FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
     Certain statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB are “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company’s plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes that its assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, particularly in view of the Company’s limited operations, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which such statements are made. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those express or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the factors set forth in this report under the headings “The Company”, “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time on its behalf.
THE COMPANY
Overview
     CDSI Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) holds limited amounts of cash and, prior to April 2007, held 2,800 shares of Common Stock of Dialog Group Inc. (“Dialog”, formerly known as IMX Pharmaceuticals Inc.). Prior to February 2000, the Company’s former wholly-owned subsidiary, Controlled Distribution Systems, Inc. (“CDS”), was primarily engaged in marketing and leasing a prepaid, wireless, remote-operated retail inventory control and dispensing system for tobacco products called the Coinexx Star 10. Prior to October 2000, CDS also owned traditional cigarette vending machines and a related vending route. In February 2000, the Company terminated all operations relating to marketing and leasing the Coinexx Star 10 system. On October 5, 2000, CDS completed the sale to Gutlove & Shirvant, Inc. of the assets of its cigarette vending route, including vending machines and a van. Prior to January 2007, Dialog was a provider of relationship marketing communications services, business and consumer targeting databases for the healthcare, financial and other direct-to-customer, direct-to-professional business markets. In January 2007, the Dialog reported that it had completed the sale of substantially all of its operating assets. The Company sold its remaining 2,800 shares in Dialog on April 10, 2007.

     The Company intends to seek new business opportunities. As the Company has only limited cash resources, the Company’s ability to complete any acquisition or investment opportunities it may identify will depend on its ability to raise additional financing, as to which there can be no assurance. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully identify, complete or integrate any future acquisition or investment, or that acquisitions or investments, if completed, will contribute favorably to its operations and future financial condition.
Company History
     The Company was incorporated in Delaware in December 1993 under the name PC411, Inc. In January 1999, it changed its name to CDSI Holdings Inc. to reflect the change in its principal business. The Company was originally formed to develop an on-line service that transmits name, address, telephone number and other related information digitally to users of personal computers. In May 1998 the Company acquired CDS and, in December 1998, CDS acquired substantially all of the assets of TD Rowe Corporation’s New York cigarette vending route. In November 1998, the Company transferred substantially all of the non-cash assets and certain liabilities used in its on-line data distribution business to ThinkDirectMarketing Inc. (“TDMI”) in exchange for an initial 42.5% interest in that company. The other investors of TDMI included Acxiom Corporation, Cater Barnard plc and TDMI’s management and employees. In January 2002, Dialog acquired all the stock of TDMI that it did not already own. On April 10, 2007, the Company sold its remaining 2,800 shares of Dialog Common Stock for $204.
     Effective November 12, 2003, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary CDS merged with the Company as the surviving corporation.
ThinkDirectMarketing, Inc.
     On November 5, 1998, the Company contributed substantially all the non-cash assets and certain liabilities related to its on-line electronic delivery information service to TDMI, and received preferred stock of TDMI. On January 31, 2002, Dialog acquired all the shares of TDMI that it did not already own by exercising an option previously granted by the remaining TDMI stockholders. The Company received 8,250 shares of Dialog Class B Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for its interest in TDMI. Each share of Dialog Class B Preferred Stock was entitled to receive an annual dividend of $4.00 on December 31 of each year. The dividend was payable at the option of Dialog in shares of its Common Stock. The shares of Dialog Class B Preferred Stock to be received by the Company were initially convertible into 165,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock.
     On November 4, 2002, the holders of Dialog Class B Preferred Stock and Dialog agreed to (i) increase the number of common shares into which the Dialog Class B Preferred Stock was convertible from 1,575,000 to 3,150,000 and (ii) eliminate the annual dividend on the Class B Preferred Stock. As a result, the Class B Preferred Stock held by CDSI became convertible into 330,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock and, on February 7, 2003, CDSI converted its Class B Preferred Shares into 330,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock. The Company sold 50,000 shares of Dialog stock for $4,888 in 2004 and sold its remaining 2,800 shares on April 10, 2007 for $204.
     Dialog is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is required to file periodic and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (symbol “DLGO”). Dialog’s common stock trades on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board. On September 18, 2006, Dialog effected a 1-for-100 reverse stock split.
     On January 8, 2007, the Dialog reported that it had completed the sale of substantially all of its operating assets to Dialog Marketing Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Redi Direct, Inc., a privately held information services company on January 4, 2007. The sale, which was effective as of December 31, 2006, was for a cash purchase price of $1,900,000. Dialog reported that subsequent to the sale, it retained its financial assets, including its receivables, and was relieved of the liability for its office leases.

Employees
     As of December 31, 2007, the Company had two employees, its President and Chief Executive Officer and its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, both of whom are also employees of Vector Group Ltd. (“Vector”), its largest stockholder. The Company believes that it has good relations with its employees.
RISK FACTORS
     Accumulated Deficit; History of Losses. At December 31, 2007, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $8.2 million. The Company has reported an operating loss in each of its fiscal quarters since inception and expects to continue to incur operating losses in the immediate future. The Company has reduced operating expenses and is seeking acquisition and investment opportunities. There is a risk that the Company will continue to incur operating losses.
     Limited Resources and No Source of Operating Revenues. At December 31, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $50,288 and net working capital of $43,638. Since the sale of CDS’s vending route in October 2000, the Company has had no source of operating revenue. The Company will not achieve any significant revenues until the consummation of an acquisition or investment, if ever. Moreover, there can be no assurance that any acquisition or investment, if achieved, will result in material revenues from its operations or that it will operate on a profitable basis.
     Additional Financing Requirements. The Company’s ability to complete any acquisition or investment opportunities it may identify will depend upon the availability of, and its ability to secure, new equity or debt financing. The Company has no commitments for any financing. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate levels of revenues and cash flows sufficient from any acquisition or investment to fund operations or that the Company will be able to obtain financing on satisfactory terms, if at all, to achieve profitable operations.
     “Blind Pool”; Broad Discretion of Management. Prospective investors who invest in the Company will do so without an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any proposed transactions. As a result, investors will be entirely dependent on the broad discretion and judgment of management in connection with the application of the Company’s working capital and the selection of an acquisition or investment target. There can be no assurance that determinations ultimately made by the Company will permit the Company to achieve profitable operations.
     Acquisition and Investment Risks. As part of its business strategy, the Company may evaluate new acquisition and investment opportunities. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the operations and products or services of the acquired companies, the expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition and subsequent assimilation of operations and products or services and the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully identify, complete or integrate any future acquisitions or investments or that completed acquisitions or investments will contribute favorably to the Company’s operations and future financial condition.
     Dependence Upon Executive Officers and Board of Directors. The ability of the Company to successfully effect a transaction will be largely dependent upon the efforts of its management and the Board of Directors. The Company only has two employees, none of whom work full-time for the Company. No assurance can be given that the Board of Directors and management will be successful in consummating a transaction and achieving profitability.

     Limited Trading Market. Since 1999, the Company’s common stock has been traded on the OTC Bulletin Board of the National Association of Security Dealers, Inc. There is a limited trading market in the Company’s shares and a stockholder could likely find it difficult to sell or to obtain quotations as to prices of the Company’s shares. During 2007, the average daily trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock was approximately 2,547 shares, with 189 days of 251 trading days having no trading activity. No assurances can be given that the Company’s Common Stock will continue to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board or that an orderly trading market will be maintained for the Company’s Common Stock.
     Absence of Full-Time Management Personnel. The Company’s current President and Chief Executive Officer and its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer are executive officers of Vector. Neither of these individuals devotes his full time and attention to the affairs of the Company.
     Concentration of Stock Ownership. Vector beneficially owns approximately 47.8% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. As a result, Vector, effectively controls all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, the appointment of officers and approval of significant corporate transactions including a merger, an acquisition or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. Such concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. In addition, the Company is subject to a State of Delaware statute regulating business combinations, which may also hinder or delay a change of control.
     Absence of Dividends. The Company has never paid nor does it expect in the foreseeable future to pay any dividends.
     Limitation on Director Liability. To the extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of directors for monetary damages for breaches of a director’s fiduciary duty, including breaches that constitute gross negligence. As a result, under certain circumstances, neither the Company nor its stockholders may be able to recover damages from directors.
     Dilution. The Board of Directors of the Company, without any action by the stockholders, is authorized to designate and issue additional classes or series of capital stock (including classes or series of preferred stock) as it deems appropriate and to establish the rights, preferences and privileges of such classes or series. The issuance of any new class or series of capital stock would not only dilute the ownership interest of the current stockholders of the Company but may also adversely affect the voting power and other rights of holders of Common Stock. The rights of holders of preferred stock and other classes of common stock that may be issued may be superior to the rights of the holders of the existing class of Common Stock in terms of the payment of ordinary and liquidating dividends and voting rights.
     Forward-looking Statements. This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Words such as “anticipate,” “believes,” “expects,” “future” and “intends” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements. You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks described above and elsewhere in this report.

ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Overview
     The Company intends to seek new business opportunities. As the Company has only limited cash resources, the Company’s ability to complete any acquisition or investment opportunities it may identify will depend on its ability to raise additional financing, as to which there can be no assurance. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully identify, complete or integrate any future acquisition or investment, or that acquisitions or investments, if completed, will contribute favorably to its operations and future financial condition.
ThinkDirectMarketing, Inc.
     On November 5, 1998, the Company contributed substantially all the non-cash assets and certain liabilities related to its on-line electronic delivery information service to TDMI, and received preferred stock of TDMI. See Note 3 to the financial statements for additional information concerning the Company’s former investment in TDMI.
     On January 31, 2002, Dialog acquired all the shares of TDMI it did not already own by exercising an option previously granted by the remaining TDMI stockholders. The Company received convertible preferred stock of Dialog in exchange for its interest in TDMI, and, on February 7, 2003, CDSI converted its Class B Preferred Shares into 330,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock. The Company sold 50,000 shares of Dialog stock (500 shares adjusted for reverse stock split) for $4,888 in 2004. On September 18, 2006, Dialog effected a 1-for-100 reverse stock split. On April 10, 2007, the Company sold its remaining 2,800 shares of Dialog stock for $204 and the Company recorded a gain of $204 from the sale for the year ended December 31, 2007. See Notes 3 and 4 to the financial statements.
Results of Operations
     Revenues
     For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company did not generate revenues from operations.
     Expenses
     Expenses associated with corporate activities were $35,070 and $33,983 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The expenses in both years were primarily associated with costs necessary to maintain a public company, which consist primarily of directors’ fees, auditing fees and stock transfer fees.
     Other Income
     Interest income was $2,501 and $3,535 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease is due primarily to lower cash balances and lower interest rates in 2007 versus 2006.
     The recovery of unclaimed property relates to refunds receivable for unclaimed property in a state where we previously conducted business. We received $21,791 of refund claims in 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     At December 31, 2007, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $8,197,506. The Company has reported an operating loss in each of its fiscal quarters since inception and it expects to continue to incur operating losses in the immediate future. The Company has reduced operating expenses and is seeking acquisition and investment opportunities. No assurance can be given that the Company will not continue to incur operating losses.
     The Company has limited available cash, limited cash flow, limited liquid assets and no credit facilities. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient cash from operations and, as a consequence, financing has been required to fund ongoing operations. Since completion of the Company’s initial public offering of its common stock (the “IPO”) in May 1997, the Company has primarily financed its operations with the net proceeds of the IPO. The funds were used to complete the introduction of the PC411 Service over the Internet, to expand marketing, sales and advertising, to develop or acquire new services or databases, to acquire CDS and for general corporate purposes.
     Cash used for operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $11,728 and $29,848, respectively. The decrease is associated primarily with the receipt of the refunds of unclaimed property in 2007 and the timing of payments of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company evaluates its accruals on a quarterly basis and makes adjustments when appropriate.
     The Company does not expect significant capital expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2008.
     At December 31, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $50,288.
     Inflation and changing prices had no material impact on revenues or the results of operations for years ended December 31, 2007.
     We are not authorized to transact business in any state other than Delaware, which is our state of incorporation. We received an inquiry from the Florida Department of State inquiring whether we should have registered with the Florida Department of State in previous years, beginning in 1998. We have responded to the inquiry and believe our activities in prior years did not meet the requirements for such registration; however, no assurance can be provided that our position will be accepted by the Florida Department of State. We are unable to quantify the amount of any registration fees and other costs attributable to any failure to register and have not accrued any amounts in our financial statements related to such inquiry.
     Management is currently evaluating alternatives to supplement the Company’s present cash and cash equivalents to meet its liquidity requirements over the next twelve months. Such alternatives include seeking additional investors and/or lenders. Although there can be no assurance, the Company believes that it will be able to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.
     We or our affiliates, including Vector, may, from time to time, based upon present market conditions, may purchase shares of the Common Stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

ITEM 8A(T).   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of December 31, 2007. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As of December 31, 2007, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation was conducted of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework contained in the report titled “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of Becher Della Torre Gitto & Company PC, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
(c) Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to errors or fraud may occur and not be detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance that their objectives are achieved.
(d) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting.

     Each director of the Company holds office until the next annual meeting of stockholders, or until his successor is elected and qualified. At present, the Company’s By-laws provide for not less than two directors or more than nine directors. Currently, there are four directors. The By-laws permit the Board of Directors to fill any vacancy and such director may serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor is elected and qualified. Officers serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
Audit Committee
     The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors consists of Mr. Lundgren and, prior to March 27, 2008, consisted of Messrs. Lundgren and Henry Morris. The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Lundgren is an “audit committee financial expert” and “independent’, and that Mr. Morris was “independent” prior to his resignation on March 27, 2008, as those terms are defined under the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules. In determining that Messrs. Lundgren and Morris were “independent”, the Board used the definition of independence in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASD’s listing standards.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms which they file. Based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, the Company believes that, during and with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, all officers and directors complied with applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements.
Code of Ethics
     The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to the Company’s two employees, its President and Chief Executive Officer and its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The Company will provide, without charge, a copy of the Code of Ethics on the written request of any person addressed to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer at CDSI Holdings Inc., 100 S.E. Second Street, 32nd Floor, Miami, Florida 33131.

(1)   Richard J. Lampen, who has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company since November 5, 1998, did not receive any salary or other compensation from the Company in 2007 or 2006, other than the normal compensation paid to directors of the Company. See “Compensation of Directors.”
Stock Options
     In order to attract and retain persons necessary for the business of the Company, the Company adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) covering up to 750,000 shares, pursuant to which officers, directors and key employees of the Company and consultants to the Company are eligible to receive incentive and/or non-incentive stock options. The Option Plan, which expired on January 29, 2007, was administered by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. The selection of participants, allotment of shares, determination of price and other conditions relating to the grant of options was determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. Incentive stock options granted under the Option Plan were exercisable for a period of up to 10 years from the date of grant at an exercise price which is not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant, except that the term of an incentive stock option granted under the Option Plan to a stockholder owning more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock could not exceed five years and its exercise price could not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant.
     Under the Option Plan, each director who is not a full-time employee of the Company, immediately upon first taking office, was granted options to purchase 6,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant. Options for 3,000 shares covered thereby were exercisable immediately and options for 3,000 shares became exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Subsequently, the Option Plan provided for annual grants of options to purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock upon reelection as a director of the Company.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
CDSI Holdings Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of CDSI Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the CDSI Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America.

CDSI HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
(1)   Business and Organization
 
    CDSI Holdings Inc. (the “Company” or “CDSI”) was incorporated in Delaware on December 29, 1993. On January 12, 1999, the Company’s stockholders voted to change the corporate name of the Company from PC411, Inc. to CDSI Holdings Inc. Prior to May 8, 1998, the Company’s principal business was an on-line electronic delivery information service that transmits name, address, telephone number and other related information digitally to users of personal computers (the “PC411 Service”). On May 8, 1998, the Company acquired Controlled Distribution Systems, Inc. (“CDS”), a company engaged in the marketing and leasing of an inventory control system for tobacco products. In February 2000, CDSI announced CDS will no longer actively engage in the business of marketing and leasing the inventory control system. Effective November 12, 2003, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary CDS merged with the Company as the surviving corporation.
 
    At December 31, 2007, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $8,197,506. The Company has reported an operating loss in each of its fiscal quarters since inception and it expects to continue to incur operating losses in the immediate future. The Company has reduced operating expenses and is seeking acquisition and investment opportunities. There is a risk the Company will continue to incur operating losses.
 
    CDSI intends to seek new business opportunities. As CDSI has only limited cash resources, CDSI’s ability to complete any acquisition or investment opportunities it may identify will depend on its ability to raise additional financing, as to which there can be no assurance. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully identify, complete or integrate any future acquisition or investment, or that acquisitions or investments, if completed, will contribute favorably to its operations and future financial condition.
 
(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
    Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds with a maturity of three months or less.
 
    Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
    The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and accrued expenses approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short maturities of these instruments.

    Investment Securities Available for Sale
 
    Prior to April 10, 2007, the Company owned 2,800 shares of Dialog Group Inc. (“Dialog”) Common Stock and classified its investment in Dialog as “Investment Securities Available for Sale” as of December 31, 2006. The Dialog Common Stock was carried at fair value, based on the last trade prior to December 31, 2006, and net unrealized gains were included as a component of stockholders’ equity. The Company sold 50,000 shares of Dialog stock in 2004 for a net gain of $4,888 and 2,800 shares of Dialog sock in 2007 for a net gain of $204. Realized gains and losses are included in other income. See Notes 3 and 4.
 
    Income Taxes
 
    The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
 
    Computation of Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
 
    Basic net loss per share of Common Stock has been computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the assumed conversion of other potentially dilutive securities during the period. Stock options and warrants totaling 128,000 and 653,333 shares at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted per share results presented because their effect was anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share.
 
    Use of Estimates
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    Concentrations of Risks
 
    Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash held in overnight money market accounts. The Company has no formal policy requiring collateral to support the financial instruments subject to credit risk.

(3)   ThinkDirectMarketing, Inc. Transaction
 
    On November 5, 1998, the Company contributed the non-cash assets and certain liabilities of the PC411 Service to ThinkDirectMarketing, Inc. (“TDMI”) (formerly known as Digital Asset Management, Inc.). The Company received preferred stock representing an initial 42.5% interest in TDMI in exchange for the contribution of the PC411 Service’s net assets. The Company’s carrying value in the net assets contributed to TDMI totaled $73,438. The Company recorded $462,360 as a capital contribution in connection with the transaction, which represented the Company’s 42.5% interest in the capital raised by TDMI in excess of the carrying value of the Company’s net assets contributed to TDMI. The Company agreed, under certain conditions, to fund up to $200,000 of an $800,000 working capital line. The Company funded $100,000 of the working capital line in the second quarter of 1999. In July 1999, the Company agreed to extend the maturity of its working capital line and was released from any further obligation to fund additional amounts under the working capital line.
 
    In October 2000, TDMI and Cater Barnard plc (formerly known as VoyagerIT.com) entered into an agreement whereby Cater Barnard purchased for $5,000,000 shares of TDMI’s convertible preferred stock and convertible notes on various dates between November 10, 2000 and June 8, 2001. On October 16, 2001, Cater Barnard agreed to use its best efforts to fund an additional $1,250,000 to TDMI by January 31, 2002 and on the same date, the TDMI stockholders granted Cater Barnard an option to purchase by January 31, 2002 all of TDMI’s common stock not held by Cater Barnard for an aggregate purchase price of 78,750 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock of Dialog Group Inc. (“Dialog”, formerly known as IMX Pharmaceuticals, Inc.). Dialog was then a majority-owned subsidiary of Cater Barnard to which Cater Barnard had transferred its interest in TDMI. The preferred stock was initially convertible into 1,575,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock.
 
    On January 31, 2002, Dialog acquired all the shares of TDMI it did not already own by exercising the option previously granted to Cater Barnard. CDSI received 8,250 shares of Dialog Class B Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for its interest in TDMI. Each share of Dialog Class B Preferred Stock was entitled to receive an annual dividend of $4.00 on December 31 of each year. The dividend was payable at the option of Dialog in shares of its Common Stock. The shares of Dialog Class B Preferred Stock to be received by the Company were initially convertible into 165,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock.
 
    On November 4, 2002, the holders of Dialog Class B Preferred Stock and Dialog agreed to (i) increase the number of common shares into which the Dialog Class B Preferred Stock was convertible from 1,575,000 to 3,150,000 and (ii) eliminate the annual dividend on the Class B Preferred Stock. As a result, the Class B Preferred Stock held by CDSI became convertible into 330,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock and, on February 7, 2003, CDSI converted its preferred shares into 330,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock. The Company sold 50,000 shares (500 shares adjusted for reverse stock split) of Dialog stock for $4,888 in the third quarter of 2004. See Note 4. On September 18, 2006, Dialog effected a 1-for-100 reverse stock split. On April 10, 2007, the Company sold its remaining 2,800 shares of Dialog stock for $204 and the Company recorded a gain of $204 from the sale for the year ended December 31, 2007.

(4)   Investment Securities Available for Sale
 
    In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, the Company classified its 2,800 shares of Dialog Common Stock as “Investment Securities Available for Sale” as of December 31, 2006. The Dialog Common Stock was carried at fair value, based on the last trade prior to December 31, 2006 and net unrealized gains were included as a component of stockholders’ equity. On April 10, 2007, the Company sold its remaining 2,800 shares of Dialog stock for $204 and the Company recorded a gain of $204 from the sale for the year ended December 31, 2007. See Note 3.
 
(5)   Related Party Transactions
 
    Certain accounting and related finance functions are performed on behalf of the Company by employees of the parent of the Company’s principal stockholder, Vector Group Ltd. (“Vector”). Expenses incurred relating to these functions are allocated to the Company and paid as incurred to Vector based on management’s best estimate of the cost involved. The amounts allocated were immaterial for all periods presented herein.
 
(6)   Stock Options
 
    The Company granted equity compensation under its 1997 Stock Option Plan (“the 1997 Plan”), which expired on January 29, 2007 and provided for the grant of options to purchase the Company’s stock to the employees and directors of the Company. The term of the options granted under the 1997 Plan was limited to 10 years from the date of grant.
 
    Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based compensation plans in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” as permitted by SFAS No. 123. The Company elected to use the intrinsic value method of accounting for employee and director share-based compensation expense for its non-compensatory employee and director stock option awards and did not recognize compensation expense for the issuance of options with an exercise price equal to the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
 
    On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), which requires the Company to value unvested stock options granted prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) under the fair value method of accounting and expense this amount in the statement of operations over the stock option’s remaining vesting period. The Company adopted this new standard, prospectively, on January 1, 2006. Because all options outstanding were fully vested at January 1, 2006, there was no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements — Continued
    As permitted by SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 123(R), the fair value of option grants is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price characteristics which are significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of stock-based compensation awards.
 
    There were no option grants in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. If options had been granted, the assumptions used in computing fair value under the Black-Scholes option pricing model would have been based on the expected option life considering both the contractual term of the option and expected employee exercise behavior, the interest rate associated with U.S. Treasury issues with a remaining term equal to the expected option life and the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock over the expected term of the option.
 
    Approximately 25,333 options to acquire shares of Common Stock expired in 2007. In addition to the options issued to employees, the Company had granted New Valley LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vector, options to acquire 500,000 shares of Common Stock at $5.75 per share, which fully vested upon the completion of the Company’s initial public offering in May 1997. These options expired in March 2007.
 
    A summary of the Company’s stock option activity during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, are as follows:

(8)   Income Taxes
 
    During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had no income and therefore made no provision for Federal and state income taxes.
 
    At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had approximately $6,995,000 and $6,980,000, respectively, of net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state tax reporting purposes available to offset future taxable income, if any; such carryforwards expire between 2009 and 2027 (federal) and 2006 and 2027 (state). Deferred tax assets and liabilities principally relate to net operating loss carryforwards and aggregate approximately $2,490,000 before valuation allowance. In assessing the realizability of the net deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. As of December 31, 2007, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets due to the Company’s uncertainty of future taxable income against which the deferred tax asset may be utilized. Accordingly, no deferred tax asset has been recorded on the accompanying balance sheet.
 
(9)   Contingencies
 
    As of December 31, 2007, the Company was not authorized to transact business in any state other than Delaware, which is its state of incorporation. The Company received an inquiry from the Florida Department of State (the “FDS”) inquiring whether the Company should have registered with the FDS in previous years, beginning in 1998. In March 2006, the Company responded to the inquiry and stated it believes its activities in previous years did not meet the requirements for such registration; however, no assurance can be provided that the Company’s position will be accepted by the FDS. The Company is unable to quantify the amount of any registration fees and other costs attributable to any failure to register and has not accrued any amounts in its financial statements related to such inquiry.
 
    The Company received refunds of approximately $21,791 in 2007 for unclaimed property in a state the Company previously conducted business.
