Nature of Operations

CrowdGrather, Inc. (formerly WestCoast Golf Experiences, Inc., or “WestCoast”)(the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 20, 2005.

On April 2, 2008, the Company, General Mayhem LLC (“General”) and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, General Mayhem Acquisition Corp. (the “Acquisition Subsidiary”, entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”). The merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement (“the “Merger”) closed on April 8, 2008. The Merger resulted in General merging into the Acquisition Subsidiary, with the Acquisition Subsidiary surviving. Prior to the Merger, the Company effected a 13-for-1 stock split of its Shares. All share numbers presented in this filing have been adjusted to reflect the stock split. Each share of General was converted into and became one (1) share, on a post-stock split basis, such that former members of General now hold 26,000,000, or approximately 64.9%, of the outstanding shares. On April 8, 2008, pursuant to the Agreement of Merger and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated April 8, 2008 by and between WestCoast and Acquisition Subsidiary, the Acquisition Subsidiary merged with and into WestCoast, with WestCoast surviving. In connection with the latter merger, WestCoast changed its name to CrowdGather, Inc.
 
The Company is an internet company that specializes in developing and hosting forum based websites and is headquartered in Northridge, California.

1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
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 revenues and expenses during the reported periods.  Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
 
Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheet.  The carrying value of cash and equivalents prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short period to maturity of these instruments.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but instead are measured for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter, or when events indicate that an impairment exists.  As required by SFAS 142, in the impairment tests for indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company compares the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, website domain names, using a combination of discounted cash flow analysis and market value comparisons.  If the carrying value exceeds the estimate of fair value, the Company calculates the impairment as the excess of the carrying value over the estimate of fair value and accordingly, records the loss.

Intangible assets that are determined to have definite lives are amortized over their useful lives and are measured for impairment only when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired in accordance with SFAS 144 discussed below.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (SFAS 144), the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the asset to assess whether or not a potential impairment exists when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of a long-lived asset may be impaired.  If the carrying value exceeds the Company’s estimate of future undiscounted cash flows, the Company then calculates the impairment as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over the Company’s estimate of its fair value.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs.  The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics.  A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (SFAS 130).  SFAS 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss, requiring its components to be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.  For the period ended for the three months ended July 31, 2008, the Company had no other components of comprehensive loss other than the net loss as reported on the statement of operations.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.  As of for the three months ended July 31, 2008, the Company did not have any equity or debt instruments outstanding that could be converted into common stock.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are to be recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” as amended by SAB No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” when (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (b) the services have been provided to the customer, (c) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (d) collectibility is reasonably assured.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for employee stock option grants in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. SFAS 123(R) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award - the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS No. 157 – In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement 157, “Fair Value Measurements”.  This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute.  Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements.  However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice.  This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

SFAS No. 158 – In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”.  This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization.  This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions.

An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006.  An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. The adoption of this standard did not a have a material impact on the company’s financial statements.

SFAS No. 159 – In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilitiesincluding an amendment of SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, which applies to all entities with available-for sale and trading securities.  This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) – In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141 Business Combinations.  The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. To accomplish that, this Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer 1) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquire, 2) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and 3) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

SFAS No. 160 – In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51. The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require 1) the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity, 2) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, 3) changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently, 4) when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, and 5) entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The Company is currently assessing the potential effect of SFAS 160 on its financial statements.

SFAS No. 161 - In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This Statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.

This Statement is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in Statement 133. The Statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This disclosure better conveys the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks that the entity is intending to manage. Disclosing the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format should provide a more complete picture of the location in an entity’s financial statements of both the derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives during the reporting period. Disclosing information about credit-risk-related contingent features should provide information on the potential effect on an entity’s liquidity from using derivatives.

This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption.   The Company is currently evaluating SFAS 161 and has not yet determined its potential impact on its future results of operations or financial position.

SFAS No. 162 – In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 identifies a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for nongovernmental entities (the “Hierarchy”). The Hierarchy within SFAS No. 162 is consistent with that previously defined in the AICPA Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SAS 69”). SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The adoption of SFAS No. 162 will not have a material effect on the financial statements because the Company has utilized the guidance within SAS 69.

SFAS No. 163 – In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60” (“SFAS No. 163”). SFAS No. 163 requires recognition of an insurance claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. SFAS No. 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not permitted. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 163 will not have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
2 - GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $559,382 for the three months ended July 31, 2008 and additional debt or equity financing will be required by the Company to fund its activities and to support operations.  However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing.  Furthermore, there is no assurance that rapid technological changes, changing customer needs and evolving industry standards will enable the Company to introduce new products on a continual and timely basis so that profitable operations can be attained.

3 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company purchased website domain names for cash and stock in the amount of $472,271 during the three months ended July 31, 2008.  The Company has purchased a total of $579,952 website domain names for cash and stock. Management has determined that there was no impairment of long-lived assets at for the three months ended July 31, 2008.

4 - CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE

On July 8, 2008, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to one of its shareholders for $500,000 (“Convertible Note”).  The Convertible Note is due in one year, or upon default, whichever is earlier, and bears interest at the annual rate of 8%.  The Convertible Note has a mandatory conversion feature by which it will automatically convert to shares of the Company’s common stock immediately before the closing of a transaction or series of transactions in which the Company sells equity securities in an amount equal to or greater than $2,000,000 (“Next Equity Financing”). The holder of the Convertible Note will receive shares at a rate that represents discount of 15% to the price per share in the Next Equity Financing. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Note, the Company also agreed that the holder will be entitled to a grant of warrants in an amount to be determined at the time of Next Equity Financing. The Convertible Note was issued in a transaction which the Company believes satisfies the requirements of that exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, which exemption is specified by the provisions of Section 5 of that act and Regulation S promulgated pursuant to that act by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

5 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

During March 2008, the Company effected a 13-for-1 stock split of its Shares. All share numbers presented in this filing have been adjusted to reflect the stock split.

During April 2008, in conjunction with the Merger Agreement, a major shareholder cancelled 25,943,182 shares of its common stock and the Company issued 26,000,000 shares of its common stock the former members of General.

During April 2008, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock in connection with a subscription agreement and received $890,000 cash.

On June 20, 2008, the Company sold 420,000 shares of its common stock to one investor in exchange for $420,000 or $1.00 per share.

On July 14, 2008, the Company issued 18,000 shares of its common stock for the purchase of intangible asset (www.zealot.com).

On May 9, 2008 the Board of Directors of the Company approved the CrowdGather, Inc. 2008 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan permits flexibility in types of awards, and specific terms of awards, which will allow future awards to be based on then-current objectives for aligning compensation with increasing long-term shareholder value.

Item 2.  Plan of Operation

This following information specifies certain forward-looking statements of management of the company. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events and are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may”, “shall”, “could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “predict”, “probable”, “possible”, “should”, “continue”, or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.

The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. We cannot guaranty that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources.

These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended July 31, 2008.

Overview.   We are an Internet company that specializes in monetizing a network of online forums and message boards designed to engage, provide information to and build community around users. We are in the process of building what we hope will become one of the largest social, advertising, and user generated content networks by consolidating  existing groups of online users that post on message boards and forums. Our goal is to create the world's best user experience for forum communities, and world class service offerings for forum owners. We believe that the communities built around message boards and forums are the one of the most dynamic sources of information available on the web because forums are active communities built around interest and information exchange around specific topics.
 
14

 
Part of our growth strategy includes identifying and acquiring web properties.  In the last six months, we have been researching potential opportunities for us to acquire targeted online forums within targeted content and advertising verticals in our industry in order to expand our operations. In addition to the over 70 properties and 300 domain names acquired to date, we also maintain ongoing discussions with representatives of certain web properties and other companies that may be interested in being acquired by us or entering into a joint venture agreement with us.

The network we create will rely initially upon our own properties, but it is our goal to build a network that is open to third-party owned forums as well.  Ultimately, the integration of these message board communities on our central CrowdGather Platform will allow for the creation of three things: an user generated content network driven by a proprietary search interface; a social network powered by central ID and log-on management through our proprietary user profile; and an advertising network that allows for us to leverage the targeted demographics of the combined network in order to generate the highest advertising rates for all of our member sites.
  
Our Community of Online Forums
 
Our forum community connects what we believe is a robust and vibrant network of people sharing their questions, expertise and experiences.  We hope that this collection of forums will help users easily access relevant, dynamic, and compelling user-generated content, conversations, and commerce.  Some of our representative properties include:

We seek to continually add to the number of communities our website services by acquiring additional active forums, thereby increasing traffic to our site and the number of forums we host.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. Our total assets were $1,085,832 as of July 31, 2008. We had total current assets of $446,679, which was comprised of cash of $431,208, prepaid expenses of $13,971, and other receivables of $1,500. We also had property and equipment with a net value of $46,914, and intangible assets of $579,592, represented by our domain names and other intellectual property owned, and a security deposit of $12,647.
 
In conjunction with consummation of the Merger, we issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock sold pursuant to a private placement offering conducted in reliance on that exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements as specified in Regulation S in exchange for cash of $890,000. On June 20, 2008, we sold 420,000 shares of our common stock to one investor in exchange for $420,000 or $1.00 per share. On July 8, 2008, we issued an 8% mandatorily convertible promissory note for $500,000. The note is due July 8, 2009 if not yet converted. On July 14, 2008, the Company issued 18,000 shares of its common stock for the purchase of an intangible asset (www.zealot.com). On July 1, 2008, the Company entered into a Consulting and Advisory Agreement with a third party wherein the Company is required to compensate the advisory firm a non-refundable fee of $3,000 and 5,000 shares of its restricted common stock per month. The advisory agreement is for three months and expires September 30, 2008. For the three months ended July 31, 2008, the Company has paid the $3,000 fee and has yet to issue the 5,000 shares of restricted common stock for services rendered.
 
Our current liabilities as of July 31, 2008, totaled $62,263, consisting of $58,963 in accounts payable and accrued expense, $2,500 in accrued interest and $800 in income taxes payable. We also had $500,000 represented by an 8% mandatorily redeemable convertible note payable. We had no other liabilities and no long-term commitments or contingencies at July 31, 2008.

During the three months ended July 31, 2008, we have purchased certain website domain names for cash and stock in the amount of $472,271, and since the Merger, have spent a cumulative total of $579,952 in cash and stock for such acquisitions.

During the three month period ended July 31, 2008, we incurred significant professional fees associated with being a public company. We expect that the legal and accounting costs of being a public company will continue to impact our liquidity during the next twelve months and we may need to obtain funds to pay those expenses. Other than the anticipated increases in general and administrative expenses and legal and accounting costs due to the reporting requirements of being a public company, we are not aware of any other known trends, events or uncertainties, which may affect our future liquidity.

For the three months ended July 31, 2008.

Results of Operations

For the Three month period ended July 31, 2008 as compared to the three month period ended July 31, 2007.

Revenue. We realized revenues of $9,636 for the three month period ended July 31, 2008, in comparison to the $9,919 that we generated for the three month period ended July 31, 2007. We anticipate that as we operate our new business and expand our holdings of websites and domain names, we will begin to generate more significant revenues as we implement the advertising and sponsorship initiatives for all of our web properties.
 
Operating Expenses. For the three month period ended July 31, 2008, our operating expenses were $566,377, resulting in our loss from operations of $556,741. We also had other expense of $1,841 for the three month period ended July 31, 2008. Therefore, our net loss for the three month period ended July 31, 2008, was $559,382, after $800 for provision of income taxes. This is in comparison to our operating expenses of $8,873 for the three month period ended July 31, 2007, where our income from operations was $1,046; our income after provision for income taxes of $800 was $246.  We anticipate that we will continue to incur significant general and administrative expenses, but hope to continue generating increased revenues operating our new business and after expanding operations utilizing the funds raised in our recent private offerings.

Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months.  For the three month period ended July 31, 2008, we generated revenues of $9,636.  To effectuate our business plan during the next twelve months, we need to generate increased revenues by expanding our online forum offerings and increasing the capabilities of our existing online forums. Our failure to do so will hinder our ability to increase the size of our operations and generate additional revenues. If we are not able to generate additional revenues that cover our estimated operating costs, our business may ultimately fail.

We had cash of $431,208 as of July 31, 2008. On June 20, 2008, we sold 420,000 shares of our common stock to one investor in exchange for $420,000 or $1.00 per share.  On July 8, 2008, we issued an 8% mandatorily convertible promissory note for $500,000. The note is due July 8, 2009 if not yet converted. We estimate that our cash on hand subsequent to the offerings will not be sufficient for us to continue and expand our current operations for the next twelve months. Our forecast for the period for which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could fail as a result of a number of factors. Besides generating revenue from our current operations, we believe we will need to raise additional capital to expand our operations to the point at which we are able to operate profitably. Other than anticipated increases in general and administrative expenses and the legal and accounting costs of being a public company, we are not aware of any other known trends, events or uncertainties, which may affect our future liquidity.

We are not currently conducting any research and development activities, except for development of our CrowdGather platform, which we anticipate will cost approximately $150,000 over the next twelve months. We do not anticipate conducting any other research and development activities in the near future.
 
16


We do not anticipate that we will purchase or sell any significant equipment except for computer equipment and furniture which we anticipate will cost approximately $100,000 over the next twelve months.

We do not anticipate any significant changes in the number of employees unless we are able to significant increase the size of our operations. Our management believes that we do not require the services of independent contractors to operate at our current level of activity. However, if our level of operations increases beyond the level that our current staff can provide, then we may need to supplement our staff in this manner.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements at July 31, 2008.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed as of July 31, 2008, the date of this report, our chief executive officer and the principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Not applicable.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

As of July 31, 2008, we have granted an aggregate total of 2,950,000 options to purchase shares of our common stock to several of our employees.  The options covered by each grant vest as follows: 1/8 of total vests after 180 days after grant; remaining to vest at the rate of 1/16 of the total every 90 days thereafter, over 4 years.  The options granted expire 10 years after the date of grant.
 
The options have been granted as follows.  From May 9, 2008 to May 23, 2008, we granted an aggregate of 1,600,000 options with an exercise price of $1.00 per share to ten individuals.  From June 4, 2008 to June 16, 2008, we granted an aggregate of 650,000 options with an exercise price of $1.25 per share to four individuals.  On June 20, 2008, we granted 400,000 options with an exercise price of $1.49 per share to one individual. From June 25, 2008 to July 3, 2008, we granted 300,000 options with an exercise price of $1.35 per share to five individuals.

Subsequent to the period covered by this report, we granted 50,000 options on August 8, 2008 with an exercise price of $1.50 share to one individual, and on September 8, 2008, we granted 50,000 options with an exercise price of $1.46 per share to a second individual.

The options were granted in transaction which we believe satisfies the requirements of that exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, which exemption is specified by the provisions of Section 4(2) of that act.
