PART I

Item 1. Business

Overview

We offer a comprehensive online media solution for clients to reach their target audience on the Internet. We provide lead generation and performance based customer acquisition solutions via our network of financial, news, and business networking portals, blogs, targeted e-mail, banners, search engine optimization, and co-registration opportunities. We primarily make money from the following two lines of business: (1) Online advertising - Our financial content network is available over the Internet, and our revenues are generated through the sale of display advertisings, list management, targeted lead generation, and web consulting services, and (2) Lead generation/Performance based marketing - Utilizing our internally designed and developed lead generation platform, we deliver buyers to sellers by providing vendors with opportunities to contact qualified and interested potential customers, and essentially crafting high-quality new-business leads for such vendors, and in return we receive fees. Our current lead generation focus surrounds, but is not limited to, the industry of debt settlement, credit repair/reports, and tax settlements.

We own and operate an extensive portfolio of approximately 6,000 domain names (commonly referred to as URLs). Our URL portfolio is currently used to build consumer-based financial portals, microsites, blogs, and landing pages used for lead generation initiatives. This media strategy drives new membership, which results in recurring user traffic to our websites and allows us to generate highly relevant responses and leads for our online advertising and lead generation customers.

In 2010 we expanded into the rapidly growing performance based software business through the formation of our new Cake Marketing Software Division. Our proprietary software streamlines the management of large scale online marketing campaigns for affiliate marketers and advertisers, while its unique ability to simplify online marketing efforts generates immediate cost saving for clients. The software is available for a monthly licensing fee to affiliate marketers, advertising agencies and corporations using a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model.

As of the end of 2008 we closed our debt settlement referrals division, however in 2009 we still received fees for sales and marketing support we provided in connection with debt settlement solutions prior to closing this unit. These payments gradually decreased in 2009 and we expect that they will continue to decrease in 2010.

Our principal offices are located at: 12121 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 322, Los Angeles, CA 90025, and our telephone number there is: (310) 903 4001. Our corporate website is: www.accelerizenewmedia.com.

How we market our services

We market our online publishing and financial portal strategy through:

●

organic search listings, which are results based on factors such as keyword relevancy within a web page. These are the listings generally found on the left hand side in search engines, and are not influenced by direct financial payments, only by effective search engine optimization;

●

paid search marketing, which consists of placing ads for products or services on search engines and on content sites across the Internet. These ads are typically small snippets of text linked to merchandise pages. Payment is made when users click through to the site from the ad;

●

our blogs and microsites, which complement our financial portals, deliver up-to-date news and analysis, which then refer the user to our portals for more detailed information. Using blogs allows us to benefit from the real-time nature of blog search listings, so that current information in our blogs can appear in a wide variety of sites and blog aggregation search engines, often within minutes of the initial posting; and

●

our financial portals, which generate sales leads and targeted traffic for advertisers. We market our services within our portfolio of websites via banner ad inventory, targeted newsletters, and filing alerts.

We market our Lead Generation/Performance Based Marketing Services through:

●

marketing methods, which include organic search engine optimization, paid search engine marketing, e-mail marketing, media buys, and display advertising; and

●

marketing affiliates and publishers, who drive qualified traffic from one website to another.

We market our Software-as-a-Service through:

●

lead generation firms, online publishers, advertising agencies and corporations worldwide.

How we support our services

Web development, server and database development/maintenance, financial data process, and lead generation development/maintenance are carried out in-house and via a number of partners.

On March 16, 2009, we entered into a services agreement with Edgar Online Inc. to provide financial data and content to our www.secfilings.com financial portal.

www.cakemarketing.com, offers a patent-pending, Software-as-a-Service-based lead generation, validation, and distribution platform for performance based marketing companies, online publishers, advertising agencies, and corporations. The company's scalable, easy-to-use platform makes online marketing easy and accessible to all industries.

Discontinued Products

During 2008 we decided to cease the provision of our debt settlement referral division effective January 1, 2009. We continued to receive commissions for debt settlement solutions provided to past clients, on a diminishing scale during 2009 and expect to continue to receive commissions in 2010, but will not be adding additional clients or have any further financial obligations with respect to our Debt Settlement Referral Division.

Industry/Market Trends

Industry participants are shifting more of their marketing budgets from traditional media channels such as direct mail, television, radio, and newspapers to the Internet because of increasing usage of the Internet by their potential customers. We believe that direct marketing is the most applicable and relevant marketing segment to us because it is targeted and measurable.

We believe that our business depends upon the continuing consumer and business use of the Internet as a primary tool to facilitate research, communications, and transactions, especially in the following segments:

●	Online Advertising;

●	Lead Generation/Performance Based Marketing; and

●	Software-as-a-Service for Performance Based Marketing

Market Information & Statistics

According to the July 2009 research report, “Consumer Behavior Online: A 2009 Deep Dive,” by Forrester Research, Americans spend 33% of their time with media on the Internet, but online direct marketing represents only 16% of the $149 billion in total annual U.S. direct marketing spending in 2009, as reported by the Direct Marketing Association. The Internet is an effective direct marketing medium due to its targeting and measurability characteristics. If direct marketing budgets shift to the Internet in proportion to Americans’ share of time spent with media on the Internet — from 16% to 33% of the $149 billion in total spending in 2009 — that could represent an increased market opportunity of $25 billion. In addition, as traditional media categories such as television and radio shift from analog to digital formats, they then become channels for the targeted and measurable marketing techniques and capabilities we have developed for the Internet, thus expanding our addressable market opportunity. Further future market potential may also come from international markets.

Online Advertising and Performance Based Marketing Statistics

AMR International, according to a March 4, 2010 article in eMarketer Digital Intelligence, predicts that business to business online advertising spending will increase at a compounded annual growth rate of 12% between 2009 and 2013.

According to AMR International, lead generation will increase at a compound annual growth rate of 17% between 2009 and 2013 for business to business marketing.

62% of businesses have insufficient ability to measure effectiveness of their advertising campaigns, according to Marketing and Media Ecosystem's 2010 Survey.

58% of leading companies believe that direct partnerships with media companies are important, according to Marketing and Media Ecosystem's 2010 Survey.

71% of advertising agencies expect digital to reach 25% of media mix in 2010, according to Marketing and Media Ecosystem's 2010 Survey.

JP Morgan in a research note issued January 2, 2008 stated that it expects online advertising to grow 10.5% in 2010 to $8.3 billion.

JP Morgan in the research note issued January 2, 2008 noted that U.S. consumers spend about 38% of their time online, but the sector attracts only 8% of advertising dollars, leaving substantial upside.

Intellectual Property

Our employees are required to execute confidentiality and non-use agreements that transfer any rights they may have in copyrightable works or patentable technologies to us. In addition, prior to entering into discussions with potential business partners or customers regarding our business and technologies, we generally require that such parties enter into nondisclosure agreements with us. If these discussions result in a license or other business relationship, we also generally require that the agreement setting forth the parties’ respective rights and obligations include provisions for the protection of our intellectual property rights. For example, the standard language in our agreements provides that we retain ownership of all patents and copyrights in our technologies and requires our customers to display our copyright and trademark notices. We do not currently have any registered or pending patents or trademarks, except the trademark “Knockout Debt” (USPTO Reg. No. 2,810,014) and a US Provisional Patent Application (S/N 61/301, 811) which was filed on Feb 5, 2010, encompassing our lead generation management software.

Competition

Our primary competitors include:

Edgar Online, Inc., which engages in the creation and distribution of fundamental financial data and public filings for equities, mutual funds, and other publicly traded assets principally in the United States. It produces data that assists in the analysis of the financial, business, and ownership conditions of an investment. The company delivers its information products via the Internet in the form of end-user subscriptions and data feeds. Edgar Online, Inc., is also one of our business partners providing us with SEC filings and other data.

TheStreet.com, Inc., which together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, operates as a financial media company. Its flagship site, TheStreet.com, provides financial commentary, analysis, and news with financial coverage to individual investors. TheStreet.com also offers investigative journalism, commentary on market trends, specific stock and mutual fund analysis, and personal finance and lifestyle sections.

ValueClick, Inc., which provides online advertising campaigns and programs for advertisers and advertising agency customers in the United States and internationally. It operates in four segments: Media, Affiliate Marketing, Comparison Shopping, and Technology. ValueClick Inc. customers include advertisers, advertising agencies, and traffic distribution partners.

QuinStreet, Inc. provides online direct marketing and media services. The company offers online messaging, email broadcasting, search engine marketing, and brand management services. It caters to education, financial services, healthcare, advertising, and tourism sectors. QuinStreet, Inc. also operates web portal which offers comprehensive consumer information service and companion insurance brokerage service to self-directed insurance shoppers. The company was founded in 1999 and is based in Foster City, California.

Other large competitors in the business information industry are Reuters, Standard & Poor’s and Thomson Financial. Competition for information focused on financial data or credit risk comes from companies such as S&P’s Capital IQ, Dun & Bradstreet and Factset. Competition for legal information comes from companies such as Thompson’s Global Securities Information. Other competitors include companies such as 10-K Wizard Technology, which focus on simple SEC data offerings, and MSN Money and Yahoo! Finance, which are more focused on serving individual investors.

Other competitors in the Software-as-a-Service industry include www.hitpath.com, www.linktrust.com, www.pontiflex.com.

The principal competitive factors relating to attracting and retaining users include the quality and relevance of our search results, and the usefulness, accessibility, integration and personalization of the online services that we offer. In the case of attracting advertisers, the principal competitive factors are reach, effectiveness and efficiency of our marketing services.

Our competitors have significantly greater capital, technology, resources, and brand recognition than we do. However, we believe that based upon past performance and our unique blend of web assets we will remain highly competitive in our industry.

Government Regulation

Although there are currently relatively few laws and regulations directly applicable to the Internet, it is possible that new laws and regulations will be adopted in the United States and elsewhere. The adoption of restrictive laws or regulations could slow or otherwise affect Internet growth. The adoption of laws or regulations restricting or limiting debt settlement could affect our lead generation business. The application of existing laws and regulations governing Internet issues such as property ownership, libel and personal privacy is also subject to substantial uncertainty. There can be no assurance that current or new government laws and regulations, or the application of existing laws and regulations (including laws and regulations governing issues such as property ownership, taxation, defamation and personal injury), will not expose us to significant liabilities, slow Internet growth or otherwise hurt us financially.

Research and Development

We expended no resources on research and development activities during the last two fiscal years.

Employees

As of December 31, 2009, we had 10 full-time employees, and 3 consultants, including all of our executive officers . None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements, and we believe our relationships with our employees to be good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

If we are unable to obtain financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern.

We have generated revenues since inception but they were not an adequate source of cash to fund future operations. Historically we have relied on private placement issuances of equity and debt. We will need to raise additional working capital to fund our ongoing operations and growth. The amount of our future capital requirements depends primarily on the rate at which we increase our revenues and correspondingly decrease our use of cash to fund operations. Cash used for operations will be affected by numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, our ability to successfully market our products and services and the degree to which competitive products and services are introduced to the market. As long as our cash flow from operations remains insufficient to completely fund operations, we will continue depleting our financial resources and seeking additional capital through equity and/or debt financing. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of debt, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing stockholders will be reduced and those stockholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing to fund our ongoing operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern. In that event, we may be forced to cease operations and our stockholders could lose their entire investment in us. Our audited financial statements included in this annual report for the period ended December 31, 2009 contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

We have a history of losses, and we expect to continue to operate at a loss and to have negative cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future.

We have a history of continuing losses and negative cash flow from operations. At December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009, we had cumulative net losses of approximately $5.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively. Our operations have been financed primarily through proceeds from the issuance of equity and borrowings under promissory notes. On December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009, we had approximately $253,000 and $128,000 in cash, respectively. We expect that our expenses will increase substantially as we continue to develop and market our products and services. As a result, we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.

Because we expect to continue to incur net losses, we may not be able to implement our business strategy and the price of our stock may decline.

While we are hopeful of becoming profitable by the end of 2010, we hoped to be profitable in 2009, and there is no assurance that this objective can be attained. Accordingly, our ability to operate our business and implement our business strategy may be hampered by negative cash flows in the future, and the value of our stock may decline as a result. Our capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned if, for example, we incur unforeseen capital expenditures, unforeseen operating expenses or make investments to maintain our competitive position. If this is the case, we may have to delay or abandon some or all of our development plans or otherwise forego market opportunities. We will need to generate significant additional revenues to be profitable in the future, and we may not generate sufficient revenues to be profitable on either a quarterly or annual basis in the future.

Our quarterly financial results will fluctuate, making it difficult to forecast our results of operation.

Our revenues and operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

●	Variability in demand and usage for our products and services;

●	Market acceptance of new and existing services offered by us, our competitors and potential competitors;

●	Governmental regulations affecting the use of the Internet, including regulations concerning intellectual property rights and security features; and

●	The recent downturn in the economy which led to a large increase in home foreclosures, business failures, unemployment and substantial growth in consumer debt.

Our current and future levels of expenditures are based primarily on our growth plans and estimates of expected future revenues. If our operating results fall below the expectation of investors, our stock price will likely decline significantly.

We face risks related to the recent credit crisis.

Current uncertainty in the global economic conditions resulting from the recent disruption in credit markets poses a risk to the overall economy and has adversely affected the online advertising market, which is now highly competitive. These economic conditions have impacted consumer and customer demand for our products, as well as our ability to borrow money to finance our operations, to maintain our key employees, and to manage normal commercial relationships with our customers, suppliers and creditors. For example, customers spend less on on-line advertising and other services, and may extend the payment periods for our lead generation services. If another economic crisis were to occur, our business and results of operations will continue to be negatively impacted.

We face intense competition from other providers of business and financial information.

We compete with many providers of business and financial information, including other Internet companies, for consumers' and advertisers' attention and spending. Our primary competitors are Edgar Online, Inc. and The Street.com, Inc., both of which provide services similar to ours and each of which has a well-established market presence. These and other competitors have substantially greater capital, longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. These competitors may also engage in more extensive development of their technologies, adopt more comprehensive marketing and advertising campaigns than we can. Our competitors may develop products and service offerings that we do not offer or that are more sophisticated or more cost effective than our own. For these and other reasons, our competitors' products and services may achieve greater acceptance in the marketplace than our own, limiting our ability to gain market share and customer loyalty and to generate sufficient revenues to achieve a profitable level of operations. Our failure to adequately address any of the above factors could harm our business and operating results.

In addition, as the barriers to entry in our market segment are not substantial, an unlimited number of new competitors could emerge, thereby making our goal of establishing a market presence even more difficult. Because our management expects competition in our market segment to continue to intensify, there can be no assurances we will ever establish a competitive position in our market segment.

We continue to rely on a limited number of major customers for most of our revenues.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, sales to one of our customers, a debt settlement referral division customer, accounted for approximately 14% of our revenues. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, three of our customers accounted for 20%, 13%, and 12% of our revenues, respectively. The loss of any customer that accounts for a significant portion of our revenues from time to time, could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition due to the substantial decrease in revenue such loss would represent.

We may not be successful in marketing our new proprietary software.

In 2010, we expanded into the rapidly growing performance based software business through the formation of our new Cake Marketing Software Division. Our proprietary software streamlines the management of large scale online marketing campaigns for affiliate marketers and advertisers, while its unique ability to simplify online marketing efforts generates immediate cost saving for clients. The software is available for a monthly licensing fee to affiliate marketers, advertising agencies and corporations using a Software-as-a-Service or SaaS, model. We have invested a substantial amount of time and money in developing and launching our proprietary platform. There is no assurance that we will be successful in marketing this platform. In addition, various technical delays and malfunctions may result in additional expenses and difficulties.

We may not be successful in increasing our brand awareness.

Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to increase brand awareness of our websites. In order to build brand awareness, we must succeed in our marketing efforts, provide high quality services and increase traffic to our websites. There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve these goals.

We may not be successful in improving our existing products or in developing new products.

We have not yet completed development and testing of certain proposed new products and proposed enhancements to our systems, some of which are still in the planning stage or in relatively early stages of development. Our success will depend in part upon our ability to timely introduce new products into the marketplace. We must commit considerable time, effort and resources to complete development of our proposed products, service tools and product enhancements. Our product development efforts are subject to all of the risks inherent in the development of new products and technology, including unanticipated delays, expenses and difficulties, as well as the possible insufficiency of funding to complete development.

Our product development efforts may not be successfully completed. In addition, proposed products may not satisfactorily perform the functions for which they are designed, they may not meet applicable price or performance objectives and unanticipated technical or other problems may occur which result in increased costs or material delays in development. Despite testing by Accelerize and potential end users, problems may be found in new products, tools and services after the commencement of commercial delivery, resulting in loss of, or delay in, market acceptance and other potential damages.

We may not be successful in developing new and enhanced services and features for our websites.

Our market is characterized by rapidly changing technologies, evolving industry standards, frequent new product and service introductions and changing customer demands. To be successful, we must adapt to the rapidly changing market by continually enhancing our existing services and adding new services to address customers' changing demands. We could incur substantial costs if we need to modify our services or infrastructure to adapt to these changes. Our business could be adversely affected if we were to incur significant costs without generating related revenues or if we cannot adapt rapidly to these changes. Our business could also be adversely affected if we experience difficulties in introducing new or enhanced services or if these services are not favorably received by users. We may experience technical or other difficulties that could delay or prevent us from introducing new or enhanced services.

Our operations depend on third parties and our systems are susceptible to delays, failures and errors, which could adversely impact our operations and financial results.

Our operations depend on receipt of timely feeds from our content providers, and any failure or delay in the transmission or receipt of such feeds could disrupt our operations. We also depend on Web browsers, ISPs and online service providers to provide access over the Internet to our product and service offerings. Many of these providers have experienced significant outages or interruptions in the past, and could experience outages, delays and other difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our systems. These types of interruptions could continue or increase in the future.

Our digital distribution activities are managed by sophisticated software and computer systems. We must continually develop and update these systems over time as our business and business needs grow and change, and these systems may not adequately reflect the current needs of our business. We may encounter delays in developing these systems, and the systems may contain undetected errors that could cause system failures. Any system error or failure that causes interruption in availability of products or content or an increase in response time could result in a loss of potential or existing business services customers, users, advertisers or content providers. If we suffer sustained or repeated interruptions, our products, services and Web sites could be less attractive to such entities or individuals and our business could be harmed.

Our servers are currently hosted with Maximum ASP, Inc. in Louisville, Kentucky. Maximum ASP, Inc. handles the failover process we have put in place. We intend to notify them immediately of any outage and upon such notice they are assigned to immediately implement our failover strategy. We may not have adequate business interruption insurance to compensate us for losses that may occur from a system outage. Despite our efforts, our network infrastructure and systems could be subject to service interruptions or damage and any resulting interruption of services could harm our business, operating results and reputation.

Our future performance and success depend on our ability to retain our key personnel.

Our future performance and success is heavily dependent upon the continued active participation of our current senior management team, including, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Brian Ross, our General Counsel, Damon Stein and our Head of Lead Generation, Jeff McCollum. The loss of any of their services could have a material adverse effect on our business development and our ability to execute our growth strategy, resulting in loss of sales and a slower rate of growth. We do not maintain any "key person" life insurance for any of our employees.

We may be subject to infringement claims on proprietary rights of third parties for software and other content that we distribute or make available to our customers.

We may be liable or alleged to be liable to third parties for software and other content that we distribute or make available to our customers:

●	If the content or the performance of our services violates third party copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights; or

●	If our customers violate the intellectual property rights of others by providing content through our services.

Any alleged liability could harm our business by damaging our reputation, requiring us to incur legal expenses in defense, exposing us to awards of damages and costs including treble damages for willful infringement and diverting management's attention which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We cannot assure you that third parties will not claim infringement by us with respect to past, current, or future technologies. Participants in our markets may be increasingly subject to infringement claims as the number of services and competitors in our industry segment grows. In addition, these risks are difficult to quantify in light of the continuously evolving nature of laws and regulations governing the Internet. Any claim relating to proprietary rights, whether meritorious or not, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause service upgrade delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, and we cannot assure you that we will have adequate insurance coverage or that royalty or licensing agreements will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. Further, we plan to offer our services and applications to customers worldwide including customers in foreign countries that may offer less protection for our intellectual property than the United States. Our failure to protect against misappropriation of our intellectual property, or claims that we are infringing the intellectual property of third parties could have a negative effect on our business, revenues, financial condition and results of operations.

Dilutive securities may adversely impact our stock price.

As of March 22, 2010, the following securities issuable, convertible or exercisable into shares of our Common Stock were outstanding:

●	5,400,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the possible conversion of outstanding 10% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock;

●	11,662,500 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the possible conversion of outstanding 8% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock;

●	1,897,694 shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of PIK dividends by our 10% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock holders, or the Series A PIK Dividends;

●	1,870,324 shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of PIK dividends by our 8% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock holders, or the Series B PIK Dividends;

●	Warrants to purchase up to a total of 450,000 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $0.15 per share, or the TDRG Warrants;

●	Warrants to purchase up to a total of 719,422 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $0.15 per share, or the Series A Warrants;

●	Warrants to purchase up to a total of 3,199,375 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $0.35 per share, or the Series B Warrants;

●	Warrants to purchase up to a total of 2,350,000 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $0.35 per share with a cashless exercise feature, issued to holders of Series B Preferred Stock, who exercised their Series B Warrants;

●	Convertible Promissory Notes in a total principal amount of $530,000, which may be converted at the note holders' option at conversion prices ranging between $0.35 - $0.55 per share;

●	Convertible Promissory Notes in a total principal amount of $637,000, which may be converted at the note holders' option at conversion prices ranging between $0.35 - $0.55 per share;

●	Warrants to purchase up to a total of 583,500 shares of our Common Stock at prices ranging between $0.55 - $0.75 per share, issued in connection with convertible promissory notes;

●	Warrants to purchase up to a total of 1,426,250 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $0.65 per share, issued in connection with a private placement;

●	Warrants to purchase up to a total of 3,408,333 shares of our Common Stock at prices ranging between $0.50 - $0.55 per share, issued to various service providers; and

●	up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under our stock option plan.

These securities represent as of March 22, 2010, approximately 60% of our Common Stock on a fully diluted, as converted basis. The exercise of these options or warrants and the conversion of the preferred stock, both of which have fixed prices, may materially adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and will have a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.

Acquisitions of businesses and our failure to successfully integrate these businesses can disrupt our business, dilute your holdings in us and harm our financial condition and operating results.

In January 2007 we acquired substantially all of the assets of TDRG. We intend to pursue future strategic acquisitions of complementary companies, products or technologies using our available cash and stock. Such acquisitions could disrupt our business. In addition, your holdings in our company would be diluted if we issue equity securities in connection with any acquisition as we did with the TDRG acquisition when we issued approximately 18% of our then outstanding shares of Common Stock. Acquisitions involve numerous other risks, including:

●	problems combining the acquired operations, technologies or products;

●	unanticipated costs or liabilities;

●	diversion of management’s attention;

●	adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers;

●	risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience; and

●	potential loss of key employees, particularly those of the acquired organizations.

Further, products that we acquire from third parties often require significant expenditures of time and resources to upgrade and integrate with our existing product suite. If we fail to integrate acquired applications into our product offering in a timely manner, we may be unable to fully realize the expected benefits of the acquisition. We may not be able to successfully integrate any business, technologies or personnel that we have acquired or that we might acquire in the future, and this could harm our financial condition and operating results. For example, in January 2007, we acquired substantially all of the assets of TDRG, which provided debt-referral solutions and as of the end of 2008 we have discontinued this line of business.

Our internal control over financial reporting was not considered effective as of December 31, 2009 and may continue to be ineffective in the future, which could result in our financial statements being unreliable, government investigation or loss of investor confidence in our financial reports.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to furnish an annual report by our management assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by management. Management's report as of the end of 2009 identified several material weaknesses and concluded that we did not have effective internal control over financial reporting. Ineffective internal controls can result in errors or other problems in our financial statements. Even if material weaknesses identified do not cause our financial statements to be unreliable, if we continue to be unable to assert that our internal controls are effective, our investors could still lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline. Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could also result in investigation or sanctions by regulatory authorities.

In addition, our internal control over financial reporting has not yet been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. In the event that our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to rely on our internal controls in connection with their audit of our financial statements, and in the further event that they are unable to devise alternative procedures in order to satisfy themselves as to the material accuracy of our financial statements and related disclosures, it is possible that we would receive a qualified or an adverse audit opinion on those financial statements which could also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and our ability to secure additional financing as needed.

We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which, stockholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors' independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. We have not yet adopted some of these corporate governance measures and, since our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to do so. We have not adopted corporate governance measures such as an audit or other independent committees of our board of directors. We intend to expand our board membership to include additional independent directors and we may then seek to establish an audit and other committees of our board of directors. It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.

Government regulation could adversely affect our business prospects.

We do not know with certainty how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, debt-settlement, copyright and other intellectual property issues, taxation, illegal or obscene content, retransmission of media, personal privacy and data protection will apply to the Internet or to the distribution of multimedia and other proprietary content over the Internet. Most of these laws were adopted before the advent of the Internet and related technologies and therefore do not address the unique issues associated with the Internet and related technologies. Depending on how these laws developed and are interpreted by the judicial system, they could have the effect of:

●	Limiting the growth of the Internet;

●	Creating uncertainty in the marketplace that could reduce demand for our products and services;

●	Increasing our cost of doing business;

●	Exposing us to significant liabilities associated with content distributed or accessed through our products or services; or

●	Leading to increased product and applications development costs, or otherwise harm our business.

Because of this rapidly evolving and uncertain regulatory environment, both domestically and internationally, we cannot predict how existing or proposed laws and regulations might affect our business.

The limited market for our Common Stock will make our stock price more volatile. Therefore, you may have difficulty selling your shares.

The market for our Common Stock is limited and we cannot assure you that a larger market will ever be developed or maintained. Currently, our Common Stock is traded on the OTCBB. Securities traded on the OTCBB typically have low trading volumes. Market fluctuations and volatility, as well as general economic, market and political conditions, could reduce our market price. As a result, this may make it difficult or impossible for our shareholders to sell our Common Stock.

There are no restrictions on the sale of our outstanding Common Stock. Sales by existing shareholders may depress the share price of our Common Stock and may impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities when needed.

As of March 22, 2010 we had 30,430,816 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, of which 28,686,287 shares were freely tradable under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or registered for re-sale. The possibility that substantial amounts of outstanding Common Stock may be sold in the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Common Stock. This could negatively affect the market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities.

Our Common Stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC, and the trading market in our Common Stock is limited. This makes transactions in our Common Stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of your shares.

The SEC has adopted Rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires:

·	that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
·	the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

·	Obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
·	make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

·	sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
·	that the broker or dealer received a signed, written statement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in its market value.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

Item 2. Properties.

On January 27, 2004, we entered into a 3-year lease for a 2,769 square foot office facility in Los Angeles, California, which commenced on March 15, 2004. Under the terms of the lease, we are required to pay initial monthly base rent of $6,092. The base rent increased annually by 3%. On March 12, 2007, the lease was amended, extending the lease for another 3 years. Under the new terms of the lease, we are required to pay initial monthly base rent of $7,337, increasing annually by 4%. At December 31, 2009, we subleased the office facility in Los Angeles to two subtenants. The subleases require payments aggregating to $7,337 through June 2010. We do not intend to renew our lease upon expiration in 2010.

During January 2009, we entered into a lease for certain office space in Newport Beach, California, effective on February 1, 2009. Under the terms of the lease, we pay monthly base rent of $4,100. The lease is renewable every month.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

Revenues

Revenues primarily consist of fees generated from lead generation, sales and marketing of debt settlement referrals, and, to a lesser extent, from online advertising and other revenues generated from our online publishing group.

Our increase in lead generation revenues during the year ended December 31, 2009, when compared to the prior year is due primarily to an increase in the number of leads we sold.

Our decrease in debt solution revenues during the year ended December 31, 2009, when compared to the prior year is primarily due to our decision to cease operating our Debt Settlement Referral Division effective January 1, 2009. During 2010, we expect to continue to receive commissions for debt settlement solutions provided to past clients to a lesser extent.

Our increase in advertising and other services revenues during the year ended December 31, 2009 when compared to the prior year is due to the increased number of customers using our advertising and other services.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses primarily consist of consultant fees related to the marketing and enhancement of our websites, advertising, as well as other general and administrative expenses, such as payroll expenses, necessary to support our existing and anticipated growth in our revenues and legal and professional fees.

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2009 when compared with the prior year is primarily due to the following:

	·	a decrease in lead acquisition costs and sales acquisition costs of approximately $463,000; this decrease is primarily due to a concentrated effort by management to acquire leads of higher quality;
	·	a decrease in payroll expenses of approximately $714,000; this decrease is primarily due to the termination of a number of employees in September 2008, resulting from our decreased involvement in the sales and marketing of debt settlement solutions;
	·	a decrease in advertising expenses of approximately $932,000; this decrease is primarily due to the issuance of 2.5 million warrants to a marketing consultant during 2008, which did not occur in 2009;
	·	a decrease in warrant expense of approximately $1,148,000 resulting from the issuance of warrants in September 2008 to induce the exercise of Series B Preferred Stock warrants; offset by
	·	an increase in impairment of goodwill of approximately $622,000, resulting from our decision to cease operating our Debt Settlement Referral Division;

Interest

Interest expense consists of interest charges associated with the 10% and 12% notes payable issued in 2008 and 2009. The increase in interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2009 is primarily due to the increase in the weighted-average debt outstanding. During 2009, as compared to 2008, we issued notes payable aggregating an additional $637,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2009, our cash amounted to approximately $128,000 and our working deficit amounted to approximately $411,000. During the year ended December 31, 2009, cash decreased due to cash used in operating and investing activities, offset by cash provided by financing activities.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we used cash in our operating activities amounting to approximately $870,000. Our cash used in operating activities was comprised of our net loss of approximately $2,013,000 adjusted for the following:

	·	Fair value of options granted to employees, including modification of terms of approximately $344,000;
	·	Amortization of capitalized web development and discount on notes payable, and depreciation of fixed assets of approximately $314,000;
	·	Impairment of goodwill of approximately $622,000;
	·	Fair value of shares or warrants issued for services of $98,000; and
	·	Fair value of shares issued for interest payment of approximately $50,000.

Additionally, the following variations in operating assets and liabilities impacted our cash used in operating activities:

	·	Decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $47,000, resulting from a decrease in expenditures; and
	·	Decrease in deferred revenue of approximately $243,000, resulting from a decreased number of consumers successfully referred to debt settlement agencies.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we incurred website development costs of approximately $400 in connection with development and enhancement of our websites and capital expenditures of approximately $4,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we generated cash from financing activities of approximately $750,000, which primarily consisted of the proceeds from notes payable of $637,000, net proceeds from the issuance of common stock for cash of approximately $205,000 and proceeds from the exercise of warrants of approximately $24,000, offset by the payment of finder’s fees related to the issuance of notes payable of $63,700 and the repurchase of shares of common stock of $52,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, we used cash in our operating activities amounting to approximately $1,961,000. Our cash used in operating activities was comprised of our net loss of approximately $4,992,000 adjusted for the following:

	·	Fair value of options granted to employees of approximately $223,000;
	·	Amortization of capitalized web development and discount on notes payable, and depreciation of fixed assets of approximately $341,000;
	·	Amortization of deferred compensation of approximately $71,000;
	·	Fair value warrants issued of approximately $1,239,000;
	·	Fair value warrants issued pursuant to the TDRG acquisition of approximately $174,000; and
	·	Fair value of warrants issued for services of $910,000.

Additionally, the following variations in operating assets and liabilities impacted our cash used in operating activity:

	·	Increase in accounts receivable of approximately $127,000, resulting from increased lead generation revenues;
	·	Increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $228,000, resulting from increased marketing programs expenditures associated with increased acquisition of leads; and
	·	Increase in domain name rights of $25,000, resulting from the renewal of domain name rights.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, we incurred website development costs of approximately $51,000 in connection with development and enhancement of our websites and capital expenditures of approximately $10,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, we generated cash from financing activities of approximately $1,324,000, which primarily consisted of the proceeds from notes payable of $530,000 and proceeds from the exercise of warrants of approximately $822,000, offset by the payment to a former partner of TDRG of approximately $29,000.

Capital Raising Transactions

We have undertaken the following transactions to provide ourselves with working capital in the last two years:

Common Stock

From 2006 through December 31, 2008, we issued an aggregate of 27,184,854 shares of Common Stock to founders, consultants, investors, as PIK dividends on our Series A and Series B Preferred Stock and to the founders of TDRG.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we:

paid PIK dividends to our Series A and B preferred stock holders amounting to 1,327,241 shares of Common Stock, which were valued at $410,812;

First Convertible Promissory Note.

During 2008, we issued convertible promissory notes aggregating $530,000 to seven different stockholders. The notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and mature in March 2011. Interest is payable commencing June 1, 2008 and every quarter thereafter, until the obligations under the notes are satisfied. Principal and interest are payable either in cash or shares of our Common Stock as follows: (1) if the average closing price of the common stock on the last five trading days prior to the maturity date is $0.50 or more, then the lender may elect to have the principal paid in shares of common stock. In such case, the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the lender shall be determined by dividing the principal amount outstanding on the maturity date by $0.50, (2) if the average closing price of the common stock on the last five trading days prior to maturity date is less than $0.50, then the principal may only be paid in cash. The notes are convertible at the lower of the following rate: (i) $0.75 per share; (ii) the average of the closing price, as quoted on the OTC.BB for the last five trading days prior to conversion, but in no event less than $0.50 per share; or (iii) at the fair value of any Common Stock shares issued by us prior to the maturity date in connection with a new transaction, except for shares issued pursuant to our stock option plan.

We may prepay the notes at any time on or after July 30, 2008 but prior to the maturity date without any premium or penalty. In such case, the noteholder has the option to have the principal and accrued interest paid in cash or shares of our Common Stock. If the notes are paid in shares, the notes are convertible using the same rate as described above.

In addition, we issued to the lenders Common Stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 265,000 shares as described more fully above.

The interest and amortization expense associated with the notes payable amounted to $197,612 during the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $62,314 during the year ended December 31, 2008.

Second Convertible Promissory Note.

During 2009, we issued convertible promissory notes aggregating $637,000 to various persons. The notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum and mature in March 2012. Interest is payable commencing June 1, 2009 and every quarter thereafter, until the obligations under the notes are satisfied. Principal and interest are payable either in cash or shares of our Common Stock, at the noteholder’s option. At maturity, the principal is payable in cash or shares of our Common Stock as follows: (1) if the average closing price of the Common Stock on the last five trading days prior to the maturity date is $0.50 or more, then the lender may elect to have the principal paid in shares of common stock. In such case, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the lender shall be determined by dividing the principal amount outstanding on the maturity date by $0.50, (2) if the average closing price of the Common Stock on the last five trading days prior to maturity date is less than $0.50, then the principal may only be paid in cash. The notes are convertible at the lower of the following rate: (i) $0.50 per share; (ii) at the fair value of any Common Stock shares issued by us prior to the maturity date in connection with a new transaction, except for shares issued pursuant to our stock option plan.

We may prepay the notes at any time on or after July 30, 2009 but prior to the maturity date without any premium or penalty. In such case, the noteholder has the option to have the principal and accrued interest paid in cash or shares of our common stock. If the notes are paid in shares, the notes are convertible using the same rate as described above.

In addition, we issued to the lenders common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 318,500 shares, as described more fully above.

We used the cash proceeds from the offerings, the promissory notes and the line of credit advances to finance our ongoing operations, including, development, sales, marketing and support services.

The interest and amortization expense associated with the notes payable amounted to $108,968 during the year ended December 31, 2009.

In accordance with FASB ASC 740 Debt- Debt with Conversion Options, we recorded a beneficial conversion feature related to the First Convertible Promissory Notes and the Second Convertible Promissory Notes. Under the terms of these notes, the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was calculated assuming that the conversion date was the same as the issue date. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the beneficial conversion feature amounted to $194,703 and $179,450. This beneficial conversion feature is reflected in the accompanying financial statements as additional paid-in capital and corresponding debt discount.

Stock Options

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we granted to certain of our employees options to purchase 495,000 shares of Common Stock under the Accelerize New Media Stock Option Plan.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As of December 31, 2009, we have amended and extended by three additional years the employment agreements with two of our officers, Brian Ross and Damon Stein. The agreements are renewable for an additional two-year period at the option of the applicable officer. The aggregate compensation to be paid under such agreements amounts to $300,000 per year. If the employment or consulting arrangement is terminated without cause by us, we are under the obligation, subject to certain restrictions, to pay the greater of the amount remaining on the term or one-year compensation of $150,000, to the respective employee or consultant. If the employment or consulting arrangement is terminated with cause, we have no liability for further payments. In addition, on January 1, 2010, we entered into an employment agreement with Daniel Minton for a three-year term. The aggregate compensation paid thereunder is $100,000 per year. If the employment or consulting arrangement is terminated without cause by us, we are under the obligation, subject to certain restrictions, to pay the greater of the amount remaining on the term or one-year compensation of $100,000.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Website Development Costs

We have capitalized certain internal use software and website development costs amounting to approximately $400 and $51,000 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The estimated useful life of costs capitalized is evaluated for each specific project and ranges from one to three years.

We exercise judgment in estimating the useful life of costs capitalized, based on the complexity of the technical enhancements.

Share-Based Payment

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, or ASC 718, for all the stock awards granted after December 31, 2005, and granted prior to but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. See Note 7 in our footnotes for further information regarding our stock-based compensation assumptions and expenses. We elected to use the modified prospective transition method as permitted by ASC 718.

Effective January 1, 2006, we changed our method of attributing the value of stock-based compensation to expense from the accelerated multiple-option approach to the straight-line single option method. Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 will continue to be recognized using the accelerated multiple-option approach while compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted on or subsequent to January 1, 2006 has been and will continue to be recognized using the straight-line single-option approach.

We have elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton, or BSM, option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of our options, which incorporates various subjective assumptions including volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividend yield to calculate the fair value of stock option awards. Compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reflects estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

We exercise judgment in selecting benchmark companies for our expected volatility.

Going Concern

It is likely that we will need to raise additional working capital to fund our ongoing operations and growth. The amount of our future capital requirements depends primarily on the rate at which we increase our revenues and correspondingly decrease our use of cash to fund operations. Cash used for operations will be affected by numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, our ability to successfully market our products and services and the degree to which competitive products and services are introduced to the market. As long as our cash flow from operations remains insufficient to completely fund operations, we will continue depleting our financial resources and seeking additional capital through equity and/or debt financing. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of debt, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing stockholders will be reduced and those stockholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock.

There can be no assurance that acceptable financing to fund our ongoing operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern. In that event, we may be forced to cease operations and our stockholders could lose their entire investment in us.

Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based upon the evaluation conducted by management in connection with the audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described below. As a result of these material weaknesses, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2009, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

A material weakness is "a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected by us in a timely manner." A significant deficiency, is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the registrant’s financial reporting.

Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.

During our assessment of the design and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, management identified the following material weaknesses:

There is no documentation that the board of directors monitored or provided oversight responsibility related to financial reporting and related internal controls and considered its effectiveness;

While we have processes in place, there are no formal written policies and procedures related to certain financial reporting processes;

There is no formal documentation in which management specified financial reporting objectives to enable the identification of risks, including fraud risks;

We lacked the resources and personnel to implement proper segregation of duties or other risk mitigation systems.

We intend to gradually improve our internal control over financial reporting to the extent that we can allocate resources to such improvements. We intend to prioritize the design of our internal control over financial reporting starting with our control environment and risk assessments and ending with control activities, information and communication activities, and monitoring activities. Although we believe the time to adapt in the next year will help position us to provide improved internal control functions into the future, in the interim, these changes caused control deficiencies, which in the aggregate resulted in a material weakness. Due to the existence of these material weaknesses, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2009.

Auditor Attestation

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent 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

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires that our executive officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities file reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or 5 with the SEC. Such executive officers, directors and ten percent stockholders are also required by the SEC rules to furnish to us copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file. Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons that they were not required to file a Form 5, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, our executive officers, directors and ten percent stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to such persons.

The typical functions of such committees are currently being undertaken by the entire board as a whole.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct Ethics that applies to the registrant's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

Related Party Transactions

As part of Christopher Meredith's severance agreement, we paid an aggregate amount of $19,196 for Mr. Meredith's health insurance from April 30, 2009 through December 31, 2009.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors

Accelerize New Media, Inc.

Los Angeles, CA

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Accelerize New Media, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Accelerize New Media, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses as more fully described in Note 1. These issues 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 Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ACCELERIZE NEW MEDIA, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

Accelerize New Media, Inc., or the Company, a Delaware Corporation, incorporated on November 22, 2005, is an online based media and customer acquisition solutions provider.

The Company offers a comprehensive online media solution for clients to reach their target audience on the Internet. The Company provides lead generation and performance based customer acquisition solutions via the Company’s network of financial, news, and business networking portals, blogs, targeted e-mail, banners, search engine optimization, and co-registration opportunities. The Company primarily makes money from the following two lines of business: (1) Lead generation/Performance based marketing - Utilizing the Company’s internally designed and developed lead generation platform, the Company delivers buyers to sellers by providing vendors with opportunities to contact qualified and interested potential customers, and essentially crafting high-quality new-business leads for such vendors, and in return the Company receives fees. The Company’s current lead generation focus surrounds, but is not limited to, the industry of debt settlement, credit repair/reports, and tax settlements, and (2.) Online advertising – the Company’s financial content network is available over the Internet, and the Company’s revenues are generated through the sale of display advertisings, list management, targeted lead generation, and web consulting services.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has used net cash in its operating activities of approximately $870,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, to fund possible future acquisitions, and to generate profitable operations in the future. Management plans to continue to provide for its capital requirements by issuing additional equity securities and debt. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its business plan or generate positive operating results.

During December 2006, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire a substantial portion of the operating assets of The Debt Reduction Group, LLC, or DRG. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company in January 2007, the accounts receivable and substantially all intangible assets of DRG in consideration of issuing 3,500,000 shares of its common stock to the managing members of DRG, as well as granting up to 500,000 warrants to certain of DRG’s employees which may be earned based upon certain milestones related to target revenues and operating margins covering 18 months after closing. During October 2008, the Company determined that such DRG employees met certain performance targets and issued to them warrants to purchase 450,000 shares of common stock.

The acquisition of the operations of DRG was accounted for pursuant to the FASB ASC 805 Business Combinations, which provides that the assets and liabilities acquired and the equity interest issued are initially recognized at the date of acquisition and measured at the fair value of the net assets acquired and consideration exchanged. Additionally, ASC 805 provides that the results of operations of the acquired entity after the effective date of acquisition be consolidated in the results of operations of the acquirer.

The total aggregate purchase price of DRG amounted to $729,652, which consisted of (i) 3,500,000 shares of common stock issued in 2007 and 2008, and valued at an aggregate of $210,000, and (i) assumption of $519,652 of liabilities. The purchase price has been allocated as follows:

	Amount
Accounts receivable	$	12,036
Property and equipment		32,069
Goodwill		685,547
Total Purchase Price	$	729,652

The fair value of the shares issued in 2007 pursuant to this transaction was based on a valuation of the Company’s shares prepared by an independent valuation specialist, using the discounted cash flow approach.

The fair value of the shares issued in 2008 pursuant to this transaction was based on the fair value of the shares as quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board on the Company’s first day of trading.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results will differ from those estimates.

F-7

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risks

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily from cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents accounts are held at financial institutions and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, up to $250,000. During the year ending December 31, 2009, the Company has reached bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company periodically evaluates the credit quality of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits.

The Company's accounts receivable are due from a few customers, all located in the United States. Two of the Company’s customers accounted for 13% and 19% of its accounts receivables at December 31, 2009. Three of the customers accounted for 24%, 15%, and 11% of its accounts receivables at December 31, 2008.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of three years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Property and equipment consists of the following:

	December 31, 2009			December 31, 2008
Computer equipment and software	$	15,509		$	11,358
Phone equipment		19,155			19,155
Office furniture and equipment		11,450			11,450
		46,114			41,963
Accumulated depreciation		(39,224	)		(24,436	)
	$	6,890		$	17,527

Depreciation expense amounted to approximately $14,778 and $13,747 during fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC 605-10-S99-Revenue Recognition-Overall-SEC Materials. Revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

The Company’s online advertising revenues are generated from the pay-per-click, cost-per-action listings, and banner ad sales of its portfolio of web sites. When an online user navigates to one of the Company’s owned and operated Websites and clicks and or visits on a particular listing/web page or completes the specified action, the Company receives a fee.

The Company’s lead generation network revenues are primarily generated using third-party distribution networks to deliver the merchant advertisers’ listings. The distribution network includes search engines, shopping engines, directories, destination sites, Internet domains or Web sites, and other targeted Web-based content. The Company generates revenue upon delivery of a qualified lead to the Company’s merchant advertisers or partner. Other revenues include the Company’s lead generation web services, paid search optimization, landing page development services, and creative design.

Since January 1, 2007, the Company generates a substantial portion of its revenues from fees earned from the sale and marketing of debt reduction solutions offered to consumers by debt settlement agencies. The consumers generally enter in a debt solution program with a debt settlement agency which provides for monthly payments by the consumers over a period of up to 3 years. The commission earned by the Company will vary between 7.5% and 8.9% of the total debt of the consumer to be negotiated by the respective debt settlement agency. For consumers enrolled prior to March 1, 2007 the Company receives its fees from debt settlement agencies upon payment by consumers to the debt settlement agencies within the first 8 months of the debt solution program, assuming that all consumers make all their payments. This payment was subject to a partial refund by the Company to the debt settlement agencies if: 1) the debt settlement agency does not receive all scheduled monthly payments for the duration of the contract during the first 15 months of such contract, or 2) the debt settlement agencies issue a refund to the consumer over the term of the respective contract. For consumers enrolled since March 1, 2007, the Company receives its fee from debt settlement agencies upon payment by consumers to the debt settlement agencies within the first 18 months of the debt solution program, assuming that all consumers make all their payments. Accordingly, the fee earned by the Company is recognized over the terms of the underlying contract between the debt settlement agencies and the consumer, which is generally 3 years. Consequently, the Company defers the fees received from the debt settlement agency in excess of the revenues recognized over the term of the underlying contract between the debt settlement agencies and the consumer. Such excess amounted to approximately $424,000 and $667,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and is recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.

F-8

Since September 2007, the payment to the Company is subject to a partial refund only if a debt settlement agency issues a refund to the consumer over the term of the respective contract.

The Company ceased operating its Debt Settlement Referral Division effective January 1, 2009. During 2010 it will continue to receive commissions for debt settlement solutions provided to clients.

Customer Concentration

One of the Company's customers accounted for approximately 14% of its revenues during the year ending December 31, 2009. Three of the Company’s customers accounted for 20%, 13%, and 12% of the Company’s revenue during the year ending December 31, 2008.

Product Concentration

The Company offers online media solutions for U.S. based businesses to reach their target audience on the Internet. The Company provides lead generation and performance based customer acquisition solutions via Internet marketing communications offerings, such as portals, blogs, and search engine optimization. The Company’s primary revenue sources are as follows: (1) Lead generation/Performance based marketing - utilizing the Company’s internally designed and developed lead generation platform, the Company delivers information to sellers by providing vendors with opportunities to contact qualified and interested potential customers, and new-business leads for such vendors, and in return the Company receives fees, and (2) Online advertising – the Company’s financial content network is available over the Internet, and the Company’s revenues are generated through the sale of display advertisings, list management, targeted lead generation, and web consulting services. The Company’s current lead generation focus surrounds, but is not limited to, the industry of debt settlement, credit repair/reports, and tax settlements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.

ASC 820 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 at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

Level 1:	Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2:	Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
Level 3:	Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The Company did not have any Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, with the exception of its convertible promissory notes. The carrying amount of the convertible promissory notes at December 31, 2009 and 2008, approximate their respective fair value based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

Cash and cash equivalents include money market securities that are considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy.

In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 Fair Value Option was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments.

F-9

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense amounted to $192,325 and $1,037,145 during the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Website Development Costs

The Company has capitalized certain internal use software and website development costs amounting to approximately $400 and $51,000 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The estimated useful life of costs capitalized is evaluated for each specific project and ranges from one to three years.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized, but no less than quarterly.

Share-Based Payment

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) for all the stock awards granted after December 31, 2005, and granted prior to but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. See Note 7 for further information regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation assumptions and expenses. The Company elected to use the modified prospective transition method as permitted by ASC 718.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company changed its method of attributing the value of stock-based compensation to expense from the accelerated multiple-option approach to the straight-line single option method. Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 will continue to be recognized using the accelerated multiple-option approach while compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted on or subsequent to January 1, 2006 has been and will continue to be recognized using the straight-line single-option approach.

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its options, which incorporates various subjective assumptions including volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividend yield to calculate the fair value of stock option awards. Compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reflects estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting

The Company generates revenues from the following sources: (1) Lead generation/Performance based marketing - utilizing the Company’s internally designed and developed lead generation platform, the Company delivers information to sellers by providing vendors with opportunities to contact qualified and interested potential customers, and new-business leads for such vendors, and in return the Company receives fees, and (2) Online advertising – the Company’s financial content network is available over the Internet, and the Company’s revenues are generated through the sale of display advertisings, list management, targeted lead generation, and web consulting services.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance for amendments to FASB Emerging Issues Task Force on EITF Issue No. 09-1 “ Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of a Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing” ( Subtopic 470-20 ) “Subtopic”. This accounting standards update establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements under which own-share lending arrangements issued in contemplation of convertible debt issuance.

This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2009. Earlier adoption is not permitted. Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified-treasury stock method). The outstanding options and warrants amounted to 18,898,130 at December 31, 2009, and have been excluded from the earnings per share computation due to their anti-dilutive effect.

F-10

The following sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008:

	For the years ending
	December 31,
	2009			2008
Numerator:
Net loss attributable to common stock	$	(2,424,296	)	$	(5,406,802	)

Denominator:
Denominator for basic earnings per share-
Weighted average shares outstanding		27,712,414			25,220,571
Denominator for diluted earnings per share-
Weighted average shares outstanding		27,712,414			25,220,571

Basic earnings per share	$	(0.09	)	$	(0.21	)
Diluted earnings per share	$	(0.09	)	$	(0.21	)

NOTE 3: PREPAID EXPENSES

At December 31, 2009, the prepaid expenses consisted primarily of prepaid placement agent fees.

NOTE 4: DOMAIN NAME RIGHTS

During 2009, the Company renewed the domain name rights for $25,000 for an additional year. The Company recognized amortization expense of $24,863 and $167,329 in connection with the domain name rights during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE 5: WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Website development costs, net of accumulated amortization are as follows:

	December 31,			December 31,
	2009			2008
Website development costs	$	346,850		$	346,485
Less: accumulated amortization		(273,809	)		(206,410	)
Website development costs, net	$	73,041		$	140,075

During 2008, the Company wrote off fully amortized capitalized web development costs amounting to $141,546. Amortization expense of the website development costs amounted to $67,399 and $138,545 during the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The website development costs, net, as of December 31, 2009 will be amortized over the future periods as follows:

2010	$	69,130
2011		3,895
2012		16
	$	73,041

NOTE 6: GOODWILL

At December 31, 2009, the Company wrote-down the value of its goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. ASC 350-30-35-4 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. The Company wrote-down approximately $622,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009.

F-11

NOTE 7: CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued convertible promissory notes aggregating $530,000 to certain stockholders. The notes bear interest at 10% per annum. Accrued interest may be payable, at the noteholder’s option, in cash or in shares of common stock. If the accrued interest is paid in shares of common stock, the number of shares issuable to satisfy the accrued interest is primarily based on the closing price, as quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) of the trading day immediately prior to the interest payment date. The interest is payable commencing June 1, 2008 and every quarter thereafter, until the obligations under the convertible promissory notes are satisfied. The convertible promissory notes are due ranging from March 15, 2011 to March 31, 2011. Effective May 29, 2009, on the maturity date, the lender has the option of having the note paid in cash or shares of common stock as follows: 1) if the average closing price of the common stock on the last five trading days prior to the maturity date is $0.50 or more, then the lender may elect to have the principal paid in shares of common stock. In such case, the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the lender shall be determined by dividing the principal amount outstanding on the maturity date by $0.50, 2) if the average closing price of the common stock on the last five trading days prior to maturity date is less than $0.50, then the principal may only be paid in cash. The Company may prepay the convertible promissory notes without premium. Each noteholder may convert, at his option, the outstanding principal of the convertible promissory note, after July 30, 2008 and prior to maturity at the lesser of: 1) $0.75 or 2) the average closing price of the Company’s common stock, but in no event less than $0.50, or 3) the effective price per share of a subsequent financing of the Company occurring prior to March 2011.

If the accrued interest is paid in shares of common stock, the number of shares issuable to satisfy the accrued interest is primarily based on the closing price, as quoted on the OTCBB of the trading day immediately prior to the interest payment date. The interest is payable commencing June 1, 2009 and every quarter thereafter, until the obligations under the convertible promissory notes are satisfied. The maturity dates of the convertible promissory notes range from February to April 2012. Effective May 29, 2009, on the maturity date, the lender has the option of having the note prepaid in cash or share of common stock as follows: 1) if the average closing price of the common stock on the last five trading days prior to the maturity date is $0.50 or more, then the lender may elect to have the principal paid in shares of common stock. In such case, the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the lender shall be determined by dividing the principal amount outstanding on the maturity date by $0.50, 2) if the average closing price of the common stock on the last five trading days prior to maturity date is less than $0.50, then the principal may only be paid in cash. The Company may prepay the convertible promissory notes without premium.

In accordance with FASB ASC 740 Debt- Debt with Conversion Options, the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature related to the Convertible promissory notes. Under the terms of these notes, the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was calculated assuming that the conversion date was the same as the issue date. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the beneficial conversion feature amounted to $194,703 and $179,450. This beneficial conversion feature is reflected in the accompanying financial statements as additional paid-in capital and corresponding debt discount.

The interest and amortization expense associated with the notes payable amounted to $306,580 and $62,314 during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The unamortized debt discount amounted to $174,154 at December 31, 2009.

During February 2009, the Company reduced the exercise price of the 10% convertible promissory notes from $0.75 to $0.55. As a result, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature in excess of that previously recognized, which amounted to $11,192. The revised beneficial conversion feature is partly based on the following assumptions for the valuation of warrants associated with the convertible promissory notes, using Black Scholes Model: term: 4.1 to 4.3 years; exercise price: $0.55 to $0.75; risk-free interest rate: 1.99%; expected volatility: 62.10%; market value: $0.31. The expected volatility of the beneficial conversion features was based on the average historical volatility of comparable publicly-traded companies. Associated with the convertible notes payable issued during the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company paid finder’s fees of $63,700 that were deferred and amortized over the period of the loans.
