CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, and for all periods presented herein, have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2009 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

There were no grants during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The general terms of awards such as vesting requirements (usually 1 to 2 years), term of options granted (usually 10 years), and number of shares authorized for grants of options or other equity instruments are determined by the Board of Directors. A summary of the status of the Company's stock options and warrants as of March 31, 2010 and changes during the periods ended December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010 is presented below: Weighted Weighted Options Average Average and Exercise Grant Date Warrants Price Fair Value ------------ --------- ---------- Outstanding, December 31, 2009 47,105,000 $ 0.30 $ 0.30 Exercisable, December 31, 2009 32,625,000 $ 0.30 $ 0.30 ------------ --------- ---------- Granted - - - Expired - - - Exercised - - - ------------ --------- ---------- Outstanding, March 31, 2010 47,105,000 $ 0.30 $ 0.30 ============ ========= ========== Exercisable, March 31, 2010 32,625,000 $ 0.30 $ 0.30 ============ ========= ========== NOTE 5 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Use of Estimates - ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 10 ALPHATRADE.COM Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 NOTE 5 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Recent Accounting Pronouncements - -------------------------------- In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary. This amendment to Topic 810 clarifies, but does not change, the scope of current US GAAP. It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and removes the potential conflict between guidance in that Subtopic and asset derecognition and gain or loss recognition guidance that may exist in other US GAAP. An entity will be required to follow the amended guidance beginning in the period that it first adopts FAS 160 (now included in Subtopic 810-10). For those entities that have already adopted FAS 160, the amendments are effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted FAS 160. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-02 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This amendment to Topic 505 clarifies the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a limit on the amount of cash that will be distributed is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260. Effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and would be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-01 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. NOTE 6 - MARKETABLE SECURITIES The Company has investments in marketable equity securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of the securities at the time they are acquired and evaluates the appropriateness of such classifications at each balance sheet date. The classification of those securities and the related accounting polices are as follows: Available-for-sale securities consist of marketable equity securities not classified as trading or held-to-maturity. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses, which continuous less than 12 months, are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income of stockholders' equity. The Company determines the cost of securities sold by specific identification method. The following is a summary of the Company's investment in available-for-sale securities as of March 31, 2010: 11 ALPHATRADE.COM Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 NOTE 6 - MARKETABLE SECURITIES (CONTINUED) Amortized Gross Gross Fair Cost Unrealized Unrealized Market Basis Gains Loss Value --------- ---------- ----------- -------- Available-for-sale Securities $ 629,393 $ 83,061 $ (315,017) $397,437 Included in marketable securities are shares of common stock with a fair value of $226,330, which is subject to the Rule 144 hold restriction. For the 3 months ended March 31, 2010, there were ($25,674) in realized losses resulting from sales of marketable securities. NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Management has evaluated subsequent events and determined that there are no subsequent events to report. NOTE 8 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALANT During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company wrote checks in excess of cash for $40,699 and $31,488 respectively. 12 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operations The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Forward-looking and Cautionary Statements This report contains certain forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. These factors may cause our company's, or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will" "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue," or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Results of Operations. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009 - ----------------------------------------- During the three months ended March 31, 2010, total revenues were $892,395, which was a decline of 49% from $1,751,146 for the same period in 2009. The decrease was mainly due to a decline in advertising revenue. Advertising revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $263,001 compared to $1,045,846 in 2009. Other revenues were $88,496 during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to $52,442 for the same period in 2009, which is a 69% increase. This increase was the result of growth in our web site development program and sales of our E-Trax tools. In addition, we had $362,799 in deferred revenue to be realized in subsequent quarters. This deferred revenue is derived from both our E-Gate subscriptions and our extended advertising contracts and will be realized in the subsequent quarters based on the terms of the contracts and the service being provided. We continue to focus on increasing the traffic to our stable of websites to ensure our advertising clients have a highly desirable demographic target audience. We are experiencing success with building new subscribers to our business networking site, www.zenobank.com. This site provides a comprehensive forum for companies, businesses associated with the financial markets and investors to network using all of the modern, web-based tools available such as blogs, forums, and chat rooms. Every public company, once they sign up, will have complete and accurate financial data on their profile pages on ZenoBank - this will ensure they are compliant with all regulatory policies with respect to investor relations. Our cost of sales for our financial products is directly related to the price of our financial feeds and content. Some of these costs are fixed monthly fees and others are based on the number of users or subscribers. 13 We believe the market conditions at present will encourage people to save money in every way possible. The cost effective products AlphaTrade offers in both the E-Gate and advertising should help us grow the client base for all of our products. For the first quarter of 2010 our cost of sales was 51% of revenues compared to 23% of revenues in the same period in 2009. The increase in the percentage was mainly due to fee increases from some exchanges. Our operating expenses decreased to $341,380 in 2010 from $1,484,760 in 2009 primarily due to a write-down of non-cash trade receivables in 2009 and a reduction in management expenses in 2010. We are generating referrals and long term established relationships with marketing and public relations firms. During 2010 we paid $48,233 to consultants for marketing fees compared to $50,958 in 2009. The total other expenses were $37,788 in 2010 compared with $174,500 in 2009. The decrease was the result of $44,851 less in realized losses on sales of marketable securities and $91,861 of lower interest expenses in 2010. As well the interest rate on one of the Company's debts was reduced in the second half of 2009. We realized a net income of $62,692 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to a loss of ($310,179) for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Historically, many of our expenses are paid in shares of our common stock. The expenses are recorded at the fair value of the shares issued. Excluding these non-cash expenses the income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 would have been $62,192 and ($302,179), respectively. Liquidity and Capital Resources. We have consistently been financed through loans from related parties and from raising capital through private equity offerings. We used $155,991 and $73,560 of cash in our operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net cash from investing activities of $56,210 was received from the sale of marketable securities during the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to cash used of ($11,494) for the same period in 2009. We expect that our 2010 cash inflows from operations may not be adequate to cover cash out-flows from operations. We expect that we will need to raise approximately $1,000,000 from either increased advertising revenues, a private placement of our common stock or a loan to meet these commitments. Given the right circumstances, we would entertain a secondary financing if it would ensure our growth could be greatly fast-tracked otherwise we will focus on building our business via revenue growth. Currently, we do not have any definitive plans for a secondary financing. We currently have no material commitments for major capital expenditures. Dependence on Key Personnel We are dependent on the services of Gordon Muir, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The loss of Mr. Muir, or other key executives and personnel, or the inability to attract and retain the additional highly skilled employees required for the expansion of our activities, may have a material adverse effect on our business or our future operations. 14 Item 3. Controls and Procedures As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure the material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.
