Single Touch Systems Inc.
Item 1. Business
Company Overview

Single Touch Systems Inc. (“the Company’) was incorporated in Delaware on May 31, 2000, under its original name, Hosting Site Network, Inc. to provide businesses with Internet services. On May 12, 2008, the Company changed its name to Single Touch Systems Inc. On July 24, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. (“Interactive”), a company incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 2, 2002.

Immediately following the acquisition, the business of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. became the business of the Company. Single Touch Systems, Inc. is now engaged in the business of wireless application development, publishing and distribution. Single Touch Interactive is a provider of customized easy-to-use wireless solutions. It’s patent pending technology simplifies adoption by reaching new data subscribers and generating new revenue streams for carriers and content owners. Single Touch's Abbreviated Dial Code (“ADC”) programs make mobile easy for brands, consumers and carriers. The simplicity of dialing a ‘#’ plus 3 to 6 digit branded telephone number has resulted in high response and download conversion rates. A large percentage of ADC consumers are first time data users, demonstrating how simple it is to deliver mobile data and campaigns through these ADC programs while also opening up a new market outside of Short Message Service (“SMS”). Reaching new consumers is a major initiative for wireless carriers and ADC programs fill that need.

Industry

The data below, which is based on information released by CTIA – The Wireless Association™, shows the year over year growth and penetration of the wireless industry and the large volume of minutes and messages being used.

Industry Growth and Potential

Except as otherwise provided, the statistical data below was derived from the March 2008 comScore Wireless Report. Worldwide it is estimated that there are 2.5 times more cell phones than computers (2.5 billion cell phones compared to 1 billion computers). The age at which people are using cell phones continues to decline and overall consumer dependence on cell phones continues to grow. Annual expenditure on mobile advertising is expected to reach $11.4 billion by 20121. More agencies said they'll spend more money on mobile advertising in 2010 than they did in 2009, with strong increases on big ad spends (>$1 million). Brands, meanwhile, also plan to spend more in 2010. Only 12.5 percent of respondents said they'd spend $5 million or more in 2009. For 2010, that number doubles, and 63% of brands find mobile advertising indispensible (http://www.fiercemobilecontent.com/slideshow/metrics-state-industry-mobile-advertising?img=1#ixzz0cJsjRpJf).

AT&T Wireless and Verizon Wireless continue to be the dominant wireless providers. Both companies continued to add to their already large subscriber count (AT&T Wireless and Verizon Wireless ended 3Q 2009 with 81.6 million and 89 million subscribers, respectively2). For many consumers, cellular phones have already made the transition from a communication device to a media-consumption device. With continuing technological advancements, people are becoming more dependent on their cell phones and less dependent on landlines.

Cellular phones continue to play an increasingly important role in consumers’ lives. For many, they have become more than just a communication tool. Mobile Internet usage continues to rise and many customers report high levels of satisfaction:

Mobile Internet usage is at a tipping point:

representing a change from years prior when they said they didn’t even have a need for the service.

Principal Products and Services
Lines of Business:

By way of example, our ADC program and IVR system may be utilized as follows: Consumer sees TV commercial for #BET

To download ‘Grillz’ by Nelly as your ringtone call # BET, on your wireless phone”

  Consumer dials # 2-3-8 send from mobile phone
Carrier routes ‘abbreviated number’ to STI

      STI’s “IVR” (interactive voice recognition) system picks-up call and gathers information needed Consumer selects and confirms content through IVR prompts Confirms price and authorize charge to bill by pressing keys

  Content is delivered to phone
Billing is completed on carriers bill

Marketing – The advertising for each ADC is created and typically paid for by STI’s various participants.

Technology – Single Touch owns and operates its ADC programs on Single Touch owned equipment located in carrier grade facilities. Our systems are redundant and carrier grade.

Single Touch Systems Inc.
  • Campaign Management – STI has the ability to manage marketing and sales campaigns on a variety of platforms including ADC, SMS, Wireless Application Protocol (“WAP”) and the Web.
     
      STI collects user data for analysis and ongoing consumer dialogue. The STI campaign management tool is flexible and provides real-time media measurement, subscriber profiling and personalized messaging.
     
  • Application Development — STI develops and publishes “value-added” lifestyle wireless data applications for wireless handsets. STI’s strategy is to develop applications that create value and satisfaction to the end-user. For the wireless carrier, these applications make a favorable impact on critical factors of “Average Revenue Per Unit” (or “ARPU”), penetration, customer satisfaction, and user acquisition costs.
     
     
  • STI’s applications are found on major Binary Runtime for Wireless (“BREW”) carriers and remain a steady source of revenue. STI applications include the following:
     
      
  • My Mobile Mail™ - allows the customer to send and receive e-mail from an existing Post Office Protocol version 3 (“POP3”) (Hotmail, Yahoo, Earthlink, etc.) and Internet Message Access Protocol (“IMAP”) email accounts right from your phone.
     
      
  • Sports Connection™ - provides in-depth access to current scores, news, previews, recaps, injury updates, and more for all major sports.
     
      
  • Movietickets.com - allows end-users to browse for movies, theaters, and show times by either city and state combination or zip code. End-users can then purchase tickets by entering their credit card information on a per ticket basis or register their credit card for future transactions.

    Material Contract and Agreements

    Our business agreements consist primarily of Customer Agreements and Carrier Agreements. Customer Agreements are typically agreements with companies which have sales relationships with the end users of the transacted media content or service application. These agreements typically involve a split of the fees received between the client and Single Touch or a fixed fee per transaction. Carrier agreements are infrastructure in nature and establish the connection to the end user that enables Single Touch to deliver and collect payment for the transacted media content or service application. Carrier agreements typically involve a split of the fees received between the carrier and Single Touch. We do not consider any of our Carrier Agreements material as other carriers and aggregators are available in the event any of our Carrier Agreements are terminated or not renewed.

    Material Customer Agreements

    On April 11, 2008 we entered into a services agreement with AT&T Services, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“AT&T”) (the “Agreement”) through our wholly owned subsidiary Single Touch Interactive, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Supplier”). The agreement was amended on March 20, 2009.

    The agreement as amended provides that:

    Supplier shall provision, implement and maintain the Abbreviated Dial Code (“ADC”) Registry Program (patent pending) to be licensed for use by AT&T for the purpose of marketing and promoting customer retail locations and other programs that the Parties mutually agree to make available to the End Users through the ADC Registry Program through media outlets available to and through AT&T and its customers. AT&T may terminate the Agreement at any time on upon proper written notice as provided in the agreement.

    Subsequent to the year ended September 30, 2009, we believe this agreement has become material due to programs that have been in development for an extended period maturing and being deployed over a large retail network.

    This agreement is included as an exhibit to this Annual Report.

    Research and Development

    During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 we spent $784,207 and $536,778, respectively, on software development which was capitalized. Software development costs amortized and charged to operations in 2009 and 2008 were $657,055 and $493,084 respectively which were expensed. In addition, we charged off in 2009 $301,465 in development costs we deemed impaired. We expect to spend approximately $750,000 on research and development during the 2010 fiscal year. Our research and development activities relate primarily to general coding of software and product development. These activities consist of both new products and support or improvements to existing products. Certain of our research and development resources are dedicated to improving our ADC programs while others are dedicated to refining our new mobile couponing products.

    We believe that we may need to increase our current level of dedicated research and development resources by adding both hardware and engineers. We anticipate that additional capital may be required for our research and development efforts in the next 12 months to keep up with our anticipated growth, based on our current commitments and planned product launches.

    Markets and Competition
    Marketing Strategy

    Single Touch provides products that are easy to use. Our core products include flexible and scalable platforms for programs for both carriers and content providers. Single Touch programs reach consumers in ways that are intended to simplify things for the consumer. For example, while certain other companies sell ringtones by sending special codes to another code via text messages, Single Touch allows consumers to get ringtones by making a simple phone call to an ADC. We intend to continue our platform evolution by providing solutions in strategic directions that provide core solutions for our partners and consumers and are differentiated in the market place.

    In general we provide competitive pricing based on the value our products bring to the market while ensuring our costs are covered. We attempt to match our revenue streams with our partners, making many of our programs revenue share based with nominal set-up fees.

    Single Touch has minimized the cost of advertising while still enjoying strong sales pipelines. We employ several cost effective means of promoting our programs such as including our brand on existing programs such as “powered by Single Touch”. We participate in several industry groups including the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA). One of our most common channels is referrals from our wireless carrier partners. Our existing partners also provide word-of-mouth promotion and references for our programs. Our programs are distributed via our Company owned sales channels. Our internal force addresses any direct inquiries from partner referrals, new opportunities with existing partners, referrals from Websites and other opportunities we uncover.

    Competition

    Presently, there are very few competitors in the Abbreviated Dial Code arena. Over the last 6 years, STI has worked on creating the ADC space in the U.S. and with its success has made it difficult for competitors to follow. Some natural barriers include the proven carrier relationships that STI has cultivated. STI is one of a few wireless companies that has direct billing across the carriers.

    Single Touch Systems Inc.
    Government Regulation

    Single Touch provides value added and enabling platforms for carrier based distribution of various software and media content. Applicable regulations are primarily under the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) and related to the operations policies and procedures of the wireless communications carriers. The wireless carriers are primarily responsible for regulatory compliance. Given the growing and dynamic evolution of digital wireless products that can be offered to consumers over a wireless communication network, regulators could impose rules, requirements and standards of conduct on third party content and infrastructure providers like Single Touch. Management is not currently aware of any pending regulations that would materially impact our operations.

    Employees

    We currently have 13 full time and no part-time employees including 1 executive officer, 4 persons serving as programmers and technical staff operators, 3 persons in sales and marketing, 1 person in our research and development department, 1 in-house accountant, 1 in-house legal counsel and 1 person administrative assistant. We expect to increase our future employee levels on an as needed basis in connection with our expected growth. None of our employees is represented by a labor union and we consider our employee relations to be good.

    Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

    As a Smaller Reporting Company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item

    Item 2. Properties

    Our executive offices are located at 2235 Encinitas Blvd., Suite 210, Encinitas, CA 92024. These offices were leased beginning August 1, 2007 for a term of 36 months at a rate of $8,700 per month. The facilities comprise approximately 5000 square feet consisting entirely of administrative and software development office space.

    Item 3. Legal Proceedings

    On April 7, 2009, Teligence (U.S.), Inc. served the Company a complaint arising from an agreement between them as successors in interest and our wholly owned subsidiary Single Touch Interactive. The complaint was filed in the First Judicial District of the State of Nevada in and for Carson City. The case is Teligence v. Single Touch Interactive, Inc., et. al., Case No.: 0900 001271B. The plaintiff is seeking recovery from an alleged Breach of Contract to collect claimed past due amounts payable by Single Touch Interactive, Inc of approximately $350,000. In December 2009, the parties agreed to settle the dispute. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company is required to pay $200,000 in four monthly installments of $50,000 commencing in January 2010. If the $200,000 is not paid as indicated, the balance increases to $300,000 plus attorney fees

    On May 14, 2009, Lavalife, Inc (Canada)., served the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Single Touch Interactive with a complaint. The complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case is Lavalife, Inc. v. Single Touch Interactive, Inc, Civil Action No.: 09 CIV 4558. The Complaint alleges breach of contract and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing with respect to the amount of reimbursement by AT&T to Lavalife for services administered by Single Touch Interactive.

    Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

    The following Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with Single Touch's financial statements and the related notes thereto. The Management's Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. When used, the words “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect,” and the like, and/or future-tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” etc.), or similar expressions, identify certain of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company’s actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    Our historical operations prior to July 24, 2008 reflect only the operations of Single Touch Systems Inc. Prior to July 24, 2008, we existed as a "shell company" with nominal assets whose sole business was to identify, evaluate and investigate various companies to acquire or with which to merge. On July 24, 2008, we consummated an exchange transaction in which we acquired all of the shares of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. in exchange for our issuance of an aggregate of 42,967,554 shares of our common stock. Single Touch Interactive, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 2, 2002. Immediately following the acquisition, Single Touch Interactive, Inc. became our wholly-owned subsidiary and comprised the business of the Company. The exchange transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger (recapitalization) with Single Touch Interactive, Inc. deemed to be the accounting acquirer, and Single Touch Systems, Inc. the legal acquirer.

    Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

    The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated 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 us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In consultation with our Board of Directors, we have identified the following accounting policies that it believes are key to an understanding of its financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.

    Revenue Recognition.

    Under the terms of various service and licensing agreements, the Company receives a fee, net of revenue sharing and other costs, each time its application is utilized by the end user. Revenue is recognized in the month the application is utilized. The Company records its revenue pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-45, formerly EITF 99-19 “ Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent”.

    Advanced service and licensing fees received with minimum guarantees where it cannot determine the fee earned are recognized in income on the straight line basis over the term of the license in accordance with ASC Topic 928-340, formerly FASB SFAS #50 “Financial Reporting in the Record and Music Industry”.

    Non-monetary Consideration Issued for Services

    We value all services rendered in exchange for our common stock at the quoted price of the shares issued at date of issuance or at the fair value of the services rendered, whichever is more readily determinable. All other services provided in exchange for other non-monetary consideration is valued at either the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the consideration relinquished, whichever is more readily determinable.

    Our accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and

    16


    Single Touch Systems Inc.

    services follows the provisions of ASC Topic 505-50. formerly EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services ” and EITF 00-18, Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees.” The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance to EITF 00-18, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor’s balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes. Accordingly, we record the fair value of nonforfeitable common stock issued for future consulting services as prepaid services in our consolidated balance sheet.

    Conventional Convertible Debt

    When the convertible feature of the conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (BCF”). We record a BCF as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20, formerly EITF Issue No. 98-5 (EITF 98-05”), Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency Adjustable Conversion Ratio,” and EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instrument(s) .” In those circumstances, the convertible debt will be recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. We amortize the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

    Software Development Costs

    We account for our software development costs in accordance with ASC Topic 985-20, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 86, “Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Under SFAS No. 86, we expense software development costs as incurred until we determine that the software is technologically feasible. Once we determine that the software is technologically feasible, We amortize the costs capitalized over its expected useful life of the software, which is generally two years.

    Plan of Operation

    Single Touch Systems is a provider of customized easy-to-use wireless solutions. Our patent pending technology simplifies adoption by reaching new data subscribers and generating new revenue streams for carriers and content owners. Single Touch's Abbreviated Dial Code (“ADC”) programs make mobile easy for brands, consumers and carriers. The simplicity of dialing a ‘#’ plus 3 to 6 digit branded telephone number has resulted in high response and download conversion rates. A large percentage of ADC consumers are first time data users, demonstrating how simple it is to deliver mobile data and campaigns through these ADC programs while also opening up a new market outside of Short Message Service (“SMS”).

    Our ADC programs are a developing revenue source. We continue to add new ADC clients and believe the ADC campaigns will continue to evolve beyond ringtone and other media content downloads. Recently developed programs involve non-mobile services campaigns providing value added services to traditional retail customers; like notifying pharmacy customers that a prescription is ready for pick up. We are also developing mobile couponing and other services to address a broader market application of mobile data services.

    Our focus of operations for the next 12-month period will be to develop our business segments focusing on growing operations in each product category including ringtones, mobile applications and mobile couponing to generate revenues. We intend to use profits from operations to maintain and grow each product category. We will continue our efforts to raise additional capital to maintain existing and generate expanded operations.

    Single Touch Systems Inc.

    Of non-employee stock based compensation in 2009 of $12,694,578, $12,678,878 relates to the amortization on the original valuation of warrants issued to a consultant for services. (See Note 14 to the financial statements). The remaining $15,700 in non-employee compensation expense relates to compensation recognized on the vesting of 1,320,000 options to employees, officers, directors and consultants. Of salaries and wages in 2009 totaling $1,476,647, $54,636 pertains to the allocation of the value assigned to the indicated options that vests to employee. Officers’ compensation in 2009 of $377,352 includes $12,560 of compensation recognized on the vesting of the indicated options to officers (See Note 13 to the financial statements).

    In 2009, we recognized an impairment loss of $5,667,898 of which $5.366.433 pertains to the impairment on the patents we purchased from Streamworks (See Note 6 to the financial statements) and $301,465 on the charge off of certain software development costs assigned to projects we abandoned in 2009 and a reduction in costs on other projects to the their expected respective revenue.

    In 2008, we incurred non-employee stock based compensation of $2,292,704 of which $1,932,204 relates to the compensation we recognized on the granting of 4,322,000 options to certain investors and consultants and $360,500 was incurred through the issuance of 257,500 shares of the Company’s common stock to various consultants that were valued at $0.70 per share. Of the $2,390,674 in salaries and wages, $1,039,500 was incurred through the issuance of 742,500 shares of the Company’s common stock. Of the $2,238,258 in officer’s compensation, $1,575,000 was incurred through the issuance of 1,875,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Company also issued an additional 1,125,000 shares of common stock in cancellation of prior year’s accrued compensation of $1,575,000.

    Other income (expenses)

    In 2009 we recognized a reduction in our derivative liability of $9,119,103 relating to the warrants issued to a consultant in December 2008. Our derivative liability pertains to our requirement to register the underlying shares associated with this warrant grant pursuant to ASC Topic 815-40, formerly EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.

    Interest expense decreased a total of $955,963 (65.88% decrease) from $1,450.913 in 2008 to $494,950 in 2009. The major difference in interest expense pertains to the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) recognized on certain third party convertible debt amounting to $1,013,443 in 2008 as compared to $0 BCF amortization in 2009. The Company recognized a BCF relating to the convertible debt due its President and Activate, Inc a Company wholly owned by our President, but we are charging the amortization of the BCF to equity as the underlying debt is due to a related party.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

    During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 we received $2,972,298 in net cash provided by financing activities including net borrowings from our Founder/CEO, Anthony Macaluso, and Activate, Inc (an affiliate of Mr. Macaluso), in the amount of $636,663, borrowings from a Director and companies affiliated with the Director totaling $234,585 and net borrowing from third parties totaling $1,550,000, $550,000 through the issuance 648,810 shares of our common stock and $1,050 through the exercise of warrants purchasing 90,000 shares of our common stock. Net cash used in operating activities totaled $2,083,812. Cash used in investing activities was $803,989. The resultant overall net increase in cash for the period was $84,497; where the beginning balance for the period was $175,061, the cash balance at the end of the period was $259,558.

    During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 we received $4,862,896 in net cash provided by financing activities including net borrowings from our Founder/CEO, Anthony Macaluso in the amount of $1,263,396, borrowings from a Director and an company affiliated with the Director totaling $299,500 and $3,300,000 through the issuance of convertible debt through our private offering. Net cash used in operating activities totaled $4,060,899. Cash used in investing activities was $688,557. The resultant overall net increase in cash for the period was $113,440; where the beginning balance for the period was

    19


    Single Touch Systems Inc.

    $61,621, the cash balance at the end of the period was $175,061.

    Our operations have been funded through loans from our Founder/CEO Anthony Macaluso, loans from third parties, and proceeds from the issuance of our shares of common stock. We have not generated sufficient revenue to pay for our operations. We expect to experience cash flow difficulties for an indefinite period. Although no assurances can be given, we believe that our cash flow deficit will improve as revenues and sales increase. In addition, although no assurances can be given, we believe that we may be able to secure additional equity and/or debt financing.

    A critical component of our operating plan impacting our continued existence is the ability to obtain additional capital through additional equity and/or debt financing. We do not anticipate enough positive internal operating cash flow until such time as we can generate substantial additional revenues and/or improve profit margins on those overall revenues, which may take the next few years to fully realize. In the event we cannot obtain the necessary capital to pursue our strategic plan, we may have to significantly curtail our operations. This would materially impact our ability to continue operations.

    Our near term cash requirements are anticipated to be offset through the receipt of funds from private placement offerings and loans obtained through private sources. Since inception, we have financed cash flow requirements through debt financing and issuance of common stock for cash and services. As we expand operational activities, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings and bank borrowings to the extent necessary to provide working capital.

    Over the next twelve months we believe that existing capital and anticipated funds from operations will not be sufficient to sustain operations and planned expansion. Consequently, we will be required to seek additional capital in the future to fund growth and expansion through additional equity or debt financing or credit facilities. No assurance can be made that such financing would be available, and if available it may take either the form of debt or equity. In either case, the financing could have a negative impact on our financial condition and our Stockholders.

    We may continue to incur operating losses over the next twelve months. Our operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, obtain a customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade technology and products, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

    Going Concern

    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Based upon current operating levels, we may require additional capital or significant reconfiguration of our operations to sustain our operations for the foreseeable future. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and 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 flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability. We have limited capital with which to pursue our business plan. There can be no assurance that our future operations will be significant and profitable, or that we will have sufficient resources to meet our objectives. We are partially dependent upon our officers and other insiders to provide working capital. However, there can be no assurance that these loans and capital advances will continue in the future. We intend to generate sufficient revenues from our line of wireless products and services to fund our business plan. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funds.

    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

    Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

    To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
    Single Touch Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries
    Encinitas, California

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Single touch Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of September 30, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’(deficit) and cash flows for the two years ended September 30, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Single Touch Systems, Inc .and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the two years ended September 30, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and had negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in the Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

    Single Touch Systems Inc.

    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    September 30, 2009 and 2008
    Note 1. Organization, History and Business

    Single Touch Systems Inc. (“the Company’) was incorporated in Delaware on May 31, 2000, under its original name, Hosting Site Network, Inc. On May 12, 2008, the Company changed its name to Single Touch Systems Inc.

    On July 24, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. (“Interactive”), a company incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 2, 2002, in exchange for issuing 42,967,554 shares of its common stock. For financial reporting purposes, the acquisition was treated as a reverse acquisition whereby Interactive’s operations continue to be reported as if it had actually been the acquirer. Assets and liabilities continue to be reported at Interactive’s historical cost, as the Company had nominal assets, liabilities and operations before the reverse acquisition.

    The Company develops software applications utilized by end users in downloading images, ringtones, games, and other content into their cell phones and other wireless communication devices.

    On May 27, 2008, Interactive declared a 1-for-2 reverse split of its common stock. All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of shares outstanding and per-share amounts have been restated to reflect this stock split.

    Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has accumulated operating losses since its inception (May 31, 2000). In addition, the Company has used ongoing working capital in its operations. At September 30, 2009, its accumulated deficit amounted to $101,204,350.In view of current matters, the continuation of the Company’s operations is dependent on revenue from its licensing of its technologies and related services, advances made by its officers, and the raising capital through the sale of its equity instruments or issuance of debt. Management believes that these sources of funds will allow the Company to continue as a going concern through 2010. However, no assurances can be made that current or anticipated future sources of funds will enable the Company to finance future periods’ operations. In light of these circumstances, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

    Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
    Reclassification

    Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the 2008 amounts to 2009 classifications for comparative purposes.

    Principles of Consolidation

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Single Touch Systems, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Single Touch Interactive, Inc, and HSN, Inc. an inactive company formed in New Jersey on August 21, 2001. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

    Revenue Recognition

    The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as revised by SAB No. 104. As such, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectibility is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts.

    Single Touch Systems Inc.

    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    September 30, 2009 and 2008

    Revenue is derived from licensing of the Company’s wireless applications to various telecommunication companies. Under the terms of the various licensing agreements, the Company receives a fee, net of revenue sharing and other costs, each time its application is utilized by the end user. Revenue is recognized in the month the application is utilized. The Company records its revenue pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605—45-45 “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.” Advanced licensing fees received with minimum guarantees where it cannot determine the fee earned are recognized in income on the straight line basis over the term of the license in accordance with ASC Topic 928-605-25, “Financial Reporting in the Record and Music Industry.”

    In addition, the Company also generates income through the development of software for third parties on a contractual basis. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software.

    Accounts Receivable

    Accounts receivable is reported at the customers’ outstanding balances less any allowance for doubtful accounts. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable.

    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

    An allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and information collected from individual customers. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectibility is determined to be permanently impaired.

    Property and Equipment

    Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.

    Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes based upon the following estimated useful lives:

    Software development    2 -3 years 
    Equipment    5 years 
    Computer hardware    5 years 
    Office furniture    7 years 

    Long-Lived Assets

    The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value. At September 30, 2009, the Company recorded an impairment loss for certain software development costs totaling $301,465 and an impairment loss on acquired patents totaling $5,366,433 (See Note 6).

    Prepaid Royalties

    The Company’s agreements with licensors and developers generally provide it with exclusive publishing rights and require it to make advance royalty payments that are recouped against royalties due to the licensor or developer based on product sales. Prepaid royalties are amortized on a software application-by-application basis, based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total current and estimated future sales or the contractual royalty rate based on actual net product sales. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of prepaid royalties, and charges to operations the amount that management determines is probable that will not be recouped at the contractual royalty rate in the period in which such determination is made or at the time the Company determines that it will cancel a development project. Prepaid royalties are classified as current and non-current assets based upon estimated net product sales within the next year.

    Capitalized Software Development Costs

    The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application. Capitalized software development costs represent the costs associated with the internal development of the Company’s software applications. Amortization of such costs is recorded on a software application-by-application basis, based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total of current and estimated future sales for the applications or the straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful life of the software application. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of capitalized software costs and will charge to operations amounts that are deemed unrecoverable for projects it will abandon.

    Issuances Involving Non-cash Consideration

    All issuances of the Company’s stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a dollar amount equaling the market value of the shares issued on the date the shares were issued for such services. The non-cash consideration received pertains to consulting services.

    Stock Based Compensation

    The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123R, "Share- based Payment” and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure - An amendment to SFAS No. 123.” (ASC Topic 505-50) These standards define a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In accordance with SFAS Nos. 123R and 148, the cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the pricing model at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. During the year ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized stock based compensation expense of $12,678,878 from the granting of a common stock warrant to an advisor (See Note 14) and $82,896 from the vesting of options granted to certain employees, directors and consultants in 2008. Of the $12,761,774 in stock-based compensation, a total of $12,694,578 was attributed to consulting expense, $12,560 was included in officers’ compensation and $54,636 was included in salaries and wages. During the year ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of its common stock to its President in exchange for canceling the $1,050,000 of accrued compensation. Also in 2008, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of its common stock to its President for $525,000 in accrued compensation for services rendered during 2008 and $1,575,000 for services rendered during 2007, $1,400,000 in stock based compensation from the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to employees and consultants and recognized $376,800 in stock based compensation in the granting of options to purchase 8,675,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

    Earnings (Loss) Per Share

    The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260-10, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per 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. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented since the effect of the assumed conversion of warrants and debt to purchase common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares as of September 30, 2009 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share include 29,119,334 warrants, 8,675,000 options, and $2,415,660 of debt convertible into 30,195,747 shares of the Company’s common stock. Potential common shares as of September 30, 2008 were 16,376,000 warrants,8,675,000 options and $2,319,512 of debt convertible into 28,993,900 shares of the Company’s common stock that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share. If such shares were included in diluted EPS, they would have resulted in weighted-average common shares of 127,466,447 and 63,114,094 for the year ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

    Cash and Cash Equivalents

    For purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all stable, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less.

    Concentration of Credit Risk

    The Company primarily transacts its business with one financial institution. The amount on deposit in that one institution may from time-to-time exceed the federally insured limit.

    During the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, significantly all of the Company’s revenue was generated from contracts with ten customers.

    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 affects 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    Convertible Debentures

    If the conversion feature of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with conversion and other Options” In those circumstances, the convertible debt will be recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and the Company will amortize the discount to interest expense or equity (if the debt is due to a related party), over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

    Income Taxes

    The Company accounts for its income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 109 (ASC Topic 740-10) . The method of accounting for income taxes under SFAS 109 is an asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial reporting bases of other assets and liabilities.

    In May 2009, the FASB adopted Codification Topic 855,” Subsequent Event’s, which requires entities to disclose the date through which they have evaluated subsequent events and whether the date corresponds with the release of its financial statements. The statement established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption ASC 855 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

    In June 2009, the FASB adopted Codification Topic Statement No. 105 “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” ASC 105 is the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accounts (“AICPA”), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), and related accounting literature. ASC 105 reorganized the thousands of GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics and displays them using a consistent structure. Also included is relevant Securities and Exchange Commission guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections. ASC 105 will be effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods that end after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted the Codification during the current period ending September 30, 2009. There was no impact upon adoption.

    In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (Codification Topic 820). Based on the guidance, if an entity determines that the level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased and that a transaction is not orderly, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant adjustment to the transaction or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157 Fair Value Measurements. This FSP is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.

The guidance applies to investments in debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairments may be recorded. If an entity’s management asserts that it does not have the intent to sell a debt security and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, then an entity may separate other-than-temporary impairments into two components: 1) the amount related to credit losses (recorded in earnings), and 2) all other amounts (recorded in other comprehensive income). This FSP is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.

    Recent Accounting Pronouncement Issued But Not in Effect

    In June 2009, the FASB adopted SFAS 166,” Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (“ACS Topic 860”) Statement 166 is a revision to FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, and will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 enhances information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and an entity’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets.

    SFAS 166 will be effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. Early application is not permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 166 will have an impact on its consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

    In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“ACS Topic 810). Statement 167 is a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance. SFAS 167 will require a reporting entity to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A reporting entity will be required to disclose how its involvement with a variable interest entity affects the reporting entity’s financial statements. SFAS 167 will be effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adoption of SFAS 167 on its financial statements.

    Note 12. Fair Value

    The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC Topic 820-10”), at the beginning of fiscal year 2009 to measure the fair value of certain of its financial assets required to be measured on a recurring basis. The adoption of ASC Topic 820-10 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below: Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

      The Company Level 1 assets include cash.

    Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

    The Company’s Level 2 assets consist of a accounts receivable, notes and convertible notes payable, and derivative liability. Due to the short term nature of its accounts receivable, notes and convertible notes payable, the Company estimates he fair value of these assets and liabilities at their current basis. The Company determines the fair value of its derivative liability based upon the trading prices of its common stock on the date of issuance and when applicable, on the last day of the quarter. The Company uses the Black-Sholes Option Model in valuing the fair value of level 2 assets.

    The Company has no level 3 assets or liabilities.

    Under the service agreement, the Company provides the application for the first four months at no cost, but is entitled to reimbursement for any direct pass through third party costs paid by the Company relating to the use of the licensed technology and related service. Thereafter the Company nets $.175 per transaction on the delivery of any mobile content to the third Party payer through the utilization of the application for a period of up to three years. As the $2,000,000 advance is not refundable, the Company is amortizing it into revenue evenly over the remaining 29 months of the license agreement pursuant to SFAS No. 50 (ASC Topic 928-10). Therefore on a monthly basis, the Company is reporting revenue relating to this license agreement the greater of the transaction fee earned or $68,966 ($2,000,000/29 months). In addition, during the first four months of the contract, the Company received the revenue generated under the service agreement as a contingency against future costs associated with the first four months of the agreement.

    Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting/Financial Disclosure

    None,
    Item 9A(T) Controls and Procedures
    Evaluation of Disclosures and Procedures

    We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2009. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

    We have made the determination that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, due to the small scale of our operations, we anticipate that when operational activities expand it will be necessary to add additional controls and procedures to ensure effectiveness.

    Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

    A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

    Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

    Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company. Our control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

    Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; that receipts and expenditures are being made only with proper authorizations of management and directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

    All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

    Single Touch Systems, Inc.

    Management, including our former President acting as both Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies published in June of 2006 and the PCAOB preliminary staff views published October 17, 2007. Based on our assessment and those criteria, management concluded that during the period covered by this report, our internal control and procedures over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2009.

    Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

    This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

    Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

    During the period covered by this report, there was no significant change in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

    Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

    Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the company’s directors and officers, and persons who own more than ten-percent (10%) of the company’s common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission reports of ownership on Form 3 and reports of change in ownership on Forms 4 and 5. Such officers, directors and ten-percent stockholders are also required to furnish the company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by the company and on written representations from certain reporting persons, the company believes that all Section 16(a) reports applicable to its officers, directors and ten-percent stockholders with respect to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 were filed with the exception that the company has not yet received copies of Form 3 ownership reports from our Directors Richard Siber and Laurence Dunn.

    Board of Director Meetings and Committees

    The Board of Directors has held several meetings during the year ended September 30, 2009 and has acted through unanimous consent resolutions.

    Our current Board of Directors consists of four members. Our directors hold office until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal or until their successors have been qualified. None of our directors receive any remuneration for acting as such. Directors may however be reimbursed their expenses, if any, for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors.

    Our Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees. No such committees have been appointed to date. Accordingly, we do not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert. We are presently not required to have an audit committee financial expert but intend to retain one in conjunction with the growth of our business. We have determined that for the purpose of and pursuant to the instructions of item 407(d) of regulation S-K titled Audit Committee Financial Expert, we do not currently have a member that possesses the attributes of an “audit committee financial expert”.

    Similarly we do not have a nominating committee or a committee performing similar functions. Presently, our entire board serves the functions of an audit committee and a nominating committee. We have not implemented procedures by which our security holders may recommend board nominees to us but expect to do so in the future. The Board is expected to appoint an audit committee, nominating committee and compensation committee, and to adopt charters relative to each such committee. Until further determination by the Board, the full Board will undertake the duties of the audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee.

    We have no plans in place and have never maintained any plans that provide for the payment of retirement benefits or benefits that will be paid primarily following retirement including, but not limited to, tax qualified deferred benefit plans, supplemental executive retirement plans, tax-qualified deferred contribution plans and nonqualified deferred contribution plans. Similarly, we have no contracts, agreements, plans or arrangements, whether written or unwritten, that provide for payments to the named executive officers or any other persons following, or in connection with the resignation, retirement or other termination of a named executive officer, or a change in control of us or a change in a named executive officer’s responsibilities following a change in control.

    No family relationships exist among any directors, executive officers, or persons nominated or chosen to become directors or executive officers.

    Employment Agreements

    None of our employees have written employment agreements. All of our other employees are employees at will and can be terminated upon notice. We pay employees for national holidays and vacation time of one week per year. We provide Medical benefits for the employee only and do not currently provide any other benefit or retirement programs. Employees may receive bonuses from time to time in the form of cash or equity at the sole discretion of the board of directors. We expect to enter into formal employment agreement with our other executive officers and key employees in the near future.

    We have several employees with compensation rates in excess of $100,000 per year that are not officers or key employees as they could be replaced without significantly impacting our operations. These employees consist primarily of technical staff.

    Compensation of Directors

    There are currently no compensation arrangements in place for members of the Board of Directors acting as such. We expect to establish these arrangements as new members are appointed to the Board of Directors. Directors may however be reimbursed their expenses, if any, for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors.

    In April 2008 we terminated the Hosting Site Network, Inc. 2002 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (the “2002 Plan”) and adopted the 2008 Stock Plan (the “2008 Plan”). No options were ever issued under the 2002 Plan. The 2008 Plan is intended to advance our interests by inducing individuals of outstanding ability and potential to join, remain with, or provide consulting or advisory services to us and our affiliates, by encouraging and enabling eligible employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors to acquire proprietary interests in us, and by providing the participating employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors with an additional incentive to promote our success. This is accomplished by providing for the granting of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock to eligible persons. The 2008 Plan is presently administered by our board of directors but may be subsequently administered by a compensation committee designated by our board of directors.

    The stock subject to options granted under the 2008 Plan is shares of our common stock, par value $.001 per share, whether authorized but unissued or held in our treasury. The maximum number of shares of common stock which may be issued pursuant to options and awards granted under the 2008 Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate eight million, eight hundred thousand (8,800,000) shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the 2008 Plan. In the event that our outstanding common stock is subsequently changed by reason of combination of shares, reverse split, stock dividend or the like, an appropriate adjustment will be made by the 2008 Plan administrator in the aggregate number and kind of shares to be subject to the 2008 Plan and the awards then outstanding or to be granted, the maximum number of shares which may be granted under the 2008 Plan, the per share exercise price of options and the terms of awards. If we are reorganized, consolidated, or merged with another corporation, the holder of an option or award may be entitled to receive upon the exercise of his option or award the same number and kind of shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash or securities as he would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of any such corporate event as if he has been, immediately prior to such event, the holder of the number of shares covered by his option or award.

    No option or award granted under the 2008 Plan is transferable by the individual or entity to whom it was granted otherwise than by will or laws of decent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of such individual, is not exercisable by any other person, but only by him.

    Single Touch Systems, Inc.

    Single Touch Systems, Inc.

    Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

    Our President, Anthony Macaluso, is currently a majority shareholder of Soapbox Mobile, Inc. which is providing the use of server equipment to Single Touch at a monthly rate of $4000 per month. This is a month to month agreement and is not material to Single Touch revenues at this time. The board has reviewed the terms of this agreement and has determined that the fee is not excessive based on Soapbox Mobile’s costs associated with the equipment.

    Single Touch entered into an agreement with Activate, Inc., a corporation wholly owned by Single Touch’s President. Activate holds a license on certain applications on which Single Touch licensed to a third party Activate has sublicensed the applications to Single Touch and in consideration, receives 3% of all net revenue generated under the license. Activate collects the revenue generated under this license and pays 97% of the amounts collected to Single Touch.

    In June of 2008, Single Touch issued stock warrants to Laurence Dunn, a Director as consideration for consulting services. Mr. Dunn’s consulting services were as a strategic advisor performing corporate planning, strategic consulting projects, mergers and acquisition advise, introduction to institutional groups, financial engineering services and related services. The warrants were for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of Single Touch’s common stock at a price of $0.01 per share.

    Single Touch engages Richard Siber, a director, on a cash basis for consulting services through SiberConsulting which provides technical and marketing services to the wireless industry. Mr. Siber received a total of $80,000 in cash compensation for the year ended September 30, 2008.

    During 2008, the Company accrued compensation to its President of $1,050,000. The compensation was valued based upon the estimated fair value of the 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued in consideration for these services. Also during 2008, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of its common stock in consideration for the cancellation of $375,000 of indebtedness due him.

    On July 15, 2008, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with its President. The term of the new agreement is through December 31, 2008. Under the new agreement, the President received an annual salary of $275,000 and will receive 1,500,000 shares of common stock for accrued compensation. The 1,500,000 shares were issued on July 24, 2008.

    As of July 15, 2008 Mr. Macaluso has converted outstanding amounts due him, including accrued salary, loans to Single Touch, amounts owed to him through his companies Activate, Inc. and Activate Sports LLC and any accrued interest into three promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,954,514 due on demand which otherwise mature on July 15, 2010. The notes bear interest at the rate of 8% and are convertible on demand at the rate of $0.08 per share.

    In 2008, Activate Sports, LLC exercised its right to convert the full principal balance due it by the Company of $561,558 into 7,019,475 shares of the Company’s common stock. Activate Sports, LLC Is wholly owned by the Company’s President.
