loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 of $3,848,527 compared to a loss of $1,209,866 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
The Company’s principal capital requirements during the year of 2008 are to fund the internal operations and introduce new product lines to the market. The Company has raised funds for operations by selling shares of its common stock to selected investors and by issuing notes and convertible notes as is discussed herein. The Company continues to actively pursue additional credit facilities with accredited investors and financial institutions in Europe, Middle East and USA as a means to obtain new funding.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and in their report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the minimized operations of our business are dependent upon an immediate infusion of cash and further long term financing, successful and sufficient market acceptance of our products and achieving a profitable level of operations. We have historically incurred losses, and from inception through September 30, 2008, have incurred losses of $10,701,833. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. Presently, our revenues are not sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenses. Management projects that we will require substantial additional funding to expand our current operations as the Company is currently nearly out of cash. Management has taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial requirements: Management has devoted considerable efforts during the period ended September 30, 2008 and subsequently towards (i) obtaining additional equity financing (ii) controlling of salaries and general and administrative expenses (iii) management of accounts payable (iv) settlement of debt by issuance of common shares and (v) strategically forming subsidiaries that bring synergies to the Company’s products and services.
The Company relies on a combination of debt and equity financings to fund its ongoing cash requirements. The Company has scaled down its workforce to a few key employees, who have also agreed to accept stock compensation in lieu of payroll. The Company has minimized its operations in order to conserve its working capital.
In light of the need to raise additional funds in the immediate short term, the Company has been focused on capital raising activities in addition to continuing to control operating costs, aggressively managing working capital and attempting to settle certain debt by the issuance of common shares. As of January 1, 2008 to the date of this filing, the Company has received $4.1 million of equity financing and loans in order to fund cash requirements.
Although the Company has previously been able to raise capital, there can be no assurance that such capital will continue to be available at all or, if available, that the terms of such financing will not be highly dilutive to existing stockholders or otherwise on terms unfavorable to us. The Company may review capital raising transactions on terms that are unfavorable to the Company and that the Company would not otherwise review but for tightening of credit through the global capital market. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital as circumstances require, it may not be able to continue its operations.
On October 17, 2008 the Company filed a Form 8-K with the SEC. As a result of the financing conditions reported, the Company is in default of a 12% Note with an Option to convert due on May 15, 2009 (the “Note”) between the Company and a lender in the amount of $50,000 that was subscribed for as part of our bridge offering reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on April 18, 2008. Upon an event of default, the lender at its election may call for the repayment in cash of the full principal amount of the Note together with interest and other amounts owing under the Note. The Company has received a waiver from the lender of the breach provision.
Since October 17, 2008 the Company has not met its payroll obligations to its employees. The Company has scaled back on its workforce to a few key employees. The Company is currently seeking and reviewing financing and other strategic options to correct this situation.
As of November 11, 2008 the Company was negotiating an asset purchase agreement with the former employees of QMotions to dispose of certain QMotions assets and liabilities. Total net assets to be transferred are approximately $214,690 comprised primarily of inventory of $6,687 and accounts receivable of $208,003. The disposition will include $435,512 of related liabilities. The liabilities exceed the assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 the QMotions subsidiary incurred net losses of $2,200,113 and $439,513 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. For the comparable periods of 2007 the amounts consisted entirely of QMotions.
Operating Activities: Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $3,589,348. The increase is primarily due to the increase in net loss of $3,848,527 in 2008, decrease in accounts receivable of $792,168, a decrease would provide cash, offset by an increase in software development of $759,875, which is classified as an investing activity, increase in inventory of $460,078 which would use cash, increase in accounts payable of $568,691; this would provide cash, and decrease in accrued payroll and other payable of $114,850.
Financing Activities: Net cash received by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 of $4,115,404came primarily from notes payable of $1,580,479 and proceeds from private placements of $1,875,025.
As a result of the above activities, the Company recorded a cash and cash equivalent balance of $3,943 as of September 30, 2008 and a net decrease in cash and cash equivalent of $244,024for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to a net increase in cash of $219,978 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is still dependent on its success in obtaining immediate additional financing.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects (i.e. Allowance for Doubtful Account and Product Returns) of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangement.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (“the Certifying Officers”), conducted evaluations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Sections 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management of the Company on a timely basis in order to comply with the Company’s disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. As a result of the Company reducing its workforce to a few key employees, management has determined that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15f and 15d-15(f) may have been compromised for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2008. Management has identified the following deficiency: the Company has not properly segregated duties as one or two individuals initiate, authorize, and complete all transactions. It is the Company’s
intent to remedy these deficiencies as adequate working capital is raised and available to fund the segregation of duties.
The Company does not believe that these control deficiencies have resulted in deficient financial reporting. The Certifying Officers are aware of their responsibilities under the SEC’s reporting requirements and personally certify that the financial statements fairly present the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of, and for, the periods covered herein.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Please refer to the Company’s 10-K of the year ended December 31, 2007 for a complete list of risk factors.
We will need immediate substantial additional financing in the future to continue operations.
Our ability to continue to operate at the reduced level that we are presently operating in and to expand our operations to their previous levels are dependent upon our ability to obtain immediate substantial external funding. We are exploring various financing alternatives. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure such financing at acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available from the foregoing sources, or if we determine it to otherwise be in our best interests, we will most likely consider additional strategic financing options, including the sales of our assets, ceasing our operations and filing bankruptcy. If we file for bankruptcy our investors may lose all or some of their investment.
We will rely on third-party suppliers and manufacturers to provide raw materials for and to produce our products, and we will have limited control over these suppliers and manufacturers and may not be able to obtain quality products on a timely basis or in sufficient quantity.
Substantially all of our products will be manufactured by unaffiliated manufacturers. We may not have any long-term contracts with our suppliers or manufacturing sources, and we expect to compete with other companies for raw materials and production capacity.
There can be no assurance that there will not be a significant disruption in the supply of raw materials from our intended sources or, in the event of a disruption, that we would be able to locate alternative suppliers of materials of comparable quality at an acceptable price, or at all. In addition, we cannot be certain that our unaffiliated manufacturers will be able to fill our orders in a timely manner. If we experience significant increased demand, or need to replace an existing manufacturer, there can be no assurance that additional supplies of raw materials or additional manufacturing capacity will be available when required on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, or that any supplier or manufacturer would allocate sufficient capacity to us in order to meet our requirements. In addition, even if we are able to expand existing or find new manufacturing or raw material sources, we may encounter delays in production and added costs as a result of the time it takes to train our suppliers and manufacturers in our methods, products and quality control standards. Any delays, interruption or increased costs in the supply of raw materials or manufacture of our products could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet retail customer and consumer demand for our products and result in lower revenues and net income both in the short and long-term.
In addition, there can be no assurance that our suppliers and manufacturers will continue to provide raw materials and to manufacture products that are consistent with our standards. We may receive shipments of products that fail to conform to our quality control standards. In that event, unless we are able to obtain replacement products in a timely manner, we risk the loss of revenues resulting from the inability to sell those products and related increased administrative and shipping costs. In addition, because we do not control our manufacturers, products that fail to meet our standards or other unauthorized products could end up in the marketplace without our knowledge, which could harm our reputation in the marketplace.
Economic conditions, political events, war, terrorism, public health issues, natural disasters and other circumstances could materially adversely affect the Company.
The Company’s operations and performance depend significantly on worldwide economic conditions and their impact on levels of consumer spending, which have recently deteriorated significantly in many countries and
regions, including without limitation the United States, and may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. For example, some of the factors that could influence the levels of consumer spending include continuing increases in fuel and other energy costs, conditions in the residential real estate and mortgage markets, labor and healthcare costs, access to credit, consumer confidence and other macroeconomic factors affecting consumer spending behavior. These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on demand for the Company’s products and services and on the Company’s financial condition and operating results.
In addition, war, terrorism, geopolitical uncertainties, public health issues, and other business interruptions have caused and could cause damage or disruption to international commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a strong negative effect on the Company, its suppliers, logistics providers, manufacturing vendors and customers. The Company’s business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, terrorist attacks, and other hostile acts, labor disputes, public health issues, and other events beyond its control. Such events could decrease demand for the Company’s products, make it difficult or impossible for the Company to make and deliver products to its customers or to receive components from its suppliers, and create delays and inefficiencies in the Company’s supply chain. Should major public health issues, including pandemics, arise, the Company could be negatively affected by more stringent employee travel restrictions, additional limitations in freight services, governmental actions limiting the movement of products between regions, delays in production ramps of new products, and disruptions in the operations of the Company’s manufacturing vendors and component suppliers. The majority of the Company’s research and development activities, its corporate headquarters, information technology systems, and other critical business operations, including certain component suppliers and manufacturing vendors, are located near major seismic faults. Because the Company does not carry earthquake insurance for direct quake-related losses and significant recovery time could be required to resume operations, the Company’s financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected in the event of a major earthquake.
We may have to file for bankruptcy if we are unable to repay our debt obligations.
If a holder of debt were in the near future to demand accelerated repayment due to default of all or a substantial portion of our outstanding indebtedness that exceeds the amount of our available liquid assets that could be disbursed without triggering further defaults under other outstanding indebtedness, we would not likely have the resources to pay such accelerated amounts, would be required to seek funds from re-financing or re-structuring transactions for which we have no current basis to believe we would be able to obtain on desired terms or at all, and would face the risk of a bankruptcy filing by us or our creditors. Any accelerated repayment demands that we are able to honor would reduce our available cash balances and likely have a material adverse impact on our operating and financial performance and ability to comply with remaining obligations. If we remain in default on our current indebtedness the restrictive covenants in our agreements could impair our ability to expand or pursue our business strategies or to obtain additional funding.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On July 7, 2008 the Company raised $75,000 in a private placement agreement dated May 15, 2008 with an accredited investor. Each unit of the Company (the “Unit”) consists of 50,000 shares of common stock and 25,000 warrants exercisable for 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Each warrant is immediately exercisable for a period of five years commencing on the closing of the placement of the Units. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company consummated the closing of an aggregate of 3.67 Units of the Company. The offer and sale of securities was made pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including pursuant to Rule 506. Such offer and sale was made to an “accredited investors” under Rule 506 and was made without any form of general solicitation and with full access to any information requested by the investors regarding the Company or the securities offered.
On August 12, 2008, Actiga consummated a closing of $1,500,000 Unsecured Promissory Note (the “Unsecured Note”) with a lender. Under the terms of the Unsecured Note, lender will receive the principal amount of $1,500,000 plus simple interest, in cash, at the rate of 25% per annum two years from the closing date of the Unsecured Note (the “Maturity Date”). The lender will also receive two additional benefits as part of the Unsecured Note: (i) a warrant to purchase one million, five-hundred thousand (1,500,000) shares of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable common stock of the Company, at the exercise price of $1.75 per share and (ii) three percent (3%) of all net revenues received by Company pursuant to the licensing agreement, dated July 1, 2008, between CBS and the Company, during the term of this Unsecured Note.
The Company is entitled to prepay all amounts owed under the Unsecured Note at any time. If such prepayment is made before the first anniversary of the date hereof, the Company’s payment of interest shall equal the amount of interest as would have been accrued under this Unsecured Note on the first anniversary of the
execution of the Unsecured Note without prepayment. If prepayment is made after the first anniversary of the execution of the Unsecured Note, the Company shall pay the interest accrued up to and including the date of prepayment. If the Company does exercise its right to prepay all amounts due under this Unsecured Note, the revenue share percentage for payments owed to the lender described above shall be reduced from three percent (3%) to one and one half percent (1.5%) from the date of prepayment or the first anniversary of the execution of the Unsecured Note (whichever is later) until the Maturity Date.
Item 5. Other Information
On October 3, 2008, the Company consummated a closing of four unsecured promissory notes (“Promissory Notes’) in the aggregate amount of $140,000. Under the terms of the promissory notes, the lender will receive the principal amount plus interest at the rate of 12% on the one year anniversary of the promissory note. In the event the Company defaults on the Promissory Notes, interest will continue to accrue until and including the date of repayment in full. The Promissory Notes may be prepaid in full at any time and in which case the Company will be subject to a prepayment premium which shall be the total interest due on the Promissory Notes on the one year anniversary.
On October 17, 2008 the Company filed a Form 8-K with the SEC. As a result of the financing conditions reported, the Company is in default of a 12% Note with an Option to convert due on May 15, 2009 (the “Note”) between the Company and a lender in the amount of $50,000 that was subscribed for as part of our bridge offering reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on April 18, 2008. Upon an event of default, the lender at its election may call for the repayment in cash of the full principal amount of the Note together with interest and other amounts owing under the Note. The Company received a waiver of the default condition from the investor on November 11, 2008.
Since October 17, 2008 the Company has not met its payroll obligations to its employees. Total unpaid payroll including vacation on separation totals $160,114. The Company has scaled down its workforce to a few key employees, who have also agreed to accept stock compensation in the company in lieu of payroll. The Company has minimized its operations in order to conserve its working capital. The Company is currently seeking and reviewing financing and other strategic options to correct this situation. If the Company is unable to secure immediate substantial financing it most likely will sell its business, cease its operations or declare bankruptcy.
As of November 2008 the Company is seeking to enter into an asset purchase agreement to dispose of certain QMotions assets and liabilities to a group of certain former employees of QMotions. The contemplated asset purchase agreement will transfer an aggregate amount of liabilities that exceeds the aggregate amount of assets. The terms of the asset purchase agreement have not been finalized and continue to be negotiated by management.
