NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2010

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows:

General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. However, the results from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended March 31, 2011. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated March 31, 2010 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Business and Basis of Presentation

Global Investor Services, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on August 10, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On September 16, 2006, the Company changed its name to TheRetirementSolution.Com, Inc. and on October 1, 2008 to Global Investor Services, Inc. The Company currently markets directly and through its marketing partners as well as online, certain investor products and services that provide financial and educational information to its prospective customers and to its subscribers. During the year ended March 31, 2008, the Company transitioned from a development stage enterprise to an operating company. While the Company has generated revenues from its sale of products, the Company has incurred expenses, and sustained losses. Consequently, its operations were subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has accumulated losses of $60,826,231.

On August 30, 2006, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Voxpath Holdings, Inc. (“Voxpath”). Prior to the merger, Voxpath was an inactive corporation with no significant assets or liabilities. As a result of the Agreement, there was a change in control of the public entity. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, Voxpath was the acquiring entity. While the transaction is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, in substance the Agreement is a recapitalization of Voxpath’s capital structure. For accounting purposes, the Company accounted for the transaction as a reverse acquisition and Voxpath is the surviving entity. The value of the net assets acquired was $0. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the transaction. Effective with the Agreement, all previously outstanding shares of common stock were exchanged for an aggregate of 99,999,998 shares of the Company’s common stock. The value of the stock issued was the historical cost of the Company’s net tangible assets, which did not differ materially from their fair value. The total consideration paid was $86,135.

During the year ended March 31, 2008, the Company acquired Investment Tools and Training, LLC (“ITT); a Utah limited liability company founded on November 9, 2006 and Razor Data, LLC (“Razor”); a Utah Limited Liability Company formed July 23, 2002.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Voxpath Holdings, Inc., ITT and Razor. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

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

Revenue Recognition

For revenue from product sales and services, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

Revenue arises from subscriptions to the websites/software, workshops, online workshops and training and coaching/counseling services where the payments are received before the service has been rendered. Beginning January 1, 2009, the company changed its marketing strategy such that the company no longer collects revenues in advance of rendering services.  Instead, for all new customers, a monthly subscription fee is received for access to the online training and courses and website/data during a given month.  As all the products and services are delivered during the month, the revenues are recognized in the month it is delivered.   All revenues collected in prior periods from the legacy marketing strategy are deferred and recognized as per the existing revenue recognition policy. Additionally, any revenues from services such as coaching/counseling that are sold in advance of delivery will be deferred using the existing revenue recognition policy. Thus we have two distinct revenue models that were used during FY 2009 and revenue under either model will be recognized under its appropriate model. The company reserves the option to operate under either model as the business environment dictates.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue Recognition (continued)

 We sell our products separately and in various bundles that contain multiple deliverables that include website/data subscriptions, educational workshops, online workshops and training, one-on-one coaching and counseling sessions, along with other products and services. In accordance with ASC 605-25, sales arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into separate units of accounting if the deliverables in the arrangement meet the following criteria: (i) the product has value to the customer on a standalone basis; (ii) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items; and (iii) delivery or performances of any undelivered item is probable and substantially in our control. The fair value of each separate element is generally determined by prices charged when sold separately. In certain arrangements, we offer these products bundled together.  If there is any discount from the combined fair value of the individual elements, the discount is allocated to the portion of the revenues that is attributed to the online courses and training. As per ASC 605-25, if fair value of all undelivered elements in an arrangement exists, but fair value does not exist for a delivered element, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee (after allocation of 100 percent of any discount to the delivered item) is recognized as revenue.  The deferral policy for each of the different types of revenues is summarized as follows: 
 
Product
 
Recognition Policy
Live Workshops and Workshop Certificates
 
Deferred and recognized as the workshop is provided or certificate expires
     
Online training and courses
 
Deferred and recognized a.) as the services are delivered, or b.) when usage thresholds are met, or c.) on a straight-line basis over the initial product period
     
Coaching/Counseling services
 
Deferred and recognized as services are delivered, or on a straight-line basis over the life of the customer’s contract
     
Website/data fees (monthly)
 
Not Deferred, recognized in the month delivered
     
Website/data fees (pre-paid subscriptions)
 
Deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the subscription period

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Office equipment
 
5 years
Software
 
3 to 7 years

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $416,264 and $20,231 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Research and Development

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s expenditures on research and product development were immaterial.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year’s financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805-10.  The Company assigns to all identifiable assets acquired (including intangible assets), and to all identifiable liabilities assumed, a portion of the cost of the acquired company equal to the estimated fair value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. The Company records the excess of the cost of the acquired company over the sum of the amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed, if any, as goodwill.

As a result of the acquisitions of ITT and Razor on January 15, 2008, the Company acquired intangible assets in the aggregate amount of $30,652,920.

The Company allocated $2,920,000 and $499,747 to identifiable intangible assets including a developed software and customer lists, respectively. The remaining $27,233,173 was allocated to goodwill.

The Company amortized its identifiable intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit.  The estimated useful lives of the developed software and the customer lists are three and six years. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets and takes into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or indicate that impairment exists.

The Company accounts for and reports acquired goodwill and other intangible assets under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 350-10, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350-10”). In accordance with ASC 350-10, the Company tests its intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and when there is reason to suspect that their values have been diminished or impaired. Any write-downs will be included in results from operations.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment of long lived assets

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of is reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2010 and 2009. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company periodically reviews its trade receivables in determining its allowance for doubtful accounts. There were no trade receivables as of June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010.

Website Development Costs

The Company recognizes website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 350-50, Website Development Costs ("ASC 350-50”). As such, the Company expenses all costs incurred that relate to the planning and post implementation phases of development of its website. Direct costs incurred in the development phase are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life. Costs associated with repair or maintenance for the website is included in cost of net revenues in the current period expenses. Three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not capitalize any costs associated with the website development.

Software Development Costs

The Company accounts for software development costs intended for sale in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 985-20, Cost of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed (“ASC 985-20”). ASC 985-20 requires product development costs to be charged to expense as incurred until technological feasibility is attained and all other research and development activities for the hardware components of the product have been completed. Technological feasibility is attained when the planning, design and testing phase related to the development of the Company’s software has been completed and the software has been determined viable for its intended use, which typically occurs when beta testing commences.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors key consultants including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to an Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on the estimated fair values.   
 
The company adopted ASC 718-10 using the modified prospective transition method, which required the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the company's Financial Statements for the prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include the impact of ASC 718-10. Stock based compensation expense recognized under ASC 718-10 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $131,335 and $425,282.

For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not grant stock options to employees. The fair value of options granted in previous years vesting during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 of $32,358 and $172,299 respectively was recorded as a current period charge to earnings.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Income Taxes

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant. The adoption of ASC 740-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

The primary components of the differences between the book losses and the tax NOL are timing differences which primarily include stock compensation and other equity-related non-cash charges, debt discount amortization and certain accruals.

Net Loss per Share

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”) specifying the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic loss per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Convertible debt, stock options and warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalents in the diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive on the computation.

Reliance on Key Personnel and Consultants
 
The Company has only 24 full-time employees and no part-time employees.  Additionally, there are approximately 6 consultants performing various specialized services.  The Company is heavily dependent on the continued active participation of these current executive officers, employees and key consultants. The loss of any of the senior management or key consultants could significantly and negatively impact the business until adequate replacements can be identified and put in place.
 
Recent accounting pronouncements

In April 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17 (ASU 2010-17), Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. The amendments in this Update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity should apply the amendments retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-17 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)


In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-09 (ASU 2010-09), "Subsequent Events (Topic 855)."  The amendments remove the requirements for an SEC filer to disclose a date, in both issued and revised financial statements, through which subsequent events have been reviewed.  Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. GAAP.  ASU 2010-09 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2010.  The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-09 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company

There were various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2. GOING CONCERN MATTERS

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $60,826,231 at June 30, 2010 which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional capital and upon the Company’s attaining profitable operations. The Company will require a substantial amount of additional funds to complete the development of its products, to build a sales and marketing organization, and to fund additional losses which the Company expects to incur over the next few years. The management of the Company intends to seek additional funding through a Private Placement Offering which will be utilized to fund product development and continue operations. The Company recognizes that, if it is unable to raise additional capital, it may find it necessary to substantially reduce or cease operations.

On March 31, 2010, warrants of 15,491,219 were issued in connection with the issuance of Convertible Promissory Notes. The warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. The warrants were valued using the Black Sholes option pricing method with the following assumptions: dividend yield $-0-, volatility of 154.17% and risk free rate of 2.55.

15.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

15.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (continued)

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Upon adoption of ASC 825-10, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings and no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (Including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.

Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying consolidated financial statements consisted of the cash, other current assets, warrant liability, reset and debt derivative liabilities. Convertible notes were determined at a net discount rate of 2% per annum for the terms of the notes:

Background

The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 1, 2005. On August 30, 2006, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Voxpath Holdings, Inc. (“Voxpath”). Prior to the merger, Voxpath was an inactive corporation with no significant assets and liabilities.  On September 16, 2006, the Company changed its name to TheRetirementSolution.Com, Inc.  Effective October 1, 2008, the Company changed its name to Global Investor Services, Inc.

The Company currently markets directly and through its marketing partners as well as online, certain investor products and services that provide financial and educational information to its prospective customers and to its subscribers. During the year ended March 31, 2008, the Company transitioned from a development stage enterprise to an operating company.

On January 15, 2008, the Company completed the purchase of all the outstanding membership interests of ITT. The total purchase price was $18,650,000, consisting of an aggregate of 66,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and the issuance of convertible promissory notes of $2,000,000. On January 15, 2008, the Company completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Razor Data and assumed specified liabilities. The total purchase price was $12,500,000, consisting of an aggregate of 38,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and the issuance of convertible promissory notes of $3,000,000. 
 
Plan of Operations
 
The Company is executing its marketing strategy through direct-to-market campaigns with its marketing partners and through the internet where it delivers investor products and services. The Company’s target market is comprised of a large base of entry level investors, active investors in the on-line brokerage sector and higher-end users of financial information, services and financial news.

The Company’s marketing strategy is designed to grow the business and to deliver high customer value in education and investor services at the lowest possible cost. These goals will be achieved through on-line customer acquisition, product sales and customer service, and on-line education and services delivery.
 
37

 
Customer acquisition is realized via the company’s marketing partners and through on-line marketing. Our partners have the marketing and operations capability to attract customers by way of low cost introductory courses and products which then allows for upsell opportunities to a complete on-line education curriculum and expanded investor services. Customer service is supported by a comprehensive client management system that tracks the customer throughout the purchase, education and added services cycle which also includes live data feeds, news and investment letters.

On-line education delivery is completed starting with early stage courses through a complete curriculum of learning modules, podcasts, webinars and webisodes. In addition, our customer management system follows every student at this level in the form of surveys, competency assessments, learning assignments, hotline, coaching and mentoring.

The Company has a number of different delivery formats that is focused on a structured investing methodology that focuses on searching for an investment, industry group analysis, fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and portfolio management. The objective is to provide a complete investor education experience for both beginning and experienced investors and to help them better understand the investment decision process.

The company’s longer term goals include the expansion to other markets beyond the United States. The comprehensive investor education curriculum and related investor services will be marketed and delivered on-line in target markets principally via joint venture arrangements in other countries.

Investor Information Services

The Company provides a complete turnkey solution to its clients in the financial community by providing a broad array of information services that include stock market information and tools, comprehensive database creation and management, distributed web hosting and network environments, and complete e-content creation, management and delivery.

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $333,606 which represented a $58,024 increase from revenue of $275,582 for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  The increase in revenue was due to the initiation of significant online marketing campaigns that began in April 2010 and continued through the quarter.
 
Our revenue model has been transformed from a single point-of-sale event to a recurring revenue stream via subscriptions. By eliminating both the high cost event based marketing model and the high logistics costs of supporting live events, our operating margins are expected to be substantially higher.  This on-line offering reduces the up-front customer cost, produces higher buyer conversion rates, increases retention rates and further increases customer value since we give immediate full access to all our products and services.

Having completed the conversion to full online capability, the Company began funding increased marketing expense to execute our online customer campaigns in April 2010 and we continue to see positive consumer response through June 2010. The campaigns are continuing along with new online webinar initiatives and we look forward to building on what we believe is a robust online business system.

Cost of sales:

Cost of sales for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 was $177,765 (53.1% of sales) as compared to $257,929 (93.6% of sales) for the same period last year.  The primary reason for this decrease was the transition to our online business model.  Our gross profit was $155,841 as compared to $17,653 for same period last year.  The primary reason for the improved margins is from this transition.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, we issued convertible promissory notes and related warrants that contain certain reset provisions and during the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we issued a convertible promissory note with an embedded derivative, all requiring us to fair value both the warrants and the derivatives each reporting period and mark to market as a non cash adjustment to our current period operations.    This resulted in a loss to our current period operations of $1,544,679.

Our net interest and other increased from $236,166 to $1,095,059 primarily due to write offs of unamortized debt discounts for convertible notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficit of $5,171,719. The Company generated a deficit in cash flow from operating activities of $638,504 for the three month period June 30, 2010. This deficit is primarily attributable to the Company's net loss from operations of $4,042,159 and is partially offset by following:

·   
a charge for the value of options issued for services of $32,357,
·   
amortization of debt discount relating to convertible notes payable $949,826,
·   
stock issued for services of $157,500,
·   
amortization and depreciation expense of $234,111,
·   
change in fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities of $1,544,680 and
·   
changes in the balances of current assets and liabilities.
·   
amortization of prepaid expenses $98,978

Deferred costs and other current assets decreased by $736. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $371,841 and deferred revenue increased by $13,626.

The Company did not generate any cash flow from investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

The Company’s generated a cash flow from financing activities for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 through proceeds from borrowing on convertible promissory notes of $50,000 and with related party advances of $628,500.

While we have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past, additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow deficits from operations and development. We are seeking financing, which may take the form of debt, convertible debt or equity, in order to provide the necessary working capital. There can be no assurance that future financings will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available to us on acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue our operations.

We estimate that during the next twelve months we will need approximately $1,000,000 in additional capital to fully implement our business plan. Our business plan encompasses investing behind our business development strategy, our marketing campaigns and in building our business operations. As of the date of this filing, we have minimal operating capital to continue our business and marketing initiatives for the next twelve months. If we are not successful in generating sufficient cash flow from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources to finance our growth, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, we will have to adjust our planned operations and development on a more limited scale and, ultimately, may cease to continue our business.
 
Going Concern Matters

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $60,826,231 at June 30, 2010 which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional capital and upon the Company’s attaining profitable operations. The Company will require a substantial amount of additional funds to complete the development of its products, to build a sales and marketing organization, and to fund additional losses which the Company expects to incur over the next few years. The management of the Company intends to seek additional funding through a Private Placement Offering which will be utilized to fund product development and continue operations. The Company recognizes that, if it is unable to raise additional capital, it may find it necessary to substantially reduce or cease operations.
 
Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial statements; we believe the following critical accounting policy involves the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments.

Revenue Recognition

For revenue from product sales and services, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

41

 
Revenue arises from subscriptions to the websites/software, workshops, online workshops and training and coaching/counseling services where the payments are received before the service has been rendered. Beginning January 1, 2009, the company changed its marketing strategy such that the company no longer collects revenues in advance of rendering services.  Instead, for all new customers, a monthly subscription fee is received for access to the online training and courses and website/data during a given month.  As all the products and services are delivered during the month, the revenues are recognized in the month it is delivered.   All revenues collected in prior periods from the legacy marketing strategy are deferred and recognized as per the existing revenue recognition policy. Additionally, any revenues from services such as coaching/counseling that are sold in advance of delivery will be deferred using the existing revenue recognition policy. Thus we have two distinct revenue models that were used during FY 2009 and revenue under either model will be recognized under its appropriate model. The company reserves the option to operate under either model as the business environment dictates.
 
We sell our products separately and in various bundles that contain multiple deliverables that include website/data subscriptions, educational workshops, online workshops and training, one-on-one coaching and counseling sessions, along with other products and services. In accordance with 605-25, sales arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into separate units of accounting if the deliverables in the arrangement meet the following criteria: (i) the product has value to the customer on a standalone basis; (ii) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items; and (iii) delivery or performances of any undelivered item is probable and substantially in our control. The fair value of each separate element is generally determined by prices charged when sold separately. In certain arrangements, we offer these products bundled together.  If there is any discount from the combined fair value of the individual elements, the discount is allocated to the portion of the revenues that is attributed to the online courses and training. As per 605-25, if fair value of all undelivered elements in an arrangement exists, but fair value does not exist for a delivered element, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee (after allocation of 100 percent of any discount to the delivered item) is recognized as revenue.  The deferral policy for each of the different types of revenues is summarized as follows:

Product
  
Recognition Policy
     
Live Workshops and Workshop Certificates
 
Deferred and recognized as the workshop is provided or certificate expires
     
Online training and courses
 
Deferred and recognized a.) as the services are delivered, or b.) when usage thresholds are met, or c.) on a straight-line basis over the initial product period
     
Coaching/Counseling services
 
Deferred and recognized as services are delivered, or on a straight-line basis over the term of the service contract
     
Website/data fees (monthly)
 
Not Deferred, recognized in the month delivered
     
Website/data fees (pre-paid subscriptions)
 
Deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the subscription period

Stock-Based Compensation

 The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and key consultants including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to an Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on the estimated fair values.   
 
42

 
The company adopted ASC 718-10 using the modified prospective transition method, which required the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the company's Financial Statements for the prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include the impact of ASC 718-10. Stock based compensation expense recognized under ASC 718-10 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $131,335 and $425,282.

For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not grant stock options to employees. The fair value of options granted in previous years vesting during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 of $32,358 and $157,637 respectively was recorded as a current period charge to earnings.

Segment Information

[The information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company’s principal operating segment.}

Derivative Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We have evaluated the application of Accounting Standards Codification 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”) to certain freestanding warrants and convertible promissory notes that contain exercise price adjustment features known as reset provisions.  Based on the guidance in ASC 815-40, we have concluded these instruments are required to be accounted for as derivatives effective upon issuance on July 31, 2009.

In addition, On June 2, 2010, we issued a $50,000 Convertible Promissory Note that matures in May 4, 2011. The note bears interest at a rate of 8% and will be convertible into the Company’s common stock at any time at the holder’s option, into common stock at the conversion rate of 60% of the lowest three trading days 10 days prior to notice of conversion.

We identified embedded derivatives related to the Convertible Promissory Note entered into on June 2, 2010.  These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features.  The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires us to record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of the Convertible Promissory Note and to fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.  

We have recorded the fair value of the warrants, reset provisions and debt derivative of the convertible promissory notes and classified as derivative liabilities in our balance sheet at fair value with changes in the value of these derivatives reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as gain or loss on derivative liabilities.  These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815-10.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
43

 
In April 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17 (ASU 2010-17), Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. The amendments in this Update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity should apply the amendments retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-17 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-09 (ASU 2010-09), "Subsequent Events (Topic 855)."  The amendments remove the requirements for an SEC filer to disclose a date, in both issued and revised financial statements, through which subsequent events have been reviewed.  Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. GAAP.  ASU 2010-09 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2010.  The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-09 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company
 
There were various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this item.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Control and Procedures
 
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term in defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) 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 (15 U.S.C. 78a, et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosures.

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, and further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurances that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the registrant have been detected.  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.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  Our 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, as of June 30, 2010, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are currently effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  As we develop new business or engage in an extraordinary transaction, we will continuously review our disclosure controls and procedures to ensure the controls and procedures remain adequate.
 
44

 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business.  However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. As of March 31, 2010 the Company was engaged in one legal matter: On July 16, 2009, a petition for judgment was filed with the Civil Court of the City of New York naming the Company as a defendant relating to property leased by the Company from the defendant for recovery of past due rent payments, interest and legal costs.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company has accrued their obligation under the lease. On March 30, 2010, the Company settled for $156,720.  In additional the Company may be obligated to additional monies due on the primary lease of $67,600.   As of June 30, 2010, the Company has accrued their obligations under the lease and is negotiating a payment plan.

ITEM 3 – DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

In May 2007, the Company received $50,000 in exchange for a Convertible NOTE (Note) that matured on August 31, 2007. The Note bears an interest rate of 12% and is convertible into the Company's common stock at the greater of $0.25 per share or 67.5% of the average 10 previous trade days prior to conversion. This note was intended to be a short term note with repayment upon the raising of additional capital in a private offering with American Capital Partners as the placement agent.  This subsequent financing was not adequate to repay this note as promised, and the company since has not had sufficient liquidity to repay this note.  To date the noteholder has taken no legal action and  has been collecting the default rate of interest (18% per annum) in restricted common stock. It is the intention of the Company to repay this note as soon as it is able from excess cash flow or additional financing.
