M-WISE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008, AND 2007
(UNAUDITED)
1. Description of Business and Going Concern
Description of Business
M-Wise, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that develops interactive messaging platforms for mobile phone-based commercial applications, transactions, and information services with internet billing capabilities.
The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, m-Wise Ltd., is located in Israel and was incorporated in 2000 under the laws of Israel.
Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced recurring losses since inception, and has negative cash flows from operations with negative working capital that raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company experienced net losses of $550,480 (2007 - $536,891) and a working capital deficit of $616,150 (December 31, 2007 - $405,993).
The Company is in an industry where operational fluctuation is usually higher than other ordinary industries. The accompanying financial statements reflect management’s current assessment of the impact to date of the economic situation on the financial position of the Company. Actual results may differ materially from management’s current assessment.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is also contingent upon its ability to secure additional financing, continuing sale of its products, and attaining profitable operations.
The Company is pursuing additional financing, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure financing when needed or obtain financing on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and their basis of application is consistent with that of the previous year. Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant:
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
M-WISE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008, AND 2007
(UNAUDITED)
The interim financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2008, and 2007, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, and 2007, are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, and 2007. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the calendar year ending December 31, 2008. The accompanying financial statements and notes thereto do not reflect all disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Refer to m-Wise’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2007, filed with the SEC for additional information, including significant accounting policies.
Reporting Currency
A majority of the Company’s revenues are generated in U.S. dollars. In addition, a substantial portion of the Company’s costs are incurred in U.S. dollars. Management has determined that the U.S. dollar will be used as the Company’s functional and reporting currency.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the operations of m-Wise Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Short-term Investment
Short-term investment is carried at quoted market value and consists of a term deposit.
Equipment and Depreciation
Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets and is provided using the undernoted annual rates and methods:
Furniture and equipment | 6-15% | Straight line |
Computer equipment | 33% | Straight line |
Leasehold improvements | Straight line over the term of the lease. |
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenues from product sales, licensing, customer services, and technical support.
Revenues from products sales are recognized on a completed-contract basis, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 101”), Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” and Statement of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts.” The Company has primarily short-term contracts whereby revenues and costs in the aggregate for all contracts is expected to result in a matching of gross profit with period overhead or fixed costs similar to that achieved by use of the percentage-of-completion method. Accordingly, financial position and results of operations would not vary materially from those resulting from the use of the percentage-of-completion method. Revenue is recognized only after all three stages of deliverables are complete; installation, approval of acceptance test results by the customer, and when the product is successfully put into real-life application. Customers are billed, according to individual agreements, a percentage of the total contract fee upon completion of work in each stage; approximately 40% for installation, 40% upon approval of acceptance tests by the customer, and the balance of the total contract price when the software is successfully put into real-life application. The revenues, less its associated costs, are deferred and recognized on completion of the contract and customer acceptance. Amounts received for work performed in each stage are not refundable.
M-WISE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008, AND 2007
(UNAUDITED)
On-going service and technical support contracts are negotiated separately at an additional fee. The technical support is separate from the functionality of the products, which can operate without on-going support.
Technology license revenues are recognized in accordance with SAB No. 101 at the time the technology and license is delivered to the customer, collection is probable, the fee is fixed and determinable, a persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, no significant obligation remains under the sale or licensing agreement, and no significant customer acceptance requirements exist after delivery of the technology.
Revenues relating to customer services and technical support are recognized as the services are rendered ratably over the period of the related contract.
The Company does not sell products with multiple deliverables. It is management’s opinion that EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” is not applicable.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
SFAS No. 105, “Disclosure of Information About Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentration of Credit Risk” (“SFAS No. 105”), requires disclosure of any significant off-balance sheet risk and credit risk concentration. The Company does not have significant off-balance sheet risk or credit concentration. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with major Israel financial institutions.
The Company provides credit to its clients in the normal course of its operations. Depending on their size, financial strength, and reputation, customers are given credit terms of up to 60 days. The Company carries out, on a continuing basis, credit checks on its clients and maintains provisions for contingent credit losses which, once they materialize, are consistent with management’s forecasts.
M-WISE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008, AND 2007
(UNAUDITED)
For other debts, the Company determines, on a continuing basis, the probable losses and sets up a provision for losses based on the estimated realizable value.
Concentration of credit risk arises when a group of clients having a similar characteristic such that their ability to meet their obligations is expected to be affected similarly by changes in economic or other conditions. The Company does not have any significant risk with respect to a single client.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. As of September 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Loss per Common Share
The Company calculates net loss per share based on SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. An entity would report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The decision about whether to elect the fair value option is applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions; the decision is irrevocable; and it is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. The statement requires disclosures that facilitate comparisons (a) between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities and (b) between assets and liabilities in the financial statements of an entity that selects different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157. Upon implementation, an entity shall report the effect of the first re-measurement to fair value as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Since the provisions of SFAS No. 159 are applied prospectively, any potential impact will depend on the instruments selected for fair value measurement at the time of implementation. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2008, AND 2007
(UNAUDITED)
On May 2, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation FIN No. 48-1, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation 48” (“FIN No. 48-1”). FIN No. 48-1 amends FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” to provide guidance on how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. The guidance in FIN No. 48-1 shall be applied upon the initial adoption of FIN No. 48. Accordingly, the Company has applied the provisions of FIN 48-1 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN No. 48-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In September 5, 2007, the FASB published Proposed FSP No. APB 14-a, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion” (FSP No. APB 14”). The proposed FSP applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under SFAS No. 133. Convertible debt instruments within the scope of the proposed FSP are not addressed by FSP No. APB 14. Therefore, the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments within the scope of the proposed FSP shall be separately accounted for in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. This will require an allocation of the convertible debt proceeds between the liability component and the embedded conversion option (i.e., the equity component). The difference between the principal amount of the debt and the amount of the proceeds allocated to the liability component would be reported as a debt discount and subsequently amortized to earnings over the instrument’s expected life using the effective interest method. The management of the Company is currently reviewing the impact, if any, of the proposed FSP if it were to be adopted.
In November 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus on the Emerging Issues Task Forces (“EITF”) Issue 07-01, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (“EITF 07-01”). EITF 07-01 requires collaborators to present the results of activities for which they act as the principal on a gross basis and report any payments received from (made to) other collaborators based on other applicable GAAP or, in the absence of other applicable GAAP, based on analogy to authoritative accounting literature or a reasonable, rational, and consistently applied accounting policy election. Further, EITF 07-01 clarified that the determination of whether transactions within a collaborative arrangement are part of a vendor-customer (or analogous) relationship subject to Issue 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer.” EITF 07-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The management of the Company has not yet completed its evaluation of EIFT 07-01 on the consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). This statement replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, including those arising from contractual contingencies, any contingent consideration, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the statement. SFAS No. 141(R) also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with SFAS No. 141(R)). In addition, SFAS No. 141(R)’s requirement to measure the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value will result in recognizing the goodwill attributable to the noncontrolling interest in addition to that attributable to the acquirer. SFAS No. 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109 to require the acquirer to recognize changes in the amount of its deferred tax benefits that are recognizable because of a business combination either in income from continuing operations in the period of the combination or directly in contributed capital, depending on the circumstances. It also amends SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”), to, among other things, provide guidance on the impairment testing of acquired research and development intangible assets and assets that the acquirer intends not to use.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements— an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 also changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented by requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal periods, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The management of the Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 could have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) on SFAS No. 140-3, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions” (“FSP SFAS No. 140-3”). The objective of this FSP is to provide guidance on accounting for a transfer of a financial asset and a repurchase financing. This FSP presumes that an initial transfer of a financial asset and a repurchase financing are considered part of the same arrangement (linked transaction) under SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 140”). However, if certain criteria are met, the initial transfer and repurchase financing shall not be evaluated as a linked transaction and shall be evaluated separately under SFAS No. 140. FSP SFAS No. 140-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within these fiscal years. Earlier application is not permitted. The management of the Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any, the proposed guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2008, FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13,” (“FSP SFAS No. 157-1”). FSP SFAS No. 157-1 amends SFAS No. 157 to exclude FASB No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” and other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement under FASB No. 13. However, this scope exception does not apply to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that are required to be measured at fair value under FASB No. 141, “Business Combinations,” or FASB No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations,” regardless of whether those assets and liabilities are related to leases. This FSP shall be effective upon the initial adoption of SFAS No. 157.

In February 2008, FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP SFAS No. 157-2”). FSP SFAS No. 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement,” to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management of the Company is currently reviewing the affect, if any, the proposed guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 enhances required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including enhanced disclosures regarding how: (a) an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”; and (c) derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Specifically, SFAS No. 161 requires:
§ | Disclosure of the objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation; |
§ | Disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format; |
§ | Disclosure of information about credit-risk-related contingent features; and |
§ | Cross-reference from the derivative footnote to other footnotes in which derivative-related information is disclosed. |
SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Earlier application is encouraged. The management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP SFAS No. 142-3”). FSP SFAS No. 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognizable intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”). The intent of FSP SFAS No. 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognizable intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R), “Business Combinations,” and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. FSP SFAS No. 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of FSP SFAS No. 142-3 will have an impact on its financial position or results of operations.

On May 26, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts” (“SFAS No. 163”). SFAS No. 163 clarifies how FASB Statement No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises” (“SFAS No. 60”), applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts.
The accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 163 are intended to improve the comparability and quality of information provided to users of financial statements by creating consistency. Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under SFAS No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises.” That diversity results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred under FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” (“SFAS No. 5”). SFAS No. 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also requires disclosure about (a) the risk-management activities used by an insurance enterprise to evaluate credit deterioration in its insured financial obligations and (b) the insurance enterprise’s surveillance or watch list.
SFAS No. 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities. Disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities are effective the first period beginning after issuance of SFAS No. 163. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2008, FASB issued FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4, “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161” (FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4”). FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 amends FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to require disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives, including credit derivatives embedded in a hybrid instrument. FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 also amends FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” to require an additional disclosure about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a guarantee. Further, FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 clarifies the Board’s intent about the effective date of FASB Statement No. 161. “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 is effective for reporting periods (annual or interim) ending after November 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 will have no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In October 2008, FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active,” (“FSP SFAS 157-3”). FSP SFAS 157-3 clarifies the application of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP SFAS 157-3 is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any; the proposed guidance will have on its financial statements.

The stock options have not been included in the calculation of the diluted earnings per share as their affect would be anti-dilutive.
8. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”). This standard prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates. The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated.
Under SFAS No. 109, income taxes are recognized for the following: a) amount of taxes payable for the current year, and b) deferred tax liabilities and assets for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. Management determined that the values of its assets and liabilities recorded for financial reporting purposes are not materially different from their values for income tax purposes, and therefore, no deferred tax assets/liabilities have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements to account for the temporary differences.
The Company has deferred income tax assets as follows:
| | 2008 | | 2007 | |
| | | | | |
Loss carryforwards | | $ 2,922,000 | | $ 2,686,000 | |
Less - Valuation allowance | | | (2,922,000 | ) | | (2,686,000 | ) |
Total net deferred tax assets | | $ | - | | $ | - | |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, and 2007, the Company provided a valuation allowance equal to the deferred income tax assets because it is not presently more likely than not that they will be realized.
As of September 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $11,553,000 in tax loss carryforwards in the United States. Tax loss carryforwards in the United States, if not utilized, will expire in 20 years from the year of origin as follows:

OVERVIEW
We were incorporated in February 2000, and commenced operations immediately thereafter. We initially primarily provided pan-European wireless application service provider operations by hosted MOMA Platform services to customers in the United Kingdom, Spain, France and Italy. We established data centers in Spain, Italy, and France that were connected to our main data center in the United Kingdom. We had connectivity and billing arrangements with cellular operators that enabled us to provide our hosted services. We gained strong credibility and experience as a wireless application service provider during calendar years 2000 and 2001, while we continued to build and develop our wireless middleware product. However, due to the high costs and low revenues in the European wireless application service provider (ASP) market, in 2002, our management decided to transition our focus away from pan-European wireless application service providers, toward installing and licensing our middleware technology at cellular operators and wireless application service providers worldwide, and to operate through original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and regional sales representatives to sell our products. Our shift away from hosted wireless application services using our Platform enabled us to focus more on the core middleware benefits of our technology in fiscal 2002.
During calendar 2002, we channeled our research and development efforts to enhance and update our middleware technology to interface with advanced and emerging wireless technologies such as MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service - delivery of highly enhanced images and audio files) and J2ME, which utilizes Java programming technology built into certain cellular phones, enables applications to be written once for a wide range of devices, to be downloaded dynamically, and to leverage each device’s native capabilities. We also upgraded our middleware platform to incorporate modules for application deployment and management, for centralized management of multiple value added services and multiple third-party content and media providers, and for managing increased data traffic and real-time billing and reporting requirements. In addition, we restructured our sales efforts toward establishing distribution channels via OEMs and partnerships with major IT vendors and system integrators. In fiscal 2003, we had to direct our research and development resources in an effort to respond to specific business opportunities that were introduced to us by our distributors and original equipment manufacturers, and to be able to meet our customers’ enhanced requirements in elements such as increased transactions volume support and new J2ME possibilities.
During calendar 2004, we followed the market evolution with respect to the enhanced ability to deliver downloadable content directly to mobile phones and invested significant research and development efforts to comply with such new market trends. We substantially improved the MOMA Platform mobile content management abilities, especially with respect to content adaptation to a growing number and types of mobile handsets, and connectivity between the MOMA platform and content presentation layers such as Internet and WAP interfaces. We also concluded sales agreements with new wireless operators and wireless application service provider clients, and at the same time, improved our product positioning in the market.
During calendar year 2005, we continued to follow-up with the rapid changes in the mobile entertainment market, especially with the growing introduction of enhanced mobile entertainment services through the third generation infrastructure for wireless services, and the continuous development of wireless handsets and their ability to present higher levels of multi media. We invested significant research and development efforts in complying with these changes, and indeed, the delivery of enhanced mobile entertainment services became a central part of the MOMA Platform functionalities. We also identified a growing trend in the market that many potential customers prefered to outsource platform functionalities to service providers (ASPs) rather than to purchase platform and install on site (Customer Premises Model) and we invested significant funds and efforts in the infrastructure that was required for this ASP model. During 2006, we invested extensive efforts in establishing our customer base and expanding our distribution channels, by enhancing our technology and expanding the terms and scope of our relationships with our customers.
In calendar year 2007, we have been able to acquire prestige and market leaders customers and strengthen the profit share model that we began developing in 2005. We signed profit share based deals with News International, part of the News Corp group, to deliver mobile entertainment services in conjunction of leading UK newspapers The Sun and The Times. We signed a profit share based deal with Telcogames, a leading mobile games company to provide a hosted environment for the delivery of their services to their customers. This deal expanded the reach of our technology and it made it available to the large market of mobile games provider which we actively pursue. We signed a deal with Arvato Mobile, part of the great media group Bertelsmann and one of the largest leaders in mobile entertainment worldwide, to provide large variety of mobile content management and delivery services on a profit share model. We have also strengthened our relationship with existing customers such as Thumbplay, SupportComm, Logia Mobile and Interchan (formerly Comtrend) by providing the needed support and technical expertise to their expansion and expanding the basis for cooperation. We clearly see that the business shift made in 2005 from a license model to profit share model is starting to bear the desired fruits by generating a stable business environment for recurring revenues and consistently increasing profitability. In 2007 we made considerable business development investments in the penetration into the US market and the establishment of a local sales and marketing presence. We are starting to see positive results for these efforts in calendar 2008 in a manner that will ensure the continuous growth of the Company.
Revenues
Our revenues grew 41% from $1,442,487 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $2,037,757 in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and from $2,230,264 in the year ended December 31, 2006 to $2,295,260 in the year ended December 31, 2007. Management believes that our efforts to refocus our resources towards building relationships with OEMs may yield additional contracts. Although we are currently involved in negotiations for several new contracts there can be no assurance that such contracts will be secured or that they will generate significant revenue. We derive revenues from product sales, licensing, revenue share, customer services and technical support.
When we license our MOMA Platform solutions to our customers, we generate revenues by receiving a license payment, ongoing support fees which are typically 15% of the annual license payment, and professional service fees which are generated from our customers’ request for additional training, IT administration and tailoring of our products for their specific needs. When we license our products to our customers, we install our product at a location specified by our client. We also derive revenue through our hosted services, whereby we enable customers to remotely use features of our MOMA Platform (such as a mobile content sales and delivery service for ring tones and color images), which is installed and hosted at our location, and receive a set-up fee for launching the services for them, as well as a portion of our customer's revenues generated through our platform. When we provide hosted services, we maintain the MOMA Platform at our location on behalf of our customer.
Geographical breakdown. We sell our products primarily to customers in America and Europe. For the nine months Ended September 30, 2008, we derived 73% of our revenues from sales in America, 21% from sales in Europe and 6% from sales in the Far East. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we derived 65% of our revenues from sales in America, 17% from sales in Europe and 18% from sales in the Far East. Of these revenues, 98% were derived from sales by the Company, and 2% of our revenues were derived from sales by our subsidiary.
Cost of revenues
Customer services and technical support cost of revenues consist of the salary and related costs for our technical staff that provide those services and support and related overhead expenses.
Operating expense
Research and development. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses of our research and development staff, as well as subcontracting expenses. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred except equipment purchases that are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
General and administrative. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses of our executive, financial, administrative and sales and marketing staff. These expenses also include costs of professional advisors such as legal and accounting experts, depreciation expenses as well as expenses related to advertising, professional expenses and participation in exhibitions and tradeshows.
Financing income and expenses
Financing income consists primarily of interest earned on our cash equivalents balances and other financial investments and foreign exchange gains. Financing expenses consist primarily of interest payable on bank loans and foreign exchange losses.
Critical Accounting Policies.
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available.
These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of the periods presented. To fully understand and evaluate our reported consolidated financial results, we believe it is important to understand our revenue recognition policy.
Revenue recognition. Revenues from products sales are recognized on a completed-contract basis, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB No. 101"), Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition", and Statement of Position 81-1, "Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts". We have primarily short-term contracts whereby revenues and costs in the aggregate for all contracts is expected to result in a matching of gross profit with period overhead or fixed costs similar to that achieved by use of the percentage-of-completion method. Accordingly, financial position and results of operations would not vary materially from those resulting from the use of the percentage-of- completion method. Revenue is recognized only after all the three stages of deliverables are complete; installation, approval of acceptance tests results by the customer and when the product is successfully put into real-life application. Customers are billed, according to individual agreements, a percentage of the total contract fee upon completion of work in each stage; approximately 40% for installation, 40% upon approval of acceptance tests by the customer and the balance of the total contract price when the software is successfully put into real-life application. The revenues, less its associated costs, are deferred and recognized on completion of the contract and customer acceptance. Amounts received for work performed in each stage are not refundable.
On-going service and technical support contracts are negotiated separately at an additional fee. The technical support is separate from the functionality of the products, which can function without on-going support.
Technology license revenues are recognized in accordance with SAB No. 101 at the time the technology and license is delivered to the customer, collection is probable, the fee is fixed and determinable, a persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, no significant obligation remains under the sale or licensing agreement and no significant customer acceptance requirements exist after delivery of the technology.
Revenue share is recognized as earned based on a certain percentage of our clients' revenues from selling services to end users. Usage is determined by receiving confirmation from the clients.
Revenues relating to customer services and technical support are recognized as the services are rendered ratably over the period of the related contract.

Our financing expenses decreased 86% to $5,088 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, from $36,886 for the same period in 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity since our inception have been private sales of equity securities, stockholder loans, borrowings from banks and to a lesser extent, cash from operations. We had cash and cash equivalents of $43,491 as of September 30, 2008 and $365,513 as of December 31, 2007. Our initial capital came from an aggregate investment of $1.3 million from Cap Ventures Ltd. To date, we have raised an aggregate of $5,300,000 from placements of our equity securities (including the investment by Cap Ventures and a $4,000,000 investment by Syntek Capital AG and DEP Technology Holdings Ltd.). We have also borrowed an aggregate of $1,800,000 from Syntek Capital AG and DEP Technology Holdings Ltd. and as of the date of this quarterly report we have no funds available to us under bank lines of credit. We have a credit line agreement for $500,000 with Miretzky Holdings Limited. As of September 30, 2008, $315,187 is outstanding under the credit line. The credit line has no termination date and does not provide for interest payments.
Other than the credit line agreement with Miretzky, we do not have any commitments from any of our affiliates or current stockholders, or any other non-affiliated parties, to provide additional sources of capital to us. We have an equity line for $10.0 million with Dutchess Private Equity Fund and as of November 14, 2008 we have drawn $828,675 under the Equity Line. We will need approximately $1.2 million for the next twelve months for our operating costs which mainly include salaries, office rent and network connectivity, which we estimate will total approximately $80,000 per month, and for working capital. We intend to finance this amount from our ongoing sales and through the sale of our debt or equity securities or a combination thereof, to affiliates, current stockholders and/or new investors.
