C2 GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
Note 1 - Description of Business and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of C2 Global Technologies Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including C2 Communications Technologies Inc. and C2 Investments Inc. These entities, on a combined basis, are referred to as “C2”, the “Company”, or “we” in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries over which C2 exercises control. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
C2 owns certain patents, including two foundational patents in voice over internet protocol (“VoIP”) technology - U.S. Patent Nos. 6,243,373 (the “VoIP Patent”) and 6,438,124 (together the “VoIP Patent Portfolio”), which it has licensed and continues to seek to license. The VoIP Patent, including a corresponding foreign patent and related international patent applications, was acquired from a third party in 2003. At the time of acquisition, the vendor of the VoIP Patent was granted a first priority security interest in the patent in order to secure C2’s obligations under the associated purchase agreement, as discussed in Note 8. The C2 Patent was developed by the Company.
Licensing of intellectual property constitutes the primary business of the Company. C2’s target market consists of carriers, equipment manufacturers, service providers and end users in the internet protocol (“IP”) telephone market who are using C2’s patented VoIP technologies by deploying VoIP networks for phone-to-phone communications. The Company has engaged, and intends to continue to engage, in licensing agreements with third parties domestically and internationally. At present, no ongoing royalties are being paid to the Company. The Company has begun to obtain licensing and royalty revenue from its target market by enforcing its patents, with the assistance of outside counsel, in order to realize value from its intellectual property. In February 2008, the Company entered into settlement and license agreements with AT&T, Inc. (“AT&T”) and Verizon Communications, Inc. (“Verizon”) with respect to its intellectual property. Under the terms of the settlement and license agreements, C2 granted each of AT&T and Verizon a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, fully paid up, royalty free license under any of C2’s present patents and patent applications, including the VoIP Patent, to make, use, sell or otherwise dispose of any goods and services based on such patents.
In the third quarter of 2007, the Company began investing in Internet-based e-commerce businesses, when it acquired minority positions in MyTrade.com, Inc. (sold in the fourth quarter of 2007), Buddy Media, Inc. and LIMOS.com LLC. In the fourth quarter of 2007 it acquired a one-third interest in Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners Internet Fund No. 1 GP LLC. Subsequent to the first quarter of 2008, in April 2008, the Company made an additional investment of $124 in Buddy Media, Inc. These investments are discussed in more detail in Note 6.
Management believes that the unaudited interim data includes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The December 31, 2007 condensed consolidated balance sheet, as included herein, is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The March 31, 2008 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The independent registered public accounting firm’s report on the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
7

The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2008.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Net earnings (loss) per share
The Company is required, in periods in which it has net income, to calculate basic earnings per share (“EPS”) using the two-class method described in EITF Issue No. 03-6, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under SFAS Statement No. 128 (“EITF 03-6”). The two-class method is required because the Company’s Class N preferred shares, each of which is convertible to 40 common shares, have the right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents should the Company declare dividends on its common stock. Under the two-class method, earnings for the period, net of any deductions for contractual preferred stock dividends and any earnings actually distributed during the period, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the common and preferred stockholders. The weighted-average number of common and preferred shares outstanding during the period is then used to calculate basic EPS for each class of shares.
At March 31, 2008, the net effect of including the Company’s potential common shares is anti-dilutive, and therefore diluted EPS is not presented in these condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.
Potential common shares are as follows:

|  | March 31, |
|  | 2008 |  | 2007 |
Assumed conversion of Class N preferred stock |  |  | 24,120 |  |  | 24,440 |
Assumed exercise of options and warrant to purchase shares of common stock |  |  | 2,014,499 |  |  | 2,079,826 |
|  |  | 2,038,619 |  |  | 2,104,266 |

Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates include revenue recognition, purchase accounting (including the ultimate recoverability of intangibles and other long-lived assets), valuation of goodwill and intangibles, valuation of deferred tax assets, liabilities, stock-based compensation, and contingencies surrounding litigation. These estimates have the potential to significantly impact our financial statements, either because of the significance of the financial statement item to which they relate, or because they require judgment and estimation due to the uncertainty involved in measuring, at a specific point in time, events that are continuous in nature.
Intangible assets and goodwill
The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations (pending its adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) which will become effective in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009) and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. All business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets are recorded based on estimates of fair value at the time of the acquisition.
The Company assesses the fair value of its intangible assets and its goodwill based upon the fair value of the Company as a whole, with the Company’s valuation being based upon its market capitalization. Management believes this to be the most reasonable method at the current time, given the absence of a predictable revenue stream and the Company’s corresponding inability to use an alternative valuation method such as a discounted cash flow analysis. If the carrying amount of the Company’s net assets exceeds the Company’s estimated fair value, intangible asset and/or goodwill impairment may be present. The Company measures the goodwill impairment loss based upon the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets, and estimates the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the Company’s recorded goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.
8

Goodwill, in addition to being tested for impairment annually, is tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. No impairment was present upon the performance of these tests at December 31, 2007 and 2006. We cannot predict the occurrence of future events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill. Such events may include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, judgments on the validity of the Company’s VoIP Patent Portfolio, or other factors not known to management at this time.
Investments
Investments are accounted for under the methods appropriate to each type of investment.
Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values, and equity securities having underlying common stock that also do not have readily determinable fair values, are accounted for under the cost method when the Company’s ownership interests do not allow it to exercise significant influence over the entities in which it has invested. When the Company’s ownership interests do allow it to exercise significant influence over the entities in which it has invested, the investments are accounted for under the equity method.
The Company monitors all of its investments for impairment by considering factors such as the economic environment and market conditions, as well as the operational performance of, and other specific factors relating to, the businesses underlying the investments. The fair values of the securities are estimated quarterly using the best available information as of the evaluation date, including data such as the quoted market prices of comparable public companies, market price of the common stock underlying the preferred stock, recent financing rounds of the investee, and other investee-specific information. The Company will record an other than temporary impairment in the carrying value of the investments should the Company conclude that such a decline has occurred.
Impairments, equity pick-ups, dividends and realized gains and losses on equity securities are included in other income in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 6 for further discussion of the Company’s investments.
Liabilities
The Company is involved from time to time in various legal matters arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. On a case by case basis, the Company evaluates the likelihood of possible outcomes for this litigation. Based on this evaluation, the Company determines whether a liability accrual is appropriate. If the likelihood of a negative outcome is probable, and the amount is estimable, the Company accounts for the liability in the current period. A change in the circumstances surrounding any current litigation could have a material impact on the financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company calculates stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as revised December 2004 (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), which it was required to adopt in the first quarter of 2006. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that all stock-based compensation, including options, be expensed at fair value, as of the grant date, over the vesting period. Companies are required to use an option pricing model (e.g. Black-Scholes or Binomial) to determine compensation expense. See Note 4 for further discussion of the Company’s stock-based compensation.
Income taxes
The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”). This statement requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
9

The Company periodically assesses the value of its deferred tax asset, which has been generated by a history of net operating and net capital losses and determines the necessity for a valuation allowance. The Company evaluates which portion, if any, will more likely than not be realized by offsetting future taxable income, taking into consideration any limitations that may exist on its use of its net operating and net capital loss carryforwards.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 had no material effect on the financial position, operations or cash flow of the Company. See Note 9 for further discussion of the Company’s income taxes.
Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments is the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying value at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 for the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and related party debt, approximates fair value.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, expands the required disclosures regarding fair value measurements, and applies to other accounting pronouncements that either require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption encouraged. SFAS No. 157 is to be applied prospectively, with a limited form of retrospective application for several financial instruments. The Company elected to adopt SFAS No. 157 at January 1, 2007, in order to conform to the adoption of a similar Canadian accounting pronouncement by its parent, Counsel Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Counsel”). The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (“FSP FAS 157-2”). FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonrecurring fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. FSP FAS 157-2 states that a measurement is recurring if it happens at least annually and defines nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities as all assets and liabilities other than those meeting the definition of a financial asset or financial liability in SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”, discussed below). FSP FAS 157-2 is effective upon issuance. Entities that applied the measurement and disclosure guidance in SFAS No. 157 in preparing either interim or annual financial statements issued before the effective date of the FSP are not eligible for the FSP’s deferral provisions. Entities are encouraged to adopt SFAS No. 157 in its entirety, as long as they have not yet issued financial statements during that year. An entity that chooses to adopt SFAS No. 157 in its entirety must do so for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities within its scope. As C2 had not employed fair value accounting for any of its nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities prior to its adoption of SFAS No. 157 at January 1, 2007, FSP FAS 157-2 had no effect on its financial position, operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159. SFAS No. 159 provides the option to measure selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value, and requires the fair values of those assets and liabilities to be shown on the face of the balance sheet. It also requires the provision of additional information regarding the reasons for electing the fair value option and the effect of the election on current period earnings. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted if SFAS No. 157 is also adopted. SFAS No. 159 is to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 at January 1, 2008. As noted above, the carrying values of the Company’s cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and related party debt approximate fair value, and therefore the adoption of SFAS No. 159 had no effect on the reported amounts of these assets and liabilites. In addition, the Company has the option to elect fair value accounting for its investments in internet-based E-commerce businesses. The Company has elected to continue to account for these investments using the methods in place at December 31, 2007, as described above under “Investments”. Therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141(R)”) and SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 141(R) replaces SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements. Together, SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 substantially increase the use of fair value and make significant changes to the way companies account for business combinations and noncontrolling interests. Specifically, they will require more assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at fair value as of the acquisition date, liabilities related to contingent consideration to be remeasured at fair value in each subsequent reporting period, acquisition-related costs to be expensed, and noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries to be initially measured at fair value and classified as a separate component of equity. SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. They are to be applied prospectively, with one exception relating to income taxes. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 will have on its financial statements when adopted.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 does not change FASB Statement No. 133’s scope or accounting, but does require expanded disclosures about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. The required disclosures include: how and why an entity is using a derivative instrument or hedging activity, how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and hedged items under FASB Statement No. 133, and how the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows are affected by derivative instruments. SFAS No. 161 also amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“SFAS No. 107”) to clarify that derivative instruments are subject to SFAS No. 107’s concentration-of-credit-risk disclosures. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not plan early adoption of SFAS No. 161 and is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 161 will have on its financial statements when adopted.
Note 3 - Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2008 the Company had stockholders’ equity of $877, as compared to a stockholders’ deficit of $941 at December 31, 2007. Working capital at March 31, 2008 was $171, as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,653 at December 31, 2007. The primary reason for the improvement of the Company’s financial position is the revenue from the settlement and license agreements that the Company entered into in February 2008. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents increased by $404, from $67 at December 31, 2007 to $471 at March 31, 2008.
In the first quarter of 2008, the Company realized revenues from continuing operations for the first time since 2004. However, the Company must continue to realize value from its intellectual property through ongoing licensing and royalty revenue, as discussed in Note 1, in order to continue as a going concern. Absent an ongoing revenue stream, there is significant doubt about the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing to fund its operations without the support of Counsel. Additionally, management believes that the Company does not, at this time, have the ability to obtain additional financing from third parties in order to pursue expansion through acquisition.
At March 31, 2008 the Company had no related party debt owing to its 93% common stockholder, Counsel, as compared to $2,335 owing at December 31, 2007. Unpaid interest on outstanding related party debt balances is capitalized at the end of each quarter and added to the principal amount. Should Counsel make further advances under the existing loan agreements, repayment will be due on the loans’ maturity date of December 31, 2008. Counsel has indicated that it will fund the Company’s minimal cash requirements until at least December 31, 2008.

Note 4 - Stock-Based Compensation
At March 31, 2008, the Company had five stock-based compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 16 to the audited consolidated financial statements contained in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company’s stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, is $23 and $43. The fair value compensation costs of unvested stock options in the first three months of 2008 and 2007 were determined using historical Black-Scholes input information at grant dates between 2004 and 2008. These inputs included expected volatility between 79% and 81%, risk-free interest rates between 1.80% and 5.07%, expected terms of 4.75 years, and an expected dividend yield of zero.
As of March 31, 2008, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options was $176, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 14 months.
The tables below present information regarding all stock options outstanding at March 31, 2008 and 2007:

|  | Options |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price |
Outstanding at December 31, 2007 |  |  | 975,749 |  | $ | 9.88 |

Options exercisable at March 31, 2007 |  |  | 484,013 |  | $ | 39.88 |

No options were forfeited or exercised during the three months ending March 31, 2008 or 2007.
The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at March 31, 2008 was $90, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $0.90 as of the last business day of the period ended March 31, 2008. Intrinsic value is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the options. At March 31, 2008, 649,499 of the outstanding options had exercise prices equal to or greater than $0.90.

Total investments |  | $ | 518 |  | $ | 519 |

Buddy Media, Inc.
On September 12, 2007, the Company acquired 303,030 shares of convertible Series A Preferred Stock of Buddy Media, Inc. (“Buddy Media”) for a total purchase price of $100. Buddy Media is a leading developer of applications for emerging new media platforms, including Facebook, MySpace and other social media sites. The Company’s investment was less than 5% of Buddy Media on an as-converted basis. The Series A preferred shares vote on an as-converted basis with the common stock, are convertible by a vote of the majority of the Series A preferred stockholders or mandatorily convertible in connection with an initial public offering, and are redeemable in certain circumstances, including a liquidation or sale of Buddy Media. They are entitled to dividends in the event that common stock holders also receive dividends. The material terms of the Company’s Stockholders’ Agreement and Subscription Agreement are standard for early investments in development stage companies and include drag along rights, right of first offer, refusal rights, co-sale rights, limited anti-dilution protection, dividend preference and liquidation preference. The Series A preferred shares have standard piggyback registration rights with customary expiration provisions and are subject to a contractual 180 day market stand-off.
On April 15, 2008, the Company acquired 140,636 shares of convertible Series B Preferred Stock of Buddy Media for a total purchase price of $124. The Series B preferred shares are senior to the Series A preferred shares described above, but otherwise have terms and conditions substantially equal to those of the Series A preferred shares. Following the purchase, the Company’s investment remains less than 5% of Buddy Media on an as-converted basis.
The Company’s ownership interest in Buddy Media does not allow it to exercise significant influence over Buddy Media’s operations, and the Company intends to hold the investment for an indefinite period of time. The investment is therefore accounted for under the cost method. At each balance sheet date, the Company estimates the fair value of the securities using the best available information as of the evaluation date. Because Buddy Media’s shares are not traded on an open market, their valuation must be based primarily on investee-specific information. The Company will record an other than temporary impairment of the investment in the event the Company concludes that such impairment has occurred. Based on the Company’s analysis, at March 31, 2008 there has been no impairment in the fair value of its investment in Buddy Media.

LIMOS.com LLC
On September 21, 2007, the Company acquired 400,000 units of AZ Limos LLC (name subsequently changed to LIMOS.com LLC, “LIMOS.com”) for a total purchase price of $400, representing a 16% ownership interest in LIMOS.com. In the first quarter of 2008, the Company’s interest was reduced to 15.69% as a result of investment in LIMOS.com by investors who are not related to the Company.
LIMOS.com was incorporated in July 2007 in order to acquire the assets and operations of Limos.com (“Limos”), a private company that provides qualified leads for licensed limousine operators. The Company’s investment was part of a $2,500 capital raise by LIMOS.com.
LIMOS.com acquired the assets and operations of Limos for a purchase price of $4,300, $2,300 of which was provided by the $2,500 capital raise and $2,000 of which was provided by financing (the “Loan”) from a third party lender (the “Lender”). The Loan bears an effective interest rate of 10.5% per annum and is secured by all the assets of LIMOS.com. All investors in LIMOS.com have pledged their ownership interests as security for the Loan, and certain of the investors have guaranteed $750 of the Loan. The Company’s majority stockholder, Counsel, has guaranteed $250 of the Loan on the Company’s behalf.
Contemporaneously with the Company’s investment in LIMOS.com and Counsel’s guaranty, Counsel and the Lender entered into a Priorities Agreement. Under the terms of the Company’s note payable to Counsel, which is discussed in more detail in Note 3, Note 7 and Note 10 of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had pledged all of its assets to Counsel as security for the related party note. The Priorities Agreement subordinates Counsel’s security interest in the Company’s investment in LIMOS.com in favor of the Lender. As well, certain third party investors have a 20% carried interest in LIMOS.com, which is payable after all investors have received an annual 10% return on their capital from earnings generated by LIMOS.com and after all investors have received the return in full of their invested capital. Upon a liquidation event, following the Company’s receipt of its invested capital and its contractual preferred return, the Company’s right to participate in further distributions may be diluted, to a minimum participation of approximately 11.3%, as the result of exercise of options that have been granted to LIMOS.com employees. The exercise of these options is dependent upon both their three-year vesting period and the attainment of certain financial goals to be achieved by LIMOS.com.
At the date of the Company’s investment in LIMOS.com, its ownership interest did not allow it to exercise significant influence over LIMOS.com’s operations, and the investment was accounted for under the cost method. Subsequently, in November 2007, the Company’s parent, Counsel, increased its ownership of an affiliated entity (the “Affiliate”) from 50% to 100%. The Affiliate has voting control of 50% of LIMOS.com, including the 15.69% owned by the Company. In addition, the Affiliate earns a 2% management fee, based on the invested capital of LIMOS.com, in return for managing the operations of LIMOS.com, and holds two of the four seats on LIMOS.com’s Board of Directors. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is also Counsel’s Chief Executive Officer, is a director of the Affiliate. As a result of Counsel’s acquisition of the Affiliate, the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence over LIMOS.com is deemed to have increased, and therefore the Company currently accounts for its investment in LIMOS.com under the equity method. Consequently, the Company recorded a loss of $1 from its investment for the period September 21, 2007 to December 31, 2007, and a loss of $1 for the first three months of 2008.
Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners Internet Fund No. 1 GP LLC
The Company acquired a one-third interest in Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners Internet Fund No. 1 GP LLC (“Knight’s Bridge GP”), effective December 7, 2007, for a total purchase price of $20. The additional two-thirds interest in Knight’s Bridge GP was acquired by parties affiliated with Counsel. Knight’s Bridge GP was formed to acquire the general partner interests in 2007 Fund 1 LLP (the “Fund”, subsequently renamed Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners Internet Fund No. 1 LP). At March 31, 2008, the Fund held investments in several Internet-based e-commerce businesses. As the general partner of the Fund, Knight’s Bridge GP manages the Fund, in return for which it earns a 2% per annum management fee with respect to the Fund’s invested capital. Knight’s Bridge GP also has a 20% carried interest on any incremental realized gains from the Fund’s investments.
15

The Company’s one-third ownership of Knight’s Bridge GP allows the Company to exercise significant influence, and therefore the Company accounts for its investment under the equity method. The Company recorded income of $7 as its share of Knight’s Bridge GP’s carried interest when the Fund sold one of its investments in December 2007. Following the Fund’s sale of this investment, the Company received a cash distribution of $7 from Knight’s Bridge GP, which was recorded as a reduction of the Company’s investment. The Company had no earnings or loss from this investment during the first quarter of 2008.
Note 7 - Debt
At March 31, 2008 the Company had no outstanding debt other than the accounts payable and accrued liabilities detailed in Note 5. At December 31, 2007, the Company was indebted to Counsel in the aggregate amount of $2,335, consisting of $2,151 principal and $184 accumulated interest. This debt was repaid in full in March 2008 following the Company’s receipt of proceeds from the settlement agreements with AT&T and Verizon that are discussed in Note 1.
The related party notes payable to Counsel, which currently have a zero balance, are scheduled to mature on December 31, 2008. Counsel has indicated that it will fund the Company’s minimal cash requirements until at least December 31, 2008. Should further advances be required under these notes, their repayment is subject to acceleration in certain circumstances including certain events of default. Unpaid interest on outstanding balances accrues to principal quarterly and, accordingly, the Company has no cash payment obligations to Counsel prior to the debt’s maturity.
For further discussion of the related party notes and other transactions with Counsel, see Note 3 and Note 10.
Convertible note payable to a third party
On October 14, 2004, the Company issued the Note with a detachable warrant to a third party lender, in the principal amount of $5,000, due October 14, 2007. Principal was payable at the rate of approximately $147 per month. The Company had the right to prepay the Note at any time, by giving seven business days written notice and paying 120% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note. In January 2007, the lender converted a portion of its note into 10,000 common shares of the Company, and the Company prepaid the remaining Note in full by paying 105% of the amount then due.
The Company’s net loss on the prepayment of the Note was $293, calculated as follows:

Amount paid to third party lender |  | $ | 1,388 |
Balance of Note owing at January 10, 2007, net of $8.8 converted to common shares |  |  | (1,315 | )
Accrued interest owing for period January 1 - 10, 2007 |  |  | (4 | )
Net premium paid |  |  | 69 |
Premium related to excess of $0.88 conversion price over $0.70 market price: 10,000 shares x $0.18 |  |  | (2 | )
Write-off unamortized discount and financing costs |  |  | 226 |
Net loss on prepayment of Note |  | $ | 293 |

The net loss of $293 was approximately equal to the total of the interest expense and discount amortization that the Company would have incurred by holding the debt to its contractual maturity of October 14, 2007.
16

Warrant to purchase common stock
In addition to the Note, the Company issued a common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrant”) to the third party lender, entitling the lender to purchase up to one million shares of common stock, subject to adjustment. The Warrant entitles the holder to purchase the stock through the earlier of (i) October 13, 2009 or (ii) the date on which the average closing price for any consecutive ten trading dates shall equal or exceed 15 times the exercise price. The exercise price is $1.00 per share as to the first 250,000 shares, $1.08 per share for the next 250,000 shares and $1.20 per share for the remaining 500,000 shares. The exercise price is 125%, 135% and 150% of the average closing price for the ten trading days immediately prior to the issue date of the Warrant, respectively.
At the time it was issued in October 2004, the Warrant was classified as a liability in the consolidated financial statements, as it was linked to a registration payment arrangement and thus met the conditions for this classification under the GAAP in effect at that date. The details of the registration payment arrangement were previously disclosed in the Company’s Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on October 20, 2004. In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements (“FSP EITF 00-19-2”). According to FSP EITF 00-19-2, financial instrument(s) such as the Warrant should be recorded in the financial statements using appropriate GAAP without regard to the contingent obligation to transfer consideration pursuant to a related registration payment arrangement, and any contingent obligations under the registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with GAAP relating to liabilities. Adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-2 is permitted for interim or annual periods for which financial statements or interim reports have not been issued. Retrospective application is not permitted. The Company evaluated the requirements of FSP EITF 00-19-2, determined that it is applicable to the Warrant, and chose to adopt FSP EITF 00-19-2 effective October 1, 2006, the beginning of the Company’s 2006 fourth quarter. The impact of adopting FSP EITF 00-19-2 on the Company’s financial position was as follows: long-term liabilities were reduced by $203, the fair value of the Warrant at October 1, 2006, and stockholders’ equity was increased by $430, the fair value of the Warrant when issued at October 14, 2004. The difference between these two amounts, $227, was recorded as a charge to opening retained earnings. At the date of adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-2, and at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company’s assessment was that payments relating to the registration payment arrangement were not probable, and therefore the Company has not recorded any liability in connection with such a payment.
Note 8 - Patent Participation Fee
In the fourth quarter of 2003, C2 acquired Patent No. 6,243,373 from a third party. The consideration paid was $100 plus a 35% participation fee payable to the third party relating to the net proceeds from future licensing and/or enforcement actions from the C2 VoIP Patent Portfolio. Net proceeds are defined as amounts collected from third parties net of the direct costs associated with the maintenance, licensing and enforcement of the VoIP Patent Portfolio. Prior to the first quarter of 2008, no payments were required, as the relevant costs incurred exceeded licensing revenues. As a result of settlement and license agreements entered into in the first quarter of 2008, $349 was accrued for this fee for the quarter.
Note 9 - Income Taxes
In the first quarter of 2008, the Company recognized deferred income tax expense of $921. The income tax expense relates to the utilization, against year-to-date estimated 2008 taxable income, of substantially all of the available tax losses previously recognized as a deferred tax asset as at December 31, 2007. The remaining $79 net deferred income tax asset balance at March 31, 2008 reflects the tax benefit of available tax losses considered “more likely than not” to be utilized during the remainder of 2008. The Company recorded no income tax benefit from its losses in the three months ended March 31, 2007 because of the uncertainty at that time surrounding the realization of the related deferred tax asset.
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, as of December 31, 2007, the Company recorded a reduction in its deferred tax asset of approximately $13,167, attributable to unrecognized tax benefits of $24,000 associated with prior years’ tax losses, which are not expected to be available primarily due to change of control usage restrictions, and a reduction in the rate of the tax benefit associated with all of its tax attributes. Due to the Company’s historic policy of applying a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, the effect of the above was an offsetting reduction in the Company’s valuation allowance. Accordingly, the above reduction had no net impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flow.
17

In the event that these tax benefits are recognized in the future, there should be no impact on the Company’s effective tax rate, unless recognition occurs at a time when all of the Company’s historic tax loss carryforwards have been utilized and/or the associated valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets has been reversed. In such circumstances, the amount recognized at that time should result in a reduction in the Company’s effective tax rate.
The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Because the Company has tax loss carryforwards in excess of the unrecognized tax benefits, the Company did not accrue for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits either upon the adoption of FIN 48 or in the current period.
It is reasonably possible that the total amount of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. These changes may be the result of future audits, the application of “change in ownership” rules leading to further restrictions in tax losses arising from changes in the capital structure of the Company and/or that of its parent company Counsel, reductions in available tax loss carryforwards through future merger, acquisition and/or disposition transactions, failure to continue a significant level of business activity, or other circumstances not known to management at this time. Any such additional limitations could require the Company to pay income taxes on its future earnings and record an income tax expense to the extent of such liability, despite the existence of tax loss carryforwards. At this time, an estimate of the range of reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made.
The Company has a history of generating tax losses arising from 1991 to the present. All loss taxation years remain open for audit pending their application against income in a subsequent taxation year. In general, the statute of limitations expires 3 years from the date that a Company files a tax return applying prior year tax loss carryforwards against income in the later year. In 2006, the Company applied historic tax loss carryforwards against debt forgiveness income. Accordingly, the 2004 through 2007 taxation years remain open. The Company’s remaining federal tax loss carryforwards at the end of March 2008 were comprised of approximately $51,000 of unrestricted net operating tax losses, $35,000 of restricted net operating tax losses subject to an annual usage restriction of $2,500 per annum until 2008 and $1,700 per annum thereafter, and $34,000 of unrestricted capital losses.
The Company historically has been subject to state income tax in multiple jurisdictions. While the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for state income tax purposes in certain states where it previously conducted business, its available state tax loss carryforwards may differ substantially by jurisdiction and, in general, are subject to the same or similar restrictions as to expiry and usage described above. In addition, in certain states the Company’s state tax loss carryforwards that were attributable to the business of WXC Corp. ceased to be available to the Company following the sale of the shares of this company in 2006. It is entirely possible that in the future the Company may not have tax loss carryforwards available to shield income earned for state tax purposes, which is attributable to a particular state, from being subject to tax in that particular state.
In the first quarter of 2006, as discussed in Note 2, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R). Effective December 31, 2006, as provided in FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards (“FSP 123(R)-3”), the Company elected to apply “the short cut method”, as outlined in FSP 123(R)-3, as the methodology for recognizing any related windfall tax benefits as a credit to additional paid-in capital. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) and “the short cut method” had no immediate impact from an income tax perspective, since SFAS No. 123(R) specifically prohibits the recognition of any windfall tax benefits that have not been realized in cash or in the form of a reduction of income taxes payable. The Company, to date, has not realized such benefits either in cash or in the form a of a reduction in income taxes payable due to the continued availability of net operating tax loss carryforwards. The adoption of the “short cut method” will therefore only have application in the event of the Company incurring an income tax liability at a future date.

Note 10 - Related Party Transactions
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company repaid the $2,335 owing to Counsel at December 31, 2007, as well as $43 in interest accrued during the quarter. Should Counsel make additional advances under the terms of the existing loan agreements between the Company and Counsel, these advances will accrue interest at 10%, compounded quarterly, and will be due on December 31, 2008. Additionally, any outstanding loan balance will be subject to an accelerated maturity in certain circumstances. For further discussion of the loan transactions with Counsel, see Note 3 and Note 7.
The Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of C2 is an employee of Counsel. As CEO of C2, he is entitled to an annual salary of $138, plus a discretionary bonus of 100% of the base salary. No bonus was paid for the year ended December 31, 2007.
In December 2004, C2 entered into a management services agreement (the “Agreement”) with Counsel. Under the terms of the Agreement, C2 agreed to make payment to Counsel for the past and future services to be provided by certain Counsel personnel to C2 for each of 2004 and 2005. In March 2006 C2 entered into a similar agreement with Counsel for services to be provided in 2006. The basis for such services charged was an allocation, based on time incurred, of the cost of the base compensation paid by Counsel to those employees providing services to C2. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the cost of such services was $280, $450 and $225, respectively. The fees for 2004, 2005 and 2006 were forgiven on December 30, 2006 as part of Counsel’s forgiveness of its outstanding debt from C2. In May 2007, the Company and Counsel entered into a similar agreement for services provided during 2007, and the cost for 2007 was $225. In the first quarter of 2008, the Company and Counsel reached an agreement that Counsel will continue to provide these services in 2008 on the same cost basis. For the first quarter of 2008, the costs were estimated to be $90.

Legal Proceedings
On April 16, 2004, certain stockholders of the Company (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a putative derivative complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of San Diego, (the “Complaint”) against the Company, WorldxChange Corporation (sic), Counsel Communications LLC, and Counsel Corporation as well as four present and former officers and directors of the Company, some of whom also are or were directors and/or officers of the other corporate defendants (collectively, the “Defendants”). The Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Defendants, in their respective roles as controlling stockholder and directors and officers of the Company committed breaches of the fiduciary duties of care, loyalty and good faith and were unjustly enriched, and that the individual Defendants committed waste of corporate assets, abuse of control and gross mismanagement. The Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, restitution, disgorgement of allegedly unlawful profits, benefits and other compensation, attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with the Complaint. The Company believes that these claims are without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend this action. Although there is no certainty that this matter will be resolved in the Company’s favor, at this time the Company does not believe that the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
The Company, Counsel Communications LLC, Counsel Corporation and four of its current and former executives and board members were named in a securities action filed in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of San Diego (the “Court”) on April 16, 2004, in which the plaintiffs made claims nearly identical to those set forth in the Complaint in the derivative suit described above. The Company believes that these claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend this action. Although there is no certainty that this matter will be resolved in the Company’s favor, at this time the Company does not believe that the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial position or liquidity. In February 2006, the plaintiffs in both this action and the derivative action described above changed attorneys. On July 31, 2007, the trial date for both actions was moved to June 6, 2008.
At our Adjourned Meeting of Stockholders held on December 30, 2003, our stockholders, among other things, approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, deleting Article VI thereof (regarding liquidations, reorganizations, mergers and the like). Stockholders who were entitled to vote at the meeting and advised us in writing, prior to the vote on the amendment, that they dissented and intended to demand payment for their shares if the amendment was effectuated, were entitled to exercise their appraisal rights and obtain payment in cash for their shares under Sections 607.1301 - 607.1333 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “Florida Act”), provided their shares were not voted in favor of the amendment. In January 2004, we sent appraisal notices in compliance with Florida corporate statutes to all stockholders who had advised us of their intention to exercise their appraisal rights. The appraisal notices included our estimate of fair value of our shares, at $4.00 per share on a post-split basis. These stockholders had until February 29, 2004 to return their completed appraisal notices along with certificates for the shares for which they were exercising their appraisal rights. Approximately 33 stockholders holding approximately 74,000 shares of our stock returned completed appraisal notices by February 29, 2004. A stockholder of 20 shares notified us of his acceptance of our offer of $4.00 per share, while the stockholders of the remaining shares did not accept our offer. Subject to the qualification that, in accordance with the Florida Act, we may not make any payment to a stockholder seeking appraisal rights if, at the time of payment, our total assets are less than our total liabilities, stockholders who accepted our offer to purchase their shares at the estimated fair value will be paid for their shares within 90 days of our receipt of a duly executed appraisal notice. If we should be required to make any payments to dissenting stockholders, Counsel will fund any such amounts through advances to C2. Stockholders who did not accept our offer were required to indicate their own estimate of fair value, and if we do not agree with such estimates, the parties are required to go to court for an appraisal proceeding on an individual basis, in order to establish fair value. Because we did not agree with the estimates submitted by most of the dissenting stockholders, we have sought a judicial determination of the fair value of the common stock held by the dissenting stockholders. On June 24, 2004, we filed suit against the dissenting stockholders seeking a declaratory judgment, appraisal and other relief in the Circuit Court for the 17 th Judicial District in Broward County, Florida. On February 4, 2005, the declaratory judgment action was stayed pending the resolution of the direct and derivative lawsuits filed in California. This decision was made by the judge in the Florida declaratory judgment action due to the similar nature of certain allegations brought by the defendants in the declaratory judgment matter and the California lawsuits described above. On March 7, 2005, the dissenting shareholders appealed the decision of the District Court judge to the Fourth District Court of Appeals for the State of Florida, which denied the appeal on June 21, 2005. When the declaratory judgment matter resumes, there is no assurance that this matter will be resolved in our favor and an unfavorable outcome of this matter could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

In connection with the Company’s efforts to enforce its patent rights, C2 Communications Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against AT&T, Inc., Verizon Communications, Inc., Qwest Communications International, Inc., Bellsouth Corporation, Sprint Nextel Corporation, Global Crossing Limited, and Level 3 Communications, Inc. The complaint was filed in the Marshall Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on June 15, 2006. The complaint alleges that these companies’ VoIP services and systems infringe the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 6,243,373, entitled “Method and Apparatus for Implementing a Computer Network/Internet Telephone System”. The complaint seeks an injunction, monetary damages and costs. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in this litigation. In April 2007, a trial date of August 4, 2008 was set for the lawsuit. In June 2007, the complaint against Bellsouth Corporation was dismissed without prejudice. In February 2008, the Company settled the complaints against AT&T and Verizon by entering into settlement and license agreements, as discussed in Note 1.
The Company is involved in various other legal matters arising out of its operations in the normal course of business, none of which are expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Overview and Recent Developments
C2 Global Technologies Inc. (“C2” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Florida in 1983 under the name “MedCross, Inc.” which was changed to “I-Link Incorporated” in 1997, to “Acceris Communications Inc.” in 2003, and to “C2 Global Technologies Inc.” in 2005. The most recent name change reflects a change in the strategic direction of the Company following the disposition of its Telecommunications business in the third quarter of 2005. In the second quarter of 2006, the Company opened an office in Texas.
C2 owns certain patents, detailed below under “Company History” and “Intellectual Property”, including two foundational patents in voice over internet protocol (“VoIP”) technology - U.S. Patent Nos. 6,243,373 and 6,438,124 (together the “VoIP Patent Portfolio”), which it seeks to license. Subsequent to the disposition of its Telecommunications business, licensing of intellectual property constitutes the primary business of the Company. C2’s target market consists of carriers, equipment manufacturers, service providers and end users in the internet protocol (“IP”) telephone market who are using C2’s patented VoIP technologies by deploying VoIP networks for phone-to-phone communications. The Company has engaged, and intends to continue to engage, in licensing agreements with third parties domestically and internationally. At present, no ongoing royalties are being paid to the Company. The Company plans to obtain licensing and royalty revenue from the target market for its patents. In this regard, in the third quarter of 2005, the Company retained legal counsel with expertise in the enforcement of intellectual property rights, and on June 15, 2006, C2 Communications Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against AT&T, Inc. (“AT&T”), Verizon Communications, Inc. (“Verizon”), Qwest Communications International, Inc., Bellsouth Corporation, Sprint Nextel Corporation, Global Crossing Limited, and Level 3 Communications, Inc. The complaint was filed in the Marshall Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, and alleges that these companies’ VoIP services and systems infringe C2’s U.S. Patent No. 6,243,373, entitled “Method and Apparatus for Implementing a Computer Network/Internet Telephone System” (the “VoIP Patent”). The complaint seeks an injunction, monetary damages, and costs. In April 2007, a trial date of August 4, 2008 was set for the lawsuit. In June 2007, the complaint against Bellsouth Corporation was dismissed without prejudice. In February 2008, the Company entered into settlement and license agreements with AT&T and Verizon. Under the terms of the settlement and license agreements, C2 granted each of AT&T and Verizon a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, fully paid up, royalty free license under any of C2’s present patents and patent applications, including the VoIP Patent, to make, use, sell or otherwise dispose of any goods and services based on such patents.

In the third quarter of 2007, the Company began investing in Internet-based e-commerce businesses, when it acquired minority positions in MyTrade.com, Inc., Buddy Media, Inc. (“Buddy Media”) and LIMOS.com LLC. Its investment in MyTrade.com, Inc. was sold in the fourth quarter of 2007. In the fourth quarter of 2007 the Company acquired a one-third interest in Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners Internet Fund No. 1 GP LLC (“Knight’s Bridge GP”). The additional two-thirds interest in Knight’s Bridge GP was acquired by parties affiliated with the Company’s majority stockholder, Counsel Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Counsel”). Knight’s Bridge GP was formed to acquire the general partner interests in 2007 Fund 1 LLP (the “Fund”, subsequently renamed Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners Internet Fund No. 1 LP). The Fund holds investments in several Internet-based e-commerce businesses. As the general partner of the Fund, Knight’s Bridge GP manages the Fund, in return for which it earns a 2% per annum management fee with respect to the Fund’s invested capital. Knight’s Bridge GP also has a 20% carried interest on any incremental realized gains from the Fund’s investments.
In the second quarter of 2008, the Company increased its investment in Buddy Media. Following the purchase, the Company’s investment in Buddy Media remains less than 5% on an as-converted basis.
Company History
In 1994, we began operating as an Internet service provider and quickly identified that the emerging IP environment was a promising basis for enhanced service delivery. We soon turned to designing and building an IP telecommunications platform consisting of proprietary software and hardware, and leased telecommunications lines. The goal was to create a platform with the quality and reliability necessary for voice transmission.
In 1997, we began offering enhanced services over a mixed IP-and-circuit-switched network platform. These services offered a blend of traditional and enhanced communication services and combined the inherent cost advantages of an IP-based network with the reliability of the existing Public Switched Telephone Network (“PSTN”).
In August 1997, we acquired MiBridge, Inc. (“MiBridge”), a communications technology company engaged in the design, development, integration and marketing of a range of software telecommunications products that support multimedia communications over the PSTN, local area networks (“LANs”) and IP networks. The acquisition of MiBridge permitted us to accelerate the development and deployment of IP technology across our network platform.
In 1998, we first deployed our real-time IP communications network platform. With this new platform, all core operating functions such as switching, routing and media control became software-driven. This new platform represented the first nationwide, commercially viable VoIP platform of its kind. Following the launch of our software-defined VoIP platform in 1998, we continued to refine and enhance the platform to make it even more efficient and capable for our partners and customers.
Commencing in 2001, the Company entered the Telecommunications business. The assets of the Company’s Telecommunications segment were owned through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Acceris Communications Corp. (name changed to WXC Corp. (“WXCC”) in October 2005). This business was sold effective September 30, 2005.
In 2002, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 6,438,124 (the “C2 Patent”) for the Company’s Voice Internet Transmission System. Filed in 1996, the C2 Patent reflects foundational thinking, application, and practice in the VoIP services market. The C2 Patent encompasses the technology that allows two parties to converse phone-to-phone, regardless of the distance, by transmitting voice/sound via the Internet. No special telephone or computer is required at either end of the call. The apparatus that makes this technically possible is a system of Internet access nodes, or Voice Engines, which provide digitized, compressed, and encrypted duplex or simplex Internet voice/sound. The end result is a high-quality calling experience whereby the Internet serves only as the transport medium and as such, can lead to reduced toll charges. Shortly after the issuance of our core C2 Patent, we disposed of our domestic U.S. VoIP network in a transaction with Buyers United, Inc., which closed on May 1, 2003. The sale included the physical assets required to operate our nationwide network using our patented VoIP technology (constituting the core business of the I-Link Communications Inc. (“ILC”) business) and included a fully paid non-exclusive perpetual license to our proprietary software-based network convergence solution for voice and data. The sale of the ILC business removed essentially all operations that did not pertain to our proprietary software-based convergence solution for voice and data. As part of the sale, we retained all of our intellectual property rights and patents.
22

In 2003, we added to our VoIP patent holdings when we acquired the VoIP Patent, which included a corresponding foreign patent and related international patent applications. The vendor of the VoIP Patent was granted a first priority security interest in the patent in order to secure C2’s obligations under the associated purchase agreement. The VoIP Patent, together with the existing C2 Patent and related international patents and patent applications, form our international VoIP Patent Portfolio that covers the basic process and technology that enable VoIP communication as it is used in the market today. Telecommunications companies that enable their customers to originate a phone call on a traditional handset, transmit any part of that call via IP, and then terminate the call over the traditional telephone network, are utilizing C2’s patented technology. The comprehensive nature of the VoIP Patent is summarized in the patent’s abstract, which, in pertinent part, describes the technology as follows: “A method and apparatus are provided for communicating audio information over a computer network. A standard telephone connected to the PSTN may be used to communicate with any other PSTN-connected telephone, where a computer network, such as the Internet, is the transmission facility instead of conventional telephone transmission facilities.” As part of the consideration for the acquisition of the VoIP Patent, the vendor is entitled to receive 35% of the net proceeds from our VoIP Patent Portfolio.
Revenue and contributions from operations related to our intellectual property, up to December 31, 2004, were based on the sales and deployment of our VoIP solutions, which we ceased directly marketing in 2005, rather than on the receipt of licensing fees and royalties. Revenue in the first quarter of 2008 was the result of entering into the settlement and license agreements with AT&T and Verizon, described above. We expect to generate ongoing licensing and royalty revenue in this business as we gain recognition of the underlying value in our VoIP Patent Portfolio through the enforcement of our intellectual property rights, as discussed above under “Overview and Recent Developments”.
As discussed above under “Overview and Recent Developments”, in the third quarter of 2007, the Company began investing in Internet-based e-commerce businesses through its acquisitions of minority positions in MyTrade.com, Inc. (sold in the fourth quarter of 2007), Buddy Media, Inc. and LIMOS.com LLC, and it continued its investment activities in the fourth quarter of 2007 with the acquisition of a one-third interest in Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners Internet Fund No. 1 GP LLC. At March 31, 2008 the Company’s investment in these businesses totalled $518. The Company’s objective is to realize long-term capital appreciation as the value of these businesses is developed and recognized.
Intellectual Property
In 2005 and 2006, the Company was awarded patents for the VoIP Patent from the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, and Canada. In the fourth quarter of 2006, the European Patent Office advised that it intended to grant C2 a European patent that is equivalent to the VoIP Patent. The decision to grant the European patent was subsequently published on March 21, 2007 and in June 2007 the Company applied for the validation of the patent in fifteen European countries. In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company was awarded a patent in Canada for the C2 Patent.

In addition to the C2 and VoIP Patents, which cover the foundation of any VoIP system, our patent portfolio includes:
Private IP Communication Network Architecture (U.S. Patent No. 7,215,663 granted May 8, 2007) - This invention relates generally to multimedia communications networks. The patents’ Internet Linked Network Architecture delivers telecommunication type services across a network utilizing digital technology. The unique breadth and flexibility of telecommunication services offered by the Internet Linked Network Architecture flow directly from the network over which they are delivered and the underlying design principles and architectural decisions employed during its creation.
C2 also owns intellectual property that solves teleconferencing problems:
Delay Synchronization in Compressed Audio Systems (U.S. Patent No. 5,754,534 granted May 19, 1998) - This invention eliminates popping and clicking when switching between parties in a communications conferencing system employing signal compression techniques to reduce bandwidth requirements.
24

Volume Control Arrangement for Compressed Information Signals (U.S. Patent No. 5,898,675 granted April 27, 1999) - This invention allows for modifying amplitude, frequency or phase characteristics of an audio or video signal in a compressed signal system without altering the encoder or decoder employed by each conferee in a conferencing setting, so that individuals on the conference call can each adjust their own gain levels without signal degradation.
Industry
The communications services industry continues to evolve, both domestically and internationally, providing significant opportunities and risks to the participants in these markets. Factors that have driven this change include:

· | entry of new competitors and investment of substantial capital in existing and new services, resulting in significant price competition

· | technological advances resulting in a proliferation of new services and products and rapid increases in network capacity

· | The Telecommunications Act of 1996, as amended; and

· | growing deregulation of communications services markets in the United States and in other countries around the world

Historically, the communications services industry transmitted voice and data over separate networks using different technologies. Traditional carriers have typically built telephone networks based on circuit switching technology, which establishes and maintains a dedicated path for each telephone call until the call is terminated.
VoIP is a technology that can replace the traditional telephone network. This type of data network is more efficient than a dedicated circuit network because the data network is not restricted by the one-call, one-line limitation of a traditional telephone network. This improved efficiency creates cost savings that can be either passed on to the consumer in the form of lower rates or retained by the VoIP provider. In addition, VoIP technology enables the provision of enhanced services such as unified messaging.
Competition
We are seeking to have telecommunications service providers (“TSPs”), equipment suppliers (“ESs”) and end users license our patents. In this regard, our competition is existing technology, outside the scope of our patents, which allows TSPs and ESs to deliver communication services to their customers.
VoIP has become a widespread and accepted telecommunications technology, with a variety of applications in the telecommunications and other industries. While we and many others believe that we will see continued proliferation of this technology in the coming years, and while we believe that this proliferation will occur within the context of our patents, there is no certainty that this will occur, and that it will occur in a manner that requires organizations to license our patents.
Government Regulation
Recent legislation in the United States, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has increased regulatory and compliance costs as well as the scope and cost of work provided to us by our independent registered public accountants and legal advisors. The Company became subject to Section 404 reporting as of December 31, 2007. As implementation guidelines continue to evolve, we expect to continue to incur costs, which may or may not be material, in order to comply with legislative requirements or rules, pronouncements and guidelines by regulatory bodies.

Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates required for the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Report were those related to intangible assets, goodwill, investments, deferred tax assets, liabilities, and contingencies surrounding litigation. These estimates are considered significant because of the significance of the financial statement item to which they relate, or because they require judgment and estimation due to the uncertainty involved in measuring, at a specific point in time, events that are continuous in nature. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to intangible assets, contingencies, collectibility of receivables and litigation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and there were no material changes to these policies during the first quarter of 2008. To aid in the understanding of our financial reporting, a summary of these policies is provided in Note 2 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Report.

Management’s Discussion of Financial Condition
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2008 the Company had stockholders’ equity of $877, as compared to a stockholders’ deficit of $941 at December 31, 2007. Working capital at March 31, 2008 was $171, as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,653 at December 31, 2007. The primary reason for the improvement of the Company’s financial position is the revenue from the settlement and license agreements that the Company entered into in February 2008. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents increased by $404, from $67 at December 31, 2007 to $471 at March 31, 2008.
In the first quarter of 2008, the Company realized revenues from continuing operations for the first time since 2004. However, the Company must continue to realize value from its intellectual property through ongoing licensing and royalty revenue, as discussed in Note 1 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in order to continue as a going concern. Absent an ongoing revenue stream, there is significant doubt about the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing to fund its operations without the support of Counsel. Additionally, management believes that the Company does not, at this time, have the ability to obtain additional financing from third parties in order to pursue expansion through acquisition.
At March 31, 2008 the Company had no related party debt owing to its 93% common stockholder, Counsel, as compared to $2,335 owing at December 31, 2007. Unpaid interest on outstanding related party debt balances is capitalized at the end of each quarter and added to the principal amount. Should Counsel make further advances under the existing loan agreements, repayment will be due on the loans’ maturity date of December 31, 2008. Counsel has indicated that it will fund the Company’s minimal cash requirements until at least December 31, 2008.
Working Capital
Cash and cash equivalents were $471 at March 31, 2008 as compared to $67 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $404.
Our working capital at March 31, 2008 was $171 as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,653 at December 31, 2007. In addition to the increase in cash and cash equivalents, and the repayment of the debt owing to Counsel, the Company’s other current assets increased by $238. $175 of this increase was due to the Company’s prepayment of D&O insurance coverage up to May 2009, and $67 to an increase in non-trade accounts receivable. These increases in current assets were partially offset by a decrease of $921 in the Company’s deferred tax asset. Additionally, there was a $232 increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, from $402 at December 31, 2007 to $634 at March 31, 2008. The Company’s ability to maintain positive working capital and achieve long-term viability is dependent upon success in the pursuit of licensing arrangements and/or the ability to raise additional funds to meet its business objectives. At this time, Counsel has indicated that it will fund the Company’s minimal cash requirements until at least December 31, 2008.
Cash flows from operating activities
Cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $2,739, as compared to cash used of $347 (excluding discontinued operations) during the same period in 2007. For the first quarter of 2008 the Company had net income from continuing operations of $1,795, as compared to a net loss of $625 for the first quarter of 2007, an increase of $2,420. The difference was primarily due to the fact that in February 2008 the Company entered into settlement and license agreements related to its patent licensing litigation and realized net patent licensing proceeds of $3,041.
The most significant change in non-cash items during the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to the same period in 2007, was the reduction in debt-related costs, from $268 to $0. In 2007, the Company’s non-cash cost of prepaying debt to its third-party lender was $224, and it also recorded interest and debt amortization costs of $8. There were no similar costs in 2008. As well, in 2007 the Company capitalized $36 in interest on its debt owing to Counsel; as the debt was repaid in 2008 there were no similar items in 2008. The use of cash related to other assets was $238 in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to cash provided of $2 in the first quarter of 2007; this was largely due to the Company’s 2008 $175 prepayment of directors and officers insurance, and an increase of $67 in non-trade accounts receivable. Accounts payable increased by $232 primarily due to costs associated with the Company’s patent licensing revenue.

Cash flows from investing activities
No net cash was provided by or used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2008 or 2007.
Cash flows from financing activities
Financing activities used net cash of $2,335 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to providing $349 for the same period in 2007. The sole financing activity in 2008 was the repayment of the debt owing to Counsel at December 31, 2007. During the first three months of 2007, Counsel advanced $1,811. These advances were largely used to fund the repayment in full of the $1,462 third party Note that was outstanding at December 31, 2006.

Management’s Discussion of Results of Operations
Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2007
Patent licensing revenue is derived from licensing our intellectual property. Our VoIP Patent Portfolio is an international patent portfolio covering the basic process and technology that enables VoIP communications. Our patented technology enables telecommunications customers to originate a phone call on a traditional handset, transmit any part of that call via the Internet, and then terminate the call over the traditional telephone network. The Company has engaged, and intends to engage, in licensing agreements with third parties domestically and internationally. At present, no royalties are being paid to the Company. The Company plans to obtain licensing and royalty revenue from the target market for its patents. In this regard, in the third quarter of 2005, the Company retained legal counsel with expertise in the enforcement of intellectual property rights, and on June 15, 2006 C2 Communications Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against AT&T, Inc., Verizon Communications, Inc., Qwest Communications International, Inc., Bellsouth Corporation, Sprint Nextel Corporation, Global Crossing Limited, and Level 3 Communications, Inc. The complaint was filed in the Marshall Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, and alleges that these companies’ VoIP services and systems infringe the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 6,243,373, entitled “Method and Apparatus for Implementing a Computer Network/Internet Telephone System”. The complaint seeks an injunction, monetary damages and costs. In April 2007, a trial date of August 4, 2008 was set for the lawsuit. In June 2007, the complaint against Bellsouth Corporation was dismissed without prejudice. In February 2008, the Company settled the complaints against AT&T and Verizon by entering into settlement and license agreements, as described above.
We expect to generate licensing and royalty revenue in this business as we gain recognition of the underlying value in our VoIP Patent Portfolio through the enforcement of our intellectual property rights. In connection with the 2003 acquisition of U.S. Patent No. 6,243,373, the Company agreed to remit, to the former owner of the patent, 35% of the net proceeds from future revenue derived from the licensing of the VoIP Patent Portfolio. Net proceeds are defined as amounts collected from third parties net of the direct costs associated with the maintenance, licensing and enforcement of the VoIP Patent Portfolio.
Patent licensing revenues were $6,225 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and $0 during the same period in 2007. These revenues, as noted above, were from settlement and license agreements entered into with AT&T and Verizon.
Patent licensing expense was $3,184 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and $0 during the same period in 2007. This expense includes four components: disbursements directly related to patent licensing, contingency fees earned by our legal counsel, ongoing business expenses related to patent licensing, and the participation fee of 35% payable to the vendor of the VoIP Patent.
Selling, general, administrative and other expense was $276 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $279 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The significant items included:

· | Compensation expense was $58 in the first quarter of 2007, compared to $78 in the first quarter of 2006. The quarterly salary earned by the CEO of C2 remained unchanged at $35; however, stock-based compensation expense decreased by $20, from $43 in 2007 to $23 in 2008.

· | Legal expense was $11 in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $21 in the first quarter of 2007.

· | Accounting and tax consulting expenses were $30 in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $38 in the first quarter of 2007.

· | Directors’ fees were $32 in the first quarter of 2008, an increase of $4 from $28 in the first quarter of 2007. The increase reflects the addition of a Class III director, David Turock, in January 2008.

· | Management fees charged by our controlling stockholder, Counsel, were $90 in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to $56 in the first quarter of 2007. The increase reflects the additional use of Counsel resources in connection with the patent licensing litigation and the Company’s investments in Internet-based e-commerce businesses.

29

· | Directors and officers insurance expense was $37 in the first quarter of both 2008 and 2007.

Depreciation and amortization - This expense was $5 in the first quarter of both 2008 and 2007, and relates to the amortization of the cost of the VoIP Patent.
The changes in other income (expense) are primarily related to the following:

· | Related party interest expense was $43 in the first quarter of 2008, as compared to $36 in the first quarter of 2007. The increase of $7 is primarily due to an increase in the average balance owing to Counsel during the quarter. The loan to Counsel was repaid in March 2008.

· | Third party interest expense was $0 during the first quarter of 2008, as compared to $12 during the first quarter of 2007. All of the interest expense in 2007 related to the debt held by the Company’s third party lender. The loan was prepaid in full effective January 10, 2007.

· | In the first quarter of 2008, the Company had other expense of $1, as compared to other expense of $293 during the first quarter of 2007. The expense in 2008 is the Company’s share of the first quarter operating loss of LIMOS.com, an investment in which it is deemed to have significant influence and thus accounts for using the equity method. The $293 other expense in 2007 is the loss incurred by the Company related to its prepayment of the debt owed to the third party lender, as noted above.

Discontinued operations - In the first quarter of 2008, the Company had no income or loss from discontinued operations, as compared to a loss of $2 (net of tax of $0) incurred in the first quarter of 2007. The 2007 loss consisted of telecommunications-related taxes and regulatory fees.
Inflation. Inflation did not have a significant impact on our results during the last fiscal quarter.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions. We have not engaged in material off-balance sheet transactions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Our exposure to market risk is limited to interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of interest rates. Due to the fact that our cash and cash equivalents are deposited with major financial institutions, we believe that we are not subject to any material interest rate risk as it relates to interest income. As to interest expense, we do not believe that we are subject to material market risk on our fixed rate debt with Counsel in the near term, which had a zero balance at March 31, 2008.
We did not have any foreign currency hedges or other derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2008. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and do not currently utilize derivative financial instruments. Our operations are conducted primarily in the United States and as such are not subject to material foreign currency exchange rate risk.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”) conducted evaluations of our disclosure controls and procedures. As defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Further, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first fiscal quarter of 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
