NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Celsius Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 26, 2005.. On January 26, 2007, the Company acquired Elite FX, Inc., a Florida corporation by merger with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Since the merger the Company has been engaged in the business of Elite FX, Inc., the development, marketing, sale and distribution of “functional” calorie-burning beverages under the Celsius® brand name.

2.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the statement of the results for the interim periods presented. A complete summary of significant accounting policies, some of which are discussed below, can be found in our form 10-K dated December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2010.

Earnings per Share — Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of preferred shares, exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the reverse treasury stock method). As of March 31, 2010 there were options and options outstanding to purchase 2.8 million shares, which exercise price averaged $4.56. The dilutive common shares equivalents, including convertible notes, preferred stock and warrants, of 407,361 shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Dilutive common shares equivalent table	Shares	USD	Dilutive shares
Convertible debt:		$36,000	15,013
Warrants (in the money)	350,000		120,781
Stock options (in the money)	584,568		271,567
Total dilutive common shares			407,361

If all dilutive instruments were exercised using the reverse treasury stock method, then the total number of shares outstanding would be 18.8 million shares.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

All new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective have been deemed to not be applicable; hence the adoption of these new standards is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

5.	CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE, RELATED PARTIES

The Company entered into a loan agreement for up to $6.5 million in September 2009 and issued a convertible note to one of its shareholders. The note originally carried interest of one month LIBOR plus 3%, payable the first time on the anniversary of the agreement, thereafter quarterly. The loan matures on September 9, 2012. The outstanding balance can be immediately converted into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price. The conversion price was originally based on a price of $8.00 per share, or a market price calculation at the date of conversion. In order to comply with the listing requirements for the Nasdaq Stock Market, in January 2010, the parties emended the convertible loan agreement to set the conversion price to $10.20, which was the consolidated closing bid price of the common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the business day prior to the date the loan agreement was entered into. At the same time the interest rate was increased to one month LIBOR plus 7%. The Company recorded a debt discount totaling $362,500 with a credit to additional paid in capital for the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the conversion option at the time of each draw on the loan. The Company recorded $32,919 and $7,225 as interest expense amortizing the debt discount during 2009 and 2010, respectively, and the remaining balance, $322,356, was recorded as loss on extinguishment of debt when the loan was materially modified in January 2010. The Company considered requirements by the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the ASC and other guidance and concluded that the conversion option should not be bifurcated from the host contract and the conversion option is recorded as equity and not a liability. In March 2010, the shareholder converted $4.5 million of the note to 441,176 shares of the Company’s common stock, (a conversion price of $10.20 per share). The net outstanding balance as of March 31, 2010 was $2,000,000.

CELSIUS HOLDINGS, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The Company entered into a refinance agreement for $615,000 in September, 2009 and issued a convertible note to one of its shareholders. The Company restructured an already existing note issued to the shareholder. The outstanding balance can be immediately converted into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price from September 8, 2009 through and including March 31, 2011, equal to the lesser of (i) $8.00 per share, or (ii) the average of the ten daily VWAPs for the 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the date on which a conversion notice is received (defined in the note as the “Market Price”); or (B) after December 31, 2011 the greater of (i) $8.00 per share, or (ii) the Market Price; provided that, the conversion price shall never be less than $2.00 (two dollars) regardless of the Market Price on the conversion date. The Company recorded a debt discount totaling $184,500 with a credit to additional paid in capital for the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the conversion option at the time of issuance. The shareholder converted the entire debt in March 2010 to 176,659 shares of the Company’s common stock (a conversion price of $3.48 per share). The Company recorded $10,592 and $19,133 as interest expense amortizing the debt discount during 2010 and 2009, respectively, and the remaining balance of $154,775 was recorded upon conversion as interest expense. The Company considered requirements by the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the ASC and other guidance and concluded that the conversion option should not be bifurcated from the host contract and the conversion option is recorded as equity and not a liability.

6.	PREFERRED STOCK

On August 8, 2009, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (“SPA1”) with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC (“CDS”), an affiliate of CD Financial, LLC (“CD”). Pursuant to SPA1, the Company issued 100 Series A preferred shares (“Preferred A Shares”), as well as a warrant to purchase an additional 50 Preferred A Shares, for a cash payment of $1.5 million and the cancellation of two notes in aggregate amount of $500,000 issued to CD. The Preferred A Shares can be converted into Company common stock at any time. SPA1 was amended on December 12, 2008 to provide that until December 31, 2010 the conversion price is $1.60, after which the conversion price is the greater of $1.60 or 90% of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the prior 10 trading days. Pursuant to SPA1, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Company filed a registration statement for the common stock issuable upon conversion of the initially purchased Preferred A Shares. The registration statement filed in connection with the Preferred A Shares was declared effective on May 14, 2009. The Preferred A Shares accrue a ten percent annual cumulative dividend, payable in additional Preferred A Shares. In March and December of 2009, the Company issued 15.05 Preferred A Shares in dividends for the years 2008 and 2009.

On November 16, 2009, CDS exercised its right to purchase additional 50 Preferred A Shares in exchange for a note owed to them. In March 2010, CDS converted all its Preferred A Shares, including accrued dividends for 2010, to 2,103,446 shares of common stock (a conversion price of $1.60 per share).

7.	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The CEO has guaranteed the lease agreement for the Company’s offices. The CEO has not received any compensation for the guarantees.

The Company rented in October, 2009, an office from a company affiliated with CD Financial LLC, for $4,260 monthly until March 2010, and thereafter on a month-to-month basis. The rental fee was commensurate with other properties available in the market.

Also, see Note 4 — Due to related parties.

8.	STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On February 16, 2010, the Company sold 900,000 units resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $14.5 million. Each unit consisted of four shares of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $5.32 per share at any time through February 8, 2013. The net proceeds of the offering after deducting underwriting discount and offering expenses were approximately $13.1 million.

Also, see Note 4 — Convertible Note Payable, other, Note 6 — Convertible Note Payable, related party and Note 7 — Preferred Stock.

CELSIUS HOLDINGS, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

9.	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company adopted an Incentive Stock Plan on January 18, 2007. This plan is intended to provide incentives which will attract and retain highly competent persons at all levels as employees of the Company, as well as independent contractors providing consulting or advisory services to the Company, by providing them opportunities to acquire the Company's common stock or to receive monetary payments based on the value of such shares pursuant to Awards issued. While the plan terminates 10 years after the adoption date, issued options have their own schedule of termination. Until 2017, options to acquire up to 2.5 million shares of common stock may be granted at no less than fair market value on the date of grant. Upon exercise, shares of new common stock are issued by the Company.

The Company has issued approximately 1.6 million options to purchase shares at an average price of $3.97 with a fair value of $3.6 million. For the three month period ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized $264,511 and $34,861, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense (included in General and Administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations). As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, the Company had approximately $2.5 million and $185,000, respectively, of unrecognized pre-tax non-cash compensation expense which the Company expects to recognize, based on a weighted-average period of 1.4 years. The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the two to three year requisite service or vesting period of the grant. There are options to purchase approximately 614,000 shares that have vested, and 172,000 shares were exercised as of March 31, 2010. The following is a summary of the assumptions used:

Risk-free interest rate		1.3% - 4.9%
Expected dividend yield		—
Expected term		3 – 5 years
Expected annual volatility		73% - 90%

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock option awards and warrant issuances. The calculation of the fair value of the awards using the Black - Scholes option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of grant as well as assumptions regarding the following:

Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award. The Company’s estimated volatility is an average of the historical volatility of peer entities whose stock prices were publicly available. The Company’s calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices of these peer entities over a period equal to the expected life of the awards, which ranges from 3 to 4 years. The Company uses the historical volatility of peer entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data of its stock price in the market in which its shares trade which can be expected to repeat itself in the future. This is due to among other things that in the past the Company’s stock has traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and will now trade on the NASDAQ National Market;

·	The expected term represents the period of time that awards granted are expected to be outstanding .With the passage of time, actual behavioral patterns surrounding the expected term will replace the current methodology;

·	The expected dividend yield is 0, based on the Company’s policy not to issue cash dividends; and

·	The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the stock option award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the stock option award.

During 2009, the Company issued a total of 14,801 shares as compensation to a consultant and a distributor at a fair value of $36,125 and no shares have been issued in 2010.

WARRANTS

The warrants expire on February 8, 2013.

11.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has entered into distribution agreements with liquidated damages in case the Company cancels the distribution agreements without cause. Cause has been defined in various ways

There is one agreement that also has liquidated damages, but instead of a monetary damage, the potential liability is to have to issue shares to the distributor at a purchase price of $1.20. The quantity of shares depends on this distributor’s purchases from the Company as compared to the Company’s total revenue. . It is the management’s belief that no such agreement has created any liability as of March 31, 2010.

12.	BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATION

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue derives from the sale of the Celsius beverage.

The Company uses single supplier relationships for its raw materials purchases and filling capacity, which potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of business risk. If these suppliers had operational problems or ceased making product available to the Company, operations could be adversely affected. No vendor accounted for more than 10% of total payments.

Business Overview — General

We are engaged in the development, marketing, sale and distribution of “functional” calorie-burning beverages under the Celsius® brand name. According to multiple clinical studies we funded, a single serving (12 ounce can) of Celsius® burns up to 100 calories by increasing a consumer’s metabolism an average of 12% and providing sustained energy for up to a three-hour period.

We seek to combine nutritional science with mainstream beverages by using our proprietary thermogenic (calorie-burning) MetaPlus® formulation, while fostering the goal of healthier everyday refreshment by being as natural as possible without the artificial preservatives often found in many energy drinks and sodas. Celsius® has no artificial preservatives, aspartame or high fructose corn syrup and is very low in sodium. Celsius® uses good-for-you ingredients and supplements such as green tea (EGCG), ginger, calcium, chromium, B vitamins and vitamin C. Celsius is sweetened with sucralose, a sugar-derived sweetener that is found in Splenda®, which makes our beverages low-calorie and suitable for consumers whose sugar intake is restricted.

We have undertaken significant marketing efforts aimed at building brand awareness, including a recently launched nationwide marketing campaign focused on television, radio, on-line and magazine advertising. We intend to launch an on-line campaign with viral marketing, as soon as our testing phase is completed. We also undertake various promotions at the retail level such as coupons and other discounts. We have recently engaged Mario Lopez, a well-known television personality, to be our national celebrity spokesperson.

Until the first quarter of 2009, we mainly sold and distributed our products through a network of independent regional distributors and wholesalers. In order to achieve more national market penetration, in April 2009, we began to implement a direct-to-retail marketing strategy by retooling our sales force, working with national food and beverage brokers and supporting these efforts through an integrated national marketing campaign, which we launched in September 2009.

As a result, Celsius ® products are now available in most retail trade channels including grocery, convenience, drug and nutrition stores, as well as mass merchants and club retainers. Our beverages are also available in military PXs, health clubs and online at many health and nutrition oriented c-commerce sites. Our shift in marketing emphasis has led to broader geographic distribution and increased brand awareness and is expected to continue to be our marketing focus.

We do not directly manufacture our beverages, but instead outsource the manufacturing process to established third-party co-packers. We do, however, provide our co-packers with flavors, ingredient blends, cans and other raw materials for our beverages purchased by us from various suppliers.

Corporate History and Information

We were incorporated in Nevada on April 26, 2005 under the name “Vector Ventures, Inc.” In December 2006 we changed our name to Celsius Holdings, Inc. On January 26, 2007, we acquired the Celsius® beverage business of Elite FX, Inc., a Florida corporation engaged in the development of functional beverages since 2004 in a reverse merger.

Our principal executive offices are located at 140 N.E. 4th Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida 33483. Our telephone number is (561) 276-2239 and our website is www.celsius.com. The information accessible through our website does not constitute part of this report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical Accounting Policies

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the statement of the results for the interim periods presented. A complete summary of significant accounting policies, some of which are discussed below, can be found in our annual report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2010.

Information regarding newly issued accounting pronouncements is contained in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this form 10-Q.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009

Revenue

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $2.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The increase of 140.6 % was mainly due to sales to new or recently added retail customers. We experienced a large reduction to net revenue due to discounts and promotions of $814,000 in 2010 as compared to $134,000 during the same period last year. This increase in discounts and promotions, consisting of coupons, temporary price reductions, co-op advertising and slotting fees, are part of our strategic marketing plan. Our case volume for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was approximately three times the volume for the same period last year.

Gross profit

Gross Profit was 35.8 % in the first quarter of 2010 as compared to 43.9 % for the same period in 2009. The reduction is due to the increased promotional activity as described above. We have reduced our cost per case of Celsius, due to higher production volumes. However, we also saw an increase in freight cost due to smaller shipments to our retailers’ distribution centers.

Operating Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses have increased substantially to $4.8 million for the first quarter of 2010 as compared to $1.2 million for the same three-month period in 2009, or an increase of $3.6 million. This was mainly due to increases in direct advertising expenses of $2.4 million, product samplings of $723,000 and employee related expenses of $169,000. We have substantially increased our efforts in radio and television advertising and in product samplings. We continue to participate in many trade shows, sports and exercise events across the country. General and administrative expenses increased from $355,000 for the three-month period in 2009 to $1.4 million for the same period in 2010, an increase of $1.0 million. This was mainly due to increased employee related expenses of $497,000, increased expense for granting options of $204,000 and increased expense for bad debts of $103,000.

Other expense

Total other expense increased from $29,000 for the three-month period in 2009 to $579,000, during the first quarter in 2010, or an increase of $550,000. This increase is mainly due to the loss on extinguishment of debt of $322,000, increase of debt discount amortization of $161,000 and increase of interest on loans of $66,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. As a result, at March 31, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $25.0 million. At March 31, 2010, we had working capital of $11.4 million. We have had operating cash flow deficits during all quarters of operations. Our revenue has not been sufficient to sustain our operations. Our profitability will require the successful commercialization of our current product Celsius® and any future products we develop. As of March 31, 2010, we had $10.2 million of cash on hand and we believe that our available cash, when combined with revenues from operations will be sufficient to sustain our operations throughout the balance of 2010. No assurances can be given that our cash position will be sufficient for our future operations or that we will not have to find additional sources of capital.

We borrowed in 2004 and 2005 a total of $500,000 from Lucille Santini. In July 2008, we restructured the agreement and decreased the interest rate to prime rate flat, monthly payments of $5,000 until a balloon payment of approximately $606,000 in January 2010. This debt was restructured in September, 2009, to a convertible note of $615,000 with maturity in September 2012. Interest is set at 3% over the one-month LIBOR rate. On March 3, 2010, Ms. Santini gave notice to convert the entire note balance into shares of common stock.

We borrowed $50,000 from the CEO of the Company in February 2006. We also owed the CEO $171,000 for accrued salaries from 2006 and 2007. The two debts were restructured in to one note accruing 3% interest, monthly payments of $5,000 and with a balloon payment of $64,000 in January 2011. The outstanding balance under the note as of March 31, 2010 was $110,000.

In August of 2008, we entered into a security purchase agreement with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC, an affiliate of CD Financial, LLC pursuant to which we received $1.5 million in cash, cancelled two convertible notes issued to CD Financial, LLC for $500,000. In exchange, we issued to CDS, 100 shares of Series A preferred stock, and a warrant to purchase additional 50 shares of Series A preferred stock, which they exercised in November 2009. In March 2010, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC converted the Series A preferred stock into common stock.

In December of 2008, we entered into a second security purchase agreement with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC, pursuant to which we received $2.0 million in cash and issued 100 shares of Series B preferred stock, and a warrant to purchase additional 100 shares of Series B preferred stock. In March, 2009, CDS Ventures of South Florida exercised its warrant and purchased an additional 100 shares of Series B preferred stock. During April and May, 2009, we received the corresponding $2 million in cash. CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC converted the shares of Series B preferred stock into common stock in December 2009.

In September 2009, we entered into a $6.5 million loan agreement with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC. The loan is due in September 2012. Interest was set at 300 basis points over the one-month LIBOR rate. The first interest payment is due in September 2010 and quarterly thereafter. The note can be converted to shares of our common stock. In January 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC to amend the note. This was done in order for the Company to comply with Nasdaq Stock Market’s listing requirements. The interest rate on the note was increased from 300 to 700 basis points over one (1) month LIBOR. The conversion price was modified from either $8.00 or a market price calculation to a fixed rate of $10.20 per share. On March 10, 2010, CDS converted $4.5 million of the convertible note into common stock.

Our Securities Purchase Agreement with Golden Gate Investors, Inc.

On December 19, 2007, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Golden Gate Investors, Inc (GGI). The purchase agreement included four tranches of $1,500,000 each. The first tranche consisted of our 7.75% convertible debenture issued in exchange for $250,000 in cash and a promissory note for $1,250,000 issued by GGI which was to mature on February 1, 2012. The promissory note contained a prepayment provision which required GGI to make prepayments of interest and principal of $250,000 monthly upon satisfaction of certain conditions. One of the conditions to prepayment was that GGI may immediately sell all of the common stock issued upon Conversion (as defined in the debenture) pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. We were under no contractual obligation to ensure that GGI may immediately sell all of the common stock Issued at Conversion (as defined in the debenture) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1934. In the event that GGI may not immediately sell all of the common stock Issued at Conversion pursuant to Rule 144, GGI would be under no obligation to prepay the promissory note and likewise under no obligation to exercise its conversion rights under the debenture. If GGI did not fully convert the debenture by its maturity on December 19, 2011, the balance of the debenture was to be offset by any balance due to us under the promissory note. As of December 31, 2009, the balances of the promissory note and debenture were zero and $36,000, respectively. The balance of the debenture can be converted at any time with a conversion price as the lower of (i) $20.00, or (ii) 80% of the average of the three lowest daily volume weighted average price during the 20 trading days prior to GGI’s election to convert. We were not required to issue the shares unless a corresponding payment had been made on the promissory note. GGI converted $1.1 million of its convertible debenture through December 2009 receiving 952,696 shares of common stock.

On September 8, 2009, the Company entered into an addendum to the agreement with GGI. The balance of the note receivable, $250,000 was netted against the balance of the debenture. All future tranches were cancelled and terminated without penalty to either party. The outstanding balance of the debenture as of March 31, 2010 was $36,000.

Our Securities Purchase Agreements with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC

On August 8, 2008, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC. Pursuant to the agreement, we issued 100 shares of Series A preferred stock, as well as a warrant to purchase an additional 50 shares of Series A preferred stock, for a cash payment of $1.5 million and the cancellation of two notes in aggregate amount of $500,000 issued to CD Financial, LLC. The shares of Series A preferred stock can be converted into our common stock at any time. The securities purchase agreement was amended on December 12, 2008 to provide that until December 31, 2010, the conversion price is $1.60, after which the conversion price is the greater of $1.60 or 90% of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the prior 10 trading days. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement, under which we registered the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A preferred stock for resale under the Securities Act of 1933. The Series A preferred stock accrues ten percent annual cumulative dividends, payable in additional shares of Series A preferred stock. We issued 15.1shares of Series A preferred stock in dividends during 2009, in dividends for the years 2008 and 2009. In November 2009, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC exercised its right to purchase an additional 50 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for cancellation of a $1.0 million note issued to CD Financial, LLC. In March 2010, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC gave notice of their election to convert all of their Series A Preferred Stock, including accrued dividends, to 2,103,446 shares of common stock (a conversion price of $1.60 per share.)

On December 12, 2008, we entered into a second securities purchase agreement with CDS. Pursuant to this securities purchase agreement, we issued 100 shares of Series B preferred stock, as well as a warrant to purchase an additional 100 shares of Series B preferred stock, for a cash payment of $2.0 million. The shares of Series B preferred stock were convertible into our common stock at any time. Until December 31, 2010, the conversion price was $1.00, after which the conversion price was the greater of $1.00 or 90% of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the prior 10 trading days. We also granted CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B preferred stock. The Series Preferred B stock accrued a ten percent annual cumulative dividend, payable in additional shares of Series B preferred stock. We issued 11 shares of Series B preferred stock in dividends during the first quarter of 2009. On March 31, 2009, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC exercised its right to purchase an additional 100 shares of Series B preferred stock and executed a subscription agreement for $2.0 million. The monies for the subscription were paid on April 7 and May 1, 2009.

On December 23, 2009, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC gave notice of their election to convert all of the Series B preferred stock (including shares issuable in payment of accrued dividends) into 4,343,000 shares of common stock. We recorded a liability to CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC for a $100,000 fee for their agreement to convert the Series B preferred stock into common stock on an accelerated basis. This fee was paid in March 2010.

Pursuant to the securities purchase agreements relating to our Series A preferred stock, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC was given the right to designate two members to our board of directors, which were designated in August 2008.

Our Convertible Loan Agreement with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC

On September 8, 2009, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC. Under the loan agreement, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC will lend us up to $6,500,000. The loan is due on September 8, 2012 and carries a variable interest rate equal to 300 basis points over the one (1) month LIBOR. In January 2010, we agreed to increase the interest rate to 700 basis points over the one (1) month LIBOR. Commencing on September 8, 2010 and continuing each three month period hereafter, we will make payments of all accrued but unpaid interest only on the unpaid principal amount. The loan can at any time be converted to shares of our common stock at the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” was originally based on a price at $8.00 per share of a market price calculation at the date of conversion. In order to comply with the listing requirements for the Nasdaq Stock Market, in January 2010 the parties amended the convertible loan agreement to set the Conversion Price at $10.20 per share, which was the consolidated closing bid price of the common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the business day prior to the date the agreement was entered into.

In March 2010, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC gave notice of their election to convert $4.5 million of the convertible into 441,176 shares of common stock.

We received advances from Ms. Santini at various times during 2004 and 2005, totaling $76,000 and $424,000, respectively. The advances carried interest at a rate variable with the prime rate. In September 2009, the debt was refinanced, with no amortization and the note is due on September 8, 2012. This note carries a variable interest rate equal to 300 basis points over the one (1) month LIBOR. Commencing on September 8, 2010 and continuing each three month period hereafter, we will make payments of all accrued but unpaid interest only. The loan can at any time be converted to shares of our common stock at the Conversion Price.

ITEM 4T.

CONTROLS AND PROCEEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively the “Certifying Officers”) maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed, is accumulated and communicated to management timely. The Certifying Officers have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the “reasonable assurance” level. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Certifying Officers evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Furthermore, the Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures in place are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis in accordance with applicable Commission rules and regulations; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Certifying Officers and other persons that perform similar functions, if any, to allow us to make timely decisions regarding required disclosure in our periodic filings.

Changes in internal controls

We have made no changes to our internal controls during the first quarter of 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. Our management does not expect that our disclosure or internal controls will prevent all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
