FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations and market trends and expectations.  The words “expect,” “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “propose,” “seek” and similar words and variations thereof, when used, are intended to specifically identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB as filed on March 31, 2008 and in each of our Registration Statements on Form S-1, as amended and filed with the SEC on April 1, 2008.  Our plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the continued expansion of our business.

Note 1.  Going Concern and Management’s Plans

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Sona Mobile Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  However, since its inception in November 2003, the Company has generated minimal revenue, has incurred substantial losses and has not generated any positive cash flow from operations.  The Company has relied upon the sale of shares of equity securities and convertible debt to fund its operations.  These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts or classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

At June 30, 2008, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $548,102 held in current and short-term deposit accounts.  Management believes that based on the current level of spending and the current cash receipts, this cash will only be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations until prior to the end of August 2008.   The Company has been actively pursuing potential financing or other transaction options for the Company to raise additional funds.  The Company is in the final stages of negotiating an agreement, which if effected will have a substantial effect on the Company’s business, operations, financial condition and management.   There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully implement its plans to raise additional capital on a timely basis and the Company may have to cease operations, if the Company is unable to raise such additional capital.


Note 2.  Company Background and Description of Business

Sona Mobile, Inc. (“Sona Mobile”) was formed under the laws of the State of Washington in November 2003 for the purpose of acquiring Sona Innovations, Inc. (“Innovations”), which it did in December 2003.  On April 19, 2005, Sona Mobile merged (the "Merger") with and into PerfectData Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“PAC”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PerfectData Corporation, also a Delaware corporation (“PerfectData”).  Under the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 7, 2005, (i) PAC was the surviving company but changed its name to Sona Mobile, Inc.; (ii) the pre-merger shareholders of Sona Mobile received stock in PerfectData representing 80% of the voting power in PAC post-merger; (iii) all of PerfectData’s officers resigned and Sona Mobile’s pre-merger officers were appointed as the new officers of PerfectData; and (iv) four of the five persons serving as directors of PerfectData resigned and the remaining director appointed the three pre-merger directors of Sona Mobile to the PerfectData Board of Directors.  In November 2005, PerfectData changed its name to “Sona Mobile Holdings Corp.”

At the time of the Merger, PerfectData was essentially a shell company that was not engaged in an active business.  Upon completion of the Merger, PerfectData’s only business was the historical business of Sona Mobile and the pre-merger shareholders of Sona Mobile controlled PerfectData.  Accordingly, Sona Mobile was deemed the accounting acquirer and the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition of a public shell and a recapitalization of Sona Mobile.  No goodwill was recorded in connection with the Merger and the costs were accounted for as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital.  The pre-merger financial statements of Sona Mobile are treated as the historical financial statements of the combined companies and its historical stockholders’ equity was adjusted to reflect the new capital structure.

The Company is a software and service provider specializing in value-added services to data-intensive vertical and horizontal market segments including the gaming industry.  The Company develops, markets and sells data application software for gaming and mobile devices which enables secure execution of real time transactions on a flexible platform over wired, cellular or Wi-Fi networks. Our target customer base includes casinos, horse racing tracks and operators, cruise ship operators and casino game manufacturers and suppliers on the gaming side, and corporations that require secure transmissions of large amounts of data in the enterprise and financial services verticals.  Our revenues consist of project, licensing and support fees generated by our flagship products the Sona Gaming System™ (“SGS”) and the Sona Wireless Platform™ (‘‘SWP’’) and related vertical gaming and wireless application software products.  The Company operates as one business segment focused on the development, sale and marketing of client-server application software.

The Company markets its software principally to two large vertical markets.
 
 
Gaming and entertainment. We propose to (i) deliver casino games via our SGS, both wired and wirelessly in designated areas on casino properties; (ii) offer real-time, multiplayer games that accommodate an unlimited number of players; (iii) deliver games on a play-for-free or wagering basis (where permitted by law) on mobile telephone handsets over any carrier network; and (iv) deliver horse and sports wagering applications, where legal, for race and sports books, as well as on-track and off-track wagering, including live streaming video of horse races and other sports events.  We also propose to deliver content via channel partners and content partners, including live streaming television, digital radio, specific theme downloads for mobile phones, media downloads and gaming applications.
 
 
Financial services and enterprise software.  The Company’s products and services extend enterpriseapplications to the wireless arena, such as customer relationship management systems, sales force automation systems, information technology (IT) service desk and business continuity protocols.  One of the Company’s primary focuses in this sales vertical is to develop software for the data-intensive investment banking community and client-facing applications for the retail banking industry.

The Company’s revenues consist primarily of project, licensing and support fees relating to our two platforms the Sona Gaming System™ and the Sona Wireless Platform™.
 
In 2006, in conjunction with the Company’s strategic alliance with Shuffle Master Inc. (“Shuffle Master”) and because of the perceived opportunities for wireless and server-based applications in the gaming and horse racing industries, the primary sales and development focus of the Company was switched towards the gaming industry.  During 2007, the Company perceived that there was a potentially far greater opportunity to develop and sell server-based gaming applications that could be operated in both wired and wireless network environments, or a combination thereof.  The Company continues to focus on the financial services and enterprise market sectors for products, customers and verticals where success has previously been experienced or where significant opportunities are perceived to exist.


Note 3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
 
Basis of Presentation

The financial information contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Sona Mobile Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position at the dates presented and the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.  All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
 
Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations”, and SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. SFAS No. 141 (R) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquire at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No. 141 (R) and SFAS No. 160 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early

adoption is prohibited. We have not yet determined the effect on our consolidated financial statements, if any, upon adoption of SFAS No. 141 (R) or SFAS No. 160.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133".  SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. 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. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161 on its financial statements, and the adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
 (a)           Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sona Mobile and Sona Mobile’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Innovations.  All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 
(b)           Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and term deposits with original maturity dates of less than 90 days.  Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value, and are concentrated in three major financial institutions.

 
(c)           Foreign currency translation

The functional currency is the U.S. dollar as that is the currency in which the Company primarily generates revenue and expends cash.  In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation," assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency have been translated at the period end rate of exchange.  Revenue and expense items have been translated at the transaction date rate.  For Innovations, which uses its local currency (Canadian dollar) as the functional currency, the resulting translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income, as the Company is a foreign self-sustaining operation.  Other gains or losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are reflected in earnings.

 
(d)           Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of three to five years.

 
(e)           Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.  These estimates are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

 
(f)           Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed periodically for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable

income.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  The income tax provision is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return.  FIN 48 also provides guidance related to, among other things, classification, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and disclosure requirements.

The Company currently has a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset and has not recognized any benefits from tax positions in earnings.  Accordingly, the adoption of FIN 48 did not have an impact on the financial statements for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.  

The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes on the financial statements of future periods in which the Company must record an income tax liability.  Since the Company did not record a liability at June 30, 2008, there was no impact to the effective tax rate.  The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and several state jurisdictions, as well as in Canada and the Ontario provincial tax jurisdiction.  The Company does not believe there will be any material changes in our unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.

The Company has applied for Scientific Research and Development Tax credits, as part of the annual Canadian federal and provincial income tax filings.  The federal tax credits are non-refundable and as the Company has a full provision against any future benefits from its historical tax losses, a tax receivable amount for federal research tax credits is not recognized on the balance sheet.  Ontario provincial tax credits for valid research and development expenditures, if granted, are refundable to the Company.  The amount of tax credit that will be awarded to the Company upon assessment of the returns by this tax jurisdiction is not always certain at the time the tax returns are filed.  As such, it is the Company’s policy to book a receivable for these amounts on the balance sheet only when the final tax assessment is received by the Company after the filing of such returns.  As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the balances for tax credits receivable on the balance sheet were nil and $51,220, respectively, which related to Ontario research and development tax credits assessed, but not received, as of the respective financial statement dates.

 
(g)           Revenue recognition

The Company follows specific and detailed guidance in measuring revenue, although certain judgments affect the application of our revenue recognition policy.  These judgments include, for example, the determination of a customer’s creditworthiness, whether two separate transactions with a customer should be accounted for as a single transaction, or whether included services are essential to the functionality of a product thereby requiring percentage of completion accounting rather than software accounting.

The Company derives revenue from license and service fees related to customization and implementation of the software being licensed.  License fees are recognized in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, and in certain instances in accordance with SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts.”  The Company licenses software under non-cancelable license
agreements.  License fee revenues are recognized when (a) a non-cancelable license agreement is in force, (b) the product has been delivered, (c) the license fee is fixed or determinable and (d) collection is reasonably assured.  If the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due from the customer.

Residual Method Accounting.  In software arrangements that include multiple elements (e.g., license rights and technical support services), total fees are allocated among each of the elements using the “residual” method of accounting.  Under this method, revenue allocated to undelivered elements is based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value of such undelivered elements, and the residual revenue is allocated to the delivered elements.  Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for such undelivered elements is based upon the price charged for such product or service when it is sold separately.  The Company’s pricing practices may be modified in the future, which would result in changes to our vendor specific objective evidence.  As a result,

 
10

 

future revenue associated with multiple element arrangements could differ significantly from our historical results.

Percentage of Completion Accounting.  Fees from licenses sold together with consulting services are generally recognized upon shipment of the licenses, provided (i) the criteria described in subparagraphs (a) through (d) in the second paragraph under “Revenue Recognition” above are met; (ii) payment of the license fee is not dependent upon performance of the consulting services; and (iii) the consulting services are not essential to the functionality of the licensed software.  If the services are essential to the functionality of the software, or performance of services is a condition to payment of license fees, both the software license and consulting fees are recognized under the “percentage of completion” method of contract accounting.  Under this method, management is required to estimate the number of total hours needed to complete a project, and revenues and profits are recognized based on the percentage of total contract hours as they are completed.  Due to the complexity involved in the estimating process, revenues and profits recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting are subject to revision as contract phases are actually completed.  Historically, these revisions have not been material.

Sublicense Revenues.  Sublicense fees are recognized as reported by our licensees.  License fees for certain application development and data access tools are recognized upon direct shipment from the Company to the end user or upon direct shipment to the reseller for resale to the end user.  If collection is not reasonably assured in advance, revenue is recognized only when sublicense fees are actually collected.

Service Revenues.  Technical support revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the related support agreement, which in most cases is one year.  Revenues from consulting services subjected to time and materials contracts, including training, are recognized as services are performed.  Revenues from other contract services are generally recognized based on the proportional performance of the project, with performance measured based on hours of work performed.

 
(h)           Research and software development costs

The Company incurs costs on activities that relate to research and the development of new software products.  Research costs are expensed as they are incurred.  Costs are reduced by tax credits where applicable. Software development costs to establish the technological feasibility of software applications developed by the Company are charged to expense as incurred.  In accordance with SFAS 86, certain costs incurred subsequent to achieving technological feasibility are capitalized.  Accordingly, a portion of the internal labor costs and external consulting costs associated with essential wireless software development and enhancement activities are capitalized.  Costs associated with conceptual design and feasibility assessments as well as maintenance and routine changes are expensed as incurred.  Capitalized costs are amortized based on current or future revenue for each product with an annual minimum equal to the straight-line basis of amortization over the estimated economic lives of the applications, not to exceed five years.  The software development costs which were previously capitalized by the Company, substantially related to the development of the wireless gaming system.  Gross software development costs for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and 2007 were $530,454 and $611,405, respectively.  Gross software development costs for the six months ended June 30, 2008, and 2007 were $1,212,557 and $1,233,998, respectively.  Capitalized software development costs are periodically evaluated for impairment.  During the quarter June 30, 2008 the Company wrote down the remaining balance of the capitalized software development costs to nil.  The Company’s initial expectations were that the wireless gaming system would begin to generate revenues by March 2008.  As the Company has not recognized significant and expected revenues to date from the wireless gaming system, the Company has determined that the capitalized software development costs were subject to impairment and as such the capitalized costs have been fully written off as of June 30, 2008.  The impairment charge of $432,656 is classified as a component of other income and expenses on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.


(i)           Stock-based compensation

As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of, and accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 - revised 2004 (“SFAS 123R”), “Share-Based Payment” which replaced Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”  Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation

 
11

 

cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.  The Company elected the modified-prospective method, under which prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes.  The valuation provisions of SFAS 123R apply to new grants and to grants that were outstanding as of the effective date and are subsequently modified.  Estimated compensation for grants that were outstanding as of the effective date will be recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost estimated for the SFAS 123 pro forma disclosures, as adjusted for estimated forfeitures.
 
During the six month periods ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued stock options to directors and employees under the 2006 Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) as described in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements.  The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 
(j)           Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of previously reported amounts have been made to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 
 (k)           Derivatives

The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”) along with related interpretations EITF No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”) and EITF No. 05-2 “The Meaning of ‘Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument’ in Issue No. 00-19” (EITF 05-2).  SFAS No. 133 requires every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) to be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value, with changes in the derivative’s fair value recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.  The Company values these derivative securities under the fair value method at the end of each reporting period, and their value is marked to market with the gain or loss recognition recorded against earnings.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine fair value.  Key assumptions of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include applicable volatility rates, risk-free interest rates and the instrument’s expected remaining life.  These assumptions require significant management judgment.  At June 30, 2008 and at December 31, 2007, there were no derivative instruments reported on the Company’s balance sheet.
 

Note 4.  Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable.  Receivables arising from sales to customers are not collateralized and, as a result, management continually monitors the financial condition of its customers to reduce the risk of loss. Customer account balances with invoices dated over 90 days are considered delinquent.  The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses based upon its loss history, its aging analysis and specific account review.  After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.  Such losses have been within management's expectations.  The Company has some exposure to a concentration of credit risk as it relates to specific industry verticals, as historically its customers have been primarily concentrated in the financial services industry and the current customer focus is in the gaming industry.  Since revenues are derived in large part from single projects, the Company bears some credit risk due to a high concentration of revenues from individual customers.  During the three months ended June 30, 2008, 84.8% of total revenues were generated from two customers that individually represented over 10% of total revenue each (Customer A – 73.6%, Customer B – 11.3%).  During the three months ended June 30, 2007, 93.2% of total revenues were generated from three customers representing over 10% of total revenue (Customer C – 31.3%, Customer D – 44.9%, Customer E – 17.0%).  During the six months ended June 30, 2008, 66.8% of total revenues were generated from one customer representing over 10% of total revenue (Customer A – 66.8%).  During the six months ended June 30, 2007, 91.1% of total revenues were generated from four customers representing over 10% of total revenue (Customer A – 27.8%, Customer C – 23.4%, Customer D – 28.9%, Customer E – 11.0%).

We had a balance of $44,185 and $52,175 in our Allowance for Doubtful Accounts provision as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.   This balance consists of provisions made in previous and current

 
12

 

quarters.  There was a total of $7,000 of accounts receivable write-offs against the provision during the three months ended June 30, 2008.  There were no write-offs for the comparative quarter of 2007.  


Note 5.  Stockholders’ Equity

In January 2006, the Company sold 2,307,693 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 1,200,000 shares of our common stock to Shuffle Master for $3.0 million.  This warrant had an exercise price of $2.025 per share which expired on July 12, 2007 without being exercised.  Using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the warrant was valued at $1,335,600 using a volatility of 65%, a term of 18 months, an expected dividend yield of 0% and a risk-free interest rate of 4.4%.  This amount was reclassified from Common Stock purchase warrants to Additional Paid-in Capital upon expiration of the warrants in the third quarter of 2007.  In addition, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, convertible debt was issued with accompanying warrants.  The accompanying warrants and the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debt were accounted for as equity.  See Note 11.
 

Note 6.  Earnings per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share considers the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the entity.

The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, did not include shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the exercise of options, shares issuable upon exercise of common stock warrants, nor shares issuable upon the conversion of the convertible notes, as their inclusion in the calculation would be anti-dilutive. The number of options and warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 are illustrated in the table below, as well as the number of shares underlying the convertible notes.

Note 7.  Contractual Obligations and Long-Term Liability

The Company leases office space in Toronto, Ontario and Boulder, Colorado which run to February 2012 and September 2010 respectively.  The Company is currently leasing space in New York, New York on a short-term basis under a lease which expires in September 2008, for its corporate headquarters.  In addition, in 2007 we leased approximately 1,000 square feet in Las Vegas, Nevada, for our corporate apartment which was leased on an annual basis until February 2008, at a monthly rent of approximately $2,000. Our frequent trips to Las Vegas made this lease a cost effective way to house our employees during business trips for meetings with our partner Shuffle Master and in connection with GLI certification of our wireless gaming solution.  This lease was not renewed when it expired at the end of February 2008.  In April 2008, the Company opened a small sales office in Las Vegas, Nevada under a short-term lease which runs to September 2008.  The Company intends to renew its Las Vegas lease on substantially the same terms on a short-term basis when the current lease agreement expires.  Office lease expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $94,565 and $101,636, respectively. Office lease expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $208,312 and $212,532, respectively.
 
The Company also leases office and computer equipment.  These leases have been classified as operating leases.  Office and computer equipment lease expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were

 
13

 

$38,888 and $48,581, respectively.  Office and computer equipment lease expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $78,830 and $76,753, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company completed a private placement of 8.0% convertible notes (the “2007 Notes”) with 3,333,333 accompanying warrants which had gross proceeds of $3.0 million.  The 2007 Notes have a face value of $3 million, are due on November 28, 2010, and are convertible into 6,666,667 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.45 per share (assuming interest is paid in cash). The 2007 Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum, payable quarterly on the first of January, April, July, and October with such interest payable in cash, shares of common stock or a combination thereof.  Payment of interest in shares of common stock is subject to certain conditions being met including the existence of a registration statement which has been declared effective by the SEC and which covers the required number of interest shares.

Note 8.  Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and convertible notes.  The reported book value of all current asset and current liability financial instruments approximates fair values, due to their short term nature.  The convertible notes were recorded at the time of issuance at their estimated fair market value and the difference between the estimated fair market value at the time of issuance and the face value of $3 million (i.e. the debt discount) is being amortized over the three year term to maturity of the notes.  See Note 11.

The Company is subject to credit risk with respect to its accounts receivable to the extent that debtors do not meet their obligations.  The Company monitors the age of its accounts receivable and may delay development or terminate information fees if debtors do not meet payment terms.

The Company is subject to foreign currency risk with respect to financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency.  As of June 30, 2008, approximately 7.5% of the Company’s assets and 6.0% of its liabilities were denominated in Canadian dollars and Euros and exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

Note 10.  Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenue occurs where the Company invoices customers for project work that has not been completed at the balance sheet date.  The Company’s deferred revenue balance as of June 30, 2008 was $162,211.  The Company’s deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2007 was $55,795.


Note 11.  Long Term Debt

On November 28, 2007 (the “Issue Date”), the Company completed a private placement of 8.0% convertible notes (the “2007 Notes”) with 3,333,333 accompanying warrants (the “2007 Warrants”) which had gross proceeds of $3.0 million.  The 2007 Notes have a face value of $3 million, are due on November 28, 2010, and are convertible into 6,666,667 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.45 per share (assuming interest is paid in cash).  The 2007 Warrants have an exercise price of $0.50 per share and expire five years from the Issue Date.

The 2007 Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum, payable quarterly on the first of January, April, July, and October with such interest payable in cash, shares of common stock or a combination thereof.  Payment of interest in shares of common stock is subject to certain conditions being met including the existence of a registration statement which has been declared effective by the SEC and which covers the required number of interest shares.  A total of 2,133,333 shares have been included on the registration statement relating to the payment of interest in shares instead of cash.  As per the purchase agreement which governs the November 2007 private placement, this is the required minimum to be registered for interest shares and is calculated as the total interest payable over the three year term of the notes divided by 75% of the current conversion price of $0.45 per share as follows:

($3,000,000 x 8% x 3 years) / (75% x $0.45/share) = 2,133,333 registrable shares

In addition to the interest shares, 6,666,667 shares relating to the common stock underlying the 2007 Notes and 3,333,333 shares relating to the common stock underlying the 2007 Warrants have also been registered, for a total of 12,133,333 registrable shares.

The 2007 Notes are convertible under any of the following circumstances, subject to the provision that the stockholders’ beneficial ownership percentage cannot exceed 4.99% after such conversion:


 
15

 


 
·
during any period after the Issue Date, (i) the daily volume weighted average price per share of common stock of the Company for at least 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days, which period shall have commenced only after the Issue Date (the “Threshold Period”), exceeds $0.90 (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the common stock of the Company that occurs after the Issue Date), (ii) for at least 20 trading days during the applicable Threshold Period, the daily trading volume for the common stock of the Company on the trading market of the Company exceeds $100,000 per trading day and (iii) all of the Equity Conditions (as defined in the 2007 Notes) are met (unless waived by a holder) for the applicable time period set forth in the 2007 Notes;
 
·
any time after the Issue Date in whole or part, at the option of the holder, at any time and from time to time until such 2007 Note is no longer outstanding.
 
The conversion price of the 2007 Notes is $0.45 per share and is subject to downward adjustment in the event of the issuance by the Company of any common stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the 2007 Notes agreement) at a price per share less than the then applicable conversion price of the 2007 Notes.  In addition, the conversion price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain enumerated events.

The 2007 Warrants were exercisable immediately as of the Issue Date and for a period of five years from the Issue Date at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.  The Black-Scholes valuation model was used to estimate the fair value of these warrants using the following assumptions:  volatility of 55%, term and expected life of five years, risk free interest rate of 3.40%, market value at the time of issuance of underlying common stock of $0.395, and a zero dividend rate.  The Company determined the estimated fair value of the warrants to be $582,664.

The 2007 Notes have been accounted for as long term debt, net of a debt discount consisting of the allocated value of the warrants and a beneficial conversion feature.  The embedded conversion feature has been deemed to be a beneficial conversion feature pursuant to EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with beneficial Conversion feature or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratio, and EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments.  These standards require that the fair value of the conversion feature of the instrument be treated as a debt discount against the liability portion of the note.  This beneficial conversion feature is calculated by computing the intrinsic value between the effective conversion price and fair value of common stock on the Issue Date. The effective conversion price is based on the allocation of the relative values of the 2007 Notes and the 2007 Warrants on a relative fair value basis.  The debt discount resulting from the beneficial conversion feature was determined to be $159,629.  The allocated fair value of the 2007 Warrants was determined to be $526,296, which was also recorded as a debt discount.  The Company is amortizing the combined debt discount of $685,925 over the term of the 2007 Notes on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method.  The amortization of the debt discount is being recorded as additional interest expense.

Total interest expense related to the 2007 Notes, including amortization of debt discount, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, is $234,320, which consisted of $120,000 in interest paid or accrued during the six month period ended June 30, 2008, as well as $114,320 relating to the amortization of the debt discount.

There was $324,184 of debt issuance costs including placement agent fees and legal expenses.  These costs have been capitalized as an asset and are being amortized over the three year term of the 2007 Notes.  During the six month period ended June 30, 2008, amortization of these costs in the amount of $54,031 resulted in net reported debt issuance costs of $261,148 as of June 30, 2008.  Debt issuance cost at December 31, 2007 was $315,179

As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the amounts on the Company’s balance sheet for the long term convertible debt were $2,449,354 and $2,335,034, respectively.


Note 12.  Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.  Under the liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial

 
16

 

statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” on January 1, 2007.  As the Company has a valuation allowance against the full amount of its net deferred tax asset, the adoption of FIN 48 did not have an impact on the financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The Company does not expect FIN 48 to have an impact on the financial statements during fiscal year 2008.

At the adoption date, the Company applied FIN 48 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open.  As a result of the implementation of FIN 48 there were no unrecognized tax benefits and, accordingly, there has been no effect on the Company’s financial condition or result of operations.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions.  Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related taxes laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply.  The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state examinations for years before 2004, and Canadian federal and provincial tax examination for years before 2004. Management does not believe there will be any material changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax position over the next 12 months.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses for all periods presented.  There was no accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2007.


Note 13.  Note Payable - Related Party Transactions and Borrowings
 
On May 28, 2008, the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Financing Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Shawn Kreloff, Chairman and CEO, and his wife, Victoria Corn (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Investor is willing to lend the Company up to $1,000,000 by one or two instalments under unsecured promissory notes that would be convertible into a subsequent financing by the Company.  Each unsecured promissory note would mature in 90 days from the date of issuance of each Note at the rate of 8% per annum accruing from the date of issuance.  The intent of the Agreement when signed was that it would likely be rolled in to any subsequent financing entered in to by the Company on an arms-length basis and thus no repayment upon maturity would be required.  There has been no subsequent financing and the current negotiations pertaining to an agreement would not be such that there would be a vehicle for the bridge financing to roll into.  This promissory note is subordinated to the 2007 Notes which are not due until November 2010, and as such the Company does not expect to repay the Note until at least 90 days after the 2007 Notes mature in November 2010.  For this reason, the Company has not classified the promissory note as a Current Liability on the balance sheet.

On June 17, 2008, Investor funded the $471,750 and was issued a Bridge Loan Note (“Note 1”) for said amount pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.  The entire indebtedness due pursuant to the Note 1 shall be all due and payable within ninety (90) days from the date of Note 1.  There is no timing commitment as to the remaining amount under the Bridge Loan Financing Agreement.  The Company believes the commitment for the remaining amount remains valid, although Shawn Kreloff, who was placed on administrative leave on July 16, 2008, has advised the Company that he does not believe he is required to fund the remaining amount.
 
 
Note 14.  Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s 2006 Incentive Plan, which is stockholder approved, permits the grant of options, restricted stock, and other stock awards, to its directors, officers, and employees for up to 7 million shares of common stock, in addition to the options already issued under the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan of

 
17

 

2000.  The Company believes such awards align the interest of its directors, officers, and employees with those of its shareholders and encourage directors, officers, and employees to act as equity owners of the Company.  Prior to the adoption of the 2006 Plan, the Company had an Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan of 2000, which was terminated with respect to future grants effective upon the stockholder’s approval of the 2006 Plan in September 2006.

 
Stock Options
 
Options awards are granted with exercise price equal to, or in excess of, market value at the date of grant.  Accordingly, in accordance with SFAS 123R and related interpretations, compensation expense is recognized for the stock option grants.  The options become exercisable on a prorated basis over a one to four year vesting period, and expire within 10 year after the grant date.

SFAS 123R requires the cash flow from tax benefits for deductions in excess of the compensation costs recognized for share-base payments awards to be classified as financing cash flows.  Due to the Company’s loss position, there was no such tax benefit during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model, consistent with the provision of SFAS 123R.  Key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the grant price of the award, the expected option term, volatility of the Company’s stock, the risk-free interest rate as of the date of the grant and the Company’s dividend yield.  Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimate of fair value made by the Company.  The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used for options granted:

    4,474,791       0.2212  

As of June 30, 2008, there was $483,284 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the 2006 Plan and the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan of 2000.  The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be realized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.

 
Restricted Stock Awards

During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company accrued for 163,746 shares of restricted stock issuable to consultants as payment for work performed during the second quarter of fiscal 2008.  These shares were issued in August 2008.

Compensation expense recognized for the amortization of stock-based compensation related to restricted stock was $5,833 and $33,230, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. 
 

Note 15.  Geographic Information

As described above in Note 2, the Company primarily markets its products and services to two different sales verticals.  However, management has determined that the Company operates as one business segment which focuses on the development, sale and marketing of wireless application software.  The Company currently maintains development, sales and marketing operations in the United States and Canada.  The following table shows revenues by geographic segment for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

Note 16.  Other Income and Expense

Other income and expenses include miscellaneous items such as foreign currency transaction exchange gains or losses and nonrecurring transactions such as gains or losses from the revaluation of derivatives and related instruments.  For the six months ended June 30, 2008, other income and expense consisted of a write down of $432,656 for the remaining balance of the capitalized software development costs to nil.  As the Company has not recognized any net revenues to date from the wireless gaming system, the Company has determined that the capitalized software development costs were subject to impairment and as such the capitalized costs have been fully written off as of June 30, 2008.  The remaining balance of other income and expenses consisted  of foreign currency transaction exchange losses in the amount of $7,002.  Comparatively, during the six months ended June 30, 2007, other income and expense consisted entirely of a foreign currency transaction exchange losses in the amount of $9,631.

Item 2.                      Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.   Certain statements in this discussion and elsewhere in this report constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.   See “Forward Looking Statements” on page 3 of this report.  Because this discussion involves risk and uncertainties, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
 

 
Our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.  Since our inception in November 2003, we have generated minimal revenue, have incurred net losses and have not generated positive cash flow from operations.  We have relied primarily on the sale of shares of equity and convertible debt to fund our operations.  In addition, our cash reserves are only sufficient to fund our current level of operating expenses until prior to the end of August 2008.  Based on our current business plans, we will be obligated to seek additional financing before that time.  Such financing may not be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available when required or on acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue our operations as planned, or at all. In view of our continuing losses, our auditors in their report on our December 31, 2007 consolidated financial statements have stated that these continuing losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company has been actively pursuing potential financing or other transaction options for the Company to raise additional funds.  The Company is in the final stages of negotiating an agreement, which if effected will have a substantial effect on the Company’s business, operations, financial condition and management.
 

 Business Overview

We are a software and service provider that specializes in value-added applications to data-intensive vertical and horizontal market segments including the gaming industry. Through our subsidiaries, we develop, market and sell data application software for gaming and mobile devices which enables secure execution of real time transactions on a flexible platform over wired, cellular or Wi-Fi networks. Our target customer base includes casinos, horse racing tracks and operators, cruise ship operators and casino game manufacturers and suppliers on the gaming side, and corporations that require secure transmissions of large amounts of data in the enterprise and financial services verticals. Our revenues consist of project, licensing and support fees generated by our flagship products the Sona Gaming System™ (“SGS”) and the Sona Wireless Platform (‘‘SWP’’) and related vertical gaming and wireless application software products. We operate as one business segment focused on the development, sale and marketing of client-server application software.  We market our software principally to two large vertical markets:
 
 
Gaming and entertainment. We propose to (i) deliver casino games via our SGS, both wired and wirelessly in designated areas on casino properties; (ii) offer real-time, multiplayer games that accommodate an unlimited number of players; (iii) deliver games on a play-for-free or wagering basis (where permitted by law) on mobile telephone handsets over any carrier network; and (iv) deliver horse and sports wagering applications, where legal, for race and sports books, as well as on-track and off-track wagering, including live streaming video of horse races and other sports events.  We also propose to deliver content via channel partners and content partners, including live streaming television, digital radio, specific theme downloads for mobile phones, media downloads and gaming applications.
 
 
Financial services and enterprise software.  Our products and services extend enterprise applications to the wireless arena, such as customer relationship management systems, sales force automation systems, information technology (IT) service desk and business continuity protocols. One of our primary focuses in this sales vertical is to develop software for the data-intensive investment banking community and client-facing applications for the retail banking industry.
 
Since December 2003, we have focused on two areas: (1) further developing and enhancing our software platforms and developing an array of products for the gaming, entertainment, financial services, and general corporate market that leverage the functionality of our software platforms and (2) developing a sales strategy that would develop relationships with software manufacturers, multi-service operators, wireless carriers and direct customers.

 
21

 


In 2006, in conjunction with our strategic alliance with Shuffle Master and because of the perceived opportunities for wireless server-based applications in the gaming and horse racing industries, we switched our primary sales and development focus towards the gaming industry.  During 2007, we perceived that there was a potentially far greater opportunity to develop and sell server-based gaming applications that could be operated in both wired and wireless network environments or a combination thereof.  We continue to focus on the financial services and enterprise market sectors for products, customers and verticals where we have previously experienced success or where we perceive significant opportunities to exist.

 
Business Trends

We believe that there will be a trend in the gaming industry away from single, standalone electronic games on the casino floor towards server based gaming consoles, touch screens and kiosks which can play multiple games and can primarily be centrally serviced by a network or IT manager, as the cost of such multi-game client devices is a fraction of the cost of most of the currently available single, standalone electronic games currently in existence on the casino floor.  In the financial and enterprise space, the market demand for mobile and wireless solutions, both at the enterprise and consumer levels, continues to grow rapidly.  We believe that we are well-positioned to exploit this opportunity with various focused initiatives, ranging from direct and channel sales to the enterprise market, combined with partnership and joint venture agreements with content providers to satisfy the significant growth in demand from the consumer market for these types of services.

Approximately 83% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 resulted from development fees for project work and approximately 17% from continuing license subscriptions.  During the comparative six months ended June 30, 2007, 91% of revenue resulted from project work and 9% from continuing subscriptions.  Much of our project work is attributable to new engagements for which we received development fees.  We believe that the ratio will move toward continuing license subscription revenue, as we transition from focusing on custom projects in the financial services and enterprise segment and move towards longer term licensing contracts in the gaming industry and from perceived opportunities in the horse race and sports wagering industry.  In the six month period ended June 30, 2008, approximately 27% of our revenue was derived from the sale of our financial services and enterprise products, while approximately 73% was derived from our gaming and horse racing products.  In the prior comparative quarter, approximately 72% of our revenue was derived from the sale of our financial services and enterprise products, while approximately 28% was derived from our gaming and horse racing products.  Now that some of our products are commercially available and as new leads are generated, we anticipate that business opportunities will emerge within the gaming and horse racing industry.  However, we cannot assure you that any such business opportunities will emerge, or if they do, that any such opportunity will result in a definitive arrangement with any enterprises in the gaming industry, or that any such definitive arrangement will be profitable.

 
Significant Transactions
 
On November 28, 2007, the Company completed a private placement of 8.0% convertible notes with 3,333,333 accompanying warrants for gross proceeds of $3 million.  The 2007 Notes have a face value of $3 million, are due on November 28, 2010 and are convertible into 6,666,667 shares of common stock (assuming interest is paid in cash) at a conversion price of $0.45 per share.  The 2007 Warrants are common stock purchase warrants to purchase 3,333,333 shares of common stock.  The 2007 Warrants have an exercise price of $0.50 per share and expire five years from the issue date.  The 2007 Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum, payable quarterly on the first of January, April, July, and October with such interest payable in cash, shares of common stock or a combination thereof.  Payment of interest in shares of common stock is subject to certain conditions being met including the existence of a registration statement which has been declared effective by the SEC and which covers the required number of interest shares.

On July 7, 2006, we closed a private placement to accredited investors whereby we sold 16,943,323 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 8,471,657 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $10.1 million before payment of commissions and expenses.  The warrants had an exercise price of $0.83 per share, subject to downward adjustment if the Company does not meet specified annual revenue targets, and are exercisable at any time during the period commencing July 7, 2006, and ending July 7, 2011.  The funds from the financing will primarily be used for general working capital purposes.  As a result of the Company not meeting the specified revenue targets for fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007, the exercise price of the warrants was adjusted downwards to an exercise price of $0.70 per share at the end of fiscal 2006 and was

 
22

 

readjusted to an exercise price of $0.40 per share at the end of fiscal 2007.  We used $300,000 of the funds raised to repurchase 650,000 shares of common stock from our former chief executive officer, John Bush.

On April 28, 2006, we purchased certain intellectual property assets from Digital Wasabi LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Digital Wasabi”).  The purchase price was 800,000 shares of our common stock.  The assets consist of intellectual property in the form of software under development related to communications and gaming.  The principals and employees of Digital Wasabi became our employees and are based in our Boulder, Colorado office.  While we believe this purchased technology will have significant future value, the software does not meet the criteria for capitalization as prescribed by SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed” (“SFAS 86”) and as such was written off in the quarter of acquisition.

In January 2006, we entered into a strategic alliance distribution and licensing agreement with Shuffle Master, a leading provider of table gaming content, to license, develop, distribute and market “in casino” wireless handheld gaming content and delivery systems to gaming venues throughout the world.  Under the terms of the agreement, we agreed to develop a Shuffle Master-branded wireless gaming platform powered by our SWP for in-casino use, which would feature handheld versions of Shuffle Master’s proprietary table game content, as well as other proprietary gaming content and public domain casino games.  In conjunction with this strategic alliance, Shuffle Master invested $3 million in the Company, in exchange for common stock and warrants to purchase common stock in our Company pursuant to the Licensing and Distribution Agreement, dated January 12, 2006 between the Company and Shuffle Master, ( the “Licensing and Distribution Agreement”).  This Licensing and Distribution Agreement was amended and restated in February 2007.  Under the terms of the amended Licensing and Distribution Agreement, both the Company and Shuffle Master are permitted to distribute market and sell the wireless version of the SGS to gaming venues worldwide.  Additionally, we have been granted a non-exclusive worldwide license to offer Shuffle Master's proprietary table game content on the platform, and the Company has granted Shuffle Master a non-exclusive worldwide license to certain Company developed wireless platform software and enhancements that support the integration and mobilization of casino gaming applications into in-casino wireless gaming delivery systems.  Shuffle Master beneficially owns 8.19% of our common stock.

 
Corporate History

Sona Mobile, Inc. (“Sona Mobile”) was formed under the laws of the State of Washington in November 2003, for the purpose of acquiring Sona Innovations, Inc. (“Innovations”), which it did in December 2003.  On April 19, 2005, Sona Mobile merged (the "Merger") with and into PerfectData Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“PAC”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PerfectData Corporation, also a Delaware corporation (“PerfectData”).  Under the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 7, 2005, (i) PAC was the surviving company but changed its name to Sona Mobile, Inc.; (ii) the pre-merger shareholders of Sona Mobile received stock in PerfectData representing 80% of the voting power in PAC post-merger; (iii) all of PerfectData’s officers resigned and Sona Mobile’s pre-merger officers were appointed as the new officers of PerfectData; and (iv) four of the five persons serving as directors of PerfectData resigned and the remaining director appointed the three pre-merger directors of Sona Mobile to the PerfectData Board of Directors.  In November 2005, PerfectData changed its name to “Sona Mobile Holdings Corp.”

At the time of the Merger, PerfectData was essentially a shell company that was not engaged in an active business.  Upon completion of the Merger, PerfectData’s only business was the historical business of Sona Mobile and the pre-merger shareholders of Sona Mobile controlled PerfectData.  Accordingly, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition of a public shell and a recapitalization of Sona Mobile.  No goodwill was recorded in connection with the Merger and the costs were accounted for as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital.  The pre-merger financial statements of Sona Mobile are treated as the historical financial statements of the combined companies.  The historical financial statements of PerfectData prior to the Merger are not presented.  Furthermore, because Sona Mobile is deemed the accounting acquirer, its historical stockholders’ equity has been adjusted to reflect the new capital structure.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principally generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  These accounting principles require management to make estimates and

 
23

 

assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of its financial statements.  Management is also required to make certain judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period.  Management periodically evaluates these estimates and assumptions including those relating to revenue recognition, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, the allowance for doubtful accounts, capitalized software, income taxes, stock-based compensation and contingencies and litigation.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable based on specific circumstances.  Management reviews the development, selection, and disclosure of these estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.  These estimates and assumptions form the basis for judgments about the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Further, changes in accounting and legal standards could adversely affect our future operating results.  Our critical accounting policies include: revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, capitalized software, income taxes, stock-based compensation, and derivatives, each of which are discussed below.

 
Revenue Recognition

We follow specific and detailed guidance in measuring revenue, although certain judgments affect the application of our revenue recognition policy.  These judgments include, for example, the determination of a customer’s creditworthiness, whether two separate transactions with a customer should be accounted for as a single transaction, or whether included services are essential to the functionality of a product thereby requiring percentage of completion accounting rather than software accounting.

We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, and in certain instances in accordance with SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts.”  We license software under non-cancelable license agreements.  License fee revenues are recognized when (a) a non-cancelable license agreement is in force, (b) the product has been delivered, (c) the license fee is fixed or determinable and (d) collection is reasonably assured.  If the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due from the customer.

Residual Method Accounting.  In software arrangements that include multiple elements (e.g., license rights and technical support services), we allocate the total fees among each of the elements using the “residual” method of accounting.  Under this method, revenue allocated to undelivered elements is based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value of such undelivered elements, and the residual revenue is allocated to the delivered elements.  Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for such undelivered elements is based upon the price we charge for such product or service when it is sold separately.  We may modify our pricing practices in the future, which would result in changes to our vendor specific objective evidence.  As a result, future revenue associated with multiple element arrangements could differ significantly from our historical results.

Percentage of Completion Accounting.  Fees from licenses sold together with consulting services are generally recognized upon shipment of the licenses, provided (i) the criteria described in subparagraphs (a) through (d) in the second paragraph under “Revenue Recognition” above are met; (ii) payment of the license fee is not dependent upon performance of the consulting services; and (iii) the consulting services are not essential to the functionality of the licensed software.  If the services are essential to the functionality of the software, or performance of services is a condition to payment of license fees, both the software license and consulting fees are recognized under the “percentage of completion” method of contract accounting.  Under this method, we are required to estimate the number of total hours needed to complete a project, and revenues and profits are recognized based on the percentage of total contract hours as they are completed.  Due to the complexity involved in the estimating process, revenues and profits recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting are subject to revision as contract phases are actually completed.  Historically, these revisions have not been material.

Sublicense Revenues.  We recognize sublicense fees as reported by our licensees.  License fees for certain application development and data access tools are recognized upon direct shipment by us to the end user or upon direct shipment to the reseller for resale to the end user.  If collection is not reasonably assured in advance, revenue is recognized only when sublicense fees are actually collected. 

 
24

 

Service Revenues.  Technical support revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the related support agreement, which in most cases is one year.  Revenues from consulting services subjected to time and materials contracts, including training, are recognized as services are performed.  Revenues from other contract services are generally recognized based on the proportional performance of the project, with performance measured based on hours of work performed.

 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Whenever relevant, we maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the expected non-collection of accounts receivable based on past collection history and specific risks identified in our portfolio of receivables.  Additional allowances might be required if deteriorating economic conditions or other factors affect our customers’ ability to make timely payments.
 
 
Capitalized Software Development Costs

We capitalize certain software development costs after a product becomes technologically feasible and before its general release to customers.  Significant judgment is required in determining when a product becomes “technologically feasible.”  Capitalized development costs are then amortized over the product’s estimated life beginning upon general release of the product.  Periodically, we compare a product’s unamortized capitalized cost to the product’s net realizable value.  To the extent unamortized capitalized cost exceeds net realizable value based on the product’s estimated future gross revenues (reduced by the estimated future costs of completing and selling the product) the excess is written off.  This analysis requires us to estimate future gross revenues associated with certain products and the future costs of completing and selling certain products.  Changes in these estimates could result in write-offs of capitalized software costs.  The software development costs which we had previously capitalized, substantially related to the development of the wireless gaming system.  Capitalized software development costs are periodically evaluated for impairment.  During the quarter June 30, 2008 the Company wrote down the remaining balance of the capitalized software development costs to nil.  Our initial expectations were that the wireless gaming system would begin generating revenues by March 2008.  As we have not recognized significant and expected revenues to date from the wireless gaming system, we have determined that the capitalized software development costs were subject to impairment and as such the capitalized costs have been fully written off as of June 30, 2008.  The impairment charges of $432,656 are classified as a component of other income and expense on the consolidated statement of operations and loss.


Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability approach to account for income taxes.  This methodology recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.  We then record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that likely will be realized.  We consider future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance.  If we determine during any period that we could realize a larger net deferred tax asset than the recorded amount, we would adjust the deferred tax asset and record a corresponding reduction to its income tax expense for the period.  Conversely, if management determines that we would be unable to realize a portion of our recorded deferred tax asset, it would adjust the deferred tax asset and record a charge to income tax expense for the period.  Significant judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns.  Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences (e.g., the income we earn within the United States) could materially impact our financial position or results of operations.
 
We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” (“FIN 48”) on January 1, 2007.  As of March 31, 2008, exist a valuation allowance against the full amount of its net deferred tax asset, the adoption of FIN 48 did not have an impact on the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  It is our policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.  As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, there was no accrued interest or penalty associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense or penalty recognized during six months ended June 30, 2008.

We file our income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions.  Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related taxes laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply.  The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state examinations for years before 2004, and Canadian federal and provincial tax examination for years before 2004.  Management does not believe there will be any material changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax position over the next 12 months. 
 
We have applied for Scientific Research and Development Tax credits, as part of our annual Canadian federal and provincial income tax filings.  The federal tax credits are non-refundable and as we have a full provision against any future benefits from our historical tax losses, a tax receivable amount for federal research tax credits is not recognized on the balance sheet.  Ontario provincial tax credits for valid research and development expenditures are refundable to the Company.  As the amount of tax credit that will be awarded to us upon assessment of the returns by this tax jurisdiction is not always certain at the time the tax returns are filed, it is our policy to book a receivable for these amounts on the balance sheet only when we receive the final tax assessment after the filing of such returns.  As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the balances for tax credits receivable on the balance sheet were nil and $51,220, respectively, which related to Ontario research and development tax credits assessed, but not received, as of the respective financial statement dates.

 
Stock-based Compensation

As of January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of, and accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the FASB’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 — revised 2004 (“SFAS 123R”), “Share-Based Payment” which replaced Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”  Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.  The Company elected the modified-prospective method, under which prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes.  The valuation provisions of SFAS 123R apply to new grants and to grants that were outstanding as of the effective date and are subsequently modified.  Estimated compensation for grants that were outstanding as of the effective date will be recognized over the remaining service period
using the compensation cost estimated for the SFAS 123 pro forma disclosures, as adjusted for estimated forfeitures.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued stock options to directors, officers, and employees under the 2006 Incentive Plan as described in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements.  The fair value of the total options granted by the Company during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, using a range of risk-free interest rates of 2.84% - 5.00%, an expected term of 3.00 years, expected volatility of 55.0% and no dividend.
 
 
Derivatives

We follow the provisions of SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS No. 133”) along with related interpretations EITF No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”) and EITF No. 05-2 “The Meaning of ‘Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument’ in Issue No. 00-19” (“EITF 05-2”).  SFAS No. 133 requires every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) to be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value, with changes in the derivative’s fair value recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.  We value these derivative securities under the fair value method at the end of each reporting period, and their value is marked to market with the gain or loss recognition recorded against earnings.  We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine fair value.  Key assumptions of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include applicable volatility rates, risk-free interest rates and the instruments expected remaining life.  These assumptions require significant management judgment.  At June 30, 2008, there were no derivative instruments reported on the Company’s balance sheet.

Results of Operations

Our business is in its early stages and consequently our financial results are difficult to compare from one period to the next.  We expect such period-to-period differences to continue to be significant over the next several quarters, until we have a number of full years of operations. 
 
Comparison of three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, we had a comprehensive loss of $1,695,362 compared to a comprehensive loss of $1,329,282 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.  The increase of $366,070 in comprehensive loss between the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 is primarily due to the increase in other income and expenses of $437,246, as a result of the write down of software development cost, which was offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses, professional fees, and selling and marketing expenses which collectively decreased by $394,610, as a result of cost reduction efforts.  The following table compares our consolidated statement of operations data for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $188,777 compared to net revenue of $267,182 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of 29%.  The net revenue of $188,777 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 included $158,432 of software licensing and development revenue and $30,345 of maintenance and service contract revenue.  Approximately 88% of the revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008, relates to development fees for project work and approximately 12% is attributable to continuing license subscriptions or other forms of recurring revenue.  For the three months ended June 30, 2008, approximately 22% of our revenue was derived from applications sold to the financial services and enterprise products, while approximately 78% was derived from the gaming and horse racing products.  The net revenue of $267,182 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 included $253,314 of software licensing and development revenue and $13,867 of maintenance and service contract revenue.  Approximately 93% of the revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007, relates to development fees for project work and

 
27

 

approximately 7% is attributable to continuing license subscriptions or other forms of recurring revenue.  For the three months ended June 30, 2007, all of our revenue was derived from applications sold to the financial services and enterprise products.   


Operating expenses

Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $1,333,974 compared to $1,612,012 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of 17%.  The decrease of $278,038 is primarily due to cost reductions efforts which caused general and administrative expenses to decrease by 14%, professional fees to decrease by 75%, and sales & marketing expenses to decrease by 41% due to a lower level of headcount and reduced use of outside professionals.


Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $55,255 compared to $15,722 incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $39,533.  The increase in this category was due to amortization of debt issuance costs related to the 2007 Notes ($27,015), as described in Note 11 of our consolidated financial statements.  The remaining balance in the three months ended June 30, 2008 consisted of depreciation of property, plant and equipment. The comparative three months of fiscal 2007 amount in this category was composed entirely of depreciation expense relating to property, plant and equipment.

 
General and Administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $595,418 compared to $696,133 incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2007, a 14% decrease.  The decrease is primarily due to general cost reduction efforts across most expenses in this category.


Professional fees

Professional fees during the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $56,273, compared to $228,332 incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2007, a 75% decrease.  Legal fees decreased from $170,399 during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 to $26,997 during the second quarter of 2008.  The decrease is primarily due to the internal general counsel hired during the first quarter of 2008, with the intention of reducing the high costs associated with legal fees related to contract negotiations, regulatory and patent filings, intellectual property, and other matters.

 
Development expenses

Development expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2008, were $449,168 compared to $372,130 incurred during the comparative three months ended June 30, 2007, a 21% increase.  Although total development expenses increased, gross payroll and related expenses decreased by 12% from $503,220 during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 to $444,048 incurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2008, which was primarily due to a decrease in headcount.  In addition, during the second quarter of fiscal 2007, $239,275 of total payroll related expenses was capitalized as software development costs, in accordance with SFAS 86, reducing development expense by the same amount capitalized.  There was no capitalization of software development costs during the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

 
Selling and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $177,860 compared to $299,695 incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2007, a 41% decrease.  Expenses related to consultants, communication, conferences and tradeshows, and travel & entertainment expenses decreased from $180,545 incurred during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 to $43,949 incurred during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, as we reduced expenses to conserve cash.

Other income and expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, other income and expense was a loss of $435,052 compared to a gain of $2,194 during the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $437,246.  The increase in other income and expense was primarily due to the write down of the remaining balance of capitalized software development costs ($432,656) to nil, while the remaining balance was contributed to a foreign currency transaction exchange loss ($2,396).  Comparatively, during the three months ended June 30, 2007, other income and expense was a gain of $2,194, which consisted entirely of a foreign currency transaction exchange loss.

 
Interest income

Interest income is derived from investing unused cash balances in short-term liquid investments.  Average cash balances during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 were lower than during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, resulting in the lower level of interest income of $2,326 during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 versus $39,256 earned during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007.
 

Interest expense

Interest expense increased from nil during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, to $117,160 during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008.  This increase is due to interest expense related to the issuance of debt in November 2007.  Actual interest expense on the face value of the 2007 Notes for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $60,000, while amortization of the debt discount in the amount of $57,160 contributed to the remainder of the amount in this category.

 
Foreign currency translation adjustment

Prior period retained earnings on Innovations’ books are translated at historical exchange rates while the rest of the financial statement line items are translated at current period rates.  The resulting difference is treated as gain or loss due to foreign currency translation during the period.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2008 there was a loss of $279 and during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 there was a loss of $25,912.  These exchange translation amounts were directly related to revaluation of the Innovation’s books to our U.S. dollar functional reporting currency.

Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we had a comprehensive loss of $3,563,157 compared to a comprehensive loss of $2,983,297 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.  The increase of $579,860 in comprehensive loss between the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 is primarily due to the increase in other income and expenses as a result of the write down of software development cost, an increase in interest expense of $233,856, and a decrease of $134,357 in net revenues.  The following table compares our consolidated statement of operations data for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $3,190,916 compared to $3,458,661 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of 8%.  The decrease of $267,745 is primarily due to cost reduction efforts whereby general and administrative expenses decreased by 9%, professional fees decreased by 40%, and sales & marketing expenses decreased by 37%.


Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $145,285 compared to $28,007 incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $117,278.  The increase was primarily due to amortization of debt issuance costs related to the 2007 Notes ($54,030), as described in Note 11 of our consolidated financial statements and amortization of software development costs ($43,266) in the first quarter of 2008 , while the remaining balance consisted of depreciation of property, plant and equipment.  The comparative six months of fiscal 2007 amount in this category was composed entirely of depreciation expense relating to property, plant and equipment.
 

General and Administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $1,133,763 compared to $1,241,723 incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2007, a 9% decrease.  Increases in payroll expenses in this category as a result of the hire of our internal counsel and salary increases were off-set by a decrease in consulting, travel, stock-based compensation, and minor decreases in various other expenses due to cost reduction efforts, resulting in the decrease to this category in the first half of fiscal 2008 as compared to the first half of fiscal 2007.


Professional fees

Professional fees during the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $373,768, compared to $625,791 incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2007, a 40% decrease.  Legal fees decreased from $471,926 during the first half of fiscal 2007 to $248,155 during the first half of 2008.  The decrease in the current year period was primarily due to the hiring of internal general counsel with the intention of reducing the high costs associated with legal fees related to contract negotiations, regulatory and patent filings, intellectual property, and other matters.


Development expenses

Development expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2008, were $1,131,272 compared to $917,177 incurred during the comparative six months ended June 30, 2007, a 23% increase.  Gross payroll and related expenses remained static with a decrease of 1% from $1,082,460 during the first two quarters of fiscal 2007 to $1,076,165 incurred during the first two quarter of fiscal 2008.  During the first two quarters of fiscal 2007, $316,821 of total payroll related expenses was capitalized as software development costs, in accordance with SFAS 86, reducing development expense by the same amount capitalized, which reduced the total expensed in this category by the same amount in the prior year period.  There were no software development costs capitalized in the first two quarters of 2008.


Selling and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $406,827 compared to $645,963 incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2007, a 37% decrease.  Expenses related to consultants, communication, conferences and tradeshows, and travel & entertainment expenses decreased from $360,854

 
31

 

incurred during the first two quarter of fiscal year 2007 to $140,223 incurred during the first two quarter of fiscal year 2008 due to cost reduction efforts implemented in order to conserve cash.  


Other income and expense

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, other income and expense was a loss of $439,658 compared to a loss of $9,631 during the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $430,027.  The increase in other income and expense was primarily due to the write down of the remaining balance of capitalized software development costs ($432,656) to nil during the second quarter of fiscal 2008, while the remaining balance was contributed to a foreign currency transaction exchange loss ($7,002).  Comparatively, during the six months ended June 30, 2007, other income and expense was a loss of $9,631, consisted entirely of a foreign currency transaction exchange loss.


Interest income

Interest income is derived from investing unused cash balances in short-term liquid investments.  Average cash balances during the first two quarter of fiscal year 2008 were lower than during the first two quarter of fiscal year 2007, resulting in the lower level of interest income of $15,658 during the first six months of fiscal year 2008 versus $94,995 earned during the first six months of fiscal year 2007.


Interest expense

Interest expense increased from $464 during the first two quarter of fiscal year 2007, to $234,320 during the first two quarter of fiscal year 2008, an increase of $233,856.  This increase is due to interest expense related to the issuance of debt in November 2007.  Actual interest accrued or paid for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2008 was $120,000, while amortization of the debt discount in the amount of $114,320 contributed to the remainder of this amount for the six month period ended June 30, 2008.


Foreign currency translation adjustment

Prior period retained earnings on Innovations’ books are translated at historical exchange rates while the rest of the financial statement line items are translated at current period rates.  The resulting difference is treated as gain or loss due to foreign currency translation during the period.  During the first two quarter of fiscal 2008 there was a gain of $5,097 and during the first two quarter of fiscal 2007 there was a loss of $24,845.  These exchange translation amounts were directly related to revaluation of the Innovation’s books to our U.S. dollar functional reporting currency.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2008, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $548,102 held in current and short-term deposit accounts.  We believe that based on our current level of spending and the current level of cash receipts, this cash will only be sufficient to fund our current level of operating expenses until prior to the end of August 2008.  We have been actively pursuing potential financing or other transaction options for the Company to raise additional funds.  We are in the final stages of negotiating an agreement, which if effected will have a substantial effect on our business, operations, financial condition and management.   There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement our plans to raise additional capital on a timely basis and we may have to cease operations.

Because of our limited revenue and cash flow from operations, we have depended primarily on financing transactions to support our working capital and capital expenditure requirements.  Through June 30, 2008, we had accumulated losses of approximately $25.2 million, which were financed primarily through sales of equity securities.  Since our inception in November 2003 through June 30, 2008, we have raised approximately $18 million in equity financing and $3.5 million in debt financing.

In January 2006, we sold 2,307,693 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 1,200,000 shares of our common stock to Shuffle Master for $3.0 million.  The Shuffle Master warrants had an exercise price of $2.025 per share and expired on July 12, 2007 without being exercised.  The sale of these shares and the issuance of the warrants were in connection with the original strategic alliance distribution and licensing agreement between us and Shuffle Master.

In addition, on July 7, 2006, we closed a private placement to accredited investors whereby we sold 16,943,323 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 8,471,657 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.83 per share, subject to downward adjustment if the Company does not meet specified annual revenue targets, for gross proceeds of approximately $9.3 million after payment of commissions and expenses.  As of December 31, 2007, as a result of the Company not meeting the specified annual revenue targets, the exercise price of the warrants was adjusted downwards to $0.40 per share.

On November 28, 2007, the Company completed a private placement of 8.0% convertible notes with 3,333,333 accompanying warrants which had gross proceeds of $3.0 million.  The 2007 Notes have a face value of $3 million, are due on November 28, 2010 and are convertible into 6,666,667 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.45 per share (assuming interest is paid in cash).  The 2007 Warrants are to purchase 3,333,333 shares of common stock and have an exercise price of $0.50 per share and expire five years from the issue date.

The 2007 Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum, payable quarterly on the first of January, April, July, and October with such interest payable in cash, shares of common stock or a combination thereof.  Payment of interest in shares of common stock is subject to certain conditions being met including the existence of a registration statement which has been declared effective by the SEC and which covers the required number of interest shares.

On May 28, 2008, the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Financing Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Shawn Kreloff, Chairman and CEO, and his wife, Victoria Corn (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Investor is willing to lend the Company up to $1,000,000 by one or two installments under unsecured promissory notes that would be convertible into a subsequent financing by the Company.  Each unsecured promissory note would mature in 90 days from the date of issuance of each Note at the rate of 8% per annum accruing from the date of issuance.  On June 17, 2008, Investor funded the first installment of the Agreement in the amount of $471,750 and was issued a Bridge Loan Note for said amount pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.  There is no timing commitment as to the remaining amount under the Bridge Loan Financing Agreement.  The Company believes the commitment for the remaining amount remains valid, although Shawn Kreloff, who was placed on administrative leave on July 16, 2008, has advised the Company that he does not believe he is required to fund the remaining amount.
 
Our working capital at June 30, 2008, was negative $492,513 and our current ratio at June 30, 2008, was approximately 0.6 to 1.  The current ratio is derived by dividing current assets by current liabilities and is a measure used by lending sources to assess our ability to repay short-term liabilities.

Overall, for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, we had a net cash decrease of $1,818,924, attributable primarily to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $2.16 million, offset by the proceeds from the issuance of a short term note of $471,750.  The primary components of our operating cash flows are net loss adjusted for non-cash expenses, such as depreciation and amortization, accretion of the convertible debt discount, stock-based compensation, and the changes in accounts receivable, accrued liabilities and payroll, deferred revenue, and accounts payable.  Cash used in operating activities was $2,217,623 during the first two quarter of fiscal year 2008 versus $2,554,324 during the first two quarter of fiscal year 2007.

There were net capital expenditures of $78,081 during the first two quarter of fiscal 2008 and $78,914 during the first two quarter of fiscal 2007.  There were no development costs capitalized during the first two quarter of fiscal 2008 and $316,821 capitalized during the first two quarter of fiscal 2007.  During the second quarter of 2008, the Company determined the remaining capitalized software development costs were subject to impairment and as such the capitalized costs have been fully written off as of June 30, 2008.

As of June 30, 2008, our balance sheet shows long term indebtedness of $2,449,354 which is the value, net of the unamortized debt discount, of the 2007 Notes which have a face value of $3.0 million.

Contractual Obligations and Long-Term Liability
 
The Company leases office space in Toronto, Ontario and Boulder, Colorado which run to February 2012 and September 2010 respectively.  The Company is currently leasing space in New York, New York on a short-term basis under a lease which expires in September 2008, for its corporate headquarters.  In addition, in 2007 we leased approximately 1,000 square feet in Las Vegas, Nevada, for our corporate apartment which was leased on an annual basis until February 2008, at a monthly rent of approximately $2,000. Our frequent trips to Las Vegas made this lease a cost effective way to house our employees during business trips for meetings with our partner Shuffle Master and in connection with GLI certification of our wireless gaming solution.  This lease was not renewed when it expired at the end of February 2008.  In April 2008, the Company opened a small sales office in Las Vegas, Nevada under a short-term lease which runs to September 2008.  The Company intends to renew its Las Vegas lease on substantially the same terms on a short-term basis when the current lease agreement expires.  Office lease expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $94,565 and $101,636, respectively. Office lease expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $208,312 and $212,532, respectively.
 
The Company also leases office and computer equipment.  These leases have been classified as operating leases.  Office and computer equipment lease expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $38,888 and $48,581, respectively.  Office and computer equipment lease expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $78,830 and $76,753, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, we completed a private placement of 8.0% convertible notes with 3,333,333 accompanying warrants which had gross proceeds of $3.0 million.  The 2007 Notes have a face value of $3 million, are due on November 28, 2010, and are convertible into 6,666,667 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.45 per share (assuming interest is paid in cash).  The 2007 Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum, payable quarterly on the first of January, April, July, and October with such interest payable in cash, shares of common stock or a combination thereof.  Payment of interest in shares of common stock is subject to certain conditions being met including the existence of a registration statement which has been declared effective by the SEC and which covers the required number of interest shares.
