factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be
materially different from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Such factors include: (i) demand for the Companys products; (ii) the actions of
current and potential new competitors; (iii) changes in technology; (iv) the nature and amount of
the Companys revenues and expenses; and (v) overall economic conditions and other risks detailed

Historical Background
Halo Technology Holdings, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on
June 26, 2000 under the name Abbott Mines, Ltd. to engage in the acquisition and exploration of
mining properties. The Company obtained an interest in one mining property with mining claims on
land located near Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. To finance its exploration activities, the
Company completed a public offering of its common stock, par value $.00001 per share, on March 14,
2001 and listed its common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on July 3, 2001. The Company conducted
its exploration program on the mining property and the results did not warrant further mining
activity. Halo then attempted to locate other properties for exploration but was unable to do so.
The Acquisition of WARP Solutions, Inc.
On May 24, 2002, the Company and WARP Solutions, Inc. (WARP Solutions) closed a share
exchange transaction (the Share Exchange) pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the Exchange
Agreement) dated as of May 16, 2002, by and among the Company, Carlo Civelli, Mike Muzylowski,
WARP Solutions, Karl Douglas, John Gnip and related Sellers. Following the closing of the Share
Exchange, WARP Solutions became a subsidiary of the Company and the operations of WARP Solutions
became the sole operations of the Company.
Subsequent to the closing of the Share Exchange, the Company ceased all mineral
exploration activities and the sole operations of the Company were the operations of its
subsidiary, WARP Solutions.
The Upstream Merger and Name Change
On August 19, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized and approved the
upstream merger of WARP Technology Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which
had no operations, with and into the Company pursuant to Chapter 92A of the Nevada Revised Statutes
(the Upstream Merger). The Upstream Merger became effective on August 21, 2002, when the Company
filed Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State. In connection with the Upstream
Merger, and as authorized by Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the Company changed
its name from Abbott Mines Ltd. to WARP Technology Holdings, Inc.
2
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 the consent of holders 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, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary 6043577 Canada
Inc., acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Spider
Software, Inc. (Spider), a privately held Canadian corporation, through a share exchange
transaction pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the Spider Exchange Agreement) dated as of
December 13, 2002. Pursuant to the Spider Exchange Agreement the Spider shareholders were issued
1,500,000 shares of the preferred stock of 6043577 Canada Inc., and the Company forgave outstanding
Spider promissory notes of approximately $262,000, all in exchange for one hundred percent (100%)
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Spider. The Company owns 100% of the voting common
stock of 6043577 Canada Inc. The preferred stock of 6043577 Canada Inc. has no voting rights or
other preferences but is convertible on a 100 for 1 basis into the common stock of the Company. As
a result, following the closing, Spider became a wholly-owned subsidiary of 6043577 Canada Inc. and
thereby an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Acquisition of Gupta Technologies, LLC
On January 31, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of Gupta Technologies, LLC and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries Gupta Technologies GmbH, a German company, Gupta Technologies Ltd., a
U.K. company, and Gupta Technologies S.A. de C.V., a Mexican company (collectively referred to
herein as Gupta). The acquisition of Gupta (the Gupta Acquisition) was made pursuant to a
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (as amended, the Gupta Agreement) between the Company and
Gupta Holdings, LLC (the Gupta Seller).
Under the Gupta Agreement, the total purchase price was $21,000,000, excluding
transaction costs, of which the Company delivered $15,750,000 in cash on or before the closing. The
remainder of the purchase price was paid in equity and debt securities issued or provided by the
Company with the terms described herein. As a result, following the closing, Gupta became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
On September 13, 2006, the Company entered into a Purchase and Exchange Agreement with Unify
Corporation whereby the Company agreed to sell Gupta to Unify in exchange for (i) Unifys risk
management software and solution business as conducted by Unify through its Acuitrek, Inc.
subsidiary (Acuitrek) and its Insurance Risk Management division, including, without limitation,
the Acuitrek business and the NavRisk product (the NavRisk Business), (ii) Unifys ViaMode
software product and related intellectual property rights (the ViaMode Product), (iii) 5,000,000
shares of Unify common stock, (iv) warrants to acquire 750,000 shares of Unify stock, (v)
$5,000,000 in cash, of which Halo has received $500,000 as a deposit (the Deposit), and (vi) the
amount by which the Gupta Net Working Capital exceeds the NavRisk Net Working Capital (as such
terms are defined in the Unify Purchase Agreement, the Working Capital Adjustment). The sale of
Gupta is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
Acquisition of Kenosia Corporation
On July 6, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of Kenosia Corporation (Kenosia)
pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (The Kenosia Agreement) with Bristol Technology, Inc.
(Bristol) and Kenosia. Under the Kenosia Agreement (the Kenosia Agreement) the Company
purchased all of the stock of Kenosia from Bristol for a purchase price of $1,800,000 (net of a
working capital adjustment). Kenosia is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, but as it was
acquired after the end of our fiscal year, its results are not included in the financial results
reported herein.
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). These transactions were related party transactions.
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
3
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.
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 originally due no later
than March 31, 2006 and evidenced by a promissory note to Platinum Equity, LLC (the Platinum
Note). Additionally, Halo was 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. As of June 30, 2006,
Halo has accrued and expensed approximately $350,000 for 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.
Subsequently, the parties have engaged in discussions to further modify the terms of the amounts
owed to Platinum. Platinum has indicated it will waive any current breaches of these obligations,
but the parties have not yet entered into any definitive agreement. However, in the event Platinum
does not agree to modify such terms, the Company would be in breach of such agreements.
The Tesseract Merger Agreement further provides that the rights, preferences and privileges of
the Series D Preferred Stock will adjust to equal the rights, preferences and privileges of the
next round of financing if such financing is a Qualified Equity Offering. Under the Tesseract
Merger Agreement, a Qualified Equity Offering is defined as an equity financing (i) greater than
$5,000,000, (ii) not consummated with any affiliate of Halo, and (iii) the securities issued in
such equity financing are equal or senior in liquidation and dividend preference to the Series D
Preferred Stock. If Halos next round of equity financing is not a Qualified Equity Offering, the
shares of the Series D Preferred Stock will convert at the option of Platinum into the terms of the
offering, or maintain the terms of the Series D Preferred Stock. In addition, the Series D Stock
may be converted into common stock at the election of the holder.
4
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. If this Registration Statement
becomes effective, the holder of the Series D Preferred Stock will be permitted to convert its
shares of Series D Preferred Stock to common stock and to resell such shares of common stock,
subject to securities law restrictions as a result of Platinum being an affiliate of Halo. Since
the average daily trading volume of Halos common stock is relatively low (approximately 11,000
shares per day during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006), attempts by the holder of the Series D
Preferred Stock to resell any substantial portion of its shares could result in their being more
shares offered for sale than buyers wishing to purchase shares of Halo common stock. This could
limit the ability of shareholders to sell their shares in the manner or at the price that might be
attainable if Halos common stock were more actively traded or if the Series D Preferred Stock was
not able to be resold pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form SB-2, File No. 333-132962.
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 $578,571 in cash and cash equivalents and 330,688 shares of Halos common stock (with a
value of $558,863 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.
Foresight Sale
On May 23, 2006, the Company and Foresight Acquisition Company, LLC (Buyer) entered into a
Merger Agreement pursuant to which Buyer acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Foresight
Software, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Halo in exchange for a cash payment to Halo. The
Company received $266,402 for this sale, of which $114,500 was applied to the principal of the
outstanding Fortress debt. The Company recorded a gain of $12,072 on this sale.
Business of the Company
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.

5

and the State of Alaska. While Empagio serves many large clients and is dedicated to continuing to
meet their HR needs, Empagios main focus for future growth is the mid-market, or companies with
1,000 to 20,000 employees.
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 Ì 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 Ì rather than the tedious and
time consuming how to do a given task. 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 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. On September 13,
2006, pursuant to a Purchase and Exchange Agreement with Unify Corporation, the Company agreed to
sell Gupta to Unify. The sale is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

Warp Solutions Business
Warp Solutions, Inc. a Delaware corporation, Warp Solutions, Ltd., a U.K. corporation, 6043577
Canada, Inc., a Canadian corporation, and Spider Software, Inc., a Canadian corporation,
collectively, Warp Solutions. Warp Solutions produces a series of application acceleration

processed over the Internet and intranet network systems. These products and technologies are
designed to accelerate network applications, reduce network congestion, and reduce the cost of
expensive server deployments for enterprises engaged in high volume network activities.
The primary product offered is the SpiderSoftware product, which is a software solution
designed to enable caching of pure dynamic content at the web server layer. This product is
installed on the web server of an enterprise to allow network administrators to select certain
sections of its content to remain dynamic, a feature known as partial page caching.
The benefits of the SpiderSoftware solution are increased speed, performance, scalability,
availability and efficiency of a network infrastructures informational and transactional data
flow. The primary advantages of the SpiderSoftware solution include highly granular (in other
words, easily modified) cache control, support for both static caching (caching of non-changing
data) and dynamic caching (caching of changing data), partial page caching, cross platform web
administration tool, real-time cache efficiency performance monitoring, automatic image
optimization, and support for multiple operating systems including Windows NT, Linux, Solaris, and
Unix.
Sales and Marketing
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.
7
Halo consistently re-evaluates its marketing programs. The Company anticipates that during
fiscal 2007 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. The Company does not anticipate materially increasing its
marketing expenses in fiscal 2007 over the prior fiscal year.
Software Product Development
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 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. 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
relyon 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 certain fees. The agreements with Data Techniques, Inc. and Rogue
Wave Software, Inc. are shrinkwrap software license agreements for use of their ImageMan and Rogue
Wave Stingray software products, respectively. These shrinkwrap agreements each grant a license for
use on one computer module for each package purchased. The Rogue Software, Inc. agreement can be
terminated by the software provider upon a breach of Halos obligations under the agreement;
otherwise, the licenses granted are
perpetual.
The agreement with CodeWeavers, Inc. is dated September 20, 2004 and enables Gupta
Technologies, LLC, a subsidiary of Halo, (Gupta Technologies) to obtain services from
representatives of CodeWeavers, Inc. in connection with various software issues, including running
Gupta Technologies software on the Linux Operating System. In exchange for the services, Gupta
Technologies is to pay CodeWeavers, Inc. $100 per hour for certain consultants and $125 per hour
for time spent working on agreed upon projects by Alexandre Julliard. CodeWeavers, Inc. may
terminate the agreement upon breach without correction within 10 days by Gupta Technologies.
The agreement with Trolltech Inc. was entered into by Gupta Technologies, a subsidiary of
Halo, and is dated December 15, 2004. The agreement grants Gupta Technologies with a nonexclusive,
royalty-free license to use Trolltechs software for purposes of developing, testing and deploying
Gupta Technologies Team Developer family of software. The license has a two year term and may be
terminated by Trolltech immediately upon a breach by Gupta Technologies, if Gupta Technologies
fails to pay fees for licensed software or infringes on Trolltechs software. Fees paid to
Trolltech under the agreement include a $50,000 fee paid upon signing of the agreement and a
$75,000 fee that was paid upon the first anniversary of the
agreement.
The agreement with Graphics Server Technologies, L.P. was entered into by Gupta Technologies,
a subsidiary of Halo, and is dated as of January 1, 2004. The agreement grants Gupta Technologies a
nonexclusive, nontransferable
8
worldwide license to use Graphics Server SDK software product object code to prepare and
provide technical support for Gupta Technologies Team Developer family of software. Gupta
Technologies is to pay a $15,000 annual maintenance fee in exchange for the rights granted under
the agreement. The agreement has a two-year term which may be extended for one or more additional
two year terms by mutual agreement of the parties. Either party may terminate the agreement upon a
material
breach by the other that is not cured within 60 days of notice of such breach.
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.
Competition
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 (including RevCast)- Kenosias primary competitors are Interactive Edge,
Vision Chain, Bentonville Software, Decisions Made Easy, Proclarity and Verisync. |
|
|
|
|
DAVID - DAVIDs primary competitors are Valley Oak Systems, GENSOURCE, Insurworx, Tropics, |
|
|
|
|
CSC RiskMaster and ATS. |
|
|
|
|
Process (including Tenebril) - Processs primary competitor is HP. |
|
|
|
|
Empagio (including the former Tesseract and ECI) - Empagios primary competitors are
Ultimate Software, Hewitt, Accenture, ADP and Ceridian. |
|
|
|
|
ProfitKey - ProfitKeys primary competitors are Epicor, Global Shop, Made 2 Manage and
Intuitive. |
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
9
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 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.
Raw Materials
Halo does not use any raw materials in its business.
Dependence on Major Customers
In fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, Halo had one distributor, ADN Distribution GMBH
(ADN), that accounted for approximately 10% and 22%, respectively, of Halos revenues. In
addition, in fiscal 2005, Halo had one customer, United Parcel Service General Services Co.
(UPS), that accounted for 15% of its revenues. In fiscal 2006, no single customer accounted for
more than 10% of the Companys revenues.
Gupta entered into a distribution agreement with ADN dated as of January 1, 2004, pursuant to
which ADN was granted a nonexclusive and nontransferable right to market and distribute, through
third party resellers, Guptas commercially available software and other Gupta services. The scope
of the rights granted in the agreement is the continent of Europe. Under this agreement, ADN was
responsible for an initial payment of 2,015 Euros and is invoiced by Gupta Technologies, LLC for
products and services purchase thereafter for distribution.
Gupta entered into an OEM Software License Agreement with UPS dated September 29, 1994 and
last amended on December 31, 2004 thereby extending its term until December 31, 2006. Pursuant to
this amended software license agreement, UPS agreed to pay Gupta $775,000 in exchange for a
nontransferable, nonexclusive right to use, package and distribute and sublicense certain of
Guptas software programs that have been in the possession of UPS. Pursuant to the agreement, the
payment made to Gupta does not include additional payments which may be made for technical support
during the term of the agreement.
Research and Development
During the fiscal year 2006, Halo spent approximately $6,145,000 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.
Personnel
As of June 30, 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.

Risk Factors
From time to time, information provided by us or statements made by our employees may
contain forward-looking information involving risks and uncertainties. In particular, statements
contained in this report or incorporated by reference into this report that concern future
operating results or other statements using words such as anticipate, believe, could,
estimate, intend, may, plan, project, should or will constitute forward-looking
statements and are made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Our actual results of operations and financial condition have varied in the
past and may in the future vary significantly from those stated in any forward-looking statements.
Factors that may cause such differences include, without limitation, the risks, uncertainties and
other information discussed below. Each of these factors, and others, are discussed from time to
time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not assume any obligation to
update any forward-looking statement we make.
In addition to other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB (including all
exhibits hereto), the following risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating the
Company and its business, as such factors currently have a significant impact, or may have
significant impact in the future, on the Companys business, results of operations, financial
condition and the value of its outstanding securities. Additional risks and uncertainties not
currently known to us or that we do not currently deem material may also become important factors
that may harm our business.
Risks Related to Halos Business
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 for each of the years during which we have operated. Halo
has incurred recurring operating losses since its inception. As of June 30, 2006, Halo had an
accumulated deficit of approximately $94.6 million and a working capital deficit of $23.2 million.
At June 30, 2006, the Company had insufficient capital to fund all of its obligations. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect of the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that
may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Companys continuation as a going concern is
dependant upon receiving additional financing. The Company is currently seeking additional
financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise
sufficient capital. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient
capital to support its working capital needs through its 2007 fiscal year.
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.
11
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, 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 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 which could lead to a decline in our revenue and cash flow.
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
12
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 by negatively impacting our revenue and cash flow.
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.
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 for certain of our operating subsidiaries 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 July 31, 2006, the last sale
price for our common stock, as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, was $0.94 per share and therefore,
our common stock is designated a penny stock. As a penny stock, our common stock is 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
13
stock. The mark-ups or commissions charged by the broker-dealers may be greater than any
profit a seller may make. Because of large dealer spreads, investors may be unable to sell the
stock immediately back to the dealer at the same price the dealer sold the stock to the investor.
In some cases, the stock may fall quickly in value. Investors may be unable to reap any profit from
any sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all.
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior
to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and
Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made
about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and
current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the
limited market in penny stock. The penny stock restrictions will no longer apply to our common
stock if we become listed on a national exchange. In any event, even if our common stock were
exempt from the penny stock restrictions, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the
Exchange Act, which gives the Securities and Exchange Commission the authority to restrict any
person from participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the Securities and Exchange
Commission finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.
Risk Factors Related to Halos Acquisition Strategy
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. The acquisition of
the NavRisk Business from Unify is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. 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 Kenosia, Tesseract, DAVID, ProfitKey,
Foresight, Process, Empagio, ECI, Tenebril and RevCast 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 which could negatively impact our earnings.
Goodwill and intangible assets account for approximately $51.7 million or 87% of Halos assets
as of June 30, 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. 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
14
future cash flows identifiable with the long-lived asset at our weighted-average cost of
capital. For the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, Halo had goodwill impairment charges of $5.2
million and $3.9 million, respectively.
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.
Additional Risk Factors Related to the Business of Halos Operating Subsidiaries
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; |
|
|
|
|
lack of order backlog; |
|
|
|
|
loss of a significant customer or distributor; |
|
|
|
|
changes in purchasing and/or payment practices by Halos distributors or other customers; |
|
|
|
|
a reduction in the number of independent software vendors
(ISVs), who embed
Halos products, or value-added resellers (or VARs), who sell and deploy Halos
products; |
|
|
|
|
changes in the mix of domestic and international sales; |
|
|
|
|
impact of changes to Halos geographic investment levels and business models; |
|
|
|
|

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.
15
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 by a decline in
sales and revenue.
Halo may face problems in connection with product line expansion which could affect its future
operations and limit its growth opportunities.
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 by limiting our prospects for growth which could
lead to stagnant or declining revenue.
A small number of distributors account for a significant percentage of Halos billings. The loss of
one or more of such distributors could significantly reduce Halos revenue, cash flow and earnings.
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 (22% in
the year ended June 30, 2006) of Halos revenues. The five significant distributors are ADN
Distribution, GmbH, Scientific Computers, NOCOM AB, Sphinx CST, and Xtura B.V. Halo, through its
operating subsidiaries, has entered into distribution agreements with each of these five
distributors for distribution of its products and services internationally. These distribution
agreements are non-exclusive and cover territories throughout different regions of Europe. Pursuant
to the terms of these agreements, the distributors may use resellers, must meet certain sales
quotas or risk having the agreements terminated, and may represent themselves as authorized
distributors. 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 by significantly revenue, cash flow and earnings. 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 by significantly
revenue, cash flow and earnings. 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 significantly reduce Halos revenue, cash flow and earnings.
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
16
substantial portion of its revenues from indirect sales through a channel consisting of
independent software vendors, value-added resellers, systems integrators, consultants and
distributors.
Halos sales channel could be adversely affected by a number of factors including:
|
|
|
the emergence of a new platform resulting in the failure of independent software
vendors to develop and the failure of value-added resellers to sell Halos products
based on Halos supported platforms; |
|
|
|
|
pressures placed on the sales channel to sell competing products; |
|
|
|
|
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. The loss of
indirect channel partners, or the inability to attract new channel partners, could lead to a loss
of significant revenue, cash flow and earnings resulting in a material adverse effect on our
business.
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 due to increased development, marketing and distribution costs and expenses.
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 due to loss of customer revenue.
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 thirdparty 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 due to loss of customer and
subsequent decline in revenue.
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 which could harm
our business, operating results and financial condition.
Halo competes with Microsoft while simultaneously supporting Microsoft technologies. Our business
maybe 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 effectively with Microsoft now or in the future, and Halos business,
operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.
17
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 which could lead to a decline in customer sales and resulting in a loss of
revenue, cash flow and earnings, as well as limiting our future growth opportunities.
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.
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
18
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 years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, Halo
derived approximately 35% and 60%, respectively 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; |
|
|
|
|
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.
19
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.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
The principal executive offices of Halo are located at 200 Railroad Avenue, 3rd Floor,
Greenwich, Connecticut 06830. Halo amended its lease on May 1, 2006 for approximately 4,466 square
feet of office space. The lease expires on August 31, 2010. Under the terms of the lease, the
Company will pay an aggregate rent of $926,878. The property has a general purpose use for sales
and administration, and Halo believes it will be sufficient for our needs for the foreseeable
future.
Halos wholly-owned subsidiary, Gupta, leases 6,319 square feet of office space at its
headquarters in Redwood Shores, California, and 5,349 square feet of office space in Munich,
Germany. Gupta additionally leases small sales offices in Paris and London.
The principal executive offices of Halos Process subsidiary are located in Framingham,
Massachusetts. Halos subsidiary ProfitKey International leases 9,000 square feet of office space
at its headquarters in Salem, New Hampshire. Halos DAVID Corporation subsidiary leases 5,180
square feet of office space at its headquarters in San Francisco, California. Empagio leases 1,788
square feet of office space at its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, and 13,500 square feet of
office space in San Francisco, California. Halo believes these premises, together with any premises
acquired in connection pending acquisitions, will be sufficient for our needs for the foreseeable
future.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, Halo may be involved in litigation that arises in the normal course of
its business operations. As of the date of this Annual Report, Halo is not a party to any
litigation that it believes could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its
business or results of operations.

In November 2002, the Companys Board of Directors approved and adopted the 2002 Plan as
a means through which the Company and its subsidiaries may attract, retain and compensate employees
and consultants. So that the appropriate incentive can be provided, the 2002 Plan provides for
granting Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Stock
Bonuses, or a combination of the foregoing. A total of 776,611 Shares have been reserved for
issuance pursuant to the 2002 Plan plus Shares that are subject to: (a) issuance upon exercise of
an option but cease to be subject to such option for any reason other than exercise of such option;
(b) an award granted under the 2002 Plan but forfeited or repurchased by the Company at the
original issue price; and (c) an Award that otherwise terminates without Shares being issued. The
2002 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may at any time
terminate or amend the 2002 Plan in any respect, including without limitation amendment of any form
of award agreement or instrument to be executed pursuant to the 2002 Plan; provided, however, that
the Board of Directors will not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, amend the
2002 Plan in any manner that requires stockholder approval. Unless earlier terminated as provided
under the 2002 Plan, the 2002 Plan will terminate November 2012. As of June 30, 2006, there were
outstanding options to purchase 570,077 shares and there were 206,634 shares available for award
under the 2002 Plan.
At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company held October 21, 2005, the stockholders
of the Company approved the 2005 Plan which had been previously approved by the Board of Directors
of the Company. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company 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. The Companys employees, consultants and directors, or the employees, consultants and
directors of the Companys 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. The Board of
Directors may at any time suspend, terminate or amend the 2005 Plan in any respect, including
without limitation amendment of any form of award agreement or instrument to be executed pursuant
to the 2005 Plan, and the Compensation Committee may amend any outstanding awards in any respect;
provided, however, that the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee will not, without the
approval of the stockholders of the Company, amend the 2005 Plan in any manner that requires
stockholder approval. As of June 30, 2006, there were outstanding options to purchase 3,643,500
shares and 4,756,500 shares available for award under the 2005 Plan.
Also as a result of the stockholders approval of the 2005 Plan, the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors determined to award cash bonus amounts, options and/or shares pursuant to
the Fiscal 2006 Halo Senior Management Incentive Plan. No specific awards have yet been made under
the Fiscal 2006 Halo Senior Management Incentive Plan. Any awards made will be made out of shares
reserved under the 2002 Plan, the 2005 Plan or any other plans adopted in the future.

Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful any broker-dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the
broker-dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.
Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker-dealer to engage in a penny stock
transaction unless the broker-dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer the
current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.
Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker-dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a
customer unless the broker-dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or
other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.
Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than
one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction,
information about the sales persons compensation.
The Companys common stock may be subject to the foregoing rules. The application of the
penny stock rules may affect our stockholders ability to sell their shares because some
broker/dealers may not be willing to make a market in our common stock because of the burdens
imposed upon them by the penny stock rules.

Revenue
Revenue is derived from the licensing of software, maintenance contracts, training, and other
consulting services. License revenue is derived from licensing of our software and third-party
software products. Services revenue results from
23
consulting and education services, and maintaining, supporting and providing periodic
unspecified upgrades for previously licensed products.
Total revenue increased by $20.1 million to $25.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2006
from $5.1 for the year ended June 30, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of
Kenosia, $1.2 million, Empagio, $5.8 million, and Process and Affiliates, $6.7 million. There was
an increase of $6.5 million in Gupta due to the shorter periods of operations recorded under Halo
in fiscal 2005.
License revenue increased by $2.8 million to $5.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2006
from 3 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the
acquisitions of Process and Affiliates, $1.4 million and an increase of $1.3 million in Gupta due
to the shorter periods of operations recorded under Halo in fiscal 2005.
Services revenue increased $17.3 million to $19.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2006
from $2.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the
acquisitions of Kenosia, $1.1 million, Empagio, $5.8 million, and Process and Affiliates, $5.3
million. There was an increase of $5.2 million in Gupta due to the shorter periods of operations
recorded under Halo in fiscal 2005.
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.
Cost of Revenue
Total cost of revenue increased by $4.5 million to $5.4 million for the year ended June 30,
2006 from $846,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the
acquisitions of Kenosia, $367,000, Empagio, $1.8 million, and Process and Affiliates, $1.7 million.
There was an increase of $1 million in Gupta due to the shorter periods of operations recorded
under Halo in fiscal 2005.
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 $853,000 to $1.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2006 from
$449,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of
Kenosia, $38,000, Empagio, $187,000 and Process and Affiliates, $459,000. This increase was
partially offset by $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. There was an increase of
$535,000 in Gupta due to the shorter periods of operations recorded under Halo in fiscal 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 $3.7 million to $4 million for the year ended
June 30, 2006 from $396,000 for the year ended June 30, 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 Kenosia, $330,000, Empagio, $1.7 million, and Process and
Affiliates, $1.2 million. There was an increase of $469,000 in Gupta due to the shorter periods of
operations recorded under Halo in fiscal 2005.
Gross profit margins decreased to 79% for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to 83% for
the year ended June 30, 2005. The gross margin decrease was mainly due to the change in the product
mix (increase in the proportion of maintenance and services revenue) the Company sells from the new
subsidiaries.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries and other personnel-related
expenses for engineering personnel, expensable hardware and software costs, overhead costs and
costs of contractors. Research and development expenses increased by approximately $4.6 million to
$6.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $1.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2005.
This increase primarily resulted from the acquisitions of Kenosia, $323,000, Empagio, $819,000,
24
and Process and Affiliates, $1.7 million. There was an increase of $1.7 million in Gupta due
to the shorter periods of operations recorded under Halo in fiscal 2005.
Sales and Marketing
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 $3.9 million to $7.5 million for the year ended
June 30, 2006 from $3.7 for the year ended June 30, 2005. This increase was primarily attributable
to the acquisitions of Kenosia, $166,000, Empagio, $406,000, and Process and Affiliates, $1
million. There was an increase of $2.7 million in Gupta due to the shorter periods of operations
recorded under Halo in fiscal 2005.
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 $10.4 million to $15.1
million for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $4.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. This
increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Kenosia, $658,000, Empagio, $2.7
million, and Process and Affiliates, $3.2 million. There was an increase of $1.8 million in Guptas
operations due to the shorter periods of operations recorded under Halo in fiscal 2005. There was
also an increase of approximately $2.2 million in corporate headcount to manage the increasing size
and complexity of the Companys operations, as the Company has acquired new subsidiaries, as well
as professional services fees associated with the acquisitions, securities laws, and tax
compliance. However, this increase in corporate expenses was partially offset by a decrease in
non-cash compensation of approximately $432,000.
Late filing penalty
As of June 30, 2005, the Company had accrued approximately $1 million for the penalties
related to delays in certain events related to the Companys Series C Preferred Stock (all of which
has been converted into common stock, as of June 30, 2006), and other securities sold January 31,
2005, the proceeds from which were used to fund the acquisition of Gupta. On January 31, 2005, the
Company entered into certain Series C Subscription Agreements (collectively, the Series C
Subscription Agreement), with the Investors named therein. Under the Series C Subscription
Agreement, the Company issued Series C Notes, which, on March 31, 2005, converted into shares of
Series C Preferred Stock, and warrants to acquire common stock. Since the Series C Notes were not
converted by March 17, 2005, due to a delay in receiving approval required before effecting an
amendment to the Companys Articles of Incorporation, the Company could have been considered to
have been obligated to pay to the Investors a penalty in cash equal to ten percent (10%) of the
principal amount of the Series C Notes. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2005, the Company accrued
$647,500 for this potential penalty.
Furthermore, that certain Investors Agreement entered into by the Company and the Investors
named therein on January 31, 2005 (the Series C Investors Agreement), the Company agreed to
register the shares of common stock issuable (i) upon conversion of the Series C Stock, (ii) upon
exercise of the warrants issued to the Series C stock holders, (iii) upon conversion of certain
subordinated notes and certain warrants issued by the Company under the Subordinated Note and
Warrant Purchase Agreement dated January 31, 2005, and (iv) the warrants issued under the Senior
Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated January 31, 2005. The registration statement covering
such shares, which was required to be filed under the Series C Investors Agreement, was filed
after the due date under the agreement due to the delay in receiving required consents necessary
for filing. As there was no assurance the Company would receive an acknowledgement that no penalty
applied under the Series C Investors Agreement under these circumstances, or waiver of such
penalties, the Company accrued $386,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
Subsequently, the Company received sufficient waivers and acknowledgements from the Investors
that these penalties are not owed. Therefore, both of these accruals were reversed as of June 30,
2006.
Goodwill impairment
The Company recorded goodwill and intangible assets impairment of approximately $5.2 million
and $4.0 million for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. In fiscal year 2006, the Company
determined that the net assets of Gupta was in excess of the amount of anticipated cash flow
generated by the business. Based on a discounted cash flow analysis, the Company determined that
$5.2 million of goodwill has been impaired as of June 30, 2006. In fiscal year 2005, the entire
value of $3.9 million of the intangible assets and goodwill related to the Spider acquisition was
determined to be impaired. Spiders future cash flow is estimated to be minimal due to the
Companys shift in strategy away from the business.
25
Fair Value Gain (Loss) on Warrants Revaluation
Certain warrants the Company issued as part of its financing activities have features that
require them to be treated as a derivative in accordance with EITF 00-19, Accounting for
Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock.
In addition to recognizing the value of the warrants by discounting the related debt and
amortizing the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt, the value of the warrants
are recognized as liabilities and revalued at the end of each period. The fair values of these
warrants are determined based on the Black-Scholes model, Changes in fair values are charged to the
Statements of Operations. Generally, if the Companys stock price increase, the fair value of the
warrants increases, causing the liability to increase and resulting in loss, and vice versa. Fair
value gain (loss) on warrants revaluation was approximately $41,962,000 and $(32,012,000) for the
years ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively. The gain in fiscal 2006 is a result of
the stock price decrease while the loss in fiscal 2005 was mainly a result of the issuance of the
warrants below their fair value. The gain (loss) relates to the change in the fair value of the
warrants relating to the Series C Preferred Stock, Senior Notes, Subordinated Notes, Fortress, DCI
Master LDC and the Convertible Notes, based on the Black-Scholes pricing model.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by $797,000 to $9.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2006 from
$8.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to Series D Preferred
Stock paid as penalty of $1,091,000, and cash and accrued interest of $3.3 million. The increase
was partially offset by the decrease in amortization of the fair value of the warrants of $2.7
million and the decrease in amortization of the deferred financing costs of $870,000.
Net Operating Loss Carryforwards
The Company has a U.S. Federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $55,614,000 as
of June 30, 2006, which may be used to reduce taxable income in future years through the year 2026.
The deferred tax asset primarily resulting from net operating losses was approximately $22,136,000.
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 year ended June 30, 2006, cash provided by operating activities was approximately
$133,000. Our net income $19.4 million was offset by gain on warrants revaluation of $42 million.
In addition, components of cash used for operating activities included non-cash interest expense of
$5.8 million, goodwill impairment of $5.2 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $2.9
million, and non-cash compensation expense of $1.1 million, increase in deferred revenue of $6.7
million, and increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $771,000. The Company also
acquired additional cash through various credit and note agreements described below. Approximately
$17.1 million was used to fund acquisitions, and approximately $10.6 million was used to repay the
principal portion of the outstanding debt.
In fiscal 2006, Halo raised approximately $28.8 million, of which $25 million was from the
issuance of senior notes and $3.8 million from issuance of convertible promissory notes.
On January 31, 2005, Halo issued $2,500,000 principal amount of subordinated convertible
promissory notes (the Subordinated Notes). The Subordinated Notes bear interest at 10%, payable
in common stock or cash, and mature January 31, 2007. The Subordinated Notes are convertible at any
time into shares of Halo common stock at $1.00 per share, which conversion rate is subject to
certain anti-dilution adjustments. The common stock issuable upon conversion of the Subordinated
Notes has certain registration rights.
Halo entered into a $50,000,000 credit facility with Fortress Credit Opportunities I LP and
Fortress Credit Corp. on August 2, 2005 (the Credit Agreement). Subject to the terms and
conditions of the Credit Agreement, the lenders thereunder (the
Lenders) agreed to make
available to Halo a term loan facility in three Tranches, Tranches A, B and C, in an aggregate
amount equal to $50,000,000 (the Loan). In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement,
Halo
26
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 or 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 June 30, 2006, the
Company is in compliance with these financial covenants. The Company anticipates that due to recent
transactions, certain of the covenants under the Credit Agreement
may have to be modified in the future 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 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 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
exercised this right and received 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 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.
27
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 Series E Notes and Series E
Subscription Agreements below. Under the Series E Subscription Agreement, Mr. Howitt 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 he had invested the amount invested in such
securities. Mr. Howitt has exercised this right and received 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 January 2006 Subscription Agreements.
On October 26, 2005, as part of the acquisition of Tesseract, Halo issued to Platinum Equity,
LLC, a promissory note in the amount of $1,750,000 (the Platinum Note). The Platinum Note was
issued in a related party transaction. 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 originally
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.
Additionally, under the Tesseract Merger Agreement, Halo was required to pay Platinum a
working capital adjustment of $1,000,000. Since this amount was not paid by November 30, 2005,
Platinum 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. As of June 30, 2006,
Halo has accrued and expensed approximately $350,000 for 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.
Subsequently, the parties have engaged in discussions to further modify the terms of the amounts
owed to Platinum. Platinum has indicated it will waive any current breaches of these obligations,
but the parties have not yet entered into any definitive agreement. However, in the event Platinum
does not agree to modify such terms, the Company would be in breach of such agreements.
On October 21, 2005, Halo entered into certain convertible promissory notes to various
accredited investors (the October 2005 Notes) in the aggregate principal amount of One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000). Interest accrues under the October 2005 Notes at the rate of ten percent
(10%) per annum. The principal amount of the October 2005 Notes, together with accrued interest,
was due February 19, 2006, or 90 days after the date it was entered into, unless the October 2005
Notes were converted into debt or equity securities of Halo in Halos next financing involving
sales by Halo of a class of its preferred stock or convertible debt securities, or any other
similar or equivalent financing transaction. Five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) in principal
amount (plus accrued interest) of the October 2005 Notes was repaid by Halo in early March.

On January 11, 2006, the holder of the remaining $500,000 October 2005 Note converted the
$500,000 principal (plus accrued interest) under this October 2005 Note into the Series E
Subscription Agreement described under 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 exercised 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 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 ensure 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.
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 exercised this right and received 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 January 2006 Subscription Agreements.
Series E Subscription Agreement
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 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.
29
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 exercised the right described above
and received 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 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
nonassessable shares of Halos common stock equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount due
under the January 2006 Convertible Note plus the amount of all accrued but unpaid interest on the
January 2006 Convertible Note divided by $1.25, and (ii) warrants (the January 2006 Warrants) to
purchase a number of shares of Halos common stock equal to 75% of such number of shares of common
stock. The January 2006 Convertible Notes shall so convert automatically (Mandatory Conversion)
and with no action on the part of the holder on their Original Maturity Date to the extent that
upon such conversion, the total number of shares of common stock then beneficially owned by such
holder does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Halo common
stock. For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In the event that a
portion of the principal and interest under the January 2006 Convertible Notes has not been
converted on the first Mandatory Conversion (and the holder has not demanded payment), there will
be subsequent mandatory conversions until all of the principal and interest has been converted,
provided that at each such Mandatory Conversion the total number of shares of common stock then
beneficially owned by such lender does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and
outstanding shares of common stock. Prior to any such mandatory conversion the holder may at its
option by writing to Halo, convert all or a portion of the principal and interest due under such
holders January 2006 Convertible Notes into common stock and January 2006 Warrants provided that
at each such conversion the total number of shares of common stock then beneficially owned by such
holder does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Halo common
stock. By written notice to Halo, each holder may waive the foregoing limitations on conversion but
any such waiver will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to Halo. On
July 21, 2006, the January 2006 Convertible Notes and the January 2006 Warrants were converted into
Halo common stock.
January 2006 Subscription Agreements
Also on January 27 and January 30, 2006, Halo entered into certain Subscription Agreements
(the January 2006 Subscription Agreements) for the sale of the January 2006 Convertible Notes
and the underlying common stock and January 2006 Warrants.
30
The material terms of the January 2006 Subscription Agreements are as follows. Halo and the
investors under the January 2006 Subscription Agreements made certain representations and
warranties customary in private financings, including representations from the Investors that they
are accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (Regulation D) under the
Securities Act.
The January 2006 Subscription Agreements further provide that Halo 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 Halo. Halo agreed that it will maintain the registration statement
effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) the date that all of the Registrable
Shares have been sold pursuant to such registration statement, (ii) all Registrable Shares have
been otherwise transferred to persons who may trade such shares without restriction under the
Securities Act, or (iii) all Registrable Shares may be sold at any time, without volume or manner
of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the
Securities Act.
Upon the completion of the offering under the January 2006 Subscription Agreements, with a
full round of investment of $10,000,000, the investors will have the right for 15 months after the
final closing to invest, in the aggregate an additional $10,000,000 in common stock of Halo. The
price of such followon 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 Halo has issued a total of $5,000,000 of January 2006 Convertible Notes, the
investors will be able to invest up to 50% of the amount which they may invest pursuant to this
follow-on right; subsequent to the completion of the full round of $10,000,000 the investors may
invest the remainder of the amount which they may invest pursuant to this follow-on right.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the January 2006 Subscription Agreements, the
number of shares of common stock that may be acquired by any investor upon any exercise of this
follow-on right (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure
that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of common stock then
beneficially owned by such investor and its Affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial
ownership of common stock would be aggregated with such investor for purposes of Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of
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.
In addition to the $1,375,000 in January 2006 Convertible Notes issued January 27 and January
30, 2006, pursuant to the January 2006 Subscription Agreements, the following investors have
exercised their rights to accept the terms of the January 2006 Subscription Agreements in lieu of
the Series E Subscription Agreements:
|
|
|
the holder of the $500,000 principal amount September 2005 Note; |
|
|
|
|
the holder of the $500,000 principal amount October 2005 Note that is still outstanding; |

After the end of the fiscal year, all of these amounts have converted into common stock and
warrants pursuant to the terms of the January 2006 Subscription Agreements. See, Subsequent
Events Issuance of Common Stock and Warrants below.

thereof, each of Michael W. Johnson, Jeffrey D. Peotter, Allan R. Spies and Duane Wentworth
(collectively, the Stockholders) each a stockholder and director of InfoNow, had entered into a

On July 21, 2006, Halo issued an aggregate of 2,732,392 shares of common stock in conversion
of (1) an aggregate of $1,850,000 invested Halo (and $126,041.67 of interest on such amount) as
described in the Halos Current Report on Form 8-K filed January 18, 2006, and (2) an aggregate of
$1,375,000 (and $64,444.44 of interest on such amount) invested in Halo as described in the Halos

32
Agreement and Plan of Merger with Tenebril, Inc.
On August 24, 2006 Halo entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Tenebril
Agreement) with Tenebril Acquisition Sub, Inc., (Merger Sub) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, Tenebril Inc., (Tenebril or the Target), and Sierra Ventures, as agent for the Target
stockholders (the Stockholders Agent).
Under the terms of the Tenebril Agreement, Tenebril was merged with and into the Merger Sub
(the Merger) with Tenebril surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. At the
effective time of the Merger, the shares of Target Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the effective time were converted into promissory notes issued by Halo (each, a Tenebril
Note and collectively, the Tenebril Notes). The aggregate original principal amount of all
Tenebril Notes issued by Halo was $3,000,000.
The Tenebril Notes are due February 15, 2007, and accrue interest at a rate equal to eight and
one-quarter percent (8.25%) per annum. At the Company option, the Company may convert some or all
of the amount due under the Tenebril Notes into shares of Common Stock of the Company. The number
of shares issued upon conversion will be the total amount being converted divided by the Conversion
Price then in effect. The Conversion Price is 85% of the Market Price as defined in the Tenebril
Notes.
At the Closing, the Company also delivered to the Target Broker a promissory note (the Target
Broker Promissory Note). The Target Broker Promissory Note was in the original principal amount of
$110,000, plus applicable interest, and is due on February 15, 2007.
Under the Tenebril Agreement, Tenebril made certain customary representations and warranties
to the Company concerning Tenebril and the Company made certain customary representations and
warranties to Tenebril. The Tenebril Agreement contains indemnity terms which provide that each
party shall indemnify the other party for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants
made under the agreement, provided that neither party shall be required to pay any damages unless
the aggregate amount of all damages exceeds certain limits and provided further that neither party
shall be liable for damages in excess of certain limits.
Also on August 24, 2006, the Company entered into an Investors Agreement (the Tenebril
Investors Agreement) with the Target Stockholders. This agreement provides for the registration
of shares of the Companys Common Stock in the event the Company issues shares upon conversion of
the Tenebril Notes. Under the Tenebril Investors Agreement, the Company shall, within thirty (30)
days after the issuance of such shares (the Registrable Shares), prepare and file a registration
statement on Form SB-2 or an equally suitable registration statement (the Registration Statement)
for the purpose of registering all of the Registrable Shares for resale. Such Registration
Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the 1933 Act and the rules promulgated
thereunder (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock
resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the
Registrable Securities. The Company agreed 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. The Company also agreed to use its best efforts to keep the
Registration Statement effective (the Effectiveness Period) (subject to reasonable blackout
provisions as may be required in order to comply with the securities laws) 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 of the Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement are
sold; or (iii) the date when Rule 144(k) is available with respect to all of the securities covered
by such Registration Statement.
A copy of the Tenebril Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.127 to the Companys Current Report
on Form 8-K filed August 30, 2006, and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the form of
Tenebril Notes is attached as Exhibit 10.128, to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed
August 30, 2006 and is incorporated herein by reference and a copy of the Tenebril Investors
Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.129 to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed August
30, 2006, and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Tenebril
Agreement, the Tenebril Notes and the Tenebril Investors Agreement is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the agreements.
Amendment to Current Report on Form 8-K Regarding Third Quarter Earnings
In the Companys fiscal 2006 third quarter earnings release, dated May 15, 2006, and furnished
to the SEC as a Current Report on Form 8-K on May 15, 2006, the Company reported that it had
achieved positive cash flow from operations and that it was generating positive operating cash
flow (on a pro forma EBITDA basis). In making this statement, the Company included in its
calculation of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) historical
deferred revenues from acquired companies (as recorded on the historical financial statements of
the
33
acquired companies prior to acquisition) without giving effect to the deferred revenue fair
value reduction required by GAAP and purchase accounting when concluding that its cash flow on a
pro forma EBITDA basis was positive for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Without the inclusion of
this historical deferred revenues from acquired companies or if the Company had given effect to the
deferred revenue fair value reduction, the Company would not have reported positive cash flow
from operations on an EBITDA basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. After discussions with the
Companys independent auditors and staff at the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company has
agreed not to use the measure pro forma EBITDA basis. The Company has amended its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006 to remove pro forma information
with respect to Deferred Revenues included in the Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the heading Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
Restatements of Periodic Reports
In the course of responding to comments received from the SEC in connection with the Companys
registration statement on Form S-4 filed April 5, 2006, and amended on June 1, 2006, the Company
identified errors resulting from the improper treatment of certain warrants to acquire common stock
of the Company. The Company had treated the warrants as equity, but the warrants should have been
treated as liabilities.
Accordingly, on September 1, 2006, the Companys Board of Directors determined that investors
should not rely on the Companys (a) consolidated financial statements for the period ended June
30, 2005 and the report thereon of the Companys independent registered public accountants,
included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC on September 28. 2005,
(b) condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2005, included
in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB filed with the SEC on November 14, 2005, (c)
condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2005, included in the
Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB filed with the SEC on February 15, 2006, and (d)
condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2006, included in the
Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB filed with the SEC on May 15, 2006. The Board of
Directors subsequently determined that investors should not rely on the Companys condensed
consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2005, included in the Companys
Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB filed with the SEC on May 20, 2005.
As a result of these determinations, the Company has amended its Annual Report for the year
ended June 30, 2005 and its Quarterly Reports for the interim periods ended March 31, 2006,
December 31, 2005, September 30, 2005, and March 31, 2005. The amended Annual Report and the
amended Quarterly Reports were filed with the SEC on October 11, 2006. The Companys Board of
Directors have discussed these matters with the Companys independent registered public accounting
firm.
The effects of these restatements on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the twelve
months ended June 30, 2005 and the three months ended March 31, 2006 are as follows:

director to the Companys board of directors. The Company shall recommend that its shareholders
approve such nomination at any shareholders meeting for the election of directors or in connection
with any written consent of shareholders of the election of directors.

minimum of 25% within six (6) months of the Closing and represented that it shall use at least $5
million of the estimated $6 million in proceeds from the sale of its Gupta subsidiary to reduce the
amount of its indebtedness to Fortress Credit Corp.

The Company will not permit the aggregate amount of Capital Expenditures by the Group during
any twelve month period to exceed US$300,000.
All defined terms have the meanings set forth in the Amendment Agreement.
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 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
36
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 requirements as of June 30,2006 was a deficit of approximately $23.2
million, comprised primarily of accounts payable and accrued expenses, $8.1 million, deferred
revenue, $13.4 million, and short-term debt, $7.6 million, which was partially offset by cash
$853,000, accounts receivable, $4.1 million, and other prepaid expenses, $996,000. 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.
The material
increase in our capital requirements for the fiscal year, ended 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 June 30, 2006, Halo employed 234 people. Our
accounts payable and accrued expenses similarly increased, rising from $4.6 million on June 30,
2005 to $8.1 million as of June 30, 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 expects its spending
on research and development in the current fiscal year to remain consistent with the level of such expenditures in the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, subject to changes in operations due to acquisitions or sales of subsidiary
companies.
The Company
anticipates further material increases in its operating costs for the current
fiscal 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; and |
|
|
|
|
making possible investments in businesses, products and technologies. |
Given our current cash position, and
our expectations of cash flows from operations, we anticipate
requiring additional working capital of approximately $4 to $6 million for the year ending
June 30, 2007 of which we have received $1.5 million in a transaction completed October 12, 2006, see Subsequent
Events Subordinated Debt Financing. 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
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.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Companys financial condition and results of
operations is based on the Companys consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of
these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent
liabilities.
On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue
recognition and accounting for intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience
and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual
results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We have identified the accounting policies below as the policies critical to the
Companys business operations and the understanding of the Companys results of operations. We
believe the following critical accounting policies and the related judgments and estimates affect
the preparation of Guptas consolidated financial statements:
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition.
Revenues are derived from the licensing of software, maintenance contracts, training, and
other consulting services.
37
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 is measured by the renewal rate offered to the customer.
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 the Company in accordance with EITF 01-03, Accounting in
a Business Combination for Deferred Revenue of an Acquiree. Under this guidance, the Company
estimates fair values of acquired deferred revenue by adding an approximated normal profit margin
to the estimated cost required to fulfill the obligation underlying the deferred revenue. As a
result of this valuation, the deferred revenues of the acquired companies normally decrease
substantially. In the enterprise software industry, this reduction averages between forty to sixty
percent of the original balance. The reduction of the deferred revenue has a negative effect on the
recognized revenue until the deferred revenue balance builds up to a normal level of the acquired
business. The length of this effect depends on contracts underlying the deferred revenue. As the
Company continues to acquire more businesses in the enterprise software industry, the effect of
this deferred revenue valuation will have significant effect on the Companys results of
operations.
Product Development Costs
Product development costs incurred in the process of developing product improvements and
enhancements or new products are charged to expense as incurred. Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or
Otherwise Marketed, requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the
establishment of technological feasibility. Based on the Companys product development process,
technological feasibility is established upon the completion of a working model. Costs incurred by
the Company between the completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready
for general release has been insignificant.
38
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 June 30, 2006,
goodwill was approximately $28 million, representing approximately 47% of our total assets and
approximately 52% of our long-lived assets subject to depreciation, amortization and impairment. In
the future, goodwill may increase as a result of additional acquisitions we will make. Goodwill is
recorded on the date of acquisition and is reviewed at least annually for impairment. Impairment
may result from, among other things, deterioration in the performance of our business, adverse
market conditions and a variety of other circumstances. Any future determination requiring the
write-off of a significant portion of the goodwill recorded on our balance sheet could have an
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. As of years ended June 30,
2006 and 2005, the Company had goodwill impairment charges of $5.2 million and $3.9 million,
respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company used the intrinsic value method to account for
stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25),
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and had adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation Ì 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 year ended June 30, 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.

ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
As of June 30, 2006, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and
with the participation of the Companys management, including Rodney A. Bienvenu, Jr., the
Companys principal executive officer, and Mark Finkel, the Companys principal financial officer,
of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined
in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15(d)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)
39
pursuant to Rule 13a-15(d) and 15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, Messrs.
Bienvenu and Finkel have each concluded that, as of June 30, 2006, the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the
Company in reports that it files, furnishes or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis except as follows:
A material control weakness is a significant deficiency or a combination of significant
deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement in
financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by employees in the normal
course of their work. As of June 30, 2006, the management has identified that one of the Companys
subsidiaries, Process Software, LLC (Process), has a material control weakness in its revenue
recognition process.
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. Under SOP 97-2,
service revenue for maintenance contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the
agreement. Process sometimes started this ratable recognition earlier or later than the actual
contract date while it recognized the revenue over a shorter or longer period on other occasions.
These resulted in improper revenue recognition, either understating or overstating the revenue and
earnings. Process also demonstrated inconsistency in recording accounts receivable. The Company
usually invoices its customers either on receipt of a purchase order or on signing of a contract.
The invoiced amount is recorded as accounts receivable as of the invoice date. Process sometimes
recorded accounts receivable earlier or later than the actual invoice date, resulting in over or
understatement of accounts receivable. Process lacked the discipline and training of the personnel
who record its sales transactions. It also lacked the monitoring process to mitigate these
weaknesses.
These material weaknesses impacted our ability to properly record and report the financial
results during the fiscal year 2006. However, the Companys management is actively engaged in
remediation efforts to address this material weaknesses identified in our internal control over
financial reporting. The Company has transitioned sales invoicing responsibilities from
non-accounting personnel to accounting personnel better trained to process such documents. The
Company is also in the process of implementing a new accounting system, which the Company
anticipates will enable the Company to monitor ongoing activities without increasing staff level.
The total net adjustments as a result of this weakness was less than $35,000 in the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2006.
The Companys management believes that the Company will be able to improve our disclosure
controls and procedures and remedy the identified material weaknesses. Because of the inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be or have been detected. These inherent
limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that
breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented
by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management
override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design
will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time,
control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective
control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may not occur and not be detected
The changes in our internal control over financial reporting described above were
implemented subsequent to the year ended June 30, 2006. There were no changes in our internal
control over financial reporting identified in managements evaluation during the fiscal year to
which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
In the course of responding to comments received from the SEC in connection with the Companys
registration statement on Form S-4 filed April 5, 2006, and amended on June 1, 2006, the Company
identified errors resulting from the improper treatment of certain warrants to acquire common stock
of the Company in accordance with EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments
Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock.. The Company had treated the
warrants as equity, but the warrants should have been treated as liabilities.
Accordingly, on September 1, 2006, the Companys Board of Directors determined that investors
should not rely on the Companys (a) consolidated financial statements for the period ended June
30, 2005 and the report thereon of the Companys independent registered public accountants,
included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC on September 28. 2005,
(b) condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2005, included
in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB filed with the SEC on November 14, 2005, (c)
condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2005, included in the
Companys Quarterly
40
Report on Form 10-QSB filed with the SEC on February 15, 2006, and (d) condensed consolidated
financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2006, included in the Companys Quarterly
Report on Form 10-QSB filed with the SEC on May 15, 2006. The Board of Directors subsequently
determined that investors should not rely on the Companys condensed consolidated financial
statements for the period ended March 31, 2005, included in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form
10-QSB filed with the SEC on May 20, 2005.
As a result of these determinations, the Company has amended its Annual Report for the year
ended June 30, 2005 and its Quarterly Reports for the interim periods ended March 31, 2006,
December 31, 2005, September 30, 2005, and March 31, 2005. The amended Annual Report and the
amended Quarterly Reports were filed with the SEC on October 11, 2006. The Companys Board of
Directors have discussed these matters with the Companys independent registered public accounting
firm.
In the Companys fiscal 2006 third quarter earnings release, dated May 15, 2006, and furnished
to the SEC as a Current Report on Form 8-K on May 15, 2006, the Company reported that it had
achieved positive cash flow from operations and that it was generating positive operating cash
flow (on a pro forma EBITDA basis). In making this statement, the Company included in its
calculation of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) historical
deferred revenues from acquired companies (as recorded on the historical financial statements of
the acquired companies prior to acquisition) without giving effect to the deferred revenue fair
value reduction required by GAAP and purchase accounting when concluding that its cash flow on a
pro forma EBITDA basis was positive for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Without the inclusion of
this historical deferred revenues from acquired companies or if the Company had given effect to the
deferred revenue fair value reduction, the Company would not have reported positive cash flow
from operations on an EBITDA basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. After discussions with the
Companys independent auditors and staff at the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company has
agreed not to use the measure pro forma EBITDA basis. The Company has amended its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006 to remove pro forma information
with respect to Deferred Revenues included in the Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the heading Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Halo Technology Holdings, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Halo Technology Holdings,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders equity (deficit) 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 Halo Technology Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries
as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, 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.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Halo Technology
Holding, Inc. and subsidiaries will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1
to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses and has a working
capital deficiency at June 30, 2006. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys
ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also
described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Halo Technology Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Organization, Merger, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Halo Technology Holdings, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the Company or Halo)
is a Nevada corporation with its principal executive office in Greenwich, Connecticut. The Company
changed its name to Halo Technology Holdings, Inc. from Warp Technology Holdings, Inc, effective
April 2, 2006. As a consequence of the name change, the Companys ticker symbol quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board changed from WARP to HALO. The new symbol has been effective since the open of
business on Monday, April 3, 2006.
The Company is a holding company whose subsidiaries operate enterprise software and
information technology businesses. In addition to holding its existing subsidiaries, the Companys
strategy is to pursue acquisitions of businesses which either complement the Companys existing
businesses or expand the industries in which the Company operates.
On January 31, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of Gupta Technologies, LLC
(together with its subsidiaries, Gupta). Gupta is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
and Guptas wholly owned subsidiaries, Gupta Technologies GmbH, a German corporation, and Gupta
Technologies Ltd., a U.K. company, have become indirect subsidiaries of the Company.
Gupta develops, markets and supports software products that enable software programmers to
create enterprise class applications, operating on either the Microsoft Windows or Linux operating
systems that are used in large and small businesses and governmental entities around the world.
Guptas products include a popular database application and a well-known set of application
development tools. The relational database product allows companies to manage data closer to the
customer, where capturing and organizing information is becoming increasingly critical. This
product is designed for applications being deployed in situations where there are little or no
technical resources to support and administer databases or applications. Gupta recently released
its Linux product line. Compatible with its existing Microsoft Windows-based product line, the
Linux line of products will enable developers to write one application to run in both Microsoft
Windows and Linux operating systems. Gupta has headquarters in California, and has a regional
office in Munich and sales offices in London and Paris.
On September 13, 2006, the Company entered into a Purchase and Exchange Agreement with Unify
Corporation whereby the Company agreed to sell Gupta to Unify in exchange for (i) Unifys risk
management software and solution business as conducted by Unify through its Acuitrek, Inc.
subsidiary (Acuitrek) and its Insurance Risk Management division, including, without limitation,
the Acuitrek business and the NavRisk product (the NavRisk Business), (ii) Unifys ViaMode
software product and related intellectual property rights (the ViaMode Product), (iii) 5,000,000
shares of Unify common stock, (iv) warrants to acquire 750,000 shares of Unify stock, (v)
$5,000,000 in cash, of which Halo has received $500,000 as a deposit (the Deposit), and (vi) the
amount by which the Gupta Net Working Capital exceeds the NavRisk Net Working Capital (as such
terms are defined in the Unify Purchase Agreement, the Working Capital Adjustment). The sale of
Gupta is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
Warp Solutions, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, produces a series of
application acceleration products that improve the speed and efficiency of transactions and
information requests that are processed over the internet and intranet network systems. The
subsidiarys suite of software products and technologies are designed to accelerate network
applications, reduce network congestion, and reduce the cost of expensive server deployments for
enterprises engaged in high volume network activities.
On July 6, 2005 the Company purchased Kenosia Corporation (Kenosia). Kenosia is a software
company whose products include its DataAlchemy product line. DataAlchemy is a sales and marketing
analytics platform that is utilized by global companies to drive retail sales and profits through
timely and effective analysis of transactional data. Kenosias installed customers span a wide
range of industries, including consumer packaged goods, entertainment, pharmaceutical, automotive,
spirits, wine and beer, brokers and retailers.
On October 26, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of Tesseract and four other
software companies, DAVID Corporation, Process Software, ProfitKey International, and Foresight
Software, Inc. (collectively Process and Affiliates).
F-11

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.
On January 13, 2006, the Company acquired Empagio, Inc. (Emgagio). Empagio delivers
innovative on-demand human resources information systems through its SymphonyHR platform.
SymphonyHR empowers both large and mid-sized organizations to deliver unparalleled HR services to
their employees, while decreasing administrative burden. Featuring 100% on-shore service delivery
and native web architecture, SymphonyHR is one of the most comprehensive, dependable, and
affordable human resources solutions available for automating HR procedures and reducing paperwork,
ranging from payroll to benefits administration.
On March 1, 2006, the Company acquired Executive Consultants, Inc (ECI). ECI is an HR
professional services firm providing implementation and consulting services for HR, payroll and
payroll systems.
Tesseract and ECI have subsequently been merged into Empagio. The combination of the
subsidiaries will operate in the HRMS industry, boasting an impressive roster of Fortune 1000
enterprise customers and more than two million customer employees benefited from Empagios
solutions. The merged company will be called Empagio and will be headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
On August 24, 2006, the Company purchased Tenebril. Tenebril is a Boston-based software
company providing award-winning Internet and spyware protection to consumers and organizations.
Tenebrils SpyCatcher(TM) Enterprise is the first and only spyware solution that protects
enterprise computers from the most insidious category of evasive threats hyper-mutating and
custom-coded spyware. Tenebrils patent-pending Spyware
Profiling Engine(TM) differentiates
SpyCatcher from its competitors by providing continuous protection that defeats these newly
emerging threats.
On September 15, 2006 the Company acquired an Illinois-based software company, Revcast.
Revcast provides forecasting and replenishment solutions to some of the largest manufacturers in
the world. Revcasts flagship product, Integrated Merchandising Solution (IMS), is being used today
by several manufacturers that work with Wal-Mart and other major retailers, which share direct POS
information.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred recurring operating losses since its inception, as of June 30, 2006,
had an accumulated deficit of approximately $94,605,000, and, at June 30, 2006, had insufficient
working capital to fund all of its obligations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments to reflect the possible future effect of the recoverability and classification of
assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
The Companys continuation as a going concern is dependant upon receiving additional
financing. Given the Companys current cash position, and its expectations of cash flows from
operations, the Company anticipates requiring additional working
capital of approximately $4 to
$6 million for the year ending June 30, 2007. The Company expects to pursue equity or debt
financing in order to meet these capital needs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in such efforts. In the absence of such further financing, the Company will either
be unable to meet its debt obligations or 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.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Halo and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, (collectively the Company). All inter-company transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Marketable Securities
The Companys marketable securities are comprised of securities of a public corporate entity as of
June 30, 2006. All investments are classified as available for sale and are recorded at market
using the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses were included as a separate
component of stockholders equity. Realized gains and losses will be reflected in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations once the securities are sold.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is
provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from
three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser
of their estimated useful lives or the life of the underlying lease.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition.
Revenues are derived from the licensing of software, maintenance contracts,
training, and other consulting services.
In arrangements that include rights to multiple software products and/or services,
the Company allocates and defers revenue for the undelivered items, based on vendor-specific
objective evidence of fair value, and recognizes the difference between the total arrangement fee
and the amount deferred for the undelivered items as revenue. Vendor specific objective evidence of
fair value for undelivered elements of an arrangement is based upon the normal pricing and
discounting practices for those products and services when sold separately and for maintenance
contracts, is additionally measured by the renewal rate offered to the customer. In arrangements in
which the Company does not have vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value of maintenance,
and maintenance is the only undelivered item, the Company recognizes the total arrangement fee
ratably over the contractual maintenance term.
Software license revenues are recognized upon receipt of a purchase order and
delivery of software, provided that the license fee is fixed or determinable; no significant
production, modification, or customization of the software is required; and collection is
considered probable by management. For licensing of Companys software through its indirect sales
channel, revenue is recognized when the distributor sells the software to its end-users, including
value-added resellers. For licensing of software to independent software vendors, revenue is
recognized upon shipment to the independent software vendors.
Service revenue for maintenance contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the
agreement. Revenue from training and other consulting services is recognized as the related
services are performed.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes costs related to product and service revenue and amortization of
acquired developed technology. Cost of product revenue includes material, packaging, shipping, and
other production costs. Cost of service revenue includes salaries, benefits, and overhead costs
associated with employees providing maintenance and technical support, training, and consulting
services. Third-party consultant fees are also included in cost of service revenue.
F-13
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 operations.
Reclassification.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2005 financial statements to conform to
the 2006 presentation.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or
less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Intangible assets are primarily comprised of customer relationships, developed
technology, trade names and contracts. Goodwill represents acquisition costs in excess of the net
assets of businesses acquired. In accordance with SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
goodwill is no longer amortized; instead goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis. The
Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangibles and goodwill whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company
considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
|
|
|
Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; |
|
|
|
|
Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and |
|
|
|
|
Significant negative industry or economic trends. |
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. As of June 30, 2006, the
Company determined
that the net assets of Gupta was in excess of the amount of anticipated cash flow generated by the
business. Based on a discounted cash flow analysis, the Company determined that $5.2 million of goodwill has been impaired.
Intangible assets, subject to amortization, are being amortized over
their estimated useful lives of three to ten years.
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 the Company in
F-14
accordance with EITF 01-03, Accounting in a Business Combination for Deferred Revenue of an
Acquiree. Under this guidance, the Company estimates fair values of acquired deferred revenue by
adding an approximated normal profit margin to the estimated cost required to fulfill the
obligation underlying the deferred revenue. As a result of this valuation, the deferred revenues of
the acquired companies normally decrease substantially. In the enterprise software industry, this
reduction averages between forty to sixty percent of the original balance. The reduction of the
deferred revenue has a negative effect on the recognized revenue until the deferred revenue balance
builds up to a normal level of the acquired business. The length of this effect depends on
contracts underlying the deferred revenue. As the Company continues to acquire more businesses in
the enterprise software industry, the effect of this deferred revenue valuation will have
significant effect on the Companys results of operations.
Concentration of Risk
Cash
The company maintains cash balances at several banks. Accounts at each institution are
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.
Accounts Receivable
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration
of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing 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.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized with respect to the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts for financial statement purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of the 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
Deferred financing costs, which are mainly costs associated with the Companys Senior
Notes and the Companys Subordinated Notes, are amortized over the term of the notes on a
straight-line basis.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share information for all periods is presented
under the requirements of SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic income (loss) per share is
calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the
weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per
F-15
share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the
weighted-average common shares outstanding.
The Company computed its basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share as follows:

For the year ended June 30, 2006 warrants to purchase 169,576 common shares and stock options
to purchase 10,250 common shares, were not included in the diluted earnings per share computation
as the exercise prices were above the average market price. Additionally, 401,828 stock options to
purchase common stock were excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation as they are
only exercisable if certain contingencies are met. The dilutive effect of preferred stock, warrants
and options convertible into an aggregate of approximately 32,153,869 common stocks for the year
ended June 30, 2005 are not included as the inclusion of such would be anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company used the intrinsic value method to
account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
(ABP 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) (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)) which eliminates the use of APB 25 and
the intrinsic value method of accounting, and 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, in the financial statements. The Company has adopted the modified prospective
method whereby compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the
effective date based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after
that date and for all unvested awards granted prior to that date. Accordingly the prior period
amounts have not been restated.
The Companys net income and earnings would have been reduced for the years ended June 30,
2006 and 2005 had compensation costs for the Companys stock option grants been determined based on
the fair value at the date of the grant dates for awards under these plans in accordance with SFAS
123(R). The proforma amounts have been as follows:

The fair values for these options were estimated at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective
assumptions. Because the Companys employee stock has characteristics significantly different from
those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially
affect the fair value estimate, in managements opinion, the existing models do not necessarily
provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
The company used the following weighted-average assumptions in the years ended June 30, 2006 and
June 30, 2005:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of significant financial instruments, which includes cash, accounts
receivable, subordinated note, senior note, warrant liabilities, the amount due to ISIS, accounts
payable and accrued expenses and notes payable approximated fair value as of June 30, 2006 due to
their short-term maturities or the variable rate of interests.
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. For the Company, SFAS No. 123 (R) is effective as of
January 1, 2006. The Company did not apply this method to prior periods. The impact on this new
standard, if it had been in effect prior to January 1, 2006 is disclosed above in Note 2 Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies Stock Based Compensation.
On March 29, 2005, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC or the Staff)
issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment (SAB 107). Although not altering
any conclusions reached in SFAS 123(R), SAB 107 provides the views of the Staff regarding the
interaction between SFAS 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and, among other things,
provide the Staffs views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public
companies. The Company followed 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-
F-18
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.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measures (SFAS 157). SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require
or permit fair value measurements. However, it does not apply to SFAS 123(R). This statement
shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided
that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including
any financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The provisions of this
statement should be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this
Statement is initially applied, except in some circumstances where the statement shall be applied
retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, of SFAS 157 on its
financial statements.

Note 5. Stockholders Equity
Common and Preferred Stock
On February 10, 2004, the Company completed an offering of 1,058 shares of Series B 10%
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the B Shares) with gross proceeds to the Company from the
sales equaling $1,058,000. The B Shares had a purchase price of $1,000.00 per share. The B Shares
have a cumulative dividend of 10% per year, which is payable in cash or stock at the time of
conversion at the election of the Company. The B Share subscribers also received warrants to
purchase a number of common shares equal to 50% of the common shares such subscriber would receive
upon the conversion of their B Shares to common shares. The exercise price of the warrants is
$33.00 per share of common stock and the exercise price is only payable with cash. Under certain
anti-dilution protection rights of the Series B Preferred Stock, the conversion price will adjust
from time to time if the Company issues any shares of Common Stock, or options, warrants, or other
securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, at a purchase price below the conversion
price then in effect. In August 2004, the Company completed its first closing of the Series B-2
offering at an effective price of $5.00 per common share. As a result of the Series B-2 financing,
the conversion price of the Series B Stock was reduced from $18.00 to $5.00, and the Company
recorded a stock dividend to the Series B shareholders for approximately 121,290 shares of common
stock valued at approximately $606,000. In January 2005 in connection with the Series C financing,
the conversion price of all Series B stock was reduced from $5 to $3, and the Company recorded a
dividend to the Series B holders of approximately $2,207,000. In addition, on January 31, 2005 all
of the Series B holders converted all of their Series B stock, accrued dividend and penalties to
common stock.
On August 4, 2004, the Company entered into a Series B-2 Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement
(the Purchase Agreement). The Purchase Agreement related to the sale of 1,600 shares (the Series
B-2 Preferred Shares) of the Companys authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, $0.00001
par value per share, designated Series B-2 Preferred Stock (the Series B-2 Preferred Stock) at a
purchase price of $1,000 per share, and warrants, exercisable over five (5) years, to purchase an
aggregate of 1,600 shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock (the Warrants and together with the
shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, collectively, the Securities) to investors. The aggregate
purchase price for the Securities was $1,600,000, of which $1,474,500 was received by December
31,2004 and the remainder of $125,500 was received by the Company in January 2005. The Company
incurred approximately $20,000 in dividends for the year ended June 30, 2005 to the Series B-2
shareholders. The number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion shall be equal to the
Series B-2 Face Amount, which is initially equal to the per share purchase price of $1,000, plus
any accrued but unpaid dividends, divided by the conversion price, which was initially set at
$5.00. Under certain anti-dilution protection rights of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, the
conversion price will adjust from time to time if the Company issues any shares of Common Stock, or
options, warrants, or other securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, at a purchase
price below $5.00 per share, and will also be adjusted for any stock splits or similar corporate
actions. Under the initial conversion price, each share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock is
convertible into 200 shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, the Company recorded approximately
$539,000 as beneficial conversion relating to this transaction because the fair market value of the
common stock was greater than the conversion price. In January, 2005, in connection with the Series
C financing, the conversion price of the Series B-2 stock was reduced from $5 to $2, and the
Company recorded a stock dividend to the Series B-2 holders valued at approximately $2,280,000. In
addition on January 31, 2005 all of the Series B-2 shareholders converted all of their outstanding
shares into common stock.
On September 19, 2005, the Company issued 8,543 shares of Common Stock valued at $8,543 as a
dividend to a former Series B preferred stockholder to settle a dispute on an inadvertent
conversion.
On December 31, 2005, the Company issued an aggregate of 664,577 shares of Common Stock valued
at $910,470 to former Senior Noteholders and an aggregate of 1,100,000 shares valued at $1,507,000
to former and existing Subordinated Noteholders in exchange for the rescission of certain warrants
as described below in Warrants section of Note 5 Stockholders Equity.
On October 26, 2005, the Company issued 7,045,454 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to
Platinum Equity, LLC (Platinum) pursuant to the Amendment to the Tesseract Merger Agreement.
Under the Amendment, Platinum agreed to retain 909,091 of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock
delivered as part of the Merger Consideration, and to return such shares for cancellation, without
additional consideration from the Company, if the Company repaid the $1,750,000 note on or before
March 31, 2006. On March 31, 2006, the Company paid $1,000,000 to Platinum. Since the entire amount
of the note was not paid by March 31, 2006, the 909,091 shares of Series D Preferred Stock
described above were not returned by Platinum for cancellation and such shares remain outstanding.
The details of these agreements are described in Note 8 Acquisition of Five Software Companies.
F-20
On January 13, 2006, the Company issued 1,438,455 shares of the Companys common stock valued
at $1,869,992 in connection with the acquisition of Empagio, Inc.
On March 1, 2006, the Company issued 330,688 shares of the Companys common stock valued at
$558,863 in connection with the acquisition of Executive Consultants, Inc.
Effective May 15, 2006, the Company received the consent of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock (Series C Stock) of the Company 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 was converted into one share of Common Stock of the Company. The Company amended
the Certificate to reflect the automatic conversion and terminated the Certificate upon conversion
of all outstanding shares of Series C Stock. On June 30, 2006, 13,362,688 shares of Common Stock
were issued for the outstanding Series C Stock being converted. During the twelve months ended June
30, 2006, the total of 14,193,095 Series C Stocks were converted into Common Stock.
Also effective May 15, 2006, the holders of a majority of the warrants issued to holders of
Series C Stock (Series C Warrants) pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, dated January 31,
2005, have agreed to amend and exercise their warrants under the cashless exercise provision
contained in Section 1(c) of the Warrants, resulting in a net issuance of shares of Common Stock
representing 50% of the shares these stockholders would be entitled to under the Warrants. As of
June 30, 2006, these stockholders received 4,300,242 shares of Common Stock under the net exercise
provision upon exercise of 8,600,484 warrants ( for additional information, see under Warrants
below).
During the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company issued and aggregate of 781,192 shares of
Common Stock as Series C Preferred Stock dividends. The dividends periods were April 1, 2005 to
June 30, 2006. The total value of Common Stocks issued was $1,037,372.
During the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company issued and aggregate of 598,252 shares of
Common Stock as Series D Preferred Stock dividends. The dividends periods were October 26, 2005 to
June 30, 2006. The total value of Common Stocks issued was $688,455.
During the year ended June 30 2006, the Company issued 197,400 shares of Common Stock to pay
$288,333 of interest on its Subordinated Notes, which covers the interest period of May 1, 2005 to
April 30, 2006.
Stock Options
As more fully described in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, we adopted
SFAS 123(R) as of January 1, 2006. The deferred compensation recognized from stock options
outstanding from prior periods under the intrinsic value method is reversed as of the same date.
The compensation costs for unvested portion of the outstanding options and awards subsequent to
this effective date will be expensed as period costs over the service requisite periods of the
options based on grant-date fair values.
On September 13, 2005, the Board of Directors granted 158,000 options to the Company CEO,
Rodney A. Bienvenu under the 2002 Plan. Of those options, 39,500 vested on December 31, 2005, and
the remainder vest ratably over the next 36 months. Such options have a term of ten years and have
an exercise price of $1.08 per share. In connection with the options, the Company recorded a
deferred compensation of $42,660. The Company recognized $36,067 in compensation expense for these
options for the year ended June 30, 2006, based on a grant-date fair value estimated by the
Company.
At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company held on October 21, 2005, the
stockholders of the Company approved the Halo Technology Holdings 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the
2005 Plan) previously approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. A copy of the 2005 Plan
was filed as Appendix A to the Companys definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on October 7, 2005. Subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar events,
the total number of shares of common stock that can be delivered under the 2005 Plan is 8,400,000
shares. No employee may receive options, stock appreciation rights, shares or dividend equivalent
rights for more than four million shares during any calendar year.
F-21
Under the 2005 Plan, the Company issued 4,366,000 options to certain employees and directors
of the Company and its subsidiaries. Of those options, 3,366,000 were issued to the Companys
senior management 25% of these options vested on
December 31, 2005, and the remaining portion have or will vest ratably each month during the 36
months thereafter, provided that the employee remains an employee of the Company. 1,000,0000 of the
4,366,000 options were issued to the management of the Companys subsidiaries. These options will
vest based on each subsidiarys performance. The vesting conditions are determined by the
compensation committee. All the options have an exercise price of $1.08 and the term of ten years
except for the options issued to the Companys CEO, Rodney A. Bienvenu, Jr., and the CLO, Ernest C.
Mysogland, which have an exercise price of $1.19 and a term of five years. The Company recognized
$407,176 in compensation expense for these options for the year ended June 30, 2006, based on a
grant-date fair value estimated by the Company. The Company did not recognize compensation cost for
the options issued to the subsidiary management because the Company believes the achievement of the
performance goals is not probable.
On January 4, 2006, the Company issued stock options for 600,000 shares of the Companys
Common Stock to its newly appointed Chief Financial Officer, Mark Finkel, in connection with his
employment by the Company, and under the Halo Technology Holdings 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. The
exercise price for Mr. Finkels options is $1.22 per share. The options granted to Mr. Finkel have
a ten-year term. 25% of these options vest on the first anniversary of the award, provided Mr.
Finkel remains in his position through that date, and the remaining options vest ratably over the
following 36 months, provided that Mr. Finkel remains with the Company. For the year June 30, 2006,
the Company recognized $93,346 of compensation expense for these options.
In addition to the stock options listed above, there are awards granted in prior periods under
2002 Stock Incentive plan that are still outstanding and yet to be vested. For the year ended June
30, 2006, the Company recognized $221,933 in compensation expense for these options.
Detailed information concerning the Companys stock option activities for the years ended
June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 are as follows:

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, valued at $9,265,908 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 June 30, 2006, the Working
Capital Adjustment has not been paid or converted to Series D Preferred Stock. As such, the Company
has accrued $350,000 for the advisory fee as of June 30, 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. Because of this provision, the Company included only the net Series D Preferred Stock
issuance of 6,136,363 shares in the allocation of the purchase price. The value of these shares are
determined to be $9,265,908 using the market price ($1.51 per share) of the Companys common stock
two days prior to and two days subsequent to the acquisition date. The Amendment further provides
that the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series D Preferred Stock will adjust to equal
the rights, preferences and privileges of the next round of financing if such financing is a
Qualified Equity Offering (as defined in the Amendment). If the next round is not a Qualified
Equity Offering, the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series D Preferred Stock will adjust
to equal the rights, preferences and privileges of the next round of financing at the option of the
holder.
F-26
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. In accordance with the Investors Agreement the Company filed a
registration statement with the SEC which is currently under review.
The Series D Stock has the following material terms:
The Series D Stock will be convertible into Common Stock, at the option of the holder, at a
conversion price (the Applicable Conversion Price) that will initially be equal to $1.10.
Accordingly, the Series D Stock is convertible into Common Stock at a ratio equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing the sum of the Series D Face Amount plus any accrued but unpaid dividends by
the applicable Conversion Price, in effect at the time of conversion. However, the ratio is subject
to adjustment pursuant to the anti-dilution protections extended to the holders of Series D Stock.
Under the anti-dilution provisions, in the event the Company issues, at any time while shares of
Series D Stock are still outstanding, shares of Common Stock or any type of securities convertible
or exchangeable for, or otherwise giving a right to acquire, shares of Common Stock, at a price
below the Applicable Conversion Price, then the Applicable Conversion Price will be adjusted to the
price per share equal to the price per share paid for such Common Stock in such subsequent
financing. In addition to the full-ratchet protection, the Applicable Conversion Price will be
equitably adjusted in the event of any stock split, stock dividend or similar change in the
Companys capital structure.
If the Companys market capitalization based on the shares of Common Stock outstanding
(including all shares of Common Stock underlying the Shares of Series D Stock on an as converted
basis) exceeds $50,000,000, the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series D Stock are
registered, and the Company has an average daily trading volume for 20 consecutive trading days of
100,000 shares per day, then the Company may require the holders of Series D Stock to convert the
Series D Stock into Common Stock at the then Applicable Conversion Price.
The holders of shares of Series D Stock will be entitled to receive dividends, at a 13%
annual rate, payable quarterly in arrears beginning on March 21, 2006, either in cash, or at the
election of the Company, in shares of Common Stock. The dividends are preferred dividends, payable
in preference to any dividends which may be declared on the Series A 8% Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock, the Series B 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. Common Stock delivered in payment of dividends will be valued
at 90% of the average of the volume weighted average price for the 20 trading day period ending on
the trading day immediately prior to the date set for payment of the dividend.
Any unconverted and non-redeemed Shares of Series D Stock outstanding on the third
anniversary of the initial issuance of the Series D Stock, will be automatically redeemed on that
date, in cash, at an amount per share equal to the sum of the Series D Face Amount, as adjusted,
plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (subject to equitable adjustment for all stock
splits, stock dividends, or similar events involving a change in the capital structure of the
Company). At issuance, the Series D Preferred stock was recorded at fair value ($1.51 per share)
and accounted for as part of Stockholders Equity since the financial instrument was redeemable
only upon the occurrence of a conditional event in accordance with FASB 150, Accounting for
Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. At June 30,
2006, the Company reclassified the preferred stock at the redemption value since there was a
condition that caused the preferred stock to be mandatorily redeemable. The condition pertained to
the decrease in the stock price substantially below the conversion price.
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.
F-27
The Companys management and the Board of directors believes that the purchase of Tesseract
that resulted in approximately $14,432,000 of goodwill is justified because of Tesseract position
in the marketplace and its record of positive cash flow. The acquired goodwill is not tax
deductible.
The net purchase price for Tesseract was $16,642,408, after certain transaction costs. The

Note 13. Credit Agreement
On August 2, 2005, the Company entered a Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement), with
Fortress Credit Corp. as original lender (together with any additional lenders, the Lenders), and
Fortress Credit Corp. as Agent (the Agent). In addition, the Company entered into a $10,000,000
Promissory Note (the Note) with the Lenders, an Intercreditor
Agreement with the Lenders, the Agent and certain subordinated lenders (the Intercreditor
Agreement), a security agreement with the Agent (the Security Agreement), Pledge Agreements with
the Lender (the Pledge Agreements), and a Warrant Agreement with the Agent (the Warrant
Agreement).
Collectively the Credit Agreement, such other agreements and the subsidiary security
agreements referenced below are referred to as the Financing Documents.
The Credit Agreement and the other Financing Documents have the following material terms:
|
|
|
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders agreed to make
available to the Company a term loan facility in three Tranches, Tranches A, B and C, in an
aggregate amount equal to $50,000,000. |
|
|
|
|
The maximum amount of loans under Tranche A of the credit facility is $10,000,000. The
purpose of amounts borrowed under Tranche A is to refinance certain of the Companys
existing debt and to pay certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing
under the Credit Agreement. |
|
|
|
|
The maximum amount of loans under Tranche B of the credit facility is $15,000,000.
Amounts borrowed under Tranche B may be used only to partially fund the acquisition by the
Company of one or more companies, the acquisition costs related thereto, and other costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement and to finance an agreed amount of
working capital for the companies being acquired. |
|
|
|
|
The maximum amount of loans under Tranche C of the credit facility is $25,000,000.
Amounts borrowed under Tranche C may be used only to partially fund the acquisition by the
Company of one or more publicly-traded companies, the acquisition costs related thereto, and
other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement and to finance an
agreed amount of working capital for the companies being acquired. |
|
|
|
|
The Company has borrowed $10,000,000 under Tranche A of the credit facility to pay-off
its existing senior indebtedness, in the aggregate principal amount of $6,825,000, plus
accrued interest thereon, as well as certain existing subordinated indebtedness, in the
aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000. In addition, amounts borrowed under this Tranche A
were used to pay certain closing costs, including the Lenders legal fees, commitment fees,
and other costs and expenses under the Credit Agreement amounting to $1,083,872. In
addition, the Company paid $642,614 in consulting and other fees in connection with the
credit facility and in connection with the Tranche B described below. These closing costs
have been deferred, and will be amortized over 4 years. For the year ended June 30, 2006,
$359,689 was amortized. The remaining balance of $664,003 was used for working capital
needs. |
|
|
|
|
The obligation to repay the $10,000,000 principal amount borrowed at the closing, along
with interest as described below, is further evidenced by the Note. |
|
|
|
|
Advances under Tranche B and Tranche C must be approved by the Lenders, and are subject
to the satisfaction of all conditions precedent required by the Lenders including the
condition that a default not occur under the loans as a result of the advance. |
|
|
|
|
The rate of interest (the Interest Rate) payable on the Loan for each calendar month
(an Interest Period) is a floating percentage rate per annum equal to the sum of the
LIBOR for that period plus the Margin. For theses purposes, LIBOR means for any Interest
Period the rate offered in the London interbank market for U.S. Dollar deposits for the
relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating the Interest
Rate, LIBOR shall at no time be less than a rate equal to 2.65%. For these purposes,
Margin means 9% per annum. Interest is due and payable monthly in arrears. |
|
|
|
|
Provided there has been no event of default under the Loan, an amount of interest equal
to 4% per annum that would otherwise be paid in cash instead may be paid in kind (PIK) by
such amount being added to the principal balance of the Loan on the last day of each month.
Such PIK amount will then accrue interest and be due and payable on the same terms and
conditions as the Loan. The Company may, at its option, elect to terminate the PIK interest
arrangement and instead pay such amount in cash. As of June 30, 2006, the Company accrued
and expensed $791,322 in relation to the PIK interest. |
F-31
|
|
|
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. $873,000 for the fair value of the warrants issued in connection of this loan
will be amortized within one year. Net of these two amounts, $1,333,126, is classified under
Current portion of senior note payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. At June 30,
2006, maturities for the Credit Agreement are as follows: |

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

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. |

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 Notesother than the Gupta Note which is not convertibleinto 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 Noteholdersother than the holder of
the Gupta Notealso received warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock
(the Subordinated Lender Warrants). The accounting treatment is described in Note 5
Stockholders Equity.
In August 2005 the Company refinanced the $1,500,000 Gupta Note due January 31, 2006 with a
long term credit facility from Fortress Credit Corp.
On September 20, 2005, the Company issued a Promissory Note (the September 2005 Note)
payable to the order of DCI Master LDC or its affiliates in the principal amount of Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000). Interest accrues under the September 2005 Note at the rate of ten

interest, is due and payable 90 days after the date it was entered into, December 19, 2005, unless
the Promissory Note is converted into debt or equity securities of the Company. As of June 30,
2006, the Company has not repaid this Promissory Note or converted it into debt or equity
securities. As such, interest of $39,306 was accrued and charged to interest expense in the current
quarter. On January 11, 2006, the holder of this note agreed to convert the $500,000 principal
(plus accrued interest) into equity securities of the Company under the Series E Subscription
Agreement described below. Under the Series E Subscription Agreement, the holder of the September
2005 note had the right, in the event that the Company completed or entered into agreements to sell
equity securities on or before February 15, 2006, to convert the securities received under the
Series E Subscription Agreement into such other equity securities as if the investor had invested
the amount invested in such securities. The holder of the September 2005 Note has indicated to the
Company that it intends to exercise this right and receive the same securities as were issued under
the January 2006 Subscription Agreements described below.
Also on September 20, 2005, the Company issued to the holder of the September 2005 Note a
Warrant to purchase 181,818 shares of common stock of the Company. The Warrant was issued in
connection with the September 2005 Note described above. The exercise price for the Warrant shares
is $1.375, subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant. The Warrant is exercisable until
September 20, 2010. The Warrant contains an automatic exercise provision in the event that the
warrant has not been exercised but the Fair Market Value of the Warrant Shares (as defined in the
Warrant) is greater than the exercise price per share on the expiration date. The Warrant also
contains a cashless exercise provision. The Warrant also contains a limitation on exercise which
limits the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the holder on exercise to that
number of shares as will ensure that, following such exercise, the total number of shares of Common
Stock then beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates will not exceed 9.99% of the total
number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock. This provision is waivable by the holder
on 60 days notice.
The proceeds from the September 2005 Note were allocated to the fair value of the warrants and
the note. Based on the fair market value, $276,606 was allocated to the Warrants and the remainder
of $223,394 was allocated to the September 2005 Note. The fair value of the Warrants was determined
by utilizing Black-Scholes method. The discount to the note was amortized over 3 months. The entire
$276,606 was amortized and charged to interest expense by June 30, 2006.

Subscription Agreement described below. Under the Series E Subscription Agreement, Mr. Howitt has
the right, in the event that the Company completed or entered into agreements to sell equity
securities on or before February 15, 2006, to convert the securities received under the Series E

in such securities. Mr. Howitt has indicated to the
Company that he intends to exercise this right and receive the same securities as were issued
under the January 2006 Subscription Agreements described below.

October 2005 Notes) in the aggregate principal amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).
Interest accrues under the October 2005 Notes at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The
principal amount of the October 2005 Notes, together with accrued interest, was due February 19,
2006, or 90 days after the date the notes were entered into, unless the October 2005 Notes were
converted into debt or equity securities of the Company in the Companys next financing involving
sales by the Company of a class of its preferred stock or convertible debt securities, or any other
similar or equivalent financing transaction. As of June 30, 2006, interest of $35,000 was accrued
and charged to interest expense.
Also on October 21, 2005, the Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 363,636
shares of common stock of the Company in connection with the October 2005 Notes described above.
The exercise price for the Warrant shares is $1.375, subject to adjustment as provided in the
Warrant. The Warrants are exercisable for five years after the date of the Warrants. Based on the
fair market value, $512,691 was allocated to the warrants and the remainder of $487,309 was
allocated to the October 2005 Notes. The fair value of the Warrants was determined by utilizing
Black-Scholes method. The discount to the October 2005 Notes was amortized over 3 months. For the
year ended June 30, 2006, the entire $512,691 was accreted and charged to interest expense. In the
quarter ended March 31, 2006, $500,000 of the principal amount under the October 2005 Notes, plus
$19,028 accrued interest, has been paid.
On January 11, 2006, the holder of the remaining $500,000 October 2005 Note agreed to convert
the $500,000 principal (plus accrued interest) under this October 2005 Note into equity securities
of the Company under the Series E Subscription Agreement described below. Under the Series E
Subscription Agreement, the holder of the October 2005 Note had the right, in the event that the
Company completed or entered into agreements to sell equity securities on or before February 15,
2006, to convert the securities received under the Series E Subscription Agreement into such other
equity securities as if the investor had invested the amount invested in such securities. The
holder of the October 2005 Note has indicated to the Company that it intends to exercise this right
and receive the same securities as were issued under the January 2006 Subscription Agreements
described below.
On October 26, 2005, as part of the Merger Consideration under the Tesseract Merger Agreement,
the Company issued a Promissory Note in the amount of $1,750,000 to Platinum. The principal under
the Promissory Note accrues interest at a rate of 9.0% per annum. The principal and accrued
interest under the Promissory Note are due on March 31, 2006. Interest is payable in registered
shares of common stock of the Company, provided that until such shares are registered, interest

judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $50,000 shall have been rendered against the Company
or any subsidiary; (g) the Company breaches any covenant set forth in Section 4 of the Promissory

Company or a subsidiary. Upon an Event of Default, the Holder may, at its option, declare all
amounts owed under the Promissory Note to be due and payable.
On March 31, 2006, the Company and Platinum entered into an Amendment and Consent, (the
Amendment). Pursuant to the Amendment, the maturity of the Note was modified such that the
aggregate principal amount of the Note and all accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable as
follows: (i) $1,000,000 on March 31, 2006; and (ii) the remaining $750,000 in principal, plus all
accrued but unpaid interest on the earliest of (a) the second business day following the closing of
the acquisition of Unify Corporation (Unify) by the Company, (b) the second business day
following termination of the merger agreement pursuant to which Unify is to be acquired by the
Company, (c) the second business day after the Company closes
F-35
an equity financing of at least $2.0
million subsequent to the date of the Amendment or (d) July 31, 2006. In accordance with the
Amendment, $1,000,000 was paid to Platinum on March 31, 2006 (see Note 8).
The Tesseract Merger Agreement also provided for a Working Capital Adjustment of $1,000,000 to be
paid no later than November 30, 2005. Since the Working Capital Adjustment was not paid by such
date, at the option of Platinum, the
Working Capital Adjustment may be converted into up to 1,818,181 shares of Series D Preferred
Stock. Additionally, since the Working Capital Adjustment was not paid on or before November 30,
2005, the Company must pay Platinum a monthly transaction advisory fee of $50,000 per month,
commencing December 1, 2005. As of June 30, 2006, the Working Capital Adjustment has not been paid
or converted to Series D Preferred Stock. As such, the Company accrued $350,000 for the advisory
fee as of June 30, 2006.
On January 11, 2006, the Company entered into certain convertible promissory notes (the
Series E Notes) in the aggregate principal amount of Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000).
Interest accrues under the Series E Notes at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The Notes
provide that they automatically convert into (i) such number of fully paid and non-assessable
shares of the Companys Series E Preferred Stock (the Series E Stock) equal to the aggregate
outstanding principal amount due under the Series E Notes plus the amount of all accrued but unpaid
interest under the Series E Notes divided by $1.25, and (ii) warrants (the Series E Warrants) to
purchase a number of shares of the Companys common stock equal to 40% of such number of shares of
Series E Stock issued to the holder. Under the terms of the Series E Notes, the automatic
conversion was to occur upon the effectiveness of the filing of the Certificate of Designations,
Preferences and Rights (the Certificate of Designations) pertaining to the Companys Series E
Stock, and, in the event that the Certificate of Designations was not filed 30 days after the
Series E Notes were issued (February 10, 2006) then the holders of the Series E Notes may demand
that the Company pay the principal amount of the Series E Notes, together with accrued interest. No
demand for payment has been made.
Under the Series E Subscription Agreements described below, holders of the Series E Notes had
the right, in the event that the Company completed or entered into agreements to sell equity
securities on or before February 15, 2006, to convert the Series E Notes into such other equity
securities as if the investor had invested the amount invested in such securities. The holders of
the Series E Notes have indicated to the Company that they intend to exercise this right and
receive the same securities as were issued under the January 2006 Subscription Agreements. The
terms of the January 2006 Subscription Agreements are described more fully below.
Also on January 11, 2006, the Company entered into certain Subscription Agreements (the
Series E Subscription Agreements) for the sale of Series E Stock and Series E Warrants. In
addition to the conversion of the principal and interest under the Series E Notes described above,
investors under the Series E Subscription Agreements committed to convert the $150,000 short term
loan made by Mr. Howitt, the $500,000 principal (plus accrued interest) under the September 2005
Note, and the $500,000 principal (plus accrued interest) under the outstanding October 2005 Note
(each as described above). 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
F-36
$150,000 short term loan he had made to the Company under
the terms of Series E Subscription Agreement. Mr. Howitt recused himself from the Company board of
directors decisions approving these transactions.
Investors under the Series E Subscription Agreements have indicated to the Company that they
intend to exercise the right described above and receive the same securities as were issued under
the January 2006 Subscription Agreements. The terms of the January 2006 Subscription Agreements are
described more fully below.
On January 27 and on January 30, 2006, the Company entered into certain convertible promissory
notes (the January 2006 Convertible Notes) in the aggregate principal amount of One Million Three
Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($1,375,000). The principal amount of the January 2006
Convertible Notes, together with accrued interest, shall be due and payable on demand by the holder
thereof on the maturity date which is no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date such January
2006 Convertible Notes were issued (the Original Maturity Date), unless the January 2006
Convertible Notes are converted into common stock and warrants as described below. In the event
that the January 2006 Convertible Notes are not converted by their Original Maturity Date, interest
will begin to accrue at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. For the year ended June 30, 2006,
the Company accrued and expensed $58,715 for this interest.
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
F-37
Securities Act, or (iii) all Registrable Shares may be sold at any time,
without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.
Upon the completion of the offering under the January 2006 Subscription Agreements, with a
full round of investment of $10,000,000, the investors will have the right for 15 months after the
final closing to invest, in the aggregate an additional $10,000,000 in common stock of the Company.
The price of such follow-on investment will be $2.00 per share of common stock or a 20% discount to
the prior 30 day trading period, whichever is lower; provided that the price per share shall not be
less than $1.25. Each investors portion of this follow-on right shall be such investors pro rata
amount of the January 2006 Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the January 2006 Subscription
Agreements. Once the Company has issued a total of $5,000,000 of January 2006 Convertible Notes,
the investors will be able to invest up to 50% of the amount which they may invest pursuant to this
follow-on right; subsequent to the completion of the full round of $10,000,000 the investors may
invest the remainder of the amount which they may invest pursuant to this follow-on right.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the January 2006 Subscription Agreements, the
number of shares of common stock that may be acquired by any investor upon any exercise of this
follow-on right (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure
that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of common stock then
beneficially owned by such investor and its Affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial
ownership of common stock would be aggregated with such investor for purposes of Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the
Company common stock. By written notice to the Company, any investor may waive this provision, but
any such waiver will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the
Company.
In addition to the $1,375,000 in January 2006 Convertible Notes issued January 27 and January
30, 2006, pursuant to the January 2006 Subscription Agreements, the following investors have
expressed an intention to exercise their right to accept the terms of the January 2006 Subscription
Agreements in lieu of the Series E Subscription Agreements:
|
|
|
the holder of the $500,000 principal amount September 2005 Note; |
|
|
|
|
the holder of the $500,000 principal amount October 2005 Note that is still outstanding; |
|
|
|
|
the holders of the $700,000 principal amount of Series E Notes; |
|
|
|
|
David Howitt, who made a $150,000 short term loan to the Company; |
|
|
|
|
the investor who had agreed to convert $67,500 in certain advisory fees due from the
Company into a Series E Subscription Agreement. |
Note 15. Late Filing Penalties
As of June 30, 2005, the Company had accrued penalties related to delays in certain events
related to the Companys Series C Preferred Stock (all of which has been converted into common
stock, as of June 30, 2006), and other securities sold January 31, 2005, the proceeds from which
were used to fund the acquisition of Gupta. On January 31, 2005, the Company entered into certain
Series C Subscription Agreements (collectively, the Series C Subscription Agreement), with the
Investors named therein. Under the Series C Subscription Agreement, the Company issued Series C
Notes, which, on March 31, 2005, converted into shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and warrants to
acquire common stock. Since the Series C Notes were not converted by March 17, 2005, due to a
delay in receiving approval required before effecting an amendment to the Companys Articles of
Incorporation, the Company could have been considered to have been obligated to pay to the
Investors a penalty in cash equal to ten percent (10%) of the principal amount of the Series C
Notes. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2005, the Company accrued $647,500 for this potential penalty.
Furthermore, that certain Investors Agreement entered into by the Company and the Investors
named therein on January 31, 2005 (the Series C Investors Agreement), the Company agreed to
register the shares of common stock issuable (i) upon conversion of the Series C Stock, (ii) upon
exercise of the warrants issued to the Series C stock holders, (iii) upon conversion of certain
subordinated notes and certain warrants issued by the Company under the Subordinated Note and
Warrant Purchase Agreement dated January 31, 2005, and (iv) the warrants issued under the Senior
Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated January 31, 2005. The registration statement covering
such shares, which was required to be filed under the Series C Investors Agreement, was filed
after the due date under the agreement due to the delay in receiving required consents necessary
for filing. As there was no assurance the Company would receive an acknowledgement that no
F-38
penalty
applied under the Series C Investors Agreement under these circumstances, or waiver of such
penalties, the Company accrued $386,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
Subsequently, the Company received sufficient waivers and acknowledgements from the Investors
that these penalties are not owed. Therefore, both of these accruals were reversed as of June 30,
2006.

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 $181,655 and $97,945 for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, 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
$55,614,000 as of June 30, 2006, which may be used to reduce taxable income in future years. These
NOLs will expire in the year 2021 through 2026. The deferred tax asset primarily resulting from
net operating losses was approximately $22,137,000 at June 30, 2006 and $13,170,000 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.

b) Agreement and Plan of Merger with Tenebril, Inc.
On August 24, 2006 Halo entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Tenebril Agreement)
with Tenebril Acquisition Sub, Inc., (Merger Sub) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
Tenebril Inc., (Tenebril or the Target), and Sierra Ventures, as agent for the Target
stockholders (the Stockholders Agent).
Under the terms of the Tenebril Agreement, Tenebril was merged with and into the Merger Sub (the
Merger) with Tenebril surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. At the effective
time of the Merger, the shares of Target Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the effective time were converted into promissory notes issued by Halo (each, a Tenebril Note and
collectively, the Tenebril Notes). The aggregate original principal amount of all Tenebril Notes
issued by Halo was $3,000,000.
The Tenebril Notes are due February 15, 2007, and accrue interest at a rate equal to eight and
one-quarter percent (8.25%) per annum. At the Company option, the Company may convert some or all
of the amount due under the Tenebril Notes into shares of Common Stock of the Company. The number
of shares issued upon conversion will be the total amount being converted divided by the Conversion
Price then in effect. The Conversion Price is 85% of the Market Price as defined in the Tenebril
Notes.
At the Closing, the Company also delivered to the Target Broker a promissory note (the Target
Broker Promissory Note).
F-42
The Target Broker Promissory Note was in the original principal amount of $110,000, plus applicable
interest, and is due on February 15, 2007
Under the Tenebril Agreement, Tenebril made certain customary representations and warranties to the
Company concerning Tenebril and the Company made certain customary representations and warranties
to Tenebril. The Tenebril Agreement contains indemnity terms which provide that each party shall
indemnify the other party for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants made under
the agreement, provided that neither party shall be required to pay any damages unless the
aggregate amount of all damages exceeds certain limits and provided further that neither party
shall be liable for damages in excess of certain limits.
Also on August 24, 2006, the Company entered into an Investors Agreement (the Tenebril Investors
Agreement) with the Target Stockholders. This agreement provides for the registration of shares of
the Companys Common Stock in the event the Company issues shares upon conversion of the Tenebril
Notes. Under the Tenebril Investors Agreement, the Company shall, within thirty (30) days after
the issuance of such shares (the Registrable Shares), prepare and file a registration statement
on Form SB-2 or an equally suitable registration statement (the Registration Statement) for the
purpose of registering all of the Registrable Shares for resale. Such Registration Statement also
shall cover, to the extent allowable under the 1933 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder
(including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from
stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Securities.
The Company agreed 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. The Company also agreed to use its best efforts to keep the Registration Statement
effective (the Effectiveness Period) (subject to reasonable blackout provisions as may be
required in order to comply with the securities laws) 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 of the Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement are sold; or (iii)
the date when Rule 144(k) is available with respect to all of the securities covered by such
Registration Statement.
A copy of the Tenebril Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.127 to the Companys Current Report on
Form 8-K filed August 30, 2006, and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the form of
Tenebril Notes is attached as Exhibit 10.128, to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed
August 30, 2006 and is incorporated herein by reference and a copy of the Tenebril Investors
Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.129 to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed August
30, 2006, and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Tenebril
Agreement, the Tenebril Notes and the Tenebril Investors Agreement is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the agreements.
c) Amendment to Current Report on Form 8-K Regarding Third Quarter Earnings
In the Companys fiscal 2006 third quarter earnings release, dated May 15, 2006, and furnished to
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a Current Report on Form 8-K on May 15, 2006, the
Company reported that it had achieved positive cash flow from operations and that it was
generating positive operating cash flow (on a pro forma EBITDA basis). In making this statement,
the Company included in its calculation of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization) historical deferred revenues from acquired companies (as recorded on the
historical financial statements of the acquired companies prior to acquisition) without giving
effect to the deferred revenue fair value reduction required by GAAP and purchase accounting when
concluding that its cash flow on a pro forma EBITDA basis was positive for the quarter ended March
31, 2006. Without the inclusion of this historical deferred revenues from acquired companies or if
the Company had given effect to the deferred revenue fair value reduction, the Company would not
have reported positive cash flow from operations on an EBITDA basis for the quarter ended March 31,
2006. After discussions with the Companys independent auditors and staff at the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the Company has agreed not to use the measure pro forma EBITDA basis. The
Company has amended its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006
to remove pro forma information with respect to Deferred Revenues included in the Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the heading
Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
d) Restatements of Periodic Reports
In the course of responding to comments received from the SEC in connection with the Companys
registration statement on Form S-4 filed April 5, 2006, and amended on June 1, 2006, the Company
identified errors resulting from the improper treatment of certain warrants to acquire common stock
of the Company. The Company had treated the warrants as equity, but the warrants should have been
treated as liabilities.
F-43
Accordingly, on September 1, 2006, the Companys Board of Directors determined that investors
should not rely on the Companys (a) consolidated financial statements for the period ended June
30, 2005 and the report thereon of the Companys independent registered public accountants,
included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) on September 28. 2005, (b) condensed consolidated financial statements for the
period ended September 30, 2005, included in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB filed
with the SEC on November 14, 2005, (c) condensed consolidated financial statements for the period
ended December 31, 2005, included in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB filed with the
SEC on February 15, 2006, and (d) condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended
March 31, 2006, included in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB filed with the SEC on May
15, 2006. The Board of Directors subsequently determined that investors should not rely on the
Companys condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2005, included
in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB filed with the SEC on May 20, 2005.
As a result of these determinations, the Company has amended its Annual Report for the year ended
June 30, 2005 and its Quarterly Reports for the interim periods ended March 31, 2006, December 31,
2005, September 30, 2005, and March 31, 2005. The amended Annual Report and the amended Quarterly
Reports were filed with the SEC on October 11, 2006. The Companys Board of Directors have
discussed these matters with the Companys independent registered public accounting firm.
The effects of these restatements on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the twelve
months ended June 30, 2005 and the three months ended March 31, 2006 are as follows:
