NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended July 31, 2009 and 2008
1 | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information has been prepared by Webdigs, Inc. (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, it does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of this financial information have been included. Financial results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole or any other interim period. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended October 31, 2008.
2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Nature of Business
Webdigs, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated on May 25, 1994 under the name of Select Video, Inc. The Company changed to its current name on October 23, 2007. Select Video, Inc. was an inactive shell from February 29, 2000 to October 24, 2007 when they entered into a Share Exchange and Acquisition Agreement whereby it agreed to issue 15,818,251 shares of its common stock to its subsidiary Select Video Acquisition, LLC which in-turn used those shares to acquire all of the outstanding units of Webdigs, LLC, a private company organized in the state of Minnesota resulting in Webdigs, LLC as the surviving entity. Webdigs, LLC, based in Minneapolis, MN, was organized on May 1, 2007. All of the Company’s real estate brokerage operations are operated under Webdigs, LLC. Our two main real estate brokerage brands are Webdigs and Iggys House. Webdigs.com is a web-assisted real estate website and broker, offering a similar customer experience as a full service broker utilizing a discounted flat-rate percentage fee structure for listing services to their selling customers and a graduated fee structure for their buying customers by rebating up to one-half of its broker commissions. IggysHouse.com is a web-assisted real-estate listing service which enables the customer to pay a monthly discounted fee to list their homes on their local real estate multiple listing service but for which there is no additional fee upon the closing of the transaction.
Upon completion of the transaction on October 24, 2007, Webdigs, LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of Webdigs, Inc. Since the transaction resulted in the existing members of Webdigs, LLC acquiring control of Webdigs, Inc., for financial statement purposes, the merger has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Webdigs, Inc. (a reverse merger with Webdigs, LLC as the accounting acquirer).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended July 31, 2009 and 2008
Consolidation Policies
The consolidated financial statements for the nine month periods ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, include the accounts of Webdigs, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Webdigs, LLC, which includes wholly owned subsidiaries of Home Equity Advisors, LLC, and Credit Garage, LLC. The investment in Marketplace Home Mortgage - Webdigs, LLC (49% ownership) is recorded on the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. The Company divested one of its subsidiaries, Marquest Financial, Inc. on June 4, 2009 (see Note 6). The net results from Marquest have been segregated for all periods presented in the statement of operations.
Estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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 at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Debt Issuance Costs
The Company accounts for debt issuance costs and other debt discounts by amortizing the amounts using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt instrument.
Intangible Assets
We have five types of intangible assets.
Website Development
The primary interface with the customer in our web-assisted real estate broker operation is the Webdigs.com website. Certain costs incurred in development of this website have been capitalized according to provision in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-2, Accounting for Website Development Costs (EITF 00-2), and AICPA Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Amortization is on a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the website of 3 years. No additional costs were capitalized for the year ended October 31, 2008 or the nine months ended July 31, 2009.
In June 2009, we acquired the assets of Iggys House, Inc. The most significant acquired asset was the website of Iggys. We have capitalized this technology at $1,336,769 and expect to begin amortizing it over a 2 year period it when the site has again become operational.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended July 31, 2009 and 2008
Customer Lists
The Company accounts for customer lists under Statement of Financial Accounting Statements (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). Amortization expense is calculated using the straight-line method (which approximates the anticipated revenue stream back to the Company) over the lists estimated 2-3 year life. In June 2009, we acquired two separate customer lists from Iggys House for a fair value totaling $355,922. We will amortize these costs over the estimated 2 year useful life of the lists.
Non-Compete Agreements
The Company accounts for non-compete agreements under Statement of Financial Accounting Statements (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). Amortization expense is calculated using the straight-line method (which approximates the anticipated revenue stream back to the Company) over the agreement’s estimated 2 year life. In the case of the asset purchase of Iggys House, Inc. we have identified the fair value of the non-compete agreement at $266,019.
Website Domain Names
The Company accounts for its website domain names under Statement of Financial Accounting Statements (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). We purchased 17 domain names in May 2009 from theMLSdirect.com and expect to amortize the fair value of these names over a 2 year estimate useful life. We have valued these domain names at $25,000.
Contractual Relationships
The Company accounts for its contractual relationships intangible assets under Statement of Financial Accounting Statements (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). We purchased contractual broker arrangements for brokers in 17 different states in May from theMLSdirect.com and expect to amortize the fair value of these names over a 2 year estimate useful life. We have valued these contractual relationships at $27,000.
The Company last assessed impairment of intangible assets at October 31, 2008 and determined that there was no impairment. The Company concluded that no impairment was present at July 31, 2009. The Company will retest for impairment on October 31, 2009.
Investment in Marketplace Home Mortgage – Webdigs, LLC
On August 1, 2008, the Company contributed non-cash assets into a joint venture created with Marketplace Home Mortgage, LLC for a 49% ownership interest (see Note 7). The Company accounts for its investment in the joint venture using the equity method. Accordingly, the Company records an increase in its investment for contributions to the joint venture and for its 49% share of any income of the joint venture, and a reduction in its investment for its 49% share of any losses of the joint venture or disbursements of profits from the joint venture.

For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended July 31, 2009 and 2008
Segments
Historically, the Company has reported two strategic operating segments; (1) web-assisted real estate broker and (2) mortgage broker. Due to the divestiture of Marquest Financial, Inc. and the limited activity in the operations of Marketplace Home Mortgage – Webdigs, LLC the Company has determined that the mortgage segment is no longer significant to its operations and therefore, now reports as one strategic reporting segment.
Accounting for Convertible Debentures, Warrants and Derivative Instruments
The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for purposes of risk management or speculation. However, from time to time, the Company enters into contracts that are not considered derivative financial instruments in their entirety but that include embedded derivative features.
The Company accounts for its embedded conversion features and freestanding warrants pursuant to SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133) and EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock (EITF 00-19) which requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a company’s own stock to be designated as an equity instrument, asset, or a liability. Under the provisions of EITF 00-19, a contract designated as an asset or a liability must be carried at fair value on a company’s balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in the results of operations.
In accordance with EITF 00-19, certain warrants to purchase common stock and embedded conversion options are accounted for as liabilities at fair value and the unrealized changes in the values of these derivatives are recorded in the statement of operations as “gain or loss on warrants and derivatives.” Contingent conversion features that reduce the conversion price of warrants and conversion features are included in the valuation of the warrants and the conversion features. The recognition of the fair value of derivative liabilities (i.e. warrants and embedded conversion options) at the date of issuance is applied first to the proceeds. The excess fair value, if any, over the proceeds from a debt instrument, is recognized immediately in the statement of operations as interest expense. The value of warrants or derivatives associated with a debt instrument is recognized at inception as a discount to the debt instrument. This discount is amortized over the life of the debt instrument using the effective interest method. A determination is made upon settlement, exchange, or modification of the debt instruments to determine if a gain or loss on the extinguishment has been incurred based on the terms of the settlement, exchange, or modification and on the value allocated to the debt instrument at such date.

WEBDIGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended July 31, 2009 and 2008
The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine fair values of its derivatives. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates, exchange rates, and option volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management’s judgment and may impact net income (loss). The fair value of the derivative liabilities are subject to the changes in the trading value of the Company’s common stock. As a result, the Company’s financial statements may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter based on factors, such as the bid price of the Company’s stock at the balance sheet date, the amount of shares converted by note holders and/or exercised by warrant holders, and changes in the determination of market-sourced inputs. Consequently, the Company’s financial position and results of operations may vary materially from quarter-to-quarter based on conditions other than its operating revenues and expenses.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax amounts are determined using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under currently enacted tax law. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets as of July 31, 2009 and 2008 because realization of those assets is not reasonably assured.
GAAP requires the recognition of a financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

In June 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF on Issue No. 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF No. 07-5”). EITF No. 07-5 addresses the determination of whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. EITF No. 07-5 would require the entity to account for embedded conversion options as derivatives and record them on the balance sheet as a liability with subsequent fair value changes recorded in the income statement. EITF-07-5 is effective for the financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and early adoption is prohibited. The Company has not yet determined the effect that the adoption of EITF 07-5 will have on its consolidated financial statements, particularly with respect to its Convertible/Promissory Note Payable (See Note 8).
3 | GOING CONCERN |
The Company has incurred significant operating losses for the nine month periods ended July 31, 2009 and 2008. At July 31, 2009, the Company reports a negative working capital position of $1,084,360 and an accumulated deficit of $3,548,092. It is management’s opinion that these facts raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without additional debt or equity financing.
In order to meet its working capital needs through the next twelve months, the Company plans to raise additional funds through the issuance of additional shares of common stock and debt through private placements. Although the Company intends to obtain additional financing to meet our cash needs, we may be unable to secure any additional financing on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us, if at all. The Company has already begun reducing operating expenditures and expects to increase revenues through its existing Webdigs.com customer base and the fourth quarter addition of revenue from its Iggyshouse.com website.

5 | FIXED ASSETS AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS |
On June 12, 2009, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Iggys House, Inc. (Iggys House) to acquire selected assets of Iggys House in consideration of $157,733 in cash and the issuance of a total of 7,262,500 shares of Webdigs common stock to the former owners of Iggys House. Iggys House is a dormant entity that previously had operated as a web-assisted real estate broker in 38 states. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, not a business combination, as per the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (R) Business Combinations.
The Company calculated total consideration given for the asset purchase at $1,973,358 using a per share value of $0.25 for the 7,262,500 issued as part of the transaction and the $157,733 in cash paid. The Company allocated the fair value of the purchase consistent with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The Company plans to amortize the intangible assets ratably over their estimated useful lives of two years. The initial allocated fair values for the asset purchase are as follows in the table below. The Company did not undertake an independent valuation study of the assets at this time and as such, the allocation is preliminary and future refinements may materialize.

Acquisition
The following acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (R), Business Combinations; accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired based on the estimated fair values determined by the Company’s management based upon information currently available and on current assumptions as to future operations.
The Company acquired the intangible assets, including a series of exclusive website domain names and operations from the owners of theMLSDirect.com on May 13, 2009. The Company gave consideration consisting of $5,000 cash and 100,000 shares of restricted common stock to complete the transaction. The share issuance was valued at $0.47 per common share based upon the quoted OTC Bulletin Board price on the date of closing for a total share value of $47,000. The business operations of theMLSDirect.com have been integrated into the existing Webdigs, LLC operating entity.
The total purchase consideration of $52,000 was allocated to the acquired identifiable intangible assets, based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The estimated allocation of the purchase consideration was as follows:

Divestiture
On June 4, 2009 the Company sold its 100% equity interest in Marquest Financial, Inc., a non-operating entity which, until August 2008, had been the Company’s principal mortgage brokerage operation. In August 2008, the Company entered into a joint venture with Marketplace Home Mortgage, LLC forming Marketplace Home Mortgage – Webdigs, LLC, the Company’s current mortgage brokerage entity (see Note 7). Marquest was sold back to its founder, Mr. Edward Graca for 1,063,628 shares of the Company’s common stock which was valued at $0.25 per share based upon the quoted OTC bulletin Board price quoted at the date of closing. The shares had a total value of $265,907 and the net carrying value of the Marquest entity was a negative $31,505. Accordingly, the transaction resulted in a gain of $297,412. The shares received by the Company were the shares provided to Graca back when it was originally purchased from him in October 2007. The shares returned in this divestiture were retained by the Company as treasury stock.

7 | INVESTMENT IN MARKETPLACE HOME MORTGAGE - WEBDIGS, LLC |
On August 1, 2008, the Company entered into a joint venture arrangement with Marketplace Home Mortgage, LLC whereby they created a new joint venture entity called Marketplace Home Mortgage – Webdigs, LLC. The Company contributed assets with a net book value totaling $34,804 less transferred liabilities of $23,558 for a 49% ownership stake in the joint venture, and Marketplace Home Mortgage, LLC contributed cash totaling $23,039 for 51% ownership. The assets and liabilities contributed came entirely from the Company’s mortgage brokerage subsidiaries; Marquest Financial, Inc. and Home Equity Advisors, LLC. All mortgage brokerage activity previously performed within these entities will now take place under the new joint venture created August 1, 2008. Because the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence as a result of rights granted in the purchase agreement and its 49% ownership stake, the Company has accounted for this transaction as an equity investment.
Summarized financial information for this joint venture is as follows:

8 | CONVERTIBLE/PROMISSORY NOTE PAYABLE |
On December 12, 2008, the Company entered into a $250,000 convertible/promissory note (the Note) with Lantern Advisers, LLC (“Lantern”). The Note contains a simple interest rate of 12% per annum with $2,500 (1%) payable to the lender on a monthly basis. The Note proceeds were reduced by issuance and legal costs of $24,000 to arrive at net proceeds of $226,000. The Note terms require repayment on or before September 30, 2009. Company executive officers and managers have pledged as collateral 4,510,910 shares of the Company’s common stock which would be awarded to Lantern in the event of non-fulfillment of the terms of the Note. The Company’s Chairman and CEO has also provided a personal guaranty for the entire amount of the Note.
In connection with the Note, the Company issued Lantern 200,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.10 per share. The share price of $.10 per share was based on the most recent share price at which the Company had sold shares for cash to accredited investors (prior to the listing of the Company’s stock on the OTC bulletin board on December 19, 2008). The issuance of these shares was recorded as a discount to the Note and will be recognized over the term of the Note using the effective interest method.
As additional consideration for the Note, the Company issued Lantern a three-year detachable warrant expiring December 11, 2011 to purchase up to 200,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share (the “Warrant”) which was deemed to have a fair market value of $1,651 at the time of issuance. The Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model as a method for determining the estimated fair value of the warrants issued. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair market value of the warrant: risk free interest rate of 1.1%; expected life of 1.5 years; no expected dividends; and volatility of 74%. The expected life of the Warrant was determined using management’s estimate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the Federal Reserve Board’s constant maturities of U.S. Treasury bond obligations with terms comparable to the expected life of the warrants valued. The Company’s volatility is based on the historical volatility of publicly traded companies with similar business and risk characteristics of the Company. The expense for the warrant was recorded as a discount to the Note and will be recognized over the term of the Note using the effective interest method.
In addition to the above conditions, under the original agreement date of December 12, 2008, the Note would have been convertible at the option of Lantern at any time into shares of the Company's common stock at a price equal to 75% of the lowest bid price of the 5 days preceding conversion of the Note. On December 12, 2008, this conversion feature would have converted into 3,333,333 common shares of the Company’s stock at a conversion price of $.075 per share. On May 14, 2009, the Company agreed to revised terms for the promissory note. The revisions to the promissory note eliminated the optional conversion feature. As consideration for the elimination of the conversion feature, the Company issued Lantern Advisers a warrant to purchase up to 300,000 shares of Webdigs common stock at $0.01 per share on or before December 12, 2009. Using the Black-Scholes pricing model, these warrants had a fair value of $138,010 which has been recorded as interest expense for the three month period ended July 31, 2009. Other than as described above, there were no other changes to the terms of the promissory note.

WEBDIGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended July 31, 2009 and 2008
In connection with the above-described revision to the promissory note, the Company paid Lantern Advisers $100,000 in principal under the promissory note, thereby reducing the outstanding principal amount to $150,000. This amount, plus all then accrued but unpaid interest remains due on September 30, 2009.
Because the optional conversion feature has been eliminated from the promissory note, the derivative elements of this debt transaction are no longer considered to be a financial derivative. Therefore, the fair value of the conversion feature and embedded warrant as of April 30, 2009, which totaled $191,291, has been reclassified to additional paid in capital during the three month period ended July 31, 2009.
9 | SHARE- BASED COMPENSATION |
Stock Options
In May 2008, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of incentive stock options totaling 600,000 shares to its non-employee directors. The exercise price of the options to purchase common stock was at the fair market value of such shares on the date of the grant. Options generally become exercisable ratably on the anniversary of the date of the grant over a period of up to 2 years. There are no vesting provisions tied to performance conditions for any outstanding options. Vesting for all outstanding options is based solely on continued service as a director of the Company and vest one-half on the grant date and one-quarter on each of the next two yearly anniversaries of the grant. Options to purchase shares expire not later than five years after the grant of the option. One of the Company’s directors resigned his position in July 2009. As part of the separation agreement negotiated with the director, the Company immediately declared as fully vested the previously unvested portion of his options.
In June 2009, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 200,000 incentive stock options to an employee of the Company. The options were issued on June 12, 2009 and shall vest annually (50,000 options each) on each of the four anniversary dates of the granting of the options. The exercise price of the shares purchased under these options shall be determined by calculating 75% of closing stock price on the last working day prior to the vesting date of the options. The options will expire five years after the original grant date.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock options over the requisite service period for vesting of the award. Total stock-based compensation expense included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008 was $18,861 and $41,610 respectively. This expense is included in general and administrative expense.

As of July 31, 2009, the Company had $20,614 of unrecognized compensation expense related to the outstanding stock options, which will be recognized over the next four years.
The fair value of each option grant was estimated as of the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model.
The following is a summary of stock option activity for the nine months ended July 31, 2009:

The intrinsic value of a stock award is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the award. As of July 31, 2009, the Company’s stock was quoted at $0.10 per share. The total intrinsic value of the outstanding options was $5,000 at July 31, 2009.
Restricted Stock Compensation
As of July 31, 2009, the Company had completed the vesting of 6,388,310 shares of time-based restricted common stock (non-vested shares) outstanding to certain officers and employees of the Company. This is the remaining balance after forfeitures of an original grant of 8,610,347 restricted shares. The original grants took place in the period ended October 31, 2007. As a condition of the award, the officers and employees must be employed with the Company in order to continue to vest in their shares over a two year period. The fair value of the non-vested shares is equal to the fair market value on the date of grant and is recognized as expense ratably over the vesting period.

11 | BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE |
The Company computes earnings per share under two different methods, basic and diluted, and present per share data for all periods in which statements of operations are presented. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008.

General Overview
We are a web-assisted, full service real estate company that offers innovative services to home buyers and sellers. We share with each buyer up to one-half (50%) of the commission we receive from the seller or listing broker, with a minimum fee of $3,000 per transaction to the Company. We also offer discounted listing services to customers wishing to sell their homes. Our total commission to our sellers is a flat rate of 3.9%, compared to a real estate industry full service standard commission of 6%. Since more than 70% of home buyers today begin their home search on the internet, we primarily target those home buyers. As part of our website interface and personal service, we also provide home buyers tools to manage their purchase transactions from initial search to the closing of their purchase.

Results of Operation
For the three month periods ended July 31, 2009 and 2008
We are pleased with the result of the quarter ended July 31, 2009. We cut our operating losses by 55% to $221,659 for the three months ended July 31, 2009 as compared to a loss of $490,462 for the three month period ended July 31, 2008. On a consolidated level, net revenues increased 75% from $141,033 for the quarter ended July 31, 2008 to $247,326 for the quarter ended July 31, 2009. We are pleased, that our core real estate operations continue to grow; net revenues were up 75% in the quarter ended July 31, 2009 despite a 73% decrease ($80,843) in advertising & promotion expenses. Sequentially, we grew net real estate brokerage revenues 317% compared to the quarter ended April 30, 2009. In the three month period ended April 30, 2009, we recorded net real estate revenue of $59,241 compared to $247,326 for the quarter ended July 31, 2009.
On a transaction level, we grew by 55% versus the same three month period last year. For the quarter ended July 31, 2009 we closed 62 real estate transactions compared to 40 for the three month period ended July 31, 2008.
We also have continued to evolve our real estate model and improve operating efficiencies. For the quarter ended July 31, 2009, our top producing agents have been able to comfortably generate and close up to 10 transactions individually per month.
During the quarter ended July 31, 2009, we continued to focus our marketing expenditures towards low cost highly targeted real estate marketing in order to become cash flow positive on a quarterly basis as soon as possible. To achieve these goals, we reduced selling expenses from $353,252 in three months ended July 31, 2008 to $243,192 for the three months ended July 31, 2009. Most significant among the selling cost decreases were two items: website development and advertising and promotion. We cut our www.webdigs.com website upkeep and development and other information technology expenses from $109,234 for the three months ended July 31, 2008 to $32,666 for the three months ended July 31, 2009. For the same three month periods, we reduced advertising and promotion from $111,384 to $30,541.
We continue to strive to limit the spending we do on administration. For the three months ended July 31, 2009, we were able to reduce our general and administrative spending by $52,450 to $225,793 compared to $278,243 for three months ended July 31, 2008. The most significant general and administrative expense decrease was in non-cash compensation. Non-cash stock compensation costs directed to employees and directors decreased by $34,861 from $83,340 for the three months ended July 31, 2008 to $48,479 for the three months ended July 31, 2009. The additional $17,589 decrease in administrative spending is largely due to a 1 person decrease in management staffing.
We experienced significant interest costs of $210,630 in the period ended July 31, 2009. For the same period ended July 31, 2008, interest expenses totaled $462. Of the approximately $210,000 increase versus last year, over 96% of the change (approximately $202,000) is due to interest charges coming from our promissory note and a one-time charge to interest for the warrants issued to Lantern in connection with the note modification (see Note 8 of the financial statements). The remaining increase of approximately $8,000 comes from interest charges from our suppliers for overdue payables.
31
On June 4, 2009, we unwound our prior acquisition of Marquest Financial, Inc. In the process, we returned the entire legal Marquest Financial, Inc. entity to its previous owner, Mr. Edward Graca in exchange for 1,063,628 shares of Webdigs common stock which were owned by him. In doing so, we recognized a gain of $297,412. Marquest also had operating losses of $4,726 for the quarter ended July 31, 2009, resulting in income from discontinued operations of $292,686 (see Note 6 of the financial statements for more details).
For the nine month periods ended July 31, 2009 and 2008
We are pleased to report that our operating losses have been reduced by $830,019 (51%) for the nine month period ended July 31, 2009. We had operating losses of $791,263 for the nine month periods ended July 31, 2009 compared to a loss of $1,621,282 for the same period last year. On a consolidated level, net revenues increased 31% from $263,935 for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 to $345,194 for the nine months ended July 31, 2009. The most encouraging part of the revenue increase is that our core real estate sales were up 67% from $206,366 for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 to $345,194 for the nine months ended July 31, 2009. Our business focus is centered on building our real estate brokerage operations so the real estate revenue growth is important. Consistent with the revenue increase, we have seen a year over year growth of 43% in the number of real estate transactions closed (from 61 to 87) for the nine month periods ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Despite a decrease of $776,330 (58%) to $563,036 in selling expenses in the nine months ended July 31, 2009 compared to the nine months ended July 31, 2008, we are satisfied with our marketing results. We have streamlined our marketing operations. Most notably, Webdigs has reduced real estate brokerage advertising and promotion expenditures by $388,969 (85%) through elimination of print, TV and outdoor advertising. Advertising in the current fiscal year (nine months ended July 31, 2009) has successfully relied upon targeted direct mail and internet marketing. Of the remaining $387,361 decrease in real estate brokerage selling expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2009, $317,792 comes from reductions in website and other information technology expenses. We incurred $385,626 in information technology expenses (real estate brokerage focused) in the nine months ended July 31, 2008. For the nine months ended July 31, 2009, we have incurred only $67,834 in information technology expenses.
32
For the nine month periods ended July 31, 2009, we incurred $573,421 in general and administrative expense spending compared to $545,851 for the same period last year. Although these costs have increased by $27,520 compared to the prior year, we continue to hold a low administrative cost structure. If we exclude the $120,000 of non-cash investor relations expenses we incurred in the nine month period ended July 31, 2009, (coming from stock issuances related to the Company’s transition to publically traded status in the current fiscal year), our administrative costs decreased by $92,480. The most significant cost decreases result from reductions in use of outside contractors ($21,523 savings), reduced audit expenses ($18,676) and legal fees ($31,109).
Our interest expense costs of $303,484 for the nine month period ended July 31, 2009 are largely due to the convertible/promissory note with Lantern Advisers (see Note 8 of the financial statements). The Lantern note accounts for approximately $289,000 of the $303,484 year to date expense with the remainder due to vendor finance charges.
As mentioned above, on June 4, 2009, we unwound our prior acquisition of Marquest Financial, Inc. Due to the unwinding, we recognized a gain of $297,412. Marquest’s nine month operating losses of $13,003 offset the gain on disposal resulting in overall income from discontinued operations of $284,409 for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 (see Note 6 of the financial statements for more details).
Assets and Employees; Research and Development
Our primary assets are cash and intellectual-property rights, which are the foundation for our services. At this time, we do not anticipate purchasing or selling any significant equipment or other assets in the near term. Neither do we anticipate any imminent or significant changes in the number of our employees. We have recently acquired the assets of Iggys House, Inc. (Iggys) and the business of theMLSDirect.com. Iggys was formerly a web-based online real estate broker that had operations in 38 states. We expect that the acquisition of Iggys along with the continued organic growth we expect to generate with our www.webdigs.com real estate brokerage will ultimately result in the addition of real estate field agents, an increase in website development costs and a small increase in administrative staffing. TheMLSDirect.com brings to us an existing network of affiliate brokers in 17 states and exclusive rights to 17 website domain names that should help us generate leads for our Webdigs real estate operations.
We expect that we will invest time, effort and expense in the continued refinement of our website and the recently acquired www.iggyshouse.com website and user interface. Currently, we expect to spend approximately $125,000 in such improvement activities over the remaining quarterof fiscal 2009. As mentioned above, as of July 31, 2009 we have spent approximately $68,000 of our anticipated $125,000 current fiscal year website spending.
33
Liquidity and Capital Resources; Anticipated Financing Needs
As of July 31, 2009, we had $46,309 cash and cash equivalents, and current liabilities of $1,191,743. On December 12, 2008, we obtained a convertible promissory note in the amount of $250,000 from an investment group affiliated with current shareholders of the Company (see Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements for note conditions and details) for working capital needs. After an early prepayment principal reduction of $100,000, our current balance of the promissory note is $150,000 due on September 30, 2009.
We used $298,716 of cash in operating activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2009 compared to $888,914 for the nine months ended July 31, 2008. Cash used in operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 included a net loss of $855,144, which was partially offset by $361,523 of various non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, debt discount, gain on disposal of Marquest Financial, issuance cost amortization, unrealized losses on derivatives, change in our equity position with our joint venture and shares issued for vendor payment. For the nine months ended July 31, 2008, these non-cash items totaled $337,682. For the nine months ended July 31, 2009, we were able to make progress on reducing balances owed to key vendors, thereby using $25,893 of cash for a reduction in accounts payable. The decrease in accounts payable of $25,893 is partially offset by increases in accounts payable owed to related parties of $76,580 and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $52,209.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2009, cash flows used in investing activities included payments of $157,733 for the purchase of Iggy’s House Inc. intangible assets, and $5,000 used for the business acquisition of theMLSDirect.com. For the same period last year, we invested $18,216 in computer equipment.
In total, financing activities provided $469,956 and $818,038 for the nine month periods ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As mentioned above, the convertible/promissory note we issued in December provided net cash proceeds of $126,000 (after paying $4,000 in issuance costs and $20,000 in accrued legal fees and later by making a principal payment of $100,000). In the nine months ended July 31, 2008 we generated $841,500 from the issuance of common stock. In the current fiscal year, we have received $335,500 from common stock issuances. In addition, in the current nine month period ended July 31, 2009, officer payables increases provided $11,294 cash compared to a $17,601 use of cash for the nine months ended July 31, 2008.
For our issuances of common stock in the private placement offering, we relied on the exemption from federal registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. We relied on this exemption and the safe harbor thereunder based on the fact that there was one single investor who qualified as an “accredited investors” under Rule 501 of the Securities Act of 1933 and who had knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that it was capable of evaluating the risks of the investment. The securities offered and sold in the transaction were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and therefore may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The disclosure about the private placement offering contained in this information statement is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company.
34
Given our relatively low cash position, our near term focus for the remaining quarter of fiscal 2009 continues to be to create some positive operating cash flow from our web-assisted real estate brokerage operations. While we believe that our year over year revenue growth will remain strong up until and past our current fiscal year ending October 31, 2009, we recognize that we will need to raise additional capital to fund our operations this upcoming winter until the seasonal real estate business re-commences growth in spring of 2010. We retain our expectation that the growth of our core brokerage operations will provide us with a solid base from which we believe we would be able to raise an additional $5 to $6 million to fund expansion. If we succeed in raising such amount, we believe that we would have sufficient capital to fund our operations and expansion plans indefinitely. To achieve a more accelerated growth, however, we would likely require additional financing to fund acquisitions and development of related business opportunities.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 disclosures. We evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis. 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 for 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.
We consider the following accounting policies to be those most important to the portrayal of our results of operations and financial condition:
Revenue Recognition
Our online real estate brokerage business recognizes revenue at the closing of a real estate transaction. Commissions and rebates due to third party real estate agents or consumers are accrued at the time of closing and treated as an offset to gross revenues. Our mortgage brokerage business recognizes commissions received and loan fees earned at the time a mortgage loan closes.
35
Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock incentive plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on estimated fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. Share-based compensation expense includes compensation cost for restricted stock awards.
Intangible Assets
We have five types of intangible assets.
Website Development
The primary interface with the customer in our web-assisted real estate broker operation is the Webdigs.com website. Certain costs incurred in development of this website have been capitalized according to provision in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-2, Accounting for Website Development Costs (EITF 00-2), and AICPA Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Amortization is on a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the website of 3 years. No additional costs were capitalized for the year ended October 31, 2008 or the nine months ended July 31, 2009.
Customer Lists
The Company accounts for customer lists under Statement of Financial Accounting Statements (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). Amortization expense is calculated using the straight-line method (which approximates the anticipated revenue stream back to the Company) over the lists estimated 2-3 year life. In June 2009, we acquired two separate customer lists from Iggys House for a fair value totaling $355,922. We will amortize these costs over the estimated 2 year useful life of the lists.
Non-Compete Agreements
The Company accounts for non-compete agreements under Statement of Financial Accounting Statements (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). Amortization expense is calculated using the straight-line method (which approximates the anticipated revenue stream back to the Company) over the agreement’s estimated 2 year life. In the case of the asset purchase of Iggys House, Inc. we have identified the fair value of the non-compete agreement at $266,019.
Website Domain Names
The Company accounts for its website domain names under Statement of Financial Accounting Statements (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). We purchased 17 domain names in May 2009 from theMLSdirect.com and expect to amortize the fair value of these names over a 2 year estimate useful life. We have valued these domain names at $25,000.
36
Contractual Relationships
The Company accounts for its contractual relationships intangible assets under Statement of Financial Accounting Statements (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). We purchased contractual broker arrangements for brokers in 17 different states in May from theMLSdirect.com and expect to amortize the fair value of these names over a 2 year estimate useful life. We have valued these contractual relationships at $27,000.
The Company last assessed impairment of intangible assets at October 31, 2008 and determined that there was no impairment. The Company concluded that no impairment was present at July 31, 2009. The Company will retest for impairment on October 31, 2009.
Investment in Marketplace Home Mortgage
On August 1, 2008, the Company contributed non-cash assets into a joint venture created with Marketplace Home Mortgage, LLC for a 49% ownership interest (see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements). The Company accounts for its investment in the joint venture using the equity method. Accordingly, the Company records an increase in its investment for contributions to the joint venture and for its 49% share of the income of the joint venture, and a reduction in its investment for its 49% share of any losses of the joint venture or disbursements of profits from the joint venture.
Accounting for Convertible Debentures, Warrants and Derivative Instruments
The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for purposes of risk management or speculation. However, from time to time, the Company enters into contracts that are not considered derivative financial instruments in their entirety but that include embedded derivative features.
The Company accounts for its embedded conversion features and freestanding warrants pursuant to SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133) and EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock (EITF 00-19) which requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a company’s own stock to be designated as an equity instrument, asset, or a liability. Under the provisions of EITF 00-19, a contract designated as an asset or a liability must be carried at fair value on a company’s balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in the results of operations.
37
In accordance with EITF 00-19, certain warrants to purchase common stock and embedded conversion options are accounted for as liabilities at fair value and the unrealized changes in the values of these derivatives are recorded in the statement of operations as “gain or loss on warrants and derivatives.” Contingent conversion features that reduce the conversion price of warrants and conversion features are included in the valuation of the warrants and the conversion features. The recognition of the fair value of derivative liabilities (i.e. warrants and embedded conversion options) at the date of issuance is applied first to the proceeds. The excess fair value, if any, over the proceeds from a debt instrument, is recognized immediately in the statement of operations as interest expense. The value of warrants or derivatives associated with a debt instrument is recognized at inception as a discount to the debt instrument. This discount is amortized over the life of the debt instrument using the effective interest method. A determination is made upon settlement, exchange, or modification of the debt instruments to determine if a gain or loss on the extinguishment has been incurred based on the terms of the settlement, exchange, or modification and on the value allocated to the debt instrument at such date.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine fair values of its derivatives. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates, exchange rates, and option volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management’s judgment and may impact net income (loss). The fair value of the derivative liabilities are subject to the changes in the trading value of the Company’s common stock. As a result, the Company’s financial statements may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter based on factors, such as the bid price of the Company’s stock at the balance sheet date, the amount of shares converted by note holders and/or exercised by warrant holders, and changes in the determination of market-sourced inputs. Consequently, the Company’s financial position and results of operations may vary materially from quarter-to-quarter based on conditions other than its operating revenues and expenses.
Seasonality of Business
The residential real estate market has traditionally experienced seasonality, with a peak in the spring and summer seasons and a decrease in activity during the fall and winter seasons. We expect revenues in each quarter to be significantly affected by activity during the prior quarter, given the time lag between contract execution and closing.
Going Concern
The Company incurred significant operating losses for the nine month period ended July 31, 2009 and 2008. At July 31, 2009, the Company reports a negative working capital position of $1,084,360 and accumulated deficit of $3,548,092. It is management’s opinion that these facts raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without additional debt or equity financing.
Our consolidated financial statements included 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. Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately depends on achieving profitability, producing revenues or raising additional capital to sustain operations. Although we intend to obtain additional financing to meet our cash needs, we may be unable to secure any additional financing on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us, if at all.

Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Under the supervision of, and the participation of, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation and taking into account that certain material weaknesses existed as of October 31, 2008, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. As a result of this conclusion, the financial statements for the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were prepared with particular attention to the material weaknesses previously disclosed. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in internal controls that continue to exist as of July 31, 2009, we have concluded that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as required for interim financial statements.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2009, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management has concluded that the material weaknesses in internal control as described in Item 9A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2008 have not been remediated. Due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters and the expenses associated with increasing the number of employees to remediate the disclosure control and procedure material weaknesses that have been identified, the Company continued to operate without changes to its internal controls over financial reporting for the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q while continuing to seek the expertise it needs to remediate the material weaknesses.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
`
During the nine month period ended July 31, 2009, the Company offered and sold 2,227,000 shares of common stock in a series of private placements at per share prices ranging between $0.10 and $0.40 per share. The Company received gross proceeds of $335,500 from these sales. As part of the asset purchase agreement with Iggys House, Inc. the Company also issued 160,000 shares as a commission to Northland Securities for its work in the sale of 375,000 of the 2,227,000 shares. The Company paid no cash commissions or cash fees in connection with these private placements.
For these issuances of common stock in the private placement offering, we relied on the exemption from federal registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. We relied on this exemption and the safe harbor thereunder based on the fact that the investors who purchased these securities qualified as an “accredited investors” under Rule 501 of the Securities Act of 1933 and who had knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that it was capable of evaluating the risks of the investment. The securities offered and sold in the transaction were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and therefore may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The disclosure about the private placement offering contained in this information statement is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company.
