PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
     This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our Common Stock. You should read carefully the entire prospectus, including the “Risk Factors” section, before making a decision to invest in our Common Stock.
     Our Company
     Halo Technology Holdings, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), is a Nevada corporation with its principal executive office in Greenwich, Connecticut.
     The Company is a holding company whose subsidiaries operate enterprise software and information technology businesses. In addition to holding its existing subsidiaries, the Company’s strategy is to pursue acquisitions of businesses which either complement the Company’s existing businesses or expand the industries in which the Company operates. The Company’s current subsidiaries include Gupta Technologies, LLC, Warp Solutions, Inc., Kenosia Corporation, DAVID Corporation, Process Software, ProfitKey International, Foresight Software, Inc. and Empagio, Inc.
     On January 31, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of Gupta Technologies, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Gupta”). Gupta is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Gupta’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Gupta Technologies GmbH, a German corporation, and Gupta Technologies Ltd., a U.K. company, have become indirect subsidiaries of the Company.
     Gupta develops, markets and supports software products that enable software programmers to create enterprise class applications, operating on either the Microsoft Windows or Linux operating systems that are used in large and small businesses and governmental entities around the world. Gupta’s products include a popular database application and a well-known set of application development tools. The relational database product allows companies to manage data closer to the customer, where capturing and organizing information is becoming increasingly critical. This product is designed for applications being deployed in situations where there are little or no technical resources to support and administer databases or applications.
     Gupta recently released its Linux product line. Compatible with its existing Microsoft Windows-based product line, the Linux line of products will enable developers to write one application to run in both Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems.
     Gupta has headquarters in California, and has a regional office in Munich and sales offices in London and Paris.
     Warp Solutions, Inc. (“Warp Solutions”) a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, produces a series of application acceleration products that improve the speed and efficiency of transactions and information requests that are processed over the internet and intranet network systems. The subsidiary’s suite of software products and technologies are designed to accelerate network applications, reduce network congestion, and reduce the cost of expensive server deployments for enterprises engaged in high volume network activities.
     On July 6, 2005 the Company purchased Kenosia Corporation (“Kenosia”). Kenosia is a software company whose products include its DataAlchemy product line. DataAlchemy is a sales and marketing analytics platform that is utilized by global companies to drive retail sales and profits through timely and effective analysis of transactional data. Kenosia’s installed customers span a wide range of industries, including consumer packaged goods, entertainment, pharmaceutical, automotive, spirits, wine and beer, brokers and retailers.
     On October 26, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of Tesseract Corporation and four other software companies, DAVID Corporation, Process Software, ProfitKey International, and Foresight Software, Inc.
     Tesseract Corporation (“Tesseract”), headquartered in San Francisco, is a total HR solutions provider offering an integrated Web-enabled HRMS suite. Tesseract’s Web-based solution suite allows HR users, employees and external service providers to communicate securely and electronically in real time. The integrated nature of the system allows for easy access to data and a higher level of accuracy for internal reporting, assessment and external data interface. Tesseract’s customer base includes corporations operating in a diverse range of industries, including financial services, transportation, utilities, insurance, manufacturing, petroleum, retail, and pharmaceuticals.

     Process Software develops infrastructure software solutions for mission-critical environments, including industry-leading TCP/IP stacks, an Internet messaging product suite, and an anti-spam software subscription service to large enterprises worldwide.
     ProfitKey International develops and markets integrated manufacturing software and information control systems for make-to-order and make-to-stock manufacturers.

     Foresight Software, Inc. provides client/server Enterprise Resource Planning and Customer Relationship Management software to global organizations that depend on customer service operations for critical market differentiation and competitive advantage. Foresight’s software products and services enable customers to deliver superior customer service while achieving maximum profitability.
     On January 13, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Empagio, Inc. (“Empagio”). Empagio survived the merger and is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Empagio is a human resources management software company. Its signature product is its SymphonyHR hosted software solution which automates HR procedures and reduces paperwork, ranging from payroll to benefits administration. The Company has merged Tesseract into Empagio.
     On December 23, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger to acquire InfoNow Corporation (“InfoNow”). InfoNow is a public enterprise software company, headquartered in Denver, Colorado. InfoNow provides channel visibility and channel management solutions, in the form of software and services to companies that sell their products through complex networks of distributors, dealers, resellers, retailers, agents or branches (i.e. “channel partners”). Companies use InfoNow’s software and services to collaborate with their channel partners to create demand, increase revenues, lower operating costs and maximize the return on investment of their channel strategies. InfoNow’s clients are generally companies with extensive channel partner networks, and include companies such as Apple, Hewlett-Packard, Juniper Networks, NEC Display Solutions of America, The Hartford, Visa, and Wachovia Corporation. The merger with InfoNow is expected to close in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.
     On January 30, 2006, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Executive Consultants, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“ECI”). On March 1, 2006, the closing occurred under the merger agreement, and ECI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company will merge ECI with Empagio. The acquisition of ECI’s clients is intended to enhance Empagio’s human resources software offerings.
     On March 14, 2006, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire Unify Corporation (“Unify”) in a transaction valued at approximately $20.6 million. Unify provides business automation solutions, including market leading applications for the alternative risk insurance market. Upon completion of the merger, Unify will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Unify Business Solutions division will work closely with the Company’s Gupta subsidiary, a leading producer of embeddable databases and enterprise application development tools, who together will have more than 7,000 worldwide customers and a broad offering of Java, J2EE and relational database products. Unify’s Insurance Risk Management Division will work closely with the Company’s David Corporation subsidiary, a leading claims software provider with a large customer base in the alternative risk market. The merger, which is subject to approval by shareholders of Unify and to a number of other closing conditions, is expected to close in the summer of 2006.
     Effective April 2, 2006, the Company changed its name from Warp Technology Holdings, Inc. to Halo Technology Holdings, Inc.
     As used in this prospectus, “we,” “us,” “our”, “Halo”, and the “Company” refer to Halo Technology Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its wholly owned (direct and indirect) subsidiaries.
     Our principal executive offices are located at 200 Railroad Avenue, Greenwich, CT 06830 and our telephone number is (203) 422-2950.
     Common Stock Offered
     We have authorized 150,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 (“Common Stock”). We are registering for resale on behalf of the selling stockholder 10,730,200 shares of our Common Stock issuable from time to time to the selling stockholder under the circumstances described under the heading “Issuance of Preferred Stock to Selling Stockholder” on page 54.

     Risk Factors
     You should carefully consider all of the information contained in this prospectus before making an investment in our Common Stock. In particular, you should consider the risk factors described under “Risk Factors” below.
SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
     You should review the financial information and the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 included in this prospectus beginning at page F-1. In addition, this information should be read in conjunction with (i) the financial statements for Tesseract Corporation for the years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 included in this prospectus at page F-63, (ii) financial statements of Process Software, LLC and Affiliates (consisting of David Corporation, ProfitKey International, LLC, Foresight Software, Inc. and Process Software, LLC) for the years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 included in this prospectus at page F-77 and (iii) the pro forma information for the Company, including notes describing various adjustments, included in this prospectus at page F-95.
RISK FACTORS
     From time to time, information provided by us or statements made by our employees may contain “forward-looking” information involving risks and uncertainties. In particular, statements contained in this prospectus that concern future operating results or other statements using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “should” or “will” constitute forward-looking statements and are made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our actual results of operations and financial condition have varied in the past and may in the future vary significantly from those stated in any forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, without limitation, the risks, uncertainties and other information discussed below. Each of these factors, and others, are discussed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statement we make.
     Any investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective purchasers of the Common Stock offered by this prospectus should carefully consider the following Risk Factors in addition to the other information appearing in this prospectus before you decide to buy the Common Stock. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we do not currently deem material may also become important factors that may harm our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer, the trading price of our Common Stock would probably decline, and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our Common Stock.
Risk Factors Relating to the Company
We Have a Limited Operating History
     The Company has a limited operating history. Such limited operating history makes it more difficult to predict whether or not we will be successful in the future. Our future financial and operational success is subject to the risks, uncertainties, expenses, delays and difficulties associated with managing a new business, many of which may be beyond our control. In addition, the Company competes in a relatively new market known as the information technology market. Because this market rapidly evolves, companies competing in it may face many uncertainties. Our success will depend on many factors, including those described in this Risk Factors section.
We Have a History of Losses and May Need Additional Financing
     We have experienced operating losses, as well as net losses, for each of the years during which we have operated.
     The Company has incurred recurring operating losses since its inception. As December 31, 2005, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $70,953,000.

     Conditions may arise, including potential risks described herein, that may require the Company to raise additional funds for its working capital needs and to continue to execute the requirements of its business plan. If these conditions arise, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise sufficient capital.
     If we achieve profitability, we cannot give any assurance that we would be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. Furthermore, the Company intends to pursue opportunities to acquire other businesses, and may need to raise capital in order to pursue such acquisitions.
     Similarly, in the future, we may not generate sufficient revenue from operations to pay our operating expenses. If we fail to generate sufficient cash from operations to pay these expenses, our management will need to identify other sources of funds. We may not be able to borrow money or issue more shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock to meet our cash needs. Even if we can complete such transactions, they may not be on terms that are favorable or reasonable from our perspective. As a result, you may lose your entire investment.
     We May Not Be Able to Borrow Funds
     There currently are no legal limitations on our ability to borrow funds to increase the amount of capital available to us to carry out our business plan. However, our limited resources and limited operating history may make it difficult to borrow additional funds. The amount and nature of any such borrowings would depend on numerous considerations, including our capital requirements, our perceived ability to meet debt service on any such borrowings and the then prevailing conditions in the financial markets, as well as general economic conditions. There can be no assurance that debt financing, if required or sought, would be available on terms deemed to be commercially acceptable by us and in our best interest.
     On August 2, 2005, the Company entered into a credit agreement (as amended, the “Fortress Credit Agreement”), between the Company, the Subsidiaries of the Company listed in Schedule 1 thereto, Fortress Credit Corp. as original lender (together with any additional lenders, the “Fortress Lenders”), and Fortress Credit Corp. as agent (the “Fortress Agent”) pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $50 million. The Company initially borrowed $10 million, the proceeds of which were used to pay off prior [Senior Secured Notes] and a portion of the Company’s subordinated indebtedness. On October 26, 2005, in connection with the acquisitions of five enterprise software companies, the Company entered into Amendment Agreement with Fortress amending the Fortress Credit Agreement. Under the Amendment, the Fortress Lenders made an additional loan of $15,000,000 under the credit facility. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to borrow further amounts under the Fortress Credit Agreement. Future borrowings are subject to the satisfaction of various conditions precedent, including lender approval of the use of further borrowings.
     The Fortress Credit Agreement contains numerous financial and operating covenants. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with these covenants, and failure to meet such covenants or the failure of the lenders to agree to amend or waive compliance with covenants that the Company does not meet would result in a default under the Fortress Credit Agreement. Moreover, the Company’s subordinated debt incorporates the covenants and default provisions of the Fortress Credit Agreement. Any material default that is not amended or waived under any of these agreements will result in a default under most or all of the Company’s financing arrangements.
     The lenders under the Fortress Credit Agreement have a security interest in all of Halo’s and its subsidiaries’ assets, including the stock in the subsidiaries held by Halo. An unwaived default by Halo under the Fortress Credit Agreement would permit the lenders thereunder to foreclose on all the assets of Halo, thereby causing Halo to cease doing business. Upon such an occurrence, stockholders would lose their entire investment in Halo.
Rapidly Changing Markets
     The markets for our products are characterized by:
    rapidly changing technologies;
 
    evolving and competing industry standards;
 
    changing customer needs;
 
    frequent new product introductions and enhancements;
 
    increased integration with other functions; and
 
    rapid product obsolescence.
     To develop new products for our target markets, we must develop, gain access to and use leading technologies in a cost-effective and timely manner and continue to expand our technical and design expertise. In addition, we must maintain close working relationships with key customers and potential customers in order to develop new products that meet their changing needs.
Rapidly Changing Technology

9


 

     The Company may not be able to identify new product opportunities successfully, develop and bring to market new products, achieve design wins or respond effectively to new technological changes or product announcements by its competitors. In addition, we may not be successful in developing or using new technologies or in developing new products or product enhancements that achieve market acceptance. Our pursuit of necessary technological advances may require substantial time and expense. Failure in any of these areas could harm our operating results.
Our Ability to Compete Successfully Will Depend, In Part, On Our Ability to Protect Our Intellectual Property Rights
     The Company relies on a combination of patent, trade secrets, copyrights, nondisclosure agreements and other contractual provisions and technical measures to protect its intellectual property rights. Policing unauthorized use of our products, however, is difficult, especially in foreign countries. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could harm our business, operating results and financial condition regardless of the outcome of the litigation. In addition, there can be no assurance that the courts will enforce the contractual arrangements which the Company has entered into to protect its intellectual property rights. Our operating results could be harmed by any failure to protect our intellectual property rights.
Competition
     The Company’s subsidiaries are engaged in businesses which are highly competitive and we expect significant competition for our technologies. Many of our competitors, for example, IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle (with respect to Gupta’s business) and Cisco Systems, Inc. (with respect to Warp Solutions), have been in business for a number of years, have established customer bases, are larger, and have greater financial resources than the Company. There can be no assurance as to the degree to which we will be able to successfully compete in our industry.
Development of Products
     The Company’s subsidiaries are currently developing new products, as well as new applications of existing products. There can be no assurance that we will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of our products, or that our new or enhanced products will adequately meet the requirements of our current or prospective customers. Any failure by the Company or its subsidiaries to successfully design, develop, test and introduce such new products, or the failure of the Company’s recently introduced products to achieve market acceptance, could prevent us from maintaining existing customer relationships, gaining new customers or expanding our markets and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are Dependent On Key Personnel
     Our future success depends in part on the continued service of our key design engineering, sales, marketing and executive personnel and our ability to identify, recruit and retain additional personnel. At the date of this report, there were four employment agreements between the Company and its executive officers.
Managing Growth and Expansion
     The Company is currently anticipating a period of growth as a result of its recent marketing and sales efforts. The resulting strain on our managerial, operational, financial and other resources could be significant. Success in managing this expansion and growth will depend, in part, upon the ability of senior management to manage effectively. Any failure to manage the anticipated growth and expansion could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We Expect to Pay No Cash Dividends
     We presently do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends, if any, will be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. The payment of any cash dividends will be within the discretion of our Board of Directors. We presently intend to retain all earnings, if any, to implement our business plan; accordingly, we do not anticipate the declaration of any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Indemnification of Officers and Directors

10


 

     Our Articles of Incorporation provide for the indemnification of our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada and the federal securities laws. It is possible that the indemnification obligations imposed under these provisions could result in a charge against our earnings and thereby affect the availability of funds for other uses.
Our Company Is Subject to Certain Legal Proceedings Which Could Be Material
     The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business. If such matters arise, the Company cannot assure that it would prevail on such matters, nor can it assure that any remedy could be reached on mutually agreeable terms, if at all. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, were there any such matters, the Company would not be able to accurately predict their ultimate outcome. As of March 31, 2006, there are no current proceedings or litigation involving the Company that management believes would have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Our Common Stock Is Subject To “Penny Stock” Restrictions Under Federal Securities Laws, Which Could Reduce The Liquidity Of Our Common Stock
     The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations, which generally define penny stocks to be an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. On March 31, 2006, the closing price for our Common Stock, as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, was $1.20 per share and therefore, our Common Stock is designated a “Penny Stock.” As a penny stock, our Common Stock may become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act or the Penny Stock Rules. These rules include, but are not limited to, Rules 3a5l-l, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6 and 15g-7 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market.
     The rules may further affect the ability of owners of our shares to sell their securities in any market that may develop for them. There may be a limited market for penny stocks, due to the regulatory burdens on broker-dealers. The market among dealers may not be active. Investors in penny stock often are unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. The mark-ups or commissions charged by the broker-dealers may be greater than any profit a seller may make. Because of large dealer spreads, investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at the same price the dealer sold the stock to the investor. In some cases, the stock may fall quickly in value. Investors may be unable to reap any profit from any sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all.
     For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.
     The penny stock restrictions will no longer apply to our Common Stock if we become listed on a national exchange. In any event, even if our Common Stock were exempt from the penny stock restrictions, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the Securities and Exchange Commission the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the Securities and Exchange Commission finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.
Risk Factors Related to Acquisition Strategy
Growth and Acquisition Risks
     One of the Company’s primary strategies is to pursue the acquisition of other companies or assets that either complement or expand its existing business. The Company completed the acquisition of Gupta in January 2005, the

11


 

acquisition of Kenosia in July 2005, and the acquisition of Tesseract and four other software companies, DAVID Corporation, Process Software, ProfitKey International, and Foresight Software, Inc. in October 2005. In addition, the Company completed the acquisition of Empagio in January 2006 and ECI in March 2006, and has entered into agreements for the acquisition of InfoNow and Unify. These acquisitions are expected to close in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2006. The Company has also had preliminary acquisition discussions with, or has evaluated the potential acquisition of, several other companies. However, the Company is unable to predict the likelihood or timing of a material acquisition being completed in the future.
     The Company anticipates that one or more potential acquisition opportunities, including those that would be material, may become available in the near future. If and when appropriate acquisition opportunities become available, the Company intends to pursue them actively. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to profitably manage the addition of Kenosia, Tesseract, DAVID Corporation, ProfitKey International, LLC, Foresight Software, Inc., Process Software, LLC, Empagio, ECI, InfoNow and Unify or that it will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional companies or successfully integrate such additional companies into its operations without substantial costs, delays or other problems. In addition, there can be no assurance that any companies acquired will be profitable at the time of their acquisition or will achieve sales and profitability that justify the investment therein. Acquisitions may involve a number of special risks, including adverse effects on the Company’s reported operating results, diversion of management’s attention, dependence on retention and hiring of key personnel, and risks associated with unanticipated problems or legal liabilities, some or all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial performance. The expansion of the Company’s operations, whether through acquisitions or internal growth, may place substantial burdens on the Company’s management resources and financial controls. There is no assurance that the increasing burdens on the Company’s management resources and financial controls will not have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations.
We May Not Be Able To Finance Future Acquisitions
     We seek to use shares of our Common Stock to finance a portion of the consideration for acquisitions. If our Common Stock does not maintain a sufficient market value or the owners of businesses we may seek to acquire are otherwise unwilling to accept shares of Common Stock as part of the consideration for the sale of their businesses, we may be required to use more of our cash resources in order to implement our acquisition strategy. If we have insufficient cash resources, our ability to pursue acquisitions could be limited unless we are able to obtain additional funds through debt or equity financing. Our ability to obtain debt financing may be constrained by existing or future loan covenants, the satisfaction of which may be dependent upon our ability to raise additional equity capital through either offerings for cash or the issuance of stock as consideration for acquisitions. We cannot assure you that our cash resources will be sufficient, or that other financing will be available on terms we find acceptable. If we are unable to obtain sufficient financing, we may be unable to implement fully our acquisition strategy.
Additional Risk Factors Related to the Business of our Operating Subsidiaries
Financial Results May Vary Significantly from Quarter to Quarter
     The Company’s operating results have varied significantly from quarter to quarter at times in the past and may continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter in the future due to a variety of factors. Many of these factors are outside of our control. These factors include:
    fluctuations in demand for the Company’s products, upgrades to the Company’s products, or services;
 
    fluctuations in demand for the Company’s products due to the potential deteriorating economic conditions of the Company’s customer base;
 
    seasonality of purchases and the timing of product sales and shipments;
 
    unexpected delays in introducing new products and services or improvements to existing products and services;
 
    new product releases, licensing models or pricing policies by the Company’s competitors;
 
    acquisitions or mergers involving the Company’s competitors or customers;
 
    impact of changes to the Company’s product distribution strategy and pricing policies;
 
    lack of order backlog;
 
    loss of a significant customer or distributor;
 
    changes in purchasing and/or payment practices by the Company’s distributors or other customers;
 
    a reduction in the number of independent software vendors (“ISVs”), who embed the Company’s products, or value-added resellers (or “VARs”), who sell and deploy the Company’s products;
 
    changes in the mix of domestic and international sales;

12


 

    impact of changes to the Company’s geographic investment levels and business models;
 
    gains or losses associated with discontinued operations; and
 
    changes in the Company’s business plan or strategy.
     The Company’s revenue growth and profitability depend on the overall demand for the Company’s products and services, which in turn depends on general economic and business conditions. The nature and extent of the effect of the current economic climate on the Company’s ability to sell its products and services is uncertain. A softening of demand for the Company’s products and services caused by weakening of the economy may result in decreased revenues or lower growth rates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively promote revenue growth rates in all economic conditions.
     Significant portions of the Company’s expenses are not variable in the short term and cannot be quickly reduced to respond to decreases in revenues. Therefore, if the Company’s revenues are below expectations, the Company’s operating results are likely to be adversely and disproportionately affected. In addition, the Company may change its prices, modify its distribution strategy and policies, accelerate its investment in research and development, sales or marketing efforts in response to competitive pressures or pursue new market opportunities. Any one of these activities may further limit the Company’s ability to adjust spending in response to revenue fluctuations.
Seasonality May Contribute to Fluctuations in the Company’s Quarterly Operating Results
     The Company’s business has experienced seasonal customer buying patterns with relatively weaker demand in the quarters ending June 30 and September 30. We believe that this pattern may continue.
The Company Currently Operates Without a Backlog
     The Company generally operates with virtually no order backlog because the Company’s software products are shipped and revenue is recognized shortly after orders are received. This lack of backlog makes product revenues in any quarter substantially dependent on orders booked and shipped throughout that quarter.
Our Efforts to Develop and Maintain Brand Awareness of The Company Products May Not be Successful
     Brand awareness is important given competition in the markets where the Company operates. We are aware of other companies that use similar product names in order to promote their competing products and services, including but not limited to services to port the Company’s customers’ applications to other database’s and/or programming languages or development suites. We expect that it may be difficult or impossible to prevent third-party usage of the Company’s or its operating subsidiaries’ names and our products names and variations of these names for competing goods and services. Competitors or others who use marks similar to the Company brand names may cause confusion among actual and potential customers, which could prevent the Company from achieving significant brand recognition. If we fail to promote and maintain the the Company brand or incur significant related expenses, the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
The Company must succeed in the Cross Platform Application Development Market if it is to Realize the Expected Benefits of its Linux Development
     The Company’s long-term strategic plan for its Gupta subsidiary depends upon the successful development and introduction of products and solutions that address the needs of cross platform development of applications targeting both Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. In order for the Company to succeed in these markets, it must implement strategies and products to ensure single-source code line compatibility on both platforms and provide a Web services model that is capable of consuming both J2EE and .Net Web services consistently on both the Microsoft Windows and Linux platforms. This will require focusing a significant portion of the Company’s resources on product development.
     The challenges involved include the following:
    coordinating software development operations in a rapid and efficient manner to ensure timely release of products to market;
 
    combining product offerings and support services quickly and effectively;
 
    successfully managing difficulties associated with transitioning current customers to new technologies;
 
    demonstrating to the Company customers the new technology will provide greater integration throughout the enterprise; and
 
    creating key alliances.

13


 

     In addition, the Company’s success in these markets will depend on several factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control including:
    General adoption of Web services as the preferred method of integrating data and applications; and
 
    The Company’s ability to position itself as a premier provider of cross platform application development tools for integrating enterprise data and information.
     If we are unable to succeed in this market, the Company’s business may be harmed and we may be prevented from realizing the anticipated benefits of the Company’s cross platform strategy.
The Company May Face Problems in Connection With Contractual or Licensing Arrangements
     The Company is a party to certain offshore development, consulting, and services agreements, pursuant to which the Company receives quality assurance testing and certain enhancements to the Company’s products. The Company’s product development plans are dependent on maintaining similar arrangements in the future. There is no assurance that such contractual arrangements will continue to be available on economically beneficial terms.
     In addition, the Company has licensed technology from and entered into a services agreements with other software development companies. The licensed technology and services enhance the Company’s products, and assist in the design, development, testing and deployment of certain of the Company’s software products. We cannot be certain that the market acceptance or demand for these new products will meet our expectations.
The Company May Face Problems in Connection With Product Line Expansion
     In the future, the Company may acquire, license or develop additional products. Future product line expansion may require the Company to modify or expand its business. If the Company is unable to fully integrate new products with its existing operations, the Company may not receive the intended benefits of such product line expansion. We cannot be certain that the market acceptance or demand for these new products will meet our expectations.
A Small Number of Distributors Account For a Significant Percentage of The Company’s Billings
     The loss of a major distributor, changes in a distributor’s payment practices, changes in the financial stability of a major distributor or any reduction in orders by such distributor, including reductions due to market or competitive conditions combined with the potential inability to replace the distributor on a timely basis, or any modifications to our pricing or distribution channel strategy could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. Many of the Company’s ISVs, VARs and end users place their orders through distributors. A relatively small number of distributors have accounted for a significant percentage of the Company’s revenues. The loss of one or more significant distributors, unless it was offset by the attraction of sufficient new customers, could have a material adverse impact on the business of the Company. The Company expects it will continue to depend on a limited number of distributors for a significant portion of its revenues in future periods and the loss of a significant distributor could have a material adverse impact on the Company. The Company’s distributors have not agreed to any minimum order requirements.
The Company Depends on an Indirect Sales Channel
     The Company’s failure to grow its indirect sales channel or the loss of a significant number of members of its indirect channel partners would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results. The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenues from indirect sales through a channel consisting of independent software vendors, value-added resellers, systems integrators, consultants and distributors. The Company’s sales channel could be adversely affected by a number of factors including:
    the emergence of a new platform resulting in the failure of independent software vendors to develop and the failure of value-added resellers to sell the Company’s products based on the Company’s supported platforms;
 
    pressures placed on the sales channel to sell competing products;
 
    The Company’s failure to adequately support the sales channel;
 
    consolidation of certain of the Company’s indirect channel partners;
 
    competing product lines offered by certain of the Company’s indirect channel partners; and
 
    business model or licensing model changes of the Company’s channel partners or their competitors.

14


 

     We cannot be certain the Company will be able to continue to attract additional indirect channel partners or retain its current channel partners. In addition, we cannot be certain that the Company’s competitors will not attempt to recruit certain of the Company’s current or future channel partners. This may have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to attract and retain channel partners.
The Company May Not Be Able to Develop Strategic Relationships
     The Company’s current collaborative relationships may not prove to be beneficial to us, and they may not be sustained. We may not be able to enter into successful new strategic relationships in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. From time to time, the Company has collaborated with other companies in areas such as product development, marketing, distribution and implementation. However, many of the Company’s current and potential strategic relationships are with either actual or potential competitors. In addition, many of the Company’s current relationships are informal or, if written, terminable with little or no notice.
The Company Depends on Third-Party Technology in Its Products
     The Company relies upon certain software that it licenses from third parties, including software integrated with the Company’s internally developed software and used in the Company’s products to perform key functions. These third-party software licenses may not continue to be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms. In addition, some of the Company’s software components have been licensed from the open source community. The loss of, or inability to maintain or obtain any of these software licenses, could result in shipment delays or reductions until the Company develops, identifies, licenses and integrates equivalent software. Any delay in product development or shipment could damage the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.
We May be Unable to Protect The Company’s Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights
     The Company’s success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to protect the Company’s software and other proprietary technology. We rely primarily on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect the Company’s proprietary rights. However, these measures afford us only limited protection. Furthermore, the Company uses third-party service providers in India for some of its development and the laws of India do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. In addition, the Company relies in part on “shrink wrap” and “click wrap” licenses that are not signed by the end user and, therefore, may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. Therefore, our efforts to protect the Company’s intellectual property may not be adequate. We cannot be certain that others will not develop technologies that are similar or superior to the Company’s technology or design around the copyrights and trade secrets owned by the Company. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of the Company’s products or to obtain and use information we regard as proprietary. Although we believe software piracy may be a problem, we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of the Company’s software products occurs. In addition, portions of the Company’s source code are developed in foreign countries with laws that do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.
     We may be subjected to claims of intellectual property infringement by third parties as the number of products and competitors in the Company’s industry segment continues to grow and the functionality of products in different industry segments increasingly overlaps. Additionally, the fact that some of the Company’s software components have been licensed from the open source community may expose us to increased risk of infringement claims by third parties. Any infringement claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert management attention and resources, cause product shipment delays or the loss or deferral of sales or require the Company to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. In the event of a successful claim of intellectual property infringement against the Company, should we fail or be unable to either license the technology or similar technology or develop alternative technology on a timely basis, the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
The Company Must Adapt to Rapid Technological Change
     The Company’s future success will depend upon its ability to continue to enhance its current products and to develop and introduce new products on a timely basis that keep pace with technological developments and new industry standards and satisfy increasingly sophisticated customer requirements. Rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, uncertain product life cycles, changes in customer demands and evolving industry standards characterize the market for the Company’s products. The introduction of products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. As a result of the complexities inherent in client/server and Web computing environments and in data and application integration solutions, new products and product enhancements can require long development and testing periods. As a result, significant delays in the general availability of

15


 

such new releases or significant problems in the installation or implementation of such new releases could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. The Company has experienced delays in the past in the release of new products and new product enhancements. The Company may not be successful in:
    developing and marketing, on a timely and cost-effective basis, new products or new product enhancements that respond to technological change, evolving industry standards or customer requirements;
 
    avoiding difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of these products; or
 
    achieving market acceptance for its new products and product enhancements.
The Company’s Software May Contain Errors or Defects
     Errors or defects in the Company’s products may result in loss of revenues or delay in market acceptance, and could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. Software products such as the Company’s may contain errors, sometimes called “bugs,” particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. From time to time, the Company discovers software errors in certain of its new products after their introduction. Despite testing, current versions, new versions or enhancements of the Company’s products may still have errors after commencement of commercial shipments. Product errors can put us at a competitive disadvantage and can be costly and time-consuming to correct.
The Company May Become Subject to Product or Professional Services Liability Claims
     A product or professional services liability claim, whether or not successful, could damage the Company’s reputation and business, operating results and financial condition. The Company’s license and service agreements with its customers typically contain provisions designed to limit the Company’s exposure to potential product or service liability claims. However, these contract provisions may not preclude all potential claims. Product or professional services liability claims could require us to spend significant time and money in litigation or to pay significant damages.
The Company Competes with Microsoft while Simultaneously Supporting Microsoft Technologies
     The Company currently competes with Microsoft in the market for application development tools and data management products while simultaneously maintaining a working relationship with Microsoft. Microsoft has a longer operating history, a larger installed base of customers and substantially greater financial, distribution, marketing and technical resources than the Company. As a result, the Company may not be able to compete effectively with Microsoft now or in the future, and the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.
     We expect that Microsoft’s commitment to and presence in the application development and data management products market will substantially increase competitive pressures. We believe that Microsoft will continue to incorporate SQL Server database technology into its operating system software and certain of its server software offerings, possibly at no additional cost to its users. We believe that Microsoft will also continue to enhance its SQL Server database technology and that Microsoft will continue to invest in various sales and marketing programs involving certain of the Company’s channel partners.
     We believe the Company must maintain a working relationship with Microsoft to achieve success. Many of the Company’s customers use Microsoft-based operating platforms. Thus it is critical to the Company’s success that the Company’s products be closely integrated with Microsoft technologies. Notwithstanding the Company’s historical and current support of Microsoft platforms, Microsoft may in the future promote technologies and standards more directly competitive with or not compatible with the Company’s technology.
The Company Faces Significant Competition From Other Companies
     The Company encounters competition for its embedded database products primarily from large, public companies, including Microsoft, Oracle, Sybase, IBM, Progress, Pervasive Software, and Borland. In particular, Sybase’s small memory footprint database software product, Adaptive Server Anywhere, and Microsoft’s product, SQL Server, directly compete with the Company’s products. There is also competitive pressures for application development tools from Microsoft Visual Studio, SYBASE PowerBuilder and Borland Delphi and Kylix. And, because there are relatively low barriers to entry in the software market, the Company may encounter additional competition from other established or emerging companies providing database products based on existing, new or open-source technologies.
     Open-source software, which is an emerging trend in the software marketplace, may impact the Company’s business as interest, demand and use increases in the database segment and poses a challenge to the Company’s business model,

16


 

including recent efforts by proponents of open-source software to convince governments worldwide to mandate the use of open-source software in their purchase and deployments of software products. Firms adopting the open-source software model typically provide customers software produced by loosely associated groups of unpaid programmers and made available for license to end users at nominal cost, and earn revenue on complementary services and products, without having to bear the full costs of research and development for the open-source software. Because the present demand for open-source database software is largely concentrated in major corporations, the Company’s embedded database business has not been adversely affected to date. However, it is likely that increased adoption of Linux will drive heightened interest in other more mature software categories such as database and certain business applications. To the extent competing open-source software products gain increasing market acceptance, sales of the Company’s products may decline, the Company may have to reduce prices it charges for its products, and the Company’s revenue and operating margins may decline. Mass adoption of open source databases in the SME market could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s database business.
     Application service providers (ASPs) may enter the Company’s market and could cause a change in revenue models from licensing of client/server and Web-based applications to renting applications. The Company’s competitors may be more successful than it is in adopting these revenue models and capturing related market share.
     In addition, the Company competes or may compete against database vendors that currently offer, or may develop, products with functionalities that compete with the Company’s solutions. These products typically operate specifically with these competitors’ proprietary databases. Such competitors include IBM, Microsoft and Oracle. Competition also comes in the form of custom code, where potential customers have sufficient internal technical resources to develop solutions in-house without the aid of the Company’s products or those of its competitors.
     Most of the Company’s competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, significantly greater name recognition and a larger installed base of customers. In addition, some competitors have demonstrated willingness to, or may willingly in the future, incur substantial losses as a result of deeply discounted product offerings or aggressive marketing campaigns. As a result, the Company’s competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of competitive products, than we can. There is also a substantial risk that changes in licensing models or announcements of competing products by competitors such as Microsoft, Oracle, Sybase, IBM, Progress, MySQL, or others could result in the cancellation of customer orders in anticipation of the introduction of such new licensing models or products. In addition, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of their products to address customer needs which may limit the Company’s ability to sell its products through particular partners. Accordingly, new competitors or alliances among, or consolidations of, current and new competitors may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share in the Company’s current or anticipated markets. We also expect that competition will increase as a result of software industry consolidation. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced margins and loss of market share, any of which could materially adversely affect the Company’s business. We cannot be certain the Company will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors or that the competitive pressures the Company faces will not materially adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.
The Company is Susceptible to a Shift in the Market for Client/Server Applications toward Server based thin client or Web-Based Applications
     The Company has derived substantially all of its historical application development tool and embedded database product revenues from the use of its products in client/server applications. The Company expects to rely on continued market demand for client/server applications indefinitely. However, we believe market demand may shift from client/server applications to server based solutions using Citrix or similar technology or, Web-based applications. If so, this shift could occur before the Company’s product line has achieved market acceptance for use in Web-based applications. In addition, we cannot be certain that the Company’s existing client/server developers will migrate to Web-based applications and continue to use the Company’s products or that other developers of Web-based applications would select the Company’s data management products. Further, this shift could result in a change in revenue models from licensing of client/server and Web-based applications to renting of applications from application service providers. A decrease in client/server application sales coupled with an inability to derive revenues from the Web-based application market could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.
The Company Depends on International Sales and Operations
     We anticipate that for the foreseeable future the Company will derive a significant portion of its revenues from sources outside North America. In the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company derived more than 60% of its revenues outside North America. The Company’s international operations are generally subject to a number of risks. These risks include:

17


 

    foreign laws and business practices favoring local competition;
 
    dependence on local channel partners;
 
    compliance with multiple, conflicting and changing government laws and regulations;
 
    longer sales cycles;
 
    greater difficulty or delay in collecting payments from customers;
 
    difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;
 
    foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and the associated effects on product demand and timing of payment;
 
    increased tax rates in certain foreign countries;
 
    difficulties with financial reporting in foreign countries;
 
    quality control of certain development, translation or localization activities; and
 
    political and economic instability.
     The Company may expand or modify its operations internationally. Despite the Company’s efforts, it may not be able to expand or modify its operations internationally in a timely and cost-effective manner. Such an outcome would limit or eliminate any sales growth internationally, which in turn would materially adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. Even if the Company successfully expands or modifies its international operations, the Company may be unable to maintain or increase international market demand for its products.
     We expect the Company’s international operations will continue to place financial and administrative demands on us, including operational complexity associated with international facilities, administrative burdens associated with managing relationships with foreign partners, and treasury functions to manage foreign currency risks and collections.
Fluctuations in the Relative Value of Foreign Currencies Can Affect The Company’s Business
     To date, the majority of the Company’s transactions have been denominated in U.S. dollars. The majority of the Company’s international operating expenses and substantially all of its international sales have been denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Therefore, the Company’s operating results may be adversely affected by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar. Certain of the Company’s international sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, especially in Europe. Any strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the currencies of countries where the Company sells products denominated in U.S. dollars will increase the relative cost of the Company’s products and could negatively impact its sales in those countries. To the extent the Company’s international operations expand or are modified, our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations may increase. Although these transactions have not resulted in material gains and losses to date, similar transactions could have a damaging effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition in future periods.
The Company Must Continue to Hire and Retain Skilled Personnel
     The Company’s success depends in large part on its ability to attract, motivate and retain highly skilled employees on a timely basis, particularly executive management, sales and marketing personnel, software engineers and other senior personnel. The Company’s efforts to attract and retain highly skilled employees could be harmed by its past or any future workforce reductions. The Company’s failure to attract and retain the highly trained technical personnel who are essential to its product development, marketing, service and support teams may limit the rate at which the Company can generate revenue and develop new products or product enhancements. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.
HALO TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS, INC.
Historical Background
     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 with mining claims on land located near Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. To finance its exploration activities, the Company completed a public offering of its Common Stock, par value $.00001 per share, on March 14, 2001 and listed its Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on July 3, 2001. The Company conducted its exploration program on the mining property and the results did not warrant further mining activity. The Company then attempted to locate other properties for exploration but was unable to do so.
     In February, 2006, Halo’s board of directors approved resolutions to change the Company’s name from Warp Technology Holdings, Inc. to Halo Technology Holdings, Inc. by amending the our Articles of Incorporation. We received from our shareholders the consent of a majority of the outstanding votes entitled to be cast approving the amendment. Accordingly, effective April 2, 2006, our name changed to Halo Technology Holdings, Inc.
The Acquisition of Warp Solutions

18


 

     On May 24, 2002, the Company and Warp Solutions closed a share exchange transaction (the “Warp Solutions Share Exchange”) pursuant to a share exchange agreement dated as of May 16, 2002, by and among the Company, Carlo Civelli, Mike Muzylowski, Warp Solutions, Karl Douglas, John Gnip and related sellers. Following the closing of the Warp Solutions Share Exchange, Warp Solutions became a subsidiary of the Company and the operations of Warp Solutions became the sole operations of the Company.
     Subsequent to the closing of the Warp Solutions Share Exchange, the Company ceased all mineral exploration activities and the sole operations of the Company were the operations of its subsidiary, Warp Solutions.
The Upstream Merger and Name Change
     On August 19, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized and approved the upstream merger of WARP Technology Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which had no operations, with and into the Company pursuant to Chapter 92A of the Nevada Revised Statutes. The upstream merger became effective on August 21, 2002, when the Company filed Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State. In connection with the upstream merger, and as authorized by Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the Company changed its name from Abbott Mines Ltd. to WARP Technology Holdings, Inc.
The Acquisition of Spider Software, Inc.
     On January 10, 2003, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary 6043577 Canada Inc., acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Spider Software, Inc. (“Spider”), a privately held Canadian corporation, through a share exchange transaction pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Spider Exchange Agreement”) dated as of December 13, 2002. Pursuant to the Spider Exchange Agreement the Spider shareholders were issued 1,500,000 shares of the preferred stock of 6043577 Canada Inc., and the Company forgave outstanding Spider promissory notes of approximately $262,000, all in exchange for one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Spider. The Company owns 100% of the voting common stock of 6043577 Canada Inc. The preferred stock of 6043577 Canada Inc. has no voting rights or other preferences but is convertible on a 100 for 1 basis into the Common Stock of the Company. As a result, following the closing, Spider became a wholly-owned subsidiary of 6043577 Canada Inc. and thereby an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Acquisition of Gupta Technologies, LLC
     On January 31, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of Gupta Technologies, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Gupta Technologies GmbH, a German company, Gupta Technologies Ltd., a U.K. company, and Gupta Technologies S.A. de C.V., a Mexican company (collectively referred to herein as “Gupta”). The acquisition of Gupta was made pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Gupta Agreement”) between the Company and Gupta Holdings, LLC.
     Under the Gupta Agreement, the total purchase price was $21,000,000, excluding transaction costs, of which the Company delivered $15,750,000 in cash on or before the closing. The remainder of the purchase price was paid in equity and debt securities issued or provided by the Company with the terms described herein. As a result, following the closing, Gupta became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Acquisition of Kenosia Corporation
     On July 6, 2005 the Company purchased Kenosia, a software company whose products include its DataAlchemy product line. DataAlchemy is a sales and marketing analytics platform that is utilized by global companies to drive retail sales and profits through timely and effective analysis of transactional data. Kenosia’s installed customers span a wide range of industries, including consumer packaged goods, entertainment, pharmaceutical, automotive, spirits, wine and beer, brokers and retailers. The purchase price paid for Kenosia was $1,800,000 (net of a working capital adjustment).
Acquisition of Five Enterprise Software Companies
     On October 26, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of Tesseract and four other companies; DAVID Corporation, Process Software, ProfitKey International, and Foresight Software, Inc. (collectively “Process and Affiliates”).
     Tesseract, headquartered in San Francisco, is a total HR solutions provider offering an integrated Web-enabled HRMS suite. Tesseract’s Web-based solution suite allows HR users, employees and external service providers to communicate securely and electronically in real time. The integrated nature of the system allows for easy access to data and a higher level

19


 

of accuracy for internal reporting, assessment and external data interface. Tesseract’s customer base includes corporations operating in a diverse range of industries, including financial services, transportation, utilities, insurance, manufacturing, petroleum, retail, and pharmaceuticals.
     DAVID Corporation is a pioneer in Risk Management Information Systems.

     The purchase price for the acquisition of DAVID Corporation, Process Software, ProfitKey International, and Foresight Software was an aggregate of $12,000,000, which the Company paid in cash. Under the merger agreement for the acquisition of Tesseract (the “Tesseract Merger Agreement”), the merger consideration consisted of (i) $4,500,000 in cash which was paid 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 to Platinum Equity, LLC (the “Platinum Note”). Additionally, the Company is required to pay a working capital adjustment of $1,000,000. Since this amount was not paid by November 30, 2005, Platinum Equity, LLC (“Platinum”), the seller of Tesseract, has the option to convert the working capital adjustment into up to 1,818,181 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. To date, the Platinum has not elected to do so. Furthermore, since the working capital adjustment was not paid by November 30, 2005, the Company must pay Platinum a monthly transaction advisory fee of $50,000 per month, commencing December 1, 2005. At December 31, 2005, the Company accrued $50,000 of such fees.
     On March 31, 2006, the Company and Platinum entered into an Amendment and Consent (the “Amendment and Consent”) to the Platinum Note. Pursuant to the Amendment and Consent, the maturity of the Platinum Note was modified such that the aggregate principal amount of the Platinum 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 shall be paid on the earliest of (w) the second business day following the closing of the acquisition of Unify Corporation by the Company, (x) the second business day following termination of the merger agreement pursuant to which Unify is to be acquired by the Company, (y) the second business day after the Company closes an equity financing of at least $2.0 million subsequent to the date of the Amendment and Consent or (z) July 31, 2006. In accordance with the Amendment and Consent, $1,000,000 was paid to Platinum on March 31, 2006. Since the entire amount of the Platinum 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 Tesseract Merger Agreement. These shares would have been canceled if the Platinum Note had been paid in full by that date.
     The Tesseract Merger Agreement 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”. Under the Tesseract Merger Agreement, a Qualified Equity Offering is defined as an equity financing (i) greater than $5,000,000, (ii) not consummated with any affiliate of the Company, and (iii) the securities issued in such equity financing are equal or senior in liquidation and dividend preference to the Series D Preferred Stock. If the Company’s next round of equity financing is not a Qualified Equity Offering, the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock will convert at the option of Platinum into the terms of the offering, or maintain the terms of the Series D Preferred Stock. In addition, the Series D Stock may be converted into Common Stock at the election of the holder.
Acquisition of Empagio
     The Company entered into a merger agreement dated December 19, 2005, to acquire Empagio. On January 13, 2006, the closing occurred under the merger agreement and Empagio is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The merger consideration consisted of 1,438,455 shares of Common Stock. Based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the day of the closing, the total purchase price was $1,869,992, subject to adjustment.
     Empagio is a human resources management software company. Its signature product is its SymphonyHR hosted software solution which automates HR procedures and reduces paperwork, ranging from payroll to benefits administration. The

Agreement to Acquire InfoNow
     On December 23, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger with InfoNow (the “InfoNow Merger Agreement”) in a transaction valued at $7.2 million. Upon the closing under the InfoNow Merger Agreement, InfoNow will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
     InfoNow is a public enterprise software company, headquarted in Denver, Colorado. InfoNow provides channel visibility and channel management solutions, in the form of software and services, to companies that sell their products through complex networks of distributors, dealers, resellers, retailers, agents or branches (i.e., “channel partners”). Companies use InfoNow’s software and services to collaborate with their channel partners to create demand, increase revenues, lower operating costs and maximize the return on investment of their channel strategies. InfoNow’s clients are generally companies with extensive channel partner networks, and include companies such as Apple, Hewlett-Packard, Juniper Networks, NEC Display Solutions of America, The Hartford, Visa, and Wachovia Corporation.
     Under the terms of the InfoNow Merger Agreement, which was approved by both companies’ boards of directors, each share of InfoNow’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger will be converted into the right to receive approximately $0.71 in a combination of cash and Common Stock of Warp.
     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 Warp Common Stock to the extent that the approximately $0.71 per share merger consideration exceeds the applicable exercise price. The amount of cash and Warp’s Common Stock to be issued in respect of the outstanding in-the-money stock options as described above will be calculated based upon the relative proportions of the cash and Warp Common Stock issued in the merger in respect of the outstanding Warp Common Stock.
     The Company will also issue a contingent value right (a “CVR”) in respect of each share of Warp 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 Warp’s Common Stock (based on a 20-day average) is less than the average closing price for the twenty consecutive trading days ending two trading days prior to the closing of the merger (the “HALO Conversion Price”). The CVRs will expire prior to the 18-month payment date if during any consecutive 45-day trading period during that time when the volume of Warp’s Common Stock is not less than 200,000 per day, the stock price is 175% of the HALO Conversion Price.
     Consummation of the InfoNow transaction is subject to several closing conditions, including, among others, approval by a majority of InfoNow’s common shares entitled to vote thereon, negotiation of the final terms of the CVR agreement and the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by the Company, registering the shares of Warp Common Stock and related CVRs to be issued in the merger. In addition, the InfoNow Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights allowing InfoNow, the Company or both parties to terminate the agreement upon the occurrence of certain conditions, including the failure to consummate the merger by July 31, 2006.
Acquisition of ECI
     On January 30, 2006, the Company entered into a merger agreement with ECI (the “ECI Merger Agreement”). On March 1, 2006, the closing occurred under the ECI Merger Agreement, and ECI will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The total merger consideration for all of the equity interests in ECI was $603,571 in cash and cash equivalents and 330,668 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (with a value of $558,829 at the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock), subject to adjustment based on the Net Working Capital (as defined in the ECI Merger Agreement) on the closing date. ECI will be merged with Empagio. The acquisition of ECI’s clients will enhance Empagio’s human resources software offerings.
Agreement to Acquire Unify
     On March 14, 2006, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Unify Merger Agreement”) with Unify Corporation (“Unify”) in a transaction valued at approximately $20.6 million.
     Unify provides business automation solutions, including market leading applications for the alternative risk insurance market. Upon completion of the merger, Unify will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Unify Business Solutions division will work closely with the Company’s Gupta subsidiary, a leading producer of embeddable databases and enterprise application development tools, who together will have more than 7,000 worldwide customers and a broad offering of Java, J2EE and relational database products. Unify’s Insurance Risk Management Division will work closely with the Company’s David Corporation subsidiary, a leading claims software provider with a large customer base in the alternative risk market.
     In connection with the Unify Merger Agreement, two shareholders of Unify representing approximately thirty-three percent (33%) of outstanding voting rights of Unify have executed voting agreements which, subject to limited exceptions, require these stockholders to vote their Unify shares in favor of the Merger.
     Under the terms of the Unify Merger Agreement, which was approved by the boards of directors of each of the Company and Unify, each share of Unify’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger will be converted into the right to receive 0.437 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Exchange Ratio”). The merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
     In addition, each outstanding option to purchase shares of common stock of Unify that has an exercise price of less than $1.00 per share shall become and represent an option to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock (rounded down to the nearest full share) determined by multiplying (X) the number of shares of Unify common stock subject to the option immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger by (Y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of the Company’s common stock equal to the result of dividing (A) the exercise price of the Unify option by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the result up to the nearest tenth of one cent. All other outstanding options to purchase Unify common stock shall be cancelled at the effective time of the Merger. The Company options issued in substitution of Unify options shall contain substantially the same terms and conditions as the applicable Unify options.
     Each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of common stock of Unify shall become and represent a warrant to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock (rounded down to the nearest full share) determined by multiplying (X) the number of shares of Unify common stock subject to the warrant immediately prior to the effective time of the merger by (Y) the Exchange Ratio. The exercise price for the Company’s shares issuable upon exercise of the Company warrants issued in replacement of the Unify warrants shall be $1.836 per share. The Company warrants issued in substitution of Unify warrants shall contain substantially the same terms and conditions as the applicable Unify warrants.
     Consummation of the merger is subject to several closing conditions, including, among others, approval by a majority of Unify’s common shares entitled to vote thereon, holders of less than ten percent (10%) of Unify’s outstanding common stock exercising appraisal or dissenter’s rights, the Company receiving a new equity investment of at least $2.0 million, the Company converting certain of its outstanding convertible debt into common stock, no material adverse change in the business or condition of either company prior to the effective time of the merger, and the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by the Company registering the shares of common stock to be issued in the merger. In addition, the Unify Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights allowing Unify, the Company or both parties to terminate the agreement upon the occurrence of certain conditions, including the failure to consummate the merger by September 30, 2006.
Name Change

Gupta Business
     Gupta develops, markets and supports software products that enable software programmers to create enterprise class applications, operating on either the Microsoft Windows or Linux operating systems that are used in large and small businesses and governmental entities around the world. Applications developed using Gupta products are used in mission-critical processes in thousands of businesses worldwide. Everyday, people rely on Gupta products when filling a prescription at their local pharmacy, banking online, shipping a package, riding a train, or shopping at a convenience store. Businesses rely on Gupta products to run their manufacturing operations, track their finances and organize their data.
     Gupta’s flagship products, Team Developer and SQLBase, are specifically designed to meet the demands for enterprise performance and functionality combined with low total cost of ownership. SQLBase is a low/zero-administration relational database that features a high level of security with more than one million copies in use worldwide. It is ideal for rich client applications and environments where it is impractical to have a database administrator. Team Developer is used by over 10,000 developers worldwide and offers an object-oriented, 4GL toolset with built-in version control, customizable coding environment, and native connectivity to most popular databases. It can be used by a single developer or by large teams to develop robust applications in a managed environment. Gupta’s primary customers are independent software vendors (ISVs), value-added resellers (VARs), systems integrators and corporate IT departments.
     While Gupta products can be used independently with other tools and databases, the majority of Gupta’s customers use them in conjunction with each other to develop business applications. A typical customer uses Team Developer to create a software application for a business solution, with SQLBase as the embedded database, and deploys that application within their organization (a corporate user), or sells the application as a proprietary product (ISVs and VARs).
     Gupta sells its products using a traditional software licensing model. Developers buy Team Developer licenses by the seat. SQLBase licenses are sold as either a single workstation version or a multi-user server version on a per seat basis. Gupta additionally offers maintenance and support contracts that allow customers to receive product upgrades and telephone support on an annual basis.
     Gupta in its present form originated in February 2001 when Platinum, a private equity firm in Los Angeles, California, acquired certain assets and liabilities from Centura Software Corporation (“Centura”). These assets and liabilities related principally to the SQLBase and Team Developer product lines and included all rights to the intellectual property, the working capital, fixed assets, contracts, and operating subsidiaries that supported these products. Gupta also hired certain employees from Centura to support the development, sales, technical support, and administration of the acquired assets. Originally founded in 1983 as Plum Computers, Inc., the entity became Gupta Technologies, Inc. in 1984, then Gupta Corporation in 1992, then Centura Software Corporation in 1996. Gupta is a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. In January 2005, Gupta was acquired from Gupta Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Platinum, by the Company.
     Gupta is based in Redwood Shores, California with offices in Munich, London, and Paris. It has over 1,000 customers in over 50 countries.
Warp Solutions Business
     In addition to the Gupta businesses, the Company operates in the United States, Canada and the U.K. through its subsidiaries, Warp Solutions, a Delaware corporation, Warp Solutions, Ltd., a U.K. corporation, 6043577 Canada, Inc., a Canadian corporation, and Spider Software, Inc., a Canadian corporation. These subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this prospectus as “Warp Solutions.” Warp Solutions produces a series of application acceleration products that improve the speed and efficiency of transactions and information requests that are processed over the internet and intranet network systems.

     The primary product offered is the SpiderSoftware product, which is a software solution designed to enable caching of pure dynamic content at the web server layer. This product is installed on the web server of an enterprise to allow network administrators to select certain sections of its content to remain dynamic, a feature known as partial page caching.
     The benefits of the SpiderSoftware solution are increased speed, performance, scalability, availability and efficiency of a network infrastructure’s informational and transactional data flow. The primary advantages of the SpiderSoftware solution include highly granular cache control, support for both static and dynamic page caching, partial page caching, database trigger support for dynamic cache management, clustering support, cross platform web administration tool, real-time cache efficiency performance monitoring, automatic image optimization, and support for multiple operating systems including Windows NT, Linux, Solaris, and Unix.

Sales and Marketing
     The Company currently uses both indirect and direct sales models, based on geography. In Europe, the Company uses an indirect sales channel relying on VARs and distributors to sell its products to end users. The Company’s sales and marketing team in Europe works directly with its VAR partners to help them market and sell the Company’s products by engaging in joint efforts to meet with their customers, attend their roadshows, provide technical support and training and attending major technology trade events. In North America, the Company relies on direct sales force to sell its products. The Company is currently working on developing an indirect channel in North America. The Company is targeting VARs and ISVs, similar to ones the Company is successfully working with in Europe, to partner with in selling the Company’s products. Throughout Latin America and AsiaPacific, the Company uses an indirect sales model similar to Europe. It is the Company’s intent to increase its marketing activities worldwide in fiscal 2006 to increase the Company brand awareness, attract new partners and customers and generate increased revenues.
Software Product Development
     The Company’s software development effort is based in its North American offices with another 30 full-time contractors based in India. It is the Company’s intent to continue developing enhanced functionality in the Company’s existing products.
Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights
     We regard certain aspects of the Company’s operations, products and documentation as proprietary. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and other measures to protect our proprietary rights. We also rely on contractual restrictions in the Company’s agreements with customers, employees and others to protect our intellectual property rights. However, in certain foreign countries, effective copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or the laws of these other jurisdictions may not protect our proprietary technology rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Failure to obtain and/or maintain appropriate patent, copyright or trade secret protection either in the United States or in certain foreign countries, for any reason, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

24


 

     The Company licenses software and technology from third parties, including some competitors, and incorporates them into its own software products, some of which are critical to the operation of the Company’s software.
     The source code for the Company’s software products is protected both as a trade secret and as a copyrighted work. Some of the Company’s customers are beneficiaries of a source code escrow account arrangement which enables the customer to obtain a contingent future limited right to use the Company’s source code solely for the customer’s internal use. If the Company’s source code is accessed, the likelihood of misappropriation or other misuse of the Company’s intellectual property may increase.
     We believe that the Company’s copyrights, trademarks and other proprietary rights do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties. However, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company in the future with respect to current or future products or that any such assertion will not require the Company to enter into royalty arrangements or result in litigation.
Competition
     The market for the Company’s products and services is extremely competitive and contains a number of companies that are larger, more established and better financed than the Company. Competitors include Microsoft, Oracle, Sybase, Cisco and many other companies. To the extent that our products or services have a competitive advantage, due to the fact that there are larger, better capitalized companies in the marketplace, there is no assurance that the Company can maintain a competitive position.

Raw Materials

26


 

     The Company does not use any raw materials in its business.
Dependence on Major Customers
     The Company has no customer that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues in fiscal 2004. In fiscal 2005, the Company had one customer that accounted for approximately 15% of the Company’s revenue.
Research and Development
     During fiscal year 2004, the Company spent approximately $812,000 on research and development of its products. During the fiscal year 2005, the Company spent approximately $1,589,000 on research and the development of its products. The pricing of the Company’s products reflects, among other things, the cost of their development as well as the cost of the component parts and applicable license fees.
Personnel
As of June 30, 2005, the Company employed 57 people, including 25 in sales and marketing, 12 in research and development, 5 in technical support and 15 in administration. As of March 1, 2006, the Company employed 234 people, including 50 in sales and marketing, 99 in research and development, 40 in technical support and 45 in administration, all of whom are full-time employees. None of the Company’s employees are covered by a labor union.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
     The following discussion and analysis provides information that the Company’s management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. This discussion is based on, and should be read together with, the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and the notes to such financial statements, which are included in this registration statement.
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. SFAS No. 123 (R) will be effective for the period beginning January 1, 2006. The impact on this new standard, if it had been in effect on the net loss and related per share amounts of our three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 is disclosed above in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-Stock Based Compensation. We believe the adoption will have an effect on our results of operations.
     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 123R, SAB 107 provides the views of the Staff regarding the interaction between SFAS 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations and, among other things, provide the Staff’s views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. The Company intends to follow the interpretative guidance on share-based payment set forth in SAB 107 during the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123R.

Critical Accounting Policies
     The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities.
     On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and accounting for intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
     We have identified the accounting policies below as the policies critical to the Company’s business operations and the understanding of the Company’s results of operations. We believe the following critical accounting policies and the related judgments and estimates affect the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements:
Revenue Recognition
     The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition.
     Revenues are derived from the licensing of software, maintenance contracts, training, and other consulting services.
     In arrangements that include rights to multiple software products and/or services, the Company allocates and defers revenue for the undelivered items, based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value, and recognizes the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered items as revenue. 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 Gupta’s software through its indirect sales channel, revenue is recognized when the distributor sells the software to its end-users, including value-added resellers. For licensing of software to independent software vendors, revenue is recognized upon shipment to the independent software vendors.
     Service revenue for maintenance contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. Revenue from training and other consulting services is recognized as the related services are performed.
Business Combinations and Deferred Revenue.
     In accordance with business combination accounting, we allocate the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values. We engage third-party appraisal firms to assist management in determining the fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such a valuation requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets and deferred revenue.
     Management makes estimates of fair value based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable. These estimates are based on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain. Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows from license sales, maintenance agreements, consulting contracts, customer contracts and acquired developed technologies and patents; the acquired company’s brand awareness and market position, as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired brand will continue to be used in the combined company’s product portfolio; and discount rates. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.
     We have acquired several software companies in fiscal 2006, and we plan to make more acquisitions in the future. Acquired deferred revenue is recognized at fair value to the extent it represents a legal obligation assumed by us in accordance with EITF 01-03, “Accounting in a Business Combination for Deferred Revenue of an Acquiree.” Under this guidance, the Company estimates fair values of acquired deferred revenue by adding an approximated normal profit margin

28


 

to the estimated cost required to fulfill the obligation underlying the deferred revenue. As a result of this valuation, the deferred revenues of the acquired companies normally decrease substantially. In the enterprise software industry, this reduction averages between forty to sixty percent of the original balance. The reduction of the deferred revenue has a negative effect on the recognized revenue until the deferred revenue balance builds up to a normal level of the acquired business. The length of this effect depends on contracts underlying the deferred revenue. As the Company continues to acquire more businesses in the enterprise software industry, the effect of this deferred revenue valuation will have significant effect on the Company’s results of operations.
Product Development Costs
     Product development costs incurred in the process of developing product improvements and enhancements or new products are charged to expense as incurred. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on the Company’s product development process, technological feasibility is established upon the completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the Company between the completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release has been insignificant.
Intangible assets and Goodwill
     Intangible assets are primarily comprised of customer relationships, developed technology, trade names and contracts. Goodwill represents acquisition costs in excess of the net assets of businesses acquired. In accordance with SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” goodwill is no longer amortized; instead goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis. We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles and goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
    Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
 
    Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and
 
    Significant negative industry or economic trends.
     When we determine that the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, we record an impairment charge. We measure any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. Trade names are considered to have indefinite life. All other intangibles are being amortized over their estimated useful life of three to ten years.
     We have recorded a significant amount of goodwill on our balance sheet. As of December 31, 2005, goodwill was approximately $29 million, representing approximately 46% 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
     The Company uses the intrinsic value method to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and have adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure.” Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for fixed stock option grants. Had compensation costs for the Company’s stock option grants been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under these plans in accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss and loss per share would have been reduced to amounts disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements under caption “Summary of

29


 

Significant Accounting Policies—Stock Based Compensation”. SFAS No. 123 (R) will be effective for the period beginning January 1, 2006. The adoption of this standard will generally result in increased compensation expense as it values any unvested options previously not recognized by APB 25.

The total revenue of $8.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was due to the acquisitions of Gupta, $5.8 million, Kenosia, $468,000, Tesseract, $737,000, and Process and Affiliates, $1.6 million. The increase in revenue during the twelve months ending June 30, 2004 as compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2004 was due primarily to the acquisition of Gupta, which accounted for approximately $4,781,000 of the fiscal 2005 revenues.
     License revenue increased by $1.4 million to $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $85,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. License revenue increased by $2.6 million to $2.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 from $212,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. The total license revenue of $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily due to the acquisitions of Gupta, $1.1 million, and Process and Affiliates, $429,000. The total license revenue of $2.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily due to the acquisitions of Gupta, $2.3 million, Kenosia, $90,000, and Process and Affiliates, $429,000.
     Services revenue increased by $3.8 million to $3.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $21,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004.

The total revenue of $5.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was due to the acquisitions of Gupta, $3.5 million, Kenosia, $378,000, Tesseract, $736,000, and Process and Affiliates, $1.2 million.
     Because of the reduction of deferred revenue after an acquisition under generally accepted accounting principles, which has the effect of reducing the amount of revenue recognized in a given period from what would have been recognized had the acquisition not occurred, past reported periods should not be relied upon as predictive of future performance. Additionally, the Company’s operating strategy is to continue to acquire technology companies. Each of such transactions will cause a change to our future financial results. The Company believes such transactions will have a positive effect on the Company’s revenues and income (loss) before interest.
Cost of Revenue
     Total cost of revenue increased by $919,000 to $959,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $40,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. Total cost of revenue increased by $1.2 million to $1.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 from $54,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. Total cost of revenue for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005 was approximately $548,000, as compared to $425,000 for the same period in 2004.

The total cost of revenue of $1.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was due to the acquisitions of Gupta,$525,000, Kenosia, $164,000, Tesseract, $179,000, and Process and Affiliates, $403,000. The increase in cost of revenue for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 is directly related to the increase in revenues. In addition, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2004, the cost of sales included a write-off of approximately $238,000 of obsolete and damaged WARP 2063 servers.

The total cost of license fees of $155,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily due to the acquisitions of Gupta, $47,000, Kenosia, $8,000, and Process and Affiliates, $100,000. The total cost of license fees of $201,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily due to the acquisitions of Gupta, $92,000, Kenosia, $8,000,and Process and Affiliates, $100,000.
     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 $804,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. Cost of services revenue increased by $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 from $0 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. The cost of service revenue increase of $804,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was a result of an increase in employee compensation directly related to additional headcount added in conjunction with the acquisitions of Gupta, $224,000, Kenosia, $99,000, Tesseract, $178,000, and Process and Affiliates, $303,000. The cost of service revenue increase of $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was a result of an increase in employee compensation directly related to additional headcount added in conjunction with the acquisitions of Gupta, $460,000, Kenosia, $156,000, Tesseract, $178,000, and Process and Affiliates, $303,000.
     Gross profit margins were 82% for the three months ended December 31, 2005, compared to 63% for the three months ended December 31, 2004. Gross profit margins increased to 85% for the six months ended December 31, 2005, compared to 80% for the six months ended December 31, 2004. The gross margin increase 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 during 2005. Gross profit margins increased to 89% for the year ended June 30, 2005, compared to 52% for the year ended June 30, 2004. The gross margin increase was mainly due to the change in the product mix the Company sells due to its Gupta subsidiary, which was acquired in January 2005.
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 $1.5 million to $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $36,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004.

The increase for the six months ended December 31, 2004 was almost entirely attributable to an increase in employee compensation, and third party off shore consulting costs. The increase of $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was mainly resulted from the acquisition of Gupta, $793,000, Kenosia, $60,000, Tesseract, $237,000, and Process and Affiliates, $438,000. The increase of $2.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 mainly resulted from the acquisitions of Gupta, $1.7 million, Kenosia, $125,000, Tesseract, $237,000, and Process and Affiliates, $438,000. The increase in product development expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005 was due to the acquisition of Gupta, which accounted for approximately $1,397,000 of the 2005 product development expense. 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 Company’s sales and marketing personnel. Sales and marketing expenses increased by approximately $1.8 million to $2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $223,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. Sales and marketing expenses increased by approximately $3 million to $3.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 from $477,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2004.

31


 

the acquisitions of Gupta, $2.7 million, Kenosia, $40,000, Tesseract, $49,000, and Process and Affiliates, $267,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The increase in sales, marketing and business development expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005 was due to the acquisition of Gupta, which accounted for approximately $2,171,000 of the 2005 sales and marketing expense.
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 $3.4 million to $3.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $251,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $4.2 million to $5.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 from $1.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2004. General and administrative expense was approximately $4,989,000 and $8,468,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 respectively. The increase for the six months ended December 31, 2005 is attributable to increased headcount to manage the increasing size and complexity of the Company’s operations, as the Company has acquired new subsidiaries, as well as professional services fees associated with the acquisitions and securities laws and tax compliance. For the three months ended December 31, 2005, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.7 million was directly attributable to the acquisitions of Gupta, $1.1 million, Kenosia, $160,000, Tesseract, $446,000, and Process and Affiliates, $957,000. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, general and administrative expenses increased by $4 million was directly attributable to the acquisitions of Gupta, $2.3 million, Kenosia, $332,000, Tesseract, $446,000, and Process and Affiliates, $957,000. The decrease of $3,479,000 in general and administrative expense from the twelve months ended June 30, 2004 to the twelve months ended June 30, 2005 was due primarily to a decrease in non-cash compensation of $4,464,000, which was off set by increased cost due to the acquisition of Gupta
Interest Expense
     Interest expense increased by $2.2 million to $ 2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $46,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. Interest expense increased by $3.5 million to $3.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 from $46,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to the following: accretion of fair values of warrants issued in connection with the Company’s debt, amortization of deferred financing costs (such as legal fees, due diligence fees, etc), and cash interest. The accretion of the fair values of the warrants accounted for approximately $1.1 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively. The amortization of the deferred financing costs accounted for $139,000 and $374,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively. And, the cash interest and the conversion of interest into Common Stock accounted for $1.0 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively.
Net Operating Loss Carryforwards
     The Company has a U.S. Federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $41,128,000 as of December 31, 2005, 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 $16,700,000. 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.
     The Company has foreign subsidiaries based in the United Kingdom, Canada and Germany and is responsible for paying certain foreign income taxes. As a result, there is an income tax provision of $34,000 and $86,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to $0 and $0 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004.
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 six months ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company used approximately $265,000 and $1,297,000, respectively to fund its operations. The cash was used primarily to fund operating losses, as well as approximately $16,374,000 for acquisitions, $8,325,000 for repayment of the principle portion of outstanding debt. For the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 the Company used approximately $3.4 and $4.8 million, respectively to fund its operations.
     As of June 30, 2005 the Company used approximately $15.8 million for investing activities. The Company paid approximately $15 million in cash for the acquisition of Gupta and deposited approximately $.8 million for the Kenosia acquisition.
     As of June 30, 2005 the Company raised approximately $20.8 million, of which $12.2 million was from the sale of preferred stock, $2.5 million from issuance of subordinated notes and $6.1 million from the issuance of senior notes.
     On January 31, 2005, the Company issued $2,500,00 principal amount of subordinated convertible promissory notes (the “Subordinated Notes”). The Subordinated Notes bear interest at 10%, payable in common stock or cash, and mature January 31, 2007. The Subordinated Notes are convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share, which conversion rate is subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The common stock issuable upon conversion of the Subordinated Notes has certain registration rights.
     The Company entered into a $50,000,000 credit facility with Fortress Credit Opportunities LP and Fortress Credit Corp. on August 2, 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the lenders thereunder (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 “Loan”). In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, the Company borrowed $10,000,000 under Tranche A to repay its then-existing senior indebtedness, as well as certain existing subordinated indebtedness and to pay certain closing costs. On October 26, 2005, in connection with the closings of the acquisition of Tesseract, DAVID Corporation, Process Software, ProfitKey International and Foresight Software, Inc., the Company entered into made an additional loan of $15,000,000 under Tranche B of the credit facility under the Credit Agreement. The rate of interest payable on the amounts borrowed under the Loan 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 the rate offered in the London interbank market for U.S. Dollar deposits for the relevant period but no less than 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. In the event the Company completes further acquisitions, the Company and the other parties to the credit agreement will agree upon modifications to the financial covenants to reflect the changes to the Company’s consolidated assets, liabilities, and expected results of operations in amounts to be mutually agreed to by the parties. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides that in the event of certain changes of control, including (i) a reduction in the equity ownership in the Company of Ron Bienvenu or his immediate family members below 90% of such equity interests on the date of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) Ron Bienvenu ceases to perform his current management functions and is not replaced within 90 days by a person satisfactory to Fortress, all amounts due may be declared immediately due and payable.
     The Credit Agreement contains specific events of default, including failure to make a payment, the breach of certain representations and warranties, and insolvency events. There is also a “cross-default” provision that provides that certain events of default under certain contracts between the Company or its subsidiaries and third parties will constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement.
     The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company, and any new subsidiaries of the Company are obligated to become guarantors. The Company and its subsidiaries granted first priority security interests in their assets, and pledged the stock or equity interests in their respective subsidiaries, as collateral for the Loans. 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. Any new subsidiary of the Company will become subject to the same provisions.
     On September 20, 2005, the Company issued a $500,000 principal amount promissory note (the “September 2005 Note”). The maturity on this note was December 19, 2005, unless it was converted prior to that date into equity. On January 11, 2006, the holder of this note converted the $500,000 principal (plus accrued interest) into the Series E Subscription Agreement described under “Recent Developments — Series E Notes and Series E Subscription Agreements” below.

The terms of the January 2006 Subscription Agreements are described more fully below under “Recent Developments — January 2006 Subscription Agreements.
     On October 26, 2005, as part of the acquisition of Tesseract, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $1,750,000 to Platinum (the “Platinum Note”). The principal under the Platinum Note accrues interest at a rate of 9.0% per annum. The principal and accrued interest under the Platinum Note was due on March 31, 2006. Interest is payable in registered shares of the Company’s common stock, provided that until such shares are registered, interest shall be paid in cash. The Platinum Note contains certain negative covenants including that the Company will not incur additional indebtedness, other than permitted indebtedness under the Platinum Note. Under the Platinum 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 Platinum 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 of its subsidiaries 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 of its subsidiaries; (g) the Company breaches certain of its covenants set forth in the Platinum Note; or (h) an Insolvency Event (as defined in the Platinum Note) occurs with respect to the Company or one of its subsidiaries.

     On October 21, 2005, the Company entered into certain convertible promissory notes to various accredited investors (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 it was entered into, unless the October 2005 Notes were converted into debt or equity securities of the Company in the Company’s next financing involving sales by the Company of a class of its preferred stock or convertible debt securities, or any other similar or equivalent financing transaction. Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) in principal amount (plus accrued interest) of the October 2005 Notes was repaid by the Company in early March. On January 11, 2006, the holder of the remaining $500,000 October 2005 Note converted the $500,000 principal (plus accrued interest) under this

33


 

October 2005 Note into the Series E Subscription Agreement described under “Recent Developments — Series E Notes and Series E Subscription Agreements” below. Under the Series E Subscription Agreement, the holder of this 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. The terms of the January 2006 Subscription Agreements are described more fully below under “Recent Developments — January 2006 Subscription Agreements.”.
     Also on October 21, 2005, the Company issued warrants (the “October 2005 Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 363,636 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. The October 2005 Warrants were issued in connection with the October 2005 Notes described above. The exercise price for the October 2005 Warrants is $1.375, subject to adjustment as provided in the October 2005 Warrants. The October 2005 Warrants are exercisable until October 21, 2010. The October 2005 Warrants contain 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 October 2005 Warrants) is greater than the exercise price per share on the expiration date. The October 2005 Warrants also contain a cashless exercise provision. The October 2005 Warrants also contain a limitation on exercise which limits the number of shares of the Company’s 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 the Company’s common stock. This provision is waivable by the holder on 60 days notice.
     On October 14, 2005, one of the Company’s directors, David Howitt, made a short-term loan to the Company for $150,000. On January 11, 2006, Mr. Howitt converted the principal (plus accrued interest) under this loan into the Series E Subscription Agreement described under “Recent Developments — Series E Notes and Series E Subscription Agreements” below. Under the Series E Subscription Agreement, Mr. Howitt’s has 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 he had invested the amount invested in such securities. Mr. Howitt has indicated to the Company that he intends 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 under “Recent Developments — January 2006 Subscription Agreements.
     As of December 31, 2005 the Company had approximately $1,844,000 in cash and cash equivalents, $4,550,000 in net accounts receivable, $8,658,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and $4,842,000 in short-term notes and loans payable, net of warrants’ fair value discount of $108,000 and $1,293,000 to ISIS and affiliated companies.
     For the six months ended December 31, 2005, the Company used approximately $16,425,928 for investing activities. During the same period, the Company paid approximately $507,000 in cash as part of consideration to acquire Kenosia and approximately $15,867,102 in cash as part of consideration to purchase Tesseract, Process, DAVID Corporation, Profitkey, and Foresight from Platinum Equity, LLC.
     As of December 31, 2005, the Company had debt that matures in the next 12 months in the amount of $4,950,000. This consists of $500,000 of note payable to Bristol Technology, Inc. (seller of Kenosia), $2,750,000 payable to Platinum Equity, LLC (seller of Tesseract, Process, DAVID Corporation, Profitkey, and Foresight), and $1,700,000 in notes payable to other investors. As of the date hereof, $500,000 of the $1,700,000 notes have been paid, and the $500,000 note payable to Bristol Technology, Inc has been paid. 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.
     The Company continues to evaluate strategic alternatives, including opportunities to strategically grow the business, enter into strategic relationships, make acquisitions or enter into business combinations. The Company can provide no assurance that any such strategic alternatives will come to fruition and may elect to terminate such evaluations at any time.
     The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including cash flow from operations, continued progress in research and development programs, competing technological and market developments, and the Company’s ability to maintain its current customers and successfully market its products, as well as any future acquisitions it undertakes. The Company intends to meet it cash needs, as in the past, through cash generated from operations, the proceeds of privately placed equity issuances and debt. Even without further acquisitions, in order to meet its financial obligations including repayment of outstanding debt obligations, the Company will have to issue further equity and engage in further debt transactions. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in such efforts. In the absence of such further financing, the Company will either be unable to meet its debt obligations or with have to significantly restructure its operations, or a combination of these two actions. Such actions would significantly negatively affect the value of the Company’s common stock.

Series E Notes and Series E Subscription Agreements
     On January 11, 2006, the Company entered into certain convertible promissory notes (the “Series E Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000). Interest accrues under the Series E Notes at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The Notes provide that they automatically convert into (i) such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock (the “Series E Stock”) equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount due under the Series E Notes plus the amount of all accrued but unpaid interest under the Series E Notes divided by $1.25, and (ii) warrants (the “Series E Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 40% of such number of shares of Series E Stock issued to the holder. Under the terms of the Series E Notes, the automatic conversion was to occur upon the effectiveness of the filing of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights (the “Certificate of Designations”) pertaining to the Company’s Series E Stock, and, in the event that the Certificate of Designations was not filed 30 days after the Series E Notes were issued (February 10, 2006) then the holders of the Series E Notes may demand that the Company pay the principal amount of the Series E Notes, together with accrued interest. No demand for payment has been made.
     Under the Series E Subscription Agreements described below, holders of the Series E Notes had the right, in the event that the Company completed or entered into agreements to sell equity securities on or before February 15, 2006, to convert the Series E Notes into such other equity securities as if the investor had invested the amount invested in such securities. The holders of the Series E Notes have indicated to the Company that they intend to exercise this right and receive the same securities as were issued under the January 2006 Subscription Agreements. The terms of the January 2006 Subscription Agreements are described more fully below under “Recent Developments — January 2006 Subscription Agreements.
     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 agreed to invest $150,000 in cash and committed to convert 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 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’s 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 investor’s right shall be his, her or its pro rata amount of the initial offering.
     In the event that the Company completes or enters into agreements to sell equity securities on or before February 15, 2006, investors in Series E Stock may convert the securities received under the Series E Subscription Agreement into such other equity securities as if the investor had invested the amount invested in such securities. The Company will provide the Series E investors with five business days notice of such right. The investor will be required to execute and deliver all such transaction documents as required by the Company in order to convert such securities into such other securities.
     Certain of the transactions in connection with the Series E Subscription Agreement were entered into by Mr. David Howitt, a director of the Company. Mr. Howitt invested $350,000 under the Series E Notes, and agreed to invest another $150,000 under the Series E Subscription Agreement. Mr. Howitt recused himself from the Company’s 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 under “Recent Developments — January 2006 Subscription Agreements.

January 2006 Convertible Promissory Notes
     On January 27 and on January 30, 2006, the Company entered into certain convertible promissory notes (the “January 2006 Convertible Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of One Million Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($1,375,000). The principal amount of the January 2006 Convertible Notes, together with accrued interest, shall be due and payable on demand by the holder thereof on the maturity date which is no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date such January 2006 Convertible Notes were issued (the “Original Maturity Date”), unless the January 2006 Convertible Notes are converted into common stock and warrants as described below. In the event that the January 2006 Convertible Notes are not converted by their Original Maturity Date, interest will begin to accrue at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.
     Each January 2006 Convertible Note shall convert into (i) such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount due under the January 2006 Convertible Note plus the amount of all accrued but unpaid interest on the January 2006 Convertible Note divided by $1.25, and (ii) warrants (the “January 2006 Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 75% of such number of shares of common stock. The January 2006 Convertible Notes shall so convert automatically (“Mandatory Conversion”) and with no action on the part of the holder on their Original Maturity Date to the extent that upon such conversion, the total number of shares of common stock then beneficially owned by such holder does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In the event that a portion of the principal and interest under the January 2006 Convertible Notes has not been converted on the first Mandatory Conversion (and the holder has not demanded payment), there will be subsequent mandatory conversions until all of the principal and interest has been converted, provided that at each such Mandatory Conversion the total number of shares of common stock then beneficially owned by such lender does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Prior to any such mandatory conversion the holder may at its option by writing to the Company, convert all or a portion of the principal and interest due under such holder’s January 2006 Convertible Notes into common stock and January 2006 Warrants provided that at each such conversion the total number of shares of common stock then beneficially owned by such holder does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s 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.
January 2006 Subscription Agreements
     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 Subscription Agreements are as follows. The Company and the investors under the 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 Subscription Agreement further provides 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 Subscription Agreement allows 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 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 investor’s portion of this follow-on right shall be such investor’s pro rata amount of the January 2006 Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the 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 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’s 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.

We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee but our full Board of Directors performs some of the same functions of an audit committee, including selecting the firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the annual financial statements, reviewing the independent auditors independence, the financial statements and the audit report, and reviewing the Company’s system of internal controls over financial reporting. The Company does not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.
Although the Company does not have an audit committee, the Board of Directors has determined that it does have a director qualifying as an audit committee financial expert sitting on the Board of Directors. Mr. Lotke meets the definition of audit committee financial expert adopted by the SEC. Mr. Lotke is independent under the definition of independence contained in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASD’s listing standards.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Committee and Compensation Report
     The Board of Directors appointed a Compensation Committee on September 13, 2005, consisting of Mr. Boehmer and Mr. Lotke, both of whom meet the requirements of non-employee directors under the rules under section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the requirements of outside directors under section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Compensation Committee does not yet have a written charter. The Compensation Committee will administer the Halo Technology Holdings 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee did not meet during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
     Since the Company did not have a compensation committee of the Board of Directors for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, the entire Board of Directors reviewed all forms of compensation provided to our executive officers, directors, consultants and employees including stock compensation. The Board of Directors had no existing policy with respect to the specific relationship of corporate performance to executive compensation. The Board of Directors has set executive compensation at what the Board of Directors considered to be the minimal levels necessary to retain and compensate the officers of the Company for their activities on the Company’s behalf.

Dividends
     We have not declared any cash dividends, nor do we intend to do so. We are not subject to any legal restrictions respecting the payment of dividends, except as provided under the rights and preferences of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Stock”) and the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock (the “Series D Stock”) which restrict, the payment of any dividend with respect to the Common Stock without paying dividends on the Series C Stock and Series D Stock, and which provide for a preference in the payment of the dividends on the Series C Stock and Series D Stock requiring such dividends to be paid before any dividend or distribution is made to the common stockholders. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock accrue at the rate of 6% of the stated value of the preferred stock per annum, and are payable in cash or in shares of Common Stock at the time of conversion of the Series C Stock. In addition, dividends may not be paid so as to render us insolvent. Dividends on the Series D Stock accrue at the rate of 13% of the stated value of the preferred stock per annum, and are payable in cash or in shares of Common Stock. Dividends on each share of Series D Stock shall be paid initially on March 31, 2006 and quarterly in arrears thereafter, in either cash or additional shares of Common Stock, at the election of the Company.
     Our dividend policy will be based on our cash resources and needs and it is anticipated that all available cash will be needed for our operations in the foreseeable future.

     In November 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and adopted the Warp Technology Holdings, Inc. 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”) as a means through which the Company and its subsidiaries may attract, retain and compensate employees and consultants. So that the appropriate incentive can be provided, the 2002 Plan provides for granting Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Stock Bonuses, or a combination of the foregoing. A total of 776,611 Shares have been reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2002 Plan plus Shares that are subject to: (a) issuance upon exercise of an option but cease to be subject to such option for any reason other than exercise of such option; (b) an award granted under the 2002 Plan but forfeited or repurchased by the Company at the original issue price; and (c) an Award that otherwise terminates without Shares being issued. The 2002 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may at any time terminate or amend the 2002 Plan in any respect, including without limitation amendment of any form of award agreement or instrument to be executed pursuant to the 2002 Plan; provided, however, that the Board of Directors will not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, amend the 2002 Plan in any manner that requires stockholder approval. Unless earlier terminated as provided under the 2002 Plan, the 2002 Plan will terminate November 2012. As of June 30, 2005, there were outstanding options to purchase 628,453 shares and 148,158 shares available for award under the 2002 Plan.
USE OF PROCEEDS
     The proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock offered by this prospectus are solely for the account of the selling stockholder. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of these shares.
ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK TO SELLING STOCKHOLDER
     On September 12, 2005, the Company entered into a merger agreement between Tesseract, TAC/Halo, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company’ and Platinum Equity, LLC (“Platinum”), holder of 100% of the Common Stock of Tesseract. On October 26, 2005, the parties to the merger agreement entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which TAC/Halo, Inc. assigned its rights under the merger agreement to TAC/Halo, LLC. Pursuant to this transaction, along with monetary consideration and a promissory note described earlier, Platinum received (i) 7,045,454 shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company; and (ii) a working capital adjustment of $1,000,000 that, because it was not paid by November 30, 2005, provides an option to Platinum to convert the working capital adjustment into up to 1,818,182 shares of Series D Preferred Stock.
     Under the Amendment, Platinum has agreed to return 909,091 shares of Series D Preferred Stock should the Company pay the full amount of the promissory note due to Platinum in the amount of $1,750,000. Upon return of the 909,091 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the Company intends to cancel such shares.

     The selling stockholder may sell all, some or none of its shares, and no estimate can be made of the aggregate number or percentage of shares that the selling stockholder will own upon completion of the offering to which this prospectus relates. Accordingly, the selling stockholder has been presumed to sell all of its shares offered pursuant to this prospectus for purposes of calculating the “Number of Shares Owned After Completion of Offering” in the table below. See “Plan of Distribution” below.
     We prepared this table based on the information supplied to us by the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder may have sold or transferred in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, some or all of its shares since the date on which the information in the table is presented. Information about the selling stockholders may change over time. Any changed information will be set forth in prospectus supplements.
     The shares offered by this prospectus may be offered from time to time by and for the account of the selling stockholder named below or by its permitted pledgees, donees, transferees, beneficiaries, distributees or successors-in-interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from the selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer.
     As of March 31, 2006, there were approximately 7,810,840 shares of our Common Stock outstanding.

     The selling stockholder represented to us at the time that it acquired the Series D Stock that it was acquiring the shares from us without any present intention of effecting a distribution of those shares. In recognition of the fact that the selling stockholder may want to sell its shares when it considers appropriate, we agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement (of which this prospectus is a part) to permit the public sales of the shares by the selling stockholder from time to time.
     We will bear substantially all costs and expenses incident to the offering and sale of the shares to the public including legal fees and disbursements of counsel, “blue sky” expenses, accounting fees and filing fees, but excluding any underwriting or brokerage commissions or similar charges. See “Plan of Distribution” below.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
     The selling stockholder, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
     The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:
      ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
      block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
      purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
      an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
      privately negotiated transactions;
      short sales;
      through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
      broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
      a combination of any such methods of sale; and
      any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
     The selling stockholder may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of the selling stockholder to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as a selling stockholder under this prospectus. The selling stockholder also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
     In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholder may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out its short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
     The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholder from the sale of the common stock offered by it will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. The selling stockholder reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any exercise of the warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the warrants.
     The selling stockholder also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
     The selling stockholder and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholder who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
     To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholder, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
     In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
     We have advised the selling stockholder that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholder and its affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholder for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholder may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
     We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.
     We have agreed with the selling stockholder to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) 24 months after the registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, (2) the date when all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (3) the date on which all of the shares covered by this prospectus may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
     We are registering shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.00001. We have authorized 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The holders of our Common Stock:
    subject to the rights of the holders of our Preferred Stock, have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our Board of Directors;
 
    are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of Common Stock in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs;
 
    do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and
 
    are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.
Preferred Stock
     We also have authorized 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Preferred Stock”). Our board of directors is authorized to issue shares of such Preferred Stock in series, to establish and change the number of shares constituting any series and to provide for and change the voting powers, designations, preferences, redemption prices, conversion rights and liquidation preferences of any such series, subject to limitations prescribed by law and our Articles of Incorporation.
     Currently, there are shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock outstanding. The Company had previously issued Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series B-2 Preferred Stock, but these series have been converted into Common Stock. The common shares being offered pursuant to this registration statement are shares issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock held by the selling stockholder or issuable upon the selling stockholder’s election to convert certain obligations of the Company and shares issuable in payment of dividends on the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by the selling stockholder or issuable upon the selling stockholder’s election to convert certain obligations of the Company.
     The Series D Stock has the following material terms:
The Series D Stock is 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. The “Series D Face Amount” equals $1.10 for each share of Series D Stock outstanding held by the selling stockholder or affiliates thereof. However, the ratio is subject to adjustment pursuant to the anti-dilution protections extended to the holders of Series D Stock. Under the anti-dilution provisions, in the event the Company issues, at any time while shares of Series D Stock are still outstanding, shares of Common Stock or any type of securities convertible or exchangeable for, or otherwise giving a right to acquire, shares of Common Stock, at a price below the Applicable Conversion Price, then the Applicable Conversion Price will be adjusted to the price per share equal to the price per share paid for such Common Stock in such subsequent financing. In addition to the full-ratchet protection, the Applicable Conversion Price will be equitably adjusted in the event of any stock split, stock dividend or similar change in the Company’s capital structure.
If the Company’s market capitalization based on the shares of Common Stock outstanding (including all shares of Common Stock underlying the Shares of Series D Stock on an as converted basis) exceeds $50,000,000, the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series D Stock are registered, and the Company has an average daily trading volume for 20 consecutive trading days of 100,000 shares per day, then the Company may require the holders of Series D Stock to convert the Series D Stock into Common Stock at the then Applicable Conversion Price.
The holders of shares of Series D Stock will be entitled to receive dividends, at a 13% annual rate, payable quarterly in arrears, 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
WARP Technology Holdings, Inc.
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of WARP Technology Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of WARP Technology Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Warp Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Organization, Merger, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
     Warp Technology Holdings, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation with its principal executive office in Greenwich, Connecticut.
     The Company is a holding company whose subsidiaries operate enterprise software and information technology businesses. In addition to holding its existing subsidiaries, the Company’s strategy is to pursue acquisitions of businesses which either complement the Company’s existing businesses or expand the segments in which the Company operates.
     On January 31, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of Gupta Technologies, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Gupta”). Gupta is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Gupta’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Gupta Technologies GmbH, a German corporation, Gupta Technologies Ltd., a U.K. company, and Gupta Technologies, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican company, have become indirect subsidiaries of the Company.
     Gupta develops, markets and supports software products that enable software programmers to create enterprise class applications, operating on either the Microsoft Windows or Linux operating systems that are used in large and small businesses and governmental entities around the world. Gupta’s products include a popular database application and a well-known set of application development tools. The relational database product allows companies to manage data closer to the customer, where capturing and organizing information is becoming increasingly critical. This product is designed for applications being deployed in situations where there are little or no technical resources to support and administer databases or applications.
     Gupta recently released its Linux product line. Compatible with its existing Microsoft Windows -based product line, the Linux line of products will enable developers to write one application to run in both Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems.
     Gupta has headquarters in California, and has regional office in Munich and sales offices in London and Paris.
     Warp Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, produce a series of application acceleration products that improve the speed and efficiency of transactions and information requests that are processed over the internet and intranet network systems. The subsidiaries’ suite of software products and technologies are designed to accelerate network applications, reduce network congestion, and reduce the cost of expensive server deployments for enterprises engaged in high volume network activities.
     On November 12, 2004, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K which disclosed the Company’s one hundred for one (100:1) reverse stock split. The reverse split became effective on the opening of business on November 18, 2004 and is reflected in the financial statements for all periods presented.
     6043577 Canada, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was established in January 2003 to acquire SpiderSoftware, Inc a Canadian Corporation. Effective January 13, 2003 the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary 6043577 Canada, Inc acquired SpiderSoftware, Inc.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WARP and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, (collectively the “Company”). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
     The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F-12


 

Property and Equipment
     Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the life of the underlying lease.
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. 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 Gupta’s software through its indirect sales channel, revenue is recognized when the distributor sells the software to its end-users, including value-added resellers. For licensing of software to independent software vendors, revenue is recognized upon shipment to the independent software vendors.
     Service revenue for maintenance contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. Revenue from training and other consulting services is recognized as the related services are performed.
Cost of Revenue
     Cost of revenue includes costs related to product and service revenue and amortization of acquired developed technology. Cost of product revenue includes material, packaging, shipping, and other production costs. Cost of service revenue includes salaries, benefits, and overhead costs associated with employees providing maintenance and technical support, training, and consulting services. Third-party consultant fees are also included in cost of service revenue.
Shipping and Handling Costs
     Costs to ship products from the Company’s warehouse facilities to customers are recorded as a component of cost of revenues in the consolidated statement of income.
Reclassification.
     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2004 financial statements to conform to the 2005 presentation.
Cash Equivalents
     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
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. The Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangibles and goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers 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.

F-13


 

     When the Company determines 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, the company records an impairment charge. The Company measures 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. As of June 30, 2005 the Company determined that the goodwill and intangible assets related to the acquisition of Spider Software were impaired and wrote off $3,956,211. Intangible assets, subject to amortization, are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of three to ten years.
Concentration of Risk
Cash
     The company maintains cash balances at several banks. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.
Accounts Receivable
     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company performs on going credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit issues. Historically, such loses have been within management’s expectations.
Product Development Costs
     Product development costs incurred in the process of developing product improvements and enhancements or new products are charged to expense as incurred. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on the Company’s product development process, technological feasibility is established upon the completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the Company between the completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release has been insignificant.
Income Taxes
     The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized with respect to the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial statement purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.
Foreign Currency
     The functional currency of the Company’s international subsidiaries is the local currency. The financial statements of these subsidiaries are translated to United States dollars using period-end rates of exchanges for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchanges for the period for revenues and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (losses) as a component of stockholders’ equity. Net gain and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in operations and were not significant during the periods presented.
Deferred Financing Costs
     Deferred financing costs, which are mainly costs associated with the Company’s Senior Note and the Company’s Subordinated Note, are amortized over the term of the notes on a straight-line basis.
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. The dilutive effect of preferred stock, warrants and options convertible into an aggregate of approximately 33,880,908 and 418,520 of common shares as of

F-14


 

June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively, are not included as the inclusion of such would be anti-dilutive for all periods presented.
Stock-Based Compensation
     The Company uses the intrinsic value method to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and have adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure.” Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for fixed stock option grants. Had compensation costs for the Company’s stock option grants been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under these plans in accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss and loss per share would have been reduced to the proforma amounts as follows:
                 
    Year Ended     Year Ended  
    June 30, 2005     June 30, 2004  
Net loss, as reported
  $ (15,372,939 )   $ (11,070,305 )
Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net loss
    454,000       3,203,483  
Deduct: Stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value method for all awards
    (828,173 )     (3,702,564 )
 
           
Net loss, pro forma
    (15,747,112 )     (11,569,386 )
Beneficial conversion and preferred dividends
    (7,510,590 )     (1,623,046 )
 
           
Net loss attributable to common stockholders—Proforma
  $ (23,257,712 )   $ (13,192,432 )
 
           
Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, as reported
  $ (11.97 )   $ (16.58 )
 
           
Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders pro forma
  $ (12.16 )   $ (17.23 )
 
           
     Pro forma information regarding net loss is required by SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if Warp had accounted for its employees’ stock options under the fair value method provided by this statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
                 
    Year Ended     Year Ended  
    June 30, 2005     June 30, 2004  
Expected life
         3 years      3 years
Risk-fee interest rate
    3.00 %     2.13 %
Expected volatility
    177.25 %     183 %
Dividend yield
    0 %     0 %
     Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Company’s employee stock has characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     For financial statement instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, subordinated note, senior note, the amount due to Isis and accounts payable, the carrying amount approximated fair value because of their short maturity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
     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. SFAS No. 123 (R) will be effective for the interim period beginning January 1, 2006. The impact on this new standard, if it had been in effect on the net loss and related per share amounts of our years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 is disclosed above in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Stock Based Compensation. We believe the adoption will have an effect on our results of operations.

F-15


 

     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting for Nonmonetary transactions.” The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This statement shall be applied prospectively and is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after the date of issuance. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a significant impact on the Company’s overall results of operations or financial position.
     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 the Company for fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have an impact on the Company’s overall results of operations or financial position.

Common and Preferred Stock
     In January 2005, the Company issued 889 shares of common stock to Mr. Malcolm Coster pursuant to the terms and conditions of his separation agreement as compensation for services rendered by Mr. Coster to the Company. The Company recorded $3,556 of non-cash compensation related to this stock issuance.

F-16


 

     In January, 2005, the Company issued 3,636 shares of common stock to CIV, a firm which had consulted to the Company, for services rendered. The Company recorded $15,817 of non-cash compensation related to this stock issuance.
     In January, 2005, the Company issued 20,000 shares of common stock and warrants to acquire 1,500 shares of Common Stock to Darien Corporation to settled all outstanding claims under a prior Fee Agreement. Warrants have $1.00 per share exercise price, cashless exercise feature and are exercisable over 5 years. The Company recorded an expense of $86,000 related to this settlement.
     On August 4, 2004, the Company entered into a Series B-2 Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Purchase Agreement related to the sale of 1,600 shares (the “Series B-2 Preferred Shares”) of the Company’s authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, $0.00001 par value per share, designated Series B-2 Preferred Stock (the “Series B-2 Preferred Stock”) at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, and warrants, exercisable over five (5) years, to purchase an aggregate of 1,600 shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock (the “Warrants” and together with the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, collectively, the “Securities”) to investors. The aggregate purchase price for the Securities was $1,600,000, of which $1,474,500 was received by December 31,2004 and the remainder of $125,500 was received by the Company in January 2005. The Company incurred approximately $20,000 in dividends for the year ended June 30, 2005 to the Series B-2 shareholders. The number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion shall be equal to the Series B-2 Face Amount, which is initially equal to the per share purchase price of $1,000, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, divided by the conversion price, which was initially set at $5.00. Under certain anti-dilution protection rights of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, the conversion price will adjust from time to time if the Company issues any shares of Common Stock, or options, warrants, or other securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, at a purchase price below $5.00 per share, and will also be adjusted for any stock splits or similar corporate actions. Under the initial conversion price, each share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock is convertible into 200 shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, the Company recorded approximately $539,000 as beneficial conversion relating to this transaction because the fair market value of the common stock was greater than the conversion price. In January, 2005, in connection with the Series C financing, the conversion price of the Series B-2 stock was reduced from $5 to $2, and the Company recorded a stock dividend to the Series B-2 holders valued at approximately $2,280,000. In addition on January 31, 2005 all of the Series B-2 shareholders converted all of their outstanding shares into common stock.
     On April 22, 2004 the Company approved the issuance of 14,981 shares of common stock to employees. In connection with this issuance the Company recorded compensation of approximately $195,000.
     On March 29, 2004, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock to Noah Clark as consideration for financial consulting services beginning April 1, 2004, to be provided by Mr. Clark pursuant to the Consulting Agreement dated March 26, 2004 between the Company and Mr. Clark (the “Consulting Agreement”).The Company recognized approximately $950,000 of expense relating to this agreement. The shares issued to Mr. Clark were restricted shares on the date of issuance. On April 26, 2004, the Company filed an Amendment Number 1 to a Registration Statement on Form S-2 originally filed on April 4, 2004 (hereinafter referred to as the “April Form S-2”), which covered the shares of common stock issued to Mr. Clark under his consulting agreement. On April 29, 2004, the April Form S-2 was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     On March 12, 2004, the Company approved the issuance of 976 shares of common stock to Bradley L. Steere, Esq. as consideration for legal services rendered to the Company in the amount of approximately $18,500.
     On March 12, 2004, the Company approved the issuance of 326 shares of common stock to Mr. Wesley Ramjeet as consideration for professional accounting services rendered to the Company in the amount of approximately $5,900.
     On March 12, 2004, the Company approved the issuance of 5,555 shares of common stock to Mr. Malcolm Coster pursuant to the terms and conditions of his Employment Contract as compensation for services rendered by Mr. Coster to the Company in the amount of approximately $111,000 as its interim Chief Executive Officer.
     In fiscal 2005 and 2004, several holders of the preferred stock of 6043577 Canada, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company converted their preferred stock to shares of the Company’s common stock.

     On February 10, 2004, the Company completed an offering of 1,058 shares of Series B 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “B Shares”) with gross proceeds to the Company from the sales equaling $1,058,000. The B Shares had a purchase price of $1,000.00 per share. The B Shares have a cumulative dividend of 10% per year, which is payable in cash or stock at the time of conversion at the election of the Company.

B Shares to common shares. The exercise price of the warrants is $33.00 per share of common stock and the exercise price is only payable with cash. Under certain anti-dilution protection rights of the Series B Preferred Stock, the conversion price will adjust from time to time if the Company issues any shares of Common Stock, or options, warrants, or other securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, at a purchase price below the conversion price then in effect. In August 2004, the Company completed its first closing of the Series B-2 offering at an effective price of $5.00 per common share. As a result of the Series B-2 financing, the conversion price of the Series B Stock was reduced from $18.00 to $5.00, and the Company recorded a stock dividend to the Series B shareholders for approximately 121,290 shares of common stock valued at approximately $606,000. In January 2005 in connection with the Series C financing, the conversion price of all Series B stock was reduced from $5 to $3, and the Company recorded a dividend to the Series B holders of approximately $2,207,000. In addition, on January 31, 2005 all of the Series B holders converted all of their Series B stock, accrued dividend and penalties to common stock.
     On February 10, 2004, the Company closed an offering of 16,000 restricted shares of its common stock and 8,000 warrants to purchase common stock in a private transaction for gross proceeds of $288,000 in cash.

The Company paid approximately $28,000 in placement agent fees relating to this private placement.
     In 2004, holders of 1,766.62 shares of the Company’s Series B 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“B Shares”) converted their B Shares into shares of the Company’s common stock. Such conversions resulted in the issuance of 98,145 shares of common stock. The 98,145 common shares issued on the conversions is derived from the B Shares’ $18 conversion price. In connection with the conversion an additional 3,305 shares were issued as payment of the B Shares 10% cumulative dividend, and 4,089 shares were issued as payment of a 6% penalty for the failure by the Company to cause its March Form S-2 to be declared effective in a timely manner.
     In December 2003, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock to Blue & Gold Enterprises LLC (“Blue & Gold”) as consideration for financial consulting services provided by Mr. Steven Antebi pursuant to the Consulting Agreement dated December 2003 between the Company and Mr. Antebi. The shares issued to Mr. Antebi were restricted shares on the date of issuance. The April Form S-2, declared effective on April 29, 2004, registered the shares of common stock issued to Mr. Antebi under his consulting agreement. In connection with this agreement the Company recorded approximately $950,000 as non-cash compensation.
     On November 4, 2003, the Company completed an offering of 2,647.78 shares of Series B 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “B Shares”) with gross proceeds to the Company from the sale equaling $2,647,780. The B Shares had a cumulative dividend of 10% per year, which is payable in cash or stock at the time of conversion. The B Share subscribers also received warrants to purchase a number of common shares equal to 50% of the common shares such subscriber would receive upon the conversion of their B Shares to common shares. The exercise price of the warrants was $33.00 per share of common stock. The Company was required to pay a penalty equivalent to 6% of the common shares underlying the B Shares sold in this offering because it was not able to get its registration statement effective by the date in the purchase agreement. Under certain anti-dilution protection rights of the Series B Preferred Stock, the conversion price will adjust from time to time if the Company issues any shares of Common Stock, or options, warrants, or other securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, at a purchase price below the conversion price then in effect. In August 2004, the Company completed its first closing of the Series B-2 offering at an effective price of $5.00 per common share. As a result of the Series B-2 financing, the conversion price of the Series B Stock was reduced from $18.00 to $5.00, and the Company recorded a stock dividend to the Series B shareholders for approximately 290,770 shares of common stock valued at approximately $1,499,000.
     On September 30, 2003, the Company completed an offering of 975,940 shares of its Series A 8% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “A Shares”) with gross proceeds to the Company from the sale equaling $975,940. Pursuant to a “most favored nation” provision of the A Shares offering, the holders of the A Shares were entitled to receive the better terms of any offering that was completed subsequent to the closing of the A Shares offering. As a result, the Company has cancelled all 975,940 A Shares which were to be issued and has instead issued 975.94 B Shares to the A Share subscribers. The A Share subscribers also received warrants with the same terms as the B Share subscribers. The conversion to common stock of all the B Shares issued to the A Share subscribers resulted in the Company issuing approximately 54,220 shares of common stock to the A Share subscribers. Pursuant to a registration rights agreement between the Company and the B Share subscribers, the Company was obligated to register the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the B Shares within 45 days of issuance of the B Shares. This registration rights agreement contained a penalty provision that required the Company to issue the number of shares of common stock equal to 2% of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the B Shares for each 30-day period until such shares were registered. When the March 2004 Form S-2 was declared effective, the Company was obligated to issue an aggregate of 12,427 shares of common stock pursuant to this penalty provision. Exercise of all the warrants held by the A Share subscribers will result in the issuance of approximately

F-18


 

27,110 shares of common stock to the A Share subscribers. The Company recorded approximately $271,000 as beneficial conversion relating to this transaction because the fair market value of the common stock was greater than the conversion price. The March 2004 Form S-2, declared effective on March 31, 2004, covered the common shares issuable upon the conversion of the B Shares and warrants held by the A Share subscribers. The Company recorded approximately $60,000 for fees relating to this private placement.

Note 6. Gupta Technologies, LLC Acquisition
     On January 31, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of Gupta. The acquisition of Gupta (the “Acquisition”) was made pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and Gupta Holdings, LLC (the “Seller”). The Board of Directors agreed to purchase Gupta because it fit the profile of the type of companies that is necessary for the Company to create a sustainable, profitable company. The Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2005 includes the results of operations of Gupta for five months beginning as of February 1, 2005.
     Under the Purchase Agreement, the total purchase price was $21,000,000, of which the Company delivered $15,750,000 in cash on or before the closing. The remainder of the purchase price was paid in equity and debt securities issued or provided by the Company with the terms described below.
     In order to raise funds to pay the cash portion of the purchase price for Gupta, and in order to provide the non-cash portion of the purchase price, the Company entered into certain financing agreements described herein. An Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation was necessary to allow the Company to reserve for issuance of sufficient shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion or exercise of the securities sold by the Company pursuant to the financing agreements.

     The purchase price for Gupta was $21 million, plus transaction costs of $1,325,000, the purchase price allocation is as follows:

     The Company’s management and the Board of directors believes that the purchase of Gupta that resulted in approximately $7,055,000 of goodwill is justified because of Gupta’s position in the marketplace and expected increased cash flows to the Company. The company expects all of the goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes.

Note 8. Series C Subscription Agreement.
     On January 31, 2005, the Company entered into certain Series C Subscription Agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreement”), with the Investors. The Subscription Agreement has the following material terms:
    An aggregate of $8,475,000 of Series C Notes were sold to Investors under the Subscription Agreement.
 
    Most of the proceeds of the sale of the Series C Notes were used to fund a portion of the purchase price in the Gupta acquisition and the remainder of the proceeds were used for working capital purposes.
 
    The Series C Notes were unsecured and bore interest at the rate of 6% per annum.
 
    The Series C Notes were converted into a new series of Preferred Stock, the “Series C Stock” with a par value of $.00001 per share, and Warrants to acquire Common Stock.
 
    On March 31, 2005, all amounts due under the Series C Notes (principal and interest) automatically converted into (i) 8,559,750 shares of Series C Stock, and (ii) Warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire 8,559,750 shares of Common

F-22


 

      Stock. The Company reserved for issuance 17,119,500 shares of Common stock to cover those shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Stock and exercise of the Warrants.
 
    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 Company’s 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 has accrued $647,500 for this penalty.
     On March 31, 2005, all amounts due under the Series C Notes (principal and interest) automatically converted into (i) 8,559,750 shares of Series C Stock, and (ii) Warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire 8,559,750 shares of Common Stock, and on April 4, 2005, under the Subscription Agreement, the Company issued an additional 3,000,000 shares of Series C Stock, and Warrants to acquire an additional 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock for $3,000,000 in cash.
     The Series C Stock which the Investors received upon conversion of their Series C Notes, has the following material terms:
    The Series C Stock is convertible into Common Stock, at the option of the holder, at a conversion price (the “Applicable Conversion Price”) that is initially equal to $1.00. Accordingly, the Series C Stock is convertible into Common Stock at a one to one (1:1) ratio. However, the ratio is subject to adjustment pursuant to the anti-dilution protections extended to the holders of Series C Stock. Under the anti-dilution provisions, in the event the Company issues, at any time while shares of Series C 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. This full-ratchet anti-dilution protection on the Series C Stock will also be extended to any warrants received in connection with the Subscription Agreement that are outstanding at such time. In addition to the full-ratchet protection, the Applicable Conversion Price will be equitably adjusted in the event of any stock split, stock dividend or similar change in the Company’s capital structure.
 
    If the Company’s market capitalization based on the shares of Common Stock outstanding (including all shares of Common Stock underlying the Shares of Series C Stock on an as converted basis) exceeds $50,000,000, the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series C 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 C Stock to convert the Series C Stock into Common Stock at the then Applicable Conversion Price.
 
    The holders of shares of Series C Stock will be entitled to receive dividends, at a 6% annual rate, payable quarterly in arrears, 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 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. As of June 30, 2005 the Company has accrued $212,897 for dividends.
 
    Any unconverted and non-redeemed Shares of Series C Stock outstanding on the third anniversary of the initial issuance of the Series C Stock, will be automatically redeemed on that date, in cash, at $1.00 per share, 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).
The Warrants issued to the Investors upon conversion of their Series C Notes, allow the Investors to purchase an aggregate of 8,559,750 shares of Common Stock. The Warrants have an exercise price of $1.25 per share. The Warrants are exercisable over a five-year term.
Note 9. Bridge Notes.
     In October, 2004, December, 2004 and January 2005, the Company raised funds from investors in order to make certain payments, totaling $2,250,000 to the Seller, toward the purchase price of Gupta. In exchange for such investment the Company issued certain promissory notes (the “Bridge Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $2,250,000.
     The Bridge Notes had the following material terms:

F-23


 

    Interest accrues at the annual rate of 12%.
 
    Contemporaneously with the closing of the Gupta Purchase Agreement, the Bridge Notes were automatically converted into Series C Notes.
 
    An aggregate of $2,409,253 of Series C Notes were issued upon conversion of the principal and accrued interest on the Bridge Notes.
 
    In accordance with their terms, these Series C Notes converted into 2,433,345 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Warrants to acquire 2,433,345 shares of Common Stock. These warrants (the “Bridge Warrants”) have an exercise price of $1.25 per share and are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance. The Company reserved sufficient common stock to issue upon conversion of these Series C shares and exercise of the Bridge Warrants.
Note 10. Senior Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement.
     On January 31, 2005, the Company entered into that certain Senior Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Senior Note Agreement”), by and among the Company and the Purchasers (the “Senior Noteholders”) identified therein.
     The Senior Note Agreement has the following material terms:
    Senior Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $6,825,000 were sold.
 
    The Senior Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 10%, with interest payments due quarterly in arrears.
 
    Most of the proceeds of the sale of the Senior Notes was used to fund a portion of the purchase price in the Gupta acquisition and the remainder of the proceeds was used for working capital purposes.
 
    The Senior Notes are due on July 31, 2005. The Senior Notes are not convertible.
 
    The Senior Notes are secured by a first priority security interest in the assets of the Company, including the equity interests of the Company in Gupta and the Company’s other subsidiaries.
     Under the Senior Note Agreement the Senior Noteholders received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,670,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Senior Lender Warrants”). These warrants have an exercise price of $1.25, and are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance. The proceeds from the Senior Notes and the detachable warrants were allocated to the fair value of the warrants and the balance to the Senior Notes. Based on the fair market value, $2,269,500 was allocated to the warrants and the remainder of $4,556,500 was allocated to the Senior Notes. The discount to the note will be accreted over 6 months. For the period ended June 30, 2005, $1,891,250 was accreted and charged to interest expense.
     In August 2005 the Company refinanced this debt with a long term credit facility from Fortress Credit Corp. (See Note 18 Subsequent Events) Accordingly, the Company has classified this debt as long-term in accordance with SFAS No. 6.
Note 11. Subordinated Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement.
     On January 31, 2005, the Company entered into that certain Subordinated Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Subordinated Note Agreement”) by and among the Company and the Purchasers (the “Subordinated Noteholders”) identified therein.
     The Subordinated Note Agreement has the following material terms:
    Subordinated Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000 were issued of which $2,500,000 was sold for cash and $1,500,000 was issued to the Seller under the Purchase Agreement (the “Gupta Note”).
 
    The Subordinated Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 10%, with interest payments due quarterly in arrears. Interest is payable in registered shares of Common Stock of the Company, provided that until such shares are registered, interest shall be payable in cash.
 
    Most of the proceeds of the sale of the Subordinated Notes was used to fund a portion of the purchase price in the Gupta acquisition and the remainder of the proceeds was used for working capital purposes.

F-24


 

    The Subordinated Notes are due on January 31, 2007, other than the Gupta Note, which is due on January 31, 2006.
 
    The Subordinated Notes are secured by a security interest in the assets of the Company, including the equity interests of the Company in Gupta and the Company’s other subsidiaries, subordinated only to the security interest granted to secure the Senior Notes.
 
    The Subordinated Noteholders have the right to convert all principal amounts due under the Subordinated Notes—other than the Gupta Note which is not convertible—into such number of Shares of Common Stock equal to the principal amount due under the Subordinated Notes divided by $1.00. Accordingly, an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock is issuable upon conversion of the Subordinated Notes.
 
    Under the Subordinated Note Agreement, the Subordinated Noteholders—other than the holder of the Gupta Note—also received warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Subordinated Lender Warrants”). The Warrants will have an exercise price of $1.25, and will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance. The proceeds from the Subordinated Note and the detachable warrants were allocated to the fair value of the warrants and the balance to the Senior Notes. Based on the fair market value, $2,125,000 was allocated to the warrants and the remainder of $375,000 was allocated to the Senior Notes. The discount to the note will be accreted over 24 months. For the period ended June 30, 2005 $442,708 was accreted and charged to interest expense.
     In August 2005 the Company refinanced the $1,500,000 Gupta Note due January 31, 2006 with a long term credit facility from Fortress Credit Corp. (See Note 18—Subsequent Events) Accordingly, the Company has classified this debt as long-term in accordance with SFAS No. 6.
Note 12. 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 has accrued $386,000.
Note 13. Separation Agreement.
     On March 3, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) with Gus Bottazzi related to Mr. Bottazzi’s resignation as an officer and director of the Company. Under the Separation Agreement, the Company committed to issue to Mr. Bottazzi 200,000 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock. In connection with this separation agreement the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $500,000.

Note 14. Income Taxes
     The income tax effects of significant items, comprising the Company’s net deferred tax assets and liabilities, are as follows:
                 
    June 30,  
    2005     2004  
    (In thousands)  
Deferred tax liabilities:
               
Differences between book and tax basis of goodwill
  $ 41        
 
           
Deferred tax assets:
               
Operating loss carryforwards
  $ 13,211     $ 8,740  
 
           
Net deferred tax asset
  $ 13,170     $ 8,740  
 
           
Valuation allowance
  $ 13,170     $ 8,740  
 
           
     The Company has foreign subsidiaries based in the United Kingdom, Canada and Germany and is responsible for paying certain foreign income taxes. As a result, there is an income tax provision of $97,945 and $0 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
     For the U.S. operations the difference between the federal statutory tax rate of 40% and the effective rate of 0% reflected in the accompanying financial statements is attributable to no tax benefit being recorded for the future utilization of the net operating loss carry forward.
     The Company has a U.S. Federal net operating loss carry forward of approximately $33,028,000 as of June 30, 2005, which may be used to reduce taxable income in future years. These NOL’s will expire in the year 2020 through 2025. The deferred tax asset primarily resulting from net operating losses was approximately $13,170,000 at June 30, 2005 and $8,740,000 at June 30, 2004. 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, some portion of the net operating loss carryforward will be subject to further limitation pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings.
     On May 6, 2005, the Company received notice of a demand for arbitration before the American Arbitration Association from attorneys representing Michael Liss, a former employee of the Company who had the title Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Liss disputes the circumstances surrounding the termination of his employment and claims that he is entitled to severance benefits, other compensation and damages totaling approximately $187,000 in addition to attorneys fees and statutory damages. The Company believes that Mr. Liss’s claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself. The Company has accrued $50,000 for legal cost related to this matter.
Leases
     Rent expense amounted to approximately $230,000 and $201,000 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Note 18. Geographic Information
     The Company sells its products to customers primarily through direct sales to independent software vendors and end-users in North America and through distributors and value added resellers in the rest of the world. For the years ended June 30 2005 and 2004, the geographic breakdown of revenues was as follows:
                         
    Year ended June 30, 2005  
    Product     Service     Total

     Many of Gupta’s ISVs, VARs and end users place their orders through distributors. A relatively small number of distributors have accounted for a significant percentage of Gupta’s revenues. One of Gupta’s distributors, accounted for 22% of Gupta’s revenue for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The same distributor accounted for 23% of Gupta’s accounts receivable at June 30, 2005. In addition, Gupta had one customer which accounted for 15% of the Company’s revenue for the year ended June 30, 2005. The loss of this Gupta distributor, or this customer, unless it was offset by the attraction of sufficient new customers, could have a material adverse impact on the business of Gupta, and therefore, the business of the Company as a whole.
Note 19. Employee Benefit Plan
     The Company has a 401(k) plan, which covers substantially all employees. Participants in the plan may contribute a percentage of compensation, but not in excess of the maximum allowed under the Internal Revenue Code. The plan provides for matching contributions. The 401(k) expense for the year ended June 30, 2005 was $34,837.
Note 20. Related Party Transactions.
     The Company has certain contractual relationships with ISIS which were entered into in connection with the Company’s Series B-2 Preferred Stock financing (as previously described in, and included as exhibits to, the Company’s Form 8-K dated August 4, 2004). In addition, certain individuals are members of ISIS and directors or officers of the Company.
     ISIS is a limited liability company whose managing members are Rodney A. Bienvenu, Jr. (“Bienvenu”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, and Ernest C. Mysogland (“Mysogland”), the Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of the Company. ISIS is the managing member of ISIS Acquisition Partners II LLC (“IAP II”).

In addition, pursuant to that certain Stockholders Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2004, between and among the

F-27


 

Company, the holders of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock and such other Stockholders as named therein (the “Stockholders Agreement”), IAP II and other Series B-2 Stockholders have certain rights to designate directors of the Company. Further, ISIS and the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2004, pursuant to which the Company will pay ISIS for services requested of ISIS from time to time, including, without limitation, research services, at ISIS’s regular rates or at the cost incurred by ISIS to provide such services, and will reimburse ISIS for any costs incurred by ISIS on behalf of the Company.
     Furthermore, in October, 2004, Company and ISIS entered into that certain Purchase Agreement Assignment and Assumption (the “Assignment”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the rights and assumed all of the liabilities of the Purchaser under that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement to acquire Gupta Technologies, LLC.
     Under the Assignment, the Company agreed to repay ISIS (or its assignees), for the $1,000,000 ISIS paid to the Seller in October, 2004. Furthermore, upon the acquisition of Gupta, in consideration of the assignment, and services in connection with due diligence, financing contacts and structure, for its efforts in negotiating the terms of the acquisition (including the specific right to assign the Purchase Agreement to the Company), and undertaking the initial obligation regarding the purchase of Gupta, the Company shall pay ISIS and its investors, as allocated by ISIS, a transaction fee equal to $1,250,000, payable either in cash or, at the election of ISIS, in Series B-2 securities, or senior debt or senior equity issued in connection with the Gupta financing. As of June 30, 2005 this transaction fee was not paid to ISIS and is shown on the balance sheet as a due to ISIS. The Company will also reimburse ISIS for any amounts it has incurred in connection with the negotiation and consummation of the transaction. In addition, the Company also owed approximately $44,000 to Isis for various expenses paid by Isis on behalf of the Company.
     One of the Senior Noteholders under the Senior Note Agreement described above in Note 10, was B/T Investors, a general partnership. B/T Investors lent the Company a total of $975,000 under the Senior Note Agreement, and received Senior Notes in that principal amount. One of the partners in B/T Investors is Brian J. Sisko who is now the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. B/T Investors assigned its Senior Notes to its various partners, and Mr. Sisko received a Senior Note in the principal amount of $100,000. This note held by Mr Sisko was paid off in August, 2005 when the Company refinanced its debt when it entered into the long term credit facility with Fortress Credit Corp.
Note 21. Subsequent Events
Acquisition of Kenosia Corporation “Kenosia”
     On July 6, 2005 the Company purchased all of the stock of Kenosia Corporation from Bristol Technology, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $1,800,000 (net of working capital adjustment), 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 was made on September 1, 2005 and the second one is due January 31, 2006.
     The Company’s management and the Board of directors believes that the purchase of Kenosia will result in approximately $500,000 of goodwill and is justified because of Kenosia’s position in the marketplace and expected increased cash flows to the Company. The company expects all of the goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes.
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.

F-28


 

    The maximum amount of loans under Tranche A of the credit facility is $10,000,000. The purpose of amounts borrowed under Tranche A is to refinance certain of the Company’s existing debt and to pay certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing under the Credit Agreement.
 
    The maximum amount of loans under Tranche B of the credit facility is $15,000,000. Amounts borrowed under Tranche B may be used only to partially fund the acquisition by the Company of one or more companies, the acquisition costs related thereto, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement and to finance an agreed amount of working capital for the companies being acquired.
 
    The maximum amount of loans under Tranche C of the credit facility is $25,000,000. Amounts borrowed under Tranche C may be used only to partially fund the acquisition by the Company of one or more publicly-traded companies, the acquisition costs related thereto, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement and to finance an agreed amount of working capital for the companies being acquired.
 
    The Company has borrowed $10,000,000 under Tranche A of the credit facility to pay-off its existing senior indebtedness, in the aggregate principal amount of $6,825,000, plus accrued interest thereon, as well as certain existing subordinated indebtedness, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000. In addition, amounts borrowed under this Tranche A were used to pay certain closing costs, including the Lender’s legal fees, commitment fees, and other costs and expenses under the Credit Agreement.
 
    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.
 
    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 eighteen months after the closing date of the Credit Agreement, with the complete Loan to be repaid in full no later than the Maturity Date which is four years after the closing.
 
    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. In the event the Company completes further acquisitions, the Company and the Agent and lenders will agree upon modifications to the financial covenants to reflect the changes to the Company’s consolidated assets, liabilities, and expected results of operations in amounts to be mutually agreed to by the parties.

F-29


 

    The Company’s 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 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.
 
    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.
Lease of Office Space for Principal Executive Offices
     The Company entered into a lease for office space in Greenwich, Connecticut, where the Company has relocated its principal executive offices.
     The lease commenced on August 29, 2005 and expires on August 14, 2009. Under the terms of the lease, the Company will pay an aggregate rent over the term of the lease of $313,362.
Agreements to Acquire Five Software Companies
     On September 12, 2005, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Platinum Equity, LLC (the “David/ProfitKey Seller”), EnergyTRACS Acquisition Corp. (the “Foresight Seller”) and Milgo Holdings,

The Company expects to raise the funds to close the Acquisition and the Merger described below from lenders under its existing Credit Agreement, and from equity investors.
     Platinum Equity, LLC is a Seller under the Purchase Agreement. An affiliate of Platinum Equity, Gupta Holdings, LLC, owns 2,020,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock of the Company, which is convertible into 2,020,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, and warrants to acquire 2,312,336 shares of Common Stock. On an as converted basis, the shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by Gupta Holdings, LLC would represent approximately 10% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.
     On September 12, 2005, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with TAC/Halo, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), Tesseract Corporation (“Tesseract”) and Platinum Equity, LLC (“Seller”).

The number of shares and terms of the Series D Preferred Stock have not yet been agreed upon.
     In connection with the issuance of Series D Preferred Stock to Tesseract, the Company has agreed to enter into a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which the Company agrees to register the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock. This agreement will be in a form to be agreed upon by the Company and the Seller.
Promissory Note and Warrant
     On September 20, 2005, the Company entered into a Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) payable to the order of DCI Master LDC or its affiliates. Interest accrues under the Note at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The principal amount of the Note, together with accrued interest, is due and payable 90 days after the date it was entered into, December 19, 2005, unless the Note is converted into debt or equity securities of the Company in the Company’s next financing involving sales by the Company of a class of its preferred stock or convertible debt securities, or any other similar or equivalent financing transaction. The terms of such conversion have not yet been determined.
     Also on September 20, 2005, the Company issued to DCI Master LDC a Warrant to Purchase 181,818 Shares of Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share of the Company. The Warrant was issued in connection with the 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.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Reclassification.

F-39


 

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2004 financial statements to conform to the 2005 presentation.
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. The dilutive effect of preferred stock, warrants and options convertible into an aggregate of approximately 46,642,643 and 2,049,170 of common shares as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, are not included as the inclusion of such would be anti-dilutive for all periods presented.
Stock-Based Compensation
     The Company uses the intrinsic value method to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and have adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure.” Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for fixed stock option grants. Had compensation costs for the Company’s stock option grants been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under these plans in accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss and loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts as follows:
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended  
    December 31,     December 31,  
    2005     2004     2005     2004  
Net loss, as reported
  $ (5,168,216 )   $ (489,534 )   $ (7,779,234 )   $ (1,642,598 )
Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net loss
    82,070       74,500       129,570       359,000  
Deduct: Stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value method for all awards
    (1,163,880 )     (77,480 )     (1,336,120 )     (370,210 )
 
                       
Net loss, pro forma

Beneficial conversion and preferred dividends
    (373,379 )     (472,057 )     (593,558 )     (2,810,465 )
 
                       
Net loss attributable to common stockholders—Pro forma
  $ (6,623,405 )   $ (964,571 )   $ (9,579,342 )   $ (4,464,273 )
Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, as reported
  $ (1.53 )   $ (0.99 )   $ (2.44 )   $ (4.59 )
Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders pro forma
  $ (1.82 )   $ (0.99 )   $ (2.80 )   $ (4.60 )
     Pro forma information regarding net loss is required by SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if Warp had accounted for its employees’ stock options under the fair value method provided by this statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Company’s employee stock has characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

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. SFAS No. 123 (R) will be effective for the period beginning January 1, 2006. The impact on this new standard, if it had been in effect on the net loss and related per share amounts of our three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 is disclosed above in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-Stock Based Compensation. We believe the adoption will have an effect on our results of operations.
     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 123R, SAB 107 provides the views of the Staff regarding the interaction between SFAS 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations and, among other things, provide the Staff’s views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. The Company intends to follow the interpretative guidance on share-based payment set forth in SAB 107 during the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123R.

     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.

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.

Note 7. 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.

F-47


 

    The maximum amount of loans under Tranche A of the credit facility is $10,000,000. The purpose of amounts borrowed under Tranche A is to refinance certain of the Company’s existing debt and to pay certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing under the Credit Agreement.
 
    The maximum amount of loans under Tranche B of the credit facility is $15,000,000. Amounts borrowed under Tranche B may be used only to partially fund the acquisition by the Company of one or more companies, the acquisition costs related thereto, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement and to finance an agreed amount of working capital for the companies being acquired.
 
    The maximum amount of loans under Tranche C of the credit facility is $25,000,000. Amounts borrowed under Tranche C may be used only to partially fund the acquisition by the Company of one or more publicly-traded companies, the acquisition costs related thereto, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement and to finance an agreed amount of working capital for the companies being acquired.
 
    The Company has borrowed $10,000,000 under Tranche A of the credit facility to pay-off its existing senior indebtedness, in the aggregate principal amount of $6,825,000, plus accrued interest thereon, as well as certain existing subordinated indebtedness, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000. In addition, amounts borrowed under this Tranche A were used to pay certain closing costs, including the Lender’s legal fees, commitment fees, and other costs and expenses under the Credit Agreement amounting to $1,083,872. These closing costs have been deferred, and will be amortized over 4 years. $67,743 and $112,904 was amortized for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively. 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 December 31, 2005, the Company accrued and expensed $279,136 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 eighteen months after the closing date of the Credit Agreement, with the complete Loan to be repaid in full no later than the Maturity Date which is four years after the closing.
 
    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. In the event the Company completes further acquisitions, the Company and the Agent and lenders will agree upon modifications to the financial covenants to reflect the changes to the Company’s consolidated assets, liabilities, and expected results of operations in amounts to be mutually agreed to by the parties.
 
    The Company’s 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 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 Company’s 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.

    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 Company’s 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 six months ended December 31, 2005, $99,975 and $166,625 respectively were accreted and charged to interest expense.

Note 9. 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 10. 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 Company’s 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.

     On May 6, 2005, the Company received notice of a demand for arbitration before the American Arbitration Association from attorneys representing Michael Liss, a former employee of the Company who had the title Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Liss disputes the circumstances surrounding the termination of his employment and claims that he is entitled to severance benefits, other compensation and damages totaling approximately $187,000 in addition to attorneys fees and statutory damages. The Company believes that Mr. Liss’s claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself. The Company has accrued $50,000 for legal cost related to this matter.
Lease of Office Space for Principal Executive Offices
     The Company entered into a lease for office space in Greenwich, Connecticut, where the Company has relocated its principal executive offices.

Note 12. Acquisition of InfoNow
     On December 23, 2005, the Company entered into a Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with WTH Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and InfoNow Corporation (“InfoNow”) in a transaction valued at $7.2 million (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into InfoNow, with InfoNow surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
     Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was approved by both companies’ boards of directors, each share of InfoNow’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger will be converted into the right to receive approximately $0.71 in a combination of cash and common stock of the Company. The amount of cash per share to be received in the Merger by InfoNow stockholders will be determined by the amount of InfoNow’s cash on hand and net working capital available to it three days prior to the closing. The lesser of the two amounts will be paid in cash by the Company pro rata in proportion to each stockholder’s ownership in InfoNow at the closing of the Merger. The remainder of the approximately $0.71 per share Merger consideration will be paid in shares of the Company’s common stock, the value of which will be deemed to be the greater of $1.00 or the average closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the over-the-counter bulletin board for the twenty consecutive trading days ending two trading days prior to the closing of the Merger (the “HALO Conversion Price”). The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
     In addition, each InfoNow common stock option outstanding at the closing with an exercise price less than $0.71 per share will be converted into the right to receive cash and the Company common stock to the extent that the approximately $0.71 per share merger consideration exceeds the applicable exercise price. The amount of cash and the Company common stock to be issued in respect of the outstanding in-the-money stock options as described above will be calculated based upon the relative proportions of the cash and the Company common stock issued in the Merger in respect of the outstanding Company common stock.
     The Company will also issue a contingent value right (a “CVR”) in respect of each share of the Company’s common stock issued in the Merger. The CVRs will be payable on the 18-month anniversary of the closing date, and will entitle each holder thereof to an additional cash payment if the

F-54


 

trading price of the Company’s common stock (based on a 20-day average) is less than the HALO Conversion Price. The CVRs will expire prior to the 18-month payment date if during any consecutive 45-day trading period during that time when the volume of the Company’s common stock is not less than 200,000 per day, the stock price is 175% of the HALO Conversion Price. The shares of the Company common stock and related CVRs to be issued in the Merger are expected to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
     The Merger Agreement includes representations and warranties regarding, among other things, InfoNow’s corporate organization and capitalization, the accuracy of its reports and financial statements filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the absence of certain changes or events relative to InfoNow since September 30, 2005, and InfoNow’s receipt of a fairness opinion regarding the Merger from its financial advisor. Similarly, the Company makes representations and warranties regarding, among other things, its corporate organization and capitalization and the accuracy of its reports and financial statements filed under the Exchange Act. The Merger Agreement also includes covenants governing, among other things, InfoNow’s and the Company’s operations outside the ordinary course of business prior to the

Consummation of the Merger is subject to several closing conditions, including, among others, approval by a majority of InfoNow’s common shares entitled to vote thereon, negotiation of the final terms of the CVR agreement and the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by the Company, registering the shares of the Company common stock and related CVRs to be issued in the Merger. In addition, the Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights allowing InfoNow, the Company or both parties to terminate the agreement upon the occurrence of certain conditions, including the failure to consummate the Merger by July 31, 2006.
     This Merger is expected to close in Fiscal Q4, 2006. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.110 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed December 27, 2005, and is incorporated herein by reference.

In addition to the conversion of the principal and interest under the Notes, investors (the “Investors”) under the Subscription Agreements agreed to invest $150,000 and committed to convert the principal and interest due under certain promissory notes issued by the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000. Of these notes, an aggregate of $500,000 in principal amount was issued on September 20, 2005 and described in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed on September 26, 2005, and an aggregate of $500,000 in principal amount was issued in October 21, 2005 and described in the second Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on October 27, 2005. Accordingly, these notes were amended by the Subscription Agreement. Also under the 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 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 Subscription Agreement are irrevocable, provided that if the closing has not occurred within 30 days of the date of the agreement, the investors may revoke 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 Common Stock underlying the Series E Stock and the 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 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 Investor’s right shall be his, her or its pro rata amount of the initial offering.
In the event that the Company completes or enters into agreements to sell equity securities on or before February 15, 2006, the Investor may convert the Securities received under the Subscription Agreement into such other equity securities as if the Investor had invested the amount invested in such securities. The Company will provide the Investor will 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 the Securities into such other securities. If the Investor so converts, all rights in the Securities shall cease.
Certain of these transactions were entered into by Mr. David Howitt, a director of the Company. Mr. Howitt invested $350,000 under the Notes, and agreed to invest another $150,000 under the

F-57


 

Subscription Agreement. Mr. Howitt recused himself from the Board of Directors decisions approving these transactions.
A copy of the form of the Subscription Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.115 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed January 18, 2006.
Issuance of Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition of Empagio, Inc.
The Company entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) dated December 19, 2005, with EI Acquisition, Inc., a Georgia corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Empagio, Inc. (“Empagio”), and certain stockholders of Empagio (the “Sellers”). On January 13, 2006, the closing occurred under the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Empagio was merged with and into the Merger Sub (the “Merger”) and Empagio survived the Merger and in now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Upon the closing of the Merger, the Company issued 1,438,455 shares of its Common Stock (the “Halo Shares”). The Company has delivered to the Empagio Stockholders 1,330,571 Halo Shares and retained 107,884 Halo Shares 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.
Empagio is a human resources management software company. Its signature product is its SymphonyHR hosted software solution which automates HR procedures and reduces paperwork, ranging from payroll to benefits administration. The Company intends to integrate Empagio with additional HR solutions already within its portfolio to create a premier human resources management solutions provider.
A copy of the Merger Agreement was attached as Exhibit 10.109 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 23, 2005.
Convertible Promissory Notes in the Principal Amount of $1,375,000
On January 27 and on January 30, 2006, the Company entered into certain convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of One Million Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($1,375,000). The principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued interest, shall be due and payable on demand by the Lender on any date which is no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of the Notes (the “Original Maturity Date”), unless the Note is converted into Common Stock and Warrants as described below. In the event that the Notes are not converted by the Original Maturity Dates of the Notes, interest will begin to accrue at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.
Each Note shall convert into (i) such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount due under the Note plus the amount of all accrued but unpaid interest on the Note divided by $1.25, and (ii) warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 75% of such number of shares of Common Stock. The Notes shall so convert automatically (“Mandatory Conversion”) and with no action on the part of the Lender on the Original Maturity Date to the extent that upon such 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

F-58


 

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 Notes has not been converted on the first Mandatory Conversion (and the Lender 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 Mandatory Conversion the Lender may at its option exercisable in writing to the Company, convert all or a portion of the principal and interest due hereunder into Common Stock and Warrants provided that at each such 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. By written notice to the Company, each Lender 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.
A copy of the form of the Notes was attached as Exhibit 4.15 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed February 2, 2006.
Also on January 27 and January 30, 2006, the Company entered into certain Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) for the sale of the Notes and the underlying Common Stock and Warrants.
The material terms of the Subscription Agreements are as follows. The Company and the investors (the “Investors”) under the 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 Company undertakes to register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, and upon conversion of the Warrants (together, the “Registrable Shares”) via a suitable registration statement pursuant to the registration rights set forth in the Subscription Agreement. If a registration statement covering the Registrable Shares has not been declared effective no later than 180 days from 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 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 Notes.
The Subscription Agreement allows 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 Subscription Agreements, with a full round of investment of $10,000,000, the Investors in the Offering, together with the investors who participated in the Company’s offering of Series E Preferred Stock and Warrants (the “Series E Offering”) as described initially in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed on January 18, 2006, will have the right for 15 months after the final closing of the Offering, to invest, in the aggregate (together with any investors in such Series E offering), an additional $10,000,000 in Common Stock of the Company. The price of

F-59


 

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. The aggregate amount which may be invested pursuant to this follow-on right will be equivalent to the aggregate amount invested by the Investor in the Offering or in the Series E Offering. Each Investor’s right shall be his, her or its pro rata amount of the initial offering.
Once the Company has raised a total of $5,000,000 in this Offering and the Series E Offering, 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 Subscription Agreements, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the 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 the Investor’s 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 Common Stock. By written notice to the Company, the Investor may waive the provisions of this Section but any such waiver will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.
A copy of the form of the Subscription Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.116 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K.
Acquisition of Executive Consultants, Inc.
On January 30, 2006, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with ECI Acquisition, Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Executive Consultants, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“ECI”), and certain stockholders of ECI (the “Sellers”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Merger Sub shall be merged with and into ECI (the “Merger”) and ECI shall be the surviving corporation. The total merger consideration for all of the equity interests in ECI (the “Purchase Price”) shall be $603,571 in cash and cash equivalents and 330,668 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Halo Shares”), subject to adjustment based on the Net Working Capital (as defined in the Merger Agreement) on the Closing Date.
The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:
— At the Closing, Halo shall make available for delivery to the ECI Stockholders $603,571 in cash and cash equivalents and 330,668 Halo Shares.
— Not later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Halo shall calculate the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date and shall provide Sellers with a written copy of such calculation. Such calculation shall be definitive and binding upon the parties unless Sellers shall give Halo written notice of any objection to such calculation within thirty (30) days after the receipt thereof (an “Objection Notice”). If Sellers deliver an Objection Notice, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve all disputes regarding the Net Working Capital. If the parties can not resolve such a dispute they shall mutually agree upon a nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm to determine the Net Working Capital, whose decision, absent manifest error, shall be binding upon the parties.

F-60


 

     On January 30, 2006, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with Executive Consultants, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“ECI”). Upon the closing under the Merger Agreement, ECI will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The total merger consideration for all of the equity interests in ECI (the “Purchase Price”) will be $603,571 in cash and cash equivalents and 330,668 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Halo Shares”), subject to adjustment based on the Net Working Capital (as defined in the Merger Agreement) on the Closing Date. Following completion of the transaction, ECI will be combined with Empagio, a subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition of ECI’s clients, will enhance Empagio’s human resources software offerings. The Merger is scheduled to close in February 2006, subject to customary closing conditions.
— To the extent the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date is less than $0 (the amount of any such difference referred to as the “Purchase Price Reduction Amount”), the Purchase Price, shall be reduced, dollar for dollar and share for share (based on the per share closing valuation), by the Purchase Price Reduction Amount. To the extent the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date is greater than $ 0 (the amount of any such difference referred to as the “Purchase Price Increase Amount”) the Purchase Price, shall be increased, dollar for dollar and share for share (based on the per share closing valuation), by such amount. The amount due under the Net Working Capital adjustment shall be paid within five (5) business days of the final determination of the Purchase Price Reduction Amount or Purchase Price Increase Amount, as the case may be, by wire transfer of immediately available funds and transfer of Halo Shares. To the extent the calculation of Net Working Capital results in a Purchase Price Reduction Amount, the Sellers shall be responsible for this amount, although the Sellers may make arrangements among the ECI Stockholders to allocate this obligation pro rata among all ECI Stockholders.
Under the Merger Agreement, the Sellers made certain customary representations and warranties to the Company concerning ECI and the Company made certain customary representations and warranties to the Sellers. The Merger Agreement contains indemnity terms which provide that each party shall indemnify the other party for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants made under the agreement, provided that neither party shall be required to pay any damages unless the aggregate amount of all damages exceeds certain limits and provided further that neither party shall be liable for damages in excess of certain limits, other than for breaches by the Seller of representations relating to authority to enter into the agreement, capitalization, subsidiaries, certain liabilities, taxes and brokers fees.
The Merger is scheduled to close in February 2006, subject to customary conditions precedent including accuracy of representations and warranties at the closing date, and satisfaction of all closing conditions, but in no event later than February 28, 2006.
     A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.117 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 3, 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
The Company typically maintains cash at commercial banks. At times, bank account balances exceed FDIC insurance limits. Generally, the FDIC insures depositor funds up to $100,000.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Certain Other Risks
Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include accounts receivable. The Company sells its products and services primarily to end-users in the United States and limited in Canada. Credit is extended based on an ongoing evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses based on management’s evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, past collection history, and age of the accounts receivable balances. Historically, losses have been within the range of management’s expectations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
At June 30, 2005, the respective carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, loans payable and notes payable approximated their fair values.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is comprised of net income or loss and unrelated gain or loss on marketable securities for the year ended June 30, 2004. For the year ended June 30, 2005, comprehensive income consisted of net income only. Comprehensive income for the year ended June 30, 2004 is as follows:
         
Net income
  $ 1,211,697  
Unrealized holding gain during the year
    38,423  
Reclassification adjustment for realized loss
    14,830  
 
     
Comprehensive income
  $ 1,264,950

Marketable Securities
Marketable securities are stated at fair value as determined by quoted market price. The Company has classified its securities as investments available for sale pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” The related unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from operations and recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss on the Statement of Shareholders Equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on marketable securities are included in other expense. In September 2003, the Company sold all of its Marketable Securities and recognized a loss of $14,830 for the year ended June 30, 2004.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment recorded as part of the acquisition by Platinum was recorded at fair value. Property and equipment acquired subsequent to the date of the acquisition is recorded at cost. Significant renewals and betterments to property and equipment are capitalized and maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the assets are expensed as incurred. When assets are sold, replaced, or otherwise retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization is eliminated from the accounts in the year of disposal and the related gains and losses are included in income. Depreciation or amortization is computed on the straight-line method over one to three years, the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over seven years, the useful lives of the assets.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share has been calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares outstanding.

Revenue Recognition
Revenues are derived from the licensing of software, maintenance contracts, training, and other consulting services.
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended. 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. 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.
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.
At June 30, 2005, the Company recorded deferred revenue of $4,750,815, primarily for customer upfront payments on maintenance contracts and arrangements for which the Company is recognizing the total arrangement fee ratably over the contractual maintenance term.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes costs related to product and service revenue. Cost of product revenue includes third-party licensing fees. Cost of service revenue includes salaries, benefits, and overhead costs associated with employees providing maintenance and technical support, training and consultant services. Third-party consultant fees are also included in cost of service revenue.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the future discounted cash flows compared to the carrying amount of the asset.
Income Taxes
The Company is an S corporation and is treated as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes and, therefore, is not liable for United States (“U.S.”) federal income taxes. As an S corporation, the Company’s taxable income is included in the income tax returns of the shareholder. However, some states do not recognize the disregarded entity status and, therefore, the Company will continue to be taxed as a C corporation within those states. Additionally, there are certain states in the U.S. that assess a fee against S corporations. Accordingly, for those various states, the Company utilizes the liability method to determine the provision for income taxes.
Income tax expense and benefit relates to state income taxes and income tax refunds. The book and tax basis of the assets and liabilities with the exception of deferred revenue, intangible assets and accrued interest receivable are the same. Since the Company is an S corporation, a deferred tax asset or liability was not recorded.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Costs to ship products from the Company’s facilities to customers are recorded as a component of cost of products in the statements of income.
Advertising Expense
The Company expenses the costs of advertising when incurred. Advertising expense was $43,899 and $9,141 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Research and Development and Software Development Costs
Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Software development costs, which are required to be capitalized pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, have been insignificant. Accordingly, no software development costs have been capitalized. Research and development expense was $1,803,455 and $1,671,009 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

New 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. SFAS No. 123 (R) will be effective for the interim period beginning July 1, 2006. The Company believes the adoption will not have an effect on our results of operations.

These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Process Software, LLC and Affiliates as of June 30, 2005, and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Customers
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable.
The credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the creditworthiness of the Company’s customers, and the Company’s credit and collection policies. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, generally does not require collateral and maintains allowances for potential credit losses which, when realized, have been within the range of management’s expectations. No one customer accounted for a significant percentage of the Company’s revenue during the years ended June 30, 2004 or 2005. Additionally, no one customer accounted for a significant percentage of the Company’s accounts receivable at June 30, 2005.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company invests its excess cash primarily in money market mutual funds. Accordingly, these investments are subject to minimal credit and market risk. For financial reporting purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Income Taxes
Process and ProfitKey are single member limited liability companies that are treated as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes and, therefore, are not liable for United States (“U.S.”) federal income taxes. As a limited liability company treated as a disregarded entity, the Process and ProfitKey’s taxable income is included in the income tax returns of the member. However, some states do not recognize the disregarded entity status and, therefore, the Company will continue to be taxed as a C corporation in those states. Additionally, there are certain states in the U.S. that assess a fee against limited liability companies. Accordingly, for those various states, the Company utilizes the liability method to determine the provision for income taxes.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
David and Foresight are entities that are an S corporation and are treated as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes and, therefore, are not liable for United States (“U.S.”) federal income taxes. As an S Corporation they are treated as a disregarded entity, the David and Foresight’s taxable income is included in the income tax returns of the shareholder. However, some states do not recognize the disregarded entity status and, therefore, the Company will continue to be taxed as a C corporation in those states. Additionally, there are certain states in the U.S. that assess a fee against S corporations. Accordingly, for those various states, the Company utilizes the liability method to determine the provision for income taxes.
Income tax expense relates to state income taxes. The book and tax basis of the assets and liabilities with the exception of deferred revenue, intangible assets and goodwill are the same. Since the Company comprises of entities that are limited liability companies and S corporations, a deferred tax asset or liability was not recorded.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment recorded are cost. Property and equipment acquired subsequent to the date of acquisition is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated life of the asset or lease term.
Engineering and Development and Software Development Costs
Engineering and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility are capitalized. Based on the Company’s product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the Company between completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release have been insignificant. Accordingly no software development costs have been capitalized.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are primarily comprised of customer relationships, and developed technology. 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.

Revenue Recognition
Revenues are derived from the licensing of software, annual maintenance contracts software, training and other support services.
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 the Company’s software through its indirect sales channel, revenue is recognized when the distributor sells the software to its end-users, including value-added resellers. For licensing of the Company’s software to independent software vendors, revenue is recognized upon shipment to the independent software vendors. For licensing of the Company’s software through it’s indirect Sales channel revenue is recognized when the distributor sells the software to it’s end-user, including value-added resellers. For licensing of the Company’s software to independent software vendors, revenue is recognized upon shipment to the independent software vendors.
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended. 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. 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.
Service revenue for annual maintenance contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. Revenue from training and other services is recognized as the related services are performed.
Deferred Revenue
At June 30, 2005, the Company recorded deferred revenue of $5,709,196 primarily for customer upfront payments on maintenance contractual arrangements for which the Company is recognizing the total arrangement fee ratably over the contractual maintenance term.

Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes costs related to product and service revenue. Cost of product revenue includes material, packaging, shipping, and other production costs. Cost of service revenue includes salaries, benefits, and overhead costs associated with employees providing maintenance and technical support, training, and consulting services. Third-party consultant fees are also included in cost of service revenue.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the future discounted cash flows compared to the carrying amount of the asset.

For the year ended June 30, 2004, comprehensive loss consist of following:
         
Net loss
  $ (1,075,355 )

Marketable Securities
Marketable securities are stated at fair value as determined by quoted stock price. The Company has classified its securities as investments available for sale pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”. The related unrealized holding gains or losses are excluded from operations and recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss on the Combined Statement of Member’s and Shareholder’s Equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary on marketable securities are included in other expense.

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. SFAS No. 123 (R) will be effective for the period beginning July 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 123 (R) will not have an effect on our results of operations.

The following unaudited pro forma balance sheet has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; gives effect to the October 26, 2005 acquisition of Tesseract, and Process and Affiliates and the financing raised in connection with the acquisition as if the acquisition and financing occurred on September 30, 2005; and combines the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 2005, which is included in the Company’s Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-QSB for the three months ended September 30, 2005 with the balance sheets of Tesseract, and Process and Affiliates as of September 30, 2005.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the estimated cost of approximately $14 million to acquire Tesseract, plus transaction costs, will be allocated to Tesseract’s underlying net assets at their respective fair values. Similarly, the estimated cost of approximately $12 million to acquire Process and Affiliates, plus transaction costs, will be allocated to their underlying net assets at their respective fair values. As more fully described in the notes to the pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements, a preliminary allocation of the excess of the purchase price over the value of the net assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill. Intangible assets consisting of trade names, customer relationships, and developed technologies, are expected to be amortized over approximately seven years. At this time, the work needed to provide the basis for estimating these fair values, and amortization periods, has not been completed. As a result, the final allocation of the purchase price, intangible assets acquired, and their estimated useful lives, as well as the amount recorded as goodwill could differ materially. Accordingly, a change in the amortization period would impact the amount of annual amortization expense.
These unaudited pro forma financial statements are prepared for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of future results or of actual results that would have been achieved had the acquisition of Tesseract, and Process and Affiliates been consummated as of the dates specified above.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
     Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada. Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS
     (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
     (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales of securities are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
     (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”);
     (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the

- 72 -


 

Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
     (iii) to include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution;
     (2) for determining liability under the Act, to treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering; and
     (3) to file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
     (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
