(1) Basis Of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
On June 26, 2006, Innovative Software Technologies, Inc., a California corporation (“Innovative” or the “Company”), completed the acquisition of AcXess, Inc., a Florida corporation (“AcXess”), in a stock exchange transaction (the “Transaction”) pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement by and between Innovative, AcXess, the Shareholders of AcXess, and Anthony F. Zalenski, acting as the Shareholder’s Agent (the “Exchange Agreement”). As a result of the Transaction, AcXess became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Following FAS 141, as governing and operating control of the combined entity is under Mr. Zalenski, AcXess is deemed to be the purchaser in the Transaction for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, reverse acquisition accounting applies whereby AcXess is deemed to have issued its common stock for the net assets or liabilities of Innovative accompanied by a recapitalization of AcXess. For accounting purposes, AcXess is treated as the continuing reporting entity. The fiscal year end of axcess is March 31.
(2) Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During periods when anti-dilutive commons stock equivalents are not considered in the computation.
(3) Stockholders’ (Deficit)
On April 18,2006 the Company issued 200,000 shares of Common Stock with a fair market value of $8,000 for the settlement of an account payable.
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, on June 26, 2006 the shareholders of AcXess exchanged 100% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of AcXess for an aggregate of 11,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
On June 27, 2006 the Company issued 4,377,872 shares of its common stock to holders of $175,115 in AcXess promissory notes to extinguish this debt.
(4) Commitments, Concentrations and Contingencies
(a) Leases:

Rent expense under all operating leases for the period ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, was $25,050 and $-0- respectively. In December 2004 our former subsidiary Triad Media, Inc. entered into a lease for approximately 3,606 square feet in Kansas City, Missouri with a term beginning February 1, 2005 and ending January 31, 2010 and a base rent of $3,756 per month which the Company guaranteed on behalf of Triad Media, Inc. Following the sale of Triad Media in April 2005, the Company accrued for this potential liability which accrual amounted to $59,892 at December 31, 2005. On February 28, 2006, the Company was informed that Triad Media, Inc. had abandoned the premises. In July 2006 we reached an agreement with the landlord to end the lease for a total of approximately $33,000 payable with a payment of $10,000 at signing, and the rest over 5 months.
(b) SEC Investigation:
On June 24, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a formal order of investigation authorizing subpoenas for documents and testimony in connection with the investigation of certain securities matters. On April 8, 2005, the Independent Committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company delivered to the SEC its report based on its internal investigation. The Company has and intends to continue to fully cooperate with the SEC in its investigation.
(c) Litigation:
SEC Investigation
On June 24, 2003 the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued a formal order of investigation, authorizing the investigation of certain securities matters. The SEC staff has taken the testimony of certain officers and has informed us that it intends to take additional testimony. The SEC staff has also issued additional requests for the voluntary production of documents. Prior to the issuance of the order, we had voluntarily provided documents and information to the SEC staff in response to informal, non-public inquiries by the staff. On April 8, 2005, the Independent Committee of the Board of Directors turned over the results of its investigation to the SEC. We intend to continue to fully cooperate with the SEC in its investigation.

Prosper, Inc. Complaint
Subsequent to the spin off of EPMG, as discussed above, the former principals, under the new name of Prosper, Inc. filed a complaint that seeks a refund to the benefit of Prosper of certain reserve funds amounting to $580,000 that are due to former vendors. Under the EPMG Settlement Agreement, we agreed to pay certain reserves potentially owing to third-party vendors upon specified conditions. The lawsuit alleges that we have breached the obligation to pay these reserves, but we contest that the conditions for these payments have been satisfied and/or contest the amounts and payees of the payments that are alleged to be owed by us.
Although we believe that these allegations do not have any merit, if Prosper, Inc. were to prevail in its complaint there would be serious negative financial consequences resulting from utilization of our cash reserves. Moreover, such an action could divert management’s time and efforts away from the business of the Company.
Kansas City Explorers
The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Platte County, Missouri, “Kansas City Explorers vs. Innovative Software” case no. 04CV82050 in which the claimant is seeking money for advertising which it alleges is still due, and have alleged damages of $50,028. The claimant has been court ordered to produce answers to certain discovery requests of the Company which they have failed to produce. Management intends to aggressively defend the claim based upon the lack of contract between the parties, lack of proof of damages, as well as minimal proof of advertising services actually performed for Company products and services.
(5) Convertible Notes and Derivative Instrument Liabilities
Derivative financial instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.
The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments issued to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including the embedded conversion option, that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. In circumstances where the convertible instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument. Also, in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. The Company may also issue options or warrants to non-employees in connection with consulting or other services they provide.
Certain instruments, including convertible debt and equity instruments and the freestanding options and warrants issued in connection with those convertible instruments, may be subject to registration rights agreements, which impose penalties for failure to register the underlying common stock by a defined date. If the convertible debt or equity instruments are not considered to be "conventional", then the existence of the potential cash penalties under the related registration rights agreement requires that the embedded conversion option be accounted for as a derivative instrument liability. Similarly, the potential cash penalties under the related registration rights agreement may require us to account for the freestanding options and warrants as derivative financial instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. In addition, when the ability to physical or net-share settle the conversion option or the exercise of the freestanding options or warrants is deemed to be not within the control of the company, the embedded conversion option or freestanding options or warrants may be required to be accounted for as a derivative financial instrument liability.

INNOVATIVE SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments.
If freestanding options or warrants were issued in connection with the issuance of convertible debt or equity instruments and will be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities (rather than as equity), the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of those freestanding instruments. If the freestanding options or warrants are to be accounted for as equity instruments, the proceeds are allocated between the convertible instrument and those derivative equity instruments, based on their relative fair values. When the convertible debt or equity instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face amount.
To the extent that the fair values of the freestanding and/or bifurcated derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received, an immediate charge to income is recognized, in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value.
The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, usually using the effective interest method. When the instrument is convertible preferred stock, the dividends payable are recognized as they accrue and, together with the periodic amortization of the discount, are charged directly to retained earnings.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed periodically, including at the end of each reporting period. If re-classification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is re-classified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.
In January 2006 the Board of Directors of the Company approved the raising of up to $1,000,000 via the issuance of promissory notes to accredited investors. These notes have a term of one year, are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a 30% discount to a future Qualified Financing (as therein described), and have 20% warrant coverage at a strike price of $0.05. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had raised $400,000 under such notes.
The warrants have been accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities (see below) in accordance with EITF 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed To, and Potentially Settled In, a Company's Own Common Stock" (EITF 00-19). Accordingly, the initial fair value of the warrants, amounting to an aggregate of $21,290 was recorded as a derivative instrument liability. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, based on the market price of the common stock on the dates the Warrants were issued, an expected dividend yield of 0%, a risk-free interest rate based on constant maturity rates published by the U.S. Federal Reserve, applicable to the life of the Warrants, expected volatility of 114%, and the five year life of the Warrants. The Company is required to re-measure the fair value of the warrants at each reporting period.

Because the conversion price of the Convertible Notes is not fixed, the Convertible Notes are not “conventional convertible debt” as that term is used in EITF 00-19. Accordingly, the Company is required to bifurcate and account separately for the embedded conversion options, together with any other derivative instruments embedded in the Convertible Notes.
The conversion option related to each Convertible Note was bifurcated from the Convertible Note and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability (see below). The bifurcated embedded derivative instruments, including the embedded conversion options which were valued using the Flexible Monte Carlo Simulation methodology, were recorded at their initial fair value of an aggregate of $226,190.
The discount from the face amount of the Convertible Notes represented by the value assigned to the Warrants and bifurcated derivative instruments is being amortized over the period to the due date of each Convertible Note, using the effective interest method. Amortization for the period ending June 30, 2006 was $24,173.
A summary of the Convertible Notes and derivative instrument liabilities at June 30, 2006, is as follows:
Convertible Notes; 12% per annum; due December 31, 2006 | $ | 400,000 | ||
Less: unamortized discount related to warrants and bifurcated embedded derivative instruments | (210,798 | ) | ||
Total carrying value at June 30, 2006 | $ | 189,202 |
Derivative financial instrument liabilities
We use the Black-Scholes valuation model to value the Warrants and the embedded conversion option components of any bifurcated embedded derivative instruments that are recorded as derivative liabilities.
In valuing the Warrants and the embedded conversion option components of the bifurcated embedded derivative instruments, at the time they were issued and at June 30, 2006, we used the market price of our common stock on the date of valuation, an expected dividend yield of 0% and the remaining period to the expiration date of the warrants or repayment date of the Convertible Notes. All warrants and conversion options can be exercised by the holder at any time.
Because of the limited historical trading period of our common stock, the expected volatility of our common stock over the remaining life of the conversion options and Warrants has been estimated at 50%. The risk-free rates of return used were based on constant maturity rates published by the U.S. Federal Reserve, applicable to the remaining life of the conversion options or Warrants.

(7) Basis of Reporting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred a loss of $678,363 from inception (January 12, 2005) through June 30, 2006, and has working capital and stockholder deficits of $1,075,084 and $951,675 at June 30, 2006. In addition, the Company currently has minimal revenue generating operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion includes statements that are forward looking in nature. The accuracy of such statements depends on a variety of factors that may affect the business and operations of the Company. Certain of these factors are discussed under “Business - Factors Influencing Future Results and Accuracy of Forward-Looking Statements” included in Part 1 of this report. When used in this discussion, the words “expect(s)”, “feel(s)”, “believe(s)”, “will”, “may”, “anticipate(s)” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from those projected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, and are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB.
Overview
The following discussion summarizes information about our accounting policies and practices and information about our operations in a comparative manner for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
Acquisition of AcXess, Inc.
On June 26, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of AcXess, Inc., a Florida corporation (“AcXess”), in a stock exchange transaction (the “Transaction”) pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement by and between Innovative, AcXess, the Shareholders of AcXess, and Anthony F. Zalenski, acting as the Shareholder’s Agent (the “Exchange Agreement”). As a result of the Transaction, AcXess became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Following FAS 141, as governing and operating control of the combined entity is under Mr. Zalenski, AcXess is deemed to be the purchaser in the Transaction for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, reverse acquisition accounting applies whereby AcXess is deemed to have issued its common stock for the net assets or liabilities of Innovative accompanied by a recapitalization of AcXess. For accounting purposes, AcXess is treated as the continuing reporting entity.
AcXess was formed to provide Business Continuity (“BC”) products and services to the Small and Medium Enterprise (“SME”) market. “Business Continuity” products and services are an advanced form of disaster recovery solutions for electronic data backup wherein the data and/or applications are available immediately upon failure through means of connectivity to remote server locations. Management believes that the North American SME market for BC services (defined as companies with 50 to 5,000 employees) is underserved and that various technologies have matured to a point where the SME market can now be supplied robust BC services which were previously only available to large corporations and at substantial cost.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company's financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
13
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company’s critical accounting policies are discussed in its annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in litigation concerning our business operations. Management believes that the litigation in which we are currently involved is not reasonably likely to be material to its financial condition, results of its operations or its cash flows, other than the litigation noted below.
SEC Investigation
On June 24, 2003 the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued a formal order of investigation, authorizing the investigation of certain securities matters. The SEC staff has taken the testimony of certain officers and has informed us that it intends to take additional testimony. The SEC staff has also issued additional requests for the voluntary production of documents. Prior to the issuance of the order, we had voluntarily provided documents and information to the SEC staff in response to informal, non-public inquiries by the staff. On April 8th, 2005 the Independent Committee of the Board of Directors turned over the results of its investigation to the SEC and we intend to continue to fully cooperate with the SEC in its investigation.
Prosper, Inc. Complaint
Subsequent to the EPMG asset disposition, as discussed above, the former principals, under the new name of Prosper, Inc. filed a complaint that seeks a refund to the benefit of Prosper of certain reserve funds amounting to $580,000 that are due to former vendors. Under the EPMG Settlement Agreement, we agreed to pay certain reserves potentially owing to third-party vendors upon specified conditions. The lawsuit alleges that we have breached the obligation to pay these reserves, but we contest that the conditions for these payments have been satisfied and/or contest the amounts and payees of the payments that are alleged to be owed by us.
Although we believe that these allegations do not have any merit, if Prosper, Inc. were to prevail in its complaint there would be serious negative financial consequences resulting from utilization of our cash reserves. Moreover, such an action could divert management’s time and efforts away from the business of the Company.
Kansas City Explorers
The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Platte County, Missouri, “Kansas City Explorers vs. Innovative Software” case no. 04CV82050 in which the claimant is seeking money for advertising which it alleges is still due, and have alleged damages of $50,028. The claimant has been court ordered to produce answers to certain discovery requests of the Company which they have failed to produce. Management intends to aggressively defend the claim based upon the lack of contract between the parties, lack of proof of damages, as well as minimal proof of advertising services actually performed for Company products and services.
