Description of Business and Going Concern
 
 
a)
Description of Business
 
m-Wise Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation that develops interactive messaging platforms for mobile phone-based commercial applications, transactions, and information services with internet billing capabilities.
 
The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, m-Wise Ltd., is located in Israel and was incorporated in 2000 under the laws of Israel.
 
 
b)
Going Concern
 
The Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has negative cash flows from operations with negative working capital that raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, and 2008, the Company experienced working capital deficit of $478,023 (2008 - $508,072).
 
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is also contingent upon its ability to secure additional financing, continuing sale of its products and attaining profitable operations.
 
The Company is pursuing additional financing, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure financing when needed or obtain financing on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all.
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
 
a)
Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.
 
Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for future interim periods or for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
 
 
b)
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-1," Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No.13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13," ("FSP 157-1") and FSP No. 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157," ("FSP 157-2"), as amendments to SFAS No.157. FSP 157-1 and FSP 157-2 exclude lease transactions from the scope of SFAS No. 157 and also defer the effective date of the adoption of SFAS 157 for certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. In October of 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-3, "Determining the Fair Value of Financial Assets When the Market for That Asset is Not Active." ("FSP 15-3") as an amendment to SFAS No. 157, clarifying the application of SFAS No. 157 in a non-active market. The Company adopted FSP 157-1 in 2008 and FSP 157-2 and FSP 157-3 in the first quarter 2009 and they did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, other than additional disclosure. See Note 13 for further discussion.

c)
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards (cont'd)
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued the following new accounting standards:
 
i) FASB Staff Position FAS 157-4, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not Orderly", or FSP FAS 157-4, provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS 157. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional authoritative guidance in determining whether a market is active or inactive, and whether a transaction is distressed. This FSP is applicable to all assets and liabilities (i.e. financial and nonfinancial) and will require enhanced disclosures.
 
ii) FASB Staff Position FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, "Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments", or FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, provides additional guidance to provide greater clarity about the credit and noncredit component of an other-than-temporary impairment event and to more effectively communicate when an other-than-temporary impairment event has occurred. This FSP applies to debt securities.
 
iii) FASB Staff Position FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", or FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, amends FASB Statement No.107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting", to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements.
 
These standards are effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact these standards will have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 111 (“SAB 111”), which amends SAB Topic 5-M. SAB 111 notes that FSP No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2 were scoped to debt securities only, and the FSP referred readers to SEC SAB Topic 5-M for factors to consider with respect to other-than-temporary impairments for equity securities. With the amendments in SAB 111, debt securities are excluded from the scope of Topic 5-M, but the SEC staff’s views on equity securities are still included within the topic. The Company currently does not have any financial assets that are other-than-temporary impaired.

Advances from Stockholder
 
The advances from the Company's major stockholder are non-interest bearing, unsecured and have no fixed terms of repayment. According to an agreement dated January 2003, the stockholder granted a credit facility of $500,000 to the Company in return for preferred class "C" shares as described in note 6.  As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the line of credit had an outstanding balance of $299,484 and $305,876, respectively.
 
5.
Accrued Severance Pay
 
The Company accounts for its potential severance liability of its Israeli subsidiary in accordance with EITF 88-1, "Determination of Vested Benefit Obligation for a Defined Benefit Pension Plan". The Company's liability for severance pay is calculated pursuant to applicable labour laws in Israel on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of the balance sheet date for all employees. The Company's liability is fully accrued and reduced by monthly deposits with severance pay funds and insurance policies.  As at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the amount of the liabilities accrued were $263,436 and $272,653, respectively. Severance pay expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009, and 2008 were $16,444 and $25,218 respectively.

Accrued Severance Pay   (cont'd)
 
The Company makes monthly payments to the severance funds with insurance companies, that the employees choose. The amounts deposited with the insurance companies are not under the control or administration of the Company. The insurance companies are governed by local regulations that limit the asset allocation in high risk assets.
 
The deposit funds include profits accumulated up to the balance sheet date from the Israeli company. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to Israeli severance pay laws or labour agreements.  Cash surrender values of the deposit funds as of March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, were $161,030 and $158,022, respectively.  Income earned from the deposit funds for 2009, and 2008, was immaterial.

Warrants
 
In April 2000, 56,180 warrants, equivalent to 337,080 shares after the Company's six-for-one forward stock split, were issued to one of the stockholders with his preferred Class "A" shares for a total investment of $750,000. The warrants will expire in the event of an initial public offering of the Company's securities. The warrants have an exercise price for preferred Class "A" shares of the Company at $4.45 per share, equivalent to $0.74 after the six-for-one forward stock split.  No value has been assigned to the warrants and the total investment net of par value of preferred Class "A" shares has been presented as additional paid-in capital.  The warrants for preferred Class "A" shares were converted into warrants for common shares on a one-to-one basis in 2003.

Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No.109"). This standard prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates. The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated.

Income Taxes (cont'd)
 
Under SFAS No. 109, income taxes are recognized for the following: a) amount of tax payable for the current year, and b) deferred tax liabilities and assets for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. Management determined that the values of its assets and liabilities recorded for financial reporting purposes are not materially different from their values for income tax purposes and therefore, no deferred tax assets/liabilities have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements to account for the temporary differences.
 
There are no differences between the Company's reported income tax expense on operating income and the expense that would otherwise result from the application of statutory rates. The Company's non capital loss carryforwards are being used to offset the current income tax expense.
 
The Company has deferred income tax assets as follows:

Deferred income tax assets

For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company provided a valuation allowance equal to the deferred income tax assets because it is not presently more likely than not that they will be realized.
 
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had approximately   $11,942,000 tax loss carryforwards in the United States. Tax loss carryforwards in the United States, if not utilized, will expire in 20 years from the year of origin as follows:

Fair Value Measurements
 
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, except as it applies to the nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities subject to FSP SFAS 157-2.  SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value is 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 a liability.  As a basis for considering such assumptions, SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
 
Level 1 -
Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
Level 2 -
Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
 
Level 3 -
Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
 
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
 
Cash and short term investment (level 1), accounts receivable, accounts payable-trade, other payables and accrued expenses and advances from stockholder (level 2) are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
 
The fair value of the financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

This filing contains forward-looking statements. The words "anticipate," "believe," "expect, "plan," "intend," "seek," "estimate," "project," "will," "could," "may," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include, among others, information regarding future operations, future capital expenditures, and future net cash flow. Such statements reflect our management’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation: (a) the timing of our sales could fluctuate and lead to performance delays; (b) without additional equity or debt financing we cannot carry out our business plan; (c) our stockholders have pre-emptive rights to purchase securities of m-Wise, which could impair our ability to raise capital; (d) we operate internationally and are subject to currency fluctuations, which could cause us to incur losses even if our operations are profitable; (e) we are dependent upon certain major customers, and the loss of one or more of such customers could adversely affect our revenues and profitability; (f) our research and development facilities are located in Israel and we have important facilities and resources located in Israel which could be negatively affected due to military or political tensions; (g) certain of our officers and employees are required to serve in the Israel defense forces and this could force them to be absent from our business for extended periods; (h) the rate of inflation in Israel may negatively impact our costs if it exceeds the rate of devaluation of the NIS against the U.S. Dollar. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, believed, estimated or otherwise indicated. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report.  Subject at all times to relevant federal and state securities law disclosure requirements, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any update or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.  Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance of the actual results or developments.

OVERVIEW

We were incorporated in February 2000, and commenced operations immediately thereafter. We initially primarily provided pan-European wireless application service provider operations by hosted MOMA Platform services to customers in the United Kingdom, Spain, France and Italy. We established data centers in Spain, Italy, and France that were connected to our main data center in the United Kingdom. We had connectivity and billing arrangements with cellular operators that enabled us to provide our hosted services. We gained strong credibility and experience as a wireless application service provider during calendar years 2000 and 2001, while we continued to build and develop our wireless middleware product. However, due to the high costs and low revenues in the European wireless application service provider (ASP) market, in 2002, our management decided to transition our focus away from pan-European wireless application service providers, toward installing and licensing our middleware technology at cellular operators and wireless application service providers worldwide, and to operate through original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and regional sales representatives to sell our products.  Our shift away from hosted wireless application services using our Platform enabled us to focus more on the core middleware benefits of our technology in fiscal 2002.

During calendar 2002, we channeled our research and development efforts to enhance and update our middleware technology to interface with advanced and emerging wireless technologies such as MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service - delivery of highly enhanced images and audio files) and J2ME, which utilizes Java programming technology built into certain cellular phones, enables applications to be written once for a wide range of devices, to be downloaded dynamically, and to leverage each device’s native capabilities. We also upgraded our middleware platform to incorporate modules for application deployment and management, for centralized management of multiple value added services and multiple third-party content and media providers, and for managing increased data traffic and real-time billing and reporting requirements.  In addition, we restructured our sales efforts toward establishing distribution channels via OEMs and partnerships with major IT vendors and system integrators.  In fiscal 2003, we had to direct our research and development resources in an effort to respond to specific business opportunities that were introduced to us by our distributors and original equipment manufacturers, and to be able to meet our customers’ enhanced requirements in elements such as increased transactions volume support and new J2ME possibilities.
 
During calendar 2004, we followed the market evolution with respect to the enhanced ability to deliver downloadable content directly to mobile phones and invested significant research and development efforts to comply with such new market trends. We substantially improved the MOMA Platform mobile content management abilities, especially with respect to content adaptation to a growing number and types of mobile handsets, and connectivity between the MOMA platform and content presentation layers such as Internet and WAP interfaces. We also concluded sales agreements with new wireless operators and wireless application service provider clients, and at the same time, improved our product positioning in the market.

During calendar 2005, we continued to follow-up with the rapid changes in the mobile entertainment market, especially with the growing introduction of enhanced mobile entertainment services through the third generation infrastructure for wireless services, and the continuous development of wireless handsets and their ability to present higher levels of multi media. We invested significant research and development efforts in complying with these changes, and indeed, the delivery of enhanced mobile entertainment services became a central part of the MOMA Platform functionalities. We also identified a growing trend in the market that many potential customers preferred to outsource platform functionalities to service providers (ASPs) rather than to purchase platform and install on site (Customer Premises Model) and we invested significant funds and efforts in the infrastructure that was required for this ASP model. During 2006, we invested extensive efforts in establishing our customer base and expanding our distribution channels, by enhancing our technology and expanding the terms and scope of our relationships with our customers.

During calendar 2007, we were able to acquire prestige and market leader customers, and strengthen the profit share model that we began developing in 2005. We signed profit share based deals with News International, part of the News Corp group, to deliver mobile entertainment services in conjunction of leading UK newspapers, The Sun and The Times. We signed a profit share based deal with Telcogames, a leading mobile games company, to provide a hosted environment for the delivery of their services to their customers. This deal expanded the reach of our technology and it made it available to the large market of mobile games provider which we actively pursue. We signed a deal with Arvato Mobile, part of the great media group Bertelsmann and one of the largest leaders in mobile entertainment worldwide, to provide large variety of mobile content management and delivery services on a profit share model. We also strengthened our relationships with existing customers such as Thumbplay, SupportComm, Logia Mobile and Interchan (formerly Comtrend) by providing the needed support and technical expertise to their expansion and expanding the basis for cooperation. We clearly saw that our business shift made in 2005 from a license model to profit share model started to bear the desired outcome by generating a stable business environment for recurring revenues and consistently increasing profitability. Also during 2007, we made considerable business development investments in the penetration into the US market and the establishment of a local sales and marketing presence.

During calendar 2008, we expanded our business in our primary markets of the USA and Brazil. Our US presence, which we established in 2007, is developing and expanding as we had hoped, and we signed new deals in this territory this year. We have geared our special expertise in the mobile entertainment industry and signed deals with records labels such as Universal Motown Republic Group and Interscope which are part of the Universal Records Group, to deliver various artist specific mobile content experience. We started working with the leading WPP advertising agency, Burson Marsteller, and delivered a relatively small mobile marketing project for them with the expectation to become their selected technology partner in this market segment and launch additional projects in 2009. We also laid the groundwork for two additional significant business deals in the US which we expect to execute early in 2009. We also secured two major deals in the territory of Brazil with Zero 9 and David2Mobile’s Boltcel, leaders in the Italian mobile entertainment market that plan to launch their services in Brazil using our technology. We expect to see significant results of these deals in 2009. We have also been able to strengthen our partnerships with existing customers, Thumbplay, Arvato Mobile, Interchan, Logia Mobile and Supportcomm and have been able to benefit from the revenue share model that we have established with some of them and see growth in our revenues following their growth in business. Unfortunately we have had to depart from customers such as The Sun newspaper (one of the accounts we had in News International), due to expiration of our contract, and Telcogames, due to Telcogames bankruptcy procedures. We have seen the implication of the global economy downturn reflected in the activity of some of our customers, yet despite that, we have seen a significant improvement in our revenue growth of 23% since 2007.
 
During the first quarter of 2009, we expanded our business in our primary markets of the USA and Brazil. Our US presence, which we established in late 2007, has developed and expanded as we had hoped, and we signed new deals in this territory. We have geared our special expertise in the mobile marketing industry and signed deals with leading players such as The Secret and WPP’s advertising and PR agency Burson Marsteller. We have also launched a major customer in the Brazilian market and we expect to see significant revenues coming from this customer this year. We have further created a strategic alliance with Ozonion, an important player in the Brazilian mobile entertainment market and we expect to see new deals coming through this partnership. We have seen the implication of the global economy downturn reflected in the activity of some of our customers, yet despite that, we have seen a significant improvement in our revenue growth of 16% from the comparative quarter of last year.

For the rest of calendar 2009, we plan to emphasize the resource-saving advantages of our technology, and are planning to target those potential customers who can significantly benefit from outsourcing their technical services to us instead of continuing the research and development in-house. We believe that 2009 will be characterized by serious efforts by many enterprises to save on expenses as a result of the current state of the global economy, and we plan to offer our relative advantages in that respect. Additionally, we intend to deepen our presence in the emerging market of Brazil and expand our business alliances in that region with an objective to expand beyond Brazil and extend our technology offering to large neighboring regions such as Mexico and Argentina. We also plan to expand further into the mobile entertainment market in the USA, especially in the music market, and leverage our existing relationship with Universal Records to gain additional mobile entertainment and infotainment deals. In all cases, we plan to continue our software-as-a-service based business model and use our successes in an effort to generate reoccurring revenues that will provide us with future stability.

We believe that the strength of our technology and position in the market allows some of our potential customers to become more effective with our technology and therefore, despite of the global economy downturn and based on the current sales pipeline we have, we expect 2009 to be another year of growth in revenues where we expect to achieve profitability.

Our revenues grew 16% from $682,577 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $792,779 in the three months ended March 31, 2009, and from $2,295,260 in the year ended December 31, 2007 to $2,833,626   in the year ended December 31, 2008. Management believes that our efforts to refocus our resources towards building relationships with OEMs may yield additional contracts. Although we are currently involved in negotiations for several new contracts, there can be no assurance that such contracts will be secured or that they will generate significant revenue. We derive revenues from product sales, licensing, revenue share, customer services and technical support.

When we license our MOMA Platform solutions to our customers, we generate revenues by receiving a license payment, ongoing support fees, which are typically 15% of the annual license payment, and professional service fees, which are generated from our customers’ request for additional training, IT administration and tailoring of our products for their specific needs. When we license our products to our customers, we install our product at a location specified by our client. We also derive revenue through our hosted services, whereby we enable customers to remotely use features of our MOMA Platform (such as a mobile content sales and delivery service for ring tones and color images), which is installed and hosted at our location, and receive a set-up fee for launching the services for them, as well as a portion of our customer's revenues generated through our platform. When we provide hosted services, we maintain the MOMA Platform at our location on behalf of our customer.

Customers and customer concentration . Historically, we have derived the majority of our revenues from a small number of customers and, although our customer base is expanding, we expect to continue to do so in the future. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, approximately 35% of our sales were derived from sales to Thumbplay, 18% to Arvato Mobile and 17% to Comtrend Corporation.  For the three months ended March 31, 2008, approximately 48% of our sales were derived from sales to Thumbplay , 11% to mBlox, 10% to Arvato Mobile and 10% to Comtrend Corporation. In the year ended December 31, 2008, approximately 45% of our sales were derived from sales to Thumbplay, 17% to Arvato Mobile and 9% to Comtrend Corporation.

Geographical breakdown . We sell our products primarily to customers in America and the Far East. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we derived 67% of our revenues from sales in America, 17% from sales in the Far East and 16% from sales in Europe. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we derived 71% of our revenues from sales in America, 19% from sales in Europe and 10% from sales in the Far East. Of these revenues, 99% were derived from sales by the Company, and 1% of our revenues were derived from sales by our subsidiary.

Cost of revenues

Customer services and technical support cost of revenues consist of the salary and related costs for our technical staff that provide those services and support and related overhead expenses.

Operating expense

Research and development . Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses of our research and development staff, as well as subcontracting expenses. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred except equipment purchases that are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

General and administrative . Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses of our executive, financial, administrative and sales and marketing staff. These expenses also include costs of professional advisors such as legal and accounting experts, depreciation expenses as well as expenses related to advertising, professional expenses and participation in exhibitions and tradeshows.

Financing income and expenses

Financing income consists primarily of interest earned on our cash equivalents balances and other financial investments and foreign exchange gains. Financing expenses consist primarily of interest payable on bank loans and foreign exchange losses.

Critical Accounting Policies .

 We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available.

These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of the periods presented. To fully understand and evaluate our reported consolidated financial results, we believe it is important to understand our revenue recognition policy.

Revenue recognition . Revenues from products sales are recognized on a completed-contract basis, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB No. 101"), Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition", and Statement of Position 81-1, "Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts". We have primarily short-term contracts whereby revenues and costs in the aggregate for all contracts is expected to result in a matching of gross profit with period overhead or fixed costs similar to that achieved by use of the percentage-of-completion method. Accordingly, financial position and results of operations would not vary materially from those resulting from the use of the percentage-of- completion method. Revenue is recognized only after all the three stages of deliverables are complete; installation, approval of acceptance tests results by the customer and when the product is successfully put into real-life application. Customers are billed, according to individual agreements, a percentage of the total contract fee upon completion of work in each stage; approximately 40% for installation, 40% upon approval of acceptance tests by the customer and the balance of the total contract price when the software is successfully put into real-life application. The revenues, less its associated costs, are deferred and recognized on completion of the contract and customer acceptance. Amounts received for work performed in each stage are not refundable.

On-going service and technical support contracts are negotiated separately at an additional fee. The technical support is separate from the functionality of the products, which can function without on-going support.

Technology license revenues are recognized in accordance with SAB No. 101 at the time the technology and license is delivered to the customer, collection is probable, the fee is fixed and determinable, a persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, no significant obligation remains under the sale or licensing agreement and no significant customer acceptance requirements exist after delivery of the technology.

Revenue share is recognized as earned based on a certain percentage of our clients' revenues from selling services to end users. Usage is determined by receiving confirmation from the clients.

Revenues relating to customer services and technical support are recognized as the services are rendered ratably over the period of the related contract.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009, COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008.
 
Revenues

License fees and products. Revenues from license fees and products decreased 40% to $99,999 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $167,519 for the same period in 2008. This decrease in revenues of $67,520 was derived from a one time license fee paid in 2008.

Revenue share. Revenues from revenue share increased 61% to $329,242 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $204,798 for the same period in 2008.   The increase is primarily due to revenues received from current customers who were not our customers during 2008 and from customers that did not previously generate revenues from selling services to end users.

Customer services and technical support. Revenues from customer services and technical support increased 17% to $363,538 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $310,260 for the same period in 2008.

Cost of revenues.

Cost of revenues decreased 23% to $178,365 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $232,776 for the same period in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to lower costs associated with our revenue share income.

Operating expenses.

Research and development .

Research and development expenses decreased 32% to $139,119 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $205,226 for the same period in 2008. This decrease was primarily due to a $54,129 decrease in payroll and related expenses. Research and development expenses, stated as a percentage of revenues decreased to 18% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from 30% for the same period in 2008.

General and administrative.

General and administrative expenses decreased 22% to $335,052 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $431,382 for the same period in 2008. This decrease was primarily due to a $47,035 decrease in payroll and related expenses and a $29,237 decrease in marketing expenses. General and administrative expenses, stated as a percentage of revenues, decreased to 42% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from 63% for the same period in 2008.

Financing income and expenses.

Financing income was $11,825 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared with financing expenses of $23,085 for the same period in 2008.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity since our inception have been private sales of equity securities, stockholder loans, borrowings from banks and to a lesser extent, cash from operations. We had cash and cash equivalents of $282,018 as of March 31, 2009 and $169,206 as of December 31, 2008. Our initial capital came from an aggregate investment of $1.3 million from Cap Ventures Ltd. To date, we have raised an aggregate of $5,300,000 from placements of our equity securities (including the investment by Cap Ventures and a $4,000,000 investment by Syntek Capital AG and DEP Technology Holdings Ltd.). We have also borrowed an aggregate of $1,800,000 from Syntek Capital AG and DEP Technology Holdings Ltd. and as of the date of this quarterly report we have no funds available to us under bank lines of credit. We have a credit line agreement for $500,000 with Miretzky Holdings Limited. As of March 31, 2009, $299,484 is outstanding under the credit line. The credit line has no termination date and does not provide for interest payments.

Other than the credit line agreement with Miretzky, we do not have any commitments from any of our affiliates or current stockholders, or any other non-affiliated parties, to provide additional sources of capital to us. We have an equity line for $10.0 million with Dutchess Private Equity Fund and as of March 31, 2009 and May 14, 2009 we have drawn $828,675 under the Equity Line. We will need approximately $1.8 million for the next twelve months for our operating costs which mainly include salaries, office rent and network connectivity, which total approximately $130,000 per month, and for working capital. We intend to finance this amount from our ongoing sales and through the sale of our debt or equity securities or a combination thereof, to affiliates, current stockholders and/or new investors. Currently we do not believe that our future capital requirements for equipment and facilities will be material.

Operating activities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, net cash provided by operating activities was $120,973 primarily due to our net earnings of $152,068 and $54,354 in employee vested options expense, partially offset by a $58,234 decrease in other payables and accrued expenses and a $17,678 increase in accounts receivable - trade. In the same period in 2008, net cash used in operating activities was $259,480 primarily due to our net loss of $209,892 and a $78,673 decrease in other payables and accrues expenses, partially offset by $86,269 in employee vested options expense.

Investing and financing activities.

Property and equipment consist primarily of computers, software, and office equipment. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, net cash used in investing activities was $1,769 consisting of an investment of $1,769 in equipment. In the same period in 2008, net cash used in investing activities was $3,346 consisting of an investment in equipment.  For the three months ended March 31, 2009, net cash used in financing activities was $6,392 due to a decrease in advances from shareholders. In the same period in 2008, net cash provided by financing activities was $5,858 primarily due to a $5,204 increase in bank indebtedness.
 
Dividends

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain any earnings for use in our business, and therefore do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectivness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were (1) effective in ensuring that material information relating to us is made known to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer by others within the Company, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and (2) effective in that they provide that material information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act  is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, to allow for timely decisions.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
