 General Information
 
 CommerceTel Corporation (the “Company” or “we”) is a provider of technology that enables major brands and enterprises to engage consumers via their mobile phone. Interactive electronic communications with consumers is a complex process involving communication networks and software. We remove this complexity through our suite of services and technologies thereby enabling brands, marketers, and content owners to communicate with their customers and consumers in general. From Presidential elections to major broadcast events, we are pioneers in the deployment of the mobile channel as the ultimate direct connection to the consumer.
 
 Mobile phone users represent a large and captive audience. While televisions, radios, and even PCs are often shared by multiple consumers, mobile phones are personal devices representing a unique and individual address to the end user. We believe that the future of digital media will be driven by mobile phones where a direct, personal conversation can be had with the world’s largest audience. The future of mobile includes banking, commerce, advertising, video, games and just about every other aspect of both on and offline life. Over four million consumers have been engaged via their mobile device thanks to our technology.
 
 We believe that our mobile marketing and advertising campaign platform is among the most advanced in the industry as it allows real time interactive communications with consumers. We generate revenue from licensing our software to clients in our software as a service (Saas) model, per-message and per minute transactional fees, and customized professional services.

 Table of Contents
  Our “C4” Mobile Marketing and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform is a hosted solution enabling our clients to develop, execute, and manage a variety of engagements to a consumer’s mobile phone. Short Messaging Service (SMS), Multi-Media Messaging (MMS), and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) interactions can all be facilitated via a set of Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). Reporting and analytics capabilities are also available to our users through the C4 solution.
 
 Mobile devices are emerging as the principal interactive channel for brands to reach consumers since it is the only media platform that has access to the consumer virtually anytime and anywhere. Brands and advertising agencies are recognizing the unique benefits of the mobile channel and they are increasingly integrating mobile media within their overall advertising and marketing campaigns. Our objective is to become the industry leader in connecting brands and enterprises to consumers’ mobile phones.
 
 Company Strategy
 
 Our objective is to build an industry-leading mobile marketing company through a combination of organic and acquired growth.  The key elements to our strategy are:
 
 ·
Exploit the competitive advantages and operating leverage of our technology platform.The core of our business is our proprietary, enterprise-grade C4 technology platform.  We believe that the C4 platform is more advanced than technologies offered by our competitors and provides us with a significant competitive advantage.  The platform is also highly scalable and capable of supporting substantial growth of our business.
 
 ·
Expand our sales and customer support infrastructure.We have historically focused our efforts on development of our technology and solutions.  Going forward, we intend to increase significantly our investments in sales and customer support.
 
 ·
Acquire complementary businesses and technologies.Our future growth will largely depend upon our ability to acquire and integrate complementary businesses.  We have identified hundreds of companies operating in the mobile marketing industry.  Most are privately owned and have relatively modest revenues and limited exit options.  We believe that the combination of our award-winning technology platform and the “currency” of our publicly traded common stock will make us an attractive alternative for many of these companies.We target companies with the following characteristics:  (1) an established revenue base, (2) strong pipeline and growth prospects. (3) break-even or positive cash flow, (4) opportunities for substantial expense reductions through integration into our platform, (5) strong sales teams, and (6) technology and services that further build out and differentiate our platform.
 
 ·
Build our intellectual property portfolio.  We currently have three patents pending and recently acquired an issued patent that we believe have significant potential application in the mobile marketing industry.  We plan to continue our investment in building a strong intellectual property portfolio.
 
 While these are the key elements of our current strategy, there can be no guarantees that our strategy will not change, or that we will succeed in achieving these goals.

  Company Background
 
 CommerceTel Corporation, a Nevada corporation, formerly Ares Ventures Corporation, was an exploration stage company with no revenues and a limited operating history until November 2010.
 
 Share Exchange
 
 On November 2, 2010, we completed the acquisition of CommerceTel, Inc., in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Share Exchange”).  Please refer to Note 1 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  Our current operations are conducted entirely by CommerceTel, Inc.
 
 In anticipation of the transaction, effective October 5, 2010, we changed our name from Ares Ventures Corporation to CommerceTel Corporation.
 
 Bridge Note Financing
 
 On November 2, 2010, we issued to a number of accredited investors a series of our 10% Senior Secured Convertible Bridge Note (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “Financing”). The Notes accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The entire principal amount of the Notes plus all accrued and unpaid interest is due on the earlier of (i) the date we complete a financing transaction for the offer and sale of shares of our common stock (including securities convertible into or exercisable for our common stock), in an aggregate amount of no less than 125% of the principal amounts evidenced by the Notes (a “Qualifying Financing”), or (ii) November 3, 2011. On the maturity date of the Notes, in addition to the repayment of the principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest, we will issue to each holder of the Notes, at each such holder’s option, (i) three year warrants to purchase that number of shares of our common stock equal to the principal amount of (plus all accrued and unpaid interest on) the Notes held by the holder divided by the per share purchase price of the common stock offered and sold in the Qualifying Financing (the “Offering Price”) which warrants shall be exercisable at the Offering Price, or (ii) that number of shares of common stock equal to the product arrived at by multiplying (x) the principal amount of (plus all accrued and unpaid interest on) the Notes held by the holder, divided by the Offering Price and (y) 0.33.  Our obligations under the Notes are secured by all of our assets, including all shares of CommerceTel, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary.
 
 Txtstation Acquisition
 
 On April 1, 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets of the Txtstation interactive mobile marketing platform and services business from Adsparq Limited (“Adsparq”).  The purchase price for the acquisition was 2,125,000 shares of our common stock and $300,000 in cash.  Of the cash portion, $50,000 was paid at closing, with an additional $25,000 payable on the 60th day following closing.  The balance is payable in $25,000 installments at the end of each of the next nine 30-day periods thereafter.  We assumed none of Adsparq’s liabilities in the transaction.  For a period of one year following the closing of the transaction, half of the shares of common stock issued to Adsparq will be held in escrow as security for Adsparq’s obligations under the agreement.
 
 In connection with the transaction, we also issued 300,000 shares of our common stock to the controlling stockholder of Adsparq in consideration of certain indemnification obligations and other agreements.  For one year following the closing of the transaction,  the shareholder has agreed not to, directly or indirectly, transfer, donate, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate, grant a security interest in or otherwise dispose or attempt to dispose of all or any portion of shares issued to it (or any interest therein).  As a result of the transaction, our headcount increased by seven full time employees and one part time employee on April 1, 2011.

  mHealth Technology License
 
 On March 18, 2011, we entered into a binding letter of intent with a global health company for the license of one of our mobile communications software technology platforms for the sole purpose of developing, delivering and sublicensing mobile health and medicine applications.  The letter of intent expires July 1, 2011 and may be terminated without obligation or liability by mutual agreement of the parties.
 
 The letter of intent provides for the execution of a master services agreement between the parties, and an upfront nonrefundable prepayment to us of $50,000 for a one year license to the Company’s C4 platform.  This payment was received March 28, 2011.  On or before June 30, 2011, we may receive an exclusivity payment of $450,000 and 1.07 million shares of the global health company in consideration for our not granting any other person or entity a license to our software technology platform for the delivery of mobile health and medicine applications, subject to undefined milestones and minimum payments.  If this exclusivity payment is made prior to June 30, 2011, the parties agree to set license fees payable to mutually agreeable levels, and the global health company agrees to invest a minimum of $1,000,000 over an 18 month period for the development of mobile health and medicine applications.
 
 March / April 2011 Private Placement
 
 We commenced a private placement in late March 2011, and believe the process will continue until late April 2011. As of April 12, 2011, we have raised gross proceeds of $445,000. The private placement structure consists of a series of identical subscription agreements offering subscribers an opportunity to invest in units comprised of shares of our common stock at a price of $1.50 per share and an equivalent number of warrants at an exercise price of $2.00. Both the shares and the warrants are price protected by us. The price protection obligates us to issue to the investors an additional number of shares in the event that common shares are issued at a price below $1.50 until the shares become freely trading.
 
 Mobivity Acquisition
 
 On April 8, 2011, we entered into an acquisition agreement with Mobivity, LLC and Mobile Visions, Inc. to acquire the assets of their Mobivity interactive mobile marketing platform and services business.  We concurrently completed the acquisition effective as of April 1, 2011.
 
 The purchase price for the acquisition was 1,000,000 shares of our common stock, $64,969 in cash paid at closing and a secured subordinated promissory note of CommerceTel, Inc. (our wholly owned subsidiary) in the principal amount of $606,054.  The promissory note earns interest at 6.25% per annum; is payable in six quarterly installments of $105,526.42 (inclusive of interest) starting May 1, 2011; matures on August 1, 2012; is secured by the acquired assets of the Mobivity business; and is subordinated to our obligations under our outstanding 10% Senior Secured Convertible Bridge Notes Due November 3, 2011.
 
 Industry Background
 
 The area of our business consists of advertising and marketing. While advertising raises awareness and fosters positive perceptions of a product, service or company through brand-building or individually-targeted campaigns, marketing activities occur once the consumer decides to interact with the brand, and are focused on convincing the consumer to take action, for example request information, opt-in to a campaign, or make a purchase.
 
 The Mobile Marketing Association, the premier global non-profit trade association in the area of mobile marketing, has defined mobile marketing as a set of practices that enables organizations to communicate and engage with their audience in an interactive and relevant manner through any mobile device or network. Mobile marketing is commonly known as wireless marketing.
  -4-
 Table of Contents
  Mobile advertising is a rapidly growing business providing brands, agencies and marketers the opportunity to connect with consumers beyond traditional and digital media directly on their mobile phones. Today’s mobile phones are utilized for more than just making and receiving calls. Besides voice services, mobile users have access to data services such Short Message Service (SMS), also known as text messaging, picture messaging, content downloads and the Mobile Web. These media channels carry both content and advertising. The mobile phone is an extremely personal device as each mobile phone typically has one unique user.  This makes the mobile phone a precisely targeted communication channel, where users are highly engaged with content.  As a result, the mobile channel is a highly effective campaign tool and its response levels are high compared to other media. Mobile is valuable as a stand-alone medium for advertising, but it is also well suited for a vital role in fully integrated cross-media campaign plans, including TV, print, radio, outdoor, cinema, online and direct mail. We believe that the future of digital media will be driven by mobile phones where a direct, personal conversation can be had with the world’s largest network. The future of mobile includes banking, commerce, advertising, video, games and just about every other aspect of both on and offline life.
 
 Mobile advertising campaigns may use multiple channels to reach the consumer, including Mobile Web sites, mobile applications, mobile messaging and mobile video, all of which can be integrated into interactive campaigns. Each channel can link to additional mobile content or channels, as well as to complementing traditional media. Mobile advertising provides a powerful, instant and interactive response path in that consumers may send a keyword to a short code via SMS, or register on a Mobile Web site.
 
 Mobile Web
 
 The Mobile Web is quickly emerging as a mainstream information, entertainment and transaction source for people on the move and away from a PC.  Browsing the Mobile Web is similar to traditional PC-based Web browsing and provides users with access to news, sports, weather, entertainment and shopping sites.  However, there are some significant differences between PC based access and phone-based access:
 
 ·
The mobile phone is a targeted device with typically only one user.  This enable the delivery of relevant communications causing users to become engaged immediately with campaigns and content resulting in increased campaign effectiveness.
 
 ·
Mobile phones do not permit detailed search and delivery.  Rather, mobile users will usually seek quick access to succinct information and services. Space on mobile phone screens is at a premium, and users have limited input mechanisms, so Mobile Web sites need to be easy to navigate using just the mobile phone keypad.
 
 ·
Mobile phones have a broad range of different form factors, screen sizes and resolutions, all of which presents a challenge for the display and optimal viewing of content and advertising.
 
 Mobile Messaging
 
 Mobile messaging technology enables users to communicate in a so-called asynchronous manner, where messages are stored in the network and delivered to the recipient as soon as the recipient’s mobile phone can receive it.  Once delivered, the message is stored on the users’ mobile phone.  SMS (Short Messaging Service) allows a mobile user to send and receive a text message of up to 160 characters and across virtually any operator network.  This service is also referred to as “text messaging” or “texting”.  All recent mobile phone models support SMS.  As a result, the large installed base of SMS phones creates a large addressable market for SMS-based mobile marketing campaigns.  MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) is the rich media equivalent to SMS text messages.  An MMS message can include graphics, photos, audio and video, in addition to text. MMS is not yet universally supported by all networks, however this market segment is growing.  SMS and MMS services are together referred to as “mobile messaging” or “messaging”. The stickiness of Mobile Messaging, the enormous reach of SMS and the rich media capabilities of MMS make this channel a highly rewarding advertising opportunity.

 Table of Contents
  Mobile messaging represents an opportunity for advertising placement. Media publishers are using messaging to distribute mobile content. Businesses are providing consumer services through mobile messaging. These messages provide inventory into which advertisements can be inserted. In addition, it is now possible to purchase advertising in personal – person-to-person (P2P) – SMS and MMS messages.
 
 Mobile devices have become one of the most widely used means of communication globally. Significant technological advancements have and are continuing to provide mobile users with increased access to features previously available only on PCs, such as Internet browsing, email and social networking. As mobile devices have evolved, they have begun to enable brands and advertising agencies to interact with consumers virtually anytime and anywhere, optimizing engagement with other traditional media while lowering the cost of customer acquisition and retention.
 As a result, mobile devices have emerged as an important media method for brands and advertising agencies to interact with consumers. According to ABI Research, mobile marketing and advertising spending is expected to increase from $1.64 billion in 2007 to nearly $29 billion in 2014.
 
 The CommerceTel Solution
 
 We remove three technical barriers to achieve the ultimate goal of engaging the consumer via their mobile devices:
 
 ●
Multimodal Communication: Cell phones are used for voice conversations, to take pictures, sending and receiving SMS text messages, and several other tasks. Marketers and enterprises need to include multiple communication modalities when interacting with the mobile consumer.  Engaging only one channel to the mobile consumer, for example SMS text messaging, will only result in a partial engagement with the consumer.  We solve this problem via our carrier-grade integrated infrastructure delivering access to all modes of mobile communication from SMS to MMS to IVR and beyond.
 
 ●
Campaign Design and Management.The ability to conceptualize, create, and execute mobile marketing campaigns or enterprise applications in an efficient manner is affected by software and tools available at any given time.  Fragmented tool sets, costly service models, and prolonged time-to-market will impede and impair the growth of the industry.  Our Web-based solution, “C4”, is a unified services creation environment that enables brands and enterprises to create, manage, and report on campaigns through a set of hosted Web tools.
 
 ●
Analytics.Fragmented analytic solutions (i.e. the lack of a uniform tool set used to analyze mobile consumers’ preferences) only provide insights into disparate modalities of the mobile channel.  For example, a Mobile Web analytics solution reveals a consumer’s Internet consumption while neglecting that same consumer’s SMS and Voice related activities. Our patent pending “Personalization Engine” leverages an innovative approach to gaining deep insight into mobile consumer activities and their associated profiles.
  Our Principal Competitive Strength
    ·
Proprietary Technology:  Our proprietary, patent pending technology enables our customers to reach across all mobile phone interfaces.  We continue to develop, design and deploy enterprise-grade software that we believe is more advanced than technologies developed by our competitors.
  ·
IVR and Voice Capabilities: Our IVR and Voice capabilities allow marketers, content owners, and search operators the freedom of engaging mobile consumers outside of wireless carrier controlled messaging networks.  In many instances our competitors have outsourced business to us to enable IVR features in their service offerings.  This fundamental advantage has allowed us to quickly penetrate major brands.
  -6-
 Table of Contents
  ·
In-house Expertise:  We believe that our primary technical advantage is that we've built most of our systems in-house, relieving us from costly software licensing fees associated with IVR platforms, SMS messaging and other platforms.  For example, IVR software typically ranges from $150 to $1,000 per port, plus annual maintenance and support fees. Our current infrastructure supports over 10,000 IVR ports without any associated IVR licensing costs. In addition, there are unavoidable provisioning times for interconnecting with VOIP (voice over internet protocol) and PSTN (public switched telephone networks) that can take a minimum of 90 days, plus another 30 days for equipment provisioning.
 
 Marketing and Sales
  We believe that a successful marketing campaign addressed to mobile marketing and content operators, particularly large agencies and brands, is largely dependent on strong personal relationships with executives and a solutions-based sales approach. We intend to employ an executive level sales team capable of fostering direct relationships with brands while business development resources will focus on channel partnerships through IT systems integrators and marketing agencies.
  Certain minimum capitalization and financial levels are usually required by large enterprises when seeking technical vendors.  Therefore, we intend to employ a partnership strategy in selling to large enterprises. Partnerships will allow us to sell into larger enterprises during our early growth period by avoiding having to meet these minimum capitalization levels.
  We also intend to employ a small executive level sales team and continue our market leadership position with our large brand name client base establishing credibility and entrée to prospective, targeted accounts across all vertical segments. As key accounts are won, and we begin to scale, our strategy will employ a core "Client Services" team to serve existing clients and drive revenue growth from existing business, while a direct sales force will be tasked with focusing exclusively on new client relationships.
 
 Our Platform
  The ability to conceptualize, create, and execute mobile marketing campaigns or enterprise applications will be directly affected by software and tools available to design and deliver solutions efficiently and effectively. Fragmented tool sets, costly service models, and prolonged time-to-market will impede and impair the growth of the industry.
 
 Our Web-based solution, “C4”, is a unified services creation environment empowering brands and enterprises with the ability to create, manage, and report on campaigns through a set of hosted Web tools.

 Research and Development
 
 We have built a strong internal software development team that has many years of experience in the mobile advertising and marketing industries. As of December 31, 2010, we had three engineers and software developers in our development centers located in San Diego, CA.   Our recent research and development activities have been focused on enhancements to our platform.  Current research and development initiatives continue to focus on extending our technology into payment processing, location based services, application analytics, and other technical opportunities in the evolving mobile industry.
 
 We believe that having a dedicated, highly-trained advanced projects team enables us to effectively address the rapidly evolving mobile marketing and advertising services market.
 
 We expect our total research and development expenditures in calendar year 2011 to be approximately $400,000.
 
 Competition
 
 Although the market for mobile marketing and advertising solutions is relatively new, it is very competitive.  We compete with companies of all sizes in select geographies that offer solutions that compete with single elements of our platform, such as mobile advertising networks, mobile ad serving and ad routing providers, mobile website and content creators, providers of mobile publishing and application development, SMS aggregators or providers of mobile analytics. We compete at times with interactive and traditional advertising agencies that perform mobile marketing and advertising as part of their services to their customers.   Some of these entities have significantly greater resources than we do.
 
 As a result of industry developments, some of our competitors may in the future create an integrated platform with features similar to ours, for example, Google, Inc.'s proposed acquisition of Admob, Inc. which was announced in November 2009, Apple, Inc.'s acquisition of Quattro Wireless, Inc. in January 2010, and the entry of larger companies such as Nokia, AOL, Microsoft and Yahoo! into the mobile media markets. However, we do not compete directly with these companies as we believe we are the only provider of an integrated, end-to-end mobile marketing and mobile advertising platform with a significant global presence.
 
 We believe that the key competitive factors that our customers use in selecting solutions include the availability of:
 
 ·
an integrated, scalable and relatively easy to implement platform that can expand the reach of their future campaigns;
 ·
solutions providing high quality functionality that meet their immediate marketing and advertising needs;
 ·
sophisticated analytics and reporting;
 ·
competitive pricing;
 ·
existing strategic relationships with customers globally;
 ·
high levels of quality service and support; and
 ·
a sophisticated and financially stable provider with a proven track record.
 
 We believe that we compete favorably on each of these factors. Our extensive experience managing global marketing and advertising campaigns, together with experienced professional services to implement and integrate these options globally, provides us with an advantage that many of our competitors lack.
 
 The consolidation of our competitors offering point solutions into larger organizations with increased resources is a recent trend in the industry. The effects of such acquisitions on the market are still unclear.

 Table of Contents
  Seasonality
 
 Our business, as is typical of companies in our industry, is highly seasonal. This is primarily due to traditional marketing and advertising spending being heaviest during the holiday season while brands, advertising agencies, mobile operators and media companies often close out annual budgets towards the end of a given year.  Seasonal trends have historically contributed to, and we anticipate will continue to contribute to fluctuations in our quarterly results, including fluctuations in sequential revenue growth rates.
 
 Intellectual Property
 
 We regard the protection of our developed technologies and intellectual property rights as an important element of our business operations and as crucial to our success.  We rely primarily on a combination of patent laws, trademark laws, copyright laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology. We generally require our employees, consultants and advisors to enter into confidentiality agreements.  These agreements provide that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of the individual's relationship with us is to be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except under specific circumstances. In the case of our employees, the agreements provide that all of the technology which is conceived by the individual during the course of employment is our exclusive property. The development of our technology and many of our processes are dependent upon the knowledge, experience and skills of key scientific and technical personnel.
 
 We did not own any patents on December 31, 2010. However, we have three pending U.S. patent applications. U.S. Provisional Patent Application number 20070249369was filed on April 25, 2007. This patent application is described as a system, method and apparatus for delivering Web content to a mobile telephone or related device by using a dialing code that is provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a user who dials a telephone number, or other dialing code, and subsequently receives content sent to the user's mobile handset. In another embodiment, content is Web content sent to the user's phone via a Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) process.
 
 U.S. Provisional Patent Application number 61/421211 was filed on December 9, 2010.  This patent application describes the Geo-Bio-Metric Pin, a service that authenticates a user from a feature phone or smart phone using a number of mobile attainable attributes: Geolocation, Facial Image, Accelerometer, and text messaging. The end goal of the Geo-Bio-Metric Pin service is to authenticate a user while verifying the following: 1) the user is currently using his/her phone; 2) the user is at the geolocation that their phone is at; 3) the user is not at another location and using their phone through a proxy; and 4) an impostor is not using the phone.
 
 U.S. Provisional Patent Application number 12/983284 was filed on December 8, 2010.  This patent application describes a content delivery method and system comprising receiving, in a first communication mode, a request for information from a mobile device; sending, in the first communication mode, one or more content selection options; receiving, in the first communication mode, a selection in response to the one or more content selection options; and facilitating, in a second communication mode, delivery of content corresponding to the selection to the mobile device.
  In March 2011, we acquired US Patent number 6788769 B1 which covers a method and system for using telephone numbers as a key to address email and online content without the use of a lookup database. Using this system, a phone number is used to access a website or an email address in exactly the same way it is used to dial a telephone.
 
 Any future patents that may issue may not survive a legal challenge to their scope, validity or enforceability, or provide significant protection for us. The failure of our patents, or our reliance upon copyright and trade secret laws to adequately protect our technology might make it easier for our competitors to offer similar products or technologies. In addition, patents may not issue from any of our current or any future applications.

  Employees
 
 As of April 13, 2011, we had thirteen full-time employees, one part-time employee and three contract employees. Sales, marketing, and business development functions are provided by eight full time employees. Engineering and research and development functions are provided by three full time employees, one part-time employee and two contract employees. General administration, finance, and executive management consist of two full time employees and one consultant.
 Government Regulation
 
 Depending on the products and services that they offer, mobile data service providers may be subject to regulations and laws applicable to providers of mobile, Internet and VOIP services both domestically and internationally. In addition, the application of existing domestic and international laws and regulations relating to issues such as user privacy and data protection, defamation, pricing, advertising, taxation, gambling, sweepstakes, promotions, billing, real estate, consumer protection, accessibility, content regulation, quality of services, telecommunications, mobile, television and intellectual property ownership and infringement to wireless industry providers and platforms in many instances is unclear or unsettled. Further, the application of existing laws regulating or requiring licenses for certain businesses of our advertisers can be unclear.
 
 It is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted in the countries where we operate, which may be inconsistent and which could restrict the wireless communications industry, including laws and regulations regarding network management and device interconnection, lawful interception of personal data, taxation, content suitability, copyright, distribution and antitrust. Furthermore, the growth and development of the market for electronic storage of personal information may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws that may impose additional burdens on companies that store personal information. We anticipate that regulation of our industry generally will increase and that we will be required to devote legal and other resources to address this regulation.
 
 We are directly subject to certain regulations and laws applicable to providers of Internet and mobile services both domestically and internationally. The application of existing domestic and international laws and regulations relating to issues such as user privacy and data protection, marketing, advertising, consumer protection and mobile disclosures in many instances is unclear or unsettled.
 
 United States Regulatory Environment
 
 In addition to its regulation of wireless telecommunications providers generally, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, has shown interest in at least three areas that impact our business: research and development with regards to innovation, competition in the wireless industry and consumer protection with an emphasis on truth-in-billing. The FCC has examined, or is currently examining, how and when consumers enroll in mobile services, what types of disclosures consumers receive, what services consumers are purchasing and how much consumers are charged. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, has been asked to regulate how mobile marketers can use consumers' personal information. Consumer advocates claim that many consumers do not know when their information is being collected from cell phones and how such information is retained, used and shared with other companies. Consumer groups have asked the FTC to identify practices that may compromise privacy and consumer welfare; examine opt-in procedures to ensure consumers are aware of what data is at issue and how it will be used; investigate marketing tactics that target children and create policies to halt abusive practices. The FTC has expressed interest in particular in the mobile environment and services that collect sensitive data, such as location-based information.

Deceptive Trade Practice Law in the U.S.    The FTC and state attorneys general are given broad powers by legislatures to curb unfair and deceptive trade practices. These laws and regulations apply to mobile marketing campaigns and behavioral advertising. The general guideline is that all material terms and conditions of the offer must be "clearly and conspicuously" disclosed to the consumer prior to the buying decision. In practice, the definition of clear and conspicuous disclosure is often a subjective determination. The balancing of the desire to capture a potential customer's attention, while providing adequate disclosure, can be even more challenging in the mobile context due to the lack of space.
 
 ·
Behavioral Advertising.    Behavioral advertising is a technique used by online publishers and advertisers to increase the effectiveness of their campaigns. Behavioral advertising uses information collected from an individual's web-browsing behavior, such as the pages they have visited or the searches they have made, to select which advertisements to display to that individual. This data can be valuable for online marketers looking to personalize advertising initiatives or to provide geo-tags through mobile devices. Currently, behavioral advertising is not formally regulated in the U.S., but many businesses adhere to industry self-governing principles, including an opt-out regime whereby information may be collected until an individual indicates that he or she no longer agrees to have this information collected. The FTC and EU member states are considering regulations in this area, which may include implementation of a more rigorous opt-in regime. An opt-in policy would prohibit businesses from collecting and using information from individuals who have not voluntarily consented. Among other things, the implementation of an opt-in regime could require substantial technical support and negatively impact the market for our mobile advertising products and services. A few states have also introduced bills in the past two years that would restrict or prohibit behavioral advertising within the state. These bills would likely have the practical affect of regulating behavioral advertising nationwide because of the difficulties behind implementing state-specific policies or identifying the location of a particular consumer.
 
 ·
Behavioral Advertising-Privacy Regulation.    Our business is affected by U.S. federal and U.S. state, as well as EU member state and foreign country, laws and regulations governing the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of data that we receive from and about our users. In recent years, regulation has focused on the collection, use, disclosure and security of information that may be used to identify or that actually identifies an individual, such as an Internet Protocol address or a name. Although the mobile and Internet advertising privacy practices are currently largely self-regulated in the U.S., the FTC has conducted numerous discussions on this subject and suggested that more rigorous privacy regulation is appropriate, possibly including regulation of non-personally identifiable information which could, with other information, be used to identify an individual. Within the EU, member state data protection authorities typically regard IP addresses as personal information, and legislation adopted recently in the EU requires consent for the placement of a cookie on a user device. In addition, EU data protection authorities are following with interest the FTC's discussions regarding behavioral advertising and may follow suit by imposing additional privacy requirements for mobile advertising practices.
 
 ·
Marketing-Privacy Regulation.    In addition, there are U.S. federal and state laws and EU member state and other country laws that govern SMS and telecommunications-based marketing, generally requiring senders to transmit messages (including those sent to mobile devices) only to recipients who have specifically consented to receiving such messages. U.S. federal, EU member state and other country laws also govern e-mail marketing, generally imposing an opt-out requirement for emails sent within an existing business relationship.
 
 ·
SMS and Location-Based Marketing Best Practices and Guidelines.    We are a member of the Mobile Marketing Association, or MMA, a global association of 700 agencies, advertisers, mobile device manufacturers, wireless operators and service providers and others interested in the potential of marketing via the mobile channel. The MMA has published a code of conduct and best practices guidelines for use by those involved in mobile messaging activities. The guidelines were developed by a collaboration of the major carriers and they require adherence to them as a condition of service. We voluntarily comply with the MMA code of conduct. In addition, the Cellular Telephone Industry Association, or CTIA, has developed Best Practices and Guidelines to promote and protect user privacy regarding location-based services. We also voluntarily comply with those guidelines, which generally require notice and user consent for delivery of location-based services.

TCPA.    The United States Telephone Consumer Protection Act, or TCPA, prohibits unsolicited voice and text calls to cell phones or the use of an auto-dialing system unless the recipient has given prior consent. The statute also prohibits companies from initiating telephone solicitations to individuals on the national Do-Not-Call list, unless the individual has given prior express consent or has an established business relationship with the company, and restricts the hours when such messages may be sent. In the case of text messages, a company must obtain opt-in consent to send messages to a mobile device. Violations of the TCPA can result in statutory damages of $500 per violation (i.e., for each individual text message). U.S. state laws impose additional regulations on voice and text calls.
 
 ·
CAN-SPAM.    The U.S. Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act, or CAN SPAM, prohibits all commercial e-mail messages, as defined in the law, to mobile phones unless the device owner has given "express prior authorization." Recipients of such messages must also be allowed to opt-out of receiving future messages the same way they opted-in. Senders have ten days to honor opt-out requests. The FCC has compiled a list of domain names used by wireless service providers to which marketers may not send commercial e-mail messages. Senders have 30 days from the date the domain name is posted on the FCC site to stop sending unauthorized commercial e-mail to addresses containing the domain name. Violators are subject to fines of up to $6.0 million and up to one year in jail for some spamming activities. Carriers, the FTC, the FCC, and State Attorneys General may bring lawsuits to enforce alleged violations of the Act.
 
 ·
Communications Privacy Acts.    Foreign, U.S. federal and U.S. state laws impose consent requirements for disclosures of contents of communications or customer record information. To the extent that we knowingly receive this information without the consent of customers, we could be subject to class action lawsuits for statutory damages or criminal penalties under these laws, which could impose significant additional costs and reputational harm. EU member state laws also require consent for our receiving this information, and if our carrier customers fail to obtain such consent we could be subjected to civil or even criminal penalties.
 
 ·
Security Breach Notification Requirements.    EU member state laws require notice to the member state data protection authority of a data security breach involving personal data if the breach poses a risk to individuals. In addition, Germany recently enacted a broad requirement to notify individuals in the event of a data security breach that is likely to be followed by notification requirements to data subjects in other EU member states. In the U.S., various states have enacted data breach notification laws, which require notification of individuals and sometimes state regulatory bodies in the event of breaches involving certain defined categories of personal information.  Japan and Uruguay have also recently enacted security breach notice requirements. This new trend suggests that breach notice statutes may be enacted in other jurisdictions, including by the U.S. at the federal level, as well.
 
 ·
Children.    U.S. federal privacy regulations implementing the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act prohibit the knowing collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent, and strictly regulate the transmission of requests for personal information to such children. Other countries do not recognize the ability of children to consent to the collection of personal information. In addition, it is likely that behavioral advertising regulations will impose special restrictions on use of information collected from minors for this purpose.

Risk Factors.
 
 Risks Related to our Business
 
 Proceeds from our recent bridge note financing will not be sufficient to sustain our operations and we will need to raise additional capital to grow our business.
 
 We anticipate, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions relating to our ability to market and sell our products, that our cash on hand including the proceeds from our recent bridge note financing as well as revenues from operations will not satisfy our operational and capital requirements for the next 12 months. Further, the operation of our business and our efforts to grow our business further both through acquisitions and organically will require significant cash outlays and commitments. The timing and amount of our cash needs may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including but not limited to:
 
 ·
market acceptance of our mobile marketing and advertising services;
 ·
the need to adapt to changing technologies and technical requirements;
 ·
the need to adapt to changing regulations requiring changes to our processes or platform; and
 ·
the existence and cost of opportunities for expansion through internal growth and acquisitions.
 
 Our existing working capital and the proceeds from our recent bridge note financing are not sufficient to meet our cash requirements and we will need to seek additional capital, potentially through debt, or equity financings, to fund our growth. We may not be able to raise cash on terms acceptable to us or at all. Financings, if available, may be on terms that are dilutive to our shareholders, and the prices at which new investors would be willing to purchase our securities may be lower than the current price of our ordinary shares. The holders of new securities may also receive rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of existing holders of our ordinary shares. If new sources of financing are required but are insufficient or unavailable, we would be required to modify our growth and operating plans to the extent of available funding, which could harm our ability to grow our business.
  We may not be successful in executing our acquisition strategy.
 
 Our future growth will largely depend on the successful execution of our acquisition strategy. If we are unable to acquire other companies in the mobile marketing sector, our growth, valuation and prospects will be adversely affected. It is possible that acquisition targets will not be receptive to either the valuation offered or our intention to pay for acquisitions using our common stock as the “currency”. If we are unable to grow other than organically, our growth prospects will be reduced and our ability to raise capital on acceptable terms and the value of our common stock will both be compromised.
  In addition, our future acquisitions may be expensive and time-consuming and we may not realize anticipated benefits from them.  The specific risks we may encounter in these types of transactions include the following:
  ·
Potentially dilutive issuances of our securities, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities and amortization expenses related to intangible assets, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition;
  ·
The possibility that staff or customers of the acquired company might not accept new ownership and may transition to different technologies or attempt to renegotiate contract terms or relationships;
  ·
The possibility that the due diligence process in any such acquisition may not completely identify material issues associated with product and service quality, intellectual property issues, key personnel issues or legal and financial contingencies; and
  ·
Difficulty in integrating acquired operations due to technology constraints or geographical distance.

 Table of Contents
  A failure to successfully integrate acquired businesses for any of these reasons could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
  We may not have the liquidity to settle our bridge notes at maturity.
 
 Our $1,000,000 principal amount outstanding of bridge notes (plus interest accrued at 10% annually) matures on the earlier of November 2, 2011 or the date on which we complete a financing in excess of $1,250,000. There is no certainty that we will have the liquidity necessary to settle the bridge notes including accrued interest at the maturity date, nor is it certain that the bridge lenders will agree to an extension of the maturity date or an accommodation favorable to us.  Our obligations under the bridge notes are secured by all of our assets.  In the event we cannot settle the bridge notes at the maturity date or reach an accommodation with the bridge lenders, our operations would be severely jeopardized if not entirely curtailed.
  Our sales efforts require significant time and effort and could hinder our ability to expand our customer base and increase revenue.
  Attracting new customers requires substantial time and expense, especially in an industry that is so heavily dependent on personal relationships with executives.  We cannot assure that we will be successful in establishing new relationships, or maintaining or advancing our current relationships. For example, it may be difficult to identify, engage and market to customers who do not currently perform mobile marketing or advertising or are unfamiliar with our current services or platform.  Further, many of our customers typically require input from one or more internal levels of approval. As a result, during our sales effort, we must identify multiple people involved in the purchasing decision and devote a sufficient amount of time to presenting our products and services to those individuals.  The complexity of our services, including our software-as-a-service model, often requires us to spend substantial time and effort assisting potential customers in evaluating our products and services including providing demonstrations and benchmarking against other available technologies.  We expect that our sales process will become less burdensome as our products and services become more widely known and used.  However, if this change does not occur, we will not be able to expand our sales effort as quickly as anticipated and our sales will be adversely affected.
  We may not be able to enhance our mobile marketing and advertising platform to keep pace with technological and market developments, or to remain competitive against potential new entrants in our markets.
  The market for mobile marketing and advertising services is emerging and is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions and short product life cycles. Our current platform or platforms we may offer in the future may not be acceptable to marketers and advertisers. To keep pace with technological developments, satisfy increasing customer requirements and achieve acceptance of our marketing and advertising campaigns, we will need to enhance our current mobile marketing solutions and continue to develop and introduce on a timely basis new, innovative mobile marketing services offering compatibility, enhanced features and functionality on a timely basis at competitive prices. Our inability, for technological or other reasons, to enhance, develop, introduce and deliver compelling mobile marketing services in a timely manner, or at all, in response to changing market conditions, technologies or customer expectations could have a material adverse effect on our operating results or could result in our mobile marketing services platform becoming obsolete. Our ability to compete successfully will depend in large measure on our ability to maintain a technically skilled development and engineering staff and to adapt to technological changes and advances in the industry, including providing for the continued compatibility of our mobile marketing services platform with evolving industry standards and protocols. In addition, as we believe the mobile marketing market is likely to grow substantially, other companies which are larger and have significantly more capital to invest than us may emerge as competitors. For example, in May 2010, Google, Inc. acquired Admob, Inc. Similarly, in January 2010, Apple, Inc. acquired Quattro Wireless, Inc. New entrants could seek to gain market share by introducing new technology or reducing pricing. This may make it more difficult for us to sell our products and services, and could result in increased pricing pressure, reduced profit margins, increased sales and marketing expenses or the loss of market share or expected market share, any of which may significantly harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 Table of Contents
  Our customer contracts lack uniformity and often are complex, which subjects us to business and other risks.
 
 Our customers include some of the largest enterprises which have substantial purchasing power and negotiating leverage. As a result, we typically negotiate contracts on a customer-by-customer basis and our contracts lack uniformity and are often complex. If we are unable to effectively negotiate, enforce and account and bill in an accurate and timely manner for contracts with our key customers, our business and operating results may be adversely affected.  In addition, we could be unable to timely recognize revenue from contracts that are not managed effectively and this would further adversely impact our financial results.
 
 Our services are provided on mobile communications networks that are owned and operated by third parties who we do not control and the failure of any of these networks would adversely affect our ability to deliver our services to our customers.
 
 Our mobile marketing and advertising platform is dependent on the reliability of mobile operators who maintain sophisticated and complex mobile networks. Such mobile networks have historically, and particularly in recent years, been subject to both rapid growth and technological change. If the network of a mobile operator with which we are integrated should fail, including because of new technology incompatibility, the degradation of network performance under the strain of too many mobile consumers using it, or a general failure from natural disaster or political or regulatory shut-down, we will not be able provide our services to our customers through such mobile network. This in turn, would impair our reputation and business, potentially resulting in a material, adverse effect on our financial results.
 
 If our mobile marketing and advertising services platform does not scale as anticipated, our business will be harmed.
 
 We must be able to continue to scale to support potential ongoing substantial increases in the number of users in our actual commercial environment, and maintain a stable service infrastructure and reliable service delivery for our mobile marketing and advertising campaigns. In addition, we must continue to expand our service infrastructure to handle growth in customers and usage. If our mobile marketing services platform does not efficiently and effectively scale to support and manage a substantial increase in the number of users while maintaining a high level of performance, the quality of our services could decline and our business will be seriously harmed. In addition, if we are unable to secure data center space with appropriate power, cooling and bandwidth capacity, we may not be able to efficiently and effectively scale our business to manage the addition of new customers and overall mobile marketing campaigns.
 
 The success of our business depends, in part, on wireless carriers continuing to accept our customers' messages for delivery to their subscriber base.
 
 We depend on wireless carriers to deliver our customers' messages to their subscriber base. Wireless carriers often impose standards of conduct or practice that significantly exceed current legal requirements and potentially classify our messages as "spam," even where we do not agree with that conclusion. In addition, the wireless carriers use technical and other measures to attempt to block non-compliant senders from transmitting messages to their customers; for example, wireless carriers block short codes or Internet Protocol addresses associated with those senders. There can be no guarantee that we, or short codes registered to us, will not be blocked or blacklisted or that we will be able to successfully remove ourselves from those lists. Although our services typically require customers to opt-in to a campaign, minimizing the risk that our customers' messages will be characterized as spam, blocking of this type could interfere with our ability to market products and services of our customers and communicate with end users and could undermine the effectiveness of our customers' marketing campaigns. To date we have not experienced any material blocking of our messages by wireless carriers, but any such blocking could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 Table of Contents
  We depend on third party providers for a reliable Internet infrastructure and the failure of these third parties, or the Internet in general, for any reason would significantly impair our ability to conduct our business.
 
 We outsource all of our data center facility management to third parties who host the actual servers and provide power and security in multiple data centers in each geographic location. These third party facilities require uninterrupted access to the Internet.  If the operation of our servers is interrupted for any reason, including natural disaster, financial insolvency of a third party provider, or malicious electronic intrusion into the data center, our business would be significantly damaged.  As has occurred with many Internet-based businesses, on occasion in the past, we have been subject to "denial-of-service" attacks in which unknown individuals bombarded our computer servers with requests for data, thereby degrading the servers' performance. While we have historically been successful in relatively quickly identifying and neutralizing these attacks, we cannot be certain that we will be able to do so in the future. If either a third party facility failed, or our ability to access the Internet was interfered with because of the failure of Internet equipment in general or we become subject to malicious attacks of computer intruders, our business and operating results will be materially adversely affected.
  Failure to adequately manage our growth may seriously harm our business.
 
 We operate in an emerging technology market and have experienced, and may continue to experience, significant growth in our business. If we do not effectively manage our growth, the quality of our products and services may suffer, which could negatively affect our brand and operating results. Our growth has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a significant strain on our managerial, administrative, operational and financial resources and our infrastructure. Our future success will depend, in part, upon the ability of our senior management to manage growth effectively. This will require us to, among other things:
 
 ·
implement additional management information systems;
 ·
further develop our operating, administrative, legal, financial and accounting systems and controls;
 ·
hire additional personnel;
 ·
develop additional levels of management within our company;
 ·
locate additional office space in various countries; and
 ·
maintain close coordination among our engineering, operations, legal, finance, sales and marketing and customer service and support organizations.
 
 Moreover, as our sales increase, we may be required to concurrently deploy our services infrastructure at multiple additional locations or provide increased levels of customization. As a result, we may lack the resources to deploy our mobile marketing services on a timely and cost-effective basis. Failure to accomplish any of these requirements would seriously harm our ability to deliver our mobile marketing services platform in a timely fashion, fulfill existing customer commitments or attract and retain new customers.
 
 We depend on the services of key personnel to implement our strategy. If we lose the services of our key personnel or are unable to attract and retain other qualified personnel, we may be unable to implement our strategy.
 
 We believe that the future success of our business depends on the services of a number of key management and operating personnel, including Dennis Becker, our Chief Executive Officer, Alex Shah, our Chief Technology Officer, and Brad Morrow, our Vice President of Product Management. We currently have an employment agreement in place with Mr. Becker.  We do not maintain any key-person life insurance policies. Some of these key employees have strong relationships with our customers and our business may be harmed if these employees leave us. The loss of members of our key management and certain other members of our operating personnel could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
  -16-
 Table of Contents
  In addition, our ability to manage our growth depends, in part, on our ability to identify, hire and retain additional qualified employees, including a technically skilled development and engineering staff. We face intense competition for qualified individuals from numerous technology, marketing and mobile software and service companies.  We require a mix of highly talented engineers as well as individuals in sales and support who are familiar with the marketing and advertising industry. In addition, new hires in sales positions require significant training and may, in some cases, take more than a year before they achieve full productivity. Our recent sales force hires and planned hires may not become as productive as we would like, and we may be unable to hire sufficient numbers of qualified individuals in the future in the markets where we do business.  Further, given the rapid pace of our expansion to date, we may be unable to attract and retain suitably qualified individuals who are capable of meeting our growing, creative, operational and managerial requirements, or may be required to pay increased compensation in order to do so. If we are unsuccessful in attracting and retaining these key personnel, our ability to operate our business effectively would be negatively impacted and our business, operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.
 
 The gathering, transmission, storage and sharing or use of personal information could give rise to liabilities or additional costs of operation as a result of governmental regulation, legal requirements, civil actions or differing views of personal privacy rights.
 
 We transmit and store a large volume of personal information in the course of providing our services. Federal, state and international laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of data that we receive from our customers and their users. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with U.S. federal, state, or international privacy or consumer protection-related laws, regulations or industry self-regulatory principles could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others, which could potentially have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Additionally, we may also be contractually liable to indemnify and hold harmless our customers from the costs or consequences of inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of their customers' personal data which we store or handle as part of providing our services.
 
 The interpretation and application of privacy, data protection and data retention laws and regulations are currently unsettled in the U.S. and internationally, particularly with regard to location-based services, use of customer data to target advertisements and communication with consumers via mobile devices. Such laws may be interpreted and applied inconsistently from country to country and inconsistently with our current data protection policies and practices. Complying with these varying international requirements could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business, operating results or financial condition.
 As privacy and data protection have become more sensitive issues, we may also become exposed to potential liabilities as a result of differing views on the privacy of personal information. These and other privacy concerns, including security breaches, could adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
 In the U.S., we have voluntarily agreed to comply with wireless carrier technological and other requirements for access to their customers' mobile devices, and also trade association guidelines and codes of conduct addressing the provision of location-based services, delivery of promotional content to mobile devices and tracking of users or devices for the purpose of delivering targeted advertising. We could be adversely affected by changes to these requirements, guidelines and codes, including in ways that are inconsistent with our practices or in conflict with the rules or guidelines in other jurisdictions.
 
 Our management team has limited experience in public company matters, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
 
 Our management team, with the exception of our Chief Financial Officer, has only limited public company management experience or responsibilities, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable federal securities laws including filing required reports and other information required on a timely basis. There can be no assurance that our management will be able to implement and affect programs and policies in an effective and timely manner that adequately respond to increased legal, regulatory compliance and reporting requirements imposed by such laws and regulations. Our failure to comply with such laws and regulations could lead to the imposition of fines and penalties and further result in the deterioration of our business.

  Risks Related to our Common Stock
 
 There has been a limited trading market for our common stock.
 
 There has been a limited trading market for our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.  The lack of an active market may impair the ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of your shares. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of capital stock and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using common stock as consideration.
 
 Our freely trading share volume will increase significantly.
 
 As of December 31, 2010, we had 17.7 million common shares outstanding, of which 6.0 million shares were free trading and 11.7 million shares were restricted pursuant Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.  This restriction is expected to be lifted in November 2011 which will result in a significant number of additional shares becoming freely tradable. We also have issued and intend to continue to issue additional common shares in the execution of our acquisition strategy, both increasing the number of free trading shares and dilution. This increase in both free trading shares and total shares outstanding may have a depressive effect on our stock price and a deleterious effect on our ability to both raise additional equity capital and complete acquisitions using our common stock as the principal currency.
 
 You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.
 
 Our common stock may not be actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock, and would likely reduce the market price of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital.
 
 The market price of our common stock may be, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations.
 
 The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including:
 
 ·
dilution caused by our issuance of additional shares of common stock and other forms of equity securities, which we expect to make in connection with future acquisitions or capital financings to fund our operations and growth, to attract and retain valuable personnel and in connection with future strategic partnerships with other companies;
 ·
announcements of new acquisitions or other business initiatives by our competitors;
 ·
our ability to take advantage of new acquisitions or other business initiatives;
 quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses;
 ·
changes in the valuation of similarly situated companies, both in our industry and in other industries;
 ·
changes in analysts’ estimates affecting us, our competitors and/or our industry;
 ·
changes in the accounting methods used in or otherwise affecting our industry;
 ·
additions and departures of key personnel;
 ·
announcements by relevant governments pertaining to additional quota restrictions; and
 ·
fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of capital in the capital markets.
 
 These and other factors are largely beyond our control, and the impact of these risks, singly or in the aggregate, may result in material adverse changes to the market price of our common stock and/or our results of operations and financial condition.
 
 Our operating results may fluctuate significantly, and these fluctuations may cause our stock price to decline.
 
 Our operating results will likely vary in the future primarily as the result of fluctuations in our revenues and operating expenses, expenses that we incur, prices of feed used in our business, the price that customer are willing and able to pay for our products and other factors. If our results of operations do not meet the expectations of current or potential investors, the price of our common stock may decline.

 We do not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will reinvest any future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless they sell their common stock, and stockholders may be unable to sell their shares on favorable terms or at all. Investors cannot be assured of a positive return on investment or that they will not lose the entire amount of their investment in the common stock.
 
 Our directors and officers will have a high concentration of common stock ownership.
 
 Based on the 17,700,000 shares of common stock that are outstanding as of December 31, 2010, our officers and directors will beneficially own approximately 41.6% of our outstanding common stock.  Such a high level of ownership by such persons may have a significant effect in delaying, deferring or preventing any potential change in control of our company.  Additionally, as a result of their high level of ownership, our officers and directors might be able to strongly influence the actions of our board of directors and the outcome of actions brought to our shareholders for approval. Such a high level of ownership may adversely affect the voting and other rights of our shareholders.
 
 Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of “penny stocks” limit the trading and liquidity of our common stock, which may affect the trading price of our common stock.
 
 Shares of common stock may be considered a “penny stock” and be subject to SEC rules and regulations which impose limitations upon the manner in which such shares may be publicly traded and regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules which may increase the difficulty investors may experience in attempting to liquidate such securities.

 Overview
 
 We are a provider of technology that enables major brands and enterprises to engage consumers via their mobile phone. Interactive electronic communications with consumers is a complex process involving communication networks and software.  We remove this complexity through our suite of services and technologies thereby enabling brands, marketers, and content owners to communicate with their customers and consumers in general.  From Presidential elections to major broadcast events, we are pioneers in the deployment of the mobile channel as the ultimate direct connection to the consumer.
 
 Mobile phone users represent a large and captive audience. While televisions, radios, and even PCs are often shared by multiple consumers, mobile phones are personal devices representing a truly unique and individual address to the end user. The future of digital media will be driven by mobile phones where a direct, personal conversation can be had with the world’s largest audience. The future of mobile includes banking, commerce, advertising, video, games and just about every other aspect of both on and offline life. Over 4 million consumers have been engaged via their mobile device thanks to our technology.
 
 We believe that our mobile marketing and advertising campaign platform is among the most advanced in the industry as it allows real time interactive communications with consumers.  We generate revenue from licensing our software to clients in our software as a service (Saas) model, per-message and per-minute transactional fees, and customized professional services.
 
 Our “C4” Mobile Marketing and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform is a hosted solution enabling our clients to develop, execute, and manage a variety of engagements to a consumer’s mobile phone. Short Messaging Service (SMS), Multi-Media Messaging (MMS), and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) interactions can all be facilitated via a set of Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). Reporting and analytics capabilities are also available to our users through the C4 solution.
 
 Mobile devices are emerging as the principal interactive channel for brands to reach consumers since it is the only media platform that has access to the consumer virtually anytime and anywhere. Brands and advertising agencies are recognizing the unique benefits of the mobile channel and they are increasingly integrating mobile media within their overall advertising and marketing campaigns. Our objective is to become the industry leader in connecting brands and enterprises to consumers’ mobile phones.

 On November 2, 2010, we issued to a number of accredited investors our 10% Senior Secured Convertible Bridge Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000.
 
 Txtstation Acquisition
 
 On April 1, 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets of the Txtstation interactive mobile marketing platform and services business from Adsparq.  The purchase price for the acquisition was 2,125,000 shares of our common stock and $300,000 in cash.  Of the cash portion, $50,000 was paid at closing, with an additional $25,000 payable on the 60th day following closing.  The balance is payable in $25,000 installments at the end of each of the next nine 30-day periods thereafter.  We assumed none of Adsparq’s liabilities.
 
 In connection with the transaction, we also issued 300,000 shares of our common stock to the controlling stockholder of Adsparq in consideration of certain indemnification obligations and other agreements.  As a result of the transaction, our headcount increased by seven full time individuals and one part time individual on April 1, 2011.
 
 mHealth Technology License
 
 On March 18, 2011, we entered into a letter of intent with a global health company for the license of one of our mobile communications software technology platforms for the sole purpose of developing, delivering and sublicensing mobile health and medicine applications.  The letter of intent expires July 1, 2011 and may be terminated without obligation or liability by mutual agreement of the parties.
 
 The letter of intent provides for the execution of a master services agreement between the parties, and an upfront nonrefundable prepayment to us of $50,000 for a one year license to the Company’s C4 platform.  This payment was received March 28, 2011.  On or before June 30, 2011, we may receive an exclusivity payment of $450,000 and 1.07 million shares of the global health company in consideration for our not granting any other person or entity a license to our software technology platform for the delivery of mobile health and medicine applications, subject to undefined milestones and minimum payments.  If this exclusivity payment is made prior to June 30, 2011, the parties agree to set license fees payable to mutually agreeable levels, and the global health company agrees to invest a minimum of $1,000,000 over an 18 month period for the development of mobile health and medicine applications.
 
 March / April 2011 Private Placement
 
 We commenced a private placement in late March 2011, and believe the process will continue until late April 2011. As of April 12, 2011, we have raised gross proceeds of $445,000. The private placement structure consists of a series of identical subscription agreements offering subscribers an opportunity to invest in units comprised of shares of our common stock at a price of $1.50 per share and an equivalent number of warrants at an exercise price of $2.00. Both the shares and the warrants are price protected by us. The price protection obligates us to issue to the investors an additional number of shares in the event that common shares are issued at a price below $1.50 until the shares become freely trading.

 Resultsof Operations
 
 The following discussion of our operating results explains material changes in our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
 
 Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009
  Revenues
 
 Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased $65,481, or 7.7%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.  The increase is primarily the result of higher revenues for software licensing and SMS.
 
 Cost of Revenues
 
 Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased $129,626, or 23.7% compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.  This decrease is due to lower costs for SMS transmission resulting from a change in providers, a savings of approximately $95,000.  Further reduction in costs related to local voice origination charges, a savings of approximately $30,000, due to reduced traffic from VoIP customers versus the same period in 2009.
 
 Gross Profit
 
 Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased by $195,107, or 63.7%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased to 54.5% compared to 35.9% in 2009.
 
 Sales and Marketing Expense
 
 Sales and marketing expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $225,783 and $114,263, respectively.  Such expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, sales travel, consulting costs and other expenses.  The increase of $111,520 was due to an increase in sales and marketing travel, and sales consulting costs that were incurred in 2010 as we grew our business.
 
 Engineering, Research, and Development Expense
 
 Engineering, research, and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $405,819 and $616,912, respectively.  Such expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, consulting costs and other expenses.  The decrease of $211,093 was due to a decrease in personnel costs and benefits due to a reduction of two employees, and a decrease in consulting expense due to a reduction of one engineering contractor.

 Table of Contents
  General and Administrative Expense
 
 General and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $1,163,479 and $890,294, respectively.  Such expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, consulting costs and other expenses.  The increase of $273,185 was due to an increase in stock-based compensation of $49,400, of which $21,895 related to the accelerated vesting of stock options pursuant to the Share Exchange, and the remainder primarily relates to legal, accounting, and consulting expenses associated with the Share Exchange.
 
 Gain on Debt Extinguishment
 
 During the year ended December 31, 2010, we negotiated settlement agreements for liabilities totaling $270,565, and paid $71,164 to settle these liabilities.  We recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt totaling $199,401 for the year ended December 31, 2010.  We had no such transactions in 2009.
 
 Interest Expense
 
 Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased $32,991, or 37.7%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.  The increase is attributable to amortization of the note discounts recorded during 2010.
 
 Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
 We had negative working capital of $1,258,895 and $1,962,436, respectively, at December 31, 2010 and 2009.  Our cash balances as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $373,439 and $11,003, respectively.
 
 Cash Flows from Operating Activities
 
 Our operating activities resulted in net cash used by operations of $778,957 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to net cash used by operations of $302,860 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
 The net cash used by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 reflects a net loss of $1,229,583 offset by gain on debt extinguishment of $199,401, stock-based compensation of $156,785, change in fair market value of derivative liability of $14,861, amortization of note discounts of $50,789, and other minor factors.  Changes in operating assets and liabilities included an increase in other assets of $28,033, an increase in accounts payable of $255,443, an increase in accrued interest of $68,288, an increase in accrued and deferred compensation of $147,359, a decrease in deferred revenues and customer deposits of $94,386, an increase in other liabilities of $65,880, and other minor factors.
 
 The net cash used by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2009 reflects a net loss of $1,402,627 offset by bad debt expense of $29,209, stock-based compensation of $118,269, depreciation expense of $22,156, increase in accounts receivable of $8,323, increase in accounts payable of $651,444, increase in accrued interest of $67,247, increase in accrued and deferred compensation of $118,095, an increase in deferred revenues and customer deposits of $91,826, and other minor factors.

  Cash Flows from Financing Activities
 
 Net cash provided by financing activities for 2010 and 2009 was $1,141,393 and $245,783, respectively.
 
 In 2010, we received contributions from our former parent of $249,897, and we received $1,043,615 from the issuance of notes payable.  We made payments on notes payable of $128,615, and we incurred $40,000 of expenses related to our financing efforts that we capitalized as deferred financing costs.
 
 In 2009, we received contributions from our former parent of $245,783.
  Future Liquidity Needs
  We will need to raise additional capital before we exhaust our current cash resources in order to continue to fund our operations.  This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We commenced a private placement in late March 2011, and believe the process will continue until late April 2011. As of April 12, 2011, we have raised gross proceeds of $445,000.  We expect that the completion of this financing will allow us to move forward with our acquisition strategy for the near term and that the successful execution of our acquisition strategy will make it possible for us to raise additional funds before the end of 2011 and eventually generate sufficient cash flow from operations to reduce our dependence on outside capital sources.
  Based on our resources at December 31, 2010, proceeds from the recent private placement transaction and our current plan of expenditures, and assuming we are not required to settle our $1,000,000 of bridge notes payable during 2011, we believe that we will have sufficient capital to fund our operations for at least 12 months. Our actual cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned, however, because of a number of factors, including cash requirements associated with funding the purchase price of, and operations of, acquired businesses, the pursuit of development of product candidates, competitive and technical advances, costs of commercializing any potential product candidates, and costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and any other intellectual property rights. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may not be able to complete planned acquisitions or develop any product candidates, we could be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our research and development programs and we may need to wind down our operations altogether. Each of these alternatives would have a material adverse effect on our business.
  To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity or debt securities, our stockholders may experience additional significant dilution and such financing may involve restrictive covenants. To the extent that we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to our technologies or our product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. These things may have a material adverse effect on our business.
  Additionally, recent global market and economic conditions have been unprecedented and challenging with tighter credit conditions and recession in most major economies. As a result of these market conditions, the cost and availability of credit has been and may continue to be adversely affected by illiquid credit markets and wider credit spreads. Concern about the stability of the markets generally and the strength of counterparties specifically has led many lenders and institutional investors to reduce, and in some cases, cease to provide credit to businesses and consumers. These factors have lead to a decrease in spending by businesses and consumers alike, and a corresponding decrease in global infrastructure spending. Continued turbulence in the U.S. and international markets and economies and prolonged declines in business and consumer spending may adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, including our ability to access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs.

  Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
  Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.
  We believe the following accounting policies and estimates are most critical to aid in understanding and evaluating our reported financial results.
  Revenue
  Our “C4” Mobile Marketing and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform is a hosted solution.  We generate revenue from licensing our software to clients in our software as a service (Saas) model, per-message and per-minute transactional fees, and customized professional services.  We recognize license fees over the period of the contract, service fees as the services are performed, and per-message or per-minute transaction revenue when the transaction takes place.  We recognize revenue at the time that the services are rendered, the selling price is fixed, and collection is reasonably assured, provided no significant obligations remain.  We consider authoritative guidance on multiple deliverables in determining whether each deliverable represents a separate unit of accounting.
 
 Stock-based compensation
  We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with authoritative guidance for stock-based compensation, which requires us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity incentive awards, including stock options, based on the grant date fair value of the award. The fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The resulting cost is recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period. We recognize compensation expense over the vesting period using the straight-line method and classify these amounts in the statements of operations based on the department to which the related employee reports. To the extent that we issue future stock incentive awards to employees, our stock-based compensation expense will be increased by the additional unearned compensation resulting from such additional issuances.
  We account for equity instruments, including restricted stock or stock options, issued to non-employees in accordance with authoritative guidance for equity based payments to non-employees. Stock options issued to non-employees are accounted for at their estimated fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of options granted to non-employees is re-measured as they vest, and the resulting increase in value, if any, is recognized as expense during the period the related services are rendered. Restricted stock issued to non-employees is accounted for at its estimated fair value upon vesting. We evaluate the assumptions used to value stock awards to non-employees on a periodic basis. If factors change and we employ different assumptions, including any significant change in the estimated fair value of common stock, stock-based compensation expense may differ significantly from what we have recorded historically. In addition, to the extent that we issue future stock incentive awards to non-employees, our stock-based compensation expense will be increased by the additional unearned compensation resulting from such additional issuances.

 Table of Contents
  Derivative Financial Instruments
 
 We review the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments we issue to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including an embedded conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument.  In circumstances where the convertible instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.  Also, in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, we may issue freestanding warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.
 
 Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the convertible debt or equity instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments.  The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value.
 
 The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense, using the effective interest method.
 
 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
 We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 Item9.
Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
 
 On January 11, 2011, we dismissed our auditors, Seale and Beers, CPAs (the "Former Accountant").  Effective January 11, 2011, we engaged Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. (the "New Accountant"), as our independent certified public accountant.  Our decision to dismiss the Former Accountant and retain the New Accountant was approved by our board of directors on January 10, 2011.
 
 The Former Accountant’s report on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was not subject to an adverse or qualified opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles for the fiscal years then ended, except that the Former Accountant’s report on the financial statements as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 contained explanatory language that substantial doubt existed about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our accumulated deficit and the absence of revenues since inception.
 
 During the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period there were no reportable events as the term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 Table of Contents
  During the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period there were no disagreements with the Former Accountant on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the Former Accountant would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on these financial statements for those periods.
 
 We did not consult with the New Accountant regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and no written or oral advice was provided by the New Accountant that was a factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues.
 
 Item 9A.
Controls and Procedures.
 
 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (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 controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
 As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our president (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, being December 31, 2010.
 
 Based on this evaluation, these officers concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission.  The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as identified below under the heading “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.” Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.
 
 Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

  Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
 Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The term “internal control over financial reporting” is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, an issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, 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 generally accepted accounting principles 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; and(2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer.
 
 Under the supervision of our president, being our principal executive officer, and our chief financial officer, being our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 using the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as at December 31, 2010.
 
 A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, we determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with small staff, such as:
 
 (1)
inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and(2)
insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
 These control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements could not have been prevented or detected on a timely basis.  As a result of the material weaknesses described above, we concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Frameworkissued by COSO. Our management is currently evaluating remediation plans for the above deficiencies.   During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the weaknesses described above.   However, we plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting.
 
 Changes in Internal Control
 
 There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting described above that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

  Board of Directors’ Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
  The board of directors has adopted a policy for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services rendered by our independent auditors, Mayer Hoffman. The policy generally pre-approves specified services in the defined categories of audit services, audit-related services and tax services up to specified amounts. Pre-approval may also be given as part of the board’s approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent auditors or on an individual explicit case-by-case basis before the independent auditors are engaged to provide each service.
  The board of directors has determined that the rendering of the services other than audit services by Mayer Hoffman is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENTREGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of CommerceTel Corporation
 
 We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of CommerceTel Corporation as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year 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 audit.
 
 We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 CommerceTel Corporation as of December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
 The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations and is dependent on additional financing to fund operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

  REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
 CommerceTel, Inc.:
 
 We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of CommerceTel, Inc. (the "Company"), as of December 31, 2009 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year 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 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 also 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 presentation of the financial statements. 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 CommerceTel, Inc., as of December 31, 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
 The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $6,944,670 at December 31, 2009.  These and other factors discussed therein raise a substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to those matters are also described in Note 2.  The Company’s ability to achieve its plans with regard to those matters, which may be necessary to permit the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business, is uncertain.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 CommerceTel Corporation
 Notes toConsolidated Financial Statements
 
 1.  Reverse Merger Transaction and Accounting
  Reverse Merger Transaction
  On November 2, 2010, CommerceTel Corporation (the “Company”) acquired CommerceTel, Inc., which was wholly-owned by CommerceTel Canada Corporation (“CTel Canada” or “our former parent”), in a reverse merger, or the “Merger”.  Pursuant to the Merger, all of the issued and outstanding shares of CommerceTel, Inc. common stock were converted, at an exchange ratio of 0.7268-for-1, into an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and CommerceTel, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  The holders of the Company’s common stock as of immediately prior to the Merger held an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements common share and weighted average common share basic and diluted information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio in the Merger.
  CommerceTel, Inc. was originally incorporated in Nevada in 2005.  The Company was originally incorporated as Ares Ventures Corporation in Nevada in 2008, and was renamed CommerceTel Corporation in 2010.
  Reverse Merger Accounting
  Immediately following the consummation of the Merger, the: (i) former security holders of CommerceTel, Inc. common stock had an approximate 56% voting interest in the Company and the Company stockholders retained an approximate 44% voting interest, (ii) former executive management team of CommerceTel, Inc. remained as the only continuing executive management team for the Company, and (iii) Company’s ongoing operations consist solely of the ongoing operations of CommerceTel, Inc.  Based primarily on these factors, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and a recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP.  As a result, these financial statements reflect the: (i) historical results of CommerceTel, Inc. prior to the Merger, (ii) combined results of the Company following the Merger, and (iii) acquired assets and liabilities at their historical cost, which approximates their fair value at the Merger date. In connection with the Merger, the Company received net assets of $16,496.
  On December 7, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to change the Company’s fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31, effective immediately, to coincide with the fiscal year end of its wholly owned subsidiary CommerceTel, Inc.
 
 2.  Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
 Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
 
 The Company is a provider of mobile marketing technology that enables major brands and enterprises to engage consumers via their mobile phones and other smart devices.  Interactive electronic communications with consumers is a complex process involving communication networks and software.  The Company removes this complexity through its suite of services and technologies thereby enabling brands, marketers, and content owners to communicate with their customers and consumers in general.
 
 Principles of Accounting and Consolidation
 
 These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
 
 F-8
 Table of Contents
 
 Going Concern
 
 Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.  Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.   However, we have incurred continued losses, have a net working capital deficiency, and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $8.2 million as of December 31, 2010.  These factors among others create a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  We are dependent upon sufficient future revenues, additional sales of our securities or obtaining debt financing in order to meet our operating cash requirements.  Barring our generation of revenues in excess of our costs and expenses or our obtaining additional funds from equity or debt financing, or receipt of significant licensing prepayments, we will not have sufficient cash to continue to fund the operations of the Company through December 31, 2011.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
 In response to our Company’s cash needs, we received additional equity investments pursuant to a private placement totaling $445,000 as of April 12, 2011.  Longer term, we anticipate that we will continue to raise additional equity financing through the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock in order to finance our future investing and operating cash flow needs.  However, there can be no assurance that such financings will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
 
 Use of Estimates
 
 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates used are those related to stock-based compensation, the valuation of the derivative liabilities, and the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets.  Management believes that these estimates are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
 Reclassifications
 
 Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.  Additionally, we have reclassified in the 2009 financial statements, approximately $86,000 of gain as a result of a court ruling originally included in revenue and bad debt that we determined should have been recorded in general and administrative expense.  The Company has determined that the effect of the reclassification on the 2009 financial statements is immaterial. The reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net loss or cash flows.
 
 Cash
 
 The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.
 
 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
 The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, derivative liability and other current liabilities. Fair value estimates of these instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information. These estimates may be subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments are generally considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments or because they have been adjusted to fair value on the reporting date.
 
 F-9
 Table of Contents
 
 Accounts Receivable
 
 Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. The Company grants unsecured credit to substantially all of its customers.  Ongoing credit evaluations are performed and potential credit losses are charged to operations at the time the account receivable is estimated to be uncollectible.  Since the Company cannot necessarily predict future changes in the financial stability of our customers, the Company cannot guarantee that its reserves will continue to be adequate.
 
 From time to time, the Company may have a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due.  Any unanticipated change in one of the customer’s credit worthiness could have a material effect on our results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occurred.  The Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
 Equipment
 
 Equipment is recorded at cost, consists primarily of computer equipment and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (generally three years or less).  Costs incurred for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and expenditures for major replacements and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated remaining useful lives.  Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $6,348 and $22,156, respectively.  Accumulated depreciation for the Company’s equipment at December 31, 2010 and 2009 is $115,099 and $108,751, respectively.
 
 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
 The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. The Company’s management currently believes there is no impairment of its long-lived assets. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s products under development will continue. Either of these could result in future impairment of long-lived assets.
 
 Derivative Financial Instruments
 
 The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks.
 
 The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments it issues to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including an embedded conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument.  In circumstances where the convertible instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.  Also, in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may issue freestanding warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.
 
 Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the convertible debt or equity instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments.  The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value.
 
 F-10
 Table of Contents
 
 The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense, using the effective interest method.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
 The Company’s “C4” Mobile Marketing and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform is a hosted solution.  The Company generates revenue from licensing its software to clients in its software as a service (Saas) model, per-message and per-minute transactional fees, and customized professional services.  The Company recognizes license fees over the period of the contract, service fees as the services are performed, and per-message or per-minute transaction revenue when the transaction takes place.  The Company recognizes revenue at the time that the services are rendered, the selling price is fixed, and collection is reasonably assured, provided no significant obligations remain.  The Company considers authoritative guidance on multiple deliverables in determining whether each deliverable represents a separate unit of accounting. Cash received in advance of the performance of services is recorded as deferred revenue.  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, deferred revenues totaled $215,430 and $111,168, respectively.
 
 Income Taxes
 
 In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical operating results and the uncertainty of the economic conditions, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010 and 2009 in each jurisdiction where it cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that those assets will be realized.
 
 Stock-based Compensation
 
 The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 Stock Compensation, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under such provisions, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense, under the straight-line method, over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).  In accordance with ASC 718, the Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises the estimates if necessary, if actual forfeiture rates differ from those estimates. Stock options issued to employees are accounted for at their estimated fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
 
 The Company accounts for equity instruments, including restricted stock or stock options, issued to non-employees in accordance with authoritative guidance for equity based payments to non-employees. Stock options issued to non-employees are accounted for at their estimated fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of options granted to non-employees is re-measured as they vest, and the resulting increase in value, if any, is recognized as expense during the period the related services are rendered. Restricted stock issued to non-employees is accounted for at its estimated fair value as it vests.
 
 Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
 Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company is required to record all components of comprehensive income (loss) in the financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. Net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), including foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on investments, are reported, net of their related tax effect, to arrive at comprehensive income (loss). For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the comprehensive loss was equal to the net loss.
 
 F-11
 Table of Contents
 
 Net Loss Per Common Share
 
 Net loss per share is presented as both basic and diluted net loss per share. Basic net loss per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, shares subject to repurchase and warrants. Diluted net loss per share includes the impact of potentially dilutive securities. During 2010, the Company had securities outstanding which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, but were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. These outstanding securities consist of 1,808,750 outstanding options. In addition, see potential issuances associated with warrants and convertible debt in Notes 3 and 4.
 
 Litigation
 
 From time to time, the Company may become involved in disputes, litigation and other legal actions.  The Company estimates the range of liability related to any pending litigation where the amount and range of loss can be estimated.  The Company records its best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable.  Where a liability is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate in the range, the Company records a charge equal to at least the minimum estimated liability for a loss contingency when both of the following conditions are met: (i) information available prior to issuance of the consolidated financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (ii) the range of loss can be reasonably estimated.
 
 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
 Accounting standards promulgated by the FASB are subject to change.  Changes in such standards may have an impact on the Company’s future financial statements.  The following are a summary of recent accounting developments.
 
 In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic 820 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”.  This ASU requires new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting. This pronouncement is effective for interim and 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, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
 In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition that will become effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010, with earlier adoption permitted. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB issued guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
 F-12
 Table of Contents
 
 3.  Derivative Liabilities
 
 As discussed in Note 4, the Company issued convertible notes payable on November 2, 2010, that provide for the issuance of warrants to purchase its common stock at a future date.  The conversion term for the convertible notes is variable based on certain factors.  The number of warrants to be issued is based on the future price of the Company’s common stock.  As of December 31, 2010, the number of warrants to be issued remains indeterminate.
 
 Pursuant to ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives, the fair value of the variable conversion option and warrants / shares to be issued were recorded as derivative liabilities on the issuance date.
 
 The fair value of the variable conversion option and warrants / shares to be issued was estimated at the issuance date and revalued at December 31, 2010, using a Monte Carlo simulation.  At December 31, 2010, the Company has recorded derivative liabilities of $334,478.  The change in fair value of the derivative liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $14,861 was reported as other expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
 4.  Bridge Financing, Notes Payable and Accrued Interest
 
 Bridge Financing
 
 On November 2, 2010, the Company issued to a number of accredited investors a series of its 10% Senior Secured Convertible Bridge Note (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “Financing”).  The Notes accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum.  The entire principal amount evidenced by the Notes (the “Principal Amount”) plus all accrued and unpaid interest is due on the earlier of (i) the date the Company completes a financing transaction for the offer and sale of shares of common stock (including securities convertible into or exercisable for its common stock), in an aggregate amount of no less than 125% of the principal amounts evidenced by the Notes (a “Qualifying Financing”), and (ii) November 3, 2011. If the Notes are held to maturity, the Company pays, at the option of the holder: i) cash or ii) in securities to be issued by the Company in the Qualifying Financing at the same price paid by other investors.
 
 On the maturity date of the Notes, in addition to the repayment of the Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest, the Company will issue to each holder of the Notes, at each such holder’s option, (i) three year warrants to purchase that number of shares of its common stock equal to the Principal Amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest divided by the per share purchase price of the common stock offered and sold in the Qualifying Financing (the “Offering Price”) which warrants shall be exercisable at the Offering Price, or (ii) that number of shares of common stock equal to the product arrived at by multiplying (x) the Principal Amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest divided by the Offering Price and (y) 0.33.
 
 The Company’s obligations under the Notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company, including all shares of CommerceTel, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary.
 
 WFG Investments, Inc., a registered broker dealer, was paid a placement agent fee in the amount of $40,000 which was capitalized as deferred financing costs, and is being amortized over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method.  The Company recorded $6,667 of expense for the amortization of the deferred financing costs during the year ended December 31, 2010.

 In accordance with ASC 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the Company recorded a discount of $1,865 for the variable conversion feature and a discount of $317,752 for the warrants / shares to be issued.  The discounts will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method.  The Company recorded $50,789 of interest expense for the amortization of the note discounts during the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
 In accordance with ASC 815-15, the Company determined that the variable conversion feature and the warrants / shares to be issued represented embedded derivative features, and these are shown as derivative liabilities on the balance sheet.  See Note 3.
 
 The Company calculated the fair value of the compound embedded derivatives associated with the convertible notes payable utilizing a complex, customized Monte Carlo simulation model suitable to value path dependant American options. The model uses the risk neutral methodology adapted to value corporate securities. This model utilized subjective and theoretical assumptions that can materially affect fair values from period to period.
 
 Other Notes
 
 In September 2010, the Company issued a convertible note payable with a 10% simple interest rate for $43,615 to a consultant.  The Company repaid $28,615 of the note principal in October 2010, and converted the remaining $15,000 of note principal into 27,255 common shares.

  Stock-based Compensation
  CTel Canada Plan
  Certain employees, directors and consultants of the Company (the “Optionees”) have received stock options exercisable for the common stock of (and issued by) our former parent company, CTel Canada.Results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 include stock-based compensation costs totaling $114,775 ($9,137 in sales and marketing expense, $74,050 in engineering, research, and development expense, and $31,588 in general and administrative expense) and $118,269 ($8,341 in sales and marketing expense, $43,267 in engineering, research, and development expense, and $66,661 in general and administrative expense), respectively, related to stock option grants made to the Optionees.
  Effective with the Merger, all of the unvested options became fully vested, resulting in additional stock-based compensation in 2010 of $25,534, which is included in the amount above.
  For purposes of accounting for stock-based compensation, the fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula.  The weighted-average estimated fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $0.02 and $0.02 per share, respectively.  The following weighted average assumptions were utilized for the calculations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

 The weighted average expected option and warrant term for employee stock options granted reflects the application of the simplified method set out in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment (SAB 107).  The simplified method defines the life as the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted average vesting period for all options.  The Company utilized this approach as its historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate an expected term.  Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the stock of a public company that provides comparable services within the Company’s targeted industry.  The Company estimated the forfeiture rate based on its expectation for future forfeitures and its estimates mirror the forfeiture rate experienced to date.  The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at or near the time of grant.  The Company has never declared or paid dividends and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.
 
 As of December 31, 2010, all options are fully vested and all related compensation expense has been recorded.
 
 2010 Incentive Stock Option Plan
 
 On December 24, 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Incentive Stock Option Plan (“the 2010 Plan”), subject to shareholder approval within one year.  If shareholder approval is not obtained within one year, incentive stock options granted under the 2010 Plan convert to non-qualified stock options.  The 2010 Plan permits the Company to grant up to 3,124,000 shares of common stock and options to purchase shares of common stock.  The 2010 Plan is designed to retain directors, executives and selected employees and consultants and reward them for making major contributions to the success of the Company.  These objectives are accomplished by making long-term incentive awards under the 2010 Plan thereby providing participants with a proprietary interest in the growth and performance of the Company.
 
 F-16
 Table of Contents
 
 The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders.  Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price that equals the fair market value of the Company's stock at the date of grant.  These option awards generally vest based on four years of continuous service and have five-year contractual terms.
 
 A summary of option activity under the 2010 Plan as of December 31, 2010, and changes during the year then ended is presented below:

 The aggregate intrinsic value of both stock options outstanding and stock options exercisable at December 31, 2010 was zero.
 
 As of December 31, 2010, total compensation cost related to non-vested employee stock options and non-vested non-employee stock options not yet recognized was $143,661 and $91,814, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over the next two years on a weighted-average basis.
 
 Expense Information
 
 The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees, directors and non-employees based upon estimated fair values.  The Company recorded $792 and $41,218, respectively, of compensation expense in 2010 related to employee option grants and non-employee option grants made in December 2010. The stock-based compensation expense is recorded in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
 Valuation Assumptions:
 The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model in determining its option expense.  The weighted-average estimated fair value of employee stock options and non-employee stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $0.1423 per share and $0.1676 per share, respectively.  The fair value of each employee option and non-employee option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is recognized as expense using the straight-line method over the requisite service period.  The Company periodically revalues non-employee stock options as they vest.  The ranges of assumptions used during 2010 are as follows:

 The expected volatility is based on the weighted average of the historical volatility of publicly traded surrogates in the Company’s peer group.
 
 The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon published interest rates appropriate for the expected life of the Company’s employee stock options.
 
 The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history of not paying dividends and no future expectations of dividend payouts.
 
 The expected life of the stock options represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and was determined based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior as influenced by changes to the terms of its stock-based awards.
  6.  Income Taxes
  The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  Further, ASC 740 gives guidance regarding the recognition of a tax position based on a "more likely than not" recognition threshold; that is, evaluating whether the position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.
 
 The Company’s federal filings prior to December 31, 2007 and the Company’s California filings prior to December 31, 2006 are no longer subject to examination.  However, to the extent allowed by law, the taxing authorities may have the right to examine prior periods where NOLs were generated and carried forward, and make adjustments up to the amount of the carryforwards. The Company is not currently under examination by the IRS or state taxing authorities.
 
 For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 the provisions for income taxes were as follows:

 The Company has provided a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets recorded as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 due to uncertainties regarding the realization of such assets.
 
 The net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2010 was an increase of approximately $398,000.  The net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2009 was an increase of approximately $946,000.  In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  The Company considers projected future taxable income and planning strategies in making this assessment.  Based on the level of historical operating results and projections for the taxable income for the future, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to zero.  There can be no assurance that the Company will ever be able to realize the benefit of some or all of the federal and state loss carryforwards, either due to ongoing operating losses or due to ownership changes, which limit the usefulness of the loss carryforwards.
 
 As of December 31, 2010, the Company has available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7,200,000 for federal income tax purposes, which will start to expire in 2026.  The net operating loss carryforwards for state purposes are approximately $7,200,000 and will start to expire in 2016.
 
 The difference between the provision for income taxes and income taxes computed using the U.S. federal income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was as follows:

 The Company has determined that during 2010 it experienced a “change of ownership” as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.  As such, utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and credits generated before the 2010 change in ownership will be limited to approximately $207,000 per year until such carryforwards are fully utilized.  The pre change net operating loss carryforward was approximately $7,000,000.
 
 7.  Fair Value Measurements
  Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the authoritative guidance establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. This hierarchy requires companies to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. On a recurring basis, the Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, including its derivative liability.
 
 F-19
 Table of Contents
  At December 31 2010, the Company recorded a liability related to the variable maturity feature and the future issuance of warrants / shares in connection with its Bridge Notes (See Note 4) at its fair market value of $334,478 utilizing unobservable inputs.  The change in fair market value of these liabilities is included in Other Income (Expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.  The assumptions used in the Monte-Carlo simulation used to value the derivative liability involve expected volatility in the Company’s common stock, estimated probabilities related to the occurrence of a future financing, and interest rates.  As all the assumptions employed to measure this liability are based on management’s judgment using internal and external data, this fair value determination is classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
  The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2010:

  During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company negotiated settlement agreements with regards to previously recorded liabilities of $270,565.  The Company paid $71,164 to settle these liabilities, and recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $199,401 in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
 9.  Concentrations
  During the year ended December 31, 2010, two customers accounted for 36% and 13%, respectively, of our revenues.  During the year ended December 31, 2009, two customers accounted for 20% and 13%, respectively, of our revenues.  At December 31, 2010, the accounts receivable balances for these two customers were $3,876 and $7,707, respectively.  At December 31, 2009, the accounts receivable balances for these two customers were $0 and $2,097, respectively.  The loss of any of these customers could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.
 
 10.  Commitments and Contingencies
 
 Litigation
  In August 2008, the Company and certain employees, shareholders and directors (the “Plaintiffs”) initiated litigation against its former Chief Executive Officer (the “Defendant”) alleging criminal conduct against the financial interests and reputation of the Company.  The Defendant countersued the Company.  In December 2009, a judgment was entered in the Plaintiffs’ favor awarding damages and enjoining the Defendant from certain behavior prejudicial to the Company.  The Company has not recognized any gains from the damages that may be paid to the Company in the future due to the uncertainty of their ultimate realization.  Additionally, in a separate court action the Company has been enjoined against the payment of any amounts owed to the Defendant, including amounts due under a note payable noted above.
 
 F-20
 Table of Contents
  During 2009, two former employees of the Company brought complaints before the Labor Commissioner of the State of California, seeking payment of unpaid back wages, accrued time off and bonuses.  The Company entered into a settlement agreement with one of the employees and had a judgment entered in favor of the other that required the payment to them of a total of $57,841, in full satisfaction of all liabilities.  This amount was renegotiated with both parties and settled in October 2010 for $39,686, and no ongoing liability for this matter exists.
 Operating Lease
 
 The Company has a lease agreement for its office facilities through June 2012.  Monthly rents were $5,376 at December 31, 2010 and increase over time to $5,815 in January 2012.  Deferred rent at December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $69,142 and $3,262, respectively.  Rent expense (including related common area maintenance charges) was $72,986 and $71,765 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  On October 11, 2010, the Company executed a lease amendment to increase deferred rent by $65,100, the amount delinquent in its payment of rent under its lease in back rent, common area maintenance charges, and late charges.  This amount will be paid in 12 equal installments of $5,425 beginning June, 2011, through May, 2012.  Future lease amounts due under the lease agreement (as stated on December 31, 2010 and not including common area maintenance charges) total; $105,000 - 2011; and $62,000 - 2012.
 
 Other
 
 At December 31, 2010, the Company was delinquent with respect to the payment of wages earned by current employees due to an insufficient balance of cash on hand at the time the payrolls were due to be paid to the employees.  Ahead of the Merger, employees agreed to convert the majority of the delinquent payments to equity in CommerceTel, Inc.  The employees have agreed to continue their employment in the expectation of eventual payment of the remaining amounts due.  It is the Company’s full intention to satisfy or reach a settlement with all past due balances outstanding, which total approximately $45,000 at December 31, 2010.
 
 11.  Employee Benefit Plan
  The Company has an employee savings plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), covering all of its employees.  Participants in the Plan may contribute a percentage of compensation, but not in excess of the maximum allowed under the Code.  The Company may make contributions at the discretion of its Board of Directors.  During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company made no contributions to the Plan.
 
 12.  Related Party Transactions
  During the year ended December 31, 2009, a shareholder in CTel Canada (“the Lender”) advanced the Company $173,615 against future collections of identified accounts receivable.  The advances were discounted a total of $20,150 (included in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2009) and are otherwise non-interest bearing.  All advances were due in full at or prior to the collection of the related accounts receivable which last occurred on September 24, 2009.  The Company and stockholder agreed in October 2010 that the outstanding amount of $84,158 would be settled with 210,394 shares of CommerceTel, Inc., which were subsequently exchanged for 152,914 shares of CommerceTel Corporation as part of the Merger.
  During the year ended December 31, 2010 a consulting agreement was entered into with an existing shareholder of CTel Canada, the former parent of CommerceTel, Inc., totaling payments of $80,000 and concluded in September 2010.  The Company and stockholder agreed in October 2010 that the amount would be settled with 200,000 shares of CommerceTel, Inc., which were subsequently exchanged for 145,359 shares of CommerceTel Corporation as part of the Merger.

  During the year ended December 31, 2010 a consulting agreement was entered into with an existing shareholder of CTel Canada, the former parent of CommerceTel, Inc., totaling payments of $15,000 and concluded on September 30, 2010.  The consulting agreement was paid in full.
  Hidden River Ventures I, LLC is an existing shareholder in CommerceTel Corporation as a result of converting $229,000 of payables in exchange for 415,937 shares of CommerceTel Corporation common stock.  On October 26, 2010, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a related company under common control, Hidden River, LLC, pursuant to which Hidden River, LLC would lead the Company’s acquisition strategy.  The consulting agreement calls for monthly payments of $10,000, along with periodic bonus payments associated with the success of the acquisition strategy, as well as options to purchase 700,000 shares granted on December 24, 2010 priced at $.32 per share.  Of the options granted, 175,000 options were vested as of December 24, 2010.
 
 13.  Subsequent Events
  Employment Agreement
  On January 11, 2011, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Dennis Becker.  Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Becker will serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer for an initial term of three years from December 24, 2010 (the “Effective Date”).  Unless terminated no less than 90 days prior to the expiration date by either party, the agreement is renewed automatically for successive one year periods.
