ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

                Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements

 

AlphaTrade.com (the "Company" or "we" or "us" or "our") has made forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Annual Report") that are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" which can be identified by the use of terminology such as "estimates," "projects," "plans," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," or the negative or other variations, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. We urge you to be cautious of the forward-looking statements, that such statements, which are contained in this Annual Report, reflect our current beliefs with respect to future events and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors affecting our operations, market growth, services, products and licenses. No assurances can be given regarding the achievement of future results, as actual results may differ materially as a result of the risks we face, and actual events may differ from the assumptions underlying the statements that have been made regarding anticipated events. Factors that may cause actual results, our performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include without limitation:

   1.  Our  ability  to attract  and retain  management,  and to  integrate  and

       maintain technical information and management information systems;

   2.  Our ability to generate customer demand for our products;

   3.  The intensity of competition; and

   4.  General economic conditions.

 

Organizational History

 

AlphaTrade.com was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 6, 1995 as Sierra Gold Development Corp. Our name was changed to Honor One Corporation on October 29, 1998. On January 6, 2001 the name was changed to AlphaTrade.com. In 2001 our common stock commenced trading on OTC Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB") under the symbol "EBNK". On January 14, 2002, our symbol changed to APTD after we effected a reverse split on a 1 for 50 basis. Unless otherwise indicated, share amounts set forth herein have been adjusted to reflect past stock splits.

 

Our headquarters  are  located  at  Suite  116 -  930 West 1st Street, North Vancouver, B.C.  V7P3N4, Canada.

 

Overview

AlphaTrade began as a technology company focused on developing a web based stock quote service that was high quality, comprehensive and affordable. Over the years, we have augmented that product with other complimentary products.  The single most important element of our business is our ever expanding database.  Every person in our database has an interest in the markets, makes above average income, are independent thinkers, and are receptive to new ideas and products.  All of our products are created out of a demand that presented itself from market conditions.  Our real time stock quote service is a recognized and welcomed quality alternative to products offered by competitors that require signing long term agreements, they charge much higher prices and have complicated operating instructions. 

4

Every new product we developed maintained our standard of high quality and affordability. As of this filing date, we have five diversified and unique revenue streams: real time stock quotes - E-Gate; financial information for websites - E-Trax; advertising, web design and web hosting services.

We have three websites all providing information and services that compliment all of our products - www.alphatrade.com, www.zenobank.com and http://finance.alphatrade.com . Our targeted online digital advertising and marketing programs are designed to serve many functions - every company has a need to maximize their advertising dollars.

Our marketing programs are multi-faceted - as visitors cruise our sites they will see many ads we have created.  If they have a further interest in the company profiled they will be able to conduct their own due diligence on that company either from E-gate, E-trax or from our finance site.  If a company decides to utilize our marketing programs to augment their investor relations or public relations program, we can provide them with E-Trax to ensure they are compliant from a regulatory point of view, and we can definitely give them a tremendous amount of exposure to a database that is proven to have an interest in publicly traded companies.  Our marketing programs are much more professional than most investor relations activities that are mainstream for smaller cap companies.

Our own brand has become well recognized and trusted in the financial community.  Since January 1999 when we commenced operations, AlphaTrade has prided itself on its ability to evolve. Our mandate is to aggressively build our business in markets that are over charged and fraught with under-performers. Our entire digital advertising business evolved from a lack we noticed in the advertising industry - no one was specifically serving the needs of developing and emerging companies. We launched our advertising program to serve that need and to bring some professionalism to a tainted industry.  In the process, our operational costs have been lowered, our database is growing at a fast pace, our web traffic is soaring and our brand is becoming well recognized. This initiative has given us the opportunity to withstand the tremendous negative business environment of 2009.  In fact, yet again, AlphaTrade has emerged with a new marketing opportunity that emerged because of the business environment of 2009 when so many people have lost their job.  We have initiated a Home Based Business opportunity to allow people to work out of their homes and become sales people selling all of our products.  This is yet another example of business diversification that becomes a win win situation for everyone involved.

Business Strategy

Our marketing strategy is building products and creating services that can survive and prosper in all economic times especially those times that are most challenging. Our advertising programs are a significant portion of our revenue now and our web traffic is building constantly.   We aggressively market all of our products and services to the financial community. Our strongest revenue growth for 2009 came from our advertising programs and we expect this to continue into 2010.

AlphaTrade's unique positioning in the marketplace is protected by a number of factors: reasonable price, targeted advertisement placement, high volume web traffic, valuable associations, strong networking ability, and worldwide audience.

Our database is expanding as a direct result of our successful advertising promotions. This is generating new business for a variety of our products. 2009 has been a difficult business environment for all companies and we did experience a downturn in all facets of business throughout the year.  Since our products are very price conscious,  we were able to reduce the migration of clients and are beginning to notice a small resurgence of new business.  We fully expect a turbulent business environment over the next year but anticipate new business based on our price point, our large, targeted audience and our success rate for our advertising clients. All these factors favor growth even during a tumultuous business environment.

5

Our overall strategy reflects the attention we are paying to our revenue growth for 2010 and beyond. The Investor and Public relations business is very fragmented and needs some consolidation.  This is exactly the type of business environment that requires a multi-pronged approach to get sustained results.  AlphaTrade is partnering and networking to build an association of companies that work together to expand the reach and the exposure for all their clients.  This approach is providing us with access to new clients and new strategic alliances that provide new opportunities to sell all of our products and services.  Every one of our clients are exposed to all of our products and for the most part, can utilize more than one.  The Internet public is fickle and expects unique content, interesting material, and clear concise content.  For the most part, publicly traded companies cannot deliver this information in a form that is interesting to internet traffic so they do not have a lot of website traffic.  Our websites accomplishes this for them - people coming to our sites already know they are getting condensed information and if they find it interesting they will make the decision to visit the corporate website.  This approach alleviates a lot of unnecessary work for the company and ensure our clients are satisfied.  Our goal is to get long term clients by providing services that help them build their business

Employees

 

We retain, through contracts with corporations, the services of two executive officers on a full time basis. In addition, through a Canadian management company, we employ nine employees/contractors. Our employees are not members of any union, nor have we entered into any collective bargaining agreements. We believe that our relationship with our employees is excellent. We are anticipating hiring additional employees/contractors in the next year to handle anticipated growth.

 

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS.

 

You should  carefully  consider  the  risks  described  below  as well as other

information provided  to you in this  document,  including  information  in the

section  of  this  document  entitled  "Information  Regarding  Forward  Looking

Statements." The risks and uncertainties  described below are not the only ones

facing the Company.  Additional risks and uncertainties  not presently known to

our company or that we  currently  believe are  immaterial  may also impair our

business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business,

financial condition  or results of  operations could be  materially  adversely

affected,  the value of our common stock could decline,  and you may lose all or

part of your investment.

 

Risks related to our financial results

--------------------------------------

 

We have a limited operating history and our limited operating history makes it

difficult to evaluate our business and  prospects.  We commenced operations  in

January 1999 and have conducted limited business operations since that time. As

a result of our short operating history, we have only limited financial data and

business information  with which to  evaluate  our  business  strategies,  past

performance and an investment in our common stock.  As a company with a limited

operating history,  there are substantial  risks,  uncertainties,  expenses and

difficulties that we are subject to. You should  consider an  investment in our

company in light of these risks,  uncertainties,  expenses and difficulties.  To

address these risks and uncertainties, we must do the following:

 

       o   Successfully execute our business strategy;

 

       o   Continue to develop our products and services;

 

       o   Respond to competitive developments; and

 

       o   Attract, integrate, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

 

6

 

We may be unable to accomplish one or more of these objectives, which could cause our business to suffer. In addition, accomplishing one or more of these objectives might be very expensive, which could harm our financial results.

 

We have incurred significant losses since inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.

 

As of December 31, 2009, we have incurred an accumulated net loss of approximately $41.7 million. Our management believes that while our business and products will be appealing to our current and future customers there is no assurance we will be able to successfully continue to increase our revenues or that our products will be accepted by the market. Furthermore, in light of our significant losses, we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and sustain profitability. If we do achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Any of these factors could cause our stock price to decline.

 

Management believes that long-term profitability and growth will depend on its ability to:

       o   Develop the  reputation of  AlphaTrade as a successful  marketing and

           advertising company;

 

       o   Successfully identify and exploit appropriate opportunities,  markets

           and products;

 

       o   Develop viable strategic alliances; and

 

       o   Maintain sufficient volume of inflow of advertising clients.

 

We will need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our operations, and our failure to obtain funding when needed may force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our products and services.

 

Our operations have consumed a substantial amount of cash since inception. We expect to continue to spend substantial amounts to:


       o   develop the  reputation of  AlphaTrade as a successful  marketing and

           advertising company;

 

       o   maintain and increase the company's  human  resource  including  full

           time and consultant resources;

 

       o   evaluate appropriate opportunities, markets and products; and

 

       o   evaluate future products and areas for long term development.

 

To date, our additional sources of cash have been primarily limited to the sale of our securities and loans from related parties and outside sources. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities or debt convertible debt securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct its business. If we are unable to raise additional capital, when required, or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue our products and services.

Risks Related to Our Business

-----------------------------

 

There are many competitors in the data feed industry.  We expect competition to

continue and intensify in the future. We also face competition from discount and

full service brokerage firms that provide similar proprietary  services to their

own customer bases.

 

The market may not continue to accept our products and our E-Gate  product.  We

generate a large portion of our revenue from subscribers who pay monthly for the

E-Gate service.  We do expect that  E-Gate  will  continue  to  account  for a

substantial  portion of our  revenue  for  fiscal  2010.  Our future  financial

performance will depend on increasing  acceptance of our current products and on

the successful development, introduction and customer acceptance of new products

and services.

 

As our subscriber  base  increases,  the amount of revenue from  advertising is

expected  to  increase  and the amount we can charge for  advertising  increases

because the specific  demographics of our  subscribers is highly  attractive for

many companies.  If we are unable to continue to generate sufficient  revenues

from our new products,  our business may be adversely  affected and the price of

our stock may decline.

 

Outside factors may influence our growth and business development.

 

Outside factors may influence our growth and business development.  We expect to

experience significant fluctuations in our future results of operations due to a

variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, including, but not

limited to the following:

 

         *     demand for and market acceptance of our products and services;

 

         *     our efforts to expand into different industries;

 

         *     introduction of new products and services by us or

               our competitors;

 

         *     competitive factors that affect our pricing;

 

         *     the mix of products and services we sell;

 

         *     the timing and magnitude of our capital expenditures, including

               costs relating to the expansion of our operations;

 

         *     hiring and retention of key personnel;

 

         *     changes in generally accepted accounting policies, especially

               those related to the recognition of subscription revenue; and

 

         *     new government legislation or regulation.

 

Any of the above factors could have a negative effect on our business and on the

price of our  stock,  and we may have to  significantly  delay,  scale  back or

discontinue our products and services.

 

Loss of key executives  and key  personnel  and  failure to  attract  qualified

managers and employees could limit our growth and negatively impact our business

operations.

 

 

8


 

If we lose our key executives and key personnel or fail to attract  qualified

managers and employees, we may be unable to successfully operate our business. We

depend on the  continued  contributions  of our  executive  officers  and other

technical and marketing  personnel to work effectively as a team, to execute our

business strategy and to manage our business. The loss of key personnel or their

failure  to  work  effectively  could  have a  material  adverse  effect  on our

business, financial condition and results of operations. We are not aware of any

named executive officer or director who has plans to leave us or retire.

 

If we are unable to attract and retain  additional  qualified  personnel,  our

future business may suffer.

 

Our business  strategy  requires us to attract and retain  additional  qualified
technical and marketing  personnel.  We may experience  difficulty in recruiting
qualified  personnel,  which is an  intensely  competitive  and  time  consuming
process.  We may not be able to attract and retain the  necessary  personnel  to
accomplish  our  business   objectives  as  our  business  develops  and  grows.
Accordingly,  we may  experience  constraints  that will  adversely  affect  our
ability to satisfy future  customer demand in a timely fashion or to support our
customers and  operations.  This could cause an adverse  effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

We will need to increase  the  size of our  organization,  and may  experience

difficulties in managing  growth.  We are a small company with a small number of

employees  as of  December  31,  2009.  We expect to  experience  a period  of

significant expansion in headcount, facilities,  infrastructure and overhead and

anticipate that further  expansion will be required to address  potential growth

and  market   opportunities.   Future growth will  impose   significant  added

responsibilities on  members of  management,  including  the need to  identify,

recruit, maintain and integrate additional independent contractors and managers.

Our future financial  performance and its ability to compete  effectively  will

depend, in part, on our ability to manage any future growth effectively.

 

If we are unable to protect our intellectual  property  effectively,  we may be

unable to prevent third parties from using our technologies  and methods,  which

would impair our competitive advantage.

 

We do not believe that our operations or products infringe on the  intellectual

property rights of others.  However, there can be no assurance that others will

not assert  infringement or trade secret claims against our company with respect

to our  current  or  future  technologies  or that any such  assertion  will not

require us to enter into a license  agreement  or royalty  arrangement  with the

party asserting  the claim.  Responding to and  defending  any such claims may

distract  the  attention  of our  management  and have an adverse  effect on our

business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Others may claim in the future that we have infringed  their  past,  current or

future  technologies.  We expect that participants in our markets  increasingly

will be subject to infringement  claims as the number of competitors  grows. Any

claim like this, whether meritorious or not, could be time-consuming, and result

in costly  litigation and possibly  result in agreements  covering  intellectual

property secrets and  technologies.  These agreements might not be available on

acceptable terms or at all.  As a result, any claim  like this  could harm our

business.

 

We regard the protection of our copyrights, service marks, trademarks, and trade

secrets as  critical  to our  success.  We rely on a  combination  of  patent,

copyright,  trademark,  service  mark and  trade  secret  laws  and  contractual

restrictions to protect its proprietary  rights in products and services.  When

 

9


 

applicable,   we  will  enter  into  confidentiality  and  invention  assignment
agreements with employees and  contractors,  and  nondisclosure  agreements with
parties we conduct  business with in order to limit access to and  disclosure of
our proprietary information.  These contractual arrangements and the other steps
taken to protect our intellectual  property may not prevent  misappropriation of
our  technology  or  deter  independent   third-party   development  of  similar
technologies.  We intend to pursue the  registration  of trademarks  and service
marks  in the U.S.  and  internationally.  Effective  trademark,  service  mark,
copyright and trade secret  protection  may not be available in every country in
which its services  are made  available.  In addition,  the laws of many foreign
countries  do not  protect our  intellectual  property to the same extent as the
laws of the United  States.  Also,  it may be possible  for  unauthorized  third
parties to copy or reverse  engineer  aspects of our products,  develop  similar
technology  independently or otherwise obtain and use information that we regard
as proprietary.  Furthermore,  policing the  unauthorized use of our products is
difficult.

We principally rely upon contractual restrictions to protect our technology. Our

contracts may not provide significant  commercial protection or advantage to us,

and the measures we take to maintain the  confidentiality  of our trade  secrets

may be ineffective.  If we are unable to effectively protect our technology, our

competitors may be able to copy  important  aspects of our  products or product

message, which could undermine the relative appeal of our products to customers

and thus could reduce our future sales.

 

Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual  property

rights, to  protect  our trade  secrets or patents  that we may  obtain,  or to

determine the  validity  and scope of the  proprietary  rights of others.  Such

litigation  could result in  substantial  costs and  diversion of resources  and

could have a material adverse effect on our future operating results.

 

We substantially rely on third party providers.

 

Our  future  success  for our  financial  products  depend  upon our  ability to
aggregate and deliver  compelling  financial content over the Internet.  We rely
heavily on third party content providers,  namely Thomson Reuters, Acquire Media
Corporation  and  Morningstar,  Inc.  Currently we have a one year contract with
Reuters  which calls for monthly  payments of $46,000,  a one year contract with
Acquire Media  Corporation  which calls for monthly  payments of $3,500,  and an
annual  contract  with  Hemscott,  Inc.  which was  subsequently  taken  over by
Morningstar,  Inc.,  which  calls for  monthly  payments  of $5,000.  All of the
aforementioned  contracts  provide for  automatic  renewal  unless both  parties
negotiate  otherwise  or unless  the  provider  is unable to  deliver  the feed.
Although  there are many  competitors to these feed suppliers and if necessary a
new contract could be negotiated, a temporary disruption in these feed suppliers
could  have a  negative  effect on our  business.  We also have  contracts  with
various stock exchanges and market quotation services including Nasdaq, the Pink
Sheets, and the New York and Toronto exchanges.  We supply this exchange data to
our  customers  on a  reimbursed  basis.  The loss of our data  feeds from these
exchanges and market  quotation  services  would  seriously  damage our customer
relations and likely result in a loss of our customers.

We are subject to compliance with securities law, which exposes us to potential

liabilities, including potential rescission rights as further described below.

 

We have periodically offered and sold our common stock to investors pursuant to

certain exemptions from the registration  requirements of the Securities Act of

1933, as well as those of various state securities  laws. The basis for relying

on such  exemptions is factual;  that is, the  applicability  of such exemptions

 

10


 

depends upon  our  conduct  and that of those  persons  contacting  prospective

investors and making the offering.  In most of these sales, we have not received

a legal opinion to the effect that these offerings were exempt from registration

under any federal or state law. Instead, we have relied upon the operative facts

as the basis for such exemptions,  including  information  provided by investors

themselves.

 

If any prior offering did not qualify for such exemption, an investor would have

the right to rescind its  purchase  of the  securities  if it so desired.  It is

possible  that if an  investor  should  seek  rescission,  such  investor  would

succeed.  A similar situation prevails under state law in those states where the

securities may be offered  without  registration  in  reliance  on the  partial

preemption from the  registration  or  qualification  provisions  of such state

statutes under the National  Securities  Markets  Improvement  Act of 1996.  If

investors were successful in seeking rescission,  we would face severe financial

demands that could adversely  affect our business and operations.  Additionally,

if we did not in fact qualify for the  exemptions  upon which it has relied,  we

may become  subject to  significant  fines and penalties  imposed by the SEC and

state securities agencies.

 

Our independent  auditors have expressed a going concern  qualification in their

report dated May 7, 2010.

 

Our independent  auditors have expressed a going concern  regarding our company.

Our  ability to  continue as a going  concern is  dependant  upon our ability to

achieve a profitable  level of  operations.  We will need,  among other  things,

additional  capital  resources.  Management's  plans include  concentrating  its

efforts  on  increasing  our  subscriber  base and  increasing  our  advertising

revenues.  We are also exploring the possibility of acquiring companies that are

synergistic with our existing business.  However,  management cannot provide any

assurances that we will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

The  availability  of a large number of  authorized  but unissued  shares of our
common  stock  may,   upon  their   issuance,   lead  to  dilution  of  existing
stockholders.

 

We are authorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of our common stock and 10,000,000

shares of preferred stock, of which as of December 31, 2009,  53,756,023 shares

of common  stock and  4,000,000  shares  of  preferred  stock  were  issued  and

outstanding. In addition, we also have also issued warrants and stock options of

which 47,105,000  are  outstanding  as of December 31, 2009, and 32,625,000 are

exercisable  at a  weighted  average  exercise  price of $0.30 to  purchase  an

equivalent amount of shares of common stock. Assuming exercise of these warrants

and stock options,  we will be left with more than 214,000,000  authorized shares

that remain  unissued.  These shares  may be issued by our Board of  Directors

without further stockholder  approval.  The issuance of large numbers of shares,

possibly at below market prices, is likely to result in substantial  dilution to

the interests of other stockholders.  In addition, issuances of large numbers of

shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Risks related to our common stock and its market value:

-------------------------------------------------------

 

There is a limited market for our common stock which may make it more difficult for you to dispose of your stock. Our common stock has been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “APTD” since January 15, 2001. There is a limited trading volume for our common stock.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any markets that may develop for our common stock, the ability of holders of our common stock to sell our common stock, or the prices at which holders may be able to sell our common stock.

 

11


 

The price of our common stock is extremely volatile  and  investors  may not be

able to sell their shares at or above their purchase price, or at all.

 

Our stock is presently traded on the OTC Bulletin  Board,  although there is no

assurance that a viable market will  continue.  The price of our common stock in

the public market is highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially because of:

 

         *     actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

         *     changes in or failure to meet market expectations;

         *     conditions and trends in the financial data and content provider

               industry; and

         *     fluctuations  in  stock  market  price  and  volume,   which  are

               particularly  common among  securities of  technology  companies,

               particularly new start-up companies.

 

In  addition,  the  securities  markets  have  from  time  to  time  experienced

significant price and volume  fluctuations  that are unrelated to the operating

performance of  particular  companies.   These market  fluctuations  may  also

materially and adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock.

 

Our common  stock is  subject  to the  "penny  stock"  rules of the SEC and the

trading market in our  securities is limited,  which makes  transactions  in our

stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes

the definition  of a "penny  stock,"  for the  purposes  relevant to us, as any

equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an

exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  For

any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

 

       o   that a broker or dealer approve a person's  account for  transactions

           in penny stocks; and

 

       o   the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to

           the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny

           stock to be purchased.

 

In order to approve a person's account for  transactions  in penny stocks,  the

broker or dealer must:

       

       o   obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of

           the person; and

 

       o   make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks

           are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient  knowledge

           and experience in financial  matters to be capable of evaluating the

           risks of transactions in penny stocks.

 

The broker or dealer must also  deliver,  prior to any  transaction  in a penny

stock, a disclosure  schedule  prepared by the Commission  relating to the penny

stock market, which, in highlight form:

 

       o   sets  forth  the  basis  on  which  the  broker  or  dealer  made the

           suitability determination; and

         

       o   that the broker or dealer received a signed,  written  agreement from

           the investor prior to the transaction.

 

 

 

12


 

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute  transactions  in  securities

subject to the  "penny  stock"  rules.  This  may  make it more  difficult  for

investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value

of our stock.

 

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of  investing in penny stocks in

both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable

to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative,  current quotations

for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases

of fraud in penny stock  transactions.  Finally, monthly  statements have to be

sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account

and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

 

We do not expect to pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be

limited to the value of our stock. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on

our stock in the foreseeable  future. The payment of dividends on our stock will

depend on our  earnings,  financial  condition  and other  business and economic

factors  affecting  our  company  at such  time as the  board of  directors  may

consider  relevant.  If we do not pay dividends, our stock may be less valuable

because  a  return  on your  investment  will  only  occur  if our  stock  price

appreciates.

 

A sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price

of its common stock to decline.  If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of

our common stock in the public market, including shares issued upon the exercise

of outstanding  options or warrants,  the market price of our common stock could

fall. These sales also may make it more difficult for the Company to sell equity

or equity-related  securities in the future at a time and price that the Company

deems reasonable or appropriate. Stockholders who have been issued shares in the

Acquisition will be able to sell their  shares  pursuant  to Rule 144 under the

Securities Act of 1933, beginning one year after the stockholders acquired their

shares.

 

The exercise of our outstanding warrants and options may depress our stock price

 

We currently  have  47,105,000 warrants  and options to purchase  shares of our

common  stock  outstanding  as of December  31, 2009,  of which  32,625,000 are

exercisable at a weighted  average exercise price of $0.30 as of equal date. The

exercise of warrants and/or options by a substantial  number of holders within a

relatively  short period of time could have the effect of depressing  the market

price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital  through

the sale of additional equity securities.

 

We may need additional  capital  that could  dilute the  ownership  interest of

investors.

 

We  require  substantial  working  capital  to fund  our  business.  If we raise
additional funds through the issuance of equity,  equity-related  or convertible
debt  securities,  these  securities may have rights,  preferences or privileges
senior  to those of the  rights  of  holders  of our  common  stock and they may
experience  additional dilution.  We cannot predict whether additional financing
will be available to us on favorable  terms when required,  or at all. Since our
inception,  we have experienced negative cash flow from operations and expect to
experience  significant  negative cash flow from  operations in the future.  The
issuance of additional  common stock by our  management,  may have the effect of
further diluting the  proportionate  equity interest and voting power of holders
of our common stock, including investors in this offering.

United Stated District Court, District of Colorado, Case No. 08-cv-01017 (MSK)

 

On May 21, 2009, the Company entered into a Release and Settlement Agreement with PBR (the “PBR Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and PBR agreed to settle all disputes and claims arising from and relating to the Company’s sponsorship agreement with the PBR.  Pursuant to the PBR Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to transfer an aggregate of 300,000 shares of common stock of two unrelated entities held for investment purposes by the Company.  In addition, the Company agreed to make payments to PBR, for each of its 2009, 2010 and 2011 fiscal years, equal to the lesser of $100,000 or 30% of the Company’s net profit for each fiscal year. As of the end of December 31, 2009, there is no liability for any profit payment to PBR because the Company has a $4.9 million loss in 2009.

 

From  time  to  time  we may be a  defendant  and  plaintiff  in  various  legal

proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. We are currently not a

party to any material pending legal proceedings or government actions, including

any bankruptcy,  receivership,  or similar proceedings . In addition, management

is not aware of any known  litigation or liabilities  involving the operators of

our properties that could affect our operations. Should any liabilities incurred

 

15


 

in the future,  they will be accrued based on management's  best estimate of the

potential loss.  As such,  there  is no  adverse  effect  on our  consolidated

financial   position,   results  of  operations  or  cash  flow  at  this  time.

Furthermore, our management does not believe that there are any proceedings to

which any of our directors,  officers, or affiliates, any owner of record of the

beneficially or more than five percent of our common stock, or any associate of

any such director,  officer, affiliate, or security holder is a party adverse to

our company or has a material interest adverse to us.

ITEM 6.   SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

 

N/A

 

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Some  of  the  information  contained  in  this  Annual  Report  forward-looking

statements (within the meaning of the Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act

of 1995) Some of the  statements  contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K

(the  "Annual  Report")  that  are not  historical  facts  are  "forward-looking

statements"  which  can  be  identified  by  the  use  of  terminology  such  as

"estimates,"   "projects,"   "plans,"  "believes,"   "expects,"   "anticipates,"

"intends," or the negative or other  variations,  or by  discussions of strategy

that  involve  risks  and  uncertainties.  We  urge  you to be  cautious  of the

forward-looking  statements,  that such statements,  which are contained in this

Annual  Report,  reflect our current  beliefs with respect to future  events and

involve known and unknown risks,  uncertainties  and other factors affecting our

operations, market growth, services, products and licenses. No assurances can be

given regarding the achievement of future results,  as actual results may differ

materially  as a result of the risks we face,  and actual events may differ from

the  assumptions  underlying  the  statements  that  have  been  made  regarding

anticipated  events.  Factors that may cause actual results,  our performance or

achievements,  or industry results, to differ materially from those contemplated

by such forward-looking statements include without limitation:

 

1. Our ability to attract and retain management, and to integrate and maintain

   technical information and management information systems; 

2. Our ability to generate customer demand for our products;

3. The intensity of competition;  and

4. General economic conditions.

 

Overview

 

We provide a broad array of financial  products and services  including in depth

market information from all North American exchanges and many of the  exchanges  in the Middle East.  We seek to grow our  subscriber base by  expanding  to  other  geographic  markets  to  meet  the  needs  of our increasing  subscriber  base, to diversify the subscriber  revenue stream and to mitigate our exposure to regional economic downturns.

 

18

We expanded our core products to include  advertising  aimed at satisfying  the needs of small,  mid-sized and large businesses with a desire to target specific demographics. This advertising service is unique in that it is  entwined  within  the  financial  products  and presented to the viewer for long periods during each business day.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to uncollectible receivables, revenue recognition, deferred revenue, and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical performance and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates allow us to make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

 

We believe the following accounting policies are our critical accounting policies because they are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and they require critical management judgments and estimates about matters that may be uncertain. If actual results or events differ materially from those contemplated by us in making these estimates, our reported financial condition and results of operations for future periods could be materially affected.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes subscription fees revenue and advertising revenue when the services have been provided. Revenues are recognized when they are realized, realizable and earned. Revenues are recognized on a pro-rata basis in consistent, equal increments over the term of contract.

 

Advertising revenues are often earned under contracts extending beyond a financial reporting period. The Company generally receives its monthly subscriptions in the month prior to the service being provided.

 

Accordingly the Company had deferred revenue of $524,383 and $737,010 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Cost of sales is comprised of data feed expenses charged by various stock market exchanges. The Company had no customer which accounted for 10% of the revenue during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

 

The Company occasionally licenses its technology to some customers. The Company recognizes its license revenue over the term of the license. The Company also develops modified products for customers. The Company recognizes development revenue as the services are performed.

 

The Company records deferred revenue when it receives cash receipts in advance of performing the related service. These advance payments received are considered a current liability.


 

 

 

 

 

Accounts Receivable and Bad Debts

 

The Company estimates bad debts utilizing the allowance method, based upon past experience and current market conditions. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had an allowance for bad debts of $4,449 and $3,449, respectively.

 

Result of Operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, total revenues were $4,542,531 which is a 25% decrease over fiscal 2008 sales of $6,075,031. The decrease in revenue is mainly from our subscription service and advertising program.  This decrease is directly attributable to the global financial market crisis impact and key employee loss.

 

Subscription revenues decreased to $2,435,251 from $3,027,619 in 2008 which is a 20% decrease. In 2009, to stop the decline in subscribers, we implemented a 15-month promotional program which effectively reduced user loss in comparison  with the rate of the financial market decline.

 

Advertising revenues decreased to $1,858,591 from $2,851,003 in 2008. Although we implemented premium exposure campaigns, the reduced financial activities in the market and the loss of key marketing personnel resulted in the 35% decrease in the advertising revenues.

 

Our cost of sales is primarily the cost to purchase and disseminate the financial content we provide our customers. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2009 the cost was  $1,545,606 compared to $1,854,268 in 2008. The percentage of cost of sales to subscription revenues was 63% in 2009 compared to 61% in 2008 due mainly to price increases from the major financial content providers. Most of our financial content costs are fixed, meaning that the data and exchange providers charge a flat monthly fee. As our subscription volume goes up our cost of sales does not go up proportionately.  Accordingly, as revenues increase in 2010 we expect the cost of sales percentage to decline. We also had $270 in other cost of sales in 2009 compared to $2,839 in 2008.

 

We have contracted with two companies for the services of two of the Company’s officers and directors. The officers do not own these companies but the compensation earned by them is to the future benefit of the officers.  Under the terms of the contracts entered into in 2005 the companies are to continue to receive a base salary of  $240,000 each per year.  The contracts also provide for annual bonuses equal to the annual salary and for stock options based upon performance levels. The companies did not earn bonuses for 2008 and 2009. The total compensation expense to these entities was $480,000 in 2009 and $480,000 in 2008. The contract with one entity has terminated as of December 31, 2009 due to the passing away of the executive officer. We recognized a one time employee death benefit expense of $3,200,000 under the terms of the contract for that executive.

 

We incurred $342,190 in professional fees in 2009 compared to $1,127,880 in 2008. The sum of $8,000 and $479,451 of this expense was paid in shares of our common stock in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The shares were valued at market value.  Professional fees include fees paid to accountants, attorneys and investor relation firms. We have reduced our professional fees by 70% in 2009.

 

We recorded research and development expense of $257,075 for 2009 compared to $468,884 in 2008.  This is a 45% reduction in 2009 compared to 2008. This expense reflects the cost of creating our digital media promotions, website enhancements, and development

 

20

staff. This is what keeps us at the cutting edge of technology and ensures that our clients, both advertising and our monthly subscribers have the latest in Internet products at their disposal.

 

We expended $355,648 for marketing in 2009 compared to $678,551 in 2008. This decrease is mainly due to the cancellation of the sports partnerships and lower marketing activities.

 

Our general and administrative expenses increased by 93% in 2009 from $338,749 to $655,326. The increase was primarily due to office rental charges for additional operating expenses. We expect the general and administrative costs will remain the same level in 2010.

 

There were $134,468 realized losses in 2009 comparing with $223,068 realized loss in 2008 on sale of marketable securities. There were $892,896 and $792,956 realized losses for other-than-temporary impairment of marketable securities in 2009 and 2008 separately. This loss was a direct result of the decline in the financial markets due to a lower share price in the majority of marketable securities held by the Company.

 

There was a $240,000 loss on forgiveness of debt in 2009, pertaining to the Company’s earlier write off of a liability in the amount of $240,000, compared with $307,974 gain on forgiveness of debt in 2008.

 

Total interest expenses were $238,527 and $374,397 in 2009 and 2008 separately. The decrease was mainly due to the related party 536653 B.C Ltd. reducing its loan interest rate from 20% to 3% as of July 1, 2009.

 

We realized a net loss of ($4,551,358) for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to a net income of $41,413 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Included in the net loss for 2009 and the net income for 2008 was $8,000 and $770,113 respectively as the value of options and shares issued for services, $892,896 and $792,956 respectively as the Other-than-temporary impairment of marketable securities. Excluding these non-cash expenses, the net loss for 2009 and net income for 2008 would have been ($3,650,462) and $1,604,482, respectively. We are trying to minimize the practice of issuing shares of stock for services.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

 

There was no financing from capital raising activity in 2009, compared to $197,500 through private equity offerings in 2008. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 we used net cash of $167,672 compared to $582,574 for the same period of 2008 in our operating activities. We had net proceeds from investment activity of $175,919 and $270,384 in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 

We expect that our 2010 cash inflows from operations may not be adequate to

cover cash out-flows from operations. We expect that we will need to raise approximately $1,000,000 from either increased advertising revenues, a private placement of our common stock or a loan to meet these commitments.

 

 

We are continually investigating acquisition targets and our stock may be required as part of the consideration for any acquisition.

 

 

We currently have no material commitments for capital requirements. We believe

that our capital inflows and our equipment infrastructure is adequate to handle

the expected growth in 2010.

 

We are not aware of any material trend, event or capital commitment, which would potentially adversely affect liquidity. In the event a material trend develops, we believe we will have sufficient funds available to satisfy working capital needs through debt or from funds received from equity sales.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary. This amendment to Topic 810 clarifies, but does not change, the scope of current US GAAP. It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and removes the potential conflict between guidance in that Subtopic and asset derecognition and gain or loss recognition guidance that may exist in other US GAAP. An entity will be required to follow the amended guidance beginning in the period that it first adopts FAS 160

(now included in Subtopic 810-10). For those entities that have already adopted FAS 160, the amendments are effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted FAS 160. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-02 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).

Effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and would be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-01 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

 

In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-14, Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements. This update changed the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This update addressed the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than a combined unit and will be separated in more circumstances that under existing US GAAP. This amendment has eliminated that residual method of allocation. Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions ofASU 2009-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

 

In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).

It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual periods that have not been issued. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-12 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

 

In July 2009, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by EITF (Emerging Issues Task Force) issued EITF No. 09-1, (ASC Topic 470) "Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance" ("EITF 09-1"). The provisions of EITF 09-1, clarifies the accounting treatment and disclosure of share-lending arrangements that are classified as equity in the financial statements of the share lender. An example of a share-lending arrangement is an agreement between the Company (share lender) and an investment bank (share borrower) which allows the investment bank to use the loaned shares to enter into equity derivative contracts with investors. EITF 09-1 is effective for fiscal years that beginning on or after December 15, 2009 and requires retrospective application for all arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009. Share-lending arrangements that have been terminated as a result of counterparty default prior to December 15, 2009, but for which the entity has not reached a final settlement as of December 15, 2009 are within the scope. Effective for share-lending arrangements entered into on or after the beginning of the first reporting period that begins on or after June 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the provisions of EITF 09-1 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal

control over financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to

provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding

the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial

reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, it used the

criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway

Commission (COSO) in Internal Control--Integrated Framework Based on our

assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over

financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's

registered accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered

public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and

Exchange Commission

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an

evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management,

including our Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to cause the material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file

or submit under the Exchange Act to be recorded, processed, summarized and

reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other

factors which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the

date we carried out our evaluation.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS,  EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND CORPORATE

 

 

The following table sets forth information regarding our directors and executive

officers as of December 31, 2009:

 

       Name         Age                    Position               Director Since

------------------- --- ----------------------------------------- --------------

 

Gordon J. Muir*     56     Founder, Chairman, Chief Executive      October 1999

                           Officer, President and Director

Katharine Johnston* 56     Vice-President                          January 2005

                           Director 

Lisa McVeigh*       46     Director                                January 2000

 

*  Member of the audit committee

 

The term of office  of each  director  of the  Company  ends at the next  annual

meeting of the  Company's  stockholders  or when such  director's  successor  is

elected  and  qualifies.  No date for the  annual  meeting  of  stockholders  is

specified in the Company's bylaws or has been fixed by the Board of Directors.

 

The following  information sets forth the backgrounds and business experience of

the directors, executive officers and key employees:

 

GORDON MUIR has served as a Director of  AlphaTrade  since  October 21, 1999. He

became Chief Executive Officer in February, 2000 and resigned from that position

and was appointed Chief Technology  Officer in January,  2004. Mr. Muir was reappointed as the President and Chief Executive Officer on August 10th, 2009 due to the illness of Ms. Penny Perfect our former President & CEO. Mr. Muir has been

an independent  investor and business  consultant since 1990. He was the founder

of Navmaster  Technologies,  a company  credited with  developing  the first GPS

charting  systems for the Marine  Industry that relied on optical imaging rather

than computers.  He has over 16 years experience in senior level management in a

variety of business mainly in the automotive and industrial industries.

 

 

KATHARINE  JOHNSTON  was  appointed  as a  Director  in  January,  2005.  As the

principal  financial  officer and  VP-Business  Operations  of  AlphaTrade  Mrs.

Johnston oversees all AlphaTrade financial transactions and department heads, as

well as interagency  relationships  with accountants and lawyers.  Mrs. Johnston

has been with AlphaTrade since its inception in 1999 and was appointed  managing

director in January 2005 and VP-Business Operations in February,  2007. Prior to

AlphaTrade,  Mrs. Johnston was a self-employed administrator and legal assistant

for over  fifteen  years.  Knowledgeable  in  British  Columbia  securities  and

regulatory  issues,  Mrs.  Johnston  sat on many  financial  boards and has vast

experience  in the  administration  and  management  of public  companies.  Mrs.

Johnston attended the University of British Columbia.

 

LISA McVEIGH has served as a Director  since January 21, 2000.  Ms.  McVeigh held the position of  Financial  Officer  with  British  Columbia  Film for over

fourteen years and now is a Financial Consultant.  Ms. McVeigh serves on the audit committee for AlphaTrade.com.

 

Family Relationships

 

Penny  Perfect,  our  former CEO,  President,  Chairman  and a member  of our  board of directors passed away on December 27, 2009.  She and Gordon Muir, our CEO and a member of our board of directors, were married to each other and both are founding members of Alphatrade.com. There are no other family relationships between any other Directors or executive Officers. With the exception of the foregoing, none of the other  directors and executive officers are related by blood, marriage or adoption.

 

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

 

Although we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined, we have traditionally determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to combine these roles. Mr. Muir currently serves as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Due to the small size and early stage of the Company, we believe it is currently most effective to have the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions combined.

 

Our Audit Committee is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes on behalf of our board of directors. The Audit Committee receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our company’s assessment of risks. In addition, the Audit Committee reports regularly to the full Board of Directors, which also considers our risk profile. The Audit Committee and the full Board of Directors focus on the most significant risks facing our company and our company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensure that risks undertaken by our Company are consistent with the Board’s appetite for risk. While the Board oversees our company’s risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our Board leadership structure supports this approach.

 

Board Committees

 

At this  time,  other  then an audit  committee,  the board  has no  committees,

including  nominating or  compensation  committee,  but we intend to create such

committees following the annual meeting and election of directors.

 

Audit Committee

 

The members of the audit committee are Gordon Muir, Katharine  Johnston and

Lisa McVeigh.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We adopted a Code of Ethics (the "Code of Ethics")  applicable  to our principal

executive,  financial  and  accounting  officer and persons  performing  similar

functions.  In addition, the Code of Ethics applies to our employees,  officers,

directors, agents and representatives.  The Company's Code of Ethics is intended

to  comply  with the  rules  and  regulations  of the  Securities  and  Exchange

Commission  and the  rules of the  NASDAQ  Stock  Market.  The Code of Ethics is

available,  at no cost,  from the  Company  upon  written  request to  Katharine

Johnston,  VP Business  Development of AlphaTrade.Com,  and a copy is annexed as

Exhibit 14 to the  Company's  Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSB with the SEC on

March 31, 2006.

 

Compliance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our  directors,  officers and persons

who own more than 10% of a  registered  class of our equity  securities  to file

reports of ownership and changes in ownership  with the  Securities and Exchange

Commission.  Directors,  officers and greater than 10% shareholders are required

by SEC  regulations  to furnish us with copies of all  Section  16(a) forms they

file.  Based solely upon our review of the copies of such forms that we received

during the fiscal year ended  December 31, 2009, we believe that each person who

at any time during the fiscal year was a director,  officer or beneficial  owner

of more than 10% of our common  stock  complied  with all Section  16(a)  filing

requirements during such fiscal year.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

 

We  believe  that the terms of all of the above  transactions  are  commercially

reasonable  and no less  favorable  to us than we could  have  obtained  from an

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Board Determination of Independence

-----------------------------------

 

Our board of directors has determined that Lisa McVeigh is "independent" as that

term is defined by the National  Association  of  Securities  Dealers  Automated

Quotations ("NASDAQ"). Under the NASDAQ definition, an independent director is a

person who (1) is not  currently  (or whose  immediate  family  members  are not

currently),  and has not been over the past  three  years  (or  whose  immediate

family  members  have not  been  over the past  three  years),  employed  by the

company; (2) has not (or whose immediate family members have not) been paid more

than  $60,000  during the current or past three  fiscal  years;  (3) has not (or

whose immediately  family has not) been a partner in or controlling  shareholder

or executive  officer of an  organization  which the company made, or from which

the  company  received,  payments  in excess of the greater of $200,000 or 5% of

that organizations  consolidated gross revenues, in any of the most recent three

fiscal years; (4) has not (or whose immediate family members have not), over the

past three years been employed as an executive  officer of a company in which an

executive  officer  of  AlphaTrade  has  served on that  company's  compensation

committee;  or (5) is not currently (or whose  immediate  family members are not

currently),  and has not been over the past  three  years  (or  whose  immediate

family  members  have  not  been  over  the  past  three  years)  a  partner  of

AlphaTrade's  outside auditor. A director who is, or at any time during the past

three years,  was employed by the Company or by any parent or  subsidiary of the

Company, shall not be considered independent.

 

Board of Directors Meetings and Attendance

------------------------------------------

 

The Board of Directors  has  responsibility  for  establishing  broad  corporate

policies  and  reviewing  our  overall   performance   rather  than   day-to-day

operations.  The primary  responsibility of our Board of Directors is to oversee

the  management of our company and, in doing so, serve the best interests of the

company and our  stockholders.  The Board of Directors  selects,  evaluates  and

provides for the  succession of executive  officers and,  subject to stockholder

election,   directors.   It  reviews  and  approves  corporate   objectives  and

strategies, and evaluates significant policies and proposed major commitments of

corporate resources.  Our Board of Directors also participates in decisions that

have a potential  major  economic  impact on our company.  Management  keeps the

directors informed of company activity through regular communication,  including

written reports and presentations at Board of Directors and committee meetings.

 

We have no formal policy regarding director  attendance at the annual meeting of

stockholders,  although all directors are expected to attend the annual  meeting

of  stockholders  if they are able to do so.  The  board  of  directors  held approximately 5 meetings  in 2009 either in person or  telephonic.  During both all of the board meetings,  all four  board  members  were  present,  either  by person or on the telephone in the case of the telephonic meetings.

Policy  on  Audit  Committee  Pre-Approval  of  Audit  and Permissible Non-Audit

Services of Independent Auditors

 

The Audit  Committee's  policy  is to  pre-approve  all  audit  and  permissible

non-audit  services  provided by the  independent  auditors.  These services may

include  audit  services,   audit-related  services,  tax  services,  and  other

services.  Pre-approval  is  generally  provided  for up to one  year,  and  any

pre-approval  is detailed as to the  particular  service or category of services

and is generally  subject to a specific  budget.  The  independent  auditors and

management are required to periodically  report to the Audit Committee regarding

the extent of services  provided by the independent  auditors in accordance with

this  pre-approval  and the fees for the services  performed to date.  The Audit

Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors

AlphaTrade.com

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of AlphaTrade.com as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.  The financial statements of AlphaTrade.com as of December 31, 2008, were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 30, 2009 except for Notes 1(n), 7, 8 and 11, dated March 23, 2010, and expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

 

We conduct our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 purpose 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 financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AlphaTrade.com as of December 31, 2009, and the related  statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, the Company has negative cash flow from operations and has deficits in working capital and stockholders’ equity  which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 9. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors

AlphaTrade.com

Vancouver, BC Canada

 

We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of  AlphaTrade.com  at December

31, 2008 and 2007 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity

(deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended . These  financial  statements

are the  responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our  responsibility is to

express an opinion on these 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  audits to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the

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

controls 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 purpose 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

financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles

used and  significant  estimates made by  management,  as well as evaluating the

overall financial statement  presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a

reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in

all material respects,  the financial position of AlphaTrade.com at December 31,

2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years

then ended in conformity with accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the

United States of America.

 

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared  assuming that the

Company  will  continue  as a  going  concern.  As  discussed  in  Note 9 to the

financial statements,  the Company has negative cash-flows from operations and a

working  capital  deficit,  which  together  raise  substantial  doubt about its

ability to continue as a going  concern.  Management's  plans in regard to these

matters are also  described in Note 9. The  financial  statements do not include

any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

 


 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of AlphaTrade.com is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

a. Organization and Business Activities AlphaTrade.com was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 6, 1995 as Sierra Gold Development Corp. It then changed its name to Honor One Corporation on October 29, 1998 and on January 6, 2001 changed its name to AlphaTrade.com (the Company). The Company provides both real-time and delayed stock market quotes to subscribers via the Internet.

 

b. Depreciation

 

The cost of the property and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful life of 5 years. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method when the assets are placed in service.

 

c. Accounting Method

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31 year-end.

 

d. Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

e. Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

f. Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash in one commercial account at a major financial institution. Although the financial institution is considered creditworthy and has not experienced any losses on its deposits, at December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company's cash balance exceeded Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits by approximately $-0- and $-0-. The Company’s advertising revenues are often collected in the form of marketable securities which are subject to limited liquidity and fluctuations in price.

 

g. Income Taxes

 

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred operating   loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by         a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

h. Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

 

The Company follows the guidance of ASC 605 in recognizing subscription fees revenue and advertising revenue when the services have been provided. Revenues are recognized when they are realized, realizable and earned. Revenues are recognized ratably, in consistent and equal increments, over the term of contract.

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Advertising revenues are often earned under contracts extending beyond a financial reporting period. The Company generally receives its monthly subscriptions in the month prior to the service being provided. Accordingly the Company had deferred revenue of $524,383 and $737,010 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Cost of sales is comprised of data feed expenses charged by various stock market exchanges. The         Company had no customer which accounted for 10% of the revenue during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

 

The Company occasionally licenses its technology to some customers. The Company recognizes its license revenue over the term of the license. The Company also develops modified products for customers. The Company recognizes development revenue as the services are performed.

 

The Company records deferred revenue when it receives cash receipts in advance of performing the related service. These advance payments received are considered a current liability, and are amortized to revenue over the term of the service contract.

i. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

 

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This update addressed the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than a combined unit and will be separated in more circumstances that under existing US GAAP. This amendment has eliminated that residual method of allocation. Effective prospectively for revenue

arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions ofASU 2009-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

The provisions of EITF 09-1, clarifies the accounting treatment and disclosure of share-lending arrangements that are classified as equity in the financial statements of the share lender. An example of a share-lending arrangement is an agreement between the

Company (share lender) and an investment bank (share borrower) which allows the investment bank to use the loaned shares to enter into equity derivative contracts with investors. EITF 09-1 is effective for fiscal years that beginning on or after December 15,2009 and requires retrospective application for all arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after December 15,2009.

December 15, 2009, but for which the entity has not reached a final settlement as of December 15, 2009 are within the scope. Effective for share-lending arrangements entered into on or after the beginning of the first reporting period that begins on or after June 15,2009. The Company does not expect the provisions of EITF 09-1 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

n. Marketable Securities-Available for Sale

 

The Company occasionally receives marketable securities as compensation for its advertising services. The Company's marketable securities are classified as "available for sale" because it is managements' intent to sell them within the year. All of the Company’s available for sale securities are equity securities. Accordingly, the Company originally recognizes the shares at the fair value of the services performed. The shares are evaluated quarterly using the specific identification method. Any unrealized holding gains or losses are reported as Other Comprehensive Income and as a separate component of stockholder's equity. Realized gains and losses and other-than-temporary impairments are included in earnings.

 

A company related to the Company by common management issued shares of common stock for advertising services, which are classified as available for sale.

p.   Common Stock Issued for Products and Services

 

The Company at times issues shares of its common stock to non-employees in exchange for various services and/or products. The Company determines the fair value of the common stock by noting the closing market quote on the date of issuance.

 

q.   Loss Contingencies

 

The Company has been involved in various legal disputes in which judgment and/or outcome is uncertain. The Company accounts for loss contingencies relating to its litigation based upon the likelihood of a negative result, and if the amount of the result can be reasonably estimated.

 

r.   Operating Segments

 

The Company aggregates its operations into one reportable business segment. The Company records and earns revenues from both subscriptions and advertising. Each class of revenue is produced in a similar manner and marketed to similar customers. Distribution methods are similar. Because of these factors, the Company has determined it to be unnecessary to segregate these two revenue streams as independent business segments. 

 

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

s. Investments

 

The Company accounts for its investment in non marketable securities using the cost method because the shares held are less than 20% of the outstanding shares of the investee. The investment was received as compensation for advertising services performed during 2009. The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a yearly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to the length of time and amount of the loss relative to cost, the nature and financial condition of the issuer and the ability and intent of the Company to hold the investment for a time sufficient to allow any anticipated recovery in fair value. There were no securities with unrealized losses which management considers to be other-than-temporary impairments at December 31, 2009. When cost investments become marketable they are reclassified to Market Securities-Available for Sale. Investments are as follows:

Professional Bull Riders, Inc. v. AlphaTrade.com,

United Stated District Court, District of Colorado, Case No. 08-cv-01017 (MSK) On May 21, 2009, the Company entered into a Release and Settlement Agreement with PBR (the “PBR Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and PBR agreed to settle all disputes and claims arising from and relating to the Company’s sponsorship agreement with the PBR.  Pursuant to the PBR Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to transfer an aggregate of 300,000 shares of common stock of two unrelated entities held for investment purposes by the Company.  In addition, the Company agreed to make payments to PBR, for each of its 2009, 2010 and 2011 fiscal years, equal to the lesser of $100,000 or 30% of the Company’s net profit for each fiscal year. As of the end of December 31, 2009, there is no liability for any profit payment to PBR because the Company has a $4.9 million loss in 2009.

 

From  time  to  time  we may be a  defendant  and  plaintiff  in  various  legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. We are currently not a party to any material pending legal proceedings or government actions, including any bankruptcy,  receivership,  or similar proceedings . In addition, management is not aware of any known  litigation or liabilities  involving the operators of our properties that could affect our operations. Should any liabilities incurred in the future,  they will be accrued based on management's  best estimate of the potential loss.  As such,  there  is no  adverse  effect  on our  consolidated financial   position,   results  of  operations  or  cash  flow  at  this  time. Furthermore, our management does not believe that there are any proceedings to

which any of our directors,  officers, or affiliates, any owner of record of the beneficially or more than five percent of our common stock, or any associate of any such director,  officer, affiliate, or security holder is a party adverse to our company or has a material interest adverse to us. The Company is subject to potential liability under contractual and other matters and various claims and legal actions, which may be asserted. These matters arise in the ordinary course and conduct of business. While the outcome of the potential claims and legal actions cannot be forecast with certainty, the Company believes that such matters should not result in any liability which would have a material adverse effect on its business.

 

Settlement Agreement

On May 21, 2009, the Company entered into a Release and Settlement Agreement with PBR (the "PBR Settlement Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company and PBR agreed to settle all disputes and claims arising from and relating to the Company's sponsorship agreement with the PBR. Pursuant to the PBR Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to make payments to PBR, for each of its 2009, 2010 and 2011 fiscal years, equal to the lesser of $100,000 or 30% of the Company's net profit for each fiscal year. There is no payment to PRB based on 2009 net loss.

 

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 740 which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. ASC 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions. The Company has determined that it has no unrecognized tax benefit, which would affect the effective tax rate.

 

At December 31, 2009, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10,782,244 that may be offset against future taxable income from the year 2009 through 2029. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2009 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

 

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years. Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of December 31, 2009 and 2008:

NOTE 8 - BASIC (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Common stock equivalents include convertible preferred stock and stock purchase options and warrants at exercise prices equal to or below the market price of the common stock.  Incremental shares have been considered in the computation of diluted earnings per share. 32,625,000 and 40,730,200 of common stock purchase options and warrants of were considered and excluded in the computation of diluted shares outstanding at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE 9 - GOING CONCERN

 

The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has recorded negative cash flow from operations and has a deficit in its working capital as well as in its stockholders' equity, which together raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In order to continue as a going concern and achieve a profitable level of operations,  the Company will need, among other things, to increase sales of its advertising and subscription services.

 

Management's plans to continue as a going concern include the following items: 1) Concentrating its efforts on increasing the number of subscribers to its stock-tracking product, known as e-gate thereby increasing sales and increasing the advertisers on the Company's web site and email program. 2) Continuing to increase its gross profit percentage by increasing sales.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the aforementioned plan and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE 10- GAIN (LOSS) ON SETTLEMENT OF DEBT

The result was recorded as a loss on settlement of debt in the amount of $240,000. 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2008 the Company incurred liabilities with an unrelated third-party pertaining to its advertising operations.  Through various legal negotiations, these liabilities were settled and satisfied for an amount less than the amount of the originally-recorded liability.  The result was recorded as a gain on settlement of debt in the amount of $307,974.
