PART I



ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
GENERAL
 
IceWEB, Inc., a Delaware corporation (IWEB or the Company) is a storage technology company headquartered in Sterling, Virginia.
 
BUSINESS OF ICEWEB
 
The Company was originally founded to serve the commercial and federal markets with network security products and proprietary on-line software solutions.  In 2008, the Company narrowed its focus and expanded its capabilities by acquiring INLINE Corporation, a data storage company specializing in custom designed, short-production run storage solutions for the Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) market.
 
Therefore, for 2009, the Company has three lines of business: Storage & GIS products, IT solutions and Online services.  The Company plans to grow its revenues and profits in both the Storage and solutions businesses while maintaining its position in the online market.
 
Storage & GIS Products.   These products simplify how enterprises retain, access, manage and protect their data.   Demand for data storage is ever-growing and ubiquitous as data files in all market sectors have become larger and richer with video and multimedia content.  This growth is particularly strong in the already billion dollar GIS market that is projected to grow ten-fold over the next decade.   Therefore, IceWEB’s strategic direction is to grow its share and profits in this market based upon its own proprietary designs and its strategic relationships with its GIS software OEMs such as ESRI, the world-wide leader in GIS application software.
 
IceWEB and ESRI have collaborated to create ultra-high performance INLINE/ESRI GIS systems that allow customers to analyze data in ways never before possible.  IceWEB designs, manufactures and, in concert with its OEM partners, markets these systems to organizations all over the world.
 
In addition to the Company’s line of hardware/software storage products, customers can choose from a broad range of warranty and service programs.  INLINE products range from storage servers, to NAS (Network Attached Storage) and SAN (Storage Area Network) solutions.  OEM/Custom products are focused on the GIS markets.

IT Solutions.  IceWEB provides IT network infrastructure security solutions to government and commercial organizations.  The products come from the Company’s strategic partners which include RSA Security, ISS, Blue Coat, F5 Networks, McAfee and Cisco.  IceWEB will continue to invest in this business in 2009.  Solutions include:
 
Security information management, firewall implementation, management and monitoring
Intrusion detection, intrusion, prevention, anti-virus, anti-spam
Wide area network optimization, user authentication, remote access control
 
Online Services.  In December 2005, IceWEB launched IceMAILTM a packaged software service that provides network –hosted groupware, email, calendaring and collaboration functionality.  Customers are organizations wishing to use Microsoft Exchange and Outlook without having to procure, maintain and manage their own equipment and software.   Online services were subsequently expanded to include IcePORTALTM which provides customers with a complete Intranet portal and IceSECURETM a hosted email encryption service.  These products continue to provide predictable monthly revenues for the Company; however the Company has no plans to make new investments in this business in 2009.

Customers. GIS applications allow customers to acquire, view, understand, interpret and visualize data in ways that reveal relationships, patterns and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports and charts.  IceWEB’s core GIS focus is complimented by its network infrastructure security solutions which are offered in partnership with a wide range of OEM technology leaders.   OEM customers include ESRI, Highwinds Solutions, Stryker Imaging and SAIC.
 
Commercial customers include enterprise companies, small to medium sized businesses (SMB) and OEM partners.  IceWEB serves Federal Government markets through GSA, GWAC and BPA agreements with customers in the US Departments of Defense (DOD), Homeland Security (DoHS), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
 
Customer Support and Service.  Quality and responsive customer support services can turn first-time customers into perpetual customers.  These services can also provide the Company with an ever-growing, predictable revenue stream.
 
All INLINE products are sold with the Company’s ‘Bronze’ warranty which includes telephone technical support during normal business hours and parts repair or replacement when returned to factory.  ‘Silver’ coverage supplements ‘Bronze’ by providing next business day shipment for any user replaceable parts falling under warranty.
 
‘Gold’ coverage provides U.S. customers with a special toll-free number for technical support.  In addition these customers receive, when necessary, on-site assistance during 9 to 5 during the normal work week.  ‘Platinum’ services receive all other services plus the added protection of on-site service with 4 hour response.
 
In addition, the Company provides factory-authorized services for ESRI customers.   For customers with sensitive or classified data such as the Department of Defense, the Company keeps magnetic hard drive platters ready for mailing in event of failure in the field (these customers cannot return defective hard drives due to security reasons).
 
Sales & Marketing. IceWEB storage and GIS products are sold to end users via the Company’s own direct sales force and by its OEM partner sales organization.  These OEMs help market and sell our products with the assistance of our sales force.  Our marketing efforts increase brand awareness and uncover qualified prospects for our direct sales force.  Marketing includes tradeshows, advertising, public relations and Internet.
 
Research and Development.  Continued investment in product research and development is critical to the Company’s business.  The Company has skilled engineers with extensive experience in the fields of computing, storage, distributed systems, network system design, and GIS applications.  R&D is conducted at the Company’s headquarters in Dulles, VA.
 
Manufacturing is conducted at Company headquarters in Dulles, VA.  In addition the Company utilizes Xyratex Technology Limited for the assembly, quality control, packaging and shipping for some of its products.  Xyratex procures the majority of the components for suppliers pre-qualified by IceWEB.   Xyratex and IceWEB collaborate to ensure that third-party suppliers can provide sufficient components to satisfy product delivery schedules. All final test procedures conducted by Xyratex are approved by IceWEB and finished products samples are inspected and tested by IceWEB to ensure that all finished goods meet IceWEB’s rigorous quality standards.
 
Competition.   The market for IceWEB storage is highly competitive and likely to become even more competitive in the future. Established companies have historically dominated the storage market, including EMC, Network Appliance, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems, Hitachi Data Systems and IBM.
 
In addition there is additional competition from smaller companies such as Compellent Technologies and LeftHand Networks. In the future, new competitors will emerge as well as increased competition, both domestically and internationally, from other established storage companies.  The principal competitive market factors are:
 
Industry credibility.
 
Product scalability, performance and reliability
 
Ease of installation and management;
 
Software functionality;
 
Total cost of ownership;
 
Customer support
 
Market presence
 
IceWEB competes effectively across all of these factors. In particular, the Company’s product architecture provides significant competitive advantages in terms of performance, scalability, ease of management and low total cost of ownership.  OEM partners provide the Company with a significant number of reference accounts which address credibility and helps marketing to new customers.
 
Many of the competitors have longer operating histories, better name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources than we have. Competitors may also be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, sale and support of their products. Competitors may also have more extensive customer bases and broader customer relationships than the Company including relationships with potential IceWEB customers.

Intellectual Property
 
Success in the Company’s technological markets depends, in part, upon the Company’s ability to obtain and maintain proprietary protection for its products, technology and know-how.  This must be accomplished without infringing the proprietary rights of others and while simultaneously preventing others from infringing upon the Company’s own proprietary rights.
 
IceWEB seeks to protect its proprietary positions by, among other methods, filing patent applications. Patent efforts are focused in the United States and, when justified by cost and strategic importance, we file related foreign patent applications in jurisdictions such as the European Union and Japan. As of September 30, 2008, we had applied for three provisional U.S. patents.
 
Pending patent applications relate to the rapid ingestion of massive amounts of video and other data and other network storage concepts.  It is unknown if any of the patent applications will issue as patents.  The patent applications may be opposed, contested, circumvented, designed around by a third party, or found to be invalid or unenforceable.
 
Copyright law, trademarks and trade secret agreements are also used to protect and maintain proprietary positions.   The Company’s proprietary information is protected by internal and external controls, including contractual agreements with employees, end-users and channel partners. There is no assurance that these parties will abide by the terms of their agreements.
 
Trademarks are used on some of the IceWEB products and these distinctive marks may be an important factor in marketing the products.  Inline® and Inline logo trademarks have been registered in the United States.
 

Our History
 We were originally formed under the laws of the State of Delaware in February 1969. For many years, we were a wholesaler of custom one, two, three and four-color processed commercial printing, as well as disposable and durable office equipment including stock paper, fax paper, fax and copy machines, computers, file cabinets and safes. We conducted our business throughout the United States of America and Puerto Rico from our headquarters in New York.

In March 1999, we changed the focus of our business and closed a transaction by which we acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of North Orlando Sports Promotions, Inc., a privately held Florida corporation. From 1999 until July 2001, we operated a variety of Internet-related services, however, we were unable to generate positive cash flow from these Internet-related businesses.

In May 2001, we executed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Stock Purchase Agreement with Disease S.I., Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Disease S.I., Inc. in exchange for 750,000 shares of our common stock. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method for business combinations. Accordingly, the combination of the two companies was recorded as a recapitalization of Disease S.I., Inc., pursuant to which Disease S.I., Inc. was treated as the continuing entity. Disease S.I., Inc. was a developmental stage biopharmaceutical clinical diagnostics company planning to employ a broad array of technologies to detect, identify and quantify substances in blood or other bodily fluids and tissues. It intended to derive revenues from patent sub-licensing fees, royalties from pharmaceutical sales, appropriate milestone payments and research and development contracts.

Following completion of the acquisition of Disease S.I., Inc., it became apparent to us that it would be in our best long-term interest that the Internet operations be conducted apart from the biopharmaceutical clinical diagnostics operations. On July 24, 2001, we sold a former officer and director 100% of our subsidiary North Orlando Sports Promotions, Inc., in exchange for the assumption of all liabilities related to North Orlando Sports Promotions, Inc. and its operations estimated at approximately $112,000, and which included the forgiveness of $91,500 in accrued compensation. Included in the sale along with the capital stock of North Orlando Sports Promotions, Inc. were fixed assets, rights to several domain names and various contractual rights and obligations.

On November 27, 2001, we acquired 9,050,833 shares of the common stock of Healthspan Sciences, Inc., a privately held California corporation in exchange for 5,000 shares of our common stock in a private transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on Section 4(2) of that act. This agreement was rescinded on March 21, 2002. Pursuant to the rescission, Healthspan Sciences, Inc. returned all 5,000 shares of our common stock issued in the exchange and we returned all 9,050,833 shares of Healthspan Sciences, Inc. which we had received.

On March 21, 2002, we executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger with IceWEB Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its stockholders. Founded in 2000, IceWEB Communications, Inc. enabled interactive communications and education on the web. In June 2001, it had acquired the assets in bankruptcy of Learning Stream, Inc., a provider of streaming services. Pursuant to the agreement, each of the 22,720,500 shares of common stock of IceWEB Communications, Inc. issued and outstanding immediately prior to the merger were converted into the right to receive 0.13375 shares of our common stock, for an aggregate of 303,888 shares of common stock. Each of the warrants to purchase an aggregate of 680,125 shares of IceWEB Communications, Inc. common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the merger were converted into the right to receive one warrant to purchase 0.13375 shares of our common stock upon exercise of said warrant.

In June 2003, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Interlan Communications, Inc., a privately held corporation, in exchange for 25,000 shares of our common stock. In June 2003, we also acquired 100% of the capital stock of Seven Corporation in exchange for 37,500 shares of our common stock and cash consideration of $123,000. As described later in this section, we sold Seven Corporation company in February 2007.

In October 2003, we acquired 19% of the capital stock of Iplicity, Inc. of Virginia, together with substantially all of its assets including software licenses, source code, potential patents and trademarks for a combined stock and cash value of approximately $632,000 which included the issuance of 191,381 shares of our common stock and cash consideration of $65,500.

In May 2004, we acquired substantially all of the assets of DevElements, Inc. of Virginia, including software licenses, source code, potential patents and trademarks, cash, hardware, and equipment. As consideration for the purchase of the assets, we paid DevElements $100,000 and agreed to the assumption of liabilities up to an aggregate of $150,000. In exchange for the 19% interest in DevElements, we issued to the stockholders of DevElements 187,500 shares of our common stock and options to purchase 187,500 shares of common stock exercisable at a price of $27.20 per share and expiring May 13, 2009. We issued to the stockholders options to purchase 6,250 shares, which were contingently exercisable upon the satisfaction of certain performance criteria. The performance criteria, which required contracts, task orders and other work assignments involving billing of at least $840,000 during the six-month period ending November 13, 2004, was not met and the options were cancelled.

On October 18, 2004, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Plan Graphics, Inc. The transaction was subject to approval by the Plan Graphics, Inc. stockholders, and certain terms and conditions, including terms and conditions which are customary to this type of transaction. On April 29, 2005 the letter of intent expired without a definitive agreement having been executed or all conditions precedent to the closing having been completed.

In March 2006 we acquired PatriotNet, Inc., an Internet service provider, for total consideration of $290,000 of which $190,000 was paid in cash and $100,000 was paid through the issuance of 100,000 shares of our common stock. We granted Patriot Computer Group, Inc., the seller in the transaction, certain piggyback registration rights for the 100,000 shares of our common stock issued as partial consideration in the transaction. At the time of the acquisition, the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the assets acquired by $390,600 which we treated as goodwill for accounting purposes. From the date of acquisition through September 30, 2007 revenues from PatriotNet were approximately $316,000 and represented approximately 6% of our consolidated revenues. On December 1, 2006 we sold PatriotNet to Leros Online, Inc., a third party, for $150,000 in cash and the assumption of $60,000 in liabilities. At September 30, 2007 we recorded goodwill impairment of $180,000 related to this transaction.

On December 1, 2006 we sold 100% of the capital stock of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Integrated Power Solutions, Inc. to Mr. John Younts, our Vice President of Integrated Power Solutions and a key employee, for the assumption of approximately $180,000 in liabilities and the payment of $12,000 we owed him. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, revenues for Integrated Power Solutions were approximately $457,000, or approximately, 9.5%, of our total sales.

On November 15, 2006, we acquired certain of the assets of True North Solutions related to its governmental customer business for $350,000 of which $250,000 was paid in cash and the balance was paid through the delivery of a $100,000 principal amount promissory note secured by collateral pledge of the assets, payable immediately upon accomplishment of the novation of the GSA Schedule. Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired the customers, forecast, contract renewals, and GSA schedule of True North Solutions. We permitted True North Solutions to use the purchased assets until December 31, 2006 pursuant to which we acted as the seller’s subcontractor until the novation of the GSA Schedule was complete. The novation of the GSA schedule was completed in March, 2008.

On February 16, 2007 we sold 100% of the outstanding stock of our subsidiary, The Seven Corporation of Virginia, Inc., to PC NET in exchange for the waiver of approximately $11,000 we owed PC NET. Under the terms of the agreement we may not engage in any staffing services businesses as The Seven Corporation had conducted for a period of at least two years. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 revenues from The Seven Corporation were $360,000 or approximately 7.5%, of our total sales.

On December 22, 2007, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Inline for $1,925,128 in cash, plus 503,356 shares of IceWEB common stock valued at $276,846, the fair market value on the date of acquisition. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations are included in the financial statements of operations from the date of acquisition. Inline is a leading provider of intelligent enterprise data storage solutions and services for the geospatial intelligence marketplace.  Inline’s proprietary products include reliable, high performance Storage Area Network Solutions, Network Attached Storage, and Direct Attached Storage and the rapidly expanding OEM Storage Centric Appliances. Today, Inline has developed its fifth generation of advanced data storage solutions, marketed under the brands TruEnterprise and FileStorm. All Inline systems function in a heterogeneous operating system environment, including Windows, UNIX and Linux. The purchase of Inline Corporation included the acquisition of assets of $2,688,795, and liabilities of $614,668.


RISK FACTORS

WE HAVE AN ACCUMULATED DEFICIT AND WE ANTICIPATE CONTINUING LOSSES THAT WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW PROBLEMS ABSENT A MATERIAL INCREASE IN OUR REVENUES.

We have an accumulated deficit of $20,131,957 at September 30, 2008.  For the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of approximately $6,410,793 and approximately $2,850,123, respectively, and cash provided by/(used) in operations was approximately $862,691 and ($1,245,512), respectively. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 contains a qualification expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our net losses and cash used in operations. We reported a decrease in our revenues for fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007 of approximately 13% which is primarily related to a drop in our IceWEB Solutions Group.  We cannot assure you that our revenues will increase in future periods, nor can we assure you that they will not decrease. As long as our cash flow from operations remains insufficient to fund our operations, we will continue depleting our cash and other financial resources. Our failure to achieve profitable operations in future periods will adversely affect our ability to continue as a going concern. In this event, you could lose all of your investment in our company.

WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING WHICH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS. IF WE CANNOT RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL AS NEEDED, OUR ABILITY TO EXECUTE OUR GROWTH STRATEGY AND FUND OUR ONGOING OPERATIONS WILL BE IN JEOPARDY.

Historically, our operations have been financed primarily through the issuance of equity and short-term loans. Capital is typically needed not only to fund our ongoing operations and to pay our existing obligations, but capital is also necessary if we wish to acquire additional assets or companies and for the effective integration, operation and expansion of these businesses. Our future capital requirements, however, depend on a number of factors, including our ability to internally grow our revenues, manage our business and control our expenses. At September 30, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of $5,572,671 as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,981,325 at September 30, 2007.  This change is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Inline Corporation and our financing arrangement with Sand Hill Finance to factor accounts receivable. We will need to raise additional capital to fund our ongoing operations, pay our existing obligations and for future growth of our company. We cannot assure you that additional working capital is available to us in the future upon terms acceptable to us. If we do not raise funds as needed, our ability to provide for current working capital needs, make additional acquisitions, grow our company, and continue our existing business and operations is in jeopardy. In this event, you could lose all of your investment in our company.

FROM TIME TO TIME WE ENTER INTO RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS, THE TERMS OF WHICH MAY NOT BE AS ADVANTAGEOUS AS WE COULD OBTAIN FROM UNRELATED THIRD PARTIES.

From time to time we have borrowed operating funds from related parties, including from Bluepoint Financial, LLC, a company of which Mr. John Signorello, our Chief Executive Officer, is a 50% owner.  In lieu of interest we agreed to issue 1.54 shares of common stock for each dollar lent under the loan. During fiscal 2006 we borrowed approximately $335,000 under this loan agreement, repaid approximately $157,000 and issued shares valued at $296,608 as interest.  During fiscal 2007, we borrowed approximately $30,000 under this loan agreement, repaid approximately $308,080 and issued shares valued at $169,803 as interest. The value of the securities we have issued as interest far exceeds generally available commercial interest rates. While the transaction was approved by our Board of Directors, of which Mr. Signorello is a member, there are no assurances that we could not have obtained more favorable terms from third party lenders.

WHILE THE SHARES OF OUR SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK IS OUTSTANDING WE ARE PROHIBITED FROM ENTERING INTO CERTAIN TYPES OF EQUITY AND DEBT TRANSACTIONS WHICH MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO RAISE WORKING CAPITAL AS NEEDED.

Under the terms of our sale of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in December 2005, we agreed to a number of limitations on our future capital raising activities, including:
 
 
for a period of three years we will not issue any convertible debt or preferred stock, for a period of two years we will not enter into any new borrowings of more than twice as much as the sum of EBITDA (earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization) from recurring operations over the past four quarters,
 
 
for so long as the shares are outstanding we will not issue any debt or equity securities with a floating conversion price or reset feature, and
 
 
for so long as the shares are outstanding we cannot issue any common stock or securities which are convertible into common stock at an effective price per share less than the conversion value of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which is initially $0.2727 per share.

These restrictions are likely to adversely affect our ability to raise working capital as needed in future periods as the types of financing transactions generally available to us and other comparably-sized public companies often involve the sale of a convertible security with a reset feature, or the sale of common stock at a discount to market.

OUR FACTORING AGREEMENT WITH SAND HILL FINANCE, LLC CONTAINS CERTAIN TERMS WHICH MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO RAISE CAPITAL IN FUTURE PERIODS.

In December 2005 and as amended during fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2008, we entered into a Finance Agreement with Sand Hill Finance, LLC for a $2.75 million accounts receivable factoring line. Under the terms of this agreement we agreed not to take certain actions including undertaking a transaction which would result in a change of control of our company or the transfer of more than 20% of our securities and incurring any indebtedness other than trade credit in the ordinary course of business. These restrictions may limit our ability to raise working capital as needed.

OUR PRIMARY ASSETS SERVE AS COLLATERAL UNDER OUR ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FACTORING LINE. IF WE WERE TO DEFAULT ON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LENDER COULD FORECLOSE ON OUR ASSETS.

The revolving line with Sand Hill Finance, LLC is collateralized by a blanket security interest in our assets. If we should default under the terms of this agreement, the lender could seek to foreclose on our primary assets. If the lender was successful, we would be unable to conduct our business as it is presently conducted and our ability to generate revenues and fund our ongoing operations would be materially adversely affected.

WE ARE A PARTY TO A SALES/LEASBACK AGREEMENT. IF THE LESSOR SHOULD DECLARE US IN DEFAULT UNDER THE AGREEMENT, WE COULD BE FORCED TO PAY ALL AMOUNTS OWED THEREUNDER OR LOSE THE BENEFIT OF THE EQUIPMENT.

In July 2006, we entered into what is in essence a sale and leaseback agreement with respect to certain computer and office equipment. We received gross proceeds of $300,000 from the sale of the equipment to a third party. As part of the same transaction, we entered into a 36 month agreement to lease the equipment back from the third party for monthly rent payments of $10,398. Imputed interest on this financing is 20% per annum. At September 30, 2008, the amount due under this equipment financing arrangement amounted to $91,807. The equipment which is subject to this arrangement is material in the operation of our business. From time to time we have failed to make the monthly payments due under this agreement on a timely basis. Should the lessor declare us in default, it would be entitled to accelerate all amounts due under the agreement which is approximately $100,000 at September 30, 2008. If we were unable to satisfy such amount, the lessor could retake the equipment thereby depriving us of its use which could materially affect our business and operations.

WE DO NOT HAVE A DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN AND WE DO NOT CARRY BUSINESS INTERRUPTION INSURANCE.

Our systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, break-ins and similar events. Our headquarters are physically located in Fairfax County, Virginia, a Washington, DC suburb, in close proximity to the US Capitol, White House, Pentagon, CIA, and numerous other agencies within the intelligence community. All these government installations are considered potential targets of any future terrorist attacks. We do not currently have a disaster recovery plan, nor do we carry business interruption insurance to compensate our company for losses that may occur. We are also vulnerable to computer viruses and/or physical disruptions, which could lead to interruptions, delays, loss of data or the inability to accept orders. The occurrence of any of the foregoing events could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

OUR MANAGEMENT MAY BE UNABLE TO EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATE OUR ACQUISITIONS AND TO MANAGE OUR GROWTH AND WE MAY BE UNABLE TO FULLY REALIZE ANY ANTICIPATED BENEFITS OF THESE ACQUISITIONS.

Our business strategy includes growth through acquisition and internal development. We are subject to various risks associated with our growth strategy, including the risk that we will be unable to identify and recruit suitable acquisition candidates in the future or to integrate and manage the acquired companies. Acquired companies’ histories, geographical locations, business models and business cultures can be different from ours in many respects. Our directors and senior management face a significant challenge in their efforts to integrate our businesses and the business of the acquired companies or assets, and to effectively manage our continued growth. There can be no assurance that our efforts to integrate the operations of any acquired assets or companies acquired in the future will be successful, that we can manage our growth or that the anticipated benefits of these proposed acquisitions will be fully realized. The dedication of management resources to these efforts may detract attention from our day-to-day business. There can be no assurance that there will not be substantial costs associated with these activities or of the success of our integration efforts, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

WE HAVE NOT VOLUNTARILY IMPLEMENTED VARIOUS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MEASURES, IN THE ABSENCE OF WHICH, STOCKHOLDERS MAY HAVE MORE LIMITED PROTECTIONS AGAINST INTERESTED DIRECTOR TRANSACTIONS, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND SIMILAR MATTERS.

Recent Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or The Nasdaq Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors’ independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. Because our stock is not listed on an exchange we are not required to adopt these corporate governance standards. While our board of directors has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and our Board has established Audit and Compensation Committees, we have not adopted all of the corporate governance measures which we might otherwise have been required to adopt if our securities were listed on a national securities exchange. It is possible that if we were to adopt all of these corporate governance measures, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.

THE EXERCISE OF WARRANTS AND OPTIONS AND THE CONVERSION OF SHARES OF OUR SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK WILL BE DILUTIVE TO OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.

At September 30, 2008 we had outstanding:
 
 
24,688,088 shares of our common stock,
 
 
1,253,334 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which is convertible into 1,253,334 shares of our common stock,
 
 
common stock purchase warrants to purchase a total of 300,000 shares of our common stock with exercise prices ranging from $0.65 to $8.00 per share, and
 
 
options granted under our 2000 Management and Director Equity Incentive and Compensation Plan which are exercisable into 6,583,827 shares of our common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $0.44 per share.

 
10

 

The conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and/or the exercise of outstanding options and warrants may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock and will have a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.

CERTAIN OF OUR OUTSTANDING WARRANTS CONTAIN CASHLESS EXERCISE PROVISIONS WHICH MEANS WE WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY CASH PROCEEDS UPON THEIR EXERCISE.

In March 2005 and December 2005, we issued common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,925,000 shares of our common stock with exercise prices ranging from $2.00 to $9.60 per share in connection with the sales of shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The exercise price of each these warrants was subsequently amended to be $1.00 per share. In April, 2008, 5,150,000 of these warrants were converted into 2,525,000 shares of common stock on a cashless basis.  At September 30, 2008, none of these warrants remain outstanding. In December 2005, we also issued a seven year common stock purchase warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share in connection with our accounts receivable financing agreement with Sand Hill Finance, LLC.

All of these five-year warrants were exercisable on a cashless basis which means that the holders, rather than paying the exercise price in cash, may surrender a number of warrants equal to the exercise price of the warrants being exercised. The utilization of this cashless exercise feature deprived us of additional capital which might otherwise be obtained if the warrants did not contain a cashless feature.

PROVISIONS OF OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS MAY DELAY OR PREVENT A TAKE-OVER WHICH MAY NOT BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF OUR STOCKHOLDERS.

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our stockholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt. In addition, certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporations Law also may be deemed to have certain anti-takeover effects which include that control of shares acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds will not possess any voting rights unless these voting rights are approved by a majority of a corporation’s disinterested stockholders.

In addition, our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. We presently have outstanding 1,253,334 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.  Our Board of Directors may, without stockholder approval, issue additional series of preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock.

OUR COMMON STOCK COULD BE REMOVED FROM QUOTATION ON THE OTCBB IF WE FAIL TO TIMELY FILE OUR ANNUAL OR QUARTERLY REPORTS. IF OUR COMMON STOCK WAS NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR QUOTATION ON THE OTCBB, THE LIQUIDITY OF OUR STOCK MAY BE FURTHER ADVERSELY IMPACTED.

Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission we are required to file our quarterly reports within 45 days from the end of the fiscal quarter and our annual report within 90 days from the end of our fiscal year. Under rules adopted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in 2005 which is informally known as the “Three Strikes Rule”, a FINRA member is prohibited from quoting securities of an OTCBB issuer such as our company if the issuer either fails to timely file these reports or is otherwise delinquent in the filing requirements three times in the prior two year period or if the issuer’s common stock has been removed from quotation on the OTCBB twice in that two year period. We failed to file this annual report on a timely basis. If we were to fail to file two additional reports on a timely basis our stock would be removed from quotation on the OTCBB and would in all likelihood then be quoted on the Pink Sheets Electronic Quotation Service. Pink Sheets offers a quotation service to companies that are unable to list their securities on the OTCBB or an exchange. The requirements for listing on the Pink Sheets are considerably lower and less regulated than those of the OTCBB an exchange. If our common stock were to be quoted on the Pink Sheets, it is possible that even fewer brokers or dealers would be interested in making a market in our common stock which would further adversely impact its liquidity.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

In December 2007, we entered into a seven year lease for approximately 9,000 square feet of office space located in the same building in which our principal executive offices are located. This new lease provides for annual base rental of approximately $148,000.  We are also responsible for our pro rata share of certain pass through costs. We have the option to renew this lease for one additional five year term and we have a right of first refusal to lease as additional approximately 7,200 square feet of adjoining office space should it become available.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    The Company is a party to litigation which arises primarily in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of such litigation should not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
 

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

None.

Dividend Policy

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. Under Delaware law, we may declare and pay dividends on our capital stock either out of our surplus, as defined in the relevant Delaware statutes, or if there is no such surplus, out of our net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. If, however, the capital of our company, computed in accordance with the relevant Delaware statutes, has been diminished by depreciation in the value of our property, or by losses, or otherwise, to an amount less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets, we are prohibited from declaring and paying out of such net profits any dividends upon any shares of our capital stock until the deficiency in the amount of capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets shall have been repaired.

We do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be declared or paid on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

On June 6, 2008 we sold 400,000 shares of common stock at a per share price of $0.20, valued at $80,000 to an accredited investor and the issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on an exemption provided by Section 4(2) of that act.

Small Business Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

None.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

OVERVIEW

IceWEB, through our Inline Corporation subsidiary is a leading provider of high-performance storage products that simplify the way enterprises retain, access, manage and protect their data.  Our products are designed specifically for mid-sized enterprises that have complex storage needs but cannot justify the high procurement and ongoing management costs of other storage area network, or SAN, alternatives.  Our products are offered in an integrated, all-inclusive package that combines resilient disk storage with a comprehensive suite of intelligent storage management software.

In addition, IceWEB’s Solutions Group specializes in network infrastructure security solutions. Through our team of engineers and our partners, including RSA Security, ISS, F5 Networks, Blue Coat, and Cisco, we provide firewall, authentication, PKI, encryption, and traffic filtering products and services to protect network infrastructure. Our customers are primarily Federal, State, and Local government entities. We believe that the combination of our vendor partners/manufacturers, customers, and government contracting vehicles enables our company to be successful in providing the industry’s best network security solutions to government clients and those commercial integrators who service the government. We further believe that we can, through IceWEB Solutions group, position, market, and sell our high margin hosted online subscription services to that constituency enabling us to attain a larger subscriber base for those services.

Also, we offer small and medium sized businesses (“SMBs”) hosted access to enterprise-class applications delivered via the Internet for a reasonable monthly fee. These rapidly growing SaaS offerings include such hosted applications as Microsoft Exchange Server, Sharepoint, BlackBerry Enterprise Server, Good Messaging Server, SPAM and Virus protection, and advanced Email Encryption services. Our current customer base consists of nearly 900 organizations worldwide in both the public and private sectors.

Our storage product architecture employs innovative, proprietary virtualization software that severs the traditional tie between stored data and disk drive hardware. This virtualization software masks the complexity of the underlying storage configuration and enables our storage arrays to cooperate with one another to automatically share resources and balance workloads. Our products are based on the iSCSI network protocol, which utilizes widely-deployed Internet Protocol, or IP, networks. As a result, our customers can cost-effectively install, expand and modify their data storage resources.

Beginning in 2001, we began a series of strategic acquisitions and divestitures which have resulted in our current business and operations and impacted our financial statements for fiscal 2008 and 2007, including:

 
13

 


 
in June 2001, we acquired the assets of Learning Stream, Inc., a provider of digital content streaming services, which coincided with the transition of our business model to a focus on e-learning. Learning Stream had developed custom streaming solutions which we believed were more efficient and effective than the solutions we had implemented at that time. We considered the software we acquired to be competitive because it helped remove the complexity and unnecessary cost from the implementation of the streaming technology,

 
in June 2003, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Interlan Corporation, a provider of data communications and networking solutions for business, government, and education. Interlan provided technical services including presales design and consulting, installation, troubleshooting, and long term maintenance and support contracts,
 
 
in June 2003, we also acquired all of the outstanding stock of The Seven Corporation, a provider of network engineering services to commercial and government customers throughout the United States,
 
 
in October 2003, we acquired the software ownership rights and customers of Iplicity, Inc. of Virginia. Iplicity had developed a complete content management software platform based on open source architecture to run in any operating environment. In this transaction we acquired software licenses, source code, potential patents and trademarks,
 
 
in May 2004 we acquired substantially all of the assets of DevElements, Inc. of Virginia, a professional IT consultancy firm that designs, develops and implements web-based productivity solutions for its customers. In this transaction we acquired software licenses, source code, potential patents and trademarks, as well as some cash and tangible assets, and

 
in March 2006, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, IceWEB Online, Inc., completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and some liabilities of PatriotNet, Inc.

In August 2006, after multiple quarters of collapsing revenue and higher than anticipated losses in fiscal 2006, our Board of Directors and senior management implemented a strategy of re-focusing the Company on hosted software services and network security sales. The Company determined, through a detailed analysis of operations, that the PatriotNet and Integrated Power Solutions activities were not profitable or in line with the company’s core focus and competencies. In addition, the Company believes we can focus our limited sales and marketing budgets on the remaining core business activities to achieve more success.
 
 
On November 15, 2006, the Company acquired the assets of True North Federal Solutions Group for $350,000 of which $250,000 was paid in cash and $100,000 due upon future terms of the agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, IceWEB acquired the customer database, forecast, contract renewals, and GSA schedule of True North Federal. The revenue generated to IceWEB from this division since the acquisition, exceeded the revenue from the discontinued PatriotNet and IPS operations.

 
On December 1, 2006, we sold the assets of PatriotNet to Leros Technologies, a third party, for $150,000 in cash and the assumption of $60,000 in liabilities. On September 30, 2007 we recorded goodwill impairment of $180,000 related to this transaction. The PatriotNet services constituted 9.5% of revenue in fiscal 2006.

 
On December 1, 2006, we sold 100% of the capital stock of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Integrated Power Solutions, Inc. to John Younts, a related party, for the assumption of approximately $200,000 in liabilities. In fiscal 2006, revenues for Integrated Power Solutions accounted for approximately $400,000 or 7% of our total IceWEB revenues.

 
On December 22, 2007, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Inline Corporation for $1,925,128 in cash, plus 503,356 shares of IceWEB common stock valued at $276,846, the fair market value on the date of acquisition. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations are included in the financial statements of operations from the date of acquisition. Inline is a leading provider of intelligent enterprise data storage solutions and services for the geospatial intelligence marketplace.  Inline’s proprietary products include reliable, high performance Storage Area Network Solutions, Network Attached Storage, and Direct Attached Storage and the rapidly expanding OEM Storage Centric Appliances. Today, Inline has developed its fifth generation of advanced data storage solutions, marketed under the brands TruEnterprise and FileStorm. All Inline systems function in a heterogeneous operating system environment, including Windows, UNIX and Linux. The purchase of Inline Corporation included the acquisition of assets of $2,688,795, and liabilities of $614,668.

 
14

 

We generate revenues from the manufacture and sale of data storage appliances and servers, the sale of software services, application development, network integrated technology, and third party hardware sales. We believe that the key factors to our continued growth and profitability include the following:
 
 
Continued focus on the GIS market and expanding our channels of distribution with OEM partners
 
Continued investment in product development and research efforts
 
Raising approximately $3 million of additional working capital to expand our marketing, research and development, and restructure our debt.
 
Hiring additional qualified, technical employees, and
 
Improving our internal financial reporting systems and processes.

GOING CONCERN

We have a history of losses and have incurred net losses of approximately $20.1 million since inception through September 30, 2008. Our current operations are not an adequate source of cash to fund future operations. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2008 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our net losses. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities when they become due and to generate profitable operations in the future. We plan to continue to provide for our capital requirements through the sale of equity securities and debt, however, we have no firm commitments from any third party to provide this financing and we cannot assure you we will be successful in raising working capital as needed. There are no assurances that we will have sufficient funds to execute our business plan, pay our operating expenses and obligations as they become due or generate positive operating results.

Sales
For fiscal 2008, we reported sales of $16,294,423 as compared to net revenues of $18,732,069 for fiscal 2007, a decrease of $2,437,646 or approximately 13%. Of our total net revenues for fiscal 2008, approximately $14,886,699 is attributable to third party product sales by our IceWEB Solutions Group, approximately $982,049 is attributable to our sale of storage products, and approximately $425,675 is attributable to revenues from our online products and services. For fiscal 2007, approximately $16,921,721 is attributable to third party product sales by our IceWEB Solutions Group and approximately $186,625 is attributable to revenues from our online products and services.

 
15

 

The decrease in fiscal 2008 net revenues from fiscal 2007 is primarily due to a decrease in our third party product sales through our IceWEB Solutions Group.

 Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Our cost of sales consists primarily of products purchased for resale by our IceWEB Solutions Group, and the cost of goods to manufacture our storage products.  For fiscal 2008, cost of sales was $14,067,630, or approximately 86.3% of revenues, as compared to $16,811,274, or approximately 89.75% of revenues, for fiscal 2007. The decrease in costs of sales as a percentage of revenue and the corresponding increase in our gross profit margin for fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007 was the result of an increase in higher margin storage sales in fiscal 2008, and improved margins attributable to our Solutions Group revenues.

Total Operating Expenses

Our total operating expenses increased approximately 82% to $7,981,659 for fiscal 2008 as compared to $4,379,045 for fiscal 2007.  The increase is primarily due to our acquisition of Inline Corporation in December, 2007.  This increase includes:

Marketing and Selling. For the year ended September 30, 2008, marketing and selling costs were $192,595 as compared to $192,816  for the year ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $222 or approximately 0.1%.  This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in online web marketing, advertising and print advertising during fiscal 2008, offset by increased marketing costs related to our storage products and the acquisition of Inline Corporation. We anticipate that our marketing and selling expenses will increase in fiscal 2009 as we execute on our plan to increase our storage sales.

Depreciation and amortization expense. For fiscal 2008, depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $575,499 as compared to $351,400 for fiscal 2007, an increase of 224,099 or 63.8%.  Depreciation expense is provided by use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. For fiscal 2008, depreciation expense was $281,355 as compared to $247,226 for fiscal 2007. The increase in depreciation was attributable to the acquisition in December 2007 of Inline Corporation.

Amortization expense is related to the customer relationships and software library which are intangible assets that we generated through our acquisitions Inline Corporation, DevElements, Inc. and Iplicity, Inc. It also includes the amortization of the value of the manufacturing GSA schedule which was acquired as part of the Inline Corporation acquisition and the GSA schedule which was acquired as part of the True North Solutions Group acquisition. These GSA schedules are being amortized on a straight-line basis over three years. For fiscal 2008, amortization expense was $294,144 as compared to $104,174 for fiscal 2007. The increase in amortization expense of $189,970 is due to the amortization of the intangible assets acquired as part of the Inline Corporation acquisition.

Research and development expense. For fiscal 2008, research and development expenses were $303,526 as compared to $0 for fiscal 2007.  The increase in research and development expense is related to the acquisition of Inline Corporation.  We anticipate the spending on research and development in fiscal 2009 will be approximately $100,000 per quarter.

General and administrative expense. For fiscal 2008, general and administrative expenses were $6,910,039 as compared to $3,834,829 for fiscal 2007, an increase of $3,075,210 or approximately 80%. This increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Inline Corporation in December 2007, which contributed general and administrative expense of $1,096,655.  For each of fiscal 2008 and 2007, general and administrative expenses consisted of the following:

The principal changes in fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007 include:
 
 
For fiscal 2008, salaries and related taxes and benefits increased $1,982,750 or 77.4% from fiscal 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Inline Corporation, which contributed $440,437 in salary and related expense.  In addition, the increase was due to an increase in the granting of stock options in fiscal 2008 to members of the board of directors, executive officers, and employees which was valued using FASB 123R and resulted in stock-based compensation of $1,988,358 versus the same expense in the prior year of $650,555, an increase of $1,337,803.  Excluding the impact of FASB 123R expense and the acquisition of Inline Corporation, salaries and related taxes and benefits increased $204,511.

 
For fiscal 2008, occupancy expense increased $82,298 or 37.6% from fiscal 2007.  The increase was due to the acquisition of Inline Corporation, and the rent expense associated with their office location.  We expect occupancy expense in fiscal 2009 to be substantially reduced as a result of consolidating our office locations in August, 2008.

 
For fiscal 2008, professional fees decreased $102,126 or approximately 52.2% from fiscal 2007. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in legal fees incurred to settle lawsuits against the Company, which occurred in fiscal 2007.

 
For fiscal 2008, other expense increased $268,837 or approximately 105% from fiscal 2007. The increase is primarily due to the accrued costs to settle potential litigation of $165,000, an increase in hosting fees of $29,270, an increase in web development expense of $52,125, and property taxes related to the Inline office space of $18,169.

 
For fiscal 2008, consulting expense increased by $25,041 or approximately 14.6% from fiscal 2007. The increase was primarily due to higher consulting fees related to the acquisition of Inline Corporation in December, 2007.

 
For fiscal 2008, investor relations expense increased $743,032 or approximately 460.1% from fiscal 2007. The increase was attributable to an increase in general investor relations activity as we seek to build awareness of our company with financial professionals and individual investors.  $493,850 of this expense of the investor relations expense in fiscal 2008 was non-cash.  We expect that in fiscal 2009 our investor relations activity and related expense will be substantially reduced.

 
For fiscal 2008, travel and entertainment expense increased $20,632 or approximately 19.6%. The increase was attributable to an increase in general business, sales, and travel-related investor relations activity.

 
For fiscal 2008, insurance expense increased $25,161 or approximately 106.6%.from fiscal 2007. The increase was attributable to higher premiums paid for general business and D&O insurance, related primarily to the acquisition of Inline Corporation.

LOSS FROM OPERATIONS

We reported a loss from operations of $5,754,865 for fiscal 2008 as compared to a loss from operations of $2,458,250 for fiscal 2007, an increase of $3,296,615 or approximately 134%. This increase is primarily the result of decreased net revenues in the fiscal 2008 period, losses incurred related to the acquisition of Inline Corporation, and non-cash expenses related to FAS123R compensation expense.

TOTAL OTHER INCOME (EXPENSES)

Gain (loss) from sale of assets. During fiscal 2007 we recorded a gain of $153,319 on the sale of our Integrated Power Solutions and The Seven Corporation subsidiaries. We did not have comparable transactions in fiscal 2008.

Interest Expense. For fiscal 2008, interest expense increased $110,778 or approximately 20%. The increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to higher average outstanding note balances during fiscal 2008, offset by lower deferred loan fee amortization in fiscal 2008 of $16,251, as compared to deferred loan fee amortization of $160,000 in fiscal 2007.

NET LOSS

Our net loss was $6,410,793 for fiscal 2008 compared to $2,850,123 for fiscal 2007, a decrease of $3,560,670 or approximately 125%.

At September 30, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of $(5,572,671) compared to a working capital deficit of $(1,981,325) at September 30, 2007, an increase of $3,591,346. The increase is primarily attributable to activity related to our acquisition of Inline Corporation.  These changes are primarily attributable to the decreases in accounts receivable of $2,021,318 and cash of $1,087,690, along with the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,957,616, offset by the decrease in current notes payable of $920,995, the decrease in notes payable- related party of $115,767, and the increase in inventory of $392,216.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $862,691 for fiscal 2008 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,245,512 for fiscal 2007, an increase of $2,108,203.  For fiscal 2008, our cash provided by operations of $862,691 consisted of a net loss of $6,410,793, offset by non-cash items totaling $7,058,551 including items such as depreciation and amortization of $575,499, stock based compensation of $1,573,363, the amortization of deferred compensation of $910,930, and other non-cash items of $16,196. Additionally, during fiscal 2008 we had an increase in operating liabilities and a decrease in operating assets which offset our net loss. This change in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of a decrease in accounts receivable of $2,887,773 attributable to a decrease in fourth quarter sales, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,342,947, offset by an increase in inventory of $2,647.

    For fiscal 2007, our cash used in operations of $1,245,512 consisted of a net loss of $2,850,123, offset by non-cash items totaling $1,149,544 including items such as depreciation and amortization of $351,400, stock based compensation of $697,000,  the amortization of deferred compensation of $150,666, and other non-cash items of $79,000. Additionally, during fiscal 2007 we had an increase in operating liabilities and an increase in operating assets which offset our net loss. This change in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of an increase in accounts receivable of $3,946,058 attributable to an increase in fourth quarter sales, offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $4,559,078 attributable to the increase in fourth quarter 2007 sales.
 
    Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2008 was $2,111,749 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $130,873 for fiscal 2007. During fiscal 2008, we acquired Inline Corporation and in connection therewith used net cash of $1,925,128.  Additionally, we used cash of $186,621 for property and equipment purchases. During fiscal 2007, we acquired certain assets and in connection therewith used cash of $247,000. Additionally, we used cash of $21,873 for property and equipment purchases.

Net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 2008 was $161,368 as compared to $2,035,975 for fiscal 2007, a decrease of $1,874,607.  The primary reason for the decrease was a decrease of $858,158 in net proceeds from the sale of equity securities and exercise of warrants and options during fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007, as well as the net proceeds from notes payable of $1,275,218.

At September 30, 2008 we had an accumulated deficit of $20,131,957 and the report from our independent registered public accounting firm on our audited financial statements at September 30, 2008 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our net losses in operations. In spite of our revenues, there is no assurance that we will be able to maintain or increase our revenues in fiscal 2009 or that we will report net income in any future periods.

We do not have any working capital commitments nor do we not presently have any external sources of working capital. Historically, our revenues have not been sufficient to fund our operations and we have relied on capital provided through the sale of equity securities, and various financing arrangements and loans from related parties. At September 30, 2008 we had cash on hand of $4,780.  In addition to the cash necessary to fund our operating losses, research and development, marketing and general growth, we will need cash to satisfy certain obligations.  In fiscal 2006, we entered into a receivable factoring agreement with Sand Hill Finance, LLC under which we can sell certain accounts receivable to the lender on a full recourse basis at 80% of the face amount of the receivable up to an aggregate of $1.8 million. We agreed to pay Sand Hill Finance, LLC an annual commitment fee of $10,000 and a monthly finance fee of 2% of the average daily balance under the line. We granted Sand Hill Finance, LLC a blanket security interest in our assets and agreed to refrain from certain actions while the line is outstanding.  This financing agreement was amended in fiscal 2008 to increase the line amount to $2,750,000, and to add an eighteen month term loan of $1,000,000 with an interest rate of 24% per annum.  As of September 30, 2008, we had $1,581,148 available under the line of credit facility.  Also, in July 2006, we entered into what is in essence a sale and leaseback agreement with respect to certain computer and office equipment. At September 30, 2008, amount due under this equipment financing arrangement amounted to $91,807.

Our working capital needs in future periods depend primarily on the rate at which we can increase our revenues while controlling our expenses and decreasing the use of cash to fund operations. Additional capital may be needed to fund acquisitions of additional companies or assets, although we are not a party to any pending agreements at this time and, accordingly, cannot estimate the amount of capital which may be necessary, if any, for acquisitions.

As long as our cash flow from operations remains insufficient to completely fund operations, we will continue depleting our financial resources and seeking additional capital through equity and/or debt financing. In March 2005 we sold shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and in December 2005 we sold shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to the same purchaser. The series A Convertible Preferred Stock has been converted into Common Stock, and there are no remaining outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.  The designation of the Series B Preferred Stock included a restriction that so long as the shares are outstanding, we cannot sell or issue any common stock, rights to subscribe for shares of common stock or securities which are convertible or exercisable into shares of common stock at an effective purchase price of less than the then conversion value which is presently $0.2727 for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Under the terms of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock transaction, we also agreed not to issue any convertible debt or preferred stock. The terms of our sales of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to Barron Partners contain restrictions on the types of financing transactions we can enter into while those securities are outstanding which may adversely affect our ability to raise capital in equity or debt transactions.  In addition, under the terms of the financing agreement with Sand Hill Finance, LLC we agreed not to incur any additional indebtedness other than trade credit in the ordinary course of business. These covenants may also limit our ability to raise capital in future periods. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all.  Our ability to continue our existing operations and to fund our working capital needs will suffer if we are unable to raise the additional funds on acceptable terms which will have the effect of adversely affecting our ongoing operations and limiting our ability to increase our revenues and maintain profitable operations in the future. If we are unable to secure the necessary additional working capital as needed, we may be forced to curtail some or all of our operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial Reporting Release No. 60, which was released by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, encourages all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. Our consolidated financial statements include a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Use of Estimates - Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, the carrying value of property and equipment, intangible assets, and long-lived assets, and the value of stock-option based compensation. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition - We follow the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the Company:

Revenues from sales of products are generally recognized when products are shipped unless we have obligations remaining under sales or licensing agreements, in which case revenue is either deferred until all obligations are satisfied or recognized ratably over the term of the contract.

Revenue from services is recorded as it is earned. Commissions earned on third party sales are recorded in the month in which contracts are awarded. Customers are generally billed every two weeks based on the units of production for the project. Each project has an estimated total which is based on the estimated units of production and agreed upon billing rates. Amounts billed in advance of services being provided are recorded as deferred revenues and recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as services are provided.

Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Effective October 1, 2005, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”). SFAS No. 123R establishes the financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based compensation plans. As required by SFAS No. 123R, we recognize the cost resulting from all stock-based payment transactions including shares issued under our stock option plans in the financial statements.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued several new accounting pronouncements:

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 – Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes– an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on accounting for de-recognition, interest, penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and classification of matters related to uncertainty in income taxes, and transitional requirements upon adoption of FIN 48. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of FIN 48 on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses related to these financial instruments reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, Financial Statements — Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB No. 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of prior-year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in the current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both the income statement and balance sheet approach and evaluate whether either approach results in a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB No. 108 is effective for years ending after November 15, 2006, and the impact of adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
IceWEB, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of IceWEB, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of IceWEB, Inc. and Subsidiaries, as of September 30, 2008 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had net losses of $6,410,793 and $2,850,123 respectively, for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts to conform to 2007 amounts. The reclassifications had no impact on previously reported results of operations or shareholders’ deficit.

Going Concern

The Company’s auditors stated in their report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 that the Company is dependent on outside financing and has had losses since inception that raise doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. In addition and as discussed further in Note 6, the Company is not in compliance with debt covenants under its Financing Agreements with Sand Hills Finance LLC. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,410,793.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recovery and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

Management has established plans intended to increase the sales of the Company’s products and services. Management intends to seek new capital from new equity securities offerings to provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund growth, and implement its business plan. However, no assurances can be given that the Company will be able to raise any additional funds.

Fair value of financial instruments
 The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated fair value as of September 30, 2008, because of the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments and their market interest rates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in 2008 and 2007 include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the valuation of stock-based compensation, and the useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists of normal trade receivables. The Company recorded a bad debt allowance of $9,000 as of September 30, 2008. Management performs ongoing evaluations of its accounts receivable. Management believes that all remaining receivables are fully collectable. Bad debt expense amounted to $0 and $0 for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis and includes primarily finished goods.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

Property and equipment also includes costs incurred in connection with development on the Company’s software developed for internal use and website costs. The Company capitalized certain costs valued in connection with developing or obtaining internal use software in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use”. These costs, which consist of direct technology labor costs, are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over expected useful lives of three years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, net consists of the cost of acquired customer relationships. The Company capitalizes and amortizes the cost of acquired intangible assets over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s acquired customer relationships is five years.

Long-lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company reviews the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the Company:

Revenues from sales of products are generally recognized when products are shipped unless the Company has obligations remaining under sales or licensing agreements, in which case revenue is either deferred until all obligations are satisfied or recognized ratably over the term of the contract.

Revenue from services is recorded as it is earned. Commissions earned on third party sales are recorded in the month in which contracts are awarded. Customers are generally billed every two weeks based on the units of production for the project. Each project has an estimated total which is based on the estimated units of production and agreed upon billing rates. Amounts billed in advance of services being provided are recorded as deferred revenues and recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as services are provided.

Earnings per Share

The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share (“SFAS No. 128”). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method) and upon the conversion of convertible preferred stock (using the if-converted method). Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the calculation if their effect is antidilutive.  At September 30, 2008, there were options and warrants to purchase 6,883,827 shares of common stock and 1,253,334 shares issuable upon conversion of Series B preferred stock which could potentially dilute future earnings per share.

Stock-Based Compensation

As more fully described in Note 12, the Company has a stock option plan that provides for non-qualified and incentive stock options to be issued to directors, officers, employees and consultants (the 2000 Management and Director Equity Incentive and Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).

Prior to October 1, 2005, the Company accounted for stock options issued under the Plan under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. No stock-based compensation cost related to employee stock options was recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2005 as all options granted under the Plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Effective October 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized in the year ended September 30, 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of September 30, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to October 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Statement 123(R). Financial results for the year ended September 30, 2005 have not been restated.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued several new accounting pronouncements:

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 – Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes– an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on accounting for de-recognition, interest, penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and classification of matters related to uncertainty in income taxes, and transitional requirements upon adoption of FIN 48. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of FIN 48 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, (“SFAS No. 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. However, the FASB did provide a one year deferral for the implementation of SFAS No. 157 for other nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses related to these financial instruments reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, Financial Statements — Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB No. 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of prior-year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in the current year financial statements.

Amounts borrowed under the Financing Agreement are secured by a first security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets.  At September 30, 2008, the principal amount due under the Financing Agreement amounted to $1,168,852.  The principal amount due under the term note amounted to $919,340.  These amounts are included in the notes payable balance of $2,274,456 on the balance sheet at September 30, 2008.
 
Interest is payable at a rate of 2% per month on the average loan balance outstanding during the year, equal to an annual interest of approximately 24% per year. The Company also agreed to pay an upfront commitment fee of 1% of the credit line upon signing the Financing Agreement, half of which was due and paid upon signing (amounting to $9,000) and half of which is due on the first anniversary of the Financing Agreement. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a commitment fee of 1% of the credit limit annually, such amounts are payable on the anniversary of the agreement.

The warrant contains a cashless exercise provision which means that at the option of the holder, the warrant is convertible into a number of shares of our common stock as determined by dividing the aggregate fair market value of the Company’s common stock minus the aggregate exercise price of the warrant by the fair market value of one share of common stock. The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrant and the exercise price are subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits and reclassifications. The fair value of the warrant of $16,250 has been recorded as an addition to paid-in capital and interest expense during the year ended September 30, 2007.

The Financing Agreement has a term of one year, subject to mutual extension by both parties. As a result, the balance due to Sand Hill Finance, LLC is classified as a current liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The terms of the Financing Agreement also restrict the Company from undertaking certain transactions without the written consent of the creditor including (i) permit or suffer a change in control involving 20% of its securities, (ii) acquire assets, except in the ordinary course of business, involving payment of $100,000 or more, (iii) sell, lease, or transfer any of its property except for sales of inventory and equipment in the ordinary course of business, (iv) transfer, sell or license any intellectual property, (v) declare or pay a dividend on stock, except payable in the form of stock dividends (vi) incur any indebtedness other than trade credit in the ordinary course of business and (vii) permit any lien or security interest to attach to any collateral.

The Company also issued Liberty Company LLC, a broker dealer which served as finder for the Company in the transaction, a Common Stock Purchase Warrant “G” to purchase 25,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Other than the exercise price, all other terms of the warrant issued to Liberty Company LLC are identical to the Common Stock Purchase Warrants “E” and “F” issued to the purchaser.

The expiration date of the warrants is five years, or 18 months after effectiveness of a registration statement subsequent to the issuance hereof with such 18 months to be extended by one month for each month or portion of a month during which such registration statement’s effectiveness has lapsed or been suspended, whichever is longer. The warrants contain a cashless exercise provision which permits the holder, rather than paying the exercise price in cash, to surrender a number of warrants equal to the exercise price of the warrants being exercised. The holder cannot utilize the cashless exercise feature during the first six months of the term or so long as there is an effective registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying the warrants. The exercise price of the warrants and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and reorganizations, as well as if we issue common stock or securities convertible into common stock at an effective price less than the then current exercise price of the warrant.

As with the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, no exercise of these warrants may occur if a conversion would result in the holder, Barron Partners LP, and any of its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding common shares following such exercise. This limitation, however, immediately terminates as to the warrants in the event of the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity.

If the Company’s common stock trades at or above $2.85 per share for 20 consecutive trading days, upon notice from the Company the holder must exercise the Common Stock Purchase Warrant “D” within 45 days, or transfer the warrant to a third party. If the holder elects to so transfer the warrant, the new holder then has an additional 45 days to exercise the Common Stock Purchase Warrant “D”. If the Company called the warrants and all or any portion of the warrants are not exercised within these respective periods, the unexercised Common Stock Purchase Warrants “D” will terminate.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Related Warrants Registration Rights

The Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 30 days to register for resale the shares of common stock issuable upon the possible conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the exercise of the warrants, and to use our best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 120 days from the closing date. The Company has also granted Barron Partners LP demand registration rights covering these securities, as well as piggy-back registration rights for a period of two years from the closing date. The Company paid all costs associated with these registration statements and have indemnified Barron Partners LP with respect thereto for any losses or claims related to material misstatements or material omissions by the Company in the registration statement(s). The Company received a waiver from Barron, whereby Barron waived any penalties due pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

NOTE 12 - STOCK OPTION PLAN

In August 2000, the Board of Directors adopted the 2000 Management and Director Equity Incentive and Compensation Plan the “Plan”) for directors, officers and employees that provides for non-qualified and incentive stock options to be issued enabling holders thereof to purchase common shares of the Company at exercise prices determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders in August 2001.

The purpose of the Plan is to advance the Company’s interests and those of its stockholders by providing a means of attracting and retaining key employees, directors and consultants. In order to serve this purpose, the Company believes the Plan encourages and enables key employees, directors and consultants to participate in its future prosperity and growth by providing them with incentives and compensation based on its performance, development and financial success. Participants in the Plan may include the Company’s officers, directors, other key employees and consultants who have responsibilities affecting our management, development or financial success.

Awards may be made under the Plan in the form of Plan options, shares of the Company’s common stock subject to a vesting schedule based upon certain performance objectives (“Performance Shares”) and shares subject to a vesting schedule based on the recipient’s continued employment (“restricted shares”). Plan options may either be options qualifying as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or options that do not so qualify. Any incentive stock option granted under the Plan must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of such grant, but the exercise price of any incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of our common stock must be at least 110% of such fair market value as determined on the date of the grant. Only persons who are officers or other key employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options and performance share grants. Any non-qualified stock option granted under the Plan must provide for an exercise price of not less than 50% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of such grant.

As amended in fiscal 2007, the Plan permits the grant of options and shares for up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Plan terminates 10 years from the date of the Plan’s adoption by the Company’s stockholders.

The term of each Plan option and the manner in which it may be exercised is determined by the Board of Directors, provided that no Plan option may be exercisable more than three years after the date of its grant and, in the case of an incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of the Company’s common stock, no more than five years after the date of the grant. The exercise price of the stock options may be paid in either cash, or delivery of unrestricted shares of common stock having a fair market value on the date of delivery equal to the exercise price, or surrender of shares of common stock subject to the stock option which has a fair market value equal to the total exercise price at the time of exercise, or a combination of the foregoing methods.

The fair value of stock options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model. The Company used the following assumptions for determining the fair value of options granted under the Black-Scholes option pricing model:
 
   
Year Ended September 30,
   
2008
 
2007
Expected volatility
 
87% - 198%
 
76% - 107%
Expected term
 
1 - 5 Years
 
3 - 5 Years
Risk-free interest rate
 
2.34% - 4.38%
 
4.39% - 4.96%
Forfeiture Rate
 
0% - 45%
 
0% - 35%
Expected dividend yield
 
0%
 
0%

The expected volatility was determined with reference to the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise, employee termination, and forfeiture rate within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury rate in effect at the time of grant.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, total stock-based compensation charged to operations for option-based arrangements amounted to $910,930. At September 30, 2008, there was approximately $820,470 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested option-based compensation arrangements under the Plan.

The above unaudited pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of results of operations that actually would have resulted had the acquisition occurred at October 1, 2006, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results.

In November 2006, the Company sold PatriotNet to a third party for $150,000 in cash and the assumption of approximately $60,000 in liabilities by the purchaser. At September 30, 2006, the Company recorded an impairment to goodwill of $180,000 to reflect the net realizable value of goodwill based on the subsequent sale of PatriotNet.

On December 1, 2006 we sold 100% of the capital stock of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Integrated Power Solutions, Inc. to Mr. John Younts, our Vice President of Integrated Power Solutions and a key employee, for the assumption of approximately $180,000 in liabilities and the payment of $12,000 we owed him. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, revenues for Integrated Power Solutions were approximately $457,000, or approximately, 9.5%, of our total sales.

On February 16, 2007 we sold 100% of the outstanding stock of our subsidiary, The Seven Corporation of Virginia, Inc., to PC NET in exchange for the waiver of approximately $11,000 we owed PC NET. Under the terms of the agreement we may not engage in any staffing services businesses as The Seven Corporation had conducted for a period of at least two years. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 revenues from The Seven Corporation were $360,000 or approximately 7.5%, of our total sales.

NOTE 14 - SEGMENT REPORTING

SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for the reporting by business enterprises of information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The method for determining what information to report is based on the way that management organizes the operating segments with IceWEB for making operational decisions and assessments of financial performance.

IceWEB’s chief operating decision-maker is considered to be the chief executive officer (CEO). The CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The financial information reviewed by the CEO is identical to the information presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Therefore, IceWEB has determined that it operates in a single operating segment, specifically, web communications services. For the periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 all material assets and revenues of IceWEB were in the United States.

NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 26, 2008 IceWEB executed a convertible debenture agreement with Sand Hill Finance, LLC in the amount of $1,170,767. The debenture bears interest at 18% and will allow SHF to convert the outstanding obligation into shares of IceWEB common stock at a fixed floor conversion price of $0.30 per share. In conjunction with this agreement, IceWEB entered into a Warrant Amendment Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to amend the exercise price on outstanding warrants issued to SHF to purchase 145,000 shares of IceWEB common stock by lowering the exercise price on these warrants to $0.50 per share from $1.00 per share.
 
NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company is a party to litigation which arises primarily in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of such litigation should not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

ITEM 8A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures



Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of IceWEB, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the Company), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


As of the end of the Company’s 2008 fiscal year, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2008 is effective.



Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of September 30, 2008, the end of the period covered by this report, our management concluded its evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC rules and regulations, and to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

As of the evaluation date, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that we maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC rules and regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors has created both an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. We do not have a Nominating Committee or any committee performing a similar function. The functions that such a committee would undertake are being undertaken by the entire board as a whole. We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our Board of Directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our Board has not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of Directors or any inquiry as to what the procedures may be if a stockholder wished to make such a recommendation. During fiscal 2008 our Board intends to develop a policy which will guide the handling of potential recommendations of board candidates. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors was formed to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities for the integrity of our consolidated financial statements, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, and the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors. The Audit Committee will also prepare the report that SEC rules require be included in our annual proxy statement. The Audit Committee has adopted a charter which sets forth the parameters of its authority The Audit Committee Charter provides that the Audit Committee is empowered to:
 
 
Appoint, compensate, and oversee the work of the independent registered public accounting firm employed by our company to conduct the annual audit. This firm will report directly to the audit committee;
 
Resolve any disagreements between management and the auditor regarding financial reporting;
 
Pre-approve all auditing and permitted non-audit services performed by our external audit firm;
 
Retain independent counsel, accountants, or others to advise the committee or assist in the conduct of an investigation;
 
Seek any information it requires from employees - all of whom are directed to cooperate with the committee’s requests - or external parties;
 
Meet with our officers, external auditors, or outside counsel, as necessary; and
 
The committee may delegate authority to subcommittees, including the authority to pre-approve all auditing and permitted non-audit services, provided that such decisions are presented to the full committee at its next scheduled meeting.

Each Audit Committee member is required to:
 
 
satisfy the independence requirements of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and all rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC as well as the rules imposed by the stock exchange or other marketplace on which our securities may be listed from time to time, and
 
meet the definitions of “non-employee director” for purposes of SEC Rule 16b-3 and “outside director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 
26

 

Each committee member is required to be financially literate and at least one member is to be designated as the “financial expert,” as defined by applicable legislation and regulation. No committee member is permitted to simultaneously serve on the audit committees of more than two other public companies. Mr. Pirtle is presently the sole member of our Audit Committee, and is considered an “audit committee financial expert” under the definition under Item 407 of Regulation S-B. As we expand our Board of Directors with additional independent directors the number of directors serving on the Audit Committee will also increase.

A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is available on our website at www.iceweb.com under the “Investor Relations” tab.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee was appointed by the Board to discharge the Board’s responsibilities relating to:
 
 
compensation of our executives,
 
equity-based compensation plans, including, without limitation, stock option and restricted stock plans, in which officers or employees may participate, and
 
arrangements with executive officers relating to their employment relationships with our company, including employment agreements, severance agreements, supplemental pension or savings arrangements, change in control agreements and restrictive covenants.

The Compensation Committee has adopted a charter. The Compensation Committee charter provides that the Compensation Committee has overall responsibility for approving and evaluating executive officer compensation plans, policies and programs of our company, as well as all equity-based compensation plans and policies. In addition, the Compensation Committee oversees, reviews and approves all of our ERISA and other employee benefit plans which we may establish from time to time. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for producing an annual report on executive compensation for inclusion in our proxy statement and assisting in the preparation of certain information to be included in other periodic reports filed with the SEC.

Each Compensation Committee member is required to:
 
 
satisfy the independence requirements of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and all rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC as well as the rules imposed by the stock exchange or other marketplace on which our securities may be listed from time to time, and
 
meet the definitions of “non-employee director” for purposes of SEC Rule 16b-3 and “outside director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Pursuant to our Compensation Committee Charter, the Compensation Committee is charged with evaluating and recommending for approval by the Board of Directors the compensation of our executive officers. In addition, the Compensation Committee also evaluates and makes recommendations to the entire Board of Directors regarding grants of options which may be made as director compensation. The Compensation Committee does not delegate these authorities to any other persons nor does it use the services of any compensation consultants.

Messrs. Compton, Druzak and Bush are the members of our Compensation Committee. As we expand our Board of Directors with additional independent directors the number of directors serving on the Compensation Committee will also increase. A copy of the Compensation Committee Charter is available on our website at www.iceweb.com under the “Investor Relations” tab.

Code of Ethics

In May 2005, we adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to our Chief Executive Officer, principal financial and accounting officers and persons performing similar functions. A Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is a written standard designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
 
 
honest and ethical conduct,

 
full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in regulatory filings and public statements,

 
compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations,

 
the prompt reporting violation of the code, and

 
accountability for adherence to the Code.

A copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is filed as an exhibit to this annual report. We will provide a copy, without charge, to any person desiring a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, by written request to us at our principal offices to the attention of Corporate Secretary.

Director Compensation

We have not established standard compensation arrangements for our directors and the compensation payable to each individual for their service on our Board is determined from time to time by our Board of Directors based upon the amount of time expended by each of the directors on our behalf.

How Mr. Signorello’s compensation is determined

Mr. Signorello, who has served as our CEO since March 2000, is not a party to an employment agreement with our company. His compensation is determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee considered a number of factors in determining Mr. Signorello compensation including the scope of his duties and responsibilities to our company and the time he devotes to our business. The Compensation Committee did not consult with any experts or other third parties in fixing the amount of Mr. Signorello compensation. During fiscal 2008 Mr. Signorello’s compensation package included a base salary of $250,000 and company provided health care benefits. The amount of compensation payable to Mr. Signorello can be increased at any time upon the determination of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

In August 2000, our Board of Directors adopted our 2000 Management and Director Equity Incentive and Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan was approved by our stockholders in August 2001. As amended in May 2006 and in June, 2007, we have reserved an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan. At November 30, 2008 we have granted options to purchase 6,583,827 shares of our common stock under the Plan. Our Board of Directors (or at their discretion a committee of our Board members) administers the Plan including, without limitation, the selection of recipients of awards under the Plan, the granting of stock options, restricted shares or performance shares, the determination of the terms and conditions of any such awards, the interpretation of the Plan and any other action they deem appropriate in connection with the administration of the Plan.

The purpose of the Plan is to advance our interests and those of our stockholders by providing a means of attracting and retaining key employees, directors and consultants. In order to serve this purpose, we believe the Plan encourages and enables key employees, directors and consultants to participate in our future prosperity and growth by providing them with incentives and compensation based on our performance, development and financial success. Participants in the Plan may include our officers, directors, other key employees and consultants who have responsibilities affecting our management, development or financial success.

Awards may be made under the Plan in the form of Plan options, shares of our common stock subject to a vesting schedule based upon certain performance objectives (“performance shares”) and shares subject to a vesting schedule based on the recipient’s continued employment (“restricted shares”). Plan options may either be options qualifying as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or options that do not so qualify. Any incentive stock option granted under our Plan must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of such grant, but the exercise price of any incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of our common stock must be at least 110% of such fair market value as determined on the date of the grant. Only persons who are our officers or other key employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options and performance share grants. Any non-qualified stock option granted under our Plan must provide for an exercise price of not less than 50% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of such grant.

The term of each Plan option and the manner in which it may be exercised is determined by the Board of Directors, provided that no Plan option may be exercisable more than three years after the date of its grant and, in the case of an incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of our common stock, no more than five years after the date of the grant. The exercise price of the stock options may be paid in either:
 
 
cash, or
 
delivery of unrestricted shares of our common stock having a fair market value on the date of delivery equal to the exercise price, or
 
surrender of shares of our common stock subject to the stock option which has a fair market value equal to the total exercise price at the time of exercise, or
 
a combination of the foregoing methods.

 
31

 

All Plan options are nonassignable and nontransferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, during the lifetime of the optionee, may be exercised only by such optionee. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, it may approve the irrevocable transfer, without payment, of non-qualified options to the option holder’s spouse, children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews, or to the trustee of a trust for the principal benefit of one or more such persons, or to a partnership whose partners are one or more of such persons. If an optionee’s employment is terminated for any reason, other than due to his or her death, disability or termination for cause, or if an optionee is not our employee but is a member of our Board of Directors and his or her service as a director is terminated for any reason, other than due to his or her death or disability, the Plan option granted may be exercised on the earlier of the expiration date or 90 days following the date of termination. If the optionee dies during the term of his or her employment, the Plan option granted to him or her shall lapse to the extent unexercised on the earlier of the expiration date of the Plan option or the date one year following the date of the optionee’s death. If the optionee’s employment, membership on the Board of Directors or engagement as a consultant terminates by reason of the optionee’s retirement, then the Plan option granted may be exercised until the earlier of 90 days following the date of termination or the expiration date. If the optionee is permanently and totally disabled within the meaning of Section 22(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Plan option granted to him or her lapses to the extent unexercised on the earlier of the expiration date of the option or one year following the date of such disability.

At the time of the restricted share grant, the Board of Directors may determine the vesting schedule of such shares and that after vesting, such shares may be further restricted as to transferability or be subject to repurchase by us or forfeiture upon the occurrence of certain events. Awards of restricted shares must be accepted by the participant within 30 days of the grant.

At the time of the award of performance shares, the Board of Directors shall establish a range of performance goals to be achieved during the performance period, including, without limitation, earnings, return on capital, or any performance goal approved by our stockholders in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Attainment of the highest performance goal for the performance period will earn 100% of the performance shares awarded for the performance period; failure to attain the lowest performance goal will result in the participant earning no performance shares. Attainment of the performance goals will be calculated from our financial statements, excluding changes in federal income tax rates and the effect of non-recurring and extraordinary items. The performance goals may vary for different performance periods and need not be the same for each participant receiving an award during a performance period.

If the participant’s employment by us, membership on our Board of Directors, or engagement by us as a consultant is terminated before the end of any performance period, or upon the participant’s death, retirement or disability, the Board of Directors, taking into consideration the performance of such participant and our performance over the performance period, may authorize the issuance to the participant or his or her legal representative or designated beneficiary all or a portion of the performance shares which would have been issued to him or her had the participant’s employment, Board membership or consulting engagement continued to the end of the performance period. If the participant’s employment, Board membership or consulting engagement terminates before the end of the performance period for any other reason, all performance shares are forfeited.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to any stockholder approval or other requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Board of Directors in its discretion and as determined at the time of award of the performance shares, may provide the participant with the option of receiving cash in lieu of the performance shares in an amount determined at the time of award including, without limitation, by one or more of the following methods:
 
 
the fair market value of the number of shares subject to the performance shares agreement on the date of award, or
 
part or all of any increase in the fair market value since such date, or
 
part or all of any dividends paid or payable on the number of shares subject to the performance share agreement, or
 
any other amounts which in the Board’s sole discretion are reasonably related to the achievement of the applicable performance goals, or
 
any combination of the foregoing.

The purchase price for restricted shares or performance shares granted under the Plan shall be set by the Board of Directors but may not be less than par value. Payment of the purchase price for the restricted shares or performance share may be made in either,

 
cash, or

 
32

 

 
by delivery of unrestricted shares of our common stock having a fair
 
market value on the date of such delivery equal to the total
 
purchase price, or
 
a combination of either of these methods.

The restricted stock awards, performance stock awards and stock options are subject to accelerated vesting in the event of our change of control. We may, at our option, terminate all unexercised stock options 30 days after a change in control and pay to the participant holding these unexercised options cash in an amount equal to the difference between fair market value and the exercise price of the stock option. If the fair market value is less than the exercise price, we may terminate the options without payment to the holder. The per share purchase price of shares subject to Plan options granted under the Plan or related to performance share awards or restricted share awards may be adjusted in the event of certain changes in our capitalization, but any such adjustment shall not change the total purchase price payable upon the exercise in full of such option or award. No participant in our Plan has any rights as a stockholder until the shares subject to the Plan options or stock awards have been duly issued and delivered to him or her.

We have an option to purchase any shares of our common stock which have been issued to Plan participants pursuant to restricted stock awards, performance stock awards or stock options if the participant ceases to be our employee, a member of our Board of Directors or a consultant to us for any reason. We must exercise our repurchase right at the time of termination. The purchase price for any shares we repurchase will be equal to the fair market value of the our total stockholders’ equity divided by the total outstanding shares of our common stock on the last day of that calendar month, calculated on a fully-diluted basis. If we exercise our repurchase right, we much close the transaction within 20 days from the termination date. At closing, we are entitled to delivery of a one-year promissory note as payment for the purchase price or, at our option, we may pay same in cash at closing.

We also have a right of first refusal to meet the offer if the holder of any shares of our common stock awarded or issued pursuant to our Plan desires to sell such shares to a third party.

The Board of Directors may amend, suspend or terminate our Plan at any time, except that no amendment shall be made which:
 
 
increases the total number of shares subject to the Plan or changes the minimum purchase price therefore (except in either case in the event of adjustments due to changes in our capitalization), or
 
affects outstanding Plan options or any exercise right thereunder, or
 
extends the term of any Plan option beyond 10 years, or
 
extends the termination date of the Plan.

Unless the Plan shall be earlier suspended or terminated, the Plan shall terminate 10 years from the date of the Plan’s adoption by our stockholders. Any such termination of our Plan shall not affect the validity of any Plan options previously granted there under.

ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

At December 22, 2008, there were 30,379,369 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. Our common stock is the only outstanding class of our voting securities. The following table sets forth, as of December 15, 2008, information known to us relating to the beneficial ownership of these shares by:
 
 
each person who is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock;

 
each director;

 
each executive officer; and

 
all executive officers and directors as a group.

Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner in the table set forth below is care of 45925 Maries Road, Dulles, Virginia 20166.

We believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of beneficially owned by them. Under securities laws, a person is considered to be the beneficial owner of securities he owns and that can be acquired by him within 60 days from December 5, 2008 upon the exercise of options, warrants, convertible securities or other understandings. We determine a beneficial owner’s percentage ownership by assuming that options, warrants or convertible securities that are held by him, but not those held by any other person and which are exercisable within 60 days of December 5, 2007, have been exercised or converted. Unless otherwise noted, the address of each of these principal stockholders is our principal executive offices.
