Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by
the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. 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 in accordance with such rules
and regulations. The information furnished in the interim financial
statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all
adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a
fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management
believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make
the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the
Company's most recent audited financial statements and notes thereto
included in its December 31, 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2007.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally
accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities
in the normal course of business. The Company has recorded significant
losses from operations and has a deficit in its working capital as well
as in its stockholders' equity which together raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.
In order to continue as a going concern and achieve a profitable level
of operations, the Company will need, among other things, to increase
sales of its subscription services and to increase advertising sales.
All marketing efforts are concentrated in the areas of developing a
strong sales team, maximizing the investment with our sports partners
through unique and innovative premium text promotions and building an
advertising program that delivers proven results.
In addition, the related party debt is a manageable situation as the
terms and conditions are favorable to the company and the repayment
terms are appropriate to the cash flow of the company. The payment
terms if necessary, will be adjusted on a mutually agreed basis.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon its ability to successfully accomplish the aforementioned plan and
eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if
the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of
Operations
The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB.
Forward-looking and Cautionary Statements
This report contains certain forward-looking statements. These statements relate
to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and
unknown risks and uncertainties. These factors may cause our company's, or our
industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be
materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by
terminology such as "may," "will" "should," "expects," "intends," "plans,"
"anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue," or
the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.
These statements are only predictions. Although we believe that the expectations
reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee
future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
Results of Operations.
During the three months ended September 30, 2007, revenue significantly
increased over the same period of 2006. Revenue for 2007 was $1,610,378, which
is a 51% increase over fiscal 2006 sales of $1,060,709. The majority of the
increase is directly attributable to the growth in advertising revenue.
Advertising revenues grew to $817,523 in 2007 from $347,807 in 2006. Our
partnerships with national and grassroots sports operations has increased our
website traffic over 500% and we continue to see ongoing increased traffic. This
has created a very effective advertising program which is giving us the
opportunity to grow this part of our revenue at a very fast pace. Although we
experienced some growth in the first half of 2007, we are definitely gaining
traction during the final months of 2007. We expect this to continue to increase
as our brand awareness becomes stronger. Our online advertising programs are a
professional and targeted alternative to the typical advertising fare of
unwanted spam and fax blasts. Additionally our E-Gate subscription revenues
increased slightly to $773,818 in 2007 from $701,526 in 2006. Our free, delayed
E-Gate service is experiencing an extremely large increase in numbers which is
another reason our advertising program is so effective
We believe the majority of our revenue growth for 2007 and beyond will be
generated from our digital advertising programs and from our premium text
messaging programs. Our database is growing exponentially as a direct result of
our sports affiliations and these sports partnerships are also a strong conduit
of new business for our text promotions. Our brand awareness has made tremendous
strides in 2007 and that alone makes it possible for us to easily close larger
advertising business.
Our sports partnerships have proven to be a highly effective way of fast
tracking the development of our brand - almost every day the name AlphaTrade.com
is seen at some sporting event or on national television and it is associated
with some of the largest brands in the world. As our brand continues to be more
recognizable, our ability to achieve better results for our advertisers and
14
generate additional revenue from text promotions is greatly enhanced. Our
advertising programs are unique and innovative and competition in this sector is
virtually non-existent. The caliber of our site demographics is the main
attraction as opposed to sheer numbers of site visitors - we attract the most
favorable demographic due to the combination of our financial products with a
strong sports presence. For the first time in our company history, our
advertising revenue in this quarter now exceeds the revenue from our stock
quotation business.
Our mobile messaging business has become a proven commodity. We started this
year in Madison Square Gardens with the Professional Bull Riders and our very
first live text promotion. At this event we achieved 50% audience participation.
Throughout the year we have conducted text promotions at the New York Mets
stadium, for NFL Super Bowl tickets, at the NHRA drag races, at a NASCAR race in
Phoenix and many others - in fact, so far this year we promoted and developed
over 50 text promotions. This experience and our connections in the sporting
industry are setting the stage for us to generate significant revenue from this
sector of our business. Our database from our text promotions is growing rapidly
and this alone will become extremely attractive from a marketing and advertising
perspective. Our text clients include some of the largest brands in the world
and some of the most dominant sports teams in the United States.
Our cost of E-Gate sales is the cost of the financial content. Many of these
costs are fixed monthly fees while others are on a per user basis. Our
advertising and text message revenues do not have any such costs. These sales
will have the highest profit margin of all of our sales so as our advertising
and text message business grow, the company's profit margins will become
greater.
We realized a net loss of $1,033,487 for the three months ended September 30,
2007 compared to a net loss of $430,928 for the three months ended September 30,
2006 This is an increase in net loss of $602,559 and is exclusively due to the
cash paid for our sports partnerships and the stock paid to consultants for
marketing our products. We fully expect this expense to translate into strong
revenue growth for the balance of 2007 and beyond. We see this revenue being
derived from a combination of our innovative advertising programs and our text
message promotions. We are building an advertising clientele that is prepared to
pay a premium to have access to our demographic. We entered into these sports
partnerships knowing the initial year would have substantial costs associated
with it. We knew it was imperative to build our brand recognition so our
advertising program could become effective. This is exactly what is happening
and we anticipate continued strong growth for the balance of 2007 and beyond.
The management contracts with our executive officers were amended in the second
half of 2007 to eliminate any additional compensation for 2007. Accordingly, we
realized related party compensation expense of $-0- and $120,000 for the three
months ended 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Our marketing expense increased to $1,819,988 in 2007 from $78,761 in 2006 which
is understandable as we grow our advertising business and pay for our sports
partnerships. We fully expect this to continue throughout the balance of 2007 as
we have hired some very talented and senior sales people to execute our targeted
marketing program.
15
We increased our research and development expense to $139,971 in 2007 from
$103,390 in 2006. This is expected to increase as we build additional products
with which to generate even more revenue.
Historically, due to the nature of being a developmental stage company, many of
our expenses are paid in shares of our common stock. The expenses are recorded
at the fair value of the shares issued. Excluding these non-cash expenses we
would have reported a loss of $648,601 for the three months ended September 30,
2007 instead of $1,033,487.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, revenue showed a substantive
increase over the same period of 2006. Revenue for 2007 was $4,028,190, which is
a 35% increase over fiscal 2006 sales of $2,994,805. An increase in revenue was
realized in all of our products and services but the highest growth is
advertising revenues. Advertising revenues grew to $1,675,992 in 2007 from
$854,992 in 2006. That growth shows an underlying trend for the company with
respect to our potential for revenue. Prior to adding additional revenue
streams, our growth was limited to the growth of the financial markets and our
share of that marketplace. With advertising, our potential revenue is unlimited
and restricted only by our own creativity. As our database grows and the success
of our advertising programs becomes more widely known, we believe our
advertising revenues will grow exponentially. In addition, our text message
programs will show some strong growth in the later half of this year but most of
the significant growth will show in early 2008. We believe our new corporate
direction is validated with the success and growth trajectories of these new
products. We do expect the growth of our E-gate financial products to remain
steady. The most important aspect of all of our services is the highly desirable
demographic we are accumulating and the high quality of the database from a
purchasing point of view. This has given us the opportunity to build our highly
effective and innovative advertising programs.
We incurred a net loss of $2,880,381 for the nine months ended September 30,
2007 compared to $1,173,734 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This
is an increase of $1,706,647 and directly related to payments for our sports
marketing programs and increased marketing expenses. We are already experiencing
strong revenue growth in our advertising programs from these partnerships and we
expect the growth to escalate during the second half of this year.
Stock options were issued under our 2007 Stock Option Plan. We realized related
party compensation expense of $240,000 for both 2007 and 2006. Our marketing
expense increased to $3,276,579 in 2007 from $360,160 due to a greatly expanded
marketing program. We decreased our research and development expense to $327,840
in 2007 from $342,320 in 2006. Our professional fees expense increased to
$1,111,773 in 2007 from $1,018,888 in 2006 mainly because of share issuances to
consultants that were assisting in marketing our new products. Our general and
administrative expense decreased to $638,067 for 2007 from $755,467 in 2006 due
to the issuance of stock options under the 2006 stock option plan to our
employees and directors in the prior year.
Historically, many of our expenses are paid in shares of our common stock. The
expenses are recorded at the fair value of the shares issued. Excluding these
non cash expenses the loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 would
have been $2,053,663. Excluding non cash expenses for 2006 we would have
reported an income $114,592.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.
We have consistently been financed through loans from related parties and from
raising capital through private equity offerings. We used $1,543,618 and
$142,763 of cash in our operating activities in the first nine months of 2007
and 2006, respectively. This increase of $1,400,855 was primarily due to the
expanded marketing program. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and
2006 we received cash totaling $191,000 and $28,750 from the issuance of our
common stock upon the exercise of options granted under the 2004 stock option
plan. In 2007 we also received $1,239,072 from related party advances. We expect
that in the next twelve months that the cash generated by our operations will be
adequate to cover our cash flow.
Given the right circumstances, we would entertain a secondary financing if it
would expand our market penetration and bring extra revenue to us. We are
actively seeking acquisition targets and may decide to use our stock as the
compensation for any acquisition. Currently, we do not have any definitive plans
for a secondary financing nor have we identified a specific acquisition target.
We currently have no material commitments for capital requirements. At the
present time we have no need to purchase new equipment or replace the equipment
we are currently using. We believe that our capital infrastructure is adequate
to handle the expected growth in 2008.
We are not aware of any material trend, event or capital commitment, which would
potentially adversely affect liquidity. In the event a material trend develops,
we believe we will have sufficient funds available to satisfy working capital
needs through debt or from funds received from equity sales.
Dependence on Key Personnel
We are dependent on the services of Penny Perfect, the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company. The loss of Ms. Perfect or Gordon Muir, our CTO or other key
executives and personnel, or the inability to attract and retain the additional
highly skilled employees required for the expansion of our activities, may have
a material adverse effect on our business or our future operations. We do not
intend to maintain "Key-man" life insurance on any executive officers or other
personnel at this time.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management,
including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer
and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to cause the material information required to be
disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act to
be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC's rules and forms. There have been no significant changes
in our internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect
internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
AlphaTrade.com is the Defendant in litigation pending in the Supreme Court of
British Columbia, Canada. This action was filed on December 23, 2003 and is
between Zacks Investment Services, Inc. as Plaintiff and AlphaTrade.com as
Defendant. The case number is 5036907.
The Plaintiff alleges that it is owed the sum of $279,664 pursuant to a
licensing Agreement executed by the Plaintiff and the Defendant in 1999.
Alphatrade is agressively defending itself against this claim.
During the year ending December 31, 2002, a company filed an action against
AlphaTrade in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada claiming unspecified
damages. AlphaTrade filed a Statement of Defence in August, 2002. There has been
no further developments in this action. AlphaTrade plans to vigorously defend
itself.
We are subject to potential liability under contractual and other matters and
various claims and legal actions which may be asserted. These matters arise in
the ordinary course and conduct of our business. While the outcome of the
potential claims and legal actions against us cannot be forecast with certainty,
we believe that such matters should not result in any liability which would have
a material adverse effect on our business.
