estimate of the maximum number of shares of common stock, par
value $0.00001 per share, of Unify Corporation
(Unify) presently outstanding or issuable or

0.437 common shares, par value $0.00001 per share, of the
registrant, for each share of common stock of Unify. |
|
(2) |
Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration
fee pursuant to Rule 457(f) under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. The proposed maximum aggregate offering price
is the product of (x) $0.37 (the average of the high and
low prices of Unify common stock, as quoted on the
Over-The-Counter
Bulletin Board on March 31, 2006), and (y) 33,453,250,
the estimated maximum number of shares of Unify common stock
that may be exchanged for the common shares of the registrant
being registered. |
|
(3) |
Calculated by multiplying the proposed maximum aggregate
offering price of securities to be registered by 0.000107. |
The Registrant hereby amends this Registration Statement on
such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective
date until the Registrant shall file a further amendment which
specifically states that this Registration Statement shall
thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a)
of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the Registration
Statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission,
acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.
The

PRELIMINARY SUBJECT TO
COMPLETION DATED APRIL 5, 2006
Proxy Statement for Special Meeting of Stockholders of
UNIFY CORPORATION
Prospectus for Up to 14,619,070 Shares of Common Stock of
HALO TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS, INC.
MERGER PROPOSED YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT
To the Holders of Unify common stock:
Halo Technology Holdings, Inc. (Halo) and Unify
Corporation (Unify) have entered into an agreement
and plan of merger pursuant to which Halo will acquire Unify if
the conditions to the merger are met. The combination of Halo
and Unify is expected to substantially strengthen Halos
suite of enterprise software offerings while providing Unify
with access to greater resources, a larger installed base of
customers and significant product synergies with several of the
Halo portfolio companies.
If the merger is completed, Unify will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Halo. At the effective time of the merger (the
Effective Time), each issued and outstanding share
of Unify common stock (other than those exercising appraisal
rights) shall be converted into the right to receive 0.437 of
shares of Halo common stock (the Exchange Ratio).
Further, each outstanding and unexercised Unify stock option
that has an exercise price of less than $1.00 per share
shall become and represent an option to purchase shares of Halo
common stock as adjusted for the Exchange Ratio. All other
outstanding Unify options shall be cancelled at the Effective
Time.
The value of the merger consideration to be received in exchange
for each share of Unify common stock will fluctuate with the
market price of the Halo common stock. Based on the closing sale
price for Halos common stock on March 14, 2006 (the
day of public announcement of the proposed merger), the 0.437
Exchange Ratio represented approximately $0.65 in value for each
share of Unify common stock. Based on the closing sale price of
the Halo common stock on March 29, 2006, the last trading
day before the printing of this proxy statement/ prospectus for
which it was practicable to obtain this information, the 0.437
exchange ratio represented approximately $0.53 in value for each
share of Unify common stock. Upon completion of the merger,
Unifys former stockholders will own approximately 62% of
the then outstanding Halo common stock, based on the number of
shares of Halo and Unify outstanding on March 23, 2006.
However, it is a condition to closing the merger that the
holders of outstanding shares of Halos preferred stock and
holders of certain Halo convertible promissory notes convert
these securities into shares of common stock of Halo. Therefore,
if such conditions are met, upon completion of the merger
(assuming that no shares have yet been issued in the InfoNow
transaction described herein), Unifys former stockholders
will own approximately 29% of the then outstanding Halo common
stock based on the number of shares of Unify outstanding on
March 23, 2006 and the number of shares of Halo estimated
to be outstanding upon the conversion of preferred stock and
certain convertible notes. Halos shareholders will
continue to own their existing shares, which will not be
affected by the merger. Halo common shares are listed on the
OTC/ BB under the symbol HALO. Unify common stock is
listed on the OTC/ BB under the symbol UNFY. We urge
you to obtain current market quotations for the shares of Halo
and Unify.
YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT. The proposed merger cannot
be completed unless it is approved by the affirmative vote of
the holders of a majority of the shares of Unify common stock.
Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting of Unify
stockholders, please take the time to vote by completing and
mailing the enclosed proxy card. If you sign, date and mail your
proxy card without indicating how you want to vote, your proxy
will be counted as a vote in favor of the merger. If you do not
return your card, or you do not instruct your broker how to vote
any shares held for you in street name, it will have
the same effect as a vote against the merger. If you decide to
attend the special meeting and wish to change your proxy vote,
you may do so by voting in person at the meeting. Please note,
however, that if your shares are held of record by a broker,
bank or other nominee and you wish to vote in person at the
special meeting, you must obtain from the record holder a proxy
issued in your name.
Unifys board of directors has approved and adopted the
merger agreement and determined that the merger is advisable,
fair to and in the best interests of Unify and its stockholders
and recommends that Unify stockholders vote FOR
adoption of the merger agreement.
In lieu of receiving the merger consideration, Unify
stockholders who properly preserve their rights are entitled
under Delaware law to an appraisal of and payment for their
shares of Unify common stock if the merger is completed.
Only stockholders who hold shares of Unify common stock at the
close of business
on ,
2006 will be entitled to vote at the special meeting. If the
merger agreement is adopted by the Unify stockholders, the
parties intend to close the merger as soon as possible after the
special meeting and after all of the other conditions to closing
the merger are satisfied or waived, if permissible under
applicable law.
If the proposed merger is completed, you will be sent written
instructions for exchanging your certificates of Unify common
stock for the merger consideration. Please do not send in your
certificates until you have received these instructions.
This proxy statement/ prospectus explains the merger in
greater detail and provides you with detailed information
concerning Halo, Unify and the special meeting. Please give all
of the information contained in this proxy statement/ prospectus
your careful attention. In particular, you should carefully
consider the discussion of the risk factors relating to the
proposed merger in the section entitled Risk Factors
beginning on page 29 of this proxy statement/
prospectus.
On behalf of Unifys board of directors, I thank you for
your support and urge you to VOTE FOR ADOPTION of the
merger agreement.

|
|
3. To transact such other business as may properly come
before the special meeting. |
Unifys board of directors has fixed the close of business
on ,

entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting and at
any adjournments or postponements thereof. All stockholders are
cordially invited to attend the special meeting, but only
stockholders of record

meeting. A list of such stockholders will be available for

stockholders representing a majority of the outstanding shares

merger is advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the
Unify stockholders and recommends that you vote to adopt the

written demand for appraisal of their shares before the taking
of the vote on the merger at the special meeting and must not
vote in favor of the merger. A copy of the applicable Delaware
statutory provision is included as Annex D to the attached
proxy statement/ prospectus and a summary of this provision can
be found in the section entitled Appraisal Rights for
Unify Stockholders beginning on page 74 of the
attached proxy statement/ prospectus.

prospectus of Halo. As a proxy statement, it is provided to you
because Unifys board of directors is soliciting your proxy
for use at the Unify special meeting of stockholders called to
consider and vote on the merger agreement. As a prospectus, it
is provided to you because Halo is offering to exchange shares
of its common stock for shares of Unify common stock in the
merger. |
|
Q: |
|
What will be the impact of the merger? |
|
A: |
|
If the merger is completed, Unify will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Halo. By becoming part of Halo, which is a holding
company whose subsidiaries operate enterprise software and
information technology businesses, Unifys ability to
develop software, provide services, market its services and
expand its business is expected to be enhanced. However, Unify
will also become part of a much larger enterprise of which Unify
management will not have control, and the ability of Unify to
achieve positive results for its stockholders will depend on the
success of Halo, and not of Unify as a separate company.
Descriptions of anticipated impact of the merger, as well the
balance of this proxy statement/ prospectus, contain
forward-looking statements about events that are not certain to
occur as described, or at all, and you should not place undue
reliance on these statements. Please carefully read the section
entitled Forward-Looking Statements beginning on
page 46 of this proxy statement/ prospectus. Halos
business is subject to risks, the occurrence of which may also
impact such forward-looking statements. You should read the
section entitled Risk Factors beginning on
page 29 of this proxy statement/ prospectus. |
|
Q: |
|
Why are Halo and Unify proposing the merger? |
|
A: |
|
To review the reasons for the merger, see the sections entitled
The Merger Halos Reasons for the
Merger and The Merger Unifys
Reasons for the Merger beginning on pages 55
and 56, respectively, of this proxy statement/ prospectus. |
|
Q: |
|
What will happen in the merger? |
|
A: |
|
In the merger, UCA Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Halo, will merge with and into Unify, with Unify continuing
after the merger as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Halo. |
1
|
|
|
Q: |
|
As a Unify stockholder, what will I receive in the merger? |
|
A: |
|
If the merger is completed, you will receive 0.437 shares
of Halo common stock for each share of Unify common stock you
own as the merger consideration. Certain outstanding options to
purchase shares of Unify common stock and outstanding warrants
to purchase shares of Unify common stock will also be converted
into the right to acquire shares of Halo common stock. The
merger consideration is more fully described in the sections of
this proxy statement/ prospectus titled The Merger
Agreement Merger Consideration; Stock Payment
and ; Common Stock Options and Warrants and in
the merger agreement, which is attached to this proxy
statement/prospectus as Annex A. |
|
Q: |
|
What are the principal risks relating to the merger? |
|
A: |
|
If all of the conditions to the merger are not met, the merger
may not occur and Halo and Unify may lose the intended benefits
of the merger. Even if the merger is completed, the anticipated
benefits of combining Halo and Unify may not be realized. Halo
may have difficulty integrating Unify and may incur substantial
costs in connection with the integration. The merger may result
in the loss of customers and/or a drop in Halos stock
price. Halo may not be able to service its current debt
obligations. If the merger fails to qualify as a tax-free
reorganization, you will recognize a gain or loss on your Unify
shares. These and other risks are explained in the section
entitled Risk Factors Risks Related to the
Merger beginning on page 29 of this proxy statement/
prospectus. |
|
Q: |
|
Can the value of the transaction change between now and the
time the merger is completed? |
|
A: |
|
Yes. While the exchange rate is fixed at 0.437 shares of
Halo common stock for each share of Unify stock, the value of
each share to you will be determined based on the Halo stock
price from time to time. Each holder of Unify stock will receive
0.437 shares of Halo stock. We do not know what the Halo
common stock will be worth at the time of closing or thereafter,
and you should obtain a current quotation for Halo common stock
before voting on the merger. See the sections entitled The
Merger Agreement Merger Consideration; Stock
Payment and ; Common Stock Options and
Warrants beginning on page 78 of this proxy
statement/ prospectus. |
|
Q: |
|
As a holder of options or warrants to purchase Unify common
stock, what will I receive in the merger? |
|
A: |
|
Each outstanding option to acquire Unify common stock with a per
share exercise price less than $1.00 (whether or not then
vested) that remains outstanding immediately prior to
consummation of the merger will be converted into an equivalent
Halo stock option with the number of shares and option price
adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio. Each outstanding warrant
to acquire Unify common stock will be converted into a warrant
to purchase the number of shares of Halo common stock determined
by multiplying the number of Unify common shares covered by the
option by the Exchange Ratio, with an exercise price per warrant
share of Halo common stock of $1.836 irrespective of the Halo
common stock price at the Effective Time of the merger. See the
sections of this proxy statement/ prospectus titled The
Merger Agreement Stock Payment and ;
Common Stock Options and Warrants beginning on
page 78 of this proxy statement/ prospectus and in the
merger agreement, attached to this proxy statement/ prospectus
as Annex A. Each outstanding option to acquire Unify common
stock with an exercise price equal to or greater than $1.00
(whether or not then vested) that remains outstanding
immediately prior to the consummation of the merger will be
cancelled. |
|

Q: |
|
Who is entitled to vote at the special meeting? |
|
A: |
|
Holders of record of Unify common stock as of the close of
business
on ,
2006, referred to as the record date, are entitled to vote at
the special meeting. Each stockholder has one vote for each
share of Unify common stock that the stockholder owns on the
record date. |
2
|
|
|
Q: |
|
What vote is required to adopt the merger agreement? |
|
A: |
|
The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Unify common
stock outstanding as of the record date is the only vote
required to adopt the merger agreement. No vote is required of
the Halo stockholders. |
|
Q: |
|
If my shares are held in street name by my broker
or bank, will my broker or bank automatically vote my shares for
me? |
|
A: |
|
No, your broker or bank will not be able to vote your shares
without instructions from you. You should instruct your broker
or bank to vote your shares by following the instructions your
broker or bank provides. If you do not instruct your broker or
bank, they will not have the discretion to vote your shares. |
|
Q: |
|
What are the material U.S. federal income tax
consequences of the merger to U.S. holders of Unify common
stock? |
|
A: |
|
The merger has been structured to qualify as a tax-free
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code). Assuming the merger qualifies as a Code
Section 368 reorganization, U.S. holders of Unify
common stock will not recognize gain or loss for United States
federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of shares of Unify
common stock for Halo common shares. |
|
|
|
Tax matters are very complicated, and the tax consequences of
the merger applicable to a particular stockholder will depend in
part on each stockholders circumstances. Accordingly, we
urge you to consult your own tax advisor for a full
understanding of the tax consequences of the merger to you,
including the applicability and effect of federal, state, local
and foreign income and other tax laws. |
|
|
|
For more information, please see the section entitled The
Merger Material U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences of the Merger beginning on page 72 of
this proxy statement/ prospectus. |
|
Q: |
|
Can the Merger Agreement be Terminated Before Closing? |
|
A: |
|
Yes, there are several ways the merger agreement can be
terminated before closing, including if the merger is not
consummated by September 30, 2006, and there are several
conditions to closing (including Halo raising an additional
$2 million in equity funding), which, if not met, could
result in termination of the merger agreement. |
|
Q: |
|
How does the Unify board of directors recommend that Unify
stockholders vote? |
|
A: |
|
Unifys board of directors recommends that Unify
stockholders vote FOR the adoption of the merger
agreement. Because consummation of the merger is conditioned on
Halo raising at least $2 million in equity funding and
because one of our directors, Robert J. Majteles, has an
agreement with Special Situation Funds, a Unify investor that is
also expected to provide that financing. Mr. Majteles
abstained from voting on the merger. Other than
Mr. Majteles abstention, the Unify board of directors
recommendation was unanimous. |
|
Q: |
|
What do I need to do now? |
|
A: |
|
After carefully reading and considering the information
contained in this proxy statement/ prospectus, please mail your
signed proxy card in the enclosed return envelope as soon as
possible so that your shares may be represented at the special
meeting. You may also attend the special meeting and vote in
person. If your shares are held in street name by
your broker or bank, your broker or bank will vote your shares
only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should
follow the directions provided by your broker or bank regarding
how to instruct your broker or bank to vote your shares. |
|
Q: |
|
What if I do not vote, do not fully complete my proxy card or
fail to instruct my broker? |
|
A: |
|
It is very important for you to vote. If you do not submit a
proxy or instruct your broker how to vote your shares if your
shares are held in street name, and you do not vote in person at
the special meeting, the effect will be the same as if you voted
AGAINST the adoption of the merger agreement. If you
submit a signed proxy without specifying the manner in which you
would like your |
3
|
|
|
|
|
shares to be voted, your shares will be voted FOR
the adoption of the merger agreement. However, if your shares
are held in street name and you do not instruct your
broker how to vote your shares, your broker will not vote your
shares, such failure to vote being referred to as a broker
non-vote, which will have the same effect as voting
AGAINST the adoption of the merger agreement. You
should follow the directions provided by your broker regarding
how to instruct your broker to vote your shares in order to
ensure that your shares will be voted at the special meeting. |
|
Q: |
|
Can I change my vote after I have delivered my proxy? |
|
A: |
|
Yes. You may change your vote at any time before the vote takes
place at the special meeting. To change your vote, you may
(1) submit a new proxy card bearing a later date by mail,
or (2) send a signed written notice bearing a date later
than the date of the proxy to the Secretary of Unify stating
that you would like to revoke your proxy. You may also change
your vote by attending the special meeting and voting in person,
although your attendance alone will not revoke your proxy.
However, if you elect to vote in person at the special meeting
and your shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee, you
must bring to the meeting a legal proxy from the broker, bank or
other nominee authorizing you to vote the shares. |
|
Q: |
|
Will a proxy solicitor be used? |
|
A: |
|
No. |
|
Q: |
|
Do I need to attend the special meeting in person? |
|
A: |
|
No. It is not necessary for you to attend the special
meeting to vote your shares if Unify has previously received
your proxy, although you are welcome to attend. |
|
Q: |
|
Should I send in my stock certificates now? |
|
A: |
|
No. After the merger is
completed, ,
acting the exchange agent, will send you instructions (including
a letter of transmittal) explaining how to exchange your shares
of Unify common stock for the appropriate number of shares of
Halo common stock. Please do not send in your stock certificates
with your proxy. |
|
Q: |
|
When do you expect to complete the merger? |
|
A: |
|
We are working to complete the merger as promptly as practicable
after the special meeting. However, because the merger is
subject to closing conditions, we cannot predict the exact
timing. |
|
Q: |
|
Will I have appraisal rights as a result of the merger? |
|
A: |
|
If you do not wish to participate in the merger and wish to
exercise your appraisal rights, you must follow the requirements
of Delaware law. A copy of the applicable Delaware statutory
provision is included as Annex D to this proxy statement/
prospectus and a summary of this provision can be found in the
section entitled Appraisal Rights for Unify
Stockholders beginning on page 74 of this proxy
statement/ prospectus. If more than 10% of the Unify
stockholders elect to exercise appraisal rights, then Halo can
elect to terminate the merger agreement. |
|
Q: |
|
How will Unify stockholders receive the merger
consideration? |
|
A: |
|
Following the merger, you will receive a letter of transmittal
and instructions on how to obtain the merger consideration in
exchange for your Unify common stock. You must return the
completed letter of transmittal and surrender your Unify shares
of common stock as described in the instructions, and you will
receive the merger consideration as soon as practicable after
the exchange agent receives your completed letter of transmittal
and Unify shares of common stock. |
|
Q: |
|
Who can I call with questions? |

proxy or other matters discussed in this proxy statement/
prospectus or if you need additional copies of this proxy

Halo is a holding company whose subsidiaries operate enterprise

holding its existing subsidiaries, Halos strategy is to
pursue acquisitions of businesses that either complement
Halos existing businesses or expand the industries in
which Halo operates. Halos current operating subsidiaries

(Tesseract), DAVID Corporation (DAVID),

Reasons for the Merger (see pages 55 and 56)
Halos and Unifys board of directors, respectively,
believe the proposed merger will enhance value for stockholders
of both companies. We expect that the combination of Halo and
Unify will substantially strengthen Halos suite of
enterprise software offerings while providing Unify with access
to greater resources, a larger installed base of customers and
significant product synergies with several of the Halo portfolio
companies. In addition, as of the date Unifys board of
directors approved the merger [and as of the date this proxy
statement/ prospectus is mailed] , the merger consideration
provides a premium for Unify stockholders. To review the reasons
for the merger in greater detail, see the sections entitled
The Merger Halos Reasons for the
Merger and The Merger Unifys
Reasons for the Merger beginning on pages 55
and 56, respectively, of this proxy statement/ prospectus.
Structure of the Transaction (see page 51)
On the closing date, UCA Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Halo, will merge with and into Unify, with Unify
continuing after the merger as the surviving entity and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of
5
Halo pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement that are
described in this proxy statement/ prospectus. Holders of
outstanding Unify common stock (other than holders perfecting
appraisal rights, see the section of this proxy statement/
prospectus entitled Appraisal Rights for Unify
Stockholders beginning on page 74 of this proxy
statement/ prospectus) will receive as the merger consideration
0.437 shares of Halo common stock for each share of Unify
common stock.
Further, each outstanding and unexercised Unify stock option
that has an exercise price of less than $1.00 per share
shall become and represent an option to purchase shares of Halo
common stock as adjusted for the Exchange Ratio. All other
outstanding Unify options shall be cancelled at the Effective
Time. The Halo options issued in substitution of assumed Unify
options shall contain substantially the same terms and
conditions as the applicable assumed Unify options.
Each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of common stock of
Unify shall become and represent a warrant to purchase the
number of shares of Halo common stock determined by multiplying
the number of shares of Unify common stock subject to the
warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time of the merger by
the Exchange Ratio, with an exercise price of $1.836 per
share. The Halo warrants issued in substitution of Unify
warrants shall contain substantially the same terms and
conditions as the applicable Unify warrants.
The merger consideration and treatment of Unify options and
warrants are more fully described in the sections entitled
The Merger Agreement Merger
Consideration and Stock Payment; Common
Stock Options and Warrants beginning on page 78 of
this proxy statement/ prospectus and in the merger agreement,
which is attached to this proxy statement/ prospectus as
Annex A. Stockholders of Unify are encouraged to carefully
read the merger agreement in its entirety as it is the legal
document that governs the merger.
Special Meeting of Unify Stockholders (see page 47)
The special meeting will be held
on , ,
2006, at a.m., local time,
at .
The purpose of the Unify special meeting is to (1) consider
and vote upon a proposal to adopt the merger agreement,
(2) consider and vote upon a proposal to authorize the
proxy holders to vote to adjourn or postpone the special
meeting, in their sole discretion, for the purpose of soliciting
additional votes for the adoption of the merger agreement, and
(3) transact such other business as may properly come
before the special meeting or any postponements or adjournments
of the special meeting. Adoption of the merger agreement by
Unify stockholders will also constitute approval of the merger
and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement
as are described more fully in this proxy statement/ prospectus
and in the merger agreement, which is attached to this proxy
statement/ prospectus as Annex A.
Only stockholders who hold shares of Unify common stock at the
close of business
on , ,
2006, which is also referred to as the record date, are entitled
to notice of and to vote at the Unify special meeting. As of the
close of business on the record date, there
were shares
of Unify common stock outstanding, which were held of record by
approximately stockholders.
A majority of these shares, present in person or represented by
proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business
at the Unify special meeting. If a quorum is not present, it is
expected that the special meeting will be adjourned or postponed
to solicit additional proxies. Each Unify stockholder is
entitled to one vote for each share of Unify common stock held
as of the record date.
Adoption of the merger agreement by Unifys stockholders is
required by Delaware law in order to consummate the merger. Such
adoption requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the shares of Unify common stock outstanding on the
record date and entitled to vote at the special meeting. In
addition, authorizing the proxy holders to vote to adjourn or
postpone the special meeting for the purpose of soliciting
additional votes for the adoption of the merger agreement will
require the affirmative vote of Unify stockholders representing
a majority of the shares of Unify common stock present and
entitled to vote at the special meeting.
6
Unify stockholders representing approximately 33% of the Unify
shares entitled to vote at the special meeting have entered into
a Stockholder Agreement with Halo pursuant to which they have
agreed to vote their shares in favor of the merger. As of the
record date, Unifys directors, executive officers and
their affiliates held approximately 6% of the shares entitled to
vote at the special meeting.
Halo shareholders are not required to approve the issuance of
the shares of Halo common stock as part of the merger
consideration.
Recommendation of Unifys Board of Directors (see
page 50)
After careful consideration, Unifys board of directors has
approved and adopted the merger agreement and determined that
the merger is advisable, fair to and in the best interests of
Unify and its stockholders and recommends that Unify
stockholders vote FOR adoption of the merger
agreement. Because consummation of the merger is conditioned on
Halo raising at least $2 million in equity funding and
because an affiliate of one of Unifys directors, Robert J.
Majteles, has an agreement with Special Situation Funds, a Unify
investor which is expected to provide that financing,
Mr. Majteles abstained from voting on the merger. Other
than Mr. Majteles abstention, the Unify boards
recommendation was unanimous.
Fairness Opinion of Douglas Curtis & Allyn LLC (see
page 59)
In connection with the merger, Douglas Curtis & Allyn
LLC (DCA), delivered a written opinion to
Unifys board of directors to the effect that, as of
March 10, 2006, and based upon and subject to the
respective assumptions, factors, and limitations set forth in
its opinion, the merger consideration to be received by the
holders of the outstanding shares of Unify common stock pursuant
to the merger agreement was fair from a financial point of view
to those holders.
The full text of the written opinion of DCA dated March 10,
2006, which sets forth the procedures followed, matters
considered, assumptions made and limitations on the review
undertaken in connection with its opinion, is attached to this
proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex B. We encourage you to
read this opinion carefully in its entirety for a description of
the procedures followed, matters considered, assumptions made
and limitations on the review undertaken. DCA provided its
opinion for the information and assistance of Unifys board
of directors in connection with its consideration of the merger.
DCAs opinion is directed to Unifys board of
directors as of March 10, 2006 and does not constitute a
recommendation as to how any Unify stockholder should vote with
respect to the merger.
Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger (see
page 68)
Unify stockholders should be aware that certain members of the
Unify board of directors and management have interests in the
merger that are different from, or are in addition to, the
interests of other Unify stockholders that may make them more
likely to approve and adopt the merger agreement and approve the
merger.
The merger agreement provides that rights to indemnification,
found in Unifys certificate of incorporation and bylaws,
benefiting Unifys directors and officers, will survive the
closing of the merger. The merger agreement also provides for
the purchase of a directors and officers insurance policy for
the benefit of Unifys directors and officers.
In addition, certain executive officers of Unify are parties to
change of control severance agreements that could be triggered
if they are terminated prior to or following the merger and
certain executive officers of Unify may continue as employees of
Halo and may receive options to purchase Halo common stock
following the merger.
It is a condition to closing the merger that Unifys Chief
Executive Officer, Todd Wille, enter into an employment
agreement with Halo.
7
Additionally, the consummation of the merger is conditioned on
Halo raising at least $2 million in equity funding, which
funding may be provided by Special Situations Funds, which is
also a significant stockholder in Unify. An affiliate of one of
the directors of Unify, Robert J. Majteles, has an agreement
with Special Situation Funds under which such affiliate will
benefit from any gain realized in Special Situations Funds
investment in Unify or Halo. See the section entitled The
Merger Interests of Certain Persons in the
Merger beginning on page 68 of this proxy statement/
prospectus.
Risk Factors (see page 29)
In evaluating the merger and the merger agreement and before
deciding how to vote your shares of Unify common stock at the
Unify special meeting, you should carefully read this proxy
statement/ prospectus and consider the following risk factors in
the section entitled Risk Factors beginning on

explanation of the material risks of relating to the merger and
Halos business. Specific factors that might cause actual
results to differ from our expectations include, but are not
limited to:
|
|
|
|
|
failure to complete the merger could negatively impact
Unifys and/or Halos stock price, future business, or
operations; |
|
|
|
failure to satisfy or waive certain conditions could prevent the
merger from occurring; |
|
|
|
because the market price of Halo common shares will fluctuate,
the value of the Halo common shares that will be issued in the
merger will not be known until the closing of the merger; |
|
|
|
Halo will incur significant costs to achieve and may not be able
to realize the anticipated savings, synergies or revenue
enhancements from the merger; |
|
|
|
Halo may not successfully integrate Unify into its business and
operations; |
|
|
|
the costs of the merger and the costs of integrating Halos
and Unifys operations are substantial and may make it more
difficult for the combined company to achieve profitability; |
|
|
|
the price of Halo common stock may be affected by factors
different than those affecting the price of Unify common stock; |
|
|
|
the market price of Halo common stock may decline as a result of
the merger; |
|
|
|
the issuance of shares of Halo common stock in the merger will
result in immediate dilution of Halos outstanding common
stock; |
|
|
|
Halos relatively low trading volume may limit your ability
to sell your shares of Halo common stock received in the merger; |
|
|
|
sales of substantial amounts of Halo common stock in the open
market could depress Halos stock price; |
|
|
|
Halo and Unify may waive one or more of the conditions to the
merger without resoliciting Unify stockholder approval for the
merger; |
|
|
|
the termination fee may discourage other companies from trying
to acquire Unify; |
|
|
|
departure of key personnel or the failure to attract qualified
employees may negatively impact the business of Halo after the
consummation of the merger; |
|
|
|
general uncertainty related to the merger could harm Halo; |
|
|
|
Halos and Unifys officers and directors have
interests that may influence them to support or approve the
merger; |
|
|
|
Halo has a limited operating history, has a history of losses
and negative working capital and may need additional financing
in the near future; |
8
|
|
|
|
|
Halo may be unable to borrow funds; |
|
|
|
If Halo fails to meet its obligations under its debt agreements,
its secured lender could foreclose on its assets; |
|
|
|
The markets for Halos products are highly competitive and
rapidly changing; |
|
|
|
The technology Halo uses is rapidly changing; |
|
|
|
Halo success depends in part on its ability to protect its
intellectual property; |
|
|
|
Halo is dependent on key personnel; |
|
|
|
failure to manage anticipated growth and expansion could have a
material adverse effect on Halos business; |
|
|
|
Halo expects to pay no cash dividends; |
|
|
|
Halos common stock is subject to the penny
stock restrictions under federal securities laws, which
could reduce the liquidity of the Halo common stock; |
|
|
|
Halos acquisition strategy may place substantial burdens
on Halos management resources and financial controls; |
|
|
|
Halo may be unable to finance future acquisitions; and |
|
|
|
Halo may not be able to successfully integrate all of its other
recent acquisitions with Unify. |
Conditions to the Merger (see page 82)
Each partys obligation to complete the merger is subject
to the prior satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions
specified in the merger agreement. The following conditions, in
addition to other customary closing conditions, must be

Termination of the Merger Agreement (see page 85)
Even if the Unify stockholders approve the merger agreement, the
merger agreement may be terminated by mutual consent, or by
either Halo or Unify, at any time before the completion of the
merger under specified circumstances, including:
|
|
|
|
|
by mutual consent of Halo and Unify if the board of directors of
each company so determines by a vote of a majority of the
members of its entire board; |
|
|
|
upon written notice to the other party 30 days after the
date on which any request or application for a regulatory
approval shall have been denied or withdraw at the request or
recommendation of the governmental entity which must grant such
approval, unless within the 30 day period following such
denial or withdrawal the Parties agree to file, and have filed
with the applicable governmental entity, a petition for
rehearing or an amended application; |
|
|
|
if the merger is not completed, through no fault of the
terminating party, by September 30, 2006; |
|
|
|
if the approval of the stockholders of Unify required for the
consummation of the merger is not obtained by reason of the
failure to obtain the required vote at a duly held stockholders
meeting; |
|
|
|
if the other party has breached any of its representations and
warranties or failed to perform any of its covenants and the
breach or failure, individually or in the aggregate, has had or
is likely to have a material adverse effect on the non-breaching
party and such failure or breach is not cured or curable within
30 days following receipt of written notice of such breach
or failure, or such breach, by its nature, cannot be cured prior
to the closing of the merger; or |
|
|
|
if Unify, after compliance with the terms of the merger
agreement, accepts a superior proposal (as defined in the
section entitled The Merger Agreement No
Solicitation beginning on page 84 of this proxy
statement/ prospectus), provided that Unify pays Halo the
termination fee under the merger agreement (see the section
entitled The Merger Agreement Termination
Fee beginning on page 85 of this proxy statement/
prospectus). |
In addition, Halo may unilaterally terminate the merger
agreement if:
|
|
|
|
|
Unify or its board of directors fails to call and hold the Unify
special meeting; fails to recommend the approval of the merger;
fails to oppose a third party acquisition proposal under certain
circumstances as defined in the merger agreement; or solicits,
initiates, encourages inquiries or company acquisition
proposals, or engages in negotiations or discussions regarding a
company acquisition proposal (as defined in the sections
entitled The Merger Agreement Termination
Fee and No Solicitation beginning
on pages 84 and 85, respectively, of this proxy
statement/ prospectus). |
Payment of Termination Fee (see page 85)
Unify has agreed to pay Halo a termination fee of $600,000 if
the merger agreement is terminated under specified circumstances.
No Solicitation of Transactions Involving Unify (see
page 84)
The merger agreement contains restrictions on the ability of
Unify to solicit or engage in discussions or negotiations with a
third party with respect to a proposal regarding a tender offer,
exchange offer, merger, consolidation, business combination or
similar transaction, involving Unify. Notwithstanding these
restrictions, the merger agreement provides that under specified
circumstances, if Unify receives an unsolicited proposal from a
third party to acquire more than fifty percent of the Unify
shares then outstanding or all or substantially all of
Unifys assets and Unifys board of directors
determines in good faith such proposal is, or is reasonably
likely to be, a proposal that is superior to the merger, Unify
may furnish nonpublic information to that third party and engage
in negotiations regarding a takeover proposal with that third
party.
10
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the
Merger (see page 72)
The merger is intended to qualify as a reorganization within the
meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended. Accordingly, holders of Unify common stock
generally will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal
income tax purposes on the exchange of their Unify common stock
for Halo common stock in the merger, except for any gain or loss
that may result from the receipt of cash instead of a fractional
Halo common share or upon exercise of appraisal rights.
Tax matters are complicated and the tax consequences to you
of the merger will depend on your particular tax situation. In
addition, you may be subject to state, local or foreign tax laws
that are not discussed in this proxy statement/ prospectus. You
should consult your own tax advisor to fully understand the tax
consequences of the merger to you.
Appraisal Rights (see page 74)
Unify is a Delaware corporation and under Delaware law, you have
the right to dissent from the merger, exercise your appraisal
rights and receive payment in cash for the fair value of your
Unify common stock, as determined by the Delaware Court of
Chancery. You should be aware that the fair value of your Unify
shares as determined by the Chancery Court under
Section 262 could be greater, the same, or less than the
value that you are entitled to receive for your Unify shares
pursuant to the merger agreement. This right to appraisal is
subject to a number of restrictions and technical requirements,
and Delaware law requires strict compliance with these
provisions. Generally, in order to exercise your appraisal
rights you must:
|
|
|
|
|
deliver to Unify a written demand for appraisal of your shares
in compliance with Delaware law before the vote on the merger; |
|
|
|
not vote in favor of the merger by proxy or in person; and |
|
|
|
continuously hold your Unify common stock as record holder, from
the date you make the demand for appraisal through the closing
of the merger. |
Merely voting against the merger will not protect your rights to
an appraisal, which requires strict compliance with all the
steps mandated under Delaware law. These requirements under
Delaware law for exercising appraisal rights are described in
further detail in the section entitled Appraisal Rights
for Unify Stockholders beginning on page 74 of this
proxy statement/ prospectus. The relevant section of the
Delaware General Corporation Law Section 262 regarding
appraisal rights is reproduced and attached as Annex D to
this proxy statement/ prospectus. We encourage you to read these
provisions carefully and in their entirety.
IF YOU VOTE FOR THE MERGER, YOU WILL WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS TO SEEK
APPRAISAL OF YOUR SHARES OF UNIFY COMMON STOCK UNDER DELAWARE
LAW.
Surrender of Unify Shares of Common Stock (see
page 79)
Following the Effective Time of the merger, Halo will cause a
letter of transmittal to be mailed to all holders of Unify
common stock containing instructions for surrendering their
shares of common stock. Unify stockholders should not surrender
their Unify common stock certificates until they receive the
letter of transmittal and fully complete and return it as
instructed in the letter of transmittal.
Certain Effects of the Merger (see page 143)
Upon completion of the merger, Unify stockholders will become
stockholders of Halo. The internal affairs of Halo are governed
by Nevada law and Halos articles of incorporation and
bylaws. The internal affairs of Unify are governed by Delaware
law and Unifys certificate of incorporation and bylaws.
Due to differences between the governing documents and governing
state laws of Halo and Unify, the merger will result in Unify
stockholders having different rights once they become Halo
stockholders, which rights are summarized in the section
entitled Comparison of Stockholder Rights and Corporate
Governance Matters beginning on page 143 of this
proxy statement/ prospectus.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS

|
|
Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Halo and Unity Pro Forma
Financial Statements |
The following Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements for Halo give effect to the proposed
acquisition of Unify by Halo using the purchase method of
accounting for the transaction.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet of
Halo gives effect to the proposed acquisition as if it occurred
on December 31, 2005 and combines the audited historical
consolidated balance sheet of Halo as of December 31, 2005
and the unaudited historical consolidated balance sheet of Unify
as of January 31, 2006.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statement of
operations of Halo for the year ended June 30, 2005 gives
effect to the proposed acquisition as if it occurred on
July 1, 2004. The unaudited pro forma consolidated
condensed statement of operations of Halo for the year ended
June 30, 2005 combines the results of operations of Halo
for the year ended June 30, 2005 with the results of
operations of Unify for the twelve months ended July 31,
2005.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statement of
operations of Halo for the six months ended
December 31, 2005 gives effect to the acquisition of Unify
as if the transaction occurred on July 1, 2005. The
unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statement of
operations combines the results of Halo for the six months
ended December 31, 2005 with the results of operations of
Unify for the six months ended January 31, 2006.
The pro forma statements do not reflect any increases or
decreases in revenues or costs or any synergies that might
result from the Unify acquisition. The pro forma statements
reflect the adjustments described in the accompanying Notes to
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements.
The pro forma adjustments contained in the pro forma statements
are based upon the best information available to management as
of the date of report. Accordingly, the final allocation of
purchase price could differ from that presented in the pro forma
statements and the difference could be significant.
12
The pro forma statements have been derived from the historical
consolidated financial statements of Halo and Unify and are
qualified in their entirety by reference to, and should be read
in conjunction with, such historical consolidated financial
statements and related notes thereto.
The pro forma statements are presented for illustrative purposes
only and do not purport to be indicative of the operating
results or financial position that would have actually occurred
if the acquisition of Unify by Halo had occurred on the dates
indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of future
operating results or financial position of Halo subsequent to
its acquisition of Unify.

$30,417 in accrued interest. The total $1,180,417 is to be

additional paid in capital. Interest expense of $113,321 is
recorded for the excess of the market value of the common stock
over the value of the original notes and accrued interest. One
of these convertible notes were originally issued with warrants,
whose fair market value was reduced from the principal. The
accreted amount at December 31, 2005 was $1,095,885. The
unaccreted amount of $54,115 as of December 31, 2005 is
charged to interest expense as this note was converted to common
stock. Furthermore, additional warrants are to be issued to the
note holders on conversion of these notes. The fair market value
of these warrants are estimated to be $854,195, using the
Black-Scholes method. This amount is also expensed as interest.

Series D Stock are to be converted to Halos common
stock at a one share to one share ratio. 13,802,837 shares

Series D Stock (the liquidation value of $6,750,000) were
converted into the same number of shares of Halos common
stock. At the $.00001 par value, $208 ($138 for
Series C and $70 for Series D) is recorded as common
stock. $20,552,629 ($13,802,699 for Series C and $6,749,930
for Series D) is recorded as additional paid in capital.

the preliminary allocation of the purchase price. Estimates are
made based on Halos stock price as of December 31,
2005, Unifys balance sheet, common stock, warrants, and
stock options information as of January 31, 2006. The fair
market value (FMV) of options and warrants are
estimated using the Black-Scholes method. The final allocation
of the purchase price will be determined based on a
comprehensive final evaluation of the fair value of the tangible
and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

OPERATIONS
(Unaudited)
(J) Reflects the Companys historical statement of
operations for the six months ended December, 2005 and the year
ended June 30, 2005.
(K) Reflects Unifys historical statement of
operations for the six months ended January 31, 2006 and
the twelve months ended July 31, 2005, including various
reclassifications to conform to the companys financial
statement presentation. In order to conform Unifys fiscal
year end from April 30 year end to Halos
June 30 year end, Unifys historical operating
results have been derived from combinations of quarters in its
two fiscal years. For the pro forma statements of operations for
the six months ended December 31, 2005, Unifys
results were derived by combining the quarter ended
January 31, 2006 and quarter ended October 31, 2005 in
its fiscal year ending April 30, 2006. For the pro forma
statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2005,
Unifys results were derived by combining the quarter ended
July 31, 2005 in the fiscal year ending April 30, 3006
and last three quarters of its fiscal year ended April 30,
2005.
(L) To record the decrease in amortization of the deferred
revenue as a result of a fair value adjustment (in accordance
with EITF 01-03,
Accounting in a Business Combination for Deferred Revenue
of an Acquiree) of $1,193,759 and $1,633,565 for the six
months ended December 31, 2005 and for the year ended
June 30, 2005, respectively, which is included in services
revenue.
(M) To record the increased amortization of deferred
compensation of $105,719 and $191,660 for the six months ended
December 31, 2005 and for the year ended June 30,
2005, respectively. These increases are the results of the
conversion of unvested Unify stock options.
(N) To record the increased amortization of intangibles of
$479,199 and $958,397 for the six months ended December 31,
2005 and for the year ended June 30, 2005, respectively.
The increase in the amortization results from the increase in
the fair market value of the intangible assets acquired.
(O) To record the increased interest expense of $1,021,631
for both the six months ended December 31, 2005 and for the
year ended June 30, 2005. The increase in the interest
expense results from conversion of the convertible notes
described in the note (E) of NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA
CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET.
(P) The Company did not record an income tax benefit
because the company provided a full valuation allowance against
the deferred tax asset.
(Q) The weighted average number of shares are calculated as

Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Halo, Unify and InfoNow Pro
Forma Financial Statements
On December 23, 2005, Halo entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger to acquire InfoNow. Halo anticipates that the
InfoNow transaction is likely to close in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2006, close to the timing of the consummation of the
Unify merger and therefore Halo has included pro forma financial
statements reflecting the acquisition of both companies.
The following Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements for Halo give effect to the proposed
acquisitions of Unify and InfoNow by Halo using the purchase
method of accounting for the transaction.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet of
Halo gives effect to the proposed acquisitions as if they
occurred on December 31, 2005 and combines the audited
historical consolidated balance sheet of Halo and the unaudited
historical consolidated balance sheets of Unify and InfoNow as
of December 31, 2005 and January 31, 2006,
respectively.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statement of
operations of Halo for the year ended June 30, 2005 gives
effect to the proposed acquisitions as if they occurred on
July 1, 2004. The unaudited pro forma consolidated
condensed statement of operations of Halo for the year ended
June 30, 2005 combines the results of operations of Halo
for the year ended June 30, 2005 with the results of
operations of Unify for the twelve months ended July 31,
2005 and of InfoNow for the twelve months ended June 30,
2005.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statement of
operations combines the results of Halo for the six months
ended December 31, 2005 with the results of operations of
Unify for the six months ended January 31, 2006 with
the results of operations of InfoNow for the six months
ended December 31, 2005.
The pro forma statements do not reflect any increases or
decreases in revenues or costs or any synergies that might
result from the Unify and InfoNow acquisitions. The pro forma
statements reflect the adjustments described in the accompanying
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial
Statements.
The pro forma adjustments contained in the pro forma statements
are based upon the best information available to management as
of the date of report. Accordingly, the final allocation of
purchase price could differ from that presented in the pro forma
statements and the difference could be significant.
The pro forma statements have been derived from the historical
consolidated financial statements of Halo, Unify and InfoNow and
are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and should be
read in conjunction with, such historical consolidated financial
statements and related notes thereto. The historical
consolidated financial statements of InfoNow are contained in
reports and other information filed by InfoNow with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Securities and Exchange
Commission maintains a website that contains such reports and
other information which may be accessed at http://www.sec.gov.
The pro forma statements are presented for illustrative purposes
only and do not purport to be indicative of the operating
results or financial position that would have actually occurred
if the acquisitions of Unify and InfoNow by Halo had occurred on
the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of
future operating results or financial position of Halo
subsequent to its acquisition of Unify and InfoNow.

year end from April 30 year end to Halos June

compensation of $105,719 and $191,660 for the six months ended

$479,199 and $958,397 for the six months ended December 31,
2005 and for the year ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the following factors, together
with the other information contained in this proxy statement/
prospectus, before determining whether or not to vote in favor
of the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and the
merger. By voting in favor of the merger, you will be choosing
to invest in Halo common stock. An investment in Halo common
stock involves a high degree of risk. Additional risks and
uncertainties not currently known to Halo or that Halo does not
currently deem material may also become important factors that
may harm Halos business. If any of the following risks
actually occur, Halos business, financial condition or
results of operations would likely suffer, the trading price of
Halos common stock would probably decline, and you may
lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to the Merger
|
|
|
Failure to complete the merger could negatively impact
Unifys and/or Halos stock price, future business, or
operations. |
If the merger is not completed, Halo and Unify may be subject to
a number of material risks, including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
Unify may be required under certain circumstances to pay Halo a
termination fee of $600,000; |
|
|
|
the price of Halos and/or Unifys common stock may
decline to the extent that the relevant current market price
reflects a market assumption that the merger will be
completed; and |
|
|
|
costs related to the merger, such as legal, accounting, certain
financial advisory and financial printing fees, must be paid,
even if the merger is not completed. |
Further, if the merger is terminated and Unifys board of
directors determines to seek another merger or business
combination, there can be no assurance that it will be able to
find a partner on terms as attractive as those provided for in
the merger agreement. In addition, while the merger agreement is
in effect and subject to very narrowly defined exceptions, Unify
is prohibited from soliciting, initiating, encouraging or
entering into certain extraordinary transactions, such as a
merger, disposition, consolidation, dissolution, sale of assets
or other business combination, other than with Halo. See the
sections entitled The Merger Agreement No
Solicitation, Termination,
Termination Fee, and Risk
Factors Risks Related to Halos Business
beginning on pages 84, 85, 85 and 34, respectively, of this
proxy statement/ prospectus.
|
|
|
Failure to satisfy or waive certain conditions could
prevent the merger from occurring. |
The closing of the merger is contingent upon various conditions
being satisfied or waived. If all the conditions are not
satisfied or waived, the merger will not occur. If the merger
does not occur, each of Halo and Unify will lose the intended
benefits of the merger. The following conditions, in addition to
other customary closing conditions, must be satisfied or waived,
if permissible, before Halo and/or Unify are obligated to
complete the merger:
|
|
|
|
|
the merger agreement must be adopted by the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Unify common stock as of
the record date; |
|
|
|
there must not be any order, injunction or decree preventing the
completion of the merger; |
|
|
|
this proxy statement/ prospectus must be declared effective by
the SEC and no stop order suspending such effectiveness shall be
in effect; |
|
|
|
there shall have been no material adverse change in the
business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), assets
or liabilities of either Unify or Halo; |
|
|
|
Halo must have received at least $2,000,000 in new money equity
investments; |
|
|
|
certain holders of convertible promissory notes of Halo must
have converted such promissory notes into shares of Halo common
stock; |
30
|
|
|
|
|
the holders of all outstanding shares of Halos preferred
stock must convert their shares of Halo preferred stock to
shares of Halo common stock; |
|
|
|
should any holders of Unify common stock exercise dissenters
rights with respect to the merger, the number of shares of
common stock held by such holders shall not be more than ten
percent of Unifys common stock; and |
|
|
|
Todd Wille and Halo must have entered into an employment
agreement. |
Any termination of the merger agreement, regardless of whether
termination expenses are required to be paid, could lead to a
possible decline in the market price of Halo and/or Unify common
stock to the extent current market prices reflect a market
assumption that the merger will be completed.
|
|
|
Because the market price of Halo common shares will
fluctuate, the value of the Halo common shares that will be
issued in the merger will not be known until the closing of the
merger. |
The value of the Halo common stock to be issued in the merger
could be considerably higher or lower than the value at the time
the merger consideration was negotiated. Neither Halo nor Unify
is permitted to terminate the merger agreement or resolicit the
vote of Unify stockholders solely because of changes in the
market prices of either companys stock. Stock price
changes may result from a variety of factors, including changes
in the respective businesses operations and prospects of Halo
and Unify, changes in general market and economic conditions,
and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are beyond
the control of Halo or Unify.
Upon the completion of the merger, each share of Unify common
stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger will be
converted into the right to receive 0.437 shares of Halo
common stock. Because the exchange ratio for Halo common shares
to be issued in the merger has been fixed, the value of the
merger consideration will depend upon the market price of Halo
common shares. This market price may vary from the closing price
of Halo common shares on the date the merger was announced, on
the date that the proxy statement/ prospectus is mailed to Unify
stockholders and Halo shareholders and on the date of the Unify
special meeting. Accordingly, at the time of the stockholder
meetings, stockholders will not know or be able to calculate the
value of the merger consideration that would be issued upon
completion of the merger. Further, the time period between the
stockholder votes taken at the meeting and the completion of the
merger will depend on the satisfaction or waiver of other
conditions to closing, and there is currently no way to predict
how long it will take or the changes in Halos and
Unifys respective businesses, operations and prospects
that may occur during this interval. See the sections entitled
The Merger Agreement Merger Consideration;
Stock Payment and ; Common Stock Options and
Warrants beginning on page 78 of this proxy
statement/ prospectus.
|
|
|
Halo will incur significant costs to achieve and may not
be able to realize the anticipated savings, synergies or revenue
enhancements from the merger. |
Halo and Unify entered into the merger agreement with the
expectation that the merger will result in various benefits,
including among others, the ability to spread certain redundant
costs associated with operating as separate public companies,
including duplicative corporate functions and accounting and
legal fees associated with SEC reporting, over a broader base of
portfolio companies. Achieving the anticipated benefits of the
merger is subject to a number of uncertainties, including
whether Halo integrates Unify in an effective and efficient
manner, and general competitive factors in the marketplace.
Failure to achieve these anticipated benefits could result in
increased costs and diversification of managements time
and energy could materially impact Halos business,
financial condition and operating results.
Even if Halo is able to integrate successfully its operations
with Unifys operations, Halo may not be able to realize
the cost savings, synergies or revenue enhancements that Halo
anticipates from the integration, either in the amount or the
time frame that Halo currently expects. Halos ability to
realize
31
anticipated cost savings, synergies and revenue enhancements may
be affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited
to:
|
|
|
|
|
Halos ability to effectively eliminate duplicative back
office overhead and overlapping and redundant general and
administrative functions and costs associated with operating as
separate public companies; |
|
|
|
the anticipated utilization of cash resources on integration and
implementation activities to achieve those cost savings, which
could be greater than Halo currently expects and which could
offset any such savings and other synergies resulting from the
merger; |
|
|
|
increases in other expenses, operating losses or problems
unrelated to the merger, which may offset the cost savings and
other synergies from the merger or divert resources intended to
be used in the integration plan; and |
|
|
|
Halos ability to avoid labor disruption in connection with
the integration. |
|
|
|
Halo may not successfully integrate Unify into its
business and operations. |
Prior to the consummation of the merger, Halo and Unify operated
as separate entities. Halo may experience material negative
consequences to its business, financial condition or results of
operations if it cannot successfully integrate Unifys
operations with Halos. The integration of companies that
have previously been operated separately involves a number of
risks, including, but not limited to:
|
|
|
|
|
demands on management related to the significant increase in the
size of the business for which they are responsible; |
|
|
|
diversion of managements attention from the management of
daily operations to the integration of operations, whether
perceived or actual; |
|
|
|
management of employee relations across facilities; |
|
|
|
difficulties in the assimilation of different corporate cultures
and practices, as well as in the assimilation and retention of
broad and geographically dispersed personnel and operations; |
|
|
|
difficulties and unanticipated expenses related to the
integration of departments, systems (including accounting
systems), technologies, books and records, procedures and
controls (including internal accounting controls, procedures and
policies), as well as in maintaining uniform standards,
including environmental management systems; |
|
|
|
expenses of any undisclosed or potential liabilities; and |
|
|
|
Halos ability to maintain its customers and Unifys
customers after the acquisition. |
Successful integration of Unifys operations with
Halos depends on Halos ability to manage the
combined operations, to realize opportunities for revenue growth
presented by broader product offerings and expanded geographic
coverage and to eliminate redundant and excess costs. If
Halos integration efforts are not successful, Halo may not
be able to maintain the levels of revenues, earnings or
operating efficiency that it and Unify have achieved or might
achieve separately. In addition, the unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated financial data presented in this proxy
statement/ prospectus cover periods during which Halo and Unify
were not under the same management and, therefore, may not be
indicative of Halos future financial condition or
operating results.
|
|
|
The costs of the merger and the costs of integrating
Halos and Unifys operations are substantial and will
make it more difficult for the combined company to achieve
profitability. |
Halo and Unify will incur substantial costs in connection with
the merger that may make it more difficult to achieve
profitability in the future. Halo and Unify expect that they
will incur costs associated with the merger, consisting of
transaction fees for attorneys, accountants and other related
costs in an amount currently estimated to be approximately
$645,000. In addition, we anticipate incurring
32
nonrecurring restructuring costs associated with the merger.
There is no guarantee that Halo and Unify will not, however,
incur merger related costs in excess of these amounts.
|
|
|
The price of Halo common stock may be affected by factors
different than those affecting the price of Unify common
stock. |
Holders of Unify common stock will be entitled to receive Halo
common stock in the merger and will become holders of Halo
common stock. Halos business differs in certain ways from
Unifys business, and the factors affecting Halos
results of operations, as well as the price of Halo common
stock, may be different than the factors affecting Unifys
results of operations and the price of Unify common stock. The
price of Halo common stock may fluctuate significantly following
the merger for many reasons, including as a result of factors
over which Halo has no control. For a discussion of the
businesses of Halo and Unify and certain factors to consider in
connection with their businesses, see the sections entitled
Certain Information Concerning Halo Business
of Halo, Certain Information Concerning the Merger
Sub Certain Information Concerning Unify
Description of Business and Where You Can Find More
Information beginning on pages 91, 121, 125 and 154,
respectively, of this proxy statement/ prospectus.
|
|
|
The market price of Halo common stock may decline as a
result of the merger. |
The market price of Halo common stock may decline as a result of
the merger for a number of reasons, including if:
|
|
|
|
|
the premium offered by Halo relative to Unifys stock price
on the date the merger agreement was announced is not viewed
favorably by the market; |
|
|
|
the integration of Halo and Unify is unsuccessful; |
|
|
|
Halo does not achieve the perceived benefits of the merger as
rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry
analysts; or |
|
|
|
the effects of the merger on Halos results are not
consistent with the expectations of financial or industry
analysts. |
|
|
|
The issuance of shares of Halo common stock in the merger
will result in immediate dilution of Halos outstanding
common stock. |
Upon completion of the merger, up to 14,900,000 shares of
Halo common stock will be issued or reserved for issuance to
holders of common stock and options and warrants to purchase or
acquire Unify common stock. The resulting dilution of
Halos common stock could have a negative impact the market
price for its common stock.
|
|
|
Halos relatively low trading volume may limit your
ability to sell your shares of Halo common stock received in the
merger. |
The average daily trading volume of Halos common stock was
less than 5,000 shares during the year ended
December 31, 2005. As a result of this low trading volume,
you may have difficulty selling Halo shares received in the
merger in the manner or at the price that might be attainable if
Halos common stock were more actively traded.
|
|
|
Sales of substantial amounts of Halo common stock in the
open market could depress Halos stock price. |
Sales of a large number of shares of Halo common stock in the
public market following the completion of the merger, or even
the belief that such sales could occur, could cause a drop in
the market price of Halo common stock and could impair
Halos ability to raise capital through offerings of
Halos equity securities. Based on current assumptions, we
estimate that, immediately after the merger, there will be
approximately 43,754,608 shares of Halo common stock
outstanding (assuming Halo fulfills the conditions in the merger
agreement requiring conversion of Halo preferred stock and
convertible notes into
33
Halo common stock; assuming no Unify options or warrants are
converted or exercised prior to the merger; and excluding any
shares of Halo common stock issuable in the InfoNow
acquisition). All of the shares issued to Unify stockholders
will be freely tradable without restrictions or further
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
unless such shares are held by any person who was an
affiliate of Unify prior to the merger, as that term
is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. The term affiliate would include directors
and some officers and principal stockholders of Unify.
|
|
|
Halo and Unify may waive one or more of the conditions to
the merger without resoliciting Unify stockholder approval for
the merger. |
Each of the conditions to Halos and Unifys
obligations to complete the merger may be waived, in whole or in
part, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by agreement of
Halo and Unify if the condition is a condition to both
Halos and Unifys obligation to complete the merger,
or by the party for which such conditions are a condition of its
obligation to complete the merger. Unifys board of
directors will evaluate the materiality of any such waiver to
determine whether amendment of this proxy/statement prospectus
and resolicitation of proxies is necessary. However, Halo and
Unify generally do not expect any such waiver to be significant
enough to require resolicitation of stockholders. In the event
that any such waiver is not determined to be significant enough
to require resolicitation of the stockholders, the companies
will have the discretion to complete the merger without seeking
further stockholder approval.
|
|
|
The termination fee may discourage other companies from
trying to acquire Unify. |
Under the merger agreement, Unify has agreed to pay a
termination fee of $600,000 plus expenses to Halo in particular
circumstances, including circumstances in which a third party
seeks to acquire or acquires Unify. This termination fee could
discourage other companies from trying to acquire Unify even
though those other companies might be willing to offer greater
consideration to Unify stockholders than Halo has offered in the
merger agreement. In addition, payment of the termination fee
could have a material adverse effect on Unifys financial
condition.
|
|
|
Departure of key personnel or the failure to attract
qualified employees may negatively impact the business of Halo
after the consummation of the merger. |
Halos ability to maintain its competitive position after
the consummation of the merger will depend, in large part, on
its ability to attract and retain highly qualified development,
sales, professional services and managerial personnel.
Competition for these persons is intense. While the merger will
increase Halos human resources in this area, there is
always a risk of departure of key employees due to the
combination process. The announcement of the proposed merger may
impede Halos and Unifys ability to attract and
retain personnel before and after the transaction. The loss of a
significant group of key personnel would adversely affect
Halos business efforts after the consummation of the
merger.
|
|
|
General uncertainty related to the merger could harm
Halo. |
Halos or Unifys customers may, in response to the
announcement of the proposed merger, delay or defer purchasing
decisions. If Halos or Unifys customers delay or
defer purchasing decisions, Halo and Unifys pre-and post
merger revenues could materially decline. Similarly, Halos
and Unifys employees may experience uncertainty about
their future role after the merger is completed. This may harm
Halos and Unifys ability to attract and retain key
management, sales, marketing and technical personnel. Also,
speculation regarding the likelihood of the completion of the
merger could increase the volatility of Halos stock price.
The disruption of the businesses of Halo and Unify caused by
these issues could cause quarterly and annual operating results
to be lower than expected.
34
|
|
|
Halos and Unifys officers and directors have
interests that may influence them to support or approve the
merger. |
Unify stockholders should be aware that certain members of the
Unify board of directors and management have interests in the
merger that are different from, or are in addition to, the
interests of other Unify stockholders that may make them more
likely to approve and adopt the merger agreement and approve the
merger.
The merger agreement provides that rights to indemnification,
found in Unifys certificate of incorporation and bylaws,
benefiting Unifys directors and officers, will survive the
closing of the merger. The merger agreement also provides for
the purchase of a directors and officers insurance policy for
the benefit of Unifys directors and officers.
In addition, certain executive officers of Unify are parties to
change of control severance agreements that could be triggered
if they are terminated prior to or following the merger; and
certain executive officers of Unify may continue as employees of
Halo and may receive options to purchase Halo common stock
following the merger.
It is a condition to the merger that Unifys Chief
Executive Officer, Todd Wille, enters into an employment
agreement with Halo.
Risks Related to Halos Business
References to we, us and our
throughout this Risks Related to Halos
Business section are references to Halo.
|
|
|
We have a limited operating history |
Halo 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,
Halo 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 negative working capital
and may need additional financing in the near future |
We have experienced operating losses, as well as net losses, for
each of the years during which we have operated. Halo has
incurred recurring operating losses since its inception. As of
December 31, 2005, Halo had an accumulated deficit of
approximately $70,953,000 and a working capital deficit of
$18,271,000.
Conditions may arise, including potential risks described
herein, that may require Halo 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 Halo 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, Halo
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
35
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.
|
|
|
If we fail to meet our obligations under our debt
agreements our secured lender could foreclose on our
assets. |
On August 2, 2005, Halo entered into a credit agreement (as
amended, the Fortress Credit Agreement), between
Halo, the Subsidiaries of Halo 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 Halo may borrow up to $50 million. Halo
initially borrowed $10 million, the proceeds of which were
used to pay off prior senior secured notes and a portion of
Halos subordinated indebtedness. On October 26, 2005,
in connection with the acquisitions of five enterprise software
companies, Halo 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 Halo 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 Halo 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 Halo does not meet would
result in a default under the Fortress Credit Agreement.
Moreover, Halos 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 Halos financing arrangements.
The lenders under the Fortress Credit Agreement have a security
interest in all of Halos and its subsidiaries
assets, including the stock in the subsidiaries held by Halo, An
unwaived default by Halo under the Fortress Credit Agreement
could permit the lenders thereunder to foreclose on all of the
assets of Halo, thereby causing Halo to cease doing business.
Upon such an occurrence, stockholders would lose their entire
investment in Halo.
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. |
36
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 |
Halo 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 |
Halo 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 Halo has
entered into to protect its intellectual property rights. Our
operating results could be harmed by any failure to protect our
intellectual property rights.
Halos 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 Guptas 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 Halo. There can be no assurance as to the degree to which
we will be able to successfully compete in our industry.
Halos 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 Halo or its subsidiaries
to successfully design, develop, test and introduce such new
products, or the failure of Halos 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 prospectus, there were
four employment agreements between Halo and its executive
officers.
37
|
|
|
Managing Growth and Expansion |
Halo 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 |
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.
|
|
|
Halo May be Subject from Time to Time to Certain Legal
Proceedings Which Could Be Material |
From time to time, Halo may be involved in litigation that
arises in the normal course of its business operations. As of
the date of this proxy statement/ prospectus, Halo is not a
party to any litigation that it believes could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on its business or
results of operations.
|
|
|
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 last sale 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 3a5-1,
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 purchasers 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.
38
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 Halos Acquisition Strategy
References to we, us and our
throughout this Risk Factors Related to Halos
Acquisition Strategy section are references to Halo.
|
|
|
Growth and Acquisition Risks |
One of Halos primary strategies is to pursue the
acquisition of other companies or assets that either complement
or expand its existing business. Halo completed the acquisition
of Gupta in January 2005, the acquisition of Kenosia in July
2005, and the acquisition of Tesseract and four other software
companies, DAVID, Process, ProfitKey and Foresight, in October
2005. In addition, Halo completed the acquisition of Empagio in
January 2006 and ECI in March 2006, and entered into an
agreement for the acquisition of InfoNow in December 2005. The
acquisition of Unify and InfoNow are expected to close in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. Halo has also had preliminary
acquisition discussions with, or has evaluated the potential
acquisition of, several other companies. However, Halo is unable
to predict the likelihood or timing of a material acquisition
being completed in the future.
Halo 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, Halo intends to
pursue them actively. There can be no assurance that Halo will
be able to profitably manage the addition of Gupta, Kenosia,
Tesseract, DAVID, ProfitKey, Foresight, Process, 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 Halos reported operating results,
diversion of managements 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 Halos
operations and financial performance. The expansion of
Halos operations, whether through acquisitions or internal
growth, may place substantial burdens on Halos management
resources and financial controls. There is no assurance that the
increasing burdens on Halos management resources and
financial controls will not have an adverse effect on
Halos 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
39
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
Halos Operating Subsidiaries
References to we, us and our
throughout this Additional Risk Factors Related to the
Business of Halos Operating Subsidiaries section are
references to Halo.
|
|
|
Financial Results May Vary Significantly from Quarter to
Quarter |
Halos 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 Halos products, upgrades to
Halos products, or services; |
|
|
|
fluctuations in demand for Halos products due to the
potential deteriorating economic conditions of Halos
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
Halos competitors; |
|
|
|
acquisitions or mergers involving Halos competitors or
customers; |
|
|
|
impact of changes to Halos 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 Halos
distributors or other customers; |
|
|
|
a reduction in the number of independent software vendors
(ISVs), who embed Halos products, or
value-added resellers (or VARs), who sell and deploy
Halos products; |
|
|
|
changes in the mix of domestic and international sales; |
|
|
|
impact of changes to Halos geographic investment levels
and business models; |
|
|
|
gains or losses associated with discontinued operations; and |
|
|
|
changes in Halos business plan or strategy. |
Halos revenue growth and profitability depend on the
overall demand for Halos 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 Halos ability to sell its products and services is
uncertain. A softening of demand for Halos 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 Halos expenses are not variable in
the short term and cannot be quickly reduced to respond to
decreases in revenues. Therefore, if Halos revenues are
below expectations, Halos operating results are likely to
be adversely and disproportionately affected. In addition, Halo
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
40
opportunities. Any one of these activities may further limit
Halos ability to adjust spending in response to revenue
fluctuations.
|
|
|
Seasonality May Contribute to Fluctuations in Halos
Quarterly Operating Results |
Halos 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.
|
|
|
Halo Currently Operates Without a Backlog |
Halo generally operates with virtually no order backlog because
Halos 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
Halo Products May Not be Successful |
Brand awareness is important given competition in the markets
where Halo 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 Halos customers applications to other
databases and/or programming languages or development
suites. We expect that it may be difficult or impossible to
prevent third-party usage of Halos 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 Halo brand names may cause
confusion among actual and potential customers, which could
prevent Halo from achieving significant brand recognition. If we
fail to promote and maintain the Halo brand or incur significant
related expenses, Halos business, operating results and
financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
|
|
|
Halo must succeed in the Cross Platform Application
Development Market if it is to Realize the Expected Benefits of
its Linux Development |
Halos 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 Halo 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 Halos 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 Halo customers the new technology will provide
greater integration throughout the enterprise; and |
|
|
|
creating key alliances. |
41
In addition, Halos success in these markets will depend on
several factors, many of which are outside Halos control
including:
|
|
|
|
|
General adoption of Web services as the preferred method of
integrating data and applications; and |
|
|
|
Halos 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, Halos business
may be harmed and we may be prevented from realizing the
anticipated benefits of Halos cross platform strategy.
|
|
|
Halo May Face Problems in Connection With Contractual or
Licensing Arrangements |
Halo is a party to certain offshore development, consulting, and
services agreements, pursuant to which Halo receives quality
assurance testing and certain enhancements to Halos
products. Halos 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, Halo has licensed technology from and entered into
services agreements with other software development companies.
The licensed technology and services enhance Halos
products, and assist in the design, development, testing and
deployment of certain of Halos software products. We
cannot be certain that the market acceptance or demand for these
new products will meet our expectations.
|
|
|
Halo May Face Problems in Connection With Product Line
Expansion |
In the future, Halo may acquire, license or develop additional
products. Future product line expansion may require Halo to
modify or expand its business. If Halo is unable to fully
integrate new products with its existing operations, Halo 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 Halos Billings |
The loss of a major distributor, changes in a distributors
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
Halos business, operating results and financial condition.
Many of Halos ISVs, VARs and end users place their orders
through distributors. A relatively small number of distributors
have accounted for a significant percentage of Halos
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 Halo. Halo 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 Halo. Halos
distributors have not agreed to any minimum order requirements.
|
|
|
Halo Depends on an Indirect Sales Channel |
Halos 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 Halos
business, financial condition and operating results. Halo
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. Halos 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 Halos products based on
Halos supported platforms; |
|
|
|
pressures placed on the sales channel to sell competing products; |
42
|
|
|
|
|
Halos failure to adequately support the sales channel; |
|
|
|
consolidation of certain of Halos indirect channel
partners; |
|
|
|
competing product lines offered by certain of Halos
indirect channel partners; and |
|
|
|
business model or licensing model changes of Halos channel
partners or their competitors. |
We cannot be certain Halo will be able to continue to attract
additional indirect channel partners or retain its current
channel partners. In addition, we cannot be certain that
Halos competitors will not attempt to recruit certain of
Halos current or future channel partners. This may have an
adverse effect on Halos ability to attract and retain
channel partners.
|
|
|
Halo May Not Be Able to Develop Strategic
Relationships |
Halos 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
Halos business, operating results and financial condition.
From time to time, Halo has collaborated with other companies in
areas such as product development, marketing, distribution and
implementation. However, many of Halos current and
potential strategic relationships are with either actual or
potential competitors. In addition, many of Halos current
relationships are informal or, if written, terminable with
little or no notice.
|
|
|
Halo Depends on Third-Party Technology in Its
Products |
Halo relies upon certain software that it licenses from third
parties, including software integrated with Halos
internally developed software and used in Halos products
to perform key functions. These third-party software licenses
may not continue to be available to Halo on commercially
reasonable terms. In addition, some of Halos 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 Halo develops, identifies, licenses and integrates
equivalent software. Any delay in product development or
shipment could damage Halos business, operating results
and financial condition.
|
|
|
We May be Unable to Protect Halos Intellectual
Property and Proprietary Rights |
Halos success depends to a significant degree upon our
ability to protect Halos 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 Halos
proprietary rights. However, these measures afford us only
limited protection. Furthermore, Halo 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, Halo 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 Halos intellectual
property may not be adequate. We cannot be certain that others
will not develop technologies that are similar or superior to
Halos technology or design around the copyrights and trade
secrets owned by Halo. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy
aspects of Halos 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 Halos software products occurs. In addition,
portions of Halos 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 Halos industry segment continues to grow
and the functionality of products in different industry segments
increasingly overlaps. Additionally, the fact that some of
Halos 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
43
delays or the loss or deferral of sales or require Halo 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 Halo, should we
fail or be unable to either license the technology or similar
technology or develop alternative technology on a timely basis,
Halos business, operating results and financial condition
could be materially adversely affected.
|
|
|
Halo Must Adapt to Rapid Technological Change |
Halos 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 Halos 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 such new releases or significant
problems in the installation or implementation of such new
releases could have a material adverse effect on Halos
business, operating results and financial condition. Halo has
experienced delays in the past in the release of new products
and new product enhancements. Halo 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. |
|
|
|
Halos Software May Contain Errors or Defects |
Errors or defects in Halos products may result in loss of
revenues or delay in market acceptance, and could materially
adversely affect Halos business, operating results and
financial condition. Software products such as Halos may
contain errors, sometimes called bugs, particularly
when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are
released. From time to time, Halo discovers software errors in
certain of its new products after their introduction. Despite
testing, current versions, new versions or enhancements of
Halos 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.
|
|
|
Halo May Become Subject to Product or Professional
Services Liability Claims |
A product or professional services liability claim, whether or
not successful, could damage Halos reputation and
business, operating results and financial condition. Halos
license and service agreements with its customers typically
contain provisions designed to limit Halos 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.
|
|
|
Halo Competes with Microsoft while Simultaneously
Supporting Microsoft Technologies |
Halo 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 Halo. As a
result, Halo may not be able to compete
44
effectively with Microsoft now or in the future, and Halos
business, operating results and financial condition may be
materially adversely affected.
We expect that Microsofts 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 Halos channel partners.
We believe Halo must maintain a working relationship with
Microsoft to achieve success. Many of Halos customers use
Microsoft-based operating platforms. Thus it is critical to
Halos success that Halos products be closely
integrated with Microsoft technologies. Notwithstanding
Halos historical and current support of Microsoft
platforms, Microsoft may in the future promote technologies and
standards more directly competitive with or not compatible with
Halos technology.
|
|
|
Halo Faces Significant Competition From Other
Companies |
Halo encounters competition for its embedded database products
primarily from large, public companies, including Microsoft,
Oracle, Sybase, IBM, Progress, Pervasive Software, and Borland.
In particular, Sybases small memory footprint database
software product, Adaptive Server Anywhere, and Microsofts
product, SQL Server, directly compete with Halos products.
There are 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, Halo 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 Halos business as interest, demand
and use increases in the database segment and poses a challenge
to Halos business model, 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, Halos 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 Halos products may decline, Halo may have to
reduce prices it charges for its products, and Halos
revenue and operating margins may decline. Mass adoption of open
source databases in the SME market could have a material adverse
impact on Halos database business.
Application service providers (ASPs) may enter Halos
market and could cause a change in revenue models from licensing
of client/server and Web-based applications to renting
applications. Halos competitors may be more successful
than it is in adopting these revenue models and capturing
related market share.
In addition, Halo competes or may compete against database
vendors that currently offer, or may develop, products with
functionalities that compete with Halos 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 Halos products or those of its
competitors.
45
Most of Halos 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, Halos 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 Halos 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 Halos 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 Halos business. We cannot be certain Halo
will be able to compete successfully against current and future
competitors or that the competitive pressures Halo faces will
not materially adversely affect Halos business, operating
results and financial condition.
|
|
|
Halo is Susceptible to a Shift in the Market for Client/
Server Applications toward Server based thin client or Web-Based
Applications |
Halo 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. Halo 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 Halos product line
has achieved market acceptance for use in Web-based
applications. In addition, we cannot be certain that Halos
existing client/server developers will migrate to Web-based
applications and continue to use Halos products or that
other developers of Web-based applications would select
Halos 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 Halos business, operating
results and financial condition.
|
|
|
Halo Depends on International Sales and Operations |
We anticipate that for the foreseeable future Halo will derive a
significant portion of its revenues from sources outside North
America. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, Halo
derived more than 60% of its revenues outside North America.
Halos international operations are generally subject to a
number of risks. These risks include:
|
|
|
|
|
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; |
46
|
|
|
|
|
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. |
Halo may expand or modify its operations internationally.
Despite Halos 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 Halos business, operating results and
financial condition. Even if Halo successfully expands or
modifies its international operations, Halo may be unable to
maintain or increase international market demand for its
products.
We expect Halos 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 Halos Business |
To date, the majority of Halos transactions have been
denominated in U.S. dollars. However, the majority of
Halos international operating expenses and substantially
all of its international sales have been denominated in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Therefore,
Halos operating results may be adversely affected by
changes in the value of the U.S. dollar. Certain of
Halos international sales are denominated in
U.S. dollars, especially in Europe. Any strengthening of
the U.S. dollar against the currencies of countries where
Halo sells products denominated in U.S. dollars will
increase the relative cost of Halos products and could
negatively impact its sales in those countries. To the extent
Halos 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 Halos business, results of operations or
financial condition in future periods.
|
|
|
Halo Must Continue to Hire and Retain Skilled
Personnel |
Halos 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. Halos efforts to attract and retain highly
skilled employees could be harmed by its past or any future
workforce reductions. Halos 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 Halo can generate revenue and develop
new products or product enhancements. This could have a material
adverse effect on Halos business, operating results and
financial condition.

Matters to be Considered at the Special Meeting
At the special meeting, stockholders of Unify will be asked to
(1) consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the merger
agreement, (2) consider and vote on a proposal to authorize
the proxy holders to vote to adjourn or postpone the special
meeting, in their sole discretion, for the purpose of soliciting
additional votes for the adoption of the merger agreement, and
(3) transact such other business as may properly come
before the special meeting or any postponements or adjournments
of the special meeting. Adoption of the merger agreement will
also constitute approval of the merger and the other
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
48
Shares Entitled to Vote
Unifys board of directors has fixed the close of business
on ,
2006 as the record date for determination of Unify stockholders
entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting. As of
the close of business
on ,
2006, there
were shares
of Unify common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, held of
record by
approximately stockholders.
Quorum
The presence of a majority of Unify common stock entitled to
vote, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute
a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is not
present, it is expected that the special meeting will be
adjourned or postponed to solicit additional proxies.
Voting Rights; Vote Required for Approval
Each Unify stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of
Unify common stock held as of the record date. Adoption of the
merger agreement by Unifys stockholders is required by
Delaware law. Such adoption requires the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the shares of Unify common stock
outstanding on the record date and entitled to vote at the
special meeting. Authorizing the proxy holders to vote to
adjourn or postpone the special meeting for the purpose of
soliciting additional votes for the adoption of the merger
agreement will require the affirmative vote of Unify
stockholders representing a majority of the shares of Unify
common stock present and entitled to vote at the special meeting.
Voting of Proxies; Revocation of Proxies
If you vote your shares of Unify common stock by signing and
returning the enclosed proxy in the enclosed prepaid and
addressed envelope, your shares, unless your proxy is revoked,
will be voted at the special meeting as you indicate on your
proxy. If no instructions are indicated on your signed proxy
card, your shares will be voted FOR adoption of the
merger agreement and authorization of the proxy holders to vote
for the adjournment or postponement of the special meeting for
the purpose of soliciting additional votes.
You are urged to mark the box on the proxy card, following the
instructions included on your proxy card, to indicate how to
vote your shares. If your shares are held in an account at a
brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct such institution on
how to vote your shares. Your broker or bank will vote your
shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote by
following the information provided to you by your broker or
bank. If you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee,
they will not be able to vote your shares and such vote will be
recorded as a vote against the merger.
You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to its use by
delivering to the Secretary of Unify, at Unifys offices at
2101 Arena Boulevard, Suite 100, Sacramento, California
95834, a signed notice of revocation bearing a date later than
the date of the proxy stating that the proxy is revoked, by
granting a duly executed new, signed proxy bearing a later date,
or if you are a holder of record by attending the special
meeting and voting in person (although, attendance at the
special meeting does not in itself constitute the revocation of
a proxy). If you hold your shares in street name,
you must get a proxy from your broker, bank or other custodian
to vote your shares in person at the special meeting.
Certain Beneficial Owners; Voting Agreement
Unifys board of directors, executive officers and their
affiliates, who collectively beneficially own approximately 6%
of the outstanding shares of Unify common stock as of the record
date, expect to vote their shares FOR adoption of
the merger agreement. In addition, holders who beneficially own
approximately 33% of the outstanding shares of Unify common
stock as of the record date have agreed to vote their shares
FOR adoption of the merger agreement.
49
Other Business
Unifys board of directors does not presently intend to
bring any other business before the special meeting and, so far
as is presently known to Unifys board of directors, no
other matters are to be brought before the special meeting. As
to any business that may properly come before the special
meeting, however, it is intended that proxies, in the form
enclosed, will be voted in respect of such business in
accordance with the judgment of the proxy holders voting such
proxies.
Quorum; Broker Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes
The required quorum for the transaction of business at the
special meeting is a majority of the shares of Unify common
stock issued and outstanding on the record date. Abstentions and
broker non-votes each will be included in determining the number
of shares present and voting at the meeting for the purpose of
determining the presence of a quorum. Because adoption of the
merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of a majority of
the outstanding shares of Unify common stock entitled to vote,
abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as
votes against adoption of the merger agreement. Abstentions and
broker non-votes also will have the same effect as votes against
the authorization of the proxy holders to vote to adjourn or
postpone the special meeting for the purpose of soliciting
additional votes. In addition, the failure of a Unify
stockholder to return a proxy will have the effect of a vote
against the adoption of the merger agreement.
The actions proposed in this proxy statement/ prospectus are not
matters that can be voted on by brokers holding shares for
beneficial owners without the owners specific
instructions. If you do not instruct your broker, bank or other
nominee, they will not be able to vote your shares, such failure
to vote is a broker non-vote. Accordingly, if a broker or bank
holds your shares you are urged to instruct your broker or bank
on how to vote your shares.
Expenses of Solicitation
Halo will pay 50% of the costs of printing and distributing this
proxy statement/ prospectus for the special meeting and Unify
will bear 50% of those costs. Halo and Unify will pay their own
costs incurred in connection with preparing this proxy
statement/ prospectus and Halo will pay the SEC registration
fee. In addition to solicitation by mail, directors, officers
and regular employees of Unify or its subsidiaries may solicit
proxies from stockholders by telephone, telegram,
e-mail, personal
interview or other means. Halo and Unify currently expect not to

receive additional compensation for their solicitation
activities, but may be reimbursed for reasonable out of pocket
expenses incurred by them in connection with the solicitation.
Brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies,
fiduciaries, custodians and other nominees have been requested
to forward proxy solicitation materials to their customers and
such nominees will be reimbursed for their reasonable out of
pocket expenses.

THE MERGER
This section of the proxy statement/ prospectus describes
material aspects of the merger. While Halo and Unify believe
that the description covers the material terms of the merger and
the related transactions, this summary does not contain all of
the information that is important to you. You should carefully
read this entire proxy statement/ prospectus, the attached
annexes, and the other documents to which this proxy statement/
prospectus refers, for a more complete understanding of the
merger.
General Description of the Merger
At the effective time of the merger, UCA Merger Sub, Inc. will
merge with and into Unify. Upon completion of the merger, the
separate corporate existence of UCA Merger Sub, Inc. will cease
and Unify will continue as the surviving entity.
As a result of the merger, each share of Unify common stock
outstanding at the effective time of the merger will be
converted automatically into 0.437 shares of Halo common
stock. The merger consideration is more fully described in the
sections entitled The Merger Agreement Merger
Consideration; Stock Payment and ; Common Stock
Options and Warrants beginning on page 78, respectively,
of this proxy statement/ prospectus and in the merger agreement,
which is attached to this proxy statement/ prospectus as
Annex A.
The exchange ratio is subject to adjustment to reflect the
effects of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
extraordinary stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like
change in the outstanding common stock of Halo or Unify.
The merger is expected to qualify for U.S. federal income
tax purposes as a reorganization within the meaning
in Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. See the section entitled Material
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger
beginning on page 72 of this proxy statement/ prospectus.
Background of the Merger
For a number of years, Unifys board of directors and
senior management have periodically reviewed changes and
developments in the enterprise software industry and
Unifys strategic position. In the course of this review,
Unifys board of directors and management explored various
potential strategic alternatives to improve Unifys
strategic position and increase stockholder value.
One of these alternatives was the acquisition, on
February 3, 2005, of Acuitrek, Inc. as a result of a shift
in Unifys revenue growth strategy to an application
solution orientation. The Acuitrek acquisition, which became the
centerpiece of Unifys Insurance Risk Management
(IRM) division, promised great potential with an
underserved specialty market, a strong, functionally-rich
application, and 10 customers. During the first twelve months,
the IRM division has generated revenue growth for Unify, but as
Acuitrek was a young company, significant investments were
required resulting in net losses for the IRM division since its
creation.
On August 25, 2005, Unifys board of directors met and
reviewed Unifys strategic plan for both its long-time
Unify Business Solutions (UBS) and IRM divisions.
Management discussed the revenue assumptions for each division
including the expectation that the UBS revenues would continue
to decline at a rate consistent with the decline over the last
three fiscal years. The IRM division, however, was expected to
generate significant revenue growth and break even results, and
management noted that the market appeared to be validating the
IRM value proposition.
On September 12, 2005, Halo entered into an agreement to
acquire DAVID Corporation, a claims management vendor, and made
a public announcement regarding the acquisition agreement.
Thereafter, Todd Wille, President and CEO of Unify, contacted
Halo to discuss the possibility of Unify acquiring DAVID
Corporation.
52
On September 26, 2005, Ron Bienvenu, Halos Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer, forwarded a nondisclosure agreement
to Todd Wille so that Mr. Bienvenu and Mr. Wille could
begin a dialog regarding the acquisition of DAVID Corporation by
Unify. This nondisclosure agreement was executed and returned by
Mr. Wille on September 28, 2005.
On October 3, 2005, Todd Wille contacted Ron Bienvenu to
discuss the possibility of acquiring DAVID Corporation.
Mr. Bienvenu stated that Halo was not interested in selling
DAVID, but that after reviewing Unifys SEC filings and
website, it was Mr. Bienvenus belief that Unify might
be a very good strategic fit with Halo and Halo was interested
in exploring an acquisition of Unify. Mr. Bienvenu
explained to Mr. Wille Halos valuation models and its
general valuation of Unify, but no understanding was reached
regarding a purchase price or other terms.
During October and November of 2005, Unify continued to pursue
its business plan of growing the IRM division through internal
growth and potential acquisitions of claims administration
vendors. During this period, Unify had informal discussions with
over fifteen claims administration vendors. However, once
Unifys second quarter financial results were published,
management believed that it was becoming increasingly difficult
to generate interest in an acquisition.
On November 15, 2005, Unifys board of directors held
a regularly scheduled meeting and discussed Unifys
business and financial plan, including its business model and
related assumptions, the competitive environment, the decline in
UBS revenues and projected losses for the IRM division. For the
six months ended October 31, 2005, the actual UBS revenue
decline was 11%. Management noted that this decline plus the
impact of the net losses from the IRM division put significant
strain on Unifys financial model and resources. The
statement of cash flows for the six months ended
October 31, 2005 showed a decline in cash of over
$1,000,000. Based on Unifys financial performance, the
board had lengthy discussions regarding the potential need for
additional financing and the anticipated difficulty of finding
funding sources with the performance to date. The Unify board of
directors also discussed the possibility of a sale of or some
type of strategic investment in Unify, including the strategic
rationale for each and including the benefits, opportunities,
risks and uncertainties associated with Unify remaining an
independent company. Mr. Wille informed the Unify board of
directors, among other things, of his discussions with Halo and
other potential strategic alternatives. The Unify board of
directors instructed Mr. Wille to continue discussions with
Halo exploring a possible business combination or other
strategic relationship.
From November 2005 through January 2006, Unify informally
contacted multiple parties regarding a potential investment in
Unify or acquisition of certain of the Unify product lines or
even the company as a whole. While there was some interest in
acquiring the NXJ product line (part of Unifys UBS product
suite), no additional parties contacted expressed interest in
pursuing an acquisition of Unify as a company or a financing
transaction for Unify. In late December 2005, an enterprise
software company sent an inquiry to Unify. Unify responded to
the inquiry of the interested party, referred to as
Buyer B. On January 31, 2006, Unify conducted an
initial discussion with Buyer B, providing an overview of
Unify with Buyer B providing an overview as well.
In December 2005 and January 2006, Halo and Unify had multiple
discussions (both in person and by teleconference) regarding the
potential business combination of Halo and Unify.
On December 14, 2005, Halos board of directors held a
regularly scheduled meeting where Halos management updated
the Halo board of directors on the status of discussions with
Unify. Halos management discussed the strategic reasons
for a possible combination, outlined potential financial risks
and benefits resulting from an acquisition of Unify, and the
synergies offered by Unifys products and customers with
those of Halos Gupta and DAVID subsidiaries. Halos
management and board also reviewed the possible risks and
uncertainties of an acquisition by Halo of Unify. After
discussion, the Halo board of directors authorized continued
discussions with Unify regarding a potential transaction.
On January 27, 2006, Unify received an indication of
interest from Halo regarding the possible acquisition of Unify.
After multiple discussions, Unify received an updated summary of
proposed terms from Halo regarding the possible acquisition of
Unify on February 3, 2006. Unify circulated and discussed
53
the proposal with representatives of its legal counsel, DLA
Piper Rudnick Gray Cary, as well as informally with each member
of the Unify board.
On February 7, 2006, Mr. Bienvenu and Jude Sullivan,
Director of Mergers & Acquisitions and Business
Development for Halo, met with Unify to present information
about Halo, its business operations, strategy and financial
history and outlook, and answered questions about Halo and its
proposal for Unify. After lengthy discussions, Halo provided
Unify an updated summary of proposed terms from Halo regarding
the possible acquisition of Unify on February 9, 2006.
On February 8, 2006, Buyer B requested certain revenue
and other financial information which Unify provided shortly
thereafter.
On February 14, 2006, Mr. Bienvenu, Mr. Sullivan
and Mark Finkel, Halos Chief Financial Officer, under an
executed non-disclosure agreement, met with representatives of
Special Situations Funds (SSF), Unifys largest stockholder
to present information about Halo, its business operations,
strategy and financial history and outlook, and answered
questions about Halo and its proposal to acquire Unify. From
February 14, 2006 until execution of the merger agreement,
Halo management had additional direct contact with
representatives of SSF for the purpose of negotiating a funding
commitment from SSF for an equity investment into Halo.
On February 16, 2006, Unifys board of directors held
a regularly scheduled meeting where management updated the Unify
board of directors on the status of discussions with Halo and
reviewed the Halo corporate presentation with the board as an
overview. At the meeting, Unifys board of directors also
reviewed with management Unifys financial condition and
prospects for the remainder of fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007 and a
discussion of strategic alternatives available to Unify,
including other companies that could be interested parties.
Management and the board also discussed the benefits,
opportunities, risks and uncertainties associated with Unify
remaining an independent company, as well as the merits of a
possible business combination transaction with Halo. After
discussion, the Unify board of directors authorized continued
discussions with Halo regarding a potential offer.
On February 17, 2006, Unify received an updated summary of
proposed terms from Halo regarding the possible acquisition of
Unify. Unify subsequently requested that Halo submit a final
indication of interest detailing the possible terms of a
transaction between Halo and Unify for Unifys board of
directors to review and consider.
On February 23, 2006, after reviewing the financial
information provided by Unify, Buyer B informed Unify that
Unify was not a strategic fit and they would not be submitting
an acquisition offer.
On February 28, 2006, Halo provided a draft merger
agreement to Unify detailing the terms that had been generally
described in its most recent indication of interest. Halo also
communicated to Unify that its offer was based on the
satisfaction of certain contingencies including lender and board
approval.
On February 28, 2006, Unifys board of directors held
a meeting to evaluate the possible business combination with
Halo. At the meeting, management updated the Unify board of
directors on the status of negotiations with Halo.
Representatives of DLA Piper discussed the process of evaluating
and acquisition and recommended that Unify obtain a fairness
opinion in connection with this evaluation. The board discussed
the proposed business combination with Halo and requested
Mr. Wille to hire a financial advisor to advise the board
on the fairness of the consideration being offered. At the
meeting, Unifys board of directors also reviewed the
merits of a possible business combination transaction with Halo.
After discussion, the Unify board of directors authorized
continued negotiations with Halo to finalize the draft merger
agreement.
In January and February, Halos management informed members
of Halos board of the status of the ongoing acquisition
discussions with Unify.
On March 1, 2 and 3, 2006, Halo met with certain
members of Unifys senior management team. Both Halo and
Unify conducted financial, operational and legal due diligence
which continued until the parties signed the merger agreement on
March 14, 2006. During that time, Halo and Unify and their
54
respective legal advisors had extensive negotiations in meetings
and conversations regarding the terms of the draft merger
agreement including, among others, final consideration, closing
conditions and final disclosure schedules.
On March 3, 2006, Unifys board of directors held a
meeting to evaluate the possible business combination with Halo.
At the meeting, management updated the Unify board of directors
on the status of negotiations with Halo and the results of the
Halo due diligence of Unify to date. The board discussed the
proposed business combination with Halo and Halo due diligence.
At the meeting, Unifys board of directors also reviewed
potential strategic alternatives available to Unify, including
the benefits, opportunities, risks and uncertainties associated
with Unify remaining an independent company, as well as the
merits of a possible business combination transaction with Halo.
After discussion, the Unify board of directors authorized
continued negotiations with Halo to finalize the draft merger
agreement.
On March 6 and 7, 2006, Unify met with certain members of
Halos senior management. Unify conducted financial,
operational and legal due diligence which continued until the
boards approved the merger agreement on March 10,
2006. During that time, Halo and Unify and their respective
legal and financial advisors had extensive discussions regarding
Halos capital structure, twelve month cash flow
projections and operating plan and an in depth review of
Halos long-term business model and expected shareholder
value creation.
On March 10, 2006, Unifys board of directors met to
discuss the rationale, opportunities, benefits, prospects, risks
and disadvantages associated with the proposed transaction with
Halo and continuing as an independent company. Representatives
from DLA Piper were present at the meeting and provided an
update of the status of certain legal due diligence on Halo as
well as an overview of the terms of the proposed transaction
with Halo and the status of the merger agreement.
Representatives from DLA Piper also reviewed the boards
legal duties and fiduciary obligations and other considerations
regarding the proposed business combination transaction.
Unifys board of directors again considered whether
accepting Halos offer or continuing as an independent
company would best maximize stockholder value. Management
presented a description of the mechanics of the merger
consideration, an overview of Halo and its financial
performances and capitalization. Douglas, Curtis &
Allyn LLC (DCA), provided its financial analysis regarding the
proposed business combination transaction, and rendered to the
Unify board of directors its oral opinion, subsequently
confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated March 10,
2006, to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion and
based on and subject to the various assumptions and limitations
described in the opinion, the merger consideration to be
received by Unify stockholders pursuant to the merger agreement
(which on that date was proposed to be 0.43 shares of Halo
common stock for each share of Unify common stock) was fair from
a financial point of view to such holders. Such opinion is
attached hereto as Annex B (see the section entitled
Opinion of Douglas Curtis & Allyn LLC
beginning on page 59 of this proxy statement/ prospectus).
After deliberation, Unifys board of directors determined,
among other things, that the merger agreement and the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the
merger, are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of,
Unify and its stockholders, and authorized Mr. Wille to attempt
to negotiate an increase in the merger exchange ratio. The Unify
board of directors then approved the merger agreement and
resolved to recommend to Unify stockholders the approval and
adoption of the merger agreement. Due to a financial interest in
the investment in Unify by Special Situations Funds and their
possible investment in Halo, director Robert J. Majteles
abstained from voting on the proposed merger. Later that day,
Halo increased the exchange ratio to 0.437.
On March 10, 2006, Halos board of directors, with one
director absent, after consideration of the opportunity
including its risks and benefits, approved the merger agreement
and the consummation of the merger in accordance with the terms
outlined by Halos management team.
On March 14, 2006, Unify, UCA Merger Sub, Inc. and Halo
executed the merger agreement. Thereafter, on March 14,
2006, Unify and Halo issued a joint press release announcing the
transaction.
55
Halos Reasons for the Merger
The Halo board of directors believes that the Unify merger is
fair to, and in the best interest of, Halos stockholders
and, with one director not present at the meeting at which
action was taken, voted to unanimously approve the merger and
the issuance of Halo common stock to the Unify stockholders.
In reaching its decision, in addition to the anticipated joint
benefits described above, the Halo board of directors consulted
with Halos management, and considered, among others, the
following information and potential material factors:
|
|
|
|
|
the compatibility of Unifys products and services with
Halos technology, products and risk management solutions
and software as a service enterprise solutions
business strategy; |
|
|
|
the economics of the software solutions industry, and the belief
of the Halo board and management team that greater product
variety and company size will increasingly be required for
companies to compete successfully; |
|
|
|
the belief that the combination of Unifys technology,
products and services with Halos products, services and
sales and marketing infrastructure should enable the combined
company to expand the range of products and services offered to
the combined companys customers and increase sales; |
|
|
|
the Halo boards belief that the addition of Unifys
operations to Halo could possibly increase the overall value and
profitability of Halo; |
|
|
|
information concerning Halos and Unifys respective
businesses, historical financial performance and condition,
operations, technology, products, customers, competitive
positions, prospects and management; |
|
|
|
current financial market conditions and the historical market
prices and trading information of Halo common stock and Unify
common stock; |
|
|
|
the financial and other terms of the merger, including the
relationship between the market value of Halo common stock and
Unify common stock; |
|
|
|
the belief that the terms of the merger agreement, including the
parties representations, warranties and covenants, and the
conditions to their respective obligations, are fair and
reasonable; |
|
|
|
the likelihood that the merger would be completed, including the
limited conditions to the closing of the merger, as well as the
experience and reputation of Unify; |
|
|
|
Halo managements view of the financial condition, results
of operations and businesses of Halo and Unify before and after
giving effect to the merger and Halo managements and the
board of directors view of the mergers potential
effect on stockholder value; |
|
|
|
the potential impact of the merger on strategic partners,
customers and employees of Halo and Unify; |
|
|
|
the likely reaction to the merger in the financial
markets; and |
|
|
|
the results of the due diligence investigation of Unify. |
The Halo board of directors considered various alternatives to
the merger, including alternative acquisitions and directly
competing with Unify in its markets. The Halo board of directors
also identified and considered a variety of potentially negative
factors in its deliberations concerning the merger, including,
but not limited to:
|
|
|
|
|
the possibility that the potential benefits set forth above may
not be fully realized; |
|
|
|
the substantial costs of integrating the businesses of Halo and
Unify and the transaction expenses arising from the merger; |
56
|
|
|
|
|
the difficulty of integrating Unify with Halos existing
development tools and risk management operating spheres and the
management effort required to complete the integration; |
|
|
|
the risk that the premium offered relative to Unifys stock
price at the time the merger agreement was executed may not be
viewed favorably by the market; |
|
|
|
the effect of the public announcement of the merger on
Unifys customer relations; |
|
|
|
certain risks applicable to the merger and the business of the
combined company as set forth under Risk Factors
beginning on page 29; and |
|
|
|
the possibility that the merger might not be consummated,
resulting in a potential adverse effect on the market price of
the Halo common stock. |
The Halo board of directors concluded that certain of these
risks could be managed or mitigated or were unlikely to have a
material impact on Halo or the merger, and that, on balance, the
potential benefits of the merger outweighed the risks of the
merger.
The foregoing discussion of the information and factors
considered by the Halo board of directors is not intended to be
exhaustive but is believed to include the material factors
considered by the Halo board of directors in connection with its
review of the proposed merger. In view of the variety of
factors, both positive and negative, considered, the Halo board
did not find it practical to, and did not, quantify or otherwise
assign relative weight to the specific factors considered.
Rather, the Halo board viewed its position and recommendations
as being based on the totality of the information presented to,
and considered by, the board. In addition, individual members of
the Halo board may have given different weight to different
factors.
Based on the above-described analysis, the Halo board of
directors has determined that the terms of the merger and the
merger agreement are fair to, and in the best interests of, the
Halo stockholders.
Unifys Reasons for the Merger
After careful consideration, Unifys board of directors
approved the merger agreement and determined that the merger
agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement, including the merger are advisable, fair to, and in
the best interests of, Unify and its stockholders. In reaching
this decision, Unifys board of directors consulted with
senior management, independent financial advisors and legal
counsel.
The decision of Unifys board of directors to enter into
the merger agreement was the result of careful consideration
over a number of months by the Unifys board of directors
of a number of factors, including the following positive factors:
|
|
|
|
|
the value of the merger consideration represents a premium of
approximately 65% over the last reported sales price per share
for Unifys common stock as reported on the Over the
Counter Bulletin Board on March 13, 2006, the last trading
day for Unifys common stock prior to the announcement of
the merger; |
|
|
|
Unify stockholders will retain the ability to hold stock in a
larger and more diversified technology holding company; |
|
|
|
the financial presentations of Unifys financial advisors,
DCA, including their opinion as to the fairness, from a
financial point of view, of the merger consideration to be paid
to Unify stockholders pursuant to the merger agreement, as more
fully described in the section entitled The
Merger Opinion of Douglas Curtis & Allyn
LLC beginning on page 59 of this proxy statement/
prospectus; |
|
|
|
Unifys board of directors analysis and understanding
of Unifys stand-alone strategic alternative in
the context of the increasingly competitive market for database
and development tool products, and Unifys board of
directors analysis of the business, operations, financial
performance, earnings and prospects for Unify on a stand-alone
basis, and Unifys board of directors belief, based
on its |
57
|
|
|
|
|
analysis and understanding, that the combined company would best
maximize value for Unifys shareholders in light of the
risks and potential rewards associated with Unify continuing to
operate on a stand-alone basis; |
|
|
|
Unifys board of directors evaluation of Unifys
financial performance and future opportunities and prospects,
including the risks related to achieving these prospects and
current industry, economic and market conditions, including the
recognition that Unify has experienced declining revenues and
net losses; |
|
|
|
the risk that the trading price of Unify stock may decline
further; |
|
|
|
the fact that Unify had reviewed potential strategic
alternatives as described in the section entitled The
Merger Background of the Merger beginning on
page 51 of this proxy statement/ prospectus. In this
process, no party expressed interest in pursuing a financing
transaction, and two potential acquirers were identified.
Ultimately, one of the potentially interested parties dropped
out of the process. In light of these developments, Unifys
board of directors considered the risk of losing the sole
potential transaction; |
|
|
|
Unifys board of directors belief there are synergies
likely to result in combining Unifys business with two of
Halos subsidiaries, Gupta and DAVID, and the ability to
spread certain redundant costs associated with operating Unify
as a separate public company, including duplicative corporate
functions and accounting and legal fees associated with SEC
reporting, over a broader base of portfolio companies; |
|
|
|
the opportunity for Unify stockholders to participate, as Halo
stockholders, in a larger and more diversified company with
diversified partnership opportunities and significant cash flow; |
|
|
|
the opportunity for Unify to have access to significantly
greater financial and operational resources as part of Halo than
Unify would otherwise have on a stand-alone basis; |
|
|
|
Unifys board of directors understanding of the
information concerning Unifys and Halos respective
businesses, financial performance, and condition, operations,
capitalization and stock performance; |
|
|
|
Unify will not be obligated to consummate the merger unless Halo
receives $2 million of new equity financing and Halo
successfully converts all of its preferred stock and the
majority of its convertible debt to common stock, as described
in the sections entitled The Merger Agreement
Conditions to the Merger beginning on page 82 of this
proxy statement/ prospectus; |
|
|
|
the merger agreement provisions permitting Unify to engage in
discussions with a third party that makes an unsolicited bona
fide proposal to engage in a business combination or other
transaction, provided that Unifys board of directors
determines in good faith, after consulting with outside counsel,
that there is a reasonable probability that failure to take such
action would result in Unifys board of directors breaching
its fiduciary duties under applicable law and determines in good
faith, after receiving the advice from its legal advisor, that
the proposal reasonably would be expected to result in a
transaction that, if consummated, would be more favorable to
Unify stockholders than the merger with Halo (see the section
entitled The Merger Agreement No
Solicitation beginning on page 84 of this proxy
statement/ prospectus); |
|
|
|
the merger agreement provisions permitting Unifys board of
directors to, under certain circumstances, withdraw, modify or
change its recommendation with respect to the merger if
Unifys board of directors determines in good faith, after
consulting with its outside counsel, that there is a reasonable
probability that the failure to take such action would result in
the Unifys board of directors breaching its fiduciary
duties under applicable law (see the section entitled The
Merger Agreement No Solicitation beginning on
page 84 of this proxy statement/ prospectus); |
58
|
|
|
|
|
the structure of the transaction and the terms of the merger
agreement, including the fact that the merger should qualify as
a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of the Internal
Revenue Code, as amended, meaning the merger is not expected to
be taxable to Unify stockholders; |
|
|
|
the merger will offer stockholders of Halo the potential
benefits described in the section entitled The
Merger Halos Reasons for the Merger
beginning on page 55 of this proxy statement/ prospectus; |
Unifys board of directors also identified and considered
the following potentially negative factors in its deliberations:
|
|
|
|
|
the possible disruption to Unifys business that may result
from the announcement of the transaction; |
|
|
|
the potential adverse effects of the public announcement of the
merger on Unifys sales and operating results; ability to
retain key employees; the progress of some of Unifys
strategic initiatives; and Unifys overall strategic
position; |
|
|
|
the inherent difficulties of integrating diverse businesses and
the risk that the cost savings, synergies and other benefits
expected to be obtained in the merger might not be fully
realized; |
|
|
|
the terms of the merger agreement regarding the restrictions on
the operation of Unifys business during the period between
the signing of the merger agreement and the completion of the
merger; |
|
|
|
the $600,000 termination fee to be paid to Halo if the merger
agreement is terminated under circumstances specified in the
merger agreement, which may discourage other parties that may
otherwise have an interest in a business combination with, or an
acquisition of, Unify, as described in the section entitled
The Merger Agreement Termination
beginning on page 85 of this proxy statement/ prospectus); |
|
|
|
the terms of the merger agreement placing limitations on the
ability of Unify to solicit alternative business combination
transactions or engage in negotiations or discussions with, a
third party interested in pursuing an alternative business
combination transaction (see the section entitled The
Merger Agreement No Solicitation beginning on
page 84 of this proxy statement/ prospectus); |
|
|
|
the amount of time it could take to complete the merger,
including the fact that completion of the transaction depends on
factors outside of Unifys control; |
|
|
|
the transaction costs expected to be incurred in connection with
the merger; |
|
|
|
the risk that, notwithstanding the likelihood of the merger
being completed, the merger might not be completed and the
effect of the resulting public announcement of termination of
the merger agreement on: |
|
|
|
|
|
the market price of Unify common stock, and |
|
|
|
Unifys ability to attract and retain customers and
personnel; and |
|
|
|
|
|
the risks described in the section entitled Risk
Factors beginning on page 29 of this proxy statement/
prospectus. |
Unifys board also carefully reviewed its due diligence
examination of Halo, including its financial condition and
prospects, contractual obligations and management team, and
discussed Halos experiences in consummating and
integrating its prior acquisitions.
Unifys board of directors also considered the interests
that certain executive officers and directors of Unify may have
with respect to the merger in addition to their interests as
stockholders of Unify generally (see the section entitled
The Merger Interests of Certain Persons in the
Merger beginning on page 68 of this proxy statement/
prospectus), which the Unifys board of directors
considered as being neutral in its evaluation of the proposed
transaction.
59
Although the foregoing discussion sets forth the material
factors considered by Unifys board of directors in
reaching its determination to recommend the merger, it does not
include all of the factors considered by Unifys board of
directors, and each director may have considered different
factors or given different weights to different factors. In view
of the variety of factors and the amount of information
considered, Unifys board of directors did not find it
practicable to, and did not, make specific assessments of,
quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific
factors considered in reaching its recommendation. Unifys
board of directors realized that there can be no assurance about
future results, including results expected or considered in the
factors above. However, Unifys board of directors
concluded that the potential positive factors described above
significantly outweighed the neutral and negative factors
described above. The recommendation was made after consideration
of all of the factors as a whole. This explanation of
Unifys reasons for the merger and the other information
presented in this section are forward-looking in nature and,
therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed in
the section entitled Forward-Looking Statements
beginning on page 46 of this proxy statement/ prospectus.
UNIFYS BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS APPROVED THE MERGER
AGREEMENT AND DETERMINED THAT THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE MERGER AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE
MERGER, ARE ADVISABLE, FAIR TO AND IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF
UNIFY AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS. ACCORDINGLY, UNIFYS BOARD OF
DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE UNIFY STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
FOR APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT.
In considering the recommendation of Unifys board of
directors with respect to the merger agreement, you should be
aware that certain of Unifys directors and officers have
arrangements that cause them to have interests in the
transaction that are different from, or are in addition to, the
interests of Unify stockholders generally. See the section
entitled The Merger Interests of Certain
Persons in the Merger beginning on page 68 of this
proxy statement/ prospectus.
Opinion of Douglas Curtis & Allyn LLC
By letter dated March 2, 2006, Unify retained Douglas
Curtis & Allyn LLC (DCA) to provide it with a
fairness opinion in connection with the potential merger with
Halo. DCA is a recognized investment banking firm headquartered
in Roseville, California. In the ordinary course of its
investment banking business, DCA engages in the valuation of
companies and their securities in connection with mergers and
acquisitions and other corporate transactions.
At the March 10, 2006 Board of Directors meeting at which
the board considered and approved the merger, DCA delivered to
the board its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing ,
that, as of such date, and subject to the assumptions,
qualifications and limitations set forth therein the merger
consideration was fair to Unifys shareholders from a
financial point of view. The full text of DCAs opinion
is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus
and is incorporated herein by reference. The opinion provides
disclosure about the procedures followed, information reviewed,
assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and
limitations on the review undertaken by DCA in rendering its
opinion. The summary of the opinion set forth below is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the opinion. You are urged to
read the entire opinion carefully in connection with your
consideration of the proposed merger.
DCAs opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion.
The opinion was directed to the Unify Board of Directors and is
directed only to the fairness of the merger consideration to
Unify shareholders from a financial point of view under the
assumptions specified. The opinion does not address the
underlying business decision of Unify to engage in the merger or
any other aspect of the merger and is not a recommendation to
any Unify shareholder as to how such shareholder should vote
with respect to the merger or any other matter.
The material used by DCA to evaluate the fairness of the
consideration was compiled for use solely by the Unify Board of
Directors in evaluating the proposed merger with Halo. The
opinion is not intended to provide the sole basis for evaluating
the merger, does not purport to contain all information that may
or
60
should be considered, and should not be considered a
recommendation with respect to the merger. The opinion was not
prepared to conform with any disclosure standards under
applicable securities laws, SEC requirements, generally accepted
accounting or reporting standards, or otherwise. Neither DCA nor
any of its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors,
agents or representatives warrants the accuracy or completeness
of any of the material set forth in the opinion, and nothing
contained in the opinion is, or shall be relied upon as, a
promise or representations as to the past, present or future
conditions or performance of the Company, Halo, or the combined
entity.
DCA was not asked to and did not independently verify the
accuracy or completeness of any of the financial information,
analyses, projections, and other information that was publicly
available or otherwise furnished to, reviewed by, or discussed
with DCA, and further relied on the assurance of management of
Unify and Halo that they were not aware of any facts or
circumstances that would make such information inaccurate or
misleading. DCA did not make an independent evaluation or
appraisal of the assets, liabilities (including any intangible,
contingent, derivative or off-balance sheet assets and
liabilities) of Unify, Halo, or any of their respective
subsidiaries. With Unifys consent, DCA assumed that
Unifys technology and software code were adequate and
capable to be used for the purpose intended and will continue to
produce the revenues forecast by management on a pro forma basis
for the combined entity. In addition, DCA did not conduct any
physical inspection or review of the software code, properties
or facilities, or other assets of Unify or Halo. DCA was not
requested to solicit, and did not solicit, interest from other
parties with respect to an acquisition of, or other business
combination with, Unify. The opinion does not attempt to assess
whether the merger represents the highest potential value for
which Unify could be sold.
Materials used to prepare the opinion, including any estimates,
valuations and/or projections contained in the opinion were
prepared or derived from information supplied by Unify, Halo
management, or from public sources, and DCA has not assumed the
responsibility for any independent verification thereof nor for
conducting any due diligence investigation of Unify or Halo, or
their underlying business risks, as such validation and
investigations are beyond the scope of its engagement.
Accordingly, DCA makes no representation or warranty as to the
accuracy or achievability of any such valuations, estimates,
forecasts, and/or projections including synergies, and DCA
expressly disclaims any and all liability relating to or
resulting from use of the opinion.
The opinion was necessarily based upon information available to
DCA and financial, stock market and other conditions and
circumstances existing and disclosed or available as of
March 9, 2006, and the opinion speaks as of such date. DCA
does not have any obligation to update or otherwise revise the
opinion. Actual results may vary from such valuations, estimates
or projections including synergies, and such variations may be
material.
In connection with rendering the opinion, DCA reviewed and
considered, among other things:
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

combinations in the software industry; and |
|
|
|

In rendering its opinion, DCA, with the permission of the Board

|
|
|
(i) the accuracy and completeness of all the financial,
accounting, legal, tax and other information discussed with or
reviewed by DCA; |
|

(iii) All representations and warranties contained in the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, including the disclosure schedules

separate companies and combined entity; |
|
|
(x) Unify and Halo remain going concerns for all periods
relevant to this analysis; |
|
|
(xi) All debt, other than that owed to Fortress and
approximately $1.1 million of subordinated debt, will be

|
|
(xii) Sufficient liquidity will exist in Halo shares to

volume; |
|
|
(xiii) The acquisition of InfoNow by Halo has not closed by

62
DCA performed a variety of financial analyses in preparing the
opinion. The following is a summary of the material analyses
performed by DCA, but is not a complete description of all the
analyses underlying DCAs opinion. In order to fully
understand these financial analyses, you should read the opinion
attached as Annex B in its entirety.
The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process
involving subjective judgments as to the most appropriate and
relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of
those methods to the particular circumstances. The process,
therefore, is not necessarily susceptible to a partial analysis
or summary description. DCA believes that its analyses must be
considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the factors
and analyses considered without considering all factors and
analyses, or attempting to ascribe relative weights to some or
all such factors and analyses, could create an incomplete view
of the evaluation process underlying its opinion. Also, no
company included in DCAs comparative analyses described
below is identical to Unify or Halo and no transaction is
identical to the proposed merger. Accordingly, an analysis of
comparable companies or transactions involves complex
considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial
operations characteristics of the companies and other factors
that could affect the public trading values or merger
transaction values, as the case may be, of Unify or Halo and the
companies to which they are being compared.
DCA expressed no opinion as to the financial projections
provided by the managements of Unify and Halo or the assumptions
on which they were based. With respect to such financial
projections, Unifys and Halos managements confirmed
to DCA that they reflected the best currently available
information, estimates and judgments of such managements of the
future financial performance of Unify and Halo, respectively.
The financial projections provided by management of Unify and
Halo were prepared for internal purposes only and not with a
view towards public disclosure. These projections, as well as
the other estimates used by DCA in its analyses, were based on
numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently
uncertain, and, accordingly, actual results could vary
materially from those set forth in such projections.
In performing its analyses, DCA also made numerous assumptions
with respect to industry performance, business and economic
conditions and various other matters, many of which cannot be
predicted and are beyond the control of Unify, Halo, and DCA.
The analyses performed by DCA are not necessarily indicative of
actual values or future results, which may be significantly more
or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. DCA prepared
its analyses solely for purposes of advising the Unify Board of
Directors and estimates on the values of companies, including
Unify and Halo, do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily
reflect the prices at which companies or their securities may
actually be sold. Such estimates are inherently subject to
uncertainty and actual values may be materially different.
Accordingly, DCAs analyses do not necessary reflect the
value of Unifys common stock or Halos common stock
or the prices at which Unify or Halos common stock may be
sold at any time. Further, the opinion does not address the
question of whether the consideration to be received by Unify in
the merger is the maximum value it could receive for its shares,
but only that the consideration being offered is fair to Unify
shareholders, from a financial point of view.
In performing its analysis and rendering its opinion as to the
fairness of the consideration, DCA acknowledges that its
conclusion may be affected by the risk factors listed below,
among others, whose effect, outcome or circumstances are
currently unknown, indeterminate, and not subject to
quantification. The effect and impact of these risk factors may
be, and in most cases would be, material to the factors
considered in arriving at DCAs conclusion. In addition to
the risk factors described elsewhere in this prospectus/proxy
solicitation and cited by Unify and Halo in their respective SEC
filings and other documents, there are other risks introduced by
the proposed merger, including, but not limited to:
|
|
|
|
|
there is no mechanism in the merger agreement to protect Unify
stockholders against downward movement in Halos share
price between signing the merger agreement and closing the
merger; |
|
|
|
the ability of Halo and Unify to access additional debt and/or
equity capital; |
|
|
|
the ability of Unify and Halo to meet forecasted results; |
|
|
|
risks that certain customers or suppliers may elect not to do
business with the combined company; |
63
|
|
|
|
|
the dilutive impact that Halos future acquisitions may
have on earnings per share (EPS); |
|
|
|
potential adverse impact on the market perception of the
combined company due to the diversity of its business model; |
|
|
|
the limited trading market for Halo common stock; |
|
|
|
Halos significant debt load and Halos ability to
maintain covenant compliance; |
|
|
|
ability to maintain Sarbanes-Oxley compliance; |
|
|
|
the potential loss of key management or employees; and |
|
|
|
the ability of the combined company to achieve NASDAQ listing. |
Summary of Findings. DCA based its opinion on
several financial analyses, including:
|
|
|
|
|
Premium paid analysis |
|
|
|
Comparable public company analysis |
|
|
|
Analysis of selected merger and acquisition transactions |
|
|
|
Discounted cash flow and terminal value analysis |
|
|
|
Pro Forma ownership and contribution analysis |
Premium Paid. DCA reviewed the financial terms
negotiated between Halo and Unify as commemorated in the merger
agreement. The parties structured the proposed merger as a stock
for stock exchange with an agreed upon exchange ratio of at
least 0.43 shares of Halo Common stock for each share of Unify
common stock. The parties arrived at this ratio based on a value
of $1.65 per share of Halo stock implying a value of $0.71 per
share of Unify common stock. The ratio was subsequently increase
to $0.437 shares of Halo common stock for each share of Unify
common stock after DCA delivered its opinion.
Based upon this implied value per share and the number of shares
of Unify stock outstanding or options to be assumed by Halo
subsequent to the merger, the aggregate transaction has a value
of approximately $21.35 million. This value represents an
approximate 82% premium to Unifys pre-announcement market
capitalization of approximately $11.75 million as of the
close of the market on March 9, 2006.
The proposed purchase price of approximately $21.35 million
also represents an approximate 43% premium to the estimated fair
market value determined by DCA based on the average of the
premiums calculated using the following three valuation models:
|
|
|
|
|
a premium of approximately 80% based on the comparable public
company analysis; |
|
|
|
a premium of approximately 15% based on the analysis of selected
merger and acquisition transactions; and |
|
|
|
a premium of approximately 50% based on the discounted cash flow
analysis. |
In addition, the proposed purchase price represents an
approximate 90% premium to the 3-month trailing average stock
price compared to an average control premium of 29.8% that DCA
calculated for other acquisitions in the computer software,
supplies and services industries.
Finally, the proposed purchase price premium compares favorably
to the median premiums offered of 35.1%, 30.5% and 29.8% in
DCAs analysis of acquisition premiums offered in computer
software, supplies and services acquisition transactions for the
years 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.
Comparable Public Company Analysis. DCA used
publicly available information to compare selected financial and
market trading information for Unify and Halo and certain public
companies determined to
64
be relevant by DCA. The analysis methodology included, among
other procedures and criteria, the following:
|
|
|
|
|
identification of appropriate public companies in the software
development tools and vertical software applications sectors; |
|
|
|
compilation of appropriate operating and financial statistics; |
|
|
|
identification of those companies with similar operating
statistics to relevant Unify operating statistics; |
|
|
|
if multiple companies had the same number of similarities, the
company(s) with revenues that most closely approximated
Unifys revenues were selected in the comparison set; |
|
|
|
the analyses were weighted in accordance with Unifys
percentage of UBS (Unify Business Solutions) and IRM (Insurance
Risk Management) revenues contained in the draft of Unifys
most recent quarterly report on
Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended January 31, 2006 reviewed by DCA; and |
|
|
|
the median of the various ratios or multiples were
selected for comparison because the median most closely
approximates the center point of the array and reduces the
effect of outlying data points. |
Fifteen publicly-traded companies were used in the analysis for
the software development tools sector. Of these DCA identified
the following five companies as having operating statistics
similar to Unifys:
|
|
|
|
|
Borland Software Corp. |
|
|
|
NetIQ Corp. |
|
|
|
Quovadx, Inc. |
|
|
|
NetManage, Inc |
|
|
|
IDI Global, Inc. |
For these five companies, DCA calculated the Total Enterprise
Value/ Last Twelve Months Revenue (TEV/ LTM Revenue)
ratio which resulted in a median of 0.8, compared to 2.0 for
Unify based on the implied transaction value.
Fifteen publicly-traded companies were used in the analysis for
the vertical software applications sector. Of these, DCA
identified the following five companies as having operating
statistics similar to Unifys:
|
|
|
|
|
Misys plc |
|
|
|
S1 Corp. |
|
|
|
Sapiens International Corp. NV |
|
|
|
Sirius Financial Solutions plc |
|
|
|
Healthaxis, Inc. |
For these five companies DCA calculated the TEV/ LTM Revenue
ratio, which resulted in a median of 0.9, compared to 2.0 for
Unify based on the implied transaction value.
DCA concluded that the implied merger multiple of 2.0x compares
favorably to the TEV/ LTM Revenue median multiples of comparable
Software Development Tools and Vertical Applications Software
public companies of 0.8x and 0.9x, respectively. These multiples
were applied against Unifys gross revenues from each
business unit (i.e. UBS and IRM) for the twelve months
ending January 31, 2006.
65
Applying the application of a control premium of 29.8%, the
implied transaction value of approximately $21.35 million
represents a premium of approximately 80%.

Unify gross revenues for UBS and IRM. |
Analysis of Selected Merger Transactions. DCA
reviewed thirty merger and acquisition transactions announced
during the period January 1, 2004 through March 6,
2006, involving acquisitions of software companies with
transaction values greater than $5.0 million. The analysis
methodology included, among other procedures and criteria, the
following:
|
|
|
|
|
identification of appropriate merger and acquisition
transactions in the software development tools and vertical
software applications sectors; |
|
|
|
compilation of appropriate operating and financial statistics; |
|
|
|
identification of those companies with the most similarities to
relevant Unify operating statistics; |
|
|
|
if multiple companies had the same number of similarities, the
company(s) with revenues that most closely approximated
Unifys revenues were selected in the comparison set; |
|
|
|
the analyses were weighted in accordance with Unifys
percentage of UBS and IRM revenues contained in its draft
quarterly report on
Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended January 31, 2006; and |
|
|
|
the median of the various ratios or multiples were
selected for comparison because the median most closely
approximates the center point of the array and reduces the
effect of outlying data points. |
Twelve transactions were used in the analysis for the software
development tools sector. Of these, DCA identified the
acquisitions of the five following companies as having operating
statistics similar to Unifys:
|
|
|
|
|
UGS Corp. |
|
|
|
Plumtree Software, Inc. |
|
|
|
Segue Software, Inc. |
|
|
|
NEON Systems, Inc. |
|
|
|
Persistence Software, Inc. |
DCA calculated the TEV/ LTM Revenue ratio for these five
companies, which resulted in a median of 1.8, compared to 2.0
for Unify based on the implied transaction value.
66
Eighteen transactions were used in the analysis for the vertical
software applications sector. Of these DCA identified the
acquisitions of the following five companies as having operating
statistics similar to Unifys:
|
|
|
|
|
Vertex Financial Services |
|
|
|
Financial Models Company, Inc. |
|
|
|
DAOU Systems, Inc. |
|
|
|
UCA Services, Inc. |
|
|
|
InteliData Technologies, Corp. |
DCA calculated the TEV/ LTM Revenue ratio for these five
companies, which resulted in a median of 1.5, compared to 2.0
for Unify.

TEV for Unify based on proposed merger transaction value. LTM
Revenue for Unify based on draft quarterly report on
Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended January 31, 2006. |
DCA determined that the implied merger multiple of 2.0x compares
favorably to the TEV/ LTM Revenue median multiples of comparable
software development tools and vertical applications software
public companies of 1.8x and 1.5x, respectively. These multiples
were applied against Unifys gross revenue from each
business unit (i.e. UBS and IRM) for the twelve months
ending January 31, 2006. The implied transaction value of
approximately $21.35 million represents a premium of
approximately 15% over the median acquisition multiple.

Unify gross revenues for UBS and IRM. |
Discounted Cash Flow and Terminal Value Analysis.
DCA performed an analysis that estimated the future stream of
projected free cash flows of Unify through April 30, 2009,
in accordance with the financial projections received from, and
reviewed with, Unify management. To that estimated stream of
future cash flows, DCA applied a discount rate equal to 23.9%
determined by utilizing factors including a risk-free rate,
Unifys Beta, equity risk premium and equity size
adjustment. Among those factors used in calculating the discount
rate, DCA used Unifys actual
5-year Beta of 1.77,
rather than a weighted average of 2.64 of certain companies
selected by DCA. The decision to use Unifys actual Beta
had the effect of reducing the discount rate and increasing the
implied value of Unify when compared to using the weighted
average of the selected companies.
The terminal value multiple selected was computed as the
weighted average of the median multiples of the selected
software development tools and vertical applications software
public companies of 2.06 and
67
1.62, respectively, applied against Unifys estimated gross
income percentage from UBS and IRM for the twelve months ending
April 30, 2009.
The estimated value of Unifys projected free cash flows
over the period ending April 30, 2009, discounted at a rate
of 23.9% implies a present value of the Company equal to
approximately $14.24 million. The proposed transaction
value of approximately $21.35 million represents a premium
of approximately 50% above this implied discounted cash flow
value.
In connection with its analyses, DCA considered and discussed
with the Unify board how the discounted cash flow analyses would
be affected by changes in the underlying assumptions, including
variations with respect to net income, the growth rate of
revenues, and free cash flows. DCA noted that the discounted
free cash flow and terminal value analysis is a widely used
valuation methodology, but the results of such methodology are
highly dependent upon the numerous assumptions that must be made
and results thereof are not necessarily indicative of actual
values or future results.
Pro Forma Ownership and Contribution Analysis. DCA
analyzed certain potential pro forma effects of the merger,
based upon the following assumptions, among others: (i) a
per share transaction value of $0.71 per share, with 100%
of the outstanding shares of Unify being exchanged for shares of
Halo common stock at an assumed exchange ratio of 0.43 to 1.00,
and (ii) the revenue and EBITDA projections of Unify and
Halo as provided by the senior managements of Unify and Halo.
The analysis indicated that for the year ending June 30,
2007, the first full year following the merger, Unify
shareholders would own approximately 18.6% of the combined
company while projected Unify operations would contribute
approximately 21.5% and 1.9% to the combined entitys
revenues and EBITDA, respectively. DCA was unable to analyze the
pro forma effects after the first year because Halo management
only provided estimates of quarterly revenues and EBITDA (and no
other detail) through December 31, 2007. Consequently, no
Halo revenues and EBITDA were included in this analysis for the
period January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009, so DCA
did not prepare a pro forma ownership and contribution analysis
for that period. Additionally, Unify and Halo have year ends of
April 30 and June 30; the effects of conforming such
year ends were ignored for purposes of this analysis. Halo did
not provide DCA with detailed consolidating or consolidated
financial projections or budgets for any periods subsequent to
January 1, 2006, limiting DCAs ability to perform a
full contribution analysis. The actual results achieved by the
combined company may vary from projected results and the
variations may be material.
Unify agreed to pay DCA $80,000 for rendering its opinion, all
of which was paid prior to delivery of the opinion to the Unify
Board of Directors on March 10, 2006. Unify has also agreed
to reimburse DCA for its reasonable attorneys fees and out
of pocket expenses, up to a maximum of $5,000 or such higher
amount as is approved by Unify, incurred in connection with its
engagement, and to indemnify DCA and its affiliates and their
respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents and
controlling persons against certain expenses and liabilities,
including, but not limited to, liabilities under securities
laws. None of DCAs fees or other rights under the
engagement are in any way dependent upon the ultimate conclusion
of the opinion.
Completion and Effectiveness of the Merger
The merger will be completed when all of the conditions to
completion of the merger are satisfied or waived, if
permissible, including adoption of the merger agreement by the
stockholders of Unify. The merger will become effective upon the
filing of a certificate of merger with the State of Delaware.
Halo and Unify are working to complete the merger as quickly as
possible, and we hope to do so as promptly as practicable after
the Unify special meeting. However, because the merger is
subject to closing conditions, Halo and Unify cannot give any
assurance that all the conditions to the merger will be either
satisfied or waived or that the merger will occur and cannot
predict the exact timing of the completion of the merger.
As promptly as practicable after the merger is
completed, ,
the exchange agent for the merger, will mail to you instructions
(including a letter of transmittal) for surrendering your shares
of
68
Unify common stock in exchange for Halo common stock, and cash
for fractional shares, if any. When you deliver your Unify stock
certificates to the exchange agent along with a properly
executed letter of transmittal and any other required documents,
your Unify stock certificates will be cancelled and you will
receive a certificate representing that number of whole shares
of Halo stock that you are entitled to receive pursuant to the
merger agreement.
You should not submit your stock certificates for exchange until
you have completed and mailed the letter of transmittal as
directed by the instructions referred to above.
You will be entitled to receive dividends or other distributions
on Halo common stock with a record date after the merger is
completed, but only after you have surrendered your Unify stock
certificates. If there is any dividend or other distribution on
Halo common stock with a record date after completion of the
merger, you will receive the dividend or distribution promptly
after the later of the date that your Halo shares are issued to
you or the date the dividend or other distribution is paid to
all Halo shareholders.
Halo will issue a Halo stock certificate and a check for
fractional shares, if applicable, in a name other than the name
in which a surrendered Unify stock certificate is registered
only if you present the exchange agent with all documents
required to show and effect the unrecorded transfer of ownership
and show that you paid any applicable stock transfer taxes.
Operations Following the Merger
Following completion of the merger, the business of Unify will
be continued as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Halo. The
stockholders of Unify will become stockholders of Halo and their
rights as stockholders will be governed by the Halo articles of
incorporation, the Halo bylaws and the laws of the State of
Nevada. See the section entitled Comparison of Stockholder
Rights and Corporate Governance Matters beginning on
page 143 of this proxy statement/ prospectus for a
discussion of some of the differences in the rights of
stockholders of Halo and the stockholders of Unify.
Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger
Unify stockholders should be aware that certain members of the
Unify board of directors and management have interests in the
merger that are different from, or are in addition to, the
interests of other Unify stockholders. The Unify board of
directors was aware of these interests and considered the
following matters, among others, in approving the merger
agreement, as amended, and the merger:
Indemnification. If we complete the merger, for a period
of five years Halo will provide rights to indemnification
benefiting Unifys directors and officers that are at least
as favorable as those in effect under Unifys certificate
of incorporation and bylaws as of the closing of the merger
agreement, as amended. The merger agreement also provides for
the purchase of a D&O tail policy for the
benefit of Unifys directors and officers.
Change of Control/ Severance Agreements.
Unify has an employment agreement with Mr. Wille, its
president and chief executive officer. Under the agreement,
Mr. Wille receives an annual salary, subject to adjustment
by the Unify board of directors, which was initially set at
$210,000. The employment agreement also provides that
Mr. Wille is eligible to receive bonuses of up to $150,000
as determined by Unify, and that Mr. Wille was to receive
an option to purchase 500,000 shares of Unify common
stock to be granted pursuant to the Unify 1991 Stock Option
Plan. Should Mr. Wille be terminated upon a Change of
Control of Unify, Mr. Wille will receive twelve
months salary payable in accordance with Unifys
regular payroll cycle, the continuance of Mr. Willes
employee benefits for twelve months, and 100% immediate vesting
of any unvested portion of the option to
purchase 500,000 shares provided for in the employment
agreement.
It is a condition to completion of the merger that Halo and
Mr. Wille enter into a new employment agreement under which
Mr. Wille will be employed as a senior manager of the Unify
business unit or an equivalent position. Under the new
agreement, Mr. Wille will receive an annual salary of
$220,000, subject
69
to increase at the discretion of the Halo board, and will be
eligible for performance bonuses consistent with Halo employees
with similar responsibilities. The term of the agreement is a
minimum of two years, with additional one year terms upon mutual
agreement between Halo and Mr. Wille. If Mr. Wille is
terminated prior to the end of the term without cause, or
Mr. Wille resigns for good reason (in each case as defined
in the agreement) Halo is obligated to pay his salary and bonus
and continue his benefits for a period of 12 months.
Under Unifys 2001 Stock Option Plan, should Unify merge
with or be acquired by another company in a transaction where
Unify stockholders do not retain a majority of the voting stock,
a Change of Control occurs. If there is a Change of
Control, the successor company may, without the consent of any
option holders, either assume any outstanding options or
substitute substantially equivalent options for its own stock.
Any options neither assumed or substituted by the successor
company in connection with the Change of Control nor exercised
prior to the Change in Control shall be terminate and cease to
be outstanding effective as of the date of the Change of Control.
Under Unifys 1991 Stock Option Plan, in the event of a
proposed merger or sale of Unify with or into another
corporation in which Unify is not the surviving corporation,
Unify shall notify option holders no less than 15 days
prior to the consummation of such transaction and all
outstanding options shall become immediately exercisable,
whether vested or not. Unexercised outstanding options that are
not assumed or substituted by the acquiring corporation (or a
parent or subsidiary of the acquiring corporation) shall
terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such
transaction.
Stock Options and Warrants
In connection with the merger, each outstanding option to
acquire Unify common stock with a per share exercise price of
less than $1.00 which remains outstanding and unexercised
immediately prior to consummation of the merger will become and
represent an option to purchase the number of shares of Halo
common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share)
determined by multiplying the number of shares of Unify common
stock subject to such option by 0.437. The exercise price of the
substituted Halo option will be determined by dividing the
exercise price of the Unify option by the exchange ratio and
rounding the result up to the nearest tenth of a cent. All other
Unify options will be cancelled. Each outstanding and
unexercised warrant to purchase Unify common stock immediately
prior to consummation of the merger will become and represent a
warrant to purchase the number of shares of Halo common stock
(rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by
multiplying the number of shares of Unify common stock subject
to such warrant by 0.437. See the section entitled The
Merger Agreement Stock Payment; Common Stock Options
and Warrants beginning on page 78 of this proxy
statement/ prospectus.
Stockholder Agreement
Holders beneficially owning approximately 33% of Unifys
outstanding voting securities have entered into a stockholder
agreement with Halo. Pursuant to the stockholder agreement, such
holders have agreed to vote all of their shares of Unify common
stock beneficially owned:
|
|
|
|
|
for adoption and approval of the merger agreement, the merger
and all agreements related to the merger and any actions related
to or contemplated by the merger; and |
|
|
|
not in favor of any other proposal to acquire Unify (other than
an unsolicited superior proposal, as defined in the merger
agreement and described in the section entitled The Merger
Agreement No Solicitation beginning on
page 84 of this proxy statement/ prospectus), any
reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation or winding up of
Unify or any other extraordinary transaction involving Unify,
any corporate action the consummation of which would frustrate
the purposes of, or prevent or delay the consummation of the
merger or other transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement or any other related matters. |
70
Robert J. Majteles is a director of Unify and the general
partner of Treehouse Capital, LLC (Treehouse), an
investment firm. Special Situations Fund III, L.P., Special
Situations Cayman Fund, L.P., Special Situations Private Equity
Fund, L.P. and Special Situations Fund, L.P. (who collectively
beneficially own 29.67% of the outstanding Unify common stock
and are parties to the stockholder agreement) have entered into
an agreement with Mr. Majteles and Treehouse pursuant to
which Treehouse, through Mr. Majteles, agrees to provide
certain management and financial advisory services for the funds
on request. If Mr. Majteless services are requested
by the funds with respect to a particular portfolio investment,
Treehouse is entitled to 10% of the funds net gain (as
defined) or net loss (as defined) on the investment during the
term of the agreement, offset by certain fees that may be paid
by the portfolio company to Treehouse or Mr. Majteles
directly. Under the agreement, Mr. Majteles is required to
act independently of the funds in discharging his fiduciary
duties to shareholders of any company for which he serves as a
member of the board of directors and also is obliged not to
disclose to the funds or use for his own benefit any
confidential information he obtains in connection with his
service for a particular portfolio company. Mr. Majteles
does not have or share voting or dispositive power over any
securities held by the funds. Mr. Majteles has agreed to
serve as a director of Unify pursuant to this agreement.
Indemnification and Insurance
In the event of any threatened or actual claim against a current
or former director or officer of Unify, Unify and Halo have
agreed to defend the director or officer against the threatened
or actual claim to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Unify.
The merger agreement also provides that after the effectiveness
of the merger, the surviving corporation and Halo shall
indemnify and hold harmless each current or former director and
officer of Unify, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Unify,
against any damages incurred in connection with any threatened
or actual claim or suit for a period of five years after the
consummation of the merger.
The merger agreement provides that Unify will purchase
directors and officers liability insurance coverage
for five years after the consummation of the merger for the
benefit of its executive officers and directors serving prior to
the merger under either Unifys current policy or under a
policy of similar coverage containing terms and conditions which
are generally not less advantageous than Unifys current
policy, except that Unify will not be obligated to purchase
directors and officers liability insurance with a
premium of more than $200,000.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules
of the SEC, and generally includes voting power and/or
investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common
stock subject to options or warrants which are currently
exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 23,
2006 are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of the
person holding such options or warrants but are not deemed
outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person.
Except as indicated by footnote, Unify believes that the persons
named in the table above have sole voting and investment power
with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially
owned by them. |

Regulatory Matters
Other than compliance with applicable federal and state
securities laws pursuant to the issuance of Halo common stock in
connection with the merger, and compliance with applicable
provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, no federal or state
regulatory requirements must be satisfied in connection with the
merger.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the
Merger
The following discussion sets forth the material
U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to Unify
stockholders.
This discussion does not address any tax consequences arising
under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction. This
discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the Code) and the regulations of the
U.S. Treasury Department and court and administrative
rulings and decisions in effect on the date of this document.
These laws may change, possibly retroactively, and any change
could affect the continuing validity of this discussion. The
discussion below also assumes that the merger will be completed
in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement.
This discussion is limited to shareholders who hold Unify common
stock and, after the merger, will hold Halo common stock, as
capital assets within the meaning of section 1221 of the
Code. Further, this discussion does not address all aspects of
U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to you in
light of your particular circumstances or that may be applicable
to you if you are subject to special treatment under the
U.S. federal income tax laws, including, without
limitation, if you are:
|
|
|
|
|
a non-United States
person or entity; |
|
|
|
a financial institution; |
|
|
|
a tax-exempt organization; |
|
|
|
an S corporation or other pass-through entity; |
|
|
|
an insurance company; |
|
|
|
a mutual fund; |
|
|
|
a dealer in securities or foreign currencies; |
|
|
|
a trader in securities who elects the
mark-to-market method
of accounting for your securities; |
73
|
|
|
|
|
a shareholder subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions
of the Code; |
|
|
|
a person that has a functional currency other than the
U.S. dollar; |
|
|
|
a holder of options, or a shareholder who acquired Unify common
stock pursuant to employee stock options or otherwise as
compensation; |
|
|
|
a broker-dealer; or |
|
|
|
a shareholder who holds Unify common stock or shares as part of
a hedge against currency risk, straddle or a constructive sale
or conversion transaction. |
You are advised to consult your own tax advisor as to the
U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger, and the
ownership and disposition of Halo common stock, in each case in
light of the facts and circumstances that may be unique to
you.
Based on representations contained in representation letters
provided by Halo and Unify and on certain customary factual
assumptions, all of which must continue to be true and accurate
in all material respects as of the effective time of the merger,
it is the opinion of Day, Berry and Howard, tax counsel to Halo,
and DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary US LLP, counsel to Unify, that
the merger will be treated for U.S. federal income tax
purposes as a reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Code. Accordingly, the material
U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to a
U.S. holder of Unify common stock will be as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
you will not recognize gain or loss when you exchange your Unify
common stock solely for Halo common stock, except to the extent
of any cash received in lieu of a fractional share of Halo; |
|
|
|
your aggregate tax basis in the Halo common stock that you
receive in the merger (including any fractional share interest
you are deemed to receive and exchange for cash) will equal your
aggregate tax basis in the Unify common stock you
surrender; and |
|
|
|
your holding period for the Halo common stock that you receive
in the merger will include your holding period for the shares of
Unify common stock that you surrender in the exchange. |
If you acquired different blocks of Unify common stock at
different times and at different prices, your tax basis and
holding period in your Halo common stock may be determined with
reference to each block of Unify common stock.
Cash in lieu of Fractional Shares. A U.S. holder
will generally recognize capital gain or loss on any cash
received in lieu of a fractional share of Halo common stock
equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and
the tax basis allocated to such fractional share. That gain or
loss will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if such
U.S. holders holding period in Unify common stock
surrendered in the merger is greater than 12 months as of
the date of the merger.
Tax Opinion. It is a condition to the completion of the
merger that Halo and Unify each receive an opinion from its
respective counsel that the merger will be treated for
U.S. federal income tax purposes as a reorganization within
the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. An opinion of
counsel represents counsels best legal judgment and is not
binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court. If the
merger fails to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning
of Section 368(a) of the Code, you will recognize taxable
gain or loss on the merger equal to the difference between the
fair market value of the Halo stock received in the merger and
your tax basis in the Unify stock surrendered in the merger.
Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be
long-term capital gain or loss if your holding period for your
Unify stock is greater than one year. Long-term capital gain of
non-corporate stockholders is subject to reduced rates of
taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to
limitations. Unify stockholders will receive an information
report notifying them if Halo or Unify determines that, due to
some unanticipated change in facts and circumstances, the merger
is a fully taxable transaction.
74
Backup Withholding. If you are a non-corporate holder of
Unify common stock you may be subject to information reporting
and backup withholding on any cash payments received in lieu of
a fractional share of Halo common stock. You will not be subject
to backup withholding, however, if you:
|
|
|
|
|
furnish a correct taxpayer identification number and certify
that you are not subject to backup withholding on the substitute
Form W-9 or
successor form included in the letter of transmittal to be
delivered to you following the completion of the merger; or |
|
|
|
are otherwise exempt from backup withholding. |
Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be
allowed as a refund or credit against your U.S. federal
income tax liability, provided you furnish the required
information to the Internal Revenue Service.
Reporting Requirements. Upon the receipt of Halo common
shares as a result of the merger, you will be required to retain
records pertaining to the merger. You will also be required to
file with your U.S. federal income tax return for the year
in which the merger takes place a statement setting forth
certain facts relating to the merger.
Dissenting Stockholders. A dissenting holder of Unify
common stock who perfects dissenters rights will generally
be treated as having received a distribution in redemption of
his, her, or its shares subject to the provisions of the Code,
which, in certain circumstances, treat such payments as a
stockholder distribution not in connection with a sale or
exchange. While the tax consequences of such a redemption depend
on a stockholders particular circumstances, a dissenting
stockholder who, after the transaction, does not own (actually
or constructively) any common stock of either Unify or Halo will
generally recognize gain or loss with respect to a share of
Unify common stock equal to the difference between the amount of
cash received and his, her, or its basis in such share. This
gain or loss should be a capital gain or loss.
Accounting Treatment
Halo will record the merger using the purchase method of
accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. This method assumes that for financial
reporting purposes, Halo will treat both companies as one
company beginning as of the date we complete the merger. In
addition, under this method of accounting, Halo will record the
fair value of Unifys net assets on its consolidated
financial statements, with the remaining purchase price in
excess of the fair value of Unifys net assets recorded as
goodwill. See Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined
Financial Statements of Warp Technology Holdings Reflecting
Acquisition of Unify Corporation on
page F-136.
Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board Listing of Halo Common Stock
Shares of Halos common stock are quoted on the
Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board, operated by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. and after the completion of the merger
the Halo common stock issued to Unify stockholders will be
quoted on the OTC:BB as well. Shares of Unify common stock will
be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on
completion of the merger.
APPRAISAL RIGHTS FOR UNIFY STOCKHOLDERS
Unify is a Delaware corporation and under Delaware law, you have
the right to dissent from the merger and receive payment in cash
for the fair value of your Unify common stock, as determined by
the Delaware Court of Chancery. This right is often referred to
as appraisal or dissenters rights. Appraisal rights are
governed by Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law, and strict compliance with the statutory procedures of
Section 262 is required of stockholders in order to perfect
their appraisal rights.
The following is a brief summary of the material provisions of
the statutory procedural requirements to be followed by a Unify
stockholder in order to dissent from the merger and perfect the
stockholders appraisal rights under Section 262. This
summary, however, is not a complete statement of all applicable
requirements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
Section 262, a copy of which is attached to this
75
proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex D. The following
summary of Section 262 does not constitute any legal or
other advice, nor does it constitute a recommendation that Unify
stockholders exercise their appraisal rights. Should you wish to
exercise your appraisal rights, you should carefully review the
text of Section 262 contained in Annex D. Failure to
timely and properly comply with the requirements of
Section 262 will result in the loss of your appraisal
rights under Delaware law.
Under Section 262, stockholders as of the record date must
be notified not less than 20 days before the special
meeting to vote on the merger that appraisal rights will be
available. This notice must be accompanied by a copy of
Section 262. This proxy statement/ prospectus, including
Annex D, constitutes Unifys notice to its
stockholders regarding the availability of appraisal rights in
connection with the merger in compliance with Section 262.
If you elect to exercise your dissenters rights and demand
appraisal of your shares, you must satisfy each of the following
conditions:
|
|
|
1. Before the vote is taken on the merger agreement at the
Unify special meeting, you must deliver to Unify a written
demand for appraisal of your shares. The requirement that you
make written demand for appraisal is in addition to and separate
from any proxy or vote abstaining from or voting against the
merger. Under Section 262, voting against or failing to
vote for the merger itself does not constitute a demand for
appraisal. |
|
|
2. You must not vote in favor of the merger by proxy or in
person. A vote in favor of the merger, whether by proxy or in
person, will constitute a waiver of your appraisal rights in
respect of the shares so voted and will nullify any previously
filed written demand for appraisal. |
|
|
3. You must be the record holder of the shares of Unify
common stock on the date the written demand for appraisal is
made and continue to hold the shares as record holder through
the completion of the merger. |
If you fail to comply with any of these conditions, and the
merger is completed, you will be entitled to receive the shares
of Halo common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares, if
any, for your shares of Unify common stock as provided for in
the merger agreement, but will have no appraisal rights with
respect to your shares of Unify common stock.
A Unify stockholder who wishes to exercise his, her or its
appraisal rights and who votes by proxy must vote against the
merger, or abstain from voting on the merger. A proxy that is
signed but does not contain voting instructions will, unless
revoked, be voted in favor of the merger, and will constitute a
waiver of the stockholders appraisal rights and will
nullify any previously delivered written demand for appraisal.
All demands for appraisal should be delivered before the vote on
the merger is taken at the Unify special meeting to the
following address: Unify Corporation, Attention: Investor
Relations, 2101 Arena Boulevard, Suite 100, Sacramento,
California 95834, and should be executed by, or on behalf of,
the record holder of the shares of Unify common stock. Any
demand must reasonably inform Unify of the identity of the
stockholder and the stockholders intention to demand
appraisal of his, her or its shares, and should specify the
stockholders mailing address and the number of shares
registered in the stockholders name for which the
stockholder is demanding appraisal.
Under Section 262, a stockholders demand for
appraisal must be made by, or in the name of, such record
stockholder, fully and correctly, as the stockholders name
appears on his or her stock certificate(s) and cannot be made a
the beneficial owner if he or she does not also hold the shares
of record. In such cases, the beneficial holder must have the
record owner submit the required demand with respect to such
shares.
If the Unify shares for which appraisal rights are demanded are
owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee,
guardian or custodian, execution of demand for appraisal should
be made in such capacity. If more than one person owns the
shares of record, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common,
the demand for appraisal should be executed by or for all joint
owners. An authorized agent,
76
including an authorized agent for two or more joint owners, may
execute the demand for appraisal for a Unify stockholder of
record. In order for such demand to be effective, the agent must
identify the record owner(s) and expressly disclose the fact
that, in executing the demand, he or she is acting as agent for
the record owner(s). A record owner who holds shares as a
nominee for others, such as a broker, may exercise his, her or
its right of appraisal with respect to the shares held for one
or more beneficial owners, while not exercising this right for
other beneficial owners. The written demand in such case should
state the number of shares as to which appraisal is demanded. In
the case of demand where no number of shares is expressly
stated, the demand will be presumed to cover all shares held in
the name of such record owner.
If you wish to exercise appraisal rights and you hold your
shares of Unify common stock in a brokerage or bank account or
in other nominee form, you should consult with your broker or
bank or such other nominee to determine the appropriate
procedures for such nominee to make demand.
Within 10 days after the effective date of the merger,
Unify must give written notice of the date the merger became
effective to each Unify stockholder who has properly filed a
written demand for appraisal and who did not vote in favor of
the merger. Within 120 days after the effective date of the
merger, either Unify or any Unify stockholder who has complied
with the requirements of Section 262 may file a petition in
the Delaware Court of Chancery to demand a determination of the
fair value of the shares held by all Unify stockholders entitled
to appraisal. Should any Unify stockholders exercise their
dissenters rights, Unify has no obligation to file such a
petition and has no present intention to do so. Therefore, the
failure of a Unify stockholder to file such a petition under
Section 262 could nullify such stockholders previous
written demand for appraisal.
Any Unify stockholder who has demanded an appraisal has the
right to withdraw the demand at any time within 60 days
after the effective date of the merger and to accept the shares
of Halo common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares, if
any, specified by the merger agreement for his or her shares of
Unify common stock. A Unify stockholders attempt to
withdraw an appraisal demand more than 60 days after the
effective date of the merger will require the written approval
of Unify. Within 120 days after the effective date of the
merger, any Unify stockholder who has complied with
Section 262 will be entitled, upon written request, to
receive a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares
of Unify common stock not voted in favor of the merger, and the
aggregate number of shares for which demands for appraisal have
been received, and the aggregate number of holders of such
shares. Such statement must be mailed to the Unify stockholder
exercising appraisal rights within ten days after a written
request has been received by Unify or within ten days after the
expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal,
whichever is later. If an Unify stockholder duly files a
petition for appraisal and delivers a copy of the petition to
Unify, Unify will then be obligated within 20 days after
receiving service of a copy of the petition to provide the
Chancery Court with a duly verified list containing the names
and addresses of all Unify stockholders who have demanded an
appraisal of their shares. After providing notice to dissenting
stockholders, the Chancery Court is empowered to conduct a
hearing upon the petition, to determine those Unify stockholders
who have complied with Section 262 and who are become
entitled to appraisal rights. Under Section 262, the
Chancery Court may require the Unify stockholders who have
demanded payment for their shares to submit their stock
certificates to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of
the pendency of the appraisal proceedings. If the Chancery Court
so requires and if any Unify stockholder fails to comply with
such direction, the Chancery Court may dismiss the proceedings
with respect to such stockholder.
After determination of the Unify stockholders, if any, entitled
to appraisal of their shares of Unify common stock, the Chancery
Court will appraise the shares, determining their fair value
exclusive of any element of value arising from the
accomplishment or expectation of the merger, together with a
fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid. The Chancery Court is
required to take into account all relevant factors in
determining fair value of the shares. You should be aware that
the fair value of your Unify shares as determined by the
Chancery Court under Section 262 could be greater, the
same, or less than the value that you are entitled to receive
for your Unify shares pursuant to the merger agreement. After
determining the value of such shares and upon surrender by the
holders of the certificates representing such shares, the
77
Chancery Court will direct the payment of such value to the
holders, with interest thereon accrued during the pendency of
the proceeding, if any, as determined by the Chancery Court.
The Chancery Court may impose the costs of the appraisal
proceeding upon Unify and the Unify stockholders participating
in the appraisal proceeding as the Chancery Court deems
equitable under the circumstances. Upon the application of a
stockholder, the Chancery Court may order all or a portion of
the expenses incurred by any Unify stockholder in connection
with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys fees and the fees and expenses of
experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all Unify
shares entitled to appraisal. After the effective date of the
merger, any Unify stockholder who had demanded appraisal rights
will not be entitled to vote shares subject to such demand for
any purpose or to receive payments of dividends or any other
distribution with respect to such shares (other than with
respect to payment as of a record date prior to the effective
date); however, if no petition for appraisal is filed within
120 days after the effective date of the merger, or if such
stockholder delivers a written withdrawal of his or her demand
for appraisal and an acceptance of the merger within
60 days after the effective date of the merger, then the
appraisal rights of such stockholder will cease and such
stockholder will be entitled to receive the shares of Halo
common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, for
shares of his or her Unify common stock pursuant to the merger
agreement. Any Unify stockholders withdrawal of a demand
for appraisal made more than 60 days after the effective
date of the merger may only be made with the written approval of
Unify. In order to be effective, such request for withdrawal
must be made within 120 days after the effective date of
the merger.
A Unify stockholders failure to take any required step in
exercising appraisal rights under Section 262 may result in
the termination or waiver of such appraisal rights. Given the
complexity of Section 262, and the strict compliance
required by its provisions, Unify stockholders who wish pursue
their appraisal rights under Section 262 should consult
their legal advisors.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT
The following is a summary of the material provisions of the
merger agreement. This summary does not purport to describe all
the terms of the merger agreement and is qualified by reference
to the complete merger agreement, which is attached as
Annex A to this proxy statement/ prospectus and
incorporated by reference. You should read the merger agreement
in its entirety, as it represents the legal document governing
this merger.
The Merger
Pursuant to the merger agreement, UCA Merger Sub, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Halo, will merge with and into Unify.
Unify will survive the merger and, as a result, will become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Halo. The directors and officers of
the merger subsidiary immediately prior to the effective time of
the merger shall be the directors and officers of the surviving
corporation. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of
Unify shall be amended and restated to be the same in substance
as the bylaws of the merger subsidiary as in effect immediately
prior to the effective time. The merger is intended to
constitute a reorganization for federal income tax purposes.
Timing of Closing and Effective Time
The closing of the merger will take place no later than the
second business day after satisfaction or waiver of the
conditions to the merger agreement (except for those conditions
to be satisfied at closing, unless another time or date is
agreed to by the parties).
Halo and Unify cannot assure you when, or if, all the conditions
to completion of the merger will be satisfied or waived or that
the merger will not be terminated. See Conditions To The
Merger and Termination. The parties intend to
complete the merger as promptly as practicable, subject to the
approval and adoption of the merger agreement by the Unify
stockholders and receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals.
The merger will be completed and become effective when the
certificate of merger is filed with the Secretary of State of
Delaware or at such later date or time as the parties may agree
and specify in the certificate of merger.
Merger Consideration
At the completion of the merger, holders of Unify common stock
issued and outstanding prior to the completion of the merger
will have the right to receive 0.437 shares of Halo common
stock for each share of Unify stock.
|
|
|
Common Stock Options and Warrants |
In connection with the merger, each outstanding option to
acquire Unify common stock with a per share exercise price of
less than $1.00 which remains outstanding and unexercised
immediately prior to consummation of the merger will become and
represent an option to purchase the number of shares of Halo
common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share)
determined by multiplying the number of shares of Unify common
stock subject to such option by 0.437. The exercise price of the
substituted Halo option will be determined by dividing the
exercise price of the Unify option by the exchange ratio and
rounding the result up to the nearest tenth of a cent. All other
Unify options will be cancelled. Each new Halo option will
contain substantially the same terms and conditions, including
vesting, as the applicable Unify option.
Each outstanding and unexercised warrant to purchase Unify
common stock immediately prior to consummation of the merger
will become and represent a warrant to purchase the number of
shares of Halo common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole
share) determined by multiplying the number of
79
shares of Unify common stock subject to such warrant by 0.437.
The exercise price of the warrant and other terms and conditions
have been negotiated between Halo and the warrantholder.
Exchange Procedures
Halo has appointed
[ ]
to serve as exchange and payment agent to handle the exchange of
Unify certificates and stock options for Halo common stock. At
or before the completion of the merger, Halo will cause to be
deposited with the exchange agent sufficient certificates
representing whole shares of Halo stock to make all deliveries
required under the merger agreement.
As soon as reasonably practicable after the closing of the
merger, but no later than two days thereafter, the exchange
agent will mail to each former Unify stockholder or option
holder a letter of transmittal and instructions explaining the
procedure for exchanging Unify stock certificates or options for
the merger consideration.
You should not surrender your stock certificates or options
for exchange until you received a letter of transmittal and
instructions from the exchange agent.
Upon delivery to the exchange agent of the Unify certificates or
options, along with the properly completed letter of
transmittal, the exchange agent will deliver to the holder:
|
|
|
|
|
a stock certificate representing the number of whole shares of
Halo common stock such holder has a right to receive pursuant to
the merger; and |
|
|
|
cash in lieu of any fractional shares. |
At the time of the completion of the merger, all shares of Unify
common stock and options and warrants to purchase shares of
Unify common stock will be cancelled, and all such shares and
options and warrants will cease to have any rights except the
right to receive the merger consideration, including the
substituted Halo option or warrant, as the case may be. No
interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable to
holders of Unify common stock. In addition, no holder of Unify
common shares, options, or warrants will receive any dividends
or other distributions nor will they be permitted to exercise
any voting rights with respect to Halo common stock to which the
holder may be entitled, until such holder surrenders the
certificates representing its shares of Unify common stock,
options, or warrants to the exchange agent with a properly
executed letter of transmittal.
If any Unify stock certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or
destroyed, Halo will require the person claiming such lost,
stolen, or destroyed certificate to provide an appropriate
affidavit and may require the delivery of a bond as indemnity
against any claim that may be made against the exchange agent,
Halo, or Unify with respect to such certificate.
Halo stockholders will not exchange their certificates
representing common stock or preferred stock.
Representations and Warranties
The merger agreement contains a number of representations and
warranties made by Unify to Halo and Merger Sub, and by Halo and
Merger Sub to Unify. Some of these representations and
warranties are qualified as to materiality, knowledge, or the
disclosure made by Halo or Unify in certain of their respective
filings with the SEC. The representations and warranties by
Unify include, but are not limited to, those regarding:
|
|
|
|
|
capitalization; |
|
|
|
corporate organization and good standing; |

Conduct Of Halos Business Prior To Completion of The
Merger |
Halo also has agreed to certain restrictions on the manner in
which it will carry on its business until either completion of
the merger or the termination of the merger agreement. In
general, except as specifically contemplated by the merger
agreement, or to the extent Unify consents in writing, Halo will

specified exceptions or the written consent of Unify, it will,
among other things:

|

|

and the date of the closing of the merger; |

|
|
Unifys performance in all material respects of all of its
covenants and agreements under the merger agreement, except
where failure to perform would not likely have a material
adverse effect on Unify; |
|
|
|
Unifys having obtained consents from third parties that
are necessary for the consummation of the merger, except as
would not have a material adverse effect on Unify or the
surviving corporation; |
|
|
|
absence of any change in the business, operations, condition
(financial or otherwise), assets, or liabilities of Unify that
individually or in the aggregate has had or would likely have a
material adverse effect on Unify; |
|
|
|
each stockholder agreement being in full force and effect; and |
|
|
|
to the extent appraisal rights are available, the number of
shares of Unify common stock whose holders exercise appraisal
rights does not exceed ten percent (10%) of Unifys
outstanding shares of common stock. |
Further, unless waived by Unify, Unifys obligations to
complete the merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver,
at or prior to the closing of the merger, of the following
additional conditions:
|
|
|
|
|
certain of the representations and warranties of Halo and Merger
Sub being true and correct in all respects, and the remaining
representations and warranties being true and correct in all
material respects, both as of the date of the merger agreement
and the date of the closing of the merger; |
|
|
|
Halos performance in all material respects of all of its
covenants and agreements under the merger agreement, except

|
|
|
Halos having obtained consents from third parties, other
than governmental entities, which are required in connection
with the merger under any loan agreement, note, mortgage,
indenture, or other agreement to which Halo is bound, except

material adverse effect on Halo; |
|
|
|
absence of any change in the business, operations, condition
(financial or otherwise), assets, or liabilities of Halo that
individually or in the aggregate has had or would likely have a
material adverse effect on Halo; |
|
|
|
Halo will have received at least $2,000,000 in new money equity
investments; |
|
|
|
the conversion of all of Halos issued and outstanding
shares of preferred stock into shares of Halo common
stock; and |
|
|
|
the holders of certain convertible promissory notes of Halo will
have converted such notes into shares of Halo common stock. |
|
|
|
Compliance with Antitrust Laws |
Halo and Unify agree to use reasonable best efforts to resolve
any objections asserted with respect to the merger under
antitrust law. Halo and Unify also agree to use reasonable best
efforts to take such action as may be required by a court or
governmental entity with respect to the merger under antitrust
law.
84
No Solicitation
The merger agreement provides that Unify will not, and will not
permit its directors, officers, affiliates, or agents to:
|
|
|
|
|
solicit, initiate, encourage, or otherwise facilitate any
inquiries that relate to any alternative acquisition proposal; |
|
|
|
participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding an
alternative acquisition proposal; or |
|
|
|
withdraw approval or recommendation by the Unify board, or
approve or recommend or permit Unify to enter into an agreement
relating to an alternative acquisition proposal. |
The prohibition on solicitation does not prevent Unifys
board, as required by its fiduciary duties, as determined by its
board in good faith, and upon consultation with Unifys
outside counsel, from engaging in discussions or negotiations
with, and furnishing information concerning Unify to, a person
or entity that makes an unsolicited superior proposal. The
merger agreement requires Unify to promptly notify Halo after
receiving any request for information or any proposal which
could lead to an alternative acquisition proposal, indicating
the identity of the potential acquirer and the principal terms
and conditions of the request or proposal, and to keep Halo
informed of the status and details of that request or proposal.
A superior proposal is an unsolicited alternative
acquisition proposal on terms which the Unify board determines
in good faith, based on consultation with a financial advisor,
among other things, would result in a transaction more favorable
to Unifys stockholders than the merger with Halo and, in
the good faith judgment of the board of Unify after consultation
with its financial advisor, the persons or entity making such
alternative acquisition proposal has the financial means to
conclude such transaction.
Further, the prohibition on solicitation does not prevent Unify
or its board from complying with SEC rules with regard to an
alternative acquisition proposal by means of a tender offer or
from making any disclosure to the Unify stockholders if
Unifys board determines in good faith and after
consultation with Unifys outside counsel, such disclosure
is necessary for the Unify board to comply with its fiduciary
duties under applicable law.
The merger agreement contains certain other covenants and
agreements, including agreements relating to preparation and
distribution of this proxy statement/ prospectus, public
announcements, and cooperation regarding certain filings with
governmental and other agencies and organizations. In addition,
the merger agreement contains a general covenant requiring each
of the parties to use its reasonable best efforts to effectuate
the merger.
Unify has agreed to convene and hold a meeting of its
stockholders promptly after the date of the merger agreement to
vote upon the approval of the merger agreement and the merger.
The board of Unify, subject to its fiduciary duties, also will
recommend that its stockholders approve the merger agreement and
merger.
|
|
|
Indemnification and Insurance |
Halo and Unify have agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted
under applicable law, after the merger has become effective,
Halo and the surviving corporation in the merger will indemnify
and hold harmless each present and former director and officer
of Unify against all losses, costs, expenses, claims, judgments,
fines, damages, or liabilities incurred in connection with any
threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding, or
investigation based at least in part on, the fact that the
indemnified party is or was a director of officer of Unify or
any of its predecessors, or the merger agreement. In addition,
Unify will purchase directors and officers liability
insurance for the benefit of those holding such positions in
Unify immediately prior to the completion of the merger. The
coverage will last five years after the completion
85
of the merger and will be similar to Unifys current
policy. However, Unify will not purchase such insurance for a
premium of more than $200,000.
Termination
The merger agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the
completion of the merger, whether before or after approval of
Unifys stockholders:
|
|
|
|
|
by mutual consent of Halo and Unify if the board of directors of
each so determines by a majority vote; |
|
|
|
by either party, thirty (30) days after a request for
regulatory approval is denied or withdrawn at the request of a
governmental entity which must grant such approval, unless the
denial or withdrawal request is due to failure of the party
seeking to terminate the merger to observe the covenants and
agreements of such party in the merger agreement; |
|
|
|
by either party, if the merger is not consummated by
September 30, 2006, unless the failure to close by such
date is due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate the
merger to observe the covenants and agreements of such party in
the merger agreement; |
|
|
|
by either party, if the approval of the merger by the
stockholders is not obtained because of the failure to obtain
the required vote at Unifys meeting of stockholders held
for the purpose of voting on the approval of the merger
agreement; |
|
|
|
by either party, if the other party has breached any
representation or warranty in the merger agreement, if such
breach has had or is likely to have a material adverse effect on
the breaching party, and such breach is not cured within thirty
(30) days of notice by the breaching party of the breach or
such breach cannot be cured prior to the closing of the merger
agreement; |
|
|
|
by either party, if the other party has breached any covenant or
agreement in the merger agreement, if such breach has had or is
likely to have a material adverse effect on the breaching party,
and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days of
notice by the breaching party of the breach or such breach
cannot be cured prior to the closing of the merger agreement; |
|
|
|
by Halo, if the management or board of directors of Unify fails
to hold a stockholders meeting to consider the merger agreement,
fails to recommend to its stockholders the approval of the
merger agreement, fails to oppose a third party proposal that is
inconsistent with the merger agreement, or violates the No
Solicitation covenant of the merger agreement; or |
|
|
|
by either party, if Unify agrees to enter into a superior
proposal in compliance with the No Solicitation
covenant of the merger agreement, provided that Unify complies
with the Termination Fee requirements in the merger
agreement. |
Effects of Termination
If the merger agreement is terminated as described above, it
will become void, without any liability or obligation on the
part of Halo, Merger Sub, or Unify or their respective
directors, officers, or stockholders, except with respect to the
treatment of confidential information, payment of expenses as
provided for in the merger agreement, to the extent that such
termination results from the willful breach of a partys
representations or warranties or covenants or agreements, or
knowing misrepresentation in connection with the merger
agreement.
Termination Fee
Unify will be required to pay a termination fee of $600,000 to
Halo if the merger agreement is terminated under the following
circumstances:
|
|
|
|
|
if (i) an alternative acquisition proposal is made or
intended to be made directly to Unifys stockholders or is
otherwise publicly announced, (ii) such proposal is not
irrevocably and publicly |
86
|
|
|
|
|
withdrawn, and (iii) the merger agreement is then
terminated by either party because the merger has not been
consummated by September 30, 2006, due to the Unify
stockholders meeting not occurring due to such proposal or the
Unify stockholders failing to vote in favor of the adoption of
the merger agreement; |
|
|
|
Unifys board withdraws its recommendation, fails to call a
stockholders meeting to consider the merger agreement, fails to
oppose a third party proposal that is inconsistent with the
merger agreement, or violates the No Solicitation
clause of the merger agreement, and Halo terminates the
agreement; or |
|
|
|
If Unify agrees to enter into a superior proposal in compliance
with the No Solicitation clause of the merger
agreement and the merger agreement is terminated by either party. |
Expenses
All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the merger
agreement will be paid by the party incurring such expense,
except that:
|
|
|
|
|
Halo shall pay the registration statement filing fee; and |
|
|
|
The cost of printing the registration statement and proxy
materials will be borne one-half (50%) by Halo and one-half
(50%) by Unify. |
Amendment, Extensions, Waivers
Unify and Halo may amend the merger agreement in writing at any
time before or after the Unify stockholders approve the merger
agreement. However, after such approval by the Unify
stockholders, the merger agreement cannot be amended in any way
that would reduce the amount or change the form of merger
consideration to be delivered to the Unify stockholders other
than as contemplated by the merger agreement. Any amendment must
be in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties.
At any time prior to the completion of the merger, Unify or Halo
may extend the time for performance of any of the obligations or
other acts of the parties, waive any inaccuracies in the
representations and warranties in the merger agreement or in any
document delivered pursuant to the merger agreement, or waive
compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in
the merger agreement. Any agreement of extension or waiver must
be in writing.
AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE MERGER
Stockholder Agreements
As an inducement to Halo entering into the merger agreement,
Unify stockholders holding shares representing 33% of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote at the special meeting have
executed and delivered a stockholder agreement. Under the
stockholder agreement, each such holder has agreed to vote all
shares of Unify stock owned by such holder in favor of the
merger, the merger agreement, and all related agreements. In
addition, each such holder has irrevocably appointed Halo as its
lawful attorney and proxy to vote all Unify stock owned by such
holder in favor of the approval and adoption of the merger
agreement and all transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement. The stockholder agreements terminate upon the
termination of the merger agreement or upon receipt by Unify of
a superior offer under the merger agreement.
A copy of the form of stockholder agreement is attached as
Annex C to this proxy statement/ prospectus.
87
Ownership of Halo Following the Merger
If we complete the merger, the actual number of shares of Halo
common stock that you will receive in the merger will be
determined by multiplying the total number of shares of Unify
common stock that you own by 0.437, rounded down to the nearest
whole share.
Assuming (1) Halo has 30,852,791 shares of common
stock issued and outstanding as of the closing of the merger
(after satisfaction of the closing condition to the merger that
the holders of outstanding shares of Halos preferred stock
and holders of certain Halo convertible promissory notes convert
those securities into shares of common stock of Halo and
assuming that no shares have yet been issued in the InfoNow
transaction), and (2) that 29,523,608 shares of Unify
common stock are issued and outstanding as of the second
business day prior to the closing of the merger, Unify
stockholders would receive 12,901,817 shares of Halo common
stock in the merger and would hold approximately 29% of the
issued and outstanding common stock of Halo after the merger.
CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING HALO
Halo is sometimes referred to throughout this section as
we, us, our and the
Company.
Historical Background
Halo 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. Halo obtained
an interest in one mining property with mining claims on land
located near Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. To finance
its exploration activities, Halo 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. Halo conducted its
exploration program on the mining property and the results did
not warrant further mining activity. Halo then attempted to
locate other properties for exploration but was unable to do so.
The Acquisition of Warp Solutions
On May 24, 2002, Halo 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 Halo, 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 Halo and the
operations of Warp Solutions became the sole operations of Halo.
Subsequent to the closing of the Warp Solutions Share Exchange,
Halo ceased all mineral exploration activities and the sole
operations of Halo were the operations of its subsidiary, Warp
Solutions.
The Upstream Merger and Name Change
On August 19, 2002, the board of directors of Halo
authorized and approved the upstream merger of WARP Technology
Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Halo which had no
operations, with and into Halo pursuant to Chapter 92A of
the Nevada Revised Statutes. The upstream merger became
effective on August 21, 2002, when Halo 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, Halo changed its name from
Abbott Mines Ltd. to WARP Technology Holdings, Inc.
In February, 2006, Halos board of directors approved
resolutions to change the Companys name from Warp
Technology Holdings, Inc. to Halo Technology Holdings, Inc. by
amending 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.
88
The Acquisition of Spider Software, Inc.
On January 10, 2003, Halo, 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 Halo 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. Halo 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 Halo. As a result,
following the closing, Spider became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of 6043577 Canada Inc. and thereby an indirect, wholly-owned
subsidiary of Halo.
Acquisition of Gupta Technologies, LLC
On January 31, 2005, Halo 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 Halo and Gupta Holdings, LLC.
Under the Gupta Agreement, the total purchase price was
$21,000,000, excluding transaction costs, of which Halo
delivered $15,750,000 in cash on or before the closing. The
remainder of the purchase price was paid in Halo equity and debt
securities. As a result, following the closing, Gupta became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Halo.
Acquisition of Kenosia Corporation
On July 6, 2005 Halo 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.
Kenosias 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, Halo completed the acquisition of
Tesseract and four other companies; DAVID Corporation, Process
Software, ProfitKey International, and Foresight Software, Inc.
(collectively Process and Affiliates).

The purchase price for the acquisition of DAVID Corporation,
Process Software, ProfitKey International, and Foresight
Software was an aggregate of $12,000,000, which Halo 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 Halo, 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, Halo 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
1,818,182 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, Halo must pay Platinum a monthly transaction advisory fee
of $50,000 per month, commencing December 1, 2005. At
December 31, 2005, Halo 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
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 Halo, 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 Halos 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
Halo 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 Halo. The merger consideration
consisted of 1,438,455 shares of common stock. Based on the
closing price
90
of Halos 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. Halo intends to
integrate Empagio with additional HR solutions already within
its portfolio to create a premier human resources management
solutions provider. Empagios operations have been
consolidated with the operations of Tesseract and the
consolidated entity operates under the name Empagio.
Acquisition of ECI
On January 30, 2006, Halo 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 became a wholly owned subsidiary of Halo. 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 Halos common stock (with a value of
$558,829 at the closing price of Halos common stock),
subject to adjustment based on the Net Working Capital (as
defined in the ECI Merger Agreement) on the closing date. The
acquisition of ECIs clients will enhance Empagios
human resources software offerings. ECIs operations will
be consolidated with the operations of Empagio.
Agreement to Acquire InfoNow
On December 23, 2005, Halo entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the InfoNow Merger Agreement) with a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and InfoNow in a
transaction valued at $7.2 million. Pursuant to the InfoNow
Merger Agreement, the merger subsidiary will be merged with and
into InfoNow, with InfoNow surviving the merger as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Halo.
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
InfoNows 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. InfoNows 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.
Under the terms of the InfoNow Merger Agreement, which was
approved by both companies boards of directors, each share
of InfoNows common stock outstanding immediately prior to
the merger will be converted into the right to receive
approximately $0.71 in a combination of cash and common stock of
Halo. The amount of cash per share to be received in the merger
by InfoNow stockholders will be determined by the amount of
InfoNows cash on hand and net working capital available to
it three days prior to the closing. The lesser of the two
amounts will be paid in cash by Halo pro rata in proportion to
each stockholders ownership in InfoNow at the closing of
the merger. The remainder of the approximately $0.71 per
share merger consideration will be paid in shares of Halo common
stock, the value of which will be deemed to be the greater of
$1.00 or the average closing price of Halos 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
InfoNow Conversion Price). The merger is intended to
qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)
of the Code.
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 Halo common
stock to the extent that the approximately $0.71 per share
merger consideration exceeds the applicable exercise price. The
amount of cash and Halo common stock to be issued in respect of
the outstanding
in-the-money stock
91
options as described above will be calculated based upon the
relative proportions of the cash and Halo common stock issued in
the merger in respect of the outstanding InfoNow common stock.
Halo will also issue a contingent value right (a
CVR) in respect of each share of Halo 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 Halos
common stock (based on a
20-day average) is less
than the InfoNow 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 Halos common stock is
not less than 200,000 per day, the stock price is 175% of
the InfoNow Conversion Price. The shares of Halo common stock
and related CVRs to be issued in the merger are expected to be
registered with the SEC.
The InfoNow Merger Agreement includes representations and
warranties regarding, among other things, InfoNows
corporate organization and capitalization, the accuracy of its
reports and financial statements filed under the Exchange Act,
the absence of certain changes or events relative to InfoNow
since September 30, 2005, and InfoNows receipt of a
fairness opinion regarding the merger from its financial
advisor. Similarly, Halo makes representations and warranties
regarding, among other things, its corporate organization and
capitalization and the accuracy of its reports and financial
statements filed under the Exchange Act. The InfoNow Merger
Agreement also includes covenants governing, among other things,
InfoNows and Halos operations outside the ordinary
course of business prior to the closing. Consummation of the
merger is subject to several closing conditions, including,
among others, approval by a majority of InfoNows common
shares entitled to vote thereon, negotiation of the final terms
of the CVR agreement and the effectiveness of a registration
statement on
Form S-4 to be
filed by Halo, registering the shares of Halo common stock and
related CVRs to be issued in the merger. In addition, the merger
agreement contains certain termination rights allowing InfoNow,
Halo or both parties to terminate the agreement upon the
occurrence of certain conditions, including the failure to
consummate the merger by July 31, 2006. The InfoNow Merger
Agreement is expected to close in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2006.
Under separate stockholder agreements executed at time of the
execution of the InfoNow Merger Agreement, each member of the
board of directors of InfoNow has agreed to vote the shares of
InfoNow held by such director in favor of the merger.
Business of Halo
Halo is a holding company whose subsidiaries operate enterprise
software and information technology businesses. The following
pages describe the business of Halos existing
subsidiaries, Gupta Technologies, LLC, Warp Solutions, Kenosia
Corporation, Tesseract Corporation, DAVID Corporation, Process
Software, ProfitKey International, Foresight Software, Inc.,
Empagio and ECI. In addition to holding its existing
subsidiaries, Halos strategy is to pursue acquisitions of
businesses, which either complement Halos existing
businesses or expand the industries in which Halo operates.
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.
Guptas 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
92
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. Guptas 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 Guptas 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 by
the Company from Gupta Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Platinum.
Gupta is based in Redwood Shores, California with offices in
Munich, London, and Paris. It has over 1,000 customers in over
50 countries.
In addition to the Gupta businesses, Halo operates in the United
States, Canada and the U.K. through its subsidiaries, Warp
Solutions, Inc. 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. These
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.
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 infrastructures 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

Halo has integrated the operations of Empagio and Tesseract and
has merged those entities. The intent is to create a premier
human resources management solutions provider. Halo also intends
to integrate the operations of ECI and merge ECI into Empagio.
94
ECI is a human resource solutions provider. Halo is integrating
the business of ECI, including its clients and delivery assets,
into its Empagio subsidiary.
Halo currently uses both indirect and direct sales models, based
on geography. In Europe, Halo uses an indirect sales channel
relying on VARs and distributors to sell its products to end
users. Halos sales and marketing team in Europe works
directly with its VAR partners to help them market and sell
Halos 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, Halo relies on direct sales force to
sell its products. Halo is currently working on developing an
indirect channel in North America. Halo is targeting VARs and
ISVs, similar to ones Halo is successfully working with in
Europe, to partner with in selling Halos products.
Throughout Latin America and AsiaPacific, Halo uses an indirect
sales model similar to Europe. It is Halos intent to
increase its marketing activities worldwide in fiscal 2006 to
increase Halo brand awareness, attract new partners and
customers and generate increased revenues.

Software Product Development |
Halos software development effort is based in its North
American offices with another 30 full-time contractors
based in India. It is Halos intent to continue developing
enhanced functionality in Halos existing products.
|
|
|
Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights |
We regard certain aspects of Halos 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 Halos 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 Halos
business, operating results and financial condition.
Halo 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 Halos software.
The source code for Halos software products is protected
both as a trade secret and as a copyrighted work. Some of
Halos customers are beneficiaries of a source code escrow
account arrangement which enables the customer to obtain a
contingent future limited right to use Halos source code
solely for the customers internal use. If Halos
source code is accessed, the likelihood of misappropriation or
other misuse of Halos intellectual property may increase.
We believe that Halos 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 Halo in the
future with respect to current or future products or that any
such assertion will not require Halo to enter into royalty
arrangements or result in litigation.
The market for Halos products and services is extremely
competitive and contains a number of companies that are larger,
more established and better financed than Halo. Competitors
include Microsoft, Oracle, Sybase, Cisco and many other
companies. To the extent that our products or services have a
95
competitive advantage, due to the fact that there are larger,
better capitalized companies in the marketplace, there is no
assurance that Halo can maintain a competitive position.
Halo does not use any raw materials in its business.
|
|
|
Dependence on Major Customers |
Halo has no customer that accounted for more than 10% of
Halos revenues in fiscal 2004. In fiscal 2005, Halo had
one customer that accounted for approximately 15% of Halos
revenue.
During the fiscal year 2004, Halo spent approximately $812,000
on research and development of its products. During the fiscal
year 2005, Halo spent approximately $1,589,000 on research and
the development of its products. The pricing of Halos
products reflects, among other things, the cost of their
development as well as the cost of the component parts and
applicable license fees.
As of June 30, 2005, Halo 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, Halo 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 Halos employees are covered by a labor
union or collective bargaining agreement.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis provides information that
Halos management believes is relevant to an assessment and
understanding of Halos results of operations and financial
condition. This discussion is based on, and should be read
together with, Halos consolidated financial statements,
and the notes to such financial statements, which are included
in this proxy statement/prospectus. This proxy statement/
prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. Halos actual results may differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements. References to we, us and

Operations section are references to Halo.
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
Staffs views regarding the valuation of share-based
payment arrangements for public companies. Halo intends to
96
follow the interpretative guidance on share-based payment set
forth in SAB 107 during Halos adoption of
SFAS 123R.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of Halos financial condition
and results of operations is based on Halos 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 Halos business operations and the
understanding of Halos results of operations. We believe
the following critical accounting policies and the related
judgments and estimates affect the preparation of Halos
consolidated financial statements:
Halo 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, Halo 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 Halo does
not have vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value of
maintenance, and maintenance is the only undelivered item, Halo
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 Guptas 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
97
agreements, consulting contracts, customer contracts and
acquired developed technologies and patents; the acquired
companys brand awareness and market position, as well as
assumptions about the period of time the acquired brand will
continue to be used in the combined companys product
portfolio; and discount rates. Unanticipated events and
circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or
validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.
We have acquired several software companies in fiscal 2006, and
we plan to make more acquisitions in the future. Acquired
deferred revenue is recognized at fair value to the extent it
represents a legal obligation assumed by us in accordance with
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue
No. 01-03, Accounting in a Business Combination for
Deferred Revenue of an Acquiree. Under this guidance, Halo
estimates fair values of acquired deferred revenue by adding an
approximated normal profit margin to the estimated cost required
to fulfill the obligation underlying the deferred revenue. As a
result of this valuation, the deferred revenues of the acquired
companies normally decrease substantially. In the enterprise
software industry, this reduction averages between forty to
sixty percent of the original balance. The reduction of the
deferred revenue has a negative effect on the recognized revenue
until the deferred revenue balance builds up to a normal level
of the acquired business. The length of this effect depends on
contracts underlying the deferred revenue. As Halo continues to
acquire more businesses in the enterprise software industry, the
effect of this deferred revenue valuation will have significant
effect on Halos 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 Halos product
development process, technological feasibility is established
upon the completion of a working model. Costs incurred by Halo
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.
98
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.
Halo 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 Halos
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, Halos net loss and loss per share
would have been reduced to amounts disclosed in Note 2 to
the financial statements under caption Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies Stock Based
Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) became 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.
Results of Operations
Revenue is derived from the licensing of software, maintenance
contracts, training, and other consulting services. License
revenue is derived from licensing of our software and
third-party software products. Services revenue results from
consulting and education services, and maintaining, supporting
and providing periodic unspecified upgrades for previously
licensed products.
Total revenue increased by $5.3 million to
$5.4 million for the three months ended December 31,
2005 from $107,000 for the three months ended December 31,
2004. Total revenue increased by $8.3 million to
$8.6 million for the six months ended December 31,
2005 from $265,000 for the six months ended December 31,
2004. During the twelve months ending June 30, 2005, Halo
recognized approximately $5,124,000 of revenues, compared to
$882,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2004. The
total revenue of $5.4 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2005 was primarily due to the acquisitions of
Gupta, $2.8 million, Kenosia, $183,000, Tesseract,
$737,000, and Process and Affiliates, $1.6 million. 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. Services revenue increased $5.7 million to
$5.8 million for the six months ended December 31,
2005 from $53,000 for the six months ended December 31,
2004. The total service revenue increase of $3.9 million
for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily
due to the acquisitions of Gupta, $1.8 million, Kenosia,
$178,000, Tesseract, $736,000, and Process and Affiliates,
$1.2 million. 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, Halos operating strategy is to
continue to acquire technology companies. Each of such
transactions will cause a change to our future financial
results. Halo believes such transactions will have a positive
effect on Halos revenues and income (loss) before interest.
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 $959,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 2005 was due to the acquisitions of Gupta,
$270,000, Kenosia, $107,000, Tesseract, $179,000, and Process
and Affiliates, $403,000. 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 principal components of cost of license fees are
manufacturing costs, shipping costs, and royalties paid to
third-party software vendors. Cost of license revenue increased
by $115,000 to $155,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 2005 from $40,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 2004. Cost of license revenue increased by
$147,000 to $201,000 for the six months ended December 31,
2005 from $54,000 for the six months ended December 31,
2004. 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)
Halo 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
Halo sells due to its Gupta subsidiary, which was acquired in
January 2005.
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. Research and
development expenses increased by approximately
$2.4 million to $2.5 million for the six months ended
December 31, 2005 from $113,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 2004. Product development expenses were
approximately $1,589,099 and $812,000 for the twelve months
ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively.
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.
Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries,
commissions, benefits, advertising, tradeshows, travel and
overhead costs for Halos 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. Sales, marketing and
business development expenses were approximately $3,652,000 and
$2,310,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005 and
June 30, 2004, respectively. The increase of
$1.8 million in sales and marketing expense was directly
attributable to the acquisitions of Gupta, $1.4 million,
Kenosia, $17,000, Tesseract, $49,000, and Process and
Affiliates, $267,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 2004. The increase of $3.0 million in
sales and marketing expense was directly attributable to 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
101
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
Halos operations, as Halo 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 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 Halos
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
Halo 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, Halo 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.
Halo 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
Halo has three primary cash needs. These are
(1) operations, (2) acquisitions and (3) debt
service and repayment. Halo 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, Halo 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
102
portion of outstanding debt. For the years ended June 30,
2005 and 2004 Halo used approximately $3.4 and
$4.8 million, respectively to fund its operations.
As of June 30, 2005 Halo used approximately
$15.8 million for investing activities. Halo 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 Halo 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, Halo issued $2,500,000 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 Halo 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.
Halo entered into a $50,000,000 credit facility with Fortress
Credit Opportunities I 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
Halo 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, Halo 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.,
Halo entered into Amendment Agreement No. 1
(Amendment Agreement) to the Credit Agreement under
which the Lenders 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 Halo completes further acquisitions, Halo and the
other parties to the credit agreement will agree upon
modifications to the financial covenants to reflect the changes
to Halos 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 Halo 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 Halo
or its subsidiaries and third parties will constitute an event
of default under the Credit Agreement.
Halos obligations under the Credit Agreement are
guaranteed by the direct and indirect subsidiaries of Halo, and
any new subsidiaries of Halo are obligated to become guarantors.
Halo 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, Halo 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
103
concerning the security interests and rights granted to the
Lenders. Any new subsidiary of Halo will become subject to the
same provisions.
On September 20, 2005, Halo 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. Under the
Series E Subscription Agreement, the holder of the
September 2005 note had the right, in the event that Halo
completed or entered into agreements to sell equity securities
on or before February 15, 2006, to convert the securities
received under the Series E Subscription Agreement into
such other equity securities as if the investor had invested the
amount invested in such securities. The holder of the September
2005 Note has indicated to Halo 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.
On October 26, 2005, as part of the acquisition of
Tesseract, Halo 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 common stock of Halo, provided
that until such shares are registered, interest shall be paid in
cash. The Platinum Note contains certain negative covenants
including that Halo 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) Halo shall fail to pay the principal and interest when
due and payable: (b) Halo fails to pay any other amount
under the Platinum Note when due and payable: (c) any
representation or warranty of Halo 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 Halo or any Halo subsidiary
of $50,000 or more in aggregate principal amount; (e) Halo
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
Halo or any Halo subsidiary; (g) Halo 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 Halo or a Halo subsidiary. Upon such an event of
default, the holder may, at its option, declare all amounts owed
under the Platinum Note to be due and payable.
On October 21, 2005, Halo 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 Halo in Halos next financing involving sales by Halo 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 Halo
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 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 Halo 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 Halo that it intends to exercise this right and
receive the same securities as were issued under the January
2006 Subscription
104
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, Halo issued warrants (the
October 2005 Warrants) to purchase an aggregate of
363,636 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share of
Halo. 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 Halo 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 Halo common stock. This provision is
waivable by the holder on 60 days notice.
On October 14, 2005, one of Halos directors, David
Howitt, made a short-term loan to Halo 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 has the right, in the event that Halo
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
Halo 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 Halo 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, Halo used
approximately $16,425,928 for investing activities. During the
same period, Halo 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, Halo 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. Halo 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.
Halo continues to evaluate strategic alternatives, including
opportunities to strategically grow the business, enter into
strategic relationships, make acquisitions or enter into
business combinations. Halo can provide no assurance that any
such strategic alternatives will come to fruition and may elect
to terminate such evaluations at any time.
Halos 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 Halos ability to maintain its
current customers and successfully market its products, as well
as any future acquisitions it undertakes. Halo intends to meet
its cash needs, as in the past, through
105
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, Halo will have to issue further
equity and engage in further debt transactions. There can be no
guarantee that Halo will be successful in such efforts. In the
absence of such further financing, Halo 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 Halos common stock.

Series E Notes and Series E Subscription
Agreements |
On January 11, 2006, Halo 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 Halos 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 Halos 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 Halos 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 Halo 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 Halo 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 Halo
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, Halo 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, Halo 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 Halo
into Series E Stock and Warrants.
106
The material terms of the Subscription Agreements are as
follows. Halo 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, Halo agreed to file with the SEC
a registration statement covering the Halo common stock
underlying the Series E Stock and the Series E
Warrants, and any common stock that Halo 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 Halo, at $2.00 per
share of common stock (as adjusted for stock splits, reverse
splits, and stock dividends) or a 20% discount to the prior
30 day trading period, whichever is lower. Each such
investors right shall be his, her or its pro rata amount
of the initial offering.
In the event that Halo 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. Halo 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 Halo 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 Halo. 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 Halo board of directors
decisions approving these transactions.
Investors under the Series E Subscription Agreements have
indicated to Halo 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, Halo 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.
107
Each January 2006 Convertible Note shall convert into
(i) such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of
Halos 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 Halos 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
Halo 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
Halo, convert all or a portion of the principal and interest due
under such holders January 2006 Convertible Notes into
common stock and January 2006 Warrants provided that at each
such conversion the total number of shares of common stock then
beneficially owned by such holder does not exceed 9.99% of the
total number of issued and outstanding shares of Halo common
stock. By written notice to Halo, 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 Halo.

January 2006 Subscription Agreements |
Also on January 27 and January 30, 2006, Halo entered into
certain Subscription Agreements (the January 2006
Subscription Agreements) for the sale of the January 2006
Convertible Notes and the underlying common stock and January
2006 Warrants.
The material terms of the January 2006 Subscription Agreements
are as follows. Halo and the investors under the January 2006
Subscription Agreements made certain representations and
warranties customary in private financings, including
representations from the Investors that they are
accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a)
of Regulation D (Regulation D) under the

following the closing, the holders shall receive a number of
shares of common stock equal to 1.5% of the number of shares
received upon conversion of the January 2006 Convertible Notes
for each 30 days thereafter during which the Registrable
Shares have not been registered, subject to a maximum penalty of
9% of the number of shares received upon conversion of the
January 2006 Convertible Notes.
The January 2006 Subscription Agreements allow the Investors to

Halo. Halo agreed that it will maintain the registration
statement effective under the Securities Act until the earlier

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

common stock or a 20% discount to the prior 30 day trading
108
period, whichever is lower; provided that the price per share
shall not be less than $1.25. Each investors portion of
this follow-on right shall be such investors pro rata

they may invest pursuant to this follow-on right; subsequent to
the completion of the full round of $10,000,000 the investors
may invest the remainder of the amount which they may invest
pursuant to this follow-on right.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the January 2006
Subscription Agreements, the number of shares of common stock
that may be acquired by any investor upon any exercise of this
follow-on right (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be
limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such

of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Halo
common stock. By written notice to Halo, any investor may waive
this provision, but any such waiver will not be effective until
the 61st day after such notice is delivered to Halo.

Halo has, within the last five years: (i) had a bankruptcy
petition filed by or against any business of which such person
was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of
the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
(ii) been convicted in a criminal proceeding or is
currently subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding
traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); (iii) been

reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent
jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring,
suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of
business, securities or banking activities; (iv) been found
by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission
or SEC) or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities
law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or
vacated. There are no family relationships among any directors
and executive officers of Halo.
Audit Committee and Financial Expert
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 Halos system of internal controls over financial
reporting. Halo does not currently have a written audit
committee charter or similar document.
Although Halo 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 NASDs listing standards.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Committee and Compensation Report
The Halo 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 Halo 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 Halo for their activities
on Halos behalf.

Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) Awards Table
Halo made no long-term incentive awards in the fiscal year ended
on June 30, 2005.
Compensation of Directors
Halo has a verbal agreement with each of the non-employee
directors pursuant to which Halo has agreed to pay each
non-employee director (Messrs. Howitt, Boehmer and Lotke)
either $30,000 in cash annually or options to acquire
45,000 shares of common stock. Directors receive no
additional compensation for serving on committees of the board
of directors. The Compensation Committee determines annually
whether the non-employees directors will receive cash or
options. With respect to the fiscal year ending June 30,
2006, on September 13, 2005, the Compensation Committee as
compensation for serving as members of the Board of Directors
granted each of Messrs. Howitt, Boehmer and Lotke an option
to acquire 45,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of 1.08 per share. The options have a ten year term
and vest 25% on December 31, 2005 and ratably each month
over the next 36 months provided that the director remains
a director of Halo. These options were awarded subject to the
approval of the Halo Technology Holdings 2005 Equity Incentive
Plan. If the Plan is not approved by the stockholders, the
non-employee directors will instead receive cash compensation.
Mr. Bienvenu, Halos Chief Executive Officer, receives
no additional compensation for his service on the board of
directors.
Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment and Change in
Control Arrangements
Halo entered into a written employment agreement with Rodney A.
Bienvenu, Jr., its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer as
of August 4, 2004. Under the terms of this agreement, Halo
agreed to pay
114
Mr. Bienvenu a monthly salary of $25,000 beginning on
August 4, 2004 through December 31, 2005. Upon
execution of the agreement, Mr. Bienvenu was entitled to
receive a payment equal to $37,500. In addition,
Mr. Bienvenu agreed to defer 20% of his base salary for a
period of time while Halo had little operating capital. This
period lasted through March 2005. Under the agreement,
Mr. Bienvenu was also entitled to receive an amount equal
to 25% of his annual base salary upon the completion of the
Gupta acquisition. This amount has not yet been paid. Halo
expects to pay these deferred amounts in the second quarter of
fiscal 2006. Mr. Bienvenus base salary is subject to
upward adjustment pursuant to the terms of the employment
agreement. In addition to the foregoing, the Board voted to
award Mr. Bienvenu a discretionary bonus in the amount of
$158,000 for fiscal 2005, and awarded him options to acquire
158,000 shares of common stock under Halos 2002
Equity Incentive Plan. The employment agreement automatically
renews for successive one-year terms unless either party gives
notice of his or its intention to terminate at least
60 days prior to the end of the term. Halo may terminate
Mr. Bienvenus employment at any time for Cause (as
defined in the employment agreement) or at any time on or after
June 30, 2005 upon 60 days prior written notice other
than for Cause. Mr. Bienvenu may terminate his employment
at any time for Good Reason (as defined in the employment
agreement) or upon 30 days written notice without Good
Reason. Mr. Bienvenu is eligible for up to 12 months
severance if he is terminated by Halo without Cause or
terminates his employment with Good Reason. Pursuant to the
terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Bienvenu was also
required to execute Halos standard form of Non-Competition
Agreement and Confidential Information Agreement.
Mr. Bienvenu is permitted to continue his activities with
respect to ISIS Capital Management, LLC, Bienvenu Management,
LLC, their affiliates and portfolio companies. In addition,
under the employment agreement, any investment, acquisition or
other opportunities that Mr. Bienvenu may become aware of,
other than through an employee, agent or representative of Halo,
are not to be considered opportunities of Halo but shall be
considered his personal opportunities.
Also as of August 4, 2004, Halo entered into a written
employment agreement with Ernest C. Mysogland, its Executive
Vice President, Chief Legal Officer, and Secretary. Under the
terms of this agreement, Halo agrees to pay Mr. Mysogland a
monthly salary of $14,583.33 beginning on August 4, 2004
through December 31, 2005 as well as an annual bonus upon
the achievement of specified financial and business objectives
as determined by the board of directors. Upon execution of the
employment agreement, Mr. Mysogland was entitled to receive
a payment equal to $21,875. In addition, Mr. Mysogland
agreed to defer 20% of his base salary for a period of time
while Halo had little operating capital. This period lasted
through March 2005. Under the agreement, Mr. Mysogland was
also entitled to receive an amount equal to 25% of his annual
base salary upon the completion of the Gupta acquisition. This
amount has not yet been paid. Halo expects to pay these deferred
amounts in the second fiscal quarter. Mr. Mysoglands
base salary is subject to upward adjustment pursuant to the
terms of the employment agreement. The agreement automatically
renews for successive one-year terms unless either party gives
notice of his or its intention to terminate at least
60 days prior to the end of the term. Halo may terminate
Mr. Mysoglands employment at any time for Cause (as
defined in the employment agreement) or at any time on or after
June 30, 2005 upon 60 days prior written notice other
than for Cause. Mr. Mysogland may terminate his employment
at any time for Good Reason (as defined in the employment
agreement) or upon 30 days written notice without Good
Reason. Mr. Mysogland is eligible for up to 12 months
severance if he is terminated by Halo without Cause or
terminates his employment with Good Reason. Pursuant to the
terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Mysogland was also
required to execute Halos standard form of Non-Competition
Agreement and Confidential Information Agreement.
Mr. Mysogland is permitted to continue his activities with
respect to ISIS Capital Management, LLC, Bienvenu
Management, LLC, their affiliates and portfolio companies. In
addition, under the employment agreement, any investment,
acquisition or other opportunities that Mr. Mysogland may
become aware of, other than through an employee, agent or
representative of Halo, are not to be considered opportunities
of Halo but shall be considered his personal opportunity.
On October 31, 2003, Gupta Technologies, LLC, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Halo, entered into a letter agreement
with Jeffrey A. Bailey, Chief Executive Officer of Gupta and
interim Chief Financial Officer and Principal Financial Officer
of Halo, under which Mr. Bailey became entitled to severance
115
benefits as described therein. In the event Gupta terminates
Mr. Baileys employment without Cause or
Mr. Bailey terminates his employment for Good Reason (as
defined in the letter agreement), Gupta shall pay
Mr. Bailey an amount equal to 12 months of his then
current base salary and he and his dependents will remain
eligible to receive medical, dental, vision health benefits
during the term of the severance payments at the same rates and
under the same conditions applicable to current employees of
Gupta.
On March 3, 2005, Halo entered into an agreement
(Separation Agreement) with Gus Bottazzi related to
Mr. Bottazzis resignation as an officer and director
of Halo. Under the Separation Agreement, Halo committed to issue
to Mr. Bottazzi 200,000 shares of Halos
Series C Preferred Stock. In connection with this
Separation Agreement, Halo recorded a non-cash charge of
$500,000.
On September 13, 2005, Rodney A. Bienvenu, Jr.,
Halos Chief Executive Officer, received stock options for
158,000 shares of Halos common stock. The exercise
price for these options is $1.08 per share (the Fair Market
Value on the date of grant by the Compensation Committee). These
options have a ten year term. 25% of these options vested on
December 31, 2005, and the remaining options vest ratably
over the following 36 months, provided that
Mr. Bienvenu remains with Halo.
At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Halo, held
October 21, 2005, the stockholders of Halo approved the
Halo Technology Holdings 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the
2005 Plan) previously approved by the board of
directors of Halo. The Compensation Committee of the board of
directors of Halo will administer the 2005 Plan, including
selecting the employees, consultants and directors to be granted
Awards under the 2005 Plan and determining the type and size of
each Award and the terms and conditions of each Award.
Halos employees, consultants and directors, or the
employees, consultants and directors of Halos related
companies, may receive Awards under the 2005 Plan. The types of
Awards that may be granted under the 2005 Plan are stock options
(both incentive and non-qualified), stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock,
contract stock, bonus stock and dividend equivalent rights.
Subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar events, the
total number of shares of common stock that can be delivered
under the 2005 Plan is 8,400,000 shares. No employee may
receive options, stock appreciation rights, shares or dividend
equivalent rights for more than four million shares during any
calendar year. No incentive stock option will be granted under
the 2005 Plan after September 13, 2015.
As a result of stockholder approval of the 2005 Plan on
October 21, 2005, certain executive officers and directors
of Halo received options previously approved by the board of
directors of Halo. Rodney A. Bienvenu, Jr., Brian Sisko,
Ernest Mysogland and Jeff Bailey received stock options for
1,800,000 shares, 600,000 shares, 200,000 shares
and 25,000 shares, respectively. The exercise price for
Messrs. Bienvenu and Mysoglands options is
$1.19 per share (110% of Fair Market Value on the date of
grant by the Compensation Committee) and the exercise price for

In November 2002, Halos board of directors approved and
adopted the Warp Technology Holdings, Inc. 2002 Stock Incentive
Plan (the 2002 Plan) as a means through which Halo
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

customers see increases in efficiencies and services, as well as
reductions in costs.
In February 2005, we acquired privately-held Acuitrek Inc., a
provider of policy administration and underwriting solutions for
the alternative risk management market. The acquisition was the
result of our strategy to penetrate specialty, underserved
markets with our solutions. As a result, Unify now offers
solutions in the alternative risk market, in particular public
entity risk pools made up of cities, counties, special
districts, third party administrators and insurance carriers
that administer self-insurance funds for public entities.
Our customers also include corporate information technology
departments (IT), software value added resellers
(VARs), solutions integrators (SIs) and
independent software vendors (ISVs) from a variety
of industries, including insurance, financial services,
healthcare, government, manufacturing and many other industries.
We are headquartered in Sacramento, California with a subsidiary
office in Paris, France and a sales office in the United Kingdom
(UK). We market and sell products directly in the
United States, UK and France, and indirectly through worldwide
distributors in Japan, Russia, South Africa, Italy, Brazil,
Australia and Latin America with customers in more than 45
countries.
Our mission is to deliver infrastructure and application
software solutions that give customers transactional efficiency,
a rich user experience and quality information cost effectively
and with a high degree of customer satisfaction. Our strategy is
to leverage our award-winning technology with our newly acquired
vertical applications to deliver a broad set of solutions to the
market that streamline and automate processes and workflow;
present rich user experiences; and deliver consolidated
information from multiple sources. We believe that by
integrating our technology and applications, we have created a
unique and compelling offering in our marketplace. By combining
best-of-breed
capabilities, we offer customers a better way to manage,
integrate, view and report data to help them drive their
business objectives.
Unify was incorporated in Delaware on April 10, 1996. Over
the past five years we have expanded our product offering from
the ACCELL, DataServer and Vision suite of products to the Unify
NXJ, NavRisk and ViaMode products. We are organized into two
business units comprised of the Insurance Risk Management
division and the Unify Business Solutions division.

|
Insurance Risk Management |
As a result of the acquisition of Acuitrek, we formed the
Insurance Risk Management (IRM) division. The integration
of the companies was completed during the fourth quarter with
IRM now including all former Acuitrek employees, combined with
the addition of Unify resources to support expansion and growth
of the division. The division is responsible for the
development, implementation and sales of the NavRisk suite of
products. NavRisk is a policy administration and underwriting
application that automates labor-intensive processes,
streamlines access to information, and integrates and automates
delivery of information for pools, policy administrators and
brokers.
The NavRisk application is configured uniquely for each customer
based on the customer specific premium rating requirements. The
NavRisk application is generally licensed with a three year term
with additional professional services for customization as
required by the customer. IRM customer contracts are typically
billed at contract signing, a midpoint project milestone and
upon project completion. As a result, the application license
fee is deferred until the customer acceptance is received. Upon
acceptance, the
127
license fee will be recognized, which in some instances can take
up to two quarters. Acuitrek was acquired in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2005 and therefore there were no license revenues for
fiscal 2005.
Unify Business Solutions is comprised of our technology products
and customer base. Our technology products include Unify NXJ,
ACCELL, DataServer and Vision product families. Our customers
are corporate end user IT departments, ISVs and our worldwide
distributors. This division is dedicated to providing
exceptional technology to this customer base and continues to
meet their current and future technology needs. This division
serves our extensive customer installed base including sales and
marketing, support, and professional services. Included in the
division is our driver performance management application,
ViaMode, which was built on our Unify NXJ technology.
NavRisk is an
end-to-end policy
administration and underwriting solution for the alternative
risk market. The NavRisk application automates labor-intensive
processes, improves accuracy and enhances analytical capability
in addition to reducing operating costs. NavRisk combines deep
expertise and understanding of the market with standards-based
technologies and workflow to deliver an integration solution
that automates labor-intensive processes, streamlines access to
information, and integrates and automates delivery of
information for policy administrators and brokers. Key product
features include ad hoc reporting, loss control, flexible rating
and contact management and communications modules to help
customers reduce risk, increase services and boost productivity.
ViaMode: Transportation is a software and services solution
delivered in partnership by Unify and one of our premier domain
partners. The ViaMode solution combines a software application
built on Unify NXJ with professional services within the
transportation efficiency and labor standards space.

transportation, and manufacturing. No single customer accounted
for 10% or more of revenues in fiscal 2005, 2004 or 2003.
|
|
|
Sales, Marketing and Distribution |
Unifys products and professional services are marketed and
distributed to customers globally using a combination of a
direct corporate sales force and indirect distribution channels,
including ISVs, VARs, SIs and worldwide distributors. The
indirect sales channels leverage Unifys sales, support and
consulting resources to provide complete solutions to our
customers.
Our direct sales organization consists of sales representatives
and pre-sales consultants. Our North America sales
representatives are located in our headquarters. We market our
products internationally through offices in the UK, France and
Australia. We have distributors in Asia Pacific, Europe, Japan,
Latin America, Russia and South Africa. International revenues
accounted for 65%, 68% and 54% of total revenues in fiscal 2005,
2004 and 2003 respectively.
Our marketing is focused on generating demand and marketing
awareness for Unify products including efforts to support the
direct and indirect sales channels. Marketing activities include
e-business initiatives,
strategic demand generation, public relations, customer
communications, trade shows and our web site.
As of April 30, 2005, we had 20 employees engaged in sales
and marketing activities, 14 in North America and 6 in Europe.

Customer Support and Professional Services |
Unifys customer support and professional services
organizations play an important role in maintaining customer
satisfaction, facilitating license sales and enabling customers
to successfully architect, design, develop, deploy and manage
applications.
|
|
|
Customer Support and Maintenance |
Unify provides customer support via telephone, Web,
e-mail and fax from its
support centers located in Sacramento, California and Paris,
France. Distribution partners provide telephone support to
international customers with technical assistance from the
U.S.-based support
personnel who also respond to
e-mail inquiries.
Customers are offered tailored support service levels including
response time, information reporting, and other features, such
as 24-hour a day,
seven-day a week support. During each of the past three fiscal
years, over 75% of our support and maintenance customers have
renewed their annual support contracts.
Unify offers a full range of consulting services ranging from
application implementation services including delivering proof
of concepts to completed applications using our technology
infrastructure. Our products allow companies to maximize return
on investment, get to market quickly or be more efficient.
Consulting services include: project implementations and
application updates, business process-centric application
development, Web-enablement, technology/knowledge transfer,
application architecture audits and database tuning. The level
of consulting services is tailored to customer-defined needs and
includes development plans, hands-on development tasks and
project management.
Unify offers education courses provided on a regularly scheduled
basis at Unify training centers located in Sacramento,
California and Paris, France. We also offer
on-site training at
customer facilities.
As of April 30, 2005, we had a total of 13 employees
engaged in providing professional services, 6 in support and 7
in consulting and training. Of those employees, 11 were located
in the United States and 2 were located in Europe.
We focus our development efforts on a combination of new
development for our NavRisk and ViaMode applications and the
Unify NXJ platform, as well as enhancing and broadening the
functionality and ports of our database and application
development products. During fiscal 2005, we developed and
released Unify NXJ Version 10.5, ViaMode, a comprehensive
application platform, as well as additional versions of our
database and tools products. Additionally, we added the NavRisk
policy administration and underwriting solution to our offerings
with the acquisition of Acuitrek.
Our product development expenses for fiscal 2005, 2004, and
2003, were $2.8 million, $3.0 million and
$4.1 million. In fiscal 2004, we made a strategic decision
to focus more resources on sales and marketing initiatives which
reduced product development expenditures 27% in fiscal 2004
compared to fiscal 2003.
Most of our current software products have been developed
internally; however, we have licensed certain software
components from third parties and we may do so again in the
future. We are committed to delivering products that meet
customer and market needs today and in future periods.
Our product development activities are conducted at the
Sacramento, California headquarters facility. As of
April 30, 2005, we had a total of 17 employees in product
development, including 12 software development engineers.
130
We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and
trade-secret laws, non-disclosure agreements and other methods
to protect our proprietary technology. Despite efforts to
protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt
to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information
that we regard as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our
products is difficult, and while we are unable to determine the
extent to which piracy of our software products exists, software
piracy can be expected to be a persistent problem. In addition,
the laws of some foreign countries in which we sell products do
not protect our proprietary rights as fully as do the laws of
the United States. There can be no assurance that our means of
protecting our proprietary rights in the United States or abroad
will be adequate or that competition will not independently
develop similar technology.
Although there are no pending lawsuits against Unify regarding
infringement of any existing patents or other intellectual
property rights and we have not received any notices that we are
infringing or allegedly infringing the intellectual property
rights of others, there can be no assurance that infringement
claims will not be asserted by third parties in the future. If
any such claims are asserted, there can be no assurance that we
will be able to defend such claim or obtain licenses on
reasonable terms. Our involvement in any patent dispute or any
other intellectual property dispute or action to protect trade
secrets and know-how may have an adverse effect on our business,
operating results, and financial condition. Adverse
determinations in any litigation may subject us to significant
liabilities to third parties, require us to seek licenses from
third parties, and prevent us from developing and selling its
products. Any of these situations could have an adverse effect
on our business, operating results and financial condition.
We are dependent on third-party suppliers for certain software
which is embedded in some of our products. Although we believe
that the functionality provided by software which is licensed
from third parties is obtainable from multiple sources or could
be developed by us if any such third-party licenses were
terminated or not renewed or if these third parties fail to
develop new products in a timely manner, we could be required to
develop an alternative approach to developing its products,
which could require payment of additional fees to third parties,
internal development costs and delays and might not be
successful in providing the same level of functionality. Such
delays, increased costs, or reduced functionality could
adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial
condition.
Competition
The market for our software is intensely competitive, subject to
rapid change and significantly affected by new product
introductions and other activities of market participants. With
the Unify NXJ platform, we compete in the market with providers
of application platform suites, integrated services environments
and business process management infrastructure software. These
competitors include BEA Systems, (BEA),
International Business Machines (IBM), Microsoft
Corporation (Microsoft), Oracle Corporation
(Oracle), FileNet Corporation and Pegasystems. With
our NavRisk application, we compete with Computer Sciences
Corporation (CSC) and Valley Oak.
The Company generally derives sales from new project
initiatives, additional deployment of existing applications and
product upgrades. As a result, the key competitive factor is
generally the decision by a customer as to whether or not to
begin a new project initiative or upgrade or keep things status
quo.
As new products and technologies are introduced, increased
competition could result in fewer customer orders, reduced
prices and reduced gross margins, any one of which could
adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial
condition. In addition, current and potential competitors may
make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative
relationships among themselves or with third parties, thereby
increasing the ability of their products to address the needs of
our prospective customers. Accordingly, it is possible that new
competitors or alliances among current and new competitors may
emerge and gain significant market share. Such competition could
adversely affect our ability to sell additional licenses and
maintenance and support renewals on favorable terms.
131
We believe we compare favorably with respect to
comprehensiveness of our offerings; ease of use and rich
interface; product performance, quality and scalability;
customer support and service; and price.
Employees
As of April 30, 2005, we had a total of 60 employees,
including 17 in product development, 20 in sales and marketing,
13 in customer support, consulting, and training, and 10 in
finance, information systems, operations and general
administration. Of these employees, 51 were located in the
United States, 8 were located in Europe and 1 was located in
Australia.
Our success depends in large part on our ability to attract and
retain qualified employees, particularly senior management,
engineering, direct sales and support personnel. The competition
for such employees is intense. There can be no assurance that we
will be successful in attracting or retaining key employees. Any
failure we have in attracting and retaining qualified senior
management, engineering, direct sales, and support personnel
could adversely affect our business, operating results, and
financial condition. None of our employees are represented by a
collective bargaining agreement, nor have we experienced any
work stoppage. We consider our relations with our employees to
be good.
Description of Property
Unifys principal administrative offices and headquarters
are in Sacramento, California where we lease a
38,000 square foot facility. We also lease sales and
support offices in the United Kingdom and France. We believe
that our existing facilities are adequate for our needs and that
suitable additional or alternative space will be available on
commercially reasonable terms as needed.
Legal Proceedings
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 in 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
April 30, 2005, there were 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.

Critical Accounting Policies |
The following discussion and analysis of the Companys
financial condition and results of operations are based upon our
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 us to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets,
132
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of
contingent liabilities. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form
the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions. The areas that require
significant judgment are as follows.
The Company generates revenue from software license sales and
related services, including maintenance and support, and
consulting services. The Company licenses its products to end
user customers, independent software vendors (ISVs),
international distributors and value added resellers
(VARs). The Companys contracts with ISVs, VARs
and international distributors do not include special
considerations such as rights of return, stock rotation, price
protection, special acceptance or warranty provisions. With the
exception of its NavRisk product, the Company recognizes revenue
for software license sales in accordance with Statement of
Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. For the
NavRisk product, the Company recognizes revenue for software
licenses sales in accordance with Statement of Position 81-1,
Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and
Certain Production-Type Contracts and Accounting Research
Bulletin (ARB) 45, Long-Term Construction Type
Contracts. The Company exercises judgment in connection
with the determination of the amount of software and services
revenue to be recognized in each accounting period. The nature
of each licensing arrangement determines how revenues and
related costs are recognized.
With the exception of the NavRisk software application, the
Companys products are generally sold with a perpetual
license. The Company sells the NavRisk software under both
perpetual and term licenses. Term licenses allow the customer to
use the NavRisk software for a fixed period of time, generally 3
to 5 years, and at the conclusion of the term the customer
must cease using the software or purchase a new license term.
The customer does not receive any additional software during the
license term. Under both perpetual and term licenses the
customer can, at their discretion, elect to purchase related
maintenance and support on an annual basis.
For software license arrangements that do not require
significant modification or customization of the underlying
software, revenue is recognized when the software product or
service has been shipped or electronically delivered, the
license fees are fixed and determinable, uncertainties regarding
customer acceptance are resolved, collectibility is probable and
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.
For arrangements of $10,000 or more a signed noncancelable
license agreement is required for revenue recognition. For
arrangements that are less than $10,000 the Company considers a
customer purchase order, a customer purchase requisition, or a
sales quotation signed by an officer of the customer to be
persuasive evidence that an arrangement exits such that revenue
can be recognized.
For software license arrangements that do require significant
modification or customization of the underlying software,
revenue is recognized based on contract accounting under the
provisions of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) 45,
Long-Term Construction Type Contracts and Statement
of Position (SOP) 81-1, Accounting for
Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type
Contracts. This guidance is followed since contracts with
customers purchasing the NavRisk application require significant
configuration to the software and the configuration activities
are essential to the functionality of the software. The Company
is using the completed-contract method for revenue recognition
as it has limited experience determining the accuracy of
progress-to-completion
estimates for installation hours and project milestones. Under
the completed-contract method, revenue is recognized when the
software product or service has been shipped or electronically
delivered, the license fees are fixed and determinable,
uncertainties regarding customer acceptance are resolved,
collectibility is probable and persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists. Project costs incurred for contracts in
progress are deferred and reflected on the Balance Sheet as
Contracts in Progress. As of January 31, 2006 Contracts in
Progress was $116,000. When a contract is completed, revenue is
recognized and deferred costs are expensed. The
133
Company anticipates it will switch to the
percentage-of-completion
method to recognize NavRisk revenue when it is capable of
accurately establishing
progress-to-completion
estimates for the NavRisk contracts.
The Companys customer contracts include multi-element
arrangements that include a delivered element (a software
license) and undelivered elements (such as maintenance and
support and/or consulting). The value allocated to the
undelivered elements is unbundled from the delivered element
based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the
fair value of the maintenance and support and/or consulting,
regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract.
VSOE of fair value is defined as (i) the price charged when
the same element is sold separately, or (ii) if the element
has not yet been sold separately, the price for the element
established by management having the relevant authority when it
is probable that the price will not change before the
introduction of the element into the marketplace. The Company
then allocates the remaining balance to the delivered element (a
software license) regardless of any separate prices stated
within the contract using the residual method as the fair value
of all undelivered elements is determinable.
We defer revenue for any undelivered elements, and recognize
revenue for delivered elements only when the fair values of
undelivered elements are known, uncertainties regarding customer
acceptance are resolved, and there are no customer-negotiated
refund or return rights affecting the revenue recognized for
delivered elements. If we cannot objectively determine the fair
value of any undelivered element included in bundled software
and service arrangements, we defer revenue until all elements
are delivered and services have been performed, or until fair
value can objectively be determined for any remaining
undelivered elements.
An assessment of the ability of the Companys customers to
pay is another consideration that affects revenue recognition.
In some cases, the Company sells to undercapitalized customers.
In those circumstances, revenue recognition is deferred until
cash is received, the customer has established a history of
making timely payments or the customers financial
condition has improved. Furthermore, once revenue has been
recognized, the Company evaluates the related accounts
receivable balance at each period end for amounts that we
believe may no longer be collectible. This evaluation is largely
done based on a review of the financial condition via credit
agencies and historical experience with the customer. Any
deterioration in credit worthiness of a customer may impact the
Companys evaluation of accounts receivable in any given
period.
Revenue from support and maintenance activities, which consist
of fees for ongoing support and unspecified product updates, are
recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract,
typically one year, and the associated costs are expensed as
incurred. Consulting service arrangements are performed on a
best efforts basis and are generally billed under
time-and-materials arrangements. Revenues and expenses relating
to providing consulting services are recognized as the services
are performed.
|
|
|
Valuation of Other Investments |
At January 31, 2006, we had $214,000 in long-term
investments, which are accounted for under the cost method. We
assess the valuation of long-lived assets whenever circumstances
indicate that there is a decline in carrying value below cost
that is other-than-temporary. Several factors can trigger an
impairment review such as significant underperformance relative
to expected historical or projected future operating results and
significant negative industry or economic trends. In assessing
potential impairment for such investments, we consider these
factors as well as the forecasted financial performance. When
such decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary, we
recognize an impairment loss in the current period operating
results to the extent of the decline.
|
|
|
Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance |
As of January 31, 2006, we have approximately
$21 million of deferred tax assets related principally to
net operating loss carry forwards, reserves and other accruals,
deferred revenue, and foreign tax credits. A valuation allowance
has been recorded to offset these deferred tax assets. The
ability of the Company to
134
ultimately realize its deferred tax assets will be contingent
upon the Company achieving taxable income. There can be no
assurance that this will occur in amounts sufficient to utilize
the deferred tax assets. Should we determine that we would be
able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future in excess
of the recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset
would increase income in the period such determination was made.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment. This Statement establishes standards
for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges
its equity instruments for goods or services, primarily with
respect to transactions in which employee services are obtained
in exchange for share-based payment. Statement 123R is
effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that
begins after June 15, 2005. We have not completed the
process of evaluating the impact that will result from adopting
this pronouncement. The Company is therefore unable to disclose
the impact that adopting FASB Statement 123R will have on
its financial position and the results of operations when such
statement is adopted.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153,
Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB
Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions. This statement addresses the measurement of
exchanges of nonmonetary assets and redefines the scope of
transactions that should be measured based on the fair value of
the assets exchanged. Provisions of this Statement are effective
for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods
beginning after June 15, 2005 and were required to be
adopted by the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The
adoption of Statement 153 did not have a material impact on
our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections a
replacement of APB No. 20 and FAS No. 3.
SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on the accounting for
and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It
establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as
the required method for reporting a change in accounting
principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements
specific to the newly adopted accounting principle.
SFAS No. 154 also provides guidance for determining
whether retrospective application of a change in accounting
principle is impracticable and for reporting a change when
retrospective application is impracticable. The correction of an
error in previously issued financial statements is not an
accounting change. However, the reporting of an error correction
involves adjustments to previously issued financial statements
similar to those generally applicable to reporting an accounting
change retrospectively. Therefore, the reporting of a correction
of an error by restating previously issued financial statements
is also addressed by SFAS No. 154.
SFAS No. 154 is required to be adopted in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not expect the
adoption of this accounting pronouncement to have a material
impact on our financial position, cash flows or results of
operations.

Total revenues for the fiscal 2006 quarter ended
January 31, 2006 were $2.4 million compared to total
revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 which were
$3.0 million. Software license revenue for the quarter
ended January 31, 2006 was $1.0 million compared to
$1.5 million for the same quarter of the prior year. In the
third quarter of the fiscal 2006 the Company experienced a
general softness in the market in all geographic regions
resulting in a decrease in software license revenue compared to
previous quarters. Contributing to the decrease in software
license revenue was the fact that for the third quarter of
fiscal 2006 the Company had only one high dollar software
license contract included in revenue while in prior quarters the
Company has generally had several high value software license
contracts. Services revenue was $1.4 million for the
quarter ended January 31, 2006 and $1.5 million for
the same quarter of the prior year. Included in the fiscal 2006
software license revenue was $0.3 million from NavRisk, the
primary product of Unifys Insurance Risk Management
division.
Total revenues for the nine months ended January 31, 2006
decreased by 8% to $7.8 million from the same period of the
prior year when total revenues were $8.5 million. For the
nine months ended January 31, 2006 software licenses were
$3.4 million and services revenue was $4.4 million.
For the same period in the prior year software licenses revenue
was $3.9 million and services revenue was
$4.6 million. For the nine months ended January 31,
2006 total revenue from NavRisk was $0.8 million which
included $0.5 million in software license revenue and
$0.3 million in services revenue.
136
Cost of software licenses consists primarily of product
packaging and production costs as well as the amortization of
royalties and license fees paid for licensed technology. Cost of
software licenses was $0.1 million for both the three
months ended January 31, 2006 and the three months ended
January 31, 2005. For the nine months ended
January 31, 2006 the cost of software licenses was
$0.4 million compared to $0.3 million for the same
period in the prior year. Cost of software licenses as a percent
of software licenses revenues for the nine months ended
January 31, 2006 was 10.3% as compared to 6.7% for the same
period of fiscal 2005. The increase in the cost of software
licenses was the result of an increase in amortization of
purchased software licenses in fiscal year 2006. Costs
associated with royalties and other direct production costs are
expensed as incurred at the time of the sale and purchased
technology from third parties is amortized ratably over their
expected useful life.
Cost of services consists primarily of employee, facilities and
travel costs incurred in providing customer support under
software maintenance contracts and consulting services as well
as costs associated with providing customization and
implementation services for NavRisk contracts. Total cost of
services was $0.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal
2006 and $0.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2005.
Total cost of services was $1.4 million for the nine months
ended January 31, 2006 compared to $1.1 million for
the same period of the prior year. Cost of services as a percent
of services revenues was 31% for the nine months ended
January 31, 2006 and 23% for the same period of fiscal
2005. The increase in cost of services for the nine months ended
January 31, 2006 was primarily the result of an increase in
the number of personnel providing customization and
implementation services in support of NavRisk contracts. In the
prior year the Company did not have NavRisk as a product line
until February 2005.
Cost of revenues for NavRisk is comprised of both costs
associated with providing consulting services and costs for
contracts that were completed in accordance with the completed
contract method of accounting. Prior to contract completion,
costs are deferred and reflected on the Balance Sheet as
Contracts in Progress. When a contract is completed, revenue is
recognized and deferred costs are expensed. For the three months
ended January 31, 2006 costs of revenues for NavRisk was
$0.3 million.
Product development expenses consist primarily of employee and
facilities costs incurred in the development and testing of new
products and in the porting of new and existing products to
additional hardware platforms and operating systems. Product
development costs were $0.8 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 2006 and $0.7 million for the same period in the
prior year. Product development costs as a percentage of total
revenues were 26% for the nine months ended January 31,
2006 compared to 25% in the same period of fiscal 2005.
|
|
|
Selling, General and Administrative |
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)
expenses consist primarily of salaries and incentive pay,
marketing programs, travel expenses, professional services,
facilities expenses and bad debt expense or recoveries. SG&A
expenses were $1.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal
2006 compared to $2.5 million for the third quarter of
fiscal 2005. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A expenses
were 68% in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and 85% in the
third quarter of fiscal 2005. The $0.9 million reduction in
SG&A was primarily the result of reductions in sales
personnel and marketing expenses. The largest change was in
sales expenses which decreased by $0.5 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to the same period in fiscal
2005. The major components of SG&A for the third quarter of
fiscal 2006 were sales expenses of $0.8 million, marketing
expenses of $0.2 million and general and administrative
expenses of $0.6 million.

Provision for Income Taxes |
No federal or state tax provisions were recorded in the three
and nine month periods ended January 31, 2006, as the
Company has significant net operating loss carryforwards.

The Company generates revenue from software license sales and
related services, including maintenance and support, and
consulting services. We license our software through our direct
sales force in the United States and Europe, and through
indirect channels comprised of distributors, ISVs, VARs, and
other partners worldwide. Revenues from our distributor, ISV and
VAR indirect channels accounted for approximately 51%, 62%, and
54% of our software license revenues for fiscal 2005, 2004 and
2003, respectively. International revenues include all our
software license and service revenues from customers located
outside North America. International revenues accounted for 65%,
68%, and 54% of total revenues in fiscal years 2005, 2004 and
2003, respectively.
Total revenues in fiscal 2005 were $11.3 million, a
decrease of $0.6 million or 5% from fiscal 2004 revenues of
$11.9 million. Total software licenses revenues were
$5.2 million, a decrease of $0.9 million or 15% from
fiscal 2004 while total services revenues were
$6.1 million, an increase of $0.3 million or 5% from
fiscal 2004. Total revenues in fiscal 2004 were
$11.9 million, a decrease of $0.2 million or 2% from
fiscal 2003 revenues of $12.2 million. Total software
license revenues increased by $0.2 million or 4% from
fiscal 2003 while total service revenues decreased
$0.5 million or 7% from fiscal 2003.
For fiscal 2005, the decrease in software license revenues of
$0.9 million as compared to fiscal 2004 consists of new
product revenues from our application products of
$0.1 million, offset by a $0.2 million or 24% decrease
in NXJ licenses, and a $0.8 million or 15% decrease in the
database and tools products. The expected revenue growth from
Unify NXJ did not materialize in fiscal 2005 as we had limited
success attracting new customers, despite multiple NXJ product
awards and customer success stories. We did
138
experience customer wins from the Companys existing
installed base of IT and ISV customers and expect to see this
trend continue during fiscal 2006. The decrease in database and
tools product licenses year over year is subject to the timing
of product upgrades, end user customers purchasing additional
runtime licenses or upgrading hardware, and the health of our
partners business and the number of runtime licenses
generated from sales of their applications. Based upon the
performance of the database and tools products for the last
three years, we anticipate these revenues will continue to
decline in fiscal 2006, but at a reduced rate as a result of an
improved database and tools focused sales strategy and
centralized, stronger sales management for all territories. We
expect revenue from the application product families (NavRisk
and ViaMode) to become significant over the next several years
and eventually offset the database and tools revenue declines.
For fiscal 2005, software license revenues from North America
increased to 33% of total software licenses, up from 29% of
total software licenses in fiscal 2004. Software license
revenues from North America in absolute dollars were flat at
$1.7 million. Software license revenues from our European
territory were $2.3 million, a decrease of
$0.2 million or 6%. Software license revenues from our
distribution territories were $1.1 million, down
$0.8 million or 43% from fiscal 2004 representing 80% of
the total software license revenues decrease for fiscal 2005.
The majority of the distribution territories decrease can be
attributed to the Russian territory, with historical performance
that is typically very strong every other year. In fiscal 2004,
the territory had a strong performance followed by a moderate
performance in fiscal 2005. Because of the significance of the
distribution territory and the dramatic impact on the
companys financial performance, we centralized the
management of all the non-European distributors back to
corporate headquarters with the expectation of reversing this
year over year decline. For fiscal 2004, software license
revenues were $6.1 million, an increase of
$0.2 million or 4% from $5.9 million in fiscal 2003.
Software license revenues from North America decreased to 29% of
total software licenses, down from 49% of total software
licenses in fiscal 2003. Software license revenues from North
America were $1.8 million, a decrease of 38% from fiscal
2003. These decreases in software license revenues in North
America were from the decline in database and tools product
licenses year over year as those revenues are subject to the
timing of product upgrades and customers purchasing additional
runtime licenses and the sales team was focused on sales of
Unify NXJ. Sales of Unify NXJ from North America did
substantially increase in fiscal 2004, but the absolute dollars
did not offset the decrease in database and tools product
licenses during the year. Software license revenues from outside
of North America were $4.3 million, an increase of 44% from
fiscal 2003. This increase was primarily from an increase in the
database and tools products revenues with the largest
contribution coming from the Russian territory.
For fiscal 2005, consulting and training revenues were
$0.6 million, an increase of $0.3 million or 100% as
compared to fiscal 2004 as the Company provided additional
consulting services implementing NXJ projects for North American
customers. Consulting revenues for fiscal 2004 were
$0.3 million and $0.7 million in fiscal 2003. In
fiscal 2005, we renewed approximately 79% of our maintenance
agreements, consistent with the previous years. Maintenance
revenues remained consistent at $5.5 million for fiscal
2005, 2004 and 2003. The changes in total services revenue were
entirely attributable to the changes in consulting revenues for
fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003.
Cost of Software Licenses. Cost of software licenses
consists primarily of product packaging and production costs as
well as the amortization of royalties and license fees paid for
licensed technology. Cost of software licenses was
$0.3 million for fiscal 2005, $0.6 million for fiscal
2004 and $0.3 million for fiscal 2003. The increase noted
in fiscal 2004 was the result of higher third party royalties
paid and the amortization of purchased technology. Costs
associated with royalties and other direct production costs are
expensed as incurred at the time of the sale and purchased
technology from third parties are amortized ratably over their
expected useful lives.
Cost of Services. Cost of services consists primarily of
employee, facilities and travel costs incurred in providing
customer support under software maintenance contracts and
consulting services. Total cost of services was
$1.3 million for fiscal 2005, $1.3 million for fiscal
2004 and $1.1 million for fiscal 2003. The
139
increase in fiscal 2004 from fiscal 2003 was the result of
additional costs to support NXJ customers. Cost of services
generally has a high component of fixed costs and therefore does
not fluctuate directly with changes in services revenues. Our
cost of services as a percent of services revenues in fiscal
2005 was 22% as compared to 22% in fiscal 2004 and 18% in fiscal
2003. We continue to carefully monitor and strive to improve the
efficiency of our support, consulting and training operations.
In fiscal 2006, we expect to expand our consulting and
implementation teams as our application product customer wins
increase. As a result, our service costs will increase and, as
there is generally a period of time between when additional
consulting personnel are hired and when they become fully
productive, our results of operations may be adversely affected
by the expansion of our services teams.
Product Development. Product development expenses consist
primarily of employee and facilities costs incurred in the
development and testing of new products and in the porting of
new and existing products to additional hardware platforms and
operating systems. Product development costs were
$2.8 million in fiscal 2005, $3.0 million in fiscal
2004 and $4.1 million in fiscal 2003. The decrease in
fiscal 2004 was primarily the result of a reduction in the work
force in June 2003 as the Company reduced its product
development costs as part of a restructuring designed to afford
increased investments in sales and marketing, particularly for
Unify NXJ. Product development costs as a percentage of total
revenues were 25% in fiscal 2005 and 2004 and 34% in fiscal
2003. The Company believes that investments in product
development are critical to maintaining technological leadership
and therefore intends to continue to devote significant
resources to product development in line with typical software
industry averages.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and
administrative (SG&A) expenses consist primarily
of salaries and incentive pay, marketing programs, travel
expenses, professional services, facilities expenses and bad
debt expense or recoveries. SG&A expenses were
$9.2 million in fiscal 2005, $7.8 million for 2004 and
$6.4 million for 2003. As a percentage of total revenue,
SG&A expenses were 82% in fiscal 2005, 66% in fiscal 2004
and 53% in fiscal 2003. However, included in fiscal 2005
SG&A expenses are $1.1 million of non-operating
expenses for the North American and UK sales management teams
and the conversion of the UK subsidiary to a sales office. As of
April 30, 2005, the Company had a remaining severance
accrual balance of $57,000 which was paid during the first
quarter of fiscal 2005. The major components of SG&A for
fiscal 2005, net of the non-operating expenses, were sales
expenses of $4.8 million, marketing expenses of
$1.2 million and general and administrative expenses of
$2.2 million. Sales expenses increased by
$0.2 million, net of $0.7 million of restructuring and
severance charges. Marketing expenses increased by
$0.6 million as a result of increased spending in lead
generation and analyst relations for the NXJ products. General
and administrative expenses decreased by $0.5 million, net
of $0.4 million of professional services fees for
restructuring the Unify UK subsidiary to a more normalized
expense level. For fiscal 2004, the major components of SG&A
were sales expenses of $4.5 million, marketing expenses of
$0.6 million, and general and administrative expenses of
$2.7 million. Sales expenses increased $1.0 million
from fiscal 2003 as the Company increased its business
development activities, hired a new Vice President of sales and
marketing, and increased its direct sales force and
telemarketing staff to focus on increasing sales of Unify NXJ.
Marketing expenses were flat during the same period. General and
administrative expenses increased by $0.6 million fiscal
2004 compared to fiscal 2003, primarily due to increases in
professional fees associated with legal and accounting.
Write-down of Other Investments. We continue to
periodically review the recorded value of our investments. In
fiscal 2004, we reduced the carrying value of our investment in
Arango Software International, Inc. from $350,000 to its
estimated fair value of $175,000. During fiscal 2003, we
recorded impairment charges of $0.2 million related to
Arango and Evergreen Internet, Inc. We record an investment
impairment charge if and when we believe an investment has
experienced a decline in market value that is other than
temporary. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor
operating results of Arango could result in losses or an
inability to recover the carrying value of the investment,
thereby possibly requiring additional impairment charges in the
future.
140
Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense), net
consists primarily of foreign exchange gains and losses,
interest earned by the Company on our cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments offset by interest expense incurred on
debt. Other income (expense) was $44,000, ($27,000) and $3,000
in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Provision for Income Taxes. For fiscal 2005, we recorded
state income expense of $8,000 and with no federal or foreign
tax provisions due to reported net losses. For fiscal 2004, we
recorded a foreign income tax expense of $9,000 and a federal
tax benefit of $6,000 for federal income tax refunds from prior
periods related to NOL carry backs. For fiscal 2003, we recorded
a foreign income tax benefit as a result of refunds applied for
and a minimal state and federal tax benefit. At April 30,
2005, we had net operating losses for federal tax purposes of
approximately $49.1 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At January 31, 2006, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents of $2.7 million compared to $3.7 million
at April 30, 2005. Working capital was $0.4 million as
of January 31, 2006 and $0.8 million as of
April 30, 2005.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2006 the Company renewed its
loan agreement with the Silicon Valley Bank. The agreement
provides for a $1.0 million revolving line of credit and
for term loans up to $250,000 for the purchase of qualifying
equipment. As of January 31, 2006, the Company had
$0.7 million outstanding under the line of credit and
$0.2 million in available credit based upon eligible assets
at that date. As of January 31, 2006, the company had a

Operating Cash Flows. Cash flows used by operations were
$1.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2006,
compared to a usage of cash for operations of $2.7 million
for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. For the nine months
ended January 31, 2006, operating cash was provided by a
decrease in prepaid expenses of $0.1 million and an
increase in deferred revenue of $0.2 million. Operating
cash was used as a result of increases in accounts receivable of
$0.2 million and contracts in progress of $0.1 million
and decreases in accounts payable of $0.6 million, accrued
compensation of $0.1 million and other accrued liabilities
of $0.4 million.
In fiscal 2005, we had negative cash flows from operations
totaling $2.4 million. This compares to fiscal 2004 and
2003 where cash flows from operations were negative
$0.1 million and positive $0.4 million, respectively.
The negative operating cash flow for fiscal 2005 principally
resulted from $2.4 million in net loss, a $0.3 million
increase in other accrued liabilities, a $0.2 million
decrease in deferred revenue, a $0.1 million increase in
accrued compensation, and a $0.1 million increase in
prepaid expenses and other expenses. Offsetting these amounts
was a $0.4 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $0.1
increase in accounts payable and $0.2 million in
depreciation.
In fiscal 2004, we had negative cash flows from operations
totaling $0.1 million. The negative operating cash flow for
fiscal 2004 principally resulted from $1.0 million in net
loss, offset by both a $0.6 million increase in other
accrued liabilities, and a $0.3 million increase in
deferred revenue. Other
141
factors included $0.2 million in depreciation,
$0.2 million write-down of other investments,
$0.1 million in stock-based expense, together with a
$0.2 million increase in accounts receivable, a
$0.2 million increase in prepaid expenses and offset by a
net $0.1 million increase in accounts payable and accrued
compensation.
In fiscal 2003, we had positive cash flows from operations
totaling $0.4 million. The positive operating cash flow for
fiscal 2003 principally resulted from $0.1 million in net
income, a $1.1 million decrease in amounts owed by
customers, net of a $0.6 million decrease in accrued
liabilities and a $0.6 decrease in deferred revenue. Other
factors include $0.2 million in depreciation,
$0.2 million write-down of other investments, $0.1 in stock
compensation, together with a $0.1 million decrease in
prepaid expenses and offset by a $0.1 million decrease in
accounts payable and a $0.1 million decrease in accrued
compensation.
Investing Cash Flows. For the nine months ended
January 31, 2006 investing activities used cash of
$0.1 million for the purchase of property and equipment.
Net cash and cash equivalents used by investing activities
approximated $0.7 million for fiscal 2005. Net cash and
cash equivalents used by investing activities approximated
$0.2 million in fiscal 2004 and $0.2 million in fiscal
2003. The use of cash by investing activities for fiscal 2005
was $0.2 million for capital expenditures, and
$0.5 million for the purchase of Acuitrek, The use of cash
by investing activities for fiscal 2004 and 2003 was
$0.2 million of capital expenditures for both years.
Financing Cash Flows. Cash provided by financing
activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 was
$0.7 million which was primarily the result of a net
borrowings on the Companys line of credit of
$.7 million, proceeds from issuance of common stock from
stock option exercises and purchases of common stock under the
employee stock purchase plan of $0.1, offset by payments made on
debt obligations of $0.2 million. Cash provided by
financing activities in fiscal 2005 was $0.1 million,
$3.8 million in fiscal 2004 and cash used in financing
activities was $0.4 million in fiscal 2003. The cash
provided in 2005 was the result of $0.1 million from the
proceeds of the issuance of common stock from stock options
exercises and purchases under the employee stock purchase plan
with principal payments and borrowings under debt obligations
offsetting each other. The cash provided in fiscal 2004 was the
result of $3.8 million from the proceeds of the issuance of
common stock from a private financing closed in April 2004, the
issuance of common stock from stock options exercises, and
purchases under the employee stock purchase plan. Cash was also
provided by the collection of notes receivable from a
stockholder of $0.1 million with principal payments and
borrowings under debt obligations offsetting each other. The
cash used in fiscal 2003 was the result of $0.3 million
decrease in amounts payable to minority stockholders, a
$0.2 million repayment of debt obligations and
$0.1 million received for the issuance of our common stock.
The Companys cash flow also reflects a decrease of
$0.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 as a
result of the effect of currency exchange rates related to
international operations.
CERTAIN COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Dividends
We have never paid dividends on our common stock.
Equity Compensation Plan Information
Unify maintains two compensation plans that provide for the
issuance of its Common Stock to officers, directors and
employees. These consist of the 2001 Stock Option Plan (the
Option Plan) and the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (the Purchase Plan), which have been approved
by the stockholders. The 1991 Stock Option Plan, which had a
ten-year life, has expired and has therefore ceased to be
available for new grants. In fiscal 2003, the Unify board
adopted, without a need for shareholder approval, the
2002 Director Restricted Stock Plan (the Director
Restricted Stock Plan) as part of a program to provide
compensation they felt was necessary to attract, retain and
reward members of their board of directors who were willing to
provide the time and energy that we believe is required to meet
our
142
business goals. The following table sets forth information
regarding outstanding options and shares reserved for future
issuance under the foregoing plans as of April 30, 2005:

Material Features of Director Restricted Stock Plan |
On May 1, 2002, Unify established the Director Restricted
Stock Plan as part of a compensation program designed to attract
and retain independent members for its board of directors. The
maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be
issued under the Director Restricted Stock Plan is 500,000. In
May, each independent director is granted a fully vested
restricted stock award for the number of shares which is equal
to $10,000 divided by the fair market value of a share of stock
at the award date. There were 42,556 and 100,000 shares
awarded in the fiscal 2005 and 2004 under this plan,
respectively, and an additional 115,403 shares awarded
during fiscal 2006.
|
|
|
Material Features of Individual Non-Registered Stock
Options |
As of April 30, 2005, the Unify board granted options to
purchase up to 735,000 shares of Unify common stock under
individual, non-plan option agreements. During fiscal 2006
options were granted to purchase an additional
225,000 shares of Unify common stock under individual,
non-plan option agreements. The options and shares issuable
under such agreements are restricted securities under the
Securities Act and may not be issued or sold except under an
effective registration statement or an applicable exemption
there from. The non-plan option agreements contain substantially
similar terms as options issued under Unifys 2001 Stock
Option Plan.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING
AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
At a meeting held on December 15, 2004, Unify dismissed the
firm of Ernst and Young LLP (Ernst and Young) as its
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm effective
December 15, 2004. In addition, the board of directors
approved the engagement of Grant Thornton LLP (Grant
Thornton) as its Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2005. The Audit
Committee of the board of directors approved the change in
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms on
December 15, 2004.
143
The reports of Ernst and Young on Unifys financial
statements for the two fiscal years ended April 30, 2004
did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion
and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope, or accounting principles.
In connection with the audits of Unifys financial
statements for each of the two fiscal years ended April 30,
2004 through the date of dismissal, there were no disagreements
with Ernst and Young on any matters of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and
procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst
and Young, would have caused Ernst and Young to make reference
to the matter in their report.
During the two fiscal years ended April 30, 2004, and
through December 15, 2004, Unify did not consult Grant
Thornton regarding the application of accounting principles to a
specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of
audit opinion that might be rendered on Unifys financial
statements.
On December 15, 2004, pursuant to the approval of the Audit
Committee of Unifys board of directors, Unify engaged
Grant Thornton LLP (Grant Thornton) to serve as its
independent auditors. During the fiscal year ended
April 30, 2004 and during the subsequent period through
December 15, 2004, Unify did not consult with Grant
Thornton on any accounting or auditing issues.
COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
MATTERS
Unify is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware
and Halo is incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada.
The holders of shares of Unify common stock, whose rights as
shareholders are currently governed by Delaware law,
Unifys certificate of incorporation, and Unifys
bylaws, will, pursuant to the merger, become holders of Halo
common stock, and their rights as stockholders will be governed
by Nevada law, Halos articles of incorporation, and the
bylaws of Halo. The material differences between the rights of
holders of Unify common stock and the rights of holders of
shares of Halo common stock, which are summarized below, result
from differences in Delaware and Nevada law and the governing
corporate documents of the two companies.
The following summary does not purport to be a complete
statement of the rights of holders of shares of Halo common
stock under applicable Nevada law, Halos articles of
incorporation, and Halos bylaws or a comprehensive
comparison with the rights of the holders of shares of Unify
common stock under Delaware law, Unifys articles of
incorporation, and Unifys bylaws, or a complete
description of the specific provisions referred to herein. The
identification of specific differences is not meant to indicate
that other equally or more significant differences do not exist.
This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Delaware General Corporation Law and the Nevada Revised Statutes
and the governing corporate documents of Halo and Unify, to
which holders of shares of Unify are referred. See the section
entitled Where You Can Find More Information at
page 154.
Size of Board of Directors
Delaware law permits the board of directors of a Delaware
corporation to change the authorized number of directors by
amendment to the corporations bylaws or in the manner
provided in the bylaws, unless the number of directors is fixed
in the corporations certificate of incorporation, in which
case a change in the number of directors may be made only by
amendment to the certificate of incorporation. The Unify bylaws
provide that the authorized number of directors constituting the
board shall be four, and shall be subject to change as set from
time to time pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of
the board of directors then in office.
Under Nevada law, a corporation may provide in its articles of
incorporation or bylaws for a fixed number of directors or a
variable number of directors within a fixed minimum and maximum
and for the manner in which the number of directors may be
increased or decreased. Halos articles of incorporation
and bylaws provide that the number of directors constituting the
board shall be not less than one and not
144
more than thirteen and the articles of incorporation state that
the number of directors may from time to time be increased or
decreased in such manner as will be provided by the bylaws.
Cumulative Voting
In an election under cumulative voting, each share of stock
normally having one vote is entitled to a number of votes equal
to the number of directors to be elected. A stockholder may then
cast all such votes for a single candidate or may allocate them
among as many candidates as the stockholder may choose, up to
the number of directors to be elected. Without cumulative
voting, the holders of a majority of the shares present at an
annual meeting or any special meeting held to elect directors
would have the power to elect all the directors to be elected at
that meeting, and no person would be elected without the support
of holders of a majority of the shares voting at such meeting.
Under Delaware law, cumulative voting in the election of
directors is not available unless specifically provided for in a
corporations certificate of incorporation. The Unify
certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative
voting.
Under Nevada law, cumulative voting in the election of directors
is only available if the corporations articles of
incorporation provide for such an election. Halos articles
of incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting.
Power to Call Special Stockholders Meeting
Under Delaware law, a special meeting of stockholders may be
called by the board of directors or any other person authorized
to do so in the corporations certificate of incorporation
or bylaws. The Unify bylaws provide that special meetings of
stockholders may be called by the president of Unify, and by the
board of directors.
Nevada law provides that, unless otherwise provided in the
corporations articles of incorporation or bylaws, the
entire board of directors, any two directors or the president
may call special meetings of stockholders. Halos bylaws
provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called at
any time by the holders of 10% of the voting shares of Halo, or
by the president, or by the board of directors or a majority
thereof.
Dissolution
Under Delaware law, a dissolution must be approved by all the
stockholders entitled to vote or the dissolution must be
initiated by the board of directors and approved by the holders
of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the
corporation.
Under Nevada law, if the directors recommend dissolution to the
stockholders, the corporation must then notify each stockholder
entitled to vote on dissolution and the stockholders entitled to
vote must approve the dissolution. Action by the stockholders on
such a matter is approved if at a meeting of the stockholders
the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the
number of votes cast in opposition to the action.
Removal of Directors
Under Delaware law, any director or the entire board of
directors may be removed with or without cause by the holders of
a majority of the shares entitled to vote unless the certificate
of incorporation provides otherwise. Unifys certificate of
incorporation does not provide otherwise.
Under Nevada law, a director may be removed by the vote of the
holders of not less than two-thirds of the voting power of the
voting stock, subject to certain restrictions concerning
cumulative voting. However, a Nevada corporation may include in
its articles of incorporation a provision requiring the approval
of a larger percentage of the voting power to remove a director.
The Halo articles of incorporation do not provide for a larger
percentage of voting power to remove a director.
145
Filling Vacancies on the Board of Directors
Under Delaware law, vacancies on the board of directors and
newly created directorships may be filled by a majority of the
directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, unless
otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws
of the corporation or the certificate of incorporation directs
that a particular class is to elect such director, in which case
any other directors elected by such class, or a sole remaining
director, shall fill such vacancy.
Under Nevada law, all vacancies, including those caused by an
increase in the number of directors, may be filled by a majority
of the remaining directors, even though less than a quorum,
unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation.
The Halo bylaws, like the Unify bylaws, provide that vacancies
may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors though
less than a quorum.
Voting Requirements to Amend Charter Documents and Bylaws
Under Delaware law, unless otherwise specified in a Delaware
corporations certificate of incorporation, an amendment to
the certificate of incorporation requires the affirmative vote
of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon.
Furthermore, under Delaware law, the holders of the outstanding
shares of a class are entitled to vote as a class upon any
proposed amendment to the certificate of incorporation, whether
or not entitled to vote thereon by the provisions of the
corporations certificate of incorporation, if the
amendment would increase or decrease the aggregate number of
authorized shares of such class, increase or decrease the par
value of the shares of such class, or alter or change the
powers, preferences or specific rights of the shares of such
class so as to adversely affect them. The Unify certificate of
incorporation does not contain any provision modifying the
statute with respect to amendments to the certificate of
incorporation.
Delaware law provides that the power to amend the bylaws shall
be in the stockholders, provided that a corporation may in its
certificate of incorporation confer the power to amend the
bylaws upon the directors. Delaware law also provides that
granting the directors the power to amend the bylaws in no way
impairs or limits the power to amend the bylaws conferred upon
the stockholders by statute. The Unify certificate of
incorporation expressly authorizes the board of directors to
amend the bylaws.
Under Nevada law, any amendment to the articles of incorporation
must be proposed by the board of directors and submitted to the
stockholders for approval by the holders of a majority of the
outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon, and if such
amendments would increase or decrease the number of authorized
shares of any class or series or the par value of such shares or
would adversely affect the shares of such class or series, the
holders of the outstanding shares of a class or series so
affected shall be entitled to vote as a class or series to
approve the amendment. The articles of incorporation may
require, in the case of any specified amendments, the vote of a
larger proportion of the voting power of stockholders. Although
Halos articles of incorporation do not require such a vote
of a larger proportion of the voting power of the stockholders
for amendments that do not adversely affect any series of
preferred stock, Halos articles of incorporation provide
that no provision of the terms of the Series C Preferred
Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, respectively, may be
amended, modified or waived as to each such respective series
without the approval of the holders of at least fifty-one
percent (51%) of the then outstanding shares of each such
respective series.
Under Nevada law, unless otherwise prohibited by any bylaw
adopted by the stockholders, directors may adopt, amend or
repeal any bylaw, including any bylaw adopted by the
stockholders. Nevada law also provides that the articles of
incorporation may grant the authority to adopt bylaws
exclusively to the directors. The Halo articles of incorporation
and bylaws give both the Halo board and the shareholders the
power to may amend, alter, or repeal the bylaws.
146
Inspection of Stockholders List
Delaware law allows any stockholder to inspect the stockholder
list for a purpose reasonably related to such persons
interest as a stockholder.
Under Nevada law, a corporation must allow a stockholder who has
been a stockholder of record of the corporation for at least six
months or any stockholder (or authorized representative) holding
at least fifteen percent of a corporations shares the
right, upon at least five days written demand, to inspect,
in person or by an agent, during normal business hours, the
books of account and financial records of the corporation, to
make extracts therefrom and to conduct an audit of such records,
except any corporation listed and traded on any recognized stock
exchange or any corporation that furnishes to its stockholders a
detailed, annual financial statement is exempt from this
requirement.
Dividends
Subject to any restrictions contained in a corporations
certificate of incorporation, Delaware law generally provides
that a corporation may declare and pay dividends out of surplus
or, when no surplus exists, out of net profits for the fiscal
year in which the dividend is declared an/or for the preceding
fiscal year. Surplus is defined as net assets minus stated
capital. Dividends may not be paid out of net profits if the
capital of the corporation is less than the amount of capital
represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes
having a preference upon the distribution of assets.
Except as otherwise provided in the corporations articles
of incorporation, Nevada law authorizes a corporation to make
distributions to its stockholders as authorized by its board of
directors; provided, however, the corporation may not make such
a distribution if (i) the corporation would not be able to
pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of
business, or (ii) unless otherwise specifically provided in
the corporations articles of incorporation, the
corporations total assets would be less than the sum of
its total liabilities plus any amount owed, if the corporation
were to be dissolved at the time of distribution, to
stockholders with preferential rights superior to those
receiving the distribution.
Transactions Involving Officers or Directors
A Delaware corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any
obligation incurred by, its officers or directors if, in the
judgment of the board of directors, such loan or guarantee may
reasonably be expected to benefit the corporation. With respect
to any other contract or transaction between the corporation and
one or more of its directors or officers, such transactions are
neither void nor voidable if either:
|
|
|
|
|
the directors or officers interest is made known to
the disinterested directors or the stockholders of the
corporation, who thereafter approve the transaction in good
faith, or |
|
|
|
the contract or transaction is fair to the corporation as of the
time it is approved or ratified by either the board of
directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders. |
Pursuant to the Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act, an
issuer (as defined by Section 12 of the
Exchange Act) may not, directly or indirectly, extend or
maintain credit, arrange for the extension of credit, or renew
an existing extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan
to or for a director or executive officer is thus barred from
lending money to, or guaranteeing any obligation incurred by,
its officers or directors.
Under Nevada law, there is no corresponding provision with
respect to loans or guarantees. A contract or transaction, under
Nevada law, between a corporation and one or more of its
directors or officers, or between a corporation and any other
corporation, partnership, association, or other organization in
which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or
officers, or have a financial interest, shall not be void or
voidable solely for that reason, or solely because the director
or officer was present at or
147
participated in the meeting of the board or committee thereof
which authorized the contract or transaction, or solely because
his or her vote was counted for such purpose, if:
|
|
|
|
|
the interest of the officer or director is known to the board of
directors or committee, and the board or committee approves the
transaction in good faith without counting the vote of the
interested director, |
|
|
|
the interest of the officer or director is known to the
stockholders, and they approve the transaction in good faith by
a majority vote of stockholders holding a majority of the voting
power, |
|
|
|
the interest of the officer or director is not known to the
officer or director at the time the transaction is brought
before the board of directors of the corporation for
action, or |
|
|
|
the transaction is fair as to the corporation at the time it is
authorized or approved. |
The bylaws of Halo forbid a loan by the corporation to an
officer or director unless it is first approved by the holders
of two-thirds of the voting shares, and the corporation may not
make a loan secured by its shares. Loans of up to
$25,000 per individual may be made to officers or directors
for moving expenses.
Limitation of Liability of Directors and Indemnification
Under Delaware law, a corporation may include in its certificate
of incorporation a provision that would, subject to the
limitations described below, eliminate or limit directors
liability for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary
duty of care. Under the Delaware law, a directors
liability cannot be eliminated or limited:
|
|
|
|
|
for breaches of the duty of loyalty, |
|
|
|
for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, |
|
|
|
for the payment of unlawful dividends or expenditure of funds
for unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or |
|
|
|
for transaction from which such director derived an improper
personal benefit. |
Pursuant to Unifys certificate of incorporation and under
Delaware law, directors of Unify are not liable to Unify or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty,
except for liability in connection with a breach of duty of
loyalty, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
for dividend payments or stock repurchases illegal under
Delaware law or any transaction in which a director has derived
an improper personal benefit.
Under Nevada law, a director or officer is not individually
liable to the corporation or its stockholders for any damages as
a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as
a director or officer unless it is proven that such act or
failure to act constituted a breach of fiduciary duties as a
director or officer; and the breach of those duties involved
intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.
Such provisions, however, will not eliminate a director or
officers liability to the corporation in the case of a
judgment of ouster rendered against a corporation on account of
the misconduct of the director or officer, a violation of Nevada
state securities laws, or certain other violations of law.
Under Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, a
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, except an action by or in
the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, against expenses, including attorneys fees,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with the action, suit or
proceeding, but only if such person did not breach his or her
fiduciary duties in a manner involving intentional misconduct,
fraud or a knowing violation of law, or acted in good faith and
in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his
148
or her conduct was unlawful. A corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in
the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation against expenses,
including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys fees
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense
or settlement of the action or suit if such person did not
breach his or her fiduciary duties in a manner involving
intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law or
acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation.
Nevada law further provides that indemnification may not be made
for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has
been adjudged to be liable to the corporation or for amounts
paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the
extent that the court determines the person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court
deems proper. Nevada law provides for mandatory indemnification
of a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation to
the extent that such person has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred
to in this paragraph against expenses, including attorneys
fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with
the defense.
Halos bylaws and articles of incorporation provide for
indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent
permitted by Nevada law. The Halo bylaws also provide for the
advancement of indemnified expenses.
Business Combinations/ Reorganizations
A provision of Delaware law prohibits certain transactions
between a Delaware corporation and an interested
stockholder. An interested stockholder for
purposes of this Delaware law provision is a stockholder that is
directly or indirectly a beneficial owner of fifteen percent or
more of the voting power of the outstanding voting stock of a
Delaware corporation, or its affiliate or associate. This
provision prohibits certain business combinations between an
interested stockholder and a corporation for a period of three
years after the date the interested stockholder acquired its
stock unless:
|
|
|
|
|
the business combination is approved by the corporations
board of directors prior to the stock acquisition date; |
|
|
|
the interested stockholder acquired at least 85% of the voting
stock of the corporation in the transaction in which such
stockholder became an interested stockholder; or |
|
|
|
the business combination is approved by a majority of the board
of directors and the affirmative vote of two-thirds of
disinterested stockholders. |
Unify has not opted out of this provision through its
certificate of incorporation, in accordance with such provision
of Delaware law.
Sections 78.411 to 78.444 of the Nevada Revised Statutes,
inclusive, restrict the ability of a resident domestic
corporation to engage in any combination with an interested
stockholder for three years after the interested
stockholders date of acquiring the shares that cause such
stockholder to become an interested stockholder unless the
combination or the purchase of shares by the interested
stockholder on the interested stockholders date of
acquiring the shares that cause such stockholder to become an
interested stockholder is approved by the board of directors of
the resident domestic corporation before that date. If the
combination was not previously approved, the interested
stockholder may effect a combination after the three-year period
only if such stockholder receives approval from a majority of
the disinterested shares or the offer meets various fair price
criteria. For purposes of the foregoing provisions,
resident domestic
149
corporation means a Nevada corporation that has 200 or
more stockholders and interested stockholder means
any person, other than the resident domestic corporation or its
subsidiaries, who is:
|
|
|
|
|
the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or
more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the
resident domestic corporation; or |
|
|
|
an affiliate or associate of the resident domestic corporation
and at any time within three years immediately before the date
in question was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of
ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding
shares of the resident domestic corporation. |
The above provisions do not apply to any combination involving a
resident domestic corporation:
|
|
|
|
|
whose original articles of incorporation expressly elect not to
be governed by Sections 78.411 to 78.444 of Nevada law,
inclusive; |
|
|
|
which does not, as of the date of acquiring shares, have a class
of voting shares registered with the SEC under Section 12
of the Securities Act, unless the corporations articles of
incorporation provide otherwise; |
|
|
|
whose articles of incorporation were amended to provide that the
corporation is subject to the above provisions and which did not
have a class of voting shares registered under Section 12
of the Securities Act on the effective date of such amendment,
if the combination is with an interested stockholder whose date
of acquiring shares is before the effective date of such
amendment; or |
|
|
|
that amends its articles of incorporation, approved by a
majority of the disinterested shares, to expressly elect not to
be governed by Sections 78.411 to 78.444 of Nevada law,
inclusive. Such an amendment, however, would not become
effective until eighteen months after its passage and would
apply only stock acquisitions occurring after the effective date
of the amendment. The Halo articles of incorporation do not
exempt Halo from the restrictions imposed by such provisions of
Nevada law. |
Sections 78.378 to 78.3793 of the Nevada Revised Statutes,
inclusive, provide in effect that a person acquiring a
controlling interest in an issuing corporation, and those acting
in association with such person, obtain only such voting rights
in the control shares as are conferred by stockholders
(excluding such acquiring and associated persons) holding a
majority of the voting power of the issuing corporation. For
purposes of the foregoing provisions, issuing
corporation means a corporation organized in Nevada which
has 200 or more stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom
have addresses in Nevada on the corporations stock ledger,
and does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliate,
and controlling interest means the ownership of
outstanding voting shares enabling the acquiring person to
exercise (either directly or in association with others)
one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third but less
than a majority, or a majority or more of the voting power of
the issuing corporation in the election of directors.
Accordingly, the provisions could require multiple votes with
respect to voting rights in share acquisitions effected in
separate stages.
The above provisions do not apply to an acquisition of a
controlling interest if the articles of incorporation or bylaws
of the issuing corporation in effect on the tenth day following
the acquisition of such controlling interest provide either
specifically or generally that the provisions do not apply to
such acquisitions. The provisions are also inapplicable to
shares acquired pursuant to a statutory merger (such as the
merger) effected pursuant to Nevada law or by operation of law
such as inheritance or the enforcement of a judgment or security
interest.
Depending on the issuing corporations articles and bylaws
in effect on the tenth day following the applicable controlling
interest acquisition, the issuing corporation may have rights to
redeem the shares so acquired, and its stockholders may have
dissenters rights with respect to the approval of voting
rights equivalent to those described under Appraisal or
Dissenters Rights below and set forth in
Annex D.
150
Appraisal or Dissenters Rights
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, dissenters
rights of appraisal are available to a stockholder of a
corporation only in connection with some mergers or
consolidations involving that corporation. Appraisal rights are
not available under the Delaware General Corporation Law if the
corporations stock is either:
|
|
|
|
|
listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a
national market system security on an interdealer quotation
system by the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc., or |
|
|
|
held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders; except that
appraisal rights will be available if the merger or
consolidation requires stockholders to exchange their stock for
anything other than: |
|
|
|
shares of the surviving corporation, |
|
|
|
shares of another corporation that will be listed on a national
securities exchange, designated as a national market system
security on an interdealer quotation system by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or held of record by
more than 2,000 stockholders, or |
|
|
|
cash in place of fractional shares. |
Additionally, no appraisal rights are available if the
corporation is the surviving corporation, and no vote of its
stockholders is required for the merger.
A stockholder of a Nevada corporation, with certain exceptions,
has the right to dissent from, and obtain payment of the fair
value of his shares in the event of:
|
|
|
|
|
a merger or consolidation to which the corporation is a party, |
|
|
|
consummation of a plan of exchange to which the corporation is a
party as the corporation whose shares will be acquired, if the
stockholder is entitled to vote on the plan, and |
|
|
|
any corporate action taken pursuant to a vote of the
stockholders to the extent that the articles of incorporation,
bylaws or a resolution of the board of directors provides that
voting or non-voting stockholders are entitled to dissent and
obtain payment for their shares. |
Under Nevada law unless a corporations articles of
incorporation provide otherwise, a stockholder does not have
dissenters rights with respect to a plan of merger or
share exchange if the shares held by the stockholder are either
registered on a national securities exchange, or designated as a
national market system security on an interdealer quotation
system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.,
or held of record by 2,000 or more stockholders. A stockholder
of record of a Nevada corporation may dissent as to less than
all the shares registered in his name only if he dissents with
respect to all shares beneficially owned by any one person and
notifies the corporation in writing of the name and address of
each person on whose behalf he asserts dissenters rights.
In such event, the stockholders rights will be determined
as if the shares to which he dissented and his other shares were
registered in the names of different stockholders.
Rights Plan
Under both Delaware and Nevada law, every corporation may create
and issue rights entitling the holders of such rights to
purchase from the corporation shares of its capital stock of any
class or classes, subject to provisions in its charter
documents. The price and terms of such shares must be stated in
the charter documents or in a resolution adopted by the board of
directors for the creation or issuance of such rights.
151
DESCRIPTION OF HALO SECURITIES
Common Stock
Halo is registering shares of common stock, par value $0.00001.
Halo has authorized 150,000,000 shares of common stock. The
holders of Halo common stock:
|
|
|
|
|
are subject to the rights of the holders of Halos
preferred stock, have equal ratable rights to dividends from
funds legally available if and when declared by Halos
board of directors; |
|
|
|
are entitled to share ratably in all of Halos assets
available for distribution to holders of common stock in the
event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Halos
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
Halo also has authorized 50,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, par value $0.00001 per share (Preferred
Stock). Halos 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 Halos Articles of
Incorporation.
Currently, there are shares of Series C Preferred Stock
(Series C Stock) and Series D Preferred
Stock (Series D Stock) outstanding. Halo 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 Series C Stock has the following material terms:
|
|
|
|
|
The Series C Stock is convertible into Halo common stock,
at the option of the holder, at a conversion price (the
Series C Stock Applicable Conversion Price)
that will initially be equal to $1.00. Accordingly, the
Series C Stock is convertible into Halo 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 Halo issues, at any time while shares
of Series C Stock are still outstanding, shares of Halo
common stock or any type of securities convertible or
exchangeable for, or otherwise giving a right to acquire, shares
of Halo common stock, at a price below the Series C Stock
Applicable Conversion Price, then the Series C Stock
Applicable Conversion Price will be adjusted to the price per
share equal to the price per share paid for such Halo 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
Series C Subscription Agreements dated January 31,
2005 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 Halos capital structure. |
|
|
|
If Halos market capitalization based on the shares of Halo
common stock outstanding (including all shares of Halo common
stock underlying the Shares of Series C Stock on an as
converted basis) exceeds $50,000,000, the shares of Halo common
stock underlying the Series C Stock are registered, and
Halo has an average daily trading volume for 20 consecutive
trading days of 100,000 shares per day, then Halo may
require the holders of Series C Stock to convert the
Series C Stock into Halo common stock at the then
Series C Stock 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 Halo, in shares
of Halo common |
152
|
|
|
|
|
stock. The dividends are preferred dividends, payable in
preference to any dividends which may be declared on Halo common
stock. Halo 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 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 Halo). |
|
|
|
In the event of any liquidation of Halo, the Series C Stock
will receive an amount equal to the Series C Face Amount
(as defined in the Certificate of Designations designating the
Series C Stock), plus all accrued but unpaid dividends
thereon, prior to any amounts being distributed to any junior
series of Preferred Stock or to Halo common stock holders. After
payment of all liquidation preferences to all holders of
Preferred Stock, including the Series C Stock, the entire
remaining available assets, if any, shall be distributed among
the holders of Halo common stock, the holders of Series C
Stock, and any other class or series of Preferred Stock entitled
to participate with Halo common stock in a liquidating
distribution, in proportion to the shares of Halo common stock
then held by them and the shares of Halo common stock which they
then have the right to acquire upon conversion of such shares of
Preferred Stock held by them. |
|
|
|
Holders of Series C Stock have the pre-emptive right to
participate in offerings of Halo common stock, or securities
convertible into or exercisable for Halo common stock, based on
the holders pro-rata share, on an as-converted basis, of
the number of shares of outstanding Series C Stock, plus
the portion, if any, of such offering as to which other holders
of Series C Stock have elected to not exercise this
pre-emptive right. |
The Series D Stock has the following material terms:
|
|
|
|
|
The Series D Stock will be convertible into Halo common
stock, at the option of the holder, at a conversion price (the
Series D Stock Applicable Conversion Price)
that will initially be equal to $1.10. Accordingly, the
Series D Stock is convertible into Halo common stock at a
ratio equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the sum of the
Series D Face Amount (as defined in the Certificate of
Designations designating the Series D Stock) plus any
accrued but unpaid dividends by the Series D Applicable
Conversion Price, in effect at the time of conversion. However,
the ratio is subject to adjustment pursuant to the anti-dilution
protections extended to the holders of Series D Stock.
Under the anti-dilution provisions, in the event Halo issues, at
any time while shares of Series D Stock are still
outstanding, shares of Halo common stock or any type of
securities convertible or exchangeable for, or otherwise giving
a right to acquire, shares of Halo common stock, at a price
below the Series D Applicable Conversion Price, then the
Series D Applicable Conversion Price will be adjusted to
the price per share equal to the price per share paid for such
Halo common stock in such subsequent financing. In addition to
the full-ratchet protection, the Series D Applicable
Conversion Price will be equitably adjusted in the event of any
stock split, stock dividend or similar change in Halos
capital structure. |
|
|
|
If Halos market capitalization based on the shares of Halo
common stock outstanding (including all shares of Halo common
stock underlying the Shares of Series D Stock on an as
converted basis) exceeds $50,000,000, the shares of Halo common
stock underlying the Series D Stock are registered, and
Halo has an average daily trading volume for 20 consecutive
trading days of 100,000 shares per day, then Halo may
require the holders of Series D Stock to convert the
Series D Stock into Halo common stock at the then
Series D Stock Applicable Conversion Price. |
|
|
|
The holders of shares of Series D Stock will be entitled to
receive dividends, at a 13% annual rate, payable quarterly in
arrears beginning on March 21, 2006, either in cash, or at
the election of Halo, in shares of Halo common stock. The
dividends are preferred dividends, payable in preference to |
153
|
|
|
|
|
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 Halo common stock. Halo 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 Halo). |
In the event of any liquidation of Halo, 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 Halo 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 Halo common stock, the holders of Series D Stock, and
any other class or series of Preferred Stock entitled to
participate with Halo common stock in a liquidating
distribution, in proportion to the shares of Halo common stock
then held by them and the shares of Halo common stock which they
then have the right to acquire upon conversion of such shares of
Preferred Stock held by them.
Halos Articles of Incorporation and bylaws contain
provisions, such as the authorization of the undesignated
Preferred Stock and prohibitions on cumulative voting in the
election of directors, which could make it more difficult for a
third party to acquire Halo.
Unless waived by the Unify board of directors, it is a
condition to the closing of the Merger that that the shares of
Series C Stock and Series D Stock convert into common
stock of Halo prior to the effective time of the merger.

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 Companys 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for Year Ended
June 30, 2005
|
|
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
Companys strategy is to pursue acquisitions of businesses
which either complement the Companys 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 Guptas 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. Guptas
products include a popular database application and a well-known
set of application development tools. The relational database
product allows companies to manage data closer to the customer,
where capturing and organizing information is becoming
increasingly critical. This product is designed for applications
being deployed in situations where there are little or no
technical resources to support and administer databases or
applications.
Gupta recently released its Linux product line. Compatible with
its existing Microsoft Windows-based product line, the Linux
line of products will enable developers to write one application
to run in both Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems.
Gupta has headquarters in California, and has 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 Companys 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.

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.

Warp Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for Year Ended
June 30, 2005 (Continued)
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.
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.
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 Guptas 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 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 Companys warehouse
facilities to customers are recorded as a component of cost of
revenues in the consolidated statement of income.

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. |
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.
The company maintains cash balances at several banks. Accounts
at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation up to $100,000.
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 managements 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 Companys product
development process, technological feasibility is established
upon the completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the
Company between the completion of the working model and the
point at which the product is ready for general release has been
insignificant.
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.
The functional currency of the Companys 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, which are mainly costs associated with
the Companys Senior Note and the Companys
Subordinated Note, are amortized over the term of the notes on a
straight-line basis.
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
June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively, are not
included as the inclusion of such would be anti-dilutive for all
periods presented.
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,

cost has been recognized for fixed stock option grants. Had
compensation costs for the Companys stock option grants
been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for
awards under these plans in accordance with
SFAS No. 123, the Companys net loss and loss per
share would have been reduced to the proforma amounts as follows:

Pro forma information regarding net loss is required by

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

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective
assumptions. Because the Companys employee stock has
characteristics significantly different from those of traded
options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions
can materially affect the fair value estimate, in
managements opinion, the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value
of its employee stock options.
|
|
|
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
F-14
Warp Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for Year Ended
June 30, 2005 (Continued)
account for such awards using the intrinsic method previously
allowable under APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS No. 123
®
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.
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
Companys 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 Companys 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.
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 Companys 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
F-16

June 30, 2005 (Continued)
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
Companys common stock. Such conversions resulted in the
issuance of 2,554 and 10,736 shares of common stock,
respectively.
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. 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 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 exercise price of the warrants
is $33 per share of common stock and the exercise price is
only payable with 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 Companys
Series B 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
(B Shares) converted their B Shares into shares of
the Companys 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
F-18
Warp Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for Year Ended
June 30, 2005 (Continued)
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
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

June 30, 2005 (Continued)
During 2000, in conjunction with the sale of its Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock to certain investors, The Company
issued warrants to purchase 10,636 shares of its
common stock at an exercise price of $9.05 per share. The
warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of issuance. In fiscal
2003 certain holders of these warrants converted 7,334 of these
warrants in a cashless exercise for 5,438 shares of the
Companys common stock.
On August 1, 2000, the Company issued warrants to
purchase 1,105 shares of its common stock to an
outside consultant for services rendered. The warrants have an
exercise price of $9.05 per share and expire on the fifth
anniversary of issuance.
In connection with the February, 2003 private placement the
Company issued 4,209 warrants to purchase shares of its common
stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. The
warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of issuance. In fiscal
2004, 1,350 of these warrants were exercised; the Company
received approximately, $13,500.
In January 2004, the Company issued 15,000 warrants to
Mr. Ray Musson and Killick & Co. as a settlement
for not registering previously sold shares. The warrants have a
(5) five-year term, an exercise price of $36 per share
and no cashless exercise provision. The Company recorded as
expense $180,000 relating to this warrants issuance. The March
Form S-2, declared
effective on March 31, 2004, registered the shares of
common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants issued
to Mr. Musson and Killick & Co.
On March 5, 2004, the Company initiated a warrant exchange
program (the Program) applicable to all of the
Companys outstanding warrants (collectively the
Original Warrants). The Program was an opportunity
for the Companys warrant holders to choose whether they
wanted to keep their Original Warrants or exchange them for new
warrants (the Exchanged Warrants). The Exchanged
Warrants had an exercise price of $15 per share, as
compared to the Original Warrants, which have exercise prices of
$36, $33, $25, or $18 per share, and were required to be
exercised immediately after their issuance. The Program closed
on March 18, 2004, and resulted in the exchange of 43,023
Original Warrants for Exchanged Warrants. The immediate exercise
of the Exchanged Warrants caused the issuance by the Company of
43,023 shares of common stock for gross proceeds to the
Company of $645,358. The Company recorded approximately $132,000
as a beneficial conversion dividend relating to this transaction
because the fair market value of the common stock was greater
than the conversion price.
In April 2004, the Company issued warrants to
purchase 8,600 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $25 per share to Lighthouse Capital Ltd and
warrants to purchase 1,500 shares of common stock at

$105,000.
In August 2004, the Company issued 20,000 warrants to purchase
common stock to Malcolm Coster at an exercise price of
$18.00 per share for services performed. In connection with
this issuance the Company recorded an expense of approximately
$96,000.
In September 2004, the Company agreed to issue 35,200 warrants
to purchase common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per
share to Griffin Securities, Inc. for advisory services to be
provided to the Company. In connection with these warrants the
Company recorded an expense of $25,696.
In January 2005 in connection with the various sales of the
Bridge Notes, the Series C Notes, the Senior Notes and the
Subordinated Notes under the financing agreements, the Company
has incurred brokers or finders fees and commissions of a total
of $1,058,900. In addition, the Company has committed to issue
to such brokers and finders warrants to acquire up to an
aggregate of 1,210,601 shares of Common

Stock. These warrants are exercisable for a period of five years
and 280,000 have an exercise price of $4.75 and 930,601 have an
exercise price of $1.25 per share. These warrants were
valued at $998,211 using the black-scholes model . The value of

$1,580,235.
In May 2005 the Company issued warrants to
purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $2.25 to Lippert Heilshorn and Associates for
consulting services. In connection with this issuance the

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

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

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 Companys
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 financing agreements include the Subscription Agreement, the
Bridge Notes, the Senior Note Agreement, the Subordinated
Note Agreement, the Broker Warrants and the Assignment, as
such terms are defined below.
The purchase price for Gupta was $21 million, plus

The Companys management and the Board of directors
believes that the purchase of Gupta that resulted in

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 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 Companys
Articles of Incorporation, the Company may be required to pay to
the Investors a penalty in cash equal to ten percent (10%) of
the principal amount of the Series C Notes. Accordingly,
the Company anticipates that it will need to obtain a waiver or
an acknowledgment that the penalties do not apply. The Company
intends to work with the Investors to obtain waiver of this
penalty or an acknowledgement that no penalty is due, and has
received such waiver and acknowledgement from certain Investors.
However, there is no assurance that the Company will receive
sufficient waivers or acknowledgements from other Investors. As
such the Company 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 |
F-24
Warp Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for Year Ended
June 30, 2005 (Continued)
|
|
|
|
|
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
Companys capital structure. |
|
|
|
If the Companys market capitalization based on the shares
of Common Stock outstanding (including all shares of Common
Stock underlying the Shares of Series 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. |
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:
|
|
|
|
|
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. |

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 Companys other
subsidiaries. |
Under the Senior Note Agreement the Senior Noteholders
received warrants to purchase an aggregate of
2,670,000 shares of the Companys 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.

|
|
|
|
|
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. |
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
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 Companys 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 Companys 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.

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 NOLs 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.

Many of Guptas ISVs, VARs and end users place their orders
through distributors. A relatively small number of distributors
have accounted for a significant percentage of Guptas
revenues. One of Guptas distributors, accounted for 22% of
Guptas revenue for the years ended June 30, 2005 and
2004. The same distributor accounted for 23% of Guptas
accounts receivable at June 30, 2005. In addition, Gupta
had one customer which accounted for 15% of the Companys
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.

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

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 Companys 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
Kenosias 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.
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-31
Warp Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for Year Ended
June 30, 2005 (Continued)
|
|
|
|
|
The maximum amount of loans under Tranche A of the credit
facility is $10,000,000. The purpose of amounts borrowed under
Tranche A is to refinance certain of the Companys
existing debt and to pay certain costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the closing under the Credit Agreement. |
|
|
|
The maximum amount of loans under Tranche B of the credit
facility is $15,000,000. Amounts borrowed under Tranche B
may be used only to partially fund the acquisition by the
Company of one or more companies, the acquisition costs related
thereto, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the Credit Agreement and to finance an agreed amount of
working capital for the companies being acquired. |
|
|
|
The maximum amount of loans under Tranche C of the credit
facility is $25,000,000. Amounts borrowed under Tranche C
may be used only to partially fund the acquisition by the
Company of one or more publicly-traded companies, the
acquisition costs related thereto, and other costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement and to finance
an agreed amount of working capital for the companies being
acquired. |
|
|
|
The Company has borrowed $10,000,000 under Tranche A of the
credit facility to pay-off its existing senior indebtedness, in
the aggregate principal amount of $6,825,000, plus accrued
interest thereon, as well as certain existing subordinated
indebtedness, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000.
In addition, amounts borrowed under this Tranche A were
used to pay certain closing costs, including the Lenders
legal fees, commitment fees, and other costs and expenses under
the Credit Agreement. |
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results
for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. For further

Note 2. |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2004 financial
statements to conform to the 2005 presentation.
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.

Warp Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for Period Ended
December 31, 2005 (Continued)
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 Companys 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 Companys net loss and loss per
share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts as

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
Companys employee stock has characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in
the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair
value estimate, in managements opinion, the existing
models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of
the fair value of its employee stock options.

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
Staffs 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 Companys adoption of
SFAS 123R.

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

For the period from July 1, 2005 through July 5, 2005,
Kenosia had no significant operations.
On August 2, 2005, the Company entered a Credit Agreement
(the Credit Agreement), with Fortress Credit Corp.
as original lender (together with any additional lenders, the
Lenders), and Fortress Credit Corp. as Agent (the
Agent). In addition, the Company entered into a
$10,000,000 Promissory Note (the Note) with the
Lenders, an Intercreditor Agreement with the Lenders, the Agent
and certain subordinated lenders (the Intercreditor
Agreement), a security agreement with the Agent (the
Security Agreement), Pledge Agreements with the
Lender (the Pledge Agreements), and a Warrant
Agreement with the Agent (the Warrant Agreement).
Collectively the Credit Agreement, such other agreements and the
subsidiary security agreements referenced below are referred to
as the Financing Documents.
The Credit Agreement and the other Financing Documents have the
following material terms:
|
|
|
|
|
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the
Lenders agreed to make available to the Company a term loan
facility in three Tranches, Tranches A, B and C, in an aggregate
amount equal to $50,000,000. |
|
|
|
The maximum amount of loans under Tranche A of the credit
facility is $10,000,000. The purpose of amounts borrowed under
Tranche A is to refinance certain of the Companys
existing debt and to pay certain costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the closing under the Credit Agreement. |
|
|
|
The maximum amount of loans under Tranche B of the credit
facility is $15,000,000. Amounts borrowed under Tranche B
may be used only to partially fund the acquisition by the
Company of one or more companies, the acquisition costs related
thereto, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the Credit Agreement and to finance an agreed amount of
working capital for the companies being acquired. |
|
|
|
The maximum amount of loans under Tranche C of the credit
facility is $25,000,000. Amounts borrowed under Tranche C
may be used only to partially fund the acquisition by the
Company of one or more publicly-traded companies, the
acquisition costs related thereto, and other costs and |

|
|
|
|
|
expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement and to
finance an agreed amount of working capital for the companies
being acquired. |
|
|
|
The Company has borrowed $10,000,000 under Tranche A of the
credit facility to pay-off its existing senior indebtedness, in
the aggregate principal amount of $6,825,000, plus accrued
interest thereon, as well as certain existing subordinated
indebtedness, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000.
In addition, amounts borrowed under this Tranche A were
used to pay certain closing costs, including the Lenders
legal fees, commitment fees, and other costs and expenses under
the Credit Agreement amounting to $1,083,872. 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

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
F-54
Warp Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for Period Ended
December 31, 2005 (Continued)
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 Companys Articles of
Incorporation, the Company may be required to pay to the
Investors a penalty in cash equal to ten percent (10%) of the
principal amount of the Series C Notes. Accordingly, the
Company anticipates that it will need to obtain a waiver or an
acknowledgment that the penalties do not apply. The Company
intends to work with the Investors to obtain waiver of this
penalty or an acknowledgement that no penalty is due, and has
received such waiver and acknowledgement from certain Investors.
However, there is no assurance that the Company will receive
sufficient waivers or acknowledgements from other Investors. As
such the Company accrued $647,500 for this penalty for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

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

Acquisition of InfoNow |
On December 23, 2005, the Company entered into a Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with WTH
Merger Sub, Inc. (Merger Sub), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, and InfoNow Corporation
(InfoNow) in a transaction valued at
$7.2 million (the Merger). Pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into
InfoNow, with InfoNow surviving the merger as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was approved by
both companies boards of directors, each share of
InfoNows common stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Merger will be converted into the right to receive approximately
$0.71 in a combination of cash and common stock of the Company.
The amount of cash per share to be received in the Merger by
InfoNow stockholders will be determined by the amount of
InfoNows cash on hand and net working capital available to
it three days
F-55
Warp Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for Period Ended

prior to the closing. The lesser of the two amounts will be paid
in cash by the Company pro rata in proportion to each
stockholders ownership in InfoNow at the closing of the
Merger. The remainder of the approximately $0.71 per share
Merger consideration will be paid in shares of the
Companys common stock, the value of which will be deemed
to be the greater of $1.00 or the average closing price of the
Companys common stock as reported on the
over-the-counter
bulletin board for the twenty consecutive trading days ending
two trading days prior to the closing of the Merger (the
HALO Conversion Price). The Merger is intended to
qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
In addition, each InfoNow common stock option outstanding at the
closing with an exercise price less than $0.71 per share
will be converted into the right to receive cash and the Company
common stock to the extent that the approximately $0.71 per
share merger consideration exceeds the applicable exercise
price. The amount of cash and the Company common stock to be
issued in respect of the outstanding
in-the-money stock
options as described above will be calculated based upon the
relative proportions of the cash and the Company common stock
issued in the Merger in respect of the outstanding Company
common stock.
The Company will also issue a contingent value right (a
CVR) in respect of each share of the Companys
common stock issued in the Merger. The CVRs will be payable on
the 18-month
anniversary of the closing date, and will entitle each holder
thereof to an additional cash payment if the trading price of
the Companys common stock (based on a
20-day average) is less
than the HALO Conversion Price. The CVRs will expire prior to
the 18-month payment
date if during any consecutive
45-day trading period
during that time when the volume of the Companys common
stock is not less than 200,000 per day, the stock price is
175% of the HALO Conversion Price. The shares of the Company
common stock and related CVRs to be issued in the Merger are
expected to be registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC).
The Merger Agreement includes representations and warranties
regarding, among other things, InfoNows corporate
organization and capitalization, the accuracy of its reports and
financial statements filed under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), the absence of
certain changes or events relative to InfoNow since
September 30, 2005, and InfoNows receipt of a
fairness opinion regarding the Merger from its financial
advisor. Similarly, the Company makes representations and
warranties regarding, among other things, its corporate
organization and capitalization and the accuracy of its reports
and financial statements filed under the Exchange Act. The

($700,000). Interest accrues under the Notes at the rate of ten
percent (10%) per annum. The Notes will automatically convert
into (i) such number of fully paid and non-assessable
shares of the Companys Series E Preferred Stock (the
Series E Stock) equal to the aggregate
outstanding principal amount due under the Notes plus the amount
of all accrued but unpaid interest under the Notes divided by
$1.25, and (ii) warrants (the Warrants) to
purchase a number of shares of the Companys Common Stock
equal to 40% of such number of shares of Series E Stock
issued to the holder. This automatic conversion will occur upon
the effectiveness of the filing of the Certificate of
Designations, Preferences and Rights (the Certificate of
Designations) pertaining to the Companys
Series E Preferred Stock. In the event that the Certificate
of Designations is not filed 30 days after the notes were
entered into (February 10, 2006) then the holders of the
Notes may demand that the Company pay the principal amount of
the Notes, together with accrued interest. No demand for payment
has been made, and the Company expects the holders to convert
their notes into equity. A copy of the form of the Notes is
attached as Exhibit 4.14 to the Companys Current
Report on Form 8-K
filed January 18, 2006, and is incorporated herein by
reference. The foregoing description of the Notes is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Notes.
Also on January 11, 2006, the Company entered into certain
Subscription Agreements (the Subscription
Agreements) for the sale of Series E Stock and
Warrants. 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 Companys 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 Investors right
shall be his, her or its pro rata amount of the initial offering.
In the event that the Company completes or enters into
agreements to sell equity securities on or before
February 15, 2006, 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 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 Companys Current Report on
Form 8-K filed
January 18, 2006.

$1,375,000 |
On January 27 and on January 30, 2006, the Company entered
into certain convertible promissory notes (the

F-59
Warp Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for Period Ended
December 31, 2005 (Continued)
Each Note shall convert into (i) such number of fully paid
and non-assessable shares of the Companys 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 Companys 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 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 Companys 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 Companys offering of Series E
Preferred Stock and Warrants (the Series E
Offering) as described initially in the Companys
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

$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 Investors right shall be his, her or its
pro rata amount of the initial offering.

remainder of the amount which they may invest pursuant to this

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 Investors 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

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

|
|

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

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. |
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 Companys 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
ECIs clients, will enhance Empagios 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Shareholders
Tesseract Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Tesseract
Corporation (the Company) as of June 30, 2005,
and the statements of income, shareholders deficit, and
cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companys 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 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 financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Tesseract Corporation as of June 30, 2005, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2005
|
|
1. |
Organization and Nature of Business |
In January of 1999, Platinum Equity, LLC (Platinum),
purchased Tesseract Corporation (Tesseract or
Company) from Ceridian Corporation and Tesseract
became a wholly owned subsidiary of Platinum. On
October 26, 2005, the Company was acquired by WARP
Technology Holdings, Inc. operating under the name Halo
Technology Holdings, a publicly traded company. (See
note 7). On December 31, 2004, Westgarde Holdings,
Inc. (Westgarde), owned by Platinum, merged with
Tesseract. Westgardes issued and outstanding shares of
common stock were retired and cancelled, Westgarde ceased to
exist and Tesseract was the surviving entity, Due to the common
ownership of the companies, Tesseracts financial statement
give effect to the merger as of July 1, 2003.

|
|
2. |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
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.
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 customers financial condition
and, generally, collateral is not required. The Company
maintains allowances for potential credit losses based on
managements evaluation of the customers financial
condition, past collection history, and age of the accounts
receivable balances. Historically, losses have been within the
range of managements expectations.
|
|
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
At June 30, 2005, the respective carrying values of the
Companys financial instruments, including accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, loans payable
and notes payable approximated their fair values.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
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:

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 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.
Amortization of intangible assets is computed using the
straight-line method over seven years, the useful lives of the
assets.
Earnings per share has been calculated by dividing net income by
the weighted-average shares outstanding.
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
F-70
Tesseract Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
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 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.
|
|
|
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.
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
Companys 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 Companys facilities to
customers are recorded as a component of cost of products in the
statements of income.
F-71
Tesseract Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Members and Shareholders
Process Software, LLC and Affiliates
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of
Process Software, LLC and Affiliates (the Company)
as of June 30, 2005, and the combined statements of
operations, members and shareholders equity, and
cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
These combined financial statements are the responsibility of
the Companys 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.

Process Software, LLC and Affiliates
Notes to Combined Financial Statements
June 30, 2005
|
|
1. |
Organization and Nature of Business |
The combined financial statements include Process Software, LLC
(Process), David Corporation (David),
ProfitKey International, LLC (ProfitKey) and
Foresight Software, Inc. (Foresight) (combined the
Company). These four entities are affiliated through

reliable networking software available. Process products are

manufacturers. The Foresights products are written using
the Progress programming language and operate on the Progress
database platform.
|
|
2. |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
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 Companys customers, and
the Companys 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 managements expectations. No one customer
accounted for a significant percentage of the Companys
revenue during the years ended June 30, 2004 or 2005.
Additionally, no one customer accounted for a significant
percentage of the Companys accounts receivable at
June 30, 2005.

Process Software, LLC and Affiliates
Notes to Combined Financial
Statements (Continued)
|
|
|
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.
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 ProfitKeys 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.
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 Foresights 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 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 Companys 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

Notes to Combined Financial
Statements (Continued)
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.
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 Companys software through its indirect sales
channel, revenue is recognized when the distributor sells the
software to its end-users, including value-added resellers. For
licensing of the Companys software to independent software
vendors, revenue is recognized upon shipment to the independent
software vendors. For licensing of the Companys software
through its indirect Sales channel revenue is recognized
when the distributor sells the software to its end-user,
including value-added resellers. For licensing of the
Companys 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.
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 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.

Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The
related unrealized holding gains or losses are excluded from

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.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (Loss) per share for the years ended June 30, 2005

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
This unaudited pro forma information should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the
Company included in our Annual Report filed on
Form 10-KSB for
the year ended June 30, 2005 and our Quarterly Report filed
on Form 10-QSB for
the three months ended September 30, 2005 filed on
November 14, 2005. In addition, this pro forma information
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of
Tesseract for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and
with the financial statements of Process and Affiliates for the
years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, both of which are
included within this Amendment to Current Report on
Form 8-K/A.
The following unaudited pro forma statement of operations for
the year ended June 30, 2005 has been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States to give effect to the October 26, 2005
acquisition of Tesseract, and Process and Affiliates as if the
transaction occurred on July 1, 2004. The pro forma
statement of operations combines the results of operations of
the Company for the year ended June 30, 2005 with the
results of operations of Tesseract, and Process and Affiliates
for the year ended June 30, 2005. Pro forma adjustments
include decrease in intangible amortization, decrease in
deferred revenue amortization, elimination of management fees
paid to Platinum, interest on debt relating to this acquisition,
amortization of financing costs, and accretion of the fair value
of the warrants issued as part of this financing. Platinum was
the sole owner of Tesseract, and Process and Affiliates at
June 30, 2005.
The following unaudited pro forma statement of operations for
the three months ended September 30, 2005 has been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States to give effect to the October 26, 2005
acquisition of Tesseract, and Process and Affiliates as if the
transaction occurred on July 1, 2005. Such pro forma
statement of operations combines the results of operations of
the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2005
with the results of operations of Tesseract, and Process and
Affiliates for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
Pro forma adjustments include decrease in intangible
amortization, decrease in deferred revenue amortization,
elimination of management fees paid to Platinum, interest on
debt relating to this acquisition, amortization of financing
costs, and accretion of the fair value of the warrants issued as
part of this financing.
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 Companys 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 Tesseracts
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.

Board of Directors and Shareholders of Unify Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Unify Corporation as of April 30, 2005 and the related
consolidated statement of operations, stockholders equity,
and cash flows for the year ended April 30, 2005. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. 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 audit provides 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 Unify Corporation as of April 30, 2005 and the
results of its operation and its cash flow for the year ended
April 30, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Unify Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Unify Corporation as of April 30, 2004, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders
equity, and cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2004
and 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Companys 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. We were not engaged to perform an
audit of the Companys internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of Unify Corporation at April 30, 2004,
and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years ended April 30, 2004 and 2003, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.

UNIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
|
Note 1. |
The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Unify provides business process automation software solutions,
including applications for specialty markets within the
insurance and transportation industries. Our solutions deliver a
broad set of capabilities for automating business processes,
integrating existing information systems and delivering
collaborative information. Through our industry expertise and
market leading technologies, we help organizations reduce risk,
drive business optimization, apply governance, and increase
customer and member services. Our customers are in a variety of
industries, including insurance, financial services, healthcare,
government, manufacturing and many other industries. Unify is
headquartered in Sacramento, California and has offices in the
United Kingdom, France and Australia.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated. The functional currency of the Companys
foreign subsidiary is their local currency. Assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and
expense accounts are translated at average rates of exchange in
effect during the reporting period. Foreign currency transaction
gains or losses are included in other income, net. Foreign
currency adjustments resulting from the translation process are
excluded from net income (loss) and recorded in other
comprehensive income (loss).
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability
and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
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. Significant
estimates include the assessment of the carrying value of the
other investments and the allowance for doubtful accounts for
accounts receivable, long-term receivables and notes receivable.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less when purchased and are stated
at cost. Cash equivalents consist primarily of demand deposits
with banks and money market funds.
|
|
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, notes receivable and accounts payable approximate
fair value because of the short-term maturity of these
instruments. Notes payable approximate fair value because the
interest rates are tied to the prime rate.

UNIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
|
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Credit
Evaluations |
Financial instruments potentially subjecting the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and investments. The Company
places its cash, cash equivalents and investments primarily with
three financial institutions. The Company licenses its products
principally to companies in the United States, Europe, and Japan
and no single customer accounted for 10% or more of consolidated
revenues in the years ended April 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003.
The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its
customers and generally does not require collateral. Allowances
are maintained for potential credit losses. International
revenues include all our software license and service revenues
from customers located outside North America. International
revenues accounted for 65%, 68% and 54% of total revenues in
fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
|
|
|
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
An allowance for doubtful accounts is established to ensure
trade receivables are not overstated due to uncollectibility.
Bad debt reserves are maintained for all customers based on a
variety of factors, including the length of time receivables are
past due, significant one-time events and historical experience.
Additional reserves for individual accounts are recorded when
the Company becomes aware of a customers inability to meet
its financial obligations, such as in the case of bankruptcy
filings or deterioration in the customers operating
results or financial position. If circumstances related to
customers change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables
would be further adjusted. Following is a schedule that details
activity for the allowance for doubtful accounts and the
allowance for long-term accounts and notes receivable.

The Company carries other investments at the lower of cost or
estimated fair value (Note 4).
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of the related assets, generally three to five years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their
estimated useful lives or the lease term.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Under the criteria set forth in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 86 Accounting for the Costs
of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise
Marketed, capitalization of software development costs
begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility of
the product. With respect to the Companys software
development process, technological feasibility is established
upon completion of a working model. To date, the Companys
products have been released shortly after reaching technological
feasibility. Therefore, development costs incurred after
completion of a working model and prior to general release have
not been significant. Accordingly, no software development costs
have been capitalized by the Company to date.
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of such assets or intangibles may be in excess
of fair value or not be recoverable. If such assets are
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is
measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the
assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
The Company periodically reevaluates the original assumptions
and rationale utilized in the establishment of the carrying
value and estimated useful lives of the long-lived assets. The
criteria used for these evaluations include managements
estimate of the assets continuing ability to generate
income from operations and positive cash flows in future periods.
Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the
amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a
business combination. Goodwill is not amortized. Goodwill is
tested for impairment on an annual basis as of May 1, and
between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment
exist, using a fair-value-based approach. No impairment of
goodwill has been identified during any of the periods presented
(Note 5).
Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method
over their estimated period of benefit, typically three years.
We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically
and take into account events or circumstances that warrant
revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that
impairment exists. All of our intangible assets are subject to
amortization. No impairments of intangible assets have been
identified during any of the periods (Note 5).
The Company generates revenue from software license sales and
related services, including maintenance and support, and
consulting services. The Company licenses its products to end
user customers, independent software vendors and value added
resellers. The Company recognizes revenue for software license
sales in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition. We exercise judgment
in connection with the determination of the amount of software
and services revenue to be recognized in each accounting period.
The nature of each licensing arrangement determines how revenues
and related costs are recognized.
Revenue is recognized when a noncancelable license agreement has
been signed or other persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, the software product or service has been shipped or
electronically delivered, the license fees are fixed and
determinable, all uncertainties regarding customer acceptance
are resolved and collectibility is probable.
F-107
UNIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Companys customer contracts include multi-element
arrangements that include a delivered element (a software
license) and undelivered elements (such as maintenance and
support and/or consulting). The value allocated to the
undelivered elements is unbundled from the delivered element
based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the
fair value of the maintenance and support and/or consulting,
regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract.
VSOE of fair value is defined as (i) the price charged when
the same element is sold separately, or (ii) if the element
has not yet been sold separately, the price for the element
established by management having the relevant authority when it
is probable that the price will not change before the
introduction of the element into the marketplace. The Company
then allocates the remaining balance to the delivered element (a
software license) regardless of any separate prices stated
within the contract using the residual method as the fair value
of all undelivered elements is determinable.
We defer revenue for any undelivered elements, and recognize
revenue for delivered elements only when the fair values of
undelivered elements are known, uncertainties regarding customer
acceptance are resolved, and there are no customer-negotiated
refund or return rights affecting the revenue recognized for
delivered elements. If we cannot objectively determine the fair
value of any undelivered element included in bundled software
and service arrangements, we defer revenue until all elements
are delivered and services have been performed, or until fair
value can objectively be determined for any remaining
undelivered elements.
An assessment of the ability of the Companys customers to
pay is another consideration that affects revenue recognition.
In some cases, the Company sells to undercapitalized customers.
In those circumstances, revenue recognition is deferred until
cash is received, the customer has established a history of
making timely payments or the customers financial
condition has improved. Furthermore, once revenue has been
recognized, the Company evaluates the related accounts
receivable balance at each period end for amounts that we
believe may no longer be collectible. This evaluation is largely
done based on a review of the financial condition via credit
agencies and historical experience with the customer. Any
deterioration in credit worthiness of a customer may impact the
Companys evaluation of accounts receivable in any given
period.
Revenue from support and maintenance activities, which consist
of fees for ongoing support and unspecified product updates, are
recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract,
typically one year, and the associated costs are expensed as
incurred. Consulting service arrangements are performed on a
best efforts basis and are generally billed under
time-and- materials arrangements. Revenues and expenses relating
to providing consulting services are recognized as the services
are performed.
|
|
|
Warranties and Indemnification |
The Company offers a limited warranty for product and service
sales that generally provide the customer a sixty-day warranty
period against defects. To date, the Company has not incurred
any material costs as a result of such warranties and has not
accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Companys license agreements generally include certain
provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if its
product or services infringe upon a third-partys
intellectual property rights. To date, the Company has not
incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications
and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation (SFAS 123) and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation Transition and
Disclosure (SFAS 148), the Company accounts for
stock-based awards using the intrinsic value method of
accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, Accounting For Stock Issued To
Employees and related interpretations. As such,
compensation is recorded on the measurement date, generally the
date of issuance or grant, as the excess of the current
estimated fair value of the underlying stock over the purchase
or exercise price. Any deferred compensation is amortized over
the respective vesting periods of the equity instruments, if any.
SFAS 123 requires the disclosure of pro forma net income
(loss) and net income (loss) per share had the Company adopted
the fair value method to account for its stock-based awards.
Under SFAS 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to
employees is calculated through the use of option pricing models
which were developed to estimate the fair value of freely
tradable, fully transferable options without vesting
restrictions. Such options differ significantly from the
Companys stock-based awards. These models require
subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility
and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the
calculated values. The Companys calculations are made
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following
weighted average assumptions: expected option life,
12 months following vesting; stock volatility, 222.6% in
fiscal 2005, 117% in fiscal 2004 and 128% in fiscal 2003;
risk-free interest rates, 3.3% in fiscal 2005, 1.7% in fiscal
2004 and 2.1% in fiscal 2003; and no dividends during the
expected term. The Companys calculations are based on a
multiple option valuation approach and forfeitures are
recognized as they occur.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss)
and net income (loss) per share if Unify had applied the fair
value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, to stock-based
employee compensation (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Earnings (Loss) Per Share |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
Earnings per Share,requires a dual
presentation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share
(EPS). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is
F-109
UNIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
computed by dividing net income attributable to common
stockholders by the weighted average of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
issue common stock (e.g. convertible preferred stock, warrants,
and common stock options) were exercised or converted into
common stock. Potential common shares in the diluted EPS
computation are excluded for fiscal year 2005 and 2004 as their
effect would be antidilutive.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) |
Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income and
comprehensive income (loss). The Companys components of
other comprehensive income (loss) are gains and losses on
foreign currency translation.
For fiscal 2004 and 2003, the Company had two reportable
segments, the Americas and Europe, which are organized, managed
and analyzed geographically and operate in the infrastructure
software segment selling and marketing application development
software and related services. In fiscal 2005, a third
reportable segment, Insurance Risk Management division, which
sells and markets the NavRisk application, was added as a result
of the acquisition of Acuitrek (see Note 2).

Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
In December, 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment. This Statement establishes standards
for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges
its equity instruments for goods or services, primarily with
respect to transactions in which employee services are obtained
in exchange for share-based payment. Statement 123R is
effective as of the beginning of the fiscal year that begins
after June 15, 2005. The Company has not completed the
process of evaluating the impact that will result from adopting
this pronouncement. The Company is therefore unable to disclose
the impact that adopting FASB Statement 123R will have on
its financial position, cash flows or results of operations when
such statement is adopted.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153,
Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion
No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions. This
statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary
assets and redefines the scope of transactions that should be
measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged.
Provisions of this Statement are effective for nonmonetary asset
exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after
June 15, 2005 and are required to be adopted by the Company
in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company anticipates
the adoption of Statement 153 will not have a material
impact to our financial position, cash flows or results of
operations.
Certain items in the fiscal 2004 and 2003 consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2005
presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on operating
results or stockholders equity.
On February 2, 2005, the Company acquired all of the issued
and outstanding equity securities of Acuitrek, Inc. Acuitrek
Inc., is a software provider of policy administration and
underwriting solutions for the public entity self insured and
risk pools insurance market. The acquisition enables the Company
to access specialty vertical markets with its business process
automation solutions. Under the terms of the agreement, Unify
made an initial payment to the stockholders of $455,000 (which
included 520,833 shares
F-110
UNIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
of Common Stock), and over the next three years has agreed to
make retention-based earn-out payments of $1.1 million and
potential performance-based earn-out payments, all to be paid
with 50 percent cash and 50 percent Unify common stock
(assuming profitability of the Acuitrek division). These
payments will be recorded as compensation expense in accordance
with EITF 95-8, accounting for contingent consideration
paid to the shareholders of an acquired enterprise in a purchase
business combination. Shares issuable in the future to the
Sellers are based on the market value of the Unify common stock
at the time of issuance. Unify has agreed to register the shares
issuable under the Agreement pursuant to a Registration Rights
Agreement with the former Acuitrek shareholders. Following is

The Company holds a minority interest in Arango, a privately
held corporation. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the
Company re-evaluated the $500,000 carrying value of this
investment and recorded a non-cash charge of $150,000 to bring
the carrying amount to $350,000. During the first quarter of
fiscal 2004, the Company re-evaluated the $350,000 carrying
value of this investment and recorded a non-cash charge of
$175,000 to bring the carrying amount to $175,000. The Company
records an investment impairment charge if and when the Company
believes an investment has experienced a decline in market value
that is other than temporary. Future adverse changes in market
conditions or poor operating results of Arango could result in
losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the
investment that is not currently reflected in the
investments carrying value, thereby possibly requiring
additional impairment charges in the future.

During fiscal 2005, we recorded additions to goodwill and
intangible assets of $1.8 million, all related to the
acquisition of Acuitrek, as described in Note 2
Acquisitions.
Acquired finite-lived intangibles are generally amortized on a
straight line basis over their estimated useful life. Intangible
assets amortization expense was $31 thousand for fiscal 2005.
The estimated future amortization expense related to intangible
assets as of April 30, 2005 is as follows (in thousands):

Goodwill will be tested for impairment on an annual basis as of
May 1, and between annual tests if indicators of potential
impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach in
accordance with FASB 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
Since there was no goodwill prior to the Acuitrek acquisition on
February 2, 2005, there was no impairment review required,
and therefore there is no impairment identified during any of
the periods presented.
On June 3, 2004, the company renewed the Silicon Valley
Bank revolving line of credit. The line of credit has a
borrowing limit of $1 million. There was no amount
outstanding under the line as of April 30, 2005, and based
upon the amount of its eligible assets as year end, the Company
had available for borrowing up to $852,000. The line is secured
by qualifying foreign and domestic accounts receivable and has a
one-year term. The Company incurs interest expense on funds used
at the prevailing prime rate plus two percent per annum. The
prime rate used in the determination of interest shall not be
less than 4.0%. This credit facility expired in June 2005;
however, it was renewed on June 5, 2005 (Note 17).
In connection with the original June 6, 2003
$1.5 million revolving line of credit facility, the Company
issued warrants to Silicon Valley Bank to
purchase 115,385 shares of Company stock at a per
share price of $0.39. The Company determined the fair value of
the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with
the following assumptions: volatility factor of 70%, risk
free-interest rate of 2.1%, expected life of 10 years and
no dividend yield. The fair value for the warrants totaling
$34,600 was recorded as debt issuance costs and was amortized
into interest expense over the one year term of the original
credit facility. The warrants were exercised by Silicon Valley
Bank during fiscal 2005 on a net basis.

Other Long Term Liabilities |
As part of the Acuitrek acquisition (see Note 2), the
Company assumed a royalty payable of $600,000 as established by
the 2001 funded software development and license arrangement
with Acuitreks first customer. A minimum royalty is
payable in quarterly installments equal to two percent of all
gross revenues received from the sale or licensing of the
NavRisk product through June 11, 2011. Any remaining
royalty balance as of June 11, 2011 shall become fully due
and payable on such date. The Company accrued the estimated
costs of providing future support and maintenance services for
the support and maintenance contracts as of the acquisition
date. The future support obligation periods ranged from less
than a year to greater than twenty (20) additional years.
The support obligation for periods greater than one year from
April 30, 2005 is $124,000 and is reflected as Accrued
support obligations.
In France, the Company is subject to mandatory employee
severance costs associated with a statutory government regulated
plan covering all employees. The plan provides for one month of
severance for the first five years of service with an employer
and one fifth of one year of severance for every one year of
service thereafter. In order to receive their severance payment
the employee may not retire before age 65 and must be
employed at the time of retirement. The balance as of
April 30, 2005 and 2004 is $72,432 and $70,283,
respectively and is reflected as other long term liabilities.
|
|
Note 9. |
Maintenance Contracts |
The Company offers maintenance contracts to its customers at the
time they enter into a product license agreement and renew those
contracts, at the customers option, annually thereafter.
These maintenance contracts are priced as a percentage of the
value of the related license agreement. The specific terms and
conditions of these initial maintenance contracts and subsequent
renewals vary depending upon the product licensed and the
country in which the Company does business. Generally,
maintenance contracts provide the customer with unspecified
product maintenance updates and customer support services.
Revenue from maintenance contracts is initially deferred and
then recognized ratably over the term of the agreements.

Stockholders Equity |
The Company may issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred
stock in one or more series upon authorization by its board of
directors. The board of directors, without further approval of
the stockholders, is authorized to fix the dividend rights and
terms, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights and
terms, liquidation preferences, and any other rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions applicable to each
series of preferred stock.
Under the 2001 Stock Option Plan (the 2001 Option
Plan), the Company may grant options to purchase up to
2,975,000 shares of common stock to eligible employees,
directors, and consultants at prices not less than the fair
market value at the date of grant for incentive stock options
and not less than 85% of the fair market value at the date of
grant for non-statutory stock options. Options granted under the
2001 Stock Option Plan generally vest over four years, are
exercisable to the extent vested, and expire 10 years from
the date of grant. In fiscal year 2005 we granted 735,000 option
shares on a four-year vesting schedule to the management team
outside of the 2001 Stock Option Plan. Under the 1991 Stock
Option Plan (the 1991 Option Plan) which expired as
of March 2001, the Company was able to grant options to eligible
employees, directors and consultants at prices not less than the
fair market value at the date of grant for incentive stock
options and not less than 85% of the fair market value at the
date of grant for non-statutory stock options. Options granted
under the 1991 Option Plan generally vest over four years, are
exercisable to the extent vested, and expire 10 years from
the date of grant.

Options to purchase 1,699,499 and 1,309,187 shares at
weighted average prices of $1.28 and $1.65 were exercisable at
April 30, 2004 and 2003. At April 30, 2005, there were
823,919 shares reserved for future grants under the Stock
Option Plan.
Under the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Purchase
Plan), as Amended effective November 15, 2001,
eligible employees may purchase the Companys common stock
through payroll deductions of up to 15% of their base
compensation. Offering periods under the Purchase Plan are of
24 months duration with purchases occurring every six
months. Common stock is purchased for the accounts of
participating employees at a price per share equal to the lower
of (i) 85% of the fair market value of a share of common
stock at the beginning of the offering period or (ii) 85%
of the fair market
F-116

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
value of a share of common stock on the date of purchase. At
April 30, 2005, 496,376 shares were reserved for
future issuance under the Purchase Plan.
On May 1, 2002 the Company established the
2002 Director Restricted Stock Plan (Director
Restricted Stock Plan) as part of a compensation program
designed to attract and retain independent members for our board
of directors. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common
stock that may be issued under the Director Restricted Stock
Plan is 500,000. In May, each independent director shall be
granted a fully vested restricted stock award for the number of
shares which is equal to $10,000 divided by the fair market
value of a share of stock at the award date. There were 42,556
and 100,000 shares awarded in fiscal 2005 and 2004 under
this plan, respectively, leaving a balance of
134,716 shares reserved for future awards at April 30,
2005.
On April 26, 2004 the Company issued through a private
placement 5,633,900 shares of common stock to a group of
institutional investors at a price of $0.71 per share and
5-year warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 2,253,560 shares of common stock
at an exercise price of $0.90 per share. Net proceeds from
the private placement were $3,696,000, net of estimated accrued
costs of $304,000. The Companys actual costs for the
private placement were $397,000 which resulted in a further
reduction of additional
paid-in-capital of
$93,000 during fiscal 2005.
Due to the initial issuance of shares in the acquisition of
Acuitrek in February 2005 which caused the application of the
anti-dilution provision of the warrants, the warrant exercise
price has been adjusted to $0.89 per share and the total
number of warrant shares purchasable on exercise of the warrants
has increased to 2,272,715 shares. Under certain
circumstances, where the closing bid price of a share of common
stock equals or exceeds $1.80, appropriately adjusted for any
stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or other
reclassification or combination of common stock, for 20
consecutive trading days commencing after the registration
statement covering the warrants shares has been declared
effective, the Company, upon 20 days prior written
notice to the warrant holders within one business day
immediately following the end of such 20 day trading
period, may call the warrants for 25% of the shares of the
common stock initially purchasable pursuant to the warrants at a
redemption price equal to $0.01 per share of common stock
then purchasable pursuant to the warrants. If the call
conditions are met again during the 30 day period
immediately after consummation of a previous call, the Company
may once again call the warrants for an additional increment of
25% of the shares of common stock initially purchasable pursuant
to the warrants or such less amount as shall then remain
purchasable and in the same manner and subject to the same
notice requirements as the initial call, until all of the shares
have been called.

Note Receivable from Stockholder |
Note receivable from stockholder at April 30, 2003

recourse note from one of the Companys officers. The note
had an interest rate of 5% annually, and was secured by
250,000 shares of common stock. The note was paid when due

For fiscal 2005, the Company recorded state income expense of
$8,000 and with no federal or foreign tax provisions due to the

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future
earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain.
Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset
by a valuation allowance. The

valuation allowance increased by $710,000, $573,000 and $279,000
during fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. At
April 30, 2005, the Company had approximately
$45.1 million in federal net operating loss carryforwards
that begin to expire in fiscal year 2006 through 2025,
approximately $6.7 million in state net operating loss
carryforwards that expire in fiscal years 2010 to 2015,
approximately $2.5 million in foreign net operating loss
carryforwards that do not expire, approximately
$4.0 million in capital loss carryforwards that expire in
2010 and approximately $99,000 in foreign tax credit
carryforwards. The Companys ability to utilize these net
operating loss carryforwards and credits may be subject to
certain limitations in the event of a change in ownership.

|
Note 15. |
Employee Retirement Plan |
The Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan (the
401(k) Plan). Eligible employees may contribute up
to 15% of their pre-tax annual compensation to the 401(k) Plan,
subject to certain statutory limitations. The Company can, at
its discretion, voluntarily match the participating

Rent expense under operating leases was $1,117,127, $1,098,687
and $1,336,091 for the years ended April 30, 2005, 2004 and
2003, respectively.
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 in 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
April 30, 2005, there were 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.

|
(1) |
The Company allocates revenues to operating segments based on
the location of the country where the license is installed or
service is delivered. There were no transfers between segments
during the periods presented. The accounting policies of the
segments are the same as those described in Note 1. |
|
(2) |
Following the acquisition, the Company entered into two
contracts which required deferral of license revenue until
customer acceptance. The April 2005 Balance Sheet reflects
deferred revenue of $157,000 for these contracts. |
|
(3) |
Americas operating income (loss) is net of corporate product
development and general and administrative expenses. |
|
(4) |
Interest income and interest expense were primarily attributable
to corporate assets located in the Americas for the periods
presented. Interest income and interest expense in the Americas
and Europe were not significant in those periods. |
|
(5) |
Corporate assets are located in the Americas and consist
primarily of cash equivalents, investments, purchased technology
and related maintenance contracts, property and equipment and
intercompany receivables from Europe. |
|
(6) |
The majority of the Companys capital expenditures are
incurred for product development (which occurs exclusively in
the Americas) and for corporate infrastructure. Consequently,
capital expenditures and depreciation expense were primarily
attributable to the Americas in the periods presented. |

UNIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by Unify Corporation (the Company,
we, us, our) pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). While the interim financial information
contained in this filing is unaudited, such financial
statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation.
The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, together
with Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, which are included in the
Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 as filed with the SEC.
The Company generates revenue from software license sales and
related services, including maintenance and support, and
consulting services. The Company licenses its products to end
user customers, independent software vendors (ISVs),
international distributors and value added resellers
(VARs). The Companys contracts with ISVs, VARs
and international distributors do not include special
considerations such as rights of return, stock rotation, price
protection, special acceptance or warranty provisions. With the
exception of its NavRisk product, the Company recognizes revenue
for software license sales in accordance with Statement of
Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. For the
NavRisk product, the Company recognizes revenue for software
licenses sales in accordance with Statement of Position 81-1,
Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and
Certain Production-Type Contracts and Accounting Research
Bulletin (ARB) 45, Long-Term Construction Type
Contracts. The Company exercises judgment in connection
with the determination of the amount of software and services
revenue to be recognized in each accounting period. The nature
of each licensing arrangement determines how revenues and
related costs are recognized.
With the exception of the NavRisk software application, the
Companys products are generally sold with a perpetual
license. The Company sells the NavRisk software under both
perpetual and term licenses. Term licenses allow the customer to
use the NavRisk software for a fixed period of time, generally 3
to 5 years, and at the conclusion of the term the customer
must cease using the software or purchase a new license term.
The customer does not receive any additional software during the
license term. Under both perpetual and term licenses the
customer can, at their discretion, elect to purchase related
maintenance and support on an annual basis.
For software license arrangements that do not require
significant modification or customization of the underlying
software, revenue is recognized when the software product or
service has been shipped or electronically delivered, the
license fees are fixed and determinable, uncertainties regarding
customer acceptance are resolved, collectibility is probable and
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.
For arrangements of $10,000 or more a signed noncancelable
license agreement is required for revenue recognition. For
arrangements that are less than $10,000 the Company considers a
customer purchase order, a customer purchase requisition, or a
sales quotation signed by an officer of the customer to be
persuasive evidence that an arrangement exits such that revenue
can be recognized.
For software license arrangements that do require significant
modification or customization of the underlying software,
revenue is recognized based on contract accounting under the
provisions of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) 45,
Long-Term Construction Type Contracts and Statement
of Position (SOP) 81-1, Accounting for
Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type
Contracts. This guidance is followed since contracts with
customers purchasing the NavRisk application
F-127
UNIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
require significant configuration to the software and the
configuration activities are essential to the functionality of
the software. The Company is using the completed-contract method
for revenue recognition as it has limited experience determining
the accuracy of
progress-to-completion
estimates for installation hours and project milestones. Under
the completed-contract method, revenue is recognized when the
software product or service has been shipped or electronically
delivered, the license fees are fixed and determinable,
uncertainties regarding customer acceptance are resolved,
collectibility is probable and persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists. Project costs incurred for contracts in
progress are deferred and reflected on the Balance Sheet as
Contracts in Progress. When a contract is completed, revenue is
recognized and deferred costs are expensed. The Company
anticipates it will switch to the
percentage-of-completion
method to recognize NavRisk revenue when it is capable of
accurately establishing
progress-to-completion
estimates for the NavRisk contracts.
The Companys customer contracts include multi-element
arrangements that include a delivered element (a software
license) and undelivered elements (such as maintenance and
support and/or consulting). The value allocated to the
undelivered elements is unbundled from the delivered element
based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the
fair value of the maintenance and support and/or consulting,
regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract.
VSOE of fair value is defined as (i) the price charged when
the same element is sold separately, or (ii) if the element
has not yet been sold separately, the price for the element
established by management having the relevant authority when it
is probable that the price will not change before the
introduction of the element into the marketplace. The Company
then allocates the remaining balance to the delivered element (a
software license) regardless of any separate prices stated
within the contract using the residual method as the fair value
of all undelivered elements is determinable.
We defer revenue for any undelivered elements, and recognize
revenue for delivered elements only when the fair values of
undelivered elements are known, uncertainties regarding customer
acceptance are resolved, and there are no customer-negotiated
refund or return rights affecting the revenue recognized for
delivered elements. If we cannot objectively determine the fair
value of any undelivered element included in bundled software
and service arrangements, we defer revenue until all elements
are delivered and services have been performed, or until fair
value can objectively be determined for any remaining
undelivered elements.
An assessment of the ability of the Companys customers to
pay is another consideration that affects revenue recognition.
In some cases, the Company sells to undercapitalized customers.
In those circumstances, revenue recognition is deferred until
cash is received, the customer has established a history of
making timely payments or the customers financial
condition has improved. Furthermore, once revenue has been
recognized, the Company evaluates the related accounts
receivable balance at each period end for amounts that we
believe may no longer be collectible. This evaluation is largely
done based on a review of the financial condition via credit
agencies and historical experience with the customer. Any
deterioration in credit worthiness of a customer may impact the
Companys evaluation of accounts receivable in any given
period.
Revenue from support and maintenance activities, which consist
of fees for ongoing support and unspecified product updates, are
recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract,
typically one year, and the associated costs are expensed as
incurred. Consulting service arrangements are performed on a
best efforts basis and are generally billed under
time-and-materials arrangements. Revenues and expenses relating
to providing consulting services are recognized as the services
are performed.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment. This Statement establishes standards
for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges
its equity instruments for goods or services, primarily with
respect to transactions in which employee services are obtained
in exchange for share-based payment. Statement 123R is
effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that
begins after June 15, 2005. We have not completed the
process of evaluating the impact that will result from adopting
this pronouncement. The Company is therefore unable to disclose
the impact that adopting FASB Statement 123R will have on
its financial position and the results of operations when such
statement is adopted.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153,
Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB
Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions. This statement addresses the measurement of
exchanges of nonmonetary assets and redefines the scope of
transactions that should be measured based on the fair value of
the assets exchanged. Provisions of this Statement are effective
for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods
beginning after June 15, 2005 and were required to be
adopted by the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The
adoption of Statement 153 did not have a material impact on
our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections a
replacement of APB No. 20 and FAS No. 3.
SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on the accounting for
and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It
establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as
the required method for reporting a change in accounting
principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements
specific to the newly adopted accounting principle.
SFAS No. 154 also provides guidance for determining
whether retrospective application of a change in accounting
principle is impracticable and for reporting a change when
retrospective application is impracticable. The correction of an
error in previously issued financial statements is not an
accounting change. However, the reporting of an error correction
involves adjustments to previously issued financial statements
similar to those generally applicable to reporting an accounting
change retrospectively. Therefore, the reporting of a correction
of an error by restating previously issued financial statements
is also addressed by SFAS No. 154.
SFAS No. 154 is required to be adopted in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not expect the
adoption of this accounting pronouncement to have a material
impact on our financial position, cash flows or results of
operations.

Stock Compensation Information |
As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(SFAS 123) and Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure (SFAS 148), the
Company accounts for stock-based awards using the intrinsic
value method of accounting in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees and related interpretations. As such,
compensation is recorded on the measurement date, generally the
date of issuance or grant, as the excess of the current
estimated fair value of the underlying stock over the purchase
or exercise price. Any deferred compensation is amortized over
the respective vesting periods of the equity instruments, if any.
SFAS 123 requires the disclosure of pro forma net income
(loss) and net income (loss) per share had the Company adopted
the fair value method to account for its stock-based awards.
Under SFAS 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to
employees is calculated through the use of option pricing models
which were developed to estimate the fair value of freely
tradable, fully transferable options without vesting
restrictions. Such options differ significantly from the
Companys stock-based awards. These models greatly affect
the calculated values. The Companys calculations are made
using the Black-Scholes
F-129
UNIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
option pricing model, with the following weighted average
assumptions for the three months ended January 31, 2006 and
2005, respectively: expected option life, 12 months
following vesting; stock volatility of 233% and 183%; risk-free
interest rates of 4.4% and 3.4%; and no dividends during the
expected term and for the nine months ended January 31,
2006 and 2005, respectively; expected option life,
12 months following vesting; stock volatility of 222% and
218%, and risk-free interest rates of 4.1% and 3.2%. The
Companys calculations are based on a multiple option
valuation approach and forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net
loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value
recognition provisions of SFAS 123, to stock-based employee
compensation (in thousands, except per share data):

Goodwill will be tested for impairment on an annual basis as of
April 30, and between annual tests if indicators of
potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach in
accordance with FASB 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
On June 5, 2005, the Company renewed its loan agreement
with the Silicon Valley Bank. The agreement provides for a
$1.0 million revolving line of credit and for term loans up
to $250,000 for the purchase of qualifying equipment. The line
of credit is secured by qualifying domestic accounts receivable
and has a one-year term. The term loan is secured by purchased
assets and is repaid over twenty four months. The Company will
incur interest expense on the line of credit and the term loan
at the prevailing prime rate plus 2.0% and 2.5% per annum,
respectively. The prime rate used to determine the interest
shall not be less than 4.0%. As of January 31, 2006, the
Company had $675,000 outstanding under the line of credit (see
Note 5) and $0.2 million in available credit based
upon eligible assets at that date. Additionally, as of

Other Long-Term Liabilities |
In February 2005, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding equity securities of Acuitrek, Inc. As part of the
Acuitrek acquisition, the Company assumed a royalty payable of
$600,000 as established by the 2001 funded software development
and license arrangement with Acuitreks first customer. A
minimum royalty is payable in quarterly installments equal to
two percent of all gross revenues received from the sale or
licensing of the NavRisk product through June 11, 2011. Any
remaining royalty balance as of June 11, 2011 shall become
fully due and payable on such date. The Company accrued the
estimated costs of providing future support and maintenance
services for the support and maintenance contracts as of the
acquisition date. The future support obligation periods ranged
from less than a year to greater than twenty
(20) additional years. The support obligation for periods
greater than one year from January 31, 2006 is $121,000.

In France, the Company is subject to mandatory employee
severance costs associated with a statutory government regulated
plan covering all employees. The plan provides for one month of
severance for the first five years of service with an employer
and one fifth of one year of severance for every one year of
service thereafter. In order to receive their severance payment
the employee may not retire before age 65 and must be
employed at the time of retirement.
The Company offers maintenance contracts to its customers at the
time they enter into a product license agreement and renew those
contracts, generally at the customers option, annually
thereafter. These maintenance contracts are generally priced as
a percentage of the value of the related license agreement. The
specific terms and conditions of these initial maintenance
contracts and subsequent renewals vary depending upon the
product licensed and the country in which the Company does
business. Generally, maintenance contracts provide the customer
with unspecified product maintenance updates and customer
support services. Revenue from maintenance contracts is
initially deferred and then recognized ratably over the term of
the agreements.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share |
SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, requires a
dual presentation of basic and diluted income per share
(EPS). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed
by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common
stockholders by the weighted average of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
issue common stock (e.g. convertible preferred stock, warrants,
and common stock options) were exercised or converted into
common stock. Potential common shares in the diluted EPS
computation are excluded for the three-month and nine-month
periods ended January 31, 2006 and January 31, 2005 as
their effect would be

HALO TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS, INC.
Unify Corporation
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On March 14, 2006, Warp Technology Holdings, Inc. operating
under the name Halo Technology Holdings (Halo or the
Company) entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the Merger Agreement) by and between UCA
Merger Sub, Inc. (Merger Sub), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, and Unify Corporation
(Unify) in a transaction valued at approximately
$21 million, excluding transaction costs, based on
Halos then current market valuation (the
Merger). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger
Sub will be merged with and into Unify, with Unify surviving the
merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Halo. In connection with
the Merger Agreement, two shareholders of Unify representing
approximately thirty-three percent (33%) of outstanding voting
rights of Unify have executed stockholder agreements which,
subject to limited exceptions, require these stockholders to
vote their Unify shares in favor of the Merger.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was approved by
the boards of directors of each of Halo and Unify, each share of
Unifys common stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Merger will be converted into the right to receive
0.437 shares of common stock of Halo (the Exchange
Ratio). The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free
reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended.
In addition, each outstanding option to purchase shares of
common stock of Unify that has an exercise price of less than
$1.00 per share shall become and represent an option to
purchase the number of shares of Halo common stock (rounded down
to the nearest full share) determined by multiplying
(X) the number of shares of Unify common stock subject to
the option immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger
by (Y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share
of Halo common stock equal to the result of dividing
(A) the exercise price of the Unify option by (B) the
Exchange Ratio, and rounding the result up to the nearest tenth
of one cent. All other outstanding options to purchase Unify
common stock shall be cancelled at the effective time of the
Merger. The Halo options issued in substitution of Unify options
shall contain substantially the same terms and conditions as the
applicable Unify options.
Each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of common stock of
Unify shall become and represent a warrant to purchase the
number of shares of Halo common stock (rounded down to the
nearest full share) determined by multiplying (X) the
number of shares of Unify common stock subject to the warrant
immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger by
(Y) the Exchange Ratio. The exercise price for the Halo
shares issuable upon exercise of the Halo warrants issued in
replacement of the Unify warrants shall be $1.836 per
share. The Halo warrants issued in substitution of Unify
Warrants shall contain substantially the same terms and
conditions as the applicable Unify warrants.
Consummation of the Merger is subject to several closing
conditions (Closing Conditions), including, among
others, approval by a majority of Unifys common shares
entitled to vote thereon, holders of less than ten percent (10%)
of Unifys outstanding common stock exercising appraisal or
dissenters rights, Halo receiving a new equity investment
of at least $2.0 million, Halo converting certain of its
outstanding convertible debt into common stock of Halo, the
holders of outstanding shares of Halos preferred stock
converting to shares of Halo 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 Halo, registering the shares of Halo common stock to be
issued in the Merger. In addition, the Merger Agreement contains
certain termination rights allowing Unify, Halo or both parties
to terminate the agreement upon the occurrence of certain
conditions, including the failure to consummate the Merger by
September 30, 2006.
This unaudited pro forma information should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the
Company included in our Annual Report filed on
Form 10-KSB for
the year ended

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2005 and our Quarterly Report filed on
Form 10-QSB for
the six months ended December 31, 2005. In addition, this
pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements of Unify for the nine months ended
January 31, 2006 and the years ended April 30, 2005
and 2004, which are included within this registration statement
S-4.
The following unaudited pro forma statement of operations for
the year ended June 30, 2005 has been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States to give effect to the acquisition of Unify as if
the transaction occurred on July 1, 2004. The pro forma
statement of operations combines the results of operations of
the Company for the year ended June 30, 2005 with the
results of operations of Unify for the twelve months ended
July 31, 2005. Pro forma adjustments include an increase in
intangible amortization, a decrease in deferred revenue
amortization, an increase in amortization of deferred
compensation, and increases in expense for warrants issued in
connection with convertible notes that are converted to common
stock.
The following unaudited pro forma statement of operations for
the six months ended December 31, 2005 has been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States to give effect to the acquisition of Unify as if
the transaction occurred on July 1, 2005. Such pro forma
statement of operations combines the results of operations of
the Company for the six months ended December 31, 2005 with
the results of operations of Unify for the six months ended
January 31, 2006. Pro forma adjustments include an increase
in intangible amortization, a decrease in deferred revenue
amortization, an increase in amortization of deferred
compensation, and increases in expense for warrants issued in
connection with convertible notes that are converted to common
stock.
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 acquisition
of Unify as if the acquisition occurred on December 31,
2005; and combines the balance sheet of the Company as of
December 31, 2005, which is included in the Companys
Quarterly Report filed on
Form 10-QSB for
the six months ended December 31, 2005 with the balance
sheet of Unify as of January 31, 2006.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the estimated cost of
approximately $21 million to acquire Unify, plus
transaction costs of approximately $0.3 million, will be
allocated to Unifys 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 Unify been consummated as of the
dates specified above.

before closing this acquisition per the Merger Agreement.
(D) Equity is to be raised for $2 million in
Halos common stock at $1.25 per share. As a result,
1,600,000 shares of Halos common stock will be
issued. The par value of the common stock is $.00001.$16 is
recorded as common stock, and $1,999,984 is recorded as
additional paid in capital.
(E) Certain existing Halo convertible notes are to be
converted to Halos common stock. As of December 31,
2005, these notes amounted to $1,150,000 in principal, and
$30,417 in accrued interest. The total $1,180,417 is to be
converted at $1.25 per share, issuing 944,334 shares
of Halos common stock. The value of the common stock
issued is $1,293,738 at $1.37 per share market price as of
December 31, 2005. At the $.00001 par value, $9 is
recorded as common stock, and $1,293,729 is recorded as
additional paid in capital. Interest expense of $113,321 is
recorded for the excess of the market value of the common stock
over the value of the original notes and accrued interest. One
of these convertible notes were originally issued with warrants,
whose fair market value was reduced from the principal. The
accreted amount at December 31, 2005 was $1,095,885. The
unaccreted amount of $54,115 as of December 31, 2005 is
charged to interest expense as this note was converted to common
stock. Furthermore, additional warrants are to be issued to the
note holders on conversion of these notes. The fair market value
of these warrants are estimated to be $854,195, using the
Black-Scholes method. This amount is also expensed as interest.
(F) Halos Preferred Series C and Preferred
Series D Stock are to be converted to Halos common
stock at a one share to one share ratio. 13,802,837 shares
of Preferred Series C Stock (the liquidation value of
$13,802,837) and 7,045,454 shares of Preferred
Series D Stock (the liquidation value of $6,750,000) were
converted into the same number of shares of Halos common
stock. At the $.00001 par value, $208 ($138 for
Series C and $70 for Series D) is recorded as common
stock. $20,552,629 ($13,802,699 for Series C and $6,749,930
for Series D) is recorded as additional paid in capital.
(G) The following represents the acquisition of Unify and
the preliminary allocation of the purchase price. Estimates are
made based on Halos stock price as of December 31,
2005, Unifys balance sheet, common stock, warrants, and
stock options information as of January 31, 2006. The fair
market value (FMV) of options and warrants are
estimated using the Black-Scholes method. The final allocation
of the purchase price will be determined based on a
comprehensive final evaluation of the fair value of the tangible
and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2005,

July 31, 2005 in the fiscal year ending April 30, 3006
and last three quarters of its fiscal year ended April 30,
2005.
(L) To record the decrease in amortization of the deferred
revenue as a result of a fair value adjustment (in accordance
with EITF 01-03,
Accounting in a Business Combination for Deferred Revenue
of an Acquiree) of $1,193,759 and $1,633,565 for the six
months ended December 31, 2005 and for the year ended
June 30, 2005, respectively, which is included in services
revenue.
(M) To record the increased amortization of deferred
compensation of $105,719 and $191,660 for the six months ended
December 31, 2005 and for the year ended June 30,
2005, respectively. These increases are the results of the
conversion of unvested Unify stock options.
(N) To record the increased amortization of intangibles of
$479,199 and $958,397 for the six months ended December 31,
2005 and for the year ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

the fair market value of the intangible assets acquired.
(O) To record the increased interest expense of $1,021,631
for both the six months ended December 31, 2005 and for the
year ended June 30, 2005. The increase in the interest
expense results from conversion of the convertible notes
described in the note (E) of NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA
CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET.
(P) The Company did not record an income tax benefit
because the company provided a full valuation allowance against
the deferred tax asset.

HALO TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS, INC.
Unify Corporation and InfoNow Corporation
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Acquisition of Unify Corporation
On March 14, 2006, Warp Technology Holdings, Inc. operating
under the name Halo Technology Holdings (Halo or the
Company) entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the Merger Agreement) by and between UCA
Merger Sub, Inc. (Merger Sub), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, and Unify Corporation
(Unify) in a transaction valued at approximately
$21 million, excluding transaction costs, based on
Halos then current market valuation (the
Merger). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger
Sub will be merged with and into Unify, with Unify surviving the
merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Halo. In connection with
the Merger Agreement, two shareholders of Unify representing
approximately thirty-three percent (33%) of outstanding voting
rights of Unify have executed stockholder agreements which,
subject to limited exceptions, require these stockholders to
vote their Unify shares in favor of the Merger.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was approved by
the boards of directors of each of Halo and Unify, each share of
Unifys common stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Merger will be converted into the right to receive 0.437 shares
of common stock of Halo (the Exchange Ratio). The
Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under
Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.
In addition, each outstanding option to purchase shares of
common stock of Unify that has an exercise price of less than
$1.00 per share shall become and represent an option to purchase
the number of shares of Halo common stock (rounded down to the
nearest full share) determined by multiplying (X) the
number of shares of Unify common stock subject to the option
immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger by
(Y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of
Halo common stock equal to the result of dividing (A) the
exercise price of the Unify option by (B) the Exchange
Ratio, and rounding the result up to the nearest tenth of one
cent. All other outstanding options to purchase Unify common
stock shall be cancelled at the effective time of the Merger.
The Halo options issued in substitution of Unify options shall
contain substantially the same terms and conditions as the
applicable Unify options.
Each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of common stock of
Unify shall become and represent a warrant to purchase the
number of shares of Halo common stock (rounded down to the
nearest full share) determined by multiplying (X) the
number of shares of Unify common stock subject to the warrant
immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger by
(Y) the Exchange Ratio. The exercise price for the Halo
shares issuable upon exercise of the Halo warrants issued in
replacement of the Unify warrants shall be $1.836 per share. The
Halo warrants issued in substitution of Unify Warrants shall
contain substantially the same terms and conditions as the
applicable Unify warrants.
Consummation of the Merger is subject to several closing
conditions (Closing Conditions), including, among
others, approval by a majority of Unifys common shares
entitled to vote thereon, holders of less than ten percent (10%)
of Unifys outstanding common stock exercising appraisal or
dissenters rights, Halo receiving a new equity investment
of at least $2.0 million, Halo converting certain of its
outstanding convertible debt into common stock of Halo, the
holders of outstanding shares of Halos preferred stock
converting to shares of Halo 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 Halo, registering the shares of Halo common stock to be
issued in the Merger. In addition, the Merger Agreement contains
certain termination rights allowing
F-144
HALO TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS, INC.
Unify Corporation and InfoNow Corporation
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Unify, Halo or both parties to terminate the agreement upon the
occurrence of certain conditions, including the failure to
consummate the Merger by September 30, 2006.
Acquisition of InfoNow Corporation
On December 23, 2005, Halo entered into an 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 excluding transaction costs (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 Halo.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was approved by
both companies boards of directors, each share of
InfoNows common stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Merger will be converted into the right to receive approximately
$0.71 in a combination of cash and common stock of Halo. The
amount of cash per share to be received in the Merger by InfoNow
stockholders will be determined by the amount of InfoNows
cash on hand and net working capital available to it three days
prior to the closing. The lesser of the two amounts will be paid
in cash by Halo pro rata in proportion to each
stockholders ownership in InfoNow at the closing of the
Merger. The remainder of the approximately $0.71 per share
Merger consideration will be paid in shares of Halo common
stock, the value of which will be deemed to be the greater of
$1.00 or the average closing price of Halos 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 Halo common stock
to the extent that the approximately $0.71 per share merger
consideration exceeds the applicable exercise price. The amount
of cash and Halo 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 Halo common stock issued in the Merger in respect of the
outstanding Company common stock.
Halo will also issue a contingent value right (a
CVR) in respect of each share of Halo 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
Halos 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 Halos
common stock is not less than 200,000 per day, the stock price
is 175% of the Halo Conversion Price. The shares of Halo common
stock and related CVRs to be issued in the Merger are expected
to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC).

HALO TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS, INC.
Unify Corporation and InfoNow Corporation
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The following unaudited pro forma statement of operations for
the year ended June 30, 2005 has been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States to give effect to the acquisition of Unify and
InfoNow as if the transaction occurred on July 1, 2004. The
pro forma statement of operations combines the results of
operations of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2005
with the results of operations of Unify for the twelve months
ended July 31, 2005 and the results of operations of
InfoNow for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005. Pro
forma adjustments include an increase in intangible
amortization, a decrease in deferred revenue amortization, an
increase in amortization of deferred compensation, and increases
in expense for warrants issued in connection with convertible
notes that are converted to common stock.
The following unaudited pro forma statement of operations for
the six months ended December 31, 2005 has been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States to give effect to the acquisition of Unify and
InfoNow as if the transaction occurred on July 1, 2005.
Such pro forma statement of operations combines the results of
operations of the Company for the six months ended
December 31, 2005 with the results of operations of Unify
for the six months ended January 31, 2006 and the results
of operations of InfoNow for the six months ended
December 31, 2005. Pro forma adjustments include an
increase in intangible amortization, a decrease in deferred
revenue amortization, an increase in amortization of deferred
compensation, and increases in expense for warrants issued in
connection with convertible notes that are converted to common
stock.
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 acquisition
of Unify as if the acquisition occurred on December 31,
2005; and combines the balance sheet of the Company as of
December 31, 2005, which is included in the Companys
Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-QSB for the six months
ended December 31, 2005 with the balance sheet of Unify as
of January 31, 2006 and the balance sheet of InfoNow as of
December 31, 2005.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the estimated cost of
approximately $21 million to acquire Unify, plus
transaction costs of approximately $.3 million, will be
allocated to Unifys underlying net assets at their
respective fair values. The estimated cost of approximately
$7.2 million to acquire InfoNow, plus transaction costs of
approximately $.3 million, will be allocated to
InfoNows 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 Unify and InfoNow been
consummated as of the dates specified above.

reclassifications to conform to the companys financial
statement presentation. In order to conform Unifys fiscal
year end from April 30 year end to Halos June
30 year end, Unifys historical operating results have
been derived from combinations of quarters in its two fiscal
years. For the pro forma statements of operations for the six
months ended December 31, 2005, Unifys results were
derived by combining the quarter ended January 31, 2006 and
quarter ended October 31, 2005 in its fiscal year ending
April 30, 2006. For the pro forma statements of operations
for the year ended June 30, 2005, Unifys results were
derived by combining the quarter ended July 31, 2005 in the
fiscal year ending April 30, 3006 and last three quarters
of its fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.
(O) To record the decrease in amortization of the deferred

(P) To record the increased amortization of deferred
compensation of $105,719 and $191,660 for the six months ended

$479,199 and $958,397 for the six months ended December 31,
2005 and for the year ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

(R) To record the increased interest expense of $1,021,631
for both the six months ended December 31, 2005 and for the
year ended June 30, 2005. The increase in the interest
expense results from conversion of the convertible notes
described in the note (E) of NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA
CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET.

ARTICLE II
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT
CORPORATIONS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES
2.1 Effect on Stock.
As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without
any action on the part of Merger Sub, the Company or the holders
of any securities of the Company or Merger Sub:
|
|
|
(a) Cancellation of Company Common Stock. Each share
of Company Common Stock that is owned directly by the Company or
by Parent or any of their wholly-owned Subsidiaries, if any,
shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to
exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange
therefor. |
|
|
(b) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Subject to
Sections 2.1(e) and 2.2(e), each issued and outstanding
share of Company Common Stock (other than shares to be cancelled
in accordance with Section 2.1(a) and shares exercising
appraisal rights in accordance with Section 2.1(f)) at the
Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive
0.437 of one share of Parent Common Stock (the Exchange
Ratio). The shares of Parent Common Stock issued in
exchange for Company Common Stock, together with the Substitute
Options and the Substitute Warrants, constitutes the
Merger Consideration. As of the Effective
Time and without any action on the part of the holders thereof,
all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be
outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and
shall cease to exist, and each holder |
A-2
|
|
|
of a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the
Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common
Stock (the Certificates) shall cease to have
any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive
(i) the Merger Consideration and (ii) certain
dividends and other distributions in accordance with
Section 2.2(c). |
|
|
(c) Conversion of Common Stock of Merger Sub. Each
issued and outstanding share of common stock, no par value per
share, of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common
stock of the Surviving Corporation. |
|
|
(d) Common Stock Options and Warrants. |
|
|
|
(i) Prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding Company
Stock Option that (1) has an exercise price of less than
$1.00 per share, and (2) is unexercised as of the
Effective Date shall become and represent an option to purchase
(a Substitute Option) the number of shares of
Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest full share)
determined by multiplying (X) the number of shares of
Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option
immediately prior to the Effective Time by (Y) the Exchange
Ratio, at an exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock
equal to the result of dividing (A) the exercise price of
such Company Stock Option by (B) the Exchange Ratio and
rounding the result up to the nearest tenth of one cent. All
other outstanding options to purchase Company Common Stock shall
be cancelled at the Effective Time. All Substitute Options shall
contain substantially the same terms and conditions as the
applicable Company Stock Option. |
|
|
(ii) Prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding and
unexercised warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock
(each, a Company Warrant) shall become and
represent a warrant to purchase (a Substitute
Warrant) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock
(rounded down to the nearest full share) determined by
multiplying (X) the number of shares of Company Common
Stock subject to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the
Effective Time by (Y) the Exchange Ratio, on such other
terms and subject to such other conditions as are set forth in
the form of Substitute Warrant attached hereto as
Exhibit B. |
|
|
|
(e) Adjustments to Exchange Ratio. The Exchange
Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of
any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including
any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for Parent Common Stock or Company
Common Stock), extraordinary dividend, reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of
shares or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock
or Company Common Stock occurring or having a record date on or
after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time. |
|
|
(f) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding any provision
of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common
Stock which are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time and which are held by a holder who has not voted
such shares in favor of the Merger and who has or may properly
demand appraisal rights in the manner provided by
Section 262 of the DGCL (Dissenting
Shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive
a portion of the Merger Consideration unless and until the
holder of such shares becomes ineligible for such appraisal
rights. The holders thereof shall be entitled only to such
rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL. Each
holder of Dissenting Shares who becomes entitled to payment for
such shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL shall
receive payment therefor from the Parent in accordance with the
DGCL; provided, however, that (a) if any such
holder of Dissenting Shares shall have failed to establish
entitlement to appraisal rights as provided in Section 262
of the DGCL, (b) if any such holder of Dissenting Shares
shall have effectively withdrawn demand for appraisal of such
shares or lost the right to appraisal and payment for shares
under Section 262 of the DGCL or (c) if neither any
holder of Dissenting Shares nor the Surviving Corporation shall
have filed a petition demanding a determination of the value of
all Dissenting Shares within the time provided in
Section 262 of the DGCL, such holder shall forfeit the
right to appraisal of such shares and each such share shall be
treated as if it had been, as of the Effective Time, converted
into a right to receive the applicable |
A-3
|
|
|
portion of the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon,
as provided in Section 2.1(b) of this Agreement. The
Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received
by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Common
Stock, and Parent shall have the right to direct all
negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The
Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of
Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to
settle, any such demands with respect to any holder of
Dissenting Shares before the Effective Time. |
2.2 Exchange of Certificates.
(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Closing Date,
Parent shall enter into an agreement with such bank or trust
company as may be designated by Parent and as shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company to act as exchange agent
for the purpose of exchanging Certificates for the Merger
Consideration (the Exchange Agent). At or
prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the
Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of
Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this
Article II, through the Exchange Agent, the Parent Common
Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 in exchange for
outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. Parent shall issue
the Substitute Options and Substitute Warrants directly to the
holders of outstanding Company Stock Options and Company
Warrants. Parent shall also make available to the Exchange
Agent, from time to time as required after the Effective Time,
cash necessary to pay dividends and distributions in accordance
with Section 2.2(c) and to make payments in lieu of any
fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.2(e). Any
certificates of Parent Common Stock and cash deposited with the
Exchange Agent as provided above shall hereinafter be referred
to as the Exchange Fund.
(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably
practicable after the Effective Time, but no later than two days
thereafter, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of
record of a Certificate whose shares were converted into the
Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1 of this
Agreement, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify
that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to
the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the
Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and
have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may
reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in
effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the
Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for
cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of
transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may
reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such
Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a
Parent certificate representing that number of whole shares of
Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder pursuant to the
Merger, certain dividends or other distributions in accordance
with Section 2.2(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional
share in accordance with Section 2.2(e) that such holder
has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this
Article II, and the Certificate so surrendered shall
forthwith be cancelled. Any other cash distributions made in
accordance with Section 2.2(c) and 2.2(e) shall be paid by
check or wire transfer. In the event of a transfer of ownership
of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer
records of the Company, a certificate representing the proper
number of shares of Parent Common Stock may be issued to a
Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so
surrendered is registered if such Certificate shall be properly
endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the
Person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or other
non-income taxes required by reason of the issuance of shares of
Parent Common Stock to a Person other than the registered holder
of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent
that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until
surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each
Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time
to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the
Merger Consideration that the holder thereof has the right to
receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, and,
if applicable, certain dividends or other distributions in
accordance with Section 2.2(c). No interest will be paid or
will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates
pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.
(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged
Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to
Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time
shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate
with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented
thereby,
A-4
and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid
to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.2(e), and all such
dividends, other distributions and cash in lieu of fractional
shares of Parent Common Stock shall be paid by Parent to the
Exchange Agent and shall be included in the Exchange Fund, in
each case until the surrender of such Certificate in accordance
with this Article II. Subject to the effect of applicable
escheat or similar laws, following surrender of any such
Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the
certificate representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock
issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the
time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other
distributions with a record date after the Effective Time
theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent
Common Stock, and the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a
fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is
entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(e) and (ii) at the
appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other
distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but
prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to
such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of
Parent Common Stock. Parent shall make available to the Exchange
Agent cash for these purposes.
(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common
Stock. All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon the
surrender for exchange of Certificates in accordance with the
terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been
issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the
shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such
Certificates, subject, however, to the Surviving
Corporations obligation to pay any dividends or make any
other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective
Time that may have been authorized or made by the Company on
such shares of Company Common Stock that remain unpaid at the
Effective Time, and there shall be no further registration of
transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving
Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after
the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving
Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be
cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II,
except as otherwise provided by law.
(e) No Fractional Shares.
|
|
|
(i) No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares
of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for
exchange of Certificates, no dividend or distribution of Parent
shall relate to such fractional share interests and such
fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to
vote or to any rights of a stockholder of Parent. |
|
|
(ii) As promptly as practicable following the Effective
Time, Parent shall pay to each former holder of Company Common
Stock an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by
multiplying (A) the fractional share interest to which such
former holder (after taking into account all shares of Company
Common Stock held at the Effective Time by such holder) would
otherwise be entitled by (B) Parents Conversion Price. |
|
|
(iii) As soon as practicable after the determination of the
amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Company Common
Stock with respect to any fractional share interests, the
Exchange Agent will make available such amounts to such holders
of Company Common Stock subject to and in accordance with the
terms of Section 2.2(c). |
(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the
Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the
Certificates for twelve (12) months after the Effective
Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders
of the Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this
Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment
of their claim for Merger Consideration and any dividends or
distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock.
(g) No Liability. None of Parent, the Company,
Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent
shall be liable to any Person in respect of any shares of Parent
Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect
thereto) or cash from the Exchange Fund in each case properly
delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable
abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Certificate
shall not have been surrendered prior to seven years after the
Effective Time, and shall not
A-5
previously have been required to be escheated to or become the
property of any Governmental Entity, any such Merger
Consideration or cash, dividends or distributions in respect of
such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims
or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
(h) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent
shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed
by Parent, on a daily basis. Any interest and other income
resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent upon
termination of the Exchange Fund.
(i) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have
been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit
of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost,
stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange
for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger
Consideration and unpaid dividends and distributions on shares
of Parent Common Stock deliverable in respect thereof, in each
case pursuant to this Agreement.
(j) Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving
Corporation, Parent and Exchange Agent shall be entitled to
deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable
pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company
Common Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and
withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the
Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or
any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent
that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation,
Parent or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, and delivered
to the relevant taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be
treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid
to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock in respect
of which such deduction and withholding was made by the
Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent, as the case
may be.
2.3 Further Assurances.
At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of
the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and
deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub,
any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take
and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub,
any other actions and things reasonably necessary to vest,
perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving
Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and
under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be
acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in
connection with, the Merger.

referred to in Section 4.8 hereof. The unpaid Taxes of
Parent (i) did not, as of the date of any financial
statement referred to in Parents Annual Reports on
Form 10-KSB exceed

notes thereto) and (ii) will not as of the Closing Date
exceed such reserve as adjusted for the passage of time though
the Closing Date in accordance with past custom and practice of

full force and effect, and Surviving Corporation shall have full
benefit of the same, except where the failure to be valid and in

license, permit, registration, order, authorization, approval or
franchise could not reasonably be expected to, individually or
in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent or
Surviving Corporation. Parent has not received any notification
of any asserted present failure (or past and unremedied failure)
by it to have obtained any such license, permit, registration,
order, authorization, approval or franchise, except where such

other things and to the extent Parent so desires, the
willingness of Parent to accept an order agreeing to the

5.4 No Solicitation.
(a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the

accordance with its terms, the Company will not, and will not
permit its directors, officers, investment bankers, affiliates,
representatives and agents to, (i) solicit, initiate, or
encourage (including by way of furnishing information), or take
any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or proposals that
constitute, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any
Company Acquisition Proposal, or (ii) engage in, or enter
into, any negotiations or discussions concerning any Company
Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that, notwithstanding compliance with the preceding
sentence, the Company receives a Company Superior Proposal the
Company may, to the extent that the Board of Directors of the
Company determines in good faith (in consultation with outside
counsel) that such action would be required by its fiduciary
duties, participate in discussions regarding any Company
Superior Proposal in order to be informed and make a
determination with respect thereto. In such event, the Company
shall, (i) no less than twenty four (24) hours prior
to participating in any such discussions, inform Parent of the
material terms and conditions of such Company Superior Proposal,
including the identity of the Person making such Company
Superior Proposal. and (ii) promptly keep Parent informed
of the status including any material change to the terms of any
such Company Superior Proposal. The Company will immediately
cease any and all existing activities, discussions or
negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect
to any of the foregoing.
(b) For Purposes of this Agreement:
Company Acquisition Proposal means any bona
fide inquiry, proposal or offer relating to any (i) merger,
consolidation, business combination, or similar transaction
involving the Company, (ii) sale, lease or other
disposition, directly or indirectly, by merger, consolidation,
share exchange or otherwise, of any assets of the Company in one
or more transactions, (iii) issuance, sale, or other
disposition of (including by way of merger, consolidation, share
exchange or any similar transaction) securities (or options,
rights or warrants to purchase such securities, or securities
convertible into such securities) of the Company,
(iv) liquidation, dissolution, recapitalization or other
similar type of transaction with respect to the Company,
(v) tender offer or exchange offer for Company securities;
in the case of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above,
which transaction would result in a third party (or its
shareholders) acquiring more than twenty percent (20%) of the
voting power of the Company or the assets representing more than
twenty percent (20%) of the net income, net revenue or assets of
the Company on a consolidated basis, (vi) transaction which
is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing
transactions, or (vii) public announcement of an agreement,
proposal, plan or intention to do any of the foregoing,
provided, however, that the term Company
Acquisition Proposal shall not include the Merger and the
transactions contemplated thereby.
Company Superior Proposal means any offer not
solicited by the Company, or by other persons in violation of
the first sentence of Section 5.4(a), and made by a third
party to consummate a tender offer, exchange offer, merger,
consolidation or similar transaction which would result in such
third party (or its shareholders) owning, directly or
indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the Company Shares
then outstanding (or of the surviving entity in a merger) or all
or substantially all of the assets of Company, and otherwise on
terms which the Board of Directors of the Company determines in
good faith (based on its consultation with a financial advisor
and other such matters that it deems relevant) would, if
consummated, result in a transaction more favorable to the
Companys stockholders than the Merger and, in the
reasonable good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Company after consultation with its financial advisor, the
persons or entity making such Company Superior Proposal has the
financial means to conclude such transaction.
A-27
(c) Neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any
committee thereof shall, except as required by their fiduciary
duties as determined in good faith in consultation with outside
counsel, (i) withdraw or modify, or propose to withdraw or
modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the
approval or recommendation by the Board of Directors of the
Company or such committee of this Agreement or the Merger,
(ii) approve, recommend, or otherwise support or endorse
any Company Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) cause the
Company to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in
principle, acquisition agreement or similar agreement with
respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal. Nothing contained
in this Section 5.4 shall prohibit the Company from taking
and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by
Rule 14d-9 or
14e-2 promulgated under
the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to the
Companys stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of
the Board of Directors of the Company, in consultation with
outside counsel, such disclosure is necessary for the Board of
Directors to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable
law.
(d) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth
in paragraphs (a) and (c) of this
Section 5.4, the Company will promptly (and in any event
within twenty-four (24) hours) advise Parent, orally and in
writing, if any Company Acquisition Proposal is made or proposed
to be made or any information or access to properties, books or
records of the Company is requested in connection with a Company
Acquisition Proposal, the principal terms and conditions of any
such Company Acquisition Proposal or potential Company
Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and the identity of the party
making such Company Acquisition Proposal, potential Company
Acquisition Proposal or inquiry. . The Company will keep Parent
advised of the status and details (including amendments and
proposed amendments) of any such request or Company Acquisition
Proposal.

Indemnification and Insurance. |
(a) In the event of any threatened or actual claim, action,
suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or
administrative, in which any person who is now, or has been at
any time prior to the date of this Agreement, or who becomes
prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer or employee
of the Company (the Indemnified Parties) is,
or is threatened to be, made a party based in whole or in part
on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to
(i) the fact that he is or was a director, officer or
employee of the Company or any of its predecessors or
(ii) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby, whether in any case asserted or arising before or after
the Effective Time, the Parties agree to cooperate and defend
against and respond thereto to the extent permitted by
applicable law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws
of the Company. It is understood and agreed that after the
Effective Time, Parent and Surviving Corporation shall indemnify
and hold harmless, as and to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws
of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective
Time, each such Indemnified Party against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable
attorneys fees and expenses in advance of the final
disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to
each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by law
upon receipt of any undertaking required by applicable law),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
(Damages) in connection with any such
threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or
investigation, and in the event of any such threatened or actual
claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether
asserted or arising before or after the Effective Time), the
Indemnified Parties may retain counsel reasonably satisfactory
to Parent; provided, however, that (1) Parent
shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and upon such
assumption Parent shall not be liable to any Indemnified Party
for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses
subsequently incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection
with the defense thereof, except that if Parent elects not to
assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties
reasonably advises the Indemnified Parties that there are issues
which raise conflicts of interest between Parent and the
Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Parent, and Parent shall pay the
reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified
Parties, (2) Parent shall be obligated pursuant to this
paragraph to pay for only one counsel for each Indemnified
Party, (3) Parent shall not be liable for any settlement
effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (4) Parent
shall not be obligated pursuant to this paragraph to the extent
that a final judgment determines that any Damages are as a
result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct or result
from a decision made by the Indemnified Party when the
Indemnified Party had no good faith belief that he or she was
acting in the best interests of the Company. Any Indemnified
Party wishing to claim indemnification under this
Section 6.11, upon learning of any such claim, action,
suit, proceeding or investigation, shall notify Parent thereof;
provided, however, that the failure to so notify
shall not affect the obligations of Parent under this
Section 6.11 except to the extent such failure to notify
materially prejudices Parent. Parents obligations under
this Section 6.11 continue in full force and effect for a
period of five years from the Effective Time; provided,
however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of
any claim asserted or made within such period shall continue
until the final disposition of such claim.
If Parent or any of its successors or assigns shall consolidate
with or merge into any other entity and shall not be the
continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger
or shall transfer all or
A-32
substantially all of its assets to any entity, then and in each
case, the successors and assigns of Parent shall assume the
obligations set forth in this Section 6.11.
Parent shall ensure than any officer or director of the Company
who becomes an executive officer or director of Parent on or
after the Effective Time shall, at the time such person becomes
an executive officer or director of Parent, be named as an
insured under Parents directors and officers liability
policy to the same extent as other executive officers and
directors of Parent.
(b) Company shall purchase for the benefit of the persons
serving as executive officers and directors of the Company
immediately prior to the Effective Time, directors and
officers liability insurance coverage for five years after
the Effective Time, under either Companys policy in
existence on the date hereof, or under a policy of similar
coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are
generally not less advantageous than the Companys current
policy, and in either case, with respect to acts or omissions
occurring prior to the Effective Time which were committed by
such executive officers and directors in their capacity as such
(Tail Insurance). Company shall not purchase
Tail Insurance with a premium of more than $200,000.
If any fair price, moratorium,
control share acquisition or other form of
antitakeover statute or regulation shall become applicable to
the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the Company and
Parent and the members of their respective Boards of Directors
shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are
reasonably necessary so that the transactions contemplated
hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the
terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or
minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the
transactions contemplated hereby.

6.13 |
Accountants Comfort Letters. |
The Company and Parent will each use reasonable best efforts to
cause to be delivered to each other letters from their
respective independent accountants, dated a date within two
business days before the date of the Registration Statement, in
form reasonably satisfactory to the recipient and customary in
scope for comfort letters delivered by independent accountants
in connection with registration statements on
Form S-4 under the
Securities Act.
The Company and Parent shall each furnish to the other copies of
any reports of the type referred to in Sections 3.5 and 4.8
that it files with the SEC on or after the date hereof, and each
of the Company and Parent, as the case may be, represents and
warrants that as of the respective dates thereof, such reports
will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Any
unaudited consolidated interim financial statements included in
such reports (including any related notes and schedules) will
fairly present the financial position of the Company or Parent
and its consolidated Subsidiaries, as the case may be, as of the
dates thereof and the results of operations and changes in
financial position or other information included therein for the
periods or as of the date then ended (subject, where
appropriate, to normal year-end adjustments), in each case in
accordance with past practice and GAAP consistently applied
during the periods involved (except as otherwise disclosed in
the notes thereto).

following receipt by the breaching party of written notice of
such breach from the other party hereto or such breach, by its
nature, cannot be cured prior to the Closing; |

|
|
|
8.2 |
Effect of Termination; Termination Fee. |
(a) Except as set forth in this Section 8.2, in the
event of termination of this Agreement by either Parent or the
Company as provided in this Article VIII, this Agreement
shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or
obligation on the part of the Parties or their respective
affiliates, officers, directors or stockholders except
(x) with respect to the treatment of confidential
information, the payment of expenses pursuant to
Section 9.2, and Article IX generally, (y) to the
extent that such termination results from the willful breach of
a Party of any of its representations or warranties, or any of
its covenants or agreements or (z) intentional or knowing
misrepresentation in connection with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby.
(b) In the event that (i)(1) a Company
Acquisition Proposal or the intention to make a Company
Acquisition Proposal shall have been made directly to the
stockholders of the Company generally or otherwise publicly
announced by the Company or the Person making such Company
Acquisition Proposal, (2) such Company Acquisition Proposal
or intention is not irrevocably and publicly withdrawn prior to
the vote of the Company stockholders at the duly held Company
Stockholders Meeting, and (3) this Agreement is terminated
by either the Company or Parent (x) pursuant to
Section 8.1(c) due to the Company Stockholders Meeting not
occurring as a result of such Company Acquisition Proposal or
(y) Section 8.1(d), (ii) this Agreement is
terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(g) or
(iii) this Agreement is terminated by either the Company or
Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(h), then the Company shall
promptly, but in no event later than the date of such
termination, pay Parent a fee equal to $600,000 (the
Company Termination Fee), payable by wire
transfer of same day funds. The Company acknowledges that the
agreements contained in this Section 8.2(b) are an integral
part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and
that, without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this
Agreement, and accordingly, if the Company fails promptly to pay
the amount due pursuant to this Section 8.2(b), and, in
order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit which
results in a judgment against the Company for the fee set forth
in this Section 8.2(b), the Company shall pay to Parent its
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees
and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with
interest on the amount of the fee at the prime rate of Citibank,
N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.
(c) If this Agreement is terminated under circumstances in
which the Parent is entitled to receive a Company Termination
Fee, the payment of such Company Termination Fee shall be the
sole and exclusive remedy available to such party, except in the
event of (x) a willful breach by the other party of any
provision of this Agreement or (y) the intentional or
knowing misrepresentation in connection with this Agreement or
the transactions contemplated hereby, in which event the
non-breaching Party shall have all rights, powers and remedies
against the breaching Party which may be available at law or in
equity. All rights, powers and remedies provided under this
Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in
equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise
of any such right, power or remedy by any Party shall not
preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such
right, power or remedy by such Party.
Subject to compliance with applicable law, this Agreement may be
amended by the Parties, by action taken or authorized by their
respective Board of Directors, at any time before or after
approval of the matters presented in connection with the Merger
by the stockholders of the Company; provided,
however, that after any approval of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement by the Companys
A-37
stockholders, there may not be, without further approval of such
stockholders, any amendment of this Agreement which reduces the
amount or changes the form of the consideration to be delivered
to the Company stockholders hereunder other than as contemplated
by this Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended except by
an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties.
At any time prior to the Effective Time, the Parties, by action
taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors,
may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for
the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the
other Parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the
representations and warranties contained herein or in any
document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive
compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained
herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such
extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a
written instrument signed on behalf of such Party, but such
extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance
with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not
operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any
subsequent or other failure.

PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
March 10, 2006
Unify Board of Directors
Unify Corporation
2101 Arena Blvd., Suite 100
Sacramento, CA 95834
Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a
financial point of view, to the holders of the outstanding
shares of common stock, no par value per share (the
Shares) of Unify Corporation (the
Company), of the 0.43 share of Warp Technology
Holdings, Inc. common stock to be received by such holders
pursuant to the terms contained in the draft Agreement and Plan
of Merger, dated as of March 9, 2006 (the
Agreement), among Warp Technology Holdings, Inc.
(Halo), Target Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Halo (Merger Sub), and the Company.
Douglas, Curtis & Allyn LLC and its affiliates have not
acted as a financial advisor to the Company in connection with,
nor have we participated in any of the negotiations leading to,
the transaction contemplated by the Agreement (the
Transaction). We have received fees for our services
in connection with the Transaction, none of which were
contingent upon consummation of the Transaction or upon the
conclusion of our opinion, and the Company has agreed to
indemnify us against certain liabilities arising out of our
engagement.
In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other
things, the Agreement; the Companys and Halos Annual
Reports on
Form 10-KSB or
Form 10-K, as the case may be; quarterly reports on
Form 10-QSB or
Form 10-Q, as the
case may be; other SEC filings; and certain internal financial
analyses and forecasts prepared by each companys
management. In that regard, we have assumed, with your consent,
that the internal financial forecasts prepared by management of
the Company and Halo, including cost savings and operating
synergies, have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting
the best currently available estimates and judgments of the
Company and Halo, and that such forecasts will be realized in
the amounts and time periods contemplated thereby. We also have
held discussions with members of senior management of the
Company regarding their assessment of the strategic rationale
for, and the potential benefits of, the Transaction and the past
and current business operations, financial conditions and future
prospects and risks of the Company. In addition, we have
reviewed the reported price and trading activity for the Shares,
compared certain financial and stock market information for the
Company with similar financial and stock market information for
certain other companies, the securities of which are publicly
traded, reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business
combinations in the Companys software development tools
and vertical software applications industry sectors specifically
and in other software companies generally, and performed such
other studies and analyses, and considered such other factors,
as we considered appropriate.
We have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the
financial, accounting, legal, tax and other information
discussed with or reviewed by us and have assumed such accuracy
and completeness for purposes of rendering this opinion. In
addition, we have not made an independent evaluation or
appraisal of the assets and liabilities (including any
intangible, contingent, derivative or off-balance-sheet assets
and liabilities) of the Company, Halo or Merger Sub. Our opinion
does not address the underlying business decision of the Company
to engage in the Transaction. We were not requested to solicit,
and did not solicit, interest from other parties with respect to
an acquisition of, or other business combination with, the
Company. Our services and the opinion expressed herein are
provided for the information and assistance of the Board of
Directors of the Company in connection with its consideration of
the Transaction and such opinion does not constitute a
recommendation as to how any holder of Shares should vote with
respect to such Transaction.
B-1
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that,
as of the date hereof, the 0.43 share of Halo common stock to be
received by the holders of Shares pursuant to the terms
contained in the draft Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
March 9, 2006 is fair from a financial point of view to
such holders.
Yours truly,
/s/ Douglas Curtis & Allyn LLC

8 Del. C. § 262
8 Del. C. § 262 (2005)
§ 262. Appraisal rights
(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who
holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand
pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with
respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares
through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who
has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this
section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or
consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to

by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the
stockholders shares of stock under the circumstances

§ 254, § 257, § 258,
§ 263 or § 264 of this title:
|
|
|
(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this
section shall be available for the shares of any class or series
of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect
thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders
entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of
stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or
consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national
securities exchange or designated as a national market system
security on an interdealer quotation system by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or (ii) held of
record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no
appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of
the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did
not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the
surviving corporation as provided in subsection (f) of
§ 251 of this title. |
|
|
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this
subsection, appraisal rights under this section shall be
available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a
constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by
the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to
§§ 251, 252, 254, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this
title to accept for such stock anything except: |

receipts in respect thereof; |
|
|
b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository

|
|

D-1
|
|
|
(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware
corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 of
this title is not owned by the parent corporation immediately
prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the
shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation. |
(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of
incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be
available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as
a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation,
any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a
constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all
of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of
incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this
section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and
(e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is
practicable.
(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:
|
|
|
(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which
appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be
submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the
corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting,
shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record
date for such meeting with respect to shares for which appraisal
rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or
(c) hereof that appraisal rights are available for any or
all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall
include in such notice a copy of this section. Each stockholder
electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholders
shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of
the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for
appraisal of such stockholders shares. Such demand will be
sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the
identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends
thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholders
shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation
shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to
take such action must do so by a separate written demand as
herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of
such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting
corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent
corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not
voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of
the date that the merger or consolidation has become
effective; or |
|
|
(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to
§ 228 or § 253 of this title, then either a
constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger
or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation
within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders
of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation
who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the
merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available
for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such
constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy
of this section. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the
effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also
notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or
consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may,
within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice,
demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation
the appraisal of such holders shares. Such demand will be
sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the
identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends
thereby to demand the appraisal of such holders shares. If
such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of
the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such
constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the
effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of
the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent
corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the
effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the
surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second
notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such
effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is
sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first
notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder
who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded
appraisal of such holders shares in accordance with this
subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary
or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to
give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the
absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated
therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled
to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix,
in advance, a record date that shall be not more than
10 days prior to the date the notice is given, |
D-2
|
|
|
provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective
date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be
such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice
is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be
the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which
the notice is given. |
(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the
merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation
or any stockholder who has complied with subsections
(a) and (d) hereof and who is otherwise entitled to
appraisal rights, may file a petition in the Court of Chancery
demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such
stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within
60 days after the effective date of the merger or
consolidation, any stockholder shall have the right to withdraw
such stockholders demand for appraisal and to accept the
terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within
120 days after the effective date of the merger or
consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the
requirements of subsections (a) and (d) hereof, upon
written request, shall be entitled to receive from the
corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the
consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of
shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and
with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received
and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written
statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days
after such stockholders written request for such a
statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation
or within 10 days after expiration of the period for
delivery of demands for appraisal under
subsection (d) hereof, whichever is later.
(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder,
service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or
resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after
such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in
which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the
names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded
payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the
value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or
resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the
surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be
accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in
Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the
time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by
registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting
corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the
addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1
or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the
hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the
City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court
deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by
publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs
thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.
(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall
determine the stockholders who have complied with this section
and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may
require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for
their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to
submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery
for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal
proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such
direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such
stockholder.
(h) After determining the stockholders entitled to an
appraisal, the Court shall appraise the shares, determining
their fair value exclusive of any element of value arising from
the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or
consolidation, together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to
be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In
determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account
all relevant factors. In determining the fair rate of interest,
the Court may consider all relevant factors, including the rate
of interest which the surviving or resulting corporation would
have had to pay to borrow money during the pendency of the
proceeding. Upon application by the surviving or resulting
corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the
appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, permit
discovery or other pretrial proceedings and may proceed to trial
upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the
stockholder entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name
appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting
corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section
and who has submitted such stockholders certificates of
stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may
D-3
participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally
determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal
rights under this section.
(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of
the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or
resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto.
Interest may be simple or compound, as the Court may direct.
Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case
of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of
holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender
to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock.
The Courts decree may be enforced as other decrees in the
Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or
resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any
state.
(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the
Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in
the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court
may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any
stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees
and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata
against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.
(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or
consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights
as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be
entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive
payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except
dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of
record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the
merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition
for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in
subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder
shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a
written withdrawal of such stockholders demand for an
appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation,
either within 60 days after the effective date of the
merger or consolidation as provided in
subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the
written approval of the corporation, then the right of such
stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery
shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of
the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms
as the Court deems just.
(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to
which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been
converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall
have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the
surviving or resulting corporation.

Item 20. |
Indemnification of Directors and Officers |
Under Nevada law, a director or officer is not individually
liable to the corporation or its stockholders for any damages as
a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as
a director or officer unless it is proven that such act or
failure to act constituted a breach of fiduciary duties as a
director or officer; and the breach of those duties involved
intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.
Such provisions, however, will not eliminate a director or
officers liability to the corporation in the case of a
judgment of ouster rendered against a corporation on account of
the misconduct of the director or officer, a violation of Nevada
state securities laws, or certain other violations of law.
Under Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, a
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, except an action by or in
the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, against expenses, including attorneys fees,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with the action, suit or
proceeding, but only if such person did not breach his or her
fiduciary duties in a manner involving intentional misconduct,
fraud or a knowing violation of law, or acted in good faith and
in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A corporation
may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure
a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation against expenses, including amounts paid in
settlement and attorneys fees actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of the
action or suit if such person did not breach his or her
fiduciary duties in a manner involving intentional misconduct,
fraud or a knowing violation of law or acted in good faith and
in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
Nevada law further provides that indemnification may not be made
for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has
been adjudged to be liable to the corporation or for amounts
paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the
extent that the court determines the person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court
deems proper. Nevada law provides for mandatory indemnification
of a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation to
the extent that such person has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred
to in this paragraph against expenses, including attorneys
fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with
the defense.
Halos bylaws and articles of incorporation provide for
indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent
permitted by Nevada law. The Halo bylaws also provide for the
advancement of indemnified expenses.

Item 22. 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 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; |
II-9
|
|
|
(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.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to
requests for information that is incorporated by reference into
the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13
of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such
request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class
mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information
contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of
the registration statement through the date of responding to the
request.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means
of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a
transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein,
that was not the subject of and included in the registration
statement when it became effective.
