NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Restatement
The Company has restated its financial statements for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 to correct errors in such financial statements.
The restatement of the Company's financial statements is based upon a review of
the accounting treatment of certain transactions entered into by the Company
with certain investors in 2006 and 2007. During this review, the Company
discovered that it had incorrectly applied a restriction discount to the market
value of its common stock based on a long history of selling restricted common
stock to a group of investors. The discounted stock price was then used in the
allocation of proceeds between debt and equity for units of convertible
promissory notes and restricted common shares that were sold to investors in
late 2006 and early 2007. The discounted stock price was also used to determine
if there was a beneficial conversion related to the convertible promissory
notes. The same methodology was used in late 2007 when the Company issued
convertible promissory notes along with common stock warrants.
The following tables present the effects of the restatement adjustments on the
Company's balance sheet as of March 31, 2008 and its statements of operations
and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Continuation as a Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in
accordance with the requirements for Form 10-Q and contemplate continuation of
ANTs software inc. (the "Company"), as a going concern. However, the Company has
suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that
raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The Company has had minimal revenues since inception, incurred losses
from operations since its inception and has a net accumulated deficit during its
years of operations totaling $91,032,977, as of March 31, 2009. The Company's
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management's ability to
generate profitable operations in the future and/or obtain the necessary
financing to meet obligations and repay liabilities arising from normal business
operations when they come due. The Company plans to seek additional capital
through private placements of equity or debt. If the Company is successful in
its efforts to generate revenue in 2009, it will be a source of operating funds
through the third quarter of 2009. This expectation includes the anticipated
receipt of the final payment of $2 million from a customer as shown in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company collected $1.5 million of the
outstanding balance in May 2009. Management's plans, if successful, will
mitigate the factors that raise substantial doubt about the ability to continue
as a going concern.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have
been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required for annual financial statements and therefore should be read in
conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008. The December 31, 2008 consolidated balance sheet was derived
from audited financial statements filed with our 10-K as of December 31, 2008
and therefore may not include all disclosures required for annual financial
statements.
There have been no significant changes in the Company's significant accounting
policies during the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the
significant accounting policies described in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The information furnished reflects
all adjustments (all of which were of a normal recurring nature), which, in the
opinion of management, are necessary to make the consolidated financial
statements not misleading and to fairly present the financial position, results
of operations, and cash flows on a consistent basis. Operating results for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 (restated) are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected in the future.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ANTs software inc.
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Inventa Technologies, Inc. ("Inventa") from May
30, 2008, the date of acquisition (collectively referred to as the "Company").
All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. The significant estimates made by management include
allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, recoverability of long-lived and
intangible assets, the fair value of the warrants and debt issued in conjunction
with the issuance of the promissory notes, and assumptions incorporated in
determining stock-based compensation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the
period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components
of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as
current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are
reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized.
The income tax benefits generated in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and
2008 (restated) as a result of the Company's net losses have been fully offset
by recording a valuation allowance in each period.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes license and royalty revenue in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition
("SOP 97-2"), and SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue
Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions. Revenues consist of
product revenues representing sales of customized platforms using our
intellectual property, licenses and royalties and services revenues representing
managed and professional services fees for maintenance and support services.
Maintenance and support revenue is deferred and recognized over the related
contract period, generally twelve months, beginning with customer acceptance of
the product.
The Company uses the residual method to recognize revenue when a license
agreement includes one or more elements to be delivered at a future date. If
there is an undelivered element under the license arrangement, the Company will
defer revenue based on vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of the fair
value of the undelivered element, as determined by the price charged when the
element is sold separately. If the VSOE of fair value does not exist for all
undelivered elements, the Company defers all revenue until sufficient evidence
exists or all elements have been delivered. Under the residual method, discounts
are allocated only to the delivered elements in a multiple element arrangement
with any undelivered elements being deferred based on VSOE of fair values of
such undelivered elements. Revenue from software license arrangements, which
comprise prepaid license and maintenance and support fees, is recognized when
all of the following criteria are met:
o Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
o Delivery has occurred and there are no future deliverables except PCS;
o The fee is fixed and determinable. If the Company cannot conclude that
a fee is fixed and determinable, then assuming all other criteria have
been met, revenue is recognized as payments become due in accordance
with paragraph 29 of SOP 97-2; and
o Collection is probable.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has two stock-based employee and director compensation plans (the
ANTs software inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan and the ANTs software inc. 2008 Stock
Plan). Since January 1, 2006, the Company has been using the provisions of SFAS
123(R), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123(R)"), to account for stock-based awards
compensation expense. The Company elected to use the modified prospective
transition method as permitted by SFAS 123(R). Under this transition method,
stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 includes
compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to,
but not fully vested, as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value
estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for
Stock Compensation ("SFAS 123"). Stock-based compensation expense for all
stock-based compensation awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 is based
on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
123(R). The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option awards on a
straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, generally
three years; however, the Company has also issued stock options with
performance-based vesting criteria.
All stock-based awards to nonemployees are accounted for at their fair value in
accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 96-18, Accounting for Equity
Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in
Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. The Company has recorded the fair
value of each stock option issued to non-employees as determined at the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
("SFAS 157"), for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets
and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. In February 2008,
the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
157, which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for the Company to January
1, 2009 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
non-recurring basis. The Company adopted these remaining provisions on January
1, 2009. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value
measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a
fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information.
The Company's carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximates fair value
due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The
carrying values of the convertible promissory notes approximate their fair
values. To determine the fair value of the convertible promissory notes, the
Company estimated the fair value by first determining the Company's effective
borrowing rate. The effective borrowing rate was estimated by considering the
Company's high credit risk and high risk of nonperformance. The Company then
evaluated the present value of the future cash flows for convertible promissory
notes.

3. Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings
per Share, using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average
number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the
period.
The following unaudited table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net
loss per share for the three months ending March 31, 2009 and 2008 (restated),
respectively. At March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had 10,351,957 and

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto in Part 1 Item 1, Financial Statements for this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with Item 7, Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such
forward-looking statements herein are based on current expectations that involve
a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are based
on assumptions that we will have adequate financial resources to fund the
development and operation of our business, that there will be no material
adverse change in our operations or business, that we will meet success in
marketing and selling our products, and that we will be able to continue to
attract and retain skilled employees necessary for our business, among other
things. The foregoing assumptions are based on judgments with respect to, among
other things, information available to our future economic, competitive and
market conditions and future business decisions. All of these assumptions are
difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many are beyond our control.
Accordingly, although we believe that the assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, any such assumption could prove to be
inaccurate and therefore there can be no assurance that the results contemplated
in the forward-looking statements will be realized. There are a number of risks
presented by our business and operations, which could cause our financial
performance to vary markedly from prior results, or results contemplated by the
forward-looking statements. Such risks include failure of our technology or
products to work as anticipated, failure to develop commercially viable products
or services from our technology, delays or failure in financing efforts, delays
in or lack of market acceptance, failure to recruit adequate personnel, and
problems with protection of intellectual property, among others. The words
"believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "anticipate" "should", "could",
"may", "plan" and similar expressions and variations thereof identify some of
these forward-looking statements. Management decisions, including budgeting, are
subjective in many respects and periodic revisions must be made to reflect
actual conditions and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to
alter our capital investment and other expenditures, which may also adversely
affect our results of operations. In light of significant uncertainties inherent
in forward-looking information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by
us that our objectives or plans will be achieved. We undertake no obligation to
revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking
statements.
Restatement
The Company has restated its financial statements for the period ended March 31,
2008 to correct errors in such financial statements.
The restatement of the Company's financial statements is based upon a review of
the accounting treatment of certain transactions entered into by the Company
with certain investors in 2006 and 2007. During this review, the Company
discovered that it had incorrectly applied a restriction discount to the market
value of its common stock based on a long history of selling restricted common
stock to a group of investors. The discounted stock price was then used in the
allocation of proceeds between debt and equity for units of convertible
promissory notes and restricted common shares that were sold to investors in
late 2006 and early 2007. The discounted stock price was also used to determine
if there was a beneficial conversion related to the convertible promissory
notes. The same methodology was used in late 2007 when the Company issued
convertible promissory notes along with common stock warrants. See Note 1 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact of the restatement.

Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 consist of services revenues
representing managed and professional services fees for maintenance and support
services. Future revenues are expected to include sales and licenses of our ANTs
Compatibility Server ("ACS") product and related technology, managed services
revenue related to existing and new contracts and professional services revenue
from pre and post-sales consulting related to ACS and other database
consolidation technologies we may develop.
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are from ANTs Data Server
("ADS") license fees, recognition of deferred maintenance and support of ADS,
royalties from third parties that resell ADS, and professional services fees on
ADS installations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recognized approximately $1.4
million in revenue, an increase of approximately $1.4 million versus the three
months ended March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition
of Inventa as all revenues during the first quarter are related to Inventa
services revenues. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, three customers
accounted for 97% of total revenues of $1,388,357.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues during the three months ending March 31, 2009 and 2008 was
approximately $1.2 million and $44,000, respectively. Cost of revenues for the
quarter ended March 31, 2009 consists of personnel costs to provide managed and
professional services. Cost of revenues during the quarter ended March 31, 2008
consisted primarily of amortization of a warrant from a major customer.

services and, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, maintenance and support of
ADS. We completed development of ADS in 2005 and began sales and support of that
product during that year. We began development of ACS in early 2007.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of employee salaries and
benefits, stock-based compensation, professional fees for marketing and sales
services, travel and entertainment and corporate overhead allocations.
Sales and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
is presented in the table below.

Headcount at end of period 6 2 200%
Total sales and marketing expense increased by approximately $190,000, a 58%
increase, due primarily to the following:
o Employee compensation and benefits increased by 134% primarily due to
the acquisition of Inventa and the resulting increase in head-count.
o Stock-based compensation decreased 50% primarily due to a one-time
non-cash charge incurred for the repricing of stock options, effective
March 26, 2008, to the then-current market price of our common stock.
o Consulting fees decreased 55% due to efficiencies achieved in
go-to-market strategy. By selling through partners rather than selling
directly to end-users, we eliminated end-user marketing and
lead-generation programs.
o Travel and entertainment decreased 50% as we decreased travel
activities for our sales and marketing staff.
o Corporate allocations increased 79% due to increased headcount in
sales and marketing.
o Amortization of customer relationships resulted from the acquisition
of Inventa in the prior year.
19
Research and Development
Research and development expense consists primarily of employee compensation and
benefits, contractor fees to research and development service providers,
stock-based compensation and equipment and computer supplies. During 2007 we
began developing ACS, which significantly increased our contract research and
development expense.
Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and
2008 is presented in the table below.

Headcount at end of period 4 26 -85%
Total research and development expenses decreased by approximately $2.1 million,
a 79% decrease, due primarily to the following:
o Employee compensation and benefits, and stock-based compensation
decreased 87% due to decreases in headcount from 26 as of March 31,
2008 to 4 as of March 31, 2009.
o Contractor fees decreased 67% as we decreased use of contract research
and development services on the ACS product and eliminated such
services for the ADS product.
o Corporate allocations decreased 83% due to decreased headcount in
research and development.
o Equipment and computer supplies decreased primarily due to the reduced
need for such equipment as a result of the reduction in headcount.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consists primarily of employee salaries and
benefits, professional fees (legal, accounting, and investor relations),
facilities expenses, and corporate insurance.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009
and 2008 is presented in the table below.

Total general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $151,000, a
15% increase, due primarily to the following:
o Employee compensation and benefits expense increased 14% due primarily
to the acquisition of Inventa.
o Stock-based compensation decreased 72% due primarily to the impact of
the repricing of the exercise price of certain vested and unvested
stock options and warrants to the then-current market value of our
common stock as of March 26 and March 31, 2008.
o Professional fees increased 177% primarily due to expenses relating to
the restatement of the 2008 financial statements.
o Allocations of overhead costs decreased 70% versus the prior year.
Allocations of corporate overhead from general and administrative
costs to the other functional departments were based on headcount.
These allocations decreased as the number of personnel in other
functional departments decreased.

============= ==============
Since inception, we have funded operations and investments in operating assets
with cash raised through financing activities in the form of private offerings
to accredited investors. The funds raised have been primarily in the form of
sales of our common stock and, to a lesser degree, through the issuance of
convertible promissory notes.
21
Details regarding the cash flows by activity follow.
Cash Used in Operating Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, cash used in operating activities
totaled $1.3 million, an increase of $1.5 million compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2008. The following items significantly impacted our cash used
in operating activities in the first quarter of 2009 versus the same period of
2008:
o A decrease in overall salaries and benefits due to a decrease in
headcount from 31 at March 31, 2008 to 14 at March 31, 2009, as well
as a decrease in contract research and development fees.
o An increase in accounts payable and other accrued expenses
Cash Used in Investing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, cash used in investing activities
totaled approximately $23,000, a slight decrease of approximately $2,000 versus
the same period in 2008, due to a decrease in the purchase of computer and lab
equipment required to design and test our products.
Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, cash used by financing activities
totaled approximately $50,000 from the payment to retire a convertible
promissory note.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, cash provided by financing
activities totaled approximately $937,000 from the following:
o We raised $936,900, net of commissions of $104,100 from the sale for
the sale of 1,735,000 shares of the Company's common stock, at a price
of $0.60 per share.
o Cash provided by financing activities was reduced by cash commissions
paid to a placement agent totaling $104,100.
Capital Resources and Going Concern
We anticipate that current cash resources will be sufficient for us to execute
our business plan into the third quarter of 2009. This expectation includes the
anticipated receipt of the final payment of $2 million from a customer as shown
in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. If further financing is not obtained we will
not be able to continue to operate as a going concern. We collected $1.5 million
of the outstanding balance in May 2009. We believe that securing additional
sources of financing to enable us to continue the development and
commercialization of our proprietary technologies will be difficult and there is
no assurance of our ability to secure such financing. A failure to obtain
additional financing could prevent us from making expenditures that are needed
to pay current obligations, allow us to hire additional personnel and continue
development of our product and technology. If we raise additional financing by
selling equity or convertible debt securities, the relative equity ownership of
our existing investors could be diluted or the new investors could obtain terms
more favorable than previous investors. If we raise additional funds through
debt financing, we could incur significant borrowing costs and be subject to
adverse consequences in the event of a default.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rates
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to
the increase or decrease in the amount of interest income we earn on our
investment portfolio. Our investment portfolio consists of liquid investments
that have maturities of three months or less. Our risk associated with
fluctuating interest income is limited to investments in interest rate sensitive
financial instruments. Under our current policy, we do not use interest rate
derivative instruments to manage this exposure to interest rate changes. We seek
to ensure the safety and preservation of our invested principal by limiting
default risk, market risk, and reinvestment risk. We mitigate default risk by
investing in short-term investment grade securities.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, evaluated
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule
13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures,
management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the
desired control objectives.
Based on management's evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as
of March 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a
reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance
that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and
make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase
efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control
environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more
efficient systems, consolidating activities, migrating processes, or acquisition
of subsidiaries. As a result of the material weaknesses listed in the 10-K,
management has continued using the services of the third party contract
consulting company. Management is also in the process of analyzing all existing
controls to ensure all major, non-routine transactions are appropriately
recorded.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On July 10, 2008, Sybase, Inc. ("Sybase"), an enterprise software and services
company, filed a complaint for common law unfair business practices, and
tortuous interference with contractual relations, among other things, in the
Superior Court of the State of California, County of Alameda. Sybase is seeking
an injunction, and damages, among other legal and equitable relief. We believe
that this lawsuit is without merit and intend to continue vigorously defending
ourselves.
On August 22, 2008, a former ANTs employee filed a putative class action
complaint for all current and former software engineers, for failure to pay
overtime wages, and failure to provide meal breaks, among other things, in
Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo. The former
employee is seeking an injunction, damages, attorneys' fees, and penalties. We
believe that this lawsuit is without merit and intend to continue vigorously
defending ourselves.
On October 14, 2008, Bayside Plaza ("Bayside"), a partnership, filed a complaint
for breach of contract in Superior Court of the State of California, County of
San Mateo. Bayside is seeking approximately $50,000 in rent, late fees and
operating expenses per month from October 2008. The Company intends to continue
defending itself.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Other than the following there has been no material changes during the quarter
ended March 31, 2009.
We might not collect our receivables
Due to the ongoing worldwide economic crisis, weakness in the credit markets,
significant liquidity problems in the financial services industry and related
factors, we might face increased problems in collecting our accounts, notes, and
other obligations receivable. Since we rely on those receivables to finance our
ongoing business operations, failure to collect our receivables might cause our
business and operations to be severely and materially adversely affected.
