EXPLANATION OF OUR RESTATEMENT
 
Game Trading Technologies, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “us,” “we,” or the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (the “First Amendment”) to its Quarterly Report for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 27, 2010 (the “Original Report”) in response to certain issues set forth in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011 (the “Form 8-K”)..     As previously reported in the Form 8-K, we announced that the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2010, the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 required restatement in order to correct errors related to the following:
 
·  
Total stock-based compensation expense in connection with options granted to employees recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 incorrectly calculated an accelerated stock option vesting for certain employees which consequently impacted amortization of the Stock Compensation (Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation") over the remaining vesting period.  Furthermore, the Company reevaluated the historical volatility methodology utilized in the calculation of the employee stock-based compensation and non-employee stock-based compensation to estimate an expected volatility of similar public companies.
 
·  
The Company determined it had certain product financing arrangement with a related party, DK Trading Partners, LLC ("DK Trading") under ASC 470-40 Product Financing Arrangements had not been properly recorded and disclosed. DK Trading was required to procure, purchase and sell up to $3,000,000 of pre-owned video games and the arrangement required the Company to provide a minimum consideration to the related party of $600,000 from the period of August 13, 2010 through September 15, 2010.  Furthermore, the Company failed to include the $600,000 consideration in the Cost of Sales in the Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. Lastly, the Company inaccurately accrued only $300,000 of the $600,000 consideration on the Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2010. The previous filed 10Q omitted the disclosures relating to the transaction and the corresponding balance due of $3.6 million to DK Trading at September 30, 2010 was reclassified from Accounts Payable to Product Financing -Related Party on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
 
·  
The Company determined  a customer order of approximately $1.1 million recognized as revenue in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 Statement of Operations was incorrectly recorded due to the failure to meet the revenue recognition criteria in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 605-10 attributable to timing occurrence of the delivery cut off. The Company determined the customer's F.O.B. destination order shipped in September 2010 was subsequently received by the customer in October 2010.  The Company will decrease revenue  in the amount of approximately $1.1 million and decrease cost of sales in the amount of approximately $623,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. A corresponding decrease in accounts receivable of $1.1 million and increase in inventory of approximately $623,000 have been adjusted accordingly. The transaction will be included in the fourth quarter and full year end results of 2010.
 
·  
The Company determined it had not properly calculated the costs of sales utilizing the average costs method for three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Subsequently, the Statement of operations have been adjusted to reflect an appropriate allocation and the corresponding inventory adjustment has been recorded increasing the cost of sales and decreasing inventory in the amount of approximately $472,000  for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and increasing the cost of sales and decreasing inventory in the amount of approximately $565,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010  .
 
This First Amendment reflects the restatement of our previously issued consolidated financial statements contained in the Original Report for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.  These adjustments are fully discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this First Amendment.  
 
This First Amendment speaks only of the original filing date of the Original Report and, except for those Items disclosed in this Explanatory Note, is unchanged from the Original Report. This First Amendment reflects material subsequent events which occurred after the filing of the Original Report. You should read this First Amendment together with our other reports that update and supersede the information contained in this First Amendment .

Game Trading Technologies, Inc. is a leading provider of comprehensive trading solutions and services for video game retailers, publishers, rental companies, and consumers. Through our trading platform, we provide our customers with extensive services including valuation, procurement, refurbishment, and merchandising of pre-owned video games. Additionally, through our trading platform, we process and market video game consoles, DVDs, and video game accessories, and provide related e-commerce retailing and interactive marketing services.
 
Business Combination and Corporate Restructure
 
On February 25, 2010, we completed a “reverse acquisition” transaction, in which we entered into a securities exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Gamers Factory, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Gamers” or the “Company”) and for certain limited purposes, its stockholders. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the shareholders of Gamers transferred all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Gamers to us in exchange for 7,090,000 newly issued shares of our common stock (the “Transaction”). At the time of the Transaction, our corporate name was City Language Exchange, Inc. Following the merger, we changed our name to Game Trading Technologies, Inc. (the “GTTI”) and our trading symbol to “GMTD.OB.” As a result of the Transaction, Gamers became our wholly-owned subsidiary, with Gamers’ former shareholders acquiring a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock.
 
The transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement were accounted for as a “reverse acquisition,” since the stockholders of Gamers owned a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock immediately following the Transaction. Gamers is deemed to be the acquirer in the Transaction and, consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the financial statements will be those of Gamers and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of Gamers. Except for the right of the holders of our series A convertible preferred stock, as a class, to elect one of our directors, no arrangements or understandings exist among present or former controlling stockholders with respect to the election of members of our board of directors and, to our knowledge, no other arrangements exist that might result in a change of control of our company.
 
In connection with the closing of the Exchange Agreement, we completed the closing of a private placement (referred to herein as the “February 2010 private placement”) of $3,900,000 of units (each, a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”) pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 25, 2010 (The “Purchase Agreement”), with each Unit consisting of one share of our series A convertible preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value equal to $2.00 per share and is initially convertible at any time into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $2.00 per share or an aggregate of 1,950,000 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock (equivalent to 100% warrant coverage in respect of the shares underlying the Series A Preferred Stock) at an exercise price of $2.50 per share through February 25, 2015.
 
At the closing of the February 2010 private placement, buyers that purchased shares of our Series A Preferred Stock with a stated value of at least $150,000 received a unit purchase option (the “Unit Purchase Option”) to purchase, on the same terms as those Units sold at the closing of the February 2010 private placement, additional Units equal to 50% of the Units they purchased at the closing of the February 2010 private placement. The shares of common stock underlying the securities issuable upon exercise of a Unit Purchase Option are entitled to the same registration rights as those securities underlying the Units issued at the closing of the February 2010 private placement.
 
On April 20, 2010, certain holders of Unit Purchase Options exercised Unit Purchase Options to purchase 825,000 Units resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to us of $1,650,000. Each Unit consisted of one share of Series A Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share through April 20, 2015.
 
On April 26, 2010, the holders of certain Unit Purchase Options exercised Unit Purchase Options to purchase 62,500 units resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to us of $125,000. Each Unit consisted of one share of Series A Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share through April 26, 2015.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)
September 30, 2010
 
Basis of Presentation
 
Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America, have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. The results of operations for any interim period presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
The consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements is as follows:
 
Principle of Consolidation
 
The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of Game Trading Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Equity investments in which the Company exercises significant influence but do not control and are not the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence over the investee and which do not have readily determinable fair values are accounted for under the cost method.
 
Management’s Use of Estimates and Assumptions
 
The preparation of the consolidated condensed financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated condensed financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain amounts reported in previous period have been reclassified to conform to the Company’s current period presentation.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. Management considers this to be an acceptable business risk.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
The Company extends credit to customers without requiring collateral. The Company uses the allowances method to provide for doubtful accounts based on management’s evaluations of the collectability of accounts receivable. Management’s evaluation is based on the Company’s historical collection experience and a review of past-due amounts. Based on management’s evaluation of collectability, there is a $100,000 allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company wrote off $37,976 and $248,957 respectively as uncollectible accounts receivables. The Company determines accounts receivable to be delinquent when greater than 30 days past due. Accounts receivable are written off when it is determined that amounts are uncollectible.

Inventory
 
Inventory, consisting of goods held for resale, is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, no allowance for obsolete inventory was deemed necessary based on management’s estimate of the realizability of the inventory.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization expense is computed using principally accelerated methods over the estimated useful life of the related assets ranging from 3 to 7 years. When assets are sold or retired, their costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is included in the statement of operations.
 
The Company recognizes an impairment loss on property and equipment when evidence, such as the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), indicates that future operations will not produce sufficient revenue to cover the related future costs, including depreciation, and when the carrying amount of the asset cannot be realized through sale. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the assets.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company assesses long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of asset groups to be held and used in measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. The Company evaluated its long-lived assets and no impairment charges were recorded for any of the periods presented.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue based on Account Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 “Revenue Recognition” which contains Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements’ and No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, shipment has occurred, price is fixed or determinable and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.  The Company had $8,005,366 and $26,038,605 and $6,527,744 and $27,867,603 in revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.
 
Seasonality
 
Our business is seasonal since we rely upon retailers and consumers, with the major portion of our sales and operating profits occurring during the first fiscal quarter following the holiday selling season. Since our supply of video game products depends significantly on consumer trade-ins and returns, there exists significant supply of these items immediately following the holiday season in January through March. Historically, our sales generally lag the holiday season by one quarter. We have historically generated our highest sales and operating profits during the first quarter of the year.
 
Shipping and Handling Costs
 
The Company includes its outbound shipping and handling costs in selling, general and administrative expenses. Those costs were $170,062 and $557,630 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and $119,114 and $339,991 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. Inbound shipping and handling costs are included as an allocation to inventory. Those costs were $155,671 and $303,757 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and $58,219 and $574,826 for the three and nine months ended September 30 2009, respectively.

Share Based Expenses
 
ASC 718 “Compensation—Stock Compensation” , codified in SFAS No. 123, prescribes that accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based payment awards to employees, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights, may be classified as either equity or liabilities. The Company should determine if a present obligation to settle the share-based payment transaction in cash or other assets exists. A present obligation to settle in cash or other assets exists if:
 
 
a)
the option to settle by issuing equity instruments lacks commercial substance, or
 
 
b)
the present obligation is implied because of an entity’s past practices or stated policies. If a present obligation exists, the transaction should be recognized as a liability; otherwise, the transaction should be recognized as equity.
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50 “Equity—Based Payments to Non-Employees” which codified SFAS 123 and the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus in Issue No. 96-18 (“EITF 96-18”), “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable:
 
 
a)
the goods or services received or
 
 
b)
the equity instruments issued.
 
The fair value of the share-based payment transaction should be determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
 
Fair value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company adopted ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” , formerly SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” effective January 1, 2009. ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There was no impact relating to the adoption of ASC 820 to the Company’s financial statements. ASC 820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
 
 
Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
 
 
 
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
 
 
 
Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
 
Financial instruments consist principally of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
 
Derivative Instruments and Hedging
 
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. See Note 6.

Income Taxes
 
Under the asset and liability method prescribed under ASC 740, Income Taxes, The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The liability method measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the financial statements. The resulting deferred tax assets or liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they occur. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
 
The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would sustain the position in an examination. For tax positions meeting a “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the benefit expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. For tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had no uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as general and administrative expenses. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations nor has it had any federal or state examinations since its inception. All of the Company”s tax years are subject to federal and state tax examination.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company classifies a business that has been disposed as a discontinued operation if the cash flow of the business has been eliminated from the ongoing operations and will no longer have any significant continuing involvement in the Company. The results of operations of discontinued operations through the date of sale, including any gains or losses on disposition, are aggregated and presented as one line in the consolidated statements of operations.  ASC 360-10-05, formerly SFAS No. 144 requires the classification of amounts presented for prior years as discontinued operations. The amounts presented in the statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were classified to comply with ASC 360-10-05.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company decided to discontinue operations of Planet Replay, LLC, a retail affiliate of the Company, and sell or liquidate the assets of the discontinued operations. The decision to discontinue the operations of Planet Replay, LLC was based upon the historical and continuing losses of Planet Replay, LLC. All assets were disposed during 2007 and liabilities of $0 and $88,921 existed at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Company recognized a loss from discontinued operations totaling $0 and $21,847 and $0 and $90,656 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The assets and liabilities of the discontinued operation are presented separately under captions “Assets of discontinued operation” and “Liabilities of discontinued operation,” respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance. In conjunction with the discontinued operations, the Company has certain operating lease obligations for abandoned retail locations. These obligations were terminated with the landlord in exchange for a termination fee of $35,524 in July 2010.
 
Income (loss) Per Common Share
 
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share since their effect is anti-dilutive.
 
Liquidity
 
As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $3,659,854 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and a net income from continuing operations of $1,601,287 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2010, the Company’s current assets exceed its current liabilities by $2,799,643, with cash and cash equivalents representing $411,003.

Recent Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-10 (ASU 2010-10), “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments for Certain Investment Funds.” The amendments in this Update are effective as of the beginning of a reporting entity’s first annual period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The adoption of provisions of ASU 2010-10 does not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
ASU No. 2010-11 was issued in March 2010, and clarifies that the transfer of credit risk that is only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another is an embedded derivative feature that should not be subject to potential bifurcation and separate accounting. This ASU will be effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-11 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-12, “Income Taxes” (Topic 740). In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-12 (ASU 2010-12), IncomeTaxes (Topic 740): Accounting for Certain Tax Effects of the 2010 Health Care Reform Acts. After consultation with the FASB, the SEC stated that it “would not object to a registrant incorporating the effects of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 when accounting for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-12 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
ASU No. 2010-13 was issued in April 2010, and will clarify the classification of an employee share based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying security trades. This ASU will be effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17 (ASU 2010-17), Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. The amendments in this Update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity should apply the amendments retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-17 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-18 “Receivables (Topic 310) – Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan is Part of a Pool that is Accounted for as a Single Asset – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” ASU 2010-18 provides guidance on account for acquired loans that have evidence of credit deterioration upon acquisition. It allows acquired assets with common risk characteristics to be accounted for in the aggregate as a pool. ASU 2010-18 is effective for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after July 15, 2010. The Company does not expect ASU 2010-18 to have an impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.

The amendments in this Update are effective as of the announcement date of March 18, 2010. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-19 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

2. Restatement of Financial Statement
 
We have restated our previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 to correct errors and reclassifications in the accounting for the following:
 
·  
Total stock-based compensation expense in connection with options granted to employees recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 incorrectly calculated an accelerated stock option vesting for certain employees which consequently impacted amortization of the Stock Compensation (Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation") over the remaining vesting period.  Furthermore, the Company reevaluated the historical volatility methodology utilized in the calculation of the employee stock-based compensation and non-employee stock-based compensation to estimate an expected volatility of similar public companies.
 
·  
The Company determined it had certain product financing arrangement with a related party, DK Trading Partners, LLC ("DK Trading") under ASC 470-40 Product Financing Arrangements had not been properly recorded and disclosed. DK Trading was required to procure, purchase and sell up to $3,000,000 of pre-owned video games and the arrangement required the Company to provide a minimum consideration to the related party of $600,000 from the period of August 13, 2010 through September 15, 2010.  Furthermore, The Company failed to include the $600,000 consideration in the Cost of Sales in the Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. Furthermore, the Company inaccurately accrued only $300,000 of the $600,000 consideration on the Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2010. The previous filed 10Q omitted the disclosures relating to the transaction and the corresponding balance due of $3.6 million to DK Trading at September 30, 2010 was reclassified from Accounts Payable to Product Financing -Related Party on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
 
·  
The Company determined  a customer order of approximately $1.1 million recognized as revenue in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 Statement of Operations was incorrectly recorded due to the failure to meet the revenue recognition criteria in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 605-10 attributable to timing occurrence of the delivery. The Company determined the customer's F.O.B. destination order shipped in September 2010 was subsequently received by the customer in October 2010.  The Company will decrease revenue  in the amount of approximately $1.1 million and decrease cost of sales in the amount of approximately $623,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. A corresponding decrease in accounts receivable of $1.1 million and increase in inventory of approximately $623,000 have been adjusted accordingly. The transaction will be included in the fourth quarter and full year end results of 2010.
 
·  
The Company determined it had not properly calculated the costs of sales utilizing the average costs method. Subsequently, the Statement of operations have been adjusted to reflect an appropriate allocation and the corresponding inventory adjustment has been recorded decreasing the cost of sales and increasing inventory in the amount of approximately $471,000 and $565,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
·  
The Company determined it had not properly calculated the costs of sales utilizing the average costs method for three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Subsequently, the Statement of operations have been adjusted to reflect an appropriate allocation and the corresponding inventory adjustment has been recorded increasing the cost of sales and decreasing inventory in the amount of approximately $472,000  for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and increasing the cost of sales and decreasing inventory in the amount of approximately $565,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

We are authorized to issue shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, $2.00 stated value. As of September 30, 2010, 20,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock were authorized, with 2,837,500 shares designated as Series A Preferred Stock, and 2,837,500 shares issued and outstanding. The rights and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock include, among other things, the following:
 
 
 
liquidation preferences (120% of stated value);
 
 
 
dividend preferences;
 
The Series A Preferred Stock provides an annual dividend of 5% payable quarterly in arrears in cash or stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, into one share of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.00 per share, subject to adjustments for anti-dilution provisions.
 
On February 25, 2009, the Company sold 1,950,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with attached warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,950,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.00 per share. The Company received $3,900,000 from the sale of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. Since the Series A Preferred Stock may ultimately be redeemable at the option of the holder, the carrying value of the preferred stock, net of discount and accumulated dividends, has been classified as temporary equity on the balance sheet at September 30, 2010.
 
In accordance with ASC 470 Topic “ Debt” a portion of the proceeds were allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair value, which totaled $2,444,729 using the Black Scholes option pricing model. Further, the Company attributed a beneficial conversion feature of $1,455,271 to the Series A preferred shares based upon the difference between the effective conversion price of those shares and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2)  expected volatility of 74%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 2.2%, (4) expected life of 5 years, and (5) estimated fair value of GTTI common stock of $4.25 per share. The expected term of the warrants represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards and giving consideration to the contractual terms. The amounts attributable to the warrants and beneficial conversion feature, aggregating $3,900,000 have been recorded as a discount and deducted from the face value of the preferred stock. Since the preferred stock is classified as temporary equity, the discount will be amortized over the period from issuance to February 2015 (the initial redemption date) as a charge to additional paid-in capital (since there is a deficit in retained earnings).

Since the Series A may ultimately be redeemable at the option of the holder, the carrying value of the preferred stock, net of discount and accumulated dividends, has been classified as temporary equity on the balance sheet at September 30, 2010.
 
In accordance with ASC 470 Topic “ Debt” a portion of the proceeds were allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair value, which totaled $1,162,878 using the Black Scholes option pricing model. Further, the Company attributed a beneficial conversion feature of $612,122 to the Series A preferred shares based upon the difference between the effective conversion price of those shares and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2)  expected volatility of 74%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 2.2%, (4) expected life of 5 years, and (5) estimated fair value of GTTI common stock of $4.70 per share. The expected term of the warrants represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards and giving consideration to the contractual terms. The amounts attributable to the warrants and beneficial conversion feature, aggregating $1,775,000, have been recorded as a discount and deducted from the face value of the preferred stock. Since the preferred stock is classified as temporary equity, the discount will be amortized over the period from issuance to April 2015 (the initial redemption date) as a charge to additional paid-in capital (since there is a deficit in retained earnings).
 
Effective June 30, 2010, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and of the outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock (collectively, the “Warrants”) issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, agreed to amend the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants in the following manner:
 
 
 
The parties agreed to add a provision to the certificate of designation for the Series A Preferred Stock whereby the minimum price in which the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock may be reduced shall be equal to $1.00;
 
 
 
The parties agreed to add a provision to the Warrants whereby the minimum price in which the exercise price of the Warrants may be reduced shall be equal to $1.00;
 
 
 
The parties agreed to add a provision to the Purchase Agreement whereby until the 36 month anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall not issue any of its equity securities below $1.00 without the prior written consent of any holder who was issued a Warrant for an aggregate of 2% or more of the Warrants initially issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
 
The charge to additional paid in capital for amortization of discount and costs for the period ended September 30, 2010 was $602,915. There was no amortization of discounts for Series A preferred stock for the period ended September 30, 2009.
 
For the period ended September 30, 2010 we have paid dividends in the amount of $84,965 and cumulative accrued dividends of $70,938. The accrued dividends have been charged to additional paid-in capital (since there is a deficit in retained earnings) and the net unpaid accrued dividends been added to the carrying value of the preferred stock. There were no accrued dividends for Series A preferred stock for the period ended September 30, 2009.
 
10. CAPITAL STOCK
 
The Company has authorized 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $.0001 per share. As of September 30, 2010, the Company has 2,837,500 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding, designated Series A preferred stock. There were no shares of preferred stock outstanding as of December 31, 2009. The company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $.0001 per share. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company has 8,290,000 and 7,090,000, respectively, of shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
 
On February 25, 2010, we completed a “reverse acquisition” transaction, in which we entered into a securities exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Gamers Factory, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Gamers” or the “Company”) and for certain limited purposes, its stockholders. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the shareholders of Gamers transferred all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Gamers to us in exchange for 7,090,000 newly issued shares of our common stock (the “Transaction”). As a result of the Transaction, Gamers became our wholly-owned subsidiary, with Gamers’ former shareholders acquiring a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted to employees during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and the weighted-average significant assumptions used to determine those fair values, using a Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) option pricing model are as follows:

The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The Company has no historical experience with which to establish a basis for determining an expected life of these awards. Therefore, the Company only gave consideration to the contractual terms and did not consider the vesting schedules, exercise patterns and pre-vesting and post-vesting forfeitures significant to the expected life of the option award.
 
We estimate the volatility of our common stock based on the calculated historical volatility of similar entities in industry, in size and in financial leverage whose shares prices are publicly available.

The Company based the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award. The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
 
Total stock-based compensation expense in connection with options granted to employees recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $452,285 and $1,126,251, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $0, respectively, net of tax effect. Additionally, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and unvested as of September 30, 2010 is $0.
 
Warrants
 
The following table summarizes the changes in the warrants outstanding at September 30, 2010, and the related prices for the shares of the Company’s common stock issued to non-employees of the Company. These warrants were issued in lieu of cash compensation for services performed or financing expenses and in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock private placement.

The Company issued 2,837,500 warrants to holders of Series A Preferred Stock (The “Series A Warrant”) and 400,000 compensatory warrants to non-employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Each Series A Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of our common stock per warrant , has a term of five years from the date of issuance and an exercise price of $2.50. The Series A warrants shall become exercisable on a cashless exercise basis if the underlying shares have not been fully registered within twelve months of the closing of the February 2010 private placement. Under FASB Statement 123R, the Company estimates the fair value of each stock award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for the grants, respectively; dividend yield of zero percent for all periods; expected volatility is 74% ; risk-free interest rate of .41%; expected lives ranging from three years to five years.
 
Total non-employee stock-based compensation expense in connection with warrants recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $0 and $ 1,579,689 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $0, respectively, net of tax effect.

RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY-ISSUED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
As previously described in the “Explanation of our Restatement” preface to this First Amendment, we have restated our condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, to correct errors related to revenue and the allocation of cost of sales, to correct errors and reporting for the related party product financing costs and correct an overstatement of share-based compensation expense and revaluation of stock option methodology for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been updated to reflect the restatements and which is more fully described in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.  Except as amended to reflect the restatements previously described, the information in this Item 2 has not been updated and continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing.
 
Overview
 
We are a leading provider of comprehensive trading solutions and services for video game retailers, publishers, rental companies, and consumers. Through our trading platform, we provide our customers with extensive services including valuation, procurement, refurbishment, and merchandising of pre-owned video games. Additionally, through our trading platform, we process and market video game consoles, DVDs, and video game accessories, and provide related e-commerce retailing and interactive marketing services.
 
On February 25, 2010, we completed a “reverse acquisition” transaction, in which we entered into the Exchange Agreement with Gamers Factory, Inc. (“Gamers”) and for certain limited purposes, its stockholders. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the shareholders of Gamers transferred all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Gamers to us in exchange for 7,090,000 newly issued shares of our common stock (the “Transaction”). As a result of the Transaction, Gamers became our wholly-owned subsidiary, with Gamers’ former shareholders acquiring a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock. At the time of the Transaction, our corporate name was City Language Exchange, Inc. Following the merger, we changed our name to Game Trading Technologies, Inc. (“GTTI”)
 
In connection with the Transaction, we completed the closing of a private placement of $3,900,000 in units (each, a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”), each Unit consisting of one share of our series A convertible preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock, to purchasers that qualified as accredited investors, as defined in Regulation D, pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 25, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value equal to $2.00 per share and is initially convertible at any time into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $2.00 per share or an aggregate of 1,950,000 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock (equivalent to 100% warrant coverage in respect of the shares underlying both the Series A Preferred Stock) at an exercise price of $2.50 per share through February 25, 2015.
 
On April 20, 2010, certain holders of Unit Purchase Options exercised Unit Purchase Options to purchase 825,000 Units resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to us of $1,650,000. Each Unit consisted of one share of Series A Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share through April 20, 2015.
 
On April 26, 2010, the holders of certain Unit Purchase Options exercised Options to purchase 62,500 Units resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to us of $125,000. Each Unit consisted of one share of the Series A Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share through April 26, 2015.

Recent Developments
 
Effective June 30, 2010, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and of the outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock (collectively, the “Warrants”) issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement agreed to amend the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants in the following manner:
 
 
 
The parties agreed to add a provision to the certificate of designation for the Series A Preferred Stock whereby the minimum price that the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock may be reduced shall be equal to $1.00;
 
 
 
The parties agreed to add a provision to the Warrants whereby the minimum price that the exercise price of the Warrants may be reduced shall be equal to $1.00; and
 
 
 
The parties agreed to add a provision to the Purchase Agreement whereby until the 36 month anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall not issue any of its equity securities below $1.00 without the prior written consent of any holder who was issued a Warrant for an aggregate of 2% or more of the Warrants initially issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Revenues . During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we had an increase in revenues of $1,477,622, or 23%, and a decrease in revenue of $1,828,998, or 7%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009. Excluding a major extraordinary retailer liquidation transaction consisting of approximately $5.5 million in sales in the first half of 2009, revenues would have shown an increase of approximately $3.7 million, or 16%, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The primary factor driving the increase for the comparable three months ended September 30, 2010 was an increase in sales to our largest customers. As demonstrated in the corresponding prior year, from time to time larger than normal opportunities are made available to us for the acquisition and/or sale of used game products. These opportunities are not in the normal course of our business and there is no assurance when or if such opportunities will be made available to us in the future.
 
Cost of Sales . During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we had an increase in cost of sales of $2,782,525, or 54%, and an increase in cost of sales of $89,041, or less than 1%, respectively, compared to the corresponding three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009. Our 54% increase in the three months and the less than 1% decrease in nine months ended September 30, 2010 in costs primarily correlate with the respective increase and decrease in revenue for the comparable periods. In addition, the Company entered into numerous product financing arrangements under ASC 47-40 which the corresponding costs have been included as cost of sales of product financing of $600,000 and $791,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and $0 and $250,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased by $1,304,903, or 94%, and decreased by $1,918,039, or 41%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively, when compared to the corresponding three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in gross profit margin is attributable to a higher concentration of sales of lower margin bulk “as-is” product . Gross profit margin was further impacted by a higher cost of sales due to broker fees and other costs associated with obtaining special credit terms with certain vendors and product financing arrangements. Exclusive of the product financing costs for fiscal 2010 and 2009, the gross margins were 9% and 14% respectively.

Operating Expense . Operating expenses, which consist of sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative costs, stock based compensation and depreciation, totaled $1,434,442 and $6,336,720 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $1,079,909 and $2,383,365 during the corresponding three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased by $354,533 and $3,953,355, or 33% and 166%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009. The major component of these increased expenses between the corresponding periods was professional services consisting of legal, accounting and investor relations fees as well as non-cash employee stock based compensation of $452,285 and $1,126,251 and non-employee stock based compensation of $0 and $1,579,689  for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively .
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A). SG&A expenses consisting of salaries, advertising, professional service fees, investor relations services and overhead expenses, totaled $957,656 and $3,570,980 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $1,059,480 and $2,329,543 during the corresponding three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively. SG&A decreased by $101,824, or 10%, and increased by $1,241,437, or 53%, between the corresponding three and nine months periods ending September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The change between the corresponding nine month periods is primarily attributable to professional fees associated with the transaction and February 2010 private placement and investor relations fees totaling approximately $800,000. The change in professional fees between the corresponding three month periods resulted in a decrease of approximately $142,000 attributable to prior year financing costs expensed in the three month period ended September 30, 2009. Furthermore, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, the administrative salaries and related costs increased approximately $52,000 and $281,000, respectively, a comparable increase in volume of small package shipments in outbound shipping costs increased approximately $51,000 and $218,000,respectively and IT related services decreased approximately $54,000 and increase approximately $62,000, respectively between the corresponding three and nine months comparative periods.
 
Stock Based Compensation . During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the employee stock based compensation expense was $452,285 and $1,126,251, respectively from issuances of employee incentive stock options. The incentive stock options were valued using the Black Scholes method and the option shall become exercisable during the term of recipient’s employment in three equal annual installments.. There were no stock option issuances in the prior year period.
 
Non-Employee Stock Based Compensation . For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, $0 and $1,579,689 non-cash charges were due to the issuance of stock warrants in exchange for professional services associated with transaction and February 2010 private placement. The value of the warrants was determined using the Black Scholes method, the details of which are more fully explained within the notes to the financial statements. There were no warrant issuances in the prior year period.
 
Net Income (Loss). We reported net loss of $1,379,807 and a net loss of $3,659,854 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to a net income of $79,135 and $1,691,942 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in financing and merger transaction costs as well as the charges resulting from the warrants and stock options issuances related to the February 2010 merger transaction and Series A Preferred private placement are the primary reasons for such change between the corresponding periods. Furthermore, the increase in product financing costs and public entity costs increased the losses for the current year.
 
Seasonality
 
Our business is seasonal since we rely upon retailers and consumers, with the major portion of our sales and operating profits occurring during the first fiscal quarter following the holiday selling season. Since our supply of video game products depends significantly on consumer trade-ins and returns, there exists significant supply of these items immediately following the holiday season in January through March. Historically, our sales generally lag the holiday season by one quarter. We have historically generated our highest sales and operating profits during the first quarter of the year.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We have financed our operations since inception primarily through private and public offerings of our equity securities and the issuance of various debt instruments and asset based lending.
 
Working Capital
 
Our working capital increased by $2,201,756, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from a working capital surplus of $597,887 at December 31, 2009 to a working capital surplus of $2,799,643 at September 30, 2010.

Series A Preferred Stock Offering
 
We completed the closing of a private placement of $3,900,000 of units (each, a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”) pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 25, 2010, with each Unit consisting of one share of our Series A Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value equal to $2.00 per share and is initially convertible at any time into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $2.00 per share or an aggregate of 1,950,000 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock (equivalent to 100% warrant coverage in respect of the shares underlying the series A convertible preferred stock) at an exercise price of $2.50 per share through February 25, 2015.
 
On April 20, 2010, certain holders of Unit Purchase Options exercised Unit Purchase Options to purchase 825,000 Units resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to us of $1,650,000. Each Unit consisted of one share of Series A Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share through April 20, 2015.
 
On April 26, 2010, the holders of certain Unit Purchase Options exercised Options to purchase 62,500 Units resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to us of $125,000. Each Unit consisted of one share of the Series A Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share through April 26, 2015.
 
Working Capital Line of Credit
 
On May 4, 2010, Gamers Factory, Inc. (the “Borrower”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit to the Borrower equal to the lesser of (i) $2,500,000 or the sum of (a) 75% of the balance due on Acceptable Receivables (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and (b) the lesser of $1,000,000 or 20% of the value of Acceptable Inventory (as defined in the Loan Agreement). The Borrower has the right to prepay loans under the Loan Agreement in whole or in part at any time. All amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement must be repaid on or before May 27, 2011.
 
Initial borrowings under the Loan Agreement were subject to, among other things, the substantially concurrent repayment by the Borrower of all amounts due and owing under the Borrower’s existing second amended and restated loan agreement and $1,800,000 second amended and restated promissory note, each dated December 29, 2009, respectively, with The Columbia Bank and the satisfaction and termination of such borrowing (collectively, the “Columbia Bank Loan”). All amounts owed under the Columbia Bank Loan were satisfied and terminated by Borrower on May 6, 2010.
 
As of September 30, 2010, the balance on the revolver was $2,363,285, with additional availability of $136,715.
 
Proceeds from the issuance of common stock
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company did not receive any proceeds from the issuance of its common stock.
 
Cashflow analysis
 
Cash used in operations was $8,361,469 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and proceeds provided by was $3,040,715 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. During the period ended September 30, 2010, our primary capital needs were for working capital necessary to fund inventory purchases and to manage our trade receivables and trade payables.
 
We utilized cash for investing activities of $280,315 and $37,280 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and 2009, respectively. This increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of additional computer and warehouse equipment.
 
Cash provided from financing activities was $8,411,699 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to cash used in financing activities of $3,136,358 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This increase is primarily attributable to funds received from the February 2010 private placement and subsequent exercise of Unit Purchase Options in April 2010 for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,675,000 and proceeds on our working capital line of credit used for inventory purchases of $2,363,285 and net proceeds on the Product financing of $3,599,562 . The financing activities also included repayments of certain notes payable of $3,142,169 and $3,136,357 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Additionally, the Series A Preferred Stock dividends paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $83,979.

We believe that we will require additional financing to carry out our intended objectives during the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that such financing will be available or, if it is available, that we will be able to structure such financing on terms acceptable to us and that it will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements until we can reach a level of profitable operations and positive cash flows. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern. We currently have no firm commitments for any additional capital.
 
The downturn in the United States stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our shares of common stock or the debt securities may cause us to be subject to restrictive covenants. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.

As of September 30, 2010, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Rule 13a-15(e)) as of September 30, 2010. Management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our management has reassessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2010 for the reasons set forth below:
 
The Company did not have sufficient oversight to ensure financial reporting, proper disclosures around related-party transactions or dissemination of the Company’s policies and procedures.
The Company did not maintain effective controls over the period-end financial reporting process, including controls and supporting documentation with respect to journal entries, account reconciliations and proper segregation of duties.
The Company did not implement proper segregation of duties. In certain instances, persons responsible to review transactions for validity, completeness and accuracy were also responsible for preparation.
The Company’s stock option vesting determination was inaccurately established in February 2010 and warrant and stock option methodology was inconsistent with guidance.
The Company did not maintain effective controls within the inventory function, including purchasing, receiving, returns, physical inventory and obsolescence analysis.
The Company did not develop and maintain effective general computer controls, including use of a financial application and inventory management system that lack sufficient internal controls, ensuring proper security access within the financial and inventory management applications, ensuring proper change management procedures were followed, and ensuring adequate information technology procedures were followed in accordance with generally accepted best practices.
The Company failed to maintain effective controls within the revenue function, including monitoring major sales contracts to ensure revenue recognition criteria were identified and properly monitored to ensure revenue was recognized, inventory was relieved, and accounts receivable and cost of goods sold were recorded in the correct period.

MANAGEMENT’S REMEDIATION PLAN
 
Based on the control deficiencies identified above, we have designed and plan to implement, or in some cases have already implemented, the specific remediation initiatives described below:
 
Prior to filing this First Amendment, we designed and are implementing robust corporate governance including: (1) direct oversight of our internal controls by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors; (2) detailed review of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors; (3) adoption and communication of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; (4) adoption and communication of our Policy on Insider Trading; (5) revision of policies within our employee handbook to ensure that appropriate disciplinary actions may be taken in the event an employee fails to properly perform their responsible internal controls or intentionally overrides any internal control and completion of employee training on the policy revisions; (6) adoption of charters for our Audit, Compensation, Governance and Nominating Committees of our Board of Directors; (7) adoption of our Whistleblower Policy, which includes our anonymous reporting system; and (8) adoption of our policy on reporting and investigating complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.
In September 2010, we hired a Chief Financial Officer with considerable public company reporting experience who is evaluating the depth and breadth of knowledge of US GAAP and external reporting requirements among the current members of the accounting staff. We are committed to establishing procedures and utilizing experienced individuals with professional supervision to properly segregate duties, prepare and approve the consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures in accordance with US GAAP.
Prior to filing this First Amendment, we improved our financial reporting and inventory and revenue procedures in financial reporting and in inventory and in revenue cycles and continue to implement fundamental controls aligned with our business strategy. There is a specific focus on customer contracts, revenue recognition and enhancing 3rd party shipper reporting requirements.
Prior to filing this First Amendment, we enhanced our stock option and warrant valuation procedures to incorporate a comparative analysis of firms similar to ours that have significant stock trading history.
The Board of Directors is more actively involved in providing additional oversight of the Company’s internal controls, formal review of our financial statements, and more detailed review of the draft periodic reports we anticipate filing with the SEC.
We have initiated efforts to ensure our employees understand the importance of internal controls and compliance with corporate policies and procedures. We will implement a reporting and certification process for management involved in the performance of internal controls and preparation of the Company’s financial statements.
We will design and implement a formalized financial reporting process that includes balance sheet reconciliations, properly prepared, supported and reviewed journal entries, properly segregated duties, and properly completed and approved close checklist and calendar.
We will initiate a formal feasibility assessment for implementing a compliant ERP system to replace our current financial software application and inventory management system during our current fiscal year. As part of this assessment, we will thoroughly review the roles and responsibilities of our staff involved in the performance of our financial close process and other internal controls to ensure duties are properly segregated, access rights within our new financial software application comply with designated roles and responsibilities and support the proper segregation of duties.
The Company may retain third party specialists to assist us in the design, implementation and testing of our internal controls as necessary.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect such controls.
