RISK FACTORS
 
THE UNITS OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND ARE, THEREFORE, HIGHLY SPECULATIVE IN NATURE AND SHOULD NOT BE PUR­CHASED BY PERSONS WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE LOSS OF THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.  IN ANALYZING THIS OFFERING, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CARE­FULLY CONSIDER THE RISK FACTORS AND THE SPECU­LATIVE FACTORS INHERENT IN AND AFFECTING BOTH OUR BUSINESS AND THE VALUE OF OUR SECURITIES.  IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS CONFIDENTIAL PRIVATE OFFERING MEMORANDUM, THE FOLLOWING FACTORS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED CAREFULLY IN EVALUATING AN INVESTMENT IN THE UNITS OFFERED BY THIS CONFIDENTIAL PRIVATE OFFERING MEMORANDUM.

STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS CONFIDENTIAL PRIVATE OFFERING MEMORANDUM THAT ARE NOT BASED ON HISTORICAL FACT ARE "FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS" WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGA­TION REFORM ACT OF 1995.  FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS MAY BE IDENTIFIED BY THE USE OF FORWARD-LOOKING TERMINOLOGY SUCH AS "MAY," "WILL," "EXPECT," "BELIEVE," "ESTIMATE," "ANTICIPATE," "CONTINUE" OR SIMILAR TERMS VARIATIONS OF THOSE TERMS OR THE NEGATIVE OF THOSE TERMS.  INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS WHICH CONSTITUTES CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS IDENTIFYING IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
 
Notwithstanding the information contained in this Confidential Private Offering Memorandum, prospective investors are encouraged to ask questions of our officers and directors and request additional information concerning the Offering and our business.  We will provide prospective investors with answers to their questions and to obtain any additional information to the extent management possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense.  No federal or state commission, department or agency has made any evaluation, finding, recommendation or endorsement with respect to the securities offered hereby.

We have generated minimal revenues since inception. As a result, our current operations are not an adequate source of cash to fund future operations. To fund our cash requirements, we have relied on private placement issuances of equity and debt financing instruments.
 
We have only recently begun to focus on commercialization efforts with regard to the products related to our wholly owned subsidiary Spare Backup and there is no guarantee that those efforts including all publicly announce relationships will enable the Company to successfully market those products.

Our pricing model for our products and services is unproven and may be less than anticipated, which may harm gross margins;

We face severe competition from other storage and software companies, many of whom have greater resources than we do, and we may be unable to become a competitive force in our marketplace.

In addition, some of these competitors have a longer operating history than we do and many of them have substantially greater financial and other resources than we do.  As a result, we will likely encounter greater difficulty in implementing our business plans than will our competitors.
 
Our success is dependent on the performance and retention of our Chief Executive Officer and key employees.

The terms of this offering, including the offering price of the Units and the exercise price of the warrants were arbitrarily determined.

The offering price of the Units, the exercise price of the warrants, and other terms of the Offering were determined by negotiation between us and certain potential investors, and are not necessarily related to our asset value, book value, financial condition or any other recognized indication of value.

There is a $50,000 minimum investment amount in this offering and there is substantial risk that we will be unable to raise the full offering amount which will limit our ability to execute our business plan.

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

Management has substantial discretion over the use of funds raised in this offering and investors will have no voice in the application of proceeds.

The report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our net losses and cash used in operations.  Please look at all SEC filings.

The Units and their component securities are not registered under federal securities laws and resale of such securities will be restricted in accordance with applicable law.

The Offering is being made pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") and Regulation D and Rule 144A under the Act, solely to accredited investors (as such term is defined in the Act and Regulation D thereunder and qualified institutional buyers (as such term is defined in Regulation 144A under the Act).  Neither the Units, nor the shares of common stock underlying the warrants included in the Units, have been registered under the Act, and may be deemed "restricted securities" as such term is defined in the Act.  As such, the resale of any of such securities may not be made without registration under the Act or the existence of an exemption from such registration requirement.  No assurance can be gi ven as to if or when such securities will be registered for resale by the investors.  Accordingly, investors in the Units must be prepared to bear the economic risk of investment for an indefinite period of time.

Our business is capital intensive, particularly with respect to advertising and marketing, and our lack of revenues and profits may make our obtaining additional capital more difficult.

Our operations are capital intensive and our growth will consume a substantial portion of our available working capital.  Therefore, depending upon the timing and rate at which we are able to generate revenues from operations, we may require additional capital in order to fund our operations.  Unless we are able to generate sufficient revenues to sustain and grow operations, we will require additional funding in order to remain viable.  Our current lack of significant revenues or profitable operations may cause us difficulty in raising additional financing if we require it.  We cannot predict whether additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms.

Our inability to timely complete product and technology development may hurt us.

We have not yet completed development and testing of certain proposed 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 fund and complete product development to permit their timely introduction into the marketplace. We will be required to commit considerable time, effort and resources to complete development of our proposed products and product enhancements, however, 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, our 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 us and by current and potential end users, problems may be found in new products after the commencement of commercial shipments, resulting in loss of, or delay in, market acceptance.

It is not possible to foresee all risks which may affect us.  Moreover, we cannot predict whether we will successfully effectuate our current business plan.  Each prospective purchaser is encouraged to carefully analyze the risks and merits of an investment in the Units and should take into consideration when making such analysis, among others, the Risk Factors discussed above as well as to review of public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission available at www.sec.gov.

Exhibit B

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

The Company represents and warrants to the Investor, as of the date hereof, the Initial Closing Date and each Subsequent Closing Date, that:

(a)           The Company has been validly formed and is legally existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of California, with full corporate power and authority to conduct its business as currently conducted, and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the nature of its properties requires such qualification or authorization, except where the failure to be so qualified or authorized and in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”).  As of the date hereof, the Company does not have, directly or indirectly, any subsidiaries other than as disclosed in the Company’s filings with the SEC (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”).  Each Subsidiary has been duly organized, is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has the power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business and is duly qualified and authorized to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the nature of its properties requires such qualification or authorization, except where the failure to be so qualified or authorized and in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
(b)           Except for the Subsidiaries and as otherwise disclosed in its public filings, the Company holds no ownership or other interest, nominal or beneficial, direct or indirect, in any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other business entity.  All of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary is owned by the Company, free and clear of any lien, charge, mortgage, pledge, security interest, claim, equity, trust or other encumbrance, preferential arrangement, defect or restriction of any kind whatsoever (each, a “Lien”), and has been duly authorized and validly issued, and is non-assessable.
 
(c)           The current authorized capital stock of the Company 150,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 50,000 shares have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock.  The Company has received the required stockholder votes by virtue of proxy approving the authorized capital to be increased to 300,000,000 shares of common stock.  As of the date hereof  not more than 175,000,000 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding or reserved for issuance for any derivative instruments outstanding, and all such shares of capital stock (including the Securi ties issued in the Placement) are, as the case may be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights.  The Shares and the Warrant Shares have been duly reserved, and when issued in accordance with the terms of the Placement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive or any other similar rights and no personal liability will attach to the ownership thereof.  The outstanding options, warrants and other convertible securities of the Company are as set forth in the Memorandum and the Company’s filings with the SEC (collectively, the “Company Documents”).  The issuance of the Securities or the consummation of the Placement will not trigger any resetting or re-pricing of any debt or equity security instrument of the Company or any Subsidiary.
 
 
18

 
 
(d)           Neither the Memorandum, the Subscription Documents nor any of Company Documents contain any untrue statement of a material fact, and the Company Documents will not omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that the Company shall have no liability for any information provided to the Company in writing by, and relating to, the Placement Agent, for use in and used in the Memorandum.  It is understood that any summary in the Memorandum of a document which appears therein in full (either as signed or substantially in the form to be signed) does not constitute an untrue or misleading statement merely because it is a summary; provided, however, that any such summary may not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  If, at any time before the Placement is completed or terminated or before all subscriptions are accepted by the Company, there should be any change which would cause the Company Documents not to comply with this Section 7(d), the Company will promptly advise the Investor thereof and make any necessary corrective filings with the SEC and prepare and furnish the Placement Agent with such copies of such supplements or amendments to the Memorandum and the Subscription Documents as will cause the Memorandum and the Subscription Documents, as so supplemented or amended, to comply with this Section 7(d), and will make to Investors, if dee med necessary by counsel to the Company, an offer of rescission.
 
(e)           Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in: (i) violation of its certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents, (ii) default under, and no event has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its property or assets pursuant to, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its property or assets is subject or (iii) violation in any respect of any law, rule, regulation, ordinance, directive, judgment, decree or order of any judicial, regulatory or other legal or governmental agency or body, foreign or domestic, except (in the case of clause (ii) above) for any Lien disclosed in the Memorandum and the exhibits thereto and except, in the cases of (ii) and (iii), where such defaults or violations do not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
(f)           The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, all Company Documents, the Subscription Documents, the Warrants and all other documents to be entered into by the Company in connection with any transaction described in the Memorandum or in connection with the Placement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been or will be prior to such execution, delivery, performance or consummation, as the case may be, duly and validly authorized by the Company and do not and will not: (i) constitute, or result in, a breach or violation of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) constitute, or result in, a material viol ation of any applicable statute, law, ordinance or regulation of any state, territory or other jurisdiction, or (iii) violate, constitute, or result in, a default under (or an event which with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute a default under) or breach of the terms, provisions or conditions of any material indenture, note, contract, commitment, instrument or document to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or will be a party or by which the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties are bound, or any award, judgment, decree, rule or regulation of any court or governmental or regulatory agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective activities or properties except, in the cases of (ii) and (iii), where such defaults or violations do not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

 
19

 
 
(g)           This Agreement, the Subscription Documents, the Warrants and all other documents to be entered into by the Company in connection with any transaction described in the Memorandum or in connection with the Placement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except insofar as enforcement of the indemnification or contribution provisions hereof may be limited by applicable laws or principles of public policy and except further as to enforcement, to the availability of equitable remedies and limitations imposed by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws and related court decis ions relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally.

21

 
 
(t)           The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting and other controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of reliable financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain accountability for assets, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accounting for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any material differences.

(v)           So long as the Common Stock and the Warrants (including the Common Stock receivable upon the exercise thereof) are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Company, during any period in which it is not subject to and in compliance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or is not exempt from such reporting requirements pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 12g3-2b under the Exchange Act, provide to each holder of Common Stock and to each prospective purchaser (as designated by such holder) of Common Stock upon the request of such holder or prospective holder, any information required to be provided by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

22

 
 
(y)           The Company and each Subsidiary owns or leases all such properties as are necessary to the conduct of its business as presently operated.  The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them, in each case free and clear of all Liens except such as are described in the Memorandum or such as do not (individually or in the aggregate) materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries.  Any real property and buildings held under lease or sublease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material to, and do not interfere with, the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company and the Subsidiaries.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any written notice (or, to the Company’s knowledge, any other notice) of any claim adverse to its ownership of any real or personal property or of any claim against the continued possession of any real property, whether owned or held under lease or sublease by the Company or any Subsidiary.
 
(z)           The Company and each Subsidiary: (i) owns or possesses all rights to use, option and/or license, as the case may be, all patents, patent applications, provisional patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trademark registrations, service mark registrations, copyrights, licenses, formulae, mask works, customer lists, internet domain names, know-how and other intellectual property (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or un-patentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures, “Intellectual Property”) necessary for the conduct of their respective businesses as being conducted and as described in the Memorandum and (ii) does not believe that the conduct of their respective businesses does or will conflict with, and have not received any notice of any claim of conflict with, any such right of others, which conflict would have a Material Adverse Effect.  To the best of the Company’s knowledge, all Intellectual Property developed by and belonging to the Company or any Subsidiary (including, without limitation, that which is developed by consultants to the Company or any Subsidiary) which has not been patented has been kept confidential so as, among other things, all such information may be deemed proprietary to the Company.  To the Company’s knowledge, there is no infringement by third parties of any Intellectual Property.  There are no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened actions, suits, proceedings or claims by others challenging the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s rights in or to any Intellectual Property, and there are no facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim.  There is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others that the Company or any Subsidiary infringes or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property rights of others, in each case which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the Company is unaware of any other fact which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim.
 
(aa)           The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as are customary for similarly-sized public companies engaged in similar businesses in similar industries, all of which insurance is in full force and effect.  There are no material claims by the Company or any Subsidiary under any such policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause.  The Company reasonably believes that it will be able to renew its existing insurance as and when such coverage expires or will be able to obtain replacement insurance adequate for the conduct of its business.
 
(bb)           Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has properly prepared and timely filed all federal, state, foreign and other tax returns that are required to be filed by it and has paid or made provision for the payment of, except such as may be contested in good faith, all taxes, assessments, governmental or other similar charges, including without limitation, all sales and use taxes and all taxes which the Company or any Subsidiary is obligated to withhold from amounts owing to employees, creditors and third parties, with respect to the periods covered by such tax returns (whether or not such amounts are shown as due on any tax return).  No deficiency assessment with respect to a proposed adjustment of the Company’s or any Subsidiary 217; federal, state, local or foreign taxes is pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened which, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a Material Adverse Effect.  The accruals and reserves on the books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries in respect of tax liabilities for any taxable period not finally determined are adequate in all material respects to meet any assessments and related liabilities for any such period and, since the date of the Company’s most recent audited financial statements, the Company and the Subsidiaries have not incurred any liability for taxes other than in the ordinary course of its business.  There is no tax Lien, whether imposed by any federal, state, foreign or other taxing authority, outstanding against the assets, properties or business of the Company or any Subsidiary.
 
 
23

 
 
(cc)            No labor disturbance by the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary currently exists or, to the Company’s knowledge, is likely to occur.
 
(dd)           No “prohibited transaction” (as defined in either Section 406 of the ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the “Code”)), “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) or other event of the kind described in Section 4043(b) of ERISA (other than events with respect to which the 30-day notice requirement under Section 4043 of ERISA has been waived) has occurred with respect to any employee benefit plan for which the Company or any Subsidiary would have any liability; each employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with applicable la w, including (without limitation) ERISA and the Code; the Company has not incurred and does not expect to incur liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to the termination of, or withdrawal from any “pension plan”; and each employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which could cause the loss of such qualification.
 
(ee)           Neither the Company, any Subsidiary nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any of their respective employees or agents has at any time during the last five (5) years: (i) made any unlawful contribution to any candidate for foreign office, or failed to disclose fully any contribution in violation of law, or (ii) made any payment to any federal or state governmental officer or official, or other person charged with similar public or quasi-public duties, other than payments that are not prohibited by the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction thereof or any foreign jurisdiction.
 
(ff)           The Company has not offered the Units to any person or entity with the intention of unlawfully influencing: (i) a customer or supplier of the Company or any Subsidiary to alter the customer’s or supplier’s level or type of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or (ii) a journalist or publication to write or publish favorable information about the Company, any Subsidiary or its products or services
 
(gg)          In addition to the foregoing, to the extent not set forth herein, the Investor may rely on the representations and warranties made by the Company in the Subscription Agreement provided by the Company and used in connection with the Placement.
