Item 1. Description of Business.
General
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 19, 2005. Clifford Lerner is our sole officer and director, as well as our controlling stockholder. We currently have fourteen other employees. On December 30, 2005, we obtained all of the shares of eTwine, Inc. a New York Corporation incorporated in May 2004, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement and Share Exchange between eTwine, Inc. and us in consideration for the issuance of 24,681,000 shares to the eTwine, Inc. shareholders. Clifford Lerner remained our sole officer and director after the agreement and pursuant to the agreement eTwine, Inc. became our wholly owned subsidiary. Now we own and operate dating applications on social networking websites as well as an online dating website. The purpose of this merger was to create a holding company in the event we decide to acquire other entities in this industry in the future. In addition, the purpose was for the public entity to be a Delaware corporation which has provisions of its laws that are more favorable to our shareholders than New York laws.
We launched an online dating website called IamFreeTonight.com in November 2006 offering several unique features for singles including Group Dating & Dating by Schedule.
In 2007 we began building dating applications on Facebook Platform. As a result of our initial traffic growth with these applications we shifted our business model away from IamFreeTonight.com and towards building dating applications on social networking platforms.
In June 2007 we launched our first application on Facebook called Meet New People. Meet New People, which was significantly upgraded in December 2007, allows users to flirt with each other by messaging online and post when they are free to hang out. Meet New People has in excess of 4 Million installations.
In August 2007 we launched our second application on Facebook.com called Are You Interested. Since its launch, Are You Interested has consistently been one of the leading pure-dating applications on Facebook as defined by Most Daily Active Users and most Monthly Active Users. Are You Interested allows users to view pictures of other members and indicate if they are “interested” in them by clicking “yes” on the picture. We notify members when there is a mutual match. Users are also able to send messages and exchange virtual gifts on the application. Are You Interested has in excess of 14 Million installations on Facebook.
In December 2007 we changed our name from eTwine Holdings, Inc. to Snap Interactive, Inc. to reflect the company’s shifting focus toward producing dating applications for Social Networking websites. At that time our stock ticker symbol also change from ETWI to STVI.
In March 2008 we launched two applications on MySpace Developer Platform: Are You Interested and a new brand called Flirt With Me. Flirt With Me is a dating application that allows users to send funny flirts to each other as well as exchange virtual gifts and messages.
In April 2008 we launched two applications on Hi5 Developer Platform: Are You Interested and Flirt With Me. We subsequently launched Are You Interested and Flirt With Me on Bebo Developer Platform.
In March 2009 ‘Are You Interested?’ was launched on the iPhone – representing our first mobile dating application.
On May 4, 2009 we announced the beta-launch of AreYouInterested.com, our new stand-alone online dating website. AreYouInterested.com represents an expanded version of our Are You Interested Facebook application and incorporates a Facebook Connect integration.
Collectively we have approximately ten applications across four social networking platforms (Facebook, MySpace, Hi5, & Bebo) along with the Are You Interested iPhone mobile application platform for mobile dating and AreYouInterested.com, a stand-alone online dating website. Our three primary application brands are Are You Interested, Meet New People, & Flirt With Me. As of December 31, 2009 we have in excess of 20 Million total installations of our applications.
On June 10, 2009 we incorporated SNAP Mobile Limited, a United Kingdom Corporation as a wholly-owned subsidiary.
In late November 2009 we completed our transition from an advertising model to a subscription-based model for revenue generation on our Are You Interested application on Facebook.
1
We presently maintain our principal offices at 363 Seventh Ave, 13th Floor, New York, NY 10001. Our telephone number is (516) 942-2030.
Marketing
Our applications have gained their user base primarily through viral growth and we have purchased very few advertisements to promote them since their launch. However in late 2009, in conjunction with the launch of our subscription model, we have increased our spending on advertising and marketing. We believe that our existing applications will continue to grow virally, however we expect to continue increasing our marketing expenditures in anticipation of a positive return on the lifetime value of new users when compared to the acquisition cost.
Competition
The company faces substantial competition from other social networking application providers as well as major online dating websites. In the application field, we believe our primary competition comes from other leading developers such as Zynga, Playfish, and Playdom who all have multiple applications that remain consistently among the leaders on Facebook & Myspace. In the Dating category of social networking applications, we are consistently one of the leaders in the category as measured by both Daily Active Users and Total Installs. To our knowledge, Zoosk is the only other application provider that has traffic totals for a pure dating application that compare with us at this time.
Achieving critical mass with respect to market share is critical for online dating sites and online dating applications. As a result of our large user base we believe we are well-positioned to continue as a leader in the online dating application market. We believe this large user base will also allow us to compete favorably in the marketplace with future products that we offer. Additionally, we hope to offset any advantages held by competitors with larger member bases by offering products and services which are unique to the industry, superior in quality to and more appealing than those of our competitors. We also believe that the industry offers substantial room for growth as social networking application platforms continue to expand and as the internet continues to become more of an accepted tool for finding a mate.
Patent and Trademarks
We have filed various trademark and provisional patent applications in order to protect our product names, concepts, and associated intellectual property rights.
2
Governmental Regulations
There are no governmental approvals necessary to conduct our current business and the social networking application industry is not generally subject to any governmental regulation. Although this permits us to provide our services without the time and expense of governmental supervision it also allows competitors to more easily enter this business market.
Employees
We currently have fifteen full-time employees as well as one additional full-time programmer that we employ on an independent contractor basis.

Flirt With Me is a fun dating application that allows users to exchange flirts with each other and also integrates a "Flirt With Me" profile box onto a user's profiles to allow anyone who visits their profile the ability to send funny flirt messages. As of September 30, 2009, Flirt With Me had approximately 1 Million total installs.
In the coming months we will continue to enhance our current applications and products as well as consider building additional dating application on Facebook and other large social networking platforms.
How We Generate Revenue
For most of 2009 our primary revenue stream was derived from placing advertisements on various pages of our applications. We primarily used advertising networks as well as occasionally entering into individual advertising deals and affiliate deals. We run various different types of advertisements through a number of advertising networks. Depending on the type of advertisement, we are generally paid when a user either views the advertisement, clicks the link in the advertisement, or signs up for the product or service that is being advertised. Advertising payouts can vary greatly and are subject to numerous external factors. We do not presently employ any direct advertising salesmen. We also generated revenue from “premium features” that users could access at a cost on several of our applications including the sale of virtual gifts.
In the fourth quarter of 2009 we implemented a subscription-based pay model into our Are You Interested application on Facebook in order to generate additional revenue. By December 2009 the subscription fees received became our primary source of revenue. We are currently working on inserting subscription-based models into several of our other products. The timing of implementing a subscription model is dependent upon a number of factors including, but not limited to, our available resources to allocate to the project, our payment processing capabilities, as well as the evaluation of our corporate objectives in weighing the relative benefits of prioritizing revenue versus growth.
We recognize revenue from monthly premium subscription fees in the month in which the services are used. Revenues are presented net of refunds, credits and known credit card chargebacks. Our subscriptions are currently offered in durations of varying length from one month to six months – generally in one, three, and six month terms. Long-term plans with durations longer than one month are generally available at discounted monthly rates. Revenues from these long-term plans are recognized pro-rata over the subscription term. Pursuant to our terms of service, most subscriptions renew automatically for subsequent periods of the same length until subscribers terminate them.
7
We recognize revenue from the direct sale of "points" over two months. Points can be used in exchange for certain premium features on our products. Determining whether and when some of the criteria for spending points have been satisfied often involves assumptions and management judgments that can have an impact on the timing and amount of revenue we report in each period. At this time we believe that our assessment is fair and we will continue to monitor these activities in order to determine if there are significant changes in usage patterns.
We currently offer several payment options and are pursuing relationships with multiple payment processors in order to diversify our risk and reliance on a single payment processor, ensure competitive rates, and offer our users as many payment options as possible. We will continue to research and explore additional opportunities in this area.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2008
Revenues
Revenue increased from $3,011,627 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $3,170,725 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $159,098.
These revenues are primarily generated from advertisements and premium features placed on our various applications as well as subscription fees for subscriptions to our Are You Interested application on Facebook. We experienced a small increase in revenue versus the previous year as a result of increased monetization efforts, however as we noticed declining advertising payouts much of the year was spent developing and transitioning to our subscription model for which we only began seeing the anticipated revenue increase toward the end of 2009 following its launch.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of Revenue increased from $958,364 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $1,423,585 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $465,221. The increase in Cost of Revenue is primarily attributable to the overall expansion of our operations as compared to the previous year including increases in staff, hosting and server costs..
Operating Expenses
Operating Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased to $1,831,918 from $1,119,384 for the year ended December 31, 2008, representing an increase of $712,534.

Net Income
9
Net Income decreased to a loss of $101,919 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from net income of $796,960 for the year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $898,879.
The decrease in net income and shift to a net loss was due to the revenue recognition aspect of our subscription model in which revenues are recognized over the duration of a user’s subscription term rather than when collected in the case of multi-month subscriptions, as well as decreased advertising payouts, and increased expenses associated with the expansion of our operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company is currently financing its operations primarily through cash generated by its previous financing activities and revenues derived from advertisements placed on our various applications as well as premium features placed on our applications.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had $1,895,449 in cash. Historically, the Company’s principal working capital needs have been met through continuing operations. As the Company grows and expands its operations, the need for working capital will increase. The Company expects to finance its internal growth with cash provided from operations, borrowings, debt or equity offerings, or some combination thereof.
10
The Company’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $101,919. Net cash provided by operating activities was $441,226 during year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $1,238,500 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Cash provided by operating activities mainly consisted of a net loss of $101,919 and an increase in accrued expenses of $174,957, an increase in prepaid expenses of $222,974, an increase in deferred revenue of $281,049 and an increase in stock based compensation. The Company intends to use its cash to continue to funds its operations going forward.
Critical Accounting Pronouncements
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 855, Subsequent Events. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 855 sets forth (1) The period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) The circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 855 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this FASB Accounting Standards Codification did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 860, Transfers and Servicing. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 860 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption that FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 860 will have on its financial statements.
\In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 810, Consolidation. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 810 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 810 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 810 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 105, GAAP The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 105 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 105. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative. The adoption of the Codification did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).

To the Board of Directors of:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Snap Interactive, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Snap Interactive, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SNAP INTERACTIVE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
(A) Organization
Snap Interactive, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 19, 2005. eTwine, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on May 7, 2004.
The Company was organized to operate an online dating and social community website that is proactive in understanding the singles environment.
(B) Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying 2009 and 2008 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Snap Interactive, Inc., its 100% owned subsidiaries eTwine, Inc and Snap Mobile Limited. Snap Mobile Limited is a United Kingdom Corporation, and was incorporated on June 10, 2009. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.
(C) Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required 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 and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
(E) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 740, Income Taxes. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The deferred tax liability results primarily from the use of accelerated methods of depreciation of equipment for tax purposes.
|

The valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be
|

realized. This reduction is necessary due to the use of the prior year's net operating loss carryovers and the uncertainty
|

of the exercising of the outstanding stock options. The net change in the valuation allowance for the year ended

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008
(F) Property and Equipment
The Company values property and equipment at cost and depreciates these assets using the straight-line method over their expected useful life. The Company uses a three year life for software, website costs and leasehold improvements and five year life for computer equipment.
In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company carries long-lived assets at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value. Impairment is evaluated by estimating future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair value, for purposes of calculating impairment, is measured based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a market rate of interest.
There were no impairment losses recorded during the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
(G) Intangible Assets
In accordance with Statement FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 350, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other, requires that intangible assets with a finite life are amortized over its life and requires that goodwill and intangible assets be reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise.
(H) Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. The Company applies this statement prospectively.
Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments.

(J) Income/(Loss)Per Share
Basic income per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 260, Earnings Per Share.
Diluted income per share includes the dilutive effects of stock options, warrants, and stock equivalents. To the extent stock options, warrants, stock equivalents and warrants are anti-dilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share. For the year ended December 31, 2008 the 8,190,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants were not included in the computation of income per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive. For year ended December 31, 2009, 10,350,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive.

FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 855 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this FASB Accounting Standards Codification did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 860, Transfers and Servicing. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 860 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption that FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 860 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 810, Consolidation. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 810 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 810 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 105, GAAP The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 105 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 105. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative.

The fair value of the common stock was $0.25 per share based upon the terms of the convertible note entered into on December 29, 2005. Accordingly, no gain or loss is recognized in this transaction. At December 31, 2009, the Company had a remaining balance due of $35,348.

On December 1, 2007 the Company entered into a one year employment agreement with an executive. As compensation for services received the Company is required to issue 300,000 shares of common stock, an option to purchase 3,000,000 shares and an annual compensation of $160,000 per year beginning January 2008. As of December 31, 2009 the employment agreement has not been extended, however the employment relationship has continued under the same terms with an annual compensation of $175,000 for the year 2009.

On March 27, 2007, a stockholder converted additional debt totaling $50,000 in exchange for 600,000 shares of common stock. The fair value of the common stock was $0.08 per share based upon the terms of the convertible note entered into on December 29, 2005. Accordingly, no gain or loss is recognized in this transaction.

Item 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but 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.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “ Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, our management has determined that as of December 31, 2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective for the purposes for which it is intended.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report, fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
