Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2011

(Unaudited)

1. Organization, History and Business

Single Touch Systems Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 31, 2000, under its original name, Hosting Site Network, Inc. On May 12, 2008, the Company changed its name to Single Touch Systems Inc.

On July 24, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. (“Interactive”), a company incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 2, 2002, in exchange for issuing 42,967,554 shares of its common stock. For financial reporting purposes, the acquisition was treated as a reverse acquisition whereby Interactive’s operations continue to be reported as if it had actually been the acquirer. Assets and liabilities continue to be reported at Interactive’s historical cost, as the Company had nominal assets, liabilities and operations before the reverse acquisition.

The Company develops software applications utilized by end users in downloading images, ringtones, games, and other content into their cell phones and other wireless communication devices.

On May 27, 2008, Interactive effected a 1-for-2 reverse split of its common stock. All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of shares outstanding and per-share amounts have been restated to reflect this stock split.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2011, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The Company believes that the disclosures in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010 filed with the Commission on December 29, 2010.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the 2010 amounts to 2011 classifications for comparative purposes.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Single Touch Systems Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Single Touch Interactive, Inc, and HSN, Inc. (an inactive company formed in New Jersey on August 21, 2001). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as revised by SAB No. 104. As such, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectability is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts.

Revenue is derived from licensing of the Company’s wireless applications to various telecommunication companies. Under the terms of the various licensing agreements, the Company receives a fee, net of revenue sharing and other costs, each time its application is utilized by the end user. Revenue is recognized in the month the application is utilized. The Company records its revenue pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-45-45, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.”

Advanced licensing fees received with minimum guarantees where the actual period in which the fees are earned can not be determined are recognized in income on the straight line basis over the term of the license in accordance with ASC Topic 928-605-25, “Financial Reporting in the Record and Music Industry.”

In addition, the Company also generates income through the development of software for third parties on a contractual basis. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is reported at the customers’ outstanding balances less any allowance for doubtful accounts. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable.

Table of Contents

Single Touch Systems Inc.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

An allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and information collected from individual customers. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired. As of March 31, 2011, the Company’s provision for bad debt amounted to $13,463.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.

Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes based upon the following estimated useful lives:

	Software development	2- 3 years
	Equipment	5 years
	Computer hardware	5 years
	Office furniture	7 years

Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value. At March 31, 2011, the Company determined that none of its long-term assets were impaired.

Prepaid Royalties

The Company’s agreements with licensors and developers generally provide it with exclusive publishing rights and require it to make advance royalty payments that are recouped against royalties due to the licensor or developer based on product sales. Prepaid royalties are amortized on a software application-by-application basis, based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total current and estimated future sales or the contractual royalty rate based on actual net product sales. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of prepaid royalties, and charges to operations the amount that management determines is probable that will not be recouped at the contractual royalty rate in the period in which such determination is made or at the time the Company determines that it will cancel a development project. Prepaid royalties are classified as current and non-current assets based upon estimated net product sales within the next year.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application. Capitalized software development costs represent the costs associated with the internal development of the Company’s software applications. Amortization of such costs is recorded on a software application-by-application basis, based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total of current and estimated future sales for the applications or the straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful life of the software application. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of capitalized software costs and will charge to operations amounts that are deemed unrecoverable for projects it abandons.

Issuances Involving Non-cash Consideration

All issuances of the Company’s stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a dollar amount equaling the market value of the shares issued on the date the shares were issued for such services. The non-cash consideration received pertains to employee, professional, and consulting services.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under ACS Topic 505-50, formerly SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment” and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - An amendment to SFAS No. 123.” These standards define a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In accordance with SFAS Nos. 123R and 148, the cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, whereby compensation cost

Table of Contents

Single Touch Systems Inc.

is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the pricing model at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. During the three months ended and six months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recognized stock based compensation expense of $0 and $3,603,708, respectively, which is included in compensation expense. The $3,603,708 relates to the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to its president in December 2010 valued at $2,700,000 and from the granting of options to employees and consultants to purchase 9,655,000 of the Company’s common stock in December 2010, valued at $903,708. During the three months and six months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recognized stock based compensation expense of $0 and $1,152,625, respectively. The $1,152,625 relates to the granting of a common stock warrant to an advisor.

Loss Per Share

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260-10, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented since the effect of the assumed exercise or conversion of stock options, warrants, and debt to purchase common shares, would have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares as of March 31, 2011 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share include 37,836,820 warrants, 18,330,000 options, and $469,182 of debt convertible into 1,268,060 shares of the Company’s common stock. Potential common shares as of March 31, 2010 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share include 35,580,145 warrants, 8,675,000 options, and $2,892,957 of debt convertible into 31,263,314 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all stable, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company primarily transacts its business with one financial institution. The amount on deposit in that one institution may from time-to-time exceed the federally insured limit.

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2011, approximately 93% of the Company’s revenue was generated from contracts with one customer. During the three months and six months ended March 31, 2010, approximately 40% of the Company’s revenue was generated from the same customer. The Company had a total of 15 customers during the six months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to 17 customers during the six month period ended March 31, 2010.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affects the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Convertible Debentures

If the conversion feature of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense or equity (if the debt is due to a related party), over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for its income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740,”Income Taxes” (formerly SFAS No. 109). The method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740 is an asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial reporting bases of other assets and liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-01 (ASU 2011-01) Receivables (Topic 310): “Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings” in Update No. 2010-20. ASU 2011-01 temporarily delays the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings.

12. Fair Value

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of notes payable and convertible debentures. Notes payable and convertible debentures are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value. The Company determines the fair value of notes payable and convertible debentures based on the effective yields of similar obligations. The Company believes all of the financial instruments’ recorded values approximate fair market value because of their nature and respective durations.

The Company complies with the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), previously referred to as SFAS No. 157. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. ASC 820-10-35, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Subsequent Measurement” (“ASC 820-10-35”), clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820-10-35 also requires that a fair value measurement reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available. Assumptions include the risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model. The Company also follows ASC 825, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, previously referred to as FAS 107-1 to expand required disclosures.

ASC 820-10-35 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10-35 are described below:

Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Item 2 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with Single Touch's financial statements and the related notes thereto. The Management's Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. When used, the words “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect,” and the like, and/or future-tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” etc.), or similar expressions, identify certain of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Report on Form 10-Q. The Company’s actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Report on Form 10-Q.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial data included elsewhere in this report. See also the notes to our consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We have identified the following accounting policies that we believe are key to an understanding of our financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.

Revenue Recognition

Under the terms of various service and licensing agreements, we receive a fee, net of revenue sharing and other costs, each time our application is utilized by the end user. Revenue is recognized in the month the application is utilized. We record our revenue pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-45, formerly EITF Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.”

Non-monetary Consideration Issued for Services

We value all services rendered in exchange for our common stock at the quoted price of the shares issued at date of issuance or at the fair value of the services rendered, whichever is more readily determinable. All other services provided in exchange for other non-monetary consideration are valued at either the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the consideration relinquished, whichever is more readily determinable.

Our accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”, and formerly EITF 00-18, “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees.” The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance with ASC Topic 505, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor’s balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes. Accordingly, we record the fair value of nonforfeitable common stock issued for future consulting services as prepaid services in our consolidated balance sheet.

Table of Contents

Conventional Convertible Debt

When the convertible feature of the conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). We record a BCF as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20, formerly EITF Issue No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency Adjustable Conversion Ratio,” and formerly EITF Issue No. 00-27, “Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instrument(s).” In those circumstances, the convertible debt will be recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. We amortize the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

Software Development Costs

We account for our software development costs in accordance with ASC Topic 985-20, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, “Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Under ASC Topic 985-20, we expense software development costs as incurred until we determine that the software is technologically feasible. Once we determine that the software is technologically feasible, we amortize the costs capitalized over the expected useful life of the software, which is generally two years.

Goodwill and intangible assets

We account for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other Assets. We are required to review goodwill at least annually for impairment or, more frequently if events and circumstances indicate goodwill might be impaired. We perform our annual review at the end of each fiscal year. We are required to recognize an impairment loss to the extent that our goodwill carrying amount exceeds fair value. Evaluating any impairment to goodwill involves significant management estimates.

Fair Value Measurement

We adopted ASC Topic 820-10, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, at the beginning of fiscal year 2009 to measure the fair value of certain of our financial assets and liabilities required to be measured on a recurring basis. The adoption of Topic 820-10 did not impact our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Topic 820-10 are described below:

Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access. We have no Level 1 assets or liabilities.

We have no Level 2 assets. Our Level 2 liabilities consist of our obligation on the acquisition of certain patents totaling $152,031 and our convertible debt to our president and a company wholly owned by him totaling $364,198. We determine the fair value of these obligations based on the effective yields and maturities of similar obligations.

Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. We have no Level 3 assets or liabilities.

Overview

Single Touch Systems Inc. is a provider of customized easy-to-use wireless solutions. Our patented and patent pending technology simplifies adoption by reaching new data subscribers and generating new revenue streams for carriers, consumer brand companies and retailers.

We have developed and are deploying our scalable messaging and voice based enterprise level solutions. Our technology enables the delivery of mission-critical messaging across multiple communication channels. With gateways that connect directly into the infrastructure of all key mobile-network operators, we guarantee delivery and receipt of massive quantities of messages in real time, to and from any application or platform.

Our solution is designed to drive return on investment for high volume clients and/or customized branded advertisers. Our platform and tools are designed to enable large brands or anyone with substantial reach to utilize the mobile device as a new means to communicate. Communication might be in the form of a reminder message, a coupon, an advertisement or a voice call. Regardless of the form, our platform can drive value and cost savings for companies large and small, and the ability to drive contextually relevant advertising messages to the right audience.

Our business has focused on leveraging our solution in the areas of messaging/notifications and Abbreviated Dial Codes.

Currently, over 90% of our revenues are paid to us through AT&T Services, Inc., and currently the bulk of that revenue comes from notifications sent on behalf of Walmart. We have seen continuing development of revenue beginning in the second quarter of our 2010 fiscal year from our Walmart related programs we had developed with Walmart and AT&T over the prior two year period.

These programs and related services continue to rollout nationwide and we have experienced continuing increase of activity in these programs that have caused our AT&T revenues to grow. We have also noted a pattern of increasing messaging activity over time from locations who have implemented our programs, as locations and users get familiar with the available services offered.

In addition to the current programs, we have received approval to deploy advertisements with our notification messaging programs and are working towards implementation. This development is significant in that our per message revenue increases significantly for each notification that includes an advertisement. This additional revenue element subject to deployment is applicable to existing messaging. Therefore, advertising deployment would benefit from existing traffic and continuing increases in notification messaging volume. We see this as an important next step towards our roadmap of creating consumer and brand awareness and confidence on how to utilize our mobile media platform accessing mobile notifications, advertisements, coupons and commerce transactions all from the mobile phone.

We have a portfolio of intellectual property relevant to our industry related to mobile search, commerce, advertising and streaming media. We have engaged the notable law firm of McKool Smith to protect our patented technology against unauthorized users and infringers. McKool Smith is presently completing its evaluations of industry activities and is preparing to move forward against identified infringers.

Throughout our history our operations have been constrained by our ability to raise funds, and our liquidity has been an ongoing issue. We have received debt and equity investments both from insiders and from private investors. We have always had negative cash flows from operations and net operating losses, although the size of the net operating losses has been magnified by a variety of non-cash accounting charges. As we expand operational activities, we may continue to experience operating losses and/or negative cash flows from operations and may be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations.

Our operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our revenue development is recent and concentrated with a single customer. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in our stage of development. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving business model and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, diversify our customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade technology and products, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Results of Operations

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010

We reported a net loss of $431,788 for the three-months ended March 31, 2011 compared to net income of $683,414 for the three-month period ending March 31, 2010. The net income in 2010 was derived primarily from the $1,981,100 gain that was recognized during the period on the change in fair value of a derivative liability. Since changes in fair value of derivative liability were so significant to our financial statements and the complexities of these accounting requirements can be difficult to understand we believe it should be noted that excluding this gain, we would have incurred a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Our revenues for three month period ended March 31, 2011 were $1,031,585, up 962% from revenues of $107,193 in the same three month period in the prior year. The majority of our income in the three month period was through our contract with AT&T Services, Inc., and currently the bulk of that revenue comes from notifications sent on behalf of Walmart. The revenue increase was related to AT&T programs for Walmart that had not been implemented in that prior comparative period.

Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 after deducted royalties and application costs of $450,790 were $580,795. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 our royalties and application costs of $131,485 exceeded our revenue by $24,292.

Our loss from operations from the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $419,368 compared to $1,099,495 for the same three month period in 2010. Sales volumes related to the programs operating during the prior comparative periods were not sufficient to overcome the high cost of royalties and other operating costs related to these programs. The present AT&T programs for Walmart are at sufficient volumes to overcome the related costs.

Operating expenses for the three months in 2011 totaled $1,000,163 which consisted of research and development costs of $9,533, compensation expense of $326,839, depreciation and amortization expense of $157,294, and general and administrative expenses of $506,497. Included in general and administrative expenses are consulting fees of $154,000, professional fees of $134,247, travel of $81,446, rent of $28,285, and $22,500 that we incurred on the lease of equipment. Operating expenses for the three months in 2010 totaled $1,075,203 which consisted of research and development costs of $36,851, compensation expense of $461,882, depreciation and amortization expense of $147,879, and general and administrative expenses of $428,591. Included in general and administrative expenses are consulting fees of $159,250, professional fees of $97,766, travel of $41,731, rent of $27,675 and $12,000 that we incurred on the lease of equipment and bad debt of $54,084. Thus the overall operating expenses for these comparative periods were similar.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010

We reported a net loss of $5,331,111 for the six-months ended March 31, 2011 compared to a net loss of $2,071,276 for the six-month period ending March 31, 2010. The indicated net losses included stock based compensation in 2011 and 2010 of $3,603,708 and $1,152,625, respectively. Stock based compensation was a substantial component of the net loss of each of the comparative periods, exceeding the sum of all other components of our losses in each of the comparative periods.

Our revenues for the six month period ended March 31, 2011 were $2,045,433 compared to $134,095 in the same six month period in the prior year. The majority of our income in the 2011 six month period was through our contract with AT&T Services, Inc., and currently the bulk of that revenue comes from notifications sent on behalf of Walmart. The revenue increase was related to AT&T programs for Walmart that had not been implemented in that prior comparative period.

Net revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2011, after deducting royalties and application costs of $959,355, is $1,086,078. For the six months ended March 31, 2010 our royalties and application costs of $281,653 exceeded our revenue by $147,558. Our loss from operations for the six months ended March 31, 2011 was $4,652,954 compared to $2,960,351 for the same six month period in 2010.

Operating expenses for the six months in 2011 totaled $5,739,032 which consisted of research and development costs of $32,872, compensation expense of $4,321,237 (including the indicated stock based compensation of $3,603,708), depreciation and amortization expense of $294,580, and general and administrative expenses of $1,090,343. Included in general and administrative expenses are consulting fees of $335,500, professional fees of $388,489, travel of $126,490, rent of $57,989, and $45,000 that we incurred on the lease of equipment. Operating expenses for the six months in 2010 totaled $2,812,793 which consisted of research and development costs of $47,405, stock based compensation to non-employees of $1,152,625, compensation expense of $690,492, depreciation and amortization expense of $265,733, and general and administrative expenses of $656,538. Included in general and administrative expenses are consulting fees of $204,650, professional fees of $180,701, travel of $67,024, rent of $55,349, and $24,000 that we incurred on the lease of equipment and bad debt of $54,084. Stock based compensation was responsible for the majority of the differential between the two comparative periods.

In the first six month period of 2011, we incurred a loss of $651,315 on the settlement of indebtedness, based on the value of shares which we issued to resolve a dispute with a note holder. In the first six month period of 2010, our loss in this category was only $45,580.

Revenue Development

We have seen continuing development of revenue beginning in the second quarter of our 2010 fiscal year from our Walmart related programs developed with Walmart and AT&T. Currently, more than 90% of our revenues are generated with AT&T Services, Inc., from notifications sent on behalf of Walmart.

The wireless industry is dynamic with constant evolution in technological capabilities resulting in a continuous evolution of product services with varying lifecycles. We have functioned in this industry for many years as an innovator and pioneer of many products that have been implemented and phased out as the industry continues to evolve. Our results in prior periods were related to programs that were being or have now been phased out.

The three month period ended June 30, 2010 began the continuing roll outs of the AT&T programs for Walmart. We saw messaging activity related to those programs develop rapidly from nominal testing to several million messages in that period as an initial test rollout was implemented by Walmart to their retail locations.

During the three month period ended September 30, 2010 we saw dramatic increases in revenue over the prior period as a result of an over seven fold increase in messaging activity from an expanded roll out to many more retail locations. During the three month period ended December 31, 2010 we saw revenue increase to $1,011,738, exceeding the entire year revenue for wireless applications of $792,564 for the prior fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2011 we have experienced continuing double digit growth in the messaging activity; although the messaging growth rate is stabilizing as compared to the prior roll out periods.

During this entire three month period we have exceeded total monthly messaging volume thresholds for the top tier pricing. Pricing for messaging levels at this tier minimum and above are at a reduced per message rate. AT&T is also applying the top tier rate retroactively to the lower volume tiers as well.

Future additional messaging growth in the top tier volume thresholds will pace as increased revenue from our AT&T programs for Walmart.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the six-month period ending March 31, 2011 cash used in operating activities totaled $853,212; cash used in investing activities totaled $407,074 of which $292,219 comprised the capitalized internal costs of our software development. Cash used during the same six-month period for financing activities was $506,315 and included $320,000 prepaid on a related party debt and $175,000 was paid on our patent acquisition obligation. We had an overall net decrease in cash for the period of $1,766,601; where the beginning balance for the period was $4,040,169, the cash balance at the end of the period was $2,273,568.

During the six-month period ending March 31, 2010 cash used in operating activities totaled $2,070,998; cash used in investing activities totaled $1,145,956, primarily for capitalized software development costs of $275,359 and for patent and patent application purchase costs of $830,597; cash provided by financing activities totaled $3,576,500 primarily from proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock and a convertible note. We had an overall net increase in cash for the 6 month period of $359,546; the beginning balance for the period was $259,558 and the cash balance at the end of the period was $619,104.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
