NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed financial statements and footnotes thereto are unaudited.

The Condensed Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Condensed Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 and the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared by us without audit, and in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, therefore, they do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly in all material respects our financial position as of March 31, 2012, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. We have evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Form 10-Q with the SEC, and determined there have not been any events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our unaudited Condensed Financial Statements.

The information contained in this report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS - Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc. (the "Company" or "Ace") began as promotional products company and has since evolved into an Integrated Marketing Solutions Company.

The Interactive vertical deals with any online marketing & branding initiatives. Utilizing the Ace Place Platform (a proprietary Content Management System); custom websites are created and total control of the site content is given back to the client. Through the Ace Place platform, a client simply chooses from one of the many web-design packages and has the ability to change the content on the site without the need for a programmer and the high hourly fees that go along with them. With this power, their websites become dynamic and powerful marketing vehicles instead of just an online static ad. For relevant clients, Ace can add an E-Commerce component to their website along with Email Marketing services to assist in marketing the site. As an additional service, each site can be housed on Ace’s servers.

The Direct Relationship Marketing vertical creates 1 to 1 relationship marketing Solutions. Ace’s strategy for delivering successful marketing campaigns utilizes specific databases to personalize messages across a wide array of integrated delivery mechanisms. Ace has expanded its capabilities beyond direct mail to incorporate variable data programming technology into web applications, telephony, email, and print. Ace’s Direct Relationship Marketing solution helps attract new customers and retain exist ones by targeting each identified demographic group through our various tools to get the intended message across with measured results.

The Company's fourth business vertical is the Mobile Marketing vertical. The Mobile Marketing advertising medium is set to become the next component of marketing spends as mobile marketing continues to gain more and more momentum. Technology allows advertisers to target and deliver rich media content to specific locations and times where it is most relevant. It gives advertisers the ability to reach consumers with their message as they are ready to make their purchasing decision. Ace Marketing & Promotions subsidiary Mobiquity Networks provides Location-Based Mobile marketing services via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi that requires no GPS tracking and no need to download and application.

Agreement with Simon Property Group, L.P.

In April 2011, we signed an exclusive rights agreement with a Top Mall Developer (the "Simon Property Group") to create a location-based mobile marketing network called Mobiquity Networks . The 50 mall agreement runs through December of 2015 and includes top malls in the Simon Mall portfolio. This new alliance will give advertisers the opportunity to reach millions of mall visitors per month with mobile digital content and offers when they are most receptive to advertising messages.

In connection with Eye Corp., Mobiquity Networks will deliver digital content and offers to shoppers on their mobile devices through Eye Corp’s extensive Mall Advertising Network. Eye Corp and Mobiquity Networks have an exclusive agreement to build a location-based mobile marketing network throughout Eye Corp’s Mall Advertising network. New properties to be added to the Mobiquity Networks portfolio will include iconic malls in the top DMA’s (designated market area) in the US. These prestigious malls further complement Mobiquity Networks’ portfolio of prominent malls including Queens Center Mall in New York City, Northbridge in Chicago, and Santa Monica Place in Los Angeles.

Ace's Location-Based Mobile advertising medium is designed to reach on-the-go shoppers via their mobile devices with free rich media content delivered using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. This advertising medium offers extremely targeted messaging engineered to engage and influence shoppers as they move about the mall environment. Eye Corp, along with Ace Marketing, will jointly create mobile marketing programs for existing clients in conjunction with their already active in mall advertising programs. Mobiquity Networks proximity marketing units will be strategically positioned in shopping malls near entrances, anchor stores, escalators and other high-traffic, and high dwell-time areas. Mobiquity Networks proximity marketing unit placement takes advantage of the opportunity to provide a reminder to consumers and touch them just before making a purchase decision. These units generate high awareness and brand recognition at the right time and place. When combined with the impact of other visual advertising mediums (in mall assets) or as a stand-alone medium, Mobiquity Networks is a great mobile solution to promote a brand on a local or national level.

NOTE 2: ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). This newly issued accounting standard requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions executed under a master netting or similar arrangement and was issued to enable users of financial statements to understand the effects or potential effects of those arrangements on its financial position. This ASU is required to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. As this accounting standard only requires enhanced disclosure, the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

ACE MARKETING & PROMOTIONS, INC.

(UNAUDITED)

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2011-05). This newly issued accounting standard (1) eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity; (2) requires the consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income; and (3) requires an entity to present reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements from other comprehensive income to net income. The amendments in this ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income nor do the amendments affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, which defers the requirement within ASU 2011-05 to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. During the deferral, entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect prior to the issuance of ASU 2011-05. These ASUs are required to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. As these accounting standards do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income, the adoption of this standard has not had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (ASU 2011-04). This newly issued accounting standard clarifies the application of certain existing fair value measurement guidance and expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (level 3) inputs. This ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this standard has not had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company. Management has reviewed the aforementioned rules and releases and believes any effect will not have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SELECTED SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and estimable in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”. There was no revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

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.

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share gives effect to stock options and warrants, which are considered to be dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic loss per common share was computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The number of common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of certain options and warrants that were excluded from the diluted loss per common share calculation was approximately $16,600,000 and 10,866,000 because they are anti-dilutive as a result of a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

NOTE 5: STOCK COMPENSATION

Compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions, including employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements utilizing the straight line method for the cost of these awards.

The Company's results for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 include employee share-based compensation expense totaling approximately $278,000 and $125,000, respectively. Such amounts have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within selling, general and administrative expenses. No income tax benefit has been recognized in the statement of operations for share-based compensation arrangements due to a history of operating losses.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

NOTE 6: STOCK OPTION PLAN

During Fiscal 2005, the Company established, and the stockholders approved, an Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan (the "2005 Plan") for the granting of up to 2,000,000 non-statutory and incentive stock options and stock awards to directors, officers, consultants and key employees of the Company. On June 9, 2005, the Board of Directors amended the Plan to increase the number of stock options and awards to be granted under the Plan to 4,000,000. In October 2009, the Company established and the stockholders approved a 2009 Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan (the "2009 Plan") for granting up to 4,000,000 non-statutory and incentive stock options and awards to directors, officers, consultants and employees of the Company. (The 2005 Plan and the 2005 Plan are collectively referred to as the "Plans".)

All stock options under the Plans are granted at or above the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date. Employee and non-employee stock options vest over varying periods and generally expire either 5 or 10 years from the grant date.

The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair values of these restricted stock awards are equal to the market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant, after taking into certain discounts. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our stock and other contributing factors. The expected term is based upon observation of actual time elapsed between date of grant and exercise of options for all employees. Previously, such assumptions were determined based on historical data.

The weighted average assumptions made in calculating the fair values of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012		2011

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $0.63 and $0.26, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable at March 31, 2012 is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the market price of the Company's common stock for the shares that had exercise prices, that were lower than the $0.85 closing price of the Company's common stock on March 31, 2012.

As of March 31, 2012, the fair value of unamortized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards was approximately $50,000. Unamortized compensation cost as of March 31, 2012 is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of .25 year.

The weighted average assumptions made in calculating the fair value of warrants granted during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

Overview

Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc. is a publicly traded company on the OTCBB under the ticker symbol: AMKT. The Company began as a promotional products company and has since evolved into an integrated marketing solutions company. Ace currently focuses on four business verticals; Branding, Interactive, Direct Relationship Marketing and Mobile Marketing.

The Mobile Marketing advertising medium continues to gain momentum in marketing spending. Technology allows advertisers to target and deliver rich media content to specific locations and times where it is most relevant. It gives advertisers the ability to reach consumers with their message as they are ready to make their purchasing decision.

Ace Marketing & Promotions’ subsidiary Mobiquity Networks provides location-based mobile marketing services via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi that requires no GPS tracking and no need to download an application. Mobiquity utilizes a targeted, location-based approach to reach audiences on their mobile devices when it matters most. Mobiquity employs a combination of leading-edge mobile technologies to deliver virtually any digital media content including images, videos, audio mp3s, maps, games, applications and coupons to mobile phones within targeted geographic locations.

The Company has built an extensive location based mobile marketing mall network which currently enables access to over 96 million mobile customer visits per month while they are shopping. Our network allows brands to engage their potential customers with the right offer at the right place at the right time....when they are about to make a purchasing decision.

Mobiquity currently has over 600 zones throughout 75 malls with over 96 million monthly visits to those malls. These zones create a cloud of coverage so that visitors do not need to go directly to one of these zone access points. Some of our land mark malls include, but are not limited to:

	·	Roosevelt Field - NY
	·	The Galleria – Houston

	·	Lenox Square – Atlanta
	·	Northbridge – Chicago

	·	Santa Monica Place – LA
	·	Copley Place – Boston

Location-Based Mobile Marketing combined with Out-Of-Home Advertising results in strong opt-in rates due to proximity of the Network. Through its subsidiary Mobiquity Networks, Management believes that Ace is the first Location-Based Mobile Marketing Company focused on US shopping malls and has built and controls the only national proximity marketing mall network. An exclusive contract with leading Out-Of-Home advertising company, Eye Corp. will enable Ace to remain a leader in US malls. According to the agreement, Eye Corp. is exclusive to Ace for five years. Eye Corp. is a subsidiary of Ten Network Holdings, a public company with its headquarters in Australia. Eye Corp. has an exclusive agreement with Simon Malls to manage their non-digital assets in all mall properties and has a full-time sales force that maintains relationships with over 800 brands. The sales team of Eye Corp. will be paid a commission and will be required to fulfill a sales quota on Mobiquity proximity products. Discussions have begun between Eye Corp. and Ace about expanding their exclusive relationship to global malls and airports.

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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and disclosures on the date of the financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition. We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for making judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements.

REVENUE RECOGNITION . Revenues are recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer and the earnings process is complete. In general, title passes to our customers upon the customer's receipt of the merchandise. Revenue is accounted by reporting revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis since our company has the risks and rewards of ownership, latitude in selection of vendors and pricing, and bears all credit risk. Our company records all shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues, and related costs as cost of goods sold, when incurred.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. We are required to make judgments based on historical experience and future expectations, as to the realizability of our accounts receivable. We make these assessments based on the following factors: (a) historical experience, (b) customer concentrations, (c) customer credit worthiness, (d) current economic conditions, and (e) changes in customer payment terms.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. The Company records compensation expense associated with stock options and other equity-based compensation. Share-based compensation expense is determined based on the grant-date fair value estimated using the Black Scholes method. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth certain selected unaudited condensed statement of operations data for the periods indicated in dollars and as a percentage of total net revenues. The following discussion relates to our results of operations for the periods noted and is not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any other interim period or any future fiscal year. In addition, we note that the period-to-period comparison may not be indicative of future performance.

	Three Months Ended March 31
	2012			2011
Revenue	$	517,317		$	647,770
Cost of Revenues	$	419,658		$	464,782
Gross Profit	$	97,659		$	182,988
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses	$	1,001,845		$	618,118
(Loss) from Operations	$	(904,186	)	$	(435,130	)

We generated revenues of $517,317 in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $647,770 in the same three month period ending March 31, 2011. The decrease in revenues of $130,453 in 2012 compared to 2011 was due to the downturn in the overall economy.

Cost of revenues was $419,658 or 81.1% of revenues in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $464,782 or 71.7% of revenues in the same three months of 2011. Cost of revenues includes purchases and freight costs associated with the shipping of merchandise to our customers. Decrease in cost of revenues of $45,124 in 2012 is related to a decrease in merchandise purchased due to the downturn in sales to our customers during the current quarter ending March 31, 2012.

Gross profit was $97,659 in the first quarter of 2012 or 18.9% of net revenues compared to $182,988 in the same three months of 2011 or 28.3% of revenues. Gross profits will vary period-to-period depending upon a number of factors including the mix of items sold, pricing of the items and the volume of product sold. Also, it is our practice to pass freight costs on to our customers. Reimbursement of freight costs which are included in revenues have lower profit margins than sales of our promotional products and has the effect of reducing our overall gross profit margin on sales of products, particularly on smaller orders.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $1,001,845 in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $618,118 in the same three months of 2011. Such costs include payroll and related expenses, commissions, insurance, rents, professional, consulting and public awareness fees.

Net loss was $(904,186) in the first quarter of 2012 compared to a net loss of $(435,130) for the same three months in 2011. The first quarter net loss for 2012 includes stock based payments (non-cash) of $278,307 as compared to $124,523 for the comparable period of 2011. Our 2012 net loss increased by $469,056 due to our increased efforts in promoting our business verticles which generated increased costs in salaries of $64,622 rents $150,000 and depreciation on our new proximity equipment of $31,043. No benefit for income taxes is provided for in 2012 and 2011 due to the full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets.

Mobiquity Networks

In February 2012, we announced our plans to have the architecture for our proprietary mobile marketing solutions; “Mall-Offers Wi-Fi” and “malloffers.com” completed by the end of the first quarter of 2012 and that we would begin to rollout the solutions on our nationwide Mobiquity Network by the end of second quarter of 2012. Mobiquity Networks is currently operational in 75 malls across the US and has access to approximately 96 million shopper visits per month.

The Mall-Offers Platform will list specials from retailers in each mall throughout the Mobiquity Network. The specials will be accessible on the secured Wi-Fi network that Mobiquity has already installed in each of its 75 malls across the US. Shoppers with smart phones will simply connect to “Mall-Offers Wi-Fi” and browse by either retailer or category on their mobile device. The solution will not require the shopper to download an app and access to Mall Offers will be completely free for the user. Malloffers.com is a website that aggregates all of the special offers, coupons and discounts offered by all of the participating retailers in all of the malls within the Mobiquity Network. Consumers will have the ability to search for specials by mall, store name or category prior to going to the mall or on their mobile devices. This will help the consumer to choose which mall to visit as well as which store within the mall to purchase their item of interest. The website will also offer consumers the ability to register for special alerts from their favorite stores. The consumer can choose to receive an email or text whenever their favorite store has a special offer.

Our Mall-Offers Platform should help address the mobile marketing industry’s single largest issue, which is delivering relevant offers to consumers at the point of purchase. Management believes that most mall retailers desire to have a mobile marketing strategy but haven’t figured out how to get in front of consumers at the point of sale. The Mall-Offers Platform gives us the ability to offer the hundreds of retailers in each mall within the Mobiquity Network a true mobile marketing solution. In 2012 both companies and their sales agencies now realize the implementation of a mobile strategy is now a necessity. The activation needs to go beyond simple banner and pop-up ads on a mobile website or the development of an app. Consumers are seeking relevant content and valuable offers, not ambush advertising. The new Mall Offers Wi-Fi Network will give retailers and company brands access to consumers and consumers’ access to the offers they want to see.

As a result of the foregoing, Management is excited to have several million dollars of proposals that we have provided to fortune 500 and other companies (and their advertising agencies) and Management believes that with a three to six month sales cycle that we are operating under with most of these large companies, that a significant ramp up of sales across our network will be realized during the 3 rd and 4 th quarters of 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $493,908 at March 31, 2012. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $543,657. This resulted primarily from a net loss of $904,070, offset by stock based compensation of $278,307 a decrease in accounts receivable of $249,914 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $53,979 and an increase of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $160,178. The Company had an increase in investing activities of $25,610 with the purchase of equipment.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $992,535 at March 31, 2011. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $182,471. This resulted primarily from a net loss of $435,006, offset by stock based compensation of $124,523 an increase in accounts receivable of $47,507 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $18,301 and a decrease of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $176,514. The Company had an increase in investing activities of $36,575 with the purchase of equipment.

Our Company commenced operations in 1998 and was initially funded by our three founders, each of whom has made demand loans to our Company that have been repaid. Since 1999, we have relied primarily on equity financing from outside investors to supplement our cash flow from operations.

We anticipate that our future liquidity requirements will arise from the need to finance our accounts receivable and inventories, hire additional sales persons, capital expenditures and possible acquisitions. The primary sources of funding for such requirements will be cash generated from operations, raising additional capital from the sale of equity or other securities and borrowings under debt facilities which currently do not exist. We believe that we can generate sufficient cash flow from these sources to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. In the event we should need additional financing, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to obtain financing on terms satisfactory to us, if at all.

Recent Financings

In the past two fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and the period January 1, 2012 through January 31, 2017, the Company completed the following private placement offerings with non-affiliated persons except as otherwise noted:

In August 2010, the Company raised $175,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of 437,500 shares and a like number of Warrants expiring in August 2013. The investor paid $0.40 per Share and received Warrants exercisable at $0.60 per Share. In November 2010, the Company commenced a plan of financing and raised an additional $800,500 in financing from the sale of 2,934,999 Shares of its restricted Common Stock at $0.30 per Share and Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase a like number of Shares, exercisable at $0.30 per Share through August 31, 2013. Subsequent to the completion of the second financing, the Company agreed to adjust the terms of the August 2010 transaction and issue to the August 2010 investor Shares and Warrants on the same terms as those sold in November - December 2010. Accordingly, an additional 145,833 Shares and a like number of Warrants were issued to the August 2010 investor, with the exercise price of the Warrants being lowered from $0.60 per Share to $0.30 per Share. All securities will be issued pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In March 2011, the Company commenced a private placement offering. Pursuant to said offering between March 29, 2011 and April 19, 2011, the Company raised $755,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of 2,516,666 shares of common stock and a like number of warrants, exercisable at $.30 per share through August 31, 2013. Exemption is claimed for the sale of securities pursuant to Rule 506 and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In July 2011, the Company commenced a private placement offering. Pursuant to said offering between July14, 2011 and August 1, 2011, the Company raised $975,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of 1,950,000 shares of common stock and a like number of warrants, exercisable at $.60 per share through July 31, 2014. Of the $975,000, $250,000 was invested by Thomas Arnost who later became a director of the Company in December 2011. Mr. Arnost received 500,000 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase 500,000 shares in the offering. Exemption is claimed for the sale of securities pursuant to Rule 506 and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On January 30, 2012, the Company’s private placement offering was terminated. Rockwell Global Capital LLC acted as Placement Agent. The Company received gross proceeds of $575,000 from the sale of 958,338 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $.60 per share. The private placement offering also included the sale of Warrants to purchase 191,671 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at $.60 per share and expiring on January 18, 2016. The Placement Agent received a $25,000 advisory fee, $51,750 in commissions and warrants to purchase 95,833 shares identical to the warrants sold to investors in the offering. Exemption is claimed for the sale of securities pursuant to Rule 506 and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Company is required to file a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock sold in the private placement offering and the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Class AA Warrants (collectively the “Registrable Shares”). If a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Shares is not filed with the SEC on or before March 15, 2012 or is not declared effective within 120 days of January 30, 2012 (subject to a 60 day extension in the event the SEC is performing a full review of the Registration Statement), the Company shall pay to each investor as liquidated damages, a payment equal to 1.5% of the aggregate amount invested by such investor in the offering, cumulative for every 30 day period until such Registration Statement has been filed or declared effective or a portion thereof. Such liquidated damages shall not exceed 15% per annum. The Company, at its sole discretion, shall pay the liquidated damage payment in cash and/or Common Stock of the Company based upon the closing sale price of the Company’s Common Stock on the trading day preceding the date triggering the payment of the liquidated damages.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our short term money market investments. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure. The Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, an evaluation was performed on the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
