NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009
(unaudited)
 
NOTE 1 – Basis of Presentation (Reverse Merger and Corporate Structure)

Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc. (“NETW”) was organized as a Texas corporation on March 15, 1983 and is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the State of Texas and various other states. NETW is an introducing broker-dealer that clears all transactions with and for customers on a fully disclosed basis with a clearing broker. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the  six months ended December, 31 2008 consolidate the following variable interest entities (“VIEs”): Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc, Network 1 Financial Assurance, Inc., National Financial Services Group, Inc. and Shark Rivers Investors, LLC through the companies merger date of June 9, 2009.  As of December 31, 2009, none of the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the VIEs are included as part of the consolidation.

On June 9, 2009, NETW completed a merger transaction (the “Reverse Merger”) with International Smart Sourcing, Inc. (“ISSI”), an inactive publicly registered shell corporation with no significant assets or operations. ISSI was incorporated in February 1998 in Delaware.  As a result of the Reverse Merger, NETW became a wholly owned subsidiary of ISSI and the current assets of NETW were merged with ISSI, with the exception of the following consolidated entities which have been deemed to be VIEs by NETW: Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc., Network 1 Financial Assurance, Inc, National Financial Services Group, Inc. and Shark Rivers Investors, LLC.  NETW’s shareholders acquired control of ISSI. 

Upon completion of the Reverse Merger transaction, ISSI changed its name to Network 1 Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”).

All references to Common Stock, share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio of 17.16 shares of ISSI’s Common Stock for 1 share of the acquirer's Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Merger as if the exchange had taken place as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements present on a consolidated basis the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures provided are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and explanatory notes for the year ended June 30, 2009 as disclosed in the Company's 10-K for that year as filed with the SEC, as it may be amended.

The results of the six months ended December 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the pending full year ending June 30, 2010.

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the condensed consolidated 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 and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Customer security transactions and the related commission income and expense are recorded as of the trade date.  Investment banking revenues include gains, losses, and fees, net of syndicate expenses, arising from securities offerings in which the Company acts as an underwriter or agent. Investment banking revenues also include fees earned from providing financial advisory services.  Investment banking management fees are recorded on the offering date, sales concessions on the settlement date, and underwriting fees at the time the underwriting is completed and the income is reasonably determinable. Customers who are financing their transaction on margin are charged interest. The Company’s margin requirements are in accordance with the terms and conditions mandated by its clearing firm. The interest is billed on the average daily balance of the margin account.
 
Net dealer inventory gains result from securities transactions entered into for the account and risk of the Company. Net dealer inventory gains are recorded on a trade date basis. Investment advisory fees are account management fees for high net worth clients based on the amount of the assets under management. These fees are billed quarterly and recognized at such time that the service is performed and collection is probable.
 
The Company generally acts as an agent in executing customer orders to buy or sell listed and over-the-counter securities in which it does not make a market, and charges commissions based on the services the Company provides to its customers. In executing customer orders to buy or sell a security in which the Company makes a market, the Company may sell to, or purchase from, customers at a price that is substantially equal to the current inter-dealer market price plus or minus a mark-up or mark-down. The Company may also act as agent and execute a customer's purchase or sale order with another broker-dealer market-maker at the best inter-dealer market price available and charge a commission. Mark-ups, mark-downs and commissions are generally priced competitively based on the services it provides to its customers. In each instance the commission charges, mark-ups or mark-downs, are in compliance with guidelines established by the FINRA.
 
Marketable securities are carried at fair value, with changes in value included in the statement of income in the period of change. Fair value is generally determined by quoted market prices. Non-marketable securities are valued at fair value as determined by management.
 
Non-controlling Interest

As a result of adopting FASB ASC 810-10 Consolidations – Variable Interest Entities, on July 1, 2009, we present non-controlling interests (previously shown as minority interest) as a component of equity on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Equity.  The adoption of this guidance did not have any other material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
FASB requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statement of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short maturities.

In April 2009, the FASB issued provisions that require that companies also disclose the fair value of financial instruments during interim reporting periods similar to those that are currently provided annually. These pronouncements are effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.
 
On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, which defines fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements.  The Company’s adoption of ASC 820 did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.  Fair value is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability.  Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value.  Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at fair value using valuation methods that require more judgment.  These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability.  The Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three level hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

ASC 810 “Consolidation” requires a variable interest entity, as defined, to be consolidated by a company, if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities, entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns, the purpose of the entity is for the benefit of the reporting entity, or if the entity is substantially financed by the reporting entity. For these purposes, variable interests held by related parties should be consolidated with the reporting entity.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2008 include the following variable interest entities in accordance with the provisions of ASC 810: Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc., Network 1 Financial Assurance, Inc., National Financial Services Group, Inc. and Shark Rivers Investors, LLC.

Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc. provides advisory services and the in-house management of client accounts.  Network 1 Financial Assurance, Inc. acts as an agent providing life and health insurance products for certain clients on behalf of the Company.

National Financial Services Group, Inc. enters into leases and functions as the guarantor for any leases or investments on behalf of the Company.

Shark Rivers Investors, LLC is a real estate investment company that owns and operates two building facilities in New Jersey.

NOTE 3 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Codification and GAAP Hierarchy — Effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, the Accounting Standards Codification and related disclosure requirements issued by the FASB became the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP. The ASC simplifies GAAP, without change, by consolidating the numerous, predecessor accounting standards and requirements into logically organized topics. All other literature not included in the ASC is non-authoritative. We adopted the ASC as of September 30, 2009, which did not have any impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows as it does not represent new accounting literature or requirements.   All references to pre-codified U.S. GAAP have been removed from this Form 10-Q.

Consolidation — Effective for interim and annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009, with earlier application prohibited, GAAP amends the current accounting standards for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a VIE and amends guidance for determining whether an entity is a VIE. The new standards will also add reconsideration events for determining whether an entity is a VIE and will require ongoing reassessment of which entity is determined to be the VIE’s primary beneficiary as well as enhanced disclosures about the enterprise’s involvement with a VIE. We are currently assessing the future impact these new standards will have on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Transfers and Servicing – Effective for interim and annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009, GAAP eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires additional disclosures. We are currently assessing the future impact these new standards will have on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The marketable securities are primarily comprised of corporate stocks. Marketable securities on deposit with Southwest Securities are reflected at fair value.  The Company is required to maintain a balance of $750,000 with the clearing organization of cash and securities.
 
For the six months ending December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company used the services of Southwest to clear its brokerage business. The Company incurred charges of approximately $113,996 and $105,126 under this arrangement for the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
On December 4, 2009, Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc. (“NETW”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company received a letter via regular mail dated November 25, 2009 (the “Termination Letter”) from NETW’s clearing firm, Southwest Securities, Inc. (“Southwest”), stating that the Fully Disclosed Correspondent Agreement, dated as of September 27, 1990, as amended, between NETW and Southwest (the “Clearing Agreement”) was being terminated pursuant to Paragraph 12 of the Clearing Agreement.  Such termination is effective 90 days from the date of the Termination Letter (the “Termination Date”).  To date, NETW has been approved by two (2) clearing brokers and NETW believes it will enter into a new clearing agreement in the next month.  NETW has requested an extension of the Termination Date from Southwest in order to complete the due diligence necessary to enter into a new clearing agreement. NETW’s management believes that it will receive such extension.  However, in the event that NETW is unable to enter into a clearing agreement with a new clearing firm prior to the current Termination Date, or, in the event the Termination Date is extended, prior to the extended Termination Date, it could have a material adverse effect on NETW’s business and operations.

In addition, in the event that NETW is able to enter into an agreement with a new clearing firm, NETW likely will be required to put down a deposit prior to signing such new agreement.  If Southwest has not returned NETW’s deposit under the Clearing Agreement prior to the time that NETW is required to put down a deposit with its new clearing firm, NETW will be required to draw on funds from NETW’s capital, which may have an impact on NETW’s liquidity.

NOTE 7 - Line of Credit – Bank

The Company’s bank line of credit is payable on demand. The maximum amount the Company could borrow is $100,000.  Indebtedness under the line of credit provides for interest at the bank’s prime rate, plus 1.0% (approximately 5% at December 31, 2009). As of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, the amount outstanding under this credit facility was $55,000 and $93,000 respectively.   As of the year ending June 30, 2009, the Company was in default of the terms of the terms of the line of credit.  Subsequent to the year end, the Company negotiated a payment plan to pay down the balance to correct the default.  As of December 31, 2009, the balance due was $55,000.

Indebtedness under the credit agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company and an officers’ personal guarantee.
 
NOTE 8 - Net Capital Requirements

NETW is a registered broker-dealer and is subject to the SEC’s Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1. This requires that NETW maintain minimum net capital of $100,000 and also requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness, as defined, to net capital, shall not exceed 15 to 1.

As of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, NETW’s net capital exceeded the requirement by approximately $168,302and $111,834, respectively.

Advances, dividend payments and other equity withdrawals are restricted by the regulations of the SEC, and other regulatory agencies are subject to certain notification and other provisions of the net capital rules of the SEC. NETW qualifies under the exemptive provisions of Rule 15c3-3 as NETW does not carry security accounts for customers or perform custodial functions related to customer securities.

Note: The warrants’ expiration date is April 23, 2010.

In June 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which requires entities to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock by assessing the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and settlement provisions. Instruments not indexed to their own stock fail to meet the scope exception of ASC 815 “Derivative and Hedging” and should be classified as a liability and marked-to-market. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is to be applied to outstanding instruments upon adoption with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company’s warrants issued in connection with the IPO do not have fixed settlement provisions because their exercise prices, may be lowered if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future.  The Company was required to include the reset provisions in order to protect warrant holders from potential dilution associated with future financings.  In accordance with the guidance, the warrants have been recharacterized as a derivative liability.

The derivative liability was valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the following assumptions:

NOTE 10- Fair Value Measurements

The financial assets of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis are cash, due from clearing organization, marketable securities, derivatives and debt.  The Company’s cash equivalents, due from clearing organization and marketable securities are generally classified within Level 1 of the fair  value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency.  The Company’s long-term investments, derivative liabilities and debt are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using unobservable inputs, due to the fact that observable inputs are not available, or situations which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

·     
Level 1:  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities;

·     
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly , for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or

·     
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and are unobservable.

The following table sets forth the Company’s short and long term investments as of December 31, 2009, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy.  As required, by ASC 820 (formerly SFAS No. 157), these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement (in thousands):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Some of the statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are not purely historical, are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s objectives, expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our actual results could differ materially from those disclosed in these statements due to various risk factors and uncertainties affecting our business. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We do not assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements and we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform them to actual results. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. For a more complete understanding of our industry, the drivers of our business and our current period results, you should read the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009 and our other filings with the SEC.

OVERVIEW

On June 9, 2009, the Company (then known as “International Smart Sourcing, Inc.” or “ISSI”) closed certain transactions contemplated in a certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of March 26, 2009 (the “Agreement”) which we entered into with Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc., a privately held Texas corporation (“NETW”), and certain former shareholders of NETW. At the closing, we acquired 1,250,528 shares, or approximately 97.55%, of common stock of NETW outstanding on such date (the “Reverse Merger”). In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, we issued 21,460,622 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of NETW, in exchange for the acquisition, by the Company, of approximately 97.55% of the outstanding common shares of NETW.
 
As of the closing date, the former shareholders of NETW held approximately 66% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. The issuance of the 21,460,622 common shares to the former shareholders of NETW was deemed to be a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes, by ISSI of NETW, as NETW will control the post-merged company. Accordingly, NETW, the accounting acquirer entity, is regarded as the predecessor entity as of June 9, 2009.
 
Upon the completion of the Reverse Merger, we became the ultimate parent company of NETW and we changed our name from “International Smart Sourcing, Inc.” to “Network 1 Financial Group, Inc.” (“NETW Group,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, we had a decrease in our investment banking fees, however we experienced an increase in investment advisory consulting fees.  In the same period, we had a decrease in commission income and trading profits. The decrease in investment banking fees was attributable to the completion of an institutional financing in 2008 but no institutional financing in 2009. Our private placement investment banking showed an increase partially offsetting the reduced fees received because of no institutional financing this quarter. The increase in advisory consulting fees was due to a greater number of companies seeking our services. The decrease in commissions earned in NETW’s daily transaction business was due primarily to a reduction in activity from NETW’s retail clients. The decrease in trading profits was due to increased market volatility. Overall, we experienced an increase in losses in the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year.

We had a loss from operations of approximately $212,152 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 excluding the gain on change in derivative liability of $210,041, which represents a decrease of $6,098 over our net loss of $218,250 in the same period in the prior year.  This increase was primarily due to increased operating expenses, which consisted of higher investment banking commissions, cost associated with being a public company, and an increase in professional fees. Management continues to seek income stabilization from consulting and investment banking fees as well as by reducing its exposure to market positions. Management believes that in order to expand its marketing and recruitment of experienced registered representatives it will need to seek additional sources of funding.

NETW had determined that the following entities were variable interest entities (“VIEs”): Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc., Network 1 Financial Assurance, Inc., National Financial Services Group, Inc., and Shark Rivers Investors, LLC. Post-Reverse Merger, as a result of agreements executed with the VIE’s, NETW determined that it was no longer the sole source of financial support and the primary beneficiary for the VIEs. Accordingly, we deconsolidated the VIEs, effective June 9, 2009, from our financial positions and results of operations. No gain or loss was recorded upon deconsolidation as the estimated fair values of the VIEs’ net assets equaled their carrying values.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as recognized in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  For a complete description of accounting policies, see Note 2 to our financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009.  There were no significant changes in critical accounting estimates.

Results of Operations

For the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2008

Revenues.  Our consolidated income results for the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2008, which includes the VIEs showed a decrease in revenue of $501,066 or 29%. Total revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was $1,236,456 versus $1,737,522 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, which includes the VIEs.

Excluding the VIEs, which were eliminated after the Reverse Merger, we experienced a decrease in revenue of $360,145, or 23% for the six month period ended December 31, 2009, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2008. Total revenue, excluding the VIEs, for the six month period ended December 31, 2009 was $1,236,456 versus $1,596,601 for the six months ended December 31, 2008.

The decrease in revenue for the six month period ended December 31, 2009 was due primarily to a decrease in commissions received from retail customer transactions of $118,917 or 28% and a reduction of $413,914 or 47 %, in the fees earned in investment banking activities. The decrease in investment banking fees earned was attributed to fees earned from our closing of a large institutional financing in the six months ended in December 31, 2008, and we earned no institutional financing fees for the period ended December 31, 2009. We experienced an increase in revenues of $151,899 or 113%, from our investment advisory business compared to our revenues in the corresponding period ended December 31, 2008. Excluding the VIEs, the increase was $160,553, or 128% for investment advisory fees compared to our investment advisory fees in the six months ended December 31, 2008. The increase was attributed to more companies seeking our services.

Operating Expenses. Our consolidated operating expenses for the six month period ended December 31, 2009 were $1,749,292, or 141%, of revenue versus $2,003,023, or 115%, of revenue. This represents a decrease of $253,731 or 13 %, over the corresponding period ended December 31, 2008, which includes the VIEs. The decrease was due to a reduction of commissions expense of $328,777; a reduction of compensation and related expenses of $7,448; a reduction of communication and data processing of $7,786; and a reduction of occupancy and related expense of $40,297. These decreases were offset by an increase of $152,457 in fees paid to professionals and an increase of $21,895 for office expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the corresponding period in December 31, 2008 including the VIEs.

Excluding the VIEs which were eliminated after the Reverse Merger, our expenses were $1,749,572 for the six month period ended December 31, 2009 versus $1,833,820 for the six month period ended December 31, 2008, which represents  a decrease of $84,248 or 5 %. The decrease was due to a reduction in commissions expense of $328,777; and a reduction of occupancy and related expense of $17,895.  Excluding the VIEs, such expenses were offset by an increase of $152,367 for fees paid to professionals and an increase of $37,037 for office expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the six month period ended December 31, 2008.The increase in professional fees for the six months ended December 31, 2009 is due to the hiring of consultants for assistance in regulatory compliance and additional legal counsel.   The increase in office expenses is due to filing fees, insurance premiums for being a public company, printing and equipment repair and travel expenses.

The decrease in commissions expense is due to fewer retail customer transactions and the fact that we received commissions for the closing of an institutional financing in the six months ended December 31, 2008 but we did not close any institutional financings in the six months ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in occupancy expenses is attributed to our renegotiated lease and the exclusion of lease payments to a VIE.

Profit and Loss.  Our consolidated loss was $512,836, before adjustment for the loss of $9,213 from the change in derivative liability for the six month period ended December 31, 2009 compared to a loss of $265,501 for the corresponding period in 2008. This represents an increase in loss of $247,335 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, including the VIEs.

Excluding the VIEs which were eliminated after the Reverse Merger, our loss was $512,836 before adjustment of a loss of $9,213 from the change in derivative liability, for the six month period ended December 31, 2009 versus a loss of $237,219 for the same period in 2008, representing and increase of $275,617. The losses incurred were attributed to increased office expenses, increased professional fees paid, and legal and accounting fees incurred.

For the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2008

Revenues.  Total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was $787,568 versus $1,254,831 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 which includes the VIEs.  Including the VIEs, we experienced a decrease in revenue of $467,263 or 36 %, for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.

Excluding the VIEs, which were eliminated after the Reverse Merger, we experienced a decrease in revenue of $423,964 or 35% in the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. Total revenue, excluding the VIEs, was $787,568 for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 compared to $1,211,532 for the same period in 2008.

The decrease in revenue for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 was due primarily to a decrease in commissions received from retail customer transactions of $31,886 or 13% and a reduction of $535,399 or 61%, in fees earned from investment banking compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in investment banking fees earned was attributed to the closing of a large institutional financing in the three month period ended in December 31, 2008 and no similar large fee closing for the same period in 2009. We experienced an increase of $143,255 or 192% in our investment advisory business, during the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 including the VIEs.  Excluding the VIEs, we experienced an increase of $151,909 or 230% in our investment advisory fees for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The increase was attributed to more companies seeking our services.

Operating Expenses.  Our consolidated operating expenses for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 were $999,720 or 125% of revenue compared to $1,473,081, or 117% of revenue, for the same period in 2008, representing a decrease of $473,361, or 32%, which includes the VIEs. The decrease was due to a reduction of commissions expense of $458,444; a reduction of compensation and related expenses of $14,009; and a reduction of occupancy and related expense of $53,270. Such decrease expenses were offset by an increase of $73,298 in fees paid to professionals and an increase of $12,003 for communications and data processing for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, including the VIEs.

Excluding the VIEs which were eliminated after the Reverse Merger, our expenses were $999,720 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, versus $1,375,629 for the same period in 2008, which represents a decrease of $375,909, or 27%. The decrease was due to a reduction in commissions expense  of $458,444 and a reduction in occupancy and related expense of $35,986. Such decreased expenses were offset by an increase in fees paid to professionals of $72,298 an increase in compensation and related expenses of $23,258; and an increase in office expenses of $13,093 for the three months ending December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, excluding the VIEs.

The increase in professional fees for the three months ended December 31, 2009 is due to the hiring of consultants for assistance in regulatory compliance and additional legal counsel.  The increase in expenses for office expenses is due to filing fees, insurance premiums for being a public company, printing and equipment repair and travel expenses.

The decreases in commissions expense is due to fewer retail customer transactions and the fact that we received commissions for the closing of an institutional financing in the three months ended December 31, 2008 but we did not close any institutional financings in the three months ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in occupancy expenses is attributed to our renegotiated lease and the exclusion of lease payments to a VIE.

Profit and Loss

Our consolidated loss was $212,152 before adjustment for the gain of $210,041 from the change in derivative liability, for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to a loss of $218,250 for the same period in 2008.  This represents a decreased loss of $ 6,098 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008, including the VIEs.

Excluding the VIEs, which were eliminated after the Reverse Merger, our loss was $212,152 before adjustment for the gain of $210,041 from the change in derivative liability, for the three month period ended December 31, 2009, compared to a loss of $164,097 for the same period in 2008. This represents an increased loss of $36,690.  The losses incurred were attributed to an increase in office expenses, and increase in professional fees paid, and an increase in legal and accounting fees incurred.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 Our primary source of liquidity is cash generated from operations and from short-term financing arrangements. We had $56,487 in cash as of December 31, 2009.

We generated a deficit in cash flow from operations of $534,532 for the six months ended December 31, 2009.  Cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2009 were $499,284, comprised primarily of cash proceeds from the liquidation of certificates of deposits and money market funds.
 
On December 4, 2009, Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc. (“NETW”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company received a letter via regular mail dated November 25, 2009 (the “Termination Letter”) from NETW’s clearing firm, Southwest Securities, Inc. (“Southwest”), stating that the Fully Disclosed Correspondent Agreement, dated as of September 27, 1990, as amended, between NETW and Southwest (the “Clearing Agreement”) was being terminated pursuant to Paragraph 12 of the Clearing Agreement.  Such termination is effective 90 days from the date of the Termination Letter (the “Termination Date”).  To date, NETW has been approved by two (2) clearing brokers and NETW believes it will enter into a new clearing agreement in the next month.  NETW has requested an extension of the Termination Date from Southwest in order to complete the due diligence necessary to enter into a new clearing agreement. NETW’s management believes that it will receive such extension.  However, in the event that NETW is unable to enter into a clearing agreement with a new clearing firm prior to the current Termination Date, or, in the event the Termination Date is extended, prior to the extended Termination Date, it could have a material adverse effect on NETW’s business and operations.
 
In addition, in the event that NETW is able to enter into an agreement with a new clearing firm, NETW likely will be required to put down a deposit prior to signing such new agreement.  If Southwest has not returned NETW’s deposit under the Clearing Agreement prior to the time that NETW is required to put down a deposit with its new clearing firm, NETW will be required to draw on funds from NETW’s capital, which may have an impact on NETW’s liquidity.
 
We believe that we will have available resources to meet our liquidity requirements, including debt service, for the next quarter. If our cash flow from operations is insufficient to fund our debt service and other obligations, we may be required to increase our borrowings, reduce or delay capital expenditures, and seek additional capital or refinance our indebtedness.  There can be no assurance, however, that we will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels or that we will be able to maintain our ability to borrow under revolving credit facilities.
 
In the upcoming year, we plan to finance operations with working capital and external financing. We believe that we will need additional funds in the near term to finance operations and meet revenue, profitability, growth, diversification and other strategic goals for the foreseeable future. We expect to be able to procure financing upon reasonable terms in order to finance operations. However, if we are unable to do so, or if we do not meet anticipated future revenue goals, management is committed to taking actions necessary to ensure the conservation of adequate cash to continue to finance its operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we are required to disclose pursuant to these regulations.  In the ordinary course of business, we enter into operating lease commitments, purchase commitments and other contractual obligations.  These transactions are recognized in our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
 
Inflation

We believe that inflation has not had a material effect on our operations to date.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)   Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2009 due to the identification of a material weakness. A material weakness is a control deficiency or combination of control deficiencies such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 
5


To address the material weakness described below, we performed additional analysis and performed other procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, fairly present, in all material aspects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with GAAP.

The weakness, identified by management, related to the lack of necessary accounting resources to ensure consistently complete and accurate reporting of financial reporting. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.

We believe that for the reasons described above, after we hire additional qualified in-house personnel, we will be able to improve our disclosure controls and procedures, remedy the material weaknesses identified above and provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded from loss or unauthorized use, that transactions are recorded in accordance with GAAP under management’s directions, and that financial records are reliable to prepare financial statements. However, because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be or have been detected.

(b)   Changes in internal control over financial reporting
 
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in the Company’s second fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On December 4, 2009, Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc. (“NETW”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company received a letter via regular mail dated November 25, 2009 (the “Termination Letter”) from NETW’s clearing firm, Southwest Securities, Inc. (“Southwest”), stating that the Fully Disclosed Correspondent Agreement, dated as of September 27, 1990, as amended, between NETW and Southwest (the “Clearing Agreement”) was being terminated pursuant to Paragraph 12 of the Clearing Agreement.  Such termination is effective 90 days from the date of the Termination Letter (the “Termination Date”).  To date, NETW has been approved by two (2) clearing brokers and NETW believes it will enter into a new clearing agreement in the next month.  NETW has requested an extension of the Termination Date from Southwest in order to complete the due diligence necessary to enter into a new clearing agreement. NETW’s management believes that it will receive such extension.  However, in the event that NETW is unable to enter into a clearing agreement with a new clearing firm prior to the current Termination Date, or, in the event the Termination Date is extended, prior to the extended Termination Date, it could have a material adverse effect on NETW’s business and operations.
 
In addition, in the event that NETW is able to enter into an agreement with a new clearing firm, NETW likely will be required to put down a deposit prior to signing such new agreement.  If Southwest has not returned NETW’s deposit under the Clearing Agreement prior to the time that NETW is required to put down a deposit with its new clearing firm, NETW will be required to draw on funds from NETW’s capital, which may have an impact on NETW’s liquidity.
