NOTE 1
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Musician
s Exchange was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 4, 2008 and developed an internet destination and marketplace for musicians. On September 28, 2010, Musician
s Exchange amended its articles of incorporation to change its name from Musician
s Exchange to Voice Assist, Inc. (
the Company
).
On July 22, 2010, the Company entered into the following:
(1) An Agreement of Purchase and Sales of Assets with SpeechPhone, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company (
Speechphone
) to purchase substantially all of the assets of Speechphone in exchange for 10,250,000 shares of common stock and also agreed to issue 2,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock in exchange for extinguishment of $1,700,000 in debt;
(2) An Agreement of Purchase and Sales of Assets with MDM Intellectual Property, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company (
MDM
) to purchase substantially all of the assets of MDM in exchange for 6,150,000 shares of common stock;
(3) An Agreement of Purchase and Sales of Assets with SpeechCard, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company (
SpeechCard
) to purchase substantially all of the assets of SpeechCard in exchange for 1,025,000 shares of common stock;
(4) An Agreement of Purchase and Sales of Assets with Voiceassist, a Delaware Limited Liability Company (
Voiceassist
) to purchase substantially all of the assets of Voiceassist in exchange for 2,050,000 shares of common stock; and
(5) An agreement to issue 1,025,000 shares to purchase Mr. Michael Metcalf
s concept, Music By Voice and shareholders agreed to cancel a total of 8,400,000 shares upon the close of the transaction.
On September 30, 2010, the transaction was closed and substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Speechphone and related entities listed above were acquired by the Company. For accounting purposes, the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Speechphone by the Company has been recorded as a reverse acquisition of a public company and recapitalization of Speechphone based on the factors demonstrating that Speechphone represents the accounting acquirer. The historic financial statements of Speechphone and related entities, while historically presented as an LLC equity structure, have been retroactively presented as a corporation for comparability purposes. The Company changed its business direction and is now a voice recognition technology company focused on enabling access to any information through any device using speech technology.

Notes To Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Basis of presentation
The condensed interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these condensed interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and notes thereto included in the Company
s 10-K filed on April 1, 2011. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
Results of operations for the interim period are not indicative of annual results.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Generally, matters subject to estimation and judgment include amounts related to asset impairments, useful lives of fixed assets and capitalization of costs for software developed for internal use. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of interest-bearing bank accounts and money market funds. The Company
s cash positions represent cash on deposit in checking accounts. These assets are generally available on a daily basis and are highly liquid in nature.
Revenue Recognition
For recognizing revenue, the Company applies the provisions of the Revenue Recognition Topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board (
FASB
) Accounting Standards Codification (
ASC
). Revenues are generated from telephony services including activation fees, hardware fees and monthly usage fees. In most cases, the services performed do not require significant production, modification or customization of the Company
s software or services;
5

Notes To Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
therefore, revenues for the hardware fees and monthly usage fees are recognized when evidence of a completed transaction exists, when services have been rendered. The Company recognized revenue from sales of $534,138 and $673,851 during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The activation fees generated from new accounts are recorded as deferred revenue and are amortized over the estimated average customer relationship period. The net unamortized activation fees were $63,553 and $84,238 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The costs associated with these activation fees are recorded as deferred costs and are similarly amortized over the estimated average customer relationship period. The net unamortized costs are $15,890 and $21,061 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. For both the activation fees and costs associated therewith, the estimated average customer relationship period was 24 months for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Software Development Costs
The Company has adopted the provisions of the Software Topic of the FASB ASC 350 to account for its internally and externally developed software costs since the Company is dependent on the internal use automated speech recognition software to provide the enhanced services. The capitalization of software development costs begins when a product
s technological feasibility has been established and ends when the product is available for use. Software development costs include direct costs incurred subsequent to establishment of technological feasibility for significant product enhancements. Amortization is computed on an individual project basis using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the projected product, generally three to five years.
As of June 30, 2011, software development costs not yet amortized are $565,682. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, amortization was $48,604 and $0, respectively.
Impairment
FASB ASC 360-10-35-21 requires that long-lived assets to be held and used be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We regularly evaluate whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the carrying value of our long-lived assets may not be recoverable. If factors indicate the asset may not be recoverable, we compare the related undiscounted future net cash flows to the carrying value of the asset to determine if impairment exists. If the expected future net cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized based on the fair value of the asset. An evaluation of our intangible assets was conducted utilizing the two step impairment analysis. No impairments were indicated or recorded during three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Stock-based Payments
The Company records the stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees and other external entities for goods and services at either the fair market value of the goods received or services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in FASB ASC 505-50-30
Recent Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company
s financial statements upon adoption.
NOTE 2
GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates, but does not include adjustments for the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a limited operating history and limited funds. As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $5,937,230 and cash used by operations of $1,878,590 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and had a working capital deficit of $41,302 as of June 30, 2011. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company
s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company believes that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company is dependent upon debt and equity financing to continue operations. It is management
s plans to raise necessary funds via private placements of its common stock to satisfy the capital requirements of the Company
s business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the necessary funds through continuing debt and equity financing to have sufficient operating capital to support a level of operations to obtain a level of cash flow to sustain continuing operations. If the Company is successful in raising the necessary funds, there is no assurance that the Company will successfully implement its business plan. The Company
s continuation as a going concern is dependent on the Company
s ability to raise additional funds through a private placement of its common stock or debt sufficient to meet its obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitable operations.

OVERVIEW
Voice Assist is a hosted speech services provider offering cloud based speech recognition technology designed to voice enable mobile applications. Voice Assist provides hands-free safe driving applications such as voice dialing, email by voice, text by voice and posting to social networks by voice. Voice Assist also works with 3
rd
party developers to voice enable any mobile application. Voice Assist sells direct to the public via our website at
www.voiceassist.com
and also licenses technology and provides hosted services to enterprises, 3
rd
party developers, wireless and wireline service providers and value added resellers.
We believe that the presence of voice technology as an interface in mobile communications has real advantages in a mobile world. Voice interface technology makes portable communications more effective and safer to use. Our development efforts are currently focused on the mobile workforce and building vertical enterprise applications to, among other things, maximize employee productivity and safety while driving. Voice Assist is also focused on building tools to empower third party developers to add voice technology into existing applications.
Our strategy is to be a leader in cloud based speech recognition services. We want to leverage our infrastructure, technology, speech server farm, simple APIs and setup process, and expertise to provide a super easy, fast and cost effective means for developers to integrate to and deploy speech recognition technology without requiring a deep knowledge of speech application development or optimization.
Voice Assist and developers will build simple to use services with wide market appeal and augment this effort with vertical applications designed for specific purposes such as CRM, Healthcare, Insurance and other vertical markets. Voice Assist will monetize its Hosted Speech Platform (HSP) on a usage model or through its own services offerings built upon the HSP.
We intend to aggressively market our
safe driving
application and continue to form strategic alliances with value added resellers and carriers. We believe the combination of these activities will result in increased revenue over time.
15
How We Generate Revenue
We currently earn our revenues from enterprises and consumers who pay us a monthly recurring fee to use our services. We also generate revenue by hosting speech applications and providing enhanced communication services to resellers and other service providers. When the development portal is complete, we also expect to generate revenue on a pay per use basis and/or also based on revenue sharing with 3
rd
party application developers.
We anticipate revenue will increase in the next twelve months, for which we can provide no assurance. As a result, our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Revenues
.
Our revenues decreased to $534,138 in the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $673,851 last year, representing a 21% decrease year-over-year. The decrease in revenues is as a result of lower non-reimbursable engineering (NRE) revenue and retail subscribers disconnections due to a service outage by a service provider and the impact of the prevailing economic downturn. While we had redundancy and mitigation infrastructure in place, the lack of a timely response by our service provider led to a loss of subscribers. We have made additional investment and taken additional measures to ensure any such outage in the future will not have as material an impact on our revenues.
Total Cost of Services
.
Our total cost of services increased $79,662, or 46%, to $253,149 in the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $173,487 for the same period in 2010. The increase in our total cost of services is a result of the loss of retail subscribers due to a service outage by a service provider and fixed minimum commitments to that provider. We are disputing the fees based upon our loss of subscribers and anticipate a reversal of fees and subsequent lowering of cost of services in the future.
Legal and Professional
.
Our legal and professional expenses increased $507,428, or 20,297%, to $509,928for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $2,500 for the same period in 2010. The increase in legal and professional fees was the result of non-cash consulting expenses and legal fees incurred in connection with preparation and filing requirements as a public company, the preparation and filing of additional patent applications, investor relations fees, and outside auditor accounting fees.
Selling, General and Administrative
.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5,292,069 or 1,561%, to $5,631,011 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $338,942for the same period in 2010. The increase was largely due to $3.9MM in non-cash stock option compensation expense and other non-cash expense as well as increased payroll and travel related expenses as the Company expanded its executive staff and customer focus.
Selling, General and Administrative
Related Parties
.
Our selling, general and administrative
related parties
expenses decreased $153,566, or 100%, to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $153,566 in the same period in 2010. The decrease was the result of engaging non-related party professional staffing.
Depreciation and Amortization
.
Our depreciation and amortization expenses increased $54,361, or 253%, to $75,822 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $21,461 for the same period in 2010. The increase was the result of software development costs being amortized because one of the capitalized projects was launched at the beginning of 2011.
Net (Loss) from Operations
.
We had $5,935,772 in net loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to net loss from operations of $16,105 during the same period in 2010. The increased loss was the result of non-cash stock option compensation expense, increased expenses related to public reporting and compliance, and the increase in professional staffing.
18
Interest Expense
.
Our interest expense decreased $124,974, or 99%, to $1,126 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $126,100 in the same period in 2010. The decrease was the result of the elimination of loans from related parties on which interest was calculated and applied
Other Income
.
Our other income decreased $9,367 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $9,367 in the same period in 2010. The decrease was the result of discontinuing a sublease of office space.
Net Loss
.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we generated a net loss of $5,937,230, an increase of $5,804,392, or 4,370%, from a net loss of $132,838 for the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to non-cash stock option compensation expense, increased expenses related to public reporting and compliance, and the increase in professional staffing.

Liquidity is a measure of a company
s ability to meet potential cash requirements. We have historically met our capital requirements through the issuance of stock and by borrowings. In the future, we anticipate we will be able to provide the necessary liquidity needed from the revenues generated from operations.
Since inception, we have financed our cash flow requirements through issuance of common stock and related party notes payable. As we expand our activities, we may, and most likely will, continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations, pending additional revenues. Additionally, we anticipate obtaining additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings to the extent available or to obtain additional financing to the extent necessary to augment our working capital. In the future we need to generate sufficient revenues from product and software sales in order to eliminate or reduce the need to sell additional stock or obtain additional loans. There can be no assurance we will be successful in raising the necessary funds to execute our business plan.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the current assets decreased by $262,235 when compared to December 31, 2010 due to the cash requirements during the period. The Company received a total of $1,826,057cash from investors during the reporting period.
19
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the current liabilities decreased by $594,617 when compared to December 31, 2010 current liabilities of $1,071,462. The decrease can be attributed to the conversion of debt to common stock for a total of $653,057 with the offsetting increases being in accrued salaries and accounts payable.
We anticipate that we may incur operating losses during the next twelve months. The Company
s lack of operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. To address these risks, we must, among other things, increase our customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continually develop and upgrade our website, provide national and regional industry participants with an effective, efficient and accessible website on which to promote their products and services through the Internet, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Going Concern
The financial statements included in this filing have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles that contemplate the continuance of Voice Assist as a going concern. Voice Assist may not have a sufficient amount of cash required to pay all of the costs associated with operating and marketing of its services. Management intends to use revenues and security sales to mitigate the effects of cash flow deficits; however no assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if and when required, will be available. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should Voice Assist be unable to continue existence.
Significant changes in the number of employees.
On April 19, 2011, Mr. Robb Cason, Vice President of Enterprise Sales, resigned. The Company issued Mr. Cason 20,000 shares of common stock in association with his separation. These shares were valued at $1.50 per share which was the stock price at day of issuance resulting in a total value of $30,000. Mr. Andrew Fox has replaced Mr. Cason as the Vice President of Sales.
Changes in
executive compensation
.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and the first quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company entered into employment agreements with a professional executive team. Due to a loss in revenue as a result of a disruption of service by a third party provider during the previous reporting period, the executive team agreed to modification of their employment agreements to reduce cash requirements but earn stock-based compensation.
20
On May 3, 2011, the Company renegotiated the reduction of compensation for the executive team subject to being increased upon the Company achieving revenue milestones. In addition, each executive has agreed to receive his/her quarterly performance bonus in common stock calculated at the same rate as the employee incentive stock options in each calendar quarter until such time as the Company has achieved $8MM in revenue in a twelve-month period. The salary reductions are as follows:
·
Michael Metcalf
- salary reduced from $240,000 per year to $141,000 per year
·
Randy Granovetter
salary reduced from $350,000 per year to $141,000 per year
·
Michael Silva
salary reduced from $250,000 per year to $141,000 per year
·
Vic Boyd
salary reduced from $180,000 per year to $144,000 per year
·
Tracy Roberts
salary reduced from $180,000 per year to $102,000 per year
·
Andrew Fox
salary reduced from $180,000 per year to $102,000 per year
·
Lisa Porter
salary reduced from $180,000 per year to $102,000 per year
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions.
Revenue Recognition
For recognizing revenue, the Company applies the provisions of the Revenue Recognition Topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board (
FASB
) Accounting Standards Codification (
ASC
). Revenues are generated from telephony services including activation fees, hardware fees and monthly usage fees. In most cases, the services performed do not require significant production, modification or customization of the Company
s software or services; therefore, revenues for the hardware fees and monthly usage fees are recognized when evidence of a completed transaction exists, generally when services have been rendered.
21
The activation fees generated from new accounts are recorded as deferred revenue and are amortized over the estimated average customer relationship period. The net unamortized activation fees were $63,553 at the six months ended June 30, 2011. The costs associated with these activation fees are recorded as deferred costs and are similarly amortized over the estimated average customer relationship period. The net unamortized costs are $15,890 at the six months ended June 30, 2011. For both the activation fees and costs associated therewith, the estimated average customer relationship period was 24 months for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
s Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 718
Stock Compensation.
Options granted to consultants, independent representatives and other non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method as prescribed by ASC 718.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
This item in not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, it was concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective in timely alerting to material information relating to us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are not a party to any material legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The risk factors listed in our 2010 Form 10-K on pages 10 to 20, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on April 1, 2011, are hereby incorporated by reference.
Our auditor
s have substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, our auditor
s report reflects the fact that the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately the achievement of significant operating revenues.
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our auditor
s report reflects that the ability of Voice Assist to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, you will lose your investment. We will be required to seek additional capital to fund future growth and expansion. No assurance can be given that such financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on commercially favorable terms. Moreover, favorable financing may be dilutive to investors.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Stock and Warrant Issuances Pursuant to Subscription Agreements
In the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued to accredited investors, a total of 623,000 Units consisting of one (1) share of restricted common stock and one (1)Callable Warrants to purchase one (1) share of restricted common stock at $1.50 per share, callable if the market price of the Company
s Common Stock closes at $3.00 per share for ten (10) consecutive days. The Warrants are exercisable for five (5) years. The investors purchased the 623,000Units for a total purchase price of $623,000, all of which was paid in cash.
Subsequent to the second quarter end, on August 15, 2011 the Company issued to 7 accredited investors a total of two Million Units consisting of one (1) share of restricted common stock and one (1) Callable Warrants to purchase one (1) share of restricted common stock at $1.50 per share, callable if the market price of the Company
s Common Stock closes at $3.00 per share for ten (10) consecutive days. The Warrants are exercisable for five (5) years. The investors purchased the two Million Units for a total purchase price of $2,000,000 all of which was paid in cash prior to June 30, 2011. The previous shares issued in relation to this cash are rescinded as discussed below.
23
We believe that the issuance and sale of the above shares and warrants was exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2) and Regulation D Rule 506. The shares were sold directly by us and did not involve a public offering or general solicitation. The recipients of the shares and warrants were afforded an opportunity for effective access to files and records of the Company that contained the relevant information needed to make their investment decisions, including the financial statements and 34 Act reports. We reasonably believed that the recipients, immediately prior to the sale of the shares, had such knowledge and experience in our financial and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investments. The recipients had the opportunity to speak with the Company
s management on several occasions prior to their investment decision. There were no commissions paid on the issuance and sale of the shares.
Rescission Offer
An aggregate of one million shares of our common stock were issued from December 2010 to March 2011, to 7 accredited investors pursuant to subscription agreements. The company made rescission offers to the holders of these shares during June 2011 as permitted under the applicable state securities law. On June 30, 2011, each of the investments were rescinded pursuant to Rescission Agreements between us and each accredited investor. Pursuant to the Rescission Agreement, the certificates representing all one million shares of common stock were returned to us, together with all documentation to transfer legal title in the common stock back to us. Upon receipt of the certificates representing the common stock, subsequent to period ended, we directed our transfer agent to cancel the common stock and return to treasury.

In May 2011, the Company issued a total of 35,000 shares as partial payment for contractual obligations with an investor relations companies.
On June 30,2011 the Company agreed to issue a total of 250,000 restricted shares of Common Stock to Summit Capital USA, Inc. pursuant to the Consulting Agreement entered into on June 30, 2011, effective July 1 through the end of the year.
We believe that the issuance and sale of the above shares and warrants was exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2) and Regulation D Rule 506. The shares were sold directly and did not involve a public offering or general solicitation. The recipients of the shares and warrants were afforded an opportunity for effective access to files and records of the Company that contained the relevant information needed to make their investment decisions, including the financial statements and 34 Act reports. We reasonably believed that the recipients, immediately prior to the sale of the shares, had such knowledge and experience in our financial and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investments.

On April 13, 2011, pursuant to the employment agreement effective January 1, 2011, the Company granted to Michael Silva two million (2,000,000) options to buy shares of common stock at Fair Market Value under the Company

s 2010 Stock Option Plan, vesting monthly over 36 months. Subject to Board Approval, management has recommended that each executive receive monthly stock grants to compensate for contract modification and reduced salary. Such grants will be considered based upon amount of salary reduction and as salary adjusts upward based upon company revenues grants will be reduced accordingly.
On April 13, 2011, the Company granted to Scott Fox pursuant to the Independent Director Stock Option Agreement two hundred twenty five thousand (225,000) options to buy shares of common stock at Fair Market Value under the Company

We believe that the grant of the above options is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2) and Regulation D Rule 506. The recipients of the options were afforded an opportunity for effective access to files and records of the Company that contained the relevant information needed to make their investment decisions, including the financial statements and 34 Act reports. We reasonably believed that the recipients, immediately prior to the grant of the options, had such knowledge and experience in our financial and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investments. The recipients had the opportunity to speak with our management on several occasions prior to their investment decisions.
