PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. You
should read the entire prospectus carefully, including, the section entitled
"Risk Factors" before deciding to invest in our common stock. Roaming Messenger,
Inc. is referred to throughout this prospectus as "Roaming Messenger," "we" or
"us."
General
We are a software company and have developed a proprietary system that enables
software programs and other business applications to connect to wired and
wireless devices, such as cellular phones, computers and personal digital
assistants. This system, known as the Roaming Messenger Platform, serves as a
gateway to the mobile world for a variety of software programs and other
business applications such as those used in emergency response, homeland
security, logistics, healthcare and financial services.
The Roaming Messenger Platform allows applications to send out smart messages,
or "messengers," to mobile devices. Unlike regular e-mail messages, these
software messengers are encrypted, and have the ability to roam automatically
among mobile devices, trying to get the attention of the user, confirm receipt,
deliver interactive content, and transmit real-time responses back to the
sending application. They also have the ability to move independently to
alternative recipients in an organization's chain of command if the originally
intended recipient does not respond in a timely fashion.
For example, a software messenger may try to locate a person on his or her
computer, and, if there is no response, move to that person's cellular phone,
and subsequently move to that person's personal digital assistants. If still
unanswered, the messenger will travel automatically to the next person with
authority to act on the message, such as the superior of the originally intended
recipient.
We have generated only minimal revenues from the Roaming Messenger Platform. To
date, almost all of our revenues have been generated by Warp 9, Inc., our
wholly-owned subsidiary, that offers web-based e-commerce software products and
services to the catalog and direct marketing industry.
For the year ended June 30, 2005, we generated revenues of $1,184,212 and
incurred a consolidated net loss of $2,479,100. For the three-month period
ending September 30, 2005, we generated revenue of $337,926 and incurred a
consolidated net loss of $509,407. As a result of recurring losses from
operations, a working capital deficit and accumulated deficit, our auditors, in
their report dated September 16, 2005, have expressed substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern.
Recent Financing
On December 28, 2005, we consummated a securities purchase agreement with
Cornell Capital Partners L.P. providing for the sale by us to Cornell of our 10%
secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $1,200,000
of which $400,000 was advanced immediately and the second installment of
$350,000 was advanced on January 30, 2006. The last installment of $450,000 will
be advanced two business days prior to the date the registration statement is
declared effective.
The debentures mature on the third anniversary of the date of issuance and we
are not required to make any payments until the maturity date.
Holders of the debentures may convert at any time amounts outstanding under the
debentures into shares of our common stock at a conversion price per share equal
to the lesser of (i) $0.15 or (ii) 80% of the lowest volume weighted average
price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the
conversion date as quoted by Bloomberg, LP. Cornell has agreed not to short any
of the shares of Common Stock for as long as any of the debentures remain
outstanding.
We have the right to redeem, upon three-business day notice, a portion or all
amounts outstanding under the debenture prior to the maturity date at a 20%
redemption premium provided that the closing bid price of our common stock is
less than $0.15. In addition, in the event of a redemption, we are required to
issue to Cornell 50,000 shares of common stock for each $100,000 redeemed, which
shares are not being registered herewith. Under the terms of the debenture, the
holder has the right to convert all or part of the debenture within the
three-day period following the delivery of a redemption notice.
We also issued to Cornell five-year warrants to purchase 1,500,000, 4,000,000
and 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.08, $0.10 and $0.12, respectively.
In connection with the purchase agreement, we also entered into a registration
rights agreement with Cornell providing for the registration of the shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures and exercise of the
warrants. We are obligated to use our best efforts to cause the registration
statement to be declared effective no later than April 27, 2006 and to insure
that the registration statement remains in effect until all of the shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures and exercise of the
warrants have been sold. In the event of a default of our obligations under the
registration rights agreement, including our agreement to file the registration
statement no later than January 27, 2006, or if the registration statement is
not declared effective by April 27, 2006, we are required to pay to Cornell, as
liquidated damages, for each month that the registration statement has not been
filed or declared effective, as the case may be, either a cash amount or shares
of our common stock equal to 2% of the liquidated value of the Debentures.

Our obligations under the purchase agreement are secured by substantially all of
our assets. As further security for our obligations thereunder, Jon Lei, our
Chief Executive Officer, has granted a security interest in 2,000,000 shares of
common stock that he owns.
Also on December 28, 2005, we terminated the Periodic Equity Investment
Agreement dated March 28, 2005 with Wings Fund, Inc. That agreement provided for
the sale to Wings of up to $3,000,000 worth of our common stock at our
discretion in twelve monthly increments of up to $250,000 commencing in
September 2005. On the date of termination of that agreement, we had sold
approximately 4,279,174 shares of common stock for total proceeds of $272,147.
Our principal executive office is located at 50 Castilian Drive, Suite A, Santa
Barbara, California 93117 and our telephone number is (805) 683-7626.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our shares involves a high degree of risk. Before making an
investment decision, you should carefully consider all of the risks described in
this prospectus. If any of the risks discussed in this prospectus actually
occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be
materially and adversely affected. If this were to happen, the price of our
shares could decline significantly and you may lose all or a part of your
investment. The risk factors described below are not the only ones that may
affect us. Our forward-looking statements in this prospectus are subject to the
following risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially
from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements as a result of the risk
factors below. See "Forward-Looking Statements."
Risks Related to Our Business
We have a history of losses, expect continuing losses and may never achieve
profitability
For the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we generated revenues of $1,184,212
and $953,777, respectively, and incurred consolidated net losses of $2,479,100
and $1,035,945, respectively. For the six-month period ending December 31, 2005,
we generated revenue of $856,072 and incurred a consolidated net loss of
$904,574. We cannot assure you that we can achieve or sustain profitability on a
quarterly or annual basis in the future. Our operations are subject to the risks
and competition inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise. There
can be no assurance that future operations will be profitable. Revenues and
profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including whether our product
will achieve market acceptance. We may not achieve our business objectives and
the failure to achieve such goals would have an adverse impact on us. These
matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
Our auditors have included a going concern modification in their opinion
Our auditors have modified their opinion to our financial statements because of
concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. These concerns arise
from the fact that we have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues
sufficient to cover our operating costs and that we must raise additional
capital in order to continue to operate our business. If we are unable to
continue as a going concern, you could lose your entire investment in us.
We may need to raise additional capital, which may not be available on
acceptable terms or at all
In December 2005, we received $400,000 in debt financing from Cornell Capital
Partners LP. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, it has committed to
advance an additional $350,000 at the time of filing of the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part and $450,000 at the time of
effectiveness of the registration statement. In the future, we may be required
to raise additional funds, particularly if we exhaust the funds advanced under
that agreement, are unable to generate positive cash flow as a result of our
operations and are required to repay the convertible debentures as a result of
Cornell Capital's failure to convert the debentures into common stock. There can
be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms
acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain additional capital may
reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable
to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our
research and development plans. Any additional equity financing may involve
substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders.
We may not be able to successfully commercialize our Roaming Messenger
Technology
While we have released a new version of the Roaming Messenger Platform, it has
not generated any significant revenues and we are unable to project when we will
achieve profitability, if at all. As is the case with any new technology, we
expect the development process to continue. We cannot assure that our
engineering resources will be able to modify the product fast enough to meet
market requirements. We can also not assure that our product will gain market
acceptance and that we will be able to successfully commercialize the Roaming
Messenger technology.
Our revenues are dependent upon acceptance of our products by third party
licensors
Our primary sales and distribution model is based on sales to end-users through
distributors. As a result, we will continue to incur substantial operating
losses until such time as we are able to generate revenues from licensing and
service fees for our products through our distribution partners. There can be no
assurance that businesses and customers will adopt our technology and products,
or that businesses and prospective customers will agree to pay the licensing and
service fees for our products. In the event that we are not able to
significantly increase the number of customers that license our products, or if
we are unable to charge the necessary license fees, our financial condition and
results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
Our success is dependent upon increasing acceptance of wireless access to the
Internet in the United States.
Our services are primarily wireless web based. Therefore, our success is linked
directly to the extent to which users of the Internet in the United States
accept wireless web based technology as a viable means of communication and
increase their use and reliance upon wireless access to the Internet. Currently,
wireless web based technology has limited application and the demand for
wireless access is minimal, and if such demand does not increase, or, if such
demand increases at a pace slower than projected, then our financial condition
and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
4
We do not maintain theft or casualty insurance, and only maintain modest
liability and property insurance coverage and therefore we could incur losses as
a result of an uninsured loss.
We do not maintain theft or casualty insurance and we have modest liability and
property insurance coverage, along with workmen's compensation and related
insurance. We cannot assure that we will not incur uninsured liabilities and
losses as a result of the conduct of our business. Any such insured loss or
liability could have a material adverse affect on our results of operations.
If we lose key employees and consultants or are unable to attract or retain
qualified personnel, our business could suffer
Our success is highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified
scientific and management personnel. We are highly dependent on our management,
including Mr. Jonathan Lei who has been critical to the development of our
technologies and business. The loss of the services of Mr. Lei could have a
material adverse effect on our operations. We do not have an employment
agreement with Mr. Lei. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that he will
remain associated with us. The efforts of Mr. Lei will be critical to us as we
continue to develop our technology and as we attempt to transition from a
development state company to a company with commercialized products and
services. If we were to lose Mr. Lei, or any other key employees, we may
experience difficulties in competing effectively, developing our technology and
implementing our business strategies.
Two senior members of our management team are under indictment which may lead to
their departure and damage to our reputation
In February 2006, Jonathan Lei, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, along
with Bryan Crane, our Vice President of Corporate Development, were indicted by
a federal grand jury in Florida, alleging that they conspired to commit
securities, mail and wire fraud in connection with an offer for private funding
made to us in February 2005 by a surreptitious investment fund formed by the
Government. The Company was not named in the indictment. This indictment may
have a material adverse impact on our business as result of the possible
departure of these two senior members of our management team and as a result of
damage to our reputation because of the allegations.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property effectively, we may be
unable to prevent third parties from using our technologies, which would impair
our competitive advantage.
We have not yet been granted patents for our technology and we cannot assure you
that any of our currently pending or future patent applications will result in
issued patents, or that any patents issued to us will not be challenged,
invalidated or held unenforceable. We cannot guarantee you that we will be
successful in defending challenges made in connection with our patent
applications. We rely on trade secret protection, and other contractual
restrictions to protect our proprietary technologies, all of which provide
limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to
gain or keep any competitive advantage. If we fail to protect our intellectual
property, we will be unable to prevent third parties from using our technologies
and they will be able to compete more effectively against us.
We cannot guarantee you that any patents issued to us will be broad enough to
provide any meaningful protection nor can we assure you that one of our
competitors may not develop more effective technologies, designs or methods
without infringing our intellectual property rights or that one of our
competitors might not design around our proprietary technologies.
If we are not able to protect our proprietary technology, trade secrets and
know-how, our competitors may use our inventions to develop competing products.
We have applied for certain patents relating to our technology. However, these
patents may not be issued, or if issued, may not protect us against our
competitors, and patent litigation is very expensive. We may not have sufficient
cash available to pursue any patent litigation to its conclusion because
currently we do not generate revenues.
We cannot rely solely on our current patents to be successful. The standards
that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and foreign patent offices use to
grant patents, and the standards that U.S. and foreign courts use to interpret
patents, are not the same and are not always applied predictably or uniformly
and can change, particularly as new technologies develop. As such, the degree of
patent protection obtained in the U.S. may differ substantially from that
obtained in various foreign countries. In some instances, patents have issued in
the U.S. while substantially less or no protection has been obtained in Europe
or other countries.
We cannot be certain of the level of protection, if any, that will be provided
by our patents, if issued. If we attempt to enforce them and they are challenged
in court where our competitors may raise defenses such as invalidity,
unenforceability or possession of a valid license. In addition, the type and
extent of any patent claims that may be issued to us in the future are
uncertain. Any patents which are issued may not contain claims that will permit
us to stop competitors from using similar technology.
We are subject to competition from other companies, some of which have greater
financial resources, brand recognition, management experience than we do.
The mobile data technology industry is characterized by intense competition. We
will be subject to competition from other companies, many of which have greater
financial resources, greater name recognition, more management experience, and
longer operating histories than we have. There is no assurance that we will be
able to compete successfully or profitably in the mobile data technology
business.
5
We may not be able to respond to the rapid technological change of the mobile
data industry.
Mobile data is a rapidly evolving technology. Our future success is dependent
upon our ability to adapt rapidly to changes in mobile data technology. To do
so, we must continually improve the performance, features and reliability of our
technology and products. If we fail to maintain a competitive level of
technological expertise, it would have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, the
widespread adoption of new mobile data technologies or other technological
changes could require substantial expenditures by us to modify or adapt our
services or infrastructure, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We may be subject to Internet regulation.
Currently there are few laws or regulations that specifically regulate
communications or commerce on the Internet. Laws and regulations may be adopted
in the future that address issues such as user privacy, pricing, and the
characteristics and quality of products and services. Several telecommunications
companies have petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to regulate
Internet service providers and online services providers in a manner similar to
long distance telephone carriers and to impose access fees on these companies.
Any imposition of access fees could increase the cost of transmitting data over
the Internet. Moreover, it may take years to determine the extent to which
existing laws relating to issues such as property ownership, libel and personal
privacy are applicable to the Internet. Any new laws or regulations relating to
the Internet, or to mobile data technology, could materially adversely affect
our business and results of operations.
We are reliant upon third parties to assist in the operation and maintenance of
our network infrastructure.
We rely on third parties to assist in operating and maintaining our network
infrastructure. If these systems fail, user traffic could be disrupted or
delayed, which could impair our business and damage our reputation. Fire,
floods, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins and
similar events could damage these systems and cause interruptions in our
services. Computer viruses, electronic break-ins or other similar disruptive
problems could result in reductions or termination of our services by our
customers or otherwise adversely affect our business. We do not have any backup
systems or a formal disaster recovery plan. Our Web site must be able to
accommodate a high volume of traffic and deliver frequently updated information.
We are dependent upon the operations of the Internet and our Web site for our
business.
Since ours is a web based service, our customers depend on Internet service
providers, online service providers and other Web site operators for access to
our Web site. If our Web site experiences slower response times or decreased
traffic for a variety of reasons, it could have an adverse affect on our
business and results of operations especially as compared to other services that
rely on other communication media as well. Any outages, delays or other Internet
difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our systems could have an
adverse affect on our business and reputation. The Internet network
infrastructure may not be able to support continued growth, which could
adversely affect our business.
Unknown software defects could disrupt our services and harm our business and
reputation.
Our software products are inherently complex. Additionally, our product and
service offerings depend on complex software, both internally developed and
licensed from third parties. Complex software often contains defects or errors
in translation, particularly when first introduced or when new versions are
released or localized for international markets. We may not discover software
defects in our products or that affect new or current services or enhancements
until after they are deployed. Despite testing, it is possible that defects may
occur in the software. These defects could cause service interruptions, which
could damage our reputation or increase service costs, cause us to lose revenue,
delay market acceptance or divert development resources.
If our system security is breached, our reputation could suffer and our revenues
could decline.
A fundamental requirement for online communications is the secure transmission
of confidential information over public networks. As a young company, we have
limited experience protecting ourselves against security breaches and may be
more vulnerable in that respect than other more mature entities. Therefore,
third parties may attempt to breach our security or that of our customers. If
these attempts are successful, customers' confidential information, including
customers' profiles, passwords, financial account information, credit card
numbers or other personal information could be breached. We may be liable to our
customers for any breach in security and a breach could harm our ability to
market and sell our services. We rely on encryption technology licensed from
third parties. Our servers are vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or
electronic break-ins and similar disruptions, which could lead to interruptions,
delays or loss of data. We may be required to expend significant capital and
other resources to license encryption technology and additional technologies to
protect against security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by any breach.
Failure to prevent security breaches may make it difficult to retain and attract
customers and cause us to spend additional resources that could cause our
operating results to decline.
Risks relating to our Convertible Debentures:
There are a large number of shares underlying our convertible notes and warrants
that are being registered in this prospectus and the sale of these shares may
depress the market price of our common stock.
6
As of March 5, , 2006, we had 186,831,266 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding. In connection with the financing arrangements that we entered into
in December 2005, we also have outstanding secured convertible debentures or an
obligation to issue callable secured convertible notes that may be converted
into an estimated 22,000,000 shares of common stock at current market prices,
and outstanding warrants or an obligation to issue warrants to purchase
9,500,000 shares of common stock.
On March 29, 2006, the closing bid price of our common stock was $.07. The
debentures issued in December are convertible at the lower of $0.15 or 80% of
the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five
trading days immediately preceding the conversion. Therefore, the number of
shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the secured convertible
debentures may increase if the market price of our stock declines. Upon
effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a
part, all of the shares, including all of the shares issuable upon conversion of
the notes and upon exercise of our warrants, may be sold without restriction.
The sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price of our common
stock.
The variable price feature of our convertible debentures could require us to
issue a substantially greater number of shares, which will cause dilution to our
existing stockholders. The number of shares we will be required to issue upon
conversion of the debentures will increase if the market price of our stock
decreases. This will cause dilution to our existing stockholders.
The following is an example of the amount of shares of our common stock issuable
upon conversion of the entire $1,200,000 in convertible debentures, based on
market prices assumed to be 25%, 50% and 75% below the closing price on March
29, 2006 of $0.07:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
% BELOW MARKET PRICE PER SHARE WITH 20% DISCOUNT NUMBER OF SHARES PERCENTAGE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25% $0.0525 $0.042 28,571,428 13.3%
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
50% $0.035 $0.028 42,857,142 18.7%

75% $0.0175 $0.014 85,714,285 31.5%
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------
* Based upon 186,831,266 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 29,
2006.
The lower the stock price, the greater the number of shares issuable under the
convertible debentures
The number of shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures is determined by
the market price of our common stock prevailing at the time of each conversion.
The lower the market price, the greater the number of shares issuable under the
debentures. Upon issuance of the shares, to the extent that holders of those
shares will attempt to sell the shares into the market, these sales may further
reduce the market price of our common stock. This in turn will increase the
number of shares issuable under the debentures. This may lead to an escalation
of lower market prices and an increasing number of shares to be issued. A larger
number of shares issuable at a discount to a continuously declining stock price
will expose our shareholders to greater dilution and a reduction of the value of
their investment.
A lower stock price will provide an incentive to Cornell to sell additional
shares into the market
The number of shares that Cornell will receive under the convertible debentures
is determined by the market price of our common stock prevailing at the time of
each conversion. The lower the market price, the greater the number of shares
issuable under the debentures. As a result, Cornell will have an incentive to
sell as large a number of shares as possible to obtain a lower conversion price.
This will lead to greater dilution of exiting shareholders and a reduction of
the value of their investment
The issuance of our stock upon conversion of the debentures could encourage
short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the future decline of
our stock price and materially dilute existing stockholders' equity and voting
rights.
The debentures have the potential to cause significant downward pressure on the
price of our common stock. This is particularly the case if the shares being
placed into the market exceed the market's ability to absorb the increased
number of shares of stock. Such an event could place further downward pressure
on the price of our common stock, which presents an opportunity to short sellers
and others to contribute to the future decline of our stock price. If there are
significant short sales of our stock, the price decline that would result from
this activity will cause the share price to decline more so, which, in turn, may
cause long holders of the stock to sell their shares thereby contributing to
sales of stock in the market. If there is an imbalance on the sell side of the
market for the stock, our stock price will decline. If this occurs, the number
of shares of our common stock that is issuable upon conversion of the debentures
will increase, which will materially dilute existing stockholders' equity and
voting rights.
If we are required for any reason to repay our outstanding secured convertible
debentures, we would be required to deplete our working capital, if available,
or raise additional funds. Our failure to repay the secured convertible
debentures, if required, could result in legal action against us, which could
require the sale of substantial assets.
In December 2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreements for the sale
of an aggregate of $1,200,000 principal amount of secured

convertible debentures of which to date $400,000 has been funded. Pursuant to a
securities purchase agreement, the investor has committed to advance an
additional $350,000 at the time of filing of the registration statement of which
this prospectus forms a part and $450,000 at the time of effectiveness of the
registration statement. These debentures are due and payable, with interest,
three years from their respective dates of issuance, unless sooner converted
into shares of our common stock. Any event of default such as our failure to
repay the principal or interest when due, our failure to issue shares of common
stock upon conversion by the holder, or our failure to timely file a
registration statement or have such registration statement declared effective,
could require the early repayment of the convertible debentures. We anticipate
that the full amount of the convertible debentures will be converted into shares
of our common stock, in accordance with the terms of these debentures. If we
were required to repay the convertible debentures, we would be required to use
our limited working capital and raise additional funds. If we were unable to
repay the debentures when required, the holders could commence legal action
against us and foreclose on all of our assets to recover the amounts due. Any
such action would require us to curtail or cease operations.
The large number of shares issuable upon conversion of the secured convertible
debentures may result in a change of control
As there is no limit on the number of shares that may be issued upon conversion
of the convertible debentures, these issuances may result in Cornell controlling
us. It may be able to exert substantial influence over all matters submitted to
a vote of the shareholders, including the election and removal of directors,
amendments to our articles of incorporation and by-laws, and the approval of a
merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. In
addition, this concentration of ownership could inhibit the management of our
business and affairs and have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
change in control or impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other
business combination which our shareholder, may view favorably.
The lower the stock price, the greater the number of shares issuable upon
conversion of the convertible debentures
The number of shares that Cornell will receive upon conversion of the
convertible debentures is determined by the market price of our common stock
prevailing at the time of each conversion. The lower the market price, the
greater the number of shares issuable upon conversion. Upon issuance of the
shares, to the extent that Cornell will attempt to sell the shares into the
market, these sales may further reduce the market price of our common stock.
This in turn will increase the number of shares issuable upon subsequent
conversions. This may lead to an escalation of lower market prices and ever
greater numbers of shares to be issued. A larger number of shares issuable at a
discount to a continuously declining stock price will expose our shareholders to
greater dilution and a reduction of the value of their investment.
The following risks relate principally to our common stock and its market value:
There is a limited market for our common stock
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "RMSG.OB."
There is a limited trading market for our common stock. Accordingly, there can
be no assurance as to the liquidity of any markets that may develop for our
common stock, the ability of holders of our common stock to sell our common
stock, or the prices at which holders may be able to sell our common stock.
Our stock price may be volatile
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could
fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are
beyond our control, including:
o technological innovations or new products and services by us or our
competitors;
o additions or departures of key personnel;
o sales of our common stock
o our ability to integrate operations, technology, products and services;
o our ability to execute our business plan;
o operating results below expectations;
o loss of any strategic relationship;
o industry developments;
o economic and other external factors; and
o period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.
Because we have a limited operating history with limited revenues to date, you
may consider any one of these factors to be material. Our stock price may
fluctuate widely as a result of any of the above.
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced
significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating
performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also
materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the
future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock
8
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate
paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our
common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and
economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may
consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less
valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price
appreciates.
Our common stock may be deemed penny stock with a limited trading market
Our common stock is currently listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board which
is generally considered to be a less efficient market than markets such as
NASDAQ or other national exchanges, and which may cause difficulty in conducting
trades and difficulty in obtaining future financing. Further, our securities are
subject to the "penny stock rules" adopted pursuant to Section 15 (g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act. The penny stock
rules apply to non-NASDAQ companies whose common stock trades at less than $5.00
per share or which have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000
if the company has been operating for three or more years). Such rules require,
among other things, that brokers who trade "penny stock" to persons other than
"established customers" complete certain documentation, make suitability
inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning
trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote
information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade
"penny stock" because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a
result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such
securities is limited. In the event that we remain subject to the "penny stock
rules" for any significant period, there may develop an adverse impact on the
market, if any, for our securities. Because our securities are subject to the
"penny stock rules," investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our
securities. Further, for companies whose securities are traded in the OTC
Bulletin Board, it is more difficult: (i) to obtain accurate quotations, (ii) to
obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services, such as
the Dow Jones News Service, generally do not publish press releases about such
companies, and (iii) to obtain needed capital.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We and our representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements
that are "forward-looking," including statements contained in this prospectus
and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reports to our
stockholders and news releases. All statements that express expectations,
estimates, forecasts or projections are forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Act. In addition, other written or oral statements which
constitute forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our behalf. Words
such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks,"
"estimates," "projects," "forecasts," "may," "should," variations of such words
and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and
involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict.
Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is
expressed or forecasted in or suggested by such forward-looking statements. We
undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Important
factors on which such statements are based are assumptions concerning
uncertainties, including but not limited to uncertainties associated with the
following:
(a) volatility or decline of our stock price;
(b) potential fluctuation in quarterly results;
(c) our failure to earn revenues or profits;
(d) inadequate capital and barriers to raising the additional capital or to
obtaining the financing needed to implement its business plans;
(e) inadequate capital to continue business;
(f) changes in demand for our products and services;
(g) rapid and significant changes in markets;
(h) litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties;
(i) insufficient revenues to cover operating costs.
USE OF PROCEEDS
This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and
sold from time to time by selling stockholder. We will receive no proceeds from
the sale of shares of common stock in this offering. However, we will receive
proceeds from the exercise, if any, of the warrants owned by the selling
stockholder. Assuming cash exercise of the warrants, we may receive up to
approximately $1,000,000. We expect to use these funds for working capital
purposes.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements. In addition to
historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this
quarterly report contain forward-looking information that involves risks and
uncertainties.
Overview
We are a software company and have developed a proprietary system that enables
software programs and other business applications to connect to wired and
wireless devices, such as cellular phones, computers and personal digital
assistants. This system, known as the Roaming Messenger Platform, serves as a
gateway to the mobile world for a variety of software programs and other
business applications such as those used in emergency response, homeland
security, logistics, healthcare and financial services.
The Roaming Messenger Platform allows applications to send out smart messages,
or "messengers," to mobile devices. Unlike regular e-mail messages, these
software messengers are encrypted, and have the ability to roam automatically
among mobile devices, trying to get the attention of the user, confirm receipt,
deliver interactive content, and transmit real-time responses back to the
sending application. They also have the ability to move independently to
alternative recipients in an organization's chain of command if the originally
intended recipient does not respond in a timely fashion.
For example, a messenger may try to locate a person on his or her computer, and
if there is no response, move to that person's cellular phone, and subsequently
move to that person's personal digital assistants. If still unanswered, the
messenger will travel automatically to the next person with authority to act on
the message, such as a superior of the originally intended recipient.
We have rolled out an improved version of the Roaming Messenger Platform which
is being offered as a standalone server product within an organization or a
hosted service on the Internet. It can be integrated into existing or new
business systems and is distributed primarily via a value-added-reseller ("VAR")
or private labeled model where it is an add-on to existing solutions.
We have forged a number of relationships with small to medium sized companies in
the Homeland Security and Public Safety sector. While we have validated the need
for the unique capabilities of Roaming Messenger in these markets, revenue has
yet to be derived due to the lengthy sales cycles associated with channel sales.
Also, it took much longer than anticipated for federal funds to flow into the
information technology procurement departments of government and public safety
agencies to which most of our channel partners sell.
We have generated only minimal revenues from the Roaming Messenger Platform. To
date, almost all of our revenues have been generated by Warp 9, Inc., our
wholly-owned subsidiary, that offers web-based e-commerce software products and
services to the catalog and direct marketing industry.
As of the date of this report we are actively work with channel partners in the
homeland security and public safety sector. We have also begun preliminary
business development with partners in the healthcare and enterprise mobility
markets. While Roaming Messenger is a horizontal platform with application in
many markets, our primary sales and marketing strategy continues to be
vertically focused.
Our growth strategy consists of three phases:
o During Phase I we will focus our marketing efforts on the Homeland Security
and Public Safety markets o During Phase II we will focus on the enterprise
markets for business process management and communication applications. o During
Phase III we will focus on the consumer markets for application such as mobile
commerce and mobile gaming.
In executing our growth strategy, strategic acquisition of synergistic companies
may be explored. When deciding on potential acquisition candidates, we will
consider whether the candidate offers (i) access to customers and (ii)
complementary products or services.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations, including the discussion on liquidity and capital resources, are
based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation
of these financial statements 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. On an ongoing basis,
management re-evaluates its estimates and judgments, particularly those related
to the determination of the estimated recoverable amounts of trade accounts
receivable, impairment of long-lived assets, revenue recognition and deferred
tax assets. We believe the following critical accounting policies require more
significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of the financial
statements.
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may
arise if any of our customers are unable to make required payments. Management
specifically analyzes the age of customer balances, historical bad debt
experience, customer credit-worthiness, and changes in customer payment terms
when making estimates of the uncollectability of our trade accounts receivable
balances. If we determine that the financial conditions of any of our customers
deteriorated, whether due to customer specific or general economic issues,
increases in the
10
allowance may be made. Accounts receivable are written off when all collection
attempts have failed.
We follow the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 101, "Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements" for revenue recognition and SAB 104. Under
Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, four conditions must be met before revenue can be
recognized: (i) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii)
delivery has occurred or service has been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or
determinable and (iv) collection is reasonably assured.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this
method, to the extent that we believe that the deferred tax asset is not likely
to be recovered, a valuation allowance is provided. In making this
determination, we consider estimated future taxable income and taxable timing
differences expected in the future. Actual results may differ from those
estimates.
Results Of Operations
Years Ended June 30, 2005 And 2004
Total revenue for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2005 increased by
$230,440 to $1,184,212 from $953,772 in the prior year. Revenue was derived
principally from our Warp 9 Inc. subsidiary. The increase in revenue was the
result of an increase in Warp 9 Inc.'s client base and reselling of third party
online marketing service.
The cost of revenue, in terms of percentage of revenue, for the twelve month
period ending June 30, 2005 was 34% as compared to 14% for the twelve-month
period ending June 30, 2004. This increase in cost of revenue was primarily due
to the reselling of third party online marketing services.
Total costs and expenses for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2005
increased by $1,397,472 from $1,849,398 in 2004 to $3,246,870 in 2005. They
consisted primarily of selling, general and administrative expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,261,784 during the
twelve months ended June 30, 2005 to $2,735,890 from $1,474,106 in the prior
year. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses were the
primarily caused by the increased of (i) $454,688 sales and marketing salaries
and expenses, (ii) $84,567 in legal expenses, (ii) $90,868 in rent, (iii)
$30,398 in corporate and health insurance premiums (iv) $59,850 in office and
travel expenses, and (v) $459,482 in non-cash expenses. As a result of vacating
its previous office space in October 2004, we recognized a one-time charge of
$122,852 for leasehold improvements and remaining rent expenses under the lease
agreement.
Non-cash expenses for the year ended June 30, 2005 totaled $459,482 in warrant
and stock compensation in lieu of payment to our consultants and independent
contractors for business development and financial advisory services. The value
of the warrants was determined using the Black Scholes model.
Expense related to depreciation were $113,775 for the twelve months ended June
30, 2005 as compared to $60,231 for the prior year, and interest expense was
$26,435 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $15,031 in the
prior year.
Research and development expenses increased by $82,144 during the twelve months
ended June 30, 2005 to $397,205 from 315,061 in the prior year due to additional
staff.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2005, our consolidated net loss was
$2,479,100 as compared to a consolidated net loss of $1,035,945 for the twelve
months ended June 30, 2004.
Six-Month Period Ended December 31, 2005 Compared To The Same Period In 2004
Total revenue for the three-month period ending December 31, 2005 was $518,146,
representing an increased of 69% from the three-month period ending December 31,
2004 of $307,228. Almost all the increase is attributed to the revenue growth
from the Warp 9 Inc. operation.
The cost of revenue for the three-month period ending December 31, 2005 was 31%
as compared to 46% for the three-month period ending December 31, 2004. The
decrease in the cost of revenue is a result of the increased sales of higher
margin Warp 9 e-commerce software products and services.
Total operating expenses was $652,964 for the three months ended December 31,
2005 as compared to $725,727 for the three months ended December 31, 2004.
The $652,964 operating expenses includes total non-cash charges of $50,995 which
includes (i) $50,000 expense for the issuance of unregistered common stock for
business development and advisory services, (ii) $995 expense for the issuance
of warrants to business development contractors in lieu of cash payment for
their services. The value of the warrants was determined using the Black Scholes
model. The value of unregistered common stock was the same as closing price of
the Company's public stock at the time of issuance.
11
Operating costs are expected to exceed revenue in the foreseeable future as the
Company continues to increase sales and marketing efforts as well as increasing
staff.
Total other income and expenses was ($101,017) for the three months ended
December 31, 2005, as compared to ($2,657) for the three months ended December
31, 2004. The increase is the result a $100,000 charge for the conversion
feature of the convertible debenture with Cornell Capital on December 28, 2005,
in accordance with EITF 98-5.
For the three months ended December 31, 2005, the Company's consolidated net
loss was ($395,167) as compared to a consolidated net loss of ($562,186) for the
three months ended December 31, 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had cash at December 31, 2005 of $268,932 as compared to cash of
$237,529 as of June 30, 2005. The Company had net working capital deficit (i.e.
the difference between current assets and current liabilities) of ($408,430) at
December 31, 2005 as compared to a net working capital deficit of ($308,364) at
June 30, 2005. Cash flow utilized by operating activities was ($583,124) for the
six months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to cash utilized for operating
activities of ($846,324) during the six months ended December 31, 2004. Cash
flow used in investing activities was ($26,462) for the six months ended
December 31, 2005 as compared to cash used in investing activities of ($49,065)
during the six months ended December 31, 2004. Cash flow provided by financing
activities was $640,988 for the six months ended December 31, 2005 as compared
to cash used by financing activities of ($4,453) for the six months ended
December 31, 2004.
On August 11, 2005, the Company was approved for a $100,000 revolving line of
credit from Bank of America at an interest of prime plus 4 percentage points.
This line of credit is not secured by assets of the Company. The effective
interest rate of the line of credit at December 31, 2005 was 11%. As of December
31, 2005, $99,658 was borrowed under this line of credit
On December 28, 2005, we consummated a securities purchase agreement with
Cornell Capital Partners L.P. providing for the sale by us to Cornell of our 10%
secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $1,200,000
of which $400,000 was advanced immediately. The second installment of $350,000
will be advanced upon filing of the registration statement of which this
prospectus forms a part. The last installment of $450,000 will be advanced two
business days prior to the date the registration statement is declared
effective.
The debentures mature on the third anniversary of the date of issuance and we
are not required to make any payments until the maturity date.
Holders of the debentures may convert at any time amounts outstanding under the
debentures into shares of our common stock at a conversion price per share equal
to the lesser of (i) $0.15 or (ii) 80% of the lowest volume weighted average
price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the
conversion date as quoted by Bloomberg, LP. Cornell has agreed not to short any
of the shares of Common Stock.
We have the right to redeem, upon three-business day notice, a portion or all
amounts outstanding under the debenture prior to the maturity date at a 20%
redemption premium provided that the closing bid price of our common stock is
less than $0.15. In addition, in the event of a redemption, we are required to
issue to Cornell 50,000 shares of common stock for each $100,000 redeemed, which
shares are not being registered herewith. Under the terms of the debenture, the
holder has the right to convert all or part of the debenture within the
three-day period following a redemption notice.
We also issued to Cornell five-year warrants to purchase 1,500,000, 4,000,000
and 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.08, $0.10 and $0.12, respectively.
In connection with the purchase agreement, we also entered into a registration
rights agreement with Cornell providing for the registration of the shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures and exercise of the
warrants. We are obligated to use our best efforts to cause the registration
statement to be declared effective no later than April 27, 2006 and to insure
that the registration statement remains in effect until all of the shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures and exercise of the
warrants have been sold. In the event of a default of our obligations under the
registration rights agreement, including our agreement to file the registration
statement no later than January 27, 2006, or if the registration statement is
not declared effective by April 27, 2006, we are required to pay to Cornell, as
liquidated damages, for each month that the registration statement has not been
filed or declared effective, as the case may be, either a cash amount or shares
of our common stock equal to 2% of the liquidated value of the Debentures.
Our obligations under the purchase agreement are secured by substantially all of
our assets. As further security for our obligations thereunder, Jon Lei, our
Chief Executive Officer, has granted a security interest in 2,000,000 shares of
common stock that he owns.
Also on December 28, 2005, we terminated the Periodic Equity Investment
Agreement dated March 28, 2005 with Wings Fund, Inc. That agreement provided for
the sale to Wings of up to $3,000,000 worth of our common stock at our
discretion in twelve monthly increments of up to $250,000 commencing in
September 2005. On the date of termination of that agreement, we had sold
approximately 4,279,174 shares of common stock for total proceeds of $272,147.
12
We believe that the funds received and to be received from Cornell will be
sufficient to fund and expand our business over a 12 months period. We
anticipate that the full amount of the convertible debentures will be converted
into shares of our common stock, in accordance with the terms of these
debentures. If we were required to repay the convertible debentures, we would be
required to use our limited working capital and raise additional funds. We
anticipate that we will obtain any additional required working capital through
the private placement of Common Stock to domestic accredited investors pursuant
to Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or to
offshore investors pursuant to Regulation S of the Act. There is no assurance
that we will obtain the additional working capital that we need through the
private placement of Common Stock. In addition, such financing may not be
available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us.

BUSINESS
Company History
We are a Nevada corporation formerly known as Latinocare Management Corporation.
We were originally incorporated in Colorado in July 1983. Effective April 1,
2003, we completed a Plan and Agreement of Reorganization with Warp 9, Inc., a
Delaware corporation and effective June 30, 2003, we completed a second Plan and
Agreement of Reorganization with Warp 9. Pursuant to the such reorganization,
Latinocare acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Warp 9 in
exchange for approximately 131,026,173 newly issued shares of Latinocare common
stock, Warp 9 became a wholly owned subsidiary of Latinocare, and the
shareholders of Warp 9 became the controlling shareholders of Latinocare. Prior
to its business combination with Warp 9, Latinocare had no tangible assets and
insignificant liabilities. Subsequent to the reorganization we changed our name
to Roaming Messenger, Inc.
General
We are a software company and have developed a proprietary system that enables
software programs and other business applications to connect to wired and
wireless devices, such as cellular phones, computers and personal digital
assistants. This system, known as the Roaming Messenger Platform, serves as a
gateway to the mobile world for a variety of software programs and other
business applications such as those used in emergency response, homeland
security, logistics, healthcare and financial services.
The Roaming Messenger Platform allows applications to send out smart messages,
or "messengers," to mobile devices. Unlike regular e-mail messages, these
software messengers are encrypted, and have the ability to roam automatically
among mobile devices, trying to get the attention of the user, confirm receipt,
deliver interactive content, and transmit real-time responses back to the
sending application. They also have the ability to move independently to
alternative recipients in an organization's chain of command if the originally
intended recipient does not respond in a timely fashion.
For example, a software messenger may try to locate a person on his or her
computer, and, if there is no response, move to that person's cellular phone,
and subsequently move to that person's personal digital assistants. If still
unanswered, the messenger will travel automatically to the next person with
authority to act on the message, such as the superior of the originally intended
recipient.
We have generated only minimal revenues from the Roaming Messenger Platform. To
date, almost all of our revenues have been generated by Warp 9, Inc., our
wholly-owned subsidiary, that offers web-based e-commerce software products and
services to the catalog and direct marketing industry. However, in the future,
we believe that a large majority of our revenues will come from the sale of our
Roaming Messenger technology.
Roaming Messenger Product Line
The Roaming Messenger Platform is available in two deployment options:
o Hosted Service - A carrier-grade system, managed and hosted by the Company, is
available to customers over the Internet. Customers do not need to install any
additional hardware or software internally to access Roaming Messenger
technology. Customers pay a monthly or annual subscription fee to access this
service.
o Self-Hosted Gateway - For customers that want total control over their
communications infrastructure, they can license the RM Platform software and
install it on their own hardware and network. Customers pay a one-time license
fee based on the number of users for the Self-Hosted Gateway.
Applications For Roaming Messenger
Emergency Response
We believe that Roaming Messenger can be the mobile messaging extension for any
Emergency Response Management system in automating the notification,
authorization, and deployment of an Emergency Response Team. For example, a
response team can be dynamically assembled by sending off a Roaming Messenger to
the mobile devices of Emergency Managers, informing them of the situation and
requesting authorization to deploy a Response Team. After receiving
authorization, Roaming Messenger could then proceed to all selected Tier 1 First
Responders, get their acknowledgment and also deliver the emergency incident
report.
Security
Roaming Messenger can be integrated with any security monitoring system to
deliver real-time notification with actionable responses. Notifications
regarding security breaches such as fire alarms, HVAC failures, motion sensors
and restricted access can be enhanced by Roaming Messenger. Responsible
personnel are presented with information regarding the breach, as well as
actions such as informing law enforcement, turning on or off mechanisms to
resolve the breach - all from mobile or desktop devices.
14
Military and Defense
The battlefield is going hi-tech with the goal of enabling real-time command and
control capabilities from the highest to the lowest tactical echelons. Roaming
Messenger can be used for delivering situational awareness and command and
control information to tactical personnel with wireless mobile devices. Roaming
Messenger can facilitate a seamless flow of battle command information across
the battle space by roaming from person to person.
Healthcare
Roaming Messenger can be deployed along side existing healthcare management
systems to improve response time and patient satisfaction within a hospital.
Patient requests or patient monitoring systems can alert appropriate nurses of
problems or escalate accordingly to ensure timely response. When Roaming
Messenger finds the nurse, the nurse accepts that task or delegates it to an
appropriate aide. After the nurse's aide has resolved the patient request,
Roaming Messenger can go back to the nurse, inform the nurse of the resolution
and, if appropriate, log the incident into the hospital's central patient
monitoring system. Communication processes at the doctor's level can also be
automated in the same way.
Real-time Enterprise
The essence of a Real-time Enterprise is event-driven. When something happens,
the people who care about it need to respond. As the workforce becomes
increasingly mobile, Enterprise information systems need to be able to securely
and efficiently contact them. Roaming Messenger is an ideal mobile extension to
any Enterprise system by providing an intelligent message that can track down
appropriate people and obtain approvals to push along the business process.
Whether it is getting an invoice paid, ordering more parts for the production
line or updating a customer management system, Roaming Messenger can be used as
the mobile messaging component.
Manufacturing
For manufacturing businesses, reaching the right people at the right time and
monitoring and assessing critical information from production lines and security
systems can significantly reduce costs and improve employee safety. Roaming
Messenger can be integrated to any manufacturing monitoring system to deliver
actionable notifications regarding equipment failures, security breaches,
chemical spills, and other critical events to responsible technicians, as well
as keep plant managers informed of situation progress and resolution.
Mobile Commerce
Roaming Messenger can also facilitate mobile commerce transactions. For example,
wireless mobile vending solutions today require the physical machine to have a
dedicated Internet connection, which makes mass deployment very difficult and
costly. Using Roaming Messenger, a purchase transaction can be completed with
end-to-end security by allowing the vending machine to piggy-back on the
Internet connection of the user's smart phone or PDA via a local Infrared or
Bluetooth connection. Roaming Messenger can be initiated by the vending machine
to the user's handheld device, request item and payment selections, interact
with an Internet payment server, report inventory and status to a different
server and return back to the vending machine to complete the transaction in
real-time.
Marketing Strategy
We intend to enhance, promote and support the idea that Roaming Messenger is the
most compelling and efficient solution available in the marketplace for mobile
messaging. In order to create a favorable environment for sales, we plan to
undertake advertising and promotion efforts. These efforts will be outsourced
and will require the services of an advertising firm and public relations firm.
We plan to interview various firms and select those most capable of assisting us
with comprehensive advertising and promotion plans. We have recently commenced
building out our marketing department staff to accelerate these efforts. We have
not yet determined the potential costs of our marketing strategy.
We will continue to invest in small test campaigns before committing to large
promotions or marketing campaigns. Our overall marketing strategy is a
three-pronged approach.
o First, we will market to channel sales partners in our target markets. Channel
partners are application developers and system integrators who we believe can
benefit from integrating Roaming Messenger into their products or solutions to
fulfill their mobile messaging requirements.
o Second, we will execute direct marketing campaigns to potential end users of
our technology and make them aware of the capabilities of our technology. o
Third, we will execute direct marketing campaigns to multiple market segments to
see what other markets have an immediate interest for Roaming Messenger
technology. Once a new market is determined to be a hot market, then we shall
execute the First and Second prong of our three-pronged strategy on that new
market.
15
Sales Strategy
We currently have limited number of customers, which generate nominal revenue.We
intend to aggressively promote the Roaming Messenger product in the United
States. We intend to pursue international sales after establishing sales in the
domestic marketplace. Our management has identified the following primary target
market segments for the Roaming Messenger solution:
o Homeland Security
o Emergency Response, Public Health and Safety
o Military and Defense
o Enterprises
o Wireless Carriers
Distribution Channels
Roaming Messenger is a mobile messaging component with applications in many
markets. We intend to sell and license the Roaming Messenger products to system
integrators and application developers in markets such as Homeland Security,
Emergency Response, Military and Enterprise Automation. We intend to sell
Roaming Messenger through channel partners and value-added resellers (VARs) who
are established in their respective vertical markets.
Revenue Model
Our management believes that most of our revenues will come from the licensing
of our Roaming Messenger product, customer training and support, and software
upgrades to application developers and system integrators.
We have decided to use a user-license pricing model for the gateway server
version of Roaming Messenger based on the number of users enabled to send and
receive Roaming Messengers. Customers will be asked to pay a one-time license
fee for each user that is enabled for Roaming Messenger communication. Customers
will then be invited to subscribe to an ongoing service plan (optional) that
would provide training, support, maintenance and software upgrades.
On the hosted, or subscription model, customers pay a monthly fee to us for
access to a Roaming Messenger system hosted and managed by us. The monthly fee
is assessed based on the number of users in the customer's Roaming Messenger
deployment, and on monthly message volume. The hosted version of Roaming
Messenger is in essence a messaging service infrastructure for applications that
are integrated into it.
Proprietary Technology
Our intellectual property portfolio consists of the following patent
applications, which are pending:
Self Contained Business Transaction Capsules
A self-contained business transaction capsule, or eCapsule, is a small
electronic capsule that contains all the necessary data and logic to complete a
business transaction. The eCapsule is a "thin" and "lightweight" small
computer-readable file that is device independent. The eCapsule allows a
business, for example, to encapsulate an individual product or offer into an
intelligent object that is capable of completing entire transactions. The
eCapsule includes data about the product or service being provided, such as the
product price, a textual description, or options of the product or service (a
transaction description). The eCapsule also includes transaction logic or
business logic capable of completing the transaction, such as billing and
shipping information, order routing information, order status information,
shipping status information, and any other transaction rules necessary to
process the transaction. Moreover, the eCapsule is adapted to be broadcasted to,
and stored on, a portable electronic device, such as a mobile wireless-enabled
device, like a cellular telephone, a personal digital assistant (PDA) or a
laptop computer. The application for this patent was filed on January 2, 2001.
Utilizing Mobile Devices as a Communication Proxy for Non-Connected Terminals
This invention is a method and system in which terminals, appliances and
machines without dedicated Internet connections can complete Internet based
transactions by piggy-backing on the connection of the user's
handheld device. An example of an application of this invention is a vending
machine that can conduct electronic wireless payments without having an internal
wireless device that communicates with a server on the Internet. Existing
solutions require the vending machine to be equipped with an internal cell
phone. Using this invention, the vending machine can communicate with the
consumer's handheld device via Infrared or Bluetooth and simply uses the
handheld device as the conduit to the Internet for remote payment processing.
This invention also covers many other applications including secured doorways,
factory floors and smart data acquisition sensors. The application for this
patent was filed on February 21, 2002.
16
A Method of and System for Transmitting a Mobile Agent for Instruction Execution
This invention relates to transmitting a mobile agent for executing programmable
instructions and, more particularly, to transmitting a virtual machine in a
mobile agent to assist instruction execution. This patent application discloses
the actual system implementation of the Roaming Messenger platform using a
mobile agent approach. The application for this patent was filed on December 7,
2004.
A Method of and Instruction Set for Executing Operations on a Device
This invention relates to executable instructions and, more particularly, to
instructions that are executable on a device that receives a mobile agent. This
patent application discloses the actual implementation of the Roaming Messenger
device engine and messenger instruction sets and modes of execution. The
application for this patent was filed on December 7, 2004.
Competition
The market for our products and services is becoming increasingly competitive.
The widespread adoption of open standards may make it easier for new market
entrants and existing competitors to introduce products that compete against
ours. We believe that we will compete primarily on the basis of our unique
ability to encapsulate data and logic into smart software messengers that can
travel automatically among user devices, track down users, deliver interactive
content, and bring decisions and data back to business applications in
real-time. Because we are smaller than most of our competitors, we believe that
we can be more attentive to the needs of our customers than some of our
competitors. As a provider of next-generation mobile data technology, we assess
potential competitors based primarily on the functionality of their products and
the range of services offered by them, the security and scalability of their
product architecture, their customer base and geographic focus and their
capitalization and other resources.
Our potential competitors may be found among various industries, including:
Mobile Access Gateway Vendors And Messaging Solution Providers: companies in
this category include Openwave Systems, 724 Solutions, LogicaCMG, Comverse,
Materna, Nokia and Ericsson.
Alerts Focused Businesses: companies in this area include Xiam, First Hop,
Materna, and Infospace. These companies are competitive in the time-critical
communication application of our technology.
Our competitors have established, and may establish in the future, strategic
relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase their ability
to address the needs of our current and prospective customers. Through these
relationships or independently, current and potential competitors may be able to
adapt more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in
customer requirements, or to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale
of their products to both our existing customers and our potential customers.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully with
existing or new competitors, many of which have greater financial resources,
greater name recognition, more management experience, and longer operating
histories than we have.
Other Products and Services
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Warp 9 Inc., offers two primary web-based
e-commerce software products to the catalog and direct marketing industry.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In February 2006, Jonathan Lei, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and
Bryan Crane, our Vice President of Corporate Development, were indicted by a
federal grand jury in Florida, alleging that they conspired to commit
securities, mail and wire fraud in connection with an offer for private funding
made to Roaming Messenger Inc. over a year ago, in February 2005, by a
surreptitious investment fund formed by the Government. Specifically, the
indictment alleges that Messrs. Lei and Crane conspired with government agents
posing as fund managers to arrange for an illegal payment to be made to the fund
managers as an inducement to that fund making an investment in the Company. We
did not obtain any funding from the entity or the management company that were
posing as prospective investors. The Company was not named in the indictment.

Under the Nevada General Corporation Law and the Company's Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, the Company's directors will have no personal
liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages incurred as
the result of the breach or alleged breach by a director of his "duty of care".
This provision does not apply to the directors' (i) acts or omissions that
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii)
acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests
of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith
on the part of the director, (iii) approval of any transaction from which a
director derives an improper personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show
a reckless disregard for the director's duty to the corporation or its
shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have
been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director's duties, of a risk
of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders, (v) acts or omissions
that constituted an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an
abdication of the director's duty to the corporation or its shareholders, or
(vi) approval of an unlawful dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or
redemption. This provision would generally absolve directors of personal
liability for negligence in the performance of duties, including gross
negligence.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Board Committees
Although we do not currently have an audit committee, the Board of Directors has
adopted a written charter of the audit committee. The Audit Committee is
authorized by the Board of Directors to review, with the Company's independent
accountants, the annual financial statements of the Company prior to
publication, and to review the work of, and approve non-audit services preformed
by, such independent accountants. It is the intention that the Audit Committee
will make annual recommendations to the Board for the appointment of independent
public accountants for the ensuing year. The Audit Committee will also review
the effectiveness of the financial and accounting functions and the
organization, operations and management of the Company. The Audit Committee held
four meetings during fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. As of September 30, 2005,
the Company has not yet appointed a Compensation Committee.
Director Compensation
Directors receive no cash compensation for their services to the Company as
directors, but are reimbursed for expenses actually incurred in connection with
attending meetings of the Board of Directors.
On June 30, 2005, the Company issued 350,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Tom

expect to retain our future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of
our business.

(1) Applicable percentage ownership is based on 186,831,266 shares of common
stock outstanding as of March 29, 2006. Beneficial ownership is determined in
accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares
of common stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of
January 19, 2006 are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such
securities for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such
person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the
percentage ownership of any other person.
(2) Consists of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debentures. For
purposes of calculating Cornell Capital Partners LP's percentage beneficial
ownership, does not include 89,903,200 registered on behalf of this person, as
follows: (i) 80,403,200 shares issuable upon conversion of convertible
debentures and (ii) 9,500,000 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants.
Pursuant to provisions in the convertible debentures and the warrants, Cornell's
beneficial ownership of our common stock is limited to 4.9% of the total
outstanding, which limitation may only be waived upon 61-day notice. Under the
terms of a registration rights agreement between us and Cornell Capital, we are
required to register 90,000,000 shares that may be issued upon conversion of the
convertible debentures. All investment decisions of, and control of, Cornell
Capital Partners are held by its general partner, Yorkville Advisors, LLC. Mark
Angelo, the managing member of Yorkville Advisors, makes the investment
decisions on behalf of and controls Yorkville Advisors.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
During the past two years, there has not been, nor is there currently proposed,
any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or are to be
a party in which the amount involved exceeded or exceeds $60,000 and in which
any director, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of our common stock or
any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will
have a direct or indirect material interest.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following description of our capital stock and provisions of our articles of
incorporation and bylaws, each as amended, is only a summary. You should also
refer to the copies of our articles of incorporation and bylaws which are
included as exhibits to our Report on 10-KSB filed with the SEC on April 10,
2002. Our authorized capital stock consists of 495,000,000 shares of common
stock, par value $0.001 per share and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock $0.001
par value per share. As of March 29, 2006, there are 186,831,266 shares of
common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and
outstanding.
Common Stock
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all
matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Holders of our common stock are
entitled to receive dividends ratably, if any, as may be declared by the board
of directors out of legally available funds, subject to any preferential
dividend rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Upon our liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to
receive ratably our net assets available after the payment of all debts and
other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding preferred
stock. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption
or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and
nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common
stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of
shares of any series of preferred stock which we may designate and issue in the
future without further stockholder approval.
25
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors is authorized without further stockholder approval, to
issue from time to time up to a total of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in
one or more series and to fix or alter the designations, preferences, rights and
any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each series,
including the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights,
term of redemption, redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences and the
number of shares constituting any series or designations of these series without
further vote or action by the stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock may
have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our
management without further action by the stockholders and may adversely affect
the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. The issuance of
preferred stock with voting and conversion rights may adversely affect the
voting power of the holders of common stock, including the loss of voting
control to others. Currently, there are no shares of preferred stock outstanding
and we have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.
Convertible Debentures
On December 28, 2005, we consummated a securities purchase agreement with
Cornell Capital Partners L.P. providing for the sale by us to Cornell of our 10%
secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $1,200,000
of which $400,000 was advanced immediately. The second installment of $350,000
will be advanced upon filing of the registration statement of which this
prospectus forms a part. The last installment of $450,000 will be advanced two
business days prior to the date the registration statement is declared
effective. The debentures mature on the third anniversary of the date of
issuance and we are not required to make any payments until the maturity date.
Holders of the debentures may convert at any time amounts outstanding under the
debentures into shares of our common stock at a conversion price per share equal
to the lesser of (i) $0.15 or (ii) 80% of the lowest volume weighted average
price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the
conversion date as quoted by Bloomberg, LP. Cornell has agreed not to short any
of the shares of Common Stock.
We have the right to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under the
debenture prior to the maturity date at a 20% redemption premium provided that
the closing bid price of our common stock is less than $0.15. In addition, in
the event of a redemption, we are required to issue to Cornell 50,000 shares of
common stock for each $100,000 redeemed.
Warrants
During the fiscal year ended June 2005 we granted warrants to purchase 788,500
shares of our common stock, all of which remain outstanding as of the date
hereof. 100,500 of such warrants are exercisable at $0.10 per share and are
immediately exercisable and expire on September 30, 2006, 271,000 of such
warrants are exercisable at $0.10 per share and are immediately exercisable and
expire on December 31, 2006, 201,000 of such warrants are exercisable at $0.10
per share and are immediately exercisable and expire on March 31, 2007. 15,000
of such warrants are exercisable at $0.10 per share and are immediately
exercisable and expire on April 30, 2010. 201,000 of these warrants are
exercisable at $0.10 per share and expire on June 30, 2007.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2005 we granted warrants to purchase 213,500
shares of our common stock, all of which remain outstanding as of the date
hereof. 50,000 of such warrants are exercisable at $0.20 per share and are
immediately exercisable and expire on March 31, 2008. 163,500 of such warrants

26
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholder, or its pledgees, donees, transferees, or any of its
successors in interest selling shares received from the named selling
stockholder as a gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale-related
transfer after the date of this prospectus (all of whom may be a selling
stockholder) may sell the common stock offered by this prospectus from time to
time on any stock exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which
the common stock is listed or quoted at the time of sale, in the
over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, at
fixed prices that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of
sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at prices otherwise
negotiated. The selling stockholder may sell the common stock by one or more of
the following methods, without limitation:
o Block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell
the common stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the
block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
o An exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of any stock
exchange on which the common stock is listed;
o Ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker
solicits purchases;
o Privately negotiated transactions;
o In connection with short sales of company shares;
o Through the distribution of common stock by any selling stockholder to its
partners, members or stockholders;
o By pledge to secure debts of other obligations;
o In connection with the writing of non-traded and exchange-traded call
options, in hedge transactions and in settlement of other transactions in
standardized or over-the-counter options;
o Purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer
for its account; or
o In a combination of any of the above.
These transactions may include crosses, which are transactions in which the same
broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade. The selling stockholders may
also transfer the common stock by gift. We do not know of any arrangements by
the selling stockholders for the sale of any of the common stock.
The selling stockholders may engage brokers and dealers, and any brokers or
dealers may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate in effecting
sales of the common stock. These brokers or dealers may act as principals, or as
an agent of a selling stockholder. Broker-dealers may agree with a selling
stockholder to sell a specified number of the stocks at a stipulated price per
share. If the broker-dealer is unable to sell common stock acting as agent for a
selling stockholder, it may purchase as principal any unsold shares at the
stipulated price. Broker-dealers who acquire common stock as principals may
thereafter resell the shares from time to time in transactions in any stock
exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which the common stock is
then listed, at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at
prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions.
Broker-dealers may use block transactions and sales to and through
broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. The
selling stockholders may also sell the common stock in accordance with Rule 144
or Rule 144A under the Securities Act, rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the
shares of common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through
registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
From time to time, one or more of the selling stockholders may pledge,
hypothecate or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares owned by
them. The pledgees, secured parties or person to whom the shares have been
hypothecated will, upon foreclosure in the event of default, be deemed to be
selling stockholders. The number of a selling stockholder's shares offered under
this prospectus will decrease as and when it takes such actions. The plan of
distribution for that selling stockholder's shares will otherwise remain
unchanged. In addition, a selling stockholder may, from time to time, sell the
shares short, and, in those instances, this prospectus may be delivered in
connection with the short sales and the shares offered under this prospectus may
be used to cover short sales.
To the extent required under the Securities Act, the aggregate amount of selling
stockholders' shares being offered and the terms of the offering, the names of
any agents, brokers, dealers or underwriters, any applicable commission and
other material facts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an
accompanying prospectus supplement or a post-effective amendment to the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, as appropriate. Any
underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents participating in the distribution of
the common stock may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts,
concessions, commissions or fees from a selling stockholder and/or purchasers of
selling stockholders' shares, for whom they may act (which compensation as to a
particular broker-dealer might be less than or in excess of customary
commissions). Neither we nor any selling stockholder can presently estimate the
amount of any such compensation.
27
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents that
participate in the distribution of the common stock may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts,
concessions, commissions or fees received by them and any profit on the resale
of the securities sold by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions. If a selling stockholder is deemed to be an underwriter, the
selling stockholder may be subject to certain statutory liabilities including,
but not limited to Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5
under the Exchange Act. Selling stockholders who are deemed underwriters within
the meaning of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act. The SEC staff is of a view that selling
stockholders who are registered broker-dealers or affiliates of registered
broker-dealers may be underwriters under the Securities Act. We will not pay any
compensation or give any discounts or commissions to any underwriter in
connection with the securities being offered by this prospectus.
A selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers
and the broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the common stock in the
course of hedging the positions they assume with that selling stockholder,
including, without limitation, in connection with distributions of the common
stock by those broker-dealers. A selling stockholder may enter into option or
other transactions with broker-dealers, who may then resell or otherwise
transfer those common stock. A selling stockholder may also loan or pledge the
common stock offered hereby to a broker-dealer and the broker-dealer may sell
the common stock offered by this prospectus so loaned or upon a default may sell
or otherwise transfer the pledged common stock offered by this prospectus.
The selling stockholders and other persons participating in the sale or
distribution of the common stock will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including
Regulation M. This regulation may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any
of the common stock by the selling stockholders and any other person. The
anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of common
stock in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their
affiliates. Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the
distribution of the common stock to engage in market-making activities with
respect to the particular common stock being distributed for a period of up to
five business days before the distribution. These restrictions may affect the
marketability of the common stock and the ability of any person or entity to
engage in market-making activities with respect to the common stock.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder and any brokers, dealers and
agents who may be deemed to be underwriters, if any, of the common stock offered
by this prospectus, against specified liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act. The selling stockholder has agreed to indemnify us against
specified liabilities.
The common stock offered by this prospectus was originally issued to the selling
stockholders pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, as amended. We agreed to register the common stock issued to the
selling stockholders under the Securities Act, and to keep the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part effective until all of the
securities registered under this registration statement have been sold. We have
agreed to pay all expenses incident to the registration of the common stock held
by the selling stockholders in connection with this offering, but all selling
expenses related to the securities registered shall be borne by the individual
holders of such securities pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of
securities so registered on their behalf.
We cannot assure you that the selling stockholders will sell all or any portion
of the common stock offered by this prospectus. In addition, we cannot assure
you that a selling stockholder will not transfer the shares of our common stock
by other means not described in this prospectus.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the common stock has been passed upon by Sichenzia Ross Friedman
Ference LLP, New York, New York.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT
LIABILITIES
Under the Nevada General Corporation Law and our Articles of Incorporation, as
amended, our directors will have no personal liability to us or our stockholders
for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or alleged breach by a
director of his "duty of care". This provision does not apply to the directors'
(i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and
culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions that a director believes to be
contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that
involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) approval of
any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit, (iv)
acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director's duty to the
corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was
aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a
director's duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its
shareholders, (v) acts or omissions that constituted an unexcused pattern of
inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the
corporation or its shareholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful dividend,
distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would generally
absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of
duties, including gross negligence.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons
pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the
opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF PROVISIONS OF NEVADA STATE LAW
We may be or in the future we may become subject to Nevada's control share law.
A corporation is subject to Nevada's control share law if it has more than 200
stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of
Nevada, and it does business in Nevada or through an affiliated corporation.
The law focuses on the acquisition of a "controlling interest" which means the
ownership of outstanding voting shares sufficient, but for the control share
law, to enable the acquiring person to exercise the following proportions of the
voting power of the corporation in the election of directors: (i) one-fifth or
more but less than one-third, (ii) one-third or more but less than a majority,
or (iii) a majority or more. The ability to exercise such voting power may be
direct or indirect, as well as individual or in association with others.
The effect of the control share law is that the acquiring person, and those
acting in association with it, obtains only such voting rights in the control
shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders of the corporation,
approved at a special or annual meeting of stockholders. The control share law
contemplates that voting rights will be considered only once by the other
stockholders. Thus, there is no authority to strip voting rights from the
control shares of an acquiring person once those rights have been approved. If
the stockholders do not grant voting rights to the control shares acquired by an
acquiring person, those shares do not become permanent non-voting shares. The
acquiring person is free to sell its shares to others. If the buyers of those
shares themselves do not acquire a controlling interest, their shares do not
become governed by the control share law.
If control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has
acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting power, any
stockholder of record, other than an acquiring person, who has not voted in
favor of approval of voting rights is entitled to demand fair value for such
stockholder's shares.
Nevada's control share law may have the effect of discouraging takeovers of the
corporation.
In addition to the control share law, Nevada has a business combination law
which prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada corporations and
"interested stockholders" for three years after the "interested stockholder"
first becomes an "interested stockholder" unless the corporation's board of
directors approves the combination in advance. For purposes of Nevada law, an
"interested stockholder" is any person who is (i) the beneficial owner, directly
or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding
voting shares of the corporation, or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the
corporation and at any time within the three previous years was the beneficial
owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the
then outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term "business
combination" is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any kind of transaction
that would allow a potential acquiror to use the corporation's assets to finance
the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own interests rather than the
interests of the corporation and its other stockholders.
The effect of Nevada's business combination law is to potentially discourage
parties interested in taking control of us from doing so if it cannot obtain the
approval of our board of directors.

ROSE, SNYDER & JACOBS
A CORPORATION OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Roaming Messenger, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Roaming
Messenger, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation) and Subsidiary (collectively referred to
as the "Company") as of June 30, 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' deficit and cash flows for the years
then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards established by the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Roaming
Messenger, Inc. and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then
ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and
negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these
matters are also described in note 2. The consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

ROAMING MESSENGER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2005 AND 2004
1. ORGANIZATION
Roaming Messenger, Inc., formerly known as Latinocare Management Corporation
("LMC), originally known as JNS Marketing, Inc. was incorporated in Colorado in
1983, and then reincorporated in Nevada.
On April 1, 2003, LMC a publicly traded company, entered into a Plan and
Agreement of Reorganization which resulted in Warp 9, Inc. ("Warp 9") becoming a
wholly-owned subsidiary of LMC. In connection with the transaction, all officers
and directors of LMC resigned and were replaced by the management team and
directors of Warp 9. Subsequently, LMC was renamed to Roaming Messenger Inc. by
the new board of directors. Although from a legal perspective, Roaming
Messenger, Inc. acquired Warp 9, Inc., the transaction is viewed as a
recapitalization of Warp 9, Inc., accompanied by an issuance of stock by Warp 9,
Inc. to the shareholders of Roaming Messenger, Inc. This is because Roaming
Messenger, Inc. did not have operations immediately prior to the transaction,
and following the transaction, Warp 9, Inc. was the operating company.
Warp 9, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware, under the name of
eCommerceland, on August 27, 1999. The Company, based in Goleta, California,
began operations October 1, 1999. Prior to October 1, 1999, the Company was
operated as WARP 9 Technologies, LLC ("LLC"), a California limited liability
company. LLC was merged with and into eCommerceland effective at its close of
business, September 30, 1999, and on December 21, 2000 changed its name to Warp
9, Inc. For accounting and reporting purposes, the "merger" was considered a
continuation of the same business, under a different type of entity. The
operations and ownership of Warp 9, Inc. were substantially the same as LLC. The
Company's primary source of income is service of their Warp 9 contracts, which
relates to Internet data service and fully hosted web based software products.
Roaming Messenger, Inc. and Warp 9, Inc. (collectively referred to as the
"Company")'s strategy is to provide a proprietary solution for real-time
communication over wired and wireless devices. The Company's flagship product,
Roaming Messenger, is a system for delivering real-time information for homeland
security, emergency response, military and enterprise applications. Unlike
solutions based on existing messaging technology such as e-mail, text messaging,
and voicemail, Roaming Messenger packages time-critical information into smart
messages. These messages automatically roam throughout the wired and wireless
worlds - from mobile devices to desktop PCs to central servers - tracking down
people and getting responses in real-time.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations,
realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of
business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments
that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The
Company's losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going
concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion.
The Company has funded its operation through the sale of its common stock
through private offerings. The Company will be selling securities through
private placements and, as discussed in note 11, through its Periodic Equity
Investment Agreement . Management believes, but there is no assurance, that the
Company will obtain the additional working capital that it needs through the
sale of its Common Stock. The Company has incurred operating deficits since
inception, which are expected to continue until its business model is fully
developed.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company extends credit to its customers, who are located primarily in
California. Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade
terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers'
financial condition. Management reviews accounts receivable on a regular basis,
based on contracted terms and how recently payments have been received to
determine if any such amounts will potentially be uncollected. The Company
includes any balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its allowance
for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed,
the receivable is written off. Based on the information available, management
believes the Company's accounts receivable are all collectible.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes income when the service is provided or when product is
delivered. We present revenue, net of customer incentives. Most of the income is
generated from monthly fees from clients who subscribe to the Company's fully
hosted web products on terms averaging six months to one year. When the term
ends, clients normally go on a month-to-month basis or extend the contract for
another six months to one year.
We provide online marketing services that we purchase from third parties. The
gross revenue presented in our statement of operations is in accordance with
EITF No. 99-19.
We also offer professional services such as development services. The fees for
development services constitute a separate unit of accounting in accordance with
EITF No. 00-21, and are recognized as the work is performed.
Upfront fee for development services or other customer services are deferred
until certain implementation or contractual milestones have been achieved.
Deferred income for the fiscal year ended, June 30, 2005, was $26,667.
For the fiscal year ended, June 30, 2005, monthly fee from web products and
associated service fees account for 55% of the Company's total revenues,
professional services account for 23% and the remaining 22% of total revenues
are from resale of third party products and services.
For the fiscal year ended, June 30, 2004, monthly fee from web products and
associated service fees account for 75% of the Company's total revenues,
professional services account for 20% and the remaining 5% of total revenues are
from resale of third party products and services.
RETURNS POLICY
On all service offerings such as web based e-commerce products, or hosted
Roaming Messenger service, there are no returns. Monthly fees are assessed and
revenue is recognized at the end of every month, after service has been
provided. Some higher paying customers may have service level agreements where
we guarantee system uptime such as 99% of the time per month. If we fall below
the agreed upon level of uptime, we shall credit one day of service fee for each
hour our system is down up to a maximum of one monthly fee. This guarantee only
covers downtime as a result of failure in the Company's hardware, software or
gross negligence. Historical, the Company has not had to issue any credits for
such returns.
COST OF REVENUE
Cost of revenue includes the direct costs of operating the Company's network,
including telecommunications charges and internet marketing charges.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and
development costs were $397,205 and $315,061 for the years ended June 30, 2005
and 2004, respectively.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements.
Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include the
allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimate of useful lives of property and
equipment, the deferred tax valuation allowance, and the fair value of stock
options and warrants. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at
cost, which approximates their fair value, due to the relatively short maturity
of these instruments. As of June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company's capital lease
obligations and notes payable have stated borrowing rates that are consistent
with those currently available to the Company and, accordingly, the Company
believes the carrying value of these debt instruments approximates their fair
value.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and are depreciated or amortized
using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Furniture, fixtures & equipment 7 Years
Computer equipment 5 Years
Commerce server 5 Years
Computer software 3-5 Years
Leasehold improvements Length of the lease
Property and equipment assets with an original cost of $199,418 and $115,084 at
June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively were leased under capitalized leases.
Amortization of assets under capitalized leases is included in depreciation and
amortization expense. During the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, additions
to fixed assets through capitalized leases totaled $107,467 and $70,250,
respectively.
During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company vacated its premises on 6144
Calle Real in Santa Barbara. The Company recorded an expense for $23,485,
representing the cost of the abandoned related leasehold improvements,

CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK
The Company operates in a single industry segment. The Company markets its
services to companies and individuals in many industries and geographic
locations. The Company's operations are subject to rapid technological
advancement and intense competition in the telecommunications industry.
Accounts receivable represent financial instruments with potential credit risk.
The Company typically offers its customers credit terms. The Company makes
periodic evaluations of the credit worthiness of its enterprise customers and
other than obtaining deposits pursuant to its policies, it generally does not
require collateral. In the event of nonpayment, the Company has the ability to
terminate services.
ADVERTISING COSTS
The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotional materials when
incurred. Total advertising costs were $53,147 and $20,156 for the years ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for employee stock option grants in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees and related interpretations (APB 25), and has adopted the "disclosure
only" alternative described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation., amended by SFAS No.
148 Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure.
The pro forma net loss and loss per share had the Company accounted for the
options using FAS 123 would have been as follows:
2005 2004
----------- -----------
Net loss as reported $(2,479,100) $(1,035,945)

=========== ===========
Basic and diluted pro forma loss per share $ (0.01) $ (0.01)

NET LOSS PER SHARE
Net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Options to purchase
shares of the Company's stock under its stock option plan and warrants may have
a dilutive effect on the Company's earnings per share in the future but are not
included in the calculation for 2005 and 2004 because they have an antidilutive
effect in these periods.

ROAMING MESSENGER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2005 AND 2004
INCOME TAXES
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based
on provisions of applicable tax law. The measurement of deferred tax assets is
reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance based on the amount of tax
benefits that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Santdards Board ("FASB") issued
revised Statement 123R, "Share-Based Payment," to be effective for annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2005 for Roaming Messenger, Inc. Statement
123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of
employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense in the income
statement. The cost is recognized over the requisite service period based on
fair values measured on grant dates. The new standard may be adopted using
either the modified prospective transition method or the modified retrospective
method. We are currently evaluating our share-based employee compensation
programs, the potential impact of this statement on our consolidated financial
position and results of operations, and the alternative adoption methods.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs - an amendment
of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4." SFAS No. 151 seeks to clarify the accounting for
abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted
material (spoilage) in the determination of inventory carrying costs. The
statement requires such costs to be treated as a current period expense. This
statement is effective for the company on July 2, 2006. The company does not
believe the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will have a material impact on its
financial statements.

4. NOTE PAYABLE
The Company has a note payable to a vendor in the amount of $50,000, bearing
interest at 10%, with monthly interest payment only. The maturity date, which
was originally October 15, 2001, was subsequently amended to March 15, 2002 and
then on demand. At June 30, 2005, the outstanding principal amount on this note
is $30,000. This note is secured by furniture of the Company. See note 8.
5. INCOME TAXES
At June 30, 2005, the Company has available for federal and state income tax
purposes, net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $8,500,000 and
$3,900,000, respectively, which expire at dates that have not been determined.
The difference between the Company's effective income tax rate and the statutory
federal rate for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 relates primarily to
losses incurred for which no tax benefit was recognized, due to the uncertainty
of its realization. The valuation allowance was $3,300,000 and $2,300,000 at
June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, representing an increase of $1,000,000 for
the year ended June 30, 2005. Because of statutory "ownership changes" the
amount of net operating losses which may be utilized in future years are subject
to significant annual limitations.
A reconciliation of income tax expense that would result from applying the
domestic Federal statutory rate to pre-tax income, with federal income tax
expense presented in the financial statements is as follows:

ROAMING MESSENGER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three-month period ended December 31, 2005 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
June 30, 2006. For further information refer to the financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10K-SB for the year ended June
30, 2005.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of
assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The
accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might
result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's
losses and negative cash flows from operations and the possible impact of the
contingencies described in note 5 raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue
as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is
dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion.
2. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock option grants in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees and related interpretations (APB 25), and has adopted the "disclosure

(SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, amended by SFAS No. 148
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure.
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires pro forma
information regarding net income (loss) using compensation that would have been
incurred if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the
fair value method of that statement. Options to purchase 1,200,000 and 0 shares
of Roaming Messenger, Inc. were granted during the six months ended December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively. The fair value of options granted, which have been
estimated at $36,390 and $0, respectively, at the date of grant were determined
using the Black-Scholes Option pricing model with the following assumptions:

4. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
On December 28, 2005, we consummated a securities purchase agreement with
Cornell Capital Partners L.P. providing for the sale by us to Cornell of our 10%
secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $1,200,000
of which the first installment of $400,000 was advanced immediately. The net
amount of the first installment received by the Company was $295,500 after
paying total fees of $92,500 which included legal, structuring, due diligence,
commitment fees, and prior liability of $12,000. An interest expense of
$100,000, representing the value of the conversion feature in accordance to EITF
98-5, was incurred at the receipt of this first installment.
Holders of the debentures may convert at any time amounts outstanding under the
debentures into shares of our common stock at a conversion price per share equal
to the lesser of (i) $0.15 or (ii) 80% of the lowest volume weighted average
price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the
conversion date as quoted by Bloomberg, LP. Cornell has agreed not to short any
of the shares of Common Stock.
We have the right to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under the
debenture prior to the maturity date at a 20% redemption premium provided that
the closing bid price of our common stock is less than $0.15. In addition, in
the event of a redemption, we are required to issue to Cornell 50,000 shares of
common stock for each $100,000 redeemed.
We also issued to Cornell five-year warrants to purchase 1,500,000, 4,000,000
and 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.08, $0.10 and $0.12, respectively.
The second installment of $350,000 ($295,000 net of fees) was advanced on
January 27, 2006. The last installment of $450,000 will be advanced two business
days prior to the date the registration statement is declared effective. The
debentures mature on the third anniversary of the date of issuance and we are
not required to make any payments until the maturity date.
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In February 2006, Jonathan Lei, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and
Bryan Crane, our Vice President of Corporate Development, were indicted by a
federal grand jury in Florida, alleging that they conspired to commit
securities, mail and wire fraud in connection with an offer for private funding
made to Roaming Messenger Inc. over a year ago, in February 2005, by a
surreptitious investment fund formed by the Government. Specifically, the
indictment alleges that Messrs. Lei and Crane conspired with government agents
posing as fund managers to arrange for an illegal payment to be made to the fund
managers as an inducement to that fund making an investment in the Company. We
did not obtain any funding from the entity or the management company that were
posing as prospective investors. The Company was not named in the indictment.
The Company may be obligated to indemnify Mr. Lei and Mr. Crane for their
defense costs in theses cases in amounts to be determined. This indictment may
have a material adverse impact on the financial position of the company and its
results of operations as result of (i) the possible defense costs to be
disbursed by the Company, (ii) possible departure of these two senior members of
management and (iii) possible damage to the Company's reputation.
Prepared without audit.
