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 Companys 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 Companys
strategy is to pursue acquisitions of businesses which either complement the Companys 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 Guptas wholly owned subsidiaries, Gupta Technologies GmbH, a German corporation, and Gupta

Guptas 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.
Gupta has headquarters in California, and has a regional office in Munich and sales offices in

On October 26, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of Tesseract and four other
software companies, DAVID Corporation, Process Software, ProfitKey International, and Foresight
Software, Inc. (collectively Process and Affiliates).

On March 1, 2006, the Company acquired Executive Consultants, Inc (ECI). ECI is an HR
professional services firm providing implementation and consulting services for HR, payroll and
payroll systems.
Tesseract and ECI have subsequently been merged into Empagio. The combination of the

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine
months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
June 30, 2005.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Reclassification.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to
the current year presentation.
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 CompensationTransition 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 25s 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 Companys 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 Companys
net loss and loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts as follows:

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 Companys 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 managements 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

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 Staffs 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 Instrumentsan
amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140, that allows a preparer to elect fair value

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 entitys 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 Companys overall results of operations or financial position.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assetsan 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 Companys overall results of operations or financial position.

outstanding from prior periods under the intrinsic value method is reversed as of the same date.

123(R). The Company recognized $12,701 in compensation expense for these options for the three

stockholders of the Company approved the Halo Technology Holdings 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the
2005 Plan) previously approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company. A copy of the 2005 Plan was filed as Appendix A to the Companys definitive proxy
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 7, 2005. Subject to
adjustment for stock splits and similar events, the total number of shares of common stock that can
be delivered under the 2005 Plan is 8,400,000 shares. No employee may receive options, stock
appreciation rights, shares or dividend equivalent rights for more than four million shares during
any calendar year.
Under the 2005 Plan, the Company issued 4,366,000 options to certain employees and directors
of the Company and its subsidiaries. Of those options, 3,366,000 were issued to the Companys
senior management 25% of these options vested on December 31, 2005, and the remaining portion have
or will vest ratably each month during the 36 months thereafter, provided that the employee remains
an employee of the Company. 1,000,0000 of the 4,366,000 options were issued to the management of
the Companys subsidiaries. These options will vest based on each subsidiarys performance. The
vesting conditions are determined by the compensation committee. All the options have an exercise
price of $1.08 and the term of ten years except for the options issued to the Companys CEO, Rodney

order to adopt SFAS 123(R). The Company recognized $212,871 in compensation expense for these
options for the three months ended March 31, 2006, based on a grant-date fair value estimated by
the Company. The Company did not recognize compensation cost for the options issued to the
subsidiary management because the Company believes the achievement of the performance goals is not
probable.
On January 4, 2006, the Company issued stock options for 600,000 shares of the Companys
Common Stock to its newly appointed Chief Financial Officer, Mark Finkel, in connection with his

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

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.
In connection with the issuance of Series D Preferred Stock, on October 26, 2005, the Company
and Platinum entered into an Investors Agreement in order to provide Platinum with certain rights
to register Conversion Shares (as defined in the Investors 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
Companys capital structure.
If the Companys 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 Companys 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

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

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 Companys 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.

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.

costs.

to a transaction that resulted in a significant amount of goodwill for a number of reasons
including: Empagios market position and brand; Empagios business model which complements the
business models of certain of the Companys other businesses; and growth opportunities in the
markets in which Empagio operates. Empagio was acquired with the plan of merging with the Companys
other related businesses into Empagio. The Companys 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.

As more fully described in Business Combinations and Deferred Revenue under Critical
Accounting Policies, the purchase accounting rules normally causes the deferred revenues of
the acquired software companies to decrease substantially. To supplement our consolidated
financial information, the Company believes the above pro forma information is helpful to an
overall understanding of our past financial performance and prospects for the future. |
|
(2) |
|
As part of the purchase price allocations for the acquisitions, the Company estimated the
fair value of underlying obligations which resulted in reduction of the deferred revenues of
the acquired companies. These reductions are added back to the revenues to show pro forma
results of operations. |
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 Companys
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 Lenders 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 Companys
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. |
|
|
|
The Companys obligations are guaranteed by the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the
Company, including, without limitation, Gupta Technologies, LLC, Kenosia Corporation, and
Warp Solutions, Inc. The Amendment Agreement described below adds TAC/Halo, LLC, Process
Software, LLC, David Corporation, Profitkey International, LLC, and Foresight Software, Inc.
to this guarantee. |
|
|
|
|
The Company and its subsidiaries granted first priority security interests in their
assets, and pledged the stock or equity interests in their respective subsidiaries, to the
Agent as security for the financial obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Financing
Documents. In addition, the Company has undertaken to complete certain matters, including
the delivery of stock certificates in subsidiaries, and the completion of financing
statements perfecting the security interests granted under the applicable state or foreign
jurisdictions concerning the security interests and rights granted to the Lenders and the
Agent. |
|
|
|
|
As additional security for the lenders making the loans under the Credit Agreement,
certain subsidiaries of the Company have entered into Security Agreements with Fortress
Credit. Corp. relating to their assets in the U.K., and have pledged their interests in the
subsidiaries organized under English law, Gupta Technologies Limited and Warp Solutions
Limited, by entering into a Mortgages of Shares with Fortress. Also, the Companys
subsidiary, Gupta Technologies, LLC (Gupta) and its German subsidiary, Gupta Technologies
GmbH, have entered into a Security Trust Agreement with Fortress Credit Corp. granting a
security interest in the assets of such entities located in Germany. Gupta has also pledged
its interests in the German subsidiary under a Share Pledge Agreement with Fortress Credit
Corp. |
|
|
|
|
Under the Intercreditor Agreement, the holders of the Companys outstanding subordinated
notes which were issued pursuant to that certain Subordinated Note and Warrant Purchase
Agreement dated January 31, 2005, agreed to subordinate the payment terms and security
interests of the subordinated notes to the payment terms and security interests of the
senior lenders under the Credit Agreement. |
|
|
|
|
Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, the Company agreed to issue warrants to acquire up to
an aggregate of 7% of the fully diluted stock of the Company (as of the date of the Warrant
Agreement) if the Lenders make all the advances under the total commitments of the credit
facility. All warrants will have an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The exercise price
and number of shares issuable upon exercise of each warrant are subject to adjustment as
provided in the Warrant Agreement, including weighted average anti-dilution protection. |
|
|
|
|
Warrants to acquire an aggregate of 5% of the fully diluted stock of the Company
(2,109,042 shares of Common Stock, par value $.00001 per share) are issuable upon the
Company receiving advances under Tranche A or B of the credit facility (Tranche A/B
Available Shares) in proportion to the amount of the advance compared with the total
$25,000,000 in commitments under Tranche A and B. |
|
|
|
|
Since the Company borrowed $10,000,000 under Tranche A at the closing, warrants to
acquire 40% of the Available Tranche A/B Shares (843,617 shares of the Companys Common
Stock) were issued at closing to the Lenders. The warrants have an exercise price of $.01
per share, have a cashless exercise feature, and are exercisable until December 10, 2010. As
further advances are made to the Company under Tranche B, the Company will issue additional
warrants in proportion to the advances received. Additionally, if the unused total
commitments attributable to Tranche A and Tranche B are cancelled in accordance with the
Credit Agreement, warrants shall be used for the number of shares based on the Pro Rata
Portion of the Total Commitments attributable to Tranche A or Tranche B which are cancelled.
The proceeds from the Tranche A were allocated to the fair value of the warrants and Tranche
A. Based on the fair market value, $1,599,615 was allocated to the warrants and the
remainder of $8,400,385 was allocated to Tranche A. The fair value of the warrants was
determined by utilizing Black-Scholes method. The discount to Tranche A will be accreted
over 48 months. For the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2006, $99,975 and
$266,600 respectively were accreted and charged to interest expense. |
|
|
|
|
On October 26, 2005, in connection with the acquisition of the five software companies
(referred to as Agreements to Acquire Five Software Companies in Note 5 of the Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements), 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, Fortress Credit Corp., as original lender (together with
any additional lenders, the Original Lenders), and the Agent. Pursuant to this Amendment
Agreement, the Lender made a loan of $15,000,000 under Tranche B of the credit facility
under the Credit Agreement. Additional information of this amendment is qualified in its
entirety by reference to Amendment Agreement No. 1, 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 November 1, 2005. |
|
|
|
Since the Company borrowed $15,000,000 under Tranche B on October 26, 2005, warrants to
acquire 60% of the Available Tranche A/B Shares (1,265,425 shares of the Companys Common
Stock) were issued to the Lenders. The warrants have an exercise price of $.01 per share,
have a cashless exercise feature, and are exercisable until December 10, 2010. Based on the

Warrants to acquire an aggregate of 2% of the fully diluted stock of the Company (843,617
shares of Common Stock) are issuable upon the Company receiving advances under Tranche C of
the credit facility (Tranche C Available Shares) in proportion to the amount of the
Tranche C advance compared with the total $25,000,000 in commitments under Tranche C. |
Note 10. Notes Payable and Subscription Agreements
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, is due and payable 90 days after the date it
was entered into, December 19, 2005, unless the Promissory Note is 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. As such, interest of $26,667 was accrued and charged
to interest expense in the current quarter. 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. The Warrant contains an automatic exercise provision in the event that the
warrant has not been exercised but the Fair Market Value of the Warrant Shares (as defined in the
Warrant) is greater than the exercise price per share on the expiration date. The Warrant also
contains a cashless exercise provision. The Warrant also contains a limitation on exercise which
limits the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the holder on exercise to that
number of shares as will insure that, following such exercise, the total number of shares of Common
Stock then beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates will not exceed 9.99% of the total
number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock. This provision is waivable by the holder
on 60 days notice.

the Company for $150,000. On January 11, 2006, Mr. Howitt agreed to convert the principal (plus

and receive the same securities as were issued under the January 2006 Subscription Agreements
described below.

fair market value, $512,691 was allocated to the warrants and the remainder of $487,309 was
allocated to the October 2005 Notes. The fair value of the Warrants was determined by utilizing
Black-Scholes method. The discount to the October 2005 Notes will be accreted over 3 months. For
the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2006, $108,230 and $512,691 respectively were
accreted and charged to interest expense. 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. Under the Series E
Subscription Agreement, the holder of the October 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 October 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

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

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 (see Note 5).
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. As of March 31, 2006, the Working
Capital Adjustment has not been paid or converted to Series D Preferred Stock. As such, the Company
accrued $200,000 for the advisory fee as of March 31, 2006.
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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 as follows. the Company
designates the closing date. The closing is anticipated to occur when the Series E Certificate of
Designations becomes effective. The obligations of the investors under the Series E Subscription
Agreement are revocable if the closing has not occurred within 30 days of the date of the
agreement. No later than seventy five (75) days after the completion of the offering, the Company
agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the Company common stock underlying
the Series E Stock and the Series E Warrants, and any common stock that the Company may elect to
issue in payment of the dividends due on the Series E Stock.
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 investors 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. 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 holders 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. By written notice to the Company, each holder may
waive the foregoing limitations on conversion but any such waiver will not be effective until the
61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.
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.
The January 2006 Subscription Agreements further provide that the Company shall register the
shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the January 2006 Convertible Notes and upon
conversion of the January 2006 Warrants (together, the Registrable Shares) via a suitable
registration statement. If a registration statement covering the Registrable Shares has not been
declared effective after 180 days following the closing, the holders shall receive a number of
shares of common stock equal to 1.5% of the number of shares received upon conversion of the
January 2006 Convertible Notes for each 30 days thereafter during which the Registrable Shares have
not been registered, subject to a maximum penalty of 9% of the number of shares received upon
conversion of the January 2006 Convertible Notes.
The January 2006 Subscription Agreements allow the Investors to piggyback on the
registration statements filed by the Company. the Company agreed that it will maintain the
registration statement effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) the date that
all of the Registrable Shares have been sold pursuant to such registration statement, (ii) all
Registrable Shares have been otherwise transferred to persons who may trade such shares without
restriction under the Securities Act, or (iii) all Registrable Shares may be sold at any time,
without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.
Upon the completion of the offering under the January 2006 Subscription Agreements, with a
full round of investment of $10,000,000, the investors will have the right for 15 months after the
final closing to invest, in the aggregate an additional $10,000,000 in common stock of the Company.
The price of such follow-on investment will be $2.00 per share of common stock or a 20% discount to
the prior 30 day trading period, whichever is lower; provided that the price per share shall not be
less than $1.25. Each investors portion of this follow-on right shall be such investors 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.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the January 2006 Subscription Agreements, the
number of shares of common stock that may be acquired by any investor upon any exercise of this
follow-on right (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure
that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of common stock then
beneficially owned by such investor and its Affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial
ownership of common stock would be aggregated with such investor for purposes of Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the
Company common stock. By written notice to the Company, any investor may waive this provision, but
any such waiver will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the
Company.
In addition to the $1,375,000 in January 2006 Convertible Notes issued January 27 and January
30, 2006, pursuant to the January 2006 Subscription Agreements, the following investors have
expressed an intention to exercise their right to accept the terms of the January 2006 Subscription

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. Since the Series C Notes were not
converted by March 17, 2005, due to a delay in receiving approval required before effecting the
Amendment to the Companys Articles of Incorporation, the Company may be required to pay to the
Investors a penalty in cash equal to ten percent (10%) of the principal amount of the Series C
Notes. Accordingly, the Company
anticipates that it will need to obtain a waiver or an
acknowledgment that the penalties do not apply. The Company intends to work with the Investors to
obtain waiver of this penalty or an acknowledgement that no penalty is due, and has received such
waiver and acknowledgement from certain Investors. However, there is no assurance that the Company
will receive sufficient waivers or acknowledgements from other Investors. As such the Company
accrued $647,500 for this penalty for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease of Office Space for Principal Executive Offices
The Company leases office space in Greenwich, Connecticut, where the Company has its principal
executive offices.
The lease commenced on August 29, 2005 and was amended to expand the leased premises on May 1,
2006. The lease expires on August 31, 2010. Under the terms of the lease, the Company will pay an
aggregate rent over the term of the lease of $926,878.
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 InfoNows 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 InfoNows 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 stockholders 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
Companys common stock, the value of which will be deemed to be the greater of $1.00 or the average
closing price of the Companys 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
Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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,
InfoNows 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 InfoNows
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,
InfoNows and the Companys 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 InfoNows 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,
registering the shares of HALO common stock and related CVRs to be
issued in the Merger. 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 Company currently holds 65,000 shares of InfoNow common stock. These shares are
classified under marketable securities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet., and are revalued
periodically at the fair market value. The fair market value as of March 31, 2006 is $33,800. The
decrease in the fair market value since the acquisition of these shares amounting to $6,778 has
been charged to accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Note 15. Acquisition of 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 Halos 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 Unifys 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

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 26, 2000 under the name Abbott
Mines, Ltd. to engage in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. The Company obtained
an interest in one mining property and conducted an exploration program but the results did not

As a consequence of the name change, the Companys ticker symbol quoted on the OTC Bulletin

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 Staffs 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 Instrumentsan
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 entitys 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 Companys overall results of operations or financial position.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assetsan 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 Companys overall results of operations or financial position.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Companys financial condition and results of operations is
based on the Companys 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 Companys
business operations and the understanding of the Companys results of operations. We believe the
following critical accounting policies and the related judgments and estimates affect the
preparation of the Companys 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.
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 Companys 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 companys 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
companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 CompensationTransition 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 25s 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 Guptas 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 Companys
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 Companys 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
Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, benefits,
advertising, tradeshows, travel and overhead costs for the Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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.

As more fully described in Business Combinations and Deferred Revenue under Critical
Accounting Policies, the purchase accounting rules normally causes the deferred revenues of the
acquired software companies to decrease substantially. To further supplement our consolidated
financial information, the Company believes the pro forma information below is helpful to an
overall understanding of our past financial performance and prospects for the future.

As part of the purchase price allocations for the acquisitions, the Company estimated the
fair value of underlying obligations which resulted in reduction of the deferred revenues of the
acquired companies. These reductions are added back to the revenues to show pro forma results of
operations. |
These non-GAAP measures should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating
income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or
liquidity presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
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
Lenders 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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.
Subsequent Events
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation
The Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State the Certificate of Amendment to Articles of
Incorporation described in its Definitive Information Statement filed on March 13, 2006. The
amendment changed the Companys name to Halo Technology Holdings, Inc., effective April 2, 2006. A
copy of the amendment was attached to the Current report on Form 8-K filed on March 31, 2006 as
Exhibit 3.13 and became effective on April 2, 2006.
Change of Company Name and Trading Symbol
As a consequence of the name change, the Companys symbol changed. The Companys 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.

L. Kelly and Gordon O. Rapkin to serve on the board of directors. Including these appointments,

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
statements provided by the Reform Act are unavailable to issuers of penny stock. Our shares

ITEM 3. Controls And Procedures
As of March 31, 2006, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with
the participation of the Companys management, including Rodney A. Bienvenu, Jr., the Companys
chief executive officer, and Mark Finkel, the Companys principal financial officer, of the
effectiveness of the Companys 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 Companys 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
managements 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.
