The
Company and Basis of Presentation
Company
DigitalFX
International, Inc. (the “Company”), a Florida corporation, is a holding
company, and
a
multi-tier Web 2.0 digital media products distribution company
,
as
showcased on its social network
www.helloworld.com
operated
by its wholly-owned subsidiary, DigitalFX Networks, LLC, a Nevada limited
liability company (“DigitalFX Networks”).
The
Company develops, hosts and markets proprietary communication and collaboration
services, and social networking software applications, including video email,
video instant messaging and live webcasting. The portal utilizes a
commercial-free, subscription-based Application Service Provider (ASP)
model.
The
Company sells subscriptions to its portal through a unique multi-tiered
affiliate program using non-related independent distributors, known as
“Affiliates.” The Company also markets subscriptions directly to “Retail
Customers” who purchase them for their personal use. In addition to offering
portal subscriptions, the Company sells select products to these Affiliates
through its U.S. subsidiary VMdirect, L.L.C., a Nevada limited liability company
(“VMdirect”), and its wholly-owned U.K. and Ireland subsidiaries to assist them
in building their businesses and in selling subscriptions to the
portal.
The
Company has developed an additional portal called FirstStream,
www.firststream.com
,
through
which
subscriptions
are
offered by certain qualified Affiliates to small and medium sized businesses.
These are sold through DigitalFX Networks.
The
Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, DigitalFX Solutions, LLC, a Nevada limited
liability company (“DigitalFX Solutions”), operates its website,
www.digitalfxsolutions.com
,
which
offers the Company’s video-enabled web platform to enterprise-sized businesses.
In addition, DigitalFX Solutions has an electronics division, whose purpose
is
to expand the Company’s current product offerings to other electronic devices,
supplies, software and components.
The
condensed
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, VMdirect
and its wholly-owned U.K. and Ireland subsidiaries, and the Company’s
wholly-owned Nevada subsidiaries. Inter-company transactions and balances have
been eliminated.
These
interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the
opinion of management of the Company, contain all adjustments, which include
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position
at September 30, 2008, the results of operations for the three and nine months
ended September, 2008 and 2007 and the cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007. The Company’s audited financial statements as of
and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 are included in its 10-KSB
filing dated March 31, 2008. The results of operations for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results
of
operations to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2008.

Merger
and Stock Split
On
June
15, 2006, Qorus.com, Inc., an inactive Florida corporation (“Qorus”) with no
current operations, issued to the members of VMdirect (“Members”) 1,014,589
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share,
of
Qorus (the “Preferred Stock”), which were converted into 1,057,547,456 shares of
Qorus’ common stock (“Conversion Shares”). The number of shares of Preferred
Stock issued to the Members and the number of Conversion Shares gives effect
to
the issuance of 289,292 membership units by VMdirect for an aggregate purchase
price of $625, a transaction that was completed immediately prior to the closing
of the transaction with Qorus. The transaction has been accounted for as a
reverse merger (recapitalization) with the Company deemed the accounting
acquirer, and Qorus the legal acquirer. As such, the financial statements herein
reflect the historical activity of VMdirect since its inception, and the
historical stockholders’ equity of VMdirect has been retroactively restated for
the equivalent number of shares received in the exchange after giving effect
to
any differences in the par value offset to additional paid in capital.
Subsequent to the consummation of this transaction, Qorus changed its name
to
DigitalFX International, Inc.
On
August
1, 2006, the Company affected a 1 for 50 reverse stock split. The effect of
this
stock split has been retroactively reflected in the financial statements as
if
the stock split occurred at the beginning of the earliest period
reported.
Change
in Control
On
October 15, 2008, the Company entered into a Framework Agreement with Richard
Kall, the Co-Manager of VM Investors, LLC (“VM Investors”), the Company’s
majority shareholder, Craig Ellins, VM Investor’s Co-Manager, Chairman of the
Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”), and the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer and President, and Amy Black, the President of VMdirect, pursuant to
which, among other matters, Richard Kall agreed to consummate the transactions
under those certain Note Purchase Agreements dated October 15, 2008 (the “Note
Purchase Agreements”), among Richard Kall, the Company, and each of Portside
Growth and Opportunity Fund, Highbridge International LLC and Iroquois Master
Fund, Ltd. (collectively the “Investors”), subject to (a) Craig Ellins, Amy
Black, Kevin Keating and Jerry Haleva resigning from all positions with the
Company and each of its subsidiaries, (b) the Company reducing the size of
its
Board to three directors, (c) Richard Kall’s appointment as the Corporation’s
Chief Executive Officer and election to the Board as its Chairman, and (d)
the
election of Richard Kall’s designee to the Board.
On
October 13, 2008, each of Kevin Keating and Jerry Haleva resigned from the
Board. On October 15, 2008, Craig Ellins resigned as the Chairman of the Board,
the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, and from all other officer
positions held with the Company and each of its subsidiaries, and Amy Black
resigned as the President of VMdirect and from all other officer positions
held
with the Company and each of its subsidiaries. Mr. Ellins also resigned as
the
Co-Manager of VM Investors. Each of Craig Ellins and Amy Black entered into
a
Separation and Release Agreement dated October 15, 2008 with the Company
pursuant to which the Company paid to each of Craig Ellins and Amy Black
deferred compensation accrued for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, and the
parties agreed to mutual releases of existing claims.
On
October 15, 2008, the Board also adopted resolutions reducing the size of the
Board to three directors, appointing Richard Kall as the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer and electing Richard Kall as the Chairman of the Board. Prior
to the transactions contemplated under the Framework Agreement, Craig Ellins,
as
the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive officer and President, and
as the Co-Manager of VM Investors, exercised, with the Board and other executive
officers, operational control over the Company, and with the consent of Richard
Kall, voting control. As a result of the transactions consummated under the
Framework Agreement, Richard Kall, as the sole Manager of VM Investors and
the
beneficial owner of 64.6% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock,
will exercise voting control over the Company. In addition, as the Company’s
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Richard Kall will exercise, with the
Board
and other executive officers, operational control over the Company.

October
15, 2008, Richard Kall, the Investors and the Company, entered into certain
Note
Purchase Agreements pursuant to which Richard Kall agreed to purchase an
aggregate of $350,000 of the unpaid principal amount of the Amended and Restated
Notes (described in Note 8), Amended and Restated Warrants (described in Note
8)
to purchase an aggregate of 90,517 shares of the Company’s common stock, and an
aggregate of 120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (collectively the
“Investor Securities”) previously issued to the Investors. Pursuant to the terms
of the Note Purchase Agreements, as additional consideration for Richard Kall’s
purchase of the Investor Securities, the Investors and Richard Kall agreed
to
forbear for a period of 30 days from taking any action to enforce their rights
as a result of the event of default that occurred on June 30 and September
30,
2008 with respect to the Company’s failure to satisfy one or more financial
covenants under the Amended and Restated Notes for the fiscal quarters ended
June 30 and September 30, 2008, respectively. Such forbearance period shall
extend for up to 90 days if Richard Kall or the Company makes periodic payments
to the Investors in the aggregate amount of $500,000 as further provided in
the
Note Purchase Agreements. The Company is reviewing all of its options in
connection with the Amended and Restated Notes, including potentially
restructuring the indebtedness to, among other things, revise the financial
covenants.
In
addition, the Company is currently involved in negotiations with Mr. Kall to
provide working capital through a preferred stock equity financing. On November
14, 2008, the Company received $500,000 from Mr. Kall as an advance on the
contemplated financing.
While
there are currently no other definitive plans for debt or equity financing,
we
intend to vigorously pursue external financing options during the last quarter
of 2008. However, there is no assurance that external financing will be
available to us, or if available, that it would be available on terms acceptable
to us.

Accounting
Policies
Use
of Estimates and Assumptions
The
condensed financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing
condensed 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 at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reported period. Examples of significant estimates used in preparing the
accompanying condensed financial statements include, but are not limited to:
the
fair value of investments in non-marketable securities; the carrying value
of
notes receivable; the carrying value of long-lived assets; useful lives of
property and equipment; revenue recognition; and the valuation allowances for
receivables, inventories and sales returns, and the value of stock options
issued for the purpose of determining stock-based compensation. Actual results
and outcomes may materially differ from management’s estimates and
assumptions.

Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with remaining maturities of
three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company holds
its
cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial
institutions.
At
September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had $635 and $789,
respectively, of funds held by credit card merchant processors as reserves
against any possible charge backs and returns on credit card transactions
related to customer disputes that are not offset against the Company’s daily
sales deposit activity. These amounts are reflected as Deposit, Merchant
Processors on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
At
December 31, 2007, the Company had $2,000 of funds held by a bank under a letter
of credit arrangement pursuant to its Convertible Notes Payable. These amounts
are reflected as Restricted Cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as
of December 31, 2007. In March, 2008, as described in Note 8, the Company
restructured its agreement and these funds were returned to the
Investors.
Revenues
The
Company generates revenue through (i) sales of affiliate business packages
and
selling aids to Affiliates which include cameras, sales literature, and training
videos, and the initial month’s subscription to its internet-based suite of
products which includes a wide spectrum of streaming video content and an
integrated suite of streaming media applications, including video email, video
chat, and live web-casting, (ii) sales of monthly subscriptions to retail
customers and Affiliates with a wide spectrum of streaming video content as
well
as an integrated suite of streaming media applications, including video email,
video chat, and live web-casting, (iii) sales of branded apparel and
merchandise, (iv) sales of electronic components and (v) hosting conferences
and
events.
Affiliate
Business Packages
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sales of the cameras and selling aids within
the business package, including shipping revenue, in accordance with SAB No.
104, when persuasive evidence of an order arrangement exists, delivery has
occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is
reasonably assured. Generally, these criteria are met at the time the product
is
shipped to customers when title and risk of loss have transferred. Sales of
the
above products, ranging in price from $39.95 to $1,999 USD (pricing not in
thousands), entail no post-customer support or delivery of any other items.
Allowances for estimated subsequent customer returns are provided when revenues
are recorded. Costs incurred for the shipping and handling of its products
are
recorded as cost of sales.

Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited)
The
Company recognizes revenue from sale of the Affiliate’s initial month’s
subscription to the internet-based suite of products in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principals and based on the fair value of such
suite of products. Fair value is determinable because the subscription fee
is
thereafter billed monthly at a fixed rate based on the level of service
selected. Access to the internet-based studio suite of the products is delivered
together, and the individual products within the suite cannot be sold
separately. Access is delivered immediately upon sign up and order
acceptance.
A
monthly
subscription is cancellable at any time. The relevant subscription fee is fully
refundable if such cancellation is made in writing in accordance with the
Company’s policies but only for the current month.
Monthly
Subscriptions
The
Company recognizes revenue from sales of a month’s subscription to retail
customers and sales to Affiliates for their recurring subscription to the
internet-based suite of products in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and based on the fair value of such suite of products.
Fair value is determinable because the subscription fee is billed at a fixed
rate based on the level of service selected. Funds collected in advance of
the
billing period are deferred. A monthly subscription is cancellable at any time.
The Company records an allowance for potential chargebacks on subscription
fees
based on an analysis of historical data for the four months preceding the date
of measurement. The accuracy of these estimates is dependent on the rate of
future chargebacks being consistent with the historical rate. Increases or
decreases to the sales allowance are charged to revenue.
Apparel
and Merchandise
The
Company also sells select products to Affiliates to assist them in building
their businesses and in selling subscriptions to the portal. Revenue for these
sales including shipping revenue is recognized when all the criteria of SAB
No.
104 described above are met, which is generally upon shipment.
Electronic
Components
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sales of electronic components in accordance
with SAB No. 104, when persuasive evidence of an order arrangement exists,
delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and
collectibility is reasonably assured. Generally, these criteria are met at
the
time the product is shipped to customers when title and risk of loss have
transferred. Sales of the above products entail no post-customer support or
delivery of any other items.
Conferences
and Events
The
Company also earns fees for certain events it hosts such as sales and training
conferences and seminars. Revenue is recognized when all of the criteria of
SAB
No. 104 described above are met, which is generally after the event has
occurred. Amounts collected prior to the event are reflected as deferred
revenue, and recognized after the event has occurred. As of September 30, 2008
and December 31, 2007, there was no deferred revenue related to conferences
and
events.

Shipping
and Handling Fees
Shipping
and handling fees are billed to customers and included in revenue. The related
costs are included in cost of goods sold. Shipping and handling costs are
charged to expense as incurred. Total shipping and handling costs of $58, $235,
$104 and $329 are included in cost of goods sold for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Product
Returns and Cancellations
Affiliate
business packages and merchandise returned within the first 30 days of purchase
are generally refunded at 90 percent of the sales price. Returned products
that
were damaged during shipment to the customer are replaced immediately at the
Company’s expense.
The
sales
allowance is a monthly estimate of refunds to be issued on affiliate business
packages that have been shipped but are still subject to the Company’s return
policy at month end. The allowance is based on an analysis of the historical
rate of credits and refunds, using the latest four months activity. Increases
or
decreases to the sales allowance are charged to revenue.
Monthly
subscription services are provided immediately upon enrollment and continue
until cancelled. The recurring subscription can be cancelled at any time in
writing. An allowance is recorded for subscription cancellations based on an
analysis of historical data for the four months preceding the date of
measurement.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and
non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing
costs. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation” effective January 1, 2006, and is using the modified prospective
method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective
date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments
granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS
No.
123R for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS
No.
123R that remain unvested on the effective date. The Company accounts for stock
option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance
with
EITF No. 96-18: “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than
Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services,” and
EITF 00-18 “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity
Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees” whereby the fair value of the stock
compensation is based on the measurement date as determined at either a) the
date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which
the necessary performance to earn the equity instrument is
complete.

Earnings
(Loss) Per Share
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” requires
presentation of basic earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is
computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock
method, that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of
common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. In computing
diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding
options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common
stock at the average market price during the period. Options and warrants will
have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average
market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price
of
the options and warrants.
As
of
September 30, 2008 and 2007, potentially dilutive securities include options
to
purchase approximately 958,000 and 1,410,000 shares of common stock and warrants
to purchase approximately 1,275,000 and 303,000 shares of common stock,
respectively.
Potentially
dilutive securities were not included in the calculation of loss for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, because the
Company incurred a loss during such periods and thus their effect would be
anti-dilutive, and basic and diluted loss per share are the same.
Member
Incentives
The
Company’s commission structure is based on a multi-tiered affiliate program.
Commissions are recorded for sales, including commissions based on bonus points
assigned to products which are independent of the product’s price. Commissions
totaled $1,197, $4,723, $2,365 and $7,880 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and are included in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company partially adopted SFAS 157, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” (SFAS
157) on January 1, 2008, delaying application for non-financial assets and
non-financial liabilities as permitted. This statement establishes a framework
for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements.
SFAS
157
establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
Level
1:
quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical asset or liabilities
that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Financial
assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active exchange-traded
securities and exchange-based derivatives.
Level
2:
inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly
observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through
corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets and liabilities
utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities, non-exchange-based
derivatives, mutual funds, and fair-value hedges.
Level
3:
unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little,
if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include
infrequently-traded, non-exchange-based derivatives and commingled investment
funds, and are measured using present value pricing models.
In
accordance with SFAS 157, the Company determines the level in the fair value
hierarchy within which each fair value measurement in its entirety falls, based
on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
in
its entirety.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (R), “Business
Combinations” (FAS 141(R)), which establishes accounting principles and
disclosure requirements for all transactions in which a company obtains control
over another business. Statement 141 (R) applies prospectively to 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. Earlier
adoption is prohibited.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160
establishes accounting and reporting standards that require that the ownership
interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly
identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial
position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity; the amount of
consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling
interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated
statement of income; and changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the
parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted
for consistently. SFAS No. 160 also requires that any retained noncontrolling
equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value
when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also sets forth the disclosure
requirements to identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent
and
the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities
that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit
organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding
noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a
subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods
within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier
adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 must be applied prospectively as of the
beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the
presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure
requirements are applied retrospectively for all periods presented.
In
March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 (FAS 161), “Disclosures About Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FAS 133.” FAS 161 requires
qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives,
quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on
derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent
features in derivative agreements. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the
implementation of FAS 161 to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
The
Company does not believe that the adoption of the above recent pronouncements
will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations,
financial position, or cash flows.

Investment
In and Convertible Secured Promissory Note due from Related
Party
On
June
8, 2007, the Company entered into a Subscription, Loan and Rights Agreement
(the
“SaySwap Agreement”) with SaySwap, Inc. (“SaySwap”) pursuant to which the
Company agreed to purchase a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the
“SaySwap Note”) issued by SaySwap in the principal amount of $225, and a warrant
(the “SaySwap Warrant”) to purchase 26.1 shares of SaySwap’s common stock.
SaySwap is a company that is 60% owned by the Company’s former Chief Operating
Officer and members of his immediate family.
The
SaySwap Note accrues interest at a rate of 8% per annum and has a maturity
date,
given certain circumstances, of April 24, 2009, provided, however, that if
SaySwap consummates a qualified financing (as defined in the SaySwap Note),
SaySwap is required to repay the outstanding principal amount and all accrued
interest on the SaySwap Note within 10 days of the consummation of such
qualified financing. The Company may also declare the outstanding principal
and
accrued interest due and payable in the event of a default under the SaySwap
Note. The SaySwap Note is convertible, at the Company’s option, into shares of
SaySwap’s common stock, at any time prior to 30 days before the maturity date or
three days before the consummation of a qualified financing. As security for
SaySwap’s obligations under the SaySwap Note, SaySwap also granted to the
Company a first priority security interest in all of SaySwap’s
assets.
The
SaySwap Warrant entitled the Company to purchase 26.1 shares of SaySwap’s common
stock at a per share price of $3,831 and expired on May 31, 2010. In February,
2008, the Company exercised the SaySwap Warrant for $100. After the exercise,
the Company owned a non-controlling interest in SaySwap of approximately 2%.
Pursuant
to the terms of the SaySwap Agreement, the Company is entitled to demand that
SaySwap register the shares of SaySwap’s common stock issuable upon conversion
of the SaySwap Note or exercise of the SaySwap Warrant (the “Underlying SaySwap
Shares”) at such time that SaySwap files a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

No
interest income has been recognized for the three and nine months ended

the
SaySwap note and the related interest, including interest due from April,

Fusion
Telecommunications Int’l Inc.
On
May
11, 2007, the Company entered into a Subscription and Rights Agreement with
Fusion Telecommunications International, Inc. (“Fusion”) pursuant to which it
purchased, for aggregate consideration of $700, 7 units consisting of an
aggregate of 700 shares of Fusion’s Series A-2 Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock (“Series A-2 Preferred Shares”) and warrants to purchase 421,687 shares of
Fusion’s common stock. The 700 Series A-2 Preferred Shares are convertible into
an aggregate of 843,374 shares of Fusion’s common stock. The warrants have a
term of 7.5 years and are exercisable at the per share price of $0.83. Fusion
has agreed to register the shares of Fusion’s common stock underlying the Series
A-2 Preferred Shares and the warrants.
At
September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the fair value of the Company’s common
share equivalents in Fusion was $219 and $286, respectively. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2008, the Company evaluated its investment in Fusion
and determined the decline in the fair value of its investment is considered
other than temporary. The Company recorded an unrealized gain (loss) on its
investment of $9 and $(481) for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2008, respectively, which is reflected in Other Expenses, net in the Company’s
condensed consolidated statements of operations. Prior to the assessment of
impairment, the Company reflected its unrealized gains and losses on its
investment as a component of Other Comprehensive Income in the Company’s
condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

CJ
Vision Enterprises, Inc./Pet Express Supply, Inc./Woozyfly,
Inc.
On
June
1, 2007, the Company subscribed to purchase 72 shares of the Series A Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock of C J Vision Enterprises, Inc. (“CJVE”), and
deposited with CJVE the aggregate purchase price of $216. CJVE’s Series A
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock will be convertible on a one-for-one
basis into shares of CJVE’s common stock, will accrue dividends at a rate of 8%
per annum, payable in kind, will be mandatorily redeemable on the fifth
anniversary of the date of issuance, and will have a liquidation preference
of
$3,000 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends which will be senior to
the
liquidation preference for CJVE’s common stock. On June 15, 2007, the Company
purchased from CVJE 20 shares of the common stock of CJVE for aggregate
consideration of $600.
A
member
of the Board of Directors of CVJE, Emanuel Gerard, was also a member of the
Board of Directors of the Company at the time of the investment.
On
July
28, 2008, the Company, as a member of the group constituting all the
shareholders (the “Shareholders”) of CJVE, entered into a Share Exchange
Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Pet Express Supply, Inc.(“Pet
Express”), a publicly traded Nevada corporation, pursuant to which Pet Express
purchased from the Shareholders all issued and outstanding shares of CJVE’s
common stock, preferred stock and warrants to purchase CJVE stock in
consideration for the issuance of 2,235,112 shares of common stock of Pet
Express and, to one of the Shareholders, warrants to purchase 629,424 shares
of
common stock of Pet Express (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Exchange
Agreement, (i) CJVE became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pet Express and (ii)
Pet
Express succeeded to the business of CJVE as its sole business.
The
Share
Exchange resulted in a change in control of Pet Express with the Shareholders
owning 2,235,112 shares of common stock of Pet Express out of a total of
2,935,112 issued and outstanding shares after giving effect to the Share
Exchange. The Company exchanged 200,000 shares of common stock and 72
Convertible Preferred Shares of CJVE into 920,000 shares of common stock of
Pet
Express, thereby holding after the exchange 31.3 percent of the issued capital
of Pet Express, and becoming the single largest shareholder of Pet Express.
On
September 26, 2008, as a result of a reverse stock split, Pet Express, which
was
renamed Woozyfly, Inc., issued the Company 4,600,000 additional shares of common
stock, bringing the Company’s total ownership to 5,520,000 shares of common
stock. Because the Company intends to dispose of its investment prior to the
end
of 2008, the Company has not consolidated its pro-rata share of Woozyfly Inc.’s
income or loss as required under APB 18 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008.
While
Woozyfly, Inc. is currently trading on the OTC market, its shares are not
actively traded. Thus, at September 30, 2008, the Company’s investment in Pet
Express is carried at cost of $816, which approximates its fair value.

Transparensee
Systems, Inc.
On
June
8, 2007, the Company purchased a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Transparensee
Note”) issued by Transparensee in the principal amount of $175. The
Transparensee Note accrued interest at a rate of 4.85% per annum and had a
maturity date of the earlier of May 14, 2008 or when, upon or after the
occurrence of an event of default under the Transparensee Note, such amounts
were declared due and payable by the Company or made automatically due and
payable in accordance with the terms of the Transparensee Note. Provided that
Transparensee obtained the requisite approvals for the creation and designation
of a new series to be designated Series A Preferred Stock, the Transparensee
Note was automatically convertible, on the maturity date, into shares of
Transparensee’s Series A Preferred Stock at a per share price of $2.075, or upon
the consent of the requisite shareholders of Transparensee. In the event that
the Transparensee Note is automatically converted into shares of Transparensee’s
Series A Preferred Stock or common stock, the Company has agreed to enter into
a
lock-up agreement for a period of 180 days in connection with Transparensee’s
intended initial public offering.
On
April
1, 2008, Transparansee converted the Transparansee Note into 91,255 shares
of
Series A Preferred Stock of Transparansee, which are convertible into shares
of
common stock at the election of the Company. Terms are still being negotiated
by
the parties.
Transparensee
agreed to indemnify the Company, up to a maximum of $75 pro rated over the
initial term of the License Agreement, from infringement claims with respect
to
the licensed software and losses arising in connection therewith. The Company
agreed to indemnify Transparensee in connection with claims with respect to
any
modifications made by the Company to the licensed software, and losses in
connection therewith.
At
December 31, 2007, the Company assessed its investment for impairment and
recorded a charge of $175 which reduced the value of its investment to $0.
No

Convertible
Notes Payable
On
November 29, 2007, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with
Portside Growth and Opportunity Fund, Highbridge International LLC and Iroquois
Master Fund, Ltd. (the “Investors”) pursuant to which Company issued on November
30, 2007, an aggregate principal amount of $7,000 of three-year senior secured
convertible notes, with a per share conversion price of $2.80 (“Existing
Notes”), and five-year warrants (“Existing Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate
of 875,000 shares of our common stock at $2.93 per share, to the
Investors.
On
March
24, 2008, the Company entered into Amendment and Exchange Agreements with the
Investors pursuant to which Company agreed, along with the Investors, to
restructure the financing consummated under the Securities Purchase Agreement
to
reduce the amount of the financing to $3,000, with each Investor receiving
repayment of its pro-rata share of $4,000, including $2,000 held in a collateral
account for certain letters of credit through the exchange of Existing Notes
for
a combination of amended and restated senior secured convertible notes (“Amended
and Restated Notes”) and an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock
(the “Common Shares”), and through the exchange of Existing Warrants for amended
and restated warrants (“Amended and Restated Warrants”). The Amended and
Restated Notes have an aggregate principal amount of $3,000 and a term of three
years commencing from November 30, 2007. The Amended and Restated Warrants
have
a term of five years commencing from November 30, 2007 and entitle the Investors
to initially purchase an aggregate of 750,002 shares of our common stock
(subject to adjustment as provided in the Amended and Restated Warrants,
including pursuant to economic anti-dilution adjustments). The Amended and
Restated Notes carry interest at 7.50% per annum on the unpaid/unconverted
principal balance, payable quarterly in cash, and are secured on a senior basis
against all of our assets. The Company is required to make aggregate monthly
principal payments of $25, plus accrued interest thereon, beginning July 1,
2008.
The
Amended and Restated Notes are convertible into approximately 1,500,000 shares
of the Company’s common stock, based on a conversion price of $2.00 per share
(subject to adjustment as provided in the Amended and Restated Notes, including
pursuant to economic anti-dilution adjustments), which shall reset on March
26,
2009 to the greater of (i) 105% of the arithmetic average of the dollar volume
weighted average price of our common stock over each of the five consecutive
trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to March 26, 2009
and
(ii) $1.00 (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends,
recapitalizations, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events);
provided however, that in no event shall the adjusted conversion price be
greater than $3.00 (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends,
recapitalizations, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events).
The Amended and Restated Warrants have an exercise price of $0.959 per share
(subject to adjustment as provided in the Amended and Restated Warrants,
including pursuant to economic anti-dilution adjustments).
The
Amended and Restated Notes are convertible at the option of the Investors prior
to their maturity. Additionally, beginning November 30, 2008, and provided
that
the Company has complied with certain equity conditions, the Company will be
able to require the Investors to convert the Amended and Restated Notes into
shares of its common stock if the dollar volume weighted average price of its
common stock is $2.75 (subject to adjustment as provided in the Amended and
Restated Notes) for twenty (20) out of thirty (30) consecutive trading
days.
The
Amended and Restated Notes and the Amended and Restated Warrants provide that
the Company shall not be obligated to issue shares of common stock upon
conversion of the Amended and Restated Notes and the exercise of the Amended
and
Restated Warrants in excess of 45,000,000 in the aggregate.

The
maturity date of the Amended and Restated Notes is November 29, 2010. The
Investors are entitled to accelerate the maturity date in the event that there
occurs an event of default under the Amended and Restated Notes, including,
without limitation, if the Company fails to register for resale the Common
Shares and the shares underlying the Amended and Restated Notes and Amended
and
Restated Warrants, if the Company fails to pay any amount under the Amended
and
Restated Notes when due, if a judgment is rendered against the Company in an
amount set forth in the Amended and Restated Notes, if the Company breaches
any
representation or warranty under the Securities Purchase Agreement or other
transaction documents, or if the Company fails to comply with the specified
covenants set forth in the Amended and Restated Notes. Among the other
covenants, the Amended and Restated Notes contain financial covenants whereby
the Company will be required to achieve specified EBITDA and revenue targets
in
each of the fiscal quarters during which the Amended and Restated Notes are
outstanding. Any failure to achieve an EBITDA or revenue target will be
considered a breach of the financial covenant.
Upon
the
occurrence of an event of default under the Amended and Restated Notes, the
Investors may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Amended
and Restated Notes by delivering written notice thereof to the Company. The
portion of the Amended and Restated Notes being redeemed shall be redeemed
by
the Company at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (A) the amount
being redeemed and (B) the applicable redemption premium (between 100% and
125%)
and (ii) the product of (A) the number of shares of the Company’s common stock
issuable upon the conversion of such amount and (B) the greater of (I) the
closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the date immediately
preceding such event of default, (II) the closing sale price of the Company’s
common stock on the date immediately after such event of default and (III)
the
closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the date the Investor
delivers a redemption notice in connection with an event of
default.
In
connection with the restructuring transaction, VM Investors (whose members
include Craig Ellins, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, and Amy
Black, the former President of VMdirect), agreed to transfer 1,000,000 shares
of
the Company’s common stock back to the Company, valued at $950.
Maxim
Group L.L.C. acted as placement agent in connection with the transaction. For
their services as placement agent, the Company was required to pay Maxim an
aggregate commission in cash equal to 8% of the gross proceeds from the sale
of
the Existing Notes and Existing Warrants, a non-accountable expense allowance
of
1% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Existing Notes and Existing
Warrants, plus a warrant to purchase 7% of the shares underlying the Existing
Notes and Existing Warrants issuable to the Investors. The Company issued a
warrant to purchase 236,250 shares (subject to adjustment as provided in the
Amended and Restated Warrants, including pursuant to economic anti-dilution
adjustments) of its common stock with an exercise price of $2.93 and a term
of 5
years to Maxim and paid Maxim a fee of $460.

At
December 31, 2007, prior to the restructuring transaction, the initial fair
value of the conversion feature was $370 and the initial fair value of the
warrants was $1,070 based upon the relative value of the Black Sholes valuation
of the warrants and the underlying debt amount. For the Black Sholes
calculation, the Company assumed no dividend yield, a risk free interest rate
of
4.63%, expected volatility of 68.38% and an expected term of the warrants of
5
years. At March 31, 2008, after the restructuring transaction, the fair value
of
the conversion feature was reduced to $0 and adjusted to paid-in capital, and
the fair value of the warrants was reduced to $376, resulting in a charge of
$536. The fair value of the warrants is reflected by the Company as a valuation
discount and offset to the carrying value of the notes and will be amortized
over the remaining term of the notes.
At
December 31, 2007, prior to the restructuring transaction, deferred financing
costs, which consist of cash paid at closing of the notes and the fair value
of
the warrants issued to the placement agent totaled $961. At March 31, 2008,
after amortization of $83 recognized up to the restructuring transaction, the
Company recognized a charge of $436. The remaining deferred financing costs
after the restructuring transaction totaled $442, which will be amortized over
the remaining term of the notes.
The
restructuring transaction substantially amended the terms of the Securities
Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to EITF 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a
Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments,” a substantial modification in
terms of an existing debt, should be reported as a debt extinguishment. The
Company’s modification of terms as described above resulted in a loss on
modification of debt of $1,920, which is reflected in the Company’s consolidated
statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The loss on
modification of debt consisted of a write down of deferred financing costs
of
$436, modification of the Investor’s warrants of $534 and the issuance of
1,000,000 shares of common stock with a fair market value of $950.
For
the
three months ended June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008, the Company determined
that it did not meet its financial covenants pursuant to the Amended and
Restated Notes. As described in Note 1, on October 15, 2008, the Company,
Richard Kall and the Investors entered into the Note Purchase Agreements
pursuant to which Richard Kall agreed to purchase an aggregate of $350,000
of
the unpaid principal amount of the Amended and Restated Senior Secured
Convertible Notes, Amended and Restated Warrants to purchase an aggregate of
90,517 shares of the Company’s common stock, and an aggregate of 120,000 shares
of common stock (collectively the “Investor Securities”) previously issued to
the Investors. Pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreements, as
additional consideration of Richard Kall’s purchase of the Investor Securities,
the Investors and Richard Kall agreed to forbear for a period of 30 days from
taking any action to enforce their rights as a result of the event of default
that occurred on June 30 and September 30, 2008 with respect to the Company’s
failure to satisfy one or more financial covenants under the Amended and
Restated Senior Secured Convertible Notes for the fiscal quarters ended June
30
and September 30, 2008, respectively. Such forbearance period shall extend
for
up to 90 days if Richard Kall or the Company makes periodic payments to the
Investors in the aggregate amount of $500,000 as further provided in the Note
Purchase Agreements. Under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreements, the
Company also agreed to either file a post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement on Form S-3 or file a new registration statement on
an
appropriate form to reflect the changes made as a result of the transactions
occurring under the Note Purchase Agreements. In the immediate future the
Company intends to review all of its options in connection with the Amended
and
Restated Notes, including potentially restructuring the indebtedness to, among
other things, revise the financial covenants.

Options and Warrants
Options
The
Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan was adopted by its board of directors and
became effective in August, 2006. The total number of shares reserved for
issuance under this plan was 1,537,501. The number of shares reserved for
issuance under the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan is subject to an annual increase
on
the first day of each fiscal year during the term of the 2006 Stock Incentive
Plan, beginning January 1, 2007, in each case in an amount equal to the lesser
of (i) 1,000,000 shares of common stock, (ii) 5% of the outstanding shares
of
common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding year, or (iii) an
amount determined by the Company’s board of directors. Any shares of common
stock subject to an award, which for any reason expires or terminates
unexercised, are again available for issuance under the 2006 Stock Incentive
Plan. On July 23, 2008, the Company’s board of directors and shareholders voted
to increase the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2006
Stock Incentive Plan to 5,000,000.
The
2006
Stock Incentive Plan will terminate after 10 years from the effective date,
unless it is terminated earlier by the Company’s board of directors. The plan
authorizes the award of stock options, stock purchase grants, stock appreciation
rights and stock units.
The
2006
Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of both incentive stock options
that
qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and nonqualified stock
options. Incentive stock options may be granted only to the Company’s employees
or to employees of any of the Company’s parents or subsidiaries. All awards
other than incentive stock options may be granted to the Company’s employees,
officers, directors, consultants, independent contractors and advisors or
employees, officers, directors, consultants, independent contractors and
advisors of any of the Company’s parents or subsidiaries. The exercise price of
incentive stock options must be at least equal to the fair market value of
the
Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of incentive
stock options granted to 10% shareholders must be at least equal to 110% of
that
value. The exercise price of nonqualified stock options will be determined
by
the administrator of the plan when the options are granted. The term of options
granted under the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan may not exceed 10 years
and typically vest over four years, with 25% of the options vesting after 12
months and 75% vesting monthly over the remaining three years.
As
of
September 30, 2008, 4,181,897 shares were available for grant under the 2006
Stock Incentive Plan.

Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
(unaudited)
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN
48”)
—an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes
.
The
Interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed
or
expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial
statements. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an
uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position
will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the
technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial
statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit
that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification,
interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and
requires increased disclosures. At the date of adoption, and as of September
30,
2008, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax
benefits.
The
Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. The Company
is subject to U.S. federal income tax
examinations
by tax
authorities for periods after June 16, 2006, the date at which the Company
completed its reverse merger transaction. In addition, the Company files income
tax returns in the United Kingdom and Ireland for the foreign subsidiaries
located in these jurisdictions. The Company is subject to tax examinations
by
tax authorities in these jurisdictions, however, as of December 31, 2007, there
are no open foreign tax audits or inquiries relating to the Company’s foreign
subsidiaries.
The
Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions
as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has no accrued
interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2008, the Company reversed its deferred tax asset related
to
stock options and warrants totaling $904, which was reflected through paid-in
capital in the accompanying statement of stockholders’ equity. At September 30,
2008, management determined that its remaining net deferred tax assets of $762
are not realizable and recorded a full valuation allowance.
Note

Legal
Proceedings
From
time
to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising
out of its operations in the normal course of business. Except as is described
below, the Company is not currently party to any legal
proceedings
,
the
adverse outcome of which, in management’s opinion, individually or in the
aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of
operations or financial position.
On
February 7, 2007, VMdirect and DigitalFX Solutions jointly filed a lawsuit
in
the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles
against a former Affiliate of VMdirect alleging a number of complaints including
unfair business practice, misappropriation of trade secrets, slander,
intentional interference with contractual relationship, intentional interference
with prospective economic advantage and breach of contract, and seeking
compensatory and punitive damages in amounts to be proved at trial, injunctive
relief and attorneys’ fees and costs.
Reference
is made to the disclosure of this proceeding included in our Quarterly Report
on
Form 10-Q (File Number 001-33667) filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on August 14, 2008.

Since
the
filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (File Number 001-33667) filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2008, the Company has
exchanged motions, petitions, and interrogatories with the former
Affiliate.
Management
believes there exists no basis for the former Affiliate’s claims and intends to
defend this matter vigorously.
In
the
event management’s assessment of the case is incorrect, the economic impact
on the Company would be insignificant and would not materially affect its
operations.

Subsequent
Events
In
addition
to the
Change in Control as fully described in Note 1, the following are significant
subsequent events of the Company:
On
October

employees.
On
October 21, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors ratified and approved
effective as of October 17,

Elfenbein’s separation.

Forward-Looking
Statements
Statements
made in this Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) that are not historical or
current facts are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”),
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”). We intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to
the safe harbors for such statements. We wish to caution readers not to place
undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as
of
the date made. Any forward-looking statements represent management’s best
judgment as to what may occur in the future. These forward-looking statements
include the plans and objectives of management for our future growth, including
plans and objectives related to the consummation of acquisitions and future
private and public issuances of our equity and debt securities. The
forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations
that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the
foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future
economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions,
all
of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which
are
beyond our control. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be
inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking
statements included in this Form 10-Q will prove to be accurate. In light of
the
significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included
herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a
representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will
be
achieved. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statement
or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events.

Description
of Business
Corporate
History
DigitalFX
International, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Florida on January 23,
1991. Prior to November 2001, we provided intelligent message communications
services to enterprises in the travel and hospitality sectors. In November
2001,
we sold substantially all of our assets to Avery Communications, Inc. after
which we continued without material business assets, operations or revenues.
On
June 22, 2004, we consummated the transactions contemplated by a Securities
Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated June 10, 2004, by and among
our company, Keating Reverse Merger Fund, LLC (“KRM Fund”), Thurston Interests,
LLC (“Thurston”) and certain other shareholders of our company. The transactions
resulted in a change of control whereby KRM Fund became our majority
shareholder. From November 2001 through June 15, 2006, we were a public “shell”
company with nominal assets.
On
May
23, 2006, we entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with
VMdirect, L.L.C., a Nevada limited liability company (“VMdirect”), the members
of VMdirect holding a majority of its membership interests (together with all
of
the members of VMdirect, the “VMdirect Members”), and KRM Fund. The closing of
the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement occurred on June 15,
2006. At the closing, we acquired all of the outstanding membership interests
of
VMdirect (the “Interests”) from the VMdirect Members, and the VMdirect Members
contributed all of their Interests to us. In exchange, we issued to the VMdirect
Members 1,014,589 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), which, as a result of the approval by
a substantial majority of our outstanding shareholders entitled to vote and
the
approval by our board of directors on June 22, 2006, of amendments to our
articles of incorporation that (i) changed our name to DigitalFX International,
Inc., (ii) increased our authorized number of shares of common stock to
100,000,000, and (iii) adopted a 1-for-50 reverse stock split, on August 1,
2006
converted into approximately 21,150,959 shares of our common stock on a
post-reverse stock split basis.
At
the
closing, VMdirect became our wholly-owned subsidiary. The exchange transaction
was accounted for as a reverse merger (recapitalization) with VMdirect deemed
to
be the accounting acquirer, and our company deemed to be the legal
acquirer.
On
October 15, 2008, we entered into a Framework Agreement with Richard Kall,
the
Co-Manager of VM Investors, our majority shareholder, Craig Ellins, VM
Investor’s Co-Manager and our former Chief Executive Officer, President and
Chairman of our Board, and Amy Black, the President of VMdirect, pursuant to
which, among other matters, Richard Kall agreed to consummate the transactions
under certain Note Purchase Agreements dated October 15, 2008 (the “Note
Purchase Agreements”), among Richard Kall, our company, and each of Portside
Growth and Opportunity Fund, Highbridge International LLC and Iroquois Master
Fund, Ltd. (collectively the “Investors”), subject to (a) Craig Ellins, Amy
Black, Kevin Keating and Jerry Haleva resigning from all positions with the
Company and each of its subsidiaries, (b) a reduction in the size of our Board
to three directors, (c) Richard Kall’s appointment as our Chief Executive
Officer and election to our Board as Chairman, and (d) the election of Richard
Kall’s designee to the Board.
On
October 13, 2008, each of Kevin Keating and Jerry Haleva resigned from the
Board. On October 15, 2008, Craig Ellins resigned as the Chairman of the Board,
our Chief Executive Officer and President, and from all other officer positions
held with our company and each of our subsidiaries, and Amy Black resigned
as
the President of VMdirect and from all other officer positions held with our
company and each of our subsidiaries. Mr. Ellins also resigned as the Co-Manager
of VM Investors. On October 15, 2008, the Board also adopted resolutions
reducing the size of the Board to three directors, appointing Richard Kall
as
our Chief Executive Officer and electing Richard Kall as the Chairman of the
Board. Prior to the transactions contemplated under the Framework Agreement,
Craig Ellins, as our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive officer and
President, and as the Co-Manager of VM Investors, exercised, with the Board
and
our other executive officers, operational control over our company, and with
the
consent of Richard Kall, voting control. As a result of the transactions
consummated under the Framework Agreement, Richard Kall, as the sole Manager
of
VM Investors and the beneficial owner of 64.6% of the outstanding shares of
our
common stock, will exercise voting control over our company. In addition, as
the
Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Richard Kall will exercise, with
the Board and our other executive officers, operational control over our
company.
Business
Overview
We
are
presently a digital communications and social networking company that, through
a
multi-tiered affiliate program, has developed and offers The Studio, an all
in
one solution of proprietary and open source digital communication tools,
including streaming video email, instant messaging, live webcasting, podcasting,
blogging, video VOIP and digital vault asset management and storage. The Studio
gives our customers one easy solution for all online communications, and allows
them to create, manage and store their digital assets (pictures, music, videos)
with the objective of making their digital lives richer and simpler. All digital
assets stored on our servers can be shared among users and friends anywhere
in
the world.
We
differentiate ourselves with the Studio’s inclusion of technology that provides
instant transcoding (converting) of video content into different media formats,
like Windows to QuickTime, as well as the ability to easily publish video
content via numerous methods: blog, podcast, live webcast, video email, or
video
on-demand.
To
showcase the power of the Studio for other social networks or affinity based
websites, we created a social networking website,
www
.hello
World.com
,
operated by our wholly-owned subsidiary, DigitalFX Networks, LLC, a Nevada
limited liability company (“DigitalFX Networks”). Customers pay a monthly
subscription fee (ranging from $9.95 to $189.95) for an advertising free Studio
based on their streaming video and storage needs, and to participate in the
social network. DigitalFX Networks also sells as a monthly service (with fees
starting at $69) the Studio’s video-enabled web platform to small and
medium-sized businesses (“FirstStream”) through
www.FirstStream.com
.
FirstStream allows the business user to manage all incoming text or video emails
and reply with streaming video emails from their existing company domains,
and
to safely store all their digital content, manage all their email communication,
and produce live broadcasts to communicate to employees, vendors or customers
instantly and with uniformity of message, saving time and travel. These products
are primarily marketed through our wholly-owned subsidiary VMdirect which
operates a multi-tiered affiliate program and offers its “Affiliates” the tools
necessary to effectively market the Studio packages on helloWorld and
FirstStream. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, DigitalFX Solutions, LLC, a Nevada
limited liability company (“DigitalFX Solutions”), operates our website
www.digitalfxsolutions.com
,
which
offers our video-enabled web platform to enterprise-sized businesses.
Our
multi-tiered affiliate program drives the growth of our business. Rather than
using traditional advertising and marketing methods, we chose to create a
multi-tiered affiliate program to develop new customers. Affiliates earn
commissions on a monthly residual basis by acquiring new Affiliates and retail
customers for DigitalFX properties. Affiliates also earn commissions from the
sales activities of other Affiliates who they personally enroll. These rewards
are extended for up to eight generations of Affiliates, meaning that an
Affiliate earns a commission on the sales of the Affiliates they have personally
enrolled as well as on the sales of second-, third-, and fourth-generation
Affiliates, potentially eight levels deep.
We
are
currently implementing a plan of diversification that will seek to introduce
at
least one new consumer product line by early 2009 to augment our present digital
media products and, if possible, another line of consumables by third quarter
of
fiscal 2009. Our Board has recently formed a Product Selection Team, chaired
by
Richard Kall, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, which has been reviewing
potential additional product lines in, among other areas, the “green” products
area and additional digital media products. At present, we do not expect to
engage in the actual production of our products and will source new products
from third parties reflecting current trends in the MLM industry. We have not
yet reached a decision on whether we would use the vendors’ trademarks and
original packaging or purchase products under our own label. Any such decision
will depend on the strength of the vendor’s mark and other considerations
including costs.
We
have
engaged an MLM consultant and had numerous discussions with our MLM leaders
to
identify and design the most effective way to introduce our diversified business
model to our Affiliates. We intend to focus on instructing our key Affiliates
on
how to use our digital media suite to convey our revised focus to Affiliates
in
their organizations (the down-line). We anticipate that this approach should
facilitate growth of our affiliate base.

Gross
Profit
As
a
percentage of sales, gross profit decreased from 83% of sales to 76% of sales
from the three months ended September 30, 2007 to the three months ended
September 30, 2008, respectively, and from 85% of sales to 79% of sales for
the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 to the nine months ended September 30,
2007, respectively. This decrease relates to the lower margin realized on
electronic component sales and an increase in shipping costs associated with
greater international volume.
Commission
Expenses
As
a
percentage of sales, commission expenses were the same at 44% of sales for
the
three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and decreased from 43% of sales
to 42% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to the nine months
ended September 30, 2008, respectively. During the second and third quarters
of
2008, commission expenses included a one-time charge for commissions paid to
consultants for international marketing services. On an on-going basis, we
expect commission expenses as a percentage of affiliate sales to stay in the
range of 41%-42%.

Other
operating expenses increased as a percentage of revenue from 66% for the three
months ended September 30, 2007 to 73% in the corresponding period in 2008
and
49% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 64% for the corresponding
period in 2008.
The
Company has taken significant steps to control costs and reduce overhead
expenses. We have reprioritized a number of initiatives as we strive for
simplification and product solidification. As such, the Company recently revised
its personnel structure by reducing resources in non-core areas and enhancing
personnel focused on the delivery of our new initiatives. We do not believe
these revisions have inhibited growth or quality of services. In addition,
we
have decreased spending on other areas, including outside consultants, legal
and
international expansion. We expect that our other operating expenses will
decrease as a percentage of revenue through these ongoing efforts
.
Other
expense, net increased by $189 to $118 of expense for the three months ended
September 30, 2008 from $71 of income for the corresponding period in 2007
and
by $3,475 to $3,273 of expense for the nine months ending September 30, 2008
from $202 of income for the corresponding period in 2007. For the three and
nine
months ended September 30, 2008, other expense consist of financing costs,
net
of interest income, associated with the convertible notes of $127 and $555,
the
unrealized (gain) loss on investments of $(9) and $481 and the loss on
extinguishment of debt related to the restructuring of our convertible notes
of
$0 and $1,920, respectively.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our
cash
requirements are principally for working capital. Historically, we have funded
our working capital needs through operations, the sale of equity and debt
interests and through additional capital contributions by our former
members.
For
the
nine
months
ended
September 30, 2008, cash used by Operating Activities was $2,735 and consisted
of net loss of ($7,011) increased by non-cash items of $4,956 and decreased
by
$680 due to changes in other operating assets and liabilities. The latter
consisted of decreases in cash provided by, prepaid expenses, other assets,
and
cash used by accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,029, offset by
increases in cash provided by accounts receivables and inventory of
$349.
For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2007, cash used by operating activities was
$1,306 and consisted of net loss of ($971), increased by non-cash items of
$513
and decreased by $848 due to changes in other operating assets and liabilities.
The latter consisted of decreases in cash provided by accounts receivable,
prepaid expenses, inventory and affiliate payables of $1,806, net of increases
in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $958.
For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, net cash used in Investing Activities
related to the exercise of warrants to acquire an interest in SaySwap of $100
and software licenses purchased totaling $204 (including $149 of anti-spam
technology financed through a capital lease arrangement). Investing Activities
during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $2,213 included investments
in strategic partners of $1,691, investment in SaySwap of $225 and software
license purchases of $162.
For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, net cash used in Financing Activities
included proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $7 offset by the cash
repayment of $2,000 related to the restructuring of the convertible notes
($2,000 of restricted cash was also repaid as part of the restructuring of
the
convertible notes and has been reflected in the Non-Cash Investing and Financing
Activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months
ended September 30, 2008), $75 principal payment on the Amended and Restructured
Notes, and proceeds from capital lease financing of anti-spam technology of
$149, net of principal payments of $10. For the nine months ended September
30,
2008, net cash provided by Financing Activities included the exercise of stock
options and warrants totaling $38.
On
November 29, 2007, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Portside
Growth and Opportunity Fund, Highbridge International, LLC and Iroquois Master
Fund, Ltd. pursuant to which we issued an aggregate principal amount of $7.0
million of three-year senior secured convertible notes, and five-year warrants
to purchase an aggregate of 875,000 shares of our common stock, to the
Investors. The transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement
closed on November 30, 2007, with net proceeds to us of approximately $4.3
million, net of $2 million held in a collateral account for certain letters
of
credit, after payment of commissions and expenses.
This
agreement was substantially restructured on March 24, 2008, when we entered
into
an Amendment and Exchange Agreement with each of the Investors. Under the terms
of the Amendment and Exchange Agreements, we agreed, along with the Investors,
to restructure the financing consummated under the Securities Purchase Agreement
to reduce the amount of the financing to $3,000,000, with the Investors
receiving repayment of their pro-rata share of $4,000,000, including $2,000,000
held in a collateral account for certain letters of credit, through the exchange
of Existing Notes for a combination of Amended and Restated Notes and the Common
Shares, and through the exchange of Existing Warrants for Amended and Restated
Warrants. The Amended and Restated Notes have an aggregate principal amount
of
$3,000,000 and a term of three years commencing from November 30, 2007. The
Amended and Restated Warrants have a term of five years commencing from November
30, 2007 and entitle the Investors to initially purchase an aggregate of 750,002
shares of our common stock (subject to adjustment as provided in the Amended
and
Restated Warrants, including pursuant to economic anti-dilution adjustments).
The Amended and Restated Notes carry interest at 7.50% per annum on the
unpaid/unconverted principal balance, payable quarterly in cash, and are secured
on a senior basis against all of our assets. We are also required to make
aggregate monthly principal payments of $25,000, plus accrued interest thereon,
beginning July 1, 2008.
The
Amended and Restated Notes are convertible into approximately 1,500,000 shares
(subject to adjustment as provided in the Amended and Restated Notes, including
pursuant to economic anti-dilution adjustments), based on an initial conversion
price equal to $2.00 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the Amended
and Restated Notes, including pursuant to economic anti-dilution adjustments),
which shall reset on March 26, 2009 to the greater of (i) 105% of the arithmetic
average of the dollar weighted average price of our common stock over each
of
the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately
prior to March 26, 2009 and (ii) $1.00 (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock
dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, reverse stock splits or other
similar events); provided however, that in no event shall the adjusted
conversion price be greater than $3.00 (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock
dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, reverse stock splits or other
similar events). The Amended and Restated Warrants have an exercise price of
$0.959 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the Amended and Restated
Warrants, including pursuant to economic anti-dilution
adjustments).
The
Amended and Restated Notes are convertible at the option of the Investors prior
to their maturity. Additionally, beginning November 30, 2008, and provided
that
we have complied with certain equity conditions, we will be able to require
the
Investors to convert the Amended and Restated Notes to shares of our common
stock if the dollar volume weighted average price of our common stock is $2.75
(subject to adjustment as provided in the Amended and Restated Notes) for twenty
(20) out of thirty (30) consecutive trading days.
The
restructuring transaction closed on March 26, 2008. The remaining proceeds
of
approximately $2.1 million, after the payment of aggregate transaction expenses,
was used for strategic initiatives and general working capital
purposes.
Also
in
connection with the restructuring transaction, we agreed to reimburse the fund
manager of one of the Investors for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase
Agreement, including the actual and reasonable fees and disbursements of the
fund manager’s legal counsel, up to an aggregate amount of $20,000.
For
the
three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company determined that it did not
meet its financial covenants pursuant to the Amended and Restated Notes. The
Company has not received notice from the Investors about their intent to request
that the Company redeem any or all of the outstanding Amended and Restated
Notes.
October
15, 2008, Portside Growth and Opportunity fund, Highbridge International LLC
and
Iroquois Master Fund, Ltd. (collectively the “Investors”), along with Richard
Kall and our company, entered into certain Note Purchase Agreements pursuant
to
which Richard Kall agreed to purchase an aggregate of $350,000 of the unpaid
principal amount of the Amended and Restated Notes, Amended and Restated
Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 90,517 shares of our common stock, and
an
aggregate of 120,000 shares of our common stock (collectively the “Investor
Securities”) previously issued to the Investors. Pursuant to the terms of the
Note Purchase Agreements, as additional consideration for Richard Kall’s
purchase of the Investor Securities, the Investors and Richard Kall agreed
to
forbear for a period of 30 days from taking any action to enforce their rights
as a result of the event of default that occurred on June 30 and September
30,
2008 with respect to our failure to satisfy one or more financial covenants
under the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Notes for the fiscal
quarters ended June 30 and September 30, 2008, respectively. Such forbearance
period shall extend for up to 90 days if Richard Kall or the Company makes
periodic payments to the Investors in the aggregate amount of $500,000 as
further provided in the Note Purchase Agreements. In the immediate future we
intend to review all of our options in connection with the Amended and Restated
Notes, including potentially restructuring the indebtedness to, among other
things, revise the financial covenants.
In
addition, we are currently involved in negotiations with Richard Kall, our
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to provide working capital through a
preferred stock equity financing. On November 14, 2008, we received $500,000
from Mr. Kall as an advance on the contemplated financing.
While
there are currently no other definitive plans for debt or equity financing,
we
intend to vigorously pursue external financing options during the last quarter
of 2008. However, there is no assurance that external financing will be
available to us, or if available, that it would be available on terms acceptable
to us.
Our
business benefits from low capital expenditure requirements. Our capital
expenditures for 2008 primarily relate to enhancements for software
applications.
Backlog
Backlog
is only relevant to our affiliate business packages and merchandise sales,
as
all subscription services are delivered upon enrollment or at monthly renewal.
We do not believe that backlog is a meaningful indicator of future business
prospects due to the short period of time from affiliate business package and
merchandise order to product shipment. Most products are shipped one to two
days
from the date ordered; therefore, backlog information is not material to an
understanding of our business.

Critical
Accounting Policies
We
prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and revenue and expenses during the year. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. We consider the following policies to be most
critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our
financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact our results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Revenue
Recognition
We
generate revenue through (i) sales of affiliate business packages and selling
aids to Affiliates which include cameras, sales literature, and training videos,
(ii) sales of monthly subscriptions to retail customers and Affiliates with
a
wide spectrum of streaming video content as well as an integrated suite of
streaming media applications, including video email, video chat, and live
web-casting, (iii) sales of branded apparel and merchandise, (iv) sales of
electronic components, and (v) hosting conferences and events.
Affiliate
Business Packages
We
recognize revenue from the sales of affiliate business packages and selling
aids, including shipping revenue, in accordance with SAB No. 104,
“Revenue
Recognition
,”
when
persuasive evidence of an order arrangement exists, delivery has occurred,
the
sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Generally, these criteria are met at the time the product is shipped to our
customers when title and risk of loss have transferred. We consider all
deliverables to be met at this point. Costs incurred for the shipping and
handling of our products are recorded as cost of sales as incurred.
Allowances
for subsequent customer returns of affiliate business packages are provided
when
revenues are recorded. Affiliate business packages returned within the first
30
days of purchase are generally refunded at 90 percent of the sales price.
Returned products that were damaged during shipment to the customer are replaced
immediately at our expense. On a monthly basis, we calculate a sales allowance
which is an estimate of refunds for package returns that are within the 30
day
time frame that have not yet been returned or processed. The estimate is based
on an analysis of the historical rate of package returns using data from the
four months preceding the date of measurement. We have found that this method
approximates actual returns for the next 30 days. Increases or decreases to
the
sales allowance are charged to revenue.
Monthly
Subscriptions
We
sell
subscriptions for our internet-based studio suite of products through a unique
multi-tiered affiliate program using non-related independent distributors,
known
as Affiliates. We also market subscriptions directly to retail customers who
purchase them for their personal use. We recognize revenue when all of the
criteria of SAB No. 104 referred to above are met, which is when the
subscription is initiated, and then monthly based on an automatic renewal.
Our
services are provided immediately upon enrollment and continue until cancelled.
The recurring subscription can be cancelled at any time in writing. If cancelled
within the first 30 days after enrollment, 90% of the fee is refunded, pro-rated
for the number of days not used during the month. If a subscription is cancelled
after the first month of service, a full refund is issued for the month if
the
cancellation is received in writing within 48 hours of the renewal billing.
No
refund is issued if a subscription is cancelled more than 48 hours after the
renewal billing for the month. We record an allowance for subscription
cancellations based on an analysis of historical data for the four months
preceding the date of measurement. We apply a cancellation percentage to
subscription revenue that is subject to cancellation within the first 30 days
of
enrollment or 48 hours of renewal. The accuracy of these estimates is dependent
on the rate of future cancellations being consistent with the historical rate.
Increases or decreases to the sales allowance are charged to
revenue.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
Our
receivables consist entirely of receivables from credit card companies, arising
from the sale of product and services to our customers. We do not record an
allowance for doubtful accounts on these receivables, as monies processed by
credit card processors are collected 100% within three to five
days.
Inventories
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost or market. They are written down, as required,
to provide for estimated obsolete or not salable inventory based on assumptions
about future demand for our products and market conditions. If future demand
and
market conditions are less favorable than management’s assumptions, additional
inventory write-downs could be required. Likewise, favorable future demand
and
market conditions could positively impact future operating results if
written-off inventory is sold.
Stock-Based
Compensation
We
periodically issue stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees
in
non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. We
adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” effective
January 1, 2006, and are using the modified prospective method in which
compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based
on
the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after
the
effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all awards
granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R that remain
unvested on the effective date. We account for stock option and warrant grants
issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with EITF No. 96-18:
“Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for
Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services,” and EITF 00-18
“Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments
Granted to Other Than Employees” whereby the fair value of the stock
compensation is based on the measurement date as determined at either a) the
date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which
the necessary performance to earn the equity instrument is
complete.
We
recognize compensation cost for equity-based compensation for all new or
modified grants issued after December 31, 2005. In addition, commencing January
1, 2006, we recognized the unvested portion of the grant date fair value of
awards issued prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123R based on the fair value
previously calculated for disclosure purposes over the remaining vesting period
of the outstanding stock options and warrants.
We
estimate the fair value of stock options pursuant to SFAS No. 123R using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including
the expected price volatility of the underlying stock and the expected life
of
stock options. Projected data related to the expected volatility of stock
options is based on the average volatility of the trading prices of comparable
companies and the expected life of stock options is based upon the average
term
and vesting schedules of the options. Changes in these subjective assumptions
can materially affect the fair value of the estimate, and therefore the existing
valuation models do not provide a precise measure of the fair value of our
employee stock options.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (R), “Business
Combinations” (FAS 141(R)), which establishes accounting principles and
disclosure requirements for all transactions in which a company obtains control
over another business. Statement 141 (R) applies prospectively to 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. Earlier
adoption is prohibited.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160
establishes accounting and reporting standards that require that the ownership
interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly
identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial
position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity; the amount of
consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling
interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated
statement of income; and changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the
parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted
for consistently. SFAS No. 160 also requires that any retained noncontrolling
equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value
when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also sets forth the disclosure
requirements to identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent
and
the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities
that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit
organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding
noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a
subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods
within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier
adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 must be applied prospectively as of the
beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the
presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure
requirements are applied retrospectively for all periods presented.
In
March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 (FAS 161), “Disclosures About Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FAS 133.” FAS 161 requires
qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives,
quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on
derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent
features in derivative agreements. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2008. We do not expect the implementation of FAS
161 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
We
do not
believe that the adoption of the above recent pronouncements will have a
material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position,
or cash flows.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have
no off-balance sheet arrangements or financing activities with special purpose
entities.
RISK
FACTORS
INVESTING
IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS AND ALL OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN
THIS
REPORT BEFORE PURCHASING SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
RISKS OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND/OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COULD BE MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECTED. IN THAT CASE, THE TRADING PRICE
OF
OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE, AND YOU MAY LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR
INVESTMENT.
RISKS
RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
Our
operating results may fluctuate significantly based on customer and Affiliate
acceptance of our products.
Management
expects that we will experience substantial variations in our net sales and
operating results from quarter to quarter due to customer acceptance of our
products. We rely on sales by our Affiliates to generate significant revenues
for us. If customers don’t accept our products, our sales and revenues would
decline, resulting in a reduction in our operating income.
Customer
interest for our products could also be impacted by the timing of our
introduction of new products. If our competitors introduce new products or
free
products around the same time that we issue new products, and if such competing
products are superior to our own, customers’ desire for our products could
decrease, resulting in a decrease in our sales and revenues. To the extent
that
we introduce new products and customers decide not to migrate to our new
products from our older products, our revenues could be negatively impacted
due
to the loss of revenue from those customers. In the event that our newer
products do not sell as well as our older products, we could also experience
a
reduction in our revenues and operating income.
As
a
result of fluctuations in our revenue and operating expenses that may occur,
management believes that period-to-period comparisons of our results of
operations are not a good indication of our future performance.
If
we do not successfully generate additional products and services, or if such
products and services are developed but not successfully commercialized, we
could lose revenue opportunities.
Currently,
our primary business is the sale of our Studio suite of products to our
Affiliates. Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to expand our
product and service offerings. To that end we have engage in the process of
identifying new product opportunities to provide additional products and related
services to our customers. The process of identifying and commercializing new
products is complex and uncertain, and if we fail to accurately predict
customers’ changing needs and emerging technological trends our business could
be harmed. We may have to commit significant resources to commercializing new
products before knowing whether our investments will result in products the
market will accept. Furthermore, we may not execute successfully on
commercializing those products because of errors in product planning or timing,
technical hurdles that we fail to overcome in a timely fashion, or a lack of
appropriate resources. This could result in competitors providing those
solutions before we do and a reduction in net sales and earnings.
The
success of new products depends on several factors, including proper new product
definition, timely completion and introduction of these products,
differentiation of new products from those of our competitors, and market
acceptance of these products. There can be no assurance that we will
successfully identify new product opportunities, develop and bring new products
to market in a timely manner, or achieve market acceptance of our products
or
that products and technologies developed by others will not render our products
or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive.
While
we previously achieved an operating profit, we have a history of operating
losses and there can be no assurance that we can achieve, maintain or increase
profitability.
While
we
previously achieved operating profits, we did not achieve an operating profit
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, and we have a history of operating
losses. Given the competitive and evolving nature of the industry in which
we
operate, the technical difficulties we experienced with version 5.0 of the
DigitalFX Studio product, and potential technical difficulties we may encounter
in the future, we may not be able to achieve, sustain or increase profitability
and our failure to do so would adversely affect our business, including our
ability to raise additional funds. In addition, to the extent we introduce
new
products that are not accepted by the market, we would continue to experience
operating losses. If we continue to experience operating losses through 2009,
our shares may be delisted from the American Stock Exchange.
We
may not be able to effectively manage our growth.
Our
strategy envisions growing our business. To date, our growth has been derived
primarily from the growth of our multi-tiered Affiliate base and we intend
to
continue to employ this growth strategy. To manage anticipated growth, we plan
to expand our technology to handle increasing volume on our websites and to
expand our administrative and marketing organizations to accommodate larger
numbers of our Affiliates. We must also effectively manage our relationships
with the increasing number of retail customers/users of our products. We will
need to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees. These processes are
time consuming and expensive, will increase management responsibilities and
will
divert management attention. In addition, we have gone through a complete
restructuring of senior management and our the new management is focused on
turning our company around. Any growth in or expansion of our business is likely
to continue to place a strain on our management and administrative resources,
infrastructure and systems. We cannot assure you that we will be able
to:
·
|
sufficiently
and timely improve our technology to handle increasing volume on
our
websites;
|
·
|
expand
our administrative and marketing systems effectively, efficiently
or in a
timely manner to accommodate increasing numbers of our Affiliates;
or
|
·
|
allocate
our human resources optimally.
|
Our
inability or failure to manage our growth and expansion effectively could result
in strained Affiliate and customer relationships based on dissatisfaction with
our service to these groups, our failure to meet demand for our products and/or
increased expenses to us to resolve these issues, and a consequent significant
decrease in the number of our Affiliates and end users. Any significant decrease
in our Affiliate base or the number of retail customers, or the election of
new
Affiliates to sign on for lower level packages would result in a decrease in
revenues.
If
we continue to experience technological difficulties with our products our
Affiliate base could shrink, customer growth could decrease and our business
could suffer.
In
November 2006, we released the 5.0 version of the DigitalFX Studio that included
expanded functionality and features. The testing we conducted did not reveal
various technical difficulties that remained with the product. In addition,
the
5.0 version rolled out in November 2006 did not contain all of the enhancements
that our Affiliates were expecting due to development delays. The result was
a
product with lower than expected functionality and operating difficulties.
As a
result of these issues, our Affiliate network has not marketed our products
and
the business opportunity as widely as projected in our plan. While we have
taken
steps to ameliorate these difficulties, to the extent that we continue to
encounter technical difficulties, and to the extent that enhancements to the
products we release or new products have technical difficulties, the reputation
of our products could suffer, our Affiliate base could shrink and our ability
to
generate new customers, and consequently revenue, would be negatively impacted.
Our ability to grow our business would also be negatively impacted.
We
are
presently reviewing other technologies which could replace our core technology.
We may experience interruptions in service while we are integrating the new
service or a period of instability if the new technology cannot be scaled
up.
Eighty-three
percent of our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 have
been
derived from sales of our products and services to our Affiliates, and our
future success depends on our ability to grow our Affiliate base, as well as
to
expand our retail subscriptions and initiate advertising
revenue.
To
date,
our revenue growth has been derived primarily from the growth of our
multi-tiered Affiliate base. Rather than using traditional advertising and
sales
methods, we chose to create a multi-tiered affiliate program to develop new
customers. Affiliates earn retail commissions on a monthly residual basis by
acquiring new customers for us. Affiliates earn additional commissions from
the
sales activities of Affiliates who they personally enroll. These rewards are
extended for up to eight generations of Affiliates, meaning that an Affiliate
earns a commission on the sales of the Affiliates they have personally enrolled
as well as on the sales of second-, third-, and fourth-generation Affiliates,
potentially eight levels deep. Our Affiliate compensation plan is structured
on
a 3x8 matrix, meaning Affiliates can each enroll three Affiliates underneath
themselves before they begin to build their next organizational level. The
layers of three continue down a total of eight levels.
Our
success and the planned growth and expansion of our business depend on us
achieving greater and broader acceptance of our products and expanding our
customer base. There can be no assurance that customers will subscribe to our
product offerings or that we will continue to expand our customer base. Though
we plan to continue to provide tools to our Affiliates to enable them to
generate sales, we cannot guarantee that the time and resources we spend on
these efforts will generate a commensurate increase in users of our product
offerings. If we are unable to effectively market or expand our product
offerings, and if our Affiliate enrollment does not continue to grow, we will
be
unable to grow and expand our business or implement our business strategy.
This
could materially impair our ability to increase sales and revenue and materially
and adversely affect our margins, which could harm our business and cause our
stock price to decline.
Our
future success depends largely upon our ability to attract and retain a large
active base of Affiliates who purchase and sell our products. We cannot give
any
assurances that the productivity of our Affiliates will continue at their
current levels or increase in the future. Several factors affect our ability
to
attract and retain a significant number of Affiliates, including:
·
|
on-going
motivation of our Affiliates;
|
·
|
general
economic conditions;
|
·
|
significant
changes in the amount of commissions
paid;
|
·
|
public
perception and acceptance of direct
selling;
|
·
|
public
perception and acceptance of us and our
products;
|
·
|
the
limited number of people interested in pursuing direct selling as
a
business;
|
·
|
our
ability to provide proprietary quality-driven products that the market
demands; and
|
·
|
competition
in recruiting and retaining active
Affiliates.
|
Our
ability to conduct business, particularly in international markets, may be
affected by political, economic, legal and regulatory risks, which could
adversely affect the expansion of our business in those
markets.
Our
ability to capitalize on growth in new international markets and to maintain
the
current level of operations in our existing international markets is exposed
to
risks associated with international operations, including:
·
|
the
possibility that a foreign government might ban or severely restrict
our
business method of selling through our Affiliates, or that local
civil
unrest, political instability or changes in diplomatic or trade
relationships might disrupt our operations in an international
market;
|
·
|
the
possibility that a government authority might impose legal, tax or
other
financial burdens on Affiliates, as direct sellers, or on our company
due,
for example, to the structure of our operations in various
markets;
|
·
|
the
possibility that a government authority might challenge the status
of our
Affiliates as independent contractors or impose employment or social
taxes
on our Affiliates;
|
·
|
our
ability to staff and manage international
operations;
|
·
|
handling
the various accounting, tax and legal complexities arising from our
international operations; and
|
·
|
understanding
cultural differences affecting non-U.S.
customers.
|
We
currently conduct activities in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand,
the United Kingdom, Germany and Spain. We have not been affected in the past by
any of the potential political, legal or regulatory risks identified above.
While we do not consider these risks to be material in the foreign countries
in
which we currently operate, they may be material in other countries where we
may
expand our business.
We
are
also subject to the risk that due to legislative or regulatory changes in one
or
more of our present or future markets, our marketing system could be found
not
to comply with applicable laws and regulations or may be prohibited. Failure
to
comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in the imposition
of
legal fines and/or penalties which would increase our operating costs. We may
also be required to comply with directives or orders from various courts or
applicable regulatory bodies to conform to the requirements of new legislation
or regulation, which would detract management’s attention from the operation of
our business. Further we could be prohibited from distributing products through
our marketing system or may be required to modify our marketing
system.
Our
services are priced in local currency. As a result, our financial results could
be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or
weak economic conditions in foreign markets. We do not currently engage in
hedging activities or other actions to decrease fluctuations in operating
results due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, although we may
do so
when the amount of revenue obtained from sources outside of the United States
becomes significant.
We
also face legal and regulatory risks in the United States, the affect of which
could reduce our sales and revenues.
Our
marketing program is subject to a number of federal and state regulations
administered by the Federal Trade Commission and various state agencies in
the
United States, directed at preventing fraudulent or deceptive schemes by
ensuring that product sales are made to consumers of the products and that
compensation, recognition, and advancement within the marketing organization
are
based on the sale of products rather than investment in the organization or
other non-sales-related criteria. These regulatory requirements do not include
“bright line” rules and are inherently fact-based. Thus, even though we believe
that our marketing program complies with applicable federal and state laws
or
regulations, we are subject to the risk that a governmental agency or court
could determine that we have failed to meet these requirements in a particular
case. Such an adverse determination could require us to make modifications
to
our marketing system, increasing our operating expenses. The negative publicity
associated with such an adverse determination could also reduce Affiliate and
end user demand for our products, which would consequently reduce our sales
and
revenues.
If
we incur substantial liability from litigation, complaints, or enforcement
actions resulting from misconduct by our multi-level Affiliates, our financial
condition could suffer.
Although
we use various means to address misconduct by our multi-level Affiliates,
including maintaining policies and procedures to govern the conduct of our
Affiliates and conducting training seminars, it is still difficult to detect
and
correct all instances of misconduct. Violations of our policies and procedures
by our Affiliates could lead to litigation, formal or informal complaints,
enforcement actions, and inquiries by various federal, state, or foreign
regulatory authorities against us and/or our Affiliates. Litigation, complaints,
and enforcement actions involving us and our Affiliates could consume
considerable amounts of financial and other corporate resources, which could
have a negative impact on our sales, revenue, profitability and growth
prospects.
We
have
not been, and are not currently, subject to any material litigation, complaint
or enforcement action regarding Affiliate misconduct by any federal, state
or
foreign regulatory authority.
We
may be unable to compete successfully against existing and future competitors,
which could decrease our revenue and margins and harm our
business.
The
digital communications and social networking industries are highly competitive.
Our future growth and financial success depend on our ability to further
penetrate and expand our user base, as well as our ability to grow our revenue
models. Our competitors possess greater resources than we do and in many cases
are owned by companies with broader business lines. For example, we encounter
competition in the social networking space from
H
www.myspace.com
H
,
a
company acquired by News Corporation, and we offer video instant messaging
services similar to those offered at
H
www.skype.com
H
,
a
subsidiary of eBay, Inc. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
maintain our growth rate or increase our market share in our industry at the
expense of existing competitors.
We
may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights which
would affect our ability to compete in our industry.
Our
intellectual property relates to the initiation, receipt and management of
digital communications. We rely in part on trade secret, unfair competition,
trade dress and trademark law to protect our rights to certain aspects of our
intellectual property, including our software technologies, domain names and
recognized trademarks, all of which we believe are important to the success
of
our products and our competitive position. There can be no assurance that any
of
our trademark applications will result in the issuance of a registered
trademark, or that any trademark granted will be effective in thwarting
competition or be held valid if subsequently challenged. In addition, there
can
be no assurance that the actions taken by us to protect our proprietary rights
will be adequate to prevent imitation of our products, that our proprietary
information will not become known to competitors, that we can meaningfully
protect our rights to unpatented proprietary information or that others will
not
independently develop substantially equivalent or better products that do not
infringe on our intellectual property rights.
We
could
be required to devote substantial resources to enforce and protect our
intellectual property, which could divert our resources from the conduct of
our
business and result in increased expenses. In addition, an adverse determination
in litigation could subject us to the loss of our rights to particular
intellectual property, could require us to grant licenses to third parties,
could prevent us from selling or using certain aspects of our products or could
subject us to substantial liability, any of which could reduce our sales and/or
result in the entry of additional competitors into our industry.
We
may become subject to litigation for infringing the intellectual property rights
of others the affect of which could cause us to cease marketing and exploiting
our products.
Others
may initiate claims against us for infringing on their intellectual property
rights. We may be subject to costly litigation relating to such infringement
claims and we may be required to pay compensatory and punitive damages or
license fees if we settle or are found culpable in such litigation. In addition,
we may be precluded from offering products that rely on intellectual property
that is found to have been infringed by us. We also may be required to cease
offering the affected products while a determination as to infringement is
considered and could eventually be required to modify our products to cease
the
infringing activity. These developments could cause a decrease in our operating
income and reduce our available cash flow, which could harm our business and
cause our stock price to decline.
We
may have to expend significant resources developing alternative technologies
in
the event that third party licenses for intellectual property upon which our
business depends are not available or are not available on terms acceptable
to
us.
We
rely
on certain intellectual property licensed from third parties and may be required
to license additional products from third parties in the future. There can
be no
assurance that these third party licenses will be available or will continue
to
be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Our inability to enter into
and maintain any license necessary for the conduct of our business could result
in our expenditure of significant capital to develop or obtain alternate
technologies and to integrate such alternate technologies into our current
products, or could result in our cessation of the development or sales of
products for which such licenses are necessary.
We
may be unable to attract and retain qualified, experienced, highly skilled
personnel, which could adversely affect the implementation of our business
plan.
Our
success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to attract, retain
and
motivate skilled and qualified personnel. In particular, we are heavily
dependent on the continued services of Richard Kall and the other members of
our
senior management team. Mr. Kall has been widely recognized as a leader in
the
Network Marketing industry with over 30 years of experience. We do not have
long-term employment agreements with most members of our senior management
team,
each of whom may voluntarily terminate his or her employment with us at any
time. Following any termination of employment, those employees without
employment agreements would not be subject to any non-competition covenants
or
non-solicitation covenants. The loss of any key employee, including members
of
our senior management team, could result in a decrease in the efficacy with
which we implement our business plan due to the loss of our experienced
managers, increased competition in our industry and could negatively impact
our
sales and marketing operations. The loss of Mr. Kall as a leader in our company
could have a detrimental effect on the future of our company. Our inability
to
attract highly skilled personnel with sufficient experience in our industry
could result in less innovation in our products and a consequent decrease in
our
competitive position, and a decrease in the quality of our service to our
Affiliates and end users and a consequent decrease in our sales, revenue and
operating income.
Our
senior management had limited experience managing a publicly traded company
prior to serving as our executive officers. This limited experience may divert
our management’s attention from operations and harm our
business.
Our
management team had limited experience managing the reporting requirements
of
the federal securities laws prior to serving as our executive officers.
Management will be required to implement appropriate programs and policies
to
comply with existing disclosure requirements and to respond to increased
reporting requirements pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These
increased requirements include the preparation of an internal report which
states the responsibility of management for establishing and maintaining an
adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting
and
containing an assessment, as of the end of each fiscal year, of the
effectiveness of the internal control structure and procedures for financial
reporting. Management’s efforts to familiarize itself with and to implement
appropriate procedures to comply with the disclosure requirements of the federal
securities laws could divert its attention from the operation of our business.
Management’s failure to comply with the disclosure requirements of the federal
securities laws could lead to the imposition of fines and penalties by the
SEC
or the cessation of trading of our common stock on The American Stock Exchange
(“AMEX”).
If
we are not able to respond to the adoption of technological innovation in our
industry and changes in consumer demand, our products will cease to be
competitive, which could result in a decrease in revenue and harm our
business.
Our
future success will depend, in part, on our ability to keep up with changes
in
consumer tastes, offer seamless compatibility with other systems or applications
offered by industry leaders, and our continued ability to differentiate our
products through implementation of new technologies. We may not, however, be
able to successfully do so, and our competitors may be able to implement new
technologies at a much lower cost. These types of developments could render
our
products less competitive and possibly eliminate any differentiating advantage
that we might hold at the present time.
RISKS
RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK
There
is limited trading, and consequently limited liquidity, of our common
stock.
Prior
to
August 23, 2007, bid and ask prices for shares of our common stock were quoted
on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “DFXN.” On August 23, 2007, our
common stock began trading on AMEX. Although our common stock is quoted on
AMEX,
there is limited trading of our common stock and our common stock is not broadly
followed by securities analysts. The average daily volume of our common stock
as
reported on AMEX for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008 was
approximately 12,500 shares. Consequently, shareholders may find it difficult
to
sell shares of our common stock.
While
we
are hopeful that we will command the interest of a greater number of investors
and analysts, more active trading of our common stock may never develop or
be
maintained. More active trading generally results in lower price volatility
and
more efficient execution of buy and sell orders. The absence of active trading
reduces the liquidity of our common stock. As a result of the lack of trading
activity, the quoted price for our common stock on AMEX is not necessarily
a
reliable indicator of its fair market value. Further, if we cease to be traded,
holders of our common stock would find it more difficult to dispose of, or
to
obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, our common stock, and
the
market value of our common stock would likely decline.
On
October 23, 2008 we provided a plan to the Listing Department of the American
Stock Exchange advising AMEX of action we will take to regain compliance with
AMEX’s continued listing standards. The plan remains subject to review and
acceptance by AMEX. If accepted, the plan will continue to be subject to
periodic review to determine whether we are making progress consistent with
the
plan. If the plan is not accepted, or if we do not make progress consistent
with
the plan, AMEX may initiate delisting procedures as appropriate.
The
market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and subject
to
wide fluctuations, and you may be unable to resell your shares at or above
the
price at which you purchased such shares.
The
market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could
be
subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond
our control, including announcements of new products or services by our
competitors. In addition, the market price of our common stock could be subject
to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors,
including:
·
|
quarterly
variations in our revenues and operating
expenses;
|
·
|
developments
in the financial markets, and the worldwide or regional
economies;
|
·
|
announcements
of innovations or new products or services by us or our
competitors;
|
·
|
fluctuations
in merchant credit card interest
rates;
|
·
|
significant
sales of our common stock or other securities in the open market;
and
|
·
|
changes
in accounting principles.
|
In
the
past, shareholders have often instituted securities class action litigation
after periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities. If a
shareholder were to file any such class action suit against us, we would incur
substantial legal fees and our management’s attention and resources would be
diverted from operating our business to respond to the litigation, which could
impact our productivity and profitability.
Substantial
future sales of our common stock in the public market could cause our stock
price to fall.
Upon
the
effectiveness of any registration statement that we may file with respect to
the
resale of shares held by our shareholders, a significant number of our shares
of
common stock may become eligible for sale, or as specified below, these shares
could be sold without any restrictions pursuant to other exceptions under the
securities laws. The sale of these shares could depress the market price of
our
common stock. Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock in
the
open market could harm the market price of our common stock. A reduced market
price for our shares could make it more difficult to raise funds through future
offerings of common stock.
On
November 30, 2007, upon the expiration of the lock up agreements restricting
sales by the selling shareholders listed in the prospectus included on the
post-effective amendment to the registration statement on Form SB-2 we filed
with the SEC on May 22, 2007, additional shares of our common stock became
eligible for unrestricted resale. As additional shares of our common stock
become available for resale in the open market (including shares issued upon
the
exercise of our outstanding options and warrants), the supply of our publicly
traded shares will increase, which could decrease its price.
Some
of
our shares may also be offered from time to time in the open market pursuant
to
Rule 144, and these sales may have a depressive effect on the market price
of
our shares. In general, a non-affiliate who has held restricted shares for
a
period of six months may sell an unrestricted number of shares of our common
stock into the market.
The
sale of securities by us in any equity or debt financing could result in
dilution to our existing shareholders and have a material adverse effect on
our
earnings.
Any
sale
of common or convertible preferred stock by us in a future private placement
offering could result in dilution to the existing shareholders as a direct
result of our issuance of additional shares of our capital stock. In addition,
our business strategy may include expansion through internal growth, by
acquiring complementary businesses, by acquiring or licensing additional brands,
or by establishing strategic relationships with targeted customers and
suppliers. In order to do so, or to finance the cost of our other activities,
we
may issue additional equity securities that could dilute our shareholders’ stock
ownership. We may also assume additional debt and incur impairment losses
related to goodwill and other tangible assets if we acquire another company
and
this could negatively impact our earnings and results of
operations.
We
have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends for
the
foreseeable future, and any return on investment may be limited to potential
future appreciation on the value of our common stock.
We
currently intend to retain any future earnings to support the development and
expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the
foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the
discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors,
including without limitation, our financial condition, operating results, cash
needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a
party to at the time. To the extent we do not pay dividends, our stock may
be
less valuable because a return on investment will only occur if and to the
extent our stock price appreciates, which may never occur. In addition,
investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation
as
the only way to realize their investment, and if the price of our stock does
not
appreciate, then there will be no return on investment. Investors seeking cash
dividends should not purchase our common stock.
Our
officers, directors and principal shareholders, controlling approximately 69%
of
our outstanding common stock, can exert significant influence over us and may
make decisions that are not in the best interests of all
shareholders.
Our
officers, directors and principal shareholders collectively control
approximately 69% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these
shareholders will be able to affect the outcome of, or exert significant
influence over, all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the
election and removal of directors and any change in control. In particular,
this
concentration of ownership of our common stock could have the effect of delaying
or preventing a change of control of us or otherwise discouraging or preventing
a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us. This, in turn,
could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. It could
also prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over the market prices
for their shares of common stock. Moreover, the interests of this concentration
of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of
other shareholders, and accordingly, they could cause us to enter into
transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider.
Anti-takeover
provisions may limit the ability of another party to acquire us, which could
cause our stock price to decline.
Our
articles of incorporation, as amended, our bylaws and Florida law contain
provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a third party from acquiring
us, even if doing so may be beneficial to our shareholders. In addition, these
provisions could limit the price investors would be willing to pay in the future
for shares of our common stock.

Controls
And Procedures
As
of
September 30, 2008, the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted
an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the 1934 Act.
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective.
There
was
no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most
recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

Legal
Proceedings
Except
as
described below, we are not involved in any legal proceedings that require
disclosure in this report.
From
time
to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of
our
operations in the normal course of business. Except as is described below,
we
are not currently party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which,
in management’s opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position.
On
February 7, 2007, VMdirect and DigitalFX Solutions jointly filed a lawsuit
in
the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles
against a former Affiliate of VMdirect alleging a number of complaints including
unfair business practice, misappropriation of trade secrets, slander,
intentional interference with contractual relationship, intentional interference
with prospective economic advantage and breach of contract, and seeking
compensatory and punitive damages in amounts to be proved at trial, injunctive
relief and attorneys’ fees and costs. Reference is made to the disclosure of
this proceeding included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (File Number
001-33667) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14,
2008.
Since
the
filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (File Number 001-33667) filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2008, the Company has
exchanged motions, petitions, and interrogatories with the former
Affiliate.
Management
believes there exists no basis for the former Affiliate’s claims and intends to
defend this matter vigorously. In the event our management’s assessment of the
case is incorrect, or the former Affiliate actually obtains a favorable judgment
for the claimed damages, the economic impact on us would be insignificant and
would not materially affect our operations.
