Explanatory Note
The consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the related disclosures in this Amendment No. 1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A have been restated in accordance with the changes described below.
On March 20, 2010, during the Company’s year-end close procedures conducted during the audit of its 2009 financial statements, the Company concluded that it was necessary to amend this Quarterly Report in order to restate its financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to correct an understatement in the recognition of the beneficial conversion feature on notes that were converted during the three months ended March 31, 2009 amounting to $771,453 which was recognized as interest expense with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.
Accordingly, the financial statements and other financial information included in this Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been restated. The Company’s shareholder’s can no longer rely on Digitiliti’s previously filed financial statement for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

DIGITILITI, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Digitiliti, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instruction to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required under GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Digitiliti’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements, included in Digitiliti’s Form 10-K, have been omitted.
Restatement
The financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 14, 2009, contained an error related to the recognition of the beneficial conversion feature on notes that were converted during the three-months ended March 31, 2009. This error resulted in an understatement of interest expense and net loss by $771,453 for the six-months ended June 30, 2009.
To correct this misstatement, the Company recorded a noncash adjustment for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $771,453 which served to increase interest expense and additional paid in capital. This noncash adjustment resulted from an understatement in the amount of beneficial conversion feature recognized when certain note holders converted their notes during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The following table reflects the impact of the above error to the consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
The six months ended June 30, 2009:
                         
    As previously              
    Reported     Adjustments     Restated  
Interest expense
  $ 1,509,271     $ 771,453     $ 2,280,724  
Net loss
  $ 2,547,977     $ 771,453       3,319,430  
Loss per share — Basic and diluted
    0.08       0.02       0.10  
The above restatement served to increase additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit by $771,453, respectively, but did not change the amount of total stockholders’ deficit reported in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009. The above restatement also served to increase the Company’s net loss by $771,453 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, but this increase in the Company’s net loss was offset by noncash adjustments to amortization of discount on convertible debt, beneficial conversion feature on converted notes and warrant expense. Accordingly, the above restatement did not change the net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Reclassification
Depreciation expense reported in the statements of operations has been reclassified from operating expenses to cost of revenues. Accordingly, the prior year amount has also been reclassified to conform with the prior year presentation.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, (FAS 107-1) to amend SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments and APB 28, Interim Financial Reporting. FAS 107-1 changes the reporting requirements on certain fair value disclosures of financial instruments to include interim reporting periods. FAS 107-1 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption encouraged. Adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FAS 157-4), to amend SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS 157). FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased. In addition, FAS 157-4 includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (FSP APB 14-1). FSP APB 14-1 states that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14 and that issuers of such instruments should account separately for the liability and equity components of the instruments in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

Table of Contents

In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (EITF 07-5). Paragraph 11(a) of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No 133 Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133) specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF 07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. EITF 07-5 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008, and early adoption is prohibited. On January 1, 2009, we adopted EITF 07-5 and the adoption of this statement had no material effect on our financial statements.
In June 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached final consensuses on EITF Issue 08-4, Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to Issue No. 98-5. Certain conclusions reached in EITF Issue No. 98-5,
Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, were nullified in EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments. Moreover, some of the conclusions in Issue No. 98-5 and Issue No. 00-27 were superseded by SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. While the conclusions reached in Issue No. 98-5 were subsequently updated to reflect the issuance of Issue No. 00-27 and SFAS No. 150, the transition guidance in Issue No. 98-5 was not revised. On January 1, 2009, we adopted EITF 08-4. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events. This standard is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, this standard sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS No. 165 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ended after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this standard effective June 15, 2009, and has evaluated any subsequent events through August 14, 2009. The Company has disclosed these subsequent events in Note 6.
2. Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2009, have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As shown in the accompanying restated financial statements, we have incurred a net loss of $3,319,430 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and an accumulated deficit of $17,693,483 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
We continue to be dependent on our ability to generate future revenues, positive cash flows and additional financing. Management acknowledges that its ability to continue executing its current business plan, even on a short-term basis, is dependent on its ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in generating future revenues, in obtaining additional debt of equity financing or that such additional debt or equity financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.
3. Convertible Debt
12% Convertible Debt — $5.5 million Private Offering
In November 2008, we initiated a request to all of our 12% convertible debt holders to either extend their respective convertible debt for another 18 months or to convert their principal and accrued interest into common stock. As of June 30, 2009, $2,582,700 of the convertible debt was converted into 8,435,858 shares and $2,917,300 of convertible debt was extended for an additional 18 months. The total extended convertible debts as of June 30, 2009, was $2,917,300, with $199,800 net of discount of $0 due in the next 12 months; $835,000 net of discount of $96,832 due in the next 18 months; $812,500 net of discount of $237,401 due in next 24 months; and $337,000 net of discount of $124,262 due in next 26 months. In addition, the Company is in default on $733,000 convertible debt net of discount of $38,866 as of June 30, 2009.
In exchange for extending their convertible debt for an additional 18 months, we agreed to reduce the exercise price of the associated warrants from $1.50 and $2.25 per share to $1.00 per share, respectively for the A and B warrants. In addition, we agreed to extend the term of both the A and B warrants from 5 years to 6 1/2 years. Furthermore, the requirement of an effective registration was not removed in the case of extending the note.

Table of Contents

In exchange for converting their convertible debt into common stock, we agreed to reduce the exercise price from $0.50 to $0.35 per share. We also agreed to reduce the exercise price of the associated warrants from the $1.50 and $2.25 per share to $1.00 per share, respectively for the A and B warrants. In addition, we agreed to extend the term of both the A and B warrants from 5 years to 6 1/2 years. Furthermore, the requirement of an effective registration was removed to allow conversion.
We evaluated the extension event under FAS No. 15, EITF 02-4 and EITF 96-19. Because the investors did not grant concession on these outstanding loans, the transactions were not accounted for as troubled debt restructuring. Consequently, we evaluated these transactions under EITF 96-19, Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments, to determine if the modification was substantial. As a result, no gain or loss was recorded on the date of the extension since the modification in terms is not considered significant. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized $73,543 warrant expense associated with the extended debt under FAS 84 and charged the unamortized warrant discount to interest expense over the remaining life of the convertible debt under the new terms.
We accounted for the conversion event during the six months ended June 30, 2009, under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 84, Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt, and recognized expense totaling $99,388, which is equal to the fair value of the incremental compensation cost created by the modification of the exercise price of the warrants. The remaining unamortized warrant discount of $158,597 was recognized through Additional Paid in Capital under the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 98-5.
In addition, the contingency related to the contingent beneficial conversion feature was resolved on the date of conversion. The beneficial conversion feature calculated on the commitment date was fully recognized through interest expense and Additional Paid in Capital according to EITF 00-27. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, $2,312,700 of debt was converted and $977,029 of the contingent beneficial conversion feature was recognized into interest expense.
12% Convertible Debt — $750,000 Private Offering
In April 2009, we engaged M2 Capital Advisors, Inc. (“M2”) as a consultant to introduce us to potential investors to raise up to $750,000 from the sale of 12% convertible debt and warrants that are secured against the assets associated with our Pharaoh Business Fortress Storage Center, subject to certain other liens. Under the conversion terms, the debt was convertible into common stock at $0.35 per share, subject to an effective registration statement covering the underlying common stock that has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, for each $1 invested, the investor receives one warrant to acquire one share of common stock with a five year term at $0.50 per share. The warrants are callable at $0.01 per warrant, if the common stock of the Company trades for 20 consecutive days on its principal market above $1.50 per share, provided there is an effective registration statement covering the underlying common stock that has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In conjunction with the sale of the 12% convertible debt referenced above, M2 received a 10% introductory fee, which totaled $35,000 pursuant to a Consulting Agreement. These introductory fees were accounted for as deferred financing cost and are being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the convertible debt.
Through June 30, 2009, the Company has issued $350,000 in convertible debt and 350,000 warrants (Note 5) exercisable at $0.50 per warrant.
We analyzed the convertible debt and the warrants issued for derivative accounting consideration under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, and determined that derivative accounting is not applicable for these debts.
The convertible debt was evaluated for a beneficial conversion feature under EITF Issue 98-5 and 00-27, at which time it was concluded that a contingent beneficial conversion feature existed for a substantial portion of the convertible debt. The beneficial conversion feature was measured using the commitment-date stock price to be $173,973. In addition, the relative fair value of the warrants were measured using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to be $38,879 and recorded as a debt discount, which is being amortized over the life of the debt using the effective interest method. The total discount recorded was $212,852 and the unamortized balance at June 30, 2009, was $211,280.

4. Related Party Transactions
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we received the remaining $75,000 from a related-party under an on-demand note. This note bears interest at 1% above prime per annum.
In October 2008, we issued a $250,000 12% convertible debt to an individual. The debt can be converted into our common stock at $0.50 per share, subject to an effective registration statement covering the underlying common stock that has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The debt is guaranteed by a stockholder of the Company. In conjunction with this convertible debt, we issued warrants to purchase 150,000 shares and 100,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock with a five year term at $0.50 per share. During April 2009, the note became due. However, the debt holder agreed to extend the note for additional six months and was then provided additional warrants to purchase 125,000 shares on the same terms. The additional warrants expense, $26,997, valued using Black-Scholes pricing model (Note 5), was expensed in the quarter ended June 30, 2009, as interest expense.
In November 2008, we issued a $250,000 12% convertible debt to a stockholder. The debt can be converted into our common stock at $0.35 per share, subject to an effective registration statement covering the underlying common stock that has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In conjunction with this convertible debt, we issued stock warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of our common stock with a five year term at $0.50 per share. The note became due in April 2009. As of August 14, 2009, the Company is in the process of negotiation terms with the debt holder to extend the note.
Pursuant to a security agreement with the stockholder, our Pyramid software and vaults along with other intellectual properties serve as the collateral for the above guarantee, convertible debt and the related party note payable.
We analyzed the two convertible debt and the warrants issued for derivative accounting consideration under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, and determined that derivative accounting is not applicable for these debts.
Under the provisions of EITF Issue 98-5 and 00-27, we discounted the relative fair value of warrants attached to the debt and calculated the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the debt. The resulting discount of $210,974 is being amortized over the life of the debts using the effective interest method. The amortized amount for the six month ended June 30, 2009, was $196,441, and for the year ended December 31, 2008, was $44,699.

6. Subsequent Events
On July 29, 2009, we entered into a “Payment and Security Agreement” with one of our primary software providers that calls for accelerating monthly payments over an 8-month period that is calculated to satisfy our indebtedness to this vendor along with projected fees associated with annual software maintenance charges. This payment plan provides this vendor a lien on our Pharaoh Vault assets that is subject to certain prior liens.
On July 16, 2009, the Company entered into a “Settlement Agreement” with a prior vendor, 5X Partners LLC (“5X Partners”) that resolved outstanding compensation of approximately $100,228 owed 5X Partners for certain consulting services rendered during 2008. In lieu of any cash payment, this Settlement Agreement reflects the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 180,000 shares of our common stock to each of 5X Partners’ principals, Larry D. Ingwersen and Rod Johnson (individually), who were former directors or executive officers of ours, reflecting a price of $0.385 per share exercisable any time prior to June 1, 2014. In addition, the Company has agreed to issue 252,500 shares of our common stock to each of 5X Partners’ principals, Larry D. Ingwersen and Rod Johnson (individually).

We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim, any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
Plan of Operation
Our business is developing and delivering superior storage technologies and methodologies enabling our customers to manage, control, protect and access their information and data with ease. Our core business is providing a cost effective data protection solution to the small to medium business (“SMB”) and small to medium enterprise (“SME”) markets through our remote Pharaoh Business Fortress Storage Center. This data protection solution helps organizations properly manage and protect their entire network from one centralized location. Our solution can backup and restore emails and data on every machine in a network, including desktops, laptops, file and print servers. We provide storage through a “utility based computing” philosophy, where customers pay for the gigabytes of data they store in our Fortress Storage Center.
Through our Pharaoh Business Fortress Storage Center, we combine powerful, agent-less backup software with our remote, highly protected facility, to deliver to our customers an efficient and effective online-offsite data backup and restore solution. Our facilities enable us to provide offsite disaster recovery emphasizing intraday protection and restore for all of our customer primary data centers and geographically dispersed offices or campus settings. Our Fortress Storage Center is located in the base of the former Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank. It is a one of a kind facility providing web based on-demand backup/restore service (“digitiliti”) with all the benefits of direct fiber access to a “Level 5” data center. The Fortress Storage Center has 24/7 onsite physical security, including security guards, motion detectors, security cameras, card-key access, separate cages with individual locking cabinets and ladder racking. It also has battery generator back up power, temperature and humidity controls and fire suppression systems. Geographically, we are located at the center point of the Metropolitan area network. Being centrally located at the focal point of the Twin Cities Fiber Channel and Gig loop, the pipeline for data and load capabilities are immense.
The Fortress Storage Center houses all of the hardware and software needed for our “digitiliti” solution. At the customer site, “digitiliti” administrator software is loaded on as many or as few workstations as desired and requires a valid logon code, ensuring no unauthorized access. At the customer site, the administrator software console acts as the interface with “digitiliti” in the Fortress Storage Center and enables the configuration of all backups and restores. The “digitiliti” backup software is totally agent-less, requiring no additional software to be installed on any machines. From the customer administration console, the customer sets retention policies, schedules automatic backups and initiates restores. The customer decides what files to backup: emails, Windows, Linux, Mac, Lotus, AS400 or many more. Customers typically start backing up one system and then add more systems to their backup sets as they continue to see how easily our “digitiliti” solution works.

For large data volumes, the initial data backup may be downloaded to a portable disk unit at the customer site. When the full backup of data is complete, the disks are transported to the Fortress Storage Center where the data is loaded onto the equipment in the Fortress Storage Center. From then on, all data is backed up in incremental changes over the Internet. All data is encrypted before it leaves the customer site and when stored offsite. The encryption key is known only to the customer. The data can be unencrypted only by the customer, who would do so upon the need of a restore. If a customer loses their local data, they simply enter the commands to restore it via the administration console and data flows from the Fortress Storage Center back to the customer site. If the customer loses all data, “digitiliti” can restore the latest data to a location of the customer’s choosing using a portable disk unit. In addition to being encrypted, the data is also highly compressed, making it safe and impenetrable from viruses and optimizing customers’ storage costs per gigabyte.
We contract with XO Communications for our Fortress Storage Center space and communication lines. XO Communications provides voice, data and IP services to businesses and other telecommunications companies in 75 metropolitan markets across the United States. This relationship helps control capital expenditures yet maintains flexibility to set up a new data center in any one of 80 geographically dispersed locations throughout the world, thereby reducing any geographic concerns about our “digitiliti.”
As a result of our sales and marketing efforts of our existing product, Pharaoh, our customer base has expanded from approximately 20 in fiscal 2005; to approximately 100 in fiscal 2006; to 508 in 2007; to 731 in 2008; 722 as of March 31, 2009; and 726 at June 30, 2009. Correspondingly, our annual sales have increased from $402,638 in 2006; to $1,329,386 in 2007; to $3,075,308 in 2008 and $1,719,948 through the first six months of 2009. This reflects average monthly revenues in the range of $275,000 to $300,000, depending on customers’ month-to-month data growth. Despite the significantly improved revenue from sales, we continue to struggle with profitability because of investment in Pharaoh infrastructure (storage hardware and software licenses), new product development, and potential convertible debt repayment requirements (see more on our action plans, below).
Our primary focus in 2009 is to begin a shift in strategic direction. We considered a number of alternatives in our portfolio including selling our current Pharaoh Vault Business Service in order to satisfy needs for cash. Our reasons for making a strategic shift from current business to our future new product are: (i) to solve a major industry and customer problem of managing their continually growing information volume and associated cost of storage and retrieval; (ii) to be able to access a larger share of opportunity in the information management storage business; (iii) our new technology will offer significant technological advantages in corporate policy level control of information and ability to leverage knowledge from the information it creates; and (iv) our requirement to decide strategically how to apply capital and resources between our current and future business. We strongly considered selling the Pharaoh Vault Business. We signed a Letter of Intent (the“LOI”) to pursue this sale with a purchaser, after considering a number of alternative interested parties. From the LOI, we worked for three months to close on an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”). We could not agree to the terms of the APA, and therefore decided to end the negotiations. Out of that effort, we considered pursuing another potential purchaser or evaluating structural changes to take the Vault forward strategically. There is synergism in both the current and the new business and it is to our long term advantage to work out a strategy of moving forward with both and systematically transitioning to a new future business model, leveraging both information management, control, access and data archiving. Implementing this strategy offers potentially much more shareholder value, but will require a strongly managed effort between short and long term needs and goals.
We invested significant effort in design and market research in 2008, and, after missing our planned development schedule in late 2008, have been in intense development in the first half of 2009. We have implemented a rigorous product development approach, established a concrete architectural framework and a very specific product development plan, with key development milestones and with an automated test and integration system. We have restructured the product development team, and we are currently on schedule to introduce the new product in the third quarter of 2009 and begin generating sales at that time. We established three key milestones in our development plan, the first being a May 15, 2009, date to have the “reference platform” completed. This means that the basic technology underpinnings and performance capabilities of Pyramid are operational and meeting requirements. This “reference platform” is the core intellectual property we will introduce to the market and validated the feasibility of the approach. The second milestone was June 15, 2009. In this milestone, we began to integrate end user and back-office function. The third milestone was July 15, 2009, which constitutes Release 1 “Function-freeze.” We have successfully completed each milestone and expect to be in Beta with targeted customers in August, 2009. We have been demonstrating our capability for the past two months.

We have determined through these confidential meetings and demonstrations with industry experts, potential business partners and customers that our new product is positioned to achieve significant market opportunity. This is because we will offer a solution addressing the root cause of an industry-wide problem of data proliferation, volume growth, limited to no policy-level information control, and all of the associated cost and management problems that are a result — and we can solve these problems with significantly better cost performance and simplicity. Our new product represents a significant step toward our goal of becoming a technology leader in the data information management marketplace. This product offers a new approach to how companies store their information. But it offers much more than that. It will finally enable customers to control the information they create and access that information for competitive advantage. If successful, our new product will be game-changing in the storage and information management industry.
We are in the process of refining our “digitiliti” marketing deliverables,, our sales and marketing systems, our product packaging and go forward business plan. From industry feedback, we believe our new technology will establish a new standard for how current and potential customers will manage their information in the future. We believe we will introduce new, industry-changing capability to the storage solutions market and that we will accomplish this goal well ahead of any other potential competitor. Presently, we believe there are no competitors with our capability. We have high confidence in our development plan and our development team and believe our schedule and capability are attainable in accordance with our goals.
Our present financial situation does not currently enable us to invest funds in both current and new product technologies at the same time without raising additional capital. We require approximately $500,000 to roll out our new product and begin generating sales and approximately $1,000,000 to refresh the Pharaoh Vault technology. We have had, and continue to have, cash flow problems and have been aggressively taking steps to reduce overall operating costs as we conserve cash. Since 2008, we have reduced our annual salaries and wages by over 20%, while increasing operational efficiencies and lowering overall costs of goods sold. In the first half of 2009, we effected additional restructuring of our Pharaoh operations to increase profitability, address legacy Accounts Payable liabilities and made additional cost improvements to our infrastructure. As you will see in our Results of Operations below, we have improved our gross margin by 3% from the six month period ended June 30, 2008, to June 30, 2009, and reduced our Operating Expenses by 35% (or $ 1.2M) for the same period, even while investing heavily in new product development. We continue to raise additional capital (April 2009 offering, see below) to assure we have the financial resources to achieve our strategy, albeit that we are balancing our desire to aggressively launch our new product with the reality of available capital. We have agreed to a payment plan with our primary Vault software provider, Asigra. This payment plan addresses the approximately $550,000 past due licenses from 2008 as well as those licenses due in 2009 and first quarter 2010 of approximately $300,000. The payment plan addresses all of these costs, allocated in a monthly payment plan for the next eight months. Further, we have successfully restructured the remaining DataSales lease payment plan of $172,000 from four to eight months. The objective of these actions is allowing us to achieve break-even cash flow going into 2010.
Our overall sales and new product development have been funded, in large part, through our $5.5 million offering of 12% convertible notes initiated in March 2007, and our $750,000 offering with similar terms, secured against the Pharaoh Vault, of April 2009. Prior to implementation of the Modification Proposal (discussed below), these March 2007 convertible notes reflected a $0.50 per share conversion rate upon expiration of an 18-month maturity date, currently resulting in principal and accrued interest due of $1,334,770, estimated as of December 31, 2008. In addition, for every dollar invested, these convertible notes allowed each investor to receive one-half warrant to acquire one-half of a share of our common stock with a five year term at $1.50 per share and $2.25 per share, respectively. No warrant could have been exercised during the first six months and one day following issuance, unless there was an effective registration statement covering the underlying common stock that has been filed covering the shares underlying these warrants with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The April 2009 offering terms are 12% convertible notes for 24 months secured against the Pharaoh Vault, converting to $0.35 per share, and warrant coverage at $0.50 per share.

We directly contacted our convertible note holders to seek to restructure this debt by asking the holders to extend the due dates of their respective convertible notes or to encourage them to convert their respective convertible notes (the “Modification Proposal”). On November 13, 2008, as a demonstration of confidence in our current plan, and as an act of good faith, our Board of Directors unilaterally approved a reduction in the $1.50 and $2.25 exercise prices of the convertible note holders warrants to $1.00 for both classes of warrants. In addition, our Board of Directors approved an overall reduction in the conversion price of all convertible notes from $0.50 per share to $0.35 per share; the resolutions provided that the reduced conversion price would be retroactive to include any convertible note holders who had already elected to convert their respective convertible notes. $35,000 in convertible notes had already been converted at the time of these resolutions; accordingly, we were obligated to issue a total of 109,000 shares of our common stock for division among these holders. The table under Part II, Item 3, below, presents information about our convertible notes that are still outstanding following conversions and extensions of convertible notes under our Modification Proposal. Please see Part II, Item 3. Also, see Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements above. We continue to work with outstanding convertible note holders who have not converted or extended to satisfy their notes within the requirements of our available cash. With the emergence of our new product, we have been able to keep those note holders interested in the potential it offers and to date have not been subjected to any formal demands for payment.
Results of Operations
For the three months period ended June 30, 2009, and 2008
Our sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, increased $91,466 to $859,669, compared to $768,203 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The moderate increase in revenue between these two quarterly periods is a reflection of a leveling off of new customer growth that we began to experience in late 2008. While our core customer organic data growth has remained a consistent 2% — 3% percent growth per month, the overall economic downturn has slowed our new customer growth resulting in modest quarterly sales increases when analyzed against prior comparative periods. Yet, we still continue to heavily market our “digitiliti” service through regular attendance at industry tradeshows, enhanced website development, refining our product presentation, positioning and pricing models. And finally, we have continued to enhance our network of resellers throughout the country by providing strong dealer support services and offering a compelling pricing program.
Our quarterly gross profit reflects an increase of $8,183 with a gross profit of $315,551 in second quarter 2009, versus $307,368 in second quarter 2008. Although we experienced an increase in our gross profit of $8,183, our gross margin percentage decreased from 36% for the three months period ending June 30, 2008, versus 40% for the three months period ending June 30, 2009. This decease in gross margin percentage is attributable to economic pressure requiring us to re-price certain select customer accounts.
We have maintained this strong gross margin percentage by continuing to target larger profile customers through efficient customer pricing; and benefiting from our customers’ consistent increase in their organic growth. Again, we have learned that our sales and marketing efforts are better expended targeting larger customers in the Small Medium Business (“SMB”) and Small Medium Enterprise (“SME”) markets. We have learned how to sell our “digitiliti” service to this larger profile customer, which has increased our revenue, proportionately reduced our costs of revenue and has allowed us to leverage our infrastructure and efficiently bill for our customers’ data growth in our Fortress Storage Center vault.
Research and development expenses decreased from $641,792 to $242,372 comparing the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2009. This significant decrease reflects initial software acquisition costs incurred during 2008. Further, the reduced research and development cost incurred in 2009 reflects our budget and control efforts in developing enhanced storage service offerings that we can deploy through larger, more economical sales channels, thereby enabling faster growth.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased to $118,578 from $175,933 comparing the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, reflecting a decrease of $57,355. This decrease principally reflects our success in learning to market our “digitiliti” service to resellers who have the requisite expertise to produce immediate results. Further, we have not only learned to market our “digitiliti” service to larger profile customers, but also to larger profile and more technically proficient resellers, thereby resulting in increased sales with fewer (or more efficient) marketing expenditures.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $554,465 to $621,349 for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2009, compared to $1,175,814 during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2008. The considerable general and administrative expenses incurred in 2008 reflect the consulting fees, stock-based compensation and legal and accounting expense incurred as a result of our efforts in filing our Form 10 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission during 2008.
Interest expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $236,169 to $290,477, compared to $526,646 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. As a result of the initiative to request all of our 12% convertible debt holders to either extend or convert their respective convertible debt., during the 1 st quarter of 2009, we experienced a conversion of $2,312,700 of convertible debt into our common stock. Correspondingly, the reduced total of convertible debt resulted in a lower accrued interest total during the second quarter of 2009.
For the six months period ended June 30, 2009, and 2008
Our sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009, increased $388,539 to $1,719,948, compared to $1,331,409 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This reflects a 29% increase and primarily results from the average 2-3% monthly increase in our customer’s organic data growth. We still continue to market our “digitiliti” service through attendance at industry tradeshows, enhanced website development, refining our product presentation, positioning and pricing models. And finally, we have continued to enhance our network of resellers throughout the country by providing strong dealer support services and offering a compelling pricing program.
Our gross profit reflects an increase of $270,971 with a gross profit of $713,425 through June 30, 2009, versus $442,454 through June 30, 2008. Factors contributing to our strong gross profit totals are our deliberate targeting of a larger profile customer for more efficient customer pricing and continued increase in monthly organic growth of our customers’ data. In short, we have learned that our sales and marketing efforts are better expended targeting larger customers in the SMB and SME markets. We have learned how to sell our “digitiliti” service to this larger profile customer, which has increased our revenue, proportionately reduced our costs of revenue and has allowed us to leverage our infrastructure and efficiently bill for our customers’ data growth in our Fortress Storage Center vault.
Research and development expenses decreased from $936,871 to $332,879 comparing the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009. This significant decrease reflects initial software acquisition costs incurred during 2008. The reduced research and development cost incurred in 2009 reflects our budget and control efforts in developing enhanced storage service offerings that we can deploy through larger, more economical sales channels, thereby enabling faster growth.
Selling and marketing expenses decreased to $205,329 from $325,123 comparing the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, reflecting a decrease of $119,794. This decrease principally reflects our success in learning to market our “digitiliti” service to resellers who have the requisite expertise to produce immediate results. Targeting our marketing to larger profile customers and more technically proficient resellers has in increased sales with fewer (or more efficient) marketing expenditures.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $561,786 to $1,213,923 during the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $1,775,709 during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The considerable general and administrative expenses incurred in 2008 reflect the consulting fees, stock-based compensation and legal and accounting expense incurred as a result of our efforts in filing our Form 10 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission during 2008.

Interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2009, increased by $1,418,000 to $2,280,724, compared to $862,724 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This significant increase is primarily related to the contingent beneficial conversion feature associated with the debt converted during the first quarter of 2009 and the amortization of the discount associated with our convertible debt that resulted from those convertible note holders who chose to convert their notes pursuant to our Modification proposal discussed above.
Liquidity
Our liquidity is dependent, in the short term, on proceeds from newly issued debt and the sale of our common stock for cash. In the long term, we need to continue expanding our capacity of the Fortress Storage Center by investing in property and equipment and software licenses.
For the six months period ended June 30, 2009, and 2008
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we received proceeds of $315,000 from the issuance of convertible debt securities, which funded our cash used in operations of $188,672 and investments in property and equipment of $5,880.
Net cash used by operating activities during the first six months of 2009 was $188,672 compared to $1,190,683 during the first six months of 2008. Net cash used by operating activities during the six months ended June, 30 2009, was primarily impacted by:

Net cash used by investing activities during the first six months of 2009 was $5,880, related to the purchase of software licenses. Net cash used by investing activities during the first six months of 2008 was $471,728, reflecting the purchase of equipment and software license.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the first six months of 2009 was $189,970, primarily comprised of $350,000 from the issuance of convertible debt. Offsetting these items were $35,000 in payments of financing costs and $225,655 in principal payments on capital leases. Net cash provided by financing activities during the first six months of 2008 was $1,561,936, primarily comprised of $2,044,637 from the sale of convertible debt. Offsetting these items was $333,206 in principal payments on capital leases and $175,400 in payment of financing costs.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide disclosure under this Item 3.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is collected and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2009 that, as a result of the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as described further in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 1, 2009, disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective in providing reasonable assurance that material information is made known to them by others within the Company:
a) We did not maintain sufficient personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of generally accepted accounting principles commensurate with our complexity and our financial accounting and reporting requirements. We have limited experience in the areas of financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. As a result, there is a lack of monitoring of the financial reporting process and there is a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the consolidated financial statements, including disclosures, will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis; and
b) There is a lack of sufficient accounting staff which results in a lack of segregation of duties necessary for a good system of internal control. This control deficiency, which is pervasive in nature, results in a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management’s efforts to address these deficiencies in its disclosure controls and procedures is reflected in its commitment to providing continued education and training for our Chief Financial Officer and accounting staff to ensure the level of expertise required for a public company. In addition, management has budgeted in the coming year for additional accounting staff to address internal control weaknesses associated with lack of segregation of duties.
Changes in Internal Control over financial reporting
There have been no changes to our internal control in the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On July 13, 2009, we were made a party to a legal proceeding seeking recovery of unpaid compensation for alleged services rendered to us during 2008 and 2009. At this time, we dispute the nature of the alleged services rendered as well as the value of said services.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
This Item is not required of a smaller reporting company like us; however, various risk factors about us and our business prospects and products is contained in Item 1A of our Form 10 Registration Statement that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about August 13, 2008, all of which are still applicable to us.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Quarterly Period Ended June 30, 2009
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, our Board of Directors approved the issuance of the following equity securities to directors: 225,000 stock options to Karen Gilles Larson and Kedar Belhe (individually) granted on May 14, 2009, reflecting a $0.385 exercise price and that vest over a three year period. In addition, on May 1, 2009, our Board of Directors approved the issuance of 100,000 and 50,000 stock options to Dean Bruhn and Carlton Hanna, respectively, reflecting a $0.35 exercise price that vest over a three year period.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, a $250,000 12% convertible note held by a shareholder with a maturity date of April 20, 2009, was extended to October 20, 2009. In return for the six month extension of this convertible note, the shareholder released a Board member’s personal guarantee of this note and received 125,000 warrants reflecting at an exercise of $0.50 per warrant.
In April 2009, we initiated an offering reflecting the sale of 12% convertible note that evidenced a 24-month maturity date secured against the Pharaoh Vault with an option to convert principal and accrued interest at to $0.35 per share along with warrant coverage at $0.50 per share.
Subsequent to June 20, 2009
On July 16, 2009, in exchange for the discharge of an approximate $100,227 balance of unpaid compensation due a former vendor, 5X Partners, LLC (“5X Partner”) the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 180,000 shares of our common stock to each of 5X Partners’ principals, Larry D. Ingwersen and Rod Johnson (individually) reflecting a price of $0.385 per share exercisable any time prior to June 1, 2014. In addition, we agreed to issue 252,500 shares of our common stock to each of 5X Partners’ principals, Larry D. Ingwersen and Rod Johnson (individually).
We issued all of these securities to persons who were “accredited investors” or “sophisticated investors” as those terms are defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and each such person had prior access to all material information about us. We believe that the offer and sale of these securities were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Sections 4(2) and 4(6) thereof, and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Registration of sales to “accredited investors” and a limited number of “sophisticated investors” are preempted from state regulation, though states may require the filing of notices, a fee and other administrative documentation like consents to service of process and the like.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
None; not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information.
Currently pending is the extension of a $250,000 convertible note held by a former Board member. This convertible note matured on May 20, 2009, and we have been in discussions with this convertible note holder regarding acceptable terms that may be associated with the extension of this convertible note.
On July 31, 2009, Jonathan S. Miner and Pamela J. Miner resigned as directors and from their respective positions on our Compensation and Governance Committees. There were no disagreements between Mr. and Mrs. Miner and us regarding these resignations.
On July 13, 2009, we announced that as mentioned in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2008, we were evaluating strategic alternatives within the portfolio of our business, including the divesting of our Pharaoh Vault business. Although we had made a concerted effort toward that end, we could not reach agreement on key terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement with a potential purchaser, and we were unsuccessful in that effort.
