EXPLANATORY NOTES

Amendment No. 5 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”) for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 is filed for the purpose of amending the report as “reviewed” by Robison, Hill and Company.

Amendment No. 4 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”) for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 is filed for the purpose of amending the report as “not-reviewed”. On April 7th the SEC provided a letter of comment stating that the existing Independent Certified Accountant used to review the report is not a member of the PCOAB. Subsequently the Company appointed Robison, Hill & Company as the company’s independent accountants to review the report.

Amendment No. 3 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”) for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 is filed for the purpose of amending the Section 302 Certifications, filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to the original Report. Additional the SFAS 140 discussion for the factoring agreement with Allied Capital has been included.

Amendment No. 2 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”) for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 is filed for the purpose of amending the Section 302 Certifications, filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to the original Report.

There was a mistake in the payroll accrual account that resulted in a positive $341,509 dating back to April 2009. The accrual error was caused and dated by duplicate entries to that accrual dating from and solely to April 2009 through June 30, 2009. This has reduced the net income for quarter ended 30th September 2009 from $342,500 to $106,215. This entry has been reversed for the quarter ending September 30, 2009 and re-entered in the quarter ending June 30, 2009. Both these dated statements are being amended and re-issued.

Although the PP2 Note maturity has resulted in these Notes converting to default status and therefore able to be called, the company has negotiated a stasis with over 90% of the Noteholders including all of the largest individual holdings. Although the company believes that it is unlikely that these notes will be called in the Fiscal Year 2010, the 10 Q filing for 30 September 2009 has been amended to correct this change in assumption.

The credit balances shown in Sales and Marketing and Software Development are directly a result of the below accrual adjustment to payroll expenses dating from April 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009. This adjusting entry made in the quarter ending September 30, 2009 was made in error and has been corrected to show the net effect for the correct quarter ending June 30, 2009 and is in the corrected amendments. The credit balance shown in Depreciation expense is due to an adjustment and correcting of the fixed asset depreciation schedule dating back to April 1, 2009. The aggregate impact of this adjustment is $68,425 or $34,213 per quarter and is not deemed material on a quarterly basis.

ASC FASB 250-10-50-7 Disclosure

The effect of the correction on each financial statement line item for each prior period is as follows:

·	The total current liabilities have increased from $1,915,020 to $2,891,447 and the corresponding long term liabilities have decreased from $2,195,835 to $1,219,409.

·	Sales and marketing has increased from ($2,075) to $53,723.

·	Software development has increased from ($16,843) to $106,803.

·	Engineering and Support has increased from $46,763 to $73,122.

·	General and Administrative has increased from 164,984 to 193.803.

·	Total operating expenses has increased from $148,582 to $384,867.

·	Total Income from operations has decreased from $400,088 to $163,803.

·	Net Income has been reduced from $342,500 to $106,215 and from 2c per share to 1c per share.

This has not resulted in any change in retained earnings or other appropriate components of equity including net assets.

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Cistera Networks, Inc. (“Cistera” the “Company” or “we”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with US GAAP. The results of operations for interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 (the “2009 10-K”).

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. The accounting policies most fundamental to understanding our financial statements are those relating to recognition of revenue, our use of estimates and the accounting for convertible debt and warrants. For a detailed discussion on the application of these accounting policies, see Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our 2009 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115"(“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits companies to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Unrealized gains and losses on these items will be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument (with a few exceptions), is irrevocable and is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not believe it will have a material impact.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-Controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”), which requires all entities to report non-controlling (minority interests) in subsidiaries with equity in the consolidated financial statements, but separate from the parent stockholders' equity. We do not believe it will have a material impact.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141R"), which replaces FASB Statement No. 141. SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements that will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. We do not believe it will have a material impact.

Research and development expenditures are generally expensed as incurred. SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed”, requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on the Company’s product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the Company between completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release have been insignificant. Thereafter, all software production costs shall be capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized costs are amortized based on current and future revenue for each product with an annual minimum equal to the straight-line amortization over the remaining estimated economic life of the product.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. The Company had approximately 6.6 million and 6.5 million potentially dilutive common stock equivalents (in the form of stock options and stock purchase warrants) outstanding as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These potentially dilutive common stock equivalents have been excluded from the diluted share calculations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, as they were anti-dilutive as a result of the net losses incurred for those periods. Accordingly, basic shares equal diluted shares for all periods presented.

Accounts receivable and concentration of credit risk

The Company has no significant off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

The Company is subject to credit risk from accounts receivable with its customers. The Company’s accounts receivable are due from both governmental and commercial entities. Credit is extended based on evaluation of the customers’ financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 to 60 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due.

The Company assesses potential reserves against its accounts receivable by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customers’ current ability to pay their obligations to the Company and economic and industry conditions. Based on these factors, the Company has concluded that an allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009 is not required.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company receives approximately 44% of its gross revenues from its top three re-sellers. This represents an increase in concentration of business from the 34% reported for the year ended June 30, 2009.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in the fiscal year 2009 financial statements to conform to the fiscal year 2010 presentation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP (except with regard to omission of certain disclosures within interim financial statements, as permitted by the SEC), which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if we were unable to continue as a going concern. However, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated financial statements, as of and for the year ended March 31, 2009, contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The “going concern” explanatory paragraph resulted from, among other things, the substantial losses from operations we have incurred since inception, our liquidity position and the net loss of $4.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2009, which included non-cash charges of $1.4 million related to amortization of discounts associated with our sale and issuance of Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes in the fiscal years 2007 and 2008 (the “PP2 Notes”) and negative working capital (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $2.2 million as of June 30, 2009. In addition, we had a net loss of $90,497 for the six months ended September 30, 2009. Also, as of September 30, 2009, we have negative working capital (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $2.65 million.

Accordingly, as of September 30, 2009, the recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts is dependent on our continuing operations, which in turn is dependent on our ability to maintain our current financing arrangements and our ability to become profitable in our future operations through generating higher revenues or lowering operating costs, or a combination of the two. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if we were unable to continue as a going concern.

SFAS No. 140 – Disclosure of Accounting for Factoring

The Company maintains a factoring facility with Allied Capital Partners, L.P. (“Allied”) for up to $1,500,000 of the Company’s customer accounts receivable. The facility allows for an advance rate up to 85.88% and initial factoring charges are 1.75% of the total accounts receivable balance. An additional funding agreement became effective in November of 2008 allowing for the factoring of support renewals at an advance rate of 50.88% and initial factoring charges of 1.75% of the total accounts receivable balance. Advances made by Allied are collateralized by the Company’s accounts receivable, chattel paper, general intangibles, supporting obligations, inventory and proceeds thereof. The term of the current agreement is for a period of two years with an automatic one-year renewal thereafter. Advances under the factoring facility at September 30, 2009 were $186,299 and are netted against total accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

SFAS No.140, paragraph 9 states:

The transferor has surrendered control over transferred assets if and only if all of the following conditions are met:

a) The transferred assets have been isolated from the transferor – put presumptively beyond the reach of the transferor and it creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership.

If the transaction is determined by the bankruptcy court to be a true sale, and the factor is the owner of the accounts receivable, then the accounts will not be part of the bankruptcy proceeding.

The November 2008 factoring agreement for Cistera states on page 1, item #3 –

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Acceptance of Offer - Allied may accept Seller’s offer to sell Accounts . . . by either (i) paying the Purchase Price (less the Reserve). . . (ii) by oral or written notice to Seller identifying the Accounts which appear on the Schedule that Allied is unwilling to purchase and paying the Purchase Price (less the Reserve) for the remaining accounts; and (xi) shall be evidenced by an invoice which has been issued to and received by the Account Debtor, and each such invoice shall have printed on the face thereof a statement notifying the Account Debtor that the invoice has been sold and assigned to Allied and is payable only to Allied . . .

Page 3 item #9 of Agreement, . . .Invoice (x) shall be reflected on Seller’s books and records as having been transferred, sold and conveyed to Allied if Allied purchases such Accounts.

Therefore, it is Cistera’s position that this meets the test of a sale. The receivables are isolated beyond the reach of Cistera, its creditors and any bankruptcy proceedings.

b) Each transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the assets it received, and no condition both constrains the transferee from taking advantage of its right to pledge or exchange and provides more than a trivial benefit to the transferor.

As per the agreement entered into between Cistera and Allied Capital (November 19th 2008), these invoices, also called receivables, are the property of Allied and therefore such items can be used for collateral and bank financing if Allied so chooses. The factoring agreement also states that Allied has the right to sell these items on the “open and public market”. After a review of the factoring agreement, no statements or language was found to contradict this understanding of the agreement. There are no constraints on Allied rights whether written or imputed in the November 2008 agreement. The benefit for Allied is not trivial and involves the collection of the receivable, interest income and factoring fees for each Account and invoice.

c) The transferor does not maintain effective control over the transferred asset through either (1) an agreement that both entitles and obligates the transferor to repurchase or redeem them before their maturity or (2) the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets, other than through a cleanup call.

In the said factoring agreement, the Seller has no demands for the return of the Accounts or invoices. Even at the time of termination of the agreement, the invoices are still the full property of Allied to the limit of the reserve amount remaining at such termination. What this means, is the reserve amount remaining is netted as payment against the remaining outstanding invoices and if the reserve is greater than those invoices, the monies are then wired or transferred to Cistera. If the reserve is less than the remaining outstanding invoices, Allied collects the payment on those invoices and wires the “left over” monies caused by those collections. Even after termination of the agreement, and reconciliation of the reserve against the outstanding accounts, all payments are still the property of Allied until the overage payments are transferred and wired to Cistera.

As far as obligation or entitlement to “repurchase” the Accounts or invoices, this obligation is after the “maturity” or due date of the invoices plus 90 days. At which time the invoice is “offset” against the Reserve account and no “monies” are exchanged. This Reserve account is separated on a net basis from Cistera owned receivables in section Balance Sheet Accounts” Table known as “Accounts receivable are comprised of the following:”. It is the understanding and agreement of Cistera management there is no obligation or entitlement to these Accounts after they are sold to Allied. Therefore it is Cistera’s position that the accounting practices used to maintain the records of the account receivables are correct.

As of December 30, 2008, we were in default on approximately $148,000 of principal and accrued interest on certain PP2 Notes (the “December PP2 Notes”). As of that date, we began to accrue interest on the December PP2 Notes at a default rate of 18% per annum, which is the maximum allowable rate as stipulated under the PP2 Note purchase agreement. As of April 5, 2009, we were in default on approximately $1,100,000 of principal and accrued interest on certain PP2 Notes (the “April PP2 Notes”). As of that date, we began to accrue interest on the April PP2 Notes at a default rate of 18% per annum, which is the maximum allowable rate as stipulated under the PP2 Note purchase agreement. We will need to renegotiate the payment or conversion of the principal and interest due on all of the PP2 Notes, or raise additional capital, or a combination of the two. If we need to raise additional capital it could be in the form of equity or debt, or a combination of the two. The capital markets are extremely challenging at this time and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funds and, if so, on favorable terms or that the cost savings or required new capital will be sufficient. We are also actively exploring other strategic alternatives.

NOTE 3 – DEBT

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had $976,426 of gross principal, accrued interest of $333,010 and accrued liquidated damages of $177,402 outstanding on its PP1 Notes and PP2 Notes. The PP1 Notes and the PP2 Notes were due in December 2008 and April 2009 (the “April PP2 Notes”), respectively, and are in default. The Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 18%, compounded quarterly.

PP1 Notes and Warrants

The outstanding principal and accrued interest are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of (a) $1.30 per share, or (b) a 25% discount to the average closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the five days including and immediately preceding the interest compounding date, provided that in no event shall the conversion price per share be less than $1.00 per share. The PP1 Notes may be converted, in whole or in part, at the option of the PP1 Note holder on any interest compounding date. The PP1 Notes converted in December 2005 were converted at $1.00 per share.

The PP1 Warrants have a term of five years and are exercisable at an exercise price of $1.30 per share. Subject to an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the PP1 Warrants, the Company may, upon thirty days prior written notice, redeem the PP1 Warrants for $0.10 per share, in whole or in part, if our common stock closes with a bid price of at least $3.50 for any ten (10) out of fifteen (15) consecutive trading days.

PP2 Notes and Warrants

The outstanding principal and accrued interest are convertible into shares of common stock at a fixed rate of $0.75 per share. The PP2 Notes may be converted, in whole or in part, at the option of the PP2 Note holder on any interest compounding date. The Company may prepay the PP2 Notes in whole or in part, upon thirty days prior written notice to note holders; provided that partial prepayments may be made only in increments of $10,000 and, provided further, that the PP2 Note holders may convert the amount of the proposed prepayment into shares of our common stock at any time.

The PP2 Warrants have a term of five years and are exercisable at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Subject to an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the PP2 Warrants, the Company may, upon thirty days prior written notice, redeem the PP2 Warrants for $0.10 per share, in whole or in part, if our common stock closes with a bid price of at least $3.50 for any ten (10) out of fifteen (15) consecutive trading days.

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded $1,120,997 of amortization of debt discounts associated with the PP2 Notes.

STIIP

Under the STIIP, which commenced on June 9, 2008, the Company temporarily modified the terms of its outstanding PP1 Notes, PP2 Notes, PP1 Warrants and PP2 Warrants. During the period beginning June 9, 2008 through June 24, 2008 (the “Conversion Period”), the conversion prices of the PP1 Notes and PP2 Notes, which were $1.00 and $0.75 per share, respectively, were reduced to $0.53 per share. In addition, the exercise prices for the PP1 Warrants and the PP2 Warrants, which were $1.30 and $1.00 per share, respectively, were reduced to $0.40 per share. Under the STIIP, certain PP2 Note holders converted $3,240,290, comprised of $2,470,156 in principal and $770,134 in accrued interest and liquidated damages into approximately 6.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock at the reduced conversion price.

Also under the STIIP, certain PP1 and PP2 Warrant holders exercised approximately 2.3 million PP1 and PP2 Warrants at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. All PP1 and PP2 Warrant holders who exercised their warrants also received three additional warrants (the “Bonus Warrants”) for every ten warrants exercised. The Bonus Warrants were exercisable during the Conversion Period at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, and if not exercised on or before such date, the exercise price for such Bonus Warrants was increased to $0.60 per share. A total of 507,675 Bonus Warrants were exercised at $0.30 per share. The bonus warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (“Black-Scholes model”) and a charge and a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital were recorded for the June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008 quarters in the amounts of $36,125 and $131,631, respectively. The bonus warrants expire on April 6, 2012. The total cash proceeds received from the exercises of the PP1, PP2 and Bonus Warrants was approximately $844,000.

The Company accounted for the reduction in the conversion prices of the PP2 Notes under the STIIP in accordance with FASB Statement No. 84, “Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt an amendment of APB Opinion No. 26” (“SFAS 84”). Accordingly, the Company calculated and recorded an inducement charge and a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital in the June 30, 2008 quarter in the amount of $931,893 for the fair value of common stock issued based on the reduced price in excess of the fair value of the common stock issuable pursuant to the original conversion price.

The Company accounted for the reduction in the exercise price of the PP1 and PP2 Warrants exercised under the STIIP in accordance with the guidance in SFAS 123(R), “Share-based payment” (“SFAS 123R”) and FASB Staff Position No. FSP FAS 123(R)-6, “Technical Corrections of FASB Statement No. 123(R)” for a modification due to a short-term inducement. Accordingly, the Company recorded a charge and a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital in the June 30, 2008 quarter in the amount of $202,743 for the difference between the fair value of the PP1 and PP2 Warrants immediately before and after the modification multiplied by the number of PP1 and PP2 Warrants that were exercised during the Conversion Period of the STIIP. The fair value of the PP1 and PP2 Warrants were calculated using the Black-Scholes model. The total non-cash charge recorded for the inducement on the PP2 Notes and the reduction in exercise price on the PP1 and PP2 Warrants was $1,134,216.

The Company’s total debt as of September 30, 2009, all of which is current, is as follows:


PP1 and PP2 Notes:
Principal	$	976,426
Accrued interest		333,010
Accrued estimated liquidated damages		177,402
Total	$	1,486,838

Registration Payment Arrangements

Effective April 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position No. EITF 00-19-2 “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements” (“FSP EITF 00-19-2”), which was applicable to the accounting for the liquidated damages on the PP2 Notes. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative effect of an accounting change entry (i.e., a charge to the beginning balance of the accumulated deficit) as of April 1, 2007 for the combination of: 1) the reclassification of the Warrants from derivative liabilities to equity securities (based on the criteria as outlined under EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”)), and 2) a contingent liability for probable future payment of liquidated damages (based on the Company’s best estimate as of the date of adoption, which was through March 31, 2008). The amount of the contingent liability recorded was approximately $289,000. The difference between the Warrants as measured on the date of adoption of FSP EITF 00-19 and their original recorded value was approximately $466,000, and, as stated above, was included in the charge to the beginning balance of the accumulated deficit. The total cumulative effect of this accounting change was $755,000.

On April 5, 2007, the Company closed the balance of its PP2 offering and, in accordance with FSP EITF 00-19-2, recorded a contingent liability and related charge to the consolidated Statement of Operations for estimated liquidated damages related to this funding through March 31, 2008. The amount recorded was $251,176.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company estimated and accrued $671,342 related to liquidated damages related to the PP2 Notes and concluded that this amount was the maximum pay-out required. Under the STIIP, certain PP2 Note holders, comprising approximately 70% of the original principal of PP2 Notes, converted their outstanding PP2 Notes at a reduced price of $0.53. On June 30, 2008, the Company executed an agreement with the institutional investor in the PP2 offering that had the contractual right to liquidated damages. In exchange for the waiver from the investor, the Company issued to the investor 58,777 shares of its common stock. The agreement terminated any assessment of liquidated damages beyond June 24, 2008. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded a charge and credit to additional paid-in capital for the fair value of these shares issued in the amount of $22,041.

The table below summarizes the cumulative effect entry recorded as of April 1, 2007 for the adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-2:

Accumulated deficit, April 1, 2007	$	(10,586,847	)

The parties held a mediation conference in April 2006 and have come to an understanding with respect to the principal elements of a potential settlement. The Company is currently in the process of negotiating definitive settlement agreements. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” (“SFAS 5”), we recorded a contingent liability in the amount of $650,000 as of March 31, 2008 related to the outstanding litigation. As of December 31, 2008, the Company believes that this amount represents the best estimate of a potential settlement.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On April 5, 2007, the Company issued PP2 Notes to the Company’s President, CEO and director, Derek Downs, and the Company’s Chief Technology Officer and director, Greg Royal for accrued, but unpaid base salary due to each as of this date. On June 24, 2008, both individuals converted their PP2 notes plus accrued interest as part of the STIIP. Mr. Downs and Mr. Royal converted $38,940 and $91,871, respectively into 73,471 and 173,341 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.53. After this conversion, the Company no longer had any indebtedness with either Mr. Downs or Mr. Royal.

On November 1, 2008, the Company issued to an employee 100,000 common stock purchase warrants that were immediately exercisable at $0.40 per share and have a five-year life. The Company calculated the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes model and recorded a charge in the amount $22,728 for the December 2008 quarter.

On December 4, 2008, an employee advanced the Company $25,000 for the period through December 31, 2008. In consideration for this advance, the Company issued to the employee 25,000 common stock purchase warrants that were immediately exercisable at $0.40 per share and have a five-year life. The Company calculated the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes model and recorded a charge in the amount $4,100 for the December 2008 quarter. As of June 30, 2009, the entire obligation has been repaid.

NOTE 6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Reverse/Forward Split

On the 25th June 2009, the Company filed a an Information Statement to inform the stockholders of (i) the approval on June 9, 2009 of resolutions by the Board of Directors proposing amendments to the Articles of Incorporation to effect a 3 for 1 reverse stock split of our common stock followed immediately by a 3 for 1 forward stock split of the common stock (the "Reverse/Forward Stock Split"), and (ii) receipt of written consents dated June 9, 2009, approving such amendment by stockholders holding 65.6% of the voting power of all of our stockholders entitled to vote on the matter as of June 9, 2009. As a result of the Reverse/Forward Stock Split, stockholders owning fewer than 3 shares of our common stock will be cashed out at a price of $.14 per share, and the holdings of all other stockholders will remain unchanged.

When the Reverse/Forward Stock Split becomes effective, the Company will have fewer than 300 stockholders of record, and will be eligible to cease filing periodic reports with the Commission, and the Company intends to cease public registration and terminate the listing of our Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. Once the Company ceases public registration and terminates the listing of our Common Stock, the Company will not be required to provide our Stockholders with periodic or other reports regarding the Company, although they intend to continue to provide similar information through the Pink Sheets News Service.

The Company estimates the cost of the Reverse/Forward Stock Split, to be approximately $25,800. However, if on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the Reverse/Forward Stock Split, they believe that the cash required to pay for the Reverse/Forward Stock Split exceeds the reasonable estimate of the amount of cash necessary to consummate the Reverse/Forward Split, they reserve the right not to effect the Reverse/Forward Stock Split.

The Reverse/Forward Stock Split has been submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission for proposal and comment. If the Reverse/Forward Stock Split is approved by the SEC, the transaction will become complete 20 days after the shareholders have been notified by letter. Currently, Cistera Networks, Inc. has 17,423,410 shares outstanding. If the transaction is approved and completed, 477 shares will be repurchased at $0.14 per share or $66.78, leaving 17,422,933 shares outstanding.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND RECENT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS

For the second quarter ending 30th September 2009, we saw a 41% decrease in revenues as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. We experienced a drop in revenue on a sequential quarter basis as a result of the deteriorating global economic situation. High margin recurring revenue from support and maintenance continues to become a more significant piece of our revenues as our installed base grows. Despite the economic slowdown, our pipeline of opportunities is increasing in both number of opportunities and project size.

Our business model relies upon the leverage of a network of strong reseller partners to sell our products. During the quarter, we continued to invest in building out our internal technical, sales and business development organizations to properly support our channel reseller program. This program allows us to effectively apply our resources to focus on the partners that are significant generators of revenue.

Even in a period of economic constraints, we recognize the importance of continuing and extending our R&D efforts to ensure that our products offer features and functionality specific to industry requirements and that add measurable value for our customers. Our ability to invest in R&D is limited. However we have been successful in gaining R&D investments through existing customer and federal government contracts.

We continued to make good penetration into the public sector markets where our solutions are increasingly well received as the answer to critical communication challenges. This quarter, we have extended our efforts to enter the Federal market and have invested a significant amount of time and effort in extending our relationships with the federal government.

In light of the significant downturn in the U.S. economy, we are carefully monitoring our sales pipeline and have refocused our solutions selling efforts onto our top reseller relationships. Further, beginning January 1, 2009, we instituted additional operating expense reductions, including salary reductions for the management team, employee terminations and marketing program elimination. We are seeing market segments, such as government and healthcare are more resilient to the current economic conditions, primarily due to continued demand for event alerting and notification solutions for public safety infrastructure. With the demographics of an aging population, healthcare is also an industry that is continuing to grow. Because there are fewer employees to operate facilities, the efficiencies and increased productivity our products provide can measurably enhance business operations.

On the 14th May 2009, the company announced the release of version 1.9 of the Cistera Convergence Server. Cistera ConvergenceServer Version1.9 is the result of over five years of work on enterprise application platforms for Unified Communications and is the most advanced solution set available today.

On the 10th June 2009, the company announced the the addition of the ZoneSpeak™ IP Speaker to its successful Event Alerting and Notification Solution Set.

On the 16th September 2009, the company announced the release of the latest version of its award-winning platform, the Cistera ConvergenceServer (CCS) Version 1.9 has successfully completed Interoperability Verification Testing (IVT) for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM 7.1).

On the 29th October 2009, the company announces the release of the newest configuration of its award-winning platform, the Cistera ConvergenceServer 9500 (CCS 9500) specifically tailored for large-scale applications.

We remain focused on maintaining profitability, and believe our emphasis on strong presence in key markets will lead to the continued pipeline growth, completed installations and increased average deal size that will be necessary to maintain profitability.

We believe that our products are ideally suited to Federal, State and Local Government applications and continue to make strong headway in these markets. We believe that this focus will continue the trending of our product mix toward the higher value in key markets as well as a strong emphasis on maintenance revenue will allow us to maintain strong profitability into the future. Our product is extremely well received by customers and forms a cornerstone of their communications strategy.

Revenue

Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 decreased $537,504 or approximately 41% from the comparable prior year quarterly period primarily due to the deteriorating global economic environment. Revenue from professional services increased 117% from the prior year quarter primarily due to the timing of completion of certain project service engagements and as a result of a change of certifying reseller partners to handle installations in lieu of performing them ourselves, as well as decreased sales activity. We have also refocused our efforts on high-value markets where customers are significantly less sensitive to price. This has resulted in lower revenues but more profitable contracts.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 decreased $396,373 or approximately 41% from the comparable prior year quarter primarily due to decreased revenue. Gross margin also maintained a constant level as a percentage of sales at 73%.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization decreased from $1,252,666 in the September 2008 quarter to $384,867 in the September 2009 quarter, a decrease of $867,799 or approximately 69%. This dramatic reduction was as a result of the intense restructuring effort in response to the significant drop in the United States economy in 2009. The market for unified communications suffered a serious decline in new license revenue and the company was forced to respond accordingly.

The decrease was primarily attributable to:

·	Decrease headcount in all departments;

·	Decrease in payroll taxes as a result of reduced personnel;

·	Reductions in travel, marketing and sales expenses;

·	Decrease in software licensing costs;

·	Elimination of all unnecessary professional services and fees.

Sales and Marketing costs reduced from $301,043 to $53,723 through reductions in headcount, commissions payable, travel and marketing expenses across the board.

Software development costs reduced from $226,875 to $106,803 through reductions in headcount and general expenses.

Engineering and Support costs reduced from $201,969 to $73,112 through reductions in headcount and travel related expenses. The company has dramatically increased the number of remote installations significantly reducing costs.

General and Administrative costs have been reduced from $422,105 to $193,476 through reduction in headcount and the elimination of all unnecessary professional services and fees.

The Depreciation and Amortization is a reduction from $100,674 to ($44,247) as compared to same quarter 2008 and is due to an adjustment and correcting of the fixed asset depreciation schedule dating back to April 1, 2009. The aggregate impact of this adjustment is $68,425 or $34,213 per quarter and is not deemed material on a quarterly basis.

An error in the Payroll accrual account was made which resulted in a reversal of $393,810 of duplicate expense to the payroll expense accounts. After reversal of this accrual, payroll was accrued for $52,301 reflecting the pay period September 15 – September 30, 2009. The net effect to the profits of the company were a positive $341,509. The filings for period 30 June 2009 have been amended to reflect this change as it relates to that period.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the September 2009 quarter increased $7,478 from the September 2008 quarter primarily due to the decrease in accrued interest on the PP2 Notes due to the decrease in the PP2 Notes as a result of the conversions under the STIIP in June 2008. Offsetting the overall interest expense decrease generated from the PP2 Notes was an increase in interest on our accounts receivable factoring facility as a result of higher factorings in the September 2009 quarter as compared to the September 2008 quarter.

Revenue

Revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2009 decreased $880,188 or approximately 42% from the comparable prior year six months primarily due to the deteriorating global economic environment. Revenue from professional services increased 27% from the prior year quarter primarily due to the timing of completion of certain project service engagements and as a result of a change of certifying reseller partners to handle installations in lieu of performing them ourselves, as well as decreased sales activity. We have also refocused our efforts on high-value markets where customers are significantly less sensitive to price. This has resulted in lower revenues but more profitable contracts.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit for the six months ended September 30, 2009 decreased $700,982 or approximately 45% from the comparable prior year quarter primarily due to decrease revenue. Gross margin increased in the six months ending September 2009 as compared to the September 2008 six months to 74% from 69%. This increase was primarily due to product mix on convergence solutions offset by higher margins on support and maintenance as a result of the higher installed base.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased from $2,369,652 in the September 2008 six months to $788,021 in the six-month ending September 2009, a decrease of $1,581,631 or approximately 67%. This dramatic reduction was as a result of the intense restructuring effort in response to the significant drop in the United States economy in 2009. The market for unified communications suffered a serious decline in new license revenue and the company was forced to respond accordingly.

The decrease was primarily attributable to:

·	Decrease headcount in all departments;

·	Decrease in payroll taxes as a result of reduced personnel;

·	Reductions in travel, marketing and sales expenses;

·	Decrease in software licensing costs;

·	Elimination of all unnecessary professional services and fees.

Sales and Marketing costs reduced from $580,472 to $113,220 through reductions in headcount, commissions payable, travel and marketing expenses across the board.

Software development costs reduced from $423,333 to $136,235 through reductions in headcount and general expenses.

Engineering and Support costs reduced from $406,400 to $140,905 through reductions in headcount and travel related expenses. The company has dramatically increased the number of remote installations significantly reducing costs.

General and Administrative costs have been reduced from $760, 617 to $344, 248 through reduction in headcount and the elimination of all unnecessary professional services and fees.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the six months ending September 2009 quarter decreased $23,180 from the six months ended September 2008 quarter primarily due to the decrease in accrued interest on the PP2 Notes due to the decrease in the PP2 Notes as a result of the conversions under our “Short Term Investment Incentive Plan” (the “STIIP”). Offsetting the overall interest expense decrease was an increase in the interest rate on the PP1 and PP2 Notes due to a default on the notes.

Amortization of Debt Discount

The amortization of debt discount on our PP2 Notes in the six months ending September 2009 quarter decreased $1,188,855 from the June 2008 quarter primarily as a result of the amortization of the debt discount was completed recorded at March 31, 2009. As required under GAAP, all unamortized debt discount outstanding at the date of the conversion was expensed. See further discussion of the STIIP under “Liquidity” under this Item.

Charge for Inducements Related to Stock Issued to Convertible Note Holders

As part of the STIIP, we lowered the conversion price of our PP2 Notes and the exercise price of both our PP1 and PP2 Warrants. As required under US GAAP, we recorded non-cash charges for the June 2008 quarter in the amounts of $1,192,813 related to these inducements. See further discussion of the STIIP under “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Liquidated Damages

The decrease in the charge for liquidated damages from the three months ended September 2009 was primarily the result of the settlement of future liquidated damages as of June 24, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, we recorded an adjustment to the amount of accrued liquidated damages for PP2 Note holders who did not convert their notes in the STIIP. As part of an agreement dated June 30, 2008 with the investor in the PP2 offering that had the contractual right to liquidated damages, we issued to the investor 58,777 shares of our common stock in exchange for a waiver on future liquidated damages after June 24, 2008. The agreement terminated any assessment of liquidated damages beyond June 24, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this report have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP (except with regard to omission of certain disclosures within interim financial statements, as permitted by the SEC), which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if we were unable to continue as a going concern. However, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated financial statements, as of and for the year ended March 31, 2009, contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The “going concern” explanatory paragraph resulted from, among other things, the substantial losses from operations we have incurred since inception, our liquidity position and net loss of $4.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2009, which included non-cash charges of $1.4 million related to amortization of discounts associated with our PP2 Notes and negative working capital (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $3.0 million as of March 31, 2009. In addition, we had a net loss of $90,497 for the six months ended September 30, 2009. Also, as of September 30, 2009, we have negative working capital (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $1.7 million.

Our primary source of working capital liquidity is a factoring facility we have with Allied Capital Partners, L.P. (“Allied”), which allows for cash advances of up to $1,500,000 on our customer accounts receivable, subject to the approval of Allied of the customer and the type of product or service that is invoiced. The facility allows for an advance rate up to 85.88% and initial factoring charges are 1.75% of the total accounts receivable balance. An additional funding agreement became effective in November of 2008 allowing for the factoring of support renewals at an advance rate of 50.88% and initial factoring charges of 1.75% of the total accounts receivable balance. Advances made by Allied are collateralized by our accounts receivable, chattel paper, general intangibles, supporting obligations, inventory and proceeds thereof. The term of the current agreement is for a period of two years with an automatic one-year renewal thereafter. Advances under the factoring facility at September, 2009 were $186,299 and are netted against total accounts receivable on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

As of December 30, 2008, we were in default on approximately $148,000 of principal and accrued interest on certain PP2 Notes (the “December PP2 Notes”). As of that date, we began to accrue interest on the December PP2 Notes at a default rate of 18% per annum, which is the maximum allowable rate as stipulated under the PP2 Note purchase agreement. We will need to renegotiate the payment or conversion of the principal and interest due on all of the PP2 Notes, of which approximately $1.1 million is due in April 2009, or raise additional capital, or a combination of the two. If we need to raise additional capital it could be in the form of equity or debt, or a combination of the two. The capital markets are extremely challenging at this time and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funds and, if so, on favorable terms or that the cost savings or required new capital will be sufficient. We are also actively exploring other strategic alternatives.

As of April 5, 2009, we were in default on approximately $1,100,000 of principal and accrued interest on certain PP2 Notes (the “April PP2 Notes”). As of that date, we began to accrue interest on the April PP2 Notes at a default rate of 18% per annum, which is the maximum allowable rate as stipulated under the PP2 Note purchase agreement. We will need to renegotiate the payment or conversion of the principal and interest due on all of the PP2 Notes or raise additional capital, or a combination of the two. If we need to raise additional capital it could be in the form of equity or debt, or a combination of the two. The capital markets are extremely challenging at this time and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funds and, if so, on favorable terms or that the cost savings or required new capital will be sufficient. We are also actively exploring other strategic alternatives.

Cash and Cash Flows

Our cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2009 were $35,377. For the six months ended September 30, 2009, net cash provided by operations was $42,270. The primary use of cash was the loss from operations incurred for the period of $90,427 adjusted for non-cash charges of $72,378 for depreciation and amortization, abandonment loss and gain from disposition of assets.

Contractual Obligations

Our current material contractual obligations are our current and former corporate office leases and the principal, accrued interest and accrued liquidated damages under our PP1 and PP2 Notes. In December 2008, we executed a sublease for our former corporate office facility at approximately $4,100 per month for the remaining lease term, which is through November 2009. On May 29, 2009 the property manager informed us that our sub-lessee had vacated the premises. We are actively seeking a new sublease for this space but given the short timeframe to lease termination it is unlikely that we will find a subtenant for this space.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. The accounting policies most fundamental to understanding our financial statements are those relating to recognition of revenue, our use of estimates and the accounting for convertible debt and warrants. For a detailed discussion on the application of these accounting policies, see Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our 2009 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide this information.

Item 4(T). Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who is also currently our interim Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officer”), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As of September 30, 2009, we carried out an analysis, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Certifying Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. As a result of this analysis, our Certifying Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting continued to be not effective and identified remediation measures to be implemented.

We estimate that the Certifying Officer, along with the Company’s other management personnel, will need to complete remediation measures that may include engaging an independent consulting firm to further evaluate, remediate, implement, document and test the internal controls in these key areas:

1.	Financial Reporting, including technical accounting surrounding complex accounting transactions

2.	Order Entry Accounting & Reporting

3.	Debt/Equity Accounting & Compliance

4.	Cash & Other Working Capital Management

5.	Compensation Accounting & Administration

6.	Other Assets & Liability Account Management

We will also monitor our disclosure controls and procedures on a continuing basis to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In the future as such controls change in relation to developments in the our business and financial reporting requirements, our evaluation and monitoring measures will also address any additional corrective actions that may be required.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure control procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We may need to raise additional capital to fund our operations.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is in doubt and we may not be successful in generating revenue and gross profit at levels sufficient to cover our operating costs and cash investment requirements. Our current and primary source of cash availability is a $1.5 million credit facility with an accounts receivable “factoring” institution, Allied Capital. Funds available to us under the credit line with Allied Capital are limited by the amount of eligible accounts receivable we hold at any given time. Additionally, fluctuations in the timing of customer orders adversely affect our ability to draw on the line when required. Allied Capital may declare the loan in default if we do not meet certain financial covenants, and the inability to continue factoring accounts receivable would result in a significant loss of working capital liquidity.

Additionally, we purchase over half of our products from one supplier—Equus Computer Systems. (“Equus”). Equus provides us with open trade credit on 30 day terms based on a pre-established credit limit and, historically, has provided additional credit to support larger purchase order demands on a “one-off basis.” We purchase most of our other products from our other suppliers on open trade credit terms with set dollar limits. If Equus or our other significant suppliers were to cease to sell to us on trade credit terms, or were to substantially lower the credit limits they have set, we would need to accelerate our payments to those vendors, creating additional demands on our cash resources, or we would need to find other sources for those goods.

We will need to renegotiate or extend the currently outstanding PP2 Notes and related interest.

As of December 30, 2008, we were in default on approximately $148,000 of principal and accrued interest on certain PP2 Notes. In addition, as of April 5, 2009, we were in default of approximately $1,100,000 of principal and accrued interest on certain PP2 Notes. Currently, we are accruing interest on these PP2 Notes at a default rate of 18% per annum, which is the maximum allowable rate as stipulated under the PP2 Note purchase agreement. If we need to raise additional capital it could be in the form of equity or debt, or a combination of the two. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funds and, if so, on favorable terms or that the cost savings or required new capital will be sufficient.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

As of December 30, 2008, we were in default on approximately $148,000 of principal and accrued interest on certain PP2 Notes (the “December PP2 Notes”). As of this date, we began to accrue interest on the December PP2 Notes at a default rate of 18% per annum, which is the maximum allowable rate as stipulated under the PP2 Note purchase agreement. In addition, as of April 5, 2009, we were in default on approximately $1,100,000 of principal and accrued interest on certain PP2 Notes. As of this date, we began to accrue interest on the April PP2 Notes at a default rate of 18% per annum. We will likely need to renegotiate the payment or conversion of the principal and interest due on all of the PP2 Notes, or raise additional capital, or a combination of the two. If we need to raise additional capital it could be in the form of equity or debt, or a combination of the two. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funds and, if so, on favorable terms or that the cost savings or required new capital will be sufficient.
