NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended July 31, 2010 and 2009

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information has been prepared by Webdigs, Inc. (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Accordingly, it does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of this financial information have been included.  Financial results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole or any other interim period.  This financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended October 31, 2009.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. These changes had no effect on our results of operations or stockholder’s equity as previously reported.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Webdigs, Inc. (“the Company”), a Delaware corporation, became a public company in October 2007 after a reverse shell transaction with Select Video, Inc. which was incorporated in Delaware in 1994.  Our business is dedicated to web-assisted residential real estate brokerage services. This is done through our wholly-owned subsidiary Webdigs, LLC.

All of the Company’s real estate brokerage operations are operated under Webdigs, LLC. Our three main real estate brokerage brands are Webdigs, Iggys House and theMLSDirect.com.   Webdigs.com is a web-assisted real estate website and brokerage, offering a similar customer experience as a full service brokerage utilizing a discounted percentage fee structure for listing services to their selling customers and a graduated fee structure for their buying customers by rebating up to 1% of the sale price of the home to the buyer. IggysHouse.com is a web-assisted real-estate listing service which enables the customer to pay a monthly discounted fee of $49.95 to list their homes on their local real estate multiple listing service. Our third brand, theMLSDirect.com, offers consumers a flat-fee MLS listing for $299. Similar to IggysHouse.com, there is a full menu of add-on services available for customers to purchase.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended July 31, 2010 and 2009
 
Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009 include the accounts of Webdigs, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Webdigs, LLC, which includes wholly-owned subsidiaries of Home Equity Advisors, LLC, and Credit Garage, LLC.  The consolidated financial statements for Webdigs, Inc. for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2009 also includes its former wholly-owned subsidiary of Marquest Financial Inc. (Marquest). The Company divested Marquest on June 4, 2009 (see Note 5).  The net results from Marquest have been segregated for all periods presented in the statement of operations.   The investment of Marketplace Home Mortgage – Webdigs, LLC (49% ownership) was recorded on the equity method.  This unconsolidated joint venture was dissolved on October 26, 2009 (see Note 7). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Estimates

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

Intangible Assets

The Company has two types of intangible assets:

Website Development
The primary interface with the customer in our web-assisted real estate broker operation is the Webdigs.com website.  Certain costs incurred in development of this website have been capitalized.  Amortization is on a straight-line method over the estimated three year useful life of the website.   The Company also has incurred costs for the IggysHouse.com website. Those costs are being amortized on a straight-line method over the estimated two year useful life of the website.

Website Domain Names
The Company capitalizes the fair value of website domain names acquired through business combinations or asset acquisitions.  The Company purchased 17 domain names in 17 states in May 2009 from theMLSDirect.com and are amortizing the fair value of these names over a 2 year estimated useful life.

The Company reviews the carrying values of its intangible asset whenever facts and circumstances indicate the assets may be impaired. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is considered impaired, the impairment is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended July 31, 2010 and 2009
 
The Company has experienced limited revenue from the IggysHouse.com website since it went live on January 6, 2010. A continued lack of growth from this website has resulted in the Companys management evaluating the intangible assets acquired from IggysHouse.com with respect to future financial results and cash flows.  As a result of this review, the Company’s management determined that the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the intangible assets were less than their carrying value. At July 31, 2010, the IggyHouse.com assets had a net carrying value of $1,351,455.  The estimated fair value of the intangible assets was reduced to $100,000 at July 31, 2010 (See Note 6). As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $1,251,455 for the three month period ended July 31, 2010.

A separate impairment test for the intangible assets acquired in the May 2009 acquisition of the MLSDirect,com also produced an impairment charge of $11,250.  The Company’s re-evaluation of the 17 affiliate broker relationships acquired as part of the acquisition revealed than none of the 17 affiliates were acting as brokers for the MLSDirect.com as of July 31, 2010.   After the impairment charge, the Company maintains an intangible asset balance of assets for the MLSDirect.com of $10,412 for the domain names acquired as part of the MLSDirect.com acquisition.

Including the remaining $22,973 net value of the Company’s Webdigs.com website, as of July 31, 2010, the Company’s total net intangible assets are $133,385.

Investment in Marketplace Home Mortgage – Webdigs, LLC
 
On August 1, 2008, the Company contributed non-cash assets into a joint venture created with Marketplace Home Mortgage, LLC for a 49% ownership interest (see Note 7). The Company previously accounted for its investment in the joint venture using the equity method. Accordingly, the Company recorded an increase in its investment for contributions to the joint venture and for its 49% share of any income of the joint venture, and a reduction in its investment for its 49% share of any losses of the joint venture or disbursements of profits from the joint venture.  On October 26, 2009, the Company and Marketplace Home Mortgage, LLC agreed to dissolve Marketplace Home Mortgage – Webdigs, LLC.  All remaining assets were distributed upon dissolution.

Segments

Historically, the Company has reported two strategic operating segments; (1) web-assisted real estate brokerage and (2) mortgage brokerage.  Due to the divestiture of Marquest Financial, Inc. and the dissolution of Marketplace Home Mortgage – Webdigs, LLC in 2009, the Company has determined that the mortgage segment is no longer significant to its operations and therefore, now reports as one strategic reporting segment.

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.  Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements.  Deferred tax amounts are determined using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under currently enacted tax law.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.  The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 because realization of those assets is not reasonably assured.

The Company will recognize a financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit.  For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

The Company believes its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained upon examination and, accordingly, no reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties has been recorded at July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820).  ASU 2010-06 provides additional disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.  Disclosure requirements applicable to Level 3 transactions are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.  The portion of ASU 2010-06 that was effective beginning after December 15, 2009 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. Additionally, the Company does not anticipate that the disclosure requirements applicable to Level 3 transactions that are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 will have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

GOING CONCERN

The Company has incurred significant operating losses for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009.  At July 31, 2010, the Company reports a negative working capital position of $1,486,178, and an accumulated deficit of $6,179,999.  It is management’s opinion that these facts raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without additional debt or equity financing.

In order to meet its working capital needs through the next twelve months, the Company plans to raise additional funds through the issuance of debt to its officers and other private placements.  The Company is also working with some of its current vendors (including the Company’s principal website developer/minority stockholder) to potentially negotiate a payout settlement that could be less than the July 31, 2010 balances owed. Although the Company intends to obtain additional financing to meet our cash needs, we may be unable to secure any additional financing on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us, if at all.  The Company significantly reduced operating expenditures during the year ended October 31, 2009 and has continued reducing operating expenses during the nine months ended July 31, 2010.  Management of the Company anticipates that further expense reductions will be difficult to achieve during the last quarter of our current fiscal year.   The Company expects to increase revenues through its existing Webdigs.com customer base, increased website traffic (driven largely by internet advertising) and the addition of real estate agents joining the Webdigs team in the months ahead.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Accounts Payable – Minority Stockholder

The Company’s principal advertising agency/website developer was owed $569,949 at July 31, 2010 and $562,858 at October 31, 2009.  The two principals of this advertising company are also minority stockholders in the Company – holding approximately 1.6% of the Company’s outstanding shares at July 31, 2010.  For the nine month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred $57,091 and $126,579 in services and rent from this related party, respectively. Included in these amounts is office rent expense for the Company of $31,500 for each of the nine month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009.  The Company informally rents office space for its headquarters and real estate operation in Minneapolis from the related party on a month to month basis.  The Company is currently in negotiations with the website developer to settle this debt with cash and some form of the Company’s equity.

Due to Officers

As of July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, the Company was indebted to its officers for amounts totaling $8,330 and $58,606 respectively, for business expenses.  All of the indebtedness represents non-interest bearing payables due on demand.

Convertible Note Payable – Officer/Stockholder

During the nine months ended July 31, 2010, the Company borrowed $319,800 from its CEO under a convertible promissory note accruing interest at an annual rate of 12%.   At July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, the balances due under this note were $492,800 and $173,000, respectively.   The board of directors has approved conversion of up to $300,000 of the note into the Company’s common stock at $0.11 per share at any time.  An additional $166,000 of the note has been approved for conversion into the Company’s common stock at a price equal to the price of shares to potentially be sold to current shareholders under a resolution passed by the Company’s board of directors on April 23, 2010.   Under the April 23, 2010 resolution, the Company is authorized to sell up to 15 million shares of the Company’s common stock to existing shareholders at a price as low as $0.03 per share.   There was no beneficial conversion feature for the first conversion element because the Company’s stock price was trading at $0.11 at the time the Board of Directors approved the first conversion feature (allowing the CEO to convert shares at $0.11 per share).  The second conversion feature is a contingent conversion feature and will need to be reviewed for a beneficial conversion feature if and when the conversion occurs.  For the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2010, the Company incurred $14,497 and $35,053 of interest expense in connection with this note, respectively.   Accrued interest due under the note as of July 31, 2010 was $36,469.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On June 4, 2009, the Company sold its 100% equity interest in Marquest Financial, Inc., a non-operating entity which until August 2008 had been the Company’s principal mortgage brokerage operation, back to its former owner and founder.

As of July 31, 2010 and for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2010, there were no assets or liabilities related to the discontinued operations and there were no revenues and expenses. All of the assets and liabilities were sold back to its former owner as of June 4, 2009.

BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company computes earnings per share under two different methods, basic and diluted, and presents per share data for all periods in which statements of operations are presented. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

General Overview

We are a web-assisted real estate brokerage primarily for residential home buyers and sellers. We utilize the Internet, proprietary technology and efficient business processes to attempt to deliver significant savings to our home sellers and rewards to our home buyers over the traditional “full commission” brokerage model.  We attempt to emphasize client service, when and as needed or requested by our clients, to separate us from other discount brokerage models; and we attempt to provide efficiency and cost savings that will differentiate us from traditional brokerage models.

We operate under three brands. Webdigs.com, our first brand, is our full-service discounted real estate brokerage.  Webdigs offers rebates to its customers of up to 1% of the sales price of the home they purchase through us and offers listing services starting as low as 3.99% (compared to a traditional full-service brokerage which we believe most often charge 5-7% for listing service).

Our second brand, IggysHouse.com, which launched in January 2010, is a month-to-month listing service that allows home sellers to list their home on their local MLS and on IggysHouse.com completely free for 30 days. After 30 days, the seller has the option to continue to list their home for a flat fee of $49.95 per month, with various other ala carte services available for purchase.

Our third brand, theMLSDirect.com, offers a $299 fixed price six month MLS listing to consumers not wishing to engage the services of a listing real estate agent.   TheMLSDirect.com appeals to consumers who otherwise might choose to sell their home themselves without a realtor (commonly referred to as For Sale by Owner).

Currently, we market to potential customers principally through internet ad campaigns, limited but highly targeted e-mail, direct mail, and print advertising.  Our most consistent source of business, however, has been referrals from previous satisfied customers of our Webdigs.com business.

Results of Operation

For the three month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009

Our third quarter results were very disappointing.    For the quarter ended July 31, 2010 our net revenue fell 51% to $121,270 from $247,326 for the same period in 2009.    On a transaction basis, we closed 34 home sale transactions in the quarter ended July 31, 2010.  In 2009, we closed 62 transactions in the same period.  Our operating loss for the three months ended July 31, 2010 was $1,654,299 compared to $221,659 for the comparable three month period ended July 31, 2009.   Fueling the large operating loss increase was an impairment charge of $1,262,705 for the write-down of selected intangible assets purchased in 2009 for our IggysHouse.com and MLSDirect.com business units.   On a comparable basis excluding the impairment charge, operating losses increased by $169,935 from $221,659 for the three month period ended July 31, 2009 to $391,594 for the three months ended July 31, 2010.   If we further exclude amortization from our operating losses, our operating loss from continuing operations declined in 2010 by 42% - from $171,781 to $100,406.

We believe the sales decrease results largely from the expiration of the April 30, 2010 federal government’s home buyer tax credit program.  The home buyer tax credit program, while well intentioned, seems to have served more to move home buying forward than actually increasing home buyer demand.  In the Twin Cities, our principal market, July 2010 signed home sales agreements fell 38% from July 2009 to the lowest level in over 10 years according to data included in the Minneapolis Area of Realtors (MAR) Monthly Indicators Report for July 2010.  MAR also reports that “there were 3,226 signed purchased agreements in July (for the Twin Cities MLS area), a decrease of 1,948 contracts from last year.”   Seller activity has also slowed.

We also made a significant change in pricing in the quarter ended July 31, 2010.  We revised our overall buyer rebate program to make it simpler for our customers to understand.  Up until June 2010, we offered buyers a cash rebate of up to 50% of the commission Webdigs received as the buyer’s broker in a transaction.  This typically averaged 1.35% of the sales price of the home. Starting in June, we switched our rebate to a straight 1% of the home purchase price.  In both cases, we will maintain our minimum commission at $3,000.   We are confident the simplified rebate structure will benefit us in the future.  It is much easier for a prospective customer to calculate 1% of the sales price of a home than it is to calculate 50% of our broker commission.  Furthermore, we will actually save money by switching to the clearer pricing structure.  We hope to notice a benefit to this policy change in the upcoming quarter.

Helping us reduce our non-GAAP operating loss (excluding amortization and impairment charges) were significant decreases in selling and general and administrative expenses.   We reduced selling expenses by 52% from $238,270 for three months ended July 31, 2009 to $114,969 for the comparable period in 2010.  The most significant selling expense decreases come from a decrease in sales commission expense resulting from the year to year decline in sales and our own restraint in spending.    Our sales commission expenses declined by $47,760 (43%) due to decreased sales.  We also cut advertising and promotion expenses by $17,864 (58%) versus last year.  We continue to strive to reach a break-even quarterly cash flow.  For that reason, we have also reduced staffing and cut spending on our website.  We reduced selling related wages and salaries by about $29,416 for the three months ended July 31, 2010.  In addition, we reduced website maintenance spending by $19,097.   We are in the process of developing a new more cost-effective website that should be implemented in September 2010.  For that reason, we anticipate spending almost no money on new activities for our existing website.

In addition to our selling expense cuts, we reduced general and administrative spending by $74,130 ($106,707 for the quarter ended July 31, 2010 versus $180,837 for the same period last year).  The primary factors in our general and administrative expenses were decreased non-cash compensation costs and investor relations expenses.  Overall non-cash compensation costs decreased by $45,030 for the three months ended July 31, 2010 versus July 31, 2009 (from $48,479 to $3,449).  We also achieved reductions in  investor relations expense (from $80,000 to $0).   Offsetting some of the expense reductions was an increase in wage and salary expense of $49,243.  Of this total, nearly $33,000 comes from recognition this year that some previously classified executive salaries are more administrative than selling related in nature.  These costs were classified as selling expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2009.  In addition, we accrued an additional $9,973 for administrative payroll for the quarter ended July 31, 2010. The remaining difference can be attributed to having one more full-time accounting staff person than last year.  This represents a year over year salary expense increase of $6,270.

Our biggest disappointment for the quarter continues to be our “pay as you go” IggysHouse.com brand.  For the quarter ended July 31, 2010, we recorded only $1,566 in revenue for Iggyshouse.com.  We launched the brand in January 2010 with the expectation that our “pay as you go model” would be unique to the consumer real estate market and capable of generating significant revenues.  Combined with the revenues recorded by IggysHouse.com for the 4 months ended April 30, 2010, IggysHouse.com has only provided us $2,026 in total revenue since its launch in January 2010.

The financial struggles of IggysHouse.com have forced us to record an impairment charge of $1,251,455 for the three months ended July 31, 2010.     The only remaining intangible asset relating to IggysHouse.com is the website and associated database.  We have re-valued these together at $100,000.

While IggysHouse.com has disappointed, we remain hopeful that the brand will eventually produce positive results. As of August 1, 2010, we have temporarily switched Iggys to a lower cost website platform.   We have also upgraded the consumer interface portion of the new website.  Results of these two changes have been moderately encouraging.  In August 2010, we recorded by far the most monthly revenues ever for IggysHouse.com.  We recorded $1,563 in sales revenue, 77% of the $2,026 total we had booked in the first seven months since Iggys launch in January 2010.   We believe the IggysHouse.com website technology, which we have temporarily stopped using, remains a valuable asset.  It can handle massive transaction volumes and activity and will be useful to us if the Iggys brand grows substantially.  If not, our analysis suggests there will be a ready market for the website technology for use in a high volume national real estate operation.

In addition to the IggysHouse.com intangible asset impairment charge, we also took a $11,250 impairment charge for our MLSDirect.com intangible assets.  The $11,250 represents the remaining book value of MLSDirect’s affilitate broker relationships that were assumed by Webdigs in its acquisition of the MLSDirect in May 2009.   Due to our focus on the Minnesota and Florida markets for our MLSDirect.com brand, we have not realized value from the affiliate broker relationships in other states for the MLSDirect.  These relationships no longer retain any value and therefore the impairment was necessary.    The encouraging part of our MLSDirect.com business is that our core markets in Florida and Minnesota are healthy and vibrant with quarterly revenues up 109% versus the quarter ended April 30, 2010 to $5,477.  For the three months ended July 31, 2009 MLSDirect.com produced only $205 in sales revenue.

We incurred interest costs of $14,683 in the quarter ended July 31, 2010 compared to $210,630 for the period ended July 31, 2009.  Of the current quarter’s interest expense, $14,497 is for accrued interest on a loan from our CEO with an additional $186 resulting from interest charges passed on from vendors.   For the same period ended July 31, 2009, we experienced significant interest costs of $210,630.    Of the $210,630, approximately $202,000 related to a now repaid promissory note with Lantern Advisors LLC.  The remaining increase of approximately $8,000 comes from interest charges from our suppliers for overdue payables.

Our joint venture was dissolved on October 26, 2009, so there is no joint venture income for the three months ended July 31, 2010.

We also booked a net gain of $292,686 on the disposition of Marquest Financial, Inc. in June 2009.  

For the nine month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009

The Company incurred operating losses of $2,334,271 for the nine month period ended July 31, 2010 compared to a loss of $791,263 for the same period last year.  Net revenues increased 9% from $345,194 for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 to $375,064 for the nine months ended July 31, 2010.  Our revenues increased over the prior year as a result of higher net revenues per transactions (up 11% from $3,831 in FY 2009 to $4,263 in FY 2010) and incremental revenues of $2,026 from IggysHouse.com and $11,590 from the MLSDirect.com in the current fiscal year.  On a transaction basis, we were stagnant as real estate transactions closed dropped by one from 87 to 86 for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

As noted above, we lost our sales momentum in the most recent three month period ended July 31, 2010.  Through April 30, 2010, year to date sales had risen by 159%.  To have to report that year to year revenue growth had dropped to only 9% for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 versus the nine months ended July 31, 2009 really stings.   Though valid reasons exist for our current struggles, namely the expiration of the federal government generous home buyer tax credits and overall sluggishness of the economy, we acknowledge that we must re-ignite our sales engine in the months ahead.

Fortunately, we believe that we have excelled at controlling expenses.  For the nine month period ended July 31, 2010, we reduced general and administrative expenses by $168,855 from $528,490 for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 to $359,635 for the same period this year.  Two main items comprised the decrease:  First, non-cash compensation, which relates primarily to accounting for share grants made to company founders, was reduced by $164,079 from $179,447 for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 to $15,368 for the nine mo nths ended July 31, 2010.  The second significant general and administrative expense decrease comes from reductions in investor relations expenses of $95,000.  Additionally, an aggressive focus on cost cutting produced expense reductions of approximately $25,000 in legal fees.  Partially offsetting the above mentioned decreases was an increase of $115,015 for wages and salaries versus the prior year (of which $88,145 can be attributed to re-classifying CEO compensation expense from selling to general and administrative and $26,870 can be attributed to having one additional accounting and finance employee on staff in the current year. 

We have identified recruitment of agents to be a key component in the growth of our Webdigs.com real estate brokerage.  Our selling expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 reflects a continuation of our re-prioritization of efforts towards lower advertising expenses offset by increased emphasis on the creation of a high performance sales team.   Total selling expenses declined by 27% to $358,082 for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 from $489,170 for the nine months ended July 31, 2009.   The biggest components of the selling expense decrease were cuts of $61,283 in advertising and promotion expense.   Of the remaining decrease in selling expenses, $88,145 comes from a reclassification this year of a portion of our CEO compensation costs into general and administrative expenses.  Small increases in sales compensation costs due to a higher rate of payment on closed transactions and the contracting of a part time consultant to run our MLSDirect operation accounts for the offset to the two decreases mentioned above.      We do expect sales commissions and overall sales compensation costs to continue to increase in coming months as we recently have enacted a more generous sales commission plan that should help us recruit new agents.
 
For the nine months ended July 31, 2010, we incurred $46,965 in interest costs compared to $303,484 for the nine months ended July 31, 2009.    Interest expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 includes $35,053 of accrued interest on a loan from our CEO and $11,912 interest charges passed on from vendors.   For the nine months ended July 31, 2009, we incurred $289,400 in interest expense for our convertible promissory note with Lantern Advisors.  In our prior fiscal year, we also were invoiced $14,084 in interest expense from one of our main vendors bringing the total interest for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 to $303,484.

The loss on change in fair value of derivatives and warrants of $63,708 for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 relates to the convertible promissory note mentioned above.   We settled this note on September 30, 2009.

Assets and Employees; Research and Development
 
Aside from our dedicated team of agents and employees, our primary assets are cash and intellectual-property rights, which are the foundation for our services. As mentioned above, in the current quarter ended July 31, 2010, we were forced to take a $1,251,455 impairment charge against intangible assets acquired in our June 2009 IggysHouse.com asset purchaseAs mentioned above, we re-launched our IggysHouse.com service in January 2010 and believed that the assets we acquired from Iggys, Inc. would be critical to our success.  IggysHouse.com was formerly a web-based online real estate brokerage that had operations in 38 states.   As mentioned above, results thus far have not been satisfactory with only $2,026 in revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2010.

As of July 31, 2010, we revalued the intangible assets for the IggysHouse.com website and database to be only worth $100,000.   We believe this valuation represents a reasonable resale valuation for a self-service online MLS listing service capable of handling hundreds of thousands of listings.

Philosophically, we are now looking to maximize our cash flows and minimize fixed asset investment.  For that reason, prior to the end of fiscal year 2010, we will replace our current Webdigs.com website with a new site that should require significantly less ongoing maintenance costs than our current website.  The website, which will be built to our exact specifications at minimal cost, will not produce any intangible assets but will provide our sales and marketing teams with enhanced capabilities to market our services and serve our consumers.  The existing website will be fully amortized in September 2010 - approximately the same time we will start up with our new website solution.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources; Anticipated Financing Needs

As of July 31, 2010, we had $4,685 of cash and cash equivalents and current liabilities of $1,520,351.  The most significant change in liabilities versus October 31, 2009 has been the increase in the balance due our CEO on the convertible note payable he has with us.   This balance increased by $319,800 to $492,800 as of July 31, 2010.

We used $309,267 of cash in operating activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2010 compared to $298,716 for the nine months ended July 31, 2009.  Cash used in operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 included a net loss of $2,381,236 which was partially offset by $2,023,732 of various non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization, impairment charges, and share-based compensation.  For the nine months ended July 31, 2009, these non-cash items plus some additional non-cash items generated by our convertible promissory note and our joint venture totaled $361,523. For the nine months ended July 31, 2010, we were able to make progress on reducing balances owed to some of our main vendors through a combination of cash payments by Webdigs and vendor forgiveness of a portion of payables.   Offsetting a payables decrease of $108,519 100,615 was an increase of $117,476 in accrued expenses.  The entire increase in accrued expenses as of July 31, 2010 is due to increases in accrued payroll - primarily due to officers of the company.

For the nine months ended July 31, 2010, cash flows used in investing activities included payments of $21,760 for the purchase of website development for the IggysHouse.com website.   For the same period last year, we used $162,733 in cash to purchase the assets of IggysHouse.com and the MLSDiect.com.

7

 
In total, financing activities provided $299,689 and $469,956 for the nine month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.    As mentioned above, an increase in the balance due our CEO accounted for financing cash proceeds of $319,800.  A decrease in the payable to our group of officers (for commissions and business expenses) accounted for a use of $17,001 for the nine months ended July 31, 2010.    In the prior year, proceeds from the convertible/promissory note we issued in December 2008 with Lantern Advisors provided net cash proceeds of $226,000.  We also raised $335,500 in cash from the sale of common stock in the quarter ended July 31, 2009. An additional $11,294 was provided by an increase in balances due company officers.

Given our relatively low cash position, our near term focus for the remaining three months of fiscal 2010 continues to be to create positive operating cash flow from our web-assisted real estate brokerage operations.    While we believe that our year over year revenue growth will rebound in the fourth quarter of our current year, we recognize that we will need to continue to manage our working capital to the absolute most stringent standard possible.   We are presently expanding our efforts to recruit agents and believe that these efforts will be successful.

We also retain our expectation that the growth of our core Webdigs.com brand will provide us with a solid base from which we will be able to raise additional funding in the future.  The repositioning of IggysHouse.com to a new website interface which took place in August 2010 appears promising. We expect that lower Iggys operating expenses and higher Iggys revenues will help us in reaching our goal of generating positive cash flow sometime in fiscal 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our 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, and related disclosures. We evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.   Our significant estimates are 1) determining the life and fair value of our website and customer list intangible assets, 2) determining some of the inputs for our stock option fair value calculation and 3) assessing the valuation allowance for income taxes.

We consider the following accounting policies to be those most important to the portrayal of our results of operations and financial condition:

Revenue Recognition. Our web-assisted real estate brokerage business recognizes revenue at the closing of a real estate transaction. Commissions and rebates due to third party real estate agents or consumers are accrued at the time of closing and treated as an offset to gross revenues.  There is no judgment or estimating in our revenue recognition model.

8

 
Income Taxes. We account for income taxes using an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.  Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements.  Deferred tax amounts are determined using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under currently enacted tax law.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.  We have recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets as of July 31, 2010 and 2009 because realization of those assets is not reasonably assured.

We will recognize a financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit.  For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

Share-Based Compensation. We account for stock incentive plans by measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on fair values, net of estimated forfeitures.  Share-based compensation expense includes compensation costs for restricted stock awards and stock options.  We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted as of the grant date.

Intangible Assets.  We have two types of intangible assets:

Website Development
The primary interface with the customer in our web-assisted real estate brokerage operation is the Webdigs.com website.  Certain costs incurred in development of this website have been capitalized.  Amortization is on a straight-line method over the estimated three year useful life of the website.  We also have incurred costs for the IggysHouse.com website.  Those costs are being amortized on a straight-line method over the estimated two year useful life of the website.

Website Domain Names
The Company capitalizes the fair value of non-compete agreements at the inception of the agreement. Amortization expense is calculated using the straight-line method (which approximates the anticipated revenue stream back to the Company) over the agreement’s estimated 2 year life.

Commissions and Fees Receivable. Fees receivable are recorded at the amount the Company expects to collect on real estate transactions closed.  These receivables represent broker commission balances due the Company from investors/lenders or listing real estate brokers and usually are settled within 10-15 days after closing.

Office Equipment and Fixtures. Office equipment and fixtures are recorded at cost.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. When items of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operating income.

9

 
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

Office equipment
2 to 5 years
Furniture and fixtures
3 to 7 years

Segment Information

Historically, we have reported two strategic operating segments; (1) web-assisted real estate brokerage and (2) mortgage brokerage.  Due to the divestiture of Marquest Financial, Inc. and the dissolution of Marketplace Home Mortgage – Webdigs, LLC in 2009, we have determined that the mortgage segment is no longer significant to our operations and therefore, we now report and operate our business as one strategic reporting segment.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820).  ASU 2010-06 provides additional disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.  Disclosure requirements applicable to Level 3 transactions are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.  The portion of ASU 2010-06 that was effective beginning after December 15, 2009 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. Additionally, the Company does not anticipate that the disclosure requirements applicable to Level 3 transactions that are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 will have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Seasonality of Business

The residential real estate market has traditionally experienced seasonality, with a peak in the spring and summer seasons and a decrease in activity during the fall and winter seasons. We expect revenues in each quarter to be significantly affected by activity during the prior quarter, given the time lag between contract execution and closing.    A typical real estate transaction has a 30 day lag between contract signing and closing of the transaction.  As we look ahead, we expect improved results in our current quarter versus our recent quarter ended July 31, 2010 despite a typical seasonal fall slowdown.

Going Concern

The Company incurred significant operating losses for the nine months ended July 31, 2010. At July 31, 2010, the Company reports a negative working capital position of $1,486,178 and accumulated deficit of $6,179,999.  It is management’s opinion that these facts raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without additional debt or equity financing.

Our consolidated financial statements included do not include any adjustments related to recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts, or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result, should we be unable to continue as a going concern.  Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately depends on achieving profitability, producing revenues or raising additional capital to sustain operations.  Although we intend to obtain additional financing to meet our cash needs, we may be unable to secure any additional financing on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us, if at all.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”))) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation and taking into account that certain material weaknesses existed as of October 31, 2009, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.  As a result of this conclusion, the financial statements for the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were prepared with particular attention to the material weaknesses previously disclosed. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in internal controls that continue to exist as of July 31, 2010, we have concluded that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as required for interim financial statements.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
During the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2010, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management has concluded that the material weaknesses in internal control as described in Item 9A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2009 have not been remediated.  Due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters and the expenses associated with increasing the number of employees to remediate the disclosure control and procedure material weaknesses that have been identified, the Company continued to operate without changes to its internal controls over financial reporting for the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q while continuing to seek the expertise its needs to remediate the material weaknesses.
