NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

Accelerize New Media, Inc., or the Company, a Delaware corporation, incorporated on November 22, 2005, is a multi-faceted Internet company providing lead generation and performance-based solutions for its customers.

The Company offers online media solutions for U.S. based businesses to reach their target audience on the Internet. The Company provides lead generation and performance-based customer acquisition solutions via Internet marketing communications offerings, such as portals, blogs, email, organic search traffic, and search engine optimization. The Company’s primary revenue sources are as follows: (1) Online advertising – the Company’s financial content network is available over the Internet, and the Company’s revenues are generated through the sale of display advertisings, list management, targeted lead generation, and web consulting services, and (2) Lead generation/Performance based marketing - utilizing the Company’s internally designed and developed lead generation platform, the Company delivers information to sellers by providing vendors with opportunities to contact qualified and interested potential customers, and new-business leads for such vendors, and in return the Company receives fees. The Company’s current lead generation focus surrounds, but is not limited to, the industry of debt settlement, credit repair/reports, and tax settlements.

The Company ceased operating its Debt Settlement Referral Division effective January 1, 2009. During 2009 it will continue to receive commissions for debt settlement solutions provided to past clients, but will not be adding additional clients.

The balance sheet presented as of December 31, 2008 has been derived from our audited financial statements. The unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, but we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2009. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2009.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has used net cash in its operating activities of approximately $298,000 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due, to fund possible future acquisitions, and to generate profitable operations in the future. Management plans to continue to provide for the Company’s capital requirements by issuing additional equity securities and debt. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its business plan or generate positive operating results.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results will differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risks

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily from cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents accounts are held at financial institutions and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, up to $250,000. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company has reached bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company periodically evaluates the credit quality of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits.

The Company's accounts receivable are due from a few customers, all located in the United States. Three of the Company’s customers accounted for 11%, 11% and 10% of its accounts receivables at March 31, 2009. Three of the customers accounted for 24%, 15%, and 11% of its accounts receivables at December 31, 2008. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $12,486 and $6,857 at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of three years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Property and equipment consist of the following:

	March 31, 2009			December 31, 2008
Computer equipment and software	$	17,786		$	11,358
Phone equipment		19,155			19,155
Office furniture and equipment		11,450			11,450
		48,391			41,963
Accumulated depreciation		(28,297	)		(24,436	)
	$	20,094		$	17,527

Depreciation expense amounted to approximately $3,861 and $3,683 during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 “Revenue Recognition.” Revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

The Company’s online advertising revenues are generated from list management fees, cost-per-action listings, and banner ad sales of its portfolio of Web sites. When an online user navigates to one of the Company’s owned and operated Web sites and clicks or completes the specified action, the Company receives a fee.

The Company’s lead generation network revenues are primarily generated using third-party distribution networks to deliver the merchant advertisers’ listings. The distribution network includes search engines, email marketers, shopping engines, directories, destination sites, Internet domains or Web sites, and other targeted Web-based content. The Company generates revenue upon delivery of a qualified lead to the Company’s merchant advertisers or partner.

Since January 1, 2007, the Company generates a substantial portion of its revenues from its Debt Settlement Referral Division. The Company’s fees are earned from the sale and marketing of debt reduction solutions offered to consumers by debt settlement agencies. The consumers generally enter into a debt solution program with a debt settlement agency which provides for monthly payments by the consumers over a period of up to 3 years. The commission earned by the Company will vary between 7.5% and 8.9% of the total debt of the consumer to be negotiated by the respective debt settlement agency. The Company receives its fee from debt settlement agencies upon payment by consumers to the debt settlement agencies within the first 18 months of the debt solution program, assuming that all consumers make all their payments. Accordingly, the fee earned by the Company is recognized over the terms of the underlying contract between the debt settlement agencies and the consumer, which is generally 3 years. Consequently, the Company defers the fees received from the debt settlement agency in excess of the revenues recognized over the term of the underlying contract between the debt settlement agencies and the consumer. Such excess amounted to approximately $669,000 and $667,000 at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and is recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.

Since September 2007, the payment to the Company is subject to a partial refund only if a debt settlement agency issues a refund to the consumer over the term of the respective contract.

Customer Concentration

One of the Company's customers accounted for approximately 17% of its revenues during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. Three of the Company’s customers accounted for 39%, 22%, and 12% of the Company’s revenue during the three-month period ended March 31, 2008.

Product Concentration

The Company generates revenues from the following sources: (1) Online advertising – the Company’s financial content network is available over the Internet, and the Company’s revenues are generated through the sale of display advertisings, list management, targeted lead generation, and web consulting services, and (2) Lead generation/Performance based marketing - utilizing the Company’s internally designed and developed lead generation platform, the Company delivers information to sellers by providing vendors with opportunities to contact qualified and interested potential customers, and new-business leads for such vendors, and in return the Company receives fees.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense amounted to $37,245 and $291,748 during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Website Development Costs

The Company has capitalized certain internal use software and website development costs amounting to approximately $350 and $42,000 as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The estimated useful life of costs capitalized is evaluated for each specific project and ranges from one to three years.

Goodwill

The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives should be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. SFAS No. 142, requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment for each reporting unit.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized, but no less than quarterly.

Share-Based Payment

Under SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment," or SFAS No. 123(R) companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” or SAB 107. SAB 107 expresses views of the staff regarding the interaction between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides the staff's views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. Effective with its fiscal 2006, the Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (R) and related interpretations as provided by SAB 107 prospectively. As such compensation cost is measured on the date of grant as its fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods or period of service of the option grant.

Segment Reporting

Basic and Diluted 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 the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified-treasury stock method). The outstanding options, warrants, and shares issuable due to convertible debt amounted to 15,065,375 and 19,979,885 at March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively, and have been excluded from the earnings per share computation due to their anti-dilutive effect.

The following sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:

	For the three-month periods ended

Diluted earnings per share	$	(0.04	)	$	(0.04	)

NOTE 3: PREPAID EXPENSES

At March 31, 2009, the prepaid expenses consisted primarily of insurance and rent expenses.

NOTE 4: DOMAIN NAME RIGHTS

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company renewed the certain domain name rights for $25,000 for an additional year. The Company recognized amortization expense of $6,165 and $49,863 in connection with the domain name rights during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE 5: WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Website development costs, net of accumulated amortization are as follows:

	March 31,			December 31,
	2009			2008
Website development costs	$	346,850		$	346,485
Less: accumulated amortization		(203,797	)		(206,410	)
Website development costs, net	$	143,053		$	140,075

Amortization expense of the website development costs amounted to $2,613 and $39,658 during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE 6: GOODWILL

At March 31, 2009, the Company wrote-down the value of its goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. SFAS No. 142, requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. The Company wrote-down approximately $348,000 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009.

NOTE 7: CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, the Company issued convertible promissory notes aggregating $430,000 to certain stockholders. The notes bear interest at 10% per annum. Accrued interest may be payable, at the noteholder’s option, in cash or in shares of Common Stock. If the accrued interest is paid in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares issuable to satisfy the accrued interest is calculated by dividing the interest dollar amount due on the respective interest payment date by the closing price of the Common Stock, as quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board on the last trading day before the respective interest payment date, and rounding it to the nearest whole number. The interest is payable commencing June 1, 2008 and every quarter thereafter, until the obligations under the convertible promissory notes are satisfied. The convertible promissory notes are due ranging from March 15, 2011 to March 31, 2011. The Company may prepay the convertible promissory notes without premium. Each noteholder may convert, at his option, the outstanding principal of the convertible promissory note, after July 30, 2008 and prior to maturity at the lesser of: 1) $0.55 or 2) the average closing price of the Company’s common stock, but in no event less than $0.50, or 3) the effective price per share of a subsequent financing of the Company occurring prior to March 2011.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company issued convertible promissory notes aggregating $627,000 to certain stockholders. The notes bear interest at 12% per annum. Accrued interest may be payable, at the noteholder’s option, in cash or in shares of Common Stock. If the accrued interest is paid in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares issuable to satisfy the accrued interest is calculated by dividing the interest dollar amount due on the respective interest payment date by the closing price of the Common Stock, as quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board on the last trading day before the respective interest payment date, and rounding it to the nearest whole number. The interest is payable commencing June 1, 2009 and every quarter thereafter, until the obligations under the convertible promissory notes are satisfied. The convertible promissory notes are due in March, 2012. The Company may prepay the convertible promissory notes as follows: if on or prior to June 30, 2009, at a premium amounting to sum of 0.5% for each full month remaining between the prepayment date and the maturity date; if after June 30, 2009, without premium. Each noteholder may convert, at his option, the outstanding principal of the convertible promissory note, on and after July 1, 2009 and prior to maturity at the lesser of: 1) $0.50 or 2) the effective price per share of a subsequent financing of the Company occurring prior to March 2012.

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue No.00-27, "Application of Issue No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features of Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, to Certain convertible Instruments", the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature related to the convertible promissory notes. Under the terms of these notes, the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was calculated assuming that the conversion date was the same as the issue date. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the beneficial conversion feature amounted to $191,648 and $144,794. This beneficial conversion feature is reflected in the accompanying financial statements as additional paid-in capital and corresponding debt discount.

The interest and amortization expense associated with the notes payable amounted to $22,484 and $2,757 during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The unamortized debt discount amounted to $339,266 at March 31, 2009.

Associated with the notes payable issued during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company paid finder’s fees of $61,700 that were deferred and amortized over the period of the loans. At March 31, 2009, the Company had recognized amortization of $1,901 for the fees.

Stock Option Plan

On December 15, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors and stockholders approved the Accelerize New Media, Inc. Stock Option Plan, or the Plan. The total number of shares of capital stock of the Company that may be subject to options under the Plan was initially 4,300,000 shares of Common Stock, and on May 16, 2007 was increased to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value per share, from either authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. The individuals who are eligible to receive option grants under the Plan are employees, directors and other individuals who render services to the management, operation or development of the Company or its subsidiaries and who have contributed or may be expected to contribute to the success of the Company or a subsidiary. Every option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written stock option agreement in such form as the Board shall approve from time to time, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to the option, the time or times at which the option shall become exercisable in whole or in part, whether the option is intended to be an incentive stock option or a non-incentive stock option, and such other terms and conditions as the Board shall approve.

On February 27, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the extension of the exercise date for nine stock option holders to December 31, 2009. As a result, the Company recognized an expense of $18,488, which increased additional paid-in capital. The fair value is based on the following assumptions, using Black Scholes Model: term: 5 years; exercise price: $0.15 to $0.35; risk-free interest rate: 1.99%; expected volatility: 62.10%; market value: $0.31.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company granted 20,000 options to certain of its employees.

At March 31, 2009, options to purchase 7,161,000 shares of Common Stock were outstanding. The outstanding options are exercisable at a weighted average price per share of $0.16 per share. The options outstanding vest over periods ranging from two to three years.

During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded a share-based payment expense amounting to approximately $21,300 and $34,000, respectively, in connection with all options granted at the respective measurement dates.

The share-based payment is based on the fair value of the outstanding options amortized over the requisite period of service for option holders, which is generally the vesting period of the options. The fair value of the options granted during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 is based on the Black Scholes Model using the following assumptions:


Exercise price:	$ 0.35
Market price at date of grant:	$ 0.35
Expected volatility:	68.0 to 74.6%
Expected dividend rate:	0%
Risk-free interest rate:	1.67 to 1.99%

The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of publicly-traded companies comparable to the Company.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 amounted to $0.21.

The total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized amounted to approximately $58,000 and $248,000 at March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively and the Company expects that it will be recognized over the following weighted-average period of 33 months.

If any options granted under the Plan expire or terminate without having been exercised or cease to be exercisable, such options will be available again under the Plan. All employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to receive non-qualified stock options. Non-employee directors and outside consultants who provided bona-fide services not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital raising transaction are eligible to receive non-qualified stock options. Incentive stock options may not be granted below their fair market value at the time of grant or, if to an individual who beneficially owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all stock classes of the Company or a subsidiary, the option price may not be less than 110% of the fair value of the Common Stock at the time of grant. The expiration date of an incentive stock option may not be longer than ten years from the date of grant. Option holders, or their representatives, may exercise their vested options up to three-six months after their employment termination or one year after their death or permanent and total disability. The Plan provides for adjustments upon changes in capitalization.

The Company’s policy is to issue shares pursuant to the exercise of stock options from its available authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. It does not issue shares pursuant to the exercise of stock options from its treasury shares.

NOTE 9: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Certain statements in this discussion and elsewhere in this report constitute forward-looking statements. See ‘‘Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information’’ elsewhere in this report. Because this discussion involves risk and uncertainties, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

We offer online media solutions for U.S. based businesses to reach their target audience on the Internet by providing lead generation and performance based customer acquisition solutions. We own and operate approximately 6,000 web properties, provide real-time SEC filing and financial data services and operate a proprietary performance-based lead generation platform. We primarily make money from the following two lines of business: (1) Online advertising - Our financial content network is available over the Internet, and our revenues are generated through the sale of display advertisings, list management, targeted lead generation, and web consulting services, and (2) Lead generation/Performance based marketing - Utilizing our internally designed and developed lead generation platform, we deliver buyers to sellers by providing vendors with opportunities to contact qualified and interested potential customers, and essentially crafting high-quality new-business leads for such vendors, and in return we receive fees. Our current lead generation focus surrounds, but is not limited to, the industry of debt settlement, credit repair/reports, and tax settlements.

Recent Developments

During March 2009, we raised an aggregate amount of $627,000 in convertible loans from 18 different lenders. In connection with the loan, we issued to each of the lenders a convertible promissory note and a Common Stock purchase warrant. The notes accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum and mature in March 2012. Interest may be paid, at the lenders’ option, in cash or in shares of Common Stock of the Company. If the accrued interest is paid in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares issuable to satisfy the accrued interest is calculated by dividing the interest dollar amount due on the respective interest payment date by the closing price of the Common Stock, as quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board on the last trading day before the respective interest payment date, and rounding it to the nearest whole number. Principal shall be due and payable on the maturity date, and subject to the following conditions, shall be payable at the option of the lender in cash or shares of Common Stock as follows: (i) if the average closing price of the Common Stock on the last 5 trading days prior to the maturity date is $0.50 or more, then the lender may elect to have the principal paid in shares of Common Stock. In such case, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the lender shall be determined by dividing the principal amount outstanding on the maturity date by $0.50; (ii) if the average closing price of the Common Stock on the last 5 trading days prior to the maturity date is less than $0.50, then the principal may only be paid in cash.

The lenders may convert, at their option, the outstanding principal of the notes into Company Common Stock, on and after July 1 2009 and prior to maturity date, at the lesser of: (i) $0.50 per share; or (ii) the lowest effective purchase price, conversion price or exercise price, as the case may be, of any new transaction pursuant to which shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of Common Stock, are issued by the Company before the maturity date, except for shares of Common Stock issued under the Accelerize New Media Stock Option Plan.

In addition, the Company issued to the lenders Common Stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 313,500 shares. The warrants are exercisable for 5 years and expire on 2014, with an exercise price of $0.55 per share. The Company has the right to call the warrants, at a redemption price of $.001 per warrant share, commencing on the first trading day after the Common Stock of the Company has traded for ten consecutive days at an average closing price at or exceeding $1.25 per share.

Revenues

Our increase in lead generation revenues during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, when compared to the prior period is due primarily to an increase in the number of leads we sold to our marketing partners. During 2009, management placed greater emphasis on our lead generation platform as a dominant business line and source of revenue.

Our decrease in debt settlement referrals revenues during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, when compared to the prior period is primarily due to our decision to cease operating our Debt Settlement Referral Division effective January 1, 2009. During 2009, we will continue to receive commissions for debt settlement solutions provided to past clients, but will not be adding additional clients.

Our decrease in advertising and other revenues during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 when compared to the prior period is due to a change in financial data providers and testing different online marketing and traffic acquisition strategies.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses primarily consist of consultant fees related to the marketing and enhancement of our websites, advertising, as well as other general and administrative expenses, such as payroll expenses, necessary to support our existing and anticipated growth in our revenues and legal and professional fees.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 when compared with the prior period is primarily due to the following:

	·	an increase in lead acquisition costs of approximately $129,000; this increase is primarily due to a concerted effort by management to use such marketing programs compared to others, which are less efficient;
	·	an increase in impairment of goodwill according to SFAS No. 142 of approximately $348,000 which was recorded in the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, and which did not occur in 2008;
	·	an increase in warrant expense of approximately $236,000 due to the re-pricing of the warrants issued to the 10% notes holders; the exercise price decreased from $0.75 to $0.55, as well from the issuance of warrants for consulting services;
	·	a decrease in amortization costs of approximately $78,000; this decrease is primarily due to the fact that the Company has invested less in web development costs in 2009 when compared to prior periods, resulting in a lower amortization base;
	·	a decrease in professional services expense of approximately $131,000; this decrease is primarily due to the termination of an agreement with a marketing consultant in February 2009 and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in allocation of outside resources to support the operations of the Company; and
	·	a decrease in payroll expenses of approximately $244,000; this decrease is primarily due to the termination of employment of a number of employees in September 2008 resulting from the Company’s decreased involvement in the sales and marketing of debt settlement solutions.

Interest

Interest expense consists of interest charges associated with notes payable issued in 2008 and 2009. The increase in interest expense during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 is primarily due to the increase in the accrued interest associated with the notes payable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2009, our cash amounted to approximately $515,000 and our working deficit amounted to approximately $213,000. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, cash increased due to cash provided by financing activities, offset by cash used in operating and investing activities.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, we used cash in our operating activities amounting to approximately $298,000. Our cash used in operating activities was comprised of our net loss of approximately $766,000 adjusted for the following:

	·	Fair value of options granted to employees of approximately $40,000;
	·	Amortization of capitalized web development and discount on notes payable, and depreciation of fixed assets of approximately $17,000;
	·	Fair value of shares issued for services of $50,000;
	·	Fair value of warrants issued of approximately $97,000;
	·	Fair value of warrants issued for services of approximately $139,000; and
	·	Impairment of goodwill of approximately $348,000;

Additionally, the following variations in operating assets and liabilities impacted our cash used in operating activity:

	·	Increase in accounts receivable of approximately $103,000, resulting from increased lead generation revenues; and
	·	Increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $71,000, resulting from increased marketing programs expenditures associated with increased acquisition of leads.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, we incurred website development costs of approximately $400 in connection with development and enhancement of our websites and capital expenditures of approximately $6,000.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, we generated cash from financing activities of approximately $567,000, which consisted of the proceeds from notes payable of $567,000.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, we used cash in our operating activities amounting to approximately $675,000. Our cash used in operating activities was comprised of our net loss of approximately $953,000 adjusted for the following:

	·	Fair value of options granted to employees of approximately $34,000; and
	·	Amortization of capitalized web development and discount on notes payable, and depreciation of fixed assets of approximately $94,000.

Additionally, the following variations in operating assets and liabilities impacted our cash used in operating activity:

	·	Increase in accounts receivable of approximately $60,000, resulting from increased lead generation revenues;
	·	Increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $184,000, resulting from increased marketing programs expenditures associated with increased acquisition of leads; and
	·	Increase in deferred revenue of approximately $55,000, resulting from increased number of consumers successfully referred to debt settlement agencies.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, we incurred website development costs of approximately $42,000 in connection with development and enhancement of our websites and capital expenditures of approximately $12,000.

During three-month period ended March 31, 2008, we generated cash from financing activities of approximately $423,000, which primarily consisted of the proceeds from notes payable of $430,000, offset by the payment to former member of approximately $7,000.

Capital Raising Transactions

We may prepay the notes at any time. If the prepayment is on or prior to June 30, 2009, it will carry a premium equal to the sum of 0.5% for each full month remaining between the prepayment date and the maturity date multiplied by the principal amount then payable. In such case, principal and accrued interest are payable solely in cash. We may prepay the notes at any time on and after July 1, 2009 but prior to the maturity date without any premium or penalty. In such case, the noteholder has the option to have the principal and accrued interest paid in cash or shares of our Common Stock. If the notes are paid in shares, the notes are convertible using the same rate as described below.

The lenders may convert, at their option, the outstanding principal of the notes into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, on and after July 1 2009 and prior to maturity date, at the lesser of: (i) $0.50 per share; or (ii) the lowest effective purchase price, conversion price or exercise price, as the case may be, of any new transaction pursuant to which shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of Common Stock, are issued by the Company before the maturity date, except for shares of Common Stock issued under the Accelerize New Media Stock Option Plan.

In addition, we issued to the lenders Common Stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 313,500 shares. The warrants are exercisable for 5 years and expire on 2014, with an exercise price of $0.55 per share. The exercise price of the warrants and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and reorganizations, or in the event we issue shares of Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable to shares of Common Stock at an effective price less than the then exercise price of the warrants in which event the exercise price would be adjusted downward. We have the right to call the warrants, at a redemption price of $.001 per warrant share, commencing on the first trading day after our Common Stock has traded for 10 consecutive days at an average closing price at or exceeding $1.25 per share.

We used the cash proceeds from the offerings, the promissory notes and the line of credit advances to finance our on going operations, including, development, sales, marketing and support services.

The interest and amortization expense associated with the notes payable amounted to $22,484 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009.

Going Concern

We have generated revenues since inception but they were not an adequate source of cash to fund future operations. Historically we have relied on private placement issuances of equity and convertible debt.

It is likely that we will need to raise additional working capital to fund our ongoing operations and growth. The amount of our future capital requirements depends primarily on the rate at which we increase our revenues and correspondingly decrease our use of cash to fund operations. Cash used for operations will be affected by numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, our ability to successfully market our products and services and the degree to which competitive products and services are introduced to the market. As long as our cash flow from operations remains insufficient to completely fund operations, we will continue depleting our financial resources and seeking additional capital through equity and/or debt financing. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of debt, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing stockholders will be reduced and those stockholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our Common Stock.

There can be no assurance that acceptable financing to fund our ongoing operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern. In that event, we may be forced to cease operations and our stockholders could lose their entire investment in our company

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures -

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the evaluation conducted by management in connection with the review of our financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described below. As a result of this material weakness, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2009 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

A material weakness is "a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected by us in a timely manner." A significant deficiency, is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the registrant’s financial reporting.

Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.

During our assessment of the design and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009, management identified the following material weaknesses:

		·		There is no documentation that the board of directors monitored or provided oversight responsibility related to financial reporting and related internal controls and considered its effectiveness;
		·		While the Company has processes in place, there are no formal written policies and procedures related to certain financial reporting processes;
		·		There is no formal documentation in which management specified financial reporting objectives to enable the identification of risks, including fraud risks;
		·		The Company lacked the resources and personnel to implement proper segregation of duties or other risk mitigation system.

The Company intends to gradually improve its internal control over financial reporting to the extent that it can allocate resources to such improvements. It intends to prioritize the design of its internal control over financial reporting starting with its control environment and risk assessments and ending with control activities, information and communication activities, and monitoring activities. Although we believe the time to adapt in the next year will help position us to provide improved internal control functions into the future, in the interim, these changes caused control deficiencies, which in the aggregate resulted in a material weakness. Due to the existence of these material weaknesses, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2009.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting –

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this quarterly report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
