Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2008
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Presentation of Interim Information and Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Secured Digital Storage Corporation (SDS) and Secured Digital Storage LLC (collectively the “Company”). In the opinion of management of SDS, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all normal adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2008 and the results of operations for the three-months and nine-months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related cash flows for the nine-months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial statements. These financial statements reflect all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments, with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Provision for depreciation is made generally at rates designed to allocate the cost of the property and equipment over their estimated useful lives of 3 - 15 years. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method. The cost of ordinary maintenance and repairs is charged to operations while renewals and replacements are capitalized.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R), which revises SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123) and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25). SFAS 123R requires that share-based payment transactions with employees be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value and recognized as compensation expense. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company issued options during 2007 and 2008 which resulted in the recognition of stock-based compensation expense of $198,692 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 and $2,718 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. No tax benefit has been recorded due to the full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets that the Company has recorded. All stock awards granted by the Company have an exercise price based on either the 10 day trailing price or the closing market value or the value of any existing new equity offerings on date of grant of the underlying common stock.
The fair value of each award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (minimum value method), assuming no expected dividends or forfeiture rate and the following assumptions:
| | 2008 | | 2007 | |
Expected volatility factor | | | 200 | % | | 10 | % |
Risk free interest rate | | | 2.85 | | | 4.50 | % |
Expected lives | | | 5 | | | 5 | |
The determination of the fair value of all awards is based on the above assumptions. See Note 3 for more information regarding the Company’s stock based compensation plans.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued for services and goods to non-employees under SFAS 123; EITF 96-18, “Accounting for EquityInstruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”; and EITF 00-18, “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees”. Generally, the equity instruments issued for services and goods are for shares of the Company’s common stock or warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. These shares or warrants generally are fully-vested, nonforfeitable and exercisable at the date of grant and require no future performance commitment by the recipient.
The Company expenses the fair market value of these securities over the period in which the related services are received.
Other Comprehensive Income
The Company has no material components of other comprehensive income (loss), and accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss in all periods.
Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share information is presented under the requirements of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects potential dilution of securities by adding other potential common shares, including stock options and warrants in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive. All potentially dilutive securities, including stock options and warrants, have been excluded from this computation, as their effect is anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2008, there were 5,330,000 (Note 3) stock options and 7,377,000 stock warrants outstanding that could be converted into potential common stock. As of December 31, 2007, there were 4,100,000 stock options and 12,224,500 stock warrants outstanding that could be converted into common stock.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash, prepaid expenses, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt are considered representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Long term debt approximates fair value due to the interest rate on the notes approximating current rates.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated results of operations have been prepared as if the acquisition of Secured Digital Storage LLC had occurred as of January 1, 2007:
| | Nine months ended | |

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that would have occurred had the acquisitions occurred as of January 1, 2007, nor are they necessarily indicative of the results that may occur in the future.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to develop additional sources of capital and achieve profitable operations. There is insufficient cash on hand to support current or anticipated operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Although management has raised additional debt and equity capital, the Company must continue to seek new capital to vitalize the Company.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary and Forward Looking Statements
In addition to statements of historical fact, this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. The presentation of future aspects of Secured Digital Storage Corporation, (the “Company” or “Issuer”) found in these statements is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” or “could” or the negative variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by the Company in those statements. Important facts that could prevent the Company from achieving any stated goals include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a) | volatility or decline of the Company’s stock price; |
| |
(b) | potential fluctuation in quarterly results; |
| |
(c) | failure of the Company to earn revenues or profits; |
| |
(d) | inadequate capital to continue or expand its business, inability to raise additional capital or financing to implement its business plans; |
| |
(e) | failure to make sales; |
| |
(f) | rapid and significant changes in markets; |
| |
(g) | litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties; or |
| |
(h) | insufficient revenues to cover operating costs. |
There is no assurance that the Company will be profitable, and the Company may not be able to successfully develop the business. The Company may not be able to attract or retain qualified executives and personnel, and competition and government regulation may hinder the Company’s business attempts. Further, additional dilution in outstanding stock ownership may be incurred due to the issuance of more shares, warrants and stock options, or the exercise of warrants and stock options, and other risks inherent in business.
The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof. Readers should carefully review the factors described in other documents the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed by the Company in 2008 and any Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the Company.
Changes in Financial Condition
The Company’s cash position at September 30, 2008 has been reduced by $221,038 since December 31, 2007 despite the issuance of a net addition of debt of $1,072,965 and the proceeds of $1,210,100 in proceeds for the advance of funds for subscriptions of common stock as well as $71,975 proceeds from the conversion of existing stock warrants to common stock. The continuing funding of the operating expenses of the business with no revenues is causing the reduction in cash. During the 3rd quarter the company terminated all non senior management personnel and eliminated salaries for those remaining senior executives. The cash on hand is currently not sufficient to cover current obligations of $3,590,017, including $223,033 of accrued payroll. Additionally, the Company does not currently have the funds to continue paying the capital and operating leases with HP Fincial Services. However, the Company is still seeking ways to fund this liability along with other remaining liabilities.
As of October 1, 2008, $1,200,000 of debt financing became due. We are continuing discussions with the lender in order to develop a plan to repay this obligation. However, no conclusions have been derived from these discussions.
Results of Operations for the Three-Months and Nine-Months Ended September 30, 2008 compared to Same Period in 2007
The Company had no revenue during 2007 and recorded only $27,750 of revenues in 2008, all of which were consulting revenues recognized and paid during the third quarter of 2008. These revenues were unrelated to the primary business of providing managed storage for enterprises. Since acquiring Secured Digital Storage, LLC in the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company has incurred significant expenses to fund the operations, including compensation, professional fees and costs of capital and operating leases. The Company has also incurred substantially higher interest expense on its debt due to higher levels of debt, higher interest on the debt as well as the cost of warrants incurred on the issuance of the debt instruments. The interest for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 included $633,349 of imputed interest for the value of stock warrants issued on existing debt compared to $73,426 in the comparable period last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2008 the Company had $163,057 of cash. Included in the cash balance is $150,000 of restricted cash related to guaranteeing a letter of credit issued with respect to a lease of computer software and equipment. Excluding the restricted cash, there was only $13,057 of cash, which is insufficient for any significant operations. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had $3,587,408 of current obligations, including the accrual of the lease payments for computer software and equipment, where the value of the remaining lease obligations, net of the estimated net realizable value, was recognized in the results of operations during the 3rd quarter of 2008. Additionally, the Company has other recurring obligations that it currently is not able to meet.
The Company does not have capital sufficient to meet the Company’s cash needs, to operate and pay existing debt service, including the costs of compliance with the continuing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company is currently seeking alternatives to its funding sources, either through loans or equity placements to cover such cash needs. Lack of capital and customers has been a sufficient impediment from accomplishing the goal of expanding its operations. There is no assurance the Company will be able to carry out its business without additional funding. The Company will need to raise additional funds to continue and expand its business activities in the next twelve months.
Irrespective of whether the Company’s cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet the Company’s operational needs, the Company may seek to compensate providers of services by issuances of stock in lieu of cash.
GOING CONCERN
The Company’s auditor has issued a “going concern” qualification as part of its opinion in the Audit Report for the year ended December 31, 2007. There is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a “going concern.” The Company currently has no viable business, limited capital, minimal cash and no other liquid assets. Management is currently seeking options to its business model. Without new operating funds, the Company cannot meet its current obligations.
On August 12, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the immediate suspension of all salaries to all officers. Three such executives, Messrs. Malone, Gainer and Hauschild, are parties to certain employment letters and have agreed to modify or waive the provisions in such letters related to payment of salary. On August 14, 2008, the Company terminated all non-officer employees. There were five non-officer employees in total. The Company has outstanding compensation due to such employees and may be subject to claims for such wages, including claims under the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act. The Company continues to attempt to raise additional capital. No assurance can be made that these efforts will be successful.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
As previously disclosed, on April 1, 2008, David Hoffman (the “Lender”) made a loan to the Company in the amount of one million two hundred thousand dollars ($1,200,000.00) (the “Loan”). In connection with the Loan, the Company issued a promissory note to the Lender in the amount of $1,200,000 (the “Note”). The outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Note was due and payable on September 30, 2008 (“the Maturity Date”). Prior to the Maturity Date, or the Loan’s otherwise becoming due, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan at an annual interest rate (the “Interest Rate”) equal to eighteen percent (18%). The Company has failed to make the interest payment due on September 1, 2008 and has failed to make the payment of all outstanding principal and accrued interest upon the Maturity Date. The total amount of each default is $18,000 for the September interest payment, and $1,236,000 (including the previously unpaid interest) for the total Maturity Date Payment. The total arrearage as on the date hereof is $1,254,000. The Company is in discussion with this Lender in order to develop a plan to repay this obligation. However, no conclusions have been derived from these discussions.
