Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at September 30, 2011 and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.  All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.  Interim financial statements are prepared on a basis consistent with the Company’s annual financial statements.  Results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.
 
The balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
 
References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “authoritative guidance” are to the Accounting Standards Codification issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
 
For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” This ASU establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements including multiple revenue-generating activities. This ASU provides amendments to the criteria for separating deliverables, measuring and allocating arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The amendments in this ASU also establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. Significantly enhanced disclosures are also required to provide information about a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, including information about the nature and terms, significant deliverables, and its performance within arrangements. The amendments also require providing information about the significant judgments made and changes to those judgments and about how the application of the relative selling-price method affects the timing or amount of revenue recognition. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  This guidance became effective for the Company as of January 1, 2011, and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
  
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, “Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements.” This ASU changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements that are “essential to the functionality,” and scopes these products out of current software revenue guidance. The new guidance will include factors to help companies determine what software elements are considered “essential to the functionality.” The amendments will now subject software-enabled products to other revenue guidance and disclosure requirements, such as guidance surrounding revenue arrangements with multiple-deliverables. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  This guidance became effective for the Company as of January 1, 2011, and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-6, “Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements,” that amends existing disclosure requirements under ASC 820 by adding required disclosures about items transferring into and out of Levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy; adding separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relative to Level 3 measurements; and clarifying, among other things, the existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation. For the Company, this ASU was effective beginning January 1, 2010, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which is effective beginning January 1, 2011. Since this standard impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
 
In March 2010, the FASB ratified a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force that recognizes the milestone method as an acceptable revenue recognition method for substantive milestones in research or development arrangements. This consensus would require its provisions be met in order for an entity to recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a substantive milestone as revenue in its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved. In addition, this consensus would require disclosure of certain information with respect to arrangements that contain milestones. This issue is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010. This guidance became effective for the Company as of January 1, 2011, and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-4, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs,” which clarifies the wording and disclosures required in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), to converge with those used (to be used) in International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The update explains how to measure and disclose fair value under ASC 820. However, the FASB does not expect the changes in this standards update to alter the current application of the requirements in ASC 820. The provisions of ASU 2011-04 are effective for public entities prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is prohibited. Therefore, ASU 2011-04 is effective for the Company during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company does not expect ASU 2011-04 to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)” which amends the presentation of other comprehensive income (OCI). This guidance requires entities to present net income and OCI in either a single continuous statement or in separate consecutive statements. The guidance does not change the components of net income or OCI, when OCI should be reclassified to net income, or the earnings per share calculation.  The provisions of ASU 2011-05 are effective for public entities prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is prohibited.  Therefore, ASU 2011-05 is effective for the Company during the first quarter of fiscal 2012.  The Company does not expect ASU 2011-05 to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
 
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)”, which is intended to simplify goodwill impairment testing.  Entities will be allowed to perform a qualitative assessment on goodwill impairment to determine whether a quantitative assessment is necessary. The provisions of ASU 2011-08 are effective for goodwill impairment tests performed in interim and annual periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Therefore, ASU 2011-08 is effective for the Company during the first quarter of fiscal 2012.  The Company does not expect ASU 2011-08 to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes.  Significant estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements include impairment of goodwill, valuation of intangible assets, deferred tax valuation allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts and the fair value of stock options granted under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans.  Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased.  As of September 30, 2011, no amounts were invested in cash equivalents.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The Company records its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its assessment of various factors.  The Company considers historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of the Company’s customers, current economic conditions and other factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay.
 
Inventory
 
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.  Inventory is primarily comprised of finished goods.
 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations.  Pursuant to ASC Topic 350, the Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter, or between annual tests, in certain circumstances, such as the occurrence of operating losses or a significant decline in earnings associated with the asset. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment using the two-step process. The first step is to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, a second step must be followed to calculate impairment. The Company performs the initial step by comparing the carrying value to the estimated fair value of the reporting units, which is determined by considering future discounted cash flows, market transactions and multiples, among other factors.
 
Intangible Assets
 
Acquired intangible assets include trade names, patents, developed technology and backlog described more fully in Note 2. The Company uses the straight line method to amortize these assets over their estimated useful lives. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable in accordance with ASC Topic 360.  To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows, without interest charges, will be less than the carrying amount of the assets.  Impairment is measured at fair value.
 
Financial Instruments
 
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable.  At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the carrying value of the Companies financial instruments approximated fair value, due to their short term nature.
 
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
 
Revenue is generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable, collectability is probable, and there is no future Company involvement or commitment.  The Company sells its commercial products directly through its sales force and through distributors.  Revenue from direct sales of products is recognized when shipped to the customer and title has passed. The Company also recognizes revenues from licensing of its patented software to customers. The licensed software requires continuing service or post contractual customer support and performance; accordingly, a portion of the revenue is deferred based on its fair value and recognized ratably over the period in which the future service, support and performance are provided, which is generally one to three years.  Royalties from the licensing of the Company’s technology are recognized as revenues in the period they are earned.  For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company received $3,665 and $4,815 respectively, in royalty fees.
 
Revenue from research and development contracts are generally with government agencies under long-term cost-plus fixed-fee contracts, where revenue is based on time and material costs incurred.  Revenue from these arrangements is recognized as time is spent on the contract and materials are purchased.  Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
The Company also performs consulting work for other companies.  These services are billed based on time and materials.  Revenue from these arrangements is also recognized as time is spent on the contract and materials are purchased.
 
Subscriptions to database information can be purchased for month-to-month, one, two, and three year periods.  Revenue from subscriptions are deferred and recognized over the contractual period, which is typically three years.
 
The Company offers enhanced extended warranties for its sales of hardware and software at a set price.  The revenue from these sales are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual period, which is typically one to three years.
 
Under the provisions of ASC Topic 605-25, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” revenue arrangements are allocated to the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values and revenue is recognized in accordance with its policy as stated above.
 
Business Concentrations and Credit Risk
 
During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, the Company made sales to two customers that accounted for approximately 28% and 31% of total revenues, respectively.  These revenues resulted from contracts with the U.S. government and sales to a large communications company.  These customers represented 32% of total accounts receivable at September 30, 2011.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company made sales to two customers that accounted for approximately 38% and 39% of total revenues, respectively.  These customers represented 21% of total accounts receivable at September 30, 2010.
 
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and restricted stock is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share excludes all anti-dilutive shares.

The above listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies.  In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by generally accepted accounting principles, with no need for management's judgment in their application. There are also areas in which management's judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result.
