Forward-Looking
Statements
Certain
portions of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB contain “forward-looking
statements”. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance
or achievements of The Children’s Internet, Inc. (the Company) to be materially
different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements, including that the Company’s lack of
revenue is not necessarily indicative of its future revenue levels or future
financial performance. The Company’s future operating results are dependent upon
many factors, including but not limited to: (i) whether the Company is able
to
obtain sufficient funding to fund its operations and business; (ii) whether
the
Company is able to build the management and human resources and infrastructure
necessary to support the growth of its business; (iii) competitive factors
and
developments in the industry in which the Company competes; (iv) intellectual
property protection; and (v) any economic conditions that would negatively
affect the Company’s business and expansion plans.
ITEM

DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS.
Business
Development
We
were
incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 25, 1996 as D.W.C.
Installations, Inc. We changed our name to The Children’s Internet, Inc. on
December 27, 2002. We are a development stage company and currently have no
significant revenues, no marketing budget, only minimal assets, and have
incurred losses since our inception.
On
July
3, 2002, Shadrack Films, Inc. (“Shadrack”) purchased 2,333,510 newly issued
post-split shares of our common stock for $150,000, thereby obtaining a majority
ownership interest in the company. Our Chief Executive Officer and one of our
directors, Sholeh Hamedani, is the sole officer, director and shareholder of
Shadrack.
On
September 10, 2002, we entered into a Wholesale Sales & Marketing Agreement
with Two Dog Net, Inc., a related party. This Wholesale Sales and Marketing
Agreement gives us the exclusive worldwide right to market, sell, and distribute
The Children’s Internet® service and wholesale dial-up Internet service of Two
Dog Net, Inc. We agreed to pay Two Dog Net a per user charge of $3.00 per month
for each subscriber accessing The Children’s Internet® service. The Wholesale
Sales & Marketing Agreement has a term of five years and renews for
additional five year terms automatically unless either we or Two Dog Net give
written notice of termination of the agreement not less than one year before
the
end of any five year term. Two Dog Net did not give written notice to terminate
the contract one year prior to the expiration of the initial five year term,
therefore the licensing agreement was automatically renewed for an additional
five years expiring in 2013.
In
February 2005, we amended the Wholesale Sales & Marketing Agreement reducing
the per user charge from $3.00 to $1.00 paid per month. In consideration for
this decrease, on February 15, 2005, the Company granted Two Dog Net, or its
designees an option (the “Option”) to acquire up to 18,000,000 post-split shares
of our restricted common stock at a price of $0.07 per share, exercisable in
whole or in part at any time for five years from the date of grant. The Option
also provides for “piggy back’ registration rights for all shares underlying the
Option on any registration statement filed by the Company for a period of one
year following any exercise of the Option.
Our
Chief
Executive Officer, and one of our directors, Sholeh Hamedani, was President
of
Two Dog Net until she resigned on August 1, 2002. Ms. Hamedani, a co-founder,
currently owns approximately 10% of the total outstanding shares of common
stock
of Two Dog Net. Ms. Hamedani’s father, Nasser Hamedani, is the current
President, Chairman and majority shareholder of Two Dog Net. See Item 12,
“Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”
Principal
products or services and their markets
The
Children’s Internet
Ò
offers
access to pre-selected and pre-approved educational and entertaining age
appropriate web pages as well as secure e-mail, homework help, games, news,
super portals to learning activities and educational resources all within
a
protected online environment. We believe that the proprietary security software,
SafeZone Technology®, offers security against Internet predators and Internet
content that is inappropriate for children. The target market for The Children’s
Internet
Ò
is the
48 million children on-line in 2002 (Report from Internet Commerce &
Communications Division, Information Technology Association of America,
February, 2002), as well as America’s schools, which are connected to the
Internet. The rate of general Internet use in the United States is expected
to
grow by 2 million new users per month. (Report from Internet Commerce &
Communications Division, Information Technology Association of America,
February, 2002.) Nearly two-thirds (62%) of US families have computers at
home,
but roughly 1 out of 5 (17%) of those with computers do not have Internet
access
due to safety concerns.
(Report
from Internet Commerce & Communications Division, Information Technology
Association of America, February, 2002) A third of parents with kids in grades
K-5 say they have, or will, use the Internet as a learning tool at home with
their child. Nearly 56 percent of parents are concerned that their kids view
only age-appropriate content when logging on from the classroom. (Consumer
Internet Barometer study done in 3
rd
quarter
of 2005) Risk of exposure to pornography and online predators is a growing
danger. The number of pornographic websites has increased by 140% to 372
million
web pages and continues to grow. Child pornography requests online have
accumulated to 43 billion per year. (Pew Internet and American Life Project
study 2005)
Competition
In
the
past five years, competition in our market segment of protective software and
secure online browsers and services for children ages pre-school to junior
high
has significantly declined as many of the companies providing these services
and
products have gone out of business. However, the market for Internet products
and services is still highly competitive and there is no substantial barrier
to
entry in these markets. Although we currently believe that the diverse segments
of the Internet market provide opportunities for more than one supplier of
products and services similar to ours, it is possible that a single supplier
may
dominate one or more market segments.
Our
management believes that the principal competitive factors in our market are
brand recognition, ease of use, comprehensiveness of available content,
customization by the consumer, quality and responsiveness of search results,
the
availability of high-quality, focused value added services, and required
technology to offer access to end users with few interruptions. Competition
among current and future suppliers of Internet navigational and informational
services, high-traffic websites, ISPs and broadband providers could result
in
significant price competition and reductions in revenues. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to compete successfully.
We
compete with other providers of security software, information and community
services. Many companies offer competitive products or services addressing
filtering of Internet content, including, among others, Net Nanny (Net Nanny
Software, Inc.), Cyber Patrol (The Learning Company), Cyber Sentinel (Security
Software Systems, Inc.), Cybersitter 9.0 (Solid Oak Software, Inc.), Clever
Island (Alfy, Inc.) and 8e6 Home (Log On Data, Inc.). Inc). In addition, we
compete with online services such as Yahoo! Kids (Yahoo!), an Internet navigator
designed for children in grades K-12; America Online (America Online, Inc.),
which offers parental control options for Internet access; and Disney's Blast
Online, which also offers child-oriented Internet navigation. These companies
already have an established market presence, and are far ahead of us in gaining
market share. Also, entities that sponsor or maintain high-traffic websites
or
that provide an initial point of entry for Internet users, such as the Regional
Bell Operating Companies or commercial online services such as the Microsoft
Network (“MSN”) and America Online (“AOL”), currently offer and could further
develop, acquire or license Internet search and navigation functions that could
compete with our product.
Many
of
our existing competitors, as well as a number of potential new competitors,
have
significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and distribution
resources. In addition, providers of Internet tools and services may be acquired
by, receive investments from, or enter into other commercial relationships
with
larger, well-established and well-financed companies, such as Microsoft or
AOL.
Greater competition resulting from such relationships could have a material
adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Sources
and availability of raw materials and principal suppliers
We
currently offer one product,
The
Children’s Internet® service
,
through
our agreement with Two Dog Net
.
Because
our plan is to initially focus on establishing a base of subscribers to the
primary service, we currently do not have plans to offer dial-up Internet
service as allowed by our agreement with Two Dog Net. A
ny
events
adversely affecting Two Dog Net will also affect us as we are entirely dependent
on our agreement with Two Dog Net for any revenues, hardware and technical
support of The Children’s Internet® service and SafeZone Technology® software
and infrastructure. If Two Dog Net were to cease its operations, we would need
to find alternative sources of revenues, which we may be unable to do. In such
an event, we could be forced to cease operations entirely.
We
are
also dependent upon private third party providers such as EmeryTech Data Center
to host our servers and provide the principal Internet connections for The
Children’s Internet®. Any disruption in the Internet access provided by
third-party providers or any failure of third-party providers to handle higher
volumes of user traffic could have a material adverse effect on our business,
operating results, and financial condition.
Dependence
on one or a few major customers
Since
our
recent product launch in March of 2006 we have acquired minimal retail
customers, but do not have any major customers.
Intellectual
property
Our
success is dependent on the proprietary technology developed by Two Dog Net
that
we market and sell. Two Dog Net owns the proprietary technology underlying
The
Children’s Internet® service. We do not have any patents, pending or otherwise.
The following is a list of the intellectual property we have the exclusive
rights to use from Two Dog Net under a Licensing Agreement:
|
·
|
“The
Children's Internet®" registered
trademark;
|
|
·
|
“SafeZone
Technology®” registered trademark;
|
|
·
|
The
SafeZone Technology® proprietary software;
and
|
|
·
|
“Two
Dog Net™” trademark.
|
“Children’s
Internet” is a trademark of Two Dog Net and was registered with the U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office on October 9, 2001 as Registration Number Serial Number
75378450. We do not hold any registered service marks or
trademarks.
Despite
our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt
to copy aspects of products or to obtain and use information that we regard
as
proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and while
we cannot determine the extent to which piracy of our software products exists,
such piracy can be expected to be a persistent problem, particularly in
international markets and as a result of the growing use of the Internet. Some
courts have held that shrink-wrap licenses, because they are not signed by
the
licensee, are not enforceable. In addition there can be no assurance that Two
Dog Net’s proprietary software will not be reverse engineered or designed around
by others or that others will not obtain patents that we would need to license
or design around. Impairment of our intellectual property rights could
negatively affect our business or could allow competitors to minimize any
advantage that our proprietary technology may give us.
Government
approval and effect of existing or probable governmental regulations on the
Business
Due
to
the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, laws and regulations with
respect to the Internet may be adopted at federal, state and local levels,
covering issues such as user privacy, freedom of expression, pricing,
characteristics and quality of products and services, taxation, advertising,
intellectual property rights, information security and the convergence of
traditional telecommunications services with Internet communications. We cannot
predict the nature of future legislation and the manner in which government
authorities may interpret and enforce that legislation. As a result, we could
be
subject to potential liability under future legislation, which in turn could
restrict our operations or cause additional expenses or losses. For example,
if
legislation were adopted in the U.S. or internationally that makes transacting
business over the Internet less favorable or otherwise curtails the growth
of
the Internet, this could reduce demand for our products and services and reduce
sales and profits.
In
addition, applicability to the Internet of existing laws governing issues such
as property ownership, copyright and other intellectual property issues,
taxation, libel, obscenity and personal privacy is uncertain. These laws
generally pre-date the advent of the Internet and related technologies and,
as a
result, do not consider or address the unique issues of the Internet and related
technologies. Changes to laws intended to address these issues could create
uncertainty in the marketplace, reducing demand for our services or increasing
the cost of doing business as a result of litigation costs or increased service
delivery costs.
Research
and Development
Based
on
our agreement with Two Dog Net, we will continue to look to Two Dog Net for
research and development and will continue to rely on Two Dog Net to keep The
Children’s Internet
Ò
technology current. To date, all of the research and development efforts have
been performed by Two Dog Net.
Over
the
course of the past eight years, Two Dog Net has been focused on the development
of SafeZone Technology®, The Children’s Internet
Ò
,
and the
creation of unique user interfaces and feature functionality for The Children’s
Internet
Ò
.
In the
future, in association with Two Dog Net, we will explore ways to leverage our
current knowledge on compatible product enhancements. For example, some of
the
development may focus on interactive learning systems, a parent’s portal,
multiple participant interactive games for children, a companion product to
The
Children’s Internet
Ò
aimed at
the teen market, and on-line books.
We
will
only begin development of new products after we have successfully launched
The
Children’s Internet
Ò
and feel
comfortable that the research and development effort will not dilute our focus
and resources from the success of The Children’s Internet
Ò
.
Staff
and Consultants
We
currently have five individuals serving as our full-time staff: Sholeh Hamedani,
Roaya Hamedani, Tyler Wheeler, John Heinke and Bill Arnold. On December 30,
2005, we hired Bill Arnold as our president. Bill Arnold had served as our
Investor Relations consultant during the last ten months of 2005, through
Crosslink Financial Communications, Inc. as discussed in the following
paragraph. Except for Sholeh Hamedani and Bill Arnold, the services of our
staff
have been provided to the Company through Shadrack or Two Dog Net, Inc. without
charge. On September 1, 2006 Mr. Arnold took a voluntary unpaid leave of
absence.
We
hire
independent contractors on an “as needed” basis only. We have no collective
bargaining agreements.
On
February 25, 2005 we entered into a Consulting Agreement with Crosslink
Financial Communications, Inc., of which Bill Arnold is the principal
shareholder. The agreement, which was originally for a 12-month term commencing
February 25, 2005. The agreement was terminated at the end of December 2005
after Bill Arnold was named President of the Company. Crosslink represented
the
Company in stockholder communications and public relations with existing
shareholders, brokers, dealers and other investment professionals as to the
Company's current and proposed activities, and in consulting with management.
For
undertaking this engagement the Company issued to Crosslink a “Commencement
Bonus” payable in the form of 200,000 restricted post-split shares of the
Company's common stock. In addition, the Company agreed to a monthly stock
compensation of 8,000 post-split shares of common stock every month on the
contract anniversary date, and a cash fee of $5,000 per month for the term
of
the agreement. Out of this fee, Crosslink paid for complementary services (e.g.,
other mailing services, email services, data base extensions) up to an average
of $2,500 per month, never less than $1,500 per month. During the months of
March through December 2005, Crosslink received an additional 80,000 restricted
post-split shares, bringing their total remuneration to 280,000 shares and
$50,000.00 in cash fees under this agreement.
On
March
29, 2007, the Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with Tim
T.
Turner, whereby by Mr. Turner will become the Director of Finance and Operations
for the Company. Upon the Company obtaining Directors and Officers Insurance
Mr.
Turner will be appointed an officer of the Company and made a member of the
Company’s Board of Directors. The agreement states that Mr. Turner
shall
receive a yearly salary of $157,500. He shall earn a monthly salary of $13,125
of which $5,000 will be paid in cash and $8,125 shall be deferred and accrued
for a maximum period of twelve months from the date of this Agreement. In the
event that the Company raises, during this twelve-month period, additional
capital, through loans, equity investment or both, in the aggregate sum of
one
million dollars, Mr. Turners monthly cash compensation shall be increased to
$6,562.50. The balance of Mr. Turner’s monthly compensation of $6,562.50 shall
be deferred and accrued.
At
the
end of the twelve month period, the total amount of the Mr. Turner’s deferred
compensation shall be payable by the Company, and the cash compensation will
be
increased to $13,125 per month. In the event that the Company, acting in good
faith, determines that it does not have the resources to pay Mr. Turner deferred
compensation, Mr. Turner and the Company agree that the total amount of deferred
compensation will be converted into a note payable to Mr. Turner by the Company.
The Note shall have a term of one year and shall accrue interest at the annual
rate of 7.75%, or 2.5 % above the Federal Funds Rate then in effect, whichever
amount is higher, payable at the end of each calendar month.
At
the
end of the Note term, the principal amount and any unpaid earned interest shall
be due and payable. The Note will have a Warrant attached to it that will enable
the holder to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of
shares of the Company’s common stock that will be purchasable under the terms of
the Warrant will be equal to the principal amount of the Note multiplied by
four
and divided by the then current market price of the Company’s common stock. The
Warrant Shares will be unregistered and subject to Rule 144. The Warrant Shares
shall have piggyback registration rights. The term of the Warrant will be five
years from the date of issue. Mr. Turner’s monthly salary will otherwise be
payable pursuant to the Company’s normal payroll practices. The Note will
continue to be due and payable with interest from the date issued. In addition
to the Base Salary, Mr. Turner shall participate in a bonus program in which
Mr.
Turner will earn an annual bonus equal to 50% of Mr. Turner’s Base Salary
subject to Mr. Turner meeting the performance objectives established by the
Company.

ITEM
3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Oswald
& Yap v. The Children’s Internet, Inc.
On
November 24, 2004, Oswald & Yap, A Professional Corporation (“O&Y”),
formerly counsel to the Company, filed a complaint in the Superior Court of
California, County of Orange, Case No. 04CC11623, against the Company, seeking
recovery of allegedly unpaid legal fees in the amount of $50,984.86 in
connection with the legal representation of the Company. Subsequently the amount
claimed of unpaid legal fees was reduced to $37,378.43 because it was discovered
that O&Y did not properly credit all of the payments that were made by the
Company to O&Y. The amount of $37,378.43 was deposited in an escrow account
by the Company on July 5, 2005. The complaint includes causes of action for
breach of contract. The Company disputes the amounts claimed alleging that
O&Y’s services were otherwise unsatisfactory. On May 9, 2005, O&Y
submitted an Offer to Compromise for a $0 payment by the Company to O&Y in
exchange for mutual releases which the Company rejected.
The
Company filed a cross-complaint against O&Y alleging breach of contract,
professional negligence, negligent representation, and breach of good faith
and
fiduciary duty. The Company is seeking damages in an unspecified amount for
costs, legal fees and losses incurred. O&Y has vigorously disputed the
claims set forth in the cross-complaint and has indicated its intention, should
it prevail in its defense, to institute a malicious prosecution action against
the Company, Nasser Hamedani, Sholeh Hamedani and Company counsel.
A
cross-claim was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange,
Case No. 04CC11623 by the Company
against
O&Y, and the principal allegation is that O&Y was retained to assist its
predecessor company in the purchase and acquisition of D.W.C. Installations
with
the expectation that D.W.C. had available free-trading shares such that the
Company
could
immediately raise capital on the relevant markets and that in advising the
Company
through
the purchase, O&Y failed to properly advise the Company as to the status of
D.W.C. Installations and its shares which in fact were not free-trading. As
a
result of this conduct, the Company
alleges
damages in an unspecified amount but including purchase costs, extended
operation costs, refiling costs, audit costs, legal fees, loan fees, lost market
share, and costs for registration. Trial on the complaint and cross-complaint
is
set to proceed on December 17, 2007.
Stock
Purchase Agreement
There
is
a contingent liability in connection with a Stock Purchase Agreement executed
on
October 11, 2002 between identified Shareholders and identified Purchasers.
Under the terms of Stock Purchase Agreement, a payment of $150,000 is due to
be
paid into escrow in part consideration for purchase of the stock of D.W.C.
Installations, Inc. The payment date is designated as 90 days from the date
that
the Company’s [D.W.C. Installations, Inc., a Nevada Corporation] shares of
common stock become quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board system. The
shares became quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board system on December
23, 2004. If this payment is not made, there could be exposure in connection
with the identified shareholders’ efforts to collect the amounts allegedly due.
Stonefield
Josephson, Inc. Arbitration
The
Company was subject to a claim by Stonefield Josephson, Inc., the former
accountants for the Company, seeking reimbursement costs for legal fees spent
in
connection with the Securities and Exchange Commission inquiry of the Company.
Stonefield Josephson, Inc.’s claim seeks recovery of $29,412.74. The Company
disputes any amounts owed because of a settlement agreement entered into between
the respective parties in December 2004 effectively terminating their
relationship. This matter was submitted to binding arbitration through AAA
in
January 2007. The arbitrator’s decision was issued on February 2, 2007, awarding
Stonefield Josephson, Inc. the sum of $19,000 accruing at an interest rate
of
10% per annum. The decision also awarded costs and fees to Stonefield Josephson,
Inc. in the amount of $1,425.00 both of which remain unpaid.
The
Children’s Internet, Inc. v. Stonefield Josephson, Inc.
On
August
25, 2006, the Company filed a complaint against its former accountants
Stonefield Josephson, Inc., and its principal Dean Skupen, in the Superior
Court
of California, County of Alameda, Case No. VG06286054 alleging breach of
contract, promissory estoppel, breach of implied covenant of good faith and
fair
dealing, negligent misrepresentation, fraud, and unfair business practices
arising out of defendants’ alleged failure to properly perform contractual
obligations. The matter was subsequently transferred to Los Angeles Superior
Court and is presently pending there.
SEC
Complaint
On
September 27, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filed a
complaint in the United States District Court Northern District of California
Case No. C066003CW, against among others the Company, and its CEO Sholeh
Hamedani, alleging against one or more defendants violations of Section 10(b)
of
the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5, violations of Section 13(a) of the Exchange
Act
and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11, 13a-13, violations of Section 13(b)(2)(A)
of
the Exchange Act by the Company
,
Violations of Section 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act by the Company, Violations
of Section 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13b2-1, 13b2-2, 13a-14, 16(a).
The complaint generally alleges that the Company and the individual defendants
made false or misleading public statements regarding the Company’s business and
operations, made false statements in various filings with the Commission and
in
particular the June 2005 Annual Report and Restatement and 2005 Current and
Quarterly Reports, and that defendants or some of them induced investment in
the
Company through misrepresentation and omissions. The complaint seeks
disgorgement, unspecified monetary damages, injunctive relief and other relief
against the defendants. The Company has answered the complaint. Trial in the
matter has been set for March 31, 2008.
The
Company is currently seeking resolution of the SEC complaint by virtue of
settlement. A potential settlement likely may include the Company and/or
its principals consenting, without admitting or denying the allegations, to
a
judgment alleging negligent, reckless, and intentional violations of the
federal securities laws, and other sanctions including substantial penalties.
These penalties could range from current key members of management being barred
from serving as either directors or officers of the Company to also including
financial penalties and disgorgement of all profits derived by the Company
and/or its principals who raised funds through the sale of Company stock to
third parties.
Any
proposed settlement will be subject to the Commission’s approval and the Company
cannot predict the outcome of these settlement negotiations. Additionally,
there
is no assurance that the Company will receive a settlement offer. Moreover,
there is no assurance that the settlement offer (if any) will be acceptable
to
the Company and the prospect of litigation could ensue which could
seriously compromise the Company's ability to achieve its goals.
Adverse
outcomes in some or all of the claims pending against us may result in
significant monetary damages or injunctive relief against us that could
adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. Although management
currently believes that resolving all of these matters, individually or in
the
aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position
or
results of operations, the litigation and other claims are subject to inherent
uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
There exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our financial
position and the results of operations for the period in which the effect of
an
unfavorable final outcome becomes probable and reasonably estimable.
We
are
not aware of any other pending or threatened litigation that could have a
material adverse effect on our business.

As

97204.
Dividend
Policy
The
Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock since its inception
and does not anticipate or contemplate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable
future.
Shares
Issued During Fiscal 2005 and 2006
The
Company issued post-split 13,334,628 restricted common shares during the 2005
fiscal year. 13,054,628 post-split shares
were
issued in the conversion of debt owed by the Company to Shadrack Films, Inc.
(the majority shareholder) as explained in Item 6 under the heading “Plan of
Operation”.
280,000
shares were issued to Crosslink Financial Communications, Inc., as discussed
previously in Item 1 under the heading “Staff and Consultants”.
During
the year ended December 31, 2006, 15,600 post-split restricted common shares
were issued to two principals of Brazer Communications under a public relations
consulting agreement. No other new shares were issued by the Company during
2006.
On
April
30, 2007, the Company and the Board of Directors adopted “The Children’s
Internet, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan” (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan
is to provide incentives to attract retain and motivate eligible persons whose
present and potential contributions are important to the success of the Company
by offering them an opportunity to participate in the Company's future
performance through awards of Options, Restricted Stock and Stock
Bonuses
.
Under
the
terms of the Plan the Company has made available six million (6,000,000) Shares
of the Company’s stock to be issued to Officers, Directors, Employees,
Consultants and Advisors to the Company with certain restrictions as set forth
in the Plan, and can be found in Exhibit 10.14 to this 10-KSB. The plan will
be
administered by a Committee of the Board of Directors. The plan will terminate
ten (10) years from the effective date of the plan unless terminated earlier
under the terms of the Plan.
Other
Matters
In
a
Stock Purchase Agreement dated October 11, 2002, twenty-five D.W.C.
Installations shareholders sold 2,237,000 of the original 2,242,000
“freely-tradable” post-split shares of common stock to six individuals, two of
whom are related to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
Officer and Chairman of the Board, Sholeh Hamedani. Together, the two related
individuals purchased 27% of the 2,237,000 shares sold. At the time the shares
were issued, the Company believed the shares were "freely tradeable" based
on
the representations made by our attorney at the time, Oswald & Yap, who
structured the agreement. Subsequently the company determined that the
shares were, in fact, not "freely tradeable" and those shares would have to
be registered. The said shares were then registered in a SB-2 Registration
Statement declared effective on May 5, 2004.
Also
on
October 11, 2002, the Company entered into a subsequent agreement with the
six
new shareholders holding the 2,237,000 “freely-tradable” post-split shares, to
issue four shares of restricted common stock to these shareholders or their
designees, for every one “freely-tradable” share held.
At
the
time the shares were issued, the Company believed the shares were "freely
tradeable" based on the representations made by our attorney at the time, Oswald
& Yap, who structured the agreement. Subsequently the company
determined that the shares were, in fact, not "freely tradeable" and those
shares would have to be registered. The said shares were then registered
in a SB-2 Registration Statement declared effective on May 5, 2004. Pursuant
to
this agreement,
8,948,000
newly-issued restricted post-split shares of common stock were issued in
exchange for an agreement
to
loan
to TDN, the proceeds of the sales of a portion of their shares. TDN in turn
agreed to loan a portion of these proceeds to Shadrack to finance the ongoing
operations of the Company. TDN retained the remainder of the proceeds to help
fund development costs of The Children’s Internet system and to make payments on
TDN’s existing debts. The
8,948,000
newly-issued
post-split shares were recorded at a value of $575,356 based on the $0.0643
per
share paid by Shadrack in a previous transaction where Shadrack acquired the
2,333,510 newly-issued post-split shares it purchased on July 3, 2002. The
$575,356 value was recorded by the Company as a debt financing fee. The loan
agreement is such that Shadrack will not charge the Company any interest on
the
amounts loaned. Shares sold under this agreement included 1,218,990 of the
“freely-tradable” shares and 2,650,108 of the newly-issued restricted shares,
for a total of 3,869,098 post-split shares, which were sold for a total of
$2,722,341. After deducting the $494,049 in commissions paid by TDN, the
resulting net proceeds were $2,228,292. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the
net amount loaned to the Company by Shadrack was $1,471,258 and $1,078,146,
respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OF
OPERATIONS.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
which
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern
.
The
preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.
Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Our
operating expenses decreased by $192,744 for the year ended December 31, 2006,
as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily
due
to decreases of $145,681 in officers and directors compensation and $183,257
in
investor relations expenses, offset by an increase in legal expenses of
$183,901. The decrease in officers and directors compensation resulted primarily
from more stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2005. The
decrease in investor relations expense is because the principal of our former
investor relations consulting firm, which received 280,000 restricted post-split
shares valued at $126,600 in addition to $55,000 in cash fees during the year
ended December 31, 2005, performed these functions as an officer of the Company
during the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in legal expenses is
due
primarily to the Oswald & Yap litigation and responding to the SEC
investigation and complaint.
Plan
of Operation
This
plan
of operation contains forward-looking statements that involve risks,
uncertainties, and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from
those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain
factors, including, but not limited to, those described elsewhere in this
report.
On
September 10, 2002, we entered into a License Agreement with Two Dog Net for
an
exclusive worldwide license to market and sell The Children’s Internet® service.
We subsequently replaced the royalty and license agreement with a new Wholesale
Sales & Marketing Agreement with the same effective date of September 10,
2002. The new agreement provides for us to be the exclusive marketers of Two
Dog
Net’s proprietary secured Internet service for pre-school to junior high school
aged children called The Children’s Internet®. We further amended this agreement
in February 2005 to decrease the per user fee to Two Dog Net from $3.00 to
$1.00. In consideration for this decrease, Two Dog Net was granted an option
to
acquire 18,000,000 post-split shares of the Company’s restricted common stock at
an exercise price of $.07 per share for five years from the date of grant.
The
shares underlying the option have “piggy back” registration rights for a period
of one year following any exercise of the option.
Two
Dog
Net did not give written notice to terminate the contract one year prior to
the
expiration of the initial five year term, therefore the licensing agreement
was
automatically renewed for an additional five years expiring in 2013.
The
Company released The Children’s Internet®, version 9.0, to the market on March
2, 2006. The Company is the exclusive marketer and distributor of The Children's
Internet® membership-based service created just for kids. In the August 2004
issue of PC Magazine The Children's Internet® was ranked as Editors' Choice in
the category of "Kids' Browsers and Services," and was voted number one over
AOL, EarthLink and MSN Premium 9. Additionally in August 2006
The
Children's Internet® was declared winner of Outstanding Products of 2006 by
iParenting Media Awards in the software category. Shortly thereafter on
September 2006 The Children's Internet® received the coveted National Parenting
Center's Seal of Approval.
We
believe The Children's Internet® is the most comprehensive, smart solution to
the problems inherent to a child’s unrestricted and unsupervised Internet
access. We offer a protected online service and "educational super portal"
specifically designed for children, pre-school to junior high, providing them
with SAFE, real-time access to the World Wide Web; access to hundreds of
thousands of the best pre-selected, pre-approved educational and entertaining
web pages accessed through a secure propriety browser and search
engine.
During
2006 the technology on which the product is based was updated and the
functionality of the service was improved. During 2006 the Company increased
the
number of approved websites within the search engine and portals data base
by
over 50%. The Company, through Two Dog Net also substantially upgraded the
underlying system infrastructure by increasing redundant servers and improving
control procedures which in turn increased the reliability of the
service.
Additionally
during 2006, where appropriate, the Company contracted with third party
companies to outsource administrative support services and effectively put
in
place the infrastructure to support the marketing initiatives. These outsource
providers handle telemarketing and the order taking process and media placement.
The
Business Model
The
product sells for $9.95 per month to the consumer. The user must already have
internet access, either through dial-up, DSL or cable broadband. We utilize
both
retail and wholesale channels of distribution.
The
Company will focus on establishing long term, value-driven relationships
with:
|
·
|
The
School Market: School Administrators and
Teachers
|
|
·
|
Major
ISP’s such as Comcast, Yahoo, AOL,
etc.
|
|
·
|
Non-profit
organizations such as religious groups, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts,
etc.
|
|
·
|
ISP
customers with an interest in protecting their families
|
With
the
product now launched and generating minimal revenues, we are affecting a broad
based Sales and Marketing Plan. We will focus our sales and marketing programs
on five distinct areas where we can produce revenue:
|
1.
|
Consumer
Sales
-
We are selling monthly subscriptions of the service directly to consumers
via a nationwide Sales Agent program. We introduced a Sales Agent
program
on January 11, 2006 and began enrolling independent Sales Agents
to sell
subscriptions to The Children’s Internet® service on a commission only
basis. A monthly commission of $2.00 per subscriber is paid to the
sales
agent and continues as long as the subscriber is enrolled with our
service. These independent Sales Agents have already demonstrated
the
ability to introduce the product to some of the nations largest ISPs,
retailers, merchandisers and fast food companies.
Consumers
may also acquire the product directly from the Company via our website
at:
www.thechildrensinternet.com.
|
|
2.
|
Wholesalers
-
We sell The Children's Internet® to independent distributors, resellers
and ISPs who will sell it as a value-added service to their current
customer base. Targets would include companies such as Comcast, AT&T,
EarthLink and the hundreds of “local” ISPs throughout the United States.
In these situations, the business model changes dramatically as we
would
not be engaged in billing, collecting, customer service or level
one
technical support.
|
|
3.
|
Charitable
organizations-
We
will “partner” with non-profit organizations to have them market the
product. Targets would include large religious organizations, various
scout programs, Internet safety activists, law enforcement agencies,
etc.
Moreover, we offer any age-appropriate school, public or private,
20 free
licenses for a year. From there, we expect Parent Teacher Associations
to
use the product as a fund raiser, deepening our penetration into
the homes
of children.
|
|
4.
|
Infomercials-
Subject to securing financing, the cornerstone of our consumer marketing
plan is a national television advertising campaign which includes
a
30-minute infomercial that was produced over a two-year period of
time by
Two Dog Net. This infomercial will be re-edited and updated. We then
intend to utilize the infomercial to launch the advertising and consumer
marketing program to build brand recognition and to generate revenues
from
customer monthly subscriptions. We plan to first conduct a limited
media
test to identify what television stations in various geographical
markets
generate the most response. From the media test we will be able to
build
the media plan to launch the advertising campaign on a national basis
thereafter and will be the basis for the ongoing infomercial media
schedule.
|
Channels
of Distribution:
The
Children's Internet, Inc. will employ both direct and indirect sales channels.
Also
subject to secure financing we will hire a direct sales force. The primary
targets will be the largest Internet Service Providers as well as other national
organizations that market to the most appropriate demographic for our service.
We believe one or more of the largest ISPs in the United States will recognize
the first mover advantage opportunity and will use The Children’s Internet to
not only offer this much needed product to their existing customers, but also
to
take significant market share from their competition. We also believe that
almost any company that markets to our demographic will want to seize the public
relations good will that will accrue to any company offering our
service.
The
indirect channel, composed of non-salaried independent sales agents and
wholesale distributors, will target a wide range of opportunities, from local
charities to national organizations where they may have an influential contact.
These sales agents will have the opportunity to employ secondary resellers
to
work for them, but we will not market using a multi-level marketing plan.
Through grassroots efforts during 2006 the Company entered into sales agent
agreements with ten individuals. Through 2007 the company intends to continue
to
support these sales agents in their efforts to distribute the product on an
individual basis, through organizations and through key strategic online service
providers.
Future
products and services
In
the
future we anticipate generating revenues via advertising sold to the purveyors
of children goods and services. As well, we intend to engage in the
merchandising of
The
Children’s Internet® themed products, from clothing to toys to books, but for
the foreseeable future we will focus strictly on the successful distribution
of
our core service.
Market
Share, Cash Flow and Profitability
Although
market data is not exact, and varies depending on the source, our plan is based
on the belief that in the United States alone there are an approximately 48
million homes with internet access with children under the age of 16. Our model,
with a mix of business generated from the respective channels of distribution,
indicates we can be cash flow positive and profitable with less than 0.5% of
the
market.
As
of
December 31, 2006, we had net loss from inception of approximately $4,150,000.
Of this amount, approximately $595,000 represents the estimated fair market
value for the cost of wages, if paid, for the services rendered by our Chief
Executive Officer and an outside consultant (we have recorded these amounts
for
the cost of wages, and since they did not charge the Company, as additional
paid
in capital), $1,598,000 represents professional fees such as legal and
accounting expenses, $575,000 represents a debt financing fee, $315,000
represents officers compensation for which an option to purchase common stock
was issued, $449,000 represents accrued officers compensation, and the balance
of $618,000 consists primarily of occupancy and telecommunications costs
including internet costs. To date Shadrack, the majority shareholder, has funded
all of our expended costs.
Currently,
we are dependent on funding from Shadrack for our current operations and for
providing office space and utilities that for the year ended December 31, 2006,
averaged $14,200 per month in operating costs, exclusive of professional fees,
time donated by our staff and officers’ time paid or accrued during the year
2006. Through December 31, 2006, the amount funded by Shadrack totaled
approximately $1,471,000. On December 31, 2006, the balance due to Shadrack
was
approximately $1,014,000. The difference of approximately $457,000 was converted
to common stock on February 15, 2005, when the Company’s Board of Directors
authorized the conversion of all debt owed to Shadrack into 13,054,628
post-split shares of restricted common stock at a conversion price of $0.07
per
pre-split share. Shadrack is under no obligation to continue funding our
operations and could stop at any time without notice.
Where
practicable we plan to contract with third party companies to outsource
administrative support services that effectively support the growth of the
business. These outsource providers handle technical support, telemarketing
and
the order taking process and media placement. We believe this strategy will
minimize the number of employees required to manage our intended growth through
2007.
On
February 25, 2005, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with Crosslink
Financial Communications, Inc., of which Bill Arnold is the principal
shareholder. Crosslink represented the Company in stockholder communications
and
public relations with existing shareholders, brokers, dealers and other
investment professionals as to the Company's current and proposed activities,
and in consulting with management. For undertaking this engagement the Company
agreed to issue a “Commencement Bonus” payable in the form of 200,000 restricted
post-split shares of the Company's common stock. In addition, the Company agreed
to a monthly stock compensation of 8,000 post-split shares of common stock
every
month on the contract anniversary date, and a cash fee of $5,000 per month
for
the term of the Agreement. Out of this fee, Crosslink paid for complementary
services (e.g., other mailing services, email services, data base extensions)
up
to an average of $2,500 per month. The agreement, which was originally for
a
term commencing February 25, 2005 and ending twelve months thereafter, was
terminated at the end of December 2005 because there was a mutual desire for
Mr.
Arnold to be involved on a daily basis. Hence on December 30, 2005, Bill Arnold
was hired as the Company’s President. Beginning on September 1, 2006 Mr. Arnold
took a voluntary unpaid leave of absence.
Going
Concern Uncertainty
Since
our
anticipated offering of new shares to the public was terminated, we have relied
exclusively on loans from Shadrack to fund all of our expenses. There is no
assurance that Shadrack will be able or be willing to continue such funding.
We
will be required to obtain additional funds through private placements of debt
or equity securities or by other borrowing. We do not have any arrangements
with
potential investors or lenders to provide such funds as of the date of this
filing and there is no assurance that such additional financing will be
available when required in order to proceed with our business plan. Further,
our
ability to respond to competition or changes in the market place or to exploit
opportunities will be significantly limited by lack of available capital
financing. If we are unsuccessful in securing the additional capital needed
to
continue operations within the time required, we will not be in a position
to
continue operations. In this event, we would attempt to sell the Company or
file
for bankruptcy.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
None.

CHANGES
IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE.
On
October 3, 2006, the Company received notice from its independent accountant,
Marc Lumer & Co. (“Lumer”) that they had resigned as auditors of the Company
effective immediately. On October 9, 2006, the Company received a second letter
from Lumer stating that they had withdrawn their opinions on our previous
financial statements for unstated reasons.
During
the prior fiscal year, Lumer’s report on the Company’s financial statements did
not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, audit scope, or
accounting principles nor were the reports qualified or modified except as
to
uncertainty with respect to going concern, audit scope, or accounting
principles. During the prior two fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2005, and the subsequent interim periods through the, date of
resignation, there were no disagreements with Lumer on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope
or
procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Lumer would have caused
Lumer to make reference to the matter in their reports. There were no
"reportable events", as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K.
On
March
29, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with the firm of Hunter,
Flemmer, Renfro & Whitaker, LLP of Sacramento, California to replace Lumer
as the Company’s independent accountants. On May 14, 2006 the agreement was
replaced with an agreement for Hunter, Flemmer, Renfro & Whitaker, LLP to
audit the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the
year ended December 31, 2005. This agreement was approved by the Company’s Board
of Directors.
ITEM
8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
In
the
course of the due diligence for the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB of the Company
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, our management identified an
agreement that the Company had entered into with five of our shareholders on
October 11, 2002. This agreement provided that in consideration for the
agreement of these shareholders to loan an affiliate of the Company proceeds
from the sale of their shares of common stock of the Company to third parties,
the Company would issue four shares of its restricted common stock for every
one
share owned. The aggregate number of shares of restricted common stock that
the
Company was obligated to issue pursuant to the agreement was 4,474,000 pre-split
(8,948,000 post-split) shares. The agreement was not disclosed in any of the
Company’s previous SEC filings or otherwise included as an exhibit as a result
of an error of omission. In addition, the 4,474,000 pre-split (8,948,000
post-split) shares to be issued were not included in any of the Company’s
financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 or 2002,
or in
any interim reporting period through September 30, 2004.
Management
brought this matter to the attention of its Board of Directors and the Board
of
Directors brought it to the attention of the Company’s independent auditor.
After discussions with management, the Board of Directors determined that
previously reported financial information for the Company be restated to reflect
the agreement. In light of the expected restatement, the Company filed a Form
8-K on April 21, 2005 under Item 4.02 (a) advising that due to an error, its
previously issued financial statements for the fiscal years ended December
31,
2003 and 2002 and such interim periods covered thereby and for the interim
periods in fiscal 2004 should no longer be relied upon.

(b)
|
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and
Remediation
|
In
connection with the restatement, under the direction of our Chief Executive
Officer and Controller, we have reevaluated our disclosure controls and
procedures. We identified a material weakness in our internal controls and
procedures relating to the handling and disclosure of material agreements.
In
order to prevent the same kind of mistake noted above, the Company implemented
a
new review system whereby all agreements which have a material effect on the
Company will be reviewed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and outside
counsel. Agreements are now forwarded to the Company’s auditor which keeps
copies in its files for reporting purposes. Additional copies will be forwarded
to the Company’s accounting department where it is logged and processed for
follow-up. In addition to the above we constantly monitor our procedures and
when necessary hire outside consultants to make sure that the Company’s
corporate compliance program is up to date with all SEC Rules and
recommendations.
We
believe that as of the date of this filing, the process enumerated above
remediates the weaknesses that were identified in our internal controls and
procedures.

On
February 15, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors granted Tyler Wheeler, the
Company’s Chief Software Architect Consultant and a director, an option to
purchase up to 1,000,000 post-split shares of the Company’s restricted common
stock at an exercise price of $0.07, and a fair value of $315,000 if all the
options were to be converted. The option is exercisable, in whole or in part
at
any time and from time to time, for a period of five years from the date of
grant.
The
option was valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which was
developed for estimating the fair value of traded options, and taking into
account that all of the acquirable shares are restricted.
No
other
options or SARs (Stock Appreciation Rights) were granted to any directors or
executive officers during 2005 and 2006.
Employment
and Related Agreements
William
L. Arnold was appointed by the Chairman to act as the President of the Company
beginning December 30, 2005, under an Executive Employment Agreement executed
on
the same date. Compensation includes a monthly salary of $10,000, of which
$2,500 per month is deferred with 9% accrued interest until January 2007. The
agreement also includes a performance bonus of up to 50% of the annual salary
and a combination of nonqualified and qualified stock options (the Stock
Option). The Stock Option is for the purchase of up to 1,000,000 post-split
shares at an option price of $0.55 per share, which was more than the closing
market price of $0.48 on the date of the agreement. One half of the Stock Option
vests immediately and the remaining 500,000 option shares will vest at the
rate
of 1/36
th
each
month until fully vested. Of the 500,000 option shares which vest immediately,
360,000 are Incentive Stock Options (ISO’s). The remaining 640,000 option shares
are non-qualified. Beginning on September 1, 2006 Mr. Arnold took a voluntary
unpaid leave of absence. During Mr. Arnold’s leave of absence the vesting of his
options were suspended.

The
officer did not charge the Company for her services - this amount was the
estimated fair market value for comparable services and was recorded as
additional paid in capital as of December 31, 2004.
2
The
officer’s salary was accrued but has not been paid through the date of this
report.

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
Our
Chief
Executive Officer, and our Chairman, Sholeh Hamedani, is the sole officer,
director and shareholder of Shadrack, the majority shareholder. Ms. Hamedani
was
also President of Two Dog Net, the owner of The Children’s Internet® technology
until she resigned on August 1, 2002. Ms. Hamedani also owns approximately
10%
of the total outstanding shares of common stock of Two Dog Net.
Ms.
Hamedani’s father, Nasser Hamedani, is the current President, Chairman and
majority shareholder of Two Dog Net.
On
July
3, 2002, we entered into a Plan of Reorganization and Acquisition agreement
with
Shadrack thereby obtaining a majority ownership interest and becoming the
majority shareholder of the company. Pursuant to the agreement, we sold
2,333,510 newly issued post-split shares of our common stock to Shadrack in
exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $150,000. Sholeh Hamedani is the
sole officer, director and shareholder of Shadrack.
On
September 10, 2002, we entered into a License Agreement with Two Dog Net to
license Children’s Internet® technology and intellectual property. This
agreement was subsequently cancelled and on March 3, 2003, we entered into
a new
Wholesale Sales & Marketing Agreement with Two Dog Net. Under the terms of
this agreement, we were to pay Two Dog Net $3.00 per month for each user
accessing The Children’s Internet® service. On February 15, 2005 the Company’s
Board of Directors granted Two Dog Net an option to purchase 18,000,000
post-split shares of restricted common stock at an exercise price of $.07 per
share exercisable for five years. The option was granted in consideration of
amending the Wholesale Sales & Marketing Agreement reducing the per user
charge from $3.00 to $1.00.
In
a
Stock Purchase Agreement dated October 11, 2002 and in reliance on an exemption
from registration pursuant to Section 4(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, our
original shareholders sold 2,237,000 of their post-split shares of our common
stock to various purchasers, two of who are related to our management, Nasser
Hamedani, Sholeh Hamedani’s father, and Soraiya Hamedani, Sholeh Hamedani’s
sister. Some of these purchasers were introduced to the original shareholders
by
Sholeh Hamedani, our President, Chief Financial Officer, and Director. Some
of
these purchasers resold their shares to unrelated third parties, relying on
an
exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(1) of the Securities Act
of
1933. The proceeds received from the stock sale was loaned to Two Dog Net who,
in turn, loaned a portion of such proceeds to Shadrack, and Shadrack loaned
a
portion of these funds to the Company to finance our operations. These amounts
are reflected on the financial statements as “Due to Related Party.” The
original shareholders received their shares from us in reliance on the exemption
from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
On
February 15, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors agreed to convert the debt
owed to Shadrack of $456,912 into 13,054,628 post-split shares of restricted
common stock at a conversion price of $0.07 per pre-split share based upon
the
only sale by the Company of shares of its common stock on July 3,
2002.

REPORT
OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board
of
Directors and Shareholders
The
Children’s Internet
We
have
audited the balance sheet of The Children’s Internet, Inc. (formerly DWC
Installations) (a development stage company) (the “Company”) as of December 31,
2006 and as of December 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years ended December
31, 2006 and 2005 and the period from September 25, 1996 (inception) to December
31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that
it
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration
of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit
also
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provided
a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of The Children’s Internet, Inc.
(formerly DWC Installations) (a Development Stage Company) as of December 31,
2006 and December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows
for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2006 and December
31,
2005, and the period from September 25, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 2006
in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of
America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial
statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $1,086,944 and had negative
cash flow from operations of $495,081. In addition, the Company had an
accumulated deficit of $4,150,386 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,860,890 at
December 31, 2006. These factors, among others, as discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters
are
also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

THE
CHILDREN'S INTERNET, INC.
(A
Development Stage Company)
NOTES
TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December
31, 2006
NOTE
1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Nature
of Operations
The
Children's Internet, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of
the
State of Nevada on September 25, 1996 under the name D.W.C. Installations.
At
that date, 2,242,000 post-split shares were issued to a small group of founders.
The Company was primarily inactive until July 2002.
The
Company is currently authorized to conduct business in California and is
headquartered in Pleasanton, California. The Company’s primary operations
consist of marketing, selling, and administering a computer software system
for
internet usage by children. The system, known as The Children’s Internet, is not
owned by the Company, but is owned by a related party, Two Dog Net, Inc.
(“TDN”). The Company’s marketing, selling and administration rights derive from
a Wholesale Sales & Marketing Agreement with TDN, through the year 2013
which includes the ability to obtain five year extensions.
On
July
3, 2002, Shadrack Films, Inc. (Shadrack) purchased 2,333,510 newly issued
post-split shares of the Company’s common stock for $150,000, thereby obtaining
a majority ownership interest. The total issued and outstanding shares of the
Company were increased to 4,575,510 post-split shares as a result of this sale
to Shadrack. On December 27, 2002, the Company’s name was changed from D.W.C.
Installations to The Children’s Internet, Inc.
In
a
Stock Purchase Agreement dated October 11, 2002, twenty-five D.W.C.
Installations shareholders sold 2,237,000 of the original 2,242,000
“freely-tradable” post-split shares of common stock to six individuals, two of
whom are related to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
Officer and Chairman of the Board, Sholeh Hamedani. Together, the two related
individuals purchased 27% of the 2,237,000 shares sold. At the time the shares
were issued, the Company believed the shares were "freely tradeable" based
on
the representations made by our attorney at the time, Oswald & Yap, who
structured the agreement. Subsequently the company determined that the
shares were, in fact, not "freely tradeable" and those shares would have to
be registered. The said shares were then registered in a SB-2 Registration
Statement declared effective on May 5, 2004.
Also
on
October 11, 2002, the Company entered into a subsequent agreement with the
six
new shareholders holding the 2,237,000 freely-tradable post-split shares, to
issue four shares of restricted common stock to these shareholders or their
designees, for every one “freely-tradable” share held. At the time the shares
were issued, the Company believed the shares were "freely tradeable" based
on
the representations made by our attorney at the time, Oswald & Yap, who
structured the agreement. Subsequently the company determined that the
shares were, in fact, not "freely tradeable" and those shares would have to
be registered. The said shares were then registered in a SB-2 Registration
Statement declared effective on May 5, 2004. Pursuant to this agreement,
8,948,000
newly-issued restricted post-split shares of common stock were issued in
exchange for an agreement
to
loan
to TDN, the proceeds of the sales of a portion of their shares. TDN in turn
agreed to loan a portion of these proceeds to Shadrack to finance the ongoing
operations of the Company. TDN retained the remainder of the proceeds to help
fund development costs of The Children’s Internet system and to make payments on
TDN’s existing debts. The
8,948,000
newly-issued
post-split shares were recorded at a value of $575,356 based on the $0.0643
per
share paid by Shadrack in a previous transaction where Shadrack acquired the
2,333,510 newly-issued post-split shares it purchased on July 3, 2002. The
$575,356 value was recorded by the Company as a debt financing fee. The loan
agreement is such that Shadrack will not charge the Company any interest on
the
amounts loaned. Shares sold under this agreement included 1,218,990 of the
“freely-tradable” shares and 2,650,108 of the newly-issued restricted shares,
for a total of 3,869,098 post-split shares, which were sold for a total of
$2,722,341. After deducting the $494,049 in commissions paid by TDN, the
resulting net proceeds were $2,228,292. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the
net amount loaned to the Company by Shadrack was $1,471,258 and $1,078,146,
respectively.
On
February 15, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a 2 for 1 forward
split of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock to shareholders
of
record as of March 7, 2005, in the form of a 100% stock dividend. The effective
date of the forward split on the OTC:BB was March 11, 2005.
During
the year ended December 31, 2005, an additional 13,334,628 restricted post-split
shares of common stock were issued
.
Of
these
shares, 13,054,628 were issued to Shadrack, a related party and majority
shareholder, for conversion of existing debt and 280,000 shares were issued
to
Crosslink Financial Communications, a non related party
1
in
payment of investor relation services, as explained in Notes 3, 4 and
7
.
On
June
9, 2006, 15,600 shares were issued to two principals of Brazer Communications
under a public relations consulting agreement, as explained in Note 5,
bringing
the total
of
the
Company's issued and outstanding post-split shares to 26,873,738 at December
31,
2006.
Development
Stage Enterprise
The
Company is a development stage enterprise as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development
Stage Enterprises.” All losses accumulated since the inception of the Company
have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.
The
Company is devoting the majority of its efforts to activities
focused
on marketing The Children’s Internet® service and
on
financial planning, raising capital, developing sales strategies and new
marketing materials and implementing its business plan. The Company is
considered to be a development stage company even though its planned principal
operations have commenced, because there have been no significant revenues
earned by the Company to date.
Additionally,
the Company is not a shell company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange
Act.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
pursuant to Regulation S-B of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which
contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. At present, the
Company has not generated any significant revenues from its established sources
of revenue and has had net losses and negative cash flow since its inception.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as
a going concern. Without the realization of additional capital or established
revenue sources, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to
the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be
unable to continue in existence.
Use
of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statement in conformity with accounting principals
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid, short-term investments purchased with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There
were
no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying amounts of financial instruments, including accounts payable and
accrued expenses, professional fees, and payable to related parties approximate
fair value as of December 31, 2006.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. In accordance
with FASB 144, the Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment on
a
yearly basis. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the assets might not be recovered through undiscounted future
cash flows, such losses are recognized in the statement of
operations.
1
Although
Crosslink Financial Communications was not a related party at the time of
the
issuance, the principal shareholder of Crosslink, William L. Arnold, became
President of the Company under an Executive Employment Agreement on December
30,
2005.
The
cost
of property and equipment is depreciated over the remaining useful lives of
the
assets, all of which currently are based on a three-year life. Depreciation
is
computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting and for income
tax purposes. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed when
incurred, while betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on the sale of
property and equipment are reflected in the statement of
operations.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities
and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the
accompanying financial statements, the Company had net losses and a negative
cash flow from operations for the years ended December 31, as
follows:

The
Company has been sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission as explained
in
Note 4. This action raises substantial doubt concerning the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern is dependent on its ability to generate profitable operations in the
future by implementing its business plan and/or to obtain the necessary
financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal
business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot
be
predicted with any certainty at this time. Management plans to continue to
provide for its capital needs during the year ended December 31, 2007 by
incurring additional debt financing from related parties and intends to seek
debt or equity financing from unrelated parties, with the proceeds to be used
to
fund continuing operations. Management may also seek to find a buyer for the
Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
be
necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Advertising
The
Company expenses advertising expenses as they are incurred. Advertising expenses
for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $6,008 and $2,417,
respectively.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are provided for based on the liability method of accounting pursuant
to
SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This method requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future
tax
consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements
or
tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes, if any, are recorded
to
reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each
year-end.
Valuation
allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets when
evidence is such that it appears that a portion of the assets may not be
realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted
tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred
tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in
the
period that includes the enactment date.
As
of
December 31, 2006 and 2005, the deferred tax assets related to the Company’s net
operating loss carry-forwards are fully reserved. Due to the provisions of
Internal Revenue Code Section 382, the Company may not have any net operating
loss carry-forwards available to offset financial statement or tax return
taxable income in future periods as a result of a change in control involving
50
percentage points or more of the issued and outstanding securities of the
Company.
Loss
Per Share
SFAS
No.
128, "Earnings (Loss) Per Share", requires the presentation of basic loss per
share and diluted loss per share. The computation of basic loss per share is
computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss
per
share is computed the same way but the denominator is increased to include
the
number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the
potential common shares had been issued during the period and if the additional
common shares were dilutive. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the
computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2006, the
Company had 19,611,112 potentially dilutive post-split common shares
outstanding, but did not include these shares in its computation of loss per
share because doing so would decrease the loss per share, which is anti-dilutive
and not permitted by SFAS No. 128.
Comprehensive
Income
The
company utilizes SFAS No. 130, “Reporting on Comprehensive Income.” This
statement establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its
components in a financial statement. Comprehensive income as defined includes
all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources.
Examples of items to be included in comprehensive income, which are excluded
from net income, include foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum
pension liability adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on
available-for-sale marketable securities. As of December 31, 2006, the Company
had no items that represent comprehensive income and therefore, has not included
a Statement of Comprehensive Income in the accompanying financial
statements.
Revenue
Recognition
In
December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104 “Revenue Recognition, corrected copy” to
revise and clarify SAB No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”,
issued in 1999 and 2000. Pursuant to these bulletins and the relevant generally
accepted accounting principles, the Company recognizes revenue when services
are
rendered to subscribers under contractual obligation to pay monthly subscription
amounts for such services.
Segment
Reporting
The
Company identifies its operating segments based on how management internally
evaluates separate financial information (if available), business activities
and
management responsibility. The Company believes it operates in a single business
segment. Through December 31, 2006 there have been no foreign
operations.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and
cash
equivalents with high credit, quality financial institutions. At times, such
cash and cash equivalents may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation insurance limit of $100,000. The Company has not experienced
any
losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant
credit
risk on cash and cash equivalents.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets”,
an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS No 153 eliminates the exception
from
fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets
in
paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions,” and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have
commercial substance. This Statement specifies that a nonmonetary exchange
has
commercial substance if future cash flows of the entity are expected to change
significantly as a result of the exchange, and is effective for nonmonetary
asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15,
2005.
The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 153to have a material impact
on
the Company’s future financial position, cash flows or results of
operations.
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based
Payment
.
”
SFAS No. 123R addresses the accounting for share-based payment
transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange
for
(a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are
based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be
settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS No. 123R
eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions
using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and generally requires
that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method.
The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) in the third quarter of
fiscal 2005, beginning July 1, 2005. The Company has implemented this
pronouncement, which included its application in fair valuing options granted
in
February 2005.
In
May
2005, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 154,
“Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections”, an amendment to Accounting Principles Bulletin
(APB) Opinion No. 20 “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting
Changes in Interim Financial Statements” though SFAS No. 154 carries forward the
guidance in APB No. 20 and SFAS No. 3 with respect to accounting for changes
in
estimates, changes in reporting entity, and the correction of errors. SFAS
No.
154 requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements
for
changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine
either
the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS
No. 154
also requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle
be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change
in
accounting principle should be recognized in the period of the accounting
change. SFAS No. 154 will become effective for the Company’s fiscal year
beginning January 1, 2006. The impact of SFAS No. 154 will depend on the
nature
and extent of any voluntary accounting changes and correction of errors after
the effective date, but management does not expect this pronouncement to
have a
material impact on the Company’s current results of operations, financial
condition or cash flows.

Services
Provided
On
January 26, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors resolved that starting
January 1, 2005, all salary due and payable to the Company's Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Director, Sholeh Hamedani, would be
accrued when earned. The decision will be made at the end of each year whether
to make the payment in cash, shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, or
a combination of both. Accordingly, for each of the years ended December 31,
2006 and 2005, $180,000 has been accrued and charged to General and
Administrative Expense. Prior to the year ended December 31, 2005, Sholeh
Hamedani provided services to the Company at a total cumulative fair market
value of $435,000, which was contributed to Additional Paid-in Capital.
Accordingly, she will not seek payment for the services provided during that
period. Also, the salary of the Company’s President, William L. Arnold, was not
fully paid, but was accrued from May 1, 2006 through August 31, 2006. Beginning
on September 1, 2006 Mr. Arnold took a voluntary unpaid leave of
absence.
Advances
As
of the
date of this report, all of the Company’s funding has been provided by Shadrack
Films, Inc., its majority stockholder and a related party. The total amount
advanced through December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $1,471,258 and $1,078,146,
respectively. In February 2005, the Company owed Shadrack approximately $457,000
for loans made by Shadrack to the Company for funding all of the Company’s
operations since entering the development stage on July 3, 2002. On February
15,
2005, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and approved the conversion
of
debt totaling $456,912 owed by the Company to Shadrack, into 13,054,628
post-split shares of the Registrant's restricted common stock at a conversion
price of $.035 per post-split share.
Shadrack
Films, Inc. is an entity owned and controlled by the Company's Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board, Sholeh Hamedani,
who
is the sole officer, director and shareholder of Shadrack. Shadrack also
owned
2,333,510 post-split shares of the Company's common stock, of which it sold
1,277,150 of its restricted shares
in
reliance on an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4 (1-1/2)
of the
Securities Act of 1933, to approximately 130 investors between July 2004
and
June 2005. In addition, Shadrack paid for services, on behalf of the Company,
valued at $35,000 with 70,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock.
Together with the 13,054,628 post-split shares issued upon conversion of
the
debt, Shadrack owns an aggregate of 14,040,988 post-split shares of the
Company's common stock or 52.2% without giving effect to any presently
exercisable options.
Beneficial
Ownership
The
Company, Shadrack and
Two
Dog
Net, Inc. (TDN),
are
related parties, in that, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
Officer, and Director, Sholeh Hamedani, is the sole shareholder of Shadrack
which as of December 31, 2006 owns 52.2% of the Company's common stock and
as of
December 31, 2005 owned 52.3% of the Company’s common stock. Ms. Hamedani was
President of TDN until she resigned on August 1, 2002 and is a 10% shareholder
of TDN. In addition, the current President, Chairman and Founder of TDN,
Nasser
Hamedani, is the father of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Financial Officer, and Director, Sholeh Hamedani.
Licensing
Agreement
The
Wholesale Sales and Marketing Agreement between the Company and Two Dog Net,
Inc., dated March 3, 2003, is an exclusive and renewable five-year agreement
for
the Company to be the exclusive marketers of TDN’s proprietary secured internet
service for children pre-school to junior high called The Children's Internet®.
Under the terms of the agreement, it is automatically renewed for additional
five year periods on the same terms unless either party terminates by written
notice to the other party no less than one year before the end of the term.
Accordingly, the earliest date on which the agreement could be terminated
is
March 3, 2013.
On
February 15, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and approved
an
amendment to the Wholesale Sales and Marketing Agreement between the Company
and
Two Dog Net, Inc., dated March 3, 2003. The amended license agreement reduces
the license fee for The Children's Internet® technology payable to TDN from
$3.00 to $1.00 per subscriber per month. In consideration for the reduction
of
the fee, the Company granted TDN or its designees, an option to purchase
the
Company's currently restricted common stock as described below.
Stock
Options Granted
As
noted
above, on February 15, 2005, because TDN agreed to reduce their licensing
fee,
the Company issued an option to purchase up to 18,000,000 post-split shares
of
the
Company's
restricted common stock
at
an
exercise price of $0.07
per
share
,
and a
fair value of $0.
The
Option is exercisable, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time,
for a period of five years from the date of grant. The Option also provides
TDN
with "piggyback" registration rights for all shares underlying the Option
on any
registration statement filed by the Company for a period of one year following
any exercise of the Option.
This
issuance was valued at $0 because as of the date of issuance, the Company
was
under no obligation for payment to TDN since no sales of the product had
occurred and no liability, therefore, had been generated. The issuance was
granted primarily to induce TDN to reduce its future right to a royalty from
sales of the product.
NOTE
4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On
November 24, 2004, Oswald & Yap, A Professional Corporation (“O&Y”),
formerly counsel to the Company, filed a complaint in the Superior Court of
California, County of Orange, Case No. 04CC11623, against the Company, seeking
recovery of allegedly unpaid legal fees in the amount of $50,984.86 in
connection with the legal representation of the Company. Subsequently the amount
claimed of unpaid legal fees was reduced to $37,378.43 because it was discovered
that O&Y did not properly credit all of the payments that were made by the
Company to O&Y. The amount of $37,378.43 was deposited in an escrow account
by the Company on July 5, 2005. The complaint includes causes of action for
breach of contract. The Company disputes the amounts claimed alleging that
O&Y’s services were otherwise unsatisfactory. On May 9, 2005, O&Y
submitted an Offer to Compromise for a $0 payment by the Company to O&Y in
exchange for mutual releases which the Company rejected.
The
Company filed a cross-complaint against O&Y alleging breach of contract,
professional negligence, negligent representation, and breach of good faith
and
fiduciary duty. The Company is seeking damages in an unspecified amount for
costs, legal fees and losses incurred. O&Y has vigorously disputed the
claims set forth in the cross-complaint and has indicated its intention, should
it prevail in its defense, to institute a malicious prosecution action against
the Company, Nasser Hamedani, Sholeh Hamedani and Company counsel.
A
cross-claim was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange,
Case No. 04CC11623 by the Comapny against O&Y, and the principal allegation
is that O&Y was retained to assist its predecessor company in the purchase
and acquisition of D.W.C. Installations with the expectation that D.W.C. had
available free-trading shares such that the Comapny could immediately raise
capital on the relevant markets and that in advising
the
Company through the purchase, O&Y failed to properly advise the Comapny as
to the status of D.W.C. Installations and its shares which in fact were not
free-trading. As a result of this conduct, the Comapny alleges damages in an
unspecified amount but including purchase costs, extended operation costs,
refiling costs, audit costs, legal fees, loan fees, lost market share, and
costs
for registration. Trial on the complaint and cross-complaint is set to proceed
on December 17, 2007.
There
is
a contingent liability in connection with a Stock Purchase Agreement executed
on
October 11, 2002 between identified Shareholders and identified Purchasers.
Under the terms of Stock Purchase Agreement, a payment of $150,000 is due to
be
paid into escrow in part consideration for purchase of the stock of D.W.C.
Installations, Inc. The payment date is designated as 90 days from the date
that
the Company’s [D.W.C. Installations, Inc., a Nevada Corporation] shares of
common stock become quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board system. The
shares became quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board system on December
23, 2004. If this payment is not made, there could be exposure in connection
with the identified shareholders’ efforts to collect the amounts allegedly due.
The
Company was subject to a claim by Stonefield Josephson, Inc., the former
accountants for the Company, seeking reimbursement costs for legal fees spent
in
connection with the Securities and Exchange Commission inquiry of the Company.
Stonefield Josephson, Inc.’s claim seeks recovery of $29,412.74. The Company
disputes any amounts owed because of a settlement agreement entered into between
the respective parties in December 2004 effectively terminating their
relationship. This matter was submitted to binding arbitration through AAA
in
January 2007. The arbitrator’s decision was issued on February 2, 2007, awarding
Stonefield Josephson, Inc. the sum of $19,000 accruing at an interest rate
of
10% per annum. The decision also awarded costs and fees to Stonefield
Josepheson, Inc. in the amount of $1,425.00 both of which remain unpaid.
On
August
25, 2006, the Company filed a complaint against its former accountants
Stonefield Josephson, Inc., and its principal Dean Skupen, in the Superior
Court
of California, County of Alameda, Case No. VG06286054 alleging breach of
contract, promissory estoppel, breach of implied covenant of good faith and
fair
dealing, negligent misrepresentation, fraud, and unfair business practices
arising out of defendants’ alleged failure to properly perform contractual
obligations. The matter was subsequently transferred to Los Angeles Superior
Court and is presently pending there.
On
September 27, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filed a
complaint in the United States District Court Northern District of California
Case No. C066003CW, against among others the Company, and its CEO Sholeh
Hamedani, alleging against one or more defendants violations of Section 10(b)
of
the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5, violations of Section 13(a) of the Exchange
Act
and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11, 13a-13, violations of Section 13(b)(2)(A)
of
the Exchange Act by the Comapny, Violations of Section 13(b)(2)(B) of the
Exchange Act by the Comapny, Violations of Section 13(b)(5) of the Exchange
Act
and Rule 13b2-1, 13b2-2, 13a-14, 16(a). The complaint generally alleges that
the
Company and the individual defendants made false or misleading public statements
regarding the Company’s business and operations, made false statements in
various filings with the Commission and in particular the June 2005 Annual
Report and Restatement and 2005 Current and Quarterly Reports, and that
defendants or some of them induced investment in the Company through
misrepresentation and omissions. The complaint seeks disgorgement, unspecified
monetary damages, injunctive relief and other relief against the defendants.
The
Company has answered the complaint. Trial in the matter has been set for March
31, 2008.
The
Company is currently seeking resolution of the SEC complaint by virtue of
settlement. A potential settlement likely may include the Company and/or
its principals consenting, without admitting or denying the allegations, to
a
judgment alleging negligent, reckless, and intentional violations of the
federal securities laws, and other sanctions including substantial penalties.
These penalties could range from current key members of management being barred
from serving as either directors or officers of the Company to also including
financial penalties and disgorgement of all profits derived by the Company
and/or its principals who raised funds through the sale of Company stock to
third parties. Any proposed settlement will be subject to the Commission’s
approval and the Company cannot predict the outcome of these settlement
negotiations. Additionally, there is no assurance that the Company will receive
a settlement offer. Moreover, there is no assurance that the settlement offer
(if any) will be acceptable to the Company and the prospect of litigation
could ensue which could seriously compromise the Company's ability to achieve
its goals.
Adverse
outcomes in some or all of the claims pending against the Company may result
in
significant monetary damages or injunctive relief against the Company that
could
adversely affect the Company’s ability to conduct its business. Although
management currently believes that resolving all of these matters, individually
or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s
financial position or results of operations, the litigation and other claims
are
subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may
change in the future. There exists the possibility of a material adverse impact
on the Company’s financial position and the results of operations for the period
in which the effect of an unfavorable final outcome becomes probable and
reasonably estimable.
We
are
not aware of any other pending or threatened litigation that could have a
material adverse effect on our business. From inception, Shadrack, the majority
shareholder of the company, has advanced to the Company approximately $1.5
million for operations. While the exact amount of the disgorgement of profits
and/or penalties cannot be determined at this time, the ability to pay them
by
the Company or the Chief Executive Officer is a serious question. Any proposed
settlement will be subject to the Commission’s approval. The Company
cannot predict the outcome of any settlement negotiations, the staff’s
investigation, or the ultimate Commission action should these settlement
negotiations fail. The Company does not yet have a settlement offer. Management
and counsel to the Company are currently waiting to see if they will receive
one
from the Commission's staff. Additionally, there is no assurance that the
Company will receive a settlement offer. Moreover, there is no assurance that
their settlement offer (if any) will be acceptable to the Company and
the prospect of litigation could ensue which could seriously compromise the
Company's ability to achieve its goals.
On
September 27, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filed a
complaint in the United States District Court Northern District of California
Case No. C066003CW, against among others the Company, and certain of its
officers alleging against one or more defendants violations of Section 10(b)
of
the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5, violations of Section 13(a) of the Exchange
Act
and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11, 13a-13, violations of Section 13(b)(2)(A)
of
the Exchange Act by the Company, Violations of Section 13(b)(2)(B) of the
Exchange Act by the Company, Violations of Section 13(b)(5) of the Exchange
Act
and Rule 13b2-1, 13b2-2, 13a-14, 16(a). The complaint generally alleges that
the
Company and the individual defendants made false or misleading public statements
regarding the Company’s business and operations, made false statements in
various filings with the Commission and in particular the June 2005 Annual
Report and Restatement and 2005 Current and Quarterly Reports, and that
defendants or some of them induced investment in the Company through
misrepresentation and omissions. The complaint seeks disgorgement, unspecified
monetary damages, injunctive relief and other relief against the defendants.
The
Company has not yet filed its formal response.
As
discussed above, the Company has claims and lawsuits against it that may result
in adverse outcomes. Adverse outcomes in some or all of the claims pending
against the Company may result in significant monetary damages or injunctive
relief against it that could adversely affect its ability to conduct business.
Although management currently believes that resolving all of these matters,
individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on
the
Company’s financial position or results of operations, the litigation and other
claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these
matters may change in the future. There exists the possibility of a material
adverse impact on the Company’s financial position and the results of operations
for the period in which the effect of an unfavorable final outcome becomes
probable and reasonably estimable.
On
February 25, 2005, the Company entered into a one-year agreement with Crosslink
Financial Communications, Inc., a California corporation, for consulting
services related to stockholder communications and public relations with
existing shareholders, brokers, dealers and other investment professionals.
The
principal shareholder of Crosslink is William L. Arnold. As compensation for
these services, Crosslink received 200,000 restricted post-split shares of
the
Company's common stock valued at $0.33 per share, monthly stock compensation
of
8,000 restricted post-split shares of common stock, and $5,000 per month from
which Crosslink paid for complementary services (e.g., other mailing services,
email services, data base extensions) of not less than $1,500 per month up
to an
average of $2,500 per month. During the year ended December 31, 2005, Crosslink
received a total of 280,000 restricted post-split shares of the Company’s common
stock under this agreement. The agreement with Crosslink Financial
Communications, Inc. was terminated at the end of December 2005.
On
December 30, 2005, William L. Arnold, the principal shareholder of Crosslink
was
appointed by the Chairman to act as President of the Company under an Executive
Employment Agreement with the same date. Compensation includes a monthly salary
of $10,000, of which $2,500 per month is deferred with 9% accrued interest
until
January 2007.
The
agreement also includes
a
combination of nonqualified and qualified stock options (the Stock Option).
The
Stock Option is for the purchase of up to 1,000,000 post-split shares at an
option price of $0.55 per share, and expires on December 31, 2010. The closing
market price was $0.48 per share on the date of the agreement. One half of
the
Stock Option vested immediately and the remaining 500,000 option shares will
vest at the rate of 1/36
th
each
month until fully vested. Commencing on September 1, 2006 Mr. Arnold took a
voluntary unpaid leave of absence. During Mr. Arnold’s leave of absence the
vesting of his options were suspended. Of the 500,000 option shares which vest
immediately, 360,000 are Incentive Stock Options (ISO’s). The remaining 640,000
option shares are non-qualified.
Additionally the agreement includes a performance bonus of up to 50% of the
annual salary to be paid on or before the sixtieth day following the
close of the Company's fiscal year, provided that the Employee meets the
performance standards as established by Board of Directors. Pursuant to
this provision, $40,000 was accrued as an expense for the period of January
1
through August 31, 2006. If the stock-based compensation provisions of
SFAS No. 123R had been adopted prior to January 1, 2006, the fair
value of the 500,000 shares which vested on December 30, 2005 under the Stock
Option would have been recorded at $235,000
.
On
February 15, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors granted Tyler Wheeler, the
Company’s Chief Software Architect Consultant and a director, an option to
purchase up to 1,000,000 post-split shares of the Company’s restricted common
stock at an exercise price of $0.07, and a fair value of $315,000. The option
is
exercisable, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, for a period
of five years from the date of grant. This option to purchase Company shares
was
based on a fair market value of $0.315 per post-split share. The option was
valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which was developed for
estimating the fair value of traded options, and taking into account that the
exercisable option shares are restricted.
On
April
7, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with Convergys Customer
Management Group Inc. of Cincinnati, Ohio to provide subscriber management
services, including inbound telephone coverage 24/7, capturing caller
information, providing toll-free numbers and daily reporting of orders and
leads. The term of the agreement begins on April 7, 2005 and continues until
the
expiration of 30 days after either party gives the other party written notice
of
its intent to terminate. Under this agreement, inbound live phone services
are
billed at $0.75 per minute for the first million minutes annually, $0.732 for
the second million minutes and $0.714 per minute thereafter. The minimum
purchase commitment is $2,500 per month, which is waived for the first year
of
service. The Convergys relationship is established, but their telemarketing
services will not commence until the Infomercial marketing begins. On February
12, 2007, this agreement was replaced by a new agreement as explained in Note
9
- Subsequent Events.
On
April
21, 2006, the Company announced that it had entered into a six-month consulting
agreement with Karin Tobiason for public relations services. This agreement
was
terminated shortly thereafter. No services were performed under the agreement,
and the initial payment of $5,000 was fully refunded.
On
June
9, 2006, the Company entered into a public relations consulting agreement with
Brazer Communications of Mill Valley, CA to launch a media relations campaign
to
increase public awareness of the Company and its product. Under this agreement,
overall fees were set at $4,700 per month for the contract period of six months
ended on December 8, 2006. In addition to the monthly fees, on the date of
the
agreement 15,600 restricted post-split shares were awarded to two principals
of
Brazer Communications. The fair market value of these shares was $7,800, and
was
amortized over the period of the agreement.
NOTE
5 - COMMON STOCK
On
February 15, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a 2 for 1 forward
split of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock to shareholders
of
record on March 7, 2005, in the form of a 100% stock dividend. The effective
date of the forward split on the NASDAQ OTC: BB was March 11, 2005.
During
the year ended December 31, 2006, 15,600 common shares were issued to Brazer
Communications under a public relations consulting agreement, as explained
in
Note 4. No other new shares were issued by the Company during 2006.
NOTE
6 - INCOME TAX
ES
As
of
December 31, 2006, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for federal
income tax purposes of $2,459,577. This net operating loss carryforward, if
not
used, will begin to expire in 2022. Deferred tax assets (liabilities) are
comprised of the following as of December 31, 2006:

For
the
year ended December 31, 2006, the valuation allowance was increased by $432,860
due to uncertainties surrounding the realization of the deferred tax assets,
resulting from the Company’s net book loss of $1,086,994 for the year and an
accumulated deficit of $4,150,386 at December 31, 2006.
The
valuation allowance has been estimated in an amount equal to the projected
future benefit of the loss carryforward due to the assumption the Company may
not generate sufficient income to utilize the future tax benefit.
The
valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax asset to a level
which, more likely than not, will be realized.
The
provision (benefit) for income taxes differs from the provision (benefit) amount
computed by applying the statutory federal tax rate (34%) to the taxable loss
due to the following:

NOTE
9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On
January 9, 2007, the Company signed a 12-month co-location agreement with
Evocative, Inc. to house the Company’s search engine, servers and related
equipment at Evocative’s data center in Emeryville, California. This agreement
replaced a similar 13-month agreement which began in October 2003 and was
continued on a month to month basis. The new agreement adds a managed firewall
service. The basic annual cost under this agreement is $35,988.
On
February 12, 2007, a new agreement was executed with Convergys Customer
Management Group Inc to replace the existing agreement for subscriber management
services described in Note 4. The term of the agreement continues until the
expiration of 30 days after either party gives the other party written notice
of
its intent to terminate. Under this agreement, inbound live phone services
are
billed at $0.738 per minute for the first million minutes annually, $0.72 for
the second million minutes and $0.702 per minute thereafter. The minimum
purchase commitment is $2,500 per month, which is waived for the first three
months of service.
On
March
29, 2007, the Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with Tim
T.
Turner, whereby Mr. Turner will become the Director of Finance and Operations
for the Company upon the Company obtaining Directors and Officers Insurance
Mr.
Turner will be appointed an officer of the Company and made a member of the
Company’s Board of Directors. The agreement states that Mr. Turner
shall
receive
a yearly salary of $157,500. He shall earn a monthly salary of $13,125 of which
$5,000 will be paid in cash and $8,125 shall be deferred and accrued for a
maximum period of twelve months from the date of this Agreement. In the event
that the Company raises, during this twelve-month period, additional capital,
through loans, equity investment or both, in the aggregate sum of one million
dollars, Mr. Turners monthly cash compensation shall be increased to $6,562.50.
The balance of Mr. Turner’s monthly compensation of $6,562.50 shall be deferred
and accrued.
At
the
end of the twelve month period, the total amount of Mr. Turner’s deferred
compensation shall be payable by the Company, and the cash compensation will
be
increased to $13,125 per month.
In
the
event that the Company, acting in good faith, determines that it does not have
the resources to pay Mr. Turner deferred compensation, Mr. Turner and the
Company agree that the total amount of deferred compensation will be converted
into a note payable to Mr. Turner by the Company. The Note shall have a term
of
one year and shall accrue interest at the annual rate of 7.75%, or 2.5 % above
the Federal Funds Rate then in effect, whichever amount is higher, payable
at
the end of each calendar month. At the end of the Note term, the principal
amount and any unpaid earned interest shall be due and payable. The Note will
have a Warrant attached to it that will enable the holder to purchase shares
of
the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock
that will be purchasable under the terms of the Warrant will be equal to the
principal amount of the Note multiplied by four and divided by the then current
market price of the Company’s common stock. The Warrant Shares will be
unregistered and subject to Rule 144. The Warrant Shares shall have piggyback
registration rights. The term of the Warrant will be five years from the date
of
issue. Mr. Turner’s monthly salary will otherwise be payable pursuant to the
Company’s normal payroll practices. The Note will continue to be due and payable
with interest from the date issued.
In
addition to the Base Salary, Mr. Turner shall participate in a bonus program
in
which Mr. Turner will earn an annual bonus equal to 50% of Mr. Turner’s Base
Salary subject to Mr. Turner meeting the performance objectives established
by
the Company.
On

Plan.
5
.

determination to grant such Option, unless otherwise specified by the Committee.
The Stock Option Agreement and a copy of the Plan will be delivered to the
Participant within a reasonable time after the granting of the
Option.
5
.
3
Exercise
Period
.
Options
shall be exercisable within the times or upon the events determined by the
Committee as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement;
provided,
however,
that no
Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the
date

exercisable at one time or from time to time, periodically or otherwise, in
such
number or percentage as the Committee determines.
5
.
4
Exercise
Price
.
The
Exercise Price shall be determined by the Committee when the Option is granted
and may be not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value
of
the Shares on the date of grant; provided that (i) the Exercise Price of an
ISO
shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value

Options
may be exercised only by delivery to the Company of a written stock option
exercise agreement (the "
Exercise
Agreement
")
in a
form approved by the Committee (which need not be the same for each
Participant), stating the number of Shares being purchased, the restrictions
imposed on the Shares, if any, and such representations and agreements regarding
Participant's investment intent and access to information and other matters,
if
any, as may be required or desirable by the Company to comply with applicable
securities laws, together with appropriate payment of the Exercise Price for
the

5
.
6
Termination
.
Notwithstanding the exercise periods set forth in the Stock Option Agreement,
exercise of an Option shall always be subject to the following:
|
(
a
)
|
If
Participant is Terminated for any reason, other than death or disability,
Participant may exercise his or her Option only within three (3)
months
following the Participant’s Termination, unless otherwise provided by the
Committee (but in no event later than the expiration of the term
of such
Option as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement). Except as provided
in
Section 5.6(b) below, any ISO that remains exercisable after three
(3)
months from the date of Termination shall be deemed a NSO. Any exercise
hereunder after the date of Termination shall be limited to those
Shares
under the Option that have vested as of the date of Termination.
If, on
the date of Termination, Participant is not vested as to his or her
entire
Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option
shall
revert to the Plan. If, after Termination, Participant does not exercise
his or her Option within the time specified, the Option shall terminate,
and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the
Plan.
|
|
(
b
)
|
If
the Participant is terminated because of death or Disability (or
the
Participant dies within three (3) months of such termination), then
Participant's Options may be exercised only to the extent that such
Options would have been exercisable by Participant on the Termination
Date
and must be exercised by Participant (or Participant's legal
representative or authorized assignee) no later than twelve (12)
months
after the Termination Date (or such shorter time period as may be
specified in the Stock Option Agreement), but in any event no later
than
the expiration date of the Options;
provided,
however,
that in the event of termination due to Disability other than as
defined
in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, any ISO that remains exercisable
after
ninety (90) days after the Termination Date shall be deemed a
NSO.
|
5
.
7
Limitations
on Exercise
.
The
Committee may specify a reasonable minimum number of Shares that may be
purchased on any exercise of an Option;
provided,
however,
that
such minimum number will not prevent Participant from exercising the Option
for
the full number of Shares for which it is then exercisable.
5
.
8
Limitations
on ISOs
.
The
aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of Shares
with
respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during
any calendar year (under the Plan or under any other incentive stock option
plan
of the Company or any Affiliate, Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) shall
not
exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). If the Fair Market Value of
Shares on the date of grant with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for
the
first time by a Participant during any calendar year exceeds One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the Options for the first One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) worth of Shares to become exercisable in such calendar year
shall be ISOs and the Options for the amount in excess of One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) that become exercisable in that calendar year shall be NSOs.
In the event that the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder are amended
after the Effective Date of the Plan to provide for a different limit on the
Fair Market Value of Shares permitted to be subject to ISOs, such different
limit shall be automatically incorporated herein and shall apply to any Options
granted after the effective date of such amendment.
5
.
9
Modification,
Extension or Renewal
.
The
Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options and authorize the
grant of new Options in substitution therefore;
provided,
however,
that any
such action may not without the written consent of Participant, impair any
of
Participant's rights under any Option previously granted. Any outstanding ISO
that is modified, extended, renewed or otherwise altered shall be treated in
accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code. The Committee may reduce the
Exercise Price of outstanding Options without the consent of Participants
affected by a written notice to them;
provided,
however,
that the
Exercise Price may not be reduced below the minimum Exercise Price that would
be
permitted under Section 5.4 of the Plan for Options granted on the date the
action is taken to reduce the Exercise Price.
5
.
10
No
Disqualification
.
Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, no term of the Plan relating
to
ISOs shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or
authority granted under the Plan be exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan
under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of the Participant
affected, to disqualify any ISO under Section 422 of the Code.

be
accepted by the Participant's execution and delivery of the Restricted Stock
Purchase Agreement and full payment for the shares to the Company within thirty
(30) days from the date the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement is delivered
to
the person. If such person does not execute and deliver the Restricted Stock
Purchase Agreement along with full payment for the Shares to the Company within
thirty (30) days, then the offer shall terminate, unless otherwise determined
by
the Committee.
6
.
2
Purchase
Price
.
The
Purchase Price of Shares sold pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award shall be
determined by the Committee and shall be at least eighty-five percent (85%)

Fair
Market Value. Payment of the Purchase Price may be made in accordance with
Section 8 of the Plan.

Restrictions
.
Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee
may impose. The Committee may provide for the lapse of such restrictions in
installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions, in whole or in
part,

the
Committee may determine. Restricted Stock Awards which the Committee intends
to
qualify under Code section 162(m) shall be subject to a performance-based goal.
Restrictions on such stock shall lapse based on one or more of the following
performance goals: stock price, market share, sales increases, earning per
share, return on equity, cost reductions, or any other similar performance
measure established by the Committee. Such performance measures shall be
established by the Committee, in writing, no later than the earlier of (a)
ninety (90) days after the commencement of the performance period with respect
to which the Restricted Stock award is made and (b) the date as of which
twenty-five percent (25%) of such performance period has elapsed.

A
Stock Bonus may be awarded for past services already rendered to the Company,
or
any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company pursuant to an Award
Agreement (the "Stock Bonus Agreement") that shall be in such form (which need
not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee shall from time to time
approve, and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of
the
Plan subject to Section 7.2 herein, a Stock Bonus may be awarded upon
satisfaction of such performance goals as are set out in advance in
Participant's individual Award Agreement (the "Performance Stock Bonus
Agreement") that shall be in such form (which need not be the same for each
Participant) as the Committee shall from time to time approve, and shall comply
with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. Stock Bonuses

Code
Section 162(m)

one
or more of the following performance goals: stock price, market share, sales
increases, earning per share, return on equity, cost reductions, or any other
similar performance measure established by the Committee. Such performance
measures shall be established by the Committee, in writing, no later than the

Terms
of Stock Bonuses
.
The
Committee shall determine the number of Shares to be awarded to the Participant
and whether such Shares shall be Restricted Stock. If the Stock Bonus is being
earned upon the satisfaction of performance goals pursuant to a Performance
Stock Bonus Agreement, then the Committee shall determine: (a) the nature,
length and starting date of any period during which performance is to be
measured (the "Performance Period") for each Stock Bonus; (b) the performance
goals and criteria to be used to measure the performance, if any; (c) the number
of Shares that may be awarded to the Participant; and (d) the extent to which
such Stock Bonuses have been earned. Performance Periods may overlap and
Participants may participate simultaneously with respect to Stock Bonuses that
are subject to different Performance Periods and different performance goals
and
other criteria. The number of Shares may be fixed or may vary in accordance
with
such performance goals and criteria as may be determined by the Committee.
The
Committee may adjust the performance goals applicable to the Stock Bonuses
to
take into account changes in law and accounting or tax rules and to make such
adjustments as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect the
impact of extraordinary or unusual items, events or circumstances to avoid
windfalls or hardships.

promissory note, such note has been fully paid with respect to such
Shares); or (2) were obtained by Participant in the public
market;
|
|
(
c
)
|
by
tender of a promissory note constituting legal consideration and

that is
a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an "NASD
Dealer") whereby the Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the
Option
and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise
Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt
of
such Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company;

In
the event that the Option is exercised immediately prior to the closing
by
the Company of a "corporate transaction" as defined in Section 18.1
below,
or the closing of the initial public offering of the Company’s Common
Stock pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act
(the
“
Initial
Public Offering
”),
in lieu of exercising the Option in the manner provided above, the
Participant may elect to receive shares equal to the value of the
Option
(or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of the Option
at the
principal office of the Company together with notice of such election
in
which event the Company shall issue to holder a number of shares
of Common
Stock computed using the following
formula:

fair market value of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such
calculation).

= The
Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

For
purposes of this Section (g), the fair market value of the Company’s
Common Stock shall be the price per share which the Company receives
for a
single share of Common Stock in the corporate transaction, or, if
the
Option is exercised in connection with the Initial Public Offering,
the
fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock shall be equal to the
mid-price of the range of prices set forth in the registration statement
relating to the Initial Public Offering or, if a subsequent amendment
thereto sets forth a different range of prices (other than a “pricing
amendment” setting forth a single, final price) then the mid-price of the
range of prices set forth in such amendment;

Whenever
Shares are to be issued in satisfaction of Awards granted under the Plan, the
Company may require the Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient
to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the
delivery of any certificate or certificates for such Shares. Whenever, under
the
Plan, payments in satisfaction of Awards are to be made in cash, such payment

Stock
Withholding
.
When,
under applicable tax laws, a Participant incurs tax liability in connection
with
the grant, exercise or vesting of any Award that is subject to tax withholding
and the Participant is obligated to pay the Company the amount required to
be
withheld, the Committee may allow the Participant to satisfy the minimum
withholding tax obligation by electing to have the Company withhold from the
Shares to be issued that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal
to
the minimum amount required to be withheld, determined on the date that the
amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax Date"). All elections
by a Participant to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in
writing in a form acceptable to the Committee and shall be subject to the
following restrictions:
|
(
a
)
|
the
election must be made on or prior to the applicable Tax Date;

once
made, then except as provided below, the election shall be irrevocable
as
to the particular Shares as to which the election is
made;
|
|
(
c
)
|
all
elections shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of the
Committee;
|
|
(
d
)
|
if
the Participant is an Insider and if the Company is subject to Section
16(b) of the Exchange Act: (1) the election may not be made within
six (6)
months of the date of grant of the Award, except as otherwise permitted
by
SEC Rule 16b-3(e) under the Exchange Act, and (2) either (A) the
election
to use stock withholding must be irrevocably made at least six (6)
months
prior to the Tax Date (although such election may be revoked at any
time
at least six (6) months prior to the Tax Date), or (B) the exercise
of the
Option or election to use stock withholding must be made in the ten
(10)
day period beginning on the third day following the release of the
Company's quarterly or annual summary statement of sales or earnings;
and
|
|
(
e
)
|
in
the event that the Tax Date is deferred under Section 83 of the Code,
the
Participant shall receive the full number of Shares with respect
to which
the exercise occurs, but such Participant shall be unconditionally
obligated to tender back to the Company the proper number of Shares
on the
Tax Date.

the
Company to hold in escrow until such restrictions have lapsed or terminated,
and
the Committee may cause a legend or legends referencing such restrictions to
be
placed on the certificates. Any Participant who is permitted to execute a
promissory note as partial or full consideration for the purchase of Shares
under the Plan shall be required to place and deposit with the Company all
or
part of the Shares so purchased as collateral to secure the payment of
Participant's obligation to the Company under the promissory note;
provided,

that the
Committee may require or accept other or additional forms of collateral to
secure the payment of such obligation and, in any event, the Company shall
have
full recourse against the Participant under the promissory note notwithstanding
any pledge of the Participant's Shares or other collateral. In connection with
any pledge of the Shares, Participant shall be required to execute and deliver
a
written pledge agreement in such form as the Committee shall from time to time
approve. The Shares purchased with the promissory note may be released from
the
pledge on a pro rata basis as the promissory note is paid.

agree.

obligation to issue or deliver certificates for Shares under the Plan prior
to
(a) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company
determines are necessary or advisable, and/or (b) completion of any registration
or other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or ruling
of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or
advisable. The Company shall be under no obligation to register the Shares
with
the SEC or to effect compliance with the registration, qualification or listing
requirements of any state securities laws, stock exchange or automated quotation
system, and the Company shall have no liability for any inability or failure
to
do so.

in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall confer or be deemed to
confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue
any other relationship with, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate
of the Company or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Parent,
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company to terminate Participant's employment

Assumption
or Replacement of Awards by Successor
.
In the
event of (a) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving
corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned
subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or
other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the stockholders
of
the company and the Awards granted under the Plan are assumed or replaced by
the
successor corporation, which assumption shall be binding on all Participants);
(b) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (c) the sale of substantially
all of the assets of the Company; or (d) any other transaction which qualifies
as a "corporate transaction" under Section 424(a) of the Code wherein the
stockholders of the Company give up all of their equity interest in the Company
(
except
for the
acquisition, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the outstanding
shares of the Company), any or all outstanding Awards may be assumed or replaced
by the successor corporation (if any), which assumption or replacement shall
be
binding on all Participants. In the alternative, the successor corporation
may
substitute equivalent Awards or provide substantially similar consideration
to
Participants as was provided to stockholders (after taking into account the
existing provisions of the Awards). The successor corporation may also issue,
in
place of outstanding Shares of the Company held by the Participant,
substantially similar shares or other property subject to repurchase
restrictions no less favorable to the Participant.
In
the
event such successor corporation (if any) refuses to assume or substitute
Options, as provided above, pursuant to a transaction described in this
Subsection 18.1, the vesting of any unvested Options shall accelerate, and
the
holders thereof shall be provided notice of such acceleration and an opportunity
to exercise the Options in full in the transaction, and such Options shall
expire in such transaction at such time and on such conditions as the Board
shall determine.

to any greater rights granted to Participants under the foregoing provisions
of
this Section 18, in the event of the occurrence of any transaction described
in
Section 18.1, any outstanding Awards shall be treated as provided in the
applicable agreement or plan of merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation,
sale of assets or other "corporate transaction."
18
.

Assumption
of Awards by the Company
.
The
Company, from time to time, also may substitute or assume outstanding awards
granted by another company, whether in connection with an acquisition of such
other company or otherwise, by either (a) granting an Award under the Plan
in substitution of such other company's award; or (b) assuming such award
as if it had been granted under the Plan if the terms of such assumed award
could be applied to an Award granted under the Plan. Such substitution or
assumption shall be permissible if the holder of the substituted or assumed
award would have been eligible to be granted an Award under the Plan if the
other company had applied the rules of the Plan to such grant. In the event
the
Company assumes an award granted by another company, the terms and conditions
of
such award shall remain unchanged (
except
that the
exercise price and the number and nature of Shares issuable upon exercise of
any
such option will be adjusted approximately pursuant to Section 424(a) of the
Code). In the event the Company elects to grant a new Option rather than
assuming an existing option, such new Option may be granted with a similarly
adjusted Exercise Price.
19
.
Adoption
and Stockholder Approval
.
The Plan
shall become effective on the date that it is adopted by the Board (the
"Effective Date"). The Plan shall be approved by the stockholders of the Company
(excluding Shares issued pursuant to this Plan), consistent with applicable
laws, within twelve months before or after the Effective Date. Upon the
Effective Date, the Board may grant Awards pursuant to the Plan;
provided,
however,
that:
(a) no Option may be exercised prior to initial stockholder approval of the
Plan; (b) no Option granted pursuant to an increase in the number of Shares
approved by the Board shall be exercised prior to the time such increase has
been approved by the stockholders of the Company; and (c) in the event that
stockholder approval is not obtained within the time period provided herein,
all
Awards granted hereunder shall be cancelled, any Shares issued pursuant to
any
Award shall be cancelled and any purchase of Shares hereunder shall be
rescinded. After the Company becomes subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act, the Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (or its
successor), as amended, with respect to stockholder approval.
20
.
Term
of Plan
.
The Plan
will terminate ten (10) years from the Effective Date or, if earlier, the date
of stockholder approval of the Plan.
21
.
Amendment
or Termination of Plan
.
The
Board may at any time terminate or amend the Plan in any respect, including
without limitation amendment of any form of Award Agreement or instrument to
be
executed pursuant to the Plan;
provided,
however,
that the
Board shall not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, amend
the Plan in any manner that requires such stockholder approval pursuant to
the
Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder as such provisions apply to
ISO
plans or pursuant to the Exchange Act or Rule 16b-3 (or its successor), as
amended, thereunder. Any amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall
not affect Awards already granted, and such Awards shall remain in full force
and effect as if the Plan had not been amended, suspended or terminated, unless
mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Company, which
agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the
Company.
22
.
Nonexclusivity
of the Plan
.
Neither
the adoption of the Plan by the Board, the submission of the Plan to the
stockholders of the Company for approval, nor any provision of the Plan shall
be
construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such
additional compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable, including,
without limitation, the granting of stock options and bonuses otherwise than
under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or
applicable only in specific cases.

This Option may be exercised for
Sixty
days after termination of the Optionee's employment or consulting

Period
").
In the event of the Optionee's change in status from employee to

from

period
after such change in status. In no event shall this Option be exercised
later than the Term/Expiration Date as provided
above.

Grant
of Option
.
THE
CHILDREN’S INTERNET, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “
Company
”),
hereby grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Stock Option
Grant
(the “
Optionee
”),
an option (the “
Option
”)
to purchase the total number of shares of Common Stock (the “
Shares
”)
set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, at the exercise price
per
share set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “
Exercise
Price
”)
subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Company’s The
Children’s Internet, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “
Plan
”)
adopted by the Company, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Unless
otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have
the
same defined meanings in this Option
Agreement.
|
If
designated in the Notice of Stock Option Grant as an Incentive Stock Option,
this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined
in
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"
Code
).
Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds the one hundred thousand dollar
($100,000) annual vesting limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code, this Option
shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
a.
Right
to Exercise
.
This
Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting
Schedule set out in the Notice of Stock Option Grant and with the applicable
provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. In the event of termination
of
Optionee’s Continuous Status as an
employee
,
director or
consultant
,
this
Option shall be exercisable in accordance with the applicable provisions of
the
Plan and this Option Agreement. This Option shall be subject to the provisions
of Section 18 of the Plan relating to the exercisability or termination of
the
Option in the event of certain corporate transactions such as mergers,
reorganizations and the like.
b.
Method
of Exercise
.
This
Option shall be exercisable only by delivery of an Exercise Notice (attached
as
Exhibit A) which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the whole
number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, such other
representations and agreements as to the holder’s investment intent with respect
to such Shares and such other provisions as may be required by the
Administrator. Such Exercise Notice shall be signed by the Optionee and shall
be
delivered in person or by certified mail to the Secretary of the Company
accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. The Option shall be deemed to
be
exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by
the
Exercise Price
.
No
Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Option unless such
issuance and such exercise shall comply with all Applicable Laws. Assuming
such
compliance, for income tax purposes, the Shares shall be considered transferred
to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to
such Shares.
c.
Taxes
.
No
Shares will be issued to the Optionee or other person pursuant to the exercise
of the Option until the Optionee or other person has made arrangements
acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of foreign, federal, state
and local income and employment tax withholding obligations.
5.
|
Method
of Payment
.
Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or
a
combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee, provided, however,
that such exercise method does not then violate an Applicable
Law:
|
(a)
cash;
(b)
check;
(c)
delivery of a properly executed Exercise Notice together with such other
documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if applicable, shall require
to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of the sale
or
loan proceeds required to pay the Exercise Price.
|
(d)
|
If
at the time of exercise the Company's Common Stock is publicly traded
and
quoted regularly in the Wall Street Journal, payment of the exercise
price, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations,
may
be made by delivery of already owned shares of Common Stock, or a
combination of cash and already owned Common Stock. Such Common Stock
shall be valued at its Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan)
on its
date of exercise, and (ii) if originally acquired from the Company,
must
have been owned by Optionee for at least six months and be owned
free and
clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security
interests.
|
|
(e)
|
(1)
In the event that the Option is exercised immediately prior to the
closing
by the Company of a "
corporate
transaction
"
as defined in Section 18.1 of the Plan, or the closing of the initial
public offering of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to a registration
statement under the Securities Act (the “
Initial
Public Offering
”),
in lieu of exercising the Option in the manner provided above, the
Optionee may elect to receive shares equal to the value of the Option
(or
the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Option at
the
principal office of the Company together with notice of such election
in
which event the Company shall issue to holder a number of shares
of Common
Stock computed using the following
formula:
|
X
=
Y
(A -
B)
A
Where
X
= The
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Participant.
Y
= The
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Option (at the date
of
such calculation).
A
= The
fair market value of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such
calculation).
B
= The
Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
(2)
For
purposes of this Section (f), the fair market value of the Company’s Common
Stock shall be the price per share which the Company receives for a single
share
of Common Stock in the corporate transaction, or, if the Option is exercised
in
connection with the Initial Public Offering, the fair market value of the
Company’s Common Stock shall be equal to the mid-price of the range of prices
set forth in the registration statement relating to the Initial Public Offering
or, if a subsequent amendment thereto sets forth a different range of prices
(other than a “pricing amendment” setting forth a single, final price) then the
mid-price of the range of prices set forth in such amendment.
(f)
The
Optionee may elect to exchange all or some of the Shares subject to the Option
for shares of Common Stock of the Company using the Net Issue Exercise method.
If the Optionee elects to exchange all or some of the Shares subject to the
Option using the Net Issue Exercise method, as provided herein, the Optionee
shall tender to the Company written notice of Optionee’s election to exchange
all or some of the Shares subject to the Option and the number of Shares under
the Option the Optionee wished to exchange and the Company shall issue to the
Optionee the number of Shares computed using the following formula:
X=(Y(A-B))/A
Where:
X=
the
number of Shares to be issued
Y=
the
number of Shares purchasable under the Option being exchanged.
A=
the
Fair Market Value of one share of the Common Stock
B=
Purchase Price as defined herein.
6.
|
Optionee's
Representations
.
By receipt of this Option, by its execution, and by its exercise
in whole
or in part, Optionee represents to the Company
that:
|
a.
Optionee acknowledges that both this Option and any Shares purchased upon its
exercise are securities, the issuance by the Company of which requires
compliance with federal and state securities laws;
b.
Optionee acknowledges that these securities are made available to Optionee
only
on the condition that Optionee makes the representations contained in this
Section to the Company;
c.
Optionee has made a reasonable investigation of the affairs of the Company
sufficient to be well informed as to the rights and the value of these
securities;
d.
Optionee understands that the securities have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "
Act
"),
or
any applicable state law in reliance upon one or more specific exemptions
contained in the Act and any applicable state law, which may include reliance
on

(i)
Optionee's bona fide investment intention in acquiring these securities;
(ii) Optionee's intention to hold these securities in compliance with
federal and state securities laws; (iii) Optionee having no present intention
of
selling or transferring any part thereof (recognizing that the Option is not
transferable) in violation of applicable federal and state securities laws;

(iv) there being certain restrictions on transfer of the Shares subject to
the
Option;
e.
Optionee understands that the Shares subject to this Option, in addition to
other restrictions on transfer, must be held indefinitely unless subsequently

registration under the Act, is only available after the satisfaction of certain
holding periods and in the presence of a public market for the Shares; that
there is no certainty that a public market for the Shares will exist, and that
otherwise it will be necessary that the Shares be sold pursuant to another
exemption from registration which may be difficult to satisfy; and

a
legend prohibiting their transfer in the absence of their registration or the

Laws.

In the
event the Optionee’s Continuous Status as an
employee
,
director or
consultant
terminates, the Optionee may, to the extent otherwise so entitled at the date

Option shall terminate.

within twelve (12) months from the Termination Date (and in no event later
than
the Term/Expiration Date), exercise the Option to the extent otherwise entitled
to exercise it on the Termination Date; provided, however, that if such
disability is not a “disability” as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of
the Code and the Option is an Incentive Stock Option, such Incentive Stock
Option shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be
treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option on the ninety-first (91st) day

by the Optionee only in a manner and to the extent acceptable to

Administrator as evidenced by a writing signed by the Administrator
on
behalf of the Company and the Optionee consenting to such transfer,
which
consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrator.

|
|
12.

|
13.
|
Tax
Consequences
.
Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date of this Option
Agreement
of some of the federal tax consequences of exercise of this Option
and
disposition of the Shares.
THIS
SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS
ARE
SUBJECT TO CHANGE. OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING
THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE
SHARES.
|
a.
Incentive
Stock Options
.
i.
Exercise
of Incentive Stock Option
.
If this
Option qualifies as an Incentive Stock Option, there will be no regular federal
income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option, although the excess,
if
any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the
Exercise Price will be treated as an adjustment to alternative minimum taxable
income for federal tax purposes and may subject the Optionee to the alternative
minimum tax in the year of exercise.
ii.
Exercise
of Incentive Stock Option Following Disability
.
If the
Optionee’s Continuous Status as an employee, director or consultant terminates
as a result of disability that is not total and permanent disability as defined
in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, to the extent permitted on the date of
termination, the Optionee must exercise an Incentive Stock Option within 90
days
of such termination for the Incentive Stock Option to be qualified as an
Incentive Stock Option.
iii.
Disposition
of Shares
.
In the
case of an Incentive Stock Option, if Shares received on exercise of the Option
are held for at least one year after receipt of the Shares and for at least
two
years after the Date of Grant, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares
would be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes.
If
Shares purchased under an Incentive Stock Option are disposed of within the
one-year or two-year periods described above, then under federal tax law any
gain realized on such disposition would be treated as compensation income
taxable at ordinary income rates to the extent of the difference between the
Exercise Price and the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Shares on
the date of exercise or (ii) the sale price of the Shares.
b.
Non-Qualified
Stock Options
.
i.
Exercise
of Non-Qualified Stock Options
.
There
may
be a regular federal income tax liability upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified
Stock Option. The Optionee would generally recognize compensation income
(taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the
Fair
Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price.
If
Optionee is an employee or a former employee, the Company will be required
to
withhold from Optionee’s compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the
applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this
compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the
exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not
delivered at the time of exercise.
ii.
Disposition
of Shares
.
In
the
case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, if Shares are held for more than 12
months, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as
long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes.
|
14.
|
Transfer
Restrictions
|
a.
Restriction
on Transfer
.
Upon
exercise of the Option, Optionee shall not transfer, assign, encumber, or
otherwise dispose of any of the Shares which are subject to any restrictions
or
repurchase rights contained herein.
Subject
to subparagraph (b) below, such restrictions on transfer (other than those
required by the Company to comply with applicable law), however, shall
not
be
applicable to (i) a transfer by gift of the Shares made to the Optionee's spouse
or children, including adopted children, or to a trust for the exclusive benefit
of the Optionee or the Optionee's spouse or children, or (ii) a transfer of
title to the Shares effected pursuant to the Optionee's will or the laws of
intestate succession.

right.

Stock, or (ii) the first sale of Common Stock of the Company to the general

Broker
Instructions.
In
the event I have elected to exercise options via the same day exercise
and
sale method, you are hereby authorized to instruct
________
(the "
Broker
")
to accept the proceeds deriving from the sale of the Shares, and
to take
the following actions: (i) to deduct from the proceeds of the sale
any
Company expenses; (ii) to deduct from the proceeds any tax withholding
requested by the Company and to request in writing from the Company
a
statement of the tax amounts to be withheld, if no request has been
given
by the Company; (iii) to deliver the above amounts so deducted to
the
Company; and (iv) to deliver the remaining proceeds to me as I shall
direct the Broker.
|
These
instructions shall be construed as authorizing the Broker and the Company to
take any other actions reasonably necessary to effect the purposes hereof and
the Broker and the Company may rely upon any statements and undertakings made
herein by the undersigned, as if said statements and undertakings were made
directly to the Broker and the Company.
I
further
acknowledge that I shall bear sole responsibility for any commissions and fees
relating to the performance of these instructions by the Broker or the Company,
and any other banking activities and will, upon demand, indemnify and defend
the
Broker or the Company against any amounts which may be owing in this
regard.
a.
Grant.
The
Company is hereby granted the right (the "
Repurchase
Right
"),
exercisable at any time during the ninety (90)-day period following the date
the
Optionee’s Continuous Status as an employee, director or consultant ceases for
any reason, to repurchase at the Purchase Price all or any portion of the Shares
in which the Optionee has not acquired a vested interest in accordance with
the
vesting provisions hereof (such shares to be hereinafter called the
"
Unvested
Shares
").
b.
Exercise
of the Repurchase Right
.
The
Repurchase Right shall be exercisable by written notice delivered to the
Optionee prior to the expiration of the
ninety
(90)-day period after the Optionee’s Continuous Status as an employee, director
or consultant ceases for any reason. The notice shall indicate the number of
Unvested Shares to be repurchased and the date on which the repurchase is to
be
effected, such date to be not more than thirty (30) days after the date of
notice. The Company shall, concurrently with the receipt of the stock
certificates from escrow in accordance herewith, pay to Optionee in cash or
cash
equivalents (including the cancellation of any purchase-money indebtedness),
an
amount equal to the Purchase Price previously paid for the Unvested Shares
which
are to be repurchased by the Company.
c.
Termination
of the Repurchase Right/Vesting
.
The
Repurchase Right shall terminate with respect to any Shares for which it is
not
timely exercised hereunder.
In
addition, the Repurchase Right shall terminate, and cease to be exercisable,
with respect to any and all Shares in which Optionee vests in accordance with
the option vesting schedule set forth herein. Accordingly, Optionee shall
acquire a vested interest in, and the Repurchase Right shall lapse with respect
to, the Shares at such time as they would otherwise have vested
hereunder.
d.
Fractional
Shares
.
No
fractional shares shall be repurchased by the Company. Accordingly should the
Repurchase Right extend to a fractional share at the time the Optionee’s
Continuous Status as an employee, director or consultant ceases, then such
fractional share shall be added to any fractional share in which the Optionee
is
at such time vested in order to make one whole vested share no longer subject
to
the Repurchase Right.
e.
Additional
Shares or Substituted Securities
.
In the
event of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, or other change
affecting the Company's outstanding Common Stock as a class effected without
receipt of consideration, then any new, substituted, or additional securities
or
other property (including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend)
which is by reason of any such transaction distributed with respect to the
Shares shall be immediately subject to the Repurchase Right, but only to the
extent the Shares are at the time covered by such right. Appropriate adjustments
to reflect the distribution of such securities or property shall be made to
the
number of Shares hereunder and to the price per share to be paid upon the
exercise of the Repurchase Right in order to reflect the effect of any such
transaction upon the Company's capital structure;
provided
.
however, that the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.
f.
Corporate
Transaction
In the
event of any of the following transactions (a "
Corporate
Transaction
"):
(i)
a
merger or acquisition in which the Company is not the surviving entity, except
for a transaction the principal purpose of which is to change the State in
which
the Company is incorporated;
(ii)
the
sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets
of
the Company; or
(iii)
any
reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but in which fifty
percent (50%) or more of the Company's outstanding voting stock is transferred
to holders different from those who held the stock immediately prior to such
merger;
then
the
Repurchase Right shall automatically lapse in its entirety, and the Optionee
shall acquire a vested interest in all the Shares, upon the consummation of
such
Corporate Transaction, unless the acquiror of such assets or capital stock
or
successor corporation agrees that all consideration paid to or exchanged for
any
Unvested Shares shall continue to be subject to the option vesting schedule
set
forth herein based on the Optionee's Continuous Status as an employee, director
or consultant with such acquiror or successor corporation on the same terms
and
conditions as set forth herein.
g.
Assignment
.
In the
event the Company for any reason elects not to exercise the Repurchase Right
pursuant to this Article, the Company may assign it, provided that the
Repurchase Right shall not extend beyond the
ninety
(90)-day period described herein. In the event that the Company and such
assignees do not elect to exercise the Repurchase Right as to all of the shares
of stock subject to it, the Repurchase Right shall expire as to all shares
which
the Company and such assignees have not elected to purchase.
a.
Deposit
.
Upon
issuance, the certificate for any shares
subject
to repurchase rights hereunder shall be deposited in escrow with the Company
to
be held in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Such deposited
certificate shall be accompanied by a duly executed Assignment Separate from
Certificate in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. The deposited certificate,
together with any other assets or securities from time to time deposited with
the Company pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement, shall remain in
escrow until such time or times as the certificate (or other assets and
securities) shall be released or otherwise surrendered for cancellation in
accordance herewith.
b.
Recapitalization
.
Any
cash dividends on the Shares (or other securities at the time held in escrow)
shall be paid directly to the Purchaser and shall not be held in escrow.
However, in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization,
or
other change affecting the Company's outstanding Common Stock as a class
effected without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted, or additional
securities or other property which is by reason of such event distributed with
respect to the Shares shall be immediately delivered to the Company to be held
in escrow under this Section 6, but only to the extent the Shares are at the
time subject to the escrow requirements of paragraph 6.(a).
c.
Release/Surrender
.
The
Shares, together with any other assets or securities held in scrow hereunder,
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions relating to their release
from escrow or their surrender to the Company for repurchase and
cancellation:
(i)
Should the Company (or its assignees) elect to exercise the Repurchase Right
with respect to any Unvested Shares, then the escrowed certificates for such
Unvested Shares (together with any other assets or securities issued with
respect thereto) shall be delivered to the Company for cancellation,
concurrently with the payment to the Purchaser, in cash or cash equivalent
(including the cancellation of any purchase-money indebtedness), of an amount
equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for such Unvested Shares, and the
Purchaser shall cease to have any further rights or claims with respect to
such
Unvested Shares (or other assets or securities).
(ii)
As
the
interest of the Purchaser in the Shares (or any other assets or securities
issued with respect thereto) vests in accordance with the provisions of the
Option Agreement, the certificates for such vested Shares (as well as all other
vested assets and securities) shall be released from escrow and delivered to
the
Purchaser upon the request of the Purchaser, but in no event more frequently
than every 12 months.
(iii)
All
Shares (or other assets or securities) released from escrow in accordance with
the above provisions shall nevertheless remain subject to all other restrictions
applicable thereto (whether under this Agreement or otherwise), until such
provisions terminate in accordance with their terms.
6.
|
Section
83(b) Election
.
The Purchaser understands that under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "
Code
"),
the excess of the fair market value of the Shares on the date any
forfeiture restrictions applicable to such shares lapse over the
Purchase
Price paid for such shares will be reportable as ordinary income
at that
time. For this purpose, the term "
forfeiture
restrictions
"
includes the right of the Company to repurchase a portion of the
Shares
pursuant to this Agreement. Purchaser understands, however, that
Purchaser
may elect to be taxed at the time such Shares are acquired hereunder,
rather than when and as such Shares cease to be subject to such forfeiture
restrictions, by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code
with
the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the date
of
this Agreement. Even if the fair market value of the Shares at the
date of
this Agreement equals the Purchase Price paid (and thus no tax is
payable), the election must be made to avoid adverse tax consequences
in
the future. The form for making this election is attached as Exhibit
B
hereto. Purchaser understands that failure to make this filing within
the
thirty (30) day period will result in the recognition of ordinary
income
by the Purchaser as the forfeiture restrictions lapse. PURCHASER
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS PURCHASER'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT
THE
COMPANY'S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF
PURCHASER REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS
FILING
ON HIS/HER BEHALF.
|
7.
|
Representations
of Purchaser
.
Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has received, read and understood
the Plan and the Option Agreement, and agrees to abide by and be
bound by
their terms and conditions.
|
8.
|
Rights
as Stockholder
.
Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the
books of
the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company)
of the
stock certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive
dividends or any other rights as a Stockholder shall exist with respect
to
the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. In the event
Purchaser has not sold the Shares in a same day exercise and sale,
a share
certificate for the number of Shares so acquired shall be issued
to the
Purchaser as soon as practicable after exercise of the Option. No
adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the
record
date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except
as
provided in the Plan.
|
9.
|
Tax
Consultation; Payment of Taxes
.
Purchaser understands that Purchaser may suffer adverse tax consequences
as a result of Purchaser's purchase or disposition of the Shares.
Purchaser represents that Purchaser has consulted with any tax consultants
Purchaser deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition
of the Shares and that Purchaser is not relying on the Company for
any tax
advice.
|
Purchaser
agrees to satisfy all applicable federal, state and local income and employment
tax withholding obligations with respect to the exercise of the Option and,
if
applicable, the sale of the Shares and will, upon demand, indemnify and defend
the Company and, if applicable, the Broker, against any amounts which may be
owing in this regard. Purchaser also agrees, as partial consideration for the
designation of the Option as an Incentive Stock Option, if applicable, to notify
the Company in writing within thirty (30) days of any disposition of any
Shares acquired by exercise of the Option if such disposition occurs within
two (2) years from the Date of Grant or within one (1) year from the
date the Shares were transferred to Purchaser. If the Company is required to
satisfy any federal, state or local income or employment tax withholding
obligations as a result of such an early disposition, Purchaser agrees to
satisfy the amount of such withholding in a manner that the Administrator
prescribes.

Governing
Law; Severability

laws of the State of

if
there is no corresponding day in any such month, on the last day of such month),
until fully vested, unless vesting ceases as set forth in The Children’s

which the Shares were acquired.

Nature of Election

Because
the Property is shares of Common Stock of The Children’s Internet, Inc. acquired
by exercise of an incentive stock option (within the meaning of Section 422
of
the Code), the undersigned will not recognize income upon exercise of the
option. Therefore this election is protective only, is made solely to bar
application of Section 83(a) of the Code and is not made to cause the
undersigned actually to recognize income which apart from this election
qualifies for nonrecognition treatment under Sections 421 and 422 of the
Code.

The
Taxpayer intends that this election will be an effective election under Section
