NOTE 2 – RESTATEMENTS
In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company’s management determined that $100,000 of notes payable with 1 million warrants attached to the notes were not recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The note matured on June 15, 2009 and additional $50,000 in fees and 400,000 warrants were issued to the note holder as of June 30, 2009 but not timely recorded as originally filed. The adjustment to correct the above resulted in an increase in liability of $150,000 to record the notes and fees, $57,500 in additional paid-in-capital to record the fair value of the 1.4 million warrants and $107,500 in interest expense.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company’s management determined that there were errors in the accounting for the acquisition of XA The Experiential Agency, Inc, which resulted in the overstatement of intangibles, leasehold improvements, amortization related to the intangibles and leaseholder improvements and the bargain purchase gain.
Therefore, the Company is adjusting its previously reported September 30, 2009 consolidated statements of operations and cash flows in this September, 2010 quarterly filing. The following tables reflect the impact of the above errors to the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009:

This was paid on April 1, 2010 and as such as of March 31, 2010, the Company recognized this as a liability which is reported as “Due to sellers” in the consolidated balance sheets.
|
(2)
|
The fair value of the 1.5 million shares was determined based on the closing price at the acquisition date.
|
(3)
|
The fair value of the 250,000 warrants were determined using a Black-Scholes option valuation model using the following key assumptions: exercise price of $0.07 per share, stock price of $0.04, term of 5 years, expected volatility of 343% and a discount rate of 2.55%
|
(4)
|
The contingent consideration is based on the average net income of Audio Eye over a period of 4 years starting in 2010 after applying a multiple based on the average growth rate less any amounts of working capital contributions made by the Company to Audio Eye. The amount of working capital contribution to be made by the Company is a combination of a fixed amount of $470,000 plus a deferred working capital contribution payable within a period of 3 years and is based on the greater of Audio Eye’s achievement of certain sales targets or $1,000,000. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on Audio Eye’s projected net income from 2010 and 2013 and the application of a discount rate to the future payment to be made. After deducting the amount of working capital contribution, the amount of contingent consideration was deemed to be zero. At the end of each reporting period after the acquisition date, the contingent payment will be remeasured to its fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings.
|
(5)
|
The amount of bargain purchase gain recognized is provisional pending receipt of the final valuation of all identifiable assets acquired.
|
On March 6, 2009, the Company, through a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary CMGO Capital, Inc., a Nevada corporation, completed a Note Purchase Agreement with Bank of America to purchase the senior secured debt obligations of The Experiential Agency, Inc.

CMG also loaned The Experiential Agency, Inc. $100,000 in March 2009 which has been accounted for as part of the purchase price. On April 1, 2009, CMG Holdings, Inc. foreclosed on the note and completed the acquisition of the assets of The Experiential Agency, Inc.

NOTE 4: DEBT
During nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company borrowed $1,075,000 under five 13% Senior Secured Convertible Extendible Notes from third parties that will mature on July 1, 2011. The Company has the option to extend the maturity date of the notes for three months by paying an extension fee of 5% of the principal amounts, provided that the Company is not in default, In the event of default, the annual interest rate increases to 18%. As of September 30, 2010, the company has elected to extend the maturity date and has accrued the 5%. The notes are convertible into common shares at any time after the maturity date at $0.10 per share. In connection with the issuance of the notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase 5,375,000 common shares. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.10 per share and a term of 7 years. The conversion price of the notes and the exercise price of the warrants contain reset provisions. If the closing market price of the stock is less than the conversion and exercise price for a period of 90 consecutive trading days, then the conversion and exercise price in effect shall be reduced to the closing market price on such 90th trading days but both conversion and exercise price shall not be reduced to less than $0.07 per share. The notes are secured by a security interest in all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The relative fair value of these warrants was calculated using Black-Scholes Model using these assumptions (1) 2.4% to 3.3% discount rate, (2) warrant life of seven years (3) expected volatility of 343% to 347% and (4) zero expected dividend. The relative fair value of the warrants was determined to be $142,931 and was recorded as a debt discount. The debt discount is being amortized and recorded as interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method. Amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $46,951. In connection with the above transaction, the Company paid the placement agent 10% of the gross proceeds and warrants to purchase 1,397,000 common shares. The fair value of these warrants was calculated using Black-Scholes Model using these assumptions (1) 2.4% to 3.3% discount rate, (2) warrant life of seven years (3) expected volatility of 343% to 347% (4) zero expected dividend. The fair value of the warrants was determined to be $43,127 and was recorded as a deferred financing cost. The total deferred financing cost which includes the $107,500 of placement agent fees is being amortized and recorded as interest expense over the term of the note using the effective interest method. Amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $51,509. We analyzed the convertible note and warrants issued for derivative accounting consideration and determined that derivative accounting is not applicable for these instruments.
On April 1, 2010, the Company fully paid its $125,000 loan to JT Ventures, LLC.

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND INVESTMENTS
In September 2006, the FASB issued ASC 820 which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 were effective January 1, 2008. ASC 820 delays the effective date for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.
As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of September 30, 2010. As required by ASC 820, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Securities and Investments
The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities”, regarding marketable securities. The Company invests in securities that are intended to be bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term, and as a result, classifies such investments as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with changes in fair value being reflected as unrealized gains or losses in the current period. In addition, the Company classifies the cash flows from purchases, sales, and maturities of trading securities as cash flows from operating activities.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth as of November 22, 2010, information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock by (i) each person known by the Company to own beneficially 5% or more of such stock, (ii) each Director of the Company who owns any Common Stock, and (iii) all Directors and Officers as a group, together with their percentage of beneficial holdings of the outstanding shares. The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option or other right. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date plus the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable community property laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK FACTORS
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS MAY HAVE AN IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION IN WAYS THAT WE CURRENTLY CANNOT PREDICT
The global economy has experienced a significant contraction, with an unprecedented lack of consumer credit within the credit markets and the shift away from discretionary spending within the marketing, communications. The decrease in the economic activity in the United States and in the commercial sectors in which we conduct business could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Continued tightness within the credit markets, volatility, instability and economic weakness of our clients marketing budgets and decrease in discretionary consumer spending associated with our clients business spending may result in a reduction in our revenues.
BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF IT LOSES KEY CLIENTS AND KEY MANAGEMENT
The Company’s loss of one or more significant clients could materially affect results of the Company on a consolidated basis. Our Management is critically important to ongoing results of the Company because, as in any service business, success of the Company is mainly dependent upon the leadership of key executives and management. If key executives were to leave any of our operating divisions, the relationships that the Company has with its clients could be adversely affected.
COMPETITION FOR CLIENTS IN HIGHLY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRIES
The Company operates in a very competitive industry characterized by numerous firms of varying sizes, with no group of firms having dominant positions in the marketplace. Competitive factors include creative expertise, executive management’s, personal relationships, quality and reliability of service and expertise in particular niche areas of the marketplace. In addition, our company’s principal asset is its people, barriers to entry are minimal, and relatively small firms may be on occasion able to take some portion of a client’s business from a larger competitor. While many of the Company’s client relationships are long-standing, clients may at times place their marketing services businesses up for competitive review from time to time, including at times when clients enter into strategic transactions. To the extent that the Company fails to maintain existing clients or attract new clients, the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results may be affected in a materially adverse manner.
ABILITY TO GENERATE NEW BUSINESS FROM NEW AND EXISTING CLIENTS MAY BE LIMITED
To increase revenues, the Company needs to obtain additional clients, generate demand for additional services from existing clients and partner with external marketing firms to mutually service as single or multiple of clients. The company’s ability to generate demand for its services from new clients, additional demand from existing clients partner with external marketing firms to mutually service as single or multiple of clients is subject to clients’ requirements, pre-existing vendor relationships, financial condition, strategic plans and internal resources, as well as the quality of the Company’s employees, services and reputation and the breadth of its services. To the extent the Company cannot generate new business from new and existing clients due to these limitations; it will limit the Company’s ability to grow its business and to increase its revenues.
REVENUES ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DECLINES AS A RESULT OF GENERAL ADVERSE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS
The marketing communications services industry is cyclical and is subject to the negative effects of economic downturns. The Company’s marketing services operations are also exposed to the risk of clients changing their business plans and/or reducing their marketing budgets. As a result, if the U.S. markets and economies continue to weaken, our businesses, financial condition and gross revenues are likely to be negatively affected may be suspect to declines from quarter to quarter or from year to year.
BENEFITS EXPECTED FROM CURRENT ACQUISITION OR PRIOR ACQUISITIONS MADE IN THE FUTURE MAY NOT BE REALIZED
The Company’s business strategy includes ongoing efforts to engage in material acquisitions of ownership interests in entities in the marketing communications services industry. The Company intends to finance these acquisitions by using any available cash from operations, through incurrence of debt or bridge financing or by issuing equity, which may have a dilutive impact on its existing shareholders. At any given time the Company may be engaged in a number of discussions that may result in one or more material acquisitions. These opportunities require confidentiality and may involve negotiations that require quick responses by the Company. Although there is uncertainty that any of these discussions will result in definitive agreements or the completion of any transactions, the announcement of any such transaction may lead to increased volatility in the trading price of its securities.
The success of acquisitions or strategic investments depends on the effective integration of newly acquired businesses into the Company’s current operations. Such integration is subject to risks and uncertainties, including realization of anticipated synergies and cost savings, the ability to retain and attract personnel and clients, the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns, and undisclosed or potential legal liabilities of the acquired company. The Company may not realize the strategic and financial benefits that it expects from any of its past acquisitions, or any future acquisitions.
BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF IT LOSES OR FAILS TO ATTRACT KEY EMPLOYEES
Our executive management and our employees, including creative, research, media, account and their skills and relationships with clients, are among the Company’s most critically important assets. An important aspect of the Company’s competitiveness is its ability to retain key employee and executive management. The compensation for these key employees is an essential factor in attracting and retaining them and the Company may not offer a level of compensation sufficient to attract and retain these key employees. If the Company fails to hire and retain a sufficient number of these key employees, it may not be able to compete effectively.
BUSINESS EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF CLIENT MEDIA ACCOUNT DEFAULTS
The Company often incurs expenses on behalf of its clients in order to secure a variety of opportunities in exchange for which it receives a fee. While the Company acts to prevent against default on payment for these services and have historically had a very low incidence of default, the Company is still exposed to the risk of significant uncollectible receivables from our clients.
SUBJECT TO REGULATIONS THAT COULD RESTRICT ITS ACTIVITIES OR NEGATIVELY IMPACT ITS REVENUES
Marketing communications businesses are subject to government regulation, both domestic and foreign. There has been an increasing tendency in the United States on the part of advertisers to resort to litigation and self-regulatory bodies to challenge comparative advertising on the grounds that the advertising is false and deceptive. Moreover, there has recently been an expansion of specific rules, prohibitions, media restrictions, labeling disclosures and warning requirements with respect to advertising for certain products. Representatives within government bodies, both domestic and foreign, continue to initiate proposals to ban the advertising of specific products and to impose taxes on or deny deductions for advertising which, if successful, may have an adverse effect on advertising expenditures and consequently the Company’s revenues.
COMPANY DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS BENEFICIALLY OWN A SUBSTANTIAL PERCENTAGE OF THE COMPANY’S OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK, WHICH GIVES THEM CONTROL OVER CERTAIN MAJOR DECISIONS ON WHICH STOCKHOLDERS MAY VOTE, WHICH MAY DISCOURAGE AN ACQUISITION OF THE COMPANY
In the aggregate, the directors and executive officers as a group collectively own approximately 35% of the Company’s outstanding shares. The interests of the Company’s management may differ from the interests of other stockholders and as a result, the Company’s executive management may have the ability to control virtually all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how the Company’s other stockholders may vote, including electing or defeating the election of directors; amending or preventing amendment of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; effecting or preventing a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and controlling the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for vote. The Company’s management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from seeking to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, which in turn could reduce the Company’s stock price or prevent the Company’s stockholders from realizing a premium over the Company’s stock price.

PUBLIC COMPANY COMPLIANCE MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public entity, the Company expects these new rules and regulations to increase compliance costs in 2009 and beyond and to make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public entity, the Company also expects that these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for the Company to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future and it may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for the Company to attract and retain qualified persons to serve as directors or as executive officers.
THERE IS CURRENTLY NO LIQUID TRADING MARKET FOR THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK AND THE COMPANY CANNOT ENSURE THAT ONE WILL EVER DEVELOP OR BE SUSTAINED
The Company’s common stock is currently approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board trading under the symbol CMGO.OB. However, there is limited trading activity and not currently a liquid trading market. There is no assurance as to when or whether a liquid trading market will develop, and if such a market does develop, there is no assurance that it will be maintained. Furthermore, for companies whose securities are quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “OTCBB”), it is more difficult (1) to obtain accurate quotations, (2) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about such companies, and (3) to obtain needed capital. As a result, purchasers of the Company’s common stock may have difficulty selling their shares in the public market, and the market price may be subject to significant volatility.
THE COMPANY’S STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE
The market price of the Company’s common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including the following: technological innovations or new products and services by the Company or its competitors; additions or departures of key personnel; limited “public float” following the Reorganization , in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for the common stock; the Company’s ability to execute its business plan; operating results that fall below expectations; loss of any strategic relationship; industry developments; economic and other external factors; and period-to-period fluctuations in the Company’s financial results. In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.
OFFERS OR AVAILABILITY FOR SALE OF A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK MAY CAUSE THE PRICE OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE OR COULD AFFECT THE COMPANY’S ABILITY TO RAISE ADDITIONAL WORKING CAPITAL
If the Company’s current stockholders seek to sell substantial amounts of common stock in the public market either upon expiration of any required holding period under Rule 144 or pursuant to an effective registration statement, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as “overhang,” in anticipation of which the market price of the Company’s common stock could fall substantially. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make it more difficult for the Company to raise additional financing in the future through sale of securities at a time and price that the Company deems acceptable.
THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK IS CURRENTLY DEEMED TO BE “PENNY STOCK”, WHICH MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS TO SELL THEIR SHARES
The Company’s common stock is currently subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If the Company remains subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for the Company’s securities. If the Company’s securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of the Company’s securities.
THE ELIMINATION OF MONETARY LIABILITY AGAINST THE COMPANY’S DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES UNDER NEVADA LAW AND THE EXISTENCE OF INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS TO THE COMPANY’S DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES MAY RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL EXPENDITURES BY THE COMPANY AND MAY DISCOURAGE LAWSUITS AGAINST THE COMPANY’S DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
The Company’s certificate of incorporation does not contain any specific provisions that eliminate the liability of directors for monetary damages to the Company and the Company’s stockholders; however, the Company is prepared to give such indemnification to its directors and officers to the extent provided by Nevada law. The Company may also have contractual indemnification obligations under its employment agreements with its executive officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in the Company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which the Company may be unable to recoup.
These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage the Company from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by the Company’s stockholders against the Company’s directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management has evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) as of the end of the period covered by this report and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been made known to them in a timely fashion. We are in the process of improving our internal control over financial reporting in an effort to remediate these deficiencies through improved supervision and training of our accounting staff. These deficiencies have been disclosed to our Board of Directors. We believe that this effort is sufficient to fully remedy these deficiencies and we are continuing our efforts to improve and strengthen our control processes and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and directors will continue to work with our auditors and other outside advisors to ensure that our controls and procedures are adequate and effective.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company s internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject to certain claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. On September 2, 2010, the Company became aware that it had been named as a Defendant in a lawsuit filed by a former employee in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The complaint alleges breach of employee contract and entitlement to additional equity in the Company. The Company disagrees with the allegations contained in the Complaint and intends to vigorously defend the matter and otherwise enforce its rights with respect to the matter. Although the Company has not been served with the lawsuit, the Company has retained counsel and is prepared to defend this lawsuit in the event that it is eventually served with process. The Company believes that all of the employee's claims are frivolous or are barred pursuant to the terms of the contract or various releases executed in favor of the Company by the employee. If served, the Company will seek damages against the former employee regarding breach of his employment agreement, his non-compete agreements and other causes of action. The case is still ongoing and the matter remains unresolved.
Registrant is a smaller reporting company and is therefore not required to provide this information.

The conversion price of the Notes and the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted in connection with stock splits, dividends, mergers, reclassifications and similar transactions. In addition, if at any time the closing market price of the Common Stock is less than the conversion price or exercise price for a period of 90 consecutive trading days, then the conversion price or exercise price in effect shall be reduced to the closing market price of the Common Stock on such 90th trading day; provided that in no event shall the conversion price or exercise price be reduced to less than $0.07 per share pursuant to this provision. The investors also received certain registration rights pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement. In connection with this transaction, the Company paid the placement agent 10% of the gross proceeds and warrants to purchase 32,500 shares of Common Stock. The sale of securities discussed above was made solely to accredited investors and was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
