During
2008, certain holders of the 2006 Debentures converted $781,408 of principal and
$15,468 of accrued interest, accrued liquidated damages and penalty interest
into 796,876 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share and 86,601 warrants to
purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.25 per share.





During
2009, certain holders of the 2006 Debentures converted $2,001,970 of principal
into 2,001,970 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share.





During
2009, certain holders of the 2006 Unsecured Debentures converted $440,784 of
principal into 518,574 shares of common stock at $0.85 per share.





As of
December 31, 2009, all of the holders of the 2006 Debentures and 2006 Unsecured
Debentures have converted the outstanding principal amount to shares of common
stock and all of the related note discount and debt issuance costs have been
amortized to interest expense.





On
November 21, 2008, the Company entered into a fifth Consent and Waiver agreement
whereby the holders of the 2006 Debentures agreed to allow the Company to sell
up to $1,200,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10% Convertible
Promissory Notes (“2008 Convertible Notes”), due eleven months from the date of
issuance and convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of
$1.25 per share. In consideration of the waiver and the consent provided by the
holders, the Company agreed to accelerate the maturity date of the 2006
Unsecured Debentures to September 12, 2009 and the Company agreed and
acknowledged that the 2006 warrant shares and the shares of common stock
underlying the 2006 Unsecured Debentures issued or issuable to each of the
holders in payment of interest and liquidated damages pursuant to prior consent
and waiver agreements shall carry “piggyback” registration rights.





Per the
Consent and Waiver discussed above, in November and December 2008, the Company
entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, that also included registration
rights, with certain accredited investors to which it sold 2008 Convertible
Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $845,000, which may be converted at
the price of $1.25 per share (subject to adjustment as discussed below) into an
aggregate of 676,000 shares of common stock.  In conjunction with the
sale of the 2008 Convertible Notes, the Company issued common stock purchase
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 338,000 shares of common stock at $1.25 per
share and paid its placement agent a total of $50,700 in commissions and issued
to its placement agent a five-year warrant to purchase an additional 50,700
shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $1.25 per share,
valued at $47,498 using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model.   In January 2009, the Company completed the sale and
issuance of the Company’s 2008 Convertible Notes. Accordingly, the Company
received additional gross proceeds of $355,000, which may be converted at the
price of $1.25 per share (subject to adjustment as discussed below) into an
aggregate of 284,000 shares of common stock.  In conjunction with the
sale of the 2008 Convertible Notes, the Company issued common stock purchase
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 142,000 shares of common stock at $1.25 per
share and paid its placement agent a total of $21,300 in commissions and issued
to its placement agent a five-year warrant to purchase an additional 21,300
shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $1.25 per share,
valued at $18,197 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.





If,
during the time that the 2008 Convertible Notes are outstanding, the Company
sells or grants any option to purchase (other than options issued to its
employees, officers, directors or consultants), or sells or grants any right to
re-price its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue any common stock or
common stock equivalents entitling any person to acquire shares of our common
stock at a price per share that is lower than the conversion price of these
notes, then the conversion price of the 2008 Convertible Notes will be reduced
according to the following weighted average formula:  the conversion
price will be multiplied by a fraction the denominator of which will be the
number of shares of common stock outstanding on the date of the issuance plus
the number of additional shares of common stock offered for purchase and the
numerator of which will be the number of shares of common stock outstanding on
the date of such issuance plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering
price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at the conversion
price.  A reduction in the conversion price resulting from the
foregoing would allow holders of the Company’s 2008 Convertible Notes to receive
more than 960,000 shares of its common stock upon conversion of the outstanding
principal amount.  In that case, an investment in the Company’s common
stock would be diluted to a greater extent than it would be if no adjustment to
the conversion price were required to be made. During August 2009, the Company
received a waiver from the holders of the 2008 Convertible Notes pursuant to
which they forever waived, as of and after April 1, 2009, any and all conversion
or exercise price adjustments that would otherwise occur, or would have
otherwise occurred on or after April 1, 2009, as a result of this
provision.

Under the
terms of the Registration Rights Agreement executed in conjunction with the
offering, the Company was obligated to file a registration statement with the
SEC covering the resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the 2008
Convertible Notes and the exercise of the common stock purchase
warrants  The Company was required to file the registration statement
no later than 60 days following the final closing date of the sale and issuance
of the 2008 Convertible Notes and warrants, and must use its best efforts to
cause the registration statement to become effective no later than 120 days

obligated to pay the holders of the 2008 Convertible Notes liquidated damages
equal to 1% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2008 Convertible Notes
for every 30-day period of delinquency, up to a maximum of 10%. The Company
would have been required to pay any such liquidated damages in cash or its
common stock valued at the average volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) for
the five trading days preceding the applicable due date, provided such average
VWAP exceeds $1.00 per share. On May 1, 2009, the Company received a Consent and
Waiver from the holders of the 2008 Convertible Notes waiving all liquidated
damages under the Registration Rights Agreement.





The

In
addition, as part of the transaction, the Company paid to the placement agent
$72,000 and issued common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of

the 2008 Convertible Notes.  The Company recorded amortization of
$125,092 and $12,603 to interest expense during the years ended December 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively.

$300,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10% Convertible
Promissory Notes (“2009 10% Convertible Notes”), due five months from the date
of issuance and convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of
$1.75 per share.  Subsequent to the execution of the Consent and
Waiver, in May 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with certain accredited investors to which it sold 2009 10% Convertible Notes in
the aggregate principal amount of $300,000, which may be converted into an
aggregate of 171,429 shares of common stock.  In conjunction with the
sale of the 2009 10% Convertible Notes, the Company paid its placement agent a
total of $12,000 in commissions. The Company recorded amortization of $12,000 to
interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2009.





The total
value of the 2009 10% Convertible Notes was allocated between the 2009 10%

7.41% Senior Secured
Original Issue Discount Notes




During
2007, the Company sold $864,000 in face amount of its 7.41% Senior Secured
Original Issue Discount Notes (“7.41% Notes”) and warrants to purchase 400,000
shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $800,000. The 7.41%
Notes are due one year from issuance with interest at 7.41% payable at maturity.
One warrant to purchase 5 shares of the Company’s common stock was issued for
every $10 of purchase price paid. The warrants may be exercised at a price of
$1.20 per share for a period of 5 years beginning nine months after issuance of
the warrant. Pursuant to the warrant agreements, if the Company issues common
stock or common stock equivalents at a price lower than the warrant exercise
price (the “Base Share Price”), then the warrant exercise price will be reduced
to equal the Base Share Price and the number of warrant shares issuable will be
increased so that the aggregate exercise price, after taking into account the
decrease, will be equal to the aggregate exercise price prior to the adjustment.
During August 2009, the Company received a waiver from the holders of the 7.41%
Notes pursuant to which they forever waived, as of and after April 1, 2009, any
and all conversion or exercise price adjustments that would otherwise occur, or
would have otherwise occurred on or after April 1, 2009, as a result of this
provision. The Company has accounted for the debentures according to FASB ASC
Topic 470, “Debt.” The value of the 7.41%
Notes was allocated between the original issue discount (“OID”), the warrants
and the debentures which amounted to $64,000, $242,352 and $557,648,
respectively. The discount related to the OID and warrants of $306,352 will be
amortized over the one year term of the 7.41% Notes. The warrants issued in
connection with the 7.41% Notes were valued using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model.





The
Company recorded $0 and $158,702 of interest expense related to the amortization
of the discount related to the 7.41% Notes and warrants for the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.





As part
of the second Consent and Waiver described above, the holders of the Debentures
agreed to allow the Company to sell the $864,000 face amount of 7.41% Notes in
exchange for warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The warrants were valued at $128,038
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. These costs were recorded as
deferred financing costs and will be amortized over the term of the 7.41% Notes.
As part of the issuance of the 7.41% Notes certain officers of the Company
transferred to Oceana Partners and Carlin Capital 400,000 shares of common stock
valued at $1.00 per share. The value of $400,000 was recorded as deferred
financing cost and was amortized over the term of the 7.41% Notes. The transfer
of shares from the officers was recorded in additional paid-in
capital.

The
Company recorded amortization of deferred financing costs of $0 and $154,011 to
interest expense related to the 7.41% Notes during the years ended December 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively.




Pursuant
to the Registration Rights Agreement the Company signed in connection with the
offering of the 7.41% Notes, the Company was required to register 125% of the
number of shares underlying the related warrants. The Company was required to
file a registration statement for this purpose within 180 days following the
date that the units were sold, and the Company would be in default of the
Registration Rights Agreement if it failed to file the registration statement
within 30 days following the expiration of the 180 day period. The Company
obtained a Consent and Waiver from the holders of the 7.41% Notes in relation to
the liquidated damages under the Registration Rights Agreement.  As
more fully described below the Company issued 19,616 shares for payment of
$19,616 of liquidated damages in 2008. In 2009, the Company issued 19,143 shares
for final payment of $19,143 of liquidated damages. As of December 31, 2009 and
2008, the Company has recorded $0 and $19,143 in accrued expenses,
respectively.





During
2008, certain holders of the 7.41% Notes converted their notes in the face
amount of $675,000 plus accrued interest of $50,133 and penalties of $19,616
into 744,749 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase
558,557 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per
share.  As the Company’s negotiated conversion was at a price per
share identical to the units described in Note 5, no gain or loss was recorded
upon the conversion. The Company issued 67,027 warrants to purchase shares of
common stock at $1.00 per share for a term of five years, valued at $81,723 per
the Black Scholes pricing model, to the placement agent for this
conversion.





During
June 2008, the Company repaid $189,000 in principal amount of the 7.41% Notes.
At December 31, 2008 all of the 7.41% Notes were converted or paid in

Note Payable to
Shareholder




In March
2008, Gary Guseinov pledged 750,000 shares of his common stock in CyberDefender
Corporation to Michael and Casey DeBaecke in exchange for a loan of $160,000
made to the Company. The pledge was non-recourse to Mr. Guseinov in the event
the collateral was foreclosed upon due to the Company’s failure to pay the loan.
So long as there was no event of default in connection with the loan, Mr.
Guseinov could continue to vote the shares at any annual or special meeting of
the shareholders. The loan was due to be repaid on the earlier of two months
from signing of the loan document or two days following the Company’s receipt of
over $500,000 in new equity capital following the date of the promissory note
evidencing the loan. Additionally, the Company issued warrants to purchase
40,000 shares of the Company’s stock. The warrants may be exercised at a price
of $1.25 per share for a period of 5 years. The discount related to the warrants
of $36,092 was amortized to interest expense during 2008. The warrants issued in
connection with the note were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model. The loan plus accrued interest was paid in full on July 30, 2008 and the
pledge cancelled.

Operating
Leases




The
Company’s primary offices are in Los Angeles, California.  The Company
entered into a lease on October 19, 2007 which commenced on March 24, 2008 for
approximately 4,742 rentable square feet of office space with a term of
sixty-two months. On October 9, 2009, the Company entered into a second
amendment of its lease with its current landlord to relocate and to occupy
approximately 16,000 square feet in the building to accommodate growth. The
lease calls for a base monthly rent of $35,060 with annual increases of 3% plus
common area expenses with a term of ten years.  The Company’s rent on
its original space was abated beginning July 1, 2009 and the abatement continues
on the new space for a period of fourteen (14) months from the date the Company
began to occupy the new space, which was February 1, 2010, as long as the
Company abides by all the terms and conditions of the lease and if no event of
default occurs. In the event the Company fails to abide by all the terms and
conditions of the lease or an event of default occurs the Company shall
reimburse the landlord for the abated rent along with interest. Aside from the
monthly rent, the Company is required to pay its share of common operating
expenses.





The

Employment
Agreements




In
January 2009, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Kevin Harris
pursuant to which Mr. Harris will act as Chief Financial Officer. The agreement
is for two years and unless terminated within that period will renew for
successive one year periods until terminated. Mr. Harris receives compensation
of $190,000 per year plus a car allowance of $750 per month. The Company also
granted Mr. Harris a 10-year option to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock
at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, vesting as follows:  25,000
of the option shares vested upon grant; 25,000 of the option shares vested three
months after the grant date; and the balance of 150,000 option shares vests in
equal monthly increments over the term of his employment agreement. Per the
agreement, in 2009, Mr. Harris earned quarterly performance bonuses equal to 25%
of his base salary plus additional options to purchase a total of 100,000 shares
of common stock, subject to vesting conditions over a two-year period, upon the
achievement of certain goals. At December 31, 2009, $22,500 of Mr. Harris’ bonus
remains unpaid and is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying balance
sheets. In addition to the foregoing, Mr Harris was granted an additional bonus
of $25,000 for the Company’s exceptional increase in sales over the prior fiscal
year and the closing of several financings.





On August
31, 2006, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Gary Guseinov
pursuant to which Mr. Guseinov will act as Chief Executive Officer. The
agreement is for three years and unless terminated within that period will renew
for successive one year periods until terminated. Mr. Guseinov receives
compensation of $225,000 per year and is entitled to participate in any bonus
compensation plan the Company adopts from time to time, so long as any such
bonus does not exceed more than 50% of his base salary for any 12-month
period. Per the agreement, in 2009, Mr. Guseinov earned quarterly
performance bonuses equal to 50% of his base salary. At December 31, 2009,
$61,889 of Mr. Guseinov’s bonus remains unpaid and is included in accrued
expenses on the accompanying balance sheets. In addition to the foregoing, Mr
Guseinov was granted an additional bonus of $25,000 for the Company’s
exceptional increase in sales over the prior fiscal year and the closing of
several financings.





On July
1, 2008, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Igor Barash
pursuant to which Mr. Barash will act as Chief Product Officer. The agreement is
for eighteen months. Mr. Barash receives compensation of $140,000 per year and
is entitled to an increase in salary if certain goals are met and may be due
commissions and bonuses if certain goals are met. The agreement also granted Mr.
Barash an option to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.00
per share vesting over four years. Per the agreement, in 2009, Mr. Barash’s
salary was increased to $175,000 annually and Mr. Barash was granted a bonus of
$25,000 for the Company’s exceptional increase in sales over the prior fiscal
year and the closing of several financings.





On
November 30, 2006, the Company entered into temporary deferred salary
arrangements with Mr. Guseinov, Mr. Liu and Mr. Barash in which they agreed to
defer 50% of their salaries each pay period. This arrangement with Mr. Liu was
terminated on June 30, 2007.  This arrangement with Mr.
Guseinov and Mr. Barash was terminated on December 16, 2007. The Company
had accrued $0 and $36,281 of deferred compensation relating to these
arrangements as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.





Litigation




In the
ordinary course of business, the Company may face various claims brought by
third parties and the Company may, from time to time, make claims or take legal
actions to assert its rights, including intellectual property rights as well as
claims relating to employment and the safety or efficacy of its products. Any of
these claims could subject the Company to costly litigation and, while the
Company generally believes that it has adequate insurance to cover many
different types of liabilities, the Company’s insurance carriers may deny
coverage or the Company’s policy limits may be inadequate to fully satisfy any
damage awards or settlements. If this were to happen, the payment of any such
awards could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations, cash
flows and financial position. Additionally, any such claims, whether or not
successful, could damage the Company’s reputation and business. Management
believes the outcome of currently pending claims and lawsuits will not likely
have a material effect on the Company’s operations or financial
position.




Guarantees and
Indemnities




During
the normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities and
guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to
certain transactions. These indemnities include certain agreements with the
Company’s officers, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such
person for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship. The
duration of these indemnities and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, is
indefinite. The majority of these indemnities and guarantees do not provide for
any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be
obligated to make. The Company hedges some of the risk associated with these
potential obligations by carrying general liability insurance. Historically, the
Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these
obligations and no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and
guarantees in the accompanying statement of financial position.

NOTE
9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)





Beginning
on October 30, 2006 and at various times thereafter, the Company entered into
Indemnification Agreements with its directors and certain of its officers, all
of whom are sometimes collectively referred to in this discussion as the
“indemnified parties” or individually referred to as an “indemnified party”. The
agreements require us to provide indemnification for the indemnified parties for
expenses (including attorneys’ fees, expert fees, other professional fees and
court costs, and fees and expenses incurred in connection with any appeals),
judgments (including punitive and exemplary damages), penalties, fines and
amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by us,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably
incurred by the indemnified parties in connection with any threatened, pending
or completed action or proceeding (including actions brought on our behalf, such
as shareholder derivative actions), whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, to which he is or was a party, a witness or other participant (or
is threatened to be made a party, a witness or other participant) by reason of
the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of ours or of
any of our subsidiaries. The indemnification covers any action or inaction on
the part of the indemnified party while he was an officer or director or by
reason of the fact that he is or was serving at our request as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise.  In the event of any change, after the date
of the Indemnification Agreements, in any applicable law, statute or rule which
expands the right of a California corporation to indemnify a member of its board
of directors or an officer, such changes shall be within the purview of the
indemnified parties’ rights and the Company’s obligations under the
Indemnification Agreements.





The
Indemnification Agreements are effective as of the date they were signed and may
apply to acts or omissions of the indemnified parties which occurred prior to
such date if the indemnified party was an officer, director, employee or other
agent of the Company, or was serving at the Company’s request as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, at the time such act or omission
occurred.  All obligations under the Indemnification Agreements will
continue as long as an indemnified party is subject to any actual or possible
matter which is the subject of the Indemnification Agreement, notwithstanding an
indemnified party’s termination of service as an officer or
director.

issuance, provided that the note shall not be convertible during the first 180
days after its issuance.  If the note is not repaid within the first
180 days, then it would become convertible into common stock at $3.50 per
share.  CyberDefender would have the right to prepay the note without
penalty during the first 180 days.
