Item 1. Business.

Overview and Recent Developments

C2 Global Technologies Inc. (“C2” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Florida in 1983 under the name “MedCross, Inc.” which was changed to “I-Link Incorporated” in 1997, to “Acceris Communications Inc.” in 2003, and to “C2 Global Technologies Inc.” in 2005. The most recent name change reflects a change in the strategic direction of the Company following the disposition of its Telecommunications business in the third quarter of 2005, as discussed below. In the second quarter of 2006, the Company opened an office in Texas.

C2 owns certain patents, detailed below under “History and Development of the Business” and “Intellectual Property”, including two foundational patents in voice over internet protocol (“VoIP”) technology - U.S. Patent Nos. 6,243,373 and 6,438,124 (together the “VoIP Patent Portfolio”), which it seeks to license. Subsequent to the disposition of its Telecommunications business, licensing of intellectual property constitutes the primary business of the Company. C2’s target market consists of carriers, equipment manufacturers, service providers and end users in the internet protocol (“IP”) telephone market who are using C2’s patented VoIP technologies by deploying VoIP networks for phone-to-phone communications. The Company has engaged, and intends to continue to engage, in licensing agreements with third parties domestically and internationally. At present, no ongoing royalties are being paid to the Company. The Company plans to obtain licensing and royalty revenue from the target market for its patents. In this regard, in the third quarter of 2005, the Company retained legal counsel with expertise in the enforcement of intellectual property rights, and on June 15, 2006 C2 Communications Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against AT&T, Inc., Verizon Communications, Inc., Qwest Communications International, Inc., Bellsouth Corporation, Sprint Nextel Corporation, Global Crossing Limited, and Level 3 Communications, Inc. The complaint was filed in the Marshall Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, and alleges that these companies’ VoIP services and systems infringe C2’s U.S. Patent No. 6,243,373, entitled “Method and Apparatus for Implementing a Computer Network/Internet Telephone System”. The complaint seeks an injunction, monetary damages and costs. In April 2007, a trial date of August 4, 2008 was set for the lawsuit. In June 2007, the complaint against Bellsouth Corporation was dismissed without prejudice. In February 2008, the Company entered into settlement and license agreements with AT&T and Verizon.

In the third quarter of 2007, the Company began investing in Internet-based e-commerce businesses, when it acquired minority positions in MyTrade.com, Inc., Buddy Media, Inc. and LIMOS.com LLC. Its investment in MyTrade.com, Inc. was sold in the fourth quarter of 2007, and the Company recognized a gain of $75. The Company’s investment in Internet-based e-commerce businesses continued in the fourth quarter of 2007 when, effective December 7, 2007, it completed the acquisition of a one-third interest in Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners Internet Fund No. 1 GP LLC (“Knight’s Bridge GP”). The additional two-thirds interest in Knight’s Bridge GP was acquired by parties affiliated with the Company’s majority stockholder, Counsel Corporation (“Counsel”). Knight’s Bridge GP was formed to acquire the general partner interests in 2007 Fund 1 LLP (the “Fund”, subsequently renamed Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners Internet Fund No. 1 LP). At December 31, 2007, the Fund held investments in several Internet-based e-commerce businesses. As the general partner of the Fund, Knight’s Bridge GP manages the Fund, in return for which it earns a 2% per annum management fee with respect to the Fund’s invested capital. Knight’s Bridge GP also has a 20% carried interest on any incremental realized gains from the Fund’s investments. The Fund was an investor in MyTrade.com, and the Company earned approximately $7 in the fourth quarter of 2007 as its share of Knight’s Bridge GP’s carried interest when the Fund also sold its investment in MyTrade.com.

The following table presents information about the net income, loss and assets of the Company as of and for the three years ended December 31, 2007. Effective with the sale of the Telecommunications business in the third quarter of 2005, the Company no longer has distinct operating segments, as were reported in prior years. The Company’s consolidated financial statements, included in Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Report”), have been restated to include the Telecommunications operations as discontinued operations.

The independent registered public accounting firms’ reports on the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for each of the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007 contained a paragraph wherein they discussed the uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Readers are encouraged to take due care when reading the independent registered public accountants’ report included in Item 15, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in Item 7, of this Report. In the absence of ongoing licensing revenues or a substantial infusion of capital, the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern.

History and Development of the Business

In 1994, we began operating as an Internet service provider and quickly identified that the emerging IP environment was a promising basis for enhanced service delivery. We soon turned to designing and building an IP telecommunications platform consisting of proprietary software and hardware, and leased telecommunications lines. The goal was to create a platform with the quality and reliability necessary for voice transmission.

In 1997, we began offering enhanced services over a mixed IP-and-circuit-switched network platform. These services offered a blend of traditional and enhanced communication services and combined the inherent cost advantages of an IP-based network with the reliability of the existing Public Switched Telephone Network (“PSTN”).

In August 1997, we acquired MiBridge, Inc. (“MiBridge”), a communications technology company engaged in the design, development, integration and marketing of a range of software telecommunications products that support multimedia communications over the PSTN, local area networks (LANs) and IP networks. The acquisition of MiBridge permitted us to accelerate the development and deployment of IP technology across our network platform.

In 1998, we first deployed our real-time IP communications network platform. With this new platform, all core operating functions such as switching, routing and media control became software-driven. This new platform represented the first nationwide, commercially viable VoIP platform of its kind. Following the launch of our software-defined VoIP platform in 1998, we continued to refine and enhance the platform to make it even more efficient and capable for our partners and customers.

Commencing in 2001, the Company entered the Telecommunications business. The assets of the Company’s Telecommunications segment were owned through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Acceris Communications Corp. (name changed to WXC Corp. (“WXCC”) in October 2005). This business was sold effective September 30, 2005.

In 2002, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. patent No. 6,438,124 (the “C2 Patent”) for the Company’s Voice Internet Transmission System. Filed in 1996, the C2 Patent reflects foundational thinking, application, and practice in the VoIP services market. The C2 Patent encompasses the technology that allows two parties to converse phone-to-phone, regardless of the distance, by transmitting voice/sound via the Internet. No special telephone or computer is required at either end of the call. The apparatus that makes this technically possible is a system of Internet access nodes, or Voice Engines, which provide digitized, compressed, and encrypted duplex or simplex Internet voice/sound. The end result is a high-quality calling experience whereby the Internet serves only as the transport medium and, as such, can lead to reduced toll charges. Shortly after the issuance of our core C2 Patent, we disposed of our domestic U.S. VoIP network in a transaction with Buyers United, Inc., which closed on May 1, 2003. The sale included the physical assets required to operate our nationwide network using our patented VoIP technology (constituting the core business of the I-Link Communications Inc. (“ILC”) business) and included a fully paid non-exclusive perpetual license to our proprietary software-based network convergence solution for voice and data. The sale of the ILC business removed essentially all operations that did not pertain to our proprietary software-based convergence solution for voice and data. As part of the sale, we retained all of our intellectual property rights and patents.

In 2003, we added to our VoIP patent holdings when we acquired U.S. Patent No. 6,243,373, titled “Method and Apparatus for Implementing a Computer Network/Internet Telephone System” (the “VoIP Patent”), which included a corresponding foreign patent and related international patent applications. The vendor of the VoIP Patent was granted a first priority security interest in the patent in order to secure C2’s obligations under the associated purchase agreement. The VoIP Patent together with the existing C2 Patent and related international patents and patent applications form our international VoIP Patent Portfolio that covers the basic process and technology that enable VoIP communication as it is used in the market today. Telecommunications companies that enable their customers to originate a phone call on a traditional handset, transmit any part of that call via IP, and then terminate the call over the traditional telephone network, are utilizing C2’s patented technology. The comprehensive nature of the VoIP Patent is summarized in the patent’s abstract, which, in pertinent part, describes the technology as follows: “A method and apparatus are provided for communicating audio information over a computer network. A standard telephone connected to the PSTN may be used to communicate with any other PSTN-connected telephone, where a computer network, such as the Internet, is the transmission facility instead of conventional telephone transmission facilities.” As part of the consideration for the acquisition of the VoIP Patent, the vendor is entitled to receive 35% of the net earnings from our VoIP Patent Portfolio.

Revenue and contributions from technology-related operations up to December 31, 2004 were based on the sales and deployment of our VoIP solutions, which we ceased directly marketing in 2005, rather than on the receipt of licensing fees and royalties. We expect to generate ongoing licensing and royalty revenue in this business as we gain recognition of the underlying value in our VoIP Patent Portfolio through the enforcement of our intellectual property rights, as discussed above under “Overview and Recent Developments”.

The Company has previously conducted research and development activities related to its patents, most recently in 2005, when it invested $389. The Company suspended its investment in research and development in the third quarter of 2005 in conjunction with its decision to focus on the realization of licensing fees associated with its intellectual property.

On March 28, 2006, the Company sold all the shares of WXCC to a third party. The Company recognized a gain of $3,645 on the sale, net of closing costs of $118. On June 30, 2006, the same third party that had purchased the WXCC shares agreed to acquire all the shares of ILC from the Company. The Company recognized a gain of $665 on the sale, net of closing costs of $46. Both of these gains were included in income from discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

As discussed above under “Overview and Recent Developments”, in the third quarter of 2007, the Company began investing in Internet-based e-commerce businesses through its acquisitions of minority positions in MyTrade.com, Inc., Buddy Media, Inc. and LIMOS.com LLC, and it continued its investment activities in the fourth quarter of 2007 with the acquisition of a one-third interest in Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners Internet Fund No. 1 GP LLC. At December 31, 2007 the Company’s investment in these businesses totalled $519. The Company’s objective is to realize long-term capital appreciation as the value of these businesses is developed and recognized.

In 2005 and 2006, the Company was awarded patents for the VoIP Patent from the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, and Canada. In the fourth quarter of 2006, the European Patent Office advised that it intended to grant C2 a European patent that is equivalent to the VoIP Patent. The decision to grant the European patent was subsequently published on March 21, 2007 and in June 2007 the Company applied for the validation of the patent in fifteen European countries. In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company was awarded a patent in Canada for the C2 Patent.

In addition to the VoIP Patent Portfolio, which covers the foundation of any VoIP system, our patent holdings include:

Private IP Communication Network Architecture (U.S. Patent No. 7,215,663 granted May 8, 2007) - This invention relates generally to multimedia communications networks. The patent’s Internet Linked Network Architecture delivers telecommunication type services across a network utilizing digital technology. The unique breadth and flexibility of telecommunication services offered by the Internet Linked Network Architecture flow directly from the network over which they are delivered and the underlying design principles and architectural decisions employed during its creation.

C2 also owns intellectual property that solves teleconferencing problems:

Delay Synchronization in Compressed Audio Systems (U.S. Patent No. 5,754,534 granted May 19, 1998) - This invention eliminates popping and clicking when switching between parties in a communications conferencing system employing signal compression techniques to reduce bandwidth requirements.

Volume Control Arrangement for Compressed Information Signals (U.S. Patent No. 5,898,675 granted April 27, 1999) - This invention allows for modifying amplitude, frequency or phase characteristics of an audio or video signal in a compressed signal system without altering the encoder or decoder employed by each conferee in a conferencing setting, so that individuals on the conference call can each adjust their own gain levels without signal degradation.

Employees

As of December 31, 2007, C2 had five employees, all of whom are also employees of Counsel. The salaries of four of the employees are paid by Counsel. Under the terms of a management services agreement (the “Agreement”), as described in Item 11 of this Report, the Counsel employees provide management and administrative services to C2 and the associated costs are allocated to C2. The CEO has a separate employment arrangement with C2, as discussed in Item 11. The Company expects to hire additional employees as it pursues its patent licensing strategy, although there are no specific plans at this time.

Industry
 
The communications services industry continues to evolve, both domestically and internationally, providing significant opportunities and risks to the participants in these markets. Factors that have driven this change include:
 
 
·
 
entry of new competitors and investment of substantial capital in existing and new services, resulting in significant price competition
 
 
·
 
technological advances resulting in a proliferation of new services and products and rapid increases in network capacity
 
 
 
·
 
the Telecommunications Act of 1996; as amended, and
 
 
 
·
 
growing deregulation of communications services markets in the United States and in other countries around the world.
 
 
Historically, the communications services industry transmitted voice and data over separate networks using different technologies. Traditional carriers have typically built telephone networks based on circuit switching technology, which establishes and maintains a dedicated path for each telephone call until the call is terminated.

VoIP is a technology that can replace the traditional telephone network. This type of data network is more efficient than a dedicated circuit network because the data network is not restricted by the one-call, one-line limitation of a traditional telephone network. This improved efficiency creates cost savings that can be either passed on to the consumer in the form of lower rates or retained by the VoIP provider. In addition, VoIP technology enables the provision of enhanced services such as unified messaging.

Competition
 
We are seeking to have telecommunications service providers (“TSPs”), equipment suppliers (“ESs”) and end users license our patents. In this regard, our competition is existing technology, outside the scope of our patents, which allows TSPs and ESs to deliver communication services to their customers.
 
VoIP has become a widespread and accepted telecommunications technology, with a variety of applications in the telecommunications and other industries. While we and many others believe that we will see continued proliferation of this technology in the coming years, and while we believe that this proliferation will occur within the context of our patents, there is no certainty that this will occur, or that it will occur in a manner that requires organizations to license our patents.

Government Regulation
 
Recent legislation in the United States, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has increased regulatory and compliance costs as well as the scope and cost of work provided to us by our independent registered public accountants and legal advisors. The Company has become subject to Section 404 reporting as of December 31, 2007. As implementation guidelines continue to evolve, we expect to continue to incur costs, which may or may not be material, in order to comply with legislative requirements or rules, pronouncements and guidelines by regulatory bodies.

Available Information

C2 is subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which requires that C2 file reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The SEC maintains a website on the Internet at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers, including C2, which file electronically with the SEC. In addition, C2’s Exchange Act filings may be inspected and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

You should carefully consider and evaluate these risk factors, as any of them could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, which, in turn, can adversely affect the price of our securities.

Reports of our independent registered accountants have made reference to the going concern risk.
 
In each of their audit reports for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, our independent registered public accounting firm has made reference to the uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Before considering making an investment or becoming a stakeholder in C2, you should carefully review the aforementioned accountants’ reports and ensure that you have read and understood them, and have obtained relevant advice from your financial and other advisors.

If we were to default on any of our related party loans, Counsel could foreclose on our assets.
 
At December 31, 2007 Counsel owned 92.51% of the equity of the Company. Counsel had previously committed, by means of a Keep Well agreement (the “Keep Well”) that expired on December 31, 2006, to fund the operating cash requirements of the Company. Although Counsel funded our minimal cash requirements during 2007, and has indicated that it will continue to do so until at least December 31, 2008, which is the maturity date of the outstanding loan payable to Counsel, it has not formally committed to long-term funding of our operations. Our assets serve as collateral for our related party debt. In the event that we were to default on this debt, and Counsel foreclosed on our assets, we would be unable to continue our operations as they are presently conducted, if at all. Our aggregate total debt to Counsel at December 31, 2007 was $2,335. See the section entitled “Transactions with Counsel” in Item 13 of this Report.

Certain of our recently-acquired portfolio investments are particularly subject to risk of loss.
 
The preferred share investment that the Company made in Buddy Media during the third quarter of 2007 is in a development stage company that has yet to provide a return to shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Company will either recover the value of its initial investment or earn a positive return.

We are subject to litigation.
 
We are, from time to time, involved in various claims, legal proceedings and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. The significant litigation matters in which we are involved at this time are detailed in Item 3 of this Report.

We may be required to make cash payments to dissenting stockholders.
 
At our Adjourned Meeting of Stockholders held on December 30, 2003, our stockholders, among other things, approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, deleting Article VI thereof (regarding liquidations, reorganizations, mergers and the like). Stockholders who were entitled to vote at the meeting and advised us in writing, prior to the vote on the amendment, that they dissented and intended to demand payment for their shares if the amendment was effectuated, were entitled to exercise their appraisal rights and obtain payment in cash for their shares under Sections 607.1301 - 607.1333 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “Florida Act”), provided their shares were not voted in favor of the amendment.

In January 2004, we sent appraisal notices in compliance with Florida corporate statutes to all stockholders who had advised us of their intention to exercise their appraisal rights. The appraisal notices included our estimate of fair value of our shares, at $4.00 per share on a post-split basis. These stockholders had until February 29, 2004 to return their completed appraisal notices along with certificates for the shares for which they were exercising their appraisal rights. Approximately 33 stockholders holding approximately 74,000 shares of our stock returned completed appraisal notices by February 29, 2004. A stockholder of 20 shares notified us of his acceptance of our offer of $4.00 per share, while the stockholders of the remaining shares did not accept our offer. Subject to the qualification that, in accordance with the Florida Act, we may not make any payment to a stockholder seeking appraisal rights if, at the time of payment, our total assets are less than our total liabilities, stockholders who accepted our offer to purchase their shares at the estimated fair value will be paid for their shares within 90 days of our receipt of a duly executed appraisal notice. If we should be required to make any payments to dissenting stockholders, Counsel will fund any such amounts through advances to C2. Stockholders who did not accept our offer were required to indicate their own estimate of fair value, and if we do not agree with such estimates, the parties are required to go to court for an appraisal proceeding on an individual basis, in order to establish fair value. Because we did not agree with the estimates submitted by most of the dissenting stockholders, we have sought a judicial determination of the fair value of the common stock held by the dissenting stockholders. On June 24, 2004, we filed suit against the dissenting stockholders seeking a declaratory judgment, appraisal and other relief in the Circuit Court for the 17th Judicial District in Broward County, Florida. On February 4, 2005, the declaratory judgment action was stayed pending the resolution of the direct and derivative lawsuits filed in California. This decision was made by the judge in the Florida declaratory judgment action due to the similar nature of certain allegations brought by the defendants in the declaratory judgment matter and the California lawsuits. On March 7, 2005, the dissenting shareholders appealed the decision of the District Court judge to the Fourth District Court of Appeals for the State of Florida, which denied the appeal on June 21, 2005. When the declaratory judgment matter resumes, there is no assurance that this matter will be resolved in our favor and an unfavorable outcome of this matter could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

We may fail to either adequately protect our proprietary technology and processes, or enforce our intellectual property rights, which would allow competitors to take advantage of our development efforts.
 
The Company’s VoIP Patent Portfolio consists of United States Patents No. 6,243,373 and No. 6,438,124. The ultimate value of these patents has yet to be determined. If we fail to obtain or maintain adequate protections, or are unsuccessful in enforcing our patent rights, we may not be able to either realize value from our patents, or prevent third parties from benefiting from those patents without benefit to the Company. Any currently pending or future patent applications may not result in issued patents. In addition, any issued patents may not have priority over any patent applications of others or may not contain claims sufficiently broad to protect us against third parties with similar technologies, products or processes.

Our principal stockholder, Counsel, has voting control over us and our executive officers are employees of Counsel.
 
Counsel owns approximately 93% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, Counsel controls all matters requiring approval by the stockholders, including the election of the Board of Directors and significant corporate transactions. Our Board of Directors has five members, four of whom are independent of Counsel. The Board establishes corporate policies and has the sole authority to nominate and elect officers to carry out those policies. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Vice President of Accounting and Corporate Secretary are all employees of Counsel. Counsel’s control over C2 could delay or prevent a change in control of the Company, impede a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us, or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.

Provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, could prevent or delay stockholders' attempts to replace or remove current management.
 
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide for staggered terms for the members of our Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is divided into three staggered classes, and each director serves a term of three years. At each annual stockholders’ meeting only those directors comprising one of the three classes will have completed their term and stand for re-election or replacement. These provisions may be beneficial to our management and the Board of Directors in a hostile tender offer, and may have an adverse impact on stockholders who may want to participate in such a tender offer, or who may want to replace some or all of the members of the Board of Directors.

Our Board of Directors may issue additional shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval.
 
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $10.00 par value per share. The Board of Directors is authorized to determine the rights and preferences of any additional series or class of preferred stock. The Board of Directors may, without stockholder approval, issue shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which are senior to our shares of common stock or which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the existing holders of outstanding shares of preferred stock or common stock. The issuance of additional shares of preferred stock may also hamper or discourage an acquisition or change in control of C2.

We may conduct future offerings of our common stock and preferred stock and pay debt obligations with our common and preferred stock that may diminish our investors’ pro rata ownership and depress our stock price.
 
We reserve the right to make future offers and sales, either public or private, of our securities including shares of our preferred stock, common stock or securities convertible into common stock at prices differing from the price of the common stock previously issued. In the event that any such future sales of securities are effected or we use our common or preferred stock to pay principal or interest on our debt obligations, an investor’s pro rata ownership interest may be reduced to the extent of any such issuances and, to the extent that any such sales are effected at consideration which is less than that paid by the investor, the investor may experience dilution and a diminution in the market price of the common stock. As of the date of this Report, a third party holds a Warrant to acquire 1,000,000 shares of common stock.

The telecommunications market is volatile.
 
During the last several years, the telecommunications industry has been very volatile as a result of overcapacity, which has led to price erosion and bankruptcies. If our potential licensees cannot control their subscriber and customer attrition, our potential revenue could decrease significantly as the licensees become unable to meet their financial obligations.

There is a limited public trading market for our common stock; the market price of our common stock has been volatile and could experience substantial fluctuations.
 
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and has a limited public trading market. Without an active trading market, there can be no assurance regarding the liquidity or resale value of the common stock. In addition, the market price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, volatile. Such price fluctuations may be affected by general market price movements or by reasons unrelated to our operating performance or prospects such as, among other things, announcements concerning us or our competitors, technological innovations, government regulations, and litigation concerning proprietary rights or other matters.

We may not be able to utilize income tax loss carryforwards.
 
Restrictions in our ability to utilize income tax loss carry forwards have occurred in the past due to the application of certain changes in ownership tax rules in the United States. There is no certainty that the application of these rules may not recur. In addition, further restrictions of, reductions in, or expiry of net operating loss and net capital loss carry forwards may occur through future merger, acquisition and/or disposition transactions or failure to continue a significant level of business activities. Any such additional limitations could require us to pay income taxes in the future and record an income tax expense to the extent of such liability. We could be liable for income taxes on an overall basis while having unutilized tax loss carry forwards since these losses may be applicable to one jurisdiction and/or particular line of business while earnings may be applicable to a different jurisdiction and/or line of business. Additionally, income tax loss carry forwards may expire before we have the ability to utilize such losses in a particular jurisdiction and there is no certainty that current income tax rates will remain in effect at the time when we have the opportunity to utilize reported tax loss carry forwards.

We have not declared any dividends on our common stock to date and have no expectation of doing so in the foreseeable future.
 
The payment of cash dividends on our common stock rests within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, unencumbered cash, capital requirements and our financial condition, as well as other relevant factors. To date, we have not paid dividends on our common stock nor do we anticipate that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2007, we do not have any preferred stock outstanding that has any preferential dividends. Additionally, under the Florida Act, we cannot pay dividends while we have negative stockholders’ equity.

Item 2. Properties.

The Company, in connection with its intellectual property licensing business, rents approximately 200 square feet of office space in Marshall, Texas on a month to month basis for a nominal amount. Should the Company be required to vacate these premises, ample alternative space is available. All accounting and reporting functions are carried out from the corporate office of its majority stockholder, Counsel, located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Company is not required to pay rent or other occupancy costs to Counsel.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

On April 16, 2004, certain stockholders of the Company (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a putative derivative complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of San Diego (the “Complaint”) against the Company, WorldxChange Corporation (sic), Counsel Communications LLC, and Counsel Corporation as well as four present and former officers and directors of the Company, some of whom also are or were directors and/or officers of the other corporate defendants (collectively, the “Defendants”). The Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Defendants, in their respective roles as controlling stockholder and directors and officers of the Company committed breaches of the fiduciary duties of care, loyalty and good faith and were unjustly enriched, and that the individual Defendants committed waste of corporate assets, abuse of control and gross mismanagement. The Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, restitution, disgorgement of allegedly unlawful profits, benefits and other compensation, attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with the Complaint. The Company believes that these claims are without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend this action. Although there is no certainty that this matter will be resolved in the Company’s favor, at this time the Company does not believe that the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

The Company, Counsel Communications LLC, Counsel Corporation and four of its current and former executives and board members were named in a securities action filed in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of San Diego (the “Court”) on April 16, 2004, in which the plaintiffs made claims nearly identical to those set forth in the Complaint in the derivative suit described above. The Company believes that these claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend this action. Although there is no certainty that this matter will be resolved in the Company’s favor, at this time the Company does not believe that the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial position or liquidity. In February 2006, the plaintiffs in both this action and the derivative action described above changed attorneys. On July 31, 2007, the trial date for both actions was moved to June 6, 2008.

At our Adjourned Meeting of Stockholders held on December 30, 2003, our stockholders, among other things, approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, deleting Article VI thereof (regarding liquidations, reorganizations, mergers and the like). Stockholders who were entitled to vote at the meeting and advised us in writing, prior to the vote on the amendment, that they dissented and intended to demand payment for their shares if the amendment was effectuated, were entitled to exercise their appraisal rights and obtain payment in cash for their shares under Sections 607.1301 - 607.1333 of the Florida Act, provided their shares were not voted in favor of the amendment. In January 2004, we sent appraisal notices in compliance with Florida corporate statutes to all stockholders who had advised us of their intention to exercise their appraisal rights. The appraisal notices included our estimate of fair value of our shares, at $4.00 per share on a post-split basis. These stockholders had until February 29, 2004 to return their completed appraisal notices along with certificates for the shares for which they were exercising their appraisal rights. Approximately 33 stockholders holding approximately 74,000 shares of our stock returned completed appraisal notices by February 29, 2004. A stockholder of 20 shares notified us of his acceptance of our offer of $4.00 per share, while the stockholders of the remaining shares did not accept our offer. Subject to the qualification that, in accordance with the Florida Act, we may not make any payment to a stockholder seeking appraisal rights if, at the time of payment, our total assets are less than our total liabilities, stockholders who accepted our offer to purchase their shares at the estimated fair value will be paid for their shares within 90 days of our receipt of a duly executed appraisal notice. If we should be required to make any payments to dissenting stockholders, Counsel will fund any such amounts through advances to C2. Stockholders who did not accept our offer were required to indicate their own estimate of fair value, and if we do not agree with such estimates, the parties are required to go to court for an appraisal proceeding on an individual basis, in order to establish fair value. Because we did not agree with the estimates submitted by most of the dissenting stockholders, we have sought a judicial determination of the fair value of the common stock held by the dissenting stockholders. On June 24, 2004, we filed suit against the dissenting stockholders seeking a declaratory judgment, appraisal and other relief in the Circuit Court for the 17th Judicial District in Broward County, Florida. On February 4, 2005, the declaratory judgment action was stayed pending the resolution of the direct and derivative lawsuits filed in California. This decision was made by the judge in the Florida declaratory judgment action due to the similar nature of certain allegations brought by the defendants in the declaratory judgment matter and the California lawsuits described above. On March 7, 2005, the dissenting shareholders appealed the decision of the District Court judge to the Fourth District Court of Appeals for the State of Florida, which denied the appeal on June 21, 2005. When the declaratory judgment matter resumes, there is no assurance that this matter will be resolved in our favor and an unfavorable outcome of this matter could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

On June 15, 2006, C2 Communications Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against AT&T, Inc., Verizon Communications, Inc., Qwest Communications International, Inc., Bellsouth Corporation, Sprint Nextel Corporation, Global Crossing Limited, and Level 3 Communications, Inc. The complaint was filed in the Marshall Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas and alleges that the defendants’ services and systems utilizing VoIP infringe C2’s U.S. Patent No. 6,243,373, entitled “Method and Apparatus for Implementing a Computer Network/Internet Telephone System”. The complaint seeks an injunction, monetary damages, and costs. In April 2007, a trial date of August 4, 2008 was set for the lawsuit. In June 2007, the complaint against Bellsouth Corporation was dismissed without prejudice. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in this litigation. In February 2008, the Company settled the complaints against AT&T and Verizon by entering into settlement and license agreements.

The Company is involved in various other legal matters arising out of its operations in the normal course of business, none of which are expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The following graph compares our cumulative total stockholder return with that of the Russell 2000 index of small-capitalization companies and our peer group. Our peer group consists of Acacia Technologies Group, Forgent Networks Inc. (d/b/a Asure Software), UTEK Corporation, Patriot Scientific Corporation and Network-1 Security Solutions Inc. We selected these companies for our Current Group because they are in the business of licensing intellectual property in a manner that is similar to our business model. The graph assumes an initial investment of $100.00 made on December 31, 2002, and the reinvestment of dividends (where applicable). We have never paid a dividend on our common stock.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

(All dollar amounts are presented in thousands USD, unless otherwise indicated, except per share amounts)

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, included in Item 8 of this Report. Our accounting policies have the potential to have a significant impact on our financial statements, either because of the significance of the financial statement item to which they relate, or because they require judgment and estimation due to the uncertainty involved in measuring, at a specific point in time, events which are continuous in nature.

Forward-Looking Information

This Report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are based on management’s exercise of business judgment as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used in this document, the words “may”, "will”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, and words of similar import, are intended to identify any forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current view of future events and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as noted below. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation, and do not intend, to update, revise or otherwise publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of any unanticipated events. Although we believe that our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will materialize. 

Business Overview, Recent Developments and Outlook

Please see Item 1, above, of this Report for an overview of the Company’s business and development. Please see Item 1A, above, for a discussion of the risk factors that may impact the Company’s current and future operations, and financial condition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As a result of our historical operating losses and negative cash flows from operations, at December 31, 2007 we had a stockholders’ deficit of $941 (2006 - $469) and a working capital deficit of $1,653 (2006 - $1,782). The working capital deficit decreased by $1,000 due to the Company recording a deferred income tax asset of $1,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007 as a result of the settlement and license agreements that were finalized in the first quarter of 2008, and by $148 due to a reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. These decreases were offset by net advances of $2,145 from our majority stockholder, Counsel Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Counsel”), and the capitalization of $184 interest on those advances. During 2007, Counsel advanced a total of $3,245, and the Company repaid $1,100 of principal from the proceeds of the redemption of the AccessLine portfolio investment and the sale of the investment in MyTrade.com, Inc., which are discussed in more detail in Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements. The bulk of the advances from Counsel were used to fund the January 10, 2007 repayment of the $1,471 convertible note (the “Note”) owing to a third party lender at December 31, 2006. The Note’s repayment also resulted in the elimination of its associated $62 deferred financing costs and $172 debt discount, further increasing the working capital deficit.

As a result of the settlement and license agreements entered into with respect to the VoIP Patent Portfolio in 2008, the Company expects to recognize revenues from continuing operations for the first time since 2004. At the present time, the Company expects to have positive operating cash flows in 2008. However, the Company must continue to realize value from its intellectual property through ongoing licensing and royalty revenue, as discussed in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, in order to continue as a going concern. Absent an ongoing revenue stream, there is significant doubt regarding the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing to fund its operations without the support of Counsel.

Related party debt owing to Counsel is $2,335 at December 31, 2007 compared to $6 at December 31, 2006. Interest on the related party debt is capitalized, at the end of each quarter, and added to the principal amount outstanding. The related party debt was scheduled to mature on December 31, 2007, but has been extended until December 31, 2008. Until December 31, 2006, the debt was supported by Counsel’s Keep Well agreement with C2, which required Counsel to fund, through long-term intercompany advances or equity contributions, all capital investment, working capital or other operational cash requirements of C2. The Keep Well was not extended beyond its December 31, 2006 maturity, but Counsel has indicated that it will fund the Company’s minimal cash requirements until at least December 31, 2008.

The Company had no long-term third party debt at December 31, 2007.

Ownership Structure and Capital Resources

 
·
The Company is 92.51% owned by Counsel. The remaining 7.49% is owned by public stockholders.

 
·
Since becoming controlling stockholder in 2001, Counsel has invested over $100,000 in C2 to fund the development of C2’s technology and its Telecommunications business. At December 29, 2006 C2 owed $83,582 to Counsel, including accrued and unpaid interest. As discussed in Note 9 of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 15 of this Report, on December 30, 2006 Counsel converted $3,386 of this debt into 3,847,475 common shares of C2, and forgave the balance of $80,196. Counsel subsequently provided net advances of $2,151 through December 31, 2007. The disposition of the Telecommunications business in the third quarter of 2005 significantly reduced both the complexity and the funding requirements of the Company’s operations, and Counsel’s investment during 2006 and 2007 was significantly less than its investment in prior years. As noted above, should the Company fail to establish ongoing patent licensing and royalty revenues, the Company’s ongoing operations may again become dependent on funding by Counsel.

Cash Position

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2007 were $67 compared to $3 in 2006 and $1,833 in 2005.

Cash utilized in operating activities

Cash used in operating activities (excluding discontinued operations) during 2007 was $1,268 (2006 - $2,324; 2005 - $3,350). The net loss from continuing operations decreased $11,407 to $639 in 2007 compared to $12,046 in 2006. In 2007, the loss from discontinued operations was $6, as compared to income of $4,370 in 2006, a net decrease of $4,376. In the fourth quarter of 2007 the Company recorded a deferred income tax recovery of $1,000; there was no similar transaction in 2006. The other significant changes in non-cash items in 2007 as compared to 2006 involved related party debt. In 2006 the Company recorded $2,848 of amortization of discount and debt issuance costs on a convertible note owing to Counsel; as this debt was eliminated by conversion and forgiveness on December 30, 2006, there were no similar amounts recorded in 2007. As well, Counsel’s December 30, 2006 forgiveness of the remaining debt owing resulted in capitalized interest being reduced from $7,542 in 2006 to $184 in 2007, a difference of $7,358. It should also be noted that the reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in 2007 was $148, compared to $1,224 in 2006, a reflection of the reduced complexity of the Company’s operations following the sale of its Telecommunications business during the third quarter of 2005.

Cash provided by investing activities

Net cash provided by investing activities (excluding discontinued operations) during 2007 was $655 (2006 - $0, 2005 - $0). In 2007, the Company’s $1,100 preferred share investment in AccessLine Communications was redeemed in full. The Company subsequently invested $595 in the portfolio investments described in Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements, and received $150 from the sale of one of these investments. There were no similar transactions in 2006 and 2005.

Cash provided by financing activities

Financing activities (excluding discontinued operations) provided net cash of $683 (2006 - $2,142; 2005 - $12,092). Net financing from Counsel was $2,145 in 2007 compared to $2,401 in 2006, a decrease of $256. However, the Company’s payments to its third party lender in 2007 decreased $303, from $1,765 in 2006 to $1,462 in 2007. In 2006, $1,506 of the payments to the third party lender were made from cash that had been segregated in 2005 for that purpose; no segregated cash remained to be applied in 2007.

Contractual Obligations

We have no contractual commitments other than our debt. We have no liabilities associated with income taxes that require disclosure under the terms and provisions of FIN 48. The following table summarizes our contractual obligations, including estimated interest payable, at December 31, 2007:

In order to more fully understand the comparison of the results of continuing operations for 2007 as compared to 2006, and for 2006 as compared to 2005, it is important to note the significant changes that occurred in 2005 and 2006. On May 19, 2005, we entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of the assets, and to transfer certain liabilities, of WXC Corp. (“WXCC”, formerly Acceris Communications Corp.) to Acceris Management and Acquisition LLC, an unrelated third party. The sale closed on September 30, 2005. The operational results related to WXCC were reclassified as discontinued operations in 2005 and prior years, and accordingly are not included in the following analysis of continuing operations. Similarly, in the second quarter of 2006 we entered into a stock purchase agreement with a third party, which agreed to acquire all of the shares of I-Link Communications Inc. (“ILC”) from the Company. The operational results related to ILC were reclassified as discontinued operations in 2006 and prior years, and are not included in the following analysis of continuing operations.
 
Patent licensing revenue is derived from licensing and related services revenue. Utilizing our patented technology, VoIP enables telecommunications customers to originate a phone call on a traditional handset, transmit any part of that call via the Internet, and then terminate the call over the traditional telephone network. Our VoIP Patent Portfolio is an international patent portfolio covering the basic process and technology that enables VoIP communications. The Company has engaged, and intends to continue to engage, in licensing agreements with third parties domestically and internationally. At present, no ongoing royalties are being paid to the Company. The Company plans to obtain licensing and royalty revenue from the target market for its patents. In this regard, in the third quarter of 2005, the Company retained legal counsel with expertise in the enforcement of intellectual property rights, and on June 15, 2006 C2 Communications Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against AT&T, Inc., Verizon Communications, Inc., Qwest Communications International, Inc., Bellsouth Corporation, Sprint Nextel Corporation, Global Crossing Limited, and Level 3 Communications, Inc. The complaint was filed in the Marshall Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, and alleges that these companies’ VoIP services and systems infringe the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 6,243,373, entitled “Method and Apparatus for Implementing a Computer Network/Internet Telephone System”. The complaint seeks an injunction, monetary damages and costs. In April 2007, a trial date of August 4, 2008 was set for the lawsuit. In June 2007, the complaint against Bellsouth Corporation was dismissed without prejudice. In February 2008, the Company settled the complaints against AT&T and Verizon by entering into settlement and license agreements.

Revenue and contributions from this business were historically based on the sales and deployments of our VoIP solutions, which we ceased directly marketing in 2005, rather than on the receipt of licensing fees and royalties. We expect to generate ongoing licensing and royalty revenue in this business as we gain recognition of the underlying value in our VoIP Patent Portfolio through the enforcement of our intellectual property rights. In connection with the 2003 acquisition of U.S. Patent No. 6,243,373, the Company agreed to remit, to the former owner of the patent, 35% of the net proceeds from future revenue derived from the licensing of the VoIP Patent Portfolio. Net proceeds are defined as revenue from licensing the VoIP Patent Portfolio less costs necessary to obtain the licensing arrangement. To date, no payments have been made to the former owner of the patent, as the relevant costs incurred have exceeded licensing revenues. As we earn patent licensing revenues, we expect that there will be net proceeds that will be subject to the former owner’s 35% entitlement.

2007 Compared to 2006

Patent licensing revenues were $0 in both 2007 and 2006.

Selling, general, administrative and other expense was $1,216 for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $1,281 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The significant changes included:

 
·
Compensation expense was $304 compared to $234 in 2006. The salary earned by the CEO of C2 remained unchanged at $138; however, stock-based compensation expense increased by $27, from $139 in 2006 to $166 in 2007. In 2006 the Company incurred compensation expense of $27 for an employee who provided technology-related services; his employment terminated in the second quarter of 2006 and consequently there was no corresponding expense in 2007. Also, in the first quarter of 2006 the Company recorded a credit of $69 relating to the reversal of bonus expense accrued in 2005 that was subsequently determined not to be warranted; there were no similar transactions in 2007.

 
·
Legal expenses in 2007 were $157, comparable to $171 in 2006.

 
·
Accounting and tax consulting expenses in 2007 were $146 compared to $295 in 2006. The decrease reflects the reduced complexity of the Company’s operations following the disposition of the Telecommunications business in the third quarter of 2005.

 
·
Fees paid to the members of our Board of Directors were $104 in 2007 and 2006.

 
·
Management fee expense charged by our majority stockholder, Counsel, was $225 in both 2007 and 2006. See Item 13 of this Report for details regarding these management fees.

 
·
Directors and officers insurance expense was $150 in both 2007 and 2006.

 
·
In the second quarter of 2007, the Company incurred expenses of $60 with respect to filing fees for patents being issued in various European countries. There was no corresponding expense in 2006.

Depreciation and amortization - This expense was $20 in both 2007 and 2006, and relates to the amortization of the cost of the VoIP Patent.

The changes in other income (expense) are primarily related to the following:

 
·
Related party interest expense was $184 in 2007, as compared to $10,390 in 2006. The decrease of $10,206 is primarily due to the decrease in the balance owing to Counsel. As discussed in Note 13 of the consolidated financial statements, on December 30, 2006, Counsel converted $3,386 of the $83,582 owed by C2 into 3,847,475 common shares and forgave the remaining balance of $80,196. Subsequent net advances by Counsel of $2,151 through December 31, 2007 resulted in much lower interest expense during 2007. It should also be noted that the related party interest expense in 2006 included $2,848 of amortization of the beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to Counsel’s ability to convert a portion of its debt. The BCF was fully amortized in 2006, prior to the debt forgiveness by Counsel, and there has been no corresponding expense in 2007.

 
·
Third party interest expense was $12 in 2007, as compared to $510 in 2006. All of the interest expense related to the Note and the warrant to purchase common stock, both held by the Company’s third party lender. As discussed in Note 9, the Note was prepaid in full effective January 10, 2007, and therefore the 2007 expense consists of interest and discount amortization for only ten days. In 2006, the combined interest expense and discount amortization were $588, and the Company recorded a credit of $78 as a mark to market adjustment on the warrant to purchase common stock. The 2006 mark to market adjustment on the warrant was based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last day of each quarter. As discussed in Note 9, in the fourth quarter of 2006 the warrant was transferred to stockholders’ equity and therefore no mark to market adjustments were required in 2007.

 
·
In 2007 the Company had other expense of $207, as compared to other income of $155 in 2006. The 2007 expense is primarily composed of the $293 cost to prepay the Note owed to the third party lender, as detailed in Note 9. It also includes the gain of $75 on the sale of the Company’s interest in MyTrade.com, as detailed in Note 5, and $6 of income related to investments where the Company has significant influence, as also detailed in Note 5. During 2007 the Company earned $2 of bank interest and received $3 as a reduction of prior years’ insurance premiums. The 2006 income primarily consists of the recovery of $110 of receivables that were fully reserved against when acquired in 2001 as part of the acquisition of the assets of WorldxChange Communications Inc. from bankruptcy, as a result of the Company entering into settlement agreements with certain carriers. The remaining income in 2006 related to interest earned on cash deposits.

2006 Compared to 2005

Patent licensing revenues were $0 in both 2006 and 2005.

Selling, general, administrative and other expense was $1,281 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $2,758 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The significant changes included:

 
·
Compensation expense was $234 compared to $275 in 2005. The 2005 expense included a bonus accrual of $69, which was reversed in the first quarter of 2006 upon determination that it was not warranted. After the effects of the bonus are removed, the comparative expense amounts for 2006 and 2005 are $303 and $206, respectively. On January 1, 2006 the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), which resulted in $139 of compensation expense being recorded in 2006. No corresponding expense was recorded in 2005. In 2006, the salary expense for the Company’s technology-related employees was $27, but the corresponding compensation costs in 2005 were included in research and development expense. These increases in compensation expense recorded in 2006 as compared to 2005 were partially offset by a reduction in the annual salary earned by the CEO of C2. Effective July 1, 2005, the annual salary was reduced from $275 to $138, with the result that the 2006 expense was $69 lower than the 2005 expense. The change in salary reflected the reduced complexity of the Company’s operations following the sale of the Telecommunications business in the third quarter of 2005.

 
·
Legal expenses in 2006 were $171 compared to $845 in 2005. The decrease in legal expenses resulted primarily from a reduced level of activity in the Company’s patent litigation with ITXC. This litigation had commenced in April 2004 and was terminated in March 2006.

 
·
Accounting and tax consulting expenses in 2006 were $295 compared to $242 in 2005.

 
·
Fees paid to the members of our Board of Directors were $104 in 2006 compared to $168 in 2005. The decrease is attributable to two factors. The first is that fewer meetings were held during 2006. As well, the Board was smaller during 2006, having been reduced, at the end of the first quarter of 2005, from eight members to four members.

 
·
Management fee expense charged by our majority stockholder, Counsel, was $225 in 2006 and $450 in 2005. See Item 13 of this Report for details regarding these management fees.

 
·
Directors and officers insurance expense was $150 in both 2006 and 2005.

 
·
Travel and entertainment expenses in 2006 were $18 compared to $240 in 2005. The reduced level of expense in 2006 reflects the decreased complexity of operations following the sale of the Telecommunications business in the third quarter of 2005.

 
·
We incurred restructuring expenses of $152 in 2005, relating to severance costs paid to former employees in the third quarter of 2005. There were no similar expenses in 2006.
 
Research and development (“R&D”) costs - In 2004, the Company resumed R&D activities related to its VoIP technology platform. The Company suspended its R&D expenditures in the third quarter of 2005 in conjunction with its decision to focus all business efforts on the realization of licensing fees associated with its intellectual property. There was therefore no R&D expense in 2006, compared to $389 in 2005.

Depreciation and amortization - This expense was $20 in 2006 compared to $32 in 2005. In 2006, this expense consisted solely of amortization of the cost of the VoIP Patent. In 2005, the Company also incurred depreciation expense on equipment that it acquired in December 2004 and sold in September 2005.

The changes in other income (expense) are primarily related to the following:

 
·
Related party interest expense was $10,390 in 2006, as compared to $12,154 in 2005. The decrease of $1,764 is attributable to two factors. Interest expense on the related party debt with our majority stockholder, Counsel, increased by $1,362, from $6,180 in 2005 to $7,542 in 2006. This was due to a larger average loan balance during 2006, including additional advances during 2006 of $2,401. The interest expense was partially offset by a reduction of $3,126 in amortization of the BCF related to Counsel’s ability to convert a portion of its debt. In 2006, amortization of the BCF was $2,848 on $19,966 of debt convertible at $5.02 per share. In 2005, amortization of the BCF was $5,974 on $18,270 of debt convertible at $5.02 per share. As discussed above, this debt was forgiven by Counsel on December 30, 2006.
 
21

 
 
·
Third party interest expense was $510 in 2006, as compared to $658 in 2005. The decrease of $148 is due to the fact that the Note with the Company’s third party lender, entered into on October 14, 2004, had a lower average balance during 2006 than during 2005. As discussed above, this debt was repaid in full in January 2007.

 
·
Other income was $155 for 2006, as compared to $1,084 in 2005. In the second quarter of 2006, the Company entered into settlement agreements with certain carriers, which resulted in the recovery of $110 of receivables that were fully reserved against when acquired in 2001 as part of the acquisition of the assets of WorldxChange Communications Inc. from bankruptcy. The remaining income is primarily due to interest earned on cash balances, including interest on the $1,800 deposit that was placed with the Company’s third party lender in October 2005 and subsequently applied to the monthly payments of the Note. In 2005, $1,115 of other income was attributable to settlement agreements with certain carriers, similar to those described for 2006. The 2005 income was partially offset by a charge of $38 when fixed assets were transferred to a former employee in return for future royalty revenues.

Adoption of Significant Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 had no material effect on the financial position, operations or cash flow of the Company. See Note 12 for further discussion of the Company’s income taxes.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, expands the required disclosures regarding fair value measurements, and applies to other accounting pronouncements that either require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption encouraged. SFAS No. 157 is to be applied prospectively, with a limited form of retrospective application for several financial instruments. The Company elected to adopt SFAS No. 157 at January 1, 2007, in order to conform to the adoption of a similar Canadian accounting pronouncement by its parent, Counsel Corporation. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no effect on its financial position, operations or cash flows.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (“FSP FAS 157-2”). FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonrecurring fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. FSP FAS 157-2 states that a measurement is recurring if it happens at least annually and defines nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities as all assets and liabilities other than those meeting the definition of a financial asset or financial liability in SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”, discussed below). FSP FAS 157-2 is effective upon issuance. Entities that applied the measurement and disclosure guidance in SFAS No. 157 in preparing either interim or annual financial statements issued before the effective date of the FSP are not eligible for the FSP’s deferral provisions. Entities are encouraged to adopt SFAS No. 157 in its entirety, as long as they have not yet issued financial statements during that year. An entity that chooses to adopt SFAS No. 157 in its entirety must do so for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities within its scope. As C2 had not employed fair value accounting for any of its nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities prior to its adoption of SFAS No. 157 at January 1, 2007, FSP FAS 157-2 had no effect on its financial position, operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159. SFAS No. 159 provides the option to measure selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value, and requires the fair values of those assets and liabilities to be shown on the face of the balance sheet. It also requires the provision of additional information regarding the reasons for electing the fair value option and the effect of the election on current period earnings. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted if SFAS No. 157 is also adopted. SFAS No. 159 is to be applied prospectively. The Company did not elect early adoption of SFAS No. 159, and is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 159 will have on its financial statements when adopted.
 
22


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141(R)”) and SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 141(R) replaces SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements. Together, SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 substantially increase the use of fair value and make significant changes to the way companies account for business combinations and noncontrolling interests. Specifically, they will require more assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at fair value as of the acquisition date, liabilities related to contingent consideration to be remeasured at fair value in each subsequent reporting period, acquisition-related costs to be expensed, and noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries to be initially measured at fair value and classified as a separate component of equity. SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. They are to be applied prospectively, with one exception relating to income taxes. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 will have on its financial statements when adopted.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates required for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 15 of this Report were those related to intangible assets, goodwill, investments, deferred tax assets, liabilities, and contingencies surrounding litigation. These estimates are considered significant because of the significance of the financial statement item to which they relate, or because they require judgment and estimation due to the uncertainty involved in measuring, at a specific point in time, events that are continuous in nature. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, as discussed below.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the Company’s price to the customer is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenues where collectibility is not assured are recognized when the total cash collections to be retained by the Company are finalized.

Intangible assets and goodwill

At December 31, 2007, the Company’s intangible assets consist of the patent rights associated with the VoIP Patent, and the Company’s goodwill relates to an investment in a subsidiary company that holds the rights to some of the Company’s patents. The patent rights are being amortized over 60 months.

The Company assesses the fair value of its intangible assets and its goodwill based upon the fair value of the Company as a consolidated entity, with the Company’s valuation being based upon its market capitalization. Management believes this to be the most reasonable method at the current time, given the absence of a predictable revenue stream and the corresponding inability to use an alternative valuation method such as a discounted cash flow analysis. At December 31, 2007, the Company’s market capitalization significantly exceeded the carrying amount of its total assets, and therefore the Company’s management determined that no impairment was present.

We cannot predict the occurrence of future events that might adversely affect the reported value of the intangible assets or the goodwill. Such events may include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, judgments on the validity of the Company’s VoIP Patent Portfolio, or other factors not known to management at this time.

Investments

The Company holds a minority preferred share investment in Buddy Media, Inc., a minority investment in LIMOS.com LLC, and a one-third interest in Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners Internet Fund No. 1 GP LLC.

The Buddy Media, Inc. preferred shares are not readily marketable, and are convertible into common stock that is also not readily marketable. The investment is accounted for under the cost method, which requires the fair value of the securities to be estimated quarterly using the best available information as of the evaluation date in order to determine whether there have been any other than temporary impairments in the investment’s carrying value. The fair value is estimated according to the guidelines of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, and given the nature of the investments it is based upon Level 3 inputs. Based on the Company’s analysis of information provided by Buddy Media, Inc., management concluded that the fair value of the investment was not impaired at December 31, 2007.

As discussed in more detail in Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company accounts for its investments in LIMOS.com LLC and Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners Internet Fund No. 1 GP LLC using the equity method. Under this method, the investments are carried at cost, plus or minus the Company’s share of increases and decreases in the investee’s net assets and certain other adjustments. The Company’s share of the net income or loss of the investee is included in other income in the Company’s income statement, and any dividends received from the investee are credited to the investment account.

Liabilities

The Company is involved from time to time in various legal matters arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. On a case by case basis, the Company evaluates the likelihood of possible outcomes for this litigation. Based on this evaluation, the Company determines whether a liability accrual is appropriate. If the likelihood of a negative outcome is probable, and the amount is estimable, the Company accounts for the liability in the current period. At this time, the Company does not believe that the outcome of the shareholder litigation in which it is currently involved will have a material adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Stock-Based Compensation

At December 31, 2007, the Company has several stock-based compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements. The Company calculates stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as revised December 2004 (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), which it was required to adopt in the first quarter of 2006. SFAS No. 123(R) superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations (“APB No. 25”), and requires that all stock-based compensation, including options, be expensed at fair value, as of the grant date, over the vesting period. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB No. 25, under which stock-based employee compensation cost was not reflected in net loss, as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company provided footnote disclosure of the pro forma stock-based compensation cost, net loss and net loss per share as if the fair-value based method of expense recognition and measurement prescribed by SFAS No. 123 had been applied to all employee options.

All options are granted with an exercise price that is equal to, or greater than, the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and the options vest in four equal installments beginning one year from the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of each option grant on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: an expected volatility of 79%, the discount window primary credit rate for the appropriate term, as supplied by the Federal Reserve, an expected term of 4.75 years as calculated according to the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, and a dividend yield of zero.

At December 31, 2007, the Company had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of $176, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 14 months.
 
24


Income taxes

The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS No. 109”). This statement requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 had no material effect on the financial position, operations or cash flow of the Company. See Note 12 for further discussion of the Company’s income taxes.

The Company periodically assesses the value of its deferred tax asset, which has been generated by a history of net operating and net capital losses, and which has been recognized in accordance with FIN 48, and determines the necessity for a valuation allowance. The Company evaluates which portion of the deferred tax asset, if any, will more likely than not be realized by offsetting future taxable income, taking into consideration any limitations that may exist on its use of its net operating and net capital loss carryforwards.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. 

Our exposure to market risk is limited to interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of interest rates. Due to the minimal amount of cash and cash equivalents currently on hand, we believe that we are not subject to any material interest rate risk as it relates to interest income. As to interest expense, at December 31, 2007 we had no variable rate debt instruments. We do not believe that we are subject to material market risk on our fixed rate debt with Counsel in the near term.

We did not have any foreign currency hedges or other derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2007. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and do not currently utilize derivative financial instruments. Our operations are conducted primarily in the United States and as such are not subject to material foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

See Consolidated Financial Statements and supplementary data beginning on pages F-1 and S-1.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures. 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”) conducted evaluations of our disclosure controls and procedures. As defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, in accordance with Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Certifying Officers, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on its assessment using these criteria, the Company’s management concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.

This Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

C2 and four of C2’s current and former executives and board members were named in derivative and securities actions filed in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of San Diego on April 16, 2004, as described in Item 3 of this Report. No director or officer of our company has, during the last five years: (i) been convicted of any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, United States federal or state securities laws, or finding any violations with respect to such laws.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of equity securities of C2 with the SEC. Officers, directors, and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by the SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.

Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and Forms 4 furnished to us pursuant to Rule 16a-3 under the Exchange Act during our most recent fiscal year, and Forms 5 with respect to our most recent fiscal year, we believe that all such forms required to be filed pursuant to Section 16(a) were timely filed as necessary, by the executive officers, directors and security holders required to file same during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Code of Ethics

C2 has adopted a code of ethics that applies to its employees, including its principal executive, financial and accounting officers or persons performing similar functions. The C2 Code of Conduct (the “Code”) can be found on the Company’s website at http://www.c-2technologies.com (follow Corporate Governance link to Governance Documents tab). The Company intends to satisfy the disclosure requirements under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding any amendments to, or waivers from, a provision of the Code that applies to its principal executive, financial and accounting officers or persons performing similar functions by posting such information on its website at the website address set forth above.

Corporate Governance

Audit Committee
 
The Audit Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning the selection and engagement of independent accountants and for reviewing the scope of the annual audit, audit fees, results of the audit and independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. The Audit Committee is also responsible for corporate governance, and reviews and discusses with management and the Board of Directors such matters as accounting policies, internal accounting controls and procedures for preparation of financial statements. Its membership is currently comprised of Mr. Toh (Chairman) and Mr. Heaton, both independent directors. The Audit Committee held four meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. On June 9, 2000, the Board of Directors approved C2’s Audit Committee Charter, which was subsequently revised and amended on July 10, 2001 and again on February 12, 2003 in order to incorporate certain updates in light of the most recent regulatory developments, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. A copy of the current Audit Committee Charter is available on the Company’s website www.c-2technologies.com.

Board Meetings and Committees; Annual Meeting Attendance
 
The Board of Directors held four meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

The Board of Directors has designated three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Special Committee of Independent Directors.

The Board has no formal policy regarding attendance at annual shareholder meetings; however, directors are encouraged to attend. No annual shareholder meeting was held during 2007.
 
Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Henry Y.L. Toh is an audit committee financial expert as defined by Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and is independent within the meaning of Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act.

Special Committee of Independent Directors
 
The Special Committee of Independent Directors reviews and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors on potential merger and acquisition activities of the business and potential financings. The Committee was formed on December 7, 2004 and is comprised of Messrs. Heaton (Chairman) and Toh. Mr. Heaton joined the committee on March 30, 2005. The Special Committee held no meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Nominating Committee and Nomination of Directors
 
C2 does not have a nominating or a corporate governance committee. However, corporate governance functions are included in the Audit Committee Charter, and Board nominations are considered by the full Board. There are no specific criteria for Director nominees; however, the Board looks for individuals who are independent and knowledgeable with respect to general business matters. There has been no material change in the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors since such procedures were adopted and implemented.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Summary

This report is the Compensation Discussion and Analysis of our executive compensation program and an explanation and analysis of the material elements of total compensation paid to each of our named executive officers. Included in the discussion is an overview and description of:

·
our compensation philosophy and program;
 
·
the objectives of our compensation program;
 
·
what the compensation program is designed to reward;
 
·
each element of compensation;
 
·
why we choose to pay each element;
 
·
how we determine the amount for each element; and
 
·
how each compensation element and our decision regarding that element fit into our overall compensation objectives and affect decisions regarding other elements.
 
In reviewing our executive compensation program, we considered issues pertaining to policies and practices for allocating between long-term and currently paid compensation and those policies for allocating between cash and non-cash compensation. We also considered the determinations for granting awards, performance factors for our company and our named executive officers, and how specific elements of compensation are structured and taken into account in making compensation decisions. Questions related to the benchmarking of total compensation or any material element of compensation, the tax and accounting treatment of particular forms of compensation and the role of executive officers (if any) in the total compensation process also are addressed where appropriate.

General Executive Compensation Philosophy

We compensate our executive management through a combination of base salaries, merit based performance bonuses, and long-term equity compensation that is designed to be competitive with similarly situated companies within our industry. Our executive compensation program is structured to align management’s incentives with the long-term interests of our shareholders, and to maximize profitability and shareholder value.

We adhere to the following compensation policies, which are designed to support the achievement of our business strategies:

·
Our executive compensation program should strengthen the relationship between compensation, both cash and equity-based, and performance by emphasizing variable, at-risk compensation that is dependent upon the successful achievement of specified corporate, business unit and individual performance goals.

·
A portion of each executive’s total compensation should be comprised of long-term, at-risk compensation to focus management on the long-term interests of shareholders.

·
An appropriately balanced mix of at-risk incentive cash and equity-based compensation aligns the interests of our executives with that of our shareholders. The equity-based component promotes a continuing focus on building profitability and shareowner value.

·
Total compensation should enhance our ability to attract, retain, motivate and develop knowledgeable and experienced executives upon whom, in large part, our successful operation and management depends.
 
We set compensation by establishing targeted compensation levels for each senior executive and allocating that compensation amount among base salary, merit-based compensation bonuses, and long-term equity compensation. At the highest and most senior levels, we offer incentive based compensation to reward company wide performance and to maximize future profitability, stock appreciation and shareholder value.

A core principle of our executive compensation program is the belief that compensation paid to executive officers should be closely aligned with our near- and long-term success, while simultaneously giving us the flexibility to recruit and retain the most qualified key executives. Our compensation program is structured so that it is related to our stock performance and other factors, direct and indirect, all of which may influence long-term shareholder value and our success.
 
30


As a result, we have designed our total executive compensation plan to include the following elements:

·
Annual Base Salaries;
 
·
Annual Performance-Based Cash Bonuses;
 
·
Long-Term Equity -Based Compensation

We utilize each of these elements of executive compensation to ensure proper balance between our short- and long-term success as well as between our financial performance and shareholder return. In this regard, we believe that the executive compensation program for our named executive officers is consistent with our financial performance and the performance of each named executive officer.

Our Named Executive Officers for 2007

This analysis focuses on the compensation paid to our “named executive officers,” which is a defined term generally encompassing all persons that served as our principal executive officer or principal financial officer at any time during the fiscal year, as well as certain other highly paid executive officers serving in such positions at the end of the fiscal year. During 2006 and 2007, our named executive officers consisted of the following officers:

Allan C. Silber - our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Silber is the Chairman and CEO of Counsel Corporation, our majority shareholder, which he founded in 1979.
 
Stephen A. Weintraub - our Executive Vice President, Corporate Secretary and Chief Financial Officer since December 2005. Mr. Weintraub is the Executive Vice President, Corporate Secretary and Chief Financial Officer of Counsel Corporation.

Except for the CEO, our company had no paid employees during 2006 and 2007.

Elements of Compensation

Base Salaries

Unless determined pursuant to their employment agreements, the base salaries of the Company’s named executive officers are evaluated annually. In evaluating appropriate pay levels and salary increases for such officers, the Compensation Committee considers achievement of the Company’s strategic goals, level of responsibility, individual performance, and internal equity and external pay practices. In addition, the Committee considers the scope of the executives’ responsibilities, taking into account competitive market compensation for similar positions, as well as seniority of the individual, our ability to replace the individual and other primarily judgmental factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee.

Base salaries are reviewed annually by our Compensation Committee and our Board, and adjusted from time to time pursuant to such review or at other appropriate times, in order to align salaries with market levels after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience. For 2008, this review will occur by June 30.

Except for the CEO, the Company had no paid employees during 2006 and 2007. As noted above, the Company’s CEO, Mr. Allan Silber, is also the CEO of Counsel. Mr. Silber’s initial annual salary of $275, and a discretionary bonus of up to 100% of his base salary, were identical to the compensation being paid to the outgoing President and CEO, whom Mr. Silber replaced at the end of 2002. Following the finalization, in May 2005, of the agreement to sell our Telecommunications business, in the third quarter of 2005 Mr. Silber’s annual salary and bonus were reduced by 50%, to $137.5 salary and a discretionary bonus of up to 100% of his base salary. However, given the continued involvement of Mr. Silber, as well as the involvement of other employees of Counsel who receive no direct compensation from the Company, the Compensation Committee made discretionary grants of options to purchase common shares to both Mr. Silber and those employees in the third quarter of 2006.

Bonuses

Bonus awards are designed to focus management attention on key operational goals for the current fiscal year. Our company executives may earn a bonus based upon achievement of their specific operational goals and achievement by the Company or business unit of its financial targets. Cash bonus awards are distributed based upon the Company and the individual meeting performance criteria objectives. The final determination for all bonus payments is made by our Compensation Committee.

We set bonuses based on certain performance measures in order to maximize and align the interests of our officers with those of our shareholders. Although performance goals are generally standard for determining bonus awards, we have and will consider additional performance rating goals when evaluating the bonus compensation structure of our executive management. In addition, in instances where the employee has responsibility over a specific area, performance goals may be directly tied to the overall performance of that particular area. It is not expected that any bonuses will be awarded for 2007.

Equity Incentive Grants

In keeping with our philosophy of providing a total compensation package that favors at-risk components of pay, long-term incentives comprise a significant component of our executives’ total compensation package. These incentives are designed to motivate and reward executives for maximizing shareowner value and encourage the long-term employment of key employees. Our objective is to provide executives with above-average, long-term incentive award opportunities.

We view stock options as our primary long-term compensation vehicle for our executive officers. Stock options generally are granted at the prevailing market price on the date of grant and will have value only if our stock price increases. Grants of stock options generally are based upon our performance, the level of the executive’s position, and an evaluation of the executive’s past and expected future performance. We do not time or plan the release of material, non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

We believe that stock options will continue to be used as the predominant form of stock-based compensation.

Other Benefits

There are no other benefits provided to employees at this time, including pension, severance or change in control benefits.

Tax Considerations

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code places limits on the deductibility of compensation in excess of $1 million paid to executive officers of publicly held companies. The Compensation Committee does not believe that Section 162(m) has had or will have any impact on the compensation policies followed by the Company.

Executive Compensation Process

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee oversees and approves all compensation and awards made to executive officers under our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee reviews the performance and compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, without his participation, and establishes his compensation accordingly, with consultation from others when appropriate. For the remaining executive officers, recommendations are made to the Compensation Committee by the Chief Executive Officer.

Grants of Plan-Based Awards

There were no grants of plan-based awards to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer during the year ended December 31, 2007. During 2006, the Chief Executive Officer was granted 300,000 options to purchase common stock, and the Chief Financial Officer was granted 75,000 options to purchase common stock. Please see the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards for the Year Ended December 31, 2006” table, as included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, for details of these options. There were no option awards to the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer during 2005.

Allan Silber, the CEO of C2, is an employee of Counsel. As CEO of C2, he is entitled to an annual salary of $137,500, plus a discretionary bonus of 100% of the base salary. No bonus was paid for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, and none is expected to be paid for the year ended December 31, 2007. Mr. Silber’s compensation is expensed by C2.

Stephen Weintraub, the CFO of C2, is an employee of Counsel. Mr. Weintraub has no employment contract with C2. The cost of Mr. Weintraub’s services to C2 is a component of the Agreement between C2 and Counsel. The Agreement was first entered into in December 2004. Under the terms of the original Agreement, C2 agreed to make payment to Counsel for the past and future services to be provided to the Company by certain Counsel personnel for the calendar years of 2004 and 2005. The basis for such services charged is an allocation, based on time incurred, of the cost of the base compensation paid by Counsel to those employees providing services to C2. In December 2005, C2 entered into a similar agreement with Counsel for services to be provided by Counsel in 2006, with the allocation determined on the same basis as the Agreement, and in May 2007, C2 and Counsel entered into a similar agreement for services to be provided during 2007. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the cost was $225,000, as compared to $450,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The amounts due under the Agreement are payable within 30 days following the respective year end, subject to applicable restrictions. Any unpaid fee amounts bear interest at 10% per annum commencing on the day after such year end. In the event of a change of control, merger or similar event of the C2, all amounts owing, including fees incurred up to the date of the event, will become due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such event. The Company expects that Counsel will continue to provide these services in 2008 on the same cost basis.

Stock Option Plans

At December 31, 2007, the Company has five stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described below. All share amounts disclosed below reflect the effect of the 1-for-20 reverse stock split which was approved by the stockholders on November 26, 2003.

1995 Director Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan

The 1995 Director Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan (the “1995 Director Plan”) provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to directors of the Company up to 12,500 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, and other similar events). If any incentive option, non-qualified option or SAR terminates prior to exercise thereof and during the duration of the 1995 Director Plan, the shares of common stock as to which such option or right was not exercised will become available under the 1995 Director Plan for the grant of additional options or rights to any eligible director. Each option is immediately exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant. The Company has 12,500 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 1995 Director Plan. No options were granted or exercised under this plan in 2007 and 2006. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, no options to purchase shares were outstanding. In 2007, no options expired (2006 - 7,500).

1995 Employee Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan

The 1995 Employee Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan (the “1995 Employee Plan”) provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, and SARs. Directors of the Company are not eligible to participate in the 1995 Employee Plan. The 1995 Employee Plan provides for the grant of stock options, which qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, to be issued to officers who are employees and other employees, as well as for the grant of non-qualified options to be issued to officers, employees and consultants. In addition, SARs may be granted in conjunction with the grant of incentive and non-qualified options.

The 1995 Employee Plan provides for the grant of incentive options, non-qualified options and SARs of up to 20,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, and other similar events). To the extent that an incentive option or non-qualified option is not exercised within the period of exercisability specified therein, it will expire as to the then unexercisable portion. If any incentive option, non-qualified option or SAR terminates prior to exercise thereof and during the duration of the 1995 Employee Plan, the shares of common stock as to which such option or right was not exercised will become available under the 1995 Employee Plan for the grant of additional options or rights to any eligible employee. The shares of common stock subject to the 1995 Employee Plan may be made available from either authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares or both. The Company has 20,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 1995 Employee Plan. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, there were no options outstanding under the 1995 Employee Plan. No options were granted or exercised in 2007 or 2006 under the 1995 Employee Plan.

1997 Recruitment Stock Option Plan

In October 2000, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment of the 1997 Recruitment Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”) which provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and SARs up to an aggregate of 370,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, and other similar events). The price at which shares of common stock covered by the option can be purchased is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors; however, in all instances the exercise price is never less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option is granted.

As of December 31, 2007, there were options to purchase 238,611 shares (2006 - 239,611 shares) of the Company’s common stock outstanding under the 1997 Plan. 168,750 of these options were unvested at December 31, 2007, and will vest between 2008 and 2010 at an exercise price of $0.66 per share. 56,250 options with an exercise price of $0.66 per share were vested at December 31, 2007 (no vested options at December 31, 2006). 13,611 options with exercise prices of $1.40 to $111.26 per share were vested at December 31, 2007 (2006 - 14,611 options with exercise prices of $1.40 to $111.26 per share). The options with an exercise price of $0.66 must be exercised within seven years of grant date and can only be exercised while the option holder is an employee of the Company. The remaining options must be exercised within ten years of grant date and can only be exercised while the option holder is an employee of the Company. The Company has not awarded any SARs under the 1997 Plan. During 2007, no options to purchase shares of common stock were issued, and 1,000 options expired. During 2006, 225,000 options to purchase shares of common stock were issued, and no options were forfeited or expired. There were no exercises during 2007 or 2006.

2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

During 2000, the Company obtained approval from its stockholders to establish the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Stock Purchase Plan provides for the purchase of common stock, in the aggregate, up to 125,000 shares. This plan allows all eligible employees of the Company to have payroll withholding of 1 to 15 percent of their wages. The amounts withheld during a calendar quarter are then used to purchase common stock at a 15 percent discount off the lower of the closing sale price of the Company’s stock on the first or last day of each quarter. This plan was approved by the Board of Directors, subject to stockholder approval, and was effective beginning the third quarter of 2000. The Company issued 1,726 shares to employees based upon payroll withholdings during 2001. There have been no issuances since 2001.

The purpose of the Stock Purchase Plan is to provide incentives for all eligible employees of C2 (or any of its subsidiaries), who have been employees for at least three months, to participate in stock ownership of C2 by acquiring or increasing their proprietary interest in C2. The Stock Purchase Plan is designed to encourage employees to remain in the employ of C2. It is the intention of C2 to have the Stock Purchase Plan qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, to issue shares of common stock to all eligible employees of C2 (or any of C2’s subsidiaries) who have been employees for at least three months.

2003 Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan

In November 2003, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2003 Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan (the “2003 Plan”) which provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and SARs up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, and other similar events). The price at which shares of common stock covered by the option can be purchased is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof; however, in the case of incentive stock options the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option is granted. As of December 31, 2007, there were options to purchase 598,250 shares (2006 - 568,250 shares) of the Company’s common stock outstanding under the 2003 Plan. The outstanding options vest over four years at exercise prices ranging from $0.51 to $3.00 per share. During 2007, 30,000 options (2006 - 230,000 options) were granted. During 2007 and 2006 no options to purchase shares of common stock were forfeited or expired. There were no options exercised during 2007 and 2006, and no SARs have been issued under the 2003 Plan.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Transactions with Management and Others

See Item 11 hereof for descriptions of the terms of employment, consulting and other agreements between the Company and certain officers, directors and other related parties.

Transactions with Counsel

At December 31, 2007, C2 was indebted to Counsel in the aggregate amount of $2,335, including accrued and unpaid interest to that date. The details of the individual notes comprising the balance owing are presented below.

Collateralized Promissory Note and Loan Agreement

During the fourth quarter of 2003, Counsel advanced the sum of $5,600 to C2, evidenced by a promissory note. In January 2004, C2 and Counsel entered into a loan agreement and an amended and restated promissory note pursuant to which an additional $2,000 was loaned to C2 and pursuant to which additional periodic loans were made from time to time (collectively and as amended, the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note accrues interest at 10% per annum compounded quarterly from the date funds are advanced. The loan has been amended several times and the maturity date of the loan plus accrued interest has been extended to December 31, 2008. The Promissory Note is secured by the assets of the Company and is subject to certain events of default which may accelerate the repayment of principal plus accrued interest. There are no conversion features associated with the Promissory Note. The loan increased primarily due to operating advances in 2004, 2005, and 2006 and the outstanding balance at December 29, 2006 (including principal and accrued interest), prior to the December 30, 2006 debt forgiveness by Counsel, was $41,897. At December 31, 2006 C2 was indebted to Counsel in the amount of $6, representing C2 expenses paid by Counsel on behalf of C2 that had not been recorded in C2’s accounts prior to the debt forgiveness. At December 31, 2007 C2 was indebted to Counsel in the amount of $2,288 due to Counsel funding the Company’s ongoing cash requirements net of the Company’s repayment of $1,000 from the proceeds of the AccessLine preferred share redemption discussed in Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements.

Secured Loan to C2

To fund the acquisition of the WorldxChange Communications, Inc. assets and operations on June 4, 2001, Counsel provided a loan (the “Initial Loan”) to C2 in the aggregate amount of $15,000. On October 1, 2003 Counsel assigned the balance owed in connection with the Initial Loan of $9,743, including accrued interest (“the Assigned Loan”), to C2 in exchange for a new loan bearing interest at 10% per annum compounded quarterly and payable on maturity of the loan (“the New Loan”). Consistent with the terms of the Initial Loan, subject to certain conditions, the New Loan provides for certain mandatory prepayments upon written notice from Counsel including an event resulting in the issuance of new shares by C2 to a party unrelated to Counsel where the funds were not used for an approved expanded business plan, the purchase of the Company’s accounts receivable by a third party or where C2 sells material assets in excess of cash proceeds of $1,000, and certain other events. The New Loan is subject to certain events of default which accelerate the repayment of principal plus accrued interest. It has been amended several times and the maturity date of the loan plus accrued interest has been extended to December 31, 2008. There are no conversion features associated with the New Loan. As of December 29, 2006, the total outstanding debt under the New Loan (including principal and accrued interest), prior to the December 30, 2006 debt forgiveness by Counsel, was $13,428. During 2007, Counsel advanced $145 and accrued interest of $2 and the Company repaid $100 from the proceeds of the MyTrade.com, Inc. sale discussed in Note 5; therefore, the total outstanding debt under the New Loan was $47 at December 31, 2007.

Initial Acquisition of C2 and Senior Convertible Loan

On March 1, 2001, C2 entered into a Senior Convertible Loan and Security Agreement, (the “Senior Loan Agreement”) with Counsel. Pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Senior Loan Agreement, Counsel agreed to make periodic loans to C2 in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $10,000, which was subsequently increased to $12,000 through amendment on May 8, 2001. The Senior Loan Agreement was amended several times and the maturity date of the loan plus accrued interest was extended to October 31, 2007. As a result of the application of the anti-dilution provisions of the Senior Loan Agreement, the conversion price was adjusted to $5.02 per common share. At December 29, 2006, prior to the December 30, 2006 debt forgiveness by Counsel, the total outstanding debt under the Senior Loan Agreement (including principal and accrued interest) was $19,966 which was convertible into approximately 3,977,208 shares of common stock. There have been no further advances under this loan since the debt was forgiven.

Assignment of Winter Harbor Common Stock and Debt Interests

Pursuant to the terms of a settlement between Counsel and Winter Harbor and First Media L.P., a limited partnership and the parent company of Winter Harbor (collectively, the “Winter Harbor Parties”), effective August 29, 2003, the Winter Harbor Parties relinquished their right to 118,750 shares of the common stock of C2 to Counsel. The Winter Harbor Parties further assigned to Counsel all of their rights with respect to a note payable by C2 of $1,999 drawn down pursuant to a Letter of Credit issued November 3, 1998 to secure certain obligations of C2 together with any accrued interest thereon. The assigned amount together with accrued interest amounted to $2,577 on August 29, 2003. As a result of the settlement and assignment, C2 entered into a new loan agreement with Counsel the terms of which provided that from August 29, 2003 the loan balance of $2,577 would bear interest at 10% per annum compounded quarterly with the aggregate balance of principal and accrued interest payable on maturity of the loan. This loan agreement was amended and restated several times to allow for the making of further periodic advances and to extend the maturity date to October 31, 2007. There were no conversion features associated with this loan. As of December 29, 2006, prior to the December 30, 2006 debt forgiveness by Counsel, the total outstanding debt under the loan (including principal and accrued interest) was $8,291. There have been no further advances under this loan since the debt was forgiven.

Counsel Guarantee, Subordination and Stock Pledge

In October 2004, Counsel agreed to guarantee the debt that the Company owed to its third party lender, and also agreed to subordinate all of its debt owed by the Company, and to subrogate all of its related security interests, in favor of the third party lender. Counsel further agreed to pledge all of its shares owned in C2 as security for its guarantee. In accordance with these agreements, amounts owing to Counsel could not be repaid while amounts remained owing to the third party lender. In January 2007, when the debt owing to the third party lender was prepaid in full, the subordination, subrogation and guarantee agreements were terminated.

As discussed in Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 15 of this Report, with respect to the Company’s investment in LIMOS.com in the third quarter of 2007, all investors in LIMOS.com have pledged their ownership interests as security for a $2,500 loan entered into by LIMOS.com and a third party lender (the “Lender”). Counsel has guaranteed $250 of the Loan on the Company’s behalf. Contemporaneously with the Company’s investment in LIMOS.com and Counsel’s guaranty, Counsel and the Lender entered into a Priorities Agreement. Under the terms of the Promissory Note, which is discussed in more detail in Note 2, Note 9 and Note 13 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company had pledged all of its assets to Counsel as security for the Promissory Note. The Priorities Agreement subordinates Counsel’s claim to the Company’s investment in LIMOS.com in favor of the Lender.

Counsel Management Services

In December 2004, C2 entered into a management services agreement (the “Agreement”) with Counsel. Under the terms of the Agreement, C2 agreed to make payment to Counsel for the past and future services to be provided by certain Counsel personnel to C2 for each of 2004 and 2005. In March 2006 C2 entered into a similar agreement with Counsel for services to be provided in 2006. The basis for such services charged was an allocation, based on time incurred, of the cost of the base compensation paid by Counsel to those employees providing services to C2. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, the cost of such services was $280 and $450, respectively. The cost for 2006 was $225, reflecting the reduced complexity of C2 operations following the sale of the Telecommunications business. The foregoing fees for 2004, 2005 and 2006 were due and payable within 30 days following the respective year ends, subject to any subordination restrictions then in effect. Any unpaid fee amounts bore interest at 10% per annum commencing on the day after such year-end, and in the event of a change of control, merger or similar event of the Company, all amounts owing, including fees incurred up to the date of the event, would have become due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such event, subject to any subordination restrictions then in effect. The fees for 2004, 2005 and 2006 were forgiven on December 30, 2006 as part of Counsel’s forgiveness of its outstanding debt from C2, as discussed above. Amounts owing to Counsel at December 31, 2006 could not be repaid while amounts remained owing to the Company’s third party lender. The repayment in full of the third party debt in January 2007 removed this restriction on payments to Counsel. In May 2007, the Company and Counsel entered into a similar agreement for services provided during 2007, and the cost for 2007 was $225. The Company expects that Counsel will continue to provide these services in 2008 on the same cost basis.

Director Independence
 
In determining director independence, C2 defines independent directors in accordance with the applicable rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. According to this definition, Mr. Toh, Mr. Heaton, Mr. Shimer and Mr. Turock are independent directors.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

In November 2006 the Company’s Audit Committee engaged Mintz & Partners LLP (“Mintz”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Previously, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was BDO Seidman, LLP. Prior to May 5, 2004, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. All fees paid to independent registered public accounting firms were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

On December 12, 2007, the Company was informed by Mintz that it had reached an agreement with Deloitte & Touche LLP’s Greater Toronto Private Company Services to merge the two firms in January 2008. The merger was completed on January 29, 2008. Effective that date, both firms were operating under the name Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte & Touche”) and Mintz ceased providing services as a separate entity.

Fees paid or expected to be paid to Deloitte & Touche, our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, are set forth below.

They amounted to $216 and $114, respectively.
 
41


Audit-Related Fees

Audit related fees were for assurance and related services rendered that are reasonably related to the audit and reviews of our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, exclusive of the fees disclosed as Audit Fees above. These fees include benefit plan audits and accounting consultations, which amounted to $51 and $11, for the respective years.

Tax Fees

Tax fees were for services related to tax compliance, consulting and planning services rendered during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 and included preparation of tax returns, review of restrictions on net operating loss carryforwards and other general tax services. Tax fees paid amounted to $23 and $17, for the respective years.

All Other Fees

We did not incur fees for any services, other than the fees disclosed above relating to audit, audit-related and tax services, rendered during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007.

Audit and Non-Audit Service Pre-Approval Policy

In accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Audit Committee has adopted an informal approval policy that it believes will result in an effective and efficient procedure to pre-approve services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm.
 
Audit Services. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit (including quarterly reviews) and other procedures required to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm to be able to form an opinion on our financial statements. The Audit Committee pre-approves specified annual audit services engagement terms and fees and other specified audit fees. All other audit services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee monitors the audit services engagement and may approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope or other items.

Audit-Related Services. Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements which historically have been provided to us by the independent registered public accounting firm and are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee pre-approves specified audit-related services within pre-approved fee levels. All other audit-related services must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Tax Services. The Audit Committee pre-approves specified tax services that the Audit Committee believes would not impair the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm and that are consistent with SEC rules and guidance. All other tax services must be specifically approved by the Audit Committee.

All Other Services. Other services are services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm that do not fall within the established audit, audit-related and tax services categories. The Audit Committee pre-approves specified other services that do not fall within any of the specified prohibited categories of services.

Procedures. All proposals for services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, which must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered and the amount of corresponding fees, are submitted to the Chairman of the Audit Committee and the Chief Financial Officer. The Chief Financial Officer authorizes services that have been pre-approved by the Audit Committee. If there is any question as to whether a proposed service fits within a pre-approved service, the Audit Committee chair is consulted for a determination. The Chief Financial Officer submits requests or applications to provide services that have not been pre-approved by the Audit Committee, which must include an affirmation by the Chief Financial Officer and the independent registered public accounting firm that the request or application is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence, to the Audit Committee (or its Chair or any of its other members pursuant to delegated authority) for approval.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
C2 Global Technologies Inc.
Toronto, Ontario, Canada

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of C2 Global Technologies Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. We also audited the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index for the year ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of C2 Global Technologies Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Also, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s recurring losses from operations and net stockholders’ capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
C2 Global Technologies Inc.
Toronto, Ontario, Canada

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of C2 Global Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. We have also audited the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index for the year ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of C2 Global Technologies Inc. at December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Also, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

C2 GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands of dollars, except share and per share amounts and where specifically indicated)

Note 1 - Description of Business and Principles of Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of C2 Global Technologies Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including C2 Communications Technologies Inc. and C2 Investments Inc. These entities, on a combined basis, are referred to as “C2”, the “Company”, or “we” in these consolidated financial statements. Our consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries over which C2 exercises control. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

C2 owns certain patents, including two foundational patents in voice over internet protocol (“VoIP”) technology - U.S. Patent Nos. 6,243,373 (the “VoIP Patent”) and 6,438,124 (the “C2 Patent”) (together the “VoIP Patent Portfolio”), which it seeks to license. The VoIP Patent, including a corresponding foreign patent and related international patent applications, was acquired from a third party in 2003. At the time of acquisition, the vendor of the VoIP Patent was granted a first priority security interest in the patent in order to secure C2’s obligations under the associated purchase agreement, as discussed in Note 11. The C2 Patent was developed by the Company.

Subsequent to the disposition of its Telecommunications business in September 2005, as discussed in Note 6 to these consolidated financial statements, licensing of intellectual property constitutes the primary business of the Company. C2’s target market consists of carriers, equipment manufacturers, service providers and end users in the internet protocol (“IP”) telephone market who are using C2’s patented VoIP technologies by deploying VoIP networks for phone-to-phone communications. The Company has engaged, and intends to continue to engage, in licensing agreements with third parties domestically and internationally. At present, no ongoing royalties are being paid to the Company. The Company plans to obtain licensing and royalty revenue from the target market for its patents, with the assistance of outside counsel, in order to realize value from its intellectual property. In February 2008, the Company entered into settlement and license agreements with AT&T and Verizon.

In the third quarter of 2007, the Company began investing in Internet-based e-commerce businesses, when it acquired minority positions in MyTrade.com, Inc., Buddy Media, Inc. and LIMOS.com LLC. In the fourth quarter of 2007 it acquired a one-third interest in Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners Internet Fund No. 1 GP LLC. These investments are discussed in more detail in Note 5.

Note 2 - Liquidity and Capital Resources 

As a result of our historical operating losses and negative cash flows from operations, at December 31, 2007 we had a stockholders’ deficit of $941 (2006 - $469) and a working capital deficit of $1,653 (2006 - $1,782). The working capital deficit decreased by $1,000 due to the Company recording a deferred income tax asset of $1,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007 as a result of the settlement and license agreements that were finalized in the first quarter of 2008, and by $148 due to a reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. These decreases were offset by net advances of $2,145 from our majority stockholder, Counsel Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Counsel”), and the capitalization of $184 interest on those advances. During 2007, Counsel advanced a total of $3,245, and the Company repaid $1,100 of principal from the proceeds of the redemption of the AccessLine portfolio investment and the sale of the investment in MyTrade.com, Inc., which are discussed in more detail in Note 5 of these consolidated financial statements. The bulk of the advances from Counsel were used to fund the January 10, 2007 repayment of the $1,471 convertible note (the “Note”) owing to a third party lender at December 31, 2006. The Note’s repayment also resulted in the elimination of its associated $62 deferred financing costs and $172 debt discount, further increasing the working capital deficit

As a result of the settlement and license agreements entered into with respect to the VoIP Patent Portfolio in 2008, the Company expects to recognize revenues from continuing operations for the first time since 2004. At the present time, the Company expects to have positive operating cash flows in 2008. However, the Company must continue to realize value from its intellectual property through ongoing licensing and royalty revenue, as discussed in Note 1, in order to continue as a going concern. Absent an ongoing revenue stream, there is significant doubt regarding the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing to fund its operations without the support of Counsel.

Related party debt owing to Counsel is $2,335 at December 31, 2007 compared to $6 at December 31, 2006. Interest on the related party debt is capitalized, at the end of each quarter, and added to the principal amount outstanding. The related party debt was scheduled to mature on December 31, 2007, but has been extended until December 31, 2008. Until December 31, 2006, the debt was supported by Counsel’s Keep Well agreement with C2, which required Counsel to fund, through long-term intercompany advances or equity contributions, all capital investment, working capital or other operational cash requirements of C2. The Keep Well was not extended beyond its December 31, 2006 maturity, but Counsel has indicated that it will fund the Company’s minimal cash requirements until at least December 31, 2008.
 
F-10


The Company had no long-term third party debt at December 31, 2007.

Ownership Structure and Capital Resources:

·  
The Company is 92.51% owned by Counsel. The remaining 7.49% is owned by public stockholders.

Since becoming controlling stockholder in 2001, Counsel has invested over $100,000 in C2 to fund the development of C2’s technology and its Telecommunications business. At December 29, 2006 C2 owed $83,582 to Counsel, including accrued and unpaid interest. As discussed in Note 9, on December 30, 2006 Counsel converted $3,386 of this debt into 3,847,475 common shares of C2, and forgave the balance of $80,196. Counsel subsequently provided net advances of $2,151 through December 31, 2007. The disposition of the Telecommunications business in the third quarter of 2005 significantly reduced both the complexity and the funding requirements of the Company’s operations, and Counsel’s investment during 2006 and 2007 was significantly less than its investment in prior years. As noted above, should the Company fail to establish ongoing patent licensing and royalty revenues, the Company’s ongoing operations may again become dependent on funding by Counsel.
 
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates include revenue recognition, purchase accounting (including the ultimate recoverability of intangibles and other long-lived assets), valuation of goodwill and intangibles, valuation of deferred tax assets, liabilities, stock-based compensation, and contingencies surrounding litigation. These estimates have the potential to significantly impact our financial statements, either because of the significance of the financial statement item to which they relate, or because they require judgment and estimation due to the uncertainty involved in measuring, at a specific point in time, events that are continuous in nature.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the Company’s price to the customer is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenues where collectibility is not assured are recognized when the total cash collections to be retained by the Company are finalized.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents primarily with financial institutions in Toronto, Canada. These accounts may from time to time exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

Furniture, fixtures, equipment and software

Furniture, fixtures, equipment and software are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Furniture, fixtures and office equipment
3-10 years
Software and information systems
3 years
Leasehold improvements
Shorter of estimated life or lease term

F-11


Intangible assets and goodwill

The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. All business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets are recorded based on estimates of fair value at the time of the acquisition.

The Company assesses the fair value of its intangible assets and its goodwill based upon the fair value of the Company as a consolidated entity, with the Company’s valuation being based upon its market capitalization. Management believes this to be the most reasonable method at the current time, given the absence of a predictable revenue stream and the corresponding inability to use an alternative valuation method such as a discounted cash flow analysis. If the carrying amount of the Company’s net assets exceeds the Company’s estimated fair value, intangible asset and/or goodwill impairment may be present. The Company measures the goodwill impairment loss based upon the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets, and estimates the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the Company’s recorded goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.

Goodwill, in addition to being tested for impairment annually, is tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. No impairment was present upon the performance of these tests at December 31, 2007 and 2006. We cannot predict the occurrence of future events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill. Such events may include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions and judgments on the validity of the Company’s VoIP Patent Portfolio, or other factors not known to management at this time. See Note 8 for more detail regarding the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets.

Investments

Investments are accounted for under the methods appropriate to each type of investment.

Equity securities that are not readily marketable, and equity securities having underlying common stock that is also not readily marketable, are accounted for under the cost method when the Company’s ownership interests do not allow it to exercise significant influence over the entities in which it has invested. This is due to the fact that the Company plans to hold the investments for an indefinite period of time with the objective of realizing long-term capital appreciation. When the Company’s ownership interests do allow it to exercise significant influence over the entities in which it has invested, the investments are accounted for under the equity method.

The Company monitors all of its investments for impairment by considering factors such as the economic environment and market conditions, as well as the operational performance of, and other specific factors relating to, the businesses underlying the investments. The fair values of the securities are estimated quarterly using the best available information as of the evaluation date, including data such as the quoted market prices of comparable public companies, market price of the common stock underlying the preferred stock, recent financing rounds of the investee, and other investee-specific information. The Company will record an other than temporary impairment in the carrying value of the investments should the Company conclude that such a decline has occurred.

Impairments, equity pick-ups, dividends and realized gains and losses on equity securities are included in other income in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 5 for further discussion of the Company’s investments.

Liabilities

The Company is involved from time to time in various legal matters arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. On a case by case basis, the Company evaluates the likelihood of possible outcomes for this litigation. Based on this evaluation, the Company determines whether a liability accrual is appropriate. If the likelihood of a negative outcome is probable, and the amount is estimable, the Company accounts for the liability in the current period. A change in the circumstances surrounding any current litigation could have a material impact on the financial statements.
 
F-12


Stock-based compensation

At December 31, 2007, the Company has several stock-based compensation plans, which are discussed in Note 16. The Company calculates stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as revised December 2004 (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), which it was required to adopt in the first quarter of 2006. SFAS No. 123(R) superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations (“APB No. 25”), and requires that all stock-based compensation, including options, be expensed at fair value, as of the grant date, over the vesting period. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB No. 25, under which stock-based employee compensation cost was not reflected in net loss, as all options granted under these plans have an exercise price at least equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company provided footnote disclosure of the pro forma stock-based compensation cost, net loss and net loss per share as if the fair-value based method of expense recognition and measurement prescribed by SFAS No. 123 had been applied to all employee options.

Research and development costs

The Company suspended its research and development activities in the third quarter of 2005. The Company expensed internal research and development costs, which primarily consist of salaries, when they were incurred.

Income taxes

The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS No. 109”). This statement requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company periodically assesses the value of its deferred tax asset, which has been generated by a history of net operating and net capital losses, and determines the necessity for a valuation allowance. The Company evaluates which portion, if any, will more likely than not be realized by offsetting future taxable income, taking into consideration any limitations that may exist on its use of its net operating and net capital loss carryforwards.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 had no material effect on the financial position, operations or cash flow of the Company. See Note 12 for further discussion of the Company’s income taxes.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying value at December 31, 2007 and 2006 for the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and related party debt, approximates fair value. At December 31, 2006, the carrying value of the Company’s third party debt was lower than the fair value of the debt due to the discounts set out in Note 9.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, expands the required disclosures regarding fair value measurements, and applies to other accounting pronouncements that either require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption encouraged. SFAS No. 157 is to be applied prospectively, with a limited form of retrospective application for several financial instruments. The Company elected to adopt SFAS No. 157 at January 1, 2007, in order to conform to the adoption of a similar Canadian accounting pronouncement by its parent, Counsel. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no effect on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.
 
F-13


In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (“FSP FAS 157-2”). FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonrecurring fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. FSP FAS 157-2 states that a measurement is recurring if it happens at least annually and defines nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities as all assets and liabilities other than those meeting the definition of a financial asset or financial liability in SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”, discussed below). FSP FAS 157-2 is effective upon issuance. Entities that applied the measurement and disclosure guidance in SFAS No. 157 in preparing either interim or annual financial statements issued before the effective date of the FSP are not eligible for the FSP’s deferral provisions. Entities are encouraged to adopt SFAS No. 157 in its entirety, as long as they have not yet issued financial statements during that year. An entity that chooses to adopt SFAS No. 157 in its entirety must do so for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities within its scope. As C2 had not employed fair value accounting for any of its nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities prior to its adoption of SFAS No. 157 at January 1, 2007, FSP FAS 157-2 had no effect on its financial position, operations or cash flows.

Segment reporting

The Company currently operates in a single business segment, patent licensing.

Discontinued Operations

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the operations and related losses on operations sold, or identified as held for sale, have been presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all years presented. Gains are recognized when realized.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159. SFAS No. 159 provides the option to measure selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value, and requires the fair values of those assets and liabilities to be shown on the face of the balance sheet. It also requires the provision of additional information regarding the reasons for electing the fair value option and the effect of the election on current period earnings. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted if SFAS No. 157 is also adopted. SFAS No. 159 is to be applied prospectively. The Company did not elect early adoption of SFAS No. 159, and is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 159 will have on its financial statements when adopted.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141(R)”) and SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 141(R) replaces SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements. Together, SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 substantially increase the use of fair value and make significant changes to the way companies account for business combinations and noncontrolling interests. Specifically, they will require more assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at fair value as of the acquisition date, liabilities related to contingent consideration to be remeasured at fair value in each subsequent reporting period, acquisition-related costs to be expensed, and noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries to be initially measured at fair value and classified as a separate component of equity. SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. They are to be applied prospectively, with one exception relating to income taxes. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 will have on its financial statements when adopted.

Note 4 -Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Company is required, in periods in which it has net income, to calculate basic earnings per share (“basic EPS”) using the two-class method described in EITF Issue No. 03-6, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under SFAS Statement No. 128 (“EITF 03-6”). The two-class method is required because the Company’s Class N preferred shares, each of which is convertible to 40 common shares, have the right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents should the Company declare dividends on its common stock. Under the two-class method, earnings for the period, net of any deductions for contractual preferred stock dividends and any earnings actually distributed during the period, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the common and preferred stockholders. The weighted-average number of common and preferred shares outstanding during the period is then used to calculate basic EPS for each class of shares.
 
F-14


In periods in which the Company has a net loss, basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The two-class method is not used, because the preferred stock does not participate in losses.

Options, warrants and convertible debt are included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, since they are assumed to be exercised or converted, except when their effect would be anti-dilutive. As the Company had a net loss from continuing operations for 2007, 2006, and 2005, diluted loss per share is not presented.

In October 2007, four shares of the Company’s Class N preferred stock held by an unrelated third party were converted into 160 shares of common stock. In May 2006, there was a similar conversion by an unrelated third party of six shares of preferred stock into 240 shares of common stock.

Potential common shares that were not included in the computation of earnings (loss) per share because they would have been anti-dilutive are as follows as at December 31:
 
     
2007
   
2006

MyTrade.com, Inc.

On August 23, 2007, the Company acquired 75,000 shares of convertible Series A Preferred Stock (8% per annum cumulative dividend) of MyTrade.com, Inc. (“MyTrade.com”) for a total purchase price of $75, representing approximately 12.5% of MyTrade.com’s preferred stock, or approximately 3.57% of MyTrade.com on an as-converted basis. MyTrade.com is a website providing investors and potential investors of all experience levels with tickerized aggregate investment data and insight from across the internet in a customized interface. On December 10, 2007, the Company completed the sale of its ownership interest in MyTrade.com to an unrelated third party. The Company’s net proceeds from the sale were $150, resulting in a gain of $75.

Buddy Media, Inc.

On September 12, 2007, the Company acquired 303,030 shares of convertible Series A Preferred Stock of Buddy Media, Inc. (“Buddy Media”) for a total purchase price of $100. Buddy Media is a leading developer of applications for emerging new media platforms, including Facebook, MySpace and other social media sites. The Company’s investment is less than 5% of Buddy Media on an as-converted basis. The Series A preferred shares vote on an as-converted basis with the common stock, are convertible by a vote of the majority of the Series A preferred stockholders or mandatorily convertible in connection with an initial public offering, and are redeemable in certain circumstances, including a liquidation or sale of Buddy Media. They are entitled to dividends in the event that common stock holders also receive dividends. The material terms of the Company’s Stockholders’ Agreement and Subscription Agreement are standard for early investments in development stage companies and include drag along rights, right of first offer, refusal rights, co-sale rights, limited anti-dilution protection, dividend preference and liquidation preference. The Series A preferred shares have standard piggyback registration rights with customary expiration provisions and are subject to a contractual 180 day market stand-off.
 
F-15


The Company’s ownership interest in Buddy Media does not allow it to exercise significant influence over Buddy Media’s operations, and the Company intends to hold the investment for an indefinite period of time. The investment is therefore accounted for under the cost method. At each balance sheet date, the Company estimates the fair value of the securities using the best available information as of the evaluation date. Because Buddy Media’s shares are not traded on an open market, their valuation must be based primarily on investee-specific information. The Company will record an other than temporary impairment of the investment in the event the Company concludes that such impairment has occurred. Based on the Company’s analysis, at December 31, 2007 there has been no impairment in the fair value of it investment in Buddy Media.

LIMOS.com LLC

On September 21, 2007, the Company acquired 400,000 units of AZ Limos LLC (name subsequently changed to LIMOS.com LLC, “LIMOS.com”) for a total purchase price of $400, representing a 16% ownership interest in LIMOS.com. LIMOS.com was incorporated in July 2007 in order to acquire the assets and operations of Limos.com (“Limos”), a private company that provides qualified leads for licensed limousine operators. The Company’s investment was part of a $2,500 capital raise by LIMOS.com.

LIMOS.com acquired the assets and operations of Limos for a purchase price of $4,300, $2,300 of which was provided by the $2,500 capital raise and $2,000 of which was provided by financing (the “Loan”) from a third party lender (the “Lender”). The Loan bears an effective interest rate of 10.5% per annum and is secured by all the assets of LIMOS.com. All investors in LIMOS.com have pledged their ownership interests as security for the Loan, and certain of the investors have guaranteed $750 of the Loan. The Company’s majority stockholder, Counsel, has guaranteed $250 of the Loan on the Company’s behalf.

Contemporaneously with the Company’s investment in LIMOS.com and Counsel’s guaranty, Counsel and the Lender entered into a Priorities Agreement. Under the terms of the Company’s note payable to Counsel, which is discussed in more detail in Note 2, Note 9 and Note 13 of these audited consolidated financial statements, the Company had pledged all of its assets to Counsel as security for the related party note. The Priorities Agreement subordinates Counsel’s security interest in the Company’s investment in LIMOS.com in favor of the Lender. As well, certain third party investors have a 20% carried interest in LIMOS.com, which is payable after all investors have received an annual 10% return on their capital from earnings generated by LIMOS.com and after all investors have received the return in full of their invested capital.

At the date of the Company’s investment in LIMOS.com, its ownership interest did not allow it to exercise significant influence over LIMOS.com’s operations, and the investment was accounted for under the cost method. Subsequently, in November 2007, the Company’s parent, Counsel, increased its ownership of an affiliated entity (the “Affiliate”) from 50% to 100%. The Affiliate has voting control of 50% of LIMOS.com, including the 16% owned by the Company. In addition, the Affiliate earns a 2% management fee, based on the invested capital of LIMOS.com, in return for managing the operations of LIMOS.com, and holds two of the four seats on LIMOS.com’s Board of Directors. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is also Counsel’s Chief Executive Officer, is a director of the Affiliate. As a result of Counsel’s acquisition of the Affiliate, the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence over LIMOS.com is deemed to have increased, and therefore the Company currently accounts for its investment in LIMOS.com under the equity method. Consequently, the Company recorded a loss of $1 from its investment for the period September 21, 2007 to December 31, 2007.

Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners Internet Fund No. 1 GP LLC

The Company acquired a one-third interest in Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners Internet Fund No. 1 GP LLC (“Knight’s Bridge GP”), effective December 7, 2007, for a total purchase price of $20. The additional two-thirds interest in Knight’s Bridge GP was acquired by parties affiliated with Counsel. Knight’s Bridge GP was formed to acquire the general partner interests in 2007 Fund 1 LLP (the “Fund”, subsequently renamed Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners Internet Fund No. 1 LP). At December 31, 2007, the Fund held investments in several Internet-based e-commerce businesses. As the general partner of the Fund, Knight’s Bridge GP manages the Fund, in return for which it earns a 2% per annum management fee with respect to the Fund’s invested capital. Knight’s Bridge GP also has a 20% carried interest on any incremental realized gains from the Fund’s investments.

The Company’s one-third ownership of Knight’s Bridge GP allows the Company to exercise significant influence, and therefore the Company accounts for its investment under the equity method. The Fund was an investor in MyTrade.com, and the Company recorded income of $7 as its share of the Knight’s Bridge GP’s carried interest when the Fund also sold its investment in MyTrade.com. Following the Fund’s sale of MyTrade.com, the Company received a cash distribution of $7 from Knight’s Bridge GP, which was recorded as a reduction of the Company’s investment.
 
F-16


All of the investments described above were funded by Counsel through advances under the Promissory Note that is discussed in Note 2, Note 9 and Note 13.

The Company’s investment at December 31, 2006 consisted of a convertible preferred stock holding in AccessLine Communications Corporation (“AccessLine”), a privately-held corporation. On September 14, 2007, AccessLine was acquired by an unrelated third party. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company agreed to accept the payment of $1,100 on September 14, 2007 as full payment of the redemption of its preferred stock holding.

Note 6 - Discontinued Operations

Disposition of the Telecommunications Business

Commencing in 2001, the Company entered the Telecommunications business, acquiring certain assets of the estate of WorldxChange Communications Inc. from bankruptcy. In 2002, the Company also acquired certain assets of the estate of RSL.COM USA Inc. from bankruptcy, and in 2003 the Company acquired Local Telcom Holdings, LLC. Together, these assets made up the Telecommunications segment of the Company’s business, which was owned through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Acceris Communications Corp. (name changed to WXC Corp. (“WXCC”) in October 2005).

The Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2005, to sell substantially all of the assets and to transfer certain liabilities of WXCC to Acceris Management and Acquisition LLC (“AMA”), an arm’s length Minnesota limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of North Central Equity LLC. In addition, on May 19, 2005, the parties executed a Management Services Agreement (“MSA”), Security Agreement, Note, Proxy and Guaranty. Upon receipt of the requisite approvals, including shareholder approval, the transaction was completed on September 30, 2005.

The sale resulted in a gain on disposition of $6,387, net of disposition and business exit costs. This gain, as well as the Telecommunications operations for the year ended December 31, 2005, have been reported in discontinued operations. In connection with the sale, the Company incurred one-time termination costs of $697. $496 of these costs were paid during 2005, and the remaining $201 were paid during 2006. The Company recorded these costs as an expense of discontinued operations.

On February 28, 2006, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with a third party, which agreed to acquire all the shares of WXCC from the Company, subject to certain closing requirements. As a result of all closing requirements being completed and the third party lender’s consent to the release of its security interest on March 28, 2006, the Company was relieved of $3,763 of obligations that had previously been classified as liabilities of discontinued operations. The Company recognized a gain of $3,645 on the sale, net of closing costs of $118, which is included in income from discontinued operations.

On June 26, 2006, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with the same third party involved in the purchase of the WXCC shares, discussed above. The third party agreed to acquire all the shares of ILC from the Company, subject to certain closing requirements. As a result of all closing requirements being completed as of June 30, 2006, the Company was relieved of $711 of obligations that had previously been classified as liabilities of discontinued operations. The Company recognized a gain of $665 on the sale, net of closing costs of $46, which is included in income from discontinued operations.

Aggregate amortization expense of intangibles was $20 for each of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. Amortization expense is expected to be $20 in 2008, at which point the patent rights will be fully amortized.

The Company’s goodwill relates to an investment in a subsidiary company that holds certain of the Company’s patent rights.

Counsel is the controlling stockholder of the Company. The convertible note payable (the “Note”) outstanding at December 31, 2006 was held by a third party lender. As discussed below, the Note was repaid in full in January 2007. As Counsel funded the repayment, the related party note was increased at the same time. At December 31, 2006, Counsel had guaranteed the Note through its contractual maturity in October 2007, and had also subordinated its debt position and pledged its ownership interest in C2 in favor of the third party lender.

Notes payable to a related party

The related party notes payable were scheduled to mature on October 31, 2007. At December 29, 2006, the aggregate amount of the outstanding related party debt, all of which was payable to Counsel, was $83,582, including accrued and unpaid interest to that date. On December 29, 2006, C2 negotiated an agreement with Counsel under which, effective December 30, 2006, $3,386 of debt was converted into 3,847,475 common shares of C2 at a price of $0.88 per share. At the same time, the $80,196 remaining balance of the debt was forgiven by Counsel. The debt forgiveness has been recorded as a capital contribution by Counsel in the consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2006.

While any amount of the notes is outstanding, they are subject to acceleration in certain circumstances including certain events of default. Interest on related party debt accrues to principal quarterly and, accordingly, the Company has no cash payment obligations to Counsel prior to the debt’s maturity or forgiveness. Historically, advances have been made to fund operations, to finance working capital, to fund acquisitions and to pay down third party debt. Counsel, via a “Keep Well” agreement which expired on December 31, 2006, had previously agreed to fund the cash requirements of C2. Although the Keep Well has not been extended, Counsel has indicated that it will fund the Company’s minimal cash requirements until at least December 31, 2008.

At December 31, 2007 C2 was indebted to Counsel in the amount of $2,335, representing $2,151 of net advances made since the December 30, 2006 debt forgiveness, and $184 of accrued interest on those advances.

Prior to the debt forgiveness discussed above, one of the notes payable to Counsel was convertible into common stock. Throughout the term of this note, anti-dilution events impacted the conversion price and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of this debt. As well, accumulated unpaid interest costs, which were required by the terms of the debt to be added to the principal balance, were also convertible upon the same terms. These anti-dilution events and deemed “paid in kind” interest periodically resulted in the recognition of a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-27, Application of Issue 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments, in 2006 the Company recorded a BCF of $1,225 (2005 - $1,511; 2004 - $3,771) as paid-in capital. The aggregate BCF was amortized over the term of the debt, using the effective interest rate method, through a charge to the statement of operations, and was fully amortized at December 30, 2006. For further discussion of notes payable and other transactions with Counsel, see Note 2, above, and Note 13, below.

Convertible note payable to a third party

On October 14, 2004, the Company issued the Note with a detachable warrant to a third party lender, in the principal amount of $5,000, due October 14, 2007. The Note provided that the principal amount outstanding bore interest at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal plus 3% (but not less than 7% per annum) decreasing by 2% (but not to less than 0%) for every 25% increase in the Market Price (as defined therein) above the fixed conversion price following the effective date of the registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Note. Principal was payable at the rate of approximately $147 per month, in cash or, in certain circumstances, in registered common stock. In the event the monthly payment was paid in cash, the Company paid 102% of the amount due. The Company had the right to prepay the Note at any time, by giving seven business days written notice and paying 120% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note. Subsequent to December 31, 2006, in January 2007, as a result of negotiations between the Company and the third party lender, the lender converted a portion of its note into 10,000 common shares of the Company, and the Company prepaid the remaining Note in full by paying 105% of the amount then due.

The Company’s net loss on the prepayment of the Note was $293, calculated as follows:

Balance of Note owing at January 10, 2007, net of $8.8 converted to common shares

The net loss of $293 was approximately equal to the total of the interest expense and discount amortization that the Company would have incurred by holding the debt to its contractual maturity of October 14, 2007.
 
F-19


While the Note was outstanding, the third party lender had the right to convert the Note, in whole or in part, into shares of common stock at any time upon one business day’s prior written notice. The Note was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.88 per share of common stock. In accordance with FASB Standard No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock), the Company analyzed the various embedded derivative elements of the debt at inception of the Note and concluded that all of the individual elements should be characterized as debt for accounting purposes and that the embedded derivative elements had nominal value. The value of the embedded derivative elements of the debt was reassessed on a quarterly basis on a mark-to-market basis. At the end of 2006 and 2005, the Company concluded that the value of the embedded derivatives remained nominal.

In connection with the Note, the Company recorded a debt discount of $656, comprising $430 relating to the warrant allocation and $226 of financing costs to the third party lender, which was deducted from the amount advanced on closing. The debt discount was amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest method through a charge to the statement of operations.

Warrant to purchase common stock

In addition to the Note, the Company issued a common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrant”) to the third party lender, entitling the lender to purchase up to one million shares of common stock, subject to adjustment. The Warrant entitles the holder to purchase the stock through the earlier of (i) October 13, 2009 or (ii) the date on which the average closing price for any consecutive ten trading dates shall equal or exceed 15 times the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall equal $1.00 per share as to the first 250,000 shares, $1.08 per share for the next 250,000 shares and $1.20 per share for the remaining 500,000 shares. The Exercise Price is 125%, 135% and 150% of the average closing price for the ten trading days immediately prior to the date of the Warrant, respectively.

The Company filed a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to register the 6,681,818 shares issuable upon conversion of the Note as well as those issuable pursuant to the Warrant. This registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on January 18, 2005.

At the time it was issued in October 2004, the Warrant was classified as a liability in the consolidated financial statements, as it was linked to a registration payment arrangement and thus met the conditions for this classification under the GAAP in effect at that date. The details of the registration payment arrangement were previously disclosed in the Company’s Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on October 20, 2004. At the issuance of the Warrant, the Company did not expect to make any payments relating to the registration payment arrangement. The initial value assigned to the Warrant was $430. The value of the Warrant was then reassessed quarterly on a mark-to-market basis, based on the price of the Company’s common stock at the end of the quarter. The Company adjusted the value of the Warrant to $322 at the end of 2004, $281 at the end of 2005, and $203 at September 30, 2006. The Company recorded $108, $41 and $78 as income in 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively, representing the diminution in the estimated fair value of the Warrant during each of those periods.

In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements (“FSP EITF 00-19-2”). According to FSP EITF 00-19-2, financial instrument(s) such as the Warrant should be recorded in the financial statements using appropriate GAAP without regard to the contingent obligation to transfer consideration pursuant to a related registration payment arrangement, and any contingent obligations under the registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with GAAP relating to liabilities. Adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-2 is permitted for interim or annual periods for which financial statements or interim reports have not been issued. Retrospective application is not permitted. The Company evaluated the requirements of FSP EITF 00-19-2, determined that it is applicable to the Warrant, and chose to adopt FSP EITF 00-19-2 effective October 1, 2006, the beginning of the Company’s 2006 fourth quarter. The impact of adopting FSP EITF 00-19-2 on the Company’s financial position was as follows: long-term liabilities were reduced by $203, the fair value of the Warrant at October 1, 2006, and stockholders’ equity was increased by $430, the fair value of the Warrant when issued at October 14, 2004. The difference between these two amounts, $227, was recorded as a charge to opening retained earnings. At the date of adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-2, and at December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company’s assessment was that payments relating to the registration payment arrangement were not probable, and therefore the Company has not recorded any liability in connection with such a payment.

Note 10 - Commitments

At December 31, 2007, C2 has no commitments other than its debt, as described above in Note 9.
 
F-20

 
Note 11 - Patent Residual
 
In the fourth quarter of 2003, C2 acquired Patent No. 6,243,373 from a third party. Consideration provided was $100 plus a 35% residual payable to the third party relating to the net proceeds from future licensing and/or enforcement actions from the C2 VoIP Patent Portfolio (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,243,373 and 6,438,124). Net proceeds are defined as amounts collected from third parties net of the direct costs associated with putting the licensing or enforcement in place and related collection costs. To date, no payments have been required, as the relevant costs incurred have exceeded licensing revenues. As we earn patent licensing revenues, we expect that there will be proceeds that will be subject to the former owner’s 35% entitlement.

Note 12 - Income Taxes

The Company recognized a future income tax recovery of $1,000 with respect to the tax effect of available tax loss carryforwards expected to be utilized in 2008. No income tax benefit was recognized with respect to its net losses recorded in 2006 and 2005. The reported tax benefit varies from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate to the loss from continuing operations before taxes for the following reasons:

The change in the valuation allowance, including discontinued operations, was a decrease of $557 (applying FIN 48), a decrease of $21,186, and an increase of $3,123 for the years ended 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

At December 31, 2007, after the application of FIN 48 described further below, the Company had total net operating loss and net capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $88,000 and $34,000 respectively. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will utilize at least $3,000 of these tax losses against estimated future taxable income arising in 2008. The net operating loss carryforwards expire between 2024 and 2027. The net capital loss carryforwards expire in 2010 and 2011.

The Company’s utilization of approximately $35,000 of its available net operating loss carryforwards against future taxable income is restricted pursuant to the “change in ownership” rules in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and after the application of FIN 48 described further below. These rules, in general, provide that an ownership change occurs when the percentage shareholdings of 5% direct or indirect stockholders of a loss corporation have, in aggregate, increased by more than 50 percentage points during the immediately preceding three years.

Restrictions in net operating loss carryforwards occurred in 2001 as a result of the acquisition of the Company by Counsel. Further restrictions may have occurred as a result of subsequent changes in the share ownership and capital structure of the Company and Counsel and disposition of business interests by the Company. Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, annual usage of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards, prior to the sale of the Company’s Telecommunications business, was limited to approximately $6,700 per annum until 2008 and $1,700 per annum thereafter as a result of previous cumulative changes of ownership resulting in a change of control of the Company. After the completion of the sale of the Company’s Telecommunications business, the annual usage of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards is limited to approximately $2,500 per annum until 2008 and $1,700 per annum thereafter. There is no certainty that the application of these “change in ownership” rules may not recur, resulting in further restrictions on the Company’s income tax loss carry forwards existing at a particular time. In addition, further restrictions, reductions in, or expiry of net operating loss and net capital loss carryforwards may occur through future merger, acquisition and/or disposition transactions or failure to continue a significant level of business activities. Any such additional limitations could require the Company to pay income taxes on its future earnings and record an income tax expense to the extent of such liability, despite the existence of such tax loss carryforwards.

The Company is subject to state income tax in multiple jurisdictions. While the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for state income tax purposes in certain states where it previously conducted business its available state tax loss carryforwards may differ substantially by jurisdiction and, in general, are subject to the same or similar restrictions as to expiry and usage described above. In addition, in certain states the Company’s state tax loss carryforwards which were attributable to the business of WXC Corp. ceased to be available to the Company following the sale of the shares of this company in 2006. It is entirely possible that in the future, the Company may not have tax loss carryforwards available to shield income generated for state tax purposes and which is attributable to a particular state from being subject to tax in that particular state.

The Company has claimed a valuation allowance at the end of the year sufficient to reduce its net deferred tax asset to $1,000, the amount considered more likely than not to be utilized in 2008. As the Company had no expectation of generating taxable income in 2007, a full valuation allowance was provided for at December 31, 2006 to reduce the total deferred tax asset to nil.

In the first quarter of 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R). Effective December 31, 2006, as provided in FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards (“FSP 123(R)-3”), the Company elected to apply “the short cut method”, as outlined in FSP 123(R)-3, as the methodology for recognizing any related windfall tax benefits as a credit to additional paid-in capital. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) and “the short cut method” had no immediate impact from an income tax perspective, since SFAS No. 123(R) specifically prohibits the recognition of any windfall tax benefits that have not been realized in cash or in the form of a reduction of income taxes payable. The Company, to date, has not realized such benefits either in cash or in the form a of a reduction in income taxes payable due to the continued availability of net operating tax loss carryforwards. The adoption of the “short cut method” will therefore only have application in the event of the Company incurring an income tax liability at a future date.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recorded a reduction in its deferred tax asset of approximately $13,100, attributable to unrecognized tax benefits of $24,000 associated with prior years’ tax losses, which are not expected to be available primarily due to change of control usage restrictions, and a reduction in the rate of the tax benefit associated with all of its tax attributes. Due to the Company’s historic policy of applying a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, the effect of the above was an offsetting reduction in the Company’s valuation allowance. Accordingly, the above reduction had no net impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flow.

In the unlikely event that these tax benefits are recognized in the future, there should be no impact on the Company’s effective tax rate, unless recognition occurs at a time when all of the Company’s historic tax loss carryforwards have been utilized and the associated valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets has been reversed. In such circumstances, the amount recognized at that time should result in a reduction in the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Because the Company has tax loss carryforwards in excess of the unrecognized tax benefits, the Company did not accrue for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits either upon the adoption of FIN 48 or in the current period.

The following table summarizes the activity related to gross unrecognized tax benefits of the Company from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007:

(5

Increase related to current year positions

Ending unrecognized tax benefit per FIN 48

F-22


It is reasonably possible that the total amount of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. These changes may be the result of future audits, the application of “change in ownership” rules leading to further restrictions in tax losses arising from changes in the capital structure of the Company and/or that of its parent company Counsel, reductions in available tax loss carryforwards through future merger, acquisition and/or disposition transactions, failure to continue a significant level of business activities or other circumstances not known to management at this time. At this time, an estimate of the range of reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made.

The Company has a history of generating tax losses arising from 1991 to the present. All loss taxation years remain open for audit pending their application against income in a subsequent taxation year. In general, the statute of limitations expires 3 years from the date that a Company files a tax return applying prior year tax loss carryforwards against income in the later year. In 2006, the Company applied historic tax loss carryforwards against debt forgiveness income. Accordingly, the 2004 through 2007 taxation years remain open.

Note 13 - Transactions with Controlling Stockholder

Transactions with Counsel

At December 31, 2007, C2 was indebted to Counsel in the aggregate amount of $2,335, including accrued and unpaid interest to that date. The details of the individual notes comprising the balance are presented below.

Collateralized Promissory Note and Loan Agreement

During the fourth quarter of 2003, Counsel advanced the sum of $5,600 to C2, evidenced by a promissory note. In January 2004, C2 and Counsel entered into a loan agreement and an amended and restated promissory note pursuant to which an additional $2,000 was loaned to C2 and pursuant to which additional periodic loans were made from time to time (collectively and as amended, the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note accrues interest at 10% per annum compounded quarterly from the date funds are advanced. The loan has been amended several times and the maturity date of the loan plus accrued interest has been extended to December 31, 2008. The Promissory Note is secured by the assets of the Company and is subject to certain events of default which may accelerate the repayment of principal plus accrued interest. There are no conversion features associated with the Promissory Note. The loan increased primarily due to operating advances in 2004, 2005 and 2006 and the outstanding balance at December 29, 2006 (including principal and accrued interest), prior to the December 30, 2006 debt forgiveness by Counsel, was $41,897. At December 31, 2006 C2 was indebted to Counsel in the amount of $6, representing C2 expenses paid by Counsel on behalf of C2 that had not been recorded in C2’s accounts prior to the debt forgiveness. At December 31, 2007 C2 was indebted to Counsel in the amount of $2,288 due to Counsel funding the Company’s ongoing cash requirements net of the Company’s repayment of $1,000 from the proceeds of the AccessLine preferred share redemption discussed in Note 5.

Secured Loan to C2

To fund the acquisition of the WorldxChange Communications, Inc. assets and operations on June 4, 2001, Counsel provided a loan (the “Initial Loan”) to C2 in the aggregate amount of $15,000. On October 1, 2003 Counsel assigned the balance owed in connection with the Initial Loan of $9,743, including accrued interest (“the Assigned Loan”), to C2 in exchange for a new loan bearing interest at 10% per annum compounded quarterly and payable on maturity of the loan (“the New Loan”). Consistent with the terms of the Initial Loan, subject to certain conditions, the New Loan provides for certain mandatory prepayments upon written notice from Counsel including an event resulting in the issuance of new shares by C2 to a party unrelated to Counsel where the funds were not used for an approved expanded business plan, the purchase of the Company’s accounts receivable by a third party or where C2 sells material assets in excess of cash proceeds of $1,000, and certain other events. The New Loan is subject to certain events of default which accelerate the repayment of principal plus accrued interest. It has been amended several times and the maturity date of the loan plus accrued interest has been extended to December 31, 2008. There are no conversion features associated with the New Loan. As of December 29, 2006, the total outstanding debt under the New Loan (including principal and accrued interest), prior to the December 30, 2006 debt forgiveness by Counsel, was $13,428. During 2007, Counsel advanced $145 and accrued interest of $2 and the Company repaid $100 from the proceeds of the MyTrade.com, Inc. sale discussed in Note 5; therefore, total outstanding debt under the New Loan was $47 at December 31, 2007.

Initial Acquisition of C2 and Senior Convertible Loan

On March 1, 2001, C2 entered into a Senior Convertible Loan and Security Agreement, (the “Senior Loan Agreement”) with Counsel. Pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Senior Loan Agreement, Counsel agreed to make periodic loans to C2 in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $10,000, which was subsequently increased to $12,000 through amendment on May 8, 2001.
 
F-23



The Senior Loan Agreement was amended several times and the maturity date of the loan plus accrued interest was extended to October 31, 2007. As a result of the application of the anti-dilution provisions of the Senior Loan Agreement, the conversion price was adjusted to $5.02 per common share. At December 29, 2006, prior to the December 30, 2006 debt forgiveness by Counsel, the total outstanding debt under the Senior Loan Agreement (including principal and accrued interest) was $19,966 which was convertible into approximately 3,977,208 shares of common stock. There have been no further advances under this loan since the debt was forgiven.

Assignment of Winter Harbor Common Stock and Debt Interests

Pursuant to the terms of a settlement between Counsel and Winter Harbor and First Media L.P., a limited partnership and the parent company of Winter Harbor (collectively, the “Winter Harbor Parties”), effective August 29, 2003, the Winter Harbor Parties relinquished their right to 118,750 shares of the common stock of C2 to Counsel. The Winter Harbor Parties further assigned to Counsel all of their rights with respect to a note payable by C2 of $1,999 drawn down pursuant to a Letter of Credit issued November 3, 1998 to secure certain obligations of C2 together with any accrued interest thereon. The assigned amount together with accrued interest amounted to $2,577 on August 29, 2003. As a result of the settlement and assignment, C2 entered into a new loan agreement with Counsel the terms of which provided that from August 29, 2003 the loan balance of $2,577 would bear interest at 10% per annum compounded quarterly with the aggregate balance of principal and accrued interest payable on maturity of the loan. This loan agreement was amended and restated several times to allow for the making of further periodic advances and to extend the maturity date to October 31, 2007. There were no conversion features associated with this loan. As of December 29, 2006, prior to the December 30, 2006 debt forgiveness by Counsel, the total outstanding debt under the loan (including principal and accrued interest) was $8,291. There have been no further advances under this loan since the debt was forgiven.

Counsel Guarantee, Subordination and Stock Pledge

In October 2004, Counsel agreed to guarantee the debt that the Company owed to its third party lender, and also agreed to subordinate all of its debt owed by the Company, and to subrogate all of its related security interests, in favor of the third party lender. Counsel further agreed to pledge all of its shares owned in C2 as security for its guarantee. In accordance with these agreements, amounts owing to Counsel could not be repaid while amounts remained owing to the third party lender. In January 2007, when the debt owing to the third party lender was prepaid in full, the subordination , subrogation and guarantee agreements were terminated.

As discussed in Note 5 of these consolidated financial statements, with respect to the Company’s investment in LIMOS.com in the third quarter of 2007, all investors in LIMOS.com have pledged their ownership interests as security for a $2,500 loan entered into by LIMOS.com and a third party lender (the “Lender”). The Company’s majority stockholder, Counsel, has guaranteed $250 of the Loan on the Company’s behalf. Contemporaneously with the Company’s investment in LIMOS.com and Counsel’s guaranty, Counsel and the Lender entered into a Priorities Agreement. Under the terms of the Promissory Note, which is discussed in more detail in Note 2 and Note 9, the Company had pledged all of its assets to Counsel as security for the Promissory Note. The Priorities Agreement subordinates Counsel’s claim to the Company’s investment in LIMOS.com in favor of the Lender.

Counsel Management Services

In December 2004, C2 entered into a management services agreement (the “Agreement”) with Counsel. Under the terms of the Agreement, C2 agreed to make payment to Counsel for the past and future services to be provided by certain Counsel personnel to C2 for each of 2004 and 2005. In March 2006 C2 entered into a similar agreement with Counsel for services to be provided in 2006. The basis for such services charged was an allocation, based on time incurred, of the cost of the base compensation paid by Counsel to those employees providing services to C2. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, the cost of such services was $280 and $450, respectively. The cost for 2006 was $225, reflecting the reduced complexity of C2 operations following the sale of the Telecommunications business. The foregoing fees for 2004, 2005 and 2006 were due and payable within 30 days following the respective year ends, subject to any subordination restrictions then in effect. Any unpaid fee amounts bore interest at 10% per annum commencing on the day after such year-end, and in the event of a change of control, merger or similar event of the Company, all amounts owing, including fees incurred up to the date of the event, would have become due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such event, subject to any subordination restrictions then in effect. The fees for 2004, 2005 and 2006 were forgiven on December 30, 2006 as part of Counsel’s forgiveness of its outstanding debt from C2, as discussed above. In accordance with the agreement with the Company’s third party lender, amounts owing to Counsel at December 31, 2006 could not be repaid while amounts remained owing to the third party lender. The repayment in full of the third party debt in January 2007 removed this restriction on payments to Counsel. In May 2007, the Company and Counsel entered into a similar agreement for services provided during 2007, and the cost for 2007 was $225. The Company expects that Counsel will continue to provide these services in 2008 on the same cost basis.

Note 14 - Legal Proceedings

On April 16, 2004, certain stockholders of the Company (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a putative derivative complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of San Diego, (the “Complaint”) against the Company, WorldxChange Corporation (sic), Counsel Communications LLC, and Counsel Corporation as well as four present and former officers and directors of the Company, some of whom also are or were directors and/or officers of the other corporate defendants (collectively, the “Defendants”). The Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Defendants, in their respective roles as controlling stockholder and directors and officers of the Company committed breaches of the fiduciary duties of care, loyalty and good faith and were unjustly enriched, and that the individual Defendants committed waste of corporate assets, abuse of control and gross mismanagement. The Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, restitution, disgorgement of allegedly unlawful profits, benefits and other compensation, attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with the Complaint. The Company believes that these claims are without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend this action. Although there is no certainty that this matter will be resolved in the Company’s favor, at this time the Company does not believe that the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

The Company, Counsel Communications LLC, Counsel Corporation and four of its current and former executives and board members were named in a securities action filed in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of San Diego (the “Court”) on April 16, 2004, in which the plaintiffs made claims nearly identical to those set forth in the Complaint in the derivative suit described above. The Company believes that these claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend this action. Although there is no certainty that this matter will be resolved in the Company’s favor, at this time the Company does not believe that the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial position or liquidity. In February 2006, the plaintiffs in both this action and the derivative action described above changed attorneys. On July 31, 2007, the trial date for both actions was moved to June 6, 2008.

At our Adjourned Meeting of Stockholders held on December 30, 2003, our stockholders, among other things, approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, deleting Article VI thereof (regarding liquidations, reorganizations, mergers and the like). Stockholders who were entitled to vote at the meeting and advised us in writing, prior to the vote on the amendment, that they dissented and intended to demand payment for their shares if the amendment was effectuated, were entitled to exercise their appraisal rights and obtain payment in cash for their shares under Sections 607.1301 - 607.1333 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “Florida Act”), provided their shares were not voted in favor of the amendment. In January 2004, we sent appraisal notices in compliance with Florida corporate statutes to all stockholders who had advised us of their intention to exercise their appraisal rights. The appraisal notices included our estimate of fair value of our shares, at $4.00 per share on a post-split basis. These stockholders had until February 29, 2004 to return their completed appraisal notices along with certificates for the shares for which they were exercising their appraisal rights. Approximately 33 stockholders holding approximately 74,000 shares of our stock returned completed appraisal notices by February 29, 2004. A stockholder of 20 shares notified us of his acceptance of our offer of $4.00 per share, while the stockholders of the remaining shares did not accept our offer. Subject to the qualification that, in accordance with the Florida Act, we may not make any payment to a stockholder seeking appraisal rights if, at the time of payment, our total assets are less than our total liabilities, stockholders who accepted our offer to purchase their shares at the estimated fair value will be paid for their shares within 90 days of our receipt of a duly executed appraisal notice. If we should be required to make any payments to dissenting stockholders, Counsel will fund any such amounts through advances to C2. Stockholders who did not accept our offer were required to indicate their own estimate of fair value, and if we do not agree with such estimates, the parties are required to go to court for an appraisal proceeding on an individual basis, in order to establish fair value. Because we did not agree with the estimates submitted by most of the dissenting stockholders, we have sought a judicial determination of the fair value of the common stock held by the dissenting stockholders. On June 24, 2004, we filed suit against the dissenting stockholders seeking a declaratory judgment, appraisal and other relief in the Circuit Court for the 17th Judicial District in Broward County, Florida. On February 4, 2005, the declaratory judgment action was stayed pending the resolution of the direct and derivative lawsuits filed in California. This decision was made by the judge in the Florida declaratory judgment action due to the similar nature of certain allegations brought by the defendants in the declaratory judgment matter and the California lawsuits described above. On March 7, 2005, the dissenting shareholders appealed the decision of the District Court judge to the Fourth District Court of Appeals for the State of Florida, which denied the appeal on June 21, 2005. When the declaratory judgment matter resumes, there is no assurance that this matter will be resolved in our favor and an unfavorable outcome of this matter could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

In connection with the Company’s efforts to enforce its patent rights, C2 Communications Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against AT&T, Inc., Verizon Communications, Inc., Qwest Communications International, Inc., Bellsouth Corporation, Sprint Nextel Corporation, Global Crossing Limited, and Level 3 Communications, Inc. The complaint was filed in the Marshall Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on June 15, 2006. The complaint alleges that these companies’ VoIP services and systems infringe the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 6,243,373, entitled “Method and Apparatus for Implementing a Computer Network/Internet Telephone System”. The complaint seeks an injunction, monetary damages and costs. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in this litigation. In February 2008, the Company settled the complaints against AT&T and Verizon by entering into settlement and license agreements.

The Company is involved in various other legal matters arising out of its operations in the normal course of business, none of which are expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Note 15 - Class N Preferred Stock

Each Class N preferred share has a voting entitlement equal to 40 common shares, votes with the common stock on an as-converted basis and is senior to all other preferred stock of the Company. Dividends, if any, will be paid on an as-converted basis equal to common stock dividends. The value of each Class N preferred share is $1,000, and each share is convertible to 40 common shares at the rate of $25 per common share.

During 2007, holders of the Class N preferred stock converted four of those shares into 160 shares of common stock. During 2006, six of those shares were converted into 240 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, there were, respectively, 607 and 611 shares of Class N preferred stock issued and outstanding.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, of the 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, 9,486,500 remain undesignated and unissued.

Note 16 - Stock-Based Compensation

Stock- Based Compensation Plans

At December 31, 2007, the Company has five stock-based compensation plans, which are described below.

1995 Director Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan

The 1995 Director Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan (the “1995 Director Plan”) provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to directors of the Company up to 12,500 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, and other similar events). If any incentive option, non-qualified option or SAR terminates prior to exercise thereof and during the duration of the 1995 Director Plan, the shares of common stock as to which such option or right was not exercised will become available under the 1995 Director Plan for the grant of additional options or rights to any eligible director. Each option is immediately exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant. The Company has 12,500 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 1995 Director Plan. No options were granted or exercised under this plan in 2007 and 2006. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, no options to purchase shares were outstanding. In 2007, no options expired (2006 - 7,500).

1995 Employee Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan

The 1995 Employee Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan (the “1995 Employee Plan”) provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, and SARs. Directors of the Company are not eligible to participate in the 1995 Employee Plan. The 1995 Employee Plan provides for the grant of stock options, which qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, to be issued to officers who are employees and other employees, as well as for the grant of non-qualified options to be issued to officers, employees and consultants. In addition, SARs may be granted in conjunction with the grant of incentive and non-qualified options.

The 1995 Employee Plan provides for the grant of incentive options, non-qualified options and SARs of up to 20,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, and other similar events). To the extent that an incentive option or non-qualified option is not exercised within the period of exercisability specified therein, it will expire as to the then unexercisable portion. If any incentive option, non-qualified option or SAR terminates prior to exercise thereof and during the duration of the 1995 Employee Plan, the shares of common stock as to which such option or right was not exercised will become available under the 1995 Employee Plan for the grant of additional options or rights to any eligible employee. The shares of common stock subject to the 1995 Employee Plan may be made available from either authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares or both. The Company has 20,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 1995 Employee Plan. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, there were no options outstanding under the 1995 Employee Plan. No options were granted or exercised in 2007 or 2006 under the 1995 Employee Plan.

1997 Recruitment Stock Option Plan

In October 2000, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment of the 1997 Recruitment Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”)which provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and SARs up to an aggregate of 370,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, and other similar events). The price at which shares of common stock covered by the option can be purchased is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors; however in all instances the exercise price is never less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option is granted.

As of December 31, 2007, there were options to purchase 238,611 shares (2006 - 239,611 shares) of the Company’s common stock outstanding under the 1997 Plan. 168,750 of these options were unvested at December 31, 2007, and will vest between 2008 and 2010 at an exercise price of $0.66 per share. 56,250 options with an exercise price of $0.66 per share were vested at December 31, 2007 (no vested options at December 31, 2006). 13,611 options with exercise prices of $1.40 to $111.26 per share were vested at December 31, 2007 (2006 - 14,611 options with exercise prices of $1.40 to $111.26 per share). The options with an exercise price of $0.66 must be exercised within seven years of grant date and can only be exercised while the option holder is an employee of the Company. The remaining options must be exercised within ten years of grant date and can only be exercised while the option holder is an employee of the Company. The Company has not awarded any SARs under the 1997 Plan. During 2007, no options to purchase shares of common stock were issued, and 1,000 options expired. During 2006, 225,000 options to purchase shares of common stock were issued, and no options were forfeited or expired. There were no exercises during 2007 or 2006.

2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

During 2000, the Company obtained approval from its stockholders to establish the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Stock Purchase Plan provides for the purchase of common stock, in the aggregate, up to 125,000 shares. This plan allows all eligible employees of the Company to have payroll withholding of 1 to 15 percent of their wages. The amounts withheld during a calendar quarter are then used to purchase common stock at a 15 percent discount off the lower of the closing sale price of the Company’s stock on the first or last day of each quarter. This plan was approved by the Board of Directors, subject to stockholder approval, and was effective beginning the third quarter of 2000. The Company issued 1,726 shares to employees based upon payroll withholdings during 2001. There have been no issuances since 2001.

The purpose of the Stock Purchase Plan is to provide incentives for all eligible employees of C2 (or any of its subsidiaries) who have been employees for at least three months, to participate in stock ownership of C2 by acquiring or increasing their proprietary interest in C2. The Stock Purchase Plan is designed to encourage employees to remain in the employ of C2. It is the intention of C2 to have the Stock Purchase Plan qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, to issue shares of common stock to all eligible employees of C2 (or any of C2’s subsidiaries) who have been employees for at least three months.

2003 Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan

In November 2003, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2003 Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan (the “2003 Plan”) which provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and SARs up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, and other similar events). The price at which shares of common stock covered by the option can be purchased is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof; however, in the case of incentive stock options the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option is granted. As of December 31, 2007, there were options to purchase 598,250 shares (2006 - 568,250 shares) of the Company’s common stock outstanding under the 2003 Plan. The outstanding options vest over four years at exercise prices ranging from $0.51 to $3.00 per share. During 2007, 30,000 options (2006 - 230,000 options) were granted. During 2007 and 2006, no options to purchase shares of common stock were forfeited or expired. There were no options exercised during 2007 and 2006, and no SARs have been issued under the 2003 Plan.

Other options

In 1996, the Company approved the issuance of 87,500 options to executives of the Company, as part of their employment agreements, and 3,200 options to a consultant. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, none of these options remained outstanding. During 2006, 78,200 options with an exercise price of $78.00 expired.

During 1997 and 2001, the Company issued options to purchase 60,500 shares of common stock (10,500 of which were issued under the 1997 recruitment stock option plan) to consultants at exercise prices ranging from $97.50 to $168.75 (repriced to $78.00 on December 13, 1998), which was based on the closing price of the stock at the grant date. During 2007, 43,667 options expired, and none were exercised or forfeited. No options expired, and none were exercised or forfeited during 2006. The remaining options must be exercised within ten years of the grant date. As of December 31, 2007 there remained 833 options outstanding.
 
F-27


During 1997, the Company issued non-qualified options to purchase 114,750 shares of common stock to certain executive employees. The options must be exercised within ten years of the grant date and have an exercise price of $78.00. During 2007, the remaining 105,915 options expired and there were therefore no options outstanding at December 31, 2007. There were no options exercised or forfeited in 2007 or 2006, and no options expired during 2006.

During 1998, the Company issued non-qualified options to purchase 46,750 shares of common stock to certain executive employees at exercise prices ranging from $51.26 to $62.50, which price was based on the closing price of the stock at the grant date. The options must be exercised within ten years of the grant date. No options expired, were exercised or forfeited during 2007 or 2006. As of December 31, 2007 there remained 40,472 options outstanding.

During 1999, the Company issued non-qualified options to purchase 32,750 shares of common stock to certain executive employees at exercise prices ranging from $50.00 to $71.26, which price was based on the closing price of the stock at the grant date. The options must be exercised within ten years of the grant date. No options expired, were exercised or forfeited during 2007 or 2006. As of December 31, 2007, there remained 18,750 options outstanding.

During 1999, the Company issued non-qualified options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock to a consultant at an exercise price of $60.00, which was based on the closing price of the stock at the grant date. No options expired, were exercised or forfeited during 2007 or 2006. The fair value of the options issued was recorded as deferred compensation of $300,000, which was amortized over the expected period the services were to be provided. The options must be exercised within ten years of the grant date. As of December 31, 2007 there remained 10,000 options outstanding.

During 2000, the Company issued non-qualified options to purchase 129,250 shares of common stock to certain executive employees at exercise prices ranging from $55.00 to $127.50, which price was based on the closing price of the stock at the grant date. The options must be exercised within ten years of the grant date. No options expired, were exercised or forfeited during 2007 or 2006. As of December 31, 2007, there remained 68,833 options outstanding.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision (“SFAS No. 123(R)”) to SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS No. 123”), and the Company was required to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB No. 25”), and related Interpretations, and requires that all stock-based compensation, including options, be expensed at fair value, as of the grant date, over the vesting period. Companies are required to use an option pricing model (e.g.: Black-Scholes or Binomial) to determine compensation expense, consistent with the model previously used in the already required disclosures of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) on the Company’s financial position, operations and cash flow is discussed below.
 
F-28

 
The Company’s stock-based compensation plans are described above. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB No. 25, under which stock-based employee compensation cost was not reflected in net loss, as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company provided footnote disclosure of the pro forma stock-based compensation cost, net loss and net loss per share as if the fair-value based method of expense recognition and measurement prescribed by SFAS No. 123 had been applied to all employee options.
 
The table below illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to options granted under the Company’s stock option plans in the year ended December 31, 2005:.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 81%, risk free rates ranging from 3.73% to 3.75%, an expected life of four years, and a dividend yield of zero.
 
As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, C2’s net loss for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 is $166 and $139, respectively, more than it would have been if the Company had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB No. 25. Basic and diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was increased by $0.01 and $0.01, respectively. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) had no effect on the Company’s Statement of Cash Flows, as there were no exercises of stock options during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and therefore no stock option-related cash flows were generated.
 
The fair value compensation cost of unvested stock options in 2007 and 2006 were determined using historical Black-Scholes input information at grant dates between 2003 and 2007. These inputs included expected volatility between 79% and 98%, risk-free interest rates between 3.12% and 5.07%, expected terms of 4.75 years, and an expected dividend yield of zero.
 
As of December 31, 2007, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options was $176, which is expected to be recognized over 14 months, as compared to $328 and approximately 16 months as of December 31, 2006.
 
In April 2007, 30,000 options were granted to the Company’s non-employee directors under the terms of the 2003 Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan. No options were forfeited or exercised during the year ending December 31, 2007. However; 1,000 options under the 1997 Recruitment Stock Option Plan, and 149,582 executive options awarded in 1997, expired during the year ending December 31, 2007.
 
As of December 31, 2007, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding was $0, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $0.31 on December 31, 2007. Intrinsic value is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the options.
