NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rim Semiconductor Company (“Rim Semi”) and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, NV Entertainment, Inc. (“NV Entertainment”) (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates its 50% owned subsidiary Top Secret Productions, LLC due to the Company’s control of management and financial matters of such entity, including all of the risk of loss. Top Secret Productions, LLC is a 50% owned subsidiary of NV Entertainment.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes related thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006.

These results for the three months ended January 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Rim Semiconductor Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on December 5, 1985. In November of 1999, the Company began to focus its business activities on the development of new semiconductor technologies. Pursuant to such plan, in February of 2000, the Company acquired NV Technology, Inc. and commenced its technology business. The Company’s technology business has generated no revenues to date.

The Company operates in two business segments, the production of motion pictures, films and videos (Entertainment Segment) and development of new semiconductor technologies (Semiconductor Segment). The Company’s Entertainment Segment is dependent on future revenues from the Company’s film “Step Into Liquid” (“Film”). The Semiconductor Segment is dependent on the Company’s ability to successfully commercialize its developed technology.

Through its subsidiary NV Entertainment the Company has had operating revenues for its Entertainment Segment, but may continue to report operating losses for this segment. The Semiconductor Segment will have no operating revenues until successful commercialization of its developed technology, but will continue to incur substantial operating expenses, capitalized costs and operating losses.

Liquidity Discussion

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company has significant recurring operating losses, used substantial funds in its operations, and needs to raise additional funds to accomplish its business plan. For the three months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $7.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and as of January 31, 2007 has a working capital deficiency of approximately $8.8 million. In addition, management believes that the Company will continue to incur net losses and cash flow deficiencies from operating activities through at least January 31, 2008.

In January 2007, an institutional investor that had previously invested in the Company committed to purchase $6 million of convertible debentures upon the Company’s request. Management believes that the net proceeds from this financing, together with the approximately $687,000 in cash and short-term investments as of January 31, 2007, is sufficient to fund the planned expenditures through at least January 31, 2008.

NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Liquidity Discussion (Continued)

Management of the Company is continuing its efforts to secure additional funds through equity and/or debt instruments to fund ongoing operations. After January 31, 2008, the Company may require additional funds for its operations and to pay down its liabilities, as well as finance its expansion plans consistent with its business plan. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional funds and that if such funds are available, whether the terms or conditions would be acceptable to the Company.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance 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, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Significant estimates include impairment analysis for long-lived assets, the individual-film-forecast computation method, income taxes, litigation and valuation of derivative instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments as of January 31, 2007 consisted of a certificate of deposit in the amount of $500,000, acquired June 2, 2006, and which matured on February 28, 2007. The certificate of deposit earned interest at the rate of 3.54% per annum.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its semiconductor products when evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is determinable or fixed, legal title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, which is generally upon shipment of our products to our customers, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. To date the Company has not recognized any revenues related to the sale of its semiconductor products.

The Company recognizes film revenue from the distribution of its feature film and related products when earned and reasonably estimable in accordance with Statement of Position 00-2, “Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films” (“SOP 00-2”). The following conditions must be met in order to recognize revenue in accordance with SOP 00-2:

o	persuasive evidence of a sale or licensing arrangement with a customer exists;

o	the film is complete and, in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, has been delivered or is available for immediate and unconditional delivery;

o	the license period of the arrangement has begun and the customer can begin its exploitation, exhibition or sale;

o	the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable; and

o	collection of the arrangement fee is reasonably assured.

Under a rights Agreement with Lions Gate Entertainment (“LGE”) the domestic distributor for its Film entitled “Step Into Liquid,” the Company shares with LGE in the profits of the Film after LGE recovers its marketing, distribution and other predefined costs and fees. The agreement provides for the payment of minimum guaranteed license fees, usually payable on delivery of the respective completed film, that are subject to further increase based on the actual distribution results in the respective territory.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Amounts allocated to acquired-in-process research and development costs, from business combinations, are charged to operations at the consummation of the acquisition.

Research and development expenses relate to the design and development of advanced transmission technology products. In the past, the Company has outsourced its design and development activities to independent third parties, although it is not currently doing so. Internal development costs and payments made to independent software developers under development agreements are capitalized to software development costs once technological feasibility is established or if the development costs have an alternative future use. Prior to establishing technological feasibility, development costs and payments made are expensed to research and development costs. Technological feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-product basis.

Research and development expenses generally consist of salaries, related expenses for engineering personnel and third-party development costs incurred.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

Capitalization of computer software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility. Technological feasibility for the Company’s computer software is generally based upon achievement of a detail program design free of high-risk development issues and the completion of research and development on the product hardware in which it is to be used. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized computer software development costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenue, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware technology.

Amortization of capitalized computer software development costs commences when the related products become available for general release to customers. Amortization is provided on a product-by-product basis. The annual amortization is the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross revenue for a product bears to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenue for that product, or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product. The estimated useful life of the Company’s existing product is seven years.

The Company periodically performs reviews of the recoverability of such capitalized software development costs. At the time a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, the capitalized cost of each software product is then valued at the lower of its remaining unamortized costs or net realizable value.

Derivative Financial Instruments

In connection with the issuance of certain convertible debentures (see Note 8), the terms of the debentures included an embedded conversion feature which provided for a conversion of the debentures into shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate which was determined to be variable. The Company determined that the conversion feature was an embedded derivative instrument and that the conversion option was an embedded put option pursuant to SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.”

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Derivative Financial Instruments (Continued)

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the conversion option and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the convertible debenture agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. In addition, under the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-19, as a result of entering into the convertible debenture agreements, the Company was required to classify all other non-employee warrants and options as derivative liabilities and record them at their fair values at each balance sheet date. Any change in fair value was recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date. If the fair value of the derivatives was higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives was lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded non-operating, non-cash income. The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification required under EITF Issue No. 00-19 changes as a result of events during the period, the contract should be reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

The fair value of derivative financial instruments was estimated during the three months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006 using the Black-Scholes model and the following range of assumptions:

	January 31, 2007		January 31, 2006
Expected dividends	None		None

Expected volatility	79.7 - 136.9	%	95.3 - 135.1	%

Risk-free interest rate	4.8 - 5.2	%	4.3 - 4.6	%

Contractual term (years)	0.7 - 9.5		0.6 - 2.6

The expected volatility is based on a blend of the Company’s industry peer group and the Company’s historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the term of the related stock options and warrants. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The expected life of stock options and warrants represents the Company’s historical experience with regards to the exercise behavior of its option and warrant holders and the contractual term of the options and warrants.

Loss Per Common Share

Basic loss per common share is computed based on weighted average shares outstanding and excludes any potential dilution. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of all dilutive securities into common stock based on the average market price of common shares outstanding during the period.

For the three months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, no effect has been given to outstanding options, warrants, convertible notes payable, or convertible debentures in the diluted computation, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company reports stock based compensation under accounting guidance provided by SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock options, based on estimated fair values.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Under the intrinsic value method, no stock-based compensation expense for employee stock options had been recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations because the exercise price of the Company’s stock options granted to employees and directors equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant.

SFAS 123(R) also requires that the cash retained as a result of the tax deductibility of the increase in the value of share-based arrangements be presented as a component of cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), such amounts were required to be presented as a component of cash flows from operating activities. Due to the Company’s tax net operating loss position, the Company does not realize cash savings as a result of the tax deduction for stock-based compensation. Accordingly, the adoption SFAS 123(R) had no effect on the Company’s cash flows from operating or financing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2007.

The Company has continued to attribute the value of stock-based compensation to expense on the straight-line single option method.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) related to employee stock options was $110,765 and $69,037 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Stock-based-compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of October 31, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 was $247,057 for the three months ended January 31, 2006.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized for non-employees under other accounting standards was $384,054 and $22,908 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2007 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for financial impairment, and continues to evaluate them as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with them. At the time such evaluations indicate that the future undiscounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair values.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassification did not have any effect on reported net (losses) income for any periods presented.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) published SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB No. 3” (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 establishes new standards on accounting for changes in accounting principles. Pursuant to the new rules, all such changes must be accounted for by retrospective application to the financial statements of prior periods unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS 154 completely replaces Accounting Principles Bulletin No. 20 and SFAS 3, though it carries forward the guidance in those pronouncements with respect to accounting for changes in estimates, changes in the reporting entity, and the correction of errors. The requirements in SFAS 154 are effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company adopted SFAS 154 as of November 1, 2006. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS 155”). SFAS 155 resolves issues addressed in SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” The requirements in SFAS 155 are effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company adopted SFAS 155 as of November 1, 2006. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation establishes for all entities a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of tax positions, and requires certain expanded disclosures. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2006, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the application of the Interpretation to its financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009, with earlier application encouraged. Any cumulative effect will be recorded as an adjustment to the opening accumulated deficit balance, or other appropriate component of equity. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulleting (“SAB”) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 was issued in order to reduce the diversity in practice in how public companies quantify misstatements of financial statements, including misstatements that were not material to prior years’ financial statements. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal year 2007. The Company adopted SAB 108 as of November 1, 2006. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. Generally accepted accounting principles have required different measurement attributes for different assets and liabilities that can create artificial volatility in earnings. The FASB has indicated it believes that SFAS 159 helps to mitigate this type of accounting-induced volatility by enabling companies to report related assets and liabilities at fair value, which would likely reduce the need for companies to comply with detailed rules for hedge accounting. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Continued)

SFAS 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements included in SFAS 157 and SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” SFAS 159 is effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. The Company has not yet determined the impact SFAS 159 may have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In December 2006, the FASB approved FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 00-19-2, “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements” (“FSP EITF 00-19-2”), which specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”. FSP EITF 00-19-2 also requires additional disclosure regarding the nature of any registration payment arrangements, alternative settlement methods, the maximum potential amount of consideration and the current carrying amount of the liability, if any. The guidance in FSP EITF 00-19-2 amends FASB Statements No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, and FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others”, to include scope exceptions for registration payment arrangements.

FSP EITF 00-19-2 is effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the financial instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered into or modified subsequent to the issuance date of this FSP, or for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for registration payment arrangements entered into prior to the issuance date of this FSP. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

No assurance can be given that products the Company releases based upon the licensed technology and capitalized software costs will receive market acceptance. If the Company determines in the future that the capitalized costs are not recoverable, the carrying amount of the technology license would be reduced, and such reduction could be material.

NOTE 5 - FILM IN DISTRIBUTION

For all the above convertible notes, the fair values of the conversion options as of January 31, 2007 were nominal due to the conversion price being substantially out-of-the money.

NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

2006 Debentures

On March 10, 2006, the Company raised gross proceeds of $6.0 million from a private placement to 17 institutional and individual investors (the “Investors”) of its two-year 7% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “2006 Debentures”).

In connection with the issuance of the 2006 Debentures, the Company issued to the Investors warrants to purchase 70,955,548 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share valued at $9,036,727 on the issuance date (subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, mergers, spin-offs, and certain other transactions). The warrants are exercisable until the last day of the month in which the third anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement registering the shares underlying the warrants occurs (August 31, 2009).

The 2006 Debentures are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price for any such conversion equal to the lower of (x) 70% of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock for the 20 days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the conversion date or (y) if the Company enters into certain financing transactions, the lowest purchase price or conversion price applicable to that transaction. The conversion price is subject to adjustment.

Interest on the 2006 Debentures accrues at the rate of 7% per annum, payable upon conversion, or semi-annually (June 30 and December 31 of each year) or upon maturity, whichever occurs first, and will continue to accrue until the 2006 Debentures are fully converted and/or paid in full. Interest is payable, at the option of the Company, either (i) in cash, or (ii) in shares of common stock at the then applicable conversion price.

To secure the Company’s obligations under the 2006 Debentures, the Company has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets, including without limitation, its intellectual property, in favor of the Investors. The security interest terminates upon the earlier of (i) the date on which less than one-fourth of the original principal amount of the 2006 Debentures issued on the Closing Date are outstanding or (ii) payment or satisfaction of all of the Company’s obligations under the related securities purchase agreement. During the three months ended January 31, 2007, condition (i) was met and therefore the security interest terminated.

The Company agreed to include the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2006 Debentures and exercise of the related warrants issued to investors and the placement agent in a registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Since the registration statement was not declared effective by the SEC by June 23, 2006, the Company is obligated to pay liquidated damages to the holders of the 2006 Debentures. A registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2006 Debentures and the related warrants issued to investors and the placement agent was declared effective by the SEC on August 16, 2006. These liquidated damages aggregated $212,000. At their option, the holders of the 2006 Debentures are entitled to be paid such amount in cash or shares of restricted common stock at a per share rate equal to the effective conversion price of the 2006 Debentures at the time the liquidated damages became due. During the three months ended January 31, 2007, 464,535 shares of common stock valued at $68,547 were issued as payment for liquidated damages. Accrued liquidated damages as of January 31, 2007 was $143,453.

NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES (CONTINUED)

2006 Debentures (Continued)

In connection with the placement of the 2006 Debentures, a placement agent received a placement agent fee equal to (i) 10% of the aggregate purchase price (i.e., $600,000), (ii) 10% of the proceeds realized in the future from exercise of warrants issued to the Investors, (iii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,095,556 shares of common stock having an initial exercise price equal to $0.1693 per share valued at $888,779 on the issuance date, and (iv) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,095,556 shares of common stock having an initial exercise price equal to $0.15 per share valued at $903,673 on the issuance date. The exercise price of the placement agent warrants is subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, mergers, spin-offs, and certain other transactions.

The aggregate fair value of the placement agent’s warrants of $1,792,452 on the issuance date was recorded as a deferred financing cost and is being charged to interest expense over the term of the 2006 Debentures.

The gross proceeds of $6,000,000 was recorded as a liability net of a debt discount of $6,000,000 consisting of an allocation of the fair values attributed to the Investors’ warrants and to the embedded conversion feature in accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-19. The debt discount consisted of a $3,428,571 value related to the Investors’ warrants and a value attributed to the embedded conversion feature of $2,571,429. The debt discount was first allocated to the embedded conversion feature based on its fair value. After reducing the gross proceeds by the value allocated to the embedded conversion feature, the remaining unallocated debt discount of $3,428,571 was allocated to the Investors’ warrants. The excess of the fair value of the Investors’ warrants above the debt discount allocated to the Investors’ warrants was $5,608,156 and was charged to interest expense during the three months ended April 30, 2006.

In accordance with SFAS No. 133 and EITF Issue No. 00-19, due to the possibility that an indeterminate number of shares could be issued upon conversion of the 2006 Debentures, the Company separately values and accounts for the embedded conversion feature related to the 2006 Debentures, the Investors’ warrants and the placement agent’s warrants.

As of January 31, 2007, the conversion option liability of $2,571,429 had been reduced to $283,714 as a result of conversions of the 2006 Debentures. During the three months ended January 31, 2007, $1,684,715 was recorded as a reclassification to stockholders’ equity. Since the issuance of the 2006 Debentures, an aggregate of $2,287,715 has been recorded as a reclassification to stockholders’ equity.

A loss on the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $1,141,503 was recognized during the three months ended January 31, 2007.

During the three months ended January 31, 2007, $3,931,000 of principal amount of 2006 Debentures plus accrued interest of $136,911 were converted into 56,376,123 shares of common stock.

Included in interest expense for the three months ended January 31, 2007 is $2,750,588 related to the amortization of the debt discount on these debentures.

The 2006 Debentures are summarized below as of January 31, 2007:

		Outstanding Principal Amount			Unamortized Debt Discount			Net Carrying Value
Long-term portion		$	662,000		$	365,866		$	296,134

2005 Debentures

On May 26, 2005, the Company completed a private placement to certain individual and institutional investors of $3,500,000 in principal amount of its three-year 7% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “2005 Debentures”). All principal is due and payable on May 26, 2008. The 2005 Debentures are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (x) 70% of the 5 day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to conversion or (y) if the Company entered into certain financing transactions subsequent to the closing date, the lowest purchase price or conversion price applicable to that transaction.

2005 Debentures (Continued)

Interest on the 2005 Debentures accrues at the rate of 7% per annum and is payable on a bi-annual basis, commencing December 31, 2005, or on conversion and may be paid, at the option of the Company, either in cash or in shares of common stock. The Company may prepay the amounts outstanding on the 2005 Debentures by giving advance notice and paying an amount equal to 120% of the sum of (x) the principal being prepaid plus (y) the accrued interest thereon.

In connection with the issuance of the 2005 Debentures, the Company issued to the purchasers thereof warrants (the “Investor Warrants”) to purchase 33,936,650 shares of common stock valued at $2,000,000 on the issuance date, with warrants for 11,312,220 shares being exercisable through the last day of the month in which the first anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement occurs (August 31, 2006) at a per share exercise price of $0.1547 and warrants for 22,624,430 shares being exercisable through the last day of the month in which the third anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement occurs (August 31, 2008) at a per share exercise price of $0.3094.

In connection with the issuance of the 2005 Debentures, the Company also issued to a placement agent warrants to purchase up to 5,656,108 shares of Common Stock (the “Compensation Warrants”) valued at $319,066 on the issuance date. This amount was recorded as a deferred financing cost and is being charged to interest expense over the term of the 2005 Debentures. All of the Compensation Warrants were exercised in February 2006 in connection with the Warrant Amendment discussed below.

On February 21, 2006, the Company and certain holders of Investor and Compensation Warrants entered into an amendment (the “Warrant Amendment”) to the terms of their warrants. Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, the Company and certain holders of the Investor and Compensation Warrants agreed to temporarily reduce the exercise price of the Investor and Compensation Warrants to $0.05 per share from February 21, 2006 until March 10, 2006 (the “New Price Exercise Period”). The warrant holders that are parties to the Warrant Amendment were permitted, but not required to, exercise all or any portion of their Investor and Compensation Warrants at a per share price of $0.05 at any time during the New Price Exercise Period, but could not do so by means of a cashless exercise. This reduction in the exercise price of the Investor and Compensation Warrants expired on March 10, 2006. During the New Price Exercise Period, holders of the Investor and Compensation Warrants exercised warrants to purchase 11,370,624 shares of common stock at the reduced exercise price of $0.05 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $568,531. Except as expressly provided in the Warrant Amendment, the terms and conditions of the Investor and Compensation Warrants and any related registration rights agreement shall be unchanged and remain in full force and effect. In addition, the warrant holders agreed to waive any claims arising out of or relating to the failure, if any, to have available registered Warrant Shares, as defined in the Investor and Compensation Warrants, prior to June 23, 2006.

The Company agreed to include the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of each Investor or Compensation Warrant (whether or not pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Amendment) in a registration statement to be filed by the Company with the SEC. The common stock underlying the Investor and Compensation Warrants were included in the registration statement declared effective by the SEC on August 16, 2006.

Holders of the Investor Warrants are entitled to exercise those warrants on a cashless basis following the first anniversary of issuance if the Registration Statement is not in effect at the time of exercise.

The gross proceeds of $3,500,000 was recorded net of a debt discount of $3,500,000. The debt discount consisted of a $2,000,000 value related to the Investor Warrants and a $1,500,000 value related to the embedded conversion feature in accordance with SFAS No. 133 and EITF Issue No. 00-19. Due to the possibility that an indeterminate number of shares could be issued upon conversion of the 2005 Debentures, the Company separately values and accounts for the embedded conversion feature related to the 2005 Debentures and the Investor Warrants as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, these derivative liabilities are measured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings as long as they remain classified as liabilities.

OVERVIEW

Rim Semiconductor Company (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is developing advanced transmission technology products to enable data to be transmitted across copper telephone wire at speeds and over distances that exceed those offered by leading DSL technology providers. In September 2005, the Company changed its name from New Visual Corporation to Rim Semiconductor Company. Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol RSMI. Our corporate headquarters are located at 305 NE 102nd Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97220 and our telephone number is (503) 257-6700.

Our initial chipset in a planned family of transport processors, the Cupria™ Cu5001 (formerly known as Embarq™ E30) digital signal processor, was first shown to several prospective customers during the first fiscal quarter of 2006. In the third fiscal quarter of 2006, we initiated a technical cooperation program with Embarq Corporation of Overland Park, Kansas that will evaluate the potential application of our integrated circuits in Embarq’s data network. As part of this program, we and Embarq are working with suppliers to develop prototype network elements like digital subscriber line access multiplexers and consumer modems that utilize our chipset. If such prototypes are developed and subsequent lab evaluations are deemed successful, Embarq has agreed to conduct a field trial of our Cupria™ family of semiconductors and to share its observations from the trial with its suppliers. As part of our efforts to produce network infrastructure equipment utilizing the Cu5001 that we believe will be suitable for use in Embarq’s network, we secured commitments from Extreme Copper, Inc. of Newbury Park, California and Logic Research of Fukuoka, Japan to incorporate the Cu5001 in its next generation digital subscriber line access multiplexers (DSLAM) and customer premises equipment (CPE).

While our technology is currently available for evaluation and testing in field programmable gate array (“FPGA”) form, we do not believe that we will realize substantial revenues until our technologies are mass-produced in application-specific standard part (“ASSP”) form. We estimate that it will cost approximately $500,000 of additional engineering and fabrication expense in order to produce a mass market ASSP version. Subject to raising the needed capital, we estimate that we will complete them during the third fiscal quarter of 2007. To date, we have not recorded any revenues from the sale of products based on our technology and have not secured any purchase orders to sell our products.

We estimate that we will need an additional $1 million to accelerate our sales, marketing, manufacturing and customer service activities. We presently do not have the capital resources to undertake any of these steps, although we do have a commitment from an institutional investor to purchase $6 million of 7% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures upon our request at any time after March 1, 2007. The complexity of our technology could result in unforeseen delays or expenses in the commercialization process, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully commercialize our semiconductor technology.

We expect that system-level products that use our technology will have a significant advantage over existing system-level products that use existing broadband technologies, such as digital subscriber line (DSL), because such products will transmit data faster, and over longer distances. We expect products using our technology will offer numerous advantages to the network operators that deploy them, including the ability to support new services, the ability to offer existing and new services to previously unreachable locations in their network, reduction in total cost of ownership, security, and reliability.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses relate to the design and development of advanced transmission technology products. Prior to establishing technological feasibility, software development costs are expensed to research and development costs and to cost of sales subsequent to confirmation of technological feasibility. Internal development costs are capitalized to software development costs once technological feasibility is established. Technological feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-product basis. Research and development expenses generally consist of salaries, related expenses for engineering personnel and third-party development costs incurred.

We outsourced all of the development activities with respect to our products to independent third party developers until April 2006, when we hired our first engineer. During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2006, we hired a Vice President to oversee the development and marketing of our semiconductors as well as three other engineering employees to supervise the continued development of our products. During the three months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, we expended $647,674 and $85,044, respectively, for research and development of our semiconductor technology.

Technology Licenses

We have entered into two technology license agreements that may impact our future results of operations. Royalty payments, if any, under each license would be reflected in our consolidated statements of operations as a component of cost of sales.

In April 2002, we entered into a development and license agreement with Adaptive Networks, Inc. (“Adaptive”), to acquire a worldwide, perpetual license to Adaptive’s technology, intellectual property and patent portfolio. The licensed technology provides the core technology for our semiconductor products. We have also jointly developed technology with Adaptive that enhances the licensed technology.

In consideration of the development services provided and the licenses granted to us by Adaptive, we paid Adaptive an aggregate of $5,751,000 between 2002 and 2004 consisting of cash and our assumption of certain Adaptive liabilities. In addition to the above payments, Adaptive is entitled to a percentage of any net sales of products sold by us and any license revenue we receive from the licensed and co-owned technologies less the first $5,000,000 that would otherwise be payable to them under this royalty arrangement.

In February 2006, we obtained a license to include HelloSoft, Inc.’s integrated VoIP software suite in the Cupria^™ family of transport processors. We believe the inclusion of VoIP features in our products will eliminate VoIP dedicated components currently needed in modems and thereby lower their production costs by more than 20%. In consideration of this license, we have paid HelloSoft a license fee and will pay certain royalties based on our sale of products, including the licensed technology.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our estimates are based on historical experience, other information that is currently available to us and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and the variances could be material.

Our critical accounting policies are those that affect our condensed consolidated financial statements materially and involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management. We have identified the following critical accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Derivative Financial Instruments

In connection with the issuance of certain convertible debentures, the terms of the debentures included an embedded conversion feature that provided for a conversion of the debentures into shares of our common stock at a rate that was determined to be variable. We determined that the conversion feature was an embedded derivative instrument and that the conversion option was an embedded put option pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed To, and Potentially Settled In, a Company's Own Stock.”

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that we record the debentures and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the convertible debenture agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. In addition, under the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-19, as a result of entering into the convertible debenture agreements, we were required to classify all other non-employee warrants and options as derivative liabilities and record them at their fair values at each balance sheet date. Any change in fair value was recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date. If the fair value of the derivatives was higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, we recorded a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives was lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, we recorded non-operating, non-cash income. We reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification required under EITF Issue No. 00-19 changes as a result of events during the period, the contract should be reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

Stock-Based Compensation

We report stock based compensation under accounting guidance provided by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock options, based on estimated fair values.

SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our consolidated statement of operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Under the intrinsic value method, no stock-based compensation expense for employee stock options had been recognized in our consolidated statement of operations because the exercise price of our stock options granted to employees and directors equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant.

SFAS 123(R) also requires that the cash retained as a result of the tax deductibility of the increase in the value of share-based arrangements be presented as a component of cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), such amounts were required to be presented as a component of cash flows from operating activities. Due to our tax net operating loss position, we do not realize cash savings as a result of the tax deduction for stock-based compensation. Accordingly, the adoption SFAS 123(R) had no effect on our cash flows from operating or financing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2007.

We have continued to attribute the value of stock-based compensation to expense on the straight-line single option method.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized for non-employees under other accounting standards was $384,054 and $22,908 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from the sale of our semiconductor products when evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is determinable or fixed, legal title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, which is generally upon shipment of our products to our customers, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. To date we have not recognized any revenues related to the sale of our semiconductor products.

We recognize revenue from the distribution of our Film and related products when earned and reasonably estimable in accordance with Statement of Position 00-2, “Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films” (“SOP 00-2”). The following are the conditions that must be met in order to recognize revenue in accordance with SOP 00-2:

(i)

persuasive evidence of a sale or licensing arrangement with a customer exists;

(ii)

the film is complete and, in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, has been delivered or is available for immediate and unconditional delivery;

(iii)

the license period of the arrangement has begun and the customer can begin its exploitation, exhibition or sale;

(iv)

the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable; and

(v)

collection of the arrangement fee is reasonably assured.

Under a rights agreement with the distributor for our Film, we share with the distributor in the profits of the Film after the distributor recovers its marketing, distribution and other predefined costs and fees. The agreement provides for the payment of minimum guaranteed license fees, usually payable on delivery of the completed film, that are subject to further increase based on the actual distribution results.

In accordance with the provisions of SOP 00-2, a film is classified as a library title after three years from the film’s initial release. The term library title is used solely for the purpose of classification and for identifying previously released films in accordance with the provisions of SOP 00-2. Revenue recognition for such titles is in accordance with our revenue recognition policy for film revenue.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

Capitalization of computer software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility. Technological feasibility for our computer software is generally based upon achievement of a detail program design free of high-risk development issues and the completion of research and development on the product hardware in which it is to be used. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized computer software development costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenue, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware technology.

We periodically perform reviews of the recoverability of our capitalized software development costs. At the time a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, the capitalized costs of each software product is then valued at the lower of its remaining unamortized costs or net realizable value.

In connection with our assessment of our intellectual property, we retained the services of an independent valuation firm to value our intangible assets as of October 31, 2006. As a result of the valuation, no impairment was deemed necessary. The valuation does not provide any assurance that the intangible assets could be sold for their stated fair value. The valuation provides that the market will accept this technology and it assumes that we will be able to obtain sales or sales contacts related to these intangible assets. Due to the early stage of the marketability of this technology, there is no assurance that we can achieve the assumptions outlined in the valuation. If we determine in the future that our capitalized costs are not recoverable, the carrying amount of the technology license would be reduced, and such reduction may be material.

We commenced amortization of capitalized software development costs during December 2005 and have recorded amortization expense of $260,303 and $102,696 during the three months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2007 AND THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2006

REVENUES. We had no revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2007. Revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2006 were $40,176 and were entirely from our entertainment business. Revenues decreased 100% for the three months ended January 31, 2007 as we received no guarantee or license payments related to the distribution of our Film during the period. No revenues were recorded in connection with our semiconductor business during the three months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses primarily include the amortization of technology license and capitalized software development fees, research and development expenses in connection with the semiconductor business, and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Total operating expenses increased 137% or $1,360,382 to $2,355,193 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 from $994,811 for the three months ended January 31, 2006. The increase in total operating expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2007 was due primarily to the continued development of the Cupria product line, which was accomplished by adding a Vice President of Engineering and three engineers plus one support staff, an Executive Vice President in charge of Sales and Marketing, a marketing manager, and a Financial Controller during Fiscal 2006, raising our headcount to 10 full-time employees and one part-time employee for the three months ended January 31, 2007 from 3 full-time employees and one part-time employee for the three months ended January 31, 2006. Salaries, related taxes and benefits increased by 452% or $425,710 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 from $94,244 for the three months ended January 31, 2006.

During the three months ended January 31, 2007, there were also the following changes: amortization of technology licenses and capitalized software development fees increased 154% from $102,696 for the three months ended January 31, 2006 to $260,303 for the three months ended January 31, 2007, research and development expenses increased 662% from $85,044 for the three months ended January 31, 2006 to $647,674 for the three months ended January 31, 2007, and sales, general and administrative expenses increased 79% from $807,071 for the three months ended January 31, 2006 to $1,447,216 for the three months ended January 31, 2007.

In addition to the headcount increases referred to above, consulting expenses increased 210% or $142,072 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 from $45,941 for the three months ended January 31, 2006 and compensatory elements of stock option grants to employees and stock issuances to consultants increased by 162% or $550,817 to $889,819 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 from $339,002 for the three months ended January 31, 2006.

Amortization of technology licenses and capitalized software development fees was $260,303 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 as compared to $102,696 for the three months ended January 31, 2006. This is due to the increase in capitalized research and development costs and the purchase of technology from 1021 Technologies, Inc. and 1021 Technologies KK during the year ended October 31, 2006, plus recognizing a full three months of amortization on the technology licenses during the three months ended January 31, 2007, as compared to 1.5 months for the three months ended January 31, 2006, as amortization didn’t commence until December 2005.

Research and development expenses increased by 662% or $562,630 to $647,674 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 from $85,044 for the three months ended January 31, 2006. This increase is principally attributable to the increase in employees, having added a Vice President of Engineering and four engineers, plus a technical staff member during the year ended October 31, 2006 and increasing salaries, payroll taxes and benefits for the three months ended January 31, 2007, as compared to using outsourced consultants during the three months ended January 31, 2006. In addition to salaries, wages and benefits of $56,151 associated with these employees, the compensatory element of stock option issuances recognized for the three months ended January 31, 2007 was $420,410, the majority of which is accounted for by a share-based payment valued at $395,000 to eSilicon, the initial payment required to commence pre-production work for Release 2.0 of the Cupria product line. For the three months ended January 31, 2006, there were no salaries, wages and benefits, and compensatory element of stock option issuances recognized for research and development was only $5,044.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased 79% or $640,145 to $1,447,216 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 from $807,071 for the three months ended January 31, 2006. The increase is primarily the result of an increase in salaries and wages due to an increase in employees, having added three full-time employees during the year ended October 31, 2006. We had three full-time employees and one part-time employee for the three months ended January 31, 2006. This resulted in a 344% increase in salaries, wages and benefits of $304,497 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 from $88,296 for the three months ended January 31, 2006.

OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSES. Other expenses-net included interest income, interest expense, a loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, amortization of deferred financing costs and a gain on forgiveness of principal and interest on a promissory note. In total, other expenses - net increased by 1,484% or $5,092,050 to $5,435,291 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 from $343,241 for the three months ended January 31, 2006. Changes in individual line items changed for the reasons below.

Interest expense increased 124% or $1,541,545 to $2,786,501 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 from $1,244,956 from for the three months ended January 31, 2006. The increase is primarily due to the amortization and write-off of debt discount due to increased conversions of our convertible debentures during the three months ended January 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2006.

We recognized a loss of $1,538,647 on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities for the three months ended January 31, 2007, an increase of $1,514,509 from $24,138 for the three months ended January 31, 2006. The increase in the loss was due primarily to a larger increase in the market price of our common stock during the three months ended January 31, 2007 as compared to three months ended January 31, 2006 and the warrants issued in connection with the 2006 Debentures that were not in existence during the three months ended January 31, 2006. The closing market price of our common stock was $0.114 and $0.028 per share as of January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In general, increases in the market price of our common stock as compared to the exercise price of our warrants or options results in increases in the fair value of the warrant or option as estimated using the Black-Scholes model.

The amortization of deferred financing costs increased 361% or $880,719 to $1,124,686 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 from $243,967 for the three months ended January 31, 2006. The increase is primarily a result of the conversions of the 2006 Debentures. Upon conversion or repayment of debt prior to its maturity date, a pro-rata share of debt discount and deferred financing costs are written off and recorded as expense.

Other income in the three months ended January 31, 2006 consisted primarily of a gain on forgiveness of principal and interest on a promissory note (the “Zaiq Note”) to Zaiq Technologies, Inc. (“Zaiq”) of $1,169,820. The Zaiq Note was entered into in April 2005, had an original principal amount of $2,392,000 and was originally due and payable in April 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the note, the principal amount of the note decreased by $797,333.33 on each of the nine and 12 month anniversaries of the note. In December 2005, when we would not have otherwise been required to make a payment under the Zaiq Note, we entered into a letter agreement with Zaiq pursuant to which we agreed to repurchase from Zaiq for $200,000 the remaining balance of the Zaiq Note and 5,180,474 shares of our common stock held of record by Zaiq. We had the right to assign any or all of our purchase commitment under the letter agreement. We assigned to an unaffiliated third party that had been a prior investor in the Company the right to purchase 4,680,620 of the Zaiq shares. On December 20, 2005, we purchased the Zaiq Note and 499,854 shares of our common stock held by Zaiq for an aggregate purchase price of $129,789. The Zaiq shares we repurchased have been accounted for as treasury stock, carried at cost, and reflected as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. The remaining principal and accrued interest of $1,292,111 on the Zaiq Note was canceled resulting in a gain of $1,169,820.

Interest income represents interest earned on short-term investments and favorable cash management positions for the three months ended January 31, 2007.

NET LOSS. For the three months ended January 31, 2007 our net loss increased 501% or $6,492,608 to $7,790,484 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 from $1,297,876 for the three months ended January 31, 2006, primarily as the result of increases in salaries and related taxes and fringe benefits, consulting costs, interest expense, loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, amortization of deferred financing costs, and amortization of technology licenses and capitalized software development fees.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and short-term investments balances totaled approximately $287,000 at March 14, 2007, $686,805 as of January 31, 2007, and $2,090,119 as of October 31, 2006.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,155,688 for the three months ended January 31, 2007, compared to $467,047 for the three months ended January 31, 2006. The increase in cash used in operations was principally the result of the following items:

·	an increase in the net loss, which was $7,790,484 for the three months ended January 31, 2007, compared to $1,297,876 for the three months ended January 31, 2006; offset by

·	a net increase for the three months ended January 31, 2007 in other current assets, other assets, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $64,552, compared to a net increase of $97,032 for the three months ended January 31, 2006;

impacted primarily by the following non-cash items:

increased consulting fees and other compensatory elements of stock issuances, which were $889,819 for the three months ended January 31, 2007, compared to $339,002 for the three months ended January 31, 2006, principally due to the issuance of common stock with a value of $395,000 in exchange for services;

·	an increase in the loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $1,538,647 for the three months ended January 31, 2007, compared to a loss of $24,138 for the three months ended January 31, 2006, due to the reasons noted above;

increased amortization of deferred financing costs, which were $1,124,686 for the three months ended January 31, 2007, compared to $243,967 for the three months ended January 31, 2006, principally due to increased conversions of the 2006 Debentures and the amortization of the related deferred financing costs;

·	increased amortization of debt discount on notes, which was $2,752,373 for the three months ended January 31, 2007, compared to $1,193,195 for the three months ended January 31, 2006, principally due to increased conversions of the 2006 Debentures and the amortization of the related debt discount;

increased amortization of technology licenses and capitalized software development fees, which was $260,303 for the three months ended January 31, 2007, compared to $102,696 for the three months ended January 31, 2006, principally due to recognizing a full three months of amortization for the three months ended January 31, 2007, as compared to 1.5 months for the three months ended January 31, 2006 as amortization didn’t commence until December 2005; and

·	a gain on forgiveness of principal and interest on the promissory note to Zaiq Technologies, Inc. of $1,169,820 for the three months ended January 31, 2006 which did not occur during the three months ended January 31, 2007.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $252,374 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 compared to $0 for the three months ended January 31, 2006. The net increase was due to proceeds from the maturity of short-term investments and from the sale of certain trademark rights, offset by capitalization of research and development costs and software development fees, as well as the purchase of equipment and leasehold improvements related to the buildout of our headquarters office facility.

There was no cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2007, compared to $449,419 for the three months ended January 31, 2006, where we received the proceeds from a note payable, offset by repayments of convertible notes payable, notes payable, capitalized financing costs and the repurchase of common stock.

Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through the issuance of our common stock and debt securities. Our recent financings are discussed below.

In March 2006, we sold $6,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of our Senior Secured 7% convertible debentures and warrants, receiving net proceeds of approximately $4.5 million after the payment of offering related costs (the “2006 Debentures”). As of January 31, 2007, approximately $5.6 million of principal amount and interest of the 2006 Debentures had been converted into approximately 73.4 million shares of our common stock and there was $662,000 of principal amount of the 2006 Debentures outstanding. The 2006 Debentures mature in March 2008.

In January 2006, we entered into a loan agreement with an institutional investor pursuant to which we borrowed $750,000. The outstanding principal and accrued interest on this loan was repaid in March 2006 from the proceeds of the 2006 Debentures.

In May 2005, we sold $3.5 million in aggregate principal amount of our Senior Secured 7% convertible debentures and warrants (the “2005 Debentures”) in a private placement to certain private and institutional investors. As of January 31, 2007, approximately $3.6 million of principal amount and interest of the 2005 Debentures had been converted into approximately 170.1 million shares of our common stock and there was $4,280 of principal amount of the 2005 Debentures outstanding. The 2005 Debentures mature in May 2008.

In December 2003, April 2004 and May 2004,we sold $1,350,000 in aggregate principal amount and received net proceeds of approximately $1,024,000 from the private placement to certain private and institutional investors of our three year 7% convertible debentures and warrants (the “7% Debentures”). As of January 31, 2007, approximately $1.4 million of principal amount and interest of the 7% Debentures had been converted into approximately 9.1 million shares of our common stock and there was $75,000 of principal amount of the 7% Debentures outstanding. The 7% Debentures mature in May 2007.

As of March 14, 2007, we had cash and short-term investments of approximately $287,000. An institutional investor that has been a prior investor in the Company has committed to purchase $6 million of 7% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures upon our request at any time after March 1, 2007. As a result, management believes funds on hand or committed to us will enable us to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months. Nevertheless, circumstances may arise that would require us to raise additional capital in order to meet our liquidity needs and satisfy our current business plan prior to the receipt of revenues from our semiconductor business.

We may not be successful in our efforts to raise additional funds. Even if we are able to raise additional funds through the issuance of debt or other means, our cash needs could be heavier than anticipated in which case we could be forced to raise additional capital. Even after we receive orders for our products, we do not yet know what payment terms will be required by our customers or if our products will be successful. At the present time, other than the $6 million commitment described above, we have no commitments for any additional financing, and there can be no assurance that, if needed, additional capital will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms or at all.

Additional equity financings are likely to be dilutive to holders of our Common Stock and debt financing, if available, may involve significant payment obligations and covenants that restrict how we operate our business.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 establishes new standards on accounting for changes in accounting principles. Pursuant to the new rules, all such changes must be accounted for by retrospective application to the financial statements of prior periods unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS 154 completely replaces Accounting Principles Bulletin No. 20 and SFAS 3, though it carries forward the guidance in those pronouncements with respect to accounting for changes in estimates, changes in the reporting entity, and the correction of errors. The requirements in SFAS 154 are effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We will apply these requirements to any accounting changes after the implementation date. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In February 2006, the FASB published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS 155”). SFAS 155 resolves issues addressed in SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” The requirements in SFAS 155 are effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We adopted SFAS 155 as of November 1, 2006. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation establishes for all entities a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of tax positions, and requires certain expanded disclosures. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2006, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the application of the Interpretation to our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for us as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009, with earlier application encouraged. Any cumulative effect will be recorded as an adjustment to the opening accumulated deficit balance, or other appropriate component of equity. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulleting (“SAB”) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 was issued in order to reduce the diversity in practice in how public companies quantify misstatements of financial statements, including misstatements that were not material to prior years’ financial statements. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal year 2007. We adopted SAB 108 as of November 1, 2006. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

SFAS 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements included in SFAS 157 and SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” SFAS 159 is effective for us as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. We have not yet determined the impact SFAS 159 may have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

FSP EITF 00-19-2 is effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the financial instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered into or modified subsequent to the issuance date of this FSP, or for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for registration payment arrangements entered into prior to the issuance date of this FSP. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act as of this report. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded based upon his evaluation that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Such limitations include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures, such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect these controls during the three months ended January 31, 2007.

These securities were issued without registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Appropriate legends were affixed to the share certificates issued in all of the above transactions. The Company believes that each of the recipients was an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, or had such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be able to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in our common stock. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with the Company and its officers and directors, to information about the Company. None of the transactions described above involved general solicitation or advertising.
