NOTE 3 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 14, 2009 (the “Closing Date”), Modavox, Inc. (the "Company" or “Modavox”) and New Aug, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company doing business as Augme Mobile, entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement (“Asset Purchase Agreement”), which Asset Purchase Agreement amended the parties’ previously executed Plan of Reorganization and Stock Purchase Agreement effective as of January 16, 2009 (the “Agreement Date”). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Modavox acquired, as of the same date, one hundred percent (100%) of the business and assets of New Aug, LLC, described below in exchange for a total of 3,666,667 shares of Modavox common stock, 200,000 shares of which were previously issued to New Aug, LLC, as a non-refundable deposit on the sale pursuant to the parties’ Letter of Intent dated November 24, 2008. In addition, as part of the purchase price, Modavox funded $325,000 in operating cash to fund the Augme Mobile business operations for the period commencing on the agreement date and ending on the Closing Date. The 3,666,667 shares represent approximately 7.2% of Modavox's outstanding shares of common stock immediately after closing.
On July 14, 2009, in connection with the acquisition of the assets and business of Augme Mobile as described above, the Company's Board of Directors appointed Anthony Iacovone as Chief Innovation Officer, James Lawson as Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel and Scott Russo as Chief Operations Officer. The Asset Purchase Agreement amended the parties previously executed Plan of Reorganization and Stock Purchase Agreement by, among other things, accelerating acquisition of 100% of the business and assets of New Aug, LLC, and removing the closing contingency which required Modavox to provide $675,000 in additional operating cash.
The initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete at the time the financial statements are issued. The Company is in the process of determining the acquisition-date fair value of the total consideration transferred and the acquisition-date fair value of each major class of consideration.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OUR OPERATIONS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE NOTES TO THOSE STATEMENTS INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT. THIS DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS REFLECTING OUR CURRENT EXPECTATIONS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. ACTUAL RESULTS AND THE TIMING OF EVENTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS DUE TO A NUMBER OF FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE DISCUSSED UNDER BUSINESS- RISK FACTORS NOTED IN OUR FORM 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2009 AS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
OVERVIEW
We provide Internet-based products and services that are built upon patented content targeting and consumer centric content delivery technologies. Historically, we have packaged our technology within products and services that enable Internet television (IPTV), Internet radio broadcasting and advertising with the added ability to target, control and monetize interactive content, thus more effectively monetizing such content, enabling the delivery of intelligent relavant content direct to consumers on any Internet connected device.
With the appointment in April of Mark Severini as our new Chief Executive Officer and the Company's subsequent (July 14, 2009) acquisition of Augme Mobile, described below and in Note 3 ("Subsequent Events") to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we have begun deploying our technology within the mobile advertising marketplace. This is part of our overall strategy to expand our ability to commercialize and monetize our technological assets within the advertising and marketing industries.
Augme Mobile, based in New York City, offers a comprehensive Web-based marketing platform that provides marketers, brands and advertising agencies the ability to create, deliver, manage and track interactive marketing campaigns targeting mobile consumers (users of mobile phones and portable digital devices) through traditional print advertising channels. Augme Mobile's fully integrated AD LIFE mobile marketing platform is intended to fulfill the advertiser's need to offer interactive multimedia mobile content, while simultaneously satisfying the consumer's desire for easier and more robust mobile connectedness.
Mr. Severini, who has an extensive advertising and marketing background, joined the Company in April, from his position as Chief Marketing Officer at Augme Mobile, in anticipation of the closing of the Augme Mobile transaction and in order to accelerate integration of the Augme Mobile business in the Company's operations. We anticipate that Augme Mobile's AD LIFE platform, along with the brank and channel relationships, will enhance our ability to create, promote and distribute unique mobile destinations with patented targeting capability. This immediate presence in the mobile consumer market complements our current efforts with online targeting advertising, bringing together a comprehensive strategy that fully leverages our core technologies.
In July, 2009, three executives from Augme Mobile, as described in Note 3 ("Subsequent Events") to the Consolidated Financial Statements, also joined the Company. Our new management team is focused on making the Company an integral component for the targeting of advertising, both online and over mobile devices and platforms.
During the three months ended May 31, 2009, we provided our services through two operating divisions; Network Broadcasting division and the Interactive Products division. Commencing with our acquisition of the assets and business of Augme Mobile on July 14, 2009, we added a third operating division, Mobile Solutions.
The Network Broadcasting division is a pioneering initiative, and through it Modavox has become the recognized leader in producing and distributing Internet talk radio. Modavox has been producing global Internet Radio since 1997. BoomBox® Radio was the original Internet broadcasting offering that included targeted advertising and supported a 64 channel Internet Radio network. That was followed by a business operation shift from music to Internet Talk Radio that the Company began broadcasting in 2001 from www.voiceamerica.com. The Company’s network operation has moved into video and our new BoomBox Video® platform has been combined with our BoomBox Radio® platform. This allows us to provide a turn-key solution for Modavox customers and Modavox powered destinations that are focused on delivering Internet Television and Internet Radio broadcasting solutions.

Revenues in the Network Broadcasting division are primarily generated from two sources; Fees paid by internet talk radio hosts and advertising sponsorship revenue sharing. Internet Talk radio hosts generally purchase thirteen weeks or more of broadcasting production on the BoomBox® Radio platform and distribution within the established Internet talk radio destinations owned and operated by Modavox. VoiceAmerica™ and World Talk Radio™ brands both provide targeted networks that are organized by genre and are completely searchable, and syndication enabled.
Each show produced by Modavox is one-hour in length, and broadcasts live commercial content between six to eight minutes allocated by each show. There is also visual real estate created by each new show with Modavox destination sites for banner, multimedia and interactive advertising sales.

Results of Operations
The discussion of the results of operations compares the quarter ended May 31, 2009 with the quarter ended May 31, 2008, and is not necessarily indicative of the result which may be expected for any subsequent period. Our prospects should be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies in similar positions. We may not be successful in addressing these risks and difficulties.
Three Months Ended May 31, 2009 vs. 2008
For the quarter ended May 31, 2009, revenues were $521,325 compared to $860,635 for the quarter ended May 31, 2008, a decrease of 39%. The decrease in overall revenues is partially due to the current economic environment and the refocusing of our products within the Interactive Products division. Revenues for the quarter ended May 31, 2009 included $45,385 from the Interactive Products Division compared to $168,360 for the quarter ended May 31, 2008, and $475,940 from the Network Broadcasting Division compared to 692,275 for the quarter ending May 31, 2008. Hosting fees related to our Interactive Products Division were $13,075 for the quarter ended May 31, 2009 compared to $81,938 for the quarter ending May 1, 2008. The decrease in revenue is related to the volume of contracts associated with our Interactive Agency, related hosting fees, as well as the decrease in contracts associated with the Network Broadcasting Division.
Production and service delivery costs were $186,028 for the May 31, 2009 quarter compared to $252,145 in the quarter ended May 31, 2008 reflecting expense decreases related to the continued decreasing costs related to telecommunications and the cost of hosting our content.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $1,357,105 for the quarter ended May 31, 2009 compared with $753,350 for the quarter ended May 31, 2008, an increase of 80%. The increased expenses primarily consisted of; approximately $174,500 of increased noncash stock option expense, approximately $97,000 due to increased staffing and employee benefits, approximately $95,000 related to an advertising initiative, and approximately $157,000 of increased professional fees related to investor relations, accounting, and other consulting fees. Approximately $513,000 of the total selling, general, and administrative expenses for the quarter ended May 31, 2009, were noncash in nature and consisted of the fair value accounting for stock options and certain expenses that were paid with shares of common stock of the Company.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $237,126 in the 2009 quarter compared with $186,207 in the 2008 quarter. Amortization expense increased to $153,312 for the quarter ending May 31, 2009 compared to $128,130 for the quarter ending May 31, 2008. Depreciation expense for the quarter ending May 31, 2009 increased to $83,814 compared to $58,077 for the quarter ending May 31, 2008. The increase in depreciation and amortization relates to the increased capitalization of internal software and for the accounting related to the WorldTalk Radio and Kino Interactive acquisitions.
During the quarter ended May 31, 2009, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,258,750 compared to a net loss of $327,142 in the prior year quarter. The $931,608 increase in the net loss is a result of decreased revenues and the increased expenses as described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During quarter ending May 31, 2009, we raised $889,227 of capital through the sale of unregistered shares of common stock and the issuance of common stock in connection with the exercise of options and warrants by the holders of those securities.
As of May 31, 2009, we had a cash balance of $371,980 and we used cash of $838,487 to fund our operating activities during the quarter. We do not believe that our current liquidity is adequate to fund our current operations and we will need to raise additional funds from the sale of shares of our common stock. Due to the sustained and substantial progress in the procurement of the necessary funding required to meet our operating and overall corporate expenditures, and the resolution of multiple cost intensive legacy legal related matters, we believe that we will have enough cash flow from operations and financing activities to support our business for the next twelve months. We have had substantive discussions with existing warrant holders and/or prospective financing sources, which leads us to believe that we will have the capital necessary to not only maintain current operations, but also to develop and implement a growth strategy in our core businesses and ensure a vigorous effort in protecting our intellectual property. That said, current market conditions for raising capital are difficult and volatile, and no assurances can be made that we will be successful in raising additional financing on terms that are acceptable to the Company or at all.
Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements that have been made pursuant to the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management's beliefs, and certain assumptions made by management. Words such as "anticipate," "expect," "intend", "plans," "believe," "seek," "estimate" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual actions or results may differ materially. These statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including those noted in the documents incorporated herein by reference. Particular attention should also be paid to the cautionary language appearing elsewhere in this report. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by law. Readers should, however, carefully review the risk factors included in other reports or documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in our Annual Report Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended February 28, 2009.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act") is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. As of the end of the period covered by this Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as our Principal Financial Officer and our Corporate Controller of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective because of the identification of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures. The material weakness relates to the lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting, as our financial reporting and several of our accounting functions are performed by internal employees with limited oversight by a professional with accounting expertise. Our Chief Executive Officer is not a Certified Public Accountant.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of the last fiscal year, and continuing into the new fiscal year, the Company has taken tangible steps to address certain deficiencies in disclosure controls and procedures. This includes adding two new members to the Board of Directors with extensive experience in accounting and financial operations; Shelly Meyers, Chairwoman and John Devlin, Board Member. The Company also recently retained the services of a financial consultant, who is also a Certified Public Accountant, to advise them on finance and accounting matters and to help improve processes and procedures. The Company is committed, under Board direction, to ensure that adequate disclosure controls and procedures are in place. The Company fully intends to remedy our existing control deficiencies, including hiring the necessary personnel, subject to having adequate finances may be needed to address our internal control weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting other than as set forth above.
Other than as set forth above, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended May 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On May 16, 2008, Modavox issued a Cease and Desist letter to the AOL, LLC President & Chief Operating Officer. We advised of the possible expansion of our current action against Tacoda to include AOL, LLC if they intended to utilize the Tacoda Advertising process throughout the AOL, LLC “Platform A” as described in recent publications and news releases. We informed AOL, LLC that a non-exclusive license to the patents-in-suit is available; however in the absence of a license AOL, LLC’s published intention to make the Tacoda solution available across the Platform-A Network would in fact infringe upon well identified patents.
On May 23, 2008, we issued a Cease and Desist letter to AOL, LLC related to our Trademark Registration No. 2,397,385 for the word-mark BOOMBOX RADIO in connection with “entertainment services featuring music, news, talk shows, video and computer games, movies, and television shows, provided via a global computer network”. The use of BOOMBOX for entertainment services is believed by management to be an infringement of its rights in the BOOMBOX RADIO mark for identical services. AOL’s use of the near identical mark may cause confusion or deceive the public into thinking AOL’s services originate or are somehow related to ours, or have the sponsorship or approval of Modavox. This threat is reinforced by the adoption of the large dominant BOOMBOX cursive. The remedies available to us include an injunction or court order prohibiting use of the mark, an award of profits from use of the mark, monetary damages above and beyond profits, seizure, impoundment and destruction of any infringing forms, documents, signage, literature, and material bearing the mark, and costs of the action. On September 10, 2008, we filed a complaint against AOL, LLC at the U.S. District Court, Central District of California, for infringement of our trademark BOOMBOX RADIO. On January 21, 2009, we filed a First Amended Complaint against AOL, LLC, Time Warner, Inc. and Platform-A, Inc., for trademark infringement relating to our word-mark BOOMBOX RADIO and infringement of our U.S. Patent Nos. 6,594,691 and 7,269,636. Per court order dated April 14, 2009, the case was transferred to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, where our complaint against Tacoda, Inc. for infringement of our U.S. Patent Nos. 6,594,691 and 7,269,636 is pending. As of July 20, 2009, the AOL action has been assigned to a new judge in the New York District Court and remains unresolved as does the action against Tacoda.
On June 6, 2008, we issued a Cease and Desist letter to Sirius Satellite Radio related to our Trademark Registration No. 2,397,385 for the word-mark BOOMBOX RADIO in connection with “entertainment services featuring music, news, talk shows, video and computer games, movies, and television shows, provided via a global computer network”. The use of BOOMBOX for entertainment services is believed by management to be an infringement of our rights in the BOOMBOX RADIO mark for identical services. Sirius Satellite Radio’s use of the near identical mark may cause confusion or deceive the public into thinking Sirius services originate or are somehow related to ours, or have the sponsorship or approval of Modavox. This threat is reinforced by the adoption of the large dominant BOOMBOX cursive. The remedies available to us include an injunction or court order prohibiting use of the mark, an award of profits from use of the mark, monetary damages above and beyond profits, seizure, impoundment and destruction of any infringing forms, documents, signage, literature, and material bearing the mark, and costs of the action. As of July 20, 2009, the matter remains unresolved.
On April 28th of 2009, the Company we issued a Cease and Desist letter to Yahoo, Inc. related to our U.S. Patent Nos. 6,594,691 and 7,269,636. The invention described and claimed by these patents relates to methods and systems for delivery of selected content from a network to a web page visitor. Over the past year, Yahoo has been deploying Blue Lithium's technology which involves targeting for Internet marketers and Web site publishers by delivery of ads based upon behavioral, contextual and demographic visitor parameters and preferences and results in customized content delivery accomplished in a manner which Modavox believes falls within the scope of one or more claims of each of the '691 and '636 patents. Accordingly, we have concluded that Yahoo and its Blue Lithium division are infringing one or more claims of both the '691 and the '636 patent. The remedies available to us include an injunction prohibiting any infringing actions, an award of damages adequate to compensate us for the infringement, and costs of the action.
On May 5, 2009, Modavox's counsel was contacted by in-house counsel for Yahoo, who requested the opportunity to respond to the letter and discuss this matter with Modavox's counsel after her return from prior scheduled litigation and calendared commitments aways from the office. Based on that conversation and a subsequent one, Modavox's counsel granted an extension to Yahoo until the end of the first week of July 2009. Modavox's counsel was contacted by Yahoo counsel within the prescribed time frame and Modavox is currently responding to a request by Yahoo to provide certain relevant information and documentation pertaining to Modavox's IP enforcement actions and core business operations. Modavox's counsel expects the continuance of substantive discussions with Yahoo's counsel on this matter while seeking an amicable resolution. As of July 20, 2009, the matter remains unsolved.
