LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This Current Report
includes statements regarding our plans, goals, strategies, intent, beliefs
or
current expectations. These statements are expressed in good faith and based
upon a reasonable basis when made, but there can be no assurance that these
expectations will be achieved or accomplished. These forward-looking statements
can be identified by the use of terms and phrases such as “believe,” “plan,”
“intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect,” and the like, and/or
future-tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,” “should,”
etc.). Items contemplating or making assumptions about actual or potential
future sales, market size, collaborations, and trends or operating results
also
constitute such forward-looking statements.
Although
forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good faith judgment of
management, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to known and
unknown risks, business, economic and other risks and uncertainties that may
cause actual results to be materially different from those discussed in these
forward-looking statements. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this
report. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in
order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of
this
report, other than as may be required by applicable law or regulation. Readers
are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by
us in
our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) which
attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect
our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. If
one
or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those
expected or projected.

THE
MERGER AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The
Merger
On
March
20, 2008, Hosting, the Acquisition Sub, and Single Touch entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”). Before
their entry into the Merger Agreement, no material relationship existed between
Hosting (or its subsidiaries) and Single Touch. A copy of the Merger Agreement
was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated March
20, 2008 which is incorporated herein by reference.
The
Merger Agreement provided for the merger contemplated thereby (the “Merger”) to
be consummated on or before June 1, 2008 unless extended in writing by mutual
agreement of us and Single Touch. On May 29, 2008 we entered into an Addendum
to
the Merger Agreement which provided for the Merger to be consummated on or
before June 30, 2008 unless extended in writing by mutual agreement of us and
Single Touch. On June 10, 2008 we entered into a Second Addendum to the Merger
Agreement which provided that there would be approximately 6,878,478 shares
of
our common stock issued and outstanding at the time of closing under the Merger
Agreement after taking into account a 2.3:1 reverse stock split, a 3:1 forward
stock split in the form of a dividend and the cancellation of shares of our
common stock owned by our then president, Scott Vicari, but not taking into
account the shares of our common stock issuable to the STI security holders
pursuant to the Merger Agreement or the shares of our common stock issuable
upon
conversion of the convertible promissory notes issued by us in an offering
described below under “The 2008 Note Offering”. On June 27, 2008 we entered into
a Third Addendum to the Merger Agreement which provided for the Merger to be
completed on or before July 31, 2008, unless further extended in writing by
mutual agreement of us and Single Touch. On July 22, 2008 we entered into a
Fourth Addendum to the Merger Agreement which provided for Anthony Macaluso,
the
principal shareholder of Single Touch, to deliver 1,445,912 shares in escrow
to
secure the indemnification obligations of the other Single Touch securities
holders under the Merger Agreement in lieu of having each Single Touch
securities holder deliver shares in escrow. On July 24, 2008 we entered into
a
Fifth Addendum under the Merger Agreement which increased the shares issuable
to
the Single Touch securities holders under the Merger Agreement from 87,994,950
shares to 90,994,987 shares. See “ProForma Ownership.”
Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, on July 24, 2008 (the “Closing Date”), the Acquisition
Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, merged with and into Single Touch,
with
Single Touch remaining as the surviving entity. We acquired the business of
Single Touch pursuant to the Merger and have continued the existing business
operations of Single Touch as a publicly-traded company under the name Single
Touch Systems Inc. As a result of the Merger, Single Touch is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Single Touch Systems Inc.
On
the
Closing Date and in connection with the Merger, the holders of Single Touch’s
issued and outstanding common stock before the Merger (the “Single Touch
Shareholders”) surrendered all of their issued and outstanding common stock of
Single Touch and received common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per
share (“Common Stock”). Also on the Closing Date, all of the issued and
outstanding warrants and convertible notes to purchase shares of Single Touch
common stock were exchanged for warrants (the “New Warrants”) and convertible
notes (the “New Notes”) to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The
number of shares of Common Stock issuable under, and the price per share upon
exercise or conversion of, the New Warrants and New Notes were calculated based
upon the terms of the original warrants and notes of Single Touch.
An
aggregate of 90,994,987 shares of Common Stock were issuable to Single Touch
Shareholders, and holders of outstanding Single Touch warrants and convertible
notes, on the Closing Date, of which 42,967,554 shares of Common Stock were
issued to Single Touch Shareholders, and an aggregate of 48,027,433 shares
of
Common Stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of New Warrants or
the
conversion of New Notes. The stockholders of Hosting before the Merger (the
“Hosting Stockholders”) retained 6,878,511 shares of Common Stock.
The
Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants
of
Hosting, Single Touch and Acquisition Sub, for like transactions. Breaches
of
representations and warranties are secured by customary indemnification
provisions. In order to secure the indemnification obligations of the Single
Touch Shareholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement, 1,445,912 shares of Common
Stock to which Anthony Macaluso, the principal shareholder of Single Touch
was
entitled in exchange for his shares of Single Touch in connection with the
Merger will be held in escrow for a period of one year pursuant to an Escrow
Agreement, a copy of which agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.8 to this Current
Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The
Merger will be treated as a recapitalization of the Company for financial
accounting purposes. The historical financial statements of Hosting before
the
Merger will be replaced with the historical financial statements of Single
Touch
before the Merger in all future filings with the SEC.
On
the
Closing Date, we increased the size of our board of directors from three to
four
persons. On such date, Scott Vicari and Ralph Brown resigned from our board
of
directors, Scott Vicari resigned as our Chairman, President, Treasurer, Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and James Cassina resigned as
our
Secretary. Anthony Macaluso, Richard Siber and Larry Dunn were appointed to
fill
the board vacancies created by the board resignations and the size increase.
Anthony Macaluso was appointed as our President, Chief Executive and Financial
Officer, Treasurer and Chairman and Tom Hovasse was appointed as our Secretary.
James Cassina continued to serve as a director. The officers and directors
of
the Company as of the Closing Date are identified on page 36 under “Directors
and Executive Officers.”
On
the
Closing Date, in accordance with the Merger Agreement and our April 30, 2001
Employment Agreement with Scott Vicari, as amended, Scott Vicari returned
3,913,044 shares of our common stock owned by him to us for cancellation (the
“Vicari Share Cancellations”). Upon cancellation these shares were returned to
the status of authorized but unissued.
The
parties have taken all actions necessary to ensure that the Merger is treated
as
a “tax free exchanges” under Section 351(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended.
2008
Stock Option Plan
On
April
22, 2008 our Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of our outstanding
shares adopted our 2008 Stock Option Plan (the “2008 Plan”) and terminated our
2002 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (the “2002 Plan”). No options were ever
issued under the 2002 Plan. A total of 8,800,000 shares of our common stock
are
reserved for issuance under the 2008 Plan. The 2008 Plan authorizes the grant
of
nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards
and
stock appreciation rights to eligible participants. For a more detailed
description of the 2008 Plan, see Item 6 - Executive Compensation - 2008 Stock
Option Plan.” A copy of the 2008 Plan is attached as Exhibit 10.10 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K herein and is incorporated herein by
reference.
Charter

On
May
12, 2008 we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation

per
share to 205,000,000 shares of capital stock consisting of 200,000,000

and
|
|
·
|
to

the close of business on May 14,
2008.
|
The
Certificate of Amendment is attached as Exhibit 3.3 to this Current Report
on
Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Forward
Stock Split
On
June
10, 2008 our board of directors declared a 3:1 forward stock split in the form
of a stock dividend (the “Forward Split”). The record date, payment date and
effective date for the forward split was June 24, 2008; June 25, 2008; and
June
26, 2008, respectively. Immediately prior to the forward split we had 3,597,185
shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Immediately after the forward
split we had 10,791,555 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding.
The
2008 Note Offering
During
the period March 24, 2008 through June 30, 2008, we engaged in a private
offering (the “Offering” or the “2008 Note Offering”) whereby we sold an
aggregate of $3,300,000 in convertible promissory notes (the “Company Notes”)
including the March 17, 2008 Replacement Note issued on April 15, 2008 discussed
below under “March 2008 Bridge Financing”. The gross proceeds from the Offering
were subsequently loaned to Single Touch Interactive, Inc., as described in
greater detail below. Each Company Note was convertible into Company units
(the
“Units”), at a purchase price of $1.25 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one
share of Common Stock, one Class A Warrant to purchase one share of Common
Stock
for a period of eighteen (18) months at an exercise price of $1.60 per share
and
one Class B Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock for a period of
thirty-six (36) months at an exercise price of $2.05 per share. The Company
Notes were due March 30, 2009 and interest was to begin to accrue at the rate
of
12% per annum thereon commencing 90 days following their respective issuance
dates. Effective June 15, 2008 holders of Company Notes dated March 17, 2008
and
March 31, 2008 agreed that interest on their Company Notes would not begin
to
accrue until July 31, 2008. Interest was payable quarterly with the first
interest payment date being October 1, 2008. The Offering was made only to
accredited investors as defined under Regulation D, Rule 501(a) promulgated
by
the SEC or to non-US Persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. In connection with the closing of the Merger, the
Company Notes were automatically converted into an aggregate of 2,640,000 Units.
The exercise prices for the Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants, as set forth
above, are subject to anti-dilution protection and take into account the prior
effectiveness of the Reverse Split and the Forward Split.
The
sale
of the Company Notes in the Offering was exempt from registration under Section
4(2) or Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”). In the Offering, no general solicitation was made by us or any person
acting on our behalf. The certificates for shares of Common Stock, Class A
Warrants and Class B Warrants issued upon conversion of the Company Notes sold
in the Offering contain appropriate legends stating that such securities are
not
registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent
registration or an exemption therefrom.
The
form
of the Company Notes issued in the Offering was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the
Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 31, 2008 and is incorporated
herein by reference.
The
Merger, the Offering and the other transactions related thereto are collectively
referred to herein as the “Transactions.”
March
2008 Bridge Financing
On
March
17, 2008 we sold a $200,000 45-day, non-interest bearing note to a single
subscriber in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. The note was due on May 1, 2008. On April 15, 2008 the subscriber
agreed to allow us to cancel the March 17, 2008 note and replace it with a
new
note dated March 17, 2008 (the “Replacement Note”) which was identical in all
respects to the Company Notes and thereafter treated as a Company Note. In
connection with the Closing of the Merger, the Replacement Note was converted
into Units. The $200,000 in subscription proceeds from the March 17, 2008 note
sale together with an additional $50,000 or an aggregate of $250,000 was loaned
to Single Touch Interactive, Inc. (“STI”) on March 17, 2008 and represented by
an STI secured promissory note dated March 17, 2008 and due April 16, 2008.
The
loan was secured by the assets of STI as reflected in a March 17, 2008 Security
Agreement between Hosting and STI. As discussed below under “STI Loans” on April
15, 2008 the March 17, 2008 STI Note was cancelled and replaced with an STI
Note
dated as of March 17, 2008 which was issued subject to the March 31, 2008 Bridge
Loan Agreement and Security Agreement between Hosting and STI and was identical
in all material respects to the notes issued to Hosting by STI on each of March
31, 2008, April 28, 2008, June 5, 2008, and July 14, 2008.
STI
Loans
On
March
31, 2008 we entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (the “Bridge Loan Agreement”)
with Single Touch Interactive, Inc. (“STI”), a Nevada corporation pursuant to
which we made a series of loans to STI (the “STI Loans”) in the aggregate amount
of $3,300,000 which includes the $250,000 loan we made to STI on March 17,
2008
which was made subject to the Bridge Loan Agreement on April 15, 2008. The
STI
Loans were secured by STI’s assets as set forth in the March 31, 2008 Security
Agreement between us and STI. As discussed below, upon making each STI Loan
we
received a secured bridge loan note from STI (the “STI Notes”) which provided
for the payment of interest at the rate of 12% per annum. Interest and principal
on the STI Notes, as amended, was due on July 31, 2008. However, upon the July
24, 2008 closing of the Merger by and among us, STI and Single Touch Acquisition
Corp., the STI Loans were forgiven, the STI Notes were cancelled and deemed
repaid in full and the Security Agreement, together with the security interest
created thereby, was terminated.
In
connection with the Bridge Loan Agreement we made loans to STI as
follows:
|
·
|
On
March 31, 2008 we loaned $1,650,000 to STI and received an STI Note
dated
March 31, 2008 in the principal amount of
$1,650,000;
|
|
·
|
On
April 15, 2008 we converted a March 17, 2008 note issued to us by
STI in
connection with a March 17, 2008 $250,000 bridge loan into an STI
Note
dated as of March 17, 2008;
|
|
·
|
On
April 28, 2008 we loaned $345,000 to STI and received an STI Note
dated
April 28, 2008 in the principal amount of $345,000;
|
|
·
|
On
June 5, 2008 we loaned $425,000 to STI and received an STI Note dated
June
5, 2008 in the principal amount of $425,000;
and
|
|
·
|
On
July 14, 2008 we loaned $630,000 to STI and received an STI Note
dated
July 14, 2008 in the principal amount of
$630,000.
|
Registration
Rights
In
connection with the Merger and the 2008 Note Offering, we have committed,
subject to Rule 415 registration restrictions, to use our reasonable best
efforts to file a Registration Statement covering the resale of the shares
issued or issuable to the STI securities holders pursuant to the Merger, the
resale of the shares issued or issuable upon the conversion of the Company
Notes
(including the shares issuable upon exercise of the Class A Warrants and Class
B
Warrants), and the restricted shares held by Hosting shareholders prior to
the
Merger, within 60 days from the Closing Date and to use our reasonable best
efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as
practicable thereafter. We have further agreed to use commercially reasonable
efforts to maintain the effectiveness of this Registration Statement through
the
second anniversary of the date the Registration Statement is declared effective
by the SEC or until Rule 144 of the Securities Act is available to the selling
stockholders thereunder with respect to all of their shares, whichever is
earlier.

DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
Company
Overview
Immediately
following the Merger, the business of Single Touch became the business of the
Company. Single Touch was incorporated in Nevada on April 2, 2002 and is engaged
in the business of wireless application development, publishing and
distribution. Single Touch Interactive is a provider of customized easy-to-use
wireless solutions. It’s patent pending technology simplifies adoption by
reaching new data subscribers and generating new revenue streams for carriers
and content owners. Single Touch's Abbreviated Dial Code (“ADC”) programs
make mobile easy for brands, consumers and carriers. The simplicity of dialing
a
‘#’ plus 3 to 6 digit branded telephone number has resulted in high response and
download conversion rates. A large percentage of ADC consumers are first time
data users, demonstrating how simple it is to deliver mobile data and campaigns
through these ADC programs while also opening up a new market outside of Short
Message Service (“SMS”). Reaching new consumers is a major initiative for
wireless carriers and ADC programs fill that need.

date, consumers are proving to be somewhat resistant to mobile advertising,
with
survey results indicating that location-based coupon services draw little
enthusiasm from consumers (only 14 percent of respondents expressed an interest
in the service - which was flat compared to a 2006 survey finding). AT&T
Wireless and Verizon Wireless continue to be the dominant wireless providers.
Both companies continued to add to their already large subscriber count
(AT&T Wireless and Verizon Wireless ended 2007 with 70.1 million and 65.7
million subscribers, respectively
2
).
For
many
consumers, cellular phones have already made the transition from a communication
device to a media-consumption device. With continuing technological
advancements, people are becoming more dependent on their cell phones and less
dependent on landlines.
Cellular
phones continue to play an increasingly important role in consumers’ lives. For
many, they have become more than just a communication tool. Mobile Internet
usage continues to rise and many customers report high levels of
satisfaction:

STI’s
Position in the Wireless Industry
The
wireless industry is growing rapidly with more than 47 million new subscribers
in the last two years and an 18% increase in total revenue over that period.
The
principal driver of this growth is revenue from data downloads which has
increased by approximately 63% over the last two years. STI is positioned to
take advantage of this traffic through its ADC platform. ADC’s have reached a
broad demographic and have consistently seen high conversion numbers. Some
companies that already have production SMS programs have contacted STI to expand
their delivery options by adding ADC codes.

Abbreviated
Dial Code - Abbreviated Dial Code (“ADC”) would be best understood as
dialing 411 for information. This is a good example of an ADC.
Single
Touch has developed a means for brands to utilize an ADC as
an easy to use and remember mobile telephone access point for a
brands’ customers to interact with a brands’ product or service offering.
The ADC programs are an easy to use and access distribution channel
that
supports and facilitates the download of content in many forms. For
example, the delivery of an application, a connection to a customer
service agent, and a connection to an IVR. In addition, ADC
programs can be used to initiate a wap,mms or sms session, to
digitally populate a form, to provide lead generation and can
also evoke a plurality of other features and products and service to
end user mobile devices. ADC programs can also support various
branding
and marketing campaigns as it is as easy as dialing a phone
number. STI was the first to deliver successful ADC programs commercially
on multiple carriers in the United States. ADC vanity numbers such
as #MTV
for Music Television and # BET for Black Entertainment Television,
make it easy to remember how to access a brand. Certain ADC’s can be
representative of a corporate name, such as #SEARS and # HERTZ.
Another
application of ADC’s indicates a particular available service or product.
For example, Walmart recently launched the ADC #MEALS to enable
customers
to receive “simple meal plans” and ideas and even receive recipes on their
mobile phones. Using a custom voice that everyone in your demographic
is
familiar with adds personality to a program. Black Entertainment
Television, for example, uses their top rated video jockey to be
the voice
of #BET. The STI ADC platform is designed to be flexible and our
participants have added a variety of programs which include the
following:
downloading content (#MTV, #BET), redirecting calls to a customer
service
representative (#SEARS), streaming audio from Fox News (#FOXN),
and even
listening to live concerts (#323). A recent review has indicated
that ,
STI ADC programs have had over 14 million calls with over 30% of
those
callers making a transaction. STI’s ADC program received the 2006 Mobile
Marketing Association Award for Innovation.

o
|
Marketing –
The advertising for each ADC is created and typically paid for by
STI’s
various participants.
|
|
o
|
Technology –
Single Touch owns and operates its ADC programs on Single Touch owned
equipment located in carrier grade facilities. Our systems are redundant
and carrier grade.

|
Mobile
Machine – Mobile Machine enables consumers to download content from
the Internet to a mobile device by a simple drag and drop interface.
The
user drags any type of content, image, ringtone, video, application,
etc,
to the Mobile Machine, types in his mobile number and presses send.
STI’s
backend technology then detects carrier, handset type and quickly
formats
the content. A link of the chosen content is then sent to the customer’s
phone for download to the device. The Mobile Machine technology is
currently available on Univision.com and
CoverGirl.com.
|
|
·
|
Mobile
Idol – Mobile Idol allows the customer to create his own ringtone.
The customer simply dials into one of our participating partners
ADC
numbers, selects Mobile Idol and is prompted to choose a song. Once
a song
is selected it will begin playing. The customer then sings over the
song
track through the phone and STI’s backend technology records the song. The
customer is then able to download the song to their own handset as
a
ringtone and also send it to the Mobile Idol website, www.mobileidol.net.
Once on the website, the customer can share their song with other
members
of the Mobile Idol community. The Mobile Idol website also incorporates
the Mobile Machine in an interactive way by allowing customers to
vote and
download any other person’s song on the website. The Mobile Idol
technology is available on #323.

Mobile
Coupon Platform – A significant revenue source for the wireless
industry is mobile coupons. According to EJL Wireless Research, mobile
coupon business is estimated to reach $1 billion by 2011. Current
mobile
coupon programs include coupons or bar codes sent to the mobile device.
Finding the coupons or bar codes can be a challenge and is time consuming.
STI’s coupon platform is designed to easily use an ADC platform and
web based technology combined with a fully integrated solution at
point of sale. In this regard, STI has partnered with Incomm, the
nation’s
largest provider of gift cards, prepaid wireless products, re-loadable
debit cards, digital music downloads, content, games, software and
bill
payment solutions. The STI solution is designed to use the
customer’s mobile phone number as his retail loyalty and
content card. For example, the customer either enters #SAVE or goes
to a participating online company such as Yahoo.com or a participating
retailer’s website to register his number and then begins selecting
coupons that can be added to his phone. At check-out, he simply enters
his
phone number in to the credit card terminal or tells the cashier
his phone
number and receives discounts. The process is quick and easy
for both the customer and the retailer. Companies such as Yahoo
Inc., Proctor & Gamble Co. and H-E-B will be participating in the
Coupon Program.

Carrier
Data and Billing Platform — Single Touch will provide data services
and billing platforms to Nextel Mexico, for both on and off-deck
content.
On-deck content involves a carriers own content offering. Off-deck
content
involves any third party selling content to a carrier’s consumers. STI
will also provide access to ADC programs, will become a billing
intermediary for all content sold, and become the conduit for data
delivery. Other projects include passing of SMS messages; age
verification; adding video/television on to the Nextel Mexico Network;
adding alternative content payment options; advertising; search
functionality; coupons; content rating/filtering; and keeping the
database
of record and registration tool for Common Short Codes and
ADC’s.

|
Audiocast –
STI’s audiocasting technology allows customers to listen to live, audio
events such as concerts and TV programs from around the world. The
customer simply dials into an STI event and listens to the show.
Fox News
is currently using this technology. By pressing #3696 (#FOXN) on
his
AT&T phone a customer can listen to either the live Fox News
Television feed or the Fox News radio feed. Previous concerts have
included the Rolling Stones European and North American Tours, Rihanna
and
Chris Brown.

Application
Development — STI develops and publishes “value-added” lifestyle
wireless data applications for wireless handsets. STI’s strategy is to
develop applications that create value and satisfaction to the end-user.
For the wireless carrier, these applications make a favorable impact
on
critical factors of “Average Revenue Per Unit” (or “ARPU”), penetration,
customer satisfaction, and user acquisition costs.

Material
Contract and Agreements
Our
business agreements consist primarily of Customer Agreements and Carrier
Agreements. Customer Agreements are typically agreements with companies which
have sales relationships with the end users of the transacted media content
or
service application. These agreements typically involve a split of the fees
received between the client and Single Touch or a fixed fee per transaction.
Carrier agreements are infrastructure in nature and establish the connection
to
the end user that enables Single Touch to deliver and collect payment for the
transacted media content or service application. Carrier agreements typically
involve a split of the fees received between the carrier and Single Touch.
We do
not consider any of our Carrier Agreements material as other carriers are
available in the event any of our Carrier Agreements are terminated or not
renewed.

Customer Agreements
On
June
19, 2006 we entered into an agreement (the “BMI Agreement”) with Boulevard Media
Inc., a U.S. subsidiary of Teligence (“BMI”) pursuant to which we provide
services and support to BMI through our Abbreviated Dialing Code (“ADC”)
programs and Interactive Voice Recognition (“IVR”) system. We launched three ADC
Codes, #Chat, #Talk and #Male, for BMI on August 1, 2006 and added 3 more codes,
#Fono, #Redhot and #Tango on February 20, 2007. These ADC programs enable
wireless chat services by providing commercial billing, services platforms
and
content delivery. BMI develops and delivers voice-enabled services for social
networking and entertainment in North America and provides the related
telecommunications network and custom software. Pursuant to the BMI Agreement,
we receive 40% of end user purchases plus $0.225 per transaction. Pricing for
BMI products may not be less than $2.95 or more than $19.95 per transaction.
The
BMI Agreement had an initial term of six months which renews automatically
for
additional six month terms. Either party may terminate the BMI Agreement at
the
end of a renewal period by providing notice to the other party at least two
months prior to the end of the renewal period. See “Customers.”
On
December 18, 2005 we entered into a three year agreement (the “Motricity
Agreement”) with Motricity, Inc. (“Motricity”), one of the largest U.S. mobile
content and applications firms, pursuant to which we provide services and
support to Motricity through our ADC programs and IVR system. Motricity operates
a managed services solution that enables customer and content providers to
deliver mobile content including ringtones, games, applications and graphics
downloads. Pursuant to the Motricity Agreement, we subtract carrier costs from
end user purchases and retain $0.175 per transaction.
By
way of
example, our ADC program and IVR system may be utilized by Motricity as
follows:
|

Motricity
had previously been developing sales through advertising the #BET and #MTV
programs. Since September 2007 Motricity has substantially reduced its
advertising support of the programs which has resulted in reduced sales. The
Motricity Agreement, which terminates on December 17, 2008, will not be renewed.
See “Customers”.
Customers
BMI
accounted for approximately 20% of our revenues for the year ended December
31,
2007 and 36% of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The loss of
BMI
as a customer would have a material adverse effect on our operating results
as
we do not believe we could directly replace the revenues lost thereby since
BMI
is a direct customer selling content to end users. In the event we were to
lose
BMI as a customer we would need to generate revenue from our sources to replace
the lost revenues.
Motricity,
Inc. accounted for approximately 56% of our revenues for the year ended December
31, 2007 and 35% of our revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Our
agreement with Motricity, Inc. expires December 17, 2008 and will not be
renewed. We do not expect the loss of such agreement to have a material adverse
effect on our operating results. Upon termination, we expect to establish direct
relations for our ADC programs with BET and MTV, the users of the contract
service. Along these lines, we are in the process of establishing other direct
ADC revenue sharing relationships through the promotion of ADC programs as
a
venue for our customers to promote the sale of their own content to mobile
users.
Research
and Development
During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 we spent $683,330
and $688,829, respectively, on research and development. We expect to spend
approximately $880,000 on research and development during the current fiscal
year. Our research and development activities relate primarily to general coding
of software and product development. These activities consist of both new
products and support or improvements to existing products. Certain of our
research and development resources are dedicated to improving our ADC programs
while others are dedicated to refining our new mobile couponing products.
We
believe that we may need to increase our current level of dedicated research
and
development resources by adding both hardware and engineers. We anticipate
that
additional capital may be required for our research and development efforts
in
the next 12 months to keep up with our anticipated growth, based on our current
commitments and planned product launches.
Markets
& Competition
Marketing
Strategy
Single
Touch provides products that are easy to use. Our core products include flexible
and scalable platforms for programs for both carriers and content providers.
Single Touch programs reach consumers in ways that are intended to simplify
things for the consumer. For example, while certain other companies sell
ringtones by sending special codes to another code via text messages, Single
Touch allows consumers to get ringtones by making a simple phone call to an
ADC.
We intend to continue our platform evolution by providing solutions in strategic
directions that provide core solutions for our partners and consumers and are
differentiated in the market place.
In
general we provide competitive pricing based on the value our products bring
to
the market while ensuring our costs are covered. We attempt to match our revenue
streams with our partners, making many of our programs revenue share based
with
nominal set-up fees.
Single
Touch has minimized the cost of advertising while still enjoying strong sales
pipelines. We employ several cost effective means of promoting our programs
such
as including our brand on existing programs such as “powered by Single Touch”.
We participate in several industry groups including the Mobile Marketing
Association (MMA). One of our most powerful channels is referrals from our
wireless carrier partners. Our existing partners also provide word-of-mouth
promotion and references for our programs.
Our
programs are distributed via our Company owned sales channels. Presently, we
are
also bringing on two reseller partners. Our internal force addresses any direct
inquiries from partner referrals, new opportunities with existing partners,
referrals from Websites and other opportunities we uncover. Our resellers have
thousands of sales representatives who will be adding our products and services
to their portfolio and bringing them to their existing customers.
Competition
Presently,
there are very few competitors in the Abbreviated Dial Code arena. Over the
last
6 years, STI has worked on creating the ADC space in the U.S. and with its
efforts has made it difficult for competitors to follow. Some natural barriers
include the tight carrier relationships that STI has cultivated. STI is one
of a
few wireless companies that has direct billing binds across the carriers.

Government
Regulation
Single
Touch provides value added and enabling platforms for carrier based distribution
of various software and media content. Applicable regulations are primarily
under the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) and related to the
operations policies and procedures of the wireless communications carriers.
The
wireless carriers are primarily responsible for regulatory compliance. Given
the
growing and dynamic evolution of digital wireless products that can be offered
to consumers over a wireless communication network, regulators could impose
rules, requirements and standards of conduct on third party content and
infrastructure providers like Single Touch. Management is not currently aware
of
any pending regulations that would materially impact our operations.
Employees
We
currently have 18 full time and no part-time employees including 2 executive
officers, 4 persons serving as programming and technical staff operators, 3
persons in sales and marketing, 3 persons in our research and development
department, 1 in-house accountant, 1 in-house legal counsel and 4 persons in
program and administrative management. We expect to increase our future employee
levels on an as needed basis in connection with our expected growth. None of
our
employees is represented by a labor union and we consider our employee relations
to be good.
Compliance
with Environmental Laws
Single
Touch does not use hazardous materials and does not produce any products or
operate any facilities that incorporate or utilize any hazardous or other
materials that would subject us to any specific environmental laws related
to
our business operations. Our operations consist exclusively of administrative
activities and software and content development activities.
Available
Information
We
are
subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as
amended (the “Exchange Act”). Reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the
Exchange Act, including annual and quarterly reports, and other reports we
file,
can be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by
the
SEC at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Investors may obtain
information on the operation of the public reference room by calling the SEC
at
1-800-SEC-0330. Investors can request copies of these documents upon payment
of
a duplicating fee by writing to the SEC. The reports we file with the SEC are
also available on the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov).
RISK
FACTORS
An
investment in shares of our Common Stock is highly speculative and involves
a
high degree of risk. Only those investors who can bear the risk of loss of
their
entire investment should participate. Prospective investors should carefully
consider the following risk factors in evaluating an investment in the
Company.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR COMPANY
We
have a history of operating losses which may
continue.
We
have a
history of losses and may continue to incur operating and net losses for the
foreseeable future. We incurred net losses of $10,992,807 and $8,569,178 for
the
years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. We incurred
a
net loss of $3,909,751 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. As of March 31,
2008, our accumulated deficit was $82,845,506. We have not achieved
profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. We may not be able to reach a
level of revenue to achieve profitability. Our gross revenues for the year
ended
December 31, 2007 and the quarter ended March 31, 2008 were $5,391,243 and
$942,146, respectively. If or revenues grow more slowly than anticipated or
if
operating expenses exceed expectations, then we may not be able to achieve
profitability in the near future or at all, which may depress our stock
price.
We
operate in the evolving wireless market, which may make it difficult to evaluate
our business.
The
future revenue potential of our business in the emerging wireless market is
uncertain. Any evaluation of our business and our prospects must be considered
in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies in such market.
As a company operating in the evolving mobile industry, we face substantial
risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties. To address these risks and
uncertainties, we must do the following:
|
·
|
maintain
our current, and develop new, wireless carrier relationships, in
both the
international and domestic markets;
|
|
·
|
maintain
and expand our current, and develop new, relationships with third-party
branded and non-branded content owners;
|
|
·
|
retain
or improve our current revenue-sharing arrangements with carriers
and
third-party content owners;
|
|
·
|
continue
to develop new high-quality products and services that achieve significant
market acceptance;
|
|
·
|
continue
to develop and upgrade our technology;
|
|
·
|
continue
to enhance our information processing systems;
|
|
·
|
execute
our business and marketing strategies successfully;
|
|
·
|
respond
to competitive developments; and
|
|
·
|
attract,
integrate, retain and motivate qualified personnel.
|
We
may be
unable to accomplish one or more of these objectives, which could cause our
business to suffer. In addition, accomplishing many of these efforts might
be
very expensive, which could adversely impact our operating results and financial
condition.
We
currently rely on wireless carriers to market and distribute our products and
services and to generate our revenues. The loss of or a change in any of these
significant carrier relationships could cause us to lose access to their
subscribers and thus materially reduce our revenues.
Our
future success is highly dependent upon maintaining successful relationships
with wireless carriers. A significant portion of our revenue is derived from
a
very limited number of carriers. We expect that we will continue to generate
a
substantial majority of our revenues through distribution relationships with
a
limited number of carriers for the foreseeable future. Our failure to maintain
our relationships with these carriers would materially reduce our revenues
and
thus harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
Typically,
carrier agreements have a term of one or two years with automatic renewal
provisions upon expiration of the initial term, absent a contrary notice from
either party. In addition, some carrier agreements provide that the carrier
can
terminate the agreement early and, in some instances, at any time without cause,
which could give them the ability to renegotiate economic or other terms. The
agreements generally do not obligate the carriers to market or distribute any
of
our products or services. In many of these agreements, we warrant that our
products do not violate community standards, do not contain libelous content,
do
not contain material defects or viruses, and do not violate third-party
intellectual property rights and we indemnify the carrier for any breach of
a
third party’s intellectual property.
Many
other factors outside our control could impair our ability to generate revenues
through a given carrier, including the following:
|
·
|
the
carrier’s preference for our competitors’ products and services rather
than ours;
|
|
·
|
the
carrier’s decision to discontinue the sale of some or all of our products
and services;
|
|
·
|
the
carrier’s decision to offer similar products and services to its
subscribers without charge or at reduced prices;
|
|
·
|
the
carrier’s decision to restrict or alter subscription or other terms for
downloading our products and services;
|
|
·
|
a
failure of the carrier’s merchandising, provisioning or billing systems;
|
|
·
|
the
carrier’s decision to offer its own competing products and services;
|
|
·
|
the
carrier’s decision to transition to different platforms and revenue
models; and
|
|
·
|
consolidation
among carriers.
|
If
any of
our carriers decides not to market or distribute our products and services
or
decides to terminate, not renew or modify the terms of its agreement with us
or
if there is consolidation among carriers generally, we may be unable to replace
the affected agreement with acceptable alternatives, causing us to lose access
to that carrier’s subscribers and the revenues they afford us, which could
materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
We
may be unable to develop and introduce in a timely way new products or services.
The
planned timing and introduction of new products and services are subject to
risks and uncertainties. Unexpected technical, operational, deployment,
distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of new
products and services, which could result in a loss of, or delay in, revenues.
We
will need to raise additional capital to meet our business requirements in
the
future and such capital raising may be costly or difficult to obtain and could
dilute current stockholders’ ownership interests.
We
will
need to raise additional capital in the future, which may not be available
on
reasonable terms or at all. The raising of additional capital may dilute our
current stockholders’ ownership interests. Our present income from operations is
insufficient to achieve our business plan. We will need to raise additional
funds through public or private debt or equity financings to meet various
objectives including, but not limited to:
|
·
|
pursuing
growth opportunities, including more rapid expansion;
|
|
·
|
acquiring
complementary businesses;
|
|
·
|
making
capital improvements to improve our infrastructure;
|
|
·
|
hiring
qualified management and key employees;
|
|
·
|
developing
new services, programming or products;
|
|
·
|
responding
to competitive pressures;
|
|
·
|
complying
with regulatory requirements such as licensing and registration;
and
|
|
·
|
maintaining
compliance with applicable laws.
|
Any
additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity backed securities
may dilute current stockholders’ ownership percentages and could also result in
a decrease in the fair market value of our equity securities because our assets
would be owned by a larger pool of outstanding equity. The terms of those
securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be more favorable
to
new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the
issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further
dilutive effect.
Furthermore,
any additional debt or equity financing that we may need may not be available
on
terms favorable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain required additional
capital, we may have to curtail our growth plans or cut back on existing
business and, further, we may not be able to continue operating if we do not
generate sufficient revenues from operations needed to stay in business.
We
may
incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including
investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance
fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be
required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities
we
issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our
financial condition.
We
may not be able to effectively manage our growth.
Our
strategy envisions growing our business. If we fail to effectively manage our
growth, our financial results could be adversely affected. Growth may place
a
strain on our management systems and resources. We must continue to refine
and
expand our business development capabilities, our systems and processes and
our
access to financing sources. As we grow, we must continue to hire, train,
supervise and manage new employees. We cannot assure you that we will be able
to:
|
·
|
meet
our capital needs;
|
|
·
|
expand
our systems effectively or efficiently or in a timely manner;
|
|
·
|
allocate
our human resources optimally; or
|
|
·
|
identify
and hire qualified employees or retain valued employees.
|
If
we are
unable to manage our growth and our operations our financial results could
be
adversely affected.
Losing
key personnel could affect our ability to successfully grow our
business.
Our
future performance depends substantially on the continued service of our senior
management and other key personnel. In particular, our success depends upon
the
continued efforts of our management personnel, including our President and
Chief
Executive Officer, Anthony Macaluso, and other members of the senior management
team. If our senior management were to resign or no longer be able to serve
as
our employees, it could impair our revenue growth, business and future
prospects.
Applicable
rules, including those contained in and issued under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of
2002, may make it difficult for us to retain or attract qualified officers
and
directors, which could adversely affect the management of our business and
our
ability to retain listing of our Common Stock.
We
may be
unable to attract and retain those qualified officers, directors and members
of
board committees required to provide for our effective management because of
the
rules and regulations that govern publicly held companies, including, but not
limited to, certifications by principal executive officers. The enactment of
the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act has resulted in the issuance of a series of rules and
regulations and the strengthening of existing rules and regulations by the
SEC,
as well as the adoption of new and more stringent rules by the stock exchanges
and NASDAQ. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent
changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting roles as directors and
executive officers.
Further,
some of these recent changes heighten the requirements for board or committee
membership, particularly with respect to an individual’s independence from the
corporation and level of experience in finance and accounting matters. We may
have difficulty attracting and retaining directors with the requisite
qualifications. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified officers and
directors, the management of our business and our ability to obtain or retain
listing of our shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange or NASDAQ (assuming
we elect to seek and are successful in obtaining such listing) could be
adversely affected.
If
we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be
able
to accurately report our financial results or detect fraud. Consequently,
investors could lose confidence in our financial reporting and this may decrease
the trading price of our stock.
We
must
maintain effective internal controls to provide reliable financial reports
and
detect fraud. We will be assessing our internal controls to identify areas
that
need improvement. Failure to implement any required changes to our internal
controls or any others that we identify as necessary to maintain an effective
system of internal controls could harm our operating results and cause investors
to lose confidence in our reported financial information. Any such loss of
confidence would have a negative effect on the trading price of our
stock.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY
If
wireless subscribers do not continue to use their mobile handsets to access
mobile content and other applications, our business growth and future revenues
may be adversely affected.
We
operate in a developing industry. Our success depends on growth in the number
of
wireless subscribers who use their handsets to access data services and, in
particular, applications of the type we develop and distribute. New or different
mobile applications developed by our current or future competitors may be
preferred by subscribers to our offerings. In addition, other mobile platforms
may become widespread, and end users may choose to switch to these platforms.
If
the market for our products and services does not continue to grow or we are
unable to acquire new end users, our business growth and future revenues could
be adversely affected. If end users switch their spending away from the kinds
of
offerings that we publish, or switch to platforms or distribution where we
do
not have comparative strengths, our revenues would likely decline and our
business, operating results and financial condition would suffer.
System
or network failures could reduce our sales, increase costs or result in a loss
of end users of our products and services.
Mobile
content delivery relies on wireless carrier networks to deliver products and
services to end users. In certain circumstances, mobile content distributors
may
also rely on their own servers to deliver products on demand to end users
through their carriers’ networks. In addition, certain products require access
over the mobile internet to our servers in order to enable certain features.
Any
failure of, or technical problem with, carriers’, third parties’ or billing
systems, delivery or information systems, or communications networks could
result in the inability of end users to download our products, prevent the
completion of a billing transaction, or interfere with access to some aspects
of
our products. If any of these systems fails or if there is an interruption
in
the supply of power, an earthquake, fire, flood or other natural disaster,
or an
act of war or terrorism, end users might be unable to access our offerings.
For
example, from time to time, our carriers have experienced failures with their
billing and delivery systems and communication networks, including gateway
failures that reduced the provisioning capacity of their branded e-commerce
system. Any failure of, or technical problem with, the carriers’, other third
parties’ or our systems could cause us to lose end users or revenues or incur
substantial repair costs and distract management from operating our business.
This, in turn, could harm our business, operating results and financial
condition.
Our
business depends on the growth and maintenance of wireless communications
infrastructure.
Our
success will depend on the continued growth and maintenance of wireless
communications infrastructure in the United States and internationally. This
includes deployment and maintenance of reliable next-generation digital networks
with the speed, data capacity and security necessary to provide reliable
wireless communications services. Wireless communications infrastructure may
be
unable to support the demands placed on it if the number of subscribers
continues to increase, or if existing or future subscribers increase their
bandwidth requirements. Wireless communications have experienced a variety
of
outages and other delays as a result of infrastructure and equipment failures,
and could face outages and delays in the future. These outages and delays could
reduce the level of wireless communications usage as well as our ability to
distribute our products and services successfully. In addition, changes by
a
wireless carrier to network infrastructure may interfere with downloads and
may
cause end users to lose functionality. This could harm our business, operating
results and financial condition.
Actual
or perceived security vulnerabilities in mobile handsets or wireless networks
could adversely affect our revenues.
Maintaining
the security of mobile handsets and wireless networks is critical for our
business. There are individuals and groups who develop and deploy viruses,
worms
and other illicit code or malicious software programs that may attack wireless
networks and handsets. Security experts have identified computer “worm” programs
that target handsets running on certain operating systems. Although these worms
have not been widely released and do not present an immediate risk to our
business, we believe future threats could lead some end users to seek to reduce
or delay future purchases of our products or reduce or delay the use of their
handsets. Wireless carriers and handset manufacturers may also increase their
expenditures on protecting their wireless networks and mobile phone products
from attack, which could delay adoption of new handset models. Any of these
activities could adversely affect our revenues and this could harm our business,
operating results and financial condition.
Changes
in government regulation of the media and wireless communications industries
may
adversely affect our business.
It
is
possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted in the United
States and elsewhere that could restrict the media and wireless communications
industries, including laws and regulations regarding customer privacy, taxation,
content suitability, copyright, distribution and antitrust. Furthermore, the
growth and development of the market for electronic commerce may prompt calls
for more stringent consumer protection laws that may impose additional burdens
on companies such as ours conducting business through wireless carriers. We
anticipate that regulation of our industry will increase and that we will be
required to devote legal and other resources to address this regulation. Changes
in current laws or regulations or the imposition of new laws and regulations
in
the United States or elsewhere regarding the media and wireless communications
industries may lessen the growth of wireless communications services and may
materially reduce our ability to increase or maintain sales of our products
and
services.
Our
inability to adequately protect our proprietary technology could adversely
affect our business.
Our
proprietary technology is one of the keys to our performance and ability to
remain competitive. We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright
and
trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We also
use
technical measures, confidentiality agreements and non-compete agreements to
protect our proprietary rights.
We
rely
on copyright laws to protect our proprietary software and trade secret laws
to
protect the source code for our proprietary software. We generally enter into
agreements with our employees and consultants and limit access to and
distribution of our software, documentation and other proprietary information.
The steps we take to protect our proprietary information may not prevent
misappropriation of our technology, and the agreements we enter into for that
purpose might not be enforceable. A third party might obtain and use our
software or other proprietary information without authorization or develop
similar software independently. It is difficult for us to police the
unauthorized use of our technology, particularly because the global nature
of
the Internet makes it difficult to control the ultimate destination or security
of software or other transmitted data. The laws of other countries may not
provide us with adequate or effective protection of our intellectual
property.
We
may experience unexpected expenses or delays in service enhancements if we
are
unable to license third-party technology on commercially reasonable terms.
We
rely
on technology that we license from third parties. These third-party technology
licenses might not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable
terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain or maintain these licenses on
favorable terms, or at all, we could experience delays in completing and
developing our products and services.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
You
may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our Common Stock.
Our
Common Stock is currently quoted on the NASD’s OTC Bulletin Board under the
symbol “SITO.OB” and is not actively traded. As a result, a stockholder may find
it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of,
the Common Stock. This severely limits the liquidity of the Common Stock, and
would likely have a material adverse effect on the market price of the Common
Stock and on our ability to raise additional capital.
Applicable
SEC rules governing the trading of “penny stocks” limits the trading and
liquidity of the Common Stock which may affect the trading price of the Common
Stock.
Our
Common Stock is currently quoted on the NASD’s OTC Bulletin Board, and trades
below $5.00 per share; therefore, the Common Stock is considered a “penny stock”
and subject to SEC rules and regulations which impose limitations upon the
manner in which such shares may be publicly traded. These regulations require
the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure
schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks. Under
these
regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other
than
established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special
written suitability determination regarding such a purchaser and receive such
purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. These regulations
have the effect of limiting the trading activity of the Common Stock and
reducing the liquidity of an investment in our Common Stock.
The
price of our Common Stock may become volatile, which could lead to losses by
investors and costly securities litigation.
The
trading price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and could
fluctuate in response to factors such as:
|
·
|
actual
or anticipated variations in our operating results;
|
|
·
|
announcements
of technological innovations by us or our competitors;
|
|
·
|
announcements
by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic
partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
|
|
·
|
adoption
of new accounting standards affecting our industry;
|
|
·
|
additions
or departures of key personnel;
|
|
·
|
introduction
of new services by us or our competitors;
|
|
·
|
sales
of our Common Stock or other securities in the open market;
and
|
|
·
|
other
events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.
|
The
stock
market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, and the market
prices of stock in technology companies have been highly volatile. In the past,
following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities,
securities class action litigation has often been initiated against the company.
Litigation initiated against us, whether or not successful, could result in
substantial costs and diversion of our management’s attention and resources,
which could harm our business and financial condition.
We
do not anticipate dividends to be paid on our Common Stock, and stockholders
may
lose the entire amount of their investment.
A
dividend has never been declared or paid in cash on our Common Stock, and we
do
not anticipate such a declaration or payment for the foreseeable future. We
expect to use future earnings, if any, to fund business growth. Therefore,
stockholders will not receive any funds absent a sale of their shares. We cannot
assure stockholders of a positive return on their investment when they sell
their shares, nor can we assure that stockholders will not lose the entire
amount of their investment.
Securities
analysts may not initiate coverage or continue to cover our Common Stock and
this may have a negative impact on its market price.
The
trading market for our Common Stock will depend on the research and reports
that
securities analysts publish about us and our business. We do not have any
control over these analysts. There is no guarantee that securities analysts
will
cover our Common Stock. If securities analysts do not cover our Common Stock,
the lack of research coverage may adversely affect its market price. If we
are
covered by securities analysts, and our stock is downgraded, our stock price
would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases to cover us or
fails to publish regular reports on us, we could lose visibility in the
financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to
decline.
You
may experience dilution of your ownership interests because of the future
issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock and our preferred stock.
In
the
future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities,
resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present
stockholders. We are currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 205,000,000
shares of capital stock consisting of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock and
5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with preferences and rights to be determined
by our Board of Directors. As of the closing of the Merger, there were
52,486,065 shares of Common Stock outstanding and 53,307,433 shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of outstanding warrants and
convertible notes. We may also issue additional shares of our Common Stock
or
other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock
in
connection with hiring or retaining employees, future acquisitions, future
sales
of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes.
The future issuance of any such additional shares of our Common Stock may create
downward pressure on the trading price of our Common Stock. There can be no
assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants
or
other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with any capital
raising efforts, including at a price (or exercise prices) below the price
at
which shares of our Common Stock are currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Our
Common Stock is controlled by insiders.
Officers,
directors and three other shareholders of the Company beneficially own
approximately 85% of our outstanding Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis.
Such concentrated control of the Company may adversely affect the price of
our
Common Stock. Our principal security holders may be able to control matters
requiring approval by our security holders, including the election of directors.
Such concentrated control may also make it difficult for our stockholders to
receive a premium for their shares of our Common Stock in the event we merge
with a third party or enter into different transactions which require
stockholder approval. Accordingly, these controlling shareholders may have
the
power to control the election of all of our directors and the approval of
actions for which the approval of our stockholders is required. If you acquire
Common Stock, you may have no effective voice in the management of the
Company.
Even
though we are not a California corporation, our common stock could still be
subject to a number of key provisions of the California General Corporation
Law.
Under
Section 2115 of the California General Corporation Law (the “CGCL”),
corporations not organized under California law may still be subject to a number
of key provisions of the CGCL. This determination is based on whether the
corporation has significant business contacts with California and if more than
50% of its voting securities are held of record by persons having addresses
in
California. In the immediate future, we will continue the business and
operations of Single Touch and a majority of the business operations, revenue
and payroll will be conducted in, derived from, and paid to residents of
California. Therefore, depending on the Company’s ownership, we could be subject
to certain provisions of the CGCL. Among the more important provisions are
those
relating to the election and removal of directors, cumulative voting, standards
of liability and indemnification of directors, distributions, dividends and
repurchases of shares, shareholder meetings, approval of certain corporate
transactions, dissenters' and appraisal rights, and inspection of corporate
records.
2.
MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The
following Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction
with Single Touch's financial statements and the related notes thereto. The
Management's Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives,
expectations and intentions. Any statements that are not statements of
historical fact are forward-looking statements. When used, the words “believe,”
“plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect,” and the like,
and/or future-tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,”
“should,” etc.), or similar expressions, identify certain of these
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements
in
this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company’s actual results and the timing of
events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of several factors. The Company does not undertake any
obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances occurring after the date of this Current Report on Form
8-K.
As
the
result of the Merger and the change in the business and operations, a discussion
of the past financial results of Hosting is not pertinent and the financial
results of Single Touch, the accounting acquirer, are considered the financial
results of the Company on a going-forward basis.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared
in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of
America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses. In consultation with our Board of Directors, we have
identified the following accounting policies that it believes are key to an
understanding of its financial statements. These are important accounting
policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective
judgments.
The
first
critical accounting policy relates to revenue recognition. Income from our
research is recognized at the time services are rendered and
billed.
The
second critical accounting policy relates to research and development expense.
Costs incurred in the development of our products are expensed as
incurred.
The
third
critical accounting policy relates to the valuation of non-monetary
consideration issued for services rendered. We value all services rendered
in
exchange for our common stock at the quoted price of the shares issued at date
of issuance or at the fair value of the services rendered, whichever is more
readily determinable. All other services provided in exchange for other
non-monetary consideration is valued at either the fair value of the services
received or the fair value of the consideration relinquished, whichever is
more
readily determinable.
Our
accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors
in
exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of EITF 96-18,
“Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for
Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services ” and EITF 00-18,
Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments
Granted to Other Than Employees.” The measurement date for the fair value of the
equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which
a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii)
the
date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of
equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity
instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In
accordance to EITF 00-18, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of
fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or
classified as an offset to equity on the grantor’s balance sheet once the equity
instrument is granted for accounting purposes. Accordingly, we record the fair
value of nonforfeitable common stock issued for future consulting services
as
prepaid services in our consolidated balance sheet.
The
fourth critical accounting policy is our accounting for conventional convertible
debt. When the convertible feature of the conventional convertible debt provides
for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is
characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (BCF”). We record a BCF as a
debt discount pursuant to EITF Issue No. 98-5 (EITF 98-05”), Accounting for
Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency
Adjustable Conversion Ratio,” and EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of EITF
Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instrument(s) .” In those circumstances,
the convertible debt will be recorded net of the discount related to the BCF.
We
amortize the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the
effective interest method.
Our
fifth
critical accounting policy relates to our accounting of software development
costs. We account for our software development costs in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 86, “Accounting for the Cost of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Under SFAS No. 86,
we expense software development costs as incurred until we determine that the
software is technologically feasible. Once we determine that the software is
technologically feasible, We amortize the costs capitalized over its expected
useful life of the software, which is generally two years.
Plan
of Operation
Our
focus
of operations for the next 12-month period will be to develop our business
segments focusing on growing operations in each product category including
ringtones, mobile applications and mobile couponing to generate revenues. We
intend to use profits from operations to maintain and grow each product
category. We will continue our efforts to raise additional capital to maintain
existing and generate expanded operations.
Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Comparison
of the Years Ended December 31, 2007 and December 31,
2006
During
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 we had revenues of $5,391,243 and
experienced a net operating loss of $9,296,105. General and administrative
expenses of $9,702,983 and royalty/application costs totaling $ 4,301,035 were
the most significant components of the net operating loss.
During
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 we had revenues of $2,821,407 and
experienced a net operating loss of $8,022,746. General and administrative
expenses of $8,410,218 and royalty/application costs totaling $ 1,745,111 were
the most significant components of the net operating loss.
Although
revenue increased significantly, the difference in net operating loss for the
fiscal years ending December 31, 2007 and 2006 remained consistent with an
increase in stock based compensation for the comparative periods.
Expenses
For
the
twelve months ended December 31, 2007, our General and administrative expenses
were the largest component of our expenses and included $5,234,400 in stock
based compensation, and were consistent compared to the twelve months ended
December 31, 2006 where general and administrative expenses decreases were
primarily contributed to as a result of a reduction in stock-based compensation.
In 2006, expenses for royalties/application were 62% of revenue and in 2007,
expenses for royalties/application were 80% of revenue.
Revenues
Revenues
for the year ending December 31, 2007 increased by more than 90% to $5,391,243
but were offset by increased royalty/application costs. Software development
costs remained constant despite the increased revenue levels.
Net
Loss
We
incurred a net loss of $10,992,807 for the year ended December 31, 2007,
compared to a net loss of $8,569,178 for the year ended December 31, 2006.
At
December 31, 2007, we had total assets of $1,305,903 and total liabilities
of $9,612,082; comparably, at December 31, 2006, we had total assets of
$3,779,232 and total liabilities of $7,424,196.
Comparison
of the Quarters Ended March 31, 2008 and March 31,
2007
During
the three month period ending March 31, 2008 we had revenues of $942,146 and
experienced a net operating loss of $2,297,957. General and administrative
expenses of $2,215,478 and royalty/application costs totaling $ 756,010 were
the
most significant components of the loss from operations.
During
the three month period ending March 31, 2007 we had revenues of $1,439,826
and
experienced a net operating loss of $805,928. General and administrative
expenses of $951,343 and royalty/application costs totaling $ 1,133,615 were
the
most significant components of the loss from operations.
Although
revenue decreased significantly the difference in net operating loss for the
three month period ending March 31, 2008 and 2007 remained consistent with
an
increase in stock based compensation for the comparative period.
Expenses
For
the
three months ended March 31, 2008, our General and administrative expenses
were
the largest component of our expenses and included $1,925,000 in stock based
compensation, and were consistent compared to the three months ended March
31,
2007 where general and administrative expenses decreases were primarily as
a
result of a reduction in stock-based compensation. During the three month period
ended March 31, 2007, expenses for royalties/application were 79% of revenue
and
in the same period of 2008, expenses for royalties/application were consistent
at 80% of revenue.
Revenue
Revenues
for the three month period ending March 31, 2008 decreased by more than 34%
to
$942,146. Royalty/application costs remained at a consistent ratio. Software
development costs increased substantially despite the decrease in revenue
levels. The revenue decrease in the three month period ended March 31, 2008
from
the 2007 comparable period of approximately 28% was largely a result
of declines in the #BET program resulting from decreased advertising by
Motricity who had previously been driving sales through that program. This
is
expected to be resolved due to the termination of the Motricity agreement by
its
terms and Single Touch establishing direct relationships with the #BET client.
Similar direct ADC revenue sharing agreements are being established and motivate
our client companies to promote the ADC programs as a venue to promote the
sale
of their own content to mobile users.
Revenue
increase from 2006 FY to 2007 FY of nearly 90% was primarily due to ADC programs
like #BET developing.
Net
Loss
We
incurred a net loss of $3,384,751 for the three month period ended March 31,
2008, compared to a net loss of $1,236,651 for the three month period ended
March 31, 2007. At March 31, 2008, we had total assets of $2,654,186 and
total liabilities of $7,240,224.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
During
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 we received $2,864,235 in net cash
provided by financing activities primarily from proceeds from borrowings from
our Founder/CEO, Anthony Macaluso. Net cash used in operating activities totaled
$2,904,845. Cash used in investing activities was 696,627. The resultant overall
net decrease in cash for the period was 737,237; where the beginning balance
for
the period was $785,401, the cash balance at the end of the period was $48,164.
During
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 we received $1,721,524 in net cash
provided by financing activities primarily from proceeds from sale of common
stock. Net cash used in operating activities totaled $1,524,038. Cash used
in
investing activities was $687,456. The resultant overall net decrease in cash
for the period was $489,971 where the beginning balance for the period was
$1,275,372, the resultant cash balance at the end of the period was $785,401.
During
the three month period ending March 31, 2008 we received $2,395,000 in net
cash
provided by financing activities comprising of proceeds from borrowings from
our
Founder/CEO, Anthony Macaluso and additional borrowings from unrelated parties
of $1,900,000. Net cash used in operating activities totaled $764,248. Cash
used
in investing activities was 205,739. The resultant overall net increase in
cash
for the period was $1,425,013; where the beginning balance for the period was
$48,164, the cash balance at the end of the period was $1,473,177.
During
the three month period ending March 31, 2007 we received $35,000 in net cash
provided by financing activities from borrowings from our Founder/CEO, Anthony
Macaluso. Net cash used in operating activities totaled $416,507. Cash used
in
investing activities was $177,567. The resultant overall net decrease in cash
for the period was $559,074; where the beginning balance for the period was
$785,401, the resultant cash balance at the end of the period was $226,327.
The
majority of our operations have been funded to date through loans from our
Founder/CEO Anthony Macaluso and from the issuance of our shares of common
stock. We have not generated sufficient revenue to pay for our operations.
We
expect to experience cash flow difficulties for an indefinite period. Although
no assurances can be given, we believe that our cash flow deficit will improve
as revenues and sales increase. In addition, although no assurances can be
given, we believe that we may be able to secure additional equity and/or debt
financing.
A
critical component of our operating plan impacting our continued existence
is
the ability to obtain additional capital through additional equity and/or debt
financing. We do not anticipate enough positive internal operating cash flow
until such time as we can generate substantial additional revenues and/or
improve profit margins on those overall revenues, which may take the next few
years to fully realize. In the event we cannot obtain the necessary capital
to
pursue our strategic plan, we may have to significantly curtail our operations.
This would materially impact our ability to continue operations.
Our
near
term cash requirements are anticipated to be offset through the receipt of
funds
from private placement offerings and loans obtained through private sources.
Since inception, we have financed cash flow requirements through debt financing
and issuance of common stock for cash and services. As we expand operational
activities, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from
operations and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund
operations through common stock offerings and bank borrowings to the extent
necessary to provide working capital.
Over
the
next twelve months we believe that existing capital and anticipated funds from
operations will not be sufficient to sustain operations and planned expansion.
Consequently, we will be required to seek additional capital in the future
to
fund growth and expansion through additional equity or debt financing or credit
facilities. No assurance can be made that such financing would be available,
and
if available it may take either the form of debt or equity. In either case,
the
financing could have a negative impact on our financial condition and our
Stockholders.
We
anticipate incurring operating losses over the next twelve months. Our operating
history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain.
Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and
difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of
development. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving and
unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these
risks we must, among other things, obtain a customer base, implement and
successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop
and upgrade technology and products, respond to competitive developments, and
attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance
that
we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can
have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition
and results of operations.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities
in
the normal course of business. Based upon current operating levels, we may
require additional capital or significant reconfiguration of our operations
to
sustain our operations for the foreseeable future.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should
we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern
is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our
obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability. We have
limited capital with which to pursue our business plan. There can be no
assurance that our future operations will be significant and profitable, or
that
we will have sufficient resources to meet our objectives. We are partially
dependent upon our officers and other insiders to provide working capital.
However, there can be no assurance that these loans and capital advances will
continue in the future. We intend to generate sufficient revenues from our
line
of wireless products and services to fund our business plan. There can be no
assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funds.
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We
do not
use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and has no
foreign exchange contracts. Our financial instruments consist of cash, trade
accounts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term obligations. Our exposure
to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our debt.
Accordingly, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material impact
on
the fair value of these securities.
At
March
31, 2008, we had $1,473,177 in cash. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease
in
interest rates would not have a material impact on our earnings or losses,
or
the fair market value or cash flow from cash.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
For
the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007
and December 31, 2006, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as
defined in Item 303(c) of Regulation S-B, promulgated by the SEC.

Board
of Directors and Corporate Governance
Our
Board
of Directors consists of four members. As of the Closing Date, Anthony Macaluso,
Richard Siber, Larry Dunn, and James Cassina serve on our Board of Directors.
Our directors hold office until the earlier of their death, resignation or
removal or until their successors have been qualified. None of our directors
receive any remuneration for acting as such. Directors may however be reimbursed
their expenses, if any, for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors.
Our Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive
committee and one or more other committees. No such committees have been
appointed to date. Accordingly, we do not have an audit committee or an audit
committee financial expert. We are presently not required to have an audit
committee financial expert but intend to retain one in conjunction with the
growth of our business. Similarly we do not have a nominating committee or
a
committee performing similar functions. Presently, our entire board serves
the
functions of an audit committee and a nominating committee. We have not
implemented procedures by which our security holders may recommend board
nominees to us but expect to do so in the future.
Board
Committees
Our
Board
intends to appoint such persons and form such committees as are required to
meet
the corporate governance requirements imposed by Sarbanes-Oxley and any national
securities exchanges on which our shares are quoted and traded. Therefore,
we
intend that a majority of our directors will eventually be independent directors
and at least one director will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert”
within the meaning of Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B, as promulgated by the
SEC.
Additionally, the Board is expected to appoint an audit committee, nominating
committee and compensation committee, and to adopt charters relative to each
such committee. Until further determination by the Board, the full Board will
undertake the duties of the audit committee, compensation committee and
nominating committee. We do not currently have an “audit committee financial
expert” since we currently do not have an audit committee in place.
Code
of Ethics
On
December 1, 2004 we adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our principal
executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer
or
controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of our Code of
Ethics will be provided to any person requesting same without charge. To request
a copy of our Code of Ethics please make written request to our President c/o
Single Touch Systems Inc. at 2235 Encinitas Blvd., Suite 210, Encinitas, CA
92024.

Except
as
set forth in this Report, we have not issued any stock options or maintained
any
stock option or other incentive plans since our inception. We have no plans
in
place and have never maintained any plans that provide for the payment of
retirement benefits or benefits that will be paid primarily following retirement
including, but not limited to, tax qualified deferred benefit plans,
supplemental executive retirement plans, tax-qualified deferred contribution
plans and nonqualified deferred contribution plans. Similarly, we have no
contracts, agreements, plans or arrangements, whether written or unwritten,
that
provide for payments to the named executive officers or any other persons
following, or in connection with the resignation, retirement or other
termination of a named executive officer, or a change in control of us or a
change in a named executive officer’s responsibilities following a change in
control.
Employment
Agreements
None
of
our employees have written employment agreements other than our President,
Anthony Macaluso. On July 15, 2008 we entered into an employment agreement
with
Mr. Macaluso which runs through December 31, 2008, and provides for an annual
base salary of $275,000 and a stock award of 1,500,000 shares payable as of
the
date of the agreement. The agreement is renewable upon the mutual written
consent of the parties. If we terminate the agreement prior to the end of the
term, without cause, we are obligated to pay Mr. Macaluso the salary due to
him
through the end of the term of the employment agreement.
All
of
our other employees are employees at will and can be terminated upon notice.
We
pay employees for national holidays and vacation time of one week per year.
We
provide Medical benefits for the employee only and do not currently provide
any
other benefit or retirement programs. Employees may receive bonuses from time
to
time in the form of cash or equity at the sole discretion of the board of
directors. We expect to enter into formal employment agreement with our other
executive officers and key employees in the near future.
We
have
several employees with compensation rates in excess of $100,000 per year that
are not officers or key employees as they could be replaced without
significantly impacting our operations. These employees consist primarily of
technical staff.
Compensation
of Directors
There
are
currently no compensation arrangements in place for members of the Board of
Directors. We expect to establish these arrangements as new members are
appointed to the Board of Directors.
2008
Stock Plan
On
April
22, 2008 Hosting’s Board and the holders of a majority of Hosting’s then
outstanding shares approved and adopted the 2008 Stock Plan (the “2008 Plan”). A
copy of the 2008 Plan is attached as Exhibit 10.11 to this Current Report on
Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The purpose of the 2008 Plan
is to advance our interests by inducing eligible individuals of outstanding
ability and potential to join and remain with or provide consulting or advisory
services to us or our affiliates by encouraging and enabling eligible employees,
outside directors, consultants and advisors to acquire proprietary interests
in
our Company and by providing such eligible participants with an additional
incentive to work towards our success.
Subject
to Section 13 of the Plan, an aggregate of eight million eight hundred thousand
(8,800,000) shares of our Common Stock is reserved for issuance under the 2008
Plan, which may be authorized but un-issued shares, or shares held in our
treasury, or shares purchased from stockholders expressly for use under the
2008
Plan. In addition, shares allocable to awards granted under the 2008 Plan that
expire, are forfeited, are cancelled without the delivery of the shares, or
otherwise terminate unexercised, may again be available for awards under the
Plan.
The
number of shares subject to the 2008 Plan, the number of shares subject to
any
numerical limit in the 2008 Plan, and the number of shares and terms of any
award, may be adjusted in the event of any change in our outstanding common
stock by reason of any stock dividend, spin-off, stock split, reverse stock
split, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, liquidation,
business combination or exchange of shares, or similar transaction.
Administration
Our
board
of directors presently administers the 2008 Plan. At some future time we may
designate a compensation committee to administer the 2008 Plan. Subject to
the
terms of the 2008 Plan, the board or the compensation committee thereof, as
the
case may be, has complete authority and discretion to determine the terms of
awards under the 2008 Plan.
Grants
The
2008
Plan authorizes the grant to 2008 Plan participants of non-qualified stock
options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, and stock
appreciation rights, as described below:
|
·
|
Options
granted under the 2008 Plan entitle the grantee, upon exercise, to
purchase a specified number of shares from us at a specified exercise
price per share. The exercise price for shares of Common Stock covered
by
an option cannot be less than the fair market value of the Common
Stock on
the date of grant. Except as provided in Section 13 of the 2008 Plan,
(i)
the exercise price of an option may not be decreased after the date
of
grant and (ii) a participant may not surrender an option in consideration
for the grant of a new option with a lower exercise price or another
award. No option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the
date of
grant. If an incentive stock option is granted to an employee who
owns, at
the date of grant, more than 10 percent of the total combined voting
power
of all classes of stock of ours or an affiliate, then (i) the option
price
of the shares subject to the incentive stock option shall be at least
110%
of the fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant
and (ii)
such incentive stock option shall not be exercisable after the expiration
of 5 years from the date of grant.
|
|
·
|
The
administrator of the 2008 Plan may make grants of restricted stock
to a
participant and shall establish as to each award of restricted stock
the
terms and conditions to which the restricted stock is subject, including
the period of time before which all restrictions shall lapse and
the
participant shall have full ownership of the common stock. The
administrator of the 2008 Plan in its discretion may award restricted
stock without cash consideration. Restricted stock may not be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered
or
disposed of until the restrictions have lapsed or been removed.
|
|
·
|
Concurrently
with the award of any Option to purchase one or more shares of Common
Stock, the administrator of the 2008 Plan may, in its sole discretion,
award to the optionee with respect to each share of Common Stock
covered
by an option a related stock appreciation right, which permits the
optionee to be paid the appreciation on the related option in lieu
of
exercising the option. The administrator of the 2008 Plan shall establish
as to each award of stock appreciation rights the terms and conditions
to
which the stock appreciation rights are subject; provided, however,
that
the following terms and conditions shall apply to all stock appreciation
rights:
|
|
(i)
|
A
stock appreciation right granted with respect to an incentive stock
option
must be granted together with the related option. A stock appreciation
right granted with respect to a nonqualified stock option may be
granted
together with the grant of the related
option;
|
|
(ii)
|
A
stock appreciation right shall entitle the participant, upon exercise
of
the stock appreciation right, to receive in exchange an amount equal
to
the excess of (a) the fair market value on the date of exercise of
common
stock covered by the surrendered stock appreciation right over (b)
the
fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant of the
stock
appreciation right. The administrator of the 2008 Plan may limit
the
amount that the participant will be entitled to receive upon exercise
of a
stock appreciation right;
|
|
(iii)
|
A
stock appreciation right may be exercised only if and to the extent
the
underlying option is exercisable, and a stock appreciation right
may not
be exercisable in any event more than 10 years after the date of
grant;
|
|
(iv)
|
A
stock appreciation right may only be exercised at a time when the
fair
market value of company stock covered by the stock appreciation right
exceeds the fair market value of common stock on the date of grant
of the
stock appreciation right. The stock appreciation right may provide
for
payment in common stock or cash, or a fixed combination of common
stock
and cash, or the administrator of the 2008 Plan may reserve the right
to
determine the manner of payment at the time the stock appreciation
right
is exercised; and
|
|
(v)
|
To
the extent a stock appreciation right is exercised, the underlying
option
shall be cancelled, and the shares of common stock represented by
the
option shall no longer be available for awards under the 2008
Plan.
|
Duration,
Amendment, and Termination
The
Board
has the power to amend, suspend or terminate the 2008 Plan without stockholder
approval or ratification at any time or from time to time. No change may be
made
that increases the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance
pursuant to incentive awards or reduces the minimum exercise price for options
or exchange of options for other incentive awards, unless such change is
authorized by our stockholders within one year of the date of such change.
Unless sooner terminated, the 2008 Plan terminates April 21, 2018.

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Related
Party Transactions
Our
President, Anthony Macaluso, is currently a majority shareholder of Soapbox
Mobile, Inc. which is providing the use of server equipment to Single Touch
at a
monthly rate of $4000 per month. This is a month to month agreement and is
not
material to Single Touch revenues at this time. The board has reviewed the
terms
of this agreement and has determined that the fee is not excessive based on
Soapbox Mobile’s costs associated with the equipment.
During
2006, Single Touch issued 4,500,000 shares of its common stock to Anthony
Macaluso, the President of Single Touch, for services rendered. The shares
were
valued at $6,300,000. Also during 2006, Mr. Macaluso purchased 6,000,000 shares
of Single Touch’s common stock for $2,500,000, and returned 1,500,000 shares of
Single Touch’s common stock owned by him back to treasury in exchange for
increasing the loan amount due him by Single Touch at that time by
$625,000.
During
2007, Single Touch accrued compensation to Anthony Macaluso of $2,100,000.
The
compensation was valued based upon the estimated fair value of the 3,000,000
shares of Single Touch’s common stock that are to be issued in consideration for
these services. The shares were issued in 2008.
Single
Touch issued stock warrants to various consultants in 2005 for the purchase
of
5,000,000 shares of Single Touch’s common stock at a price of $1.00 per share.
In 2007, Single Touch’s President acquired these stock warrants.
In
June
of 2008, Single Touch issued stock warrants to Laurence Dunn, a Director as
consideration for consulting services. Mr. Dunn’s consulting services were as a
strategic advisor performing corporate planning, strategic consulting projects,
mergers and acquisition advise, introduction to institutional groups, financial
engineering services and related services. The warrants were for the purchase
of
1,000,000 shares of Single Touch’s common stock at a price of $0.01 per share.
The compensation was valued based upon the estimated fair value of the warrants
at $463,500.
Single
Touch engages Richard Siber, a director, on a cash basis for consulting services
through SiberConsulting which provides technical and marketing services to
the
wireless industry. From February 1, 2008 through July 2008, Mr. Siber has
received $80,000 in cash compensation. Mr. Siber received a total of $120,000
for the year ended 2007.
James
Darcy is currently employed at will as a Senior Vice President and receives
an
annual salary of $180,000. Mr. Darcy received a bonus of common stock in March
of 2008 of 225,000 shares valued at $315,000.
Tom
Hovasse is currently employed at will as an Executive Vice President and
Secretary and receives an annual salary of $162,000. Mr. Hovasse received a
bonus of common stock in March of 2008 of 150,000 shares valued at $210,000.
Single
Touch entered into an agreement with Activate, Inc., a corporation wholly owned
by Single Touch’s President. Activate holds a license on certain applications on
which Single Touch licensed to a third party Activate has sublicensed the
applications to Single Touch and in consideration, receives 3% of all net
revenue generated under the license. Activate collects the revenue generated
under this license and pays 97% of the amounts collected to Single Touch.
Single
Touch’s President has advanced funds to Single Touch over the past several
years. At the end of 2006, Single Touch repaid amounts in excess of his then
loan balance. Accrued interest was adjusted accordingly. His advances to Single
Touch in 2007 far exceeded the shortfall.
Interest
is assessed on the advances at an annual rate of 8%. The total balance owed
including accrued interest is fully due and payable on December 2010. Interest
charged and (credited) to operations in 2007 amounted to $26,415 and $(31,423),
respectively. Interest charged and (credited) to operations in 2006 amounted
to
$31,094 and $(22,199), respectively. In December 2006, Single Touch’s president
returned 1,500,000 shares of common stock to treasury in exchange for increasing
Single Touch’s indebtedness to him at that time by $625,000. The 1,500,000
shares were subsequently cancelled by Single Touch. The balance owing Single
Touch including accrued interest, as of December 31, 2006 amounted to $986,510.
The balance owing the President including accrued interest, as of December
31,
2007 amounted to $1,833,480.
Activate,
Inc. and Activate Sports LLC have also made advances to Single Touch. Both
of
these entities are wholly owned by Single Touch’s President. The advances are
assessed interest an annual rate of 8% and are fully due and payable along
with
accrued interest on December 2010. For 2007 and 2006, interest charged to
operations was $46,710 and $42,681, respectively. The balances due, including
accrued interest, at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $609,486 and $562,775,
respectively. Both of these entities are wholly owned by Single Touch’s
President.
Total
amounts due Single Touch’s President and his wholly owned companies, including
accrued compensation, net of the balance due from him in 2006 amounted to
$5,321,255 as of December 31, 2007 and $182,976 as of December 31,
2006.
As
of
July 15, 2008 Mr. Macaluso has converted outstanding amounts due him, including
accrued salary, loans to Single Touch, amounts owed to him through his companies
Activate, Inc. and Activate Sports LLC and any accrued interest into three
promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,954,514 due on demand
which otherwise mature on July 15, 2010. The notes bear interest at the rate
of
8% and are convertible on demand at the rate of $0.08 per share.

We
are
authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 52,486,065 shares of
which were issued and outstanding following the Closing of the Merger. The
holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters
submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors.
Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a
majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the
votes
entitled to be cast by all shares of Common Stock that are present in person
or
represented by proxy, subject to any voting rights granted to holders of any
preferred stock. Except as otherwise provided by law, and subject to any voting

available. Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding series of
preferred stock, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
the
Common Stock holders will be entitled to receive pro rata all assets available

In

Agreement and offering and subject to Securities Act Rule 415 registration
restrictions, we expect to file within 60 days of the Closing Date, a

Offering, including the shares underlying the Class A Warrants and Class B
Warrants comprising part of the Units, and certain other shares owned by certain
shareholders of Hosting prior to the Merger. We have agreed to use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause this Registration Statement to become effective
as
soon as practicable after the date filed. We have also agreed to use
commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of this
Registration Statement through the second anniversary of the date the
Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC or until Rule 144 of
the
Securities Act is available to all of the selling stockholders with respect
to
all of their shares, whichever is earlier.

shares of preferred stock into series and to fix and determine the relative
rights and preferences of the shares of any such series. Once authorized, the
dividend or interest rates, conversion rates, voting rights, redemption prices,
maturity dates and similar characteristics of the preferred stock will be
determined by the Board of Directors, without the necessity of obtaining
approval of the Company's stockholders.
Description

the
Company issuable upon exercise of the Company warrants are subject to adjustment
upon the happening of earlier corporate events including, but not limited to,

In
April
2008 we terminated the Hosting Site Network, Inc. 2002 Non-Statutory Stock
Option Plan (the “2002 Plan”) and adopted the 2008 Stock Plan (the “2008 Plan”).
No options were ever issued under the 2002 Plan. The 2008 Plan is intended
to
advance our interests by inducing individuals of outstanding ability and
potential to join, remain with, or provide consulting or advisory services
to us
and our affiliates, by encouraging and enabling eligible employees, non-employee
directors, consultants and advisors to acquire proprietary interests in us,
and
by providing the participating employees, non-employee directors, consultants
and advisors with an additional incentive to promote our success. This is
accomplished by providing for the granting of incentive stock options,
non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock
to
eligible persons. The 2008 Plan is presently administered by our board of
directors but may be subsequently administered by a compensation committee
designated by our board of directors.
The
stock
subject to options granted under the 2008 Plan is shares of our common stock,
par value $.001 per share, whether authorized but unissued or held in our
treasury. The maximum number of shares of common stock which may be issued
pursuant to options and awards granted under the 2008 Plan shall not exceed
in
the aggregate eight million, eight hundred thousand (8,800,000) shares, subject
to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the 2008 Plan.
In the event that our outstanding common stock is subsequently changed by reason
of combination of shares, reverse split, stock dividend or the like, an
appropriate adjustment will be made by the 2008 Plan administrator in the
aggregate number and kind of shares to be subject to the 2008 Plan and the
awards then outstanding or to be granted, the maximum number of shares which
may
be granted under the 2008 Plan, the per share exercise price of options and
the
terms of awards. If we are reorganized, consolidated, or merged with another
corporation, the holder of an option or award may be entitled to receive upon
the exercise of his option or award the same number and kind of shares of stock
or the same amount of property, cash or securities as he would have been
entitled to receive upon the happening of any such corporate event as if he
has
been, immediately prior to such event, the holder of the number of shares
covered by his option or award.
No
option
or award granted under the 2008 Plan is transferable by the individual or entity
to whom it was granted otherwise than by will or laws of decent and
distribution, and, during the lifetime of such individual, is not exercisable
by
any other person, but only by him. For additional information concerning the
2008 Plan, see “Part I, Item 6. Executive Compensation - 2008 Stock Option
Plan”.
From
time
to time the Company may be named in claims arising in the ordinary course of
business. Currently, no legal proceedings or claims are pending against or
involve the Company that, in the opinion of management, could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on its business and financial
condition.

CHANGES
IN ACCOUNTANTS
Most
& Company, LLP (“Mostco”) was appointed as our principal independent
accountants on December 10, 2003 and in such capacity audited our financial
statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006
and prepared audit reports on such financial statements. On May 8, 2007 we
were
advised by Mostco that Mostco had combined its practice with and into Raich
Ende
Malter & Co. LLP (“Raich Ende”). Mostco has therefore effectively resigned
as our principal independent accountants. On May 8, 2007 we engaged Raich Ende
as our principal independent accountant for the fiscal year ending September
30,
2007. The resignation of Mostco and appointment of Raich Ende was approved
by
our board of directors.
The
reports of Mostco on our financial statements for the years ended September
30,
2006 and 2005 contained no adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion, nor
were
they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principle.
In
connection with the audits for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2006 and
2005 and during the subsequent interim period through May 8, 2007, there were
no
disagreements between us and Mostco on any matter of accounting principles
or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures,
which disagreements, if not resolved to their satisfaction, would have caused
Mostco to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection
with their reports.
In
connection with the audit of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2006 and
2005
and during the subsequent interim period through May 8, 2007, Mostco did not
advise us that:
|
·
|
internal
controls necessary for us to develop reliable financial statements
did not
exist;
|
|
·
|
information
had come to their attention that led them to no longer be able to
rely on
our management's representations or made them unwilling to be associated
with the financial statements prepared by our management;
|
|
·
|
there
was a need to expand significantly the scope of their audit, or that
information had come to their attention during such time periods
that if
further investigated might materially impact the fairness or reliability
of either a previously issued audit report or the underlying financial
statement; or the financial statements issued or to be issued covering
the
fiscal periods subsequent to the date of the most recent financial
statements covered by an audit report; or
|
|
·
|
information
had come to their attention that they had concluded materially impacted
the fairness or reliability of either (i) a previously issued audit
report
or the underlying financial statements, or (ii) the financial statements
issued or to be issued covering the fiscal periods subsequent to
the date
of the most recent financial statements covered by an audit report.
|
Prior
to
the engagement of Raich Ende we had no consultations or discussions with Raich
Ende regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed
or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered
by them on or financial statements. Further, prior to their engagement, we
received no oral or written advice from Raich Ende of any kind.

RECENT
SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
The
following identifies all securities sold by us during the past three years
without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Securities
Sold by Hosting
On
each
of January 29, 2008 and February 13, 2008 Hosting sold 500,000 shares of common
stock at a price of $0.02 per share or $10,000. In each instance, the shares
were sold to a single subscriber. The shares were sold in reliance on Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, since the foregoing sales did
not involve a public offering, each of the recipients had access to information
that would be included in a registration statement, each of the recipients
bought the shares for investment and not resale, and we took appropriate
measures to restrict resale.
On
March
17, 2008 we sold a $200,000 45-day, non-interest bearing note to a single
subscriber in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. On April 15, 2008 the subscriber agreed to allow us to cancel the
March
17, 2008 note and replace it with a new note dated March 17, 2008 (the
“Replacement Note”) which was identical in all respects to the notes described
below under ”Shares Issued in Connection with the 2008 Convertible Note
Offering”. In connection with the July 24, 2008 closing of the Merger, the
Replacement Note was converted into units.
Securities
Issued by Single Touch before the Merger
All
of
the Single Touch securities issuance referenced below were issued in reliance
on
Section 4(2) or Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The
recipients of the securities acquired such securities for investment purposes
without a view to distribution. Furthermore, they had full access to information
concerning Single Touch and its business prospects and there was no general
solicitation or advertising for the purchase of the securities. Single Touch
completed a 2:1 reverse split of its common stock on May 27, 2008. All
references to Single Touch securities issuances prior to May 27, 2008 give
retroactive effect to the reverse split.
Common
Stock
During
the period January 2005 through October 2005 Single Touch was engaged in an
offering of its common stock pursuant to which it sold a total of 643,893 common
shares to 121 accredited investors at a price of $6.00 per share for total
proceeds of $3,863, 355. In connection with the offering, Single Touch paid
17,626 shares as finder’s fees to three individuals.
Single
Touch issued stock warrants to various consultants in 2005 for the purchase

interest.

shares of Single Touch’s common stock that were to be issued in consideration
for these services. The shares were issued in on April 14, 2008.
On
February 7, 2008, Single Touch issued 2,500,000 shares of its common stock

November 11, 2005, Single Touch issued common stock purchase warrants to two
consultants for the purchase of 5,000,000 shares of Single Touch’s common stock

per
share. The warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of the respective grant.
During
the period January 16, 2007 through July 23, 2007, Single Touch received
$150,000 through the issuance of convertible debt to two persons. Single Touch

expire on the fifth anniversary of the respective dates of grant.

Convertible
Promissory Notes
As
of
July 2008 the President of Single Touch has converted all outstanding amounts
due him including accrued salary, loans to Single Touch, amounts owed to him
through his companies Activate, Inc. and Activate Sports LLC and any accrued
interest due thereon into three promissory notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $2,954,514, due on demand which otherwise mature on July 15, 2010.
The
notes bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum and are convertible at the
rate
of $0.08 per share.
Securities
Issued in Connection with the 2008 Convertible Note
Offering
During
the period March 24, 2008 through June 30, 2008, we engaged in a private
offering whereby we sold an aggregate of $3,300,000 in convertible promissory
notes (the “Company Notes”) including the March 17, 2008 Replacement Note issued
on April 15, 2008 discussed above under “Shares Sold by Hosting”. Each Company
Note was convertible into Company units (the “Units”), at a purchase price of
$1.25 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock, one Class
A
Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock for a period of eighteen (18)
months at an exercise price of $1.60 per share and one Class B Warrant to
purchase one share of Common Stock for a period of thirty-six (36) months at
an
exercise price of $2.05 per share. The Offering was made only to accredited
investors as defined under Regulation D, Rule 501(a) promulgated by the SEC
or
to non-US Persons. In July 2008 in connection with the closing of the Merger,
the Company Notes were automatically converted into an aggregate of 2,640,000
Units consisting of 2,640,000 shares of common stock, 2,640,000 Class A Warrants
and 2,640,000 Class B Warrants. The sale of the Company Notes in the Offering
was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) or Regulation S of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The shares of common
stock together with the Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants issued upon
conversion of the Company Notes were issued in reliance on Section 3(a)(9)
of
the Securities Act.
Securities
Issued in Connection with the Merger
In
connection with the Merger, we issued 42,967,554 shares of our common stock
to
the former shareholders of Single Touch, 11,096,000 common stock purchase
warrants to former warrantholders of Single Touch and an aggregate of $2,954,514
in convertible notes to former noteholders of Single Touch. The foregoing
issuances were made in reliance on Regulation D under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.
5.
INDEMNIFICATION
OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Our
Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of our directors and officers
to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that
directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages
for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for: (i)
breach of the directors’ duty of loyalty; (ii) acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the
law,
(iii) the unlawful payment of a dividend or unlawful stock purchase or
redemption, and (iv) any transaction from which the director derives an improper
personal benefit. Delaware law does not permit a corporation to eliminate a
director’s duty of care, and this provision of our Certificate of Incorporation
has no effect on the availability of equitable remedies, such as injunction
or
rescission, based upon a director’s breach of the duty of care.
The
effect of the foregoing is to require us to indemnify our officers and directors
for any claim arising against our directors and officers in their official
capacities if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
INSOFAR
AS INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES MAY BE PERMITTED TO OUR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS
AND CONTROLLING PERSONS PURSUANT TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS, OR OTHERWISE,
WE
HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT IN THE OPINION OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
THIS TYPE OF INDEMNIFICATION IS AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY AND IS, THEREFORE,
UNENFORCEABLE.
Anti-Takeover
Effects of Provisions of Delaware State Law
Section
203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
We
are
not presently subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law (Section 203). Under Section 203, certain business combinations
between a Delaware corporation whose stock generally is publicly traded or
held
of record by more than 2,000 stockholders and an interested stockholder are
prohibited for a three-year period following the date that such stockholder
became an interested stockholder, unless (i) the corporation has elected in
its
original certificate of incorporation not to be governed by Section 203 (we
did
not make such an election) (ii) the business combination was approved by the
Board of Directors of the corporation before the other party to the business
combination became an interested stockholder (iii) upon consummation of the
transaction that made it an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder
owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the
commencement of the transaction (excluding voting stock owned by directors
who
are also officers or held in employee benefit plans in which the employees
do
not have a confidential right to render or vote stock held by the plan) or,
(iv)
the business combination was approved by the Board of Directors of the
corporation and ratified by two-thirds of the voting stock which the interested
stockholder did not own. The three-year prohibition also does not apply to
certain business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following
the announcement or notification of certain extraordinary transactions involving
the corporation and a person who had not been an interested stockholder during
the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the
approval of the majority of the corporation’s directors. The term business
combination is defined generally to include mergers or consolidations between
a
Delaware corporation and an interested stockholder, transactions with an
interested stockholder involving the assets or stock of the corporation or
its
majority-owned subsidiaries and transactions which increase an interested
stockholder’s percentage ownership of stock. The term interested stockholder is
defined generally as a stockholder who, together with affiliates and associates,
owns (or, within three years prior, did own) 15% or more of a Delaware
corporation’s voting stock. If it should become applicable to us in the future,
Section 203 could prohibit or delay a merger, takeover or other change in
control of our company and therefore could discourage attempts to acquire
us.

Single
Touch Interactive, Inc.
Encinitas,
California
We
have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. (“the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' (deficit), and cash flows, for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our
opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. as of
December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows
for the years then ended, 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 recurring losses and has yet to be
successful in establishing profitable operations. These factors, among others,
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the
outcome of this uncertainty.

See

Note 1.
|
Organization,
History and Business
|
Single
Touch Interactive, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Nevada on April
2,
2002. The Company develops software applications utilized by end users in
downloading images, ringtones, games, and other content into their cell phones
and other wireless communication devices.
Basis
of Presentation
The
Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of
accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in
the
normal course of business. The Company has accumulated operating losses since
its inception (April 2, 2002). In addition, the Company has used ongoing working
capital in its operations. At December 31, 2007, current liabilities exceed
current assets by $6,641,023 and the Company’s loss from operations amounted to
$9,296,105, and accumulated deficit amounted to $78,935,755.
In
view
of current matters, the continuation of the Company’s operations is dependent on
revenue from its licensing of its technologies and related services advancements
made by its officers, and the raising capital through the sale of its equity
instruments or issuance of debt. Management believes that these sources of
funds
will allow the Company to continue as a going concern through 2008. However,
no
assurances can be made that current or anticipated future sources of funds
will
enable the Company to finance future periods’ operations. In light of these
circumstances, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue
as
a going concern.
Note 2.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Basis
of Presentation
Certain
reclassifications have been made to conform the 2006 amounts to 2007
classifications for comparative purposes.
Unaudited
Interim Information
The
accompanying interim balance sheet as of March 31, 2008, the statements of
operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and
2008, and the statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 are unaudited. These unaudited interim
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the
unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis
as
the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting solely
of normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for the fair presentation
of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2008 and its results of
operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and
2008. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2008.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”)
No. 101,
Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements
,
as
revised by SAB No. 104. As such, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is
fixed or readily determinable and collectability is probable. Sales are recorded
net of sales discounts.
Revenue
is derived from licensing of the Company’s wireless applications to various
telecommunication companies. Under the terms of the various licensing
agreements, the Company receives a fee, net of revenue sharing and other costs,
each time its application is utilized by the end user. Revenue is recognized
in
the month the application is utilized. The Company records its revenue pursuant
to EITF 99-19 “
Reporting
Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent”.
In
addition, the Company also generates income through the development of software
for third parties on a contractual basis. Revenue is recognized upon delivery
of
the software.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable is reported at the customers’ outstanding balances less any allowance
for doubtful accounts. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts
receivable.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
An
allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations
in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts
at a
level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management
determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off
percentages and information collected from individual customers. Accounts
receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is
determined to be permanently impaired.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged
to
the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not
improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed. At the time
property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and
related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable
amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged
to
income.
Depreciation
is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods for financial reporting
and income tax reporting purposes based upon the following estimated useful
lives:

Long-Lived
Assets
The
Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144,
“
Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
.”
SFAS
No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying
value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses
recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net
cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition.
If
the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an
impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying
value and fair value or disposable value. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the
Company did not believe there was any impairment of its long-lived assets.
Prepaid
Royalties
The
Company’s agreements with licensors and developers generally provide it with
exclusive publishing rights and require it to make advance royalty payments
that
are recouped against royalties due to the licensor or developer based on product
sales. Prepaid royalties are amortized on a software application-by-application
basis based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total
current and estimated future sales or the contractual royalty rate based on
actual net product sales. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability
of prepaid royalties and charges to operations the amount that management
determines is probable that will not be recouped at the contractual royalty
rate
in the period in which such determination is made or at the time the Company
determines that it will cancel a development project. Prepaid royalties are
classified as current and non-current assets based upon estimated net product
sales within the next year.
Capitalized
Software Development Costs
The
Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to
establishing technological feasibility of a software application. Capitalized
software development costs represent the costs associated with the internal
development of the Company’s software applications. Amortization of such costs
is recorded on a software application-by-application basis based on the greater
of the proportion of current year sales to total of current and estimated future
sales for the applications or the straight-line method over the remaining
estimated useful life of the software application. The Company continually
evaluates the recoverability of capitalized software costs and will charge
to
operations amounts that are deemed unrecoverable for projects it will
abandon.
Issuances
Involving Non-cash Consideration
All
issuances of the Company’s stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a
dollar amount equaling the market value of the shares issued on the date the
shares were issued for such services. The non-cash consideration received
pertains to consulting services.
Stock
Based Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123R, "Share-
based
Payment” and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition
and Disclosure - An amendment to SFAS No. 123.” These standards define a fair
value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In accordance
with SFAS Nos. 123R and 148, the cost of stock-based compensation is measured
at
the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the
vesting period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model, whereby compensation cost is the excess
of
the fair value of the award as determined by the pricing model at the grant
date
or other measurement date over the amount that must be paid to acquire the
stock. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis
over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which
is
generally the vesting period. During 2006, the Company recognized $6,300,000
in
stock based compensation from the issuance of 9,000,000 shares of its common
stock to its president. During 2007, the Company recognized $1,750,000 in stock
based compensation from the issuance of 2,500,000 shares of its common stock
to
a consultant.
Also
in
2007, the Company recognized compensation expense of $1,384,400 from the
granting of stock warrants for the purchase of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock (See Note 12) and $2,100,000 in accrued compensation for services
rendered by its President.
Loss
Per Share
The
Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing
income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number
of
common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar
to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased
to
include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding
if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common
shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented
since the effect of the assumed conversion of warrants to purchase common shares
would have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares as of December
31,
2007 were 13,548,000 warrants, and $3,096,000 of debt convertible into 4,422,856
shares of the Company’s common stock that have been excluded from the
computation of diluted net loss per share. Potential common shares as of
December 31, 2006 21,473,000 warrants, and $2,946,000 of debt convertible into
4,208,571 shares of the Company’s common stock that have been excluded from the
computation of diluted net loss per share. These potential common shares are
excluded because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. If such shares were
included in diluted EPS, they would have resulted in weighted-average common
shares of 68,408,526 and 46,085,617 for 2007 and 2006, respectively
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
For
purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash and cash
equivalents to include all stable, highly liquid investments with maturities
of
three months or less.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
The
Company primarily transacts its business with one financial institution. The
amount on deposit in that one institution exceeded the $100,000 federally
insured limit during 2007 and 2006.
During
2007, significantly all of the Company’s revenue was generated from contracts
with nine customers. During 2006, significantly all of the Company’s revenue was
generated from contracts with three customers. Fees from one customer in both
years were collected and paid to the Company by a related party. See Note
10.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affects the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Convertible
Debentures
If
the
conversion feature of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of
conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a
beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a
debt discount pursuant to EITF Issue No. 98-5 (“EITF 98-05”), “Accounting for
Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency
Adjustable Conversion Ratio,” and EITF Issue No. 00-27, “Application of EITF
Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments.” In those circumstances, the
convertible debt will be recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and
the
Company will amortize the discount to interest expense over the life of the
debt
using the effective interest method.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for its income taxes under the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards 109 ("SFAS 109"). The method of accounting for
income taxes under SFAS 109 is an asset and liability method. The asset and
liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets
for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax
bases and financial reporting bases of other assets and liabilities.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Pursuant
to SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, the
Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments
included on its balance sheets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. The Company
considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to
approximate their fair value.
Advertising
The
Company expenses all advertising as incurred. Advertising expense for the years
ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $12,211 and $23,584,
respectively.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS
No. 159
- In
February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159,
The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 115
.
This
Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments
and
certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial
reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility
in
reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently
without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement
is
expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with
the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial
instruments. This Statement applies to all entities, including not-for-profit
organizations. Most of the provisions of this Statement apply only to entities
that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to FASB Statement
No.
115,
Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,
applies
to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. Some
requirements apply differently to entities that do not report net income. This
Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that
begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning
of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity
also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157,
Fair
Value Measurements.
No
entity
is permitted to apply this Statement retrospectively to fiscal years preceding
the effective date unless the entity chooses early adoption. The choice to
adopt
early should be made after issuance of this Statement but within 120 days of
the
beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, provided the entity has not yet issued
financial statements, including required notes to those financial statements,
for any interim period of the fiscal year of adoption.
This
Statement permits application to eligible items existing at the effective date
(or early adoption date).
The
Company has evaluated the impact of the implementation of SFAS No. 159 and
does
not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results
of
operations or financial position.
SFAS
No. 141(R)
- In
December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141(R),
Business
Combinations
.
This
Statement applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity (the
acquirer) obtains control of one or more businesses (the acquirer), including
those sometimes referred to as "true mergers" or "mergers of equals" and
combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration, for example, by
contract alone or through the lapse of minority veto rights. This Statement
applies to all business entities, including mutual entities that previously
used
the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for some business combinations.
It
does not apply to:
6.
The
formation of a joint venture
7.
The
acquisition of an asset or a group of assets that does not constitute a
business
8.
A
combination between entities or businesses under common control
9.
A
combination between not-for-profit organizations
10.
The
acquisition of a for-profit business by a not-for-profit
organization
This
Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement
retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition
method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used
for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each
business combination. This Statement defines the acquirer as the entity that
obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and
establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control.
Statement 141 did not define the acquirer, although it included guidance on
identifying the acquirer, as does this Statement. This Statement's scope is
broader than that of Statement 141, which applied only to business combinations
in which control was obtained by transferring consideration. By applying the
same method of accounting - the acquisition method - to all transactions and
other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other
businesses, this Statement improves the comparability of the information about
business combinations provided in financial reports.
This
Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting
period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it
before that date. The Company is currently evaluating SFAS 141(R), and has
not
yet determined its potential impact on its future results of operations or
financial position.
SFAS
No. 160
- In
December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160,
Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an Amendment of ARB No.
51
.
A
noncontrolling interest, sometimes called a minority interest, is the portion
of
equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent.
The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, comparability,
and
transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides
in
its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting
standards that require:
|
·
|
The
ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the
parent
be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated
statement of financial position within equity, but separate from
the
parent's equity.
|
|
·
|
The
amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and
to the
noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the
face of
the consolidated statement of
income.
|
|
·
|
Changes
in a parent's ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling
financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently.
A
parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary changes if the parent
purchases additional ownership interests in its subsidiary or if
the
parent sells some of its ownership interests in its subsidiary. It
also
changes if the subsidiary reacquires some of its ownership interests
or
the subsidiary issues additional ownership interests. All of those
transactions are economically similar, and this Statement requires
that
they be accounted for similarly, as equity
transactions.
|
|
·
|
When
a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity
investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair
value.
The gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary is measured
using the fair value of any noncontrolling equity investment rather
than
the carrying amount of that retained
investment.
|
|
·
|
Entities
provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish
between the interests of the parent and the interests of the
noncontrolling owners.
|
This
Statement applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial
statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those
entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more
subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. Not-for-profit organizations
should continue to apply the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
Consolidated Financial Statements, before the amendments made by this Statement,
and any other applicable standards, until the Board issues interpretative
guidance. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting
standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest
in
a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should
be
reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Before this
Statement was issued, limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling
interests. As a result, considerable diversity in practice existed. So-called
minority interests were reported in the consolidated statement of financial
position as liabilities or in the mezzanine section between liabilities and
equity. This Statement improves comparability by eliminating that diversity.
This
Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited.
The effective date of this Statement is the same as that of the related
Statement 141(R). This Statement shall be applied prospectively as of the
beginning of the fiscal year in which this Statement is initially applied,
except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and
disclosure requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all periods
presented. The Company is currently evaluating SFAS 160 and has not yet
determined its potential impact on its future results of operations or financial
position.
SFAS
No. 161
- In
December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This
Statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and
hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about
(a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133
and
its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related
hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and
cash flows.
This
Statement is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in Statement
133. The Statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments
be
disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This
disclosure better conveys the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks
that the entity is intending to manage. Disclosing the fair values of derivative
instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format should provide a
more
complete picture of the location in an entity’s financial statements of both the
derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives
during the reporting period. Disclosing information about credit-risk-related
contingent features should provide information on the potential effect on an
entity’s liquidity from using derivatives. Finally, this Statement requires
cross-referencing within the footnotes, which should help users of financial
statements locate important information about derivative
instruments.
This
Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative
disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption.
The
Company is currently evaluating SFAS 161 and has not yet determined its
potential impact on its future results of operations or financial
position.

As
of
December 31, 2007, for income tax purposes, the Company has unused operating
loss carryforwards of approximately $22,000,000, which may provide future
federal tax benefits of approximately $7,500,000 which expire in various years
through 2027 and future state benefits of approximately $1,900,000 which expire
in various years through 2017.
An
allowance of $9,400,000 has been provided to reduce the tax benefits accrued
by
the Company for these operating losses to zero as it cannot be determined when,
or if, the tax benefits derived from these losses will materialize. Timing
differences between expenses deducted for income tax and deducted for financial
reporting purposes are insignificant and have no material impact to the
differences in the reporting of income taxes.
The
provisions for income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and

During
2007 and 2006, the Company received a total of $3,096,000 in exchange for
issuing promissory notes that are assessed interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum
and mature on June 30, 2008. According to the terms of the promissory notes,
accrued interest is due on June 30, 2007 and 2008
.
If the
maturity date of the notes is extended, then interest is due on a quarterly
basis, thereafter. In the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the
Company’s assets, the Company agreed to pay the convertible debt with accrued
interest prior to paying any other debts, liabilities or other obligations.
Of
the total $3,196,000 received, $100,000 was refunded in 2007.
While
outstanding, the notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock
at a rate of $.70 per share. The conversion terms of the promissory notes
contain anti-dilution provisions. The Company has agreed to register the
underlying convertible shares in connection with the filing of any public
offering, subject to certain terms and conditions. Commencing on June 30, 2007,
the Company has the right to convert all or some of the convertible debt into
shares of its common stock at a price of $.70 per share.
For
each
$100,000 of convertible debt received, the Company granted warrants to purchase
50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $.88 per share. The
warrants expire five years after issuance and contain anti-dilution
provisions.
The
conversion features of the note are below market and therefore the Company
recorded a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) of $2,295,292 pursuant to EITF
Issue No. 98-5 (“EITF 98-05”), “Accounting for Convertible Securities with
Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency Adjustable Conversion Ratio,” and
EITF Issue No. 00-27, “Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible
Instruments.” The convertible debt was recorded net of the discount that
includes the BCF and related finance costs. The discount will be amortized
to
interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
The
balance of convertible debt due at December 31, 2007 and 2006 are as

Amortization of the discount charged to operations in 2007 and 2006 amounted
to
$1,106,412, and $223,945, respectively. Loan fees amortized to operations in
2007 amounted to $54,831.
The
Company and the note holders agreed that in lieu of cash, the accrued interest
due on June 30, 2007 of $165,692 would be paid through the issuance of 165,692
shares of the Company’s common stock. These shares were issued to the note
holders in January 2008.

The
Company’s president has advanced funds to the Company over the past several
years. At the end of 2006, the Company repaid amounts in excess of his then
loan
balance. Accrued interest was adjusted accordingly. His advances to the Company
in 2007 far exceeded the shortfall.
Interest
is assessed on the advances at an annual rate of 8%. The total balance owed
including accrued interest is fully due and payable on December 2010. Interest
charged and (credited) to operations in 2007 amounted to $26,415 and $(31,423),
respectively. Interest charged and (credited) to operations in 2006 amounted
to
$31,094 and $(22,199), respectively. In December 2006, the Company’s president
returned 3,000,000 shares of common stock to treasury in exchange for increasing
the Company’s indebtedness to him at that time by $625,000. The 3,000,000 shares
were subsequently cancelled by the Company. The balance owing the Company
including accrued interest, as of December 31, 2006 amounted to $986,510. The
balance owing the President including accrued interest, as of December 31,
2007
amounted to $1,833,480.
Activate,
Inc. and Activate Sports LLC have also made advances to the Company. Both of
these entities are wholly owned by the Company’s President. The advances are
assessed interest an annual rate of 8% and are fully due and payable along
with
accrued interest on December 2010. For 2007 and 2006, interest charged to
operations was $46,710 and $42,681, respectively. The balances due, including
accrued interest, at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $609,486 and $562,775,
respectively. Both of these entities are wholly owned by the Company’s
President.
Total
amounts due the Company’s President and his wholly owned companies, including
accrued compensation, net of the balance due from him in 2006 amounted to
$5,321,255 as of December 31, 2007 and $182,976 as of December 31,
2006.

During
2005, the Company financed a purchase of computer equipment totaling $23,303.
The loan bears interest at a rate of 26.49% and is payable in monthly
installments of $773. The loan is personally guaranteed by an officer of the
Company. Interest charged to operations in 2007 and 2006 amounted $3,299 and
$5,729, respectively. The balances due as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 were
$6,738 and $17,503, respectively.
During
2004, the Company borrowed $2,400,000 from several individuals and entities
related to these individuals. In 2006, the Company paid off the total balance
owed of $2,475,705, including accrued interest. The 686,000 warrants which
were
issued along with the indebtedness expired upon payoff. Interest charged to
operations on this indebtedness in 2006 to $44,440.
The
Company issued a total of 67,166 shares of its common stock to an unrelated
third party in connection with obtaining the $2,400,000 of indebtedness. The
shares issued were valued at $201,498 and were accounted for as loan fees that
were being amortized over the three-year life of the loans. Amortization expense
for 2006 totaled $106,321.
In
August
2006, the Company borrowed $2,500,000 from an unrelated third party. The loan
is
guaranteed by the Company’s president and is secured by 13,400,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock. The loan is assessed interest at an annual rate of 14%,
with principal and interest due on demand. At the lender’s option, the accrued
interest on the loan will be deemed consideration for the granting of a warrant
to purchase 51% of the equity in the Company. The terms of the warrant grant
and
related purchase price shall be negotiated in good faith by the parties during
the 60 day period following the exercise of the warrant option.
In
October 2007, the lender elected to convert the total amount due of $2,920,000
including $420,000 of accrued interest, into the 13,400,000 shares held in
escrow.
Interest
accruing on this debt charged to operations in 2007 and 2006 was $290,548 and

Party Transactions

During
2006, the Company issued 9,000,000 shares of its common stock to Anthony
Macaluso, the President of the Company, for services rendered. The shares were
valued $6,300,000. Also during 2006, Mr. Macaluso purchased 12,000,000 shares
of
the Company’s common stock for $2,500,000, and returned 3,000,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock owned by him back to treasury in exchange for increasing
the loan amount due him by the Company at that time by $625,000.
During
2007, the Company accrued compensation to its President of $2,100,000. The
compensation was valued based upon the estimated fair value of the 3,000,000
shares of the Company’s common stock that are to be issued in consideration for
these services. The shares were issued in 2008 (See Note 14).
As
discussed in Note 12, the Company issued stock warrants to various consultants
in 2005 for the purchase of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a
price of $.50 per share. In 2007, the Company’s President acquired these stock
warrants.
The
Company entered into an agreement with Activate, Inc., a corporation wholly
owned by the Company’s President. Activate holds a license on certain
applications on which the Company licensed to a third party Activate has
sublicensed the applications to the Company and in consideration, receives
3% of
all net revenue generated under the license. Activate collects the revenue
generated under this license and pays 97% of the amounts collected to the
Company.
In
December 2005, the Company received $2,000,000 in connection with an option
agreement and related service agreement. Under the terms of the option
agreement, the third party payer had until July 30, 2006 to exercise the option
to acquire the Company. The option was not exercised and the $2,000,000 is
treated as an advance against royalties earned by the Company on the use of
an
application licensed to the third party payer.
Under
the
service agreement, the Company provides the application for the first four
months at no cost, but is entitled to reimbursement for any direct pass through
third party costs paid by the Company relating to the use of the licensed
technology and related service. Thereafter the Company nets $.175 per
transaction on the delivery of any mobile content to the third Party payer
through the utilization of the application for a period of up to three years.
As
the $2,000,000 advance is not refundable, the Company is amortizing it into
revenue evenly over the remaining 29 months of the license agreement. Therefore
on a monthly basis, the Company is reporting revenue relating to this license

President.

In

Systems Inc. (formerly Hosting Site Network, Inc) “Hosting”. Hosting is a shell
company with limited assets and operations.
Under
the
terms of the merger, Hosting will exchange its common shares to shareholders
of
Interactive on a 1 for 1 basis. As of March 31, 2008, Hosting had 8,273,500
shares issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the original merger agreement,
Hosting was required to effectuate a 2.3:1 reverse stock split. Pursuant to
an
amendment to the agreement, Hosting effectuated a forward 3:1 stock split.
In
addition, terms of the merger required Hosting’s president to return 3,913,044
(post split) shares of its common stock owned by him to Hosting for
cancellation. The two stock splits adjusted the outstanding common shares of
Hosting prior to the merger and after the return of the president’s shares to
6,878,511 shares. All existing warrants and other stock conversions on which
Interactive is obligated will be transferred to Hosting on a 1 for 1 basis.
The
merger will be treated for financial reporting purposes as a reverse acquisition
whereby the Company’s operations will continue to be reported as if it had
actually been the acquirer.
In
March
and April 2008, the Company borrowed a total of $1,900,000 from Hosting under
a
bridge loan agreement whereby the Company can borrow up to an aggregate of
$3,300,000 on a one-year term. The loans are assessed interest at an annual
rate
of 12%. Loans under the agreement are collateralized by the Company’s assets.
Upon
the
consummation of the merger between the two companies, the outstanding principal
and accrued interest will be forgiven. If the merger is not consummated through
the actions of the Company, Hosting has the right to convert the outstanding
balance due into units at a price of $1.25 per unit. Each unit consists of
one
share of the Company’s common stock, one Class A Warrant, exercisable to
purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at $1.60, per share, for 18
months from the grant date and one Class B Warrant exercisable to purchase
one
share of the Company’s common stock at $2.05 per share, for 36 months from the
grant date.

SINGLE
TOUCH SYSTEMS INC.
(Formerly
Hosting Site Network, Inc.)
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Reorganization
On
March
20, 2008, Single Touch Systems Inc. (formerly Hosting Site Network, Inc)
“Hosting”, entered into an agreement to merge with Single Touch Interactive,
Inc. (“Interactive”). Interactive is based in Encinitas California, and develops
and licenses software applications utilized by end users in downloading images,
ringtones, games, and other content into their cell phones and other wireless
communication devices.
Under
the
terms of the merger, Hosting will exchange its common shares to shareholders
of
Interactive on a 1 for 1 basis. As of March 31, 2008, Hosting had 8,273,500
shares issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the original merger agreement,
Hosting was required to effectuate a 2.3:1 reverse stock split. Pursuant to
an
amendment to the agreement, Hosting effectuated a forward 3:1 stock split.
In
addition, terms of the merger required Hosting’s president to return 3,913,044
(post split) shares of its common stock owned by him to Hosting for
cancellation. The two stock splits adjusted the outstanding common shares of
Hosting prior to the merger and after the return of the president’s shares to
6,878,511 shares. All existing warrants and other stock conversions on which
Interactive is obligated will be transferred to Hosting on a 1 for 1 basis.
Since Hosting had prior to the recapitalization minimal assets and limited
operations, the merger will be treated for financial reporting purposes as
a
reverse acquisition whereby Interactive’s operations will continue to be
reported as if it had actually been the acquirer.

THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
HOSTING
SITE NETWORK, INC.
Under
Section 242
of
the
Delaware
General Corporation Law
Hosting
Site Network, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue
of
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify as
follows:
First:
That the name of the corporation (the “Corporation”) is Hosting Site Network,
Inc.
Second:
That article FIRST of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended to
read
as follows:
“FIRST:
The name of the corporation is Single Touch Systems Inc.”
Third:
That article FOURTH of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended to
read, in its entirety, as follows:
“FOURTH:
The total number of shares of stock which the corporation shall have authority
to issue is 205,000,000 of which 200,000,000 shares are designated as common
stock, par value $.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of blank check preferred
stock, par value $.0001 per share, none of which has been
designated.
The
preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series or
classes. The Board of Directors is hereby expressly authorized to provide by
resolution or resolutions duly adopted prior to issuance, for the creation
of
each such series and class of preferred stock and to fix the designation and
the
powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations, and restrictions
relating to the shares of each such series. The authority of the Board of
Directors with respect to each series of preferred stock shall include, but
not
be limited to, determining the following:
(a)
the
designation of such series, the number of shares to constitute such series
and
the stated value thereof if different from the par value thereof;
(b)
whether
the shares of such series shall have voting rights, in addition to any voting
rights provided by law, and, if so, the term of such voting rights, which may
be
general or limited;
(c)
the
dividends, if any, payable on such series, whether any such dividends shall
be
cumulative, and, if so, from what dates, the conditions and dates upon which
such dividends shall be payable, and the preference or relation which such
dividends shall bear to the dividends payable on any shares of stock of any
other class or any other series of Preferred Stock;
(d)
whether
the shares of such series shall be subject to redemption by the Corporation,
and, if so, the times, prices and other conditions of such
redemption;
(e)
the
amount or amounts payable upon shares of such series upon, and the rights of
the
holders of such series in, the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution
or winding up, or upon any distribution of the assets, of the
Corporation;
(f)
whether
the shares of such series shall be subject to the operation of a retirement
or
sinking fund and, if so, the extent to and manner in which any such retirement
or sinking fund shall be applied to the purchase or redemption of the shares
of
such series for retirement or other Corporation purposes and the terms and
provisions relating to the operation thereof;
(g)
whether
the shares of such series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares
of stock of any other class or any other series of Preferred Stock or any other
securities and, if so, the price or prices or the rate or rates of conversion
or
exchange and the method, if any, of adjusting the same, and any other terms
and
conditions of conversion or exchange;
(h)
the
conditions or restrictions, if any, upon the creation of indebtedness of the
Corporation or upon the issue of any additional stock, including additional
shares of such series or of any other series of Preferred Stock or of any other
class; and
(i)
any
other
powers, preferences and relative, participating, options and other special
rights, and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions, thereof.
The
powers, preferences and relative, participating optional and other special
rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations
or
restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series
at any time outstanding. All shares of any one series of Preferred Stock shall
be identical in all respects with all other shares of such series, except that
shares of any one series issued at different times may differ as to the dates
from which dividends thereof shall be cumulative.
Each
issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $.001 per share (“Old
Common Stock”), outstanding as of the close of business on May 14, 2008 (the
“Effective Date”) shall automatically, without any action on the part of the
holder of the Old Common Stock, be converted into .4347826 of a share of Common
Stock, par value $.001 per share (“New Common Stock”). Immediately following the
reverse split, the aggregate number of shares of New Common Stock held by each
holder of New Common Stock shall be calculated. Thereafter, all such holders
otherwise entitled to receive a fractional share of New Common Stock will
receive a full share of New Common Stock in lieu of such fractional share as
each fractional share will be rounded up and become a whole share. Each holder
of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Date
represented outstanding shares of Old Common Stock (the “Old Certificates”)
shall, from and after the Effective Date, be entitled to receive a certificate
or certificates (the “New Certificates”) representing the shares of New Common
Stock into which the shares of Old Common Stock formerly represented by such
Old
Certificates are converted under the terms hereof. Prior to the Effective Date,
there are 8,273,500 shares of Old Common Stock issued and outstanding shares.
Following the effectuation of the reverse stock split on the Effective Date,
there will be approximately 3,597,174 issued and outstanding shares of New
Common Stock. The 8,273,500 shares of Old Common Stock are hereby changed into
approximately 3,597,174 shares of New Common Stock at the rate of one share
of
New Common Stock for every 2.3 shares of Old Common Stock.”
Fourth:
That thereafter, pursuant to resolutions of the board of directors, the
amendments were authorized by resolutions adopted by the affirmative vote of
the
stockholders holding not less than the necessary number of shares required
by
written consent to so authorize, all in accordance with Section 228 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
Fifth:
That said amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation were duly adopted
in
accordance with Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware.
Sixth:
That the capital of the corporation shall not be reduced under or by reason
of
said amendments.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Certificate as of the

CLASS
A
WARRANT
FOR THE PURCHASE OF
SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK
OF
SINGLE
TOUCH SYSTEMS INC.
(A
Delaware corporation)
FOR
VALUE
RECEIVED, Single Touch Systems Inc. ("Company"), hereby certifies that
__________ or his, her or its registered assigns ("Holder"), is entitled,
subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at any
time
or from time to time during the 18-month period commencing on July 24, 2008
and
expiring on January 23, 2010, _______ shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value,
of the Company ("Common Stock"), at purchase price of $
1.60
per
share. The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant, and the purchase price per share, each as adjusted from time to time
pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant, are hereinafter referred to as
the
"Warrant Shares" and the "Exercise Price," respectively.
1.
Exercise
1.1
Procedure
for Exercise
.
This
Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender
of
this Warrant (with the Notice of Exercise Form attached hereto duly executed
by
such Holder) at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office
or
agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full, in lawful
money of the United States, of an amount equal to the then applicable Exercise
Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased upon
such
exercise.
1.2
Date
of Exercise
.
Each
exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately
prior
to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been
surrendered to the Company. At such time, the person or persons in whose name
or
names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise
shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant
Shares represented by such certificates.
1.3
Issuance
of Certificate
.
As soon
as practicable after the exercise of the purchase right represented by this
Warrant, the Company at its expense will use its best efforts to cause to be
issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Holder, or, subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, to such other individual or entity as such Holder (upon
payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:
(i)
a
certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Warrant Shares
to
which such Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise (subject to Section
3
hereof), and
(ii)
in
case
such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof)
of like tenor, stating on the face or faces thereof the number of shares
currently stated on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares
purchased by the Holder upon such exercise as provided in subsection 1.1 above.
2.
Adjustments
.
2.1
Split,
Subdivision or Combination of Shares
.
If the
outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock at any time while this Warrant
remains outstanding and unexpired shall be subdivided or split into a greater
number of shares, or a dividend in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of
Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
or at the record date of such dividend shall, simultaneously with the
effectiveness of such subdivision or split or immediately after the record
date
of such dividend (as the case may be), shall be proportionately decreased.
If
the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or reverse-split into
a
smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such
combination or reverse split shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of
such combination or reverse split, be proportionately increased. When any
adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price, the number of shares
of
Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed
to
the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment,
multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment,
by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
2.2
Reclassification
Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger
.
In the
case of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par
value or a subdivision or combination as provided for in subsection 2.1 above),
or any reorganization, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation (other than a merger or reorganization with respect to
which
the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification of the Common Stock), or a transfer of all or substantially
all
of the assets of the Company, or the payment of a liquidating distribution
then,
as part of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale or liquidating distribution, lawful provision shall be made so that the
Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive upon the
exercise hereof, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities
or
property which such Holder would have been entitled to receive if, immediately
prior to any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale
or liquidating distribution, as the case may be, such Holder had held the number
of shares of Common Stock which were then purchasable upon the exercise of
this
Warrant. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as reasonably determined
by
the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of
the
provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter
of the Holder of this Warrant such that the provisions set forth in this Section
2 (including provisions with respect to the Exercise Price) shall thereafter
be
applicable, as nearly as is reasonably practicable, in relation to any shares
of
stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise
of this Warrant.
2.3
Price
Adjustment
. No
adjustment in the per share Exercise Price shall be required unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease in the Exercise Price of at
least $0.01; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this
paragraph are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into
account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 2
shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as
the
case may be.
2.4
No
Impairment
. The
Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through
any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue
or
sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed
hereunder by the Company but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 2 and in the taking of all
such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect against
impairment of the rights of the Holder of this Warrant to adjustments in the
Exercise Price.
2.5
Notice
of Adjustment
. Upon
any adjustment of the Exercise Price or extension of the Warrant exercise
period, the Company shall forthwith give written notice thereto to the Holder
of
this Warrant describing the event requiring the adjustment, stating the adjusted
Exercise Price and the adjusted number of shares purchasable upon the exercise
hereof resulting from such event, and setting forth in reasonable detail the
method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
3.
Fractional
Shares
. The
Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock
upon
exercise. If any fractions of a share would, but for this Section 3, be issuable
upon any exercise, in lieu of such fractional share the Company shall round
up
or down to the nearest whole number.
4.
Limitation
on Sales
. Each
holder of this Warrant acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares,
as
of the date of original issuance of this Warrant, have not been registered
under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act"), and agrees not to sell, pledge,
distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or
any
Warrant Shares issued upon its exercise in the absence of (a) an effective
registration statement under the Act as to this Warrant or such Warrant Shares
or (b) an opinion of counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Company, that such
registration and qualification are not required. The Warrant Shares issued
upon
exercise thereof shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:
THE
SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND
MAY
NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED
UNLESS
(i) THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING THE SHARES UNDER
THE
ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (ii) THE COMPANY FIRST RECEIVES
AN OPINION FROM AN ATTORNEY, REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, STATING
THAT
THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND UNDER ALL
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
5.
Registration
Rights
.
Pursuant to the term of the convertible note that was converted into units
consisting, in part, of this Class A Warrant, and subject to Securities Act

to
file a registration statement within 60 days of the date of this Class A Warrant
to register the Common Stock for resale.
6.
Notices
of Record Date

In
case: (i) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock
(or
other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this
Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend
or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase
any
shares of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right,
or
(ii) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of
the
capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with
or
into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the surviving entity), or any transfer of all or substantially all
of
the assets of the Company, or (iii) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company, then, and in each such case, the
Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder of this Warrant a notice
specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date on which a record is to be taken
for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount
and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective
date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the
time,
if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or
such other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of
this
Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such
other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least
ten
(10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified
in
such notice, provided that the failure to mail such notice shall not affect
the
legality or validity of any such action.
7.
Reservation
of Stock
. The
Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and
delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of Common Stock and
other stock, securities and property, as from time to time shall be issuable
upon the exercise of this Warrant.
8.

. Upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or
destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably
required) in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or (in the case
of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company
will

or from time to time during the 36-month period commencing on July 24, 2008
and
expiring on July 23, 2011, _______ shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value,
of
the Company ("Common Stock"), at purchase price of $2.05 per share. The number
of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, and the
purchase price per share, each as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the
provisions of this Warrant, are hereinafter referred to as the "Warrant Shares"
and the "Exercise Price," respectively.
17.
Exercise
17.1
Procedure
for Exercise
.
This
Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender
of
this Warrant (with the Notice of Exercise Form attached hereto duly executed
by
such Holder) at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office
or
agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full, in lawful
money of the United States, of an amount equal to the then applicable Exercise
Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased upon
such
exercise.
17.2
Date
of Exercise
.
Each
exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately
prior
to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been
surrendered to the Company. At such time, the person or persons in whose name
or
names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise
shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant
Shares represented by such certificates.
17.3
Issuance
of Certificate
.
As soon
as practicable after the exercise of the purchase right represented by this
Warrant, the Company at its expense will use its best efforts to cause to be
issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Holder, or, subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, to such other individual or entity as such Holder (upon
payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:
(i)
a
certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Warrant Shares
to
which such Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise (subject to Section
3
hereof), and
(ii)
in
case
such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof)
of like tenor, stating on the face or faces thereof the number of shares
currently stated on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares
purchased by the Holder upon such exercise as provided in subsection 1.1 above.
18.
Adjustments
.
18.1
Split,
Subdivision or Combination of Shares
.
If the
outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock at any time while this Warrant
remains outstanding and unexpired shall be subdivided or split into a greater
number of shares, or a dividend in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of
Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
or at the record date of such dividend shall, simultaneously with the
effectiveness of such subdivision or split or immediately after the record
date
of such dividend (as the case may be), shall be proportionately decreased.
If
the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or reverse-split into
a
smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such
combination or reverse split shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of
such combination or reverse split, be proportionately increased. When any
adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price, the number of shares
of
Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed
to
the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment,
multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment,
by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
18.2
Reclassification
Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger
.
In the
case of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par
value or a subdivision or combination as provided for in subsection 2.1 above),
or any reorganization, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation (other than a merger or reorganization with respect to
which
the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification of the Common Stock), or a transfer of all or substantially
all
of the assets of the Company, or the payment of a liquidating distribution
then,
as part of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale or liquidating distribution, lawful provision shall be made so that the
Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive upon the
exercise hereof, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities
or
property which such Holder would have been entitled to receive if, immediately
prior to any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale
or liquidating distribution, as the case may be, such Holder had held the number
of shares of Common Stock which were then purchasable upon the exercise of
this
Warrant. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as reasonably determined
by
the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of
the
provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter
of the Holder of this Warrant such that the provisions set forth in this Section
2 (including provisions with respect to the Exercise Price) shall thereafter
be
applicable, as nearly as is reasonably practicable, in relation to any shares
of
stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise
of this Warrant.
18.3
Price
Adjustment
. No
adjustment in the per share Exercise Price shall be required unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease in the Exercise Price of at
least $0.01; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this
paragraph are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into
account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 2
shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as
the
case may be.
18.4
No
Impairment
. The
Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through
any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue
or
sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed
hereunder by the Company but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 2 and in the taking of all
such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect against
impairment of the rights of the Holder of this Warrant to adjustments in the
Exercise Price.
18.5
Notice
of Adjustment
. Upon
any adjustment of the Exercise Price or extension of the Warrant exercise
period, the Company shall forthwith give written notice thereto to the Holder
of
this Warrant describing the event requiring the adjustment, stating the adjusted
Exercise Price and the adjusted number of shares purchasable upon the exercise
hereof resulting from such event, and setting forth in reasonable detail the
method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
19.
Fractional
Shares
. The
Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock
upon
exercise. If any fractions of a share would, but for this Section 3, be issuable
upon any exercise, in lieu of such fractional share the Company shall round
up
or down to the nearest whole number.
20.
Limitation
on Sales
. Each
holder of this Warrant acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares,
as
of the date of original issuance of this Warrant, have not been registered
under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act"), and agrees not to sell, pledge,
distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or
any
Warrant Shares issued upon its exercise in the absence of (a) an effective
registration statement under the Act as to this Warrant or such Warrant Shares
or (b) an opinion of counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Company, that such
registration and qualification are not required. The Warrant Shares issued
upon
exercise thereof shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:

NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED
UNLESS
(i) THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING THE SHARES UNDER
THE
ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (ii) THE COMPANY FIRST RECEIVES
AN OPINION FROM AN ATTORNEY, REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, STATING

of
the assets of the Company, or (iii) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company, then, and in each such case, the
Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder of this Warrant a notice

and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective
date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the
time,
if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or
such other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of
this
Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such
other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least
ten
(10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified
in
such notice, provided that the failure to mail such notice shall not affect
the
legality or validity of any such action.

for
such number of shares of Common Stock represented by this Warrant which have
not

exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately
prior
to the close of business on the business day on which this Warrant is

Company will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder,
or
as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates for the number of fully
paid and nonassessable full shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall
be
entitled on such exercise.
5.
Adjustments
to Conversion Price.
The
number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other
securities which may be) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the
Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon happening
of certain events, as follows:
5.1
Dividends,
Distributions, Stock Splits or Combinations.
If the
Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date hereof (a) make
or
issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional
shares of common or preferred stock (as the case my be), (b) subdivide its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common
Stock or (c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Purchase
Price
then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant
shall be appropriately adjusted.
5.2
Reclassification
or Reorganization.
If the
Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities which may be) issuable
upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed into the same or different
number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital
reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than subdivision or
combination of shares or stock dividend provided for in Section 5.1 above,
or a
reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets provided for in Section
5.3 below, then and in each event the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon
the exercise of the Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification
or
other change, to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock (or
any
shares of stock or other securities which may be) issuable upon the exercise
of
this Warrant would have received if this Warrant had been exercised immediately
prior to such reorganization, reclassification or other change, subject to
further adjustments as provided herein.
5.3
Merger,
Consolidation or sale of Assets.
If at
any time or from time to time there shall be a capital reorganization of the
common Stock (other than a subdivision, merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of
the
Company’s assets and properties to any other person or entity (collectively, a
“Sale Transaction”), then as a part of such Sale Transaction, provision shall be
made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon the
exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of stock or other securities
or
property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such
Sale Transaction, to which a holder of the number of shares of common Stock
(or
any shares of stock or other securities which may be) issuable upon the exercise
of this Warrant would have received if this Warrant had been exercised
immediately prior to such Sale Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in
the event the acquiring entity in a Sale Transaction does not agree to assume
this Warrant, then this Warrant shall expire immediately prior to such Sale
Transaction. The Company shall notify the Holder of a Sale Transaction at least
ten (10) days prior to the closing of such Sale Transaction, and if the Company
fails to deliver such written notice, then notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not expire until the Company
complies with such notice provisions. If such closing does not take place,
the
Company shall promptly notify the Holder that such proposed transaction has
been
terminated, and the Holder may rescind any exercise of its purchase rights
promptly after such notice of termination if the exercise of the Warrant
occurred after the Company notified the Holder of the Sale
Transaction.
5.4
Notice
of Adjustments and Record Dates.
The
company shall promptly notify the holder in writing of each adjustment or
readjustment of the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock
(or
any shares of stock or other securities which may be) issuable upon the exercise
of the Warrant. Such notice shall state the adjustment or readjustment and
show
in reasonable detail the facts on which that adjustment or readjustment is
based. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders
of
Common Stock for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled
to receive any dividend or other distribution, the Company shall notify Holder
in writing of such record date at least ten (10) days prior to the date
specified therein.
5.5
When
Adjustments To Be Made.
All
calculations under this Section 5.5 shall be made to the nearest cent. For
the
purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred
at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.
5.6
Certain
Other Events.
If any
change in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company or any other event occurs
as to which the provisions of this Section 5 are not strictly applicable or
if
strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder
of the Warrant in accordance with such provision, then the Board of Directors
of
the Company shall make an adjustment in the number and class of shares available
under the rights as aforesaid. The adjustment shall be such as will give the
Holder of the Warrant upon exercise for the same aggregate Purchase Price the
total number, class and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the
Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold
such shares until after the event requiring adjustment.
6.
Replacement
of Warrants.
On
receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of
any
such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of any indemnity
agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the company or, in
the
case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such Warrant
the
Company at its expense will execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu thereof,
a new Warrant of like tenor.
7.
No
Rights or Liability as a Shareholder.
This
Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as
a
shareholder of the Company. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative
action by the Holder to purchase common Stock, and no enumeration herein of
the
rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the
Holder as a shareholder of the Company.
8.
Market
Standoff.
If
requested by the Company and an underwriter of common stock of the Company,
the
Holder shall not, without the consent of such underwriter, sell or otherwise
transfer or dispose of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company
held by such Holder (other than those included in the registration) for a period
specified by the underwriters not to exceed on hundred eighty (180) days
(“Restricted Period”) following the effective date of the initial registration
statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The
Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares (or
securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of the Restricted
Period.
Transfer
of Warrant.
This Warrant is not transferable or assignable by Holder without the written
consent of the Company that can be withheld at its sole discretion, and is
further subject to the requirement (i) that any such assignment or transfer
be,
in the reasonable opinion of the Company’s counsel, in full compliance with
applicable state and federal securities laws. All covenants, agreements
and undertakings in the Warrant by or on behalf of any of the parties shall
bind
and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties
whether so expressed or not.
Amendments
and Waivers.
Any term
of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this
Agreement may be waived (either generally or on a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the company
and the Holder.

the
laws of the State of Nevada.

FOR
VALUE RECEIVED,
the
undersigned, Single Touch Interactive, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
"Obligor"), hereby promises to pay to the order of Anthony and Nicole Macaluso,
P.O. Box 7034 Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067 (the "Holder"), the principal sum of
Two
Million Three Hundred Thousand Five Hundred Eleven Dollars and Sixty Four Cents
($2,319,511.64) payable as set forth below. The Obligor also promises to pay
to
the order of the Holder interest on the principal amount hereof at a rate of
8%
per annum, which interest shall be payable monthly. Interest shall be calculated
on the basis of the year of 365 days and for the number of days actually
elapsed. The payments of principal and interest hereunder shall be made in
coin
or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment shall
be legal tender therein for the payment of public and private
debts.
This
Note
shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:
1.
Payments
.
Subject
to Section 2 hereof, all principal shall be due on demand of the Holder or
hereunder in one (1) installment on July 15, 2010 (the "Maturity Date"). In
the
event that any payment to be made hereunder shall be or become due on Saturday,
Sunday or any other day which is a legal bank holiday under the laws of the
Unites States, such payment shall be or become due on the next succeeding
business day.
2.
Prepayment
.
The
Obligor and the Holder understand and agree that the principal amount of this
Note may not be prepaid by the Obligor prior to the maturity date without the
express written consent of the Holder. Such consent shall be at the sole
discretion of the holder.
3.
Conversion
.
(a)
This
Note, excluding accrued interest, shall be convertible into shares of the
Obligor's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), at a
conversion price of Eight Cents ($0.08) per share (the "Conversion Price")
at
the option of the Holder in whole or in part at any time. The Holder shall
effect conversions by surrendering to the Company the Note and by delivering
to
the Company a conversion notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
"Holder Conversion Notice"). Each Holder Conversion Notice shall specify the
amount of principal and interest to be converted and the date on which such
conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the Holder
delivers such Holder Conversion Notice by facsimile (the "Conversion Date").
If
the Holder is converting less than the entire principal and interest amount
of
this Note, then the Obligor shall deliver to the Holder a new Note for such
principal and interest amount as has not been converted with two (2) business
days of the Conversion Date. Each Holder Conversion Notice, once given, shall
be
irrevocable.
(b)
Not
later
than five (5) business days after the Conversion Date, the Obligor will deliver,
or will cause to be delivered, to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the
conversion of all or a portion of the principal amount of this Note, including
certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock as equals the
accrued but unpaid interest thereon divided by the Conversion
Price.
(c)
Certificates
representing shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon a conversion hereunder
may bear restrictive legends and may be subject to trading restrictions on
the
stock transfer books of the Obligor. The Obligor shall not be obligated to
issue
certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of
this Note until the Note is delivered for conversion to the Company, or until
the Holder notifies the Obligor that this Note has been lost, stolen or
destroyed and provides a bond and other supporting documentation reasonably
satisfactory to the Obligor (or other adequate security reasonably acceptable
to
the Obligor).
(d)
The
Obligor covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out
of
its authorized and unissued Common Stock, or its authorized and issued Common
Stock held in its treasury, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion
of this Note and payment of interest on this Note, each as herein provided,
free
from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons
other than the Holder, such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to
the
number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of
the
principal amount of this Note. The Obligor covenants that all shares of Common
Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issuance thereof, be duly and
validly authorized, issued and fully paid, and nonassessable.
(e)
Upon
a
conversion hereunder the Obligor shall not be required to issue stock
certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may either
make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the
Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share of Common
Stock.
(f)
The
issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this
Note
shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar
taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such
certificate, provided that the Obligor shall not be required to pay any tax
that
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery
of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the
original Holder.
(g)
Any
and
all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holder
hereunder, including, without limitation, any Conversion Notice, shall be in
writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized
overnight courier service or sent by certified or registered mail, postage
prepaid, addressed to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer of the
Obligor at the facsimile telephone number or address of the principal place
of

deliveries to be provided by the Obligor hereunder shall be in writing and
delivered personally, by facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized overnight
courier service or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to the Holder at the facsimile telephone number or address of the
Holder appearing on the books of the Obligor, or if no such facsimile telephone
number or address appears, at the principal place of business of the Holder.
Any

and
effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if delivered via
facsimile prior to 4:30 p.m. (Pacific Time) on a business day, (ii) the business
day after the date of transmission, if delivered via facsimile later than 4:30

exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided

amount of principal and interest to be converted and the date on which such
conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the Holder
delivers such Holder Conversion Notice by facsimile (the "Conversion Date").
If
the Holder is converting less than the entire principal and interest amount
of
this Note, then the Obligor shall deliver to the Holder a new Note for such
principal and interest amount as has not been converted with two (2) business
days of the Conversion Date. Each Holder Conversion Notice, once given, shall
be
irrevocable.
(b)
Not
later
than five (5) business days after the Conversion Date, the Obligor will deliver,
or will cause to be delivered, to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the
conversion of all or a portion of the principal amount of this Note, including
certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock as equals the
accrued but unpaid interest thereon divided by the Conversion
Price.
(c)
Certificates
representing shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon a conversion hereunder
may bear restrictive legends and may be subject to trading restrictions on
the
stock transfer books of the Obligor. The Obligor shall not be obligated to
issue
certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of
this Note until the Note is delivered for conversion to the Company, or until
the Holder notifies the Obligor that this Note has been lost, stolen or
destroyed and provides a bond and other supporting documentation reasonably
satisfactory to the Obligor (or other adequate security reasonably acceptable
to
the Obligor).
(d)
The
Obligor covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out
of
its authorized and unissued Common Stock, or its authorized and issued Common
Stock held in its treasury, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion
of this Note and payment of interest on this Note, each as herein provided,
free
from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons
other than the Holder, such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to
the
number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of
the
principal amount of this Note. The Obligor covenants that all shares of Common
Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issuance thereof, be duly and
validly authorized, issued and fully paid, and nonassessable.
(e)
Upon
a
conversion hereunder the Obligor shall not be required to issue stock
certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may either
make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the
Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share of Common
Stock.
(f)
The
issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this
Note
shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar
taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such
certificate, provided that the Obligor shall not be required to pay any tax
that
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery
of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the
original Holder.
(g)
Any
and
all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holder
hereunder, including, without limitation, any Conversion Notice, shall be in
writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized
overnight courier service or sent by certified or registered mail, postage
prepaid, addressed to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer of the
Obligor at the facsimile telephone number or address of the principal place
of

deliveries to be provided by the Obligor hereunder shall be in writing and
delivered personally, by facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized overnight
courier service or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to the Holder at the facsimile telephone number or address of the
Holder appearing on the books of the Obligor, or if no such facsimile telephone
number or address appears, at the principal place of business of the Holder.
Any

and
effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if delivered via
facsimile prior to 4:30 p.m. (Pacific Time) on a business day, (ii) the business

4.

failure or delay by the Holder in exercising any right, power or privilege
under

exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided
shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by
law.

waiver of any rights by the Holder.

EXHIBIT
10.8
ESCROW
AGREEMENT
This
Escrow Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of July 24, 2008, by and
among Single Touch Systems Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), Randall
Lanham (the “Indemnification Representative”) and Gottbetter & Partners, LLP
(the “Escrow Agent”).
WHEREAS,
the Parent has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization
(the “Merger Agreement”) with Single Touch Interactive, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the “Company”), (i) pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Parent will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving
the
merger and (ii) as a result of which the Company will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Parent;
WHEREAS,
the Merger Agreement provides that an escrow account will be established to
secure the indemnification obligations of the stockholders of the Company as
of
the Closing Date, as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement (collectively,
the “Indemnifying Stockholders”), to the Parent; and
WHEREAS,
the parties hereto desire to establish the terms and conditions pursuant to
which such escrow account will be established and maintained.
NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Consent
of Company Stockholders
.
The
Indemnifying Stockholders have, either by virtue of their approval of the Merger
Agreement or through the execution of an instrument to such effect, consented
to: (a) the establishment of this escrow to secure the Indemnifying
Stockholders’ indemnification obligations under Article 6 of the Merger
Agreement in the manner set forth herein, (b) the appointment of the
Indemnification Representative as their representative for purposes of this
Agreement and as attorney-in-fact and agent for and on behalf of each
Indemnifying Stockholder, and the taking by the Indemnification Representative
of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted
to
be taken or made by him under this Agreement and (c) all of the other
terms, conditions and limitations in this Agreement.
Escrow
and Indemnification
.
Escrow
of Shares
.
Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Parent shall deposit
with the Escrow Agent certificates representing 1,445,912 shares of common
stock
of the Parent, as determined pursuant to the Merger Agreement, issued in the
name of the Escrow Agent or its nominee. The Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges
receipt of such stock certificates. The shares deposited with the Escrow Agent
pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2(a) are referred to herein
as the “Escrow Shares.” The Escrow Shares shall be held as a trust fund and
shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other
judicial process of any creditor of any party hereto. The Escrow Agent agrees
to
hold the Escrow Shares in an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”), subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Indemnification
.
The
Indemnifying Stockholders have agreed in Section 6.1 of the Merger Agreement
to
indemnify and hold harmless the Parent from and against certain Damages (as
defined in Section 6.1 of the Merger Agreement). The Escrow Shares shall be
(i)
security for such indemnity obligation of the Indemnifying Stockholders, subject
to the limitations, and in the manner provided, in this Agreement and the Merger
Agreement and (ii) shall be the exclusive means for the Parent to collect any
Damages with respect to which the Parent is entitled to indemnification under
Article VI of the Merger Agreement.
Dividends,
Etc.
Any
securities distributed in respect of or in exchange for any of the Escrow
Shares, whether by way of stock dividends, stock splits or otherwise, shall
be
issued in the name of the Escrow Agent or its nominee and shall be delivered
to
the Escrow Agent, who shall hold such securities in the Escrow Account. Such
securities shall be considered Escrow Shares for purposes hereof. Any cash
dividends or property (other than securities) distributed in respect of the
Escrow Shares shall promptly be distributed by the Escrow Agent to the
Indemnifying Stockholders in accordance with Section 3(c) in direct
proportion to the number of Escrow Shares delivered by each Indemnifying
Stockholder.
Voting
of Shares
.
The
Indemnification Representative shall have the right, in his sole discretion,
on
behalf of the Indemnifying Stockholders, to direct the Escrow Agent in writing
as to the exercise of any voting rights pertaining to the Escrow Shares, and
the
Escrow Agent shall comply with any such written instructions. In the absence
of
such instructions, the Escrow Agent shall not vote any of the Escrow Shares.
The
Indemnification Representative shall have no obligation to solicit consents
or
proxies from the Indemnifying Stockholders for purposes of any such
vote.
Transferability
.
The
respective interests of the Indemnifying Stockholders in the Escrow Shares
shall
not be assignable or transferable, other than by operation of law. Notice of
any
such assignment or transfer by operation of law shall be given to the Escrow
Agent and the Parent, and no such assignment or transfer shall be valid until
such notice is given.
Distribution
of Escrow Shares
.
The
Escrow Agent shall distribute the Escrow Shares only in accordance with (i)
a
written instrument delivered to the Escrow Agent that is executed by both the
Parent and the Indemnification Representatives and that instructs the Escrow
Agent as to the distribution of some or all of the Escrow Shares, (ii) an
order of a court of competent jurisdiction, a copy of which is delivered to
the
Escrow Agent by either the Parent or the Indemnification Representative, that
instructs the Escrow Agent as to the distribution of some or all of the Escrow
Shares, or (iii) the provisions of Section 3(b) hereof.
Within
five business days after July 24, 2009 (the “Termination Date”), the Escrow
Agent shall, automatically, without any notice required, distribute to the
Indemnifying Stockholders all of the Escrow Shares then held in escrow,
registered in the names of the Indemnifying Stockholders in direct proportion
to
the number of Escrow Shares delivered by each Indemnifying Stockholder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Parent has previously delivered to the
Escrow Agent a copy of a Claim Notice (as hereinafter defined) and the Escrow
Agent has not received written notice of the resolution of the claim covered
thereby, or if the Parent has previously delivered to the Escrow Agent a copy
of
an Expected Claim Notice (as hereinafter defined) and the Escrow Agent has
not
received written notice of the resolution of the anticipated claim covered
thereby, the Escrow Agent shall retain in escrow after the Termination Date
such
number of Escrow Shares as have a Value (as defined in Section 4 below)
equal to the Claimed Amount (as hereinafter defined) covered by such Claim
Notice or equal to the estimated amount of Damages set forth in such Expected
Claim Notice, as the case may be. Any Escrow Shares so retained in escrow shall
be distributed only in accordance with the terms of clauses (i) or (ii) of
Section 3(a) hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a Claim Notice means a
written notification under the Merger Agreement given by the Parent to the
Indemnifying Stockholders which contains (i) a description and the amount (the
“Claimed Amount”) of any Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred
by the Parent, (ii) a statement that the Parent is entitled to indemnification
under Article 6 of the Merger Agreement for such Damages and a reasonable
explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment in the amount
of such Damages. For purposes of this Agreement, an Expected Claim Notice means
a notice delivered pursuant to the Merger Agreement by the Parent to an
Indemnifying Stockholder, before expiration of a representation or warranty,
to
the effect that, as a result a legal proceeding instituted by or written claim
made by a third party, the Parent reasonably expects to incur Damages as a
result of a breach of such representation or warranty.
Distributions
to the Indemnifying Stockholders shall be made by mailing stock certificates
to
such holders at their respective addresses shown on the books of the Parent
(or
such other address as may be provided in writing to the Escrow Agent by any
such
holder). No fractional Escrow Shares shall be distributed to Indemnifying
Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement. Instead, the number of shares that
each
Indemnifying Stockholder shall receive shall be rounded up or down to the
nearest whole number (provided that the Indemnification Representatives shall
have the authority to effect such rounding in such a manner that the total
number of whole Escrow Shares to be distributed equals the number of Escrow
Shares then held in the Escrow Account).
Valuation
of Escrow Shares
.
For
purposes of this Agreement, the “Value” of any Escrow Shares shall be $1.25 per
share, multiplied by the number of such Escrow Shares.
Fees
and Expenses of Escrow Agent
.
The
Parent shall pay the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent for the services
to
be rendered by the Escrow Agent hereunder, which fees shall not exceed $1,000
in
the aggregate.
Limitation
of Escrow Agent’s Liability
.
The
Escrow Agent shall incur no liability with respect to any action taken or
suffered by it in reliance upon any notice, direction, instruction, consent,
statement or other documents believed by it to be genuine and duly authorized,
nor for other action or inaction except its own willful misconduct or gross
negligence. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement. In all questions arising under this Agreement,
the Escrow Agent may rely on the advice of counsel, and the Escrow Agent shall
not be liable to anyone for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith
by
the Escrow Agent based on such advice. The Escrow Agent shall not be required
to
take any action hereunder involving any expense unless the payment of such
expense is made or provided for in a manner reasonably satisfactory to it.
In no
event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for indirect, punitive, special or
consequential damages.
The
Parent and the Indemnifying Stockholders agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent
for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred
without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Escrow Agent,
arising out of or in connection with its carrying out of its duties hereunder.
The Parent, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Stockholders, on the other
hand, shall each be liable for one-half of such amounts.
Liability
and Authority of Indemnification Representatives; Successors and
Assignees
.
The
Indemnification Representative shall not incur any liability to the Indemnifying
Stockholders with respect to any action taken or suffered by him in reliance
upon any note, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other documents
believed by him to be genuinely and duly authorized, nor for other action or
inaction except his own willful misconduct or gross negligence. The
Indemnification Representative may, in all questions arising under this
Agreement, rely on the advice of counsel and the Indemnification Representative
shall not be liable to the Indemnifying Stockholders for anything done, omitted
or suffered in good faith by the Indemnification Representative based on such
advice.
In
the
event of the death or permanent disability of the Indemnification
Representative, or his resignation as an Indemnification Representative, a
successor Indemnification Representative shall be elected by a majority vote
of
the Indemnifying Stockholders, with each such Indemnifying Stockholder (or
his,
her or its successors or assigns) to be given a vote equal to the number of
votes represented by the shares of stock of the Company held by such
Indemnifying Stockholder immediately prior to the effective time of the share
purchase under the Merger Agreement. Each successor Indemnification
Representative shall have all of the power, authority, rights and privileges
conferred by this Agreement upon the original Indemnification Representative,
and the term “Indemnification Representative” as used herein shall be deemed to
include each successor Indemnification Representative.
The
Indemnification Representative shall have full power and authority to represent
the Indemnifying Stockholders, and their successors, with respect to all matters
arising under this Agreement and Article 6 of the Merger Agreement and all
actions taken by the Indemnification Representative hereunder or under Article
6
of the Merger Agreement shall be binding upon the Indemnifying Stockholders,
and
their successors, as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by each
of
them. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Indemnification
Representative shall have full power and authority to interpret all of the
terms
and provisions of this Agreement, to compromise any claims asserted hereunder
and to authorize any release of the Escrow Shares to be made with respect
thereto, on behalf of the Indemnifying Stockholders and their successors.
The
Escrow Agent may rely on the Indemnification Representative as the exclusive
agent of the Indemnifying Stockholders under this Agreement and shall incur
no
liability to any party with respect to any action taken or suffered by it in
good faith reliance thereon.
Amounts
Payable by Indemnifying Stockholders
.
The
amounts payable by the Indemnifying Stockholders to the Escrow Agent under
this
Agreement (i.e., the indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 6(b))
shall be payable solely as follows. The Escrow Agent shall notify the
Indemnification Representative of any such amount payable by the Indemnifying
Stockholders as soon as it becomes aware that any such amount is payable, with
a
copy of such notice to the Parent. On the sixth business day after the delivery
of such notice, the Escrow Agent shall sell such number of Escrow Shares (up
to
the number of Escrow Shares then available in the Escrow Account), subject
to
compliance with all applicable securities laws, as is necessary to raise such
amount, and shall be entitled to apply the proceeds of such sale in satisfaction
of such indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Stockholders; provided
that if the Parent delivers to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the
Indemnification Representative), within five business days after delivery of
such notice by the Indemnification Representative, a written notice contesting
the legitimacy or reasonableness of such amount, then the Escrow Agent shall
not
sell Escrow Shares to raise the disputed portion of such claimed amount except
in accordance with the terms of clauses (i) or (ii) of
Section 3(a).
Termination
.
This
Agreement shall terminate upon the distribution by the Escrow Agent of all
of
the Escrow Shares in accordance with this Agreement; provided that the
provisions of Sections 6 and 7 shall survive such termination.
Notices
.
All
notices, instructions and other communications given hereunder or in connection
herewith shall be in writing. Any such notice, instruction or communication
shall be sent either (i) by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, or (ii) via a reputable nationwide overnight

business days after it is sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt

nationwide overnight courier service.

obligate the Company to make further grants to the Outside Director at any
time
thereafter or to retain any person as a director for any period of
time.
7.

Rights:

Stock
Appreciation Right shall entitle the Participant, upon exercise of the Stock
Appreciation Right, to receive in exchange an amount equal to the excess of

the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of Company Stock covered by the
surrendered Stock Appreciation Right over (ii) the Fair Market Value of Company
Stock on the Date of Grant of the Stock Appreciation Right. The Committee may
limit the amount that the Participant will be entitled to receive upon exercise
of a Stock Appreciation Right.

Option is exercisable, and a Stock Appreciation Right may not be exercisable
in
any event more than 10 years after the Date of Grant.

respect to the sale of Company Stock or a broker loan secured by the Company
Stock, (iii) by such other consideration as may be approved by the Committee

representation or agreement of the individual or entity exercising the Option
to
the Company to the effect that such shares are being acquired for investment
purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and such other
documentation as may be required by the Company, unless in the opinion of

necessary to comply with any such act.

Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Company Stock until the shares
have been listed on each securities exchange or market on which the Company
Stock may then be listed or until there has been qualification under or

provision of the Plan by the Committee shall be final and conclusive as to
any
Participant or Beneficiary.

Committee shall have the power to amend the terms and conditions of previously
granted Awards so long as the terms as amended are consistent with the terms
of
the Plan and provided that the consent of the Participant is obtained with
respect to any amendment that would be detrimental to him or her, except that
such consent will not be required if such amendment is for the purpose of
complying with Rule 16b-3 or any requirement of the Code or of other securities
laws applicable to the Award.
(c)
The
Committee shall have the power and complete discretion (i) to delegate to any
individual, or to any group of individuals employed by the Company or any
Affiliate, the authority to grant Awards under the Plan and (ii) to determine

Section 162(m) or 409A, or any other applicable securities or tax
law.
(d)

a
subsidiary or Affiliate, or other change in the Company's capital stock
(including, but not limited to, the creation or issuance to shareholders
generally of rights, options, or warrants for the purchase of common stock
or
preferred stock of the Company) subsequent to July 31, 2008, the aggregate

shares or securities which may be delivered under the Plan under Sections 3(a),
3(b), or 8, the per share exercise price of Options, the terms of Awards, and
other relevant provisions shall be proportionately and appropriately adjusted
by
the Committee in its discretion, and the determination of the Committee shall
be
binding on all persons. If the adjustment would produce fractional shares with
respect to any unexercised Option, the Committee may adjust appropriately and
in
a nondiscriminatory manner the number of shares covered by the Option so as
to
eliminate the fractional shares.
(b)
Effect
of
Change in Control on Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to the
terms
of any Employment Agreement, the Committee may provide in an Award agreement
for, or in the event of a Change in Control may take such actions as it deems
appropriate to provide for, any one or more of the following:
(i)
Accelerated
Vesting. The Committee may provide for the acceleration of the exercisability
and vesting in connection with a Change in Control of any or all outstanding
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights and shares acquired upon the exercise
thereof upon such conditions, including termination of the Participant's service
prior to, upon, or following such Change in Control, and to such extent as
the
Committee shall determine.
(ii)
Assumption
or Substitution. In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving, continuing,
successor, or purchasing entity or parent thereof, as the case may be (the
"Acquiror"), may, without the consent of any Participant, either assume or
continue the Company's rights and obligations under any or all outstanding
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights or substitute for any or all outstanding
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights substantially equivalent options and
stock
appreciation rights (as the case may be) for the Acquiror's stock. Any Options
or Stock Appreciation Rights which are neither assumed or continued by the
Acquiror in connection with the Change in Control nor exercised as of the time
of consummation of the Change in Control shall terminate and cease to be
outstanding effective as of the time of consummation of the Change in
Control.
(iii)
Cash-Out.
The Committee may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any
Participant, determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each
or
any Option or Stock Appreciation Right outstanding immediately prior to the
Change in Control shall be canceled in exchange for a payment with respect
to
each vested share (and each unvested share, if so determined by the Committee)
of Company Stock subject to such canceled Option or Stock Appreciation Right
in
(i) cash, (ii) stock of the Company or of a corporation or other business entity
a party to the Change in Control, or (iii) other property which, in any such
case, shall be in an amount having a Fair Market Value equal to the excess
of
the Fair Market Value of the consideration to be paid per share of Company
Stock
in the Change in Control over the exercise price per share under such Option
or
Stock Appreciation Right (the "Spread"). In the event such determination is
made
by the Committee, the Spread (reduced by applicable withholding taxes, if any)
shall be paid to Participants in respect of the vested portion (and unvested
portion, if so determined by the Committee) of their canceled Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights as soon as practicable following the date of the Change
in
Control.
(iv)
Effect
of
Change in Control on Restricted Stock Awards. The Committee may provide for
the
acceleration of the vesting of the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award
upon such conditions, including termination of the Participant's services to
the
Company prior to, upon, or following such Change in Control, and to such extent
as the Committee shall determine.
14.
Effective
Date
.

effective date of the Plan is April 22, 2008. The Plan shall be submitted to
the
shareholders of the Company for approval. Until (i) the Plan has been approved
by the Company's shareholders, and (ii) the requirements of any applicable
federal or state securities laws have been met, no Restricted Stock shall be
awarded, and no Option shall be granted or exercisable, that is not contingent
on these events.

sooner terminated by the Board, this Plan shall terminate at the close of
business on April 21, 2018. No Awards shall be made under the Plan after its
termination. The Board may amend or terminate the Plan as it shall deem
advisable; provided, however, that no change shall be made that increases the
total number of shares of Company Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to Awards
granted under the Plan (except pursuant to Section 13), or reduces the minimum
exercise price for Options, or exchanges an Option for another Award, unless
such change is authorized by the shareholders of the Company. Except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, a termination or amendment of the Plan
shall not, without the consent of the Participant, adversely affect a
Participant's rights under an Award previously granted to him or
her.

American
Jobs Creation Act of 2004
.

is
intended that the Plan comply in all applicable respects with Code Sections

regulations, or other guidelines promulgated under either or both statutes
(such
statutes, rulings, regulations and other guidelines to be referred to
collectively herein as "Section 409A"). This Plan, and any amendments thereto,
shall therefore be interpreted and implemented at all times so as to (i) ensure
compliance with Section 409A and (ii) avoid any penalty or early taxation of
any
payment or benefit under the Plan.
(b)
Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Board shall approve and implement
such amendments as it deems necessary or desirable to ensure compliance with
Section 409A and to avoid any penalty or early taxation of any payment or
benefit under this Plan; provided, however, that no change shall be made that
increases the total number of shares of Company Stock reserved for issuance
pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan (except pursuant to Section 14),
or
reduces the minimum exercise price for Options, or exchanges an Option for
another Award, unless such change is authorized by the shareholders of the
Company. No such amendment shall require the consent of any
Participant.
17.

to the extent preempted by applicable federal law, the terms of this Plan shall

of laws rules.

Severability

provision of this Agreement is unenforceable or invalid under any applicable
law
or is so held by an applicable court decision, such unenforceability or
invalidity shall not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole,
and such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish
the
objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of
applicable law or applicable court decisions; provided, however that if the
Parties are unable to so change the provision, then the affected Party may

Each
party will be excused from performance hereunder (except for payment obligations
that are due and payable upon the date of the happening of any force majeure

performance, in whole or in part, as a result of delays caused by the other
party or an act of God, natural disaster, war, civil disturbance, court order,
labor disputes, third-party non-performance, or other cause beyond its
reasonable control and which it could not have prevented by reasonable
precautions, including failures or fluctuations in electric power or
telecommunications equipment, and such non-performance will not be a default
or
a ground for termination hereof.
