Item 1 .    Business

General

We were incorporated in Delaware on May 31, 2000, under our original name, Hosting Site Network, Inc.  On May 12, 2008, we changed our name to Single Touch Systems Inc.  In the periods before the acquisition described in the next sentence, we had no active business operations.  On July 24, 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. (“Interactive”).  Interactive was incorporated in Nevada on April 2, 2002.

We maintain a website located at http://www.singletouch.net, and electronic copies of our periodic and current reports, Proxy Statements for our annual stockholder’s meetings, and any amendments to those reports, are available, free of charge, under the “Company” link on our website as soon as practicable after such material is filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.

We have developed and are deploying a scalable messaging and voice based enterprise level solution.  Our technology enables the delivery of mission-critical messaging across multiple communication channels.  With gateways that connect directly into the infrastructure of all key mobile-network operators, we guarantee delivery and receipt of massive quantities of messages in real time, to and from any application or platform.

Our solution is designed to drive return on investment for high volume clients and/or customized branded advertisers.  Our platform and tools are designed to enable large brands or anyone with substantial reach to utilize the mobile device as a new means to communicate.  Communication might be in the form of a reminder message, a coupon, an advertisement or a voice call.  Regardless of the form, our platform can drive value and cost savings for companies large and small, and the ability to drive contextually relevant advertising messages to the right audience.

Currently, over 90% of our revenues are paid to us through AT&T Services, Inc., and currently the bulk of that revenue comes from notifications sent on behalf of Walmart.  We are primarily a B2B player and/or white label service, and do not seek to have a consumer brand presence for our own name.

Background of Industry Growth and Potential

Cell phone penetration and usage are becoming almost ubiquitous, and business applications utilizing cell phones are growing rapidly.

AT&T Wireless and Verizon Wireless continue to be the dominant US wireless providers.  (AT&T Wireless and Verizon Wireless had 90 million and 92 million subscribers, respectively, at June 30, 2010 1 ).  For many consumers, cellular phones have already made the transition from a communication device to a media-consumption device.  With continuing technological advancements, people are becoming more dependent on their cell phones and less dependent on landlines.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in May 2010 that, as of 2009, 25% of American households (and about half of Americans age 25-29) have cell phones but no landline.

Principal Products and Services

Messaging and Notifications – Our Short Message Service (SMS) gateway offers a hosted messaging platform to SMS-enable any application, website or system.  We enable the immediate capability to deliver and receive messages to and from any application, via our messaging platform.

An example of our solution running today is Walmart.  Walmart pharmacy departments send individualized text messages through our gateway, to their customers letting them know when their prescriptions are ready for pickup.  Potentially, we would be able to not only send customers a reminder but also let them know that a product is on sale, provide product information or product reviews, display inventory levels or enable a click-through connection to customer service.

Abbreviated Dial Codes – Abbreviated Dial Codes (ADCs) enable completion of a mobile call by pushing fewer digits than in a standard telephone number.  (Think of dialing 411 for information.)  We enable ADC programs for enterprises.  Solutions such as #BET, #MTV and #WMT (for Wal-Mart) are examples of such programs.  ADCs are as easy as (indeed, even easier than) making a phone call, can be used on all mobile phones and enable everyone to have access to content, coupons, reviews, connections to customer service, etc.  All of our ADCs begin with the # or * symbol.  A combination such as ## or ** could also be utilized.

We own important patents for ADC or # programs, and are considering ways to protect and/or monetize our intellectual property rights in this area.

We also focus on messaging and notifications in some cases these notifications are accessed by using an ADC.

Material Agreements

Our business agreements consist primarily of customer agreements and carrier agreements.  Customer agreements are typically agreements with companies which have sales relationships with the end users of the transacted media content or service application.  These agreements typically involve a split of the fees received between the brand owner and us or a fixed fee per transaction.  Carrier agreements are infrastructure in nature and establish the connection to the end user that enables us to deliver and collect payment for the transacted media content or service application.  Carrier agreements typically involve a split of the fees received between the carrier and us.

Our services agreement with AT&T Services, Inc., as amended, provides among other things that we shall provision, implement and maintain the ADC Registry Program to be licensed for use by AT&T for the purpose of marketing and promoting customer retail locations and other programs.  AT&T may terminate the agreement at any time on upon proper written notice as provided in the agreement.

Research and Development

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 we spent $528,166 and $784,207, respectively, on software development which was capitalized.  Software development costs amortized and charged to operations in fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 were $438,445 and $657,055, respectively.  In addition, in fiscal 2010 we charged off $218,776 in development costs we deemed impaired.

Our research and development activities relate primarily to general coding of software and product development.  These activities consist of both new products and support or improvements to existing products.  Certain of our

research and development resources are dedicated to improving our ADC programs while others are dedicated to refining our mobile notification and couponing products.

We believe that we may need to increase our current level of dedicated research and development resources by adding both hardware and engineers.

Government Regulation

We provide value added and enabling platforms for carrier based distribution of various software and media content, as well as notifications and other communications.  Applicable regulations are primarily under the Federal Communications Commission and related to the operations policies and procedures of the wireless communications carriers.  The wireless carriers are primarily responsible for regulatory compliance.  Given the growing and dynamic evolution of digital wireless products that can be offered to consumers over a wireless communication network, regulators could impose rules, requirements and standards of conduct on third party content and infrastructure providers such as us.  We are not currently aware of any pending regulations that would materially impact our operations.

Employees

We currently have 13 full time and no part-time employees including our chief executive officer, 7 persons serving as programmers and technical staff operators, 3 persons in sales and marketing, 1 persons in finance and 1 administrative assistant.  We expect to increase our future employee levels on an as needed basis in connection with our expected growth.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.  You should consider the risks described below and the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K carefully before deciding to invest in our common stock.  If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed.  As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose a part or all of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We currently rely on brand owners, and especially Walmart, to use our programs to satisfy their communication needs and thereby to indirectly generate our revenues from wireless carriers.  The loss of or a change in any of these significant relationships could materially reduce our revenues.

Both are present and our future depend heavily on our relationship with Walmart.  We must retain our current business there and expand the relationship into augmented programs, both for its own sake and as a reference point for possible similar business with other retailers and brand owners.  Our relationship with Walmart is subject to risk based on factors such as performance, reliability, pricing, competition, alternate technological solutions and changes in interpersonal relationships.

We currently rely on wireless carriers, and especially AT&T, to market and distribute our products and services and to generate our revenues.  The loss of or a change in any of these significant carrier relationships could cause us to lose access to their subscribers and thus materially reduce our revenues.

Our future success is highly dependent upon maintaining successful relationships with wireless carriers.  A significant portion of our revenue has always been derived from a very limited number of carriers, and currently over 90% of our revenues are paid to us through AT&T Services, Inc.  We expect that we will continue to generate a substantial majority of our revenues through distribution relationships with a limited number of carriers for the foreseeable future.  Our failure to maintain our relationships with these carriers would materially reduce our revenues and thus harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Typically, carrier agreements have a term of one or two years with automatic renewal provisions upon expiration of the initial term, absent a contrary notice from either party.  In addition, some carrier agreements, including our

 

 

 

3

Table of Contents

 

 

key agreement with AT&T Services, Inc., provide that the carrier can terminate the agreement early and, in some instances, at any time without cause, which could give them the ability to renegotiate economic or other terms.  The agreements generally do not obligate the carriers to market or distribute any of our products or services.  In many of these agreements, we warrant that our products do not violate community standards, do not contain libelous content, do not contain material defects or viruses, and do not violate third-party intellectual property rights and we indemnify the carrier for any breach of a third party’s intellectual property.

Many other factors outside our control could impair our ability to generate revenues through a given carrier, including the following:

●

the carrier’s preference for our competitors’ products and services rather than ours;

 

●

the carrier’s decision to discontinue the sale of some or all of our products and services;

 

●

the carrier’s decision to offer similar products and services to its subscribers without charge or at reduced prices;

 

●

the carrier’s decision to restrict or alter subscription or other terms for downloading our products and services;

 

●

a failure of the carrier’s merchandising, provisioning or billing systems;

 

●

the carrier’s decision to offer its own competing products and services;

 

●

the carrier’s decision to transition to different platforms and revenue models; and

 

●

consolidation among carriers.

 

If any of our carriers decides not to market or distribute our products and services or decides to terminate, not renew or modify the terms of its agreement with us or if there is consolidation among carriers generally, we may be unable to replace the affected agreement with acceptable alternatives, causing us to lose access to that carrier’s subscribers and the revenues they afford us, which could materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

We may be unable to develop and introduce in a timely way new products or services.

The planned timing and introduction of new products and services are subject to risks and uncertainties.  Unexpected technical, operational, deployment, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of new products and services, which could result in a loss of, or delay in, revenues.

We may need to raise additional capital to meet our business requirements in the future and such capital raising may be costly or difficult to obtain and could dilute current stockholders’ ownership interests.

We may need to raise additional capital in the future, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all.  The raising of additional capital may dilute our current stockholders’ ownership interests.  Our present income from operations is insufficient to achieve our business plan.  We may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings to meet various objectives including, but not limited to:

●

pursuing growth opportunities, including more rapid expansion;

 

●

acquiring complementary businesses;

 

●

making capital improvements to improve our infrastructure;

Table of Contents

 

 

●

hiring qualified management and key employees;

 

●

developing new services, programming or products;

 

●

responding to competitive pressures;

 

●

complying with regulatory requirements such as licensing and registration; and

 

●

maintaining compliance with applicable laws.

 

Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity backed securities may dilute current stockholders’ ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the fair market value of our equity securities.  The terms of those securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect.

Furthermore, any additional debt or equity financing that we may need may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all.  If we are unable to obtain required additional capital, we may have to curtail our growth plans or cut back on existing business and, further, we may not be able to continue operating if we do not generate sufficient revenues from operations needed to stay in business.

We may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs.  We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our reported financial results.

We may not be able to effectively manage our growth.

Our strategy envisions growing our business.  Even if we do grow, if we fail to effectively manage our growth our financial results could be adversely affected.  Growth may place a strain on our management systems and resources.  We must continue to refine and expand our business development capabilities, our systems and processes and our access to financing sources.  As we grow, we must continue to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to:

●

meet our capital needs;

 

●

expand our systems effectively or efficiently or in a timely manner;

 

●

allocate our human resources optimally; or

 

●

identify and hire qualified employees or retain valued employees.

 

If we are unable to manage our growth and our operations our financial results could be adversely affected.

Our management ranks are thin, and losing or failing to add key personnel could affect our ability to successfully grow our business.

Our future performance depends substantially on the continued service of our senior management and other key personnel, including personnel which we need to hire.  In particular, our success depends upon the continued efforts of our management personnel, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Macaluso, and other members of the senior management team.  We need to identify and hire additional senior managers to perform key tasks and roles.

Our inability to adequately protect or monetize our proprietary technology could adversely affect our business.

Our proprietary technology is one of the keys to our performance and ability to remain competitive.  We rely on a combination of patent, copyright and trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights.  We also use technical measures, confidentiality agreements and non-compete agreements to protect our proprietary rights.

 

We rely on copyright laws and/or trade secret laws to protect the source code for our proprietary software.  We generally enter into agreements with our employees and consultants and limit access to and distribution of our software, documentation and other proprietary information.  The steps we take to protect our proprietary information may not prevent misappropriation of our technology, and the agreements we enter into for that purpose might not be enforceable.  A third party might obtain and use our software or other proprietary information without authorization or develop similar software independently.  It is difficult for us to police the unauthorized use of our technology, particularly because the global nature of the Internet makes it difficult to control the ultimate destination or security of software or other transmitted data.  The laws of other countries may not provide us with adequate or effective protection of our intellectual property.

In fact, we believe competitors our violating some of our patents.  We believe this is damaging our business.  Due to our limited resources, it may be risky or difficult for us to undertake legal actions to enjoin violations of our patent rights and/or compel compensation for use of those rights.  If we are required to contract with third parties who would take on some of this enforcement risk, there would be no assurance of success and, even in the event of success, the third party would require a financial return to compensate it for its enforcement efforts and contributions.

Competitors might be able to work around our patents and our other intellectual property.

Applicable rules, including those contained in and issued under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, may be burdensome to us and/or make it difficult for us to retain or attract qualified officers and directors, which could adversely affect the management of our business.

We may be unable to attract and retain those qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management because of the rules and regulations that govern publicly held companies.  The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in the issuance of a series of rules and regulations and the strengthening of existing rules and regulations by the SEC, as well as the adoption of new and more stringent rules by national securities exchanges.  The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting roles as directors and executive officers.

Further, some of these recent changes heighten the requirements for board or committee membership, particularly with respect to an individual’s independence from the corporation and level of experience in finance and accounting matters.  We may have difficulty attracting and retaining directors with the requisite qualifications.  If we are unable to attract and retain qualified officers and directors, the management of our business and our ability to obtain or retain listing of our shares of common stock on any national securities exchange (assuming we elect to seek and are successful in obtaining such listing) could be adversely affected.

We are subject to competition.

We have many actual and potential competitors, almost all of whom have more financial, personnel, intellectual property and/or reputational resources than we do.  If we and our business do not grow larger, we will not be able to enjoy the economies of scale that many of our competitors do.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or detect fraud.  Consequently, investors could lose confidence in our financial reporting and this may decrease the trading price of our stock.

We must maintain effective internal controls to provide reliable financial reports and detect fraud.  We will be assessing our internal controls to identify areas that need improvement.  Failure to implement any required changes to our internal controls or any others that we identify as necessary to maintain an effective system of internal controls could harm our operating results and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information.  Any such loss of confidence would have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

Also, and in any event, Sarbanes-Oxley Act requirements regarding internal control over financial reporting are costly to implement and maintain, and such costs are relatively more burdensome for smaller companies such as us than for larger companies.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY

If wireless subscribers do not continue to use their mobile handsets to access mobile content and other applications, our business growth and future revenues may be adversely affected.

We operate in a developing industry.  Our success depends on growth in the number of wireless subscribers who use their handsets to receive information and access data services and, in particular, applications of the type we develop and distribute.  New or different mobile applications developed by our current or future competitors may be preferred by subscribers to our offerings.  In addition, other mobile platforms may become widespread, and end users may choose to switch to these platforms.  If the market for our products and services does not continue to grow or we are unable to acquire new end users, our business growth and future revenues could be adversely affected.

System or network failures could reduce our sales, increase costs or result in a loss of end users of our products and services.

Mobile content delivery relies on wireless carrier networks to deliver products and services to end users.  In certain circumstances, mobile content distributors may also rely on their own servers to deliver products on demand to end users through their carriers’ networks.  In addition, certain products require access over the mobile Internet to our servers in order to enable certain features.  Any failure of, or technical problem with, carriers’, third parties’ or billing systems, delivery or information systems, or communications networks could result in the inability of end users to receive communications or download our products, prevent the completion of a billing transaction, or interfere with access to some aspects of our products.  If any of these systems fails or if there is an interruption in the supply of power, an earthquake, fire, flood or other natural disaster, or an act of war or terrorism, end users might be unable to access our offerings.  For example, from time to time, our carriers have experienced failures with their billing and delivery systems and communication networks, including gateway failures that reduced the provisioning capacity of their branded e-commerce system.  Any failure of, or technical problem with, the carriers’, other third parties’ or our systems could cause us to lose end users or revenues or incur substantial repair costs and distract management from operating our business, or persuade retailers or brand owners that solutions utilizing our programs are not sufficiently reliable.  This, in turn, could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our business depends on the growth and maintenance of wireless communications infrastructure.

Our success will depend on the continued growth and maintenance of wireless communications infrastructure in the United States and internationally.  This includes deployment and maintenance of reliable next-generation digital networks with the speed, data capacity and security necessary to provide reliable wireless communications services.  We have no control over this.  Wireless communications infrastructure may be unable to support the demands placed on it if the number of subscribers continues to increase, or if existing or future subscribers increase their bandwidth requirements.  Wireless communications have experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of infrastructure and equipment failures, and could face outages and delays in the future.  These outages and delays could reduce the level of wireless communications usage as well as our ability to distribute our products and services successfully.  In addition, changes by a wireless carrier to network infrastructure may interfere with downloads and may cause end users to lose functionality.  This could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in mobile handsets or wireless networks could adversely affect our revenues.

Maintaining the security of mobile handsets and wireless networks is critical for our business.  There are individuals and groups who develop and deploy viruses, worms and other illicit code or malicious software programs that may attack wireless networks and handsets.  Security experts have identified computer “worm” programs that target handsets running on certain operating systems.  Although these worms have not been widely released and do not

present an immediate risk to our business, we believe future threats could lead some end users to seek to reduce or delay future purchases of our products or reduce or delay the use of their handsets, or persuade retailers or brand owners that solutions utilizing our programs are not sufficiently reliable.  Wireless carriers and handset manufacturers may also increase their expenditures on protecting their wireless networks and mobile phone products from attack, which could delay adoption of new handset models.  Any of these activities could adversely affect our revenues and this could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

It is possible that laws and regulations may be adopted in the United States and elsewhere that could restrict the media and wireless communications industries, including laws and regulations regarding customer privacy, taxation, content suitability, copyright, distribution and antitrust.  Such news laws and regulations, if any, might be adverse to our business interest.  Furthermore, the growth and development of the market for electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws that may impose additional burdens on companies such as ours conducting business through wireless carriers.  We anticipate that regulation of our industry will increase and that we will be required to devote legal and other resources to address this regulation.  Changes in current laws or regulations or the imposition of new laws and regulations in the United States or elsewhere regarding the media and wireless communications industries may lessen the growth of wireless communications services and may materially reduce our ability to increase or maintain sales of our products and services.

We may experience unexpected expenses or delays in service enhancements if we are unable to license third-party technology on commercially reasonable terms.

We rely on technology that we license from third parties, and may find a need to license additional technology in the future.  These third-party technology licenses might not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.  If we are unable to obtain or maintain these licenses on favorable terms, or at all, we could experience delays in completing and developing our products and services.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

Our common stock is not traded on any national securities exchange.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and is not heavily traded, which may increase price quotation volatility and could limit the liquidity of the common stock, all of which may adversely affect the market price of the common stock and our ability to raise additional capital.

Trading in our stock over the last 12 months has been limited, so investors may not be able to sell as much stock as they want at prevailing prices.

The average daily trading volume in our common stock for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2010 was approximately 75,000 shares.  If limited trading in our stock continues, it may be difficult for investors to sell or buy substantial quantities of shares in the public market at any given time at prevailing prices.

Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of “penny stocks” limits the trading and liquidity of the common stock which may affect the trading price of the common stock.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and trades below $5.00 per share; therefore, the common stock is considered a “penny stock” and subject to SEC rules and regulations which impose limitations upon the manner in which such shares may be publicly traded.  These regulations require the delivery, before any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks.  Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination regarding such a purchaser and receive such purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction before sale.  In addition, margin regulations prevent low-priced stocks such as ours from being used as collateral for brokers’ margin loans to investors.  These regulations have the effect of limiting the trading activity of the common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock.

The price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile, which could lead to losses by investors and costly securities litigation.

The trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be volatile and could fluctuate in response to factors such as:

●

actual or anticipated variations in our operating results and prospects;

 

●

announcements of technological innovations by us or our competitors;

 

●

announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

 

●

additions or departures of key personnel;

 

●

Introduction of new services by us or our competitors;

 

●

sales of our common stock or other securities in the open market; and

 

●

other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.

 

The stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies, and in particular the market prices of stock in smaller companies and technology companies have been highly volatile.  In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been initiated against the company.  Litigation initiated against us, whether or not successful, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business and financial condition.

We do not expect any cash dividends to be paid on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid a cash dividend on our common stock, and we do not anticipate such a declaration or payment for the foreseeable future.  We expect to use future earnings, if any, to fund business growth.  Consequently, stockholders’ only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment is if the price of our common stock appreciates and they sell their shares at a profit.  We cannot assure stockholders of a positive return on their investment when they sell their shares, nor can we assure that stockholders will not lose the entire amount of their investment.

Securities analysts may not initiate coverage or continue to cover our common stock and this may have a negative impact on its market price.

Common stock prices are often significantly influenced by the research and reports that securities analysts publish about companies and their business.  We do not have any control over these analysts.  There is no guarantee that securities analysts will cover our common stock.  If securities analysts do not cover our common stock, the lack of research coverage may adversely affect its market price.  If we are covered by securities analysts, and our stock is downgraded, our stock price would likely decline.  If one or more of these analysts ceases to cover us or fails to publish regular reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

You may experience dilution of your ownership interests because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock and our preferred stock.

We have aggressively issued common stock and other equity-based securities in support of our business objectives and initiatives.  In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders.  We are currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 205,000,000 shares of capital stock consisting of 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares

of preferred stock with preferences and rights to be determined by our Board of Directors.  As of September 30, 2010, there were 123,176,892 shares of common stock outstanding, 8,675,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and 40,979,123 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of outstanding warrants and convertible notes.  The holders of such options, warrants, and convertible securities can be expected to exercise (convert) them at a time when our common stock is trading at a price higher than the exercise (conversion) price of these outstanding options, warrants, and convertible securities.  If these options or warrants to purchase our common stock are exercised, convertible debt is converted or other equity interests are granted under our 2008 or 2009 stock plans, or under other plans or agreements adopted in the future, such equity interests will have a dilutive effect on your ownership of common stock.  We may also issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes.  Such securities may be issued at below-market prices or, in any event, prices that are significantly lower than the price at which you may have paid for your shares.  The future issuance of any such securities may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock.

We are controlled by our Chief Executive Officer/major stockholder Anthony Macaluso.

Anthony Macaluso, our Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns approximately 38% of our outstanding common stock, on a Rule 13d-3 basis.  Such concentrated control of the Company may adversely affect the price of our common stock.  Because of his high percentage of beneficial ownership, and his positions as an officer and director, Mr. Macaluso may be able to control matters requiring the vote of stockholders, including the election of our board of directors and certain other significant corporate actions.  This control could delay, defer or prevent others from initiating a potential merger, takeover or other change in our control, even if these actions would benefit our other stockholders and us.  This control could adversely affect the voting and other rights of our stockholders and could depress the market price of our common stock.  If you acquire common stock, you may have no effective voice in the management of the Company.

Our income statements are heavily influenced by non-cash charges, which may negatively influence investors’ view of us.

Investors like companies which report income statement profits (or relatively small net losses), and do not like companies which report large losses on their income statements.  In recent years our income statements’ reported losses have been increased by large non-cash charges such as those for non-employee stock-based compensation, employee stock-based compensation, net loss on settlement of indebtedness (with below-market stock issuances), and changes in the fair value of derivative liability.  This could make it more difficult for some investors to easily understand our operations and the situation of our business, especially if they prefer to use traditional stock valuation metrics and multiples; and it could cause some investors to disregard us or to view us negatively.  This could affect the demand for our stock, and adversely affect our stock price.  It is possible that we will take actions which result in such charges on our future statements of income; but whether or not we do, the past instances of charges will continue to be reflected in the current-period-versus-past-period comparisons which are used in our SEC reports and by investors and analysts.

Even though we are not a California corporation, our common stock could still be subject to a number of key provisions of the California General Corporation Law.

Under Section 2115 of the California General Corporation Law, or CGCL, non-listed corporations not organized under California law may still be subject to a number of key provisions of the CGCL.  This determination is based on whether the corporation has specific significant business contacts with California and if more than 50% of its voting securities are held of record by persons having addresses in California.  In the immediate future, arguably a majority of the business operations, revenue and payroll will be conducted in, derived from, and paid to residents of California.  Therefore, we could be subject to certain provisions of the CGCL.  Among the more important provisions are those relating to the election and removal of directors, cumulative voting, standards of liability and indemnification of directors, distributions, dividends and repurchases of shares, shareholder meetings, approval of certain corporate transactions, dissenters’ rights, and inspection of corporate records.

Alameda Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012.  We have a revised informal month-to-month lease for the servers, certain other equipment, fixtures and furniture, an analytics platform and other software, and certain service accounts, beginning July 1, 2010, at a rate of $7,500 per month.  The lessor is Soapbox Media, Inc., which is majority-owned by Anthony Macaluso, our chief executive officer.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings

In July 2010, our wholly owned subsidiary Single Touch Interactive, Inc. was sued for breach of contract by Panzarella Consulting, LLC in the United States District Court for Nevada.  Panzarella Consulting, LLC alleges that between September 2008 and January 2009, it sought to exercise Warrants issued by Interactive in 2005 to receive common stock in the Company, and seeks damages for the difference between the claimed exercise price and the price our stock was trading for at the time of the alleged exercise of the Warrants.  We have no record of Panzarella Consulting, LLC, during that time period, tendering the Warrants, the required Form(s) of Subscription, or the payment that would be required to exercise the Warrants.  There is no net-exercise alternative in said Warrants.  In addition, we believe Panzarella Consulting transferred the Warrants in 2007.  We filed a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and on December 16, 2010 the motion, dismissing the case, was granted.

From time to time we may be named in claims arising in the ordinary course of business.  Currently, no additional legal proceedings or claims are pending against or involve us that, in the opinion of management, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Overview

For several years before July 24, 2008, we existed as a “shell company” with nominal assets.  On July 24, 2008, we acquired all of the shares of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. in exchange for our issuance of an aggregate of 42,967,554 shares of our common stock; in addition, we assumed the obligation to issue up to 48,027,433 common shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of warrants and convertible notes which had been issued by Single Touch Interactive, Inc.  The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger (recapitalization) with Single Touch Interactive, Inc. deemed to be the accounting acquirer, and Single Touch Systems Inc. the legal acquirer.

Throughout our history our operations have been constrained by our ability to raise funds, and our liquidity has been an ongoing issue.  We have received debt and equity investments both from insiders and from private investors.  We have always had negative cash flows from operations and net operating losses, although the size of the net operating losses has been magnified by a variety of non-cash accounting charges.  We believe, however, that recent events have significantly improved our liquidity.

Currently, over 90% of our revenues are paid to us through AT&T Services, Inc., and currently the bulk of that revenue comes from notifications sent on behalf of Walmart.  We have seen continuing development of revenue beginning in the second quarter of our 2010 fiscal year and continuing into our first quarter of 2011 through our Walmart related programs we have developed with Walmart and AT&T over the past two years; as these programs and related services continue the rollout nationwide we anticipate this continuing increase of activity will indirectly cause our AT&T revenues to grow.

We have recently received approval to deploy advertisements with our notification messaging programs and are working towards implementation.  This development is significant in that our per message revenue increases significantly for each notification that includes an advertisement.  This additional revenue element subject to deployment is applicable to existing messaging.  Therefore, advertising deployment would benefit from existing traffic and continuing increases in notification messaging volume.  We see this as an important next step towards our roadmap of creating consumer and brand awareness and confidence on how to utilize our mobile media platform accessing mobile notifications, advertisements, coupons and commerce transactions all from the mobile phone.

We have developed and are deploying a scalable messaging and voice based enterprise level solution.  Our technology enables the delivery of mission-critical messaging across multiple communication channels.  With gateways that connect directly into the infrastructure of all key mobile-network operators, we guarantee delivery and receipt of massive quantities of messages in real time, to and from any application or platform.

Our solution is designed to drive return on investment for high volume clients and/or customized branded advertisers.  Our platform and tools are designed to enable large brands or anyone with substantial reach to utilize the mobile device as a new means to communicate.  Communication might be in the form of a reminder message, a coupon, an advertisement or a voice call.  Regardless of the form, our platform can drive value and cost savings for companies large and small, and the ability to drive contextually relevant advertising messages to the right audience.

Our business has focused on leveraging our solution in the areas of messaging/notifications and Abbreviated Dial Codes.

As we expand operational activities, we may continue to experience operating losses and/or negative cash flows from operations and may be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations.

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 our stage of development. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving business model and the management of growth.  To address these risks we must, among other things, diversify our 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.

Results of Operations

Years Ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009

During the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, we had revenues of $0.8 million and experienced a net operating loss of $4.7 million and a net loss of $12.2 million.

During the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, we had revenues of $.08 million and experienced a net operating loss of $22.3 million and a net loss of $13.5 million.

The major difference in our net operating loss for the respective fiscal years was the $17.7 million decrease in our operating expenses to $5.5 million in fiscal 2010 as compared to $23.2 million in fiscal 2009.  The decrease in operating expenses in 2010 over 2009 was primarily driven by a $11.5 million decrease in non-employee stock-based compensation ($1.2 million versus $12.7 million) and the decrease in impairment loss of $5.4 million ( $0.2 million versus $5.6 million).  Almost all the $12.7 million of non-employee stock-based compensation in fiscal 2009 is for non-cash amortization of the original valuation of compensatory warrants we issued in October 2008 to Peltz Capital Management, LLC.  In addition, we decreased our employee salaries in 2010 as compared to 2009 by $0.4 million ($1.1 million versus $1.5 million).

Our net loss was $1.3 million lower in fiscal 2010 than in fiscal 2009 ($12.2 million versus $13.5 million).  The difference lies in two non-operating items.  In fiscal 2010 we recognized a loss on the cancellation of debt totaling $2.8 million.  Of the $2.8 million loss, $0.09 million was recognized on the issuance of 612,500 shares of our common stock for past due professional services totaling $.4 million, $1.8 million was recognized on the issuance of 3.03 million shares of our common stock in cancellation of $1.12 million of notes payable, and $0.9 million was recognized through the issuance of 1 million shares of our common stock to a note holder in complete settlement of the debt due it.  The other non-operating item that affected our net loss was the change in the fair market value of our derivative liability relating to the Peltz warrants.  The net change in value in 2010 compared to 2009 was a negative $13 million.  The Company recognized a loss of $4 million on the net change in the fair value of the derivative liability during 2010 and recognized a net gain of $9 million on the net change in the fair value of the derivative liability in 2009.  Our derivative liability pertains to our requirement to register the underlying shares associated with this warrant grant pursuant to ASC Topic 815-40, formerly EITF Issue No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.”  We value the warrant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.  When the price of our stock goes down, the value of our derivative liability goes down, decreasing net loss (although not affecting cash).

Also, our interest expense increased $0.3 million to only $0.8 million in fiscal 2010, from $0.4 million in fiscal 2009.  The major difference in interest expense pertained to the non-cash amortization of the beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) inherent in $0.5 million of convertible debt we issued to non-affiliates in fiscal 2010; there was no BCF amortization in fiscal 2009.  We also recognized a BCF relating to the convertible debt due to our President and a company affiliated with him, but we charge the amortization of that BCF to equity because the underlying debt is due to a related party.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2010, we had total assets of $6.5 million and total liabilities of $1 million; while at September 30, 2009, we had total assets of $2.4 million (although that included $1.1 million which was the unamortized portion of the fair value of the warrants issued in October 2008 to our special advisor that was classified to prepaid expense) and total liabilities of $11 million.  The fair value of the warrant had been completely amortized by the date of the June 30, 2010 balance sheet.  Also, of our total liabilities at September 30, 2009 of $11 million, $4.7 million pertained to the derivative liability on the above indicated warrant.

Our cash balance increased by $3.8 million during the 12 months ended September 30, 2010.

Table of Contents

From September 2009 through January 2010, we raised $1.8 million by issuing approximately 5.6 million shares of common stock and 6.25 million common stock warrants (exercisable for $1.00 or $1.50 per share cash) to Mike Robert.

In January 2010 we raised approximately $0.5 million by issuing approximately 1.5 million shares of common stock and approximately 0.5 million common stock warrants (exercisable for $1.50 per share cash) to Zanett Opportunity Fund Ltd. and its affiliates. We paid a $25,000 placement agent fee in connection therewith.

From January through May 2010, we raised approximately $3.6 million by issuing approximately 9.7 million shares of common stock to 38 accredited investors.  We compensated our placement agent, Gar Wood Securities, LLC, and its affiliates, with approximately 0.1 million common stock warrants and approximately $0.1 million cash in connection therewith. (We also had issued 1.0 million common stock warrants to that firm in January 2010 upon the inception of our relationship with it.) In addition, we compensated our placement agent Financial West Investment Group, Inc., and its affiliates, with approximately 55,000 common stock warrants and approximately $29,000 cash in connection therewith.

 

Also, in July 2010, we raised $6.2 million by issuing approximately 8.2 million shares of common stock and approximately 2.1 million common stock warrants (exercisable for $1.00 per share cash until July 2013) to 24 accredited investors.  The offering was structured as the sale of approximately 2.1 million detachable units (each consisting of four shares and one warrant) at $3.00 per unit.  We compensated our placement agent in the offering, Gar Wood Securities, LLC, and its affiliates, with approximately 0.2 million of the common stock warrants and approximately $0.2 million cash.

We also resolved a significant amount of outstanding debt in and shortly before fiscal 2010.

In September 2009, an individual investor converted a $0.5 million convertible note, which we had issued to him in August 2009, into common shares at a rate of $0.95 per share.

In March 2010 we issued a $0.5 million convertible note and 1.0 million common stock warrants to Mike Robert in exchange for a $0.5 million, but in August 2010 he converted the note into common shares at a rate of $0.37 per share.

In March and May 2010, we repaid the final $0.8 million (plus accrued interest) of our 2008 secured loan from Fort Ashford Funds, LLC. (In addition, we issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Fort Ashford Funds, LLC in September 2010 in connection with a settlement agreement.)

In June 2010, approximately $3.0 million of obligations owed to Anthony Macaluso, his affiliate, Activate, Inc., director James Cassina and others were converted into common shares.  Also in June 2010, we modified approximately $0.8 million of indebtedness to Anthony Macaluso and his affiliate Activate, Inc. by extending its due date to June 27, 2011 at a reduced interest rate of 1% per annum, and with a conversion price of $0.37 per share.

Our only outstanding indebtedness now is the approximately $0.8 million of indebtedness to Anthony Macaluso and his affiliate Activate, Inc., with a due date of June 27, 2011, an interest rate of 1% per annum, and a conversion price of $0.37 per share.

The future of our liquidity/capital resources position will hinge on how soon, if ever, our operations become profitable.

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.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.  We have identified the following accounting policies that we believe are key to an understanding of ours financial statements.  These are important accounting policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.

Under the terms of various service and licensing agreements, we receive 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.  We record our revenue pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-45, formerly EITF Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.”

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 are 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 ACS Topic 505-50, formerly EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”, and formerly 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 vendor’s 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 with ACS Topic 505, 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 grantor’s 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.

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 ACS Topic 470-20, formerly EITF Issue No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency Adjustable Conversion Ratio,” and formerly 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.

Software Development Costs

We account for our software development costs in accordance with ACS Topic 985-20, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, “Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Under ACS Topic 985-20, 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 the expected useful life of the software, which is generally two years.

Fair Value Measurement

We adopted ACS Topic 820-10, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, at the beginning of fiscal year 2009 to measure the fair value of certain of our financial assets and liabilities required to be measured on a recurring basis.  The adoption of Topic 820-10 did not impact our consolidated financial position or results of operations.  Topic 820-10 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).  Topic 820-10 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 Topic 820-10 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.  We have no Level 1 assets or liabilities.

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.

We have no Level 2 assets.  Our Level 2 liabilities consist of notes payable, convertible debentures and a derivative warrant liability.  We determine the fair value of notes payable and convertible debentures based on the effective yields of similar obligations.  We determine the fair value of our derivative warrant liability based upon the trading prices of our common stock on the date of issuance and when applicable, on the last day of the quarter.  We use the Black-Scholes Option Model in valuing the fair value of our derivative warrant liability.

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.  We have no Level 3 assets or liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (ASU 2010-22), “Accounting for Various Topics.”   This update amends various SEC paragraphs in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification based on external comments received and the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 112 which amends or rescinds portion of certain SAB topics. SAB 112 was issued to bring existing SEC guidance into conformity with ASC 805 “Business Combination” and ASC 810 “Consolidation” .  The adoption of this update did not have any material impact on our financial statements.

In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-21 (ASU 2010-21), “Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Release No. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies.” The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-21 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-20 (ASU 2010-20), “ Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses .”  The amendments in this Update are to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about an entity’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables.  The disclosures about activity that occurs during the reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-20 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-19 (ASU 2010-19), “ Foreign Currency (Topic 830): Multiple Foreign Currency Exchange Rates .”  The amendments in this Update are effective for reported balances in an entity’s financial statements that differ from their underlying U.S. dollar denominated values under Subtopic 830-30-S99-1 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after March 15, 2010.  The amendments are to be applied retrospectively.  The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-19 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17, “ Revenue Recognition – Milestone Method (Topic 605) .”  ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on applying the milestone method of revenue recognition in arrangements with research and development activities.  We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our revenue recognition when adopted for our 2011 fiscal year.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-13, “ Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades .”  ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition.  Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity.  The amendments in ASU 2010-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  The adoption of ASU 2010-13 will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-11, “ Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives .”  The amendments in this Update are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010.  Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after issuance of this Update.  We do not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-11 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-10 (ASU 2010-10), “ Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments for Certain Investment Funds .”  The amendments in this Update are effective as of the beginning of a reporting entity’s first annual period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first reporting period.  Early application is not permitted. Our adoption of provisions of ASU 2010-10 did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-09 “ Subsequent Events (ASC Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements .”  ASU 2010-09 requires an entity that is an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued and removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date, in both issued and revised financial statements, through which the filer had evaluated subsequent events.  The adoption did not have an impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, “ Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements .”  ASU 2010-06 amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification 820 and clarifies and provides additional disclosure requirements related to recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements and employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets.  This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

None.

Item 9A.    Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2010. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

We have made the determination that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, due to the small scale of our operations, we anticipate that when operational activities expand it will be necessary to add additional controls and procedures to ensure effectiveness.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company. Our control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; that receipts and expenditures are being made only with proper authorizations of management and directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
