Non-cash investing and financing activities:
In October 2008, the Company granted a warrant to an advisory for services. The warrant allows the Advisor to purchase the greater 5,952,362 common shares or 5.2% of the outstanding common shares of the company, calculated on a fully dilutive basis. The terms also allows for a cashless-exercise. The warrant was originally valued at $13,831,504 and capitalized as a prepaid expense. It is being charged to operations over the one year term of the consulting agreement. Based upon the terms of the warrant, the Company considers it to be a derivative and is including the fair value of the warrant in its liabilities (see Note 12).
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company charged $281,882 to equity relating to the amortization of discounts on related party convertible debt (See Note 12)

SINGLE TOUCH SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2009 (UNAUDITED) |
1. Organization, History and Business
Single Touch Systems Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Delaware on May 31, 2000, under its original name, Hosting Site Network, Inc. On May 12, 2008, the Company changed its name to Single Touch Systems Inc.
On July 24, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. (Interactive), a company incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 2, 2002, in exchange for issuing 42,967,554 shares of its common stock. For financial reporting purposes, the acquisition was treated as a reverse acquisition whereby Interactive operations continue to be reported as if it had actually been the acquirer. Assets and liabilities continue to be reported at Interactives historical cost because before the reverse acquisition, the Company had nominal assets, liabilities and operations.
The Company develops software applications utilized by end users in downloading images, ringtones, games, and other content into their cell phones and other wireless communication devices.
On May 27, 2008, Interactive declared a 1-for-2 reverse split of its common stock. All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of shares outstanding and per-share amounts have been restated to reflect this stock split.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months and six-months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission). The Company believes that the disclosures in the financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2008 filed with the Commission on December 29, 2008..
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has accumulated operating losses since its inception (May 31, 2000). In addition, the Company has used ongoing working capital in its operations. At March 31, 2009, its accumulated deficit amounted to $91,515,034.
In view of current matters, the continuation of the Companys operations is dependent on revenue from its licensing of its technologies and related services advancements made by its officers, and the raising capital through the sale of its equity instruments or issuance of debt. Management believes that these sources of funds will allow the Company to continue as a going concern through 2009. However, no assurances can be made that current or anticipated future sources of funds will enable the Company to finance future periods operations. In light of these circumstances, substantial doubt exists about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the 2008 amounts to 2009 classifications for comparative purposes.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Single Touch Systems Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Single Touch Interactive, Inc, and HSN, Inc. an inactive company formed in New Jersey on August 21, 2001. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

SINGLE TOUCH SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2009 (UNAUDITED) |
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as revised by SAB No. 104. As such, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectibility is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts.
Revenue is derived from licensing of the Companys wireless applications to various telecommunication companies. Under the terms of the various licensing agreements, the Company receives a fee, net of revenue sharing and other costs, each time its application is utilized by the end user. Revenue is recognized in the month the application is utilized. The Company records its revenue pursuant to EITF 99-19 Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.
Advanced licensing fees received with minimum guarantees where it cannot determine the fee earned are recognized in income on the straight line basis over the term of the license in accordance with SFAS #50.
In addition, the Company also generates income through the development of software for third parties on a contractual basis. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable is reported at the customers outstanding balances less any allowance for doubtful accounts. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
An allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and information collected from individual customers. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectibility is determined to be permanently impaired.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.
Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes based upon the following estimated useful lives:
Software development | 2- 3 years | |
Equipment | 5 years | |
Computer hardware | 5 years | |
Office furniture | 7 years |
Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the assets carrying value and fair value or disposable value. At March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not believe there was any impairment of its long-lived assets.

SINGLE TOUCH SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2009 (UNAUDITED) |
Prepaid Royalties
The Companys agreements with licensors and developers generally provide it with exclusive publishing rights and require it to make advance royalty payments that are recouped against royalties due to the licensor or developer based on product sales. Prepaid royalties are amortized on a software application-by-application basis based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total current and estimated future sales or the contractual royalty rate based on actual net product sales. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of prepaid royalties and charges to operations the amount that management determines is probable that will not be recouped at the contractual royalty rate in the period in which such determination is made or at the time the Company determines that it will cancel a development project. Prepaid royalties are classified as current and non-current assets based upon estimated net product sales within the next year.
Capitalized Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application. Capitalized software development costs represent the costs associated with the internal development of the Companys software applications. Amortization of such costs is recorded on a software application-by-application basis based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total of current and estimated future sales for the applications or the straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful life of the software application. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of capitalized software costs and will charge to operations amounts that are deemed unrecoverable for projects it will abandon.
Issuances Involving Non-cash Consideration
All issuances of the Companys stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a dollar amount equaling the market value of the shares issued on the date the shares were issued for such services. The non-cash consideration received pertains to consulting services.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123R, "Share- based Payment and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure - An amendment to SFAS No. 123. These standards define a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In accordance with SFAS Nos. 123R and 148, the cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the pricing model at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. During the three and six month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company recognized stock based compensation of $3,457,846 and $5,763,127, respectively, from the granting of a common stock warrant to an advisor (See Note 12). During the three and six month period ended March 31, 2008, the Company recognized stock based compensation of $1,400,000 through the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to employees and a consultant. Of the $1,400,000, $360,500 was attributed to shares issued to the advisor and $1,039,500 was attributed to shares issued to employees. The $1,039,500 has been included in salaries and wages.
Loss Per Share
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented since the effect of the assumed conversion of warrants and debt to purchase common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares as of March 31, 2009 include 30,993,362 warrants, and $2,392,957 of debt convertible into 29,911,963 shares of the Companys common stock that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share. Potential common shares as of March 31, 2008 were 6,774,000 warrants, and $3,096,000 of debt convertible into 2,211,428 shares of the Companys common stock that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share. These potential common shares are excluded because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. If such shares were included in diluted EPS, they would have resulted in weighted-average common shares of 120,415,309 and 51,052,104 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 120,347,652, and 49,178,004 for the six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively

During the three months and six months ended March 31, 2008, significantly all of the Companys revenue was generated from contracts with seven customers. Fees from one customer in both years were collected and paid to the Company by a related party.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affects 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Convertible Debentures
If the conversion feature of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (BCF). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to EITF Issue No. 98-5 (EITF 98-05), Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency Adjustable Conversion Ratio, and EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments. In those circumstances, the convertible debt will be recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and the Company will amortize the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 109 ("SFAS 109"). The method of accounting for income taxes under SFAS 109 is an asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial reporting bases of other assets and liabilities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS No. 161 - In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This Statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
This Statement is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in Statement 133. The Statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This disclosure better conveys the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks that the entity is intending to manage. Disclosing the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format should provide a more complete picture of the location in an entitys financial statements of both the derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives during the reporting period. Disclosing information about credit-risk-related contingent features should provide information on the potential effect on an entitys liquidity from using derivatives. Finally, this Statement requires cross-referencing within the footnotes, which should help users of financial statements locate important information about derivative instruments.
This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption.
The adoption of SFAS No 160 has not had a significant impact on our financial statements.

While outstanding, the notes are convertible into shares of the Companys common stock at a rate of $1.40 per share. The conversion terms of the promissory notes contain certain anti-dilution provisions. The Company has agreed to register the underlying convertible shares in connection with the filing of any public offering, subject to certain terms and conditions. Commencing on June 30, 2007, the Company has the right to convert all or some of the convertible debt into shares of its common stock at a price of $1.40 per share.

The warrants expire five years after issuance and contain anti-dilution provisions. The conversion features of the note are below market and therefore the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature (BCF) of $2,295,292 pursuant to EITF Issue No. 98-5 (EITF 98-05), Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency Adjustable Conversion Ratio, and EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments.

10. Fair Value
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), at the beginning of fiscal year 2009 to measure the fair value of certain of its financial assets required to be measured on a recurring basis. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not impact the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:
Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.
The Company has no Level 1 assets.
Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
The Companys Level 2 assets consist of a derivative and warrant liability. The Company determines the fair value of its Level 2 assets based upon the trading prices of its common stock on the date of issuance and when applicable, on the last day of the quarter. The Company uses the Black-Sholes Option Model in valuing the fair value of level 2 assets.
Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Companys level 3 assets include cash, accounts payable and accrued expense, which due to their short-term maturities are valued at net book value.

11. Deferred Income
In December 2005, the Company received $2,000,000 in connection with an option agreement and related service agreement. Under the terms of the option agreement, the third party payer had until July 30, 2006 to exercise the option to acquire the Company. The option was not exercised and the $2,000,000 is treated as an advance against royalties earned by the Company on the use of an application licensed to the third party payer.
Under the service agreement, the Company provides the application for the first four months at no cost, but is entitled to reimbursement for any direct pass through third party costs paid by the Company relating to the use of the licensed technology and related service. Thereafter the Company nets $.175 per transaction on the delivery of any mobile content to the third Party payer through the utilization of the application for a period of up to three years. As the $2,000,000 advance is not refundable, the Company is amortizing it into revenue evenly over the remaining 29 months of the license agreement pursuant to SFAS #50. Therefore on a monthly basis, the Company is reporting revenue relating to this license agreement the greater of the transaction fee earned or $68,966 ($2,000,000/29 months). In addition, during the first four months of the contract, the Company received the revenue generated under the service agreement as a contingency against future costs associated with the first four months of the agreement. The amount received during the four months totaled $488,952. The Company is also amortizing it into revenue on the straight- line basis pursuant to SFAS #50.
Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 under this agreement amounted to $0 and $233,091, respectively. Revenue recognized during the six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 under this agreement amounted to $249,328 and $457,234, respectively.

These warrants were valued at $1,741,800 using the Black-Sholes Option Model based upon an expected life of 3 years, risk free interest rate of 3.27%, and expected volatility of 50%. At the date of grant, the Companys common stock had an estimated market value based upon the price established in its debt offering of $.88 per share.
As discussed in Note 7, under a private offering, the Company issued 2,640,000 Class A Warrants and 2,640,000 Class B Warrants Each Class A Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $1.60 per share for a period of 18 months from date of grant. Each Class B Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $2.05 per share for a period of 18 months from date of grant. As the exercise price of both the Class A and Class B Warrants were greater than the market price of the Companys common stock of $0.25 at date of grants, no compensation expense was recognized

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with Single Touch's financial statements and the related notes thereto. The Management's Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Report on Form 10-Q. The Companys actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Report on Form 10-Q.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial data included elsewhere in this report. See also the notes to our consolidated financial statements and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2008.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In consultation with our Board of Directors, we have identified the following accounting policies that it believes are key to an understanding of its financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require managements most difficult, subjective judgments.
Revenue Recognition
Under the terms of various service and licensing agreements, the Company receives a fee, net of revenue sharing and other costs, each time its application is utilized by the end user. Revenue is recognized in the month the application is utilized. The Company records its revenue pursuant to EITF 99-19 Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.
Advanced service and licensing fees received with minimum guarantees where it cannot determine the fee earned are recognized in income on the straight line basis over the term of the license in accordance with FASB SFAS #50.
Conventional Convertible Debt
When the convertible feature of the conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (BCF). We record a BCF as a debt discount pursuant to EITF Issue No. 98-5 (EITF 98-05), Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency Adjustable Conversion Ratio, and EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instrument(s) . In those circumstances, the convertible debt will be recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. We amortize the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

SINGLE TOUCH SYSTEMS, INC.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), at the beginning of fiscal year 2009 to measure the fair value of certain of its financial assets required to be measured on a recurring basis. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not impact the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:
Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access. The Company has no Level 1 assets.
Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
The Companys Level 2 assets consist of a derivative and warrant liability. The Company determines the fair value of its Level 2 assets based upon the trading prices of its common stock on the date of issuance and when applicable, on the last day of the quarter. The Company uses the Black-Sholes Option Model in valuing the fair value of level 2 assets. Changes in fair value of derivative and warrant liability income of $4,932,722 was significant during the current period. This change was a result of our lower stock price on the fair value calculations.
Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no Level 3 assets.
Non-monetary Consideration Issued for Services
We value all services rendered in exchange for our common stock at the quoted price of the shares issued at date of issuance or at the fair value of the services rendered, whichever is more readily determinable. All other services provided in exchange for other non-monetary consideration is valued at either the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the consideration relinquished, whichever is more readily determinable.
Our accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services and EITF 00-18, Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendors performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance to EITF 00-18, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantors balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes. Accordingly, we record the fair value of nonforfeitable common stock issued for future consulting services as prepaid services in our consolidated balance sheet.
Software Development Costs
We account for our software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 86, Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. Under SFAS No. 86, we expense software development costs as incurred until we determine that the software is technologically feasible. Once we determine that the software is technologically feasible, We amortize the costs capitalized over its expected useful life of the software, which is generally two years.

SINGLE TOUCH SYSTEMS, INC.
Corporate History
Single Touch Systems Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Delaware on May 31, 2000, under its original name, Hosting Site Network, Inc. to provide businesses with Internet services. On May 12, 2008, the Company changed its name to Single Touch Systems Inc. On July 24, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. (Interactive), a company incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 2, 2002. Immediately following the acquisition, Single Touch Interactive, Inc. became our wholly-owned subsidiary and comprised the business of the Company. Single Touch Systems, Inc. is now engaged in the business of wireless application development, publishing and distribution.
Business Overview
Single Touch Systems is a provider of customized easy-to-use wireless solutions. Our patent pending technology simplifies adoption by reaching new data subscribers and generating new revenue streams for carriers and content owners. Single Touch's Abbreviated Dial Code (ADC) programs make mobile easy for brands, consumers and carriers. The simplicity of dialing a # plus 3 to 6 digit branded telephone number has resulted in high response and download conversion rates. A large percentage of ADC consumers are first time data users, demonstrating how simple it is to deliver mobile data and campaigns through these ADC programs while also opening up a new market outside of Short Message Service (SMS).
Our ADC programs are a developing revenue source. We continue to add new ADC clients and believe the ADC campaigns will continue to evolve beyond ringtone and other media content downloads. Recently developed programs involve non-mobile services campaigns providing value added services to traditional retail customers; like notifying pharmacy customers that a prescription is ready for pick up. We are also developing mobile couponing and other services to address a broader market application of mobile data services.
Our focus of operations for the next 12-month period will be to develop our business segments focusing on growing operations in each product category including ringtones, messaging alerts, mobile applications and mobile couponing to generate revenues. We intend to use profits from operations to maintain and grow each product category. We will continue our efforts to raise additional capital to maintain existing and generate expanded operations.
Results of Operations
Results of Operations for the Three-Months Ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008
The Company reports a net income of $299,222 for the three-months ended March 31, 2009 versus a net loss of $3,656,220 for the three-month period ending March 31, 2008. A large component of the net income for the three month perios was a result of changes in fair value of derivative and warrant liability income, not profits from operations.
The net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 includes changes in fair value of derivative and warrant liability income of $4,932,722; stock based compensation expense for non-employees of $3,457,876; salary and wages totaling $354,145; and, general and administrative expenses of $174,815. Revenues for the period were $122,659.
The net loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 includes officers compensation of $593,750; salary and wages totaling $1,186,923; and, general and administrative expenses of $151,218. Revenues for the period were $465,858.
Our largest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2009 was stock based compensation for non-employees of $3,457,876. With the exception of our stock base compensation, our operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2009 were actually lower than the operating expenses incurred during the same three month period in 2008. The majority of the reduction was due to lower officers compensation, salaries and wages. Travel expenses were also down significantly from prior periods.
21
SINGLE TOUCH SYSTEMS, INC.
Revenues
Revenues for the three month period ending March 31, 2009 were $122,659 resulting in a decrease of approximately 70% from revenues of $465,858 for the comparable period in 2008.
We continue to experience lower sales from some of our ADC programs that transitioned in advertising from Motricity to Play-phone and Thumb-play. The efforts of the new advertisers for the MTV and BET programs have not generated significantly improved sales.
We have begun initial rollout of new ADC programs which we expect to shift revenue dependence from media download end users which often are proportionate to advertising directed by our customers, to value added services involving traditional retailers and service providers. ADC enhanced messaging services and couponing is expected to provide us with a greatly expanded revenue potential serving a much broader end user base. These programs can be implemented at point of sale as a convenience to the end user motivated as a cost savings to the retailer/service provider.
Changes in Assets and Liabilities
At March 31, 2009, we had total assets of $9,430,700 and total liabilities of $14,356,246; comparably, at March 31, 2008, we had total assets of $2,644,502 and total liabilities of 9,520,493. Of the total assets at March 31, 2009 of $9,430,700, $8,068,377 pertains to the unamortized portion of the fair value of the warrants issued to our special advisor that was classified to prepaid expense. We are amortizing the fair value of the warrant over the initial one year term of the consulting agreement. Total assets at March 31, 2009, excluding the prepaid consulting, amounts to $1,362,323, which is $1,282,179 less than our total assets in 2008 of $2,644,502.
Of the total liabilities at March 31, 2009 of $14,356,246, $9,928,540 pertains to the derivative liability of the above indicated warrant. Total liabilities at March 31, 2009 excluding the derivative warrant liability totaled $4,427,706, which is 5,092,787 lower than our total liabilities at March 31, 2008. The decrease in 2009 over 2008 is due to the reduction in accrued stock based compensation that was owed our President of $2,625,000 and indebtedness due third parties totaling $1,900,000 that was paid subsequently through the issuance of shares of our common stock/.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the six-month period ending March 31, 2009 the Companys cash position decreased by $172,879. Cash used in operating activities totaled $1,043,164; cash used in investing activities totaled $484,933, for purchase of property and equipment of $19,782 and capitalized software development costs of $465,151; and, cash provided by financing activities primarily through the issuance of debt to others was $1,355,218.
As of March 31, 2009, our available cash amounted to $2,182, which is insufficient to meet all of our current financial obligations and continue funding our operations. Our current cash requirement to maintain operations at existing operational levels is approximately $400,000 per month. Management continues to address our cash requirements through developing revenue with new ADC products, expanding our customer base and through the issuance of debt and equity instruments.
If additional funds are not received or revenues do not increase substantially it is unlikely that the Company will be able to continue at its current level of operations. Difficulties in obtaining new financing in the current credit and capital markets has impacted the companys funding efforts and has limited additional resources of funding from our President Mr. Macaluso who has historically covered short term cash requirements to maintain operations.
We are currently having difficulty making our payroll obligations and if conditions do not improve we will have to eliminate more of our staff. Some of our staff have foregone salary and continue to provide services to the company. We cannot be sure how long they will be able to continue these efforts for the company and will have to seek other employment.
We are currently having difficulty making timely payments on our operational obligations. We have been able to maintain services and support to our customers. We have fallen behind in payments on some of our obligations but continue to make payments to bring those obligations current.
22
SINGLE TOUCH SYSTEMS, INC.
We are unable to predict the duration, extent or trends related to the current credit and capital markets. We do expect to continue to experience difficulty financing our short term cash requirements as a result of these struggling markets and the U.S. Economy in general. Also, we may not be able to get terms favorable to the company or the existing shareholders if we are able to secure additional financing.
The majority of our operations have been funded to date through loans from our Founder/CEO Anthony Macaluso, loans from third parties, and proceeds from the issuance of our shares of common stock. We have not generated sufficient revenue to pay for our operations. We expect to experience cash flow difficulties for an indefinite period. Although no assurances can be given, we believe that our cash flow deficit will improve as revenues and sales increase. In addition, although no assurances can be given, we believe that we may be able to secure additional equity and/or debt financing.
A critical component of our operating plan impacting our continued existence is the ability to obtain additional capital through additional equity and/or debt financing. We do not anticipate enough positive internal operating cash flow until such time as we can generate substantial additional revenues and/or improve profit margins on those overall revenues, which may take the next few years to fully realize. In the event we cannot obtain the necessary capital to pursue our strategic plan, we may have to significantly curtail our operations. This would materially impact our ability to continue operations.
Our near term cash requirements are anticipated to be offset through the receipt of funds from private placement offerings and loans obtained through private sources. Since inception, we have financed cash flow requirements through debt financing and issuance of common stock for cash and services. As we expand operational activities, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings and bank borrowings to the extent necessary to provide working capital.
Over the next twelve months we believe that existing capital and anticipated funds from operations will not be sufficient to sustain operations and planned expansion. Consequently, we will be required to seek additional capital in the future to fund growth and expansion through additional equity or debt financing or credit facilities. No assurance can be made that such financing would be available, and if available it may take either the form of debt or equity. In either case, the financing could have a negative impact on our financial condition and our Stockholders. We may continue to incur operating losses over the next twelve months. Our operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, obtain a customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade technology and products, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Based upon current operating levels, we may require additional capital or significant reconfiguration of our operations to sustain our operations for the foreseeable future. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability. We have limited capital with which to pursue our business plan. There can be no assurance that our future operations will be significant and profitable, or that we will have sufficient resources to meet our objectives. We are partially dependent upon our officers and other insiders to provide working capital. However, there can be no assurance that these loans and capital advances will continue in the future. We intend to generate sufficient revenues from our wireless services to fund our business plan. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funds.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements or financing activities with special purpose entities

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Companys Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, Mr. Macaluso, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls
There has been no change in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Internal control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even a system which is determined to be effective cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected or prevented. Our systems of internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
