Halo Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Organization, Merger, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
     Halo Technology Holdings, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation with its principal executive office in Greenwich, Connecticut. The Company changed its name to Halo Technology Holdings, Inc. from Warp Technology Holdings, Inc, effective April 2, 2006. As a consequence of the name change, the Company’s ticker symbol quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board changed from WARP to HALO. The new symbol has been effective since the open of business on Monday, April 3, 2006.
     The Company is a holding company whose subsidiaries operate enterprise software and information technology businesses. In addition to holding its existing subsidiaries, the Company’s strategy is to pursue acquisitions of businesses which either complement the Company’s existing businesses or expand the industries in which the Company operates.
     On January 31, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of Gupta Technologies, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Gupta”). Gupta is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Gupta’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Gupta Technologies GmbH, a German corporation, and Gupta Technologies Ltd., a U.K. company, have become indirect subsidiaries of the Company.
     Gupta develops, markets and supports software products that enable software programmers to create enterprise class applications, operating on either the Microsoft Windows or Linux operating systems that are used in large and small businesses and governmental entities around the world. Gupta’s products include a popular database application and a well-known set of application development tools. The relational database product allows companies to manage data closer to the customer, where capturing and organizing information is becoming increasingly critical. This product is designed for applications being deployed in situations where there are little or no technical resources to support and administer databases or applications.
     Gupta recently released its Linux product line. Compatible with its existing Microsoft Windows-based product line, the Linux line of products will enable developers to write one application to run in both Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems.

Segment
The Company has reviewed the provisions of SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” with respect to the criteria necessary to evaluate the number of operating segments that exist, based on its review the Company has determined that it operates in one segment.
Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share information for all periods is presented under the requirements of SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents. The dilutive effect of preferred

stock, warrants and options convertible into an aggregate of approximately 46,953,305 and 32,597,965 of common shares as of March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005, respectively, are not included as the inclusion of such would be anti-dilutive for all periods presented.
Stock-Based Compensation
     Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company used the intrinsic value method to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and had adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure.” Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) requires entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions). As a result, compensation cost of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2006 includes compensation expense for unvested portion of all the stock options outstanding and all the stock options granted after the effective date. No restatement has been made to prior periods. We had applied APB 25’s intrinsic value method up to December 31, 2005, and presented pro forma income statements in the footnote to show the effect of FAS123(R) as if it had been implemented in the prior periods. We will continue to do so to show the results of periods for which SFAS 123(R) was not effective in comparison to the results going forward.
     Had compensation costs for the Company’s stock option grants been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under these plans in accordance with SFAS 123(R), the Company’s net loss and loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts as follows:
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended  
    March 31,     March 31,  
    2006     2005     2006     2005

    331,772       47,500       461,342       406,500

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders pro forma
  $ (0.75 )   $ (4.12 )   $ (3.23 )   $ (9.97 )
     The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Company’s employee stock has characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
     The company used the following weighted-average assumptions in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006:
                 
    Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended
    March 31, 2006   March 31, 2006

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which establishes standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This standard requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. This eliminates the exception to account for such awards using the intrinsic method previously allowable under APB Opinion No. 25. For the Company, SFAS No. 123 (R) is effective as of January 1, 2006. The Company did not apply this method to prior periods. The impact on this new standard, if it had been in effect prior to January 1, 2006 is disclosed above in Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” Stock Based Compensation.
On March 29, 2005, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC or the Staff) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payment” (SAB 107). Although not altering any conclusions reached in SFAS 123(R), SAB 107 provides the views of the Staff regarding the interaction between SFAS 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and, among other things, provide the Staff’s views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. The Company will follow the interpretative guidance on share-based payment set forth in SAB 107.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” that applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. This statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. SFAS 154 will be effective for us for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. We do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have an impact on our overall results of operations or financial position.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,” that allows a preparer to elect fair value measurement at acquisition, at issuance, or when a previously recognized financial instrument is subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, in cases in which a derivative would otherwise have to be bifurcated. It also eliminates the exemption from applying Statement 133 to interests in securitized financial assets so that similar instruments are accounted for similarly regardless of the form of the instruments. This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have an impact on the Company’s overall results of operations or financial position.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” that applies to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. An entity should adopt this Statement as of the beginning of its first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 156 will have an impact on the Company’s overall results of operations or financial position.

Company. A copy of the 2005 Plan was filed as Appendix A to the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 7, 2005.

     On July 6, 2005 the Company purchased all of the stock of Kenosia Corporation (“Kenosia”) from Bristol Technology, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $1,800,000, subject to certain adjustments. Prior to the Closing, $800,000 of the Purchase Price was deposited into an escrow account, and subsequently released to Bristol at the Closing. The remainder of the Purchase Price is to be paid in two equal payments of $500,000 each, in cash. The first payment $447,175 (net of working capital adjustment) was made on September 1, 2005 and the second payment was made on January 31, 2006. The results of Kenosia acquisition are reflected in the combined statement of operations as of the date of acquisition.
     The Company’s management and the Board of directors believes that the purchase of Kenosia that resulted in approximately $589,000 of goodwill is justified because of Kenosia’s position in the marketplace and “Track record of positive cash flow”.

     The net purchase price for Kenosia was $1,815,020, after certain transaction costs and net working capital adjustments. The preliminary purchase price allocation, which is subject to adjustment, is as follows:
         
Cash
  $ 6,125

    312,750  
Other current assets
    15,000  
Fixed assets

Tesseract Merger Agreement and Amendment
     On October 26, 2005, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by that certain Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of September 12, 2005 by and among the Company and TAC/Halo, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), Tesseract Corporation (“Tesseract”) and Platinum Equity, LLC (“Platinum”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Merger Agreement (the “Amendment”) dated October 26, 2005 by and among such parties and TAC/Halo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“New Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Tesseract was merged with and into the New Merger Sub (the “Merger”) which survived as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Amendment provided that the Merger Consideration shall consist of (i) $4,500,000 in cash payable at Closing, (ii) 7,045,454 shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company, and (iii) $1,750,000 payable no later than March 31, 2006 and evidenced by a Promissory Note. The Amendment provided for a Working Capital Adjustment of $1,000,000 to be paid no later than November 30, 2005. If not paid by such date, at the option of the Seller, the Working Capital Adjustment may be converted into up to 1,818,181 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. Additionally, if the Working Capital Adjustment is not paid on or before November 30, 2005, the Company must pay Platinum a monthly transaction advisory fee of $50,000 per month, commencing December 1, 2005. As of March 31, 2006, the Working Capital Adjustment has not been paid or converted to Series D Preferred Stock. As such, the Company has accrued $200,000 for the advisory fee as of March 31, 2006. Under the Amendment, Platinum agrees to retain 909,091 shares of Series D Preferred Stock delivered as part of the Merger Consideration. If the Promissory Note is paid on or before March 31, 2006, Platinum will return for cancellation, without additional consideration from the Company, 909,091 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to the Company. The Amendment further provides that the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series D Preferred Stock will adjust to equal the rights, preferences and privileges of the next round of financing if such financing is a Qualified Equity Offering (as defined in the Amendment). If the next round is not a Qualified Equity Offering, the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series D Preferred Stock will adjust to equal the rights, preferences and privileges of the next round of financing at the option of the holder.

 


Table of Contents

     In connection with the issuance of Series D Preferred Stock, on October 26, 2005, the Company and Platinum entered into an Investor’s Agreement in order to provide Platinum with certain rights to register Conversion Shares (as defined in the Investor’s Agreement) issuable upon conversion of Series D Stock or as dividends or other distributions with respect to the Series D Stock or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement registering the Conversion Shares for resale within eighty (80) days after the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and to use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) at the earliest practicable date thereafter and to remain effective until the earlier of: (i) twenty-four (24) months after the date that the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC; (ii) the date when all the Conversion Shares are sold or (iii) the date when Rule 144(k) is available with respect to all of the securities covered by such Registration Statement.
     The Series D Stock has the following material terms:
      The Series D Stock will be convertible into Common Stock, at the option of the holder, at a conversion price (the “Applicable Conversion Price”) that will initially be equal to $1.10. Accordingly, the Series D Stock is convertible into Common Stock at a ratio equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the sum of the Series D Face Amount plus any accrued but unpaid dividends by the applicable Conversion Price, in effect at the time of conversion. However, the ratio is subject to adjustment pursuant to the anti-dilution protections extended to the holders of Series D Stock. Under the anti-dilution provisions, in the event the Company issues, at any time while shares of Series D Stock are still outstanding, shares of Common Stock or any type of securities convertible or exchangeable for, or otherwise giving a right to acquire, shares of Common Stock, at a price below the Applicable Conversion Price, then the Applicable Conversion Price will be adjusted to the price per share equal to the price per share paid for such Common Stock in such subsequent financing. In addition to the full-ratchet protection, the Applicable Conversion Price will be equitably adjusted in the event of any stock split, stock dividend or similar change in the Company’s capital structure.
      If the Company’s market capitalization based on the shares of Common Stock outstanding (including all shares of Common Stock underlying the Shares of Series D Stock on an as converted basis) exceeds $50,000,000, the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series D Stock are registered, and the Company has an average daily trading volume for 20 consecutive trading days of 100,000 shares per day, then the Company may require the holders of Series D Stock to convert the Series D Stock into Common Stock at the then Applicable Conversion Price.
      The holders of shares of Series D Stock will be entitled to receive dividends, at a 13% annual rate, payable quarterly in arrears beginning on March 21, 2006, either in cash, or at the election of the Company, in shares of Common Stock. The dividends are preferred dividends, payable in preference to any dividends which may be declared on the Series A 8% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series B 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. Common Stock delivered in payment of dividends will be valued at 90% of the average of the volume weighted average price for the 20 trading day period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date set for payment of the dividend.
      Any unconverted and non-redeemed Shares of Series D Stock outstanding on the third anniversary of the initial issuance of the Series D Stock, will be automatically redeemed on that date, in cash, at an amount per share equal to the sum of the Series D Face Amount, as adjusted, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (subject to equitable adjustment for all stock splits, stock dividends, or similar events involving a change in the capital structure of the Company).
      In the event of any liquidation of the Company, the Series D Stock will receive an amount equal to the Series D Face Amount, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, prior to any amounts being distributed to any other series of Preferred Stock or to the Common Stock holders. After payment of all liquidation preferences to all holders of Preferred Stock, including the Series D Stock, the entire remaining available assets, if any, shall be distributed among the holders of Common Stock, the holders of Series D Stock, and any other class or series of Preferred Stock entitled to participate with the Common Stock in a liquidating distribution, in proportion to the shares of Common Stock then held by them and the shares of Common Stock which they then have the right to acquire upon conversion of such shares of Preferred Stock held by them.
     The Company’s management and the Board of directors believes that the purchase of Tesseract that resulted in approximately $12,211,000 of goodwill is justified because of Tesseract position in the marketplace and its record of positive cash flow. The tax deductibility of the acquired goodwill is to be determined.
     The net purchase price for Tesseract was $14,126,500, after certain transaction costs. The preliminary purchase price allocation, which is subject to adjustment, is as follows:

     The Company financed the purchase price under the Purchase Agreement and the Merger Agreement in part with borrowings under its $50,000,000 credit facility with Fortress Credit Opportunities I LP and Fortress Credit Corp. On October 26, 2005, in connection with the closings of the above described transactions, the Company entered into Amendment Agreement No. 1 (“Amendment Agreement”) between the Company, Fortress Credit Opportunities I LP (“Lender”) and Fortress Credit Corp., as Agent (the “Agent”) relating to the Credit Agreement dated August 2, 2005 between the Company, the Subsidiaries of the Company listed in Schedule 1 thereto (the “Subsidiaries”), Fortress Credit Corp., as original lender (together with any additional lenders, the “Original Lenders”), and the Agent under which the Lender made an additional loan of $15,000,000 under Tranche B of the credit facility under the Credit Agreement, as more fully described below in Note 9 “Credit Agreement.”
     The Company’s results of operations include results of operations of Tesseract, Process and Affiliates since October 27, 2005.
     On March 31, 2006, the Company and Platinum entered into an Amendment and Consent (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the maturity of the $1,750,000 Promissory Note was modified such that the aggregate principal amount of the Note and all accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable as follows: (i) $1,000,000 on March 31, 2006; and (ii) the remaining $750,000 in principal, plus all accrued but unpaid interest on the earliest of (a) the second business day following the closing of the acquisition of Unify Corporation (“Unify”) by the Company, (b) the second business day following termination of the merger agreement pursuant to which Unify is to be acquired by the Company, (c) the second business day after the Company closes an equity financing of at least $2.0 million subsequent to the date of the Amendment or (d) July 31, 2006. In accordance with the Amendment, $1,000,000 was paid to Platinum on March 31, 2006. Since the entire amount of the Note was not paid on or before March 31, 2006, Platinum retained 909,091 shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company, which had been previously issued to Platinum under the Merger Agreement. In connection with the issuance of the 909,091 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the Company recorded $1,090,909 of interest expense for the period ended March 31, 2006.
Note 6. Acquisition of Empagio
     On January 13, 2006, the Company purchased Empagio, Inc. (“Empagio”), a human resources management software company whose signature product is its SymphonyHR hosted software solution which automates HR procedures and reduces paperwork, ranging from payroll to benefits administration. The Company issued 1,438,455 shares of its Common Stock valued at $1,869,992 to the shareholders of Empagio. Of the 1,438,455 shares, 107,884 shares were retained by the Company as security for Empagio Stockholder indemnification obligations under the Merger Agreement (the “Indemnity Holdback Shares”). The Indemnity Holdback Shares shall be released to the Empagio Stockholders on the later of (i) the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the date any indemnification issues pending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date are finally resolved. The total purchase price was $1,848,768 after net working capital adjustments and transaction costs.
     The purchase of Empagio resulted in approximately $1,737,000 of goodwill. The Company agreed to a transaction that resulted in a significant amount of goodwill for a number of reasons including: Empagio’s market position and brand; Empagio’s business model which complements the business models of certain of the Company’s other businesses; and growth opportunities in the markets in which Empagio operates. Empagio was acquired with the plan of merging with the Company’s other related businesses into Empagio. The Company’s Tesseract and ECI subsidiaries have been merged into Empagio. The predominant portion of the consideration paid for Empagio was based on the expected financial performance of Empagio and the combined business after the merger. The tax deductibility of the acquired goodwill is to be determined.
     The preliminary purchase price allocation, which is subject to adjustment, is as follows:

Note 9. Credit Agreement
     On August 2, 2005, the Company entered a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), with Fortress Credit Corp. as original lender (together with any additional lenders, the “Lenders”), and Fortress Credit Corp. as Agent (the “Agent”). In addition, the Company entered into a $10,000,000 Promissory Note (the “Note”) with the Lenders, an Intercreditor Agreement with the Lenders, the Agent and certain subordinated lenders (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), a security agreement with the Agent (the “Security Agreement”), Pledge Agreements with the Lender (the “Pledge Agreements”), and a Warrant Agreement with the Agent (the “Warrant Agreement”).
     Collectively the Credit Agreement, such other agreements and the subsidiary security agreements referenced below are referred to as the “Financing Documents”.
     The Credit Agreement and the other Financing Documents have the following material terms:
    Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders agreed to make available to the Company a term loan facility in three Tranches, Tranches A, B and C, in an aggregate amount equal to $50,000,000.
 
    The maximum amount of loans under Tranche A of the credit facility is $10,000,000. The purpose of amounts borrowed under Tranche A is to refinance certain of the Company’s existing debt and to pay certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing under the Credit Agreement.
 
    The maximum amount of loans under Tranche B of the credit facility is $15,000,000. Amounts borrowed under Tranche B may be used only to partially fund the acquisition by the Company of one or more companies, the acquisition costs related thereto, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement and to finance an agreed amount of working capital for the companies being acquired.
 
    The maximum amount of loans under Tranche C of the credit facility is $25,000,000. Amounts borrowed under Tranche C may be used only to partially fund the acquisition by the Company of one or more publicly-traded companies, the acquisition

      costs related thereto, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement and to finance an agreed amount of working capital for the companies being acquired.
 
    The Company has borrowed $10,000,000 under Tranche A of the credit facility to pay-off its existing senior indebtedness, in the aggregate principal amount of $6,825,000, plus accrued interest thereon, as well as certain existing subordinated indebtedness, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000. In addition, amounts borrowed under this Tranche A were used to pay certain closing costs, including the Lender’s legal fees, commitment fees, and other costs and expenses under the Credit Agreement amounting to $1,083,872. In addition, the Company paid $642,614 in consulting and other fees in connection with the credit facility and in connection with the Tranche B described below. These closing costs have been deferred, and will be amortized over 4 years. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, $121,634 and $251,784 respectively were amortized. The remaining balance of $664,003 was used for working capital needs.
 
    The obligation to repay the $10,000,000 principal amount borrowed at the closing, along with interest as described below, is further evidenced by the Note.
 
    Advances under Tranche B and Tranche C must be approved by the Lenders, and are subject to the satisfaction of all conditions precedent required by the Lenders including the condition that a default not occur under the loans as a result of the advance.
 
    The rate of interest (the “Interest Rate”) payable on the Loan for each calendar month (an “Interest Period”) is a floating percentage rate per annum equal to the sum of the “LIBOR” for that period plus the “Margin”. For theses purposes, LIBOR means for any Interest Period the rate offered in the London interbank market for U.S. Dollar deposits for the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating the Interest Rate, LIBOR shall at no time be less than a rate equal to 2.65%. For these purposes, “Margin” means 9% per annum. Interest is due and payable monthly in arrears.
 
    Provided there has been no event of default under the Loan, an amount of interest equal to 4% per annum that would otherwise be paid in cash instead may be paid in kind (“PIK”) by such amount being added to the principal balance of the Loan on the last day of each month. Such PIK amount will then accrue interest and be due and payable on the same terms and conditions as the Loan. The Company may, at its option, elect to terminate the PIK interest arrangement and instead pay such amount in cash. As of March 31, 2006, the Company accrued and expensed $532,770 in relation to the PIK interest.
 
    If any sum due and payable under the credit facility is not paid on the due date therefore, the Company shall be liable to pay interest on such overdue amount at a rate equal to the then current Interest Rate plus 3% per annum.
 
    Principal amounts due under the Loans begin to be amortized on August 2, 2006, with the complete Loan to be repaid in full no later than the Maturity Date which is four years after the closing. The repayment due within one year is $1,373,063 as of March 31, 2006. $873,000 for the fair value of the warrants issued in connection of this loan will also be accreted within one year. Net of these two amounts, $500,063, is classified under “Current portion of senior note payable” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
 
    A mandatory prepayment is required if, prior to the date which is 9 months after the Closing Date, (i) the Company has not borrowed under Tranche B, and (ii) the Company has not acquired (without the incurrence of any indebtedness) 100% of the equity interests of any new subsidiary which at the time of acquisition had a twelve month trailing EBITDA of greater than $1,000,000. If prepayments are required due to this reason, the amount of the prepayment is 85% of the “Excess Cash Flow”— which means, cash provided by operations by the Company and its subsidiaries determined quarterly less capital expenditures for such period, provided that the Company shall at all times be allowed to retain a minimum of $1,500,000 of cash for operating purposes. In addition, the Company must prepay the loan in full no later than the date which is 21 months after the Closing Date.
 
    The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants usual and customary for facilities and transactions of this type. These financial covenants include Total Debt to EBITDA, Cash Interest Coverage Ratio, and Fixed Charge Covenant Ratio as defined. In the event the Company completes further acquisitions, the Company and the Agent and lenders will agree upon modifications to the financial covenants to reflect the changes to the Company’s consolidated assets, liabilities, and expected results of operations in amounts to be mutually agreed to by the parties. The Company is in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

     Upon the completion of this offering, with a full round of investment of $10,000,000, the Series E investors will have the right for 15 months to invest, in the aggregate, an additional $10,000,000 in common stock of the Company, at $2.00 per share of common stock (as adjusted for stock splits, reverse splits, and stock dividends) or a 20% discount to the prior 30 day trading period, whichever is lower. Each such investor’s right shall be his, her or its pro rata amount of the initial offering.
     In the event that the Company completes or enters into agreements to sell equity securities on or before February 15, 2006, investors in Series E Stock may convert the securities received under the Series E Subscription Agreement into such other equity securities as if the investor had invested the amount invested in such securities. the Company will provide the Series E investors with five business days notice of such right. The investor will be required to execute and deliver all such transaction documents as required by the Company in order to convert such securities into such other securities.
     Certain of the transactions in connection with the Series E Subscription Agreement were entered into by Mr. David Howitt, a director of the Company. Mr. Howitt invested $350,000 under the Series E Notes, and agreed to convert the $150,000 short term loan he had made to the Company under the terms of Series E Subscription Agreement. Mr. Howitt recused himself from the Company board of directors decisions approving these transactions.
     Investors under the Series E Subscription Agreements have indicated to the Company that they intend to exercise the right described above and receive the same securities as were issued under the January 2006 Subscription Agreements.

     Each January 2006 Convertible Note shall convert into (i) such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount due under the January 2006 Convertible Note plus the amount of all accrued but unpaid interest on the January 2006 Convertible Note divided by $1.25, and (ii) warrants (the “January 2006 Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 75% of such number of shares of common stock. The January 2006 Convertible Notes shall so convert automatically (“Mandatory Conversion”) and with no action on the part of the holder on their Original Maturity Date to the extent that upon such conversion, the total number of shares of common stock then beneficially owned by such holder does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company common stock. For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In the event that a portion of the principal and interest under the January 2006 Convertible Notes has not been converted on the first Mandatory Conversion (and the holder has not demanded payment), there will be subsequent mandatory conversions until all of the principal and interest has been converted, provided that at each such Mandatory Conversion the total number of shares of common stock then beneficially owned by such lender does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Prior to any such mandatory conversion the holder may at its option by writing to the Company, convert all or a portion of the principal and interest due under such holder’s January 2006 Convertible Notes into common stock and January 2006 Warrants provided that at each such conversion the total number of shares of common stock then beneficially owned by such holder does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company common stock.

Each investor’s portion of this follow-on right shall be such investor’s pro rata amount of the January 2006 Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the January 2006 Subscription Agreements. Once the Company has issued a total of $5,000,000 of January 2006 Convertible Notes, the investors will be able to invest up to 50% of the amount which they may invest pursuant to this follow-on right; subsequent to the completion of the full round of $10,000,000 the investors may invest the remainder of the amount which they may invest pursuant to this follow-on right.

Note 11. Registration Rights
     The Company agreed, within forty-five (45) days after the closing of the Series C notes, Bridge Notes and Subordinated notes financing, to complete all required audits and make all related filings concerning the acquisition of Gupta. Within fifteen (15) days after the end of such 45-day period, the Company agreed to file a registration statement for the purpose of registering all of the Conversion Shares for resale, and to use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) at the earliest practicable date thereafter.
     If (i) the registration statement has not been filed with the Commission by the filing deadline or (ii) the registration statement has not been declared effective by the Commission before the date that is ninety (90) days after the filing deadline or, in the event of a review of the Registration Statement by the Commission, one hundred and twenty (120) days after the filing deadline, or (iii) after the registration statement is declared effective, the registration statement or related prospectus ceases for any reason to be available to the investors and noteholders as to all Conversion Shares the offer and sale of which it is required to cover at any time prior to the expiration of the effectiveness period (as defined in the Investors’ Agreement) for an aggregate of more than twenty (20) consecutive trading days or an aggregate of forty (40) trading days (which need not be consecutive) in any twelve (12) month period, the Company will pay to the Investors an amount in cash equal to 2% of the face value of the Series C Stock issued under the Subscription Agreement or upon conversion of the Bridge Notes, and 2% in cash of the principal amount of the Senior Notes and Subordinated Notes, and will continue to pay such 2% monthly penalties every thirty days until such registration statement if filed, declared effective and available to the investors at the earliest practicable date thereafter. The registration statement was filed after the date due. Accordingly, the Company may have incurred a penalty. The Company is seeking an acknowledgement from the affected investors that no penalty has yet incurred and that no such penalty will be incurred so long as the registration statement is declared effective within the applicable time period. If such acknowledgement is not forthcoming, the Company will seek a waiver of the penalty. As there can be no assurance it will receive an acknowledgement or waiver, the Company accrued $386,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
Note 12. Series C Subscription Agreement.
     On January 31, 2005, the Company entered into certain Series C Subscription Agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreement”), with the Investors.

Accordingly, the Company

Note 14. Acquisition of InfoNow
     On December 23, 2005, the Company entered into a Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with WTH Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and InfoNow Corporation (“InfoNow”) in a transaction valued at $7.2 million (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into InfoNow, with InfoNow surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
     Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was approved by both companies’ boards of directors, each share of InfoNow’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger will be converted into the right to receive approximately $0.71 in a combination of cash and common stock of the Company. The amount of cash per share to be received in the Merger by InfoNow stockholders will be determined by the amount of InfoNow’s cash on hand and net working capital available to it three days prior to the closing. The lesser of the two amounts will be paid in cash by the Company pro rata in proportion to each stockholder’s ownership in InfoNow at the closing of the Merger. The remainder of the approximately $0.71 per share Merger consideration will be paid in shares of the Company’s common stock, the value of which will be deemed to be the greater of $1.00 or the average closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the over-the-counter bulletin board for the twenty consecutive trading days ending two trading days prior to the closing of the Merger (the “HALO Conversion Price”). The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
     In addition, each InfoNow common stock option outstanding at the closing with an exercise price less than $0.71 per share will be converted into the right to receive cash and the Company common stock to the extent that the approximately $0.71 per share merger consideration exceeds the applicable exercise price. The amount of cash and the Company common stock to be issued in respect of the outstanding in-the-money stock options as described above will be calculated based upon the relative proportions of the cash and the Company common stock issued in the Merger in respect of the outstanding Company common stock.
     The Company will also issue a contingent value right (a “CVR”) in respect of each share of the Company’s common stock issued in the Merger. The CVRs will be payable on the 18-month anniversary of the closing date, and will entitle each holder thereof to an additional cash payment if the trading price of the Company’s common stock (based on a 20-day average) is less than the HALO Conversion Price. The CVRs will expire prior to the 18-month payment date if during any consecutive 45-day trading period during that time when the volume of the Company’s common stock is not less than 200,000 per day, the stock price is 175% of the HALO Conversion Price. The shares of the Company common stock and related CVRs to be issued in the Merger are expected to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
     The Merger Agreement includes representations and warranties regarding, among other things, InfoNow’s corporate organization and capitalization, the accuracy of its reports and financial statements filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the absence of certain changes or events relative to InfoNow since September 30, 2005, and InfoNow’s receipt of a fairness opinion regarding the Merger from its financial advisor. Similarly, the Company makes representations and warranties regarding, among other things, its corporate organization and capitalization and the accuracy of its reports and financial statements filed under the Exchange Act. The Merger Agreement also includes covenants governing, among other things, InfoNow’s and the Company’s operations outside the ordinary course of business prior to the closing. Consummation of the Merger is subject to several closing conditions, including, among others, approval by a majority of InfoNow’s common shares entitled to vote thereon, negotiation of the final terms of the CVR agreement and the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by HALO,

In addition, the Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights allowing InfoNow, HALO or both parties to terminate the agreement upon the occurrence of certain conditions, including the failure to consummate the Merger by July 31, 2006.

The amount of cash and the Company’s common stock to be issued in respect of the outstanding in-the-money stock options as described above will be calculated based upon the relative proportions of the cash and the Company common stock issued in the Merger in respect of the outstanding Company common stock.
     The Company will also issue a contingent value right (a “CVR”) in respect of each share of the Company’s common stock issued in the Merger. The CVRs will be payable on the 18-month anniversary of the closing date, and will entitle each holder thereof to an additional cash payment if the trading price of the Company’s common stock (based on a 20-day average) is less than the average closing price for the twenty consecutive trading days ending two trading days prior to the closing of the Merger (the “HALO Conversion Price”). The CVRs will expire prior to the 18-month payment date if during any consecutive 45-day trading period during that time when the volume of the Company’s common stock is not less than 200,000 per day, the stock price is 175% of the HALO Conversion Price.
     Consummation of the InfoNow transaction is subject to several closing conditions, including, among others, approval by a majority of InfoNow’s common shares entitled to vote thereon, negotiation of the final terms of the CVR agreement and the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by the Company, registering the shares of the Company’s common stock and related CVRs to be issued in the Merger. In addition, the Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights allowing InfoNow, the Company or both parties to terminate the agreement upon the occurrence of certain conditions, including the failure to consummate the Merger by July 31, 2006.
Agreement to Acquire Unify Corporation
On March 14, 2006, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and between UCA Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Unify Corporation (“Unify”) in a transaction valued at approximately $21 million based on Halo’s then current market valuation (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Unify, with Unify surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of HALO. In connection with the Merger Agreement, two shareholders of Unify representing approximately thirty-three percent (33%) of outstanding voting rights of Unify have executed stockholder agreements which, subject to limited exceptions, require these stockholders to vote their Unify shares in favor of the Merger.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was approved by the boards of directors of each of HALO and Unify, each share of Unify’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger will be converted into the right to receive 0.437 shares of common stock of HALO (the “Exchange Ratio”). The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
In addition, each outstanding option to purchase shares of common stock of Unify that has an exercise price of less than $1.00 per share shall become and represent an option to purchase the number of shares of HALO common stock (rounded down to the nearest full share) determined by multiplying (X) the number of shares of Unify common stock subject to the option immediately prior to the

effective time of the Merger by (Y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of HALO common stock equal to the result of dividing (A) the exercise price of the Unify option by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the result up to the nearest tenth of one cent. All other outstanding options to purchase Unify common stock shall be cancelled at the effective time of the Merger. The HALO options issued in substitution of Unify options shall contain substantially the same terms and conditions as the applicable Unify options.
Each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of common stock of Unify shall become and represent a warrant to purchase the number of shares of HALO common stock (rounded down to the nearest full share) determined by multiplying (X) the number of shares of Unify common stock subject to the warrant immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger by (Y) the Exchange Ratio. The exercise price for the HALO shares issuable upon exercise of the HALO warrants issued in replacement of the Unify warrants shall be $1.836 per share. The HALO warrants issued in substitution of Unify Warrants shall contain substantially the same terms and conditions as the applicable Unify warrants.
The Merger Agreement includes representations and warranties regarding, among other things, Unify’s corporate organization and capitalization, the accuracy of its reports and financial statements filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the absence of certain changes or events relative to Unify since January 31, 2006, and Unify’s receipt of a fairness opinion regarding the Merger from its financial advisor. Similarly, HALO makes representations and warranties regarding, among other things, its corporate organization and capitalization and the accuracy of its reports and financial statements filed under the Exchange Act.
The Merger Agreement also includes covenants governing, among other things, Unify’s and HALO’s operations outside the ordinary course of business prior to the closing.
Consummation of the Merger is subject to several closing conditions, including, among others, approval by a majority of Unify’s common shares entitled to vote thereon, holders of less than ten percent (10%) of Unify’s outstanding common stock exercising appraisal or dissenter’s rights, HALO receiving a new equity investment of at least $2.0 million, HALO converting certain of its outstanding convertible debt into common stock of HALO, no material adverse change in the business or condition of either company prior to the effective time of the Merger, and the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by HALO, registering the shares of HALO common stock to be issued in the Merger. In addition, the Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights allowing Unify, HALO or both parties to terminate the agreement upon the occurrence of certain conditions, including the failure to consummate the Merger by September 30, 2006.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which establishes standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This standard requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. This eliminates the exception to account for such awards using the intrinsic method previously allowable under APB Opinion No. 25. For the Company, SFAS No. 123 (R) is effective as of January 1, 2006. The Company did not apply this method to prior periods. The impact on this new standard, if it had been in effect prior to January 1, 2006 is disclosed above in Note 2 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” Stock Based Compensation.
On March 29, 2005, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC or the Staff) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payment” (SAB 107). Although not altering any conclusions reached in SFAS 123(R), SAB 107 provides the views of the Staff regarding the interaction between SFAS 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and, among other things, provide the Staff’s views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. The Company will follow the interpretative guidance on share-based payment set forth in SAB 107.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” that applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. This statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is

 


Table of Contents

impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. SFAS 154 will be effective for us for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. We do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have an impact on our overall results of operations or financial position.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,” that allows a preparer to elect fair value measurement at acquisition, at issuance, or when a previously recognized financial instrument is subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, in cases in which a derivative would otherwise have to be bifurcated. It also eliminates the exemption from applying Statement 133 to interests in securitized financial assets so that similar instruments are accounted for similarly regardless of the form of the instruments. This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have an impact on the Company’s overall results of operations or financial position.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” that applies to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. An entity should adopt this Statement as of the beginning of its first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 156 will have an impact on the Company’s overall results of operations or financial position.
Critical Accounting Policies
     The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities.
     On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and accounting for intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
     We have identified the accounting policies below as the policies critical to the Company’s business operations and the understanding of the Company’s results of operations. We believe the following critical accounting policies and the related judgments and estimates affect the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements:
Revenue Recognition
     The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition.
     Revenues are derived from the licensing of software, maintenance contracts, training, and other consulting services.
     In arrangements that include rights to multiple software products and/or services, the Company allocates and defers revenue for the undelivered items, based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value, and recognizes the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered items as revenue. Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for undelivered elements of an arrangement is based upon the normal pricing and discounting practices for those products and services when sold separately and for maintenance contracts, is additionally measured by the renewal rate offered to the customer. In arrangements in which the Company does not have vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value of maintenance, and maintenance is the only undelivered item, the Company recognizes the total arrangement fee ratably over the contractual maintenance term.

 


Table of Contents

     Software license revenues are recognized upon receipt of a purchase order and delivery of software, provided that the license fee is fixed or determinable; no significant production, modification, or customization of the software is required; and collection is considered probable by management. For licensing of Company’s software through its indirect sales channel, revenue is recognized when the distributor sells the software to its end-users, including value-added resellers. For licensing of software to independent software vendors, revenue is recognized upon shipment to the independent software vendors.
     Service revenue for maintenance contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. Revenue from training and other consulting services is recognized as the related services are performed.
Business Combinations and Deferred Revenue.
     In accordance with business combination accounting, we allocate the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values. We engage third-party appraisal firms to assist management in determining the fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such a valuation requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets and deferred revenue.
     Management makes estimates of fair value based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable. These estimates are based on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain. Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows from license sales, maintenance agreements, consulting contracts, customer contracts and acquired developed technologies and patents; the acquired company’s brand awareness and market position, as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired brand will continue to be used in the combined company’s product portfolio; and discount rates. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.
We have acquired several software companies in fiscal 2006, and we plan to make more acquisitions in the future. Acquired deferred revenue is recognized at fair value to the extent it represents a legal obligation assumed by us in accordance with EITF 01-03, “Accounting in a Business Combination for Deferred Revenue of an Acquiree.” Under this guidance, the Company estimates fair values of acquired deferred revenue by adding an approximated normal profit margin to the estimated cost required to fulfill the obligation underlying the deferred revenue. As a result of this valuation, the deferred revenues of the acquired companies normally decrease substantially. In the enterprise software industry, this reduction averages between forty to sixty percent of the original balance. The reduction of the deferred revenue has a negative effect on the recognized revenue until the deferred revenue balance builds up to a normal level of the acquired business. The length of this effect depends on contracts underlying the deferred revenue. As the Company continues to acquire more businesses in the enterprise software industry, the effect of this deferred revenue valuation will have significant effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Product Development Costs
     Product development costs incurred in the process of developing product improvements and enhancements or new products are charged to expense as incurred. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on the Company’s product development process, technological feasibility is established upon the completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the Company between the completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release has been insignificant.
Intangible assets and Goodwill
     Intangible assets are primarily comprised of customer relationships, developed technology, trade names and contracts. Goodwill represents acquisition costs in excess of the net assets of businesses acquired. In accordance with SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” goodwill is no longer amortized; instead goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis. We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles and goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
    Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
 
    Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and
 
    Significant negative industry or economic trends.
     When we determine that the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, we record an impairment charge. We measure any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. Trade names are considered to have indefinite life. All other intangibles are being amortized over their estimated useful life of three to ten years.
     We have recorded a significant amount of goodwill on our balance sheet. As of March 31, 2006, goodwill was approximately $32 million, representing approximately 48% of our total assets and approximately 52% of our long-lived assets subject to depreciation, amortization and impairment. In the future, goodwill may increase as a result of additional acquisitions we will make. Goodwill is recorded on the date of acquisition and is reviewed at least annually for impairment. Impairment may result from, among other things, deterioration in the performance of our business, adverse market conditions and a variety of other circumstances. Any future determination requiring the write-off of a significant portion of the goodwill recorded on our balance sheet could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
     Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company used the intrinsic value method to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and had adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure.” Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) requires entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions). As a result, compensation cost of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2006 includes compensation expense for unvested portion of all the stock options outstanding and all the stock options granted after the effective date. No restatement has been made to prior periods. We had applied APB 25’s intrinsic value method up to December 31, 2005, and presented pro forma income statements in the footnote to show the effect of FAS123(R) as if it had been implemented in the prior periods. We will continue to do so to show the results of periods for which SFAS 123(R) was not effective in comparison to the results going forward.

Revenue
     Revenue is derived from the licensing of software, maintenance contracts, training, and other consulting services. License revenue is derived from licensing of our software and third-party software products. Services revenue results from consulting and education services, and maintaining, supporting and providing periodic unspecified upgrades for previously licensed products.
     Total revenue increased by $5.9 million to $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Gupta, $774,000, Kenosia, $467,000, Empagio, $2.2 million, and Process and Affiliates, $2.4 million.
     Total revenue increased by $14.2 million to $16.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 from $2.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Gupta, $6.5 million, Kenosia, $935,000, Empagio, $2.9 million, and Process and Affiliates, $4.1 million.
     License revenue increased by $126,000 to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Kenosia, $41,000, Empagio, $19,000, and Process and Affiliates, $519,000. This was offset by a decrease in Gupta’s license revenue of $505,000 due to a one-time large sale in the three months ended March 31, 2005.
     License revenue increased by $2.7 million to $4.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 from $1.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Gupta, $1.8 million, Kenosia, $131,000, Empagio, $20,000, and Process and Affiliates, $948,000.
     Services revenue increased by $5.7 million to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $730,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Gupta, $1.3 million, Kenosia, $426,000, Empagio, $2.1 million, and Process and Affiliates, $1.9 million.
     Services revenue increased $11.4 million to $12.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 from $783,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Gupta, $4.7 million, Kenosia, $804,000, Empagio, $2.9 million, and Process and Affiliates, $3.1 million.
     Because of the reduction of deferred revenue after an acquisition under generally accepted accounting principles, which has the effect of reducing the amount of revenue recognized in a given period from what would have been recognized had the acquisition not occurred, past reported periods should not be relied upon as predictive of future performance. Additionally, the Company’s operating strategy is to continue to acquire technology companies. Each of such transactions will cause a change to our future financial results. The Company believes such transactions will have a positive effect on the Company’s revenues and income (loss) before interest.

Cost of Revenue
     Total cost of revenue increased by $1.5 million to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $303,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Gupta, $78,000, Kenosia, $110,000, Empagio, $619,000, and Process and Affiliates, $703,000.
     Total cost of revenue increased by $3 million to $3.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 from $413,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Gupta, $852,000, Kenosia, $287,000, Empagio, $847,000, and Process and Affiliates, $1.1 million.
     The principal components of cost of license fees are manufacturing costs, shipping costs, royalties paid to third-party software vendors, and amortization of acquired technologies. Cost of license revenue increased by $255,000 to $403,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $148,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Gupta, $36,000, Empagio, $69,000 and Process and Affiliates, $177,000. This increase was partially offset by a $33,000 decrease in amortization of acquired technologies due to a write-off of intangible assets related to the Warp Solutions business in June 2005.
     Cost of license revenue increased by $667,000 to $926,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 from $259,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Gupta, $349,000, Kenosia, $28,000, Empagio, $118,000 and Process and Affiliates, $316,000. This increase was partially offset by a $85,000 decrease in amortization of acquired technologies due to a write-off of intangible assets related to the Warp Solutions business in June 2005.
     The principal components of cost of services are salaries paid to our customer support personnel and professional services personnel, amounts paid for contracted professional services personnel and third-party resellers, maintenance royalties paid to third-party software vendors and hardware costs. Cost of services revenue increased by $1.2 million to 1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $154,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in employee compensation directly related to additional headcounts added in conjunction with the acquisitions of Gupta, $43,000, Kenosia, $103,000, Empagio, $550,000, and Process and Affiliates, $526,000.
     Cost of services revenue increased by $2.3 million to 2.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 from $154,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in employee compensation directly related to additional headcounts added in conjunction with the acquisitions of Gupta, $503,000, Kenosia, $260,000, Empagio, $729,000, and Process and Affiliates, $829,000.
     Gross profit margins were 78% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to 87% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Gross profit margins decreased to 80% for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, compared to 84% for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. The gross margin decrease was mainly due to the change in the product mix (increase in the proportion of maintenance and services revenue) the Company sells from the new subsidiaries.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
     Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses for engineering personnel, expensable hardware and software costs, overhead costs and costs of contractors. Research and development expenses increased by approximately $1.2 million to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $617,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. This increase primarily resulted from the acquisition of Gupta, $160,000, Kenosia, $102,000, Empagio, $214,000, and Process and Affiliates, $693,000.
     Research and development expenses increased by approximately $3.6 million to $4.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 from $729,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. This increase primarily resulted from the acquisitions of Gupta, $1.8 million, Kenosia, $227,000, Empagio, $451,000, and Process and Affiliates, $1.1 million. To date, all software development costs have been expensed as incurred.
Sales and Marketing

 


Table of Contents

     Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, benefits, advertising, tradeshows, travel and overhead costs for the Company’s sales, marketing, and business development personnel. Sales and marketing expenses increased by approximately $645,000 to $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Gupta, $329,000, Kenosia, $76,000, Empagio, $56,000, and Process and Affiliates, $350,000.
     Sales and marketing expenses increased by approximately $3.6 million to $5.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 from $1.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Gupta, $3 million, Kenosia, $116,000, Empagio, $105,000, and Process and Affiliates, $616,000.
General and Administrative
     General and administrative costs include salaries and other direct employment expenses of our administrative and management employees, as well as legal, accounting and consulting fees and bad debt expense. General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $2.6 million to $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Gupta, $157,000, Kenosia, $189,000, Empagio, $1.1 million, and Process and Affiliates, $1.2 million. There was also an increase of approximately $561,000 in corporate headcount to manage the increasing size and complexity of the Company’s operations, as the Company has acquired new subsidiaries, as well as professional services fees associated with the acquisitions, securities laws, and tax compliance. However, this increase in corporate expenses was almost entirely offset by a decrease in non-cash compensation of approximately $533,000.
     General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $6.6 million to $9.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 from $3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Gupta, $2.2 million, Kenosia, $508,000, Empagio, $1.5 million, and Process and Affiliates, $2.1 million. There was also an increase of approximately $1 million in corporate headcount to manage the increasing size and complexity of the Company’s operations, as the Company has acquired new subsidiaries, as well as professional services fees associated with the acquisitions, securities laws, and tax compliance. However, this increase in corporate expenses was almost entirely offset by a decrease in non-cash compensation of approximately $803,000.
Interest Expense
     Interest expense increased by $586,000 to $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to Series D Preferred Stock paid as penalty of $1,091,000 (see Note 5) and cash interest and the conversion of interest into common stock of $823,000. The increase was partially offset by the decrease in accretion of the fair values of the warrants of $366,000 and the decrease in the amortization of the deferred financing costs of $941,000. There were also insignificant changes in miscellaneous categories.
     Interest expense increased by $4.1 million to $6.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 from $2.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to Series D Preferred Stock paid as penalty of $1,091,000 (see Note 5), accretion of warrants of $1.5 million, and cash interest and the conversion of interest into common stock of $2.1 million. The increase was partially offset by the decrease in the amortization of the deferred financing costs of $567,000. There were also insignificant changes in miscellaneous categories.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
     Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors and our creditors, to assess:
  the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis;
  the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest on our indebtedness; and
  our operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to those of other companies in the software business, without regard to financing methods and capital structure,
     EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and operating income, and these measures may vary among other companies. Therefore, EBITDA as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Net Operating Loss Carryforwards
     The Company has a U.S. Federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $45,989,000 as of March 31, 2006, which may be used to reduce taxable income in future years through the year 2025. The deferred tax asset primarily resulting from net operating losses was approximately $19,034,000. Due to uncertainty surrounding the realization of the favorable tax attributes in future tax returns, the Company has placed a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset. At such time as it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset is realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced. Furthermore, the net operating loss carryforward may be subject to further limitation pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     The Company has three primary cash needs. These are (1) operations, (2) acquisitions and (3) debt service and repayment. The Company has financed a significant component of its cash needs through the sale of equity securities and debt.
     For the nine months ended March 31, 2006, cash provided by operating activities was approximately $666,000. The net loss of $12.7 million was after the following non-cash items: non-cash interest expense of $4.3 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $2.1 million, and non-cash compensation expense of $677,000. The components of cash provided by operating activities also included an increase in deferred revenue of $6.2 million, accounts receivable of $317,000, and insignificant changes in miscellaneous balance sheet categories. The Company also acquired additional cash through various credit and note agreements

described below. Approximately $17,113,000 was used to fund acquisitions, and approximately $10,375,000 was used to repay the principal portion of the outstanding debt.
     The Company entered into a $50,000,000 credit facility with Fortress Credit Opportunities LP and Fortress Credit Corp. on August 2, 2005 (“Credit Agreement”). The Company immediately borrowed $10,000,000 under Tranche A of the credit facility to pay-off its existing senior indebtedness, in the aggregate principal amount of $6,825,000, plus accrued interest thereon, as well as certain existing subordinated indebtedness, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000. In addition, amounts borrowed under this Tranche A were used to pay certain closing costs, including the Lender’s legal fees, commitment fees, and other costs and expenses under the Credit Agreement amounting to $1,083,872. On October 26, 2005, in connection with the closings of the acquisitions of Tesseract, DAVID Corporation, Process Software, ProfitKey International, and Foresight Software, Inc., the Company entered into Amendment Agreement No. 1 (“Amendment Agreement”) between the Company, Fortress Credit Opportunities LLP (“Lender”) and Fortress Credit Corp., as Agent (the “Agent”) relating to the Credit Agreement dated August 2, 2005 between the Company, the Subsidiaries of the Company listed in Schedule 1 thereto (the “Subsidiaries”), Fortress Credit Corp., as original lender (together with any additional lenders, the “Original Lenders”), and the Agent under which the Lender made an additional loan of $15,000,000 under Tranche B of the credit facility under the Credit Agreement.
     The rate of interest (the “Interest Rate”) payable on the loan for each calendar month (an “Interest Period”) is a floating percentage rate per annum equal to the sum of the “LIBOR” for that period plus the “Margin”. For theses purposes, LIBOR means for any Interest Period the rate offered in the London interbank market for U.S. Dollar deposits for the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating the Interest Rate, LIBOR shall at no time be less than a rate equal to 2.65%. For these purposes, “Margin” means 9% per annum. Interest is due and payable monthly in arrears.
     The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants usual and customary for facilities and transactions of this type. The Company is currently in compliance with these financial covenants. The Company anticipates that due to recent transactions, as well as the InfoNow and Unify acquisitions, certain of the covenants under the Credit Agreement may have to be modified in order for the Company to continue to comply for future periods. The Company has engaged in discussions with Fortress, and anticipates negotiating appropriate modifications to the covenants to reflect these changes in the Company’s business as they occur. In the event the Company completes further acquisitions, the Company and the other parties to the Credit Agreement will agree upon modifications to the financial covenants to reflect the changes to the Company’s consolidated assets, liabilities, and expected results of operations in amounts to be mutually agreed to by the parties. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides that in the event of certain changes of control, including (i) a reduction in the equity ownership in the Company of Ron Bienvenu or his immediate family members below 90% of such equity interests on the date of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) Ron Bienvenu ceases to perform his current management functions and is not replaced within 90 days by a person satisfactory to Fortress, all amounts due may be declared immediately due and payable. The Credit Agreement contains specific events of default, including failure to make a payment, the breach of certain representations and warranties, and insolvency events. There is also a “cross-default” provision that provides that certain events of default under certain contracts between the Company or its subsidiaries and third parties will constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement.
     On September 20, 2005, the Company entered into a Promissory Note (the “September 2005 Note”) in the principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). Interest accrues under the September 2005 Note at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The principal amount of the September 2005 Note, together with accrued interest, was due and payable 90 days after the date it was entered into, December 19, 2005, unless the Promissory Note was converted into debt or equity securities of the Company. As of March 31, 2006, the Company has not repaid this Promissory Note or converted it into debt or equity securities. On January 11, 2006, the holder of this note agreed to convert the $500,000 principal (plus accrued interest) into equity securities of the Company under the Series E Subscription Agreement described below. Under the Series E Subscription Agreement, the holder of the September 2005 note had the right, in the event that the Company completed or entered into agreements to sell equity securities on or before February 15, 2006, to convert the securities received under the Series E Subscription Agreement into such other equity securities as if the investor had invested the amount invested in such securities. The holder of the September 2005 Note has indicated to the Company that it intends to exercise this right and receive the same securities as were issued under the January 2006 Subscription Agreements described below.
     Also on September 20, 2005, the Company issued to the holder of the September 2005 Note a Warrant to purchase 181,818 shares of common stock of the Company. The Warrant was issued in connection with the September 2005 Note described above. The exercise price for the Warrant shares is $1.375, subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant. The Warrant is exercisable until September 20, 2010.
     On October 14, 2005, one of the Company’s directors, David Howitt, made a short-term loan to the Company for $150,000. On January 11, 2006, Mr. Howitt agreed to convert the principal (plus accrued interest) under this loan into equity securities of the Company under the Series E Subscription Agreement described below. Since then, Mr. Howitt has indicated to the Company that he intends to exercise this right under the Series E Subscription Agreement to receive the same securities as were issued under the January 2006 Subscription Agreements described below.
     On October 21, 2005, the Company entered into certain convertible promissory notes (the “October 2005 Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). Interest accrues under the October 2005 Notes at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The principal amount of the October 2005 Notes, together with accrued interest, was due February 19, 2006, or 90 days after the date the notes were entered into, unless the October 2005 Notes were converted into debt or equity securities of the Company in the Company’s next financing involving sales by the Company of a class of its preferred stock or convertible debt securities, or any other similar or equivalent financing transaction.
     Also on October 21, 2005, the Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 363,636 shares of common stock of the Company in connection with the October 2005 Notes described above. The exercise price for the Warrant shares is $1.375, subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant. The Warrants are exercisable for five years after the date of the Warrants.
     As of March 31, 2006, $500,000 of the principal amount under the October 2005 Notes, plus $19,028 accrued interest, has been paid. On January 11, 2006, the holder of the remaining $500,000 October 2005 Note agreed to convert the $500,000 principal (plus accrued interest) under this October 2005 Note into equity securities of the Company under the Series E Subscription Agreement described below. Subsequently, the holder of the October 2005 Note has indicated to the Company that it intends to exercise its right under the Series E Subscription Agreement to receive the same securities as were issued under the January 2006 Subscription Agreements described below.
     On October 26, 2005, as part of the Merger Consideration under the Tesseract Merger Agreement, the Company issued a Promissory Note in the amount of $1,750,000 to Platinum. The principal under the Promissory Note accrues interest at a rate of 9.0% per annum. The principal and accrued interest under the Promissory Note are due on March 31, 2006. Interest is payable in registered shares of common stock of the Company, provided that until such shares are registered, interest shall be paid in cash. The Promissory Note contains certain negative covenants including that the Company will not incur additional indebtedness, other than permitted indebtedness under the Promissory Note. Under the Promissory Note, the following constitute an Event of Default: (a) the Company shall fail to pay the principal and interest when due and payable: (b) the Company fails to pay any other amount under the Promissory Note when due and payable: (c) any representation or warranty of the Company was untrue or misleading in any material respect when made; (d) there shall have occurred an acceleration of the state maturity of any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or any Subsidiary of $50,000 or more in aggregate principal amount; (e) the Company shall sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any substantial portion of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, participate in any share exchange, consummate any recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization or other business combination transaction or adopt a plan of liquidation or dissolution or agree to do any of the foregoing; (f) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $50,000 shall have been rendered against the Company or any subsidiary; (g) the Company breaches any covenant set forth in Section 4 of the Promissory Note; or (h) an Insolvency Event (as defined in the Promissory Note) occurs with respect to the Company or a subsidiary.
     Upon an Event of Default, the Holder may, at its option, declare all amounts owed under the Promissory Note to be due and payable.
     On March 31, 2006, the Company and Platinum entered into an Amendment and Consent, (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the maturity of the Note was modified such that the aggregate principal amount of the Note and all accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable as follows: (i) $1,000,000 on March 31, 2006; and (ii) the remaining $750,000 in principal, plus all accrued but unpaid interest on the earliest of (a) the second business day following the closing of the acquisition of Unify Corporation (“Unify”) by the Company, (b) the second business day following termination of the merger agreement pursuant to which Unify is to be acquired by the Company, (c) the second business day after the Company closes an equity financing of at least $2.0 million subsequent to the date of the Amendment or (d) July 31, 2006. In accordance with the Amendment, $1,000,000 was paid to Platinum on March 31, 2006. Since the entire amount of the Note was not paid on or before March 31, 2006, Platinum retained 909,091 shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company, which had been previously issued under the tesseract Merger Agreement.
     The Tesseract Merger Agreement also provided for a Working Capital Adjustment of $1,000,000 to be paid no later than November 30, 2005. Since the Working Capital Adjustment was not paid by such date, at the option of Platinum, the Working Capital Adjustment may be converted into up to 1,818,181 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. Additionally, since the Working Capital Adjustment was not paid on or before November 30, 2005, the Company must pay Platinum a monthly transaction advisory fee of $50,000 per month, commencing December 1, 2005.
     On January 11, 2006, the Company entered into certain convertible promissory notes (the “Series E Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000). Interest accrues under the Series E Notes at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The Notes provide that they automatically convert into (i) such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of The Company’s Series E Preferred Stock (the “Series E Stock”) equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount due under the Series E Notes plus the amount of all accrued but unpaid interest under the Series E Notes divided by $1.25, and (ii) warrants (the “Series E Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 40% of such number of shares of Series E Stock issued to the holder. Under the terms of the Series E Notes, the automatic conversion was to occur upon the effectiveness of the filing of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights (the “Certificate of Designations”) pertaining to the Company’s Series E Stock, and, in the event that the Certificate of Designations was not filed 30 days after the Series E Notes were issued (February 10, 2006) then the holders of the Series E Notes may demand that the Company pay the principal amount of the Series E Notes, together with accrued interest. No demand for payment has been made.
     Under the Series E Subscription Agreements described below, holders of the Series E Notes had the right, in the event that the Company completed or entered into agreements to sell equity securities on or before February 15, 2006, to convert the Series E Notes into such other equity securities as if the investor had invested the amount invested in such securities. The holders of the Series E Notes have indicated to the Company that they intend to exercise this right and receive the same securities as were issued under the January 2006 Subscription Agreements. The terms of the January 2006 Subscription Agreements are described more fully below.
     Also on January 11, 2006, the Company entered into certain Subscription Agreements (the “Series E Subscription Agreements”) for the sale of Series E Stock and Series E Warrants. In addition to the conversion of the principal and interest under the Series E Notes described above, investors under the Series E Subscription Agreements committed to convert the $150,000 short term loan made by Mr. Howitt, the $500,000 principal (plus accrued interest) under the September 2005 Note, and the $500,000 principal (plus accrued interest) under the outstanding October 2005 Note (each as described above). Accordingly, the Company has taken the position that these notes were amended by the Series E Subscription Agreement. Also under the Series E Subscription Agreement, an investor agreed to convert $67,500 in certain advisory fees due from the Company into Series E Stock and Warrants. The material terms of the Series E Subscription Agreements are described more fully at Note 10.
     Since the Company entered into the January 2006 Subscription Agreements before February 15, 2006, investors in Series E Stock may convert the securities received under the Series E Subscription Agreement into such other equity securities as if the investor had invested the amount invested in such securities. The Company will provide the Series E investors with five business days notice of such right. The investor will be required to execute and deliver all such transaction documents as required by the Company in order to convert such securities into such other securities.
     Certain of the transactions in connection with the Series E Subscription Agreement were entered into by Mr. David Howitt, a director of the Company. Mr. Howitt invested $350,000 under the Series E Notes, and agreed to convert the $150,000 short term loan he had made to the Company under the terms of Series E Subscription Agreement. Mr. Howitt recused himself from the the Company board of directors decisions approving these transactions.
     All the investors under the Series E Subscription Agreements have indicated to the Company that they intend to exercise the right described above and receive the same securities as were issued under the January 2006 Subscription Agreements. The terms of the January 2006 Subscription Agreements are described more fully below.
     On January 27 and on January 30, 2006, the Company entered into certain convertible promissory notes (the “January 2006 Convertible Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of One Million Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($1,375,000). The principal amount of the January 2006 Convertible Notes, together with accrued interest, shall be due and payable on demand by the holder thereof on the maturity date which is no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date such January 2006 Convertible Notes were issued (the “Original Maturity Date”), unless the January 2006 Convertible Notes are converted into common stock and warrants as described below. In the event that the January 2006 Convertible Notes are not converted by their Original Maturity Date, interest will begin to accrue at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.
     Each January 2006 Convertible Note shall convert into (i) such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount due under the January 2006 Convertible Note plus the amount of all accrued but unpaid interest on the January 2006 Convertible Note divided by $1.25, and (ii) warrants (the “January 2006 Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 75% of such number of shares of common stock. The January 2006 Convertible Notes shall so convert automatically (“Mandatory Conversion”) and with no action on the part of the holder on their Original Maturity Date to the extent that upon such conversion, the total number of shares of common stock then beneficially owned by such holder does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company common stock.
     Also on January 27 and January 30, 2006, the Company entered into certain Subscription Agreements (the “January 2006 Subscription Agreements”) for the sale of the January 2006 Convertible Notes and the underlying common stock and January 2006 Warrants.
     The material terms of the January 2006 Subscription Agreements are as follows. the Company and the investors under the January 2006 Subscription Agreements made certain representations and warranties customary in private financings, including representations from the Investors that they are “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) under the Securities Act, and the agreements provide for certain registration rights as well as follow-on investment rights. See Note 10.

     The Company accrued $1,033,500 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 for potential penalties as described in notes 11 and 12 to the financial statements included in this report.
     For the nine months ended March 31, 2006, the Company used approximately $17,204,000 for investing activities. During the same period, the Company paid approximately $507,000 in cash as part of consideration to acquire Kenosia, approximately $16,048,000 in cash as part of consideration to purchase Tesseract, Process, David, Profitkey, and Foresight from Platinum Equity, LLC, and approximately $558,000 in cash as part of consideration to purchase Executive Consultants, Inc.
     As of March 31, 2006, the Company had debt that matures in the next 12 months in the amount of approximately $4,792,000. This consists of $1,750,000 payable to Platinum Equity, LLC (seller of Tesseract, Process, David, Profitkey, and Foresight), $3,347,000 notes payable to other investors. The $500,000 note payable to Bristol Technology, Inc. has been paid off in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The Company has also taken additional debt in the amount of $700,000 and $1,375,000 in January 2006, both of which are expected to be paid in equity securities. In addition, the principal amounts due under the Credit Agreement with Fortress begin to amortize on August 2, 2006. The repayment for this loan due within one year is $1,373,063 as of March 31, 2006.
     The Company continues to evaluate strategic alternatives, including opportunities to strategically grow the business, enter into strategic relationships, make acquisitions or enter into business combinations. The Company can provide no assurance that any such strategic alternatives will come to fruition and may elect to terminate such evaluations at any time.
     The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including cash flow from operations, continued progress in research and development programs, competing technological and market developments, and the Company’s ability to maintain its current customers and successfully market its products, as well as any future acquisitions it undertakes. The Company intends to meet its cash needs, as in the past, through cash generated from operations, the proceeds of privately placed equity issuances and debt. Even without further acquisitions, in order to meet its financial obligations including repayment of outstanding debt obligations, the Company will have to issue further equity and engage in further debt transactions. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in such efforts. In the absence of such further financing, the Company will either be unable to meet its debt obligations or with have to significantly restructure its operations, or a combination of these two actions. Such actions would significantly negatively affect the value of the Company’s common stock.
     Given the currently expected debt service obligations of the Company, the inability of the Company to complete such further financing might also mean that the Company would be unable to continue to operate on an ongoing basis. If we are unable to obtain additional capital, we will likely need to make change in our business strategy in order to conserve cash.

As a consequence of the name change, the Company’s symbol changed. The Company’s Common Stock had been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol WARP. The new symbol is HALO. The new symbol was effective at the open of business on Monday, April 3, 2006.
Amendment to Note Held by Platinum Equity
As previously reported, on October 26, 2005, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of September 12, 2005 by and among the Company, TAC/Halo, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), Tesseract Corporation (“Tesseract”) and Platinum Equity, LLC (“Platinum”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement, dated October 26, 2005, by and among, the Company, Platinum, Tesseract, Merger Sub and TAC/Halo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“New Merger Sub”). The consideration payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement to Platinum included $1,750,000 payable no later than March 31, 2006 and evidenced by a Promissory Note (the “Note”). The descriptions of the Merger Agreement, Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement and the Note are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.87 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 16, 2005, to Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.94 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on November 1, 2005, and to the Note which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.96 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on November 1, 2005.
On March 31, 2006, the Company and Platinum entered into an Amendment and Consent, (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the maturity of the Note was modified such that the aggregate principal amount of the Note and all accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable as follows: (i) $1,000,000 on March 31, 2006; and (ii) the remaining $750,000 in principal, plus all accrued but unpaid interest on the earliest of (a) the second business day following the closing of the acquisition of Unify Corporation by the Company, (b) the second business day following termination of the merger agreement pursuant to which Unify is to be acquired by the Company, (c) the second business day after the Company closes an equity financing of at least $2.0 million subsequent to the date of the Amendment or (d) July 31, 2006. In accordance with the Amendment, $1,000,000 was paid to Platinum on March 31, 2006. Since the entire amount of the Note was not paid on or before March 31, 2006, Platinum retained 909,091 shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company, which had been previously issued to Platinum as part of the consideration under the Merger Agreement. These shares would have been canceled if the Note had been paid in full by that date. This description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment was attached as Exhibit 10.120 of the Current Report on the Form 8-K filed on April 3, 2006, after becoming effective of March 31, 2006.

CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”). Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and may contain the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “project,” “plan,” “will be,” “will likely continue,” “will likely result,” or words or phrases with similar meaning. All of these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions made by our management that, although we believe to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors outside of our control, that may cause our business, strategy or actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. We operate in a changing environment in which new risks can emerge from time to time. It is not possible for management to predict all of these risks, nor can it assess the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors, may cause our business, strategy or actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements. Factors you should consider that could cause these differences include, among other things: general economic and business conditions, including exchange rate fluctuations; our ability to identify acquisition opportunities and effectively and cost-efficiently integrate acquisitions that we consummate; our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; our ability to attract and retain personnel, including key personnel; our success in developing and introducing new services and products; and, competition in the software industry, as it relates to both our existing and potential new customers. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The safe harbors for forward-looking

     As of March 31, 2006, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including Rodney A. Bienvenu, Jr., the Company’s chief executive officer, and Mark Finkel, the Company’s principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15(d)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) pursuant to Rule 13a-15(d) and 15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, Messrs. Bienvenu and Finkel have each concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files, furnishes or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis.
     There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
