SMART ONLINE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
 
1.      SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business - Smart Online, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1993. The Company develops and markets software products and services (One Biz®) targeted to small businesses that are delivered via a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) model. The Company sells its SaaS products and services primarily through private-label marketing partners. In addition, the Company provides sophisticated and complex website consulting and development services, primarily in the e-commerce retail and direct-selling organization industries. The Company maintains a website that offers additional information about these capabilities as well as certain corporate information at www.smartonline.com.
 
Basis of Presentation - The financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 is obtained from the audited financial statements as of that date. The accompanying statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2010 (the “2009 Annual Report”).
 
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s statement of financial position as of June 30, 2010, and its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred net losses as well as negative cash flows, was involved in a class action lawsuit (See Note 7, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the 2009 Annual Report), and had deficiencies in working capital. These factors indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As of August 10, 2010, the Company has a commitment from its convertible secured subordinated noteholders to purchase up to an additional $3.8 million in convertible notes upon approval and call by the Company’s Board of Directors. There can be no assurance that, if the noteholders do not purchase the $3.8 million in convertible notes, the Company will be able to obtain alternative funding. There can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts to raise capital or increase revenue will be successful. If these efforts are unsuccessful, the Company may have to cease operations and liquidate the business. The Company’s future plans include the continued development and marketing of the Loyalty Clicks platform for not-for profit organizations, the development of additional new products and applications, and further enhancement of its existing small-business applications and tools. The Company’s continuation as a going concern depends upon its capability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitable operations and positive cash flows.

Significant Accounting Policies - In the opinion of the Company’s management, the significant accounting policies used for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are consistent with those used for the year ended December 31, 2009. Accordingly, please refer to the 2009 Annual Report for the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include the determination of the provision for income taxes, the fair market value of stock awards issued, and the period over which revenue is generated. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - US GAAP requires disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Due to the short period of time to maturity, the carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable reported in the financial statements approximate the fair value.

Reclassifications - Certain prior year and comparative period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.

Segments - Segmentation is based on an entity’s internal organization and reporting of revenue and operating income based upon internal accounting methods commonly referred to as the “management approach.” Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has a single reporting segment and operating unit structure.

Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. At times, cash balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurable limits. See Note 6, “Major Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk,” for further discussion of risk within accounts receivable.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability, failure, or refusal of its customers to make required payments. The need for an allowance for doubtful accounts is evaluated based on specifically identified amounts that management believes to be potentially uncollectible. If actual collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required.

Additionally, from time to time the Company, as part of its negotiated contracts, has granted extended payment terms to its strategic partners. As payments become due under the terms of the contract, they are invoiced and reclassified as accounts receivable. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company entered into a web services agreement with a direct-selling organization customer that provided for extended payment terms related to both professional services and the grant of a software license. During the third quarter of 2008, this customer began experiencing cash flow difficulties and has since significantly slowed its payments to the Company. In addition, the Company entered into a web services agreement with a real estate services customer in the third quarter of 2007 that called for contractual payments against a note receivable upon delivery and acceptance of a custom application. The customer has not made payments as per the revised agreements reached in December 2009.

Based on these criteria, management determined that at June 30, 2010, an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,072,071 was required, comprising the full outstanding balance of the direct-selling organization customer’s account and contract receivable and the entire real estate services customer’s note receivable.

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets consist primarily of assets obtained through the acquisitions of Computility, Inc. (“Computility”) and iMart Incorporated (“iMart”) in 2005 and include customer bases, acquired technology, non-compete agreements, trademarks, and trade names. The Company also owns several copyrights and trademarks related to products, names, and logos used throughout its non-acquired product lines. All assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives with the exception of the iMart trade name, which is deemed by management to have an indefinite life and is not amortized.  These assets are re-evaluated on a quarterly basis and the values are revised based upon current US GAAP pronouncements.

 
7

 

Revenue Recognition -  The Company derives revenue primarily from subscription fees charged to customers accessing its SaaS applications; professional service fees, consisting primarily of consulting and custom software development; the perpetual or term licensing of software platforms or applications; and hosting and maintenance services. These arrangements may include delivery in multiple-element arrangements if the customer purchases a combination of products and/or services. Because the Company licenses, sells, leases, or otherwise markets computer software, it uses the residual method pursuant to US GAAP.  This method allows the Company to recognize revenue for a delivered element when such element has vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of the fair value of the delivered element. If VSOE cannot be determined or maintained for an element, it could impact revenues as all or a portion of the revenue from the multiple-element arrangement may need to be deferred.

If multiple-element arrangements involve significant development, modification, or customization or if it is determined that certain elements are essential to the functionality of other elements within the arrangement, revenue is deferred until all elements necessary to the functionality are provided by the Company to a customer. The determination of whether the arrangement involves significant development, modification, or customization could be complex and require the use of judgment by management.

Under US GAAP, provided the arrangement does not require significant development, modification, or customization, revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria have been met:

 
1. 
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists

 
2. 
delivery has occurred

 
3. 
the fee is fixed or determinable

 
4. 
collection is probable

If at the inception of an arrangement the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is deferred until the arrangement fee becomes due and payable. If collectability is deemed not probable, revenue is deferred until payment is received or collection becomes probable, whichever is earlier. The determination of whether fees are collectible requires judgment of management, and the amount and timing of revenue recognition may change if different assessments are made.

Under the provisions of US GAAP, consulting, website design fees, and application development services are accounted for separately from the license of associated software platforms when these services have value to the customer and there is objective and reliable evidence of fair value of each deliverable. When accounted for separately, revenues are recognized as the services are rendered for time and material contracts, and when milestones are achieved and accepted by the customer for fixed-price or long-term contracts. The majority of the Company’s consulting service and custom software development contracts are on a time and material basis and are typically billed monthly based upon standard professional service rates.

Application development services are typically fixed in price and of a longer term. As such, they are accounted for as long-term construction contracts that require revenue recognition to be based on estimates involving total costs to complete and the stage of completion. The assumptions and estimates made to determine the total costs and stage of completion may affect the timing of revenue recognition, with changes in estimates of progress to completion and costs to complete accounted for as cumulative catch-up adjustments. If the criteria for revenue recognition on construction-type contracts are not met, the associated costs of such projects are capitalized and included in costs in excess of billings on the balance sheet until such time that revenue recognition is permitted.

Subscription fees primarily consist of sales of subscriptions through private-label marketing partners to end users. The Company typically has a revenue-share arrangement with these marketing partners in order to encourage them to market the Company’s products and services to their customers. Subscriptions are generally payable on a monthly basis and are typically paid via credit card of the individual end user. Any payments received in advance of the subscription period are accrued as deferred revenue and amortized over the subscription period. The Company recognizes certain revenue on a gross basis in accordance with US GAAP, when services are provided directly by the Company to end users and revenue-share arrangements exist with its marketing partners.

Because its customers generally do not have the contractual right to take possession of the software it licenses or markets at any time, the Company recognizes revenue on hosting and maintenance fees as the services are provided in accordance with US GAAP.

Deferred Revenue - Deferred revenue consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition, and it is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. Deferred revenue also includes certain professional service fees and license fees where all the criteria of US GAAP were not met. Deferred revenue that will be recognized over the succeeding 12-month period is recorded as current and the remaining portion is recorded as non-current.

Cost of Revenues - Cost of revenues primarily is composed of costs related to third-party hosting services, salaries and associated costs of customer support and professional services personnel, credit card processing, depreciation of computer hardware and software used in revenue-producing activities, domain name and e-mail registrations, and allocated development expenses and general and administrative overhead.

The Company allocates development expenses to cost of revenues based on time spent by development personnel on revenue-producing customer projects and support activities. The Company allocates general and administrative overhead such as rent and occupancy expenses, depreciation, general office expenses, and insurance to all departments based on headcount. As such, general and administrative overhead expenses are reflected in cost of revenues and each operating expense category.

Stock-Based Compensation -  Total stock-based compensation expense recognized under US GAAP provisions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $8,095 and $11,656 respectively of which $2,850 and $2,850 related to the issuance of restricted stock and $5,245 and $8,806 was expense associated with stock options for the respective three and six month period. Total stock-based compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $29,339 and $82,483 respectively, of which $20,937 and $47,499 related to the issuance of restricted stock and $8,402 and $34,984 was expense associated with stock options for the respective periods. No stock-based compensation was capitalized in the financial statements.

In computing the impact of stock-based compensation expense, the fair value of each award is estimated on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing certain assumptions for a risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected remaining lives of the awards, and forfeiture rate. The forfeiture rate is the estimated percentage of equity grants that are expected to be forfeited or cancelled on an annual basis before becoming fully vested. The Company estimates pre-vesting forfeiture rates at the time of grant based on historical data and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates, with the cumulative effect on current and prior periods of such changes recognized in compensation cost in the period of the change. The Company records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest, amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which are generally the vesting periods. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards, including if the Company’s actual forfeiture rate is materially different from what the Company has recorded in the current period, represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company’s stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

The fair value of option grants under the Company’s equity compensation plan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were estimated using the following weighted average assumptions:

Dividend yield – The Company has never declared or paid dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

Expected volatility – Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a financial variable such as share price has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period. The Company used the Company’s monthly historical volatility since April 2005 to calculate the expected volatility.

Risk-free interest rate – The risk-free interest rate is based on the published yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with a remaining term similar to the expected life of the option.

Expected lives – The expected lives of the options represent the estimated period of time until exercise or forfeiture and are based on historical experience of similar awards.

Net Loss Per Share - Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods. Common equivalent shares consist of convertible notes, stock options, and warrants that are computed using the treasury stock method. Shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, totaling 1,794,035 and 1,796,535 on June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of common equivalent shares, as the impact was anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - New and recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not relevant to the Company and therefore are not expected to have any impact once adopted.

2.      BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNTS

Prepaid Expenses

In July 2008, the Company entered into a 36-month sublease agreement, subsequently restructured as a lease with the primary landlord, for approximately 9,837 square feet of office space in Durham, North Carolina located near Research Triangle Park North Carolina, into which the Company relocated its headquarters in September 2008. The agreement included the conveyance of certain furniture to the Company without a stated value and required a lump-sum, upfront payment of $500,000 that was made in September 2008. Management has assessed the fair market value of the furniture to be approximately $50,000, and this amount was capitalized and is subject to depreciation in accordance with the Company’s fixed asset policies. The remainder of the payment was recorded as prepaid expense, with the portion relating to rent for periods beyond the next 12 months classified as non-current, and is being amortized to rent expense over the term of the lease.

This amount consisted primarily of $99,453 of liability related to the development of the Company’s custom accounting application; $1,802,379 related to legal reserves for the settlement of legal fees on behalf of former officers and employees, Michael Nouri and Eric Reza Nouri, both of whom were convicted on criminal charges brought by the US Department of Justice; $152,657 for accrued legal fees related to the defense;  $71,159 for accrued payroll and related costs; and $102,647 of convertible note interest payable and $2,149,500 for the estimated settlement costs for the class action lawsuit. (See Note 4 “Commitments and Contingencies”).

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue comprises the following items:
 
·
Subscription fees – Short-term and long-term portions of cash received related to one- or two-year subscriptions for domain names and/or e-mail accounts.

·
License fees – Licensing revenue where customers did not meet all the criteria of US GAAP. Such deferred revenue is recognized when delivery has occurred or collectability becomes probable.

·
Professional service fees – A customer that purchased a license and paid professional service fees during 2008 and 2007 to develop a customized application decided in the latter part of 2008 to move the application to the Company’s new technology platform. In connection with this new arrangement, the customer desires customization beyond the original scope of the project and will also be responsible for a monthly fee to maintain the application starting in October 2009. This deferred revenue represents the difference between earned fees and unearned license and professional service fees to be recognized as professional service fees revenue in 2009.

3.       NOTES PAYABLE

Convertible Notes

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $11.05 million aggregate principal amount of convertible secured subordinated notes due November 14, 2013 (the “notes”) outstanding, net of a $200,000 reduction in connection with the Company’s sale/leaseback of equipment in September 2009. On November 14, 2007, in an initial closing, the Company sold $3.3 million aggregate principal amount of initial notes due November 14, 2010. In addition, the noteholders committed to purchase on a pro rata basis up to $5.2 million aggregate principal of convertible secured subordinated notes in future closings upon approval and call by our Board of Directors. On August 12, 2008, we exercised our option to sell $1.5 million aggregate principal of additional notes due November 14, 2010 to existing noteholders, with substantially the same terms and conditions as the initial notes. In connection with the sale of the additional notes, the noteholders holding a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the convertible secured subordinated notes then outstanding agreed to increase the aggregate principal amount of convertible secured subordinated notes that they are committed to purchase from $8.5 million to $15.3 million. On November 21, 2008, we sold $500,000 aggregate principal amount of new notes due November 14, 2010 to two new convertible noteholders, with substantially the same terms and conditions as the Initial notes and the additional notes. At December 31, 2008, $5.3 million aggregate principal amount of notes were outstanding.
 
On January 6, 2009, the Company sold $500,000 aggregate principal amount of notes to Atlas, on substantially the same terms and conditions as the previously issued notes.
 
On February 24, 2009, the Company sold $500,000 aggregate principal amount of notes to Atlas on substantially the same terms and conditions as the previously issued notes. On the same date, the noteholders holding a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the notes outstanding agreed that the Company may sell up to $6 million aggregate principal amount of additional notes to new convertible noteholders or existing noteholders at any time on or before December 31, 2009 with a maturity date of November 14, 2010 or later. In addition, the maturity date definition for each of the notes was changed from November 14, 2010 to the date upon which the note is due and payable, which is the earlier of (1) November 14, 2010, (2) a change of control, or (3) if an event of default occurs, the date upon which noteholders accelerate the indebtedness evidenced by the notes. The formula for calculating the conversion price of the notes was also amended such that the conversion price of each outstanding note and any additional note sold in the future would be the same and set at the lowest applicable conversion price, as described below. 
 
On each of April 3, 2009 and June 2, 2009, the Company sold a Note in the principal amount of $500,000 to Atlas on substantially the same terms and conditions as the previously issued notes.  On each of July 16, 2009, August 26, 2009, September 8, 2009, and October 5, 2009, the Company sold a Note in the principal amount of $250,000 to Atlas on substantially the same terms and conditions as the previously issued notes.  On October 9, 2009, the Company sold a Note in the principal amount of $250,000 to UBP, Union Bancaire Privee, an existing noteholder, on substantially the same terms and conditions as the previously issued notes.  On November 6, 2009, the Company sold a note to Atlas in the principal amount of $500,000, on December 23, 2009 the Company sold a note to Atlas in the principal amount of $750,000, and on February 11, 2010, the Company sold a note to Atlas in the principal amount of $500,000, all upon substantially the same terms and conditions as the previously issued notes.
 
On March 5, 2010, the Company and the Requisite Percentage Holder, among other noteholders, entered into the Fourth Amendment. The Fourth Amendment extends the original maturity date of the notes from November 14, 2010 to November 14, 2013, and amends the Note Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated November 14, 2007, to reflect this extension, as reported on the Form 8-K filed by the Company on March 10, 2010.
 
On April 1, 2010, the Company sold a note to Atlas in the principal amount of $350,000, on Jun2 2010, the Company sold a note to Atlas in the principal amount of $600,000, on July 1, 2010, the Company sold a note to Atlas in the principal amount of $250,000.  Each note is due November 14, 2013, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as the previously issued notes.

On the earlier of the maturity date of November 14, 2013 or a merger or acquisition or other transaction pursuant to which our existing stockholders hold less than 50% of the surviving entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or similar transaction, or event of default, each noteholder in its sole discretion shall have the option to:

 
·
convert the principal then outstanding on its notes into shares of the Company’s common stock, or

 
·
receive immediate repayment in cash of the notes, including any accrued and unpaid interest.

If a noteholder elects to convert its notes under these circumstances, the conversion price will be the lowest “applicable conversion price” determined for each note. The “applicable conversion price” for each note shall be calculated by multiplying 120% by the lowest of
 
 
·
the average of the high and low prices of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board averaged over the five trading days prior to the closing date of the issuance of such note,
 
 
·
if the Company’s common stock is not traded on the Over-The-Counter market, the closing price of the common stock reported on the Nasdaq National Market or the principal exchange on which the common stock is listed, averaged over the five trading days prior to the closing date of the issuance of such note, or
 
 
·
the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Nasdaq National Market, or the principal exchange on which the common stock is listed, as applicable, on the trading day immediately preceding the date such note is converted, in each case as adjusted for stock splits, dividends or combinations, recapitalizations, or similar events.
 
We are obligated to pay interest on the notes at an annualized rate of 8% payable in quarterly installments commencing three months after the purchase date of the notes. We are not permitted to prepay the notes without approval of the holders of at least a majority of the principal amount of the notes then outstanding.

Payment of the notes will be automatically accelerated if we enter voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.

The notes and the common stock into which they may be converted have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. As a result, offers and sales of the notes were made pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act and only made to accredited investors.  The noteholders of the initial notes include (i) The Blueline Fund, or Blueline, which originally recommended Philippe Pouponnot, one of our former directors, for appointment to the Board of Directors; (ii) Atlas, an affiliate that originally recommended Shlomo Elia, one of our current directors, for appointment to the Board of Directors; (iii) Crystal Management Ltd., which is owned by Doron Roethler, the former Chairman of our Board of Directors and former Interim Chief Executive Officer and who currently serves as the noteholders’ bond representative; and (iv) William Furr, who is the father of Thomas Furr, who, at the time, was one of our directors and executive officers. The noteholders of the additional notes are Atlas and Crystal Management Ltd.  The noteholders of the new notes are not affiliated with the Company.

If the Company proposes to file a registration statement to register any of its common stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash, subject to certain limitations, the Company shall give each noteholder who has converted its notes into common stock the opportunity to include such shares of converted common stock in the registration. The Company has agreed to bear the expenses for any of these registrations, exclusive of any stock transfer taxes, underwriting discounts, and commissions.

No fees to third parties are payable in connection with the sale of notes.

Lines of Credit

On February 20, 2008, the Company entered into a $2.47 million revolving credit arrangement with Paragon Commercial Bank (“Paragon”) that was renewable on an annual basis subject to mutual approval to be used for general working capital. Any advances made on the line of credit were to be paid off no later than February 19, 2009, subject to extension due to renewal, with monthly payments being applied first to accrued interest and then to principal. The interest accrued on the unpaid principal balance at the Wall Street Journal’s published Prime Rate minus one-half percent. The line of credit is secured by an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $2.5 million issued by HSBC with Atlas as account party with an original expiration date of February 18, 2010. The Company also agreed with Atlas that in the event of a default by the Company in the repayment of the line of credit that results in the letter of credit being drawn, the Company shall reimburse Atlas any sums that Atlas is required to pay under such letter of credit. At the sole discretion of Atlas, these payments may be made in cash or by issuing shares of the Company’s common stock at a set per-share price of $2.50.

On February 25, 2010, the Company entered into a Modification Agreement with Paragon, with an effective date of February 22, 2010, relating to the Paragon Note. The Modification Agreement (i) extended the maturity date of the Paragon Note from February 11, 2010 to August 11, 2010, and (ii) changed the interest rate from a variable annual rate equal to The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, with a floor of 5.50%, to a fixed annual rate of 6.50%. Effective January 28, 2010, the expiration date of the standby letter of credit in the amount of $2,500,000 issued by HSBC securing the Paragon Note was extended from February 18, 2010 to September 17, 2010.  On August 10, 2010, Paragon Bank further extended the maturity date of the Paragon note to October 11, 2010 with the provision that the standby letter of credit in the amount of $2,500,000 issued by HSBC that is securing the Paragon Note be extended to November 17, 2010.

Development Agreement

In August 2005, the Company entered into a software assignment and development agreement with the developer of a customized accounting software application. In connection with this agreement, the developer would be paid up to $512,500 and issued up to 32,395 shares of the Company’s common stock based upon the developer attaining certain milestones. This agreement was modified on March 26, 2008 to adjust the total number of shares issuable under the agreement to 29,014. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had paid $470,834 and issued 3,473 shares of common stock related to this obligation.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business.

On October 18, 2007, Robyn L. Gooden filed a purported class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina naming the Company, certain of its current and former officers and directors, Maxim Group, LLC, Jesup & Lamont Securities Corp. and Sherb & Co. (our former independent registered  accounting firm) as defendants. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of all persons other than the defendants who purchased the Company’s securities from May 2, 2005 through September 28, 2007 and were damaged. The complaint asserted violations of federal securities laws, including violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5. The complaint asserted that the defendants made material and misleading statements with the intent to mislead the investing public and conspired in a fraudulent scheme to manipulate trading in the Company’s stock, allegedly causing plaintiffs to purchase the stock at an inflated price. The complaint requested certification of the plaintiff as class representative and seeks, among other relief, unspecified compensatory damages including interest, plus reasonable costs and expenses including counsel fees and expert fees. On June 24, 2008, the court entered an order appointing a lead plaintiff for the class action. On September 8, 2008, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint that added additional defendants who had served as directors or officers of the Company during the class period as well as the Company’s independent auditor.

On June 18, 2010, the Company entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the "Stipulation") with the lead plaintiff in the pending securities class action. Also included in the settlement are all the current and former officers, directors, shareholders and employees of the Company who had also been named as defendants in the securities class action, as well as Maxim Group. The Stipulation provides for the settlement of the securities class action on the terms described below. The settlement is subject to preliminary and final approval of the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, which the Company anticipates will occur in the second half of this year.

The Stipulation provides for the certification of a class consisting of all persons who purchased the Company's publicly-traded securities between May 2, 2005 and September 28, 2007, inclusive. The settlement class will receive total consideration of a cash payment of $350,000 to be made by the Company, a cash payment of $112,500 to be made by Maxim Group, the transfer from Henry Nouri to the class of 25,000 shares of Company common stock and the issuance by the Company to the class of 1,475,000 shares of Company common stock. Under the terms of the Stipulation, counsel for the settlement class may sell some or all of the common stock received in the settlement before distribution to the class, subject to the limitation that it cannot sell more than 10,000 shares on one day or 50,000 shares in 30 calendar days.

All claims against the settling defendants will be dismissed with prejudice. The claims of the lead plaintiff against Jesup & Lamont Securities Corp. and the Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm, Sherb & Co., are not being dismissed and will continue. The Stipulation contains no admission of fault or wrongdoing by the Company or the other settling defendants.

On July 2, 2009, Dennis Michael Nouri, a former officer of the Company, and Reza Eric Nouri, a former employee of the Company (together, the “Nouris”), were convicted of nine counts of criminal activity in a federal criminal action brought against them in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York involving a fraudulent scheme to manipulate the Company’s stock price. On May 19, 2010, Dennis Michael Nouri was sentenced to eight years incarceration and two years supervised release; he filed a notice of appeal on June 1, 2010. On May 10, 2010, Reza Eric Nouri was sentenced to 18 months incarceration and 24 months supervised release; he filed a notice of appeal on May 27, 2010 and was allowed to remain out on bail pending appeal.

On September 24, 2009, the Nouris filed a motion in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company seeking the appointment of a receiver for the Company for the purpose of collecting a judgment in the amount of $826,798 entered against it by order of the Court of Chancery on August 6, 2009 (the “Order”) for the advancement of legal expenses incurred by the Nouris in their defense of criminal proceedings brought against them by the United States, and in their defense of civil proceedings brought against them by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Company’s stockholders. Such legal expenses were in addition to legal fees and costs totaling $3 million that were paid out by the Company’s insurance carrier under the Company’s insurance policy, which exhausted the insurance coverage. The terms of the Order were previously reported in the Form 10-Q filed by the Company for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2009. The Company has recorded a total of unpaid legal expense obligations of $1,798,595 for this matter based on invoices received from the Nouris’ law firms through March 31, 2010, which figure does not include invoices generated but not yet received.

On June 18, 2010, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") with Dennis Michael Nouri, Reza Eric Nouri, Henry Nouri and Ronna Loprete Nouri (collectively, the “Nouri Parties”). The Settlement Agreement provides for the payment by the Company of up to $1,400,000. Of that amount, $500,000 is payable within ten days after the date (the “Effective Date”) of preliminary judicial approval of the class action settlement described above (“Class Action Preliminary Judicial Approval”), and $900,000 is payable in twelve fixed monthly installments of $75,000 commencing 60 days after the Effective Date, with the last four scheduled installments totaling $300,000 subject to reduction to the extent that fees and disbursements for the Nouris’ appeal are below certain levels or if the appeal is not taken to final adjudication. The Settlement Agreement provides for the exchange of mutual releases by the parties.

The Settlement Agreement is contingent upon Class Action Preliminary Judicial Approval.

On March 2, 2010, Nottingham Hall LLC, the primary landlord for the office space occupied by the Company under a sublease between our Company and Advantis Real Estate Services Company (Advantis), filed a Complaint in Summary Ejectment against Advantis and our Company. The suit seeks to recoup the funds not paid by Advantis over term of the original lease between Nottingham Hall LLC and Advantis in the sum of approximately $121,000.  Representatives for Nottingham Hall LLC have indicated that Advantis has defaulted on the terms of the lease and Nottingham Hall is now pursuing our Company for the differential in rent between our prepaid negotiated amount and the total actually due from Advantis.

On May 11, 2010 we reached an agreement with the Nottingham Hall LLC that required the payment of the rent differential for the period August 2009 through May 2010 and the monthly payment of the rent differential ($4,900.00) for the remainder of the lease period through September 30, 2011.  The Company entered into a lease with the primary landlord for the remaining lease term.

5.      STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock

The Board of Directors is authorized, without further stockholder approval, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions applicable to such shares, including dividend rights, conversion rights, terms of redemption, and liquidation preferences, and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designations of such series. There were no shares of preferred stock outstanding at June 30, 2010.

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 45,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of June 30, 2010, it had 18,342,543 shares of common stock outstanding. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held.

Warrants

As incentive to modify a letter of credit relating to the Wachovia line of credit (see Note 3, “Notes Payable”), the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Warrant and Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) with Atlas on January 15, 2007. Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, Atlas received a warrant containing a provision for cashless exercise to purchase up to 444,444 shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.70 per share at the termination of the line of credit or if the Company is in default under the terms of the line of credit with Wachovia. The fair value of the warrant was $734,303 as measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the time the warrant was issued. This amount was recorded as deferred financing costs and was amortized to interest expense.. In consideration for Atlas providing the Paragon line of credit (see Note 3, “Notes Payable”), the Company agreed to amend the Warrant Agreement to provide that the warrant is exercisable within 30 business days of the termination of the Paragon line of credit or if the Company is in default under the terms of the line of credit. If the warrant is exercised in full for cash, it will result in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $1.2 million.

Under a Securities Purchase Agreement with two investors entered in connection with a 2007 private placement of the Company’s common stock, the investors were issued warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 1,176,471 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. These warrants contain a provision for cashless exercise and must be exercised by February 21, 2010.  These warrants were not exercised.

As part of the commission paid to Canaccord Adams, Inc. (“CA”), the Company’s placement agent in the 2007 private placement transaction, CA was issued a warrant to purchase 35,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.55 per share. This warrant contains a provision for cashless exercise and must be exercised by February 21, 2012.

As of June 30, 2010, warrants to purchase up to 1,655,915 shares were outstanding.

Equity Compensation Plans

The Company adopted its 2004 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2004 Plan”) as of March 31, 2004. The 2004 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, and other direct stock awards to employees (including officers) and directors of the Company as well as to certain consultants and advisors. In June 2007, the Company temporarily limited the issuance of shares of its common stock reserved under the 2004 Plan to awards of restricted or unrestricted stock and in June 2008 again made options available for grant under the 2004 Plan. The total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2004 plan is 5,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, or similar capital change.

Restricted Stock – During the second quarter of 2010, we issued 10,000 shares of restricted stock to Shlomo Elia, as compensation for his service as a member of the Board of Directors. A total of 479 shares of restricted stock were canceled during the first two quarters of 2009 due to terminations and payment of employee tax obligations resulting from share vesting. At June 30, 2010, there remains $8,550 of unvested expense yet to be recorded related to all restricted stock outstanding.

Stock Options – The exercise price for incentive stock options granted under the 2004 Plan is required to be no less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted, except for options granted to 10% stockholders, which are required to have an exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. Incentive stock options typically have a maximum term of ten years, except for option grants to 10% stockholders, which are subject to a maximum term of five years. Non-statutory stock options have a term determined by either the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. Options granted under the 2004 Plan are not transferable, except by will and the laws of descent and distribution.

6.      MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk principally consist of trade receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by ongoing credit evaluation processes, relatively short collection terms, and the nature of the Company’s customer base, primarily mid- and large-size corporations with significant financial histories. Collateral is not generally required from customers. The need for an allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

A significant portion of revenues is derived from certain customer relationships. The following is a summary of customers that represent greater than 10% of total revenues:

Item 2.      Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains various forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements consist of, among other things, trend analyses, statements regarding future events, future financial performance, our plan to build our business and the related expenses, our anticipated growth, trends in our business, the effect of interest rate fluctuations on our business, the potential impact of current litigation or any future litigation, the potential availability of tax assets in the future and related matters, and the sufficiency of our capital resources, all of which are based on current expectations, estimates, and forecasts, and the beliefs and assumptions of our management. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” variations of such words, and similar expressions also are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Readers are directed to risks and uncertainties identified under Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” for factors that may cause actual results to be different than those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.

The following discussion is designed to provide a better understanding of our unaudited financial statements, including a brief discussion of our business and products, key factors that impacted our performance, and a summary of our operating results. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Historical results and percentage relationships among any amounts in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of trends in operating results for any future periods.

Overview
 
We develop and market software products and services targeted to small businesses that are delivered via a Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS, model. We also provide website consulting and custom software development services, primarily in the e-commerce retail and direct-selling organization industries.. We believe these relationships provide a cost- and time-efficient way to market to a diverse and fragmented yet very sizeable small-business sector. We also offer our products directly to end-user small businesses through our One Biz®  branded website.
 
We are developing a core industry-standard platform for small business and not-for-profit organizations with an architecture designed to integrate with a virtually unlimited number of other applications, services, and existing infrastructures. These applications include not only our own small-business applications, but also other applications we expect to arise from collaborative partnerships with third-party developers and service providers. In addition, we identified emerging-market opportunities using our Loyalty Clicks application suite targeted to not-for –profit organizations that leverage social media and smart-phone technology to provide increased engagement and fundraising online.  We are refining and integrating the core platform in an effort to meet anticipated customer need. We believe, but cannot assure, this platform and associated applications will provide opportunities for new sources of revenue, including an increase in our subscription fees.

Sources of Revenue

We derive revenues from the following sources:

 
·
Subscription fees – monthly fees charged to customers for access to our SaaS applications

 
·
Professional service fees – fees related to consulting services, some of which complement our other products and applications

 
·
License fees – fees charged for perpetual or term licensing of platforms or applications

 
·
Hosting fees – fees charged to customers for the hosting of platforms or applications

 
·
Other revenue – revenues generated from non-core activities such as maintenance fees; original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, contracts; and miscellaneous other revenues

Our current primary focus is to target those established companies that have both a substantial base of small-business customers as well as a recognizable and trusted brand name in specific market segments. Our goal is to enter into partnerships with these established companies whereby they private label our products and offer them to their small-business customers. We believe, but cannot assure, the combination of the magnitude of their customer bases and their trusted brand names and recognition will help drive our subscription volume.

Subscription fees primarily consist of sales of subscriptions through private-label marketing partners to end users. We typically have a revenue-share arrangement with these private-label marketing partners in order to encourage them to market our products and services to their customers. Applications for which subscriptions are available vary from our own internal development to applications provided to us by our partners. Subscriptions are generally payable on a monthly basis and are typically paid via credit card of the individual end user. We are focusing our efforts on enlisting new channel partners as well as diversifying with vertical intermediaries in various industries.

We generate professional service fees from our consulting and custom software development services. For example, a customer may request that we re-design its website to better accommodate our products or to improve its own website traffic. We typically bill professional service fees on a time and material basis.

License fees consist of perpetual or term license agreements for the use of the Smart Online platform or any of our applications.

Because we retain ownership to our platform and applications, we provide hosting services to our customers and typically charge a monthly fee based on the number of users accessing the programs and the bandwidth consumed.

Other revenue primarily consists of non-core revenue sources such as maintenance fees, miscellaneous web services, and OEM revenue generated through sales of our applications bundled with products offered by other manufacturers.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues primarily is composed of costs related to third-party hosting services, salaries and associated costs of customer support and professional services personnel, credit card processing, depreciation of computer hardware and software used in revenue-producing activities, domain name and e-mail registrations, and allocated development expenses and general and administrative overhead.

We allocate development expenses to cost of revenues based on time spent by development personnel on revenue-producing customer projects and support activities. We allocate general and administrative overhead such as rent and occupancy expenses, depreciation, general office expenses, and insurance to all departments based on headcount. As such, general and administrative overhead expenses are reflected in cost of revenues and each operating expense category.

Operating Expenses

We are devoting resources to the sale and marketing of our SaaS based applications including Loyalty Clicks ™and iMart products, through both channel partners and direct sales efforts. Additionally, we have placed renewed emphasis on marketing our consulting and software development capabilities (i Mart ®) to support companies who require sophisticated and complex e-commerce websites.

Sales and Marketing – Sales and marketing expenses are composed primarily of costs associated with our sales and marketing activities and consist of salaries and related compensation costs of our sales and marketing personnel, travel and other costs, and marketing, public relations and advertising expenses. Historically, we spent limited funds on marketing, advertising, and public relations, particularly due to our business model of partnering with established companies with extensive small-business customer bases. In June 2008, we engaged a public relations firm and, as a result, our public relations expenses increased during the latter part of 2008. As we continue to execute our sales and marketing strategy, we expect associated costs to increase throughout 2010 due to targeting new partnerships, development of channel partner enablement programs, advertising campaigns, additional sales and marketing personnel, and the various percentages of revenues we may be required to pay to future partners as marketing fees or pursuant to revenue share arrangements.

Research and Development – Research and development expenses include costs associated with the development of new products, enhancements of existing products, and general technology research. These costs are composed primarily of salaries and related compensation costs of our research and development personnel as well as outside consultant costs.

US GAAP concerning 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, with costs incurred prior to this time expensed as research and development. Technological feasibility is established when all planning, designing, coding, and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its design specifications have been completed. Historically, we had not developed detailed design plans for our SaaS applications, and the costs incurred between the completion of a working model of these applications and the point at which the products were ready for general release had been insignificant. As a result of these factors, combined with the historically low revenue generated by the sale of the applications that do not support the net realizable value of any capitalized costs, we continued the expensing of underlying costs as research and development.

Beginning in May 2008, we determined that it was strategically desirable to develop an industry-standard platform and to enhance our current SaaS applications. A detailed design plan indicated that the product was technologically feasible. In July 2008, we commenced development, and from that point in time, we have capitalized all related costs in accordance with US GAAP. Because of our scalable and secure multi-user architecture, we are able to provide all customers with a service based on a single version of our application. As a result, we do not have to maintain multiple versions, which means we don’t have to incur certain development costs as do those companies who develop traditional enterprise software business models. As we further the development of our new applications throughout 2010, we expect that future research and development expenses will decrease in both absolute and relative dollars.

 
21

 

General and Administrative –  General and administrative expenses are composed primarily of costs associated with our executive, finance and accounting, legal, human resources, and information technology personnel and consist of salaries and related compensation costs; professional services (such as outside legal counsel fees, audit, and other compliance costs); depreciation and amortization; facilities and insurance costs; and travel and other costs. We anticipate general and administrative expenses will decrease slightly in 2010 as part of the objectives identified by current management. However, we are obligated to pay a material amount of indemnification costs in 2010 under settlement agreement described in detail in Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and in Note 4. “Commitments and Contingencies” Legal Proceedings, above, which would significantly increase our general and administrative expenses.

Stock-Based Expenses – Our operating expenses include stock-based expenses related to options, restricted stock awards, and warrants issued to employees and non-employees that are recognized at their fair market value utilizing the Black Sholes Model. These charges have been significant and are reflected in our historical financial results. In June 2007, we limited the issuance of awards under our 2004 Equity Compensation Plan, or the 2004 Plan, to awards of restricted or unrestricted stock. In June 2008, we made options available for grant under the 2004 Plan once again, primarily due to the adverse tax consequences to recipients of restricted stock upon the lapsing of restrictions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which we prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. “Critical accounting policies and estimates” are defined as those most important to the financial statement presentation and that require the most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Under different assumptions and/or conditions, actual results of operations may materially differ. We periodically reevaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, provision for doubtful accounts, expected lives of customer relationships, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, provision for income taxes, valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and contingencies and litigation reserves. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition – We derive revenue primarily from subscription fees charged to customers accessing our SaaS applications; professional service fees, consisting primarily of consulting and custom software development; the perpetual or term licensing of software platforms or applications; and hosting and maintenance services. These arrangements may include delivery in multiple-element arrangements if the customer purchases a combination of products and/or services. Because we license, sell, lease, or otherwise market computer software, we use the residual method pursuant to American Institute of Certified Public Accountants concerning Software Revenue Recognition.  This method allows us to recognize revenue for a delivered element when such element has vendor specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of the fair value of the delivered element. If we cannot determine or maintain VSOE for an element, it could impact revenues, as we may need to defer all or a portion of the revenue from the multiple-element arrangement.

 
22

 

If multiple-element arrangements involve significant development, modification, or customization, or if we determine that certain elements are essential to the functionality of other elements within the arrangement, we defer revenue until we provide to the customer all elements necessary to the functionality. The determination of whether the arrangement involves significant development, modification, or customization could be complex and require the use of judgment by our management.

Under US GAAP, provided the arrangement does not require significant development, modification, or customization, we recognize revenue when all of the following criteria have been met:

 
1.
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists

 
2.
delivery has occurred

 
3.
the fee is fixed or determinable

 
4.
collection is probable

If at the inception of an arrangement the fee is not fixed or determinable, we defer revenue until the arrangement fee becomes due and payable. If we deem collectability is not probable, we defer revenue until we receive payment or collection becomes probable, whichever is earlier. The determination of whether fees are collectible requires judgment of our management, and the amount and timing of revenue recognition may change if different assessments are made.

Under the provisions of US GAAP concerning, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables , we account for consulting, website design fees, and application development services separately from the license of associated software platforms when these services have value to the customer and there is objective and reliable evidence of fair value of each deliverable. When accounted for separately, we recognize revenue as the services are rendered for time and material contracts, and when milestones are achieved and accepted by the customer for fixed-price or long-term contracts. The majority of our consulting service contracts are on a time and material basis, and we typically bill our customers monthly based upon standard professional service rates.

Application development services are typically fixed in price and of a longer term. As such, we account for them as long-term construction contracts that require us to recognize revenue based on estimates involving total costs to complete and the stage of completion. Our assumptions and estimates made to determine the total costs and stage of completion may affect the timing of revenue recognition, with changes in estimates of progress to completion and costs to complete accounted for as cumulative catch-up adjustments. If the criteria for revenue recognition on construction-type contracts are not met, we capitalize the associated costs of such projects and include them in costs in excess of billings on the balance sheet until such time that we are permitted to recognize revenue.

Subscription fees primarily consist of sales of subscriptions through private-label marketing partners to end users. We typically have a revenue-share arrangement with these marketing partners in order to encourage them to market our products and services to their customers. Subscriptions are generally payable on a monthly basis and are typically paid via credit card of the individual end user. We accrue any payments received in advance of the subscription period as deferred revenue and amortize them over the subscription period. We recognize revenue on a gross basis in accordance with US GAAP concerning Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, when we provide services directly to end users and revenue-share arrangements exist with our marketing partners.

Because our customers generally do not have the contractual right to take possession of the software we license or market at any time, we recognize revenue on hosting and maintenance fees as we provide the services in accordance with US GAAP concerning the arrangements that include the right to use software stored on another entity’s hardware.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts – We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability, failure, or refusal of our customers to make required payments. We evaluate the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that we believe to be potentially uncollectible. Although we believe that, our allowances are adequate, if the financial conditions of our customers deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, or if we underestimate the allowances required, additional allowances may be necessary, which will result in increased expense in the period in which we make such determination.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – We record our long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, at cost. We review the carrying value of our long-lived assets for possible impairment at the earlier of annually in the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable in accordance with the provisions of US GAAP. We measure the recoverability of assets to be held and used by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If we consider such assets to be impaired, we measure the impairment as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, and we recognize it as an operating expense in the period in which the determination is made.

We report assets to be disposed of at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Although we believe that the carrying values of our long-lived assets are appropriately stated, changes in strategy or market conditions or significant technological developments could significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded asset balances.

In addition to the recoverability assessment, we also routinely review the remaining estimated useful lives of our long-lived assets. Any reduction in the useful-life assumption will result in increased depreciation and amortization expense in the period when such determinations are made, as well as in subsequent periods.

Income Taxes – We are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This involves estimating our current tax liabilities in each jurisdiction, including the impact, if any, of additional taxes resulting from tax examinations, as well as making judgments regarding our ability to realize our deferred tax assets. Such judgments can involve complex issues and may require an extended period to resolve. In the event we determine that we will not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets, we would make an adjustment in the period we make such determination. We recorded no income tax expense in the first or second quarter of 2010, or in 2009 and 2008, as we have experienced significant operating losses to date. If utilized, we may apply the benefit of our total net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future tax expense. Since our utilization of these deferred tax assets is dependent on future profits, which are not assured, we have recorded a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax assets. These carryforwards would also be subject to limitations, as prescribed by applicable tax laws.

As a result of prior equity financings and the equity issued in conjunction with certain acquisitions, we have incurred ownership changes, as defined by applicable tax laws. Accordingly, our use of the acquired net operating loss carryforwards may be limited. Further, to the extent that any single-year loss is not utilized to the full amount of the limitation, such unused loss is carried over to subsequent years until the earlier of its utilization or the expiration of the relevant carryforward period.

Revenues decreased 30% to $259,719 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $370,647 for the same period in 2009. Our overall decrease in revenues was driven by substantial declines in subscription fees and professional service fees and offset by an increase in license fees. Select items are discussed in detail below.

Operating expenses decreased 66.8% to $579,489 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $1,744,008 for the same period in 2009. This decrease is the direct result of our concerted efforts during the latter part of 2009 and into 2010 to reduce operating expenses by improving efficiencies and eliminating unnecessary costs offset by the recognition of loss on the reevaluation of an intangible asset. Select items are discussed in detail below.

General and administrative expenses decreased 55% to $389,469 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $862,050 for the same period in 2009. This decrease is primarily attributable to reductions in bad debt expense $128,000; and $15,000 stock-based compensation expense resulting from employee turnover and a decrease in new equity grants; and $167,000 reduction in legal expenses; $135,000 reduction in the amount of amortization of intangible costs; and $10,300 in management consulting fees. Bad debt expense is reduced because management is being more cautious of new customer acceptance and sales volume is down for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Legal expense reduced because we have been able to settle the outstanding litigation that the Company was involved with since 2007.

Revenues from professional service fees decreased 64.8% to $128,674 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $198,499 for the same period in 2009. This decrease is primarily due to a significant decline in web consulting services provided to customers during the second quarter of 2010.

Operating expenses decreased 55% to $1,436,548 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $3,216,015 for the same period in 2009. This decrease is the direct result of our concerted efforts during the latter part of 2009 and into 2010 to reduce operating expenses by improving efficiencies and eliminating unnecessary costs offset by the recognition of loss on the reevaluation of an intangible asset.

Provision for Income Taxes

We have not recorded a provision for income tax expense because we have been generating net losses. Furthermore, we have not recorded an income tax benefit for the first or second quarter of 2010 primarily due to continued substantial uncertainty based on objective evidence regarding our ability to realize our deferred tax assets, thereby warranting a full valuation allowance in our financial statements. We have approximately $49.6 million in net operating loss carryforwards, which may be utilized to offset future taxable income.

Utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and similar state provisions. Such an annual limitation could result in the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards before utilization.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of June 30, 2010, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $22,000 and current accounts receivable of $ -0-, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, as compared to $120,000 of cash and cash equivalents and $13,000 in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2009. We maintain a low cash balance because of automated sweeps among our accounts at Paragon whereby all available cash at the end of each day is used to pay down our line of credit with Paragon, the purpose of which is to reduce our interest expense. As of June 30, 2010, we had drawn approximately $2,154,000 on the $2,470,000 line of credit, leaving approximately $316,000 available under the line of credit for our operations. Deferred revenue at June 30, 2010 was $37,500 as compared to $46,000 at December 31, 2009.

As of August 6, 2010, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $22,000 and accounts receivable of approximately $-0-. In addition, we had drawn approximately $2,152,000 on the Paragon line of credit, leaving approximately $318,000 available under the line of credit for operations. As of August 6, 2010, we also have a commitment from our convertible secured subordinated noteholders to purchase up to an additional $3.8 million in convertible notes upon approval and call by our Board of Directors.

Cash Flows

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, our working capital deficit decreased by approximately $184,000 to $6,392,000 from a working capital deficit of $6,575,000 at December 31, 2009. As described more fully below, the working capital deficit at June 30, 2010 is primarily attributable to negative cash flows from operations, offset in part by net debt borrowings.

This net source of cash is primarily due to net debt borrowings in the first and second quarters of 2010, as described below.

The net cash for the second quarter of 2010 from our financing activities was generated through debt financing, as described below.

Debt Financing.  In November 2006, we established a $1.3 million revolving credit arrangement with Wachovia Bank, NA (“Wachovia”) to be used for general working capital purposes, which we increased to $2.5 million in January 2007. The line of credit was secured by our deposit account at Wachovia and an irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by HSBC Private Bank (Suisse) SA, or HSBC, with Atlas Capital, SA (“Atlas”), a current stockholder and affiliate, as account party. Any advances made on the line of credit were to be paid off no later than August 1, 2008. On February 15, 2008, we repaid the full outstanding principal balance of $2,052,000 and accrued interest of $2,890 outstanding under the line of credit, and our deposit account and the irrevocable standby letter of credit were both released by Wachovia.

On February 20, 2008, we entered into a revolving credit arrangement with Paragon that was renewable on an annual basis subject to mutual approval. The line of credit advanced by Paragon was $2.47 million, to be used for general working capital. Any advances made on the line of credit were to be paid off no later than February 19, 2009, subject to extension due to renewal, with monthly payments being applied first to accrued interest and then to principal.

The interest accrued on the unpaid principal balance at the Wall Street Journal has published Prime Rate minus one-half percent. On February 19, 2009, we renewed our revolving credit arrangement with Paragon. Any advances made on the line of credit were to be paid off no later than February 11, 2010, with interest to accrue on the unpaid principal balance at the Wall Street Journal's published Prime Rate, but at no time at a rate less than 5.5%.  The line of credit was secured by an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $2.5 million issued by HSBC with Atlas as account party, expiring February 18, 2010. We also have agreed with Atlas that in the event of our default in the repayment of the line of credit that results in the letter of credit being drawn, we would reimburse Atlas any sums that Atlas is required to pay under such letter of credit. At our sole discretion, these payments may be made in cash or by issuing shares of our common stock at a set per-share price of $2.50.

On February 25, 2010, the Company and Paragon extended the maturity date of the Paragon line of credit from February 11, 2010 to August 11, 2010, and changed the interest rate on the line of credit from the variable Prime Rate published by the Wall Street Journal, with a floor of 5.50%, to a fixed annual rate of 6.50%.  The Company has been advised that, effective January 28, 2010, the expiration date of the standby letter of credit in the amount of $2,500,000 issued by HSBC has been extended from February 18, 2010 to September 17, 2010.  As of August 10, 2010, the Company had an outstanding balance of $2.435 million under the line of credit. On August 10, 2010, Paragon Bank extended the maturity date of the Paragon note to October 11, 2010 with the provision that the standby letter of credit in the amount of $2,500,000 issued by HSBC that is securing the Paragon Note is also extended to November 17, 2010.

The Paragon line of credit replaced our line of credit with Wachovia. As an incentive for the letter of credit from Atlas to secure the Wachovia line of credit, we had entered into a stock purchase warrant and agreement with Atlas. Under the terms of the agreement, Atlas received a warrant to purchase up to 444,444 shares of our common stock at $2.70 per share within 30 business days of the termination of the Wachovia line of credit or if we are in default under the terms of the line of credit with Wachovia. In consideration for Atlas providing the letter of credit to secure the Paragon line of credit, we agreed to amend the agreement to provide that the warrant is exercisable within 30 business days of the termination of the Paragon line of credit or if we are in default under the terms of the line of credit with Paragon.

As of June 30, 2010, we had $11.05 million aggregate principal amount of convertible secured subordinated notes due November 14, 2010, or the notes, outstanding, net of a $200,000 reduction in connection with the Company’s sale/leaseback of equipment in September 2009.  On November 14, 2007, in an initial closing, we sold $3.3 million aggregate principal amount of notes, or the initial notes. In addition, the noteholders committed to purchase on a pro rata basis up to $5.2 million aggregate principal amount of notes in future closings upon approval and call by our Board of Directors. On August 12, 2008, we exercised our option to sell $1.5 million aggregate principal amount of notes with substantially the same terms and conditions as the initial notes, or the additional notes. In connection with the sale of the additional notes, the noteholders holding a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding agreed to increase the aggregate principal amount of notes that they are committed to purchase from $8.5 million to $15.3 million. On November 21, 2008, we sold $500,000 aggregate principal amount of notes, or the new notes, to two new investors with substantially the same terms and conditions as the previously outstanding notes. On each of January 6, 2009 and February 24, 2009, we sold $500,000 aggregate principal amount of notes to a current noteholder with substantially the same terms and conditions as the previously outstanding notes. 

On February 24, 2009, the noteholders holding a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the notes outstanding agreed that the Company may sell up to $6 million aggregate principal amount of Additional notes to new convertible noteholders or existing noteholders at any time on or before December 31, 2009 with a maturity date of November 14, 2010 or later. In addition, the maturity date definition for each of the notes was changed from November 14, 2010 to the date upon which the note is due and payable, which is the earlier of (1) November 14, 2010, (2) a change of control, or (3) if an event of default occurs, the date upon which noteholders accelerate the indebtedness evidenced by the notes. The formula for calculating the conversion price of the notes was also amended such that the conversion price of each outstanding note and any additional note sold in the future would be the same and set at the lowest applicable conversion price, as described below. 

On each of April 3, 2009 and June 2, 2009, the Company sold a note in the principal amount of $500,000 to Atlas on substantially the same terms and conditions as the previously issued notes.  On each of July 16, 2009, August 26, 2009, September 8, 2009, and October 5, 2009, the Company sold a Note in the principal amount of $250,000 to Atlas on substantially the same terms and conditions as the previously issued notes.  On October 9, 2009, the Company sold a Note in the principal amount of $250,000 to UBP, Union Bancaire Privee, an existing noteholder, on substantially the same terms and conditions as the previously issued notes.  On November 6, 2009, the Company sold a Note to Atlas in the principal amount of $500,000, on December 23, 2009 the Company sold a Note to Atlas in the principal amount of $750,000, and on February 11, 2010, the Company sold a Note to Atlas in the principal amount of $500,000, all upon substantially the same terms and conditions as the previously issued notes.
On March 5, 2010, the Company and the Requisite Percentage Holder, among other noteholders, entered into the Fourth Amendment. The Fourth Amendment extends the original maturity date of the notes from November 14, 2010 to November 14, 2013, and amends the Note Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated November 14, 2007, to reflect this extension, as reported on the Form 8-K filed by the Company on March 10, 2010.
 
On April 1, 2010, the Company sold a Note to Atlas in the principal amount of $350,000, on June 2 2010, the Company sold a Note to Atlas in the principal amount of $600,000, on July 1, 2010, the Company sold a Note to Atlas in the principal amount of $250,000.  Each Note is due November 14, 2013, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as the previously issued notes.

We are obligated to pay interest on the notes at an annualized rate of 8% payable in quarterly installments commencing three months after the purchase date of the notes. We are not permitted to prepay the notes without approval of the holders of at least a majority of the principal amount of the notes then outstanding.

On the earlier of November 14, 2013 or a merger or acquisition or other transaction pursuant to which our existing stockholders hold less than 50% of the surviving entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or similar transaction, or event of default, each noteholder in its sole discretion shall have the option to:

 
convert the principal then outstanding on its notes into shares of our common stock, or

 
receive immediate repayment in cash of the notes, including any accrued and unpaid interest.
 
 
36

 

If a noteholder elects to convert its notes under these circumstances, the conversion price will be the lowest “applicable conversion price” determined for each note. The “applicable conversion price” for each note shall be calculated by multiplying 120% by the lowest of:

 
the average of the high and low prices of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board averaged over the five trading days prior to the closing date of the issuance of such note,

 
if our common stock is not traded on the Over-The-Counter market, the closing price of the common stock reported on the Nasdaq National Market or the principal exchange on which the common stock is listed, averaged over the five trading days prior to the closing date of the issuance of such note, or

 
the closing price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Nasdaq National Market or the principal exchange on which the common stock is listed, as applicable, on the trading day immediately preceding the date such note is converted, in each case as adjusted for stock splits, dividends or combinations, recapitalizations or similar events.

Payment of the notes will be automatically accelerated if we enter voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.

The notes and the common stock into which they may be converted have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. As a result, offers and sales of the notes were made pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act and only made to accredited investors. The investors in the initial notes include (i) The Blueline Fund, which originally recommended Philippe Pouponnot, one of our former directors, for appointment to the Board of Directors; (ii) Atlas, an affiliate that originally recommended Shlomo Elia, one of our current directors, for appointment to the Board of Directors; (iii) Crystal Management Ltd., which is owned by Doron Roethler, who subsequently became Chairman of our Board of Directors and Interim President and Chief Executive Officer until May 19, 2009 and serves as the noteholders’ bond representative; and (iv) William Furr, who is the father of Thomas Furr, who, at the time, was one of our directors and executive officers. The investors in the additional notes are Atlas and Crystal Management Ltd. The investors in the new notes are not affiliated with the Company.

If we propose to file a registration statement to register any of its common stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash, subject to certain limitations, we must give each noteholder who has converted its notes into common stock the opportunity to include such shares of converted common stock in the registration. We have agreed to bear the expenses for any of these registrations, exclusive of any stock transfer taxes, underwriting discounts, and commissions.

We have not yet achieved positive cash flows from operations, and our main sources of funds for our operations are the sale of securities in private placements, the sale of additional convertible secured subordinated notes, and bank lines of credit. We must continue to rely on these sources until we are able to generate sufficient cash from revenues to fund our operations. We believe that anticipated cash flows from operations, funds available from our existing line of credit, and additional issuances of notes, together with cash on hand, will provide sufficient funds to finance our operations at least for the next 12 to 18 months, depending on our ability to achieve strategic goals outlined in our annual operating budget that is approved by our Board of Directors. Changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, or other events may cause us to seek additional equity or debt financing in future periods. There can be no guarantee that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Additional equity financing could be dilutive to the holders of our common stock, and additional debt financing, if available, could impose greater cash payment obligations and could require additional covenants and operating restrictions. In addition, legal settlement payments arising out of indemnification obligations in favor of certain former officer and employees will put further strain on the cash flow of the Company (see item 4 Legal Proceedings).

Going Concern

Our independent registered public accountants for fiscal 2009 have issued an explanatory paragraph in their report included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 in which they express substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern depends on our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing that is currently required, and ultimately to attain profitable operations and positive cash flows. There can be no assurance that our efforts to raise capital or increase revenue will be successful. If our efforts are unsuccessful, we may have to cease operations and liquidate our business.

Recent Developments

On July 1, 2010, the Company sold $250,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible secured subordinated notes due November 14, 2013 to Atlas with substantially the same terms and conditions as the previously outstanding notes, as described in Note 3, “Notes Payable.”

Please refer to Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 for a further description of material legal proceedings.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures

Not applicable.

Item 4T.
Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our interim Chief Executive Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

We routinely review our internal control over financial reporting and from time to time make changes intended to enhance the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

 Review of our revenue recognition procedures during the fourth quarter of 2009 caused the restatement of financial statements for the first three quarters of 2009 and three quarters of 2008. The restatement included the presentation of net subscription revenue as compared to the gross subscription revenue. In the past, we recognized all subscription revenue on a gross basis and in accordance with our policy to periodically review our accounting procedures we identified the fact that certain contracts require the reporting of subscription revenue on a gross basis and others on a net basis according to US GAAP. As a result of our review, we continue to report subscription revenue from certain contracts on a gross basis and others on a net basis. The net effect of this reclassification of expenses only impacts gross revenue and certain gross expenses; it does not change the net income.

In order to address the material weakness we have implemented a system whereby each new contract entered into by the company must be reviewed and approved by the Chief Financial Officer.

We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and will take action as appropriate. There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting, as such, term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the three months ended June 30, 2010 that we believe materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.      Legal Proceedings

Please refer to Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 for a description of material legal proceedings.

On June 18, 2010, the Company entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the "Stipulation") with the lead plaintiff in the pending securities class action. Also included in the settlement are all the current and former officers, directors, shareholders and employees of the Company who had also been named as defendants in the securities class action, as well as Maxim Group. The Stipulation provides for the settlement of the securities class action on the terms described below. The settlement is subject to preliminary and final approval of the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, which the Company anticipates will occur in the second half of this year.

The Stipulation provides for the certification of a class consisting of all persons who purchased the Company's publicly-traded securities between May 2, 2005 and September 28, 2007, inclusive. The settlement class will receive total consideration of a cash payment of $350,000 to be made by the Company, a cash payment of $112,500 to be made by Maxim Group, the transfer from Henry Nouri to the class of 25,000 shares of Company common stock and the issuance by the Company to the class of 1,475,000 shares of Company common stock. Under the terms of the Stipulation, counsel for the settlement class may sell some or all of the common stock received in the settlement before distribution to the class, subject to the limitation that it cannot sell more than 10,000 shares on one day or 50,000 shares in 30 calendar days.

All claims against the settling defendants will be dismissed with prejudice. The claims of the lead plaintiff against Jesup & Lamont Securities Corp. and the Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm, Sherb & Co., are not being dismissed and will continue. The Stipulation contains no admission of fault or wrongdoing by the Company or the other settling defendants.

As previously reported in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on June 4, 2009, Dennis Michael Nouri and Reza Eric Nouri (together, the “Nouris”), a former officer and employee of the Company, respectively, filed a complaint (the “Nouri Complaint”) to bring a summary proceeding against the Company in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The Nouri Complaint sought to compel the Company to advance legal fees and costs in the amount of $826,798 incurred by the Nouris in their defense of criminal proceedings brought against them by the United States, and in their defense of civil proceedings brought against them by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Company’s stockholders, together with future verified expenses that will be incurred by the Nouris in defending the actions against them and the expenses incurred by the Nouris in prosecuting the advancement action against the Company.
 
On July 29, 2009, the Court of Chancery granted summary judgment of the Nouri Complaint in favor of the Nouris. By order dated August 6, 2009, the Company is obligated to pay to the Nouris $826,798 in advanced expenses for legal services performed by counsel to the Nouris through April 2009.  The Company has recorded a total of unpaid legal expense obligations of $1,798,595 for this matter based on invoices received from the Nouris’ law firms through March 31, 2010, which figure does not include invoices generated but not yet received. A current note receivable is recorded for the same amount due from the individuals.
 
 On June 18, 2010, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") with Dennis Michael Nouri, Reza Eric Nouri, Henry Nouri and Ronna Loprete Nouri (collectively, the “Nouri Parties”). The Settlement Agreement provides for the payment by the Company of up to $1,400,000. Of that amount, $500,000 is payable within ten days after the date (the “Effective Date”) of preliminary judicial approval of the class action settlement described above (“Class Action Preliminary Judicial Approval”), and $900,000 is payable in twelve fixed monthly installments of $75,000 commencing 60 days after the Effective Date, with the last four scheduled installments totaling $300,000 subject to reduction to the extent that fees and disbursements for the Nouris’ appeal are below certain levels or if the appeal is not taken to final adjudication. The Settlement Agreement provides for the exchange of mutual releases by the parties.
 
Please refer to Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 for a further description of material legal proceedings.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors
 
Other than with respect to the risk factors described below, there have been no changes in our risk factors for our quarter ended June 30, 2010 from those previously reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 14, 2010.
 
We previously noted that the Paragon line of credit was set to expire on August 11, 2010. On August 10, 2010, Paragon Bank extended the maturity date of the Paragon note from August 11, 2010 to October 11, 2010 with the provision that the standby letter of credit in the amount of $2,500,000 securing the Paragon note is also extended to November 17, 2010. If we are unable to establish a new line of credit, we may have difficulty dealing with cash flow activities of daily business operations that will be disruptive to the future success of the business.
