DERYCZ SCIENTIFIC, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 (Unaudited)
 
Note 1 — Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
 
(a) Organization
 
Derycz Scientific, Inc. (“Derycz” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 2, 2006. On November 2, 2006 the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Reprints Desk, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed on January 6, 2006 (“Reprints”). Derycz was formed to facilitate a holding company structure. At the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the 550,000 outstanding shares of Reprints from the shareholders of Reprints and issued 8,000,003 of its common shares to the shareholders of Reprints. As the intention behind forming Derycz was the creation of a holding company structure and Derycz had no appreciable assets prior to the acquisition of Reprints, the exchange ratio was determined arbitrarily and was not based on any determination of the value of shares of Derycz common stock as compared to Reprints shares acquired. As each former Reprints shareholder acquired a percentage interest in Derycz equal to the percentage interest such shareholder held in Reprints immediately prior to the transaction, there was no dilution of the interest of any former Reprints shareholder. Following completion of the exchange transaction, Reprints became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was accounted as a statutory merger of companies under common control. As such, the historical financial statements of the Company are combined with the operations of Reprints since its inception, and the merger shares are accounted for as a stock split as of the inception of Reprints for financial reporting purposes.
 
(b) Nature of business
 
Reprints is a content repurposing and rights management company, with a focus on content re-use services and products. The Company operates within the Periodicals Publishing industry which is a large and growing market. The Company has developed products in the following areas:
 
 
Reprints, ePrints and Article Distribution Systems

 
Commercial Printing Services

 
Publisher Outsourced Reprint Management

 
Print-on-Demand Services for copyright and regulatory sensitive documents
 
(c) Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying interim financial statements for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position at December 31, 2008 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. The financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. The consolidated accounts include 100% of assets and liabilities of our majority owned subsidiary, and the ownership interests of minority investors are recorded as a minority interest. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
(a) Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 
7

 
 
(b) Fair value of financial instruments
 
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value for certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. On February 12, 2008, the FASB finalized FASB Staff Position (FSP) No.157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This Staff Position delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years, except for those items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
(c) Short term investments
 
Our short term investments at December 31, 2008 and 2007 consisted of corporate and municipal debt and preferred stock auction rate securities held in an account with UBS. During 2008, several auctions have failed as a result of illiquidity and imbalance in order flow for auction rate securities. A failed auction is not an indication of an increased credit risk or a reduction in the underlying collateral, however, parties wishing to sell securities could not do so. Based on current market conditions, it is not known when or if the capital markets will come back into balance to achieve successful auctions for these securities. If these auctions continue to fail, it could result in our holding securities beyond their next scheduled auction reset dates and will limit the short-term liquidity of these investments. We currently believe these securities are not significantly impaired, primarily due to the collateral underlying these securities and/or the creditworthiness of the issuer.  Furthermore, on September 8, 2008, the Massachusetts Secretary of State announced that UBS has pledged to buy back almost $40 billion worth of bonds that their retail clients have been unable to sell.  As part of the settlement, UBS customers with less than $1 million in auction rate securities were to get their money back by October 31, 2008, while others were to get their refund by January 1, 2009. In January 2009, we received cash for the par value of the outstanding auction rate securities.  In accordance with Statement of Financial Standards No. 115, the Company determined that these investments should be accounted for as trading securities and recorded on the Company’s consolidated financial statements at fair market value, with the unrealized losses amounting to $27,165 at December 31, 2008 reflected as a charge in our statement of operations. The proceeds received in January 2009 exceeded the book value of the investment at December 31, 2008 by approximately $61,000.  The realized gain will be recorded in the third quarter ending March 31, 2009.
 
(d) Concentration of credit risk
 
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and at times may exceed the FDIC $250,000 insurance limit. The Company does not anticipate incurring any losses related to these credit risks. The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, generally without collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and intends to maintain allowances for anticipated losses, as required.
 
Two customers accounted for 18% and 12% of the revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and one customer accounted for 18% of the revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2008.  One customer accounted for 13% of the revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and two customers accounted for 13% and 10% of the revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2007.
 
As of December 31, 2008, two customers accounted for 23% and 11% of accounts receivable and one customer accounted for 38% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2008.
 
(e) Revenue recognition
 
The Company applies the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB No. 104 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) shipment of products has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the sales price charged is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection is reasonably assured.
 
The Company recognizes revenues from printing services when services have been rendered and accepted by the customer while revenues from the re-use of published articles and rights management services are recognized upon shipment or electronic delivery to the customer.

 
8

 
 
(f) Stock based compensation
 
The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006, and is using the modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with EITF 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 EITF No. 00-18 “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees” whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.
 
(g) Shipping and handling costs
 
The Company accounts for shipping and handling fees and costs in accordance with EITF 00-10. As such, the Company includes shipping and handling charges billed to its customers in its revenues, and classifies shipping and handling costs of the sale of its products as a component of cost of sales. Those costs were approximately $31,331 and $51,705, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and $70,599 and $61,800, respectively, for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
 
(h) Net Income (Loss) per share
 
The Company reports net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Weighted average number of shares outstanding reflects the equivalent number of shares received as a result of the exchange transaction as if these shares had been outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (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. Options and warrants to purchase 2,980,000 shares of common stock have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2007 and options and warrants to purchase 3,330,009 shares of common stock have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008 as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
 
(i) Marketing and Advertising expenses
 
Marketing and Advertising expenses are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of various forms of media purchased from Internet-based marketers and search engines. Marketing and advertising expense amounted to $24,425 and $13,738 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively and $38,588 and $17,508, respectively, for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
 
(j) Recently issued accounting pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141(R)”), which establishes accounting principles and disclosure requirements for all transactions in which a company obtains control over another business. FAS 141 (R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require that the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity; the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; and changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently. SFAS No. 160 also requires that any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also sets forth the disclosure requirements to identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 must be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements are applied retrospectively for all periods presented.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 (FAS 161), “Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities * an amendment of FAS 133.” FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the implementation of FAS 161 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. This Statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
The Company does not believe that the adoption of the above recent pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. At December 31, 2008, the Company had federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $660,000 and $463,000, respectively. Federal NOLs could, if unused, expire in 2026. State NOLs, if unused, could expire in 2016.
 
The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets at December 31 and June 30, 2008 to reduce such asset to zero, since there is no assurance that the Company will generate future taxable income to utilize such asset. Management will review this valuation allowance requirement periodically and make adjustments as warranted.
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded an adjustment to reflect a deferred tax liability of $126,611 that arose on the purchase of its 75% owned subsidiary that occurred in February 2007, and should have been recorded at the date of acquisition.  The effect of recording the deferred tax liability at September 30, 2008 was to increase recorded goodwill by $94,958 and to increase minority interest by $31,653 to reflect their share of the liability.
 
The Company analyzed the quantitative and qualitative effect of the adjustment on prior year financial statements and determined that as such adjustment was a reclassification within the balance sheet, that such adjustment did not affect the previously reported net losses for the periods ending June 30, 2008 and 2007, and that such adjustment did not cause the previously issued financial statements to be materially misstated.

 
13

 
 
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”)  —  an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes . ” The Interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. At the date of adoption, and as of December 31 and June 30, 2008, the Company did not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, and no adjustment was required at adoption.
 
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years after 2006.
 
The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. As of December 31 and June 30, 2008, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. Additionally, tax years 2006 through 2008 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 should be read in conjunction with the notes to those financial statements that are included in Item 1 of Part 1 this Quarterly Report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are based on information available to us on the date hereof and, except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
 
Overview
 
Derycz Scientific, Inc. (the “Company” or “Derycz”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 2, 2006. In November 2006 the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Reprints Desk, Inc. (“Reprints”). At the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Reprints from the shareholders of Reprints and issued 8,000,003 of its common shares to the shareholders. Following completion of the exchange transaction, Reprints became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
On February 28, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Pools Press, Inc. (“Pools”) of Northbrook, Illinois, a privately held company, pursuant to which the Company acquired 75% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Pools for consideration of $616,080. Pools is a commercial printer, specializing in reprints of copyrighted articles. The results of Pools Press’ operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since March 1, 2007.  On December 31,2008, the Company acquired an additional 5% interest in Pools for $34,200, increasing the Company’s ownership to 80%.
 
Derycz, through Reprints and Pools, provides copies of published content, such as articles from published journals, in either electronic or hard copy form. Our customers use this content for marketing or research purposes. Generally, marketing departments order large quantities of printed copies that they distribute to their customers. Researchers generally order single copies of the content. Our service alleviates the need for our customers to contact any publisher or obtain permissions themselves. In addition, we ensure that we have obtained the necessary permissions from the owners of the content’s copyrights so that the reproduction complies with copyright laws. We also offer reprints service to publishers, whereby we are responsible for all aspects of reprint production, from taking orders to final shipment. This service eliminates the need for the publishers to establish a dedicated reprints sales force or arrange for delivery of reprinted materials. Pools Press also offers other commercial printing products, such as the production of business cards, and newsletters.
 
Results of Operations
 
Three Months Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to the Three Months Ended December 31, 2007:
 
Sales and Cost of Goods Sold
 
Our revenues increased by approximately 18% from the same period in 2007 and we expect our revenues to continue to increase, as we add new customers. We achieved revenue of $3,426,953 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to revenue of $2,905,489 for the three months ended December 30, 2007, an increase of 18%.
 
The revenue of our main operating company, Reprints, increased from $2,327,455 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to $3,112,603 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of 34%. Pools Press contributed the remainder of the revenue. We expect to continue with revenue growth this year.  However, the economic climate may significantly slow our sales growth if our customers reduce their marketing budgets.

 
15

 
 
Our cost of goods sold likewise increased from $2,404,255 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to $2,671,290 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, which represents an increase of 11%. This percentage increase is somewhat lower than the increase in our revenues. At Reprints, we only purchase articles when they have been requested by our clients. We generally charge a margin over the actual cost to us. We attempt to negotiate discounts with our publishers and have a few such agreements in place. We also have prepaid some publishers for articles in exchange for discounts. At December 31, 2008, we had prepaid $79,168 for royalties that were not yet used. The publishers set the price for each order and do not generally grant significant discounts. We expect that our cost of goods sold will keep pace with our revenue growth, unless additional publisher discounts can be achieved.
 
Operating Expenses
 
General and Administrative
 
Our general and administrative expenses increased 34% from $603,397 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to $810,268 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Pools’ share of these expenses was approximately $50,000 for the 2008 period and $57,000 for the 2007 period. These expenses include Reprints’ salary costs, which were $447,539 in the 2008 period and $283,693 in the 2007 period, an increase of $163,846 or 58%. Our sales and marketing team has increased during the past year and we have added additional employees as needed.  We continue to attempt to contain the expansion of our workforce. However, in order to pursue a large number of sales leads and to continue to develop our computer system, we expect to add a small number of new employees in the near future.  The 2008 figure also includes approximately $22,500 in investor relations expenses incurred in preparation for the public trading of our common stock.
 
Marketing and Advertising
 
Our marketing and advertising expenses increased from $13,738 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to $24,425 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. These costs have increased as we have undertaken targeted publishing adverting campaigns that will likely cost approximately $120,000 over the next year, in addition the cost of our participation in publishing industry trade shows and sponsorship of publishing industry programs.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Our depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately 5% from $63,493 for three months ended December 31, 2007 to $66,826 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Pools’ share of these expenses in the 2008 period included $13,750 related to the amortization of Pools’ customer list. Reprints’ depreciation and amortization expense of $52,874 for the 2008 period was primarily attributable to amortization on software and intellectual property licenses as well as amortization of two customer lists.
 
Other Expenses
 
Other expenses were $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and were $174 for the three months ended December 31, 2008.
 
Loss on marketable securities
 
We recognized unrealized losses on our short-term investments of $9,015 and $0 during the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  These investments consist of corporate and municipal debt and preferred stock auction rate securities held in an account with UBS Financial Services, Inc., and the losses were based on valuations by UBS.   We will continue to monitor the market for these securities to determine if they are properly valued and correctly classified. Based on our expected operating cash flows, and our other sources and uses of cash, we do not anticipate that the potential lack of liquidity on these investments will affect our ability to execute our current business plan.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense was $7,080 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and $15,860 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. The 2008 interest expense is primarily attributable to the interest paid on a credit line secured by the marketable securities owned by the Company.
 
Interest Income
 
Interest income was $33,940 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and $12,302 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. This interest income is primarily attributable to the interest earned on investments in marketable securities.

 
16

 
 
Net Loss
 
We recorded a net loss of $132,177 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to a net loss of $156,578 in the 2007 period. We hope to be modestly profitable in the near future, but as we are still a new business, we do not expect profits to be significant for the next year.
 
Six-Month Period Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Six Month Period Ended December 31, 2007:
 
Sales and Cost of Goods Sold
 
Our revenues increased significantly over the past year and we expect that trend to continue as we add new customers and as the volume from existing customers increases. We achieved revenue of $6,629,679 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to revenue of $5,156,576 for the six months ended December 31, 2007, an increase of 28%.
 
The revenue of our main operating company, Reprints increased from $4,128,647 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to $5,882,002 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of 42%. Pools Press contributed the remainder of the revenue. Our cost of goods sold likewise increased from $4,215,827 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to $5,228,119 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, which represents a 24% increase. This increase is lower as a percentage that the increase in our revenues as a result of the increase in our document delivery service, which has a higher margin than our reprint service.
 
Operating Expenses
 
General and Administrative
 
Our general and administrative expenses increased 55% from $1,021,328 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to $1,581,891 for the six months ended December 31, 2008. Pools’ share of these expenses was approximately $102,000 for the 2008 period and $114,000 for the 2007 period. These expenses include Reprints’ salary costs, which were $853,434 in the 2008 period and $510,890 in the 2007 period, an increase of $342,544 or 67%. These costs have increased at a faster rate than our cost of good sold because we have increased staff to manage the increased volume of our document delivery service, which has a higher margin than our reprint service, but requires more staff to manage the process. The 2008 figure also includes approximately $115,791 in investor relations expenses incurred in preparation for the public trading of our common stock.  This figure includes $43,963, which is the value attributable to the issuance of a warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
Marketing and Advertising
 
Our marketing and advertising expenses increased $21,080 or 120% from $17,508 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to $38,588 for the six months ended December 31, 2008. These costs have not been a significant expense for us, but we expect these costs to increase as our sales efforts increase during the next year
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Our depreciation expense increased 26% from $104,777 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to $131,899 for the six months ended December 31, 2008. Pools’ share of these expenses was $27,902 in the 2008 period and included $27,500 related to the amortization of Pools’ customer list. Reprints’ depreciation expense of $103,997 for the 2008 period was primarily attributable to amortization of customer lists as well as amortization on intellectual property licenses.
 
Other Expenses
 
Other expenses were $1,222 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and were $0 for the six months ended December 31, 2007.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense was $31,100 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and $11,685 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. The 2007 interest expense is primarily attributable to the interest paid on the note payable to the former owner of Pools Press, which we issued at the time of the purchase of our majority interest on February 28, 2007.  The 2008 interest expense is primarily attributable to interest paid on a credit line secured by the marketable securities owned by the Company
 
Interest Income
 
Interest income was 31,760 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and $67,742 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. This interest income is primarily attributable to the interest earned on investments in marketable securities.

Net Loss
 
We recorded a net loss of $152,902 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 compared to a net loss of $364,843 in the 2008 period. Over half of the 2007 net loss was attributable to the grants of stock options to several employees and a consultant which represented a non-cash expense of $86,113. The loss in 2008 is a result of slower than expected sales growth in the second quarter of our 2009 fiscal year as well as increased salary costs that we incurred to manage the increased sales volume that we have experienced.  We hope to be modestly profitable in the near future, but as we are still a new business, we do not expect profits to be significant for the next year.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of December 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,576,897, compared to $954,834 as of June 30, 2008. This increase is primarily attributable to the sale of 400,017 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 200,009 shares of the Company’s common stock on July 17, 2008 for an aggregate purchase price of $600,025.
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $190,849 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 compared to cash used in operating activities of $353,257 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. During the 2007 period, our accounts receivable increased by $763,447 and our accounts payable increased by $178,125, compared to increases of $303,058 and $206,271, respectively, in the 2008 period. Additionally, during the six months ended December 31, 2008, we expensed $157,261 to depreciation and amortization and  used of $246,909 of prepaid royalties. Also during the 2008 period, we issued a common stock warrant for services with a value of $43,963 and we amortized $12,944 for stock options vesting in December 2008. No stock options vested in the 2007 period.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $188,239 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $441,362 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. This difference was primarily due to purchases of intellectual property licenses at Reprints in the 2007 period.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $619,453 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $20,226 for the corresponding period in 2007. The cash provided by financing activities for the 2008 period, the cash was primarily provided by the sale of common stock and warrants in July 2008.
 
We believe that our current cash resources will be sufficient to sustain our current operations for at least one year. While we have not experienced any losses from bad debts, we expect our accounts receivable to increase as a result of significant increases in our sales. We also expect to incur significant investor relations expenses in conjunction with the listing of our common stock. In addition, we may need to obtain additional cash resources during the next year in order to acquire complementary businesses. The need for cash to finance acquisitions will depend on the businesses acquired and we cannot predict those needs with any certainty. In the event such funds are needed, we may engage in additional sales of debt or equity securities. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities would result in additional dilution to our shareholders. The issuance of additional debt would result in increased expenses and could subject us to covenants that may have the effect of restricting our operations. We have not made arrangements to obtain additional financing and we can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available in an amount or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
 
Our short-term investments consist of corporate and municipal debt and preferred stock auction rate securities held in an account with UBS. Recently, several auctions have failed as a result of illiquidity and imbalance in order flow for auction rate securities. A failed auction is not an indication of an increased credit risk or a reduction in the underlying collateral, however, parties wishing to sell securities could not do so. Based on current market conditions, it is not known when or if the capital markets will come back into balance to achieve successful auctions for these securities. If these auctions continue to fail, it could result in our holding securities beyond their next scheduled auction reset dates and will limit the short-term liquidity of these investments. We currently believe these securities are not significantly impaired, primarily due to the collateral underlying these securities and/or the creditworthiness of the issuer. Furthermore, on September 8, 2008, the Massachusetts Secretary of State announced that UBS has pledged to buy back almost $40 billion worth of bonds that their retail clients have been unable to sell. As part of the settlement, UBS customers with less than $1 million in auction rate securities will get their money back by October 31, 2008 while others will get their refund by January 1, 2009. The Company received a payment from UBS in January 2009 for the par value of these securities. The proceeds received in January 2009 exceeded the book value of the investment at December 31, 2008 by approximately $61,000.  The realized gain will be recorded in the third quarter ending March 31, 2009.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

An evaluation was performed under the supervision of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as required under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of whether any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
