NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Alternet Systems Inc. (“Alternet” or the “Company”) designs, markets and sells proprietary software and hardware systems known as “SchoolWeb” and “CommunityWeb”. The Company’s products provide high speed Internet access to schools and rural communities, in North America and internationally. The Company also provides Voice over IP services, primarily in Latin America.
The Company was incorporated on June 26, 2000 in the State of Nevada as North Pacific Capital Corp. and was organized for the purpose of creating a corporate vehicle to locate and acquire an operating business. On December 19, 2001, the Company changed its name to Schoolweb Systems Inc. and on May 14, 2002 the Company changed its name to Alternet Systems Inc. (“Alternet” or the “Company”). On November 6, 2000, the Company filed a Form 10SB registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and as a result is subject to the regulations governing reporting issuers in the United States. On March 14, 2003, the Company was listed for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.
By agreement entered into December 31, 2007, Alternet issued 4,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to the shareholders of TekVoice Communications, Inc., a Company incorporated on May 17, 2002 in the State of Florida, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of TekVoice Communications, Inc.
The acquisition resulted in the former shareholders of TekVoice Communications, Inc. acquiring 38.92% of the then outstanding shares of the Company and has been accounted for as a reverse merger with TekVoice Communications, Inc., the legal subsidiary, being treated as the accounting parent and Alternet, the legal parent, being treated as the accounting subsidiary. Accordingly, the consolidated results of operations of the Company include those of TekVoice Communications, Inc. for all periods shown and those of Alternet since the date of the reverse acquisition.

At March 31, 2010 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,497,620. The Company’s continued operations are dependent on the successful implementation of its business plan, its ability to obtain additional financing as needed, continued support from creditors, settling its outstanding debts and ultimately attaining profitable operations.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AI Systems Group, Inc., AI Systems Group (Canada) Ltd., TekVoice Communications, Inc., Alternet Transactions Systems, Inc., and International Mobile Security, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated.

Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 |
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments, with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
Equipment
Fixed assets are recorded at cost and depreciated at the following rates:
Computer equipment and software | - | 30% declining balance basis |
Equipment | - | 20% declining balance basis |
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
Management monitors the recoverability of long-lived assets based on estimates using factors such as current market value, future asset utilization, and future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its investment or use of the related assets. The Company’s policy is to record any impairment loss in the period when it is determined that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Any impairment loss is calculated as the excess of the carrying value over estimated realizable value.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when title transfers or services are rendered. Telecommunications services are billed at the end of the month the services are provided.
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements are presented in United States dollars. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”, foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, the Company has determined the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities approximate carrying value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under a method, which requires the Company to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statements carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. The Company presently prepares its tax returns on the cash basis and financial statement on the accrual basis. No deferred tax assets or liabilities have been recognized at this time, since the Company has shown losses for both tax and financial reporting.
Stock-Based Compensation
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based awards under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25,“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”using the intrinsic value method of accounting, under which compensation expense was only recognized if the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options was less than the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R“Share Based Payments”, using the modified prospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost is recognized for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Results for prior periods have not been restated.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Stock-Based Compensation (continued)
All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Loss per Share
The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including warrants using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As the Company has net losses, no common equivalent shares have been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Risk Management
The Company is exposed to credit risk through accounts receivable and therefore, the Company maintains adequate provisions for potential credit losses.
The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar. The Company operates in foreign jurisdictions, giving rise to exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company's operations that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

Plan of Operation
Over the next year, the Company will be concentrating on marketing its mobile financial transaction and telecommunications platforms, in the telecommunication, public utility, government and financial industries.
Sales and marketing is accomplished through the Company’s existing sales staff, who contact potential clients through personal and agent sales, trade shows and industry associations.
Sales will come from organic growth from its existing operations. The Company may identify in the course of business, strategic acquisition targets.
Company has accomplished the execution of framework agreements with critical vendors, and is in the process of launching its mobile financial and mobile commerce suite of services.
We have also initiated a program to participate in the financial services industry, by enabling cellular phone technologies that will allow customers to make “mobile to mobile”, “mobile to cash” and “mobile to money remittances”.
Demand for our services is driven primarily by mobile subscriber purchasing activity via their cellular phone. The global mobile commerce industry is in its early growth and adoption stages. The drivers for growth are cellular phone penetration, large unbanked population worldwide, user acceptance of the cell phone as a means of payment. Subscriber adoption of new wireless technologies and services can also drive demand for our services due to the resulting increase in interoperability complexities. We believe that as wireless usage expands and complexity continues to increase, the demand for our services will grow.
A structured plan has been defined to close and pursue opportunities. The company has a funnel of potential prospects in different stages of closing. The needs and opportunities of these initial prospects have been identified and we are preparing offers and agreements.
The Company will be updating its marketing material, including web presence and technical information. It will also be focusing on its electronic transaction products, targeting specific vertical industries, specifically the telecom, financial, utilities and transportation sectors.
Currently our sales and business development partners have identified and pursued projects in Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guatemala, Panama, Mexico, Brasil, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Venezuela, Guyana, Haiti, Dominican Republic and the United States.
Although the Company believes that demand exists for its products and services, there can be no assurance that sales will increase in the future. The Company is expected to remain dependent upon debt or equity financing unless revenues from operations grow significantly.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2009
Net Sales
For the three months ended March 31 2010, the Company had $43,365 in sales compared to $89,799 for the corresponding period in 2009. The 50% decrease in sales resulted from a decrease in VoIP telephony sales from the Company’s subsidiary, TekVoice Inc.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $28,873 in the three months ending March 31, 2010 compared to a gross profit of $36,196 in the three month period ending March 31, 2009. This represents an decrease in gross profit of $8,478.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
For the three months ended March 31 2010, the Company had office and general expenses of $12,399, marketing expenses of $0, management and consulting fees of $102,032 professional fees of $6,181 and rent of $3,136. Travel expense was $2,741.
For the corresponding period in 2009 the Company incurred office and general expenses of $13,587; marketing expenses of $847; management and consulting fees of $214,800; $29,310 in professional fees and $8,100 in rent. Rent expense was reduced in the period due to the Company moving to more cost-effective offices. Travel expense increased to $31,106. Accounts payable totalled $1,026,853 at March 31, 2010 compared to accounts payable of $907,353 for the corresponding period in 2009.
Net Loss
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company had a net loss of $326,447 or $(0.02) per share, which was a increase of 13% when compared to the net loss for the corresponding period to March 31 2009 of $294,411 or $(0.01) per share.
Interest and other expenses
The Company had no material interest expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had current assets including cash on hand of $71,887 as at March 31, 2010. The Company also had a net loss of $285,239 during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
The Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,495,633 at March 31 2010. Management of the Company has determined that the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital and achieving increased sales of its products.
Management can give no assurance that any increase in sales will occur in the future and if they do occur, may not be enough to cover the Company’s operating expenses or any other costs. Should this be the case, we would be forced, unless sufficient working capital can be raised, to suspend operations and possibly liquidate the assets and wind up and dissolve the Company.
RISK FACTORS
The Company is exposed to a number of risks, including the following:
The Company may be unable to market and sell its software and sales of its telecommunications products could decline;
The Company has a history of operating its software business at a significant loss;
The Company requires additional equity financing to continue operations and may be unable to obtain this financing;
If further equity financing is obtained, it will dilute the value of existing shareholders’ stock;
The Company has limited working capital with which to continue operations;
The telecom and software industries are extremely competitive and the Company faces competition from more established distributors and producers with greater financial resources and established sales and distribution capabilities;
The Company has a significant number of shares outstanding which may be eligible for resale under Rule 144 and which, if sold, could depress the market price of the Company’s shares;
The profit margins in the telecom industry have been steadily eroding such that, even if it is able to make sales for its products, the Company may be unable to do so at a profitable margin.
We have had negative cash flows from operations. If we are unable to obtain financing inthe amounts and on terms deemed acceptable to us, we may be unable to continue ourbusiness and as a result may be required to scale back or cease operations for our
business, the result of which would be that our stockholders would lose some or all oftheir investment.To date we have had negative cash flows from operations and we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash .We do not expect positive cash flow from operations in the near term and there is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates, or that our sales projections will be realized as estimated. The occurrence of any of the aforementioned events could adversely affect our ability to meet our business plans.We will depend almost exclusively on outside capital to pay for the continueddevelopment of our business.Such outside capital may include the sale of additional stock and/or commercial borrowing. Capital may not continue to be available if necessary to meet these continuing development costs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to us. The issuance of additional equity securities by us would result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable to us, we may be unable to continue our business and as a result may be required to scale back or cease operations for our business, the result of which would be that our stockholders would lose some or all of their investment.
A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise furtherworking capital and adversely impact our operations.
A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because our operations have been primarily financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our continued operations. Any reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and would have a significant negative effect on our business plans and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.We have a history of losses and fluctuating operating results.
There is no assurance that we will operate profitably or will generate positive cash flow in the future. In addition, our operating results in the future may be subject to significant fluctuations due to many factors not within our control, such as the unpredictability of when customers will purchase our products and/or services, the size of customers’ purchases, the demand for our production and/or services, and the level of competition and general economic conditions. If we cannot generate positive cash flows in the future, or raise sufficient financing to continue our normal operations, then we may be forced to scale down or even close our operations.We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to growour business, then we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing businessoperations.
We have limited history of revenues from operations and have limited significant tangible assets. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Our company has a limited operating history and must be considered in the development stage. Our company’s operations will be subject to all the
risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We are in the development stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by enterprises in the development stage. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment in our company.Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's "Penny Stock" regulations, whichmay limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors." The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of, our common stock.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practicerequirements which may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
- Trading in our common shares on the OTC Bulletin Board is limited and sporadic making it difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares or liquidate their investments.
Our common shares are currently listed for public trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. The trading price of our common shares has been subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of our common shares may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with no current business operation. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common shares will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance.
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management's attention and resources.
Because of the early stage of development and the nature of our business, our securitiesare considered highly speculative.
Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the nature of our business and the early stage of its development.
