CONSENT SOLICITATION STATEMENT
FOR
THE SOLICITATION OF WRITTEN CONSENTS
FOR THE ACQUISITION OF KIWIBOX MEDIA, INC. AND
ADOPTION OF TWO AMENDMENTS TO THE
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
This Consent Solicitation Statement (the "Consent Statement") is furnished to the stockholders of MAGNITUDE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), by the Board of Directors in connection with the solicitation by the Company of the written consent of stockholders. The stockholders are being asked to provide their written consent for:
1. The approval of the Company’s acquisition of Kiwibox Media, Inc. by merger with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company;
2. The approval of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, increasing the number of shares of common stock, $.0001 par value (the “Common Stock”) which the Company has authority to issue from 300,000,000 to 700,000,000 shares; and
3. The approval of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, changing the Company’s corporate name to “KiwiAge Enterprises, Inc.”.
A Copy of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, pursuant to the principal terms of which the Company will acquire Kiwibox Media, Inc. is attached as Exhibit A to this Consent Statement. We sometimes refer to our acquisition of Kiwibox Media, Inc. through its merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary as the “Acquisition” or “Merger” and the agreement as the “Acquisition Agreement”. A copy of the proposed Amendment to increase the Company’s authorized common stock is attached as Exhibit B. The second Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, seeking shareholder approval to change the Company’s corporate name from Magnitude Information System, Inc. to “KiwiAge Enterprises, Inc.”, is attached as Exhibit C. We sometimes refer to these two proposed amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation as the “Amendments”.
The Company intends to distribute this Consent Statement and the accompanying Consent Card commencing on or about May 18, 2007, to the holders of record of the Common Stock as of the close of business on May 15, 2007. This date is referred to as the "record date." Written consents of stockholders representing a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at the record date are required to approve the Acquisition and the Amendments.
Only stockholders of record as of May 15, 2007, are entitled to consent, to withhold their consent, or to revoke their consent, to the Amendment. Stockholders are entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of Common Stock held at the record date. As of the record date there were 231,195,681 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
1
Consents, once dated, signed, and delivered to the Company, will remain effective unless and until revoked by written notice of revocation dated, signed, and delivered to the Company at the address set forth below on or before June 15, 2007.
The Acquisition and the Amendments will be approved if by June 15, 2007, the Company holds unrevoked written consents of stockholders approving the Acquisition and the Amendments from a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at the Record Date. Consequently, the withholding of consent, abstentions and the failure to deliver a Consent Card would all have the effect of a vote against approval of the Acquisition and the Amendments. If a stockholder holds his shares in "street name" and fails to instruct his broker or nominee as to how to vote his shares, the broker or nominee may not, pursuant to applicable stock exchange rules, vote such shares and, accordingly, such shares will have the effect of a vote against the Acquisition and the Amendments.
Stockholders are requested to indicate approval of the Acquisition and the Amendments by signing and dating the Consent Card, checking each box on the Consent Card which corresponds to the approval of the Acquisition and for each of the Amendments, and delivering the Consent Card to the Company's transfer agent at the address set forth below. Withholding of consent to the Acquisition and to the Amendments, or abstention with respect to the approval of the Acquisition and the Amendments, may be indicated by signing and dating the Consent Card, checking the box which corresponds to withholding of consent for each of the Acquisition and Amendments or abstention with respect to the approval of each of the Acquisition and Amendments, respectively, and delivering the Consent Card to the Company's transfer agent at the address set forth below.
The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 1250 Route 28, Suite 309, Branchburg, New Jersey 08876, and the telephone number of the Company is (908) 927-0004.
Your written consent is important to us. Questions and answers about how to vote in this Consent Solicitation and how to revoke your written consent are set forth in this Consent Solicitation below under the heading “QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ACQUISITION, THE AMENDMENTS AND THIS CONSENT SOLICITATION”.

Acquisition Price For Kiwibox; Stock and Cash (page12)
We estimate that we will need between 162,500,000 and 351,500,000 Common Shares to consummate the Acquisition and the Three Employment Agreements we will sign with the Three Kiwibox Shareholders; this amount includes between 100,000,000 and 120,000,000 Common Shares we will need to privately place with an investor or investors in order to raise the minimum $3.5 million we have committed to invest in the Kiwibox website business and the approximate $2.5 million needed to pay closing expenses and fund our public company operations. These amounts of our common shares are issuable in the following parts of our Kiwibox Acquisition:
· | Our Common Stock Issuable in the Acquisition Agreement: Between 30,000,000 and 150,000,000 Common Shares. In exchange for their ownership shares of Kiwibox, we will issue new shares to the three Kiwibox Shareholders. The amount of our common shares we will issue to them will be based upon the value of $1,500,000, divided by the “Market Price” of our publicly traded common stock. The Market Price will be the average sales price of our common stock over for the ten trading day period immediately preceding the Closing. For example, if the Market Price is determined to be $.05 per common share, then we will divide the $1,500,000 value by $.05 and issue a total 30,000,000 common shares to the Kiwibox Shareholders. Similarly, if the Market Price is determined to be $.025 per common share, then we will divide the $1,500,000 value by $.025 and we will issue 60,000,000 common shares to the Kiwibox Shareholders and 150,000,000 common shares if our Market Price falls to $.01. We have agreed that even if our Market Price is determined to be higher than $.05 per common share that we will issue no less than 30,000,000 common shares to the three Kiwibox Shareholders. The three Kiwibox Shareholders will divide our common shares between them based upon their percentage ownership of their Kiwibox shares. Holders of our common shares have the right to vote on all shareholder voting matters. |
· | Our Preferred Stock, convertible into our Common Stock: Between 10,000,000 and 50,000,000 Common Shares. We have also agreed to issue a total 43,610 shares of our preferred stock to the three Kiwibox Shareholders. |
· | Each share of Series E Preferred Stock will have the following terms: |
· | Stated Value. $11.47. |
· | No voting rights |
· | No dividend rights. |
· | Liquidation Preference. on par with all other classes of outstanding preferred shares to the extent of the stated value price. |
· | No redemption rights. |
· | The 43,610 Shares of Our Preferred Stock are Automatically Convertible into Shares of Our Common Stock. All 43,610 of these preferred shares shall automatically convert into shares of our common stock upon the second anniversary date of the Closing. The amount of our common shares into which these preferred shares will be converted is based upon the value of $500,000, divided by the “Market Price” of our publicly traded common stock. Our Market Price for this conversion will be the average sales price of our common stock over for the twenty trading day period immediately preceding the second anniversary date of the Closing. For example, if the Market Price is determined to be $.05 per common share, then we will divide the $500,000 value by $.05 and convert the 43,610 preferred shares into an aggregate 10,000,000 common shares. If the Market Price is determined to be $.025 per common share, then we will divide the $500,000 value by $.025 and convert the 43,610 preferred shares into an aggregate 20,000,000 common shares, and if $.01 per share, the preferred shares will convert into 50,000,000 common shares. As with our Common Stock we have agreed to issue to the Kiwibox Shareholders, we have agreed that even if our Market Price at the time is determined to be higher than $.05 per common share, the 43,610 preferred shares shall convert into no less than 10,000,000 common shares. |
3
· | Cash Payment. We have agreed to pay the Kiwibox Shareholders a cash payment of $300,000 at Closing. |
Tax Treatment (page 16)
· | Election of Directors. The right to elect, together with the holders of common stock, one member of our board of directors. |
· | Protective Provisions. The consent of two of the three Kiwibox Shareholders will be required if Magnitude or Subsidiary desire (i) to undertake a material acquisition or (ii) sell all or any material portion of the business of Kiwibox during the two-year period following the closing. |
Employment Agreements (page 13)
· | In connection with the Acquisition, we also will enter into Employment Agreements, each having identical terms and provisions, with each of the three Kiwibox Shareholders, containing the following terms: |
· | A two year term. |
· | Each shall be paid an annual base salary of $150,000 with the right to earn up to an additional $100,000 cash bonus based upon the business attaining certain goals. |
· | Our Common Stock Issuable under the Employment Agreements: Between 22,500,000 and 31,500,000 Common Shares |
· | Each shall receive at Closing a stock option grant to purchase up to 7,500,000 shares of Magnitude common stock, vesting 50% on first anniversary date of Closing and 25% each on the 18 month and second anniversary dates of the Closing, at the exercise price equal to the public market price on the date of Closing, and a second option grant to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 Magnitude common shares at the end of each of the two years of their employment agreements (3,000,000 shares each) if the business attains certain goals. |
· | Participation in Magnitude’s medical and health insurance coverage and all employee benefit plans, with paid vacation. |
· | Restrictive covenants against competition with the customary pledges of confidentiality. |
· | Standard termination rights and legal claims provisions. |
$6 million equity private placement (page 13 )
· | Our Common Stock Issuable to potential investors in our private placement to raise the minimum $3.5 million we have committed to invest in the Kiwibox website business and to raise the approximate $2.5 million to pay for our Acquisition closing costs as well as to pay for our public company expenses and operations:: Between 100,000,000 and 120,000,000 Common Shares |
Our Board of Directors has authorized us to offer to one or more of our business associates with whom we have a pre-existing relationship and who qualify as either an accredited or institutional investor between 100,000,000 and 120,000,000 shares of our common stock to raise the minimum $3.5 million we need in order to close the Kiwibox Acquisition and meet our commitment to invest these funds into the Kiwibox website business over the 18 month period following the closing and to raise the approximate $2.5 million to pay our closing costs and the public company operating expenses over the same 18 month period. We estimate our closing costs for fees due attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, finders, etc., and to pay accrued Company debts to be approximately between $1,000,000 and $1,200,000. Accordingly, if we succeed in raising the aggregate $6.0 million in our private placement, we will have the $3.5 million needed to close the Kiwibox Acquisition, and between approximately $1,300,000 and $1,500,000 to pay our estimated public company and operational expenses for the 18 month period following the closing of the Kiwibox Acquisition. We can not assure shareholders that we will succeed in raising any amount of equity funds in our private placement. If we do not succeed in raising the minimum $3.5 million necessary to close the Kiwibox Acquisition, and the approximate $2.5 million needed to pay the estimated Acquisition closing costs and fund the public company operations, such failure will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and plan of operations and we will be required to seek to raise additional equity or debt to fund our operations.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ACQUISITION AND THE CONSENT SOLICITATION
Following are some commonly asked questions that may be raised by stockholders and answers to each of those questions.
Why did I receive this Consent Solicitation?
This Consent Solicitation and the enclosed consent card have been sent to the Company's stockholders as of the record date for the solicitation of consents, because the Company's Board of Directors is soliciting their consent in this Consent Solicitation. This Consent Solicitation summarizes the information stockholders need to consent in an informed manner on the proposals to be considered in this Consent Solicitation. Stockholders must complete, sign and return the enclosed consent card in order to vote their shares.
What am I being asked to vote my shares for in this Consent Solicitation?
The Company's stockholders will consider and vote upon the following proposals:
· | Approval of the Acquisition of Kiwibox Media, Inc. through a merger with and into our Subsidiary; |
· | Amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of its common stock from 300,000,000 to 700,000,000 in order to provide the estimated number of common shares available to consummate the Acquisition; and |
· | Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, changing the Company’s corporate name to “KiwiAge Enterprises, Inc.” |
Why are shareholders being asked to approve the Company’s acquisition of Kiwibox Media, Inc. in this Consent Solicitation?
As of the Record Date, the Company had 231,195,681 shares of its common stock outstanding, including common shares reserved for issuance under outstanding stock options and warrants. We estimate that we will need between 162,500,000 and 351,500,000 aggregate common shares in order:
· | to issue the $1,500,000 value worth of common shares necessary to consummate the Acquisition (between 30,000,000 and 150,000,000 shares); |
· | to issue the common shares required under the employment agreements with the three Kiwibox shareholders (between 22,500,000 and 31,500,000 shares); |
· | to issue the common shares into which our $500,000 value worth of preferred shares will convert on the second anniversary of the Closing (between 10,000,000 and 50,000,000 shares), and; |
· | to issue the common shares to our potential investors in our private placement to raise $6 million of equity funds (between 100,000,000 and 120,000,000 shares). |
Since the Company must increase its authorized common shares in order to meet its common share issuance commitments in the Kiwibox Acquisition, shareholders are required by applicable federal securities laws governing consent solicitations such as this to first approve the Kiwibox Acquisition.
6
What is the voting requirement to approve the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation?
The Amendment to increase our authorized common stock by an additional 400,000,000 shares and to change our corporate name to “KiwiAge Enterprises, Inc.” will be approved if by June 15, 2007, the Company holds unrevoked written consents of stockholders approving the Amendments from a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at the Record Date. Consequently, the withholding of consent, abstentions and the failure to deliver a Consent Card would all have the effect of a vote against approval of the Amendments. If a stockholder holds his shares in "street name" and fails to instruct his broker or nominee as to how to vote his shares, the broker or nominee may not, pursuant to applicable stock exchange rules, vote such shares and, accordingly, such shares will have the effect of a vote against the Amendments.
Why is the Company seeking to increase the number of common shares it is authorized to issue?
Only approximately 5,000,000 shares of common stock have not been issued or reserved for issuance under presently outstanding stock options and warrants. We anticipate that we will issue between 162,500,000 and 351,500,000 common shares to the three Kiwibox shareholders in order to consummate the Acquisition at Closing, to meet our obligations under their employment agreements, to accommodate the conversion of our preferred stock into common shares on the second anniversary of the Closing and to provide the necessary common shares to the potential investor in our private placement. The Company will need no less than approximately 350,000,000 newly authorized common shares for these purposes.
In addition, the Company believes that an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock will benefit the Company by providing flexibility to issue common stock for a variety of business and financial objectives in the future without the necessity of delaying such activities for further stockholder approval. These objectives include, but are not limited to, raising additional capital for business operations, current and future employee compensation and benefits and other corporate purposes. The Company anticipates that it may be issuing shares and/or options in the near future to raise additional needed capital, and/or compensate employees and officers. However, other than in connection with the Kiwibox Acquisition and its private placement to raise the $3.5 million for the Kiwibox investment and approximately $2.5 million to pay the estimated Acquisition closing costs and to fund its continuing public company operations, the Company has no current plans to issue any of the shares that would be authorized should this proposal be approved by our stockholders.
How will the increase in the authorized common shares affect my ownership of Company common shares?
Your will not suffer any dilution in the ownership percentage of your common shares as a result of the increase in authorized common shares. However, if and when the Company does issue common shares, whether in connection with the Acquisition, the private placement or otherwise, these issuances will reduce your percentage ownership of the Company, and if issued for less than what you paid for your Company shares, will reduce the value of your Company shares.
In addition to obtaining stockholder consent to the Acquisition and to the proposed Amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, how does the Company plan to meet the closing condition of having $3.5 million of equity at Closing to invest in the Kiwibox business?
The Company is in discussions with various potential investors who are business associates of the Company and who qualify as accredited investors to raise the minimum $3.5 million to meet this condition to close the Acquisition. At this date, Magnitude has no understanding, agreement or commitment from any of these potential investors that they will invest any funds with Magnitude. In the event Magnitude has not raised the minimum $3.5 million on or before the Closing date of June 15, 2007, Kiwibox may terminate the Acquisition Agreement.
7
What business will the Company conduct after the Kiwibox Acquisition?
The Company intends to further develop and manage the social network Kiwibox website business acquired.
What happens if stockholders do not approve the Kiwibox Acquisition or if the minimum $3.5 million in equity is not raised?
The Kiwibox Acquisition Agreement will terminate and Magnitude will seek other business opportunities. In such an event, the Company will need immediate funds to maintain its current, reduced level of operations and if it is unable to raise such funds, its financial condition will be materially adversely affected and it may need to further limit or curtail operations.
If approved, when will the Kiwibox Acquisition be completed?

Proposals to Stockholders
Proposal No. 1
The Acquisition of Kiwibox
Background of the Kiwibox Acquisition
During fiscal year 2006, management determined to seek a business opportunity for the Company and its shareholders. In early November, a representative of the New York investment bank, Southridge International, Inc., contacted management and a meeting was scheduled to introduce the principals of a social networking website known as Kiwibox.com. A meeting between Company management and the Kiwibox principals took place at the offices of Southridge in New York City and initial discussions exploring a potential business combination ensued.
Following a series of meetings and further negotiations, the three principals of Kiwibox and the Company signed a confidential Letter of Intent on January 5, 2007, pursuant to which the parties agreed to a proposed structure of a business combination between the two companies, agreed upon the terms of employment agreements for the three Kiwibox shareholders and to draft and execute a definitive agreement as soon as practicable.
Thereafter, Company and Kiwibox management began financial and legal due diligence reviews of each other’s business and organization. With the assistance of Kiwibox counsel, the parties began drafting the definitive agreement. On February 16, 2007, the Company’s Boartd of Directors unanimously approved the proposed transactions between the Company and Kiwibox. On February 19, 2007, the Company, Kiwibox Media, Inc. and the three Kiwiobox shareholders executed and delivered an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization which contained as an exhibit, the agreed upon terms and provisions of employment agreements for each of the three Kiwibox shareholders.
The Board of Directors of the Company considered the business and financial aspects of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and determined that the Kiwibox Acquisition was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
In making its determination, the Board considered the following factors:
· | The Company’s ergonomic software business had not generated sales and revenues sufficient to support its continuing operations and continues to require the raising of additional equity capital to fund its operations: |
· | The Acquisition of Kiwibox would provide the Company and its shareholders with the opportunity to acquire and expand a product in the growing social networking website industry and provide the Company with, perhaps, a better platform with which to raise equity capital; |
· | The Kiwibox.com website was a functional platform, already generating some revenue while the two other business opportunities that the Board reviewed and considered in early 2007 would have required further development before they could have been launched, and; |
· | The Company was in preliminary discussions with several of its ex-employees about licensing its line of ergonomic software products and assuming all customer support operations, which discussions, in fact, materialized with the execution and delivery of a certain License and Client Software Support Agreement with Imminent Technologies, LLC ("IMT"), pursuant to the principal terms of which, the Company appointed IMT as a non-exclusive licensee/reseller for its suite of ergonomic software products and as the exclusive provider of support services to the Company's current customers with service contracts. |
After considering all of the above factors, the Board unanimously determined that the Kiwibox Acquisition was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
11
Based upon the foregoing, the Company’s Board recommends a vote for the Acquisition of Kiwibox on the enclosed Consent Card.
If the Company fails to get the shareholder’s approval for the Kiwibox Acquisition, our subsidiary will not merge with Kiwibox Media, Inc. and the acquisition will not occur. The holders of the Company’s common stock are not entitled to appraisal rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or its Company’s Bylaws.
Members of the Company’s Board of Directors and its officers who own an aggregate 9,027,929 common shares, representing an aggregate approximate 4.3% of the shares outstanding, intend to vote these shares in favor of the Kiwibox Acquisition.
The Board of Directors, in making its decision to pursue the Kiwibox Acquisition, did not have the financial resources with which to hire an independent investment bank or other financial institution to do a due diligence review of the Kiwibox website and business and render an opinion on the value and fairness of the acquisition price to the shareholders the Company. Company management negotiated the best terms available for the Kiwibox Acquisition and did not rely upon any third party to advise them in the negotiations. Although Kiwibox and its three shareholders were represented and continue to be represented by the investment bank of Southridge International, Inc. of New York, the Company and its Board were not, nor are they now, represented by any investment bank.
The Kiwibox Acquisition Price: Stock, Cash, Employment Agreements and Stock to Potential Investors
· Company Cash Payment to the Kiwibox Shareholders as part of the Acquisition Price:
The Company will pay the Kiwibox shareholders an aggregate cash payment of $300,000 at Closing.
· Company Common Stock to be Issued as part of the Acquisition Price:
The Company will pay the Kiwibox shareholders at Closing a number of Company common shares equivalent to an aggregate $1,500,000 in value, based upon the Company’s common stock “Market Price”. Market Price is the average price of our common stock sold during the 10 trading days preceding the Closing. For example, if the Market Price is determined to be $.05 per common share, then we will divide the $1,500,000 value by $.05 and issue a total 30,000,000 common shares to the Kiwibox Shareholders. Similarly, if the Market Price is determined to be $.025 per common share, then we will divide the $1,500,000 value by $.025 and we will issue 60,000,000 common shares to the Kiwibox Shareholders and 150,000,000 common shares if our Market Price falls to $.01. We have agreed that even if our Market Price is determined to be higher than $.05 per common share that we will issue no less than 30,000,000 common shares to the three Kiwibox Shareholders. The three Kiwibox Shareholders will divide our common shares between them based upon their percentage ownership of their Kiwibox shares. Holders of our common shares have the right to vote on all shareholder voting matters.
· Company Preferred Stock to be Issued as part of the Acquisition Price:
In addition, the Company will issue to the three Kiwibox Shareholders at the closing an aggregate 43,610 Shares of preferred stock that are automatically convertible into shares of Company common stock upon the second anniversary date of the Closing. The amount of our common shares into which these preferred shares will be converted is based upon the value of $500,000, divided by the “Market Price” of our publicly traded common stock. Our Market Price for this conversion will be the average sales price of our common stock over for the twenty trading day period immediately preceding the second anniversary date of the Closing. For example, if the Market Price is determined to be $.05 per common share, then we will divide the $500,000 value by $.05 and convert the 43,610 preferred shares into an aggregate 10,000,000 common shares. If the Market Price is determined to be $.025 per common share, then we will divide the $500,000 value by $.025 and convert the 43,610 preferred shares into an aggregate 20,000,000 common shares, and if $.01 per share, the preferred shares will convert into 50,000,000 common shares. As with our Common Stock we have agreed to issue to the Kiwibox Shareholders, we have agreed that even if our Market Price at the time is determined to be higher than $.05 per common share, the 43,610 preferred shares shall convert into no less than 10,000,000 common shares. We will, therefore, issue aggregate common shares for these issuances ranging from an aggregate minimum 40,000,000 shares, if our Market Price is $.05 per share or higher, and possibly up to an aggregate 200,000,000 shares, if our Market Price is $.01 per share.
12
· | Company Cash and Stock Payments Through Employment Agreements |
Each of the three employment agreements for each of the three Kiwibox Shareholders contain identical terms and provisions and provide that each will be entitled to participation in Company’s medical and health insurance coverage and all employee benefit plans, with paid vacations. These agreements also contain restrictive covenants against competition with the customary pledges of confidentiality, termination rights and legal claims provisions. Please refer to the copy of the employment agreement attached as Exhibit E to the Kiwibox Acquisition Agreement, attached as Exhibit A to this Consent Statement.
Kiwibox Acquisition Investment: $3,500,000 and Closing Costs/Public Company Operations: $2,500,000
The Minimum $3.5 million Kiwibox Investment
In order to close the Kiwibox acquisition, we must raise a minimum $3,500,000 in equity funds we have committed to invest in the Kiwibox business over the 18 month period following closing The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a private placement of between 100,000,000 and 120,000,000 common shares in order to raise the $6 million for these purposes. Company officers and directors are in discussions with some of our business associates and shareholders who are accredited investors and with whom the Company has pre-existing business relationships in connection with the private placement. As of this date, we have no understandings, agreements or contracts with any potential investor to provide any amount of these private placement funds. If we can not raise the minimum $3.5 million in equity funds by Closing, the Kiwibox acquisition will not take place.
13
The $2.5 Million to Pay the Kiwibox Acquisition Costs and Fund our Public Company Operations
In addition to the minimum $3.5 million we seek to raise in our private placement to fund our investment commitment to the Kiwibox business, we are seeking to raise an additional $2.5 million to pay for the Acquisition closing costs, estimated to be between $1,000,000 and $1,200,000, as well as provide funds to pay for the public company operations for the same 18 month period following closing.
We anticipate that our Acquisition closing costs, ranging between $1,000,000 and $1,200,000, will pay for the following estimated fees: attorneys’ fees ($150,000 to $200,000), accountant’s fees ($100,000 to $150,000), investment banker’s/consultants’ fees ($150,000 to $250,000), finders’ fees ($600,000). We estimate that our costs to fund certain of the operations of the public company over the 18 month period following the closing of the Kiwibox Acquisition will be approximately between $1,300,000 and $1,500,000. Following the closing of the Kiwibox Acquisition, we expect to negotiate an employment agreement with our current President and Chief Executive Officer, Edward Marney. We have had preliminary discussions with Mr. Marney concerning his continued service to the Company following the Kiwibox Acquisition, and Mr. Marney has given the Company his commitment to do so, subject to negotiating an employment agreement satisfactory to both parties. Following the negotiation of an employment agreement with Mr. Marney, we expect him to devote all of his time to the development of the Kiwibox business. We have reached an agreement in principle with Mr. Eric Brahms, to employ him for three years as our Senior Vice President of Operations, at a base annual salary of $150,000 and we intend to finalize an employment agreement with Mr. Brahms in the near future. Mr. Brahms is currently serving as a consultant to the Company, devoting his time to the planning and development of the Kiwibox website business. Following the Kiwibox Acquisition, we intend to pay at least one-half of the cash compensation due to Edward Marney and Eric Brahms out of the $3.5 million we intend to invest in the Kiwibox business during the 18 month period following closing. We do not have employment agreements with any other persons.
Accordingly, the $1,000,000 to $1,200,000 in funds dedicated to certain of the public company expenses and operations during the 18 month period following the closing are estimated to be applied for: one-half of the salary and benefits for the Chief Executive Officer/President ($87,500 to $125,000 per year) and for our Senior Vice President of Operations, Eric Brahms ($75,000 to $87,500); full salary and benefits for our Chief Financial Officer ($125,000 to $135,000); full salary and benefits for one administrative person ($50,000 to $60,000); all audit fees for auditor ($50,000 to $75,000); all attorneys’ fees ($150,000 to $200,000); medical/insurance plan for these four persons ($25,000 to $30,000) with working capital/ miscellaneous ($104,000 to $87,500).
The Company can not provide any assurances to shareholders that it will be able to identify a source or sources for these equity funds or if such sources are identified, that such equity funds can be obtained by the Company on terms that it is currently offering: between 100,000,000 and 120,000,000 common shares.
Closing: on or about June 15, 2007
Although originally scheduled for on or before March 31, 2007, we have agreed with Kiwibox to extend the prospective date of Closing to on or before June 15, 2007. This means that if we do not receive shareholder approval to all three of the matters discussed in this Consent Solicitation and successfully raised the minimum $3.5 million for the Kiwibox investment on or before June 15, 2007, the Kiwibox principals may terminate the Acquisition Agreement. If the Kiwibox acquisition is terminated, the Company will have to immediately raise funds to sustain its limited operations, in which case, the Company’s financial condition and plan of operations would suffer a material adverse effect, potentially requiring the Company to curtail operations.
14
Conduct of Business Following the Closing
Assuming the Company obtains shareholder approval on the three matters discussed and presented in this Consent Solicitation and successfully raises the minimum $3,500,000 necessary to make the investment in Kiwibox and the $2.5 million necessary to fund the Acquisition closing costs and certain of the public company operating expenses, the Company anticipates working with the Kiwibox principals to further develop the content and market the offerings of the Kiwibox website.

Accounting Treatment
The Company is taking the position that the merger of Kiwibox Media, Inc. with and into the Company’s subsidiary and the exchange of Kiwibox shares for Company shares should qualify as a tax free reorganization under section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Fiscal Year 2006.
We are providing the following disclosures to shareholders concerning, among other information, a discussion of our financial results of our operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Except for our update of the “Subsequent Events -Fiscal Year 2007” paragraph below, these disclosures are also contained in our Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, a copy of which is attached to this Consent Statement as Exhibit D.
Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2006
For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company had revenues of $47,701 compared to $189,552 in 2005. Revenues consisted almost entirely of charges for maintenance and support services.
Gross profits amounted to negative $97,795. Gross profits were burdened with a fixed charge for amortization of certain proprietary software assets. Such software assets underlie the Company’s products and were being amortized on a straight line over 10 years, resulting in a level charge of approximately $13,000 per month to cost-of-goods-sold. After deducting selling -, research -, and general and administrative expenses of $3,619,072 compared to the $2,448,509 recorded in 2005, the Company realized an operating loss of $3,716,867 compared to an operating loss of $2,410,670 in 2005. A large portion of such SG&A expenses is attributable to non-cash charges in connection with the valuation at market price of the underlying stock, of securities issued in connection with settlement agreements reached with a shareholder who was a former officer of the Company, and with the former president and CEO, which together amounted to $632,677. In addition, securities valued at approximately $950,000 were issued as compensation to consultants. Non-operating income and expenses included $326,744 net interest expense (including $291,762 of amortization of debt discounts due to recognition of a derivative conversion option, beneficial conversion features and detachable warrants issued with the debt), $102,762 income in connection with the change in fair value of a derivative conversion option on convertible debt, a charge of 174,954 for the impairment of software intangibles, and income of $192,136 from recording the change in fair value of derivative options and warrants reclassified as liabilities. The Company also realized a credit of $33,740 from the sale of net loss carry-forward tax credits pursuant to the New Jersey Emerging Technology and Biotechnology Financial Assistance Act. The year concluded with a net loss of $3,895,262. After accounting for dividends accrued and discounts on outstanding preferred stock which totaled $578,464 the net loss applicable to common shareholders was $4,473,726or $0.03 per share, compared to a loss of $2,341,492 or $0.02 per share for the previous year.

In the absence of cash flow from operations, required working capital to finance ongoing operations was supplied primarily from new equity capital. The Company recorded $1,218,500 in new equity funding in the form of cash. The Company also assumed new private debt in the amount of approximately $440,000.
At December 31, 2006, the deficit in working capital amounted to $2,553,451 as compared to $1,016,230 at December 31, 2005. Stockholders’ equity showed an impairment of $2,505,485 at the end of the year, compared to an impairment of $664,381 at the beginning of the year. The negative cash flow from operations totaled $1,589,089 and was substantially financed by new debt and equity which was obtained through private placements. The new equity placements were consummated by issuance of common stock and warrants to accredited private investors in the United States. Details of such transactions can be found in the “Changes and Issuance of Securities” sections in the Company’s reports on Form 10-QSB during the year, as well as in the pertinent section of this report. During 2006, the Company had filed amendments to four previously filed registration statements on Form SB-2, all of which covered common shares directly issued as well as common shares underlying the previously issued convertible preferred stock and warrants, in connection with these and prior financing transactions. These filings were made on behalf of certain investors in the Company’s equities and proceeds of any sales of such registered securities will accrue entirely to such investors. The filings will shortly be updated with the current financial statements and forwarded to the Securities and Exchange Commission for review.
18
At the time of this submission, the Company had no bank debt. At December 31, 2006 its short-term liabilities, aside from trade payables and accruals, consisted of certain notes and loans aggregating approximately $442,450. Accruals include $341,168 unpaid dividends on outstanding preferred stock. Such dividends will be paid only if and when capital surplus and cash-flow from operations are sufficient to cover the outstanding amounts without thereby unduly impacting the Company’s ability to continue operating and growing its business.
Current cash reserves and net cash flow from operations expected during the near future are inadequate when measured against present and anticipated future needs. In order to remedy the resulting liquidity constraints and address any “going-concern” issues, management, during the third quarter, had drastically reduced staff and the level of on-going cash outlays for operations. In addition, management is currently negotiating with several financing sources with the goal of obtaining commitments for further investments in form of debt or equity capital, to be funded during the upcoming quarter. There can be no assurance, however, that these negotiations will lead to the desired outcome.
Subsequent Events - Fiscal Year 2007
In August and December, 2006, we negotiated a termination agreement and debt conversion agreements, respectively, with our founder, Steven Rudnik, resulting in Mr. Rudnik’s departure from the Company and the conversion of approximately $125,000 due him under the terms of a note and prior agreements into 6,250,000 common shares and 3,125,000 five-year warrants, exercisable at $.05 per share. As a result, Ed Marney assumed the role of President and management recommended to the Board of Directors That the Company seek a new business opportunity. The Board of Directors determined it was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to scale-down its operations and staff during the third quarter of 2006 in order to decrease overhead. During 2006 we terminated seven employees and reduced our monthly cash expenses from the level at the beginning of the year by approximately $140,000 per month to approximately $60,000 per month during the fourth quarter.
In December, 2006, an investment banker introduced the owners of a social networking website known as Kiwibox.com to management. Following a period of mutual due diligence, the parties signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization on February 19, 2007, pursuant to the principal terms of which the Kiwibox business, owned by the corporation Kiwibox Media, Inc., will merge with our subsidiary and we will issue to the three owners of Kiwibox common stock and preferred stock, the number of which shall be based upon an aggregate value of $2,000,000, a $300,000 cash payment at closing and delivery to each of the three Kiwibox owners a two-year employment agreement that will pay each a base salary of $150,000 and stock options to purchase 7,500,000 common shares, vesting over a two-year period, with the ability to earn additional cash and stock bonuses based upon the attainment of certain business goals. The closing of the transaction with Kiwibox is scheduled to occur on or before June 15, 2007, and is subject, among other usual due diligence contingencies, to our having raised a minimum $3.5 million in cash by closing which we have promised to invest in Kiwibox in the 18-month period following closing. See “Summary of Acquisition Merger” and other disclosures in this Consent Statement for a more detailed description of our transactions with Kiwibox and its shareholders.

The Kiwibox Acquisition
The Parties to the Kiwibox Acquisition
The parties to the Kiwibox acquisition will be the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, Magnitude Operations, Inc., Kiwibox Media, Inc. and the three Kiwibox shareholders.
The Effective Time
The Kiwibox acquisition will become effective promptly following the shareholder’s approval of the Kiwibox acquisition and the filing of the proposed Amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation, increasing our authorized common shares and changing our corporate name to KiwiAge Enterprises, Inc. with the Secretary of State, State of Delaware.
The Kiwibox Business Acquired
We are acquiring Kiwibox’s social networking website business through a merger and the Company will own all of the assets associated with Kiwibox’s business once the merger is consummated. The Kiwibox assets that we will acquire include the domain name of Kiwibox, all of its proprietary trade secrets, all of its software and methodologies and all aspects of the Kiwibox website.
The Agreement and Plan of Reorganization provides that the Company will assume the following liabilities of Kiwibox:
1. Kiwibox Legal Fees due Barton, Barton & Plotnik, LLP, up to $42, 500
2. Kiwibox Accounting Fees due J.H. Cohn up to $17,000
3. Kiwibox Investment Banking Fees due Southridge Investment Group, LLC of $15,000 and 2.5% of the stock transferable to the Kiwibox Shareholders pursuant to Article 3.2 hereof.
4. Up to $9,000 of Kiwibox American Express charges if related to business
Representations and Warranties
The Acquisition Agreement contains the customary representations and warranties by the parties, including representations and warranties regarding the following: (i) organization; (ii) authority with respect to the Acquisition Agreement; (iii) accuracy of financial statements; (iv) absence of litigation; and (v) consents and approvals and absence of violations of or conflicts with certain laws and agreements.
Covenants
The Acquisition Agreement contains customary covenants by the parties, including cooperation with the each other’s agents, full and reasonable access to documents, to operate their respective businesses in the ordinary course, not to solicit to engage in a similar transaction with any other party and during the two-year period following the closing, Magnitude covenants not to engage in any material acquisition or dispose of any material assets without the consent of at least two of the three Kiwibox Shareholders.
Closing Conditions
Conditions to Closing the Agreement with Kiwibox
The Acquisition Agreement is subject to the prior satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions and additional conditions, including:
· | that the respective representations and warranties of the parties contained in the Acquisition Agreement shall be true in all material respects as of the closing; |
20
· | Kiwibox shall have delivered to Magnitude audited financial statements for its two fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005; |
· | that the Company’s shareholders must approve the Kiwibox Acquisition and the Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, increasing our authorized common shares from 300,000,000 to 700,000,000 shares; |
· | that Magnitude have $3,500,000 in funds available at the closing for its commitment to invest these monies into the Kiwibox business over the 18-month period following the Closing; |
If any of the conditions to closing are not satisfied on or before June 15, 2007, the scheduled closing date, either the Company or Kiwibox may terminate the Agreement, in which case there shall be no liability or claims against any party.
Termination
The Acquisition Agreement may be terminated by the mutual consent of the parties, or by any party if a party breaches a covenant or fails to meet and does not waive a condition of closing.
Business and Plan of Operation of the New Company
Prior to the Kiwibox acquisition, the sole activities of our wholly owned subsidiary, Magnitude Operations, Inc., will have been to organize and enter into the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. Following the Kiwibox acquisition, Magnitude Operations, Inc., into which Kiwibox Media, Inc. will have merged, will be to conduct the social networking website business previously conducted by Kiwibox Media, Inc. The Company with the three Kiwibox shareholders as new management team members, will develop and effectuate a business plan to expand the content and membership of the Kiwibox.com website.
Initially, the Kiwibox business will be funded by the $3,500,000 the Company is committed to raise as a condition to close the Kiwibox Acquisition. If these funds are raised and the Kiwibox Acquisition is consummated, Company management believes that these funds will be sufficient to sustain operations for at least the next 12 months, and probably for the first 18 months. In the event, however, that additional funds are needed, no assurances can be given that the Company will be able to find a source or sources for such additional funds or if identified, whether such funds can be obtained on terms and conditions that are favorable or even commercially reasonable.
PROPOSAL 2
AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE
THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
The Company's Board of Directors has unanimously adopted, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company's Common Stock from 300,000,000 shares to 700,000,000 shares.
A copy of the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, containing the above change is appended as Exhibit B to this Consent Solicitation.
Reasons for the Change to The Company’s Common Stock
As of May 15, 2007, the Record Date, the Company had 231,195,681 shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock, 12,107,408 outstanding stock options, 51,290,000 outstanding common stock purchase warrants, 93,190 preferred shares convertible into 757,198 common shares. If all the outstanding stock options, common stock purchase warrants and convertible preferred shares were exercised and/or converted by their holders an additional 64,154,606 common shares would be outstanding; this would represent an approximate 30% increase in our outstanding common shares.
21
In connection with the acquisition of Kiwibox and the employment agreements with the three Kiwibox Shareholders, we are committed to issue at the closing, during the between a minimum 162,500,000 and up to an estimated maximum 351,500,000 common shares and stock options:
· | Between 30,000,000 and 150,000,000 Common Shares for the Acquisition; |
· | Between 10,000,000 and 50,000,000 Common Shares as a result of the automatic conversion of our preferred stock on the second anniversary date of the closing; |
· | Between 22,500,000 and 31,500,000 Common Shares from exercise of stock options under their employment agreements, and; |
· | Between 100,000,000 and 120,000,000 Common Shares issuable to the potential investors in our private placement, seeking to raise the minimum $3,5 million for the Kiwibox investment and the $2.5 million for the Acquisition closing costs and to fund certain public company operations. |
The foregoing is only a summary of the terms and provisions of the Acquisition Agreement and the employment agreements. Shareholders should review these documents in their entirety for a full understanding of these terms and provisions, copies of which are attached and included in this Consent Statement as Exhibit A. (see “Summary of Terms of Acquisition”).
In connection with our private placement to raise the minimum $3.5 million to meet our investment commitment in connection with the Kiwibox Acquisition and the $2.5 million to pay Acquisition costs and fund certain public company operating costs, through the sale of between 100,000,000 and 120,000,000 common shares as authorized by our Board of Directors, meeting this projected share requirement would require using authorized but unissued common shares.
In addition, we believe that by increasing our authorized shares of common stock the Company will benefit by providing flexibility to issue common stock for a variety of future business and financial objectives without the necessity of delaying these actions in order to obtain further shareholder approval. These objectives include, but are not limited to raising additional equity capital for acquisitions and to provide for future compensation to officers, directors and employees and for other corporate purposes.
General Effect of the Changes to Our Common Stock
Shareholders will not realize any dilution in their percentage of ownership of the Company or in their voting rights as a result of shareholder approval to increase our authorized common shares. However, shareholders’ ownership percentage in our Company will suffer dilution if we close the Kiwibox Acquisition and we succeed in raising the minimum $3.5 million for the Kiwibox Acquisition and the $2.5 million to pay the Acquisition costs and fund certain public company expenses through the private placement of our common shares. Our Board has authorized us to privately place our common shares at between $.05 and $.06 per common share. Shareholders who purchased our common shares at prices above these amounts will also suffer a dilution in the value of their shares, the difference between the price a shareholder paid for his or her shares and the $.05 to $.06 private placement offering price.
In addition, the authorization of additional capital, under certain circumstances, may have an anti-takeover effect, although that is not the intent of our Board of Directors. For example, it may be possible for the Board of Directors to delay or impede a takeover or transfer of control of our Company by causing such additional authorized shares to be issued to persons or shareholders who might support our Board of Directors in opposing a takeover bid that the Board determines is not in the best interests of our Company and its shareholders. The increased authorized capital, therefore, may have the effect of discouraging unsolicited takeover bids. By potentially discouraging plans to commence unsolicited takeover bids, increasing our capital shares may reduce or eliminate any opportunities for our shareholders to sell their shares at the higher prices generally available in takeover bids or that may be available pursuant to a merger proposal. The increase in our common shares may have the effect of permitting our Board of Directors and officers to keep their positions with our Company and put them in a better position to resist any changes that shareholders may wish to take if they are dissatisfied with the performance of these management persons or if they are dissatisfied with the conduct of the Company’s business. Please be advised, however, that our Board of Directors did not unanimously approve the increase in our authorized common shares with the intent to use such a measure as a type of anti-takeover mechanism.
22
If our shareholders do not approve of the amendment to increase our authorized common shares, the Company will not be able to close the Kiwibox Acquisition and will not be able to raise the minimum $3.5 million investment requirement through the private placement of our common shares. If the Company is unable to both close the Kiwibox Acquisition and raise the minimum $3.5 million needed to close this transaction, its financial condition will be materially adversely affected and it may need to limit or curtail its operations.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS ADOPTED RESOLUTIONS THAT SET FORTH THE AMENDMENT, DECLARE THE ADVISABILITY OF THE AMENDMENT, AND SUBMIT THE AMENDMENT TO THE STOCKHOLDERS FOR APPROVAL. THE BOARD RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT BY THE STOCKHOLDERS.
PROPOSAL 3
AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE COMPANY’S CORPORATE NAME TO “KIWIAGE ENTERPRISES, INC.”
As a result of the Company's entering the agreement to acquire Kiwibox and its recent agreement with Imminent Technologies, LLC, granting it the right to sublicense its ergonomic software products and assume all related customer support functions, resulting in a strategic change in the Company’s business, the Company believes that its new selected corporate name, KiwiAge Enterprises, Inc., will more accurately reflect the business of the Company and will generate wider name recognition in the media website development and financial communities. The Company will compete exclusively in the website social networking and media marketplace. With the surge in social networking websites, the Company's Board of Directors and management made the strategic decision to refocus the organization on this fast-growing marketplace once the opportunity presented itself to acquire the website and assets of Kiwibox.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS ADOPTED RESOLUTIONS THAT SET FORTH THE AMENDMENT, DECLARE THE ADVISABILITY OF THE AMENDMENT, AND SUBMIT THE AMENDMENT TO THE STOCKHOLDERS FOR APPROVAL. THE BOARD RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT BY THE STOCKHOLDERS.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On March 31, 2000, the Company and its former President and Chief Executive Officer agreed to convert a current liability payable to him in the amount of $374,890 into a Company obligation, of which $100,000 was subsequently classified as due on demand, which was repaid in April 2002, with the remaining balance of $274,890 maturing July 1, 2002. On February 19, 2002, the maturity of the term portion of $274,890 was extended to July 2003, and the board of directors of the Company approved a change in the conversion option towards a rate of $0.10 per share. In January 2004, $175,000 was repaid and the maturity of the remaining open balance of $99,890 was extended to January, 2005. This amount has been converted into common stock and warrants pursuant to a settlement agreement entered into in December 2006.
23
In May 2005, the Company and its former President and Chief Executive Officer agreed to convert most of his base salary for the remainder of the year 2005 into 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock and 1,000,000 warrants, exercisable during three years at the price of $0.15 per share, in lieu of $100,000 cash. In September 2005 our officers and directors surrendered for cancellation 4,507,709 stock options, 2,283,916 common stock purchase warrants and 11,247,607 common shares in order to provide sufficient authorized common shares to accommodate the Company’s current private placement. We replaced the surrendered and cancelled common shares with shares of our Series E preferred stock which automatically converted in March, 2006, into 11,247,607 common shares, the amount of common shares equal to those surrendered. We also intend to reissue the 4,507,709 stock options and 2,283,916 warrants also surrendered for cancellation by our officers and directors with an equal amount of common shares underlying these securities. The recipients of the Series E preferred stock have waived their right to receive any dividends on their shares.
During 2006 and 2005, one outside director of the Company who also serves as the Company’s general and securities counsel, was paid an aggregate $96,121 and $131,140, respectively, for legal services.
On August 8, 2006, Steven D. Rudnik resigned from the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. Pursuant to the principle terms of the resignation agreement, (a) his current employment agreement was terminated, (b) he resigned the position of chairman, (c) he received 6 million restricted common shares plus cash payments totaling $60,000.00 to be paid in installments through November 1, 2006, and (d) that options and warrants for an aggregate 4,486,875 share which were previously cancelled, be re-issued upon the earlier recurrence of a recapitalization of our securities that would provide sufficient common shares to accommodate them or two years from the date of the agreement. The options and warrants will have similar terms as the original instruments (exercisable at $0.10 and $0.15, respectively), but with expiration dates as of three years from the date of re-issuance.
On December 13, 2006, the Company and Steven D. Rudnik, our former President and Chief Executive Officer signed a second settlement agreement, pursuant to the principal terms of which Mr. Rudnik exchanged a Company promissory note due him in the principal amount of approximately $100,000, a $15,000 payment due him under his resignation agreement of August 8, 2006 and certain interest payments by conversion into 6,250,000 common shares and 3,125,000 warrants, exercisable over a three year period at an exercise price of $.05 per share. The Company also agreed to reissue the previously terminated stock options and warrants on or before February 18, 2007, comprised of 1,583,333 warrants to purchase common shares at the exercise price of $.10 per share anytime during the three-year period, commencing February 18, 2007, and 2,903,542 stock options to purchase common shares at the exercise price of $.10 per share anytime during the three-year period commencing February 18, 2007. This agreement also provides Mr. Rudnik a 12-month "reset" provision that entitles him to automatically benefit from any terms that are more favorable than those set forth in the agreement, including a more favorable debt conversion rate or equity investment price, that the Registrant grants to any party over the next 12 months.
On January 2, 2007, the Company and a former employee, Steven W. Jagels settled a lawsuit commenced by Mr. Jagels against the Company based upon claims which included breach of his employment agreement. We agreed to make a payment of $20,040 to Mr. Jagels and to issue 3,000,000 common shares to him by January 7, 2007. We also agreed to include these shares in this registration statement and when it is declared effective by the SEC, to cause a buyer to purchase these shares from Mr. Jagels for $75,000 prior to February 28, 2007. Upon Mr. Jagels’ receipt of these proceeds, the lawsuit will be discontinued with prejudice, or if not consummated as agreed, the lawsuit will continue.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND CODE OF ETHICS
The Company has always been committed to good corporate governance. In furtherance of this commitment, during 2002 the Board of Directors expanded the duties of the Company’s Audit Committee by increasing the Committee's duties specifically to include responsibility and oversight of corporate governance matters and adherence to the Company’s Code of Ethics. A copy of the Corporate Code of Ethics and Conduct had been included as an exhibit to the Company’s report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Our Board of Directors has determined that none of its current members, Edward L. Marney, Joerg H. Klaube, Joseph J. Tomasek and Steven Gray, are independent in accordance under applicable securities laws. It is the intention, however, of the Board of Directors, to identify and appoint independent directors in the current fiscal year.
Board Committees
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Company has appointed an Audit Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Audit Committee is currently comprised of one director, Steven. Gray, who is a financial expert with knowledge of financial statements, generally accepted accounting principles and accounting procedures and disclosure rules. Mr. Gray is not “independent” as defined in Section10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act. Our Board of Directors intends to appoint additional independent members to this Audit Committee.
COMPENSATION AND NOMINATING COMMITTEES
Our board of directors intends to appoint such persons and form such committees as are required to meet the corporate governance requirements imposed by the national securities exchanges. Therefore, we intend that a majority of our directors will eventually be independent directors. Additionally, our board of directors is expected to appoint a nominating committee and a compensation committee, and to adopt charters relative to each such committee. Until further determination by the Board, the full Board of Directors will undertake the duties of the compensation committee and nominating committee.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION FOR SERIES G PREFERRED STOCK
CERTIFICATE OF POWERS, DESIGNATIONS,
PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF THE SHARES
OF THE PREFERRED STOCK OF
MAGNITUDE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC.
To Be Designated
Series G Senior Convertible Preferred Stock
Magnitude Information Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), in accordance with Section 103 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”), by its President, does hereby certify that during a meeting on April __, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Corporation duly adopted the following resolutions providing for the issuance of a series of Preferred Stock to be designated Series G Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001, and to consist of 43,610 shares:
RESOLVED, that the Corporation is hereby authorized to amend its Certificate of Incorporation and to file a Certificate of Designations of Preferred Stock to provide for 43,610 shares of Series G Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, $.001 par value, Stated Value of $11.46526 (“Series G Senior Preferred”), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Certificate of Designations;
RESOLVED, that the rights, privileges and limitations of each share of Series G Senior Preferred shall be as follows:
1. Issuance. The series of Preferred Stock designated as Series G Senior Preferred shall consist of 43,610 shares.
2. Dividends. The holders of said shares of Series G Senior Preferred shall not be entitled to receive any dividends.
3. Priority. The Series G Senior Preferred shall with respect to dividend rights rank junior to all classes and series of Common Stock, the Cumulative Preferred Stock, and the Series A, B, C, D, E and F Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, and, with respect to liquidation rights rank prior to all classes and series of Common Stock, the Cumulative Preferred Stock, and be on a par with the Series A, B, C, D, E and F Senior Convertible Preferred Stock.
4. Voting. Except as required by the DGCL and as provided in Section (7) below, the holders of said shares of Series G Senior Preferred shall not be entitled to any voting rights.
5. Cancellation. Shares of Series G Senior Preferred which have been issued and reacquired in any manner, including shares purchased or converted into Common Stock, exchanged or redeemed, shall be canceled on the books of the Corporation and shall not be considered outstanding for any purpose.
6. Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or otherwise, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, the holders of the Series G Senior Preferred shall be entitled to receive, out of the remaining net assets of the Corporation, an amount equal to the Stated Value of $11.46526 for each share of Series G Senior Preferred held of record by such holder, payable in cash or in shares of stock, securities or other consideration, the value of which stock, securities or other consideration shall be fixed by the Board of Directors, provided, however, that such remaining net assets are sufficient to cover all the before mentioned payments and also like payments to holders of Series A, B, C, D, E and F Senior Preferred, before any distribution shall be made to the holders of Common Stock or Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Corporation. In case such remaining net assets are insufficient to cover all such payments to holders of Series A, B, C, D, E and F Senior Preferred, the holders of these series shall receive payments on a pro rata basis.
7. Cumulative Dividends. No cumulative dividends shall be payable on the Series G Senior Preferred Stock.
8. Mandatory Conversion. Upon the second anniversary date of that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated February 19, 2007 by and between the Corporation, Magnitude Operations, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation, Kiwibox Media Inc. and the Kiwibox Shareholders, the 43,610 shares of Series G Preferred shares issued to the Kiwibox Shareholders and representing the only outstanding shares of Series G Preferred shall be automatically converted into Common Stock of the Corporation in accordance with the terms set forth below. For all purposes under this Certificate, the 43,610 Series G Preferred shares shall have an aggregate conversion value of $500,000 (the “Conversion Value”) and shall be convertible into shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation, based upon the “Market Price”. The number of Common Shares of the Corporation to be issued in the automatic conversion shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Value of $500,000 by the Market Price of the common shares of the Corporation. The Market Price shall mean the average sales price of a Common Share of the Corporation during the twenty (20) successive trading days immediately preceding the second anniversary date of said Agreement as recorded by the Electronic Bulletin Board, over-the-counter stock market maintained by the NASD or such other stock market where the Common Stock of the Corporation are then traded. For example, if the Market Price is $.025 per share, then the Conversion Value would be 20,000,000 common shares which the Corporation would issue to the holders of the Series G Preferred, the Kiwibox Shareholders in proportion to their ownership of the 43,610 shares of the Series G Preferred Shares. For all purposes under this Certificate, the amount of Common Stock representing the Conversion Value shall not be less than 10,000,000 Common Shares of the Corporation notwithstanding the fact that the Market Price is determined to be above $.05 per share. The Common Shares of the Corporation issuable based upon the Conversion Value shall be issued by the Corporation to the holders of the 43,610 shares of the Series G Preferred, the Kiwibox Shareholders, within thirty days following the second anniversary date of the above identified Agreement, in proportion to the ownership of the 43,610 shares of the Series G Preferred Stock.
9. Anti-Dilution. In the event that, prior to the conversion of the Series G Senior Preferred Stock by the holder thereof into Common Stock of the Corporation, there shall occur any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation by reason of the declaration of stock dividends, or through a re-capitalization resulting from stock splits or combinations, without the receipt by the Corporation of fair consideration therefore in the form of cash, services or property, the conversion ratio of the Series G Senior Preferred Stock into Common Stock of the Corporation provided for in Section (8) above shall be adjusted such that any holder of Series G Senior Preferred Stock converting such stock into Common Stock subsequent to such change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to receive, upon such conversion, a number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation representing the same percentage of common shares outstanding as represented by the shares that he would have received had he converted his Series G Senior Preferred Stock to Common Stock prior to such change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we, the undersigned, have executed and subscribed this certificate on April __, 2007

KIWIBOX BUSINESS PLAN
KIWIBOX MEDIA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Online social networks have made numerous headlines over the past few years with their sticky web-based community features and viral growth patterns. Social networking sites such as MySpace.com and Facebook.com have reached outstanding levels of popularity and command valuations well over $1 billion. To date these sites have focused on users entering college and beyond, leaving the 13-19 demographic untapped. The teenage population, as estimated by the census bureau, topped out at 34 million in the United States while spending over $175 billion in 2003 according to Teenage Research Unlimited. Today's teenagers are the first generation to grow up using the Internet for everything from entertainment and information, to shopping and communication.
Currently, including Kiwibox.com, there are about a dozen highly ranked web sites that are directed toward the teen audience. Although there are a number of players in this market no site has yet to dominate it. We believe the reason that no lead site has emerged is that the current sites either lack valuable content, social networking features, focus on narrow topics or lack the capital to execute. Following are some examples: Alloy.com is well known for its ecommerce and catalog sales capability, but the site significantly lacks in content and social networking features; Magazine based sites such as Seventeen.com or CosmoGirl.com deliver valuable content, however are severely lacking in community/networking facilities; Sites such as Student.com offer a fair balance of content and networking, however focus only on education, heavily limiting their intended audience. Although Kiwibox.com does deliver valuable content, powerful social networking features that coalesce a broad range of teen interests, the company has lacked the capital to fully execute.
For teens, the most sought after content is entertainment related news and products. Entertainment content coupled with the ability to share this content via a social network is the combination that put MySpace.com on the map. Although MySpace attracts a teenage audience this has not been their intent and this community mix of teen/adult has demonstrated that teens need an online place of their own. Teens and their parents are demanding a site focused on “teens only” that delivers exciting entertainment based content and social networking facilities so that they may build a “teenage world” of their own.
Therefore, the social networking site that is able to capture the teenage market, and grow with them as they enter subsequent life stages, college, adult, and work, by channeling them through a series of evolving age relevant social networking sites, will ultimately play the central role in this rapidly expanding and highly valued marketplace.
Kiwibox.com intends to be the dominant online social networking site for teens. There is currently no single online brand that is synonymous with the teenage demographic, and extending online capabilities to the mobile arena represents even greater opportunities. Kiwibox.com will be the primary social networking hub delivering relevant entertainment content and products to teens. By delivering highly personalized and automated aggregation of content and features, Kiwibox.com will be the “Box that aggregates all teen content and social networks” both online and mobile.
Additionally, through replicating and/or licensing the Kiwibox technology, the company will create additional web sites that continue to deliver appropriate life stage content, retaining the teen user as they age and enter new stages where interests change and community groups evolve.
Kiwibox.com has been a leading entertainment focused online social network and has targeted female teenagers between the ages of 13 - 19 since September 1999. Kiwibox.com has built its online brand utilizing a unique “For Teens By Teens” design methodology, and since inception Kwiwbox.com has been an industry leader in adopting user generated site content. By involving the teen user in the creation, editing and moderating of content Kiwibox.com has become the online destination for over 1.8 million registered members and 150,000 unique visitors monthly. We intend to leverage our extensive knowledge of user needs and habits and re-launch an immensely more powerful Kiwibox.com site focused on both the male and female demographic. Within twelve to fifteen months of the re-launch, we project the enhanced Kiwibox.com site to deliver over 100,000 new members monthly, and produce over 50 million page views per month.
Historically the bulk of Kiwibox revenues have been generated via advertising sales and email sponsorship programs. Although these revenues will continue to expand through increased user traffic, we anticipate additional revenue streams to develop, such as contextual and search based revenue programs like Google Adwords; pre-roll and post-roll sponsorships for video content; text and/or multimedia based advertising delivered to mobile devices; premium subscription revenue for certain mobile content or services; as well as integrated online/offline brand campaigns.
After the launch of the new web site, the company will begin releasing mobile-enabled versions of Kiwibox content and features in three stages. The final result will be one of the most advanced and integrated multimedia experience for teens both online and offline. With the explosion of the mobile industry, Kiwibox plans to capture the first mover advantage in this valuable teen market.
The combined technology online and offline will provide the foundation and revenue model for the creation of subsequent “Kiwi” sites targeted at different age and interest groups yielding exponential returns.
An initial investment of $3.5 million will support the company’s development during the first 18 months. The company anticipates that approximately $1,124,000 will be used to fund research and development activities, approximately $610,000 will be used for marketing, public relations and user acquisition, $517,500 will be used for business development and administrative staff and $287,500 will be utilized for content and graphic design. The remaining $961,000 will be used to fund business and technology infrastructure cost. The foregoing amounts represent the company’s best estimate of the use of the proceeds and the amounts actually expended for each purpose may vary.
As the Kiwibox.com networking site develops, multiple exit strategies will also develop. Media companies, such as Time Warner/Universal, and technology based companies, such as Google/ Yahoo, are vying for online market share. With a targeted and loyal user base, Kiwibox will be positioned as an attractive acquisition for those firms looking to extend their reach in these online entertainment markets.

PART I
ITEM 1: BUSINESS
The Company
Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “Magnitude”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 19, 1988 under the name Fortunistics Inc. On March 4, 1993, the Company changed its name to Whitestone Industries, Inc. On July 14, 1997, the Company changed its name to Proformix Systems, Inc., and on November 18, 1998, the Company changed its name to Magnitude Information Systems, Inc.
The Company’s primary product is an integrated suite of proprietary software modules marketed under the name ErgoEnterpriseÔ which are designed to help individual computer users and businesses increase productivity and reduce the risk of potentially preventable repetitive stress injury (RSI). These software modules can be applied individually or together in a comprehensive ergonomic and early intervention program that seeks to modify a user’s behavior by monitoring computer usage patterns over time and warning the user when to break a dangerous trend in repetitive usage of an input device, such as a keyboard or mouse. The product was developed to train people working on computers, monitor computer-use related activities and evaluate a user’s risk exposure and propensity towards injury or loss of effectiveness in connection with his/her day-to-day work. Moreover, the software enables a company to not only address the issue of health risks involving employees and to minimize resulting potential liabilities, but delivers a powerful tool to increase overall productivity.
Background
On June 24, 1997, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement whereby it acquired substantially all of the outstanding stock of Proformix, Inc., a Delaware corporation and manufacturer of ergonomic keyboarding systems. Proformix, Inc. in November 1998 changed its name to Magnitude, Inc. and is hereafter referred to as Magnitude, Inc. The business combination took the form of a reverse acquisition. The Company and Magnitude, Inc. remain as two separate legal entities whereby Magnitude, Inc. operates as a subsidiary of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. On November 18, 1998, the Company sold Magnitude, Inc.’s hardware product line comprised of the ergonomic keyboard platform products and accessories, all related inventory and production tooling and warehousing assets, and all intellectual property rights including the Proformix name, to a Canadian company.
On February 2, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Rolina Corporation, a privately held New Jersey software developing firm, and acquired the rights to certain software products, with such software products subsequently forming the basis for the further development of the Company’s proprietary ErgoEnterpriseÔ software system. The operations of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. are currently comprised solely of the operations of Magnitude, Inc.
Subsequent to December 31, 2006, on February 19, 2007, the Company. signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the owners of a social networking website, to acquire their Kiwibox.com website and business. The Company is presently finalizing an exclusive licensing and support agreement with Imminent Technologies, Inc., licensing the rights to sell, support and further develop its ergonomic business and products. Imminent Technologies, Inc, the licensee, was organized by two former Company employees.
The Company is currently subject to the reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company has the authority to issue an aggregate of Three Hundred Million (300,000,000) Common Shares, par value $.0001, and Three Million (3,000,000) Preferred Shares, par value $.001, of which at December 31, 2006, Two Thousand Five Hundred (2,500) were designated as Cumulative Preferred Shares, par value $.001; Three Hundred Thousand (300,000) were designated as Series A Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001; Three Hundred Fifty Thousand (350,000) were designated as Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001; One Hundred Twenty Thousand (120,000) were designated as Series C Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001; Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) were designated as Series D Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001; and Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) were designated as Series E Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001.
As of December 31, 2006, there were outstanding 224,235,472 Common Shares, 1 Cumulative Preferred Share, and 109,857 Convertible Preferred Shares.

· | Pro-active dialogue with at-risk employees, including surveys and training in the best practices for wellness and productivity. |
· | Strategic profiling and the management of computer use throughout an organization to employ best practices and to measure health, safety, and performance results. |
· | Computer workstation assessment tools. |
We have received a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office relative to certain core inventions within the ErgoEnterpriseÔ system and we have applied for several more patents for our products.
As the utilization of computers in the office has increased significantly in the last decade, so has the rate of health problems believed to be related to the use of computers. Computer ergonomics focus on optimizing the design of technology involved in the utilization of computers in the office, and also attempts to affect the manner in which people interact with computers, so as to minimize the associated health risks. A successful technology delivery system positively impacts the cost of doing business by improving the comfort, productivity, job satisfaction and safety of the computer user, while reducing the costs of absenteeism and work related disability.
Repetitive stress injury (RSI) is a classification of diseases caused by the excessive use of joints. It is a sub-classification of Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTDs). RSI accounts for a large portion of work-related illnesses, and the incidence of RSI is expected to grow as the number of people operating keyboards increases. The impact of RSI is measured not only in the pain and suffering of its victims, but also in time lost from work, and medical costs. The Company’s software products are designed to help businesses deal with potentially preventable repetitive stress injuries, by real-time monitoring of keyboarding activities, pro-active dialog with at-risk employees, and strategic profiling and management of computer use throughout an organization.
A study released in January 2001 by the National Academy of Sciences, originally commissioned by Congress and produced by the National Research Council, finds that work-related back, hand and wrist injuries affect about 1 million U.S. workers every year. The total cost of the resultant disorders is between $45 billion and $54 billion in compensation, lost wages and lower productivity. Increased awareness of the health risks and associated costs led the State of California several years ago implement an ergonomic regulation which directs qualifying employers to establish and maintain a program designed to minimize RSI’s. Such program shall include work-site evaluation, control of the exposures that have caused RSI’s, and training of employees. State agencies and employers in California face fines of up to $25,000 per incident for violating these regulations. The State of Washington adopted similar regulations in 2000, and other states have indicated a willingness to follow suit. The Company believes that the growing recognition of these trends will give rise to a rapidly expanding market for the Company’s products.
The Industry
The Company operates in only one business segment: the development, marketing, and licensing of risk aversion and productivity enhancement software products for the computerized workplace environment. More specifically, the Company licensed highly sophisticated and proprietary software that provides computer based training, work pacing and monitoring tools, as well as a computer workstation assessment tool.
4
Potential customers for the Company’s products are businesses of all sizes, as well as organizations and government departments and agencies that employ many staff in computer-related functions. The software industry in general is comprised of a remarkable variety of providers, ranging from small boutique-type designers to large international corporations. The Company operated primarily in the United States of America.
Products, Trademarks
The Company’s primary product is a suite of nine proprietary software modules marketed under the name ErgoEnterpriseÔ which are designed to help individual computer users and businesses deal with potentially preventable repetitive stress injury (RSI). The nine software modules can be applied individually or together in a comprehensive ergonomic and early intervention program that seeks to modify a user’s behavior by monitoring computer usage patterns over time and warning the user when to break a dangerous trend in repetitive usage of an input device, such as a keyboard or mouse. The product was developed to train people working on computers, monitor computer-use related activities and evaluate a user’s risk exposure and propensity towards injury or loss of effectiveness in connection with his/her day-to-day work. Moreover, the package enables a company to not only address the issue of health risks involving employees and to minimize resulting potential liabilities, but delivers a powerful tool to increase overall productivity.
The system is highly customizable for management, staff and employees. All components operate on any PC or workstation running the Microsoft Windows operating system. ErgoEnterpriseÔ was the first suite of software solutions that combines ergonomic remediation and productivity enhancement tools. Its nine component modules are described as follows:
ErgoTutor™ delivers a complete office ergonomics training course directly to employees at their desktop, and provides employees with clear initial awareness training as well as follow-up training for reinforcement of previously learned materials.
ErgoSURE™ is a postural assessment tool designed to allow the evaluation of employee posture while working at computers. It is an electronic version of the internationally accepted RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) system. This system, developed at the University of Nottingham’s Institute for Occupational Ergonomics in the U.K., allows users to survey a broad range of computer-related work activities involving repetitive motions, allowing the user to detect - and remedy - hazardous situations and conditions.
ErgoSurveyor™ is used to gather usage information from employee populations. Customized, professional quality surveys are designed to corporate specifications and gather important information that may be used to plan ergonomic and corporate business strategies. Responses to risk assessment surveys are gathered and compiled into a database that may be used to create comprehensive, customized reports.
UserNotes™ is an early reporting and “Rapid Response” Intervention tool designed to give employees a way to communicate discomfort to designated staff, allowing issues to be addressed earlier - at a lower cost and a higher likelihood of success. UserNotes is consistently available to everyone in the organization at the workstation or notebook with or without Internet access.
ErgoSentry® measures rest against work in real time, tracking keyboard and mouse activity independently. ErgoSentry’s patented algorithms, designed for prevention and control of RSI risk factors, monitor computer usage patterns over time and alert the user when to take micro-breaks, avoiding high-risk trends in keyboard or mouse usage through a unique and patented empowering feedback mechanism. Users are alerted to take these micro-breaks only when risk exposure exceeds configured limits.
5
EMSAnalyzer™ is designed to measure, analyze and manage all aspects of day-to-day computer use. Raw actual data of normal, everyday use are gathered through ErgoSentry® and accumulated for standard and customized reports that track, analyze and qualify how employees are using their computer stations.
Guardian™ captures metrics on the frequency of keystroking and mousing during each minute throughout the day, and optionally tracks which applications and files users access.
ErgoQuiz™ is an electronic testing system used to assess ergonomic awareness and educate employees.
ErgoMap™ offers employees state of the art ergonomic training at the desktop.
Patents and New Products
ErgoSentry - Patent Granted:
In May 2000 the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office awarded the Company a patent which covers various innovations including a proven approach that helps computer users manage their activity to improve productivity and reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries.
ErgoPal Introduced, Patent Pending:
New patent-pending ErgoPal software is a work pacing tool that helps users mitigate health risks and improve their productivity by gently alerting them to increases in stress and fatigue which are occurring before they realize it.
Studies Involving ErgoEnterpriseÔ
Magnitude has conducted productivity studies using ErgoEnterpriseÔ at various client and prospect sites.
In July 1999, Cornell University released a study entitled “Effects of Ergonomic Management Software on Employee Performance,” a field experimental test of the effects of ErgoEnterprise on computer work activity. Professor Alan Hedge tested the effects of using Magnitude’s ergonomic work pacing software to monitor keyboard and mouse activity, and to provide computer users with information on appropriate, discretionary rest breaks. The software also provided information on stretching exercises, appropriate postures, and appropriate workstation adjustments. The Wall Street office of a nationwide insurance brokerage firm was chosen as the test site for this study.
Data gathered in the study covered 6,195 hours of computer usage, equivalent to 800 person/days of computer use. Participants used computers an average of 5.9 hours per day, and typed over 3,949,000 keystrokes during the course of the study. Employees at the site used their computers for much of the workday. The study evaluated the performance of 21 individuals including executives, administrators, customer service specialists, underwriters, and accountants.
Alerting users to take more short rest and break periods improved work accuracy, and did not impair overall keystroke and mouse usage. These study results agree with previous research. In addition, the study concluded that from an economic standpoint, the performance benefits that may accrue from using ErgoEnterprise indicate a return on investment of approximately 3 months.
One client, the California State Compensation Insurance Fund, conducted a survey using ErgoEnterprise in a pilot program from January 2000 - June 2000. The significant results of the study included:
· | A 50% reduction rate in the total number of Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSD) Claims. |
1 | Hedge, A. “Effects of Ergonomic Management Software on Employee Performance.” Cornell Human Factors Laboratory Technical Report /SP7991, Cornell University, July 1999. |
6
· | A reduction by between 20% and 80% of OSHA reported injuries. |
· | The actual workers’ compensation savings in the pilot program was $120,000. |
· | State Fund’s projected annual workers’ compensation cost savings was approximately $780,000. |
· | There was a total participation of employees in Pilot Program |
· | Employees postponed micro-breaks a maximum of nine minutes. |
· | There was 100% employee satisfaction while using ErgoEnterprise. |
· | Some employees used program to “warm up” prior to their beginning work |
In February 2001, a study by Cornell/Lockheed Martin titled Ergonomic Management Software and Work Performance presented an ROI analysis to quantify the potential economic impact of a 59% improvement in keystroke accuracy for the test group. Based on a combination of factors including estimated hourly employee costs which include some of the following: wages, benefits, occupied internal floor space, pre-study hourly error costs, hourly savings per person, and the annual “per seat” cost of ErgoEnterprise, the study indicated that the breakeven/payback period is achieved in 25.1 hours of usage. Several large industrial clients already have named ErgoEnterprise “Best Practice”. The term “Best Practice” is an acknowledgement that a concept, process, or product is proven to produce the desired results and is applicable throughout the enterprise across organizational lines.
Business Strategy
The most important prospective customers for the Company’s products are large and medium companies, organizations, and governmental departments and agencies that have a relatively large staff working in computer-related functions. These entities not only are more cognizant of the health risks and negative effect on productivity associated with many of the traditional tools of the computerized workplace and therefore tend to be more receptive to new remedial solutions and alternatives based on the science of Ergonomics, but also have a significant exposure in terms of legal liabilities if they fail to act by addressing these potential risks. On an on-going basis, the increasing cost of workers compensation insurance creates a growing incentive to deal with the underlying causes.
Research and Development
The Company invested considerable resources in the further development of the overall ErgoEnterpriseÔ system and related product documentation and marketing collateral materials. In late summer 1997, the first official version of ErgoEnterpriseÔ, Version 1.78, was released, followed by yearly upgrades since then.
The Company has expensed all expenditures related to the above efforts. Such expenses totaled approximately $75,998 for the year ended December 31, 2006, and $217,067 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Competition
The ergonomic software products marketplace is served by a number of smaller software companies, none of which occupies a dominant position. For the most, these competitors market software products that address only one or a few of the task complexes covered by the Company’s products, without thereby offering a comparable breadth of function and integration in such areas as work-site evaluation, employee training and work pacing.
During fiscal year 2006, the Company was not aware of any products that compete - in terms of breadth of functionality - with the integrated software product suite that was marketed by the Company under the trade name ErgoEnterpriseÔ.
Seasonality and Dependency
The industry segment in which the Company does business is not seasonal. The Company’s past revenues come primarily from smaller orders for pilot projects and field tests, and a limited number of individual larger orders where successfully completed pilot projects led to departmental or enterprise-wide deployment. The nature of the business does not usually involve repeat orders and therefore does not create dependency on a specific customer or group of customers. Employees
7
As of December 31, 2006, the Company employed 4 persons, of whom two were primarily engaged in sales and marketing, and two in general administrative and managerial functions. The Company has no collective bargaining agreements with its employees.
Subsequent Events - 2007
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, Company management concluded that the marketplace for the Company’s ergonomic software products was not developing, and would not develop to the material extent necessary in the next 12 to 24 months, to support and sustain the Company’s sales efforts. The continuing length of the sales cycle was increasing, impacted by the lack of our products’ acceptance in the marketplace. Although we sold our ergonomic software to a number of Fortune 500 companies, the Company’s goal to market its product line to ever increasing populations found in our corporate clients’ various business segments and divisions was not being realized. Absent an unambiguous commitment from our clients’ senior management, our ergonomic products often competed with more basic corporate needs in the recent and difficult economic climate. Accordingly, management determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to identify another business opportunity and pursue it for the benefit of our shareholders. In 2006, Edward Marney became our President and Chief Executive Officer while our founder, Steven Rudnik resigned to pursue other ventures. During December, 2006, an investment banker introduced Company management to the owners of a social networking website known as Kiwibox.com. Following a period of mutual due diligence review by both parties, we signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization on February 19, 2007, pursuant to the principal terms of which the Kiwibox business will be merged into our subsidiary. In exchange for the Kiwibox business, we agreed
· | To issue $1,500,000 worth of our restricted common shares and $500,000 worth (conversion value) of our preferred stock to the three Kiwibox owners and to pay them $300,000 cash at closing; |
· | To give each of the three Kiwibox owners a two-year employment agreement that will pay them each a base salary of $150,000 per year and 7,500,000 stock options, vesting over two years with the possibility of earning cash bonuses and 3,000,000 additional stock options each if certain business performance goals are reached within the two-year period. |
We also have agreed to invest $3.5 million in the Kiwibox business over the course of eighteen months and have committed to raise these funds prior to closing. The closing of the Kiwibox transaction is scheduled to occur on or before April 30, 2007. We currently have approximately 297,000,000 common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis. Accordingly, in addition to raising the $3.5 million, we must amend our Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized common shares from 300,000,000 to 600,000,000 common shares to have a sufficient number of common shares necessary to close the Kiwibox transaction.
ITEM 2: PROPERTIES
On September 1, 2006, the Company entered a three year lease (which can be terminated by either party after 12 months) for approximately 850 square feet of office space at 1250 Route 28, Suite 309, Branchburg, New Jersey. This lease agreement calls for a base rental payment of $1,103 per month plus utility/cam/property tax charges of approximately $600 per month, with nominal increases after years two and three.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2006
For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company had revenues of $47,701 compared to $189,552 in 2005. Revenues consisted almost entirely of charges for maintenance and support services.
Gross profits amounted to negative $97,795. Gross profits were burdened with a fixed charge for amortization of certain proprietary software assets. Such software assets underlie the Company’s products and were being amortized on a straight line over 10 years, resulting in a level charge of approximately $13,000 per month to cost-of-goods-sold. After deducting selling -, research -, and general and administrative expenses of $3,619,072 compared to the $2,448,509 recorded in 2005, the Company realized an operating loss of $3,716,867 compared to an operating loss of $2,410,670 in 2005. A large portion of such SG&A expenses is attributable to non-cash charges in connection with the valuation at market price of the underlying stock, of securities issued in connection with settlement agreements reached with a shareholder who was a former officer of the Company, and with the former president and CEO, which together amounted to $632,677. In addition, securities valued at approximately $950,000 were issued as compensation to consultants. Non-operating income and expenses included $326,744 net interest expense (including $291,762 of amortization of debt discounts due to recognition of a derivative conversion option, beneficial conversion features and detachable warrants issued with the debt), $102,762 income in connection with the change in fair value of a derivative conversion option on convertible debt, a charge of 174,954 for the impairment of software intangibles, and income of $192,136 from recording the change in fair value of derivative options and warrants reclassified as liabilities. The Company also realized a credit of $33,740 from the sale of net loss carry-forward tax credits pursuant to the New Jersey Emerging Technology and Biotechnology Financial Assistance Act. The year concluded with a net loss of $3,895,262. After accounting for dividends accrued and discounts on outstanding preferred stock which totaled $578,464 the net loss applicable to common shareholders was $4,473,726or $0.03 per share, compared to a loss of $2,341,492 or $0.02 per share for the previous year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In the absence of cash flow from operations, required working capital to finance ongoing operations was supplied primarily from new equity capital. The Company recorded $1,218,500 in new equity funding in the form of cash. The Company also assumed new private debt in the amount of approximately $440,000.
12
At December 31, 2006, the deficit in working capital amounted to $2,553,451 as compared to $1,016,230 at December 31, 2005. Stockholders’ equity showed an impairment of $2,505,485 at the end of the year, compared to an impairment of $664,381 at the beginning of the year. The negative cash flow from operations totaled $1,589,089 and was substantially financed by new debt and equity which was obtained through private placements. The new equity placements were consummated by issuance of common stock and warrants to accredited private investors in the United States. Details of such transactions can be found in the “Changes and Issuance of Securities” sections in the Company’s reports on Form 10-QSB during the year, as well as in the pertinent section of this report. During 2006, the Company had filed amendments to four previously filed registration statements on Form SB-2, all of which covered common shares directly issued as well as common shares underlying the previously issued convertible preferred stock and warrants, in connection with these and prior financing transactions. These filings were made on behalf of certain investors in the Company’s equities and proceeds of any sales of such registered securities will accrue entirely to such investors. The filings will shortly be updated with the current financial statements and forwarded to the Securities and Exchange Commission for review.
At the time of this submission, the Company had no bank debt. At December 31, 2006 its short-term liabilities, aside from trade payables and accruals, consisted of certain notes and loans aggregating approximately $442,450. Accruals include $341,168 unpaid dividends on outstanding preferred stock. Such dividends will be paid only if and when capital surplus and cash-flow from operations are sufficient to cover the outstanding amounts without thereby unduly impacting the Company’s ability to continue operating and growing its business.
Current cash reserves and net cash flow from operations expected during the near future are inadequate when measured against present and anticipated future needs. In order to remedy the resulting liquidity constraints and address any “going-concern” issues, management, during the third quarter, had drastically reduced staff and the level of on-going cash outlays for operations. In addition, management is currently negotiating with several financing sources with the goal of obtaining commitments for further investments in form of debt or equity capital, to be funded during the upcoming quarter. There can be no assurance, however, that these negotiations will lead to the desired outcome.
Subsequent Events - Fiscal Year 2007
In August, 2006, we negotiated a termination agreement with our founder, Steven Rudnik. As a result, Ed Marney assumed the role of President and management recommended to the Board of Directors That the Company seek a new business opportunity. The Board of Directors determined it was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to scale-down its operations and staff during the third quarter of 2006 in order to decrease overhead. During 2006 we terminated seven employees and reduced our monthly cash expenses from the level at the beginning of the year by approximately $140,000 per month to approximately $60,000 per month during the fourth quarter.
In December, 2006, an investment banker introduced the owners of a social networking website known as Kiwibox.com to management. Following a period of mutual due diligence, the parties signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization on February 19, 2007, pursuant to the principal terms of which the Kiwibox business, owned by the corporation Kiwibox Media, Inc., will merge with our subsidiary and we will issue to the three owners of Kiwibox our securities of an aggregate value of $2,000,000, a $300,000 cash payment at closing and delivery to each of the three Kiwibox owners a two-year employment agreement that will pay each a base salary of $150,000 and stock options to purchase 7,500,000 common shares, vesting over a two-year period, with the ability to earn additional cash and stock bonuses based upon the attainment of certain business goals. The closing of the transaction with Kiwibox is scheduled to occur on or before April 30, 2007, and is subject, among other usual due diligence contingencies, to our having raised $3.5 million in cash by closing which we have promised to invest in Kiwibox in the two-year period following closing.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND CODE OF ETHICS
The Company has always been committed to good corporate governance. In furtherance of this commitment, during 2002 the Board of Directors expanded the duties of the Company’s Audit Committee by increasing the Committee's duties specifically to include responsibility and oversight of corporate governance matters and adherence to the Company’s Code of Ethics. A copy of the Corporate Code of Ethics and Conduct had been included as an exhibit to the Company’s report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002.
20
Our Board of Directors has determined that none of its current members, Edward L. Marney, Joerg H. Klaube, Joseph J. Tomasek and Steven Gray, are independent in accordance under applicable securities laws. It is the intention, however, of the Board of Directors, to identify and appoint independent directors in the current fiscal year.
Board Committees
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Company has appointed an Audit Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Audit Committee is currently comprised of one director, Steven. Gray, who is a financial expert with knowledge of financial statements, generally accepted accounting principles and accounting procedures and disclosure rules. Mr. Gray is not “independent” as defined in Section10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act. Our Board of Directors intends to appoint additional independent members to this Audit Committee.
COMPENSATION AND NOMINATING COMMITTEES
Our board of directors intends to appoint such persons and form such committees as are required to meet the corporate governance requirements imposed by the national securities exchanges. Therefore, we intend that a majority of our directors will eventually be independent directors. Additionally, our board of directors is expected to appoint a nominating committee and a compensation committee, and to adopt charters relative to each such committee.

On February 19, 2002, the maturity of the term portion of $274,890 was extended to July 2003, and the board of directors of the Company approved a change in the conversion option towards a rate of $0.10 per share. In January 2004, $175,000 was repaid and the maturity of the remaining open balance of $99,890 was extended to January, 2005. This amount has been converted into common stock and warrants pursuant to a settlement agreement entered into in December 2006.
In May 2005, the Company and its President and Chief Executive Officer agreed to convert most of his base salary for the remainder of the year 2005 into 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock and 1,000,000 warrants, exercisable during three years at the price of $0.15 per share, in lieu of $100,000 cash.

We replaced the surrendered and cancelled common shares with shares of our Series E preferred stock which automatically converted in March, 2006, into 11,247,607 common shares, the amount of common shares equal to those surrendered. We also intend to reissue the 4,507,709 stock options and 2,283,916 warrants also surrendered for cancellation by our officers and directors with an equal amount of common shares underlying these securities. The recipients of the Series E preferred stock have waived their right to receive any dividends on their shares.

The options and warrants will have similar terms as the original instruments (exercisable at $0.10 and $0.15, respectively), but with expiration dates as of three years from the date of re-issuance.
On December 13, 2006, the Company and Steven D. Rudnik, our former President and Chief Executive Officer signed a second settlement agreement, pursuant to the principal terms of which Mr. Rudnik exchanged a Company promissory note due him in the principal amount of approximately $100,000, a $15,000 payment due him under his resignation agreement of August 8, 2006 and certain interest payments by conversion into 6,250,000 common shares and 3,125,000 warrants, exercisable over a three year period at an exercise price of $.05 per share. The Company also agreed to reissue the previously terminated stock options and warrants on or before February 18, 2007, comprised of 1,583,333 warrants to purchase common shares at the exercise price of $.10 per share anytime during the three-year period, commencing February 18, 2007, and 2,903,542 stock options to purchase common shares at the exercise price of $.10 per share anytime during the three-year period commencing February 18, 2007.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses and significant working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Organization
Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 19, 1988 under the name Fortunistics, Inc. On November 18, 1998, the Company changed its name to Magnitude Information Systems, Inc.
The Company and Magnitude, Inc. are two separate legal entities whereby Magnitude, Inc. operates as a subsidiary of the Company. However, the operations of the combined entity are currently comprised solely of the operations of Magnitude, Inc. The 1% of Magnitude, Inc. not owned by the Company constitutes a minority interest which is valued at $0.
The Company’s primary product is an integrated suite of proprietary software modules marketed under the name ErgoEnterpriseTM which are designed to help individual computer users and businesses increase productivity and reduce the risk of potentially preventable repetitive stress injury (RSI). These software modules can be applied individually or together in a comprehensive ergonomic and early intervention program that seeks to modify a user’s behavior by monitoring computer usage patterns over time and warning the user when to break a dangerous trend in repetitive usage of an input device, such as a keyboard or mouse. The product was developed to train people working on computers, monitor computer-use related activities and evaluate a user’s risk exposure and propensity towards injury or loss of effectiveness in connection with his/her day-to-day work. Moreover, the software enables a company to not only address the issue of health risks involving employees and to minimize resulting potential liabilities, but delivers a powerful tool to increase overall productivity.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company accounts for cash and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. and its subsidiary, Magnitude, Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation on equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements is computed on the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of such assets between 5-10 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Repairs and maintenance which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred.

Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expense was $387 and $811 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Evaluation of Long Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are assessed for recoverability on an ongoing basis. In evaluating the fair value and future benefits of long-lived assets, their carrying value would be reduced by the excess, if any, of the long-lived asset over management’s estimate of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived asset.
Securities Issued for Services
The Company accounts for stock, stock options and stock warrants issued for services and compensation by employees under the fair value method. For non-employees, the fair market value of the Company’s stock is measured on the date of stock issuance or the date an option/warrant is granted. The Company determined the fair market value of the warrants/options issued under the Black-Scholes Pricing Model. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123(R), SHARE-BASED PAYMENT, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee's requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based compensation to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, and related interpretations. The Company also followed the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. The Company elected to adopt the modified prospective transition method as provided by SFAS 123(R) and, accordingly, financial statement amounts for the prior periods presented in the Form 10-KSB have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation.
Reclassification of certain securities under EITF 00-19
Pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 00-19, if a company has more than one contract subject to this Issue, and partial reclassification is required, there may be different methods that could be used to determine which contracts, or portions of contracts, should be reclassified. The Company's method for reclassification of such contracts is reclassification of contracts with the latest maturity date first. The changes in fair value for all contracts previously reclassified during 2006 amounted in total to a credit of $192,137.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the Company’s income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial- and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Common Stock equivalents have not been included in this computation since the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue recognition policy for software sales is in accordance with Accounting Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2 “Software Revenue Recognition” and SOP 98-9 “Software Revenue recognition” which modifies SOP 97-2. Revenue is recognized at the time of licensing provided that the resulting receivable is deemed probable of collection and is fixed or determinable. Revenue from software maintenance contracts is recognized ratably as earned. When a sales contract includes multiple elements, revenues are allocated to the various elements based on Company-specific objective evidence of fair value, regardless of any separate prices for each element that may be stated within the contract.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted principles 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred net losses of $3,895,262 and $2,218,257 during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and has a significant working capital deficiency. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on increasing sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans are to continue discussions with several potential investors to obtain additional capital in order to alleviate the situation.
CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains cash balances in several financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. Balances in these accounts may, at times, exceed the federally insured limits.
The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers located throughout the world. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

Insurance | $ | 13,089 | ||

As a consequence to the move of our principal offices and the curtailment of staff during 2006 we disposed of certain office furniture and equipment assets with an aggregate original cost of $124,230 that were no longer needed, thereby incurring a loss of $355.
IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLE SOFTWARE ASSETS
As a consequence of the re-direction of our business towards the imminent merger with Kiwibox Media Inc. and the planned completion of an exclusive licensing and support agreement with Imminent Technologies, Inc., licensing the rights to sell, support and further develop our ergonomic business and products (“SUBSEQUENT EVENTS FOOTNOTE”) we recognized a loss of $174,955 representing the write-off of the residual balance of software assets underlying our ergonomic software products.

The 2000 Plan provides that certain options granted thereunder are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” (ISO) within the meaning of Section 422A of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, while nonqualified options may also be granted under the Plan. The initial Plan provides for the grant of options for up to 5,000,000 shares. The purchase price per share of common stock deliverable upon exercise of each ISO shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date such option is granted. If an ISO is issued to an individual who owns, at the time of grant, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the Company’s common stock, the exercise price of such option shall be at least 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant, and the term of the option shall not exceed five years from the date of grant. The purchase price of shares subject to non-qualified stock options shall be determined by a compensation committee established by the Board of Directors.

STOCK OPTION PLANS - (Continued)
At December 31, 2006 the company has two stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully above. The company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. The Company has not granted any options to employees during the years 2006 and 2005.
The Company also issues options outside of the Stock Incentive Plans which are comprised as follows:

At December 31, 2006 and 2005 the weighted average exercise price and weighted average remaining contractual life is $0.20 and $0.57 per share, and 1 year 11 months and 2 years 5 months, respectively.
Of the options granted during the year ended December 31, 2006, 3,750,000 were granted as stock-based compensation to a consultant and 2,903,542 were granted to a former officer under a settlement agreement resulting in stock-based compensation of $137,026 (see “RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS”). These options were valued using the Black-Scholes fair value method, with the following range of assumptions based on the fair value of common stock and exercise price of the options when the options were granted: risk-free rates - 4.34% to 4.86%, dividends - 0, volatility - 117% to 155%. Total stock-based compensation recorded for the options issued to consultants was $256,925 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
Settlement Agreements
During the fourth quarter the Company engaged in two settlement negotiations: the first was with our former CEO and President, Steven D. Rudnik, pursuant to which we issued to him 13,861,875 Company securities in exchange for an outstanding Company note in the approximate amount of $99,890, accrued interest and a debt of $15,000, and; the second settlement was with our former executive, Steven Jagels, pursuant to which we issued to him 3,000,000 shares in exchange for his claims against the Company arising under his employment agreement. . The issuances of Company securities in these transactions represented violations of the private placement offering rules since it raised the issue of whether or not the publicly filed and pending registration statement acted as an advertising mechanism or a Company "general solicitation" of the offering of securities in these settlement transactions. If a general solicitation was found to have occurred, Messrs. Rudnik and Jagels would have the legal right to rescind their settlement agreements during the one year period following the consummation of these transactions. Since Messrs. Rudnik and Jagels had long established, direct relationships with Company officers, directors, advisors and shareholders, Company management believes that they made their investment decisions based upon those relationships. The Company firmly believes that no such general solicitation, in fact, occurred and would vigorously defend against any such claims.
Stock-Based Compensation Agreements
In March 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant providing 500,000 common shares as a sign-up bonus, 750,000 common shares for services rendered during the initial six month period of the contract and an additional 750,000 common shares for an extension period of six months (through March 2006). The Consultant is also entitled to contingent remuneration based on the achievement by the Company of certain profit goals. No obligation was incurred for this contingent provision in 2005. The consultant is also contingently entitled to a fee based on proceeds that may be obtained through mergers or other business combinations, as follows: 5% of first $1,000,000 in consideration, 4% of the second $1,000,000, 3% of the third $1,000,000, 2% of the fourth $1,000,000 and 1% of the consideration above $4,000,000.
In October 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with two consultants, providing for a monthly retainer of $12,000 for a three month period. The retainer is to be paid as follows: (1) $4,000 per month starting October 2005, (2) $4,000 per month accruing until due in January 2006 and (3) warrants to purchase 200,000 of the Company’s common shares, exercisable at $0.10 per share. The consultants are contingently entitled to additional fees and warrants based on certain achievements for the remainder of the term of the agreement of one year, unless extended, and success fees for revenues generated at a rate of 15% for the first year of revenues from an introduced party and 7.5% for such revenues for the subsequent four years.
Also during 2005, the Company entered into agreements for consulting services, with the following provisions: (1) cash commission on sales and/or licensing of 5% on revenues within the first year and 2.5% on subsequent years’ revenues from such transactions; (2) if determined to be directly involved in securing the initial sale, the consultants’ commission rates per above would be 15% and 7.5%, respectively, for transactions with a Federal or State entity and 10% and 5%, respectively, for other clients; (3) any cash commission earned per the above shall be matched by the Company with a non-qualified stock option to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s common stock which equates the amount of commission earned (for example, $10,000 in commission would equate to 10,000 options). The exercise price of such options would be based on 90% of the average of the bid and ask prices of the Company’s common stock during the 20 day trading period preceding the consummation of the transaction, with a minimum exercise price of $0.10 per share.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
During the first quarter in 2006 the Company entered into consulting agreements with seven outside consultants for sales, marketing and general business advisory services. Such consulting agreements provided for compensation packages which besides certain cash remuneration include in the aggregate, subject to such agreements being in effect at future dates, the issuance of up to 1,200,000 restricted common shares, warrants for the purchase of up to 2,500,000 shares exercisable at prices between $0.10 and $0.15 per share, and options for the acquisition of up to 3,250,000 shares exercisable at prices between $0.08 and $0.10 per share. Certain of these agreements call for contingent payments of earned commissions in cash and restricted stock or with common stock options exercisable at the higher of $0.10 per share or 90% of the 20 day trailing market price of the Company’s stock prior to the date earned.
The Company also entered into an agreement with a sales executive which provided for the issuance of 400,000 restricted shares and, conditionally, sales commissions payable in the form of common shares valued at the higher of $0.10 per share or 90% of the prevailing market price of the Company’s stock.
During the second quarter in 2006 the Company’s board of directors ratified a two-year consulting agreement with an outside director to provide specialized business advisory services and to work directly for the chief executive officer in connection with certain sales and marketing projects. The agreement provides for a compensation package which includes the issuance of (a) 200,000 restricted common shares and an option to purchase 500,000 shares at the price of $0.15/share at the beginning of the consultancy and again after twelve month, and (b) 150,000 restricted shares per month during the term.
In August 2006 the Company entered into a one-year agreement with a firm specializing in technology and IP transfers, for the purpose of discovering potential candidate firms or products that would enhance Magnitude’s own software products and marketing stance. Under the agreement, the Company issued 2,254,151 restricted common shares valued at $112,708 which vest at the rate of 187,846 shares per month. The agreement was terminated in November and 1,556,291 shares were returned to the Company and subsequently cancelled.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On March 31, 2000, the Company and its President and Chief Executive Officer agreed to convert a current liability payable to him in the amount of $374,890 into a Company obligation, of which $100,000 was subsequently classified as due on demand, which was repaid in April 2002, with the remaining balance of $274,890 maturing July 1, 2002. On February 19, 2002, the maturity of the term portion of $274,890 was extended to July 2003, and the board of directors of the Company approved a change in the conversion option towards a rate of $0.10 per share. In January 2004, $175,000 was repaid and the maturity of the remaining open balance of $99,890 was extended to January, 2005. This amount was repaid in the form of restricted common shares pursuant to a settlement agreement with the holder, entered into in December 2006 (see detail description below).
In May 2005, the Company and its President and Chief Executive Officer agreed to convert most of his base salary for the remainder of the year 2005 into 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock and 1,000,000 warrants, exercisable during three years at the price of $0.15 per share, in lieu of $100,000 cash.
In September 2005 our officers and directors surrendered for cancellation 4,507,709 stock options, 2,283,916 common stock purchase warrants and 11,247,607 common shares in order to provide sufficient authorized common shares to accommodate the Company’s current private placement. We replaced the surrendered and cancelled common shares with shares of our Series E preferred stock which are automatically convertible in March, 2006, into 11,247,607 common shares, the amount of common shares equal to those surrendered. We also intend to reissue the 4,507,709 stock options and 2,283,916 warrants also surrendered for cancellation by our officers and directors with an equal amount of common shares underlying these securities following adoption by the shareholders of a proposed amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation which amendment if adopted would increase the number of authorized common shares from 300,000,000.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)
During 2006 and 2005, one outside director of the Company who also serves as the Company’s general and securities counsel, was paid an aggregate $96,121 and $131,140, respectively, for legal services.
On August 8, 2006, Steven D. Rudnik resigned from the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. Pursuant to the principal terms of the resignation agreement, (a) his current employment agreement was terminated, (b) he resigned the position of chairman, (c) he received 6 million restricted common shares plus cash payments totaling $60,000.00 to be paid in installments through November 1, 2006, and (d) that options and warrants for an aggregate 4,486,875 shares which were previously cancelled, be re-issued upon the earlier recurrence of a recapitalization of our securities that would provide sufficient common shares to accommodate them or two years from the date of the agreement. The options and warrants will have similar terms as the original instruments (exercisable at $0.10 and $0.15, respectively), but with expiration dates as of three years from the date of re-issuance.
On December 13, 2006, the Company and Steven D. Rudnik, our former President and Chief Executive Officer signed a second settlement agreement, pursuant to the principal terms of which Mr. Rudnik exchanged a Company promissory note due him in the principal amount of approximately $99,890, a $15,000 payment due him under his resignation agreement of August 8, 2006 and certain interest payments for a conversion option whereby the obligations could be converted into common stock at $0.02 per share (6,250,000 common shares upon agreement) and 3,125,000 warrants issuable upon conversion, exercisable over a three year period at an exercise price of $.05 per share. Debt discounts on the obligations were recognized for the value of the issuable warrants, which was determined by a Black-Scholes calculation to be $67,503, and for the intrinsic value of the conversion option, which was determined to have a beneficial conversion feature. These discounts were immediately amortized as interest expense due to the demand nature of the obligations. The obligations were converted into the common stock and warrants in December 2006. The Company also agreed to reissue previously terminated stock options and warrants on or before February 18, 2007, comprised of 1,583,333 warrants to purchase common shares at the exercise price of $.10 per share anytime during the three-year period, commencing February 18, 2007, and 2,903,542 stock options to purchase common shares at the exercise price of $.10 per share anytime during the three-year period commencing February 18, 2007. This agreement also provides Mr. Rudnik a 12-month "reset" provision that entitles him to automatically benefit from any terms that are more favorable than those set forth in the agreement, including a more favorable debt conversion rate or equity investment price, that the Registrant grants to any party over the next 12 months.
On January 2, 2007, the Company and a former employee, Steven W. Jagels settled a lawsuit commenced by Mr. Jagels against the Company based upon claims which included breach of his employment agreement. We agreed to make a payment of $20,040 to Mr. Jagels and to issue 3,000,000 common shares to him by January 7, 2007. We also agreed to include these shares in this registration statement and when it is declared effective by the SEC, to cause a buyer to purchase these shares from Mr. Jagels for $75,000 prior to February 28, 2007. Upon Mr. Jagels’ receipt of these proceeds, the lawsuit will be discontinued with prejudice, or if not consummated as agreed, the lawsuit will continue.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, long-term debt and capitalized lease obligations:
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short term maturity of these instruments.
Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities and permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation.
SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event occurring after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management does not expect the implementation of this new standard to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Asset. SFAS No. 156 amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.
SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management does not expect the implementation of this new standard to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not expect the implementation of this new standard to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
On September 13, 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Period Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.”, which provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. The standard is effective for the first annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2006. The Company is currently considering the effect of implementing the requirements of this standard.
On February 3, 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FSP FAS 123R-4, "Classification of Options and Similar Instruments Issued as Employee Compensation That Allow for Cash Settlement Upon the Occurrence of a Contingent Event." This FASB Staff Position (FSP) addresses the classification of options and similar instruments issued as employee compensation that allow for cash settlement upon the occurrence of a contingent event. The guidance in this FSP amends paragraphs 32 and A229 of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment

On October 10, 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FSP FAS 123R-5, "Amendment of FASB Staff Position FAS 123R-1." This FASB Staff Position (FSP) addresses whether a modification of an instrument in connection with an equity restructuring should be considered a modification for purposes of applying FSP FAS 123(R)-1, “Classification and Measurement of Freestanding Financial Instruments Originally Issued in Exchange for Employee Services under FASB Statement No. 123(R).”
On February 3, 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FSP FAS 123R-6, "Technical Corrections of FASB Statement No. 123(R)." This FASB Staff Position (FSP) addresses certain technical corrections of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment.
The Company’s adoption of SFAS 123(R) and the implementation of these new standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
LITIGATION
At the time of this report, the Company is not a party in any legal proceedings.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 19, 2007 we signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization pursuant to the principal terms of which the business of Kiwibox Media Inc.will be merged into a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In exchange for the Kiwibox business, we agreed (a) to issue $1,500,000 worth of our restricted common shares and $500,000 worth (conversion value) of our preferred stock to the three Kiwibox owners and to pay them $300,000 cash at closing; (b) to give each of the three Kiwibox owners a two-year employment agreement that will pay them each a base salary of $150,000 per year and 7,500,000 stock options, vesting over two years with the possibility of earning cash bonuses and 3,000,000 additional stock options each if certain business performance goals are reached within the two-year period.
We also have agreed to invest $3.5 million in the Kiwibox business over the course of two years and have committed to raise these funds prior to closing. The closing of the Kiwibox transaction is scheduled to occur on or before April 30, 2007. We currently have approximately 297,000,000 common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis. Accordingly, in addition to raising the $3.5 million, we must amend our Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized common shares from 300,000,000 to 600,000,000 common shares to have a sufficient number of common shares necessary to close the Kiwibox transaction.
In February 2007 we completed a bridge financing pursuant to which we issued two promissory notes for an aggregate $100,000 received in cash. The notes mature in 90 days and carry interest at the rate of 12% per year. We paid $10,000 and issued 500,000 restricted common shares as loan origination fees.

The Board of Directors
Kiwibox Media, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Kiwibox Media, Inc. (an "S" Corporation) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related statements of operations and stockholders' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kiwibox Media, Inc. at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1 - Nature of Operations:
Since its inception in 1999 Kiwibox.com has developed a portal, to an online community for high school and college females, with daily content created by writers from around the world. Kiwibox.com is a large distribution and marketing channel that connects marketers in a controlled and interactive environment with the targeted female audience.
On February 19, 2007, the stockholders of the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") with Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. ("Magnitude"), a public company, and Magnitude Operations, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magnitude (Magy-Sub").

As a result, Magy-Sub will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, and the three stockholders of the Company will receive newly issued shares of common stock of Magnitude. The Merger transaction is expected be completed in 2007.
Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies:
Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition:
The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenue from advertising on its website and advertising contained in e-mails to members from their mailing lists. Most contracts require the Company to deliver to the customer impressions, click-throughs or new customers, or some combination thereof. Accordingly, advertising revenue is estimated and recognized for the period in which customer impressions, click through or new customers are delivered.
Licensing and hosting revenue consists of an annual contract with a client to provide web-site hosting and assistance.
Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase.
Concentrations of credit risk:
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit and other accounts, the balances of which, at times, may exceed Federally insured limits. Exposure to credit risk is reduced by placing such deposits or other temporary investments in high credit quality financial institutions.

Sales to two customers in 2006 represented 45.2% of the Company's revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006. Approximately $11,360 of total December 31, 2006 accounts receivable are due from these two customers.

The Company capitalized certain internal use software and website development costs totaling approximately $33,000. The software and website development costs were recorded at historical costs and amortized using the straight-line method over three years.
