CONSENT SOLICITATION STATEMENT
FOR
THE SOLICITATION OF WRITTEN CONSENTS
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. | Increase the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue from 700,000,000 to 1,400,000,000 shares, and. |
2. | To ratify the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. |
We will sometimes refer to Proposal 1, to increase our authorized common stock and the accompanying amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, as the “Amendment”, and; to Proposal 2, the ratification of the appointment of our auditors, as the “Appointment”. A copy of the proposed Amendment to increase the Company’s authorized common stock is attached as Exhibit A. The Company intends to distribute this Consent Statement and the accompanying Consent Card commencing on or about January 5, 2009, to the holders of record of the Common Stock as of the close of business on December 29, 2008. 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 Amendment and Appointment. .
Only stockholders of record as of December 29, 2008, are entitled to consent, to withhold their consent, or to revoke their consent to the proposals contained in this Proxy Statement. 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 [_____________] issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
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 [ ].
The Amendment and Appointment will be approved if by [ ], the Company holds unrevoked written consents of stockholders approving the Amendment and the Appointment 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 the approval of the Amendment and to the Appointment. 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 Amendment and Appointment.

Stockholders are requested to indicate their approval and consent to the Amendment and to the Appointment by signing and dating the Consent Card, checking each box on the Consent Card for the Amendment and for the Appointment, and delivering the Consent Card to the Company's transfer agent at the address set forth below. Withholding of consent to the Amendment or the Appointment, or abstention with respect to these proposals, may be indicated by signing and dating the Consent Card, checking the box which corresponds to withholding of consent for the Amendment or the Appointment or abstention with respect to the approval of each of these proposals, 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 AMENDMENT, THE APPOINTMENT AND THIS CONSENT SOLICITATION”.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE AMENDMENT, THE APPOINTMENT AND THIS 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:
1. | Increase the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue from 700,000,000 to 1,400,000,000 shares, and. |
2. | To ratify the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. |
What is the voting requirement to approve the Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation?
The Amendment to increase our authorized common stock by an additional 700,000,000 shares will be approved if by [ ], the Company holds unrevoked written consents of stockholders approving the Amendment 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 Amendment. 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 Amendment.
5
Why is the Company seeking to increase the number of common shares it is authorized to issue?
We currently have [_____________] issued and outstanding common shares, 33,153,542 outstanding stock options, 137,332,981 outstanding common stock purchase warrants, and 129,500 preferred shares which may be converted into 25,729,537 common shares. In addition, we have entered commitments to issue additional, 940,000 stock purchase warrants. With only 700,000,000 authorized common shares, the Company requires 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.
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 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.
What is the voting requirement to ratify the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009?
The ratification of the appointment of our accounting firm to serve as our auditors will be approved if by [ ], the Company holds unrevoked written consents of stockholders approving the Appointment 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 Appointment.
How does the Company’s Board of Directors recommend that I vote for the proposals contained in this Consent Solicitation?
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote on the attached Consent Card (1) to approve the increase in the Company’s authorized common shares from 700,000,000 to 1,400,000,000 common shares and (2) to ratify the Appointment.
Who can sign the Consent Cards?
You can sign the written Consent Card attached to this document and vote your shares if our records show that you owned shares of our common stock as of December 29, 2008. On that date, a total of [_____________] shares of common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote by written consent in this solicitation of written consent. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held by such stockholder. The enclosed Consent Card shows the number of shares you can vote.
How do I vote my shares in this Consent Solicitation?
Follow the instructions on the enclosed Consent Card to vote on each proposal to be considered in this Solicitation Statement. Sign and date the Consent Card and mail it to Securities Transfer Corporation, 2591 Dallas Parkway, Suite 102, Frisco, Texas 75034, Attention: Proxy Department, in the enclosed envelope.
6
Can I change my vote after I return my Consent Card?
Yes. At any time before [ ], you can change your vote either by giving us a written notice revoking your Consent Card or by signing, dating, and returning to us a new Consent Card. We will honor the Consent Card with the latest date.
What do I do if my shares are held in “street name”?
If your shares are held in the name of your broker, a bank, or other nominee, that party should give you instructions for voting your shares.
What does it mean if I get more than one Consent Card?
It means you hold shares registered in more than one account. Sign and return all Consent Cards to ensure that all your shares are voted.
How many votes do I have?
Stockholders who owned the Company’s common shares as of the close of business on December 29, 2008 are entitled to vote on the three matters identified in this Consent Solicitation. Each common share is entitled to one vote per share.
How are votes counted?
Only signed, dated and delivered Consent Cards will be accepted and counted on [ ], approving, withholding of consent or abstention on the two proposals contained in this Consent Solicitation. A Consent card which has been signed, dated and delivered to our transfer agent without indicating approval, withholding of consent, or abstention will constitute a consent to the Amendment and to the Appointment.
Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware states that, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, and those consents are delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which the proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation contains no provision or language in any way limiting the right of stockholders of the Company to take action by written consent.
Only stockholders of record as of December 29, 2008 are entitled to consent, to withhold their consent, or to revoke their consent, to the Amendment and to the Appointment. 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 [_____________] issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
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 [ ].

Who pays for this Consent Solicitation?
Magnitude does. In addition to sending you these materials, some of our directors and employees may contact you by telephone, by mail, or in person. None of our directors or employees will receive any extra compensation for any such solicitation.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
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 a registration statement and when declared effective by the SEC, to cause a buyer to purchase these shares from Mr. Jagels for $75,000 prior to February 28, 2007. At the time of this report, the law suit has been settled.
In January 2007 we issued warrants for 3,125,000 shares, exercisable at $0.05 per share, to the former president and chief executive officer, in connection with a settlement agreement reached during the fourth quarter in 2006.
In May 2007 the Company reached agreement with the former president and chief executive officer to the effect that, in return for issuance of 2,000,000 shares, he would issue a waiver with respect to the Company’s obligation for filing a registration statement for certain securities previously issued to him by the Company.
During the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2008 one outside director of the Company who also serves as the Company’s general and securities counsel, was paid an aggregate $20,000 and $240,632, respectively, for legal services. At September 30, 2008, the Company owed this director $187,407. Another outside director was paid $30,000 during the second quarter in 2008, for business consulting services.
During the second quarter in 2008, we paid $24,000 to a major shareholder for investor relations services.
In August, 2008, we issued an aggregate 30,560,000 restricted common shares to the three Kiwibox principals pursuant to our Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated February 19, 2007, and subsequent amendments, as disclosed in our report and exhibit, filed on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2008.
On August 17, 2008, one of the three Kiwibox Shareholders resigned his employment. As part of this agreement, his outstanding stock options were cancelled and the consultant entered into an agreement that provided for his future services to the Company as an independent consultant for six months at $12,500 per month. On September 5, 2008, the Company reached a Settlement Agreement with the consultant whereby the Company forgave the balance of loans due from the former shareholder in the balance of $155,459 for $75,000 in cash and by offsetting of $75,000 of notes payable due to the former shareholder. The difference of $5,459 was treated as additional compensation.
Subsequent to September 30, 2008, we repaid the remaining $75,000 on the note obligation due under the amended Kiwibox acquisition agreement.

16
Board Committees
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Board of Directors of the Company serves as its Audit Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our Board of Directors intends to appoint an Audit Committee, the majority of whom shall be independent directors during the next fiscal year.
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.
PROPOSAL ONE
TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO OUR
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, AS AMENDED,
TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK
Our board of directors proposes that our stockholders consider and approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the total number of authorized shares of our common stock from 700,000,000 to 1,400,000,000 shares.
Our company is currently authorized to issue up to 700,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value. At December 29, 2008, there were [_____________] shares of common stock outstanding, and our board of directors had reserved 33,153,542 shares of common stock for issuance upon exercise of outstanding options, 172,272,981 shares of common stock for issuance upon exercise of outstanding and to-be-issued common stock purchase warrants and 25,729,537 shares of common stock for issuance upon the conversion of our 129,500 Convertible Preferred Stock. Accordingly, at December 29, 2008, approximately [ ] shares of our common stock remained unreserved and available for future issuance.
Purposes of this Proposal
The proposed amendment would increase the number of shares of common stock that we are authorized to issue from 700,000,000 shares to 1,400,000,000 shares.
If this proposal is approved, we may use such additional shares of common stock for, among other things:
· | raising working capital; |
· | providing equity incentives to employees, officers or directors; |
· | establishing strategic relationships with other companies; |
· | expanding our business through acquisitions and other investment opportunities; |
· | paying existing and future obligations and commitments; and |
· | for general corporate purposes. |
17
General Effect of the Changes to Our Common Stock
The proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock could have a number of effects on the Company's stockholders depending upon the exact nature and circumstances of any actual issuances of authorized but unissued shares. The increase could have an anti-takeover effect, in that additional shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover of the Company more difficult. For example, additional shares could be issued by the Company so as to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain control of the Company. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to certain persons allied with the Company's management could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove the Company's current management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal. The Board of Directors is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, and this proposal is not being presented with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti- takeover device.
Except for the Company’s current private placement pursuant to an investment commitment received from Tell Capital AG for $1,000,000, at the “Unit” subscription price of $.025, with each Unit comprised of one restricted common share and one 5-year warrant, exercisable at $.05 per share, and as reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 29, 2008, there are currently no plans, arrangements, commitments or understandings for the issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock which are proposed to be authorized:
The holders of our common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights with respect to the issuance of additional common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock. Stockholders should recognize that the issuance of additional shares of common stock might dilute the ownership and voting rights of stockholders and, depending upon the price at which the shares are issued, could be dilutive to existing stockholders and have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
Required Vote and Board Recommendation
Our board of directors has declared the proposed Amendment to be advisable and in our best interests and in the best interests of our stockholders, and has approved and adopted the proposed Amendment in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and is accordingly submitting the proposed Amendment to our stockholders for their consideration and vote. If the Amendment is approved, it will become effective upon the acceptance for filing of a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. If our stockholders do not approve this proposal, our ability to fund our future operations through the sale of shares of our common stock may be adversely impacted.
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote in this Consent Solicitation will be required to approve the Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended. As a result, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as “Against” votes.
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, AS AMENDED, TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
PROPOSAL TWO
APPROVAL OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors has appointed Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company, as its independent registered public accounting firm, to audit the accounts of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The Board of Directors approved the reappointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company (which has been engaged as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since 2000). Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company has advised the Company that neither the firm nor any of its members or associates has any direct financial interest in the Company or any of its affiliates other than as auditors. Although the selection and appointment of independent auditors is not required to be submitted to a vote of shareholders, the Directors deem it desirable to obtain the shareholders’ ratification and approval of this appointment.
18
The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed by Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 for audit and non-audit services and are categorized as Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees, which have all been pre-approved by the Board of Directors. The nature of the services provided in each such category is described following the table:
2007 | 2006 | |||||||
Audit Fees | $ | 79,373 | $ | 66,433 | ||||
Audit-Related Fees | 0 | 0 | ||||||
Tax Fees | 5,416 | 5,656 | ||||||
All Other Fees | 0 | 0 | ||||||
Total Fees | $ | 84,789 .00 | $ | 72,089.00 |
Audit Fees – Consists of fees for professional services necessary to perform an audit or review in accordance with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, including services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements (including services incurred with rendering an opinion under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) and quarterly reviews of the Company’s interim financial statements. Audit fees also include fees for services performed by Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company that are closely related to the audit and in many cases could only be provided by the Company’s independent registered public accountants. Such services include the issuance of consents related to the Company’s registration statements and capital raising activities, assistance with and review of other documents filed with the Commission and accounting advice on completed transactions.
Audit-Related Fees –– Audit-related fees, which we did not incur in fiscal 2007 and 2006, relate to professional services reasonably related to the performance of audit or review of financial statements by an independent audit firm.
Tax Fees – During fiscal 2007 and 2006, Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company performed certain tax compliance services.
All Other Fees – There were no professional services rendered by Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company that would be classified as other fees during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures - The Board of Directors, serving as the Company’s Audit Committee, has adopted a policy that requires advance approval of all audit, audit-related, tax services, and other services performed by the independent auditor. The policy provides for pre-approval by the Board of directors of specifically defined audit and non-audit services. Unless the specific service has been previously pre-approved with respect to that year, the Board must approve the permitted service before the independent auditor is engaged to perform it. The Board has delegated to Rudolf Hauke, our President and CEO, authority to approve permitted services.
In making its recommendations to ratify the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company as the Company’s independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, the Board has considered whether the services provided by Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company are compatible with maintaining the independence of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company.

PART I
ITEM 1: BUSINESS
Section 1.1 The Company
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 owns substantially all outstanding stock of Magnitude, Inc., an operating subsidiary. The 1% of Magnitude, Inc. not owned by the Company constitutes a minority interest which is valued at $0.
On August 16, 2007 the Company acquired all outstanding shares of Kiwibox Media, Inc.
The Company, Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media Inc. are separate legal entities, with Kiwibox Media, Inc. being a wholly owned subsidiary. The operations of the combined entity are currently comprised almost exclusively of the operations of Kiwibox Media, Inc.
Prior to the implementation of its strategic business plan in 2007, the Company’s primary product was an integrated suite of proprietary software modules previously marketed under the name ErgoEnterprise™. During the latter half of fiscal year 2006, 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. 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. On February 19, 2007, the Company, pursuant to its strategic plan to seek another business opportunity, signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the owners of a social networking website, to acquire their Kiwibox.com website and business, represented by Kiwibox Media, Inc. Pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, in August, 2007, Kiwibox Media, Inc. merged with and into Magnitude Operations, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc., in a “reverse merger” transaction. The three shareholders of Kiwibox Media, Inc. transferred and delivered all of the outstanding stock of Kiwibox Media, Inc. to Magnitude Operations, Inc. for cancellation and received in exchange shares of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. at closing. Also at closing and as a result of the merger, the separate legal existence of Magnitude Operations, Inc. ceased and Kiwibox Media, Inc. became the surviving corporation of the merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. Following the merger, Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. is planning to change its corporate name to “KiwiAge Enterprises, Inc.”
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 Seven Hundred Million (700,000,000) Common Shares, par value $.0001, and Three Million (3,000,000) Preferred Shares, par value $.001, of which at December 31, 2007, 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; Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) were designated as Series E Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001, and Forty-Three Thousand Six Hundred Ten (43,610) were designated Series G Senior Convertible Preferred Stock
As of December 31, 2007, there were outstanding 276,709,237 Common Shares, 1 Cumulative Preferred Share, and 129,500 Convertible Preferred Shares.

Item 1. Description of Business
Overview
Through our subsidiary, we own and operate “Kiwibox.com”, a social networking website for teens. Initially launched in 1999, Kiwibox.com is an online social networking website dedicated to teen users. With approximately 1.8 million registered members, the Kiwibox website provides online content in several categories, dedicated to teens, including entertainment, fashion and games. We have formed a user-based contingent of contributors that submit, review and comment upon content and articles from all over the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Kiwibox.com uses a “points” reward system for users, where a user may acquire elevated peer status and/or earn prizes which in many cases are provided by advertiser and/or sponsors. We are in the final stages of re-launching our website with increased functions, etc., scheduled for release in May, 2008.”
Our Prior Ergonomic Software Business
Early in 2007, Company management determined that it would be in the best interests of shareholders to acquire the new business opportunity presented by the Kiwibox social networking business. In making its decision, management considered the following factors:
· | The Company’s ergonomic software business had not generated sales and revenues sufficient to support its continuing 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; |
· | On April 10, 2007, pursuant to negotiations that began earlier in the year, we entered into a License and Client Software Support Agreement with Imminent Technologies, LLC ("IMT"), pursuant to the principal terms of which, we appointed IMT as a non-exclusive licensee/reseller for our suite of ergonomic software products (the "Software"), appointing IMT as our exclusive agent to provide support services to our current customers with service contracts. The Agreement permits IMT to resell and sublicense the Software worldwide at prices determined exclusively by IMT. IMT will pay us a royalty payment equal to 10% of the gross revenues in excess of $200,000 earned from the sale of the Software during each year of the Agreement. We agreed to pay IMT $20,000 to assist IMT in providing the customer support services in the commencement and transition period. The Agreement will automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless terminated by a party. |
The Kiwibox Acquisition
On August 16, 2007, we acquired Kiwibox Media, Inc. through a reverse merger between Kiwibox and our wholly owned acquisition subsidiary. As a result of the merger, Kiwibox became our wholly owned subsidiary.
At the Kiwibox closing, we (1) issued an aggregate 30,000,000 restricted common shares to the three Kiwibox shareholders, (2) issued an aggregate 43,610 shares of our Senior Convertible Series G Preferred stock to these principals, (3) paid an aggregate $150,000 in cash to these Kiwibox principals, less a $7,000 investment banking fee paid to Southridge Investment Group, and (4) signed two-year employment agreements with Messrs. Lin Dai, Ivan Tumanov and Michael Howard, the three Kiwibox shareholders, all pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated February 19, 2007, and amendments thereto, and as most recently modified by Amendment No. 6 between the parties on February 28, 2008. The 43,610 Series G Preferred Shares issued to the Kiwibox principals at closing have an aggregate conversion value of $500,000 (the “Conversion Value”), which $500,000 Conversion Value is convertible into our common shares by dividing it by the “Market Price”, representing the average price of our common stock during the twenty (20) successive trading days immediately preceding the second anniversary of the agreement. At the closing, the Company agreed to issue 750,000 of the Kiwibox shareholders’ restricted common shares to Southridge Investment Group, LLC as part of its fee.

As previously reported on our prior Form 8-K current report of August 2, 2007, the Swiss investment firm, Tell Capital AG, issued its commitment to subscribe to purchase an aggregate $3,000,000 of Company equity securities. This commitment provided us with the funds to close the Kiwibox acquisition.
As of the date of this report, Tell Capital AG and its assignees have invested $1,800,000. We used these subscription proceeds to pay the Kiwibox principals $150,000 due under our original agreement and to fund the Kiwibox business development and our corporate operating expenses. Most of the scheduled subscription payments from Tell Capital AG were late and we negotiated a series of six amendments and two standstill agreements with the Kiwibox principals. As a result of these amendments, we made $250,000 in cash payments to the Kiwibox principals and still owe them approximately 30,000,000 common shares and a payment against a corporate promissory note in the principal amount of $225,000 due June 15, 2008. On March 7, 2008, we closed on a private placement with 10 accredited investors and received subscription proceeds of $1,500,000. As a result, we met the last funding requirements for the acquisition and all conditions, including the Kiwibox right of rescission, terminated.
At the Kiwibox closing, we signed and delivered employment agreements with the three Kiwibox principals, covering a two year term and agreed to pay each Kiwibox Shareholder an annual base salary of $150,000. In addition, we agreed to pay each an annual bonus if certain business goals are met: a $100,000 bonus if the Kiwi Business has received no less than an average 215,000 “Unique Visitors” during either the 10th, 11th or 12th month of the first year of the term or achieved no less than $316,000 in gross revenues within the 12 moth period following the Closing. Alternatively, we agreed to pay each a $50,000 bonus if the Kiwi Business has received at least an average 175,000 but less than an average 215,000 “Unique Visitors” during either the 10th, 11th or 12th month of the first year of the term or at least $237,000 in gross revenues but less than $316,000 within the 12 moth period following the Closing. A “Unique Visitor” is a person who visits a Kiwibox website during any month during the term. For the second year of their employment agreements, we agreed to pay each a $100,000 bonus if the Kiwi Business has received no less than an average 550,000 Unique Visitors during either the 22nd, 23rd or 24th month of the second year of the term or attained $1,961,000 in gross revenues, or a bonus of $50,000 each if the Kiwi Business has received at least an average 415,000 but less than an average 550,000 Unique Visitors during either the 22nd, 23rd or 24th month of the second year of the term or attained at least $1,500,000 in gross revenues but less than $1,961,000. Each Kiwibox Shareholder received a stock option to purchase up to 7,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.05 per share which shall vest and be exercisable by the Kiwibox Shareholders, 50% on the first anniversary date of the Closing, 25% 18 months after the Closing and 25% on the second anniversary of the Closing. Each was issued, as well, under the terms of their employment agreements, a performance stock option to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, 1,500,000 of which options shall vest and be exercisable by the Kiwibox Shareholders after the first anniversary date of the Closing if the Kiwi Business has received no less than an average 215,000 Unique Visitors during either the 10th, 11th or 12th month of the first year of the term or achieved $316,000 in gross revenues during the first year, and the balance, or 1,500,000 options shall vest and be exercisable by the Kiwibox Shareholders after the second anniversary date of the Closing if the Kiwi Business has received at least an average 550,000 Unique Visitors during either the 22nd, 23rd or 24th month of the second year of the term or achieved $1,961,000 in gross revenues during the second year of the agreements. The exercise prices for these stock options is $.05 per share.

History
Kiwibox.com was founded in 1999 by 3 students attending Carnegie Mellon University. Kiwibox.com was built as an online destination for teens, combining editorial content with interactive community features. Kiwibox.com produces a “For Teen by Teens” Online Magazine, and currently has over one-thousand (1,000) active member contributors and editors. This user generated entertainment content is managed though a proprietary Kiwibox.com editorial system that is unique to Kiwibox.com, and is highly acclaimed by the user base. Acceptance of this model was demonstrated through through exponential membership growth during the first two years of operations. This membership growth required better access to entertainment and content sources, advertisers, and business partners, thus in 2000 Kiwibox relocated from Pittsburgh to New York City. When the 2001 “dot-com” bubble burst in 2001 many Internet advertising agencies as well as Kiwibox competitors were forced out of business. In response Kiwibox.com reduced its operations and focused on maintaining and growing its membership community, while establishing itself as a highly trusted and safe teen destination.. As the Internet Advertising industry recovered over the next 6 years, Kiwibox.com steadily grew its registered membership base to 1.8 million.
Kiwibox Operations
In the United States alone the teenage population is approximately 44 million, as estimated by the US Census Bureau, and they spent over $189 billion in 2006 according to eMarketer. Spending by and on teens is projected to grow to 208 billion by 2011. To reach teens online, marketers will increasingly look to social networks. According to eMarekter, advertising on social networking websites is projected to be over $2 billion for 2008 and to grow to over $4 billion by 2011. Today’s teenagers are the first generation to grow up using the Internet for everything from entertainment and information, to shopping and communication. In fact, according to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, 83 percent of U.S. teenagers are online. And although there are a number of websites that have targeted this large marketplace no one site has yet to dominate it. We will strive through technology and content enhancements to make the Kiwibox.com website one of the most exciting teenage, multimedia sites available
Re-launch of our Website “2.0”
Kiwibox.com has been one of the pioneer web sites combining content and community features for teens. Over the past several years, new web technologies have emerged offering more flexibility and scalability for the creation and management of content, as well as a better user interface and experience. Such a collection of web technology is generally referred to as “Web 2.0 technology”. Kiwibox.com is in the process of redesigning the entire site to incorporate new software and features with a complete new interface and design. The re-launch of “Kiwibox 2.0” website is expected in April, 2008, with major improvements in the following categories:
Articles and Content - User generated content, supplemented by an enhanced editorial staff is being condensed into 5 major categories: Music, Entertainment, Games, Body & Style, Life & Love. Utilizing Kiwibox.com’s proprietary editorial system content currently contributed by 1,000 teen writers will be expanded, as will the delivery of exclusive video and interactive content. through partnership agreements with major media companies.
Community Features - An improved user profile will provide better social networking functionality, increasing interaction between users on Kiwibox.com and other social networking website.
Points and Rewards - To drive membership Kiwibox.com is expanding the number of activities for its members to earn points and rewards. Through increased partnership and sponsor programs Kiwibox.com is expanding its selection of member prizes and rewards.
Games - Kiwibox is expanding its partnerships with online game sites and online game developers, and will provide fresh new ways for users to compete and interact with one another, while providing our sponsors an enhanced platform to integrate their marketing message and advertising campaigns.

Potential Revenue Streams
Currently we generate the majority of our revenue from advertising/sponsorships. Although we anticipate average web advertising CPM (click per thousand) rates to remain steady in 2008, significant revenue growth is expected as the revitalized site is launched, and membership activity increases. New revenues, in the form of Mobile advertising will increase Kiwibox’s revenue base in 2008. Kiwibox Mobile, with an anticipated launch in Q2 2008, will include both text messaging services (SMS) and a Kiwibox mobile internet experience (WAP) Mobile services demand higher advertising revenue rates (CPM’s) than traditional website CPM’s, thus we expect Mobile revenues to significantly contribute to Kiwibox.com’s overall revenue stream.
Marketing Strategy
Our website is being constructed to promote safe and easy interactivity between the teen audience while providing a quality teen magazine. To date, we have devoted our resources to developing our teen magazine. Our new website will provide a platform for simple social interaction and connectivity among our teen members who will be able to share information and provide a portal for their social communication. The 2006 Nielsen Net Ratings have calculated that the top ten networking sites have grown approximately 47% and are expected to continue to grow at that rate for some time. The sites serve an estimated audience of approximately 68.8 million people, a large segment of the United States population.
We expect to spend approximately $300,000 on marketing in Q3 and Q4 of 2008, focusing on both web user acquisition as well as mobile user acquisition. Furthermore, the strategic placement of widgets and web apps on major competitor websites will further drive potential members to Kiwibox.com. Once potential new users reach Kiwibox via designated landing pages, they will be greeted with customized content, contests and features of their preference, along with points and incentives for them to join. New viral tools will be available to existing members to increase referrals and generate significant membership growth via word-of-mouth. We expect conversion and retention rate to significantly increase starting in Q3, with the goal to lower the per member acquisition cost by 50% or more by the end of 2008.
We will also pursue partnerships with smaller web sites with similar or complementary demographic and establish an affiliate network. Through co-marketing programs and revenue share advertising deals, we look to increase our brand exposure to potential members on affiliate sites, as well as further identifying potential web sites as acquisition targets.
Safety
Kiwibox.com has developed a proprietary monitoring model which assists in maintaining a safe site for our member base, combining both technology based systems and user authority interaction. Over the last 8 years our team have selected trusted long term members to become “site monitors” known on the Kiwibox.com site as “KiwiHelpers”. These KiwiHelpers utilize internal Kiwibox provided tools to remove inappropriate content as needed, guide and warn users, and continually scan the site for unsafe content or user activity.

Competition
Our primary competitors are other youth targeted online social networks, including Facebook.com, MyYearbook.com, and MySpace.com. MySpace and Facebook are widely considered the industry leaders, however, recently statistics and strategic announcements from both companies has indicated a shift in the target audience from teens and college students to a much broader and more adult demographic. We plan to distinguish ourselves by focusing on the teen users and offering superior and exclusive content for this audience.
Secondary competitors include teen content providers and entertainment bloggers such as Seventeen.com, PerezHilton.com, etc. These sites generate unique and engaging content that the teen audience enjoys and attracts a dedicated following. However, these teen content provider sites offer none or very limited social networking features. We plan on establishing partnerships and co-marketing agreements with certain strategic companies in this category, as well as utilizing our technology tools to aggregate content found on other popular teen sites.
Intellectual Property
Except for our patent covering our ErgoSentry software product, we currently do not own any other patents, trademarks, or license of any kind. However, the copyright on the Kiwibox.com web and mobile software and other related intellectual property rights are important assets. We hold the Internet domain names Kiwibox.com, Kiwibox.net, Kiwibox.org, Kiwibox.info, Kiwibox.tv, Kiwibox.us, Kiwibox.mobi, Kiwibox.cn, and Kiwibox.com.cn. Furthermore, for our mobile offerings, we hold the SMS short code 45494 (4KIWI) and related Internet domain names 4Kiwi.com, ForKiwi.com, and FourKiwi.com.
Governmental Regulations
Our Kiwibox website operations are subject to state, federal and international laws, rules and regulations that cover on-line business, privacy policies, consumer protection and product marketing. The Kiwibox website business is subject to state, federal and international laws, rules and regulations applicable to online commerce, including user privacy policies, product pricing policies, website content and general consumer protection laws. Various laws, rules and regulations have been adopted, and probably will be adopted in the future, that apply to the Internet, including available online content, privacy concerns, online marketing, “spam” and unsolicited commercial email, taxation issues, and regulations that effect and monitor the quality of products and services.
A portion of these laws, rules and regulations that concern the Internet and its uses have been only recently adopted. Courts and administrative agencies have not yet fully interpreted these legal requirements as to their application and scope. Accordingly, our Kiwibox website business is subject to the uncertainties of future interpretations and application of these legal requirements. The application and interpretation of these legal requirements or the passage of new and/or revised laws, rules and regulations could reduce the demand for Kiwibox website services, increase its operational costs, and expose it to potential liability. Any such events could have a material adverse effect upon our Kiwibox website business and financial condition. Our failure, or that of our business partners, to accurately predict and anticipate the interpretation or application of these laws, rules and regulations, whether now in force or adopted in the future, could have a detrimental impact on our operations, create negative publicity for us and expose us to potential liability.
State and federal agencies are applying consumer protection laws to regulate the on-line use, collection and dissemination of personal information and website content. These laws require us to implement programs to notify our website users of our privacy and security programs. One of the anticipated features of our new Kiwibox website, scheduled for launch in April, 2008, will permit our members to post their personal information on their membership pages and exchange this information with others. These new website networking functions require that we also provide our members with direct access to their personal information and the ability to edit, correct or delete part or all of their personal information. Consumer protection laws will require us to obtain the consent of our website users if we want to collect and use certain portions of their personal information.
The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) is the lead federal agency monitoring Internet websites and their content. State attorneys general have become active monitors of the Internet at the local State level. These governmental bodies may investigate or bring enforcement actions against website operators they deem in violation of applicable consumer protection laws. We believe that our Kiwibox website’s collection and dissemination of information programs, including our privacy policies, do and will continue to comply with existing laws. However, a decision by a federal or state agency that any of our Kiwibox website’s business practices do not meet applicable legal standards could result in liability and have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Employees
Currently, we have one part-time and 12 full-time employees. We expect to hire an additional 2 or 3 full-time persons during 2008.
Risks Related to Our Business
Early Stage Company; Generation of Revenues
Kiwibox can be considered an early stage company and investors can not reasonably assume that we will ever be profitable. As a early stage company, we are likely to continue to have financial difficulties for the foreseeable future. We may successfully re-develop our website operations and generate additional revenues but still be unable to achieve profitability. Kiwibox has devoted substantial funds to develop its new website, scheduled for launch in April, 2008, but investors should be aware that there can be no assurance that Kiwibox will ever achieve revenues that exceed its operational costs. We may not obtain the funding necessary to provide Kiwibox with the working capital necessary to continue to develop and market its website. Moreover, the Kiwibox.com website may not receive sufficient internet traffic to increase revenues or achieve profitability.
Doubt Raised About our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.
Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we will remain a going concern and that our assets will increase and that we will satisfy our liabilities in the normal course of our business. Kiwibox has had minimal revenues and has incurred operating losses during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Our independent auditors have concluded, these factors create an uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent, among other factors, on our continued success in raising capital.
Need for Additional Capital; Long-Term Viability of Company
Our Kiwibox website business’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the degree to which teenagers use the kiwibox.com Website and the degree to which Kiwibox is able to generate revenues from users of its site. The proceeds of our recent private placement securities offerings, which most recently raised a total of $1,500,000, will not enable our Kiwibox business to achieve a profitable level of operations before additional financing becomes necessary. As we will require additional financing, there is no assurance that such funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we elect to sell equity to raise additional funds, there is no assurance that additional equity can be sold on terms favorable to the Company and to its existing shareholders, with the result that existing shareholders may incur substantial dilution. Without the necessary funding, we may be required to delay, reduce or terminate some or all of our Kiwibox website business or our efforts to obtain additional funding.
No Formal Feasibility and Market Research Plan
We have collected data and statistics concerning the potential market for the Kiwibox.com website and the costs of marketing our services. We have relied principally on the judgment and conclusions of our management, based on their respective knowledge and experiences. We have not performed any formal marketing study that confirms any absolute demand for the services we will provide on our new Kiwibox.com website, scheduled for launch in April, 2008.
9
Unpredictability of Future Revenues; Potential Downturns in Operating Results
Due to Kiwibox’s minimal revenues since inception and the uncertainty of revenues that may be generated through potential partners and alliances, we are currently unable to forecast our future revenues with accuracy. Our current and future operational costs are based primarily on our marketing and website development plans and our estimates of future revenues. Our potential advertising and joint marketing sales results are difficult are difficult to forecast at this stage. It will be difficult for us to realign our operational expenses should future revenue forecasts not materialize which would require that we curtail or cease certain aspects of our operations. Accordingly, if our future revenues are insufficient to fund our planned operations, such a shortfall could have an immediate adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
We may experience cyclical downturns in our future operating results due to various factors, many of which are beyond our control. Some of the factors that could impact our operating results include: (a) our ability to attract and retain new members to our Kiwibox.com website; (b) new developments by our competitor websites; (c) advertising and product price competition; (d) our ability to develop enhancements to our website, upgrade its internet functionality and services; (e) our ability to attract and retain necessary personnel; (f) difficulties with our software or hardware equipment, including any interruptions in the development and maintenance of our internet equipment and related infrastructure systems related to our Kiwibox.com website; (g) the future impact of governmental rules, regulations and laws, and; (h) general economic conditions.
Website and Service Development Risks
The development of our new Kiwibox.com website is a highly complex technical process that has already experienced significant delays. Although scheduled to launch in April, 2008, we may experience additional problems that could further delay the public availability of our new Kiwibox.com website. Following the launch of our website, we will be required to add enhancements and services in the future to remain competitive in our teen marketplace. If we are unable to develop and introduce new services or enhancements to our website in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Limited Senior Management Team; Potential Problems with Expanding Personnel
We have a limited number of senior management personnel, planning, developing and managing our website business. We are in the process of expanding our website operations to accommodate potential growth in our membership and marketplace. We will experience significant pressure on our financial resources and management personnel as a result of the current expansion. In order to manage this expansion, we may be required to adopt new operating procedures, develop new advertising and marketing plans, financial controls and procedures and policies to supervise a growing employee population. We will also be required to attract, retain and properly administer the expansion of our employee population. Investors should be aware that we may not be able to adequately manage all of these new developments in our expansion, in which case our operations, business prospects, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Competition
Our website business in the teen marketplace is highly competitive. We can give no assurances that our website business will effectively compete with the more established teen websites currently operating in this marketplace.
Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources, established brand names and significantly larger membership and customer bases and we expect our competition to only intensify.
10
Dependence on Management
Kiwibox.com website’s success will be substantially dependent on the continued services and on the performance of our current senior management. We will also be dependent upon our ability to retain and incentivize our management team. The loss of services of any one or more of our senior management team could have a material adverse affect on our operating results, business prospects and financial condition.
Our success will be dependent, in large part, on the services of our principal officers and employees. The loss of any of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations. We do not maintain “key-man” life insurance policies on the lives of our officers to compensate us in the event of their deaths.
Except for issues that require shareholder approval, investors should be aware that they will have no vote on our operations, business developments or any management issues, including expansion, website enhancements or personnel decisions. You should not invest in our company unless you understand that all business and operational decisions are made by our management.
We expect to spend significant financial and management resources in our efforts to comply with the internal control attestation provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 beginning with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, our management will be required to attest to the adequacy of our internal controls and procedures in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our management has limited experience in complying with Section 404. In order to prepare our management and to implement additional controls and/or procedures, if necessary, to be compliant with these new legal standards, we have retained an outside accounting and financial firm to audit the internal controls and procedures we currently have in place. There is a possibility, therefore, that we will be required to make substantial changes to our internal controls in order for our management to be able to attest that our internal controls are effective as of December 31, 2008. If our management is unable to attest that our internal controls are effective as of December 31, 2008, the price of our common stock may be adversely affected.
Creation of Brand Awareness
It will be crucial to the economic success of our Kiwibox.com website that we promote and establish brand awareness. A successful brand awareness campaign will tend to decrease our marketing expenses over time. If we are not able to adequately establish our brand in our marketplace, our operating results, market growth and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Potential for Defects in our Products and Services
Our Kiwibox.com website, its functionality, product offerings and services may contain defects or problems yet undetected. Such defects or problems could delay the launch of our new Kiwibox.com website, generate negative public comment and inhibit marketplace acceptance, any one or more of which could have a material adverse affect on our operating results and financial condition.
Penny Stock Regulation
11
Absence of Dividends
We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and we are not likely to do so in the foreseeable future. We presently intend to retain earnings for use in growing our business. We may pay for some of our future expansion through debt financing, in which case lenders traditionally prohibit the payment of any such dividends. Investors should be aware, therefore, that the Company intends to re-invest any earnings back into our business for the foreseeable future and that they should have no expectations of receiving any dividends on the common shares they may purchase.
ITEM 2. Description of Property
We maintain our principal corporate offices at 1250 Route 28, Suite 309, Branchburg, New Jersey. We lease an approximate 850 square feet of office space pursuant to the terms of a 3-year lease we signed on September 1, 2006, which we may terminate upon notice. We pay a base rental payment of $1,103 per month plus utility/cam/property tax charges of approximately $600 per month, with nominal annual increases. In addition, we maintain offices for our Kiwibox operations at 330 W. 38th Street, Suite #1602, New York, New York 10018, consisting of approximately 1,600 square feet.

This conversion rate is at $.05 per unit, with each unit comprised of one restricted common share and one 5-year warrant, exercisable at $.07, resulting in the issue of 8,091,315 restricted common shares and an equal number of warrants to these three individuals.
4. We also issued the following shares of restricted common stock:

Background
On August 16, 2007, we closed on our acquisition of Kiwibox Media, Inc., a business that had developed a social networking website dedicated to teenagers. As a result of this acquisition, accomplished through a reverse merger, Kiwibox Media, Inc. became our wholly owned subsidiary. Prior to this acquisition, we entered into a License and Client Software Support Agreement with Imminent Technologies, LLC on April 10, 2007, licensing our prior business’ suite of ergonomic software products and thereby, effectively terminating our involvement in the ergonomic software business, all as disclosed in the current report on Form 8-K we filed on April 11, 2007.
The Kiwibox Closing - August 16, 2007.
On August 16, 2007, we closed our acquisition of Kiwibox Media, Inc. through a reverse merger between Kiwibox and our wholly owned acquisition subsidiary. As a result of the merger, Kiwibox became our wholly owned subsidiary. At the Kiwibox closing, we (1) issued an aggregate 30,000,000 restricted common shares to the three Kiwibox shareholders, (2) issued an aggregate 43,610 shares of our Senior Convertible Series G Preferred stock to these principals, (3) paid an aggregate $150,000 in cash to these Kiwibox principals, less a $7,000 investment banking fee paid to Southridge Investment Group, and (4) signed two-year employment agreements with Messrs. Lin Dai, Ivan Tumanov and Michael Howard, the three Kiwibox shareholders, all pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated February 19, 2007, and amendments thereto, and as most recently modified by Amendment No. 6 between the parties on February 28, 2008. The 43,610 Series G Preferred Shares issued to the Kiwibox principals at closing have an aggregate conversion value of $500,000 (the “Conversion Value”), which $500,000 Conversion Value is convertible into our common shares by dividing it by the “Market Price” of our common stock during the twenty (20) successive trading days immediately preceding the second anniversary of the agreement. At the closing, the Company promised to issue 750,000 of the KiwiBox shareholders’ restricted common shares to Southridge Investment Group, LLC as part of its fee. Based upon our original Agreement and Plan of Reorganization of February 2007, we committed to invest $3.5 Million in the Kiwibox business. This commitment was based upon our communications with a Swiss based shareholder and investor in our Company, Tell Capital AG, who on July 26, 2007, sent us a commitment to invest $3 million of equity in our Company. Based upon Tell Capital’s commitment, we executed Amendment No. 3 to our original February, 2007 agreement with Kiwibox, committing to invest $3.5 million in various tranches, corresponding to the investment schedule set forth in the Tell Capital commitment, as well as agreeing to pay 60,000 restricted common shares for each day any of our scheduled investment tranches were late. Because of the delays in the receipt of the equity investments from Tell Capital, scheduled through November 1, 2007, our corresponding investment commitments to the Kiwibox business were also late. The continuing lateness of our investment commitments to the Kiwibox business resulted in further amendments to our Kiwibox agreement and required us to make a $100,000 penalty payment to the Kiwibox shareholders in 2007. The final modification to our original agreement, Amendment No. 6, executed on February 28, 2008, provided that if we raised $1.5 million in equity on or before March 7, 2008 and dedicated $700,000 of that amount to the Kiwibox business, made another penalty payment of $150,000 and delivered our corporate note in the principal amount of $225,000 to the Kiwibox shareholders, all rescission rights held by the Kiwibox shareholders and any further obligations to invest in the Kiwibox business would terminate. On March 7, 2008, we received $1.5 Million in subscription proceeds from investors, from which proceeds we dedicated $700,000 to the Kiwibox business, made the $150,000 penalty payment to the Kiwibox shareholders and delivered to them our $225,000 corporate note. Accordingly, the Kiwibox shareholders’ rights of rescission and our obligation to invest further funds in the Kiwibox business terminated. We have paid the Kiwibox shareholders $250,000 in cash, delivered to them our $225,000 corporate note, due June 15, 2008, and must issue to them approximately 30,000,000 restricted common shares resulting from the series of delays in meeting our commitments to invest funds into the Kiwibox business.
We signed and delivered two-year employment agreements with the three Kiwibox Shareholders at the closing. These employment agreements pay each Kiwibox Shareholder an annual base salary of $150,000 and an annual bonus if certain business goals are met. Each Kiwibox Shareholder received a stock option to purchase up to 7,500,000 shares of our common stock which vests over time as well as a performance stock option to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, vesting upon the attainment of certain business goals. All of these stock options are exercisable at $.05 per share.

Plan of Operations
Since our acquisition of Kiwibox, we have been developing a new version of our website. Scheduled to launch in April, 2008, our new Kiwibox.com website contains significant enhancements over the current website. Our new website operations will include the following:
Increase in our editorial staff - we have hired additional editorial staff persons to augment and expand our approximate 1,000 volunteer teen writers to provide more coverage in our content categories of music, entertainment, games, body & style and life & love;
Enhanced Community Features - our new website will employ advanced social networking functionality that will permit increased interaction between our website and provide interface between our Kiwibox.com website and other social networking website.
More Points and Rewards - we are expanding the number of activities for our members to earn points and rewards. We expect this increase, as well as the new offering of virtual prizes, will attract new members to our website.
Expansion of our Game Offerings - we are expanding our partnerships with online game sites and online game developers, providing new interactivity between our users and a better platform for sponsors to integrate their marketing message and advertising campaigns.
In addition to the above features, we expect to continue to develop and enhance our user options and interface technology on our Kiwibox.com website.
Results of Operations for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2006.
The Company had no material revenues during 2007. Its former ergonomic software - based business had been discontinued and the acquisition of Kiwibox Media Inc. with its potentially significant revenues took place only in August 2007 and, by year-end, had not yet matured to a stage where significant revenues could be generated. For the year ended December 31, 2007, total revenues amounted to $29,745 compared to $47,701 in 2006. Revenues consisted almost entirely of $25,493 from the Kiwibox operations.
Gross profits amounted to $29,745, which equates revenues in the absence of directly attributable cost of goods sold. This contrasts to 2006 when in the course of the Company pursuing it former software business, gross profits were burdened with a fixed charge for amortization of certain proprietary software assets. After deducting selling -, research -, and general and administrative expenses of $2,477,577 compared to the $3,619,072 recorded in 2006, the Company realized an operating loss of $2,447,832 compared to an operating loss of $3,716,867 in 2006. $375,488 of such SG&A expenses were attributable to the cost of funding the operations of the new Kiwibox business and $1,594,778 were incurred in Magnitude. The decrease in these expenses from the $3,619.072 incurred in the prior year is primarily due lesser compensation expenses for salaries and stock-based consultancy fees. These savings were achieved through staff reductions and lesser dependency on outside services. The major items making up non-operating income and expenses included approximately $897,000 interest and amortization of financing expenses, mostly related to the acquisition of Kiwibox Media, Inc. During 2006, such expenses totaled approximately $327,000. In addition, we incurred a charge of approximately $559,000 in connection with the change in fair value of a derivative liabilities, compared to a gain of approximately $295,000 in 2006. The year concluded with a net loss of $3,881,652. After accounting for dividends accrued and discounts on outstanding preferred stock which totaled $53,481 the net loss applicable to common shareholders was $3,935,133 or $0.02 per share, compared to a loss of $4,473,726 or $0.03 per share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our business with new debt and equity capital since our cash flow is insufficient to provide the working capital necessary to fund our operations. We recorded $1,800,000 in cash from subscriptions for new equity capital from accredited private investors during 2007. In addition, we received $472,000 from short-term loans.
Our deficit in working capital amounted to $5,826,532 at December 31, 2007, as compared to $2,553,451 at December 31, 2006. Stockholders’ equity showed an impairment of $3,095,576 at the end of the year, compared to an impairment of $2,505,485 at the beginning of the year. The negative cash flow from operations totaled $1,261,783 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 primarily foreign investors. Details of such transactions can be found in the “Changes and Issuance of Securities” sections in the Company’s quarterly reports on Forms 10-QSB during the year, as well as in the pertinent section of this report. During 2007, the Company filed several amendments to its 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 prior financing transactions.
We have no bank debt and aside from trade payables and accruals, our indebtedness at December 31, 2007, consisted of certain notes and loans aggregating approximately $450,000. The position “Obligations to be settled in stock” of $1,622,921 represents, the value of stock to be issued under the before mentioned equity subscriptions, and of stock to be issued to the former principals of Kiwibox Media, Inc. as well as stock to be issued to certain consultants (see Financial Footnote Item “Obligations to be Settled in Stock”). Current liabilities also include $376,743 accrued 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.
Our current cash reserves and net cash flow from operations expected during the near future will be insufficient to fund our website development, operations and marketing plan over the next twelve months. We expect to fund these requirements with further investments in form of debt or equity capital, targeted for the second quarter of 2008. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to identify a financing source or sources and if we do, whether the terms of such financing will be acceptable or commercially reasonable.
The major investor in our stock was Tell Capital AG and its assignees, who have invested $1,675,000 in our operations through December 31, 2007, pursuant to its commitment of July 26, 2007, to invest a total of $3 million on or before November 1, 2007. During this same period, Tell Capital AG indicated its further interest to invest a second $3 million of equity into our operations in early 2008. Because Tell Capital AG’s initial $3 million investment was not timely and due to the fact that the total $3 million was not received, our commitments to fund the Kiwibox business were correspondingly late. Because of this tardiness in meeting our Kiwibox funding commitments, we paid the Kiwibox Shareholders penalty cash payments of $250,000 and delivered our promissory note for $225,000 due June 15, 2008. We also owe a penalty of approximately 30,000,000 common shares to the Kiwibox Shareholders due to the partial investment amount actually received and the delays in our receipt of these funds. Although we have received an additional $110,000 of investment from Tell Capital AG and received $1,500,000 of subscription proceeds from additional investments in 2008, we will need the approximate $3 million of additional investment in order to fund our business plan through the next 12 months. See “Subsequent Event” below.
Absent the receipt of this additional $3 million funding, our website development, results of operations and financial condition could be subject to material adverse consequences. There can be no assurance in such a case that we could find alternative funding for the working capital required to finance on-going operations. If we failed in these efforts, either by not receiving the investment commitments from Tell Capital AG or an alternative source, or we do not receive such funds in a timely manner, our management may be forced to effect severe cut-backs in our operations.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141 (revised 2007) Business Combinations. This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the Statement.
SFAS No. 141 (revised) is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. 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 February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" including and amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 with respect to improvement of financial reporting of certain investments in debt and equity securities. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board's long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments.
SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the Company's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. 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.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 160 Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements as an amendment to ARB No. 51. This Statement is expected to improve the relevance, comparability and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. 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.

Subsequent Events - Fiscal Year 2008
On January 28, 2008, we received a $110,000 investment from Tell Capital AG and on March 7, 2008, an additional $1,500,000 in subscription proceeds from 10 accredited foreign and domestic investors. We committed to issue 2,200,000 units to Tell Capital AG for its investment, at the subscription price of $.05 per unit, with each unit comprised of one restricted common share and one five-year warrant, exercisable at $.07 per share. The Company committed to issue to the March 7th investors an aggregate 50,000,000 restricted common shares and 50,000,000 common stock purchase warrants at the subscription price of $.02 per common share and $.01 per warrant. The warrants are exercisable anytime during their 5 year exercise period at the exercise price of $.05 per warrant with provisions for cashless exercise. The receipt of these private offering proceeds was disclosed in our current report on Form 8-K filed on March 7, 2008.
Based upon our original Agreement and Plan of Reorganization of February 2007, we committed to invest $3.5 Million in the Kiwibox business. This commitment was based upon our communications with a Swiss based shareholder and investor in our Company, Tell Capital AG, who on July 26, 2007, sent us a commitment to invest $3 million of equity in our Company. Based upon Tell Capital’s commitment, we executed Amendment No. 3 to our original February, 2007 agreement with Kiwibox, committing to invest $3.5 million in various tranches, corresponding to the investment schedule set forth in the Tell Capital commitment, as well as agreeing to pay 60,000 restricted common shares for each day any of our scheduled investment tranches were late. Because of the delays in the receipt of the equity investments from Tell Capital, scheduled through November 1, 2007, our corresponding investment commitments to the Kiwibox business were also late. The continuing lateness of our investment commitments to the Kiwibox business resulted in further amendments to our Kiwibox agreement and required us to make a $100,000 penalty payment to the Kiwibox shareholders in 2007. The final modification to our original agreement, Amendment No. 6, executed on February 28, 2008, provided that if we raised $1.5 million in equity on or before March 7, 2008 and dedicated $700,000 of that amount to the Kiwibox business, made another penalty payment of $150,000 and delivered our corporate note in the principal amount of $225,000 to the Kiwibox shareholders, all rescission rights held by the Kiwibox shareholders and any further obligations to invest in the Kiwibox business would terminate. On March 7, 2008, we received $1.5 Million in subscription proceeds from investors, from which proceeds we dedicated $700,000 to the Kiwibox business, made the $150,000 penalty payment to the Kiwibox shareholders and delivered to them our $225,000 corporate note. Accordingly, the Kiwibox shareholders’ rights of rescission and our obligation to invest further funds in the Kiwibox business terminated. We have paid the Kiwibox shareholders $250,000 in cash, delivered to them our $225,000 corporate note, due June 15, 2008, and must issue to them approximately 30,000,000 restricted common shares resulting from the series of delays in meeting our commitments to invest funds into the Kiwibox business.
On March 20, 2008, two shareholder/investors converted their Company promissory notes, representing an aggregate indebtedness of $350,000, into an aggregate 9,333,333 restricted common shares and an equal number of common stock purchase warrants.

ITEM 7: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The Company's Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements are attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There have been no changes in or disagreements with the Registrant’s independent auditors during the last two years.
ITEM 8A. MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company in accordance with as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the (i) effectiveness and efficiency of operations, (ii) reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Our internal controls framework is based on the criteria set forth in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management has conducted, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, supported by an outside accounting firm, an assessment of the effectiveness of the small business issuer’s internal control over financial reporting as of the year ended December 31, 2007. Management determined that at December 31, 2007, the Company had a material weakness because it did not have sufficient number of personnel with adequate knowledge, experience and training of U.S. GAAP commensurate with the Company’s reporting requirements. This material weakness required the identification of adjustments during the financial statement close process that have been recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Contributing to this lack of personnel resources was the Company’s acquisition of Kiwibox Media, Inc. on August 16, 2007 and the integration of this new subsidiary’s accounting and finance functions with those of the Company. Therefore, in order to present the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company hired a controller to be stationed at our Kiwibox Media’s offices and performed additional reviews and procedures. In addition, during the first quarter of 2008 the Company retained an outside accounting firm with technical and financial reporting expertise and intends to hire an additional accountant with substantial U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting experience to remediate the lack of qualified personnel.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
20
Other than described above, there have been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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.

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

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. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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, 2007 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, 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 owns substantially all outstanding stock of Magnitude, inc., its operating subsidiary. The 1% of Magnitude, Inc. not owned by the Company constitutes a minority interest which is valued at $0.
On August 16, 2007 the Company acquired all outstanding shares of Kiwibox Media, Inc.
The Company, Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media Inc. are separate legal entities, with Kiwibox Media, Inc. being a wholly owned subsidiary. The operations of the combined entity are currently comprised almost exclusively of the operations of Kiwibox Media, Inc.
Prior to the implementation of its strategic business plan in 2007, the Company’s primary product was an integrated suite of proprietary software modules previously marketed under the name ErgoEnterprise™. During the latter half of fiscal year 2006, 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. 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. On February 19, 2007, the Company, pursuant to its strategic plan to seek another business opportunity, signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the owners of a social networking website, to acquire their Kiwibox.com website and business, represented by Kiwibox Media, Inc. Pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, in August, 2007, Kiwibox Media, Inc. merged with and into Magnitude Operations, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc., in a “reverse merger” transaction. The three shareholders of Kiwibox Media, Inc. transferred and delivered all of the outstanding stock of Kiwibox Media, Inc. to Magnitude Operations, Inc. for cancellation and received in exchange shares of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. at closing. Also at closing and as a result of the merger, the separate legal existence of Magnitude Operations, Inc. ceased and Kiwibox Media, Inc. became the surviving corporation of the merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. is planning to change its corporate name to “KiwiAge Enterprises, Inc.”
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 wholly-owned subsidiaries Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media, Inc. The activities of the Company’s newly acquired subsidiary Kiwibox Media, Inc. are included in the financial statements for the period from August 16, 2007 (date of acquisition) to December 31, 2007. 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.
F-10
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 $6,717 and $387 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, 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 on the date of stock issuance or option/grant is used. 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-QSB 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.
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, 2007.

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.
The Company’s revenue from its KiwiBox Media, Inc. subsidiary derives from advertising on the KiwiBox website. Most contracts require the Company to deliver 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 or hosting revenue consists of an annual contract with clients to provide web-site hosting and assistance.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for its goodwill and intangible assets pursuant to SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Under SFAS 142, intangibles with definite lives continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or contractual terms. Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are evaluated at least annually for impairment by comparing the asset's estimated fair value with its carrying value, based on cash flow methodology.
The Company’s intangible assets including goodwill are subject to impairment testing in the event of certain indicators. Impairment in the carrying value of an asset is recognized whenever anticipated future cash flows (undiscounted) from an asset are estimated to be less than its carrying value. The amount of the impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value.
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.

GOODWILL
On August 16, 2007, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of KiwiBox Media, Inc. The total purchase price of $2,357,500 was calculated as follows: we issued 30,000,000 restricted common shares based on a total value of $1,500,000 determined by the lower of $0.05 per share and the average sales price of the Company’s common stock for the ten (10) successive trading days immediately preceding the closing, 43,610 shares of our Series G Preferred Stock worth $500,000 (conversion value - see PREFERRED STOCK), paid $300,000 in cash by year-end to the three KiwiBox owners, incurred $492,773 in penalty costs (described below) and incurred $57,500 in direct acquisition-related professional fees. Based on the initial Agreement and Plan of Reorganization from February 2007, the Company committed to investing $3.5 million for the operations of KiwiBox. Based on an amendment in July 2007, in the event that certain investment tranches were not made by their respective due dates, the Company agreed to issue 60,000 restricted shares to the former shareholders of KiwiBox for each day that the funds are in arrears. The company estimated the fair value of this pre-acquisition contingency as of the acquisition date based on the present value of the total expected liability at a discount rate of 5%, with an accreted value of $292,773 at December 31,2007. Pursuant to additional amendments entered into in December 2007, the Company agreed to pay $200,000 in cash penalties to the former shareholders of KiwiBox, $100,000 of which had been paid by year-end. In addition, the Company made advances on behalf of KiwiBox in the amount of $73,000 prior to the acquisition, which was eliminated in consolidation.
The excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired has been recorded as Goodwill in the amount of $2,663,751 as of December 31, 2007. Management expects the future discounted cash flow from Kiwibox’ operations to be equal or higher than the carrying amount of the goodwill.
OTHER ASSETS
Other assets include deposits of $3,224 and the unamortized portion of a non-compete agreement with a former officer of the Company in the amount of $7,890. Amortization for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $30,000 and $22,110, respectively.

NOTES PAYABLE
In June and July 2006 two shareholders loaned the Company $240,000 and $102,450 pursuant to which the Company issued promissory notes bearing interest at the rate of 8% per year. The notes were repayable on demand. On October 31, 2007, the holders were offered the option to convert the outstanding principal balances and accrued interest under the notes, representing aggregate debt of $378,864, into restricted Company securities at a conversion rate equal to the Company’s current “unit” investment terms.
Based on the terms of this conversion option, which was also granted to the outside director who held a 12% note described below, the Company recognized a debt discount for the relative fair value of the warrants of $150,712 and the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of $37,706, both amortized to interest expense upon conversion. The conversion rate was at $.05 per unit, with each unit comprised of one restricted common share and one 5-year warrant, exercisable at $.07, resulting in the issue of 7,577,284 restricted common shares and an equal number of warrants to these two individuals.
At December 31, 1999 the Company had $1,475,000 of notes outstanding related to a June 1995 private placement offering. During 2000 the holders of $1,450,000 worth of notes agreed to accept partial repayment of approximately 30% of the note balances and converted the remaining balances into common shares or convertible preferred shares. The total amount of non-converted notes outstanding at December 31, 2007 is $25,000. Attempts to locate the holder of this note, to settle this liability, have been unsuccessful. | $ | 25,000 | ||

The notes call for a loan origination fee of 10% of the principal amount and the issuance of restricted common shares at the rate of ten shares per amount loaned, both payable at maturity. At each maturity date, if unpaid, the holder was due an additional ten shares per amount outstanding as additional finance costs. At the option of the lenders, the outstanding principal balance, accrued interest and the origination fee may be converted into shares of the Company’s restricted common stock at a conversion rate that is the lower of $.05 per share or the investment rate utilized in any private placement consummated with the Company any time following the date of the note through maturity. During the year, the Company repaid $100,000 in notes, issued 440,000 shares for conversion of $22,000 in notes, and issued 3,074,031 shares to settle $153,702 in accrued finance costs and interest.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lease Agreement
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. We also rent approximately 1,600 square feet of office space in New York City for our Kiwibox operations at 330 W. 38th Street, Suite 1602. We pay monthly rent of $4.189.18 under the terms of a two year lease.
The Company paid $34,639 and $110,079, respectively, during 2007 and 2006, for rent expense.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
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.
During the fourth quarter in 2006 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 had the legal right to rescind their settlement agreements during the one year period following the consummation of these transactions. During 2007 the Company reached agreements with both individuals pursuant to which Messrs. Rudnik and Jagels received 2,000,000 and 3,150,000 shares, respectively, in settlement of any related claims.
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

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 a registration statement and when declared effective by the SEC, to cause a buyer to purchase these shares from Mr. Jagels for $75,000 prior to February 28, 2007. The Company facilitated this payment and the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice.
In January 2007 we issued warrants for 3,125,000 shares, exercisable at $0.05 per share, to the former president and chief executive officer, in connection with a settlement agreement reached during the fourth quarter in 2006
In May 2007 the Company reached agreement with the former president and chief executive officer to the effect that, in return for issuance of 2,000,000 shares, he would issue a waiver with respect to the Company’s obligation for filing a registration statement for certain securities previously issued to him by the Company.
During 2007 and 2006, one outside director of the Company who also serves as the Company’s general and securities counsel, was paid an aggregate $127,000 and $96,121, respectively, for legal services and is owed $288,184 at December 31, 2007.

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 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141 (revised 2007) Business Combinations. This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the Statement.
SFAS No. 141 (revised) is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. 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 February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" including and amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 with respect to improvement of financial reporting of certain investments in debt and equity securities. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board's long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments.

SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the Company's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. 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.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 160 Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements as an amendment to ARB No. 51. This Statement is expected to improve the relevance, comparability and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. 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.

MERGER WITH KIWIBOX MEDIA INC.
On August 16, 2007, the Company closed on its acquisition of Kiwibox Media, Inc. by means of a reverse merger with a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In exchange for the Kiwibox business, we (a) issued 30,000,000 restricted common shares and $500,000 worth (conversion value) of our Series G preferred stock to the three Kiwibox owners, and paid them $300,000 cash; (b) gave 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.
Based upon our original Agreement and Plan of Reorganization of February 2007, we committed to invest $3.5 Million in the Kiwibox business. This commitment was based upon our communications with a Swiss based shareholder and investor in our Company, Tell Capital AG, who on July 26, 2007, sent us a commitment to invest $3 million of equity in our Company. Based upon Tell Capital’s commitment, we executed Amendment No. 3 to our original February, 2007 agreement with Kiwibox, committing to invest $3.5 million in various tranches, corresponding to the investment schedule set forth in the Tell Capital commitment, as well as agreeing to pay 60,000 restricted common shares for each day any of our scheduled investment tranches were late. Because of the delays in the receipt of the equity investments from Tell Capital, scheduled through November 1, 2007, our corresponding investment commitments to the Kiwibox business were also late. The continuing lateness of our investment commitments to the Kiwibox business resulted in further amendments to our Kiwibox agreement and required us to make a $100,000 penalty payment to the Kiwibox shareholders in 2007. The final modification to our original agreement, Amendment No. 6, executed on February 28, 2008, provided that if we raised $1.5 million in equity on or before March 7, 2008 and dedicated $700,000 of that amount to the Kiwibox business, made another penalty payment of $150,000 and delivered our corporate note in the principal amount of $225,000 to the Kiwibox shareholders, all rescission rights held by the Kiwibox shareholders and any further obligations to invest in the Kiwibox business would terminate. On March 7, 2008, we received $1.5 Million in subscription proceeds from investors, from which proceeds we dedicated $700,000 to the Kiwibox business, made the $150,000 penalty payment to the Kiwibox shareholders and delivered to them our $225,000 corporate note. Accordingly, the Kiwibox shareholders’ rights of rescission and our obligation to invest further funds in the Kiwibox business terminated. We have paid the Kiwibox shareholders $250,000 in cash, delivered to them our $225,000 corporate note, due June 15, 2008, and must issue to them approximately 30,000,000 restricted common shares resulting from the series of delays in meeting our commitments to invest funds into the Kiwibox business. Due to these purchase price contingencies, we have not finalized the purchase price allocation as of December 31, 2007.

Based on the initial Agreement and Plan of Reorganization from February 2007, the Company committed to investing $3.5 million for the operations of KiwiBox. Based on an amendment in July 2007, in the event that certain investment tranches were not made by their respective due dates, the Company agreed to issue 60,000 restricted shares to the former shareholders of KiwiBox for each day that the funds are in arrears. The company estimated the fair value of this pre-acquisition contingency as of the acquisition date based on the present value of the total expected liability at a discount rate of 5%, with an accreted value of $292,773 at December 31, 2007. Pursuant to additional amendments entered into in December 2007, the Company agreed to pay $200,000 in cash penalties to the former shareholders of KiwiBox, $100,000 of which had been paid by year-end. In addition, the Company made advances on behalf of KiwiBox in the amount of $73,000 prior to the acquisition, which was eliminated in consolidation.
The excess of acquisition cost to date over the fair value of the net assets acquired from Kiwibox Media, Inc. has been capitalized as Goodwill on the Company’s balance sheet.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company operates in only one business segment - youth targeted online social networks - through its dedicated proprietary internet website.
Revenue is derived from subscriber and advertising charges for the Company’s interactive web site. Since the Company’s former business involving the sales and marketing of specialized ergonomic software did not contribute materially to this year’s revenues, the revenue amounts shown in the financial statements included herein are representative of the business of the Company as a whole as well as that of its Kiwibox subsidiary.
While the direct cost attributable to the acquisition of the Kiwibox entity has been capitalized as Goodwill, certain expenses incurred in connection with this transaction, primarily in the areas of legal and professional services and which are estimated to be in the vicinity of $350,000, are of a non-recurring nature.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 28, 2008, we received a $110,000 investment from Tell Capital AG and on March 7, 2008, an additional $1,500,000 in subscription proceeds from 10 accredited foreign and domestic investors. We committed to issue 2,200,000 units to Tell Capital AG for its investment, at the subscription price of $.05 per unit, with each unit comprised of one restricted common share and one five-year warrant, exercisable at $.07 per share.
The major investor in our stock during 2007 was Tell Capital AG and its assignees, who have invested $1,675,000 in our operations through December 31, 2007, pursuant to its commitment of July 26, 2007, to invest a total of $3 million on or before November 1, 2007. During this same period, Tell Capital AG indicated its further interest to invest a second $3 million of equity into our operations in early 2008. Because Tell Capital AG’s initial $3 million investment was not timely and due to the fact that the total $3 million was not received, our commitments to fund the Kiwibox business were correspondingly late. On February 28, 2008, we executed Amendment No. 6 to our original Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the Kiwibox shareholders. This amendment provided that if we raised no less than $1,500,000 in equity funding on or before March 7, 2008, and out of such funds, paid the Kiwibox shareholders $150,000, dedicated $700,000 to the Kiwibox business and deliveredapromissory note to the Kiwibox shareholders, we would have no further investment obligations into the Kiwibox business and all rescission rights in favor of the Kiwibox shareholders would terminate.
On March 7, 2008, the Company received $1,500,000 in equity subscriptions from 10 domestic and foreign accredited investor, satisfying the Company’s payment and investment obligations contained in Amendment No. 6. However, due to the partial investment amounts actually received and the delays in our receipt of these funds causing the Company to be late in meeting its investment commitments during the period September 1, 2007 through March 7, 2008, the Company paid the Kiwibox Shareholders penalty cash payments of $250,000, delivered a Company promissory note for $225,000 due June 15, 2008, and owe a penalty of approximately 30,000,000 common shares to the Kiwibox Shareholders.
In connection with the March 7, 2008 receipt of the $1,500,000 in subscription proceeds, the Company is committed to issue to the investors an aggregate 50,000,000 restricted common shares and 50,000,000 common stock purchase warrants at the subscription price of $.02 per common share and $.01 per warrant. The warrants are exercisable anytime during their 5 year exercise period at the exercise price of $.05 per warrant with provisions for cashless exercise. The receipt of these private offering proceeds was disclosed in our current report on Form 8-K filed on March 7, 2008.
On March 20, 2008, two shareholder/investors converted their Company promissory notes, representing an aggregate indebtedness of $350,000, into an aggregate 9,333,333 restricted common shares and an equal number of common stock purchase warrants.
On April 14, 2008, an investor agreed to convert his $100,000 deposit into 2,000,000 restricted common shares and 2,000,000 5-year warrants, exercisable at $.07 per share.

1. 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, Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media Inc. are separate legal entities, with Kiwibox Media, Inc. being a wholly owned subsidiary. The 1% of Magnitude, Inc. not owned by the Company constitutes a minority interest which is valued at $0. The operations of the combined entity are currently comprised almost exclusively of the operations of Kiwibox Media, Inc.
Business
Prior to the implementation of its strategic business plan in 2007, the Company’s primary product was an integrated suite of proprietary software modules previously marketed under the name ErgoEnterprise™. During the latter half of fiscal year 2006, 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. 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. On February 19, 2007, the Company, pursuant to its strategic plan to seek another business opportunity, signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the owners of a social networking website, to acquire their Kiwibox.com website and business, represented by Kiwibox Media, Inc. Pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, in August, 2007, Kiwibox Media, Inc. merged with and into Magnitude Operations, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc., in a “reverse merger” transaction. The three shareholders of Kiwibox Media, Inc. transferred and delivered all of the outstanding stock of Kiwibox Media, Inc. to Magnitude Operations, Inc. for cancellation and received in exchange shares of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. at closing. Also at closing and as a result of the merger, the separate legal existence of Magnitude Operations, Inc. ceased and Kiwibox Media, Inc. became the surviving corporation of the merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc.
Through our subsidiary, we own and operate “Kiwibox.com”, a social networking website for teens. Initially launched in 1999, Kiwibox.com is an online social networking website dedicated to teen users. The Kiwibox website provides online content in several categories, dedicated to teens, including entertainment, fashion and games. We have formed a user-based contingent of contributors that submit, review and comment upon content and articles from all over the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Kiwibox.com uses a “points” reward system for users, where a user may acquire elevated peer status and/or earn prizes which in many cases are provided by advertiser and/or sponsors. In August 2008 we had re-launched our website with increased functions.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required for annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2008.
In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2008, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, have been included.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media, Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Depreciation and Amortization
Property 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 3-10 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
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.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for its goodwill and intangible assets pursuant to SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Under SFAS 142, intangibles with definite lives continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or contractual terms. Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are evaluated at least annually for impairment by comparing the asset's estimated fair value with its carrying value, based on cash flow methodology.
The Company’s intangible assets including goodwill are subject to impairment testing in the event of certain indicators. Impairment in the carrying value of an asset is recognized whenever anticipated future cash flows (undiscounted) from an asset are estimated to be less than its carrying value. The amount of the impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
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 on the date of stock issuance or option/grant is used. The Company has determined the fair market value of the warrants/options issued under the Black-Scholes Pricing Model. The Company has 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)..
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.
Capitalization of Software /Website development costs
The Company capitalized outside-contracted development work in accordance with the guidelines published under EITF 00-2, Accounting for Web Site Development Costs, adopted during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Under EITF 00-2, costs incurred during the planning stage are expensed, while costs relating to software used to operate a web site or for developing initial graphics should be accounted for under SOP 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, unless a plan exists or is being developed to market the software externally. Under SOP 98-1, internal and external costs incurred to develop internal-use computer software during the application development stage should be capitalized. Costs to develop or obtain software that allows for access or conversion of old data by new systems should also be capitalized, excluding training costs. Fees incurred for web site hosting, which involve the payment of a specified, periodic fee to an Internet service provider in return for hosting the web site on its server(s) connected to the Internet, are expensed over the period of benefit, and included in cost of sales in the accompanying financial statements. A total of $0 and $64,650 was capitalized for web-site development work during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Under FASB Statement No. 157, a framework was established for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Since the number of shares issuable under the Company’s Series G convertible preferred stock was indeterminable during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company measured the fair value of warrants and options outstanding at September 30, 2008. The value at September 30, 2008 was determined to be $2,408,410, measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) under a Black-Scholes valuation method. The change in value during the nine months period was $(508,342) reported in the Statement of Operations under Other Income (Expense).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", which included and amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 with respect to improvement of financial reporting of certain investments in debt and equity securities. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The implementation of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
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-reporting 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.
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.
The Company’s revenue from its KiwiBox Media, Inc. subsidiary derives from advertising on the KiwiBox website. Most contracts require the Company to deliver 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 or hosting revenue consists of an annual contract with clients to provide web-site hosting and assistance.
.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting 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.

2. GOING CONCERN
The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on increasing sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. In their reports for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our auditors had expressed an opinion that, as a result of the losses incurred, there was substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans are to continue seeking equity and debt capital until cash flow from operations cover funding needs.
3. CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK

8. GOODWILL
On August 16, 2007, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of KiwiBox Media, Inc. The total initial purchase price of $2,850,273 was calculated as follows: we issued 30,000,000 restricted common shares based on a total value of $1,500,000 determined by the lower of $0.05 per share and the average sales price of the Company’s common stock for the ten (10) successive trading days immediately preceding the closing, 43,610 shares of our Series G Preferred Stock worth $500,000, paid $450,000 in cash to the three KiwiBox owners, and incurred $57,500 in acquisition fees. In addition, based on the initial Agreement and Plan of Reorganization from February 2007, the Company committed to investing $3.5 million for the operations of Kiwibox. Based on an amendment in July 2007, in the event that certain investment tranches were not made by their respective due dates, the Company agreed to issue 60,000 restricted shares to the former shareholders of Kiwibox for each day that the funds were in arrears. The Company estimated the fair value of this pre-acquisition contingency as of the acquisition date based on the present value of the total expected liability at a discount rate of 5%, with an accreted value of $295,800 at June 30, 2008 (current period value of $3,027 was charged to operations, so net increase in purchase price was $292,773). In February 2008, the Company entered into another amendment that superseded the provisions of amendments in December 2007, whereby the Company agreed to issue 20 million reset shares, valued at $200,000, and a promissory note for $225,000, and $250,000 cash penalties ($100,000 paid in 2007, $150,000 paid in 2008) as additional consideration due to the delays in financing, which increased the value of Goodwill at March 31, 2008. This additional consideration eliminated the requirement for penalty shares to continue accruing, as long as the Company received $1.5 million in financing by March 7, 2008, and invested $700,000 in Kiwibox operations. This financing was received in a timely fashion. The amendment also provided the former shareholders of Kiwibox the option to receive the value of the reset shares in common stock options of equivalent value. To date, all of the penalty shares have been issued. The promissory note for $225,000 had subsequently been reduced by $75,000 in connection with a settlement agreement reached with one of the former shareholders of Kiwibox (see Note 13), with $75,000 paid during the quarter and the remaining $75,000 paid subsequent to the end of the quarter.
The excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired has been recorded as Goodwill in the amount of $3,138,751 as of September 30, 2008. Management expects the future discounted cash flows from Kiwibox’ operations to be equal or higher than the carrying amount of the goodwill.

The warrants were valued at $30,311 using a Black-Scholes model, with the following assumptions: volatility - 169%, dividends – none, risk-free rate – 2.1%. In addition, in January 2008, the Company converted the $100,000 deposit recorded previously as deferred revenue into common stock on behalf of the depositor by issuing 2,000,000 restricted common shares. This issuance resulted in a gain on extinguishment of this liability of $60,000 based on the fair value of the shares delivered in settlement.
At December 31, 1999 the Company had $1,475,000 of notes outstanding related to a June 1995 private placement offering.

Such Act provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their businesses so long as they identify these statements as forward looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the projected results. All statements other than those statements of historical fact made in this report are forward looking. In particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from management’s expectations. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc., included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.
Background
On August 16, 2007, we closed on our acquisition of Kiwibox Media, Inc., a business that had developed a social networking website dedicated to teenagers. As a result of this acquisition, accomplished through a reverse merger, Kiwibox Media, Inc. became our wholly owned subsidiary. Prior to this acquisition, we entered into a License and Client Software Support Agreement with Imminent Technologies, LLC on April 10, 2007, licensing our prior business’ suite of ergonomic software products and thereby, effectively terminating our involvement in the ergonomic software business, all as disclosed in the current report on Form 8-K we filed on April 11, 2007.
The Kiwibox Closing - August 16, 2007.
On August 16, 2007, we closed our acquisition of Kiwibox Media, Inc. through a reverse merger between Kiwibox and our wholly owned acquisition subsidiary. As a result of the merger, Kiwibox became our wholly owned subsidiary. At the Kiwibox closing, we (1) issued an aggregate 30,000,000 restricted common shares to the three Kiwibox shareholders, (2) issued an aggregate 43,610 shares of our Senior Convertible Series G Preferred stock to these principals, (3) paid an aggregate $150,000 in cash to these Kiwibox principals, less a $7,000 investment banking fee paid to Southridge Investment Group, and (4) signed two-year employment agreements with Messrs. Lin Dai, Ivan Tumanov and Michael Howard, the three Kiwibox shareholders, all pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated February 19, 2007, and amendments thereto, and as most recently modified by Amendment No. 6 between the parties on February 28, 2008. The 43,610 Series G Preferred Shares issued to the Kiwibox principals at closing have an aggregate conversion value of $500,000 (the “Conversion Value”), which $500,000 Conversion Value is convertible into our common shares by dividing it by the “Market Price” of our common stock during the twenty (20) successive trading days immediately preceding the second anniversary of the agreement. At the closing, the Company promised to issue 750,000 of the KiwiBox shareholders’restricted common shares to Southridge Investment Group, LLC as part of its fee. Based upon our original Agreement and Plan of Reorganization of February 2007, we committed to invest $3.5 Million in the Kiwibox business. This commitment was based upon our communications with a Swiss based shareholder and investor in our Company, Tell Capital AG, who on July 26, 2007, sent us a commitment to invest $3 million of equity in our Company. Based upon Tell Capital’s commitment, we executed Amendment No. 3 to our original February, 2007 agreement with Kiwibox, committing to invest $3.5 million in various tranches, corresponding to the investment schedule set forth in the Tell Capital commitment, as well as agreeing to pay 60,000 restricted common shares for each day any of our scheduled investment tranches were late. Because of the delays in the receipt of the equity investments from Tell Capital, scheduled through November 1, 2007, our corresponding investment commitments to the Kiwibox business were also late. The continuing lateness of our investment commitments to the Kiwibox business resulted in further amendments to our Kiwibox agreement and required us to make a $100,000 penalty payment to the Kiwibox shareholders in 2007. The final modification to our original agreement, Amendment No. 6, executed on February 28, 2008, provided that if we raised $1.5 million in equity on or before March 7, 2008 and dedicated $700,000 of that amount to the Kiwibox business, made another penalty payment of $150,000 and delivered our corporate note in the principal amount of $225,000 to the Kiwibox shareholders, all rescission rights held by the Kiwibox shareholders and any further obligations to invest in the Kiwibox business would terminate. On March 7, 2008, we received $1.5 Million in subscription proceeds from investors, from which proceeds we dedicated $700,000 to the Kiwibox business, made the $150,000 penalty payment to the Kiwibox shareholders and delivered to them our $225,000 corporate note. Accordingly, the Kiwibox shareholders’ rights of rescission and our obligation to invest further funds in the Kiwibox business terminated. We have paid the Kiwibox shareholders $250,000 in cash, delivered to them our $225,000 corporate note, due June 15, 2008, and must issue to them approximately 30,000,000 restricted common shares resulting from the series of delays in meeting our commitments to invest funds into the Kiwibox business. We issued the 20,000,000 reset shares and the 10,200,000 penalty shares to the Kiwibox shareholders and settled the $225,000 corporate note.
16
We signed and delivered two-year employment agreements with the three Kiwibox Shareholders at the closing. These employment agreements pay each Kiwibox Shareholder an annual base salary of $150,000 and an annual bonus if certain business goals are met. Each Kiwibox Shareholder received a stock option to purchase up to 7,500,000 shares of our common stock which vests over time as well as a performance stock option to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, vesting upon the attainment of certain business goals. All of these stock options are exercisable at $.05 per share. During the third quarter , we entered into a termination agreement with Ivan Tumanov, one of the Kiwibox shareholders, pursuant to which Mr. Tumanov resigned his position, terminated his employment agreement and returned his 10,500,000 stock options for cancellation, all as reported in our current report filed on Form 8-K with the Commission on September 24, 2008. We also issued to Paul Farris, the Director of Business Development for the Kiwibox operation, 500,000 non-qualified stock options, vesting one-third each on the three successive anniversary dates of his employment and 500,000 performance stock options, vesting upon attainment of certain performance goals, one-half each on the first and second employment anniversary dates, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement.

Search Engine Optimization – Kiwibox restructured article, news, journal, qbook, and postboard pages to optimize them for search engines. The changes resulted in growth of organic search engine traffic by 129% from July 2008 to September 2008.
Membership Growth – Through organic growth, new partnerships, and increased marketing efforts, new membership increased by 147% from the previous quarter.
Improved Referral Tools – In September, Kiwibox launched the eFriendFinder application. The application allows members to use their email address books from AOL, Yahoo!, Gmail, Hotmail, and other services to find their friends on Kiwibox and invite friends that aren't already members of Kiwibox.com. The service generates on average over 10,000 invitations to join Kiwibox, per day.

Results of Operations
The Company had no material revenues during the quarter ended September 30, 2007. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, total revenues amounted to $18,841 and $37,055, respectively, generated entirely from the Kiwibox operations. Expenses for website hosting services for Kiwibox’ website are recognized as cost-of-goods-sold and amounted to $6,266 and $38,016 for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2008.
Our operating expenses increased significantly from the same period a year ago, due to an expansion in staffing and marketing expenses to advance our new Kiwibox business. After accounting for selling-, research-, and general and administrative expenses totaling $597,710 and $2,040,720, the Company realized losses from operations of $585,135 and $2,041,681 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to operating losses of $712,740 and $1,733,596 over the similar periods in 2007 during which time we had not yet invested in the new business. Non-operating income and expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 consisted primarily of a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1,942 and $720,798, respectively, and accounting charges of $262,546 and $508,342 reflecting the change in fair value of outstanding options and warrants during that period, plus some smaller positions. The period results were a net loss of $852,704 and a net loss of $1,887,413 for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2008, compared to losses of $462,286 and 2,435,184 for the same periods in 2007.
After accounting for dividend accruals on outstanding preferred stock which totaled $41,747 in 2008, the net results applicable to common shareholders for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2008, were losses of $866,619 or $0.002 per share, and of $1,929,160 or $0.005 per share, respectively, compared to losses of $475,409 or $0.002 per share, and $2,475,782 or $0.011 per share for the same periods in the previous year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our business with new debt and equity capital since our cash flow is insufficient to provide the working capital necessary to fund our operations. We recorded $1,610,000 in cash from subscriptions for new equity capital from accredited private investors during the first nine months of 2008. In addition, we received $90,000 from short-term loans. Our deficit in working capital amounted to $3,977,374 at September 30, 2008, as compared to a deficit of $5,826,532 at December 31, 2007. Stockholders’ equity showed an impairment of $742,834 at September 30, 2008, compared to an impairment of $3,095,576 at the beginning of the year. The negative cash flow from operations totaled $2,021,873 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 primarily foreign investors. Details of such transactions can be found in the “Changes and Issuance of Securities” section of this report and our reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2008.
We have no bank debt and aside from trade payables and accruals, our indebtedness at September 30, 2008, consisted of certain notes and loans aggregating $265,000. The position “Obligations to be settled in stock” of $106,000 represents stock to be issued to certain consultants. Current liabilities also include $418,491 accrued 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.
Our current cash reserves and net cash flow from operations expected during the near future may not be sufficient to fund our website development, operations and marketing plan over the next twelve months. We expect to fund these requirements with further investments in form of debt or equity capital, targeted for the fourth quarter of 2008. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to identify a financing source or sources and if we do, whether the terms of such financing will be acceptable or commercially reasonable. If the Company failed to do so, either by not acquiring sufficient funds, or not receiving such funds in a timely manner, management may be forced to effect cut-backs in the Company’s operations.
