Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes and Analysis

• Profitability Shift: The Company reported a net income of $569,727 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a significant turnaround from a net loss of $1.74 million in the prior year. This improvement was driven primarily by non-operating items rather than core operations.
• Debt Forgiveness: A material "Other Income" item of $1,094,356 resulted from the settlement and forgiveness of approximately $1.21 million in debt owed to the Company's Non-Executive Chairman, Jerome R. Mahoney. The Company paid $117,500 in cash to settle the obligation.
• Derivative Liability: The loss on the revaluation of derivative liabilities decreased significantly to $239,613 in the current period compared to $1.38 million in the prior year, contributing to the net income.
• Operating Performance: Core operations remain challenged. The Company incurred an operating loss of $182,125. While gross margins improved to 40.7% due to a favorable sales mix (higher consulting revenue), operating expenses increased by 8.9% year-over-year, primarily due to higher selling expenses.
• Liquidity: Cash provided by operating activities turned negative ($26,111 outflow) compared to a positive $391,776 in the prior year. Total cash on hand was $437,468 as of June 30, 2009.

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

• Going Concern: The filing explicitly states that the Company has suffered recurring operating losses and that current liabilities exceed current assets by approximately $4.7 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Continued operations depend on raising capital or generating positive cash flow.
• Debt Default: As of June 30, 2009, the Company is in default on all Secured Convertible Debentures held by YA Global Investments (formerly Cornell Capital Partners). The total principal due is $1,559,100 with accrued interest of $494,978. Management is negotiating to cure the default.
• Internal Controls: Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to limited segregation of duties and a lack of independent external board members.
• Future Strategy: Management plans to achieve profitability through acquisitions of companies in the business software and IT consulting market, though no specific targets or timelines were provided.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Debt Settlement Validity: Verify the terms and finality of the debt forgiveness agreement with Jerome R. Mahoney, which drove the majority of the reported net income.
• YA Global Default Status: Confirm the current status of negotiations regarding the defaulted convertible debentures ($1.56M principal) and the risk of forced conversion or litigation.
• Cash Runway: Assess the sufficiency of the $437,468 cash balance against the $4.7M working capital deficit and recurring operating losses.
• Related Party Transactions: Review the ongoing deferral of executive compensation (Mr. Mahoney and Mr. Meller) and the issuance of shares to settle liabilities.
• Internal Control Remediation: Determine if there is a concrete plan to address the ineffective internal controls regarding segregation of duties and board independence.
