NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1.
FORMATION AND BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY:
Semotus®
Solutions, Inc. ("We" or “Our”), changed our name from Datalink.net, Inc. as of
January 11, 2001. We were originally named Datalink Systems Corporation, and we
were formed under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 18, 1996. On June 27,
1996, we went public through an acquisition of a public corporation, Datalink
Communications Corporation ("DCC"), which was previously Lord Abbott, Inc., a
Colorado corporation formed in 1986. In the June 27, 1996 acquisition of DCC, we
issued 3,293,064 shares of our $0.01 par value Common Stock to the holders of
100% of the outstanding Common Stock of DCC, and DCC became our wholly owned
subsidiary. As a part of the transaction, we acquired a Canadian corporation,
DSC Datalink Systems Corporation, incorporated in Vancouver, British Columbia,
which changed its name to Semotus Systems Corporation.
We are a
leading provider of enterprise application software connecting individuals
wirelessly to critical business systems, urgent information and key processes.
We help mobile employees make better and faster decisions, increase customer
satisfaction, and improve efficiencies in business processes for shorter sales
and service cycles. Our wireless software products and professional
services are all included in the HipLink family of software, which provide
immediate mobile access and control of business-critical software applications,
databases, networks and servers. In the year ended March 31, 2008 we
substantially scaled back the operations of Clickmarks and sold our Global
Market Pro wireless financial data software and services to Stockgroup Systems
Ltd. In the year ended March 31, 2007, we closed the operations of
Expand Beyond and transferred our research and development activities from
Vancouver, Canada to Pakistan.
2.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Semotus Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of June 30, 2008, the condensed consolidated statements of operations
for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the condensed
consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007 have been prepared by us, without audit and in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K. In the opinion of our management,
all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending March 31, 2009. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. We
believe that the disclosures provided are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related
notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31,
2008.
The
preparation of condensed consolidated 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 dates of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Semotus
Solutions, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiary, Clickmarks. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Our
management believes, after discontinuing all operations that were unprofitable,
that the remaining continuing operations are sustainable and that we will have
enough cash to maintain our operations over the next twelve months. Although
those operations range from slightly cash positive to cash negative on a monthly
basis, the overall trend toward positive cash flow is continuing. Further, with
the trend toward increased acceptance of the need for wireless solutions, our
operations should be augmented in the current fiscal year. Our continued
operation is dependant on increasing sales and achieving profitability and/or
obtaining sufficient long-term financing.
3. RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June
2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and
transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006. We do not believe that the adoption of FIN 48
currently has a material impact on our financial statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS 157). The standard provides guidance for using fair
value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also responds to
investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies
measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure
fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. The standard
applies whenever other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be
measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in
any new circumstances. SFAS 157 must be adopted prospectively as of the
beginning of the year it is initially applied. SFAS 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe that the
adoption of SFAS 157 currently has a material impact on our financial
statements.
4. STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION
On April
1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” requiring us to recognize expense
related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. We recognize the
cost of all share-based awards on a straight line vesting basis over the vesting
period of the award. Total stock compensation expense recognized by us during
the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $15,372 and $57,602,
respectively.
We have
estimated the fair value of our option awards granted after April 1, 2006 using
the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the
following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of
our stock. We use actual data to estimate option exercises, forfeitures and
cancellations within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted
represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be
outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the
option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of
grant.

The
aggregate intrinsic value of options is calculated as the difference between the
exercise price of the underlying options and the market price of our common
stock for the shares that had exercise prices that were lower than the $0.65
market price of our common stock at June 30, 2008.
No
options were exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2008.
5.
EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS) DISCLOSURES
In
accordance with SFAS No. 128 "Earnings per Share" (EPS), we report Basic and
Diluted EPS as follows: Basic EPS is computed as net income (loss) divided by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable
through stock options, warrants and other convertible securities. Common
equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share if
their effect is anti-dilutive.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2008, 2,136,398 potential shares were not included
in the shares used to calculate diluted EPS, as no potential shares currently
have the effect of being dilutive.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2007, 290,353 potential shares were included in the
shares used to calculate diluted EPS, as their effect is dilutive, and 522,671
potential shares were not included in the shares used to calculate diluted EPS,
as their effect is not dilutive due to the fact that the exercise prices of all
of our options and warrants were greater than the average market price of our
stock over the three months ended June 30, 2007.
6. FLINT
INVESTMENT, CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE AND POTENTIAL ACQUISITION
TRANSACTION
We signed
an investment agreement dated April 23, 2008 with Flint Telecom Limited (the
“Flint Parent”), relating to an investment of $200,000 into Semotus (the
“Investment Agreement”). The investment was taken in the form of a
convertible promissory note (the “Note”) which may be converted by Flint Parent
at its discretion at any time into restricted common shares of Semotus at a
conversion price of $0.275 per share, for an aggregate of 727,272 shares
(subject to adjustment for any accrued interest, and subject to adjustment for
anti-dilution). The unpaid principal shall accrue interest at 8% per
annum and all unconverted principal and interest is due and payable on April 23,
2010. We did not incur any placement agent fees or expenses for this
$200,000 investment. These funds will be used to increase our sales and
marketing efforts and for other general working capital purposes.
Simultaneously,
we entered into a contribution agreement with Flint Telecom, Inc. (“Flint”) and
the Flint Parent, pursuant to which we will acquire the majority of Flint’s
assets and liabilities in exchange for shares of our restricted common stock,
subject to certain closing conditions, including the completion by Flint of a
financing transaction and the completion of an audit of Flint (the
“Transaction”). Upon the closing of this transaction (the “Close”), we expect to
issue approximately 28.5 million common shares of Semotus to Flint and
approximately 2 million common shares to Mr. LaPine. On a fully diluted basis,
taking into consideration our outstanding stock, the stock issuance to Mr.
LaPine, and assuming the exercise of Flint’s convertible promissory notes (which
will result in the issuance of a maximum potential total of approximately
14,000,000 additional shares) and our outstanding stock options and warrants,
there will be a total of approximately 49,000,000 shares outstanding, which will
result in Flint owning approximately 90% of the common stock of the Company, Mr.
LaPine owning 5% of the Company and the existing Semotus shareholders owning
5%. However, there are still some outstanding closing conditions that
have not yet been met as of the date of this filing.
7.
STOCKGROUP ASSET SALE
We
entered into a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement and Transition Services
Agreement on May 8, 2007 with Stockgroup Systems, Ltd. (“Stockgroup”), relating
to the sale of our wireless financial information assets (the
“Agreement”). As part of the Agreement, we agreed to sell our
financial data wireless distribution technology and intellectual property, and
the related wireless financial data services, including the Global Market Pro
family of software and services. The purchase price for this asset
sale consists of up to $350,000; $150,000 was paid on the closing date, May 9,
2007, and the remaining $200,000 is be paid through a monthly revenue share of
30%, until $200,000 has been paid to us or two years have passed from the date
of Closing or gross revenue falls below $15,000 per month, whichever occurs
first In accordance with the Transition Services Agreement, we
continue to provide certain transition services to Stockgroup, including certain
accounting, administrative and technical services related to the financial data
products. As of June 30, 2008, Stockgroup owed us a total of
$118,525, comprising the unpaid balance of $101,400 from the original $200,000
purchase price, and $17,125 for transitional services provided by Semotus to
date.
8.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Effective
May 1, 1996, we entered into a three year employment agreement with our Chief
Executive Officer. This agreement was extended to May 1, 2007 and automatically
renewed for one-year terms unless notice is provided by either
party. Effective July 15, 2007, the Compensation Committee agreed
that we should terminate the existing employment agreement with Mr. LaPine and
enter into a new employment agreement with Mr. LaPine for a term of three
years. Under this new employment agreement, Mr. LaPine is entitled to
a base salary of $240,000 per year, plus discretionary increases in accordance
with our standard review procedure. However, Mr. LaPine’s previous voluntary
decrease of $24,000 annually in compensation will continue with the same
voluntary decrease in his annual salary under the new employment agreement so
that Mr. LaPine will continue to be compensated at an annual salary of
$216,000. Mr. LaPine also receives a car allowance in the amount of
$1,000 per month. Mr. LaPine is eligible for an annual bonus, with the actual
amount of bonus paid to be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion,
based upon such factors and performance goals as the Committee deems
appropriate. If Mr. LaPine’s employment is terminated by the Company without
cause or by Mr. LaPine for good reason as provided in the Agreement, or if the
Company is acquired or dissolves and a new employment agreement satisfactory to
Mr. LaPine cannot be reached, all stock and stock options of the Company then
owned by Mr. LaPine which are unvested shall become immediately fully vested,
and the Company shall pay to Mr. LaPine severance pay equal to the remaining
years and/or months of his then current base salary that are due, based on a
three year agreement term .

Innofone.com Incorporated (“Innofone”), relating to a royalty free license of
our HipLinkXS and Clickmarks software applications (the
“Agreement”). The consideration for this software license consisted
of $3.75 million worth of Innofone’s restricted common stock at a price we
calculated as $0.19 per share, which equals 19,736,842 shares, with demand and
piggyback registration rights. We also granted Innofone an option to
buy certain assets, including the Hiplinkxs and Clickmarks software application
products, the complete terms and conditions of which were not fully defined or
agreed upon (“Asset Sale”). At a minimum, this Asset Sale would require a
payment by Innofone of $250,000 and a convertible note due from Innofone in
favor of us for $500,000. Additionally, there was a post-closing purchase price
adjustment on the Innofone stock, should the stock fall below $3.75 million in
aggregate value, in order for Stockgroup to retain its option to purchase
certain assets of Semotus.
Pursuant
to the post-closing purchase price adjustment provision in the Agreement,
Innofone issued to us 26,888,158 additional shares of Innofone restricted common
stock during the second quarter ended September 30, 2007, for a total of
46,625,000 shares of Innofone’s restricted common stock. As of
September 30, 2007 we owned approximately 35% of Innofone, and, accordingly, the
investment was accounted for on the equity method. Innofone is
currently delinquent in its SEC filings and working with its auditors to find a
cost effective
way to become current. Innofone’s last quarterly report was filed
with the SEC on May 21, 2007 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007,
in which it reported total assets of $53,523,822, total liabilities of
$39,256,222 and a net loss for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007 of
$17,156,434 and $33,601,375, respectively. Since September 30, 2007, Innofone’s
common stock has declined.
We
initially generated $3.75 million of other income from the sale of a software
license to Innofone. However, due to the continuing operating losses and the
uncertainty of Innofone’s business, as of March 31, 2008, Semotus reduced the
value of its investment to $0 and thereby recorded a $366,250 loss for the
fourth quarter and a $3,730,000 loss for the year ended March 31,
2008.
As of the
contractual deadline of October 22, 2007, Innofone had not paid us $250,000, and
therefore its option to buy certain assets expired. Innofone’s right
of first refusal to merge with us has also therefore expired. On April 30, 2008
we entered into a Termination Agreement with Innofone, whereby we returned all
of the shares of Innofone common stock received under the License Agreement in
exchange for the complete termination of the software license granted to
Innofone thereunder.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July
22, 2008, Flint Telecom, Ltd. (“Flint”) converted 100% of its convertible
promissory note issued on April 23, 2008, which included the entire outstanding
principal amount of $200,000 and all accrued interest up to and including
July 22, 2008, which comes to a total of $204,000, into restricted common shares
of Semotus Solutions, Inc. at a conversion price equal to $0.275 per share,
which equals a total of 741,818 shares of our restricted common stock. See Note
6 for more details on the convertible promissory note.
ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached financial
statements and notes thereto. Except for the historical information contained
herein, the matters discussed below are forward-looking statements that involve
certain risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the risks and
uncertainties discussed below.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We
described our critical accounting policies in Item 6, "Management's Discussion
and Analysis or Plan of Operation," of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the
year ended March 31, 2008.
Our
critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal
of our financial condition and results of operations, and require our
management's significant judgments and estimates and such consistent application
fairly depicts our financial condition and results of operations for all periods
presented.
OVERVIEW
In the
first quarter of fiscal year 2008 we sold our Global Market Pro family of
financial data products to Stockgroup, since those products serve a specific
market that Stockgroup has a larger presence in. During the first quarter of our
fiscal year 2009 we have continued to focus on sales of our HipLink family of
software applications and services utilized by businesses and their employees to
wirelessly connect to critical business systems, information and processes.
These products maintain high gross and operating margins and form the core of
our enterprise software marketing strategy with wireless and mobile features
available in the software. We also continue to work towards closing the
acquisition of the majority of the assets and liabilities of Flint Telecom, Inc.
(“Flint”). Although all contractual extensions have expired, we are
working with Flint to execute an extension that will provide enough time for
Flint to complete the outstanding closing contingencies. If however, the Flint
transaction does not close, we will continue to look for another merger
partner.
Management
believes that it has adequate working capital for the next 12
months.
We had a
net loss of $(234,565), $(0.10) per share basic and diluted, in the three months
ended June 30, 2008, as compared to net income of $195,146, $0.11 per share
basic and $0.09 per share diluted, in the three months ended June 30,
2007. Our overall cash increased by $4,217 in the three months ended
June 30, 2008, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007, in which our
overall cash increased by $82,387.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
REVENUES
Revenues
for the three months ended June 30, 2008 decreased 27% to $230,735 as compared
to $314,331 in the same three month period ended June 30, 2007. This is due to a
continued weakness in our software sales for the first quarter of FY 2009 due to
a continued weakness in the wireless messaging software market.
COST
OF REVENUES AND GROSS MARGIN
The
overall gross profit margin increased to 99% in the three months ended June 30,
2008 from 93% in the same three month period ended June 30, 2007. The increase
in gross profit margin is principally due to the sale of the financial data and
software services assets, which had higher costs and a lower gross profit. The
cost of revenues principally includes costs of engineering development directed
to specifically identified products, and costs of servicing and hosting customer
products. Other costs directly related to the financial data software and
services assets, are data feed costs, which have been eliminated with the sale
of those assets.
OPERATING
EXPENSES
Operating
expenses decreased 3% to $461,219 in the three months ended June 30, 2008 versus
$473,191 for the same three month period in the last fiscal year, mainly due to
a decrease in research and development expenses as a result of moving
engineering and development offshore, as well as a decrease in stock and option
compensation expenses due to a reduction in stock and option
grants. These expenses were offset somewhat by the increase in sales
and marketing expenses as new sales staff and marketing programs were initiated.
We categorize
operating expenses into four major categories: research and development, sales
and marketing, general and administrative, and stock, option and warrant
expense. The table below summarizes the changes in these four categories of
operating expenses (unaudited):

Total

$ 473,191
Research
and development expenses are expenses incurred in developing new products and
product enhancements for current products. These expenditures are charged to
expense as incurred. These costs decreased substantially due to
moving our research and development efforts offshore. Remaining
engineering costs are due to production projects for existing products and
services.
Sales and
marketing expenses consist of costs incurred to develop and implement marketing
and sales programs for our product lines. These include costs required to staff
the marketing department and develop a sales and marketing strategy,
participation in trade shows, media development and advertising, and web site
development and maintenance. These costs also include the expenses of hiring
sales personnel and maintaining a customer support call center. These costs
increased compared to last year due to an increase in sales and marketing
personnel.
General
and administrative expenses include senior management, accounting, legal,
business development consulting, rent, administrative personnel, and other
overhead related costs. This category also includes the costs associated with
being a publicly traded company, including the costs of SEC filings, and
investor and public relations. These costs decreased slightly during the three
months ended June 30, 2008 versus 2007 due to a decrease in the use of outside
services from independent contractors and our move from the American Stock
Exchange (“Amex”) to the OTC Bulletin Board and the resulting elimination of
costs related to being listed on the Amex.
The
non-cash charges for compensation consist mainly of grants of stock, options and
warrants for services provided to us. Such services include financial, legal and
business development consulting. The common stock issued was valued at its fair
market value at the date of issuance. The decline in this expense is directly
related to the reduction in the number and amount of stock and option grants in
the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended June
30, 2007.
OTHER
INCOME (EXPENSE)
The
$2,493 in other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 is comprised
mainly of accrued interest on the note payable to Flint, offset by interest and
other miscellaneous income.
The
$374,716 in other income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 is comprised
mainly from the gain on the sale of the financial data software and services
assets offset by interest expense from the amortization of the debt discount and
the accrued interest on notes payable.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The
overall cash increased by $4,217 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as
compared to an increase in cash of $82,387 for the three months ended June 30,
2007. The sources and uses of cash are summarized as follows

During
the three months ended June 30, 2008, cash used in operating activities from
continuing operations consisted principally of an operating loss of $232,072
resulting from gross profits of $229,147 and operating expenses of
$461,219. Other operating activities contributing to a decrease in
cash were a decline in accounts payable and deferred revenue offset by cash
produced mainly through a decrease in accounts receivable, including the
receivable from Stockgroup, and an increase in accrued expenses and other
current liabilities.
During
the three months ended June 30, 2007, cash used in operating activities from
continuing operations consisted principally of an operating loss of $179,570
resulting from gross profits of $293,621 and operating expenses of $473,191.
Also, a gain on the sale of the financial data and software services assets
offset by interest expense of $25,989 produced other income of $374,716. Other
operating activities contributing to the increase in cash were mainly from an
increase in deferred revenue of $62,955. Activities that contributed to a
decrease in cash were an increase in accounts receivable, including the
receivable from Stockgroup and a decrease in accounts payable of
$33,616.
Cash
provided by investing activities in the three months ended June 30, 2008
consisted of proceeds resulting from the interim services agreement with
Stockgroup. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, cash
provided by investing activities consisted of proceeds resulting from the asset
sale to Stockgroup and from the interim services agreement with
Stockgroup.
Cash
provided by financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2008
consisted of $200,000 in proceeds from the issuance of a convertible promissory
note to Flint Telecom, Ltd. (See Note 6). Cash used in financing activities for
the three months ended June 30, 2007 consisted of payment on an equipment
loan.
As of
June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $226,601, an increase of
$4,217 from the balance at March 31, 2008, which was $222,384. Our
working capital deficit remained basically constant as of June 30, 2008 at
($42,166) as compared to a working capital deficit of ($42,103) at March 31,
2008. We have not yet generated sufficient revenues to cover the costs of
continued product development and support, sales and marketing efforts and
general and administrative expenses. We have an operating lease for our facility
in Los Gatos, California for which the future minimum lease payments are $62,496
in fiscal 2009 and $3,600 in fiscal 2010. There are no material commitments for
capital expenditures at June 30, 2008.
Management
believes that it has adequate working capital for the next 12
months.
RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June
2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in
interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2006. We do not believe that the
adoption of FIN 48 currently has a material impact on our financial
statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS 157). The standard provides guidance for using fair
value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also responds to
investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies
measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure
fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. The standard
applies whenever other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be
measured at fair
value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new
circumstances. SFAS 157 must be adopted prospectively as of the beginning
of the year it is initially applied. SFAS 157 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe that the adoption
of SFAS 157 currently has a material impact on our financial
statements.
FORWARD
LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS
This
report includes forward-looking statements relating to, among other things,
projections of future results of operations, our plans, objectives and
expectations regarding our future services and operations, and general industry
and business conditions applicable to us. We have based these forward-looking
statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. You
can find many of these forward-looking statements by looking for words such as
"may", "should", "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "estimates", "intends",

documents incorporated herein. These forward-looking statements are subject to a
number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements. Such
risks, uncertainties and assumptions include, but are not limited to, our
limited operating history, our historical losses, the infancy of the wireless
data industry where there is no established market for our products and
services, our ability to adapt to rapid technological changes, our dependence on
wireless networks owned and controlled by others, and the other factors that we
describe in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Form 10KSB for the year
ended March 31, 2008. We claim the protection of the safe harbor for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995.

ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have
established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
material information relating to our company, including our consolidated
subsidiaries, is accumulated and communicated to the officers who certify our
financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of
Directors to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As
required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), management carried out an evaluation, with the
participation of our chief financial officer and chief executive officer, of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2008.
Based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2008, our chief executive officer and
chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act)
are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in
the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC
rules and forms.
(b)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting. In future filings we will disclose any change that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
AND USE OF PROCEEDS
We issued
securities, which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, as follows:
During
the quarter ended June 30, 2008 we issued a convertible promissory note to Flint
Telecom, Ltd. (“Flint”) dated April 23, 2008 for $200,000 (the “Note”). The
Note may be converted at any time into restricted common shares of Semotus at a
conversion price of $0.275 per share, for an aggregate of 727,272 shares
(subject to adjustment for any accrued interest, and subject to adjustment for
anti-dilution). The unpaid principal shall accrue interest at 8% per
annum and all unconverted principal and interest is due and payable on April 23,
2010. We incurred no placement agent fees or expenses for this
$200,000 investment. These funds will be used to increase our sales and
marketing efforts and for other general working capital purposes. On July 22,
2008, Flint converted 100% of the Note, which included the entire outstanding
principal amount of $200,000 and all accrued interest up to and including
July 22, 2008, which comes to a total of $204,000, into restricted common shares
of Semotus Solutions, Inc. at a conversion price equal to $0.275 per share,
which equals a total of 741,818 shares of our restricted common stock. See Note
6 for more details on the Note.
With
respect to this transaction, we relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. The investor was given complete information concerning us and
represented that the shares were being acquired for investment purposes. The
issuance was made without general solicitation or advertising. The
appropriate restrictive legend was placed on the certificate and stop transfer
instructions were issued to the transfer agent.
