Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The information contained in these financial statements and notes for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007 should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Allin Corporation (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2006. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These interim statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. It is management’s opinion that all adjustments (including all normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made. However, results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. See Notes 2 – Share-Based Payment, 5 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, 6—Income Taxes and 7 – Industry Segment Information for information concerning the Company’s basis of presentation and accounting policies regarding these matters. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. It is the Company’s policy to consolidate all majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities where the Company has control.

Reclassification

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 reflects a reclassification to the statement as originally reported to conform the prior period information to the current presentation. The increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable recorded by the Company is now shown as an adjustment to reconcile net loss to net cash flows from operating activities. In the previous presentation, the increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts had been netted with the change in accounts receivable shown under changes in certain assets and liabilities. There are no changes to the net cash flows used by operating activities or the net change in cash and cash equivalents for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletins 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, and 104, Revenue Recognition, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statements of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (“SOP 97-2”), and 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (“SOP 81-1”), Accounting Research Bulletin No. 45, Long-Term Construction-Type Contracts (“ARB No. 45”), Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (“EITF No. 00-21”), and other authoritative accounting literature. The Company’s revenue recognition policies are described below for each of the revenue captions on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Consulting Services

Consulting services are provided by the Company’s Technology Infrastructure, Collaborative Solutions, Business Process and Interactive Media Practice Areas. The Company’s policy is to recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, price is fixed or determinable, services have been rendered and collectibility is reasonably assured. Fees are time-based for the majority of consulting engagements, with revenue recognized as the services are performed. The practice areas also operate under service contracts for which a fixed amount is charged for services for a specified time period. Revenue is recognized for service contracts on a pro-rata basis over the applicable time period. Certain consulting engagements for these practice areas are performed on a fixed-price basis. Revenue is recognized on a proportional performance basis, utilizing the proportion of labor expended through the end of the period to expected total project labor.

Certain consulting projects are part of related arrangements, including computer hardware and equipment for specialized technology platforms, software, services, and post-contract support (“PCS”). SOP 97-2 specifies that if an arrangement to deliver software or a software system, either alone or together with other products or services, requires significant production, modification, or customization of software, the entire arrangement should be accounted for in conformity with the contract accounting guidance of ARB No. 45 and SOP 81-1. Arrangements for these projects involve significant software modification, including the installation of customized software applications previously developed for the customer. Revenue for fixed-price service-based arrangements associated with these projects is recognized on the percentage of completion method of contract accounting, based on the proportion of labor expended through the end of the period to expected total project labor. Arrangements for these projects frequently include PCS for a ninety-day period following system installation. A portion of the contract value is allocated to the PCS based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value based on rates when sold separately and, in accordance with SOP 97-2, revenue is recognized for PCS over the period when services are performed.

The Company’s practice areas perform consulting projects where the Company recommends that the customer implement technology products to facilitate technology-based solutions. Under some of these arrangements, the Company also sells the recommended technology products to the customer. When consulting services are part of multiple-deliverable arrangements, revenue from services and product sales are recognized separately based on VSOE, in accordance with SOP 97-2 and EITF No. 00-21.

Systems Integration

Systems integration includes projects conducted by the Company’s practice areas that are part of related arrangements, including computer hardware and other equipment, software and services. The Company follows the contract accounting guidance of ARB No. 45 and SOP 81-1, as specified by SOP 97-2, in accounting for revenue derived under these arrangements that involve significant software modification. The Company’s revenue recognition method for systems integration projects is based on the size and expected duration of the project. For projects in excess of $250,000 of revenue and expected to be of greater than 90 days duration, revenue is recognized based on percentage of completion. The proportion of labor incurred to expected total project labor is utilized as a quantitative factor in determining the percentage of completion recognized for projects when the proportion of total project costs incurred to expected total project costs is not representative of actual project completion status. For projects with expected revenue of $250,000 or less, or expected duration of 90 days or less, revenue is recognized upon completion of the project. Systems integration arrangements do not include rights for hardware or equipment upgrades, and the majority do not include rights for software upgrades. Certain arrangements include rights for software upgrades upon the Company’s development of any upgrades. However, the Company is under no obligation to develop upgrades on any schedule or at all.

Information System Product Sales

Information system product sales arise from both stand-alone product sales and as part of multiple-deliverable arrangements associated with consulting projects, where the Company recommends that the customer implement certain technology products in order to facilitate technology-based solutions. Revenue for stand-alone product sales is recognized when the price has been determined, delivery has occurred and collectibility is reasonably assured. Where information system product sales are part of multiple-deliverable arrangements, revenue from product sales and consulting services are recognized separately based on SOP 97-2 and EITF No. 00-21. Revenue for the Company’s

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

information system product sales is reported on a gross basis, in accordance with the guidelines of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, based on the Company’s assumption of primary responsibility for fulfillment of the sales, collection risk on amounts billed to customers and inventory risk. Amounts billed to customers for shipping charges are recorded as revenue. Amounts billed for sales tax are not recorded as revenue.

Other Services

The Company has a small number of engagements under which technical resources are provided to customers on an outsourced basis. The Company recognizes revenue for these engagements in a similar manner as discussed above for time-based consulting services. Other services revenue also results from software license fees, website hosting and archival fees, contractual commissions, placement fees and customer billings for recovery of out-of-pocket costs associated with the performance of consulting and systems integration engagements. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, services have been rendered and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for consulting services includes labor cost for customer projects applied at the consultants’ standard hourly cost rates times hours charged. The standard hourly cost rates for salaried consultants, who represent a significant majority of the Company’s labor force, are determined by dividing their annual salary by the Company’s estimate of standard annual hours available for customer projects, and then adding a burden percentage estimate for payroll taxes, benefits and workers compensation. For hourly-based consultants, the standard hourly cost rate is the hourly rate plus a burden percentage. The Company also utilizes independent contractors for customer projects and records labor costs at their respective hourly rates. Labor cost is applied in this manner for consulting projects where revenue is recognized based on hourly fees and under service contracts where fixed amounts of revenue are recognized on a pro-rata basis over specified time periods. The Company uses incurred labor to expected total project labor as the basis for recognition of labor cost of sales where revenue is recognized on a proportional performance basis. The aggregate of project labor charges at standard hourly cost rates and estimated burden is utilized as incurred labor cost.

The Company follows contract accounting in recording cost of sales for systems integration projects involving significant software modification. The Company applies project cost of sales for computer hardware, software, equipment and other costs in a manner consistent with the basis for recognition of revenue on the project, percentage of completion or completed contract. The proportion of labor incurred to expected total project labor is utilized as a quantitative factor in determining the percentage of completion recognized for projects when the proportion of total project costs incurred to expected total project costs is not representative of actual project completion status. For projects with expected revenue of $250,000 or less, or expected duration of 90 days or less, cost of sales is recognized upon completion of the project.

Cost of sales associated with information system product sales is recognized when delivery of the product has occurred. Where information system product sales are part of multiple-deliverable arrangements, cost of sales for products and consulting services are recognized separately based on SOP 97-2 and EITF No. 00-21. Cost of sales for the Company’s information system product sales is reported on a gross basis and includes both product and shipping cost.

The Company recognizes cost of sales for its outsourced resource engagements in a similar manner as discussed above for time-based practice area consulting services. Other services cost of sales also results from operations such as website hosting and archival. Other services cost of sales is recognized for out-of-pocket costs associated with the performance of consulting and systems integration engagements.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include compensation and related payroll taxes, benefits and workers compensation for the Company’s executive management, practice area management, sales, marketing, financial and administrative employees. Selling, general and administrative expenses also reflect the portion of consulting staff time not associated directly with customer projects. Such time for consultants includes education and training, technical

evaluation of customer requests for proposal and assistance with project proposal preparation. Selling, general and administrative expenses include the cost for paid time off for all employees. Other significant selling, general and administrative expenses include professional legal, accounting and consulting services, rent and operating expenses for the Company’s offices, travel, entertainment, communications and insurance. Expense is recorded for any sales tax charged by vendors or use tax accrued by the Company related to purchases recorded as selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses include depreciation and amortization and any losses recognized due to impairment or disposal of assets.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share (“EPS”) of common stock have been computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share (“SFAS No. 128”). The shares used in calculating basic and diluted EPS include the weighted average of the outstanding common shares of the Company. Prior to the expiration of their exercise or convertibility period, if any, outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible preferred stock would all be considered dilutive securities under SFAS No. 128. The following schedule summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share under SFAS No. 128:

Each of the Company’s 150 shares of Series G Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock is convertible into 28,571 shares of the Company’s common stock. The potentially convertible shares were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. The exercise price of warrants outstanding exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007. Accordingly, warrants were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS for those periods. Outstanding warrants to purchase common shares for which the exercise prices exceeded the respective period’s average market price of the common shares were 2,500,000 as of June 30, 2006 and 2007. The average market price of the common stock for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 exceeded the exercise prices for 345,000 stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2006. The average market prices of the common stock for the three- and

six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively, exceeded the exercise prices for 445,000 and 395,000 stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2007. The calculations of diluted EPS for these periods included the numbers of shares related to the stock options included in the table above.

Accounts Receivable and Unbilled Services

The Company’s subsidiaries record accounts receivable based upon billing for services and products. Unbilled services are recorded when labor-based services have been provided prior to the end of the period and invoicing has not occurred. The Company evaluates the extension of credit to potential customers based on financial or other information and any special circumstances regarding the potential engagement. Payment for services or products is normally due within thirty days of billing, although alternate terms may be included in contracts or letters of engagement as agreed upon by the Company and the customer. Accounts receivable are not normally collateralized. The Company does not routinely charge interest on past due accounts receivable. However, the Company will occasionally reach agreement with a customer on a payment plan for accounts receivable that includes interest charges if the Company believes this will facilitate collection. In these instances, interest income is recognized as payments are received. As of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, the Company’s risk of loss for accounts receivable and unbilled services was limited to the amounts recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of those dates.

Allowances on accounts receivable are recorded when circumstances indicate collection is doubtful for particular accounts receivable or as a general reserve for all accounts receivable based on the Company’s history with write-offs of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are written off if reasonable collection efforts prove unsuccessful. Bad debt expense is reflected in other selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations when allowances on accounts receivable are increased or when accounts written off exceed available allowances.

As of June 30, 2007, one significant customer comprised 26% of the Company’s accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2006, one significant customer comprised 11% of the Company’s accounts receivable.

Costs and Estimated Gross Margins in Excess of Billings and Billings in Excess of Costs and Estimated Gross Margins

Costs and estimated gross margins in excess of billings and billings in excess of costs and estimated gross margins reflect projects with related Consulting Services, Systems Integration and Other Services elements for which revenue and cost of sales are being recognized on a contract basis of accounting. For individual projects, costs and estimated gross margins in excess of billings consist of costs not yet recognized as cost of sales and estimated gross margins, net of amounts billed but not yet recognized as revenue, while billings in excess of costs and estimated gross margins consist of amounts billed but not yet recognized as revenue, net of costs which have not yet been recognized as cost of sales and estimated gross margins. Projects with costs and estimated gross margins in excess of billings are aggregated separately from projects with billings in excess of costs and estimated gross margins for presentation on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Software Development Costs and Research and Development Expense

The Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007 include capitalized software development costs of $526,000 and $716,000, respectively, net of accumulated amortization. Software development costs include purchased software development tools, testing equipment and the cost of Company labor incurred during the period subsequent to the Company’s determination that technical feasibility had been achieved for the developed software applications but prior to commercial introduction of the software applications. Costs incurred prior to the attainment of technical feasibility in 2005 and costs incurred subsequent to commercial introduction in May 2007, consisting primarily of internal labor, have been expensed. There was no expense recorded during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006. During each of the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, $102,000 of research and development expense was recorded. Additionally, there was $42,000 of amortization expense recorded during each of the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 related to capitalized software development costs.

Market Risk Sensitive Instruments

The Company currently has not invested in derivative financial instruments or other market rate sensitive instruments.

Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue is recorded for customer billings for which services will be performed or products delivered in future periods. Such amounts are recognized as revenue when services are performed or products are delivered. As of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, respectively, deferred revenue represented amounts expected to be recognized as revenue within one year of the applicable date.

Accrued Acquisition Consideration

Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-8 Accounting for Contingent Consideration Paid to the Shareholders of an Acquired Enterprise in a Purchase Business Combination (“EITF No. 95-8”) provides guidance for accounting for contingent consideration. EITF No. 95-8 states that the determination of whether contingent consideration based on earnings or other performance measures should be accounted for as an adjustment of the purchase price of the acquired enterprise or as expense for compensation for services or profit sharing is a matter of judgment that depends on the relevant facts and circumstances. EITF No. 95-8 specifies that an evaluation of the appropriate accounting for contingent consideration should include a review of factors involving continuing employment of former equity holders of the acquired enterprise, components of the shareholder group, reasons for the contingent payments, the formula for determining contingent consideration payments and other arrangements and issues.

The Stock Purchase Agreement entered into for the Company’s 2005 acquisition of CodeLab Technology Group, Inc. (“CodeLab”) provides for annual payments of contingent consideration to be paid to the former holders of equity interests in CodeLab for each of the three annual periods ending July 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, consisting of a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. Any contingent payments due for the three annual periods will be calculated pursuant to a negotiated formula, as specifically set forth in the Purchase Agreement, that is based upon an agreed to multiple of the net operating profit of CodeLab’s business, determined on an accrual basis before deductions for income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization, in the relevant annual period, and subject to further adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including potential setoffs by the Company for certain indemnification claims. The total annual contingent payments shall not exceed $5,600,000 in any or all of the three annual periods and if due shall be made by the Company not later than 120 days following the end of such annual period. The Company does not believe that the final amount of consideration to be paid under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, even if it includes the maximum contingent consideration, is in excess of the fair value of the CodeLab equity interests received.

As of December 31, 2006, on the basis of management’s evaluation of CodeLab’s operating results for August through December 2006 and 2007 projections, the Company believed it was highly likely that contingent consideration would be paid for the second annual period ending July 31, 2007 and that the amount could be reasonably estimated as $1,623,000. As of June 30, 2007, based on subsequent operations and revised projections, the Company’s estimate of contingent consideration to be paid for the second annual period was $1,543,000. The change in estimate was recorded through reductions of $80,000 to goodwill and accrued acquisition consideration. A portion of the estimated consideration, $101,000, is expected to be recorded as expense for compensatory elements over the second annual period. Expense of $48,000 and $46,000 was included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 and six-month period ended June 30, 2007 for compensatory elements for the second annual period. Expense of $7,000 was also recognized during July 2007 for compensatory arrangements. The remainder of the estimated contingent consideration for the second annual period was regarded as additional purchase price. A total of $1,522,000 was recorded as goodwill as of December 31, 2006, with the recorded balance reduced to $1,442,000 as of June 30, 2007. Accrued acquisition consideration of $1,570,000 and $1,536,000 is reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, respectively, related to the second annual period.

The Asset Purchase Agreement entered into in 2004 under which Allin Consulting of Pennsylvania, Inc. (“Allin Consulting-Pennsylvania”) acquired certain assets owned by, and assumed certain liabilities of, Accounting Technology

Professionals, L.L.C. d/b/a Jimary Business Systems (“Jimary Business Systems”) also provided for contingent consideration for the purchased assets in the form of annual earn-out payments in cash for each of three annual periods ending November 30, 2005, 2006 and 2007 based on agreed upon percentages of “Earn-Out Margin” for each annual period generated from consulting and product sale revenue, determined and adjusted in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement. The aggregate amount of all such annual earn-out payments shall not exceed $252,000. Any contingent purchase consideration due is to be remitted to Jimary Business Systems within sixty days of the end of each such annual period. Contingent consideration of $29,000 for the second annual period ended November 30, 2006 is included in accrued acquisition consideration on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2006, and was subsequently paid in January 2007. The contingent consideration for the second annual period was recorded as goodwill. As of March 31, 2007, on the basis of management’s evaluation of Allin Consulting-Pennsylvania’s operating results for December 2006 through March 2007 and projections for the remainder of the third annual period, the Company believed it was highly likely that contingent consideration would be paid for the annual period ending November 30, 2007 and that the amount could be reasonably estimated as $213,000. The estimated contingent consideration was regarded as additional purchase price and was recorded as goodwill. As of June 30, 2007, based on subsequent operations and revised projections, the Company’s estimate of contingent consideration to be paid for the second annual period was $192,000. The change in estimate was recorded through reductions of $21,000 to goodwill and accrued acquisition consideration. Accrued acquisition consideration of $192,000 is reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2007 related to the third annual period.

As of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, respectively, the accrued acquisition consideration balances also include $3,000 and $2,000 related to Allin-Consulting-Pennsylvania’s 2004 acquisition of certain assets owned by McCrory & McDowell LLC and utilized in the operations of its Computer Resources division (“Computer Resources”).

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN No. 48”), which prescribes measurement attributes and a recognition threshold, as well as criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions for financial reporting purposes. FIN No. 48 also requires additional disclosure concerning uncertainty related to deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Any adjustments resulting from implementation of FIN No. 48 are required to be recognized as changes in accounting principles with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Implementation of FIN No. 48 is required for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted FIN No. 48 beginning January 1, 2007. The Company reviewed its previously recognized tax benefits and determined that no material uncertainty was indicated as of the implementation of the new standard. There have been no subsequent changes to the Company’s determination regarding its previously recognized tax benefits. In 2007, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48-1, Definition of “Settlement” in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN No. 48-1”), which provides clarification regarding the effective settlement of tax positions upon examination by a taxing authority. FIN No. 48-1 has not impacted the Company’s application of FIN No. 48 to date.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”), which provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and expands required information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Implementation of SFAS No. 157 is required for the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 157 beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption of SFAS No. 157.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Financial Statements – Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB No. 108”), which provides guidance regarding how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether material misstatement exists. SAB No. 108 indicates that both of the commonly used approaches for assessing the materiality of a current year misstatement should be

evaluated. If correcting a current year misstatement would materially alter the amount of misstatement attributable to prior years, the SEC indicates the prior year financial statements should be adjusted to reflect the correction, although previously filed reports do not need to be amended. If a registrant had properly applied one of the materiality approaches in prior years and had considered all relevant qualitative factors in its materiality assessment, it could alternately recognize the cumulative effect of applying SAB No. 108 prospectively through changes to beginning balances of the affected assets and liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the first fiscal period following November 15, 2006. Implementation of SAB No. 108 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to choose fair value measurement for many financial instruments and certain other items as of specified election dates. Business entities will thereafter report in earnings the unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been chosen. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument, may not be applied to portions of instruments and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. SFAS No. 159 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 159 beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption of SFAS No. 159.

SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The Company used the modified prospective transition method, which requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options beginning with the period of adoption of SFAS No. 123R.

During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, the Company recognized expense of $5,000 and $7,000, respectively, related to the fair value of share-based payment arrangements. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, the Company recognized expense of $11,000 and $15,000, respectively, related to the fair value of share-based payment arrangements. Based on estimates for non-vested options outstanding as of June 30, 2007 and the options granted in July 2007, the Company anticipates future expense will be recognized related to the fair value of share-based payment arrangements of $33,000 during the remainder of 2007, $61,000 during each of the years 2008 and 2009, $57,000 during 2010, $52,000 during 2011 and $23,000 during 2012.

3. Preferred Stock and Changes in Shareholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

The Company has the authority to issue 100,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.01 per share. Of the authorized shares, 25,000 have been designated as Series C Redeemable Preferred Stock, 2,750 as Series D Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, 1,000 as Series F Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, 150 as Series G Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and 250 as Series H Redeemable Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2007, all of the designated shares of Series C, D, F, G and H preferred stock were outstanding and the Company has no plans to issue any additional shares of any of the series of preferred stock. The order of liquidation preference of the series of the Company’s preferred stock outstanding as of this date, from senior to junior, is Series H, Series F, Series G, Series D and Series C.

Accrued dividends on Series C preferred stock were $3,654,000 as of June 30, 2007. The initial payment of accrued dividends on Series C preferred stock was scheduled to occur within ten days of June 30, 2006. However, the Company’s management determined that meeting the scheduled payment was inadvisable because, among other reasons, the Company’s credit agreement with S&T Bank currently prohibits payment of dividends on Series C preferred stock. Management deferred payment of the accrued dividends. Any future payment of dividends on Series C preferred stock is subject to legally available funds for the payment of dividends as prescribed by the Delaware General Corporation Law. If at a future time the Company determines that payment would be advisable, it will seek elimination of the prohibition of payment under the S&T Loan Agreement if still in effect. Dividends accrued as of June 30, 2006 on the Series C preferred stock compound at a rate of 12% of the liquidation value thereof per annum effective July 1, 2006. Dividends accrued subsequent to July 1, 2006 also accrue and compound at a rate of 12% per annum. Management does not currently expect dividend payments will be commenced for Series C preferred stock during the remainder of 2007 or during 2008.

4. Line of Credit

On October 1, 1998, the Company and S&T Bank, a Pennsylvania banking association, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “S&T Loan Agreement”), under which S&T Bank agreed to extend the Company a line of credit. The original term of the line of credit was one year, and it has subsequently been renewed for eight annual periods. The current expiration date of the line of credit is September 30, 2007. Borrowings may be made under the S&T Loan Agreement for general working capital purposes. The maximum borrowing availability under the line of credit is the lesser of $5,000,000 or 80% of the aggregate gross amount of eligible trade accounts receivable. Accounts receivable qualifying for inclusion in the borrowing base are net of any prepayments, progress payments, deposits or retention and must not be subject to any prior assignment, claim, lien, or security interest. Accounts receivable aged ninety days or less from the date of invoice are eligible for inclusion in the maximum borrowing availability, except that accounts receivable from two customers aged up to one hundred twenty days may also be included. During July 2007, the S&T Loan Agreement was amended such that a large invoice receivable from one of these customers was eligible for inclusion in the maximum borrowing availability through July 31, 2007 despite being aged greater than one hundred twenty days. The Company received payment of this invoice during July 2007.

As of June 30, 2007, maximum borrowing availability under the line of credit was $2,499,000. The July 2007 amendment to the S&T Loan Agreement temporarily increased the maximum borrowing availability by $1,408,000. The outstanding balance under the S&T Loan Agreement as of June 30, 2007 was $2,245,000. There was no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2006. The increase in the line of credit balance was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable of $2,847,000 during the first half of 2007. The majority of this increase resulted from a significant February 2007 advance billing to a customer for services to be performed throughout 2007. Collection of this invoice occurred during July 2007. There was also turnover in the parties responsible for handling the Company’s account with two major cruise line customers during this period, slowing payment processing. Significant progress in collecting accounts receivable has been made during July and August 2007. As of August 3, 2007, the outstanding balance under the S&T Loan Agreement was $295,000, a net repayment of $1,950,000 since June 30, 2007.

Loans made under the revolving credit loan bear interest at the bank’s prime interest rate plus one percent. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the rate of interest applicable to outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit loan was 9.25%. There have been no changes to the interest rate subsequent to June 30, 2007.

The revolving credit loan includes provisions granting S&T Bank a security interest in certain assets of the Company, including its accounts receivable, equipment, lease rights for real property, and inventory. The revolving credit loan also includes reporting requirements regarding annual audit reports, monthly financial reports, monthly accounts receivable and payable reports and weekly borrowing base certificates. The revolving credit loan also includes various covenants relating to matters affecting the Company, including insurance coverage, financial accounting practices, audit rights, prohibited transactions, dividends and stock purchases. The covenants also include a cash flow to interest ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0. Cash flow is defined as operating income before depreciation, amortization and interest. The cash flow coverage ratio is measured for each of the Company’s fiscal quarters. The Company was in compliance with the cash flow covenant for the first and second fiscal quarters of 2007 and is in compliance with all other covenants as of the date of filing this Report on Form 10-Q.

5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company follows Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141”), No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”), and No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS No. 144”), in accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is not amortized, but separable intangible assets deemed to have definite lives are amortized over their useful lives. SFAS No. 144 sets forth standards for testing for the potential impairment of long-lived assets, including amortized intangible assets. Goodwill and intangible assets associated with acquisitions prior to 2002, when SFAS Nos. 141, 142 and 144 were adopted, were valued in accordance with Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 16, Accounting for Business Combinations (“APB No. 16”). Under APB No. 16, goodwill was an amortizable asset. The table below lists businesses acquired by the Company, year of acquisition and types of intangible assets acquired.

The Company believes that evaluation of risk factors and testing for potential impairment are most beneficial to financial reporting when done as of the end of a fiscal period because this timing results in estimates and determinations based on the most recent data. Consequently, the Company performs annual tests for the potential impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets as of December 31. Key risk factors are monitored on an ongoing basis and testing for potential impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets will be performed on an interim basis if indicators of potential impairment arise.

Goodwill

As of June 30, 2007, the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet includes goodwill (net of accumulated amortization) of $5,074,000. Accumulated amortization for goodwill represents amortization expense incurred through December 31, 2001, after which amortization of goodwill was discontinued. The table below reflects the changes in recognized value of goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2006 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, by reportable segment.

The goodwill attributed to the Business Process and Information Systems Product Sales segments during 2006 and 2007 resulted from contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Jimary Business Systems for the second and third annual periods following acquisition. The goodwill attributed to the Technology Infrastructure, Collaborative Solutions, Systems Integration and Other Services segments during 2006 resulted from contingent consideration related to the first and second annual periods following the acquisition of CodeLab.

Testing for potential impairment of goodwill involves an attribution of the recognized assets of the acquired businesses, including cash, accounts receivable, unbilled services, prepaid expenses, deferred tax assets, property and equipment, customer lists, non-competition agreements and goodwill, net of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, deferred revenue and deferred tax liabilities, to reporting units. The reporting units utilized are the Company’s reported segments applicable to the acquired businesses, Technology Infrastructure, Collaborative Solutions, Business Process, Systems Integration, Information System Product Sales and Other Services, further broken down geographically between Northern California-based, Pittsburgh-based and Boston-based operations. Recognized assets are attributed to reporting units in a manner consistent with that used for segment reporting. Management utilizes industry information for public technology consulting businesses to develop assumptions for appropriate revenue or earnings multiples for estimating the fair values of the reporting units. Estimated fair values are compared to the attributed recognized assets for each reporting unit, and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that attributed assets exceed the estimated fair value of any reporting unit. Key risk factors the Company monitors to evaluate the value of goodwill are the valuation multiples and the revenue levels of the reporting units. Significant declines in these factors could indicate potential impairment of goodwill. There was no impairment indicated in the annual testing of goodwill performed as of December 31, 2006.

Customer Lists and Non-Competition Agreements

As of June 30, 2007, the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet includes customer lists and non-competition agreements associated with acquisitions as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)

   Gross Carrying

Total intangible assets

   $ 2,802    $ 1,610    $ 1,192
                    

During the year ended December 31, 2006 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the customer list associated with the acquisition of CodeLab was amortized over a period ending in 2013, while the customer lists associated with the acquisitions of Allin Consulting-Pennsylvania, Computer Resources and Jimary Business Systems were amortized over periods ending in 2009. The useful lives correspond with the periods of attributed cash flows in the Company’s fair value estimates, or with CodeLab, the useful life recommended by independent appraisal at the time of acquisition. The non-competition agreement associated with the Jimary Business System acquisition is being amortized over its three-year term, while the agreement associated with the CodeLab acquisition is being amortized over a five-year term, as recommended in the independent appraisal.

To test for potential impairment of the customer lists, the Company utilizes a cash flow model to estimate fair value. The critical estimates are determination of the proportions of the estimated cash flows for the applicable reporting units to attribute to the acquired customer lists in each period and the assumed growth of the overall business operations. Management utilizes historical information related to business derived from the customers included on the acquired lists, future operating projections for the applicable reporting units and industry information concerning expected growth in the technology consulting industry to develop estimates of future cash flows for the reporting units and the portions of the estimated cash flows attributed to the customer lists. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows attributable to a customer list exceeds the recognized value of the customer list, no impairment is indicated. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the recognized value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the recognized value and the sum of the discounted cash flows attributable to the customer list. Key risk factors the Company monitors to evaluate the recorded value of the customer lists are forecast growth rates for the technology consulting industry, revenue derived from customers on the acquired lists and changes to the projected cash flows of the reporting units. Significant declines in these factors could indicate potential impairment of the customer lists. There was no impairment indicated from the annual testing as of December 31, 2006 for the customer lists.

The Company also utilizes a cash flow model to estimate the fair value of the non-competition agreements. The model projects the cash flows of the acquired business with the non-competition provisions in place and assuming they were absent. The difference in these projections represents the fair value of the non-competition provisions. Industry information concerning expected growth in the technology consulting industry is used to develop estimates of future cash flows over the remaining lives of the non-competition agreements. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows attributable to a non-competition agreement exceeds the recognized value of the agreement, no impairment is indicated. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the recognized value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the recognized value and the sum of the discounted cash flows. Key risk factors the Company monitors to evaluate the recorded value of the non-competition agreements are forecast growth rates for the technology consulting industry and changes to the projected cash flows of the reporting units either with or without the non-competition provisions in place. Significant changes in these factors could indicate potential impairment of the non-competition agreements. There was no impairment indicated in the testing of the non-competition agreements performed as of December 31, 2006.

Estimated amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 through December 31, 2010 includes anticipated amortization for capitalized software development.

6. Income Taxes

The Company records current and deferred provisions for or benefits from income taxes and deferred tax assets and liabilities in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS No. 109”). SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances reduce deferred tax assets if there is material uncertainty as to the ultimate realization of the benefits.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities, as of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, are as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

On the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, the deferred tax liabilities are netted against the non-current portion of deferred tax assets, as required by SFAS No. 109.

Valuation allowances have been recorded based on the Company’s realizability estimates such that the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include net deferred tax assets of $1,128,000 as of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007. Valuation allowances offset additional net deferred tax assets. Management believed it was more likely than not as of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007 that the net recognized deferred tax assets would be realized in future periods. Management assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets quarterly and adjusts the valuation allowance based on its assessment. The valuation allowance decreased by $1,310,000 and $392,000, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2006 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The Company’s results of operations in future periods are subject to a number of material risks, including risks arising from concentrations related to the Interactive Media and Systems Integration segments, where historical revenue has resulted from a small number of large projects for a small number of customers concentrated in one industry. However, based on the Company’s results of operations during 2006, the backlog of committed business for future periods and management’s assessment of opportunities that might arise from the Company’s customers, as of December 31, 2006 the Company believed the risks were mitigated such that a significant reduction in valuation allowance was appropriate. The Company believes that material uncertainty continues to exist as to the long-term realization of benefits greater than the recognized balance of deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2007.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company estimates its potentially realizable net operating loss carryforwards are approximately $17,501,000 and $25,025,000 for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively. The realization of the potential federal and state tax benefits related to net operating loss carryforwards, estimated to be approximately $5,950,000 and $1,261,000, respectively, as of June 30, 2007, depends on the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards are scheduled to expire at various times from 2010 through 2027. The Company files state income tax returns for California on a unitary basis. Tax returns for other states in which the Company or subsidiaries operate are filed on a single corporation basis, which may limit the Company’s ability to realize benefits related to net operating loss carryforwards. During 2006 and the first six months of 2007, the Company realized benefits from the use of previously recorded deferred tax assets for net operating loss carryforwards to reduce taxable income.

Cash Payments

Cash payments for income taxes were $43,000 and $14,000 during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Cash payments for income taxes were $44,000 and $26,000 during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes

On January 1, 2007, the Company implemented FIN No. 48, which prescribes measurement attributes and a recognition threshold, as well as criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions for financial reporting purposes. For the Company and its subsidiaries, U.S. federal income tax returns are filed on a consolidated basis and California income tax returns are filed on a unitary basis for the group. The Company and its subsidiaries also file various state income tax returns on a single corporation basis. The Company believes it is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2000. There were no income tax examinations in progress when the Company implemented FIN No. 48, none have subsequently commenced, nor has the Company or any of its subsidiaries been given notice of an impending examination.

The Company reviewed its previously recognized tax benefits and determined that no material uncertainty was indicated as of the implementation of the new standard. Consequently, no adjustments were recorded upon implementation of FIN No. 48 to establish liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company also reviewed the tax benefits it expects to recognize in 2007 in estimating federal and state income tax provisions for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and determined that no material uncertainty was indicated regarding the expected tax benefits. Consequently, a tabular reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits and any additions, reductions and changes has been omitted.

Based on the Company’s determination that no material uncertainty was indicated regarding previously recognized or expected tax benefits, no accrual for interest and penalties was recognized upon implementation of FIN No. 48 or for the three- or six-month periods ended June 30, 2007.

7. Industry Segment Information

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS No. 131”), as the basis for determining its segments. SFAS No. 131 requires use of a model for segment reporting called the “management approach”. The management approach is based on the way the chief operating decision maker organizes segments within a company for making decisions and assessing performance.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Basis for Determining Segments

The Company’s operations and management’s evaluations are primarily oriented around four practice areas meeting customer needs for Microsoft-based technology and interactive media services: Technology Infrastructure, Collaborative Solutions, Business Process and Interactive Media. The operations of these practice areas comprise the substantial majority of the Company’s revenue and gross profit and are closely associated with its strategic focus of providing solutions-oriented consulting services. The reportable segments related to these practice areas reflect aggregated practice area activity across the Company’s subsidiaries due to the similarity in nature of services, processes, and distribution methods for the practice areas. The Company’s reported segments are the following: Technology Infrastructure, Collaborative Solutions, Business Process, Interactive Media, Systems Integration, Information System Product Sales and Other Services. On the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, the first four of the segments are aggregated and captioned as Consulting Services. The Systems Integration, Information System Product Sales and Other Services segments correspond with matching captions on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Measurement Method

The Company’s basis for measurement of segment revenue, gross profit and assets is consistent with that utilized for the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheets. There are no differences in measurement method.

The Other Services segment reflects revenue derived from outsourced resources with varied technical skill sets that customers utilize to supplement internal staff in the execution of customer-managed projects, amounts billed for out-of-pocket costs, software license fees and other activities peripheral to the Company’s operations, including website hosting and archival services, referral commissions or placement fees. Other Services revenue represented 7% and 5% of the Company’s consolidated revenue during 2006 and the first six months of 2007.

Financial Overview

The following table provides a summary of key financial information from the Company’s Statements of Operations for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, as well as period-to-period percentage changes.

     2,279      2,921    28  %

Comparing the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company experienced period-to-period increases in revenue of $1,161,000 and gross profit of $259,000. The Company’s aggregate consulting services realized increases of $782,000 (21%) in revenue and $286,000 (13%) in gross profit. Significant period-to-period improvements in revenue and gross profit were realized by the Collaborative Solutions, Business Process, Interactive Media and Information System Product Sales segments. However, the Technology Infrastructure segment experienced period-to-period declines in revenue and gross profit that partially offset the increases. The Systems Integration and Other Services segments experienced period-to-period declines in gross profit despite increases in revenue, contributing to lower percentage growth in gross profit than in revenue.

The period-to-period increases in Collaborative Solutions revenue and gross profit were $691,000 (40%) and $290,000 (29%), respectively, comparing the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007. Management believes the increases resulted from strong demand for sophisticated custom application solutions utilizing .NET development, Microsoft SharePoint and business intelligence technologies. Management attributes the slower growth in gross profit to wage pressure for information technology professionals.

Comparing the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, Business Process revenue and gross profit increased by $205,000 (42%) and $163,000 (67%), respectively. Management attributes the increases to strong demand for Microsoft CRM-based solutions, which resulted in several large projects during the second quarter of 2007. The corresponding period-to-period increases in Information Systems Product Sales revenue and gross profit were $159,000 (61%) and $56,000 (84%) that resulted from large sales of Microsoft CRM and related software products in association with the large Business Process projects.

Period-to-period changes in Interactive Media included increases in revenue of $167,000 (30%) and gross profit of $23,000 (6%), comparing the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2007. During the second quarter of 2007, Interactive Media consulting included significant project activity for technical architecture design and configuration of equipment for three significant shipboard systems, the MSC Orchestra, the Costa Crociere S.p.A. (“Costa”) Serena and the Royal Caribbean Liberty of the Seas. The second quarter of 2006 included a significant level of activity for a comparable number of shipboard systems. Comparing the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, Systems Integration revenue increased by $194,000 (14%). However, period-to-period Systems Integration gross profit decreased by $52,000 (7%). Management attributes the decline in gross profit percentage to the Company’s aggressive efforts over the last year to increase market share by obtaining additional cruise line customers.

During July and August 2007, the Company’s backlog for the Interactive Media and Systems Integration segments increased significantly as a result of orders received for interactive television systems for the NCL Gem and the Mercury and Galaxy of Celebrity Cruises (“Celebrity”). The systems for the Mercury and Galaxy will be replacements for systems originally installed by the Company in 1998 and 1996, respectively. The Company expects that the majority of revenue associated with the NCL Gem and Celebrity Mercury projects will be earned during the second half of 2007, while the majority of revenue associated with the Celebrity Galaxy project will be earned in 2008.

The period-to-period decreases in Technology Infrastructure revenue and gross profit were $281,000 (31%) and $190,000 (37%), respectively, comparing the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007. Management primarily attributes the decreases to a lull in market demand during the early adoption period for Microsoft’s updated versions of several important technology products, including Windows and Office software. Management believes customers are deferring spending on technology-based projects at present in anticipation of undertaking projects following the early adoption period of the new Microsoft technology.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the comparable period of 2006, was $642,000. Period-to-period increases were realized in compensation for additions to the Company’s technical consulting, sales and marketing and administrative staffs, recruitment expenses, research and development expenses and depreciation and amortization.

The following table provides a summary of key financial information from the Company’s Statements of Operations for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, as well as period-to-period percentage changes.

Comparing the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company experienced period-to-period increases in revenue of $2,322,000 and gross profit of $828,000. The Company’s aggregate consulting services realized increases of $1,642,000 (23%) in revenue and $781,000 (18%) in gross profit. Significant period-to-period improvements in revenue and gross profit were realized by the Collaborative Solutions, Business Process, Interactive Media, Systems Integration and Information System Product Sales segments. However, the Technology Infrastructure and Other Services segments experienced period-to-period declines in revenue and gross profit that partially offset the increases.

The period-to-period increases in Collaborative Solutions revenue and gross profit were $1,305,000 (37%) and $576,000 (27%), respectively, comparing the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007. As discussed above, management believes the increases resulted from strong demand for solutions utilizing .NET development, Microsoft SharePoint and business intelligence technologies. Management attributes the slower growth in gross profit to wage pressure for information technology professionals.

Comparing the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, Business Process revenue and gross profit increased by $501,000 (54%) and $360,000 (72%), respectively. Management attributes the increases to strong demand for Microsoft Dynamics SL and CRM-based solutions, which resulted in a greater number of large projects during the first

half of 2007 than in the prior period. The period-to-period increases in Information Systems Product Sales revenue and gross profit were $53,000 (9%) and $29,000 (20%). Microsoft Dynamics product sales rebounded during the second quarter of 2007 as a result of large CRM-based projects after a slow first quarter.

Period-to-period changes in Interactive Media included increases in revenue of $605,000 (79%) and gross profit of $344,000 (60%), comparing the first halves of 2006 and 2007. During the first half of 2007, Interactive Media consulting included significant project activity for technical architecture design and configuration of equipment for four significant shipboard systems, as compared to three comparable projects during the first half of 2006. Comparing the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, Systems Integration revenue and gross profit increased by $691,000 (32%) and $156,000, respectively. As discussed above, the decline in gross profit percentage resulted from the Company’s efforts over the last year to increase market share by obtaining additional cruise line customers.

The period-to-period decreases in Technology Infrastructure revenue and gross profit were $769,000 (38%) and $499,000 (42%), respectively, comparing the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007. Management believes customers are deferring spending on technology-based projects in anticipation of undertaking projects following the early adoption period of Windows and Office software updates introduced in late 2006 and early 2007. The negative percentage variances from prior year for revenue and gross profit were lower in the second quarter of 2007 than in the first quarter.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the comparable period of 2006, was $747,000. Period-to-period increases were realized consistent with those noted above for the quarterly periods.

The Company’s cash balance increased from $369,000 as of December 31, 2006 to $387,000 as of June 30, 2007, an increase of $18,000. Although the overall change in cash was modest, the result reflects the netting of significant cash flows provided by financing activities, primarily line of credit borrowings, and cash flows used for operating activities, primarily working capital changes. Operating activities resulted in net cash used of $1,667,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2007. Cash generated from operations was $1,550,000 while changes in working capital resulted in a net use of $3,217,000. Working capital changes using cash included significant increases in accounts receivable and costs and estimated gross margins in excess of billings of $2,884,000 and $431,000, respectively, and a decrease in billings in excess of costs and estimated gross margins of $803,000, which were partially offset by increases in deferred revenue and accrued compensation and payroll taxes of $694,000 and $278,000, respectively. Management attributes the increase in accounts receivable to (i) a significant advance billing to a customer for 2007 services and (ii) to turnover in the parties responsible for handling the Company’s accounts with two major cruise line customers during this period, which slowed payment processing. The advance billing is also the primary reason for the increase in deferred revenue. Investing activities resulted in net cash used of $207,000, primarily $179,000 for capital expenditures and $29,000 for contingent consideration related to acquisitions. Financing activities resulted in net cash provided of $1,892,000, primarily from net borrowing of $2,245,000 on the Company’s line of credit facility, partially offset by $355,000 of preferred stock dividend payments. The increase in borrowings on the line of credit during the first half of 2007 resulted primarily from the increase in accounts receivable. The large advance billing discussed above was collected in July 2007. Significant progress has also been made in July and August 2007 in collecting accounts receivable from the cruise lines discussed above. As of August 3, 2007, the outstanding balance under the line of credit was $295,000, a net repayment of $1,950,000 since June 30, 2007. There can be no assurance that the Company’s cash balance will increase during the remainder of 2007. The use of cash for operations, changes in working capital, capital expenditures, dividends on preferred stock, acquisition of businesses and other factors may further decrease the Company’s cash balance. The Company’s material obligations may require significant cash payments over the remainder of 2007 and beyond.

Potential customers for the Technology Infrastructure, Collaborative Solutions, Business Process and Interactive Media Practice Areas include emerging organizations, mid-sized enterprises and Fortune 1000 companies seeking to achieve a competitive advantage through technology. The Company believes that businesses with annual revenue of up to $1 billion afford the Company the best opportunities for offering solutions creating value for the customers and fostering the development of long-term business relationships. Management believes smaller to mid-market companies are more likely to utilize Microsoft-oriented information technology than larger organizations and typically have less sophisticated internal technical resources. The Company will not, however, limit its marketing and sales efforts solely to customers of this size. The Company conducts joint marketing efforts with Microsoft, which is an important source of leads for potential customers for Technology Infrastructure, Collaborative Solutions and Business Process operations. The Company’s Pittsburgh and Northern California-based operations target businesses across a wide spectrum of industries. The Company’s experience in these regions has, however, resulted in the development of expertise in a number of industry vertical markets, including retail, manufacturing, technology, professional services and health care.

The Company’s Boston office focuses its marketing efforts on application development for financial services firms that require flexible, high-value software solutions, including applications that address new legislative mandates or that improve existing business processes. Management believes CodeLab’s well-tested development methodology, robust technical framework and library of extensible software components enable CodeLab to deliver high quality solutions to financial services customers providing an immediate return on investment. CodeLab develops opportunities with potential and existing customers through direct sales and marketing efforts, client referrals, management networking and participation in professional organizations. CodeLab also builds awareness of its technical and financial services industry expertise through published articles and advertising in specialized financial services industry publications and websites.

The Company’s Ft. Lauderdale-based Interactive Media consulting services and Systems Integration operations have been historically concentrated among customers in the cruise industry.

provides a foundation for planning and controlling projects based on scope, schedule and resources. Guiding principles of the Allin Solutions Framework are to develop iteratively, manage requirements, use component architecture, continuously verify quality and manage change. The adaptable process includes four phases. The Solution Vision phase articulates the ultimate goals for the solution and defines the solution scope and the project boundaries. The Solution Design phase focuses on the delivery and acceptance of the design specifications, test and project plans and the schedule for solution development. The Solution Development phase results in the delivery of a functionally complete solution, ready for pilot usage. The Solution Deployment phase culminates in the production release of the installed application, training and documentation, and conversion of, or integration with, existing systems.

The Company’s practice areas primarily deliver consulting services that are either Allin-managed or co-managed with the customer. With the Allin-managed delivery method, practice area managers and consultants fully control the planning, development and implementation of turnkey solutions. Client personnel function as sources of information concerning the business need for which a solution is sought. With the co-managed delivery method, practice area managers, consultants and customer technical staff members collaborate in planning, developing and implementing solutions. The Company is fully or partially responsible for the development and implementation of technology-based solutions under the Allin-managed or co-managed delivery methods. Services delivered under these methods are viewed by management as being solutions-oriented due to the Company’s performance of high level managerial tasks.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Notes 2, 6, 7, 8, 12 and 14 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and in Notes 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 – Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions to apply certain of these critical accounting policies. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the reporting date and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the reporting periods. In applying policies requiring estimates and assumptions, management uses its judgment based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, industry practices and trends, information available from customers, publicly available information and other factors deemed reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from estimates. Critical accounting policies requiring the use of estimates and assumptions include the following:

Revenue Recognition. Certain projects undertaken by the Company involve design, configuration and implementation of specialized technology platforms under related consulting and systems integration arrangements involving some or all of the following attributes: services, computer hardware and equipment for specialized technology platforms, software, and post-contract support (“PCS”). Revenue Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (“SOP 97-2”), specifies that if an arrangement to deliver software or a software system, either alone or together with other products or services, requires significant production, modification, or customization of software, the entire arrangement should be accounted for in conformity with the contract accounting guidance of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 45, Long-Term Construction-Type Contracts (“ARB No. 45”), and Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (“SOP 81-1”). The arrangements underlying these projects frequently involve significant software modification, including the installation of customized software applications previously developed for the customer. Revenue associated with these operations involving multiple-deliverable arrangements that included significant software modification accounted for under the contract accounting standards described above was 27% and 28% of the Company’s total revenue for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, and 19% and 28% of the Company’s total revenue for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Revenue for fixed-price service-based arrangements associated with these projects is recognized on the percentage of completion method of contract accounting, based on the proportion of labor expended through the end of the period to expected total project labor. Management must estimate expected labor for project completion at the beginning of each project. On a monthly basis, management reviews projects of this type and considers any factors related to current or expected future progress on the projects and the Company’s past performance of similar projects. Any resulting changes to expected project labor are factored into the determination of cumulative percentage of completion used to determine current revenue recognition. Project arrangements may include PCS for a period following implementation of the specialized technology platform. A portion of the contract value is allocated to the PCS based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value based on rates when sold separately and, in accordance with SOP 97-2, revenue is recognized for PCS over the period when services are performed.

The Company’s recognition method for revenue for fixed-price Systems Integration projects is based on the size and expected duration of the project. For projects in excess of $250,000 of revenue and expected to be of greater than 90 days duration, revenue is recognized based on percentage of completion. The proportion of labor incurred under the related arrangements to expected total project labor is utilized as a quantitative factor in determining the percentage of completion recognized for projects when the proportion of total project costs incurred to expected total project costs is not representative of actual project completion status. The majority of the equipment for Systems Integration projects is typically ordered, and associated costs are incurred, in the early stages of a project. Consequently, the proportion of labor incurred on related projects to expected total project labor is more frequently representative of percentage of completion than the proportion of total project costs incurred to expected total project costs. The labor factor is therefore most often used to determine the percentage of completion. For Systems Integration projects of this type, management must estimate expected total labor hours and costs at the beginning of the project. Management reviews the status of such projects monthly, including labor hours incurred to date and expected for completion of the project, project timing, and issues impacting project performance. Management also considers the Company’s prior performance related to similar projects in determining expectations for current projects. Any changes to expected labor hours for project completion are factored into the monthly estimate of project cumulative percentage of completion, which is used to determine current revenue recognition. Systems Integration arrangements do not include rights for software, hardware or equipment upgrades.

The Company’s practice areas perform certain consulting engagements on a fixed-price basis. The Company follows the contract accounting guidance of ARB No. 45 and SOP 81-1 and recognizes revenue on a proportional performance basis, utilizing the proportion of labor expended through the end of the period to expected total project labor. Management must estimate expected labor for project completion at the beginning of each project. Fixed-price consulting projects are reviewed monthly, with any changes to expected project labor factored into the determination of proportional performance, which is used to determine current revenue recognition. Revenue associated with these projects was 3% and 2% of the Company’s total revenue for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, and 3% and 1% of the Company’s total revenue for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007.

Utilization of the revenue recognition methods described above can result in acceleration of, or delay in, recognition of revenue if management’s estimates of certain critical factors, such as expected total project labor, are materially less than or greater than actual project requirements. The Company believes its monthly reviews of project status and consideration of past performance on similar projects mitigate the potential for inappropriate revenue recognition since the reviews result in each update of revenue recognition being based on both the latest available information and the Company’s project experience. Management’s estimates and assumptions also impact the Company’s assets and liabilities as revenue recognition for these projects may also impact the carrying value, if any, of unbilled services, costs and estimated gross margins in excess of billings, billings in excess of costs and estimated gross margins and deferred revenue on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company’s intangible assets include goodwill associated with: the acquisitions of Allin Consulting-California (1996), Allin Consulting-Pennsylvania (1998), Jimary Business Systems (2004) and CodeLab (2005); customer lists associated with the acquisitions of Allin Consulting-Pennsylvania, Jimary Business Systems, Computer Resources (2004), and CodeLab; and non-competition agreements associated with the Jimary Business Systems and CodeLab acquisitions. As of June 30, 2007, recognized balances for the customer lists, non-competition agreements and goodwill were $1,122,000, $70,000 and $5,074,000, respectively, net of amortization.

The Company follows the requirements of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”), and No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS No. 144”), regarding amortization and testing for the potential impairment of intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other separable intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but separable intangible assets that are deemed to have definite lives, such as the customer lists and non-competition agreements, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. SFAS No. 142 also sets forth guidance as to required annual testing for the potential impairment of goodwill. SFAS No. 144 sets forth standards for testing for the potential impairment of long-lived assets, including amortized intangible assets. The Company performs annual testing as of December 31. Key risk factors are monitored on an ongoing basis, and interim testing for potential impairment of goodwill or intangible assets is performed if indicators of potential impairment arise.

Testing for potential impairment of goodwill involves an attribution of the recognized assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses to reporting units. The recognized assets and liabilities include cash, accounts and notes receivable, unbilled services, prepaid expenses, deferred tax assets, property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue. The reporting units utilized are the Company’s reported segments as applicable to the acquired operations, Technology Infrastructure, Collaborative Solutions, Business Process, Information System Product Sales and Other Services, further broken down geographically between Northern California, Pittsburgh and Boston-based operations. Recognized assets are attributed to reporting units in a manner consistent with that used for segment reporting. Management utilizes industry information for public technology consulting businesses to develop assumptions for appropriate revenue or earnings multiples for estimating the fair values of the reporting units. Estimated fair values are compared to the attributed recognized assets for each reporting unit, and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that attributed assets exceed the estimated fair value of any reporting unit. Key risk factors that the Company monitors regarding goodwill are the industry valuation multiples and the financial results of the reporting units. Significant declines in these factors could indicate potential impairment of goodwill. The estimated fair values of all reporting units exceeded the recognized assets attributed to the reporting units in the annual tests performed as of December 31, 2006, indicating no impairment of goodwill.

To test for potential impairment of the customer lists, the Company utilizes a cash flow model to estimate fair value. The critical judgments and estimates are the determination of which reporting units will be utilized in testing each customer list, the proportions of the reporting unit cash flows to attribute to the acquired customer lists in each period, and the assumed growth rates for the overall business operations. Management uses its judgment to match reporting units with customer lists based on the areas of specialization of the predecessor businesses, as well as the Company’s long-term marketing objectives regarding the customers on the acquired list. Management utilizes historical information related to business derived from the customers included on each acquired list, future projections for the operations of the applicable reporting units, and external information concerning expected growth in the information technology services industry to develop estimates of future cash flows for the reporting units and the portions of the estimated cash flows to be attributed to each customer list. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows attributable to a customer list exceeds the recognized value of the customer list, no impairment is indicated. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the recognized value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the recognized value and the sum of the discounted cash flows attributable to the customer list. Key risk factors that the Company monitors regarding the customer lists are forecast growth rates for the information technology services industry, revenue derived from customers on the acquired lists and the cash flows applicable to the segments attributed to the customer lists. Significant declines in these factors could indicate potential impairment of the customer lists. As of December 31, 2006, no impairment was indicated in the annual tests of the customer lists.

The Company also utilizes cash flow models to estimate the fair value of the non-competition agreements. The models project the cash flows of the acquired business with the non-competition provisions in place and assuming they were absent. The difference in these projections represents the fair value of the non-competition provisions. Management utilizes industry information concerning expected growth in the information technology services industry and future projections for the operations of the applicable reporting units to develop estimates of future cash flows over the remaining lives of the non-competition agreements. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows attributable to a non-competition agreement exceeds the recognized value of the agreement, no impairment is indicated. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the recognized value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the recognized value and the sum of the discounted cash flows. Key risk factors the Company monitors to evaluate the recorded value of the non-competition agreements are forecast growth rates for the information technology services industry and changes to the projected cash flows of the reporting units either with or without the non-competition provisions in place. Significant changes in these factors could indicate potential impairment of the non-competition agreements. There was no impairment indicated in the testing of the non-competition agreements performed as of December 31, 2006.

Income Taxes. The Company records current and deferred provisions for, or benefits from, income taxes and deferred tax assets and liabilities in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 – Accounting for Income Taxes. Valuation allowances will reduce deferred tax assets if there is material uncertainty as to the ultimate realization of the deferred tax benefits. Valuation allowances have been recorded as of June 30, 2007 based on the Company’s realizability estimates and reduce the Company’s recognized deferred tax assets to $1,128,000. The non-current portion of deferred tax assets was offset by $53,000 of non-current deferred tax liabilities, resulting in a total of $1,075,000 of current and non-current deferred tax assets being included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2007.

Results of operations for future periods are subject to a number of material risks, including risks arising from customer and industry concentrations related to the operations of the Interactive Media and Systems Integration segments. In recent periods, revenue from these segments has primarily resulted from a small number of large projects each year for a small number of customers concentrated in one industry. However, as of December 31, 2006, based on the Company’s results of operations during 2006, the backlog of committed business for future periods and management’s assessment of opportunities that may arise from the Company’s then current customers, the Company believed the risks were mitigated such that a material reduction in valuation allowance was appropriate. The reduction in valuation allowance recognized during 2006 was $1,310,000. A further reduction in the valuation allowance of $392,000 was recognized during the first half of 2007. The Company believes that material uncertainty continues to exist as to the long-term realization of benefits greater than the recognized balance of deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2007 and valuation allowances offset any additional net deferred tax assets.

Management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets of $1,128,000 will be realized in future periods. During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, and the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company realized benefits from the use of previously recorded deferred tax assets for net operating loss carryforwards to reduce taxable income. Management assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets quarterly and adjusts the valuation allowance based on its assessment.

The Company recognized deferred income tax liabilities of $53,000 as of June 30, 2007, arising primarily from intangible asset differences, the difference between tax- and book-basis amortization of capitalized software development costs and the tax-basis amortization of goodwill associated with the acquisition of Jimary Business Systems. Management monitors deferred tax liabilities quarterly and adjusts the recorded balance based on its assessment. See Note 6 – Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 – Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information concerning the Company’s accounting for income taxes.

Accrued Acquisition Consideration. The Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2007 includes an estimated liability for accrued acquisition consideration of $1,730,000, including $1,536,000, $192,000 and $2,000, respectively, related to the acquisitions of CodeLab in 2005 and Jimary Business Systems and Computer Resources in 2004.

The Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company and the former holders of equity interests in CodeLab provides for annual payments of contingent consideration to be paid for each of the three annual periods ending July 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008. Any contingent payments due for the three annual periods will be calculated pursuant to a negotiated formula, as specifically set forth in the Purchase Agreement, that is based upon an agreed to multiple of the net operating profit of CodeLab’s business, determined on an accrual basis before deductions for income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization, in the relevant annual period, and subject to further adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including potential setoffs by the Company for certain indemnification claims. The aggregate amount of contingent payments shall not exceed $5,600,000. During October 2006, the Company made a cash payment of $1,085,000 and issued 361,642 shares of common stock as additional purchase consideration in respect of the first annual period. The stock issuance was recorded based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the issuance date of $0.55 per share, resulting in the recording of $4,000 to common stock and $195,000 to additional paid-in-capital.

After monitoring CodeLab’s operations through the end of 2006, management reviewed the terms of the Purchase Agreement, certain agreements with customers, budgetary and other financial projections to assess the likelihood of contingent consideration becoming due for the second annual period and to prepare an estimate of the expected amount. Management determined that it was highly likely that contingent consideration would again become due to the former holders of equity interests in CodeLab at the end of the second annual period and, as of December 31, 2006, estimated the contingent consideration expected to become due as $1,623,000. Expense of $48,000 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2006 for compensatory elements related to the estimated contingent consideration for the second annual period. The remainder of the estimated contingent consideration for the second annual period, $1,522,000, was regarded as additional purchase price and was recorded as goodwill as of December 31, 2006. Management continued to monitor the factors described above during the first half of 2007 and reduced its estimate of the liability by $80,000 as of June 30, 2007. The adjustment was recorded as a reduction of goodwill. Expense of $46,000 was recorded during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 related to the compensatory elements of the estimated contingent consideration. The Company expects another $7,000 will be recorded as expense during the final month of the second annual period ending July 31, 2007.

The Asset Purchase Agreement related to the purchase of Jimary Business Systems provided for contingent consideration for the purchased assets in the form of annual earn-out payments in cash for each of three annual periods ending November 30, 2005, 2006 and 2007 based on agreed upon percentages of “Earn-Out Margin” for each annual period generated from consulting and product sale revenue, determined and adjusted in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement. The aggregate amount of all such annual earn-out payments shall not exceed $252,000. Contingent consideration of $29,000 for the second annual period ended November 30, 2006 was included in accrued acquisition consideration on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2006, and was subsequently paid in January 2007. The contingent consideration for the second annual period was recorded as goodwill.

After monitoring operations through the first quarter of 2007, management reviewed the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, applicable consulting and product sale revenue, and other financial information to assess the likelihood of contingent consideration becoming due for the third annual period and to prepare an estimate of the expected amount. Management determined that it was highly likely that contingent consideration would become due at the end of the third annual period at a significantly higher level than for either of the first two annual periods. The Company recorded an estimated liability of $214,000 for contingent consideration as of March 31, 2007. Management monitored the factors described above during the second quarter of 2007 and recorded a reduction of $22,000 to the liability for accrued acquisition consideration as of June 30, 2007. The adjustment was recorded as a reduction of goodwill. Management will continue to monitor the factors described above over the remainder of the third annual period ending November 30, 2007 and will adjust its estimate of the liability as necessary.

Software Development Costs. The Company’s 2006 and 2007 research and development efforts and expenditures related primarily to application development and platform refinements for Interactive Media’s DigiMix™ interactive television solutions. Software development costs include purchased software development tools, testing equipment, consulting services and the cost of internal labor. A total of $758,000 was capitalized for software development costs between management’s determination of technical feasibility in December 2005 and commercial introduction of the software applications in May 2007. The Company also incurred research and development expenses of $90,000 in 2005 prior to the attainment of a working model demonstrating technical feasibility, and $95,000 in 2007 following commercial introduction. Management’s key judgment was determination of the point of technical feasibility. Management reviewed status reports and other records and discussed project progress with the technical management personnel overseeing the development project to determine that technical feasibility had been obtained. The Company anticipates any further costs incurred for completion of the development process related to application development for Digimix™ interactive television solutions will be expensed.

Certain Related Party Transactions

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, the Company engaged in transactions with related parties, including the sale of services and products and rental payments for office space. Services and products sold represented 1% or less of the Company’s revenue in each of these periods. The charges for services and products sold to related parties were comparable to charges for similar services and products sold to non-related entities.

The Company’s office space in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is rented from an entity in which a beneficial holder of greater than five percent of the Company’s common stock, as well as certain of his family members, have equity interests. During August 2006, the Company entered into a new five-year lease for the space. The Company had previously rented the space under a month-to-month arrangement since 2002. Minimum remaining lease commitments for the Pittsburgh office space are $104,000 for the final six months of 2007, $208,000 per year from 2008 through 2010, and $121,000 for 2011. The rental rate is subject to annual adjustments based on a consumer price index-based formula as specified in the lease. Rental expense under these arrangements was $34,000 and $52,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, and $68,000 and $104,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007. This represented 1% of selling, general and administrative expenses during the three- and six-month periods of 2006 and 2% of selling, general and administrative expenses during the three- and six-month periods of 2007.

The Company realized a decrease of $281,000 in Technology Infrastructure revenue when comparing the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007. Management believes Technology Infrastructure experienced a lull in market demand over the latter half of 2006 that continued through the first half of 2007. Management believes customers deferred spending on technology-based projects in anticipation of undertaking projects following the introduction and early adoption period for Microsoft technology updates, including Windows Vista and Office software. The respective updates were introduced in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007. However, the Company believes customers are continuing to wait to evaluate the benefits realized by early adopters of the new technology. Management believes demand related to the Microsoft technology upgrades will grow over the remainder of 2007 as more information regarding the results of early adoption is disseminated. However, management anticipates that widespread business migration to these products is most likely to occur during the latter part of 2007 and 2008. There can be no assurance that the Microsoft technology updates will result in the future realization of Technology Infrastructure revenue equal to or greater than current levels.

A period-to-period increase of $691,000 in revenue for the Collaborative Solutions Practice Area was realized for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, as compared to quarter ended June 30, 2006. Management believes the period-to-period increase in revenue is attributable to strong demand for solutions based on custom .NET-based application development and Microsoft SharePoint and business intelligence technologies. Management expects the future level of demand for Collaborative Solutions services will be impacted by a number of factors and trends, including demand for effective portals and interfaces with transactional systems for Internet-based commerce, increasing demand for customized applications meeting specific business needs, the proliferation of web-based software applications, increasing compliance demands and the implementation of voice-over Internet protocol technology. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will realize revenue growth in future periods for its Collaborative Solutions services as a result of these or any other factors.

Management attributes the period-to-period increase in Business Process revenue of $205,000, comparing the three months ended June 30, 2007 with the three months ended June 30, 2006, to strong demand for solutions based on Microsoft Dynamics CRM technology. Several large CRM-based projects were undertaken during the second quarter of 2007. A significant portion of Business Process revenue is realized under service contracts involving a fixed fee for services over a specified time period, typically an annual period. Revenue from service contracts is recognized on a pro-rata basis over the terms of the contracts. As the Company’s Business Process practice has grown over the last three years, the Company has entered into service contracts with most customers, and the resulting growth in service contracts also contributed to the period-to-period increase in Business Process revenue.

The period-to-period increase in Interactive Media revenue when comparing the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2007 was $167,000. In both periods, the majority of Interactive Media revenue related to technical architecture

design, configuration and implementation services, and post-installation technical support for interactive television systems installed on cruise ships. The second quarter of 2007 included the peak period of project activity for two shipboard systems and significant project activity related to a third shipboard system. During the second quarter of 2006, there were also three projects with comparable levels of activity. Management anticipates Interactive Media revenue expected to be realized over the remainder of 2007 will also represent increased levels from the comparable period of 2006. The Interactive Media Practice Area expects to perform design, development, configuration, implementation and support services associated with four additional interactive television systems expected to be installed for NCL, Azamara Cruises (“Azamara”), and Celebrity in the final half of 2007, which would result in eight ship system installations for the full year. Similar services related to only three shipboard system implementations were performed in all of 2006. Projects may experience unforeseen delays due to shipyard activity or customer preference. For instance, installations for three Regent ships originally expected to be performed during 2007 are now anticipated to occur during 2008. There can be no assurance that delays will not occur with the projects currently expected to be performed during the second half of 2007.

A period-to-period increase of $194,000 in revenue for the Systems Integration segment was realized for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the comparable period of the prior year. During the second quarter of 2007, Systems Integration revenue was realized from large projects involving the implementation of interactive television platforms aboard three ships, the MSC Orchestra, Costa Serena and Royal Caribbean Liberty of the Seas, as well as the upgrade of specialized technology platforms for a financial services customer. There were also three large ship projects with a significant level of Systems Integration activity and implementation of specialized technology platforms for a financial services customer during the second quarter of 2006. Systems Integration operations are expected to remain highly concentrated among a small number of projects and customers in future periods. Systems Integration revenue is expected to increase over the remainder of 2007 as a result of the expected installation of interactive televisions on four additional cruise ships in projects related to those discussed above for Interactive Media, and additional Systems Integration projects involving specialized financial services technology platforms. There can be no assurance, however, that projects will proceed without delays.

Revenue for the Information System Product Sales segment increased by $159,000, when comparing the second quarter of 2006 with the second quarter of 2007. Management attributes the increase to sales of Microsoft CRM technology in association with several large Business Process projects during the second quarter of 2007 and to period-to-period variability in the level of sales of Microsoft Dynamics software and interactive television equipment. Revenue for the Other Services segment increased $26,000, when comparing three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007. A significant portion of Other Services revenue in each period resulted from a small number of engagements where the Company provided outsourced technical resources to customers to augment their information technology staffs for customer-managed projects.

The period-to-period decrease in cost of sales for the Technology Infrastructure Practice Area of $91,000, comparing the three months ended June 30, 2007 to the three months ended June 30, 2006, corresponds with the decrease in revenue but is slightly lower in percentage terms. Management attributes the change primarily to the negative effect of a low level of demand for Technology Infrastructure services on fees. The pressure on pricing resulted in an increase in the proportion of the average hourly cost of consultant labor for Technology Infrastructure to average hourly fees. A secondary factor is upward pressure on compensation for technology professionals.

The period-to-period increase in cost of sales for the Collaborative Solutions Practice Area of $401,000 corresponds with the change in revenue but is higher in percentage terms, indicating an increase in the proportion of the average hourly cost for Collaborative Solutions consulting labor to average hourly fees. Management believes high demand for application development skills in the technology labor market is putting upward pressure on compensation resulting in labor costs increasing at a higher percentage than revenue.

The period-to-period increase in cost of sales for the Business Process Practice Area of $42,000 is primarily attributable to the increase in the level of services in the second quarter of 2007, as compared to the second quarter of 2006. The increase in cost of sales for Business Process is less than the change in revenue in percentage terms, indicating a period-to-period decrease in the proportion of labor costs to revenue. Management believes that the Business Process staff has been able to support growth in service contract revenue that exceeds the corresponding growth in staff costs.

An increase of $144,000 was realized for Interactive Media cost of sales, comparing the three months ended June 30, 2007 with the three months ended June 30, 2006. While a period-to-period increase was also realized in revenue, the increase in cost of sales was much greater in percentage terms. Management attributes this to increased usage of higher-cost developers and consultants during the second quarter of 2007 and additional labor associated with projects following the commercial introduction of new software applications for the Company’s Digimix™ interactive television solutions.

The increase in Systems Integration cost of sales of $246,000, comparing the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, corresponds with the period-to-period change in Systems Integration revenue but is higher in percentage terms. A contributing factor to the increase was the introduction of new high-end technology with the Digimix™ platform to provide the full benefits of the updated software applications, which increased the proportion of cost of sales relative to revenue.

The increase in cost of sales of $103,000 for the Information System Product Sales segment, comparing the second quarters of 2006 and 2007, was proportional to the change in revenue. The period-to-period increase in Other Services cost of sales of $57,000 exceeded the corresponding increase in revenue in percentage terms. There was a period-to-period increase in out-of-pocket costs associated with the performance of projects during 2007. Since these are billed without markup, they increase Other Services cost of sales at a higher percentage rate than Other Services revenue.

As discussed above, management believes this result reflects the low level of demand for Technology Infrastructure services in the second quarter of 2007, which resulted in significant downward pressure on pricing, and upward pressure on compensation costs for technology professionals.

Table of Contents

The Collaborative Solutions Practice Area experienced an improvement in gross profit of $290,000, comparing the second quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2006. The increase largely corresponds with significant period-to-period revenue growth, but is lower in percentage terms. Management believes the increase in gross profit resulted primarily from strong demand for custom application development services but that the labor market is placing upward pressure on compensation costs, which has resulted in a decline in period-to-period gross profit percentage.

The growth in gross profit for the Business Process Practice Area of $163,000, comparing the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, corresponds with significant period-to-period revenue growth, but was higher in percentage terms than the corresponding increase in revenue. As discussed above, management believes the growth in service contract revenue outpaced the increase in corresponding labor costs. Management also believes several large Microsoft CRM-based projects undertaken during the second quarter of 2007 have contributed to the growth in Business Process gross profit.

Interactive Media gross profit increased by $23,000 when comparing the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, consistent with the period-to-period increase in revenue, but lower in percentage terms. As discussed above, management attributes the increase primarily to the inclusion of significant project activity related to three shipboard interactive television systems in the second quarter of 2007. The decline in percentage terms resulted from increased usage of higher-cost developers and consultants during the second quarter of 2007.

The period-to-period decrease in Systems Integration gross profit of $52,000, when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2007 to the comparable period of the prior year, occurred despite a period-to-period increase in revenue. A contributing factor was the introduction of new high-end technology with the Digimix™ platform to provide the full benefits of the updated software applications.

The decrease in gross profit for Information System Product Sales of $56,000, comparing the second quarters of 2006 and 2007, was consistent with the change in revenue. Other Services gross profit decreased by $31,000, when comparing the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, as a result of a higher proportion of segment activity consisting of out-of-pocket costs associated with the performance of projects.

Selling, General & Administrative Expenses

The Company recorded $2,921,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2007, including $162,000 for depreciation and amortization and $2,759,000 for other selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,279,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2006, including $103,000 for depreciation and amortization, a $3,000 loss from disposal of assets and $2,173,000 for other selling, general and administrative expenses. The period-to-period increase in aggregate selling, general and administrative expense was $642,000, or 28%.

The period-to-period increase in other selling, general and administrative expenses was $586,000, or 27%. Period-to-period increases were realized in compensation due to increased technical consulting, sales and marketing and administrative staffs, associated recruitment costs and the inclusion of research and development expense during the second quarter of 2007.

The increase in depreciation and amortization, comparing the second quarters of 2006 and 2007, was primarily attributable to the commencement of amortization of capitalized software development costs following the commercial introduction of the developed applications during the second quarter of 2007. Depreciation also experienced a period-to-period increase as a result of capital expenditures exceeding the cost of assets reaching the end of their depreciation periods over the second half of 2006 and the first half of 2007.

Net Income

The Company recorded net income of $402,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to net income of $823,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The $421,000 period-to-period decrease in profitability

The Company realized a decrease of $769,000 in Technology Infrastructure revenue when comparing the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007. As discussed above, management believes customers deferred spending on technology-based projects during the first half of 2007 in anticipation of undertaking projects following the introduction and early adoption period for Microsoft technology updates, including Windows Vista and Office software, in order to evaluate the benefits realized by early adopters of the new technology. Management anticipates that widespread business migration to these products is most likely to occur during the latter part of 2007 and 2008.

A period-to-period increase of $1,305,000 in revenue for the Collaborative Solutions Practice Area was realized for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. Management believes the period-to-period increase in revenue is attributable to strong demand during the first half of 2007 for solutions based on custom .NET-based application development, and Microsoft SharePoint, SQL Server 2005, Performance Point 2007 and business intelligence technologies.

Management attributes the period-to-period increase in Business Process revenue of $501,000, comparing the six months ended June 30, 2007 with the six months ended June 30, 2006, to the Business Process Practice Area undertaking more complex Dynamics SL projects and strong demand for solutions based on Microsoft Dynamics CRM technology. As the Company’s Business Process practice has grown over the last three years, The Company has entered into service contracts with most customers, and this growth in service contracts also contributed to the period-to-period increase in Business Process revenue.

The period-to-period increase in Interactive Media revenue, when comparing the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, was $605,000. In both periods, the majority of Interactive Media revenue related to technical architecture design, configuration and implementation services, and post-installation technical support for interactive television systems installed on cruise ships. However, the first half of 2007 included the peak period of project activity for four shipboard systems, as well as a number of smaller projects. During the first half of 2006, there were only three ship-based projects with comparable levels of activity.

A period-to-period increase of $691,000 in revenue for the Systems Integration segment was realized for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the comparable period of the prior year. During the first half of 2007,

The increase in gross profit for Information System Product Sales of $29,000, comparing the first halves of 2006 and 2007, was consistent with the change in revenue. Other Services gross profit decreased by $138,000, when comparing the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, as a result of a higher proportion of segment activity consisting of out-of-pocket costs associated with the performance of projects during 2007 and the inclusion of a significant placement fee with no associated cost of sales in the first half of 2006.

Selling, General & Administrative Expenses

The Company recorded $5,540,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2007, including $264,000 for depreciation and amortization and $5,277,000 for other selling, general and administrative expenses, net of a $1,000 gain from disposal of assets. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,793,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006, including $203,000 for depreciation and amortization, a $3,000 loss from disposal of assets and $4,587,000 for other selling, general and administrative expenses.

The period-to-period increase in other selling, general and administrative expenses was $690,000, or 15%. Period-to-period increases were realized in compensation due to increased technical consulting, sales and marketing and administrative staffs, associated recruitment costs, occupancy costs and the inclusion of research and development expense during the first half of 2007.

The increase in depreciation and amortization, comparing the first halves of 2006 and 2007, was primarily attributable to the commencement of amortization of capitalized software development costs following the commercial introduction of the developed applications during May 2007. Depreciation also experienced a period-to-period increase as a result of capital expenditures exceeding the cost of assets reaching the end of their depreciation periods over the second half of 2006 and the first half of 2007.

The Company recorded net income of $1,194,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to net income of $1,188,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The $6,000 period-to-period increase in profitability resulted from the offsetting effects of the $828,000 improvement in gross profit from operations and the $747,000 increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as period-to-period increases in interest expense and income taxes. The factors resulting in the changes in gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses are discussed above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2007, the Company had cash and liquid cash equivalents of $387,000 available to meet its working capital and operational needs. The net change in cash from December 31, 2006 was an increase of $18,000. Net cash flows used by operating activities were $1,667,000. The Company recognized net income of $1,194,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The Company recorded non-cash expenses of $356,000 for depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of capitalized software development and intangible assets, provisions for deferred income taxes and uncollectible accounts receivable, and expense recognition for the fair value of outstanding stock options, net of a gain on disposal of assets resulting in net cash provided of $1,550,000 related to the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Changes in working capital resulted in net cash used of $3,217,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Major working capital adjustments resulting in cash used included increases in accounts receivable, unbilled services, costs and estimated gross margins in excess of billings and software development costs of $2,884,000, $200,000, $431,000 and $232,000, respectively and a decrease in billings in excess of costs and estimated gross margins of $803,000. Major working capital adjustments resulting in cash provided included a decrease in prepaid expenses of $145,000 and increases in deferred revenue, accrued compensation and payroll taxes and other accrued liabilities of $694,000, $278,000 and $225,000, respectively. A contributing factor to the increases in both accounts receivable and

deferred revenue was the advanced billing of a significant amount under a customer’s arrangements for 2007 services. The significant advanced billing was collected in July 2007. Another contributing factor to the increase in accounts receivable was turnover in the parties at two cruise line customers responsible for handling the Company’s accounts, which slowed payment processing and significantly increased accounts receivable with these customers. Significant progress on collection of accounts receivable balances from these customers has been made during July and August 2007.

Investing activities resulted in a net cash use of $207,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, including $29,000 of contingent consideration related to the 2004 acquisitions of Jimary Business Systems and Computer Resources. Investing activities also included $179,000 of cash used for capital expenditures for computer hardware for new employees and the periodic upgrading of technology, software, furniture and equipment. Financing activities resulted in cash provided of $1,892,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The Company recorded a net borrowing of $2,245,000 on its line of credit facility during the first half of 2007 as a result of the working capital adjustments discussed above. Collection of the significant advance billing and other accounts receivable subsequent to June 30, 2007 has resulted in a net repayment of $1,950,000 on the line of credit balance as of August 3, 2007. Financing activities also included the payment of preferred stock dividends of $355,000.

On October 1, 1998, the Company and S&T Bank, a Pennsylvania banking association, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “S&T Loan Agreement”), under which S&T Bank agreed to extend the Company a revolving line of credit. The S&T Loan Agreement has subsequently been renewed in each of the eight succeeding years. The current expiration date of the S&T Loan Agreement is September 30, 2007. Borrowings may be made under the S&T Loan Agreement for general working capital purposes. The maximum borrowing availability under the S&T Loan Agreement is the lesser of $5,000,000 or 80% of the aggregate gross amount of eligible trade accounts receivable aged ninety days or less from the date of invoice. Accounts receivable qualifying for inclusion in the borrowing base are net of any prepayments, progress payments, deposits or retention and must not be subject to any prior assignment, claim, lien, or security interest. For two of the Company’s customers, including the customer to which the above-mentioned significant advance billing for 2007 services was made, trade accounts receivable aged one hundred twenty days or less from the date of invoice are eligible for inclusion in the borrowing availability. During July 2007, the S&T Loan Agreement was amended such that the large advance invoice described above was eligible for inclusion in the maximum borrowing availability through July 31, 2007 despite being aged greater than one hundred twenty days.

As of June 30, 2007, maximum borrowing availability under the S&T Loan Agreement was $2,499,000. The July amendment temporarily increased the maximum borrowing availability by $1,408,000. The outstanding loan balance was $2,245,000 as of June 30, 2007. As of August, 2007, the outstanding loan balance was $295,000.

Loans made under the S&T Loan Agreement bear interest at the bank’s prime interest rate plus one percent. During the first half of 2007, the interest rate under the S&T Loan Agreement was 9.25%, which remained in effect as of June 30, 2007. There have been no changes in the interest rate subsequent to that date. Interest payments on any outstanding loan balances are due monthly on the first day of the month. The Company recorded interest expense of $34,000 and $45,000 related to this revolving credit loan during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively. The principal balance of any borrowings will be due at maturity, although any outstanding principal balances may be repaid in whole or part at any time without penalty.

The S&T Loan Agreement includes provisions granting S&T Bank a security interest in certain assets of the Company, including its accounts receivable, equipment, lease rights for real property, and inventory. The Company and its subsidiaries, except for Allin Consulting-California and Allin Holdings, are required to maintain depository accounts with S&T Bank, in which accounts the bank has a collateral interest.

The S&T Loan Agreement, as amended, includes various covenants relating to matters affecting the Company, including insurance coverage, financial accounting practices, audit rights, prohibited transactions, dividends and stock purchases, which are disclosed in their entirety in the text of the S&T Loan Agreement filed as Exhibit 4 to the Company’s Report on Form 8-K filed on October 9, 1998, the Second Amendment to Note and Loan and Security Agreement filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 1999, the Fourth and Fifth Amendments to the Loan and Security Agreement filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to the Company’s Report on Form 8-K filed on September 30, 2005 and the Sixth Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement and Change in Terms Agreement filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to the Company’s Report on Form 8-K filed on September 19, 2006. The covenant concerning dividends and purchases of stock prohibits the Company from paying cash dividends or redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring outstanding shares of any class of the Company’s stock, except for dividends payable in the ordinary course of business on the Company’s Series D, F, G and H preferred stock. Declaration, but not payment, of dividends related to the Company’s Series C Redeemable Preferred Stock is permitted.

The covenants also include a cash flow to interest ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0. Cash flow is defined as operating income before depreciation, amortization and interest. The cash flow coverage ratio is measured for each of the Company’s fiscal quarters. The Company was in compliance with the cash flow covenant for the first two fiscal quarters of 2007. The Company was also in compliance with all other covenants as of this date and currently remains in compliance with all other covenants. The S&T Loan Agreement also includes reporting requirements regarding annual and monthly financial reports, accounts receivable and payable statements, weekly borrowing base certificates and audit reports.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding 25,000 shares of Series C Redeemable Preferred Stock having a liquidation preference of $100 per share. There is no mandatory redemption date for the Series C preferred stock; however, the Company may redeem shares of Series C preferred stock at any time. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the Series C preferred stock. As of July 1, 2006, Series C preferred stock earns dividends at the rate of 12% of the liquidation value thereof per annum, compounded quarterly, an increase of 4% from the rate previously in effect. Dividends on the Series C preferred stock accrued as of June 30, 2006 compound thereafter at an annual rate of 12% of the liquidation value. Accrued and unpaid dividends on Series C preferred stock are a legally enforceable obligation of the Company, whether the dividends have been declared or not. Accordingly, dividends are accrued on an ongoing basis. The Company’s Board of Directors has declared dividends on the Series C preferred stock accrued since issuance of the preferred stock in 1996 through September 30, 2007. Accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series C preferred stock were $3,654,000 as of June 30, 2007 and $3,730,000 as of August 13, 2007.

Payment of dividends accrued on Series C preferred stock was originally scheduled to occur within ten days of June 30, 2006. Thereafter, dividends on the Series C preferred stock were scheduled for quarterly payment. However, the Company’s management determined that meeting the scheduled payments was inadvisable due to liquidity considerations and the restrictive covenant in the S&T Bank Loan Agreement prohibiting payment of dividends related to Series C preferred stock. Accordingly, the Company has indefinitely deferred payment of dividends on Series C preferred stock. If at a future time the Company determines that payment would be advisable, it will seek elimination of the prohibition of payment under the S&T Loan Agreement if it is still in effect. Any future payment of dividends on Series C preferred stock will also be subject to legally available funds for the payment of dividends as prescribed by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding 2,750 shares of Series D Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. There is no mandatory redemption date for the Series D preferred stock; however, the Company may redeem shares of Series D preferred stock at any time. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the Series D preferred stock. Series D preferred stock earns dividends at the rate of 6% of the liquidation value thereof per annum, compounded quarterly if unpaid. Dividends on Series D preferred stock are payable quarterly in arrears as of the last day of January, April, July and October, subject to legally available funds. Accrued but unpaid dividends on Series D preferred stock were $28,000 as of June 30, 2007 and $6,000 as of August 13, 2007.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding 1,000 shares of Series F Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. There is no mandatory redemption date for the Series F preferred stock; however, the Company may redeem shares of Series F preferred stock at any time. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the Series F preferred stock. Series F preferred stock earns dividends at the rate of 7% of the liquidation value thereof per annum. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th of January, April, July and October, subject to legally available funds. Dividends accrued for seven months during 1999 of $41,000 are not required to be paid prior to redemption, if any. Dividends not paid at scheduled dates will compound quarterly thereafter. Accrued but unpaid dividends on Series F preferred stock were $59,000 as of June 30, 2007 and $49,000 as of August 13, 2007.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding 150 shares of Series G Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock having a liquidation preference of $10,000 per share. There is no mandatory redemption date for the Series G preferred stock; however, the Company may redeem shares of Series G preferred stock at any time. The redemption price for each share of Series G preferred stock will be the liquidation value of such share, plus an amount that would result in an aggregate 25% compounded annual return on such liquidation value to the date of redemption after giving effect to all dividends paid on such share through the date of redemption. As of June 30, 2007, the Company estimated the amount of

the liquidation premium to be $3,548,000. The Company has not recorded a liability for the liquidation premium as the likelihood of redemption of the Series G preferred stock and payment of the premium are considered remote. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the Series G preferred stock. Prior to redemption by the Company, if any, each share of Series G preferred stock is convertible into 28,571 shares of the Company’s common stock. Any holder of Series G preferred stock wishing to exercise the conversion right must give written notice thereof to the Company, after which the Company shall set a date for conversion of the Series G preferred stock which shall be no later than thirty days from the date of notice. Series G preferred stock earns cumulative quarterly dividends at the rate of 12% of the liquidation value until the earlier of the date of any redemption or the date of conversion into common stock. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter, subject to legally available funds. Dividends not paid at scheduled dates will compound quarterly thereafter. Accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series G preferred stock were $45,000 as of June 30, 2007 and $22,000 as of August 13, 2007. Holders of the Series G preferred stock who exercise the conversion right will have the right to receive any accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of conversion.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding 250 shares of Series H Redeemable Preferred Stock having a liquidation preference of $10,000 per share. There is no mandatory redemption date for the Series H preferred stock. However, the Company may redeem shares of the Series H preferred stock at any time. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the Series H preferred stock. Series H preferred stock earns dividends at the rate of 12% of the liquidation value thereof per annum. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on each January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 subject to legally available funds. Dividends not paid at scheduled dates will compound on a quarterly basis thereafter. Accrued but unpaid dividends on Series H preferred stock were $50,000 as of June 30, 2007 and $11,000 as of August 13, 2007.

The order of liquidation preference of the Company’s outstanding preferred stock, from senior to junior, is Series H, Series F, Series G, Series D and Series C. The S&T Loan Agreement prohibits the Company from paying dividends on any shares of its capital stock, except for current dividends payable in the ordinary course of business on the Company’s Series D, F, G and H preferred stock. Each of the Certificates of Designation governing the Series C, D, F, G and H preferred stock prohibits the Company from declaring or paying dividends or any other distribution on the common stock or any other class of stock ranking junior as to dividends and upon liquidation unless all dividends on the senior series of preferred stock for the dividend payment date immediately prior to or concurrent with the dividend or distribution as to the junior securities are paid or are declared and funds are set aside for payment. In the event that the number of shares of outstanding common stock is changed by any stock dividend, stock split or combination of shares at any time shares of Series G preferred stock are outstanding, the number of shares of common stock that may be acquired upon conversion of the Series G preferred stock will be proportionately adjusted. The conversion rate for Series G preferred stock may also be adjusted in the event of certain dilutive issuances of equity stock or stock equivalents of the Company, as described in the Certificate of Voting Powers, Designations, Preferences and Relative, Participating, Optional or Other Rights, and the Qualifications, Limitations or Restrictions Thereof, of the Series G Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, which was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Report on Form 8-K filed on January 4, 2001. Any of the rights and preferences of the holders of any of the Company’s series of preferred stock may be waived by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of that series.

The Company expects to continue to accrue dividends for the Series C, D, F, G and H preferred stock in a manner similar to its current practice. The Company has, to date, made all scheduled dividend payments for Series D, F, G and H preferred stock. Continued payment of dividends related to the Company’s preferred stock is subject to legally available funds for the payment of dividends as prescribed by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Scheduled dividend payments may also be deferred for other reasons. The Company’s Board of Directors pre-approves all payments of dividends. Assuming no redemption or conversion into common stock occurs related to the Series G preferred stock and that the Company continues deferral of payment of dividends on Series C preferred stock, aggregate scheduled dividend payments for Series D, F, G and H preferred stock will be $360,000 for the final two quarters of 2007. Since none of the outstanding series of the Company’s preferred stock are mandatorily redeemable, dividend payments could extend for an indefinite period beyond 2007. Future dividend requirements could also be substantially larger if the Company determines at any point in time that payment of dividends on Series C preferred stock is advisable based on business conditions and liquidity considerations and S&T Bank eliminates the prohibition of payment of dividends.

In connection with the Company’s July 26, 2005 sale of Series H preferred stock, the purchasers of Series H preferred stock also received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock which have an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The number of shares for which the Series H warrants may be exercised and the exercise price will be adjusted on a weighted average basis in the event of a dilutive issuance as described in the Form of Common Stock Warrant, which was filed as Exhibit 4.3 to the Company’s Report on Form 8-K filed on July 28, 2005. The exercise price may be paid in cash or by delivery of a like value, including liquidation value and any accrued but unpaid dividends, of Series C, D, F or G preferred stock. The warrants will expire July 26, 2020, unless exercised earlier.

The Purchase Agreement for the July 2005 acquisition of CodeLab provides for annual payments of contingent consideration to be paid to the former holders of equity interests in CodeLab for each of the three annual periods ending July 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, consisting of a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. The Purchase Agreement provides, however, that the Company may at its sole option elect to pay the annual contingent payments in all cash. The annual contingent payments due, if any, for the three annual periods will be calculated pursuant to a negotiated formula, as specifically set forth in the Purchase Agreement, that is based upon an agreed to multiple of the net operating profit of CodeLab’s business, determined on an accrual basis before deductions for income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization, in the relevant annual period, and subject to further adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including potential setoffs by the Company for certain indemnification claims. The total of the annual contingent payments shall not exceed an aggregate of $5,600,000. Any payment becoming due shall be made by the Company not later than 120 days following the end of such annual period. In October 2006, in consideration of the first annual period ended July 31, 2006, the Company delivered to the former holders of equity interests in CodeLab purchase consideration consisting of a cash payment of $1,085,000 and 361,642 shares of the Company’s common stock. The stock issuance was recorded based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance of $0.55 per share, resulting in the recording of $4,000 to common stock and $195,000 to additional paid-in-capital. A total of $112,000 of the contingent consideration for the annual period ended July 31, 2006 was recorded as expense for compensatory elements, of which $47,000 was included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the remaining $65,000 was recorded as expense in 2006. The remainder of the contingent consideration for the first annual period was regarded as additional purchase price and was recorded as goodwill.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company believed it was highly likely that contingent consideration would also be due for the second annual period ending July 31, 2007 and that the amount could be reasonably estimated. Management’s estimate of accrued contingent consideration related to the CodeLab acquisition of $1,570,000 was reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2006. Management attributes $101,000 of the contingent consideration for the second annual period to compensatory elements, of which $48,000 was included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006. A total of $1,522,000 of the amount accrued as of December 31, 2006 was regarded as additional purchase price and was recorded as goodwill. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, an additional $46,000 of selling, general and administrative expense was recognized related to the compensatory elements. As of June 30, 2007, the Company recorded an $80.000 reduction to its estimate for the portion of the contingent consideration regarded as additional purchase based on financial results during the first half of 2007. Management’s adjusted estimate of accrued contingent consideration of $1,536,000 is reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2007. Management expects that an additional $7,000 of expense will be recognized through the end of the second annual period on July 31, 2007, related to compensatory elements. Management will monitor the results of CodeLab’s operations during the remainder of the second annual period and during the succeeding annual period. The Company will record liabilities for additional purchase consideration when estimates can be reasonably determined and exceed any recorded liability, and management believes payment of additional consideration is highly likely for a given period. The allocation of any contingent consideration due under the Purchase Agreement between purchase consideration and expense will be determined when such estimates are recorded.

The Asset Purchase Agreement for the November 2004 acquisition of Jimary Business Systems provides for contingent consideration for the purchased assets in the form of annual earn-out payments in cash for each of three annual periods ending November 30, 2005, 2006 and 2007 based on agreed upon percentages of “Earn-Out Margin” for each of such annual periods generated from consulting and certain related revenue, determined and adjusted in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement. The aggregate amount of all such annual earn-out payments shall not exceed $252,000. No contingent consideration was due for the first annual period. Contingent consideration of $29,000 for the second annual period ended November 30, 2006 was reflected as accrued purchase consideration on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2006, and was subsequently paid in cash in January 2007. As of March 31, 2007, the Company believed it was highly likely that contingent consideration would also be due for the third annual period ending November 30, 2007 and that the amount could be reasonably estimated. Management’s estimate of accrued contingent consideration related to the Jimary Business Systems acquisition as of that date of $214,000 was regarded as additional purchase price and was recorded as goodwill as of March 31, 2007. Management evaluated its operations during the second quarter of 2007 and reduced its previous estimate by $22,000. A total of $192,000 is reflected as accrued acquisition consideration on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2007 related to the Jimary Business Systems acquisition. The significant increase in contingent consideration for the third annual period, as compared with the preceding periods, is attributable to growth in the Company’s Business Process and Information System Product Sales

operations realized since the beginning of the third annual period and anticipated by management to continue throughout the period. There can be no assurance that management’s expectations will be realized. Should operations experience a downturn over the remainder of the period, a lesser amount of contingent consideration may be due. Management will monitor the results of operations during the remainder of the third annual period. The Company will record liabilities for additional purchase consideration when estimates can be reasonably determined and exceed any recorded liability, and management believes payment of additional consideration is highly likely for a given period. Any contingent purchase consideration that may become due is to be remitted within sixty days of the end of the period.

Capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $179,000 and included purchases of computer hardware for new employees and the Company’s periodic upgrading of technology, software, furniture and equipment. Management forecasts that capital expenditures during the remainder of 2007 will not exceed $200,000. Management expects future capital expenditures will include purchases for the Company’s periodic upgrading of technology hardware, software, furniture and necessary leasehold improvements for the Company’s offices. Business conditions and management’s plans may change during the remainder of 2007 so there can be no assurance that the Company’s actual amount of capital expenditures will not exceed the planned amount.

During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, capitalized software development costs of $50,000, $476,000 and $232,000 were recorded by the Company related to enhanced applications for the Company’s DigiMix™ interactive television solutions. Software development costs included purchased software development tools, testing equipment, consulting services and the cost of internal labor. The capitalized costs were incurred subsequent to the Company’s determination that technical feasibility had been achieved for the developed software applications and prior the introduction of the developed applications on customer projects in May 2007. Following commercial introduction, capitalized software development costs are being amortized over a three-year period. Additional development costs associated with the software applications incurred will be expensed.

The Company’s cash balances may be diminished over the remainder of 2007 due to many factors, including the use of cash for operations, changes in working capital, capital expenditures, dividends on preferred stock, the payment of additional purchase consideration related to the recent business acquisitions, additional acquisitions of businesses and other factors. Despite these factors, the Company believes that available funds and cash flows expected to be generated by current operations will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for its existing operations for at least the next twelve months.

As part of its general business strategy, the Company may from time-to-time seek strategic alternatives. The Company may be required to consider other financing alternatives during the next twelve months or thereafter as a result of future business developments, including any acquisitions of businesses or assets, any shortfall of cash flows generated by future operations in meeting the Company’s ongoing cash requirements, or the Company’s inability to renew or replace the current credit facility after its expiration in September 2007. Such financing alternatives could include selling additional equity or debt securities, obtaining long- or short-term credit facilities, or selling other operating assets. No assurance can be given, however, that the Company could obtain such financing on terms favorable to it, or at all. Any sale of additional common stock or convertible equity or debt securities would result in additional dilution to the Company’s stockholders.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN No. 48”), which prescribes measurement attributes and a recognition threshold, as well as criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions for financial reporting purposes. FIN No. 48 also requires additional disclosure concerning uncertainty related to deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Any adjustments resulting from implementation of FIN No. 48 are required to be recognized as changes in accounting principles with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Implementation of FIN No. 48 is required for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted FIN No. 48 beginning January 1, 2007. The Company reviewed its previously recognized tax benefits and determined that no material uncertainty was indicated as of the implementation of the new standard. There have been no subsequent changes to the Company’s determination regarding its previously recognized tax benefits. In 2007, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48-1, Definition of “Settlement” in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN No. 48-1”), which provides clarification regarding the effective settlement of tax positions upon examination by a taxing authority. FIN No. 48-1 has not impacted the Company’s application of FIN No. 48 to date.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”), which provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and expands required information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Implementation of SFAS No. 157 is required for the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 157 beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption of SFAS No. 157.

In September 2006, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Financial Statements – Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB No. 108”), which provides guidance regarding how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether material misstatement exists. SAB No. 108 indicates that both of the commonly used approaches for assessing the materiality of a current year misstatement should be evaluated. If correcting a current year misstatement would materially alter the amount of misstatement attributable to prior years, SAB No. 108 indicates the prior year financial statements should be adjusted to reflect the correction, although previously filed reports do not need to be amended. If a registrant had properly applied one of the materiality approaches in prior years and had considered all relevant qualitative factors in its materiality assessment, it could alternately recognize the cumulative effect of applying SAB No. 108 prospectively through changes to beginning balances of the affected assets and liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the first fiscal period following November 15, 2006. Implementation of SAB No. 108 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to choose fair value measurement for many financial instruments and certain other items as of specified election dates. Business entities will thereafter report in earnings the unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been chosen. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument, may not be applied to portions of instruments and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. SFAS No. 159 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 159 beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption of SFAS No. 159.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

The Company currently does not invest excess funds in derivative financial instruments or other market rate sensitive instruments for the purpose of managing its foreign currency exchange rate risk or for any other purpose. The Company’s credit facility with S&T Bank bears interest at a variable rate, which potentially exposes the Company to the risk that interest rate increases may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. The Company does not currently believe this risk is likely to result in a material adverse impact.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Prior to the filing of this Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007, there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information included in this Report, you should carefully review and consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, certain of which have been updated below. These factors could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results of operations. The risks, uncertainties and other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks, uncertainties and other factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations, financial condition or operating results. Any of the risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline substantially.

We need to continually identify and obtain new engagements from existing and prospective customers to maintain the level of committed backlog necessary to sustain our ongoing consulting services and systems integration operations. If we fail to continually obtain new engagements, our business may be materially adversely affected.

As of June 30, 2007, our total committed backlog for consulting services and systems integration was $12,009,000. We expect $5,242,000, $4,239,000, $1,616,000 and $912,000, respectively, of the backlog will be realized as revenue during the remainder of 2007, 2008, 2009 and the period 2010 through 2012. Consulting and systems integration revenue realized during the first half of 2007 plus backlog expected to be earned during the second half of 2007 represents 103% of 2006 consulting and systems integration revenue. Backlog includes unrealized revenue related to:

 

   

fixed-price projects,

 

   

service arrangements under which fixed amounts are billed for specified time periods, and

 

   

management’s estimate of future fees for projects billed on an hourly basis.

The actual revenue that we realize from the projects included in backlog is subject to variability in timing due to project schedule delays or acceleration and to variability in the amount due to many factors, including the actual hours required for hourly-based projects and additions or reductions in project scope.

As of June 30, 2007, our committed backlog for the Collaborative Solutions Practice Area was $7,586,000, of which we expected to earn $2,856,000 during the second half of 2007 and $2,353,000, $1,533,000 and $844,000, respectively, during 2008, 2009 and the period 2010 through 2012. Collaborative Solutions revenue realized during the first half of 2007 plus backlog expected to be earned during the second half of 2007 represents 105% of 2006 Collaborative Solutions revenue. The projects for our Pittsburgh and Northern California operations and some of the projects for CodeLab included in the committed backlog for the Collaborative Solutions Practice Area are expected to be performed over a relatively short time period, primarily in the third quarter of 2007. CodeLab also has several engagements for maintenance, analysis and support related to customers’ customized software applications which are covered by long-term agreements. During the first half of 2007, the Collaborative Solutions backlog increased significantly due to (i) an extension of the term of CodeLab’s agreement with Citigroup for a three-year period and (ii) commitments for two large engagements being obtained by Allin Consulting-California, one with a new customer and one for a new project with a previously existing customer.

Committed backlog for the Technology Infrastructure Practice Area was $1,048,000 as of June 30, 2007, of which $510,000 is expected to be earned during the remainder of 2007, $386,000 during 2008, $84,000 during 2009 and $68,000 during the period 2010 through 2012. Technology Infrastructure revenue realized during the first half of 2007 plus backlog expected to be earned during the second of 2007 represents 53% of 2006 Technology Infrastructure revenue. We expect that the majority of the projects included in the committed backlog for the Technology Infrastructure Practice Area will be performed over a relatively short time period, primarily in the third quarter of 2007. The backlog for future years relates to several long-term agreements with customers of CodeLab and one long-term project for Allin Consulting-California.

Committed backlog for the Business Process Practice Area was $899,000 as of June 30, 2007, of which $871,000 is expected to be earned during the remainder of 2007 and $28,000 during 2008. Business Process revenue realized during the first half of 2007 plus backlog expected to be earned during the second half of 2007 represents 112% of 2006 Business Process revenue. The projects included in the committed backlog for the Business Process Practice

Table of Contents

Area include a mix of projects that will be performed over a relatively short time period, primarily in the third quarter of 2007, and longer-term fixed-price support arrangements performed over specified time periods, typically annual periods. Starting and ending dates for these arrangements vary so as of June 30, 2007, remaining project terms range from days to almost a full year.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to sustain or improve the backlog levels for the Technology Infrastructure, Collaborative Solutions and Business Process Practice Areas. We depend on the ability of our sales and marketing personnel to continually identify and obtain new engagements from existing and prospective customers so that we can generate the ongoing revenue necessary to sustain the operation of these practice areas beyond the short time period during which significant portions of our present backlog will be realized. General economic conditions and other risk factors such as geopolitical considerations may harm our ability to obtain future business, which would negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

As of June 30, 2007, committed backlog for Interactive Media consulting services was $948,000, of which we expect to realize $426,000 during the remainder of 2007 and $522,000 during 2008. Interactive Media revenue realized during the first half of 2007 plus the backlog expected to be earned during the second half of 2007 represents 160% of 2006 Interactive Media consulting revenue. To date, most of the significant Interactive Media consulting projects have involved architecture design and configuration of interactive television systems for cruise ships. The Interactive Media backlog includes remaining work on systems for the Azamara Journey, Costa Serena, MSC Orchestra and Regent Navigator, as well as projects expected to start during the second half of 2007 or early 2008, including systems for the Azamara Quest, Fred. Olsen Balmoral, and Regent Mariner and Voyager. Backlog also includes development and technical support projects. During July and August 2007, Interactive Media backlog increased significantly as we received orders for shipboard interactive television systems for the NCL Gem and Celebrity Mercury and Galaxy. We expect that the majority of revenue associated with the NCL Gem and Celebrity Mercury projects will be earned during the second half of 2007 while we project that the majority of the revenue associated with the Celebrity Galaxy project will be earned during 2008.

To date, most of the significant Systems Integration projects have involved implementing interactive television systems on cruise ships in connection with the Interactive Media consulting services described above. As of June 30, 2007, committed backlog for Systems Integration was $1,528,000, of which we expect to realize $578,000 during the remainder of 2007 and $950,000 during 2008. Systems Integration revenue realized during the first half of 2007 plus the backlog expected to be earned during the second half of 2007 represents 129% of 2006 Systems Integration revenue. Backlog for the Systems Integration segment includes interactive television system implementation projects for the ships listed above with related Interactive Media projects. The ship system orders for the NCL Gem and Celebrity Mercury and Galaxy received during July and August 2007 also significantly increased Systems Integration backlog.

We will continue to seek additional consulting and systems integration projects with existing customers in the cruise industry and their affiliates and with other cruise lines for which we do not presently provide services. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional orders beyond those already received. Unforeseen events, such as schedule delays by our customers, could result in our realization of the backlog expected to be earned during the second half of 2007 as revenue in 2008 or later.

In recent periods, our Interactive Media and Systems Integration operating segments have generated revenue primarily from a small number of large projects for a small number of customers concentrated in the cruise industry. Other operating segments have also had certain customers account for significant portions of their revenue. We also expect continuing concentration of revenue in a small number of CodeLab customers in the financial services sector. The loss of any number of these customers or a material reduction in business we receive from any of these customers could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Interactive Media and Systems Integration segments collectively accounted for 20% and 22%, respectively, of our revenue and gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2006, and 32% and 33%, respectively, of our revenue and gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Historically, Interactive Media and Systems Integration revenue has been highly concentrated among a few customers in the cruise industry. Our success over the last year in obtaining new cruise lines as customers has lessened our dependence on any individual customer, but has not changed the concentration of these segments’ operations in one industry. The cruise industry is subject to various risks from geopolitical and economic considerations, future potential increases in passenger fares necessitated by rising fuel costs, security regulations, new or increased taxes and other factors. Any factors which negatively impact the cruise industry could decrease demand for Interactive Media and Systems Integration services.

We also expect continued concentration of revenue among significant customers and in the financial services vertical market as a result of our 2005 acquisition of CodeLab, as a small number of customers represent significant portions of CodeLab’s revenue. Any factors which negatively impact the financial services industry could decrease demand for the services offered by CodeLab.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, there were no customers accounting for 10% or greater of our consolidated revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, one significant customer accounted for 10% of our consolidated revenue. During both periods, a number of customers accounted for 10% or greater of the revenue of individual segments. The loss of any of these customers could negatively impact the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

Each of the Certificates of Designation for the Series C, D, F, G and H preferred stock prohibits the Company from declaring or paying dividends or any other distribution on the common stock or any other class of stock ranking junior as to dividends and upon liquidation unless all dividends on the senior series of preferred stock for the dividend payment date immediately prior to or concurrent with the dividend or distribution as to the junior securities are paid or are declared and funds are set aside for payment. The order of liquidation preference of the Company’s outstanding series of preferred stock, from senior to junior, is Series H, Series F, Series G, Series D and Series C. The S&T Loan Agreement prohibits the Company from paying dividends on any shares of its capital stock, except for current dividends payable in the ordinary course of business on the Company’s Series D, F, G and H preferred stock. The payment of any dividend on shares of any outstanding series of the Company’s preferred stock is subject to legally available funds under Delaware law.

To date, the Company has paid all dividends required and legally and contractually permissible under the terms of each of the Certificates of Designation governing the Company’s Series D, F, G and H preferred stock. A significant arrearage of dividends accrued on Series C preferred stock because dividends were not initially scheduled to be paid until within ten days of June 30, 2006. The Company’s management determined that meeting the scheduled payment was inadvisable due to liquidity considerations and a restrictive covenant in the S&T Bank Loan Agreement which prohibits payment of dividends on Series C preferred stock during the term of the agreement, which expires on September 30, 2007. The Company has indefinitely deferred payment of dividends on Series C preferred stock.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding 25,000 shares of Series C Redeemable Preferred Stock, having a liquidation preference of $100 per share. Accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series C preferred stock were $3,654,000 as of June 30, 2007 and $3,730,000 as of August 13, 2007. Payment of dividends on Series C preferred stock

Table of Contents

at any future date is subject to elimination of the restrictive covenant in the S&T Bank Loan Agreement and legally available funds for the payment of dividends as prescribed by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Series C preferred stock earns dividends at the rate of 12% of the liquidation value thereof per annum, compounded quarterly, an increase of 4% from the rate in effect through June 30, 2006. Accrued dividends as of June 30, 2006 compound thereafter at a rate of 12% of the liquidation value thereof per annum. Dividends on the Series C preferred stock accrued after June 30, 2006 were originally scheduled for quarterly payments. The Company also indefinitely deferred payment of the scheduled quarterly dividends until such time as the restrictive bank covenant is eliminated, legally available funds are present and management determines that payment is advisable given the liquidity considerations of the Company.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding 2,750 shares of Series D Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. Series D preferred stock earns dividends at the rate of 6% of the liquidation value thereof per annum, compounded quarterly if unpaid. To date, all required payments of dividends on Series D preferred stock have been made. Accrued but unpaid dividends on Series D preferred stock were $28,000 as of June 30, 2007 and $6,000 as of August 13, 2007.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding 1,000 shares of Series F Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. Series F preferred stock earns dividends at the rate of 7% of the liquidation value thereof per annum, compounded quarterly if unpaid. Dividends accrued for seven months during 1999 of $41,000 are not required to be paid prior to redemption. To date, all required payments of dividends on Series F preferred stock have been made. Accrued but unpaid dividends on Series F preferred stock were $59,000 as of June 30, 2007 and $49,000 as of August 13, 2007.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding 150 shares of Series G Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock having a liquidation preference of $10,000 per share. Series G preferred stock earns cumulative quarterly dividends at the rate of 12% of the liquidation value thereof per annum until the earlier of the date of any redemption or the date of conversion into common stock. Dividends not paid at scheduled dates will compound quarterly thereafter. To date, all required payments of dividends on Series G preferred stock have been made. Accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series G preferred stock were $45,000 as of June 30, 2007 and $22,000 as of August 13, 2007.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding 250 shares of Series H Redeemable Preferred Stock having a liquidation preference of $10,000 per share. Series H preferred stock earns cumulative quarterly dividends at the rate of 12% of the liquidation value thereof per annum until redemption, if any. Dividends not paid at scheduled dates will compound quarterly thereafter. To date, all required payments of dividends on Series H preferred stock have been made. Accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series H preferred stock were $50,000 as of June 30, 2007 and $11,000 as of August 13, 2007.

See Part I, Item 2 of this Report on Form 10-Q, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, under the caption “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for more information about the Company’s outstanding preferred stock.
