Note 1 – Business and Basis of Presentation

TWL Corporation (“TWL” or the “Company”) is creating a global learning company by acquiring operating subsidiaries that specialize in educational and training content, delivery, and services for particular industries or that target a particular segment of the workforce.  The Company believes that there are product and service synergies between and among our various subsidiaries that position us to create a global learning company that can provide integrated learning services to corporations, organizations, educational institutions, and individual learners, using a variety of delivery technologies, platforms and methods to meet the growing need for global learning solutions.  The Company believes that it will be one of the first companies to be able to serve major multinational employers at multiple levels of their organizations and assist these customers to meet the challenges of a major turnover in the world’s workforce over the coming decade. Factors such as demographics, technology, and globalization will require enterprises, organizations and governments around the world to invest in human capital to remain competitive.

We operate through our primary operating subsidiary, TWL Knowledge Group, Inc., located in our 205,000 square foot digital multimedia production center in Carrollton, Texas, in the greater Dallas metropolitan area.  At this global learning center we create, distribute and archive rich media skills training courses and services for workplace learning and certification for approximately 2,000 corporate, institutional, and government customers in healthcare, industrial services, and public safety including law enforcement, fire services, emergency medical services, private security, homeland security, first responders, and other federal and state agencies.  We distribute content to our customers through a variety of learning media including satellite, Internet-based e-learning management system, PC-based simulation software platform, CD-ROM, and DVD.  Our proprietary brands include the Law Enforcement Training Network (LETN), HomelandOne, the Fire and Emergency Training Network (FETN), and others.  In our healthcare division, Trinity Workforce Learning, we participate in 16 distinct accreditations for medical-related continuing professional education and certification.  While our strategic focus is to grow our assets and operations in North America, we continue to maintain ownership positions in small operating subsidiaries in Australia.

These financial statements include the accounts of TWL and its consolidated subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. This includes normal and recurring adjustments.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2007.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share amounts are computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per share amounts are computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.  Diluted per share amounts assume the conversion, exercise, or issuance of all potential common stock instruments unless the effect is anti-dilutive, thereby reducing the loss per common share.  Our common stock equivalents include all common stock issuable upon conversion of preferred stock and notes payable and the exercise of outstanding options and warrants.  As the Company incurred losses in all periods presented, the inclusion of those potential common shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share would have an anti-dilutive effect.  Therefore, basic and diluted per share amounts are the same in all periods presented.  The aggregate number of common stock equivalents excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation was 24,248,927 and 17,522,546 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and costs during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews its estimates based on information that is currently available.  Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates.  Significant estimates include revenue recognition, valuation and allocation of the purchase consideration of the assets and liabilities and assets acquired in business combinations and equity investments in associated companies, our determination of fair value of common stock issued in business combinations and equity investments in associated companies, and the annual valuation and review for impairment of assets acquired and of long-lived assets.  Actual results could differ from estimates under different assumptions and conditions, and such results may affect income, financial position or cash flows.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:

Note 2 – Going Concern Uncertainty

During the nine months ended March 31, 2008, the Company incurred a net loss of $9,072,570 and experienced a cash flow deficit from its operations in the amount of $3,117,050. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had a cash balance of $471,573 and a negative working capital balance of $20,180,303.  The negative working capital is attributable to extending payments to vendors and increased short-term borrowings. It is anticipated that such losses and cash flow deficits will continue in the foreseeable future. During the nine months ended March 31, 2008, the Company received gross cash proceeds from the sale of its common stock of $2,590,000 and from the issuance of notes payable of $1,560,000. These proceeds are being used for general working capital purposes.

Currently, we do not have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs to allow us to continue as a going concern.  We cannot be certain that our existing sources of cash will be adequate to meet our liquidity requirements.  Based on our cash balance at May 1, 2008, we will not be able to sustain operations for more than one month without additional sources of funding. To meet our present and future liquidity requirements, we will continue to seek additional funding through private placements, conversion of outstanding loans and payables into common stock, and collections on accounts receivable. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining more debt and/or equity financing in the future or that our results of operations will materially improve in either the short-term or the long-term. If we fail to obtain such financing and improve our results of operations, we will be unable to meet our obligations as they become due.  This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America generally applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 – Reverse Common Stock Split

On December 12, 2007, the Company effected a one-for-twenty reverse stock split to common shareholders. All common share and per share information referenced and presented within this filing has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

In February 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase software owned by Divergent Entertainment, Inc. (DEI) from Daniel Hammett (Mr. Hammett), the sole shareholder of DEI. Along with other consideration as noted below, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Hammett $1,000,000 to be distributed over a period of four years in quarterly installments. The final payment is due December 31, 2011 and the note is non-interest bearing.

Other consideration for the purchase of software included the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $3,600,000 and the assumption of liabilities for the development of the software of $272,646. This purchase will provide the Company with both a new product (first product release is anticipated to be in May 2008) as well as an important new delivery platform that is anticipated to augment the Company’s current online LMS, satellite television, and media (DVD, VHS) distribution technologies.
 
The new delivery platform is an advanced PC-based simulation software application, specifically designed to deliver professional quality and performance in skills training, practice and testing, in a quasi-virtual reality environment, at a reasonable price. The initial product to be launched using this cutting-edge technology is planned to be Firefighter: Everybody Goes Home™.  This PC-based simulation product will simulate drills and real-life firefighting scenarios.  The Company anticipates that such training in a safe, PC-based environment will not only augment firefighters’ live training exercises, but will also reduce live training time, expense and injury.  The Company anticipates that Firefighter: Everybody Goes Home™ will be a valuable complement to its current firefighter training products offered through the Company’s Fire & Emergency Training Network.

Note 6 – Line of Credit

In August 2006, the Company entered into agreements with Laurus, one of which provided for a secured three-year revolving note (line of credit) with a maximum amount of $5,000,000, subject to borrowing base computations, and matures on August 1, 2009.  The line carries an interest rate of prime plus two percent (but never less than nine percent), and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The note is secured by a blanket lien on all of the Company's assets and the assets of the Company's subsidiaries.

In March 2008, the Company entered into an overadvance agreement with Laurus, which allows the Company to borrow up to $500,000 in addition to the maximum amount allowed by the borrowing base computations on the line of credit. The overadvance amount is reduced by $25,000 per month from October 2008 through July 2009. A lump sum payment of $225,000 is due on August 1, 2009. The overadvance carries the same interest rate as the line of credit.

As of March 31, 2008, the balance on the line of credit totaled $806,712, and carried an interest rate of 9%.

Note 7 – Stock Option Plan

As of March 31, 2008, an aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of common stock were authorized for issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2002 Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan allowed for a maximum aggregate number of shares that may be optioned and sold under the plan of (a) 150,000 shares, plus (b) an annual 25,000 increase to be added on the last day of each fiscal year beginning in 2003 unless a lesser amount is determined by the board of directors. The Plan became effective with its adoption and remains in effect for ten years unless terminated earlier. On December 30, 2003, the board of directors amended the Plan to allow for a maximum aggregate number of shares that may be optioned and sold under the plan of (a) 300,000 shares, plus (b) an annual 50,000 increase to be added on the last day of each fiscal year beginning in 2004 unless a lesser amount is determined by the board of directors. Options granted under the plan vest pro rata over a 48 month period and are typically issued with a four to seven year term.  In some cases, selected officers and directors have been given accelerated vesting schedules.

Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, TWL Corporation or its subsidiaries may be named a party to various claims and/or legal proceedings.  Neither TWL Corporation nor its subsidiaries have been named in and are not aware of any matters which will result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse effect upon their financial condition or results of operations.

Note 12 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2007, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a Companys financial statements. FIN 48 requires companies to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that a tax provision will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on the recognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties. We did not recognize any adjustments to our financial statements as a result of our implementation of FIN 48.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, on February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2 which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). This FSP defers the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope of this FSP. Effective July 1, 2008, the Company will adopt SFAS 157 except as it applies to those nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities as noted in FSP FAS 157-2. The partial adoption of SFAS 157 will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 13 – Subsequent Events

In April 2008, the Company announced the layoff of 43 full-time employees and 5 part-time employees effective April 14, 2008. The layoff was the result of the Company’s comprehensive restructuring effort as part of its overall profitability recovery plan.

In April 2008, the Company entered into a debt financing transaction with TIGP, a related party, in which the Company issued $500,000 of convertible debentures. The debentures mature in April 2012, bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum, and are convertible into common stock at $0.60 per share. The notes are secured by all of the Company’s assets (in junior position to Laurus), as well as the assets of its wholly-owned subsidiary, TWL Knowledge Group, Inc.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our fiscal year ends June 30.  The following discussion analyzes the historical financial condition and results of operations of the Company and should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and notes thereto, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements included in this quarterly report that are not historical facts (including any statements concerning plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto), including, without limitation, the information set forth in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology including “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue,” “project,” “plan,” or other similar words. These statements discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition, or state other “forward-looking” information. We and our representatives may from time to time make other oral or written statements that are also forward-looking statements.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated as of the date of this report. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements include, among other things, those set forth in the Risk Factors section of the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, and those set forth from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are available through the Press Releases link at www.twlk.com and through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”) at http://www.sec.gov.

All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to us on the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained throughout this report.

Overview

We are a publicly held global learning company with geographic locations in the United States and Australia. We specialize in providing technology-enabled learning and certification solutions for corporations, organizations, and individuals in multiple global industries. Historically, we have focused our marketing on medium to large businesses and organizations that wish to provide workplace training and certification to their employees in a cost effective and efficient manner.

In February 2008, we entered into an agreement to purchase software owned by Divergent Entertainment, Inc. (DEI) from Daniel Hammett (Mr. Hammett), the sole shareholder of DEI. This purchase will provide the Company with both a new product (first product release is anticipated to be in May 2008) as well as an important new delivery platform that is anticipated to augment the Company’s current online LMS, satellite television, and media (DVD, VHS) distribution technologies.

The new delivery platform is an advanced PC-based simulation software application specifically designed to deliver professional quality and performance in skills training, practice and testing, in a quasi-virtual reality environment, at a reasonable price. The initial product to be launched using this cutting-edge technology is planned to be Firefighter: Everybody Goes Home™.  This PC-based simulation product will simulate drills and real-life firefighting scenarios.  The Company anticipates that such training in a safe, PC-based environment will not only augment firefighters’ live training exercises, but will also reduce live training time, expense and injury.  The Company anticipates that Firefighter: Everybody Goes Home™ will be a valuable complement to its current firefighter training products offered through the Company’s Fire & Emergency Training Network.


Revenues

TWL derives its revenues primarily from service-related contracts, including operations and maintenance services and a variety of technical assistance services. The Company’s revenue consists of four main categories – Subscription, Single Event, Production, and Other. Subscription revenue is generated from contracts with customers who receive products or services for a specified time period.  Subscription products include satellite subscriptions, monthly videotape subscriptions, monthly CD-ROM subscriptions, Internet subscriptions, and training-on-demand subscriptions (tape library). Single event revenue involves the sale of products (videotapes, CD-ROM’s, etc.) to customers on a non-subscription basis. Production revenue is generated from live events or specialized production work performed for a customer, including use of studios, taping and editing services. Other revenue is derived primarily from service income which includes rents received on the sublease of unused space within our facility as well as charges to our customers for subcontractors, tape duplication, and the use of our transponder.

Costs and expenses

Costs and expenses consist of costs specifically associated with client programs and other operational expenses.  The main categories of costs and expenses follow.  Royalty, printing, delivery and communications costs include production costs, transponder lease and product development costs.  Salaries and benefits are generally the largest component of expenses, and include compensation, benefits and payroll taxes of the TWL employee base.  Selling, general and administrative, excluding salaries and benefits, costs are comprised of such expenses as professional fees, utilities, maintenance and repairs, insurance, personal and real property taxes, travel and lodging, marketing and general administrative costs. Depreciation expense is generally computed by applying the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets, which consists of three to seven years for furniture and fixtures. Amortization expense for leasehold improvements and assets held under capital leases is computed using the straight-line method over the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter, ranging from three to seven years.

Other income (expense)

Other income (expense) consists of the sum of interest expense (including related party), income (loss) in non-consolidated affiliate, loss on refinancing of debt, and other income.  Interest expense includes interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs associated with our indebtedness under notes payable and credit line obligations. Income (loss) in non-consolidated affiliate relates to a 50%-owned joint venture in which we have significant influence and therefore record our proportionate share of equity income or losses.  We entered into the joint venture agreement in November 2006, with operations beginning in February 2007. Loss on refinancing of debt relates to the fiscal 2007 write-off of debt discount on the Palisades convertible debt instrument in connection with the Laurus financing offset by gains recognized on the forfeiture of warrants.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007

Revenues, net. Revenues, net were $5,440,928 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $5,532,675 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $91,747, or 2%, primarily attributable to a decrease in single event revenue.

Single event revenue decreased $118,656, or 7%, to $1,560,337 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1,678,993 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily attributable to budgetary constraints during 2008 of several large repeat customers that resulted in lower safety product sales when compared to the prior year. There was also a slight decrease in demand for private security training.

Cost and expenses. Cost and expenses were $7,445,891 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $6,849,863 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $596,028, or 9%. Increases in royalty, printing, delivery and communications costs as well as selling, general and administrative costs, excluding salaries and benefits, were partially offset by a decrease in salaries and benefits.

Royalty, printing, delivery and communication costs increased $830,010, or 92%, to $1,728,972 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $898,962 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to higher royalties paid for third party sales and higher printing costs associated with single event sales.

Selling, general and administrative, excluding salaries and benefits, increased $557,709, or 79%, to $1,260,596 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $702,887 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in third party consulting costs for accounting related matters as well as additional legal fees for trade vendor matters. The remaining increase was due to incremental increases in property taxes and insurance.

Salaries and benefits decreased $838,644, or 17%, to $4,162,687 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $5,001,331 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, due in large part to the reduction in work force that took place in late September 2007.

Other income (expense).  Net other expense decreased $88,628, or 10%, to $805,637 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $894,265 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily attributable to an improvement in the loss from non-consolidated affiliate which was partially offset by an increase in interest expense.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recognized income in the non-consolidated affiliate of $28,679 compared to a loss of $226,690 recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2007. As a result, we experienced a $255,369 improvement in income from the non-consolidated affiliate when compared to the prior period. This change was driven by the timing of a reduction in joint venture agreement costs during the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the prior period.

Interest expense, net (including related party) increased $183,608, or 28%, to $851,183 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $667,575 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was attributable to the larger outstanding notes payable balance as of March 31, 2008 as compared to March 31, 2007.


Nine Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2007

Revenues, net. Revenues, net were $16,901,650 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $18,653,925 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $1,752,275, or 9%.  Decreases in subscription, single event and production revenue were partially offset by an increase in other revenue.

Subscription revenue decreased $398,949, or 5%, to $7,935,263 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $8,334,212 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily the result of lower renewal rates for our healthcare and government customers.

Single event revenue decreased $1,687,854, or 24%, to $5,233,035 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $6,920,889 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was driven by two factors. First, several large one-time sales occurred during the latter part of 2006 which did not continue during 2007 and 2008. Second, several of our large repeat customers experienced budgetary constraints during the latter part of 2007 that continued into 2008, and as a result, demand for safety products from these customers was lower during the nine months ended March 31, 2008 when compared to the prior period.

Production revenue decreased $105,834, or 7%, to $1,468,052 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1,573,886 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was attributable to lower studio rental revenue due to fewer third party inquiries and a decrease in the seasonal volume of studio bookings for educational and advertising programs.

Other revenue increased $440,362, or 24%, to $2,265,300 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1,824,938 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to an agreement to sponsor a seminar for one of our customers. Revenue from this event was approximately $343,000 during fiscal 2008 with no corresponding transaction in the prior period.

Cost and expenses. Cost and expenses were $23,608,030 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $24,785,577 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $1,177,547, or 5%. Decreases in the amortization of program inventory and salaries and benefits were partially offset by increases in royalty, printing, delivery and communication costs as well as selling, general and administrative, excluding salaries and benefits.

During fiscal 2007, the Company recognized expense of $2,142,145 for the complete amortization of previously unamortized program inventory. There was no corresponding write-off during fiscal 2008.

Salaries and benefits decreased $704,570, or 5%, to $12,967,104 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $13,671,674 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in work force that took place in late September 2007.

Royalty, printing, delivery and communication costs increased $391,982, or 10%, to $4,265,311 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $3,873,329 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was due to increased communication costs for internet and broadcast operations as well as higher royalties paid for third party product sales.

Selling, general and administrative, excluding salaries and benefits, increased $1,136,667, or 26%, to $5,487,768 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $4,351,101 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to approximately $1,250,000 in expenses incurred during the current period to consultants who provided the Company with investor communications and public relations with existing shareholders, brokers, dealers, and other investment professionals. In addition, the consultants assisted the Company in raising capital and enhancing the market recognition of the Company. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in overhead and support costs related to the reduction in work force that took place in September 2007.

Other income (expense).  Net other expense decreased $4,874,948, or 67%, to $2,366,190 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $7,241,138 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, primarily the result of several significant items which occurred in the prior period for which there was no corresponding amount in the comparable current period.


Net interest expense decreased $3,147,723, or 57%, to $2,339,544 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $5,487,267 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The most significant portion of this decrease was attributable to the recording of $3,725,166 of debt discount on a note payable in September 2006. This discount represented a beneficial conversion feature on the note payable which was expensed as the note became due. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest expense (including related party but excluding the debt discount noted above) of $577,443 due to increased notes payable balances.

The loss on refinancing of debt relates to preferred stock issued to Palisades to subordinate its convertible debt security interest to Laurus. The preferred stock was valued at $1,960,000 and was recorded in July 2006 as a debt discount and expensed immediately as the debt was due currently. This was partially offset by a gain on the forfeiture of warrants by Palisades of $326,160.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s working capital needs have historically been satisfied through financing activities including private loans, third-party and related-party debt, and raising capital through equity investments from accredited investors. Historically, the primary uses of cash for TWL have been working capital requirements and the repayment of debt obligations.

Since inception, TWL has incurred significant net losses from operations, with an accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2008 of $88,710,773. Currently, we do not have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs to allow us to continue as a going concern.  We cannot be certain that our existing sources of cash will be adequate to meet our liquidity requirements.  To meet our present and future liquidity requirements, we are continuing to seek additional funding through private placements, conversion of outstanding loans and payables into common stock, collections on accounts receivable, and through additional acquisitions that have sufficient cash flow to fund subsidiary operations.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining more debt and/or equity financing in the future or that our results of operations will materially improve in either the short- or the long-term. If we fail to obtain such financing and improve our results of operations, we will be unable to meet our obligations as they become due.  This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As of March 31, 2008, TWL had cash and cash equivalents of $471,573, and working capital (measured by current assets less current liabilities) was a deficit of $20,180,303.

During the quarter, the Company raised $1,860,000 through the issuance of equity and subordinated debt. The proceeds were used for general working capital purposes. Due to the seasonality of our business, we will continue to require additional third party investments to support its short term working capital needs.

As a professional services organization, we are not capital intensive.  Historically, capital expenditures have been for computer-aided instruction, accounting and project management information systems, and general-purpose computer equipment to accommodate our growth. However, during the quarter, we entered into an agreement to purchase software which will provide the Company with both a new product (first product release is anticipated to be in May 2008) as well as an important new delivery platform that is anticipated to augment the Company’s current online LMS, satellite television, and media (DVD, VHS) distribution technologies.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2007

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $3,117,050 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $1,184,894 compared to the prior period.  This increase was driven by a reduction in non-cash operating charges of $4,627,478 and a $1,973,963 change in accounts payable and accrued expenses, both when comparing the fiscal 2008 change to that of the prior period. The change in accounts payable and accrued expenses was attributed to liabilities generally remaining stable in fiscal 2008 by utilizing the cash from the equity and debt issuances to pay vendor and other obligations, whereas in fiscal 2007, vendor and other obligations were extended due to cash constraints. Partially offsetting these two items was a $4,300,220 improvement in net loss in 2008 as well as an improvement of $951,192 in the collection of accounts receivable during fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007, driven by the Company’s effort to reduce the amount of aged customer account balances during fiscal 2008.


Net cash used in investing activities totaled $95,006 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $28,137 used during the nine months ended March 31, 2007. This is attributable to capital expenditures in the normal course of business.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $2,335,232 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $828,726 compared to the prior period. Net repayments on the line of credit totaled $253,403 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to net borrowings of $1,200,000 during the prior period. In addition, borrowings under notes payable arrangements decreased $1,945,342 to $1,560,000 in fiscal 2008 from $3,505,342 in fiscal 2007. The decreases in draws on the line of credit and new notes payable issuances were the result of the availability of cash through the sale of common stock, which generated gross proceeds of $2,590,000 in fiscal 2008. There were no issuances of common stock in the comparable period in fiscal 2007.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that will have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, operating results, liquidity or capital expenditures.
