NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
ORGANIZATION
In January 2006, Left Behind Games Inc. (collectively, “we,” “our,” the “Company” or “LBG”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with Bonanza Gold, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Bonanza”), wherein Bonanza acquired LBG through the purchase of our outstanding common stock on a “1 for 1” exchange basis. Prior to the execution of the Agreement, on January 25, 2006, we effected a 2.988538 for 5 reverse stock split of LBG’s common stock and preferred stock outstanding, resulting in 12,456,538 and 3,586,246 shares of common and preferred stock, respectively. Also prior to the execution of the Agreement, Bonanza effected a 1 for 4 reverse stock split, resulting in 1,882,204 shares of common stock outstanding.
We were incorporated on August 27, 2002 under the laws of the State of Delaware for the purpose of engaging in the business of producing, distributing and selling video games and associated products. We completed the development of a video game based upon the popular LEFT BEHIND series of novels published by Tyndale House Publishers (“Tyndale”) and as of November 2006 began commercially selling the video game to retail outlets nationwide.
We hold an exclusive worldwide license (the “License”) from Tyndale to develop, manufacture and distribute video games and related products based on the LEFT BEHIND series of novels published by Tyndale.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Such rules and regulations allow us to condense and omit certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We believe these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for the periods presented. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K/A for the year ended March 31, 2009. The interim unaudited consolidated financial information contained in this filing is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year ending March 31, 2010.
RESTATEMENT
We have restated our financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2009, previously filed on February 22, 2010, to correct certain general and administrative expenses related to a consulting arrangement during the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2009 (see Note 13). Except for the foregoing matters, no other information included in our original Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, is amended by this Form 10-Q/A.
The following table shows the impact of this restatement on our consolidated statement of operations and consolidated balance sheet:

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard related to subsequent events, which provides guidance on events that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements. The new accounting standard distinguishes events requiring recognition in the financial statements and those that may require disclosure in the financial statements. Furthermore, the new accounting standard requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events were evaluated. The new accounting standard is effective for interim and annual periods after June 15, 2009. We adopted the new accounting standard for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, and have evaluated subsequent events through February 19, 2010.
In June 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which provides guidance related to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of a previously issued standard. The new accounting standard stipulates the FASB Accounting Standards Codification is the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The new accounting standard is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The implementation of this standard during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 did not have a material impact on our statements of operations or financial position.
In May 2008, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which provides guidance relating to accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement). This new standard requires recognition of both the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments with cash settlement features. The debt component is required to be recognized at the fair value of a similar instrument that does not have an associated equity component. The equity component is recognized as the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the note and the fair value of the liability. The standard also requires an accretion of the resulting debt discount over the expected life of the debt. Retrospective application to all periods presented is required and a cumulative-effect adjustment is recognized as of the beginning of the first period presented. This standard was effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which provides guidance relating to determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity's own stock and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This standard specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to our own stock and (b) classified in stockholders' equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. The standard provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer's own stock and thus able to qualify for the standard's scope exception.
10
We adopted this new standard effective April 1, 2009. The adoption of the standard's requirements can affect the accounting for warrants or convertible debt that contain provisions that protect holders from a decline in the stock price (or "down-round" protection). For example, warrants with such provisions will no longer be recorded in equity. Down-round protection provisions reduce the exercise price of a warrant or convertible instrument if a company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise price of those instruments or issues new warrants or convertible instruments that have a lower exercise price.
In April 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to an existing standard which provides guidance relating to interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments. This new standard requires the disclosure of the carrying amount and the fair value of all financial instruments for interim reporting periods and annual financial statements of publicly traded companies (even if the financial instrument is not recognized in the balance sheet), including the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair values and any changes in such methods and assumptions. This new standard is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted this pronouncement during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 without material impact to our financial statements.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("the Act") introduced new requirements regarding corporate governance and financial reporting. Among the many requirements of the Act is for management to annually assess and report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(a) and for its registered public accountant to attest to this report under Section 404(b). The SEC has modified the effective date and adoption requirements of Section 404(a) and Section 404(b) implementation for non-accelerated filers multiple times, such that we were required to issue our management report on internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Based on current SEC requirements, we will be required to have our independent registered public accounting firm attest to the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting for our fiscal year ending March 31, 20 11.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
Customer Concentrations
During the three month period ended December 31, 2009, our primary distributor accounted for 71% of our revenues. During the three month period ended December 31, 2008, our largest retail customer accounted for 27% of our revenue.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of LBG as a going concern. We have started generating revenue but have incurred net losses of $11,609,389 during the nine months ending December 31, 2009 and had an accumulated deficit of $55,611,025 at December 31, 2009. In addition, we used cash in our operations of $1,385,730 during the nine months ended December 31, 2009. However, from April 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009, approximately 86% of the aggregate value of the Company’s notes payable was converted to common stock.
We plan to continue to control and reduce costs where necessary while continuing our pursuit to find one or more merger/acquisition candidates, to expand our business. Management plans to continue to raise additional capital in 2010 to fund ongoing business operations and potential business combinations.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and to repay the liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. We plan to continue to provide for our capital requirements by issuing additional equity securities. No assurance can be given that additional capital will be available when required or on terms acceptable to us. We also cannot give assurance that we will achieve significant revenues in the future. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our business plan or generate positive operating results.
These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of LBG to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

On June 30, 2009, we expanded our license agreement for Charlie Church Mouse PC Games to include all distribution channels worldwide. We are amortizing the license entered into on June 30, 2009 over its two year term.
NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As LB Games Ukraine was providing software development services only to us and due to our history of providing on-going financial support to that entity, through consolidation we have elected to forego all net losses of this variable interest entity in excess of our ownership interest and the actual capital we have invested in this entity. During the nine months ending December 31, 2009, we did not make any payments to LB Games Ukraine.
NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees and Indemnities
We have made certain indemnities and guarantees, under which we may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party in relation to certain actions or transactions. We indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents, as permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. We have also indemnified our consultants, investment bankers, sublicensor and distributors against any liability arising from the performance of their services or license commitment, pursuant to their agreements. In connection with our facility leases, we have indemnified our lessors for certain claims arising from the use of the facility. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies, and is generally tied to the life of the agreement. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. Historically, we have not been obligated nor incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Anti-dilution Rights to Common Stock
In 2004, we entered into an agreement with Charter Financial Holdings, LLC in connection with consulting services. The compensation section of the agreement requires that we issue shares of our common stock to Charter sufficient to ensure that its ownership in us, does not fall below one percent (1%) of our outstanding common stock. The result is that for each time we issue or sell stock, we must issue shares equal to one percent of such issuance to Charter Financial Holdings, LLC to maintain their ownership percentage. Charter Financial Holdings, LLC is not required to pay additional consideration for those shares.
Employment Agreements
We have entered into no new employment agreements with key employees.
Leases
We operate in a 4,300 square foot sales and distribution facility in Temecula, California under a sublease agreement through October 2010 with an option to extend such lease for up to four 12 month periods. Its cost is $2,850 per month.
Previously, our corporate offices consisted of a 3,500 square foot facility on 29995 Technology Drive in Murrieta, California under a lease agreement through May 2010. Its cost is $7,545 per month, with annual increases of four percent (4%). We abandoned that facility in March 2008 and are seeking a resolution with the landlord. We have recorded as exit costs approximately $60,000 for the potential liabilities associated with abandoning those facilities.
Independent Sales Representatives
In order to help us secure retail distribution of our initial product, we entered into consulting arrangements with several independent representatives. The payment arrangements to these independent representatives are based upon the ultimate amount paid to us by each customer. The commission rates for these independent representatives typically vary from three percent to five percent to thirty percent of the net amount we collect from customers with stock-based bonus incentives.
14
Left Behind License
On October 11, 2002, the publisher of theLeft Behind book series granted us an exclusive worldwide license to use the copyrights and trademarks relating to the storyline and content of the books in theLeft Behind series of novels for the manufacture and distribution of video game products for personal computers, CD-ROM, DVD, game consoles, and the Internet.
The license requires us to pay royalties based on the gross receipts on all non-electronic products and for electronic products produced for use on personal computer systems, and a smaller percentage of the gross receipts on other console game platform systems. According to the license agreement, we are required to guarantee a minimum royalty during the initial four-year term of the license, of which we have already paid a portion. This advance will be set off as a credit against all monies owed subsequently under the license. We were behind in our payments to the licensor. If these are not paid, in the event the licensor makes a demand, it could result in the termination of the license agreement. In such case, we shall continue to have the rights to sell all games in the marketplace along with all inventory already purchased. On September 28, 2008, the Company and licensor modified terms of the agreement to eliminate minimum royalty guarantees. Instead, within 30 days from the end of each month, Company shall provide royalties to licensor based upon its agreement for the preceding month. Additionally, the license term of 3 years automatically renews to additional terms in perpetuity.
Content License
In July 2007, and subsequently in June, 2009, we entered into a Software Publishing Agreements to publish three pc video games under the Charlie Church Mouse (“CCM”) brand. That license agreement requires us to pay royalties to the licensor at a rate of twenty percent of the gross margin on the cash receipts from sales of CCM branded games net of any amounts received as or for any sales, use, customs or other taxes, or postage, shipping, handling, freight, delivery, insurance, maintenance service, sales programs and commissions, interest or finance charges. We paid an original license fee of $25,000 and a renewal fee of another $25,000 in connection with the signing of the Software Publishing Agreements and have a prepaid license fee amount of $30,426 under prepaid expenses and other current assets on our December, 31, 2009 balance sheet.
Litigation
We are subject to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of our business.
On July 25, 2009, Xerox Corporation filed suit against us for approximately $67,237, representing full payment of two three year operating leases we have on two Xerox WorkCentre systems. A stipulation of judgment was entered into to resolve a dispute with Xerox Corporation in the amount of approximately $67,237. The settlement called for the Company to pay $1,448.77 per month until satisfaction in full, which the Company has been doing for several months.
We have recently become aware of a claim from our former President, Jeffrey Frichner, which we received from the California State Labor Board in an amount exceeding $100,000. The Company will protect its rights in accordance with the settlement agreement it executed with its former President, in which he agreed not to bring any claim against company and waived his rights, accordingly.
We are currently not involved in any other litigation or any pending legal proceedings that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 11 – NOTE RECEIVABLE
In December 2009, we provided a no-interest short-term loan of $50,000 to another Christian videogame developer, Digital Praise, Inc., a California corporation (“DP”), to assist them with their working capital requirements. As of December 31, 2009, DP had repaid $10,411 of the loan and they owed us $39,589.
NOTE 12 - DEFERRED REVENUES
At December 31, 2009, we had $1,453 of deferred revenue related to our on-line store sales. As we allow a one-month period for our on-line store customers to return our games, we record the revenue from the last month of each quarter as deferred revenue and then recognize that revenue once the one-month period has elapsed.
NOTE 13 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT ISSUED FOR SERVICES
On September 2, 2008, the Company entered into a one-year consulting agreement (the “2008 Consulting Agreement”) with a consultant (the “Consultant”) pursuant to which, in exchange for services rendered by the Consultant to the Company, the Consultant received an aggregate of 8,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company. In April of 2009, the Company added an addendum to 2008 Consulting Agreement (the “First Addendum”) whereby the Consultant also earned $10,000 per month for the services rendered and received an additional 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The First Addendum also provided that Consultant had the right to convert the monies owed under the amended consulting agreement into shares of common stock of the Company at a rate of $0.005 no later than March 31, 2010. In April of 2009, the Company added a second addendum to the 2008 Consulting Agreement (the “Second Addendum ”) whereby the conversion rate was reduced to $0.001 per share. All other terms remained the same. In April of 2009, the parties entered into the third addendum to the 2008 Consulting Agreement (the “Third Addendum”) whereby the Consultant agreed that in the event the Consultant sold common stock of the Company at a rate exceeding 10,000,000 shares per 30 calendar day period, the Consultant would pay the Company an early-sell fee for each period of $100,000 or an amount equally agreed upon by the Company and Consultant.
During the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company received $527,669 in fees from the consultant under this provision. The Company recorded these fees against additional paid-in capital.
16
On July 23, 2009, the Company replaced the 2008 Consulting Arrangement with a new automatically renewable six month consulting agreement (the “2009 Consulting Agreement”) whereby the Consultant earned a sales commission but not less than $40,000 per month in exchange for services rendered. The 2009 Consulting Agreement also stated that if during the term of such agreement, the Company does not pay the Consultant as scheduled, the Consultant shall have the choice to accept such monies owed at a later date or to convert such amounts owed into common stock of the Company at a rate of $0.001 per share, in the Consultant’s sole discretion.
In determining the fair value of the convertible debt issued for services, the Company followed guidance in ASC 470-20-30 “Convertible Instruments Issued to Nonemployees for Goods and Services.” Under ASC 470-20-30, convertible instruments issued for services are to be valued using the measurement date as determined under ASC 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.” In addition, ASC 470-20-30 provides guidance on determining fair value of convertible instruments issued for services as follows: (1) Fair value of services if determinable (2) Cash received for similar convertible instruments sold to unrelated parties or (3) At a minimum, the value of the equity that could be received if the instrument were converted. The Company determined that the fair value of the common stock that could be received if the debt were converted was the best measure of fair value in the above transactions. Accordingly the value of the underlying common stock on the measurement date, as determined by ASC 505-50, was used to determine the fair value of the convertible debt.
The Company estimated the fair value of the convertible notes issued to the consultant for services during the nine months ended December 31, 2009 to be $5,446,000 and recorded this amount as consulting expense. During the nine months ended December 31, 2009, $30,000 of the convertible debt was converted into 45,000,000 shares of common stock and the consultant had an outstanding convertible debt balance of $210,000.
NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In January 2010, we issued 61,000,000 shares of common stock to consultants for legal and operational consulting services.
In January 2010, we issued 4,545,455 shares to investors in exchange for net proceeds of $25,000.
In January 2010, we loaned an additional $50,000 to Digital Praise under identical terms as the note for the same amount in December 2009 (see Note 11 above).

Any or all of the forward-looking statements in this quarterly report may turn out to be inaccurate and as such, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. The forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions due to a number of factors, including:

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this quarterly report.
THE COMPANY
Left Behind Games, a Washington corporation, conducts all of its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary, Left Behind Games Inc. d/b/a Inspired Media Entertainment (herein referred to as the “Company,” “LFBG,” “we,” “us,” “our” or similar terms). LFBG was founded on December 31, 2001 and incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 22, 2002. The Company is engaged in the development, production and sale of Christian inspirational PC video games based upon the popularLeft Behind series of novels, published by Tyndale House Publishers. The mission of the Company is to become the world’s leading independent developer and publisher of quality interactive entertainment products that perpetuate positive values and appeal to mainstream and faith-based audiences. As of the date of this Annual Report, we produce and sell inspirational video games.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol “LFBG.”
On that December 31, 2001, we signed a license agreement with Tyndale House Publishers for the exclusive world-wide rights to theLeft Behind brand for the purpose of electronic games. According to Tyndale House Publishers, theLeft Behind’s book series has sold more than sixty three (63) million copies and as a result, the ten initial books, followed by children’s books, comic books, music and three movies with theLeft Behind brand name have generated hundreds of millions of dollars at retail. According to a Barna Research study,Left Behind has also become a recognized brand name by more than one-third (1/3) of Americans.
Left Behind Games, Inc., a Washington corporation, became a public company on February 7, 2006. On that date, through a reverse merger acquisition, we acquired the public entity Bonanza Gold, Inc., a Washington corporation which had been in operation since 1961. As a result of the share exchange agreement, LFBG shareholders and management controlled the new public company and as part of the transaction, we changed the name of Bonanza Gold, Inc. to Left Behind Games, Inc. We are currently doing business under the name “Inspired Media Entertainment.”
18
Due to the high impact of the brand name “Left Behind Games”recognized withinthe marketplace, we have retained this name although other products have been added to our line. As time goes on, and we continue to add new products, we anticipate changing our name to Inspired Media Entertainment.
Our Company became one of the first to develop, publish, and distribute products game for the multi-billion dollar inspirational marketplace when in November of 2006, we released our first product, “LEFT BEHIND: Eternal Forces,” a PC real-time strategy game. We successfully gained entry into more than ten thousand (10,000) retail locations, including Target, Best Buy, Amazon.com, GameStop, EB Games, select Wal-Marts, Circuit City, Comp USA and numerous others.
On July 5, 2007, we obtained an exclusive license to sell three (3) PC games featuring Charlie Church Mouse to the Christian Booksellers Association (CBA) market from Lifeline Studios, Inc., the developer and original publisher. On June 30, 2009, we expanded our license agreement for Charlie Church Mouse PC Games to include all markets and distribution channels worldwide.
On May 20, 2008, we acquired the publishing and distribution rights to the PC game, “Keys of the Kingdom.” This game features brain-teasing dynamics and inspirational scriptures. We agreed to pay the author a royalty of fifteen percent (15%) of gross profits.
To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of shares of our common stock. During the nine months ended December 31, 2009, we raised $1,575,550 through the sale of common stock to certain “accredited investors” under several different formats. We continue to generate operating losses and have only just begun to generate revenues.
Furthermore, the report by our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on our financial statements includes a paragraph describing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern” as of and for the year ended March 31, 2009.

Series D Preferred Stock
On September 28, 2009, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations for a Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. The authorized number of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is 1,000. The holders of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock have no voting power whatsoever, except as otherwise provided by the Washington Business Corporation Act and for provisions protection of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations. In each instance, each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote. Each holder of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such holder’s option, at any time or from time to time from and after the day immediately following the date the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is first issued, to convert each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock into one million five hundred thousand (1,500,000) fully-paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’ ;s common stock. The voting rights of the Company’s common stockholders may be limited by the issuance and/or conversion of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.
In the first week of the quarter ending December 31, 2009, we issued 10 series D Preferred shares to one of our Directors, Richard Knox, Jr., of which he converted 1 share into one million five hundred thousand (1,500,000) shares of the Company’s common stock. Also, in the quarter ending December 31, 2009, our CEO, Troy Lyndon, converted his 100 shares of Series D Preferred Stock into one hundred fifty million (150,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock.

4.
To transact any other business that may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the meeting.
Pursuant to a Joint Written Consent of the Board of Directors and Majority Stockholders, on October 29, 2009, the Board of Directors and Troy A. Lyndon, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman, and Richard J. Knox, Jr., one of our Directors, jointly approved of the above actions in accordance with a majority shareholder vote, the voting rights of which are described as follows. Mr. Lyndon owns an aggregate of 12,027,378 pre-forward split shares of common stock and 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Each share of Common Stock has the right to one vote on the proposals above and each Series C Preferred Stock has the voting equivalency of 10 million shares of Common Stock; thereby giving Mr. Lyndon total voting power equal to 10,012,027,378 pre-split shares of Common Stock, approximately 91.1% of the total voting securities (10,986,135,018 pre-split shares consisting of 971,467,844 pre-split shares of Common Stock, 3,586,245 of Series A Preferred Stock, 11,080,929 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock having the voting equivalency of 10 billion pre-split shares of Common Stock). Mr. Richard J. Knox, Jr. who owns 3,000,000 pre-split shares of Common Stock also approved of the above proposals. Together, Mr. Lyndon and Mr. Knox own the voting equivalency of 10,015,027,378 pre-split shares of Common Stock, approximately 91.4% of the issued and outstanding voting securities. The Board of Directors considered the above proposals in September 2009 when they were in discussions regarding the Company’s forward stock split of 3-for-2. Upon the consummation of the forward stock split on October 13, 2009, the Company had 971,467,844 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, only 228,532,156 shares less than the total 1.2 billion shares then currently authorized pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. The Board of Directors decided to increase the Company’s autho rized common stock to 3 billion shares to give the Company additional ability to issue shares in future financings or corporate transactions, if any, or for compensation for services rendered by various individuals or entities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
Revenues
We recorded net revenues of $52,868 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $33,232 in the three months ended December 31, 2008. This represented an increase in our revenues of $19,636, or 59%. The revenues in the three months ended December 31, 2009 were from a mix ofLeft Behind: Eternal Forces, Left Behind:Tribulation Forces,three Charlie Church Mouse (“CCM”) games andKeys of the Kingdom.
Approximately 71% of our revenues in the December period arose from sales through our new master distributor. The remainder of our revenue came from cash receipts from the Christian bookstore or church market or from on-line sales.
The revenues from our distributor were reduced by a number of deductions under our distribution agreement totaling $47,592, as follows:
Manufacturing costs paid by our distributor | $ | 32,332 |
Cost of presenting at vendor show |
| 1,500 |
Retail program deductions |
| 11,684 |
Cost of games returned to distributor |
| 2,076 |
Total Deductions | $ | 47,592 |
20
Based upon sell through reports provided by our distributor, approximately 4,036 of our games sold through to the end consumers in the December period, almost all of which occurred in certain Wal-Mart and Target stores.
No significant amount of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009 came from a large retail customer.
Cost of Sales - Product Costs
We recorded cost of sales - product costs of $11,372 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $2,967 in the three months ended December 31, 2008. This represented an increase in our cost of sales – product costs of $8,405, or 283%. The increase in cost of sales – product costs was due to the increase in revenues noted above and to a lower average selling price than in the prior period. Cost of sales - product costs consists of product costs and inventory-related operational expenses.
Cost of Sales – Intellectual Property Licenses
We recorded cost of sales – intellectual property licenses of $9,418 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $3,220 in the three months ended December 31, 2008. This represents an increase in our intellectual property costs of $6,198, or 192%, due to an increase of sales of Charlie Church Mouse games which require a larger royalty percentage.
Stock Based Compensation
Stock based compensation to consultants, directors and employees totaled $3,777,783 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to $7,098 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $3,770,075. The increase was primarily due to a charge of $3,597,100 in stock-based compensation related to the issuance to our CEO and outside director of an aggregate of 110 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock, which was convertible in 165,000,000 shares of our common stock. We measured the value of that issuance based upon the closing market price on the issuance date of the Series D convertible Preferred Stock.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $3,793,338 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to $269,974 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $3,523,364. The increase was primarily due to a $3,030,000 charge that recorded the fair value of convertible debt issued to a consultant for services. Additional factors included an increase in professional fees of $376,634, an increase in marketing costs of $120,472, an increase in sales commissions of $33,039, an increase in postage expense of $28,753 and an increase in wages of $19,886.
Product Development Expenses
Product development expenses were $26,967 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to $364 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $26,603. This increase was the result of investments in new game and software infrastructure development in the 2009 period largely with outside contractors.
Interest Expense
We recorded interest expense of $27,499 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to $196,855 in the three months ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $169,356, or 86%. Our interest expense is comprised of interest incurred on outstanding debts and the, accretion of the debt discounts related to zero coupon notes and, in the 2008 period, amortization of debt issuance costs. The accretion of debt discount was $18,868 in the December 2009 period compared to accretion of debt discount and amortization of debt issuance costs of $353,949 in the 2008 period. This expense was significantly reduced as the majority of the debt discounts and all of the debt issuance costs had been amortized away in prior periods and were completely amortized in the 2009 period.
Net Loss
As a result of the above factors, we reported a net loss of $7,593,609 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of $492,776 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. In addition, our accumulated deficit at December 31, 2009 totaled $55,611,025.
21
Nine Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
Revenues
We recorded net revenues of $95,264 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $151,974 in the nine months ended December 31, 2008. This represented a decrease in our revenues of $56,710, or 37%. The primary driver in the decrease was reduced sales in the Christian bookstore market since we primarily focused on generating sales directly with churches and deemphasized sales to Christian bookstores to a certain extent.
The revenues in the nine months ended December 31, 2009 were from a mix ofLeft Behind: Eternal Forces, Left Behind: Tribulation Forces,three Charlie Church Mouse (“CCM”) games andKeys of the Kingdom.
Approximately 39% of our revenues in the December period arose from sales through our new master distributor. The remainder of our revenue came from cash receipts from the Christian bookstore or church market or from on-line sales.
The revenues from our distributor were reduced by a number of deductions under our distribution agreement totaling $47,592, as follows:
Manufacturing costs paid by our distributor | $ | 32,332 |
Cost of presenting at vendor show |
| 1,500 |
Retail program deductions |
| 11,684 |
Cost of games returned to distributor |
| 2,076 |
Total Deductions | $ | 47,592 |
Based upon sell through reports provided by our distributor, approximately 4,036 of our games sold through to the end consumers in the December period, almost all of which occurred in certain Wal-Mart and Target stores.
No significant amount of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009 came from a large retail customer.
In the nine months ended December 31, 2008, 29% of our revenue came from our largest retail customer.
Cost of Sales - Product Costs
We recorded cost of sales - product costs of $38,279 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $36,454 in the nine months ended December 31, 2008. This represented an increase in our cost of sales – product costs of $1,825, or 5%. The increase in cost of sales – product costs was due to a lower average selling price in the 2009 period, which decreased our average gross profit. Cost of sales - product costs consists of product costs and inventory-related operational expenses.
Cost of Sales – Intellectual Property Licenses
We recorded cost of sales – intellectual property licenses of $16,609 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $6,934 in the nine months ended December 31, 2008. This represents an increase in our intellectual property costs of $9,675, or 140%.
Stock Based Compensation
Stock based compensation to consultants, directors and employees totaled $4,237,928 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, compared to $266,819 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $3,971,109. The increase was primarily due to a charge of $3,597,100 in stock-based compensation related to the issuance to our CEO and outside director of an aggregate of 110 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock, which was convertible in 165,000,000 shares of our common stock. We measured the value of that issuance based upon the closing market price on the issuance date of the Series D convertible Preferred Stock.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $6,808,633 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, compared to $1,302,868 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $5,505,765.
The increase was primarily due to $5,446,000 in charges that recorded the fair value of convertible debt issued to a consultant for services. Additional factors included a $122,752 correction to accrued liabilities for items that were overstated previously, increases in professional fees of $558,378, and in marketing costs of $234,284. Those increases were offset by reductions in payroll of $239,171, in insurance expense of $46,457 and in office expense of $44,087.
22
Product Development Expenses
Product development expenses were $76,928 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, compared to $52,342 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $24,586, or 47%.
Interest Expense
We recorded interest expense of $525,971 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $571,408 in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $45,437, or 8%. Our interest expense is comprised of interest incurred on outstanding debts, accretion of the debt discounts related to zero coupon notes and the recognition of expense due to the beneficial conversion feature resulting from the discounted conversion rate offered to the holders of notes payable who elected to accept a discounted conversion rate during the reporting period. During the nine months ended December 31, 2009, we recorded an expense of $131,251 that represented the beneficial conversion feature expense. We did not record any expense related to beneficial conversion feature expense during the nine months ended December 31, 2008. The accretion of the debt discount was $336,499 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $421,077 for the nine months ende d December 31, 2008. The 2008 figure also included amortization of debt issuance costs.
Other Income
In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded debt forgiveness income of $250,000 from a restructuring of our Left Behind Games license and a gain from extraordinary events of $468,837 related to the termination and settlement of the distribution arrangement with our former primary distributor.
Net Loss
As a result of the above factors, we reported a net loss of $11,609,389 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of $1,416,657 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. In addition, our accumulated deficit at December 31, 2009 totaled $55,611,025.
CASH REQUIREMENTS, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 2009 we had $225,230 of cash compared to $7,778 of cash at March 31, 2009, an increase of $217,452 largely due to private sales of our common stock to “accredited investors.” At December 31, 2009, we had a working capital deficit of $2,132,964 compared to a working capital deficit of $3,643,117 at March 31, 2009.
Operating Activities
For the nine month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, net cash used in operating activities was $1,385,730 and $517,654, respectively. The $868,076 increase in cash used in our operating activities was primarily due to the increased loss, which was partially offset by the non-cash nature of the convertible debt issued for services and of the stock-based compensation to consultants and employees. The net losses for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $11,609,389 and $1,416,657, respectively, an increase of $10,192,732.
Investing Activities
We invested $2,457 in fixed assets during the nine month period ended December 31, 2009.
Financing Activities
For the nine month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, net cash provided by financing activities was $1,605,639 and $533,467, respectively. The primary element of cash provided by financing activities in the nine month period ended December 31, 2009 was raised through the sale of common stock and in the nine month period ended December 31, 2008, through borrowings under notes payable.
23
Future Financing Needs
Since our inception in August 2002 through December 31, 2009, we have raised approximately $12 million through funds provided by private placement offerings and convertible notes. This was sufficient to enable us to develop our first product and expand our product line to include 6 games. Although we expect this trend of financing our business through private placement offerings to continue, we can make no guarantee that we will be adequately financed going forward. We will need to continue raising capital through privately placed offerings in order to continue our operations over the next twelve months. It is also anticipated that in the event we are able to continue raising funds at a pace that exceeds our minimum capital requirements, we may elect to spend cash to expand operations or take advantage of business and marketing opportunities for our long-term benefit. Additionally, we intend to continue to use equity whenever possible to finance mark eting, public relations and development services that we may not otherwise be able to obtain without cash.
We have reduced our staff in order to preserve cash. This personnel reduction does not negatively impact our game development because of our use of outsourcing. This structure allows us to expand the size of our development team on a product-by-product basis without substantially increasing our long-term monthly burn-rate of cash.
To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of shares of our common stock and through the issuance of debt instruments. During the nine months ended December 31, 2009, we raised $1,575,550 through the sale of common stock to certain accredited. We continue to generate operating losses.
Furthermore, the report by our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on our financial statements includes a paragraph describing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern” as of and for the year ended March 31, 2009.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. We have suffered continuing losses from operations, are in default on certain debt, have negative working capital of $2,282,964, which, among other matters, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. A significant amount of additional capital will be necessary to advance the development and distribution of our products to the point at which they may generate sufficient gross profits to cover our operating expenses. We intend to fund operations through debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which management believes may be insufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements (consisting of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, amounts du e to related parties and amounts due under various notes payable) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010. Therefore, we will be required to seek additional funds to finance our long-term operations.
We are currently addressing our liquidity issue by continually seeking investment capital through the public markets, specifically, through private placements of common stock and debt. However, no assurance can be given that we will receive any funds in addition to the funds we have received to date.
The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operating results.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, however, in the past the estimates and assumptions have been materially accurate and have not required any significant changes. Specific sensitivity of each of the estimates and assumptions to change based on ot her outcomes that are reasonably likely to occur and would have a material effect is identified individually in each of the discussions of the critical accounting policies described below. Should we experience significant changes in the estimates or assumptions which would cause a material change to the amounts used in the preparation of our financial statements, material quantitative information will be made available to investors as soon as it is reasonably available.
24
We believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Software Development Costs.Research and development costs, which consist of software development costs, are expensed as incurred. Software development costs primarily include payments made to independent software developers under development agreements. Accounting standards provide for the capitalization of certain software development costs incurred after technological feasibility of the software is established or for the development costs that have alternative future uses. We believe that the technological feasibility of the underlying software is not established until substantially all product development is complete, which generally includes the development of a working model. No software development costs have been capitalized to date.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the present value of estimated future cash flows. At September 30, 2009, our management believes there is no impairment of our long-lived assets other than the lease-hold improvements of its abandoned office space and certain trademark costs both of which have been written off in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. There can be no assurance however; that market conditions will not change or that there will be demand for our products, which could r esult in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
Stock-Based Compensation. Effective April 1, 2006, on the first day of our fiscal year 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of the accounting standards applied at that time, using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted and not yet vested prior to April 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the accounting standards, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to March 31, 2006 based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of accounting standards. Accounting standards requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. As of March 31, 2008, we had no options outs tanding and therefore believe the adoption of this accounting standard had an immaterial effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
We calculate stock-based compensation by estimating the fair value of each option using the Binomial Lattice option pricing model. Our determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards are made as of their respective dates of grant using the option pricing model and that determination is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behavior. The Binomial Lattice option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting or hedging restrictions and are fully transferable. Because our employee stock options have certain characteristics that are significantly different from traded options, the existing valuation models may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of our emplo yee stock options. Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in accordance with accounting standards using an option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction. The calculated compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the option.
Stock-based awards to non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with accounting standards. 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. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the third-party performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. We account for stock-based awards to non-employees by using the fair value method.
In accordance with accounting standards, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor's balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes. Accordingly, we have recorded the fair value of the common stock issued for certain future consulting services as prepaid expenses in its consolidated balance sheet.
Revenue Recognition.We evaluate the recognition of revenue based on the criteria set forth in accounting standards. We evaluate revenue recognition using the following basic criteria and recognize revenue when all four of the following criteria are met:
·
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists: Evidence of an agreement with the customer that reflects the terms and conditions to deliver products must be present in order to recognize revenue.
·
Delivery has occurred: Delivery is considered to occur when the products are shipped and risk of loss and reward have been transferred to the customer.
25
·
The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable: If an arrangement includes rights of return or rights to refunds without return, revenue is recognized at the time the amount of future returns or refunds can be reasonably estimated or at the time when the return privilege has substantially expired in accordance with SFAS No. 48,Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists. If an arrangement requires us to rebate or credit a portion of our sales price if the customer subsequently reduces its sales price for our product to its customers, revenue is recognized at the time the amount of future price concessions can be reasonably estimated, or at the time of customer sell-through.
·
Collectibility is reasonably assured: At the time of the transaction, we conduct a credit review of each customer involved in a significant transaction to determine the creditworthiness of the customer. Collection is deemed probable if we expect the customer to be able to pay amounts under the arrangement as those amounts become due. If we determine that collection is not probable, we recognize revenue when collection becomes probable (generally upon cash collection).
For sales to our large retail customers, we defer revenue recognition until the resale of the products to the end customers, or the “sell-through method.” Under sell-through revenue accounting, accounts receivable are recognized and inventory is relieved upon shipment to the channel partner or retail customer as title to the inventory is transferred upon shipment, at which point we have a legally enforceable right to collection under normal terms. The associated sales and cost of sales are deferred by recording “deferred income – product sales” (gross profit margin on these sales) as shown on the face of the consolidated balance sheet. When the related product is sold by our primary channel partner or our largest retail customer to their end customers, we recognize previously deferred income as sales and cost of sales. Our large retail customers provide us with sell-through information on a frequent basis regarding sales to end cu stomers and in-channel inventories.
For sales to our on-line store customers, revenues are deferred until such time as the right of return privilege granted to the customers lapses, which is thirty (30) days from the date of sale for unopened games.
For sales to our Christian bookstore customers and all other customers that cannot provide us with sell-through information and for which we may accept product returns from time to time, revenues are recognized on a cash receipts basis.
In the future, we intend to continue using the sell-through methodology from customers that supply us with sell through reports. We also plan to continue recognizing sales on our on-line store after a one month lag to allow for the right that we have given our on-line customers to return unopened games for thirty (30) days.
We continue to accumulate historical product return and price concession information related to our Christian bookstore customers and all other customers. In future periods, we may elect to return to the accrual methodology of recording revenue for those customers upon shipment with estimated reserves at which time we believe we can reasonably estimate returns and price concessions to these customers based upon our historical results.
Revenue from Sales of Consignment Inventory. We have placed consignment inventory with certain customers. We receive payment from those customers only when they sell our product to the end consumers. We recognize revenue from the sale of consignment inventory only when we receive payment from those customers.
Shipping and Handling: In accordance with accounting standards, we recognize amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling as revenue. Additionally, shipping and handling costs incurred by us are included in cost of goods sold.
Historically, we promoted our products with advertising, consumer incentive and trade promotions. Such programs include, but are not limited to, cooperative advertising, promotional discounts, coupons, rebates, in-store display incentives, volume based incentives and product introductory payments (i.e. slotting fees). In accordance with accounting standards, certain payments made to customers by us, including promotional sales allowances, cooperative advertising and product introductory expenditures have been deducted from revenue. During the nine months ended December 31, 2008, we had no such types of arrangements.
During the three months ended December 31, 2009, we recorded the following deductions from our revenues:
Manufacturing costs paid by our distributor | $ | 32,332 |
Cost of presenting at vendor show |
| 1,500 |
Retail program deductions |
| 11,684 |
Cost of games returned to distributor |
| 2,076 |
Total Deductions | $ | 47,592 |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We presently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Controls and Procedures.
In accordance with Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, our management is required to perform an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period.
Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2009, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this Report was (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and instructions for Form 10-Q.
Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures had the following deficiency:
·
We were unable to maintain any segregation of duties within our business operations due to our reliance on a single individual fulfilling the role of both our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. While this control deficiency did not result in any audit adjustments to our interim or annual financial statements, it could have resulted in a material misstatement that might have been prevented or detected by a segregation of duties. Accordingly we have determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
Until such time as we retain the services of a Principal Financial Officer, the above-described deficiency will exist. We intend to hire a Principal Financial Officer in the future as our Company grows and we have sufficient capital to pay such individual.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We are subject to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of our business.
On July 25, 2009, Xerox Corporation filed suit against us for approximately $67,237, representing full payment of two three year operating leases we have on two Xerox WorkCentre systems. A stipulation of judgment was entered into to resolve a dispute with Xerox Corporation in the amount of approximately $67,237. The settlement called for the Company to pay $1,448.77 per month until satisfaction in full, which the Company has been doing for several months.
We have recently become aware of a claim from our former President, Jeffrey Frichner, which we received from the California State Labor Board in an amount exceeding $100,000. The company will protect its rights in accordance with the settlement agreement it executed with its former President, in which he agreed not to bring any claim against company and waived his rights, accordingly.
We are currently not involved in any other litigation or any pending legal proceedings that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

We also issued 4,000,000 shares of common stock, valued at $60,000 (based on the closing price on the respective grant date), to certain employees as additional compensation. Such shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, afforded the Company under Section 4(2) promulgated thereunder due to the fact that such issuances did not involve a public offering of securities.
Also, during the three months ended December 31, 2009, a holder of our zero coupon notes converted all $7,812 of his principal into our common stock, the remaining holder of the Meyers bridge notes converted $30,000 of his principal into our common stock and three holders of the 1 year convertible notes converted $191,706 of their principal into common stock. The shares were issued pursuant to the registration exemptions afforded the Company under Section 3(a)(9) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, due to the fact that the securities were converted for no additional consideration.
On September 28, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company, with Mr. Richard J. Knox, Jr., recusing himself from making such determination, issued ten (10) shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock to Richard J. Knox, Jr., a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, in consideration for services rendered. Such shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, afforded the Company under Section 4(2) promulgated thereunder due to the fact that such issuances did not involve a public offering of securities.
On September 28, 2009, the Board, with Troy A. Lyndon recusing himself from making such determination, agreed to issue one hundred (100) shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and ten thousand (10,000) shares of Series C Preferred Stock, to Mr. Lyndon, the Company Chief Executive Officer and Principal Executive Officer, as a reward for significant improvements to the Company’s operations and market cap increase by more than 2000% over the past year. Such shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, afforded the Company under Section 4(2) promulgated thereunder due to the fact that such issuances did not involve a public offering of securities.
