PART I
Company History
Warp 9, Inc. (“Warp 9” or the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation formerly known as Roaming Messenger, Inc., formerly known as Latinocare Management Corporation (“LMC”). On August 24, 2006, the Company’s board of directors and majority shareholders voted to change the name of the Company from Roaming Messenger, Inc. to Warp 9, Inc. to reflect a new strategic plan of focusing primarily on the business of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Warp 9, Inc., a Delaware corporation that is an e-commerce Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) provider.
General
We are a provider of e-commerce software platforms and services for the catalog and retail industry. Our suite of software platforms are designed to help multi-channel retailers maximize the Internet channel by applying our technologies for online e-commerce, e-mail marketing campaigns, and interactive visual merchandising. Offered as an outsourced and fully managed Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) model, our products allow customers to focus on their core business, rather than technical implementations and software and hardware architecture, design, and maintenance. We also offer professional services to our clients which include online catalog design, merchandizing and optimization, order management, e-mail marketing campaign development, integration to third party payment processing and fulfillment systems, analytics, custom reporting and strategic consultation.
Our products and services allow our clients to lower costs and focus on promoting and marketing their brand, product line and website while leveraging the investments we have made in technology and infrastructure to operate a dynamic online Internet presence.
We charge our customers a monthly fee for using our e-commerce software based on a Software-as-a-Service model. These recurring fees include fixed monthly charges, and variable fees based on the sales volume of our clients’ e-commerce websites. Unlike traditional software companies that sell software on a perpetual license where quarterly and annual revenues are quite difficult to predict, our SaaS model spreads the collection of contract revenue over several quarters or years and makes our revenues more predictable for a longer period of time.
While the Warp 9 Internet Commerce System (“ICS”) is our flagship and highest revenue product, we have developed and deployed new products based on a proprietary virtual publishing technology. These new products allow for the creation of interactive web versions of paper catalogs and magazines where users can flip through pages with a mouse and click on products or advertisements. These magazines or catalogs have built-in integration for e-commerce transactions through our ICS product and other transaction based activities. Accordingly, when shoppers click on a product, they are taken to the e-commerce product page where they can add that product to their shopping cart for purchasing. Clients utilizing this technology have discovered when exposing consumers to the virtual catalogs, a higher average order size and significant increase in rate of conversion result. We have sold this solution on a limited basis while we continue to refine the product and technology. We believe there could be many markets for our virtual catalog and magazine technology and we expect to test market these new products in the future.
On October 23, 2007, we licensed our patent-pending mobile technology and certain trademarks on a non-exclusive basis to Zingerang Software. Under the terms of the agreement, Warp 9 will retain ownership of the technology and trademarks, as well as any improvements and derivatives created by Zingerang Software. Warp 9 is entitled to receive royalties based on revenues from sales if any, generated by Zingerang Software. This agreement allows us to enhance and augment our technology and intellectual property portfolio without using direct resources, and still allows us to seek other licensing options in the future. To date, we have not yet generated any revenue from our licensing efforts.
Industry Overview
We believe there are a number of factors that are contributing to the growth of e-commerce: (i) adoption of the Internet continues to increase globally; (ii) broadband technology is becoming more widely available and the adoption of broadband for Internet use is increasing at a rapid rate; (iii) Internet users are increasingly comfortable with the process of buying products online; (iv) the functionality of online stores continues to improve, a greater range of payment options are available, and special offers and shipping discounts are making online shopping more attractive; (v) businesses are placing more emphasis on their online stores as they can reach a larger audience at a comparatively lower cost than the methods used to drive traffic to traditional brick-and-mortar retail stores or sell through printed paper catalogs. As a result of these growth drivers, retailers and catalogers have begun to build large, global customer bases that can be reached cost-effectively, potentially resulting in higher sales and profitability.
Opportunities for Outsourced e-Commerce
We believe there are advantages to outsourced e-commerce that will continue to make solutions like those of Warp 9 an attractive alternative to building and maintaining this capability in-house. These advantages include: (i) eliminating the substantial up-front and ongoing costs of computer hardware, network infrastructure and specialized application software and personnel; (ii) reducing the time it takes to get online stores live and productive; (iii) shifting the ongoing technology, financial, regulatory and compliance risks to a proven service provider; (iv) leveraging the expertise of an e-commerce service provider to accelerate growth of an online business; and (v) allowing businesses to focus on their specific core competencies.
Technology Products
We primarily offer four proprietary software systems to our customers – e-commerce, e-mail marketing, virtual catalog publishing, and virtual magazine publishing. It is our product development goal to create other complementary systems to deliver a fully integrated platform for a successful e-commerce operation.
Warp 9 Internet Commerce System (Warp 9 ICS)
The Warp 9 ICS, our flagship product, is an enterprise-grade software system that enables catalogers and retailers to expand their operation to the Internet with minimal investment, overhead and risk. A business does not need to invest in new hardware or software in order to utilize the Warp 9 ICS, because it is offered as a fully managed online e-commerce system hosted in our internet datacenter. With a range of easy to use and highly customizable features for product presentation as well store management, Warp 9 ICS satisfies many of the current and next generation requirements of catalogers and retailers. We charge our customers a recurring monthly fee for using the Warp 9 ICS software based on 12, 24 and 36 month term agreements. There are various pricing packages for Warp 9 ICS, depending on the customer’s desired level of scalability and reliability.
Warp 9 ICS is designed with a highly scalable enterprise architecture that allows us to provide our customers with maximum performance and system uptime. As our customer base or transaction volume grows, we simply add new servers, CPUs, memory and bandwidth without substantial changes to the ICS software. The high end version of the Warp 9 ICS offering operates on a cluster of load balanced and fault-tolerant servers in our onsite datacenter. If a server in the cluster fails for any reason, the architecture shifts the traffic to other available servers, thus minimizing downtime and disruption to our customers’ mission critical e-commerce websites.
Warp 9 E-mail Marketing System (Warp 9 EMS)
Warp 9 EMS is a web-based e-mail campaign and list management system designed for high performance and reliability. EMS's sophisticated technology allow our clients to send targeted e-mail campaigns that help grow, retain and maximize the lifetime value of their customers. Through content personalization and list segmentation, campaign efforts result in higher response rates, higher conversion rates and improved customer loyalty. E-mail marketing systems, such as Warp 9 EMS, enable unprecedented response times that are not achievable through traditional forms of direct marketing. ICS customers can also purchase EMS to complement their online e-commerce strategy.
Warp 9 Virtual Catalog System (Warp 9 VCS)
Warp 9 VCS creates an interactive digital experience for online customers. The VCS product creates a unique shopping environment using Warp 9’s virtual publishing technology to deliver an increase in multi-channel sales. Readers can bend and flip through virtual pages as they read the online catalog, zoom into product descriptions and images, and click on products to bring them to the relevant transactional e-commerce product pages. Warp 9's virtual publishing technology transforms a catalog from a static medium to a dynamic, interactive, and transactional medium. VCS product allows the cataloger to extend the life of a print property and allows for increased conversion rates.
Warp 9 Virtual Magazine System (Warp 9 VMS)
Warp 9 VMS is an interactive magazine publishing interface with enhanced features which creates an extremely appealing and interactive digital experience of a print magazine for online viewers. Readers are engaged with an experience that mimics the paper version of the magazine, allowing readers to bend and flip through virtual pages as they read the online magazine, zoom into articles and pictures, and click on advertisements. The VMS product allows a magazine publisher to extend the life of a print property and adds value to advertisers by creating additional revenue opportunities by providing a shorter, more direct path between readers and advertisers.
Professional Services
Our customers are not technology companies and have varying internal expertise in the areas of e-commerce, online marketing and web technologies. To provide a complete solution to our customers, we also offer professional services to help our customers maximize the use of our technology or other online e-commerce technologies. Professional services include but not limited to e-commerce web page template development, e-mail campaign content creation, custom system configuration, graphic design, management of online marketing programs, and integration to backend business systems.
Site Design and Development
We offer our clients site design services that utilize our experience and expertise to create efficient and effective online stores powered by Warp 9 ICS. Our e-commerce solutions can be deployed quickly for our clients and implemented in a variety of ways from simple shopping websites to complex systems that integrate to backend inventory management systems. This is all done by maximally using the feature set of Warp 9 ICS.
Merchandizing and Promotions Design
The Warp 9 ICS technology platform supports a wide range of merchandising activities. On an ongoing basis, we help our clients create effective promotional activities, up-sell, cross-sell as well as promote featured products during any phase of the shopping process. By doing so, our professional services team continues to work with our clients to deliver targeted offers designed to increase conversion ratios and average order size. We have also developed an algorithm that can help our clients automate the upsell/cross-sell opportunities. Additionally, we have created a new advertising feature that allows our clients to easily add graphical elements with interior or exterior links to assist with instantaneous promotion of featured products.
Advanced Reporting and Analytics
Warp 9 ICS captures a great deal of information about sales and visitor activities in its database. We provide our clients access to a collection of standard and customizable reports as well as create any report they need for their individual business making decisions. For example, we can create custom reports to help our clients analyze the average orders size of one design versus another. This enables our clients to track and analyze sales, products, transactions and customer behavior to further refine their market strategies to increase sales.
Strategic Marketing Services
We offer a wide range of strategic marketing services designed to increase customer acquisition, retention and lifetime value. Through a combination of web analytics, analytic-based statistical testing and optimization, our team of strategic marketing consultants develop, deliver and manage programs such as paid search advertising, search engine optimization, affiliate marketing, store optimization and e-mail optimization for our clients. We believe our ability to capture and analyze integrated traffic and commerce data enhances the value of our strategic marketing services as we can precisely determine the effectiveness of specific marketing activities, website changes, and other actions taken by our clients. We are also working on providing this beneficial sales data in real-time and in a more customizable format.
Revenue Model
We charge our customers a recurring monthly fee, based on term contracts, to use the Warp 9 ICS product under a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) model. Unlike traditional software companies that sell software on a perpetual license where quarterly and annual revenues are very difficult to predict, our SaaS model spreads the collection of contracts over several quarters or years and makes our revenues more predictable for a longer period of time.
The Company also generates incremental revenue by offering additional products such as Warp 9 EMS, Warp 9 VCS, and Warp 9 VMS. We also drive revenue by offering professional web production, graphic design, marketing, and other consulting services to support Warp 9 products and generally to aid in the operations of our customers’ e-commerce activities.
Benefits to Clients
Our complete solution of providing robust technology along with complementary professional services delivers many benefits to our customers.
Reduced Total Cost of Ownership and Risk
Utilizing our technology and services, businesses can dramatically reduce or eliminate upfront and ongoing hardware, software, maintenance and support costs associated with developing, customizing, deploying and upgrading an in-house e-commerce solution. They can have a global e-commerce presence without assuming the costs and risks of developing it themselves and take immediate advantage of the investments we continually make in our e-commerce systems and associated services. Our commitment to the latest technologies and e-commerce functionality helps ensure that our clients maintain pace with industry advances.
Through our services consultants, we help our clients grow their businesses by applying our technology and experience to (i) increase the acquisition, retention and lifetime value of new customers; (ii) extending their businesses into new geographic markets; and (iii) expanding the visibility and sales of their products through new online sales channels. We have developed substantial expertise in online marketing and merchandising, which we apply to help our clients increase traffic to their online stores, and improve order close ratios, average order sizes and repeat purchases, all of which are designed to generate higher revenues for our clients’ businesses and greater revenue for Warp 9.
Deployment Speed
Businesses can reduce the time required to develop an e-commerce presence by utilizing our outsourced business model. Typically, a new client can have an online store live much more quickly than if they decided to build, test and deploy the e-commerce capability in-house. Once they are operational on our platform, clients can utilize our remote control toolset to make real-time changes to their online store, allowing them to address issues and take advantage of opportunities without technical assistance.
By utilizing our outsourced e-commerce model, businesses can focus on developing, marketing and selling their products rather than devoting time and resources to building and maintaining an e-commerce infrastructure. Management can focus their time on their core business while ensuring they have access to the latest technologies, tools and expertise for running a successful e-commerce operation.
Sales and Marketing
Our objective is to be the leading provider of outsourced e-commerce solutions for retail operations and online catalogs. To achieve this objective, we intend to enhance, promote and support the idea that Warp 9 is the complete provider of the necessary technology platform and professional services to effectively conduct a serious e-commerce operation.
We currently market our e-commerce solutions directly to clients and prospective clients. We focus our efforts on generating awareness of the Warp 9 brand and capabilities and establishing our position as a competitor in the e-commerce space.
During the client sales process, our staff delivers demonstrations, presentations, collateral material, return-on-investment analyses, proposals and contracts A great deal of our new customers have come from direct sales, trade shows, and word-of-mouth referrals. Our direct sales efforts are aimed at senior marketing and IT executives within a retailer or catalog company who are looking to create or expand their e-commerce operation. Because of our long history in e-commerce, prospective clients quite often look for us at trade shows to learn more about Warp 9. Word-of-mouth referrals have been very valuable to us and we intend to continue nurturing our customer and industry relationships to maximize these referrals.
In addition to our direct sales efforts, trade shows, and referrals, we intend to explore a channel partner strategy to expand our customer base. Prospective channel partners include consultants and designers in the catalog industry, as well as backend order fulfillment systems providers and providers of complementary services or products. With the growing maturity of multi-channel e-commerce strategies, many of the robust backend systems providers are looking for robust front-end e-commerce system, like Warp 9 ICS, to deliver a fully integrated online/offline solution to their clients.
Competition
The market for e-commerce solutions is highly competitive, especially as it reaches maturity. We compete with e-commerce solutions that our customers develop themselves or contract with third parties to develop. We also compete with other outsourced e-commerce providers. The competition we encounter includes:
·
|
In-house development of e-commerce capabilities using tools or applications from companies such as Art Technology Group, Broadvision, and IBM;
|
·
|
E-Commerce capabilities custom-developed by companies such as IBM Global Services, and Accenture, Inc.;
|
·
|
Other providers of outsourced e-commerce solutions, such as WebLinc, Volusion, UniteU, MarketLive, etc.;
|
·
|
Companies that provide technologies, services or products that support a portion of the e-commerce process, such as payment processing, including CyberSource Corporation, PayPal Corporation and Authorize.net.;
|
·
|
High-traffic branded websites that generate a substantial portion of their revenue from e-commerce and may offer or provide to others the means to offer their products for sale, such as Amazon.com, Inc.; and
|
·
|
Web hosting, web services and infrastructure companies that offer portions of our solution and are seeking to expand the range of their offering, such as Network Solutions, LLC, Akamai Technologies, Inc., Yahoo! Inc., eBay Inc. and Hostopia.com Inc.

There is no assurance that the Company will be profitable, the Company may not be able to successfully develop, manage or market its products and services, the Company may not be able to attract or retain qualified executives and technology personnel, the Company may not be able to obtain customers for its products or services, the Company’s products and services may become obsolete, government regulation may hinder the Company’s business, additional dilution in outstanding stock ownership may be incurred due to the issuance of more shares, warrants and stock options, the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options, and other risks inherent in the Company’s businesses.
Because the statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on the statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-K. The cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that the Company or persons acting on its behalf may issue. The Company does not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts' expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-K or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this quarterly report contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties.
Current Overview
Warp 9 is a provider of e-commerce software platforms and services for the retail and catalog industries. Our suite of software platforms are designed to help multi-channel retailers maximize the Internet channel by applying our technologies for e-commerce, online catalogs, e-mail marketing campaigns, and interactive visual merchandising. Offered as an outsourced and fully managed Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) model, our products allow customers to focus on their core business, rather than technical implementations and software and hardware architecture, design, and maintenance. We also offer professional services to our clients which include online catalog design, merchandizing and optimization, order management, e-mail marketing campaign development, integration to third party payment processing and fulfillment systems, analytics, custom reporting and strategic consultation.
Our products and services allow our clients to lower costs and focus on promoting and marketing their brand, product line and website while leveraging the investments we have made in technology and infrastructure to operate a dynamic e-commerce operation.
We charge our customers a recurring monthly fee for using our e-commerce software based on a Software-as-a-Service model. These fees include fixed monthly charges, and variable fees based on the sales volume of our clients’ e-commerce websites. Unlike traditional software companies that sell software on a perpetual license where quarterly and annual revenues are quite difficult to predict, our SaaS model spreads the collection of contract revenue over several quarters or years and makes our revenues more predictable for a longer period of time.
The Warp 9 Internet Commerce System (“ICS”) is our flagship and highest revenue product. We have also developed and deployed new products based on a proprietary virtual publishing technology. These new products allow for the creation of interactive web versions of paper catalogs (“VCS”) and magazines (“VMS”) where users can flip through pages with a mouse and click on products or advertisements. These magazines or catalogs have built-in integration for e-commerce transactions through our ICS product and other transaction based activities. Clients utilizing this technology have discovered when exposing consumers to virtual catalogs, a higher average order size and significant increase in rate of conversion result. We have sold this solution on a limited basis while we continue to refine the product and technology. We believe there could be many markets for our virtual catalog and magazine technology and we expect to test market these new products in the future.
Research and development (“R&D”) efforts have been focused both on these new products and on updating our current products with new features. In the planning phase of these new features, we look to direct client feedback and feature requests; we study the e-commerce landscape to determine features that will provide our clients with a competitive advantage in producing greater and more effective selling; and we also examine features that will create a competitive advantage during our sales process to clients. Emerging and declining trends also play a role in how clients perceive what features should be provided by which vendors and we are sometimes able to capitalize on these opportunities by bundling features for greater value and/or increased fees and revenue.
A significant portion of the Company’s revenues are from the ICS product. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, the ICS product accounted for 74% of gross revenue. The monthly recurring fee for Warp 9 ICS is generally variable with the growth of a client’s online revenues. Therefore, when our customers sell more online, our revenues and profit margin increase without dramatic increase in costs. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, the professional services accounted for 8% of gross revenue.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, including the discussion on liquidity and capital resources, 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, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management re-evaluates its estimates and judgments, particularly those related to the determination of the estimated recoverable amounts of trade accounts receivable, impairment of long-lived assets, revenue recognition and deferred tax assets. We believe the following critical accounting policies require more significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may arise if any of our customers are unable to make required payments. Management specifically analyzes the age of customer balances, historical bad debt experience, customer credit-worthiness, and changes in customer payment terms when making estimates of the uncollectability of our trade accounts receivable balances. If we determine that the financial conditions of any of our customers deteriorated, whether due to customer specific or general economic issues, increases in the allowance may be made. Accounts receivable are written off when all collection attempts have failed.
We follow the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" for revenue recognition and SAB 104. Under Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, four conditions must be met before revenue can be recognized: (i) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection is reasonably assured.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, to the extent that we believe that the deferred tax asset is not likely to be recovered, a valuation allowance is provided. In making this determination, we consider estimated future taxable income and taxable timing differences expected in the future. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Results of Operations for the Year Ended June 30, 2011 as Compared to the Year Ended June 30, 2010
REVENUE
Total revenue for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2011 decreased by $487,816 to $936,639 compared to $1,424,455 in the prior year, a decrease of 34%. The difference is primarily due to a decrease in recurring ICS fees and professional services associated with site development fees, online marketing and other services. The decrease in revenue was primarily driven by a reduction in the number of clients due to the effects of the continued economic downturn and a decrease in client budgets for e-commerce services.
COST OF REVENUE
The cost of revenue for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2011 decreased by $55,944 or approximately 43% to $75,563, compared to $131,507 for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in the cost of revenue was primarily due to a decrease in sales commissions.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 decreased by $425,026, or approximately 27% to $1,145,770, compared to $1,570,796 for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to a decrease in rent and bad debt write-off expenses, in addition to a decrease in salary expenses, partially offset by the cost of using outside contractors.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 increased by $90,978, or approximately 496% to $109,311, compared to $18,333 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was due to a focus on developing additional services for our customers.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $5,858, or approximately 18% to $26,936, compared to $32,794 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was due to many of the Company’s fixed assets becoming fully depreciated as of June 30, 2011, resulting in no current year depreciation expense being recognized for those assets. This decrease was partially offset by depreciation of new fixed assets acquired during the current year.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE
Total other expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 increased $1,839,440, or approximately 1174% to $1,996,113, compared to a negative expense (tax benefit) of $156,673 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets, in the amount of $2,039,208. For further discussion on this valuation allowance see Footnote 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
NET INCOME / (LOSS)
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2011, Warp 9’s consolidated net loss was $2,417,351, compared to a consolidated net loss of $181,518 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. This increase in net loss is primarily due to the decrease in the number of clients utilizing ICS, combined with the recognition of a valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2011 the Company had a cash balance of $575,398 compared to $733,737 as of June 30, 2010. Warp 9 had net working capital (i.e. the difference between current assets and current liabilities) of $403,167 as of June 30, 2011, compared to a net working capital of $799,359 at June 30, 2010.
Cash flow used by operating activities was $231,763 for the year ended June 30, 2011, compared to $20,432 provided for the year ended June 30, 2010. Cash flow was negative during the year due to a decrease in revenues and the recording of a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.
Cash flow provided by investing activities was $7,650 for the year ended June 30, 2011, compared to $94,496 used for the year ended June 30, 2010, primarily as a result of the recording of a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.
Cash flow provided by financing activities was $81,074 for the year ended June 30, 2011, compared to $41,707 used for the year ended June 30, 2010. The increase is primarily due to an investment by Wings Fund, Inc. into the Company.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2011, the Company’s capital needs have primarily been met from cash balances on hand.
While Warp 9 expects that its capital needs in the foreseeable future may be met by cash-on-hand and projected positive cash-flow, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate enough positive cash flow or have sufficient capital to finance its growth and business operations, or that such capital will be available on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all. In the current financial environment, it could become difficult for the Company to obtain equipment leases and other business financing. There is no assurance that Warp 9 would be able to obtain additional working capital through the private placement of common stock or from any other source.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors
Warp 9, Inc.
Goleta, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Warp 9, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Warp 9, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
This summary of significant accounting policies of Warp 9, Inc. 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.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include Warp 9, Inc. (the Company), and its majority-owned subsidiaries ("Warp 9, Inc., a Delaware corporation"). All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Accounts receivable
The Company extends credit to its customers, who are located primarily in California. Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. Management reviews accounts receivable on a regular basis, based on contracted terms and how recently payments have been received to determine if any such amounts will potentially be uncollected. The Company includes any balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off. The balance of the allowance account at June 30, 2011 and 2010 are $11,408 and $161,924 respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimate of useful lives of property and equipment, the deferred tax valuation allowance, and the fair value of stock options and warrants. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes income when the service is provided or when product is delivered. We present revenue, net of customer incentives. Most of the income is generated from monthly fees from clients who subscribe to the Company's fully hosted web based e-commerce products on terms averaging twelve months. Unless terminated accordingly with prior written notice, the agreements automatically renew for another term.
We provide online marketing services that we purchase from third parties. The gross revenue presented in our statement of operations is in accordance with ASC 605-45.
We also offer professional services such as development services. The fees for development services with multiple deliverables constitute a separate unit of accounting in accordance with ASC 605-25, which are recognized as the work is performed.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
|
Revenue recognition (Continued)
Upfront fees for development services or other customer services are deferred until certain implementation or contractual milestones have been achieved. The deferred revenue as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $32,010 and $20,667, respectively.
For the fiscal year ended, June 30, 2011, monthly fee from web products and associated service fees account for 77% of the Company’s total revenues, professional services account for 8% and the remaining 15% of total revenues are from resale of third party products and services.
For the fiscal year ended, June 30, 2010, monthly fee from web products and associated service fees account for 66% of the Company’s total revenues, professional services account for 24% and the remaining 10% of total revenues are from resale of third party products and services
Return policy
On all service offerings such as web based e-commerce products there are no returns. Monthly fees are assessed and revenue is recognized at the end of every month, after service has been provided. Some higher paying customers may have service level agreements where we guarantee system uptime such as 99.9% of the time per month. If we fall below the agreed upon level of uptime, we shall credit one day of service fee for each hour our system is down up to a maximum of one monthly fee. This guarantee only covers downtime as a result of failure in the Company’s hardware, software or gross negligence. Historically, the Company has not had to issue any credits for such returns.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes the direct costs of operating the Company’s network, including telecommunications charges and third party internet marketing charges.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs were $109,311 and $18,333 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotional materials when incurred. Total advertising costs were $4,505 and $21,284 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company's capital lease obligations and notes payable have stated borrowing rates that are consistent with those currently available to the Company and, accordingly, the Company believes the carrying value of these debt instruments approximates their fair value.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Furniture, fixtures & equipment
|
|
7 Years
|
Computer equipment
|
|

|
Commerce server
|
|

|

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk (Continued)
Accounts receivable represent financial instruments with potential credit risk. The Company typically offers its customers credit terms. The Company makes periodic evaluations of the credit worthiness of its enterprise customers and other than obtaining deposits pursuant to its policies, it generally does not require collateral. In the event of nonpayment, the Company has the ability to terminate services.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company addressed the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The transactions are accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expenses in our statement of income. There was no material impact on the Company’s financial statement of operations.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended June 30, 2011, included compensation expense for the stock-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of June 30, 2011 based on the grant date fair value estimated. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the statement of income for the year ended June 30, 2011 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, or has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are $297 and $9,214 respectively.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per Share require the Company to calculate earnings per share based on basic and diluted earnings per share, as defined. Basic earnings per share exclude dilution and are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and warrants to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The dilutive effect of outstanding options issued by the Company were not reflected in diluted earnings per share, because under the provision of the treasury stock method, options will only have a dilutive effect when the average market price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options. The Company’s average market price for common stock was less than the exercise price of all outstanding stock options and warrants.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of applicable tax law. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance based on the amount of tax benefits that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the three months ended June 30, 2011, and no pronouncements were adopted during the period.
3. NOTES PAYABLE
At June 30, 2007, the Company reclassified an accounts payable account to a vendor in the amount of $154,429 to a note payable. The monthly payment on the note is $3,342 per month and bears annual interest at the rate of 10% per annum. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the outstanding principal balance was $39,838 and $39,860 respectively. The following is a schedule of payments due for the next five years.

4. DEFERRED TAX BENEFIT
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards 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.
The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the year ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 consist of the following:

5. INCOME TAXES
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, and the state of California. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008.
|
Deferred income taxes have been provided by temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes. To the extent allowed by GAAP, we provide valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets for amounts when the realization is uncertain. Included in the balances at June 30, 2011 and 2010, are no tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain, but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.
|
|
The Company's policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During the periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not recognize interest and penalties.
|
6. CAPITAL STOCK
On June 29, 2011, the Company authorized a one-for-five (1:5) reverse split. All share amounts have been retroactively restated reflecting this reverse split.
At June 30, 2010, the Company’s authorized stock consisted of 495,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Company is also authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the preferred stock will be determined by the Board of Directors prior to issuance of such shares. During the year ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued 28,019,163 shares of common stock with warrants attached at a price of $0.003 per share for cash of $84,057.
7. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
On July 10, 2003, the Company adopted the Warp 9, Inc. Stock Option Plan for Directors, Executive Officers, and Employees of and Key Consultants to the Company. This Plan, may issue 5,000,000 shares of common stock. Options granted under the Plan could be either Incentive Options or Nonqualified Options, and are administered by the Company’s Board of Directors. Each option may be exercisable in full or in installment and at such time as designated by the Board. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or of any Option agreement, each option are to expire on the date specified in the Option agreement, which date are to be no later than the tenth anniversary of the date on which the Option was granted (fifth anniversary in the case of an Incentive Option granted to a greater-than-10% stockholder). The purchase price per share of the Common Stock under each Incentive Option is to be no less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the option was granted (110% of the Fair Market Value in the case of a greater-than-10% stockholder). The purchase price per share of the Common Stock under each Nonqualified Option were to be specified by the Board at the time the Option was granted, and could be less than, equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date such Nonqualified Option was granted, but were to be no less than the par value of shares of Common Stock. The plan provided specific language as to the termination of options granted hereunder.
The Company used the historical industry index to calculate volatility, since the Company’s stock history did not represent the expected future volatility of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of options granted during the year ended June 30, 2010, was determined using the Black Scholes method with the following assumptions:

The Black Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which do not have vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As of June 30, 2011, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, had evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon and as of the date of the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified periods and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure of material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports. Based on the foregoing, our management determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework.” Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of June 30, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria. There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting since June 30, 2011, that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
No Attestation Report by Independent Registered Accountant
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011 has not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm by virtue of our exemption from such requirement as a smaller reporting company.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
The Company’s management does not expect that its disclosure controls or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Under the Nevada General Corporation Law and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, the Company’s directors will have no personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or alleged breach by a director of his “duty of care”. This provision does not apply to the directors’ (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) approval of any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director’s duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders, (v) acts or omissions that constituted an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of duties, including gross negligence.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Board Committees
The Board of Directors has not had an Audit Committee since February 2006 when Tom Djokovich, the sole member of the Audit Committee, resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors for personal reasons. Since then, the Company has not reappointed an Audit Committee.
Auditor Independence
HJ Associates & Consultants, LLP (“HJ”) has been the Company’s principal auditing accountant firm since August 2006. HJ provided other non-audit services to the Company. The Company's Board of Directors has considered whether the provisions of non-audit services are compatible with maintaining HJ independence.
Report of the Audit Committee
In February 2006, the sole member of the Company’s Audit Committee resigned from the Board of Directors for personal reasons. The Company has not reformed the Audit Committee since that time. Accordingly the Company has not received any reports from an Audit Committee during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. The Company’s full Board of Directors is presently performing the functions of an Audit Committee until a new Audit Committee is formed in the future.
Code of Conduct
The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct that applies to all of its directors, officers and employees. Any waiver of the provisions of the Code of Conduct for executive officers and directors may be made only by the Audit Committee when formed or the full Board of Directors and, in the case of a waiver for members of the Audit Committee, by the Board of Directors. Any such waivers will be promptly disclosed to the Company’s shareholders.
Compliance with Section 16(A) of Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s officers and directors, and certain persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities (collectively, “Reporting Persons”), to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership (“Section 16 Reports”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Reporting Persons are required by the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16 Reports they file.
Based solely on its review of the copies of such Section 16 Reports received by it, or written representations received from certain Reporting Persons, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to the Company’s Reporting Persons during and with respect to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 have been complied with on a timely basis.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the material elements of compensation for our executive officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table (“Named Executive Officers”), and executive officers that we may hire in the future. As more fully described below, our board of directors makes all decisions for the total direct compensation of our executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers. We do not have a compensation committee, so all decisions with respect to management compensation are made by the whole board.
Compensation Program Objectives and Rewards
Our compensation philosophy is based on the premise of attracting, retaining, and motivating exceptional leaders, setting high goals, working toward the common objectives of meeting the expectations of customers and stockholders, and rewarding outstanding performance. Following this philosophy, in determining executive compensation, we consider all relevant factors, such as the competition for talent, our desire to link pay with performance in the future, the use of equity to align executive interests with those of our stockholders, individual contributions, teamwork and performance, and each executive’s total compensation package. We strive to accomplish these objectives by compensating all executives with total compensation packages consisting of a combination of competitive base salary and incentive compensation.
While we have only hired one additional executive since inception because our business has not grown sufficiently to justify additional hires, we expect to grow and hire in the future. One of our Named Executive Officers has been with us for many years and his compensation has basically been static, based primarily on the level at which we can afford to retain him and his responsibilities and individual contributions. To date, we have not applied a formal compensation program to determine the compensation of the Named Executives Officers. In the future, as we and our management team expand, our board of directors expects to add independent members, form a compensation committee comprised of independent directors, and apply the compensation philosophy and policies described in this section of the 10K.
The primary purpose of the compensation and benefits described below is to attract, retain, and motivate highly talented individuals when we do hire, who will engage in the behaviors necessary to enable us to succeed in our mission while upholding our values in a highly competitive marketplace. Different elements are designed to engender different behaviors, and the actual incentive amounts which may be awarded to each Named Executive Officer are subject to the annual review of the board of directors. The following is a brief description of the key elements of our planned executive compensation structure.
·
|
Base salary and benefits are designed to attract and retain employees over time.
|
·
|
Incentive compensation awards are designed to focus employees on the business objectives for a particular year.
|
·
|
Equity incentive awards, such as stock options and non-vested stock, focus executives’ efforts on the behaviors within the recipients’ control that they believe are designed to ensure our long-term success as reflected in increases to our stock prices over a period of several years, growth in our profitability and other elements.
|
·
|
Severance and change in control plans are designed to facilitate a company’s ability to attract and retain executives as we compete for talented employees in a marketplace where such protections are commonly offered. We currently have not given separation benefits to any of our Name Executive Officers.
|
Benchmarking
We have not yet adopted benchmarking but may do so in the future. When making compensation decisions, our board of directors may compare each element of compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers against a report showing comparable compensation metrics from a group that includes both publicly-traded and privately-held companies. Our board believes that while such peer group benchmarks are a point of reference for measurement, they are not necessarily a determining factor in setting executive compensation as each executive officer’s compensation relative to the benchmark varies based on scope of responsibility and time in the position. We have not yet formally established our peer group for this purpose.
The Elements of Warp 9’s Compensation Program
Base Salary
Executive officer base salaries are based on job responsibilities and individual contribution. The board reviews the base salaries of our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, considering factors such as corporate progress toward achieving objectives (without reference to any specific performance-related targets) and individual performance experience and expertise. None of our Named Executive Officers have employment agreements with us. Additional factors reviewed by the board of directors in determining appropriate base salary levels and raises include subjective factors related to corporate and individual performance. For the year ended June 30, 2011, all executive officer base salary decisions were approved by the board of directors.
Our board of directors determines base salaries for the Named Executive Officers at the beginning of each fiscal year, and the board proposes new base salary amounts, if appropriate, based on its evaluation of individual performance and expected future contributions. We do not have a 401(k) Plan, but if we adopt one in the future, base salary would be the only element of compensation that would be used in determining the amount of contributions permitted under the 401(k) Plan.
Incentive Compensation Awards
The Named Executives have not been paid bonuses and our board of directors has not yet established a formal compensation policy for the determination of bonuses. If our revenue grows and bonuses become affordable and justifiable, we expect to use the following parameters in justifying and quantifying bonuses for our Named Executive Officers and other officers of Warp 9: (1) the growth in our revenue, (2) the growth in our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted (“EBITDA”), and (3) our stock price. The board has not adopted specific performance goals and target bonus amounts for any of our fiscal years, but may do so in the future.
Equity Incentive Awards
Effective July 10, 2003, our board of directos adopted the Warp 9, Inc. 2003 Stock Option Plan for Directors, Officers, Employees and Key Consultants (the “Plan”) authorizing the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the grant and exercise of up to 5,000,000 stock options. The Plan has been approved by the holders of our outstanding shares. We believe that stock option awards motivate our employees to work to improve our business and stock price performance, thereby further linking the interests of our senior management and our stockholders. The board considers several factors in determining whether awards are granted to an executive officer, including those previously described, as well as the executive’s position, his or her performance and responsibilities, and the amount of options, if any, currently held by the officer and their vesting schedule. Our policy prohibits backdating options or granting them retroactively.
Benefits and Prerequisites
At this stage of our business we have limited benefits and no prerequisites for our employees other than health insurance and vacation benefits that are generally comparable to those offered by other small private and public companies or as may be required by applicable state employment laws. We do not have a 401(k) Plan or any other retirement plan for our Named Executive Officers. We may adopt these plans and confer other fringe benefits for our executive officers in the future if our business grows sufficiently to enable us to afford them.
Separation and Change in Control Arrangements
We do not have any employment agreements with our Named Executive Officers or any other executive officer or employee of Warp 9. None of them are eligible for specific benefits or payments if their employment or engagement terminates in a separation or if there is a change of control.
Executive Officer Compensation
The following summary compensation table sets forth certain information concerning compensation paid to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its most highly paid executive officers (the “Named Executive Officers”) whose total annual salary and bonus for services rendered in all capacities for the year ended June 30, 2011 was $100,000 or more.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The following table sets forth the names of our executive officers and directors and all persons known by us to beneficially own 5% or more of the issued and outstanding common stock of Warp 9 at September 23, 2011. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage of ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or become exercisable within 60 days of September 23, 2011 are deemed outstanding even if they have not actually been exercised. Those shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The percentage ownership of each beneficial owner is based on 96,135,126 outstanding shares of common stock. Except as otherwise listed below, the address of each person is c/o Warp 9, Inc., 6500 Hollister Avenue, Suite 120, Santa Barbara, California 93117. Except as indicated, each person listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite such person’s name.
