PAYMENT DATA SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Payment Data Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), has incurred substantial losses since inception, which has led to a deficit in working capital. The Company believes that its current available cash along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet its anticipated cash needs for the foreseeable future.Consequently, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is likely contingent on the Company receiving additional funds in the form of equity or debt financing.The Company is currently aggressively pursuing strategic alternatives in addition to its equity line of credit (see Note 4).alternatives. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities would result in additional dilution to the Company's stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve covenants which could restrict operations or finances. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Co mpany,Company, if at all. If the Company cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, or achieve positive cash flow, it may not be able to continue to exist, conduct operations, grow market share, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, any of which would negatively impact its business, operating results and financial condition. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.2008. Results of operations for interim p eriodsperiods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim periods or the full fiscal year.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

On January 11, 2008, the Company signed an agreement to sell selected patents and patent applications to PCT Software Data, LLC, subject to customary closing conditions. On January 17, 2008, the Company completed the sale and received proceeds of $750,000. The patents and patent applications sold relate to bill payments made with debit and stored value cards. The Company retained a worldwide, non-exclusive license under the patents for use with all current and future customers.

Note 6.4. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic and diluted income (loss) per common share was calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive securities, which consist of stock options and warrants and convertible debt, were excluded from the computation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating diluted income (loss) per common share because their effect was anti-dilutive.

Note 7.5. Related Party Transactions

BeginningAs previously disclosed, in December 2000,2002 the Company pledged as loan guarantees certain funds held as money market funds and certificates of deposit to collateralizerecognized a loss on margin loans guaranteed by it for the following executive officers of the Company: (1) Michael R. Long, then Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer; (2)and Louis A. Hoch, then President and Chief Operating Officer; (3) Marshall N. Millard, then Secretary, Senior Vice President, and General Counsel; and (4) David S. Jones, then Executive Vice President. Mr. Millard and Mr. Jones are no longer employees of the Company. The margin loans were obtained in March 1999 from institutional lenders and were secured by shares of the Company's common stock owned by these officers. The pledged funds were heldOfficer, in the Company’s name in accounts with the lenders that held the margin loans of the officers. The Company's purpose in collateralizing the margin loans was to prevent the sale of its common stock owned by the se officers while it was pursuing efforts to raise additional capital through private equity placements. The sale of that common stock could have hindered the Company's ability to raise capital in such a manner and compromised its continuing efforts to secure additional financing. The highest total amount of funds pledged for the margin loans guaranteed by the Company was approximately $2.0 million. The total balance of the margin loans guaranteed by the Company was approximately $1.3 million at December 31, 2002. At the time the funds were pledged, the Company believed they would have access to them because (a) their stock price was substantial$535,302 and the stock pledged by the officers, if liquidated, would produce funds in excess of the loans payable, and (b) with respect to one of the institutional lenders (who was also assisting the Company as a financial advisor at the time), even if the stock price fell, they had received assurances from that institutional lender that the pledged funds would be made availa ble as needed. During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company requested partial release of the funds for operating purposes, which request was denied by an institutional lender. At that time, their stock price had fallen as well, and it became clear that both institutional lenders would not release the pledged funds since the value of the stock pledged by the officers was less than the loans payable and the officers were unable to repay the loans. In light of these circumstances, the Company recognized a loss on the guarantees of $1,278,138 in the fourth quarter of 2002 and recorded a corresponding payable under related party guarantees on their balance sheet at December 31, 2002 because it became probable at that point that they would be unable to recover their pledged funds. During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the lenders applied the pledged funds to satisfy the outstanding balances of the loans. The total balance of the margin loans guaranteed by the Company was zero at March 31, 2008.





$449,371, respectively. In February 2007, the Company signed employment agreements with Mr. Long and Mr. Hoch that require each to repay his respective obligation to the Company in four equal annual payments of cash or stock or any combination thereof. In December 2007, the Company accepted common stock and stock options valued at $133,826 and $112,343 from Mr. Long and Mr. Hoch, respectively, in satisfaction of their annual payments for 2007 as provided for under their employment agreements.

The common stock accepted from Mr. Long and Mr. Hoch was recorded as treasury stock with a total cost of $36,168. The total amount owed to the Company for the second installment is classified as Related Party Receivable on the Company’s preliminary analysis. The Company has not pursued the outstanding repayment obligation of Mr. Jones because the Company does not consider a recovery attempt to be cost beneficial. In order to attempt a recovery from Mr. Jones, the Company estimates that it would incur a minimum of $20,000 in estimated legal costs with no reasonable assurance of success in recovering his outstanding obligation of approximately $38,000. Because of the limited amount of the obligation, the Company also anticipates difficulty in ret aining counsel on a contingency basis to pursue collection of this obligation.

Overview

We provide integrated electronic payment processing services to merchants and businesses, including credit and debit card-based processing services and transaction processing via the Automated Clearinghouse Network. We also operate an online payment processing service for consumers under the domain name www.billx.com through which consumers can pay anyone. Since inception, we have incurred operating losses each quarter, and as of March 31, 2008,2009, we have an accumulated deficit of approximately $52.2$53.9 million. Our prospects to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of growth, particularly companies in rapidly evolving markets such as electronic commerce. To address these risks we must, among other things, grow and maintain our customer base, implement a successful marketing strategy, continue to maintain and upgrade our technology and trans action-processingtransaction-processing systems, provide superior customer service, respond to competitive developments, attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, and respond to unforeseen industry developments and other factors. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. We believe that our success will depend in large part on our ability to (a) manage our operating expenses, (b) add quality customers to our client base, (c) meet evolving customer requirements and (d) adapt to technological changes in an emerging market. Accordingly, we intend to focus on customer acquisition activities and outsource some of our processing services to third parties to allow us to maintain an efficient operating infrastructure and expand our operations without significantly increasing our fixed operating expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies

General

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United StatesU.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, bad debt, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other so urces. Actualsources. Ac tual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We consider the following accounting policies to be critical because the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change or because the impact of the estimates and assumptions on financial condition or operating performance is material.





Revenue Recognition

Revenue consists primarily of fees generated through the electronic processing of payment transactions and related services, and are recognized as revenue in the period the transactions are processed or when the related services are performed. Merchants may be charged for these processing services at a bundled rate based on a percentage of the dollar amount of each transaction and, in some instances, additional fees are charged for each transaction. Certain merchant customers are charged a flat fee per transaction, while others may also be charged miscellaneous fees, including fees for chargebacks or returns, monthly minimums, and other miscellaneous services. Revenues derived from electronic processing of credit and debit card transactions that are authorized and captured through third-party networks are reported gross of amounts paid to sponsor banks as well as interchange and assessments paid to credit card associations (MasterCard and Visa). Revenue also i ncludesa lso includes any up-front fees for the work involved in implementing the basic functionality required to provide electronic payment processing services to a customer. Revenue from such implementation fees is recognized over the term of the related service contract. Sales taxes billed are reported directly as a liability to the taxing authority, and are not included in revenue.

Reserve for Losses on Card Processing

If, due to insolvency or bankruptcy of the merchant, or for another reason, we are not able to collect amounts from our card processing merchant customers that have been properly "charged back" by the cardholders, we must bear the credit risk for the full amount of the cardholder transaction. We may require cash deposits and other types of collateral from certain merchants to minimize any such risk. In addition, we utilize a number of systems and procedures to manage merchant risk. Card merchant processing loss reserves are primarily determined by performing a historical analysis of our chargeback loss experience and considering other factors that could affect that experience in the future, such as the types of card transactions processed and nature of the merchant relationship with their consumers. This reserve amount is subject to risk that actual losses may be greater than our estimates. At March 31, 2008,2009, our card merchant processing lo ss reserveloss re serve was $209,220.$206,769. We have not incurred any significant chargeback losses to date. Our estimate for chargeback losses is likely to increase in the future as our volume of card-based transactions processed increases.

Bad Debts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability or failure of our customers to make required payments. We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts based on an account-by-account review, taking into consideration such factors as the age of the outstanding balance, historical pattern of collections and financial condition of the customer. Past losses incurred by us due to bad debts have been within our expectations. In 2007,2008, we did not charge any bad debt expense and recorded bad debt write-offs of $5,675$1,749 against our allowance for doubtful accounts. At March 31, 2008,2009, the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $32,000.$30,000. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make contractual payments, additional allowances may be required. Our estimate for bad debt losses is likely to increase in the future as our volume of trans actionstransactions processed increases.

Valuation of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

We assess the impairment of long-lived and intangible assets at least annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors considered important, which could trigger an impairment review, include the following: significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future cash flows; significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy of the overall business; and significant negative industry trends. When management determines that the carrying value of long-lived and intangible assets may not be recoverable, impairment is measured as the excess of the assets’ carrying value over the estimated fair value. No impairment losses were recorded in 20072008 or during the quarter ended March 31, 2008.2009.





Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purposes, as measured by the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are computed with the presumption that they will be realizable in future periods when pre-taxable income is generated. Predicting the ability to realize these assets in future periods requires a great deal of judgment by management. It is our judgment that we cannot predict with reasonable certainty that the deferred tax assets as of March 31, 20082009 will be realized in future periods. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been provided to reduce the net deferred tax assets to $0. At December 31, 2007,2008, we had available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $40.1$41.1 million, which expire beginning in the year 2020.





ResultsWe follow FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of Operations

Our revenues are principally derived from providing integrated electronic payment services to merchants and businesses, including credit and debit card-based processing services and transaction processing viaFASB Statement No. 109,” which requires that only income tax benefits that meet the Automated Clearinghouse Network.“more likely than not” recognition threshold be recognized. We also operate an online payment processing service for consumers under the domain name www.billx.com and sell this service as a private-label application to resellers. Revenues for the quarter endeddo not have any unrecognized income tax benefits at March 31, 2008 increased 36% to $861,745 from $633,196 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The increase from the prior year quarter was primarily attributable to the increase in revenues generated from card-based processing services due to increased transaction volume. The monthly average number of consumers using our billx.com online payment service decreased to 795 in the first quarter of 2008 from 1,009 in the first quarter of 2007. We expect this trend to continue unless our current plan to introduce and establish e nhanced value by offering a prepaid MasterCard in conjunction with our online payment service is successful in generating subscriber growth.

Cost of services includes the cost of personnel dedicated to the creation and maintenance of connections to third-party payment processors and fees paid to such third-party providers for electronic payment processing services. Through our contractual relationships with our payment processors, we are able to process Automated Clearinghouse and debit2009 or credit card transactions on behalf of our customers and their consumers. We pay volume-based fees for debit and credit transactions initiated through these processors, and pay fees for other transactions such as returns, notices of change to bank accounts and file transmission. Cost of services was $682,193 and $524,115 for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase from the prior year quarter was due primarily to the increase in fees related to processing the increased card-based transaction volume.

Stock-based compensation expenses decreased to $215,557 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, from $217,620 for the first quarter of 2007. The change from the prior year quarter was principally due to the absence of signing bonus expense in the first quarter of 2008, as we incurred $107,000 of such expense under executive employment agreements in the prior year quarter. This decrease was partially offset by increases in deferred compensation expenses related to incentive stock grants made to employees in January 2008 and bonus expenses for annual bonuses payable to executives in 2008.

Other selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $392,436 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, from $324,535 for the first quarter of 2007. The increase from the prior year quarter was principally due to annual salary increases for executives called for under their respective employment agreements.

Depreciation and amortization was $18,108 and $17,577 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to asset additions made during 2007. We capitalized $9,246 of computer hardware and software purchased during the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Net other income was $757,956 for the first quarter of 2008 compared to net other expense of $160,904 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The increase from the prior year quarter was primarily attributable to a $750,000 gain on the sale of certain patents in January 2008.

Net income was $311,407 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as compared to a net loss of $611,555 for the prior year quarter, as a result of the items discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2008, we had $545,826 of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $115,597 of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2007. We have incurred substantial losses since inception and have a deficit in net working capital. We believe that our current available cash and cash equivalents along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for the foreseeable future. Consequently, our ability to continue as a going concern may be contingent on us receiving additional funds in the form of equity or debt financing. We are currently aggressively pursuing strategic financing alternatives.

On June 11, 2007, we entered into an agreement for an equity line of credit with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP. Under the terms of the agreement, we may elect to receive as much as $10 million from common stock purchases by Dutchess through August 23, 2012. Through March 31, 2008, we have sold a total of 1,373,913 shares of our common stock pursuant to the equity line of credit and received total proceeds, net of issuance costs, of $70,844.

The satisfactory completion of additional sales of common stock to private investors or under our equity line of credit, borrowing funds, or growth of cash flow from operations is essential to provide sufficient cash flows to meet our current operating requirements. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities would result in additional dilution to our stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants which could restrict our operations or finances. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we





cannot raise funds, on acceptable terms, or achieve positive cash flow, we may not be able to continue to exist, conduct operations, grow market share, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, any of which would negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.

Net cash used in operating activities was $312,162 and $370,930 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to operating losses generated by growth stage activities and overhead costs. We plan to focus on expending our resources prudently given our current state of liquidity.

Net cash provided by investing activities of $740,754 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 resulted from receiving $750,000 in proceeds from the sale of our patents and making capital expenditures for computer hardware and software of $9,246. Net cash used in investing activities of $17,232 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 reflected capital expenditures for computer hardware and software.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $1,637 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 represented the net proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our equity line of credit. Net cash provided by financing activities of $507,605 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 resulted from receiving $924,273 in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock, including $755,000 from private placements, and making payments of $416,668 under our note payable.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.2008.

Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those years. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 allows entities the option to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value as of specified dates. Such election, which may be applied on an instrument by instrument basis, is typically irrevocable once elected. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We did not elect the fair value option for any of its existing financial instruments other than those mandated by other FASB standards; accordingly, the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 159 on our financial statements was immaterial. We have not determined whether or not we will elect this option for financial instruments we may acquire in the future.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements, which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted, but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements -- an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We do not currently have non-controlling interests in any of our subs idiaries.subsidiaries.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” currently establishes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 with enhanced quantitative, qualitative and credit risk disclosures. SFAS 161 requires quantitative disclosures in a tabular format about the fair values of derivative instruments, gains and losses on derivative instruments and information about where these items are reported in the financial statements. Also required in the tabular presentation is a separation of hedging and non-hedging activities. Qualitative disclosures include outlining objectives and strategies for using derivative instr uments in terms of underlying risk exposures, use of derivatives for risk management and other purposes and accounting designation, and an understanding of the volume and purpose of derivative activity. Credit risk disclosures provide information about credit risk related contingent features included in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 also amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to clarify that disclosures about concentrations of credit risk should include derivative adoption. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 161 effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased 5% to $818,816 from $861,745 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease from the prior year quarter was primarily attributable to the loss of our largest credit card processing merchant during the second quarter of 2008. The monthly average number of consumers using our billx.com online payment service decreased to 545 in the first quarter of 2009 from 795 in the first quarter of 2008. We expect this trend to continue unless our current plan to introduce and establish enhanced va lue by offering a prepaid MasterCard in conjunction with our online payment service is successful in generating subscriber growth.

Cost of services includes the cost of personnel dedicated to the creation and maintenance of connections to third-party payment processors and fees paid to such third-party providers for electronic payment processing services. Through our contractual relationships with our payment processors, we are able to process Automated Clearinghouse and debit or credit card transactions on behalf of our customers and their consumers. We pay volume-based fees for debit and credit transactions initiated through these processors, and pay fees for other transactions such as returns, notices of change to bank accounts and file transmission. Cost of services was $694,585 and $682,193 for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase from the prior year quarter was due primarily to the increase in commissions related to processing increased card-based transaction volume through resellers.

Stock-based compensation expenses decreased to $133,650 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, from $215,557 for the first quarter of 2008. The change from the prior year quarter was principally due to approximately $49,000 of expense in the prior year quarter related to incentive stock grants made to employees in March 2005 that were fully amortized at March 31, 2008.

Other selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $414,179 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, from $392,436 for the first quarter of 2008. The increase from the prior year quarter was principally due to annual salary increases for executives called for under their respective employment agreements.

Depreciation and amortization was $9,889 and $18,108 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to lower depreciation expense related to certain assets that became fully depreciated during 2008. We did not make any capital expenditures during the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

There was no net other income for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to net other income of $757,956 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease from the prior year quarter was primarily attributable to a $750,000 gain on the sale of certain patents in January 2008.

Net loss was $436,487 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared to net income of $311,407 for the prior year quarter, as a result of the items discussed above.





Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2009, we had $405,296 of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $103,428 of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2008. We have incurred substantial losses since inception and have a deficit in net working capital. We believe that our current available cash and cash equivalents along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for the foreseeable future. Consequently, our ability to continue as a going concern may be contingent on us receiving additional funds in the form of equity or debt financing. We are currently aggressively pursuing strategic financing alternatives.

On June 11, 2007, we entered into an agreement for an equity line of credit with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP. Under the terms of the agreement, we may elect to receive as much as $10 million from common stock purchases by Dutchess through August 23, 2012. Through March 31, 2009, we sold 1,535,263 shares of our common stock pursuant to the new equity line of credit and received total proceeds, net of issuance costs, of $75,064.

The satisfactory completion of additional sales of common stock to private investors or under our equity line of credit, borrowing funds, or growth of cash flow from operations is essential to provide sufficient cash flows to meet our current operating requirements. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities would result in additional dilution to our stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants which could restrict our operations or finances. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms or achieve positive cash flow, we may not be able to continue to exist, conduct operations, grow market share, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, any of which would negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $301,868 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and cash used in operating activities was $312,162 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Net cash provided by operating activities in 2009 was primarily attributable to the increase in customer deposit payables, which consist of cash held in transit that we collected on behalf of our merchants via the ACH system. Net cash used in operating activities in 2008 was primarily attributable to operating losses generated by growth stage activities and overhead costs. We plan to focus on expending our resources prudently given our current state of liquidity.

There were no cash flows generated by investing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Net cash provided by investing activities of $740,754 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 resulted from receiving $750,000 in proceeds from the sale of our patents and making capital expenditures for computer hardware and software of $9,246.

There were no cash flows generated by financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Net cash provided by financing activities of $1,637 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 represented the net proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our equity line of credit.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Reportquarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 20082009 are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required reasonable as suranceass urance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management. Our disclosure controls and procedures include components of our internal control over financial reporting. Management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is expressed at the level of reasonable assurance that the control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) inInternal Control-Integrated Framework as supplemented by the COSO publication,Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2008 based on these criteria.

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 20082009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.





PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ItemITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

BeginningAs previously disclosed, in December 2000, we pledged as loan guarantees certain funds held as money market funds and certificates of deposit to collateralize2002 the Company recognized a loss on margin loans guaranteed by it for the following executive officers: (1) Michael R. Long, then Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer; (2)and Louis A. Hoch, then President and Chief Operating Officer; (3) Marshall N. Millard, then Secretary, Senior Vice President, and General Counsel; and (4) David S. Jones, then Executive Vice President. Mr. Millard and Mr. Jones are no longer our employees. The margin loans were obtainedOfficer, in March 1999 from institutional lenders and were secured by shares of our common stock owned by these officers. The pledged funds were held in our name in accounts with the lenders that held the margin loans of the officers. Our purpose in collateralizing the margin loans was to prevent the sale of our common stock owned by these officers while we were pursuing efforts to raise additional capital through private equity placements. The sale of that common stock could have hindered our ability to raise capital in such a manner and compromised our continuing efforts to secure additional financing. The highest total amount of funds pledged for the margin loans guaranteed by us was approximately $2.0 million. The total balance of the margin loans guaranteed by us was approximately $1.3 million at December 31, 2002. At the time the funds were pledged, we believed we would have access to them because (a) our stock price was substantial$535,302 and the stock pledged by the officers, if liquidated, would produce funds in excess of the loans payable, and (b) with respect to one of the institutional lenders (who was also assisting us as a financial advisor at the time), even if the stock price fell, we had received assurances from that institutional lender that the pledged funds would be made available as needed. During the fourth quarter of 2002, we requested partial release of the funds for operating purposes, which request was denied by an institutional lender. At that time, our stock price had fallen as well, and it became clear that both institutional lenders would not release the pledged funds. In light of these circumstances, we recognized a loss on the guarantees of $1,278,138 in the fourth quarter of 2002 and recorded a corresponding payable under related party guarantees on our balance sheet at December 31, 2002 because it became probable at that point that we would be unable to recover our pledged funds. During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the lenders applied the pledged funds to satisfy the outstanding balances of the loans. The total balance of the margin loans guaranteed by us was zero at March 31, 2008.$449,371, respectively. In February 2007, we signed employment agreements with Mr. Long and Mr. Hoch that require each to repay his respective obligation to us in four equal annual payments of cash or stock or any combination thereof. In December 2007, we accepted common stock and stock options valued at $133,826 and $112,343 from Mr. Long and Mr. Hoch, each maderespectively, in satisfaction of their annual payments for 2007 as provided for under their employment agreements.

In December 2008, Mr. Long and Mr. Hoch did not pay us the firstsecond annual payment to usinstallment pursuant to their respective employment agreements. We may institute litigation or arbitration in collectionThey each withheld payment of the outstanding repayment obligationsinstallment due because we had deferred payment of their salary increases for 2008 called for under their respective employment agreements. At December 31, 2008, we owed Mr. MillardLong and Mr. Jones,Hoch deferred salary of $110,000 and $100,000, respectively, and Mr. Long and Mr. Hoch owed us $133,825 and $112,343, respectively, for the second installment due by December 31, 2008. On March 30, 2009, we accepted 680,715 shares of our common stock valued at $23,825 and 352,658 shares of our common stock valued at $12,343 from Mr. Long and Mr. Hoch, respectively, in partial satisfaction of their annual payment due to us for 2008 as provided for under their employment agreements. The common stock accepted from Mr. Long and Mr. Hoch was val ued at $0.035 per share, which currentlywas the closing price of our common stock on March 30, 2009. The common stock accepted from Mr. Long and Mr. Hoch was recorded as treasury stock with a total approximately $293,000. Presently,cost of $36,168. The total amount owed to us for the second installment is classified as Related Party Receivable on our balance sheet and was $210,000 at March 31, 2009 and $246,168 at December 31, 2008.

On August 29, 2008, Tara Patrick p/k/a Carmen Electra, commenced legal action against us in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles. On October 7, 2008, we removed that case to the United States District Court for the Central District of California – Los Angeles Division. With respect to the suit, the plaintiff alleges that we violated her rights of publicity and breached the terms of our license agreement with her. The plaintiff alleges and seeks resulting economic, exemplary and punitive damages, interest, attorneys' fees and costs of court. We believe this suit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend ourselves. In addition, on November 14, 2008, we filed a counterclaim against Ms. Patrick in the United States District Court for the Central District of California – Los Angeles Division alleging that she breached the terms of our license agreement with her. We allege and seek to recove r damages arising from Ms. Patrick’s breach of the agreement. As of the date of this report, there have refrained from initiatingbeen no material developments in the suit. The results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. If we fail to prevail in this legal matter, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

On November 12, 2008, we commenced legal action against our former customers Commerce Planet, Inc. and Consumer Loyalty Group, Inc., in the 285thJudicial District Court of Bexar County, Texas. We alleged that they breached the terms of our services agreement with them and sought to recover funds from Mr. Millard because he may have an offsetting claimeconomic damages and attorneys' fees. On January 22, 2009, the Court entered a Default Judgment awarding us actual damages in excessthe amount of his repayment obligation$140,472 and attorney’s fees in the amount of $4,000. We were also awarded all costs of Court and pre-judgment and post-judgment interest as provided by virtue of the deferred compensation clauselaw. We intend to pursue any legal means available to us in his employment agreement based on our preliminary analysis. We have not pursued the outstanding repayment obligation of Mr. Jones because we do not consider a recovery attempt to be cost beneficial. In order to attempt a recovery from Mr. Jones, we estimate that we would incur a minimum of $20,000 in estimated legal costs with no reasonable assurance of success in recovering his outstanding obligation of approximately $38,000. Because of the limited amount of the obligation, we also anticipate difficulty in retaining counsel on a contingency basis to pursue collection ofcollect this obligation. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot presently be determined.judgment.
