Our Business
 
Narrowstep Inc. is a pioneer in the field of internet-based video content delivery.  Our mission is to host a global marketplace where we, for our customers, distribute channels of video-based content and provide related services, over the internet.  Our system, which we have termed the Television Operating System - TelvOS, enables comprehensive delivery of video content and television-like programming to mobile, wireless, internet, broadband and broadcast services.  Our system provides a platform to enable owners and users of video content to reach specific audiences by “Narrowcasting” – targeting delivery of specific content to interested groups.  We believe Narrowcasting provides new business opportunities for content providers to build commercial channels by creating a new model for delivering content.  In addition to enabling delivery of content, the Narrowstep platform enables our clients to commercialize video-based content.  This can be achieved through directed advertising, sponsorship, pay-per-view, subscription, microcharging and/or ecommerce.

Risk Factors
 
The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face.  Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business.
 
Risks Relating to Our Business

We have a brief operating history which makes it difficult to evaluate our business and predict our success.

Narrowstep Inc. was incorporated as a start-up business on May 9, 2002. As a result, we have a brief operating history upon which to evaluate our business and prospects. Our historical results of operations are limited, so they may not give an accurate indication of our future results of operations or prospects. We are in an early stage of operations and we face risks and uncertainties relating to our ability to successfully implement our business strategy. Our prospects must be considered in light of these risks and the expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in new and rapidly evolving businesses, such as internet-based video content. These difficulties can include:

·  
commercializing new technology;
·  
educating the market;
·  
finding early adopters;
·  
getting large customers to try the product;
·  
increasing system capacity;
·  
developing and enhancing software products with limited resources;
·  
hiring and maintaining key employees with the correct skills;
·  
the time and effort needed to market the company and products;
·  
building infrastructure to support future growth;
·  
setting up and working effective channels of distribution; and
·  
capital raising to fund operations through to breakeven.

We may not be successful in meeting the challenges we face. If we are unable to do so, our business will not be successful and the value of our common stock will decline.

We have a history of losses, are not currently profitable and anticipate future losses.

Our operating expenses have exceeded our revenues in each quarter since inception.  We had an accumulated deficit of approximately $19.6 million as of February 28, 2007 and $12.5 million as of February 28, 2006. Although our revenues have grown significantly since 2002, this growth may not be sustainable or indicative of future results of operations. We intend to continue to invest in internal expansion, infrastructure, strategic acquisitions, integration of any acquired companies into our existing operations, and our sales and marketing efforts. We cannot be certain when we will operate profitably, if ever.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.  As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the price of our stock.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed. On May 24, 2007, in connection with its audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2007, Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C., our independent registered public accounting firm, informed us and our audit committee of certain deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that they considered to be material and non-material weaknesses. The material weaknesses were as follows:

·  
We did not record the stock-based compensation expense on certain stock options, issued to one of our directors, on a timely basis. As a result of this, our third quarter interim financial statements were misstated.

The non-material weaknesses were as follows:
 
3

 
·  
We did not record a sufficient allowance for bad debts related to a customer’s accounts receivable balance that was in question.

·  
We were recording invoices billed to certain customers in such a manner that the result was to recognize revenues on a cash basis, which is not in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States.

Inferior internal controls could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and could also cause our current and potential stockholders to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the price of our stock.

We will need to obtain additional capital in the future and if we are unable to do so on acceptable terms, or at the appropriate time, we may not be able to continue to develop and market our products and services, or even to continue as a going concern.

We do not currently generate revenues sufficient to operate our business and do not believe we will do so in the foreseeable future. As a result, we must rely on our ability to raise capital from outside sources in order to continue operations in the long term. We will seek to raise additional capital through various financing alternatives, including equity or possibly debt financings or corporate partnering arrangements. However, we may not be able to raise additional needed capital on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If we do not receive an adequate amount of additional financing in the future, we may not have sufficient funds to further develop and market our products and services, or even to continue as a going concern.

We have received an opinion from our independent registered public accounting firm expressing doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered public accounting firm noted in their report accompanying our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 that we have reported significant losses from operations and require additional financing to fund future operations and stated that those conditions raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  We cannot assure you that our plans to address these matters will be successful.  This doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern could adversely affect our ability to obtain additional financing at favorable terms, if at all, as such an opinion may cause investors to lose faith in our long-term prospects. If we cannot successfully continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose their entire investment in us.

If the internet-based video content market does not grow, we will not be successful.

The market for our products and services is new and rapidly evolving. As a company in the internet-based video content delivery field, our business model is based on an expectation that demand for internet-based video content will increase significantly and compete with more traditional methods of television broadcasting. There can be no assurance that there is a substantial market for the services we offer. If this market does not grow, we will not be able to achieve meaningful revenues and our business will fail.

If high-speed internet access with video viewing capability is not successfully adopted globally, there will be little demand for our products and services.

The success of our business is dependent upon extensive use of the internet. The video content we deliver is best viewed over a high-speed internet connection.  We believe increased internet use may depend on the availability of greater bandwidth or data transmission speeds or on other technological improvements, and we are largely dependent on third party companies to provide or facilitate these improvements. If networks cannot offer high-speed services because of congestion or other reasons, or if high-speed internet access fails to gain wide market acceptance, we believe there will be little demand for our products and services and our revenues may be insufficient to achieve and maintain profitability. The deployment of corporate firewalls may also restrict the growth and availability of streaming media services and adversely affect our business model by limiting access to the content broadcast through our service.  Changes in content delivery methods and emergence of new internet access devices such as TV set-top boxes could dramatically change the market for  streaming media products and services if new delivery methods or devices do not use streaming media or if they provide a more efficient method for transferring data than streaming media.

We face substantial competition and if we are unable to compete effectively, the demand for, or the prices of, our products and services may decline.

We face numerous competitors both in the internet-based distribution market, and in the more traditional broadcasting arena. Many of these companies have substantially longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, marketing, manufacturing and technical expertise, and greater resources and name recognition than we do. If we fail to attain commercial acceptance of our products and services and to be competitive with these companies, we may not ever generate meaningful revenues. In addition, new companies may emerge at any time with products or services that are superior, or that the marketplace perceives are superior, to ours. There are relatively few barriers preventing companies from competing with us. We do not own any patented technology that precludes or inhibits others from entering our market. We may not be able to compete effectively with any potential future competitors and the demand for, and prices of, our products and services may decline.
 
4

 
If we are unable to continue development of one or more of our products, our entire business strategy may be unsuccessful.

Our overall business strategy is dependent upon providing effective solutions to our customers.  We are continuing the development and improvement of the products and services we believe will be necessary for our future growth.  We anticipate that enhancements to our existing products will continue to take the majority of the time of our Chief Technology Officer and support from a number of developers on an ongoing basis.  Development of any product, however, can be more expensive and time-consuming than originally planned, and face unexpected delays or problems. Any delays in development could cause significant additional expense, result in operating losses and lost corporate opportunities, and create significant marketing opportunities for our competition. Because we are continuing to develop and improve a number of products, all of which are integral to our complete solution, the possibility of a problem is much greater than if we were developing only one product. Problems or delays in the continued development and deployment of any of our products could defeat our business strategy and substantially harm our prospects for future revenues.

If audio-video player software is not readily available, our products will not gain acceptance.

To view our products, a viewer must have an audio-video player such as Microsoft Media Player. If free distribution of player software does not continue or player software becomes less accessible, the potential market for our products and services will not grow, which in turn would have an adverse effect on our revenues and ability to achieve and maintain profitability.

If we lose one or more of our major clients our revenues will decline substantially.

For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007, our four largest clients accounted for approximately 23% of our revenue.  For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006, our four largest clients accounted for approximately 44% of our revenue. If we lose one or more of these clients, our revenues will decline substantially.
 
If we are unable to obtain and maintain sufficient bandwidth from third party providers, our business will suffer.

We depend on network operators such as Teleglobe and Interoute to distribute video over the internet.  These network operators may choose to compete with us, to enter into relationships with competitors, to change the terms on which they distribute our channels, including to increase their prices, or not to do business with us because of our size and lack of operating history. If we are unable to obtain sufficient bandwidth on terms acceptable to us, the scalability and reliability of our system would be adversely affected.

If content owners do not adopt internet-based delivery as a means for distributing their content, we may not be able to generate significant revenues.

The success of our business model is highly dependent on video content being available for distribution over the internet. Content owners may choose not to make their content available over the internet. If sufficient content is not available we may not generate sufficient revenues and our business may fail.

If we lose the services of our interim chief executive officer our business may suffer.

We are heavily dependent upon the continued services of David McCourt, Interim Chief Executive Officer. The loss of his services could seriously impede our success. We do not carry life insurance on the life of our CEO. In the event that our CEO becomes unavailable for any reason, our business may suffer.

As a start-up business, we may be unable to attract and retain the qualified technical, sales and support staff necessary for our growth.

Our ability to continue to develop and market our products and services is dependent upon our ability to identify, recruit, retain and motivate qualified personnel. As a start-up business, salaries for our employees are significantly below those of competitors in our industry and most of our existing employees are stockholders or are otherwise incentivized with periodic option grants. The low salaries and lack of assurance of our ability to secure additional funding may affect our efforts to recruit and retain additional personnel necessary to meet our growth targets. In addition, if we continue to issue additional equity in order to finance the business, future stock option grants may be less attractive to potential new hires and may not provide adequate motivation for existing personnel. If we are unable to hire and retain sufficient additional in-house personnel, we will be unable to complete development of our products and services, and our business will suffer.
 
5

 
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property or if our intellectual property is found to infringe another’s intellectual property, we may be unable to generate revenues based on our products.

None of our intellectual property is covered by patents.  We currently rely on a combination of trade secret, nondisclosure and other contractual agreements, as well as existing copyright and trademark laws to protect our confidential and proprietary information, but this may not be sufficient to prevent third parties from infringing upon or designing around our intellectual property to develop a competing product. We cannot be sure that our technology will not infringe any third party's intellectual property. In the event that a third party either infringes upon our intellectual property or makes a claim that our products infringe upon its proprietary rights, we may not have sufficient financial or other resources to enforce our rights or to successfully defend against any claim. Any infringement of or by our intellectual property could restrict our ability to generate revenues from our products.

System failures and/or security risks may impair our operations.

The core of our network infrastructure could be vulnerable to unforeseen computer problems. We may experience interruptions in service in the future as a result of the accidental or intentional actions of internet users, current and former employees or others. These risks are heightened by our reliance on a small number of network providers.  Unknown security risks may result in liability to Narrowstep and also may deter new clients from using our products and services. The security measures we implement may still be circumvented in the future, which could impair our operations and have a material adverse effect on our business.

As a third-party distributor of proprietary video content, we are vulnerable to claims of breach of content rights which may harm our business.

As a third-party deliverer of proprietary video content, we rely on our clients to have the appropriate rights to use and distribute this content. If the rights of the content owners are contravened, knowingly or otherwise, or if a content owner claims their rights are contravened, we could be subject to substantial lawsuits which could be time-consuming and costly to defend and our reputation may be harmed for having delivered the content.

Risks related to conducting business outside of the United States may adversely impact our business.

We market and sell our products and services in Europe, Asia, and the United States. As a result, we are subject to the normal risks of doing business abroad. Risks include unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, export and import restrictions, difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations, longer payment cycles, problems in collecting accounts receivable, potential adverse tax consequences, exchange rate fluctuations, increased risks of piracy, limits on our ability to enforce our intellectual property rights, discontinuity of our infrastructures, subsidized competition from local nationalized providers and other legal and political risks. Such limitations and interruptions could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Additional equity financing will dilute the ownership interest of our existing stockholders.

On August 8, 2007, we closed a private financing with a number of accredited investors for the sale of common stock and warrants for a total purchase price of $10,510,000. Pursuant to the financing we sold a total of 42,040,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.25 per share. We also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 21,020,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to adjustment.  The warrants are exercisable at any time on or prior to August 8, 2012.  The warrants contain customary anti-dilution provisions in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification or recapitalization of the Company.  In addition, the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment on a full-ratchet basis in the event that we issue or are deemed to have issued shares of common stock at an effective purchase price of less than $0.50 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  In the financing, we issued to the placement agents warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,706,400 shares of common stock.  Those warrants have the same terms as the warrants issued in the financing, except that the warrants issued to the placement agents have a cashless exercise right.  In connection with this financing, the Company’s $7,110,000 in outstanding mandatorily 12% convertible notes were automatically converted into an aggregate of 35,392,003 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.225 per share.  These transactions resulted in substantial dilution of the ownership interest of our existing stockholders.

We will need to raise additional capital in the future to continue the development and marketing of our products and services. We anticipate that we may raise capital in the future by selling additional equity or financial instruments which are exchangeable or convertible into equity. Any future equity or equity-related financings will dilute the ownership interest of our existing stockholders.

Because our assets are located primarily in the United Kingdom, it may be difficult to proceed with an action, or to enforce a judgment, against us.

Our offices and assets are located primarily in the United Kingdom. As a result, it may be difficult for stockholders located in the United States to pursue an action, or enforce a judgment against us, in the event of any litigation.

Risks Related to Investing in Shares
 
If there is no active trading market for our stock, you may be unable to sell the shares.
 
There can be no assurance that an active trading market for our shares will ever develop in the United States, or elsewhere. In the event that no active trading market for the shares develops, it will be extremely difficult for stockholders to dispose of the shares. In the event an active trading market develops, there can be no assurance that the market will be strong enough to absorb all of the shares which may be offered for sale by the stockholders.

Our stock price is highly volatile and can fluctuate in response to many factors, some of which are beyond our control.

The trading price of our shares is highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results, announcements of technological innovations, new sales forecasts, or new products and services by us or our competitors, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, conditions or trends in internet markets, changes in the market valuations of other business service providers providing similar services or products, announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, capital commitments, additions or departures of key personnel, sales of shares and other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control. Consequently, future announcements concerning us or our competitors, litigation, or public concerns as to the commercial value of one or more of our products or services may cause the market price of our shares to fluctuate substantially for reasons which may be unrelated to operating results. These fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our shares. In addition, because our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, price quotations will reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commissions, and may not represent actual transactions.

In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of many companies. These broad market factors may materially adversely affect the market price of the shares, regardless of our operating performance.

Our obligation to register shares of our common stock for resale may adversely affect the price of our stock.

In addition to the shares covered hereby, we are obligated to register for resale 90,116,394 shares of common stock for various selling stockholders.  The ability of these selling stockholders to sell their shares on the open market or the perception that such sales may take place in the future may adversely impact the price of our stock.  In addition, if we fail to register these shares or, in certain cases, fail to maintain the effectiveness of such registration, we could be subject to substantial monetary penalties.

Because we have a limited offering qualification in California, sales of the shares are limited in California.
 
The offering of our shares in California was approved on the basis of a limited offering qualification where offers/sales can only be made to proposed California investors based on their meeting certain suitability standards.  The California Department of Corporations refers to and specified this standard as a “super suitability” standard, which requires any California investor in our common stock to have not less than (i) $250,000 in liquid net worth (a net worth exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobile) plus $65,000 gross annual income, (ii) $500,000 in liquid net worth, (iii) $1,000,000 in net worth (inclusive), or (iv) $200,000 gross annual income.
 
Because the offering was approved in California on the basis of a limited offering qualification, we were not required to demonstrate compliance with some of the merit regulations of the California Department of Corporations as found in Title 10, California Code of Regulations, Rule 260.140 et seq.  In addition, the exemptions for secondary trading in California available under California Corporations Code Section 25104(h) will not be available, although there may be other exemptions to cover private sales in California of a bona fide owner of our common stock for his own account without advertising and without being effected by or through a broker dealer in a public offering.  These restrictions will make it more difficult to sell our shares in California.

Certain provisions of our charter and by-laws could discourage potential acquisition proposals or a change in control.
 
Certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws and Delaware law could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or an acquisition of our company at a price which many stockholders may find attractive. The existence of these provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.  Our Board of Directors, without further stockholder approval, may issue preferred stock with voting, conversion and other rights and preferences that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock.  We anticipate that we will retain any earnings to support operations and to finance the growth and development of our business.  Therefore, we do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  Any future determination relating to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board and will depend on a number of factors, including future earnings, capital requirements, financial conditions and future prospects and other factors the board may deem relevant.
 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included elsewhere in this Registration Statement and the section “Risk Factors” in Item 1A, as well as other cautionary statements and risks described elsewhere in this Registration Statement, before deciding to purchase, sell or hold our common stock.
 
Overview

We provide our customers with technology that allows them to transmit video content over the internet to targeted audiences. Our services allow customers to format and manage content, create programming, transmit programming to specific audiences and create and manage subscription, pay-per-view and other revenue generation models. We also provide production services to customers; however, production services have declined as a percentage of total revenues as our core "narrowcasting" service grows in importance.

We were incorporated as a Delaware corporation in May 2002. Our headquarters is in Princeton, New Jersey and we have offices in London and New York City.  For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007, approximately 80% of our total revenues were generated from customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, 13% was generated from customers in the United States and the remaining 7% was generated from customers in the Asia Pacific region.  We expect our revenues from sources in the United States to continue to increase as a percentage of total revenues as we begin to focus more on revenue opportunities there.

How We Generate Revenue

We generate revenue primarily from fees we charge for the use of our technology and related services for narrowcasting and from the sale of production services. Revenues from our narrowcasting activities include fees paid for the establishment and maintenance of channels, encoding and uploading of content, as well as the management of channels on behalf of clients. The fee charged for the establishment of a channel depends on the level of service desired by the customer and typically ranges from $5,000 to $100,000. We also charge a monthly license fee which ranges from $1,000 to $30,000, depending upon the range of features and capabilities being licensed, which covers the use of the TelvOS system, cost of support, maintenance and upgrades. In addition, based on the customer’s contract, we may obtain additional revenues from content hosting (the storage of files on our network on a per gigabyte basis), content delivery (the cost of bandwidth, on a per gigabyte basis, to deliver the content to the end viewer), and, to a lesser extent, revenue sharing arrangements.   These revenue sharing arrangements come from monthly or annual subscription fees charged to the viewer for the channel, pay per view events, and in some cases from advertising campaigns that we have provided for the content owner.  The majority of our customers sign twelve month contracts which are the basis of our billing arrangements.

Revenues for narrowcasting are recognized in our financial statements as follows:  any consulting services or one-time setup fees for a customer channel are recognized once the work is completed and accepted by the customer.  The monthly recurring revenue items are, the monthly license fee, the monthly usage of bandwidth, and the amount of storage at time of billing.  We currently do not use any estimates for recording revenue.  The revenue recognized during the month is based on a contractual rate or monthly fee which covers the month invoiced.

Revenues from production services include fees paid for the production, filming, editing and encoding of programs. We charge our clients on a time and expense basis for these services, typically on a project-by-project basis, although occasionally under longer term agreements. Revenues for production services are recognized only when the project is completed and delivered to the customer.

The Company may receive payments in advance for narrowcasting and production services.  These payments are deferred and recognized only when the revenue is earned as described above.

73% of our revenues for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 came from narrowcasting and other services and 27% came from production services. 55% of our revenues for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006 came from our narrowcasting activities and 45% came from production services. We expect that the proportion of our revenues generated by our narrowcasting business will continue to increase.

Key Revenue Drivers

Currently we have identified several key drivers that we believe significantly affect our revenue and operations and we are beginning to track these drivers.  We expect to report these drivers in future filings once our systems infrastructure is able to accurately track and report the relevant data.  Below is a description of the drivers we believe are important to track and monitor in order to gauge the success and/or indicate any problems occurring in the business.

Average Monthly Recurring Revenue which is total monthly recurring revenue divided by the number of customers.  We believe that an increase in our average monthly recurring revenue, which is the largest component in our monthly billing for narrowcasting, indicates that our customers are increasing their usage of our TelvOS capabilities.

Average Bandwidth Usage which is the total bandwidth usage divided by the total number of customers.  An increase in average bandwidth usage is an indicator of the popularity of our customer channels as a group. We expect that such an increase would have a positive effect on our related revenue streams, such as revenue sharing arrangements, which includes subscription or advertising.

Average Storage which is the total amount of content stored divided by the total number of customers.  We believe that an increase in average storage is an indicator of new and fresh content which can also drive traffic and affect related revenue streams.

Consolidated revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2007 decreased by $282,510, or 18%, to $1,285,857 as compared to $1,568,367 for the three months ended August 31, 2006. Consolidated revenues for the six months ended August 31, 2007 increased by $163,760, or 6%, to $2,876,650 as compared to $2,712,890 for the six months ended August 31, 2006 as follows:
 
Narrowcasting and other revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2007 increased by $101,975, or 10%, to $1,143,955 as compared to $1,041,980 for the three months ended August 31, 2006.  Narrowcasting revenues for the six months ended August 31, 2007 increased by $680,622, or 36%, to $2,559,115 as compared to $1,878,493 for the six months ended August 31, 2006.  The increase in narrowcasting revenues resulted primarily from a net increase in customers, partially offset by sales allowances and adjustments given in the quarter.  Although narrowcasting revenues increased quarter to quarter, the rate of growth was less than in prior quarters as a result of smaller content providers churning for non-payment.  Many of these content providers are simply undercapitalized.  The Company is in the process of refocusing its sales and marketing efforts on larger, more profitable customers to whom the Company can sell a range of products and services and away from smaller content providers who have traditionally had lower margins and higher payment default rates.  Management expects that this shift in strategic focus will accelerate the Company’s revenue growth.

Production services revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2007 decreased by $384,485, or 73%, to $141,902 as compared to $526,387 for the three months ended August 31, 2006.  Production services revenues for the six months ended August 31, 2007 decreased by $516,862, or 62%, to $317,535 as compared to $834,397 for the six months ended August 31, 2006.  As previously disclosed, our strategic plan is to focus our resources on narrowscasting and to deemphasize production services as a revenue source of our business.  Consistent with this plan, revenues from this segment continue to decline as we continue to fulfill current obligations and execute on our plan to exit this business segment.

Consolidated costs and expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2007 increased by $2,697,159, or 93%, to $5,594,024 as compared to $2,896,865 for the three months ended August 31, 2006.  Consolidated expenses for the six months ended August 31, 2007 increased by $5,009,486, or 95%, to $10,264,189 as compared to $5,254,703 for the six months ended August 31, 2006 as follows:

Operating expenses includes the cost of bandwidth, direct labor, sub-contracted labor, consulting fees and depreciation.  For the three months ended August 31, 2007 these costs were $1,361,524, a 91%, increase over the $711,085 reported in the three months ended August 31, 2006. Operating expenses for the six months ended August 31, 2007 were $2,587,315, a 128% increase over the $1,133,303 reported in the six months ended August 31, 2006.  The increase resulted primarily from increased headcount to meet customer support needs in our narrowcasting business and to begin building out our internal Content Delivery Network (CDN) system.  This increase was offset in part by a reduction in production expenses.  We expect that operating expenses will continue at these higher levels for the near term as we anticipate that our CDN system will not be complete until approximately the fourth quarter of this fiscal year.  However, we expect that these expenses will begin to decrease as a percentage of total revenues as we achieve more efficiency in delivering and supporting our service offerings.

Selling, general and administrative expenses includes employee compensation and related costs for personnel engaged in marketing, direct and reseller sales support functions, the executive team and back office help. For the three months ended August 31, 2007 these costs were $3,449,202, a 81% increase over the $1,900,687 reported for the three months ended August 31, 2006.  SG&A for the six months ended August 31, 2007 costs were $6,094,826, a 70% increase over the $3,581,250 reported for the six months ended August 31, 2006.  The increase is primarily due to increased headcount, primarily in direct sales, as we continue to build infrastructure to support a higher level of sales.  The increase also resulted from higher stock compensation expense attributable to the employment agreement entered into with our interim CEO, under which he is paid only in restricted stock and performance units.
 
Research & development expenses include employee compensation, stock options and depreciation and any related costs for personnel primarily focused on research and development efforts.  For the three months ended August 31, 2007 these costs were $783,298, a 175% increase over the $285,093 reported for the three months ended August 31, 2006.  R&D expenses for the six months ended August 31, 2007 were $1,582,048, a 193% increase over the $540,150 reported for the six months ended August 31, 2006. The increase in research and development expenses resulted primarily from increased headcount and increased third party expenses relating to the further development and enhancement of our TelvOS system.  The increase also resulted from increased headcount to maintain the Company’s existing systems and to provide customized support for our growing customer base.  However, we expect that these expenses will begin to decrease as a percentage of total revenues as we refocus our strategic direction on larger customers where customization expenses can be spread over a higher revenue base.

Consolidated revenues for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 increased $3,302,573, or 122%, to $6,008,835 from $2,706,262 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006 as follows:
 
Narrowcasting and other revenues for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 increased approximately $2,900,000, or 191% over the prior year.  This increase in narrowcasting revenues resulted primarily from a net increase in customers.  Narrowcasting revenues also include one-time implementation fees, which will continue to contribute to revenue as more customers are added.  The addition of the sales team in the United States has begun making strides in that market.  As a result, we have seen an increase of revenue in the United States over the prior year of 126% (see geographical distribution below).
 
Production services revenues for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 increased approximately $433,000, or 36% over the prior year. This increase in production services revenues resulted primarily from revenues from new customers added over the past year and sales of previously recorded programming. This business remains seasonal in nature and dependent on one-time assignments.  Since the end of fiscal 2007, the number of jobs has decreased primarily as a result of the termination of employment of several senior employees of this business and a decreased emphasis on the production services business.

Consolidated costs and expenses for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 increased approximately $6,200,000, or 89%, over the prior year as follows:

Operating expenses includes the cost of bandwidth, direct labor, sub-contracted labor, consulting fees and depreciation.  For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 these costs were approximately $2,700,000, a 47% increase over the prior year.
 
The increase resulted primarily from increased headcount to meet customer support needs and to begin building our internal CDN system. Operating expenses also increased as a result of an increased use of independent contractors in order to meet the increased work load of the production service business.  The total costs of operations were offset in part by lower bandwidth costs year-over-year, due to a large credit that was issued by our network carrier related to an overcharge that applied towards costs recognized in fiscal year 2006 and fiscal year 2007.  Once the errors in our bills were detected, the carrier issued the credit and corrected all future invoices.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses includes employee compensation and related costs for personnel engaged in marketing, direct and reseller sales support functions, the executive team and backoffice help. For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 these costs were approximately $8,200,000, a 72% increase over the prior year. This increase is due increased headcount primarily in direct sales.  SG&A expenses were also adversely impacted by a large increase in bad debt.  This increase primarily resulted from the failure of a number of narrowcasting customers to have sufficient capital to sustain their business models as well as non-payments by several production services customers.  We are pursing collection efforts where appropriate.  The Company has implemented new controls and procedures aimed at minimizing bad debt expense in future periods.  SG&A also increased as a result of increased legal and accounting fees as well as increased expenses to house a growing number of employees.
 
Research & development expenses include employee compensation, stock options and depreciation and any related costs for personnel primarily focused on research and development efforts.  For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 these costs were approximately $1,100,000, a 179% increase over the prior year. During the fiscal year the company began to hire developers to further enhance the TelvOS system and to add new functionality.  Aside from adding new capabilities to the TelvOS system, new employees were also needed in order to maintain the system and support our growing customer base.

Impairment charge on long-lived assets reflects the write off of the goodwill and intangible assets of Sportshows Television, Ltd., our production services business.

The reason for the impairment was due to several factors.  In the past the production segment has not been profitable and the company is currently re-evaluating the products and services being offered by the production segment.  Several senior employees of STV are no longer employed with the Company.  The prospects or sales leads generated from this segment have been declining, and we have incurred significant bad debts related to the existing sales.

Trends in Our Business

During 2004, we completed the initial development of our product suite and began to focus primarily on the sale of licenses to use our narrowcasting products. Since then, we have added significantly to our customer base and expect growth in the number of clients using our products and services to continue to increase. Revenues generated by our narrowcasting activities grew to exceed those from production services in the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007. In addition, we have increased our U.S. customer base which is becoming an important source of revenue as we increase our focus on opportunities there.

We expect that our operating expenses will continue to increase as we seek to improve and upgrade our products, continue to build our infrastructure and devote resources to building a sales and marketing network. We expect that non-operating expenses, such as accounting, legal and other professional fees will decrease as a percentage of revenues as we focus on holding those costs down and look for opportunities to reduce these costs through better management and through automation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We had $10,170,561 in cash and cash equivalents available at August 31, 2007 and available bank overdraft facilities of $60,411.
 
Cash was used to meet the needs of the business including, but not limited to, payment of operating expenses, funding capital expenditures and, working capital.  We discuss many of these factors in detail below.
 
We have financed our operations from inception through private equity financing. From inception through August 31, 2007, we sold and issued in exchange for services an aggregate of 125,280,977 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $25.3 million.  In addition, we have granted options and issued shares in lieu of cash in payment to third parties for services rendered and in connection with the acquisition of Sportshows Television, Ltd. To a lesser extent, we have also used capital leases to fund some of our equipment acquisitions.   We have incurred significant losses since our inception and, at August 31, 2007, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $27.7 million.
 
Our current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) relates to our ability to pay our short-term debts as they become due. At August 31, 2007, our current ratio was 5.7, compared to 0.9 at February 28, 2007. Our current ratio fluctuates primarily as we use cash to develop our business and raise additional funds from private equity financing from time to time.

On March 2, 2007, we closed a private financing with a number of accredited investors for the sale of our 12% Mandatorily Convertible Notes and warrants for a total purchase price of $7,110,000.  The notes, which were to mature on March 2, 2009, bore interest at 12% per annum, payable at maturity.  The Notes were mandatorily convertible at a 10% discount into securities we issued in any subsequent private placement that resulted in gross proceeds to us of at least $3,000,000 or, in the event of a sale of the Company prior thereto, shares of common stock valued at a discount of 10% to the per share price to be paid in the Company sale.  The warrants are exercisable at any time on or prior to March 2, 2012 for an aggregate of 3,555,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share, subject to adjustment.  The Company has the right to force the cash exercise of the warrants if the common stock trades at or above $1.80 per share for at least 20 consecutive trading days.  Both the notes and the warrants contain customary anti-dilution provisions in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification or recapitalization of the Company.  In the financing, we issued to the placement agents warrants to purchase an aggregate of 75,875 shares of common stock.  Those warrants have the same terms as the warrants issued in the financing.

On August 8, 2007, we closed a private financing with a number of accredited investors for the sale of common stock and warrants for a total purchase price of $10,510,000. Pursuant to the financing we sold a total of 42,040,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.25 per share. We also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 21,020,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to adjustment.  The warrants are exercisable at any time on or prior to August 8, 2012.  The warrants contain customary anti-dilution provisions in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification or recapitalization of the Company.  In addition, the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment on a full-ratchet basis in the event that we issue or are deemed to have issued shares of common stock at an effective purchase price of less than $0.50 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  In the financing, we issued to the placement agents warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,706,400 shares of common stock.  Those warrants have the same terms as the warrants issued in the financing, except that the warrants issued to the placement agents have a cashless exercise right.  In connection with this financing, the Company’s $7,110,000 in outstanding mandatorily 12% convertible notes were automatically converted into an aggregate of 35,392,003 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.225 per share.

With the completion of these financings we will have sufficient working capital to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.  We also are making efforts to improve our financial position by evaluating ongoing operating expenses, increasing our effort to collect outstanding receivables and continuing to focus on increasing sales.
 
For the six months ended August 31, 2007 (Unaudited)
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $5,557,029 for the six months ended August 31, 2007, compared to $1,755,910 for the six months ended August 31, 2006. The increase in cash used in operations was due primarily to an increase in our net loss.  Our net loss for the period increased significantly for the reasons described above.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $1,725,248 for the six months ended August 31, 2007, compared to $659,676 for the six months ended August 31, 2006. This increase resulted primarily from additional capital expenditures needed to build out our CDN network.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $17,034,589 for the six months ended August 31, 2007, compared to $1,352,116 for the six months ended August 31, 2006.  The increase resulted from the sale of common stock on August 8, 2007 and the issuance of the Company’s 12% mandatorily convertible notes issued March 2, 2007 as described below.
 
We had $10,170,561 in cash and cash equivalents available at August 31, 2007 and available bank overdraft facilities of $60,411.
 
An overdraft facility is a line of credit arrangement, negotiated with a bank and usually reviewable on an annual basis, whereby the bank's customer is permitted to take its checking account into a debit balance on a pre-agreed interest basis up to an agreed amount. Amounts utilized under overdraft facilities are payable on demand. At August 31, 2007 and February 28, 2007, the overdraft facilities consisted of $20,137 and $19,600, respectively, with Barclays Bank PLC and $40,274 and $39,000, respectively, with National Westminster Bank PLC (NatWest). Neither facility was utilized on August 31, 2007 or February 28, 2007. The interest rate on the Barclays facility is 5.75% above Barclays' variable base rate (which base rate was 5.25% per annum as of August 31, 2007). The interest rate on the NatWest facility is 5.75% above NatWest's variable base rate (which base rate was 5.25% per annum as of August 31, 2007). The Barclays overdraft facility was renewed on February 17, 2007.  The NatWest overdraft facility was renewed on May 31, 2007.
 
Our current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) relates to our ability to pay our short-term debts as they become due. At August 31, 2007, our current ratio was 5.7, compared to 0.9 at February 28, 2007. Our current ratio fluctuates primarily as we use cash to develop our business and raise additional funds from private financing from time-to-time.

As of August 31, 2007, our principal capital commitments consisted of obligations outstanding under capital leases as shown in the table below:

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was approximately $1,300,000 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 and approximately ($2,700,000) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006. The increase over the prior year resulted from the sale of short-term investments offset in part by capital equipment purchased for our network.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1,400,000 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 and approximately $7,600,000 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006.  The decrease resulted primarily from the two equity financing completed during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006.

As of February 28, 2007, our principal capital commitments consisted of obligations outstanding under capital leases as shown in the table below:

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (Revised).”  SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB No. 25 and its related implementation guidance.  SFAS No. 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services.  It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.  SFAS No. 123(R) focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.  SFAS No. 123(R) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions).  That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).  No compensation costs are recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.  The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available).  If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), effective March 1, 2006. Based on stock options that vested during the year ended February 28, 2007, the Company recorded approximately $702,000 in additional compensation expense for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007, under SFAS No. 123(R).

Prior to March 1, 2006 the Company followed SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."  The provisions of SFAS No. 123 allowed companies to either expense the estimated fair value of stock options or to continue to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"), but disclose the pro forma effect on net income (loss) had the fair value of the options been expensed.

Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant or issue date prior to March 1, 2006 and consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company's net loss and loss per common share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Foreign Exchange Risks

We are a Delaware corporation and since our inception we have been raising funds in US dollars. However, we have significant operations in London, and a substantial portion of our business is conducted in sterling. This currency difference between our fundraising and business operations represents a risk related to the rate of exchange from US dollars to sterling. We hold surplus funds mainly in US dollars. A larger currency exchange risk results from our primary assets being denominated almost entirely in sterling. The dollar value of our assets, and thus our stockholders' equity, increases when the dollar weakens relative to the pound and vice versa. In the future, we expect to generate a greater percentage of our revenues from operations in the United States which would be received in US dollars and which should help mitigate the exchange risk. 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 48 clarifies what criteria must be met prior to recognition of the financial statement benefit of a position taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 will require companies to include additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures within their financial statements. The disclosures will include potential tax benefits from positions taken for tax return purposes that have not been recognized for financial reporting purposes and a tabular presentation of significant changes during each period. The disclosures will also include a discussion of the nature of uncertainties, factors which could cause a change, and an estimated range of reasonably possible changes in tax uncertainties.

FIN No. 48 will also require a company to recognize a financial statement benefit for a position taken for tax return purposes when it will be more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. FIN No. 48 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN No. 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

OUR BUSINESS


General

Narrowstep Inc. is a pioneer in the field of internet-based video content delivery.  Our objective is to provide world class tools to content owners, best of breed tools to the internet television viewer, and to move video around the globe efficiently and effectively utilizing our own content delivery network.  Our proprietary operating system, which we have termed the Television Operating System - TelvOS, provides comprehensive delivery of video content and television-like programming to mobile, wireless, internet, broadband and broadcast services.  Our system provides a platform to enable owners and users of video content to reach specific audiences by “narrowcasting” – targeting delivery of specific content to interested groups.  Narrowcasting provides new business opportunities for content providers to build commercial channels by creating a new model for delivering content.  In addition to enabling delivery of content, the Narrowstep platform enables our clients to commercialize video-based content. This can be achieved through directed advertising, sponsorship, pay-per-view, subscription, and/or e-commerce.
 
Market Overview

We believe the media industry is in the process of a fundamental transformation.  The delivery of video content, which previously has been dominated by terrestrial and satellite cable delivery systems, and national and cable broadcasters, is facing many of the same changes that publishing faced in the 1980s - desktop video, lower production costs and easier distribution are changing the marketplace just as desktop publishing changed the publishing world forever.

Traditional distribution of video content on terrestrial bands, satellite and cable is now augmented by broadband distribution on the internet. This model may fragment further as wireless and mobile networks provide newer and more efficient distribution for video content through the delivery of television signals over internet protocol or TV over IP. Our goal is to establish our platform as the de facto standard for building TV over IP channels and delivering video content over broadband, mobile and wireless networks.

We believe that the delivery of video content over the internet is an effective means of providing entertainment and information and has a multitude of applications.  Internet-based distribution of video content creates possibilities for directed programming not usually feasible in traditional broadcasting. Narrowcasting describes a field that is evolving due to a number of factors which we believe are changing the traditional broadcast model:

·  
New Technology . The internet and mobile communications are two media that have taken market share from traditional TV viewing in recent years. Increasingly, video content is being made available over these media.

·  
Proliferation of Channels . Content owners are able to access viewers through distribution on cable, satellite and digital services. The number of traditional channels has increased markedly over the last 20 years as these distribution media have been exploited. The internet offers a further distribution medium with launch costs significantly lower than for a new cable or satellite channel.

·  
Targeted Marketing . We believe that marketers are looking beyond broadcasting’s focus on broad, mass markets and that content providers and advertisers are increasingly seeking to differentiate and target specific markets.

Narrowstep was formed to provide content delivery solutions for targeted video programming through an internet-based delivery solution.  Traditional delivery of video content is largely achieved through the transmission of content over mass market media such as terrestrial transmission, satellite and cable systems based on a "play once, view anywhere" model.  Traditional broadcasting relies on diary entries made by small samplings of viewers in order to gauge viewing habits and trends. These entries are then compiled into viewing surveys by market research agencies such as Nielson and BARB in an effort to extrapolate audience measurement and viewing trends among various populations. These technologies and the commercial model which pays for the deployment of traditional television stations require the delivery of mass market audiences, since advertisers pay for audience delivery.

Using internet protocol technology and our content delivery solutions, it is possible to identify all individual viewers of content by location, using their internet addresses, and by subject interest, by recording the viewer's viewing habits. In addition, it is also possible to require a viewer to register and provide additional detail in order to access content. As a result, content providers can target delivery of video content to specific individuals or groups of individuals. Since the internet is available globally, unlike most traditional broadcasting mechanisms which are generally limited to geographical regions, targeted audiences can also be aggregated across the world providing a means of grouping a desired audience in sufficient numbers to make directed content economically viable.
 
Narrowstep's primary marketplace is in the delivery of broadband TV over IP. Broadband is experiencing explosive growth. More than two-thirds of all active U.S. Web users connect via broadband, according to February 2006 data from Nielsen/NetRatings.
 
We believe that the provision of broadband content will be a fast-growth market in media and technology. In addition, other network delivery systems such as wireless and mobile will also provide considerable market opportunities beyond the growth of broadband, providing longevity to our plans and business model. The increasing availability of bandwidth, combined with the significantly cheaper costs of internet transmission as compared with traditional satellite and cable televisions, as well as the potential to reach a greater number of viewers due to its global accessibility, are creating a market for internet-based video content which we believe is attractive to content providers, channel producers, and advertisers.
 
Products and Services

We provide a range of products and services based on our core technology platform, TelvOS. This is a comprehensive video and audio management and play-out system. It facilitates making video and audio content available as a live stream, distributing images of live events over the network; as highlights, or video on demand; as searchable content from an archive; and as a 24 x 7 stream, like television. A video stream is not downloaded to the viewer's computer; rather it is made available as a continuously playing service, similar to traditional broadcast television.  Additionally, video can be offered for download with integrated digital rights management.

From the TelvOS platform, content can be made available to the internet, broadband services, cable and satellite, mobile networks, wireless systems, and to digital signage, point of sale and point of information displays. All elements can be controlled in real time from a web-based interface. The service can be commercialized using pay-per-view, subscription, content syndication, advertising, sponsorship and e-commerce functions, and can be controlled and changed in real time. It also provides full real time monitoring and statistical feedback to the channel operator.

The Narrowstep family of products and services consists of the following:

TelvOS - Core System
The TelvOS core system is a complete platform for the management and play-out of rich media over the Internet and other IP networks. The TelvOS Core System includes a content management system to manage, search, and publish rich media assets.  Content can be uploaded automatically or manually in any common computer audio, video or streaming format and then managed with full metadata support. Metadata provides detailed descriptions of the content and attaches details such as the length, category and copyright owner. Channel owners can create video sequences for play-out including advertising, station identifications and content trailers, along with the programming content. The content can be made available to viewers as a live, ‘as it happens’ service; as video on demand; via an archive and search function; and as scheduled programming streams in the Narrowstep Player. The TelvOS Core System features control over in which territories the content is made available provides full security and digital rights management control and can include advertising and sponsorship support, along with pay-per-view and subscription payment packages. Once prepared, the content can be made available to mobile, wireless, broadband and broadcast networks. This system enables customers to build and manage video channels over multiple media outlets.  The TelvOS Core System provides detailed statistics on all elements of the system’s performance, from the number of unique viewers to the length of time the channel was watched and the number of advertisements delivered.

TelvOS provides clients with a complete suite of content management tools.  Content can be uploaded automatically or manually in any common computer audio, video or streaming format and then managed with full metadata support.  A statistics function delivers real time intelligence on the number of viewers, data transferred and even the proportion of the data viewed or listened to.  In addition, a detailed search engine supports the retrieval of content from the archive.  TelvOS also allows clients to determine how and when to make the content available to viewers.  Our technology enables clients to control where the content is available, provides full security and digital rights management control and can include advertising and sponsorship support, along with pay-per-view, subscription and microcharging options.  Clients can use TelvOS to make video and audio content available as a live stream, to distribute live event coverage, to play highlights, to provide video on demand; to enable viewers to obtain searchable content from an archive; and to provide continuous play video 24 hours per day, similar to broadcast and cable television.

Our system enables clients to fully commercialize broadband video distribution by providing complete control and management of advertising content.  With TelvOS, clients can upload, store and manage advertisements, infomercials and sponsored programs.  Advertising campaigns can be constructed in real time by defining the required profile of the target audience and selecting how many views of the advertisement - called ad impressions - are desired by the advertiser. Advertisements are then automatically played out to any viewer matching this profile. Where there are more ads than advertising slots, the advertiser can bid for the slot, and the highest paying advertisement will be played out by default.

The Narrowstep Player provides the graphic user interface for viewers to access and control content from TelvOS and is not marketed as a separate product. During a viewer's initial connection, the Narrowstep Player automatically runs a bandwidth check to detect the viewer's connection, device and platform and then provides the content in a format and size, and at a data rate most appropriate for the viewer. The Narrowstep Player then provides the viewer with controls over the video content being displayed, including the ability to select between live content, scheduled content, on demand content and content in the video or audio archive. Where a pay-per-view or subscription model is deployed the Narrowstep Player enables the viewer to pay for the content. Narrowstep Players can be embedded into an existing website or application, thus extending the reach of the channel through third party web site syndication.

AdServer
AdServer is an online system that enables the commercialization of broadband video distribution by providing complete control and management of advertising content. Using adServer, clients can upload, store and manage advertisements, infomercials and sponsored programs. Advertising campaigns can be constructed in real time by defining the required profile of the target audience and selecting how many views of the advertisement - called ad impressions - are desired by the advertiser as well as bidding terms. Advertisements are then automatically played out matching the viewer profile to the available campaigns while maximizing the advertising revenue for the channel.

PayGate
PayGate is an interface between the TelvOS platform and payment gateways, such as PayPal and Cybersource. Any item on the platform, such as an on-demand video or a channel can have a payment rule attached to it which requires the viewer to pay before they can view or access the content. PayGate supports single and recurring transactions for pay per view and subscription business models.   All transactions are captured and reported for each channel. Sensitive payment details are not stored, but are forwarded to a payment service provider (PSP) for processing.

NCoder
NCoder is an encoding hardware solution that provides direct encoding capability for video content and attaches to a client's edit machine or network. Video files are placed in an upload file folder on the nCoder by the client and the files are compressed into all the selected formats, sizes and data rates required and then uploaded into the client's TelvOS account. The nCoder is offered in 2 tiers, nCoder and nCoder Pro.  The nCoder Pro includes faster encoding up to real time feeds in multiple data formats.

DownloadServer
DownloadServer is a product integrated within TelvOS to offer secure downloads of any rich media.   Multiple files or file formats can be bundled into a download pack and secured with Microsoft digital rights management (DRM).   Channel owners can configure the license terms of the DRM of the download pack and payment rules such as pay per download and subscription access.

We also provide a full range of services complementary to our technology platform, including:

Channel and Player Set Up . We use our core technology to establish internet channels and customized players for clients according to their specifications which then operate under a license arrangement.  Player customization can be ongoing work through the life of the channel, because an Internet TV channel, like any website, is constantly being updated and improved.

Consulting Services . We provide a variety of additional consulting and management services. These vary depending upon client needs and include such things as advice on advertising and distribution strategies, technology integration services, digital media, content acquisition, and providing advertising for content through arrangements with advertisers.

Customer Service & Support :  For our Internet TV channels, we provide 24x7 email and phone support as it pertains to the TelvOS System.
 
20

 
Production Services . We provide a full range of production services for our clients, focusing on high quality content encoding, ingestion into TelvOS, metadata entry, support for live streaming, and pre-production and production services.  

 
Narrowstep’s Content Delivery Network (CDN)

Our platform is generally deployed under an application service provider model. Clients and partners are provided with logins and we control the applications and the platform they run on. The Narrowstep platform and all Narrowstep products are operated on our servers; under certain circumstances, we will install a copy of the server within a client's network. This is most likely to happen with internet service providers and telecom partners.

Our technology has been designed and engineered to be scalable and replicable. When a client uploads a file to any Narrowstep server, this file is replicated to every server on the network, unless otherwise configured. Our network is currently capable of handling approximately 5,000 simultaneous users. We are currently in the process of upgrading our CDN to increase the amount of simultaneous users to 10,000.

We operate our core technology platform on top of our content delivery network or “CDN”, which is hosted by some of the world's leading internet service providers. We have points of presence or “POP” locations with each of Teleglobe and Interoute in London and Interoute in New York.  More recently, we added a network within the network of Telewest Communications, one of only two cable operators in the United Kingdom, to deliver services to their cable modem IP service, blueyonder.  We plan to continue investing in our own CDN which we believe will be cost effective and give us the ability to deliver the highest quality video to our end users.
 
Sales and Marketing

To date, we have sold and marketed our services largely through direct approaches to potential clients.  More recently many sales leads have been generated by word of mouth, via our web site and by attending and presenting at various industry trade shows.  As of August 31, 2007, we had 17 full-time sales and marketing employees.

We have also established partnering or reseller arrangements with third parties under which we have agreed to pay our partners a portion of the revenues they generate in reselling our products. Under these arrangements partners are entitled to receive commissions of between 10% and 30% for work resulting from introductions and are expected to continue to provide related supporting services.  We believe these arrangements will enable us to enter specialized and more diverse geographical markets than we might otherwise be able to penetrate using solely our own sales efforts. We intend to continue to update our support arrangements, training and promotional materials to provide additional support for our partners.

We plan to continue expanding our sales and marketing activities, including hiring additional employees for our sales and marketing efforts and developing marketing programs, trade show participation and speaking engagements. We plan to concentrate primarily on the following marketing techniques in the coming year:

·  
Direct sales - by our in-house sales team;
·  
Channel sales - building a network of resellers for our products;
·  
Public relations - attracting increased media coverage for our business;
·  
Trade shows - exhibiting at key trade shows in Europe and the United States; and
·  
Marketing materials - updating our literature, website and general marketing materials to more effectively promote our business, products and services.

Clients

Many of our customers are producers, owners of content or have rights to content.  Many of these customers use our solutions to address a specific niche in the marketplace.  Some examples of these niche areas are faith based channels, Travel channels, and extreme sports. We also have customers that are cable operators that have also launched channels on the web and are using our services to broadcast and manage their content.  In addition, we provide production services for various content owners or companies that have rights to film a sporting event.

Competition

The internet video distribution market is highly competitive and subject to changing technology and market dynamics.  We believe the principal competitive factors in our market include:

·  
ability to provide a complete solution;
·  
content management capabilities;
·  
enabling clients to monetize content;
·  
quality of video stream; and
·  
service reliability.

We believe we compete effectively in all of these areas.  TelvOS enables us to provide clients with a user friendly complete end-to-end content management and delivery system whereas many of our competitors specialize on only one particular part of the video delivery process.  For example, certain of our competitors focus on player design and build but do not provide tools for the direct control of content delivery.  Others focus on advertising and syndication without addressing clients’ need to manage digital rights, content registration, and content delivery.  In addition to TelvOS, we provide a number of complementary services, including channel and player set up and customization, consulting services and production services.  These service offerings allow us to offer complete turn-key solutions to our clients.

We focus primarily on providing clients with the ability to manage and stream long form video content (longer than 30 minute streams) compared to many of our competitors who provide short form streaming tools.  Although existing technology can be used to provide both long form and short form streaming capability, the ability to provide high quality long form content depends primarily on the reliability of the network used to stream the content and the availability of sufficient bandwidth.  Unlike many of our competitors, who contract with third parties aggregators, such as Akamai, to carry their video content through shared networks, we contract directly with network owners to provide dedicated network availability for the channels we host.  In addition, to boost service reliability we have established a number of points of presence (POPs) on the internet.  These POPs enable us to route content more directly, thereby enhancing the quality and reliability of our channels.

Many of our competitors have significantly longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources, and significantly greater name recognition than us.  In addition, costs of entry are low and as a result new entrants may enter the market in the future with a commercial advantage that would undermine our business model.  We do not own any patented technology that precludes or inhibits others from entering our market.  As a result, new entrants pose a threat to our business and we may face further competition in the future from companies who do not currently offer competitive services or products.

Intellectual Property Rights

Our success is dependent in part upon our proprietary TelvOS system. To date, we have not filed for any patents or registered copyrights relating to any of our intellectual property rights.

We currently rely on a combination of trade secret, nondisclosure and other contractual agreements, as well as existing copyright and trademark laws to protect our intellectual property. We require all personnel and outside contractors to execute agreements to keep secret and confidential our proprietary technology and we have a policy of not providing third parties with any secret or proprietary information regarding our technology. Since our technology is centrally controlled by us, no third parties have access to the systems or source code. We cannot assure stockholders, however, that these arrangements will be adequate to deter misappropriation of our proprietary information or that we will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights.

Government Regulation

Few existing laws or regulations specifically apply to the internet, other than laws and regulations generally applicable to businesses. Certain U.S. export controls and import controls of other countries may apply to our products. Many laws and regulations, however, are pending and may be adopted in the United States, individual states and local jurisdictions and other countries with respect to the internet. These laws may relate to many areas that impact our business, including content issues (such as obscenity, indecency and defamation), copyright and other intellectual property rights, digital rights management, encryption, caching of content by server products, personal privacy, taxation, e-mail, sweepstakes, promotions, network and information security and the convergence of traditional communication services with internet communications, including the future availability of broadband transmission capability and wireless networks. These types of regulations are likely to differ between countries and other political and geographic divisions. It is likely that other countries and political organizations will impose or favor more and different regulation than that which has been proposed in the United States, thus furthering the complexity of regulation. In addition, state and local governments may impose regulations in addition to, inconsistent with, or stricter than federal regulations. The adoption of such laws or regulations, and uncertainties associated with their validity, interpretation, applicability and enforcement, may affect the available distribution channels for and costs associated with our services, and may affect the growth of the internet. Although Narrowstep is able to control the distribution of content on a territorial basis, such laws or regulations may harm our business. Our services may also become subject to investigation and regulation of foreign data protection and e-commerce authorities, including those in the European Union. Such activities could result in additional costs for us in order to comply with such regulation.
 
22

 
Many laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyright, patent and other intellectual property issues, digital rights management, taxation, gambling, security, illegal or obscene content, retransmission of media, and personal privacy and data protection apply to the internet. However, the vast majority of such laws were adopted before the advent of the internet and related technologies and their applicability to the internet continues to evolve.  

In addition to potential legislation from local, state, federal and foreign governments, labor guild agreements and other laws and regulations that impose fees, royalties or unanticipated payments regarding the distribution of media over the internet may directly or indirectly affect our business. While we and our customers may be directly affected by such agreements, we are not a party to such agreements and have little ability to influence the degree such agreements favor or disfavor internet distribution or our business models. Changes to or the interpretation of these laws and the entry into such industry agreements could:

·
limit the growth of the internet;
·
create uncertainty in the marketplace that could reduce demand for our services;
·
increase our cost of doing business;
·
expose us to increased litigation risk, substantial defense costs and significant liabilities associated with content available on our websites or distributed or accessed through our services, with our provision of services, and with the features or performance of our websites;
·
lead to increased development costs or otherwise harm our business; or
·
decrease the rate of growth of our user base and limit our ability to effectively communicate with and market to our user base.

The U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) includes statutory licenses for the performance of sound recordings and for the making of recordings to facilitate transmissions. Under these statutory licenses, we and third party channel owners may be required to pay licensing fees for digital sound recordings we deliver in original and archived programming and through retransmissions of radio broadcasts. The DMCA does not specify the rate and terms of the licenses, which are determined by arbitration proceedings, known as CARP proceedings, supervised by the U.S. Copyright Office. Past CARP proceedings have resulted in proposed rates for statutory webcasting that were significantly in excess of rates requested by webcasters. CARP proceedings relating to music subscription and non-subscription services offering music programming that qualify for various licenses under U.S. copyright law are pending. We cannot predict the outcome of these CARP proceedings and may elect instead to directly license music content for our subscription and/or non-subscription services, either alone or in concert with other affected companies. Such licenses may only apply to music performed in the United States, and the availability of corresponding licenses for international performances is unclear. Therefore, our ability to find rights holders and negotiate appropriate licenses is uncertain. We and third party channel owners may be affected by these rates, which may negatively impact our revenues. Depending on the rates and terms adopted for the statutory licenses, our business could be harmed both by increasing our own cost of doing business, as well as by increasing the cost of doing business for third party channel owners. We anticipate future CARPs relating to music subscription delivery services, which may also adversely affect the online distribution of music.

The Child Online Protection Act and the Child Online Privacy Protection Act impose civil and criminal penalties on persons distributing material harmful to minors (e.g., obscene material) over the internet to persons under the age of 17, or collecting personal information from children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly distribute harmful materials to minors or collect personal information from children under the age of 13. The manner in which these Acts may be interpreted and enforced cannot be fully determined, and future legislation similar to these Acts could subject us to potential liability if we were deemed to be non-compliant with such rules and regulations, which in turn could harm our business.

There are a large number of legislative proposals before the United States Congress and various state legislatures regarding intellectual property, digital rights management, copy protection requirements, privacy, email marketing and security issues related to our business. It is not possible to predict whether or when such legislation may be adopted, and certain proposals, if adopted, could materially and adversely affect our business.

Employees

As of August 31, 2007, Narrowstep had a total of 72 employees of whom 24 were in operations, 21 in sales & marketing, 13 in administration, and 14 in research & development. To date, Narrowstep has been successful in recruiting and hiring individuals with the desired skills and experience.

None of Narrowstep's employees are represented by labor unions and Narrowstep has never experienced a work stoppage. We believe our employee relations are good.
 
Properties
 
We currently maintain offices in the United Kingdom and the United States. Our facilities in London holds our administrative, sales & marketing, customer service & developers which we believe will be adequate to meet our office space needs for the next several years as we currently utilize approximately 90% of the total office space.  On October 3, 2007 the company entered into a four year building lease with Philips and Feeley located in London.  On July 22, 2007 the company entered into a six year building lease with Princeton 202 Associates Limited Partnership located in Princeton, New Jersey.  We are in temporary space in Princeton, New Jersey and will occupy the new space on December 1, 2007.  These facilities predominantly hold our sales and sales support personnel as well as many of our senior executives and most of our back office staff.  As of November 30, 2007, we will no longer have offices in New York.

Legal Proceedings
 
During the fiscal year we were not involved in any legal proceedings.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
From May 16, 2005 to August 5, 2005, we sold an aggregate of 1,394,389 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.20 per share to non-U.S. investors in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act.  In connection with these sales, we also issued warrants for an aggregate of 630,000 shares with an exercise price of $1.20 per share to certain placement agents and their nominees.  We registered for resale those shares and the shares of common stock underlying the related warrants.  In addition, we also registered an aggregate of 398,138 shares and 2,716,770 shares underlying certain options and warrants issued to certain other persons.  We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of these shares by the selling stockholders.  We will however receive the proceeds from the cash exercise of warrants or options by the selling stockholders.
 
The table below sets forth information concerning the shares of common stock covered hereby, including a list of the stockholders whose shares have been registered for resale, the number of shares we believe to be beneficially owned by each of the stockholders as of October 15, 2007, the number of shares covered by this prospectus and the number of shares they will beneficially own if they sell all of the shares covered by this prospectus, based upon 124,944,487 shares being outstanding.
 
The number of shares that may be actually sold by any selling stockholder will be determined by the selling stockholder. Because the selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of the shares of common stock covered hereby, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares of common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of the offering. The column showing number of shares owned after the offering assumes that the selling stockholders will sell all of the shares covered by this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the date on which they provided the information, all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Corporate Governance and Board Composition

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board inter-dealer quotation system, which does not have director independence requirements. Under NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15), our board of directors is comprised of at least 50% independent directors. Our board of directors believes that it is useful and appropriate to have our Chief Executive Officer also serve as the chairman of our board of directors.

Board of Directors and Board Committees

The number of directors constituting the Board of Directors is currently fixed at nine.  Narrowstep’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation divides the Board of Directors into three classes. The members of each class of directors serve for staggered three-year terms. The Board of Directors is composed of (i) one Class I director (Mr. Whyte), whose term expires upon the election and qualification of directors at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2008, (ii) two Class II directors (Messrs. Edmonds and Werner), whose terms expire upon the election and qualification of directors at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2009, and (iii) two Class III directors (Messrs. Jones and McCourt), whose terms expire upon the election and qualification of directors at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2010.

Our executive officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors. We have a standing audit committee of the Board of Directors.  The members of the audit committee are Messrs. Whyte, and Edmonds.  Mr. Whyte qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the SEC regulations.  The audit committee oversees the retention, performance and compensation of our independent auditors, and oversees and establishes procedures concerning systems of internal accounting and control.

We have a standing compensation committee of the Board of Directors. The members of the compensation committee consist of Messrs. Whyte and  Werner. The compensation committee's duties are to review and evaluate the salaries and incentive compensation of our management and employees and administer our 2004 Stock Plan.
 
Code of Ethics
 
We have adopted a code of ethics that is applicable to our officers, directors and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

Indemnity Agreements

Narrowstep has entered into an indemnity agreement with each of its directors and certain of its executive officers containing provisions that may require Narrowstep, among other things, to indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law its executive officers and directors against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as executive officers or directors and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
Narrowstep’s authorized capital stock consists of 450,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.000001 per share.  The following summary description of Narrowstep’s capital stock is qualified by reference to Narrowstep’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) and Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “By-Laws”) which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.  As of October 15, 2007, Narrowstep had 124,944,487 fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. In addition, Narrowstep had outstanding options and warrants exercisable for 51,630,813   shares of common stock as of October 15, 2007.
 
Common Stock
 
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. Directors are elected by a majority of the votes of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting.  The holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such lawful dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors.  However, such dividends are subject to preferences that may be applicable to the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock.  We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future.  In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of Narrowstep, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata all of the remaining assets of Narrowstep available for distribution to its stockholders.  Any such pro rata distribution would be subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock.  The common stock has no preemptive, redemption, conversion or subscription rights.  All of the outstanding shares of our common stock are, and the shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants will be, when issued, fully paid and nonassessable.  The rights, powers, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock which Narrowstep may designate and issue in the future.
 
Preferred Stock
 
The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by Delaware law, without further stockholder approval, to issue from time to time up to an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, in one or more series.  The Board of Directors is also authorized, subject to the limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to establish the number of shares to be included in each series and to fix the designations, preferences, rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of any series, including the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption terms and prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series.  The Board of Directors is authorized to issue preferred stock with voting, conversion and other rights and preferences that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock.
 
As of August 31, 2007, Narrowstep had no shares of preferred stock outstanding.  Narrowstep has no current plans to issue any preferred stock. However, the issuance of preferred stock or of rights to purchase preferred stock could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, a majority of the outstanding common stock of Narrowstep.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
The Charter provides that no director of Narrowstep shall be personally liable to Narrowstep or to its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except that the limitation shall not eliminate or limit liability to the extent that the elimination or limitation of such liability is not permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.
 
The Charter further provides for the indemnification of Narrowstep's directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, including circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary. A principal effect of these provisions is to limit or eliminate in most situations the potential liability of Narrowstep's directors for monetary damages arising from breaches of their duty of care. These provisions may also shield directors from liability under federal and state securities laws.
 
Narrowstep has entered into an indemnity agreement with each of its directors and certain of its executive officers containing provisions that may require Narrowstep, among other things, to indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law its executive officers and directors against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as executive officers or directors and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.
 
Officers, directors or other persons controlling Narrowstep may be entitled under these indemnification provisions to indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Narrowstep pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Delaware Law and Narrowstep’s Amended and Restated By-Laws, Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and Delaware Law
 
Narrowstep's Charter, Narrowstep's By-Laws and Delaware General Corporation Law contain provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of Narrowstep or an acquisition of Narrowstep at a price which many stockholders may find attractive.  The existence of these provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
 
Charter and By-laws
 
The Charter provides for the division of the Board of Directors into three classes as nearly as equal in size as possible with staggered three-year terms, although two classes are currently up for election at the same time as a result of our not holding an annual meeting in 2005.  In addition, the Charter provides that directors may be removed without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of 75% of the shares of capital stock of Narrowstep entitled to vote or with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares.  The By-Laws provide that, except as otherwise provided by law or the Charter, newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors or vacancies on the Board may be filled only by:

·
a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum may then be in office, or
·
the sole remaining director.

These provisions prevent a stockholder from enlarging the Board and filling the new directorships with this stockholder's own nominees without Board approval.  These provisions of the By-Laws may have the effect of discouraging a third party from initiating a proxy contest, making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to gain control of Narrowstep, or attempting to change the composition or policies of the Board, even though these attempts might be beneficial to Narrowstep or its stockholders.
 
The Charter provides that, unless otherwise prescribed by law, only the Chairman of the Board, a majority of the Board of Directors, or the President is able to call a special meeting of stockholders.  The Charter and the By-Laws also provide that, unless otherwise prescribed by law, stockholder action may be taken only at a duly called and convened annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be taken by written consent. These provisions, taken together, prevent stockholders from forcing consideration by the stockholders of stockholder proposals over the opposition of the Board, except at an annual meeting.
 
The By-Laws provide that any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of Narrowstep at an annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders may only be taken if Narrowstep is given proper advance notice of the action (the “Notice Procedure”).  The Notice Procedure affords the Board an opportunity to consider the qualifications of proposed director nominees or the merit of stockholder proposals, and, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Board, to inform stockholders about such matters.  The Notice Procedure also provides a more orderly procedure for conducting annual meetings of stockholders.  The By-Laws do not give the Board any power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations for the election of directors or proposals for action.  However, the Notice Procedure may prevent a contest for the election of directors or the consideration of stockholder proposals.  This could deter a third party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or to approve its own proposal if the proper advance notice procedures are not followed, without regard to whether consideration of such nominees or proposals might be harmful or beneficial to Narrowstep and its stockholders.
 
37

 
Narrowstep, without stockholder approval, can issue shares of common stock and preferred stock up to the number of shares authorized for issuance in its Charter.  Narrowstep could use these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes.  These purposes include future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans.  Narrowstep's ability to issue these shares of common stock and preferred stock could make it more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of Narrowstep by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
 
The General Corporation Law of Delaware provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares issued and outstanding is required to amend a corporation's certificate of incorporation or by-laws, unless a corporation's certificate of incorporation or by-laws, as the case may be, requires a greater percentage.  The Charter requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of our capital stock to amend many Charter provisions, including provisions relating to any reduction in the number of authorized shares of our capital stock, our staggered Board, and director and officer indemnification.  The Charter and the By-Laws require the affirmative vote of the Board or the holders of at least 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Narrowstep entitled to vote to amend or repeal any of the provisions of the By-Laws.  The 75% stockholder vote would be in addition to any separate class vote that might be required pursuant to the General Corporation Law of Delaware or the terms of any series of preferred stock that might be outstanding at the time any amendments are submitted to stockholders.
 
Delaware Law

Narrowstep is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder.
 
Section 203 does not apply if:

·  
prior to such time, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

·  
upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

·  
at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3%of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

The application of Section 203 may limit the ability of stockholders to approve a transaction that they may deem to be in their best interests.
 
Section 203 defines “business combination” to include generally:

·  
any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

·  
any sale, lease, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation to or with the interested stockholder;

·  
subject to limited exceptions, any transaction which results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
 
38

 
·  
any transaction involving the corporation which has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or

·  
the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation or an affiliate or associate of the corporation which was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within the past three years, and any entity or person associated with, affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.

* The OTC Bulletin Board first began publishing quotations for our common stock on September 13, 2005

On November 19, 2007, the closing price of our common stock was $0.16 per share.

As of November 19, 2007 we had 124,944,487 shares outstanding.  There can be no assurance that an active trading market for our shares will ever develop in the United States, or elsewhere. In the event that no active trading market for the shares develops, it will be extremely difficult for stockholders to dispose of the shares. In the event an active trading market develops, there can be no assurance that the market will be strong enough to absorb all of the shares which may be offered for sale by the stockholders.

There is a limited trading market for our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board. The trading price of our shares is highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results, announcements of technological innovations, new sales forecasts, or new products and services by us or our competitors, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, conditions or trends in internet markets, changes in the market valuations of other business service providers providing similar services or products, announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, capital commitments, additions or departures of key personnel, sales of shares and other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control. Consequently, future announcements concerning us or our competitors, litigation, or public concerns as to the commercial value of one or more of our products or services may cause the market price of our shares to fluctuate substantially for reasons which may be unrelated to operating results. These fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our shares. In addition, because our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, price quotations will reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commissions, and may not represent actual transactions.
 
39

 
In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of many companies. These broad market factors may materially adversely affect the market price of the shares, regardless of our operating performance.

Impact of the “Penny Stock” Rules on Buying or Selling Our Shares. The SEC has adopted penny stock regulations which apply to securities traded over-the- counter. Our shares are subject to these regulations. These regulations generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an equity security of an issuer with net tangible assets of less than $5,000,000 as indicated in audited financial statements, if the corporation has been in continuous operations for less than three years. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the rules for any transaction involving a penny stock require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document prepared by the broker-dealer that contains certain information describing the nature and level of risk associated with investments in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Monthly account statements must be sent by the broker-dealer disclosing the estimated market value of each penny stock held in the account or indicating that the estimated market value cannot be determined because of the unavailability of firm quotes. In addition, the rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000). These practices require that, prior to the purchase, the broker-dealer determined that transactions in penny stocks were suitable for the purchaser and obtained the purchaser's written consent to the transaction. If a market for our common stock does develop and our shares trade below $5.00 per share, our common stock will be a penny stock. Consequently, the penny stock rules will likely restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our shares and will likely affect the ability of purchasers in the offering to sell our shares in the secondary market.

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

- ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

- block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

- purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

- an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

- privately negotiated transactions;

- short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

- through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

- broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; and

- a combination of any such methods of sale.

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.  The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume.  The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.  The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any.  Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents.  We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any exercise of the warrants or options by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the warrants or options.

The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act.  Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.  Selling stockholders who are "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.  In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates.  In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.  The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Narrowstep Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Narrowstep Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of February 28, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended February 28, 2007.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of February 28, 2007, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for the years in the two year period ended February 28, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has reported significant losses from operations, had an accumulated deficit, utilized a significant amount of cash from operations, and requires additional financing to fund future operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

  NARROWSTEP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

1.      Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Going Concern at Fiscal year ending February 28, 2007

Narrowstep Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on May 9, 2002 and adopted a fiscal year-end of February 28 th (or 29 th ).  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Narrowstep Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Narrowstep Ltd. and Sportshows Television Ltd. (“STV”), (collectively, the “Company”).

Narrowstep Inc. is in the business of developing, producing, transmitting and managing, via the Internet, television-like channels of streaming video broadcasts which are tailored for, and targeted to, specific audiences.  Narrowstep Ltd. also offers a comprehensive range of related services which facilitate channel development, including consulting, channel design, maintenance, operation and content production. STV’s main business is the filming and production of sporting events, plus distribution of TV programs internationally. The main areas of specialization are water sports such as sail boat racing, windsurfing, and extreme sports such as mountain biking, skating and snow sports.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  The Company has incurred cumulative losses of approximately $19,600,000 since inception.  The Company has a working capital deficit of approximately $208,000 and has utilized cash from operations over the past two fiscal years of approximately $7,172,000.  These factors among others, raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
On March 2, 2007 the company raised $7,110,000 in a debt offering that is mandatorily convertible into common stock in a subsequent financing round (See Note 11).  With the completion of this financing the Company has sufficient working capital to fund our operations for the next six to nine months.  Management will continue to pursue various financing options in order to fully fund our longer term cash requirements.  In addition, we are making efforts to improve our financial position by evaluating ongoing operating expenses, increasing our effort to collect outstanding receivables and continuing to focus on increasing revenues.
 
There are currently no commitments in place for additional financing, nor can assurances be given that such financing will be available. While the Company is confident that it will raise the capital necessary to fund operations, there can be no assurances in that regard. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may arise as a result of this uncertainty.
 
Organization at six months ending August 31, 2007 (unaudited)

On August 8, 2007, we closed a private financing with a number of accredited investors for the sale of common stock and warrants for a total purchase price of $10,510,000. Pursuant to the financing we sold a total of 42,040,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.25 per share. We also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 21,020,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to adjustment.  The warrants are exercisable at any time on or prior to August 8, 2012.  The warrants contain customary anti-dilution provisions in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification or recapitalization of the Company.  In addition, the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment on a full-ratchet basis in the event that we issue or are deemed to have issued shares of common stock at an effective purchase price of less than $0.50 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  In the financing, we issued to the placement agents warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,706,400 shares of common stock.  Those warrants have the same terms as the warrants issued in the financing, except that the warrants issued to the placement agents have a cashless exercise right.  In connection with this financing, the Company’s $7,110,000 in outstanding mandatorily 12% convertible notes were automatically converted into an aggregate of 35,392,003 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.225 per share.
 
With the completion of this financing we will have sufficient working capital to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.
 
Basis of presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and are expressed in US dollars.  All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s two primary sources of revenue are production services and Internet TV channel building or “narrowcasting”.
 
Internet TV channel building service revenue includes the following: (i) consulting fees charged to assist customers in the design and development of the customer's channel, (ii) consulting fees related to recording and encoding of specific customer content, and (iii) monthly license fees charged for ongoing maintenance, support, upgrades and content hosting activity.  The minimum license period is 12 months unless it is an evaluation license.  Revenues for the consulting fees are only recognized once the design and development of the channel is completed and accepted by the customer.  Recording and encoding fees are due on delivery of the tapes or on completion of the upload of the encoded material onto the Company’s servers.  Monthly license fees are recognized month-by-month starting with the month when the channel starts narrowcasting.  Any up-front fees are deferred until the revenue is earned by either completion of the consulting activity or month-by-month hosting activity.

Production services revenues include the following:  (i) preparation, scripting  and filming of a single or multiple series of events,  (ii) live editing and encoding of such events, (iii) editing of footage and final production into programs in the Company’s editing suites, and (iv) copying and delivery of the programs.  Revenues are recognized once delivery of a program, in the form of edited tape, takes place.  If it is a series then payments are staged and revenues recognized on completion of each discrete program.  Any up-front fees are deferred and only recognized once the program, editing and production are complete.  Until the revenues are earned and recognized any cash received up-front is treated as unearned revenue and any costs incurred in connection with services that have not been completed are capitalized as prepaid expenses.
 
The Company’s revenue recognition policy complies with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (“SAB 101”), “Revenue Recognition”, amended by SAB 104. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
 
·  
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists – A non-cancelable signed agreement between the Company and the customer is considered to be evidence of an arrangement.
 
·  
Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered – Although deposits or prepayments are common with orders, revenues are recognized only on the delivery of content or channel or service.  Revenue from resellers is recognized upon sell-through to the end customer.
 
·  
The seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable – All our customers sign a written contract that states the price the customer will pay for the monthly license fee and for the bandwidth and storage usage.  Our contracts terms are typically 12 months.  If the customer decides to cancel a channel, all of the development work, content production, initial license and monthly license fees to-date remain due and non-cancelable.
 
·  
Collectibility is reasonably assured – The Company runs normal business credit checks on unknown new customers to minimize the risk of a customer avoiding payment.  Collection is deemed probable if the Company expects that the customer will be able to pay amounts under the arrangement as payments become due. If the Company determines that collection is not probable, the revenue is deferred and recognized upon cash collection.  The Company also seeks a deposit wherever possible before commencing work on a new contract.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," approximates the carrying amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheet.
 
50

 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For the purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly-liquid debt instruments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At February 28, 2007 cash and cash equivalents consisted of checking and money market accounts aggregating $466,870.  As of February 28, 2007 and at various times during the year, balances of cash at financial institutions exceeded the federally insured limit.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not subject to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

As of August 31, 2007 cash and cash equivalents consisted of checking and money market accounts aggregating $10,170,561 (unaudited)

Short-Term Investments
 
As of February 28, 2007, there were no short-term investments.  Short-term investments as of February 28, 2006 consisted of a certificate of deposit which matured on September 25, 2006 .
 
As of August 31, 2007, there were no short-term investments (unaudited).
 
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
Accounts receivable represent uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms generally requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Follow-up calls and correspondence is made if unpaid accounts receivable go beyond the invoice due date. Payments of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice.
 
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management individually reviews all accounts receivable balances that exceed the due date and estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Costs of additions and substantial improvements to property and equipment are also capitalized.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations, while betterments and improvements are capitalized.  The Company computes depreciation and amortization for all property and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets.  The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows: Computer & other Equipment are 3 years, Furniture and Fixtures are 4 years, Motor Vehicles are 4 years and Leasehold improvements are over the term of the lease.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company adheres to SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” and periodically assesses the recoverability of the carrying amounts of long-lived assets, including intangible assets.  A loss is recognized when expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset.  The impairment loss is the difference by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

Software Development Costs
 
The Company accounts for its internal use software under SOP 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed for or Obtained for Internal Use”, which requires the capitalization of certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software for internal use.  Capitalized software development costs consist primarily of programmers' compensation and benefits, where applicable.  These costs are amortized over a period not to exceed three years beginning when the asset is substantially ready for use.  Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage, as well as maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred.
 
During the years ended February 28, 2007 and 2006, the Company capitalized $120,136 and $101,776 respectively, and recorded amortization expense of $128,491 and $129,850, respectively.
 
51

 
During the six months ended August 31, 2007, the Company capitalized $144,588 and recorded amortization expense of $49,062 (unaudited)
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the purchase method.  In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually.  Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives, which range from three to seven years.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation.”  For operations outside the United States that prepare financial statements in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, statement of operations amounts are translated at an average exchange rate for the year.  Assets and liabilities are translated at period end exchange rates. Translation adjustments are presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity.  Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
Advertising and Promotional Costs
 
Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred.  Such costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  Advertising and promotional costs charged to operations were $457,051 and $77,824 for the years ended February 28, 2007 and February 28, 2006, respectively.

Advertising and promotional costs charged to operations were $104,764 for the six months ended August 31, 2007 (unaudited).

Comprehensive Income
 
The Company complies with SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."  SFAS No. 130 establishes rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components.  SFAS No. 130 requires the Company's change in the foreign currency translation adjustments to be included in other comprehensive income (loss).

Income Taxes
 
Narrowstep Inc., the parent company, is a United States corporation and files corporate income tax returns in the United States.  Narrowstep Ltd. and STV are companies incorporated in England and Wales and, as such, file their own corporate income tax returns in the United Kingdom.  The provision for income taxes is based on reported income before income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided in accordance with SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”, for the effect of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts recognized for income tax purposes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using currently enacted tax laws and the effects of any changes in income tax laws are included in the provision for income taxes in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances are recognized to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. In assessing the likelihood of realization, the Company considers estimates of future taxable income, the character of income needed to realize future benefits and all available evidence.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (Revised).”  SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB No. 25 and its related implementation guidance.  SFAS No. 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services.  It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.  SFAS No. 123(R) focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.  SFAS No. 123(R) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions).  That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).  No compensation costs are recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.  The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available).  If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), effective March 1, 2006. Based on stock options that vested during the year ended February 28, 2007, the Company recorded approximately $702,000 in additional compensation expense for the year ended February 28, 2007, under SFAS No. 123(R).
 
52


 
Prior to March 1, 2006 the Company followed SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."  The provisions of SFAS No. 123 allowed companies to either expense the estimated fair value of stock options or to continue to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"), but disclose the pro forma effect on net income (loss) had the fair value of the options been expensed.

Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant or issue date prior to March 1, 2006 and consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company's net loss and loss per common share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Pension, Post-Retirement and Other Employee Benefit Plans
 
Certain employees of STV are covered by a non-contributory defined contribution pension plan.  Pension costs charged to operations were $12,330 and $12,250 for the years ended February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Pension costs charged to operations were $690 for the six months ended August 31, 2007 (unaudited).
 
Borrowings
 
An overdraft facility is a line of credit arrangement, negotiated with a bank and usually renewable on an annual basis, whereby the bank's customer is permitted to take its checking account into a debit balance on a pre-agreed interest basis up to an agreed amount. Amounts utilized under overdraft facilities are payable on demand.  At February 28, 2007 and February 28, 2006, the overdraft facilities consisted of approximately $19,600 and $70,000 with Barclays Bank PLC, respectively and approximately $39,000 and $34,000 with Natwest Bank PLC, respectively.  Neither facility was utilized on February 28, 2007. The interest rate on the Barclays facility is 5.75% above Barclays’ variable base rate (which base rate was 5.25% per annum as of February 28, 2007). The interest rate on the Natwest facility is 5.75% above Natwest's variable base rate (which base rate was 5.25% per annum as of February 28, 2007). The Barclays overdraft facility was renewed on February 17, 2007. The Natwest facility was renewed on May 31, 2007.
 
At August 31, 2007 the overdraft facilities consisted of $20,137 with Barclays Bank PLC and $40,274 with National Westminster Bank PLC.  Neither facility was utilized on August 31, 2007 (unaudited).
 
Impacts of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
53

 
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 48 clarifies what criteria must be met prior to recognition of the financial statement benefit of a position taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 will require companies to include additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures within their financial statements. The disclosures will include potential tax benefits from positions taken for tax return purposes that have not been recognized for financial reporting purposes and a tabular presentation of significant changes during each period. The disclosures will also include a discussion of the nature of uncertainties, factors which could cause a change, and an estimated range of reasonably possible changes in tax uncertainties.

FIN No. 48 will also require a company to recognize a financial statement benefit for a position taken for tax return purposes when it will be more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. FIN No. 48 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN No. 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

The presentation of the February 28, 2006 consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss has been reclassified to conform to the February 28, 2007 presentation.

3.      Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets relate to the Company’s acquisition of STV. At the end of the fiscal year, the Company evaluated the goodwill and intangible assets, and determined that these assets were impaired.  The carrying value of the goodwill of $1,157,581 was written off during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.  The net intangible assets, of $70,856 as of February 28, 2007, were also written off during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.
 
The reason for the impairment was due to several factors.  In the past the production segment has not been profitable and the Company is currently re-evaluating the products and services being offered by the production segment.  Several senior employees of STV are no longer employed with the Company.  The prospects or sales leads generated from this segment have been declining, and we have incurred significant bad debts related to the existing sales.

6.      Stock Option Plan

In December 2003, the Board of Directors adopted the Narrowstep Inc. 2004 Stock Option Plan.  The purpose of the stock option plan is to allow the Company to provide a means by which eligible employees, Board members and certain non-employees may be given an opportunity to benefit from increases in value of its common shares.  The stock option plan is administered by the Board of Directors. The Board is empowered to determine from time-to-time which of the persons eligible under the stock option plan shall be granted awards; when and how each award shall be granted; what type or combination of types of awards shall be granted; the provisions of each award granted, including the time or times when a person shall be permitted to receive common shares pursuant to an award; and the number of common shares with respect to which an award shall be granted to each person; to construe and interpret the stock option plan and awards granted under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration.
 
The Board, at any time, and from time to time, may amend the stock option plan.

Management regularly assesses the ability to realize deferred tax assets based upon the weight of available evidence, including such factors as the recent earnings history and expected future taxable income. The methodology used by management to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that are likely to be realized is based upon the Company’s recent earnings and estimated future taxable income in applicable tax jurisdictions.
 
The Company has not generated any taxable income to date, and therefore has not had to pay any income tax since its inception. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset since it is more likely than not that the asset will not be recovered.  For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007, the Company's net operating loss carryforward, at the expected tax rates for its operations, is approximately $5,570,000 which is deductible against future taxable income generated in the United Kingdom, which will remain in place until utilized and approximately $5,526,000 which is deductible against future taxable income generated in the United States, which will remain available until utilized or begin to expire through February 28, 2025.
 
8.      Reportable Segments

The Company complies with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.”  SFAS No. 131 requires disclosures of segment information on the basis that is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments.

Narrowstep Inc. manages its business as two main segments, Narrowstep Ltd. which consists of a single operating segment - “narrowcasting” (i.e. the provision of television channels to niche audiences globally), and STV’s business - the production of specialized sailing and extreme sports activities.
 
58

 
Management relies on an internal management reporting process that provides revenue and segment operating income (loss) for making financial decisions and allocating resources based on these segments. Management believes that segment-operating income (loss) is an appropriate measure of evaluating the operational performance of the Company's segments.  However, this measure should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, income (loss) from operations or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

10.           Commitments

When a lease is classified as an operating lease, the risks and rewards remain with the lessor and the lease expenses are treated as operating expense.
 
The Company has non-cancelable operating leases to occupy the following properties: Princeton NJ, which terminates on November 30, 2007; and New York, NY, which terminates on November 30, 2007.   On July 22, 2007 the company entered into a six year building lease with Princeton 202 Associates Limited Partnership located in Princeton, New Jersey which we will occupy on December 1, 2007.  On October 3, 2007 the company entered into a four year building lease with Philips and Feeley located in London (unaudited).

When a lease is classified as a capital lease, the present value of the lease expenses is treated as debt. Assets held under capital leases are capitalized in the balance sheet and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.  The interest element of the rental obligation is charged to the Statements of Operations over the period of the lease and represents a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayment outstanding.
 
As of February 28, 2007, our principal capital commitments consisted of obligations outstanding under capital leases as shown in the table below:

Except as set forth below, all sales made beginning and after May, 2004 were made in reliance upon Regulation S to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions with no directed selling efforts in the United States.  In accordance with Regulation S, the certificates evidencing such issuances bore restrictive legends and the Narrowstep bylaws contained a provision requiring refusal of transfers not made in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration.  The issuances made in December 2004 and January 2005 for $0.20 were made to non-U.S. persons outside the United States and with no directed selling efforts in the United States in reliance on the general statement in Rule 901 promulgated under the Securities Act and the SEC’s analysis of that rule and offshore offerings set forth in Release No. 33-6863 (1990).  All other issuances were made to accredited investors in reliance on Rule 506 under the Securities Act.
 
On March 2, 2007, we closed a private financing with a number of accredited investors for the sale of our 12% Mandatorily Convertible Notes and warrants for a total purchase price of $7,110,000.  The notes, which were to mature on March 2, 2009, bore interest at 12% per annum, payable at maturity.  The Notes were mandatorily convertible at a 10% discount into securities we issued in any subsequent private placement that resulted in gross proceeds to us of at least $3,000,000 or, in the event of a sale of the Company prior thereto, shares of common stock valued at a discount of 10% to the per share price to be paid in the Company sale.  The warrants are exercisable at any time on or prior to March 2, 2012 for an aggregate of 3,555,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share, subject to adjustment.  The Company has the right to force the cash exercise of the warrants if the common stock trades at or above $1.80 per share for at least 20 consecutive trading days.  Both the notes and the warrants contain customary anti-dilution provisions in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification or recapitalization of the Company.  In the financing, we issued to the placement agents warrants to purchase an aggregate of 75,875 shares of common stock.  Those warrants have the same terms as the warrants issued in the financing.

On August 8, 2007, we closed a private financing with a number of accredited investors for the sale of common stock and warrants for a total purchase price of $10,510,000. Pursuant to the financing we sold a total of 42,040,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.25 per share. We also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 21,020,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to adjustment.  The warrants are exercisable at any time on or prior to August 8, 2012.  The warrants contain customary anti-dilution provisions in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification or recapitalization of the Company.  In addition, the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment on a full-ratchet basis in the event that we issue or are deemed to have issued shares of common stock at an effective purchase price of less than $0.50 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  In the financing, we issued to the placement agents warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,706,400 shares of common stock.  Those warrants have the same terms as the warrants issued in the financing, except that the warrants issued to the placement agents have a cashless exercise right.  In connection with this financing, the Company’s $7,110,000 in outstanding mandatorily 12% convertible notes were automatically converted into an aggregate of 35,392,003 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.225 per share.

† Confidential portions of this agreement have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to an application for confidential treatment.
 
 
Item 28. Undertakings.
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which offer or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
II-7


 
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; and notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the laws or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a twenty percent (20%) change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and (iii) to include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company will treat each such post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of such securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
