Net Sales
For the nine months ended September 30 2009, the Company had $230,436 in sales compared to $547,122 for the corresponding period in 2008. The decrease in sales resulted from a decrease in VoIP telephony sales from the Company's subsidiary, TekVoice Inc.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $116,934 in the six months ending September 30, 2009 compared to a gross profit of $92,766 in the nine month period ending September 30, 2008. This represents an increase in gross profit for the period of $24,168.

The reduced loss was primarily due to a reduction in bad debt expense in the nine month period ending September 30 2009.
Interest and other expenses
The Company had no material interest expenses.
The Company had current assets including cash on hand of $62,117as at September 30, 2009. The Company also had a net loss of $608,238 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
The Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,490,047 at September 30 2009. Management of the Company has determined that the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital and achieving increased sales of its TekVoice, Electronic Transaction and SchoolWeb / HealthWeb products.
Management can give no assurance that any increase in sales will occur in the future and if they do occur, may not be enough to cover the Company's operating expenses or any other costs. Should this be the case, we would be forced, unless sufficient working capital can be raised, to suspend operations and possibly liquidate the assets and wind up and dissolve the Company.
RISK FACTORS
The Company is exposed to a number of risks, including the following:
º The Company may be unable to market and sell its software and sales of its
telecommunications products could decline;
º The Company has a history of operating its software business at a
significant loss;
º The Company requires additional equity financing to continue operations and
may be unable to obtain this financing;
º If further equity financing is obtained, it will dilute the value of
existing shareholders' stock;
º The Company has limited working capital with which to continue operations;
º The telecom and software industries are extremely competitive and the
Company faces competition from more established distributors and producers
with greater financial resources and established sales and distribution
capabilities;
º The Company has a significant number of shares outstanding which may be
eligible for resale under Rule 144 and which, if sold, could depress the
market price of the Company's shares;
º The profit margins in the telecom industry have been steadily eroding such
that, even if it is able to make sales for its products, the Company may be
unable to do so at a profitable margin.
º We have had negative cash flows from operations. If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable to us, we may be unable to continue our business and as a result may be required to scale back or cease operations for our business, the result of which would be that our stockholders would lose some or all of their investment. To date we have had negative cash flows from operations and we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash .We do not expect positive cash flow from operations in the near term and there is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates, or that our sales projections will be realized as estimated. The occurrence of any of the aforementioned events could adversely affect our ability to meet our business plans.
º A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations. A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because our operations have been primarily financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our continued operations. Any reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and would have a negative effect on our business plans and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.
º We have a history of losses and fluctuating operating results. There is no assurance that we will operate profitably or will generate positive cash flow in the future. In addition, our operating results in the future may be subject to significant fluctuations due to many factors not within our control, such as the unpredictability of when customers will purchase our products and/or services, the size of customers' purchases, the demand for our production and/or services, and the level of competition and general economic conditions. If we cannot generate positive cash flows in the future, or raise sufficient financing to continue our normal operations, then we may be forced to scale down or even close our operations.
º We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to grow our business, then we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing business operations. We have limited history of revenues from operations and have limited significant tangible assets. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Our company has a limited operating history and must be considered in the development stage. Our company's operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We are in the development stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by enterprises in the development stage. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment in our company.
º The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock. In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
º Trading in our common shares on the OTC Bulletin Board is limited and sporadic making it difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares or liquidate their investments. Our common shares are currently listed for public trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. The trading price of our common shares has been subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of our common shares may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with no current business operation. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common shares will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management's attention and resources.
º Because of the early stage of development and the nature of our business, our securities are considered highly speculative. Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the nature of our business and the early stage of its development.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities". The standard requires companies to provide additional information that will help investors and other users of financial statements to more easily understand the effect of the company's choice to use fair value on its earnings. It also requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. The new Statement does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements included in FASB Statements No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements", and No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments". This standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's reported financial position or results of operations.
