EXPLANATORY NOTE

The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 to Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB/A is to restate the unaudited financial statements of a21, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, or “our”) for the fiscal period ended March 31, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 15, 2006 to reflect a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses. In connection with our adoption of SFAS 123(R) during 2006, we previously recognized stock compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2006 as if all options granted during the quarter were fully vested at grant date rather than over the requisite service (vesting) period as proscribed by SFAS 123(R). The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share of recognizing stock based compensation expense over the vesting period:

Except as otherwise noted herein, this Amendment No. 1 to Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB/A does not reflect events occurring after the May 15, 2006 filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB in any way, except as those required to reflect the effects of this restatement of our financial statements for the periods presented, as deemed necessary in connection with the completion of restated financial statements.

The remaining Items contained within this Amendment No. 1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB/A consist of all other Items originally contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006 though some items have been updated to conform to the disclosure contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the period ending September 30, 2006. These changes do not substantially change the previous disclosure. These remaining Items are largely not amended hereby, but are included for the convenience of the reader. In order to preserve the nature and character of the disclosures set forth in such Items as originally filed, except as expressly noted herein, this report continues to speak as of the date of the original filing, and we have not updated the disclosures in this report to speak as of a later date. While this report primarily relates to the historical periods covered, events may have taken place since the original filing that might have been reflected in this report if they had taken place prior to the original filing.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE A - FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION AND THE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of a21, Inc., a Texas corporation (“a21”, “the Company”, “we”) herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at March 31, 2006 and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be achieved for full fiscal years. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our amended annual report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the SEC.

a21, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Texas on October 28, 1998, under the name Saratoga Holdings I, Inc. and subsequently renamed a21, Inc. We license and acquire stock photography for worldwide distribution to advertisers and publishers through sublicense and license agreements.
 
Through our subsidiary SuperStock, we aggregate visual content from photographers, photography agencies, archives, libraries and private collections and license the visual content to our customers. Our customer base consists of four major groups: creative (advertising and design agencies), editorial (publishing and media entities), corporate (in-house communications departments and outside corporate communications firms) and consumers (the general public). Our products are sold directly and through a global network of distributors in over 100 countries.
 
Our subsidiary Ingram is a UK-based provider of subscription, CD-ROM and individual royalty free images as well as vector graphics and fonts, vehicle online templates, and print price guides for the worldwide graphics design, printing, sign making, advertising and publishing communities.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

[1] Basis of presentation / Going Concern:

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We have sustained significant recurring losses and at March 31, 2006, had an accumulated deficit of $16.2 million and a working capital deficit of $711,000 that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and as such caused our independent registered public accounting firm to included a going concern explanatory paragraph in their report in connection with their audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. In addition to cash we will generate and require from operations in 2006, we will need to raise cash from equity and debt financings to fund any shortfall from cash from operations and to fund any acquisitions. Should we need more or generate less cash, we will need additional funding to cover any potential shortfall. If we are unable to secure any required funding, we will not be able to implement our business plan and may not be able to conduct business as a going concern. (see Note L)

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitable operations and positive cash flows. Our future plans include the development of our distribution channel, leveraging owned and licensed image content offering, and the production and acquisition of new in-demand image content to be made available to both direct and distribution customers. Additionally, we are in discussions with several potential acquisition targets that, if successful, could result in an enhanced market position and incremental cash flow from operations. However, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful. We also continue to incur operating expenses to enhance our market position and expand our product offering by producing or acquiring newer, in-demand image content for our customers. We may have to seek additional funding sooner than expected. There can be no assurance that sufficient additional capital needed to sustain operations will be obtained by us or that our operations will become profitable.

11


[2] Principles of consolidation:

The condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company including our subsidiaries, SuperStock (U.S.), SuperStock Limited (UK), including Ingram Publishing (which was acquired in October 2005), and SuperStock Canada. The minority interest in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 represents the interest of the holders of preferred shares of SuperStock, which are exchangeable into common shares of a21, Inc. The minority interest was valued at the market value of the a21, Inc. common shares at the acquisition date as if exchanged. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

[3] Revenue recognition:

Revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured and delivery has occurred or services have been rendered.

Licensing fee revenue is recorded at invoiced amounts except in the case of licensing rights through distributors, where revenue is recorded at our share of invoiced amounts. Distributors typically earn and retain a percentage of the license fee according to their contract, and we record the remaining license fee as revenue. We also sell subscriptions of certain images for terms ranging from one to twelve months. Subscription revenue is recognized over the respective term of the subscription agreement, accordingly, $235,000 and $151,000 is recorded as deferred revenue as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

[4] Cost of revenue:

Cost of licensing fee revenue reflects royalties on revenue generated from images licensed by us under contracts with photographers. Royalties are expensed in the period that they are incurred. Cost of revenue excludes of amortization of revenue generating assets.

[5] Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The recoverability of the carrying values of long-lived assets, including goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, represents sensitive estimates subject to change.

12

 
[6] Fair value of financial instruments:

Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term debt, which approximate fair value because of their short maturities. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value due to the market rate of interest incurred by us. The fair value of our notes payable to stockholders and an affiliated company are not reasonably determinable based on the related party nature of the transactions.

[7] Cash and cash equivalents:

We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had no investments with maturities greater than three months. We are required to maintain a security deposit in accordance with our lease agreement for the SuperStock facility (see Note K). Cash as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 excludes the certificate of deposits funded and pledged by stockholders to secure a letter of credit in the amount of $690,000.

[8] Accounts Receivable:

Accounts receivable are trade receivables, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. We estimate our allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical loss ratios, existing economic conditions, and specific account analysis of high-risk accounts. Concentration of credit risk is limited due to the dispersion of customers. No single customer represents more than 10% of the total accounts receivable.

[9] Inventory:

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The costs of compact disk products produced for resale are determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Physical counts of inventories are taken at least annually. The requirements for any provisions of estimated losses for obsolete, excess or slow-moving inventories are reviewed periodically. All inventories are categorized as finished goods.

[10] Deferred Rent Receivable

During 2004, we entered into an agreement to sublease a significant portion of our facility for a term of six years with an option to renew for an additional two year term. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 13, “Accounting for Leases”, requires rental income from an operating lease be recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable lease term.  Accordingly, we recognize total contractual minimum lease payments, including scheduled rent increases, as rental income evenly over the lease term.  Accrued revenues from contractually scheduled rent increases in excess of amounts currently due are reported as a long-term receivable.  We monitor this asset for collection risk and will establish reserves for any amounts deemed not collectible.  However, amounts collected in future periods may vary from our expectations.

13

 
[11] Defined Contribution Employee Benefit Plan

We maintain a defined contribution retirement plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Plan), in which U.S. employees at least 21 years of age may participate after completing six months of service.  Eligible employees may contribute up to a certain percentage of their annual compensation to the Plan, subject to the annual IRS limitations.  The Plan allows us to make discretionary matching contributions.  There have been no such discretionary matching contributions made in 2006 or 2005.

[12] Foreign Currency:

We translate assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currency is the local currency, at exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. We translate revenue and expenses at the monthly average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. We include the adjustment resulting from translating the financial statements of such foreign subsidiaries in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses which are denominated in currency other than a subsidiary’s local currency and remeasured in the subsidiary’s local currency are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

[13] Land and building and property and equipment and depreciation:

Land and building were sold and leased back in a transaction accounted for as a financing transaction. The building is being depreciated over the twenty-year term of the related lease. Property and equipment consisting of furniture, fixtures and equipment, photography and computer equipment, and software are recorded at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed by the straight-line method over the assets' estimated lives of furniture, fixtures and equipment being 7 years, photography and computer equipment ranging from 5 to 7 years, and software ranging from 3 to 5 years.

Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations.

[14] Photo collection and contracts with photographers:

Expenditures for additions and betterments to the photo collection are capitalized. The photo collection is categorized by type of imagery (fine art, vintage and contemporary). Depreciation of the photo collection is computed by the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated lives of forty years for fine art and vintage images and four years for contemporary images. Upon sale or retirement of any portion of the collection, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed form the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations.

14

 
Contracts with photographers have an average life of ten years including those that are automatically renewable. Amortization of the photographer’s contracts is based on projected revenues expected to be generated over the estimated average ten-year life of the underlying images covered by the respective contracts.
 
[15] Goodwill and intangible assets:

We last performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2005 and determined there was no impairment as of that date.

Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS 144. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized using the straight line method over their expected useful life.

[16] Long-lived assets:

We evaluate our long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," pursuant to which an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. A long-lived asset is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our consideration of SFAS 144 involves significant assumptions and estimates based on management’s best judgments of current and future circumstances, including currently enacted tax laws, the future weighted-average cost of capital, and our future financial performance. No impairment charges have been incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

[18] Income taxes:
 
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from offsetting the net operating loss against loss and tax credit carryforwards against taxable income, if any. We established a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The difference in basis of the investment in foreign subsidiary relates to goodwill which is not deductible.
 
[19] Net loss attributed to common stockholders per share:
 
We calculate net loss attributed to common stockholders per share in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." SFAS No. 128 requires a dual presentation of "basic" and "diluted" income (loss) per share on the face of the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributed to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as stock options and warrants, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock.

For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the basic and diluted net loss attributed to common stockholders per share is the same since the effect from the potential exercise of 15,373,269 and 34,680,090 outstanding stock options and warrants as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which would have been antidilutive. 5,000,151 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the SuperStock Seller Preferred have also been excluded for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

[22] Share Based Payments:

We have a 2005 Stock Option Plan and a 2002 Stock Option Plan, which are described in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed on Form 10-KSB/A. Prior to January 1, 2006 we accounted for our stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), and related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”). Accordingly, no compensation cost was recognized for options granted to employees and directors at exercise prices, which equaled or exceeded the market price of our Common Stock at the date of grant. Stock-based employee compensation cost (benefit) was recognized as a component of selling, general and administrative expense in the Statement of Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, stock-based compensation expensed for employees was zero.

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R), using the modified-prospective transition method. Under that transition method, employee compensation cost recognized in 2006 includes: (i) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 and (ii) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated.

As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2006, is approximately $601,000 higher than if we had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25. The adoption of this standard had no impact on our provision for income taxes due to the valuation allowance for our U.S. deferred tax assets due to our lack of operating history. Total compensation cost for share based payment arrangements recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $670,000. SFAS 123(R) requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows.

17

 
The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to options granted to employees under our stock option plans during the three months ended March 31, 2005 (unaudited):

The above pro forma disclosures are provided for 2005 because employee stock options were not accounted for using the fair-value method during that period. No pro forma disclosure has been presented for the three months ended March 31, 2006 as share-based payments to employees have been accounted for under SFAS 123(R)’s fair-value method for such periods. The fair value of each option is measured at the grant date using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. The following weighted average assumptions were used for stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2005: no annual dividends; expected volatility of 80%; risk free interest rate of 3.00%, and expected life of 5 years.

18

 
As a result of the February 9, 2006 stockholder approval of our 2005 Stock Plan, although the exercise price of $0.30 was greater than the prevailing market price of the underlying common stock when originally granted during 2005, for GAAP purposes the accounting timing of the grant of 4,108,060 stock options valued at $1.1 million was the February 9, 2006 stockholder approval date, at which time the market price of the underlying common stock was $0.37. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of these option grants was $0.28 per share. The fair value of options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used for stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2006, respectively:  no annual dividends; expected volatility of 117%; risk free interest rate of 3.50%; expected life ranging from 3.06 to 5 years. Expected volatility is based primarily on historical volatility. Historical volatility was computed using daily pricing observations for the most recent two years. We believe this method produces an estimate that is representative of our expectations of the future volatility over the expected term of our options. We currently have no reason to believe future volatility over the expected life of these options is likely to differ materially from historical volatility. The weighted-average expected life is based upon share option exercises, pre and post vesting terminations and share option term expiration. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury security rate estimated for the expected life of the options at the date of grant.

SFAS 123(R) requires the estimation of forfeitures when recognizing compensation expense and that this estimate of forfeitures be adjusted over the requisite service period should actual forfeitures differ from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a cumulative adjustment, which impacts the amount of unamortized compensation expense to be recognized in future periods. We have estimated our forfeitures to be 5% based primarily on our historical forfeiture rate.

Additional information relative to our employee options outstanding at March 31, 2006 is summarized as follows (unaudited):

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2006 was $2.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively. This amount represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between our closing stock price on the last trading day of the first quarter of 2006 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on March 31, 2006. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $281,000.

Prior to January 1, 2006 the Company had granted 3,190,000 non-plan restricted shares to certain members of management that included 838,750 shares not fully vested as of that date. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, 543,304 unvested shares became vested and the fair value of the vested shares of $69,000 has been recognized as compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2006. The following is a summary of the status of and changes to the Company’s non-vested shares as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2006:

NOTE F - MINORITY INTEREST

As part of the transaction to acquire all of the voting common stock, representing 83% of the outstanding equity of SuperStock, in consideration for the sale and purchase of such shares, the sellers received 1,666,717 shares of non-voting participating preferred stock of SuperStock, which is exchangeable for 5,000,151 shares of a21’s common stock. The preferred stock has no voting rights, pays no dividend, and, except for exchange rights into common stock, it has no other special rights except liquidation. In liquidation, it is senior to the common stock of SuperStock and has distribution rights to the greater of $4.25 million or 17% of the total liquidation distributions after creditors. The minority interest is valued as if it was exchanged into a21’s common stock at the closing price on the day of the acquisition.

NOTE H - DEBT FINANCINGS

[1] Notes Payable, unsecured (see Note L)

During February 2004, we received $1.1 million in connection with the issuance of unsecured notes payable (the “Original Notes”), which accrued interest at 12% for up to twelve months along with 630,000 callable warrants at $0.45 per share (the “Original Warrants”). On June 24, 2005, we amended and restated the Original Notes (the “Restated Notes”). The aggregate amount outstanding under the Restated Notes at March 31, 2006 is $1.1 million. The Restated Notes mature on July 15, 2006 (the “Maturity Date”) and bear interest due quarterly commencing on September 30, 2005 at a rate of 12% per annum, which increases to 18% per annum after the Maturity Date.

[2] Senior Secured Notes Payable - Related party (see Note L)

On February 22, 2005, we consummated a $2.3 million financing transaction in the form of two-year interest only senior (non-convertible) secured notes and retired $1.3 million of our two-year convertible subordinated notes issued in conjunction with our acquisition of SuperStock. The investors in the transaction were existing stockholders of ours. In the transaction, SuperStock issued new 12% senior secured notes due in February 2007 in the principal amount of $2.3 million (the "Senior Notes") and retired all of its outstanding 13% convertible subordinated notes.

Five year warrants to purchase 937,500 shares of a21’s common stock originally issued to the holders of previously outstanding subordinated notes were amended and restated whereby, inclusive of the right to purchase an additional 125,000 shares of the a21’s common stock, the holders of the Senior Notes received two year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of a21’s common stock at $0.225 per share and an aggregate of 562,500 shares of common stock at $0.45 per share (together, the "Warrants"). During the year ended December 31, 2005, we recorded an additional debt discount of $10,000 for the excess of the fair value of the warrants to purchase 1,062,500 shares of a21 common stock on the date of issuance over the fair value of the warrants to purchase 937,500 shares of common stock calculated at the time of amendment (reflecting the remaining term and the stock price on that date). Pursuant to the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, A Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”), we recorded the value of the warrants as a current liability, with subsequent changes in fair value to be reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. The classification of the warrants was determined based upon the terms of the warrants relative to respective registration rights agreement. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the warrants were valued at $451,000 and $187,000, respectively, and the increase in valuation of $265,000 was recorded as non-operating warrant expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

NOTE I - LOAN PAYABLE ON BUILDING

During June 2004, we completed the sale and leaseback of the land and an approximately 73,000 square foot building in which our headquarters is located in Jacksonville, Florida. The facility was sold for $7.7 million and resulted in net proceeds of $7.5 million, of which $4.0 million was used to repay a bank note that was secured by a first mortgage on the facility and $1.6 million was used to repay other indebtedness to the selling stockholders of SuperStock. The building was leased back for a term of twenty years. The lease provides us with two five-year renewal options at specified payments.

Based on the terms of the leasing arrangement, the transaction does not qualify for sale recognition and has been accounted for as a financing transaction pursuant to SFAS No. 98, "Accounting for Leases". Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements reflect the net proceeds from the sale of the land and building as a loan payable with an effective interest rate of 10.1%. The building is included in property and equipment and is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the twenty-year term of the lease.

The following table summarizes our annual maturities under the loan payable on building as of March 31, 2006:

NOTE J - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

[1] Common and Preferred stock:

We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of a21 $.001 par value common stock.

We are authorized to issue 100,000 shares of its $.001 par value preferred stock at face value $100 per share. The holders of a21’s preferred stock shall be entitled to the same dividend rights as the holders of the shares of a21’s common stock and shall share in all dividends declared on common stock as if each share preferred stock was a share of common stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of shares of a21’s preferred stock shall be entitled to either i) their pro rata share of the assets as if the holders’ preferred shares were converted into common shares or ii) the face value of the holders’ preferred, whichever is greater, but before any payment shall be made to the holders of shares of common stock. Each holder of preferred stock shall have no voting rights and shall not be entitled to notice of meetings of the stockholders, except as otherwise expressly provided by provisions of applicable law.

On March 6, 2006, we received $1.2 million in connection with the exercise of warrants to purchase 4,000,000 shares of a21’s common stock held by a significant stockholder of ours. The stockholder previously acquired the warrants from another of our significant stockholders, through a prior transaction. In connection with the exercise of the warrants, we set the exercise price of the warrants to $0.30 per unregistered share, which is approximately 10% less than what the exercise price would have been pursuant to the original terms of the warrants, but higher than the minimum $0.25 per unregistered share as stated in the warrant modification agreement. This accommodation was granted by us in order to facilitate the transaction. As a result of the repricing of the warrants, we recorded a deemed dividend of $157,000, increasing the net loss attributed to common stockholders.

In partial consideration for the acquisition of the outstanding stock of Ingram, the stockholders received 14,480 shares of a21’s preferred stock. On March 14, 2006, we issued 2,522,648 shares of a21 common stock upon the conversion of the preferred stock by the holders thereof. The preferred shares were converted into a21 common stock at a price per share of the a21 common stock of $0.574, the average of the closing price of the a21’s common stock for the 20 trading day period ending on March 13, 2006. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, there are 0 and 14,480 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

27

 
[2] Stock options and warrants:

Stock options and warrants have been granted to officers, directors and employees based upon employment agreements and other grants at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Warrants have been granted through other financing and investment agreements with certain of our investors.

As discussed above, on March 6, 2006, we received $1.2 million in connection with the exercise of warrants.

On February 16, 2006, an information statement was mailed or furnished to our stockholders in connection with the authorization and approval by a majority of the Board of Directors of the 2005 Plan at a meeting held on March 10, 2005 and the subsequent adoption of such corporate action by written consent on February 9, 2006 of a majority of our stockholders. Such adoption constitutes the approval and consent of the action. The 2005 Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), performance share awards, restricted stock and unrestricted stock of up to an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of common stock to officers, employees and independent contractors of ours or our affiliates. If any award expires, is cancelled, or terminates unexercised or is forfeited, the number of shares subject thereto is again available for grant under the 2005 Plan. Stock options issued under the 2005 Plan typically have a five-year term and vest prorata over periods generally ranging from one to three years except as otherwise provided in accordance with specific agreements. The exercise price typically is no less than the fair market value of a share of a21’s common stock on the date of grant of the options. See Note B[22]. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, there were shares available for grant under the 2005 Plan of 1,884,140 and zero, respectively.

Pursuant to our 2002 Directors, Officers And Consultants Stock Option, Stock Warrant And Stock Award Plan, as amended (the "2002 Plan"), 3,000,000 shares of a21 common stock are reserved for issuance. The 2002 Plan authorizes our board of directors to issue warrants, options, restricted or unrestricted common stock and other awards to our employees, consultants and directors and our affiliates. Certain options and warrants to be granted under the 2002 Plan are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options (“ISOs”) pursuant to Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, while other options and warrants granted under the 2002 Plan will be nonqualified options or warrants which are not intended to qualify as ISOs. A committee selected by our Board of Directors has the authority to approve option grants and the terms, which include the option price and the vesting terms. Options granted under the 2002 Plan expire after a ten-year period and are subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of certain events. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 there were 496,264 shares available for grant under the 2002 Plan.

28

 
[3] Deferred Compensation:

Grants of a21 restricted common stock made prior to January 1, 2006 to certain directors and officers totaling 3,190,000 shares, valued at fair value per the respective market trading prices at the time of the grants, resulted in unamortized deferred compensation of $115,000 included in the consolidated balance sheet for the unvested portion of such compensation at December 31, 2005. The deferred compensation was reversed upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R) effective January 1, 2006.
 
NOTE K - COMMITMENTS AND OTHER MATTERS

[1] Employment agreement:

Effective January 3, 2006, we entered into an employment agreement with its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The agreement continues for a term of 36 months unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms. Pursuant to the agreement, he is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $114,000, subject to increases as shall be determined by the Chief Executive Officers of a21 and SuperStock. He was granted an option to purchase 165,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.34 per share. These options issued were accounted for under the fair value method under SFAS 123R with a charge to the statement of operations. The strike price of such options was at the market trading value at the time of the grant. The options are exercisable as to 25% of the total shares represented thereby on each of June 30, 2006, December 31, 2006, June 30, 2007, and December 31, 2007. The employment agreement also (1) provides that the stock options granted shall vest immediately upon a change in control as defined of a21, and (2) includes a confidentiality covenant, a non-competition covenant and contains a prohibition on the solicitation of the employees, suppliers, vendors and customers of a21 and SuperStock.

[2] Lease commitments
 
As described in Notes C and I above, we have capitalized our facility under the terms of a sale and leaseback transaction. In September 2004, we entered into an agreement to sublease a significant portion of its facility for a term of six years with an option to renew for an additional two year term.  The sublease requires monthly rent payments to us beginning in November 2004 with annual increases through the term of the sublease.  The total lease payments in accordance with the terms of the agreement are $3.5 million. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the sublease, and the excess of rental income recognized over rental payments received is recorded as a deferred receivable of $543,000 and $541,000 at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

In a lease agreement for SuperStock Limited in the UK, we sublet the entire facility to a third party as of June 2002, until the expiration of the lease in 2014. In accordance with the lease agreement, our UK subsidiary would be liable for approximately $90,000 per year under the covenants in the lease in the event the lessee who has sublet the facility is unable to perform under such terms.

29

 
[3] Lease Deposit Arrangement

At March 31, 2006, we were party to an arrangement with certain of our existing stockholders, Ahab International, Ltd. and Ahab Partners, L.P. (collectively “Ahab”). As part of this arrangement, since November 2005, we had executed an agreement with Ahab pursuant to which Ahab pledged an aggregate amount of $690,000 in the form of certificate of deposits (the “CDs”). The CDs replaced the deposits maintained by us which secured the letter of credit issued in lieu of the security deposit per the capital lease agreement for our headquarters facility. The agreement had a three year term which is the term of the requirement to maintain a security deposit under the capital lease agreement. In conjunction with the April 27, 2006 financing transaction (see Note L), we paid outstanding interest at a rate of 10% per annum plus Ahab retains the interest earned on the CDs. In connection with the arrangement, we entered into a security agreement pursuant to which Ahab maintained a security interest in the CDs. As such, we provided a guarantee to Ahab in the event any liquidation of the security deposit was to occur.

On April 27, 2006, as part of the financing transaction (see Note L), we also released the $690,000 certificate of deposits, which had been pledged by Ahab to secure the letter of credit issued by SuperStock in connection with its capital lease for our headquarters in Jacksonville Florida. Upon release of the Ahab CDs, we established replacement CDs held in our name and funded by the proceeds of the $15.5 million financing transaction.

The lease agreement also requires us to fund additional deposits through July 1, 2006, for a total of $750,000 including restricted cash of $30,000 reported as other non-current assets as of March 31, 2006.

[4] Litigation:

We are involved in various claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that there are no such matters outstanding that would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.
 
NOTE L - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

$15.5 Million Senior Secured Convertible Notes
 
During April 2006, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with certain purchasers and Queequeg Partners, LP, as agent (“Agent”), whereby we issued $15.5 million of 5% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (“Senior Convertible Notes”) in consideration for which we received net proceeds of $11.7 million in cash, after the repayment of certain outstanding debt of $3.3 million, exchange of Notes totaling $215,000 to retire warrants to purchase 637,500 shares of a21’s common stock, repayment of total interest due of $216,000, and the payment of a finder’s fee of $100,000. Queequeg Partners L.P. and Queequeg, Ltd. (each of which are affiliated with Ahab Capital Management, Inc., which was a 10% beneficial owner of a21’s common stock prior to April 27, 2006) (collectively “Ahab”), and StarVest Partners, LP (“StarVest”), which was a 10% beneficial owner of a21’s common stock prior to April 27, 2006, purchased a portion of the Notes sold in this transaction. As part of this transaction, we released $690,000 of certificate of deposits (“CDs”), which had been pledged by Ahab to secure the letter of credit issued by SuperStock in connection with its capital lease for our facility in Jacksonville, Florida and replaced the deposit with new CDs from the net proceeds of the financing.

30


The Senior Convertible Notes are secured by substantially all of our assets and, after we increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock, are convertible into 23,846,154 of a21’s common stock at a minimum conversion price of $0.65 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Senior Convertible Notes. In addition, the conversion price of the Senior Convertible Notes may be adjusted based on a weighted average anti-dilution formula in the event of issuances of a21’s common stock at a price per share below $0.65. The minimum conversion price is set at $0.50 per share on a diluted basis. The interest on the Senior Convertible Notes is payable quarterly in arrears, and the principal will be due and payable on March 31, 2011. If the 45-day volume weighted average price of a21’s common stock equals or exceeds $1.00 per share, the Senior Convertible Notes will automatically be converted into a21’s common stock under certain conditions.
 
The Senior Convertible Notes include customary events of default, including the failure to pay any principal or interest when due, the breach of any covenant or term or condition of the Senior Convertible Notes, the breach of any representation or warranty in the Purchase Agreement, Senior Convertible Notes or other documents executed in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, defaults in the performance of any other indebtedness of greater than $500,000, the insolvency or bankruptcy of a21, and the SEC issuing a stop trade order or suspension of trading relating to a21’s common stock. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, each Note will become due and payable, either upon notice from the agent for the holders of Senior Convertible Notes at the direction of the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes or automatically, depending on the particular event of default.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, for so long as StarVest beneficially owns at least 8,000,000 shares of a21’s common stock, StarVest has the right to name a designee to our Board of Directors. In addition, for so long as at least 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes is outstanding, we may not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, engage in certain activities or transactions, including, but not limited to, declaring dividends, liquidating, dissolving, effecting a reorganization or change of control, or incurring certain indebtedness. The Purchase Agreement also provides that the purchasers have a pro-rata “first right of refusal” to provide up to 25% of the amount of any additional financing the amount of which will be in excess of $2.0 million.
 
We also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated April 27, 2006, between a21 and the Agent, on its own behalf and on behalf of the holders of the Senior Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, if the SEC has not declared effective a registration statement for the sale of the underlying shares of a21’s common stock by January 22, 2007, we will be obligated to pay the holder of the Senior Convertible Notes liquidated damages as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement up to a maximum of 24% of the proceeds of the Senior Convertible Notes.

We are evaluating the terms of the Senior Convertible Notes to determine whether at issuance the conversion feature should be separated and measured at fair value under SFAS No. 133 “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) and EITF Issue No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”). The instrument should not be accounted for as “conventional convertible debt”, as defined EITF 00-19, as a result of the conversion price reset provisions described above. Our preliminary evaluation suggests that the embedded conversion feature is not required to be separated and accounted for as a liability or equity.

31

 
We are also evaluating whether the Senior Convertible Notes contained a beneficial conversion feature to be accounted for under EITF Issue No. 98-5 “Accounting for Convertible securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” (“EITF 98-5”) and EITF Issue No. 00-27 “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”. At the commitment date of the Senior Convertible Notes, as defined, the initial conversion price of $0.65 per share exceeded the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock, therefore we have preliminarily determined that at issuance the embedded conversion feature was not beneficial.
 
In connection with the transactions described above, we repaid the $2.25 million 12% Senior Secured Note, dated as of February 22, 2005 and the $1.05 million 12% unsecured promissory notes dated February 29, 2004, and the interest due under these notes of $184,000 was paid on April 27, 2006 using a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Convertible Notes equal to the full amount of the principal and interest due.
 
In connection with the repayment of the indebtedness described above, the following common stock purchase warrant agreements were terminated: Warrants expiring on February 21, 2007, granting the right to purchase 300,000 shares of a21’s common stock, at an exercise price of $0.188 per share, which was issued in connection with certain repaid Notes; and Warrants expiring on February 21, 2007, granting the right to purchase 337,500 shares of a21’s common stock, at an exercise price of $0.377 per share, which were also issued in connection with certain Notes. These Warrants, which were previously accounted for as a warrant liability and had a fair value of approximately $261,000 on April 27, 2006, were returned to us and canceled in consideration of us issuing a portion of the Senior Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to $215,000 (which is equal to the product of (i) the difference between the closing market price of a21’s common stock on March 30, 2006 ($0.62) and the exercise price of the warrants, and (ii) the number of shares of a21’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants). The difference between the fair value of the warrants received and the amount of the Senior Convertible Notes issued, of approximately $46,000, will be included as a reduction of warrant expense in our consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

32

 
NOTE M - RESTATEMENTS

As part of our adoption of SFAS 123(R) during 2006, we initially reported stock compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2006 on an accelerated basis instead of over a vesting period as proscribed by SFAS 123(R). The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if we had applied the recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R) to options granted to employees under our stock option plans (unaudited):

In addition, as described in Note J[3], as a result of correcting the impact of adopting SFAS 123(R), deferred compensation of $115,000, representing the unvested portion of restricted common stock grants recorded as of December 31, 2005 was reversed with an offsetting debit to Additional Paid-In Capital. As a result of this change, Deferred Compensation of $41,000, as previously reported as of March 31, 2006 after previously reported amortization of $74,000 for the three months then ended, was reduced to $0, as restated, with a corresponding decrease to Additional Paid-In Capital, as restated. This change resulted in a net change of $0 to total stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2006.

RECENT EVENTS
 
$15.5 Million Senior Secured Convertible Notes
 
During April 2006, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with certain purchasers and Queequeg Partners, LP, as agent (“Agent”), whereby we issued $15.5 million of 5% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (“Senior Convertible Notes”) in consideration for which we received net proceeds of $11.7 million in cash, after the repayment of certain outstanding debt of $3.3 million, exchange of Notes totaling $215,000 to retire warrants to purchase 637,500 shares of a21’s common stock, repayment of total interest due of $216,000, and the payment of a finder’s fee of $100,000. Queequeg Partners L.P. and Queequeg, Ltd. (each of which are affiliated with Ahab Capital Management, Inc., which was a 10% beneficial owner of a21’s common stock prior to April 27, 2006) (collectively “Ahab”), and StarVest Partners, LP (“StarVest”), which was a 10% beneficial owner of a21’s common stock prior to April 27, 2006, purchased a portion of the Notes sold in this transaction. As part of this transaction, we released $690,000 of certificate of deposits (“CDs”), which had been pledged by Ahab to secure the letter of credit issued by SuperStock in connection with its capital lease for our facility in Jacksonville, Florida and replaced the deposit with new CDs from the net proceeds of the financing.
 
The Senior Convertible Notes are secured by substantially all of our assets and, after we increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock, are convertible into 23,846,154 of a21’s common stock at a minimum conversion price of $0.65 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Senior Convertible Notes. In addition, the conversion price of the Senior Convertible Notes may be adjusted based on a weighted average anti-dilution formula in the event of issuances of a21’s common stock at a price per share below $0.65. The minimum conversion price is set at $0.50 per share on a diluted basis. The interest on the Senior Convertible Notes is payable quarterly in arrears, and the principal will be due and payable on March 31, 2011. If the 45-day volume weighted average price of a21’s common stock equals or exceeds $1.00 per share, the Senior Convertible Notes will automatically be converted into a21’s common stock under certain conditions.
 
The Senior Convertible Notes include customary events of default, including the failure to pay any principal or interest when due, the breach of any covenant or term or condition of the Senior Convertible Notes, the breach of any representation or warranty in the Purchase Agreement, Senior Convertible Notes or other documents executed in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, defaults in the performance of any other indebtedness of greater than $500,000, the insolvency or bankruptcy, and the SEC issuing a stop trade order or suspension of trading relating to a21’s common stock. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, each Note will become due and payable, either upon notice from the agent for the holders of Senior Convertible Notes at the direction of the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes or automatically, depending on the particular event of default.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, for so long as StarVest beneficially owns at least 8,000,000 shares of a21’s common stock, StarVest has the right to name a designee to our Board of Directors. In addition, for so long as at least 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes is outstanding, we may not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, engage in certain activities or transactions, including, but not limited to, declaring dividends, liquidating, dissolving, effecting a reorganization or change of control, or incurring certain indebtedness. The Purchase Agreement also provides that the purchasers have a pro-rata “first right of refusal” to provide up to 25% of the amount of any additional financing the amount of which will be in excess of $2.0 million.
 
We also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated April 27, 2006, between a21 and the Agent, on its own behalf and on behalf of the holders of the Senior Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, if the SEC has not declared effective a registration statement for the sale of the underlying shares of a21’s common stock by January 22, 2007, we will be obligated to pay the holder of the Senior Convertible Notes liquidated damages as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement up to a maximum of 24% of the proceeds of the Senior Convertible Notes.
 
In connection with the transactions described above, we repaid the $2.25 million 12% Senior Secured Note, dated as of February 22, 2005 and the $1.05 million 12% unsecured promissory notes dated February 29, 2004, and the interest due under these notes of $184,000 was paid on April 27, 2006 using a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Convertible Notes equal to the full amount of the principal and interest due.

In connection with the repayment of the indebtedness described above, the following common stock purchase warrant agreements were terminated: Warrants expiring on February 21, 2007, granting the right to purchase 300,000 shares of a21’s common stock, at an exercise price of $0.188 per share, which was issued in connection with certain repaid Notes; and Warrants expiring on February 21, 2007, granting the right to purchase 337,500 shares of a21’s common stock, at an exercise price of $0.377 per share, which were also issued in connection with certain Notes. These Warrants, which had a fair value of approximately $261,000 on April 27, 2006, were returned to us and canceled in consideration of us issuing a portion of the Senior Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to $215,000 (which is equal to the product of (i) the difference between the closing market price of a21’s common stock on March 30, 2006 ($0.62) and the exercise price of the warrants, and (ii) the number of shares of a21’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants). The difference between the fair value of the warrants received and the amount of the Senior Convertible Notes issued, of approximately $46,000, will be included as a reduction of warrant expense in our consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.
Please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 3, 2006 for additional information relating to our $15.5 million Senior Secured Convertible Note Financing and related transactions.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements that have been prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our 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 and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have summarized significant accounting policies in Note B to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB/A.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2005
 
REVENUES. Revenues were $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $2.3 million for the same prior year period. Approximately 90% of the increase was attributable to the Ingram acquisition which occurred during October 2005, with the balance of the increase attributed to SuperStock.
 
COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues was $903,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $712,000 the same prior year period. This increase was attributable to related higher revenues. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales was 31% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues may vary in any period depending on the relative mix of stock photography distributed that is either licensed from third parties or owned by us.

35


SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. SG&A expenses were $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $1.6 million for the same prior year period. We adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of our fiscal year 2006. Share-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $670,000. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R).
 
Additionally, we incurred incremental SG&A expenses resulting from the Ingram acquisition which occurred during October 2005 and higher corporate expenses associated with the administration of a publicly traded corporation including legal and audit related expenses.
 
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization was $603,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $353,000 for the same prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to incremental amortization during the three months ended March 31, 2006 of approximately $244,000 resulting from the Ingram acquisition.
 
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was was $353,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $397,000 for the same prior year period. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 included incremental amortization of finance costs.
 
WARRANT EXPENSE. Pursuant to the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, A Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”), during 2005, we recorded the value of certain February 2005 warrants as a current liability, with subsequent changes in fair value to be reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The classification of the warrants was determined based upon the terms of the warrants relative to registration rights and because the terms did not include a liquidated damages provision. As of March 31, 2006, the warrants were valued at $451,000, and the increase in valuation of $265,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was recorded as non-operating warrant expense.
 
OTHER EXPENSE, NET. Other expense, net was $41,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to other expense, net of $266,000 for the same prior year period. The other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2005 includes a $371,000 loss on the extinguishment of the convertible subordinated notes payable. 
 
DEEMED DIVIDEND. On March 6, 2006, we received $1.2 million in connection with the exercise of warrants to purchase 4,000,000 shares of a21’s common stock held by a significant stockholder of ours. The stockholder previously acquired the warrants from another of our significant stockholders, through a prior transaction. In connection with the exercise of the warrants, we set the exercise price of the warrants to $0.30 per unregistered share, which is approximately 10% less than what the exercise price would have been pursuant to the original terms of the warrants, but higher than the minimum $0.25 per unregistered share as stated in the warrant modification agreement. This accommodation was granted by us in order to facilitate the transaction. As a result of the repricing of the warrants, we recorded a deemed dividend of $157,000, increasing the net loss attributed to common stockholders.
 
NET LOSS ATTRIBUTED TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS. Net loss attributed to common stockholders was $2.2 million or $0.03 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to net loss of $982,000, or $0.03 per share, for the same prior year period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
As of March 31, 2006, we had $1.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $711,000, compared to $1.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital deficit of $946,000 at December 31, 2005. The increase in cash is primarily due to the proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2006.
 
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $663,000, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $650,000 for three months ended March 31, 2005. The net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was due primarily to the net loss of $2.0 million adjusted for $670,000 of stock based compensation and $603,000 of depreciation and amortization. Net cash used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2005 was due primarily to the net loss of $982,000 and the increase of accounts receivable of $314,000 adjusted for $371,000 for loss on extinguishment of debt and $353,000 of depreciation and amortization.
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $315,000, compared to net cash used in investing activities the three months ended March 31, 2005 of $236,000. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was primarily due to investments in building, property, and equipment of $132,000 and investments in our photo collection of $76,000. Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2005 was primarily due to investments in building, property, and equipment.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $1.2 million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $968,000 for the same prior year period. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 resulted substantially from net proceeds of warrant exercises. Net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2005 was mainly due to the new $2.3 million senior secured notes payable and the retirement of the $1.3 million convertible subordinated notes payable.
 
During March 2006, we received $1.2 million in connection with the exercise of warrants to purchase four million shares of our common stock.
 
We have sustained recurring losses and at March 31, 2006, had an accumulated deficit of $16.2 million and a working capital deficit of $711,000 that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Should we not generate more cash than required for operations, we will need additional funding to cover any potential shortfall. If we are unable to secure required funding, we will not be able to implement our business plan and may not be able to conduct business as a going concern. Our future plans include the development our distribution channel leveraging our owned and licensed image content offering, and the production and acquisition of new in-demand image content to be made available to both direct and distribution customers.

During April 2006, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with certain purchasers and Queequeg Partners, LP, as Agent, whereby we issued $15.5 million of 5% Senior Secured Convertible Notes in consideration for which we received net proceeds of $11.7 million in cash, after the repayment of certain outstanding debt of $3.3 million, exchange of Notes totaling $215,000 to retire warrants to purchase 637,500 shares of a21’s common stock, repayment of total interest due of $216,000, and the payment of a finder’s fee of $100,000. Queequeg Partners L.P. and Queequeg, Ltd. (each of which are affiliated with Ahab Capital Management, Inc., which was a 10% beneficial owner of a21’s common stock prior to April 27, 2006) Ahab, and StarVest, which was a 10% beneficial owner of a21’s common stock prior to April 27, 2006, purchased a portion of the Notes sold in this transaction. As part of this transaction, we released $690,000 of CDs, which had been pledged by Ahab to secure the letter of credit issued by SuperStock in connection with its capital lease for our facility in Jacksonville, Florida and replaced the deposit with new CDs from the net proceeds of the financing.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

At March 31, 2006, we were party to an arrangement with Ahab. As part of this arrangement, since November 2005, we had an agreement with Ahab pursuant to which Ahab pledged $690,000 in the form of certificate of deposits (the “CDs”). The CDs replaced the deposits maintained by us which secured the letter of credit issued in lieu of the security deposit per the capital lease agreement for our headquarters facility. The agreement had a three year term which is the term of the requirement to maintain a security deposit under the capital lease agreement. In conjunction with the April 27, 2006 financing transaction, we paid outstanding interest at a rate of 10% per annum plus Ahab retained the interest earned on the CDs.

On April 27, 2006, as part of the $15.5 million financing transaction described above, the $690,000 certificate of deposits, which had been pledged by Ahab to secure the letter of credit issued by SuperStock in connection with its capital lease for our headquarters in Jacksonville Florida, were released to Ahab. Upon release of the Ahab CDs, we established replacement CDs in our name having been funded by the proceeds of the financing.

We have not entered into any other off balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at ensuring that the material information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as required in applicable SEC rules and forms because of the deficiencies in internal controls over financial reporting which constitutes material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls that could adversely affect its ability to record, process, summarize and report interim financial data. The material weaknesses identified pertain specifically to the recording of stock based compensation and the recording of the deemed dividend related to warrant repricing.
 
During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over the financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

However, during the period ending June 30, 2006, we have further enhanced our internal resources and processes around our internal control over financial reporting by adding key staff and documenting financial close and reporting plan process

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

On February 9, 2006 stockholders entitled to vote 65.51% of the aggregate outstanding shares of our common stock approved by written consent our 2005 Stock Plan (“Stock Plan”) which had been approved by our Board of Directors on March 10, 2005.
