PRELIMINARY SUBJECT TO
COMPLETION DATED MAY 31, 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 ,
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
$ in value for
each share of Unify common stock. 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. If all such securities convert to common stock
approximately 23,041,951 shares of Halo common stock would
be issued as a result of such conversion. 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 would own
approximately 29% of the then outstanding Halo common stock
based upon 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 33 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.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER
The following are some questions that you, as a stockholder
of Unify, may have regarding the merger and the other matters
being considered at the special meeting and brief answers to
those questions. We urge you to read carefully the remainder of
this proxy statement/ prospectus, including the documents
attached to this proxy statement/ prospectus, because the
information in this section does not provide all the information
that might be important to you with respect to the merger and
the other matters being considered at the Unify special meeting.
Additional important information is also contained in the
annexes that are incorporated by reference in this proxy
statement/ prospectus.
|
|
|
Q: |
|
Why am I receiving this proxy statement/ prospectus? |
|
|
A: |
|
Unify and Halo have agreed to the acquisition of Unify by Halo
pursuant to the terms of a merger agreement that is described in
this proxy statement/ prospectus. A copy of the merger
agreement, as amended, is attached to this proxy statement/
prospectus as Annex A. In order to complete the merger,
Unify stockholders must approve and adopt the merger agreement
and the transactions contemplated thereby. This proxy statement/
prospectus contains important information about the merger, the
merger agreement and the special meeting, which you should read
carefully. The enclosed voting materials allow you to vote your
shares without attending the special meeting. Your vote is very
important. We encourage you to vote as soon as possible. Halo
stockholders are not required to vote to approve and adopt the
merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Halo
is not asking its stockholders for a proxy and Halo stockholders
are requested not to send us a proxy. |
|
|
Q: |
|
What is the purpose of this document? |
|
A: |
|
This document serves as both a proxy statement of Unify and a
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 49 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 33 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 58 and 61,
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: |
|
Will I receive any fractional shares of Halo common stock? |
|
|
|
A: |
|
No. In the event application of the exchange ratio to your
Unify shares would result in any fractional shares, you will
receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares in an amount equal
to the fair market value of such fractional shares as of the
closing date of the merger. |
|
|
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 33 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 85 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 85 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: |
|
When and where will the special meeting take place? |
|
A: |
|
The Unify special meeting is scheduled to take place
at a.m., local time,
on , ,
2006 at
the , , , . |
2
|
|
|
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. |
|
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 is the effect of abstentions or broker non-votes? |
|
|
|
A: |
|
If you or your broker or bank attends the meeting or returns a
proxy card but abstains from voting, or your broker or bank
returns a proxy card indicating your broker or bank has no
discretionary authority to vote the shares and has not been
provided with instructions from you (which is called a broker
non-vote), those shares will be counted for purposes of
determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting. However,
those shares will not be voted, and since adoption of the merger
agreement requires the affirmative vote of a majority of
Unifys outstanding shares, abstentions and broker
non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against adoption
of the merger agreement. |
|
|
|
Q: |
|
How can I receive my own copy of this proxy statement/
prospectus even though one has already been delivered to my
household? |
|
|
|
A: |
|
Some banks, brokers or nominees may participate in the practice
of householding, which means that only one copy of
this proxy statement/ prospectus may be sent to a household
where multiple stockholders reside. If you would like to receive
an additional copy of this proxy statement/ prospectus, Unify
will promptly deliver a separate copy of this proxy statement/
prospectus, including the attached Annexes, to you if you send a
written request to Unify Investor Relations, 2101 Arena
Boulevard, Suite 100, Sacramento, California 95834 or call
Unify Investor Relations at (916) 928-6400. |
|
|
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 79 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 |
3
|
|
|
|
|
(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 Unifys directors, Robert J. Majteles, has
an agreement with Special Situation Funds, a Unify investor that
may 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 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 81 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? |
|
A: |
|
If you have any questions about the merger, how to submit your
proxy or other matters discussed in this proxy statement/
prospectus or if you need additional copies of this proxy
statement/ prospectus or the enclosed proxy card, you should
contact Unify Investor Relations at (916) 928-6288. |

Halo is a holding company whose subsidiaries operate enterprise
software and information technology businesses. In addition to
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
include Gupta Technologies, LLC (Gupta), Warp
Solutions, Inc. (Warp Solutions), Kenosia
Corporation (Kenosia), DAVID Corporation
(DAVID), Process Software (Process),
ProfitKey International (ProfitKey) and Empagio,
Inc. (Empagio). Halo has merged former subsidiaries
Tesseract Corporation and Executive Consultants, Inc. into
Empagio.
Reasons for the Merger (see pages 58 and 61)
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 58 and 61,
respectively, of this proxy statement/ prospectus.
6
Potential Disadvantages concerning the Merger (see
pages 59 and 62)
The Halo board of directors 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 of the merger may
not be fully realized; |
|
|
|
|
|
the substantial costs of integrating the businesses of Halo and
Unify and the transaction expenses arising from the merger; |
|
|
|
|
|
the difficulty of integrating Unify with Halos existing
development tools and risk management operations and Halo
management efforts 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 33; 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. |
|
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 or
termination 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 92 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 91 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
certain factors outside of Unifys control; |
|
|
|
|
|
the transaction costs expected to be incurred in connection with
the merger; |
|
7
|
|
|
|
|
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 33 of this proxy statement/
prospectus. |
Structure of the Transaction (see page 54)
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 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 81 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 85 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 50)
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
8
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.
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 53)
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 may 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 64)
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 75)
Unify stockholders should be aware that members of Unifys
board of directors and management have interests in the merger
that are different from, or 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.
These are summarized below and described in the section
The Merger Interests of Certain Persons in the
Merger beginning on page 75 of this proxy statement/
prospectus.
9
Todd Wille, who is Unifys Chief Executive Officer and a
member of its Board of Directors, has an employment agreement
with Unify which would entitle Mr. Wille to severance
benefits if he is terminated from his employment following the
merger. However, it is a condition to closing of the merger that
Mr. Wille terminate this agreement and enter into a new
employment agreement with Halo. Under the new agreement,
Mr. Wille will receive substantially the same salary as he
is currently receiving from Unify and will be eligible to
receive such performance bonuses and stock options as may be
determined from time to time by the Halo Compensation Committee,
consistent with such bonuses or options as are provided at that
time to other similarly-situated senior managers at Halo. These
bonuses and options have not yet been determined.
Treehouse Capital, which is an affiliate of Robert J. Majteles
(a director of Unify), has an agreement with certain funds
associated with Special Situations Fund (which collectively have
a beneficial ownership of approximately 30% of Unify), pursuant
to which Treehouse Capital is entitled to receive 10% of the net
gain or net loss on the funds investment in Unify, subject
to certain offsets. This amount is not determined or paid on
closing of the merger but rather is calculated from time to time
under the agreement based on the value of the total portfolio of
the funds investments as to which Treehouse Capital
provides management or advisory services. In addition, it is
contemplated that funds associated with Special Situations Fund
may provide funding to Halo either prior to, at or upon
completion of the merger. In such event, it is possible that
Treehouse Capital may have a similar relationship with respect
to such an investment in Halo, although there can be no
assurance that such investment will be made or that Treehouse
Capital will have any rights to gain or loss with respect to any
such investment. Mr. Majteles is required to act
independently of Special Situations Fund in discharging his
fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Unify.
The merger agreement provides that any rights to indemnification
of Unifys officers and directors found in Unifys
certificate of incorporation and bylaws will continue following
closing of the merger. Further, Halo is required to purchase a
directors and officers insurance policy for the benefit of
Unifys current officers and directors for acts or
omissions occurring prior to closing of the merger.
Risk Factors (see page 33)
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
page 33 of this proxy statement/ prospectus for an
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; |
|
|
|
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 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; |
10
|
|
|
|
|
Halos relatively low trading volume may limit your ability
to sell your shares of Halo common stock received in 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; |
|
|
|
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; |
|
|
|
|
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; and |
|
|
|
|
|
Halo may not be able to successfully integrate all of its other
recent acquisitions with Unify. |
|

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

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

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 |

|
|
|
|
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

Fee and No Solicitation beginning
on pages 93 and 91, respectively, of this proxy
statement/ prospectus). |
Payment of Termination Fee (see page 93)

the merger agreement is terminated under specified circumstances.
12
No Solicitation of Transactions Involving Unify (see

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.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the
Merger (see page 79)
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 81)
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, exclusive of any element of value arising
from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, together
with a fair rate of interest, if any, 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. A proxy
which is signed and does not contain voting instructions, unless
revoked, will be voted in favor of the merger; 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 81 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.
13
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. A
stockholders failure to make the written demand prior to
the taking of the vote on the approval and adoption of the
merger agreement at the special meeting of stockholders will
constitute a waiver of appraisal rights.
Surrender of Unify Shares of Common Stock (see
page 86)
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 156)
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 156 of this
proxy statement/ prospectus.

Company at March 31, 2006.
(B) Reflects the historical financial position of Unify at
January 31, 2006.
(C) Pro forma adjustments for the conditions to be met

(D) Certain existing Halo convertible notes are to be
converted to Halos common stock. As of March 31,
2006, these notes amounted to $3,225,000 in principal, and
$93,333 in accrued interest. The total $3,318,333 is to be
converted at $1.25 per share, issuing 2,654,666 shares
of Halos common stock. The value of the common stock
issued is $3,318,333 at $1.20 per share market price as of
March 31, 2006. At the $.00001 par value, $27 is
recorded as common stock, and $3,318,306 is recorded as
additional paid in capital. One of these convertible notes were
originally issued with warrants, whose fair market value was
reduced from the principal. 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
$1,792,385 using the Black-Scholes method.
(E) 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. 13,362,688 shares
of Preferred Series C Stock (the liquidation value of
$13,362,688) and 7,045,454 shares of Preferred
Series D Stock (the liquidation value of $7,840,909) were
converted into the same number of shares of Halos common
stock. At the $.00001 par value, $204 ($134 for
Series C and $78 for Series D) is recorded as common
stock. $21,203,385 ($13,362,554 for Series C and $7,840,831
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 March 31, 2006,

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.

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF
OPERATIONS
(Unaudited)
(H) Reflects the Companys historical statement of
operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 and the
year ended June 30, 2005.
(I) Reflects Unifys historical statement of
operations for the nine 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 nine months ended March 31, 2006, Unifys results
were derived by combining the quarters ended January 31,
2006, October 31, 2005 and July 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.
(J) To record the increased amortization of deferred
compensation of $111,732 and $146,235 for the nine months ended
March 31, 2006 and for the year ended June 30, 2005,
respectively. These increases are the results of the conversion
of unvested Unify stock options.
(K) To record the increased amortization of intangibles of
$626,087 and $834,782 for the nine months ended March 31,
2006 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.
(L) To record the decreased interest expense of $349,679
and 0 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 and for the
year ended June 30, 2005, respectively. The decrease 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.
(M) The Company did not record an income tax benefit
because the company provided a full valuation allowance against
the deferred tax asset.
(N) 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 first fiscal
quarter of 2007, 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 March 31, 2006 and combines the unaudited
historical consolidated balance sheet of Halo and the unaudited
historical consolidated balance sheets of Unify as of
January 31, 2006 and InfoNow as of March 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 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 nine months
ended March 31, 2006 with the results of operations of
Unify for the nine months ended January 31, 2006 with
the results of operations of InfoNow for the nine months
ended March 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 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.

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET
(Unaudited)

Company at March 31, 2006.
Acquisition
(B) Reflects the historical financial position of Unify at
January 31, 2006.
(C) Pro forma adjustments for the conditions to be met
before closing this acquisition per the Merger Agreement.
(D) Certain existing Halo convertible notes are to be
converted to Halos common stock. As of March 31,
2006, these notes amounted to $3,225,000 in principal, and
$93,333 in accrued interest. The total $3,318,333 is to be
converted at $1.25 per share, issuing 2,654,666 shares of
Halos common stock. The value of the common stock issued
is $3,318,333 at $1.20 per share market price as of
March 31, 2006. At the $.00001 par value, $27 is recorded
as common stock, and $3,318,306 is recorded as additional paid
in capital. One of these convertible notes were originally
issued with warrants, whose fair market value was reduced from
the principal. 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 $1,792,385
using the Black-Scholes method.
(E) 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. 13,362,688 shares of
Preferred Series C Stock (the liquidation value of
$13,362,688) and 7,045,454 shares of Preferred Series D
Stock (the liquidation value of $7,840,909) were converted into
the same number of shares of Halos common stock. At the
$.00001 par value, $212 ($134 for Series C and $78 for
Series D) is recorded as common stock. $21,203,389
($13,362,554 for Series C and $7,840,831 for Series D)
is recorded as additional paid in capital.
(F) 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 March 31, 2006,
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 for the nine 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 nine
months ended March 31, 2006, Unifys results were
derived by combining the quarters, ended January 31, 2006,
October 31, 2005 and July 31 in its fiscal year ended
April 30, 2006. For the pro forma statements of operations
for the year ended June 30, 2005, Unifys results were

fiscal year ending April 30, 3006 and last three quarters
of its fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.
(N) To record the increased amortization of deferred
compensation of $111,732 and $146,235 for the nine months ended

$626,087 and $834,782 for the nine months ended March 31,
2006 and for the year ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

(O) To record decreased interest expense of $349,679 and 0
for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 and for the year
ended June 30, 2005, respectively. The decrease in 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.

were derived by combining the last two quarters ended
December 31, 2005 in its fiscal year ended
December 31, 2005 and the first quarter ended

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 91, 92, 93 and 38, 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; |
33
|
|
|
|
|
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 85 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
34
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
35
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 99, 138, 138 and 168,
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
36
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, which may result in the merger being less
advantageous to the Unify stockholders. |
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 contractual provision that requires Unify to pay a
termination fee could adversely affect its financial condition
and 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
Halos post merger revenues, ability to retain key
personnel, its stock price and operating results. |
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.
37
|
|
|
Halos and Unifys officers and directors have
interests different from the stockholders 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, Todd Wille, Chief Executive Officer of Unify, is
party to a Change of Control agreement which could
be triggered if Mr. Wille were terminated in connection
with the merger. It is a condition to the merger that
Mr. Wille and Halo enter into an employment agreement
pursuant to which Mr. Wille will receive an annual salary
similar to his salary at Unify and will be eligible to receive
performance bonuses and stock options as may be determined from
time to time by the Halo Compensation Committee.
Mr. Robert J. Matjeles, a director of Unify, is an
affiliate of Treehouse Capital, which has an agreement with
Special Situation Funds, the largest stockholder of Unify,
pursuant to which Treehouse, through Mr. Matjeles, provides
certain management and financial advisory services for Special
Situation Funds on request. As a result, Treehouse is entitled
to 10% of Special Situation Funds net gain (as defined) or
net loss (as defined) on its investment in Unify during the term
of the agreement, offset by certain fees that may be paid by
Unify to Treehouse or Mr. Matjeles directly.
Mr. Matjeles does not have or share voting or dispositive
power over any securities held by Special Situation Funds. It is
contemplated that Special Situation Funds may provide funding to
Halo either prior to, at or upon completion of the merger. In
such event, it is possible that Treehouse Capital may have a
similar relationship with respect to such an investment in Halo,
although there can be no assurance that such investment will be
made or that Treehouse Capital will have any rights to gain or
loss with respect to any such investment.

Business section are references to Halo.

|
|
We have a limited operating history which may make it
difficult to predict future results of operations. |
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 in order to
continue operations. |
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
March 31, 2006, Halo had an accumulated deficit of
approximately $76.3 million and a working capital deficit of
$21.8 million.
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
38
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 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, which in turn could
impair our ability to carry out our business plan. |
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 Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants usual
and customary for facilities and transactions of this type. The
Company is currently in compliance with these financial
covenants. The Company anticipates that due to recent
transactions, as well as the InfoNow and Unify acquisitions,
certain of the covenants under the Credit Agreement may have to
be modified in order for the Company to continue to comply for
future periods. The Company has engaged in discussions with the
Fortress Agent, and anticipates negotiating appropriate
modifications to the covenants to reflect these changes in the
Companys business as they occur. In the event the Company
completes further acquisitions, the Company and the other
parties to the Credit Agreement will be required to agree upon
modifications to
39
the financial covenants to reflect the changes to the
Companys consolidated assets, liabilities, and expected
results of operations in amounts to be mutually agreed to by the
parties. There can be no assurance that any such modifications
will be agreed upon. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides
that in the event of certain changes of control, including
(i) a reduction in the equity ownership in the Company of
Ron Bienvenu or his immediate family members below 90% of such
equity interests on the date of the Credit Agreement, or
(ii) Ron Bienvenu ceases to perform his current management
functions and is not replaced within 90 days by a person
satisfactory to Fortress, all amounts due may be declared
immediately due and payable. The Credit Agreement contains
specific events of default, including failure to make a payment,
the breach of certain representations and warranties, and
insolvency events. There is also a cross-default
provision that provides that certain events of default under
certain contracts between the Company or its subsidiaries and
third parties will constitute an event of default under the
Credit Agreement.
The Fortress Lenders 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.

|
|
A failure to adapt to rapidly changing markets and develop
new technologies could harm our business. |
The markets for our products are characterized by:
|
|
|
|
|
rapidly changing technologies; |
|
|
|
evolving and competing industry standards; |
|
|
|
changing customer needs; |
|
|
|
frequent new product introductions and enhancements; |
|
|
|
increased integration with other functions; and |
|
|
|
rapid product obsolescence. |
To develop new products for our target markets, we must develop,
gain access to and use leading technologies in a cost-effective
and timely manner and continue to expand our technical and
design expertise. In addition, we must maintain close working
relationships with key customers and potential customers in
order to develop new products that meet their changing needs. A
failure to develop new technologies and adapt to changing
technologies could affect our ability to remain competitive.
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.
|
|
|
Failure to timely develop new products which achieve
market acceptance could interfere with Halos customer
relationships and adversely affect Halos business,
financial condition and results of operations. |
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.
40
|
|
|
A failure by us to manage our growth and expansion could
have a material adverse effect on our business. |
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 do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future which could reduce the liquidity of your
investment. |
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.
|
|
|
Our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors
may divert funds from our business operations. |
Our Articles of Incorporation provide for the indemnification of
our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by
the laws of the State of Nevada and the federal securities laws.
It is possible that the indemnification obligations imposed
under these provisions could result in a charge against our
earnings and thereby affect the availability of funds for other
uses.
|
|
|
Our 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 stock 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 3a51-1,
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.
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
41
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.
|
|
|
Failure to manage the risks associated with our growth and
acquisition strategy could have a material adverse effect on
Halos operations and financial condition. |
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 be required to recognize impairment charges. |
Goodwill and intangible assets account for approximately
$55.8 million or 86% of Halos assets as of
March 31, 2006. We are required to perform impairment tests
on our identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives,
including goodwill, annually or at any time when certain events
occur, which could impact the value of our business. Our
determination of whether impairment has occurred is based on a
comparison of the assets fair market values with the
assets carrying values. Significant and unanticipated
changes could require a provision for impairment that could
substantially affect our reported earnings in a period of such
change.
Additionally, we are required to recognize an impairment loss
when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of
long-lived tangible and intangible assets with finite lives may
not be recoverable.
42
Managements policy in determining whether an impairment
indicator exists, (a triggering event), comprises measurable
operating performance criteria as well as qualitative measures.
If a determination is made that a long-lived assets
carrying value is not recoverable over its estimated useful
life, the asset is written down to estimated fair value, if
lower. The determination of fair value of long-lived assets is
generally based on estimated expected discounted future cash
flows, which is generally measured by discounting expected
future cash flows identifiable with the long-lived asset at our
weighted-average cost of capital. For the nine months ended
March 31, 2006, Halo did not have any impairment charges.
|
|
|
Failure to finance future acquisitions could limit our
ability to implement our business plan. |
We seek to use shares of our common stock to finance a portion
of the consideration for acquisitions. If our common stock does
not maintain a sufficient market value or the owners of
businesses we may seek to acquire are otherwise unwilling to
accept shares of common stock as part of the consideration for
the sale of their businesses, we may be required to use more of
our cash resources in order to implement our acquisition
strategy. If we have insufficient cash resources, our ability to
pursue acquisitions could be limited unless we are able to
obtain additional funds through debt or equity financing. Our
ability to obtain debt financing may be constrained by existing
or future loan covenants, the satisfaction of which may be
dependent upon our ability to raise additional equity capital
through either offerings for cash or the issuance of stock as
consideration for acquisitions. We cannot assure you that our
cash resources will be sufficient, or that other financing will
be available on terms we find acceptable. If we are unable to
obtain sufficient financing, we may be unable to implement fully
our acquisition strategy.

throughout this Additional Risk Factors Related to the
Business of Halos Operating Subsidiaries section are

|
|
|
Financial results may vary significantly from quarter to
quarter which could affect our ability to sustain our
operations. |
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; |
|
|

|
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 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 which can affect
our periodic results. |
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. A lack of brand awareness
could adversely affect Halos sales. |
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.
44
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. |
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 product line
expansion which could affect its future operations. |
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. The
failure to integrate new products with Halos existing
operations could materially affect our business.
|
|
|
A small number of distributors account for a
significant percentage of Halos billings. The loss of one
or more of such distributors could have a material adverse
impact on Halos business. |
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
(five) have accounted for a significant percentage (37% in the
year ended June 30, 2005) of Halos revenues. The five
significant distributors are ADN Distribution, GmbH, Scientific
Computers, NOCOM AB, Sphinx CST, and Xtura B.V. 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. A failure to
grow its indirect sales or the loss of indirect channel partners
could have an adverse effect on our business. |
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
45
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; |
|
|
|
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 the strategic
relationships necessary to succeed in its operations. |
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.
|
|
|
The failure of Halo to maintain or obtain third-party
software licenses could harm our business, operating results and
financial condition. |
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.
|
|
|
Halo may become subject to product or professional
services liability claims which could divert a significant
amount of our revenues from operations. |
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. Our business may be harmed if
Microsofts technology becomes more directly competitive
with Halo. |
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
46
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.
|
|
|
A failure to remain competitive in our industry could have
a material adverse effect on our sales. |
Halo, through its operating subsidiaries, 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.
47
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.
|
|
|
Halos dependence on international sales and
operations subjects it to risks associated with foreign laws,
staffing and currency. |
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, including its German
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; |
48
|
|
|
|
|
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; |
|
|
|
|
foreign protectionist laws and business practices that favor
local competition; |
|
|
|
|
|
failure of local laws to provide the same degree of protection
against infringement of our intellectual property; |
|
|
|
|
quality control of certain development, translation or
localization activities; and |
|
|
|
political and economic instability. |
We may not be successful in developing and implementing policies
and strategies to address the foregoing factors in a timely and
effective manner in each country where we do business.
Consequently, the occurrence of one or more of the foregoing
factors could have a material adverse effect on our
international operations or upon our financial condition and
results of operations. In addition, because a significant amount
of our revenues are derived from sales in Germany, the factors
adversely affecting Germany and its region could have an
especially material impact on our operations.
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 reduce our revenues or increase our costs. |
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.

THE SPECIAL MEETING OF UNIFY STOCKHOLDERS
Unify is furnishing this proxy statement/ prospectus to
Unifys stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies
for use at the Unify special meeting of stockholders, including
any adjournment or postponement of the meeting.
Date, Time and Place of the Special Meeting
The special meeting of Unify stockholders is scheduled to be
held
on , ,
2006 at a.m. local time
at .
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.
50
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 own approximately
33% of the voting shares of Unify common stock as of the record
date have agreed to vote their shares FOR adoption
of the merger agreement.
51
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
incur any costs beyond those customarily expended for a
solicitation of proxies in connection with a merger agreement.
Directors, officers and employees of Halo and Unify will not
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.
Householding
Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be
participating in the practice of householding proxy
statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of
this proxy statement/ prospectus may have been sent to multiple
stockholders in your household. Unify will promptly deliver a
separate copy of this proxy statement/ prospectus, including the
attached Annexes to you if you write to Unify Investor
Relations, 2101 Arena Boulevard, Suite 100, Sacramento,
California 95834, Attention: Investor Relations or call
(916) 928-6400. If you wish to receive separate copies of
an annual report or proxy statement in the future, or if you are
receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one
copy for your household, you should contact your bank, broker or
other nominee record holder, or you may contact Unify, as

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 from a focus on
development tools 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
previous 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 announced that it had 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. Prior to this contact by
Mr. Wille, there was no relationship between Unify and Halo
or any of their affiliates, including the Halo subsidiaries.
54
On September 26, 2005, Ron Bienvenu, Halos Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer, forwarded a nondisclosure agreement
to Mr. Wille so that Mr. Bienvenu and Mr. Wille
could begin a dialog regarding a possible acquisition of DAVID
Corporation by Unify. This nondisclosure agreement was executed
and returned by Mr. Wille on September 28, 2005.
On October 3, 2005, Mr. Bienvenu informed
Mr. Wille that Halo was not interested in selling DAVID
Corporation, 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, of generally valuing companies between 3.5 and
5 times EBITDA, and its general valuation of Unify, but no
understanding was reached regarding a purchase price or other
terms.
During October and the first half of November of 2005, Unify did
not have any substantive discussions with Halo and continued to
pursue its business plan of growing the IRM division through
internal growth and potential acquisitions by Unify of claims
administration vendors. During this period, Unify had informal
discussions with over fifteen claims administration vendors that
were potential acquisition targets for Unify. Unify had follow
on discussions and on-site visits with three companies. However,
none of these discussions or visits prompted any offers or term
sheets from either Unify or the potential acquisition target.
Then, as Unifys second quarter (October 31) financial
results became apparent to Unify management and were eventually
announced, management believed the quarter and year-to-date
losses and deteriorating balance sheet would make it
increasingly difficult to generate interest by a seller in being
acquired by Unify. The primary consideration for an acquisition
would have been Unifys common stock, which management
believed was not likely to be an attractive instrument to a
seller at that time. Furthermore, management believed that the
dilutive effect of doing a stock-based acquisition at that time
would have outweighed any benefit to Unifys stockholders
of any such 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. The board had lengthy discussions regarding the
potential need for additional financing and the anticipated
difficulty of finding funding sources given Unifys
performance to date. The board 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 Board, among other things, of his discussions with Halo and
other potential strategic alternatives. The Board instructed
Mr. Wille to resume discussions with Halo exploring a
possible business combination or other strategic relationship
and to explore possible transactions with other parties.
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 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, including an
in person meeting in the Tesseract office in San Francisco on
December 12, 2005, attended by Mr. Wille,
Mr. Jeff Bailey, CEO of Halos subsidiary Gupta
Technologies, Mr. Bienvenu, Richard Bigelow, then CEO of
Halos Tesseract subsidiary and Charles Stevenson, Chief
Technology Officer of Halo. The purpose of this meeting was to
discuss each partys business and explore how they would
fit together. Prior to this
55
meeting, Mr. Wille provided some preliminary business and
financial information regarding Unify to Mr. Bienvenu.
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 21, 2006, Mr. Bienvenu and Mr. Wille
had a telephonic meeting at which valuation was discussed. After
that call Mr. Wille sent Mr. Bienvenu, via email, his
analysis of the synergies of Unify/Gupta together. In the course
of this conversation, Mr. Wille indicated to
Mr. Bienvenu that he thought Unifys board would
consider accepting a $20.0 million all stock deal assuming
the other terms and conditions were acceptable.
On January 26, 2006, there was another telephonic meeting
among Mr. Bienvenu, Mr. Wille and Mr. Jude
Sullivan, Director of Mergers and Acquisitions and Business
Development for Halo, during which Mr. Sullivan discussed
Halos belief that Unify was really worth
$12.7 million as a stand-alone company, but that he
believed they could find cost savings to drive up that value.
On January 27, 2006, Mr. Bienvenu called
Mr. Wille and confirmed that Halo was indeed interested in
acquiring Unify and Mr. Sullivan forwarded Mr. Wille a
proposed summary of terms that suggested Halo would be amenable
to an all stock deal with Unify valued at $18.5 million,
the increased price due to Halos analysis of the cost
savings and synergies anticipated from combining Unifys
business with the businesses of Halos Gupta and DAVID
subsidiaries. After multiple discussions between Mr. Wille
and Mr. Sullivan (regarding additional value Unify would
bring to the combined entity that Halo had not factored into the
$18.5 million proposal) on February 3, 2006 Unify
received from Halo an updated summary of proposed terms, which
included a purchase price of $19.4 million in Halo stock
and assumption of in the money outstanding Unify
options. Unify circulated and discussed the proposal with
representatives of its legal counsel, DLA Piper Rudnick Gray
Cary US LLP (DLA Piper), as well as informally with each member
of the Unify board.
From February 3, 2006 to February 17, 2006,
Mr. Bienvenu, Mr. Sullivan, and Mr. Wille
conducted several further discussions regarding the proposed
deal structure, exchange rate methodologies and Unifys
valuation. A tax free stock-for-stock transaction was preferred
to avoid taxation for the Unify stockholders and to effectively
move their investment from Unify to Halo where they could
continue to benefit from any potential increase in shareholder
value of Halo. Both parties agreed that the current stock prices
were not necessarily reflective of each constituent
companys true value. Therefore, both parties looked at the
relative values for Unify and Halos underlying businesses
and calculated what they believed to be a reasonable Unify
stockholder ownership post-merger based on Unifys
contribution to total revenues, cash flows and growth potential.
The Unify valuation was calculated using a combination of
several methodologies including revenue and cash flow multiples,
general market comparables, discounted cash flow analysis, and
the valuation from Unifys April 2004 PIPE financing. Due
to the financial sophistication and experience of the parties
and the understanding that a fairness opinion would be obtained
by Unifys Board, no third party financial appraisals were
used in determining the purchase price.
On February 7, 2006, Mr. Bienvenu and
Mr. Sullivan 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. On February 7, 2006 after this meeting, Halo
provided Unify an updated summary of proposed terms which
included a purchase price of $20.6 million in Halo stock
and the assumption of outstanding Unify warrants and options.
On February 8, Mr. Wille informed Halo that
representatives of Special Situations Funds (SSF), Unifys
largest stockholder, would like to meet with Halo to discuss the
Halo business and the Unify
56
transaction. 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 SSF 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 possible
funding commitment from SSF for an equity investment into Halo.
Details on the proposal to acquire Unify were not discussed
during these later meetings.
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. 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. 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 from Halo an updated
summary of proposed terms which included a purchase price of
$21 million in Halo stock and the assumption of outstanding
Unify warrants and options. 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 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 Halo lender and
board approval.
On February 28, 2006, Unifys board of directors held
a special 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
respective legal advisors had extensive negotiations in meetings
and conversations regarding the terms of the draft merger
agreement including, among others, representations, warranties
and covenants, closing conditions and final disclosure schedules.
On March 3, 2006, Unifys board of directors held a
special 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.
57
On March 6 and 7, 2006, Mr. Wille of Unify met with certain
members of Halos senior management, including
Mr. Bienvenu, Mr. Sullivan, Ernest Mysogland
(Halos Chief Legal Officer), Mr. Finkel, Brian
McDonald (CEO of Halos Process Software subsidiary),
Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Bailey. 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 (including those discussed
herein under Liquidity and Capital Resources; Working
Capital Requirements) 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. The board discussed in detail
the risks and benefits of a fixed exchange ratio versus a
floating ratio or a combination of the two with a cap and a
collar. 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 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 64 of this proxy
statement/prospectus). After deliberation, Unifys board of
directors unanimously 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. The Unify
board of directors then unanimously approved the merger
agreement and resolved to recommend to Unify stockholders
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.
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, Mr. Bienvenu and Mr. Wille
negotiated a slight increase to the exchange ratio resulting in
a valuation at the time the merger agreement was executed of
$20.25 million, based upon the number of outstanding shares
of Unify as of that date without regard to shares to be issued
in exchange for outstanding warrants or options. 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.
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.
58
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; |
|
|
|
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; |
59
|
|
|
|
|
|
certain risks applicable to the merger and the business of the
combined company as set forth under Risk Factors
beginning on page 33; 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.
Halo also considered not pursuing the transaction, and instead
focusing on the growth of its existing products and services.
Halo determined that the merger would provide a means of
enhancing the sales and marketing of certain of its existing
product offerings, specifically those of its Gupta and DAVID
subsidiaries. In the enterprise software industry generally,
customers do not frequently change the software used in critical
business applications due to the cost incurred with the removal
of existing software and the implementation of new software, as
well as the effort and expense involved in training personnel to
use new software. Customers for many software providers,
including those of Halo and its subsidiaries, tend to renew
their existing software licenses year after year. Due to this
general industry maturity, attracting customers which had been
using competitors software, is often difficult and costly.
Halo determined that combining the operations of its Gupta and
DAVID subsidiaries with the complementary products offered by
Unify would allow them to maintain their market share, and
introduce them to new sales opportunities, while also offering
synergies leading to reduced costs by sharing research and
development, sales and marketing, and administrative functions.
The alternatives continuing with the existing
business plan of Gupta and DAVID without attempting to compete
with Unify, or developing new products and then implementing
sales and marketing efforts in competition with
Unify were determined to be less attractive because
they offered less revenue growth potential and increased costs
than pursuing a combination with Unify. As discussed in the
Background of the Merger section above, Halo and Unify also
discussed Unify acquiring Halos DAVID subsidiary. After
Halo investigated the businesses of Unify, it determined that a
more desirable transaction would be the merger, due to the
synergies between not only the Halos DAVID subsidiary with
Unifys Insurance Risk Management division, but also the
synergies of combining Halos Gupta subsidiary and
Unifys Business Solutions division.
Halo anticipates an increase in revenues as a result of the
consummation of the acquisitions of Unify and InfoNow. Halo
anticipates that the acquired companies revenues will not
significantly change from those reported in prior periods, so
that the increase in the Halos revenues will be of a
similar magnitude to these prior period results. Halo intends to
effect cost savings where duplicative expenses exist. Thus, Halo
anticipates an increase in income before taxes as a result of
the consummation of the two acquisitions. The extent of these
savings will be determined post-acquisition. Additionally, it is
anticipated that Halos cash position will be enhanced by
these acquisitions, as a result of cash being carried over from
the Unify closing. Furthermore, Halo anticipates raising
$2 million in equity financing on or before the time of the
consummation of the merger with Unify, such financing being a
condition to closing the transaction.
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.
60
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 64 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 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 54 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; |
61
|
|
|
|
|
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 89 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 91 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 91 of this proxy statement/prospectus); |
|
|
|
|
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 58 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 92 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 |
62
|
|
|
|
|
|
interested in pursuing an alternative business combination
transaction (see the section entitled The Merger
Agreement No Solicitation beginning on
page 91 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 33 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 75 of this proxy
statement/prospectus), which the Unifys board of directors
considered as being neutral in its evaluation of the proposed
transaction.
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 49 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 75 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. The Unify board of directors selected DCA based on its
knowledge of DCAs qualifications, expertise and
reputation, and DCAs prior knowledge of the business and
affairs of Unify. DCA was instructed to deliver its opinion on
the fairness of the consideration to Unifys stockholders
from a financial point of view and not to address the underlying
business decision of Unify to engage in the merger or any other
aspect of the merger. Other than the foregoing, there were no
limitations placed by Unify on the scope of DCAs
investigation. 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 opinion is summarized below. 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 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.
64
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:
|
|
|
|
|
a draft of the merger agreement dated March 9, 2006,
together with certain of the exhibits and schedules thereto; |
|
|
|
historical and projected earnings, other operating data and
other historical financial information of Unify and Halo; |
|
|
|
Unifys and Halos quarterly reports on Form 10-Q
or Form 10-QSB, as the case may be, and annual reports on
Form 10-K or Form 10-KSB, as the case may be, and a
draft of Unifys quarterly report on
Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended January 31, 2006; |
|
|
|

the views of the senior managements of Unify and Halo regarding
the business, financial condition, and results of operations and
prospects of their respective companies; |
|
|
|
publicly-available financial terms of certain recent business
combinations in the software industry; and |
|
|
|
such other information, financial studies, analyses,
investigations and financial criteria as DCA considered relevant. |
In rendering its opinion, DCA, with the permission of the Board
of Unify, relied upon the following assumptions:
|
|
|
(i) the accuracy and completeness of all the financial,
accounting, legal, tax and other information discussed with or
reviewed by DCA; |
|
|
(ii) the internal financial forecasts prepared by the
management of Unify and Halo have been reasonably prepared on a
basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and
judgments of Unify and Halo and that such forecasts will be
realized in the amounts and time periods contemplated thereby; |
|
|
(iii) All representations and warranties contained in the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, including the disclosure schedules
attached thereto, are true and correct; |
|
|
(iv) All representations made and information provided by,
as well as interviews conducted with, the management of Unify
and Halo are true and correct and contain no omissions of
material facts or information; |

|
(v) Each party will perform all of the covenants required
by the Agreement and Plan of Merger; |
65
|
|
|
(vi) Conditions precedent to the merger have not been
waived; |
|
|
(vii) There are no material changes in Unifys or
Halos assets, financial condition, results of operations,
business or prospects; |
|
|
(viii) There are no material changes to the Agreement and
Plan of Merger, including exhibits and schedules thereto, from
the draft version as of March 9, 2006 provided to DCA prior
to DCA issuing its opinion as of March 10, 2006; |
|
|
(ix) Unifys and Halos technology, intellectual
property rights and source code are adequate and capable of
being used for the purpose intended and will continue to produce
the revenues forecast by management on a pro forma basis for the
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
paid, retired or converted into Halo common stock prior to close; |
|
|
(xii) Sufficient liquidity will exist in Halo shares to
prevent share price erosion resulting from increased trading
volume; |
|
|
(xiii) The acquisition of InfoNow by Halo has not closed by
the time this transaction closes and the effect thereof has not
been considered in DCAs fairness opinion analysis; and |
|
|
(xiv) Performance by the parties of all conditions
precedent to effect the Merger including (among other
obligations): |
|
|
|
a. the required registration statement shall have been
declared effective |
|
|
b. certain Unify stockholder agreements shall have been
executed |
|
|
|
|
c. |
receipt by Halo of at least $2,000,000 in new equity investment
on terms described to DCA prior to the effective time of the
Merger |
|
|
|
d. conversion of each share of all classes of Halo
preferred stock into common stock, and |
|
|
e. execution of mutually acceptable employment agreements
with certain Unify employees. |
DCA performed a variety of financial analyses in preparing the
opinion. The following is a summary of the material analyses
performed by DCA. 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
66
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; |
|
|
|
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
67
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. The control premiums applied in DCAs
analysis were derived from the median of control premiums
offered in 2004 in the Computer Software, Supplies and Services
industry as published by FactSet Mergerstat LLC in 2005. In
total there were 86 transactions documented by Mergerstat in the
Computer Software, Supplies and Services industry in 2004, all
of which were included in the determination of the 2004 29.8%
control premium used by DCA. The data from 2004 was the most
recent that Mergerstat had compiled in its annually published
Mergerstat Review as of the date of DCAs fairness
opinion.
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 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 the five companies within the initial
group with the most similar operating statistics to relevant
Unify operating statistics, including total enterprise value,
market capitalization, last twelve month revenue, gross margin,
EBITDA margin, EBIT margin and net income margin, estimated long
term growth rate, and one-, two- and three-year total revenue
growth; |
|
|
|
|
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. |
68
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. 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
69
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 the five companies within the initial
group with the most similarities to relevant Unify operating
statistics, including total enterprise value, market
capitalization, last twelve month revenue, gross margin, EBITDA
margin, EBIT margin and net income margin, estimated long term
growth rate, and one-, two- and three-year total revenue growth; |
|
|
|
|
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.
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. |
70
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 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.
71
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.
In April of 2003, Unify engaged DCA on a monthly retainer to
provide various financial advisory and consulting services
including assessing strategic alternatives, pursuing strategic
acquisitions and eventually raising capital in April 2004 with
Special Situations Funds. Subsequent to April 2004, DCA did not
provide any services to Unify until February 2006, when Unify
engaged DCA to provide the fairness opinion.
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.
Certain Projections
Neither Halo nor Unify, as a matter of course, publicly
discloses detailed forecasts or internal projections as to
future revenues, earnings or financial condition. However, in
the course of their discussions with each other, each provided
the other and DCA with certain business and financial
information. Certain information described below, which Halo and
Unify believes was not publicly available, was provided to DCA
in connection with its preparation of its fairness opinion
regarding the potential merger between Halo and Unify.

financing methods and capital structure. EBITDA excludes some
items that affect

Unifys fiscal year ends on April 30 of each year
presented. |
While such projections were prepared in good faith by Halo and
Unify, no assurance can be made regarding future events.
Therefore, such projections cannot be considered a reliable
predictor of future operating results, and this information
should not be relied on as such.
Halo made a number of assumptions in preparing its projections
including continued and future performance of its subsidiaries,
Gupta, Kenosia, Empagio/Tesseract, DAVID, Process and Profitkey.
Halo assumed that maintenance revenues from its subsidiaries
would continue at the historical renewal rate or better during
the periods presented. Halo also assumed, after an analysis of
the sales pipeline and capacity, that software license revenues,
and professional services revenues, would continue at the
subsidiaries at least at historical rates, with some modest
additional growth. Accordingly, Halo assumed that with these
acquisitions and growth Halo would be able to increase revenues
by approximately 415% for its 2006 fiscal year and 55% for its
2007 fiscal year. Halos expenses were projected based upon
the current run rate adjusted for expected changes over time.
Thus, existing positions were modified for the expected needs of
73
the business, based upon the projected revenues. Salaries and
benefits were adjusted for expected changes in costs of living.
Expenses that generally vary with headcount, such as rent and
telecommunications expenses, were projected based on projected
headcount. Expenses other than headcount-related ones, such as
third-party marketing expenses, were projected based upon the
projected revenues of the respective subsidiary business.
Capital expenditures projections, for cash flow purposes, were
based upon an assessment of the state of current equipment and
the timing of the need to replace it, as well as the need to
purchase equipment to support the level of projected revenues
and headcount. Based on these assumptions, Halo assumed its cost
of revenues and operating expenses to decline to approximately
83% of fiscal 2005 cost of revenues and operating expenses for
fiscal year 2006 and further improve to 76% of fiscal 2005 cost
of revenues and operating expenses for fiscal 2007. Halo
projected these improvement in its forecast because of expected
cost savings related to elimination of duplicate costs and
synergies with its past acquisitions.
In addition, a number of assumptions were made in preparing the
Unify forecasts including, but not limited to, assumptions
regarding Unifys ability to increase total revenue by 7%
in both fiscal year 2006 and fiscal year 2007 compared to each
of the previous years, relatively stable overall average selling
prices, successful introduction of products, a 23% reduction in
expenses in fiscal year 2006 and a 4% reduction in expenses in
FY2007, the ability of Unify to execute to its plan without
error and the existence of stable economic conditions in the key
markets in which Unify sells its products. Furthermore, Unify
prepared these projections on the same basis as audited
financial statements, except that SFAS 123R was not taken
into consideration, the effect of which would be to recognize
additional compensation expense and reduce projected income
after taxes.
The estimates and assumptions underlying the Halo and Unify
projections involve judgments with respect to, among other
things, future economic, competitive, regulatory and financial
market conditions and future business decisions which may not be
realized and are inherently subject to significant business,
economic, competitive and regulatory uncertainties, all of which
are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the
control of Halo and Unify. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that the projected results would be realized or that
actual results would not differ materially from those presented
in the projections, and the estimates and assumptions underlying
the projections, do not reflect any potential impact from the
announcement or pendency of the proposed merger on Halo or
Unifys operations, financial results or financial
condition. These estimates, assumptions and projections are
subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual
results to differ materially from these projections.
The information in this section was not prepared with a view
toward public disclosure or with a view toward complying with
the guidelines established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants or by the Securities and Exchange
Commission regarding the preparation and presentation of
projections or forecasts, or U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. In the view of each of Halo and
Unifys management, the information was prepared on a
reasonable basis, reflects their best estimates and judgments at
the time, and presents, to the best of Halo and Unifys
knowledge and belief, the then expected course of action and
future financial performance of Halo and/or Unify. However, this
information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being
necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this
proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on this information. Neither Unify nor Halos
management or board of directors relied on these projections for
purposes of their evaluation of the potential merits and risks
of the merger, and DCA did not rely solely on these projections
for purposes of its fairness opinion rendered in connection with
the merger.
These projections are not included in this proxy
statement/prospectus in order to induce any stockholder to vote
in favor of adoption of the merger agreement and are being
included herein to disclose the financial information provided
to DCA in connection with the preparation of its fairness
opinion.
The projections reflected herein were presented to DCA on
March 8, 2006 with respect to Halo and March 2, 2006
with respect to Unify. Since the date that the Unify projections
were provided to Halo and DCA, and since the date that the Halo
projections were provided to Unify and DCA, assumptions
underlying such projections have changed. Therefore, if Halo or
Unify were to prepare projections currently, such projections
would be different from the projections provided earlier. Such
assumptions will
74
continue to change in the future. Neither Halo nor Unify intends
to update or otherwise revise the projections to reflect any
circumstances occurring since their preparation or to reflect
the occurrence of unanticipated events, even in the event that
any or all of the underlying assumptions are shown to be in
error. Furthermore, neither Halo nor Unify intends to update or
revise the projections to reflect changes in general economic or
industry conditions. There can be no assurance that these
projections are accurate as of the date of this proxy
statement/prospectus.
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 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 156 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 members of Unifys
board of directors and management have interests in the merger
that are different from, or 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 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:
|
|
|
Todd Wille Employment Agreement |
Unify currently has an employment agreement with Mr. Wille,
its Chief Executive Officer and a director. 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
75
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 is entitled to 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 however that Halo
and Mr. Wille terminate the employment agreement described
above and enter into a new employment agreement under which
Mr. Wille will be employed by Halo as the general 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 to increase at the discretion of the Halo
board, and will be eligible to receive such performance bonuses
and stock options as may be determined from time to time by the
Halo Compensation Committee, consistent with such bonuses or
options as are provided at that time to other similarly-situated
senior managers at Halo.
While Halo does not have an established bonus plan for the
managers of its operating businesses, it is anticipated that the
terms and conditions of Mr. Willes bonuses will
require meeting earnings and profitability goals for the
businesses over which he will be responsible. If all such goals
are met, it is anticipated that the amount of such bonus would
be approximately equivalent to Mr. Willes base
salary, such amount to be payable in cash, options or other
equity securities of Halo, or a combination of both cash and
equity. These bonuses and options have not yet been determined.
If Mr. Wille is terminated prior to the end of the two-year
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.
|
|
|
Treehouse Capital Agreement |
In April 2004, certain funds associated with Special Situations
Fund (SSF) purchased from Unify 5,633,900 shares of
its common stock in a private placement. Pursuant to a right
granted thereunder to SSF, Robert J. Matjeles was appointed to
Unifys Board of Directors. SSF and its related funds
currently have a beneficial ownership of approximately 30% of
Unify. Mr. Majteles is the founder of Treehouse Capital,
which has an agreement with SSF pursuant to which Treehouse,
through Mr. Majteles, provides certain management and
financial advisory services for SSF on request. If
Mr. Majteless services are requested by SSF with
respect to a particular portfolio investment (such as Unify),
Treehouse is entitled to 10% of SSFs 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
(such as director fees). The amount of gain or loss with respect
to the Unify investment is not determined or paid on closing of
the merger but rather is calculated from time to time under the
agreement based on the value of the total portfolio of SSF
investments as to which Treehouse Capital provides management or
advisory services. Under the agreement, Mr. Majteles is
required to act independently of SSF in discharging his
fiduciary duties to the stockholders of any company for which he
serves as a member of the board of directors, including Unify,
and also is obligated 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 SSF.
In addition, it is contemplated that SSF may provide funding to
Halo either prior to, at or upon completion of the merger. In
such event, it is possible that Treehouse Capital may have a
similar relationship with respect to such an investment in Halo,
although there can be no assurance that such investment will be
made or that Treehouse Capital will have any rights to gain or
loss with respect to any such investment.
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 five-year directors and officers
tail insurance policy for the benefit of
Unifys directors and officers covering them for acts or
omissions occurring prior to closing of the merger.
76
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 85 of this proxy
statement/prospectus.
Stockholder Agreement
Special Situations Funds, consisting of Special Situations
Fund III, L.P., Special Situations Cayman Fund L.P.,
Special Situations Private Equity Fund, L.P. and Special
Situations Tech. Fund, L.P. (collectively, Special
Situations Funds) and Diker Management, LLC, affiliates of
Unify, who beneficially own approximately 21% and 12%,
respectively, 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 91 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. |
|
Robert J. Majteles is a director of Unify and the founder of
Treehouse Capital. 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 approximately 30% 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. See
Interests of Certain Persons in the
Merger beginning on page 75.
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
77
policy, except that Unify will not be obligated to purchase
directors and officers liability insurance with a
premium of more than $200,000.
Unify Common Stock Ownership
The following table and notes set forth as of March 23,
2006, the number of shares of Unifys outstanding common
stock beneficially owned by (i) beneficial owners of 5% or
more of Unifys common stock; (ii) the named executive
officers of Unify, (iii) each director and nominee for
director of Unify, and (iv) all named executive officers
and directors of Unify as a group. All information is taken from
or based upon ownership filings made by such persons with the
SEC or upon information provided by such persons to Unify, and
the percentages are based upon 29,523,608 shares of common
stock outstanding on March 23, 2006.

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. |

As the sole general partner of the Diker Funds, Diker GP, has
the power to vote and dispose of the shares of the common stock
owned by the Diker Funds and, accordingly, may be deemed the
beneficial owner of such shares. Pursuant to investment advisory
agreements, Diker Management serves as the investment manager of
the Diker Funds. Accordingly, Diker Management may be deemed the
beneficial owner of shares held by the Diker Funds. Charles M.
Diker and Mark N. Diker are the managing members of each of
Diker GP and Diker Management, and in that capacity direct their
operations. Therefore, Charles M. Diker and Mark N. Diker may be
beneficial owners of shares beneficially owned by Diker GP and
Diker Management. The Reporting Persons disclaim all |
78
|
|
|
beneficial ownership, however, as affiliates of a Registered
Investment Adviser, and in any case disclaim beneficial
ownership except to the extent of their pecuniary interest in
the shares. |

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 Delaware General Corporation Law and 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; |
|
|
|
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; |
79
|
|
|
|
|
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 & Howard LLP, 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.
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. |
80
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-156.
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, exclusive of any
element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation
of the merger, together with a fair rate of interest, if any, 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 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 for
the stockholders special meeting with respect to shares
for which appraisal rights are available must be notified not
less than 20 days before the
81
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
on ,
2006, 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. A
proxy which is signed and does not contain voting instructions
will, unless revoked, be voted in favor of the approval and
adoption of the merger agreement. 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. |
|
|
|
|
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. A stockholders failure to make the written demand
prior to the taking of the vote on the approval and adoption of
the merger agreement at the special meeting of stockholders will
constitute a waiver of appraisal rights. |
|
|
|
|
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.
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 by
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, 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
82
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. The Register in Chancery, if so
ordered by the Chancery Court, shall give notice of the time and
place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or
certified mail to Unify and to the stockholders shown on the
Unify stockholders list who have demanded an appraisal of their
shares. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more
publications in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such
publication as the Chancery Court deems advisable. 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 (which may be simple or compound), 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 Chancery Court will direct the payment of such value
to the
83
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 and, once a petition for appraisal is filed, the appraisal
proceeding may not be dismissed as to any holder absent approval
by the Delaware Court of Chancery, which approval may be
conditioned upon the terms the court deems just. In order to be
effective, such request for withdrawal must be made within
120 days after the effective date of the merger. The shares
of Unify to which the shares of the objecting stockholders would
have been converted had they assented to the merger will have
the status of authorized but unissued shares of Unify.
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, as amended, 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,
as amended, 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
85
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.

|
|
|
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:

|
Additionally, unless waived by Halo, Halos obligations to

conditions, including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
certain of the representations and warranties of Unify being
true and correct in all respects, and the remaining

material respects, both as of the date of the merger agreement
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

|
|
Halos performance in all material respects of all of its

|
|
|
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
where failure to obtain such consent would not likely have a
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. |
90
|
|
|
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.
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.
91
|
|
|
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 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
92
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 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,
Special Situations Funds and Diker Management, LLC, affiliates
of Unify, who own approximately 21% and 12%, respectively, of
Unifys outstanding voting securities have entered into a
stockholder agreement with Halo. 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
93
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.
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.
94
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.
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).
Tesseract, headquartered in San Francisco, is a total HR
solutions provider offering an integrated Web-enabled HRMS
suite. Tesseracts Web-based solution suite allows HR
users, employees and external service providers to communicate
securely and electronically in real time. The integrated nature
of the system allows for easy access to data and a higher level
of accuracy for internal reporting, assessment and external data
interface. Tesseracts customer base includes corporations
operating in a diverse range of industries, including financial
services, transportation, utilities, insurance, manufacturing,
petroleum, retail, and pharmaceuticals.
95
DAVID Corporation is a pioneer in Risk Management Information
Systems. DAVID Corporation offers client/server-based products
to companies that provide their own workers compensation
and liability insurance. Many of DAVID Corporations
clients have been using its products for 10 years or longer.
Process Software develops infrastructure software solutions for
mission-critical environments, including industry-leading TCP/
IP stacks, an Internet messaging product suite, and an anti-spam
software subscription service to large enterprises worldwide.
With a loyal customer base of over 5,000 organizations,
including Global 2000 and Fortune 1000 companies, Process
Software has earned a strong reputation for meeting the
stringent reliability and performance requirements of enterprise
networks.
ProfitKey International develops and markets integrated
manufacturing software and information control systems for
make-to-order and
make-to-stock
manufacturers. ProfitKeys offering includes a suite of
e-business solutions
that includes customer, supplier and sales portals.
ProfitKeys highly integrated system emphasizes online
scheduling, capacity management, and cost management.
Foresight Software, Inc., a client/ server Enterprise Resource
Planning and Customer Relationship Management software company,
was acquired as part of the acquisition of these five enterprise
software companies. Foresight Software, Inc. was sold to a
third-party on May 23, 2006 and is no longer a subsidiary
of Halo.
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
96
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.
On April 3, 2006, the Company filed a Registration
Statement on
Form SB-2, File
No. 333-132962,
registering for resale the shares of common stock of the Company
issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock
issued to Platinum in connection with the Tesseract Merger and
as payment of dividends on such stock. This Registration
Statement is currently pending before the Securities and
Exchange Commission and is not yet effective. The Company will
not receive any proceeds from the resale of the shares nor will
the Company control the timing, manner and size of each sale
pursuant to this Registration Statement.
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 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 $558,863 in cash and cash equivalents and
330,688 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
97
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
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
is expected to close in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
On April 13, 2006, the Company filed a Registration
Statement on
Form S-4, File
No. 333-133293,
registering the shares of common stock and contingent value
rights to be issued to the InfoNow stockholders under the
InfoNow Merger Agreement. This Registration Statement is
currently pending before the Securities and Exchange Commission
and is not yet effective. If the shares registered under this
Registration Statement are issued in connection with the InfoNow
Merger, an additional 7,200,000 shares of common stock of
Halo will be issued and outstanding which would dilute the
percentage ownership of Halo and Unify stockholders of the
combined company.
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, 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 relational database that is easily
embedded in applications. Data is stored in tables; each table
contains data about a real world object such as customer,
vendor, employee, invoice, etc. The term relational means that
SQLBase through the use of primary keys (unique ID numbers)
maintains the relationships between these various object
allowing business to quickly find out all invoices for a
particular customer or purchase orders for a particular vendor.
SQLBase is easily embeddable because a software vendor may
include the SQLBase installation process in their application
and when the customer installs the application, the customer is
not aware of the database being installed, just that the
application is able to store and retrieve data as desired.
SQLBase uses a statistical optimizer, which means it keeps track
of the number of customers, or invoices in a table and will
execute the best query to retrieve the data. SQLBase manages the
tables, indexes on its own, and does not require the customer to
perform on-going maintenance, therefore, is a low or
zero database administration required. Team Developer offers an
object-oriented, GL toolset. Team Developer offers a very
structured, easy to use outline format to write your application
code. The structure, or indentations, make it easy to understand
what application code is executed and its relationship with all
the other code in the program. Team Developer is considered a
4-GL (fourth generation language) because its language is very
business like and a programmer can focus more on what they want
to accomplish rather than the tedious and time
consuming how to do a given task. For example, the
command SALPOPULATETABLE() is all a programmer needs
to use to populate an excel like data grid. Under the covers,
Team Developer executes many lines of code to connect to the
database, retrieve the data, format it and display it.
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
99
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.

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 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.
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.
Halo consistently re-evaluates its marketing programs. The
Company anticipates that during fiscal 2006 it will invest in
sales tools, website presence, public relations, advertising,
events, direct marketing, customer loyalty programs and market
research to support brand awareness, attract new customers and
attract new partners. Without giving effect to the proposed
acquisitions, the Company does not anticipate materially
increasing its marketing expenses in fiscal 2006 over the prior
fiscal year.

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.
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
101
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. In order to effectively compete in its market Halo must
be able to develop and market, on a timely and cost-effective
basis, new products or new product enhancements that respond to
technological change, evolving industry standards or customer
requirements, avoid difficulties that could delay or prevent the
successful development, introduction or marketing of these
products and work to achieve market acceptance for its new
products and product enhancements.

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 third party technology providers include CodeWeavers, Inc.,
Trolltech Inc., Graphics Server Technologies, L.P., Data
Techniques, Inc. and Rogue Wave Software Inc. The Company
licenses software from these providers under terms customary for
similar agreements. The agreements with these third parties
provide for the Companys license of software during the
term of the agreement in exchange for the payment of license
fees. The agreements are generally renewable annually, subject
to termination for breach by the Company.
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.
Halo 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 Halo to increased risk of
infringement claims by third parties.
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.
102
Our markets for products and services are highly competitive,
and we expect competition to persist and intensify. We face
competition from both established and emerging software
companies that offer similar products targeted at businesses
within markets served by our operating subsidiaries. Some of
these companies have greater resources than we do, and we
compete with these companies primarily on:
|
|
|
|
|
|
product functionality, technology, integration, performance and
price; |
|
|
|
|
|
industry-specific products and industry-expert service; |
|
|
|
|
|
ease of use and installation; |
|
|
|
|
|
cost benefits; |
|
|
|
|
|
sales and marketing efforts; |
|
|
|
|
|
support efforts; and |
|
|
|
|
|
new products. |
|
Historically, many enterprise software vendors have targeted
potential customers in the markets served by our operating
subsidiaries:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gupta Guptas primary competitors are
Oracle, Microsoft, Sybase, Borland, and MySQL. |
|
|
|
|
|
Warp Solutions Warp Solutions primary
competitor is Cisco. |
|
|
|
|
|
Kenosia Kenosias primary competitors
are Interactive Edge, Vision Chain, Decisions Made Easy,
Proclarity and Verisync. |
|
|
|
|
|
DAVID DAVIDs primary competitors are Valley
Oak Systems, CSC RiskMaster, ATS, Guidewire and CS Stars. |
|
|
|
|
|
Process Processs primary competitors
are HP, Microsoft, Sun, Lotus and Sendmail, Brightmail,
Barracuda and MailFrontier. |
|
|
|
|
|
Empagio(including the former Tesseract and
ECI) Empagios primary competitors are Ultimate
Software, Hewitt, Accenture/ Savista, ADP, Employease and Kronos. |
|
|
|
|
|
ProfitKey ProfitKeys primary
competitors are Epicor, Global Shop, Infor, Made 2 Manage,
Intuitive, E2 and Exact Software. |
|
We believe that the number of enterprise software vendors will
continue to decline as the market consolidates around larger
vendors who offer complete
end-to-end solutions to
customers at reasonable prices. Consolidation may occur through
established companies developing their own products, through
acquisitions, or through cooperative relationships between
companies. Future consolidation could lead to increased price
competition and other forms of competition.
Most of Halos and Halos subsidiaries
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 and Halos subsidiaries
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 large, established
competitors Microsoft, Oracle, HP, 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
103
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 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 distributor, ADN Distribution, that accounted for
approximately 22% of Halos revenue. In addition, in fiscal
2005, Halo had one customer, UPS, that accounted for 15% of its
revenues. In the nine months ended March 31, 2006, Halo had
no single customer that accounted for more than 10% of its
revenues.
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. 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. While Halos efforts
and that of its subsidiaries to attract and retain highly
skilled employees could be harmed by its past or any future
workforce reductions, Halo management believes that it can
attract and retain the highly trained technical personnel who
are essential to its product development, marketing, service and
support teams.

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment, which establishes standards for
transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments
for goods or services. This standard requires an entity to
measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for
an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair
value of the award. This eliminates the exception to account for
such awards using the intrinsic method previously allowable
under APB Opinion No. 25. For the Company,
SFAS No. 123(R) is effective as of January 1,
2006. The Company did not apply this method to prior periods.
On March 29, 2005, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC or the Staff) issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment
(SAB 107). Although not altering any conclusions reached in
SFAS 123(R), SAB 107 provides the views of the Staff
regarding the interaction between SFAS 123(R) and certain
SEC rules and regulations and, among other things, provide the
Staffs views regarding the valuation of share-based
payment arrangements for public companies. The Company follows
the interpretative guidance on share-based payment set forth in
SAB 107.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections, that applies to all
voluntary changes in accounting principles. This statement
requires retrospective application to prior periods
financial statements of changes in accounting principles, unless
it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific
effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is
impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an
accounting change on one or more individual prior periods
presented, this statement requires that the new accounting
principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities
as of the beginning of the earliest period for which
retrospective application is practicable and that a
corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of
retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or
net assets in the statement of financial position) for that
period rather than being reported in an income statement. When
it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of
applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods,
this statement requires that the new accounting principle be
applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest
date practicable. SFAS 154 will be effective for us for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. We do not anticipate that
the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have an impact on
our overall results of operations or financial position.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155,
Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
Instruments an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 133 and 140, that allows a preparer to elect fair
value measurement at acquisition, at issuance, or when a
previously recognized financial instrument is subject to a
remeasurement (new basis) event, on an instrument-by-instrument
basis, in cases in which a derivative would otherwise have to be
bifurcated. It also eliminates the exemption from applying
Statement 133 to interests in securitized financial assets so
that similar instruments are accounted for similarly regardless
of the form of the instruments. This Statement is effective for
all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning
of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after
September 15, 2006. The Company does not anticipate that
the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have an impact on
the Companys overall results of operations or financial
position.
105
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 156, Accounting
for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 140, that applies to the
accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and
servicing liabilities. This Statement requires that all
separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities
be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. An entity
should adopt this Statement as of the beginning of its first
fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The
Company does not anticipate that the adoption of
SFAS No. 156 will have an impact on the Companys
overall results of operations or financial position.
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.
Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for undelivered
elements of an arrangement is based upon the normal pricing and
discounting practices for those products and services when sold
separately and maintenance contracts is measured by the renewal
rate offered to the customer.
106

Business Combinations and Deferred Revenue |
In accordance with business combination accounting, we allocate
the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and
intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, based on
their estimated fair values. We engage third-party appraisal
firms to assist management in determining the fair values of
certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such a
valuation requires management to make significant estimates and
assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets and
deferred revenue.
Management makes estimates of fair value based upon assumptions
believed to be reasonable. These estimates are based on
historical experience and information obtained from the
management of the acquired companies and are inherently
uncertain. Critical estimates in valuing certain of the
intangible assets include but are not limited to: future
expected cash flows from license sales, maintenance agreements,
consulting contracts, customer contracts and acquired developed
technologies and patents; the acquired companys brand
awareness and market position, as well as assumptions about the
period of time the acquired brand will continue to be used in
the combined companys product portfolio; and discount
rates. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which
may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions,
estimates or actual results.
We have acquired several software companies in fiscal 2006, and
we plan to make more acquisitions in the future. Acquired
deferred revenue is recognized at fair value to the extent it
represents a legal obligation assumed by us in accordance with
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.
The Company currently contemplates closing the acquisitions of
Unify and of InfoNow in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The
Company anticipates, as a result of closing these transactions,
that the Companys revenues will increase. The Company
anticipates that the acquired companies revenues will not
significantly change from those reported in prior periods, so
that the increase in the Companys revenues will be of a
similar magnitude to these prior period results. The Company
intends to effect cost savings where duplicative expenses exist.
Thus, the Company anticipates an increase in income before taxes
as a result of the close of the two acquisitions. The extent of
these savings will be determined after the completion of the
acquisitions. Additionally, we anticipated that the
Companys cash position will be enhanced by these
acquisitions, as a result of cash being carried over from the
consummation of the Unify merger. Furthermore, we anticipate
raising $2 million in equity financing on or before the
time of the consummation of the merger with Unify, such
financing being a condition to closing the transaction. If only
one of the proposed transactions is completed, the
Companys revenues will not increase to the same extent as
if both transactions are completed and the cost savings will not
be as significant. If only the Unify transaction is completed,
the Companys cash position will be further enhanced, as a
result of the consummation of the Unify merger and the
Companys raising of the additional $2 million in
equity financing that is a condition to this transaction. If the
Unify transaction is not completed and the Company does not
raise this additional $2 million in equity financing but
the InfoNow transaction is completed, the Companys cash
position will not be enhanced and the Company will require
additional cash to fund operations. If neither transaction is
completed, the Company expects revenues to be substantial
similar to revenues for prior periods.

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.
We have recorded a significant amount of goodwill on our balance
sheet. As of March 31, 2006, goodwill was approximately
$32 million, representing approximately 48% of our total
assets and approximately 55% 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.
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company used the intrinsic
value method to account for stock-based compensation in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
(APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and had adopted the disclosure-only provisions
of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
Transition and Disclosure. Effective January 1, 2006,
the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of
SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123(R)). SFAS 123(R) requires
entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in
exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the
grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions).
As a
108
result, compensation cost of the Company for the three months
ended March 31, 2006 includes compensation expense for
unvested portion of all the stock options outstanding and all
the stock options granted after the effective date. No
restatement has been made to prior periods. We had applied
APB 25s intrinsic value method up to
December 31, 2005, and presented pro forma income
statements in the footnote to show the effect of FAS123(R) as if
it had been implemented in the prior periods.
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 $14.2 million to
$16.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006
from $2.6 million for the nine months ended March 31,
2005. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of
Gupta, $6.5 million, Kenosia, $935,000, Empagio,
$2.9 million, and Process and Affiliates,
$4.1 million. 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 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 $2.8 million to
$4.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006
from $1.8 million for the nine months ended March 31,
2005. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of
Gupta, $1.8 million, Kenosia, $131,000, Empagio, $20,000,
and Process and Affiliates, $948,000.
Services revenue increased $11.4 million to
$12.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006
from $783,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005.
This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Gupta,
$4.7 million, Kenosia, $804,000, Empagio,
$2.9 million, and Process and Affiliates, $3.1 million.
Because of the reduction of deferred revenue after an
acquisition under generally accepted accounting principles,
which has the effect of reducing the amount of revenue
recognized in a given period from what would have been
recognized had the acquisition not occurred, past reported
periods should not be relied upon as predictive of future
performance. Additionally, 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 $3 million to
$3.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006
from $413,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005.
This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Gupta,
$852,000, Kenosia, $287,000, Empagio, $847,000, and Process and
Affiliates, $1.1 million. 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 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 and amortization of acquired
technologies. Cost of license revenue increased by $667,000 to
$926,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 from
$259,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. This
increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Gupta,
$349,000, Kenosia, $28,000, Empagio, $118,000 and Process and
Affiliates, $316,000. This increase was partially
109
offset by a $85,000 decrease in amortization of acquired
technologies due to a write-off of intangible assets related to
the Warp Solutions business in June 2005.
The principal components of cost of services are salaries paid
to our customer support personnel and professional services
personnel, amounts paid for contracted professional services
personnel and third-party resellers, maintenance royalties paid
to third-party software vendors and hardware costs. Cost of
services revenue increased by $2.3 million to
2.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006
from $154,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005.
This increase was primarily a result of an increase in employee
compensation directly related to additional headcounts added in
conjunction with the acquisitions of Gupta, $503,000, Kenosia,
$260,000, Empagio, $729,000, and Process and Affiliates,
$829,000.
Gross profit margins decreased to 80% for the nine months ended
March 31, 2006, compared to 84% for the nine months ended
March 31, 2005. The gross margin decrease was mainly due to
the change in the product mix (increase in the proportion of
maintenance and services revenue) the Company sells from the new
subsidiaries. Gross profit margins increased to 84% 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 $3.6 million to $4.3 million for the
nine months ended March 31, 2006 from $729,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 2005. This increase primarily
resulted from the acquisitions of Gupta, $1.8 million,
Kenosia, $227,000, Empagio, $451,000, and Process and
Affiliates, $1.1 million. 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 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
$3.6 million to $5.4 million for the nine months ended
March 31, 2006 from $1.8 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily
attributable to the acquisitions of Gupta, $3 million,
Kenosia, $116,000, Empagio, $105,000, and Process and
Affiliates, $616,000. 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 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 $6.6 million to $9.6 million for the
nine months ended March 31, 2006 from $3 million for
the nine months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was
primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Gupta,
$2.2 million, Kenosia, $508,000, Empagio,
$1.5 million, and Process and Affiliates,
$2.1 million. There was also an increase of approximately
$1 million in corporate headcount to manage the increasing
size and complexity of the Companys operations, as the
Company has acquired new subsidiaries, as well as professional
services fees associated
110
with the acquisitions, securities laws, and tax compliance.
However, this increase in corporate expenses was almost entirely
offset by a decrease in non-cash compensation of approximately
$803,000.
General and administrative expense was approximately $4,691,000
and $8,468,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005
and June 30, 2004 respectively. The decrease of $3,777,000
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 $4.1 million to
$6.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006
from $2.5 million for the nine months ended March 31,
2005. The increase was primarily due to Series D Preferred
Stock paid as penalty of $1,091,000, accretion of warrants of
$1.5 million, and cash interest and the conversion of
interest into common stock of $2.1 million. The increase
was partially offset by the decrease in the amortization of the
deferred financing costs of $567,000. There were also
insignificant changes in miscellaneous categories.
Net Operating Loss Carryforwards
The Company has a U.S. Federal net operating loss
carryforward of approximately $45,989,000 as of March 31,
2006, which may be used to reduce taxable income in future years
through the year 2025. The deferred tax asset primarily
resulting from net operating losses was approximately
$19,034,000. Due to uncertainty surrounding the realization of
the favorable tax attributes in future tax returns, the Company
has placed a full valuation allowance against its net deferred
tax asset. At such time as it is determined that it is more
likely than not that the deferred tax asset is realizable, the
valuation allowance will be reduced. Furthermore, the net
operating loss carryforward may be subject to further limitation
pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
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 nine months ended March 31, 2006, cash provided by
operating activities was approximately $666,000. Our net loss of
$12.7 million was offset by non-cash interest expense of
$4.3 million, depreciation and amortization expense of
$2.1 million, and non-cash compensation expense of
$677,000. In addition, components of cash provided by operating
activities included an increase in deferred revenue of
$6.2 million, accounts receivable of $317,000. The Company
also acquired additional cash through various credit and note
agreements described below. Approximately $17,113,000 was used
to fund acquisitions, and approximately $10,375,000 was used to
repay the principal portion of the outstanding debt.
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.
111
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.
These financial covenants include Total Debt to EBITDA, Cash
Interest Coverage Ratio, and Fixed Charge Covenant Ratio as
defined. As of March 31, 2006, the Company is in compliance
with these financial covenants. The Company anticipates that due
to recent transactions, as well as the InfoNow and Unify
acquisitions, certain of the covenants under the Credit
Agreement may have to be modified in order for the Company to
continue to comply for future periods. The Company has engaged
in discussions with Fortress, and anticipates negotiating
appropriate modifications to the covenants to reflect these
changes in the Companys business as they occur. In the
event the Company completes further acquisitions, the Company
and the Lenders will be required to agree upon modifications to
the financial covenants to reflect the changes to the
Companys consolidated assets, liabilities, and expected
results of operations in amounts to be mutually agreed to by the
parties. If the Company were to fail to comply with the
financial covenants under the Credit Agreement and the Lenders
failed to agree to amend or waive compliance with the covenants
that Halo did not meet, Halo would be in default under the
Credit Agreement. Any default under the Credit Agreement would
result in a default under most or all of Halos other
financing arrangements. The Lenders could foreclose on all of
Halos assets, including the stock in its subsidiaries, and
could cause Halo to cease operating.
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 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
112
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.
Also on September 20, 2005, the Company issued to the
holder of the September 2005 Notes a Warrant to purchase
181,818 shares of common stock of the Company. The Warrant
was issued in connection with the September 2005 Note described
above. The exercise price for the Warrant shares is $1.375,
subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant. The Warrant is
exercisable until September 20, 2010.
On October 14, 2005, one of 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.
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
113
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
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.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2006, the Company used
approximately $17,204,000 for investing activities. During the
same period, the Company paid approximately $507,000 in cash as
part of consideration to acquire Kenosia, approximately
$16,048,000 in cash as part of consideration to purchase
Tesseract, Process, David, Profitkey, and Foresight from
Plantinum Equity, LLC, and approximately $558,000 in cash as
part of consideration to purchase Executive Consultants, Inc.
As of March 31, 2006, the Company had debt that matures in
the next 12 months in the amount of approximately
$4,792,000. This consists of $1,750,000 payable to Platinum
Equity, LLC (seller of Tesseract, Process, David, Profitkey, and
Foresight), $3,347,000 notes payable to other investors. The
$500,000 note payable to Bristol Technology, Inc. has been paid
off in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The Company has
also taken additional debt in the amount of $700,000 and
$1,375,000 in January 2006, both of which are expected to be
paid in equity securities. In addition, the principal amounts
due under the Credit Agreement with Fortress begin to amortize
on August 2, 2006. The repayment for this loan due within
one year is $1,373,063 as of March 31, 2006.
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.
Working Capital Requirements
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
114
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.
Halos working capital as of June 30, 2005 was a
deficit of approximately $5.3 million, comprised primarily
of accounts payable and accrued expenses, $4.6 million,
deferred revenue, $3.4 million, and current notes payable,
$1.3 million, which was partially offset by cash,
$1.5 million, accounts receivable, $2 million and
other prepaid expenses, $0.4 million. Halos working
capital requirements as of March 31, 2006 was a deficit of
approximately $22 million, comprised primarily of accounts
payable and accrued expenses, $8 million, deferred revenue,
$14 million, and current notes payable, $6.8 million,
which was partially offset by cash $1.8 million, accounts
receivable, $4.5 million, and other prepaid expenses,
$0.9 million.
The material increase in our capital requirements for the
current fiscal year, ending June 30, 2006, over the prior
year is primarily due to the increase in headcount and
compensation costs resulting from the acquisition of eight
companies since June 30, 2005, and the expansion of our
management team to lead the Companys acquisition,
integration and management of our operating subsidiaries. As of
June 30, 2005, Halo employed 57 people. As of
March 31, 2006, Halo employed 234 people. Our accounts
payable and accrued expenses similarly increased, rising from
$4.6 million on June 30, 2005 to $8.0 million as
of March 31, 2006. Likewise, our debt service has
increased, primarily due to loans under the Fortress credit
facility, the proceeds of which were used to fund part of the
purchase price for the five companies we acquired in October,
2005.
The Company anticipates further material increases in its
operating costs for the year ending June 30, 2007. We
expect substantially increasing operating expenses in connection
with the growth of our operations, the development of our
enterprise technologies, the expansion of our services
operations and our acquisition activity. Our capital
requirements during the year ending June 30, 2007 will
depend on numerous factors including the amount of resources we
devote to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Funding the continued development of our products; |
|
|
|
|
|
Sales and marketing efforts; |
|
|
|
|
|
improving and extending our services and the technologies used
to deliver these services to our customers; |
|
|
|
|
|
pursuing other strategic acquisitions and alliances, including
the anticipated completion of the InfoNow and Unify
acquisitions, for which we have entered into agreements,
described under the headings Certain Information
concerning Halo; Agreement to Acquire InfoNow, and
The Merger; and |
|
|
|
|
|
making possible investments in businesses, products and
technologies. |
|
Given our current cash position, and our expectations of cash
flows from operations, and assuming that we close the Unify and
InfoNow mergers under their current terms (including the receipt
of $2 million in equity financing), with Unify having
approximately $2.6 million in cash on hand as of the
closing, we anticipate requiring additional working capital
requirements of approximately $4-6 million in year ending
June 30, 2007. This number would decrease by approximately
$500,000 if the InfoNow transaction is not completed. If neither
the InfoNow or the Unify transaction was completed, the Company
anticipates it would require additional working capital of
approximately $200,000 in the year ended June 30, 2007. If
the InfoNow transaction is completed but the Unify transaction
is not, the Company anticipates it would require additional
working capital of approximately $2,500,000 in the year ended
June 30, 2007. We expect to pursue equity or debt financing
in order to meet these capital needs. There can be no assurance
that we will be successful in such efforts. In the absence of
such further
115
financing, Halo will either be unable to meet its debt
obligations or will 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.
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
116
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.
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
117
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

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

who may trade such shares without restriction under the

the completion of the full
118
round of $10,000,000 the investors may invest the remainder of
the amount which they may invest pursuant to this follow-on
right.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the January 2006
Subscription Agreements, the number of shares of common stock
that may be acquired by any investor upon any exercise of this
follow-on right (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be
limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such
exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of

of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.99%
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.

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 first appointed a Compensation
Committee on September 13, 2005. The committee currently
consists of Mr. Boehmer, Mr. Lotke Mr. Kelly and
Mr. Rapkin, all 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.

The following Summary Compensation Table sets forth information

executive officers) at the end of the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2005. This information includes the dollar value
of base salaries and bonus awards and the number of stock
options granted, and certain other compensation, if any.

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, Kelly and
Rapkin) 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 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

agreement. In addition to the foregoing, the Board voted to
award Mr. Bienvenu a discretionary bonus in the amount of

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

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

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

employment agreement, Mr. Mysogland was entitled to receive
a payment equal to $21,875. In addition,
125
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 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.
126
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
Messrs. Sisko and Baileys options is $1.08 per
share (the Fair Market Value on the date of grant by the
Compensation Committee). The options granted to
Messrs. Bienvenu and Mysogland have a five year term and

year term. John A. Boehmer, David M. Howitt and Mark J. Lotke,
the non-employee
directors, each received a stock option for 45,000 shares.
These options all have an exercise price of $1.08 per share
and a ten year term. Additionally, Jeff Bailey, Chief Executive
Officer of Gupta Technologies, LLC, Halos subsidiary, and

(ISIS), is the managing member of IAP II. The
managing members of ISIS are Mr. Rodney A.

Halo, and Mr. Ernest C. Mysogland, Halos Chief Legal
Officer. Mr. Bienvenu holds a seventy percent equity
interest in ISIS. Mr. Mysogland holds a thirty percent
equity interest in ISIS. ISISs interest in IAP II
provides for ISIS to receive twenty percent of the net profits
received from IAP IIs investments.
On August 4, 2004, ISIS and Halo entered into a Consulting
Agreement, pursuant to which Halo will pay ISIS for services
requested of ISIS from time to time, including, without
limitation, research services, at ISISs regular rates or
at the cost incurred by ISIS to provide such services, and will
reimburse ISIS for any costs incurred by ISIS on behalf of Halo.
On August 4, 2004, Halo granted ISIS certain non-qualified
options to acquire 200,914 shares of common stock. All such
options have an exercise price of $6.75 per share. The
exercise of such options is subject to the achievement of
certain vesting and milestone terms (subject to the terms of the

2009.
Halo has entered into a written employment agreements with
Rodney A. Bienvenu, Jr., its Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, and Ernest C. Mysogland, its Executive Vice President,
Chief Legal Officer and Secretary, each as of August 4,
2004. Under the terms of these agreements, any investment,
acquisition or other opportunities that Mr. Bienvenu or
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
personal opportunities.
As of October 13, 2004, Halo entered into that certain
Purchase Agreement Assignment (the Assignment).
Under the Assignment, Halo acquired all of the rights and
assumed all of the liabilities of the Purchaser under that
certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (as amended by
the Extension, the Purchase Agreement) made and
entered into as of September 2, 2004, by and between ISIS
Capital Management, LLC (as the Purchaser) and Gupta
Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Platinum Equity, LLC
(Platinum) (the Seller).
In contemplation of the Assignment to Halo ISIS negotiated for
an extension of the closing date (originally scheduled for
September 30, 2004) until October 15, 2004, and paid
the Seller $1,000,000 in exchange for such right. Under the
Assignment, Halo agreed to repay ISIS (or its assignees), for
the $1,000,000 ISIS paid to the Seller. Halo has issued certain
notes to ISIS evidencing such obligations in the principal
amount of $1,000,000. On January 31, 2005, the notes were
automatically converted into Series C Notes. On
March 31, 2005, in accordance with their terms, the
Series C Notes converted into 1,000,000 shares of
Series C Preferred Stock and warrants to acquire
1,000,000 shares of common stock. These warrants have an
exercise price of $1.25 per share and are exercisable for a
period of five years from the date of issuance.
Part of the consideration paid to the Seller under the Gupta
Purchase Agreement consisted of a promissory note from ISIS in
principal amount of $1,000,000, secured by the assets of ISIS.
In order to compensate ISIS for issuing the note to the Seller,
Halo issued to ISIS a $1,000,000 principal amount Series C
Note. On March 31, 2005, ISIS converted the Series C
Note into 1,010,000 shares of Halos Series C
Preferred Stock and five-year warrants to purchase an additional
1,010,000 shares of Halo common stock at an exercise price
of $1.25 per share. Effective May 15, 2006, ISIS agreed to
convert its Series C Stock into Halo common stock. See
Description of Halo Securities Series C
Preferred Stock.
As Halo is organized under the laws of the State of Nevada, and
as Messrs. Bienvenu and Mysogland have financial interests
in, and are members of ISIS, Halos entering into the
Assignment may be subject to restrictions on transactions
involving interested directors or officers applicable to Nevada
corporations. The Company approved the Assignment and the
transactions contemplated thereunder in accordance with
applicable requirements of Nevada law, including Nevada Revised
Statutes section 78.140. At the time of the approval, the
Company had two directors, Mr. Bienvenu and Gus Bottazzi
(Bottazzi). As disinterested director, Bottazzi
approved the Assignment and the contemplated transactions,
finding the Assignment and contemplated transactions to be fair
to the Company, and with knowledge of the financial interests,
commonality of directorships and memberships, and other aspects
of the relationships between Mr. Bienvenu,
Mr. Mysogland, ISIS and the Company (as described herein).
Furthermore, upon the acquisition of Gupta, in consideration of
the Assignment and services previously performed by ISIS in
connection with due diligence, financing contacts and structure,
for its efforts in negotiating the terms of the acquisition
(including the specific right to assign the Purchase Agreement
to Halo), and undertaking the initial obligation regarding the
purchase of Gupta, Halo agreed to pay ISIS, a transaction fee
equal to $1,250,000, payable either in cash or, at the election
of ISIS, in
Series B-2
Securities, senior debt or senior equity issued in connection
with the acquisition of Gupta. As of May 15, 2006, an
aggregate of $50,000 of this transaction fee has been paid to
ISIS. The remaining $1,200,000 has not yet been paid. Halo is
also obligated to reimburse ISIS for any amount it incurred in
connection with the negotiation and consummation of the
transaction.
128
As of May 15, 2006, the aggregate payments made to ISIS
during the last two years were approximately $75,000, which
amount included $50,000 of the transaction fee payable with
respect to the Gupta assignment and approximately $25,000
reimbursed to ISIS under the Consulting Agreement for costs
incurred by ISIS on behalf of the Company, including rent,
postage, supplies, telephone and other facility charges. As of
May 15, 2006, the Company owes ISIS an aggregate of $45,534
as payment under the Consulting Agreement and as reimbursement
for amounts incurred in connection with the negotiation and
consummation of the Gupta transaction.
One of the Senior Noteholders under the Senior
Note Agreement entered into in connection with the
acquisition of Gupta, was B/T Investors, a general partnership.
B/T Investors lent Halo a total of $975,000 under the Senior
Note Agreement, and received Senior Notes in that principal
amount. One of the partners in B/T Investors is Brian J. Sisko
who is now Halos Chief Operating Officer. B/T Investors
assigned its Senior Notes to its various partners, and
Mr. Sisko received a Senior Note in the principal amount of
$100,000. This note held by Mr. Sisko was paid off in
August, 2005 when Halo refinanced its debt when it entered into
the long term credit facility with Fortress Credit Corp.
On October 26, 2005, the Company, through TAC/ Halo, Inc.,
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the Merger
Sub) acquired Tesseract Corporation
(Tesseract) from Platinum, an affiliate of the
Company. At the time of the Tesseract Acquisition, Gupta
Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Platinum, owned
2,020,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock of the
Company, which is convertible into 2,020,000 shares of
Common Stock of the Company, and warrants to acquire
2,312,336 shares of Common Stock. On an as-converted basis
prior to the consummation of Merger, the shares of Series C
Preferred Stock held by Gupta Holdings, LLC represented
approximately 10% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock
of the Company. In connection with the Tesseract Acquisition,
the Company paid Platinum merger consideration consisting of (i)
$4,500,000 in cash payable at closing, (ii) 7,045,454
shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company, and
(iii) $1,750,000 payable no later than March 31, 2006 and
evidenced by a Promissory Note. The merger agreement, as
amended, provided for a working capital adjustment of $1,000,000
to be paid no later than November 30, 2005. If not paid by
such date, at the option of Platinum, the working capital
adjustment could be converted into up to 1,818,182 shares
of Series D Preferred Stock. Additionally, if the working
capital adjustment is not paid on or before November 30,
2005, the Company must pay Platinum a monthly transaction
advisory fee of $50,000 per month, commencing December 1,
2005. As of May 15, 2006, the working capital adjustment
has not yet been paid.
Also on October 26, 2005, the Company completed the
transactions contemplated by that certain Purchase Agreement
(the Purchase Agreement) dated as of
September 12, 2005 by and among the Company and Platinum,
EnergyTRACS Acquisition Corp. (the Foresight Seller)
and Milgo Holdings, LLC (the Process Seller and
together with Platinum and the Foresight Seller, the
Sellers) for the acquisition of 100% of the equity
interests in DAVID Corporation, ProfitKey International, LLC,
Foresight Software, Inc. and Process Software, LLC (the
Acquisition). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
Platinum sold, assigned and delivered 100% of the common stock,
no par value per share of DAVID Corporation, a California
Corporation and a 100% membership interest in ProfitKey
International LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the
Foresight Seller, an affiliate of Platinum, sold, assigned and
delivered 100% of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share of
Foresight Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the Process
Seller, also an affiliate of Platinum, sold, assigned and
delivered a 100% membership interest in Process Software, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company to the Company in exchange
for the payment of an aggregate of Twelve Million Dollars
($12,000,000) in cash.
As of May 15, 2006, Platinum held 7,045,454 shares of
Halos Series D Preferred Stock, which is convertible
into 7,045,454 shares of Halos common stock.
Furthermore, under the Tesseract Merger Agreement, as amended,
Platinum has the right to convert certain working capital
adjustments into an additional 1,818,182 shares of
Series D Preferred Stock. Platinum has not yet elected to
do so. Gupta Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Platinum, owns
2,020,000 shares of Halo Series C Preferred Stock,
which is convertible into 2,020,000 shares of Halo common
stock, and warrants to acquire 2,312,336 shares of common
stock. As of May 15, 2006, Halo had 8,141,962 shares
of common stock issued and outstanding,
129
13,362,688 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued
and outstanding and 7,045,454 shares of Series D
Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Accordingly, if all of
Halos outstanding preferred stock were converted into
common, Platinum would hold approximately 25% of the then
outstanding shares of Halos common stock, and Gupta
Holdings, LLC would hold an additional approximately 7% of the
then outstanding shares of Halo common stock. However, there are
certain restrictions in the Series D and Series C
Preferred Stock, as well as on the warrants held by Gupta
Holdings, LLC which restrict conversion in certain circumstances
so that the holder does not acquire more than 9.9% of
Halos then outstanding common stock. A majority of the
Companys Series C Preferred Stock including Gupta
Holdings, LLC has agreed to convert the Series C Stock into
common stock which the Company expects to be effective in June
2006.

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

In November 2002, 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
available for award under the 2002 Plan.
CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING THE MERGER SUB
UCA Merger Sub, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Halo. If
the merger is completed, UCA will be merged with and into Unify
and its separate corporate existence will cease. As a result,
Unify will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Halo. UCA was
incorporated by Halo in Delaware on March 9, 2006 with
minimal capitalization and has conducted no business since its
incorporation other than executing the merger agreement.

|
|
|
Insurance Risk Management |
As a result of the acquisition of Acuitrek, Inc., a developer of
policy and underwriting systems for the alternative risk
insurance market, in February 2005, we formed the Unify
Insurance Risk Management (IRM) division. The integration
of the companies was completed in May 2005 with IRM now
including 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
NavRisktm
suite of products. NavRisk is a policy administration and
underwriting application that provides a consolidated,
streamlined view of all information and processes involved in
the management and administration of policies and underwriting.
Using NavRisk, underwriters can manage the tracking and valuing
of exposures, rating, quoting and invoicing of premiums and
issuing final policies and certificates. NavRisk eliminates
intense manual entry of policy information, automatically sends
policy information to brokers and agents and provides in-depth
reporting and analysis.
Unify Business Solutions is comprised of our technology products
including Unify NXJ, ACCELL, DataServer and VISION product
families. Our customers are corporate end user IT departments,
ISVs, VARs and our worldwide distributors. This division is
dedicated to providing exceptional technology and service to
this customer base and continues to meet their current and
future technology needs. This division serves our extensive
customer installed base including providing sales and marketing,
support, and professional services. Included in the division is
our driver performance management application,
ViaModetm,
which was built on our Unify NXJ technology and sold through
partnerships.

NavRisk is an
end-to-end policy
administration and underwriting solution used by the
underwriters, administrators and risk managers of risk pools,
risk retention groups, captives and other self insured entities.

administration of alternative risk groups by automating the
complete policy cycle including renewal processing, rating,
policy certificates, quoting, premium invoicing, reporting, loss
control and communications with customers or members. NavRisk
automates and enables data consolidation, tracking and valuing
exposures, all aspects of quoting and invoicing premiums,
issuing of final policy certificates and endorsements, and
communications, including creating an audit trail so information
is retrievable and accessible. NavRisk integrates with claims
and accounting systems for comprehensive real-time reporting and
analysis on all lines of business.

software vendors who sell packaged applications and resellers.
Unify sells to the alternative risk management insurance market,
transportation labor market and broad horizontal markets
including healthcare, government, education, financial services,
technology, transportation, and manufacturing. No single
customer accounted for 10% or more of Unifys 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.
Unifys direct sales organization consists of sales
representatives and pre-sales consultants. Our North America
sales representatives are located in our headquarters. Unify
markets its products internationally through offices in the UK
and France. Unify has 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.
Unifys 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, 2006, Unify had 15 employees engaged in
sales and marketing activities, 9 in North America and 6 in
Europe. We expect to continue expanding our sales and marketing
group as needed through targeted recruitment of qualified
individuals.

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

seven-days 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.
141
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 and 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, 2006, we had a total of 18 employees
engaged in providing professional services, 6 in support and 12
in consulting and training. Of those employees, 16 were located
in the United States and 2 were located in Europe.
Unify focuses its development efforts on a combination of new
development for its NavRisk and ViaMode applications and the
Unify NXJ platform, as well as enhancing and broadening the
functionality and ports of its database and application
development products. During fiscal 2005, Unify 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, Unify added the
NavRisk policy administration and underwriting solution to its
offerings with the acquisition of Acuitrek.
Unifys product development expenses for fiscal 2005, 2004,
and 2003, were $2.8 million, $3.0 million and
$4.1 million. In fiscal 2004, Unify 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 Unifys 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.
Unifys product development activities are conducted at the
Sacramento, California headquarters facility. As of
April 30, 2006, Unify had a total of 16 employees in
product development, including 12 software development engineers.
Unify relies on a combination of copyright, trademark and
trade-secret laws, non-disclosure agreements and other methods
to protect its 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
142
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.
Unify is 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 Unify Business Solutions 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 dozens of providers of Java-based application
platform suites, integrated services environments and business
process management infrastructure software. These competitors
include BEA Systems, International Business Machines, Microsoft
Corporation and Oracle Corporation. All of these competitors are
large, well capitalized companies with significantly greater
financial, technical and marketing resources as well as greater
name recognition and larger customer bases. The Unify solutions
are competitive from a technical capability, rich interface and
ease of use, service and pricing perspectives, but our
competitors have greater brand recognition and perceived
financial strength.
With our NavRisk application, we have one significant competitor
in Computer Sciences Corporation, which is a large and well
capitalized company. Other indirect competitors include solution
consulting companies who offer to build custom policy
administration systems for the NavRisk-focused market. The
NavRisk application compares favorably to the current CSC
offering from a technological, functional and ease of use
perspective, and because of our installation methodologies, but
CSC has greater brand recognition and perceived financial
strength.
The Company generally derives sales from new project
initiatives, additional deployments 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. Organizations choose Unify software for a variety of
factors including ability to build and implement applications
quickly, the knowledge of Unifys software among its IT
developers, high level of customer service and support Unify
provides and our price point giving our customers a
cost-effective solution to their business problem. Organizations
will typically choose a competitor because of their perceived
financial strength.
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.
143
Employees
As of April 30, 2006, Unify had a total of 60 employees,
including 16 in product development, 15 in sales and marketing,
18 in customer support, consulting, and training, and 11 in
finance, information systems, operations and general
administration. Of these employees, 51 were located in the
United States, 9 were located in Europe.
Unifys success depends in large part on its 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
May 22, 2006, 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, 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
144
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 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.
145
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 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.
146
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.

For the last several years the Company has experienced an
ongoing erosion in its core products worldwide as the Company is
no longer attracting the volume of new customers it historically
has and existing customers are moving to competitors
products for new projects more often. This combination of
factors has resulted in a gradual decline in new software
license revenue for the Companys core products. Software
license revenue for the year ended April 30, 2005 was
$5.2 million compared to $6.1 million for the year
ended in April 30, 2004, and $5.9 million for the year
ended April 30, 2003. In January 2003, the Company released
a new product, NXJ, which created some momentum into the fiscal
year ended April 30, 2004. To date, NXJ has not been able
to provide a sustained source of significant new software
license revenue in an amount sufficient enough to offset the
erosion in revenue from the companys core products.
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
148
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.
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
149
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.
150
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 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.
151
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 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
152
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. We reduced the carrying value
of Arango as a result of a deterioration in Arangos
current financial condition and uncertainties surrounding their
future financial outlook. Arango is a VAR based in South America
and in fiscal 2004 they informed us that it had become more
difficult to close business in Venezuela due to deteriorating
economic conditions in the country and they were also
experiencing extended sales cycles in the Dominican Republic.
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.
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
term loan balance of $0.1 million.

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
153
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 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 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
155
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.
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
156
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 168.
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 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.
157
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.
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
158
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.
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. |
159
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 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
160
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.
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.
161
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 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
162
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.
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,
163
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.
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. |
164
|
|
|
|
|
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 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. |
Effective as of May 15, 2006, the Company received the
consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of Series C Stock to the conversion of their outstanding
shares of Series C Stock into shares of common stock of the
Company and to the amendment of the Certificate of Designation
regarding the Series C Stock (the Certificate)
to provide for the automatic conversion of all outstanding
shares of Series C Stock into shares of common stock upon
the first practicable date. Under the provisions of the
Certificate, each share of Series C Stock will be converted
into one share of common stock of the Company. The Company will
amend the Certificate to reflect the automatic conversion and
will terminate the Certificate upon conversion of all
outstanding shares of Series C Stock. Upon completion,
approximately 13,362,688 shares of Common Stock will be
issued for the outstanding Series C Stock being converted.
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 |
165
|
|
|
|
|
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 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.

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.

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.
F-10
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.
Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for undelivered
elements of an arrangement is based upon the normal pricing and
discounting practices for those products and services when sold
separately, and maintenance contracts measured by the renewal
rate offered to the customer.
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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for Year Ended
June 30, 2005 (Continued)
The Company has reviewed the provisions of SFAS 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information with respect to the criteria necessary to
evaluate the number of operating segments that exist. Based on
its review the Company has determined that it operates in one
segment.
|
|
|
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.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2004 financial
statements to conform to the 2005 presentation.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash
equivalents.
|
|
|
Intangible Assets and Goodwill |
Intangible assets are primarily comprised of customer
relationships, developed technology, trade names and contracts.
Goodwill represents acquisition costs in excess of the net
assets of businesses acquired. In accordance with SFAS 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets goodwill is no
longer amortized; instead goodwill is tested for impairment on
an annual basis. The Company assesses the impairment of
identifiable intangibles and goodwill whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which
could trigger an impairment review include the following:
|
|
|
|
|
Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or
projected future operating results; |
|
|
|
Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets
or the strategy for the overall business; and |
|
|
|
Significant negative industry or economic trends. |
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.

Warp Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for Year Ended
June 30, 2005 (Continued)
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
F-13
Warp Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for Year Ended
June 30, 2005 (Continued)
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,
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 reduced to the proforma amounts as follows:

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,
F-14
Warp Technology Holdings, Inc.

the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
|
|
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
For financial statement instruments, including cash, accounts
receivable, subordinated note, senior note, the amount due to
Isis and accounts payable, the carrying amount approximated fair
value because of their short maturity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement |
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment, which establishes standards for
transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments
for goods or services. This standard requires an entity to
measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for
an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair
value of the award. This eliminates the exception to account for
such awards using the intrinsic method previously allowable
under APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS No. 123
®
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.

Stockholders Equity |

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
F-16
Warp Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for Year Ended
June 30, 2005 (Continued)
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

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

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

of the Series B-2 financing, the conversion price of the

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

agreement. In connection with this agreement the Company
recorded approximately $950,000 as non-cash compensation.

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
F-18

Common Stock, at a purchase price below the conversion price
then in effect. In August 2004, the Company completed its first
closing of the Series B-2 offering at an effective price of
$5.00 per common share. As a result of the Series B-2
financing, the conversion price of the Series B Stock was
reduced from $18.00 to $5.00, and the Company recorded a stock
dividend to the Series B shareholders for approximately
290,770 shares of common stock valued at approximately
$1,499,000.
On September 30, 2003, the Company completed an offering of
975,940 shares of its Series A 8% Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock (the A Shares) with
gross proceeds to the Company from the sale equaling $975,940.
Pursuant to a most favored nation provision of the A
Shares offering, the holders of the A Shares were entitled to
receive the better terms of any offering that was completed
subsequent to the closing of the A Shares offering. As a result,
the Company has cancelled all 975,940 A Shares which were to be
issued and has instead issued 975.94 B Shares to the A Share
subscribers. The A Share subscribers also received warrants with
the same terms as the B Share subscribers. The conversion to
common stock of all the B Shares issued to the A Share
subscribers resulted in the Company issuing approximately
54,220 shares of common stock to the A Share subscribers.
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement between the Company
and the B Share subscribers, the Company was obligated to
register the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of
the B Shares within 45 days of issuance of the B Shares.
This registration rights agreement contained a penalty provision
that required the Company to issue the number of shares of
common stock equal to 2% of the shares of common stock issuable
upon conversion of the B Shares for each
30-day period until
such shares were registered. When the March 2004
Form S-2 was
declared effective, the Company was obligated to issue an
aggregate of 12,427 shares of common stock pursuant to this
penalty provision. Exercise of all the warrants held by the A
Share subscribers will result in the issuance of approximately
27,110 shares of common stock to the A Share subscribers.
The Company recorded approximately $271,000 as beneficial
conversion relating to this transaction because the fair market
value of the common stock was greater than the conversion price.
The March 2004
Form S-2, declared
effective on March 31, 2004, covered the common shares
issuable upon the conversion of the B Shares and warrants held
by the A Share subscribers. The Company recorded approximately
$60,000 for fees relating to this private placement.
On August 4, 2004, the Company amended its 2002 Employee

officers, Rodney A. Bienvenu, Jr., Gus Bottazzi, Ernest C.
Mysogland and Michael D. Liss, certain options to acquire shares
of Common Stock. The total number of shares subject to these
options is 468,799. In addition, the Company granted ISIS
certain non-qualified options to acquire 200,914 shares of
Common Stock. All such options have an exercise price of
$6.75 per share. The exercise of such options is subject to
the achievement of certain vesting and milestone terms (subject
in each case to the terms of the optionees stock option
agreement). Any of the above-described options not previously
exercisable shall be vested and exercisable on the fifth
anniversary of the initial closing of the B-2 Financing. In
connection, with the options granted to ISIS the Company

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

$36, $33, $25, or $18 per share, and were required to be
exercised immediately after their issuance. The Program closed

of the Exchanged Warrants caused the issuance by the Company of
43,023 shares of common stock for gross proceeds to the

as a beneficial conversion dividend relating to this transaction
because the fair market value of the common stock was greater

Company to create a sustainable, profitable company. The
Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended
June 30, 2005 includes the results of operations of Gupta
for five months beginning as of February 1, 2005.
Under the Purchase Agreement, the total purchase price was
$21,000,000, of which the Company delivered $15,750,000 in cash
on or before the closing (ii) $750,000 Senior Note and

issued by an Investor, ISIS Capital Management, LLC
(ISIS) to the Seller (which ISIS agreed to issue in

ISIS is a limited liability company whose managing members are
Rodney A. Bienvenu, Jr. (Bienvenu), the
Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the
Companys Board of Directors, and Ernest C. Mysogland
(Mysogland), the Executive Vice President and Chief
Legal Officer of the Company in exchange for 100% of Gupta
voting shares.
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 Companys management and the Board of directors
believes that the purchase of Gupta that resulted in
approximately $7,055,000 of goodwill is justified because of
Guptas position in the marketplace and expected increased

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 |
F-24

|
|
Company may be required to pay to the Investors a penalty in
cash equal to ten percent (10%) of the principal amount of the
Series C Notes. Accordingly, the Company anticipates that
it will need to obtain a waiver or an acknowledgment that the
penalties do not apply. The Company intends to work with the
Investors to obtain waiver of this penalty or an acknowledgement
that no penalty is due, and has received such waiver and
acknowledgement from certain Investors. However, there is no
assurance that the Company will receive sufficient waivers or
acknowledgements from other Investors. As such the Company has
accrued $647,500 for this penalty. |
On March 31, 2005, all amounts due under the Series C
Notes (principal and interest) automatically converted into
(i) 8,559,750 shares of Series C Stock, and
(ii) Warrants (the Warrants) to acquire
8,559,750 shares of Common Stock, and on April 4,
2005, under the Subscription Agreement, the Company issued an
additional 3,000,000 shares of Series C Stock, and
Warrants to acquire an additional 3,000,000 shares of
Common Stock for $3,000,000 in cash.
The Series C Stock which the Investors received upon
conversion of their Series C Notes, has the following
material terms:
|
|
|
|
|
The Series C Stock is convertible into Common Stock, at the
option of the holder, at a conversion price (the
Applicable Conversion Price) that is initially equal
to $1.00. Accordingly, the Series C Stock is convertible
into Common Stock at a one to one (1:1) ratio. However, the
ratio is subject to adjustment pursuant to the anti-dilution
protections extended to the holders of Series C Stock.
Under the anti-dilution provisions, in the event the Company
issues, at any time while shares of Series C Stock are
still outstanding, shares of Common Stock or any type of
securities convertible or exchangeable for, or otherwise giving
a right to acquire, shares of Common Stock, at a price below the
Applicable Conversion Price, then the Applicable Conversion
Price will be adjusted to the price per share equal to the price
per share paid for such Common Stock in such subsequent
financing. This full-ratchet anti-dilution protection on the
Series C Stock will also be extended to any warrants
received in connection with the Subscription Agreement that are
outstanding at such time. In addition to the full-ratchet
protection, the Applicable Conversion Price will be equitably
adjusted in the event of any stock split, stock dividend or
similar change in the 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. |
|
|
Note 10. |
Senior Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement. |
On January 31, 2005, the Company entered into that certain
Senior Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the Senior
Note Agreement), by and among the Company and the
Purchasers (the Senior Noteholders) identified
therein.
The Senior Note Agreement has the following material terms:
|
|
|
|
|
Senior Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $6,825,000
were sold. |
|
|
|
The Senior Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 10%, with
interest payments due quarterly in arrears. |
|
|
|
Most of the proceeds of the sale of the Senior Notes was used to
fund a portion of the purchase price in the Gupta acquisition
and the remainder of the proceeds was used for working capital
purposes. |
|
|
|
The Senior Notes are due on July 31, 2005. The Senior Notes
are not convertible. |
|
|
|
The Senior Notes are secured by a first priority security
interest in the assets of the Company, including the equity
interests of the Company in Gupta and the 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.
|
|
Note 11. |
Subordinated Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement. |
On January 31, 2005, the Company entered into that certain
Subordinated Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the
Subordinated Note Agreement) by and among the
Company and the Purchasers (the Subordinated
Noteholders) identified therein.
The Subordinated Note Agreement has the following material
terms:
|
|
|
|
|
Subordinated Notes with an aggregate principal amount of
$4,000,000 were issued of which $2,500,000 was sold for cash and
$1,500,000 was issued to the Seller under the Purchase Agreement
(the Gupta Note). |
|
|
|
The Subordinated Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 10%,
with interest payments due quarterly in arrears. Interest is
payable in registered shares of Common Stock of the Company,
provided that until such shares are registered, interest shall
be payable in cash. |
|
|
|
Most of the proceeds of the sale of the Subordinated Notes was
used to fund a portion of the purchase price in the Gupta
acquisition and the remainder of the proceeds was used for
working capital purposes. |
|
|
|
The Subordinated Notes are due on January 31, 2007, other
than the Gupta Note, which is due on January 31, 2006. |
|
|
|
The Subordinated Notes are secured by a security interest in the
assets of the Company, including the equity interests of the
Company in Gupta and the 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. |

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.

Commitments and Contingencies |
On May 6, 2005, the Company received notice of a demand for
arbitration before the American Arbitration Association from
attorneys representing Michael Liss, a former employee of the
Company who had the title Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Liss
disputes the circumstances surrounding the termination of his
employment and claims that he is entitled to severance benefits,
other compensation and damages totaling approximately $187,000
in addition to attorneys fees and statutory damages. The Company
believes that Mr. Lisss claim is without merit and
intends to vigorously defend itself. The Company has accrued
$50,000 for legal cost related to this matter.
Rent expense amounted to approximately $230,000 and $201,000 for
the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

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.

due diligence, financing contacts and structure, for its efforts
in negotiating the terms of the acquisition (including the
specific right to assign the Purchase Agreement to the Company),
and undertaking the initial obligation regarding the purchase of
Gupta, the Company shall pay ISIS and its investors, as
allocated by ISIS, a transaction fee equal to $1,250,000,
payable either in cash or, at the election of ISIS, in
Series B-2 securities, or senior debt or senior equity
issued in connection with the Gupta financing. As of
June 30, 2005 this transaction fee was not paid to ISIS and
is shown on the balance sheet as a due to ISIS. The Company will
also reimburse ISIS for any amounts it has incurred in
connection with the negotiation and consummation of the
transaction. In addition, the Company also owed approximately

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. |
|
|
|
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 |
F-32
Warp Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for Year Ended
June 30, 2005 (Continued)
|
|
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
If any sum due and payable under the credit facility is not paid
on the due date therefore, the Company shall be liable to pay
interest on such overdue amount at a rate equal to the then
current Interest Rate plus 3% per annum. |
|
|
|
Principal amounts due under the Loans begin to be amortized
eighteen months after the closing date of the Credit Agreement,
with the complete Loan to be repaid in full no later than the
Maturity Date which is four years after the closing. |
|
|
|
A mandatory prepayment is required if, prior to the date which
is 9 months after the Closing Date, (i) the Company
has not borrowed under Tranche B, and (ii) the Company
has not acquired (without the incurrence of any indebtedness)
100% of the equity interests of any new subsidiary which at the
time of acquisition had a twelve month trailing EBITDA of
greater than $1,000,000. If prepayments are required due to this
reason, the amount of the prepayment is 85% of the Excess
Cash Flow which means, cash provided by
operations by the Company and its subsidiaries determined
quarterly less capital expenditures for such period, provided
that the Company shall at all times be allowed to retain a
minimum of $1,500,000 of cash for operating purposes. In
addition, the Company must prepay the loan in full no later than
the date which is 21 months after the Closing Date. |
|
|
|
The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants usual
and customary for facilities and transactions of this type. In
the event the Company completes further acquisitions, the
Company and the Agent and lenders will agree upon modifications
to the financial covenants to reflect the |
F-33

|
|
|
|
|
changes to the Companys consolidated assets, liabilities,
and expected results of operations in amounts to be mutually
agreed to by the parties. |
|
|
|
The Companys obligations are guaranteed by the direct and
indirect subsidiaries of the Company, including, without
limitation, Gupta Technologies, LLC, Kenosia Corporation, and
Warp Solutions, Inc. |
|
|
|
The Company and its subsidiaries granted first priority security
interests in their assets, and pledged the stock or equity
interests in their respective subsidiaries, to the Agent as
security for the financial obligations under the Credit
Agreement and the Financing Documents. In addition, the Company
has undertaken to complete certain matters, including the
delivery of stock certificates in subsidiaries, and the
completion of financing statements perfecting the security
interests granted under the applicable state or foreign
jurisdictions concerning the security interests and rights
granted to the Lenders and the Agent. |
|
|
|
As additional security for the lenders making the loans under
the Credit Agreement, certain subsidiaries of the Company have
entered into Security Agreements with Fortress Credit. Corp.
relating to their assets in the U.K., and have pledged their
interests in the subsidiaries organized under English law, Gupta
Technologies Limited and Warp Solutions Limited, by entering
into a Mortgages of Shares with Fortress. Also, the
Companys subsidiary, Gupta Technologies, LLC
(Gupta) and its German subsidiary, Gupta
Technologies GmbH, have entered into a Security
Trust Agreement with Fortress Credit Corp. granting a
security interest in the assets of such entities located in
Germany. Gupta has also pledged its interests in the German
subsidiary under a Share Pledge Agreement with Fortress Credit
Corp. |
|
|
|
Under the Intercreditor Agreement, the holders of the
Companys outstanding subordinated notes which were issued
pursuant to that certain Subordinated Note and Warrant Purchase
Agreement dated January 31, 2005, agreed to subordinate the
payment terms and security interests of the subordinated notes
to the payment terms and security interests of the senior
lenders under the Credit Agreement. |
|
|
|
Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, the Company agreed to issue
warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 7% of the fully
diluted stock of the Company (as of the date of the Warrant
Agreement) if the Lenders make all the advances under the total
commitments of the credit facility. All warrants will have an
exercise price of $0.01 per share. The exercise price and
number of shares issuable upon exercise of each warrant are
subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant Agreement,
including weighted average anti-dilution protection. |
|
|
|
Warrants to acquire an aggregate of 5% of the fully diluted
stock of the Company (2,109,042 shares of Common Stock, par
value $.00001 per share) are issuable upon the Company
receiving advances under Tranche A or B of the credit
facility (Tranche A/ B Available Shares) in
proportion to the amount of the advance compared with the total
$25,000,000 in commitments under Tranche A and B. |
|
|
|
Since the Company borrowed $10,000,000 under Tranche A at
the closing, warrants to acquire 40% of the Available
Tranche A/ B Shares (843,617 shares of the
Companys Common Stock) were issued at closing to the
Lenders. The warrants have an exercise price of $.01 per
share, have a cashless exercise feature, and are exercisable
until December 10, 2010. As further advances are made to
the Company under Tranche B, the Company will issue
additional warrants in proportion to the advances received.
Additionally, if the unused total commitments attributable to
Tranche A and Tranche B are cancelled in accordance
with the Credit Agreement, warrants shall be used for the number
of shares based on the Pro Rata Portion of the Total Commitments
attributable to Tranche A or Tranche B which are
cancelled. |

Note 2. |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year
financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
The Company has reviewed the provisions of SFAS 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information with respect to the criteria necessary to
evaluate the number of operating segments that exist, based on
its review the Company has determined that it operates in one
segment.
Basic and diluted net loss per share information for all periods
is presented under the requirements of SFAS No. 128,
Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per share is calculated by
dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the
weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss
attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average
common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents. The
dilutive effect of preferred stock, warrants and options
convertible into an aggregate of approximately 46,953,305 and
32,597,965 of common shares as of March 31, 2006 and
March 31, 2005, respectively, are not included as the
inclusion of such would be anti-dilutive for all periods
presented.
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company used the intrinsic
value method to account for stock-based compensation in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
(APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and had adopted the disclosure-only provisions
of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
Transition and Disclosure. Effective January 1, 2006,
the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of
SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123(R)). SFAS 123(R) requires
entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in
exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the
grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions).
As a result, compensation cost of the Company for the three
months ended March 31, 2006 includes compensation expense
for unvested portion of all the stock options outstanding and
all the stock options granted after the effective date. No
restatement has been made to prior periods. We had applied
APB 25s intrinsic value method up to
December 31, 2005, and presented pro forma income
statements in the footnote to show the effect of FAS123(R) as if
it had been implemented in the prior periods. We will continue
to do so to show the results of periods for which
SFAS 123(R) was not effective in comparison to the results
going forward.

Had compensation costs for the Companys stock option
grants been determined based on the fair value at the grant
dates for awards under these plans in accordance with

The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Option
pricing models require the input of highly subjective
assumptions. Because the Companys employee stock has
characteristics significantly different from those of traded
options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions
can materially affect the fair value estimate, in
managements opinion, the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value
of its employee stock options.
The company used the following weighted-average assumptions in

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment, which establishes standards for
transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments
for goods or services. This standard requires an entity to
measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for
an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair
value of the award. This eliminates the exception to account for
such awards using the intrinsic method previously allowable
under APB Opinion No. 25. For
F-45
Halo Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)
the Company, SFAS No. 123(R) is effective as of
January 1, 2006. The Company did not apply this method to
prior periods. The impact on this new standard, if it had been
in effect prior to January 1, 2006 is disclosed above in
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies Stock Based Compensation.
On March 29, 2005, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC or the Staff) issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment
(SAB 107). Although not altering any conclusions reached in
SFAS 123(R), SAB 107 provides the views of the Staff
regarding the interaction between SFAS 123(R) and certain
SEC rules and regulations and, among other things, provide the
Staffs views regarding the valuation of share-based
payment arrangements for public companies. The Company will
follow the interpretative guidance on share-based payment set
forth in SAB 107.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections, that applies to all
voluntary changes in accounting principle. This statement
requires retrospective application to prior periods
financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless
it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific
effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is
impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an
accounting change on one or more individual prior periods
presented, this statement requires that the new accounting
principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities
as of the beginning of the earliest period for which
retrospective application is practicable and that a
corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of
retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or
net assets in the statement of financial position) for that
period rather than being reported in an income statement. When
it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of
applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods,
this statement requires that the new accounting principle be
applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest
date practicable. SFAS 154 will be effective for us for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. We do not anticipate that
the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have an impact on
our overall results of operations or financial position.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155,
Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
Instruments an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 133 and 140, that allows a preparer to elect fair
value measurement at acquisition, at issuance, or when a
previously recognized financial instrument is subject to a
remeasurement (new basis) event, on an instrument-by-instrument
basis, in cases in which a derivative would otherwise have to be
bifurcated. It also eliminates the exemption from applying
Statement 133 to interests in securitized financial assets
so that similar instruments are accounted for similarly
regardless of the form of the instruments. This Statement is
effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after
the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins
after September 15, 2006. The Company does not anticipate
that the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have an impact
on the Companys overall results of operations or financial
position.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 156, Accounting
for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 140, that applies to the
accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and
servicing liabilities. This Statement requires that all
separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities
be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. An entity
should adopt this Statement as of the beginning of its first
fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The
Company does not anticipate that the adoption of
SFAS No. 156 will have an impact on the Companys
overall results of operations or financial position.

At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company held on

options for the three months ended March 31, 2006, based on

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.
The net purchase price for Kenosia was $1,815,020, after certain
transaction costs and net working capital adjustments. The

The Companys management and the Board of directors

Tesseract Merger Agreement and Amendment |
On October 26, 2005, the Company completed the transactions
contemplated by that certain Merger Agreement (the Merger
Agreement) dated as of September 12, 2005 by and
among the Company and TAC/ Halo, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company (the Merger Sub), Tesseract
Corporation (Tesseract) and Platinum Equity, LLC
(Platinum), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to
Merger Agreement (the Amendment) dated
October 26, 2005 by and among such parties and TAC/ Halo,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company (New Merger Sub). Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, Tesseract was merged with and into the
New Merger Sub (the Merger) which survived as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Amendment provided
that the Merger Consideration shall consist of
(i) $4,500,000 in cash payable at Closing,
(ii) 7,045,454 shares of Series D Preferred Stock
of the Company, and (iii) $1,750,000 payable no later than
March 31, 2006 and evidenced by a Promissory Note. The
Amendment provided for a Working Capital Adjustment of
$1,000,000 to be paid no later than November 30, 2005. If
not paid by such date, at the option of the Seller, the Working
Capital Adjustment may be converted into up to
1,818,181 shares of Series D Preferred Stock.
Additionally, if the Working Capital Adjustment is not paid on
or before November 30, 2005, the Company must pay Platinum
a monthly transaction advisory fee of $50,000 per month,
commencing December 1, 2005. As of March 31, 2006, the
Working Capital Adjustment has not been paid or converted to
Series D Preferred Stock. As such, the Company has accrued
$200,000 for the advisory fee as of March 31, 2006. Under
the Amendment, Platinum agrees to retain 909,091 shares of
Series D Preferred Stock delivered as part of the Merger
Consideration. If the Promissory Note is paid on or before
March 31, 2006, Platinum will return for cancellation,
without additional consideration from the Company,
909,091 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to the
Company. The Amendment further provides that the rights,
preferences and privileges of the Series D Preferred Stock
will adjust to equal the rights, preferences and privileges of
the next round of financing if such financing is a Qualified
Equity Offering (as defined in the Amendment). If the next
F-51
Halo Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)
round is not a Qualified Equity Offering, the rights,
preferences and privileges of the Series D Preferred Stock
will adjust to equal the rights, preferences and privileges of
the next round of financing at the option of the holder.
In connection with the issuance of Series D Preferred
Stock, on October 26, 2005, the Company and Platinum
entered into an Investors Agreement in order to provide
Platinum with certain rights to register Conversion Shares (as
defined in the Investors Agreement) issuable upon
conversion of Series D Stock or as dividends or other
distributions with respect to the Series D Stock or the
Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof. The Company has
agreed to file a registration statement registering the
Conversion Shares for resale within eighty (80) days after
the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, and to use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to be declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) at the
earliest practicable date thereafter and to remain effective
until the earlier of: (i) twenty-four (24) months
after the date that the Registration Statement is declared
effective by the SEC; (ii) the date when all the Conversion
Shares are sold or (iii) the date when Rule 144(k) is
available with respect to all of the securities covered by such
Registration Statement.
The Series D Stock has the following material terms:
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Series D Stock will be convertible into Common Stock,
at the option of the holder, at a conversion price (the
Applicable Conversion Price) that will initially be
equal to $1.10. Accordingly, the Series D Stock is
convertible into Common Stock at a ratio equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing the sum of the Series D Face Amount
plus any accrued but unpaid dividends by the applicable
Conversion Price, in effect at the time of conversion. However,
the ratio is subject to adjustment pursuant to the anti-dilution
protections extended to the holders of Series D Stock.
Under the anti-dilution provisions, in the event the Company
issues, at any time while shares of Series D Stock are
still outstanding, shares of Common Stock or any type of
securities convertible or exchangeable for, or otherwise giving
a right to acquire, shares of Common Stock, at a price below the
Applicable Conversion Price, then the Applicable Conversion
Price will be adjusted to the price per share equal to the price
per share paid for such Common Stock in such subsequent
financing. In addition to the full-ratchet protection, the
Applicable Conversion Price will be equitably adjusted in the
event of any stock split, stock dividend or similar change in
the Companys capital structure. |
|
|
|
|
|
If the Companys market capitalization based on the shares
of Common Stock outstanding (including all shares of Common
Stock underlying the Shares of Series D Stock on an as
converted basis) exceeds $50,000,000, the shares of Common Stock
underlying the Series D Stock are registered, and the
Company has an average daily trading volume for 20 consecutive
trading days of 100,000 shares per day, then the Company
may require the holders of Series D Stock to convert the
Series D Stock into Common Stock at the then Applicable
Conversion Price. |
|
|
|
|
|
The holders of shares of Series D Stock will be entitled to
receive dividends, at a 13% annual rate, payable quarterly in
arrears beginning on March 21, 2006, either in cash, or at
the election of the Company, in shares of Common Stock. The
dividends are preferred dividends, payable in preference to any
dividends which may be declared on the Series A 8%
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series B 10%
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. Common Stock
delivered in payment of dividends will be valued at 90% of the
average of the volume weighted average price for the 20 trading
day period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the
date set for payment of the dividend. |

Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Any unconverted and non-redeemed Shares of Series D Stock
outstanding on the third anniversary of the initial issuance of
the Series D Stock, will be automatically redeemed on that
date, in cash, at an amount per share equal to the sum of the
Series D Face Amount, as adjusted, plus all accrued but
unpaid dividends thereon (subject to equitable adjustment for
all stock splits, stock dividends, or similar events involving a
change in the capital structure of the Company). |
|
|
|
|
|
In the event of any liquidation of the Company, the
Series D Stock will receive an amount equal to the
Series D Face Amount, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends
thereon, prior to any amounts being distributed to any other
series of Preferred Stock or to the Common Stock holders. After
payment of all liquidation preferences to all holders of
Preferred Stock, including the Series D Stock, the entire
remaining available assets, if any, shall be distributed among
the holders of Common Stock, the holders of Series D Stock,
and any other class or series of Preferred Stock entitled to
participate with the Common Stock in a liquidating distribution,
in proportion to the shares of Common Stock then held by them
and the shares of Common Stock which they then have the right to
acquire upon conversion of such shares of Preferred Stock held
by them. |

The Companys management and the Board of directors
believes that the purchase of Tesseract that resulted in
approximately $12,211,000 of goodwill is justified because of
Tesseract position in the marketplace and its record of positive
cash flow. The tax deductibility of the acquired goodwill is to
be determined.
The net purchase price for Tesseract was $14,126,500, after
certain transaction costs. The preliminary purchase price

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

As part of the purchase price allocations for the acquisitions,
the Company estimated the fair value of underlying obligations
which resulted in reduction of the deferred revenues of the
acquired companies. These reductions are added back to the
revenues to show pro forma results of operations. |

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.
F-56
Halo Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)
The Credit Agreement and the other Financing Documents have the
following material terms:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the
Lenders agreed to make available to the Company a term loan
facility in three Tranches, Tranches A, B and C, in an aggregate
amount equal to $50,000,000. |
|
|
|
|
|
The maximum amount of loans under Tranche A of the credit
facility is $10,000,000. The purpose of amounts borrowed under
Tranche A is to refinance certain of the Companys
existing debt and to pay certain costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the closing under the Credit Agreement. |
|
|
|
|
|
The maximum amount of loans under Tranche B of the credit
facility is $15,000,000. Amounts borrowed under Tranche B
may be used only to partially fund the acquisition by the
Company of one or more companies, the acquisition costs related
thereto, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the Credit Agreement and to finance an agreed amount of
working capital for the companies being acquired. |
|
|
|
|
|
The maximum amount of loans under Tranche C of the credit
facility is $25,000,000. Amounts borrowed under Tranche C
may be used only to partially fund the acquisition by the
Company of one or more publicly-traded companies, the
acquisition costs related thereto, and other costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement and to finance
an agreed amount of working capital for the companies being
acquired. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Company has borrowed $10,000,000 under Tranche A of the
credit facility to pay-off its existing senior indebtedness, in
the aggregate principal amount of $6,825,000, plus accrued
interest thereon, as well as certain existing subordinated
indebtedness, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000.
In addition, amounts borrowed under this Tranche A were
used to pay certain closing costs, including the Lenders
legal fees, commitment fees, and other costs and expenses under
the Credit Agreement amounting to $1,083,872. In addition, the
Company paid $642,614 in consulting and other fees in connection
with the credit facility and in connection with the
Tranche B described below. These closing costs have been
deferred, and will be amortized over 4 years. For the three
and nine months ended March 31, 2006, $121,634 and $251,784
respectively were amortized. The remaining balance of $664,003
was used for working capital needs. |
|
|
|
|
|
The obligation to repay the $10,000,000 principal amount
borrowed at the closing, along with interest as described below,
is further evidenced by the Note. |
|
|
|
|
|
Advances under Tranche B and Tranche C must be
approved by the Lenders, and are subject to the satisfaction of
all conditions precedent required by the Lenders including the
condition that a default not occur under the loans as a result
of the advance. |
|
|
|
|
|
The rate of interest (the Interest Rate) payable on
the Loan for each calendar month (an Interest
Period) is a floating percentage rate per annum equal to
the sum of the LIBOR for that period plus the
Margin. For theses purposes, LIBOR means for any
Interest Period the rate offered in the London interbank market
for U.S. Dollar deposits for the relevant Interest Period;
provided, however, that for purposes of calculating the Interest
Rate, LIBOR shall at no time be less than a rate equal to 2.65%.
For these purposes, Margin means 9% per annum.
Interest is due and payable monthly in arrears. |
|
|
|
|
|
Provided there has been no event of default under the Loan, an
amount of interest equal to 4% per annum that would
otherwise be paid in cash instead may be paid in kind
(PIK) by such amount being added to the principal
balance of the Loan on the last day of each month. Such PIK
amount will then accrue interest and be due and payable on the
same terms and conditions as the Loan. The Company may, at its
option, elect to terminate the PIK interest arrangement and
instead pay |
|
F-57
Halo Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)
|
|
|
|
|
|
such amount in cash. As of March 31, 2006, the Company
accrued and expensed $532,770 in relation to the PIK interest. |
|
|
|
|
|
If any sum due and payable under the credit facility is not paid
on the due date therefore, the Company shall be liable to pay
interest on such overdue amount at a rate equal to the then
current Interest Rate plus 3% per annum. |
|
|
|
|
|
Principal amounts due under the Loans begin to be amortized on
August 2, 2006, with the complete Loan to be repaid in full
no later than the Maturity Date which is four years after the
closing. The repayment due within one year is $1,373,063 as of
March 31, 2006. $873,000 for the fair value of the warrants
issued in connection of this loan will also be accreted within
one year. Net of these two amounts, $500,063, is classified
under Current portion of senior note payable on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet. |
|
|
|
|
|
A mandatory prepayment is required if, prior to the date which
is 9 months after the Closing Date, (i) the Company
has not borrowed under Tranche B, and (ii) the Company
has not acquired (without the incurrence of any indebtedness)
100% of the equity interests of any new subsidiary which at the
time of acquisition had a twelve month trailing EBITDA of
greater than $1,000,000. If prepayments are required due to this
reason, the amount of the prepayment is 85% of the Excess
Cash Flow which means, cash provided by
operations by the Company and its subsidiaries determined
quarterly less capital expenditures for such period, provided
that the Company shall at all times be allowed to retain a
minimum of $1,500,000 of cash for operating purposes. In
addition, the Company must prepay the loan in full no later than
the date which is 21 months after the Closing Date. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants usual
and customary for facilities and transactions of this type.
These financial covenants include Total Debt to EBITDA, Cash
Interest Coverage Ratio, and Fixed Charge Covenant Ratio as
defined. In the event the Company completes further
acquisitions, the Company and the Agent and lenders will agree
upon modifications to the financial covenants to reflect the
changes to the Companys consolidated assets, liabilities,
and expected results of operations in amounts to be mutually
agreed to by the parties. The Company is in compliance with all
covenants under the Credit Agreement. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Companys obligations are guaranteed by the direct and
indirect subsidiaries of the Company, including, without
limitation, Gupta Technologies, LLC, Kenosia Corporation, and
Warp Solutions, Inc. The Amendment Agreement described below
adds TAC/ Halo, LLC, Process Software, LLC, David Corporation,
Profitkey International, LLC, and Foresight Software, Inc. to
this guarantee. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Company and its subsidiaries granted first priority security
interests in their assets, and pledged the stock or equity
interests in their respective subsidiaries, to the Agent as
security for the financial obligations under the Credit
Agreement and the Financing Documents. In addition, the Company
has undertaken to complete certain matters, including the
delivery of stock certificates in subsidiaries, and the
completion of financing statements perfecting the security
interests granted under the applicable state or foreign
jurisdictions concerning the security interests and rights
granted to the Lenders and the Agent. |
|
|
|
|
|
As additional security for the lenders making the loans under
the Credit Agreement, certain subsidiaries of the Company have
entered into Security Agreements with Fortress Credit. Corp.
relating to their assets in the U.K., and have pledged their
interests in the subsidiaries organized under English law, Gupta
Technologies Limited and Warp Solutions Limited, by entering
into a Mortgages of Shares with Fortress. Also, the
Companys subsidiary, Gupta Technologies, LLC
(Gupta) and its German subsidiary, Gupta

|
|

entities located in Germany. Gupta has also pledged its
interests in the German subsidiary under a Share Pledge
Agreement with Fortress Credit Corp. |
|
|
|
|
|
Under the Intercreditor Agreement, the holders of the
Companys outstanding subordinated notes which were issued
pursuant to that certain Subordinated Note and Warrant Purchase
Agreement dated January 31, 2005, agreed to subordinate the
payment terms and security interests of the subordinated notes
to the payment terms and security interests of the senior
lenders under the Credit Agreement. |
|
|
|
|
|
Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, the Company agreed to issue
warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 7% of the fully
diluted stock of the Company (as of the date of the Warrant
Agreement) if the Lenders make all the advances under the total
commitments of the credit facility. All warrants will have an
exercise price of $0.01 per share. The exercise price and
number of shares issuable upon exercise of each warrant are
subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant Agreement,
including weighted average anti-dilution protection. |
|
|

value $.00001 per share) are issuable upon the Company
receiving advances under Tranche A or B of the credit
facility (Tranche A/ B Available Shares) in
proportion to the amount of the advance compared with the total
$25,000,000 in commitments under Tranche A and B. |
|
|
|
|
|
Since the Company borrowed $10,000,000 under Tranche A at
the closing, warrants to acquire 40% of the Available
Tranche A/ B Shares (843,617 shares of the
Companys Common Stock) were issued at closing to the
Lenders. The warrants have an exercise price of $.01 per
share, have a cashless exercise feature, and are exercisable
until December 10, 2010. As further advances are made to
the Company under Tranche B, the Company will issue
additional warrants in proportion to the advances received.
Additionally, if the unused total commitments attributable to
Tranche A and Tranche B are cancelled in accordance
with the Credit Agreement, warrants shall be used for the number
of shares based on the Pro Rata Portion of the Total Commitments
attributable to Tranche A or Tranche B which are
cancelled. The proceeds from the Tranche A were allocated
to the fair value of the warrants and Tranche A. Based on
the fair market value, $1,599,615 was allocated to the warrants
and the remainder of $8,400,385 was allocated to Tranche A.
The fair value of the warrants was determined by utilizing
Black-Scholes method. The discount to Tranche A will be
accreted over 48 months. For the three months and nine

The Notes provide that they automatically convert into
(i) such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of
The Companys Series E Preferred Stock (the
Series E Stock) equal to the aggregate
outstanding principal amount due under the Series E Notes
plus the amount of all accrued but unpaid interest under the
Series E Notes divided by $1.25, and (ii) warrants
(the Series E Warrants) to purchase a number of
shares of the Companys common stock equal to 40% of such
number of shares of Series E Stock issued to the holder.
Under the terms of the Series E Notes, the automatic
conversion was to occur upon the effectiveness of the filing of
the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights (the
Certificate of Designations) pertaining to the
Companys Series E Stock, and, in the event that the
Certificate of Designations was not filed 30 days after the
Series E Notes were issued (February 10, 2006) then
the holders of the Series E Notes may demand that the
Company pay the principal amount of the Series E Notes,
together with accrued interest. No demand for payment has been
made.
Under the Series E Subscription Agreements described below,
holders of the Series E Notes had the right, in the event
that the Company completed or entered into agreements to sell
equity securities on or before February 15, 2006, to
convert the Series E Notes into such other equity
securities as if the investor had invested the amount invested
in such securities. The holders of the Series E Notes have
indicated to
F-62
Halo Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)
the Company that they intend to exercise this right and receive
the same securities as were issued under the January 2006
Subscription Agreements. The terms of the January 2006
Subscription Agreements are described more fully below.
Also on January 11, 2006, the Company entered into certain
Subscription Agreements (the Series E Subscription
Agreements) for the sale of Series E Stock and
Series E Warrants. In addition to the conversion of the
principal and interest under the Series E Notes described
above, investors under the Series E Subscription Agreements
committed to convert the $150,000 short term loan made by
Mr. Howitt, the $500,000 principal (plus accrued interest)
under the September 2005 Note, and the $500,000 principal (plus
accrued interest) under the outstanding October 2005 Note (each
as described above). Accordingly, the Company has taken the
position that these notes were amended by the Series E
Subscription Agreement. Also under the Series E
Subscription Agreement, an investor agreed to convert $67,500 in
certain advisory fees due from the Company into Series E
Stock and Warrants.
The material terms of the Series E Subscription Agreements
are as follows. the Company designates the closing date. The
closing is anticipated to occur when the Series E
Certificate of Designations becomes effective. The obligations
of the investors under the Series E Subscription Agreement
are revocable if the closing has not occurred within
30 days of the date of the agreement. No later than seventy
five (75) days after the completion of the offering, the
Company agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement
covering the Company common stock underlying the Series E
Stock and the Series E Warrants, and any common stock that
the Company may elect to issue in payment of the dividends due
on the Series E Stock.
Upon the completion of this offering, with a full round of
investment of $10,000,000, the Series E investors will have
the right for 15 months to invest, in the aggregate, an
additional $10,000,000 in common stock of the Company, at
$2.00 per share of common stock (as adjusted for stock
splits, reverse splits, and stock dividends) or a 20% discount
to the prior 30 day trading period, whichever is lower.
Each such investors right shall be his, her or its pro
rata amount of the initial offering.
In the event that the Company completes or enters into
agreements to sell equity securities on or before
February 15, 2006, investors in Series E Stock may
convert the securities received under the Series E
Subscription Agreement into such other equity securities as if
the investor had invested the amount invested in such
securities. the Company will provide the Series E investors
with five business days notice of such right. The investor will
be required to execute and deliver all such transaction
documents as required by the Company in order to convert such
securities into such other securities.
Certain of the transactions in connection with the Series E
Subscription Agreement were entered into by Mr. David
Howitt, a director of the Company. Mr. Howitt invested
$350,000 under the Series E Notes, and agreed to convert
the $150,000 short term loan he had made to the Company under
the terms of Series E Subscription Agreement.
Mr. Howitt recused himself from the Company board of
directors decisions approving these transactions.
Investors under the Series E Subscription Agreements have
indicated to the Company that they intend to exercise the right
described above and receive the same securities as were issued
under the January 2006 Subscription Agreements. The terms of the
January 2006 Subscription Agreements are described more fully
below.
On January 27 and on January 30, 2006, the Company entered
into certain convertible promissory notes (the January
2006 Convertible Notes) in the aggregate principal amount
of One Million Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars
($1,375,000). The principal amount of the January 2006
Convertible Notes, together with accrued interest, shall be due
and payable on demand by the holder thereof on the maturity date
which is no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date
such January 2006 Convertible Notes were issued (the
Original Maturity Date), unless the January 2006
Convertible Notes
F-63
Halo Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)
are converted into common stock and warrants as described below.
In the event that the January 2006 Convertible Notes are not
converted by their Original Maturity Date, interest will begin
to accrue at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.
Each January 2006 Convertible Note shall convert into
(i) such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of
the Companys common stock equal to the aggregate
outstanding principal amount due under the January 2006
Convertible Note plus the amount of all accrued but unpaid
interest on the January 2006 Convertible Note divided by $1.25,
and (ii) warrants (the January 2006 Warrants)
to purchase a number of shares of the Companys common
stock equal to 75% of such number of shares of common stock. The
January 2006 Convertible Notes shall so convert automatically
(Mandatory Conversion) and with no action on the
part of the holder on their Original Maturity Date to the extent
that upon such conversion, the total number of shares of common
stock then beneficially owned by such holder does not exceed
9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of
the Company common stock. For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder. In the event that a portion
of the principal and interest under the January 2006 Convertible
Notes has not been converted on the first Mandatory Conversion
(and the holder has not demanded payment), there will be
subsequent mandatory conversions until all of the principal and
interest has been converted, provided that at each such
Mandatory Conversion the total number of shares of common stock
then beneficially owned by such lender does not exceed 9.99% of
the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common
stock. Prior to any such mandatory conversion the holder may at
its option by writing to the Company, convert all or a portion
of the principal and interest due under such holders
January 2006 Convertible Notes into common stock and January
2006 Warrants provided that at each such conversion the total
number of shares of common stock then beneficially owned by such
holder does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and
outstanding shares of the Company common stock. By written
notice to the Company, each holder may waive the foregoing
limitations on conversion but any such waiver will not be
effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered
to the Company.
Also on January 27 and January 30, 2006, the Company
entered into certain Subscription Agreements (the January
2006 Subscription Agreements) for the sale of the January
2006 Convertible Notes and the underlying common stock and
January 2006 Warrants.
The material terms of the January 2006 Subscription Agreements
are as follows. the Company and the investors under the January
2006 Subscription Agreements made certain representations and
warranties customary in private financings, including
representations from the Investors that they are
accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a)
of Regulation D (Regulation D) under the
Securities Act.
The January 2006 Subscription Agreements further provide that
the Company shall register the shares of common stock issuable
upon conversion of the January 2006 Convertible Notes and upon
conversion of the January 2006 Warrants (together, the
Registrable Shares) via a suitable registration
statement. If a registration statement covering the Registrable
Shares has not been declared effective after 180 days
following the closing, the holders shall receive a number of
shares of common stock equal to 1.5% of the number of shares
received upon conversion of the January 2006 Convertible Notes
for each 30 days thereafter during which the Registrable
Shares have not been registered, subject to a maximum penalty of
9% of the number of shares received upon conversion of the
January 2006 Convertible Notes.
The January 2006 Subscription Agreements allow the Investors to
piggyback on the registration statements filed by
the Company. the Company agreed that it will maintain the
registration statement effective under the Securities Act until
the earlier of (i) the date that all of the Registrable
Shares have been sold pursuant to such registration statement,
(ii) all Registrable Shares have been otherwise transferred
to persons who may trade such shares without restriction under
the Securities Act, or (iii) all
F-64
Halo Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)
Registrable Shares may be sold at any time, without volume or
manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144(k) under
the Securities Act.
Upon the completion of the offering under the January 2006
Subscription Agreements, with a full round of investment of
$10,000,000, the investors will have the right for
15 months after the final closing to invest, in the
aggregate an additional $10,000,000 in common stock of the
Company. The price of such follow-on investment will be
$2.00 per share of common stock or a 20% discount to the
prior 30 day trading period, whichever is lower; provided
that the price per share shall not be less than $1.25. Each
investors portion of this follow-on right shall be such
investors pro rata amount of the January 2006 Convertible
Notes issued pursuant to the January 2006 Subscription
Agreements. Once the Company has issued a total of $5,000,000 of
January 2006 Convertible Notes, the investors will be able to
invest up to 50% of the amount which they may invest pursuant to
this follow-on right; subsequent to the completion of the full
round of $10,000,000 the investors may invest the remainder of
the amount which they may invest pursuant to this follow-on
right.

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

common stock would be aggregated with such investor for purposes
of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.99%
of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the
Company common stock. By written notice to the Company, any
investor may waive this provision, but any such waiver will not
be effective until the 61st day after such notice is
delivered to the Company.

issued January 27 and January 30, 2006, pursuant to the
January 2006 Subscription Agreements, the following investors

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
F-65
Halo Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)
ninety (90) days after the filing deadline or, in the event
of a review of the Registration Statement by the Commission, one
hundred and twenty (120) days after the filing deadline, or
(iii) after the registration statement is declared
effective, the registration statement or related prospectus
ceases for any reason to be available to the investors and
noteholders as to all Conversion Shares the offer and sale of
which it is required to cover at any time prior to the
expiration of the effectiveness period (as defined in the
Investors Agreement) for an aggregate of more than twenty
(20) consecutive trading days or an aggregate of forty
(40) trading days (which need not be consecutive) in any
twelve (12) month period, the Company will pay to the
Investors an amount in cash equal to 2% of the face value of the
Series C Stock issued under the Subscription Agreement or
upon conversion of the Bridge Notes, and 2% in cash of the
principal amount of the Senior Notes and Subordinated Notes, and
will continue to pay such 2% monthly penalties every thirty days
until such registration statement if filed, declared effective
and available to the investors at the earliest practicable date
thereafter. The registration statement was filed after the date
due. Accordingly, the Company may have incurred a penalty. The
Company is seeking an acknowledgement from the affected
investors that no penalty has yet incurred and that no such
penalty will be incurred so long as the registration statement
is declared effective within the applicable time period. If such
acknowledgement is not forthcoming, the Company will seek a
waiver of the penalty. As there can be no assurance it will
receive an acknowledgement or waiver, the Company accrued
$386,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

Note 12. |
Series C Subscription Agreement. |
On January 31, 2005, the Company entered into certain
Series C Subscription Agreements (collectively, the
Subscription Agreement), with the Investors. Since
the Series C Notes were not converted by March 17,
2005, due to a delay in receiving approval required before
effecting the Amendment to the Companys Articles of
Incorporation, the Company may be required to pay to the
Investors a penalty in cash equal to ten percent (10%) of the
principal amount of the Series C Notes. Accordingly, the
Company anticipates that it will need to obtain a waiver or an
acknowledgment that the penalties do not apply. The Company
intends to work with the Investors to obtain waiver of this
penalty or an acknowledgement that no penalty is due, and has
received such waiver and acknowledgement from certain Investors.
However, there is no assurance that the Company will receive
sufficient waivers or acknowledgements from other Investors. As
such the Company accrued $647,500 for this penalty for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

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.
F-66
Halo Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was approved by
both companies boards of directors, each share of
InfoNows common stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Merger will be converted into the right to receive approximately
$0.71 in a combination of cash and common stock of the Company.
The amount of cash per share to be received in the Merger by
InfoNow stockholders will be determined by the amount of
InfoNows cash on hand and net working capital available to
it three days prior to the closing. The lesser of the two
amounts will be paid in cash by the Company pro rata in
proportion to each stockholders ownership in InfoNow at
the closing of the Merger. The remainder of the approximately
$0.71 per share Merger consideration will be paid in shares
of the Companys common stock, the value of which will be
deemed to be the greater of $1.00 or the average closing price
of the Companys common stock as reported on the
over-the-counter
bulletin board for the twenty consecutive trading days ending
two trading days prior to the closing of the Merger (the
HALO Conversion Price). The Merger is intended to
qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
In addition, each InfoNow common stock option outstanding at the
closing with an exercise price less than $0.71 per share
will be converted into the right to receive cash and the Company
common stock to the extent that the approximately $0.71 per
share merger consideration exceeds the applicable exercise
price. The amount of cash and the Company common stock to be
issued in respect of the outstanding
in-the-money stock
options as described above will be calculated based upon the
relative proportions of the cash and the Company common stock
issued in the Merger in respect of the outstanding Company
common stock.
The Company will also issue a contingent value right (a
CVR) in respect of each share of the Companys
common stock issued in the Merger. The CVRs will be payable on
the 18-month
anniversary of the closing date, and will entitle each holder
thereof to an additional cash payment if the trading price of
the Companys common stock (based on a
20-day average) is less
than the HALO Conversion Price. The CVRs will expire prior to
the 18-month payment
date if during any consecutive
45-day trading period
during that time when the volume of the Companys common
stock is not less than 200,000 per day, the stock price is
175% of the HALO Conversion Price. The shares of the Company
common stock and related CVRs to be issued in the Merger are
expected to be registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC).
The Merger Agreement includes representations and warranties
regarding, among other things, InfoNows corporate
organization and capitalization, the accuracy of its reports and
financial statements filed under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), the absence of
certain changes or events relative to InfoNow since
September 30, 2005, and InfoNows receipt of a
fairness opinion regarding the Merger from its financial
advisor. Similarly, the Company makes representations and
warranties regarding, among other things, its corporate
organization and capitalization and the accuracy of its reports
and financial statements filed under the Exchange Act. The
Merger Agreement also includes covenants governing, among other
things, InfoNows and the Companys operations outside
the ordinary course of business prior to the closing.
Consummation of the Merger is subject to several closing
conditions, including, among others, approval by a majority of
InfoNows common shares entitled to vote thereon,
negotiation of the final terms of the CVR agreement and the
effectiveness of a registration statement on
Form S-4 to be
filed by HALO, registering the shares of HALO common stock and
related CVRs to be issued in the Merger. In addition, the Merger
Agreement contains certain termination rights allowing InfoNow,
HALO or both parties to terminate the agreement upon the
occurrence of certain conditions, including the failure to
consummate the Merger by July 31, 2006.
The Company currently holds 65,000 shares of InfoNow common
stock. These shares are classified under marketable securities
in the Consolidated Balance Sheet., and are revalued
periodically at the fair

market value. The fair market value as of March 31, 2006 is
$33,800. The decrease in the fair market value since the
acquisition of these shares amounting to $6,778 has been charged
to accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004

1. |
Organization and Description of Business |
As of December 31, 2004, Gupta Technologies, LLC
(Gupta or the Company) was a single
member limited liability company, with 100% of its membership
interests owned by Gupta Holdings, LLC (Member), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Platinum Equity, LLC
(Platinum). On January 31, 2005, the Company
was acquired by Warp Technology Holdings, Inc. (OTC BB: WARP).
(See note 8)
The Member had acquired certain assets of Centura Software
Corporation (Centura) on February 21, 2001
(Platinum Acquisition). These assets included two
main software product lines (as well as other related products):
(i) SQLBase, an embeddable, low-administration database,
and (ii) Team Developer, a rapid application development
tool. Pursuant to the Platinum Acquisition, the Member also
acquired certain domestic and international offices of Centura,
including operations in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany,
the Netherlands (including branches in Denmark and Belgium),
Austria, and Mexico. Effective as of February 21, 2001, the
Member contributed all of the acquired assets to the Company and
the Company began operating as Gupta Technologies, and
thereafter changed the names of its active foreign subsidiaries
accordingly. In or prior to 2002, the operations of the Danish
and Belgian branches of the Netherlands subsidiary were
terminated. In 2003 the Austrian subsidiary was liquidated then

then dissolved. The Netherlands and Austrian subsidiaries
completely ceased all operations in or prior to 2002, and
remained inactive thereafter. The Australian subsidiary is
currently in the final stages of liquidation. The costs
associated with all liquidations have been minimal.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and
expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
|
|
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to
be cash equivalents.
In addition, the Company typically maintains cash and cash
equivalents 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 trade receivables. The Company sells its
products and services primarily to value-added resellers,
independent

software vendors, and end-users on a worldwide basis. 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. As of December 31, 2004, the
Companys allowance for doubtful accounts was $74,095.
Historically, losses have been within the range of
managements expectations.
|
|
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
At December 31, 2004, the respective carrying values of the
Companys financial instruments, including receivables,
accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximated their
fair values. The fair value estimates presented herein were
based on market or other information available to management.
The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation
methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair
value amounts.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income, (SFAS 130)
establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive
net income and its components in members equity. However,
it has no impact on the Companys net income as presented
in these consolidated financial statements. SFAS 130
requires foreign currency translation adjustments to be included
in comprehensive income. The components of accumulated other
comprehensive income relate entirely to currency translation
adjustments.
Property and equipment recorded as part of the Platinum
Acquisition 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 three
years, the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Identified intangible assets as of December 31, 2004,
consisted of the following:

Amortization of intangible assets is computed using the
straight-line method over seven years, the useful lives of the
assets.
The Company expects to incur amortization expense of $1,334,700
for each year ending December 31, 2005 through 2007 and
$193,902 for the year ending December 31, 2008.
Revenues are derived from the licensing of software, maintenance
contracts, training, and other consulting services.
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position
(SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as
amended. In arrangements that include rights to multiple
software products and/or services, the Company allocates and
defers revenue for the undelivered items, based on
vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value, and recognizes
the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount
deferred for the undelivered items as revenue. In arrangements
in which the Company does not have vendor-specific objective
evidence of fair value of maintenance, and maintenance is the
only undelivered item, the Company recognizes the total
arrangement fee ratably over the contractual maintenance term.
Software license revenues are recognized upon receipt of a
purchase order and delivery of software, provided that the
license fee is fixed or determinable; no significant production,
modification, or customization of the software is required; and
collection is considered probable by management. 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.
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 December 31, 2004, the Company recorded deferred revenue
of $4,863,480, 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.
Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for undelivered
elements of an arrangement is based upon the normal pricing and
discounting practices for those products and services when sold
separately and maintenance contracts are measured by the renewal
rate offered to the customers.
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
F-79

Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)

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.
The Company is a single member limited liability company 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 a limited liability
company treated as a disregarded entity, the Companys
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.
The Company has or had foreign subsidiaries based in the United
Kingdom, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium,
and Mexico and is, therefore, responsible for paying certain
foreign income taxes. As a result, there is an income tax
provision of $287,675 and $302,850 for the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
|
|
|
Translation of Foreign Currency |
The local currency is the functional currency for the
Companys international subsidiaries and as such, assets
and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at
year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated
at average exchange rates during the year. Any translation
adjustments resulting from this process are shown as a separate
component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and
losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included
in income currently. In the event of sale or complete or
substantial liquidation of an investment in a foreign entity,
the foreign currency translation adjustment related to that
entity is reclassified from comprehensive income to the
statement of operations for that period.
|
|
|
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.
The Company expenses the costs of advertising when incurred.
Advertising expense were $250,534 and $260,119 for the years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Costs |
Research and development expenses are charged to operations as
incurred. Research and development expenses were $2,631,304 and
$2,676,542 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements |
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, was issued in
January 2003, and a revised interpretation of FIN 46
(FIN 46-R) was issued in December 2003.
FIN 46 applies to any business enterprise that has a
controlling interest, contractual relationship or their business
relationship with a variable interest entities (VIE)
and establishes guidance for the consolidation of VIEs that
function to support the activities of the primary beneficiary.
FIN 46 was effective immediately for enterprises with VIEs
created after January 31, 2003, and will be effective
January 1, 2005 for enterprises with VIEs created before
February 1, 2003. The Company believes it has no
investments in, or contractual or other business relationships
with, VIEs. Therefore, the Company expects that the adoption of
FIN 46 will not have any effect on its financial position
or the results of its operations.
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 a public 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, 2005.
The Company is the process of evaluating the impact to its
financial statements. We believe the adoption will not
materially effect the Companys income statement.
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 asset 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.

Commitments and Contingencies |
In October 2002, Gupta Technologies, S.A. de C.V. (Gupta
Mexico (Gupta Technologies, LLCs Mexican
subsidiary)) was sued by a division of the Mexico City
government (GDF) alleging that Gupta had not
fulfilled its obligations under a consulting services agreement
with GDF. The GDF suit seeks a return of approximately $880,000
in fees paid by GDF, together with penalties, interest, and
other damages in the amount of approximately $11,000 per
day since October 11, 2000. In November 2002, Gupta Mexico
filed its answer, which points out that the agreement contains a
liquidated damages provision limiting GDFs damages to 10%
of the value of the agreement, and contains a counterclaim
seeking $1,300,000 in damages. In November 2003, the court
issued its ruling in favor of Gupta Mexico, (a) that Gupta
Mexico did not have to return any money, and (b) ordering
the GDF to pay 1.9 million
F-82
GUPTA TECHNOLOGIES, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
December 31, 2004
Pesos to Gupta Mexico (approximately US $170,000). The GDF
appealed this ruling and won in April 2003, when the court of
appeals reversed the trial court and issued an order
(i) rescinding the agreement between Gupta Mexico and the
GDF, (ii) requiring Gupta Mexico to return money to the GDF
(including interest from the filing date of the complaint), and
(iii) requiring the GDF to return to Gupta Mexico all that
it had received under the contract. In sum, Gupta Mexico was
ordered to pay the GDF 7,662,647.82 Pesos, plus interest at 9%
annually (per the current exchange rate, this amounts to
approximately US $673,000).
In April 2004, Gupta Mexico filed an Amparo review and, in
September 2004, the Mexico City court of appeals issued its
decision on remand that the GDF has no right to a refund of the
money paid, and that Gupta Mexico does not have the right to
collect the balance of the contract (Gupta Mexicos
counterclaim). Gupta Mexico appealed that decision insofar as it
was denied the right to collect the balance of the contract; the
GDF did not appeal. On January 28, 2005, the federal
circuit court reversed the appeals court for the second time and
remanded the case. The company is currently awaiting ruling of
the appeals court. It is unlikely that Gupta Mexico will obtain
a final ruling that orders the GDF to pay Gupta Mexico the
amount of the counterclaims.
The Company is subject to certain other asserted claims arising
in the ordinary course of business. The Company intends to
vigorously assert its rights and defend itself in any litigation
that may arise from such claims. While the ultimate outcome and
resolution of these matters could affect the results of
operations in future periods, and while there can be no
assurance with respect thereto, management believes after final
disposition, any financial impact to the Company would not be
material to the Companys consolidated financial position.
The Company has operating leases for certain office facilities
and equipment. Rental expense for the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $412,000 and
$522,000, respectively. Future minimum lease payments required
under operating leases that have initial or remaining
noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of

In December 2003, the Company subleased its facility in Seattle
for the remaining term of the lease. Rental income related to
the sublease is expected to be approximately $27,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2005. As the sublease rental income
is less than the Companys obligation over the remaining
term of the lease, the Company recorded a loss of approximately
$57,000 in December 2003.
6. Employee Benefits
The Company maintains a qualified defined contribution plan for
the benefit of all employees. The Companys plan is part of
Platinums defined contribution plan. Platinums plan
allows participating companies to have different contribution
and vesting formula. Participants may elect to defer up to 19% of
F-83

their wages (subject to the annual limitations imposed by
Section 402 of the Internal Revenue Code). The Company
matches participant contributions at the rate of 50% of the
first 6% of salary contributed. The Companys total
contribution to the plan was $91,383 and $92,863 for the years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
7. Geographic Information
The Company sells its products to customers primarily through
direct sales to independent software vendors and end-users in
North America and through distributors and value added resellers

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

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.
Tesseract, headquartered in San Francisco, is a total HR
solutions provider offering an integrated Web-enabled HRMS
suite. Tesseracts Web-based solution suite allows HR
users, employees and external service providers to communicate

|
|
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.

Tesseract Corporation
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-92
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.
Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for undelivered
elements of an arrangement is based upon the normal pricing and
discounting practices for those products and services when sold
separately, and maintenance contracts are measured by the
renewal rate offered to the customer.
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.

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. |

|
|
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.
F-103
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
F-104
Process Software, LLC and Affiliates
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.
Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for undelivered
elements of an arrangement is based upon the normal pricing and
discounting practices for those products and services when sold
separately and for maintenance contracts are measured by the
renewal rate offered to the customer.
F-105
Process Software, LLC and Affiliates
Notes to Combined Financial
Statements (Continued)
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.

Marketable securities are stated at fair value as determined by
quoted stock price. The Company has classified its securities as
investments available for sale pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The
related unrealized holding gains or losses are excluded from
operations and recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
on the Combined Statement of Members and
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 May
2004, the Company sold all of its securities for proceeds of
approximately $451,000 and recognized a loss of approximately
$69,000 for the year ended June 30, 2004.
|
|
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
At June 30, 2005, the respective carrying values of the
Companys financial instruments, including receivables,
accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximated their
fair values.

Shipping and Handling Costs |
Costs to ship products from the Companys warehouse
facilities to customers are recorded as a component of cost of
products in the combined statement of operations.
The Company expenses the costs of advertising when incurred.
Advertising expense were $20,000 and $9,000 for the years ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

|
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
and 2004 is not applicable to the Company as they are a
combination of privately held companies that are different legal
entities, and accordingly, the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding is not determinable.

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.

WARP TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS, INC.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
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.
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.
These unaudited pro forma financial statements are prepared for
informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative
of future results or of actual results that would have been
achieved had the acquisition of Tesseract, and Process and
Affiliates been consummated as of the dates specified above.

Report of Grant Thornton LLP, Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
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.

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.

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.

UNIFY CORPORATION
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-127
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.

UNIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
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):

Deferred taxes are recorded for the difference between the
financial statement and tax basis of the Companys assets
and liabilities and net operating loss carryforwards. A
valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to
an amount whose realization is more likely than not.
U.S. income taxes are not provided on the undistributed
earnings of foreign subsidiaries as they are considered to be
permanently invested.

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-129
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).

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-130
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

allocation adjustments, for Acuitrek as of the acquisition date,

interest in Unify Japan KK, a Japanese corporation that is a
master distributor for the Company in Japan, is less than 15%.
Sales to Unify Japan KK in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003 were

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

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

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

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.

tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and for income tax purposes. Significant components of

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
F-138

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.

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.

UNIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
(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. |
Net revenues and long-lived assets by geographic area were as

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-147
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-149
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
January 31, 2006 the Company had $34,000 outstanding in
term loans (see Note 5).

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

On March 14, 2006, the Company entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger with Warp Technology Holdings, Inc
(Warp). Warp is a holding company that operates
under the name Halo Technology Holdings, Inc. Under the terms of
the merger agreement Halo would acquire all of the outstanding
stock of Unify as part of an all stock transaction. Unify
stockholders will receive 0.437 shares of Halo common stock
for every share of Unify common stock.

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.

CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2005 and our Quarterly Report filed on
Form 10-QSB for
the nine months ended March 31, 2006. 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
on form 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 nine months ended March 31, 2006 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 nine months ended March 31, 2006 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 March 31, 2006;
and combines the balance sheet of the Company as of
March 31, 2006, which is included in the Companys
Quarterly Report filed on
Form 10-QSB for
the nine months ended March 31, 2006 with the balance sheet
of Unify as of January 31, 2006.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the estimated cost of
approximately $16.9 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.

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET
(UNAUDITED)
(A) Reflects the historical financial position of the
Company at March 31, 2006.
(B) Reflects the historical financial position of Unify at
January 31, 2006.
(C) Pro forma adjustments for the conditions to be met
before closing this acquisition per the Merger Agreement.
(D) Certain existing Halo convertible notes are to be
converted to Halos common stock. As of March 31,
2006, these notes amounted to $3,225,000 in principal, and
$93,333 in accrued interest. The total $3,318,333 is to be
converted at $1.25 per share, issuing 2,654,666 shares
of Halos common stock. The value of the common stock
issued is $3,318,333 at $1.20 per share market price as of
March 31, 2006. At the $.00001 par value, $27 is
recorded as common stock, and $3,318,306 is recorded as
additional paid in capital. One of these convertible notes were
originally issued with warrants, whose fair market value was
reduced from the principal. 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
$1,792,385 using the Black-Scholes method.
(E) 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. 13,362,688 shares
of Preferred Series C Stock (the liquidation value of
$13,362,688) and 7,045,454 shares of Preferred
Series D Stock (the liquidation value of $7,840,909) were
converted into the same number of shares of Halos common
stock. At the $.00001 par value, $212 ($134 for
Series C and $78 for Series D) is recorded as common
stock. $21,203,389 ($13,362,554 for Series C and $7,840,831
for Series D) is recorded as additional paid in capital.
(F) 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 March 31, 2006,
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.

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF
OPERATIONS
(Unaudited)
(H) Reflects the Companys historical statement of
operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 and the
year ended June 30, 2005.
(I) Reflects Unifys historical statement of
operations for the nine 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 nine months ended March 31, 2006, Unifys results
were derived by combining the quarter ended January 31,
2006 and quarter ended October 31, 2005 and July 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.
(J) To record the increased amortization of deferred
compensation of $111,732 and $146,235 for the nine months ended
March 31, 2006 and for the year ended June 30, 2005,
respectively. These increases are the results of the conversion
of unvested Unify stock options.
(K) To record the increased amortization of intangibles of
$626,087 and $834,782 for the nine months ended March 31,
2006 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.
(L) To record the decreased interest expense of $349,679
and 0 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 and for the
year ended June 30, 2005, respectively. The decreased 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.
(M) 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-164
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 nine months ended March 31, 2006 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 nine months ended
March 31, 2006 with the results of operations of Unify for
the nine months ended January 31, 2006 and the results of
operations of InfoNow for the nine months ended March 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 March 31, 2006;
and combines the balance sheet of the Company as of
March 31, 2006, which is included in the Companys
Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-QSB for the nine months
ended March 31, 2006 with the balance sheet of Unify as of
January 31, 2006 and the balance sheet of InfoNow as of
March 31, 2006.
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.

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET
(Unaudited)
(A) Reflects the historical financial position of the
Company at March 31, 2006.
Acquisition
(B) Reflects the historical financial position of Unify at
January 31, 2006.
(C) Pro forma adjustments for the conditions to be met
before closing this acquisition per the Merger Agreement.
(D) Certain existing Halo convertible notes are to be
converted to Halos common stock. As of March 31,
2006, these notes amounted to $3,225,000 in principal, and
$93,333 in accrued interest. The total $3,318,333 is to be
converted at $1.25 per share, issuing 2,654,666 shares of
Halos common stock. The value of the common stock issued
is $3,318,333 at $1.20 per share market price as of
March 31, 2006. At the $.00001 par value, $27 is recorded
as common stock, and $3,318,306 is recorded as additional paid
in capital. One of these convertible notes were originally
issued with warrants, whose fair market value was reduced from
the principal. 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 $1,792,382
using the Black-Scholes method.
(E) 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. 13,362,688 shares of
Preferred Series C Stock (the liquidation value of
$13,362,688) 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, $212 ($134 for Series C and $78 for
Series D) is recorded as common stock. $21,203,389
($13,362,554 for Series C and $7,840,831 for Series D)
is recorded as additional paid in capital.
(F) 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 March 31, 2006,
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.

derived by combining the quarter ended January 31, 2006 and
quarter ended October 31, 2005 and July 31, 2006 in
its fiscal year ending April 30, 2006. For the pro forma
statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2005,

compensation of $111,732 and $146,235 for the nine months ended

and 0 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 and for the
year ended June 30, 2005, respectively. The decrease in
interest expense results from conversion of the convertible
notes described in the note (E) of NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA

|
|
C. For federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the

amended (the Code or IRC),
and the Parties to this Agreement intend to adopt this Agreement
as a plan of reorganization within the meaning of
Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States
Treasury Regulations; and |
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants,
representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and
intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as
follows:
ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
1.1 The Merger.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, and in accordance with the Delaware General
Corporation Law (the DGCL), Merger Sub shall
be merged with and into the Company at the Effective Time.
Following the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence
of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall be the surviving

Merger Sub in accordance with the DGCL and shall become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.
1.2 Closing.
The closing of the Merger (the Closing) will
take place at 10:00 a.m. on a date to be specified by the
Parties (the Closing Date), which shall be no
later than the second business day after satisfaction or waiver
of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than
those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the
Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those
conditions), unless another time or date is agreed to by the
Parties hereto. The Closing will be held at the offices of the
Parent at 200 Railroad Avenue, Third Floor, Greenwich,

1.3 Effective Time.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the Closing
Date, the Parties shall file a certificate of merger (the
Certificate of Merger) executed in accordance
with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all
other filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The Merger
shall become effective at such time (the Effective
Time) as the Certificate of Merger is filed with the

time as Parent and the Company shall agree and specify in the
Certificate of Merger.
1.4 Effects of the Merger.
The Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 259

1.5 Certificate of Incorporation
and Bylaws.
At the Effective Time, subject to the provisions of

the name of the Company will remain unchanged), and said amended
and restated certificate of incorporation shall be the
certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation. At
the Effective Time, subject to the provisions of
Section 6.10, the bylaws of the Company shall be amended
and restated to be the same in substance as the bylaws of Merger
Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and
such amended and restated bylaws shall be the bylaws of the

1.6 Directors and Officers.
The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective
Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation until

their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as
the case may be. The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to
the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving
Corporation, until their successors have been duly elected or
appointed and qualified or until their earlier death,

Corporations certificate of incorporation and bylaws.
1.7 Plan of Reorganization.

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,

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

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.

committee thereof shall, except as required by their fiduciary
duties as determined in good faith in consultation with outside

approval or recommendation by the Board of Directors of the
Company or such committee of this Agreement or the Merger,

any Company Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) cause the

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.

in paragraphs (a) and (c) of this
Section 5.4, the Company will promptly (and in any event

Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after

franchises of any of the Parties to the Merger, the proper
officers and directors of each of Parent and the Company shall
take all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by
Parent.
Parent and the Company shall promptly advise each other of any
change or event that, individually or in the aggregate, has or
would likely have a Material Adverse Effect on it or to cause or

warranties or covenants contained herein. From time to time
prior to the Effective Time, each party will promptly supplement
or amend its disclosure schedule delivered in connection with
the execution of this Agreement to reflect any matter which, if
existing, occurring or known at the date of this Agreement,
would have been required to be set forth or described in such
disclosure schedule or which is necessary to correct any
information in such disclosure schedule which has been rendered
inaccurate thereby. No supplement or amendment to such
disclosure schedule shall have any effect for the purpose of

Effective Time, each of Parent and the Company will cause one or
more of its designated representatives to confer on a regular
and frequent basis (not less than semi-monthly) with

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.

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).

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

ANNEX D
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
§ 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal
by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the
stockholders shares of stock under the circumstances
described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section.
As used in this section, the word stockholder means
a holder of record of stock in a stock corporation and also a
member of record of a nonstock corporation; the words
stock and share mean and include what is
ordinarily meant by those words and also membership or
membership interest of a member of a nonstock corporation; and
the words depository receipt mean a receipt or other
instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in
one or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a
corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.
(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of
any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a
merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to
§ 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to
§ 251(g) of this title), § 252,
§ 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: |
|
|
|
a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or
resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository
receipts in respect thereof; |
|
|
b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository
receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or
depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts
at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be
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 holders; |
|
|
c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional
depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a.
and b. of this paragraph; or |
|
|
d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository
receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional
depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a.,
b. and c. of this paragraph. |
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.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

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.

Financial Statement Schedules. |
Not applicable.
The undersigned registrant undertakes as follows: that prior to
any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder
through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration
statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an
underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer
undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the
information called for by the applicable registration form with
respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed
underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the
other items of the applicable form.
The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that
is filed pursuant to the preceding paragraph, or (ii) that
purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act and is used in connection with an offering of
securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of
an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used
until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
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 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.
