1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 -------------------------------------------------------------------

 Nature of operations - ProtoSource Corporation, formerly SHR
 Corporation doing business as Software Solutions Company (the Company),
 was incorporated on July 1, 1988, under the laws of the state of
 California. Until May 1, 2002, the Company was an Internet service
 provider (ISP). The Company provided dial-up Internet access, web
 hosting services and web development services. On May 1, 2002, the
 Company entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of the
 assets pertaining to the ISP to Brand X Networks, Inc. On August 16,
 2007, the Company exercised its security interests and entered into a
 foreclosure acquisition agreement with Brand X Networks, Inc., taking
 possession of its business assets as collateral due to its inability to
 pay its debt to the Company. These assets were transferred to
 ProtoSource Acquisition II, Inc., a Nevada corporation (incorporated
 August 15, 2007) and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, on
 September 1, 2007. Effective September 1, 2007, the Company provides
 bilingual technical support services, web-hosting, and Internet
 connectivity (see Note 3).

 Effective January 1, 2004, the Company acquired P2i Newspaper, LLC (see
 Note 4). P2i Newspaper is principally engaged in the conversion of text
 and graphics from print to interactive Web content. Its clients include
 newspaper groups located in the United States and the United Kingdom.
 P2i Newspaper is headquartered in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and has a
 data conversion center located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.


 Interim Financial Statements - The accompanying financial statements
 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited, and
 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
 Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and
 note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements
 prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of
 the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
 those rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim financial
 statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
 statements and notes thereto contained in ProtoSource Corporation (the
 "Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
 2008, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2009. The results of operations
 for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily
 indicative of results to be expected for other interim periods or for
 the full fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the information
 contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair
 statement of the interim results of operations. All such adjustments
 are of a normal, recurring nature. Certain reclassifications have been
 made to the prior year amounts to conform to the current year
 presentation.

 The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited
 financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of
 the SEC, but does not include all disclosures required for financial
 statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
 principles of the United States of America.


 The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
 of the Company and its subsidiaries. All of the Company's subsidiaries
 are wholly owned for the periods presented. All intercompany
 transactions have been eliminated.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------

 Basis of presentation - The accompanying unaudited consolidated
 financial statements of the Company are prepared in conformity with
 generally accepted accounting principles. The disclosures presented are
 sufficient, in management's opinion, to make the interim information
 presented not misleading. All adjustments consisting of normal
 recurring adjustments, which are necessary so as to make the interim
 information not misleading, have been made. Results of operations for
 the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of
 the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period.
 It is recommended that this financial information be read with the
 complete financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report
 on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 previously filed with
 the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying condensed
 consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
 basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
 satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The
 financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
 recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the
 amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should
 the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's
 continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to
 generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations on a timely
 basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and to
 generate revenues to a level where the Company becomes profitable.
 These measures are essential, as the Company has experienced cash
 liquidity shortfalls from operations.

 The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to
 achieve its operating plan. Management's plans include the following:

 o Obtaining additional working capital through the sale of common
 stock or debt securities.

 o The ability of ProtoSource to successfully implement its
 strategic plan as follows:

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

 ProtoSource's primary focus is the delivery of ePublishing Solutions
 and related services, to newspapers, retailers, and magazines,
 utilizing internally-developed, proprietary applications bridging the
 divide between traditional print revenue and the opportunities online
 via a coordinated sales and marketing strategy in the United States and
 Europe. Secondarily, but of strategic importance, the Company operates
 a technical support facility in Fresno, CA. These two distinct suites
 of services and solutions are offered by the Company's two principle
 operating units: P2i Newspapers and ProtoSource Acquisition II dba
 BX-Solutions.:

 P2i Newspaper delivers products and services tailored specifically to
 create online versions of print content, primarily for the print and
 publishing industries.

 The Company's proprietary system allows for the normalization of
 diverse forms of data, including text and graphics, which can be
 integrated by a seamless, dynamic, and highly customizable
 front-end interface. This allows customers to have their data
 re-purposed for new revenue generation. It also serves to
 enhance the customer's own productivity by enabling more
 effective information management and exchange between themselves
 and their end customers, who both gain greater satisfaction
 through the enhanced interactivity.

 Every day of the week, 52 weeks a year, P2i receives electronic
 files from customers at its facility in Cyberjaya, just south of
 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. P2i employs approximately 100 staff in
 this 6,000 square foot office. Incoming data files are processed
 overnight for delivery the following morning. Data is delivered
 not only to P2i's web servers for seamless integration into our
 clients' existing, hosted web sites, but also distributed back
 to clients and their business partners in a wide range of
 formats. The combination of low labor costs, a well-educated
 labor pool fluent in English, and sophisticated technologies
 makes P2i effective and competitive.

 The online presentation and Web enablement of the Company's
 clients' content is the key to efficient, effective Web
 presence, and the ensuing revenues and profits such a presence
 will yield. The Company takes either the same electronic files
 that generate print output, or existing online content in the
 public domain and uses that content to deliver a vastly
 enhanced, user friendly, online presence, adding a myriad of
 user-friendly features that are unique to Web-based
 presentations. This cost-effective solution perfectly transfers
 the client's known brand identity to the Internet, and
 integrates into the delivery all the inherent E-commerce,
 interactive and database features needed to maximize its impact
 and benefits.

 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------

 Services of P2i Newspaper comprise the following:

 Hosted Solutions - Publishers large and small may use the
 Company's array of customizable, turnkey, hosted products for
 entire publications, sections and vertical-specific solutions.
 Utilizing proprietary technology, the Company converts print
 content comprising editorial and media ads into interactive,
 online content that is seamlessly incorporated into existing
 newspaper/publisher web sites. At the end of every business
 day, publishing clients transmit to the Company the same
 electronic versions of ads and pages that go to press. These
 files are received by the Company's production group,
 processed, quality checked, and delivered to the hosting
 servers by the start of the following business day.

 Data Extraction - Customers utilizing in-house or third party
 solutions may rely upon the Company's ability to database
 incoming content down to the minutest subset. The Company has
 solutions that will convert multiple forms of disparate
 electronic content and process them into one constant data
 flow as one of its specialties. Extracting relevant data
 points, merging consistencies and fielding content to produce
 a data feed, per the client's or third party's specifications,
 is at the core of the Company's technology. The ensuing data
 enables tight search functions and powers retail advertising
 web sites.

 Content Review - Because online content needs to reflect the
 values, relevance and accuracy that print institutions have
 embodied for centuries, the Company's Content Review team
 functions to examine thousands of items a day for retailers
 and newspapers, editing, proofing and determining relevancy.
 The staff reviews pricing, language, brand names, and scores
 of other specifics, delivering a critical component in the
 online publishing of user-generated content.

 Technical Support - The Company has also launched a
 poly-lingual Technical Support team. Unlike a traditional call
 center that scripts its responses, this functional group
 separates itself from the competition by providing a highly
 trained, technically skilled support person that is trained to
 understand the idiosyncrasies of customers' products and
 services to ensure each caller gets the best possible service.

 ProtoSource Acquisition II, Inc. dba BX Solutions delivers technical
 support, hosting and Internet access to telephone and Internet companies.

 The Company's second facility in Fresno, CA, operated by, and branded as,
 BX-Solutions, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which employs
 approximately 30 staff providing 24/7 English and Spanish technical
 support via incoming telephone calls to the customers of technology
 companies. These comprise small and mid-size Internet service and
 telecommunications providers in the United States. This facility also
 houses and manages servers for its own customers.

 Services of ProtoSource Acquisition II, Inc. dba BX Solutions comprise
 the following:

 Technical Support - Customers of BX offer their subscribers
 either Internet access and other related communications
 services. These include local and regional Internet access for
 consumers and businesses using dial-up, broadband and wireless
 connectivity. BX provides Bilingual technical support services
 on an outsource basis to these subscribers, 24/7/52.

 Dial-up Internet Services - BX has a very small local consumer
 network to which it provides Internet Services including
 connectivity, email and web hosting. Additionally BX
 provisions the same services under different brand names for
 other companies: these would be designated virtual Internet
 Service Providers as BX provides the entire infrastructure.

 Hosting - BX provides some hosting for its own customers.
 P2i's hosting has been relocated to different facility.

 The combination of on-target sales strategies, low labor costs, a
 well-educated labor pool fluent in English, and sophisticated
 technologies are key to the Company's competitive strategy. If
 management cannot sufficiently execute and achieve the above stated
 objectives, the Company may find it necessary to dispose of assets, or
 undertake other actions as may be appropriate.

 Net loss per basic and diluted share of common stock - Basic loss per
 share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares
 outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed on the basis of the
 weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period
 increased by the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options using the
 "treasury stock" method. The weighted average number of basic and
 diluted common shares outstanding includes:

 Actual shares issued and outstanding at March 31, 2009 9,927,329
 Stock subscriptions payable - note holders 2,750,000
 Stock subscriptions payable - investment banker 813,688
 Series B convertible preferred stock issued to P2i, Inc. (see Note 4) 19,383,531
 ----------

 32,874,548
 ==========

 The basic and diluted loss per share are the same since the Company had
 a net loss for 2009 and 2008 and the inclusion of stock options and
 other incremental shares would be anti-dilutive. Options and warrants
 to purchase 1,070,000 shares of common stock at March 31, 2009 and 2008
 were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share.

 Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the
 2008 financial statement presentation for comparability with the 2009
 financial statements.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 ------------------------------------

 In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 162, "The
 Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". This Statement
 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for
 selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial
 statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity
 with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United
 States (the GAAP hierarchy). This Statement shall be effective 60 days
 following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
 Board (PCAOB) amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present
 Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". The
 Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will not have an
 effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and
 cash flows.

 In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about
 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB
 Statement No. 133". This Statement requires additional disclosures about
 the objectives of the derivative instruments and hedging activities, the
 method of accounting for such instruments under SFAS No. 133 and its
 related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such
 instruments and related hedged items on our financial position, results
 of operations and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 was effective for the Company
 beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 has had no
 material effect on the Company's financial position, results of
 operation, or cash flows.

 In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), "Business
 Combinations" ("SFAS 141R"). SFAS 141R will significantly change the
 accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the
 treatment of contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition cost,
 research and development assets and restructuring costs. In addition,
 under SFAS 141R, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and
 acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination after the
 measurement period will impact income taxes. SFAS 141R was effective for
 the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 141R has had
 no material effect on the Company's financial position, results of
 operation, or cash flows.

 In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling
 Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, An Amendment of ARB No.
 51." SFAS 160 amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting
 standards for the noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary and for the
 deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also amends certain of ARB 51's
 consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of SFAS
 141R. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009.
 The statement shall be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the
 fiscal year in which the statement is initially adopted. The adoption of
 SFAS 160 has had no material effect on the Company's financial position,
 results of operations, or cash flows.

 In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value
 Measurements". SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to
 measure assets and liabilities. It also responds to investors' requests
 for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure
 assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure
 fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS
 No. 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or
 liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of
 fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for
 financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November
 15, 2007 and was required to be adopted by the Company in the first
 quarter of 2008. The adoption SFAS No. 157 did not have a material
 impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

3. Sale of ISP Division
 --------------------

 Effective May 1, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to sell
 substantially all of the assets of the ISP division to Brand X
 Networks, Inc., a California Corporation, for $632,000. The assets have
 been held and operated by Brand X Networks, Inc. for its purposes since
 May 1, 2002, at which time the Company discontinued its ISP operations.
 On April 14, 2003, the Company completed a fifth amendment to the
 purchase agreement with Brand X pursuant to which the Company agreed to
 accept an aggregate payment of $632,000 for the ISP Division, less
 credits to Brand X of $112,686. Of such amount, $200,000 was to be paid
 through the provision of services to the Company from Brand X, and the
 balance was to be paid at the rate of approximately $5,172 per month,
 until completely paid.

 On January 1, 2004, the sale of the ISP business to Brand X closed.
 Under the terms of that agreement a promissory note of $284,455 was
 executed by Brand X to be paid in 55 equal monthly installments. This
 note is collateralized by a pledge of shares in Brand X. In addition,
 ProtoSource was entitled to appoint one person to the board of
 directors of Brand X for the duration of the agreement.

 In an agreement dated March 2006, ProtoSource sold, assigned and
 transferred the promissory note it held in respect of the January 2004
 sale of its ISP business to Brand X Networks, Inc. to P2i, Inc., a
 related party. As set forth in this transaction, a new promissory note,
 secured by all the assets of Brand X Networks, Inc., was issued to P2i,
 Inc. in the net amount of $162,582. The principal with interest was to
 be paid in 33 equal monthly installments of $5,172, until completely
 paid. Because regular payments have not been made, this successor note
 was in default status and was fully reserved. During 2006, ProtoSource
 recovered $13,800 from the P2i, Inc. / Brand X Networks, Inc.
 promissory note arrangement. As the value of this note was written down
 to $0 at December 31, 2005, these payments were classified as "other
 income" in 2006.


 Foreclosure acquisition:

 On August 16, 2007 the Company exercised its security interests and
 entered into a foreclosure acquisition agreement with Brand X Networks,
 Inc., taking possession of its business assets as collateral due to its
 inability to pay its debt to the Company. These assets were transferred
 to ProtoSource Acquisition II, Inc., a Nevada corporation (incorporated
 August 15, 2007) and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, on
 September 1, 2007. Effective September 1, 2007, the Company provides
 bilingual technical support services, web-hosting, and Internet
 connectivity.

 In respect to the foreclosure acquisition agreement, ProtoSource
 Acquisition II, Inc. acquired computer equipment and software, office
 equipment, furniture and fixtures and prepaid expenditures valued at
 approximately $57,000. Furthermore, it assumed specific service
 provider and miscellaneous third party liabilities, and agreed to honor
 accrued vacation pay and unpaid expenses of former Brand X Networks,
 Inc. employees, most of whom were hired on September 1, 2007 by
 ProtoSource Acquisition II. These liabilities approximated $56,000. As
 a consequence of this action, a net recovery of approximately $1,000,
 classified as "other income", was recorded during 2007.

 Consideration given in respect to foreclosure acquisition:

 As a further component to the reacquisition of the collateralized
 assets of Brand X Networks, Inc., the Company gave consideration to
 P2i, Inc. (a related party) which became a controlling owner of Brand X
 Networks, Inc. through its March 2006 purchase of the original note
 held by the Company in respect to the sale of the Company's ISP assets
 to Brand X. In consideration for P2i, Inc.'s management and controlling
 interest in Brand X Networks, Inc., and such that P2i, Inc. would not
 act to oppose the matter of foreclosure on the assets of Brand X
 Networks, the Company forgave P2i, Inc.'s existing liabilities to the
 Company through August 28, 2007 and will continue to support P2i, Inc.
 in the discharge of liabilities (arising prior to the January 1, 2004
 P2i Newspaper merger with the Company) out of the Company's cash flow
 until such obligations are fully discharged. The value of this
 consideration is estimated to be $566,186, which has all been
 characterized as goodwill. This includes the net amount of $294,186
 outstanding to the Company as at August 28, 2007, plus an additional
 $272,000 in future obligations. As a consequence of this action, during
 2007, the Company recorded a $294,186 write-off of amounts due to the
 Company and recorded an obligation in accrued expenses of $272,000.
 Because of the related party nature of this goodwill, management has
 deemed it to be impaired and recorded the charge of $566,186 in other
 charges in the consolidated statement of operations in 2007.

 A summary of the components of goodwill related to this transaction are
 as follows:

 Forgiveness of amounts due from related party P2i, Inc. $ 294,186
 Obligation to related party P2i, Inc. assumed 272,000

4. P2i Newspaper
 -------------

 On February 13, 2003, the Company announced an agreement and Plan of
 Merger to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of P2i
 Newspaper, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("P2i Newspaper") and a
 wholly-owned subsidiary of P2i, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation
 ("P2i"), in exchange for the issuance of up to 19,383,531 shares of
 ProtoSource common stock and satisfaction of the existing P2i debt to
 the Company (the "Agreement").

 On January 1, 2004, the Company, P2i Newspaper and P2i amended the
 terms of the Agreement (the "Amendment"). Pursuant to the terms of the
 Amendment, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of
 P2i Newspaper, the Company issued 193,836 shares of series B preferred
 stock (the "Preferred Stock").

 Upon authorization of sufficient shares of common stock, holders of the
 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Stock") are entitled to
 convert each share of Series B Stock into 100 shares of common stock.
 Series B stockholders are not entitled to receive dividends. In a
 liquidation, the holders would be treated as if they were owners of the
 number of shares of common stock into which the Series B Stock is
 convertible.

 The acquisition of P2i Newspaper became effective on January 1, 2004,
 at which time P2i Newspaper became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
 Company. The cost was as follows:

 Market value of preferred stock to be issued $416,179
 Fair market value of net assets of P2i Newspaper 41,112
 --------

 Goodwill $375,067
 ========


 The acquisition of P2i Newspaper was the central component of the
 transaction between the Company and P2i; however, in further accordance
 to the agreement, as a consideration for the satisfaction of P2i's
 existing debt to the Company (i.e., $1,705,062 in notes receivable plus
 accrued interest), the Company acquired an additional interest in P2i's
 new media business, bringing the Company's total ownership in P2i to
 19.8%. However, despite the increased ownership of P2i, the ownership
 in P2i is considered to be of deminimus value and therefore has no
 classification within the Company's financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements in this section and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking in nature and relate to the Company's plans, objectives, estimates and goals. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "projects," "forecasts," "believes," and "estimates," and variations of such words and similar expressions, identify such forward-looking statements. Such statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the private securities litigation reform act of 1995 and speak only as of the date of this report. The statements are based on current expectations, are inherently uncertain, are subject to risks and uncertainties and should be viewed with caution. Actual results and experience may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, without limitation, those set forth under "Description of Business" in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company makes no commitment to update any forward-looking statement or to disclose any facts, events, or circumstances after the date hereof that may affect the accuracy of any forward-looking statement.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2008

Net Revenues - For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, net revenues were $818,159 and $880,545 respectively. In the current year, $481,416 of these revenues are attributed to the operations of P2i Newspaper (acquired January 1, 2004) and $336,743 are attributed to the operations of ProtoSource Acquisition II (established August 15, 2007, d.b.a. "BX-Solutions" with operations commencing September 1, 2007). This represents a combined decrease of $62,386 in revenues compared to the previous year.

{P2i Newspaper's net revenues are attributable to Media and Data Conversion Technologies and BX-Solutions' (ProtoSource Acquisition II) net revenues are attributable to Technical Support and Hosting Services operations.}

BX-Solutions contributed $336,743 of revenues for the first three months of 2009 versus $345,914 for 2008. P2i Newspaper recorded $534,631 during the same period in 2008; its current year revenues of $481,416 represent a decrease over last year of $53,215. This is attributable to multiple factors: the rapid decline in print advertising resulting in fewer ads to be processed for online publishing; the deteriorating newspaper industry and in particular the bankruptcies of Tribune Group and Minneapolis Star Tribune, both of which are customers of P2i. Additionally the state of the economy is driving down both unit pricing and volume.

Operating Costs and Expenses - For the three months ended March 31, 2009, combined total operating costs and expenses totaled $820,703 versus $1,018,902 in 2008, a $198,199 reduction from the previous year. $18,723 of additional costs were directly attributable to the operations of ProtoSource Acquisition II, Inc. (d.b.a. BX-Solutions) which commenced operations September 1, 2007. However, there was a $216,922 reduction of total operating costs and expenses over the prior year for P2i Newspaper.

Total operating costs and expenses in the amount of $473,696 were related to the operations of P2i Newspaper: For P2i Newspaper, this is a reduction of approximately $217,000 over the preceding year and breaks down as follows:
Approximately $87,000 in less domestic production expenditures, approximately $47,000 less in selling expenses, and approximately $83,000 less in general and administrative costs. In respect to production expenditures, much of the decrease in cost is attributable to a rebounding U.S. dollar against the Malaysian Ringgit. The decrease in selling and general & administrative costs is the result of a restructuring of the US management team in the latter part of 2008. This included the elimination of the Group Financial Manager's position, those responsibilities being assumed in part by the CEO and in part by a consultant. This has yielded savings in excess of $100,000 and resulted in greater efficiencies. Additionally the US-based position of Chief Technology Officer was eliminated and those duties are now shared between the SVP of Product Development and the Lead Developer at P2i in Malaysia.

PROTOSOURCE CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED

Total operating costs and expenses in the amount of $347,007 are related to the operations of ProtoSource Acquisition II, Inc. (d.b.a. BX-Solutions): These costs break down as follows: Approximately $301,000 in production expenditures, approximately $45,000 in general and administrative costs, and an approximate $1,000 write down of receivables.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, combined cost of revenues -- as a percentage of combined revenues -- were 76.6% versus 79.5% for the same period in 2008.

P2i Newspaper's cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues were 67.8% and 77.6% in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

BX-Solutions cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended March 31 were 89.4% for 2009 and 82.4% for 2008. This increase in cost of revenues is largely attributable to a shift in the mix of products and services sold: revenues from dial-up Internet services declined and was replaced by the more labor-intensive Technical Support revenues. BX-Solutions will not see a decline in the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues until revenues increase and the Company can enjoy economies of scale within BX-Solutions.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, combined selling, general and administrative expenses posted a decrease of approximately $122,000 over the previous year due to the following significant components: In respect to BX-Solutions, a $10,000 increase is attributable to general and administrative costs (for the facility in Fresno, CA). In respect to P2i Newspaper, approximately $47,000 less in selling expenses is entirely attributable to decrease in expense. And for P2i Newspaper, approximately $85,000 less in general and administrative expenses, largely attributable to reductions in the Company's liability insurance, salaries and local taxes was realized this year over last for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Administrative costs principally consist of the Company's management office and personnel, professional fees associated with maintenance of the Company, and officers' and directors' liability insurance costs.

Interest expense - Interest expense totaled $116,055 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 versus $103,940 in the same period in 2008. The interest expense is predominantly due to the convertible notes obtained during 2002, 2003, and 2004 to fund the operations of the Company and P2i Newspaper -- pending and post merger -- with approximately $4,000 and $5,000 attributable to equipment lease financing in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We assess liquidity by our ability to generate cash to fund our operations. Significant factors that affect the management of our liquidity include: current balances of cash, expected cash flows provided by operations, current levels of our accounts receivable and accounts payable balances, access to financing sources and our expected investment in equipment.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company generated from the Company's working capital resources, approximately $6,500 less cash than was used.

Even though the Company's net loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 was approximately $128,700, cash flows provided by operations approximated $11,000. In part, this was due to non-cash charges of approximately $14,900 of depreciation and accrued interest of approximately $109,000, arising from the Company's convertible debt obligations. Additionally, cash flows from operations were enhanced approximately $15,000 by net positive changes in the Company's working capital components. Significant components enhancing working capital and available cash - because they were accrued but unpaid during the period -- were as follows: Approximately $26,000 of accrued supplier and service provider obligations together with office and facilities maintenance expenses, approximately $44,000 of accrued payroll expenses, offset by an approximately $29,000 increase in outstanding accounts receivable levels over that at the beginning of the year and an approximately $26,000 decrease in amounts due to a related party.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company had net negative cash flows from investing activities of approximately $25,000. This was primarily due to an approximately $26,000 increase in advances to officer.

And during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company had net positive cash flows from financing activities of approximately $8,000. The Company used approximately $10,000 for payments on its capital lease obligations offset by a bank overdraft.

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had a $5,678 balance in cash and $530,476 in accounts receivable and other current assets. Taken together with $5,536,643 of total current liabilities, this resulted in a negative working capital position of $5,000,489 at March 31, 2009 of which $4,452,846 of this amount pertains to the Company's obligations to its convertible debt holders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - Continued

In July 2007, the Company entered into an investment banking agreement with Colebrooke Capital, Inc. The fees under this arrangement were $7,500 down and $3,500 for the first 90 days of the agreement. Under this arrangement the Company will be required to a pay a 7% financing fee on any funds raised by Colebrooke Capital. Furthermore, in respect to capital transactions introduced by Colebrooke Capital, there will be a 5% transaction fee requirement, but no fees on any Company generated deals. On December 10, 2007 the board ratified a Company proposal to compensate Colebrook Capital in full with 250,000 common shares. This is in respect of an investment banking relationship entered into by the Company in 2007. The goal was to raise funds to make an acquisition but the deterioration of the equities markets has made this untenable and the relationship has been terminated. The Company anticipates issuing these shares in Q2 of 2009.

On August 15, 2007, the Company entered into a 24-month term capital lease agreement with Bankers Capital for the purchase of computer and computer related items valued at $20,123 with monthly lease payments of $1,163. The lease term expires July 14, 2009 and the residual maturity date is July 15, 2009 with a $1 purchase option. $2,720 was paid to Bankers Capital at the start of the lease to cover the first payment, one payment held for a security deposit, and for UCC filing and documentation fees. Company officers, Peter A. Wardle and Thomas C. Butera, are personal guarantors of this agreement.

On October 15, 2007, the Company entered into a 24-month term capital lease agreement with Bankers Capital for the purchase of computer and computer related items valued at $24,380 with monthly lease payments of $1,408. The lease term expires September 14, 2009 and the residual maturity date is September 15, 2009 with a $1 purchase option. $3,212 was paid to Bankers Capital at the start of the lease to cover the first payment, one payment held for a security deposit, and for UCC filing and documentation fees. Company officers, Peter A. Wardle and Thomas C. Butera, are personal guarantors of this agreement.

At a meeting held on December 11, 2007, the Company's shareholders approved an increase in authorized shares of common stock to 500,000,000. At March 31, 2009, 9,927,329 of common shares were issued and outstanding and the Company had obligations to issue an additional 22,947,219 shares of common with a further 33,945,000 shares committed for issuance.

On May 15, 2008, the Company entered into two 24-month term capital lease agreements with Bankers Capital for the purchase of computer and computer related items valued at $25,579 and $37,571, respectively, with monthly lease payments of $1,478 and $2,048, respectively. The lease terms expire April 07, 2010 and the residual maturity date is April 15, 2010 with a $1 purchase option for each agreement. Amounts of $3,450 and $4,590 were paid to Bankers Capital at the start of the respective leases to cover the first payment, one payment held for a security deposit, and for UCC filing and documentation fees. Company officers, Peter A. Wardle and Thomas C. Butera, are personal guarantors of both of these agreements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management's discussion and analysis of its financial position and results of operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The significant accounting policies which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

In accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", the Company maintains a valuation allowance of $5,600,000 as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 on deferred tax assets relating to its net operating losses which the Company has not determined to be more likely than not realizable.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", goodwill is not amortized, rather, management tests goodwill annually for impairment in the fourth quarter. In August 2007 in connection with a foreclosure acquisition agreement with Brand X Networks, Inc., the Company recognized $566,186 of goodwill related to the transaction but deemed it fully impaired, as this matter involved P2i, Inc., a related party.

The Company considers certain trade accounts receivable to be of doubtful collection; accordingly, the Company has an $80,000 allowance for doubtful accounts.

In consideration of SEC Proposed Rule Release 33-8098, the Company does not maintain estimates for sales returns or credits, cancellations and warranties. Due to the peculiar nature of the type of services provided and the underlying processes employed by the Company to create and deliver completed product (without defect) to its customers, there is no material exposure to what would be classified as sales returns or credits. Likewise, cancellations and or warranties are not significantly measurable in respect to the type of electronic product (Internet Website content) deliverable to the Company's customers; and historically, there has been no basis or need for such.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

N/A

Item 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

As of March 31, 2009, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the chief executive officer, or CEO, who is also the acting chief financial officer, or CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure procedures. Based on management's evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our principal executive officer and chief financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") were sufficiently effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is gathered, analyzed and disclosed with adequate timeliness, accuracy and completeness.

Changes in internal controls.

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation referred to above, nor were there any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls. Accordingly, no corrective actions were required or undertaken except as disclosed.
