SECTION 1 - REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
Through a Share Purchase Agreement, entered into as of June 21, 2007, we purchased the issued and outstanding capital stock of DocuCom Imaging Solutions Inc., an Ontario, Canada, corporation. The net aggregate purchase price, after closing adjustments by the parties, was Cdn$2,761,097 (approximately US$2.58 million), of which amount we paid the selling shareholders Cdn$961,097 (approximately US$900,000), at closing on June 22, 2007. The purchase agreement provided that we are to pay the selling shareholders Cdn$900,000 (approximately US$840,000) three months after closing and Cdn$900,000 (approximately US$840,000) nine months after closing. We secured the subsequent payments through a bank-issued irrevocable standby letter of credit in favor of the selling shareholders in the aggregate amount of Cdn$1,800,000 (approximately US$1.68 million). The purchase price is subject to further downward adjustment in the event that a contract between DocuCom and a specific customer is not renewed through no earlier than March 31, 2008. In connection with the closing, we paid Cdn$450,000 (US$420,000) to retire DocuCom’s credit facility, which also extinguished certain personal guarantees of Raymond Patterson and Martin Mollot, the former senior officers, directors, and, directly and through their family trusts, shareholders of DocuCom.
 
Included in the purchase agreement were five-year covenants by Messrs Patterson and Mollot not to compete with DocuCom’s business in Canada or the United States. The Share Purchase Agreement also contained customary representations, warranties, and indemnities by the selling shareholders in our favor.
 
As of the closing, Messrs. Patterson and Mollot entered into nine-month Consulting Agreements with us, whereby they agreed to assist us in an orderly transition of management of DocuCom. During the initial three months of the consulting term, each individual agreed to devote substantially the same amount of time and attention as devoted by them to DocuCom’s business through the closing date and we agreed to compensate each of them Cdn$7,500 (approximately US$7,000) per month. During the remaining six months of the term, each individual agreed to make himself available for lesser periods of time and we agreed that, during such six months, each individual could accept other engagements, so long as they did not constitute a direct conflict of interest with us or adversely affect the performance of their consulting services. We agreed to compensate each of them Cdn$1,000 (approximately US$935) during each of such remaining six months.
 
DocuCom, headquartered in Toronto, Canada, is a leading Canadian provider of digital and film-based document management solutions, offering document management products and services to government and middle market enterprises located throughout Canada, with the majority of its business based in the Toronto/Ottawa/Montreal business corridor. DocuCom also operates a depot repair facility in Toronto. On-site field service is provided to customers through its relationship with Kodak Canada Inc.
 
DocuCom was established in 1996, when Messrs. Patterson and Mollot acquired the Document Management Division of Bell & Howell Canada. Its sales are managed primarily through a direct sales force in Ontario and Quebec and a combination of indirect and direct sales in Western Canada and Atlantic Canada. DocuCom currently has approximately 30 employees.
 
DocuCom sells and services a full suite of systems that facilitate the capture, storage, and retrieval of document images using micrographic and digital technologies. The services it provides to its customers commence with initial consultations and continue through design, implementation, and support of high-end imaging solutions. Its customers typically receive and maintain large volumes of paper-based records that require DocuCom’s high-volume, complex systems that scan and capture the data and deposit it into an application-specific data warehouse that consists of a wide variety of computer-based databases and formats for the support of easy access through indexed retrieval, as well as for long-term data archival.
 
DocuCom’s imaging solutions include state-of-the-art products from some of the world's leading document imaging and software manufacturers, such as Fujitsu, Kodak, and Kofax. In addition to selling third party hardware, software, and supplies, DocuCom also supports its solutions on an ongoing basis. Approximately 50% of its existing business is provided under recurring revenue customer service contracts through which DocuCom supports its customer’s document management and imaging based requirements.
 
Our plan is to merge DocuCom with our existing ECM/Document Management division based in Winnipeg, Canada.

(G)
Sellers understand and agree to each and every term and condition contained in §6(e) of this Agreement.

1.         DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS
 
DocuCom Limited Partnership ("the Partnership'') sells and services systems for the capture, storage and retrieval of document images using micrographic and digital technologies throughout Canada.
 
2.        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
These financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, reflect the accounting policies set out below.
 
Measurement uncertainty
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.
 
Unincorporated business
 
Since this business is unincorporated, the accompanying financial statements do not provide for taxes on income and do not include all the assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses of the partners. No provision has been made for salaries, interest or similar items accruing to the partners.
 
Revenue recognition
 
 
a)
Sales are normally recognized when the products are shipped, at which time title passes to the customer.
 
 
b)
Revenue derived from the sale of service contracts is initially recorded as deferred revenue when billed. Billings commonly occur two months before the contract commences. Deferred revenue represents approximately two months worth of advance service billings.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories of finished goods and service parts are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, on a first-in first-out basis.

5. BANK INDEBTEDNESS
 
The Partnership has available $1,400,000 (2004 - $2,000,000) credit facilities by way of a combination of:
 
 
1.
Account overdraft which is due on demand and bearing interest at bank prime plus 1.25%. As of the year-end, $51,244 of the facility is utilized (2004 - $406,898).
 
 
2.
Bank Acceptance which is renewable monthly, bearing interest at the bankers acceptance monthly rate with a 2.35% annual fee. As of the year-end, $0 of the facility is utilized (2004 - $1,000,000).
 
The account overdraft and bankers acceptance are secured by a general assignment of book debts, a security agreement over inventories, a first ranking general security agreement over all assets, an assignment of fire insurance and the guarantees of two directors of the partner corporations aggregating $800,000.
 
The credit facilities agreement requires maintenance of certain covenants, including a minimum current ratio of 1.15:1, a minimum net worth of $1,000,000 and a maximum debt to net worth ratio of 3.00:1. At the year-end, the Partnership is not in violation of any covenants.

    $
339,722
 
 
The Partnership has available $500,000 demand revolving loan, for which the principal repayment terms are determined by a formula based on the net book value of rental assets. To the extent that 75% of the net book value of the rental assets exceed the loan outstanding, no principal repayments are required. Interest incurred on long term debt amounted to approximately $15,000.
 
7. GUARANTEE FOR PARTNER
 
The Partnership has guaranteed the bank indebtedness of a partner to an amount not exceeding $300,000. Such a bank indebtedness bears interest at bank prime rate and is secured by a general assignment of the assets of the Partnership.

AUDITORS' REPORT


 
To the Partners of DocuCom Limited Partnership
 
We have audited the balance sheet of DocuCom Limited Partnership as at October 31, 2006 and the statements of loss, partners' capital and cash flow for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
 
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the partnership as at October 31, 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Unincorporated business
 
Since this business is unincorporated, the accompanying financial statements do not provide for taxes on income and do not include all the assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses of the partners. No provision has been made for salaries, interest or similar items accruing to the partners.
 
Inventories

Inventories of finished goods and service parts are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, on a first-in first-out basis.
 
Capital assets

Capital assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Capital assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives at the following rates and methods:
 
Rental assets
3 years
 
straight-line method
Computer software
100%
 
declining balance method
Computer equipment
30%
 
declining balance method
Equipment
20%
 
declining balance method
Leasehold improvements
5 years
 
straight-line method
 
For assets acquired or brought into use during the year, other than rental assets, amortization is calculated at 50% of the full year's amortization. For rental assets, amortization is calculated from the month following that in which additions come into operation. During the year, the Partnership recorded amortization on capital assets of $241,299 (2005- $238,511). $168,851 (2005 - $162,625) was included in cost of sales and $72,448 (2005- $75,886) was included in operating costs.
 
Impairment of long-lived assets

The Partnership reviews long-lived assets for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When indicators of impairment in the carrying value of the assets exist, and the carrying value is greater than the net recoverable value, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the fair value is below the carrying value. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.

Measurement uncertainty
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

DOCUCOM IMAGING SOLUTIONS INC. BUSINESS COMBINATION

On June 21, 2007, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of DocuCom Imaging Solutions Inc., a Canadian corporation (“DocuCom”) for a total purchase price of Cdn$2,761,097 (approximately US$2.58 million).  The DocuCom results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.  In addition to adding the DocuCom data and document management solutions capability with its long term Canada-based customer relationships, the acquisition enhanced the Company’s ability to offer high quality, cost-effective service utilizing its near shore delivery model to its US customers.

The purchase price consisted of cash in the amount of Cdn$961,097 (approximately US$910,000), at closing on June 21, 2007.  The purchase agreement also provided that the Company pay the selling shareholders Cdn$900,000 (approximately US$840,000) three months after closing and Cdn$900,000 (approximately US$840,000) nine months after closing.  The Company secured the subsequent payments through a bank-issued irrevocable standby letter of credit in favor of the selling shareholders in the aggregate amount of Cdn$1,800,000 (approximately US$1.68 million).  The letter of credit was securitized by the deposit of $1,948,434 that is shown on the balance sheet as restricted cash as of June 30, 2007.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of the Company and DocuCom for the year ended December 31, 2006 and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2006 and January 1, 2007, respectively.
